rally after Kharagpur on March 27. On March 31, a 60-metre section of a flyover under construc-tion collapsed in the heart of Kolkata killing close to 30 people and injuring about 90. IVRCL, a Hy-derabad-based construc-tion company behind the project, had immediately reacted to the tragedy say-ing it was an act of God. The Prime Minister also

targeted the prevalence of a building material syndi-cate that is allegedly run by leaders and supporters of the ruling party and is now being blamed as a key contributor to the di-saster. “The syndicate has cast its net. Syndicates have swallowed the entire system,” Modi said, and pointed a finger at Ma-mata Banerjee for playing politics with the disaster.

The HC Wednesday sought government’s response, without issuing any notice, and posted

the matter for hearing on May 4 and posted the matter for hearing on May 4. The di-vision bench, led by chief justice R Subhash Red-dy, asked the government pleader “to seek instruc-tion from the state govern-ment” on the petition. The petition has been moved by one Chandravadan Rangildas Dhruv, who appeared in the court as a party-in-person. He al-leged in the plea that Pan-

dya shouldn’t have been appointed as chairperson as she is a “political per-son” who had contested elections in the past. “Pan-dya is associated with the BJP. There is no provision of appointment of politi-cal personalities on such an important post and therefore the appointment of Jagruti Pandya….be cancelled with immediate effect,” the petitioner said.

The Ganja was soon re-covered but those carry-ing if slipped away.We keep a vigil in trains com-ing from the eastern states for nabbing the smug-glers of Ganja.

Basit said that, “ There shouldn’t be any doubt that Pak wants to have a normal & peaceful relationship with India”. In a veiled jibe towards India, Basit said, “ We all are aware of those who seek to create unrest in Pakistan and destabilise it. They are bound to fail as the people of Pakistan are united to effectively

QUOTE OF THE

DAYWater crisis: In the lead up to a summer of disputes

On March 13, NTPC’s 2,100 MW Farakka Super Ther-mal Power Station in West Bengal had to stop gener-ation, given a declining availability of cooling water from the Farakka feeder canal. This hit power supply in five states, affecting 38,000 households, while leav-ing the town of Farakka without potable water. On the Ganga, ferries were suspended, while 13 barges carry-ing coal were left stranded. The Ganga, it seems, is run-ning shallow. With Haryana’s fields increasingly run-ning dry, the Jat agitation obscures an agrarian crisis. The passage of the Punjab Sutlej Yamuna Link Canal Bill (2016) by the Punjab assembly on a non-partisan basis has unilaterally sparked a crisis in riparian man-agement. Water availability in India’s 91 reservoirs has now reached its lowest level in a decade, touching 29% of storage capacity. Eighty-five per cent of the coun-try’s water needs are now supplied by rapidly declin-ing aquifers. With increasing tanker dependence, water conflicts are arising — prohibitory orders have been imposed in villages in Latur, Maharashtra, while wa-ter supply to local swimming pools has been cut off. Short-sighted political tactics, combined with irriga-tion inefficiency, have served to make water disputes intractable. Water is a commodity that resists commod-ification — a recipe for market failure. States have of-ten cited the Harmon Doctrine, ignoring externalities and past investments, to support the idea of absolute sovereignty over water flowing through its territories. More successfully, the social contract approach has fo-cused on deciding on an initial allocation of property rights and creating a mechanism to trade such rights. The Inter-States Water Disputes Act (1956) was enact-ed to deal with conflicts, creating adjudication tribunals where direct negotiations failed. However, such tribu-nal decisions have often not been accepted by disput-ing parties, leaving arbitration as a non-binding mech-anism. Interventions by the Centre, as in the Ravi-Beas dispute, have also been unsuccessful. India’s water settlement dispute mechanisms remain opaque and ambiguous. As rivers generally cross state boundaries, the construction of equitable mechanisms for allocat-ing river flows has been a constitutional legacy. With a plethora of stakeholders — state governments, Parlia-ment, courts, water tribunals, central ministries and civ-il society — water disputes have remained a persistent phenomenon. With growing consensus that many such disputes are increasingly intractable, existing institu-tional arrangements have clearly failed to generate out-comes that focus on growth and the national interest. The Cauvery dispute, led to 26 meetings between 1968 and 1990 at the ministerial level, between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, with no consensus reached.

The number of people living with diabetes has nearly quadrupled to 422 million over 35 years, with most living in developing countries, the WHO warned today, adding the world is facing an “un-relenting march” of the disease which now affects nearly one in 11 adults. Factors driving this dra-matic rise include overweight and obesity, accord-ing to a major new report by World Health Organ-isation (WHO) released ahead of the World Health Day. The report warned that the diabetes cases have risen to 422 million in 2014 from 108 million in 1980, 314 million more. “If we are to make any headway in halting the rise in diabetes, we need to rethink our daily lives: to eat healthily, be phys-ically active, and avoid excessive weight gain,” said Dr Margaret Chan, WHO Director-General.

The World Trade Organization on Thursday re-vised its 2016 global trade forecast downward by more than one percentage point, warning that a slowdown in China and broad market volatili-ty continued to threaten growth. In September, the WTO estimated that global trade would rise by 3.9% this year, but lowered that projection to 2.8%, in an updated forecast. “Trade is still reg-istering positive growth, albeit at a disappointing rate,” WTO director general Robert Azevedo said in a statement. Various factors were continuing to apply downward pressure on global commerce, the Geneva-based body said. The rout on commodities prices has shown few signs of reversing, while the full extent of the slowdown in China -- the world’s top commodities consumer -- remains uncertain. The WTO listed “a sharper-than-expected slowing in China (and) worsening financial market volatil-ity” as factors that could further suppress global trade this year. But, the 2.8% growth forecast could prove to be an underestimate if efforts by the Eu-ropean Central Bank to stimulate eurozone growth are successful, the WTO said

This was Australia first outing in the round-robin league, while India prevailed 2-1 over Japan yester-day in an unimpressive campaign opener. India paid the penalty for poor clearance and yawn-ing gaps in their circle, which presented Austra-lia two of their five goals. Starting with four circle penetrations in the initial 10 minutes, the Indians failed to capitalize on an early chance when S V Sunil went too far ahead and failed to collect a fine diagonal ball from Chandana Thimmaiah in the third minute.

Hope he continues his form in the IPL,” he said. Sri Lan-ka pacer Lasith Malinga, who failed to feature for his national side in World T20 due to injury, is most likely to miss the first half of the IPL, according to Ponting.
