DJB to ration water for east Delhi TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: After south, now even east Delhi will get water supply just once a day from next week, says the Delhi Jal Board (DJB). Since the upper Ganga canal that brings water to the Bhagirathi plant was closed on Thursday, DJB chief P K Tripathi said the move would ensure ‘‘minimum water for everyone in south and east Delhi’’. The 100 million gallons a day (MGD) Bhagirathi plant supplies water to south and east Delhi and is one of the most crucial ones for Delhi. On Thursday, a drop of just five MGD due to power cuts further aggravated the crisis in these parts of the city. And now production from the plant is in doldrums as its feeder Ganga canal was closed in Uttaranchal till the end of this month to prepare for the ardh kumbh fair. Though Haryana has agreed to give some water, there will still be a substantial short- fall. Among the worst hit areas in south will be Chittaranjan Park, Kalkaji and Govind- puri. In the east, Shahdara and Mayur Vihar-III will suf- fer the most. ‘‘The water already re- leased in the canal will last for about six days, and the real crisis will begin from next week. The once-a-day supply will ensure that peo- ple at the fag end of the dis- tribution line also get some water,’’ said Tripathi.

8 Friday,April 18, 2003 INDIA The Times of India, New Delhi First pollster BAZAAR Eric da Costa passes away
TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: E P W da Costa, India’s first pollster, died in Bangalore on April 10. He was 93. Popularly known as Eric, he was the founder of the In- dian Institute of Public Opin- ion and pioneered election surveys, both pre-poll and post-poll, in the 1960s. He was the first to apply a statistical measure in the form of his ‘‘index of opposition unity’’ in assessing the country’s elections. His line of analysis was that without opposition unity, no single party could ever expect to get a majority of popular vote, but the Con- gress could yet dominate the electoral outcome in seats. This concept of Eric pre- saged the era of ‘‘coalition politics’’ that is now in vogue. As editor of Eastern Econ- omist, da Costa was also an advocate of free market econ- omy. Along with other Swatantra Party leaders of his time, he attacked govern- ment controls, terming the Congress government as ‘‘quota-permit-licence raj’’. No dress code for lawyers New Delhi: The Supreme Court has dismissed a peti- tion seeking a directive to ap- ply a uniform dress code for both senior advocates and other advocates. The Bench dismissed the appeal by Lawyers Reformist Forum saying the rule of Ad- vocates Act did not distin- guish between ‘‘seniors’’ and other advocates as far as dress was concerned. TNN Vohra to leave for Kashmir New Delhi: The Centre’s in- terlocutor on the Kashmir is- sue, N N Vohra, will reach Srinagar on April 21, two days after Prime Minister Va- jpayee visits the state to initi- ate the peace process and launch several development projects. Asked if he would also meet separatist groups like the Hurriyat Conference members or for that matter militant groups, an official SERVICES said: ‘‘Vohra’s door will be open for negotiations with any group or person willing to talk to him.’’ TNN Govindacharya attacks Govt Jabalpur: BJP ideologue K N Govindacharya on Thurs- day virtually severed his ties with the party after attacking the government on its han- dling of the Iraq issue and its economic reforms policies. “I will not join the BJP (re- new membership) because I have no personal ambition. I will not take primary mem- bership of the party,’’ said Govindacharya who took sabbatical from the BJP fol- lowing strain in his relation- ship with PM Vajpayee over four years ago. PTI Cheaper solar cells now Hyderabad: Researchers in the US and Germany have created a new type of ‘very thin’ solar cell that could pro- vide a cheaper alternative to existing solar cells. The advantage of the de- vice is that it can be made from smaller quantities of lower quality semiconductor material, according to the re- searchers. PTI LeT men held Mumbai: Two Lashker-e- Toiba (LeT) militants were nabbed in neighbouring Thane district and charged with waging a war against the country, police sources said on Thursday. ‘‘The LeT militants were entrusted with eliminating top political personalities in Mumbai,’’ Police Commis- sioner Shangari told a press conference.

ESCAP released on Thurs- day its 2003 Economic and So- cial Survey of Asia and the Pacific. The Survey,prepared in March, projects India’s GDP growth at six per cent for 2003. But in a separate presentation made along with the release of the sur- vey, ESCAP scaled down the growth projection to 5.1 per cent in the face of the Iraq war, SARS and depressed de- mand in the US, Japan and Europe. ‘‘ESCAP region performed well in 2002. Growth was based on stimulative fiscal and monetary policies and on strong intra-regional trade. However, prospects for 2003 are conditioned by war in Iraq and its aftermath, im- pact of SARS and growth in US, Japan and EU,’’ the re- port said. Research and Information System for Non-Aligned and other Developing Countries (RIS) director-general Nagesh Kumar, who released the survey here, however, said: ‘‘Since the Iraq war was short, my hunch is that In- dia’s GDP will grow in the re- gion of 5.5-5.6 per cent. If oil prices fall, we might end up with six per cent growth.’’ Even after the revision, In- dia continues to be one of the fastest growing nations after China, slated to grow by 7.5 per cent, Vietnam (seven per cent) and Fiji (5.2 per cent). While global growth rate has been revised to 2.3 per cent from the earlier stance of 2.8 per cent, the GDP growth for the developing na- tions of the Asia-Pacific re- gion was revised to five per cent from 5.4 per cent. Among India’s neigh- bours, Pakistan is slated to post an economic growth of 4.5 per cent while Sri Lanka is likely to grow by five per cent, Bangladesh by 4.9 per cent and Nepal by 2.5 per cent.

20 Friday,April 18, 2003 TIMES SPORT The Times of India, New Delhi A stirring draw leaves Premiership deadlocked AFP London: The English Pre- mier League title race is still wide open. Arsenal and Man- chester United failed to deliv- er decisive blows on Wednes- day in a 2-2 draw at Highbury, a match billed beforehand as the showdown of year in English soccer. A win for either team would have been a giant step toward the title. Instead, Man United lead Arsenal by three points, but the Gunners have a game in hand and a narrow one-goal lead in goal difference. Ryan Giggs’s second-half equaliser was the most cru- cial point of the contest. The Gunners Thierry Hen- ry scored two second-half goals - 51st and 62nd - to give Arsenal a 2-1 lead, overcom- ing Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s first-half strike. But Arsenal couldn’t hold on with Giggs scoring a minute later on a 63rd-minute header. Man United lead with 71 points and has four to play. Arsenal have 68 but have five matches remaining.
