DIMAPUR, APR 27 (NPN): Governor of Nagaland, PB Acharya, has urged the banks operating in Nagaland to open up new bank branches in strategic rural areas to enable people of the area to avail banking facilities and for implementation of Central and State Flagship Welfare Programmes. According to Raj Bhavan PRO, the governor, in a letter to five banks including Nagaland Rural Bank, NSCB Ltd, UCO Bank Central Bank of India and United Bank of India, said he had met with bank officers and urged them to open new branches in all districts. “People in rural areas are unaware of the banking facilities and schemes provided by the Government through banks,” Acharya added.

SEOUL, APR 27 (AGENCIES): The leaders of North and South Korea embraced on Friday after pledging to work for the “complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula”, on a day of smiles and handshakes at the first inter-Korean summit in more than a decade. The two Koreas announced they would work with the United States and China this year to declare an official end to the 1950s Korean War and seek an agreement on “permanent” and “solid” peace. The declaration included promises to pursue phased arms reduction, cease hostile acts, transform their fortified border into a peace zone and seek multilateral talks with other countries including the United States. “The two leaders declare before our people of 80 million and the entire world there will be no more war on the Korean peninsula and a new age of peace has begun,” the two sides.

They expressed dismay that even after providing information to the police, there was no breakthrough till date. The associations asserted that they were also not satisfied with the way police were handling and investigating the matter. “The abduction of the transporters is serious concern for us,” they said. ENPO appeals: Expressing concern over the “unfortunate incident” of abduction, the Eastern Nagaland Peoples’ Organization (ENPO) has appealed to the abductors for the safe release of the persons at the earliest in order to restore normalcy in the region. ENPO through its media cell reminded all respon-

sible of its December 18, 2007 Tuensang Resolution, wherein the public of Eastern Nagaland were opposed to any form of violence, threats, intimidations or bloodshed within its jurisdiction. ENPO also reiterated its appeal to all responsible to maintain peace and tranquillity, and to honour the same in the interest of peace.

NPF said the temerity of the officer to rally support from social organizations to the extent of resulting in issuing an ultimatum on the NPF legislature party was also unbecoming of a conduct of a government servant. NPF also accused Kire of having made false claims, through media, that he had taken over charge of RD department only in the first week of April 2018 while available records with the government showed he actually took over charge on March 17, 2018. NPF also termed it as “very strange” the demand of the officer on the party to substantiate its allegations with proof and evidence that he (Kire) was indulging in corrupt practices like pocketing government fund, misusing department vehicles, office stationery, etc, and threat to take legal recourse

in the event of the party’s failure to comply with his demand. Responding to this, the legislators clarified that the NPF had in fact, never raised the above issues at any point of time in public platform or through press statements. After a thorough deliberation on the issue, the NPF Legislature Par ty unanimously adopted three resolutions, that included the following: After viewing the ultimatum served on leader of opposition TR Zeliang, the NPF legislators termed it as “unprecedented and unacceptable under democratic and parliamentary norms and procedures”.

‘Persistent TB-like symptoms may be Paragonimiasis’

Correspondent

KOHIMA, APR 27 (NPN): If someone has persistent TB-like symptoms, they need to get tested for paragonimiasis since it is often misdiagnosed as tuberculosis. Principal Investigator Healthcare Laboratory & Research Centre NHAK, Dr. V. Khamo said this during the launching program of the Paragonimiasis Diagnostic Test Kit & Paragonimiasis Awareness Program for North East India, at healthcare laboratory and research centre Naga Hospital Authority, Kohima on Friday. She said that diagnosis was simple, easy, short and cost effective. Dr. V. Khamo, in her address highlighting the test kit, said paragonimiasis was a lung fluke disease caused by trematodes and it was a food borne infection transmitted via consumption of raw or undercooked crab or crayfish. She said paragonimiasis was a neglected disease--rare and region specific, common in Asians, Africans, and the Hispanic populations and the North East region of India. She explained that it affects an estimated 20 million people worldwide

She infor med the gathering that in Nagaland, crab, crayfish and snails are taken as a delicacy or exotic cuisine and also taken for medicinal purposes. “TS Singh et al. 2009”, she said, was the first confirmed report and description of Paragonimus Heterotremus in Nagaland. Dr. Khamo said paragonimiasis is often misdiagnosed as tuberculosis due to their similar clinical symptoms leading

to wrong treatment. She said the first case of combined cerebral paragonimiasis with pulmonary form in India was reported from Nagaland (TS Singh et al. 2011) and the survey by Das et al, from 2012 to 2013 in Mon district of Nagaland reported that 3% of the 96 patients receiving TB treatment in Mon were paragonimiasis positive. Doctor Khamo highlighted the activities of the healthcare laboratory and research centre like

awareness programmes on paragonimiasis for school children, teachers and churches. It also organizes CME/workshops among health workers, conducts surveys at villages, screens sputum samples from TB clinics and hospitals, conducts morphological identification of crabs, crayfish and snails harboring paragonimus in Nagaland and surveys food habits through questionnaires. She also presented an overview of paragonimia-

sis in the state-- Naga Hospital Authority Kohima detected 29.9% positive, community based survey at Razeba Village 6.8% positive, District Tuberculosis Centre of Kohima town 0.4 % positive, coinfection of paragonimiasis and tuberculosis 2.1% , patients misdiagnosed for TB 34.7%. Dr. Khamo expressed the concern that more awareness on paragonimiasis needed to be created among the general public, especially clinicians, since it was often misdiagnosed as tuberculosis. She also explained that crabs, crayfish and snails needed to be properly cooked before being consumed. Commissioner and secretary, health and family welfare, I. Himato Zhimomi (IFS), who was the guest of honour for the launching, encouraged doctors to continue their medical research work and strive to provide people with a healthy life which was, according to him, one of humanity’s basic rights. Zhimomi lauded Dr. V. Khamo for pioneering the research work which was the first of its kind in the state and gave his

NSCN (I-M) condemns arrests of members by AR Sensitization program on DIMAPUR: NSCN (I-M) has strongly condemned the unlawful arrest of its leacy by 3rd Assam Rifles from Mohonkhola, Kohima without any valid reason on April 24, 2018. NSCN (I-M) through its MIP alleged that leacy Kevingol was forced to lead the army personnel to the residence of Medo Angami, chaplee kilonser, at Viswema on the same night. Not content with the raid at the residence of the chaplee kilonser, MIP alleged that the army personnel broke into his farmhouse like burglars at around 10.30pm using knife and scissors to unlatch the master bedroom door through the bathroom. MIP stated that one semi automatic rifle, which was used by chaplee kilonser, as an identity card holder, for self protection, was taken away by AR personnel. MIP further alleged that the occupants of the farm house-- an old lady,

caretaker of the farmhouse, two school going girls and a college going son-- were threatened and psychologically harassed. MIP also alleged that Kronyi, the farm head was pushed into water, wrapped with wet clothes and tortured inhumanly leaving him in a pool of blood. “Kronyi had to be rushed to the hospital to save his life,” it said. Calling this the second unwarranted raid at the farmhouse, MIP said that “Assam Rifles has again exposed its nefarious attitude towards the NSCN and Nagas by conducting raids in the name of law and order situations which has aggravated the law and order problems in Nagalim.” It said that this raid after signing of the framework agreement was highly provocative. NSCN (I-M) also questioned the sincerity of the government of India which has been holding peace talks with it. In order to maintain

the sanctity of the CeaseFire Ground Rules and to create a conductive atmosphere for peaceful political dialogue, NSCN (I-M) sought the release of the arrested official along with confiscated arms through the Ceasefire Monitoring Cell Office. Further, NSCN (I-M) condemned the recent arrest of Renthungo Odyuo along with official documents while on duty by the Assam Rifles at Khekiho village near Doyapur on April 20, without any valid reason. NSCN (I-M) said it was seriously viewing frequent raids and arrest of NSCN (I-M) members by the Indian Army during the cease fire period and at a time when peace talks were being held at the highest level. “Appropriate response will be given to the aggressors in due course of time, for which the entire responsibility will befall on the Government of India,” it warned.

Shillong/ AMPATI, Apr 27 (PTI/Agencies): Voting ended peacefully at Williamnagar assembly seat in Meghalaya which witnessed voters turn out of 75 per cent Friday.

No alliance with Congress in CADC: Mizoram BJP

AIZAWL/GUWAHATI, Apr 27 (Agencies): The six Congress members who have been elected to the 20-member Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC) are likely to leave the party and form an alliance with BJP in the CADC, sources from Mizoram BJP said on Thursday. The election to the 20member council was held on Friday and result for 19 seats were declared on Tuesday. Opposition Mizo National Front (MNF) emerged as single largest party winning eight seats, followed by Congress with six and BJP with five seats. Following a breakdown of talks between MNF and BJP over the sharing of posts in the council, there was an unprecedented development on Wednesday of Congress announcing that it would form a post-poll alliance with BJP to gain majority in the CADC, TNN reported. The joint legislature party was constituted on Wednesday which elected Santi Jiban Chakma (BJP)

as its leader and Buddha Lila Chakma (Congress) as deputy leader. Santi Jiban was tipped to become the CEM of the council. However, neither the BJP national leadership nor the state leaders agreed to forming a coalition with its arch-rival, especially in view of the coming election to the 40-member state assembly by the end of the year. After consultation with the party’s elected council members, a top state BJP leader said the only way an alliance with the Congress members can be stitched is if they agree to leave the grand old party and form a new forum. BJP’s northeast organisational secretar y Ajay Jamwal rushed to state capital Aizawl to douse the crisis. “No question arises of our members going with Congress. The BJP-MNF alliance is based on a strong anti-Congress foundation, and it is this alliance that will head the CADC,” BJP in-charge for Mizoram Pawan Sharma told TOI on Thursday.

Sharma said that such drill would be beneficial to the society as those who viewed the drill would be able to share their experience in various segments of the society. The drill was conducted by the 1st Battalion of NDRF.

Kokrajhar (Assam), Apr 27 (PTI): Several Bodo groups have protested here against the state government’s alleged failure to hold further dialogue on the Bodoland issue and called for a five-day national highway blockade in the Bodoland areas from May 2.

NOTICE

New Delhi, Apr 27 (PTI): Diana Hayden has slammed Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb for criticising her 1997 win at the Miss World pageant, saying it is “hurtful” as it exposes how Indians stigmatise the brown skin when in fact they should be proud of it. The actor said she has been fighting the stereotypical mindset, which gives preference to ‘light colour skin’ since her childhood. Hayden, in a statement headlined: ‘That’s some strong disapproval of me winning the Miss World title!’ said it is ironical that she should be criticised for spreading “appreciation of our Indian brown exotic beauty”. “It’s a pity and shame that when you win the biggest and most respected beauty pageant in the world, you get criticised and put down as opposed to being appreciated and respected for bringing more accolades

HC rejects petition filed against 11 AIADMK MLAs

Madras HC rejected a plea seeking disqualification of 11 AIADMK MLAs. neerselvam merged his group with the one led by Palaniswami who sidelined Sasikala and her relative T.T.V. Dinakaran. The petition for disqualification was filed by Sakkarapani soon after Assembly Speaker P. Dhanapal disqualified 18 legislators owing allegiance to sidelined AIADMK leader Dinakaran. The legislators belonging to Dinakaran camp had also written to the Governor expressing their loss of confidence in Chief Minister Palaniswai and requested him to appoint a new Chief Minister. The case filed by the disqualified legislators against the Speaker’s action is pend-

Main accused Jaswanti Devi outside CBI court in Panchkula. Panchkula, Apr 27 (IANS): A CBI court here on Friday sentenced three people to life term for sexually exploiting minors in 2012 in an orphanage in Haryana’s Rohtak city. The sexual exploitation at the Apna Ghar orphanage came to light in 2012. Special CBI cour t Judge Jagdeep Singh, who sentenced Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim last year to 20 years in jail for raping two women, pronounced the quantum of sentence. Jaswanti Devi, who ran NGO Apna Ghar, her son-in-law Jai Bhagwan and driver Satish were identified as the key suspects and sentenced to life.

Jaswanti Devi’s brother Jaswant Singh was sentenced to seven years in jail. Sentences of Jaswanti’s daughter Sushma, Satish’s sister Sheela and counsellor Veena, who were also found guilty, were set off as they had spent their jail sentence as accused. Roshni, who was found guilty of having forcibly taken away an inmate’s child, and Ram Prakash Saini, co-worker of Jaswanti Devi, were released on probation. The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights in May 2012 rescued over 100 inmates of the orphanage following a surprise raid. Most of those sexually exploited were children and young girls. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had, in its 2012 chargesheet, accused seven persons of committing crime against the minors. In an additional chargesheet in 2013, it added three more names. The CBI charged the accused with rape, forced labour, criminal conspiracy and human trafficking. The case was handed over to the CBI following pressure from various quarters.

Stating that oil supplying companies have shut down since April 26, 2018 in protest against abduction, the DCC said due to the closure of fuel outlets, the public of the district were facing immense difficulties. In such a given situation, DCC

said black marketers were likely to take undue advantage of the situation. It also maintained that skyrocketing of prices of essential commodities cannot be rule out if the matter prolonged. “Delay, failure or negligence on the part of the government in solving this impasse would be a sign of government’s incompetence,” DCC said.

persons – Atvi Infotainment co-founder and CNN News18 consulting editor Karma S Paljor and NDPP secretary general Abu Metha – spoke on “Importance of media/social media in political arena” and “principles and ideologies of NDPP” respectively.

SC stays trial in Kathua rape and murder New Delhi, Apr 27 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Friday stayed the trial in the rape and murder of a young girl in Kathua in Jammu and Kashmir as it asked the accused to respond to the plea for the transfer of trial to Chandigarh. Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and Justice Indu Malhotra stayed the trial which was listed for Saturday in Kathua, saying it would hold a hearing on the plea for transfer of trial on May 7. The victim’s father has moved the top court seeking the transfer of trial from Kathua to Chandigarh. Earlier, the Jammu and Kashmir government had opposed the transfer of the trial saying that the state had a differ-

ent penal code - Ranbir Penal Code - and transfer of trial would pose inconvenience to the witnesses. Appearing for the victim’s father, senior counsel Indira Jaising, while seeking the transfer of trial to Chandigarh which she said was the next destination in proximity of Kathua, also urged the court to monitor the trial. She also told the court that except for the name, both Indian Penal Code and Ranbir Penal Code were same. The top court had on April 26 said that it would shift the Kathua gang-rape and murder trial out of Jammu and Kashmir at the “slightest possibility of lack of a fair trial”.

Model code of conduct in force for by-poll (From p-1) He also mentioned that during the 2014 Lok Sabha election, the voter turnout was 88.25%, which in 2009 was 90.26%. Stating that Electors’ Photo Identity Cards (EPIC) will be used during the by-poll, Sinha added that a voter can also use an identity card. However, the ECI will issue direc-

tive over use of identity cards prior to the poll, he added. Twelve assistant returning officers will be assisting the CEO, who will be the returning officer, while the first level of checking electronic voting machines (EVMs) will start by next week. Additional CEO Moa Aier informed the media that video cameras and

web cams will be installed in all the 2,196 polling stations and vulnerability of the polling stations will be identified by deputy commissioners of the respective districts. As per the model code of conduct, no minister, whether from the Centre or State, shall combine in any manner his or her official tours with election work after announcement

of the by-election schedule. Also, visits to districts where by-election will be held and where model code of conduct is in force will have to be private in nature and, in case a minister travels through a district where the byelection is being held en route to any other districts on official visit, he or she should not attend to any

political party. 84.27% voter turnout in last Assembly election Almost two months after the Assembly election was held, chief electoral officer (CEO) Abhijit Sinha has said that the percentage of voter turnout in the State was 84.27%. Interacting with the media here on Friday,

the CEO said Longleng district reported the highest voter turnout with 92.28%, followed by Mon and Pughoboto districts with 91.49% and 90.23% respectively. He said Peren district recorded the lowest turnout with 76.81%, followed by Dimapur with 79.33%.

On November 30, 2017, the aforesaid committee at its meeting decided to operationalise the NMMCR, 2004 and to move for amendment of the NMMCR 2004 and to induct Nagaland Pollution Control Board (NSPCB) as member. Based on the decision of the review committee, the state government issued a notification vide no. GM-5/ EXPL-15/2001(Pt) dated 24.01.17 to operationalise NMMCR 2004. In the meantime, NGA said the principal secretary forest department issued an office memorandum vide no. FOR/GEN-21/2016 dated September 22, 2017 directing to maintain status quo till confusion over jurisdiction between G&M and EF&CC was resolved. In view of above, it said a joint meeting of the departments of G&M and EF&CC was held on October 28, 2017. NGA said the joint meeting, chaired by chief minister and attended by chief secretary, decided that G&M department would implement NMMCR 2004 by granting mining leases/ permits and levy royalty on minor minerals and the EF&CC department would take steps to amend the Nagaland Forest Act 1968 and delete wherever minerals were listed as forest products and lay in the Nagaland Legislative Assembly in the winter session 2017. Based on the decision taken at that meeting, NGA said following the installation of the new PDA government an administrative order vide No. GM-5/ EXPL-15/2001(Pt)/ dated April 2, 2018 signed by the chief secretary was notified, which has the approval of the chief minister authorising the G&M department to grant mining leases/permits and levy royalty on minor minerals. Further, all permit issued by EF&CC stand cancelled. However, NGA said that contrary to the existing high level committee, which was still examining the draft amendment bill of the NMMCR 2004, another review committee was constituted by the forest department under the chairmanship of the principal secretary (AHoD, EF & CC) vide notification dated April 17, 2018, to review royalty collection relating to minor minerals and examine the applicability of the NMMCR 2004.

In the light to the above, the NGA has asked to clarify why government constituted another committee when there was already a high level committee constituted by the government and why within two weeks’ time the government issued two contradictory notifications. Therefore, the NGA has requested the government to keep the review committee constituted under the chairmanship of the principle secretary, EF&CC department under abeyance till such time the proposed amendment bill for NMMCR, 2004 was finalised. In the event of failure to address the grievances genuinely, the association cautioned that it would be compelled to take up the matter with the legal court of law.

As per the party position in Tamil Nadu assembly, the ruling AIADMK has 116 members followed by DMK89, Congress-8, IUML-1, Independent-1, the Speaker and 18 vacant seats, totalling 234. Besides, there is one nominated member without voting right. On Friday, the court also dismissed another petition filed by DMK lawmaker J. Anbazhagan against the unveiling of late Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa’s portrait in the Assembly. Welcoming the two judgements , K. Pandiarajan, the Minister for Tamil Official Language and Tamil Culture, said the court’s decision was validation of Tamil Nadu Speaker’s decision. He said the opposition parties might be disappointed but it would give them clarity as to what kind of cases could be filed in the courts. Tamil Nadu Fisheries Minister D. Jayakumar said the two orders of the court on Friday was like having milk and fruit together. “It is a twin happy news. Justice has been done.”

C h e n na i , A p r 2 7 (IANS): The Madras High Court on Friday dismissed a petition seeking disqualification of 11 AIADMK legislators, including Deputy Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam, for voting against the government during a confidence motion moved by Chief Minister K. Palaniswami last year. Dismissing the petition filed by DMK Whip R. Sakkrapani, the court said it could not interfere in the Assembly Speaker’s domain. The court said it had the power of judicial review of decisions taken, but could not interfere in a matter where the Speaker had not taken a decision. It also referred to a case pending in the Supreme Court on a similar issue arising from Andhra Pradesh. The disqualification petition was filed against 11 AIADMK legislators for voting against the confidence motion on Chief Minister K. Palaniswami government on February 18, 2017, defying the party whip. At that time, Panneerselvam had rebelled against the party led by jailed leader V.K. Sasikala. Later, Pan-

Adulteration industry

t was long overdue for the authorities to set up a mobile food testing laboratory and when the first mobile laboratory of the Public Health Laboratory Kohima went into action in Dimapur, it proved to be an eye opener. Funded by the government of India and Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), the Food Safety on Wheels will be travelling across the state to check food samples on the spot. In its first operation, the laboratory detected non-permitted colours such as Rhodamine B, Metanil Yellow and Sudhan dye were used in turmeric, chilli and coriander powders. According to the technicians, these substances were carcinogens and hazardous to health. Metanil Yellow caused degenerative changes in the lining of the stomach, kidney and liver. It also affects the ovaries and testes, and proved to be dangerous to reproductive organs. Cooking oils are today being marketed and sold under various brand names. The health fad has also led to rise in demand for olive oil and other so-called healthy cooking oil such as sunflower, soybean and groundnut. However, these oils are found to contain cheap cotton seed oil. The most common adulteration in olive oil is mixing extravirgin olive oil with low-grade oils. Mustard oil is found adulterated with cheap argemone oil which causes dropsy disease. Another item that has been banned in other cities is gluten, used in bread and flour-based items in bakery products. Gluten is a a cross between wheat and rye. Gluten helps foods maintain their shape, acting as a glue that holds food together. The proteins in wheat are gut irritants: they’re like that papercut or splinter digging into the lining of the gut, causing an inflammatory response. The most famous case is the inflammation caused by gluten in people with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Food inspectors need to tighten up their act by involving the public by creating awareness on such issues. Public today are expected to be aware of many such issues- adulterants, colorants and chemicals that are found in most of the food items sold and consumed everyday. The Food Safety on Wheels may prove to be the best safeguard against harmful items found in almost all food products. There are far too many unscrupulous traders who are selling highly adulterated food items. There are also many more who sell expired food items including medicines. These require to be constantly monitored. However, it is quite lamentable that the state authorities have not been able to come down heavily against most eating places that continue to flout the laws. Even the most visible lack of hygiene in kitchens of restaurants or hotels go uncheck and violators go unpunished. Apart from conducting simple tests for common adulterants in milk, water, edible oil and other items of food of daily consumption, these mobile units would also be used for awareness building around food safety, hygiene and promoting healthy eating habits in citizens at large and for conducting training and certification programme for food handlers and supervisors in food businesses, particularly petty food businesses. In addition, these mobile units would help the field functionaries in the States to enhance their outreach and conduct surveillance activities even in far-flung areas.

DailyDevotion What Do You Want? Do you seek great things for yourself? —Jeremiah 45:5 Are you seeking great things for yourself, instead of seeking to be a great person? God wants you to be in a much closer relationship with Himself than simply receiving His gifts— He wants you to get to know Him. Even some large thing we want is only incidental; it comes and it goes. But God never gives us anything incidental. There is nothing easier than getting into the right relationship with God, unless it is not God you seek, but only what He can give you. If you have only come as far as asking God for things, you have never come to the point of understanding the least bit of what surrender really means. You have become a Christian based on your own terms. You protest, saying, “I asked God for the Holy Spirit, but He didn’t give me the rest and the peace I expected.” And instantly God puts His finger on the reason– you are not seeking the Lord at all; you are seeking something for yourself. Jesus said, “Ask, and it will be given to you…” (Matthew 7:7). Ask God for what you want and do not be concerned about asking for the wrong thing, because as you draw ever closer to Him, you will cease asking for things altogether. “Your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him” (Matthew 6:8). Then why should you ask? So that you may get to know Him. Are you seeking great things for yourself? Have you said, “Oh, Lord, completely fill me with your Holy Spirit”? If God does not, it is because you are not totally surrendered to Him; there is something you still refuse to do. Are you prepared to ask yourself what it is you want from God and why you want it? God always ignores your present level of completeness in favor of your ultimate future completeness. He is not concerned about making you blessed and happy right now, but He’s continually working out His ultimate perfection for you— “…that they may be one just as We are one…” (John 17:22).

Post-mortem

Westernization usurps upon our culture

I

t’s April. The name is rooted in the Latin Aprilis and derived from the Latin aperire meaning “to open”. After winter, spring is still out of reach. It’s gonna be May. The New Year has begun in many parts of India with its promise of spring and seasonal culture across the world. There are blossoming of flowers and trees in the northern hemisphere. It is Rongali Bihu (Assam), Ugadi (AP, Karnataka, TN), Boiskakh (Bengal, Odisha), Vishu (Kerela) and Vaisakhi (Northern and Central India). However these traditional fanfares have been encroached by westernization. India traditionally diversifies its agrarian economy so does our festivals related with cultivation. Without it, there is something amiss. What we don’t do is to introspect much about the changes. The usurping of digital media might decay our traditions in years to come. This is also being experienced across the world gradually. Human civilization had begun in India at Indus valley around 3200 BCE at Harappa and Mohenjo-daro (Sindh province). The period is called the Bronze Age (3300-1300 BCE). It was contemporary with Mesopotamian (Iraq) at Tigris and Euphrates, Egyptian at Nile and Chinese at Yellow civilization in South Asia. The initial spur of urbanisation eventually demised due to shortage of water supply and population influx. Followed by Persian and the Greek were the major invasion towards the culture of Indian subcontinent. The Portuguese sailor Vasco da Gama re-established direct trade link with India (149799). The wealth and prosperity of colonial India had led the invention of America by Christopher Columbus in 1942. Being India a very long periods of oldest history, it has diverse culture across the

country. But now it is posing a serious threat as western culture had already made its presence in urban and now slowly heading towards the rural community of India. Nevertheless we are living in 21st century. Globalisation has a big role in transformation to our culture. Modernity is bound to happen since people intermingle with the world through video sharing website like YouTube. Reliance Jio unleashed the much needed digital tsunami to every nook and corner to our country. Western tradition brought to bear cultural renaissance on India. Our culture has intermingled with international as well as national exposure. And our festivals are no exception. The App based mobile software has now been challenging to Rongali Bihu - the life line of Assamese people. Bihu as a means of entertainment through music and dance had began in the era fifties. Since then they began to be organized on a larger scale as we see today in stage Bihu. But here again the question arises, are we celebrating with much popularity or there is something amiss at Bihu? Senior citizen often calls for complaint of Rati Bihu (late night celebration). The organisers are largely blamed for the dismal showing by artists. We support a healthy culture that recognizes and values to all the communities. We leave in a civilized society and should do things right to enjoy festival by connecting all the people. Cultural renaissance does not come in a day or two. Teenagers are to be adapted by cultural ethos and moral values of our cherished past. Despite bring rich in traditional silk industry, young generation opted for contemporary clothing even during festivals. Yes people do wear cloth depending on the geography, climate and comfort of that region. People from Punjab, Rajast-

han, Gujarat and South India have followed somewhat during festivals. The changes of the cultural renaissance are not just coming in a day. It is being experienced across the north east region. A quiet introspection could be extremely valuable. The late night DJ culture embraced by most of the Hotels in our cities to cater to a select group of entertainment seekers is a nuisance. There is no respite even after complaining to the concerned authority at the loudspeaker blazing from the terrace. They are least bothered about the inconvenience of the residents. Infants, students and senior citizens are entitled to enjoy their peace and silence in the evening and in natural, peaceful atmosphere. Their privileges must be honoured. There is already an existing law against generating noise that is over 125 decibel. As per the Apex Court guidelines, a loud speaker or a public address system is not permitted after 10 pm except in closed premises for communication within, e.g. auditorium, conference room, community halls and banquet halls and decibel levels of noise pollution must be reduced to 45 dB after 10 p.m. There is no place finer to spend a night out by disturbing others. A written permission is to be obtained even for a day time programme. Should not the concerned authority be held responsible for allowing such activities near residential areas? We live in a civilised society. We see no reason why the hotels should not organise such parties within closed walls of their premises with small speaker circuit? Will the District Administration take action to arrest such vandalism? We all know how police stopped Pandit Jasaraj’s show in Pune in 2002. It is a necessity to raise public awareness to control public address systems within threshold limits.

But western countries adhere to follow strict state order. The Garba, the nine day festival in Mumbai, is allowed to play loudspeakers for just two days only till 10 p.m. deadline with a limit of 55 db. Even any small organisers that don’t use loudspeakers are prohibited to stay open until midnight. In communist China, western thoughts and influences are bared in the minds of the Chinese youth. But, India is different from the rest of the world. We welcome Justin Bieber, the Canadian heartthrob. He came, he sang and he wound up the show on time in Mumbai recently. No matter what fan insisted to sing another hit. But he had a purpose and walked off the stage by 9.50 p.m. Should we learn lesson from those international events? Although the month long ‘always on’ celebration is famous for mass audience, but it has carried a negative influence to outsiders. We support a healthy culture that recognizes and values to all the communities. The quality programmes on stage are missing during festival. The external light from electronic devices and high noise level of loudspeakers make surroundings intolerable. These lifestyle factors are affecting the quality and quantity of sleep hours. The negative consequences of night events are other issues known to all. We leave in a civilized society and should do things right to enjoy festival by connecting the people. Days not far off when ours tradition will see other side of the coin and glorious chapters of our culture deflected off westernization. Young gun might not convince, but at the same time society must take supreme pride of tradition and heritage and must preach to preserve our cherished festival to revive, sustain, and promote.

Holy Spirit revival

H

oly Spirit revival is an act of God’s outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the believers of Jesus Christ whereby the believers receive heavenly peace, joy, love, power and newness of life to witness the Gospel of Christ which is the salvation of sinners to the world. The significant of Holy Spirit Revival are repentance, confessing and forsaking sins in tears, cleansing from sins, hunger and thirst for the word of God and prayer to God which impact receiving power of the Holy Spirit, ecstasy and gifts of the Holy Spirit. Such as speaking in tongues, visions, prophecy and performing miracles. Holy Spirit revival is as if the flame of fire from heaven to purge the church to enliven or awaken the church from lukewarmness and to equip the believers with power from high for proclaiming the truth to the perishing world. The fire of the Holy Spirit only creates zeal and boldness to witness and to stand for the truth. We need to share the mighty works of the Holy Spirit experienced by our people in the past in different areas in our land. I want to share my personal testimony about the initial stage of my conversion. I had depression over the fact that man lives, dies and buried and gets decomposed and becomes dust. In animism, God is not known except gods are believed and feared, so there is no peace and courage. I wanted to join the church but my parents forbade me, but after sometimes I joined the church against the will of my parents and when I read the Bible , the Bible teaches that believers of Christ have everlasting life. After I came to know it, my depression was gone and I had peace. what will be my fate if I continue in forefathers’ religion or if the Gospel of christ did not reach us? The gospel of Jesus Christ is really a good news of deliverence or setting free from imprisonment of darkness. Some beloved believers advised me to have fasting and prayer and once I complied with the advice and had prayer and fasting for three days. On the third night when I prayed, my prayer was in ecstasy. I spoke in unknown tongue and my prayer was a flow of words and could not stop. I kept on praising God and since it was unusual to my wife, she said, “Are you going to be mad?” I felt like to be somewhere alone and spend the time in reading the word of God and praying and praising. It made me sang loudly in the church services. It is really an experience of tasting heavenly joy. I thought to myself, I had enthusiasm to tell the good news to the unbelievers and some were bought to know Christ. But if I fail to take a step farther, I will be failing to avail the promise of God which tremendously enriches Christian’s experiences. In my opinion, selfsufficiency and complacency prevents ones to take further step in seeking power. Rev. L.Suohie Mhasi, (rev.suohie_mhasi@yahoo.com)

Cooling India with less warming: Affordable, efficient ACs

W

ith Earth Day top of mind this week, what do you think is among the top strategies for protecting the planet from climate change? Improving air conditioners? Yes, thats true for India and the world. With rising income and heat levels in India, the demand for air conditioners is increasing. Though less than 10 percent of Indian households currently use air conditioners, sales are increasing by 10 to 15 percent every year. Sales of room air conditioners have skyrocketed from two million units in 2006 to approximately 30 million units in 2017. These units burden electric grids with greater peak power demand, leading to higher fuel consumption by power plants and increasingly poor air quality. Increased air conditioner use also exacerbates harmful climate change caused by emissions of carbon dioxide from power generation and the release of refrigerants, usually hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), potent heat trapping gases used in air conditioners. To beat the heat without harming the environment, India is looking at a combination of strategies, including climate-friendly air conditioners, cool roofs and energy efficient buildings. The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), the Natural Resources Defence Council (NRDC), and the Institute for Governance and Sustainable Development (IGSD) have partnered to examine strategies to improve air conditioning in a new report: “Cooling India With Less

Warming: Affordable and Efficient Room Air Conditioners”. In terms of both the refrigerant greenhouse gases and energy efficiency, improving air conditioners offers major benefits. Leading AC manufacturers recognise the tremendous business opportunity and are aggressively working to increase market share. In October 2016, 197 countries reached the historic Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, to cap and then phase down production and consumption of HFCs worldwide. HFCs have a thousand times higher global warming potential than carbon dioxide, and phasing down HFCs is one of the greatest opportunities to stave off the worst effects of climate change. The benefits of improved ACs are huge. In India alone, fulfilling the Kigali Amendment is expected to avoid the use of HFCs equivalent to between two and six billion tonnes of carbon dioxide through 2050 -- about 2025 per cent of which is likely to come from reductions in HFCs used for room ACs. India has an opportunity to avoid an additional 950 million tonnes of HFC use through 2050, by phasing down faster. Manufacturers in India already offer ACs using refrigerants such as low global warming potential (GWP) hydrocarbon HC-290 (propane), with GWP 3, and transitional refrigerant HFC-32, with GWP 677, compared to the refrigerants HCFC-22 with GWP 1760 and HFC410A with GWP 1924.

In addition to switching to better refrigerants, improving the energy efficiency of room ACs can deliver even more remarkable climate benefits. The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) estimates that if, by 2030, India’s AC stock improves in average efficiency by 30 per cent from 2015 levels, annual carbon dioxide emissions will decrease by approximately 180 million tonnes per year -- equivalent to about 10 per cent of the carbon dioxide emissions reductions expected from India’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to the Paris Agreement in that year. More than 50 room AC models that meet the climate-friendly LBNL scenario -- Indian Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratios (ISEERs) of 4.0 or greater -- are already in the market. These ACs include several using low-GWP refrigerant HC-290 (up to 1.5 tons) and lower-GWP HFC-32 (up to 1.8 tons). The best room ACs as of April 2018 have already reached ISEER 5.8 and upwards in the market, sold by Daikin, Godrej, Panasonic, LG and Hitachi. Yet, more needs to be done to advance markets that improve air conditioning. Energy efficient and climate-friendly room ACs are just part of the solution. Passive cooling techniques, such as using shading, ventilation, and cool roofs, homes built to energy conservation building codes, and adaptive thermal comfort strategies, will lessen dependence on mechanical cooling, saving energy and reducing pol-

lution even before the AC turns on. Six strategies have been suggested to advance climate-friendly ACs in India and globally. Some are already underway, but may benefit from higher ambition or better integration. Others require longer time frames, while some call for government or industry leadership. Consider: * Opportunities under the Montreal Protocol. Phasing out HCFC-22 should continue, leapfrogging traditional high-GWP HFCs in favour of the lower-GWP alternatives with funding support from the Montreal Protocol while also working with UN agencies to facilitate co-funding and/or financing energy efficiency upgrades. * Energy Efficiency and Low-GWP Standards & Labels. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency Star Labeling programme has succeeded in strengthening AC efficiency standards and labels by about 35 per cent since 2006, representing major cost and energy savings in India. One immediate opportunity, is to consider advancing the rate at which the Star Rating programme is strengthened to foster competition and help consumers identify the most efficient ACs. * Bulk Procurement Programmes. Bulk procurement programmes, such as EESL’s AC programme, are revolutionising the landscape for high-efficiency products, and a strategy to advance efficiency is encouraging lower-GWP refrigerants as part of the procurement process.

* Raising Consumer Awareness. Differentiating among room ACs with stronger efficiency standards, above ISEER 4.5, would help consumers identify the most energyefficient room ACs as well as including GWP-based refrigerant labels to the Star Rating programme. * Local Supply Chains and R&D. Leveraging programmes such as Make in India, the AC industry can work with the government to increase domestic components used in room ACs.

* National Cooling Action Plans. India is developing a National Cooling Action Plan that brings cooling strategies together from more efficient AC designed, low-GWP refrigerants, and passive cooling technologies.

Reader’s Post

Do not get taken in Sir,

A trend can be observed where people tend to believe anything on hearing about it. These are usually panic inducing or just silly rumours and for some reason we cannot seem to laugh these off. A talking new-born asking people to dig near their kitchen back door, salt scarcity (overnight) etc. come to mind. This may be considered gullibility or innocence, but we need to understand that if something sounds improbable or impossible, it is probably untrue. We need to become a little sceptical about things. Today, some friends of mine received a number of calls asking if there had been a bomb explosion in Dimapur. When asked the source of this information, they sent a video of the drill that was conducted on 26th April. While this is understandable to a great extent, the number of calls was a bit disconcerting. There are also the cases of suddenly becoming UNO money beneficiaries, mobile towers installations that will result in windfalls every month, vehicles at dirt cheap rates, Nigerian princes with billions but for some reason only you can save their money etc. and people still fall for these. This is not to say people are stupid, it is just that if we are informed, we tend to be a little less quick to believe everything. If it is too good to be true, it probably isn’t true. Ago, Dimapur

But the retailer refused to budge. After I threatened him by mentioning the top court’s observation, the retailer said he would ‘get back’ to me. But he never did,” says Pravin after failing to get the new SIM. The same issue was faced by Jasleen, a corporate executive in Bangalore. “I needed a new SIM for usage by my son. But the Airtel store simply refused to issue a new SIM in the absence of Aadhaar. Finally, I had to relent.” Those visiting the country fare no better. Sapan B, an NRI settled in the US, faced a similar issue when he recently came visiting his relatives in Delhi. “I was not given a SIM card without Aadhaar. Is it fair, especially when there is no directive to this effect by the government or the courts?”

Mumbai, Apr 27 (PTI): Micro lender-turned commercial bank Bandhan Bank today posted a 20.3 per cent growth in March quarter net at Rs 388 crore, but reported a fourfold spike in bad loans in its core micro-lending portfolio. For the entire fiscal year 2018, the Kolkatabased bank, which went public last month, reported a 21 per cent growth in bottom line at Rs 1,346 crore. The bank said the overhang of the triple blows of note-ban, GST introduction and farm loan waiver is still visible in the micro-lending segment which constitutes as much as 72 per cent of its assets.

In a press release, DB&CA general secretary, Gupta, said “Due to the abnormal increase in the cost of raw materials and oil, the Dimapur bakers have no choice but to increase the rate of our bakery products”. The bakers stated that retail price of bread 400gm would now cost Rs.30, bread 800gm Rs.60, sweet bread Rs.40, brown bread Rs.40 and multigrain bread Rs.60. The association stated that the revised rates were subject to Dimapur district only.

refusing to issue new SIM cards to people who do not have an Aadhaar number -a clear violation of telecom sector rules as well as the views expressed by the top court. The telecom ministry, on its part, has maintained a deafening silence on the issue, though it had showed great alacrity in issuing the original diktat for the Aadhaar linkage. This order was based on the ministry’s own interpretation -- incorrect, as it turns out -- of an observation by the SC in the Lokniti Foundation case. The number of subscribers who have not linked their phone numbers to Aadhaar is still estimated to be in the hundreds of millions, and many don’t take kindly to being bombarded with unwanted communication. “It is irritating to say the least. The fear psychosis of disconnection is being unnecessarily thrust upon us to literally coerce people to link numbers with Aadhaar,” says Pravin, who recently shifted base from Chennai to Delhi. “I was denied a new

NEW DELHI, Apr 27 (Agencies): On Wednesday, the Supreme Court clarified that it had never asked for mobile phones to be linked to Aadhaar numbers. So, can you look forward to being spared from constant pesky calls and unwanted messages, mails and notifications from mobile service providers urging you to link or verify your numbers with the government’s digital directory? Don’t count on it. On Thursday, many cellphone users reported getting fresh messages pestering them over Aadhaar linkage, despite the SC’s statement. But then, telecom service providers seem to have made a habit of ignoring the SC. Even though the apex court had made it clear more than a month ago that the Aadhaar linkage issue should not be pursued until a constitutional bench finally decides on the matter, companies such as Airtel, Vodafone and Idea Cellular have been relentlessly – and rather annoyingly – hounding subscribers.

Mumbai, Apr 27 (PTI): After touching a life-time high, the country’s foreign exchange reserves fell by a whopping USD 2.499 billion to USD 423.582 billion in the week to April 20 due to a decrease in foreign currency assets, RBI data showed. In the previous week, the reserves had surged by USD 1.217 billion to touch a record high of USD 426.082 billion. It had crossed the USD 400-billion mark for the first time in the week to September 8, 2017, but has since been fluctuating. In the reporting week, the foreign currency assets, a major component of the overall reserves, declined by USD 2.492 billion to USD 398.485 billion. Expressed in the US dollar terms, the foreign currency assets include the effect of appreciation or depreciation of the nonUS currencies such as the euro, the pound and the yen held in the reserves. Gold reser ves remained unchanged at USD 21.484 billion in the reporting week, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said.

The SGST collection during the year, including the settlement of IGST has been Rs 2.91 lakh crore. The total compensation released to the States for a period of eight months during the last financial year was Rs 41,147 crore to ensure that the revenue of the states is protected at the level of 14 per cent over the base year tax collection in 2015-16. The revenue gap of each state is coming down over last eight months. The average revenue gap of all states for last year is around 17 per cent.

New Delhi, Apr 27 (PTI): India collected Rs 7.41 lakh crore in taxes in the first year of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) with revenues for a good part of four months not being accounted for because of the mid-year rollout and an accounting lag. The government had last reported a GST collection of Rs 7.17 lakh crore for the first eight months since the new tax regime that subsumed 17 central and state taxes on sale of goods and rendering of services was rolled out in July. For the period ending March 31, 2018, the GST collection has been put at Rs 7.41 lakh crore, a finance ministry statement said. The mere Rs 24,000 crore addition shown for March as against an average monthly collection of Rs 89,000 crore in the previous eight months indicated government desire to move to more current accounting methodology. At present, GST collections are accounted for only when returns after filed by the third week of the following month. From 2018-19 fiscal year that began this month, the government is shifting to

sate the states for revenue loss, an official said. Under GST, the tax levied on consumption of goods or rendering of service is split 50:50 between the Centre and the states. Such tax is known as Central-GST or CGST and State-GST or SGST. On inter-state movement of goods as well as imports, an Integrated-GST or IGST is levied, which accrues to the Centre. A cess is levied on top of these taxes on sin and luxury goods which make up for the compensation kitty used to make good of any revenue shortfall faced by states on implementation of GST. “While the tax on domestic supplies in a month is collected through the

Donald Trump slams Comey’s ‘leak’ denial

a key memo “was unclassified then.” But, as Fox News has previously reported, the Justice Department inspector general is looking into Comey’s handling of the memos – and Comey acknowledged in the interview that the IG has interviewed him. Trump, who earlier Thursday claimed Comey was “guilty of crimes,” fired back Friday on Twitter. “Is everybody believing what is going on. James Comey can’t define what a leak is. He illegally leaked CLASSIFIED INFORMATION but doesn’t understand what he did or how serious it is. He lied all over the place to cover it up. He’s either very sick

9,000 Nepalis to lose protected status in US Washington, Apr 27 (Agencies): Around 9,000 Nepalis allowed to remain in the United States since the devastating April 2015 earthquake will lose their protected status in June next year, the government said Thursday. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said a review of conditions in Nepal since the disaster showed they have improved and no longer support the “temporary protected status” (TPS) given to Nepalis. “Since the 2015 earthquake, conditions in Nepal have notably improved. Additionally, since the last review of the country`s conditions in October 2016, Nepal has made substantial progress in post-earthquake recovery and reconstruct i o n ,” D H S S e c r e t a r y Kirstjen Nielsen said in a statement. As a result,

“Nepal can now adequately manage the return of its nationals.” Nepalis with TPS have until June 24, 2019 to return. As part of its crackdown on illegal immigration, the administration of US President Donald Trump has been reviewing, and mostly cancelling, TPS programs for people of several nationalities allowed to remain in the country over long periods while their own homelands wrestled with disaster recovery. In Januar y around 200,000 Salvadorans were given an 18 month warning that they would lose protected status in place since the country was hit by two massive earthquakes. And in November last year around 59,000 Haitians permitted to stay since the Caribbean island`s 2010 earthquake were told they would have to leave in 18 months.

Syrians risk forfeiting homes under new law Damascus, Apr 27 (IANS): More than 10 million Syrians who have fled the countrys raging war have been told to lay claim to their homes by early May or risk forfeiting them to the state, the media reported on Friday. A property law announced this month has raised widespread fears that Syrian citizens who have opposed President Bashar al-Assad face permanent exile and that other people considered loyalists may be given access to their communities, reports the Guardian. With the majority of internally displaced and overseas refugees unable or unwilling

to return to prove ownership of properties, analysts and exiles say the law, known as Article 10, and the tight timeframe surrounding it could serve as an instrument of demographic change and social engineering. It has drawn parallels with laws enacted in Lebanon after the civil war to seize land in central Beirut, and the absentee property law in Israel in 1950 that legalised seizures from Palestinians driven from their lands. The Syrian law empowers local administrations to reregister property ownership within their areas, a move that requires landowners to be present.

IS shells parts of Damascus; 1 civilian killed BEIRUT, Apr 27 (Agencies): Syrian state media are reporting that members of the Islamic State group have shelled a governmentheld neighborhood in Damascus, killing one civilian and wounding four. The state news agency SANA says IS fighters shelled the neighborhood of Qadam on Friday as government forces and their allies pushed deeper into the nearby Hajar al-Aswad neighbourhood, reported Foxnews. The weeklong fighting in Hajar al-Aswad and the nearby Palestinian refugee camp of Yarmouk has killed dozens of fighters. The area is the last district out of government control in Damascus and its capture would boost security in Syrian President Bashar Assad’s seat of power.

Mike Pompeo sworn in as US secy of state WASHINGTON, Apr 27 (agencies): Mike Pompeo took over as America’s top diplomat on Thursday after being confirmed by the Senate and sworn in across the street minutes later. The new secretary of state immediately dashed off to Europe in an energetic start befitting the highstakes issues awaiting him from Iran to North Korea. The hard-charging former CIA director was confirmed on a 57-42 vote — one of the slimmest margins for the job in recent history. Every past nominee to get a roll call vote since at least the Carter administration received 85 or more yes votes in the Senate, with the exception of Trump’s first secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, who got 56. He was sworn in at the Supreme Court by Justice Samuel Alito, a fellow Italian-American, who said

he was “proud” to officiate for the occasion. Pompeo, in a statement relayed by the State Department, said he was “delighted” to serve as America’s top diplomat. “ I a m c o m p l e t e ly humbled by the responsibility and looking forward to serving the American people and getting to work right away,” Pompeo said. Then it was off to Andrews Air Force Base, where a government aircraft

was waiting to ferry him to Brussels for meetings at NATO headquarters. State Department staffers, demoralized after a tumultuous first year of President Donald Trump’s administration, gave a round of applause to Pompeo, who responded as he boarded the aircraft with a casual, “Hi, I’m Mike.” Pompeo, a former Republican congressman from Kansas, is expected to guide Trump’s foreign policy farther to the right than Tillerson, the former Exxon Mobil CEO fired by Trump on Twitter last month. He inherits a State Department that has lost relevance under Trump and a diplomatic corps deeply dispirited by the tenure of Tillerson, who pushed budget and staff cuts and eschewed public appearances while leaving key diplomatic positions unfilled.

Fresh clashes in South Sudan ‘devastating’ for civilians: UN JUBA, South Sudan, Apr 27 (Agencies): The United Nations says a new surge in violence in South Sudan’s civil war is having “devastating impact” on thousands of people ahead of peace talks that are now set to resume next month. A statement on Friday reports gunfire overnight near one U.N. temporary peacekeeping base in Leer where 600 civilians have sought shelter in recent days. “More than 30 humanitarian workers have been relocated over the past two weeks because it is too dangerous for them to operate in the midst of the escalating conflict. Thousands of people have fled into swamp,” the U.N. says of the new clashes in the Unity, Jonglei and Central Equatorias regions.

Washington, Apr 27 (Agencies): President Trump slammed James Comey on Friday for denying in a Fox News interview that his decision to share memos detailing his conversations with the president constituted a leak – saying his former FBI director is “either very sick or very dumb.” Comey, whom Trump fired in May 2017, denied Thursday that sharing the memos with his legal team constituted a leak of classified information, Fox news reported. “I didn’t consider it part of an FBI file,” Comey told Fox News’ Bret Baier during an appearance on “Special Report.” He compared the process to keeping a “diary” and maintained

they could suffer more challenges,” he added, calling the clashes “the worst conflict” since Kachin soldiers started fighting the government in the early 1960s. He declined to give details of the casualties sustained by the KIA or its military deployment. Myanmar’s military and civilian government officials did not immediately respond to requests from Reuters for comment. Aid groups have urged the government to allow access to the village of Aung Lawt, where about 2,000 people have been trapped in a remote forest with no access to humanitarian aid for two weeks. “The longer it takes, the more challenging it is for them. And most of the people are elderly, women and children,” said Gum Sha Aung, an official of a coalition of Kachin-based humanitarian groups. The United States embassy in Yangon said it was “deeply concerned” about intensified fighting in Kachin. In a Twitter message on Friday, it urged the government and military to “protect civilian populations and allow humanitarian assistance” to those affected by the recent conflicts.

YANGON , A p r 2 7 (Agencies): Fighting between Myanmar forces and a rebel group in the remote northeast could escalate, a spokesman of the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) told Reuters on Friday, worsening a humanitarian crisis that has displaced more than 4,000 people. One of Myanmar’s most powerful rebel groups, the KIA has regularly clashed with government troops in the mountainous region bordering China and India since 2011, when a 17-year-old ceasefire broke down, Reuters reported. Since early April, the conflict has escalated, driving more than 4,000 people from their homes, civil society groups based in Kachin have said. Clashes have been reported in half of the 18 townships in the region, where the Myanmar military has sent about 2,000 infantry troops, fighter aircraft and helicopters to combat KIA forces, said the spokesman, Col Naw Bu. “The army is sending more troops from the lower part of Myanmar and that’s why the fighting will be more intense,” he said. “The number of refugees could increase and

or very dumb. Remember sailor!” he wrote. His mention of the “sailor” apparently was a reference to Kristian Saucier, the former U.S. Navy sailor who served a year behind bars for taking photos of classified areas in a nuclear submarine. Trump recently pardoned him. Comey, in the Fox News interview, acknowledged giving the memos to at least three people including his friend, Columbia University law professor Daniel Richman. He said he sent Richman a copy of the two-page unclassified memo and “asked him to get the substance of it out to the media” -- which he did. “The reason I’m smiling, Bret,” Comey said, “I don’t consider what I shared Mr. Richman a leak.” Testifying before the Senate Intelligence Committee last year, Comey said he made the decision to document his interactions with Trump in a way that would not trigger security classification. He also testified that he avoided putting classified material in the memos so that they could be more widely shared.

Abba announce first new music since 1982

Gorel Hanser described the new songs, saying: “The sound will be familiar, but also modern.” The studio sessions were “like old times”, she told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet. “Easy as anything. It didn’t feel weird that they hadn’t been in the studio together for 35 years.” But Hanser said the group would not perform live, other than as holograms in the forthcoming Abba Avatar tour. “No, you can not expect them to join forces on stage again,” she said. “They will not do that.” The band have resisted pressure to reform since they stopped recording together in 1982, despite a reported

M

ason Ramsey has released his debut single ‘Famous’, less than a month after the 11-year-old was catapulted to worldwide fame. Ramsey became a online sensation after he was filmed performing a brilliantly unique rendition of Hank Williams’ ‘Lovesick Blues’ in the aisles of his local Wal-Mart in Illinois. The performance transformed Ramsey into a star, resulting in an appearance on ‘Ellen’, as well as a surprise performance at Coachella – where he met Justin Bieber. Now, he’s released his debut single, and it’s a laid back country track that sees the youngster reflecting on his new-found fame. “It’s pretty cool to be on T.V, so all the folks back home can see me”, Ramsey sings at the beginning of ‘Famous’. It then takes an unexpectedly tender direction, with the youngster proving himself to be quite the romantic.

op group Abba have returned to the studio to record their first new music since the 1980s. The Swedish quartet said the new material was an “unexpected consequence” of their recent decision to put together a “virtual reality” tour. “We all four felt that, after some 35 years, it could be fun to join forces again and go into the studio,” the band said on Instagram. “And it was like time stood still.” No release date has been set for the new songs but one of them, titled I Still Have Faith In You, will be performed in December on a TV special broadcast by the BBC and NBC.

on 20 July. Formed in 1972, Abba were essentially a Swedish supergroup, consisting of songwriters Ulvaeus and Andersson from The Hep Stars and singers Faltskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, who had scored success as solo artists. But their joint project completely eclipsed their previous successes. After winning the Eurovision Song Contest with Waterloo in 1974, the band sold almost 400 million singles and albums around the world. Mamma Mia!, the musical based on their hits and produced by Ulvaeus and Andersson, has been seen by more than 50 million people. During their most successful period, the band survived marriage breakups between Ulvaeus and Faltskog, and Lyngstad and Andersson, but they finally called it a day in 1983. Their final recording sessions, in 1982, produced the hits Under Attack and The Day Before You Came, which featured on the compilation album The Singles. Their last public performance came three years later, on the Swedish version of TV show This Is Your Life, which honoured their manager Stig Anderson. (BBC)

Saina enters Asia Badminton C’ship semis

Saina Nehwal

Wuhan, Apr 27 (PTI): Two-time Commonwealth Games gold medallist Saina Nehwal and world no 10 H S Prannoy progressed to the semifinals of the women’s and men’s singles competition at the Asia Badminton Championship here Friday. Former world No 1 Saina showed her class as she dumped unseeded Korean Lee Jang Mi 21-15 21-13 in a 43-minute clash. She will face world no 1 Tai Tzu Ying of Chinese

Taipei next. “I am pleased with my game. Right now my confidence is at a high and I hope to go beyond the semis,” said London Olympics bronze medallist Saina. Prannoy, who had missed out of a medal at the Commonwealth Games, dug deep into his reservoir to eke out a hard-fought 18-21 23-21 21-12 win over second seeded Korean Son Wan Ho in a match that lasted an hour and 12 min-

utes. He will face Olympic champion and third seed Chen Long next. However, Olympic silver medallist PV Sindhu and top seed Kidambi Srikanth bowed out of the tournament after suffering straight game losses. While Sindhu, who had won a silver at the recent Commonwealth Games, lost 19-21 10-21 to seventh seeded Korean Sung Ji Hyun, Srikanth was too erratic and went down 12-21 15-21 to

legendary Malaysian Lee Chong Wei, who showed he is not on the wane despite his spate of recent losses. Brimming with confidence after winning the gold medal at the Gold Coast, in-form Saina showed great temperment as she bounced back from 3-8 and 9-13 deficits respectively, to first turn the tables at 14-13 and then walked away with the opening game. The world no 15 Korean simply failed to put up a fight in the second game as Saina stamped her authority with a 8-1 lead. Lee Jang reduced the gap to 8-12 but the Indian quickly made upward movements to seal the contest without much ado. Sindhu, meanwhile, failed to get across 2015 World Championships bronze medallist Sung Ji, an opponent she has played 11 times, winning seven of those encounters. The 22-year-old Indian, who had recovered from an ankle sprain midway through the Commonwealth Games, squandered a 16-12 advantage to allow Sung Ji pocket the opening game. Sindhu simply wasn’t good enough in the second game as the Korean jumped

Munich, Apr 27 (IANS): Bayern Munich’s central defender Jerome Boateng will be out for the rest of the club football season due to thigh injury, the German record champions have said.

A lot was expected from Srikanth after his win over Chong Wei en route to India’s maiden gold in mixed team event at CWG but the Malaysian today came out with all cylinders blazing, moving to a massive 13-4 lead in the opening game and closing the opening game without breaking a sweat. Chong Wei, who had defeated Srikanth for the individual gold at Gold Coast, kept his distance from the Indian in the second game as well after moving to a 10-8 lead. Despite Srikanth’s best efforts, Chong Wei walked away with the game and the match. “This is my worst performance in an international tournament,” said a disappointed Srikanth after the loss. “I was never in the game and simply gave him (Chong Wei) many opportunities to get points. I wanted an error free game but it turned out to be otherwise.”

Emery to leave PSG at end of season

Paris, Apr 27 (Agencies): Unai Emery has announced he will leave French champions Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season. Despite leading the club to its fifth league title in six years, Emery will step down from his role as head coach after the decision was made not to renew the twoyear deal he signed when he arrived from Sevilla in 2016. A statement from Emery read, “I have communicated to the players that I am leaving. I thank president Nasser Al Khelaifi, the director of sport Antero Henrique, the supporters and all the players for these two seasons.” PSG disappointed in Europe once more this term, failing to progress beyond the last 16 of the Champions League. During his two-year spell at the Parc des Princes, Emery has won the league and three domestic cups, with a fourth on the horizon against third division side Les Herbies in the final of the Coupe de France on May 8.

Europa League: Atletico hold Gunners 1-1 minutes came to an end goalless. The second period was a much tighter affair, with Atletico defending resolutely until Lacazette found the breakthrough on the hour-mark from Wilshere’s deep hanging cross. T h e f o r m e r Lyo n striker rose above Lucas at the far post to head into the ground and past Oblak after Wilshere reached the byline following a swift give-and-go with Ramsey. Arsenal hoped that

would be the start of the floodgates opening, but Atletico stood firm as Lacazette’s header from Mesut Ozil’s corner flew past the far post, before the Gunners were punished for their profligacy. Laurent Koscielny failed to deal with a long ball and Griezmann pounced on the mistake, first denied by Ospina but able to dink the ball over the grounded Shkodran Mustafi on the rebound to score the all-important away goal.

Arsenal made much the brighter start in what was Wenger’s final European home game and the hosts should have been ahead inside six minutes when Lacazette was picked out by Danny Welbeck, but the Frenchman volleyed wide and Oblak made a point-blank save from the striker’s header moments later. Atletico were reduced to 10 men when Vrsaljko already on a booking for a foul on Jack Wilshere after 75 seconds - was shown his

second caution for catching Lacazette on the ankle. With Simeone ushered to the stands after protesting that Hector Bellerin should have been booked, the Gunners were denied again as Oblak spread his legs to thwart Welbeck before Griezmann fired two warning signs in quick succession. The lethal Frenchman, who has now scored 14 goals in his last 14 games, forced David Ospina into two smart saves but an eventful first 45

L o n d o n, A p r 2 7 (Agencies): Antoine Griezmann’s strike eight minutes from time earned 10-man Atletico Madrid a 1-1 draw against Arsenal in the Europa League semi-final first leg at the Emirates. Alexandre Lacazette’s third goal in as many games in the competition gave Arsene Wenger’s side the lead after Sime Vrsaljko had been sent off, but poor defending allowed Griezmann to score a vital away goal on the counter-attack.

Atletico, who also had manager Diego Simeone sent to the stands moments after Vrsaljko’s dismissal, will be strong favourites to reach the final heading into the second leg at the Wanda Metropolitano next Thursday. Arsenal, who dominated the ball throughout the evening, came close to recovering from Griezmann’s late intervention but Jan Oblak sprung to his right to dramatically keep out Aaron Ramsey’s header.

Olympique Marseille took a big step toward a third Europa League final berth by defeating Red Bull Salzburg 2-0 here at the Velodrome Stadium, with Florian Thauvin and Clinton N’Jie doing the scoring. The Ligue 1 club had been unable to get on the scoreboard in two group-stage matches against the Austrian team during this season’s edition of Europe’s secondary club competition. But Dominique Payet finally was able to break down Salzburg’s defence with a perfectly placed pass on a free kick in the 16th minute on Thursday night. The ball soared out of the reach of goalkeeper Alexander Walke and all the way to Thauvin, who came up behind defender Andreas Ulmer and headed the ball into the back of the net. The deficit prompted Salzburg head coach Marco Rose to adopt a more attacking strategy, and it nearly paid off when Stefan Lainer clamored for a penalty on a challenge by Maxime Lopez in the 53rd minute. Just moments later, Marseille net minder Yohann Pele had to make a diving save of a shot by Hannes Wolf from the penalty arc. But Payet made his presence felt a second time in the 64th minute when he made a simple but effective pass to Clinton N’Jie, who dribbled forward a couple of steps and then slotted a shot just inside the right upright to make the score 2-0. Marseille, which was runner-up in this competition in 1999 and 2004, and Salzburg (runner-up in 1994) will play the second leg on May 3 at Red Bull Arena in WalsSiezenheim, Austria.

Andres Iniesta to leave Barcelona after 22 years

Andres Iniesta

Barcelona, Apr 27 (Agencies): Andres Iniesta has announced he will be leaving Barcelona this summer after 22 years at the club. The 33-year-old’s announcement came during a press conference at Barcelona’s training ground on Friday, bringing an end to a glittering career at the Nou Camp. The midfielder was in tears during the announcement, which was attended by his Barcelona team-mates. Iniesta, a World Cup winner with Spain, won eight La Liga titles, with a ninth set to be secured in the coming weeks, alongside four Champions League wins and six Copa del Rey crowns. Iniesta is expected to move to Chinese Super League club Chongqing Dangdai Lifan, with their president Gong Daxing recently admitting they are in negotiations with the Barcelona midfielder.

“This is my last season here,” he said on Friday. “I have thought my decision through for a long time. For me, Barca is the best club in the world - this club has given me everything. I would like to thank my team-mates and everyone who accompanied me every day, they made me be better. It’s been a dream come true, lots of titles, important moments throughout my career. I am very happy to have played for this club. I am proud.” Regarding his future, Iniesta said, “There are still things to work out, different things. I said I would never play against Barca, so it’s not going to be in Europe. We will know at the end of the season.” “I’m almost 34, I’ve left everything out on the field, I’ve given everything to the club, and if I couldn’t give everything up to now, I wouldn’t be happy. I want to be happy, like I have been here.”

Delhi Daredevils beat Kolkata Knight Riders by 55 runs New Delhi, Apr 27 (PTI): Thrust into leadership role in a grim situation, young Shreyas Iyer responded with a whirlwind 93-run knock as Delhi Daredevils, seeking revival in IPL, hammered Kolkata Knight Riders by 55 runs. Sent into bat, the Daredevils batsmen fired in unison to put on board a massive 219 for four with the two young batsmen from Mumbai – Iyer (93 off 40) and Prithvi Shaw (62) enthralling the fans with their elegant knocks. Iyer and Shaw added 68 runs for the second wicket after the latter had shared a 59-run partnership for the first wicket with Kiwi batsman Colin Munro (33). Batting like a manpossessed, Iyer hammered young pacer Shivam Mavi for four sixes and a four in the last over of the innings as Daredevils collected 76 runs from the last four. Iyer, who replaced Gautam Gambhir as captain, sent the ball soaring over the ropes 10 times and hit the fence thrice while

in Powerplay overs. Paceman Trent Boult struck twice to send back Robin Uthappa (1) and Sunil Narine (26) after Maxwell saw the back of Chris Lynn (5). Captain Dinesh Karthik had an enormous task at hand as his side was reeling at 51 for four after six overs but all he managed was 18 off as many balls. KKR needed 137 from the last 10 overs and everything depended on Andre Russell (44 off 30). The burly West Indian went on a six-hitting spree, sending the ball over the fence four times. The equation became Delhi Daredevils player Prithvi Shaw plays a shot against Kolkata Knight Riders during the IPL T20 match at Feroz Shah Kotla in New Delhi on Friday. (PTI)

Shaw hit seven fours and two sixes. KKR fielders dropped Iyer twice and paid a very heavy price for the mistake. His innings overshadowed the tremendous work done by Shaw, who joined Sanju Samson as the youngest player to hit a fifty in IPL,

aged 18. Glenn Maxwell too played a crucial role in Daredevils’ splendid show with his 27-run knock as the hosts posted their best total of the season. Needing seven wins from eight matches to stay in Play-offs contention,

the hosts restricted Knight Riders to 164 for nine, taking revenge for their 71-run loss at Eden Gardens. Having conceded a total, never put against them in the history of IPL, KKR needed a fiery start but their chase was deflated when they lost four wickets

80 from five overs, and with Russell at the crease, it was not an impossible task. But Shubman Gill was run out after making 37 runs and sharing a 64-run stand with Russell. Spinners Amit Mishra (2/23) and pacers Lima Plunkett and Avesh Khan dried up the runs in the middle overs to turn the tide in hosts’ favour.
