Not the end for history-sheeter By Amarendra Bose TIMES NEWS NETWORK Baripada: Judging by the number of cases pending against Dara Singh in various courts in Orissa, he was not sit- ting idle after the Staines murder. Rabindra Pal Singh alias Dara Singh from Etawah in Uttar Pradesh has around three cases against him in vari- ous stages of hearing in the courts of sub-divisional judicial magistrate (SDJM), Karanjia and in the sessions court at Baripada. These crimes were allegedly commit- ted in the densely-forested area in the two tribal-dominated districts of Mayurbhanj and Keonjhar. An important case is one where he al- legedly murdered Muslim trader Sheikh Rahaman on August 26, 1999. Sheikh Ra- haman was killed when he was thrown into a fire caused by setting the shops at the Padiabeda weekly haat ablaze. In another case, a priest in the Jam- bani church under the Mahuldiha police station Father Arul Doss was shot dead with bow and arrows on September 2, 1999. A case against Dara Singh and his associates have been registered at the Mahuldiha police station in Mayurb- hanj district, police said. Dara Singh and his accomplices are charged with holding up a truck near Kendumundi on the Thakurmunda- Karanjia road on August 16, 1999 and set- ting it on fire. Before burning the truck, Dara allegedly released the cows that were being transported on it.

TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: Terrorist groups have stepped up attacks in Jammu and Kash- mir to boost its rank’s morale after it suf- fered a blow following the killing of Jaish- e-Mohammad’s top leader Gazi Baba, the Army said on Monday. ‘‘There is total turmoil and loss of con- fidence in terrorist ranks. This is making them come overground with fidayeen- style attacks. The Army is fully prepared to face this...Just since September 1, we have killed 60 militants,’’ said Major Gen- eral Deepak Summanwar, additional di- rector-general (perspective planning) at Army headquarters. Most of the militants killed have been Pakistani mercenaries, including Lashkar-e-Taiba commanders of Banihal, Pulwama and Poonch. Asked if Operation Sarp Vinash in the Hill Kaka area of Surankote was still go- ing on, Maj-Gen Summanwar said anti- terrorist operations were an ongoing fea- ture. The Army will not allow the Hill Kaka feature to be used by militants again as a hideout, he added. The senior officer described the killing of militant-turned-politician Kuka Par- ray on Saturday as a ‘‘loss’’ since he was ‘‘a great motivator’’ for terrorists to lay down their arms and also acted as ‘‘a very good source’’ for the Army. Maj-Gen Summanwar refused to accept that the recent Kathua incident, in which seven terrorists managed to escape after eluding the security dragnet, was a ‘‘fail- ure’’. He said the security forces had man- aged to prevent the militants from under- taking any task to unleash terror. Apart from combating terrorism, the Army is trying to provide ‘‘much-needed succour’’ to people in the state. In a novel pilot scheme, the Army has taken up the schooling of 101 militancy-affected chil- dren at the Army Public School in Beas, near Jalandhar. ‘‘This is part of our conflict-prevention measures to give the children scarred by militancy a chance to lead a normal life. Seventy-six of them are Muslims and be- long to families of low-income group. They will now have the benefit of being exposed to a public school English-medi- um education,’’ said Maj-Gen Summan- war. The Army will bear the entire cost — around Rs 1 lakh per child annually — of schooling, boarding and lodging. Of the 101 children, 55 are from the Valley, 35 from the Jammu region and 11 from Ladakh. More jobs, soft loans and skiing institute for J&K TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: Moving on the Prime Minister’s promise to create one lakh jobs in Kashmir, the tourism min- istry has come up with a revival package which it expects would cre- ate the momentum for up to 35,000 jobs. The package, which comes into ef- fect immediately, includes soft loans for registered hotels and guest hous- es, houseboat, shikara and pony own- ers as well as schemes to improve the surroundings of half a dozen shrines and complete the unfinished state project of a skiing institute in Gul- marg. Union tourism minister Jagmohan said on Monday that his ministry has also recommended air travel conces- sions, on the pattern of travel tax re- ductions specified for the Andamans. The ministry will also give Rs 7 crore for the integrated development of a tourist circuit which includes the Khir Bhawani shrine at Talumu- la Ganderbal, the Baba Rishi com- plex in Tangmarg, the Aishmuquam shrine, the shrine at Mattan, recon- struction of the damaged wall at Nishat Bagh, construction of shelter sheds for yatris on the Amarnath ya- tra route from Chandanwari to the holy cave and improvement of the drainage in Katra town. The entire money will be given as an advance to the state government. The project is to be completed in two years and the Centre will not pay for cost escalation fuelled by delays. As part of the soft loans package, which is to be advertised in the Val- ley,about 120 hotels and guest houses outside the five-star category will be eligible for interest subsidy on loans. Hotels may get soft loans of Rs 50,000 per room to refurbish half the rooms.

Misty Maid has it easy TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi:In the Delhi races, bookmakers have usually endured bad phases. Reason being, Delhi is the one centre where the maximum numbers of favourites justify top billing. Five out of six cards emerged victorious on Tues- day. Misty Maid, Mansha, Chamonix, Pride N Prejudice and Rivelino were the successful horses. In the upper division of the Kaadambni Plate, five-year- old mare Misty Maid paved the way for other eventual winners. She broke out from the gate quickly and never looked back enabling the jockey S Amjad Khan enjoy an armchair ride. The mare, was in the previous outing, scratched out from the race for injuring the then jockey Rajinder. She should now complete an encore over the similar trip or upto 1,100m. The run of Kenilworth and Fire Goblet, who finished second and third respectively, should be kept aside for now. In the Kaadambni Plate (div.II), Passionate Baby could have easily foiled Mansha’s start-to-finish bid, if the short distance had not come as a cropper.She is the one to be fol- lowed upto the mile. The run of Coronado, who finished a close third, should be ignored. The winner of the Hanging Out Plate earmarked for Class IV horses, Chamonix, proved to be the best horse of the day. The way she has been performing, the mare should reach top class. Bay mare Pam turned out to be old wine in a new bottle while upsetting Bongoni’s applecart. Interestingly, she had struggle throughout the last season. In her peak, she was a top class runner. The rejuvenated mare should con- tinue with her blazing form. Rivelino found his touch in the concluding event of the day winning on a tight leash. The full brother of the Western India-based Count Drac- ula should earn more laurels for his trainer and owners.
