Meanwhile, MCD has intensified anti-larval spray operations at vulnerable points with the assistance of fire-tenders. The fire tenders worked at Sarai Kale Khan, Nariana Industrial area, Dera village, Nanak Pura, R K Puram, Mu- nirka village, Rajouri Garden, Tagore Garden and Ashok Nagar. Smaller areas were targeted through fogging ma- chines. These include Andrews Ganj, Shastri Nagar, east Moti Bagh, Sanjay Camp, Alipur village, Padam Nagar and Azadpur colony. Congress leader Ram Babu Sharma said 55,881 houses were checked for mosquito breeding. Legal notices were issued to 216 houses and the corporation has prosecuted 102 cases. Dengue row at AIIMS: The residents of AIIMS campus have demanded an inquiry. A doctor is among the residents who fell prey to the disease. The residents of AIIMS campus at Ansari nagar have alleged that the cleaning operations began late and the ‘‘insensitive and lackadaisical attitude’’ of the AIIMS administration is to blame. According to the residents, the director of AIIMS was informed on September 23, about cases of dengue in the campus. However, residents say that the cleaning operations started only on Octo- ber 6 after the condition of an AIIMS doctor deteriorated. The general body meeting on Friday held the deputy director administration responsible for the ‘‘sanitational catastrophe’’ that led to the dengue epidemic in AIIMS campus and the adjoining areas.

Dara appeals against verdict By Sandeep Mishra TIMES NEWS NETWORK Bhubaneswar: Death-row con- vict Dara Singh petitioned the Orissa high court on Friday challenging the verdict in the murder of Australian missionary Graham Staines and his two minor sons. Khurda district and sessions court judge M N Patnaik had, on September 22, awarded a death sentence to Dara and or- dered life imprisonment to 12 other convicts. The court had, however, acquitted Anirudha Dandapat. Rabindra Pal Singh, alias Dara, in his petition before the vacation judge, has challenged the trial court’s judgement on the plea that the prosecuting agency, CBI, had falsely impli- cated him, although his name did not figure in the original report filed by the local police the day after the murders of Janu- ary 23, 1999. Dara also cast aspersions on the credibility of the prosecution witnesses.

TNN stay: Karnataka HC TIMES NEWS NETWORK Bangalore: The high court on Friday confirmed a death sentence given after a dis- agreement on the sentence between two of its judges. The verdict was given against Saibanna of Gulbarga, who brutally murdered his wife and their 18-month-old daughter in 2000. Saibanna was already serving a sentence and was out on parole when he did it. He was convicted by a Gulbarga sessions judge, who sentenced him to death. The verdict then, as law prescribes, came for con- firmation before the HC. State prosecutor H S Chandramouli said the facts satisfied the ‘‘rarest of rare cases’’ criterion for a death sentence. The wife and child, he noted, had over 20 stab wounds, showing how brutal the act had been. Though the two judges on the Bench con- curred with the conviction, they differed on the death sentence. One of them felt it was justified; the other differed. As law pro- vides, the matter was referred to a third judge, B Padmaraj. On August 21, judge Pad- maraj said the case did come under the ‘‘rarest of rare’’ category and involved pre- planned murder, as argued by Chandra- mouli. And on Friday,a two-judge HC bench of AM Farooq and SR Bannurmath upheld the order and dismissed the appeal against the death sentence.

The panel is headed by former Uttar Pradesh director general of police Prakash Singh, a retired IPS officer who had also served as the director general of BSF. Singh met Naidu at his residence for 15 minutes. “As mandated, I will complete the task in two months. The chief minister has assured me of all the necessary infrastructure to conduct the probe,” Singh told reporters. The commission, constituted by the state government two days after the as- sassination bid on Naidu, will study the entire gamut of the security system, look into the lapses that led to landmine blasts targeting the CM’s convoy and fix responsibility on the officials responsible for lapses.

TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: The AICC’s fact- finding committee, which probed the party’s defeat in the Solapur Lok Sabha byelection, heard differing perceptions from chief minister Sushil Ku- mar Shinde and Maharashtra PCC president Ranjit Deshmukh on the cause of the defeat. On meeting 700 partymen, the team was confronted with 200 memoranda. The task was a complex one, but a report would be submitted this week itself, general secretary Motilal Vora, who conducted the inquiry along with senior leader Balram Jakhar, told reporters here. General secretary in charge of Maharashtra, Vayalar Ravi, said Deshmukh has asked for reports from all those ministers and party office-bearers entrusted with campaigning during the byelection.

Eunuchs pit a candidate against Diggy Raja By Suchandana Gupta TIMES NEWS NETWORK Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh chief minister Digvijay Singh will face an unusual opposition at his Raghogar constituency in the Guna district in the assembly elections. One of the candidates contesting for the coveted chief minister’s seat is 25-year-old Madhuri, the most popular eunuch of the Chandni Rai Hijra group that holds in its sway in the Chief Minister’s home district Guna. According to the other eunuchs, Madhuri is haseen and the most-celebrated eunuch of the group. The community claims that every second home in the Raghogar constituency knows Mad- huri. Her popularity among the residents of Raghopur makes her an apt candidate for the post, they feel. The success of Shabnam Mausi in the assembly and four sitting corporators in different municipalities has given eunuchs in Madhya Pradesh the confidence to field candidates from their community in the coming polls. They are also planning to field candidates against other prominent and powerful ministers in the Digvijay Singh government. Madhuri and other asi- parants from the eunuch community have floated a party of their own called the Jeeti Jeetayi Politics (JJP) and an application for registration has been filed with the Election Commission. Their preferred symbol: the tarazu ot the weighing scale. Others also in trouble: Namdeo Mumbai: Dismissed CISF constable Ram- narayan Namdeo, who was released on bail on Wednesday, says other CISF constables are also being harassed by their superiors but nobody wants to speak out. Namdeo is accused of killing his deputy com- mandant, A R Karan- jkar, and of holding six of his colleagues hosta- ge at the Sahar international airport on May 24. Namdeo said superiors abused and harassed him. TNN
