COAST GUARD INTERCEPTS SUSPECT BOAT CARRYING EXPLOSIVES
2 01 2015
An intelligence based midnight operation was conducted by Coast
Guard ships and aircraft to intercept a suspect fishing boat in Arabian
Sea near Indo-Pak maritime boundary, approximately 365 km from
Porbander.
As per the intelligence inputs received on 31st December, a Pakistani fishing boat from Keti Bunder near Karachi was planning some illicit transaction in Arabian Sea. Based on the input, Coast Guard aircraft undertook sea air coordinated search and located the suspect fishing boat. Thereafter, Coast Guard ship on patrol in area was diverted and intercepted the unlit boat at about midnight of 31st December in position 365 km West-South West of Porbandar.
Coast Guard ship warned the fishing boat to stop for further investigation of the crew and cargo; however, the boat increased speed and tried to escape towards Pakistani side of maritime boundary. The hot pursuit continued for approx one hour and Coast Guard ship managed to stop the fishing boat after firing warning shots. Four persons were seen on the boat who disregarded all warnings by the Coast Guard ship to stop and cooperate with investigation. Soon thereafter, the crew hid themselves in below deck compartment and set the boat on fire, which resulted in explosion and major fire on the boat.
Due to darkness, bad weather and strong winds, the boat and persons on board could not be saved or recovered. The boat burnt and sank in the same position, in early hours of 1st January. Coast Guard ships and aircraft are continuing operations in area to search for any possible survivor. Coast Guard and other security agencies are maintaining high vigil in maritime and coastal areas since last couple of months due several inputs on seaward threat.

AAP launches #Fund,Fund the only Funda
2 01 2015
AAP has its sole object to gather money at any cost and
to deliver the common is far from their agenda.AAP chief Arvind is
gathering money in name of Tea,dinner and is charging huge sum from
common man for his audience.Chief which charges for the common man meet
one can imagine his intend,further his this poster boy of AAP has broken
all record by putting solo poster in Delhi for ensuing assembly
elections as if though there is no other leader in AAP.Arvind taxman
converted to an activist is now recognized politician whose main aim is
to make money by giving honey wrapped eloquence .Thus an official
release is here from AAP party.
Aam Aadmi Party’s transparent fund-raising initiatives have brought a new dimension to political funding. AAP is the only political party in the country whose entire funds are in public domain and all donation details are published on the party website.
The AAP has always innovated on fund-raising and introduced new concepts in India, ranging from diverse and completely transparent fund-raising events to online donations and now Aap-Ka-Daan, a mobile app for collecting small cash from our donors.
In continuation of its fund-raising initiatives to mobilise resources for the upcoming Delhi assembly elections, the AAP is pleased to announce its new campaign, the #IFundHonestParty Challenge.
This is a donor-get-donor programme appealing to donors to take the challenge, make a donation and send an appeal to 10 of their friends and family members to also donate and participate in the challenge. As more people join the challenge, a network of donors, referrals and participants will be built and the message of #IFundHonestParty shall spread to a wide number of people.
The #IFundHonestParty campaign will also figure prominently in the AAP’s ongoing political campaign. The party will highlight the unique differentiation of AAP from other parties which do not declare approximately 80% of their donations from regulators. Mobile app, Aap-Ka-Daan is being used quite successfully by volunteers to collect cash donations at sabhas, yatras and other political events.
The #IFundHonestParty campaign was flagged off by AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal, who was the first to take the challenge himself. Kejriwal will invite 10+ people from different aspects of his personal, professional and political life to join-in the challenge.
The AAP’s IT team has developed web and mobile based referral tool to help donors make referrals. Participants can invite their friends and family via email and/or using the Facebook social networks. Donors can also easily share their own donation proofs (certificate) on their Facebook pages and also via Twitter. The software will track all donations, referrals and acceptance of challenge.
AAP is looking to increase its overall donation reach with this campaign. In the current donation drive, which was kicked-off on 26 November to commemorate AAP’s foundation day, the party has been successful in raising donations via Rs. 2611/- campaign; 20k lunch/dinner events and also a unique volunteer-led donation campaign on twitter under the RT2Donate moiker.
Speaking at the launch event, Kejriwal said the AAP has set the gold standards for transparency in political funding and no other party comes close to matching AAP’s transparency.
Kejriwal informed that the AAP has over 100k donors since its inception and in-depth investigations by both the UPA and NDA governments have found all donations to the AAP completely in order and in accordance with law of the land.
Party’s national secretary Pankaj Gupta said through this campaign, the AAP want more and more citizens of this country to become direct stakeholders in our party and hence in defining the politics of this country.

Telecom Scooping $20b Than Investing In Optic Broadband
2 01 2015
January01, 2015 (C) Ravinder Singh ravinderinvent@gmail.com
Going by the TOI story Telecom Department or DoT is to auction 570
MHZ* of spectrum for 1.2 lakh crores – this comes to just Rs.210 per
MHz when in 2010 ‘5 Mhz of 3G spectrum was sold out for Rs 16,751
crore or Rs.3350 crore per MHz’. * [airwaves 60 Mhz in 2G and 330 Mhz
in 3G, and 180 Mhz of existing airwaves.]
When GoI scoops Rs.1,20,000 crores as License Fee – just to recover
this with interest and profits would cost Consumers over Rs.500,000
crores over 10 years or Rs.5000 per head for 100 crore connections –
This doesn’t include Cost of Mobile Devices which could take Annual
Imports Bill of Electronics & Mobile Devices to $400b by 2020.
This is Suicidal Policy driving India in to Financial or Economic Melt Down.
At Rs.210 crore per MHz DoT gets practically nothing even as 2G and 3G
tariffs are too high presently compared to landline charges of Rs.1.25
for 3 minute call. Assuming minimum spectrum required is 2×4.2 Mhz or
2×5 Mhz blocks – is Rs.1764 crores or Rs.2100 crores. This is no
improvement over SCAMMED rate of Rs.1658 crores for Pan India Licence.
But biggest concern is that GoI is neglecting INDIGENOUS Optic Fiber
based Broadband Services.
Already Quality of Service 2G Voice has declined and call drop rate
zoomed due to Extended Use of 2G for providing data services.
Worst of All DoT is not Introducing ‘Optic Fiber Based Services
Broadband Services’ – one Connection Providing VoIP, IPTV, Broadband,
Wifi, Video Conferencing etc.
Developed countries are already Experimenting with 1000 Mbps Data
Speeds per user – 100 Mbps data speed is already a standard but DoT
promotes Outdated Costly & Very Slow 2G and 3G services compared to
present global standards.
Optic Fiber based Wire Networks can service Future Technologies
without ‘Upgrades of Technology’.
Finally there is no change in WEIRD PITRODA POLICY of Wireless
Broadband in Cities and Optic Fiber Based Wire Services in Rural Areas
where just Rs.500 worth of copper wire can deliver 100 MBPS connection
or even 1000 MBPS through Ethernet. In 2003 ISP in view of defect in
distribution server provided direct connection – I was getting over 80
MBPS speed which was over 1000 Times Faster than my contracted speed
of 64 KBPS. 4G Service can deliver Wireless Broadband to Tens of
thousands of consumers in scores of villages at low cost by a Shared
Tower.
In 2003 I was getting TV Channels on my computer with a Video Card
also before Encryption of TV Broadcast.

Indian Railways & Kerala women stay undefeated
2 01 2015
Bhilwara, Rajasthan: Playing to their pedigree, the international stars of Indian Railways and Kerala kept their sides undefeated in the 65th Senior
National Basketball Championship 2014-15. Kerala’s Jeena PS and
Neenumol combined for more than 50 points in an early morning Level 1
league match against Maharashtra on New Year’s Day. The duo’s scoring
had them take an 11 point lead at the end of the first quarter. The next
two quarters saw Maharashtra fight back thanks to some effective work
on both ends of the floor by ex-international Manisha Dange. Dange would
go on to average a double double with 26 points and 13 rebounds, but
Kerala’s size advantage at all the front court positions meant that they
stayed ahead, eventually winning 84-69.
Indian Railways women stayed on top of their Level 1 Pool by running roughshod over a young Punjab side. As many as six players scored in double digits in this effortless team offense for Railways. The first and last quarters especially had Railways completely destroying Punjab offensively and clamping down on them on the defensive end in this lop-sided 113-54 win.
Delhi’s women team too has been on a tear, and sisters Pratima Singh and Prashanti Singh took their side to a close 72-64 win over Tamil Nadu.
In the men’s Level 1 section, Services stayed undefeated with their third straight win, this time over Kerala. Tamil Nadu too cruised past Haryana 91-66. The star studded Uttarakhand side joined Tamil Nadu with three wins by outclassing Indian Railways 88-50.

He has been re-elected as the leader of the ruling Likud party in the primary elections.
