Govt to prepare for pan-India NRC Mandatory for every usual resident of India to register in the NPR NEW DELHI, AUG 3 (PTI): The government has decided to prepare a National Population Register (NPR) by September 2020 to lay the foundation for rolling out a citizens’ register across the country. The NPR will be a list of usual residents of the country. Once the NPR is completed and published, it is expected to be the basis for preparing the National Register of Indian Citizens (NRIC), a pan-India version of Assam’s National Register of Citizens (NRC), an official said. For the purpose of NPR, a usual resident is defined as a person who has resided in a local area for past six months or more or a person who intends to reside in that area for the next six months or more. “In pursuance of subrule(4) of rule 3 of the Citizenship (Registration of Citizens and Issue of National Identity Cards) Rules, 2003, the central

government hereby decides to prepare and update the Population Register... “... And the field work for house-to-house enumeration throughout the country except Assam for collection of information relating to all persons who are usually residing within the jurisdiction of local registrar shall be undertaken between the 1st day of April, 2020 to 30th September, 2020,” said a notification issued by Vivek Joshi, Registrar General of Citizen Registration and Census Commissioner. The NPR is a register of usual residents of the country. It is being prepared at the local (village/subtown), sub-district, district, state and national level under provisions of the Citizenship Act 1955 and the Citizenship (Registration of Citizens and issue of
National Identity Cards) Rules, 2003. It is mandatory for every usual resident of India to register in the NPR. The objective of the NPR is to create a comprehensive identity database of every usual resident in the country. The database would contain demographic as well as biometric particulars. The move came over a month after President Ram Nath Kovind had unveiled the Modi government’s priorities ahead. “My government has decided to implement the process of National Register of Citizens on priority basis in areas affected by infiltration,” Kovind said in his customary address on June 20 after the formation of the 17th Lok Sabha. The reason for exclud-
ing Assam is because of the ongoing exercise of NRC in the state. When the draft NRC was published in Assam on July 30 last year, there was a huge controversy over the exclusion of 40.7 lakh people from it. The draft included the names of 2.9 crore people of the 3.29 crore applicants. In addition to those excluded, the names of over a lakh people were left out in a list published last month. The final list of the NRC in Assam will be published on August 31. NPR, which is a database of 1.3 billion Indians that will be ultimately used to issue citizenship cards, will be updated with individual Aadhaar, passport, driving license, mobile, and voter identity card numbers along with the Census 2021, the Hindustan Times reported on July 9 last quoting officials who did not want to be named. This is being updated for a second time since 2015. It reported that the Union home ministry has asked the Register General of India to prepare for the exercise, an official said.

Quarter of global population at tuberculosis risk LONDON, AUG 3 (IANS): A quarter of the world’s population is at high risk of developing tuberculosis, reveals a new study. The study, published in European Respiratory Journal, shows that one in four people in the world carries tuberculosis bacterium in the body. Tuberculosis, which is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, affects more than 10 million people every year and kills up to 2 million, making it the most deadly of the infectious diseases. Besides, several people are infected with the tuberculosis bacterium without having active disease called latent tuberculosis. The study, which is based on tests from 351,811 individuals, emphasises that it will be extremely difficult to reach the WHO’s goal of eliminating tuberculosis by 2035. “At any rate, the objective cannot be achieved without treating the large incidence of latent tuberculosis, since all infected people are at the risk of developing active tuberculosis disease later in life,” said
Christian Wejse, Associate Professor at Aarhus University, Denmark. For the study, researchers from Denmark and Sweden reviewed 88 scientific studies from 36 different countries to describe the occurrence of latent tuberculosis infection. The study indicates that somewhere between one-fifth and onefourth of the population have latent tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is also known as “TB”. It is a disease caused by a bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It mainly infects lungs but can also spread to other body parts like brain and spinal cord. Those infections which do not have symptoms, is known as latent
tuberculosis. Nearly 10% of latent infections progress to active disease which if left untreated kills about half of those affected. The Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium is spread through the air when a person with lungs tuberculosis coughs, sneezes, spits, laughs, or talks. It is contagious, but it is not easy to catch. Symptoms of TB: During a latent stage, TB has no symptoms i.e when TB is inactive . When TB is active cough, fever, and other symptoms can appear. As TB affects lungs and other parts of body so symptoms will vary accordingly. Tuberculosis in brain: It can lead to meningitis. In bones: There may be spinal pain and joint destruction. The liver and kidneys: Blood in urine The heart: Cardiac tamponade and impare the ability to pump blood. Lungs: Cough for 3 or more weeks, chest pain, night sweats, chills, fever, weight loss and loss of appetite.

Shweta Agarwal and the accused Govind Singhal
G u wa h at i , Au g 3 (PTI): A local court on Saturday gave death sentence to a man for burning alive fellow college student Shweta Agarwal in 2017. The fast-track court of Kamrup also awarded life term to his mother and sister for murder, tampering of evidence and criminal conspiracy. Sessions Judge Aparesh Chackraborty had convicted Govind Singhal, his mother Kamala Devi and sister Bhawani on July 30 for the murder of Shweta, the state topper in commerce
stream of class 12 examination in 2015. Pronouncing the quantum of punishment on Saturday, the judge said Singhal killed the woman in a premeditated cold-blooded manner. Her charred body was found in the washroom of Singhal’s house at Bharalumukh area in Guwahati on December 4, 2017. Singhal and Agarwal were students of the same college and he had brought her to their residence after her exam. Agarwal’s family lawyer Abhijit Bhattacharjee told reporters that there

Scene after the shop after the fire was doused. (Courtesy- Sentinel Assam) G u wa h at i , AU G 3 (Agencies): A major breaks out in an electronic shop in Guwahati’s Lal Ganesh area at around 10 am on Saturday morning destroying properties worth more than Rs 50 lakh rupees, reports Assam Sentinel. As per reports, one electronic shop namely ‘Electrocraft’ proprietor, Pradip Deb told The Sentinel Digital that prime facie, the reason behind the fire is suspected to be a short circuit. However, no casualties
were reported during the fire incident. It may also be mentioned that the entire shopping complex belongs to the family members of TV Journalist Arnab Goswami. Furthermore, due to major traffic jam in the Lal Ganesh Area, the fire tenders couldn’t reach on time leading to a huge property loss. Later, two fire tenders managed to douse the fire and brought the situation under control.
were 13 injury marks on her body, and the post-mortem report stated that she was burnt alive after the injuries were inflicted on her. “We provided proof before the court that Singhal’s mother and sister had helped him in assaulting her and burning her alive as a single person cannot inflict 13 wounds,” Bhattacharjee said. A relative of her said Agarwal was never Singhal’s girlfriend as reported in a section of the media but it was a one-sided affair. A document of 16th November, 2017 in which she said “my answer is no and always is no” proved Singhal’s motive for killing her, Bhattacharjee said without explaining what sort of document it was. After the verdict, Agarwal’s father told reporters that his daughter got justice and thanked the court for the judgment. The defence counsel said they would move the high court against the verdict. The three were sent to the Guwahati Central Jail.

Correspondent IMPHAL, Aug 3: It was a sigh of relief for chief minister N Biren Singh who has faced revolt for his removal from the chief minister’s chair as all the cabinet ministers attended a cabinet meeting chaired by him on Saturday. Since the eruption of leadership crisis after the end of the 17th Lok Sabha elections in May this year, the chief minister has been convening cabinet meetings without full participation by cabinet ministers. More than half out of 11 cabinet ministers excluding the chief minister had skipped a cabinet meeting convened by the chief minister at Ukhrul district headquarters held on June 4 last, the first such meeting after the Lok Sabha elections. Since then,
most of the cabinet ministers continued to skip the meeting. In the last cabinet meeting held on July 20, seven ministers stayed way, making the incumbent chief minister worried. However, in a surprise development, all the cabinet ministers attended the cabinet meeting chaired by chief minister N Biren Singh on Saturday. While adopting a resolution to urge the Governor to summon the monsoon session of the state Assembly on August 26, Saturday’s cabinet meeting also discussed various issues at the forefront of the government and the state, an official source said. Recently, dissident MLAs shifted their camp in Imphal, reportedly after national party leaders told them to ensure attending Assembly session which

MANGALDAI, AUG 3 (AGENCIES): One person was killed while another went missing following a boat mishap that occurred in river Kacharijhar under Assam’s Darrang district on Friday afternoon, reports Northeast Now news. The body of 38-yearold Tarun Kalita (38), a resident of Devananda village in Sipajhar of Darrang district was fished out by State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) personnel on Saturday afternoon. Tarun Kalita along with one of his neighbours, 42-year-old Ananta Kalita, remained missing since Friday afternoon following the boat mishap. Ananta Kalita has remained traceless till the filing of this report. On Friday evening, a country boat, carrying 10
passengers from the farm land in the other part of the river back to Kacharijhar ghat, capsized before reaching its destination. All the other passengers except Tarun Kalita and Ananta Kalita escaped the mishap. Senior officials of the Darrang civil and police administration along with a SDRF team rushed to the spot and started search operations. Following washing away of the bamboo bridge on the river by swollen waters recently, a section of farmers of Devananda village of Sipajhar used to regularly visit the other side of the river (a semi-course of river Brahmaputra) for farming in small country boats amidst high risks. Friday was also not an exception.
BJP will free NE from barriers to development: Chauhan Correspondent IMPHAL, Aug 3: BJP will be free the Northeast from all barriers to development, said party national vice-president Shivraj Singh Chauhan who took part in a state level BJP membership enrolment campaign in Imphal on Saturday. Shivraj Singh Chauhan who is also the national membership in-charge of BJP was addressing a function related to membership drive of the party held at MSFDC auditorium in Imphal’s Palace Compound. He said the party in power will leave no stone unturned to remove barriers, particularly insurgency, that has hindered the pace of development in the region. Chauhan alleged that during its prolonged rule, Congress never focussed on the region except take political mileage with its divide and rule policy inherited from the British. The former three-time chief minister of Madhya Pradesh then claimed that BJP has been giving special
focus to the region whenever the party was in power. He said it was during Atal Bihari’s regime that a separate ministry of development of Northeast region (DoNER) was set up and claimed that the incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi has established a ministry for the development of tribal of the region. In the context of Manipur, Chauhan said that the state was rapidly developing under the BJPled coalition government headed by chief minister N Biren Singh. The state has witnessed a remarkable change in development front, he claimed, while expressing strong confidence that the state would be the most developed state of the country in the next 10 year. ‘If the current pace of development continues undisturbed, I believe Manipur would be the most developed state of the country in the next 10 years,’ he said. Chauhan claimed that it was under the BJP-led government in the state

interact with BJP workers from Tripura. “He noted that the BJP’s repeated success in the state demonstrates the power of development politics and democratic temperament. The Prime Minister added that it also shows that everything is possible with the right effort,” the official added. The r uling BJP in Tripura swept elections bagging around 96 per cent seats in gram panchayats, panchayat samitis and zilla parishads. The results of the local bodies’ polls were declared on Wednesday and Thursday. The panchayat polls were conducted on July 27 in 994 of the 6,646 seats as the BJP had won over 86 per cent seats unopposed before the polls.

was mandatory to summon within August month in order not to create constitutional crisis. All the MLAs in the dissident camp returned to Imphal four days ago. It was reported that they shifted their camp to Imphal to attend the Assembly session with strict instructions from the party’s national leaders. As many as 14 dissident MLAs camped at Delhi had reportedly made it clear to BJP national leaders that they would stay away from the state Assembly’s monsoon session if chief minister N Biren is not replaced before the Assembly session. While advising the dissident MLAs to attend Assembly session as and when it is convened, BJP national leaders assured that the state’s council of ministers would be reshuffled after the Assembly session is over. Following the assurance, the dissident MLAs came back to Imphal, said sources. The dissident MLAs have accused N Biren Singh of operating in a monocratic style and exercising undue favouritism while dealing with the eight Congress turncoats over BJP’s own MLAs while demanding leadership change.

that peace and harmony among different communities which was at stake under Congress, eased. Now, almost all illfeeling among different communities have been eased and the state is on the right tract of development, he said. He accused the Congress of creating ill-feelings among the different communities in the state under its divide and rule policy only to take political mileage. Reiterating that nothing was done by the Congress for the development of the region, the BJP vice president claimed that after the BJP came to power, people of the state can see
the light of development. BJP was giving special focus on the development of the region and it was possible as the party is with the people, he claimed. A joint initiative of the people and government was essential for development to bring about in the country as well as in the state, he said. Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh who also attended the programme called upon leaders and workers of the party to speed up the membership enrolment drive so as to achieve the target. He said that the party in the state targeted to enrol 1.50 lakh new members during the drive which would
end on August 11. “If we work harder we can enrol above two lakh new members against 1.50 lakh being targeted by the party,” he said. At the same time, he appealed party leaders and workers to work hard with sincerity to outreach the initiatives of the government to the people while
asking them not to indulge any activities which would be disliked by the people. He said that it would be hard to regain people faith once it is lost. Earlier, Chauhan was given a warm welcome by BJP leaders and workers led by chief minister N Biren Singh on his arrival at Imphal Airport.

7 Naxals killed, 1 jawan injured in C’garh Malik denies change in constitutional provisions S R I NAG A R , AU G 3 (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik on Saturday conveyed to a National Conference delegation that the state has no knowledge of any changes in the Constitutional provisions and assured that the deployment of additional paramilitary forces was purely for security reasons. A statement released by the Raj Bhavan here said that the governor informed the delegation, led by former chief minister Omar Abdullah, that the security situation has developed in a manner which required immediate action. “There were credible inputs which were available to the security agencies regarding terrorist attacks on the Amarnath Yatra. There has been intensified shelling on the LoC by Pakistan which was responded to effectively by the Army,” the governor told the delegation.
Satya Pal Malik
He said that a press conference was addressed by the Army and the state police in which they briefed the media about how they foiled terror groups’ sinister plans and also displayed weapons and ammunition they seized. “The seriousness of the threat required immediate action,” the governor said. Malik also said that the state “has no knowledge of any changes to constitutional provisions” and hence no panic should be created by unnecessarily linking this security mat-
ters with all kinds of other issues. “A pure security measure is being mixed up with issues with which it has no connection. That is the cause of the panic,” he told the delegation. It is in this security context that the government had issued an advisory Friday asking Yatris and tourists to return as soon as possible, he said. “These are a vulnerable group of people who do not know the area and are extremely vulnerable to a terrorist or a fidayeen attack. It is the responsibility of the state to provide security to all its citizens. Therefore, as a precautionary measure, Yatris and tourists have been asked to return. This is to ensure that no terrorist attack takes place on them,” the governor said.

The car rammed into the bike and skidded to a wall of the public office instantly killing the bike rider.
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, AUG 3 (PTI): IAS officer Sriram Venkitaraman was arrested here Saturday for causing the death of a scribe by allegedly driving in an inebirated state, police said. The 33-year-old IAS officer, who was appointed Survey Director by the state cabinet on Thursday, was arrested under Section 279 (Rash driving on a public way) and 304 (punishment for culpable homicide not amounting to murder) of the Indian Penal Code. “We have recorded the arrest of Venkitaraman at the hospital. We have charged him under Section 279 and 304 of the IPC,” an investigating officer told PTI. Venkitaraman, also a Medical doctor and Fullbright Fellow, allegedly drove his car in a rash manner and hit the stationary motorcycle of K Muhammed Basheer (35),
Bureau Chief of Malayalam newspaper ‘Siraj’, at a road in the heart of the city as he was returning home from work. Basheer is survived by his wife and two children. The IAS officer had recently returned to the state after completing higher studies abroad. He was accompanied by model-friend Wafa Firoze, the owner of the luxury car. Meanwhile, people from various walks of life, including Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, state ministers Kadakampally Surendran, E Chandrashekharan, P Thilothaman, Opposition leader in the assembly Ramesh Chennithala, CPI state secretary Kanam Rajendran and other MLAs paid their respects to the mortal remains of Basheer at the Press Club here. The journalist fraternity here paid a tearful adieu to Basheer, who was a popu-
lar face among the media and social circle for over 12 years. His mortal remains were later taken to his home town at Vatakara in Kozhikode. Venkitaraman was reportedly returning after a party in a club in a posh area of the capital city. Police came under severe criticism as it took nearly nine hours for them to collect the blood sample of the officer for medical examination, even as eye witnesses told police and the media that Venkitaraman was found drunk behind the wheels. There were twists and turns in the incident as the IAS officer initially claimed it was his friend who drove the car. However, the witnesses maintained that it was a man who came out of the driver’s side in a drunken state. Later, Wafa Firoze also gave a statement to the police that it was Venkitaraman who was driving her car.
LUCKNOW, AUG 3 (PTI): The CBI on Saturday questioned expelled BJP MLA and rape accused Kuldeep Singh Sengar in Sitapur jail in connection with the accident in which the victim was critically injured along with her lawyer and her two aunts were killed, as the agency deputed several teams to speed up the probe. The three-member CBI team grilled Sengar for several hours in Sitapur district jail, according to officials, days after the Supreme Court asked the agency not to take more than a fortnight to complete the investigation. The 19-year-old victim, who is on ventilator support, remains critical as she has developed pneumonia, doctors attending to her at a hospital here said. Her lawyer has been taken off the ventilator, but he is still not out of danger. A CBI team visited the rape survivor’s uncle, lodged in a Rae Bareli prison, on Friday. Later in the night, the Rae Bareli administration, in compliance with a Supreme Court directive, shifted the rape survivor’s uncle to the Tihar jail in Delhi. Another four-member CBI team visited the native village of the rape survivor in Unnao on Saturday.

shock over the demise of Situ and his cousin. Patnaik announced an ex-gratia of Rs two lakh each to the next of kin and conveyed deep sympathy to the bereaved families. Showing exemplary courage and bravery, Situ had saved the life of his uncle Binod Mallick from the clutches of a crocodile, which had sneaked into the village pond in February last year. Situ reacted on the spur of the moment and picked up a bamboo stick, dealing a blow on the animal’s forehead. The reptile, jolted by the sudden attack, left Binod to slip into the waters again.

According to the police station in-charge, Naradmuni, the team was in the village for hours and returned to Lucknow after conducting investigations. No one from the victim’s family was present in the village at the time of the CBI team’s visit, he said. In Rae Bareli, a CBI team was busy probing the accident by recreating the sequence of events of the accident and also questioned the driver and the cleaner of the truck that had rammed into the car in which the victim was travelling with her family members and lawyer. Meanwhile, Sengar’s arms licences for a single
barrel gun, a rifle and a revolver were cancelled on Friday, some 15 months after he was arrested by the CBI on April 13, 2018, on charges of raping the woman in 2017 when she was a minor. In more embarrassment for the ruling BJP in the case, party’s Hardoi MLA Ashish Singh Ashu openly expressed sympathises with Sengar in his “difficult times”. A video clip, in which Ashu also wished that Sengar walks out of jail soon, went viral on news channels on Saturday. “Our brother Kuldeep Singh could not be here among us today as he is go-

ing through difficult times. Our best wishes are with him. We hope that he will overcome the bad times, fight through it and come out of it and be with all of you to lead you,” Ashu said at a panchayat meeting in Unnao on Friday. “Wherever we are, our best wishes are with him,” he said. Unnao is the hometown of Sengar. The BJP, however, distanced itself from Ashu’s remarks, saying the comments were made by him in his personal capacity. “So far as the BJP is concerned, whatever disciplinary action it had to take, has been taken. Sengar has been expelled. Unless one is proved guilty, one is innocent in the eyes of the law. May be the MLA (Ashu) spoke on these lines,” BJP spokesperson Rakesh Tripathi told PTI. The BJP expelled Sengar earlier this week amid growing public outrage. According to the Supreme Court’s order, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel have taken over the security of
the victim and her lawyer. They have been deployed at the entry gate of the Critical Care Unit at the third floor of the Trauma Centre, where the victim is undergoing treatment. Because of pneumonia, the rape survivor has also developed fever and is also being administered medication for controlling blood pressure. She is being given oxygen through a tube inserted in her windpipe, Trauma Centra in-charge Dr Sandeep Tiwari told PTI. Though the lawyer has been taken off the ventilator, but he is not out of danger as he suffered head injuries, the doctor said. CBI officials, including women officials, also visited the Trauma Centre on Friday and Saturday to speak to the victim’s family members. Meanwhile, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra took to Twitter to thank young girls for supporting her party’s signature campaign to seek justice for the Unnao rape survivor.

Tax terrorism
ndia’s most well known entrepreneur and owner of the multi-chain Coffee Day, V.G. Siddhartha took his own life on July 29 and his death has only aroused fierce debate about the fates of hundreds of other corporate honchos fighting off liquidity. Siddartha built a java empire that now boasts more than 1,700 stores - ten times as many outlets as Starbucks Corp. in India - as well as 54,000 vending machines, almost single-handedly introducing his tea-loving country to coffee shops and making his Cafe Coffee Day chain a household name. What had plagued Siddartha was funds crunch. He had to borrow from various sources at high interest rates of 14% but that only pushed his empire deeper into the red. Of course, Coffee Day is still a thriving empire but needed more money to keep the business afloat. He spent much of the two years before his death putting up ever more of his Coffee Day shares to refinance loans for ever shorter periods, at ever higher rates of interest. The fate of Siddartha is similar to that of the most tragic plight of Indian farmers. Indian media was already full of stories of farmers committing suicide after they were left unable to refinance loans amid a crash in crop prices. The crux of the matter perhaps lies in the report that the income tax departments of the states of Karnataka and Goa released a statement saying Siddhartha had admitted to unaccounted income of 3.6 billion rupees ($50 million), and that they had halted his sale of the tech company’s shares until he put up Coffee Day shares as collateral for the unpaid tax, which he did. In a letter circulating on social media since Tuesday and purportedly written by VG Siddhartha to the firm's board and employees, he said he "gave up", blaming tax authorities for "harassment" and decisions that caused a liquidity crunch. The suicide of VG Siddhartha, under investigation by tax authorities, has inflamed anger towards the government among business leaders who feel it is going too far in its crackdown on fraud and tax evasion.In particular the push by tax collectors has been labelled 'tax terrorism' by TV Mohandas Pai, a former director of Indian IT giant Infosys Ltd, even before the Coffee Day Enterprises Ltd founder disappeared and his body was later found floating on Nethravathi river in Mangaluru on July 31. Harassment meted out to Siddartha by the IT director had led to seizure of properties. This spelt doom for a the reputation of the business. The income tax department, part of the finance ministry, has said it acted as per the law in its investigation of Siddhartha and the coffee chain, and its probe was based on credible evidence of transactions done in a concealed manner.The last union budget included a slew of laws giving taxmen of all stripes even more power, including the power effectively to arrest on suspicion- in, of course, “the interest of the revenue.” Perhaps the irony is that the government did not differentiate between failure and fraud. It sought to paint all failing entrepreneurs as frauds. It may be that the government has targeted squeezing successful business in its efforts to reduce fiscal deficits which has made a big hole equal to an entire percentage point of GDP.
DailyDevotion The Compelling Purpose of God
He…said to them, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem…" —Luke 18:31 Jerusalem, in the life of our Lord, represents the place where He reached the culmination of His Father’s will. Jesus said, “I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me” (John 5:30). Seeking to do “the will of the Father” was the one dominating concern throughout our Lord’s life. And whatever He encountered along the way, whether joy or sorrow, success or failure, He was never deterred from that purpose. “…He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem…” (Luke 9:51). The greatest thing for us to remember is that we go up to Jerusalem to fulfill God’s purpose, not our own. In the natural life our ambitions are our own, but in the Christian life we have no goals of our own. We talk so much today about our decisions for Christ, our determination to be Christians, and our decisions for this and that, but in the New Testament the only aspect that is brought out is the compelling purpose of God. “You did not choose Me, but I chose you…” (John 15:16). We are not taken into a conscious agreement with God’s purpose— we are taken into God’s purpose with no awareness of it at all. We have no idea what God’s goal may be; as we continue, His purpose becomes even more and more vague. God’s aim appears to have missed the mark, because we are too nearsighted to see the target at which He is aiming. At the beginning of the Christian life, we have our own ideas as to what God’s purpose is. We say, “God means for me to go over there,” and, “God has called me to do this special work.” We do what we think is right, and yet the compelling purpose of God remains upon us. The work we do is of no account when compared with the compelling purpose of God. It is simply the scaffolding surrounding His work and His plan. “He took the twelve aside…” (Luke 18:31). God takes us aside all the time. We have not yet understood all there is to know of the compelling purpose of God.

Post-mortem
A tribute to Gen. Kaito Sukhai 1933-1968 A
(In Commemoration of 51st Death Anniversary of Gen. Kaito Sukhai)
mid the countless of heroes, in the legends of Naga freedom struggle was a young leader, who stood on the shoulders of the giants and seen further than we have seen, who walked 1000 miles further than we have meandered; who in the recent past gave up the lot of himself and stood for the better of tomorrow. I never met him in self, as I was born decades after his death, but back in the yore of my school days and till today, his feats and deeds were a feast to my ears, so In pursuit of his past; I met most of his peers and dears and knew the best of him. There’s no wreath or dirge to accompany him today; however, this is how I will remember him! The phrase, both heroic and genius was bandied along well with instant bring up of his name, albeit, it fits snugly into his rather short physical stature and dapperly striking young visage, his bodily stature was but, not an impediment towards his ventures. He would forever and a day strives for excel, People of his peers were subdued by his wits and dexterity. His body and mind reflexes were equally imposing; to accomplish his mission he could lack a slumber for a week. Vigorous and nimble at his most he was quite frigid toward idleness and inactivity. Had frequent splits of temper, although, it always turned out to be a sane resentment. Regardless of his apathy and bleakness toward his humdrum and inactive compatriots at the end of the day his kindness and caring was always genuine. Adventurous, committed and curiousness was him. He was the rising tide that lifts the hopes, a façade of optimism for the suppressed, a panacea that cures the phobia and a hindrance behind enemy failures and weaknesses. The persona dreaded and admired by the enemies, envied by the slanderers and revered by the follow-

ers. He was what Che is to Cuban and Giap was to Vietnamese. He was young as the Joan of Arc whilst, he pledged, to defend his land and liberate his people from the foreign dominion. He is the world’s youngest general, He is General Kaito Sukhai, he is a Naga legendary. Born on the onset of summer 22nd May, 1933, at Ghukhuyi village, then under Kohima “Elakha” (District) during British regime and present times Zunheboto District, Nagaland; he was the second son of Kuhoto Zhimomi Head Dobashi M.B.E Kohima Division. (1923-1948) and mother Kiholi Yepthomi. Kuhoto had 5 sons and 3 daughters. Kuhoto’s first son and Kaito eldest brother Kughato Sukhai was the Ato Kilonser (Prime Minister) Federal Government of Nagaland (1959-1968) who also led the Nagas into six rounds of talk with Indian Prime Minister Indra Gandhi to deliberate on Naga issue, which ended in a dead heat. Kaito was born into an affluent Sumi Naga family of Zhimomi clan; some of his distinctive traits can be traced back to the semblance with his Great Grandfather Sukhai Zhimomi and his Grand uncle Kuhoi Sema Naga both an outstanding warriors during their era. Precisely from his mother’s womb Kaito had an unusual demeanor unlike any other still born child and his mother had a premonition that something was going to be different about this child, hence Kuhoto called upon a seer named Alemtemjen Ao from Longsa village, who eventually foretold the parents that “a son would born to them, wherein myriads of people would follow him”. Without doubt the unseeming characteristics of an average child, just his contemporaries began to illustrate. Right from his crawling phase he showed his obstinacy and stubbornness outlook. He had an innate incli-
Laws banning child labour must be enforced
hild labour persists due to the inefficiency of law, administrative system and exploitative tendencies on the part of employers. Children are employed illegally in various industries. But agriculture is the largest sector where children work at early ages to contribute to their family income. Rural areas employ 85 percent of the child labour in India. They are forced to work at young ages due to factors such as poverty, unemployment, a large family size, and lack of proper education. In British India, a large number of children were forced into labour due to the increasing need of cheap labour to produce a large number of goods. The companies preferred recruiting children as they could be employed for less pay, better utilized in factory environment, lacked knowledge of their basic rights, and possessed higher trust levels. The practice of child labour continued even in the post-Independence India, though the government continued to take legislative measures against child labour. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights passed in 1948 incorporated the basic human rights and needs of children for proper progression and growth in their younger years. Article 24 of the Constitution bans engagement of children below the age of 14 in factories, mines, and other hazardous employment. Article 21A and Article 45 promise to impart free and compulsory education to all children between the ages of 6 and 14. The Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation)
nation for military life; his childhood was skewed fully towards military characteristics and leadership making. one thing was always coherent to him that, he was in no way alone, he would always keep a band of boys his age group between 10 to 12 years at his disposal, which he called them his children army. People would have assumed, what he was doing was just a self indulgent immature game, but maybe he really knew what he was doing and none could have guessed? That perhaps, the future General was disciplining his compatriots for the very essence of our national sanguinity. During the 2nd world war the Allied forces had set up a camp at his village, therefore, at every given occasion he would hang around with Allied soldiers so that he could emulate and edify himself more of their activities to his already found passion. One fine day the commander of the camp asked him to fetch some water and Kaito in turn ordered his boys to fetch water while he hung about with the commander, the boys without any hesitation brought the water pot and stood obediently akin to an army formation order, after awhile the little boss ordered his boys to parade out of the camp. In another incident, the same commander to check the competences of the kids offered Kaito and his boys to test fire a rifle inside the trench; everyone except Kaito was bold enough to accept the offer, the Allied forces who were watching the scene were stunned by the way he picked up the rifle with sharp reflexes and without uncertainty was about to fire, but then the commander prevented him from firing. The Allied forces remarked that the boy would one day grow up to be an excellent soldier. Which he proved them right in the near future by becoming the world’s Youngest General. The British leading tabloid BBC (British Broadcasting Cor-
Act enacted in 1986, prohibited children younger than the age of 14, from being employed as child labour in hazardous occupations. Significantly in 2009, India passed the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act (RTE). More recently, the Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Amendment Act, 2016, passed by Parliament, prohibits “the engagement of children in all occupations and of adolescents in hazardous occupations and processes”. Here adolescents refers to those under 18 years; children to those under 14. The Act also imposes a stringent penalty on anyone who employs or permits adolescents to work. Nevertheless, child labour has now led to alarming proportions. As per an estimate, India contributes to one-third of Asia’s child labour and one-fourth of the world’s child labour. Child labour in India is now not confined to the agricultural sector. In recent times, children are engaged into activities such as beedi-making, brick kilns, carpet weaving, commercial sexual exploitation, construction, fireworks and matches factories, dhabas, hotels, hybrid cottonseed production, leather, mines, quarries, silk, synthetic gems, etc. The government should bring down the incidence of child labour through reform and investment in education. Mid-day meals should be re-emphasized; homeless children should be provided housing through the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan boarding schools, and laws banning child labour should be more strictly enforced.

poration) accredited him as the World’s youngest General. In 1953 he went to Shillong for further studies, but his real intent was beyond studying. The child prodigy had already primed a blueprint inside his mind ahead of his decision to study at Shillong. After his influx at Shillong, under the pretext of studying he was tirelessly organizing a network and sweeping Naga nationalistic ideology into the minds of Naga students Shillong, as well as Naga recruits Assam regiment to associate themselves into the realm of Naga Nationalism. However, his undercover activities came into limelight and his stay at Shillong was cut short as the Indian Intellegience personnel, were after him; but at the end of the day it was a fruitful stay. He gained a huge momentum among the erudite during his short stay. He was able to persuade an adequate number of Naga students to join the Indian Army so that they could come back to Nagaland and train the Naga youths to defend our homeland. The behaviors of his early days were ominous of the days to come, when he would bear out to be one of an ablest General of his time. Gen. Kaito, yearning for an independent Naga is analogous to an inflated balloon fixated for the skies; despite of looming adversaries and irresistible odds, he would never cringe down an inch. a proven fact, that consistently for almost a decade he led the diminutive but no less spirited Naga Army to resist and fight against the powerful military capacity in the form of Indian Arm Forces. Some of the important achievements and highlights of his life: 1) 1951, he started his active involvement into Naga struggle for independence. 2) 16th May, 1951, at the age of 18 Gen. Kaito Sukhai super vised The Naga Plebiscite throughout the Sumi regions.
Inclusive of all the Nagas as a nation
T
he air of Naga political solution is blowing very strongly not only in Nagaland but all over India. This is because Mr. R. N. Ravi ji who is handling the Naga political issue has also vast contacts with prominent people of Nagaland, especially who have involved in Naga political problems. Secondly, Ravi ji had a vast experience as the chairman of all the intelligence group of India. Thirdly, Ravi ji is the most closest and trusted friend of the Prime Minister of India, Mr. Modiji. However there are certain unwanted rumours and gossips such as Nagas of Nagaland, who had settled in the present state of Nagaland prior to 1963 have a right to be within Nagaland excluding the Nagas outside Nagaland state? Mr. Raviji's arrival in Nagaland as the Interlocutor and as the Governor is with one sole objective to help find the final political settlement between India and the Nagas after more than two decades of peaceful political negotiations. If anybody thinks on that line, that is, only for Nagas of Nagaland state, then it is completely wrong and it is not acceptable. When the 16 Point Agreement was drafted, there was lots of discussions amongst the Naga leaders as to why other Nagas such as Nagas of Arunachal Pradesh, Nagas of Assam, Manipur, Nagas of Myanmar, including Mikhir, now known as Karbis, who should also be included as Nagas of Nagaland. This Draft was submitted to Pundit Jawarhalal Nehru ji but Nehru ji told the Naga delegation that, this will be a long process and it will take time. So in order to solve Nagas underground problems, Nagas of Nagaland be first formed as a state so that the same suggestions of the delegation will be discussed in the later years. Now, whether the Indo-Nagas political settlement will take place within this year or not is anxiously awaited by all sections of the Nagas. If at all settlement takes place then it should be based on 1963 agreement but should be inclusive of all the Nagas as a nation. T. A. Ngullie, Ex-minister, Chümoukedima, Nagaland.
3) 1955, he formed Naga avant-garde army called Naga Safe Guards which was set up in the Eastern Sumi area under NEFA. 4) 1955, 23rd March, from the land of Free Naga’s erstwhile NEFA, he declared an arm revolt against Indian army. 5) 1955, 2nd June, at the age of 22 he became the first General of Naga Safe Guards. 6) 1955, 3rd to 10th September, in the historic First Indo-Naga battle at Hoshepu, Gen. Kaito Sukhai with a mere cluster of 16 Naga Safe Guards army fought against a mammoth Division of 17th Indian Rajputs coalesced with Indian Assam Rifles Regiments. It was recorded that in the aftermath of the battle 5 Naga armies were martyred, while 380 Indian forces lost their lives. 7) 1956, 2nd March, the Naga National Council declared the Federal Government of Nagaland (FGN) and consequently FGN consolidated Naga Home Guards and Naga Safe Guards to form the Naga Army and thus, Gen. Kaito Sukhai was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief Naga Army on 22nd March 1956, he held the office till January 1963. 8) 1956, 24th March, a significant second battle of Satakha was fought against the Assam Armed Police posted at Satakha Village, I.B Bungalow, whereby all the 78 belligerent Assam Armed Police were captured with a huge cache of weapons. 9) 1962, 21st March, Gen. Kaito Sukhai led 168 highly principled Naga soldiers to the first Alee command (Foreign Legion) to East Pakistan for procuring arms and training. 10) 1962, 10th September, he departed Karachi and left for London to meet NNC President A.Z. Phizo to discuss the future course of action for the Naga movement. He was invited by BBC to address about Naga struggle for
independence at the Round table Conference. 11) 1962, the Association of Allied British Veterans, under the organization of Burma Star Association London feted him with the coveted title “Burma Star” 12) 1968, 17th June, he formed an Army Government with Gen. Mowu Gwizan. 13) 1968 3rd August, a fanatic assassin who could not discern the magnitude of impact Kaito would have bought upon the fate of the Naga’s, had he been alive! Shot him ruthlessly on that fateful evening. 14) 1968, 4th August, 11:30 AM, at the prime age of 35 years and 74 days Gen. Kaito Sukhai breathed his last. Alas! Came to an end of an era to one of the greatest son of Naga soil. The costliest material in the world is not worthy to obtain the immense price that had been paid in the form of valuable lives, blood, sweat and tears. Myriad of the past Naga freedom fighters had indisputably proven their affection and sacrifices in a fathomless measure for the cause of Naga homeland. The trails and suffering pursued along the process is unrivaled. The spine chilling saga while procuring weapons and training up to fight against the overwhelming odds is consummate. Today, how trivially we tend to overlook the sacrifices and glory of our past, which meanwhile, is gradually eroding away. The accounts of their unmatched afflictions, life forfeits and display of flawless courage must be put into picture to enlighten the generations of today; hence they shall emulate and continue to carry the baton of key purposes envisaged by them. On this day, let us all reminisce every Naga patriots who had sacrificed their lives selflessly for the foundation of our beloved Nagalim. Khekaho Zhimomi (Nihoshe village) DC Hill East Zunheboto.

Letter to assistant director AYUSH
Madam, We, the Ayurvedic Doctor’s Association Nagaland (ADAN) write this letter with an intention that you will respond to the issues positively but not take it otherwise. We would like to draw your kind attention to advertisement via office order no NHM/B-35/HR/2016-17/777 Dated 12th July 2019 for appointment of Medical Officer (AYUSH) under State Health Society National Health Mission under the Dept. of H&FW of which interview is to be held on 2nd August 2019 published in leading local dailies. We would like to state some few lines for favor of your kind attention and immediate response please. • The advertisement states 3 post of Medical Officer (AYUSH). When we look into the full form of AYUSH it is Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy. According to a lay man prespective it may sound that AYUSH is a single entity whereas in reality all the 5 streams i.e. AYUSH requires 4 & Half Years of study with 1 year internship for each stream. • Each and every state of India has segregated the post for MO (Ayur), MO (Y&N), MO (Unani), MO (Siddha), MO (homeo) even our immediate neighbor Assam follows the same nomenclature for appointment. • With more and more students opting for AYUSH system of medicine and also the push given to AYUSH by the Central Government we would like to draw your attention to segregate the post of Medical Officer (AYUSH) to system specific otherwise it will create problem for future generation. • A letter addressed to this issue was given to MD (NHM) who had forwarded the letter to SPO (NAM) but no concrete reply was received by our association. As it involves the well being of our members we were left with no option but to take this step. If the reply is not justified then we may take the help of our judicial system. • The department has conducted interview for appointment of MO (AYUSH) and many AYUSH doctors are giving exemplary service in all districts of Nagaland but post segregation is the need of the hour and it will give equal opportunities and a boost to many Ayurvedic unemployed graduates. Therefore, the Association will be highly obliged if the department takes a serious concern on this issue and take necessary action at the earliest.

Party workers are like mother: Modi
NEW DELHI, AUG 3 (PTI): Underlining that the BJP’s ideology and thoughts brought it to its current position and not the legacy of any family, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked party lawmakers to remain connected with party workers and not forget their contribution in making them MPs and ministers. Addressing more than 380 party MPs of both Houses of Parliament during a two-day training programme, the prime minister likened the party and its workers to a mother who nurtures a son, but feels a bit neglected when he gets married and pays more attention to his wife. So once they become MPs, they should not forget the party and the workers. They should remain connected with the workers who have toiled for them, and not just in election time, Modi was quoted as saying by lawmakers who attended the session. Modi credited BJP workers and their hardwork for the party’s ascendancy. “Therefore, we all should keep the spirit of a

party worker alive in ourself,” Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi quoted Modi as saying. “Modi described BJP as a family and categorically told party MPs that it is growing because of its ideology and thoughts and not because of the legacy of a family,” Joshi said. “The team BJP is an organic entity not an assembled entity,” Modi told the meeting. Joshi said that talking about the party’s impressive victory in Tripura’s local elections, Modi highlighted the importance of the organisation’s strength. The prime minister inaugurated the training pro-
gramme, ‘Abhyas Varga’, at Parliament House complex and recalled his experience of attending a similar event in Surajkund. Modi said it was of great help to him, Joshi added. The prime minister also stressed on the importance of learning and said it should continue whatever the age of an individual is. “Modi said whatever our age is, we should remain students and keep learning. Learning is a continuous process and it is essential,” Joshi said. Modi, who will hold a session with the party MPs on Sunday, spoke briefly at the inaugural session. Besides Modi, BJP
president Amit Shah and working president J P Nadda addressed the inaugural session. Later, Nadda also addressed a session on the idea of India. During the session, sources said, Modi and other senior leaders got off the dais, sat with the MPs in middle rows and listened to him. Party’s general secretary Bhupendra Yadav addressed a session on parliamentary procedures, while BJP’s IT cell head Amit Malviya discussed the use of information technology with MPs. Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Arjun Ram Meghwal’s is scheduled to address the parliamentarians on Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS). At the end of every address, there was a question-answer session. On Sunday, the second and last day of the training programme, Modi and Shah are scheduled to address the MPs. The prog ramme is aimed at informing MPs about the party, its ideology and parliamentary procedures.

Ex-Maldivian Vice President sent back TUTICORIN (TN)/ NEW DELHI, AUG 3 (PTI): Former Vice President of Maldives Ahmed Adheeb Abdul Ghafoor, who had sought political asylum in India after arriving on a cargo vessel on Thursday, has been sent back to the island nation, with authorities not allowing him to deboard as he did not possess the required documents. “The Maldivian leader left Tuticorin coast by midnight Friday,” a police official told PTI in Tuticorin. Adheeb arrived in the cargo vessel along with nine crew members but was not allowed to disembark from the ship. He left for his home country in the same ship, police said. Coast Guard personnel oversaw the vessel leaving Indian waters. He was questioned on-board by various central agencies, they said. Adheeb had sought political asylum in India as he faces a serious risk to his life in his home country, a UK lawyer representing the politician had said. They said reports about his deportation are incorrect.
Heavy rainfall warning for Mumbai, holiday for schools & colleges MUMBAI/THANE, AUG 3 (PTI): Incessant rains lashed Mumbai and its surrounding areas on Saturday and the India Meteorological Department said more heavy rainfall is expected in the metropolis during the next 24 hours, prompting authorities to declare a holiday in schools and colleges. The IMD cautioned people, saying heavy rainfall warning on a “very-hightide day” (Saturday) is “not a good combination”. In neighbouring Thane and Palghar districts, heavy
rains disrupted normal life. One person was electrocuted in Thane city while another suffered serious injuries after the roof of a bakery collapsed in Mumbra in the district, officials said. The unceasing downpour in Palghar district prompted authorities to declare a holiday for educational institutions on Saturday. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation issued an advisory asking Mumbai residents to not venture into the sea or in water-logged areas in view

Police personnel attempt to stop medical students as they protest against National Medical Commission (NMC) Bill outside Safdarjung Hospital, in New Delhi. (PTI)
NEW DELHI, AUG 3 (PTI): As doctors of two Centre-run hospitals — AIIMS and Safdarjung — continued to boycott work for the third consecutive day on Saturday in protest against the NMC Bill, the Health Ministry warned them of taking punitive action like termination of their service if they do not join duty immediately. Following the ministry’s direction, the two hospital administrations have issued memorandums to their resident doctors to resume work at their respective departments. AIIMS resident doctors resumed emergency services around midnight last night but non-essential services, including OPD services, remained suspended. At Safdarjung Hospital, the doctors did not join duties in any department, including the emergency department. “All members of RDA and student union are hereby directed to resume their

On Saturday, a heavy police deployment was made outside AIIMS and at Safdarjung Hospital, across the road, after the doctors protesting against the National Medical Council Bill got agitated on hearing about the warning. A senior police official said the “situation is under control” and police officials were trying to maintain peace and regulate the traffic in the area. The doctors claim some provisions in the NMC Bill are “anti-poor, anti-student and undemocratic”. Dr Prakash Thakur, RDA-President, Safdarjung Hospital, said the protest will continue. “This is unfortunate that majority of services including emergency healthcare facilities are not functioning at Safdarjung Hospital. We see a footfall of around 10,000 patients per day. Patients are suffering because of the strike,” Gupta added.

cut. I expect a 25 bps cut and a dovish tone,” said A. Prasanna, chief economist at ICICI Securities Primary Dealership. Running at 3.18 per cent in June, India’s retail inflation has remained below the central bank’s medium-term target of 4 per cent for almost a year and is not expected to rise significantly above that until at least 2021, according to a separate Reuters poll. But, currency and bond dealers noted that external influences could limit India’s room for future rate reductions, as the head of the US Federal Reserve warned against expecting a lengthy easing cycle after cutting US interest rates for the first time in over a decade on Wednesday. But, rate cuts alone cannot help India’s economy unless the benefits are passed on to consumers and corporate borrowers. And saddled with bad debt, and scared of losing depositors, banks have been slow to reduce lending and deposit rates despite the RBI’s prodding.

told the Economic Times newspaper in an interview published on Monday. Her budget had included measures aimed at improving the investment climate but lacked any direct steps to stimulate an economy that grew just 5.8 per cent year-on-year in the January-March quarter, its slowest pace in five years, and well below the doubledigit growth levels that PM Modi wants. Aside from defending against inflation and protecting the rupee’s health, the RBI has oversight of the state-owned banks and a mandate to protect financial stability, which could be undermined if economic growth stays low given the stress prevailing among banks and shadow lenders. The last time the RBI made so many back-to-back cuts was after the global financial crisis over a decade ago, when most major central banks were desperate to revive economic growth. “If the inflation estimate is lower than target and RBI has space they should
“Serious cor porate governance issues witnessed a linear rise causing a number of company failures. Corporate governance is aimed at keeping the trust of various stakeholders. Learning from the global financial crisis, this was far from satisfactory”, Singh said. There had also been instances of non-disclosure of valuation reports, he said adding that the companies resorted to complex structures to hide risk for siphoning of funds. In this context, he said SEBI was enhancing monitoring of compliances along with the stock exchanges. “SEBI had prescribed standard operating procedures (SOP) for dealing with non-compliances, which can lead to freezing of shareholding of promoters and suspension of trading in stocks”, he said. Singh said “the regulators can go upto a point. It was incumbent upon the managements for sticking to compliance and key management... professionals should show a strong independence of mind to stand up to any wrongdoings”.

MUMBAI, Aug 3 (Agencies): The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is likely to cut rates next week for a fourth time in 2019 as benign inflation gives it room to help an economy that is growing at its slowest in nearly five years. If the RBI does cut by 25 basis points on Wednesday, the repo rate would to come down to 5.50 per cent, and make RBI the most dovish among major Asian central banks. Almost 80 per cent of 66 economists surveyed by Reuters expected the RBI to cut its benchmark repo rate by 25 bps. Three respondents predicted a 50 bps cut and the remaining 10 forecast the rate would be left unchanged. Reducing interest rates would please Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who delivered her first budget last month after being promoted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi following his re-election in May. “I’ll honestly wish (for a) rate cut ... a significant rate cut would do a lot of good for the country,” Sitharaman
Kolkata, Aug 3(PTI): Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on Saturday expressed concern over related party transactions, a method “frequently” employed by corporates for diversion of funds. The capital markets regulator also said another means of such diversion was extension of loans. “Related party transactions are being frequently used for diversion of funds by corporates. Another instance is extension of loans of companies to related parties. The list is endless. This really bothers the regulator”, SEBI’s Executive Director Amarjeet Singh said. Speaking at the Financial Market Conclave organised by CII here, he said these practices should be discontinued in the interest of listed companies, promoters and related parties. Singh said fraudulent related party transactions were being used for “siphoning of funds”. Singh said that regarding corporate governance, there had been a decline of trust for which SEBI had already initiated steps.

UK issues advisory, warns citizens against travelling to J&K New Delhi/London, Aug 3 (IANS): The UK on Saturday issued a travel advisory for its citizens travelling to Jammu and Kashmir, warning against travel to the state, except Jammu city and Ladakh, after the Indian government advised Amarnath pilgrims and tourists to leave in view of the security situation. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office advised against all travel to Jammu and Kashmir - “with the exception of (i) travel within the city of Jammu, (ii) travel by air to the city of Jammu, (iii) travel within the region of Ladakh”. It advised against “all but essential travel to the city of Srinagar and travel between the cities of Jammu and Srinagar on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway”, and also advised against travel to the tourist destinations of Pahalgam, Gulmarg and Sonmarg. It said the British High Commission in New Delhi was monitoring the situation following reports that the Jammu and Kashmir government had advised tourists and Amarnath Yatra pilgrims to curtail their stay in the Kashmir Valley immediately and take necessary measures to return home as soon because of security threats. “If you’re in Jammu and Kashmir, you should remain vigilant, follow the
advice of local authorities and keep up to date with developments, including via this travel advice.” It said there have been “a number of terrorist attacks against army bases and other targets in Jammu and Kashmir”, and mentioned the February 14 Pulwama attack in which 40 security personnel were killed. It also mentioned the February 10, 2018 terror attack on an Indian Army camp in Sujuwan in which 16 persons were killed, the July 2017 terror attack on a bus carrying pilgrims on the Srinagar-Jammu Highway, the Uri terror attack of 2016. According to the advisory, “Since the death of Hizbul Mujahideen (HuM) commander Burhan Wani on July 8, 2016, there have been widespread violent protests in the Kashmir Valley, which have resulted in deaths and serious casualties. As a result, curfews are imposed and lifted on an almost daily basis.” “Foreigners remain vulnerable in rural districts and outside the main population centres and tourist areas. There is a risk of unpredictable violence, including bombings, grenade attacks, shootings and kidnapping. The long-standing policy of the British Government is not to make substantive concessions to hostage takers.

Islamabad, Aug 3 (PTI): Pakistan has completed 90 per cent work on the Kartarpur Corridor from the zero line to Gurdwara Sahib and plans to inaugurate it on the 550 birth celebrations of Guru Nanak in November this year, according to a media report. The corridor will connect Darbar Sahib in Pakistan’s Kartarpur with Dera Baba Nanak shrine in Gurdaspur district and facilitate visa-free movement of Indian Sikh pilgrims, who will have to just obtain a permit to visit Kartarpur Sahib, which was established in 1522 by Sikh faith founder Guru Nanak Dev. The first batch of pilgrims from India will arrive in Pakistan on November 9, however, the number has not yet been specified, the Express Tribune reported. According to the report, 90 per cent work on the Kartarpur Corridor, including the construction of the main road, bridge and buildings from zero line to Gurdwara Sahib has been completed by Pakistan. “From the Pakistani side of the border, Prime Minister Imran Khan and

Washington, Aug 3 (PTI): US President Donald Trump on Friday hoped that Pakistan will help the US in Afghanistan as peace talks with the Taliban has apparently entered its last phase. Trump said he had developed a “good chemistry” with the Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, whom he met at his Oval Office last week. “We’re doing very well, as you know, with Pakistan. I met a gentleman who I liked a lot -- as you know -- last week, from Pakistan. I have a lot of respect for him. We have a good friendship -- a good feeling, good chemistry. I think Pakistan will help us, and I think others will get involved,” Trump told reporters at the White House. Responding to a question if the Taliban could be trusted, Trump said “I don’t want to say if they can be trusted or not. Look, history, I would say, is not so good, but they don’t like us much either. But we’ve brought them down; we’ve brought the number of soldiers down very substantially. We are talking to them. We have a lot of advantages making a deal with us.” “Let’s put this way: We’re more police than anything else, and that’s not for our soldiers,” he added. “I’ve said -- I’ve said it a lot. We could win the war in Pak (sic) --- we could win the war, if you look at it -- and you can look at it any way you want -- we can win the war in Afghanistan in less than a week,” Trump said. “But I’m not looking to kill 10 million people. I’m not talking nuclear. I’m not talking nuclear. But we’d win that war in less than a week, and I have that as an option, always. But that’s what we’re not looking to do,” asserted the US President.

Limajungla crowned Miss Ao 2019 Fb to add its name to WhatsApp, Insta I L imajungla was crowned Miss Ao 2019 during the third Miss Ao pageant grand finale held on the concluding day of the three-day Tsüngremmung Mini Hornbill Festival 2019, Saturday at Mokokchung. Limajungla also bagged the subtitle of Miss Beautiful Walk. Alemchula and Tatongmenla were adjudged as the first and second runner-up respectively. The event was organised by the Lodestar Entertainment, where a total of 7 contestants vied for the coveted title. Other The special guest of the event, advisor Treasuries & Accounts, National Highways, Dr. Longrineken said that unlike the yesteryears, where our parents and elders had only one dimensional career path, today, our generation has multi dimensional path to choose our career from. He goes on to add that God has showered mankind with an array of talents and skills and added that the youngster of their tribe too are blessed with a multitude of talents which we

can hone it and use it to their benefit. The advisor asserted that one can choose his or her profession based on any of the God’s gifts; be it beauty, physical strength,
beautiful voice, ability to dance and act, etc. apart from the innate talents, “what we require to excel is determination, persistence, perseverance and hard work”, he added. He
said today, though much has been talked about and done for women empowerment in the country; it is heartening to see that not much disparity between the two genders existed in the state. He hoped that organizing programmes and competition like Miss Ao would further push the campaign for women empowerment. Longrineken urged the participants to take the event as a special opportunity, for not everyone gets the chance to share the stage with them. “Winning and losing is part and parcel of every competition, no matter whether you win or lose, your experience will certainly lift you to an altogether new level. Take it as your trajectory to success in life”. The contestants were judged basing on three rounds that included traditional round, causal round and evening wear. Other subtitle winners were; Sentongtenla - Miss Personality, Longsena - Miss Congeniality, and Alemchula - organizers’ choice. (Correspondent)
n a first step towards merging all its platforms into one unified experience for users, Facebook is adding its name to Instagram and WhatsApp. Instagram will soon become “Instagram from Facebook” and WhatsApp will turn into “WhatsApp from Facebook”, The Information reported late Friday. The new titles will appear in the title for both apps in Apple’s App Store and Google Play Store. “We want to be clearer about the products and services that are part of Facebook,” a spokesperson was quoted as saying. Employees for the apps were recently notified about the changes, “which come as antitrust regulators are examining Facebook’s acquisitions of both apps”, said the report. The US federal Trade Commission (FTC) is now probing what prompted Facebook to acquire Instagram and WhatsApp. According to The Wall Street Journal, the FTC is looking to find out whether Facebook was trying to snuff out potential competitors before they could truly challenge the social media giant. Facebook recently reached $5 billion agreement with the FTC over users’ privacy violation in the Cambridge Analytica scandal that affected 87 million users. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has already announced plans for convergence between Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. “There’s a lot more that we need to figure out before we finalize the plans. This is going to be a long-term project that I think will probably be to whatever extent we end up doing it in - a 2020 thing or beyond,” the Facebook CEO had said earlier this year. He said more than the commercial benefits of the chat integration between the apps, he was concerned about data encryption. “The first reason that I’m excited about this is moving more to end-to-end encryption by default in more of our products. People really like this in WhatsApp. I think it’s the direction that we should be going in with more things in the future,” he noted. “There are also a number of cases that we see where people tell us that they want to be able to message across the different services.” (IANS)
Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani ‘better than ever’ as they reunite on ‘The Voice’
B
lake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are still going strong! A source tells ET that “Gwen and Blake have been having the best time while shooting The Voice. They laugh so much on set and backstage, and aren’t shy about showing their affection and are better than ever.” “Gwen seems secure and happy to be back. Their relationship is so different from when they first started dating on The Voice,” the source explains. “They’re truly like a married couple who hasn’t lost that spark.” The source also adds that for Stefani and Shelton it “has been really sweet, because The Voice is where they fell in love, so being back on set seems to have
stirred up some cute memories.” Stefani’s return to the singing competition show comes after Adam Levine announced his departure from the show after 16 seasons, explaining that it was “time to move on,” in a lengthy Instagram post on May 24. “It’s going to be fun and exciting,” the “Hollaback Girl” singer, who previously worked on seasons seven, nine and 12 of the series, said during an appearance on The Talk. “Blake’s my best friend. So, I get to hang out with him at work. It’s going to be great.” ET also sat down with Shelton in June, where he admitted that it was “hard” for him to see Levine leave. (ET)

$AP Rocky has thanked fans and supporters after being released from custody in Sweden yesterday (August 2) following his arrest for an alleged assault last month. Rocky (real name Rakim Mayers) had been in custody in Sweden since July 3 after being arrested on suspicion of assault following an alleged fight between his entourage and another man. On Thursday (August 1), the rapper’s trial got underway. Both Rocky and the alleged victim, named by TMZ as Afghani refugee Mustafa Jafari, appeared in court to share their accounts of the story. Rocky pleaded not guilty to the charges. Prosecutors alleged that Rocky and his associates beat and kicked Jafari and hit him with a bottle. Rocky’s lawyers disputed those claims, stating that the fight was in self-defense and that no bottle involved. Swedish prosecutors asked for a six-month sentence for Rocky and also asked that the rapper remain in jail due to his status as a flight risk. According to The New York Times, Rocky has now

She declined to comment on the merits of the case, but said that his release would normally be a sign that he will be found not guilty, or if he is convicted, that he will be sentenced to time served. With support coming from the likes of Tyler, the Creator, Tyga and Machine Gun Kelly, an unlikely show of support came from Rod Stewart, who gave his support to “my mate” Rocky. (NME)

pas, who also stopped play to attend to problems with his footwear in his last two matches. Once play resumed and Benoit lost a point, the Frenchman pretended to have a shoe issue of his own and sat in his chair, testing the chair’s patience but earning no warning. Benoit failed to regain his composure after the argument and Tsitsipas cruised to the win on a warm night in the U.S. capital. Kyrgios later hammered down 19 aces and needed just under an hour
to defeat Slovakian lucky loser Norbert Gombos 6-3 6-3 under the lights. The semi-final will mark the first career meeting between the two players but they know each other’s games well. They are doubles partners this week in Washington and have said they also plan to team up at the Cincinnati Masters later this month.

New Delhi, Aug 3 (PTI): Lovlina Borgohain and Neeraj clinched gold medals while Gaurav Solanki had to settle for a silver as Indian boxers ended their campaign with a rich haul at the Magomed Salam Umakhanov Memorial International Boxing Tournament in Kaspiysk, Russia. The Indian boxers fetched six medals at the tournament, including two golds, one silver and three bronze. Reigning Asian Championships gold medallist Pooja Rani suffered a narrow 3-2 defeat against home favourite Anna Anfinogenova in the middleweight (75kg) semi-finals and had
to be content with a bronze. Govind Sahani (49Kg) a nd Jony (60Kg ) a lso grabbed bronze medals after their semi-final losses. While Govind lost to Russia’s Kurban Bayranbekov 1-4, Jony went down to Russia’s Natalya Shadrina by a similar scoreline. Having had to taste a bitter 2-3 defeat at the hands of Assunta Canfora at the India Open final, World Championships bronze medallist, Lovlina (69kg) was better prepared this time to tackle the wily Italian. The tall Assamese boxer was on guard throughout the bout and never shied away from raining down Canfora’s flurry of punches
to grab a narrow 3-2 win. After capturing the India Open silver and a bronze from the Strandja Cup, Lovlina’s efforts and dedication have been rewarded with her first international gold medal of the year. India Open gold medallist champion Neeraj (57kg), who had caused a big upset in the semi-finals by stunning former world champion Alessia Mesiano 3-2, continued her impeccable form in the summit clash against Russia’s Malika Shakhidova. With two of the judges’ points being drawn at 28-28, the Strandja Cup bronze medallist Neeraj went on to register a commanding 3-0 victory over the Russian. While Lovlina and Neeraj dazzled in their respective finals, India failed to register a flawless day as Gaurav Solanki succumbed to a 0-5 defeat to Uzbekistan’s Abdulkhay Sharakhmatov. The Commonwealth Games gold medallist was unable to judge his opponent’s pace and power and could never recover from the early blows.

DDFA general meeting held
T o ro n t o, Au g 3 (Agencies): Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova has withdrawn from next week's Rogers Cup in Toronto after failing to recover from an arm injury which has dogged her season, organisers said Friday. Tennis Canada said in a statement that the 29year-old Czech star's withdrawal would mean former world number one Serena Williams is now given a top eight seed. Venus Williams will take the available space in the main draw while a wild card spot would be handed to Svetlana Kuznetsova. Kvitova said in a statement she had pulled out after the left arm injury that forced her to withdraw from the French Open flared up again. "I'm so disappointed to have to withdraw from the Rogers Cup," Kvitova commented. "My forearm injury is continuing to cause some problems so, on the advice of my medical team, I have made the decision not to travel to Canada." Despite pulling out of Roland Garros, Kvitova went on to play Wimbledon, advancing to the last 16 for the first time in five years where she was eventually knocked out by Johanna Konta.

Cavani vows to see out PSG contract
Paris, Aug 3 (Agencies): Edinson Cavani says he is fully focused on the season ahead at Paris Saint-Germain, and isn’t interested in any speculation linking him with a move away. The 32-year-old is approaching his seventh season in the French capital and, with his contract running until the summer of 2020, he intends to see it out. After that, he might head home as his career enters its twilight years – but he isn’t thinking about his next step just yet. “I already spoke about this last season and I promised, not only to the fans but also to myself, that I wanted to finish my contract here,” he told Le Parisien. “My decision might be that I go back home to Uruguay but I’ve promised myself that I will finish this contract. That’s a certainty. And then football doesn’t K Y M C

always depend just on you; there’s the will of the club, the supporters.” Cavani’s tally of 193 goals in all competitions sees him as the club’s alltime top scorer, and he has
spoken about how much he enjoys playing with the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Neymar. With his two strike partners both heavily linked with moves away from the
club, it has been suggested PSG could look to offer Cavani a new contract. However, he says no discussions have taken place just yet. “Honestly, I’m not even thinking about it,” he said. “We haven’t even talked about it with the club. PSG had a bit of a difficult time at the end of last season, but everything is now being put in order. Maybe we could discuss it afterwards.” “I’m relaxed, whether I’m staying or not staying after the end of my contract. The only thing I know is that, like since the first day I arrived in Paris, I’m going to give everything for this shirt, this club, this city. After six years here, it’s like home, like my family. Until the very last moment, I’ll give everything.” PSG first game as they look to win a seventh consecutive Ligue 1 title is a home fixture against Nimes on August 11.
“One thing is clear that the board will not be offering 30 to 33 players the new contracts and the list of contracted players is going to be cut down to around 18 to 20,” one reliable source in the board said. Although the players could get enhancements in their monthly salaries and match fees, the board has decided now to only award

We will see how it develops over the weekend and if Harry ends up going then we will have to look at our options,” added Rodgers. England international Maguire, who phoned in sick for training on Monday, has four years left on his contract and Leicester’s position all summer had been that he was not for sale. The 26-year-old had been Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s No 1 target at Old Trafford and told Leicester he wanted to leave before the transfer window shuts on August 8, so he could follow in the footsteps of his heroes Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand.

PSG beat Rennes to lift French Super Cup Messi given three-month intl ban
Shenzhen, Aug 3 (Agencies): Paris SaintGermain substitute Angel Di Maria scored the winner with a spectacular free kick and Kylian Mbappe was also on target as the Ligue 1 champions recovered to beat Stade Rennes 2-1 and lift the French Super Cup in Shenzhen, China on Saturday. Adrien Hunou had given the French Cup winners the lead despite PSG’s dominance in the first half and Thomas Tuchel’s side eventually earned the victory their superiority deserved thanks to the second-half goals from Mbappe and Di
Maria. PSG’s seventh succcessive Super Cup win is a record, eclipsing the six won by Olympque Lyonnais from 2002-2006, and means they will start the defence of their Ligue 1 title in high spirits despite doubts over the future of playmaker Neymar. The 27-year-old Brazil forward, who has been linked with a return to Barcelona, was watching the match from the stands of the Shenzhen Universiade Sports Centre stadium. Neymar saw Rennes take a surprise 13th minute lead seconds after PSG
defender Thilo Kehrer had clipped the top of the crossbar with a header at the other end. Hunou made no mistake for Rennes when he emerged unmarked to casually steer Benjamin Bourigeaud’s centre beyond Alphonse Areola with the inside of his left thigh. It was a rare sight of goal in the opening 45 minutes for the French Cup winners, with PSG regularly threatening to level the scores but without success. Pablo Sarabia’s longrange attempt arced away
Sakkari through to semis in San Jose
Maria Sakkari returns a shot to Elina Svitolina during their Silicon Valley Classic quarter-final match.
S a n J o s e , Au g 3 (Agencies): Maria Sakkari came from behind to defeat top-seeded Elina Svitolina 1-6 7-6(3) 6-3 in a thrilling quarter-final at the Silicon Valley Classic in San Jose on Friday. Sakkari saved four match points and trailed 5-2 in the second set but found her form in time to extend her run at the tournament, where she lost the final last year. “I don’t know where I found this power. Probably I have it deep inside. I’m a
Spartan — we don’t forget that,” the Greek 24-yearold said with a smile. “I’m super happy. I was playing very bad tennis. I was not moving, not reacting at all. I really don’t know how I managed to wake up.” A pep talk during the match from coach Tom Hill appeared to inspire Sakkari, who lost to Svitolina in their third-round meeting at Wimbledon last month. In another compelling quarter-final, second-
seeded Aryna Sabalenka defeated Carla Suarez Navarro in a marathon 3-6 6-2 6-4 match earlier in the day. Sabalenka rifled a forehand winner on match point to end the nearly two-hour affair and book her ticket to the last four as she hunts for her fourth career singles title. Next up for Sabalenka is a semi-final with Donna Vekic, who put on a serving clinic to dispatch American Kristie Ahn 7-5 6-0.
from goal before Edinson Cavani fired a free kick off target, while Mbappe dragged a shot wide five minutes before halftime. Cavani went closer just before the break, stabbing wide from inside the six-yard box when he reacted first to Tomas Koubek’s fumble. The long-awaited equaliser came 12 minutes into the second half when Marquinhos lofted a perfectly weighted ball that found Pablo Sarabia unmarked behind the Rennes defence and his pass allowed Mbappe to score into an unguarded net.

But after the break, the Indians lifted their game and drew parity at 13 apiece before surging ahead 20-18. But Hyun and Cheol pocketed two consecutive points to draw level at 20-20. The Indians kept their composure and earned two crucial points to take the
first game. It was the other way round in the second game as the Rankireddy and Shetty came out positive to take a 3-0 lead initially. The Koreans, however, fought back with some smart play at the net and overhead smashes to lead 11-9 at the break, which
they later extended to 1912. But the Indian looked in no mood to surrender as they clawed back to make it 20-all. The two pairs fought tooth and nail before the Koreans eventually pocketed the second game 24-22 to stretch the match into the decider.
Lionel Messi
wrong. The CONMEBOL statement on its website didn’t specify why Messi was being punished but said it was related to articles 7.1 and 7.2 of its disciplinary regulations. One such clause refers to “offensive, insulting behavior or making defamatory protests of any kind.” Another clause mentions “breaching the decisions, directives or orders of the judicial bodies.” The ban means only that Messi will miss a handful of friendly matches as Argentina’s next competi-
tive fixture is not until the South American qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar begin in March. However, he has already received a one-game ban from CONMEBOL for his red card against Chile meaning he’ll miss the first of those. Argentina have two friendlies lined up in the United States in September against Chile and Mexico and another in October away to Germany. Messi would miss all three of those but be free to play for his country again in November.
India beat West Indies by 4 wickets in 1st T20 Lauderhill, Aug 3 (Agencies): Navdeep Saini starred on his international debut on Saturday as India overcame a spirited effort from the West Indies to win the first T20 international by 4 wickets in Lauderhill and take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Chasing 96 for victory, India kept on losing wickets at regular intervals but eventually managed to reach the target with 16 balls to spare. Rohit Sharma top-scored with 24 while Virat Kohli and Manish Pandey made 19 runs each but India were in a spot of bother at 69 for 5 before Krunal Pandya (12), Ravindra Jadeja (8 not out) and Washington Sundar (10*) got the team over the line. Sunil Narine, Sheldon Cottrell and Keemo Paul took two wickets each for the Windies. The win was earlier set up by India’s bowlers led by debutant Navdeep Saini, who finished with 3 wickets for 17 runs from 4 overs. He was ably supported by Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2/19) while Washington Sundar,
Rankireddy-Shetty enter Thailand Open final Ba n g ko k , Au g 3 (PTI): Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty on Saturday became the first Indian men’s doubles pair to enter the summit clash of a BWF Super 500 tournament with a three-game win in the Thailand Open semifinals, here. The world number 16 Indian duo prevailed 22-20 22-24 21-9 against the 19thranked Korean team of Ko Sung Hyun and Shin Baek Cheol after battling hard for 63 minutes. It is first final of the 2019 season for Rankireddy and Shetty, the men’s doubles silver medallist at 2018 Commonwealth Games. The unseeded India combination will face third seeds Li Jun Hui and Liu Yu Chen of China in the summit clash on Sunday. Rankireddy and Shetty were slow off the blocks as the Korean pair had the better share of exchanges in the first game to lead 3-0 and then 11-10 at the break.
Rio de Janeiro, Aug 3 (Agencies): Argentina star Lionel Messi was banned from playing for his national team for three months and fined $50,000 on Friday by CONMEBOL after he heavily criticized the South American football governing body during the Copa America. The 32-year-old Barcelona forward had accused CONMEBOL of “corruption” after he was sent off against Chile during the third-place play-off during the tournament in Brazil, which ended last month. Messi was angered by two incidents during the June-July Copa hosted by bitter rivals Brazil. Argentina were denied two penalty claims in their 2-0 semi-final defeat to the hosts, after which Messi claimed Brazil were “managing a lot in CONMEBOL these days.” And when he was harshly dismissed in the next game, which Argentina went on to win 2-1, he couldn’t contain his anger. “Corruption and the referees are preventing people from enjoying the football and they’re ruining it a bit,” Messi said. He was given his marching orders after a first-half scuffle with Chile captain Gary Medel in which television pictures suggested he’d done little
In the final game, it was a cakewalk for the Indians as their Korean rivals failed to sustain the tempo. Rankireddy and Shetty started aggressively in the decider and easily sealed the match. Shetty attributed their success to a calm and composed approach. “Well I feel that both of us became a lot more calmer and that was the major improvement,” he said after the win. “ We m i s s e d t w o match points in the second game. But we were able to win the decider quite comfortably because we were calm. We weren’t eager to score points. Whenever we had chances we went for them. We didn’t rush and that’s why we didn’t commit mistakes. “The highlight of the match was obviously the last point as it was simply amazing to win a semifinal match against Hyun and Cheol as we have looked up to them in the past. So it was special,” Shetty added.

Khaleel Ahmed, Ravindra Jadeja and Krunal Pandya managed to pick up a wicket each. There was no substantive partnership in the West Indies innings with the highest being the 34 between captain Carlos Brathwaite (9) and top-scorer Kieron Pollard (49) for the sixth wicket. Nicholas Pooran (20) was the only other West Indies batsman to score double digit figures. West Indies were reduced to 5 for 33 in the powerplay with Sundar getting rid of John Campbell with his 2nd delivery in the
first over itself. This was the second lowest score for the Windies after the loss of five wickets in a T20I match while batting first. Veteran Kieron Pollard was the lone batsman who put up a fight for the home side with 49 runs off 49 balls including two boundaries and four sixes while the rest all failed to fire. Nicholas Pooran (20) was the only other batsman who managed double figures as the Windies got bowled out for the 8th lowest total against India. Saini, who came into the attack in the 5th over,
picked up the wickets of Nicholas Pooran and Shimron Hetmyer off successive deliveries in his first over itself. He returned for his second spell and picked up the wicket of Kieron Pollard. Washington Sundar and Bhuvneshwar Kumar removed openers John Campbell and Evin Lewis for a pair of ducks. Brief scores: West Indies: 95/9 (Kieron Pollard 49, Navdeep Saini 3/17) India: 98/6 (Rohit Sharma 24; Sunil Narine 2/14)
N Korea want to host WC qualifier with South HONG KONG, Aug 3 (Agencies): North Korea have nominated Pyongyang as the host venue for their World Cup qualifying match against South Korea in October, clearing the way for the two countries to play on North Korean soil for the first time in almost 30 years. The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) confirmed to Reuters on Saturday that the North Koreans had requested that the game scheduled for Oct. 15 be played at the 50,000-capacity Kim Il-sung Stadium in the northern capital. The two countries are still technically at war after the 1950-1953 conflict but sport has in the last couple of years acted an agent for reducing tensions either side of the demilitarised zone that splits the peninsula. In a much-feted display of unity, the two Koreas fielded a joint women’s ice hockey team at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang and marched under a unified flag. They have also expressed interest in jointly
hosting the 2023 women’s soccer World Cup. Recent rocket tests by the North Koreans have, however, brought talks about sport and other inter-Korean exchanges to a halt. The countries last faced each other in a soccer international in Pyongyang in 1990. North Korea and South Korea have been drawn together in group H of the sec-
ond round of Asian qualifying for the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar along with Lebanon, Turkmenistan and Sri Lanka. They were previously drawn to face each other in both the third and fourth rounds of qualifying for the 2010 World Cup finals but the games designated as home matches for North Korea were played in Shanghai.
DP-5921
PSG players celebrate after defeating Rennes to win the French Super Cup in Shenzhen, China on Saturday.
Sarabia almost put PSG in front three minutes later when Mbappe’s tantalising ball across the face of the Rennes goal was unwittingly turned over the bar by the Spaniard. PSG’s winner came 17 minutes from time, with Argentine Di Maria - introduced in the 61st for new signing Ander Herrera - hit a leftfooted dipping curler over the wall beyond Koubek. Meanwhile, Thomas Tuchel looks to have made a canny acquisition with his capture of winger Sarabia, who assisted the leveller, played a part in the winner and looked to be fitting comfortably into new surroundings. However, ill-discipline has been a problem for PSG in the past - they were shown four red cards in Ligue 1 last season - and left-back Bernat should know better than to go flying into challenges in such a low-key setting. He was extremely fortunate not to be dismissed for the first-half tackle that could have forced Lea Siliki from the pitch. Both sides now return to France to begin the new Ligue 1 season. Title-holders PSG get underway at home to Nimes next Sunday, the day after Rennes’ visit to Montpellier.
