Paris, Nov 15 (AFP): French police have identified the first of seven gunmen who killed at least 129 people in a wave of car- nage claimed by the Islamic State group, as international investiga- tors stepped up their probes into Paris’s worst ever attacks. French authorities yesterday named the first attacker as 29-year- old Omar Ismail Mostefai, who was identified from a severed finger found at Bataclan concert hall, scene of the worst of the bloodshed. IS jihadists said they were behind the gun and suicide attacks that left a trail of destruction at a sold-out concert hall, at restaurants and bars, and outside France’s Stade de France national stadium. President Francois Hollande called the coordinated assault on Friday night an act of war as the capital’s normally bustling streets fell eerily quiet, 10 months after at- tacks on magazine Charlie Hebdo shocked the nation. Meanwhile, the investigation wid- ened across Europe, with Belgian police arresting several suspects Paris carnage: First attacker identified q Alert sounded across Europe q More arrests in Belgium and Germany and German authorities probing a possible link to a man recently found with a car of explosives. The discovery of a Syrian passport near the body of one attacker has raised suspicions some of the as- sailants might have entered Europe as part of an influx of people fleeing Syria’s civil war. We confirm that the (Syrian) passport holder came through the Greek island of Leros on 3 October, where he was registered under EU rules,’ said the Greek minister for citizen protection, Nikos Toskas. The attacks sent shockwaves around the world, with London’s Tower Bridge, Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and the World Trade Center in New York among the many land- marks lit up in the red, white and blue of the French national flag in a show of solidarity. US President Barack Obama de- scribed the onslaught as an attack on all of humanity and an emotional Pope Francis said he was shaken by the inhuman attacks. British Prime Minister David Cam- eron said the attacks suggest a new degree of planning and coordination and a greater ambition for mass casualty attacks. The attacks, which killed 129 people and wounded 352, including 99 critically, were the first ever suicide bombings on French soil. Unlike those in January, none of the assailants had ever been jailed for terror offences. The arrests -- local media said three people were detained -- were in connection with a vehicle found near the Bataclan concert hall, they said. In Germany, the authorities said they were looking into a possible link between the attacks and the arrest in Bavaria last week of a man with a car-load of weapons and explosives. The Paris attacks were prepared, organised and planned overseas, with help from inside (France), Hol- lande said. WHO IS HE? Mostefai, born in the poor Paris suburb of Courcouronnes as one of four brothers and two sisters, had eight convictions for petty crimes but had never been imprisoned. Prints found on a finger in the Bataclan matched those in police files. Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said he had came to the authorities’ attention in 2010 as having been radicalised but had never been implicated in a terrorist network or plot. It’s a crazy thing, it’s madness, his brother told AFP, his voice trembling, before he was taken into custody along with his father last night. PROBE ON C hief Minister Jayalalithaa has said relief work con- tinued on a war-footing in districts hit by the heavy rains observing that dam- age due to very heavy rains was inevitable. When such damage occurs, it is the hallmark of a good government to ensure that quick relief and rehabilitation measures are undertaken and in that sense relief work is on in affected districts on a war footing, she said in a statement. A team of senior Ministers and officials were sent to Cuddalore District following heavy rains on 9 and 10 No- vember there. Out of the 683 village panchayats, power supply has been restored in 635 of them in Cuddalore District and drinking water is being supplied, she said.

SHORE FOR SURE

� Cattle menace is a cause for concern on Inner Ring Road

‘Moo’ving story‘Moo’ving story

The Inner Ring Road from Thillai Ganga Nagar to Adambakkam can be consid-ered as one of the best civic projects in

the neighbourhood. The well-laid roads and am-ple spacing are a delight for commuters. How-ever, the issue concerning users is the bovine menace on the roads.

The sight of cows sitting in groups along the turnings or moving freely on the road is a com-mon one for the regulars on this stretch.

‘Since the road facilitates smooth driving, motorists tend to drive rashly and are caught unawares when the animal suddenly turns up in front’, says Rajendran, a reg- u l a r commuter.

Motorists who frequent the area rue that the cattle moves haphazardly in the midst of traffi c, increasing the possibilities of accidents.

It is to be noted that these bovines are found seated at different spots all across the stretch till Thillai Ganga Nagar subway.

The common allegation is that the animals mostly crowd for the posters stuck on the pillars of the under-construction MRTS here.

According to Meera, a resident of Ullagaram, ‘Apart from defacing the neatly-constructed pillars, the posters also invite trouble for com-

muters as cows feast on them, unmindful of the danger posed to others’.

Apart from disrupting free fl ow of traffi c, the cattle also creates a mess

on the roads with their droppings.It is alleged that these animals belong to resi-

dents of nearby areas, who let them loose on the roads, conveniently ignoring their escapades.

Also, the safety of the cows is also under ques-

tion as they face the risk of getting hit by speed-ing vehicles.

‘While a lot of time and effort has gone into the construction of these roads and pillars, equal importance should also be given to their mainte-nance. The authorities should ensure the remov-al of posters on the beams and make the stretch free from animals’, suggests another commuter.

Pole is not wellPole is not well� Electric post at Kottur

needs attention

A rusted and damaged elec-tric pole carrying live wires is posing a danger to resi-

dents of Kottur. The post at Bharathi Avenue First

Street near Kotturpuram railway station is in a precarious position and may fall anytime. ‘The junction box attached to it

also lies in a damaged condition,’ complain residents. ‘Doors of the box are bro-

ken and wires are left in open posing danger to passersby. Now that the rains have started, the chances of getting electrocuted are high. Especially children playing on the road and the dogs walking by face danger,’ said S Ravi, a resident of the area. ‘The situation has been the same

for the past ten months. Despite complaining to the electricity board offi cials, no action has been

taken so far. They promise to come and rectify the error, but af-ter that nobody turns up,’ he said. ‘Offi cials concerned should re-

place damaged poles and provide adequate support to residents im-mediately or it may spell danger for them,’ said Murali, another resident. Before any fatal incidents occur

due to the collapse of the elec-tric post, offi cials have to take up the issue. We have complained sev-

eral times to the authorities to change the damaged pole but no concrete action has been taken so far, pointed another resident. ‘Electric poles are very impor-

tant and such a problem requires meaningful solution. Ignoring these facts will in turn create great barriers in normal life in the local-ity.’ he added.

CHENNAISUNDAY

15 NOVEMBER 2015 3Region

NT Bureau Chennai, Nov 15:

Starting tomorrow, things will be a tad different at the Madras High Court.

As per the new directive, the CISF (Central Industrial Security Force)personnel will be taking charge of guarding the premises, with prepara-tions already underway much before they offi cially take over.

On 14 October, the court had ordered that the ‘inner circle’ of its campuses here and Madurai should be brought under CISF protection as a temporary measure and directed the State and Central governments to jointly formulate a security protocol.

Following this, a total of 650 of their personnel will be deployed.

The premises which houses the Sessions court complex and the High court have been barricaded at strategic points.

Apart from this, a part of the com-pound wall is being demolished and

rebuilt with a gate for the Sessions court.

Hereafter, visitors can take the NSC Bose Road to enter the court campus, and will have to follow the protocol to get passes.

They might also be subjected to a check.

A mock drill was carried out at the spot by the CISF personnel on Saturday morning. Following heavy rains over the last couple of days, a few trees which fell in the premises, were also removed.

While overseeing the fulfl edged rehearsal of the security protocol on the high court campus, CISF south zone inspector-general Vinay Tosh Mishra reporters that advocates and others needed to show only their identity cards to enter demarcated zones in the premises.’Only those with identity cards will be allowed inside demarked areas,’ he said.

Mediapersons had glimpses of the CISF’s operational style. All gates, including the two newly created ones on the MBA side and

Fort Station side were manned by CISF personnel, two each were posted before all the 30-odd court halls and chambers of judges. CISF men in ornamental attire will receive and see off judges using the portico near Manu Needhi Chozhan statue.

It may be recalled that the High Court on 30 October ordered that the CISF security cover should be operational by 16 November.

A meeting on various aspects of providing CISF cover was held here two weeks ago, between CISF Commandant Sriram and the Building and Security Committee comprising of five judges and top police officials.

The judges were Just ices R Sudhakar, K K Sasidharan, M M Sundresh, M Satyanarayanan and N Kirubakaran, while the top police officials included Commis-sioner of Police Rajendran and Additional Commissioner of Police V A Ravikumar.

MP SARAVANANIt took about six million years for

apes to evolve into humans. But, sometimes, or in some situations, man travels back those millions of years.

The fi nest example is travel on a city bus. It starts the minute the conductor blows the whistle and the bus starts to move. Whether it is summer, winter, morn- ing or evening, footboarding happens. School kids, collegemates, office-goers, s o m e t i m e s even a 50-year-plus uncle, chase the bus that stops away from its desig-nated stop.

While uncle immediately pulls himself in, the rest of the passengers run along with the bus like they were going for a jog early in the morning.

After 10 seconds, the ‘runners’ turn into fully grown pri-mates. After another 10 sec-onds, all kinds of words used to describe the growth of young monkey can be used here. Men start to grab men. While one holds the bar near the footboard, another one catches hold of another passenger hanging pre-cariously near the footboard. While one grabs the edge of the entrance, another catches his hip.

Moreover, we can notice at least 30 people standing on the footboard in the front and rear entrance of the bus, while at least eight would be standing on another man’s foot. Apart from these hangers-on, at least six would be hanging from the windows of the bus.

This show repeats every time the bus brakes at a stop. But the worst is yet to come: Bus Day. Bus Day is a nightmare for any bus driver in Chennai, where the bus is taken like a goat for sacrifi ce at the Mariam-man temple festival.

Though footboarding is monkey business, the rush to buy cinema tickets during the weekend would be even wilder. At suburban or rural theatres where no online booking is possible, and if it happens to be the movie of the Superstar, then the entire area near the ticket counter becomes a circus!

The fans swing quickly from one queue to another. If there are para-pet walls, they immediately climb on to it and walk along to jump over to the ticket counter. If there is no such wall, they run towards the crowd,

smashing into the buyers near the counter, pushing their hand towards the counter.

Theatre guards are experts in containing such situations and they come armed with big bamboo sticks. But that does not ‘touch’ the fan as he clutches the ticket in his hand and forgets to cry out ‘Amma… Appa’. Instead, he would gloat over his eureka moment: Kidaichachu kidaichachu, Thalaivaa

T h a -l a i v a a ’

(I’ve got it, I’ve got it, Thalaivaa).Another place

equivalent to this is the temple, particularly

when there is annad-anam or prasadam distribution. Though,

annadanam is incompa-rable to any other charity, at times, the smell of

food reverses the entire evolution for

a few minutes. It starts the m i n u t e the cooks u n l o a d t h e b i g v e s s e l

containing prasadam before the devotees. After that no force in the entire world has the power to stop them.

The whole mela starts with just a push. One pushes another, every-one pushes each other in the queue. One devotee argues with the staff to give more, while another catches hold of the big spoon. While the lit-tle boy runs to his house to bring a plate, the woman runs to her home and returns with a big bucket.

Annadanam has the capacity to fi ght hunger but, at times, the distri-bution itself leads to a war. Once it is over, the temple would look like a mango tree after it is ravage by a troupe of monkeys.

What about Tasmac shops? Old rivals can be greeted with rage if they ‘swing’ into the wrong part of the bar or sit near them. The day before a holiday is completely out of the world. Since there is no queue system, there is a rush for liquor in the fi nal hours. A cocktail of hunger, obsession, ad-diction, desire and love turns them into primates. The ugly fi ghts can’t be described in the worst possible English words. Sometimes, it would be like the climax from Hollywood movie ‘Planet of the Apes’.

Right glad Charles Darwin, who proposed the great theory of evolu-tion, is not here to witness these scenes. He would otherwise have to rewrite it.

Bill to revoke ban on

Jallikattu: BJPCoimbatore, Nov 15 (PTI):

The Centre will introduce a bill in the winter session of Parliament seeking to revoke the ban on Jallikattu (taming the bull) in Tamilnadu, BJP national secretary H Raja said on Saturday.

After going through various repre-sentations from Tamilnadu, Union Environment Minister Prakash Java-dekar was convinced and assured to take efforts to revoke the ban imposed by Supreme Court, Raja told reporters here.

Blaming Tamilnadu government for classifying Jallikattu as a ‘brave sport,’ instead of a cultural and tra-ditional game, Raja said the govern-ment, considering the facts behind this game, will take efforts to remove the ban, hopefully before Tamilnadu Assembly elections, due next year.

Raja, here to launch a mobile app ‘Konga Madu’ by Shakti Engineer-ing College, to protect native cow and bulls, alleged that the previous governments were responsible for the decline in the population of such animals, by promoting foreign breeds like jersey and going for artifi cial in-semination.

To a question on set back for BJP in Bihar elections, he said the party’s vote share either remained in tact or increased compared to Lok Sabha elections, whereas the share of par-ties’ in grand alliance, totally gone down from 46 per cent to 41 per cent.

On cow slaughter, beef and related intolerance, Raja said that barring three States of Kerala, West Bengal and Assam, there was a ban on cow slaughter.

About 100 undergraduate students and faculty from the School of Ar-chitecture and Planning, Anna Uni-versity, Chennai, V-SPARC, (VIT School of Planning and Architec-ture) and several senior architects participated in a day-long workshop on ‘Creative Spatial Fractals’ in Chennai recently.

According to a press release, the highlights of the workshop were the creation of dramatic spatial structures born out of the evolution of some chosen geometric shapes and capa-

ble of inspiring larger installations in public spaces. The creation of the forms in synthetic board material and conversion into larger timber realities painted in vibrant contours evoked much dialogue and enthusiasm.

The objective of the workshop was to bring together students and fac-ulty of two of the largest universities in South India and share thinking processes in the determination of a specifi c design goal.

The architects who participated in the workshop included Pramod Balakrishnan of Edifi ce and Sriram Ganapathi of KSM Consultants.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed on Satur-day said ‘educational backwardness’ of Muslims was the reason for their inability to progress economically and insisted that education was ‘most critical’ for the uplift of the community.

‘There is no doubt that educa-tional backwardness is the main reason why we have not been able to progress economically,’ he said in his address at the inaugural of two-day summit of the United Economic Forum, a trade body here.

The Chief Minister also suggested that the summit should be held in New Delhi next year to take the good deeds done by the forum across the nation and particularly among the minorities.

Speaking on the occasion, Prince of Arcot Nawab Mohammed Abdul Ali said education is the only power-ful instrument that can set a man free. Muslims are the largest minor-ity segment in India and if they are educated, their contribution to the economy would be immense.

He further said Muslims too are an integral part of India who love this country and even wouldn’t hesitate to give up their life for the nation.

Some of the key areas discussed at the summit are Tamilnadu Vision 2023 and Make in India Campaign. Through the summit, UEF aims to drive industrial development, em-ployment creation, increase busi-ness opportunities and encourage entrepreneurship among the minority community in Tamilnadu and in India.

MoUs to the tune of Rs 2439.50

crores were signed at the summit pertaining to power, infrastructure, industrial park, warehousing, logistics and port infrastructure, real estate construction, education, tourism and travels, renewable energy and other segments.

UEF president Ahmed A R Buhari said, ‘Through the trade summit, we are aiming to facilitate Rs 10,000 crores of economic enhancement for our members by 2020 through op-portunities enabled by Make in India, Tamilnadu Vision 2023, supported by Sovereign Wealth Funds, Islamic funding, private equity, government schemes, bank fi nance and others’.

Ambassador of Islamic Republic of Iran, Gholamreza Ansari, former senior Minister of Singapore Zainul Abideen Rasheed were among oth-ers present at the summit.

Blend CHENNAI

MELBOURNE:Your smartphones could soon help you combat a deadly form of air

pollution, thanks to a new low-cost and reliable method of detecting ni-trogen dioxide - a significant air pollutant, scientists say.According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), nitrogen dioxide

(NO2) contributes to more than seven million deaths worldwide each year, researchers said. The gas increases the risk of respiratory dis-orders in children and can severely affect the elderly in particular, they said. The negative impact of nitrogen dioxide could be prevented by ac-cess to personalised, highly selective, sensitive and reliable monitoring systems that could detect harmful levels of the gas early, project leader Professor Kourosh Kalantar-zadeh, from RMIT’s Centre for Advanced Electronics and Sensors (CADES), said. ‘The revolutionary method we’ve developed is a great start to creating

a handheld, low-cost and personalised NO2 sensor that can even be incorporated into smartphones,’ Kalantar-zadeh said.‘Not only would it improve the quality of millions of people’s lives, but it

would also help avoid illness caused by nitrogen dioxide poisoning and potentially even death,’ said Kalantar-zadeh.The main contributors of nitrogen dioxide are

the burning of fossil fu- els, particularly in coal-fired power stations and diesel engines, which can impact the health of people in urban areas.‘A lack of public access to effective monitoring tools is a major road-

block to mitigating the harmful effects of this gas but current sensing systems are either very expensive or have serious difficulty distinguish-ing it from other gases,’ Kalantar-zadeh said.‘The method we have developed is not only more cost-effective, it also

works better than the sensors currently used to detect this dangerous gas,’ said Kalantar-zadeh. Kalantar-zadeh developed the new method for sensing nitrogen dioxide together with fellow RMIT researchers and colleagues from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The sensors, which operate by physically absorbing nitrogen dioxide

gas molecules onto flakes of tin disulphide, not only increase the lev-el of sensitivity to accepted EPA standards, but outperform any other nitrogen dioxide sensing solutions on the market. Tin disulphide is a yellowish-brown pigment generally used in varnish for gilding. To cre-ate sensors, researchers transformed this material into flakes just a few atoms thick. The large surface area of these flakes has a high affinity to nitrogen dioxide molecules that allows its highly selective absorption. The research was published in the journal ACS Nano.

Potassium-rich diet may protect kidney

FLOOD FOR THOUGHT

The worst hit Cuddalore district is limping back to normalcy and even the renowned Lord Nataraja temple in Chidambaram is no exception from fl ooding. A team of senior Ministers and higher offi cials are camping in the district to coordinate relief works.

TOKYO, NOV 14 (PTI):Consuming a diet rich in potassium may help protect the heart and kidney

health of patients with type 2 diabetes, a new study has claimed.Kidney failure and heart disease are common life-threatening complications

of diabetes. Individuals with type 2 diabetes are at increased risk of develop-ing kidney failure and heart disease.To examine whether higher intake sodium and potassium are associated

with these risks, Shin-ichi Araki of Shiga University of Medical Science in Ja-pan and his colleagues studied a group of 623 patients with type 2 diabetes and normal kidney function.Patients were enrolled between 1996 and 2003 and were followed-up until

2013.Higher levels of urinary potassium excretion, which closely correlate with

intake amounts, were linked with a slower decline of kidney function and a lower incidence of cardiovascular complications.Sodium levels were not associated with kidney or heart health during follow-

up. ‘For many individuals with diabetes, the most challenging part of a treat-ment plan is to determine what to eat. The results in our study highlight the importance of a diet high in diabetes nutrition therapy,’ said Araki.The study appears in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Neph-

rology (CJASN).

126 Tamil fishermen released

As many as 126 Indian fishermen, ar-rested on the charge of poaching in Sri Lankan waters, were repatriated by In-dian Coast Guard after being released by the neighbouring island nation govern-ment.Despite inclement weather, the fisher-

men from Tamilnadu were swiftly repatri-ated from two locations on International Maritime Boundary Line onboard two ships and later handed over to state au-thorities, a Coast Guard release said in Chennai. It said the fishermen, detained by Lankan Navy in batches in the recent past, were healthy and all assistance was provided to them.A report from Rameswaram said a total

of 48 fishermen belonging to the island reached the shore around 6 pm and were accorded a warm reception by their family members. The 78 other fishermen hailing from Nagapattinam and Pudukottai dis-trcits were sent in a ship to Karaikal, near Nagapattinam, it said quoting Fisheries department officials.

Security up in ChennaiAfter the bloodbath in Paris where nearly

150 victims were killed by armed assail-ants on Friday night, the city police is on alert to avert any untoward situation. Although no official directive has been

given, police sources said that the vital installations in the city including the Sec-retariat and embassies, are under the scanner. Incidentally, today, the police have

scheduled their weekly routine of ‘storm-ing’ operations, as part of which they raid the hotels, lodges, conduct vehicle checks and carry out preventive arrests of anti-social elements.It may be noted that although there isn’t

any credible or specific alert this time, it is natural for major cities to go into red alert mode following any terror strike globally.For Chennai, as the week had begun

with additional layers of security for the Deepavali celebrations, it is assumed that the protection will be extended for few more days.

HC gets ready forCISF security

The Madras High Court is preparing itself for CISF security cover. Works, including install-ing a new gate and drawing demarcation lines, were on in full swing.The High Court had on 30 October ordered

that CISF security cover for it should be opera-tional by 16 November. A total of 650 of their personnel would be deployed.A meeting on various aspects of provid-

ing CISF cover was held here between CISF Commandant Sriram and Building and Secu-rity Committee, comprising five judges and top police officials.

Veterans should not have gone public: Naidu

As BJP grappled with the dis-sent by four party veterans, Un-ion minister M Venkaiah Naidu suggested that they should have raised their views at a party fo-rum rather than going public. The Union Minister for Parlia-mentary Affairs asserted that the country and party needed Narendra Modi’s leadership but

said the BJP ‘will take note of these views and con-cerns.’ Senior BJP leaders-- Lal Krishna Advani, Murli Mano-

har Joshi, Shanta Kumar and Yashwant Sinha-- have attacked Modi and BJP president Amit Shah after drubbing of the party in Bihar polls. In a statement, the party veterans said the party has been ‘emasculated’ in the last one year and was being ‘forced to kowtow to a handful’. Naidu said,’Some of our senior leaders have raised certain issues. It would have been bet-ter if these issues were raised in a party forum rather than public, but still we will take note of these views and concerns.’ ‘We will discuss with all the concerned. The Parliamentary board has already decided to take up with all the concerned and discuss the shortcom-ings that led to the defeat in Bihar.

Shatrughan speaks out BJP MP Shatrughan Sinha said he had never sug-

gested that Bihar Assembly poll results could have been different had he been declared the Chief Minis-terial candidate.He, however, said that things could have been better

if he had campaigned in the elections. ‘Media tried to create an impression that I had suggested that results cud’ve been different if I was CM candidate,’ Sinha tweeted. BJP lost badly in the recent Assembly elec-tions in Bihar and there are murmurs of dissent over the way campaigning was done in the state. Sinha was not involved in the campaigning. Denying that he has claimed chief ministership, Sin-

ha said ‘I have never said this. had no such expecta-tions (of being made CM candidate). Have only said - if I was called for campaigning, things could have been better.’

As prices rise, industry on tenterhooks

Rising prices for some food and firm demand during the festival season probably pushed up India’s retail inflation in October for the third straight month, making it less likely the central bank will cut interest rates at its policy review next month.Retail inflation in India has slowed sharply, but a surge in prices of items

like lentils threaten the popularity of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.Higher demand for consumer durables and food items during the festival

season beginning in October also contributed to inflation.

ECB, Fed ready for market jolts

The world’s top two central banks accept they will face periodic market jolts as they move in opposite policy directions, senior of-ficials say, with such risks inevitable given the hugely differing fortunes of the US and Euro-pean economies.The European Central Bank and U.S. Fed-

eral Reserve - which appear poised respec-tively to ease and tighten monetary policy - talk to each other regularly but do not coordinate policy or try to guess what the other may do next, the central bankers say.

Quake in Japan triggers tsunami

A 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Kyushu in southwestern Japan on Saturday, trigger-ing a minor tsunami in the southern part of Kagoshima prefecture, Xinhua reported. The strong earthquake jolted about 160 km southwest of Makurazaki, Ka-goshima, at 5.51 am local time (20.51 GMT on Friday) at a depth of about 10 km, according to the Japan Me-teorological Agency (JMA).A 30-cm tsunami was observed on the Nakanoshima

Island about an hour after the quake. A tsunami warn-ing issued after the quake was lifted. The Nuclear Reg-ulation Authority said no abnormalities were detected at the Sendai nuclear power plant in Satsumasendai, Kagoshima. The earthquake was reported as 6.7 on the Richter scale by the US Geological Survey.

‘OGQ backing govt’s support to athletes’

‘The Central government is spending a lot of money on the athletes. But I think there is a gap between what the athletes need and what is delivered to them,’ said former world billiards champion Geet Sethi, who is director of Olympic Gold Quest (OGQ). Presenting the OGQ athletes - shooter Gagan Narang and archer Deepika Kumari - to the media here yesterday in an effort to spread its message and to make the world know that the Indian athletes were prepared and raring to go at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, Sethi said, ‘We do not ask government for money.

Djokovic bags top ATP award

Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and the Bry-an brothers are the winners of the ATP’s top awards for 2015.Djokovic, who won three Grand Slam titles

this year, will receive the ATP World Tour No. 1 award for the second straight year and fourth time overall. He has been ranked No. 1 since 7 July, 2014.Federer has been selected by his peers as winner of the Stefan Edberg

Sportsmanship Award for the 11th time. He also gets the fans’ favourite award for a 13th straight year.

PARIS CORNERED

An otherwise cool Friday night in Paris turned into a bloodbath when terrorists executed a series of attacks in different spots in the city. More than 150 people were killed and over 200 were injured in the attacks, in the worst such violence in France’s history. The as-sailants struck at least six very different venues, rang-ing from the national sports stadium to a pizzeria. The overall toll was expected to rise.

Higher levels of urinary potassium excretion, which closely correlate with

intake amounts, were linked with a slower decline of kidney function and a lower

incidence of cardiovascular complications.

New Delhi, Nov 15 (PTI): After pulses, rice prices may also

shoot up and reach a ‘boiling point’ in the coming months due to deplet-ing stocks and likely fall in its kharif output, according to industry body Assocham.

The report, however, contradicts the current price trend in the market, where wholesale prices of non-basmati prices are ruling down at Rs 25 per kg as against Rs 30 per kg last year.

Similarly, wholesale rates of pre-mium basmati rice have declined sharply by about 30 per cent to Rs 44-45 per kg at present from Rs 62-65 per kg last season, as per traders.

Whereas industry body Assocham in its study said after pulses, onion and mustard oil, rice prices may trouble consumers if timely adequate safeguards are not taken.

‘...prices of rice may shoot up and reach a boiling point in the coming months as the stock of the key sta-ple cereal is depleting fast owing to

defi cient rains and fall in output,’ the study said.

As per the government estimates, kharif rice production is estimated at 90.61 million tonnes in 2015-16 crop year.

‘...this is unlikely to be achieved due to severe defi cit rains in Pun-

jab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra and Karnataka and the best that could be achieved is 89 mil-lion tonnes,’ it said adding that overall rice output may be around 103 million tonnes during 2015-16.

That apart, the study said rice stocks have declined in last three

years from 24.59 million tonnes in 2012 to 13.89 million tonnes (plus unlimited paddy 3.61 tonnes) in stocks at present.

‘Increasing export outgo on ac-count of PDS (Public Distribution System) and other welfare schemes will continue to weigh on availability in the open market. Unless govern-ment is able to handle the situation prudently, depleting stocks will soon refl ect on the open market prices,’ adds the study.

New Delhi, Nov 15 (PTI):Tata Steel has received green clear-

ance for mining of mineral sand, used in coal production, from the riverbed of Gowai in Purulia District, West Bengal with a proposed production capacity of 0.2 million tonnes per annum.

The company said it requires three million tonnes (MT) of sand annually for its coal production of 1.91 MT from fi ve coal mines in Jharia coalfi elds. The sand dunes of Gowai river will significantly meet its requirement for stowing and stabilisation of the mines.

‘The Environment Ministry has given environment clearance to the Tata Steel’s proposal for mining of mineral sand with proposed produc-tion capacity of 0.2 million tonnes per annum in the mine lease area of 44.10 hectare in Purulia district, West Bengal,’ a senior offi cial said.

The clearance is subject to certain conditions, including compliance of the latest guidelines on sustainable sand mining practices, he said.

The capital cost of the project is Rs 20 lakh.

Among some conditions, Tata Steel has been asked to carry out excava-tion of up to a maximum depth of 3 meters from the surface of mineral deposit and not less than one meter from water level of the river channel whichever is reached earlier.

The company will not be allowed to transport sand by road passing through villages and has been asked to construct a ‘bypass’ road so that the impact of sound, dust and ac-cidents could be mitigated.

Tata Steel will bear the cost towards widening and strengthening of exist-ing public road network in case the

same is proposed to be used for the project.

In the proposal, the company has said that sands to be collected from the lease area of 44.10 hectare along the river will be sent to the underground coal mines for fi lling up the voids created due to extraction of coal.

About 830 tonnes per day of sand will be transported through the road to a distance of 20 km. The mining activity will be confi ned to the sand dunes, deposits only above the water level. There will be no activity in the water body.

Tata Steel, set up in 1907, has steel plant at Jamshedpur, Jharkhand. In order to compensate the requirement of raw coal for steel making, the com-pany operates number of mines and collieries in the state of Jharkhand and Odisha.

The Jharia Group of Collieries, which is in operation from 1910, partially meets the requirement of coking coal for Tata Steel Jamshed-pur Works.

Swachh cess: Phone, hotel bills go up

New Delhi, Nov 15 (PTI)Government imposing 0.5 per cent Swachh Bharat cess

on taxable services, phone bills and other service is set to become costlier from today.

With the imposition of the cess, service tax rate will go up from 14 per cent to 14.5 per cent on all taxable services. Swachh Bharat cess which is expected to yield about Rs 3,800 crore to the exchequer in the remaining months of the fi scal. According to Revenue Secretary Hasmukh Adhia, the Government expects to collect around Rs 10,000 crore from Swachh Barat cess for full year. So in the remaining months of this fi scal till 31 March, 2016, the cess would yield about Rs 3,800 crore to the kitty. The Swachh Bharat cess would be levied only on the portion of taxable services (after abatement) and will go towards funding of the cleanliness drive, a pet project of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

This means that service tax on restaurant bills will go up from 5.6 per cent to 5.8 per cent following the levy of 0.5 per cent Swachh Bharat cess.

The Finance Ministry has also clarifi ed that the Swachh Bharat cess will not apply on those services for which payments have been received prior to 15 November and invoices raised before 29 November.

The decision to impose 0.5 per cent cess will translate into a tax of 50 paise only on every Rs 100 worth of taxable services. Explaining the provisions for the levy of cess, the Ministry said it would be calculated on the abated value or value arrived as per the Service Tax (Determination of Value) Rules, 2006.

For restaurants or eating joints having air-conditioning facility, the cess would be 0.5 per cent of 40 per cent of the billed amount i.e 0.2 per cent.

F1’s tribute to Paris victims

Sao Paulo, Nov 15 (AFP): Formula One will honour the victims

of the Paris attacks with drivers at the Brazilian Grand Prix wearing black armbands and taking part in a pre- planned minute’s silence for road traffi c victims.

The action, announced by the sport’s ruling body, the International Motoring Federation (FIA) in a state-ment late Saturday, came after its president Frenchman Jean Todt had previously made extraordinary comments suggesting a dismissive attitude towards the terror attacks. Speaking to French television station Canal+, Todt said: ‘Do you realise the number of people killed in road

Prague, Nov 15:Maria Sharapova won her fi rst ever

meeting with Karolina Pliskova 6-3, 6-4 to hit back for Russia in the Fed Cup final against holders Czech Republic in Prague on Saturday.

World number six Petra Kvitova earlier came back from a set down to beat 28th-ranked Anastasia Pav-lyuchenkova on the hardcourt of the sold-out O2 Arena 2-6, 6-1, 6-1 as the champions took a 1-0 lead.

Big hitters Sharapova, the world number four, and 11th-ranked Pliskova traded breaks halfway through the fi rst set but the Rus-sian, playing only her fi fth Fed Cup tie, added another in game eight to outpower her rival.

The 23-year-old Pliskova broke Sharapova early in the second set, but Sharapova, 28, broke back twice to win the set as Pliskova squandered three break points in game eight.

‘I was nervous throughout the whole match and made some errors at inappropriate times but overall I’m just really happy that I could win,’ said Sharapova, a fi ve-time Grand Slam winner.

‘I didn’t serve my best and that’s something that I’ll defi nitely need to improve for tomorrow,’ added Sharapova, who collected nine double faults in the rubber.

Pliskova blamed her loss on a poor fi rst serve.

‘She goes after the second im-mediately and creates pressure and then it’s terribly hard,’ she said.

‘I could have played better, I had my chances.’

The first rubber got underway following a minute’s silence for the victims of Friday’s Paris terror at-tacks. Kvitova got off to a stumbling start, piling up unforced errors and serving poorly.

Pavlyuchenkova broke twice to take the fi rst set in just 34 minutes.

‘I was very nervous from the start, in fact throughout the fi rst set,’ said Kvitova.

‘My hands didn’t fl y (as) I wanted, my legs were very heavy and I couldn’t really move well.’

But the fi rst-set fl op turned out a perfect wake-up call for the 25-year-old Czech who converted her sixth break point in game two of the second set and powered past her helpless rival for a 6-1 win.

‘I was trying to hold my serve in the second set and then I had an op-portunity to break her,’ said Kvitova.

‘I think that game was key for the second set and maybe for the match.’

Pavlyuchenkova agreed that game was crucial and insisted she ‘was a bit unlucky’ to lose it.

‘She started to feel more confi dent, she played much better, more ag-gressive, she broke my rhythm and I couldn’t fi nd my game again,’ said the Russian, who is now 2-7 head-to-head with Kvitova.

Kvitova, the 2011 and 2014 Wimble-don champion, retained her pace in the decider, sweeping the 24-year-old Pavlyuchenkova 6-1 again.

Moscow, Nov 15:Russia’s Olympic committee said

on Saturday it would spearhead a clean-up programme in Russian athletics to ensure a doping scandal does not prevent honest sportsmen and women from competing for the country at the 2016 Olympics.

The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) voted overwhelmingly on Friday to suspend the Russian Athletics Federation (ARAF) for widespread and state-sponsored doping.

The allegations, made by a special commission of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), have caused Rus-sia’s biggest sporting scandal in several decades and could cost the country its place at next year’s Olym-pic Games in Rio.

‘The Russian Olympic Committee is fi rmly convinced that honest ath-letes must participate in the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro,’ committee head Alexander Zhukov said in an online statement.

‘At the same time, everyone who was involved in the use of illicit drugs and contributed to it, should take full responsibility.’

The Russian Sports Ministry said elections to replace the ARAF lead-ership would be held in the next three months. Acting head Vadim Zelichenok was quick to announce he would not be standing, having earlier said he was prepared to step down to help Russian athletics recover from the doping scandal.

The Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) said it would work with the IAAF and WADA to address problems at the ARAF and Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) but did not give a timeframe for its reforms.

International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach said he was sure clean Russian athletes would compete at the 2016 Games.

‘We are confi dent that the initiatives being proposed ... will ensure compli-ance as soon as possible,’ he said in a statement.

National pride Russia is a superpower in world

athletics and fi nished second be-hind the United States in the track and fi eld medal count at the 2012 Olympics in London.

Russian pole-vaulter Yelena Isin-

bayeva, who called on Friday for the IAAF not to punish honest athletes over the doping scandal, is the cur-rent world record holder as well as a two-time Olympic gold medallist and three-time World Champion.

Soviet gymnasts Larisa Latynina and Nikolai Andrianov hold second and third places respectively on the list of all-time Olympic medal winners.

President Vladimir Putin has used sporting successes to promote his image of Russia as a resurgent global power, portraying its hosting of the winter Olympics in Sochi in 2014 as a symbol of a newly confi -dent nation.

With national pride at stake, some Russian officials have looked to play down the IAAF suspension, suggesting it would be quickly re-solved and hinting that Russia might appeal against the ban at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne.

‘It is a predictable and understand-able decision,’ Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko told R-Sport of the IAAF decision. ‘We need to understand what they want and where they see threats.

Russia vows to clean up athletics

Olympic Association to work with IAAF on doping issues

NT BureauChennai, Nov 15:

V Chennai Warriors is all set to put the city on the Champions Tennis League map in the second season starting next week.

The franchise co-owned by Vel’s University founder-chancellor Ishari K Ganesh and film actor Prabhu Deva will play its matches on 25 and 26 November against Hyderbad and Nagpur respectively at the SDAT tennis stadium here. Fernando Verdasco, Heather Watson, Vishnu Vardhan and Rainer Schuttler will be its players.

CTL chairman and former Davis Cupper Vijay Amritraj said at the launch of V Chennai Warriors yes-terday, ‘I am glad to have the home of tennis in India on the CTL map.’

Bengaluru, Pune and Delhi have dropped out for the second season and will be replaced by Chennai, Raipur and Nagpur but Amritaraj said it was not a concern for him.

He also there were enough cities that had shown interest in being a part of the league and the challenge was to find the

right one which could do justice to the event.

‘We knew there will be speed-breakers and hiccups and we

knew some teams were going to pull out but we hope to learn les-sons from the fi rst season.’

Amritaraj said the biggest chal-lenge is the schedule with the ATP and WTA calendar running till November. ‘The World Tour Final gets over by 22 November and we can start only after that. We have even increased from 10 days to 14 days for this year.’

With the Olympics next year, the former Indian tennis player said the players should be left to decide who they want to pair up with to avoid the confusion that happened last time around during the London 2012 games.

Amritaraj said, ‘In doubles I don’t think you have lot of choice with only Leander Paes and Rohan Boppanna but for mixed doubles, it should be left to Sania Mirza who she wants to pair up with as she is high on confi dence.’

Bengaluru, Nov 15 (PTI): The red SG Test cricket balls, which

are used for international and fi rst-class matches in India, have again come under the scanner after premier spinner Ravichandran Ashwin openly expressed his preference for the Kookaburra balls.

On the opening day of the second cricket Test, the South African fi rst innings saw two ball changes in the 7th and 35th over respectively as the

SG Test ball went out of shape. Bothumpires Richard Kettleborough and

Ian Gould decided to change the balls when they were shown to them by the Indian players.

Similarly, when India batted, there was a ball change after the end of 15th over as it again went out of shape.

With the ball changed three times, the quality of the red cherry produced by the Indian manufacturers has

come under scrutiny.When Ashwin was asked about the

same, he was cautious but expressed his views on the matter.

‘I don’t want to pick on a brand and get into trouble. I think the same ball (SG Test) that I bowled in fi rst-class cricket fi ve-six years ago, is not the same (anymore). There is defi nitely a change as lot of balls are going out of shape. The arm ball is especially for a spinner, (and it) is not sitting high (not gripping and bouncing) at all. At this point of time, I seemed to be enjoying the Kookaburra a lot more,’ Ashwin said at the end of fi rst day’s play.

Ashwin said there wasn’t ‘enough turn on offer’ at the Chinnaswami Sta-dium where the South Africans were all out for 214 in the second Test.

Ashwin praised his colleague Ravin-dra Jadeja’s efforts during the post-lunch session.

‘I don’t think there was enough on offer for the spinners as we were not beating the bat as often as we have done in Mohali.

Ashwin unhappy with SG balls

Pretoria, Nov 15: South Africa’s ‘Blade Runner’

Oscar Pistorius on Saturday start-ed performing community service as part of his parole conditions after being released from prison last month, local media reported.

The Paralympic gold medallist was freed on parole less than a year into a fi ve-year sentence for the ‘culpable homicide’ of his girl-friend Reeva Steenkamp, who he killed on Valentine’s Day in 2013.

State prosecutors have ap-

pealed the High Court’s decision to sentence Pistorius for a lesser offence, calling on the Supreme

Court to convict him of murder and send him back to jail. Murder has a minimum 15-year sentence.

A video on a local news site, News24, showed Pistorius - in his fi rst public appearance since his release - arriving at the Gars-fontein police station in Pretoria and walking past reporters and photographers who were waiting outside the station.

He didn’t respond to a question from one of the reporters asking how he was doing.

Pistorius begins community service

accidents is by far bigger than the number of people who died in Paris?’

He later told reporters that the FIA had ‘already planned to do something tomorrow at the occasion of the day of celebrations for road victims.

‘Every day on our streets, 3,500 people die. Every day there are 30 times more people who die than in the Paris assassinations.

Lee scores rarewin over Lin Dan

Singapore, Nov 15:Former badminton world number

one Lee Chong Wei picked up a fi rst win over great rival Lin Dan in three years after edging the double Olympic champion in the China Open semi-fi nals on Saturday.

The 33-year-old Malaysian pre-vailed 17-21 21-19 21-19 to record his fi rst win over China’s Lin since the 2012 Korea Open and set up a Sunday fi nal against world number one Chen Long.

Nearly-man Lee’s fi rst win over the fi ve-times world champion in China improved his head-to-head record against Lin to 10-25.

Singhal was admitted to Medanta in Gurgaon after he complained of breathless-ness.

Meanwhile, Home Minister Rajnath Singh said that he will

be meeting Singhal today.He was kept on life support in the Intensive Care Unit,

a doctor at the hospital told IANS on the condition of anonymity.

Singhal was also referred to this hospital around a fortnight back, but he was discharged after he showed signs of improvement. He was again brought back as his condition deteriorated.

Sources told IANS that Singhal has been suffering from heart and breathing problems.

New Delhi, Nov 15 (PTI): With the imposition of the Swachh Bharat cess on

all services from today, getting a new Permanent Ac-count Number (PAN) card for income tax purposes has become costlier by a rupee to Rs 107.

The new cess was announced last week by the gov-ernment and it will levy a surcharge of 0.5 per cent on all taxable services from 15 November.

Under revised charges, a PAN card, issued by the Income Tax department to an individual or entity to keep a track on all their fi nancial activities, within the country will now be costing Rs 107 instead of Rs 106.

Similarly, getting a new PAN shipped outside India will cost an individual or entity a total of Rs 989, four rupees more than the existing price of Rs 985. ‘The provisions of Swachh Bharat cess (SBC) @ 0.5 per cent under the Finance Act, 2015 are effective from 15 November, 2015. Accordingly, service tax rate (for PAN) is increased from 14 per cent to 14.50 per cent,’ an offi cial notifi cation issued in this regard said.

The PAN charges were revised by Rs 1 earlier this year in June when service tax charges were enhanced by the government. PAN is a 10-digit unique alpha-numeric number allotted by the I-T department to taxpayers and it has authorised two domestic organisa-tions-- UTIITSL and NSDL-- to issue them on its behalf. It is issued to an individual or entity in the form of a laminated plastic card.

The government has been wanting to deepen the PAN reach in order to add more taxpayers to the I-T net and ensure better taxpayer services.

Under the new rates for a PAN card to be obtained in India, government will charge Rs 93 as the processing fee and the new service tax levied on it will be Rs 14 which makes the new cost of Rs 107.

In case of the PAN card to be sent abroad, the govern-ment will charge Rs 93 as processing fee, Rs 125 as service tax and Rs 771 as the courier charges, bringing the overall cost at Re 989.

NT BureauChennai, Nov 15:

Former world chess champion Vishy Anand heaped praise on the services rendered by SRM Institute of Medical Sciences (SIMS), Vadapalani here on the occasion of its fi rst anniversary.

Participating in the anniversary celebrations as chief guest, Anand inaugurated two new facilities at the hospital including those for hand injury and sports medicine. Anand lauded the SIMS team for its rapid

growth, and recounted his own jour-ney in the world of chess from a keen six-year old to a Grand Master.

‘Consequences should be predicted before making a move which applies in both the professions,’ he said.

About the lessons his journey in chess taught him in life, Anand said. ‘Working hard is easy if there is a goal ahead. Hard work will also have a fruitful result though it gets delayed sometimes. One should always have self-belief.

He also gave away prizes to the staff

of the hospital for their dedication. Students who won the inter-school

chess competition sponsored by the hospital were awarded too.

SRM group chairman and SIMS hos-pital founder Ravi Pachamoothoo said hard work compounded with creativity and modern technology brought the best results for the hospital which performed many complicated surgeies including organ replacement and Oncoplastic microvascular reconstruction etc.

SRM Group chancellor Paariv-

endhar and president of the group Sathyanarayana were among those who spoke.

SIMS hospital at Vadapalani in the heart of Chennai is a 2.30 lakh square feet facility with 345 beds offering treatment across 22 specialities and has eight specialised ICUs.

It was created to support the SRM group’s hospital on the outskirts of Chennai and to meet the keen de-mand for modern facilities in the city, said Ravi Pachamoothoo.

New Delhi, Nov 15 (PTI): Travel in railways’ upper

class categories has be-come costlier as a service tax levy of 14 per cent and a Swachh Bharat cess of 0.5 per cent became ef-fective from today.

According to a Rail Min-istry circular, the levies make for a 4.35 per cent hike for travel in First Class and all AC Classes from 15 November.

The decision to increase passenger fares is in line with a government noti-fication on November 6 for imposing a Swachh Bharat cess on all taxable services. ‘Service tax of 14 per cent and Swachh Bharat cess of 0.5 per cent are chargeable on 30 per cent of total pas-senger fare

equivalent to 4.35 per cent of the total fare on f i rst c lass and al l AC

fares,’ the circular said.However, the service tax

will not be applicable for tickets issued before 15 November. Neither would the levy be applicable for general and sleeper-class travel. Wi th the h ike, AC-I fares on mail and express trains from

New Delhi to Mumbai are up by Rs 206 while the rise is of Rs 102 for AC-III fares from New Delhi to Howrah. On the Delhi-Chennai route, the increased fare works out to about Rs 140 for the AC-II segment.

According to an estimate, the service tax levy and the Swachh Bharat cess are expected to fetch about Rs 1,000 crore in a year.

Annual earnings for rail-ways from the passenger segment are estimated to be at about Rs 35,000 crore.

Upper class traintravel costlier now
