AFP He also asked the senior BJP leader to "furnish the address with the proof of ownership" of properties abroad and said he would "produce all the evidence" as how he was "trying to abuse his position" to target him The Congress’ deputy leader in the Lok Sabha who defeated Jaitley in the 2014 General Elections from Amritsar lashed out at him for allegedly behaving like the "spokesman of the Enforcement Directorate and the Income Tax department and not as their boss" "Time they say is a great healer but unfortunately nothing seems to work or heal for Jaitley" he said while reacting to Jaitley’s charges made during a speech in Bathinda on Monday "The way Jaitley spat venom at me has only vindicated and validated my stand that he is trying to avenge his humiliating defeat by unleashing these departments (the ED and IT) at me and my family"" Amarinder said Addressing a ‘Vikas Parv’ rally in Bathinda Jaitley Sunday said "I recall when there was Congress government in Punjab in 2002 led by Capt Amarinder Singh he used to cook up stories about the Badal family claiming that they have land in Australia petrol pump in America besides levelling other charges but he failed to prove the allegations We have found accounts of Capt Sahib’s family" The PCC president said it was good that the Finance Minister "betrayed" his intentions at Bathinda on Sunday as it will further strengthen his case and establish that the ED was "directly acting" under the minister’s instructions "Unfortunately Jaitley seems to have chosen and resolved not to let his wounds and the bruised ego to heal over his humiliating defeat in Amritsar even after the passage of two long years" the PCC president said adding "anyway if he has chosen to use his agencies to avenge that defeat I am ready for it and will fight it to the finish and expose his ulterior motives and intentions" Written by Yoginder K Alagh | Published: June 16 2016 12:17 am Crores of farmers have moved from villages to towns following the laws of the market because the demand for their products was rising in markets in small towns Top News Recognition of senior policymakers in the government that many so-called large villages are really urban areas but are not classified as towns on account of various reasons is a step in the right direction Demographers from the 1990s onwards have questioned the definition of rural and urban and underlined the fact that reclassification of large villages to towns leads to substantial advances in our understanding of the dynamics of movements in the Indian economy This phenomenon was not recognised as urbanisation until the 2011 Census In the 2006 SKDey Centenary Memorial lecture we established that there were “large villages” that met the census criteria of towns but were not classified as urban areas by the government and at that time even in the census (now called census towns) This led to a pessimistic perception of urbanisation I argued then that a part of this pessimistic perception arose from settlements which are “urban” by census definitions not being classified as “urban” While the absolute differences on this account could be small “small” absolute differences can affect the projections seriously For instance if a proper classification was made of the “villages” in Gujarat that were not rural according to the census definition but were not classified as towns the rate of change in urbanisation in the state would be twice that which is currently planned for This anomaly was recognised in the 2011 Census In Gujarat the 2006 projections have turned out to be accurate for 2011 The pattern is similar in agriculturally advanced states like Punjab in contrast to industrially advanced Gujarat and a relatively backward state like Bihar In all we are talking about a million or more farmers having moved to census towns Policymakers have been forced to recognise this phenomenon for 2011 but are still resisting its implications for future planning which is a terrible mistake The 2011 Census shows that this trend was prevalent in the whole country and the increase in the population of census towns was roughly equivalent to the increase in the rate of urbanisation of the country The census authority was saying that more than 4 crore Indians had moved from villages to urban areas which were not officially classified as municipalities notified towns or cantonments and were not counted as urban In the 11th plan (2007-2012) this problem was finally recognised The base numbers were changed but corrections were not factored in the projections of urban population This conundrum continues What it really means is crores of farmers have moved from villages to towns following the laws of the market because the demand for their products was rising in markets in small towns This was particularly true for milk and animal husbandry products like eggs poultry and so on and fruits and vegetables But these were not officially taken into account and therefore the provision to build infrastructure in market towns — markets storage facilities processing of agriculture commodities roads communication infrastructure — was not provided to the extent needed The next round of population projection is not yet ready The Technical Group on Population Projections is still working on it This time the pressure to provide backup to the Five Year Plan (FYP) is not there since there is no FYP The ministries may rely on earlier statistics and projections of rural and urban population Now that an important official of the NITI Ayog has recognised this problem the ministries hopefully will be pushed to factor in these changes in their workplan The Expert Group on Population Projection will hopefully submit its report soon and many infrastructure planning decisions which have to take into account population projections will get to work with the correct set of numbers on rural and urban

Beijing will fund the $14 billion Diamer-Bhasha dam in PoK and has agreed to include the project in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor "For this specific project and including the construction of dam you mentioned I am not aware of the details" Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told a media briefing in Beijing while responding to a question on reports from Pakistan that Beijing has agreed to include the project as part of the $50 billion CPEC For long Pakistan has been looking for $12 to 14 billion funding needed to build the Diamer-Bhasha dam located in Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) but failed to secure the money as it is proposed to be built in the disputed region Representational image Reuters While evading a response Geng however put up a strong defence of the CPEC playing down India’s concerns over violation of sovereignty "What I can say is that CPEC is a new cooperation framework for the two countries to achieve long term development This corridor will not only promote bilateral development of two countries but will also contribute to the development and prosperity in the region" he said "We know that there is some concern about the corridor but we keep stressing that this economic corridor is just an economic initiative for cooperation" Geng said "It targets no third country and is not connected to any sovereign dispute We hope that the dispute between India and Pakistan could be resolved by consultation and negotiation" he reiterated Geng skirted a direct response to the dam issue apparently to avoid a strong reaction from India which has already opposed the CPEC as it passes through PoK India’s objections to the project led New Delhi to skip China’s high profile Belt and Road Forum (BRF) held in Beijing last month to highlight the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) CPEC is part of the BRI But Pakistan officials were positive that Beijing has agreed to take it up under CPEC according to reports Pakistan’s Water and Power Development Authority (Wapda) chairman Muzammil Hussain was quoted by the Pakistani media as saying that "the project with 4500 MW installed capacity has been pending since long due to the fact that earlier in 2006 Asian Development Bank committed to fund the project however after 10 years it declined to fund the project saying it was located in disputed territory" However the project has been revived as China had offered Pakistan to bring it under (CPEC) Pakistan’s Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal who is also in-charged of the CPEC told the media few days ago that Pakistan expects China to fund the long-delayed project Iqbal was quoted as saying that a Chinese company along with a local partner would build the dam over a 10-year period Work should begin in the next financial year he said The project to be built on the river Indus was expected to generate 4500 megawatts (MW) of electricity and a vast nnew reservoir would regulate the flow of water to farmland Iqbal said the dam is critical to Pakistan’s food security The dam was reportedly part of an MOU between China and Pakistan which was signed last December to fund and develop Pakistan’s Indus Basin dams Pakistan estimates there is 40000 MW of hydro potential It was one of those days where control of the game swung from one side to the other — not at the frenetic speed of Pune or even Bangalore but at a much slower pace that made each swing of fortunes that much more surprising India looked in total control this morning with Murali Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara settling down using the first hour to get into the game then the second over to step up the pace of scoring just a tad without risk to stay on top of things Just when it looked like India had a stranglehold though Murali Vijay had a bit of a brain fade going down the track in the final over before lunch making a meal of the charge and getting stumped by a mile Cheteshwar Pujara slammed a century to guide India to 360/6 on Day 3 AFP The game was nice and evenly balanced at the start of the second session —and then Virat Kohli in his turn had a brain fade driving at Cummins wide of his body to a ball angling slightly in from a sixth stump line into just outside off — a mode of dismissal that seemed a bit of an aberration earlier in this series but is now assuming the air of a definite virus That wicket seemed to give Australia control; Rahane and Pujara promptly dispelled that notion the latter in particular shifting from a somnolent first gear to a fairly frenetic fifth gear with no warning taking just 59 balls for his first 50 post lunch where earlier he had taken over 120 balls for his first 40 Again India in control or so you thought — and Rahane threw it away playing a needless ramp at a short wide ball from Cummins — so wide in fact that it would have been called had the toe end of Rahane’s bat not tickled it through to Wade At that point India had given Australia three wickets in the day without the bowling doing anything to deserve it A solid 44-run partnership between Karun Nair and Pujara brought India back into the game and then one interesting over came out of nowhere Josh Hazelwood had looked underdone all afternoon just there or thereabouts at middling pace looking as though he was just going through the motions The 92nd over of the day Hazelwood ran in Nair bailed out at the last second apparently distracted by the white covers blowing off the advertising boards below the sight screen Hazelwood took umbrage coming down the track a bit to ask Nair if he really wanted him to go back to the top of the run and do a do-over; he then banged one in and hurried Nair on the evasion and out of nowhere produced a beauty at pace hitting the perfect back of good length and darting in off the seam to go right through the batsman’s defence to hit top of off — classic fast bowler’s dismissal coming out of nowhere Ashwin never looked in — par for this series really where with the bat he has looked a shadow of the well organised batsman he has earlier shown himself to be A good bouncer by Cummins and a good review by the Aussies for caught behind off the glove got rid of him — and then India took back a measure of control with an unbeaten 32-run partnership between Wriddhiman Saha and Pujara with neither batsman looking in any degree of discomfort against either pace or spin The narrative of the day had to be Cummins — returning to international cricket after a 64-Test break spanning five and a half years he finished the day with four wickets to go with the six-wicket haul he got when he last bowled at the top level Two of the wickets were pure gifts certainly but Cummins through the day was pacy very intelligent in the way he played around with lines and lengths and even speeds using the slow ball the slower bouncer the real quick yorker and every variation in between to ensure that no batsman ever felt really set against him in each of his spells And if Cummins was the fairytale Pujara was — what’s the word A throwback to an age where the grammar of Test cricket hadn’t been diluted by limited overs mindsets He has now played 328 deliveries across seven hours — and throughout his stay against pace against spin he played his own game Easily defensive to anything that was not certifiably loose quick as you like to spot any sort of error in line or length or even pace working the ball busily around the field for singles hitting emphatic strokes for each of his 17 boundaries whenever the bowler afforded him opportunities "Meditative" is a word that became quite overused in the commentary box as the innings extended and it exactly describes the zen-like way Pujara played on the day The third day was supposed to be determinative; instead it has left the game delicately balanced Australia are 91 ahead and into the Indian lower order; with rest overnight they can come back in the morning and try to smash out those four wickets quick — in which case with a lead of over 50 they could see themselves as in with a chance Against that if India bat on this way and time and deficit bleeds it shuts the door on Australia’s ability to put up a quick second innings score and take a shot at India And from that point India knows that the game is a draw at worst and if they can trigger an Australian collapse they can even pull off an unexpected win It is an intriguing balance and — okay here we go again with one of the perennial truisms of Test cricket — the first hour of the morning tomorrow will pretty much tell you which way this will go Even Roger Federer finds it all a little surprising After going 4 years without collecting a major championship now firmly in his mid-30s he heads into Monday’s start of the USOpen with a chance to win his third such trophy of 2017 "I mean I have a hard time thinking I could win three Slams in one year It just sounds totally surreal to me" Federer said in an interview with The Associated Press "But I’ll prepare myself the best way possible so that I will have the best chance to really excel there in New York" Roger Federer celebrates after defeating Robin Haase in Montreal AP Yes Federer is most certainly back All the way back He’s back in the field at Flushing Meadows after sitting out the hard-court tournament a year ago while taking off the last half of the season to let his surgically repaired left knee heal And he’s back in the role of Grand Slam title favorite after winning the past two majors he entered the Australian Open in January and Wimbledon in July Is he playing as well as — or perhaps better than — ever "I don’t know It’s hard to tell It doesn’t really matter to me I would hope that I’m a better player today just (by) virtue of time that’s gone by and I’ve had time to practice and train and all that stuff" he said with a sigh "But better In a way I would hope so" Federer turned 36 on 8 August making him older than all but two men to have ever won the most important tennis tournament held in the United States an event first held in 1881 He will be facing a depleted draw in New York as he seeks his first title there in

following Federer’s example Skipping the Rio de Janeiro Olympics the US Open and other tournaments allowed him to return to the ATP Tour refreshed and reinvigorated not to mention fully fit The payoff He is 35-3 with five titles this season "The long break last year really helped him He (went) a little bit away and looked at everything from the outside again It gives you a little bit of distance" said Severin Luthi one of Federer’s coaches "In general I know with him that if he takes a break and if he’s fresh happy to play motivated . that’s one of his biggest strengths" The day before beating Cilic in the final at the All England Club to claim his eighth Wimbledon championship and 19th at a major overall — both records for a man — Federer sat down with Luthi to discuss preparation for the US Open Yes time marches on even for Federer although it doesn’t really seem as if that’s the case at the moment "He’s been playing amazing tennis" said 20-year-old Alexander Zverev considered the sport’s "Next Big Thing" "He pretty much won every single big tournament he played this year" added Zverev who defeated Federer in the hard-court final at Montreal this month That was the last time Federer was in action; he tweaked his back and withdrew from a tuneup in Ohio the following week If his back is problematic at Flushing Meadows it could stand in Federer’s way Otherwise he could be the last man standing there for the first time since winning his last of five consecutive US Open titles in 2008 That would please Federer of course But what he really derives satisfaction from lately is his aggressive style on court "I like the way I’m playing I’m playing going forward I’m going for it I’m not holding back I’m playing the kind of tennis I like to play personally myself And I’m not like doing everything only for success I’m actually letting it fly off my racket And that makes me happy" he said "People who’ve been waiting for me to come back strong maybe one more time I’ve given them even more now by winning a couple of Slams this year So it’s extremely special times I’m aware of that I know it’s just only bonus whatever is about to come" Federer continued with a hint of a smile "So I hope I can keep this level up and then maybe good things can continue We’ll see" By: PTI | New York | Published: October 1 2015 9:47 am Actress Tamera Mowry-Housley has revealed that the
