EXPRESSINDIA.COM The Indian Express Group _________________________________________________________________ The Indian Express daily newsletter Edition of Friday, August 20, 2004 _________________________________________________________________ INDIAN EXPRESS ********************* TODAY'S TOP STORIES ******************* After silver lining, the cloud: two dope medals in one day A double blow for India on the field � losses in tennis and hockey � was nothing compared to the double blow off it. Pratima Kumari and Sanamacha Chanu were suspended today for two years after testing positive, two of seven lifters from five countries found guilty of doping. http://www.indianexpress.com/full_story.php?content_id=53479 _______________________________________________________________ Why Ukraine, Belarus? Govt had asked the IOA Why do the top Indian athletes train in Belarus � where Sanamacha Chanu and Pratima Kumari were before they left for Athens � and Ukraine? It�s a question frequently discussed but rarely asked until now. The Sports Ministry had written a letter to the IOA asking it why athletes were repeatedly being sent to Ukraine for training. http://www.indianexpress.com/full_story.php?content_id=53480 _______________________________________________________________ Urgent need for a witness protection programme: Law panel tells govt Responding to a concern raised by the Supreme Court in the Best Bakery case, the Law Commission has initiated the process of drafting a law to protect witnesses with a slew of radical measures, including changing their identity and even their physical appearance. http://www.indianexpress.com/full_story.php?content_id=53483 _______________________________________________________________ Why did cop in charge not alert control room as 89 died in Naroda? One of the worst massacres after the Sabarmati Express attack was in the Ahmedabad neighbourhood of Naroda-Patiya where 89 people, including women and children, were killed, many burnt alive. The head of the Naroda police station, K K Maisurwala, has now said that he did not inform the police city control room of the incident. http://www.indianexpress.com/full_story.php?content_id=53482 _______________________________________________________________ A job opening: main Opp party in House He slips in quietly and from an obscure corner on the last seat in the last row observes the proceedings of the House with Buddha-like detachment, an occasional smile playing on his lips. Nothing remarkable in a Lok Sabha full of newcomers who prefer the back benches�except that this particular backbencher is Atal Behari Vajpayee. http://www.indianexpress.com/full_story.php?content_id=53490 _______________________________________________________________ Drought to flood, flood to drought Hardly a week ago, Shahpura�s Sub-Divisional Officer Premraj Parmar did a little survey and prepared a report. Because of ��below average rains�� in his area, he warned the State Government of an impending drought in the region. Today, he is preparing a flood damage assessment report. Two days of incessant rainfall�more than 50 per cent above average�has swamped Rajasthan�s Bhilwara district. http://www.indianexpress.com/full_story.php?content_id=53492 _______________________________________________________________ /------------------------ advertisement ------------------------ No 1 Indian Matrimonials - 550,000+ members, 150,000+ photo profiles, 16,000+ successful matches!
