Kolkata police is gearing up to implement

The Kolkata police is gearing up to implement a ban imposed by the Calcutta High Court on over 15-year-old commercial and transport vehicles from Saturday in the metropolis. The Supreme Court on Friday refused to grant an interim stay on the High Court order. "We will implement the order of the honourable High Court and not allow any 15-year-old commercial vehicle to ply in the city," Kolkata Police Deputy Commissioner in charge of headquarter Jawed Shamim told PTI in Kolkata. Bengal Bus Syndicate president Swarnakamal Saha said his association, which controls over 60 per cent of private buses in the city, would not run 15-year-old buses as per the court order. "Only those buses which are less than this age would be plying from today," he said. Earlier, some of the leaders of the bus owner associations had taken a defiant stand and said that buses less than 15-year-old would also not ply if older buses were seized from today.

Pakistani media alleging India's involvement

In reply to reports coming in Pakistani media alleging India's involvement in Balochistan, government sources have told a national TV news channel that such reports are absolutely false and misleading. On Wednesday, Pakistan's Dawn newspaper had published a report claiming that a dossier was handed over to India when Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt during NAM summit. The alleged dossier reportedly gave details of the involvement of RAW in Balochistan and hinting at a RAW hand in the attack on Sri Lankan cricketers in March, 2009.

Indian army colonel and his driver were killed

An Indian army colonel and his driver were killed in a powerful landmine explosion in India's north-eastern state of Assam, officials said.

The army vehicle hit the landmine near the Balipara reserve forest in Sonitpur district, about 200km (124 miles) from Guwahati, a defence spokesman said. The area has been cordoned off and a search operation has been launched. Police have blamed the outlawed National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) for the attack. The NDFB is among a number of separatist groups fighting for an independent homeland for various ethnic minority groups in Assam.
"The explosion tore through the jeep savagely. The colonel and his driver died on the spot," a defence ministry spokesman in Calcutta told the BBC. Other vehicles in the convoy were safe as they stopped immediately after the blast, he said. The explosion occurred when the colonel was on his way to his base at Tenga valley in the neighbouring state of Arunachal Pradesh, bordering China.
