To Jen, with love…

Jennifer Aniston's luck in love is about as bad as that of the character she played in "Friends", Rachel Green. Jennifer is now being offered help by celebrity matchmaker, Patti Stanger. Host of the reality show, “Millionaire Matchmaker”, Stanger had predicted her break-up with John Mayer, and now says that Aniston is not made for anyone in Hollywood, but is meant to be with a 50-year-old business tycoon! Well, after her streak of three straight disastrous relationships, Jen might as well pay heed to any and every advice about love!

‘Delhi media saw me as an OBC, not a minister’

Khao Aur Khilao budget by Arindam Chaudhuri
Shahrukh khan to Host IIPM 4Ps Annual Business and Marketing Quiz

As Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) has come out of UPA, Dr Anbumani Ramadoss, the former union health minister, is busy planning his party’s electoral strategy. He tells TSI’s N Asokan, that he remained truly a 'health conscious' minister.

In every parliamentary election, PMK has a new political ally. Why?

All political parties have to answer this. All parties have switched alliances. Why are you singling us out? For us situational demands prompt this move. And we have to follow our cadres’ feelings. DMK sent us out of the alliance last year. We had a severe war of words with them. We conducted a poll inside the party and decided to move towards AIADMK. You may accuse us of opportunism, I would say taking a decision on the basis of party cadres’ feelings is not opportunism.

On Sri Lanka, PMK leader and your father, Dr.Ramadoss, said that DMK should have come out of UPA to exert more pressure on government. Why did'nt you resign earlier?

We did whatever we could on the Lankan crisis from sinde the government. But if my resignation alone could have stopped the war in Lanka, I would have been the first person to quit. If the 40 MPs from Tamil Nadu had resigned, there is chance it would helped the cause of Tamils.

Post polls, would you support the Congress?

I will not say anything about this. It will be decided by our alliance partners.

You are not contesting Lok Sabha.

I have still one-and-a-half-years left in the Rajya Sabha. In this election, the DMK has planned to ensure that even if AIADMK wins, PMK should not. They are very angry. So I have to visit all constituencies to do more grass root level election work.

How do you rate actor Vijaykant? He is coming up very strongly. In the last assembly elections he won in a constituency considered PMK's fort and his party secured 8% votes in Tamil Nadu.

Unlike Chiranjeevi or others, Vijayakant does not have a vote bank of his own. He gets votes which are opposed to DMK and AIADMK. This time he will get half of the votes he polled last time.

In hindsight, could you have avoided the AIIMS controversy?

No. If I get a chance, I will do it again because I could not do it well. The AIIMS issue is not between me and Dr.Venugopal, as created by media. The real issue is social justice. The agitation by AIIMS students against reservation was given full media coverage for 18 days. Do you know how many agitationists there were? Just 15. But it was shown as if all of India was against reservations. Delhi media saw me as a OBC, not a minister. Venugopal is an anti-reservationist.. So he was made out to be a hero and I a villain.

Your stint as Health Minister?

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh himself said that what did not happen in the last 40 years has happened in the last four years. In particular, I can mention the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM). It got global recognition. Before NRHM, in Bihar, at a Primary Health Center, the monthly patient attendance was 40. But today it is 4000!

Future of Obamania, Obama tried his level best to push through his American rescue plans,

US President's tour to Europe signals policy shifts

Everywhere he went from London to Istanbul, Barack Obama was greeted by a reception befitting a rock star. The eight-day European tour of Barack Obama, his first major foreign visit after taking charge as US President, was a litmus test to prove his diplomatic abilities.

At the G-20 summit in London, Obama tried his level best to push through his American rescue plans, but faced stiff resistance from France and Germany. They were opposed to the idea that additional money pumped in the market alone will rejuvenate the global economy: for that to happen, stringent regulations and control over monetary institutions is required. And Obama showed flexibility in his discussions.

“America like every other nation has made mistakes and has its flaws,” Obama said in one of his speeches. He was just informing the world that America’s foreign policy is now different from the Bush era. This pragmatism is not without reason. At the 60th anniversary summit of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization), member countries remained unenthusiastic about Obama’s ‘AfPak’ strategy and his plan s to fill Afghanistan with more NATO soldiers. They offered only 5,000 extra troops. A change in the U.S. policy was also visible when Obama said that NATO would not expand up to the borders of Russia.

The much awaited visit of the new US President to Turkey was meant to generate a new feeling of closeness to Islamic nations and people. He strongly backed Turkey's attempt to get membership of the EU. When Obama declared that US is not and never will be at war with Islam, he signalled a shift from the Bush era of “crusades”. By offering to talk directly with Iran, Obama is trying to keep away from the ‘axis of evil’ theory. His call for co-operation and dialogue has invoked a friendly, but guarded response from Tehran.

Amr Hamzawy, Senior Associate, Middle East Centre at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace told TSI that, “Arabs were responding to tangible alteration, not to prose, and are expected to relapse to the old antagonism if not Obama’s words are backed by tangible action in the Middle East.” Rhetoric, apart, the historic challenge for Obama is to change the American image of Big Uncle Sam - difficult as that task might appear at the moment, Obama should be credited with atleast trying.

The Pursuit of Happiness

MOLDOVA

SILVER LINING HARD TO FIND, BUT THERE

Moldova is a physically beautiful country, with rolling hills and a lot of lush countryside. Even the capital, Chisinau, feels more like a big village than a major metropolis. It's a nice place to spend a few days before exploring the rest of the country. The first thing that strikes you about Moldova is how it has yet to shake its Soviet past. The buildings, the roads, and even the people, retain a Soviet sullenness. Moldovans, I think suffer from an identity crisis. They are neither Russian nor Romanian, but somewhere in between. Only now, in fact, 18 years after the break-up of the Soviet Union are Moldovans rediscovering their own culture. It's no coincidence that Moldova is, statistically, the least happy country in the world. Still, Moldovans are warm people, and welcoming to visitors. I had a hard time, in fact, convincing Moldovans that I was voluntarily visiting their nation. They get relatively few foreign visitors, and that is one of its appeals. It is in fact one of Moldova's charms that it is not a popular tourist destination. A traveller there is much more likely to have an "authentic" experience than the one who is, say, visiting the Taj Mahal. You won't be constantly bumping into other tourists.

And, then there is the wine. Moldovans are very proud of their wine. Many people there maintain a small vineyard in their own backyard so they have an endless supply of homemade wine! Opinions vary on how good Moldovan wine is compared to, say, French (or Indian!) wine. Try it for yourself!

Who’s that girl?

Katie Holmes stunned everybody at the premiere of “Valkyrie” in Japan when she came in sporting a gorgeous new look, where she had traded in her trademark bob cut for long locks, and looked pretty in a purple and red dress. Obviously, the locks were extensions, and this pretty woman spent around $43,000 on her makeover, extensions, spa treatments and dental veneers! We reckon recession hasn’t hit her side of the world!

Iran: Ahmadinejad vs the rest

Khao Aur Khilao budget by Arindam Chaudhuri
Shahrukh khan to Host IIPM 4Ps Annual Business and Marketing Quiz

The major challenge that the next president will have to face is the economy of the nation

Mehdi Khalaji

Visiting Fellow at Washington Institute for Near East Policy

The decision by former Iranian president Mohammad Khatami not to seek the presidency again has revealed how muddled Iranian presidential politics now is. In trying to sort out this mess, the most important thing to keep in mind is not so much who will be elected, but what that choice will reveal about the intentions of the country’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Unfortunately, the most likely outcome will be continuing transformation of the Islamic Republic from a civil government into a garrison state, in which the military plays a major role in determining political and economic matters.

Who will actually win the vote is unpredictable, but not because Iran is democratic. Ayatollah Khamenei, who is also the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, oversees the agencies that will run the election: the Guardian Council and the Ministry of Interior, which supervise the electoral process, and the Basij militia and Revolutionary Guard (IRGC), which unofficially controls the ballot boxes and the vote-counting process.

Recent surveys show that the increasing unpopularity of the current President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, stems primarily from his economic policies. Although oil prices reached an all-time high in 2008, unemployment and inflation (now 31 per cent) are out of control and the government is facing a $44 billion budget deficit. The public sector accounts for roughly 80 per cent of the economy, and relies mostly on now-plummeting oil revenue, while Iranian banks face a credit crisis, with Mahmoud Bahmani, the governor of the Iran Central Bank, estimating total delinquent payments to be $38 billion.

But Ahmadinejad’s unpopularity does not necessarily weaken his chances of being re-elected. A few months before the election, neither of the two main political forces, conservatives and reformists, has settled on its own candidate. Among the reformists now in the race, Mehdi Karrobi, the former speaker of the Majlis (Parliament) is a declared reformist candidate.

Mir Hossein Moussavi, a former prime minister, and Abdullah Nouri, a former interior minister, are also expected to enter the race.

"This is beginning of the Third Front"

Khao Aur Khilao budget by Arindam Chaudhuri
Shahrukh khan to Host IIPM 4Ps Annual Business and Marketing Quiz
2,300 IIPM students get jobs

Influential CPI(M) MP Nilotpal Basu predicts a Third Front government after the General Elections. In an interview with TSI’s Pramod Kumar, Basu says that traditional allies of the Congress and BJP are moving away from their formations.

The Left has supported the BJD in Orissa to save the Naveen Patnaik government. Is it a step towards formation of a Third Front?

In every election, some critical things happen. The support to BJD is of the same nature. One can say, it is the beginning of the Third Front, the only viable alternative to a non-Congress, non-BJP dispensation. Earlier when we gave a call for Third Front, people took us lightly. Now they know better. The reason is that the Left has always raised issues of the common people. Common people are now recognising the doctrine of Left. The Left was always confident of the Third Front and I am sure that looks like the next viable alternative, a non-Congress, non-BJP front in which the Left will have a very important role to play.

The allies of NDA and Congress are distancing themselves from their respective formatios. How do you view this phenomenon?

It is true that both the NDA and Congress have their traditional allies. But their allies have now realized ground realities. The economic policies of both the NDA and Congress are more or less responsible for the state of affairs. Both the NDA and Congress are following the decade-old global economic policies which are not working, so it is natural for allies to distance themselves from big parties like the Congress and BJP.

The case of BJD could be considered differently, perhaps?

BJD has its own policies and they have to face elections independently. The main cause for the breakup between the two allies, I think, is the Kandhmal incident when the BJP supported Hindu organisations which were targeting Christians. But the reality is different now. People are agitated against the economic policies which have created inequality and unemployment.

IPL : Indian Political Lobby, but hectic political lobbying has saved it, say Satish Chapparike and Sharad Gupta

After the terror attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team at Lahore, it had seemed that the most awaited cricket show would not happen, but hectic political lobbying has saved it, say Satish Chapparike and Sharad Gupta

That cricket lovers will not miss the second edition of Indian Premier League, the sexiest cricket tourney in the world, is a miracle of a multi-party democracy. Because despite the initial shock after the Lahore attack, and Indian Home Minister ruling out the simultaneous holding of the general elections and IPL, it seems back on track. And the real story is realpolitik, almost at a Chanakyan level!

When P Chidambaram first expressed his concern over security issues, cricket lovers across the world almost went into mourning. No doubt, the attack raised questions of the safety of international players in the subcontinent. In fact, Lahore cast its shadow on all major cricketing events in the subcontinent, including the 2011 world cup. In this scenario, general elections and IPL together looked like a deadly cocktail for Chidambaram and Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).

Talking to TSI, Congress MP and BCCI vice president Rajeev Shukla said: “The concern of the Home Minister was genuine. The motivation was not political; it was an honest security scare. Providing security for the elections and IPL at the same time is an impossible task.”

But the speed with which Chidambaram slipped away from his initial statement shows how it is politics that settled IPL issues. First, he said on the day of the attack, March 3, “It’s impossible to held both general election and IPL together. IPL has to be postponed.” By March 9, he was singing a different song: “Cricket in India is completely safe.” He suggested rescheduling as the solution.

And this is what happened within those seven days. Immediately after Chidambaram's first statement, the states under Congress rule, or under the rule of UPA allies, echoed: "it’s impossible to give security to IPL matches". Six out of the eight states with IPL fixtures said 'no' to IPL during the elections. Immediately, the states under Bharatiya Janata Party or NDA rule jumped in and said they would take over the burden. The saffron brigade’s master strategist and a brainy cricket administrator Arun Jaitley played his cards very well. So, the IPL split between two major political parties. For both the camps, it was a prestige issue.

Besides, after Congress and BJP, there is also an internal 'Third Front' in IPL: that of franchise owners, sponsors and official broadcasters. They too – all power brokers in their own rights – pitched in to safeguard their business interests.

IPL Chairman and Commissioner Lalit Modi and company caught hold of International Cricket Council’s next chief and Nationalist Congress Party leader Sharad Pawar. Modi is a Pawar confidant. He knows how to nurture stakes. At this moment, Pawar is eying two hot seats: ICC presidentship and the premiership of India… Pawar wants both at the same time. And at this juncture, dear reader, shift gear to pure politics!

Hi-tech boomerangs?

Khao Aur Khilao budget by Arindam Chaudhuri
Shahrukh khan to Host IIPM 4Ps Annual Business and Marketing Quiz
2,300 IIPM students get jobs

investigating agencies are increasingly facing flak for using hi-tech but unproven newfangled interrogation methods, say Shashi Sampalli, BS NarayanaSwamy and K Divyadarshini

forensic scientist, two criminal cases, one single method, but one result is acceptable and the other is not. Sounds like an irritating riddle, but that is the sad realpolitik hounding Dr Malini, the sacked scientist from Bangalore Forensic Laboratory (BFSL). Six years ago, she had used the narco-analysis method to pin down stamp-paper scam kingpin Abdul Karim Telgi, but the Central Bureau of Investigation pooh-poohed her findings. But last year, when she used the same method to implicate three house helps as murderers of 14-year-old Delhi girl Aarushi Talwar, CBI found it acceptable.

More intriguingly, when the CBI placed the argument that the house helps were indeed Aarushi’s murderers, the court said there was no substantial evidence. So then, what good are the newfangled investigation methods like narco-analysis, brain mapping and Brain Electrical Oscillation Signature (BEOS)?

Though Telgi was the first one in the country to undergo brain mapping, subsequently it has been used in many other cases of heinous crimes. In some of them, criminals have been busted, and often information obtained using such tests has led to planned crimes being foiled. And yet, questions are still being asked. Issues of human and Constitutional rights were raised when Telgi was subjected to brain mapping in 2003. Most recently, when the Pune sessions Judge pronounced Aditi Sharma, MBA student from J&K, guilty of murdering her fiancé in April 2007, on the basis of BEOS tests, there was again a major uproar. International journals like New Scientist commented on the use of methods that have not been scientifically authenticated.

Wait & watch, Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary lay in the second category but for the rest,

What do you say about a place that has been visited by several (at least in my vicinity) but no one has been able to give an account of in many words. Well, either they were awestruck and therefore speechless, or the experience wasn’t portentous enough to have been remembered for over a day; or the third possibility, they disliked it so much that they didn’t want to remember missing a day of their lives on such a destination!

For few of my acquaintances, Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary lay in the second category but for the rest, and for me, the experience and the scenery was definitely not one to be remembered just for a couple of days. It is an experience that will be etched in a pleasant corner of memory. And, why not? It was like reliving a typical day of summer vacations during school days. As soon as we entered the sanctuary, there was an option of hiring a rickshaw for the trip inside the wetland or riding a bicycle on the pakka lanes. We didn’t take a minute to decide and set off on our bikes. As we kept moving further inside the wetland, the cacophony of the bustling city outside the park dwindled, slowly replaced by that of birds flocking around trees and wading in the water. The rest was just the noise of silence which was much needed for the migratory birds from Siberia and Central Asia to spend their winters here in search of food and water. While earlier, the town used to be flooded during the monsoon which led to the making of the Ajan Dam; now, the same dam poses problems of scarcity of water in the sanctuary. Human population has multiplied and so has the requirement of water. Preferring human needs over the need to preserve the wetland has resulted in a decline in the number and variety of birds that migrate to Bharatpur. Though there weren’t any cranes this year too, the pelicans, geese, ducks, eagles, hawks, shanks, stints, wagtails, warblers, wheatears, flycatchers, buntings, larks and pipits kept the bird watchers delighted.

While there’s no end to sitting quietly and watching the birds at play through the binoculars or cycling around carelessly in the lanes alongside marshy waters inhabited with birds, there is more worth exploring in Bharatpur city. From the Bharatpur Government Museum, that gives a glimpse of the past royal splendour of the city, to the Bharatpur Palace that displays marvelous structural blend of Mughal and Rajput architecture... and the Lohagarh fort, there are tales aplenty that this ‘eastern gateway to Rajasthan’ narrates to its visitors…

Arindam Chaudhuri presents the Khao Aur Khilao Budget

Fundamental Lie & Truth

Rhetoric apart, what is the most fundamental lie that has been repeated more than a 100 times? It is the perception and propaganda that Indian governments and successive finance ministers have actually worked since 1947 to improve the lot of the poor. Inclusive growth is not a new age mantra that the Congress and UPA strategists have suddenly discovered; it has been repeated ad nauseum from pulpits and platforms for more than 60 years. The fact is: it is the most fundamental lie that has let government after government get away with empty slogans and zero performance. India had about 250 million people living in dire and desperate poverty in 1947; the number has gone up to more than 350 million after 60-plus years of emphasis on inclusive growth and redistributive justice for the aam aadmi.

And what is the most basic truth that has been repeated more than a 1000 times without the fundamental lie being exposed for what it is? It is the fact that virtually all the money and resources meant for the poor never reach the poor. Repeating facts might appear jaded to the cynic; but it still does not take away the chilling implications for India. Many years ago, the then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi lamented that barely 15 paisa out of every Rupee earmarked for anti-poverty and welfare schemes reaches the intended beneficiaries. India has made tremendous strides since then. That is why the son and the Prime Minister in waiting Rahul Gandhi now laments that barely five paisa out of every Rupee meant for the poor actually manages to reach them. When I read about the Maoist takeover of Lalgarh and the “Liberated Zones” that Naxalites have created in states like Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Bihar, West Bengal and Maharashtra, I sense the power of the most fundamental lie and the most basic truth.

It is the power behind this most fundamental lie and the most basic truth that had prompted me to proclaim Ban The Budget in 2008. And it is this, mixed with a sense of the unique ethos of India that prompts me to appeal to the ever pragmatic Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee to this year present a Khao Aur Khilao Budget. But let us demolish one more powerful, insidious and oft repeated myth about governance in India before I move on to the concrete suggestions, proposals and solutions that I have to offer.

Had police acted at that time there would have been no such people’s upsurge.

“It was a truly people’s upsurge”

Subhendu Adhikari, Trinamool Congress MP from Tamluk and son of Union minister of state for Rural Development Sisir Adhikari, talks to Chandrasekhar Bhattacharjee about the people’s revolt against the highhanded policies of the CPI (M). Subhendu defeated CPI (M) heavyweight Laxman Sett in the last Lok Sabha elections What were the challenges you faced in Khejuri?

The CPI (M) men heckled me every time I went there to campaign for my party. They even spat on me, manhandled me and tore my dress. Yet I never contemplated revenge. On the contrary, when the violence broke out our men helped the family members of CPI (M) leaers to reach safe places. We even gave protection to the family of the notorious CPI (M) leader Himangshu Das. Ask his wife and elder brother.

What was the provocation that made you block the entry of five CPI (M) ministers’ into Khejuri?

Allowing them in would have been taking a big risk. Over 12,000 people were out on the streets, recovering firearms and ammunition from CPI (M) party offices. We had earlier told police about the stockpiles, but they remained mute spectators. The recoveries had put the people on edge.

Do you think the people of Nandigram are happy with this development?

It’s not a matter of happiness, but of satisfaction. They are now sure they can sleep well in the days to come, which they have been unable to do since March 14, 2007. The first firearms recovery was made from the house of CPI (M) leader Subrata Kar’s house in Jahanabaad, Khejuri on April 29, 2007. This was a month-and-a-half after the Nandigram massacre. Had police acted at that time there would have been no such people’s upsurge. The police inaction was obviously due to CPI (M) pressure. This upsurge has removed that obstacle. Now even the police can hope to function without fear or favour.

The larger script of life

Ruchi Mukherjee, 31, Houston-based correspondent for TV Asia, who also heads her own online multimedia production company, Lights, Camera, Action, has terrible memories of school, marked by “verbal abuse, partiality and extreme lack of patience” on the part of teachers in the upmarket public school that she went to in Lucknow. This unhappy experience and a childhood plagued by sickness saw Mukherjee barely scrape through her Indian School Certificate Examinations with a second division, which represented a rather steep fall from the respectable 70 per cent that she had secured in class 10.

Yet, Mukherjee says that she never doubted her own capacity for success. “I was extremely confident”, she says, “I am glad education could not destroy that confidence despite my teachers making me feel unworthy. They could not look beyond marks and would give opportunities only to students who did well in exams.” Class 6 onwards, Mukherjee began documenting her bitter school experiences, a record that one day fell into her elder sister’s hand. She instantly recognised the writer in Ruchi and encouraged her to make the most of her talent. “My sister was my support system. She encouraged me to write and believe in myself,” says Mukherjee, who began her journalistic journey in Kolkata with a daily newspaper, after completing a course in media studies from the local university before moving to the United States eight years ago.

The journalist, a popular face in the Indo American community in Texas, one whose interests range from books to food and from philanthropy to gender, squeezes in volunteer work with women and child centric organisations, when not chatting up the likes of then UN Under-Secretary General Shashi Tharoor and former Rajya Sabha Speaker Najma Heptullah.

“I am glad my report card could never hamper my self-assurance”, says Mukherjee, whose other great love is travelling with her three-and-a half-year-old daughter. Recently back from a trip to Puerto Rico, she is now planning a holiday in Paris.

“Had I let my marks decide my life, I would have been sitting in a house, cooking, cleaning and being abused,” she laughs, likening the marks scored in an examination to unimportant footnotes that had no bearing on the larger script of her life.

The road ahead - Remove leftist cow webs

The UPA should address issues affecting poor, India Incorporated and defence services

N VITTAL

Former chief vigilance

commissioner

The UPA’s stunning success in the elections has many implications. There is a great sense of relief in India Inc. that the pace of liberal economic reforms started in 1991 and stalled till 2004, will pick up. What is likely to be the reality as far as economic reforms are concerned? What should be the agenda?

This second UPA government is different from the first where the instincts for liberalisation of the Congress were stymied by the Left. This UPA government has a free hand. First a reality check: The UPA came to power in 2004 chanting the mantra of the aam aadmi against the India Shining campaign of NDA. We can therefore expect a mixture of populist measures or pro-poor measures providing a counter point to every step towards economic liberalisation for the corporate sector.

This is the first government since 1960s to be voted back to power after a five-year term. It therefore, starts with a great sense of confidence and security of tenure. It is not likely to adopt any fast track 100-day agenda. At the same time, the government will have to pay the price of populist measures taken in the past. Given these imperatives the way ahead for the government would be to focus on three areas: issues affecting the poor, issues impacting India Incorporated and defence services.

The National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREG) was a historic measure taken by the first UPA government. This was also massively funded. There have been complaints about leakage of funds and ineffective implementation. Plugging the loopholes must be made top priority. The Right to Information Act (RTI) was another significant step taken by the first UPA government to make the administration accountable and improve governance. The bottlenecks in implementing the RTI Act must be removed.

The continuing spate of farmer suicides highlight the fact that Indian agriculture has become an uneconomic proposition. Only large scale farmers can afford modern agricultural practices. The huge gaps in the supply chain and storage between the farm and the market are other weak points in our agriculture, leading to a reduction in productivity.

The best solution is to encourage corporatisation of agriculture and promote linkages between public limited companies and farms.

Water scarcity in MP has reached alarming proportions

2,300 IIPM students get jobs

Killer water shortage

A tearful Priti, daughter of the deceased, told TSI: “The killers crushed my parents with their feet as they lay in the pool of blood.” Sunil, Sita’s brother too was seriously injured as he intervened. Three daughters and a son of the couple have been left orphans.

Given a rise in such incidents, additional director general of police, law and order, Surendra Singh, asked all SPs to tighten vigil in affected areas.

The water scarcity could lead to other problems not related to water. For instance, several pockets in Bhopal, Indore and Ujjain are communally sensitive and it is difficult to say when scuffles could turn into a full scale sectarian conflagration.

Madhya Pradesh’s urban development minister, Babulal Gaur, told TSI: “To stop such incidents, the government is coming up with a 100-day roadmap that will give priority to undisrupted water supply. We have also arranged for additional water tankers and have beefed up the security in the affected areas through the deployment of home-guard personnel.” Quite a lot to do for getting water.
