TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: Four persons were arrested by the west dis- trict police for planning a bank robbery in Janakpuri on Tuesday. The police gathered infor- mation about the robbers and laid a trap in Janakpuri area. Four of them where where held while the fifth accom- plice managed to escape. The accused reportedly told the police that they were involved in robberies and snatching for the last two years in west, northwest, north districts as well as in Ahmedabad. Two of them would enter a bank and keep a watch on people withdraw- ing cash. They would then follow one of them and rob him in a relatively deserted area, the police said. Also, they would unlock dickeys of cars and scooters with a master key, the police said. The accused have al- legedly been involved in 12 cases. Whenever they felt they were under police sur- veillance, they move to Ahmedabad, the police said. Water Problem: Due to ma- jor repair work, water supply will be affected in Raja Gar- den, Rajouri Garden, Hari Nagar, Kirti Nagar, Pitampu- ra, Ashok Nagar, Kyala Booster pumping station area, Varun Niketan and Shakurpur.

And just like always, the question is not so much whether he can win another Masters, but whether anyone can stop him. ‘‘I guess I’m still the fa- vorite,’’ Woods said with a wide smile. The odds are even better, considering the circum- stances. Heavy rains have pounded

Augusta National since Sun- day,conditions similar to last year when Woods walked through muddy fairways and walked over his competition to win by three shots. Woods also is faced with the kind of challenge on which he thrives: making history. No one has ever won the Masters three years in a row, and only two other players - Jack Nicklaus (1965-66) and Nick Faldo (1989-90) - even had a chance. ‘‘I think it would be huge to win three Masters,’’ Woods said. It seems to happen to Woods quite often. The last time he was in this position was two years ago at the Masters, when Woods was trying to become the first player in history to hold the four professional majors at the same time. He turned back his top two ri- vals and won two. AP
