DIMAPUR, NOV 30 (NPN): Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) has hit out at the NDPP-led PDA coalition government in the state for maintaining silence till date against the controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Bill-- (CAB) while other north eastern states like Meghalaya and Mizoram assemblies have resolved to oppose it. NTC media cell stated that the Citizenship Amendment Bill seeks to provide easy citizenship to minority communities such as Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan merely on having six years of residency in India without possessing any proper document. NTC media cell stated that the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) was currently examining the Citizenship Amendment Bill and if it is passed, then it would provide blanket immunity to foreigners at the expense of bona fide citizens of the country.
NTC reminded that it objected to the CAB in the context of pluralism and secularism because the Act is “subjective and communal” and only in the larger interest of a particular religious group. The council cautioned, that if the Bill is passed by Parliament, then it would have immense ramification and victimise small states like Nagaland because the existing protective laws would not be able to resist the new law, if enacted. It said sensing the impending danger on the indigenous people, the assemblies of Meghalaya and Mizoram passed resolutions not to accept the CAB. Also NTC said the CAB is also in total contravention to the Assam Accord of 1985 and that was why even the Assam government was vehemently opposing it. That is why, Joint Parliamentary Committee was contemplating to exempt Assam from the purview of the bill if passed.

NTC demands PDA record objection against CAB As a constitutional exercise, NTC said JPC made study visits to states which protested against the bill in order to hear the voices of the people. The JPC will soon be concluding its study visits and shortly submit the recommendations to Parliament. With winter session of parliament in December, NTC said there was high possibility of the Bill being passed. NTC slammed PDA saying it cannot remain “evasive on this crucial issue” that poses immense threat on the existence of people adding the state government should never have soft paddled the issue or maintaining a “watch and see” since passage of the bill would have devastating impact on Nagaland. NTC has therefore, demanded that the state government immediately register its protest against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill before the JPC finalises its recommendations.

He added that the farmers were not seeking a “free gift” from the government by asking for a farm loan waiver but were only asking for what is due to them. Kejriwal claimed that the Centre had filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court saying it would not implement the M S Swaminathan Commission report. Various leaders also addressed the gathering.

as violation of human rights and said the federation will strongly oppose the bill. He said the Bill was against the secularism of largest democratic country in the world. Though the federation is not against any particular religion or people, Imtiyapang said that NSF will not back down. In his address, NSF president Christopher Ltu termed the Bill as a direct threat to “our social structure, history and culture”. He said the student bodies
and people would strongly resist the “creation of another Tripura in the region.” Ltu asserted that entire region was “infested with foreigners from the erstwhile East Pakistan (now Bangladesh)”, adding that NSF fully supported the signing of Assam Accord by the All Assam Students Union in March 1971, the cut off year for detection and deportation of foreigners from Assam. NSF president claimed that the proposed Bill was an apparent political conspiracy
by the government of India to impose the burden of the post 1971 Bangladeshis in the Northeast region and encourage the infiltration of Hindus from Bangladesh into the North east states. He lamented that the state government has not taken any action or sent communication to the federation related to memorandum submitted on immediate exigency measure relating to coverage of Dimapur district within the purview of ILP. Others who spoke at the rally included Pochury Students Union (PSU) president Joyson Yitsuthu and Lotha Students Union (LSU) general secretary Ashanthung Humtsoe.

Subsidised LPG price cut by Rs 6.5 NEW DELHI, NOV 30 (PTI): Domestic cooking gas (LPG) price Friday was cut by Rs 6.52 per cylinder. A 14.2-kg subsidised LPG cylinder will cost Rs 500.90 in the national capital from midnight tonight, IOC said in a statement.

Correspondent/PTI

Soon after their arrival, the team convened a meeting with representatives of political parties, urban local bodies, panchayats, autonomous district councils (ADCs) and trade unions on Thursday evening. The team held another round of meetings with state chief minister N Biren Singh along with his council of ministers and government officials.

IPFT to agitate in Delhi for separate state
Agartala, Nov 30 (PTI): The IPFT, a ruling ally of the BJP, said Friday that it would organise a rally in Delhi to press for Tripraland, a separate state for tribals, and the scrapping of the proposed Citizenship Amendment Bill 2016. Indigenous Peoples Front of Tripura (IPFT) General Sectary Mangal Debbarma said the decision to hold the mass rally in the second week of December was taken in the executive body meeting of the party recently. Over a thousand of

IPFT activists and supporters would hold a sit-in-demonstration and organise a mass rally, Debbarma said. On the sidelines of the demonstrations, a delegation of the party will try to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Rajnath Sigh, he added. The senior IPFT leader also said that they would observe a dawn-to-dusk strike on December 5 in Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) to push for their demands. The TTAADC con-
stitutes two third of the state territory and is home to tribals, which form one third of the state population. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the IPFT jointly secured 44 of the 60 seats in the February 18 Tripura assembly polls, ending 25 years of CPI(M)led Left Front rule in the northeastern state. Separate state of Tripraland has been an old demand of the IPFT, a tribal based regional party. Despite crossing the majority mark with 36 seats, the BJP formed the
government with its prepoll partner, the IPFT albeit without clarifying its stand on the demand for the separate state. T h e I P F T, w h i c h emerged victorious in 8 seats, was allotted two berths in the state cabinet. But of late, cracks appeared in the alliance over different issues including Trpraland and Citizen Amendment Bill. In fact, the BJP and IPFT workers had clashed at several places in the run up to the panchayat by-polls in Tripura in September.
tor, assistant director and economic officer. Meanwhille, according to PTI, Chairman of 15th Finance Commission N K Singh said that Manipur government needs to take steps like harnessing solar and wind power, strengthen human resource and keep transparency of accounting system to put the state in a better economic trajectory. The north eastern state is getting close to reasonably high rate of economic growth, he told a press conference here. Singh said solar and wind power can be gainfully utilized by Manipur. Human resource may be strengthened by better education quality, establishing more medical, nurses training and paramedic institutions for which there is demand across the world. If this was done the youth of Manipur need not travel long distances for getting educational opportunities, he said. He called for making the accounting system more transparent and aligning the fiscal deficit management trajectory within a time frame.

college creates rice bank Security beefed up at Int’l border in Tripura Assam to preserve indigenous varieties
Strict vigil by BSF along Indo-Bangla border in Tripura. (Panna Ghosh) Agartala, Nov 30 (PTI): With just a month to go before the Bangladesh Parliamentary elections, security has been tightened along the 856-km-long international border in Tripura to prevent anti-national elements from sneaking into the Indian territory, a top BSF official said Friday. The election in the neighbouring country is scheduled to be held on December 30.
At a press meet here on the eve of the Raising Day, BSF Inspector General (IG) Hemant Kumar Lohia said the guarding forces on both sides of the border have been put on alert in view of the polls. “We have augmented our forces to prevent criminals from entering or leaving the country. Our borders are usually very peaceful and the vigil is tight at all times. But we have deployed
more men and resources on the field in the wake of elections,” IG Lohia said. The Border Security Force (BSF) official also said equipment for electronic surveillance, which have been kept on reserve, are being used on the occasion. “The present strength of BSF personnel in Tripura is estimated to be 20,000. In addition to the existing forces, more men have been
NESO demands immediate abolition of Citizenship Bill SHILLONG, NOV 30: The powerful North East Students Organisation (NESO) on Friday staged a protest across the state capitals of seven North Eastern states demanding the immediate abolition of the proposed Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016. “We strongly opposed tooth and nail against this draconian Bill, and we strongly demand that the Indian government should not go ahead with the controversial Bill, which seeks to grants citizenship to religious minority communities- Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians- from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan – in India,” NESO chairman, Samuel B. Jyrwa said. Addressing a protest rally in Meghalaya’s state capital Shillong, Jyrwa said that the indigenous people of the region will no longer tolerate political injustice
meted out by the Indian government in the region. “Post India’s independence, our people in the northeastern states have been suppressed and oppressed by the draconian laws be it the Armed Forces Special Powers Act, bombing of Mizoram’s capital Aizawl among others,” Jyrwa said. Another political injustice meted out by the government of India on us (North Eastern states) was dumping the Hindu refugees, who escaped from East Pakistan during the liberation war of Bangladesh, in the region. Therefore, the North Eastern states are not a dumping ground for anyone,” he added amidst applause from the protestors. Exhorting the people to stand united against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016, Jyrwa said, “We will fight for the future generations like our forefathers fought for protection of the culture and tradition. We should be ready to sacrifice
identify and monitor the Rohingya refugees. The letter also said that the influx would be a “burden on the resources” of the country and aggravate security challenges. Of the 856-km-long international border with Bangladesh, around 70 km still remains unfenced in 34 different patches due to physical barriers and ownership issues, among other problems, the BSF inspector general said. For the “unfenced and riverine locations”, the BSF is contemplating the use of Comprehensive Integrated Border Management System, which is a network of multiple sensors, radars and personnel connected by an electronic system to the command headquarters, Lohia said. “The system is being used on a pilot basis in Jammu and in Dhubri of Assam. If the results turn out to be positive, we shall consider implementing the new system here in riverine areas or deep gorges along the international boundary where conventional fencing is impossible,” he added.
Silapathar (Assam), Nov 30 (IANS): A college in Assam has walked the extra mile by not only setting up a rice bank to preserve seeds of indigenous varieties that are losing out to new high-yielding varieties but also encouraging farmers to grow them so that they do not become extinct. The Silapathar Science College, located in Dhemaji district along the AssamArunachal Pradesh border, has so far documented and preserved 251 indigenous varieties through its rice bank. Set up in 1996, the college started to work closely with farmers in the district since 2015 and organised a “Rice Mela” to showcase the indigenous varieties grown in the district. “That was the beginning. We have encouraged our students to visit the whole of the district and collect the samples of rice g rown by the far mers. Dhemaji used to produce a large variety of rice, but most of these are not available now due to various reasons,” Ranjit Saikia, principal of the Silapathar Science
College, told IANS. He explained that while the government is promoting high-yielding varieties of rice through various schemes to boost production, local farmers also prefer these as more production means more financial gain. “This is a bad trend as the state’s indigenous rice varieties will become extinct,” he said, adding that the indigenous varieties of rice are tastier and more nutritious compared to the high-yielding varieties. Rice is the staple diet for most of the tribes and communities in Assam and the state produces a huge quantity of it. According to government statistics, Assam produced over 70 lakh tonnes of rice in 2017, compared to 52 lakh tonnes the previous year. Besides the normal rice, Assam also produces different varieties of aromatic rice, locally known as “Joha”; some varieties of soft rice, locally known as “Komal Saul” that needs no cooking; and a huge variety of sticky rice, commonly known as
“Bora”. “High-yielding varieties of rice are affecting the indigenous varieties. People have lost interest in growing indigenous varieties as production is less. However, the indigenous varieties are better suited to the local climate and there must be a sustained effort to improve production of the indigenous varieties,” Saikia explained. “We maintain a register of farmers. We are in constant touch with them and give them necessary support for cultivating the indigenous rice varieties,” he said, adding that the college is aware of which farmer is growing which indigenous variety every year. “This year, we have encouraged some farmers to grow ‘Meleki Bao’, an indigenous variety of red rice. At least 40 farmers have assured they would do so this year. We are working on a plan so that we can buy back the rice from the farmers at a standard price compared to the market,” said Dr Jitu Gogoi, a professor of the college’s botany department.

our lives for our people. They (Indian government) should not force their opinion on us and allow we will decide our own future.” It may be recalled that the Conrad Sangma-led Meghalaya Democratic Alliance government unanimously decided to oppose the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016. Though, the Assam government has not taken any official stand, but Asom Gana Parishad, which is an ally of the BJP in the Sarbananda Sonowal-led government, warned that it will pull out of the government if the Bill is passed. Noting that Nor th Eastern region will not take the burden of illegal immigrants, the apex student’s body of all the indigenous communities in the region, demanded the introduction of inner line permit and preparation of a National Register of Citizens to detect illegal Bangladeshi immigrants residing in the region.
IMPHAL, Nov 30: The ten-day, Manipur Sangai Festival concluded on Friday with colorful cultural dances and fireworks displayed at its main venue in Imphal’s Hatta Kangjeibung. The closing ceremony held at Bheigyachandra Open Air Theatre (BOAT), the main venue, was attended by state Governor Dr. Najma Heptulla and chief minister N Biren Singh and other dignitaries. In her address, Dr. Heptulla pointed out that under the Act East Policy, ardently pursued by the Centre and the state governments, there has been steady increase in tourism infrastructure. She therefore said that organizing the festival was a significant step to woo tourists and make Manipur a popular tourist destination. She added that, “the
festival provides an opportunity to showcase various aspects of our rich traditions and culture, besides promoting our handloom and handicraft products and places of immense natural beauty.” “When we speak of the serene beauty of Loktak Lake, we can also speak of the resplendent beauty of the Siroi Hills in the same breath,” she added and said that a number of places in the hill districts of the state can be developed into popular hill stations. However, she said that the state was still far away from realizing its full tourism potential. State chief minister N Biren Singh, in his address, expressed his happiness on the successful organization of the festival with full cooperation from people of all sections of society.

posted along the border to ensure zero infiltration,” he said. On the issue of the Rohingya refugee influx, Lohia said he did not feel that people of the Rakhine state in Myanmar were a threat to the “security and sanctity” of India. “We have so far apprehended nearly a hundred Rohingyas with help from state police forces. We have also maintained alert along the border and the Bangladesh guarding forces have cooperated in our efforts. Few Rohingyas, who had entered India, were apprehended when they were trying to flee to Bangladesh,” he maintained. In 2015, Rohingya Muslims fled Myanmar’s Rakhine state in large numbers to escape the military crackdown.

Tryst with destiny
n December 1, 2018 Nagaland which will complete 55 years of statehood and the journey has been as uncertain with the vicissitudes of time alternating and overlapping between hope, despair and despondency. The second President of India Dr.Seravapalli Radhakrishnan arrived Kohima on the momentous occasion, to formally inaugurate Nagaland as the 16th state of India on December 1,1963. Coinciding with statehood day, December 1 is also World AIDS Day, a reminder that another problem has been added on the state and its people. The birth of the state on December 1,1963 was the fruition of giving peace a chance and raising hopes that consolidation was better than confrontation. The darkness that swamped erstwhile Naga Hills of Assam and Tuensang Frontier Division under NEFA was unparalleled in post-independence India. Cries echoed the hills as inhuman atrocities led to its soil and river run red with blood. The dichotomy of Naga nationalism was exposed when the voice of moderates was first heard openly after T.Sakhrie openly expressed disagreement with Phizo regarding military confrontation with India. The hopelessness of the situation may have been a writing on the wall to moderates like T.Sakhrie, a close confidante of A.Z.Phizo. Sakhrie and his comrade J.B.Jasokie saw the futility of attempting a military solution and embraced the logic of negotiation. Sakhrie was condemned for daring to differ and his view exposed a divide between two ideologies, both adhering to two sides of Naga nationalism. It is generally believed, that T.Sakhrie was murdered for going against the grain of nationalist sentiments sweeping across Naga hills. The option of consolidation of forces of peaceful negotiation was also at play among educated Nagas and this has led to the formation of the Naga People’s Convention(NPC) and Dr.Imkongliba Ao became its first president. The NPC sought for an alternative and after a series of public meetings resolved to strike a bargain with the government of India. Due to the tremendous suffering of the people, NPC initiated a settlement which became known as the 16 Point Agreement. This was to be the imprint for statehood but which was rejected by the Naga nationalists who described the 16-Point Agreement as “betrayal and a sell out”. On August 20, 1961, Dr.Imkongliba Ao was shot and wounded in Mokokchung town by an underground gunman while on his way home from his pharmacy. He was taken to the Army Hospital but succumbed to his injuries on August 22 1961. Dr.Imkongliba thus became the first martyr of the 16-Point Agreement for Nagaland state. The formation of Naga Hills Tuensang Area (NHTA), comprising the Naga Hills of Assam and the Tuensang Frontier Division under NEFA became the eventual Nagaland state. If there was a spring of peace during the sixties to mid-seventies, the period during the seventies to the mid-eighties was also a decade of economic growth. It is unfortunate, that while there have been and will be too many who want to enjoy the privileges brought by Nagaland state, yet there has been no effort to remember contributions of leaders such as Dr.Imkongliba to Nagaland society. Celebration of Hornbill festival makes little sense if the bird is hunted to extinction and so also there is no logic in celebrating statehood day if cultural values are pushed to extinction by monumental corruption.
DailyDevotion “By the Grace of God I Am What I Am” By the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain… —1 Corinthians 15:10 The way we continually talk about our own inabilities is an insult to our Creator. To complain over our incompetence is to accuse God falsely of having overlooked us. Get into the habit of examining from God’s perspective those things that sound so humble to men. You will be amazed at how unbelievably inappropriate and disrespectful they are to Him. We say things such as, “Oh, I shouldn’t claim to be sanctified; I’m not a saint.” But to say that before God means, “No, Lord, it is impossible for You to save and sanctify me; there are opportunities I have not had and so many imperfections in my brain and body; no, Lord, it isn’t possible.” That may sound wonderfully humble to others, but before God it is an attitude of defiance. Conversely, the things that sound humble before God may sound exactly the opposite to people. To say, “Thank God, I know I am saved and sanctified,” is in God’s eyes the purest expression of humility. It means you have so completely surrendered yourself to God that you know He is true. Never worry about whether what you say sounds humble before others or not. But always be humble before God, and allow Him to be your all in all. There is only one relationship that really matters, and that is your personal relationship to your personal Redeemer and Lord. If you maintain that at all costs, letting everything else go, God will fulfill His purpose through your life. One individual life may be of priceless value to God’s purposes, and yours may be that life.

Post-mortem
Message of Governor on statehood day on 1st Dec, 2018
I
t is my privilege to address you on the eve of the completion of 55th years of our Statehood Day on 1st December 2018. I extend my warm greetings and best wishes to the people of Nagaland on this historic occasion. It was on the first of December in 1963, our state of Nagaland was created as the 16th State of the Indian Union. On this joyous occasion, I pay tribute to great leaders who were the architects and strived hard to create the State and achieved the aspirations and the identity of the people of the State. We are proud of the heritage that our early pioneers have given to us. I know that that these 55 years have been very fr uitful since the State has made commendable achievements in its development and governance though there are areas which need more focus. We need to march with the sole mission of development and progress with re-dedication and commitment to provide good quality of life to our people. We must focus on unity among the tribes and strengthen peace process by the Central Government and other Stakeholders. Friends, Today as our state stands on the crossroads of development and prosperity, peace remains a much cherished goal in our state. We have to ensure that we live in harmony with one another, have unity cutting across tribes and communities. There are challenges. Challenges can act as an inspiration. The need for development and economic growth is felt by all. Our goal is to improve governance
and inclusive growth with new and indigenous technology. I appeal to all our youth, women, farmers and workers of the State to be bold, creative and be open to new perspectives. We are second to none. I am confident that change in our mindset can be brought about by youth. They are our strength. They have tremendous vibrancy and creative energy. We need to provide quality education and focus more on capacity building and skill education to create more employment opportunities for the youth, we need to empower our youth to compete in the global market. E m p owe r e d N a g a youth with their talents and their knowledge can only make Nagaland a Golden Nagaland, a vibrant & economically strong Nagaland. No others can make our State an economically prosperous State. With God given natural resources like Oil, Coal, Hydro potential; Minerals, precious stones; Organic produces, solar energy, rain water, etc. we can become a strong and economically self-sufficient State in the Union of India. We Naga can strengthen our Nagaland. We have an opportunity waiting for us. The agro-climatic conditions in our state provide commercial opportunities for agro-based industries, medicinal and aromatic plants, horticulture, food processing, mining, tourism, handlooms and handicrafts sectors. Agriculture, which is the backbone of the state economy has witnessed improvements in food production. Focus should be given
on increasing productivity through adaptation of suitable technology. We have to be self sufficient in food. We have the potentiality to achieve this. Our state is blessed with good soil and agro climatic condition which is suitable for growing of various fruits and vegetables. Floriculture, one of the fastest growing sectors in the Horticulture sector in the State has its full potential for providing employment especially for the women to work, generating revenue and income for the womenfolk of the state. Realising the vast potential available, the State has been promoting and developing tourism to keep pace with the rest of the world. The highest number of tourist flow in Nagaland is during Hornbill festival. I am glad to know that Nagaland Tourism is also placed in the world tourism map. The state has made incredible progress in the field of health-care, education, social services, hospitality, culture and IT sectors. Proper Public Utility Services like Restaurants, Home Stay, Security, Public Toilets and proper publicity has to be the corner stone for motivating the domestic and foreign tourists. Amur Falcon roosting sites, Dzhuku Valley Trekking, Green Village Khonoma, Heritage Village Kisama, historic village Ruzhazho, and many more historic and beautiful places in the State can attract both domestic and foreign tourists. We have the potentially to be on the top in Sports, Hospitality, performing arts, etc. Friends, There are a number of schemes and welfare programmes to educate
the public about Governments Flagships Welfare Programmes. These are all beneficial for the welfare and upliftment of the people. There is a need for all concerned including the students and youths to be more aware of the schemes and to take advantage of them and also disseminate information about these schemes in their area. The Government of India has introduced MUDRA schemes targeted for helping students, especially from the weaker section of the society to become entrepreneurs. We a r e o p t i m i s t i c about the prospects of the on-going dialogue to bring about a resolution of the long pending political issue and I am confident that any final resolution will be with the support of all sections of our society. Being a Strategic Border Area State, we the people and Government have to see that we catch up with other economically developed States in our Country. Our youth empowered with education should take up this challenge to make Nagaland a Golden Nagaland. Equal development should be the goal of both Central and State Government for a strong Nation.

Some facts about Naga national political history
A
very warm and hearty welcome to all the visitors and wellwishers who have come to Nagaland State, to be our most honoured guests at this time of year. In addition to the traditionally acclaimed hospitality, I, as a responsible host, am duty bound to also serve you with a juicy slice of the Naga National Political History in the briefest nutshell, without which the full course of the Naga dish is much too incomplete and not as wholesome. The very first ever foreigners the Nagas happened to come in contact with, had been the British and the American Missionaries without any shadow of a doubt. The British sowed the Political Seed for better or for worse. And the American Missionaries brought the ever virile Seed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and sowed the same in our fertile land. The Nagas can never thank these two Nations sufficiently enough no matter how hard we try and attempt. But the naked truth can never at the same time be denied that both of them had fallen abysmally short for not speaking out the TRUTH of and about the Nagas; leaving her factually orphaned and helpless, only to be ravished by the cruel demonised hands of India for all of these seventy odd years of untold persecution and brutalisation. If you Democratic and Christian Countries (UK and USA included!) do not look after our welfare and speak up for and advocate our just case; to whom do you suggest we turn to for support and succour? Against all norms of natural justice and peaceful co-existence, the haughty British came intruding into our land and our lives; so the Nagas had to rise and do battle with her. Being much of a powerful Nation (then!) the Nagas could not prevail for much too long and gave way to her in gaining control over a small portion of Naga Land. She christened that parcel of land as the Naga Hills District most inauspi-
cious. However, there never had been any written Treaty between us to ever pollute History divine. This goes to prove that the Nagas had never sold off her Political Rights neither had she ever lost possession of them at any point of time, near or distant. The group of Nagas who were being most unwillingly governed by the British, in 1929 under the guise of Naga Club submitted a Memorandum to the Simon Commission. The crux of the written work had been that as and when the British withdrew her Government from Naga Land she should never be left to the mercies of any strange Nation – meaning India; but be instead left free and independent as in ancient times. Accordingly, the august British Parliament discussed the issue threadbare and passed the historic British Parliament Act 1935 whereby the British Naga Hills District had been declared “EXCLUDED AREA”. God Bless(ed) The Queen! Next to follow in the Stream of Time, after the WW II, the British Imperial Government declared that she would grant independence to the Indian subcontinent colony. Taking the cue most seriously, the Nagas immediately established the Naga National Council (NNC) and reinvigorated the clarion call of Naga Nationhood sounded by the Naga Club in reasserting our stand. Therein, while the British were still very much around, on August 14, 1947, one day before India; we officially declared our independent status afresh. Then, in the way of consolidating and reaffirming our stand, the Plebiscite/ Referendum was carried out on May 16, 1951, very timely. An unprecedented 99.9% of Nagas voted firmly for Naga Independence most spontaneous. In the meantime, Government of India on the audacious assumption that Nagas were also Indians, imposed her 1st General
Election on her. But since the Nagas had absolutely nothing to do with the Indian Election, not even one single vote was cast, creating History most explicit. What clearer proofs and or evidences are there beside these?!! Since and because India claims to be a Democratic Country and a very strong proponent of Democracy at that; should she also not honour and acknowledge the Democratic Rights most spectacularly executed by a people; even if they be the Nagas? India absolutely had not the slimmest of avenues to entangle the Nagas in and with; but she most shamelessly claimed and clamoured that the British had bequeathed Nagaland to her and on that flimsiest of excuses started and never stopped occupying her territory after invading her in late 1955. Whatever would the Nagas do then? Nagas could most certainly not stand up to the mighty India. So should she just surrender to India, cringing in fear? Or should she speak up her rights even at the great risk and certainty of being squashed completely? Emboldened and empowered most supernaturally, the Nagas were enabled to conclude that we would never give up our eternal God-given rights, total anathema! To this end, we set up the Federal Government of Nagaland on March 22, 1956 and from that day the actual physical war with Government of India had been wagged. Had the Government of India been half as sincere in her efforts to solve the IndoNaga Political conflict, she should have most obviously held talks with the actual adversary, here the Naga National Council (NNC) and the Federal Government of Nagaland (FGN). But instead, India chose the unholy option of shunning the NNC and FGN most deliberately and adopted the furtive path of negotiating with the Naga Peoples’ Convention, an entity she herself bred and nurtured; and entered into
the so-called 16-Point Agreement and granted Statehood to her very own scions. Thus on December 1, 1963, the State of Nagaland under Indian Union came to be inaugurated. All tenets of Political Science scream out the blazing fact that the 16-Point Agreement is but very much one of a unilateral agreement. This has nothing to do with the NNC and FGN and therefore has no legal binding whatsoever. The 16Point Agreement is merely a deed of treacherous National betrayal at best. The whole exercise boiled down to a hollow “Indian made Nagaland”. The Nagaland State Government in real essence is a Puppet Government; nothing more. This can never be construed to have solved the Indo-Naga Political conflict, in the most absolute. The final word has not yet been said much by very, very far. In order to arrive at the appropriate conclusion, the Government of India’s motive and approach would matter most vital. The Indo-Naga Political Conflict has been festering for the last seventy odd years. Nagas have brilliantly triumphed morally many times over; but India is much too strong physically. And she adamantly squats right over us by most cruel brutal force and evil intent. But for just how many years more would this be allowed to continue? May the sublime sense of natural justice and sane fellow feeling most aggressively permeate in and prevail upon the International Community at large and the Government of India specifically, resulting in setting the Nagas free in very good quick time. Otherwise, in consonance with the saying “A mighty flame followeth a tiny spark” (Dante Alighiere), the apparently trifling Naga Case left unattended might ignite and invite matters of much grimmer consequences, so says the wise Owl!

KTU appeals for Naga-Kuki amity
he Nagas and the Kukis basically profess the same biological, cultural and religious fundamentals and had lived together in harmony for generations. There were unfortunate incidents in the history between the brothers owing to some misunderstandings and misinformation. Both sides in the entire conflict suffered casualties, uprooting homes and villages and killing one another in hundreds, whereof the Kukis termed and apprised the aftermath as “genocide”, “ethnic cleansing” and “holocaust” that does not fit and qualify at all the event in the International Court of Justice as a crime the Kukis accused the NSCN of. The unpopular accusation and observation of “Black Day” by the Kukis spearheaded by the “Kuki Inpi Manipur” is read (seen) as sowing seeds of discords and vendetta among the younger generation. It is also unfortunate of the motive of making a particular tribe a scapegoat and party over the past incident which was not a validated historical account. Such a ceremony invites counter observation which ultimately evoke unprecedented conflict. The negative aspect of war and killing begets human nothing but sadness and sorrow. As we are of the same progenitor, it is time for us to reconcile the pass mistakes and bridge the broken relation and political affinity. It is time to come together and uphold the “common hope and future”. Distortion of facts and historical accounts and handing down animosity to posterities are the gifts of the false leaders. Nagas and Kukis as a people of Christ and for Christ must learn to live in love and to forgive and forget and reconcile to rebuild the damaged relation between the two communities.

CUT on BSNL Control Unit
Sir,
We the Consumer Union Tening (CUT) question the concern BSNL Department as to why the control Unit at Nkialwa has not been removed till date inspite of repeated appeals made by the public as well as the students Union? Concerning the said control unit at Nkialwa, the head office had assured of its removal as the installation was found to be technically unsound and uncall for. Therefore the unwarranted authorisation of the said Unit at the expense of Tening area is questionable and liable for legal action. We will stand by Tening Students Union and it’s ultimatum given on 23/11/18 which is a laudable undertaking for the welfare of the area. Therefore we appeal the BSNL head office to remove the said Unit and reinstall at Tening with immediate effect before things get worse. Asibo Kaurinta, President, Consumer Forum Tening (N) & Ditalabo Rentta, Secretary, Consumer Forum Tening (N) Reader’s note: Articles or letters published in any of the columns do not reflect the view of this newspaper nor that of the Editor in any manner.

Kartarpur corridor is safe: BSF DG
New Delhi, Nov 30 (IANS): BSF Director General Rajni Kant Mishra on Friday said the Kartarpur road corridor between India and Pakistan will not be a security challenge for the force as it has already been handling Wagah-Attari International Border (IB) that witnesses crossover of lots of people. “As a border guarding force, we will handle the responsibilities we are given. Opening of Kartarpur corridor is not a challenge... This is not a difficult thing as we handle a large number of people who keep coming and going from Wagah-Attari border,” he told the media during an annual conference of the Border Security Force (BSF). The DG’s assertion came in a reply to a question if the force would face a security challenge after the building of the corridor from Dera Baba Nanak in Punjab’s Gurdaspur district to the IB to facilitate Indian pilgrims to visit Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur in Pakistan. The foundation stones for developing the four-kilometre corridor on either side of the border were laid by India and Pakistan earlier this week. Mishra said his force had given befitting reply to Pakistan after the killing of BSF head constable Narender Kumar in a Border Action Team (BAT) attack on a patrol party in September and that strategy will be adopted for all such attacks in the future.
Rajni Kant Mishra (File)
“Befitting reply was given to our adversary,” he said. “As we don’t get information from the other side, it is very difficult to say how much damage exactly happened. I have entrusted the Additional Director General, Western Command to conduct an inquiry into the instances of sniping and BAT action in the last five years and suggest measures to prevent recurrence of incidents.” Queries over the number of terror camps operating from across the border, Mishra said: “It can’t be divulged in public... We keep getting information about camps through various sources.” Talking about the freedom of BSF in taking tough decisions on border, he said: “The force don’t need
to ask anyone in critical situations. We have standing instruction to take decisions...” Over the functioning of pilot projects of Comprehensive Integrated Border Management System (CIBMS) in Jammu along the IB between India and Pakistan to track infiltration, Mishra said the BSF is satisfied with the results since its installation. “We are also acquiring all required world-class gadgets to complete the project. By this December or early next year, we will be able to come out with some effective measures.” The DG said the BSF is also constructing some unique bunkers with in-house mechanism so that the personnel can physically keep an eye on the border, respond as per the need and keep them protected at the same time. About the viral video released last year by BSF trooper Tej Bahadur Yadav complaining about the quality of food being served to soldiers, the DG said his force does not supply food to the place related to the incident. “Our personnel are free to choose their own menu and they are helped in procuring their own ration. They are free to choose what to cook. After the controversy, we requested the DRDO to check the quality of our food. In DRDO findings showed 97 per cent satisfaction.”
SC junks Army personnel’s plea against dilution of AFSPA
New Delhi, Nov 30 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a plea by a group of serving Army officers and personnel against the dilution of AFSPA that gives immunity to military personnel from prosecution for actions in disturbed and insurgency-hit areas. The bench of Justice Madan B. Lokur and Justice Uday Umesh Lalit dismissed the plea by 355 serving Army officers and personnel even as the Central government supported the plea by the men in uniform against their prosecution by the CBI for alleged acts of excesses during anti-insurgency operations in Jammu and Kashmir and northeastern states. “Fact that 350 soldiers of our country has to pray for this is itself unfortunate,” Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the bench lending support to the petitioners represented by lawyer Aishwarya Bhati. Before dismissing the petition, the bench gave Aishwarya Bhati
an option to withdraw it, as was done a little earlier by the personnel of Manipur Police. However, as Bhati declined the suggestion, the court dismissed it. The petitioner Army men had sought direction that “protection of persons acting in good faith under the AFSPA -- Armed Forces (Special Powers) Acts -- is sacrosanct with the sovereignty and integrity of the nation” and that “no prosecution, suit or other legal proceeding shall be instituted, except with the previous sanction of the Central government...” The petitioners had also sought specific guidelines to protect military personnel from criminal proceedings for bona fide actions done in the discharge of official duties in areas infested with insurgents and witnessing proxy wars against India. The petitioners included from Section Commanders to Commanding Officers who lead section, platoon,
company and battalion made of 10 to 1,000 men each. They had contended that the protection provided by the AFSPA does not confer any special right to a soldier for himself, but facilitates his functioning and operations in extraordinary circumstances of proxy war, insurgency, armed hostility, ambushes, and covert and overt operations. Drawing a distinction between routine policing and military operations in disturbed areas, they had contended that absolute protection for bona fide actions of soldiers in extraordinary situations is imperative to enable them to carry out their duties effectively and efficiently. This protection from criminal prosecution for bona fide actions of a soldier in the course of military operations in disturbed areas, the petition had said, was sine qua non for the protection of country’s sovereignty and integrity.
Antarctic Ozone hole is healing: IIT Kharagpur study Ko l k ata , N ov 3 0 (PTI): A research team of the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur have come up with new data “confirming” that the Antarctic Ozone hole is on a “healing” path, a statement issued by the institute said Friday. Researchers of the Center of Oceans, Rivers, Atmosphere and Law Science (CORAL) of IIT Kharagpur have collected data from 1979 to 2017, which shows though there was a loss in saturation of Ozone since 1987 over the Antarctic, the saturation of loss at 12-21 km stretch has significantly reduced over the period 20012017, the statement said. While the world is debating on climate change and global warming, the findings by CORAL researchers have given environmentalists a reason to rejoice, it said.
BJP leaders demand ban on liquor sale in Bengal Shantipur (WB), Nov 30 (PTI): The BJP Friday demanded West Bengal be declared a dry state and alleged that money earned from sale of spurious liquor was being passed as funds to the ruling Trinamool Congress in the state. Since Wednesday, 12 people died and over 35 people fell sick after consuming spurious liquor at a village here in Nadia district. Most of the victims were brickfield workers. A BJP delegation led by party national general secretary Kailash Vijayvergiya and leader Mukul Roy Friday met families of the deceased. The delegation also went to the district hospital and met those who had taken ill in the incident. They assured the victims and their families of support. Talking to reporters, Roy demanded a complete ban on the sale of liquor in West Bengal. “Various BJP-ruled states have banned sale of liquor in their respective states. What is stopping the TMC government from banning the sale of liquor in West Bengal?” Roy asked.
7 Nagaland inks MoU to setup e-GAN (From p-1) Stressing entrepreneurship as the need of the hour, Acharya suggested that Naga graduates coming out of universities should become entrepreneurs with financial backing from Mudra Bank. In his keynote address, IT&C adviser Mmhonlumo Kikon observed that, whether in individual capacity or in collective capacity, one needed a vision to motivate others and put things into proper focus for achieving greater things. He claimed that, keeping this in mind, the IT&C department was now having a vision to take care of many important issues like encouraging employment of youth, entrepreneurship, poverty elevation, promotion of higher education and so on. He pointed out that the State government had brought out its own vision to make Nagaland an IT hub through setting up of world class business process outsourcing and knowledge process outsourcing for North East and South East Asia. Kikon mentioned that the government intended to provide high internet bandwidth to every village panchayat, transform Nagaland into a digital society through transparency and
accountability, enable all government departments to have an e-office to deliver services promptly through online system and bring about a comprehensive IT literacy initiative throughout the State. Further, he said the government also envisaged to generate direct and indirect employment for at least one lakh local youth in IT and e-governance-related activities, promote knowledge-based economy and increase GDP of the State through use of information communication technologies (ICT) and IT services. He mentioned that the IT&C department aimed at promoting electronic financial transactions using virtual bank branches operating from customer activated terminals, smart phones and other electronic accessories, besides ensuring cyber security, information security, prevention of data corruption and fraudulent practices. The adviser asserted that the department would promote telemedicine, telemarketing and market supply chain through networking for retailers, distributors, warehouses, transporter, manufacturers, material suppliers, etc. He said it was also striving to ensure digitisation of all records and
promote use of demographic database for determining age and sex composition, income levels, distribution of resources, regional disparities, incidence of diseases, life expectancy etc. Kikon mentioned about conducting training programmes for government departments, schools, colleges, entrepreneurs and general citizens in IT for improving their skills to meet the challenges of knowledge economy and promote economic growth. In his brief address, e-governance Academy of Estonia director Arvo Ott said the academy looked forward to give better life to citizens through IT. Other resource persons of the summit were Sara Fernandes special, advisor to UN universisty (Portugual); SN Pradhan, jt. secretary DoNER; Anneia Kiirats, programme e-Governance Academy; Summit Mukhrejee, business development Manager Amazon; Kadri Kaska NATO cooperative cuber defence Centre; Chris Keres, head of Network Connections & Additional Service; Tiarenla Jamir, co-founder Roots & Leisure and Dihakar Chakraborty, Blockchain specialist. The programme was chaired by IT&C commissioner and secretary KD Vizo.
AIMIM demands reinstatement of Muslim quota in Maha M u m b a i , N ov 3 0 (PTI): A day after the Maharashtra legislature cleared a Maratha quota bill, the All India Majlise-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) said Friday that it would move the high court for reinstatement of quota for Muslims. The previous Congress-NCP government Imtiyaz Jaleel (File) had provided a five per cent quota to Muslims Maharashtra. AIMIM MLA Imtialong with a 16 per cent quota for Marathas in yaz Jaleel told reporters
at the legislature complex here that his party was not opposed to reservation for the Maratha community, however, the same yardstick should be applied to the Muslims as well. “The only option before us now is moving the court because we haven’t got justice from this government. We are not asking for reservation based on caste but on the basis of social, educational and economic backwardness,”
he said. While the BJP-led government introduced a bill providing quota for the Marathas on the basis of a report of the State Backward Class Commission (SBCC), three gover nment-appointed committees -- Sachhar Commission, Ranganath Mishra Commission and Mehmood Rehman commission -- had recommended quota for Muslims, Jaleel said.

Banks’ Association, told ET. “How much the customer would be charged would differ from one bank to another as that would depend on how the free services are valued.” Most of the major banks have agreed to start charging 18% GST on the free services, according to people familiar with the matter. “We have agreed in principle that we would start collecting GST from customers. The mechanics need to be worked out, but since we are not that big in retail banking, we will wait for the larger banks to come out with a methodology,” said the tax head of a multinational bank. The tax department claims that customers maintaining a minimum balance in their accounts get some free services that have a “deemed value” and are taxable. GST will be calculated taking into account the charges paid for such services by customers who do not maintain a minimum account balance.

MUMBAI, Nov 30 (Agencies): Faced with the prospect of paying goods and services tax (GST) on ‘free services’ provided to customers who maintain a minimum balance in their accounts, top lenders including State Bank of India, ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank are considering passing on this cost to them. Over the past two months, the tax department has issued preliminary notices to banks seeking to levy goods and services tax on services such as issuing cheque books and additional credit cards, ATM usage and refund of fuel surcharge. The GST notices are separate from those served in April to recover about Rs 40,000 crore in service tax and penalties from all banks. “Most banks are now considering passing on the GST cost to the customer. This would be a pure pass-through and the amount would go directly to the government,” VG Kannan, CEO of the Indian

producers’ side or supply side, the GDP projects the consumers’ side or demand perspective. The International Monetary Fund, in its latest World Economic Outlook, has pegged India’s growth forecast for the current financial year at 7.3 per cent as the economy rebounds from the transitory turmoil of demonetisation and GST implementation. Chairman of the Economic Advisory Council to Prime Minister (EAC-PM) Bibek Debroy said GDP estimates are a reflection of the government’s successful policy efforts in maintaining a stable domestic environment despite global uncertainties. The Gross Fixed Capital Formation as a ratio of GDP has increased by almost 1.3 percentage points on yearly basis. The exports for second quarter have grown by 13.4 per cent. The Government consumption for the quarter has also significantly increased by 12.7 per cent. GVA growth in the agriculture sector (including forestry and fishing) slowed to 3.8 per cent from 5.3 per cent in the previous quarter.

ture growth at 3.8% is steady. Construction at 6.8 per cent and mining at -2.4 per cent reflect monsoon months deceleration,” Economic Affairs Secretary Subhash Chandra Garg tweeted. The growth during April-September stood at 7.6 per cent, which is “quite robust and healthy”, he said. “Still, the highest growth rate in the world”. The Ministry of Finance said the second quarter has seen a reasonable overall GDP growth. “The growth in the second quarter is on higher base compared to the growth of the first quarter...The Indian Economy is on track to maintain a high growth rate in the current global environment,” it added. The second quarter growth of 7.1 per cent keeps India ahead of China, which had expanded at the rate of 6.5 per cent in the JulySeptember period this year. In gross value added terms, the CSO data said the economy grew at 6.9 per cent in the July-September period, lower than 8 per cent GVA growth in the first quarter.

Mumbai, Nov 30 (PTI): The rupee strengthened further by 27 paise to close at a four-month high of 69.58 against the US currency Friday, extending gains for a fourth day in a row aided by easing crude oil prices and firm stock markets. The rupee traded firm against the US currency despite a firm dollar overseas, signalling a change in sentiments of forex speculators, analysts said. At the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex), the rupee opened higher at 69.68, and soon gathered momentum to touch a high of 69.57. The domestic unit, however, pared some gains and settled the day up by 27 paise at 69.58 a dollar, a level not seen since August 1.

New Delhi, Nov 30 (PTI): India’s economic growth slowed to 7.1 per cent in the September quarter after peaking to an over two-year high in the first three months of this fiscal, as consumption demand moderated and farm sector displayed signs of weakness. The growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in July-September is the lowest in three quarters but better than 6.3 per cent in the same period of the previous year, helping the country retain the tag of the world’s fastestgrowing major economy, ahead of China. The Indian economy had grown by 8.2 per cent in the first quarter of the current fiscal year that began in April, according to data released by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) Friday. The government, naturally, was disappointed but took comfort in the fact that the expansion was “robust and healthy” when the average rate for the first six months of the current fiscal are taken. “GDP growth for second quarter 2018-19 at 7.1 per cent seems disappointing.

President Donald Trump (C), Mexico’s President Enrique Pena Nieto and Canada’s PM Justin Trudeau as they prepare to sign a new United States-MexicoCanada Agreement on Friday. (AP/PTI) Buenos Aires, Nov 30 (IANS): Leaders of the US, Canada and Mexico on Friday signed a new trade deal to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) that Donald Trump touted as a huge win for the American economy. After 14 months of acrimonious negotiations, the US-Mexico-Canada
Agreement (USMCA) was signed at an event in the Argentinian capital on the sidelines of a Group of 20 summit of advanced and developing economies. Trump called the new deal the “most significant and largest” in US history, CNN reported. Standing between outgoing Mexican President Peña Nieto and Cana-
Saudi to help India meet its growing energy demands Buenos Aires, Nov 30 (PTI): Saudi Arabia has offered India to supply oil and petroleum products it needs to meet its growing energy demands during a meeting between Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, official Saudi media reported on Friday. The two leaders met at Salman’s residence in the Argentinian capital Buenos Aires on the sidelines of the G-20 summit. During the meeting, the two sides discussed the horizons of bilateral cooperation between the two friendly countries in the various political, security, economic, investment, agricultural, energy, cultural, and technological fields, Saudi Press Agency reported. In the investment field, they discussed the investment opportunities in the infrastructure through the Public Investment Fund, as well as opportunities in the agricultural field with the aim of replacing agricultural imports from other countries to the kingdom with Indian agricultural imports. In the field of energy, they discussed the kingdom’s readiness to supply India with all of its needs of oil and petroleum products,
as well as Saudi Aramco’s investment in refineries in India, especially the large refinery on the western coast of India and in the field of crude oil storage, the report said. The import of crude oil by India forms a major component of bilateral trade with Saudi Arabia being India’s one of the largest suppliers of crude oil, accounting for almost one-fifth of its needs. India has a refining capacity of 232.066 million tonnes, which exceeded the demand of 194.2 million tonnes in 2016-17 fiscal. According to the International Energy Agency, this demand is expected to reach 458 million tonnes by 2040. During the meeting, the two leaders also discussed investment in solar energy through the Soft Bank Vision Fund and through the Saudi companies which will build solar energy projects. In the military field, they discussed strategies to localise military industry and cooperation in the field of military manufacturing in both countries, the report said. They also reviewed what has been accomplished during the previous two years in the area of bilateral relations.
dian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at a press conference, the US President said: “We worked hard on this agreement, it’s been long and hard. We’ve taken a lot of barbs and a little abuse, but we got there.” He said the deal would give American farmers greater access to markets for their agricultural products, “something we’ve been wanting to for many years”. Trump also said the deal would transform the American auto industry, promoting fair competition and high wages. The signing of the new USMCA trade deal does not mean it goes into effect as it still requires Congressional approval in Washington, where key members of both political parties have expressed significant concerns.
Twitter blast defending his past property dealings in Russia, again denouncing the investigation as a “witch hunt,” a day after his ex-lawyer pleaded guilty to lying to Congress over the affair. On the G20 margins, Trump scored one victory for his “America First” agenda with the signing of a successor to the North American free trade pact NAFTA, the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Although the new pact inherits key features from the old one, Trump has declared it a victory for the US workers he claims were cheated by NAFTA and on Friday called it the most “modern and balanced agreement in history.”
L on d on, N ov 3 0 (Agencies): Ukraine will not allow Russian men aged 16-60 into the country following the imposition of martial law, Kiev says. An exception would be made for “humanitarian cases” such as those travelling to funerals. Russia says it is not planning retaliatory measures. Martial law has been imposed in 10 Ukrainian regions until December 26. The move came amid fears of a Russian invasion after Russian forces seized three Ukrainian vessels and 24 sailors in the Black Sea last Sunday. Ukraine said the incident was a flagrant violation of international law, while Russia says the vessels violated its territorial waters. It is the most dangerous clash at sea off Crimea since Russia annexed the Ukrainian peninsula in March 2014. The restrictions were announced after President Petro Poroshenko met the country’s top security officials, including border guard chiefs, in Kiev. The president tweeted (in Ukrainian) that the ban was designed to prevent

the formation of “private armies” in Ukraine. He was referring to Russian-backed separatists who formed units in April 2014 to fight Ukrainian government forces in eastern Ukraine. Mr Poroshenko also said registration criteria would be tightened for Russian citizens in the regions under martial law. On Tuesday, he warned there was a threat of “fullscale war” with Russia. “The number of [Russian] tanks at bases located along our border has grown three times,” the president said. Five of the 10 regions border Russia while two are adjacent to Moldova’s breakaway Trans-Dniester region, where Russian
troops are stationed. The other three regions border the Black Sea or Sea of Azov close to Crimea. T h e B B C ’s Jo n a h Fisher in Kiev says the ban could have a devastating impact on cross-border travel as the holiday period approaches. Many Russians have relatives living in Ukraine. Reacting to the Ukrainian ban, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Moscow was not planning “mirror” measures as this “could result in full madness”. Russia earlier said the 30-day martial law in Ukraine had been declared in order to potentially suspend presidential elections set for 31 March.
US strike in Afghanistan’s SL Parliament halts ministers’ salaries Helmand killed 23 civilians Kabul, Nov 30 (IANS): A US airstrike in Afghanistan against Taliban militants earlier this week killed 23 civilians and the majority of victims were women and children, the UN said in its preliminary findings on Friday. The strike on a compound in Helmand province was called in during a joint operation between Afghan and US forces on Tuesday, TOLO News reported. The UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) in a statement said up to 10 children and eight women might have been killed in the strike. Three children were reportedly injured. US forces said they were investigating the incident. The US-led NATO mission in Afghanistan said that Tuesday’s helicopter strike took place amid a firefight between US-advised Afghan special forces and
Taliban fighters in Garmser district. NATO said the Taliban had been using the building that was hit “as a fighting position” and accused the militants of continuously using civilians as human shields. A local resident who did not want to be named for fear of retaliation told the BBC that Taliban fighters were indeed near the building that was hit by the US strike. The UNAMA recorded 649 civilian casualties (dead and injured) as a result of aerial attacks in the first nine months of this year, the highest number in any year since systematic recording began in 2009. In April, an attack by the Afghan Air Force -trained and equipped by the US -- killed 30 children in Kunduz province at a graduation ceremony.

The South Asian island has been locked in political gridlock for over a month since President Maithripala Sirisena replaced former Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe with Rajapaksa, who was then twice sacked by parliament but has refused to resign. Foreign countries have yet to recognise the new government. Friday’s motion, which passed 122 to none in the 225-member parliament, followed a similar vote on Thursday to cut the budget to the Prime Minister’s office. Rajapaksa loyalists also skipped that vote, arguing the motion was illegal. “The motion to cut

down the expenditures of ministers, deputy ministers, and state ministers is passed,” parliament’s speaker Karu Jayasuriya said. He earlier said he would officially inform ministry secretaries of the decision. The motion specifically was to prohibit top civil servants from paying out salaries and travel expenses. However, one senior civil servant from a government ministry, speaking to Reuters on condition of anonymity, said it was unclear how such a vote would be applied in practice because there were questions over whether due process had been followed. In a repeat of Thursday’s actions, Rajapaksa loyalists denounced the vote
and called into question the impartiality of the speaker. “The motion presented today is illegal and we have mentioned it to the speaker too. We will not attend such illegal motions,” Anura Priyadharshana Yapa, a minister in Rajapaksa’s disputed government, told reporters before the proceedings started. Later, Rajapaksa and Wickremesinghe met in the parliament, sources close to the two men told Reuters. “They spoke about the way forward,” one source said, adding that the impasse was unlikely to break before a court ruling on whether President Sirisena’s Nov. 9 decision to dissolve parliament was constitutional.

US objections on those fronts have seen two major summits this year, of the Group of Seven democracies and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, end without the onceroutine statements.

Buenos Aires, Nov 30 (Agencies): G20 leaders opened annual talks on Friday stalked by the deepest divisions since their first summit 10 years ago, with US President Donald Trump under fire for destroying the group’s past consensus on trade and climate change. Russian President Vladimir Putin, under pressure himself after his security forces seized three Ukrainian ships, set the tone by condemning the “vicious” use of sanctions and trade protectionism, AFP reported. The target was clear, as Trump -- who cancelled a planned meeting with Putin in Buenos Aires -- tears up the stability promoted by the G20 powers when they first convened in November 2008 in the grip of financial crisis. Putin’s attack, and similar criticism of Trump’s isolationist stance by French President Emmanuel Macron, capped an incidentpacked buildup to the G20 that included flare-ups over Ukraine and Saudi Arabia. Putin grinned broadly and welcomed Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman like a long-lost friend with a high-five ahead of a group photo where Trump stood grimly.

DIMAPUR: NSCN (K) led by Khango Konyak has issued a clarification to the statement issued by “so called NSCN (K) led by Yung Aung” with regard to assignments of finance in charges. In a press note MIP asserted that Yung Aung group, who have been tagged as “terrorists organization”, had no legitimate right to claim as NSCN (K) or impose tax on “so called Nagas of Nagaland, Manipur i/c southern Nagas, Nagas of Arunachal and Assam”. MIP asked how the Yung Aung group, which was solely working for Nagas of Burma, could impose tax on Nagas under the Indian state. It also pointed out that the Yung Aung group was party to Myanmar’s Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA), which clearly showed they were not working for Nagas without borders. MIP further advised Yung Aung group to not use the nomenclature -- NSCN (K), as they were no more representing the Nagas as a whole. MIP said that those persons assigned as finance in-charges were working only for their own personal benefits but not for Nagas. It further warned that any person/union dealing with them will be doing so at their own risk and the “government shall not be held responsible if any unwanted situations may arise”.
Fire fighting & safety program in Wokha DIMAPUR: Along with the rest of the State the department of Fire and Emergency Services (F&ES), Wokha organized a one day awareness and capacity building program on basic fire fighting and prevention on November 28 at Town Hall, Wokha.

Assistant Station Officer, F&ES, Wokha, gave a briefing on the basics of fire, its prevention control and life safety measures. He also explained that installed fire extinguishers should be easily visible and accessible to be used in
times of emergency. He also highlighted the types of extinguishers, their operation and usage, care and maintenance. ASI, F&ES, Wokha also spoke about the fire safety guidelines and do’s & don’ts.

‘A Diamond of Dust’ book released
DIMAPUR: A book titled “A Diamond of Dust” written by A. Anato Swu, a permanent resident of Satakha town in Zunheboto, was released on November 30 for international readership, by Maurice Wylie Media (MWM) from Northern Ireland. According to the author, the book talks about the jour ney of how a promising medical student ironically becomes a drug addict, and in the midst of the darkest valley, how God had another plan and eternity crossed his path where he experienced a turnaround in his life.

CBI books company in Rs 1500 cr fraud case
New Delhi, Nov 30 (PTI): The CBI has booked a company and its directors for allegedly cheating over 1.5 lakh investors in Tamil Nadu to the tune of over Rs 1,500 crore by offering lucrative returns on their investments, officials said Friday. The agency registered an FIR against Madurai-based Parivar Dairies And Allied Limited and its promoters Basant Lal Sharma, Rakesh Singh Narwaria, Ahibaran Singh, Chandra Bhan Yadav, Neeraj Singh, Banu Pratap Singh, all residents of Gwalior. Besides them, Alwar resident Pradeep Kumar Sharma and Madurai based Dheivam were also booked under IPC sections related to criminal conspiracy, criminal breach of trust and cheating, an official said. The action of the CBI came on the directions of Madurai bench of the Madras High Court which asked the agency to take over the investigation, considering interstate ramifications of the case. It was alleged in the petition before the high court that the company had lured over 1.5 lakh investors collecting over Rs 1,500 crore.
true, amounted to violation of the human rights of the victim. The NHRC release mentioned a video clip of the purported incident circulated on the social media showing the victim sitting in a police vehicle. A man in a blue shirt opened the door of the van and slapped the victim repeatedly. A policeman seated next to the victim held him by the arm. The man was then seen pulling Rajendra out of the vehicle. The victim’s family has alleged that six villagers, with whom he had quarrelled the previous day, beat him to death with lathis. The Shamli superintendent of police (SP) was reported as saying that the victim did not die in police custody as he had escaped from the police van and was beaten up by the crowd later. The SP had also reportedly said that after about two hours, the victim suffered a fall from the roof of his house and died due to head injuries, the release noted. However, on the basis of a complaint filed by the victim’s brother, an FIR under various Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections, including 302 (murder) and 148 (rioting with armed weapons), was lodged at the Jhinjhana police station against six persons and one of them, identified as the “main accused”, was arrested, the NHRC said.

Defence Academy (NDA) here. He said that Pakistan had to look at its internal situation in the context of whether “we stay together or separate”. The Army chief ’s remarks came two days after Imran Khan said at the ground-breaking ceremony at Kartarpur said “if India takes one step, Pakistan will take two steps”. “They are saying you take one step, we will take two. There is a contradiction in what they are saying. So to generate trust, you cannot keep making these statements. “One step from them should come in a positive manner. Only then we will take some action and see if
New Delhi, Nov 30 (PTI): A ceiling on party expenditure in campaigning, for which the Election Commission (EC) has been pressing political parties and the government, will see “the light of day in time to come”, says Chief Election Commissioner O P Rawat. Rawat, who demits office on Saturday, said his “only regret” as head of the poll panel is that the EC was unable to recommend to the Law Ministry a fresh “legal framework” in tune with the changing times vis-a-vis the use of money and social media. Sunil Arora will take over as the new chief election commissioner on Sunday. Responding to a question on transparency in funding of political parties, Rawat told PTI in an interview that it is “a long-term reform”. “... all political party meeting in August (this year) had recommended that there should be a ceiling on party expenditure and commensurately there should be transparency in funding. I think it will see the light of day in time to come,” he said. Almost all parties agreed to a cap on expenditure, he added.
there has been some effect on the ground level or not. Till then, our country has a very clear policy - terror and talks cannot go together,” Gen Rawat said. Urging Khan to take action against terrorism in his own country, he said: “India has taken several steps forward. We said that terrorism is breeding in your (Pakistan) country. So first you take some action in your country which shows that you are actually doing something to curb terrorism in your country.” Technological strength will be key in future wars, Army chief Gen Bipin Rawat said Friday, adding there is a need to make military officers tech-savvy.

The election watchdog has been pushing for greater transparency in electionrelated expenditure by parties and candidates. Like individuals, there should be a ceiling on expenditure by political parties during polls, according to the Election Commission, which has referred the matter to the Law Ministry for legislative action. At present, there is a ceiling on campaigning funds for individual candidates in the electoral fray but no cap on the money political parties can spend for electioneering. The ceiling varies from state to state depending on its population and number of assembly or Lok Sabha seats. Asked on his ‘biggest regret’ as the CEC, Rawat said times are changing fast
with money and social media playing a major role in electioneering. The Commission, he added, wanted to review the legal framework “comprehensively to align it to the emerging situation and futuristic needs”. “So a committee was constituted which has reviewed the law and made recommendations. But the Commission did not get time to focus on these and make recommendations to the Law Ministry. That is the only regret I have,” he said. The back-to-back elections this year, “all delivered with total fairness”, are his biggest success as head of the poll panel, the outgoing CEC said. He said the elections were incident free with Chhattisgarh recording 77 per cent turnout against the backdrop of threats by left-wing extremists who had been exploding improvised explosive devices and even chopping off fingers of people to instil fear. Rawat said the recently-launched C-Vigil mobile application had empowered the common man. “... 7,000 complaints and 100 per cent disposal. It has worked wonders,” he said.
ED issues fresh summons against Vadra
New Delhi, Nov 30 (IANS): The Enforcement Directorate has issued fresh summons to Congress President Rahul Gandhi’s brother-in-law Robert Vadra in an ongoing probe into the 2012 Kolayat land deal case, sources said. An ED official told IANS: “We have issued fresh summons to Vadra to appear before the agnecy in the first week of December.” The official said fresh summons were issued after Vadra failed to appear before the agency earlier this month. “Vadra himself did not appear on the last day and instead sent his legal representative with documents. We have told Vadra that we need to examine him personally and so he must depose before the agency,” the official said. The ED action comes in the wake of a media report that a firm that gave loan to buy Vadra land at

a premium got a big relief from the Income Tax Settlement Commission. The report by The Indian Express said the ED, which is investigating a web of controversial land transactions in Bikaner involving Vadra’s companies, has asked the Income Tax Settlement Commission for details on its proceedings in the case related to Bhushan Power and Steel Limited, which gave a loan to a company that bought land owned by Vadra’s firm at seven times the acquisition cost. The ED official also
confirmed that the agency has asked the Income Tax Settlement Commission for details on its proceedings. The ED has been probing the alleged scam in the purchase of land in Kolayat area of the border town of Bikaner in Rajasthan. According to the ED officials, Skylight Hospitality had purchased 69.55 hectares of land for Rs 72 lakh and then sold it to Allegeny Finlease for Rs 5.15 crore, earning a profit of Rs 4.43 crore. The agency registered a criminal case under the Money Laundering Act in 2015, taking cognizance of the case filed by the Rajasthan police after forgery allegations. The agency had earlier issued notices to Skylight Hospitality but had not mentioned Vadra’s name or any company linked to him in its FIR. According to the ED,
during investigation it was found that Allegeny Finlease as a company was “not involved” in any “real business activities” and many of its share holders were found to be dummy or nonexistent. The government had cancelled the mutation (transfer of land) of 374.44 hectares of land, after allotments were found to have been allegedly made in the names of “illegal private persons”. Revenue officials had said in the complaint that government land in 34 villages of Bikaner that was meant to be used for expanding the Army’s firing range was “grabbed” by the land mafia by preparing “forged and fabricated documents” in connivance with government officials. ED suspects that a huge amount of money was laundered in this case by people buying land at cheaper rates through forged documents.
New Delhi, Nov 30 (PTI): Delhi’s air quality was in the ‘very poor’ category Friday due to unfavourable meteorological conditions that slowed dispersion of pollutants, with forecast of “significant deterioration” in pollution levels over the weekend. According to Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) data, the overall air quality index (AQI) of Delhi was 358. An AQI between 0 and 50 is considered ‘good’, 51 and 100 ‘satisfactory’, 101 and 200 ‘moderate’, 201 and 300 ‘poor’, 301 and 400 ‘very poor’, and 401 and 500 ‘severe’. The CPCB said seven areas in Delhi, including Mundka, Rohini and Wazirpur, recorded ‘severe’ air quality, while in 25 other areas the air pollution level was in the ‘very poor’ category. The level of PM2.5 (particles in the air with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometre) was recorded at 200 and the PM10 level was recorded at 351, it said. In NCR, Ghaziabad, Faridabad and Noida recorded ‘very poor’ air quality while Gurgaon recorded moderate air quality, CPCB data showed.
New Delhi, Nov 30 (PTI): Supreme Court Secretary General Ravindra Maithani was appointed a judge of the Uttarakhand High Court Friday, along with two others. Harnaresh Singh Gill, whose name was pending with the government for two-and-a-half years, was also appointed as an additional judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Sources in the government said Gill’s appointment came days after the Supreme Court collegium had asked the government not to keep its recommendations pending and said it should decide either way by appointing the candidate or returning the recommendation. Gill’s name was recommended by the Punjab and Haryana High Court collegium in June 2016 and his name was cleared by the Supreme Court Collegium in April, 2017. A Law Ministry notification said Narayan Singh Dhanik, Ramesh Chandra Khulbe and Maithani were appointed as judges of the Uttarakhand High Court. Their names were recommended by the Supreme Court collegium earlier this month. Another notification announced the appointment of Gill as an additional judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
Azharuddin named Telangana Congress working president New Delhi, Nov 30 (PTI): Former Congress MP Mohammed Azharuddin was Friday appointed working president of the party in Telangana days ahead of assembly elections in the southern state. Congress President Rahul Gandhi also cleared some fresh appointments in the Telangana Pradesh Congress, approving the names of two vice presidents - B M Vinod Kumar and Jaffer Javed, eight new general secretaries and four secretaries in the state unit. “Congress president Rahul Gandhi has approved the appointment of Mohammed Azharuddin, ex-MP, as working president of the Telanagana Pradesh Congress Committee,” a statement from AICC general secretary Ashok Gehlot said. Azharuddin was a former captain of the Indian cricket team. His cricket career came to an abrupt end when he was implicated in the infamous match-fixing scandal in 2000 and was banned by the BCCI for life. However, the Andhra Pradesh High Court in 2012 declared the life ban on him as illegal. Azharuddin was an MP from Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh in 2009, after he joined the Congress in the same year. He again unsuccessfully contested the 2014 election from Rajasthan’s Tonk-Sawai Madhopur

Telangana goes to polls on December 7 and the Congress has forged an alliance with the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) in the state to oust the K Chandrasekhar Rao-led Government of Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS). The Congress chief also appointed former Delhi MP Sandeep Dikshit as Secretary of AICC and attached him to the AICC Civic and Social Outreach Congress.

Pune, Nov 30 (IANS): Amidst the bonhomie over the Kartarpur corridor, Army chief Bipin Rawat on Friday made some political comments saying Pakistan has turned into an “Islamic State” and should become a secular state if India and Pakistan have to “stay together”. Reacting to Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s comment on Wednesday that if India takes one step his country will take two steps, Gen Rawat said Pakistan should take some action to curb terrorism and till then talks and terror cannot go together. “Pakistan will have to look at its current position. They have turned their state into an Islamic state. Now, if they have to stay together with India, then they have to develop as a secular state. “How can we stay together if you say you are an Islamic State. And there is no role for anyone else. We are a secular state. So to stay together we have to become secular. If they are willing to become secular like us, then I think there is some opportunity,” he said said on the sidelines of the passing out parade of cadets at the National

ISL: Bengaluru FC beat Pune 2-1
Bengaluru, Nov 30 (Agencies): Bengaluru FC extended their lead at the top of the Indian Super League (ISL) table as they beat FC Pune City 2-1 on Friday at the Shree Kanteerava Stadium, Bengaluru. Udanta Singh (11’) scored a blinder of a goal to give Bengaluru the lead which was cancelled out by Rahul Bheke’s (15’) own goal. Bheke undid his earlier mistake by scoring a late winner in the 88th minute. Bengaluru had two changes in the starting lineup that beat Delhi Dynamos with Dimas Delgado and Erik Paartalu coming on for injured Rino Anto and Albert Serran. Rahul Bheke shifted to the centreback position and Harmanjot Khabra returned to the right-back position, allowing Paartalu to take up the central midfield role. Pune made quite a few changes to the team that went down to NorthEast United. Iain Hume, Sahil Panwar and Gurtej Singh made way for Marko Stankovic, Martin Diaz and Lalchhuanmawia Fanai. The visitors started on the front-foot and attacked through Marcelinho and Aashique Kuruniyan on the flanks but it was Bengaluru who created and converted the first real chance. Khabra did well to keep Delgado’s cross-field

ball in play and pass it to Udanta Singh, who drifted inwards and curled it into the far corner in the 11th minute. Pune restored parity in the 15th minute after a quick break saw Stankovic direct a low cross to the centre of the box. Bheke’s attempt to keep Robin Singh from getting to the ball backfired and the 27year-old ended up sliding the ball into his own net. It was all Bengaluru for the remainder of the first half but the league leaders failed to convert
their chances. Chencho Gyeltshen came close to scoring on three occasions but was denied by Kamaljit Singh. The visitors were dangerous on the set-pieces but failed to test Gurpreet Singh Sandhu. The hosts were close to restoring the lead at the stroke of half-time but Paartalu’s shot from distance which followed Chhetri cushioning the ball after a quick break rattled the crossbar. The first clear-cut chance of the second half came in the 70th minute
when Udanta’s shot hit the frame of the goal. The hosts thereafter created a host of chances but were not clinical enough upfront. Rahul Bheke scored a late winner from Khabra’s cross which was initially dealt with by Kamaljit landed in front of the right-back for him to tap it home. Bengalur u now have 22 points from eight matches while Pune City continue to remain at the bottom half of the league table with five points from 10 matches.

March -April,” Das said at the Star Sports India Football Forum 2018 organised by SportzPower. Das gave the information when he asked what has the AIFF done to change the football culture in India. The AIFF and the local organising committee for the FIFA U-17 World Cup India 2017, with the support of the Centre, had last year initiated the Mission XI programme to bring at least 11 million school children to play the game in the run-up to the World Cup. Noting that their experience under the Mission XI Million in Uttar Pradesh (UP) was good, Das hinted that the schools league could focus on the northern state. “Actually our experience with Mission XI Million in UP was very very good, so may be we will focus the school league in
either Lucknow or one of the (UP) cities to start off and lets see how it goes, informed Das. However, Das did not elaborate on the details about the new project. The AIFF general secretary shared the work done by the federation to take the sport to nook and corners of the country. “Three years back we started the U-15 league and two years back we started the U-13 league and these are national leagues. So now we have U-13, U-15 and U-18 youth leagues. The number of teams has increased signifi-
cantly from about 50 teams three years back to 280 team (now). So, in that sense, we are trying to broad-base football,” Das said. “We have a team from Kashmir playing in the ILeague this year and the response of the fans is fantastic. We have also started the baby leagues (between) age groups 6-12 and they have got 99 leagues registered with AIFF and the numbers will grow,” he added. At the event, different stake-holders debated on various topics related to Indian football and the road ahead for it.

is now on UNESCO’s UK shakes up Eurovision Reggae ‘Cultural Heritage’ list entry selection process
R SuRie was chosen to represent the UK this year via a combined public and jury vote.
A
s British politicians debate the country’s future relationship with the EU, another vital question about the UK’s role in Europe is being addressed - how it chooses a Eurovision entrant. The BBC has announced it will overhaul the selection process for next year. Three songs will each be performed in two different styles by two different artists, with one act from each pair going through to a final public vote. Last year, SuRie came 24th out of 26 and had to deal with a stage invader. She had been chosen to
represent the UK via a combined public and jury vote. This time, an international jury will choose the three songs and then give viewers a choice of different ways they could be performed, before the vote to pick the winner. Eurovision: You Decide will be screened in February on BBC Two, live from Salford, hosted by Mel Giedroyc and Måns Zelmerlöw, who won the contest for Sweden in 2015. The eventual victor will represent their nation in the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv, Israel, on 18 May. Netta won the event this
year for Israel. Eurovision: You Decide’s executive producer Mel Balac said: “Our exciting ‘euro-version’ format will give fans the chance to compare and contrast these fantastic songs in a fresh, new way and deliver the United Kingdom the artist it deserves to fly the flag out in Tel Aviv.” Kate Phillips, BBC controller of entertainment commissioning, added: “We may be leaving the EU but we are still determined to win Eurovision again one day!” The UK has not won Eurovision since 1997, and has not finished in the top 10 since 2009.

eggae music has been inscribed on the prized intangible cultural heritage list of UNESCO, the U.N.’s cultural agency. UNESCO said Thursday the Jamaican music is unique because it represents “a vehicle of social commentary” and “continues to provide a voice for all” since it was first created by marginalized groups, mainly in the western part of Jamaica’s capital of Kingston. It said the music — which combines Caribbean,
Bob Marley-Raggae
Latin and North American influences — provides a “cathartic experience” when played and it is also used as a means of praising God. The intangible heritage list aims to improve the visibility of non-physical traditions and know-how of communities around the world. UNESCO committees are holding their latest round of heritage inscriptions in the Mauritius capital of Port Louis through Saturday.
Can’t watch any of my films: Shekhar Kapur Veteran filmmaker Shekhar Kapur says he cannot watch any film he has directed because then he can only see what he could have done better. “ I h ave n o t s e e n ‘Masoom’ since I made it!

The filmmaker is known for directing films like “Masoom”, “Mr. India”, “Bandit Queen”, “Elizabeth” and “Elizabeth: The Golden Age”. Kapur is known for his works in Hindi and international cinema. He is known in Bollywood for his recurring role in the TV series “Khandan” in the mid-1980s and his directorial debut in the cult Bollywood film “Masoom” in 1983 and then “Mr. India”. (IANS)

Miss Singapore to wear dress honoring Trump-Kim handshake was bringing out the message tastefully through design. I had to consider the political sensitivities and what it all meant to Singapore and to the world community… without (creating) any misinterpretation,” he told the paper. “And as the summit was about making peace, it was only natural to go with the world peace theme.” Though the June summit took place in Singapore, some residents weren’t sure how a dress featuring the flags of North Korea and the United States represented their country — and posted disapproving comments on Twitter. But the 24-year-old pageant contestant, a sociology graduate from the National University of Singapore, said the dress “represents something we all need, which is to promote a sense of unity and friendship, rather than hatred and anger.” The contest will take place December 17 in Bangkok, Thailand.

The hosts doubled the lead on 37 minutes when Cesc Fabregas played a splendid pass in behind for Giroud, who swept home first-time on the volley.

Arsenal beat Vorskla Poltava 3-0
Arsenal routed Vorskla Poltava 3-0 to remain undefeated in its 2018-2019 Europa League campaign and clinch the first place in Group E. The London team, which had already secured a berth in the knockout stage of Europe’s secondtier club competition and fielded several members of its UEFA reserve squad, opened the scoring at NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium on Thursday with a goal by Emile Smith-Rowe in the 10th minute, reports Efe news. That score was set up by a give-and-go involving Welsh midfielder Aaron Ramsey and a tenacious
Eddie Nketiah. A Vorskla defender’s attempt to clear the ball out of the area sent it straight to Smith-Rowe, who finished from close range. Ramsey then doubled the Gunners’ lead at the 27-minute mark when he converted a penalty attempt, while Joe Willock made it 3-0 four minutes before first-half stoppage time with a strike from just outside the penalty box past net minder Bohdan Shust. Arsenal (13 points) is three points clear of second-placed Sporting Lisbon in Group E with one round-robin match remaining on Dec. 13, although the London club has already clinched the first place based on points in its two head-to-head matches against the Portuguese-league side.
