Muzaffarnagar riots leave 43,000 homeless

Muzaffarnagar:Violence-hit Muzaffarnagar was calm for the fourth day Friday, with Uttar Pradesh officials saying that the three days of violence had left over 43,000 people homeless. And with the town and its surrounding areas inching towards its old self, cautious authorities Friday relaxed curfew for 12 hours -- 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.  An official told IANS that the night curfew would be in place till the weekend.

'Once the situation becomes normal, we will completely lift the curfew,' said a senior police official.  District authorities say more than 43,000 people who fled their homes, primarily from surrounding villages, are being sheltered in the 38 relief camps hurriedly set up in the district.

The Uttar Pradesh government has sanctioned funds for financial compensation to the injured, riot-affected and ex-gratia for the next of kin of the 43 people officially listed as killed in the violence.  An official said Rs.3.1 crore had been distributed to riot victims thus far.  Recovery of arms and cancellation of arms licenses continued, with 300 more revoked till late Thursday. Home department officials said the police were trying to zero in on people who 'electronically distributed' a fake video clip that aggravated the violence after Sep 7. 

As many as 70 people have been named in different first information reports (FIRs) but none has been arrested. Over 10,000 people continued to be under preventive detention. Police have confiscated a large amount of ammunition, including AK-47 cartridges. The violence erupted last weekend after simmering discontent following the harassment of a young woman Aug 27 in a village Muzaffarnagar district.

Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav have accused rival parties of triggering trouble in Muzaffarnagar, a bustling city 130 km from New Delhi, and nearby areas.

Stay positive for a healthy heart

Copenhagen: Having a positive attitude encourages heart disease patients to exercise more which in turn increases longevity, says a study. Researchers used a questionnaire to assess the moods of 600 heart disease patients in a Denmark hospital. Five years later, researchers found the most positive patients exercised more and had a 42 percent less chance of dying for any reason during the follow-up period. Deaths were less than 10 percent.

Among patients with less positive attitudes, 50 deaths occurred (16.5 percent). 

Positive mood and exercise also cut the risk of heart-related hospitalizations, reports Science Daily. Coronary artery disease is caused by narrowed arteries that don't provide enough blood and oxygen to the heart.

'We should focus not only on increasing positive attitude in cardiac rehabilitation, but also make sure that patients perform exercise on a regular basis, as exercise is associated with both increased levels of optimism and better health,' said Susanne S. Pedersen, one of the study authors and professor of cardiac psychology, the Department of Medical and Clinical Psychology, Tilburg University, the Netherlands, and adjunct professor of cardiac psychology, the University of Southern Denmark and Odense University Hospital, Denmark. The new research has been published in the American Heart Association journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes.

Choose right blouse to complement body type

New Delhi: The sari is a traditional garment that all Indian women like to flaunt during festivals or weddings. While focussing on the embroidery work or colour or fabric of the nine yard cloth, don’t ignore the blouse.

Fashion designer Kritika Dawar suggests various kinds of blouses that can complement your body type:
* Skinny-built women: Go for halter necks. You can also carry high necks or collared styles. You can team up banarasi or kanjivarams saris with a puffed sleeve style blouse. * Medium-built women: You can carry all styles like deep cut necks and backs and more. * Heavy-built women: Puff sleeves and sleeveless blouses will highlight heavy arms, so wear three-fourths and full sleeves. Try a boat neck or a choli cut blouse or deep v-necks.
