TOKYO: The Bank of Japan's massive stimulus programme lowered real interest rates by slightly less than 1 percentage point, an estimate by the central bank showed on Friday.

"The actual improvement in economic activity and prices was mostly in line with the mechanism anticipated" by the quantitative and qualitative easing (QQE) programme, the BOJ said in a research note.

The BOJ compiled the estimates on the effect of its stimulus as two years have past since the launch of qqe which aims to accelerate inflation to 2 per cent by flooding markets with cash via aggressive asset purchases.

On Thursday, the BOJ rolled back the timeframe for reaching its 2 percent inflation target but refrained from expanding its stimulus programme, convinced a steady economic recovery will gradually nudge up prices.

Towns and villages near the epicentre of Saturday's earthquake in central Nepal have suffered "almost total devastation", the Red Cross says.

Assessment teams say they have found survivors in a "desperate situation".

Nepal says 6,204 people are known to have died in the 7.8-magnitude quake and 13,932 were injured.

But the fate of thousands more in many remote areas remains unknown and the government has warned that the death toll could rise to more than 10,000.

Although rescue teams from Nepal and the international community are operating in the capital Kathmandu and the surrounding area, landslides and poor weather have hampered efforts to reach isolated districts. Aid is beginning to arrive in some of the worst-affected areas In Kathmandu, hopes of rescuing more trapped survivors are fading and the focus turns to recovering bodies - such as that of 14-year-old Anita's father, who died in a collapsed building. The home ministry says that 20 helicopters carrying relief have landed in the districts of Sindhupalchok, Dolakha, Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading and Gorkha.

But correspondents say that there is a severe shortage of helicopters, and although China is expected to send more, Nepal has appealed to other countries for further aircraft.

On Thursday there was good news in the capital when a 15-year-old boy and a woman in her 20s were pulled from the wreckage of two collapsed buildings in Kathmandu.

But there has been growing anger at the government's response to the disaster, with a number of protests breaking out.

Media caption Large crowds cheered as a teenager emerged from the rubble, as Yogita Limaye report. The home ministry said on Friday that rescue and relief operations in Kathmandu would focus on devastated pockets of the city including the areas around the central bus terminal and around historic monuments - where there is a small chance people remain trapped in several collapsed tall buildings.

Searches will also be conducted for survivors around historic monuments in the ancient towns of Patan and Bhaktapur.

In a statement the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) said that Sindhupalchok, north-east of Kathmandu, stood out as one of the worst affected areas.

"One of our teams that returned from Chautara in Sindhupalchok district reported that 90% of the homes are destroyed," said Jagan Chapagain, head of IFRC's Asia Pacific division.

"The hospital has collapsed, and people are digging through the rubble with their hands in the hope that they might find family members who are still alive."

He added: "We can expect the situation to be the same if not worse in many other places where aid has not yet been delivered."

Up to 40,000 homes are believed to have been destroyed in Sindhupalchok, the IFRC said.

The World Health Organization estimated on Thursday that about 1,400 people had been killed there.

Shortages of food and water in the capital have forced thousands of workers to board buses and flee to their home towns and villages.

A lack of buses and the slow distribution of aid have led to clashes between protesters and riot police.

Aid officials say that in the months ahead Nepal faces challenges on numerous fronts in addition to the relief effort, including the reconstruction of collapsed latrines and the removal of the bodies of dead animals.

The UN has also warned of the challenges facing Nepal's farming community, which comprises up to two-thirds of the country's 27 million people.

It says that the quake destroyed seed stocks for the mid-May rice sowing season, as well as grains kept dry in stone storage huts that have now been razed to the ground.

If farmers miss this month's planting season, they will be unable to harvest rice - Nepal's staple food - until late 2016, the UN says.

M.K.PachraiyaOriginal_app_mssg(1) Land ActNew Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear a petition moved by a group of NGOs working for farmers challenging the constitutional validity of government s action to re-promulgate the land acquisition ordinance.

According to reports, the apex court is likely to take up the matter on Monday.

The PIL was filed by Delhi Grameen Samaj, Bharatiya Kisan Union, Grameen Sewa Samiti and another NGO alleging that re-promulgation of the ordinance amounted to executive entering the impermissible domain of enacting legislation.

The NGOs told the court that the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Ordinance was first promulgated in December last year.

As a Parliament Session followed, the NDA government should have introduced a bill on the line of the ordinance to amend the land acquisition Act, 2013.

Instead of following the constitutionally dictated procedure, the government decided not to introduce amendment to Land acquisition Act in Parliament when it was in session and immediately after the session repromulgated the ordinance, the PIL said.

This amounted to government violating the constitutional procedures for ordinance promulgation rendering the executive decision unconstitutional.- With PTI inputs

Original_app_mssg(1)Sriharikota: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is all set to launch India's fourth navigation satellite—the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS)-1D today.

59.5 hours countdown for the launch began on Friday and is progressing smoothly. ISRO will place the 1,425 kg IRNSS-1D satellite in the orbit with its workhorse launching vehicle PSLV C-27. The launch is scheduled at 5.19 pm from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota.

Earlier, ISRO chairman AS Kiran Kumar was quoted as saying that the launch of the satellite would help a person on the ground locate his geographical position in the Indian region.

"Once four satellites are up in space, using a receiver on ground you can independently locate yourself, you can determine your position in terms of latitude longitude and height. So this will give us independent geographic positioning system in the country," he had said.

The launch was originally scheduled for March 9, 2015, but was later deferred due to an anomaly found in the telemetry transmitter.

According to reports, IRNSS-1D is the fourth in series of seven satellites, planned by ISRO to put in place the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System. The first three satellites in the IRNSS series were launched from Sriharikota on July 1, 2013, April 4, 2014 and October 16, 2014 respectively.

The Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Delhi government provided a big relief to the city traders by allowing them to carry forward input tax credit to next financial year and extending the last date of submission of R-9 forms for last three years, up to June 30.

The government’s move comes with an aim to simplify business for the traders in the national capital, an official release said today.

As per the existing provisions, a trader can carry forward the excess tax credit during the same year only. The traders perceive that this restriction curtails their freedom to carry forward the excess tax paid.

Also, due to this restriction many wholesalers would not be able to sell the excess stock to retailers towards the end of the financial year as retailers would not be eligible to carry forward the tax credit to next financial year, the release said.

As per the announcement, now the Finance department has proposed to allow traders to carry forward the excess tax credit to next year to adjust the output tax liability in the next tax period, the official said, adding that to implement this, a note will be tabled in the next cabinet meeting.

The due date for submitting the R9 form has been extended to June 30 from existing March 31, beginning from the financial year 2011-12.

The traders will now be free to submit the said forms, from financial years 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14 by June 30, the release added.

 

Original_app_mssg(2) Delhi GangrapeThe government asked YouTube to remove all links to a banned documentary on the 2012 Delhi gang rape on Thursday and served a legal notice to the BBC for broadcasting the film, setting the stage for a showdown with the British media giant.

Tihar jail director general Alok Verma issued the notice to BBC hours before it telecast Leslee Udwin’s India’s Daughter, saying that by airing it, the broadcaster had become liable for legal action.

“No final approval was taken by the BBC for commercial use of the documentary and we are waiting for a response,” a home ministry official said.

The five-page legal notice said Udwin had agreed to not use the film for commercial purposes but sold the rights to the BBC, for which she took no approval from Tihar jail authorities, the official said.

“We see a design here. Udwin left the country before the BBC announced it was bringing forward the broadcast in UK,” added the official.

The ban, however, seemed to have failed with a video of the movie going viral. A communication ministry official said YouTube and its owner, Google, had withdrawn the movie late evening after being asked to do so but several such videos remained available on the website. One raked up over 100,000 views in less than 12 hours.

“Please note that the BBC was never due to broadcast the film in India,  we were only ever due to show the documentary in the UK, which is what we have done,” a BBC spokesperson told HT in London.

“The BBC has only broadcast the documentary and made it available in the UK. We have not uploaded it to YouTube. The independent production company that made the film is currently taking steps to remove illegal uploads,” the broadcaster also said in a statement.

The Centre, meanwhile, scrambled through the day to block circulation of the videos on social media but the uploads — of the 60-minute documentary and shorter excerpts — could still be accessed, even inside the home ministry till late Thursday. A Delhi court had upheld a ban on the film a day before.

Besides YouTube, the videos are available on peer-to-peer torrent networks, virtually impossible for the government to crack down on.

A Google spokeswoman said the firm continued to remove content that was illegal or violated community guidelines, once notified.

“We have been asked by the court to block websites that show the documentary and we have asked all sites not to broadcast it,” said Gulshan Rai, a senior official in the department of electronics and information technology.

Earlier in the day, an upset home minister Rajnath Singh said the BBC should not have telecast the documentary — in which Mukesh Singh, a convict in the gang rape case, blames the victim in an interview to the filmmaker conducted in Tihar jail.

“We requested BBC not to telecast the documentary but it went ahead. If conditions have been violated, there will be appropriate action,” he said.

The BBC brought forward the date of telecast to 3.30 am (IST) Thursday from the original date of March 8.

“We do not feel the film could ever be construed as derogatory to women or an affront to their dignity,” said BBC Television director Danny Cohen. The broadcaster repeated that it had no plans to telecast the film in India.

The government’s strong response also raised eyebrows with a senior IPS official saying Delhi Police went overboard by registering an FIR. The ban was also criticised by the Congress, saying it was disappointed at the slowness of the government’s response.

Govt banned documentary anticipating rerun of 2012 protests

The government went overboard to ban the telecast of the BBC documentary ‘India’s Daughter’ due to fears of triggering street protests similar to those witnessed after the brutal gangrape of December 2012.

“In case the interview is telecasted (sic), it may lead to widespread public outcry and serious law and order problems as happened in the aftermath of the gangrape case,” Delhi Police — that works under the home ministry — told a Delhi Court on Tuesday.

The Delhi Police had asked for directions to the information and broadcasting ministry and the IT ministry to prohibit the telecast of the documentary on television and the Internet.

The cyber crime cell conceded in its application that it had not seen the documentary but was moving court on the basis of excerpts of the interview that had been published.

Inspector Parveen Kumar went to the extent to argue that the highly offensive excerpts “had already created a situation of tension and fear amongst women in society”.
