Trade fair ends on a busy note TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: All is well that ends well. The same could be said for this year’s India Inter- national Trade Fair. Even though over 25 lakh visitors thronged Pragati Maidan over the last two weeks, neither was the traffic thrown out of gear, nor was there a security breach. In fact, this time, the number of traffic po- licemen deployed were about a 100 less than last year. The number of traf- DILLI KA fic policemen, includ- ing officers, was 339 MELA this year while last year, it stood at 438. The number of traffic wardens and mar- shals was the same as last year. Police pres- ence, both inside and outside the venue was augmented. There were 650 policemen deployed inside and around the venue in three shifts. Traffic policemen, too, worked in two shifts. Take a look at the new things tried out at the venue: • Separate wireless network cover for the fair. • Zero tolerance for obstructive parking. Over 164 vehicles towed away and over 184 prose- cuted on the spot. • Pedestrian control strictly implemented. Specially effective due to the foot overbridge at gate number two. • No entry to the fair after 6:30 pm on week- ends and holidays. • Plainclothes patrol teams inside the venue. Plainclothes policemen at PCOs to prevent hoax calls. • Park and ride facility from locations some distance away from the venue, like Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. ‘‘Creating parking lots a little further re- duces the number of vehicles in circulation around the venue, decreasing the pressure on the roads,’’ said JCP (traffic) Qamar Ahmed.

Anyone’s bet By Prakash Bhandari TIMES NEWS NETWORK Jaipur: If it’s election time, money must be flowing bigtime. And you can bet on it. For now, fortunes seem to be fluctuating much in the same way as they do during an India-Pakistan match. Bookies, who were favouring the Congress only till two days back, now say odds are firmly stacked in the BJP’s favour in the upcoming Rajasthan elec- tions. In the Jaipur satta market, the odds are 75 paise for a rupee in favour of the Congress, and 68 paise for the BJP. Lower the odds, the lesser is the risk of your losing. Two days back, the odds were 60 paise for a rupee for the Congress and 80 paise for the BJP. A bookie told TNN the Judeo scandal seemed to have dealt a severe blow to the BJP’s prospects, but the party has recovered well. He at- tributes this to the aggressive campaigning. Due to the unpredictable nature of state politics, more and more punters are betting their money on which party will form the government rather than on the margin of the victory. In the Bikaner satta market, the odds for the Congress winning 100 seats are Rs 2.50 for a rupee. However,it doesn’t bring good news for the BJP as well. The party is expected to win around 75 seats.

But they seem willing to wait a couple of years for results to show. As Uttaranchal’s administration loud- ly proclaims its opposition to genetical- ly-modified technology and moves away even from chemical fertilisers, Dhanpao is cited as one of the promising villages which have taken to different compost technologies. Within six months, the ad- ministration hopes to attract groups of foreigners — and Indians — to sample the organic way of life in such villages. The rationale for the Organic Ut- taranchal brand is spelt out by state chief secretary R S Tolia, whose state has just hosted an international meet on this. Mountain agriculture, bypassed by the green revolution and its now obvi- ous ill-effects, does not have assured ir- rigation and credit facilities. Farmer margins are narrowing. They are able to produce only upto six months of food- grain, a factor pushing migration. Since industries can’t be a replace- ment in this region, agriculture has to be made remunerative. ‘‘We have to cut costs and find markets which give high- er value,’’ says Tolia.
