Nitin Gadkari to inaugurate bridge over Ravi on January 22
Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari will on Tuesday inaugurate a 1,210-meter span-bridge over the Ravi river in Jammu and Kashmir which would reduce the distance between Kathua in Jammu and Patankot in Punjab by around 36 km.
Constructed at a cost of Rs 158.84 crore, the bridge would improve inter-state connectivity and benefit over 2,20,000 people living on the two sides -- Kathua in Jammu and Pathankot in Punjab, a Ministry statement said.
"This will reduce the distance between the two cities from 45 kms to 8.6 kms, which will save on both time and fuel cost," it said

Man mauled to death by lions at zoo near Chandigarh
Chandigarh: A man was mauled to death by lions on Sunday at Chhatbir Zoo in Zirakpur, around 20 km from Chandigarh. According to zoo officials, the man entered the enclosure by scaling an over-25-feet wall and as soon as he crossed over, he was attacked by two lions. Officials said the incident happened at 2.20 pm and the man, who is in his early 30s, was yet to be identified.
"The injury on his neck was deep. He was taken to civil hospital in a critical condition where he died," said the zoo's field director M Sudhagarb. A lion and a lioness were in the enclosure, he said, adding the female lion attacked the man first. The official said the man might have entered the zoo through the Ghaggar bandh area, which was also known as the jungle area.
"He then scaled the wall and must have fallen inside the enclosure," Sudhgarb said. He claimed that the man was not a visitor."We suspect that he was drunk as it is impossible for a normal person to scale the boundary wall, ..

Rahul Gandhi: Cries of help are of those seeking freedom from tyranny
New Delhi: Congress president Rahul Gandhi hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday over his "bachao, bachao" swipe at the Opposition, saying the cries of help were of people "begging" to be freed from "your tyranny and incompetence". Gandhi's attack came a day after Modi, taking a dig at the Opposition rally organised by Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee in Kolkata, said the BJP had only one MLA in West Bengal, "but still they are so afraid of us, because we follow the path of truth, that they have gathered parties from across the country and are crying 'bachao, bachao, bachao' (save us)".
"Your Highness, The cries for help are the cries of millions of unemployed youth; of farmers in distress; of oppressed Dalits & Adivasis; of persecuted minorities; of small businessmen in ruin; begging to be freed from your tyranny & incompetence. In 100 days they will be free," Gandhi said in a tweet. Unfazed by the Opposition's show of unity in Kolkata on Saturday, Modi d..
Mumbai Food: Chembur restaurant brings in the flavours of Sindh
Three months into the city, and we are still on a quest to find an eatery that serves authentic Mughlai food to satiate our biryani craving. And as we waited, we heard about a Sindhi restaurant that had opened shop in Chembur. No stranger to the cuisine, we asked our friend from the community, whose grandmother’s cooking we have fond memories of, to tag along one Friday evening.
Bheja Fry
It’s easy enough to locate Duma Dum Mast Kalandar, thanks to its brightly lit signage bang on the main road. Our apprehensions start building up as we walk in and find the place empty. On being offered to be seated at their bar on the first floor, we head up, and then retreat, craving the cosy, warm lighting in the restaurant as opposed to the dimly-lit bar, again, empty.

Three men including dancer and student arrested for stealing bikes
New Delhi: Three men, including a dancer and his student, were arrested for allegedly stealing motorcycles from Southeast and South Delhi areas, police said Sunday. The accused were identified as Shubham (22), a resident of Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh, Suraj alias Yuvi (20), a resident of Kannauj in UP, and Deepak Kashyap alias Bunty (26), a resident of Meerut, they added.
Acting on a tip-off, police laid a trap on Tuesday on MB Road, Pul Prahladpur. At around 5.15 pm, two persons were apprehended when they were coming on a motorcycle, Chinmoy Biswal, Deputy Commissioner of Police (southeast), said.
During interrogation, the accused disclosed that they, along with their associate Kashyap, used to steal motorcycles from the area of Southeast and South Delhi. On their instance, Kashyap was arrested from Ghaziabad, Biswal said.

Hirave hits 'home' run with marathon distance-running prize money
Mumbai half marathon third-place India men's winner, Kalidas Hirave initially seemed a little disappointed with his finish, but he took it in his formidable stride. When you clock 1:06:38 over the 21-km, your stride had better be formidable!
Hirave said that the last time he competed in the Mumbai full marathon he had dropped out at the 25km mark because of cramps. This time too he got cramps but the LIC runner still managed a third place. The cramps notwithstanding, the runner had a lot to smile about. In October last year, the long-distance champ, who works in Pune, pumped in R20 lakh from his prize money in running events over the years, (he has been running for seven years) and has taken a loan too, to buy a home in Wai, which is on the way to Mahableshwar-Panchgani.
"I used to live in a room in Mandhardevi. Today, I am the owner of a 1,000-sq feet house," said Hirave with a smile. What can we say except, Wai-se choice of sport, Mr Hirave!

Help me travel for London Marathon: Nitendra Singh Rawat
In a sport where most Indian long distance runners are still a little unsure when facing the press, Nitendra Singh Rawat, the Indian men's Mumbai Marathon winner, is a dude with a cool attitude. The army runner used the visible Mumbai platform to launch an appeal for support.
Rawat said in the press interaction post his breathtaking 2:15:52 run that, "my next challenge is the London Marathon on April 28. I hope the Mumbai Marathon organisers Procam can help me. I need help for tickets and visa for London."
Procam's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Dilip Jayaram laughed when told that Rawat used Sunday's media platform for his appeal. Jayaram said, "We will consider it, but before saying this at the post-race conference, he needs to talk to us [Procam]. He has to chart out his course in the next two months, about how he will approach the race, the kitting he needs etc. There are many details. We may think about supporting him but he has to sit down and talk to us."
Meanwhile, Rawat adde..
Mumbai Marathon: Cricket trainer Kanchgar not happy with Sunday spell

The professional trainer spoke on the benefits of running a marathon: "By running a marathon you are doing your cardiovascular training through which you train your heart. When I run, I get time for myself where I think and plan my growth."

Mumbai Marathon: It's a Dream Run come true for 15 Gujarat tribal women
Had it not been for Shrimad Rajachandra Love and Care (SRLC), an NGO in Dharampur (Gujarat), 15 tribal women would have been spending their Sunday rolling khakharas, making agarbattis or preparing soap at Dharampur.
Instead, they were in Mumbai for the first time to participate in the Dream Run (6km stretch from CST to Metro Cinema) to promote women empowerment and skill development.
"Coming to Mumbai and running here for a cause was a different experience for all of us. On Saturday, we visited Mahalaxmi temple, Swaminarayan mandir (Dadar) and did some shopping too. If we get a chance, we will run here next year too," said Ambeshwari Raut, who works in SRLC's stitching section.
"We walk more than five kilometres daily, so we are habituated to tackling distances or facing difficulties. We have come here with the intention of spreading the message that women can overcome any situation," Raut, 35, added.

ASER shows but real task is to keep it up
When his government is at the receiving end ahead of general elections, state education minister Vinod Tawde should find great satisfaction in the Annual Status of Education Report (ASER 2018), which shows that Maharashtra has registered a performance above the national average on a majority of the parameters in primary education in rural areas.
Compliments to the minister, his department, teachers and students, who we wish, are not complacent in the next academic session, half of which will overlap with election activities. ASER's mixed findings are elating as well as upsetting. As against the national average for children - who can read the alphabet and more — which is 46.8 per cent, the state increased its rate to 66.2 per cent. Great achievement for the state government is that 34,000 students of private schools have shifted to government schools last year.
This shows that a sincere, consistent, and quality effort could get government schools their lost glory back, and also..
We've had our fill of empty promises
The 'United India' rally in Kolkata on Saturday was the first step to dislodging Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He, of course, never stopped being in election mode. But the battle bugle has sounded for the next parliamentary election, the schedule for which the Election Commission may announce in early March. Modi has initiated counter-measures: the first was the 10 per cent reservations in jobs and higher education for economically weaker sections of the general category, code for the forward castes.
The DMK, which participated in the 'United India' rally, has gone to court against this, saying that reservations were mandated by the Constitution as a measure of social justice, not to remedy economic inequality. Modi is expected to announce measures for farmers, who snatched from his party's hands three states in December. This may include income-supplementing programmes of the kind that exist in Telangana, Odisha and Jharkhand.
It may be too little, too late; you can see the panic on..

Soha Ali Khan: Don't force your child to have anything
Actress Soha Ali Khan, also a mother, says people should not force their children to have anything. "I would say don't force your child to have anything. Be persuasive and charming, but don't force them and respect their decisions. Try again another time if they refuse," Soha, who launched premium milk Pride of Cows here earlier this week, told IANS.
"Inaaya (her daughter) likes her milk fortunately for now, but we all know how tempestuous toddlers can be. Be creative with the milk also - use fun containers, straws, make milkshakes and mix it in a healthy mix," she added.
Soha, on the other hand, didn't like to drink milk. "But my mother would insist I drink it and I would come up with creative ways of disposing of it in the flower pots, off the balcony, until they caught on and made me drink it in front of them. And now I really love milk," said the daughter of veteran actress Sharmila Tagore.
On the milk brand, she said: "I have been consuming Pride of Cows for some time now, I en..

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday hit out at opposition parties, terming the 'mahagatbandhan' a grouping of corrupt, negativity and instability and accusing them of misleading the people.

Australian Open: I have massive regrets, says Roger Federer after loss
Swiss great Roger Federer denied yesterday that his defeat to Greek young gun Stefanos Tsitsipas signalled a changing of the guard as he announced he will play the French Open this year for the first time since 2015.
The 20-time Grand Slam champion was shocked by a man 17 years his junior in the Last 16 of the Australian Open 6-7 (11-13), 7-6 (7/3), 7-5, 7-6 (7/5) on Rod Laver Arena.
But Federer, the defending champion, played down suggestions it was the beginning of the end for a man who has dominated the sport for so long. "I've heard that story [for] the last 10 years. From that standpoint, nothing new there," he said. And in a signal that he is hungry for more, Federer, 37, said he planned to play on clay again this year for the first time since 2015. "It's a bit of a desire. I'm in a phase where I want to have fun and I've missed not doing it," he told reporters of the French Open.
He missed Roland Garros in 2016 with an injury and skipped the clay season the last two years. "I..

Mumbai: Byculla zoo wants a lion but has no giraffe to give in return
Want to see lions in the Byculla zoo again? You can't as they don't have giraffes. Confused? Well, that's what the Junagarh zoo authorities have asked Byculla zoo officials for in exchange for a pair of lions. Zoos across the country follow the barter system where they offer animals they have in surplus, in exchange for animals they want. Byculla zoo has very few animals and birds in surplus, but these no other zoo wants.
The Veermata Jijabai Udyan, or Byculla zoo's attempt to procure lions rests on its ability to exchange surplus animals for them. As part of the Byculla zoo's expansion plan, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has been in talks with various zoos to transfer animals like jackals, civet cats, otters, hyenas, sloths and leopards. It has approached zoos in Ahmedabad, Kanpur and even the Sanjay Gandhi National Park.
Want lions? Give giraffesWhile attempting to bring lions to the Byculla zoo, senior civic officials said that officials of the Sakkarbaug Zoological..

AAP not to contest Lok Sabha polls in Maharashtra
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday said "as of now" it has decided not to contest the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections in Maharashtra. The party will fight Lok Sabha polls in four states - Delhi, Punjab, Haryana and Goa. But, it has decided not to contest in Maharashtra, AAP's national spokesperson Preeti Sharma Menon told PTI on Monday. "As of now, we are not contesting any seat in Maharashtra, but the party may take a view on a few seats if we feel it will help defeat the BJP," she said.
The party wants to save democracy from the "clutches" of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah, so "we will devote all our strength on the seats where we are certain we can defeat them," Menon said. However, former AAP leader Mayank Gandhi said the decision shows the party is "dead" in Maharashtra, which has 48 Lok Sabha seats - the second highest number after Uttar Pradesh which has 80 parliamentary constituencies.
"Encouraging the worst kind of leadership at the behest of volun..

Munisha Khatwani makes a comeback on TV after 10 years
Munisha Khatwani makes a comeback on TV after a decade. She features in the Manish Goyal and Juhi Parmar-starrer Tantra. The makers have named her socialite character Munisha as well.
The actor, who is also a tarot card reader, is enjoying her new stint. It is a character role "but on the small screen even younger actors are playing roles of mothers," she says. Munisha took up the offer as she wanted to remind people that once an actor, always an actor.
Recently, Munisha predicted about Salman Khan's marriage and said that the actor might not get hitched this year. "It's difficult to know whether Salman Khan will get married or not, it's a little dicey. His mangal is very strong this year so there is a chance. But the way his cards are supporting, I don't think so he will get married. I think he likes his life without marriage, so according to that the decision of getting married is difficult," she says.
Shah Rukh Khan will also have a good year, says Munisha. "This year will be bet..

Rajan Batra of The Yellow Diary: We always had faith in our music
Given the adulation they have received, The Yellow Diary may appear to be that blessed independent band which found its popularity among mainstream musicians. However, the journey to success, they reveal, was far from seamless. "There were times when we did not have a show for two months. Now, we've had two shows in one day," says Sahil Shah of the band that has live gigs at Symbiosis and IIT Bhubaneswar scheduled in the upcoming weeks.
Confessing that their live gigs started with them "jumping around and not knowing how to play the sounds" the band reveals it has come a long way. "We now have people singing our songs back to us. That's a great validation," says Stuart Da Costa, as Himonshu Parikh adds, "As a band, we have more love for the music we make today. Our [recently released] second EP, Izafa, has a blend of different genres and sound. Some have a lazy and laid-back vibe, others have a rockish feel. This is unlike the hard-hitting first EP we created."
