Suspended IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt gets bail

Suspended IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt, arrested for allegedly fabricating evidence to implicate Narendra Modi in the Gujarat riots, was granted bail by a local court at Ahmedabad on Monday, 17 days after he was sent to jail.

Session Judge V K Vyas granted bail on the condition that Bhatt would cooperate with the investigation and would remain present when called for.

Bhatt was in jail after being arrested on 30 September in connection with an FIR filed against him by a police constable K D Pant for allegedly threatening him and making him sign a false affidavit with regards to the IPS officer’s presence in the February 27, 2002 meeting called by the chief minister after the Godhra train burning incident. Bhatt had moved bail application on 3 October, which was opposed by the state government. (PTI)

US troops massed on Pak border near Waziristan: Reports

The US has moved hundreds of new troops to the Afghan area bordering Pakistan’s insurgent-infested North Waziristan tribal region along with heavy artillery, helicopter gunships and sealed movement on the border, local media reports at Islamabad said.

US forces deployed to new positions in the border areas facing Ghulam Khan in Pakistan between Saturday and Sunday night.

The troops occupied nearby vantage heights on hilltops, setting up observation posts, The News International said quoting Pakistani security officials and tribal elders.

Geo television reported that tribesmen living in the border areas said Afghan and US authorities had clamped a curfew in parts of Afghanistan’s eastern Khost province and started house-to-house search.

The villagers in Ghulam Khan said Nato warplanes were also seen flying over the border region several times during the day. (PTI)

“The biggest challenge is moving from resource-driven growth dependent on cheap labour and resources, to growth based on high productivity and innovation," Haruhiko Kuroda said at a conference in New Delhi.

Last month, World Bank President Robert Zoellick warned China could fall into the “middle-income trap," where national productivity and income growth stall after per capita income hits $3,000 to $6,000. (Reuters)

US President Barack Obama embarks on a campaign-style bus tour on Monday to rally support for his stalled jobs package

Hitting the road for the next three days, Obama heads to North Carolina and Virginia, both vital to his 2012 re-election chances, with an increasingly populist approach aimed at winning passage of at least parts of his $447 billion jobs plan.
