7.2 earthquake shakes northern Japan: USGS	19.4.2013	deccanherald.com
A major 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck off northern Japan today, seismologists said, but no tsunami warning was issued. The quake hit at 0305 GMT near the Russian-administered Kuril island chain, 1,490 kilometres north of Tokyo, the US Geological Survey said. It was located 122 km deep. The quake rocked towns in the northernmost Japanese prefecture of Hokkaido. "We have received no reports of damage so far," a spokesman at the Hokkaido police said, adding there were no reports of injuries. The epicentre is close to the four Southern Kuril islands that were seized by Soviet troops in the closing days of World War II but are claimed by Japan. The area is prone to earthquakes.

Karunanidhi asks: How would minister mislead prime minister?	19.4.2013	deccanherald.com
DMK president M. Karunanidhi Friday wondered how one could believe that a prime minister could be misled by his minister, referring to the draft report of the joint parliamentary committee (JPC) on the 2G spectrum allocation. Speaking to reporters here, Karunanidhi asked: "How could it be believed that a minister misled the prime minister?" The draft report of the JPC, circulated among the members Thursday, has blamed DMK's A. Raja, the former telecom minister, for the spectrum allocation while clearing Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Finance Minister P. Chidambaram. To a question on whether he would give any advice to Raja if he met him, Karunanidhi said: "I don't have to tell him anything that he does not know".

Bengaluru rues rapid growth as India's IT hub \| Mark Tran	17.4.2013	The Guardian -- World Latest
Technology boom has brought higher incomes but slums proliferate and services are squeezed in crowded 'garden city' • Urbanisation can be 'force for good' Bengaluru was a lovely city until the IT crowd ruined it, so goes the joke. "The reason the IT sector came to the city was its reputation as a great city to live in," a resident told me on a recent visit. "Of course, technology created jobs, but the city has grown so fast and become too crowded." With an estimated population of 8.5 million in 2011, Bengaluru is India's third most populous city. It was the fastest-growing Indian metropolis after Delhi between 1991 and 2001, with a growth rate of 38% during the decade. Bengaluru, known as the garden city for its public parks , is still growing. Luxury towers in mid-construction are sprouting, with billboards advertising helipads for aspirational – and wealthy – tenants. The traffic is hellish as three-wheeler auto-taxis, cars and buses compete for space amid a cacophony of ...

World Bank says to lend India up to $5 billion a year	12.4.2013	Deccan Herald - Business
The World Bank said on Thursday it would lend between $3 billion to $5 billion annually to India under a new four-year plan that focuses development projects on the country's poorest states. The World Bank said in a statement that 60 percent of the financing will go to government-backed development projects and half of this, or 30 percent, will go to the country's poorer states. Under the previous strategy, about 18 percent of lending went to these states. Earlier this month World Bank President Jim Yong Kim urged the international community to eradicate global poverty by 2030. He said the strategy for India would be the first by the bank to hone in on areas where developing financing would have the biggest impact on India's poorest. The Bank said the plan aims to cut poverty in India to 5.5 percent of the population by 2030 from an estimated 29.8 percent in 2010.
