Army recruitment rally normallydraw big crowds, but officials associat-ed with the whole process failed miser-ably to assess the number of prospec-tive job seekers. Army officials expect-ed that 5-10 thousand candidateswould turn up. But nearly 25,000 can-didates from the nearby districts pre-sented themselves at the local MelaGround. There was no arrangement tocater to such a large number and in hastethe rally was cancelled at the last minute.

This annoyed the candidates who start-ed protesting. According to sources, someonespread the rumour that one candidate hasdied and this resulted in stampede as candi-dates started running in all directions.Enraged job aspirants went on a rampage,Inspector General Adarsh Katiyar toldmedia. With little police force to man themob and no barricading at all to control theinflow of candidates, trouble started when agroup of aspirants pushed others in front ofthem to get first chance for the mandatoryrun in the first qualifying round. Whenaspirants continued to create ruckus, armyauthorities announced change in schedule ofrally. Then a few police constables used mildforce canes to put aspirants in order. Theresult was a stampede and, as aspirantsretreated, some among them started peltingstones. Additional force was also deployed

for the occasion arrived at the scene andstarted cane-charging trouble-makers. Thecandidates ran amok and, while shoutingslogans, resorted to heavy brick-batting.

"As per initial information candidateswent on rampage after a change in theschedule of rally. No casualties have beenreported so far," said Sarabjeet Singh, chiefof the state intelligence wing. Some candi-dates torched vehicles and damaged proper-ty. Police had to cane-charge the candidatesand lob tear gas shells to disperse the candi-dates. Some candidates were injured.

According to PTI, six persons sufferedinjuries in the stampede, and were later dis-charged after being provided medical treat-ment. This also created law and order situ-ation as many candidates ventured out inthe local areas and started created prob-lems. Finally, arrangements were made tosend the candidates back to their respectiveplaces. Meanwhile, Gwalior SSP SantoshKumar Singh said a report on the incidenthas already been sent to police head-quarters at Bhopal. "We have asked SPs invarious districts under Gwalior, Chambal

and Sagar divisionsto take appropriateaction against miscre-ants being identified onthe basis of photographsand video footage avail-able with us here in

He was speaking atthe valedictory function of the6th World Ayurveda Congress.The Prime Minister said thatYoga had acquired global recog-nition for people who wanted astress-free life and were movingtowards holistic healthcare.Similarly, if Ayurveda is present-ed in the right spirit as a way oflife, it too can acquire accept-ance. The Prime Minister said itis essential for Ayurveda toreach people in a simple, effec-tive way. For this, the modes oftreatment should also be betterpackaged. Narendra Modi saidspace has to be created in inter-national medical and sciencepublications, for articles onAyurveda. But the effort for thishas to come from the practition-ers and researchers of Ayurveda,he added.

The Prime Minister, Narendra Modi recently said the biggest challenge toAyurveda comes from people who have dedicated their life to it. They too do

not trust it fully, he said. Seeking to dispel the notion of Ayurveda andAllopathy being competing streams of medical science, the Prime Minister

described Ayurveda as a way of life. He said a disease can be cured byAllopathy; and if a person adopts Ayurveda, he can ensure that he remains

Huge relief for senior citizensPM launches Digital LifeCertificate for Pensioners

The Prime Minister, NarendraModi, recently launched "JeevanPramaan" an "Aadhar-based DigitalLife Certificate" for pensioners, in amove that could eventually benefit overa crore pensioners. The Prime Ministersaid that after the push towards self-certification, this digital life certificatewas another enabling mechanism whichwould benefit the common man.

The proposed digital certificationwill do away with the requirement of apensioner having to submit a physicalLife Certificate in November each year,in order to ensure continuity of pensionbeing credited into his account. TheDepartment of Electronics and IT hasdeveloped a software application whichwill enable the recording of the pen-sioner`s Aadhar number and biometricdetails from his mobile device or com-puter, by plugging in a biometric read-ing device. Key details of the pensioner,including date, time, and biometricinformation will be uploaded to a cen-tral database on real-time basis, ulti-mately enabling the PensionDisbursing Agency to access a DigitalLife Certificate. This will conclusivelyestablish that the pensioner was aliveat the time of authentication. The earli-er requirement entailed that a pension-er either personally presents himself

before the Pension Disbursing Agency,or submits a Life Certificate issued byauthorities specified by the CentralPension Accounting Office (CPAO). Atpresent, 50 lakh individuals draw pen-sion from the Central Governmentalone. A similar number draw pensionfrom State and Union TerritoryGovernments. Several PSUs also pro-vide pension benefits. Over 25 lakhretired personnel draw pension from theArmed Forces. The Aadhar-BasedDigital Life Certificate will go a longway in reducing hardship which so

many senior citizens have to go throughto produce a Life Certificate every year.

The software application system willbe made available to pensioners andother stakeholders on a large scale at noextra cost. It can be operated on a per-sonal computer or a smartphone, alongwith an inexpensive biometric readingdevice. This facility will also be madeavailable at Common Service Centresbeing operated under the National e-Governance Plan, for the benefit of pen-sioners residing in remote and inaccessi-ble areas.

Involvement of womeninto dairy sector shouldbe enhanced: Minister

Union Agriculture Minister RadhaMohan Singh has stressed the need to fur-ther enhance the involvement of womeninto dairy sector so that India can lead theworld in the sector. Addressing the GoldenJubilee celebrations of National DairyDevelopment Board in Anand, Gujarat, hesaid that the Government is set to removeall bottlenecks and inertia in the growth ofthe sector to further emulate, growth ofGujarat, in whole of country.

Radha Mohan Singh said that value ofmilk produced in India is now more thanthe value fetched by rice/paddy. We arethe biggest producer of the milk in theworld and even export skimmed milk pow-der whereas I remember, as a kid in school,consuming British milk powder in 1960s.Highlighting the Government initiative toprotect indigenous breed of cow, theAgriculture Minister said that Indigenousbreeds of cows are about 83% of total num-ber of cows, if their productivity goes up,even marginally, total milk productionshall grow beyond our expectations.Indigenous cows are tolerant to climatechange as well. The Government is work-ing on Gokul Mission worth Rs. 500crores to promote the breed.

Underlining the importance of farmersin the economy, Radha Mohan Singh saidthat Prime Minister, Lal Bahadur Shastrirecognized this and Atal Bihari Vajpaitook it further, now it is our great fortunatethat Prime Minister Modi has given specialfocus on Agriculture in Union Budget. PMsGram Sinchai Yojana will ensure properirrigation. First time in the history wehave introduced soil health cards to checknon judicious use of fertilizers and we arecommitted to provide these cards to allfarmers within three years.

Radha Mohan Singh said that bankswere nationalized long back but poor mannever felt empowerment from these insti-tutions. Our Prime Minister recognized theneed and launched Jan Dhan Yojanawhich has so many benefits for the poorman. Within short period more than sixcrore accounts have been opened whichshows there no fault in the system but inthe intention of the people in governance.Agriculture Minister said that MahatmaGandhi experimented Satyagrah first timefrom Chamaparan, which is myParliamentary constituency , following himSardar Patel launched Cooperative move-ment from the land of Gujarat.

Opposition Congress is mounting pres-sure on CM Raman Singh to make his standclear on neighbouring state's controversialPolavaram project that could lead to dis-placement of people in Southern tip ofMaoist affected tribal Bastar region, even asChhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh exploreareas of mutual interest for development.Both the CMs have maintained that theissue was not discussed as it was under 'sub-judice' before the apex court.

Andhra Pradesh Government has saidthat Polavaram is a very important projectand the Andhra Pradesh government hasalready spent Rs 6,000 crore on it. Hencethey have urged the Chhattisgarh govern-ment to co-operate (with AP) in constructingit. An AP Government spokesman said thatwe have allayed their apprehensions aboutsubmergence of villages on their side andassured that the best rehabilitation andresettlement package will be given.

But Leader of Opposition in theAssembly TS Singhdeo and former CM AjitJogi said the state should have taken astrong stand before Andhra Pradesh on thematter. "A large number of villages inSukma face threat of submergence, leading

to large scale displacement of tribals," Jogisaid. Jogi said the project needs to beopposed strongly as state's vast rich mineral

resources would go under submergence andit will also pose a serious threat to rich bio-diversity of the region. Chhattisgarh govern-

ment has been in a fix after BJP governmentat Centre declared it as a priority project inan apparent attempt to woo Seemandhra.Chhattisgarh and Odisha have, however,been opposing it.Several cases, includingthose filed by Chhattisgarh and Odisha gov-ernments, have been pending against theproposed project to be set up on theGodavari river, 42km upstream of Godavaribarrage. The 2,160-metre long dam's catch-ment area is 3,06,643 sq km. At least 63,691hectares of forest land in Andhra Pradesh,Chhattisgarh and Odisha may be sub-merged. Andhra Pradesh and undivided MPhad entered into an agreement on August 7,1978, for the project aimed at irrigation,power generation and augmentation ofwater in Krishna basin. Without taking thethen MP government into confidence,Andhra had surveyed the area likely to besubmerged and prepared a project report.The report indicated that 2,717 people of 680families, 42 pucca and 300 'kutcha' houseswould be affected. About 2,398 hectareswould be submerged. In 2006, Maoists alsoopposed Polavaram project. The guerrillason many occasions took out rallies in Andhraand launched awareness campaign inBastar against it.

A picture is worth a thousand words,it captures the emotions that stay

etched in our minds forever. Last yeararound this time, emotions were runninghigh in the cricketing world -- SachinTendulkar was playing in his last interna-tional match of his career.

To the delight of the fans, the finalswansong witnessed just about everything- Glimpses of old Tendulkar, the straightdrive, the back foot punch through extracover and the raising of the bat towards thecrowd. But during this period, an iconicimage emerged from Sachin's farewell Testat the Wankhede Stadium - that of SachinTendulkar walking out to bat for one lasttime in international cricket and lookingtowards the heavens.

The picture clicked by Atul Kamble ofMid-day newspaper encapsulated all theemotions in one frame. He won the presti-gious Wisden-MCC Cricket Photograph ofthe Year 2013 award for the photo. Wecaught up with Kamble to understand theprocess that went into taking the iconic pic-ture and what the photograph meant tohim. It was Sachin Tendulkar's last matchso as a photographer, I had the sameamount of curiosity that a die hard cricketfan has. I had this one thing in mind. Itwas his last match so I needed to click a

memorable picture which I wouldremember forever. My Sports edi-tor Clayton Murzello always tellsme "Concentrate on off-beat pic-tures more and not action". Mostphotographers concentrate onaction so I had my Sport editor'sinstructions in my mind that day.The match started on 14November and Sachin came tobat that afternoon. Most papersthe next day carried a photo of

Sachin walking down the dressing roomsteps with the crowd in the backdrop. I toohad clicked that picture but wasn'timpressed with it.

But the next day, I told myself, I haveto get a good one today. I had preparedmyself. I had been covering cricket since1996 at the Wankhede stadium so I knewin which areas of the stadium you get prop-er light. In my mind, I knew that thereshould be a framing of Sachin coming out ofthe dressing room. At Wankhede, when youget out of the dressing room, the sun lightdirectly beams on you in the gap betweenthe MCA pavilion stand and the mainpavilion. Play starts at 9.30 am, so I hadtaken my position from 9 am itself, exactlyopposite the pavilion near the North Standat the Tata End. After a survey, I thoughtthis framing was proper. The rest of thephotographers were approximately 20-25feet away on either side of me. I positionedmyself in such a way that I could see thedressing room staircase, the crowd and thesunlight streaming in. In most cases,Sachin looks towards the heavens afterreaching the ground, but given that thiswas the morning sun and because of itspositioning, almost all of Wankhede on thedressing room side is covered with shadowfor nearly one hour.

kipper Virat Kohli led from the frontwith a gritty unbeaten century as adominant India completed a resound-

ing 5-0 whitewash over Sri Lanka by win-ning the fifth and final One-dayInternational by three wickets here today.Opting to bat, Sri Lanka rode on their skip-per Angelo Mathews' unbeaten 116-ball139 to put up a challenging 286 for eight atthe JSCA International Stadium Complex,before Kohli (139) guided India home witheight balls to spare.

Kohli struck 12 fours and three sixesduring his 126-ball captain's knock asIndia boosted their confidence ahead of thetough upcoming tour of Australia. Ascreaming Kohli sealed the issue by hittingMendis for a six over long-on after complet-

ing his 21st century and the fourth thisyear. Incidentally, Mathews too scored thesame number of runs runs in setting uprespectable score, but the day belonged to

his Indian counterpartas India geared up tothe Australia tourbefore the World Cupwith a memorableseries triumph.

Watched on by hisGCA president AmitShah, Axar Patelplayed a perfect cameoremaining unbeatenon 17 from 14 balls inan undefeated 57-runpartnership from 32balls. Chasing a fight-

ing 287, India looked in firm control withKohli and Rayudu (59 from 69 balls) put-ting on 136 runs for the third wicket, butthe latter was unfortunately run out by the

skipper triggering a mini collapse. Lankaalmost had the twist in the tale afterMendis (4/73) claimed the wickets of StuartBinny and R Ashwin in successive deliver-ies as Kohli remained stranded at the otherend.

The collapse that began with Rayudu'swicket meant India lost five wickets for 81runs but Kohli held his nerves and took onMendis, stepping out to hit a big six and afour to turn the match in India's favour.Scripting yet another run chase, Kohlibrought back the memories of his 77 notout in their run chase against England inJanuary last year, in the first match at thevenue. It was their best ever fight on thegruelling tour that came up suddenly, andheavy dew played a big role in their nar-row defeat.

It is difficult to say what might have promptedSingh to such a step.

here are some things you wouldunderstand only if you have livedin Mumbai traffic, local trains,

And ifyou thought that celebrities are shieldedfrom the woes of having to deal with nag-ging brokers, irate landlords and absurdhousing society laws, let actress KalkiKoechlin set you straight. Recently TheTimes of India reported Koechlin has final-ly found a place to stay. After Koechlin sep-arated from her Anurag Kashyap, shemoved out of his house in Andheri andrented a place near Kashyap's bungalow.After the year-long lease ended, she startedlooking for a new place and that's when theordeals began. The actress recounts, "I hadearlier found a place and really liked it, but

just when I was about to get it, thewoman met me and drasticallyincreased the price. Then, atanother place, as soonas they foundout that it isfor a celebrity,they refused as theysaid that they didn'twant media and stuffthere. Plus being a goriskin, there is a hugestereotype attachedto how you will be."Koechlin alsotook to Twitterto complainabout the diffi-culty of findinga place.

ere is a list of things that can be considered a"vaste" (read: Waste) of (your) time: posterreleases of PK, the controversies surrounding

them, the guessing game about Aamir Khan's charac-ter in the film, efforts to spot Sushant Singh Rajput inthe trailer and listening to the new PK song, which isaptly called "Waste of Time". Remember HrithikRoshan in Koi Mil Gaya? Picture him, just about halfhis height, with scary bug eyes, arched eyebrows andflappy ears, and you have Aamir Khan of PK. Also,while you are at it, try to recall Preity Zinta's horriblehaircut from Lakshya and replace Zinta's face withAnushka Sharma's. Et voila, you know the two actorsin "Waste of Time". Now, to imagine the picturisationof this song, try to recall Katrina Kaif dancing in arow of fountains, in a sheer dress, in Jab Tak HaiJaan. Now replace Kaif with Khan, in a hat and flo-ral-printed shirt. The rest of the time, Sharmababysits Khan around New Delhi wiping hissweaty head and his milkshake moushtaches as hestares at her with his creepy stalker eyes.
