once known for its lush orchards, is today a charred battlefield. Torched vehicles,
gutted houses and belongings
and the stomach-churning

after the carnage, the park

What remains indicates
how the 260-acre park was
turned into a personal empire by Swadheen Bharat
Subhas Senas leader Ram
Vriksha Yadav and his armed
followers, who had stocked
provisions and material for
what they evidently expected
to be a long siege.

In a large makeshift structure that functioned as a community kitchen, utensils lie

scattered. A generator and
several batteries and inverters, as well as solar panels,
show how the group managed
after electricity was cut off
two months ago.

Tankers ply 1.5L litres water

daily to parched Corbett

@timesgroup.com

Nainital: Soaring temperatures are taking a toll on Corbett National Park. With natural water sources inside the
park practically drying up due
to the intense heat, officials
have been forced to arrange
for water tanks to ensure that
the animals drinking water
requirements are met.
According to estimates,
almost 1.5 lakh litres of water
is being procured every day to
fill up more than 100 water
holes in the park. Although
procuring water has been a
regular practice more or less
every summer, this year, the

dry spell was too long. Hence,

our requirement is huge and
we have had to get additional

water for the animals, park director Sameer Sinha told TOI.
The exercise started in
April with the onset of summer but as temperatures have
risen, the quantum of water
being bought has also gone
up. According to officials, every day, 35-40 tankers arrive at
the park, each carrying 4,000
litres of water. This is then filled in the water holes either
manually or with pump sets.
This is serious. The soaring temperatures have resulted in a situation where we
have had to increasingly depend on supplied water to
meet the requirements of the
animals, said Saket Badola,
deputy director of the park.

Unprecedented JUDGES OBJECT

Take Such A Step its recommendation

@timesgroup.com

New Delhi: In a first, the government has rejected a recommendation of the Supreme Court collegium for appointment of a high court chief
justice for the second time.
This comes at a time when
the government and judiciary are locked in a standoff
over certain clauses in the
Memorandum of Procedure
that will guide appointments
to the higher judiciary.
The collegium, comprising the four seniormost judges of the apex court and headed by the Chief Justice of India, had recommended a judges name for appointment as
chief justice of a prominent
opposition-governed state.

The government turned it

down. The collegium reiterated its recommendation,
which makes it binding on
the government to appoint
the judge in question.
However, the government has asked the collegium to reconsider its decision as at least two sitting SC
judges have expressed reservations about the judge.

New Delhi: The police are

set to ask three members of
Apollo Hospitals medical
authorisation committee to
join investigations after it
emerged that the committee
had approved transplants
conducted by the recently
busted kidney racket.
The committee includes
senior doctors who interview donors and recipients before deciding on transplants.
At least one of the three committee members to be called
for investigations is a doctor,
police said.
Sources in Apollo Hospital said external members
were part of the authorisation commitee. In case of unrelated donors, this involves
government representatives
also, a source said. Over 300
donors from UP, Bihar and
Bengal are believed to have
been conned since January.

In age of e-tailing, drab dakiya

John.Sarkar@timesgroup.com

New Delhi: The good old dakiya is in for a corporate makeover. Out goes dull khaki,
in come baseball caps and a
colourful uniform. With e-commerce-backed logistics companies breathing down their necks, thousands of postmen and women will soon be
seen in a new avatar to keep
up with the competition.

The move comes along

with the plan to set up India
Posts payments bank under
which postmen will also be
given smartphones and
iPads to help them facilitate
transactions at doorsteps.
They want to be really competitive. The logistics sector
in India has undergone a sea
change with the boom in ecommerce. Several new
firms are doing brisk busi-

ness. The uniform redesign

is just part of a bigger exercise India Post is undertaking
to take on these new players, said a source.
The Indian logistics industry is pegged at $300 billion and is expected to grow at
a compound annual rate of
12% by 2020, according to market researcher Novonous.
