Vulgar show: Before bashing Pakistani players, discipline Indian spectators Read more at: http://www.oneindia.com/sports/vgulgar-show-at-hockey-match-before-bashing-pak-players-discipline-indian-spectators-1592413.html

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div> he indecency displayed by the Pakistani hockey players after they beat arch-rivals India in the semi-final of Champions Trophy in Bhubaneswar last Saturday has created a storm in the sporting world and the media. [Pakistan beat India in Champions Trophy, celebrate with obscene gestures] The incident turned more ugly since it involved the sentiments of two fierce competitors but is it always right to blame the players for their deeds which are caught more easily by the camera's glare?<br /><img alt="Discipline Indian sports fans first" hspace="5" src="http://www.oneindia.com/img/2014/12/15-1418629587-pak-players.jpg" style="border: 0px;" title="Discipline Indian sports fans first" vspace="5" /><br /><div> Former editor of The Hindu Siddharth Varadrajan was criticised when he said in a tweet that more than the Pakistani players, it was the unruly Indian crowd which was responsible for provoking them first and led to the retaliation from the visitors. But bashing Varadrajan doesn't change the character of India's sports spectators. Even a sloth Inzamamul-Haq couldn't control his temper in Toronto In September 1997, former Pakistani cricket captain Inzamam-ul-Haq, who is otherwise a cool-headed person, charged at a spectator in the stands with a bat in his hand, not meant for soring runs for sure. Inzamam would have surely broken the head of the man, who was armed with a megaphone and was hurling abuses at players including the Pakistani batsman, if other spectators and security staff members did not intervene on time. In 1996, unruly spectators ruined WC semifinal match; in 1999, India & Pakistan played before empty stands Targetting players from the stands is not something new in India. We saw how the semifinal of the 1996 World Cup cricket at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata ended on an ugly note as spectators turned violent after India were left in a hapless state against Sri Lanka. Players in the middle are held more responsible because the camera follows them The same venue had seen India and Pakistan playing out the final day of a test match in 1999 in front of empty stands after the police drove out spectators who turned angry following a controversial run-out of Sachin Tendulkar. There are several such instances where foreign players have been targetted, abused and even hit from the stands by over-nationalist spectators but since the camera focuses more on the players in the Centre, it is their reaction that takes the precedence often. One suspects the same had happened with the Pakistani team as well. <br /><br /> </div> </div> </div>

Union Minister Uma Bharti pledges to clean Ganga in 3 years

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div> <img alt="Uma Bharti to clean Ganga in 3 years" hspace="5" src="http://1-ps.googleusercontent.com/hk/5J4Zhwgx-iWgLvjtO77Qnh22Kl/www.oneindia.com/img/2014/12/x15-1418628164-uma-bharti2.jpg.pagespeed.ic.JAigylVplV51OjGAVl8a.jpg" style="border: 0px none;" title="Uma Bharti to clean Ganga in 3 years" vspace="5" />New Delhi, Dec 15: Union Minister Uma Bharti's pledge to clean the Ganga and the Sangam in three years depends highly on the state governments' reaction to the same. Although she said that the Center was committed to the clean-up process, she also voiced a dismay at the extent of pollution after inspecting the river at Allahabad. Bharti said,"We are committed to cleaning up the Ganga in the next three years. Since a major part of the holy river's trajectory runs through UP, the help and cooperation of the state government will be obviously required. We are looking forward to a meeting with the UP government scheduled for December 20." Uma Bharti to clean Ganga in 3 years Taking stock of the quality of water that Allahabad is receiving at the Sangam, the Union Minister said,"the reddish water gives an impression that Gangajal is not reaching Allahabad at all. The people are getting only effluents discharged upstream". She further added,"We are looking forward to make a visible difference in three years. We have a comprehensive three-step plan to clean up the Ganga". Earlier this year, Bharti's ministry had submitted an affidavit with a three-phased plan of action comprising "short term - a period of three years, medium term - a period of next five years and long term - a period of next ten years and more". For the first phase, the affidavit has identified that "118 towns have been tentatively identified for necessary interventions to achieve total sanitation targets including water waste treatment and solid waste management". The ministry has also listed seven river front locations" which included the holy cities of Haridwar and Allahabad, and ancient temple town of Varanasi.
