NEW DELHI, APR 25 (AGENCIES): Two senior judges of the Supreme Court, Justices Ranjan Gogoi and M B Lokur, have urged the Chief Justice of India to hold a full court to discuss the institutional issues plaguing the higher judiciary.

The letter was written a day before Rajya Sabha Chairman Venkaiah Naidu rejected the opposition impeachment notice against Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra.

The issue raised in the letter is understood to have come up on Monday morning at the tea meeting attended by all the judges, which had delayed the start of the day’s court proceedings by about 15 minutes.

Sources said that Justices Gogoi and Lokur signed the joint two-line letter on April 22 in which they spoke about holding of a “full court”.

The same issue was for the first time raised by Justice J Chelameswar on March 21, which was fol-

lowed by a similar missive on April 9 by Justice Kurian Joseph who had sought the setting up of a bench of seven senior most judges to deal with the issues plaguing the top court.

The short letter by Justices Gogoi and Lokur urged the CJI convene a full court on the judicial side to discuss institutional issues and the “future” of the top court, they said.

As per convention, a full court meeting of the Supreme Court, involving all judges, is usually convened by the CJI when a matter of public importance relating to the judiciary comes up.

The Monday morning tea meeting of all the judges was held just after Naidu had announced rejection of the impeachment notice.

Sources said the CJI did not say anything about the outcome of the meeting, especially relating to the full court.

However, Justices Gogoi and Lokur were of the view of leaving behind the

issue of impeachment and moving forward by holding a discussion among the judges to overcome the issues plaguing the highest judiciary. Justice Gogoi is the next in line to take over the mantle of the CJI from Chief Justice Misra who retires on October 2.

Irked over the government’s delay in clearing the Collegium’s recommendation to elevate a judge and a senior woman advocate to the apex court, Justice Joseph had also written to the CJI contending that the “very life and existence” of the institution was “under threat” and a “surgical intervention” is required.

He had requested the CJI to set up a bench of seven senior-most judges to take up the matter of appointments to its logical conclusion.

In his letter to all the judges on March 21, Justice Chelameswar had urged the CJI to convene a full court to take up the issue of alleged executive interference in judiciary.

DVC refutes DCCF charges of fund misuse DIMAPUR, APR 25 (NPN): Diphupar Village Council (DVC) has refuted the Diphupar Communities Chairmen Forum (DCCF)’s allegations of misappropriation of fund meant for village development allegedly by members of DVC, GBs and village development board (VDB) members.

In a rejoinder, DVC chairman Lanutoshi, and secretary, E Philip Lotha, said the village council having gone through the report considered that it would be prudent not to react to the allegations through a rejoinder as the matter was sub judice before the office of the extra assistant commissioner (EAC), Chumukedima.

However, DVC said that to set to the records straight it refutes all the allegations leveled by the “so called Diphupar Communities Chairmen Forum.”

Meanwhile, DVC has assured to assist and cooperate with the administration and public “to justify its stand with all the fact and figures.”

Since Diphupar village was a government recognized village and guided by Nagaland Village Council Act 1978, Nagaland VDB Model Rule 1980 and MGNREGA 2005, the village council said it was bounden duty of DVC to cooperate with the government in respect of its policies and plans formulated by the government. Further, DVC expressed hope that once the case was heard in the court of EAC Chumukedima, the matter would be resolved and set to rest.

and crusher units need to be closed down immediately. If these destructive activities are not stopped immediately, then there is a high risk of Kaziranga National Park may lose its corridor and habitat connectivity with the larger Karbi Anglong landscape permanently.

“Lack of corridors and habitat contiguity for wildlife dispersal will have serious implications for long-term conservation of wide ranging species like tigers and Indian elephants of Kaziranga Tiger Reserve,” the NTCA said.

The NTCA report was submitted to the state government in response to a complaint by wildlife activist Rohit Choudhury seeking action against illegal and rampant stone mining activities in the Karbi Anglong Hills adjoining Kaziranga National Park (KNP) and Tiger Reserve.

The complainant had alleged that significant environmental degradation and habitat destruction has been happening in the foothills of Karbi Anglong hills,

which is a prime elephant habitat and also part of the Kaziranga-Karbi Anglong Elephant Reserve.

Suggesting a slew of measures, the NTCA has recommended constitution of a committee by the Ministry of Environment and Forests to review all permissions and clearances given to all stone crushing, quarrying and mining units operating in the Kaziranga–Karbi Anglong landscape.

“The Assam Forest Department may take necessary steps for preparation of Tiger Conservation Plan for core, buffer and corridor and for notifying Eco-sensitive Zone around Kaziranga National Park & Tiger Reserve,” it said.

The NTCA also said that keeping in view the long-term conservation of mega herbivores like Indian rhinoceros, India elephant and mega carnivores such as tiger, “the Kaziranga Tiger Reserve boundary may be rationalised by including areas of Karbi-Anglong adjoining Kaziranga,” NTCA recommended.

Agartala, Apr 25 (PTI): The Central Bureau of Investigation today questioned former Tripura minister Bijita Nath in connection with the Rose Valley chit fund scam.

Nath was the social welfare minister in the previous Manik Sarkar government in the state.

“They questioned me on the Rose Valley issue.

This time they recorded my statement, stating that earlier they had questioned me but did not record the statement,” she told PTI. Nath was grilled by the CBI in connection with the scam in June last year.

A CBI sleuth questioned her at her official residence at the MLA hostel here. Her lawyer Horibal Debnath, who was present in the MLA hostel during the questioning, told reporters that she was questioned as a witness and not as an accused. Tripura Speaker Rebati Mohan Das yesterday said the CBI had informed him that it would quiz Nath and another senior CPI(M) MLA s Badal Choudhury, in connection with the multi-crore Rose Valley chit fund scam.

However, the then Okram Ibobi Singh-led government withdrew the bill following a violent protest rejecting the bill. The JCILPS spearheading the agitation alleged that the bill had nothing to do with the protection of the indigenous people of the state.

“We have witnessed a mass uprising as after the bill was passed by the Assembly as the bill turned out to be an instrument to protect the outsiders, we would not tolerate if any bill that will not be accepted by the people is introduced”, Manjit said.

The JCILPS Students’ Wing convener said this during a drive to check the identities of the non-local fruit vendors at Imphal’s Thangal Bazar today.

During the drive, activists of JCILPS alleged that even though authority of Manipur government evicted street vendors, particularly women vendors in the market areas of Imphal, non-local fruit vendors in front of Bhairodan Maxwell Primary and High School of Thangal Bazar were selling fruits freely without any restriction.

Mukhi will swear in seven more ministers — five of BJP and one each of coalition partners Asom Gana Parishad and Bodoland People’s Front. The expansion had been put on hold because of a lack of consensus with AGP and BJP on the number of berths in the expanded cabinet. The two regional parties, currently with two berths each, had demanded two more. While the BJP has 61 seats, AGP had won 14 and the BJP 12 in the 2016 Assembly election. “The cabinet expansion was long overdue. We hope to improve our governance with the induction of the new faces,” said Chief Minister Sonowal. Except for Chan-

dan Brahma of BPF and Phani Bhushan Choudhury of AGP, all the new ministers would be first-timers. They include BJP’s Guwahati East MLA Siddhartha Bhattacharya, who had preceded Mr Sonowal as the president of the party’s State unit. “I am a fielder in the cricket field of governance. I will field anywhere the captain asks me to, whether in the slips, or gully, or mid-on, or third man,” said Mr. Bhattacharya. “I am thankful to our party’s State and Central leadership for giving me the responsibility,” said Tapan Kumar Gogoi, former All Assam Students’ Union leader and BJP’s legislator from Sonari.

Arunchal MP urges PM to raise stapled visa issue with Xi Itanagar, Apr 25 (PTI): Lok Sabha MP from Arunachal Pradesh Ninong Ering Wednesday pleaded Prime Minister Narendra Modi to raise with Chinese President Xi Jingping the issue of China providing stapled visa to people of the state.

Modi is scheduled to meet Xi at China’s Wuhan city on April 27 and 28 to discuss issues of mutual concern.

The Cong ress MP from Arunachal East constituency in a letter to the Prime Minister said, “the issue of China providing stapled visa to people of Arunachal Pradesh is not new and must be brought to their attention tactfully”.

“The Government of India must assert the territorial integrity of India and convey the feelings of the people of Arunachal in a firm manner,” he said in his letter.

While welcoming the move for a positive dialogue with China, Ering said that dialogues are the best way to

bring peaceful and meaningful solution to problems.

“At many instances in recent time, Chinese troops have tried to enter into Arunachal Pradesh and build roads, recently in Bising village of Tuting subdivision.

“You must protest against such incidents and ask China to respect sovereignty and territorial integrity of India for a peaceful co-existence, as envisaged in historical Panchsheel agreement,” Ering said in the letter.

He said, a few months back, the Siang River, which is the lifeline of the state, turned black due to ill-intent projects and diversion of waters of Brahmaputra river by the Chinese authorities.

“The focus of the government must be on negotiating a water treaty with China for the sustainable development of the region.

It will help the north-eastern states of India to have their natural right of clean and continuous water,” the MP said.

Life term to Asaram in minor’s rape case; two others get 20-yr jail

J O D H PUR , APR 2 5 (IANS): A Special Court in Jodhpur on Wednesday convicted self-styled godman Asaram for raping a minor girl at his ashram in Rajasthan in 2013 and sentenced him to a prison term for life till his natural death.

The judgment was pronounced by Special Judge for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe cases, Madhu Sudan Sharma, inside the Jodhpur Central Jail, where Asaram is lodged. The court also awarded 20 years in jail each to Shilpi, the warden of Asaram’s ashram, and associate Sharad.

The court, however, acquitted Asaram’s ‘sevadar’ Shiva and cook Prakash.

Asaram was arrested in 2013 after the then 16year-old girl from Uttar

Accused Asaram Pradesh’s Shahjahanpur, a Class 12 student at his Chhindwara Ashram in Madhya Pradesh, filed a complaint and accused him of rape at his ashram in Manai village on the Jodhpur outskirts on August 15, 2013. “Asaram has been sentenced to life imprisonment till natural death... Shilpi and Sharad have also been directed

to pay Rs one lakh fine each,” said defence lawyer Sushma Dhara, adding an appeal would be filed in the Rajasthan High Court against the judgment and for Asaram’s bail.

The 77-year-old godman and two others were convicted under Section 376D of the Indian Penal Code, the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act and the Juvenile Justice (JJ) Act, the 474-page judgment said.

The defence lawyer said that Asaram appeared normal in the court but became sad and worried when the court convicted him.

Talking to reporters outside his house in Shahjahanpur in uttar Pradesh, the victim’s father welcomed the court verdict and said “their struggles and ordeal during the period they were

seeking justice tested their grit but they had full faith in the judicial system”.

The Communist Party of India-Marxist welcomed the judgment and demanded justice for three witnesses -- godman’s former aide Amrut Prajapati, cook Akhil Gupta and Kripal Singh -- who were shot dead in separate incidents between June 2014 and June 2015.

“Nine witnesses were attacked, of which three died... the courts should ensure that the other related cases, including those of killing of witnesses, should also be completed without delay,” a CPI-M statement said. The CPI-M said Asaram deserved the strongest punishment, adding that “the victim girl is a symbol of the fight against sexual exploitation”.

(From p-1) historic 16 Point Agreement provided that the State would require Central grants for meeting administrative expenses as well as development.

The delegation members pointed out that the development requirements of Nagaland were met by liberal grants for many years under State Plan by way of additional Central Plan assistance or SPA, all of which stopped after NITI Aayog replaced Planning Commission.Even enhancement of devolution by 14th Finance Commission did not have any additional positive impact on finances of the State, it being revenue deficit, they pointed out.

Asserting that had there been no enhancement in devolution, Nagaland would ironically have got a much larger revenue deficit grant, the delegation explained that the State was actually receiving share in Central taxes at much lower rate than what was computed by the 14th Finance Commission due to much lesser realisation of Central taxes vis-à-vis what was estimated by the commission, because of which there is a huge budgetary deficit. There are no resources available to meet the State share for availing CSS and for developing the State, it claimed. Pointing out that people of Nagaland had agreed to participate in the last Assembly election only in anticipation of a quick solution to the Naga political issue, which also hinders the State’s development, the delegation also appealed for an immediate solution to the long-pending issue.

Mumbai, Apr 25 (PTI): Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray today lashed out at the Maharashtra government led by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, saying it was “good for nothing”, and demanded a separate Home minister for the state. At present, Fadnavis holds the Home portfolio.

Thackeray’s comments came after a local Sena leader, Sachin Sawant, was shot dead on April 22. Prior to it, two Shiv Sena leaders were shot dead earlier this month in Ahmednagar district after the result of a civic bypoll there was announced.

“The Fadnavis government is good for nothing. The situation here is worse than that in Bihar. It is now time the government appoints a separate Home minister for the state,” Thackeray said, addressing reporters in Ahmednagar (From p-1) district.

Simmering reminder

t was quite interesting to note that the government of India has lifted/withdrawn the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act completely from Meghalaya and from some areas in Arunachal Pradesh. However other states continue to remain under the boots of the AFSPA, which include- Nagaland, the state with the longest running currency of the draconian Act imposed since the mid-50s and Assam and Manipur. Events during the past two decades indicate that violence involving insurgents and armed forces has come down drastically in the region following the improvement of the environment especially in the light of cease fire agreements with various outfits. In a way, the announcement on AFSPA may be welcomed in Meghalaya and in those areas in Arunachal Pradesh where it has been lifted. However, viewed from a general perspective, the announcement about AFSPA serves as a grim reminder that people living in the region continue to be neglected except as to be “administered/ruled” through such draconian measures.

The Act was withdrawn from all of Tripura in 2015, where, according to most accounts, insurgency has been wiped out entirely. In Tripura, the state police under the able and effective governance of the then ruling Left government, had been successful in launching anti-militant operations without the draconian Act. The way Tripura under the Left was able to efficiently use its police force is testimony to the belief the khaki force can be effective if not more, in tackling their own people without causing hardship or fatalities because the men were accountable to the state government. That should be an example for many other disturbed areas in the country. On the other hand, whenever security forces continued to respond to the situations, there have been allegations, some very serious in nature, which have gone unaddressed since AFSPA shields the uniformed personnel from any court action. A case in point is the developing situation in Jammu & Kashmir. Several days back, at a conference of security agencies, it was pointed out that peace should be ushered by conducting operations in a manner that greatly minimises collateral damage. In responding to the Centre’s tit-for-tat policy from 2016, the situation in J&K has deteriorated much due when the civilian population became more alienated. The AFSPA has become synonymous with the north east as much as insurgency. If AFSPA is so necessary to tackle armed rebels/insurgents etc, then it defies logic because the government of India has not found fit to impose this Act in Naxal/Maoist-infested states where hundreds of armed personnel were killed during the recent decades. In contrast, the fatalities on armed personnel in the north east is minimal. If the government of India does not need AFSPA to tackle the brutal and hardened Maoists/ Naxals, then should it persist with the Act in the north east, which even by the Army’s own admission, the situation is largely peaceful? It does not mean that just because AFSPA is in force today, armed personnel will do as they please without fear of the law. The law at best is useful in the short run to handle an intense disturbance. Beyond a point, it is likely to turn counter-productive. The sagacity of a government lies in identifying that point.

DailyDevotion “Ready in Season” Be ready in season and out of season.

—2 Timothy 4:2 Many of us suffer from the unbalanced tendency to “be ready” only “out of season.” The season does not refer to time; it refers to us. This verse says, “Preach the Word! Be ready in season and out of season.” In other words, we should “be ready” whether we feel like it or not. If we do only what we feel inclined to do, some of us would never do anything.

There are some people who are totally unemployable in the spiritual realm. They are spiritually feeble and weak, and they refuse to do anything unless they are supernaturally inspired. The proof that our relationship is right with God is that we do our best whether we feel inspired or not.

One of the worst traps a Christian worker can fall into is to become obsessed with his own exceptional moments of inspiration. When the Spirit of God gives you a time of inspiration and insight, you tend to say, “Now that I’ve experienced this moment, I will always be like this for God.” No, you will not, and God will make sure of that. Those times are entirely the gift of God. You cannot give them to yourself when you choose. If you say you will only be at your best for God, as during those exceptional times, you actually become an intolerable burden on Him. You will never do anything unless God keeps you consciously aware of His inspiration to you at all times. If you make a god out of your best moments, you will find that God will fade out of your life, never to return until you are obedient in the work He has placed closest to you, and until you have learned not to be obsessed with those exceptional moments He has given you.

What about the state’s oldest polytechnic institute?

n a welcoming step undertaken by the new PDA government another new Polytechnic Institute at Seithekema, Dimapur has been recently inaugurated inorder to meet the growing needs of our youths and students in the field of technical education. Such strides are truly heartening because it not only shows that we are progressing and moving ahead but also enabling our younger Naga lots to avail the opportunity of getting educated at our own place and arming them with the knowledge of tools and skills which will provide required manpower resources from our own domestic front. Opening such institutes contributes a lot in empowering our local youth in self employment and opening avenues for themselves.

It saves a lot of expenses for the students and the family and gives a boost to our own local economy too. It is said that polytechnics constitute a very important segment of technical education. In this age of increasing competitions and fast pace developments, many expanding companies are always on the lookout for young people to recruit those who possess the right technical skills to meet the ever growing need of the escalating market demands. While a new polytechnic institute has been inaugurated last year at Kiphire by the previous NPF government, the one recently inaugurated at Seithekema, Dimapur will also start its civil engineering batches in July 2018. There are still some more approved at places such as Peren,Tuensang, Phek, Peren, Mon(Aboi) and Wokha which shows equal development and opportunities for all the districts. The future looks promising and bright as the state Deptt. of Technical Education hopes to generate around 2000 diplomas graduates by the year 2020.

But one sad factor here is the utter negligence of our state’s oldest Polytechnic Institute, Khelhoshe Polytechnic Atoizu, commonly known as (KPA) which was established in 1972. The state’s first and the oldest polytechnic institute is yet to be upgraded to a full fledged engineering degree institute even though it is nearing its almost fifty years shortly. This institute suffers

O

f l a t e, we h ave been spectators of various modes and forms of opinions and views transcribed into interpretations ranging from allegories intended to construe trivial gossips of accounts the author found relevant at his/her discretion; issuing summons and countering summons; portraying philosophical human values and virtues-with or without coherent conceptualizationdepending on case of the writers in point; vivid and sublime illustration of social and political realities; discourses on pressing issues perceived of being decisive in sealing the fate of our political reality. In general, there has been two ways through which opinion relating to entice political fervor were combusted in the interpretations, for the people to conceive attention to the narratives, the authors were relaying.

One such way was, through usage of the subjective features of Naga identity and historical labels, and reimbursing the dialogue in idealistic tongue that appeared to have been profound and lustrous on the surface, but lacks attachment in the roots of disparities entrenched in our despair that exist within folds of our reality… and sketches a superficial out-

from manifold setbacks and glitches. It is time we give due importance to it also without any bias or partiality.

Though the state cabinet on December 17, 2007 has made a decision to upgrade the institution to an engineering college, till now, even after a lapse of a decade nothing has been done so far. Our present Sumi legislators irrespective of party colours should also give a serious thought and take responsibility on this issue and finish the task ahead of them instead of letting dust accumulate over the files as in the past. Despite being tagged as an ‘Advance Tribe’ ‘Major Tribe’, the statistics of our school and college drop-outs shows a dismal figure and a really depressing picture. The result of such high number of dropouts and lack of skill development amongst the youths in our Sumi community has also been one of the main factor for the ever rising number of anti-socials and delinquents which brings much disgrace to the community from time to time .The crumbling infrastructures of the KPA as a result of the long unresolved tussle over land acquisition and price issue between the landowners and the state government have proved to be a thorn in the flesh of this state’s oldest polytechnic institute.

A proper coordination and sound mechanism between the NGOs, government and land owners is the need of the hour to revive and oil the rusting engines of the institute. If this institute has been upgraded, it would benefit not only the local populace but the entire state as well, as it has enough space for expansion. Also students from poor financial backgrounds who cannot afford to go to other towns and cities to pursue their educational goals will truly gain from the upgradation of the institute. But spate of robberies and thefts has spoiled the conducive environment of the campus which the community leaders and local authorities should look into it if this institute is to grow and flourish to its name as the one premiere and the oldest polytechnic institute of the state otherwise the search for more secure and safer environment will lead to a mass exodus not long from now where only the depilated buildings and

the broken infrastructural mains of ‘once was so’ will be the testimony. Instances of threatening faculty members by overgrounds and incidents of extortion by underground have to be stopped by any means if the local populace wants others to come, feel secure and enjoy working there at the institute. Campus security too should be provided for the safety of both the faculty and students as demanded from time to time by faculty and students. There have been several instances of incidents which have spurred the reputation of the community by few individuals which have to be avoided at all costs. We Sumis should also learn lessons from those past happenings. Making others feel at home by providing a peaceful atmosphere will be beneficial to everyone but more to Sumi ourselves in the long run. Frequent blackouts and power outages have made both the students and the faculties victims. Due to this they have to suffer from untold ordeals in their practicals, workshops, computer s and technical related works as it all comes to grinding halt due to this problem.

With our new energetic and a dynamic higher and technical minister at the helm under a new government in the state now, may justice be delivered to this premiere and the oldest technical institute in the state based on genuine concern of the student community in particular and Nagas in general and award the same benefits in par along with other technical institutes.

Empowering our student community is creating assets for ourselves and our own state for our future. Issue like the land compensation should be hammered out at the earliest with the tribal hohos and community elders taking the role of a mediator so the suffering of our young students are resolved at the earliest. The drain of wealth from our little state outside is quiet enormous. Whatever amount of money sent by the centre to the state, much of it is pumped outside on educational pursuits and also due to lack of the absence of self-reliant economy. But thanks to our new minister, as he seems to understand all the nitty-gritty details of

Remembering Rev. Aheto Sema

our present scenario. In the pursuit of higher education crores of many are spent outside due to lack of infrastructural facilities and the required resources. In the past negligence, incompetence and lackaisidical from higher -ups have led to further deterioration of the institution. Tussle over non-payment of wages of fixed pay employees between the teaching faculty and the higher authorities over nonpayment of their wages have only added salt in the wound of this old polytechnic institute. But at the end it is the students who have to bear the brunt of all these mess and disorder. Such situations have created more problems than solutions.

At the same time the landowners need to shed off old attitudes and consider themselves as truly fortunate to have such a premiere institute in their own place.

The land compensation issue pending between the land donors and the state government should be resolved by the Sumi Hoho playing as the role of the mediator. The state government should also be unbiased and impartial.

All parties should honour the terms and conditions of the agreement and upkeep their word in a true letter and in spirit of a gentleman’s promise. They should amicably resolve any issues across the table thereof.

The local populace should regard having this oldest and the first polytechnic institute as a blessing that this institute had been placed in their hearth since the time when our state was in its early formative years. Upgrading the KPA will surely add another feather for the state and thus the youths may get equipped with technical and creative skills take up any challenges to sustain themselves in these challenging times instead of falling into other undesirable ways where they become a burden to the society instead of becoming an asset. We believe the new government will surely usher in the Change which it heralded. A hope for new visionary, pragmatic and progressive governance is required. Only then we can truly say that Change has indeed come into our land.

While trying to come to term with the reality of his departure and the lacuna so created by his absence, the Pochury people did not know which way to go and whom to turn to. It was during that time Rev. Aheto, who was earlier the translation advisor of the Pochury Bible translator, came to Meluri from the Bible Society of India (BSI) office, Shillong to meet with the people of Pochury and resuscitate the dying translation project from its ICU. Having consulted with the tribal leadership, Rev Aheto came to my house and persuaded me to take up the challenging task of completing the partially completed translation. It was our first meeting and yet I had no qualms sharing my standpoint with him on a number of subjects.

So friendly and thoughtful was he that I began to look upon him as my own Pochury brother.

After a brief exchange of opinions, seeing his willingness to make concession for me to work on the project alongside my regular teaching assignment at Shalom Bible Seminary, I expressed my readiness to work with him.

The following year my work began and it took me nearly five years to complete the project, much longer than I expected. With his support and encouragement, the first complete version of the Pochury Naga Bible was published and released on September 24, 2014. The difficulties associated with the work of Bible translation is best known by those who have involved themselves personally in it. Rev. Aheto gave me a lot of freedom and flexibility to work according to my convenience. Aware of the practical difficulties involved in making frequent travel to Shillong, he would make all the arrangement and come to me and offer all the necessary technical assistance I needed. It takes an advisor of great humility and understanding like Rev. Aheto to climb down from his position and meet me in the comfort of my own house. Had it not been for his personal interest and love for the people of Pochury, the desire to have a Bible in our own language would remain a distant dream even to this day.

In my years of working with a wide range of people from different backgrounds, I have come across few people who are as readily available and easily approachable as Rev. Aheto. His love for the Word of God and the people of Pochury is unmistakably evident from my personal experience of having worked under him for a period of five years. A humble, sincere, and committed servant of God Rev. Aheto was, the people of Pochury will remain deeply indebted to him for his leadership in the successful translation of the Bible. In his demise, his family has lost a loving father and a husband. Me? I have lost a dear brother!

Rev. Aheto was the Youth Secretary of WSBAK at the time of his departure from this world.

On this sad occasion, as our Sema brothers and sisters bid their final adieu to this dear servant of God, the people of Pochury, particularly the Pochury Baptist Church Council (PBCC), stand in solidarity with them and mourn the dead of Rev. Aheto. To his dear wife and children, we convey our heartfelt condolence and pray for solace from our heavenly Father. May the God who feeds the sparrows and care for the lilies be there by your side at all time to meet all your needs.

Rev. Rümatho Nyusou, Executive Secretary, Pochury Baptist Church Council

On matters of practical discourses

line of what may be “soothingly sounding pleasing and convincing”, fetching away from sketching objective realistic conditions we have been presented by [by aftermath residue of past shadows] and addressing in faith and sensibly to the people of “what things are” and “how to intercept to the yearning of the people.”

In the later, the writers attempted to illustrate the pictures of reality of “what things are” and “what should be done - if the aspiration of the people has been compromised the remedial measures to intercept the problem and stabilize reality.”

Our present political nature demands of effects; right way to engage with our immediate territorial neighbors, for without establishing a sense of right in diplomatic ties, how do we expect the diversity of human creed to trust and have faith in us, and in receiving equally on both ends... with profound titles of appeasement but lacking social interactive infrastructure to facilitate practical modes for confrontation, because let’s not miscalculate the reality, there is going to be confrontation - there is no escaping this. And unless a platform for pragmatic peaceful and sensible course of interaction is devised… we never

know. High ideals have always been propagated by philosophers and influential personalities across the corners of the world throughout history. But merely lofty ideas for peace have never bore fruition in the grand scheme of things, or lasted consistently - an inherent flaw in the human nature which every human adult can grasp.

International law has existed predating UN and even First World War. “The current order of international law, the equality of sovereignty between nations, was formed through the conclusion of the “Peace of Westphalia” in 1648.

International law is the set of rules generally regarded and accepted as binding in relations between states and between nations. It serves as a framework for the practice of stable and organized international relations. International law differs from state-based legal systems in that it is primarily applicable to countries rather than to private citizens.

National law may become international law when treaties delegate national jurisdiction” - [Source: Wikipedia].

Thus, in order to circumvent settling and resolving the Naga issue both in international and national community and forum, it

is not deliberately sought per se, but necessitates the formulation of reason and rationalization of human intrinsic components that reverberates with fellow humans and the environment, during the consensus, to achieve conglomeration comprehension to conclude a chapter of territorial and natural prejudices harbored among sections of people endorsed by long dissent, resulting from non-prevailing modes for right peaceful measure of confrontation… and, furnishing the pages to write chapters of diverse ethos of humans, finding clarity and embarking forward towards the right future in human history.

A faith that is not confined within the limits of periodical diplomatic engagement… but the kind of faith, people seek to endeavor in normal day routine to establish social bonds among people. Bonds that do not reflect shorttermed enthusiasm of policies - to engross in projects and confining orientation within its perimeter, but social bonds among governments and peoples that envisages collective effort for assailment to tackle and take measure of problems our global population faces, from environmental to socio-economic natural disasters - disasters of

natural order, which unless addressed and keened on, finds its natural course of way to damage our environment. Of course, the world leaders already participates in world summits to discuss on issues confronting global health… but to turn up a notch in excelling any row of discourses pertaining to global revitalization of general perception, is an episode of quest that would remain elusive in perfection, but improvement in pursuit.

But alas! The Naga brethren of today find ourselves, captivated in oozing

inflation of resolve and solidarity… where the people’s aspiration are being ostracized from political fronts and potential conceptions of political framework, from entities of notion foreign to people’s natural desire and awareness of not having being deceived and deprived of justice. Where the collective perception to promote common political will to herald equality, liberty, justice (in all folds)-has been materialized for reaping, and people are insured of their rights.

Reader’s Post

Sir,

Be more polite to general public

Most of the government employees in public offices, especially of lower grades, are found to be less accountable to the general public. Moreover, they are being found to be not polite to people when they are approached for certain matters in the office that sometimes irritate the citizens.

Therefore, the head of government offices are kindly requested to look into these matters and do the needful in order to assist and serve the public as desired. Public employees are also expected to be more polite and respectful to the general public in the days to come.

CBI cracks Kotkhai rape, murder case

Members of a college students union in Shimla protest the Kotkhai rape and murder on July 20, 2017.

New Delhi, Apr 25 (PTI): The CBI has arrested a 25-year-old woodcutter with a criminal past in connection with the rapeand-murder of a teenaged schoolgirl in the Kotkhai area of Shimla, after his DNA sample matched the genetic material found on the body of the victim and the crime scene, officials said today.

The findings of the agency will bring relief to the families of five people arrested earlier by the state police as the CBI has not found any evidence of their involvement in the gruesome rape-and-murder in July last year, which had become a rallying point against the then Congress

government in Himachal Pradesh.

T h e i nve s t i g a t i o n which went like a crime thriller involved a team of 40 CBI officials who camped in the area around the crime scene for nine months in extreme secrecy collecting intelligence from local people, digging records of people with criminal records and following various leads which took them to Kashmir and Uttarakhand as well.

The probe, which was taken over by the agency on July 22, 2017, on the orders of the Himachal Pradesh High Court, was monitored by the top brass of the agency. “The Director (of) CBI has been monitor-

ing the progress of the case from day one. He expressed the satisfaction at the work done by the investigative team and forensic experts of the CFSL of the CBI for solving a sensitive and difficult case,” CBI spokesperson Abhishek Dayal said here.

After ruling out involvement of five suspects arrested by the state police using call records analysis, narco-analysis, polygraph tests and corroboration of their alibi, the CBI had started the probe afresh, they said. The agency started work on multiple fronts -- some teams worked to develop rapport with locals trying to get intelligence while others did combing

operation of the forest area in concentric circles, the officials said.

The CBI officials spoke to over 1,000 people to get inputs and recorded statements of over 400 of them, they said.

On July 4, Anil Kumar who was allegedly in hiding and working in a nearby farm, was passing through that area when he spotted the minor girl who was returning from school after completing her sports meet there.

He overpowered her and allegedly raped and murdered her, the agency alleged. The Class X student had gone missing on July 4 and her naked body was recovered from Haliala forests in Kotkhai on July 6.

The accused was produced before a court in Shimla today and was sent to judicial custody.

In connection with its probe into the case, the CBI also arrested then Inspector General of Police (IGP) Z H Zaidi, then Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Manoj Joshi and six other policemen for the custodial death of one of the accused arrested earlier by the state police.

Zaidi was heading a Special Investigation Team (SIT) which was initially probing the rape-and-murder case.

ANATG appeals for service regularisation cation on fixed pay. ANATG said they were receiving a meagre amount of Rs. 6700 (primary teacher) and Rs. 8400 (graduate teacher) per month, which it lamented was very less. ANATG said they had also submitted sev-

eral representations, memorandum and ultimatums to the government on this issue, but justice has been denied till date. It has appealed to the government for their service regularisation and also ‘equal pay for equal work’.

State-wide mega mock drill today (From p-1) He advised NSDMA to ensure that all officers involved in the drill and control room have a proper system for timely and easy communication.

The DGP said heads of departments and administrative heads of departments should brief their staff in the districts about the exercise so that they remain prepared for the event.

KOHIMAS Hospital managing director Dr Tseilhoutou (Ato) suggested that NSDMA should procure choppers for emergency service and build a make-shift hospital considering that there are limited number of beds in private and government health centres.

He also called for imparting proper training to paramedics and doctors posted at various primary health centres.

Further, NSDMA has requested the following churches in Kohima to ring their church bells (for three minutes and a second bell after two minutes) at 10 a.m. to announce the beginning of the mock drill– Cathedral, Chakhesang Baptist Church Kitsubozou, Christian Revival Church Kohima Village, Christ King Parish, Peraciezie Baptist Church, Ao Baptist Arogo Paramedical, St. Francis De Sales Parish (CPC) and NBCC. The Kohima Village Ground will be the staging area and Kohima College ground will be the relief camp during the NEPEx, it added.

Meanwhile, NSDMA has informed that the roads and traffic in few locations in Kohima, Mokokchung and Dimapur will be blocked for an hour. In this regard, the public has been requested to bear with the inconveniences.

Gov calls for water conservation

(From p-1) Meanwhile, the governor has lauded the state chief minister, Neiphiu Rio, on spelling series of measures during in his address at the state level VDB and village council conference on April 24, at Kohima. Governor said he valued suggestion of the chief minister on the matter to penalise non-performing VDBs for slow progress and poor project implementation while rewarding those performing VDBs. He opined that transparency and accountability should be maintained for proper development and economic transformation of all villages in the state.

Acharya also appreciated the decision to call back all government employees from the boards. He said the literary percentages of the state at 78.55% indicated that all the 1238 villages should have at least one non-government employee, who was educated and can execute the role. Further, governor congratulated the VDBs of the state for being regarded as a role model for local self government and community participation across the country. “This is the foundation for a vibrant democracy,” Acharya added.

Mobile food laboratory...

(From p-1) Funded by Government of India and Food Safety & Standards Authority of India, the Food Safety on Wheels will be travelling across the State to check food samples on the spot.

Food testing in all districts Department of health & family welfare (H&FW) has directed the food testing team, state public health laboratory to conduct food testing activity on the spot, under central sector scheme “Food Safety on Wheels”- Mobile Food Testing Laboratory, in all the districts in a phase wise manner. In a directive, principal director & addl. food safety commissioner, H&FW, Dr. Meguosielie Kire, has informed all the responsible authorities to cooperate and assist the food testing team under their jurisdiction for proper implementation of the food testing activities in checking adulterants in food items in the interest of public health. The action plan would be carried out in coordination with the district administration, police, designated officer (CMOs), food safety officers and food business operators, it stated.

Traffic at Nagarjan bridge to be regulated

(From p-1) While it was expected that the bridge might not collapse since it was supported by multiple piers, the risk was still major. However, it was decided that since closing the bridge would cause great inconvenience for commuters, it was agreed to put up the height limiting height bars to ensure that only LMVs used the bridge. During the discussion, the chief minister directed the officials to ensure that heavy vehicles do not use the bridge and to be extra vigilant at night when heavy vehicles, seeking to avoid the main roads, may try to use it. The CM also directed the DC and Commissioner of Police to take whatever other steps they felt was necessary at their discretion. Er. Talitemsu also revealed that on October 24 last year, consultant experts based in Delhi, through the chief engineer’s office, had estimated that the bridge could be repaired at about 20 to 25 percent of the cost of a new bridge. The repairs would also increase the life of the bridge by about 35 to 50 years. However, the proposal, for whatever reason, was not pursued by the previous government, Er. Talitemsu said. If the proposal was taken now, the repairs would not be completed before the monsoons he added.

Bharti Infratel, Indus Tower to merge, own 1.63 lakh towers

New Delhi, Apr 25 (IANS): Highlighting the fact that JioPhone is already a meaningful contributor Reliance Jio’s growth, a recent survey estimates that total JioPhones sold so far could be close to around 40 million.

A survey by Credit Suisse on the Indian Telecom Sector said as suggested by recent media reports, JioPhone had 36 per cent share of the feature phone market for January-March quarter of 2018 on an expanded market base.

“This implies JioPhone sales of around 21 million for the quarter or roughly 7 million per month,” the survey said.

According to the report, the exit run-rate for March could be higher than this number since the Rs 49 plan got introduced in late January.

“Now compare this with net adds reported by Jio running at 8-9 million for January and February 2018 (March data is awaited -- we will likely get to see a higher number when company reports on

April 27),” it said.

“Overall, we conclude that JioPhone is already a meaningful contributor to growth for Jio. We estimate the total Jiophones sold so far could be close to around 40 million,” the report added.

The survey stated that it is difficult to gauge at this point whether Jio is eating into other’s share or adding to the pie with customers buying Jiophone as their secondary device.

“Given the mood in the incumbent camp on this topic (that is, not much alarm), the latter could be the more likely situation currently. Exit of smaller players (most recently Aircel) could be cushioning the blow for incumbents -- but that is a cushion that may not last for long,” it said.

The survey suggested that these trends, however, do indicate that JioPhone is a product that has passed the early adopter stage and is getting well accepted, and that should be a reason for worry for the incumbents.

PNB to locate untraceable borrowers NEW DELHI, Apr 25 (PTI): Fraud-hit Punjab National Bank (PNB) has invited applications for empanelment of detective agencies to locate its untraceable borrowers as it looks to “significantly” supplement efforts to recover bad loans which surged to Rs 57,519 crore at December end.

In its efforts to recover NPAs, the PNB has also resorted to ‘Gandhigiri’ wherein its staff hope to ‘name and shame’ defaulting borrowers to recover up to Rs 150 crore worth bad loans every month.

The Delhi-headquartered bank has been at the receiving end of the over Rs 13,000 crore fraud involving diamond merchants Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi.

PNB on Wednesday invited applications to empanel detective agencies with an aim to “significantly supplement efforts of the field officials in recovering bank’s dues in NPA accounts by utilising services of the detective agencies”, it said.

billion). Vodafone Group, Idea Celular and Providence Equity agreed to merge their respective shareholdings in Indus Towers into Bharti Infratel. Idea Group will sell its 11.15% shareholding based on a valuation formula for Rs 6,500 crore. The group can opt to receive shares in lieu of cash equivalent to 7.1 per cent of the combined entity on the basis that Providence also elects to get new shares in exchange for its full 4.85 per cent shareholding in Indus Towers. No lock-in period is envisaged for the shares. Vodafone will be issued 783.1 million new shares equivalent to its 42 per cent shareholding in Indus Towers.

Following the surge in global crude oil prices in recent weeks, the RBI may now prefer to opt for a rate hike sooner than later, the report said. “We now see RBI hiking the repo rate by 25 bps in June itself (to 6.25 percent), reversing the 25 bps rate cut of August last year, and likely hiking another 25 bps

SEOUL, APR 25 (IANS): South Korea and the US will push for a meeting between their Presidents Moon Jae-in and Donald Trump before the latter meets North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in May, the South Korean President’s office said on Wednesday. South Korea’s

National Security Advisor Chung Eui-yong and his US counterpart John Bolton met in Washington on Tuesday and agreed that Moon and Trump should exchange views after the Seoul-Pyongyang summit through a possible meeting between the two in May.

“They agreed that President Moon and President Trump will hold a telephone conversation immediately after the South-North Korea summit and share the outcome of the meet,” Presidential spokesperson Yoon Youngchan said in a press statement. “The two have also agreed to push for a meeting between the two Presidents before the US-North Korea summit,” he was cited as saying by Efe news.

The planned meeting between Moon and Trump is set to follow a historic summit between Seoul and Pyongyang -- to be held on Friday -- to discuss the denuclearization of North Korea. The bilateral sum-

mit will be the first between leaders of the two Koreas in 11 years and will be held on the border separating North and South. Trump had confirmed that he will meet Kim to discuss North Korea’s nuclear programme in late May or the beginning of June, although the venue and exact date of the summit is not announced.

After the White House announced its move to end the DACA in September, federal judges in California and New York blocked the administration’s plans and ordered it to renew work permits for immigrants enrolled in the programme.

Bates said “if the government does not come up with a better explanation within 90 days, he will rescind the government memo that terminated the programme and require Homeland Security to enrol new applicants, as well”.

Thousands could be eligible to apply.

“Each day that the agency delays is a day that aliens who might otherwise be eligible for initial grants of DACA benefits are exposed to removal because of an unlawful agency action,” the judge wrote.

In response to the ruling, the Justice Department said it stands by its original reasoning, calling the DACA an “unlawful circumvention of Congress”, and that it intends to continue making its case to the courts.

The cases were brought by the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACA), Microsoft, Princeton University and a student.

WASHINGTON, APR 25 (IANS): A US judge has labelled as “unlawful” President Donald Trump’s decision to rescind the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) programme protecting young illegal immigrants, and for the first time, ordered the government to reopen it to new applicants.

US District Judge John D. Bates on Tuesday called the government’s decision to end the DACA programme “virtually unexplained” and therefore “unlawful”. However, he stayed his ruling for 90 days to give the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) a chance to provide more solid reasoning for ending the programme, the Washington Post reported.

“DACA’s rescission was arbitrary and capricious because the Department failed adequately to explain its conclusion that the programme was unlawful,” Bates said.

Bates is the third judge to rule against Trump administration attempts to rescind the DACA, which provides two-year, renewable work permits and deportation protections for about 690,000 “dreamers”, undocumented immigrants brought to the US as

SAN FRANCISCO, APR 25 (IANS): More than one million children in the US fell victim to identity fraud in 2017, an American advisory firm has said in a report.

Javelin Strategy & Research, a research-based advisory firm that offers consulting business, said on Tuesday that about 39 per cent of children became victims of fraud, compared with 19 per cent of notified adults in 2017. It caused total losses of $2.6 billion and over $540 million in out-of-pocket costs to families, Xinhua news agency reported citing the report.

More than 60 per cent of child identity fraud victims personally knew the perpetrator while only seven per cent of adult victims of fraud knew their victimizer, the company said by referring to statistics from its online survey of 5,000 adults in 2017. Two-thirds of the children were under the age of eight and many of the perpetrators had legitimate access to the personal information of victims, it said.

The advisor y fir m found that minors bullied online were over nine times more likely to be victims of fraud than those who were not. “In many cases, fraud and bullying are not perpetrated by the same individual but arise from the same underlying vulnerabilities,” said Al Pascual, senior vice president of research and head of fraud and security at the company.

Avengers: Infinity War earns five-star reviews

T

he latest Avengers blockbuster is getting almost as many raves as it has superheroes, with one critic calling it “a supremely entertaining showdown”.

Avengers: Infinity War, writes The Guardian’s reviewer, is an “utterly confident comic-book movie mash-up.”

Featuring most of the characters from the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), it shows Iron Man, Black Panther et al unite against an apocalyptic threat.

Variety says the result - out in the UK on Thursday - is “bedazzling fun”.

Yet its critic does sug-

gest that having so many superheroes populate the same film “means they’re all less special”.

Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), the Incredible Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and the stars of Guardians of the Galaxy also feature in the two-anda-half hour film.

Their adversary is Thanos, a computer-generated villain who seeks to collect six “infinity stones” that give their owner power over reality, time and space.

Attendees at screenings held in central London on Wednesday were exhorted not to reveal details of the film’s plot that are not already in the public

domain. “Don’t spoil it for others, the same way you wouldn’t want it spoiled for you,” read a message written by the film’s sibling directors, Anthony and Joe Russo.

Critics are largely adhering to this request, though the Daily Mirror’s Chris Hunneysett gives away a few key details we won’t share here.

“Fans will be dumbfounded by the direction the movie takes the Marvel Cinematic Universe,” he writes in his five-star review.

According to Screen Daily, the film “boasts plenty of comic-book action while also making

room for a darker tone and emotional resonance”.

Total Film concurs, describing it as “an onslaught of action, thrills, gags and gasps” in its own five-star review.

Yet Digital Spy expresses reservations in its three-star write-up, saying “it all feels a bit rushed” and is “ultimately rather depressing”.

The Telegraph’s Tim Robey, meanwhile, finds fault with Josh Brolin’s Thanos, suggesting he resembles an “outsize ogrethug beamed in from World of Warcraft”.

Avengers: Infinity War will be followed next April by another Avengers instalment that has yet to have an official title.

But fans will not have to wait that long for more MCU fantasy, with a second Ant-Man film due out in August and a debut outing for Captain Marvel scheduled for March.

“Thanos demands your silence,” critics were told at the packed screenings that took place on Wednesday night in London’s Leicester Square.

The Stones’ latest tour comes after a lack of available venues meant that the UK was left off their European tour in 2017 – leading to huge demand for this year’s gigs.

Now, ahead of the band hitting the road, Jagger has said that he’s got new material in mind.

S

treaming services like Spotify and Apple Music have become the biggest contributor to the music industry’s coffers for the first time ever.

In total, streaming generated $7.1bn (£5bn) in 2017, more than sales of CDs and vinyl. The number of people subscribing to a streaming service topped 176 million, up from 112 million a year before.

The boom helped record labels chalk up a third consecutive year of growth, after 15 years of decline.

According to the IFPI, which represents the global music industry, the music market was worth $17.3bn (£12.4bn) last year, up from $15.7bn the year before.

However, it noted, this is only two-thirds of what the industry made at the peak of the CD era in 1999.

British artists accounted for four of the Top 10 bestselling albums of 2017, with Ed Sheeran’s ÷ topping the chart.

The star’s third album sold 6.1 million copies worldwide, more than twice as many as 2016’s biggest-seller - Beyonce’s Lemonade.

And Bruno Mars’s 90s throwback album 24k Magic made the Top 10 for a second year in a row, with sales of 1 million.

uentin Tarantino has been teasing titbits of his upcoming film ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’.

The film – which hasn’t yet started production – stars Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie, and is set in late 1960s Hollywood at the peak of the Charles Manson murders.

It follows a TV actor and his stunt double who ’embark on an odyssey to make a name for themselves in the film industry’.

DiCaprio will play the role of Rick Dalton, a former TV star, with Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) as his longtime stunt double.

Dalton lives next door to Sharon Tate (played

by Margot Robbie) who was brutally murdered

by Manson’s followers in 1969.

Tarantino took to the stage with DiCaprio at CinemaCon in Las Vegas yesterday (April 23) and said the chemistry between the actors is: “the most exciting star dynamic since Paul Newman and Robert Redford”.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the director also said the film is: “probably the closest to ‘Pulp Fiction’ that I have done”.

“It’s hard to speak about a film that we haven’t done yet, but I’m incredibly excited to work with Brad Pitt, and I think he’s

going to transport us,” DiCaprio added.

“I’m a huge fan of ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ – movies about Hollywood. As an L.A. native, having read the script, it’s one of the most amazing screenplays.

We are going to do our best job to make it fantastic.”

Sony chairman Tom Rothman has said that the film’s screenplay is the best he’s ever read.

The film is set to be released on August 9, 2019 – the 50th anniversary of the LaBianca murders, and one day ahead of the 50th anniversary of Sharon Tate’s murder.

The Diphupar Village Council would like to refer to the News items written by Diphupar Communities Chairmen Forum, which appeared in Nagaland Post front page on 14.4.2018, wherein DCCF had also submitted a copy of complain against Diphupar Village Council to the Extra Assistant Commissioner Chumukedima against the same matter.

The Diphupar Village Council having thoroughly gone through the facts of the news item considered that, it would be prudent not to react to the said press release through a rejoinder as the matter stood prejudiced in the honorable good office of the Extra Assistant Commissioner, Chumukedima.

But to set aside all records clear with the Administration and the public the village council is constrained to issue a rejoinder refuting all the allegations leveled against Diphupar Village Council by the so called Diphupar Communities Chairmen Forum.

The Diphupar Village Council in all good faith assures to assist and cooperate with the Administration and public to justify its stand with all the fact and figures.

Since Diphupar Village is a Govt. recognized village and is guided by Nagaland Village Council Act 1978, Nagaland VDB Model Rule 1980 and MGNREGA 2005 it is the bounden duty of DVC to cooperate with the Govt. in respect of its policies and plans formulated by the Govt.

Since the matter is in the court of Honourable Extra Assistant Commissioner Chumukedima, the Diphupar Village Council hope and pray that once the case is heard in the court of EAC Chumukedima, the matter will be resolved and set to rest.

Afghanistan not to play India in Tests in next FTP

KOLKATA, Apr 25 (PTI): Afghanistan is set to make its Test debut against India in June this year, but after the historic one-off match the two teams will not face each other in the longer format as per the new proposed Future Tours Programme (FTP) set for 2019-2023.

Having earned its Test status alongside Ireland in June last year, Afghanistan is set to take on India in its historic debut in Bengaluru from June 14.

Even though Afghanistan will play all top nations, including Australia and England in the new FTP, the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) has failed to secure any other series against India.

“India are a tough team to get hold of because they are very busy. Since we are not in Test Championship, the inaugural Test match is good enough for us. We are playing 14-18 Tests in new FTP cycle,” ACB CEO Shafiq Stanikzai said on the penultimate day of the fiveday ICC quarterly meeting.

“Against India we will be playing only one Test in Bengaluru as per earlier FTP. The new FTP is from 2019 to March 2023,” he added.

He further said Afghanistan will play bilateral home and away series against England, Australia, West Indies, Zimbabwe, Ireland and Bangladesh in the next FTP.

“These series does not come under the Test Championship, these will be all bilateral series - home and away.”

Stanikzai said Afghanistan is also considering daynight matches.

“As of now it’s not yet decided. But there will be, we are deliberating.”

The ICC Chief Executives’ committee has already drawn up the fixtures, but it will have to be passed by the ICC Board before it is made public.

Afghanistan and Ireland were made full members of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in June this year, becoming the sport’s 11th and 12h Testplaying nations.

IN MEMORY OF OUR BELOVED MOTHER LT. MARCHULA

home last week, went behind in the 30th minute after Fasir finished a move down the left with a strike past Lalthuammawia Ralte to make it 1-0.

Chhetri had a chance to level things in the 36th minute when he found himself through on goal.

But ‘keeper Mohamed Imran made himself big to deny the Bengaluru skipper. With a suspended Roca passing instructions to the bench from the stands, Bengaluru started the second half with two changes. Paartalu and Lenny were pulled off for Malsawmzuala and Boithang Haokip as the Blues looked to find a way back into the game.

But the charge suffered a heavy dent soon after the restart when striker Ali Ashfaq capitalised on a defensive blunder to give the hosts a two-goal cushion. Struggling to keep possession of what seemed like a routine pass, Bheke was stolen by Ashfaq who wasn’t going to squander

the chance to score.

Bengaluru continued to toil under the sun and looked like in danger of falling back further if it hadn’t been for some brave goalkeeping from Ralte.

The Bengaluru ‘keeper kept lending his attack an opportunity to claw back into the tie, making some vital saves in the second half.

With a little more than ten minutes to the end of regulation time, Bengaluru made their final change, bringing Daniel Lalhlimpuia on for Thongkhosiem Haokip who didn’t have a game to shout about.

The last 10 minutes d i d n’t p r o d u c e mu c h chances for the Blues who suffered their first defeat in the competition since the 1-0 away loss to FC Istiklol Dushanbe in the first leg of the Inter-zone Final in the 2017 AFC Cup. Bengaluru will go on to host domestic rivals Aizawl FC in their next game on May 2 at the Kanteerava Stadium.

CSK beat RCB by 5 wkts to go top

just 23 deliveries. Put in to bat, RCB got off to a decent 35-run start by skipper Virat Kohli (18) and de Kock before Shardul Thakur saw the back of the Indian captain, thanks to a smart catch by Ravindra Jadeja. But the visitors wouldn’t have imagined what was coming their way, as de Villiers started off by clobbering Harbhajan Singh for two consecutive sixes before launching left-arm spinner Jadeja to the skies.

Such was the dominance from the former Proteas skipper that the hosts raced to 87/1 midway into the innings, with both de Villiers and de Kock nearing their respective fifties.

Despite being overshadowed by his senior partner, the southpaw brought up his half century in style, tonking Shane Watson for a six over deep mid-wicket.

Dhoni hit a six to go past the target of 206 with

Opener Ambati Rayudu made the challenging total a manageable one with his brilliant knock of 82 runs of 53 balls, including eight sixes. Dhoni made 70 runs off 34 balls. His innings had seven sixes. For Bengaluru, Chahal claimed two wickets while Negi and Yadav

Djokovic out, Nadal through in Spain BARCELONA, Apr 25 (Agencies): Former world number one Novak Djokovic suffered a surprise second-round exit at the Barcelona Open when the Serb was beaten 6-2 1-6 6-3 by world number 140 Martin Klizan on Wednesday.

But favorite and 10times champion Rafael Nadal eased past fellow Spaniard Roberto Carballes-Baena 6-4 6-4 in his first appearance at this year’s tournament to reach the third round and set a record by winning 38 consecutive sets on clay, Reuters reported.

Second seed Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria also m ove d s m o o t h ly p a s t Frenchman Gilles Simon 6-2 6-1 to reach the last 16.

Djokovic, who received a bye in the opening round, has not made the last eight of a tournament since last year’s Wimbledon

Rafael Nadal

and has struggled with a long-term elbow injury.

The 30-year-old lost to Austria’s Dominic Thiem in the last 16 of the Monte Carlo Masters last week and looked far from his best in what was his second career appearance in Barcelona.

Klizan claimed the first set in just 32 minutes before Djokovic broke the Slovakian’s serve twice to take the second. World number one Nadal, who

also had a bye to the second round, packed out the main court at the Real Club de Tenis in Barcelona which is named after him.

Perhaps still feeling the effects of his triumph in Monte Carlo on Sunday, Nadal made a slow start against Carballes-Baena and was broken in the opening game to fall 2-0 behind.

He went in front again and had match point at 5-3 but could not take advantage, although he comfortably closed the match out with his next service game.

Nadal will now meet another Spaniard, Guillermo Garcia-Lopez, who progressed after 14th seed Kei Nishikori retired from his first match after experiencing pain in his right wrist.

The 28-year-old Japanese, who lost to Nadal in the Monte Carlo Masters final on Sunday, withdrew after losing the first set 6-3.

BCCI keeping ‘all options open’ on RTI NEW DELHI, Apr 25 (PTI): The BCCI is keeping all options open after the Law Commission last week recommended the powerful cricket body be brought under the RTI ambit. It, however, doesn’t see team selection coming under its purview.

Law Commission had said that the BCCI should be brought under the RTI Act, noting that it falls under the definition of a public authority which has received substantial financing from the government. Though the recommendations of the Law Commission are not binding on the government, the cash-rich board is waiting to see its stance on the subject. “BCCI is waiting for the law commission report to be sent to the government and keeping all options open. The BCCI will have to come under RTI if mandated.

Saina, Srikanth, Sindhu in 2nd round of Asia Championships

PV Sindhu, Kidambi Srikanth and Saina Nehwal

WUHAN (China), Apr 25 (PTI): After stupendous success at the recentlyconcluded Commonwealth Games, top Indian shuttlers Saina Nehwal, PV Sindhu and Kidambi Srikanth made positive starts to their campaign at the Badminton Asia Championships on Wednesday.

While Saina and Sindhu registered straight game victories over their respective rivals to enter the second round, Srikanth had to fight it out in his men’s singles opener.

Saina, who had clinched a gold medal at Gold Coast, continued her good run as she brushed aside Singapore’s Yeo Jia Min 21-12, 21-9 while Sindhu, who had lost to Saina in the CWG final to settle for

the silver, defeated Chinese Taipei’s Pai Yu Po 21-14, 21-19 in women’s singles competition. Former world no 1 Saina will meet China’s Gao Fangjie, while Olympic and world championship silver medallist Sindhu, seeded third, faces another Chinese Chen Xiaoxin next.

Top seed and CWG silver medallist Srikanth eked out a come-from-behind 13-21, 21-16, 21-16 win over Japan’s Kenta Nishimoto in men’s singles to set up a clash with Hong Kong’s Wong Wing Ki Vincent.

However, Sameer Verma’s fight against seventh seed Chou Tien Chen of Chinese Taipei ended with a 21-23, 17-21 loss.

The men’s doubles pair of Arjun MR and Ramchandran Shlok and women’s

combo of Meghana Jakkampudi and Poorvisha S Ram too joined the singles stars in the second round after pulling off thrilling wins in the opening round.

Arjun and Ramchandran had to dig deep into their reservoir before seeing off World championship quarter-finalists Chung Eui Seok and Kim Dukyoung of Korea 25-23, 23-21, while Meghana and Poorvisha held their nerves in pressure situations to beat Singapore’s Ong Ren-Ne and Wong Jia Ying Crystal 14-21, 22-20, 21-17 in a women’s doubles encounter.

However, mixed doubles pair of Saurabh Sharma and Anoushka Parikh lost 17-21, 14-21 to Korean combo of Kim Won Ho and Shin Seung Chan.

Haye will not last eight rounds: Bellew

L o n d o n, A p r 2 5 ( A g e nc i e s ) : To n y Bellew says he will stop David Haye inside eight rounds in their rematch and insists his rival “should have stayed clear” of him.

The pair meet at heavyweight in London on May 5, 14 months after Bellew stopped an injured Haye in round 11.

Bellew, 35, insists he would have beaten Haye even when the Briton dominated the cruiserweight division, holding three world titles in 2008, BBC reported.

“I’ll beat David Haye no matter what day of the year it is,” he said.

“I’m faster than anyone he’s ever faced, I’m someone who can dictate, I’m someone who can make him miss, I’m someone who’s got enough pop in his punch to make him think twice about engaging.

Bellew and Haye will collide again in a heavyweight rematch at London’s O2 Arena on May 5.

“I’m not saying I’m better than any fighter he’s faced because he’s faced much better fighters than me - Wladimir Klitschko is far better than me - but he can’t do the things that I can do.”

Many observers expected Haye to retire in the aftermath of his shock defeat to Bellew, who was fighting at heavyweight for the first time as a professional.

The 37-year-old, who

has also held a world heavyweight title, underwent surgery on the Achilles injury he suffered midway through the bout and later had to postpone a rematch in order to have an operation on a bicep injury.

Salah leads Liverpool 5-2 win over Roma Under-pressure Gambhir steps

Salah scored twice as Liverpool beat Roma in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

L i v e r p o o l ( En g land), Apr 25 (IANS): Liver pool’s Mohamed Salah put his stamp on the Champions League semifinal first leg here against AS Roma, scoring a brace and assisting on two other goals in a 5-2 victory that leaves his club poised to reach the final for the first time in more than a decade.

The Egypt international, voted Player of the Year by his peers in England, has 43 goals in 47 club matches this season -including 10 in the Champions League -- and people have begun to mention his name in the same breath with those of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, reports EFE news agency.

Neither Liverpool nor

Roma were on anyone’s pre-season list of likely Champions League semifinalists.

But Jürgen Klopp’s Reds are the last remaining undefeated side in the tournament, while Eusebio Di Francesco’s Roma squad reached the final four by mounting a historic comeback in the quarterfinal against mighty Barcelona.

Roma made a good beginning during Tuesday night’s contest, neutralizing Liverpool’s pace for the first 15 minutes and giving home goalkeeper Loris Karius some anxious moments as a strike

by Aleksandar Kolarov skipped just over the crossbar, momentarily silencing the raucous crowd at Anfield.

Liverpool regrouped quickly after Alex OxladeChamberlain left the game injured in the 17th minute and Roma soon found themselves penned in their own end for extended periods.

Sadio Mane threatened twice from close range before Salah got the breakthrough in the 35th minute, leaving Roma keeper Alisson a bystander with a perfect strike to make it 1-0 for the hosts.

Dejan Lovren should have doubled the lead moments later when he got a free header in the box, but he sent the ball straight into the cross-bar.

The second goal for Liverpool came in the final

minute of first half regulation, as Salah lifted the ball over Alisson to make it 2-0.

As he did after the first goal, Salah abstained from celebrating out of respect for his former club.

Liver pool’s dominance carried over into the second half and the hosts increased their advantage to 3-0 in the 56th minute, when Mane scored with an assist from Salah, who also set up Roberto Firmino’s goal five minutes later.

Firmino made it 5-0 in the 68th, heading in a James Milner corner.

With the job seemingly done, Klopp substituted Danny Ings for Salah, which turned out to be the signal for a late surge

by Roma.

Edin Dzeko, the hero of Roma’s amazing triumph over Barça, exploited a mistake by Lovren to score in the 81st minute.

Four minutes later, Diego Perotti cut Liverpool’s lead to 5-2, converting from the spot after the referee spotted a handball

by Milner.

down as Delhi Daredevils captain

New Delhi/kolkata, Apr 25 (PTI): Gautam Gambhir Wednesday stepped down as captain of perennial IPL laggards Delhi Daredevils, saying he just wasn’t good enough for the job. India batsman Shreyas Iyer was announced as the new skipper at the franchise’s press conference which was also attended by coach Ricky Ponting and team CEO Hemant Dua. The 36-year-old Gambhir, however, will continue to be a part of the team for the remaining eight games. The India discard, who led KKR to two IPL titles and played international cricket for over a decade, said he was not able to handle the captaincy pressure. The experienced combine of Gambhir and Ponting were roped in by the franchise ahead of the season, hoping that it would result in a successful season.

However, it has proved to be exactly the opposite with Delhi losing five out of their six games. On the personal front, Gambhir’s perfor-

Gautam Gambhir.

mance was below-par by his own standards. He scored 55 in the opening game before failing in the next four innings. The southpaw insisted that he was not pressurised to quit and it was rather his own decision.

Gambhir to represent Daredevils for free

Having relinquished captaincy of Delhi Daredevils, Gautam Gambhir has decided to forego his entire Rs 2.8 crore salary while

taking responsibility for the team’s disastrous run in the ongoing Indian Premier League. It is possibly the first time that an IPL captain has decided to forego his salary because of non performance. “Gautam has decided that he won’t take any salary from the franchise for the season. He will play remaining part of IPL for the Delhi Daredevils for free,” a source privy to the development told PTI on the condition of anonymity.
