5 CRORE TRADERS CLOSED TODAY IN BHARAT BANDH

More than 5 crore business establishments across the Country observed Bharat Bandh today in response to a call given by political parties. As per an estimate Retail business worth 6000 crores of rupees effected resulting into a loss of about Rs. 800 crores from indirect taxes as revenue to the Government – said the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT).

CAIT National President B.C. Bhartia and Secretary General Mr. Praveen Khandelwal strongly questioned the so called “loss theory” of the Oil Companies which has prompted them to raise the petrol prices. They argued that if such Oil Companies are in losses than how come they are paying dividend to their shareholders and heavy bonus to their employees.

While demanding a Public Audit of the accounts of Oil Companies, both Mr. Bhartia and Mr. Khandelwal said that Oil Companies are showing huge profits in their annual accounts, so where is the question of incurring losses. 

When crude is processed there are number of items produced from crude. The Government should make people aware as to what all the items those processed from crude oil and what is the processed and sale prices of such items in the market. The govt should spell out the difference between the actual crude price, conversion value, tax component on Petrol and Diesel. Let there be transparency in the whole system-added the leaders.

WHO raises alarm over tobacco industry’s tactics

30 May 2012, New Delhi: On the occasion of World No Tobacco Day on 31 May, WHO is urging governments to beware of the tobacco industry’s interference in tobacco control programme. As countries move to meet their obligations under the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC), the tobacco industry is becoming more aggressive in its attempts to undermine the treaty by acting against the policies contained in it.
 The industry is targeting the youth through increased advertising budgets in several countries of the WHO South-East Asia Region. One in ten school students are offered free samples of tobacco products. The tobacco industry has sued central and local governments over the pictorial warnings on cigarette packets claiming that they infringe on the industry’s rights to use their legally-registered brands and freedom of speech. The Global Adult Tobacco Survey shows that health warnings are effective and a large number of tobacco users noticed the warnings and thought of quitting. Similarly, lawsuits have been filed against smoke-free laws against the Ministries of Health. The apex courts later rejected these contentions and upheld the regulations.
 “Governments must protect people’s health from tobacco use and be vigilant about the tobacco industry’s interference in tobacco control measures” said Dr Samlee Plianbangchang, WHO Regional Director for South-East Asia. ”WHO will enhance its support to government initiatives to fight the tobacco industry” he added.
India and Indonesia are among the top ten tobacco leaf producers in the world. In addition the Region is one of the largest producers of smokeless tobacco products. Ninety percent of global smokeless tobacco users live in the Region. Sale of smokeless tobacco products in India  increased by over 25% between 2005 and 2010.
 Ten out of 11 Member States in WHO’s South-East Asia Region are party to WHO FCTC and nine counties have adopted comprehensive tobacco control legislations. Many countries have established smoke-free public places and banned cigarette advertisements. Sale of tobacco to minors is prohibited in most Member States. Global Tobacco Surveillance has been implemented in ten Member States and nationwide Global Adult Tobacco Surveys have been conducted in Bangladesh, India, Indonesia and Thailand.
Nepal recently prohibited smoking and chewing tobacco in public places, mandated graphic health warnings and provisions for health funds from tobacco taxation.  Thailand has declared all public places 100% smoke-free and banned display of cigarette packs at sale counters. Eight cities were declared smoke-free in Indonesia in spite of the strong influence of the tobacco industry.
Though tobacco and tobacco products are in the sensitive list in South-Asia Free Trade Area (SAFTA), the ASEAN Free Trade Agreement (AFTA) aims to eliminate tariff barriers within the Region including tobacco. Tobacco companies in the Region are taking advantage of these liberal cross-border trade areas to the best of their advantage.
 WHO is urging governments to protect public health from the tobacco industry’s interference. Nongovernmental groups and academia must monitor and denounce this interference and the community must remain vigilant.

Julian Assange of WikiLeaks to be extradited to Sweden

 

Britain’s Supreme court  approves the extradition of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to Sweden over alleged sex crimes.The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld lower court rulings, calling Swedish authorities’ extradition request lawful.Julian Assange of  WikiLeaks  is accused of sexual misconduct against two women in Sweden. He was arrested in Britain in December 2010.

Julian Assange  had always denied the accusations during lower court hearings. He said his arrest was made for political reasons because his whistle-blowing website disclosed thousands of sensitive US diplomatic documents. Hence Assange was released on conditional bail and is staying at a friend’s house in Britain, wearing an electronic monitor so authorities can track his whereabouts.

China Leads Growth in Global Wind Power Capacity

PRESS RELEASE Wednesday, May 30, 2012 Contact: Supriya Kumar, skumar@worldwatch.org, (+1) 202-452-1992, ext. 510 For more information: http://www.worldwatch.org/china-leads-growth-global-wind-power-capacity   China Leads Growth in Global Wind Power Capacity      New Worldwatch Institute report discusses worldwide developments in wind power Washington, D.C.----Global installed wind power capacity continued to grow in 2011, albeit at a slightly lower rate than in 2009 and 2010, according to new research conducted by the Worldwatch Institute (www.worldwatch.org) for its Vital Signs Online service. The world now has approximately four times the installed wind capacity that it did in 2005, reflecting the combined effects of falling prices, improved technology, global investment, and various incentive programs. China led the way with a 43 percent share of global capacity additions in 2011, followed by the United States at 17 percent, India with almost 7 percent, and Germany at 5 percent, writes report author and Worldwatch's Climate and Energy Program Manager Mark Konold. "China continues to lead the world in wind capacity additions, having increased its capacity a remarkable 40 percent since 2010," said Konold. "But a gap remains between this installed capacity and the amount of wind power that is actually available for use in the country. Because of grid connection challenges and other issues, China is struggling to use all of the electricity generated by its turbines." Despite large increases in installed wind power capacity, several Chinese provinces, including Inner Mongolia and Gansu, have actually lost a significant portion of their generation capacity because of technical problems. Over the next five years, China plans to invest more than US$400 billion to make improvements to its electrical grid that will enable it to fully integrate its total installed wind capacity by 2015. In 2011, the United States accounted for approximately 17 percent of global wind power capacity additions. Although the country generated 27 percent more electricity from wind in 2011 than in 2010, wind power still accounts for less than 3 percent of total U.S. power generation, according to the report. Konold credits much of the growth in U.S. wind power capacity to the federal Production Tax Credit (PTC), which helped to finance approximately 4,000 megawatts of new capacity by reducing corporate income tax by 2.2 cents for every kilowatt-hour produced. But if the PTC is not extended beyond its scheduled expiration date at the end of this year, he cautions, the industry could be negatively affected. The report also discusses wind power developments in the European Union, where Germany regained its position as regional leader for installed capacity. Currently, wind accounts for almost 8 percent of the country's electricity consumption. Although Spain added only a third of total EU capacity since 2008, wind power accounts for almost 16 percent of the country's electricity consumption. Economic instability has had some negative impacts on European wind power, however, pushing future growth projections down and potentially hampering investment. Worldwide, wind power prices fell to $1.2 million per megawatt in the first half of 2011, mainly because of improvements in supply chain efficiency and economies of scale. Competition from Chinese manufacturers and their excess capacity to build machines and flood the market also played a role. In addition, the capacity factor of wind turbines (the ratio of actual output to nameplate capacity) continues to rise as better technologies enter the market, further driving down turbine costs. Combined, these factors are expected to bring down the cost of wind energy 12 percent by 2016, making onshore wind cost competitive with coal, gas, and nuclear power. "Global wind power growth looks very strong and is on a continued rise, largely because of China's incredible level of investment," said Konold. "Withhold that, and the picture looks more muddled. Developed economies are not reaching their fullest potential due to financial and policy uncertainty, and many developing economies are running into technical problems, despite slightly stronger growth in wind power capacity. Although continued growth in wind power won't be as strong as it could be, as the supply increases and prices fall, wind energy is quite likely to continue its upward trend." Further highlights from the report: Global installed wind power capacity grew 21 percent in 2011, lower than the 2010 rate of 24 percent and markedly lower than the 2009 rate of 31 percent.   Nearly $75 billion was invested in global wind energy installations in 2011, a 22 percent decrease from 2010. Although the United States lags behind Europe and China in offshore wind power capacity, the U.S. Department of Energy plans to make available $180 million over the next six years to support up to four innovative wind farms off the coasts or in the Great Lakes.

AP HC verdict against Muslim reservation

AP HC verdict against Muslim reservation - a slap on the face of UPA says VHP:Govts & Polititians needs to introspect & come out of apeasement politics Chandrababu should not become modern Nizam of Hyderabad

New Delhi May 29, 2012. Welcomming APHC verdict against muslim reservation VHP Delhi today passed a resolution terming it a slap on the face of UPA for its divisible politics and advise all governments and the political parties to keep away from apeasement policies based on communal grouds. After its meeting VHP state Gen Secretary shri Satyendra Mohan asked UPA for immediate withdrawal of its order and apologise to the nation in this regard.

Briefing media after the meeting in the VHP state HQtrs in Jhandewalan its Media chief Vinod Bansal said that we have already organised Hindu Sarv Jati Mahapanchayat in Talkatora stadium of the national capital last week where thousands of delegates from different sacts, casts & creeds of Hindu community determind to scrape it. Our campaign will further be intensified if union government do not roll it back forthwith. Govt should now learn a lesson as it is not new but this is forth time when high court has rejected this communal order, said Bansal.

Harendra, Shamim & Dawar in joint second

Chandigarh, May 29, 2012: R Srinivas of Bangalore produced a sizzling
five-under-67 to claim the first round lead at the PGTI Players
Championship being played at the Chandigarh Golf Club. Chandigarh’s
Harendra Gupta and the Delhi duo of Shamim Khan and Naman Dawar are in
joint second at four-under-68.

R Srinivas had an exceptional opening round thanks to his brilliant
short-game. His first birdie of the day came on the second hole where
he chipped it to within a few inches. This was followed by a 15-feet
birdie putt on the third. The bogey on the fourth did not prove too
costly for Srinivas as he came back strongly with a brilliant
eight-iron shot to set up a birdie on the eighth.

The short and stocky Srinivas, who is yet to win his maiden
professional title, collected three birdies in a row from the 11th
through the 13th to take his score to five under. He chipped-in from
the bunker on the 11th and then missed an eagle by a whisker with his
nine-iron approach shot on the 12th. Srinivas garnered his final
birdie of the day on the 13th by sinking a 15-feet putt.

Srinivas said, “With the wind being up, club-selection wasn’t easy.
I’m delighted to have shot my best score of the season so far despite
the tough conditions. The highlight of my round was my excellent
chipping and putting. I also hit it quite close with my short-irons.”

Harendra Gupta did not have the best of starts as he bogeyed the
opening hole after a poor tee-shot. Gupta, however, picked up three
birdies in quick succession on the second, third and fifth to move to
two under. He converted a 25-footer on the third.

Harendra carried on the good work on the back-9. He sank a 15-feet
birdie putt on the 15th and then landed his chip from 15 yards to
within four feet for another birdie on the 17th.

Gupta said, “I’ve made a good start to the week. I generally play well
at my home course and therefore the confidence is high this week. I
hit some decent approach shots today and also putted well. It was
windy in the second half of the day but I hung in there and didn’t
give away any shots.”

Shamim Khan knocked down 15-feet birdie putts on the second and 12th
and landed it within a foot of the pin for birdie on the 17th in his
round of 68. He had two other birdies and a bogey.

Naman Dawar joined Harendra and Shamim in joint second after he made
an eagle, five birdies and three bogeys in the opening round thanks to
his superb ball-striking.

Manish Goyal, Rashid Khan, Shankar Das, Raju Ali Mollah and M Dharma
are in tied fifth with matching scores of three-under-69.

Shankar Das of Kolkata and Sameer M Shaikh of Pune fired a hole-in-one
each on the eighth hole.

Seven accused in Adarsh scam get bail

The seven accused in the Adarsh Housing Society scam, including its chief promoter and former Congress MLC Kanhaiyalal Gidwani, were granted bail by a special court in Mumbai on Tuesday.

The accused were directed to furnish surety of Rs five lakh each and asked to report to the CBI office in Mumbai on Tuesdays and Thursdays every week.

Of the nine accused, those who secured bail include IAS officer Pradeep Vyas, former deputy secretary in Urban Development Department P V Deshmukh, Brigadier (retd) M M Wanchoo, retired Defence Estates Officer R C Thakur, Major General (Retd) A R Kumar, Major Gen (Retd) T K Kaul and former MLC Kanhaiyyalal Gidwani.

All the accused have been charged with criminal conspiracy under IPC and various sections under the Prevention of Corruption Act and Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Act.

The accused pleaded for bail, saying they were entitled to be released as the CBI had not filed charge sheet within the stipulated 60 days.

Opposing the bail, CBI argued that they intended to add stringent sections of IPC such as section 409 (criminal breach of trust by public servant) and section 467 (forgery) which would attract life imprisonment for the accused. In such case the time limit for filing charge sheet would be 90 days.

Prosecutor Bharat Badami told the court that they had collected samples of signature of the accused and this had been sent for analysis.

CBI is collecting evidence to prove that the accused had committed offence under sections 409 and 467 IPC.

The scam pertains to alleged irregularities in construction and allotment of apartments in the 32-storeyed high rise, originally meant for families of Kargil war heroes, in the upmarket Colaba area in south Mumbai.

Granting bail to the accused, the judge observed "this Court is not dwelling on the question of the title of the land but is looking into the offence that involves conspiracy, abetment and misuse of official position".

"How an offence is committed under section 409 (criminal breach of trust by public servant) and 467 (forgery of valuable security and wills) is not submitted satisfactorily by the CBI," the judge observed while releasing the accused on bail.

On Monday, the CBI had told the court that it was likely to add these stringent sections of the IPC against the accused, who could get life imprisonment if convicted under it.

The Bombay High Court is monitoring the probe being conducted by CBI, Enforcement Directorate and Income Tax. The next date for hearing is 18^th June.

The CBI is likely to file charge sheet next month in this case as per the directive of the High Court.
