Lalgarh, 23 April : An influential tribal body in West Bengal's troubled Lalgarh block on Thursday urged people to vote against the ruling Communist Party of India (Marxist) in the Lok Sabha polls.Spelling out the stand of the tribal body Peoples' Committee Against Police Atrocities (PCAPA), its leader Chhattadhar Mahato said people could support any party other than the CPI(M). Lalgarh is a Maoist insurgency affected area in West Midnapore district. "We wanted a common opposition nominee in our constituency. But since there are several such candidates, people are free to vote in favour of any of them. But we shall not vote for the CPI(M)," Mahato said here.
Angry over alleged police excesses in the past, tribal leaders in the Lalgarh area, which has around 40,000 voters and falls under Jhargram constituency, had earlier said they would not allow the police to enter the area to enable polling 30 April.

Andaman : Identity proof must for boarding vessel
UNI, Port Blair, 23 April : The shipping department of Andaman has initiated action for verification of documentary proof of passengers while embarkation and disembarkation, the objective of which is to curb black-marketing of ship tickets.
The Directorate of Shipping Services has appealed to the passengers to purchase tickets only in their name and carry documentary proof while traveling and produce it on demand.
Bimal Roy, a leader of Neil Island, described it as a welcome step. ‘We have been demanding for such steps since last several years. Tour operators take away ship tickets in bulk in fake names and we are made to suffer.’ ‘Initially during such checks, the passengers who traveled with tickets in false names were not allowed to board the vessel and their tickets seized, but subsequently, the department made sure that not only the tickets are seized but also cases of impersonation are filed and these are dealt severely as per the provisions of law,’ an official release of Shipping Services said.

www.fakeiplplayer.blogspot.com : Knight Riders hit by mental Blog
Cape Town, 22 April : Shah Rukh Khan has spent a lot of money building up PR for Kolkata Knight Riders. He’s hired the right firms, been out there in the public just about all the time; there’ve been parties, press conferences, cheerleaders, music and almost all the right kind of bytes given by the superstar himself.
Yet, he’s a troubled man. That’s not just because KKR got off to bad start or that relations between ex-captain Sourav Ganguly and coach John Buchanan continue to be strained. It’s mainly got to do with an unknown blogger - who claims to be a KKR team member - bent on letting the cat out of the bag all the time.
The blogger - calling himself Fake IPL Player - is sure he’ll never be a part of the playing XI. "But, there’s one thing I do very well. Serve drinks. And that’s what I am expecting do in South Africa," he writes.
Evidently, he’s doing much more. The day begins with posts on what KKR did at the breakfast table to what Khan had to say to his team, who listened, who smirked, what the coach did the whole day, how’s Ganguly coping with lost captaincy and of course, what the rest of the teams and their players have been up to.
