Mumbai: After the Ve-
danta-Foxconn pre-
ferred a Gujarat move
for their semiconductor
manufacturing unit, all
eyes are now focussed
on outcomes of eight
other industrial pro-
jects seeking fruition in
Maharashtra, currently
pending a Union gov-
ernment sanction.
Of the nine pending
proposals, Maharash-
tra is already smarting
over the in-principle
sanction accorded to
Gujarat, Himachal
Pradesh and Andhra
Pradesh for bulk drug
parks (BDPs), while it
has been kept waiting.
Maharashtra had
submitted a proposal
under the ‘Promotion
of Bulk Drug Parks’
scheme for a BDP in
Raigad district. Set to
be spread over 2,500
acre land, with a finan-
cial outlay of Rs3,000
crore, the state govern-
ment’s request for
Rs1,000 crore financial
assistance from New
Delhi was duly ac-
knowledged by Centre
on August 30, 2021. How-
ever, on September 01,
2022, approval was
granted to the three
other states in the run-
ning.
Similarly, Maharash-
tra had submitted an-
other proposal for a
medical devices park
(MDP) in Bidkin Indus-
trial Area to the De-
partment of Pharma-
ceuticals, Ministry of
Chemicals and Fertiliz-
ers, Government of In-
dia (GoI) on October 14,
2020. In a letter, the Ma-
harashtra government
was informed on Sep-
tember 24, 2021, that
the MDP proposal had
been waitlisted, even as

SHAH RUKH KHAN’S REQUEST TO MODI:
TAKE A DAY OFF, ENJOY YOUR BIRTHDAY

Satish Nandgaonkar
Mumbai: Shiv Sena
President Uddhav
Thackeray on Satur-
day reiterated the
party’s resolve to
hold the annual
Dussehra rally at
Shivaji Park this year.
He urged party activ-
ists to gather in large
numbers on the day,
setting the stage for a
confrontation with
members of the
Eknath Shinde fac-
tion, who are vying to
host the rally as well.
Addressing a meet-
ing of deputy vibhag
pramukhs (department
heads) at the Shiv Sena
Bhavan in Mumbai,
Thackeray said, “This
year’s ‘Dasera Melava’
(Dussehra rally’ will be
held at ‘Shivteerth’.
Please do not harbour
any doubts about it. We
have also sent a remind-
er application to the
Brihanmumbai Munic-
ipal Corporation (BMC)
in this regard.”
Sena refers to Shivaji
Park as ‘Shivteerth’ af-
ter party founder Bala-
saheb Thackeray’s me-
morial was set up at the
park.
“Uddhavji has asked
us to ensure larger
numbers for both the
Dussehra rally as well
as the office-bearers’
conclave scheduled for
September 21 at Nesco
ground in Goregaon,”
said a Shiv Sena activ-
ist, who attended the
meeting.
The Uddhav faction
of the Shiv Sena was
the first to submit an
application to the BMC
requesting permission
to hold the Dussehra
rally at Shivaji Park on
October 05. The Rebel
MLA faction led by
Chief Minister Eknath
Shinde also submitted
an application seeking
a permit for the rally at
the same venue on
Dussehra day
.
Further, the Shinde
faction also applied for
permission to hold a
rallyatMMRDAground
in Bandra Kurla Com-
plex (BKC) as an alter-
native venue.
BMC officials have
since maintained that
as the legal proceedings
of both factions over be-
ing the ‘real’ Shiv Sena
are pending before the
Supreme Court’s Con-
stitution bench, the
civic body’s legal de-
partment will give its
opinion on the rally
matter before it can
grant permission.
When he was politi-
cally active, Balasaheb
Thackeray’s speech at
the Dussehra rally
would attract Shiv
Sena activists from all
over Maharashtra. The
rebellion by Eknath
Shinde and 40 MLAs
has charged up ordi-
nary Sena activists and
the rally is likely to at-
tract a huge crowd
from across the state
this year.
First India Bureau
Aurangabad: Maha-
rashtra Chief Minis-
ter Eknath Shinde on
Saturday said his
government would
carry out various de-
velopment projects in
Marathwada region
of the state. He also
said that a periodic
review of these works
will be undertaken.
Shinde was in Au-
rangabad city to attend
the Hyderabad Libera-
tion Day (also known as
Marathwada Mukti
Sangram Din) anniver-
sary programme,
where he hoisted the
tricolour. The day
marks the anniversary
of Marathwada’s inte-
gration with India after
the Indian military de-
feated the Nizam to
merge Hyderabad into
the Indian Union.
Addressing people
on the occasion, the
chief minister said,
“The government is un-
dertaking various de-
velopment works in the
Marathwada region
and a periodic review
of these works will be
taken from the war
room.”
“We will carry out
development works at
the Ghrushneshwar
temple in Ellora. The
government is also
positive about setting
up a sports university,
carrying out the reno-
vation of Paithan gar-
den and the museum in
Aurangabad, imple-
mentation of water
pipeline schemes in
Jalna and Aurang-
abad, among other
things,” he said.
Instructions have
also been given to the
authorities to expedite
the work of the memo-
rial of Shiv Sena found-
er Bal Thackeray in
Aurangabad, he said.
Talking to reporters
after the event, Shinde
said, “A national-level
event to mark the Hy-
derabad Liberation
Day will take place in
Hyderabad on this day
for three states (Telan-
gana, Maharashtra and
Karnataka that were
part of the Nizam rule
till September
17,1948).”
A project has been
undertaken to divert to
the Marathwada the
water that drains into
the sea to mitigate the
region’s problems aris-
ing out of the drought
situation, he said.
When asked, Shinde
said the government
has not given a stay on
the allotment of indus-
trial plots in the state.
“No such decision
about a stay on the al-
lotment of plots to in-
dustry has been taken.
A review has been tak-
en. The government is
committed to take max-
imum service to the in-
vestors coming here,”
he said.
He was reacting to a
query about reports
that the government
has ordered a stay on
the MIDC plots allotted
after June 01, 2022, ask-
ing the authorities to
review the allotment
sanctioned.

First India Bureau
Mumbai: The state’s
Food and Drugs Ad-
ministration (FDA)
has cancelled the
baby powder manu-
facturing licence of
Johnson Johnson
Pvt Ltd “in the inter-
est of public health at
large.”
In a release issued on
Friday
, the state govern-
ment agency said the
company’s product,
Johnson’s Baby Powder,
may affect the skin of
newborn babies.
Samples of the pow-
der for babies did not
conform to standard pH
value during a labora-
tory test, said the regu-
lator.
The release said the
action was taken after
Kolkata-based Central
Drugs Laboratory’s
conclusive report that
concludes “the sample
does not conform to IS
5339:2004 with respect
to the test for pH.”
According to the re-
lease, FDA had drawn
samples of Johnson’s
Baby Powder from Pune
and Nashik for quality
check purposes.
The government ana-
lyst had declared the
samples as “not of the
standard quality” as
they do not comply with
IS 5339:2004 specifica-
tion for skin powder for
infants in the test pH, it
said.
Thereafter, FDA is-
sued a show-cause no-
tice to Johnson and
Johnson under the
Drugs Cosmetics Act
1940 and Rules, besides
issuing instructions to
the company to recall
the stock of the said
product from market,

Meanwhile, Gujarat
had remained at the
third spot, state Con-
gress general secretary

ing a report by the De-
partment for Promotion
of Industry and Inter-
nal Trade (DPIIT).
The Opposition has
been blaming the
Eknath Shinde-Deven-

ment over Gujarat pip-
ping Maharashtra to
win a mega semicon-
ductor project of Ve-

“When we are al-

that of Gujarat was
Rs19,44,107 crore, he

This is a healthy compe-

“Unfortunately, in
the last two years our
position slipped and
Gujarat topped the list
and it went from $3 bil-
lion to $23 billion and
investment in Maha-

Govt restores all
MHADA decision
making powers
First India Bureau
Pune: A govern-
ment resolution
(GR) was issued on
Friday to restore
powers of the Ma-
harashtra Hous-
ing Area and De-
velopment Author-
ity (MHADA),
thereby enabling
the body to take its
own decisions.
However, Jitendra
Awhad, who was the
housing develop-
ment minister dur-
ing the Maha Vikas
Aghadi (MVA) gov-
ernment’s regime,
said he had taken
over the powers of
MHADA as the gov-
ernment had “zero
knowledge” of its
functioning.
According to
Awhad, every gov-
ernment body has to
operate within the
purview of the gov-
ernment and its
rules and regula-
tions. In the case of
MHADA, the govern-
ment was not getting
information as to
what it was doing.
“The government
had ‘zero knowledge’
about its functioning.
Andthatisthereason
the housing ministry
had taken over the
decision-making
powers,” Awhad said
on Saturday
.
As per the resolu-
tion, MHADA offi-
cials will no longer
have to rely on the
government for deci-
sion-making. The GR
will allow MHADA to
make its own deci-
sions regarding rede-
velopment proposals,
allotment of houses,
transfer of employ-
ees and the like.
Awhad even said
that he has no objec-
tions to the Shinde-
Fadnavis govern-
ment restoring the
powers of MHADA.
“Every government
takes its own deci-
sions which it thinks
are appropriate.
They have taken a de-
cision and I have no
objections,” he said.

First India Bureau
Mumbai: Amid the
outbreak of lumpy
skin disease (LSD) in
cattle in the state, the
government proposes
to set up quarantine
centres in affected dis-
tricts for treatment of
cattle. The concept
will be implemented
in 682 villages of 24
districts, on the lines
of COVID-19 quaran-
tine centres, which
were set up during the
peak of the pandemic.
An announcement to
this effect was made by
Chief Minister Eknath
Shinde on Saturday, at
aneventinAurangabad.
The demand for LSD
centres was made by RR
Patil Foundation presi-
dent Vinod Patil during
a meeting with the chief
minister on the day
.
“Treatment centres
were set up for the gen-
eral public in the wake
of the COVID-19 pan-
demic. Similarly, quar-
antine centres will also
be set up to treat ani-
mals affected by LSD.
The government has
taken a series of deci-
sions to prevent spread
of the disease,” said
Shinde.
Assuring the state
government’s assis-
tance in implementa-
tion of several meas-
ures to curb the spread
of LSD and vaccination,
CM Shinde said, “At pre-
sent, the lumpy skin dis-
ease is spreading from
one state to another. The
department of animal
husbandryanddairyde-
velopment has been
asked to step up efforts
andtakenecessarysteps
to combat it.”
An officer from Ani-
mal Husbandry and
Dairy Development De-
partment said, “The de-
partment will coordi-
nate with district collec-
tors on setting up quar-
antine centres at the
Zilla Parishad group
level, in 24 districts af-
fected by LSD.”
These centres will be-
come functional in due
courseof time,headded.
Putting forth other
demands, Patil said,
“Apart from setting up
quarantine centres at
every Zilla Parishad
grouplevel,wehavealso
demanded that the gov-
ernment make vaccines
availableonwarfooting.
It should also provide
financial assistance to
farmers who have lost
their cattle due to LSD.”
According to current
data, a total of 89 infect-
ed animals have died in
various districts of Ma-
harashtra.
Same concept was

CHEETAH, THE
SLEEK SPRINTER,
ARRIVES IN MP FOR
A FRESH BEGINNING
eventy years after
their extinction in
India, Cheetahs are
back. They are Prime
Minister Narendra
Modi’s 72nd birthday gift to In-
dia. The eight big cats translo-
cated to the Kuno National Park
in Madhya Pradesh from Na-
mibia were released into the for-
est by the prime minister to
mark his birthday on Saturday
.
The sleek sprinter of the wild
was hunted down by the lovers
of big game sport with the last
of them being brought down in
1947. Their translocation will
not only restore ecological bal-
ance but also revive the grass-
lands and forests of Kuno Park.
The second coming of chee-
tahs must be welcomed with
crossed fingers as it is an exper-
iment fraught with risks. Such
international translocations in
the wild have low success rates.
Even With the prime minister’s
keen interest in the project vet-
erinarians, park officials and
the MP government all will have
to conspire to ensure its success.
If it succeeds then 12 more chee-
tahs will be translocated from
South Africa.

P
PREZ MURMU TO REPRESENT INDIA AT
QUEEN ELIZABETH II’s FUNERAL
awaharlal Nehru attended
the coronation of Queen Eliz-
abeth in 1952. The Common-
wealth was than a small or-
ganisation. The Queen be-
came Head of Common-
wealth the same year. Till
1947 it was a white man’s
club: United Kingdom, Aus-
tralia, New Zealand and Can-
ada. India and Pakistan be-
came members on becoming
independent. Ceylon fol-
lowed in 1948. In 1957 Ghana
became the eighth member.
Government has taken the
correct decision for Presi-
dent Droupadi Murmu to
represent India at the funeral
of the Queen. She will get to
know many of her counter-
parts. Several hundred Heads
of State and Government
have been invited. Most will
be in London by the Septem-
ber 18. Will President XI of
China and President Putin
attend? The funeral is on the
September 19.
No country can out do the
United Kingdom in planning
and organising ceremonial
events. The late Queen’s jour-
ney from Buckingham Place
to Westminster Hall on Sep-
tember 14 was as memorable
as it was spectacular.
The World is running out
of Monarchies. UK, Japan
followed by Cambodia, Thai-
land, Brunei, the Malay
Kingdoms, Bhutan, Saudi
Arabia and the Gulf King-
doms. The last eight are not
democracies.
Has the British monarchy
a future. The Queen was
widely admired, popular and
respected. King Charles III is
not endowed with these in-
dispensable qualities. I have
met him three or four times.
The first time in February
1975 in New Delhi. He was ac-
companied by Lord Mount-
batten. They stayed in New
Delhi for two days.
I was then Deputy High
Commissioner in London. I
came to New Delhi a couple
of days before the arrival of
Prince Charles and Uncle
Dickie. They left Delhi for
Kathmandu after two days to
attend the coronation of the
King of Nepal. By then
Charles, was somewhat irri-
tated with Mountbatten.
At Palam airport Prince
Charles took me aside and
said, “I would very much like
to come again in October for
a longer stay. If that is con-
venient to you, but without
Uncle Dickie.” “Your Royal
Highness, you are most wel-
come”.
King Charles III is 73 years
of age. Will he attain the age
of his mother? That will cer-
tainly prolong the life of Brit-
ain’s monarchy
.
BHARAT JODO YATRA
Rahul Gandhi is fifty two
years of age. He looks fit and
healthy
. As far as one knows
he has not been a patient ad-
mittedtoahospitalevenonce.
If anyonecompletetheBharat
Jodo Yatra it will be Rahul,
provided he does not decide to
go on a trip outside India.
The most famous yatra
was Gandhiji’s in March-
April 1930, from Sabarmati
Ashram to Dandi to break the
salt laws in March-April 1930.
The Dandi march attracted
worldwide attention.
Some years ago Murli
Manohar Joshiji walked
from South India to Srinagar
to hoist the BJP flag in Lal
Chowk in Srinagar. He was
then President of the BJP.
The late Prime Minister
Chandra Shekherji and for-
mer Madhya Pradesh Chief
Minister, Digvijay Singh,
also undertook shorter
yatras. The Bharat Jodo
Yatra will take 150 days to
reach Srinagar, a distance of
3,500 KM from Kanyakumari.
What is the objective of the
Bharat Jodo Yatra? Bharat
remains united. No worth-
while government will per-
mit dismemberment of the
country. Interest in Rahul’s
yatra will be eroded, if the
number of participants is
dramatically reduced on the
way to Srinagar. If 500 con-
gress walkers reach Srina-
gar, the congress will earn
some ‘cudos’. Its revival is a
very distant dream. The ma-
laise is too deep.
REMEMBERING FEDERER
Roger Federer, the greatest
Tennis player of all time an-
nounced his retirement on
Thursday. He is 41 years of
age. His home is in Basel,
Switzerland. What will he do
now? The Secretary General
of the UN should invite him
to become a roving U.N Am-
bassador for one of its agen-
cies e.g Human Rights Com-
mission.

4 EX-TOP OFFICIALS
OF INDIAN BANK
GET 3-YR JAIL TERM
Firozabad (Agencies): A
court has sent a school
teacher to 20 years jail
for sexually assaulting an
8-year-old boy. The boy
was a student in the same
school where the man
was teaching. The court
also imposed a fine of Rs
30,000 on the man and
ordered him to pay half the
amount to the boy as com-
pensation. The assault took
place on May 14, 2015,
when the accused identified
as Vijay Pal Singh, lured
the boy to come with him
to the roof of the school
building and once there he
sexually abused the child.
Chennai (Agencies): 4
former senior officials of
Indian bank have been
sent to jail for three
years in a `30 crore
loan scam. A CBI court
here sentenced the four
bank officials and two
others to three years of
rigorous imprisonment
with a `10,000 fine each.
The CBI court said Aziz,
then Chief Manager, GV
Srinivasan, then Senior
Manager, Muthiah, then
Senior Manager and S
Arunachalam, then General
Manager, all of Indian Bank,
will undergo three years’
rigorous imprisonment.
Mathura (Agencies): The dozen odd Hindu petitioners
in Mathura, seeking ‘liberation’ of the Shri Krishna
Janmabhoomi from the Shahi Idgah, have been rejoicing
ever since the Varanasi court ruled in favour of the Hindu
petitioners in the Gyanvapi case. The Varanasi district
court ruled that the case was maintainable in the court of
law and rejected the application moved by the Anjuman
Intezamia Masjid Committee that the Places of Worship
Act (Special Provisions) 1991 is applicable in this case.
New Delhi (Agencies): The Central Bureau of Investi-
gation (CBI) on Saturday moved a Delhi court against
Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal
(RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav in the Indian Railway
Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) scam case.
The CBI sought cancellation of bail granted to the Rash-
triya Janata Dal (RJD) leader in the matter. Yadav was
issued a notice by special judge Geetanjali Goel on the
CBI’s plea and his response was sought on the matter.
IN THE COURTYARD
Mahesh Sharma
New Delhi: The Con-
gress party did manage
to save its MLAs from
the BJP in Goa. In July,
when the information
about the breakdown of
the MLA was first re-
ceived, Congress Presi-
dent Sonia Gandhi hur-
riedly sent the party’s
General Secretary
Mukul Wasnik to Goa.
HemetalltheMLAsand
when he came to know
that some MLAs of the
party had made up their
mind to join the BJP
, he
sent five MLAs to Chen-
nai. Digambar Kamat
and Michael Lobo, who
were then trying to
break the party, had a
totalof fiveMLAs,while
eight legislators were
needed to avoid the anti-
defection law. That’s
when the attempt failed.
After that the Con-
gress removed Michael
Lobo as the leader of the
legislature party
. Now
the big question that is
being raised in party
circles is why was Lobo
made a leader after the
election? Lobo has been
in the Congress earlier
but had switched to the
BJP and was a minister
in the BJP government.
Before the elections, he
had left the BJP and re-
turned to the Congress
and the party had given
tickets to both him and
his wife. Both also won
and after winning, the
Congress made him the
leader of the legislature
party
. This was a big
mistake which angered
the old and loyal leaders
of the party, including
Digambar Kamat.
Kamat needed an ex-
cuse for an opportunity
to leave the party. He
was tired of being in
constant opposition
and wanted power. Last
time he was hopeful
that maybe next time
Congress would win.
But when the Con-
gress’s seats fell further,
he made up his mind to
leave the party
.
How did Congress manage to axe its own foot in Goa?

INDIA
Sharat K Verma
New Delhi: In the cur-
rent list of politicians,
only AAP Supremo
Arvind Kejriwal is the
leader who can take a U-
turn on his stands. Take
for example his recent
stand on the Agneepath
scheme. He had com-
pletely opposed the Ag-
neepath plan brought
for four years’ recruit-
ment in the army and
had demanded full-time
jobs instead of making
the youth Agniveers.
But now, he is saying
that he fully supports
the scheme. He is the
only leader of the oppo-
sition who is openly
supporting this plan.
The rest of the opposi-
tion leaders are still op-
posing it or at least not
supporting it. The state
governments are giving
the help to the army
that is being sought in
organizing recruitment
rallies for the inducting
Agniveers, but the Op-
position parties are not
supporting it.
In Punjab also the
state government was to
provide similar help to
the army, but when the
army did not get help in
Punjab, it shot a letter to
the Chief Minister that
if it does not help in or-
ganizing the rallies for
recruitment, then the
army will organize ral-
lies in other states in-
stead of Punjab. Re-
sponding to this letter,
Kejriwal said that he is
not in favor of this
scheme but when the
government has taken a
decision, he fully sup-
ports it. Now just imag-
ine the double talk. If
Kejriwal is not in favor
of any law, then how
can he support the deci-
sion of the government?
And if he thinks his
changing the stance was
right, then why did he
not do so in the case of
agricultural laws?

Shinde, Fadnavis...
regarding fishy land
deals were received by
the CMO, we decided to
review all allotments by
the MIDC during this
period. This is to dis-
criminate between allot-
ments that were as per
proper procedure from
those where improprie-
ty is detected.”
It may be recalled that
Maharashtra Governor
Bhagat Singh Koshiyari
had also cited some deci-
sions taken by the previ-
ous Maha Vikas Aghadi
(MVA) government dur-
ingtheinterimperiodof
the political dispensa-
tion comprising Shiv
Sena, Nationalist Con-
gress Party and Con-
gress, before the new
Maha Yuti government
formally took charge.
First India has learnt
that despite seeking de-
tails of all land allot-
mentsinJune-Julywere
sought on August 03,
2022, the CMO is still
awaiting them; a delay
which it has not taken
kindly
.
On Friday
, Maharash-
tra’s Additional Chief
Secretary (Industries),
Baldev Singh, was sum-
moned by Chief Minis-
ter Eknath Shinde and
Deputy Chief Minister
Devendra Fadnavis to
answer questions relat-
ed to the delay
. “The in-
dustries secretary com-
mitted to submitting the
full list of these land al-
lotments by Monday
(September 19). Once it
comes through, those
fishy deals will be dis-
criminated against and
set aside, while those
taken in genuine inter-
est of industry in Maha-
rashtra will be ratified
and cleared again,” said
a state secretariat offi-
cial.Anotherstatesecre-
tariat official said, “Spe-
cific complaints were

Reacting to the

merly associated with

ships across Maharash-
tra. Many allotments
were based on recom-
mendations, requests
received by the depart-

Shiv Sena, NCP and
Congress across 288 con-
stituencies. Proposals
were also processed at
the request of ministers
from other departments
to synergize joint col-
laborations for indus-
trial progress allied to
their departments as
well.” The move is likely
to result in a bout of liti-
gation as land allottees,
who are expected to
come under scrutiny for
indulging in alleged
‘fishy’ deals, may move
court to stay a govern-
ment rethink on the in-
dustrial plots allotted to

World Bank warns of recession in 2023
Washington (Agencies):
Interest rate hikes by cen-
tral banks around the
world could trigger a global
recession in 2023, the World
Bank has warned, media
reports said. Central banks
have raised rates “with a
degreeof synchronicity not
seen over the past five dec-
ades” to tackle soaring pric-
es, World Bank said.
Raising rates makes bor-
rowing more expensive to
try to bring down the pace
of price rises. But it also
makes loans more costly,
which can slow economic
growth. The warning from
the World Bank came
ahead of the monetary pol-
icy meetings of the US Fed-
eral Reserve and Bank of
England, which are expect-
ed to increase key interest
rates next week. The World
Bank had said that the
global economy is in its
steepest slowdown since
1970, BBC reported. The
World Bank also called on
central banks to coordinate
their actions and “commu-
nicate policy decisions
clearly” to “reduce the de-
gree of tightening needed”.
“Under the circumstanc-
es, even a moderate hit to
the global economy over
the next year could tip it
into recession,” it said.

NO ROOM FOR COMPLACENCY ON THE
INFLATION FRONT: FINANCE MINISTRY
New Delhi: A Finance Ministry report on Saturday underlined the need
for deft management of stocks of agriculture commodities in view
of lower crop-sowing for the Kharif Season, stressing there should
be no room for complacency on the inflation front. Overall, inflation-
ary pressures in India appear to be
on a decline with a pre-emptive set of
administrative measures by the govern-
ment, agile monetary policy and easing
of international commodity prices and
supply-chain bottlenecks, according to
the monthly Economic Review released
by the Finance Ministry. However, it
said, there is no “room for complacency
on the inflation front as lower crop-
sowing for the Kharif season calls for
deft management of stocks of agricul-
tural commodities and market prices without unduly jeopardising farm
exports.” India’s rice production could fall by 10-12 million tonnes
during the Kharif season this year due to a fall in paddy sowing area,
Food Secretary Sudhanshu Pandey had said earlier this month. The
Kharif season contributes about 80% of India’s total rice production.
Economicgrowthtoimprovesoon:Govt
New Delhi (Agencies): As
contact-intensive services
have revived and there is
growth in private consump-
tion, economic growth is
expected to improve in the
coming months, the month-
ly economic review re-
leased by Finance Ministry
on Saturday said.
The review noted that as
external pressures will di-
minish, inflationary pres-
sures are expected to wear
down. India’s GDP growth
was 13.5 per cent in the
first quarter of the cur-
rent fiscal. “Increase in
private consumption and
higher capacity utilisation
in the current year has
further reinvigorated the
capex cycle to take the in-
vestment rate in the first
quarter of 2022-23 to one of
its highest levels in the
last decade,” it said.
Released by the depart-
ment of economic services,
it further noted that with
the economic growth in the
first quarter of the current
fiscal much ahead of the
pre-pandemic period, i.e.
the first quarter of 2019-20.
“The real GDP in the first
quarter of 2022-23 is now

further said that sustained
growth in government’s

tal expenditure during the

RBI to bring card tokenisation
norms into effect from Oct 1
Mumbai (PTI): The Re-
serve Bank of India (RBI) is
ready to bring its card-on-
filetokenisationnormsinto
effect from October 1 after
various complaints were
filed regarding the misuse
of debit or credit cards.
Several people were
cheated in the last few
years by cyber frauds be-
cause they have stored
their card data on the mer-
chants website for future
payments.
Lets us understand what
these new norms are and
why you should tokenise
your card.
Firstly, tokenisation
means the details of your
cards such as 16-digit num-
ber, names, expiry dates
and codes which you used
to save earlier for the fu-
ture payments will now be
replaced by a token. The
token is used by the
merchant`s website for the
transaction.
The RBI is implement-
ing these norms of tokeni-
sation in order to secure
the card details of the cus-
tomers. Currently, the
bank card details are saved
by a merchant during a
transaction.
If, the merchant`s web-
site is hacked, the details
of the customers will be
exposed.Post implementa-
tion of these norms all the
customers data will be
with the bank and not with
the merchant website.
Securing/Tokenisation
also helps you save the
hassle of inputting your
complete card details each
time. Customers need not
have to pay any charges for
availing this service.
Securing/Tokenisation
also helps you save the
hassle of inputting your
complete card details each
time. Customers need not
have to pay any charges for
availing this service.
Further, banks will also
provide a portal to their
customers to view or man-
age their tokenised cards
to ensure no fraud.
CUSTOMERS HAVE TO FOLLOW THESE
STEPS TO GET THEIR CARDS TOKENISED
Step 1: Visit your favourite
online application/website to pur-
chase grocery, pay bills or order
food and initiate a transaction.
Step 2: In the check-out page,
select HDFC Bank Credit/Debit
Card and provide CVV.
Step 3: Tick mark the check box
“Secure your Card” or “Save
Card as per RBI guidelines”.
Step 4: Enter the OTP received
on your registered mobile
number.
Step 5: Congratulations!!! Your
card details are now secured.
Once the customer tokenised
their cards they will be able to
recognise their details on the
merchants website using the last
4 four digits of the cards, which
is the only data the merchant will
be able to save on their portal.

Mumbai: The Motor
Accident Claims Tri-
bunal (MACT) in
Mumbai gave a rare
decision by increas-
ing the sum of com-
pensation sought by a
family by almost Rs5
lakh.
Sanjay Ingale (39),
the sole bread earner of
his family died in an ac-
cident that took place at
the Mumbai-Pune Ex-
pressway on February
11, 2016. He was coming
from Airoli to Shirur
when the incident took
place.
While Ingale was re-
pairing a mechanical
fault of his truck that
stood at Mumbai-Pune
Expressway, a trailer
coming at a very high
speed, dashed into his
truck causing its front
tyre to go over Ingale,
who died on the spot.
Since the family did
not have any evidence
to prove that Sanjay
was 39 years old, the tri-
bunal went for the age
mentioned as 44 in the
advanced post-mortem
certificate. His family
also did not have docu-
ments to show that In-
gale was earning
Rs10,000 per month, so
the Tribunal took
Rs8,000 per month as
his income. The annual
income was thus, taken
to be Rs96,000, factoring
25% more for the pros-
pects of the deceased.
“Yearly income was
Rs1,20,000 and out of
which 1/4th was de-
ducted for personal ex-
penses. As per Supreme
Court guidelines, the
suitable multiplier is 14
with the age, thus the
loss of dependency was
Rs12,60,000. The fixed
funeral expenses and
loss of estate will be
Rs15,000. With a 10% in-
crease in conventional
heads every three years,
the family is entitled to
receive Rs14,69,000 and
added a rate of interest
of 7% per annum,” the
Bench directed.

move further, the police
cleared the road and
moved the youngsters
aside by hitting lathis on
the ground. There was
no lathi charge as such
and no one was injured.
We detained some of

ter questioning,” assert-
ed Shewale.

airport on Saturday
conducted a mock drill
along with multiple
internal and external
holders to assess its
security preparedness
at the facility
.
As part of the simu-

carried out a full-scale
bomb threat drill for
about 1.35 hours at ter-
minal-2 (T2) beginning
from 1.02 pm on Satur-
day without causing
any inconvenience to
passengers or any im-
pact on the facility’s op-
erations, officials said
in a statement.
The surprise drill
tested not only the air-
port’s disaster response
system, but also its abil-
ity to calmly coordinate
a resolution amid a cri-
sis situation, the air-
port operator said, add-
ing that such emergen-
cy mock drills are held
from time to time, to
test the alertness, effi-
ciency and prepared-
ness of the airport staff.
The simulation is also
a part of the efforts to
improvethesafetymeas-
ures which are highly
critical in cases of a
threat to the life of pas-
sengers and employees.
International Civil

WHAT IS THE REAL
TARGET OF
RAHUL’S ‘YATRA’?
Rahul and Congress
are in awe of the
initial successes of the
‘BharatJodoYatra’.This
visit of Rahul is also in-
tendedtogiveabigjump
to the Congress’s seat
countin2024.Keepingin
view the ‘24 elections,
Rahul’s ‘Bharat Jodo
Yatra’ispassingthrough
the same states where
the Congress is seeing
some ray of hope, where
they have a cadre, a lead-
er, and thus, a hope.
Where there is no hope,
likeinUP
,the‘Yatra’has
been reduced to 5 days.
Those states have also
been left where the Con-
gress is dependent on its
allies, such as Tamil
Nadu, where the Con-
gress’s journey lasted
only 3 days. The
journey started
from Kanyaku-
mariandreached
Kerala on the
thirddaybecause
theCongresspoli-
tics in Tamil
Nadu is de-
p e n -
dent
o n
DMK.Rahul’sjourneyis
to last 19 days in a small
state like Kerala, 21 days
in Karnataka, and 13
days in Telangana. That
is, in a journey of 148
days, Rahul is spending
53 days only in those 3
states of the South. Sim-
ilarly
, the assembly elec-
tions are to be held in
Rajasthan and Madhya
Pradeshnextyear,where
the Congress wants to
maintain its previous
performance. Rahul’s
journey in Rajasthan is
of 21 days and in Mad-
hya Pradesh it is of 16
days. In the 2019 Lok
Sabha elections, there
were 29 seats where the
BJP defeated the Con-
gress by a small margin
and 57 seats where the
BJP’s victory margin
over the Congress was
less than one lakh.
So, this time
on these 86
Lok Sabha
seats, Con-
gress wants
to put its full
emphasis and
wants to at
least double its
seats as com-
pared to
2019.
IS DIDI’S CHARISMA
FADING AWAY?
Trinamool leader
Mamata Banerjee is
tryingtobecomethenew
head of the Opposition
unit, but her own house
seems to have been
marred with strife. Take
the example of Goa, the
champion land of defec-
tion, from where Luiz-
inho Faleiro, came to
TMC just before the Goa
elections, didn’t even
contest the Assembly
elections, and went
straight to the Rajya
Sabha. Now it is being
said that Mamata is an-
gry with him these days.
Flerio,aformerGoaCM,
has won seven assembly
elections, despite this
Mamata did not
give him a place
in the TMC’s
Goacorecom-
mitteeasDidi
is probably
aware that
these days, Fa-
leiro is giving
saffron color
to his
dreams,
so in
the Presidential and
Vice- Presidential elec-
tions, he supported the
NDA and towed a line
other than TMC. His
votes were in support of
Droupadi Murmu and
JagdeepDhankhar.Now
Didi has been informed
Faleiro may go to the
BJP’s court very soon.
Sourcesrevealthatama-
jor reason for this is the
factthattheFaleirofam-
ily has a large and luxu-
rious resort in the coast-
al area, which still falls
under the legal defini-
tion of illegal and legal-
izing it can take up to
three years. Not even six
months have passed
since BJP government
was formed in Goa and 8
Congress MLAs have
already shifted to
BJP
. There is a
huge void in the-
name of Opposi-
tion,soFaleirois
being cautious
doesn’t want to
take risk.
WILL SUSHMITA
ALSO FOLLOW
LUIZINHO
FALEIRO’S PATH?
Sushmita Dev, who
hails from a big po-
litical family of Assam,
who left Congress and
joined TMC, has also
made up her mind to
leaveTMC.Infact,Sush-
mita is worried about
her political future.
When she left the Con-
gress, she used to be an
important member of
Rahul Gandhi’s core
team. Sushmita hoped
that Mamata would at
least send her to RS. But
this didn’t happen and
Sushmita’s hopes were
shattered. Sushmita is
alsowellawarethatwin-
ning the LS polls in As-
sam on a TMC ticket is
nothing less than mira-
cle. So, she has already
started exploring the
new door of possibili-
ties.Suchisthesituation
now that when TMC’s
core group meeting was
going on in Guwahati
andinsteadof Sushmita
attending that meeting,
she went to meet Assam
CM Himanta Biswa Sar-
ma, Didi scolded Sush-
mita to which Sushmita
replied naively and said,
“I had gone to talk to the
CM that’s why so many
atrocitiesarebeingcom-
mitted against the peo-
ple of our party in the
state?” Didi couldn’t say
anything further!
WHAT DOES
TEJASHWI THINK
FOR NITISH?
Recently, Bihar’s
Deputy CM and
RJD leader Tejashwi
Yadav held a tea party
at his house and invited
senior leaders of his
party who
couldn’t find
a place in
the new coalition gov-
ernment of Bihar de-
spite their seniority.
Tejashwi was sharing
his mind with these
leaders when suddenly
a senior RJD leader who
came from Munger
asked Tejashwi, “You
made Nitish Kumar
again the CM while his
vote percentage is less
in front of our party at
only 10-12%, and on rid-
ing our vote share, he is
dreaming of becoming
nation’s PM in 2024.
And what have you got
in return, only the post
of Deputy CM?” Tejash-
wi listened carefully
and patiently answered,
“You are senior to me in
both age experience.
Try to understand that
in Bihar there are 40 LS
seats. Congress and
Left will fight on 4-6
seats in 2024. Out of the
remaining 34 seats, 17-
17 seats will be left for
RJD and JDU. Our tar-
get is that this time we
have to win all these 17
seats by employing our
entire might. Now it is
up to Nitish ji that how
many seats he can win
out of his share of 17.
Political observers tell
that Nitish ji can get 12
seats, so can anyone
with 12 seats be a seri-
ous PM candidate? Del-
hi’s media will also
have to understand
this.”
...AND FINALLY
In the recently con-
cludedRaipursession
of theRSS,inwhichBJP
President JP Nadda and
Organisation General
Secretary BL Santosh
had specially come to
Raipur to attend, there
was a rift in relations be-
tween the Sangh and the
BJP
. The Sangh believes
thatinlastfewyears,the
BJP has achieved the de-
sired political expan-
sion, but in comparison,
Sangh hasn’t been able
to give desired expan-
sion to its organisation.
The Sangh is also said to
beangrywithBJPthatit
wasn’t involved in
changing K’taka’s CM,
whereBJPhasexpanded

Sangh’s opinion wasn’t

ible spectrum.
In combina-
tions to create
all other colours.
Green fashion with its
motto “Green envi-
ronment- upcycle
fashion” stroke as a
sustainable idea,
with managing the
great number of
cut-offs and second-
hand pieces with the
efforts of our hard-
working team and
their simple yet talent-
ed machines and
hands. It is a symbol of
happiness and peace.
Even if you do not
wear green clothes and
only use green acces-
sories, you will convey
this freshness and
peace to others. In the
15 century, green was
used for wedding
dresses because it was
considered a symbol of
fertility
. Green the col-
our of life, renewal,
nature and energy, is
associated with
meanings of
growth, harmo-
ny, freshness,
safety, fertility,
and environ-
ment. The colour green
has healing power and
is understood to be the
most restful and relax-
ing colour for the hu-
man eye to view. Green
can help enhance vi-
sion, stability and en-
durance. Green takes
up more space in the
spectrum visible to the
human eye and it is the
dominant colour in the
natural.
It is a natural choice
in interior design as an
ideal background or
backdrop because we
as humans are so used
toseeingiteverywhere.
In different cultures,
green carries different
meanings, the colour
green is symbolic of
the happiness, peace
and harmony that the
deities bring to Hindus,
too little green can
cause feelings of apa-
thy and fear of rejec-
tion. Green gemstones
are believed to help cre-
ate balance, promote
change or growth, in-
crease feelings of hope-
fulness and optimism
and break the emotion-
al demands of others.
Different shades, tints
and hues of green have
different meanings.
For example, dark
greenrepresentsgreed,
ambition and wealth,
while yellow-green
stands for sickness,
jealousy and cowardice
and the olive green rep-
resents the traditional
colour of peace.
