IIPM Excom Prof. Rajita Chaudhuri's Profile

India is going to buy lightweight torpedoes from US to arm the dozen P-8I long-range maritime patrol aircraft it's acquiring from Boeingfor $3.1 billion to plug existing surveillance gaps in the Indian Ocean.

The American Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) on Monday notified the US Congress of the impending sale of 32 MK-54 all-up-round lightweight torpedoes, along with associated equipment, spares and logistical support, to India for around $86 million.

The torpedoes, said DSCA, will "provide enhanced capabilities in effective defence of critical sea lines of communication". Armed with torpedoes, depth bombs and Harpoon missiles, apart from being packed with long-range radars and sensors, the P-8Is will boost the Indian Navy's anti-warship and anti-submarine warfare capabilities.

As first reported by TOI, India is finalising the contract for four new P-8Is, which will add to the eight such planes already contracted from Boeing under the $2.1-billion deal inked in January 2009. The first P-8I is slated for induction by early-2013.

Police attacks rave party near Mumbai

IIPM Prof Rajita Chaudhuri - The New Age Woman

The crime branch, in a joint operation with the local Rave Partypolice, busted a rave party at a resort in Khalapur, Raigad district, late on Sunday. Nearly 300 youngsters, including 60 girls, were rounded up. A Mumbai police officer was also among those detained from the Mount View Resort on the old Mumbai-Pune highway.

Superintendent of police (Raigad) R D Shinde said, "We are checking the antecedents of the officer and trying to find out why he was present at the party." Asked if any celebrity or his/her family member was present at the party, Shinde said his team was preparing a list of those rounded up. "It's too early to comment on this," he said.

Incidentally, June 26 has been declared as the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking by the UN.

"We have found some drugs on the youngsters and are trying to identify them," Shinde said. "The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act would be applied if the seized items are found to be narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances."

The police had received a tip-off that a rave party would be held in Khalapur on Sunday.

"The youngsters could either hail from Mumbai or Pune as both the cities are close to Khalapur. They are in their twenties," an official said.

Woman gang raped and burnt alive in Uttar Pradesh

IIPM Prof Arindam Chaudhuri on Dictatorship of the sycophants

Rape VictimA woman was allegedly gang raped and burnt alive in Etah of Uttar Pradesh late on Sunday night. The family of the victim, who was in her thirties, claimed that she was raped by five men but no case has been registered yet. The victim was taken to the Etah district hospital where she was declared brought dead.

This is the third rape case reported in UP in three days.


In UP 13-year-old resists rape, eye gouged out
In yet another blot on UP's law and order report card, two youth on Saturday gouged out an eye of a 13-year-old girl in Kannauj when they failed to rape her. When the girl's parents went to the local police station to lodge a complaint, they were turned away. Reports said Preeti (name changed) had gone out for some work in her Gadwa Buzurg Village on Saturday evening when two local youth, Dilip Nonia and Niranjan Yadav, got hold of her at a secluded place and tried to sexually assault her.

When the girl raised an alarm, the duo attacked her with knives, piercing her left eye and injuring the other, said Kannauj police chief Rajendra Singh. Preeti has lost her left eye and the right one is also considerably damaged. Dr Awdhesh Pratap of Vinod Dixit Eye Hospital in Kannauj, who examined the victim said: "The left eye is damaged irreversibly. In the right, there are only 10% chances of recovery."

Preeti has been sent to Kanpur for further treatment. The two accused are from her own village. One of them, Niranjan Yadav, has been arrested. The victim's family later alleged the police were not ready to record the girl's statement. The police chief later said that two police personnel, sub-inspector Shiv Shanker Singh and constable Fakhruddin, were suspended for laxity. The two neither informed the senior officers nor carried out standard procedure, he said.

This was just one of the many incidents of crime against women reported in the past 24 hours as UP Police appeared to be on weekend holiday.

Ramdev admitted to ICU

Baba Ramdev aide Balkrishan owns 99.9% of Aastha channel

Baba Ramdev, on fast since June 4, was forcibly admitted to intensive care in a Dehradun government hospital on Friday despite protests by his supporters who insisted the yoga guru on drip had not broken his fast. Around 4pm, six administrative officials led by Haridwar district magistrate R Meenakshi Sundaram got Ramdev shifted to Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences, some 25km from Dehradun.

A team of doctors led by Dr S L Jethani said Ramdev's condition was deteriorating by the hour, and his refusal to break his fast left the administration with no option but to hospitalize him. Seven days into his agitation for return of black money and in protest against police action on his Ramlila Maidan gathering, Ramdev was deyhdrated and had low pulse rate.

There were attempts to force-feed Baba Ramdev on Friday, said a source. The yoga guru was carried on a stretcher to an ambulance while his supporters shouted slogans against the Uttarakhand government.

A 2,000-strong crowd of Ramdev's supporters blocked the Delhi-Rishikesh National Highway for several hours. They refused to budge despite requests by police and local officials. Later in the evening, doctors said the Baba was being administered intravenous fluid — glucose and normal saline — and his condition was stable. "He is talking and there is no problem. His health is improving," Jethani, medical superintendent of the hospital, said. Spiritual guru and head of Art of Living foundation Sri Sri Ravi Shankar met Ramdev at the hospital and urged him to break his fast. Ramdev said he would not step back until the government accepted his demand to bring back black money stashed away in Swiss banks. Sri Sri told Ramdev he would speak to the UPA government about his demands. Brahma Dev, a spiritual guru, said the administrative action was unjust. "Ramdev's fast had led to a deterioration of his health. The way he was shifted to hospital against his wishes is against social and moral ethics," he said.

Baba Ramdev Shifted To Dehradun for Treatment

Amid high drama, yoga guru Ramdev, whose indefinite fast entered the seventh day on Friday, was shifted to a hospital in Dehradun as doctors attending on him opined that his health parameters were "worrisome".

A Patanjali Yogapeeth spokesman claimed that the decision to shift Ramdev to a hospital was taken by Uttarakhand chief minister Ramesh Pokhriyal, who gave directions to the Haridwar district magistrate in this regard. The 46-year-old yoga guru is being "taken to Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences in Dehradun", G S Martolia, SSP, Dehradun, told PTI. There was commotion at the ashram as some of Ramdev's supporters protested the district administration's move to shift him to hospital.

Some protestors even clashed with police when the yoga guru, who is on a fast against corruption and black money, was being taken on a stretcher. However, it was resolved immediately with the help of ashram authorities.

Doctors, who examined Ramdev in the morning, had said that he needed immediate hospitalisation. A close aide of Ramdev, Swami Sampoornand, claimed that the yoga guru had gone into an "unconscious state".

The doctors attending on him had sent in a recommendation for his hospitalisation on "priority basis" as they had found him suffering from dehydration and had advised him to break his fast, which rejected by the yoga exponent.

Baba Ramdev To Declare His Assets Today

IIPM announces Anna Hazare Fellowship

Yoga guru Baba Ramdev has said that he will declare his assets on Thursday evening, after allegations of running a huge empire of Rs 1,100 crore.

Ramdev has been accused of grabbing fertile farmland. Local residents including farmers launched a signature campaign against Baba Ramdev, and the Haridwar DM report says no land has been allotted to the baba, a defence that Ramdev had been citing.

Over 200 businesses from broadcasting companies including Aastha TV to food parks are run by his trusted lieutenants Acharya Balkrishna and Mukta Anand, according to reports. There are no specific charges against them that the finance ministry is looking at but a detailed income tax survey is currently being done.

Even Hindu spiritual leaders want Ramdev's assets probed. Baba Ramdev has also been accused of stamp duty evasion. Ramdev owes the exchequer Rs 58 lakh, says the Haridwar SDM, in not one or two, but a total of 16 orders. In fact he had ordered attachment proceedings in August last year.

Ramdev's aide Balkrishna is also under scrutiny. The Uttarakhand Intelligence Bureau confirmed that Balkrishna, the right hand man of yoga guru Baba Ramdev may have violated the Arms Act. The Prime Minister's office has ordered a probe in the case.

Balkrishna is a citizen of Nepal, but he claimed he was born in Haridwar. His passport number A S 245797 from the Bareilly passport office needs to be investigated under the Passport Act, says the report to the State Police Chief.

Ramdev, however, said that he has always supported law in the country and have never spoken about breaking the law. He also said that there are many things he has to do before he breaks his fast against corruption and black money. "Till the time my goal is not achieved, I will continue the fast. Whether I live or die, I will support the cause," Ramdev said.

Doctors advised liquid intake to Ramdev and requested him to end his fast soon after health started deteriorating as his fast for tougher anti-graft laws and bringing back black money from foreign nations, continued in Haridwar.

Biyani joins issue with Mukesh Ambani on retail claim

Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani’s claim that Reliance Retail has become the largest food retailer in the country has left his competitors unimpressed.

Reliance Retail, which started in 2006, runs over 1,000 stores across 86 cities. Of this, over half (nearly 600) are supermarkets called Reliance Fresh which mainly sell food and grocery items. The company also runs mini-hypermarkets and hypermarkets under the name Reliance Super and RelianceMart respectively. All the three formats are the in the value segment.Other retailers in the food and grocery segment say Reliance may be the largest in terms of stores but not in revenues. “You can check out the numbers to find out who is the largest. They might be large in terms of food and grocery store presence, but we are the largest in terms of revenues,” says Kishore Biyani, chief executive of the Future Group.

According to Biyani, his revenues from food and grocery will be over Rs 3,200 crore in 2010-11 (the financial year for the group’s flagship company Pantaloon, ends on June 30).But that is only marginally more than the Rs 3,132-crore turnover of Reliance Retail. A quick look at RIL’s FY 2011 annual report reveals that Reliance Fresh has posted a turnover of Rs 2,513 crore during the last financial year, while Reliance Hypermart posted revenues of Rs 619 crore.

While Reliance Retail’s total loss was Rs 351 crore during the year, Reliance Fresh accounted for Rs 159.94 crore and Reliance Hypermart Rs 86.99 crore. Comparative numbers for the Future Group’s food and grocery business are not published.

According to a top executive of a food and grocery chain, while Future Group is the largest food and grocery retail chain, Reliance Retail comes second and Aditya Birla Retail third.

Birla Retail, which runs 560 supermarkets and 10 hypermarkets, posted Rs 1,650 crore turnover in 2010-11, of which Rs 1,500 crore came from retailing of food and grocery products.

Early last year, Reliance brought executives from Tesco Lotus of Thailand to spearhead its value formats.

“Though we have not seen the evidence of good growth, I feel the look and feel of their stores have improved and operations are streamlined. But I do not think they have opened new stores in the last one to two years,” the executive said.

In his speech at the company’s annual general meeting last week, Ambani said Reliance opened 90 stores in the value and speciality segment in the financial year 2010-11. “Reliance Retail has made substantial investments over the last five years to establish a vast retail network with a robust supply chain, cutting edge technology and a procurement network reaching directly to tens if thousands of small traders, farmers and manufactures,” Ambani said.

Ambani added that every week, 2.5 million customers shop in Reliance Retail’s stores and that would increase multi-fold in the years to come on the back of aggressive investment planned to grow the value format.

Biyani’s Future group has different formats in the food and grocery segment. It has no-frills stores called KB’s FairPrice in the lower end, Food Bazaar and Foodrite in the medium end and recently opened Foodhall in the upper end.

Future Group runs 206 Food Bazaars, 198 KB’s FairPrice and one store each in both Foodrite and Foodhall.

Pakistani Soldiers Killed in Border Fighting

At least 28 Pakistani soldiers have been killed after two days of intense fighting with militants who crossed the border from Afghanistan into northwestern Pakistan, local police officials said Thursday. As many as 45 militants were killed, the officials said. The figures could not be independently verified.

Three civilians, including two women, were also killed in the clashes, and three Pakistani soldiers were missing. It was unclear whether they had been killed or had been abducted by the attackers. At least 200 militants crossed the border on Wednesday morning and attacked a police post in Barawal, a village surrounded by rugged mountains and forests in the Shaltalo area of Upper Dir, a district in northwestern Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province. Shaltalo is near the border with Kunar Province of Afghanistan.
The fighters took up positions in the surrounding mountains and also attacked troops from hide-outs in the thick forest outside the village. They destroyed at least two schools and set several houses on fire. By Thursday afternoon, the intensity of the fighting was diminishing, and by the evening the troops had regained the advantage, the police said.

“The situation is under control,” said Jawahir Ali, a junior police official in Barawal.
Pakistani officials lodged a protest with the Afghan government late Thursday. Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir conveyed “strong concern” about the matter, according to a statement from the Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The statement said that as many as 400 Afghan militants had been involved in the attack. Mr. Bashir demanded a strong response from the Afghan Army and United States and NATO forces against militants in Afghanistan, the statement said.

The border with Afghanistan in Dir district is porous and unguarded at most of the crossings, making infiltration easier. An army border checkpoint is located at Shahi, about 19 miles from Barawal.

Several of the militants fled back into Afghanistan during the night, said Murad Ali Shah, a police official in Barawal। Mr. Shah said that there had been no arrests and that the fighters were thought to have taken the militants killed during the fighting back to Afghanistan. “The terrorists don’t leave their dead behind,” he said.

The militants used heavy weapons in their attack and wore military fatigues similar to those of Pakistani security forces.

NATO officials in Afghanistan say there are as many as 100 fighters with Al Qaeda who are active in eastern Afghanistan, most of them in Kunar Province, which is adjacent to Dir।
