However, as our colleague Pranesh Prakash has said, TRAI has over regulated and used a sledgehammer where a scalpel would have sufficed. Marsden calls positive, forward-looking network neutrality regulation.

A possible alternative to a complicated multi-part legal test is the leaky walled garden proposal. 2015: Facebook rebrands Internet. 2014: Airtel launches 2G, 3G data packs with VoIP data excluded in the pack, later launches VoIP pack. What is Net neutrality According to this principle, all service providers and governments should not discriminate between various data on the internet and consider all as one.2006: TRAI invites opinions regarding the regulation of net neutrality from various telecom industry bodies and stakeholdersFeb. Two, it is easy for the consumer who is harmed to monitor the mitigation measure and last, based on empirical data, the regulator could increase or decrease the proportion of the mitigation measure. That test may be legally sophisticated; but as TRAI argues it is clear and simple rules that result in regulatory equity. Faces huge backlash from publicFeb.

Lakh bridges and about 800 are most important."Globally the top brands in cars started galvanising various parts of the cars including the body to fight corrosion issues.16. One of the rust prevention methods for these structures is to provide a barrier coating by galvanization, galvanization by Zinc" he said. It is an 8-lane cable-stayed bridge, spanning about 5600 meters in length and towering to a height of 126 meters. According to the American Institute of Architects, it is essential to use hot dip galvanized steel, to make such coastal infrastructure decay resistant" he said. It is their direct loss. We are increasing imports but not producing galvanized steel within the country" Sunil Duggal says.5 billion, the material used in the construction project had to meet quality regulations and standards considering an average daily traffic of 37,500 vehicles.

Many countries came together and decided to build this bridge to ensure that it stands tall in any condition."Infrastructure like bridges are extremely vulnerable to rust and corrosion due to their proximity to marine salts and moisture. More than 50% of the route is electrified. There is a focus for building long lasting infrastructure. America alone produced 4. Corrosion reduces the life of rail to nearly half its expected life.""India is producing about 100 million tonnes of steel but surprisingly less than 1% is galvanized, which is just about 8 million tonnes. More than 60% of the cars in India have surface rust which reduces steel strength and the life of the car. However, the same Indian car manufacturers use over 70% galvanized steel for the same models which they export to markets in Europe, Asia and Africa, produced from the same stamping and assembly facilities.Sunil Duggal said, "Indian Railways sector is a major concern since rusting and corrosion of the infrastructure is becoming a worry for safety of passengers. This brought safety to the cars and protection to the environment and strengthened the economy.. Indian Railways has about Rs 1.5 million tonnes of galvanized steel in 2016, which is 30% more than what it produced in 2012. Corrosion eats around $600 billion infrastructure a year which is about 6% of GDP" he says. The fourth largest rail network in the world, Indian Railways, comprises 125,000 km of track length over a route of 67,312 km. But for how many years are we making them sustain is a point of contention."Car makers in Europe, North America, Korea and Japan have been using galvanized steel for body panels for decades and provide anti-corrosion and perforation warranties for a minimum of 10 years."He is of the firm belief that "Indian consumers are not getting it, because they are not demanding for. Experts have estimated losses of almost 4% of GDP per year on account of corrosion which may be avoided if the railway tracks are galvanized. By 1987, what became standard was a 10-year perforation and five-year cosmetic warranty from all the North American, European and Japanese automakers for vehicles sold in the North American market. Almost all the infrastructure of Indian Railways is exposed to humidity, dust and extreme change in climate.

This underlines the wrong priorities of European governments in the fight against terrorism by putting privacy of citizens to override the requirements of preventive action to thwart terrorist attacks. In spite of setbacks, the ISIS has managed to retain initiative to strike in a European capital in dynamics of power play in Central Asia. The plan aims at evolving a coordinated international system responsive EuroPlugs to the dynamics of terrorist threat in different countries. For instance, the US intelligence agencies had passed on information about the el-Bakhroui brothers as potential terrorists to Belgium where they had a criminal record. In the long term, for India understanding Islamic State’s ability to churn up India’s already murky terrorism scene aided and abetted by Pakistan’s Army and its Inter Services Intelligence would be more important.The writing on the wall is clear: fighting Jihadi terror in Europe is going to be a long haul as more and more brainwashed ISIS cadres are returning home to Europe now as the Islamic State’s fortunes in war are fading. Coming back to the Brussels attack, some home truths are emerging about the nature of war on Jihadi terror which would be useful in our own fight against terrorism. The PM has stuck to his schedule despite the terror strikes.

After Al Qaeda’s 9/11 attacks in the US, Jihadi terrorists had carried out shock attacks in London, Paris, Madrid and now Brussels. It carried out two bomb attacks in Brussels — one in the airport and the other in a crowded metro railway station in the city on March 22.The writer is a retired MI specialist on terrorism and insurgency.Thus the region is in danger of continued instability that can only delay the elimination of the Islamic State as the sectarian divide has become an important rallying point for mustering support to the two groups ostensibly fighting the ISIS. The media quickly dubbed it as revenge attacks for the capture of Salah Abdeslam, who had eluded arrest four days earlier ever since he took part in the November 15 Jihadi attacks in Paris in which 130 people were killed.Notwithstanding the mouthing of a whole range of cherished ideals from equality, religious tolerance, democratic governance and human rights, the two camps do not mind sacrificing the very same ideals to further their agenda. The growing schism between Iran and Saudi Arabia is yet another aspect of the failure of the global community to get its act together to eliminate Jihadi terrorism. Their strategic agenda includes the use of any potential divisive issue to dominate regions considered strategically important. They have been able to do this despite tightening of security measures after each major attack, stringent counter terrorism laws, use of technology aided surveillance and tracking devices, sharing of intelligence inputs and exchange of data on potential Jihadists among the population.

The weight is around 210g and it measures 154 x 75 x 17mm which is approximately the size of an iPhone XR (but a lot thicker) making it easy to tote around in a backpack, handbag or a larger purse.Design, BuildThe Astrum PB310 is dressed in black which is ideal for a professional setting such as an office yet trendy enough for a college-going, student.PerformanceThe Astrum PB310 comes with a non-silicone charging pad that holds the smartphone in place. With that being said, it is fabricated with a 10000mAh Li-Polymer battery that withstands 500 power cycles and can fully charge most smartphones up to 2-3 times on an average. While this isn’t a sure fire way to predict how much charge is left, it does give us a rough estimate of how much to expect in order to charge up a tablet or a smartphone. Also, the USB Type-C port can also top up the power bank’s charge and it features a rating of 5V - 2A as well. Somehow, an all-day battery just doesn’t last the entire day and we want a solution that can assist us in surviving the day as well as doesn’t burn a searing hole in our pocket.

Astrum, a brand that has earned a reputation for providing reliable smartphone accessories has been launching power banks which are well received the world over. You will find the design a tad shoddy as the light tends to bleed out of the micro USB port that’s situated next to it. The power bank also comes with Smart IC protection which avoids the circumstances like over-charging, over-discharging and a short circuit. If it is off by even a single centimetre then the wireless charging solution doesn’t work. As of now, there are very few Qi wireless power banks available in the market, and if you’re looking for a solution that can top-up your new iPhone or Samsung flagship, then this is a good choice. In step, the Astrum PB310 Qi wireless power bank, which as the name suggests is a solution for flagship smartphones from Samsung and Apple. There isn’t any fast charging tech embedded in the device so charging it was as long as it would generally take to charge the iPhone from a 5V power socket with the charger and lightning cable it came packaged in.

Narikala FortressA 20-metre-tall aluminium statue of a woman, wearing the Georgian national dress, holding a cup of wine in one hand and a sword in the other is popularly known as Mother of Georgia.Another fascinating aspect of Georgia is its winemaking tradition. She symbolises the nature of Georgia as a country: wine stands for hospitality and the sword represents every Georgian’s love of freedom. Georgia is a country full of statues. Georgian wine is available in almost every corner of the city.Freedom SquareI was privileged to taste a wide range of natural and low-intervention wines, which were amazing with an array of food, especially grilled meats. But trust me, the struggle is worth it. And the same is a given for Georgia.Wine shopOn my first day in Georgia, I arrived at Tsiskvilli for lunch, a very simple restaurant tucked away in old Tbilisi, filled mostly with the locals. Everything about the city is beautiful — the streets, lively flea markets, jewellery, colourful buildings, fabulous wine, and the genuine hospitality make Tbilisi a hotspot for holidays. We ordered a few dishes from the fabric-covered menu.

These old, elegant structures are stunning and contribute to the beauty of the country. It is believed that the Caucasus Mountains of Georgia are the birthplace of wine, and the country is one of the oldest wine producing regions of the world. I visited Tbilisi, the capital and the largest city in Georgia, with my closest friends. The country was a part of the former Soviet Republic that’s home to Caucasus Mountain villages and Black Sea beaches. Little did we know that Georgians don’t eat — they feast! Eating is taken very seriously and it stretches on for hours. The monument was erected on top of the Sololaki Hill in 1958, the year Tbilisi celebrated its 1,500th anniversary. I feel that’s the best way to explore the place.— Lakshmi K.True to its name, Georgia is a gorgeous country.Georgia is also known for its freshly baked breads, which is a reason why the country has a lot of bakeries.

He then exults: "Removing contentious and outspoken Iran pipeline advocate Mani Shankar Aiyar from the Petroleum portfolio, the UPA replaced him with the pro-US Murli Deora, who was one of several figures inducted with long-standing ties to the Indo/ US Parliamentary Forum (IUPF) and the Embassy. Mr Jaitley denied the validity of the cables, but the accusations have persisted. 30, 2008. However, it may not be a coincidence that Navjot Singh Sidhu and Mani Shankar Aiyar who advocate friendship with Pakistan are also staunchly anti-corporate people. It is an old story, but Mr Gandhi told former US ambassador Timothy Roemer that the threat India faces from Hindu extremism is greater than any challenge posed by radical Indian Muslims. But this has not so far induced the desired humility in all concerned.People have grovelled before Rahul Gandhi, pleading with him to take the lead in uniting the Opposition. Is that why he will not have a formal alliance with the Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party in Uttar Pradesh? Why not speak up publicly so that everyone knows the score? And what wrong did Arvind Kejriwal do other than to ask for a seat more than the Congress was willing to give in Delhi?All this has generated a sneaking doubt that the Congress leadership is wary of leaders who may be vocally anti-corporate." As Mr Aiyar would perhaps remark, Indian democracy is being taken to China plugs the pawnshop."The UPA’s Jan. The actual reason for showing him the door may lie in the US cables. It was a justified assessment to make, but why did he share it with a foreign envoy and not with his cadre, leave alone the people? To be fair, Mr Gandhi has been calling out the BJP and the RSS as a challenge.

There seems to be a fallacy that Mr Aiyar was sidelined for using words for Prime Minister Narendra Modi that were interpreted as casteist. What could anybody do? There was turbulence across the world, though India took the revelations mostly below the radar, and the matter was more or less forgotten.For all the hue and cry in the name of the Hindu rashtra and how it is facing perilous times at the hands of Pakistan, China et al, the WikiLeaks cables offer a minor assurance that Hindutva is a means to grab power and not an objective per se. What did they say? "Pressed on the question of Hindutva, Mr Jaitley argued that Hindu nationalism ‘will always be a talking point’ for the BJP. With the recent improvement of Indo-Pak relations, [Mr Jaitley] added, Hindu nationalism is now less resonant in New Delhi, but that could change with another cross-border terrorist attack, for instance on the Indian parliament.When the WikiLeaks papers were published some years ago, senior US officials urged the exposed governments to take evasive action. The Congress picked on the cables of a briefing US officials got from BJP’s Arun Jaitley in May 2005, when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was in the saddle. There is reference to Mr Gandhi’s aversion to caste-based parties in the cables.

When he was casting for Half Girlfriend, he asked to meet.Have you ever felt insecure about being an outsider in the industry?Of course! I do feel insecure some times.You are also doing a horror film Dobaara: See Your Evil…I have done a special appearance in the film, playing the character of a lawyer. Coming back to Sonali Cable, I’m actually very proud of the project — I learnt a lot as a person and an actor. It feels bad when a film doesn’t do well when you put in so much hard work in your character. A lot of actors pick movies that are commercially more viable. It is quite a different role than my previous roles. Sonali Cable blew me away with its concept and through this film, I wanted to prove my worth as an actor. I feel Prawaal Raman is an amazing director with great films in his pocket like Gayab.Launched by YRF, Rhea Chakraborty talks about her three films this year, Dobaara: See Your Evil, Bankchor and Half Girlfriend, her take on star kids getting work easily, her phase when Sonali Cable didn’t do well at the BO and the insecurities of being an outsider.No one knows where the film will take you as an actor. I met him for Aashiqui 2, so we have a bond. There is an emotional aspect to all his films and I wanted to work with him because I like his work.  Bankchor has been stuck for quite a while now.

I also agree that it is a lot easier for star kids China Power Strips to get projects. He told me that if it works for me, it works for him too. I mean, Alia Bhatt is one of the finest actresses we have from this generation. I still have a third film with them pending, and I’m hoping that it will happen soon. Dobaara is another interesting work by him. But then again, talent also matters. It is difficult to stay patient to see myself on big screen, but makers of the film are the best people to know when to release the film. I play an entertainment journalist, who believes that one should have an opinion on every beat. I played an interesting role of an Indian girl based in New York, opposite Arjun Kapoor, who helps move the story forward. I’m trying to keep Saqib Saleem and Huma Qureshi away from the haunted mirror in the film.How did Half Girlfriend happen to you?I’ve known Mohit Suri for the longest time.

All stakeholders, including cable operators and the Pakistan Broadcasters Association, had been warned that steps would be initiated soon against the airing of excessive foreign content, he said.. The amount of airtime for Indian content in Pakistan will mimic the format India has adopted for the airing of Pakistani content, the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority China Power Cables Manufacturers (PEMRA) said, reversing a Musharraf era relaxation on airing of popular Indian dramas and movies on Pakistani channels.On Monday the PEMRA announced that it will only allow airtime to Indian content if India does the same.PEMRA said in the light of the recommendations it has sent to the government, policies made during the General (retd) Pervez Musharraf regime will have no legal standing, which will "benefit the Pakistan industry grow".

A summary in this regard has been sent to the federal government, PEMRA said, adding that the government has also been requested to make airing of the Indian content conditional with that of Pakistan’s content being aired in India. Mumbai: Amidst strained Indo-Pak ties, Pakistan will seek reciprocity from India to allow airtime to Indian television content in the country.The decision was taken on Monday under which PEMRA will only allow airtime to Indian content if India allows airtime to Pakistani content.It further said that from October 15, the body will take action against airing of all "unauthorised" content and TV channels in the country."Around three million Indian DTH decoders are being sold in the country.Last month, PEMRA said it would launch a crackdown on the illegal Indian Direct-to-Home (DTH) and airing of excessive foreign content by TV channels and cable operators.
