No comfy office, this IIM-B graduate is an 'aam' admi

Ashutosh Sawant

(TOI)
BANGALORE. He will pass out of one of the most sought-after B-schools of the country. While 332 of his friends will get into those cushy jobs, he will work closer to Mother earth — working with farmers and help them produce export-quality fruits and vegetables and finally export them.
Ashutosh Sawant, a PGP second year student, has started a firm which looks at exporting frozen fruits like alphonso mangoes, frozen strawberry, pomegranate arils, frozen vegetables and cauliflower florets.
"The main reason why our products could not be exported was because we used farming methods that were unacceptable in other countries — like using banned pesticides. I will work closely with farmers, help them with best practices and finally export the produce," Ashutosh said.
Ashutosh has already started his pilot projects. Back at his hometown in Kadegoan, Karad taluk, Maharashtra, he has entered into a contract with the owner of a 150-acre mango grove. "I helped the farmers with the technical knowhow like dip irrigation and use of chemicals. They do not have access to such knowledge. I consulted with the Central Food Technological Research Institute. The first produce is almost ready," he said.
The total value addition to fruits and vegetables in India is less — around 4% — compared to global standards of 45%-50%, he points out. "I have seen my uncle sell pomegranates for Rs 8 a kilo when I buy for Rs 60 here in Bangalore. We produce 80% of world's pomegranates and export just 2%. Lots of them are being wasted, this provides an opportunity to process them," he says.
Once the produce is there, he will look at marketing it to retail chains in other continents. The processing involves cleaning them from chemicals, cutting them according to the specifications of the client and packing in refrigerated containers.

Black money trail: Hasan Ali detained, taken to ED for interrogation

Hasan Ali Khan

(TOI)
PUNE. Hasan Ali Khan, the Pune stud farm owner facing charges of huge money laundering and tax evasion, was taken into custody by the Enforcement Directorate after a day-long search of his premises by its officials today.
About a dozen ED officials from Mumbai came down to Pune to search Khan premises in posh Koregaon Park area, a little distance away from the landmark German Bakery. Khan was picked up in the afternoon and driven away, presumably to Mumbai, for interrogation.
There was no official word from the ED and media persons waiting outside Khan's residence were not briefed about the operations.
Clad in white kurta and wearing sunglasses, Khan was seen inside a black Mercedes that left the Tulip bungalow located in Valentine Residential Society escorted by ED sleuths in two cars.
Khan's detention came a day before the Supreme Court's March 8 deadline to the government to inform it how it proposed to tackle black money hoarders.
The apex court while blasting the Centre last Thursday for not having the "will power" to act against black money hoarders asked why Khan and others were not subjected to custodial interrogation despite the probe agencies possessing sufficient material against them.
Meanwhile, his lawyer R K Gaur said Khan has not been detained and that he was being taken to the ED's office as part of a "routine investigation".
"Hasan Ali Khan has not been detained till now. He has been taken to the investigative agency's office. This is a routine investigation. It happens in all cases. The ED searched his premises and now has taken him to its office," he Gaur said.
Asked if there was any link between Supreme Court's remarks about the government's failure to ensure Khan's custodial interrogation and his detention, Gaur said, "SC has not directed anything. There must have been some remarks but no direction."
Gaur said Khan had not stashed any money in the Swiss banks. "There is no black money lying anywhere. Yes, there is an allegation. Everything has been accounted for. There is no such amount (USD 8 billion) lying in UBS and UBS has also said they have no relationship (with Khan)," he said.
About the Rs 40,000 crore penalty that the Income Tax authorities plan to recover from Khan for tax evasion, he said, there was no evidence of him having stashed away such huge amounts to warrant the penalty.

CWG overlays scam: CBI arrests MD of Indo-Swiss firm

(TOI)
NEW DELHI. The CBI today arrested the managing director of an Indo-Swiss supplier firm while Enforcement Directorate (ED) intensified its probe into alleged irregularities in the award of contracts worth over Rs 600 crore for Commonwealth Games overlays.
Sandeep Wadhwa, MD of Comfort Net which is a part of the Switzerland-based Nussli India consortium, was arrested by the CBI in connection with the scam, sources said.
The ED, meanwhile, has claimed to have tracked money trail in the overlays scam and filed a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, official sources said.
The CBI action on Wadhwa came after the agency claimed to have got some evidence against Nussli India which was given contract of nearly Rs 140 crore for supplying tents, portable cabins, containers and other items for six venues.
The company signed a memorandum of understanding with a Canadian firm's Indian unit to supply steel-based modular fittings for Commonwealth Games venues, they said.
The CBI had earlier accused former Director General V K Verma and other officials of Organising Committee of entering into a criminal conspiracy with Binu Nanu in awarding contracts for overlays for different venues of Commonwealth Games at exorbitant rates.
The agency has alleged that public servants abused their official position, cheated and caused undue losses to the Government and corresponding gain to four companies and themselves. One of the companies made accused by the CBI was Nussli-India consortium.
The total value of the overlays contracts that are under the scanner is over Rs 600 crore.
Earlier this year, the CBI has carried out detailed searches on the official and residential premises of all four companies which were alleged beneficiaries of overlays contract given for the Commonwealth Games.
Besides Wadhwa, searches were conducted at the premises of Binu Nanu and Roopana Binu, Director GL Events and Meroform India Sebastin Brunet, Director, G L Events and Vinay Mittal, Director, Deepali Designs and Exhibits.
Deepali Designs bagged contract worth Rs 230 crore, D Art Furniture Systems-ESG Arena of UK were given contracts for providing overlays for over Rs 90 crore, Nussli India got a contract for over Rs 140 crore and Meroform-GL services had bagged a contract worth Rs 165 crore, official sources said.
The CBI had earlier arrested Additional Director General of CWG Organising Committee K U K Reddy and supplier Praveen Bakshi, close aide of former OC Chairman Suresh Kalmadi Deorukhkar Shekhar and Binu Nanu in connection with overlays scam.

China has five airbases, extensive rail-road networks in Tibet: Antony

(TOI)
NEW DELHI. Apart from nuclear missile bases in Qinghai province which clearly target India, China has built five fully-operational airbases, an extensive rail network and over 58,000 km of roads in Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR).
People's Liberation Army is also rapidly upgrading several other airstrips in TAR as well as south China, to add to the five airbases from where Chinese Sukhoi-27UBK and Sukhoi-30MKK fighters have practised operations in recent times.
Moreover, with extensive road-rail links in TAR, PLA can amass upwards of two divisions (30,000 soldiers) at their "launch pads'' along the border in just 20 days now compared to the over 90 days it took earlier.
All this is not strikingly new but, soon after Beijing hiked its annual military budget to $91.5 billion, mounting concern over China's massive build-up of military infrastructure was reflected in Lok Sabha on Monday.
Cutting across party lines, 19 MPs came together to quiz defence minister A K Antony on whether the UPA government was taking "cognizance'' of the "increased Chinese military activities'' along the 4,057-km LAC.
Antony, in a written reply, said "necessary steps'' were being taken in consonance with India's national security concerns. "Military capacity enhancement and modernisation of armed forces is a dynamic process, which takes into account the cumulative challenges envisaged by the nation,'' he said.
"The total road network in TAR is assessed at 58,000 km in 2010. Extension of Qinghai Tibet Railway to Xigaze is in progress. Another railway line from Kashgar to Hotan in Xinjiang Uighur Autonmous Region is under construction,'' he said, adding the five TAR airfields were Gongar, Pangta, Linchi, Hoping and Gar Gunsa.
India is now, albeit belatedly, trying to strategically counter China. Just last week, for instance, saw two new Sukhoi-30MKIs touch down at Chabua airbase in Assam, the second airbase in North-East after Tezpur to house the multi-role fighters. Both airbases will have two Sukhoi squadrons (each has 16 to 18 jets) each.
The Army, on its part, has raised two new mountain infantry divisions, with 1,260 officers and 35,011 soldiers. While the 56 Division has its HQ in Zakama (Nagaland) under the Dimapur-based 3 Corps, the 71 Division at Missamari (Assam) falls in the operational command of the Tezpur-based 4 Corps.
IAF is also upgrading eastern sector ALGs (advanced landing grounds) like Pasighat, Mechuka, Walong, Tuting, Ziro and Vijaynagar as well as several helipads in Arunachal. This comes after the reactivation of western sector ALGs like Daulat Beg Oldi, Fukche and Nyama in eastern Ladakh.

Attempt to suicide must be decriminalized: Supreme Court

(TOI)
NEW DELHI. The Supreme Court on Monday observed that time has come to decriminalize attempt to suicide by erasing the punishment provided in Indian Penal Code and asked Parliament to examine it.
"We are of the opinion that although Section 309 of IPC (attempt to suicide) has been held to be constitutionally valid in Gian Kaur's case by Supreme Court, the time has come when it should be deleted by Parliament as it has become anachronistic," said a bench of Justices Markandey Katju and Gyan Sudha Misra while delaying with the issues relating to euthanasia. "A person attempts to suicide in a depression, and hence he needs help, rather than punishment. We therefore recommend to Parliament to consider the feasibility of deleting Section 309 from the Indian Penal Code," said Justice Katju while writing the judgment for the bench.
The Law Commission in its 210th report to the government on October 17, 2008, had differed with its earlier 156th report in 1997 subscribing the retention of attempt to suicide as a penal offence. In its 210th report, the commission had recommended to the government to "initiate steps for repeal of the anachronistic law contained in section 309 of IPC, which would relieve the distressed of his suffering."
The bench referred to a Constitution bench judgment in Gian Kaur Vs State of Punjab [1996 (2) SCC 648], which held that both euthanasia and assisted suicide were not lawful.
The bench had ruled that right to life under Article 21 did not include right to die. It also said that euthanasia could be made lawful only by legislation.
Justice Katju said as SC in Gian kaur's case had conceded "the debate even in such cases to permit physician assisted termination of life is inconclusive", no final view on euthanasia was taken. It laid down the law and procedure on passive euthanasia. The law panel's 196th report to the government on April 28, 2006, had comprehensively dealt with the issue in a 435-page volume which included a draft bill. The recommendation was identical to what the SC ruling on Monday.
The panel, headed by retired SC judge M Jagannadha Rao, had said: "We have thought it fit to provide an enabling provision under which patients, relatives, next friend or doctors or hospitals can move a division bench of HC for a declaration that proposed action of continuing or withholding or withdrawing medical treatment be declared lawful or unlawful."

Aruna lives, but others can die with dignity

(TOI)
NEW DELHI. Euthanasia or mercy killing in its passive form has taken legal root in India. The Supreme Court on Monday broke new ground with a judgment sanctioning passive euthanasia -- or withdrawal of life-support systems -- on patients who are brain dead or in a permanent vegetative state, and whom doctors have lost hope of reviving even with the most advanced medical aid.
The court, however, clarified that active euthanasia, involving injecting a potent drug to advance the death of such a patient, was a crime under law and would continue to remain so.
A Supreme Court bench, comprising Justices Markandey Katju and Gyan Sudha Misra, laid down the guidelines for the concerned high courts alone to give a final go-ahead for passive euthanasia, involving withdrawal of life sustaining drugs and/or life support system, in a brain dead or PVS patient, after bona fide consent from the patient's relatives and the doctor's opinion.
The court devised this rather long-winding procedure, while pointing out that it would have to hold good until Parliament enacts a law on this issue, since it was wary of passive euthanasia being misused by unscrupulous relatives to grab the property of the terminally ill.
While laying down the guidelines, the two-judge bench rejected the euthanasia plea for Aruna Shanbaug who is in a permanent vegetative state for the last 37 years after a brutal sexual assault in 1973. It said the high courts must take the help of expert doctors before deciding on passive euthanasia pleas.
The court said an expert panel, comprising a neurologist, psychiatrist and a physician, would examine the patient and give a report. The HC would issue notice to concerned parties and give an expeditious judgment since delay could aggravate the mental agony of the relatives, the bench said.
Agreeing with a 1993 UK decision in the Airedale case, the bench said: "While giving great weight to the wishes of the parents, spouses, or other close relatives or next friend of the patient and also giving due weight to the opinion of the attending doctors, we cannot leave it entirely to their discretion whether to discontinue the life support or not."
"We make it clear that it is experts like medical practitioners who can decide whether there is any reasonable possibility of a new medical discovery which would enable such a patient to revive in the near future it," it added.
"We agree that the approval of the high court should be taken in this connection. This is in the interest of the protection of the patient, protection of the doctors, relatives and next friend, and for reassurance of the patient's family as well as the public," said Justice Katju, who authored the 110-page judgment for the bench.
Why was the court insistent that a final view should be taken by high courts? It was probably a result of the apprehension expressed by Attorney General G E Vahanvati that unscrupulous relatives in collusion with hospital staff could engineer a consent to grab the property of a dying man. However, Vahanvati had opposed euthanasia in all forms, claiming that India was not emotionally ready for it.
The bench said when an application for euthanasia is filed, the Chief Justice of the HC should "constitute a bench of at least two judges who should decide to grant approval or not. Before doing so, the bench should seek the opinion of a committee of three reputed doctors to be nominated by the bench after consulting such medical authorities/medical practitioners as it may deem fit."
"For this purpose a panel of doctors in every city may be prepared by the HC in consultation with the state government/union territory and their fees for this purpose may be fixed," the court said.
While appointing the panel, the HC must issue notice to the state and close relatives of the patient, and in their absence to the patient's next friend, and supply a copy of the report of the doctor's committee to them, the court said and asked the HC to decide passive euthanasia pleas expeditiously.

World Cup: India defeat Ireland by 5 wickets

Yuvraj Singh

(TOI)
BANGALORE. An Indian victory at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday was never in doubt and so their five-wicket win did not come as a surprise to anyone. But the fact is that Ireland ran India somewhat close, far closer than they should have been allowed to. Too many wickets were lost, too many overs were used up while chasing 208 for victory against an attack that was honest at best.
Yes, the Indians did collect full points in the end but then these matches against the qualifiers should be more about making a point or two. And who knows, had the big Trent Johnston, who picked up two early wickets, not gone off injured after five overs, it could have been even closer.
Yuvraj Singh, though, will take such a match everyday. The left-hander starred with the ball and his showing with the bat later justified his skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni's call to chase after he had won the toss.
That Yuvraj was India's unlikely bowling hero goes without saying. It was his maiden five-wicket haul that pushed back the Irish cause a long way. The visitors were dismissed for a paltry 207, barely three days after they had chased down more than 300 against England.
The Indians in turn stuttered a bit, losing Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir cheaply and then Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli and Dhoni all in their 30s but then were well served by Yuvraj the batsman as the target was reached with four overs to spare, setting off wild celebrations in the packed stadium.
That little cushion in the end was chiefly because of Yusuf Pathan, the only Indian batsman, apart from the composed Yuvraj (50 not out, 75b, 3x4), to make a statement. Pathan (30 not out, 24b, 2x4, 3x6) walked in and straightaway got going with the big hits to ensure that Ireland didn't come too close to causing a second upset in this edition of the World Cup.
In the afternoon, the pitch afforded some turn early on but it was a factor neither Piyush Chawla nor Harbhajan Singh, India's frontline spinners, could exploit. Yuvraj, with his part-time left-arm spin was easily the best on view, as his figures (0-0-31-5) reflect. He bowled all ten in one go.
The early damage was done by Zaheer Khan, who should have had Ireland skipper William Porterfield before he had got off the mark had Pathan held on to the edge at second slip of just the third ball of the innings. Porterfield (75, 104b, 6x4, 1x6) went on to anchor the innings and give it some respectability before that man Yuvraj struck.
Following the twin strikes by Zaheer, it was a sensible, 148-ball 113-run third wicket stand between the left-handed pair of Porterfield and Niall O-Brien that shored up the Ireland innings. The duo was also helped by some terrible bowling by leg-spinner Chawla, who even sent down two no-balls, the resultant free hit off the first handing the momentum to the Irish innings.

	37.1 81.3 kph, the drinks break strikes. Porterfield is gone to one of Yuvraj's poorer balls today. He is turning things around for India here, and this performance could force Dhoni to rethink whether he needs two specialist spinners. This, though, was a shoddy delivery. Short and turning away slowly, Porterfield rocks back and spanks it hard. Sadly, he finds Harbhajan at cover. 160/6

Lands back of a length on off stump and straightens, but the batsman is well down the track, his backfoot is a foot outside the crease and his front foot is well down the track. Will the 2.5 metres come into the picture? According to (a potentially inaccurate) HawkEye, since he is more than 2.5 m forward, it was hitting off and middle at a comfortable height. Right, on replays, umpire Tucker has reversed his decision and Yuvraj has five. Bangalore roars. Yuvraj puts out his hand, with all five fingers spread out. Dhoni just smiles. Good stuff this. 184/8

Looped up just outside off, and turning in sharply as Mooney presses half forward to defend. He did not get his pad out of the line, and was struck in front of off. Only height could have saved him, but the tracker predicts this to be clipping the top of middle. On your way, Mooney. 178/7

Someone forgot to inform the horizontal Indian captain. He was fully stretched to the right and pouched it inches above the ground. And he doesn't celebrate.

	1.1 to Sehwag, the famous chicken dance come out as Virender Sehwag gets a leading edge back to the bowler, he was looking to play it to the leg side, it pops back to Johnston who collects and sets off on a celebratory dance 9/1 5.2 to Gambhir, 127.3 kph, no chicken dance this time, but Johnston has struck again, Gambhir is gone, that wasn't a great delivery, and it wasn't a great shot either, length ball on legstump, Gambhir looks to tuck it past short fine, he can only chip it to the fielder there, the Chinnaswamy is silenced 24/2
	GH Dockrell	10	0	49	2	4.90
	20.1 to Tendulkar, The left-arm charm works. Sachin is out. Dockrell has removed the big man. Innocuous delivery. Tossed up on middle stump and straightening. Sachin went down on a knee to play the sweep through square leg. He missed and was struck on the right thigh. He discussed long and hard with Kohli is it was worth reviewing. In the end he decided against it, and just as well. That was plumb, heading for leg and middle. Could not have been plumber if he was working with pipes and taps. Peterson, Yuvraj and now Dockrell... What's it with left-arm spinners today?! 87/3 40.1 to Dhoni, 83.2 kph, is there still a twist? Dhoni has been given out lbw by Rod Tucker, Dhoni had taken a big stride forward and was hit on the back leg, that pitched on middle and off, and was going on to hit middle and leg, there's no inside-edge either, by the time the review upheld the decision to give him out, Dhoni was nearly back in the pavilion, a day to cherish for Dockrell, getting two of the biggest names in the game, first Sachin and now Dhoni 167/5

World Cup: Anderson, Broad script England's incredible win over South Africa

Ravi Bopara

(TOI)
CHENNAI. If there's one team that has been brilliant the advertisers of one-day cricket in this World Cup, it's England. A tie, a last-over loss to a lower-ranked team, and now an incredible six-run win over favourites South Africa, Andrew Strauss' men have done it all in the course of a week.
The skipper may have grown a few grey hairs in the process, but he knows that the ghost of Bangalore has been exorcised and his side will go to Chittagong riding high on confidence.
Even on a rank turner at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, 172 wasn't exactly a big ask for South Africa. But the England pacemen James Anderson (2/16) and Stuart Broad (4/15) produced a couple of inspired spells when it looked all dead and buried for the T20 world champions. It had been set up, though, by off-spinner Graeme Swann, who stuck to a brilliant line and removed Graeme Smith with a beauty that took the South African skipper's glove.
The decision was referred, the third umpire took an eternity to give Smith out, but when he did, England saw a glimmer of hope.
Still, with the likes of Jacques Kallis, Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers in the line-up, South Africa believed that they were pretty much in the drivers' seat. The England captain threw the ball to Broad, who was coming back from an injury, but the paceman worked up a lively pace on a hot and humid day Sunday. The inconsistent bounce, too, helped him as Amla dragged one onto the stumps and South Africa started to feel the heat.
Broad, along with Anderson, got the ball to reverse as well on a worn-out track as Kallis, De Villiers and Duminy got out in quick succession. But when Dale Steyn and Morne Van Wyk got involved in a 33-run eighth-wicket partnership, the South Africans again started fancying their chances. A stumping was missed, a catch was floored, and the tension rose among the handful of English fans.
With 12 more to go, the Proteas would surely have thought that things would go their way, when Tim Bresnan removed Morne Van Wyk. Strauss changed Broad's end, brought him from the pavilion end, and the paceman removed Steyn and Morne Morkel in the same over with some excellent exhibition of reverse swing to snatch an English victory from the threshold of disaster.
It looked all so incredible, taking into account all that happened right from the first over of the day when Robin Peterson removed Strauss and Kevin Pietersen to have England at 5/2.
It was down to Jonathan Trott (52) and Ravi Bopara (60) to do the rebuilding act. Just when it seemed that a total of 225 was possible, Imran Tahir came to the party.
But then, that was just half the story as Strauss' boys scripted a brilliant comeback win four hours later.

Young India's spirit is about soul

(TOI)
What's the S-word again? Not sex, style, six-packs or six-figure salaries. For the young, educated Indian, it's soul, spirituality and solace. Most college students in India's metros have faith in God — and family — firmly in place, an exclusive Speaking Tree-IMRB survey across Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, Chennai and Hyderabad has found. An overwhelming majority of respondents — 91% — are practising believers, i.e. they have faith and regularly visit a place of worship, especially during stressful times like exam week. More than two-thirds admit to praying at least once a week and 26% say they pray, but only on special occasions.
What's more, 95% seek their parents' blessings before embarking on a new and important task. Most prefer to follow the religion they were born into and only 6% would like to explore other faiths. Unsurprisingly, the family is acknowledged as the biggest influence in matters of faith by 91% of respondents, with friends considered important by just 5% and the Internet ranked high by just 1%.
In response to the question " How spiritual are you?", 16% said very, 49% said moderately, 28% said slightly and a mere 7% responded not at all. Three-fourths (77%) preferred to call themselves spiritual rather than religious. Feeding the poor is rated high among 77% as a spiritual activity. Most question the relevance of rituals and 67% say they wouldnt 'fast for religious reasons'.
Interestingly, the majority do not see sex as an expression of spirituality and only 18% connected the two.
So who's wearing their spirituality on their sleeve? Equal numbers (40% and 41% respectively) preferred to keep it hidden from peers than discuss it openly.
(But young people in the national capital are exceptions with a massive 74% admitting they freely discuss their spiritual life with others.)
The poll was conducted among 757 students, of which 490 were from elite and 267 from middle-rung colleges in the six metros where The Speaking Tree on Sunday newspaper is published.

Gaddafi's envoy to India given key post by rebels

(TOI)
NEW DELHI. Ali Al Essawi, former ambassador to India and one of the first Libyan diplomats to have raised the banner of revolt against Muammar Gaddafi, is the rebels' choice to reach out to the world. The Libyan National Council, which has emerged as the main representative of Libyan people, has appointed Essawi in-charge of foreign affairs.
Essawi is a member of a Crisis Committee formed by the Benghazi-based Council, which met on Saturday to chalk out the path ahead for the revolutionaries and help in decision-making. The committee has two other members, including a head of military affairs.
Essawi, who had shifted to a hotel in Delhi after resigning from his post last month, has said that while the Opposition does not want international troops in Libya, it does want the international community to save Libyans. To prevent air strikes against the rebels, he called for the UN to impose a no-fly zone over Libya. He also alleged that foreign mercenaries were being hired to fight on behalf of the regime.
After his resignation, Essawi continued to work with the council leaders and others in the diplomatic community to resist violence being perpetrated by the Gaddafi regime. Despite the presence of Gaddafi, the council's legitimacy as the main Opposition body continues to increase, with countries such as France siding with its objectives.
As the rebels continue to march towards Tripoli, India is breathing a sigh of relief as two-thirds of its citizens have been brought home safely. The foreign ministry said a record number of more than 2,300 Indian nationals were evacuated from Libya in the past 24 hours. Three special Air India flights from Tripoli and one from Sebha, and Red Star One ferry carried out the task. The ministry said in a statement that more than 12,000 Indians would have been pulled out of Libya by Sunday evening.
The second Boeing 747 sortie brought home 400 passengers from Sebha (Libya) to Mumbai. Daily sorties have been scheduled to evacuate all the remaining persons from Sebha over the next few days.
"In the second round, MV Scotia Prince picked up all the remaining 972 of our nationals from Benghazi and is headed to Alexandria, where it is expected to reach on Monday afternoon. These passengers will be flown back to India on four special flights (one of them IL 76) on Tuesday and Wednesday," the statement said.
MV Red Star One ferry commenced its return journey to Malta from Misurata (Libya) on Saturday evening, with all 301 Indians desirous of leaving Libya and 29 foreign nationals on board, including six from Bangladesh.
