EXPRESSINDIA.COM The Indian Express Group _________________________________________________________________ The Indian Express daily newsletter Edition of Saturday, August 21, 2004 _________________________________________________________________ INDIAN EXPRESS ********************* TODAY'S TOP STORIES ******************* Golden Quadrilateral slips into the slow lane With the Golden Quadrilateral deadline set for March 2005, work should have been on the fast track. Instead, it�s now a crawl: only 52% has been completed, New Minister T R Balu has pushed the deadline for ��substantial completion�� by nine months, from March next year to December. A question mark hangs over that deadline as well given that the National Highway Authority of India has, citing non-performance, terminated two contracts and put as many as 15 other contractors on notice, barring them from bidding for any future contracts. http://www.indianexpress.com/full_story.php?content_id=53528 _______________________________________________________________ Pratima makes it obvious she has many weights to lift Her Commonwealth gold medal showcased behind her, her fiance helping her marshal arguments, Pratima Kumari settles in her Dwarka apartment to tell a story that seems persuasive in some parts, scripted for effect in others. http://www.indianexpress.com/full_story.php?content_id=53534 _______________________________________________________________ Law Minister gets SC verdict wrong Law Minister H R Bhardwaj�s criticism of the Madras High Court�s move to regulate the practice of advocates flies in the face of a Supreme Court judgment delivered less than two years ago.
