Today Eiffel Tower was opened for public

symbol of love Eiffel tower was opened for public . yes,
The iconic Eiffel Tower was open to the public in Paris on March 31, 1889. To mark the 126th anniversary of the public opening, Google has dedicated a doodle on its homepage.
The 324 meter Eiffel Tower is the tallest structure in Paris, and the doodle features a bunch of Gallic workmen constructing the tower. The workmen seem to be happy and quite involved in their work seemingly unaware of the dangers of working at such heights.
The Eiffel Tower was the creation of Gustave Eiffel, and it was meant to serve as an archway for the 1889 World’s Fair. It was the tallest man-made structure in the world of its time, before being piped by the Empire State Building. The tower sees some 7 million visitors each year and up to 30,000 a day in the peak summer season.

Anti terror bill pssed in Gujrat state assembly

Anti terror Bill introduced by State government led by CM Anandiben patel   majority vote. Congress strongly opposed the bill.  Junior home minister Rajni Patel called the bill need of the hour. Congress said that the bill is the same as before and only nomenclature has been changed. 
The GUJCOC bill, which is on the lines of the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), was rejected in 2004 and 2008 by the then President AJP Abdul Kalam and Pratibha Patil respectively who had suggested some amendments in the provisions related to telephone interception and confession made before police officer being considered as evidence in court. After its passage for the third time in the state assembly, the bill is still pending for clearance from the President.
One such contentious provision is the admissibility of evidence collected through intercepted calls of the accused. This provision empowers the police to intercept calls and admit it as evidence in the court. Justifying the provision, the 'Statement of Objects and Reasons' in the bill states that it is necessary in the contemporary day where organised criminal syndicates make extensive use of wire and oral communication.
It says that the interception of such communication to obtain evidence is inevitable and an indispensable aid for the law enforcement. The statement provides a detailed justification on the issue by adding that the existing laws are inadequate to curb the menace of organised crimes. The Bill will be tabled for discussion and approval of the house on March 31, the last day of ongoing Budget session.
It further says, "It is therefore, considered necessary to enact a special law with stringent provisions, including the power to intercept wire, electronic or oral communication." As per the clause-14 of the bill, evidence collected through 'interception of wire, electronic or oral communication... shall be admissible as evidence against the accused in the court'. Former President APJ Abdul Kalam had in 2004 objected over the particular clause-14 and returned the bill to the government led by the then chief minister Narendra Modi, asking it to remove the clause.
Later in 2008, the bill was passed after deleting the clause related to interception of communication, as per the suggestion of Kalam. However, President former president pratibha patil rejected it and had suggested some more amendments. One of them was to eliminate the provision which allows confession made before a police officer, be admitted in the court as evidence.
However, ignoring the suggestion, the state government had once again passed the bill in 2009 for the third time and sent it for President's approval. The bill is still pending with the President. Now, the government has once again introduced the revised version, which will be tabled for discussion and approval of the house on March 31, the last day of ongoing Budget session.
In the new bill, the government has retained the provision related to confession made before a police officer. It is proposed that the officer should be of Superintendent of Police (SP) rank or above. As per the clause-16, "A confession made by a person before a police officer not below the rank of SP.. shall be admissible in the trial of such accused, co-accused, abettor or conspirator for an offence under the provisions of this Act."

Flood in kashmir

Seven months after witnessing the unprecedented floods, Jammu and Kashmir was again in the grip of panic on Monday as several areas of the valley and parts of Jammu were in deluge leading to death of 10 people, including a child, and fears over the fate of seven others.
Process to evacuate affected people was underway as eight teams of National Disaster Response Force were rushed to Kashmir. Armed forces, along with four helicopters, have been placed in readiness for deployment at short notice after local authorities declared a flood situation in the valley.
Promising all help, the central government granted Rs 200 crore as immediate relief as Prime Minister Narendra Modi rushed minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi to Kashmir for an on-the-spot assessment of the situation and coordinate with state authorities with regard to the requirements.
While making the announcement about Centre's grant, Chief Minister Mufti Sayeed said in the Assembly that the state government has sanctioned Rs 25 crore for Kashmir and Rs 10 crore for Jammu region which also has been affected by flood.
The police said nine people have died while seven others are believed to be trapped under the debris after a landslide brought down four houses in central Kashmir's Budgam district.
The deceased include four women, four men and a child, a police official said, adding efforts are on to identify them. Search is going on for seven others believed to be trapped in the debris of the fallen houses.
Sayeed said there was an ‘unfortunate’ death in Udhampur and there have been some flash floods in Jammu as well.
Due to heavy rains over the past 36 hours, river Jhelum was flowing above the danger mark at several places including Sangam in Anantnag district and Ram Munshi Bagh in the city.

Yogendra yadav and Prashant Bhushan expelled out from paty's National Executive

In its preparation for the final assault on senior party leaders Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan, the Aam Aadmi Party’s top leadership has launched a covert ‘signature drive’ asking its 67 MLAs to sign ‘voluntarily’ on a two-page letter addressed to ‘KEJRIWAL, National Convener, Aam Aadmi Party’, seeking the duo’s removal.

The two-page letter drafted in Hindi mentions the charges against the two, which include ‘anti-party activities’, ‘making adverse statements in the media’, ‘conspiracy to tarnish the image of  and remove him’ among others.
The party leadership has reportedly asked the MLAs to put their signatures on a “blank sheet” attached to the said letter. The source of the letter, however, is not the MLAs. There is a visible discontent among the Delhi Secretariat staff due to "a few new appointments" made by the AAP leadership of people who are not government servants, but are associated with the party. "The meeting of MLAs was held on Monday afternoon, where the letter was given to them," a Secretariat source said.
Firstpost spoke to four AAP MLAs, who on condition of anonymity, claimed that they were being compelled by the senior leaders to sign the two-page letter intended to build a consensus on the removal Bhushan and Yadav from the party.
“It’s a major problem of personalities. More than Yogendra ji, it’s Prashant Bhushan who made several statements during Delhi election – most of it has appeared in the media. Probably, due to this, the party has decided to expel both of them. The party leadership feels that despite getting such a huge mandate, this kind of anti-party behaviour would tarnish the image of AAP both in Delhi and outside. It’ll also impact AAP prospect in Punjab and Bihar polls,” another MLA remarked.
However, the MLAs strongly feel that the NE has no locus standi to issue an expulsion order, as “its members were not elected but appointed."

MS dhoni after the loss said :

Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Thursday defended an under-fire Virat Kohli for his indiscreet shot selection in the lost semi-final clash against Australia in the ICC Cricket World Cup in Sydney on Thursday.
Chasing an imposing 329 for a win, India were bundled out for 233 in 46.5 overs with Dhoni top-scoring with a run-a-ball 65 as the batting was guilty of buckling under pressure, including Kohli.
Asked if Kohli's shot selection was reflective of the pressure on him, Dhoni batted strongly for his deputy.
"Pehli baat yeh hai ki til ka taad nahin banate hain (Let's not make a mountain out of a mole hill). Let's accept the fact that he played a shot that didn't pay off. It happens and it happens to a lot of batsmen," Dhoni said in the post-match conference.
"Once the opposition puts over 300 runs on the board and once they have quality bowlers, at some point of time you have to take that risk. If it pays off, if it clicks, all of a sudden everything changes. He played a shot, it didn't pay off and that's it. I would say it happens in cricket," he added.
The skipper did admit that there were a few niggles as far as bowlers were concerned but at the same time said that it wasn't anything alarming.
"About fitness, a few of them (bowlers) had a few niggles, but the whole unit was 100 per cent fit. Fast bowlers had a bit of niggle, but nothing that really stops them from playing, so there were no fitness issues as such."
Asked as to when did he think that the chase was becoming difficult and probably they weren't going to win it, the wicketkeeper-batsman answered, "I think after the fall of third wicket, I somehow sensed that it would be difficult from here on."
spinner doesn't played their role well.
"Yes, there was pressure, but at the same time it needed some good batting and good partnership, so it was a gettable score, but it needed some really hard work to get the runs on the board," the skipper said.

Germany plane crashed in Alps of france

10.28 German president Joachim Gauck has travelled to the small western town of Haltern to take part in a ceremony to commemorate the 16 children and two teachers from a local school who died in the Germanwings crash in the French Alps, reports Rory Mulholland.
The teenagers from the Jakob-König-Gymnasium school had been returning from a a Spanish exchange programme when they met their deaths.
The school's director on Thursday reacted furiously to the news that the disaster was caused deliberately by the plane's co-pilot.
"It makes us furious, it makes us sad, it leaves us stunned," said Ulrich Wessel.
09.58 France's main pilots' union, SNPL, is to file a legal complaint against "persons unknown" for "breaching professional secrecy" by leaking details of the black box recording before investigators revealed their contents, reports Henry Samuel.
The New York Times revealed early Wednesday that one of the pilots had been locked out and could be heard banging on the door to get back in.
SNPL president Eric Derivry said: "We are particularly shocked that the BEA (air investigation bureau) held a press conference at 5pm saying 'we have nothing to say' and then a few hours later the New York Times gives extremely detailed information that were confirmed by the prosecutor the next day."
"Contrary to all confidentiality commitments on all those involved in the inquiry, there were leaks," he said.
09.55 Germanwings is currently setting up a family assistance centre in Marseille. Germanwing and Lufthansa brought families and friends of the victims to Marseille with three special flights from Düsseldorf and Barcelona yesterday and an additional flight from Barcelona is scheduled for today.
“Our focus in these darkest hours is to provide psychological assistance to the families and friends of the victims of flight 4U9525,” said Thomas Winkelmann, spokesman for the Germanwings Executive Board.
“The suffering and pain this catastrophe has caused is immeasurable. No words can express it and no amount of consolation is sufficient but we want to be there for visiting family members and friends if our support is desired.”
09.18 France's prime minister has called on German airline Lufthansa to provide all information about the Germanwings co-pilot who investigators believe intentionally slammed a plane into a French mountainside, killing all 150 people aboard.
Prime Minister Manuel Valls called on Lufthansa to give all possible information "so that we can understand why this pilot got to the point of this horrific" action.
In an interview with French network iTele, Mr Valls said: "On principle, no line of inquiry can be ruled out. We must wait for the end of the inquiry. Justice owes the truth to the victims' families and loved ones, even if yesterday the prosecutor provided enough details to lead us to believe this was a mad, inexplicable, horrible act that was behind the crash.

Two bomb blasts have killed at least 14 people near two churches in a Christian neighbourhood of the Pakistani city of Lahore, local officials say.
More than 70 people were hurt in the explosions, which targeted worshippers attending Sunday mass at the churches in the Youhanabad area.
Violent protests erupted after the blasts, with a mob killing two men accused of involvement in the attacks.
Pakistan's Christian community has often been targeted by militants.
An offshoot of the Pakistan Taliban, calling itself Jamatul Ahrar, has said it carried out the attack.
Witnesses say suicide bombers were responsible for the explosions but police have not confirmed this.
The bombers are said to have detonated their explosives near the gates of St John's Catholic Church and Christ Church .
A large crowd gathered at the scene of the blasts, protesting about the lack of security.
The crowd also attacked two men it accused of involvement in the explosions, killing both of them. Photographs from the scene showed a crowd setting the men's bodies alight.
Protesters carrying sticks blocked Lahore's Ferozepur Road. Local television pictures showed a bus station being attacked.
'Scuffle at church gate'
Amir Masih, a witness quoted by Reuters news agency, said he had heard an explosion near one of the churches.
"I rushed towards the spot and saw the security guard scuffle with a man who was trying to enter the church," he said.
The man blew himself up after failing to enter the church, Mr Masih told Reuters.
