Seemandhra employees continuestrike over Telangana
Hyderabad, Oct 15 : Over 400,000 government employees in
Seemandhra continued their strike for 64th day Tuesday to oppose
the decision to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh while their leaders decided
to hold another round of talks with Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar
Reddy Thursday.
Andhra Pradesh Non-Gazetted Officers’ (APNGOs) Association president
P. Ashok Babu told reporters here that their future course of action would
depend on what assurance the chief minister would give on keeping the state
united. APNGOs executive and also various joint action committees of the
striking employees would hold their meetings Wednesday to decide on the
issues to be raised during the meeting with the chief minister.
APNGOs leaders had last week held a meeting with the chief minister but it
failed to find a solution. Over 200,000 teachers and employees of state-
owned Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) had
however called off their strike, restoring some normalcy in Seemandhra
(Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra) after two months. While buses of
APSRTC returned on the roads in all 13 districts, the schools and colleges
will reopen after Dussehra and Eid holidays on Oct 17.
Ashok Babau said the employees were of the view that they should fight till
the end to oppose division of the state. He announced that they would
meet all legislators including those from Telangana to impress upon them the
need to keep the state united for its overall development. “We will also
urge them to oppose Telangana bill when it comes before the stateassembly,” he said. The APNGOs leader demanded that the central
government clarify whether the resolution or bill for state’s division would be

referred to assembly once or twice. He alleged that the central leaderswere giving contradictory statements on the issue. APNGOs will submit a
report to chief secretary in two to three days on the problems the
employees and pensioners would face in the event of the state’s division.
The state will convey the same to group of ministers constituted by the
union cabinet to look into various issues arising out of bifurcation.
Chandrababu Naidu recovering at
Hyderabad hospital
Hyderabad, Oct 14 : Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief N.
Chandrababu Naidu, whose six-day fast in Delhi was forcibly ended
Saturday, is recovering from jaundice at a hospital here.
The former Andhra Pradesh chief minister was admitted to Asian Institute of
Gastroenterology Sunday night and doctors conducted various tests on him.
Doctors said Monday Naidu was stable but a decision on treatment of
jaundice would be taken after more tests. They said his vital parameters
were normal. Naidu had last week undertaken an indefinite fast at Andhra
Pradesh Bhavan in the national capital to protest what he called arbitrary
manner in which the Congress decided to bifurcate the state.
Police had forcibly administered Naidu to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital,
where he was admitted intravenous fluids. According to doctors, Naidu lost
four kg weight due to the fast. He was suffering from dehydration due to the
fast and also developed jaundice. Telugu film star and Naidu’s brother-in-
law N. Balakrishna was among several TDP leaders who called on him atthe hospital.

‘India not ready for online
exhibition of films’
Chennai, Oct 14 : Telugu composer-turned-filmmaker R.P. Patnaik,
who recently released his English directorial debut “Amy” on
Video-On-Demand (VOD) service in the west, feels Indians will
“abuse” this medium, and therefore, they are not yet ready for it.
Supernatural thriller “Amy” was released Oct 1 on Dish, Blockbuster,
Amazon, Vimeo and several other online film portals.
“We (Indians) are generous enough to share films with others. In the
process, we illegally download or copy films from different sources. This
is why I think we are not yet ready for online exhibition of content. I think
we will abuse it,” Patnaik told IANS. “I wouldn’t mind if someone
pays once and shows the film to a few of his or her friends. But, we
(Indians) want everything free of cost,” he added.
Does that mean westerners don’t abuse this medium? “I’m sure they
might, but VOD is a very lucrative business model there. There are films
exclusively made to be released on it during festive seasons such as
Halloween and Christmas. I was told by my producer that it generates
billions in revenue,” he said.
“In fact, some films make more money on VOD vis-a-vis a theatrical
release. In essence, most of them pay and watch films via this medium,”
said Patnaik, who has earlier directed Telugu films such as “Broker” and
“Friends Book”.
How do you plan to release “Amy” in India?

“I’m still figuring out different options. I want to have a theatrical releasebecause I want to make it possible for many people to watch it. I don’t think
I will go for online release,” said Patnaik, who has composed music for films
such as “Chitram”, “Nuvvu Nenu” and “Swagatam”.
He believes theatres can’t be held responsible for not screening low budget
films.
“Theatre owners are always blamed for not supporting small films. But, I feel
it’s the audience who should take the blame. I agree small films have limited
theatrical release, but sadly even these few theatres are not able to have 100percent occupancy,” he said. “Audiences are not going to watch these films
at the first place. The occupancy rate is not even a healthy 60 percent. How
do you expect theatres to screen these films for weeks, when the footfall
drops drastically on the second day itself,” he asked.
After two months, buses return on
Seemandhra roads
Hyderabad, Oct 12 : After two long months, buses of state-owned
Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corp (APSRTC) returned on
the roads of Seemandhra Saturday as the employees called off their
strike.
Over 12,000 buses came out of depots in the 13 districts of Seemandhra,
as Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra regions are together known.
Bus services also resumed between Hyderabad and Seemandhra, providing
much needed relief to people and restoring some normalcy in the region,
witnessing protests for the last two months over the decision to carve out a
separate Telangana state.

The workers called off their strike following talks with Transport MinisterBotsa Satyanarayana, APSRTC managing director A.K. Khan and other
officials Friday night. The government also agreed to consider all service
related demands of the employees. The government had appealed to the
employees to return to work in view of the severe cyclonic threat to the
coastal region and also in view of the puja holidays.
The two-month-long strike caused severe hardships to people in the
sprawling region of over five crore population and also resulted in loss of
over Rs.700 crore to APSRTC.The APSRTC workers along with the other
government employees were on strike since Aug 12 to demand that Andhra
Pradesh should not be split up.
Electricity employees Friday returned to work after a five-day strike while
teachers have also called off their nearly two-month long strike. However,
other government employees have decided to continue the protest till a
clear assurance is provided that the state will not be divided.

from the venue of his fast at Andhra Bhavan even as hundreds of hissupporters tried to stop police from moving him.
He seems to intend to continue his fast as he refused to accept a glucosedrip. The Group of Ministers (GoM) meeting in Delhi discussed a broadoutline of issues on Andhra Pradesh’s against the backdrop of widespreadprotests over the union cabinet’s decision to carve out India’s 29th state.“The GoM discussed the approach and methodology to be adopted by it,”said a home ministry statement. Keeping in mind the large scale protests inSeemandhra (as the coastal Andhra and Rayalseema regions are jointlycalled), the GoM assured the state’s people that all issues and concerns
would be addressed with “fairness and objectivity”.It promised to take the “opinion of stake-holders on all important subjectswhile formulating its recommendations”. According to the home ministrystatement, the GoM will look into various aspects like water sharing,finances, law and order, and formulating a legal framework. Information willalso be sought from the state government on these issues and the process willstart immediately, said officials.
The next meeting of the GoM, on Oct 19, will be a full-fledged one and willdiscuss the bifurcation’s parameters, said officials.

owned Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) arereportedly willing to end their strike, talks between their leaders and the
chief minister did not take place Friday.
Various sections of employees ended their agitation after the chief minister
assured them that the issue of formation of Telangana would be referred to
state assembly twice, once for its opinion and the second time for voting. He
also assured that all legislators from Seemandhra would ensure the defeat of
the Telangana state bill.
The employees’ leaders said the chief minister quoted Congress generalsecretary Digvijaya Singh as saying that the issue would be referred twice to
the state assembly, after Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde’s statement that
the bill would be sent to assembly only for its opinion had created confusion
among employees coming forward to call off the strike. Protests continued
in Seemandhra, with employees, students among others taking out rallies
and formed human chains. In Delhi, hospital officials told IANS that
Chandrababu Naidu’s condition is stable.
RML Hospital’s medical superintendent H.K. Kar told IANS that the
former Andhra Pradesh chief minister refused to be administered a glucosedrip but drank water. Efforts were on to persuade him, he added. Earlier in
the day, there was high drama as scores of Delhi Police personnel reached
Andhra Bhavan, where Naidu was on fast since Monday, to air his protest
at the arbitrary manner in which the Congress decided to carve out a
separate Telangana. Seeing the police approach, angry supporters formed
a ring around Naidu, shouting slogans and also vandalising the Bhavan’s
property. A Delhi Police official told IANS that the supporters tried to stop
police but Naidu himself stepped towards the ambulance, present at the
Bhavan since morning. At the hospital, a wheelchair was offered to him buthe walked into the ward, said the officer.

‘RBI to hold rates on highinflation, supply side issues’
The Reserve Bank
of India (RBI) is
likely to maintain
status quo in its
upcoming monetary
policy review,
according to Dun &
Bradstreet India’s
research report.
This is because
inflation is expected to remain at an elevated level on account of pass through
of rupee depreciation and supply side bottlenecks.
In September, headline inflation accelerated to a 7-month high of 6.46 per
cent, while food inflation climbed to 18.40 per cent as against 18.18 per cent
in the previous month. To top it, the rupee depreciated over 20 per cent so
far in this fiscal.
“The pass through of the sharp depreciation of rupee witnessed over the past
few months is now being witnessed as inflation in non-food articles and petrol
inches higher. This along with the price pressures from food articles,
especially vegetables and fruits, pose challenges to the monetary policy
action,” said Arun Singh, senior economist, Dun & Bradstreet India. Non-
abating of inflationary pressures was likely to keep interest rates high as the
RBI is likely to hold policy rate at elevated level.
According to the report, while the good monsoon was expected to provide
some relief, it was only likely to aid in bringing down the prices of cereals.
However, the prices of vegetables, fruits and egg, meat and fish, whichcontinues to stay high is likely to provide upward pressure to inflation, the
report said.

“While the RBI is trying to bring down the short-term interest rates, interestrates in general are likely to remain elevated during the year dampening both
consumption as well as investment demand,” the report added.
Meanwhile, the country’s factory output, which grew at mere 0.6 per cent
in August, is likely to hover in the range of 1.5-2.5 per cent in Sept-13.
“Recovery of IIP seems to be tenuous in the near-term as the moderation in
demand is likely to weigh down heavily on industrial production, which is
already affected by the supply-side issues,” the report said.
Also, the postponement of the withdrawal of the US monetary stimulus and
measures taken by the RBI and the government has provided respite to the
sharp depreciating rupee, rupee is likely to remain under pressure in the
near-term following the development in the global economy, the report said.
Job uncertainty makes people
wary of taking loans, says survey
Though the government has decided to increase the quantum of capital
infusion to encourage banks from lending more to customers, the latter are
refraining from taking fresh loans due to the persistent economicenvironment.
A survey by industry body, the Associated Chambers of Commerce and
Industry of India (Assocham) states that individuals are becoming
increasingly conservative when it comes to taking loans against fixed
deposits, shares, bonds or even spending through credit cards.
Reportedly the government increased the quantum of capital infusion over
the ‘14,000 crore allocated in the current fiscal budget. According to data
provided by the chamber, loans against FDs showed a decline of 1.6%when compared to 20% growth registered between August 2012 and
August 2013. “Firmness in interest rates is also one of the main reasons for

the trend, since the deposit rates have been recently revised upward in thewake of tight liquidity position. Uncertainty resulting from economic
slowdown and discouraging job scenario are also responsible for the
individuals shying away from borrowing against their advances and
deposits,” the chamber said in a statement.
Credit card outstanding have shown a negative growth of 5.2%, Assocham
said. “But the trend is becoming negative as credit card users are refusing
to bite the trap of credit card over dues offers etc,” they added.
However, the chamber says that corporates are facing the liquidityproblems, arising from almost a total drying of the corporate deposit
markets. They added that banks are not too willing to lend to big corporate
houses due to the bloating size of NPAs.

They said the matter of cash recovery has been referred to Income Taxdepartment for further action. CBI has registered the 14th FIR in the
coal scam in the alleged “undue favours” shown to Birla by the thenCoal Secretary. The sources said the probe is monitored by the SupremeCourt and CBI would be informing the apex court of all thedevelopments that have taken place in its status report to be filed onOctober 25. They said they have strong evidence to buttress theirclaims in connection with the case and the allegations would be probedfurther during their probe in the case.
CBI sources said they have slapped the charges of criminal misconducton the part of the government official and that stands even if there is noquid pro quo. The sources claimed that alleged favours shown to Birla inawarding Talabira II and III resulted in notional loss to the exchequer
which are enough to book Parakh and Birla for criminalconspiracy.Parakh and Hindalco have both refuted the allegations andclaimed no wrong doing was involved in the decision.

partially led by the ultimate scarcity of the hotel accommodation in
2007-08 when accommodation prices rose up to Rs 20,000 a night.
In the present scenario, hospitality industry has projected an increase
in the supply of hotel rooms to meet the rising demand in the coming
three to five years. With the launch of 297-room property at Vittal
Mallya Road by JW Mariott and the proposed opening of 277-room
hotel by big brand Ritz Carlton, the availability of luxury rooms is
expected to increase. JW Mariott has also launched earlier this year
another hotel with 324 rooms capacity, eying at the fast growing
Whitefield in Bangalore.
Discussing the mechanism working behind the spurt in the number of
branded hotels in the city, Saumitra Chaturvedi, food & beverage
manager at Radisson Blu, said: “In fact, the hotel industry find its
business in the popular business centers. Any big brand you name and
you will find its roots and branches in the heart of the businesscenters.

Earlier it was Delhi, Gurgaon and Noida in the northern part of the
country with blooming business. Now the fast growing Bangalore has
caught their attention.”
Chaturvedi, having worked with brands like Taj and Leela in Bangalore
a few years back, said the rising demand of the hotel rooms can be
related to the increasing inflow of tourists to the city as well as the
city being one of the busiest business centers in the country.
Since new areas are being developed here and the city is expanding,
the hotel industry has identified it as a right opportunity to expand its
wings. In a recent interview Amit Samson, general manager of Hotel
Lalit Ashok, Bangalore said that an expected two-fold rise in the
number of hotel rooms in the coming five years may result in a
demand-supply mismatch. According to Samson, while the demand is
rising at an estimated rate of 9 percent, the supply, according to the
plans declared by different brands of hotels will rise at 10 percent.

This would result in the occupancy ratio of the hotels with more of the
rooms remaining vacant and would also be a deciding point for fixing
of room rent, likely nosing down going by the trends of new hotels
coming to the city.
According to one of the estimates, more of the hotel rooms are rented
to business visitors leading to about three fourth of the total rooms.
The tourism has still not reached the desired level of the room
occupancy in Bangalore.
Mukesh, one of the leading booking agent of the city said that thereare two types of earning patterns of the hotels in the city. While hotels
like Lalit Ashok, having 184-room property gets major part of its

earning by way of renting its banquets and halls for parties and
seminars, there are other hotels which largely depends on room rents
and would certainly be affected with more hotels coming to the city.The demand, on the other hand would be increasing gradually and an
overnight impact cannot be expected. Commenting on the business
trend this year, Mukesh added that the earning from room rent has
slightly on the higher side as compared to the corresponding period of
April to August last year.
The hotel industry, however, is not playing blind. There are projects
which are on hold at present. Zuri Hotels has put on hold to its
ambitious project of 200-room property in Devanahalli (near airport).
One of the sources in the hotel said the reason was the area not being
developed as expected. Another factor becoming the contributing
factor in a sudden spurt in the hotels in Bangalore is, the Centre

extending the‘Tourist Visa on
Arrival’ scheme
to Bangalore
airport last
month to
foreigners
arriving from 11
countries.
Another hitch
which may hit
the expandingmarket of the
branded hotels would be the finance part. With the economy not going
that good, interest rates going higher, funding being made difficult by
the bankers financing of a hotel project might not turn to be a child’s
play. Unlike the residential segment, where developers get customer
advances, hospitality requires upfront funding and offers no
immediate returns.
Hence, developers are looking at hospitality-specific funds, who can
be strategic partners and not just investors. An example for such
projects is Brigade Hospitality, looking to raise Rs 200-300 crore to
fund an upcoming Holiday Inn in Bangalore and two mid-segment
hotels in Mysore is looking to adopt a similar strategy. Adding a
conformity to the guesses, the US-based hospitality leader Marriott
International opened its Fairfield brand hotel in Bangalore this
Wednesday in the moderate tier segment. This is the first Asia venture
of the group, in association with Samhi Hotels.
The newly opened facility, as a Samhi’s franchisee, Marriott will run
the 148-room hotel in the fast-growing market segment to become a
preferred choice for middle-class customers, as its suites are priced at
Rs 6,500 per day. “With more people entering the middle-class
segment in India, the timing for opening such a hotel is right and themarket is primed for a brand like Fairfield,” a person associated with
Marriott, said.

Apollo Hospitalslaunches BP Clinics at
Hyderabad!
Hyderabad, H I News Service: 07/
10/2013
BP Clinics is an initiative aimed at combating the menace of high BP in the
country, with focus on reducing or delaying incidence of blood pressure and
minimising the incidence of complications in those who are already hypertensive,
Sangita Reddy, executive director of Apollo Hospitals Group, said in a release.
“Around Rs 10 crore will be invested in setting up these clinics in the initial
phase, and these will be expanded further after reviewing the outcomes,” she
said, adding initially, the group would be launching these clinics at Apollo Jubilee
Hills and Hyderguda here, followed by Apollo Secunderabad.
These will have a structure comprising advanced BP Clinics located at Apollo’s
hospitals and serve as hubs besides having a series of BP Clinics, Express BP
Clinics and homecare services. These clinics will have advanced diagnostics
infrastructure like periscopes, which can monitor central blood pressure and
check elasticity of blood vessels, and devices for 24 hours BP monitoring.
Speaking on the occasion, BP specialist, Venkata S Ram said only 50 per cent
of the patients with hypertension were aware that they had high BP and among
them only 50 per cent were on treatment and only 50 per cent of these had BP
under control.
“Around 90 million people in our country suffer from hypertension and
approximately $24 billion is incurred annually to take care of high BP patientsin India. It is estimated that around one in every three urbanites and one in four
rural people are afflicted by hypertension in the country,” he added.

Taking an initiative in this direction, the Planning Commission has called a joint meeting of Home Ministry, External Affairs Ministry, Tourism Ministry
and National Security Advisor in the first week of October.
During the meeting, the officials would discuss the issues related to tourist
visas and ways to improve access to that for encouraging foreigners to
choose India for holidaying.
“We have called a meeting in October to discuss issues related to tourist
visa for India. We are expecting Tourism Ministry, Planning Commission
Deputy Chairman and other senior officials from concerned ministries toattend the meeting,” Planning Minister Rajeev Shukla told PTI.
The current account deficit is the difference between inflow and outflow of
foreign exchange. During the 2012—13, the CAD was at all time high of
4.8 per cent of GDP or $88.2 billion. The Government proposes to bring it
down to $70 billion or 3.8 per cent of the GDP.
“Tourism Ministry has flagged strict tourist visa regime as impediment in the
growth of foreign visitors in the country which ultimately results is lesser
foreign exchange earnings,” he added.
According to Shukla, the tourism potential of India could not be exploited
due to strict tourist visa regime and the country has everything including
beaches, backwaters, snow, desert and different weathers, which attract
foreign tourists.
Shukla said that restoring India’s foreign missions’ flexibility in granting
tourist visa would further help in attracting more visitors which would result
in bridging CAD.
According to the minister, the officials would also deliberate on increasing
the tourist visa on arrival regime with other countries to boost the sector.

Budapest, the capitalof Hungary, was named after the two cities Buda and Pest were unified into
one in 1873? This awesome European city has plenty of interesting things to
do and see, and luckily, some of the best sites are free! If you’re on a
budget, here are the top things to do during your Budapest holidays:
Check out the churches
Budapest’s churches are awesome examples of the eclectic and impressive
architecture foundin the city. As in most European cities, the ancient
churches are free of charge to visit, though they may ask for a very small
donation once you’re inside.One of the most notable is the Cave Church onGellert Hill near Liberty Bridge. This stunning church, carved into the rough
rocks of Gellert Hill, is a marvellous sight to behold. The chapel walls are
natural rock and there are little chapels and various nooks and crannies that
go with the flow of the naturally curved walls. The acoustics are also pretty
interesting. The Hungarian Paulitemonks keep the Cave Church up and
running for visitors, and it’s definitely a must-see attraction. Take a peek into
other churches of note as you walk through the city, including the famous
Saint Stephen’s Basilica.
Head to Heroes’ Square
Heroes’ Square is the main square in Budapest. The central landmark of the
colonnaded monuments is a 36-metre high column with a statue of archangel

Gabriel perched on top. Construction of The Millennium Monumentbeganduring 1896 - the year of Hungary’s 1,000th anniversary. It’s a lovely spotfor photos and a place to learn a bot about Hungarian history, as themonument has 14 statues of historic figures and is a tribute to the seventribes that foundedthe region.
Climb Castle Hill
Head to the Castle Hill district on the left bank of the Danube for a stepback into Mediaeval times. It’s likely that if you’re anywhere near theDanube, you’ve seen the majestic Buda Castle, also known as the RoyalPalace. This stunningly large structure, perched on a hill, was built in the 14th
century as a residence for Hungarian kings. Today, you can explore thepalace and gardens for free, and the museums inside - like the HungarianNational Gallery - charge a nominal fee. Aside from Buda Castle, make timeto see Fisherman’s Bastion and MatthiasChurch. The bestthing about theCastle Hill district is that cars are not allowed, except for the very fewpeople who live here.You can take public transit here, but one awesomeoption is a walk on the gorgeous Chain Bridge across the Danube. Take awalk on the Chain Bridge at night - another free activity - for beautiful viewsof the city lights at night.
Hangout on Margaret Island
Margaret Island is a 238-acre piece of landin the middle of the DanubeRiver. The city has taken great care to cultivate this gorgeous urban park, sodon’t miss the chance to take a romantic walk or bike ride in this lush oasis.It’s dotted with fountains, monuments and a gorgeously abandonedDominican convent from the 13th to 16th centuries as well asotherMediaeval ruins.
Visit the KerepesiCemetery
This 56-hectare cemetery is one of the largest statue parks in Europe. Manyfamous Hungarians are buried here and the mausoleums are massive. It’s nota creepy place but a very peaceful one. Check out the amazing marblestatues - one of the most notable is the Jozsef Antall Monument. He was the
first Prime Minister of Hungary elected democratically after the fall of Communism, and is a great localhero.

Nightlife
hotspots in
BangkokIf you ask anyone who
knows the region, they’ll likely say that Bangkok has some of the best
nightlife in all of Southeast Asia - maybe even all of Asia. It’s a veritable
nightlife hotspot with clubs, bars and lounges at every turn. Check out the
best of the best during your Bangkok holidays:
For dancing
Head to Glow, an underground nightclub with a massive vodka selection, an
incredible sound system and the most cutting-edge electronic music. This is a
place for people serious about their jams. The dance floor is small but that
doesn’t stop people from crowding in. Ifyou want to escape the crowds,you can head upstairs to the more relaxed balcony area with comfortable
seating. You’ll recognise this club easily at night from the faint neon green
glow escaping its doors.
For bowling
Yes, that’s right - Bangkok even has a nightlife venue that combines bowling,
dance music and libations for a wild time. Head to Major Bowl, located in
ThonglorJ-Avenue Mall, for a cosy, crazy bowling experience. The venue is
quite small so you’ll get to know fellow revellers pretty well. A DJ spins the
latest pop and dance music and the lanes are glow-in-the-dark with neon
bowling balls.

One of the best-known nightlife spots in all of Bangkok is BedSupperclub,a futuristicvenue which hosts international DJs and is often
visited by international celebrities on their Bangkok holidays. It’s also a
popular lounge spot for wealthy Thai citizens, actors and models - in fact,
the club hosts a once a week models night. If you’re wondering where the
club gets its name, you’ll notice when you step inside the comfortable beds
line the walls and are the perfect place for sprawling, meeting new friends
and people-watching while you take a break from dancing.
For a beer
While Bangkok is packed with fast-pacednightspots where the mixed drink is par for the course, beer-lovers aren’t left out here. There are several
excellent pubs and even breweries in the city. One of the best is The
Londoner, a British-style pub, that attracts an international crowd. This
micro-brewery serves up hearty pub fare and some of its very own brews.
It’s located in the Sukhumvitneighbourhood, so you can come here for an
early dinner and beer before heading out to the hopping clubs nearby.

New Delhi, Oct 15 : India’s tourism ministry has launched a website
that provides 360 degree view of popular destinations in five cities,
including Delhi, and lets people tag and review locations, hotels,
monuments, etc., officials said Tuesday.
Wonobo.com is also available in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad andGoa. It will be expanded to 54 cities within a few weeks, officials added.
“The site offers user generated content while offering social media
capabilities and facilitating creation of ‘local communities’ online,” said an
official.
“This initiative aims to empower the tourist by helping him plan his tour. We
have set a target of having one ‘walking tour’ in each state within two
years,” added the official. Genesys International, a Mumbai-based tech firm
which developed the platform jointly with the tourism ministry said it would
have mapped panoramic imagery of thousands of square kilometres andclose to 10 million places of interest across the country.

It’s a Bird, it’s a Plane, it’s aSolar Powered Plane!
The team at Solar Impulse is taking solar power to a whole new level.
According to their website, “Solar Impulse’s ambition is for the world of
exploration and innovation to contribute to the cause of renewable energies,to demonstrate the importance of clean technologies for sustainabledevelopment; and to place dreams and emotions back at the heart of scientific adventure.” Launched in 2003, it completed the world’s first
solar26-hour day and night flight in 2010.
This year Solar Impulse will be attempting the celebrated coast-to-coast
flight of the United States, West to East. On Saturday, May 4th the team
completed the first leg of their Across America tour, taking off in San
Francisco and landing safely in Phoenix. During the flight Bertrand
Piccard, the solar plane’s pilot,heard an aircraft asking the Air Traffic
Controller (ATC) about Solar Impulse and why he had to remain at a
distance. The ATC replied, “Just think of a flying electric car!” cracking
Bertrand into a hearty laugh.
A deep-blue array of 12,000 silicon solar cells stretches across the morethan 60-meter wingspan, which is nearly as long as a Boeing 747’s. At
1,600 kilograms, the airplane weighs less than a compact car. The

electricity-producing solar cells themselves are only 135 microns thick—the width
of a human hair—yet they can convert more than 20 percent of the incoming
sunlight into electricity, and more than enough for takeoff, powered flight and a
daily recharge of the batteries that keep the plane aloft through the night.
Takeoff requires 10 horsepower from each of four electric engines, which issupplied by the solar cells and pre-charged lithium ion batteries [90kWh].The engines are quickly throttled back to seven horsepower to climb and
then as little as 2.5 horsepower per engine is required at cruising altitudewhere the plane flies at roughly 80 kilometers per hour. The plane climbs to9,000 meters by mid-afternoon when the sun shines most abundantly andthen, to conserve power, slowly descends to 1,500 meters over the course of the evening where it flies on battery power until the next sunrise, when thecycle repeats anew. “In order to stay airborne until the next sunrise it has tobe that big and that light,” Piccard explains. “We have calculated what weneed in terms of energy, so that
gave us the surface and it gave us the wingloading.”

Naldhera: Golf, Nordic resort andmuch more
Chandigarh, : Staying in a boutique mountain resort built in Nordic
design with pinewood logs from Finland, playing golf on a 2,200-
metre high course with towering cedar trees as the backdrop,breathtaking views of the Himalayas and mingling with simple hil
folks. And all this packaged into one makes for a refreshing holiday.
Naldhera, one of the highest 18-hole courses in the world, would charm any
avid golfer given the completely different terrain that it offers for golf. The
lush green course, spread over the hill slopes, is a delight to watch and play.
The golf course was a favourite spot of British viceroy Lord Curzon, who
was so in awe of the beauty of the place that he named his third and
youngest daughter Lady Alexandra Naldhera (1904-1995).
Located 22 km from Himachal Pradesh capital Shimla, Naldhera may seem
to be a laid-back destination but it packs quite a punch. Naldhera is locatedclose to the sulphur hot-springs at Tattapani, 23 km away, along the Sutlej
river. River-rafting can also be done at Tattapani.

“The beauty of Naldhera is that everything here is raw nature. Youcannot get closer to nature than this,” Amish Sud, a young
entrepreneur and owner of the Nordic-style resort, The Chalets, told.
The Chalets, which opened its doors in 2002, is itself an experience.
“We imported the pinewood from Oulu town in Finland and created
this (resort). No trees were cut while the cottages came up. Each
cottage and apartment offers a breath-taking view. All cottages have
their own balconies and private gardens and a working fireplace,”
said Sud, a perfect host. The storybook resort offers forest and
nature walks, horse-riding, golf, a solar-heated indoor swimmingpool, recreation activities like table tennis, badminton, golf putting
and indoor games. It even has a small revolving restaurant, offering
360-degree views of the Himalayas, a well-equipped conference hall
for about 75 people, a spa and outdoor sitting arrangements. The
resort has nearly 300 varieties of flowers and plants.
“On a clear night, the stars are a delight to watch through the
towering Deodhar trees around the resort,” said tourist Harinder Singh.
Each cottage has been given a different name by Shimla-based author
and historian Raja Bhasin. One of the cottages has been named the
‘Sir Henry Collet Chalet’ after a famous British botanist and armyofficer who authored the book ‘Simla Simlensis’, a handbook on
flowering plants of Shimla and its neighbourhood. Just two kilometres

away from the resort is a tiny village, Kogi, which showcases heritage
house architecture of the hills. “The simple life of the village and its
residents is a pleasure to observe. Even the hot water hamam is unique,”
said tourist Ritika Chopra, who was visiting the village. At the golf
course, which is managed by Himachal Tourism, a bright sunny day or
even clouds hovering in the vicinity, offer a different experience.
“We get golfers from all over the country and abroad. Playing here is a
completely different experience from all golf courses,” its caretaker,Pratap Singh Verma, told IANS. Apart from the peak season, playing golf
at Naldhera gives the feeling of playing on your own private course.
Getting there:
* Naldhera is 430 km from New Delhi, 165 km from Chandigarh and 22
km from Shimla. The drive from Shimla takes about one hour.
* The Chalets resort is located in Durgapur village, 300 metres ahead of
the Naldhera golf course.
* The tariff ranges from Rs.8,000 (room) to Rs.36,000 (cottage with 4
bedrooms) per night.
* Meal for two can cost up to Rs.1,500.
* Peak tourist season is from May to July.
