Good news for J&K migrants New Delhi : Cash compensation to the Jammu and Kashmir migrants in Delhi was increased on Monday by the Delhi gov- ernment. Evidently with an eye on the polls, the state cabinet took the decision, to ‘‘ensure welfare of the migrants.’’ The monthly cash relief for those staying in the camps, according to the new decision, has been increased from Rs 400 to Rs 600 per person. This means, the relief of Rs 1,600 for a family of four has been increased to Rs 2,400 for a month. Similarly for those not staying in camps, the monthly cash compensation has been increased from Rs 600 to Rs 800 per person. TNN Rainwater harvesting must: GDA
By Lalit Kumar TIMES NEWS NETWORK Ghaziabad : The Ghazi- abad Development Au- thority (GDA) has issued notices to all major builders and real estate developers to install wa- ter harvesting systems on premises bigger then 1,000 square metres where construction is on. The notice is meant for all builders and develop- ers whose plans were ap- proved in April 2001 or later. The system has to be in place by June 30, the notice says. Builders who are work- ing on colonies in plots above 20 acres have to construct water bodies, for recharging, on at least 5 per cent of the plot area by July 15, the notice fur- ther says. GDA Officer on Special Duty and water harvest- ing campaign chief, CS Verma, said ‘‘Those who do not comply by the giv- en dates will have their premises sealed. The idea is to get as much area cov- ered for water harvesting, as we can, by the time the monsoon sets in. The wa- ter table is falling as sharply as the water qual- ity is deteriorating.’’ Verma said the GDA has already set up a rain- water harvesting system on its main office premis- es to counter the trend. ‘‘As an exemplary move, water harvesting systems will be set up in many government offices by June 30,’’ Verma added.

Man burns wife, then immolates self in Faridabad By M L Kapur TIMES NEWS NETWORK Faridabad: Upset by persist- ent quarrels over his habit to waste money on lottery tick- ets, a man burnt his wife alive and then immolated himself. Police have sent the bodies of Mukesh and his wife Shob- ha for post mortem examina- tion at Badshah Khan Civil Hospital. The couple is sur- vived by their three-year-old daughter and a two-month-old son. According to relatives, Mukesh’s lottery habit was a source of friction between the two of them. Shobha left for her mother’s house on Satur- day after an argument with her husband. But her mother later persuaded her to go back to her husband’s place. Shobha was accompanied by her brother Vikas while re- joining her husband. However, in the middle of night, they again started quarrelling. Vikas woke up to see Mukesh beating Shobha. Vikas quietly went back home on seeing this, to inform the family members. But by the time they returned, Mukesh had set her ablaze af- ter dousing her with kerosene. When she cried for help, he got confused and immolated him- self. When the family members reached the spot, Shobha was already dead. Mukesh suc- cumbed to his burns in the hospital. Two women molested in SW Delhi
TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: Two women were molested in separate incidents in the southwest district. In the first incident, a labourer, Kishan, was arrested for mo- lesting the wife of a fellow labourer in Kapashera on Sun- day night. The police said: ‘‘The victim sought Kishan’s help in fetch- ing water. The accused, how- ever, molested her.’’ The vic- tim informed her husband who reported the matter to the police. A case has been regis- tered and investigation is on. In another incident, the po- lice arrested one Bhola for mo- lesting his 15-year-old neigh- bour in Naraina. According to the police, the victim was go- ing to relieve herself when the accused allegedly took her to his residence and molested her. The police said that a case has been registered. Stolen antiques recov- ered: The Rajasthan police on Monday claimed to have re- covered seven antique statues from the factory of a sculptor working for the alleged king- pin of an international smug- gling racket. The statues were found buried at the Delhi factory of the sculptor following revela- tions made by the alleged leader of the smuggling gang V N Ghiya during interroga- tion, the police said. Ghiya, a handicrafts dealer, was arrested early this week after recovery of 17 antique statues. PTI

Rock star Ozzy Osborne with Williams driver Jaun Pablo Montoya before the start of the Canadian GP on Sunday. Relationship costs coach her job
Wellington: A 21-year-old female coach has been sus- pended for a year by Swim- ming New Zealand for hav- ing a sexual relationship with a 13-year-old male swimmer. Stacey Friel es- caped prosecution because of a legal anomaly in New Zealand that prohibits sex between men and under- age girls but not between women and underage boys. Friel confessed to falling in love with the boy, who was not identified by the swimming association, during their six-month re- lationship and claimed to have double-checked the law to make sure it was le- gal to have sex with him. ‘‘This charge was brought as a result of a complaint made to Swimming New Zealand regarding an in- appropriate relationship by her with a 13-year-old member,’’ the swim associ- ation statement said. DJP Slowest ever marathon London: A British man weighed down by a rubber diving suit broke the world record for the slowest-ever marathon run, flopping across the finish line after six days. Lloyd Scott, who overcame leukemia and a bone marrow transplant in the late 1980s, ran the course to raise money for a charity that works with children suffering from the deadly illness. He finished his ordeal in six days, 4hr, 30min and 56 sec. He took as many days because he was suffering from food poisoning, forcing him to lumber to the bathroom more frequently. Agencies
