08:21 Chinese soldiers should leave Bhutanese territory to reduce tension: India:
The border standoff between armies of India and China at the Sikkim sector can be resolved diplomatically and Chinese soldiers should leave the Bhutanese territory to reduce tension in the area, Minister of State for
Defence Subhash Bhamre said.
“I think the issue can be resolved at the diplomatic level. The Chinese troops should stay where they were earlier. China is approaching towards Bhutanese territory. We want them not to come forward.
“This is our security concern and this is our stand. Bhutan’s King had given a statement that Chinese (troops) are entering into its territory. This tension can be resolved at the diplomatic level. Across the table we can solve all the problems,” Bhamre said.
Bhamre’s comments came on a day China accused India of “trampling” on the principles of the Panchsheel pact and demanded that India “correct its mistakes” by pulling back its troops immediately.
Chinese envoy to India Luo Zhaohui had said China had ruled out a compromise in the military standoff with India and put the onus on New Delhi to resolve the “grave” situation.
China and India have been engaged in a standoff in the Dokalam area near the Bhutan trijunction for the past 19 days after a Chinese army’s construction party came to build a road.
00:23 Fans of Trump Taj Mahal can take a piece of the casino home:
Fans of the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort can take home a piece of the former casino before it’s gutted to make way for the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
Furniture, poker tables, grand pianos, art and even its famous chandeliers will be among the merchandise up for grabs at a liquidation sale that starts at 10 am tomorrow.
National Content Liquidators says the sale will continue until everything’s gone.
US President Donald Trump opened the Taj Mahal in 1990, proclaiming it to be “the eighth wonder of the world.”
But within a year it had filed for bankruptcy, crippled by choking debt. Trump cut most of his ties with Atlantic City in 2009, having lost control of the casino company he once owned in a bankruptcy.
Billionaire investor Carl Icahn shut the Taj Mahal down in October after a bitter strike with the casino’s main union, and he sold it to Hard Rock International in March for $50 million.
