Village councils spurn Govt’s belated relief Correspondent
MOKOKCHUNG, AUG 26 (NPN): In a case of too little and too late, the Chuchuyimlang EAC circle village councils have rejected the assistance offered by the state government on account of the unprecedented cyclonic storm on May 1, 2016 and May 9, 2018 that uprooted and destroyed many houses and farm lands. This was disclosed to media persons at a briefing by Chuchuyimlang Salang, Chairman of the Chuchuyimlang village council, Aosanen Pongen. Aosanen said that the village councils along with the village level disaster management, had prepared a detailed assessment of the damages incurred after being asked to do so, by the government. However, after the lapse of many years, the village councils of the cited circle, received a notification from the District Adminis-

tration to collect relief for the victims. To their astonishment, Aosanen said the relief turned out to be a mere 50 Kg Rice bag from the Department of Supply for each of those affected. Each bag cost Rs. 150 whereas the damages incurred were to the tune of some lakhs of rupees. Aosanen said the relief was dispersed
under the same letter head of the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund and Nagaland State Disaster Management Agency (NSDMA). He said this confused the elders and therefore, the Chuchuyimlang EAC Circle villages wanted to know as to which of the two offered the relief. When asked about what would be their next step, Aosanen said the vil-
lage councils would give one week time to the state government to respond to their memorandum. Meanwhile all members agreed with the point of the chairman of Yaongyimti Old that receiving the Rs. 150 bag of rice was more of a burden for the village council because the transportation cost will be costlier than the relief.

DIMAPUR, AUG 26 (NPN): In a snub to the Naga Hoho, the Sumi Hoho, Western Sumi Hoho and Naga Council Dimapur have asked their members not to attend the Naga Hoho meeting scheduled to be held on August 28 at Agri Expo Dimapur.

organisation of all Nagas. In a press release, LPO chairman Sulanthung Humtsoe and general secretary Zaremo Kikon stated that LPO, Dimapur based unit members, different ranges, circles and areas from Wokha district would be attending the meeting showcasing Lotha traditional attire. LPO said Lotha soil has been an important landmark in the Naga national movement, adding that formation of NH was also an idea conceived by the Lothas under the leadership of former Lotha Hoho chairman R Yanthan in 1994. Therefore, venerating Wokha district as a historical landmark, LPO said it was determined to restore back the NH. It also urged all tribal leaders to rebuild the “broken and fragmented” Naga society and “come on board for dogmatic transformation, reformation and restoration of Naga Hoho.” K Y M C

Manipur Assembly session begins
First day of monsoon session in progress on Monday. (NP) Correspondent
IMPHAL, Aug 26: Manipur Legislative Assembly on Monday has resolved to rename Imphal International Airport as ‘Bir Tikendrajit International Airport’, who fought valiantly against the British. The resolution was moved by the leader of the house, chief minister, N Biren Singh, the first day of the eight session of the 11th Manipur Legislative Assembly. “Bir Tikendrajit Inter-
national Airport” connects Northeastern India with the country’s major cities such as Bengaluru, Delhi, Guwahati, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Mumbai. More than ten flights land at the airport from different destinations every day. During the calling attention hour, the chief minister N Biren Singh, who is also in-charge of home department also informed the house that the state government has decided to hand over the case of death of 12-year-old girl student
on July 18 to CBI. Earlier, the house took up obituary reference for the three former members of the state Assembly Holkhomang Haokip, Dr Mashangthem Horam and M Chungkhosei. The house further paid respect to former secretary of Manipur Legislative Assembly secretariat A Halim Chowdhury. Leader of the House, N Biren Singh moved the obituary reference with the permission from the Speaker of the House.
The chief minister remembered the contribution of the deceased members of the House. In his obituary remark, opposition leader, O Ibobi Singh recalled 30 years back of his association with late Holkhomang Haokip during 1985-86.

Ceasefire pact with Kuki militant groups extended Imp h a l , A u g 2 6 (Agencies): The Suspension of Operations (SoO) agreement signed between the Kuki militant outfits of Manipur and the Centre had been extended by six months opening the way for more peaceful deliberations. According to NE Now, the agreement on Suspension of Operation (SoO) by the security forces was signed by the Central government with the Kuki National Organisation (KNO) and the United People’s Front (UPF) of Manipur last in 2018. However, before the extension of the six month period, the suspension of operation was to be continued until August 31, 2019. The decision for extending the ceasefire agreement had been taken at a meeting in Imphal on Saturday. The meeting was attended by Manipur chief minister Biren Singh, representatives of the two militant outfits and various representatives of the state and central government. The two Kuki apex militant bodies as well as several other organisations of the community are demanding carving out of a separate Kuki state out of Manipur.
NRC: BJP questions revision process; Congress promises free legal aid Guwahati, Aug 26 (PTI): With days left for publication of the final NRC on August 31,the ruling BJP in Assam on Monday attacked state coordinator Prateek Hajela, claiming he was undertaking the updation exercise in consultation with “just 2-3 organisations” which could lead to inclusion of foreigners in the list. The opposition Congress, on its part, announced that it will provide free legal aid to genuine Indian citizens, whose names do not figure in the final National Register of Citizens. Assam Pradesh Congress Committee president Ripun Bora told reporters that his party will ensure that no injustice is done to the genuine Indian citizens. The final NRC list, which will identify bona fide citizens of Assam, is set to be published on August 31. The exercise of updating the NRC, unique to Assam, is being conducted under the supervision of the Supreme Court. Addressing a press meet here, BJP state president Ranjit Dass said people have told his party members that their names
had appeared in the first list, published in 2017, but was removed from the “final draft” in July last year. “NRC Coordinator Prateek Hajela had been carrying out the revision work based on his own opinion and those of two to three organisations, after the Supreme Court asked Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal not to interfere in the process,” Dass claimed. The state BJP chief, however, did not name the organizations he was referring to. In such a situation, it is difficult for Assam to come up with an error-free register, he said. “We have received feedback. Many have told us their names appeared in the first NRC list, but went missing from the final draft. These people had to appear several times in different offices for re-verification of their documents. “Also, there are reports that people who have been declared ‘foreigners’ were being engaged for the NRC citizenship verification work,” he explained. Dass claimed that names of descendants of freedom fighters and As-
sam agitation martyrs were excluded during the verification process. Claiming that the saffron party was not satisfied with the revision process, Dass urged the Centre and the state government to take action against “doubtful” citizens only after a proper investigation. State Congress president also held a press meet and asserted “The Congress legal cell will provide help free of cost to those genuine Indian citizens whose names are missing from the NRC list to ensure that no injustice is done to them”. Bora welcomed Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal’s statement that anybody creating law and order problem in the state would be arrested, but added “he should begin with his own party MLA Shiladitya Dev, who has been making provocative statements related to NRC for long”. Bora appealed to the people of the state to maintain peace and calm as the Congress will ensure that no genuine citizens of the country were left out of the NRC.

Chidambaram’s CBI custody extended
NEW DELHI, AUG 26 (PTI): A special court on Monday sent former finance minister P Chidambaram to four more days of CBI custody till August 30 in the INX Media case after the probe agency said “certain evidence” had emerged and that the Congress leader’s confrontation with a co-accused during interrogation was incomplete. The Central Bureau of Investigation(CBI) had sought extension of Chidambaram’s custody by five days to confront him with certain e-mails and to unearth larger conspiracy in the corruption case in the INX Media scam. Special Judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar said the CBI demand was “justified” for further interrogating the Congress leader in its custody. Chidambaram, 73, was produced in the special court on the expiry of his four-day CBI custody which was granted to the agency on August 22, a day after he was arrested amid high drama from his Delhi residence. His counsel Kapil Sibal opposed the CBI plea during the hearing, saying the agency was not disclosing “full facts” of the case to the court. “CBI’s investigation is clouded. This method of seeking remand behind curtains is not fair.” After speaking to Chidambaram for two minutes, Sibal said in the previous remand application, there was a mention of USD 5 million and not a single document was put to him on this during four days of interrogation. He said the case cannot be sensationalised, and not a single question with regard to shell companies as also bank accounts has been asked to Chidambaram. The Supreme Court, meanwhile, extended till
P Chidambaram after being produced at a CBI court in the INX media case, in New Delhi, Monday. (PTI)
Tuesday the protection from arrest given to Chidambaram in the separate money laundering case lodged by the Enforcement Directorate(ED). A bench comprising justices R Banumathi and A S Bopanna, however, refused to entertain his petition challenging the dismissal of anticipatory bail in a corruption case lodged by the CBI in the INX Media scam, saying since he has been arrested it has become infructuous. Special Judge Kuhar allowed Chidambaram’s family members and lawyers to meet him for half-an-hour daily during the CBI custody. “Investigation is the prerogative of the investigating officer which he has to conduct within the framework of law... I am of the view that further police custody remand of accused P Chidambaram is justified and accordingly, the accused is remanded to further police custody till August 30,” the judge said. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta and Additional Solicitor General K N Nataraj, representing the CBI, said there was sufficient ground for extension of Chidambaram’s custodial interrogation as he was confronted with a co-accused from August 23-26.
The confrontation with the co-accused is not complete, the prosecutors said, and placed before the court a file containing e-mail exchanges between the accused. “We need five days of custody of Chidambaram as the confrontation with co-accused will continue to unearth larger conspiracy,” Mehta contended without divulging the name of the co-accused. He said investigation of the ED is going on simultaneously and the CBI has received information from it. On being asked by the judge as to what the CBI has done in the last four days, the agency placed before the court relevant records. The Solicitor General said it was necessary to confront Chidambaram with relevant e-mails and it was absolutely relevant to go into the roots of the issue. “Certain documents and evidence have emerged which need to be confronted and probed,” he argued. He said the ED has filed an affidavit before the Supreme Court in the money laundering case and has shared evidence with the CBI regarding which further interrogation is required. Sibal opposed the reference made by Mehta to the documents filed by the ED. He claimed that ques-

Cases of Maoist violence numbering 8,782 were reported during 200913 as against 4,969 during 2014-18, a reduction of 43.4 per cent. In these cases, about 3,000 people, including security personnel, lost their lives during the 2009-13 period as against over 1,200 people who were killed in 2014-18, the official said. A total of 1,400 Maoists were killed between 2009 and 2018. As many as 310 incidents of Maoist violence were reported in the first five months this year across the country in which 88 people were killed. The Centre is implementing special assistance for most Maoist-affected districts with an annual outlay of Rs 1,000 crore to fill critical gaps in public infrastructure and services.

tions regarding the e-mails were already asked and Chidambaram has answered them. “There has been 26 hours of questioning. Still nothing asked on all these issues,” he said, adding that he wants CBI to put correct facts before the court. “At least the process of investigation should be fair,” Sibal said, maintaining that the agency should show the documents relied by it in the court. The Solicitor General said Letters Rogatory (LRs) have been sent to five countries and the investigators are trying to link the transactions of the accused related with the case. “There is prima facie evidence to link the accused with USD 5 million. We are awaiting response on LRs from the five countries,” Mehta told the court. LRs are a formal request from a court to a foreign court for certain judicial assistance. Sibal said an accused cannot be put in custody till the investigators get the evidence and asked the agency to show basis of allegation of USD 5 million against Chidambaram. During the hearing, the court questioned the manner in which the case diary was placed before it. Sibal also objected to the format of the case diary. To this, the CBI said that the case diary was in loose pages as the format booklet was out of stock. Chidambaram’s wife Nalini and son Karti were also present in the court. The CBI had registered an FIR on May 15, 2017, alleging irregularities in the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) clearance granted to the INX Media group for receiving overseas funds of Rs 305 crore in 2007 during Chidambaram’s tenure as the finance minister.

Lungs on fire
outh America’s famous Amazon rainforest, covering much of northwestern Brazil and extending into Colombia, Peru and other South American countries, is the world’s largest tropical rainforest with a total area of 5.5 million square kilometres. The rainforest is famed for its biodiversity and crisscrossed by thousands of rivers, including the powerful Amazon. River towns, with 19th-century architecture from rubber-boom days, include Brazil’s Manaus and Belém and Peru’s Iquitos and Puerto Maldonado. The rainforest has been in existence for at least 55 million years, and most of the region remained free of savanna-type biomes at least until the current ice age when the climate was drier and savanna more widespread. The region is home to about 2.5 million insect species, tens of thousands of plants, and some 2,000 birds and mammals. To date, at least 40,000 plant species, 2,200 fishes, 1,294 birds, 427 mammals, 428 amphibians, and 378 reptiles have been scientifically classified in the region. The Amazon rainforest is dwindling at a rapid rate and that spells imminent doom since the rainforest is the world’s lungs. The rainforest’s trees also help remove harmful carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it into oxygen. Fewer trees equal more of the gas that experts believe is behind global warming. More than 20 percent of the Amazon rainforest is already gone, and much more is severely threatened as the destruction continues. It is estimated that the Amazon alone is vanishing at a rate of 20,000 square miles a year. If nothing is done to curb this trend, the entire Amazon could well be gone within fifty years. The Amazon is under attack from human depredation. It’s a perfect storm of climate change and industrial activity that’s effectively drying out the place, with two recent droughts helping to speed up the process. Seventy percent of Earth’s land animals and plants live in forests, and many cannot survive the deforestation that destroys their homes.” The trees of the rainforest that provide shelter for some species also provide the canopy that regulates the temperature, a necessity for many others. At the core of the matter of the surge in fires comes amid growing concerns over Brazil’s far-right president Jair Bolsonaro’s rollback of environmental protections. Under Bolsonaro’s administration, Brazil has aimed to roll back some of its long time policies protecting the Amazon — a massive carbon reserve essential to fighting the effects of global warming — by pulling back on efforts that combat illegal logging, ranching and mining in the rainforest. He has openly advocated turning the rich Amazon rainforest for agriculture. He has not shied away from marketing his probusiness vision for the Amazon, saying multiple times he supports opening the rainforest for mining and agriculture exploration. He is also outspoken about his anti-indigenous views, having said he would not “demarcate one centimetre more of native reserves” during his presidency. Bolsonaro and other Brazilian politicians have empowered people to clear the land they want as part of what they see as a battle against those who want to preserve the Amazon. Culturally, agricultural growth is measured by land expansions, not by the number of cattle or crops produced, he says. That further encourages people toward seeking more land. Bolsonaro has belatedly pressed the military to fight the fires he inspired after France threatened to cut off aid. However it is hoped the efforts will not be too little and too late.
DailyDevotion Are You Ever Troubled? Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you… —John 14:27 There are times in our lives when our peace is based simply on our own ignorance. But when we are awakened to the realities of life, true inner peace is impossible unless it is received from Jesus. When our Lord speaks peace, He creates peace, because the words that He speaks are always “spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63). Have I ever received what Jesus speaks? “…My peace I give to you…”— a peace that comes from looking into His face and fully understanding and receiving His quiet contentment. Are you severely troubled right now? Are you afraid and confused by the waves and the turbulence God sovereignly allows to enter your life? Have you left no stone of your faith unturned, yet still not found any well of peace, joy, or comfort? Does your life seem completely barren to you? Then look up and receive the quiet contentment of the Lord Jesus. Reflecting His peace is proof that you are right with God, because you are exhibiting the freedom to turn your mind to Him. If you are not right with God, you can never turn your mind anywhere but on yourself. Allowing anything to hide the face of Jesus Christ from you either causes you to become troubled or gives you a false sense of security. With regard to the problem that is pressing in on you right now, are you “looking unto Jesus” (Hebrews 12:2) and receiving peace from Him? If so, He will be a gracious blessing of peace exhibited in and through you. But if you only try to worry your way out of the problem, you destroy His effectiveness in you, and you deserve whatever you get. We become troubled because we have not been taking Him into account. When a person confers with Jesus Christ, the confusion stops, because there is no confusion in Him. Lay everything out before Him, and when you are faced with difficulty, bereavement, and sorrow, listen to Him say, “Let not your heart be troubled…” (John 14:27).
Quotes
With hard work and effort, you can achieve anything. ~ Antoine Griezmann
A
nthias are coral reef fish. Small with elongated bodies, they range from orange, pink, purple, yellow, and they live in large schools with mainly females and a few males. Anthias have an unusual adaptation. They are sequential hermaphrodites. This means they are born one sex, but can change to another. Anthias are all born female. When a male dies, one of the larger female anthias changes into a male. The change from female to male takes about two weeks. It includes a new reproductive system and a change in size, shape, and colour. However, if a school of anthias forms, with too many males, the male anthias change their sex again—and return to being female. With the removal of the dominant male from the harem, the next most aggressive female in line will change her sex. In a domestic aquarium, however, the change in anthias is sometimes not complete. In the wild the dominant male has a harem and mates with numerous females under his control. In an aquarium this is not easy to replicate, and females turning into males often get stuck in a male-female transition zone. Have you never wanted to be a member of the other sex? As society becomes more elastic in thought, so many people say that they feel they are in the wrong bodies. Thousands of plastic surgeons are in business to change human sexual organs. It takes dozens of painful operations. It is much easier for animals and plants. Sequential hermaphroditism occurs when the individual changes sex at
some point in its life, and produces eggs or sperm at different stages in life. Either the change is influenced by its society, or when it reaches a certain age or size. In animals, the different types of change are male to female (protandry), female to male (protogyny), female to hermaphrodite, and male to hermaphrodite. Protandry occurs in many fish, mollusks, and crustaceans. Clownfish live in a society, where one breeding pair lives in a sea anemone. The female is the largest and the male is the second largest. The rest of the group is made up of smaller non-breeders with no sexual organs. If the female dies, the male gains weight and becomes the female for that group. The largest non-breeding fish then sexually matures and becomes the male of the group. Protandrous hermpahrodites start out life as males, and, where social pressures dictate, are capable of sex changing into fully functional females. If the Disney film Finding Nemo were accurate, instead of trying to find a wife for his son, after his wife was eaten by a barracuda, Marlin would have partnered up with another male and then proceeded to change his sex. Other examples of protandrous animals include: comb jellies, flatworms, the Mormon Fritillary butterfly - small orange, black and silver. Laevapex fuscus is a small, freshwater, airbreathing limpet. First the males emerge and produces sperm in late winter, then a certain number turn into females and copulate with the males after which the eggs mature. Marine sea star species, like the Common
Nagaland Post, Dimapur TUESDAY, AUGUST 27, 2019
Can change to another Cushion Star, change gender from male to female like clockwork. The first three years as a male and the next three as a female. One of the reasons for this change could be the size advantage. Eggs are larger than sperm, so larger individuals are able to make more eggs. The group can enlarge faster by increasing their reproductive potential, by beginning life as male and then turning female upon achieving a certain size. Protogynous animals are bor n female and, at some point in their lifespan, become male. All female protogynous species possess germ cells for both sex organs and, when the social situation calls for a change in sex, are capable of suppressing the female gonads and developing male ones. As the female ages and grows bigger she will turn into a male. In these systems, large males use aggressive territorial defence to dominate female mating. Which is why it makes sense for a large female to become male. Parrot fish are mostly born female, but can become male at any point in their lives. After their transformation, some will become super-males — larger than the typical male parrot fish and exhibiting extravibrant colouring. Wrasses are one of the largest families of coral reef fish. Large males hold territories. In the California Sheephead
Wrasse, sex change is age-dependent. All Sheepheads are born female, and stay female for four to six years, before changing sex. Other fish in which this happens are Groupers, Porgies, Angelfish, Gobies, Emperors and Swamp Eels. Wrasses are born as males and females and then change sexes. This is unlike angelfish where the males are exclusively derived from females, i.e., there is no such thing as a male born angelfish. It sometimes occurs in the frog Rana temporaria, where older females will sometimes switch to being males Perhaps one of the reasons that beings can change sex is that, if they don’t move very far out as adults, the risk of inbreeding exists – which Nature abhors. Some groups change their sex at the same time. If siblings are of similar ages, and if they all begin life as one sex and then transition to the other sex at about the same age, then siblings are likely to be the same sex at any given time. This reduces the likelihood of inbreeding, and they have to go out to look for mates. The change in sex also allows for organisms to reproduce, if no individuals of the opposite sex are already present. Giant Limpets commonly change from male to female when they live together in small patchy habitats of water. In fact, female limpets, like Pa-
tella ferrugina, can turn back into males, depending on the group size and the number of each sex. Which means that limpets can count better than humans ! Bearded dragons are reptiles that can change their sex from male to female while still in the egg. Researchers at the University of Canberra have found that these reptiles (which are still genetically male but take on the role and reproductive capabilities of the female) are fertile and even lay more eggs than their originallyfemale counterparts. This phenomenon is triggered by changes in climate: the hotter it is, the more likely that the male will change to a female. Some male cuttlefish have devised an ingenious way to “get the girl”: become female. To avoid confrontation with other males, while trying to woo a partner, a male cuttlefish can change one side of its body to look female, researchers at Macquarie University found. When positioned between a rival male and a female potential mate, the male cuttlefish can appear female on the side seen by the male, all the while appearing in its true male form to lure in the female. The male rival simply sees two females, and has no idea what’s happening right in front of him. Blackfin Goby change their sex, dependent on need. Though the transformation is from female to male (when the resident male dies), the tiny fish can transform back when they want. As with other sex changing animals, when gobies physically change their sex, their behaviour changes as well. Females that become males are no longer submissive, adopting the jerky movements of natural males. Preda-
tion pressure on reefs makes movement for mate selection very dangerous, especially for small and sparsely distributed species like gobies. It would be advantageous therefore, for them to simply stay at home and switch genders as the need arises, such as when a mate dies, or when the sex ratio is skewed strongly toward a specific gender. The herbicide, Atrazine, has been shown to cause sex change in frogs. It affects the amphibian’s hormone levels and ten percent changes them into females. However, while the females can mate, their children will all be males. Hydras are small, fresh-water organisms w h o n eve r d i e. T h e y have a tubular body with one foot at one end and a mouth opening, surrounded by one to twelve thin, mobile tentacles, which fire at prey. They move by somersaulting just a few inches a day. When a Hydra is cut in half, each half regenerates and form into a small Hydra. If the Hydra is sliced into many segments then the middle slices will form both a “head” and a “foot”. Hydras living together change their sexes regularly, sometimes all together. In the marine worm species Ophyrotrocha puerilis, a pair of individuals will spawn multiple times, with the larger individual as the female. When the faster-growing male becomes larger than the female, both members of the pair change sex, spawning in their new roles, until again the male becomes larger, at which point they both change sex again.

Post-mortem
W
hen some of us went to the Rajbhavan Kohima on 9th August 2019 to appraise the new Governor of our thought of welcome, the first thing we did was express our wish that he become the Anti-Corruption Governor of Nagaland. He very humbly and very beautifully replied he may not be equal enough to such a great task; we promised we would pray for him and he thanked us for that. It is surprising to find Botswana in Africa among the top best-governed Countries of the world like Denmark, Canada, New Zealand, Japan and Singapore according to a BBC Report my son emailed to me. Canada ranked higher than America because of less violence and New Zealand a little higher than Australia because of its political stability. Will Nagaland be a new well-Governed State? This is a question both the governed as well as the governors need to deeply be concerned. The new Coalition Government of Nagaland was caesarian delivered. The NPF having obtained 18 Seats in the last Assembly Election had the right of being asked to form the Government first by the Governor but the BJP and the NDPP got married first and had their baby by caesarian delivery and immediately named him NPA, Nagaland Progressive Alliance. The BJP, though not the biggest partner of the coalition demanded LION SHARE of the Cabinet and Ministerial Posts, that too of choice Departments including rarely practiced post of Deputy Chief Minister. In addition, they wanted both the Raja and the Lok Sabha Seats. Nagaland felt embarrassed at the lack of democratic decency in the BJP. The Lion is a social Animal that goes by family-groups with
The governance of Nagaland ?
a family more or less number of reproductive female Lions and young ones from the bloodline of the dominant Lion. The dominant Lion does not tolerate any other male Lions to share his harem of lionesses in the family. The odd thing in the behavior in the species is that the dominant male lion does not normally do the hunting; it is the female Lions that do most of the hunting. Nevertheless, whenever the female lions kill an animal, the dominant lion would come and eat first. It is only after he had eaten his full and retires to the shed of a tree to rest and only then the other Lions and the Cubs feed on the kill. In the after-election Post sharing in the Government, the BJP behaved like the king of the Beasts. In Naga tradition of sharing a kill however, whoever participated in the group-hunting gets a traditional customary piece of the Meat; even the hunting dogs get their traditional customary share of a piece of the meat each. The Naga culture of sharing a common commodity of the society is different from that of the dominant Caste in having higher privileges in the Community. It was very proper that he being a member of the NDPP, Mr. Pohwang Konyak in the internal Meeting of the Party forthrightly stated the feeling in Naga Culture that the BJP is demanding too much. Barbaric and primitive they may be, the Naga traditional core-principle Polity of shares common Property is in Equality among the Members. There is a saying among the Naga that teaches a person whenever he or she divides something common among the members, that he/she sees to it that his/ her own share appear less than that of the others to be actually equal to the others. It is a shame, uncalled-for and even an anathema for a per-
son to demand more privileges or shares over others of a common property. It is dishonorable for a person to do such. All Tribes of Nagaland big or small are equal in social polity and should equally share the governance of their State. However, on matters of political representation, it is improper for a Naga of one Village or of one Tribe or of one Community to represent another Tribe or another Village or another Community. It was generous of the Konyaks of Tobu area sometime ago, to offer their Seat in the Assembly to an Angami so that the latter could become the Chief Minister. Many Angamis were acutely apprehensive they would become uncomfortably obliged to the Konyaks at the move and were expected of their concerned member to decline the offer with thanks. Such offer or practice in Nagaland parlance is like plucking unripe fruits for consumption. The governance of Nagaland State does not belong to some Tribes alone; it belongs to every Tribe of Nagaland. At least one person from each tribe should be present in the governance of the State during the tenure of the Government. This is difficult since there are 16 indigenous Tribes in the State but with only 12 Ministerial Seats. Therefore a Term of Office of 5 years may be shared by two Ministers of different Tribes one after another for 21/2 year each. This may not be French democracy or British democracy. This is the Naga Democracy Principle of Polity of the wild barbaric headhunting Naga the creators of the Magna Charta described in the early 19th Century as having “the Purest Form of Democracy”. Nagaland -created on 1st Dec 1963- is the oldest State of the Northeast Tribals, with beautiful geography and sylvan
environment, salubrious climate, with affable if gullible Christian population with easy humor, a casteless society highly emphasizing equality, encouraging literacy percentage and a special constitutional provision for its governance not available to other States of India. The State should have been one of the nicest places in the country, except for its ill-governance. Small States like Nagaland, Manipur, Tripura, Sikhim in Alliance with very big, powerful, rich neighboring Nations not very democratic in nature like China, or Burma or too big Society with a culture of unequal Castes like in India, find it rarely
easy to manage themselves and avoid interference in governance of the State. The Chief Minister of Nagaland appears to have acquired a heavy millstone of Political Alliance on his neck and now finds it difficult to bear the millstone or find it too early to ditch it into the sea! For small States like Nagaland, it is politically more sagacious to remain at a safe distance than in uncomfortable Alliance with big State. Can Nagaland make a first Step in its journey of a thousand Li to good-governance like the one Botswana of Africa did with their indigenous materials? Thepfulhouvi Solo. IFS Retd
Reader’s Post
Appeal to the Government of Nagaland Sir,
While appreciating the present PDA government of Nagaland led by the Chief Minister, Neiphiu Rio, for focusing on all round development in the State, it is also an urgent and genuine need to set up Staff Selection Board (SSB) in Nagaland. The Public Service Aspirants of Nagaland (PSAN) as well as the Naga Students’ Federation (NSF), have made a strong demand on this. Well, it is a matter of fact that the departmental exams being conducted in the state of Nagaland is far too expensive, as candidates have to deposit cash for the exam fees, do Xerox copies, passports and including the travel expenses etc. Since departmental exams are appeared generally by the educated unemployed, it is too painful and not at all affordable to bear all the expenses and having doubts in mind that the exams may not be that fair enough. In a year, a candidate’s total expenditure in different departmental exams amount to thousands, which is hard to imagine for a person from poor background to bear (including the well to do). Therefore, it is a sincere appeal to the Government of Nagaland to set up the Staff Selection Board (SSB) for free and fair conduct of the departmental exams and also to reduce the burden of expenditure on the candidates. Having set up the SSB would open up a ray of hope to the present as well as the upcoming generations. M. Abenthung Humtsoe, Airfield Colony, Wokha

Govt withdraws Manmohan’s SPG cover
NEW DELHI, AUG 26 (PTI): The Special Protection Group (SPG) protection given to former prime minister Manmohan Singh has been withdrawn following a review by multiple security agencies but he will continue to get Z plus security, officials said on Monday. The former prime minister’s Z plus security cover -- one of the highest -- will be given by one of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), preferably the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), they said. The government’s decision had been conveyed to Singh, who was India’s prime minister from 2004 and 2014, and the SPG contingent will be withdrawn from his New Delhi residence after one of the CAPFs takes over the responsibility, a home ministry official said. “The current security cover review is a periodical
Manmohan Singh (File)
and professional exercise based on threat perception that is purely based on professional assessment by security agencies. Dr. Manmohan Singh continues to have Z+ security cover,” a home ministry spokesperson said. The decision to withdraw the SPG security, the country’s highest grade of protection, was taken after a three-month review involving the Cabinet Secretariat and the Ministry of Home Affairs with inputs from various intelligence agencies, officials said.
With the removal of Singh’s SPG cover, the top notch security cover will now be given only to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Gandhi family -Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her children, Rahul and Priyanka. According to procedures laid down by the SPG Act, 1988, Singh was entitled to SPG cover for one year after he demitted office in 2014. His SPG security cover was renewed annually after a review of the threats faced by him and his wife Gursharan Kaur. Singh’s daughters, who were also given SPG cover, gave up the protection voluntarily in 2014. The SPG was set up in 1985 after the assassination of prime minister Indira Gandhi. Parliament passed the SPG Act in 1988, dedicating the group to protecting the prime minister. At the time, the Act did not include former prime minis-
ters. When V P Singh came to power in 1989, his government withdrew SPG protection given to his predecessor Rajiv Gandhi. After Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination in 1991, the SPG Act was amended to offer SPG protection to all former prime ministers and their families for at least 10 years. The Atal Bihari Vajpayee government conducted a review of the SPG’s functioning, and decided to withdraw the SPG protection given to former prime ministers P V Narasimha Rao, H D Deve Gowda and I K Gujral. In 2003, the Vajpayee government again amended the SPG Act to bring the period of automatic protection down from 10 years to “a period of one year from the date on which the former prime minister ceased to hold office” and beyond one year based on the level of threat as decided by the general government.

NEW DELHI, AUG 26 (PTI): Aviation regulator DGCA on Monday said passengers should not carry models of 15-inch MacBook Pro laptops that Apple deemed a safety risk due to overheating batteries. Apple had on June 20 issued a notice on its website regarding the risk posed by the models of the MacBook Pro laptops. “Apple has determined that, in a limited number of older generation 15-inch MacBook Pro units, the battery may overheat and pose a fire safety risk.

In a press release, KYGK president Vihoshe Awomi and general secretary Ayeho Z Ayemi also appealed to the investigating authority that “the accused in the cold-blooded murder” of its bona fide member cannot be condoned at any cost and should be booked and put to trial at the earliest. KYGK maintained that taking the life so easily without any culpable offence and taking law into their hands should not go unpunished in a civilized world. “It’s high time we set an exemplary punishment to those criminals,” KYGK stated. Further, KYGK affirmed that it was “totally against any factional hostility among brothers out of this issue or any form, killing among brothers cannot bring solution.” However, the KYGK asserted that it would not remain mute spectator till those persons involved in the killing were brought to book by the law enforcing agency under relevant sections of the law.

range, which is lower than the 8 per cent plus potential growth rate estimated until a few years back. However, a majority of participants felt that potential GDP growth would settle at the higher end of the range at 7.5 per cent. The participating economists were sceptical and divided about replicating the previous high growth performance of over 8 per cent and sustaining it at that level. Those who were optimistic believed that a turnaround would be challenging given the current global environment and could take at least three to four years. On the strategies to achieve India’s potential growth rate, the surveyed economists suggested four key areas that needed immediate attention: boosting agriculture sector; strengthening MSMEs; undertaking factor market reforms; and enhancing avenues for infrastructure financing. The recently released unemployment numbers by NSSO re-affirm the grim situation with regard to employment in the country. The participating economists were asked to indicate areas of improvement that would help create more jobs, particularly in manufacturing and services sectors.

The median forecast for Wholesale Price Index based inflation rate for 201920 has been put at 2.9 per cent, with a minimum and maximum estimate of 2.1 and 5.7 per cent respectively. The Consumer Price Index, on the other hand, has a median forecast of 3.7 per cent for 2019-20 - with a minimum and maximum estimate of 3.4 and 4.1 per cent, respectively. Concerns remain on external front with median current account deficit forecast pegged at 2.3 per cent of GDP for 2019-20. Merchandise exports are expected to grow by 3.6 per cent, while imports are expected to grow by 4.0 per cent during the year. Overall decline in global growth forecasts, escalating trade tensions, uncertainty around Brexit and foggy outlook on international crude oil prices have emerged as key concerns on the external front. Slower global growth will impact India’s growth prospects as well going forward. In fact, economists unanimously indicated that India’s potential growth rate would be in 7.0 7.5 per cent

New Delhi, Aug 26 (PTI): Rising for the fifth consecutive day, gold prices on Monday again surpassed its previous high by surging Rs 675 to Rs 39,670 per 10 gram in the national capital, according to the All India Sarafa Association, mainly due to a weaker rupee and strong global trend. Gold prices have been hitting a fresh high everyday since August 20. According to analysts, apart from persistent buying from jewellers, a weaker rupee and positive trend overseas were among the factors that aided the rally in gold prices. “Globally, gold rallied to a fresh six-year high of USD 1,554.56 an ounce in the international market (during the day). Retaliatory tariffs by the US and China in the previous week diminished hopes of an immediate trade deal that lifted gold’s safe-haven appeal. Also, feeble global equities and signs of escalating fragile global economic sentiments prompted investors to find shelter in safe assets like the yellow metal,” said Hareesh V, head (commodity research), Geojit Financial Services.
New Delhi, Aug 26 (IANS): The latest FICCI Economic Outlook Survey has pegged first-quarter GDP growth at 6 per cent in 2019-20 while for the whole fiscal growth is seen at 6.9 per cent in 2019-20. The growth numbers for the first quarter are expected to be released by Central Statistics Office (CSO) next week. Ficci said boosting agriculture sector, strengthening MSMEs, undertaking factor market reforms are key to steering the economy out of the slowdown. Furthermore, the annual median GDP growth forecast for 2019-20 has been pegged at 6.9 per cent, with a minimum and maximum estimate of 6.7 per cent and 7.2 per cent, respectively. While the median growth forecast for agriculture and allied activities has been put at 2.2 per cent for 2019-20, the industry and services sector are expected to grow by 6.9 per cent and 8.0 per cent respectively during the current financial year.

But the policy does not talk about the contract manufacturing and it is not clearly defined in the policy. “Big technology firms across the world are going for this, so there is a need for clarification on the matter,” they said.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in her Budget speech in July had stated that the government would examine suggestions of further opening up of FDI in aviation, media (animation, AVGC) and insurance sectors in consultation with all stakeholders to attract more overseas investment. FDI in India dipped 1 per cent to USD 44.36 billion in 2018-19. Last year, the government had relaxed FDI rules for several sectors, including single-brand retail, nonbanking financial companies and construction. Foreign investments are considered crucial for India, which needs billions of dollars for overhauling its infrastructure sector such as ports, airports and highways to boost growth. FDI helps in improving the country’s balance of payments situation and strengthen the rupee value against other global currencies, especially the US dollar.

New Delhi, Aug 26 (PTI): The government will soon consider relaxing foreign direct investment (FDI) norms in several sectors, including single-brand retail trading and digital media, to attract overseas players, sources said. Other sectors where FDI rules would be eased are coal and contract manufacturing. According to sources, the Union Cabinet would soon consider these issues for approval. The government may allow 100 per cent FDI in contract manufacturing, according to the proposal. In the existing foreign investment policy, 100 per cent foreign direct investment is permitted in the manufacturing sector under the automatic route. A manufacturer is also allowed to sell products
approval route. Similarly, 49 per cent FDI is permitted in broadcasting content services through government approval route. In the single-brand retail sector, the cabinet will consider a proposal of relaxing rules for complying with the mandatory 30 per cent local sourcing norms by foreign singlebrand retailers. As per the proposal, single-brand retail firms would also be permitted to open online stores before setting up brick-and-mortar shops. Currently, online sale by a single-brand retail player is allowed only after the opening of physical outlets. Relaxations are expected in a provision where foreign retail traders are presently allowed to adjust procurement of goods from India for their global operations for meeting the mandatory local sourcing requirement. However, “incremental” sourcing of goods from India is only taken into account presently, and it will be allowed only for five years. “Amendments and easing are also likely in this

Funding a major challenge for Rohingyas in B”desh: report DHAKA, AUG 26 (PTI): Over nine lakhs of Rohingya Muslim refugees living in the camps in Bangladesh are facing yet another year of uncertainty as funding continues to be a major challenge for the authorities, a media report said on Monday. Situation is such that three quarters of 2019 have already elapsed with only 35 per cent of the required USD 920 million made available, the Dhaka Tribune reported. The shortage of funding has caused some of the key sectors like health, protection, nutrition, and site management, remain severely underfunded, putting the lives of the Rohingyas in danger. Over 9,00,000 Rohingya fled a crackdown by Myanmar’s military in 2017 in Rakhine state and are living in camps in Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh. Myanmar has faced international pressure to allow the Rohingya to return to Rakhine and grant them citizenship rights. On Febr uar y 15, a Joint Response Plan (JPR) for 2019 was launched in Geneva, seeking USD 920.5 million to cover expenses for the period between January and December 2019. About 69 per cent of the USD 950 million sought in JRP 2018 was met, while around 64 per cent of the USD 434 million sought under JRP 2017 was provided, the report said. The financial tracking system of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that only USD 330
million of the appeal for USD 920.5 million, which is less than 36 per cent, has so far been met, the paper reported. “With only about three months left of the year and USD 590 million remaining unmet so far, it’s certain that funding like it was in previous years, will not be possible,” it said. For food security, only USD 86.9 million (34.2 per cent) of the USD 254.1 million sought, was funded. Of USD 128.8 mn for shelter, only USD 15.6 mn (12.1 per cent) has so far been collected. For health, USD 13.1mn (14.7.8 per cent) of USD 88.7 mn has been provided. For nutrition, out of USD 48.1 mn, only USD 13.8 mn, which is 14.8 per cent, has been made available, while for protection, USD 9.7 mn out of USD 38.9 mn has been collected.

During Modi’s bilateral meeting with US President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in France on Monday, the Prime Minister categorically rejected any scope for third party mediation between India and Pakistan on Kashmir, saying the two countries can discuss and resolve all issues bilaterally and “we don’t want to trouble any third country.”

He also pledged military support to deal with the crisis, media reports said. Macron angered Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro last week by calling the wild-

J A K A RT A , AU G 2 6 (IANS): Indonesia’s capital city is to be relocated to the province of East Kalimantan on the island of Borneo, President Joko Widodo said on Monday. The current capital, Jakarta, home to more than 10 million people, sits on swampy land and parts of the city were sinking by as much as 25 cm a year and almost half now sits below sea level, the BBC reported. No name was given for the capital’s planned replacement. The new city will straddle two relatively undeveloped regions, Kutai Kertanegara and Penajam Paser Utara. The ambitious project will cost 466 trillion rupiah ($32 billion), according to a government official. Widodo on August 16 had formally proposed the relocation of the country’s capital from Jakarta to the island of Borneo. In May, he visited several of the possible candidates for the new capital, including Bukit Soeharto, located some 40 km from the provincial capital of East Kalimantan, Balikpapan, Efe news reported.

a “day of fire” on August 10 in a show of support for the far-right leader’s efforts to weaken environmental protection monitoring in the region.

Seven states, including Rondonia, have requested the Brazilian army’s help in the Amazon, where more than 43,000 troops have been made available to combat fires. It is not clear how many of them are actually involved in fire-fighting efforts so far. After initially blaming the fires on non-government organizations, Bolsonaro on Friday vowed a “zero tolerance” approach to criminal activities in the Amazon and promised strong action to control the blazes. Bolsonaro’s delayed response came as the Amazon crisis threatened to torpedo a massive trade agreement between the European Union and South American countries, including Brazil, which had alarmed the powerful agriculture sector. Dozens of firefighters arrived in Porto Velho on Sunday and Justice Minister Sergio Moro has given the green light for the deployment of security forces to tackle illegal deforestation.

Porto Velho (Brazil), Aug 26 (AFP): Hundreds of new fires have flared up in the Amazon in Brazil, data showed Monday, even as military aircraft dumped water over hard-hit areas and G7 nations pledged to help combat the blazes. Smoke choked Port Velho city as fires raged in the northwestern state of Rondonia where fire-fighting efforts are concentrated, amid a growing global uproar and a diplomatic spat between France and Brazil. Two C-130 Hercules aircraft carrying thousands of liters of water on Sunday began dousing fires devouring chunks of the world’s largest rainforest, which is seen as crucial to keeping climate change in check. Swaths of the remote region have been scorched by the worst fires in years, sending thick smoke billowing into the sky. Experts say increased land clearing during the months-long dry season to make way for crops or grazing has aggravated the problem this year.

BUDAPEST/LONDON, AUG 26 (PTI): External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Monday held a “very positive and productive” meeting with his Hungarian counterpart during his two-day visit and both sides vowed to work closely to enhance bilateral cooperation. Jaishankar held talks with Foreign Minister of Hungary Peter Szijjarto followed by delegation-level talks in Budapest. “Happy to be back in Budapest. Good memories, great future,” Jaishankar tweeted, recalling his stint as Counsellor (Commercial) at the Indian mission in Budapest from 1990 to 1993. “Thank FM Peter Szijjarto for a very positive and productive meeting. Look forward to developing ties with Hungary and Visegrad Group. Will work closely on bilateral cooperation and in the multilateral arena,” he said on his Twitter handle.
The Visegrad Group is a cultural and political alliance of four Central European states - the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, that are members of the European Union (EU) and NATO. The Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Raveesh Kumar earlier tweeted that both the leaders had a brief tete-a-tete, followed by delegation level talks where bilateral and multilateral issues were discussed. Jaishankar, along with Szijjarto, also addressed the Hungarian Annual Ambassadors’ Conference. “Privileged to address the Hungarian Ambassadors’ Conference at the invitation of FM Peter Szijjarto. An engaging interaction on the state of the world,” he said. The two leaders also signed a cultural exchange programme between India and Hungary.

‘Angel Has Fallen’ tops a not-so-heavenly box office
A
ngel Has Fallen easily topped the box office with a $21.3 million debut, according to studio estimates Sunday, as the action sequel became the latest mid-budget release to find modest success in the often quiet late summer. The Lionsgate film beat expectations going into the weekend, opening similarly to the previous 2016 installment “London Has Fallen.” The film series stars Gerard Butler as a Secret Service agent protecting the U.S. president played by Morgan Freeman. In “Angel Has Fallen,” Butler’s agent is wrongly accused of trying to assassinate the president. Going back to 2013′s “Olympus Has Fallen,” the franchise has been a quietly consistent performer, taking in roughly $200 million worldwide each time. “Angel Has Fallen,” produced for about $40 million by Millennium Films, is poised for a similar course, opening just shy of the $21.6 million “London Has Fallen” de-

but. David Spitz, president of domestic distribution for Lionsgate, pointed to the film’s A-minus CinemaScore and 94 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes (far better than the 39 percent critic score) as good word-of-mouth harbingers for the continued playability of “Angel Has Fallen” through the last weeks of summer. “That’s a great sign that the movie is going to be theaters for a long time,” Spitz said. “Over-performing this weekend and exit polls suggesting we’re going to have a nice long runway is terrific.” Late August is known as a sleepy period at the box office, but it’s also one of the few parts of the calendar relatively light on big-budget tentpole releases. That’s given some room for recent successes such as Universal’s comedy hit “Good Boys,” which slid to second with $11.8 million. Last week, it became the first R-rated comedy in more
than three years to land at No.1. And the Lionsgatedistributed “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” has also flourished in August, taking in $50.5 million in three weeks including $6 million this weekend. Some of the bigger films are still expanding around
the globe, though. The “Fast & Furious” spinoff “Hobbs & Shaw” opened this weekend in China — where the high-octane franchise has regularly thrived — grossing $102 million and pushing the film to a worldwide total of $588.9 million. (Foxnews)

NZ beat SL by innings and 65 runs

Colombo, Aug 26 (Agencies): New Zealand beat Sri Lanka by an innings and 65 runs in the second Test to level the two-match series 1-1 on Monday. According to The Quint, needing 187 runs in the second innings to make New Zealand bat again, Sri Lanka was bowled out for 122 runs in the final
session despite a fighting 51 off 162 deliveries from wicketkeeper Niroshan Dickwella. Sri Lanka won the first Test by six wickets in Galle. The match was curtailed by rain for most part but New Zealand played positive cricket to force a result. Sri Lanka started the last session at 88 for
seven hoping to salvage a draw, with Dickwella batting with purpose and joined by defiant tailender Suranga Lakmal. New Zealand captain Kane Williamson used some aggressive field placings, sometimes placing as many as five fielders around the bat. The tactic paid off when Lakmal (14 from
45 balls) gloved a catch to batsman Tom Latham – who hit a fine 154 in New Zealand’s innings – at forward short-leg. Crucially that dismissal ended a 41-run partnership in 132 balls between Dickwella and Lakmal, batting at No. 9. Dickwella tried to sweep spinner Ajaz Patel and was also caught by Latham, close to the bat. Fast bowler Trent Boult bounced at No. 10 batsman Lasith Embuldeniya whose evasive play resulted in a catch to Williamson at third slip, taking New Zealand over the line to victory. In the first session, Kusal Perera opened the batting with Lahiru Thirimanne because of Karunaratne’s extended stay off the field with an injury during New Zealand’s innings. Thirimanne was run out before Sri Lanka had scored and Kusal Perera (0) was caught behind by BJ Watling off paceman Boult, leaving Sri Lanka two down for four runs. Sri Lanka lost its third wicket with the total 11 when Angelo Mathews (7)
fended an outswinger from seamer Colin de Grandhomme to Ross Taylor at slip. Dhananjaya de Silva (1), who scored a century for Sri Lanka in the first innings, stepped out against left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel to drive on the on side but only managed to give a catch to Southee at slip. William Somerville bowled Kusal Mendis for 20 runs, with an impeccable off spinner. The wellflighted delivery drew the right-hander forward outside off stump to defend and the ball turned sharply after pitching, sneaked through bat and pad to hit off stump. Karunaratne made 21 before being trapped lbw by fast bowler Tim Southee bowling round the wicket with the total on 73. He reviewed the decision unsuccessfully. Dilruwan Perera departed without scoring, caught by Ross Taylor off Southee. Southee returned best bowling figures two for 15. Boult, Patel and Somerville also took two wickets each.

Bringing BCCI under NADA is big achievement for me: Rijiju
New Delhi, Aug 26 (PTI): Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju on Monday said bringing the BCCI under the ambit of National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) is one of his biggest achievements since assuming his new office three months ago. The BCCI was earlier this month forced to come under NADA’s ambit, a landmark development that has opened up the possibility of the cricket board becoming a National Sports Federation (NSF) as per government norms. Asked whether it was one of the biggest achievements of his tenure as sports minister, he responded in the positive. “Definitely,” he said. “BCCI is the governing body of cricket and cricket is also a sport. So, all the sports law and sports provisions prevalent in the country is applicable to it. So failing to implement the law cannot be taken forward in a logical way,” he told PTI in an exclusive interview.

“But I am very particular that every sport, every game and every player in this country is equal. “It was a natural course of action and it’s good that it happened, otherwise it would sound little vague that only one game is outside the ambit of the sports rules,” he added. The implication of BCCI coming under NADA is huge as the country’s richest sporting body is now under tremendous pressure to fall under the government’s Right to Information (RTI) Act. The BCCI has been refusing to come under RTI,
claiming that it is not a NSF as it doesn’t take any grant from the government. But the sports minister said it is just a matter of time before the BCCI comes under the RTI. “Government’s money is people’s money. So that statement doesn’t matter. How is the money coming to BCCI? he questioned. “BCCI’s argument itself is without any basis. Money belongs to the country. How does money comes to a sport? From people only, people watch TV, people pay for tickets or through advertisements, it is people’s money. “From people only the money is available to the body. People’s money whether is from the government or directly collected from the government, the value remains the same.” “It is very important for every organisation to function in a transparent and accountable manner. It’s not a question of cricket or any federation,” he added.

India thrash WI by 318 runs in 1st Test
Indian players celebrate after winning the first Test against West Indies on Sunday.
North Sound (Antigua), Aug 26 (IANS): It seemed the Indian pacers were in a hurry to finish things off as they bundled out the West Indies for a paltry 100 runs in their second innings, setting up a mammoth 318-run victory on the fourth day of the first Test here. Jasprit Bumrah scalped a fifer conceding just seven runs while his teammate Ishant Sharma picked three for 31. In the process, Bumrah also became the first bowler from Asia to take five-wicket hauls in Australia, England, South Africa and the West Indies, in only his 11th Test. The win not only gave India
1-0 lead in the two-match series but also 60 points in their inaugural World Test Championship match. It was also India’s fourth-biggest Test win besides being the biggest in away Test. Chasing a huge 419run target, the Windies batsmen lacked patience as only three of them could touch the double digits. Kemar Roach with 38 was the top scorer for the hosts. Kraigg Brathwaite (1) was the first two go, caught behind off Bumrah. John Campbell (7) was castled by the same bowler while Ishant trapped debutant Shamarh Brooks (2) in front. Darren Bravo was
clean-bowled by Bumrah and Shimron Hetmyer (1) was caught at slip by Rahane off Ishant, making up for Virat Kohli dropping him earlier as the Windies were reduced to 15/5 at Tea. In the final session, the visitors continued their dominance as Bumrah struck again, this time sending back Shai Hope (2) and soon he also accounted for the wicket of Jason Holder (8), which saw Windies reeling at 37/7. After Bumrah and Ishant, Mohammed Shami also joined the party as he dismissed both Roston Chase (12) and Shannon Gabriel (0) in the 20th over as the Windies score-
card read 50/9. Roach and Miguel Cummins (19*) showed some fight with their 50-run partnership for the 10th wicket, however, it was too little too late and as Ishant put the final nail in the coffin, sending Roach packing in the 27th over. Earlier, resuming the fourth day at 185/3, vicecaptain Ajinkya Rahane scored his first hundred after 17 Test matches, his 10th in the five-day format while Hanuma Vihari too, did well with a 93, missing out on his maiden Test hundred by seven runs as India declared on 343/7, setting a stiff target for the hosts in the second innings. R a h a n e, w h o t o p scored with 102 from 242 balls, was caught at midoff by Windies skipper Jason Holder off Shannon Gabriel while Vihari was caught behind by Shai Hope off Holder. BRIEF SCORES: India 297 and 343/7 (decl) win by 318 runs vs West Indies 222, 100-all out in 26.5 overs (Kemar Roach 38, Miguel Cummins 19*; Jasprit Bumrah 5/7)
Skipper Kohli equals Dhoni with most Test wins
Virat Kohli added another feather to his illustrious cap as the India skipper equalled M.S. Dhoni’s record of 27 Test wins after his team registered
a massive 318-run record win over West Indies. The victory made Kohli-Dhoni jointly the most successful captains for India in Test cricket. While it took 60 matches for Dhoni to achieve the feat, Kohli took just 47 Tests. Dhoni had a win percentage of 45 as captain, after winning 27 matches, losing 18 and 15 draws. On the other hand, Kohli’s win percentage is 55.31 -- the best among all other Indian captains in the format. In the 47 Tests under Kohli, India registered 27 wins, 10 losses and 10 draws. The run-machine also surpassed Saurav Ganguly with the most Test wins in overseas matches for India as captain. Kohli now has 12 away wins as captain in 26 matches, while Ganguly had 11 wins in 28 games. After Dhoni retired from the longest format of the game during the tour of Australia in 2014, Kohli took over the captaincy. In 2018, Kohli-led India to their first ever series win in Australia as his team defeated the hosts 3-1 to seal a historic win in the Border-Gavaskar series Down Under. Speaking at the postmatch presentation, Kohli, however, did not say much on his achievement and credited the team for it.

Griezmann helps Barca rout Betis 5-2

Barcelona, Aug 26 (Agencies): Antoine Griezmann copied Lionel Messi to score a goal and then imitated NBA star LeBron James to celebrate it. According to AP, Griezmann thrived on his Camp Nou debut with Barcelona on Sunday, scoring twice to lead the Catalan club to its first Spanish league win of the season with a 5-2 rout of Real Betis. The newly signed France forward scored his first goal with Barcelona in the first half after Betis had taken an early lead, then took inspiration from Messi to curl in a left-footed shot shortly after halftime. “I see Messi doing
Sindhu, Bumrah, Stokes enthralled fans on Super Sunday
P.V. Sindhu
Kolkata, Aug 26 (IANS): If Sunday started with P.V. Sindhu decimating Nozomi Okuhara 21-7, 21-7 in the final of the World Championships in Basel, it ended with Jasprit Bumrah destroying a hapless West Indies batting line-up with a fierce spell of fast bowling (5/7). And in between, all-rounder Ben Stokes played the role of Superman to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat for England in the third Ashes Test at Headingley. Making and breaking records is part and parcel of a sportsperson’s life. And in today’s world of social media coverage, no achievement is over-
Jasprit Bumrah
looked or misses hogging its share of limelight. But it was the sheer turn of back-to-back events that made Sunday all the more special and gave fans just the adrenaline rush that they would have wished for after a long and busy week in schools, colleges and the workplace. It all started with ace shuttler Sindhu becoming the first Indian to win the BWF World Championships, crushing Japan’s Okuhara in just 36 minutes in a one-sided final. Two-time silver medallist Sindhu was at her imperious best this time as she sent her opponent, a world No.4, scurrying for cover from start to finish.
Sindhu, World No. 5 currently, bagged her fifth medal at the World Championships, which is the joint highest in women’s singles in the history of the tournament along with Xhang Ning of China, a two-time Olympic gold medallist. Apart from the two silvers Sindhu won in the last two editions, she had also won the bronze in 2013 and 2014. “I just played the way I played my last two matches. I was really prepared for everything. Playing with the Japanese girls, it’s always going to be really long rallies and I was prepared for it,” the 24-year-old said after the
Ben Stokes
match, dedicating the win to her mother, P. Vijaya, who celebrated her birthday on Sunday. If Sindhu gave Indian sports fans a reason to celebrate, Bumrah gave cricket fanatics some more reason to dance on the isles as he toyed with the Windies batting that lacked any kind of composure required for the five-day grind, as he nabbed three wickets by tea on Day 4 and ultimately finished with five as India registered a resounding victory in the first Test. He has been nothing short of a phenomenon in recent times, but even then, Bumrah managed to surprise fans yet again
as he bowled some exceptional deliveries to shatter the backbone of the Windies batting line-up with his pace and consistency. In between Sindhu’s maiden high in the Worlds and Bumrah’s bowling prowess, Stokes was madness personified as he lifted England from the dead to level the Ashes 1-1 with a magnificent unbeaten 135. England started the fourth day looking to prevent Australia from retaining the Ashes. They got to 286/9, still needing 73 runs for an improbable victory. But World Cup hero Stokes joined hands with number 11 batsman Jack Leach and did the unthinkable by smashing eight sixes to all corners of the ground and helped England get to touching distance of their highestever second-innings total to win a Test match. Nathan Lyon missed an easy run-out opportunity to dismiss Leach and Stokes survived LBW shouts, with Australia unable to review, but that doesn’t take anything away from the brilliance that was on display in Leeds. It was only poetic justice that Stokes smashed one
through the covers to bring up what looked like a fairy tale win for the Englishmen. “It was unbelievable and something I will never forget. I’ve got to take it all in. I’m not sure it will ever happen again. It’s in the top two feelings I have ever had on a cricket field,” Stokes told Sky TV after the win. “It is right up there (with the World Cup win). We had to win this game and we managed to do it,” said the all-rounder who smashed an unbeaten 84 in the World Cup final one and a half months ago against New Zealand at Lord’s. England won that match for hitting more boundaries after the match, as well as the Super Over, ended in a tie. It was a day when sports fans had everything served to them in a buffet, be it emotions, drama or sheer brilliance. While Sindhu started the day with a bang, Bumrah served the perfect finger-licking desert to the fanatics at night. Not to forget a heavy dose of batsmanship in the main course from Ben Stokes. It was just what the doctor would have ordered before sports fanatics get back to the grind on Monday.
that in practice and I tried to copy him,” Griezmann said. To celebrate his second goal, Griezmann went near the Barcelona fans behind the goal, picked up glitter from someone who appeared to be a staff member and threw it up in the air with his arms spread in the style of James’ chalk toss routine over the years. “I like LeBron’s ritual and I tried to imitate him,” Griezmann said. Griezmann came through for Barcelona as Messi and Luis Suárez watched from the stands because of injuries. Carles Pérez, Jordi Alba and Arturo Vidal also scored for Barcelona. Nabil Fekir and Loren Morón
scored for Betis. Barcelona had lost 1-0 at Athletic Bilbao last weekend for its first opening league defeat in a decade. Messi had already missed that game because of a calf injury, while Suárez got hurt before halftime in Bilbao. Forward Ousmane Dembele also was out injured on Sunday. Griezmann, who joined from Atlético Madrid for 120 million euros ($133 million) in the offseason, had started at Barcelona with a lackluster performance in the opener. But he took charge on Sunday, scoring his first goal after sliding to a cross from Sergi Roberto in the 41st minute.
