Scientists at the Aryabhatta ResearchInstitute of Observational Sciences(ARIES) here have discovered 28new variable stars in the Milky Waygalaxy.

ARIES Director Wahab Uddindescribed the finding of the new vari-able stars, whose luminosity orbrightness keeps changing, as a "rareachievement".

It is for the first time that variablestars have been identified in Globu-lar cluster NGC 4147 in the constel-lation of Coma Berenices, said for-mer director of ARIES, Anil Pande,who now works at the institute as a

senior scientist."The discovery by ARIES scien-

tists could be crucial in advancing

knowledge about the composition ofglobular clusters in general," Pandetold. Besides the detection of new

variable stars, the study also providesimportant insights into the internalstructure of NGC 4147 which is lo-cated closer to the Earth than previ-ously thought, he said.

"The ARIES team of researchersled by Dr. Sneh Lata and Dr. A KPandey performed photometric ob-servations of globular cluster NGC4147 using 3.6 metre Devasthal Op-tical Telescope (DOT) established in2016 near Nainital," Pande said.

A variable star is a star whose lu-minosity or brightness changes."This change may be caused due toperiodical swelling and shrinking ofthe star or occasional block of lightdue to an eclipse by some other solarbody," he said.

Veteran BJP leader B S Yeddyu-rappa was on Friday swon in asKarnataka Chief Minister, threedays after the fall of the Con-gress-JD(S) coalition govern-ment, bringing the state back un-der saffron rule yet again.

At a ceremony boycotted bythe Congress and the JD(S), the76-year-old leader, who be-comes the 25 chief minister ofthe state, was administered theoath of office and secrecy byGovernor Vajubhai Vala. Outgo-ing chief minister H D Ku-maraswamy also kept away.

Yeddyurappa, who was tak-ing oath of office for the fourthtime, was the only to be sworn intoday. He would induct moreministers once he proves his ma-jority, which he has been askedto do by July 31.

The six-time MLA, a strongLingayat leader from Shivamo-ga, was chief minister for threeyears between 2008 and 2011while the other two times hecould not last beyond 7 days andtwo days.

Former chief minister S M

Krishna, who had joined BJPmore than three years ago, BJPGeneral Secrtary V MurlidharRao, party MPs Shoba Karand-laje and Tejasvi Surya wereamong the prominent peoplewho attended the function.

In a surprise development,the BJP, which was earlier saidto have been cautious about stak-ing claim to form the govern-ment in view of the uncertaintyover the fate of rebel Congress-JD(S) MLAs, gave the go aheadto Yeddyurappa, who he said hewas going to meet the Governoron the instructions of party Pres-ident Amit Shah and WorkingPresident J P Nadda. After meet-ing the Governor, he said he hasbeen asked to prove his majorityby Julyl 31. An hour ahead of theoath-taking ceremony, he ad-dressed the BJP workers at theparty office here, after which heoffered prayers at KaduMalleshwara temple in Bengalu-ru. Yeddyurappa first tookcharge as the Chief Minister ofKarnataka in 2007 but couldhold on to the post for mere sev-en days as the JD(S) withdrewsupport and President's rule wasimposed in the state.

As the nation celebrates 20th anniver-sary of Indian Army’s victory in theKargil war, Army Chief General BipinRawat on Friday warned Pakistan of a‘bloodier nose’ if it chooses to go intoanother war with India.

''This was a misadventure. Misad-ventures are normally not repeated.You'll get a bloodier nose next time,”General Rawat said when asked for hismessage to Pakistan at a press confer-

ence in Drass in Ladakh region duringthe Kargil Vijay Diwas celebrations onFriday.

Gen Rawat said he wants to conveyto the countrymen that they can be restassured that any task given to defenceservices will always be accomplished nomatter how difficult it is. ''Our soldierswill continue to man and guard our bor-ders,'' he said.

''I recall the statement by the thenPrime Minister (Atal Bihari) Vajpayeewhen he said that Indian forces havebeen directed to remove infiltration. Hewent to add that even before we launchthe forces, we are confident the victorywill be ours, and the forces didn't let himdown,'' the Army chief said.

Despite icy heights and difficult cir-cumstances, he said Indian soldier en-sured that the task given to him wascompleted. ''He knew that he had to live

by the reputation of Indian Army,'' hesaid. Gen Rawat said today is a day topay homage to those who laid theirlives, those who were wounded and tothose who supported the units and for-mations involved in combat. Talkingabout the modernising the Army’s in-ventory, the Army chief said that the fo-cus is on the Artillery weapon system.''We are looking at modernising our in-ventory. Our focus is on Artilleryweapon system, by 2020 we will get theHowitzers. We are manufacturing K-9Vajra in collaboration with South Koreain the country now. Two Bofors likeguns are also being manufactured local-ly under Make in India,'' he said. How-ever, he said the modernisation of the in-ventory can’t happen overnight. ''…be-cause the new technology is coming in,it don’t mean that the weapon systemwhich you have will stop firing andcan’t be used. We are still using age oldweapons, and they have not become ob-solete,'' he said. Gen Rawat said oncethe Artillery weapon system is mod-ernised then the Army will shift its focuson mechanised forces.

Revolt is brewing in the Aam Aadmi Party(AAP) in Haryana. Majority of the party leadershave opened front against the state presidentNaveen Jaihind and are gunning for his ouster atthe earliest. Dissension has come at a crucialtime when the party is trying to make a seriousattempt to contest the forthcoming Vidhan Sab-ha election for the first time in the state. Talkingto Bright Punjab Express today, Yogeshar Shar-ma, AAP’s Lok Sabha president in Ambala andPanchkula district president said the party lead-ers are fed up with the dictatorial attitude of statepresident Naveen Jaihind and want to replacehim at any cost. Sharma said their resentment isneither against party coordinator Arvind Kejri-wal, nor against Gopal Rai who is in-charge ofHaryana affairs or co-worker Sushil Gupta.Their resentment is only against Naveen Jaihind,who he alleged often uses foul language anddoes not give respect to any state leader.

Many state leaders including Rohtak LokSabha president of AAP, Pankaj Beniwal,Statespokesperson RM Rathi, state executive mem-ber Vivek Lamba, Gurujram, Lok SabhaSpeaker Manjeet Zeldar, Bhiwani Lok Sabha

Speaker General Ranvir Yadav, Bhiwani dis-trict president Pawan Hindustani, Panchkulaorganizational in charge Surendra Rathi, Am-bala Lok Sabha SC cell development Choud-hary, Sonipat Lok Sabha organization ministerAnil Tusir etc. are against the dictarmorial at-titude of Naveen Jaihind and are demandinghis ouster from the party post at the earliest.

Yogeshwar Sharma alleged that none ofthe state AAP leaders have any personal rival-ry with Naveen Jaihind. They all are upset be-cause of their uncouth behavior of Naveenwho often used abuisive language. Sharmacharged that the party could not perform wellin the Lok Sabha elections because of poorleadership quality of Naveen Jaihind. Apartfrom this, the party leaders continued to takemoney from party workers every time in thename of the party fund, but there was no ac-count of money collected from them. He saidNaveen Jaihind was also promoting caste byprefixing `Pandit’ to his name. He said that allthese things were told to the party high com-mand. That is why meetings of the Lok Sabhawere held from June 12 to June 23, 2019 for dis-cussions on the instructions of party nationalconvenor Arvind Kejariwal, on how to strength-en the Haryana state organization.

SANT RAJINDER SINGHJI

As we look at our lives,at times we may be-come despondent. We

often look only at those areaswhere we feel we are havinga lot of pain. As human be-ings, it is our tendency to fo-cus on those areas that give ustrouble. Times of pain maycome to each of us through-out our lives.

Many human beings fo-cus more on what they do nothave rather than on what theydo have. As they focus onwhat they do not have, they

get into a de-pressed mood.As we look atour lives, wefind there aremany times inwhich we donot feel well

because things are not hap-pening according to what weexpect. There are people whoperpetually stay in that statebecause they do not have thestrength, the know-how, orthe guidance to get out of thatstate of depression.

Whenever the saintscome into this world, they arealways asking us to look atthe brighter side of life. Theywant to teach us a way to lookat a much deeper aspect ofour life. The saints tell us that,even though we might have a

Master’s degree or a PhD, ourknowledge is still limited. Aswe go through life, we use theknowledge that we do have orthat we have learned or thatwe received as a gift of God.

When we look at theteachings of the great saintsand mystics, time and againthey tell us that all of us whohave come into the humanbody have a common pur-pose. That purpose is for us totruly know ourselves and tohave communion or mergerin the Lord. The great saintssay that irrespective of howwe feel, we need to take stepstowards our goal.

Since our human systemis set up to focus on fulfillingour desires, what is needed isthe right kind of desire. Thefirst thing is to recognisewhat is most important inlife, and that is to truly fulfil

the very purpose of our exis-tence. Once we recognisethat the true purpose of ourexistence is to recognise ourtrue self, then we have totake steps towards that goal.Since our true existence is atthe level of our soul, we needto know more about the soul.To know about our soul, weneed to meditate. We need togo within ourselves.

In everyone’s life, thereare many ups and downs.There are times of happinessand then there are times ofpain.

Our life is like a pendu-lum. It swings from times ofhappiness to times of sorrowand back. The right way ofliving is not to be affected bythese times. We need to facethe challenges of life. Weneed to have equipoise in ourlife.

YUGMARG, CHANDIGARH, SATURDAY, JULY 27, 2019

The new anti-terror Unlawful Activities (Prevention)Amendment Bill gives the country’s security agenciesextraordinary powers. The government is offering assur-

ances that the power to name individuals, including suspects,as “terrorists”, and even seize their property will not be mis-used. But history suggests that the more powers are given to in-vestigators, the more they will be misused, with not only sus-pects but also innocents feeling the heat of interrogation meth-ods that may breach human rights. The effect of the new pro-visions, which will become a part of the law when the bill pass-es in the Rajya Sabha, is that India will become more of a se-curity state like Israel, Turkey or Russia, where the securityforces will have a free run against anyone seen as non-con-formist with those running the State. There have been far toomany cases of terror suspects being incarcerated for decadesbefore being let off for want of evidence, and all we have thenare hardened criminals let loose on society, defeating the aimof averting acts of terrorism.

The passing of the NIA Bill and the Protection of HumanRights Act, which waters down the role of the InformationCommission, and the whittling down of the RTI Act into a paleshadow of itself reveal a pattern in which the State is empow-ering itself to the extent of not being legally accountable. TheUAPA aims to replace Tada and Pota, but each successive up-grade only puts more powers in the hands of the investigators.Terrorism is the modern world’s biggest and most disruptivethreat, and must be rooted out. Those indulging in it or plan-ning to do so must face the consequences. However, there is noguarantee that the strictest laws will prevent terrorist attacks.There are issues involving the centralisation of powers at thehands of the Centre, which may also not go down well withstate governments. While all governments at the Centre showa tendency to concentrate powers with itself, it is the larger fearof misuse of such power that suggests we are getting into a sit-uation truly unworthy of a democratic order.

The opaqueness in sharing of information protects virtualpolice states from having to be accountable. The law will as-sign absolute powers to the Centre as it may deem any activi-ty, including what may be normal democratic dissent, as un-lawful, and may declare it so. The home minister’s assertionthat the so-called “Urban Maoists” will not be spared triggersdisturbing anxieties over where this is all heading. While allstates must encourage real-time information sharing and an ac-tive cyber presence to ferret out malcontents without fear oflosing ground to the Centre, it is incumbent for Central inves-tigating agencies not to usurp the powers of states. A discern-ing apparatus to undertake counter-terror operations is the needof the hour — that requires smarter policing more than sweep-ing powers.

EditorialRoom for concernon anti-terror bill

From the humdrum exis-tence as a governmentclerk and a hardware

storeowner to becoming thechief minister for a fourthtime, B S Yediyurappa hasnavigated the choppy watersof politics with the consum-mate ease of a seasoned oars-man. The rare smile is back onthe ever grim-looking Yediyu-rappa's face as he took over asthe chief minister, 14 monthsafter he demitted the office,unable to prove the majorityin the State Assembly. In a re-peat of sorts, it has not been aneasy ascent to power for the76-year-old Lingayat strong-man this time too as a murkylegal battle and weeks of po-litical drama preceded histakeover.

Losing power after havingcome so close, Yediyurappawas determined to regain thereins of power from H D Ku-maraswamy, whose partyJD(S) cobbled up a post pollalliance with the Congressand managed to overthrow histhree-day-old BJP govern-ment on May 19, 2018.

Yediyurappa had to resignas CM as he could not mustera majority after staking claimto form the government on theground that his party hademerged as the single largestone.

Another interesting ele-ment in Yediyurappa's strug-gle to power this time is, it isbeing seen as his last chance,considering his age and BJP'spolicy of retirement fromelectoral politics to its leaders

who have crossed 75. A hard-boiled RSS swayamsevak, 76-year-old Bookanakere Sid-dalingappa Yediyurappajoined the Hindu right organi-sation when he was barely 15,and cut his political teeth inthe Jana Sangh, the BJP'sforerunner, in his hometownShikaripura in Shivamoggadistrict.

He became the JanaSangh's Shikaripura talukchief in the early 1970s.Yediyurappa, who began hiselectoral politics as Purasabhapresident in Shikaripura,wasfirst elected to the Assemblyfrom Shikaripura in 1983 andwent on to win eight timesfrom there. Along with beingparty's state unit president, hehas also served as oppositionLeader in the Legislative As-sembly, member of Legisla-tive Council, as also member

of parliament. He is known tohave espoused the cause offarmers. A Bachelor of Arts,Yediyurappa, who was jailedduring Emergency, worked asa clerk in the social welfaredepartment before taking up asimilar job at a rice mill in hisnative Shikaripura before heset up his hardware shop inShivamogga.

He married Maitradevi,daughter of the rice mill own-er, where he worked, onMarch 5, 1967 and has twosons and three daughters.

Yediyurappa may havelanded in the hot seat in 2004when the BJP emerged as thesingle largest party, but theCongress and JD(S) of formerprime minister H D DeveGowda formed an alliance,and a government was formedunder Dharam Singh. Knownfor his political acumen,

Yediyurappa joined handswith Kumaraswamy, DeveGowda's son, in 2006 andbrought down the DharamSingh government after thechief minister was indicted byLokayukta in an alleged min-ing scam.

Under a rotational chiefministership arrangement,Kumaraswamy became theCM and Yediyurappa hisdeputy.Yediyurappa becameCM for the first time in No-vember 2007 but his term last-ed just seven days as Ku-maraswamy reneged on apower sharing pact andwalked out of the alliance.

He was made the chiefminister once again after theBJP came to power in May2008 but had to step down inJuly 2011 following his in-dictment by the thenLokayukta N Santosh Hegdein an illegal mining case.

In the 2008 polls, Yediyu-rappa led the party to victory,and the first BJP governmentin the south was formed underhim. Soon controversiesswirled around Yediyurappaover alleged abuse of office tofavour his sons in allotment ofland in Bengaluru and he wasforced to resign on July 31,2011 following indictment byLokayukta in an illegal min-ing scam. On October 15 thatyear, he surrendered beforethe Lokayukta court after it is-sued a warrant against him inconnection with alleged landscams,and was in jail for aweek. Sulking after havingbeen made to quit, Yediyurap-

pa broke his decades-long as-sociation with the saffron par-ty and formed the KarnatakaJanata Paksha.

However, ploughing alonely furrow, he failed tomake the KJP a force to reck-on with in state politics butwrecked the BJP's chances ofretaining power in the 2013polls, winning six seats andpolling about 10 per centvotes. As Yediyurappa facedan uncertain future and theBJP looked for a leader with aformidable reputation to lendits campaign the required heftahead of the 2014 Lok Sabhapolls, the two cosied up toeach other, leading to theKCP's merger with the BJP onJanuary 9, 2014.

In the Lok Sabha election,the BJP won 19 of the state's28 seats, a remarkable turn-around for the party whichhad secured only 19.9 per centvotes in the Assembly pollsjust a year ago leading to thefall of its first government.Notwithstanding the corrup-tion taint, Yediyurappa's statusand clout grew in the BJP. OnOctober 26, 2016, he got ahuge relief when a specialCBI court acquitted him, histwo sons and son-in-law in aRs 40 crore illegal miningcase, which had cost him thechief ministership in 2011. InJanuary 2016, the KarnatakaHigh Court quashed all 15FIRs against Yediyurappalodged by Lokayukta policeunder the Prevention of Cor-ruption Act.In April that year,he was appointed the state

BJP chief for the fourth time.The Lingayat leader, however,continued to be dogged bycontroversies, with the anti-corruption bureau launchingproceedings against him in analleged illegal land denotifica-tion case, which was stayedby the high court followinghis plea. The BJP declaredhim its chief ministerial can-didate in the 2018 assemblypolls, ignoring the taunts bythe Congress. As the pollsthrew up a hung verdict, withno party getting a clear major-ity in the 225-member House(including Speaker), the Gov-ernor invited Yediyurappa toform the government andgave him 15 days to prove themajority.

However,the SupremeCourt asked him to prove themajority in the House follow-ing a plea by the Congress-JDS challenging the gover-nor's decision to invite theBJP to form government.

The three-day-old BJPgovernment collapsed on May19, minutes before the sched-uled trust vote, with him re-signing in a tame anti-climaxand hours later Ku-maraswamy, the chief minis-terial candidate of the newlyformed JD(S)-Congress al-liance, was invited to form thegovernment. In the last overone year, BJP under Yediyu-rappa managed to keep thecoalition government on ten-terhooks as the ruling com-bine constantly feared poach-ing of MLAs by the saffronparty.

Yediyurappa:Comeback manwho has surmounted the odds

How we can rise above pain with equipoiseWhenever the saints come into this world, they are always

asking us to look at the brighter side of life It took the lives of 527 goodsoldiers, with over 1,100others wounded, to regain

what was inadvertently lostwithout a shot being fired atthe Kargil heights in May-July 1999. Famously knownas “Operation Vijay”, it was aseries of attritional battlesfought by the Indian Army atheights of 16,000-18,000 feetto evict the Pakistan Army’sintrusion across the Line ofControl on a frontage of al-most 130 km. There are manydimensions of this conflictwith Pakistan and the dearthof literature leaves little forthe public to satisfy its urge toknow more. The 20th anniver-sary of the conflict (or war) isas good an occasion as any torevive these memories and ex-amine why as a nation wefailed to prevent the intrusion,leading to such intense mili-tary action that had to be un-dertaken.

The war was India’s firsttelevised one, with pictures ofthe battlefront beamed live todrawing rooms. It helped gen-erate tremendous empathy forsoldiers nationwide. While thepresent is a moment in whichwe need to express our empa-thy for the families of martyrsand renew our pledge to lookafter them, it is equally a timefor professional introspection.This professional commen-tary in no way trivialises thetremendous sacrifice of thosewho lost a son, brother or hus-

band; every Indian respectsthem. In the brief space hereit’s important to focus on theissues of why, how and whatnext. Kargil happened be-cause of the ambitions of thethen Pakistan Army Chief,Gen. Pervez Musharraf, andhis small coterie of officers,keeping then Pakistan PMNawaz Sharif and the othertwo service chiefs in the dark.What rankled him and manyin his army was the fact thatthe Indian Army had beatenthem to the occupation of theSiachen Glacier and SaltoroRidge in April 1984, a factthat was never admitted to thepeople of Pakistan, or the me-dia there. Gen. Musharraf inhis avatar as a special Forcescommander in 1987 made nu-

merous attempts to secure atoehold on Saltoro but wasbeaten back by determined In-dian soldiers.

He observed that the Indi-an Army's vulnerability lay inits extended logisticstail,which went back to Jam-mu and Srinagar via Manaliand the Zojila Pass respective-ly. The Upshi-Manali-Pathankot road was as it is anunstable artery capable ofonly limited maintenance. TheSrinagar-Zojila-Leh-BaseCamp axis was at its weakestat the Zojila-Kargil stretch of120 km. It is here that it couldbe dominated if a Pakistani in-trusion across the LoC wasmade. It would mean majorconstraints for the IndianArmy in maintaining Ladakh,

and by implication Siachen,forcing the latter’s evacuation.The opportunity existed andGen. Musharraf knew thateach year in winter botharmies pulled back to admin-istratively friendlier locationsdue to high snow levels. In1999, he decided to return ear-lier than spring to occupy thevacated heights and unheld ar-eas, and sent his troops deep-er to occupy the Indian vacat-ed heights too to achieve hismission.

Were there any indicatorsof such an impending action?That’s a debatable issue, andinconclusive. However, to saythere were no infirmities inthe Indian defensive posture,intelligence-gathering and itsanalysis would be a mis-nomer. To begin with, the Sri-nagar-based HQ 15 Corpsbore operational responsibili-ty far in excess of its capabili-ty to handle.

Its remit extended fromthe Jawahar Tunnel to Dem-chok and responsibility in-cluded countering the high-scale terror campaign in theValley, the LoC’s full securityfrom Gulmarg to Point 9842,and beyond, along the ActualGround Position Line(AGPL) to the Siachen Glaci-er. Eastern Ladakh’s Line ofActual Control (with China)was also within its responsi-bility. With staff insufficientfor full focus on all these, aglitch could take place some-

where. And it did.Prime Minister Atal Be-

hari Vajpayee’s noble effort,the Lahore Yatra, may alsohave lulled the security man-agers to a greater focus on in-ternal security dynamics, butthere were also prevalentmindsets which existed. At thefar end of what is called the“exterior lines of communica-tion”, Kargil as a choice forlaunch of large-scale opera-tions by Pakistan was a virtu-al “no-go”, but as a stand-alone operation it was sustain-able. The Indian Army’smindset was that it would be awar or nothing — the interme-diate option did not resonateas an option. That's the optionGen.

Musharraf chose, al-though it was no great strate-gic or tactical choice becausethe response from India couldnot be legislated by Pakistan.The response was slow due tothe uncertainty, and delayedresults of initial probes fullyunderstandable. But when theIAF and the Indian Army fi-nally decided to forcefullyevict the intrusion, they wereconstrained. The political di-rective not to cross the LoCmeant the IAF would have tomake runs parallel to the LoC.It also meant that the tech-niques of manoeuvre in themountains through rear andflank attacks, including road-blocks, had to give way to at-tritional frontal assaults.

LIKE IN TUNISIA, GO BEYOND THE ISLAM VSDEMOCRACY DEBATE

All those who are inter-ested in reconcilingthe role of religion in

private life with the secularimperatives of a modern,democratic state will findmuch to ponder in Tunisia’sreconstruction of the stateover only eight years or so.

Gaining independencefrom the French in 1956,Tunisia took quick strides to-wards building a modern, sec-ular state under its first Presi-dent, Habib Bourguiba. Hisbest known legal reform(1957), the Code of PersonalLaws, was the first law in theMuslim world related to mar-riage, guardianship of chil-

dren, and inheritance; it alsoabolished polygamy andmade divorce subject to judi-cial review.

However, the authoritari-an streak in Bourguiba’smakeup, combined withboundless corruption, becamethe culture of the state duringthe 23-year rule of his succes-sor Ben Ali. The result was astrong religious backlash, re-ligious parties’ gains in elec-tions, followed by their brutalsuppression. The conflict be-tween the religious and stateforces came to a head in 2011when Tunisia had a revolu-tion that sparked the ArabSpring. After the collapse of

the Ben Ali regime, Ennahda,a moderate Islamist move-ment, formed the govern-ment. A new Constitution wasdrafted in 2014 and after elec-tions under it, Ennahda as thelargest single group formedthe government. In 2016, En-nahda rebranded itself as thepost-Islamist political partyof Muslim democrats, thusdrawing a line between reli-gion and politics. Islam is thestate religion but the coun-try’s name is the Republic ofTunisia. A number of reformmeasures have been adopted.The Constitution grants equalrights to all citizens, regard-less of belief or gender. In

While speaking inZero Hour in Lok Sabha, hesaid the stray animal issue isaffecting people in every partof the country. The currentarrangements are inadequateand as a result, farmers aresuffering immensely andthere is a rise in road mishapsdue to the stray animals.Given the historical Indiantraditions of co-existence andworship of so many animalsits imperative that theGovernment of India bringsin a Central Law to deal with

the issue. While elaborating his

demand, He said that strayanimals have become a bigproblem in Punjab. Toresolve this issue some pointsare needed consideration.Stray cattle have caused hugeloss to farmers by wanderinginto farms and destroying

crops. There have been anumber of accidents causedby stray cattle on roads and invillage/town streets. This isespecially a problem formotorcyclists.

He said that a number ofincidents have been reportedwhere dogs have attackedand injured, and in somecases even killed, children.Majority of these animalshave not been vaccinated, donot have proper healthcare orhave do not have access tofood leading to very poorquality of life for them.Municipal bodies andPanchayats do not haveadequate resources or trainedmanpower to tackle theproblem of stray animals.

He said that the problemneeds to be looked at fromtwo angles- firstly, the loss ofproperty and life caused bythe animals. Secondly, theanimals themselves aresuffering due to a lack ofhealthcare and propersources of food.

He said that this is amatter of great shame sinceall our ancient texts not onlygive a position of respect toso many animals whom weworship but also stress on theco-dependence and co-existence of man and animalsthrough folk stories andfestivals. He urged thegovernment to come up witha central law to tackle theproblem.

NEW DELHI: Hockey India on Friday named a 18-member Indian women's team for the Tokyo Olympics test event to be held from August 17-21. The team is almost similar to the one which participated at the FIH Women's Series Finals in Hiroshima, Japan with chief coach Sjoerd Marijnethe having opted for just two changes. Youngsters Sharmila Devi and Reena Khokhar were named in the team in place of Sunita Lakra and Jyoti. Khokhar had been sidelined due to an injury but makes a comeback into the side after recovering successfully, while Sharmila will be expecting to make her debut for the national side. Striker Rani Rampal remained the captain while goalkeeper Savita will be her deputy. The Indian team, currently no. 10 in the FIH Rankings, will face tough challenges as it will be up against the likes of world no. 2 Australia, China.

NEW DELHI: It was raining sixes in the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) clash Thursday between TUTI Patriots and Lyca Kovai Kings at NPR College Ground in Dindigul. A total of 30 sixes were hit in a rain-curtained 13-overs per side match between the two sides. Both TUTI Patriots and Lyca Kovai Kings hit 15 sixes each in their innings and broke the record of most sixes in an innings in TNPL history. The short boundaries motivated batsmen to take the aerial route on most occasions, which resulted in at least eight balls going missing during the match. Seeing this, Dindigul Dragons’ skipper Ravichandran Ashwin tweeted: Out of the 304 runs scored in the match, 180 runs were scored through sixes, almost 60 per cent of the total runs. There were only 10 fours hit in the entire match. Lyca Kovai Kings relied heavily on sixes as their innings included just three fours.

He must learnt to retain focus for six full minutes: Shako

NEW DELHI: Medal-contender Bajrang Punia must shed the habit of losing focus if he is to stand atop the podium at the Tokyo Games, warned his coach Shako Bentinidis while conceding that old habits die hard. The Georgian has immense faith in his ward, saying Bajrang is best among the current Indian crop but feels playing badly for just 30 seconds can ruin Olympic dreams. Bajrang has perched himself on the top of the UWW ranking table in 65kg after winning nine of his last 10 international assignments, including the 2018 CWG and Asian Games. The only final he lost was at the World Championship last year. "The biggest problem with Bajrang is that he loses focus sometimes and gives away points. It becomes a minus three, minus four start for him. We are working on it. It's difficult. When I came he was 18 now he is 26, so it's difficult to change but I am giving my best," said Shako after Bajrang won the World Championship trials.

Kapil-led CAC to pick India's next men's cricket coach

NEW DELHI, JUL 26

A Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) led by World Cup-winning former captain Kapil Dev was on Friday entrusted with the responsibility of selecting India's new coach, the interviews for which are expected to be conducted in mid-August. The decision was taken by the Committee of Administrators (COA) running Indian cricket after a meeting here. Apart from Kapil, the panel, which picked the women's coach in December last year, comprises former women's captain Shantha Rangaswamy and former men's coach Anshuman Gaekwad. "These three will pick the men's coach. It is not an ad-hoc body. But this all is subject to conflict of interest. The interviews of the candidates are expected to take place in mid-August," COA chief Vinod Rai said after the meeting. India's incumbent coach Ravi Shastri has been handed an extension till the end of the tour of West Indies from August 3 to September 3. Shastri will have to reapply to be in contention for the position.

The COA is, however, still awaiting Supreme Court directions on the conflict of interest case involving the original CAC members Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman. The two have been asked to choose one out of the multiple cricketing roles they are performing at the moment, including commentary. Only CAC is empowered to pick the head coach but with no clarity over the future of its high-profile members Ganguly, Laxman and Sachin Tendulkar the Kapil-led panel has been finalised for the men's appointment as well. "This CAC is specific for this coach selection process," Rai said.

LONDON: World governing body FIFA has sought an update from the All India Football Federation (AIFF) on the domestic turmoil surrounding the merger of two leagues into one top-tier national championship. The AIFF’s plan to merge the franchise-based Indian Super League (ISL) with the I-League has faced major obstacles and there is little clarity on the roadmap, leaving stakeholders and fans confused about the future of club football. Earlier this month, the AIFF openly backed the ISL as the country’s elite competition for the first time, saying it would recommend the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) awarded its champions a slot in the continent’s elite club competition.
