A CORRESPONDENT
NEW DELHI, Feb 17:
With the Centre’s decision
to end the Free Move-
ment Regime along the In-
dia-Myanmar border, the
Ministry of Home Affairs
(MHA) has given approv-
al to the Land Ports Au-
thority of India (LPAI) for
preparation of feasibility
report, DPR and survey
related to upgrade of 25
land customs stations into
integrated check posts in
the northeastern states.
The initiative was taken for
augmentation of trade be-
tween the northeastern re-
gion and ASEAN to boost up
economic prosperity and in-
dustrial development of the
region.
As per government data,
exports from the Northeast
increased from USD 442.58
million in 2018-19 to USD
504.11 million in 2019-20,
MHA green signal for upgrade of
region’s land customs stations
into integrated check posts
Moreh land port
registering a growth of 13.9
per cent. Almost 50 per cent
of the total exports from the
region was carried out
through the border points of
the region.
“To strengthen the export
linkage with ASEAN, the
government is considering
starting direct flights to these
countries under the UDAN
(International) scheme, be-
sides setting up of more land
customs stations and their
subsequent upgrade to inte-
grated check posts,” sourc-
es said.
The government is also
exploring options to open
consulate offices of ASEAN
countries in the northeastern
states.
There are three notified
land customs stations along
the India-Myanmar border –
Nampong in Arunachal
Pradesh, Moreh in Manipur
and Zokhawthar in Mizoram.
Moreh LCS is now being
developed as an integrated
check post. “To augment the
trade between the northeast-
ern region and Myanmar, a
project agreement for the
establishment of a modern
integrated check post at Tamu
on the Myanmar side (Moreh
on the Indian side) was signed
between the Indian embassy
at Yangon and the Ministry of
Construction of Myanmar in
2022,” sources said.
Earlier in November 2022,
the Union Ministry of Civil
Aviation has accorded its ap-
proval to SpiceJet for sched-
uled air services (seven flights
a week) on the Imphal-Man-
dalay-Imphal sector. The
Department of Civil Aviation
of Myanmar has also issued a
validation certificate to Spice-
Jet as a foreign air operator.

Greek PM to
visit India
next week
NEW DELHI, Feb 17:
Greek Prime Minister Kyria-
kos Mitsotakis will pay a two-
day state visit to India from Feb-
ruary 21 with an aim to further
deepen the strategic partnership
between the two countries.
It would be the first visit to
India by a head of state of
Greece after a gap of 15 years.
India-Greece relations were
elevated to ‘strategic partner-
ship’ during Modi’s visit to
Greece in August last year.
Mitsotakis will be the chief
guest and keynote speaker at
the Raisina Dialogue in the na-
tional capital, the Ministry of
External Affairs (MEA) said on
Saturday, announcing his visit.
The Greek Prime Minister
will be accompanied by senior
officials and a high-powered
business delegation.
“Prime Minister Mitso-
takis’s visit is expected to fur-
ther strengthen and deepen
the strategic partnership be-
tween India and Greece,” the
MEA said. Mitsotakis will also
visit Mumbai before returning
to Athens.
“Prime Minister Narendra
Modi and PM Mitsotakis will
hold bilateral discussions and
Prime Minister Modi will also
host a lunch banquet in honour
of the visiting dignitary,” the
MEA said in a statement.
It said India-Greece rela-
tions are based on shared cul-
tural values, commitment to
foster economic growth, col-
laboration in the fields of secu-
rity and defence, shipping,
maritime and marked by con-
vergence on regional and glo-
bal issues.
The two countries have also
been cooperating closely in var-
ious multilateral forums. – PTI

Staff Reporter
AZARA, Feb 17: The smoke
emanating from the Guwahati
Municipal Corporation (GMC)
dumping ground located at
Belortal (Paschim Boragaon)
near Pamohi canal connecting
Deepor Beel has been causing
massive pollution in the area .
The villagers of Pamohi,
Deochatal, Maghuapara and
Boropara have complained
that heavy pollution has been
caused in the area by the
smoke emitted from burning
the pile of waste at the dump-
ing ground.
“We have appealed to the
GMC authority to take nec-
essary steps, but no measure
has been initiated till now,”
the villagers alleged.
The Deepor Beel Suraksha
Mancha (DBSM) president
Henri Devid Teron and sec-
retary Pramod Kalita have al-
ready submitted a memoran-
dum to the Pollution Control
Board, Assam in this regard.
They added that despite as-
surance from the authorities,
no action has been taken so far.
It may be mentioned here
that the GMC authority had
set up the dumping ground
covering 60 bighas of land be-
longing to the Housing Board
at Belortal (Paschim Bora-
gaon) near Pamohi canal con-
necting Deepor Beel in Au-
gust, 2021.
GUWAHATI, Feb 17: A new two-storey building with-
in Ambikagiri Uddyan was ceremonially inaugurated to-
day in the presence of members of the Ambikagiri Ud-
dyan Samiti and local residents.
This new building stands as a testament to the dedi-
cation and generosity of Pankaj Datta and his family,
who donated it in memory of their beloved parents,
Late Pratap Datta and Late Kunjalata Datta, a press
release stated.
The newly-constructed building is poised to meet
the longstanding needs of the local residents by provid-
ing essential facilities for community gatherings and
activities. In addition to an office room, the building
features a conference hall, offering a space for meetings
and other events.
The ceremony commenced with a solemn religious
program. Following this, the building was ceremonially
handed over to the Ambikagiri Uddyan Samiti. Members
present at the event expressed their heartfelt gratitude to
the Datta family for their invaluable contribution.
GUWAHATI, Feb 17: The All
Assam MGNREGA Employees’
Development Council has criti-
cized the State government for its
decision regarding non-regulariza-
tion of service of the contractual
employees of Panchayat and Rural
Development department.
Recently, in the Assembly, Pan-
chayat and Rural Development de-
partment minister Ranjeet Kumar
Dass informed that these employ-
ees have been appointed through
terms and condition of contact
agreement and there is no provi-
sion to regularize their services.
The Council announced that it will
start a democratic movement if the
State government does not take any
step to protect their future.

BPF confident of
winning Kokrajhar,
Darrang-Udalguri
constituencies
PRANJAL BHUYAN
GUWAHATI, Feb 17: The
Bodoland People’s Front
(BPF) has exuded confidence
about securing the Kokrajhar
and the Darrang-Udalguri
constituencies in the forth-
coming Lok Sabha polls.
Speaking to The Assam
Tribune on Friday, BPF gen-
eral secretary Maneswar
Brahma said that the Hagra-
ma Mohilary-led party will
refrain from entering into tie-
ups with any other outfit in
the 2024 General Elections.
“We will field our candi-
dates from the Kokrajhar and
the Darrang-Udalguri con-
stituencies in the Lok Sabha
polls and BPF will win both
seats. We are not going to
have alliance with any other
party,” Brahma, a former
three-time MLA, said.
He added that the BPF has
intensified its organizational
and poll-related activities in
the Bodoland Territorial Re-
gion (BTR).
“Induction programmes
are going on at all the blocks
in the BTR. Thousands of
members of other political
parties like UPPL, BJP, Con-
gress and AIUDF are joining
our party. We are undertak-
ing various election-related
activities in the areas falling
under the Kokrajhar and the
Darrang-Udalguri seats.
There has also been an infu-
sion of young blood into our
party’s fold. First-time vot-
ers are showing special en-
thusiasm towards the BPF,”
Brahma said.
The BPF is yet to formally
announce its Lok Sabha poll
nominees.
Asked if the BPF could
support any other party in
constituencies like Dhubri
and Barpeta where it has
some support base, Brahma
said, “No decision has been
taken in this regard so far. We
have not thought about that
matter.”
He said that the BPF will
enter the electoral fray high-
lighting local issues of the
BTR.
“We will focus on local is-
sues. After all, we are a re-
gional party. We represent
the wishes and aspirations of
the common people, irre-
spective of caste and commu-
nity. The BPF is committed
to fulfilling the developmen-
tal issues of this region,”
Brahma said.
He termed the incumbent
UPPL-led Bodoland Territo-
rial Council (BTC) adminis-
tration as “one hundred per
cent failure.”
“Even in the last BTC polls
of 2020, our party had se-
cured 17 out of the total 40
seats, while UPPL and BJP
got 12 and nine, respective-
ly. We were and we remain
the largest and strongest
party in the BTR. Even those
who had supported UPPL in
the BTC elections are now
flocking back to the BPF. It
will be reflected in the results
of the Lok Sabha polls. Our
performance this time will
be much better compared to
all previous elections,” Brah-
ma said.
To a question regarding the
BPF’s likely stand in case of
a hung Parliament after the
Lok Sabha polls, he said, “It
is too early to speculate about
such things.”

prize distribution ceremony
were attended by Anusuya
Barua, general secretary of

sam and Suranjana Goswami,
district programme officer at
Samagra Shiksha Assam
(Kamrup-M).

Not quite ‘smart’
Guwahati – touted as the future gateway to South East
Asia – has once again figured among the worst performers
in the all-India Smart City rankings. In fact, this pathetic
count has been a conspicuous trend for years ever since
the Smart City Mission was launched. Significantly, Guwa-
hati was among the country’s original 20 cities selected
under the mission. This depressing trend is an authentic
rebuttal of the State Government’s tall claims of develop-
ing Guwahati in recent years. Several other north-eastern
cities have also figured at the bottom of the latest list –
something that should be a wake-up call for the respective
State governments. As for Guwahati, even a cursory look
at the city makes it amply clear where the rot lies. Every
developmental activity is undertaken in the most haphaz-
ard and unprofessional manner, laying bare the complete
lack of coordination among the various authorities respon-
sible for maintaining the city’s civic health. Indeed, the
lapses on the part of the authorities have reduced the city
to a cesspool of filth and dirt and it will be no exaggeration
to say that the cityscape today resembles a war-ravaged
zone with scattered rubbles and debris, potholed roads,
and a perennial cloak of dust being the defining points of
the city. It also reflects poorly on the authorities that some
much-publicized exercises as part of the Smart City project
such as water ATMs, bio-toilets, etc., have come a cropper,
with taxpayers’ money going down the drain. As none is
answerable for this fiasco and chaos, the status quo per-
sists. A spurt in construction activities, especially flyovers,
undertaken in gross violation of dust pollution-checking
norms has triggered severe air pollution for the past cou-
ple of years with the authorities completely ignoring this
grave health hazard. Children and the elderly have been
the worst hit by the air pollution but who cares? The pro-
longed dust pollution has also caused a spurt in respiratory
illness among citizens, with the GMCH citing a disturbing-
ly high incidence of respiratory disorders. All this war-
rants our authorities to wake up from their slumber and
address the ills plaguing this urban landscape through sus-
tainable solutions. It is also imperative to facilitate project
implementation in sync with the city’s natural environment
so that there is no uncalled-for modernization while devel-
oping the riverfront and the Deepor Beel.
B
anikanta Kakati (1894-1952)
occupies a very important
place in the history of Indian
scholarship. His contributions
to three disciplines viz. Linguistics,
Literary Criticism and Cultural An-
thropology or Sociology demonstrate
his excellence as a scholar. The total
output of his linguistic, literary and
sociological work is not large, but in
each he broke new grounds. Banikan-
ta’s first love was linguistics. He was
one of those few Indians who laid the
foundation for the scientific study of
New-Indo-Aryan languages. His mon-
umental work, Assamese, Its Forma-
tion and Development (1941) is one of
the earliest works on modern Indian
languages.
Kakati is regarded as the first ma-
jor critic of Assamese literature. The
period in which he started writing
was a period of romantic upsurge.
The period is notable for the emer-
gence of a significant band of poets.
Although a few writers including Lak-
shminath Bezbaroa (1864-1938) at-
tempted their hands in literary criti-
cism, their writings were mostly
confined to appreciative and emotion-
al statements. Criticism in the true
sense of the term did not flourish.
The mantle fell on Kakati who was
well- equipped for the task. As a bril-
liant student of English, he studied
European literature and knew the art
of criticism. He had profound knowl-
edge of Sanskrit literature. He also
involved himself deeply in the study
of cultural, literary and religious tra-
dition of Assam with the primary de-
sire of invigorating the Assamese cul-
tural heritage. Therefore, at a time
when almost all the writers applied
themselves to the creative literary
efforts under the inspiration of Eng-
lish romanticism, Kakati took up the
task of unfolding the literary treas-
ures of the past.
True criticism always relies on
comparison. It is through compara-
tive method of analysis that a critic
can strike a convincing note in his
criticism. Kakati had the ability for
that. He had the ability to illustrate
his analysis with elaborate examples
from European and Sanskrit litera-
ture. For example, in discussing the
role played by the Bargits, the de-
votional lyrics composed by Sanka-
radeva and Madhabdeva in grand
classical style, Kakati by way of
comparison has referred to the “No-
ble Numbers” of the English poet,
Herrick. While examining the func-
tions of the Sutradhara, the central
figure of the Ankiya Natas of the
Vaishnava age, he has drawn an anal-
ogy of the character with the cho-
rus in Greek drama. In his essay en-
titled Sahityat Karun Rasa (Pathet-
ic sentiment in literature), perhaps
the earliest essay written by Kaka-
ti, he, in order to help our under-
standing has picked up elaborate
examples of Sanskrit, English and
Greek literatures. Kakati has ap-
plied the same aesthetic norms in
the judgement of the Assamese lit-
erature of the Romantic age. But his
criticism here is limited only to a
few essays most of which were writ-
ten as prefaces to some anthologies
of poems. However, one can find nu-
merous examples of Kakati’s crea-
tivity in these writings as well. One
of these examples is his essay on
Tumi (Thou), a long poem by Am-
bikagiri Raichoudhury (1885-1967).
Banikanta Kakati’s unique quali-
ties as a scholar rank him as the fore-
most critic in Assamese literature.
His critical writings bear the stamp
of his scholarship, his sense of bal-
ance and his utmost restraint in the
use of words.
Nevertheless, we should not ig-
nore the limitations of Kakati as a
critic. Although Kakati has em-
ployed the comparative method in
his assessments, in most cases there
is no detailed analysis of the com-
parisons. The most obvious limita-
tion of Kakati is that he confined him-
self to the romantic aesthetics of the
nineteenth century and did not go
beyond them. What he always em-
phasized was the intensity of feeling
in a piece of literature. Kakati’s em-
phasis on intensity is like Mathew
Arnold’s ‘high seriousness’. But this
aesthetic norm adhered to by Kakati
cannot be applied to all artistic en-
deavours. That is why he could not
appreciate the new poetry in free
verse or in other words, the post-
war poetry which, he thought, did
not appeal sufficiently even to the
heart of the poets themselves.
Kakati did not take as much inter-
est in modern literature as he did in
ancient writings. Perhaps he did not
have enough time for it. His first
love, as I have said earlier, is linguis-
tics. His second love was sociology
or social Anthropology to which he
made significant contribution by try-
ing to analyse the primitive beliefs
and practices on modern scientific
line and to explore the extra Aryan
motifs in the myths and legends of
Assam. That Banikanta Kakati was
an advocate of Assamese national-
ism is quite evident in some of his
writings. In this connection special
references can be made to his es-
says like Bezbarua and Jatiya Chait-
nya. According to him, the chief aim
of literature is to awake national
sentiment in the minds of the peo-
ple. His predecessor Ambikagiri Ra-
ichoudhury and his contemporary
Prasannalal Choudhury were also
strong advocate of Assamese nation-
alism. But there were, however, dif-
ferences in the attitudes of these
three great sons of Assam. while
Ambikagiri and Prasannalal were
stern and obstinate, Kakati was so-
ber and moderate.

Steps to ensure safety, Young jurists asked to always

dignity of people of Teli
community demanded
GUWAHATI, Feb 17: The As-
sam Pradesh Tailik Sahu Ma-
hasabha, has demanded that the
Central and State governments
take adequate steps to ensure
the safety and dignity of the
people of the Teli community.
Submitting a memorandum
in this regard to the District
Commissioner of Kamrup Met-
ropolitan district, Sumit Satta-
wan today, the Mahasabha ex-
pressed its anger over a politi-
cian’s recent indecent com-
ment on caste referring to
Prime Minister Narendra
Modi, a press release stated.
The national unit of the Ma-
hasabha, which has been in ex-
istence since 1912, has clari-
fied that ever since the back-
ward class provision was im-
plemented, the Teli caste has
been enlisted as a Backward
Class in almost all the States
of India. The State-level organ-
ization of the Teli caste of Gu-
jarat – Samast Gujarati Modh
Modi Samaj has also clarified
that the Teli caste in Gujarat
was included in the list of Back-
ward Classes long before the
year 2000.
The State unit represented
by Kamalesh Kumar Gupta,
state president, Umesh Kumar
Sah, state general secretary,
Parshuram Gupta, organization
secretary, Rahul Gupta, youth
joint secretary, Ashutosh Pras-
ad and Ramnath Sah, has ap-
pealed to the Assam Chief
Minister, Social Justice and
Empowerment Minister, and
the Prime Minister, the Union
Home Minister and the Union
Minister of Social Justice and
Empowerment to ensure the
safety and dignity of the peo-
ple of the Teli caste. They also
demanded that arrangements
should be made to prevent an-
yone from commenting on this
caste in the future.
abide by the Constitution
GUWAHATI, Feb 17: “The
journey of human beings from
religious morality to secular
morality and finally constitu-
tional morality in the modern
world is a move away from
God-made laws to man-made
laws,” said Justice V Ramas-
ubramanian, former judge of
the Supreme Court of India at
a programme ‘Oration’ organ-
ized by the Royal Global Uni-
versity’s ‘School of Law and
Administration today.
In his discourse on ‘Religion,
Morality and Law’, Justice V
Ramasubramanian elaborated
on the amalgamation of nature
of man and his tussle with reli-
gion, morality and law. He said
that activities like going to
church etc., act as stimuli in in-
fluencing man’s actions. Shar-
ing anecdotes from his vast ex-
perience in various courtrooms
of the nation, he urged the
young jurists to always abide
by the Constitution but re-
member that falsity may not
always be expressed in words
but sometimes may be con-
veyed by silence. The session
was followed by an interesting
Question-Answer round.
The programme was at-
tended by Justice (retd) Ran-
jan Gogoi, Member of Parlia-
ment (Rajya Sabha) and former
Chief Justice of India, and Jus-
tice Vijay Bishnoi, Chief Jus-
tice, Gauhati High Court, and
other stalwarts of the judicial
fraternity, along with faculty,
staff and students of the school.
Prof (Dr) SP Singh in his
welcome speech expressed his
heartfelt gratitude to the ju-
rists and the legal fraternity in-
volved, for sparing time and
engaging with Royalites and
the varsity, serving the stu-
dents a slice of practical expe-
rience that is faced by practi-

Simultaneously, the first edi-
tion of LitArt Festival themed

culture, bringing in renowned
authors, poets and artists, from
in and around the region.

TRIBUTE
Dhiren Chandra Sharma
At a corner of Dhiren Chandra Shar-
ma’s house in Guwahati stands a black-
and-white photograph featuring the en-
tire family. The date marked on that pho-
to, August 15, 1947, bears the message
loud and clear – it was not just another
family snapshot. Rather, it marked a spe-
cial day that had ushered in an independ-
ent India, pregnant with hope.
No wonder then, late
Sharma, a reed-lean 19-
year-old then, matched
the erect spine of his fa-
ther, noted Assamese
freedom fighter Purna
Chandra Sharma, while
posing for that special
snapshot with his family in
front of their house, an ed-
ifice which still stands out
as a marker of a bygone
era in Nagaon town.
Much as that photo
conveyed the vestiges of a colonial era
and the privileges that Dhiren Chandra
Sharma grew up with, his posture em-
bodied the optimism of the youth in a free
country. True to that spirit, Sharma went
on to graduate from Gauhati University
in 1950. It was Sharma’s generation that
had the rare privilege of picking up a grad-
uate degree without going to Kolkata.
That he thereafter sailed to London to
become a barrister underlines the continu-
ity of the times that were. Like the Mahat-

‘Shishu Mohiyaan’ Krishna Kanta Ka-

the youngest son of late Ustad Lakhi
Ram Kalita and late Dharmeswari Kali-
ta. In 1951, he joined as a
teacher in Amguri ME
School and retired as the
head teacher in 1991. He
married Putali Kalita of
Kathpar, Sivasagar on
May 1, 1969. He was
honoured as ‘Shishu Mo-
hiyaan’ by Sadou Asom

Temple, London. On returning home in
1954, he interned with former President
of India Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, then a not-
ed lawyer in Assam High Court (now Gau-
hati High Court), before practicing law in-
dependently. In 1963, he changed tack to
become an additional district and sessions
judge in Guwahati.
Meanwhile, in recogni-
tion of his contribution to
the freedom struggle,
Sharma’s father was elect-
ed to the Rajya Sabha to
represent an undivided
Assam (1956-1962).
Sharma, after having
served at various lower
courts in Assam, contributed
to the judiciary as Registrar
of Gauhati High Court, Legal
Remembrancer and Secre-
tary, Judicial, and member of
the Assam Administrative Tribunal as well
as the Board of Revenue. He also taught law
at the then University Law College.
His long life post retirement also made
him an observer of the changing times.
Corruption in public life was what dis-
turbed him the most. Yet, what held him

Strike hits normal life in Karbi Anglong No. E/Tender/2023-24/05/146

CORRESPONDENT
DIPHU, Feb 17: There has been a
strike and total shutdown of all busi-
ness establishments in both Karbi An-
glong and West Karbi Anglong dis-
tricts since February 16. This followed
the attack on members of the Karbi
Students’ Association (KSA) and ac-
tivists of youth wing of regional polit-
ical party Autonomous State Demand
Committee (ASDCYF) at Kheroni
locality on February 15.
There have been massive protests
in both the districts. The district au-
thorities have cllamped Section 144
CrPC across Karbi Anglong and West
Karbi Anglong to prohibit public
demonstrations, meetings, rallies, in-
flammatory speeches, and anti-nation-
al activities.
The victim members of the Karbi
Students’ Association and members
of Youth Front of Autonomous State
Demand Committee have denied call-
ing for any strike or shutdown of the
business establishments.
Meanwhile, fear psychosis has tak-
en hold of both the autonomous re-
gions, normal life has been disrupt-
ed, and shortage of essential com-
modities has surfaced. The police of
West Karbi Anglong have arrested
around 25 people, but the situation
has been reported to be under con-
trol. A large number of Hindi-speak-
ing people scattered in and around
West Karbi Anglong district have
begun returning to the safe haven of
Kheroni and segments of Kopili val-
ley and other areas where they are in
the majority. Various social and eth-
nic organisations have appealed for
maintaining peace and harmony
among the communities.
The Autonomous State Demand
Committee and Karbi Students’ As-
sociation have demanded eviction of
all settlements from the Village Graz-
ing Reserve (VGR) and Professional
Grazing Reserve (PGR) lands locat-
ed in various places of Karbi Anglong
and West Karbi Anglong district.
The authorities have convened an
emergency meeting to discuss the is-
sue of Village Grazing Reserve and
Professional Grazing Reserve on Feb-
ruary 20. The sudden call for an indef-
inite period of bandh and shutdown of
business establishments has jeopard-
ized normal life in both the districts.
The students appearing for the
HSLC examination are facing hard-
ships in appearing for the examina-
tion. Several organisations held a pro-
test demonstration in the Land Rev-
enue Office of Donkamukam and
Jenkha area of West Karbi Anglong
on February 15 and one of the groups
while returning from the demonstra-
tion came under attack in the Khero-
ni area.
In the clash, around six students
and youth activists were injured and
admitted to Diphu Medical College
and Hospital on the same night.

NEWMAI NEWS
IMPHAL, Feb 17: Manipur
Chief Minister N Biren Singh
today said that the loss of lives
in the arson at Churachand-
pur as well as during the at-
tempts to snatch weapons at
the Manipur Police Training
College (MPTC), Pangei, and
5th IRB, Chingarel, in Imphal
East district is unfortunate.
The Government condemns
these incidents in the strong-
est terms, he added. Magis-
terial inquiries will be con-
ducted into the incidents, the
Chief Minister told media
persons here.
Biren Singh said that ac-
tion would be taken against
anyone found guilty. It is the
primary duty and responsi-
bility of the Government to
maintain law and order, and
protect public property and
lives, he added.
The Chief Minister re-
vealed that legal action has
been initiated against a per-

son who issued a threat to
the Churachandpur SP on the
social media. Speaking
against the 24-hour ultima-
tum served on the SP by the
Indigenous Tribal Leaders
Forum, Biren Singh said that
such grave threats would not
be taken lightly.
The Chief Minister stated
that the Government and all
right-thinking persons of the
State and country are with
the SP and the DC of Chu-
rachandpur.
A leader had alleged just be-
fore the Churachandpur inci-
dent that no one was suspend-
ed when weapons were
snatched in Imphal, while a per-
sonnel was suspended at Chu-
rachandpur, N Biren Singh said,
adding that this was a blatant lie
as the State Government had
suspended seven personnel in
connection with the incident at
the MPTC, Pangei and 5th
IRB, Chingarel.
Playing such divisive poli-
tics and misleading the youth
is condemnable, the Chief
Minister said.
Categorically stating that
no compromise would be
made with regard to any chal-
lenge to the State or national
security, the Chief Minister
said that additional forces have
been rushed to Sugnu area
and Lailoiphai where gun-
fights have been reported. He
added that the ADG (Law and
Order) has been instructed to
monitor the situation in the
area. He further assured the
people that no area in the
State would be left out from
the purview of law and order.

Govt move to bring fishermen to ONDC

NEW DELHI, Feb 17:
With the aim of providing fish-
ermen with an e-market plat-
form, the Department of
Fisheries will sign a memo-
randum of understanding
(MoU) with Open Network
for Digital Commerce
(ONDC) on February 19.
The officials said that the
MoU will be signed in the
presence of Minister of Fish-
eries, Animal Husbandry and
Dairying Parshottam Rupala
and Minister of State for
Fisheries, Animal Husband-
ry and Dairying L Murugan
at Krishi Bhawan in the Na-
tional Capital.
“This essential step will
provide a digital platform for
fisherfolks, fish farmers pro-
ducers organisation, entre-
preneurs, SHGs, fishermen
cooperatives and other rele-
vant stakeholders in the fish-
eries sector to access wider
markets, expanding their
reach and potential custom-
er base,” the officials said.
They said that the collabo-
ration between Department
of Fisheries and ONDC will
facilitate the implementation
of technology-driven solu-
tions, improve efficiency, col-
lectivisation and competitive-
ness of the small scale pro-
ducers and marketers.
“ONDC is a unique platform
of e-marketing and will play a
significant role in the fisheries
sector to connect maximum
FFPOs and other fishermen
cooperatives,” they said.
The officials said that by
providing a direct channel
between producers and con-
sumers, ONDC will support
in reducing the reliance on
intermediaries, leading to
higher profits for fishers and
lower prices for consumers.
“This initiative will also
provide a scale of economy
to the marginal fishermen
engaged in scattered busi-
ness through a common dig-
ital platform for their prod-
ucts,” the officials said.
They said that the adoption
of digital technical solutions
will serve various benefits for
fisheries industries like en-
hanced trust, reduced trans-
action costs, increased mar-
ket reach, improved trans-
parency, increased competi-
tiveness, innovation, and
employment generation.
“In the long term, the
ONDC network will facilitate
seamless integration for har-
nessing the benefits of col-
lectivisation between pro-
ducers, processors, and dis-
tributors within the fisheries
sector, enabling efficient sup-
ply chain management, val-
ue chains and market ac-
cess,” the officials said.
They said that this collab-
oration will facilitate capaci-
ty building and raise aware-
ness through educational
workshops for MSMEs, star-
tups, SHGs, small and mar-
ginal fishermen, FFPOs, fish-
ers, and market participants
in the fisheries sector.
“Open Network for Digit-
al Commerce was incorpo-
rated as a Section 8 compa-
ny, an initiative by DPIIT,
Ministry of Commerce and
Industry, aiming at promot-
ing open networks for all as-
pects of exchange of goods
and services over digital or
electronic networks,” the
officials said.
They said that it has re-
corded more than 6.3 million
transactions in the month of
November in 2023. – IANS

The key stakeholders who
participated in the discus-
sions included Central and
State government officials,
researchers, industry repre-
sentatives, practitioners and
fish farmer producer organi-
sations (FFPO).
Union Minister Parshot-
tam Rupala emphasised the
need for active handholding
and skill development of tra-
ditional fishermen to enhance
their competitiveness.
He also addressed the con-
cept of connecting each Am-
rit Sarovar to create oppor-
tunities for generating liveli-
hoods through inland fisher-
ies. The minister also sug-
gested that the fish market
should adopt a marketing ap-
proach similar to that of a
“fish mall”, fostering a cul-
ture akin to shopping malls
in metropolitan cities.
He highlighted the govern-
ment’s emphasis on fisher-
ies, including initiatives like
Pradhan Mantri Matsya
Sampada Yojana, Blue Revo-
lution, FIDH, and other in-
surance related schemes.
The second day of the work-
shop featured technical ses-
sions on ‘Sustainability in In-

sions facilitated discussions
among policymakers, industry

mendations and future road-
maps for the sector’s growth.

No sign of Russia going ahead Man shoots 12 of his family members

WASHINGTON, Feb 17: Ohio, who urged Biden to

President Joe Biden said Fri-
day there was no sign Russia
has decided to go ahead and
deploy an emerging anti-sat-
ellite weapon, the disclosure
of which has rattled Washing-
ton this week.
The White House has con-
firmed that U.S. Intelligence
officials have information indi-
cating Russia has obtained such
a capability, although such a
weapon is not yet operational.
Biden said Friday that “there’s
no evidence that they have
made a decision to go forward
with doing anything in space,”
while he continued to stress
that there was no immediate
danger to humans.
“There is no nuclear
threat to the people of
America or anywhere else in
the world with what Russia’s
doing at the moment,” Biden
told reporters at the White
House during remarks on
the reported death of Rus-
sian opposition leader Alexei
Navalny.
The president confirmed
that the capability obtained by
Russia “related to satellites
and space and damaging
those satellites potentially,”
and that those capabilities
could “theoretically do some-
thing that was damaging”.
But Russia hasn’t moved
forward with plans yet, and,
Biden added: “My hope is, it
will not.”
The news of the capability
emerged this week after a
cryptic warning from House
Intelligence Committee
Chairman Mike Turner, R-
declassify information relat-
ing to what he called a “seri-
ous national security threat”.
That declassification proc-
ess had been underway when
Turner released the state-
ment, according to the White
House.
Secretary of State Antony
Blinken, in Germany for the
Munich Security Confer-
ence, raised the matter with
Indian Foreign Minister
Jaishankar and Chinese For-
eign Minister Wang Yi and
“emphasized that the pursuit
of this capability should be a
matter of concern,” accord-
ing to a US Official traveling
with Blinken in Munich.
The official, who was
granted anonymity to discuss
details of meetings that hadn’t
been publicly disclosed, said
Blinken will continue raising
it throughout his meetings at
the security forum. – AP

The UN mission’s report,
published Friday, said the
decrees are being enforced
through arrest, harassment
and intimidation. Women
said they increasingly fear
going to public spaces owing
to the threat of arrest and the
“long-lasting stigma and
shame” associated with be-
ing taken into police custody.
Over half of the women
interviewed for the report
felt unsafe leaving the house
without a male guardian, or
mahram. Risks to their se-
curity and their anxiety lev-
els worsened whenever a
new decree was announced
specifically targeting them,
the report said.
Women who went out
with a mahram felt safer but
noted the stress from de-
pending on another person to
accompany them. Some said
their male guardians chided
them for “wasting time” if
they wanted to visit certain
shops or stray from a route
limited to performing basic
necessary tasks. – AP

ing spent almost an hour at the
crease. Trying to improvise,
Root attempted a reverse ramp
over the slip only to find Ya-
shasvi Jaiswal at second slip.
His partnership with centu-
rion Ben Duckett (153) was
steady but after his dismissal
England could not add even 100
runs to the total. The visitors
conceded a huge 126-run lead.
“Ben Duckett’s partnership
was growing with Root, if he
had played a little more, then
it would have been difficult for
us. But suddenly he played
that shot which didn’t look
(like one) to be played,” Siraj
said during media interaction
after the day’s play.
“But it turned out good for
us and after that (Ben) Foakes
and Ben Stokes had a good
partnership, and then Stokes
played a shot (which got him
out) and we got into the game
from there,” he added.
Siraj praised young India
opener Jaiswal for his rapid
104-run knock.
“The way he is batting, his
confidence is very high. He is
not looking behind and is to-
tally focused on what lies
ahead and he is carrying on
with that confidence. The
message from the team is that
he should continue the way
he has been doing.
“We only think of taking the
game as forward as possible so
that we (bowlers) should also
recover because we are bowl-
ing long spells and fielding.
The more we are able to re-
cover the fresher we will be
for the second innings,” Siraj
said.
The fast bowler said the In-
dian bowlers will have to keep
targeting the stumps in the
fourth innings, as straying
from bowling plans would only
invite trouble.
“I reckon the ball will keep
a little low on the fourth day
but cannot say anything accu-
rately for this wicket. What-
ever I have assessed of this
wicket, the more you are able
to bowl at the stumps, you are
more likely to get success. If
you bowl wide, you may leak
runs,” he added.
The pitch here at the Niran-
jan Shah Stadium has not de-
veloped enough cracks yet for
the spinners to have a bigger
say but Siraj said they will
have an impact.
“Spinners will obviously be
effective in the fourth innings
because the ball is turning.
Not all six deliveries (in an
over) are turning but one odd
one is. You can get wickets if
you bowl with patience at one
spot.” – PTI
India had won two bronze medals in
men’s team event in the 2016 and
2020 editions.
Though Japan were without their
World No. 4 Akane Yamaguchi, the
World No. 7 pair of Yuki Fukushima and
Sayaka Hirota and World No. 8 combi-
nation of Mayu Matsumoto and Waka-
na Nagahara, they were still a formida-
ble side, making it tough for India.
Returning from a long injury layoff,
Sindhu had enjoyed wins against Chi-
na’s Han Yue and Hong Kong’s Lo Sin
Yan Happy but she couldn’t produce
her best against the left-handed Aya
Ohori, going down 13-21, 20-22 in the
first singles to peg India back.
What a day for Ashwin, incredible
Jaiswal, Bazball’s electric pace...
avichandran Ashwin, a modern-day
R great, experienced it all on Friday:
Joy and relief during the afternoon
(getting to 500 Test wickets); worry and
the desperate need to
take the quickest con-
nection from Rajkot to
Chennai at night.
One understands
Ashwin’s mother, Chi-
tra, had been unwell
on the eve of the third
Lokendra Pratap Sahi
India vs England Test
and her condition took a turn for the worse
at some point on Friday. Around midnight,
the Board of Control for Cricket in India
issued a media release stating Ashwin
had “withdrawn” from the Rajkot Test.
That’s an absolute first for India. In fact,
according to master statistician Mohan-
das Menon, the only other instance of a
player withdrawing from a Test was when
legend Gordon Greenidge took that route
against India in 1982-83.
Greenidge was batting on 154 when
he left for Antigua to be with his ailing
daughter.
Sadly, Greenidge’s daughter didn’t sur-
vive. News, at the time of writing this col-
umn, was that Ashwin’s mother is “stable.”
Not that Ashwin is one for boisterous
celebrations on reaching landmarks (he
has many to his credit), but he may not
even have had time for something on a
smaller scale.
But, then, that’s life. What the next
hour holds remains unpredictable. Some
would say a mystery.
The India-England series, fascinating
whatever be the yardstick, has actually
drawn attention to family as an institu-
Guwahati all set for KIUG
GUWAHATI, Feb 17: Guwahati is poised
to host the grand opening ceremony of the
fourth edition of the Khelo India University
Games (KIUG) 2023 Ashtalakshmi. Ampli-
fying the glitz and glamour, Assam’s inter-
nationally acclaimed musical sensation, Pa-
pon, is all set to grace the opening ceremo-
ny on February 19 at the Indira Gandhi
Athletic Stadium in Sarusajai Sports
Complex here.
The grand opening of the games, which
will welcome all attendees free of charge,
will also feature a thematic showcase high-
lighting the values of unity, diversity, and
the spirit of sportsmanship. Additionally, the
vibrant culture of Assam will take centre stage
with captivating displays of indigenous arts,
adding an extra layer of cultural immersion to
the event.
The marquee competition kicked off on Sat-
urday with the discipline of kabaddi at the
Sarusajai Stadium. The men’s and women’s
categories will see as many as 8 teams divid-
ed into two pools competing for glory.
The KIUG will witness the participation of
close to 4,000 sportspersons, vying for a total
of 262 gold, 263 silver and 297 bronze medals
across 20 sports disciplines over the next
fortnight with competitions being held in 18
venues across Guwahati and six other North-
eastern cities.
Accordingly, Guwahati will host a total of
16 disciplines during the Khelo India Uni-
versity Games 2023, reflecting the State
government’s dedication to providing world-
class sporting infrastructure. This will in-
clude an array of events including athletics,
SPORTS
Treesa and Gayatri, playing the first
doubles, dished out a superlative per-
formance to outwit World No. 6 Nami
Matsuyama and Chiharu Shida 21-17,
16-21, 22-20 in a 73-minute contest
as India drew level at 1-1.
Up against former world champion
Nozomi Okuhara, who is currently
ranked 20, the left-handed Ashmita
produced an aggressive game, using
her overhead cross drops and jump
smashes to good use, to record a shock-
ing 21-17, 21-14 win to hand India a 2-
1 lead.
With Tanisha Crasto suffering a nig-
gle, Sindhu then paired up with Ash-
wini Ponnappa but they couldn’t get
tion and the significance it holds for most.
First, it was colossus Virat Kohli who
made himself unavailable and, now, Ash-
win’s withdrawal.
Virat’s unavailability owing to undis-
closed reasons – AB de Villiers had to
dramatically apologise for “blundering” by
announcing the Kohlis were expecting
their second child – and injuries to other
players finally gave Sarfaraz Khan his
maiden Test cap, in Rajkot.
Sarfaraz exhibited fearlessness not usu-
ally seen in a debutant. A fantastic 62
suggested he could be the man to back as
Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane
appear to be permanently off the selec-
tors’ radar. Moreover, KL Rahul and Shre-
yas Iyer are so prone to injuries.
The batsman to wow the most, and one
who should be an absolute regular for years
to come, is 22-year-old Yashasvi Jaiswal.
He has overcome unbelievable odds in life,
now he’s taking it out on the bowlers! Two
hundreds at England’s expense already.
Indeed, there are few more inspirational
stories than Jaiswal’s. If there’s a fear,
it’s that phenomenal success and the rich-
es which naturally follow may just become
an unwelcome distraction. He’s so young.
After all, distractions devoured two im-
mensely gifted India players: One in the
1980s, the other a decade later. Both tast-
ed mega success very early, both quickly
went downhill.
Another U-25 player, Shubman Gill,
needs to be consistent in the Test format.
Once he sorts that out, it will be win-win
for India.
Jaiswal, Gill and, potentially, Sarfaraz (who
is 26). All have age on their side. At the
other end are massively experienced Ro-
rugby, basketball, volleyball, swimming, bad-
minton, hockey, fencing, kabaddi, women’s
football, tennis, mallakhamb, judo and
table tennis.
Dibrugarh University has the largest con-
tingent from Assam with six members while
Manipur University with 19 athletes has
the highest representation from the North-
east region.
Amongst the other competitors to look out
for is Panjab University who have been a dom-
inant force but faced stiff competition from
second-placed Guru Nanak Dev University,
Amritsar in the previous edition with a single
medal separating the two.
At the fourth edition of the Games, Panjab
University will be fielding the third strong-
est squad of 151 members while Guru Nanak
Dev University, Amritsar will have the larg-
est contingent, comprising 238 members.
Chandigarh University is sandwiched be-
tween the two with the second-highest con-
tingent of 165 athletes. Overall, 10 univer-
sities have a contingent size, stretching to
three digits.
Notably, since 2018, the Ministry of Youth
Affairs and Sports have organised six Khelo
India Youth Games, three Khelo India Uni-
versity Games and four Khelo India Winter
Games and multiple Khelo India Women’s
Leagues in various sports. The inaugural Khelo
India Para Games were held in New Delhi in
December.
A total of Rs 2418 crore was allotted for the
Khelo India scheme from 2016-2023 and fur-
ther provision of Rs 3165 crore has been made
for the next five years, stated a press release.
across the World No. 11 pair of Rena
Miyaura and Ayako Sakuramoto, losing
14-21, 11-21 in 43 minutes.
With the five-match rubber evenly
poised at 2-2, Anmol was handed the
responsibility of taming World No. 29
Natsuki Nidaira, and the Indian once
again lived up to the expectation,
claiming a 21-14, 21-18 win in 52 min-
utes.
“Our girls are doing magic, they were
excellent today,” former India coach
Vimal Kumar, who is with the Indian
team in Malaysia, told PTI.
“I will give a lot of credit to Gayatri
and Treesa and also Ashmita for pull-
ing out of the matches. It was an out-
standing performance from Ashmita,
she outclassed Okuhara, she raised her
game to another level.
“Young girl Anmol also showed that
we can depend on her going forward.
When you do well in team champion-
ships, it shows they can handle pres-
sure and I am really impressed with
her. This is a special moment for Indi-
an badminton.”
Ashmita vs Nozomi: Ashmita man-
aged to draw out errors from Nozomi
and also played some delectable back-
hand drives and forehand cross hits to
open up a 11-9 lead after an initial bat-
tle in the opening game.
Nozomi clawed back at 12-12 but the
Indian broke the run of play with a nice
over-the-head drop and a backhand
return and then a couple of straight
smashes helped her to stay ahead.
The Indian pushed one to the back
and then Nozomi hit wide as Ashmita
grabbed four game points with a jump
cross smash and sealed it when
the Japanese’s back hand went
to net. – PTI
hit Sharma and Virat. Awesome line-up that.
I must talk of England too.
India are so far ahead in Rajkot it’s diffi-
cult envisaging an England win. Even if
they leave Saurashtra’s premier city 1-2
down, England have entertained with coach
Brendon McCullum’s ‘Bazball’ cricket.
The electric pace of scoring, for exam-
ple by classy opener Ben Duckett in in-
nings No. 1 in Rajkot, reminded me of the
punishment meted out by Virender Se-
hwag.
Pity Sehwag never quite got the ap-
preciation he deserved.
Of course, Bazball cannot be followed in
every situation, but England’s refresh-
ingly different take ever since McCul-
lum took over, is bound to help keep Test
cricket alive.
It’s one thing to strategise, quite an-
other to implement on the ground. In Ben
Stokes, McCullum has a faithful disciple.
Unless the captain is on board, nothing
works.
Coach to captain, captain to his play-
ers... That’s the chain.
No disrespect to some of Stokes’s pred-
ecessors, but England’s approach would,
at times, be downright boring. Bazball
enthrals.
To end with Ishan Kishan, who has de-
fied the Board, not bothering about Ranji
Trophy. The tournament, which groomed
some of the biggest names in our cricket,
has got devalued. For that, the Board alone
has to be blamed.
Having said that, any player who choos-
es to care two hoots about the Ranji Trophy
must be ‘blacklisted’ till he realises there’s
more to Indian cricket than the IPL.
The proverbial ball is in the Board’s half.

To give the rhinos a permanent
home with inviolable boundaries,
the State government enacted an-
other legislation, namely the Assam
National Park Act of 1968, under
which an area of 430 sq kms of Kazi-
ranga was declared a National Park.
In 1974, the park was given the of-
ficial status as a National Park by the
Central government. Eleven years
later, it was declared a World Heri-
tage Site by UNESCO, while in 2007
it became a tiger reserve.
Today, Kaziranga — billed as one of
the greatest conservation stories, has
made Assam more prominent in the
world map. Rhinos from Kaziranga
have gone to various parts of the world.
With a series of additions, its core area
today covers a total area of 482.0385
sq kms, and the latest census has
pegged the rhino count at 2,600.

he internet may have opened up the world to us, breaking

ners, but when it comes to bridging the actual gap between
cultures and understanding the peoples of the world, there
is no overstating the importance of literary translations. For
effective communication across cultures and to better understand any
ethnic or linguistic milieu, we must dive into their literary texts or oral
tales, and translations are the only way to do that. And as Assam is
home to several ethnic communities, oral tales and lores abound. It is
in this scenario that former journalist Joykanta Sarma took upon the
task of collating, translating and editing the folk tales of the Rabhas,
the Tiwas and the Karbis, alongside translating modern Bodo and
Manipuri short stories.
A prolific writer in Assamese and English, Sarma has 22 books to his
credit, the most recent one being Karbi Folktales, published by the National
Book Trust last year. Apart from two of his books — Modern Bodo Short
Stories and Rabha Folk Tales, published by the Sahitya Akademi, Sarma
has written two socio-political books as well — Gandhir Pora Sastriloi
and Gandhir Dukhor Dinbor. He has also translated into Assamese sev-
eral Chinese and Russian short stories, including Alexandir Pushkin and
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
In this interview, Sarma talks about the richness of our oral traditions
and how, despite his efforts, there is still a lot more that needs to be done
to preserve our regional stories.
You have penned/translated the folk tales of several ethnic com-
munities of this region over the years. What made you venture into
this domain of folk tales and folklore?
Yes, during the

H
istory has it that rhinos had
existed almost all over North-
ern India — from Peshawar
(now in Pakistan) in the west
to Sadiya (Assam) in the east,
where the animal had roamed around in
the grassy plains and swamps and often
in the hills and creeks. In his memoirs,
Mughal emperor Babur had described
how he hunted rhinos in the Indus Valley
in the early 16th century. However, the
animal began to vanish rapidly, particu-
larly from the west, partly because of
relentless killing and partly because of
its gradually shrinking habitats. Soon,
its population came down to a few in
Nepal, North Bengal and Assam.
In the mid-19th century, rhinos were
found all over Assam. Lt Col Pollock,
an engineer who was in charge of road
projects in Assam, in his 1886 book —
Sportsman of India and Burma, wrote
about how he shot rhinos as there
were plentiful in those days. General
Sir James Willcock also wrote in his
1889 book about his rhino hunting
games in Kaziranga. Sanderson, who
conducted several elephant-catching
operations in India, also recorded
rhino sightings in the Garo Hills. He
even recorded seeing two-horned rhi-
nos in the Lushai Hills (now Mizoram).
further reduced the rhino population
at an alarming rate. By the early 20th
century, the rhinos were on the verge
of extinction.
It is said that Lady Curzon — wife of
the then Viceroy of India — had visited
her planter friend at Naharjan Tea Es-
tate sometime in 1904 and during her
elephant safari at Kaziranga, she could
not find a single rhino — despite being
told about the abundance of wildlife in
the area. Her guide during the safari
was Nigona Sikari, who had, report-
edly, explained to her the plight of
the rhinos and this had prompted her
to persuade Lord Curzon to take up
conservation efforts. Probably it was
after that that the then Government
of Assam notified Kaziranga to be a
reserve in 1908. It is reported that at
that time, Kaziranga barely had a doz-
en rhinos, but that figure is disputed
as during those days forests were thick
and communication difficult. Manas
— another habitat where rhinos were
found — too was declared a reserve
forest. Both these reserve forests were
subsequently called game reserves
and since the later part of 1940s, the
game reserves became wildlife sanctu-
aries. Kaziranga was named a wildlife

news of the 66th session of the In-

quarter of the year, aroused great
excitement not just within the town
but in the entire region.
The gala event was held during
the month of February. The session
was not just confined to matters of
politics; the area was vibrant with
musical evenings, exhibitions and
other means of entertainment too.
To add to it, there was a mini zoo
created in the exhibition compound
— the same makeshift zoo later

aims to equip women
with the strength to
avail of opportunities
in all spheres of life. It
helps them realise their self-worth
by using the power given to them
in the right direction. Although the
modern legal system and various
government schemes have given
women numerous opportunities,
many still struggle to use these op-
portunities effectively. The root
cause is ignorance, which leads
to the absence of inner strength.
Women often fall prey to social
conditioning and fail to make deci-
sions independently. The female
existentialist philosopher Simone
de Beauvoir said, “One is not born
a woman, but becomes one.” Due
to ignorance and the lack of clarity
of mind, many women think they
decide without being influenced
by external factors. Sometimes,
they also make decisions influenced
by their natural instincts. Unfortu-
nately, most of the time, women
fail to raise their voice against the
injustice done to them, being sub-
jugated by fear and attachment,
knowingly or unknowingly.
During the intricate journey of
life, many women have to grapple
with the mental turbulence that
compels them to depend on their
loved ones emotionally. This emo-
tional entanglement often causes
her to decide against her true well-
being. This entanglement resolves
to a great extent once she starts
considering herself as a conscious
human being. But instead of that,
a woman often suffers from mental
agony by falling into the trap of
body identification.
According to the Global Gender
Gap Report 2023, India ranks 127

Incremental depreciation of vehicles

C
ar insurance covers two
risk categories — Own
Damage (OD) and Liability
Risks. The liability section
further covers two risks —
Third Party (TP) and Compulsory
Personal Accident for owner-driver
(CPA). The total premium on car
insurance is an aggregate of three
premiums covering OD, TP, and
CPA. Whereas obtaining cover for
liability risks (TP and CPA) is legally
mandatory, the insurance shield for
the Own Damage (OD) component
isn’t. Normally we take a package
policy which covers both OD and
Liability hazards.
Basically, an insurance policy for
private cars covers three risks: OD,
TP, and CPA. OD premium, which is
based on the Insured Declared Value
(IDV), is quoted by the individual
insurance companies. But in the
case of Third Party (TP) liability, the
premium is fixed by the Insurance
Regulatory and Development
Authority of India (IRDAI). The TP
premium is revised on an annual
basis, mostly upward, by IRDAI. The
TP premium is not linked to the value
or age of the car, but on the cubic
capacity (cc) of the car. There are
three categories for private cars —
upto 1000cc, exceeding 1000cc
but up to 1500 cc, and exceeding
1500cc.
In a particular financial year, the
insurance
CHANDER GUPTA on the basics of
insuring your vehicle.
TP premium on all private cars will
be the same depending upon the cc.
As Third-Party liabilities of insurance
companies are increasing year after
year due to more mishaps, the premium
is also being enhanced periodically.
The current rates of TP premium are
as follows: for cars up to 1000cc —
Rs. 2094; exceeding 1000 cc but
not exceeding 1500 cc — Rs. 3416;
exceeding 1500 cc — Rs. 7897. The
CPA premium is around Rs. 300.
The coverage for Own Damage is to
the extent of the value of the car, which
in insurance parlance is called Insured
Declared Value (IDV). The formula used
to calculate IDV is: Manufacturer’s listed
price minus depreciation. Depreciation
rates for adjusting IDV are linked to the
age of the vehicle. The depreciation rate
at the very beginning itself is five per
cent, which means that the cover of
OD insurance of even a brand-new car
will be limited to 95 per cent of its ex-
showroom price. The total depreciation
zooms to 50 per cent in five years.
aged over five years is decided by
mutual agreement between the
insurer and the insured, keeping in
view the condition of the car.
Limits of liability for insurance
companies are: Section II-1 (i)
stipulates compensation for death of
or bodily injury to third person to the
extent awarded by the Motor Accident
Compensation Tribunal (MACT), with
no limit prescribed. Section II-1(ii)
provides cover for damage to third
party property up to Rs. 7,50,000.
Section III provides Capital Sum
Insured (CSI) of Rs. 1,50,0000 for
owner-driver to cover PA risk.
The insured is entitled for a No Claim
Bonus (NCB) on the Own Damage
section of the policy if no claim is
made during the preceding year — 20
per cent; preceding two consecutive
years — 25 per cent; preceding three
consecutive years — 35 per cent;
preceding four consecutive years — 45
per cent; preceding five consecutive
years — 50 per cent.
One point that the purchaser
of a used car should keep in mind
is to get the existing insurance
policy in the name of the seller
endorsed in their own name within
14 days of transfer of ownership.
After 14 days the policy becomes
infructuous if it continues in the
name of the seller.

lowing difficult and painful.
O Gallbladder or pancreas problems: Gall stones or inflammation of the
gall bladder or the pancreas may cause pain in the abdomen which can
spread to the chest.
Muscle or bone-related causes:
O Costochondritis: In this condition, the cartilage of the rib cage, par-
ticularly the cartilage that joins the ribs to the breastbone, becomes
inflamed and painful.
O Sore muscles: Chronic pain syndromes like Fibromyalgia may cause
pain that affects the chest muscles.
O Injured ribs: A bruised or broken rib can cause chest pain. These pains
are localised and increase pressure over the area.
Lung-related causes:
O Pulmonary embolism: A blood clot stuck in a lung artery can block
blood flow to a part of the lungs and cause chest pain.
O Pleurisy: Inflammation of the membrane covering the lungs (pleura) can
cause chest pain, which gets worse with coughing or deep breathing.
O Collapsed lung: Chest pain occurs suddenly and is usually associated
with shortness of breath. It occurs when air leaks into the pleural
space.
O Pulmonary hypertension: High blood pressure in the arteries carrying
blood to the lungs can cause chest pain.
Other causes:
O Panic attack: These are periods of intense fear with chest pain. A panic
attack can also cause a rapid heartbeat, rapid breathing, sweating,
shortness of breath, nausea, and a fear of dying. Sometimes it may be
difficult to differentiate from a heart attack.
O Shingles or Herpes Zoster: This condition can cause intense chest pain
and a band of blisters from the back to the chest.
Diagnosis:
Most kinds of chest pain are not related to the heart or the lungs. But
as these two conditions are the most life-threatening, it is important to
test for them first. In addition to taking the history of the patient and do-
ing a physical examination, some of the common tests performed on the
patient are — ECG, Chest X-ray, blood tests, CT Scans, Echocardiogra-
phy, and Coronary Angiography.
Chest pain can be a symptom of a serious and life-threatening underly-
ing condition. It should never be neglected.

Bus ride nostalgia
T
hose were the days when school kids
and young people were not driven
around in two- or four-wheelers. It
was not because affordability was an
issue — I guess people back then had
no qualms being a part of the crowd. Everyone
belonged, and loved being so, to the city, and
human-to-human interaction (actual, not virtual)
was the norm. And in those days, an important
place to bond over with all was the city bus.
My earliest memory goes back to the long-
nosed green and yellow buses with wooden
seats. The handyman, with his Mithun/Amitabh-
esque hairstyle, hung by the handrail on the
front door, one foot hanging in the air and the
other placed precariously on the footboard,
beckoning passengers to board his bus; the
solemn conductor, on the other hand, stood
apart with a bundle of currency notes and yel-
low ticket pads in his hands.
It was the period when we, the pre-pubertal
lot, were chaperoned by some elder on these
journeys. There were no seats reserved for
women, the old or for the specially-abled pas-
sengers. One sat promptly on any vacant seat.
The window seat was coveted, with our eager
eyes longingly looking out for the roadside milk
or orange ice-cream vendors and jhaal-muri
sellers. Our pleading looks for an occasional
snack on these buses were usually dealt with
a cruel stare or a long verbal tirade about our
reluctance to eat home-cooked food and our
craving for unhealthy ‘outside’ food.
Years passed, and fares got converted from
paise to rupees, and the city buses changed
form. In came the minibuses, which were mod-
ern-looking, smaller and faster. The handymen
became aggressive, and their calls became loud
and robust. It was during this time that the image
of the angry young handyman, with Rahul Roy
hair locks and tobacco-stained teeth, became
a common face in the city bus scenario. Betel-
nut and betel-leaf became passé, and various
tobacco concoctions in fancy sachets became
the in-thing for these handymen.
It was during this time that I remember seats
getting reserved for women in these buses.
On one such ride, before minibuses became
canters, there was this unpleasant experience.
I had boarded a crowded bus on the way to my
mathematics tuition class, when the middle-aged
man standing behind me started to lean on me,
trying to grope me. I was uncomfortable, but
‘me-too’ was unheard of then, and I became
teary-eyed. The handyman saw my discomfort,
and the good Samaritan held the culprit by
his collar and pushed him out of the bus at
the Chandmari bus stoppage. A few other

hung by the handrail We usually boarded the correct bus, and the
handyman ensured that we got down safely at
on the front door... the designated stoppage.
It was sometime during the late canter-era
that another set of majestic vehicles dotted the
city’s landscape — the Rhino buses. The large
buses, painted either bright green or subtle
blue, looked good and ushered in the phase of
travelling in air-conditioned luxury. These beasts
on wheels had a heavy presence, plied carefully
on the city roads, had higher fares and looked
modern. With the foray of shared three-wheelers,
the ‘Rhinos' slowly faded into oblivion.
And now, when I have the luxury to travel in
my four-wheeler, I glance at the city buses. I miss
the commotion of the crowd I travelled with, the
confusion the day after fare price hikes were an-
nounced and the elation of grabbing the window
seat, the endless chats in the bus with my constant
travel companion — Julie — on the way to col-
lege, and the impromptu trips to Fancy Bazar
with friends for chapta chana or the Feeds roll…
All I have for company now, as I head home
from work in the solitude of my car, is the com-
rade called mobile phone which makes me go
further away from all that was once familiar. And
with city buses, everyday mundane travelling was
not just a tour — it was a story, an experience
to remember…

the speakers had long gone and from the
market nearby the dogs came prowling to
the dump where the paper plates had been
flung. It was past midnight — with a cold
wind ruffling the cloth-walls of the shami-

Adjacent to the hall where the buffet

There had been ten gas containers but
the pipes had been disconnected from
the stoves. Now the cylinders stood in a
cluster like red-painted letter boxes, strung
and locked by a steel chain to an iron
pillar. It was a makeshift kitchen with walls
made from the same flimsy white-and-

and dining halls.

For several minutes there was silence

There have been many turning points
in life. Tanhaji was the first turning point
where I got to spend seven to eight months
with the team, learning the role of action
in movie-making. It was my first Bollywood
project where I got to work with a super-
star.
The second turning point was the multis-

The fifth boy, with close-cropped hair
said, “There’s no water to clean the buck-

A cold wind sliced through the enclosure,
the wafer-thin shamiana cloth flapping
helplessly. The boy shivered.
“There’s some water in the saucepans,”

“It’s dish water,” said the boy with the

Advice for aspiring stunt
artistes
Enter this industry only if you are passionate
about action, adventure and are ready to take
the risks involved in it. Cribbing about lack of
easy access to training facilities, being too tired
to train — these excuses will not take you far.
And, most importantly, if you enter just because
of the money, glamour and you lack the passion
and dedication, then you will just be another
guy in the crowd.
