VASCO: Did three daysmake all the difference be-tween victory and defeatfor the re-election of Cor-talim MLA Mauvin God-inho?

The losing MGP-BJP al-liance candidate Prem-anand (Babu) Nanoskarcertainly seems to thinkso. And given the fact thata heavyweight like God-inho won by a little over900 votes despite workingin the delimited Dabolimconstituency for about twoyears seems to suggestthat Nanoskar could wellhave pulled off an upsetvictory, with more time athis disposal.

Prior to the polls, God-inho was confident of a5000-vote lead againstNanoskar, but votersthough otherwise andGodinho had to be contentwith a mere 944-vote lead.

“Three more days formy campaign and withsome good media cover-

age, I would have beenthe winner in Dabolimconstituency especiallysince BJP and MGP sup-porters had worked tire-lessly for my success,”said the MGP candidateNanoskar.

Being the local candi-date from New Vaddem,

which comprises threemunicipal wards withnearly 11000 of the 19309votes, Nanoskar managedto draw in a large numberof votes within 15 days ofhis election campaign. Hisstrategy was simple: Beinga local from Dabolim, hewas fully aware of issuesin the area, somethingwhich would be difficultfor Godinho, an exported

candidate from DonaPaula.

“Despite the eleventhhour entry into the MGP,after resigning from theBJP, I had hardly 15 daysfor my campaign, whilemy rival began his pollpreparations over twoyears ago,” explained

Nanoskar.Despite his short poll

campaign, Nanoskar mo-bilized anti-Godinhoforces, which included for-mer minister Jose PhilipD’Souza, an industrialistfrom Vasco, and bigwigsfrom Congress from Sat-tari and Salcete.

Incidentally, a BJPworker claimed that an ab-sent lotus (BJP) symbol

was a crucial turning pointfor the loss of the MGPcandidate, Nanoskar.

“Had Babu contested onthe BJP ticket, instead ofthe MGP ticket, he couldeasily have been the 22ndBJP MLA, since the Lion(MGP) symbol is not pop-ular among voters inDabolim,” said BJP workerSantosh Kerkar.

“Many voters com-plained that the lotus sym-bol was missing from thevoting machine and inthat confusion, they hadvoted other candidates,”Kerkar added.

In fact, Godinho himselfconsiders “lucky” to havesurvived despite the anti-Congress wave.

“I am lucky to haveovercome the anti-Con-gress wave. It was ineffi-ciency of Congress partyleaders to resolve variouscontentious issues, includ-ing illegal mining, drugnexus, promotion of Fam-ily Raj and MoI,” saidGodinho.

MARGAO: Residents ofAquem-Baixo on the out-skirts of the CommercialCapital have raised eye-brows over the constructionof a concrete retaining wallon the banks of a tributaryof River Sal at Rawanfond.

They demanded to knowwhether the wall is beingbuilt in a scientific mannertaking into account the eco-logical and environmentalaspects or to satisfy a

builder having close politi-cal connections.

Navelim Civic and Con-sumer Forum SecretaryJoseph L Vaz has contendedthat the retaining wall isbeing constructed only onone side of the rivulet, fear-ing inundation and damageto houses along the rivercourse.

The people have now re-quested the Water Re-sources Department to goslow on the work, sincethere are long term implica-

tions of the decisions interms of damage to prop-erty as well as life in case offlooding and a disturbanceto the ecology and marinelife in the river.

The residents have alsotaken strong objection tothe encroachments in therivulet as mud is beingfound dumped along theriver banks by a JCB priorto the Assembly polls.

When some residents ofAquem-Baixo approachedthe JCB contractor, there

was no signboard at siteand the contractor couldnot produce any “WorkOrder”. Aquem-Baixo VPhas also not given any per-mission for this dumpingwork. Therefore the resi-dents forced the contractorto stop the work till he pro-duces the work order. Theresidents fear that any en-croachment on the otherside (Firgulem) may resultin flooding and erosion onthe Aquem-Baixo side dur-ing the monsoon.

MARGAO: The Commer-cial Capital is gripped by amosquito menace over thelast few months, but theMargao Municipal Councilsays it has neither man-power nor insecticides totackle the situation.

It’s more than a year andhalf since the civic body car-ried anti-larvae operation inthe city, but all operationshave come to a halt sincethen for want of anti-larvaechemicals and manpower.

That the situation hascalled for urgent attentionis evident by the fact thatthe Margao Urban HealthCentre has dashed off a let-ter to the civic body to takeup spraying across the city.Inquiries with the civicbody, however, revealedthat there’s no workforce tocarry out such operations.

That’s not all. There’s noinsecticides in the store ofthe civic body and inquiriesrevealed that the last timethe municipality had pro-cured insecticides was ayear and half ago.

A civic official in the

know admitted that the cityis hit by a mosquito men-ace, but expressed helpless-ness in tackling thesituation for want of man-power and insecticides.

Given that the UrbanHealth Centre has written aletter to undertake sprayingin the city, the civic officialswill put up a note for theconsideration of the ChiefOfficer to engage labourersand procure the insecti-cides.

Incidentally, the Margaomunicipality has stoppedfogging operations in thecity since the health depart-ment advised against fog-ging to tackle mosquitoes.Though the civic body hadprocured fogging machinesin the past, they are nolonger put in use.

PANJIM: Why has thebuffer zone around the UN-ESCO world heritage struc-tures not been marked onthe Regional Plan 2021?

According to Senior TownPlanner Edgar Ribeiro, whois also the chairman of theGoa Heritage Action group,it was pressure and threatsby local politicians againstthe government and Ar-chaeological Survey of Indiaofficials that has preventedit being demarcated in theregional plan.

One of the foremostgrievances Ribeiro has withthe present Regional Plan2021 that is currently inforce, is the complete neg-lect of the buffer zonearound the UNESCO worldheritage site.

Sources present at themeeting, between seniorTown Planner and Chief

Minister Manohar Parrikaron Wednesday, revealedthat Ribeiro was especiallyconcerned about the show-ing of settlements right upto the door step of theWorld Heritage Structureslocated at Old Goa.

“Ribeiro told the ChiefMinister that he is willingto approach the ASI in NewDelhi and even UNESCOoffice about this issue,” asource informed Herald.

Ribeiro himself whenspeaking to media personsafter emerging from hismeeting with the chief min-ister said that he was con-cerned about the heritage of

Goa and this had broughthim to meet the chief min-ister.

“We all want a good planfor Goa. One of the thingswe want from the plan is topreserve the heritage ofGoa that is dear to my

heart,” Ribeiro had said onWednesday.

Ribeiro is also notpleased with the inclusionof eco-tourism zones at thebehest of certain politiciansin the map.

With the help of the ASIstaff, Ribeiro has superim-posed the buffer zone on theRP 2021 maps and presentedit to the Chief Minister.

The SLC which drew upthe Regional Plan 2021 hadcompletely ignored the 100metre radius buffer zone aswell as further 200 metreregulated zone around theworld heritage structures.

The Old Goa Action Com-mittee had previouslypointed out with photo-graphic evidence, large scaleviolations of the buffer zoneas well as proof that localMLA Pandurang Madkaikarhad annexed huge swatchesof land just adjacent to theBasilica of Bom Jesus as wellas other land that has beenmarked as settlement.

“Right outside the wall ofthe Basilica there are illegalstructures that have comeup. We have written severalletters to the panchayat, thedeputy collector and otherauthorities, but nothing hasbeen done,” Peter Viegas ofthe Old Goa Action Com-mittee said.

The entry tax which isbeing presently leviedon raw materials/pack-

ing materials used in phar-maceutical industry andimported into Goa should beabolished.

The government can in-crease Value Added Tax(VAT) on medicines from 5per cent to 7 per cent if itthinks the public can absorbthat. VAT on luxury cars cost-ing more than Rs 10 lakhsshould be doubled.

Cars should be subjectedto city usage tax in order toavoid congestion in cities.Every car with a Goa regis-

tration should be chargedcity usage tax for entering acity other than its home city.For instance, a car owner in

Panaji should be made topay tax only when he en-ters other cities. For this tobe effective, simultane-ously public city transporthas to be introduced withtwo type of buses- onesuper luxury with a fare ofRs 100 per day and others-normal with a fare of Rs10per day. This has to bedone on an experimentalbasis in Panaji, Margaoand Mapusa initially.There is a need to providehuge pay car parking lots

outside the city. The government should

ensure that the entire drink-

ing water available in PWDpipelines is potable so thatpeople do not feel the need toboil it or pass it through UVfilter.

Government should installsuitable devices on power ca-bles entering a city to controlthe voltage so that people donot feel the need to fit voltagestabilisers on their gadgets.Finally, larger budget provi-sions should be made to in-crease the number of policepersonnel both for generalduties as well as traffic con-trol. This step will help in im-proving law and orderdrastically.

PANJIM: With clear signsof division in the Atanasio‘Babush’ Monserrate sup-ported Corporation of Cityof Panaji ruling panel, in allprobability BharatiyaJanata Party supportedpanel may have its mayorin the election to the postslated this month.

St Cruz MLA Babush in ameeting held at his resi-dence on Thursday zeroedin on deputy mayorRudresh Chodankar to re-place Mayor Yatin Parekhwhose one year term endson March 20. However, aformer mayor Tony Ro-drigues has also decided to

CALANGUTE: SaligaoMLA Dilip Parulekar hasextended his support tothe agitating villagersagainst a proposed mobiletower at a residential sitein Saligao.

Parulekar gave this as-surance to residents ofAbreu Vaddo, Saligao,while interacting with themat the mobile tower con-struction site.

Addressing a large gath-ering of Saligao residents,Parulekar criticised the Sali-gao panchayat for failing tostop the construction ofmobile tower thereby forc-ing residents to go to thecourt.

"It is really surprisingthat the Panchayat did notact in the matter despiteprotests from residents.There was no need for resi-dents to move the court andthe matter could have beenresolved by the panchayat,"

Saligao MLA blames panchayat for mobile tower ‘mess’

join the race. Speaking to Herald, Ro-

drigues confirmed that he

has decided to contestmayor’s election though hehas not intimated Babushabout his decision. It is sur-prising that Rodrigues whois a close associate of Babush

has decided to go against hismentor’s wish. Rodrigueshas served as mayor forthree terms previously.

Monseratte has alsohandpicked Bento Lorenato be deputy mayor. Ini-tially, Taleigao supremowanted Tony Rodrigues toreplace Parekh but subse-quently changed his plan.

While it’s not clearlyknown what forced thechange of plan, it is learntthat Monseratte is not veryhappy with Rodrigues andalleged that he supportedBJP’s candidate in Taleigao,which is why Jennifer Mon-seratte won Taleigao seatwith a ‘less’ margin of 1151votes.

On March 6, Chief Minis-ter Manohar Parrikar hadhinted that they would seethat their panel would takeover CCP by managing tobring two corporators fromBabush’s panel on theirside.

As things stand at pres-ent, it is most likely that BJPsupported panel can easilyhave their candidateelected as mayor, if Ro-drigues does not budgefrom his stand.

Currently, Babush panelhas 16 members in the 30-member CCP while BJPpanel led by Vaidehi Naikhas 12 members.

Independent corporatorsSurendra Furtado and wifeRuth Furtado claimed thatthey are neutral. When con-tacted Surendra Furtadotold Herald during mayor’selection held last March, heand his wife had not sup-ported either of the group,and were neutral.

As things stand at present,it is most likely that BJPsupported panel can easilyhave their candidateelected as mayor, if Ro-drigues does not budgefrom his stand.

Hoax ‘three-faced’ cobracauses stir in Canacona


CANACONA: Was it na-ture's freak or a prankster'stweak? In the end, it provedto be the latter but not be-fore the photo of a "three-headed cobra" caused a stirin Canacona.

Rumours that a "three-faced cobra" was sightedand "captured" on a mobilephone by a passing motoristat Karmalghat a few daysago led to a flurry of textmessages being exchangedacross mobile phones, aspeople wanted a rareglimpse of "nature's freak".

Adding to the rumourwas the claim that the snakewas sighted near amakeshift Ghumti at Kar-

malghat.When the matter reached

the attention of a few re-porters, they realized thatthe route, as depicted in themobile photo, did notmatch that of present-dayKarmal ghat.

The man, however admit-ted that while the place mayhave been in doubt, he in-sisted that the "three-faced"snake was indeed for real.

When this correspondentcontacted officials from theForest (wildlife) depart-ment, an official dismissedthe photo as a fake andstated that a prankster hadcleverly morphed theimage of the snake on acomputer, to resemble thatof a "three-headed" snake.

MUMBAI: Opposition inthe Maharashtra LegislativeAssembly Thursday criti-cised the state governmentfor failing to secure envi-ronmental clearance for in-stalling the 309-foot tallstatue of Chhatrapati Shiv-aji in the Arabian Sea.

Taking a cue fromDeputy Chief Minister AjitPawar's comments, theLeader of Opposition Ek-nath Khadse wonderedwhy the government hadnot vigorously pursued thematter with the Ministry ofEnvironment as it had donefor controversial Lavasaproject in Pune district.

Ajit Pawar had said at thecustomary tea party hosted

here Wednesday that thestate government was look-ing for an alternate site nearthe sea since the Centre hasnot yet granted the permis-sion for the project.

"The government was notsincere in getting sanctionsfor the statue of the warriorking in the Arabian Sea,"Khadse said while demand-ing a unanimous resolutionthat the statue be erected asplanned in the Arabian sea

as decided earlier.The ruling Congress-

NCP government had in itselection manifesto prom-ised installing the 309-foottall statue of the Marathaking astride a horse in theArabian Sea.

PWP leader GanpatraoDeshmukh said chief min-ister Prithviraj Chavanshould make a detailedstatement on the stepstaken by him so far. PTI

M’rashtra govt blamed for delay

NEW DELHI: A day afterproposing fare hike in therail budget which has threat-ened his job, a defiant Rail-way Minister Dinesh Triveditoday said he would repeatthe same if asked to presentthe budget again.

Trivedi, whose sackinghas been demanded by Tri-namool Congress chief Ma-mata Banerjee, also saidneither has he been con-tacted by Trinamool Con-gress chief Mamata Banerjeenor he has spoken to her yet.

"I would do the same if Iam asked to present thebudget again," Trivedi toldreporters here.

Trivedi has proposedupto 20 per cent passengerfare hike in the rail budgetfor 2012-13, inviting thewrath of Trinamool Con-gress chief Mamata Baner-jee who has written PrimeMinister Manmohan Singhto sack him.

When it was pointed outthat the fare hike proposalswere contrary to his party's

policy, he said "I have doneit for the Railways and thecountry...not for party. If Ihave to please my party,then I am not doing my

work."On the possibility of fare

hike rollback, Trivedi said"the budget is in Parlia-ment and I will be guided

by Parliament. Parliamentwill be guided by the wis-dom of people."

Referring to Lokpal, hesaid "why Lokpal has come?Because of the wisdom ofthe people. If Parliamenttells me to cut down, then Iwill say okay I am cuttingdown on safety. But then donot blame me if somethinghappens on safety."

Invoking RabindranathTagore, Trivedi said he isinspired by the great poetone of whose poemsreads "where the mind iswithout fear and the headis held high. It is all sym-bolic."

In an apparent dig atMamata without namingher, Trivedi said "what isthe point of havingTagore's music at trafficjunctions and not follow-ing him? "

"There has to be a very se-rious doubt or infirmity inthe dying declaration for thecourts to not rely upon thesame. Of course, if it falls inthat class of cases, we haveno doubt in our minds thatthe dying declaration cannotform the sole basis of convic-tion. However, that is not thecase here.

We are not outof the woodsyet. 12 out ofthe 40 electedMLAs’ face crim-inal charges,three seriousones; and itcuts acrossparty lines.

Now that the heat anddust have settled, it isworth reflecting on the

events that led up to March 6,and thereafter, and examine thelessons derived from them.

First and foremost, the ECteam deserves our unequivocalpraise and appreciation. I per-sonally know poll officers whostarted work at 5 a.m. and fin-ished at 11 p.m. on March 3 andMarch 4, so that we could exer-cise our rights with confidence.An unusually large voterturnout signifies either riggedelections or that the electoratehas confidence in the systemand determination of purpose. Ibelieve the latter, and thereforeI am convinced the ElectionCommission as an institution,must not be tampered with. Onthe contrary, it must be empow-ered to impose stiffer penaltiesand punitive action.

The winning margins rule outthe element of chance. Apartfrom four results, the marginsindicate the voters’ clear inten-tions, producing the intendedresult. Money undoubtedlychanged hands. With the elec-

tions and the threat of retalia-tion receding, the worms areemerging from the woodwork.Stories abound of votes fetchinganything between Rs.500 toRs.5000 each. However, in manycases the voter accepted themoney and then voted preciselyas he pleased! In spite of thehuge sums spent, both locallyand in New Delhi, some candi-dates either lost or now warmthe opposition benches. Thewriting is on the wall for thosewith the intelligence to read it.Splashing obscene ill-gottenwealth no longer guaranteeselectoral success- transparentgovernance does, because wenow have an info-savvyyounger discerning electoratewhose mantra is simple; per-form or get out of the way.

In my constituency, only twoof the five candidates presentedelection manifestos, one ambi-tious, and the other in jarringEnglish. The rest did not appearto have one, hence there was noknowing what the candidate in-tended to do if elected. I am sureother voters had similar experi-ences. It is high time candidates

took the process more seriously,because the electorate certainlydoes.

We are not out of the woodsyet since 12 out of the 40 electedMLAs face criminal charges,three serious ones- and it cutsacross party lines. BJP-7, Con-gress-3, GVP-1 and Ind.-1. Thedeclared increase in candidates’assets was mind-boggling; it ap-pears to attract everyone’s atten-tion except the IT department.Interestingly, none of the loserswere honest enough to admitthat the core reason for failurewas corruption. Barring theweather and the mother-in-law,everyone and everything elsewas blamed.

What of the future? I am gladto see an educated educationminister who does not need toannounce on national televisionthat in three months he will be‘acquiring’ a graduation certifi-cate. I hope the MoI issue will besettled factoring in parentalrights and aspirations. I hope tohave a minister who will not cutoff the water supply purely be-cause the victims’ politics causehim heartburn. A ministry be it

health or public works, is not apersonal fiefdom. I neither wantto see a minister leading a mobattacking a police station, nor alaw minister leading one attack-ing a hotel. Nursing homeshopefully will not be raided onflimsy excuses to silence criti-cism. I want the money seizedduring the elections, whether inTaleigao or in Chorao, to be in-vestigated with equal vigourand enthusiasm.

It is a simple matter of trust.Godhra still rankles after adecade because NarendraModi has never found it in hisheart to express any remorsefor the thousands who diedhorrific deaths. After all theywere Indians from Gujarat. Wehave been publicly promised aGoa BJP version of governancerather than the Modi BJPmodel; remorse has been ex-pressed. Let us hope it tran-scends to unbiased honestyand fair play, because fiveyears down the line, accounta-bility is ensured. India willstill remain the world’s largestand robust functioningdemocracy.

Reflections on the elections

Gone are the days of thebicycle. The vehiclewith two wheels to be

ridden by pushing the pedals ina circular motion is fast beingreplaced by the four wheelerfancy box shaped car.

I remember my school days,when I used to pedal my wayto the school a kilometre away.It was fun riding the bicycle,with breeze blowing awaywisps of my short mop of hair.There were other school chil-dren who also would enjoywheeling their way to readbooks at school. Nowadays,there are almost no eagerbeavers wanting to knowabout Einstein or the theory ofevolution, or the rivers mean-dering Goa or the rules ofBODMAS. Youngsters todayare mostly interested in fash-ion, widening their social cir-cle and taking to bad vicessuch as drugs, boozing orsmoking cigarettes.

Today, the bicycle is ridden bythe ‘privileged few’ – someschool children (whose parentsencourage them to ride thesetwo wheelers), the ‘gaunchopoder’ (with his basket of freshlymade ‘pao’), ‘ghantis’ (who fre-quent our houses to collect oldcartons, plastic, paper, etc) anda few of the ‘have-nots’ (whocannot afford luxurious modesof transport).

I have often heard my dadreminiscing about his childhoodto us: He would often gang upwith his small clique of friendsand they would cycle all theway to Margao to watch amovie. Pedalling nine kilome-tres is not an easy task for tinytots. But that seems to be one ofthe reasons that the old of todayare more healthy than theyounger generation.

Cycling is a very healthyform of exercise among otherphysical activities for a personof any age. No wonder, we see

stationary bicycles or exercisebikes in gyms and fitness cen-tres. Cycling is beneficial bothphysically and mentally. Be-sides toning the body, espe-cially the thigh and calfmuscles, it reduces anxiety, de-pression.

Cycling is also a popularsport wherein competitors viefor the title of the fastest cyclist.This form of sport is promotedin the Western countries – oneof the most famous cyclists inthe world of sports is LanceArmstrong. In Australia, thereare separate bicycle lanes for cy-cling enthusiasts who thenspeed to their workplace, studycentres, malls, etc.

It is easy to learn cycling ifyou are keen to do so. Push thatold cycle out from your garage.You only need a strong will ifyou wish to engage in thissport (of course, besides wipingoff the cobwebs and dust fromthe cycle). If you don’t have a

cycle, you may gift yourself oneon your next birthday. Thenpedal your way across thestreet. The art of balancing yourbody frame on the sleek ma-chine and pedalling it forwardon the road might take somepractice. You may get yourselfa bit bruised or cut while tryinghard to earn that unofficial titleof ‘cyclist.’ Well, as the sayinggoes ‘no gain without anypain.’ But it is a reward wellearned!

It is important that youngparents of today teach theirchild to cycle among otherforms of extracurricular activ-ities. Sports should not besubstituted with modern-agegadgets like cell phones andlaptops. Children of todayneed to be physically activeand should be constantly onthe move to be healthier. Soall of you out there pick upyour cycles and pedal andpedal.

Cycling our way through life

The communication network of BSNL is seriously affectingGoa, due to the malfunctioning of their services. BSNLclients are being deprived of communication facilities as

their services are interrupted frequently, causing communicationfailure. This is one of the reasons why people dial their handsets re-peatedly to get connected. This results in the unnecessary rise incosts. Many a times when we dial a particular number, we receivemessages such the messages are either ‘Network failure’ or ‘Thisnumber does not exist’, ‘ lines on this route are busy’ etc.

There are several areas in which the BSNL’s performance has beenfound to be below par:

* The Staff working in their respective areas in Goa have no tech-nical background or knowledge of the functioning of the network.

* There is no co-ordination with the State government, resultingin a blame game either with the PWD or municipalities and pan-chayats – such as the CCP.

* There is non-availability of proper equipment for fault findingof the leakages or faults in the cables.

* The splicing of cables joints not adequate as no proper gadgetsare available or issued.

* There is improper planning for laying the pipeline, which gen-erally are found crossing over the electrical underground HT ca-bling and water connection piping.

* Faulty telephones sets are not replaced, or they replaced sets arealso faulty or work for a short duration after replacement!

Apart from this, the SDOT does not have telephone sets in stock.The receivers issued to clients are substandard and of the lowestquality. Every time the customer demands a replacement of theirtelephone sets, the BSNL has no stock to replace them. The old re-ceivers are seen dumped and no repairs are undertaken as theyhave no expert technicians recruited for servicing and maintenance.The BSNL staff is lazy even in this 21st century.

There are serpentine queues for the payment of The BSNL mo-biles and landlines monthly bills at the telephone office. Thereshould have been a single window for payment of both the bills.More counters need to be made available to clear the load at differ-ent locations in Panjim.

Clients are invariably seen fighting with the BSNL staff at thecounter, resulting in further delays. Often bills have been delayedin the post, further resulting in people rushing to pay the bills.

The BSNL should therefore ensure that their facilities are im-proved. The State BJP Government could co-operate in the interestof Goans in the State.

‘Win-ability’ criteriaGoans have voted. And considering theclear mandate, they voted for changewith a turnover breaking nationalrecords. As a voter, I was depressed bythe extent of corruption and the rape ofGoa due to mining. The regular murderof fellow Goans and school childrenfelled by the speeding trucks, RP2021,conversion of land and giving jobs tooutsiders and politicians becoming richetc., were keenly observed with disgustand simmering anger. When those per-ceived as most corrupt attempted towiden their scope by accommodatingfamily members and the Congress partyand the NCP acceding to this on thegrounds of win-ability as if the people’sconcerns were immaterial. This was thelast straw. It is comical too hearChurchill’s ridiculous arguments on thereasons for Congress-Nationalist Con-gress Party defeat. He doesn’t seem torealise the futility of his diatribes sinceGoans have already delivered their ver-dict which is clear and overwhelming -even if the reasons for the same are be-yond the ken of these gentlemen andtheir imbecile High Command.

Saluting Rahul Dravid One of India’s greatest cricketers hasbid adieu to first class cricket after hav-ing served the country for 16 long years.Indian cricket will not be the same with-

out him and it will be difficult to replacea man of his calibre. He was indeed atrue gentleman on and off the field - heplayed with dignity and without any self-ish motives, always putting the countryfirst and thus upholding the spirit of thisgame. He was the best batsman atNo.3 in test cricket. With his retirementhe has given youngsters a chance toprove their mettle.We salute you Rahul. Hats off to you. Wewill definitely miss you on the cricket field.

CongratulationsCuncolkarsTruly we have taken a collective leap tobring down decade of misrule in Cun-colim. Three cheers to all of us. This haspaved the way for a rational and exhila-rating victory for everyone in Cuncolimconstituency. The rationale embedded in this exhila-rating victory has shown that we Cun-colkars are mindful of our land. Thedialectical product of the crony capital-ism unleashed as ‘development’ of Cun-colim, influenced voters of Cuncolimconstituency. This lead to the outright rejection ofcrass crony capitalist pseudo develop-ment. Those mindless politicians epito-mised reckless devastation of ourecology, conversion of our land and un-fortunate sale to outsiders and more. Astrong stench of the rot of previous ad-

ministration is still visible and has to becleaned unitedly. Niz Cuncolkars havecome together and there’s amazingpower in our unity. We have shown thatwe will not tolerate our land being dis-honoured – that we Cuncolkars pos-sess aesthetical and moral sensibilities,we are certainly acutely sensitised bythese sensibilities. Viva Cuncolim Con-stituency! Viva Goa!

Self goalChurchill Alemao used to be a fighter atgrassroots level. But now he seems tohave lost everything. None of the Ale-maos are in top position, except at thepanchayat or Zilla Panchayat level. Thissports lover turned politician cannot ac-cept defeat either in politics or on thefootball field. Self goals are not ac-cepted. He blames the coach or the ref-eree officiating the game, never thepoor performance of his players. Now he has applied the same formula,blames the former CM Mr DigambarKamat, the Police, the Church and theEVMs for his election defeat. Now Goa’sCM Manohar Parrikar will have to usehis skill to keep the ball passing, soonhe will declare Football as the Stategame then hopefully a bailout packagefor football teams. As Churchill threatens to quit the Con-gress Party, all pending cases may startcropping up. The only way out is to form

a new party ‘save football’ which maybring him power again. A Columbianplayer Andreas Escobar scored in hisown goal, when he returned back homesome crazy fans shot him dead. Thistime due to the self goal by the Alemaos(family raj) voters have voted them out.

DesecratingmonumentsSince a sizeable section of the Goan mi-nority community is in its honeymoonphase with a newly elected BJP, it canonly be expected that the needle of sus-picion for desecration of graves andtombs in Curchorem or damage tosome cross some where else will get di-verted to the frustrated opposition. Itwill take a while before the political in-toxication of the Goan minorities diesdown and they begin to realise thetruth. For those familiar with communalterror across the country, the timing andthe designs are clear. It also costs nothing for the Governmentto declare attractive cash awards for in-formation on the culprits at public ex-pense when the police investigation canbe expected to make no headway. Incase public pressure condemning theincidents is seen to increase, somescapegoat from among the migrant mi-norities or a mentally unsound patientwill get picked up for blame.

Today, the bicy-cle is ridden bythe ‘privilegedfew’. Cycling isa very healthyform of exer-cise amongother physicalactivities for aperson of anyage.

The Director of Mines Arvind Loliyekar’s continuance in of-fice is absolutely untenable, especially under Manohar Par-rikar under whose Chairmanship, the PAC report on

mining, damned his role.As we have recalled in today’s edition, the PAC report stated, “Il-

legal mining is carried out in connivance of local politicians, bu-reaucrat s of the mines and forests department and the local policeforce at the local level”. It further states, “The Director of Mines hasremained a silent spectator while allowing rampant illegal miningin the State.”

These lines were drafted and written by the current Chief Minis-ter Manohar Parrikar, who is also the Mines Minister, in is earlierrole as the head of the Public Accounts Committee probing illegalmining. If this was the damning conclusion, serious enough to berecorded in a direct manner as this in an official document whichcould not be tabled in the assembly, Arvind Loliyekar should resignimmediately. Or else Chief Minister Parrikar should either transferhim or take sterner action so that the department is cleansed.

Let’s say this straight without any preliminaries. The Mines De-partment is a hot bed of rampant corruption. If we know that it haspresided over illegal mining, the natural corollary is that it has beenthe beneficiary of its ill gotten spoils. This needs to be investigatedand specific proof unearthed, some of which is already availablewhile the rest is circumstantial. It comes as no surprise that not asingle question asked by Herald to Loliyekar in the months of Sep-tember to November of various acts of deliberate negligence andomissions regarding several irregularities, has been answered eitherby him or the then Chief Minister and Mines minister DigambarKamat

Herald will over the next few days, remind readers of the extentof illegal mining and by association illegal loot Loliyekar haspresided over. No we are not pronouncing him guilty but we areconfidently saying that there is a very strong case of criminal neg-ligence against him. He has to be probed first by the state investiga-tive agencies and then the Lokayukta, when it is set up. This is whenvarious skeletons will tumble out linking Loliyekar’s actions tothose at the very top including middlemen and fixers includingfamily members of the then Chief Minister. In all these probes letthere be a scrutiny of the assets of the mines director in the pastthree years. Let that be on the table right away.

Ditto for the Town and Country Planning Department. Investi-gations in to the marking of settlements in the Regional Plan, primafacie reveal major “fixing” by the TCP to help certain builders andarchitects. The probe should go into who made suggestions forchange of zones, whether they were connected to members of theSLC or TCP officials and then finally who are ultimate beneficiarieswere. It will be useful to also find who were the first off the block,seeking construction licenses under the notified RP 2021.

It’s is not enough to de notify and get a new Regional Plan. Thoseresponsible for literally selling the soil of Goa should be identifiedand arrested either through an independent criminal investigationor though the Lokayukta process.

Goa needs a new team in both these departments.

Mumbai isnot new tocommunal

riots - the oldest riotin the city dates backto 1893. Despite thisMumbai has alwaysbeen hailed for itscosmopolitan spirit.Communities havealways existed to-gether in the past and

continue to do so in the future.Mumbai has rejected philoso-phy of hatred, says a newbook.

Mumbai, however, has be-come a fragile city, very break-able, and yet the fissures areunderneath- over it is the glossof unity and toughness. Mum-bai is in reality, a breakable city.It is another matter that it joinsup very fast, says the book.Written by Meena Menon, ajournalist, 'Riots and After inMumbai, Chronicles of Truthand Reconciliation’ provides asynoptic record of events inMumbai looking into the polit-ical manipulations that ordi-nary people of bothcommunities alike are sub-jected to by the ruling powersand political parties.

"Ordinary people are sharpto realize that there is an enor-mous political stake in all this.As more than one personpointed out (during interviewsby the author), the ruling classencouraged this policy of di-vide and rule as the segrega-tion of communities helps theirvote banks", the author says.The political establishmentbenefits from this division, thehelplessness of a community,and the threat of marginaliza-tion is like the sword of Damo-cles hanging over it.

The book says that reasonsfor the backwardness andhelplessness were not beingaddressed at the first place. Asa result, the reconciliation, postriots, with their lives is at adeeply personal level and thereis little political attempt tobreach this communal divide.

Political parties pay lip serv-ice to secularism, and nurturepeople as their voters, the booksays. Tracing the history ofcommunal riots in Mumbai,the author says there is no at-tempt to understand the fac-tors that drove the violence

and redress those issues whichare splintering communities.

Riots are followed by dis-placement and then the ele-ment of living in separatetownships or ghettos comesup. Mumbai already hadplaces where Muslims livedseparately. Mumbai's first com-munal riot dates back to 1893and since then there have beenseveral riots in the BombayPresidency and during andafter Independence, the booksays. The process of ghettoiza-tion could have started in thosedays, the author says.

Mumbai, over a century haschanged vastly both in terms ofits geography and population.From a cluster of seven islands,Greater Mumbai is spread over468 sq kms, while the Mumbaimetropolitan region extendsover 3887 sq kms.

Though ghettoized in parts,in Mumbai, people have not al-lowed themselves to be de-feated by a divisivephilosophy. There are manyexamples of people helpingeach other during the riots andthere are great many stories ofcourage. That is what mustgive hope for the future, theauthor says.

Menon has divided her 266-page book into sections, begin-ning with history of themetropolis, chronicling com-munal riots in Mumbai, emer-gence of ghettos, displacementand polarization, loss of liveli-hood, perception of justice andthen concluding her research.

The author's findings andcomments are based on re-search which she says largelyconsisted of tracking downpeople affected by riots and in-terviewing them. PTI

When Trivedithreatened to launchinto another piece ofpoetry, the oppositionresponded, “No!"

Political parties pay lip service to secularism,and nurture people astheir voters- Meena Menon

The railway budgetthat was presented onWednesday, 14March, in a two-hour

speech by railway minister Di-nesh Trivedi was remarkable inthat it was the first time in adecade that passenger fareswere hiked. Trivedi tried topresent the increase as not par-ticularly huge by saying that itworked out to just two paiseper km for second class ticketsand a maximum of 30 paise perkm for AC first class tickets.However, that works out to a

hike of 35 percent or more insome cases and means that sub-urban tickets will be 42 percentcostlier for a distance of 25kmand would increase from Rs 7to Rs 10. The railway fareswould also rise and fall accord-ing to diesel prices.

Full of shayaris and refer-ences to his party chief MamataBanerjee – at one point whenthe minister threatened tolaunch into yet another piece ofpoetry, the opposition re-sponded with a pleading “No!”– the minister’s speech prom-

ised to transform the railwaysover the next half decade. Butall those glowing referencesand poetry couldn’t saveTrivedi from the wrath ofBanerjee whose party, Tri-namool Congress, labeled it“anti-people”. According tonews reports, Banerjeehasthrown a “rollback or rollover”notice at Trivedi and has beenquoted as asking her party col-leagues: “Can Pranab Mukher-jee prepare a budget which iscontrary to the wishes of Con-gress chief Sonia Gandhi?”

Mamata, while addressing arally in Nandigaram, de-manded a withdrawal of thehike and later said her partywould ask for a cut motion.Later, the West Bengal chiefminister faxed a letter to theprime minister and asked himto sack Trivedi and replace himwith her favoured candidate,Mukul Roy. Trivedi himselfsaid he had acted in “nationalinterest” in his railway budgetand that he was prepared to bedismissed for it.

As is usual in Delhi’s mercu-

rial political circles, things keptchanging all through the day. Itinitially looked like the UPAwas all right with losing thesupport of the Trinamool andits 19 MPs in the Lok Sab-habecause it had perhaps gar-nered support from the SP orthe BSP. However, later at nightFinance Minister PranabMukherjee called Mamata toask her not to insist on the in-duction of Roy until he himselfhad presented the UnionBudget on Friday.

Mamata is reported to have

agreed on the condition thatRoy be the one to announce therollback, for which a delegationof party MPs met the PM onThursday. It seems the future ofthe new rail budget will be de-cided in the course of the rail-way minister’s reply in the LokSabha on Tuesday. WhetherTrivedi will be the man whowill reply or it will be new faceMukul Roy will be knownwhen the budget starts – an oc-casion that demands the atten-dance of the current railwayminister.

An Indian girl who wasplucked from povertyto act in the Oscar-win-

ning movie Slumdog Million-aire is to star in a new film withHollywood legend AnthonyHopkins, her manager said. Ru-bina Ali, now 13, will feature in"Lord Owen's Lady," a lovestory about a young Welsh no-bleman and an Indian woman,with filming due to start in Sep-tember this year in Britain andIndia.

"Rubina had signed the proj-ect one and a half years back.The producers have now in-formed us that she will shoot forabout three weeks in Shimla,Wales and London," Dubey saidfrom Mumbai. Rubina, who was

picked from the Mumbai slumsto play the role of young Latikain the 2008 hit Slumdog Million-aire by director Danny Boyle,will be paid "more than 20,000pounds " for her second interna-tional project.

She was just eight when she

appeared in the blockbuster,which won eight AcademyAwards in 2009. Her journeyfrom a Mumbai slum to Holly-wood red carpet made her fa-mous around the world. Theteenager has since had her shareof problems, following uglyfamily fights over her incomeand a fire in her congestedMumbai slum that destroyedher family's tin-roofed shack.

Rubina has since moved to anew flat in the upmarket Ban-dra area of the city. As well asHopkins, the Welsh-born starof "Silence of the Lambs", hernew film project is also report-edly set to feature formerWelsh rugby player GavinHenson. AFP

Lenten tiatrs in oldendays normally had areligious theme, withthe passion andsufferings of Christforming the crux of themain plot, butnowadays, the tiatrsfocus on varied topicssuch as adultery,exploitation of women,degradation ofenvironment, familyvalues and even politics.ELVIS SEQUEIrA givesan insight…

There was a time whenthe last day of the car-nival brought the cur-tains down on tiatrs

with the exception of a handfulof biblical operettas and pas-sion plays being staged in selectcities and villages of Goa. Overthe years, the trend changed -the first day of the Lent nowmarks the beginning of yet an-other season of tiatrs in Goa. Al-though the seasoned directorsof the tiatr scene keep them-selves busy, putting their actstogether for their new releasescheduled for release on EasterSunday, there are at least tenmore troupes which prop up atiatr regularly during Lent.

Vell’lekar Nirmiti under the di-rection of Father Nevel Gracias,The Pilar Music Academy, Cal-ado de Verna, Ligorio Fernan-des, Fr Planton Faria are someof the prominent troupes thatstep on stage regularly duringLent. Unlike the tiatrs and op-erettas staged during Lent inolden days which normally hada religious theme, with the pas-sion and sufferings of Christforming the crux of the mainplot, the tiatrs staged duringLent nowadays focus on variedtopics such as adultery, ex-ploitation of women, degrada-tion of environment, familyvalues and even politics. Tiatrenthusiasts spoke of what they

felt about tiatrs staged duringLent.

Remedios Colaso, a seniorcitizen from Raia finds little dif-ference between the tiatrsstaged during Lent and thosestaged during ordinary time.“Devache tiatr mhunnttat punn

tantun choddxem devachem

kainch assona (They say that it’sa religious tiatr but there is al-most nothing religious inthem),” he states, adding that“they should have seen reli-gious tiatrs staged by J P Souza-lin and others in olden times.”

Veena Braganza, a housewifefrom Vasco watches tiatrs ba-sically for entertainment al-though she agrees that “there

are sometimes issues of publicimportance that are highlightedin tiatr.” She opines, “A persondoes not need to watch a tiatrto become a better Catholic,”affirming that “there are otherways and means to redeemourselves.”

Menino Fernandes from Vel-sao however feels differently,“Tiatrs staged during Lent aredifferent from those stagedotherwise, since they provideviewers with much to reflectupon during Lent.” He saysthat it all depends on how eachone takes it, citing the cliché,“You can take a horse to thewater but cannot make itdrink.”

Rosemary D Mello, a fish ven-dor from Nerul feels that songscriticising politicians should notbe included in religious tiatrs.“Tiatrists criticise politicians allyear round, at least during Lentthey should be spared criticismas such songs also spoil theoverall performance of the tiatrfrom the audience’s point ofview.”

Tiatr lovers may have differ-ent views and opinions to ex-press as far as Lenten tiatrs areconcerned, but as long asparishes and other organisa-tions in Goa promote tiatrs astool for Lenten reflections theLenten or the religious tiatrs asthey are called are here to stay.

This incident took place in my village when I was ateenager. Our village club had organised a tiatr at thechurch square on the occasion of the feast of the patron

saint of the village, This was the first time that the club was or-ganising a tiatr on the occasion of the feast, as earlier for manyyears it was organised by a group of individuals from the village.

The newly appointed village parish priest denied permissionto the private party as he felt that any activity in the precinctsof the church should be organised either by the church or a reg-istered village club as it represents the villagers in their social,cultural and sporting activities, but the aggrieved party consist-ing of some shady characters were not happy with the decisionof the parish priest and had issued threats to the organizers.

Unfazed by the threats a large number of villagers gatheredat the church square to enjoy the festive evening. The tiatrstarted and everything went on smoothly for an hour and thena fight started back stage, the crowd apprehending troublefrom the other group rushed out of the pandal and within a few

minutes the venue bore a deserted look,But what actually happened back stage on that

day, or on that night rather, as revealed byone of the club members was very amusing.

He revealed that he tried to stop a drunk-ard from forcefully trying to

enter the stage and disruptthe show. As he

would not lis-ten, he slapped

him hard on theface thinking

that he was sentby their opponents to disrupt theshow but was later identified as

one of the actors playing therole of a drunkard in thetiatr. The actor got into the

skin of his character muchbefore he made his actualentry on the stage and thatprovoked the assault.

Trend of staging Tiatrs during Lent

"Our muscles are really plastic,"says Juleen Zierath ofKarolinska Institutet in Swe-

den. "We often say "You are what youeat." Well, muscle adapts to what you

do. If you don't use it, you lose it,and this is one of the mechanisms

that allows that to happen."The DNA changes in ques-

tion are known as epige-netic modifications and

involve the gain or loss ofchemical marks on DNA over and above the familiar sequence ofAs, Gs, Ts, and Cs. The new study shows that the DNA within skele-

tal muscle taken from people after a burst of exercise bears fewer chemicalmarks (specifically methyl groups) than it did before exercise. Those

changes take place in stretches of DNA that are involved in turning"on" genes important for muscles' adapta-tion to exercise.

When the researchers made muscles con-tract in lab dishes, they saw a similar loss ofDNA methyl groups. Exposure of isolated

muscle to caffeine had the same effect. Zierath ex-plained that caffeine does mimic the muscle contraction

that comes with exercise in other ways, too. She doesn'tnecessarily recommend anyone drink a cuppa in place of ex-

ercise. It's nevertheless tempting to think that athletes whoenjoy a coffee with their workout might just be on to something."Exercise is medicine," Zierath says, and it seems the means to

alter our genomes for better health may be only a jog away. And forthose who can't exercise, the new findings might point the way to med-

icines (caffeinated ones, perhaps?) with similar benefits.

Jennifer spends $8000 monthly for ‘her look’

Hollywood's golden girl, Jennifer Aniston, is envied by millionsfor her perfectly sun-kissed glow, toned body and shiny locksand now we know how much it costs. The Wanderlust star, 43,

reportedly spends $8000 a month on lotions and potions, her dietaryregime and her exercise schedule in order to maintain her flawless ap-pearance. The revelation comes weeks after her confession to beingobsessed with laser peel surgery on an episode of Conan O'Brien.

Aside from the 'horrifying' peel that Aniston says leaves her lookinglike a 'battered burn victim' for a week, the actress indulges in sooth-ing treatments and creams. Yoga: The actress spends around $900 aweek on her three hour-long sessions with friend and trainer Many In-gber. She says, “I feel like I am getting a meditation, a workout andtime with my friend, all rolled into one hour.”

One neck ointment she uses, is allegedly made withcrystals from the planet Mars and costs $450 while sheregularly splurges on Tracie Martyn Spa Red Carpet Facialsthat cost over $500. On leaving the New York spa, she re-portedly takes home a $390 goodie bag of products. To offsetthe expense of her extravagant facials, Aniston washes herface with a cheap Neutrogena Facial Cleansing Bar and mois-turizes daily with comparatively affordable Dr Hauschka RoseDay Cream for around $40. But she makes sure she staysyoung and wrinkle free with Mila Moursi RejuvinatingSerum for $350. And let's not forget Aniston's dieti-cian, Carrie Watt, whose consultation fees andhome delivery service total around $680 a week.

JOEL E

Goans are in haste to makefast money. They have notime to stand, stare and

relax. In the bargain, they tendto destroy the beautiful creationof God for their own selfish inter-ests. Craze for easy money

has led to degradation of val-ues in the family. Pilar MusicAcademy’s Lenten musical op-eretta ‘Rav...Khoim Vetai?’ in-vites every Goan to create timeto sit and relax. In all the hustlesand bustles of life, one needs toreturn to God who is the sourceof everything in life. Only thenman will understand the truemeaning of living in this materi-alistic world.

Lester (Anil Pednekar) is so en-grossed with his business at hisshack along the beach, that hehardly has time to enjoy theserenity and the natural beauty

around the place. He is ably as-sisted by Ben (Francis de Ne-turlim) to carry out his selfishbusiness. Egbert (Elvis Mas-carenhas), a youth from the lo-cality and foreign touristFlamingo (Lenny Fernandes)also visit the beach frequently,but they have a different pur-

pose to do so. Both prefer tocome and simply relax at thebeach and attain peace of mindand heart.

Taken up by Lester’s plan tothrow a party at his shack andmake fast money, Egbert is car-ried away by the evil desire anddecides to change his mindset

overnight. There’s turmoil andconflict in the family whereinRozanne supports her son’s tem-porary plans, while Albin garnerssupport from his daughter to op-pose Egbert’s wicked wishes.Will Egbert succeed to fulfil hisdreams? Does he receive timelysupport from Lester? Whatbrings a change in Lester’s life?What is its outcome?

Biblical scenes interspersed inthe main plot are worth seeingand help the viewer to reflect onpersonal life. Comic interludes byMagno (John D’Silva) and Fran-cis de Neturlim bring in laughteramong the audience. Musicalscore by Fr Peter Cardoso andhis team, besides the playbacksinging by Marilyn D’Costa,Sheena Gracias, SylvesterBorges, Fr Mark Cardozo and FrPeter Cardozo are appealing tothe ears and thought-provoking.

NEW DELHI: Losing hertwo-month-long grim battlefor survival, two-year-oldbattered baby girl Falak,whose harrowing ordealhad shocked the country,died here tonight followinga cardiac arrest.

The child, who was ad-

mitted to the AIIMS on Jan-uary 18 with severe headinjuries, broken arms, bitemarks all over her bodyand cheeks branded withhot iron, breathed her lastat 9.40 pm after an “unex-pected” heart attack, doc-tors said.

“It was unexpected. Shewas fit to be discharged. Allof a sudden, she had a car-diac arrest at nine and wetried to revive her. But thenshe gave up at around 9.40pm,” said Deepak Agrawal,Assistant Professor of Neu-rosurgery at the AIIMSTrauma Centre who hasbeen attending on her fromthe day she was admittedthere.

During her treatmentearlier, she contractedmeningitis and underwentfive surgeries and had alsosuffered two heart attacks.

“She was doing well. Weremoved her from the ICUand shifted her to the wardafter we found that she hadrecovered well. The wholeday she used to spend timeplaying with the nurses atthe hospital.

“All of a sudden she hada cardiac arrest. Since she isa medico-legal case, we willconduct a post-mortem to-

morrow,” Agarwal said.The child was brought to

the hospital by a girl, whohad falsely claimed to beher mother. Investigationsrevealed the shocking storyof Falak, her two siblingsand their mother who wereall separated after fallingvictim to human traffickers.

Falak’s mother Munniwas tricked into a secondmarriage by three womenout of whom two — Laxmiand Kanta Choudhry —were arrested. The trio hadpromised that her threechildren will be taken careof but they were left to dif-ferent people.

Ten people were arrestedin the case. Police tracedFalak’s five-year-oldbrother from the house ofa vendor in West Delhi’sUttam Nagar localitywhile her sister Sanobarwas traced by Delhi Po-lice to Muzaffarpur inBihar. PTI

BEĲING: Acting tough,China's ruling CommunistParty today sacked its high-profile party chief of south-western Chongqing city BoXilai, amidst a scandal afterhis underling took refuge inthe US Consulate.

The purge of the charis-matic but controversy-rid-den leader came ahead ofmajor leadership transi-tion in the nation and justhours after Premier WenJiabao publicly censuredhim over the issue.

Bo, who was replaced byVice Premier and Politburomember Zhang Dejiang,was known in China forhis populist Maoists re-vival campaign and hadbeen seen as one of theleading contenders to joinparty's powerful nine-member Politburo stand-

ing committee, which vir-tually governs the country.

62-year-old Bo will nolonger serve as secretary,standing committee mem-ber or member of the CPCChongqing municipal com-mittee, state-run Xinhuanews agency reported.

A separate announce-ment said Wang Lĳun, theVice Mayor and the PoliceChief of Chongqing whoran into the US Consulatein Changdu last month ap-

parently to save his life andreportedly sought refuge,was also sacked.

CPC has decided to re-move Wang Lijun from theposition of vice mayor ofChongqing, a senior partyofficial told the newsagency. He will be re-placed by He Ting, ViceGovernor and police chiefof Qinghai Province, theofficial said.

While Wang is being in-vestigated, whereabouts of

Bo was not known. Bo waslast seen meeting the presson March 9 on the sidelinesof the National People'sCongress to explain hisstand. Speculation is rifethat he may be taken intocustody for investigations.

Bo, a high-profile son ofa former hero of the party,became mayor of Dalian,Liaoning province, in 1993.He served as governor ofLiaoning and minister ofcommerce before being ap-pointed Party chief ofChongqing in 2007.

Bo became famous in re-cent years for his massivecrackdown on local mafiasin Chongqing, besidesmaking it one of the highlydeveloped cities of China.The crackdown was con-ducted on the ground byWang. PTI

Top Pak military, civil officials mull re-opening NATO supply routes ISLAMABAD: Pakistan isinching towards a decisionon reopening NATO sup-ply routes, which wereclosed following a cross-border air strike in Novem-ber, though it is

expected to impose"tough conditions" like ahefty transit fee for themovement of containertrucks and oil tankers.

The issue of allowing theUS and its allies to resumeusing Pakistani routes fortransporting supplies toforeign troops inAfghanistan figured at ameeting of leaders of theruling coalition and topmilitary officials, includingarmy chief Gen AshfaqParvez Kayani, that was

chaired by President AsifZardari last night.

The civil and militaryleadership evolved consen-sus on lifting the nearlyfour-month-old blockadelater this month but “toughconditions” are expected tobe imposed by Pakistan,

The Express Tribunenewspaper quoted itssources as saying.

“There was a generalconsensus among the par-ticipants that we now haveto reopen the NATO supplyroutes,” an unnamed offi-cial told the daily. PTI

after the Union Budget ispresented in Parliament.

Highly-placed TMCsources said that Singh hadassured Mamata that actionagainst Trivedi, who earnedthe wrath of the party forproposing a hike in passen-ger fares in the Rail Budget,would await the Budgetpresentation, thereby indi-cating that he can lose thejob over the weekend.

Sources said PranabMukherjee had talked toMamata where he is under-stood to have assured herthat her demand would beconceded but she may haveto wait till the presentationof the General Budget inParliament on Friday ormay be for a few days.

Mamata, they said, hasalso been assured that Roywould be replying to thediscussion on the RailwayBudget in Parliament.

For the record, Mukher-jee told Parliament that Ma-mata’s communication tothe Prime Minister (for re-placing Trivedi) was under

“active consideration” butdid not elaborate.

He said there was no res-ignation from Trivedi, whohimself appeared defiantsaying that he has a duty onthe Railway Budget butwould step down the mo-ment Mamata or the Prime

Minister ask him to do so.Earlier in the day, Trivedi

walked into the Lok Sabha10 minutes before the Houseassembled to rousing recep-tion from everybody.

He kept telling MPs whogreeted him that he has nei-ther resigned nor his leaderMamata Banerjee or PrimeMinister Manmohan Singhhas sought the resignationwhich he will tender themoment they demand.

Trivedi had to be in theHouse since it was the day ofhis ministry’s questions. Ar-riving early, he walked to theMPs of all parties, includingthe BJP’s Lal Krishna Ad-vani, Sushma Swaraj andJaswant Singh, Janata Dal’sSharad Yadav, the BSP andSamajwadi Party leaders asalso a large number of themfrom the Congress. CPIleader Gurudas Dasguptamade it a point to walk toTrivedi to greet him.

The united Oppositiontried to put the governmenton the mat as soon as theHouse met, not allowingthe questions for half anhour and then the BJP mem-bers stormed into the wellseeking clarification fromthe Prime Minister, whohappened to be in the RajyaSabha, and forced adjourn-ment till noon. The RajyaSabha also faced storm andadjourned for an hour asthe Opposition refused totake the government’s wordthat Trivedi has not at all re-signed. PTI/TEAM HERALD

Mamata’s didigiri notenough to derail dinesh yet

Department and its politi-cal leadership which in-cluded the then ChiefMinister Digambar Kamat.

Here is what it said 1. Illegal mining

(has been) carried out in ac-tive connivance of localpoliticians, bureaucrats ofmines and forests Depart-ments and the local policeforce at the local level.

2. Department ofMines remained a silentspectator while allowingrampant illegal mining togo on in the State.

3. Complete break-down of machinery pro-vided by the State whichare required to ensure min-ing is undertaken and car-ried out in a legallypermissible manner.

Quite clearly, irrespectiveof what any agency orCommission including theShah Commission finds,the draft PAC report find-ings made by none otherthan Manohar Parrikar,leaves virtually no room forLoliyekar to continue as Di-rector Mines.

Speaking to the Herald, a

senior bureaucrat whoworked closely withDigambar Kamat said, “Hehas been in that position in2009, and while the Gov-ernment will be blamed theMines Director has to ac-count for less royalty, no in-formation of antecedents oftraders, difference in oremined and exported. Hisproblem is that Parrikarknows all of this and won’tbe a silent spectator thatDigambar Kamat was”.

His biggest misadven-ture, however, was lettersent by him to all miningcompanies to install RadioFrequency Identification tomonitor movement of ironore laden trucks. The longten-page note seemed morelike a justification for it’s in-action, before the ShahCommission whose officershad swooped down to Goa.Para 5 of that letter men-tioned…

“The Directorate has un-dertaken an exercise to in-quire into the source ofextraction from exporterswho are not mine owners inorder to assess royalty due

Should Arvind Loliyekar continue as director mines…

to the Government. Inquiryhas not progressed becauseof absence of data and re-luctance on part of ex-porters to furnishinformation”.

This was October 10. Five

months have passed andwe are no nearer to gettingthat information.

There’s something evenmore damning. In thatsame letter Loliyekar writes“It was revealed that a

number of traders were in-volved in the transaction ofsupply of iron ore to ex-porters who were not in aposition to indicate thesource of extraction”.

This is a clear open ad-mission of theft of ore andthe Mines Department’s un-willingness and inability todo anything about it.

Herald has pieced to-gether a series of questionsit has asked Loliyekarbased on several of its in-vestigations into illegalmining. Tomorrow’s editionwill contain a report “TheQuestions Loliyekar neveranswered”.

NEW DELHI: The Centre-

appointed Justice M B

Shah Commission has

submitted its report on il-

legal mining in Goa.

“The Commission of in-

quiry, headed by Justice

M B Shah, has submit-

ted its report on illegal

mining to the Mines

Ministry,” a senior

Mines Ministry official

told PTI.

The official said the Min-

istry is yet to go through

the report and based on

its recommendations

steps will be taken. PTI.

Shah Panel submits report

formal announcement on itin his budget speech.

The Standing Committeeof Parliament that has scru-tinised the DTC Bill has al-ready submitted its report

to the Lok Sabha Speaker.Although the Committee

had suggested raising thetax exemption limit to Rs 3lakh, it is unlikely thatMukherjee will agree to it

in view of the need to con-tain fiscal deficit.

With limited space forgiveaways, the Budget islikely to balance populismwith some tough measures

to check tax evasion andgeneration of black money.

However, in view of re-verses in the recently con-cluded State assemblyelections, Mukherjee may

go slow on economic re-forms like FDI in multi-brand retail and furtheropening of the insurancesector to foreign invest-ment.

Mamata has also been as-sured that Roy would bereplying to the discussionon the Railway Budget inParliament.

MUMBAI: Finance Minis-ter Pranab Mukherjee willpresent the annual budgetto parliament on Fridayagainst a backdrop of slow-ing growth and burgeoningfiscal deficit.

The government willhave to do a balancing act,by raising taxes on someitems such as cars, con-sumer goods and cement toraise revenue, and give in-centives to boost businessconfidence.

Following are industryexpectations on thebudget for the fiscal year

2012/13 that begins onApril 1.n Retailers are expecting

the government to an-nounce a roadmap toopen up the s u p e r -market sector to foreigngiants such as Wal-Martand Carrefour, whichwould help in tie-upsand boost capital in-flows.

n Automakers are bracingfor a possible tax of up to80,000 rupees on dieselcars to partially help fuelretailers for selling fuel atbelow cost. Analysts say

if levied, the tax could re-sult in the cost of a dieselcar increasing by up to 20percent.

n The government is likelyto raise the exemptionlimit on investment inlong-term tax-free bondsfor infrastructure proj-ects.

n Banks expect a govern-ment package for loansgiven to state electricityboards that are in the redand unable to repay.

n Banks also expect taxbreaks on long-term de-posits to help address

asset-liability mismatch.n The government may

roll back stimulus pro-vided during the 2008/09crisis, by raising exciseduty on non-petroleumproducts such as cement,consumer goods and cig-arettes to 12 percent from10 percent. Companiesare lobbying against it.

n Government may im-pose 15-25 percent cus-toms duty on selectimport items, includingpower equipment toboost local industry.

n The finance ministry

may extend tax holidayto 10 years for oil pro-ducers and refiners, from7 years currently.

n Expect government to re-move 5 percent importduty on LNG and natu-ral gas.

n IT industry is lobbyingfor an extension of taxholiday, especially forsmall and medium firmsto cope with pricingpressures and lowermargins.

n The IT industry has alsoasked for reviving tax ex-emption for units in spe-

cial economic zones.n Hospitals and healthcare

companies expect exten-sion of tax holiday inTier-II and III towns to 10years from 5 years.

n The finance ministrymay announce incentivesto encourage higherspending on drugs re-search and development.The government is alsolikely to raise healthcarespending.

n Import duty on thermalcoal may be scrapped togive a boost to powercompanies. Reuters

Budget 2012: India Inc's expectations

NEW DELHI: India an-nounces its annual budgeton Friday as high global oilprices pressure finances forAsia's third-largest crudeimporter and its commit-ment to providing cheapfood to the poor weighs.

Following are some ofthe measures which mightbe addressed in the budget,which will be delivered byFinance Minister PranabMukherjee to parliament onFriday:

FUEL

Refiners want a waiver of awithholding tax whichcould be as high as 40 per-cent on payments made inrupees for Iranian oil. Thegovernment wants pay-ments for Iranian importsto be made in rupees but sofar the mechanism has nottaken off, partly because ofthe tax issue.

Global oil prices havesurged as much as 13 per-cent since the last budget,increasing the revenuelosses of state-run retailersthat sell at below marketrates.

Domestic prices of diesel,cooking gas and keroseneare still heavily subsidisedby the government and thebudget could take steps tocut the financial burden.

The government couldincrease prices of these sub-sidised fuels or announceenhanced subsidy supportfor state-run fuel retailers,who are expected to incur arevenue loss of 1.4 trillionrupees in the current fiscalyear on subsidised sales.

One option could be tofix a per litre subsidy fordiesel sales, as favoured bya finance ministry report onThursday, to curb demandfor the fuel in case globalprices rise and to specifythe government's annualsubsidy share in advance.

For liquefied natural gas(LNG) imports, industry isseeking elimination of fivepercent import tax, a movethat would cut power gen-eration and fertiliser pro-duction costs.

FOOD

The government could takesteps to curb imports of re-fined palm oil after a surgein February imports on theback of a tax change by In-donesia to make refinedproduct more attractivethan crude.

New Delhi could raisethe import tax from the cur-rent 7.5 percent or could in-crease the base price usedto calculate the import tax.

The tax-free export policyon rice and wheat is likelyto continue as stocks re-main high and suppliesstrong. No major tax breakis expected for sugar as pro-duction exceeds demand,making the world's topconsumer a net exporter in2011/12.

On pulses, no change islikely to the current zeroimport duty, as India con-tinues to need extra sup-plies.

FARMS

The budget usually con-tains some measures for in-vestment in the farm sector,which contributes around14 percent to overall grossdomestic product (GDP)and employs more thanhalf the country's workforce. The sector is set togrow at 2.5 percent in2011/12, marginally lowerthan earlier projections, ac-cording to a finance min-istry report published onThursday.

This year there could alsobe moves to raise rice andpulses output in non-tradi-tional regions such as thenorth east.

IRON ORE,COAL, STEEL

Iron ore export duties arelikely to stay at 30 percentdespite calls from minersfor them to be cut, as thegovernment tries to encour-age retention of supplies ofthe steel-making raw mate-rial for domestic use.

The steel industry hascalled for coal imports to beexempt from customs duty.The state-run mining mo-nopoly, Coal India, could begiven some incentives toboost production.

FERTILISERS

The government is likely toraise prices of nitrogenousurea -- possibly by morethan 10 percent -- as it triesto cut subsidies for thewidely-used fertiliser,whose production costshave been hit by highfreight rates and gas prices.

The government mayalso modify subsidies to ex-isting urea producers. Indiaon March 1 trimmed thesubsidy for potash andphosphatic fertilisers fornext financial year. Reuters

NEW DELHI: Terming theeconomic performance inthe current fiscal as "disap-pointing", the government'sEconomic Survey today ex-pressed the confidence thatan upswing is imminentand growth rate would re-bound to 7.6 per cent in2012-13, though challengesto contain inflation wouldremain.

Attributing the decline ineconomic growth, which isprojected to be at three-yearlow of 6.9 per cent in 2011-12, to global and domesticfactors, the Survey, said,"There are signs from somehigh frequency indicatorsthat the weakness in eco-nomic activity has bot-tomed out and a gradualupswing is imminent".

The economic growth inthe current fiscal is expectedto slip to 6.9 per cent from8.4 per cent in the previoustwo years. India was grow-ing at over nine per cent be-fore the global financialcrisis pulled down thegrowth to 6.7 per cent in2008-09.

On future prospects, theSurvey, an official account

of the performance of theeconomy, said, "The growthrate of real GDP (is ex-pected) to pick up to 7.6 percent (plus or minus 0.25 percent) in 2012-13 and fasterbeyond that." The growthrate will further improve to8.6 per cent in 2013-14.

Referring to the majorchallenges, the Survey said,the government would needto focus on fiscal consolida-tion, inflation managementand reforms of direct and in-direct taxes, besides initiat-ing steps to deal with themenace of corruption.

It further said that likelyeasing of inflationary pres-sure and subsequent reduc-

tion in interest rates wouldfuel economic growth,though cautioned that risingcrude prices in the interna-tional market would con-tinue to put pressure onprices.

The Survey said the slow-down in economic growthshould act as "a wake-upcall" for the governmentand the RBI to address thedomestic issues hamperingrecovery.

Referring to tight mone-tary policy, persistentlyhigh inflation and slowinginvestment and industrialactivity, it said, "there isroom and need to be inno-vative in terms of policy;the slowing of economy is awake-up call in that re-spect".

The Survey said that in-flation would come downto 6.5-7 per cent by Marchend. "Reining in inflationand containing inflationaryexpectations will continueto be important objectivesof monetary policy; theshift to growth objectiveshas started. As inflationeases, it will open up op-portunities to reduce policy

rates," the Survey said.The fiscal deficit, it said,

will narrow to 4.1 per centin 2012-13 fiscal. For thecurrent fiscal, it is widelyexpected that the Budgetprojection of 4.6 per centwill overshoot by one per-centage point.

"Going forward there is aneed to anchor fiscal con-solidation on structural re-forms in expenditure," thesurvey said, adding thatl o w e r - t h a n - e x p e c t e dgrowth in revenue re-ceipts, slowdown in indus-try, rising costs andadditional expenditure onaccount of stickiness inhigh global commodityprices, brought about slip-pages in the governmentfinances.

The Survey also said thatindustrial growth is likelyto rebound next fiscal onmoderation in inflation andeasing global commodityprices and declining inter-est rates.

It projected the economicgrowth to rebound to 8.6per cent in 20131-14 fiscal,however, the Chief Eco-

nomic Advisor to the Fi-nance Minister KaushikBasu said, "there could beone more year of slowdownin investment and savings."

Currently investmentand savings rate stands at35.1 per cent and 32.3 percent respectively. Threeyear ago investment ratewas over 38 per cent, whilethe savings was more than36 per cent. PTI

MUMBAI: With inflationremaining high, the Re-serve Bank today kept theinterest rate unchanged fornow, but made a promisethat cost of borrowing willcome down in future.

Amidst expectations of apause in tight monetarypolicy, RBI Governor DSubbarao gave a firm signalthat no further hardeningof interest rates is required.

However, the timing andthe quantum of rate cutswill be determined by infla-tion, he said unveiling themid-quarterly review of thecredit policy, a day beforethe Union Budget.

The benchmark policy in-terest rate (repo rate) atwhich RBI lends to bankshas been kept unchanged at8.5 per cent. The cash re-serve ratio, the portion ofdeposits banks need to

keep with RBI, has been re-tained at 4.75 per cent. Butthis rate was reduced onlyon March 10 by 0.75 per-centage points to infuse Rs48,000 crore in the systemto ease liquidity.

"Notwithstanding the de-celeration in growth, infla-tion risks remain, whichwill influence both the tim-ing and magnitude of fu-ture rate actions," Subbaraosaid, adding that sup-pressed prices of fuel, fer-tiliser and power pose risk

to inflation in the economy.The RBI said the upside

risks to inflation have in-creased from the recentsurge in crude oil prices,fiscal slippages in govern-ment finances and rupee'sappreciation.

Inflation rose to 6.95 percent in February which ismuch above the ReserveBank's comfort level of 5-6per cent.

RBI said while there is aslowdown in economy, theGDP growth in the lastquarter of the current finan-cial year is expected to bebetter than the previousthree-month period.

The RBI policy, alongwith political uncertainty,dampened investor senti-ment with BSE bench-mark Sensex plungingover 240 points at mid-day. PTI

MIRPUR: The time hascome for Sachin Tendulkarto end the long and agonis-ing wait for that elusive100th international century.For over a year, in his last33 innings, the MasterBlaster has kept India wait-ing for that rare milestone.

However, Friday's tieagainst Bangladesh presentsa great opportunity to set therecord right. Tendulkar en-joys a quality record againstthe minnows and with theBangaldesh attack set to pose

little threat to the Indian leg-end, one hopes that hewould rise to his best chance.

Captain MS Dhoni re-posed his confidence in Ten-dulkar ahead of the last tieagainst Sri Lanka on Tues-day. "These are small things,not a worry. He is an assetto the team," Dhoni hadsaid dismissing Tendulkar'simpending 100th centurymilestone has a cause ofconcern for the men in blueat the start of the Asia Cup.

However, the master's

dismissal cheaply againstLankans has done little toadd to the skipper's confi-dence. Having missed yetanother opportunity, Ten-dulkar has been visibly onthe edge. It was no surpriseto see him practise hard atMirpur on Wednesday.Seen going all out at the op-tional nets, he did look des-perate to cash in on theopportunity againstBangladesh.

Tendulkar's 100th centuryis now almost the longest

wait for him. The hunt for hiselusive ton is now just oneinnings short of the longestever wait between two inter-national centuries from Ten-dulkar's prized willow.

The Indian camp thoughinsists there was no addedpressure on Tendulkarahead of the Bangladesh tie.Answering a question aboutpressure on Tendulkar toscore big on Friday, bowlerVinay Kumar said on Thurs-day, "I don't think so." Agen-cies

Philander finished with figures of fourfor 70 and Steyn took three for 49, as skip-per Graeme Smith's decision to send NewZealand in to bat on a green-tinged wicketin Hamilton paid off spectacularly.
