tra Congress president
Nana Patole on Sunday
demanded the recall of
Governor Bhagat Singh
Koshyari over his com-
ments referring to Mar-
atha king Chhatrapati
Shivaji Maharaj as an
icon of “olden days”.
Patole also demanded
an apology from the
Bharatiya Janata Party
(BJP) claiming that its
leader Sudhanshu
Trivedi had made in-
sulting comments
against Shivaji Maha-
raj.
The Congress will
work for an “ideologi-
cally clean Maharash-
tra” and it will not toler-
ate the insult of social
reformers Mahatma
Phule, Savitribai Phule
and Chhatrapati Shiva-
ji Maharaj, Patole told
reporters here.
“This will not be tol-
erated. The BJP has to
publicly apologize and
the governor has to be
recalled,” he demand-
ed. In light of Congress

facing flak for his com-
ments on Turn to P6

Mumbai: Nationalist
Congress Party leader

said Governor Bhagat
Singh Koshyari must
consider quitting
his post if he cannot
understand the state’s
emotions. Koshyari
had, on Saturday, said
Chhatrapati Shivaji
Maharaj was an icon of
“olden days”. In a state-
ment issued during the
day, Pawar said, “It was
time for Koshyari to re-
consider his continuing
as state governor.” The
Leader of Opposition
in the state Assembly
added: “Chhatrapati
Shivaji Maharaj was
a great role model on
how to use power for
people’s welfare and
not self interest. These
ideals have inspired
Maharashtra and will
continue to do so for
time immemorial.”
He also said Prime
Minister Narendra Modi
should take cognizance
of Koshyari’s remarks.
GUV IN HOT WATER
Nana Patole Bhagat Singh Koshyari
One thing is
clear that
Chhatrapati
Shivaji Maharaj will re-

Koshyari had no doubts
about this in his mind.

Mumbai: An unassum-

village in the satellite

became a curious at-
traction for the villag-
ers as it has been
crawling with police
and mounted surveil-
lance. The villagers
only knew through
hearsay about some
“powerful” occupant
living in the building.
The structure in ques-
tion was where 70-year-
old Gautam Navlakha,
the Elgar Parishad-Mao-
ist links case accused,
was shifted for house ar-
rest on Saturday even-
ing, after being released
from Taloja prison fol-

(Marxist), is where Nav-
lakha would be staying

Shivaji an idol, hero as long as sun and moon exist: Fadnavis
First India Bureau
Pune: Amid a row
caused by remarks of
Governor BS Koshy-
ari and BJP spokes-
person Sudhanshu
Trivedi regarding
Chhatrapati Shivaji
Maharaj, Deputy
Chief Minister Dev-
endra Fadnavis on
Sunday said the war-
rior king will remain
a hero and idol for
the state and country
as long as the sun and
moon exist.
His comments come
a day after Koshyari
called Chhatrapati
Shivaji Maharaj an idol
of “olden times” at an
event in Aurangabad.
Meanwhile, the Na-
tionalist Congress Par-
ty has accused BJP na-
tional spokesperson
Sudhanshu Trivedi of
claiming the founder of
the Maratha empire
apologized to Mughal
king Aurangzeb five
times.
“One thing is clear
that Chhatrapati Shiva-
jiMaharajwillremaina
hero and idol of Maha-
rashtraandourcountry
as long as the sun and
the moon exist,” Fad-
navis, who is attending
theclosingceremonyof
the 71st All India Police
Wrestling Cluster
Championship in Pune,
told reporters.
“Even Governor
Bhagat Singh Koshyari
had no doubts about
this in his mind. Thus,
there are various
meanings derived from
the remarks made by
the Governor. I feel
there is no other role
model than that of
Shivaji Maharaj in the
country,” he added.
Clarifying Trivedi’s
statement, the deputy
CM said, “I have clearly
heard the statement
given by Sudhanshu
Trivedi. He never made
any statement that
Shivaji Maharaj had
apologized.”
Meanwhile, speaking
about the police event,
Fadnavis, who heads
the Home department,
said a special sports
complex and hostel
would be built for police
personnel, and a pro-
posal on it was in the fi-
nal stage.

First India Bureau
Buldhana: Congress
leader Rahul Gandhi
on Sunday accused
the Narendra Modi-
led Union govern-
ment of weakening
laws framed by the
United Progressive
Alliance (UPA) to em-
power tribal commu-
nities, and said his
party will strengthen
them further after
coming to power
again.
Addressing the Adi-
vasi Mahila Workers’
Sammelan at Jalgaon-
Jamod in Buldhana
district, Gandhi said
Adivasis are the “first
owners” of the country
and have equal rights
like other citizens.
The Modi govern-
ment was weakening
laws like the Panchay-
ats (Extension to
Scheduled Areas) Act,
Forest Rights Act,
Land Rights, Panchay-
at Raj Act and the res-
ervation for women in
local bodies, he said,
adding that PM Modi
calls tribal peoples
“vanvasis”—which has
a different mean from
“Adivasis”. “Vanvasi
means you can live
only in jungles, not in
cities, you can’t become
doctor and engineer
and can’t travel by
plane,” he said.
Gandhi alleged that
the PM wanted to take
away the tribal lands
and give them to his in-
dustrialist friends.
“'When we come to
power, we will strength-
en these laws and
frame new legislations
for your welfare,” he
said.
Gandhi said his
grandmother (former
prime minister) Indira
Gandhi would say Adi-
vasis were the first
owners of the country.
“You will not under-
stand the country if
you don't understand
the culture and history
of tribal groups,” he
said.

MUMBAI CONTINUES TO FIGHT
AGAINST MEASLES OUTBREAK
Kailash Korde
Mumbai: Even as the
COVID-19 cases are
going down steadily
in Mumbai, the city is
struggling to control
the outbreak of mea-
sles among children
as eight deaths and
184 confirmed cases
have been so far been
reported in the city,
as per civic officials.
Poor living condi-
tions, big family sizes,
lack of proper health
services, sanitation fa-
cilities and nutrition,
poor immunity, missed
vaccine doses and reluc-
tancefortheinoculation
are some of the major
reasons for the outbreak
of the disease in the city
,
they said.
The Brihanmumbai
Municipal Corporation
(BMC) has so far detect-
ed 2,900 suspected cases
of measles with patients
having common symp-
toms like fever and rash-
es this year as against 25
cases recorded in 2020
and nine last year.
The outbreak has of-
ficials worried, espe-
cially since the govern-
ment has targeted to
eradicate it by 2023 end.
The maximum
spread of the infection
is in the slum-dominat-
ed M-east ward—home
to Mumbai’s largest
dumping ground—fol-
lowed by L-ward com-
prising Kurla and
Chunabhatti areas.
Srushti Jaitely, a
therapist who also
works for an NGO, said
as per a 2009 report, the
human development in-
dex of the M-east ward
is 0.05%—equivalent to
sub-Saharan countries.
“There is extreme
poverty and a lot of vul-
nerability as the ward is
situated on the periph-
ery of the city
. When the
city was developing, the
ward was accommodat-
ing dumping grounds,
scrap yards and with
time, people also came
to settle in the area. A
lot of people have been
relocated there in the
name of rehabilitation.
Hence, the largest num-
ber of R and R (reloca-
tion and rehabilitation)
colonies are in this
ward,” Jaitely said.
A BMC doctor who
has worked in these ar-
eas blames poor living
conditions and services,
lack of sanitation facili-
ties, and poor immunity
and nutritious value for
the measles outbreak,
adding that bad advice
from the many fake doc-
tors in the area worsens
the issue. —PTI

USE RELIGION TO
BRIDGE THE
LINGUISTIC DIVIDE
WITH TAMILS
f India’s North-South
(read Tamil Nadu)
linguistic divide can
be bridged it will re-
quire a subtle mix of
religion and politics, like the one
in focus at Kashi Tamil Sanga-
mam. Tamil Nadu and the Tamil
language have been at the fore-
front of preserving India’s an-
cient religious and spiritual cul-
ture. Tamil Nadu, which has an
ancient Shiva temple at Ramesh-
waram, and Varanasi with its
Kashi Vishwanath temple have
had very close and ancient ties.
Thousands of pilgrims from Ta-
mil Nadu throng Kashi every
year bridging the gap politicians
try to widen because of the lan-
guage dispute. The Kashi Tamil
Sangamam will help narrow the
linguistic divide through spirit-
ualism and religion.
The naysayers might see
BJP’s initiative as politically
driven, but the only aspect the
Sangamam highlights is unity
in diversity
. The richness of Ta-
mil and its culture and that of
Hindi and Sanskrit must be
used for each other’s mutual en-
richment. Kashi-Tamil sangam
is indeed as holy as the Ganga
TOP TWEETS
I
errorism is a glob-
al issue but it con-
tinues to pose
threat to peace
and people’s lives
due to the stubbornness of
countries like Pakistan and
China. These countries use
terror groups directly or by
providing them with finan-
cial and logistic support to
destabilise governments and
kill innocent people in the
name of religion. As Prime
Minister Narendra Modi said
at the “No Money for Terror”
conference, some countries
use terror as part of their for-
eign policy and called for im-
position of cost on nations
backing terror. Action
against sponsors of terror-
ism, unfortunately, is selec-
tive as geo-political interests
come into play
.
When the twin towers of
the World Trade Centre in
New York were destroyed in
the 9/11 attack, the deadliest
on America, the US govern-
ment adopted all methods to
get after Osama bin Laden
and systemically destroyed
terror havens in Afghanistan
and Iraq. Pakistan was ex-
posed when Osama bin Laden
was found hiding on its soil
and the US immediately sus-
pended its financial aid to Is-
lamabad. It was Donald
Trump who said that Paki-
stan “does not do a damn
thing” and that its $1.3 billion
aid will remain suspended till
it acts against terror havens.
The same strong action is
not taken by the US or other
westerncountrieswhendead-
ly terror attacks take place in
India. Even designating
Masood Azhar, deputy leader
of the JeM terror group at the
UN was blocked by China
which backs Pakistan when it
comes to sponsoring terror-
ism in India. The prime min-
ister rightly pointed out that
such selective approach won’t
weed out terror.

ENDING AMAZON DEFORESTATION
4 essential reads about future
of world’s largest rainforest
razil’s president-elect, Luiz
Inácio Lula da Silva, was
greeted with applause and
cheers when he addressed
the U.N. climate conference
in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt,
on Nov. 16, 2022. As he had in
his campaign, Lula pledged
to stop rampant deforesta-
tion in the Amazon, which
his predecessor, Jair Bolsan-
aro, had encouraged.
Forests play a critical role
in slowing climate change by
taking up carbon dioxide,
and the Amazon rainforest
absorbs one-fourth of the
CO2 absorbed by all the land
on Earth. These articles from
The Conversation’s archive
examine stresses on the Am-
azon and the Indigenous
groups who live there.
1. MASSIVE LOSSES
The Amazon rainforest is
vast, covering some 2.3 mil-
lion square miles (6 million
square kilometers). It ex-
tends over eight countries,
with about 60% of it in Bra-
zil. And the destruction oc-
curring there is also enor-
mous. From 2010 to 2019, the
Amazon lost 24,000 square
miles (62,000 square kilome-
ters) of forest – the equiva-
lent of about 10.3 million U.S.
football fields. Much of this
land was turned into cattle
ranches, farms and palm oil
plantations.
Forest clearance in the re-
gion threatens people, wild
species and freshwater sup-
plies along with the climate.
“The farmers, commercial
interest groups and others
looking for cheap land all
have a clear vested interest in
deforestation going ahead,
but any possible short-term
gain is clearly outweighed by
long-term loss,” Vittert con-
cluded.
2. LEGALIZING
LAND GRABS
Much of the Amazon has
been under state control for
decades. In the 1970s, Brazil’s
military government started
encouraging farmers and
miners to move into the re-
gion to spur economic devel-
opment, while also setting
some zones aside for conser-
vation. More recently, how-
ever, Brazil’s government
hasmadeiteasierforwealthy
intereststoseizelargeswaths
of land – including in conser-
vation areas and Indigenous
territories.
Reviewing national laws
and land holdings, Universi-
ty of Florida geographers
Gabriel Cardoso Carrero,
Cynthia S. Simmons and
Robert T. Walker found that
Brazil’s National Congress
was expanding the legal size
of private holdings in the
Amazon even before Bolson-
aro was elected in 2019.
3. INDIGENOUS
RESISTANCE
Road building in the Ama-
zon, which increased dramat-
ically during Bolsonaro’s
tenure, brings development
and related threats like wild-
fires into wild areas. Univer-
sity of Richmond geographer
David Salisbury also saw it as
an existential threat to Indig-
enous communities.
Indigenous residents of
the Brazilian-Peruvian bor-
derlands where Salisbury
worked “understand that the
loggers and their tractors
and chainsaws are the sharp
point of a road allowing coca
growers, land traffickers and
others access to traditional
Indigenous territories and
resources,” Salisbury report-
ed. “They also realize that
their Indigenous communi-
ties may be all that stands in
defense of the forest and
stops invaders and road
builders.”
4. FIVE GLOBAL
DEFORESTATION
DRIVERS: BEEF, SOY,
PALM OIL, WOOD –
AND CRIME
A small handful of highly lu-
crative commodities are the
main causes of deforestation
in the Amazon and other
tropical regions around the
world. In Brazil, much of the
land is cleared for raising
beef cattle or cultivating soy
.
In Indonesia and Malaysia,
palm oil production is spur-
ring large-scale rainforest
destruction. Wood produc-
tion, for pulp and paper prod-
ucts as well as fuel, is also a
major driver in Asia and Af-
rica.
“Making the supply chains
for these four commodities
more sustainable is an im-
portant strategy for reducing
deforestation,” wrote Texas
State University geographer
Jennifer Devine. But Devine
also found a fifth factor inter-
woven with these four indus-
tries: organized crime.
SOURCE: THE CONVERSATION
B
“Large, lucrative industries
offer opportunities to move
and launder money; as a
result, in many parts of the
world, deforestation is
driven by the drug trade,”
she reported. In the
Amazon, for example, drug
traffickers are illegally
logging forests and hiding
cocaine in timber
shipments to Europe.
“Promoting sustainable
production and
consumption are critical to
halting deforestation
worldwide. But in my view,
national and industry
leaders also have to root
organized crime and illicit
markets out of these
commodity chains,”
Devine concluded
Road building in the
Amazon, which
increased dramatically
during Bolsonaro’s tenure,
brings development and
related threats like wildfires
into wild areas.
University of
Richmond geographer
David Salisbury also
saw it as an existential
threat to Indigenous
communities

Sharat K Verma
New Delhi: Whether
the competition is on
the playground or in the
field of elections, a
great player is one who
putsallhis/herstrength
into winning. But it
seems that the Congress
party does not believe
in this principle, rather
trusts on conserving its
strength. It seems that
Congress leaders think
that keeping it safe will
increase their strength.
Maximum show of
strength, during elec-
tions, increases power.
Congress leaders
should learn this from
Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi. He works so
hard in every election
as if his fate is at stake
in this election. Dozens
of rallies, meetings,
roadshows, election
strategy meetings, talks
with leaders, he does all
the work while being
the Prime Minister. In
contrast, the Congress
fights every election in
a half-hearted manner.
For example,
Himachal Pradesh elec-
tions were just held, but
only Priyanka Gandhi
Vadra’s rallies were
held for four days. If Ra-
hul Gandhi, who is car-
rying out the Bharat
Jodo Yatra could cam-
paign in Gujarat, then
could he not go to
Himachal, even if for
one day? Sonia Gan-
dhi’s health is not good
but it is being said that
she can attend the rally
to be held in Shegaon in
Maharashtra. She had
gone to Karnataka to
participate in the
Bharat Jodo Yatra. But
she did not go to
Himachal to hold a sin-
gle meeting, nor did she
write a letter or issue an
appeal to the people of
Himachal. If Rahul
Gandhi goes to Gujarat,
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra
will not go. Congress
party is using Priyanka
in installments. She is
the general secretary of
the party and she
should work hard in
elections everywhere.
The ruling party of the
country contests the
elections with full force
but the main opposi-
tion party shies from
taking an aggressive
stand in every election
and as a result its
‘strength’ is continu-
ously getting depleted.
Will lack of aggression result in Cong’s weakening?
GRAND PROBLEM OF GOP
Tapi (ANI): Union
Home Minister Amit
Shah on Sunday took a
swipe at Congress lead-
er Rahul Gandhi, who is
currently leading
Bharat Jodo Yatra in
Maharashtra, over his
absence from the elec-
tion campaign in Guja-
rat and said that Con-
gress has nothing in
Gujarat, that’s why “Ra-
hul Baba” is not coming
to Gujarat for cam-
paigning and is roam-
ing in other places.
While addressing an
election rally in Tapi
district of Gujarat, the
Home Minister further
said that ever since the
BJP government came
to power in Gujarat,
there has been develop-
ment in every field.
“There is a BJP govern-
ment in Gujarat since
1990 and the Congress is
saying that the work of
the Congress speaks for
itself. When it is not in
power since 1990, then
what is the work of
Congress? Congress
misleads the people.
The party which has
not been in power for
ages, then of what work
is it talking? Congress
should be ashamed.
Ever since the BJP gov-
ernment came to power
in Gujarat, there has
been development in
every field,” he said.

Botad (ANI): Prime
Minister Narendra
Modi on Sunday said
the state Assembly elec-
tions in Gujarat will
determine where the
state will be in the next
25 years.
Addressing a public
rally in the Botad dis-
trict of Gujarat on Sun-

for voters to shape the
destiny of the state in
the coming years. Ex-
horting people to vote
the BJP back to power

Prime Minister, during
his 30-minute-long
speech in native tongue,
Gujarati, said, “This
election is not only for
the next five years, it

next 25 years.” The
PM’s visit to the Botad
district was part of a

schedule on Sunday
.

Lucknow: Mainpuri
Lok Sabha poll is like do
or die for Samajwadi
Party President Akhile-
sh Yadav as it is a test of
his leadership. After los-
ing the Azamgarh Lok
Sabha seat he won in the
by-election,hehasnoop-
tion but to ensure that
his party wins the Main-
puri seat. Keep in mind
that SP won the seats of
Azamgarh and Mainpu-
ri even in the most diffi-
cult times. For the first
time in the 2014 elec-
tions, being held under
the leadership of Naren-
dra Modi, the SP won
boththeseatsandin2019
also the party won both
the seats. But after per-
forming very well in the
2022 assembly elections,
when Akhilesh Yadav
decided to remain an
MLA instead of an MP
,
he left the Azamgarh
seat and the party lost
that seat in the by-elec-
tion. Not only this, the
party also lost Rampur
seat, where MP Azam
Khan had resigned.
Now polls are being
held on Azam Khan’s as-
sembly seat and Main-
puri seat, which fell va-
cant after the death of
Mulayam Singh Yadav.
These polls are a test of
Akhilesh’s leadership.
Taking no chances,
Akhilesh has fielded his
wifeDimple.UncleShiv-
pal has also been includ-
ed in the list of star cam-
paigners of the party
.
The BJP has fielded
RaghurajSinghShakya,
who was close to Shiv-
pal. Keep in mind that
Akhilesh's cousin Dhar-
mendra Yadav was de-
feated on the Azamgarh
seat. That's why it is
very important for Akh-
ilesh to ensure Dimple’s
victory in Mainpuri.
A test of Akhilesh’s leadership skills!

Ahmedabad (PTI): The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party
(BJP) in Gujarat on Sunday suspended seven party
leaders, including two former MLAs, for filing nomi-
nations as independent candidates for the upcoming
state Assembly elections after they were denied tickets.
The seven candidates are contesting from the seats
that will go to polls in the first phase of the elections
scheduled to be held on December 1.
Ahmedabad: The BJP has accused the Congress here
of “minority appeasement” after a video surfaced in
which an opposition party MLA was purportedly heard
claiming that only Muslims can save country and the
Congress. The Congress, however, claimed the video
was three years old and had been tampered with.
The Congress said Chandanji Thakor was at that time
speaking at a meeting about Hindu-Muslim unity.
Bharuch (PTI): Even two
years after the death of
Congress’ veteran leader
and trou-
bleshooter
Ahmed
Patel,this
electoral
season in
Gujarat,
he is still the party’s ace
in his native Bharuch
district. While the
AAP strives to project
itself as the BJP’s main
rival in PM Narendra
Modi’s home state, the
Congress is a significant
factor for a seizable
section of the people in
Bharuch. “All the devel-
opments that you see in
Bharuch today are the
result of his (Patel’s)
efforts. Ahmed Bhai was
such a tall figure that
no one can ever forget
him,” a local said.
Jamnagar: Former UP
deputy CM Dinesh Sharma
on Sunday held a meeting
with BJP workers here,
reviewing preparations for
the Assembly elections. At
the meeting, Sharma told
BJP workers to spread out
and reach out to the last
voter. He added that the BJP
was working to implement
Gujarat’s ‘development
model’ across the length
and breadth of the country.
Later, speaking to ANI,
Sharma said, “The leader-
ship of PM Narendra Modi
and the positive intent with
which our govt has Gujarat
forward over the last five
years gives us the confi-
dence of returning to power
with the maximum seats.”
Ahmedabad (PTI): The
Centre’s decision of 10%
EWS reservation without
disturbing the existing
quota re-
solved many
issues of the
Patels and
the communi-
ty will ensure
BJP’s victory
in the assembly polls, party
leader Hardik Patel said.
The spearhead of the 2015
Patidar quota stir said
the agitation had directly
impacted nearly 20 assem-
bly segments in the 2017
Gujarat election. He had
supported the Congress in
the 2017 polls. The Centre
in January 2019 imple-
mented the 10% reserva-
tion for the EWS.
Buldhana (PTI): Congress General Secretary (com-
munications) Jairam Ramesh on Sunday said the
Bharat Jodo Yatra is a “revolutionary moment” for
national politics as well as the party and not an
event, and converting it into electoral success will
take a while. Addressing a press conference on the
last day of the foot march’s Maharashtra leg, Ramesh
claimed people were looking for an alternative and
wanted to get rid of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). “'The
Congress is the only ideology that presents an alter-
native to the BJP and the RSS. The Bharat Jodo Yatra
is a revolutionary moment for national politics and
the Congress and not an event,” Ramesh said.

said here on Sunday
.
The de-congestion of
power transmission

ing via Bangladesh, in
accordance with a multi-
lateral pact, will particu-
larly benefit the north-
eastern region, he said.
“Energy connectivity
can be a game changer.
We (India) have recent-
ly come up with the
cross-border energy
trading policy,” Shring-
la said on the inaugural
day of a two-day con-
clave here on the contri-
bution of the northeast-
ern region to nation-
building. Under the
policy, power can be
traded between Bangla-
desh, Nepal, Bhutan
and India through cor-
ridors in India and
Bangladesh, he said.
Shringla said as a re-
sult, the private sector
has made significant
investments in Nepal
due to which Nepal is
now exporting power to
India. This will change
the shape of regional
relations in the future,
he claimed.
India had started sell-
ing power to Bangla-
desh at the beginning
of last decade when the
neighbouring country
was reeling under an
energy crisis, and the
supply has increased
since then, he said.
He also highlighted
the need for de-conges-
tion of transmission
lines along the chick-
en’s neck’ for evacuat-
ing excess power from
the northeast region.

Police conduct fresh searches
across Delhi to find evidence
New Delhi (PTI): The
Delhi Police on Sunday
conducted fresh search-
es across the city, in-
cluding the forest areas
of Chhattarpur and the
locality where the ac-
cused in the Mehrauli
murder case Aaftab
Poonawala and Shrad-
ha Walkar used to live.
The police scaled up
the searches in Meh-
rauli and at Poonawa-
la’s flat in a bid to re-
cover remaining parts
of Walkar’s body and
the murder weapon, as
his custody remand ex-
pires on Tuesday
.
Sources said a Delhi
Police team is also con-
ducting searches in the
forest areas of Gurgaon
near the office where
accused used to work.
A separate team vis-
ited the flat where they
lived to collect evidence
as part of the ongoing
investigation.
While the permission
for Poonawala’s narco
test has come, investi-
gators are running
against time to get it
conducted.
The test will be con-
ducted at Dr Baba Sa-
heb Ambedkar Hospital
here in Rohini, most
likely on Monday
.
Poonawala allegedly
strangled Walkar and
sawed her body into 35
pieces which he kept in
a 300-litre fridge for al-
most three weeks at his
house in Mehrauli be-
fore dumping them
across the city over sev-
eral days past midnight.

Mumbai (PTI): A Delhi
Police team called three
persons in Maharash-

she was assaulted by
Poonawala in 2020, the
officials had earlier said.

ED once again
gets active in
Saradha Ponzi
scam of WB
Kolkata (Agencies):
Almost after eight years
since the central agen-

probes in the multi-
crore Saradha Chit fund
scam in West Bengal,
the ED in a renewed ac-
tivity froze two bank ac-
counts of an erstwhile
official of the said enti-

Rajat Majumdar, the
retired director general
of West Bengal Police
who later became the

agency’s ongoing probe
into the Rs 2,000 crore
Saradha Ponzi scam.

Expect substantial rise in SUV market share this fiscal: Maruti
New Delhi (PTI): Maruti
Suzuki expects substantial
increase in its market
share in the sports utility
vehicle (SUV) segment this
fiscal with the new Brezza
and Grand Vitara receiv-
ing robust response, ac-
cording to a senior compa-
ny official.
The auto major also
plans to introduce more
models in the SUV segment
in the remaining part of
the financial year.
“In July we were at 7.1%
(market share) in the SUV
segment...It increased to
10.8% in August, 13.01% in
September and 14.4% in
October. So it is showing an
increasing trend,” Maruti
Suzuki India (MSI) Senior
Executive Officer Market-
ing Sales Shashank Sriv-
astava said.
He noted that the market
sharewouldhaveincreased
further if the company had
not faced supply issues
with Brezza last month.
“I would not like to pro-
ject a going forward figure
but can safely say that we
are expecting a good in-
crease (in market share)
this fiscal as we expect to
launch a few more SUVs,”
Srivastava said.
He noted that the gain
would help it regain mar-
ket share in the overall pas-
senger vehicles segment.
“Strengthening SUV seg-
ment is an important part
of our strategy to regain
the overall market share
which we lost due to non
presence in the SUV seg-
ment,” Srivastava said.
MSI, which did not have
a credible presence in the
mid-size segment, had end-
ed last fiscal with a market
share of 10.9% in the SUV
space.

‘ECONOMY TO GROW
6-7% IN NEXT FISCAL’
New Delhi (PTI): India
will still grow at 6-7% in
the next 2023-24 fiscal even
as the economy may be af-
fected by uncertain global
conditions, former Niti
Aayog Vice-Chairman Ra-
jiv Kumar has said amid
growing fears of the world
slipping into a recession.
Kumar further said
there is a synchronized
downturn in the US, Eu-
rope, Japan and also in
China and that could take
the global economy into a
recession in the coming
months. “Thankfully, there
is no such prospect of re-
cession in India, because
although our growth may
be negatively affected by
the global conditions, we
will still manage to grow at
6-7% in 2023-24,” he said.
The World Bank on Octo-
ber 6 projected a 6.5%
growth rate for the Indian
economy for 2022-23, a drop
of one percentage point
from its June 2022 projec-
tions, citing the deteriorat-
ing international environ-
ment, while IMF projected
a growth rate of 6.8% in
2022 as compared to 8.7% in
2021 for India.
Replying to a question
on high inflation, Kumar
said retail inflation will
probably be in the range of
6-7% for some more time.
“After that, my estimate
is that it should begin to
peak and then come down,”
he said.
Kumar added that de-
pends a lot on global oil
prices as it can continue to
rise because of the contin-
ued conflict in Ukraine.
“But otherwise domestic
drivers of inflation will
cool down,” he noted.
Asked about the impact
of a weakening Indian ru-
pee on the common man,
the former Niti Aayog vice
chairman said the com-
mon Indian does not use a
lot of imported goods or
services in their consump-
tion basket.
New Delhi (PTI): India is likely to post a 6.5% to 7.1% economic
growth during the current financial year 2022-23 amid rising
inflation and impending global slowdown, Deloitte India said
in a report. “The seemingly unending saga of global economic
uncertainties has begun to negatively impact India’s main drivers
of growth. So volatile is the current economic environment that
if one is looking for certainties from the recent data releases, it is
unlikely that a consistent outlook will emerge,” Deloitte said. De-
loitte expects “India to post a 6.5-7.1% growth during FY22–23
(April 2022 to March 2023) and 5.5-6.1% the following year
contingent on the revival of the global economy and improving
economic fundamentals.” India’s gross domestic product (GDP)
grew by 8.7% in the 2021-22 fiscal year.

BPS IN TANDEM
WITH RBI’S REPO
RATE HIKE
Mumbai (PTI): All major
banks have increased their
external benchmark-based
lending rates (EBLRs) by
190 basis points in tandem
with the hike in the Re-
serve Bank’s policy repo
rate since May this year,
though they have been slow
in raising the deposit rates.
The Reserve Bank has
hiked the key short-term
lending rate (repo) by 190
basis points in four tranch-
es since May to contain
inflation.
By October-end 2022,
banks have increased their
EBLRs by 190 bps in tan-
dem with the increase in
the policy repo rate since
May 2022, according to an
RBI article.
Further, banks have also
increased their 1-year me-
dian MCLR by 85 bps from
May to October 2022.
From October 1, 2019, all
banks have to lend only at
an interest rate linked to
an external benchmark,
such as RBI’s repo rate or
Treasury Bill yield.
CII TO GOVT
Decriminalise GST
law, slash personal
I-T rates in Budget
New Delhi (ANI): Industry
body CII has pitched for a
reduction in personal in-
come tax rates, decriminal-
isation of the goods and
services tax and a relook at
the capital gains tax rates
as part of its agenda pre-
sented to the government
for the forthcoming Budget.
Arguing that the GST law
already contains adequate
penal provisions for deter-
rence against evasion of
taxes, CII has suggested de-
criminalisation of GST law.
Also, the applicability of
prosecution provisions
should not be based on the
absolute amount of tax
evasion but should be
based on real intent to
evade the taxes and a cer-
tain percentage of the tax
payable, it stated.
“A fresh look is needed at
the capital gains tax with
respect to its rates and
holding period to remove
complexities and inconsist-
encies. Moreover, the Gov-
ernment should contem-
plate a reduction in the
rates of personal income
tax in its next push for re-
form as this would increase
disposable incomes and re-
vive the demand cycle,” CII
President Sanjiv Bajaj said.

First India Bureau
Mumbai: Shiv Sena-
Uddhav Balasaheb
Thackeray leader San-
jay Raut on Sunday
claimed that the posi-
tive energy generated
due to the Congress’s
Bharat Jodo Yatra has
been undone by Rahul
Gandhi’s criticism of
freedom fighter VD
Savarkar.
In his weekly col-
umn ‘Rokhthok’ of the
party mouthpiece
‘Saamana’, Raut ques-
tioned why Gandhi
was raking up issues,
which touch the peo-
ple’s emotional chord
and giving the Bharati-
ya Janata Party (BJP)
a chance on a platter to
divert attention.
“Savarkar spent
more than 10 years in
Andaman cellular jail
and faced tremendous
hardships. The British
did not arrest him on
false charges of money
laundering. He lit the
torch of an armed rev-
olution against the
British rule which is
why he was sentenced
to the Andaman jail,”
Raut, who is the execu-
tive editor of the Mar-
athi daily, said.
“By speaking
against Savarkar, Ra-
hul Gandhi doused the
positive energy and
confidence generated
by the Bharat Jodo
Yatra,” Raut claimed.
He said two sentenc-
es of life imprison-
ment meant 50 years in
jail. Savarkar’s broth-
er Narayanrao was re-
leased unconditionally
while Savarkar him-
self was released on
conditions. This can-
not be termed as mer-
cy, he added.
During a press con-
ference in Maharash-
tra as part of his ongo-
ing Bharat Jodo Yatra,
Gandhi recently called
Savarkar a symbol of
the BJP and the Rash-
triya Swayamsevak
Sangh (RSS).
He had also claimed
that the late Hindutva
ideologue helped the
British rulers and
wrote a mercy petition
to them out of fear, the
remarks that drew
criticism and trig-
gered protests.
Rajya Sabha mem-
ber Raut also cited ref-
erence in a book by
author YD Phadke
which says a letter by
Savarkar has been mis-
construed as mercy, it
was a strategic act to
get released from jail.
Even though he men-
tioned that he was
ready to cooperate
with the British gov-
ernment, it was a stra-
tegic move and should
not be taken on face
value, the Sena leader
said further quoting
the book.

Prashant Rangnekar
Mumbai: The Minis-
try of Home Affairs
(MHA) has approved
a common communi-
cation plan for coast-
al security that envis-
ages integrating ma-
rine law enforcement
agencies into a single
network for better
coordination and
seamless exchange of
mission-critical in-
formation.
The plan will be able
to integrate all coastal
security agencies in a
common communica-
tion network with a
dedicated spectrum for
the purpose, a senior
Indian Navy official
has said.
The dedicated spec-
trum will use a common
band and it will be a
“big step” in terms of
boosting coastal secu-
rity, said the official of
the Western Naval Com-
mand, headquartered
in Mumbai, who de-
clined to be named.
The construct of
coastal security in-
volves joint operations,
exercises, and activi-
ties, which require co-
ordination between
multiple agencies at the
Command and Control
Centre of the Navy and
at the field - be it ashore
or at sea, he said.
So communication
between agencies and
units involved with
coastal security, espe-
cially those operating at
sea, plays a vital role in
cross-agency coordina-
tion and seamless ex-
change of mission-crit-
ical information on a
real-time basis so as to
enable effective conduct
of coastal security ac-
tivities, said the official.
This facet received an
impetus after the recent
appointment of a Na-
tional Maritime Secu-
rity Coordinator to
oversee national mari-
time issues, he said.
Against this back-
drop, the MHA had con-
stituted a task force
comprising representa-
tives of all central and
state agencies con-
cerned to facilitate ef-
fective communication
by coastal security
stakeholders.
“The MHA recently
promulgated a common
communication plan
for coastal security that
will be able to integrate
all coastal security
agencies in a common
communication net-
work,” he said, adding
the central ministry ap-
proved the plan last
week. — PTI
Supreme Court on
Monday will hear a
plea filed by the Ma-
harashtra govern-
ment challenging a
Bombay High Court’s
2020 order by which
it had suspended the
investigation into
two FIRs against Re-
public TV editor-in-
chief Arnab Goswa-
mi for allegedly mak-
ing inflammatory
comments.
The FIRs pertain to
Goswami’s comments
during his TV pro-
grammes about the
Palghar lynching inci-
dent and migrants
gathering in large
numbers in Bandra
during the pandemic-
induced lockdown.
A bench of Chief
Justice DY Chandra-
chud and Justice Hima
Kohli will hear the ap-
peal filed by the Maha-
rashtra government.
On October 26, 2020,
the top court had ob-
served that some peo-
ple are targeted with
“greater intensity” and
need more protection.
The Maharashtra
government, which
was then ruled by Ud-
dhav Thackeray-led
Maha Vikas Aghadi,
had opposed the high
court’s decision to stay
the police probe
against Goswami.
In its June 30, 2020
order, the high court
had noted that while
Goswami’s comments
had targeted the Con-
gress and its president
Sonia Gandhi, he did
not make any state-
ment that would cause
public disharmony or
incite violence be-
tween different reli-
gious groups.
COASTAL SECURITY
COMMON COMMUNICATION PLAN GETS MHA NOD
Dedicated single spectrum for all marine law-enforcement agencies will enable

Mumbai: Superin-
tendent of Police
(Palghar District)
Balasaheb Patil on
Friday invited bids
for fishing boats
and trawlers for pa-
trolling the 107km-
long coastline of
Palghar district.
According to a sen-
ior coastal police of-
ficer, the Palghar
coastal police is ill-
equipped and forced
to hire slow fishing
vessels for patrolling
the seas while crimi-
nals and anti-social
elements have latest
navigation and com-
munication equip-
ment with powerful
engines and high
speed to escape detec-
tion. Fishing boats
are no match for the
high-speed boats.
The e-tenders of the
Palghar Police Motor
Transport Depart-
ment invited bids for
45-feet fishing trawl-
ers and smaller 15-20-
feet fishing boats to
patrol shallow waters
and rocky beaches ca-
pable to withstand 20-
30 knots wind condi-
tions. The rented fish-
ing vessels with 4-10
knots speed would be
replacements for the
high-speed intercep-
tor patrol boats with a
top speed of 30 knots.
Earlier, the high-
speed interceptor ves-
sels meant for patrol-
ling were grounded
due to the failure of
the state government
to renew Comprehen-
sive Maintenance
Contracts (CMC) to
keep the patrol boats
operational. The laps-
es in the procurement
of new interceptor pa-
trol boats and renew-
ing existing contracts
to service the fleet of
patrol vessels ren-
dered unfit and opera-
tional. Chief Minister
Eknath Shindehad
chaired a meeting on
coastal security and
took senior officials to
task for failure to
strengthen coastal pa-
trolling.
The bids invited for
fishing boats to
strengthen coastal se-
curity have faced flak
from senior police of-
ficials who have point-
ed out the futility of
patrolling the vast
coastline in slow-mov-
ing fishing trawlers
with no capabilities to
intercept suspicious
vessels in the seas.
SEAMLESS
Coastal security involves joint operations, exercises,
and activities, which require coordination between
multiple agencies at the Command and Control
Centre of the Navy and at the field, both ashore or
at sea. So communication between agencies and
units involved with coastal security, especially those
operating at sea, plays a vital role in cross-agency
coordination and seamless exchange of mis-
sion-critical information on a real-time basis.

The individual alleged-

As per police reports,
Naresh Bharat Singh,
who is accused, alleg-

She owns shares
worth Rs3.14 crore of 16
different companies
and has demat accounts
in Share Khan trading

A letter from the

Pinto about a possible
fraud. She then ap-
proached the police. A
fake Aadhar card was
also made in her name
by Singh.

that the shares were
transferred to another

MUMBAI, MONDAY,
NOVEMBER 21, 2022
f the post-pandemic fashion
era has taught us anything,
it’s to value easy and comfy
clothing. A few shapes have
become wider and baggier
throughout time, and the
greatest items for autumn
have followed suit. But don’t
misunderstand; oversized
fits don’t necessar-
ily make you
look chub-
by. Still, if
you’re not
ready to fully
embrace the
big trend,
use baggy
jeans as a
s t e p p i n g
stone. Pair
your pants
with a
fitting top to prevent feeling
as though your clothes are
wearing you. By doing this,
the proportions are balanced
out. The best thing is that
you won’t even realise you’re
wearing jeans since they’ll
feel so comfy
.
An additional classy op-
tion to embrace this style is
to wear a roomy blazer. Your
blazer will seem stylish and
contemporary, thanks to the
large fit, and not like you’re
going to the workplace. How-
ever, you can certainly wear
yours to work with your fa-
vourite pair of pants and a
button-up. Try toying with
proportions by wearing it
with slim-fitting jeans or
faux-leather pants if you
want to keep it basic.
For a simple athleisure
outfit, put a jacket over a
sports bra and cycle shorts if
you’d rather channel some
‘80s royalty. Compared to a
fitted one, an oversized but-
ton-up is a far more weara-
ble. Yours may be worn open
with a cropped tank under-
neath for a more carefree ap-
pearance. Alternatively,
keep it closed for a more el-
egant appearance that will
work for both date night and
the office. No matter what
colour you pick, this
closet essential is radi-
cally transformed by an
oversized fit.
Is there anything cosi-
er than a sweater that feels
like your favourite blanket
wrapped around you? No,
we’d say
. Choose a big sweat-
er instead of a tight one, ide-
ally in a size larger than nor-
mal. For the ultimate cool-
girl style, score extra points
by wearing yours with big
jeans and clogs.
The latest fashion is to size up rather than size down.
But how you wear an oversized item really makes a
difference in whether you stand out or not. City First is
here to give you some insights on the oversized trend and
how you can pull it off and make it work for you.

TIME MANAGEMENT
AS AN ESSENTIAL INGREDIENT FOR SUCCESS
“Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money but
you cannot get more time” -Jim Rohn (American Entrepreneur)
imeManagementrefers
to managing time effec-
tively so that the right
time is allocated to the
right activity
. Effective
time management al-
lows individuals to as-
sign specific time slots to activi-
ties as per their importance. It is
the technique to use one’s time
efficientlysoastomakethemost
of it.Efficienttimemanagement
increases your productivity im-
proves your quality of work and
also helps reduce stress. One
who can manage his time re-
sourcefully by utilising Do; De-
lay
,Delegate,andDroptechnique
is a real winner.
Never give in to urgency syn-
drome, neglecting what is tru-
ly important. Since we all get
the same 24 hours, why is it
that some people achieve SO
MUCH in this time and some
achieve NOTHING? One must
apply a suitable methodology
to ascertain the optimum use
of time. “Good time manage-
ment is a personal skill for
managing oneself, one’s work
and the work of others”
Importance of Time Man-
agement. It is rightly said.”
Either you run the day or the
day runs you”. This is true for
people from all spheres of life.
Whether you are a student, a
corporate employee or a home-
maker, you must manage your
time efficiently to accomplish
your tasks systematically.
Time management is impor-
tant as: - Time is limited and
needs optimum use, requires
quality decision-making for ef-
ficiency, reduces stress levels
by planning and prioritising
for better output, No multi-
tasking to avoid confusion and
chaos and a good time manage-
ment technique for greater
productivity.
Obstacles to effective Time
Management:- Lack of clarity
on Objectives /goals, Unorgan-
ised work resulting in chaos
and confusion, Inability to say
NO, Overloading of work and
no prioritisation plan, Stress
and fatigue, Disinterest in
work and Indecisiveness.
Tips to Manage Time Effi-
ciently
Start Early. It is always bet-
ter to begin your day a little
early so that you have more
time to invest in productive ac-
tivities. However, it is essential
to have 7-8 hours of sleep each
day.
Prepare a To-Do List. The
first stage of improving your
time management is to list ab-
solutely everything that you
have to do. List your tasks
based on your priority and be-
gin accomplishing them one
after the other as per priority.
Assign Time to Your
Tasks. Whether it’s a pin-up
planner, a timetable or a calen-
dar on your phone, find an or-
ganizing tool that works well
for you and add your list of
priorities to it. Assign time to
each of the tasks on your list
and make sure you complete
them within the set time.
Be Flexible but Realistic: Typ-
ically
, Allow Around 8-10 hours a
day for working, studying play-
ing,socializingandanythingelse
practical you need to do. It’s
also important to remember
that things often take longer
than expected. So, Allow a lit-
tle extra time in case you
spend longer on a
task than you
thought you would.
Takingthetimeto
research, plan
and think about
your work is cru-
cial for good
time man-
agement.
A v o i d
Procrastina-
tion and Dis-
traction. The two
most important
words for time
management
are:NoandNow.
For action-
‘Now’isthetime
and so avoiding
procrastination
is the best option:
For distraction-
‘No’ is the right
word. One way
to avoid pro-
crastination
is to identify the place where you
are most focused and least dis-
tracted.
Take Breaks and Exercise to
Clear Your Head in Between
Work Sessions. Don’t rush from
task to task. Give yourself some
time in between to unwind
and begin the
next task with greater motiva-
tion. Believe it or not, exercise
works in the same way sleep
does. It can focus your state of
mind, helping you clear your
headandboostyourbrainpower
in between work sessions.
Eat Healthily
. It is essential to
have a well-bal-
anced diet in order to stay en-
ergized all through the day
and make the most of the
time you have.
Review and Realign. Con-
stantly reviewing and reas-
sessing your schedule can
help you to recognize
whether you need to make
any changes or realign in
order to help you complete
any tasks and also have time
to relax and spend time with
friends with a family
Time management is easier
said than done. It takes a lot of
dedication and determination to
stay focused and follows
thescheduleonehassetto
manage time efficiently
.
However,onceyoumaster
this art you are sure to
succeed. It might appear
simplebutmanagingtime
efficiently calls for quali-
tative output from indi-
viduals. It calls for self-
discipline and con-
stantreminderof the
importance of ac-
complishing tasks
in a timely
manner.

great di-
viding line
between
successand
failure can be

five words: “I
