TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: A man who al- legedly tried to rob a jeweller of Rs four lakh was arrested by the east Delhi police on Thursday. The accused, Sachin, worked as an assis- tant accountant with a firm which is dealing with vari- ous jewellers in the city. The accused reportedly called the Shakarpur area po- lice alleging that he had been robbed of Rs four lakh. ‘‘He said that three people in an autorickshaw injured him with a knife and robbed him of Rs four lakh which he was supposed to distribute among some traders in the city. We found that his story had many loose ends and thoroughly interrogated him,’’ said deputy commis- sioner of police (east) Nuzhat Hassan. On being questioned, the accused reportedly said that the money had been taken away from him by a man called Atul Sabbarwal. He re- portedly also provided his ad- dress. Sabbarwal, however, told the police that he knew nothing about the incident. On sustained interroga- tion, the accused reportedly broke down and revealed that he had hidden the money at his home in Geeta Colony.

Labour minister Sahib Singh said the last National Sample Survey put the number of unemployed, in 1999-2000, at 90 lakh. Conced- ing that the disinvestment process has cost jobs as well, Singh told the House that the or- ganised sector constitutes just about seven per cent of the total employment. So, loss of any jobs in public sector under- takings, disinvested PSUs and industrial units may not have any significant effect on total employment. In the past two years, lakhs of workers have been laid off due to closure of units, lockouts, layoffs, retrenchment — the major reasons, said Singh, being financial strin- gency,lack of demand, shortage of raw mate- rial and power and in the case of lockouts, indiscipline and violence, wages and personnel issues. But if Singh imagined this would be the end of it, he was mistaken. If one member ex- trapolated the two-year figure and reached a conclusion that more than one crore people had lost jobs in the past four years, others were ready to jump to their feet to question Singh’s claim on promoting alternative skill development. Four-fifths of the units which have closed are in the private sector, said one MP. Is the government giving its sanction for closure liberally? Why isn’t it preventing ‘‘wanton’’ lock-outs and closures? asked one MP. Sanction is given after due examination, re- torted Singh. What about workers who have not got their dues — in salary, bonus, provident fund con- tributions? The government is ensuring these are realised, said Singh. Therefore, about 600 units which owe more than Rs 10 lakh to employees have been asked to pay up by this weekend or face action, said Singh. This wasn’t the end of it. His claim that the number of jobs in the unorganised sector has increased was contested. What protection are you giving labour? asked MPs. Kalyan’s Liberhan hearing on Sept 2
TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: Former Uttar Pradesh chief min- ister Kalyan Singh did not ap- pear before the Liberhan Ayo- dhya Commission on Thurs- day but requested the panel through his counsel, B B Sax- ena, four weeks’ time to ex- amine the records of the com- mission and the government. Kalyan Singh The commission, however, granted him three weeks with the promise that he would appear on September 2 and 3. But sources say,pressure was put on Singh to postpone his appearance since Parliament is in session and his deposition could have embarrassed the top BJP leadership. There was a bit of confusion when the com- mission began its proceedings. While Saxena had already filed an application seeking more time, Ajay Agarwal, Singh’s counsel in the high court and the Supreme Court, filed an- other application raising certain points about the commission’s order of July 28, ask- ing Singh to appear on Thursday. This led Justice Liberhan to remark: ‘‘There are two counsel representing diago- nally opposite views. They are directed to file applications with Kalyan Singh’s signature next time.’’ The confusion later ended with Agarwal withdrawing his application.

TNN Robust growth but weak links, govt says of economy By Priya Ranjan Dash TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: The economic growth this year will be ‘‘significant’’, said the first ever quarterly statement on the economy and budget the gov- ernment presented to Parliament on Thursday. The statement conceded that there are some weak spots, with the government’s mounting subsidy bill causing the biggest worry. It, how- ever, claimed that the budget this year is on track and assured Parliament that ‘‘no slip- pages shall be permitted’’ in bringing about im- provements in tax administration. However, few people are buying the govern- ment’s claim of no fiscal slippages in an election year. In fact, but for the adjournment of the Lok Sabha, the government would have presented to the House an extra expenditure bill of over Rs 5,500 crore for 2003-04 on Thursday itself. The Centre’s total borrowings, because of the gap between its total expenditure and receipts, last year was 5.9 per cent of India’s GDP. The deficit is one of the highest in the world. Taken together with the states, the total government deficit was 11 per cent of the GDP. The Centre has budgeted borrowing this year amounting to 5.6 per cent of the GDP. International rating agency Standard and Poor’s said it did not expect the government to improve its fragile financial health until the general elections slated for next year were out of the way. Another ratings agency, Moody’s, said it had concerns about India’s weak fiscal situa- tion despite its upgrade of the country’s foreign currency debt ceiling in February. The World Bank made the same point in its first ever India Development Policy Review: ‘‘In- dia’s large fiscal imbalances pose a serious threat to sustained growth and development over the medium-term.’’ The World Bank also identified political risks which could threaten India’s development out- look. ‘‘An important risk is that the comprehen- sive reforms needed to accelerate development will be delayed due to the primacy of political concerns, such as general or state elections,’’ For Booking Details, contact: Ravi Popli at 9818115161 or Sarbani Aneja at 23302355 or Email at [email protected] it said.

AP Breakthrough in search for Ebola virus vaccine By Maxim Kniazkov Washington: The United States has developed an experimental vac- cine believed to be capable of pro- tecting primates from the Ebola virus in what is seen as a major breakthrough in fighting one of the deadliest diseases known to man, the government announced Wednesday. Ebola, which has already ravaged several African countries, normally kills 90 percent of its victims. “This research has enormous public health implications not only because it might be used to limit the spread of Ebola virus ... but also be- cause this vaccine strategy may be applied to other highly lethal virus- es, such as the Marburg and Lassa fever viruses and the SARS coron- avirus,” commented Anthony Fau- ci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. “After years of developing candi- date Ebola vaccines that protected rodents but failed in primates, it is gratifying to have a vaccine that holds great promise for protec- tion of humans,” said Peter Jahrling, a researcher at the US Army Medical Research Insti- tute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Maryland, a partner in the experiment.

Jeev was in superb form as he completed the first half of his journey at five-under par, and would have finished the day on top of the leaderboard had it not been for an un- fortunate bogey on his finishing hole.

Jeev started with a birdie on the par-5 10th hole and then saved strokes back-to- back on the 12th and 13th holes and then fol- lowed with birdies on the 17th and 18th. PTI
