PUTIN SIGNS ‘ACCESSION TREATIES’ IN DEFIANCE OF INTL LAW; US,WEST IMPOSE FRESH SANCTIONS MOSCOW/LONDON, SEP 30 (AGENCIES): Vladimir Putin has signed “accession treaties” formalising Russia’s illegal annexation of four occupied regions in Ukraine – Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk and Donetsk – marking the largest forcible takeover of territory in Europe since the second world war. After signing the treaties, the Russian-installed heads of the four regions gathered around Putin, linking hands and joining chants of “Russia! Russia!” with the applauding audience.

Putin later addressed crowds in Moscow’s Red Square, where he vowed to “do everything” to “raise the level of security” in Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk and Donetsk. Speaking at a televised patriotic pop concert, the Russian leader said people in the regions

Gen Anil Chauhan

NEW DELHI, SEP 30 (PTI): Gen Anil Chauhan on Friday became India’s new Chief of Defence Staff with a mandate to implement the ambitious theaterisation plan that aims to ensure tri-services synergy and prepare the armed forces for future security challenges facing the nation.

Gen Chauhan, a former Eastern Army Commander, took charge as the country’s senior-most military commander over nine months after first Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) Gen Bipin Rawat died in a helicopter crash in Tamil Nadu.

In a brief interaction with the media, Gen Chauhan said the security challenges facing the nation will be dealt with jointly by the three services.

“I am proud to be assuming the responsibility of the highest rank in the Indian Armed Forces. I will try to fulfill the expectations from the three services and tackle all challenges and difficulties together,” he said.

He became the first retired three-star Lt Generalrank officer to return to the service as a four four-star General.

This is it!

“Even before one protest is over, we have another one already.”

“Welcome home!” he said, prompting chants of “Russia! Russia!” from the flagwaving crowd.

The Kremlin said again on Friday that it would consider attacks against any part of the regions of Ukraine that it is about to annex – Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kher-

son – as acts of aggression against Russia itself.

Putin insisted that Russia’s position on annexing the four territories was nonnegotiable, adding that the country would defend them “with all the forces and means at our disposal.”

“I call on the Kyiv regime to immediately cease fire and all military action,” he said, and for the Ukrai-

nian government “to return to the negotiating table.”

US, West condemn Putin: Western leaders have condemned Russia’s annexations as illegal, and the “referendums’’ that preceded them-- purporting to show local support for joining Russia-- as fraudulent.

US President Joe Biden was quick to denounce Putin’s actions to annex the four territories, saying they “have no legitimacy’’ and adding that “the United States will always honor Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders.’’

NATO secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, described Putin’s land grab as the “most serious escalation” since the war began, while G7 foreign ministers said in a joint statement that the annexation efforts “constitute a new low point in Russia’s blatant flouting

PM flags off train, launches Ahmedabad metro

AHMEDABAD, SEP 30 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday flagged off the Gandhin a g a r - M u m b a i Va n d e Bharat Express semi-high speed train and inaugurated the first phase of the Ahmedabad Metro rail project on the second day of his two-day visit to Gujarat, where Assembly Modi also travelled in the express train and the metro train before addressing a rally in Ahmedabad, where he said cities will shape the destiny of India and ensure that it becomes a developed nation in the next 25 years. Modi flagged off the train from Gandhinagar Capital railway station around 10.30 am before boarding the train.

“PM @narendramodi is on board the Vande Bharat Express from Gandhinagar to Ahmedabad. People from different walks of life, including those from the Railways family, women entrepreneurs and youngsters are his co-passengers on this journey,” the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO India) said in a tweet.

Addressing a rally at Ahmedabad later, Modi said cities will shape the destiny of India and they will ensure that it becomes a developed nation in the next 25 years.

Stating that new cities are being built in the country as per the global business demand, he also made a

pitch for modernising cities as per the changing times and called for the creation of twin cities.

“India of the 21st century is going to get new momentum from the cities of the country. With the changing times, it is necessary to continuously modernise our cities with the changing needs. So much focus is being given and investment being made on the cities in the country, because they will ensure the creation of a developed India in the coming 25 years,” he said.

Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, Bhopal, Indore, Jaipur - these cities will shape the destiny of India in the next 25 years. These investments are not limited to connectivity alone, but smart facilities are being put in place in dozens of cities; basic facilities are being improved and suburbs are being developed, he said.

Calling for the need to modernise the transport systems in cities, he said, “There should be seamless connectivity. One mode of transport should support the other. This is necessary...”

SHIMLA, SEP 30 (IANS): Himachal Pradesh has a special place in the heart of Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he considers the hill state as his second home, Rajya Sabha MP and BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said here on Friday.

“Late Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji has his own house in Prini in Manali and BJP national President Jagat Prakash Nadda-ji belongs to Bilaspur in Himachal.

This proves that BJP’s vision of Himachal has a special place,” he told the media.

He said the state government-led by Jai Ram Thakur has done excellent work in every area of society, especially for achievements in the health sector with 100 per cent Covid-19 vaccination.

Besides, he said, in health sector, AIIMS Bilaspur, which will be dedicated to the public and built at a cost of Rs 1,500 crore and six medical colleges are among the major achievements of the government.

The BJP leader said the satellite centre of the PGI is coming up at Una at a cost of Rs 450 crore, besides Himachal has been given several trauma centres from level one to level three.

He said even during the pandemic, the double engine government has greatly strengthened the health facilities of the state.

“Earlier there were 32 ventilators in the state. Today there are more than 1,000 ventilators and more than 5,000 oxygen concentrators. During the Congress government in the state, there were only two oxygen plants.”

Taking a jibe at the Congress, he said the party was busy in fighting among themselves.

Rajnath reviews functioning of 7 DPSUs carved out of OFB NEW DELHI, SEP 30 (PTI): Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday reviewed the working of the seven state-run defence companies which were carved out of the erstwhile Ordnance Factory Board (OFB).

For 2022-23 fiscal, the seven new defence public sector undertakings (DPSUs) have projected cumulative sales target of around Rs 17,000 crore, which is significantly higher compared to previous achievements of erstwhile OFB, according to the defence ministry.

The companies commenced operations from October 1 last year before they were dedicated to the nation by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the occasion of ‘Vijayadashami’ on October 15. Addressing the officers and employees of the seven companies virtually, Singh stated the corporatisation of OFB was a major reform in the direction of making the country self-reliant in the defence sector.

“The erstwhile OFB, with its infrastructure and skilled manpower, was a strategic asset of the country, which made valuable contributions to national security,” he said.

However, Singh said there were concerns in the armed forces regarding high costs, inconsistent quality and delay in supply of products by the OFB in the last few decades.

“Being a government department, the OFB had little accountability to show profits.

There were age-old procedures, practices, paper works and rules & regulations, which had lost relevance,” he said.

“Getting rid of these practices was the need of the hour and corporatisation was the best way forward. The government has been hand-holding these companies since the beginning,” Singh said. The defence ministry said an amount of Rs 2,953 crore has been released to these companies in the form of equity during 2021-22 and 2022-23 for modernisation and a further amount of Rs 6,270 crore is planned to be released up to

Rajnath Singh 2026-27 for capital expenditure.

In addition, an amount of Rs 3,750 crore has been released to these companies in the form of Emergency Authorisation Fund. The functional and financial autonomy provided to these new corporate entities, coupled with hand-holding by the government, has started reflecting in their performance, the defence ministry said.

Within a short span of six months, from October 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022, these new companies have achieved the turnover of more than Rs 8,400 crore, it said.

The ministry said the new DPSUs have reported production achievement of more than Rs 6,500 crore in first six months of financial year 2022-23.

The ministry said the new entities have shown marked improvement in productivity and quality in the changed corporate set up. In 2021-22, out of seven companies, six have indicated profits based on the provisional financial statements.

To further improve the functioning of these DPSUs, Singh listed out some of the key areas which need to be focussed on. Terming the present era as technology-driven, he exhorted the companies to develop or get acquainted with latest technologies, which are vital for the defence industry to make its mark at national and international levels.

He urged them to lay special emphasis on modernisation through domestic research and development as it is the “strongest and the safest way forward”.

MTLT flays rising cases of extortion (From p-1) MTLT lauded Mokokchung Police for its prompt action in arresting the anti-social elements and initiating action as per the law of the land.

It also strongly endorsed the press statement of All Ward Union Mokokchung Town (AWUMT) published in local papers on September 30, 2022 that directed the jailed culprits to leave the town within 15 days once they come out of jail.

MTLT declared their strong support to the stance of AWUMT not to pardon any extortionist and the declaration of taking befitting action against such elements. They also supported the direction to every household to always keep three traditional torches ready as practised in the past.

In this regard, MTLT called upon every youth of the town to take serious cognisance of AWUMT press statement and be ready for any eventuality that might arise.

Further, MTLT declared that it would not tolerate any antisocial element and requested all peace-loving citizens of the town to remain vigilant so that the peaceful atmosphere of the town was not disturbed in any manner.

Various organisations have come out openly in condemning these collections and have also warned that those indulging in such activities will be dealt with severely as per the law of the land. Though there had been various organisations like ACAUT Nagaland, Nagaland Voluntary Consumers’ Organisation(NVCO) , Naga Council Dimapur(NCD) and its affiliate such as Public Action Committee(PAC) and Naga Tribal Union Chümoukedima Town (NTUCT) besides several other organisations in several districts. Illegal or unauthorised collection of tax is deemed an offence but which has become the only major cottage industry in the state. There had been massive public rallies across Nagaland against unauthorised taxation during the past several years and asking the authorities to take stringent measures to protect business. The right to collect tax rests with the legally constituted government which uses the revenue for providing service or infrastructure to the people. There is only one government in Nagaland and which is the state government, ruled by elected representatives chosen by popular vote every five years.

Apex bodies of newly created districts –Chümoukedima and Niuland-have sent strong messages to those engaged in this illegal industry to keep their hands off business and other trade in the districts. Naga Tribal Union Chümoukedima Town (NTUCT) has reaffirmed its total opposition and objection to any kind of tax collection within the district by any group and under whatever pleas. NTUCT said the decision to not pay any tax to NPGs was in line with the 2013 public rally on October 31,2013 organised by ACAUT at Dimapur.

The rally resolved to not pay any tax unless for one government one tax. Of course with so many groups claiming their respective legitimacy, it is impossible to even consider which of them is “the government.” In nearby Niuland(also carved out of Dimapur district), the Western Sumi Hoho (WSH) and NGOs of Niuland district unanimously resolved not to pay taxes to any underground faction. The organisations said rampant taxation have become the main reason that has been hampering the growth and development of Niuland in every sphere. Whether illegal or unauthorised, the taxes are being collected/imposed by several ‘parallel governments’ including departments of the state of Nagaland. truck laden with goods bound for Dimapur, has to pay anything from Rs.15,000. The rate could increase if the truck has above six tyres such as ten, 14 or 16. This is known as transport tax. Again when the taxed truck unloads, the receiver will have to pay godown tax. Later when the goods reach the stores, shops, each item is also taxed. Over and above, there is also syndication of business. If a dealer wants to buy an item, he or she will have to buy it through a ‘dealer’ and not from any other un-authorised source(s). there are syndicates for transport, hardware goods, cement, vegetables, poultry, fish, pan leaf, varieties of tobacco,fruits and even second hand clothes. Aside from the kind of negative feelings unauthorised tax collections evoke among business and public, it is also time to seriously do away with this as solution to the political issue is just round the corner.

DailyDevotion The Assigning of the Call

I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church… —Colossians 1:24

We take our own spiritual consecration and try to make it into a call of God, but when we get right with Him He brushes all this aside. Then He gives us a tremendous, riveting pain to fasten our attention on something that we never even dreamed could be His call for us. And for one radiant, flashing moment we see His purpose, and we say, “Here am I! Send me” (Isaiah 6:8).

This call has nothing to do with personal sanctification, but with being made broken bread and poured-out wine. Yet God can never make us into wine if we object to the fingers He chooses to use to crush us. We say, “If God would only use His own fingers, and make me broken bread and poured-out wine in a special way, then I wouldn’t object!” But when He uses someone we dislike, or some set of circumstances to which we said we would never submit, to crush us, then we object. Yet we must never try to choose the place of our own martyrdom. If we are ever going to be made into wine, we will have to be crushed—you cannot drink grapes. Grapes become wine only when they have been squeezed.

I wonder what finger and thumb God has been using to squeeze you? Have you been as hard as a marble and escaped? If you are not ripe yet, and if God had squeezed you anyway, the wine produced would have been remarkably bitter. To be a holy person means that the elements of our natural life experience the very presence of God as they are providentially broken in His service. We have to be placed into God and brought into agreement with Him before we can be broken bread in His hands.

Stay right with God and let Him do as He likes, and you will find that He is producing the kind of bread and wine that will benefit His other children.

POSHAN tracker: A game changer in combating malnutrition

M

alnutrition has been a persistent challenge, particularly among the vulnerable sections of children and women in the country.

India had, relatively, some of the worst numbers for malnutrition in the world.

The first National Family Health Survey (NFHS) in 1992-1993 found that India was one of the worst performing countries on child health indicators.

The Ministry of Women and Child Development has consistently aimed at addressing the malaise of malnutrition through systemic interventions and programmes such as Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS), including Supplementary Nutrition Programme, providing health supplementary meals / fortified ration to the most vulnerable, namely, children under the age of 6 years, pregnant women, lactating mothers and adolescent girls.

In the endeavour to tackle malnutrition in a targeted manner, the PM’s Overarching Scheme for Holistic Nutrition or POSHAN Abhiyan was launched in 2018, with an aim to address issues of

undernutrition, stunting, Anemia, low birth weight etc in a mission mode. Convergence with Partner Ministries / Departments, Focus on Behaviour Change Communication through Community Based Events and Jan Andolanand Use of Technology to ensure effective monitoring, are, inter alia, the core planks of the Abhiyan.

The Gover nment, under the leadership of Hon’ble PM has time and again emphasised the power of technology as a potent tool for improving service delivery outcomes. It is in line with this spirit, that Poshan Tracker Application was launched in 2021.

The Poshan Tracker App was launched with a vision to digitise data/ record related to malnutrition and service delivery under ICDS from Anganwadi Centres across the country, paving the way for near-real time monitoring and enabling policies for targeted intervention.

Under POSHAN Abhiyan , for the first time, Anganwadi Centres / Workers were equipped w i t h a S m a r t p h o n e s.

Technology under Poshan Tracker is being leveraged

for dynamic identification of stunting, wasting, under-weight prevalence among children; and last mile tracking of nutrition service delivery.

Collecting daily data from over 13.9 lakh operational Anganwadi centres covering over 9.8 crore beneficiaries, the Tracker enable real-time monitoring and tracking of all Anganwadi centres, Anganwadi workers and beneficiaries on defined indicators including Anganwadi workers’ service deliveries and complete beneficiary management for children, pregnant women and lactating mothers.

It also helps supervisors and program officials to access a web-based dashboard to track progress and plug the gaps in the supply chain of the service delivery. This real-time monitoring tracks the centres, workers and beneficiaries providing a holistic overview of the progress of the program. It is available in regional languages, other than Hindi and English.

It has been the consistent effort of the Ministry to ensure last mile tracking of delivery of services. To bring about the same, ben-

eficiaries registered on the Poshan Tracker are Aadhar seeded. Where the Aadhar of a child is not available, the facility of linking it with the mother’s Aadhar is provisioned.

Aadhar seeding of the beneficiaries will help in ensuring that there is a mechanism to monitor and track service delivery up to the last mile and there is no leakage or bogus entries.

As on date, close to 82% of the beneficiaries have been Aadhar seeded.

Further, the Poshan Tracker has facilitated true universalisation of Anganwadi Services by enabling the migration module. The migration module in the Tracker allows seamless transfer of beneficiary records from one Anganwadi Centre to other , either within a state or across States, thus facilitating the beneficiaries to access services from anywhere in the country.

Data and evidence and feedback loops are critical for decision making and altering program design to benefit uptake of services. POSHAN Tracker, is not just data tracking mechanism, but it serves as a real time monitor of

efficiency and effectiveness of the nutrition program and its service delivery. An integration of the Tracker with other programmatic tools such as RCH portal of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, will ensure holistic picture of health and nutrition indicators of the beneficiaries.

It has been just 1.5 years since the launch of the Poshan Tracker. Dealing with a large volume of data on a day-to-day basis from over 13 lakh Anganwadi centres, the potential of the Tracker for assessing nutritional outcomes is unlimitedonce the system stabilizes.

Perhaps in no other country in the world, is an intervention programme on such a large scale being conducted. So far, data of undernutrition was available through the NFHS reports, which are periodic and cover a sample size of households.

However, collecting and monitoring health and nutrition indicators of every single beneficiary registered under the Anganwadi services facilitating better and more effective interventions, is unprecedented.

Hon’ble Prime Min-

ister has maintained that, technology transforms people’s lives. From mitigating poverty to simplifying processes, ending corruption to providing better services, technology is omnipresent.

It has become the singlemost important instrument of human progress.

India can leverage its demographic dividend and human capital when its children and youth are healthy and well nourished. We realise that malnutrition is not only a problem for a suffering child, but it also contributes to a familial and social burden while cutting across socio-economic groups in the country. When it comes to building a strong and healthy population, correct nutrition, aided with the right progress in technology can help reverse malnutrition and impede its ill effects significantly.

By spreading the mission of holistic nutrition and overall health awareness, we are ensuring a healthy future for the children and women of India.

Why newspapers will survive the onslaught of the internet

R

ecently, a prominent Naga personality said, “Who even reads newspapers these days? Everything is readily available on social media...”.

Without delving much into the details, I reckon that the statement was in bad taste and without proper thought.

Moreover, this is not a retort or a response but rather about how the question has given me the urge to retrospect on the topic.

The current scenario The current technological world is moving at such a pace that even trends get outdated in no time, which the media industry is clearly becoming part of.

With everything and anything readily available at the click of a finger and a few taps, the stature of print media is steadily declining on a global scale.

Currently, the print news media is taking a ‘beating’ at the hands of digital/social media.

Digital/social media is much faster. It disseminates information and news in the blink of an eye and has the ability to reach a wide range of audience in a short span of time. Look around you and see how people consume news and media and you can make your own informed deductions.

The internet is crushing the already declining print media.

Even at the local-level, Nagaland has four major English dailies, a handful of vernacular

papers and another ‘hyperlocal’ English daily at present.

Comparing this number to the presence of news pages on social media -- Facebook, Instagram and YouTube combined -- print newspapers do not even comprise half the number of these sites.

The general consensus, which has been floating around for decades, around the print news industry, however is that it is ‘not yet’ dead! Countless surveys and research around the world consistently show that there has been a steady decline in newspaper readership over the years and decades.

However, while the internet has fueled the growth of social media news sites on various platforms and shortened the gap between news and people, what it lacks is credibility and authenticity, stemming from the fact that a particular news can be morphed, edited, deleted etc. in an instant.

Moreover, the ethics of journalism, more often than not, is missing from social media news sites as stated and observed by veterans of the print media.

‘Print will survive’ Print newspaper has come a long way and seen major generational and technological advances. It has survived the radio and television, which arguably are faster ways to disseminate information compared to a newspaper.

Despite the current techno-

logical advances, the print media has built a niche for itself and it is because of the simplicity of picking up a newspaper and reading it that it has survived.

Unlike modern technologies, newspapers do not require access to the internet and need not be charged!

A seasoned journalist, when queried about social media and its impact on print media, responded that social media sites just do not bring the feeling of authenticity. ‘Whenever there is a viral news or video on the internet, people will look for it in the newspapers the next day for more credible details and if it is authentic or not’, he stated.

In addition, a regular advertiser (an organisation) in the print media echoed the same sentiment that print is ‘authentic and credible’. And that sentiment reverberates with readers and advertisers as well, hence the preference for advertisements on print media over social media platforms.

Although some may argue that print ads are more expensive compared to digital media, it should also be known that print itself is a costly affair due to multiple inputs such as physical labour, ink, machinery etc.

Further, one has to pay a premium for the name, the credibility and the reach of an established print media just as one would have to fork out to pay an ‘internet influencer’ or

a leading digital news/social media site for a sponsored post or an ad.

Another veteran journalist based in Dimapur with almost 20 years of experience stated that despite the dwindling circulation of print newspapers, people will still need to publish court notices, affidavits, births and deaths, insurance claims among others because print is proof in a court of law.

A local newspaper is also a great way to disseminate information about the community for the locals. Established print media houses have loyal readership bases. For these readers, reading the newspaper has become a habit that is inherent to how they consume news.

A number of scientific research and studies conducted over the years have also found that people are able to retain information better on print than reading it on a screen. The reason? Because print is physical.

Reading and feeling the paper, the brain is able to process it easier, thereby increasing recall.

Bottom line, newspapers have adapted to several life changing technological advances and will continue to adapt for survival.

The way forward While this is not a definitive theory proven by scientific research, here is my take on the way forward.

Established print media

houses need to up the ante and move forward with the changing times. One way of doing that is to capitalise the ‘established’ name of the paper, take it to the digital platform and diversify across various platforms.

If people subscribe and read an established newspaper, they will also, surely, follow the paper in the digital platform due to its name. For a print newspaper at this day and age, the digital platform should not be ignored or seen as a competition, but rather as an ally and try to derive the maximum benefit.

Another way forward is to know the readership, the audience and act accordingly. Stories about ‘the local community, by the local community and for the local community’, while raising societal issues will bring in more readers and help to amplify their stories.

To conclude, as long as there is a love for reading, love for the physical and raw feeling of reading on a physical paper or book, print media will go on despite its dwindling circulation and despite the fact that not all may make it.

‘Newspapers will survive time; the ‘paper’ part may not!’

2nd October is International Day of Non-Violence

L

‘Say No to Violence’

iving in peace and without nonviolence is the aim of any human being on earth. There might be few individuals who wanted to create disturbances by the means of violence but most of us want peace for ourselves. One of the greatest activists of peace around the world is none other than our father of the nation. Mahatma Gandhi was one of the greatest champions of nonviolence.

He has not only worked for the rights of the people but also raised many concerns for human beings and for the rights and justice of the poor and marginalized.

“Poverty is the worst form of violence”, said by Mahatma Gandhi. He also said that “non-violence is a weapon of the strong and non-violence and truth are inseparable and presuppose one another.” Mahatma Gandhi was born on 2nd October and we observe the day as Gandhi Jayanti in India which is a national holiday.

Like Gandhi Jayanti in India, the International Day of Non-Violence is observed on 2 October, the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, leader of the Indian

independence movement and pioneer of the philosophy and strategy of nonviolence around the world.

According to the United Nations General Assembly resolution A/ RES/61/271 of 15 June 2007, which established the commemoration, the International Day is an occasion to “disseminate the message of non-violence, including through education and public awareness”. The resolution reaffirms “the universal relevance of the principle of non-violence” and the desire “to secure a culture of peace, tolerance, understanding and non-violence”.

Introducing the resolution in the General Assembly on behalf of 140 cosponsors, India’s then Minister of State for External Affairs, Mr. Anand Sharma, said that the wide and diverse sponsorship of the resolution was a reflection of the universal respect for Mahatma Gandhi and of the enduring relevance of his philosophy. Quoting the late leader’s own words, he said: “Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind.

It is mightier than the mightiest weapon

of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man”.

The principle of non-violence — also known as non-violent resistance — rejects the use of physical violence in order to achieve social or political change. Often described as “the politics of ordinary people”, this form of social struggle has been adopted by mass populations all over the world in campaigns for social justice.

There are three main categories of non-violence action: protest and persuasion, including marches and vigils; noncooperation and non-violent intervention, such as blockades and occupations.

The #KindnessMatters campaign was launched on the International Day of Non-Violence in 2018 and so far nearly 1.5 million people have shared acts of kindness across the world! #KindnessMatters Campaign aims to mobilize young people to carry out transformative acts of kindness to tackle the SDGs and create a positive culture of kindness.

The name of Mahatma Gandhi transcends the bounds of race, religion and nation-states, and has emerged as the

prophetic voice of the twenty-first century.

The world remembers Gandhi not just for his passionate adherence to the practice of non-violence and supreme humanism, but as the benchmark against which we test men and women in public life, political ideas and government policies, and the hopes and wishes of our shared planet.

We must promote the ideas and philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi. There are many organizations and individuals promoting Gandhian Philosophy not only in India but around. All Bodo Students Union (ABSU) has been observing the international day of nonviolence for more than a decade.

We must say no to illegal arms if we want a peaceful society. Together we can make a society free from violence and build a just society with peace everywhere. There are many challenges to make a society peaceful but it is possible when we work together.

Prez Murmu urges govt officers to serve with utmost sincerity

NEW DELHI, SEP 30 (PTI): President Droupadi Murmu on Friday said that primary aim of public servants should be to serve the nation and its people with utmost sincerity.

She was speaking to the officers/officer trainees of Indian Defence Estates Ser vice (IDES), Indian Skill Development Service (ISDS), Indian Trade Service (ITS) and Indian Telecom Service, who had called on the president at Rashtrapati Bhavan here.

Addressing the officers, Murmu said that after becoming part of the respective services, their primary aim should be to serve the nation and its people with utmost sincerity.

In their journey as public servants, they will get opportunities to bring about changes which can transform the lives of people, the president said.

She was confident that if young offices pursue the path of serving the people, they will earn a great deal of job satisfaction.

The president was happy to note that the Directorate General of Defence Estates has adopted technologies like satellite imagery, geo-spatial techniques and artificial intelligence for management of defence estates.

She urged Indian Defence Estates Service Officers to utilize technology to the maximum possible extent for effective administration of the cantonments.

The president said that technology has even more central role to play in the career of Indian Telecom Service officers.

India has undergone a telecom revolution during the last two decades, she said. “Launch of mobile telephony and faster inter-

net networks in India have enabled the country to tap its vast digital potential. It is important for us to have the best quality telecom and internet services in order to achieve the status of a developed country,” Murmu said.

As we shift towards 5G Mobile telephony, the

leaps in the technological advancements and its implementation are going to be swift, the president said.

It is responsibility of

Indian Telecom Service officers to keep abreast with these developments, she said.

Addressing the officers of Indian Skill Development Service, the president said that in order to benefit from the country’s demographic dividend, “our huge human resources need to be adequately skilled.”

“Skilling our people is critical as it would make our working-age population productive and help in the development of our country,” Murmu said.

She expressed confidence that officers of Indian Skill Development Service will be instrumental in encouraging the skillecosystem with their fresh approach and thinking.

NEW DELHI, SEP 30 (PTI): A Delhi court on Friday granted bail to former JNU student Sharjeel Imam in a sedition case in which he was accused of instigating the Jamia riots here in 2019.

Additional Sessions Judge Anuj Agrawal granted him relief in the matter.

A detailed order from the court is awaited.

In the New Friends Colony case, Imam was arrested for instigating and abetting the Jamia riots, due to his seditious speech delivered on December 13, 2019.

During the investigation, police invoked sections 124 A (sedition) and 153 A IPC (promoting enmity between classes) against him.

However, Imam, who is in judicial custody since January 2020, will continue to remain in jail as he is yet to secure bail in the Delhi riots conspiracy case.

Kejriwal also defended Nair and said he was just a “small worker” of the AAP and that he had nothing to do with the excise policy.

The Delhi chief minister alleged that the CBI arrested Nair following several rounds of questioning over the past few days after he refused to buckle under their pressure to give a false statement against Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia to implicate the senior AAP leader in the alleged excise “scam”.

“I was encouraged by all leaders, party workers and delegates from key states to contest the elections. I thank those who were present by my side at the time of filing the nomination papers,” Kharge told reporters here.

No one from the Gandhi family was present at the AICC headquarters when the leaders filed their nominations for the election.

“I have always been fighting this battle and I am keen to fight more to uphold the ideals of the Congress party with which I have been associated since my childhood,” Kharge said.

Kejriwal, however, did not specify which agency was working on the alleged plan to arrest Chadha and on what charges.

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia alleged that the BJP wanted to prevent its defeat in Gujarat by getting AAP leaders arrested, claiming that people of the state wanted to give their mandate to Kejriwal this time.

PM Modi to launch 5G services in India today

NEW DELHI, SEP 30 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Saturday launch the 5G telephony services, ushering in an era of ultra high-speed internet on mobile phones.

According to an official release, 5G will be launched by the Prime Minister in select cities on Saturday and it will progressively cover the entire country over the next couple of years.

The cumulative economic impact of 5G on India is estimated to reach USD 450 billion by 2035.

Capable of supporting ultra-high-speed internet, the fifth generation or 5G service is expected to unleash new economic opportunities and societal benefits, serving as a transformational force for Indian society. The three major telecom operators of the country will demonstrate one use case each in front of the Prime Minister to show the potential of 5G technology in India.

Billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio will connect a teacher from a school in Mumbai with students in three different

This, according to official sources, will demonstrate how 5G will facilitate education by bringing teachers closer to students, obliviating the physical distance between them. It will demonstrate the power of Augmented Reality (AR) on screen and how that is being used to teach children across the country, remotely, without the need of an AR device.

In the Airtel demo, a girl from Uttar Pradesh will witness a lively and immersive education experience to learn about the solar system with the help of virtual reality and augmented reality. The girl will share her experience of learning with the Prime Minister by ap-

pearing on the dias through a hologram.

The Vodafone Idea test case will demonstrate the safety of workers in an under-construction tunnel of Delhi Metro through the creation of a ‘digital twin’ of the tunnel on the dias.

The digital twin will help give safety alerts to workers in real-time from a remote location. Modi will take a live demo from the dias to monitor the work in realtime through utilising VR and artificial intelligence.

“Prime Minister, Narendra Modi will launch 5G services in India on October 1, 2022, and also inaugurate the 6th Edition of India Mobile Congress 2022 to be held from October 1-4, 2022, at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi,” the release added.

ANATG-2015 reject govt’s offer to form HPC; hunger strike to...

(From p-1) their fast and refused to accept the deal offered by the government. They asserted that nothing short of regularisation of their services will be acceptable.

S e ve r a l m e m b e r s spoke against the agreement reached between the core committee and government officials. The members said that a general consensus should have first arrived among the aggrieved teachers before any deal agreed.

Later, members on fast continued their stir, while the rest went home after it was decided that ANATG will convene a general meeting.

However, the ag grieved teachers flatly rejected the offer, saying they would not accept anything apart from regularisation.

Earlier, during the day, an ANSTA advisory team and Regular Graduate Teachers’ For um (RGTF) executives visited the agitating teachers to express their solidarity.

Speaking on the occasion, Regular Graduate Teachers Forum president said they stood with the

aggrieved teachers and would be with them till the end.

He encouraged the agitating teachers by saying they were demanding what was rightfully theirs.

Sharing his experience as an adhoc teacher for over 10 years, he claimed that adhoc teachers worked more, were more regular and performed even beyond their assigned duties.

He said ad-hoc teachers were also the most regular in schools and there were even times when schools were run solely by adhoc teachers.

He asserted that demand of ANATG was genuine and therefore the government would have to pay heed to their request and fulfil their demand.

He also pointed out that regularising the services of the teachers would not have any bearing on the financial position of the government exchequer except wastage of papers.

He informed the aggrieved teachers that all other teachers were praying for them and was hoping that justice would prevail.

Putin’s decision to sign treaties annexing the territories, some of which Russia does not fully control, is likely to shut the door on diplomacy for years to come.

Taken together, Russia is annexing at least 40,000 square miles of eastern and southern Ukraine, about 15% of Ukraine’s total area, equal to the size of Portugal or Serbia.

Putin has repeatedly said he is ready to defend the territories using all available means, indicating he would be willing to resort to a nuclear strike in order to avert Ukraine’s efforts to liberate its sovereign land.

NAGALAND POST, DIMAPUR SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2022

A great deal of world’s history will be Arrested 9 foreigners over protests: Iran written in Indo-Pacific in future: Biden DUBAI, SEP 30 (AP): Iran’s intelligence ministry says it has arrested nine foreigners over recent antihijab protests sweeping the country.

In a statement carried by the state-run news agency IRNA, the ministry said Friday that those arrested included citizens of Germany, Poland, Italy, France, the Netherlands and Sweden.

The death in custody of Mahsa Amini, who was detained for allegedly wearing the mandatory Islamic headscarf too loosely, has triggered an outpouring of anger at Iran’s ruling clerics.

Her family says they were told she was beaten to death in custody. Police say the 22-year-old Amini died of a heart attack and deny mistreating her, and Iranian officials say her death is under investigation. Iran has claimed that the daily protests that have swept the country for the past two weeks were instigated by foreigners.

Protesters have denied such claims, portraying their actions as a spontaneous uprising against the country’s strict dress code, including the compulsory hijab for women

in public.

Iran has detained individual foreigners in the past, often on claims that they were spies while not providing evidence.

C r i t i c s h av e d e nounced the practice as an attempt by Iran to use detained foreigners as bargaining chips for concessions from the international community.

Earlier in June, Iran arrested two French citizens, Cecile Kohler, 37, and Chuck Paris, 69 over meeting with protesting

UK unveils new coins featuring King Charles III portrait

LONDON, SEP 30 (PTI): New coins featuring the new British monarch, King Charles III, are expected to enter general circulation in the coming months as the portrait design was unveiled on Friday.

The UK’s Royal Mint revealed the new design with Charles’ head facing in the opposite direction to that of his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, as is royal tradition, along with a set of commemorative coins in memory of the late monarch. All coins bearing the effigy of the Queen, who died aged 96 earlier this month, will continue to also remain in circulation as legal tender in parallel.

“It is a privilege to sculpt the first official effigy

of His Majesty and to receive his personal approval for the design,” said Martin Jennings, Designer of the King’s coin portrait.

“The por trait was sculpted from a photograph of the King, and was inspired by the iconic effigies that have graced Britain’s coins over the centuries. It is the smallest work I have created, but it is humbling to know it will be seen and held by people around the world for centuries to come,” he said.

The first coins to bear the King’s portrait are a special GBP 5 coin and 50 pence commemorating the life and legacy of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The Latin inscription surrounding the effigy translates as “King Charles III, by the Grace of God, Defender of the Faith”. The effigy will start to appear on circulating and commemorative coins produced by the Royal Mint over the coming months.

teachers and taking part in an anti-government rally.

A number of Europeans were detained in Iran in recent months, including a Swedish tourist, two French citizens, a Polish scientist and others.

The arrests come as leaked government documents show that Iran ordered its security forces to “severely confront” antigovernment demonstrations that broke out earlier this month, Amnesty International said Friday.

The London-based

rights group said security forces have killed at least 52 people since protests over the Amini’s death began nearly two weeks ago, including by firing live ammunition into crowds and beating protesters with batons.

It says security forces have also beaten and groped female protesters who remove their headscarves to protest the treatment of women by Iran’s theocracy.

The state-run IRNA news agency meanwhile

reported renewed violence in the city of Zahedan, near the borders with Pakistan and Afghanistan. It said gunmen opened fire and hurled firebombs at a police station, setting off a battle with police.

It said police and passersby were wounded, without elaborating, and did not say whether the violence was related to the antigovernment protests.

The region has seen previous attacks on security forces claimed by militant and separatist groups.

Videos circulating on social media showed gunfire and a police vehicle on fire. Others showed crowds chanting against the government. Video from elsewhere in Iran showed protests in Ahvaz, in the southwest, and Ardabil in the northwest.

Amnesty said it obtained a leaked copy of an official document saying that the General Headquarters of the Armed Forces ordered commanders on Sept. 21 to “severely confront troublemakers and anti-revolutionaries.”

The rights group says the use of lethal force escalated later that evening, with at least 34 people killed that night alone.

Sikkim BJP MLA accuses CM’s political secy of conversion CM’S POLITICAL SECRETARY DARES MLA TO FILE CASE ON CONVERSION CHARGES

Jacob Khaling Rai The CM’s political secretary also uploaded a copy of Kumar’s letter dated September 29 to Shah.

In the letter, Kumar said, “I believe the assignment of the Political Secretary to the Chief Minister and the responsibility of a Pastor engaged in promot-

ing Christianity are two different things and the two should not be allowed to be mixed.”

Rai, in his statement, alleged that the BJP MLA of Dentam constituency was trying to foment communal disharmony in the North-eastern state, ruled by the Sikkim Krantikari Morcha, by making “unsubstantiated” allegations against him.

“Respected Lamas, Pandits and Pastors aren’t just next door neighbours but sometimes belong to a same family (sic),” he said.

Rai asserted that he has attended every religious function of all faiths with utmost respect and sincerity. “Photographs

GUWAHATI, SEP 30 (PTI): Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday said his government has drawn up elaborate plans for improving civic and other amenities in the state’s largest city Guwahati.

The city will be promoted as the “gateway to Southeast Asia”, he said.

Thrust will be given on improving roads and drainage system, increasing open spaces and digitialisation of services provided

by Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC), the CM said.

Speaking at the inauguration of a new flyover in Arya Nagar area of the city, Sarma said, “We have several plans and projects lined up for making Guwahati the gateway to Southeast Asia. Our focus is on allround development of the city in a planned manner.”

He said a project worth Rs 600 crore is being given final shape for improvement of roads and drains in all parts of the city.

Sarma also said a ring road encompassing Guwahati is also being mooted, though the plan is still in a preliminary stage.

“We are thinking of having a ropeway service from Khanapara to the airport, with stoppages in between. It is just an idea that we have in mind. We have to see how it can be done,” he explained.

The chief minister said work was underway to increase open spaces for recreational and other activities.

“A number of government office buildings are being taken down and the space emptied will be converted into parks and walking zones,” he explained.

The government offices will be shifted to an integrated directorate campus, Sarma maintained.

The fallout of the meeting could not be ascertained immediately as both sides refused to disclose what had transpired in the meeting.

The agitating students alleged that the show cause notice to Dr Sanatomba was against the rules of the university as there was no complaint against his speech.

They further alleged that the Deans’ Committee has no authority to take up such a legal matter. The committee itself is unconstitutional as the body was just created to facilitate the VC in functioning to serve as an informal advisory group.

The students pointed out that there is no provision for serving the show cause notice in the Act that bound the Manipur University.

During the rally, e students shouted various slogans alleging that the act of the university authority tantamount to suppression of freedom of expression.

They also demanded immediate withdrawal of the show cause notice while calling for a respect to the right to freedom of speech.

At the concluding part of the rally, the students stormed the administrative block of the university. The students locked themselves inside the administrative block to prevent police from intervening in their acts.

The helpless police contacted the registrar who immediately arrived and arranged a meeting between members of Deans’ Committee and leaders of the agitating students.

He alleged that Subba can be a threat to communal harmony in the Himalayan state.

The MLA’s “complaint of unfounded allegations against me should be an eye opener, that a mindset of power hungry characters like Dentam MLA NK Subba are even ready to play the communal card just to come back to power,” Rai said.

Subba refused to comment on Rai’s diatribes against him.

IMPHAL, SEP 30: Students of Manipur University on Friday gheraoed the administrative block of the university in Imphal, demanding withdrawal of the show cause notice served to an assistant professor of the university.

The agitating students also locked the administrative block after no officials, including the registrar they targeted to meet for talks, was found when they stormed the admin block. They also indulged in vandalism and damaged properties of the university.

The agitating students calmed down only after the registrar who signed the show cause notice served to assistant professor Dr N Sanatomba of Manipuri department of the university, arranged a meeting

between representatives of the agitating students and members of the Deans’ Committee of the university.

The rise of Christianity in Sikkim and neighbouring hill districts of Kalimpong and Darjeeling in West Bengal has been there even before his birth and it will be unfair to hold him responsible for it, he said.

FIDE to form panel to monitor allege cheating

LONDON, SEP 30 (AGENCIES): The International Chess Federation (FIDE) said it will convene a threeperson panel to look into world champion Magnus Carlsen’s allegations that American player Hans Niemann had cheated.

Carlsen, 31, withdrew from the Sinquefield Cup in St Louis, Missouri earlier this month after losing to the 19-year-old, who lags him by almost 200 Elo points - the

rating system used to calculate the relative skill level of players.

The surprise defeat and Carlsen’s withdrawal from the over-the-board tournament sparked a furore of comments and allegations that Niemann had cheated, including from U.S. grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura.

The Norwegian then resigned at the Julius Baer Generation Cup after just one move against Niemann

in an online game.

Niemann has previously been banned from chess. com for cheating online after admitting he had not played fairly in non-competitive games on the website in his youth. However, he has denied any wrongdoing in over-the-board games.

Carlsen on Monday said that he believed Niemann had “cheated more - and more recently - than he has publicly admitted”.

National Games: Mirabai pips Sanjita for 49kg weightlifting gold

GANDHINAGAR, SEP 30 (IANS): The women’s 49kg weightlifting competition at the 36th National Games unfolded on expected lines with a tactical battle between Mirabai Chanu and Sanjita Chanu at the Mahatma Mandir here on Friday.

In the end, Mirabai walked away with the gold with a total lift of 191 kgs (Snatch 84kg, Clean & Jerk 107 kgs) while Sanjita had to settle for the silver medal with a total lift of 187 kgs (Snatch 82kg, C&J 105kg).

Odisha’s Sneha Soren picked the bronze after totalling 169kg (Snatch 73kg, C&J 96kg).

In the snatch, Mirabai seized an early advantage by raising the bar to 81kgs in her very first attempt, before a clean effort of 84kg in her second lift gave her a cushion of 3kgs over her state-

Mirabai Chanu

mate Sanjita, who could manage 80kg and 82kgs in her first two attempts.

Sanjita’s third attempt of lifting 84kg was adjudged a foul. Mirabai preferred to save her energy and didn’t turn up for the third at-

tempt. In clean and jerk, Sanjita lifted 95kgs in her first attempt before raising the bar to 100kg and 105kg, with all three attempts getting the green light from the judges.

All eyes were on Mi-

rabai. She was greeted with thunderous applause from the crowd, which included a large Manipuri contingent.

The Birmingham Commonwealth Games gold medallist successfully lifted 103 in her first attempt before returning to lift 107kg to confirm the centre spot on the podium. She didn’t need a third attempt to take home the gold.

Elated after confirming the first medals for their state, the two Manipur weightlifters joined the rest of the members of the contingent.

Sanjitha, the two-time Commonwealth Games gold medallists (2014, 2018) who was provisionally suspended by the IWF after testing positive for testosterone in May 2018 and cleared in 2020 after the charge was dropped, is making a comeback.

Tsitsipas qualifies for ATP Finals; joins Nadal, Alcaraz, Ruud LONDON, SEP 30 (IANS): Stefanos Tsitsipas has become the fourth men’s singles player to qualify for the ATP Finals, joining Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz and Casper Ruud for the season finale, which will be held for the second consecutive year at the Pala Alpitour in Turin from November 13-20.

The 24-year-old clinched his spot on Friday as a result of other matches.

Four spots remain in the singles field of the year-end championships. It will be Tsitsipas’ fourth consecutive appearance at the ATP Finals. He captured the ATP Finals trophy in 2019 when he triumphed at The O2 in London. In that edition, he defeated Dominic Thiem for the trophy. The Greek star has enjoyed a consistent 2022 season.

Tsitsipas made a quick start in Australia, where he advanced to the semifinals of the Australian Open.

Korea Open: Nishioka stuns Casper Ruud to reach semifinals

Yoshihito Nishioka

SEOUL (SOUTH KOREA), SEP 30 (IANS): Yoshihito Nishioka earned just the second Top-5 win of his career on Friday, when he upset World No. 2 Casper Ruud 6-2, 3-6, 6-2 to reach the semifinals at the Korea Open Tennis Championships, here.

The Japanese star looked in control throughout the one-hour, 57-minute clash as he out-maneuvered the Norwegian

with his variety, striking 32 winners and committing just 14 unforced errors to earn the biggest win of his season.

The 27-year-old, who downed Daniel Evans and Taro Daniel in straight sets earlier this week, will next play Mackenzie McDonald or American lucky loser Aleksandar Kovacevic as he aims to advance to his second tour-level final of the season.

Nishioka enjoyed a run to the championship match in Washington, where he lost to Nick Kyrgios. The top-seed Ruud defeated Nicolas Jarry in his opening match at the ATP 250 event, with his victory earning him qualification for the 2022 ATP Finals. He was unable to match Nishioka’s consistency, though, in their second ATP head-to-head meeting.

Earlier, fourth seed Denis Shapovalov soared past Moldovan Radu Albot 6-2, 6-2 in 73 minutes.

The 23-year-old Canadian did not face a break point and has now improved his quarter-final record this season to 2-3. Shapovalov, who reached the semifinal in Dubai in February, will next meet Jenson Brooksby after the eighth-seeded American received a walkover from second seed Cameron Norrie.

Women’s group calls on FIFA to kick Iran out of WC

Vietnam Open: India’s N. SikkiRohan reach mixed doubles semis

HONG KONG, SEP 30 ( AG E N C I E S ) : R i g h t s group Open Stadiums have called on FIFA to throw Iran out of the World Cup finals in Qatar in November because of the country’s treatment of women.

In a letter sent to FIFA President Gianni Infantino on Thursday, the organisation said Iranian authorities continued to refuse to allow female fans access to games inside the country despite pressure from the game’s governing body.

“The Iranian FA is not only an accomplice of the crimes of the regime. It is a direct threat to the security of female fans in Iran and wherever our national team plays in the world. Football should be a safe space for us all,” the letter said.

The same structure is in place for the firstround victories - with USD 40,000 available to those who win each of the 12 games, amounting to USD 480,000. The four teams knocked out in the first round will get USD 40,000 each.

Teams whose campaigns begin in the first round are Namibia, the Netherlands, 2014 champions Sri Lanka, the United Arab Emirates, Ireland, Scotland, two-time champions the West Indies and Zimbabwe.

TEL AVIV, SEP 30 (IANS): The 88-time tour-level titlist Novak Djokovic cruised past Spaniard Pablo Andujar 6-0, 6-3 to reach the quarterfinals of the Tel Aviv Watergen Open here on Thursday.

He has wasted no time finding his top form after more than two months away and it was the fewest games Djokovic has lost in any match this season.

In his first match back at the Laver Cup, Djokovic performed at a similarly high level in a straight-sets victory against US Open semifinalist Frances Tiafoe, before suffering an upset loss to Felix Auger-Aliassime.

The Indian pair, which came into the BWF Super 100 badminton event winning the India Chhattisgarh International Challenge 2022 last week, took 39 minutes to defeat their higherranked opponents 21-19, 21-17 in the quarterfinals.

Until the first break, there was little that separated the two teams. From the N. Sikki Reddy scores 11-11, the Malaysians stepped up to build a three- N. Sikki and Rohan won point at 17-14. Thereafter, seven of the following nine

The Serbian showed no ill effects from that defeat in Israel. Djokovic broke Andujar’s serve four times and did not face a break point to

triumph after one hour and 27 minutes. He will next play Canadian Vasek Pospisil, who eliminated Israeli qualifier Edan Leshem 6-3,

6-2 behind nine aces and three service breaks.

Djokovic last competed in Israel in 2006 in a Davis Cup tie when he was a teenager. But the 35-year-old looked at home on the indoor hard court, answering all of the questions Andujar posed without problem.

Andujar is a fourtime ATP Tour titlist who reached the fourth round of the US Open in 2019, the third round at Flushing Meadows in 2021 and the third round of the Australian Open this year. But whether he tried to control the action or throw in drop shots and angles, Djokovic was always a step ahead.

With his back against the wall, Arthur Rinderknech survived on Thursday at the Tel Aviv Watergen Open to reach the quarter-finals at the ATP 250 event. The Frenchman saved one match point en route to a 6-3, 2-6, 7-6(7) win against third seed Diego Schwartzman in Israel.

In a tight first meeting between the pair, the 27-year-old held his nerve in the third-set tie-break.

The World No. 58 saved one match point on Schwartzman’s serve at 6/7, before eventually converting his second match point to advance after two hours and 38 minutes.

points to make it 1-0.

The second game continued to be a close contest with the Indian pair trailing 11-10 at the break. However, like the first game, a series of consecutive points from Sikki and Rohan ultimately helped them seal the contest.

The Indian duo of Reddy and Kapoor will take on the world No. 35 pair of Lisa Ayu Kusumawati and Rehan Naufal Kusharjanto of Indonesia in the semifinals on Saturday. They are India’s only remaining challenge at the Vietnam Open.

Eng beat Pak by 8 wickets to level series 3-3 LAHORE, SEP 30 (AGENCIES): Phil Salt smashed a robust career-best 41-ball 88 not out to help England thrash Pakistan by eight wickets in the sixth Twenty20 international in Lahore on Friday.

The England opener clobbered three sixes and 13 fours in the third fastest half century by an England batter in the shorter format to help his team chase down a target of 170 in just 14.3 overs.

Salt’s fiery knock overshadowed Babar Azam’s 59-ball 87 not out that lifted the home team to 169-6 and saw Pakistan skipper equalling India star Virat Kohli’s record of the fastest man to 3,000 runs in cricket’s shortest format. England’s victory tied the seven-match series 3-3 with an intriguing final match in Lahore on Sunday.

The Pakistan skipper, who hit his 27th half century, reached 3,000 T20I runs in 81 innings as he anchored the home team’s total after they were sent in to bat.

Azam hit Richard Gleeson for a six to join Indian duo of Rohit Sharma (3,694 runs in 140 matches) and Kohli (3,663 in 108), New Zealand’s Martin Guptill (3,497 in 112) and Ireland’s Paul Stirling (3,011 in 114) in passing the milestone.

Azam hit three sixes and seven fours and added 48 for the fourth wicket with Iftikhar Ahmed (31) and 47 for the third with Haider Ali (18). Sam Curran (2-26) and David Willey (2-32) were the successful England bowlers.

England are on their first tour of Pakistan for 17 years.
