World condemns Kashmir terror attack

NEW DELHI, FEB 15 (IANS): The international community has strongly condemned the terror attack by the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) in Jammu and Kashmir that killed 45 CRPF personnel, with US President Donald Trump asking Pakistan to “end immediately” the support and safe haven provided to all terrorist groups operating on its soil.

“The US calls on Pakistan to end immediately the support and safe haven provided to all terrorist groups operating on its soil, whose only goal is to sow chaos, violence and terror in the region. This attack only strengthens our resolve to bolster counter-terrorism cooperation and coordination between the US and India,” Trump’s Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement.

China’s Foreign Ministry on Friday also denounced the attack, hoping that “relevant regional countries will cooperate to cope with the threat of terrorism and jointly uphold regional peace and stability”.

It added that the “JeM has been included in the

AFF Peren alleges misuse of relief fund DIMAPUR, FEB 15 (NPN): Alleging embezzlement of 2017-2018 disaster relief fund, the Aggrieved Farmers Forum (AFF) New Jalukie Village has served a five-day ultimatum on the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), Peren to immediately arrest and take legal action to those staff involved in the misuse of disaster fund within five days.

In an ultimatum addressed to the chairman DDMA Peren, the AFF convener Liangkebo and secretary Saipingmakbo said the fund was purely sanctioned for the affected disaster management purpose. However, they alleged that the fund could not reach the targeted genuine farmer beneficiaries due to the involvement of “some insincere and corrupted staffs”.

AFF stated that for many years the ignorant farmers were given assurances that the disaster relief fund would be provided, but those assurances never materialized. Therefore, AFF New Jalukie village urged the responsible authority to take action against those involved, failing which the forum has warned to take its own course of action and the authority would bear responsible if any untoward incident happened.

This is it!

NPF demands debate over CAB in NLA DIMAPUR, FEB 15 (NPN): NPF has dismissed the accusations levelled against it

by NDPP on the issue of inclusion of Dimapur in ILP regime, besides demanding a debate in Nagaland Legislative Assembly (NLA) over Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB), rather than “resorting to cheap rhetoric”.

In a rejoinder, the opposition party termed the allegation against NPF Legislature Party chief TR Zeliang as “absurd, immature and childlike”.

NPF asked NDPP as to who had served a full five-year-term as State home minister before becoming chief minister of the State for 11 years. It said Neiphiu Rio had reigned for a longer period of time than Zeliang, who was chief minister for a mere three-and-a-half years amidst “endless turmoil” allegedly created by Rio for wanting to stay relevant in State politics.

The opposition party

reminded the ruling party of the adage “Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.”

On NPF’s allegation that Rio was “directed” to remain silent by his party on CAB when he was Lok Sabha member, the opposition party asked him who in NPF had given him such a directive. And rather than spewing more lies and beating around the bush while trying to wriggle out of the mess which Rio had created in handling CAB, NPF said it would do him and his party good to apologise for the “short-sightedness” and putting the existence of the indigenous Nagas on sale just so that he could cling on to his chair.

The opposition party also termed NDPP’s claim of being “consistent” in its stand vis-à-vis CAB as the greatest joke that any political party could come up with. It referred to the cabinet decisions of June

5, 2018, January 7 and 18, 2019 and finally the U-turn to oppose CAB on January 28 due to the fear of getting alienated from other Northeastern political parties to point out how inconsistent had been the ruling party’s stand on the issue.

NPF further termed the charges levelled against it by NDPP for not attending the consultative meet on January 31 as preposterous when it claimed to have already made it clear that a consultative meet after all the decisions were unilaterally and arbitrarily taken by the State cabinet was nothing more than an attempt to save face.

Suggesting a crash course in functioning of Parliament for the NDPP MP, the opposition party said to claim that important issues like CAB and matters relating to Nagaland were not listed initially was the “pinnacle of baloney”.

The Kashmir Police on February 8 had sent an intelligence input to the CRPF, BSF, ITBP, SSB, Army and the Air Force warning of a possible IED attack, according to a letter written by the state police Inspector General.

It is not known why despite the early warning, the CRPF allowed its 78vehicle convoy carrying 2,547 security personnel to go from the transit camp in Jammu to Srinagar -- a 270km stretch.

Marked as “Extremely Urgent”, the letter accessed

by IANS was sent on behalf of the IGP, Kashmir, informing all security agencies to “sanitize areas properly before occupying your place or deployment as there are inputs that IEDs could be used”.

DIMAPUR, FEB 15 (NPN): All Nagaland District Ministerial Service Association (ANDMSA) has served a 30-day deadline on the government to come up with a clear-cut policy on its demands.

In an ultimatum addressed to the state chief secretary, the ANDMSA president V Peter Rutsa, vice president Temjentenzuk and general secretary T Limhachan Kithan said the state government had constituted committee for comprehensive examination of its various demands.

They said the committee was supposed to submit the report within two months, but the association was still waiting for the response.

The association lamented that the state government has taken no tangible decision even after a lapse of 10 months on the demand of the association.

ANDMSA, therefore, cautioned that government’s failure to meet its demands within stipulated period, the association would be compelled to take its own course of action, for which the association would not be held responsible.

DIMAPUR, FEB 15 (NPN): Search Committee for new team of Naga Hoho (NH) has appealed to all “fair-minded” Nagas, who were concerned about the common welfare, to support and cooperate with its effort to save and strengthen NH in order to pursue the “unfinished task of making Nagas as one Naga for a higher goal.”

In a statement, search committee convener TN Mannen, member Niketu Iralu, member Dr P Ngully, member Kho John and member secretary Inavi Swu said they accepted the assignment to try searching for a new team not as the representative of their respective tribe but as an individual member of the Naga community.

The committee said members of the new NH team would not be only knowledgeable but among the Naga best mind to lead the hoho’s destiny keeping

the delicate balancing of different interest groups.

They said the new team should be one that think, believe and act beyond the prejudices of individual tribal interest for the benefit of larger common welfare and goal. “We intend to suggest the new team after wider consultation with the stakeholders mainly the tribal HoHos,” the committee members said and called upon all the Nagas to “climb down from the mountain of pride to lift up the broken lives of those in the valley of despair.”

Expressing concern that Nagas today appeared to be undergoing a crisis of identity, the committee said for whatever reason today the nationalistic impulses and feeling of oneness and goodwill toward each other, which was strong in the past, was now waning giving way to tribalism, short-sighted conflict of interest and per-

sonal rivalries. They asserted that the Naga leaders began to identify more on the diversities and distinctive characteristic of each tribe rather than developing a common road map for all the Nagas to journey together toward a common future with understanding as visualised by pioneering leaders.

The committee members said it appeared that today the fatigue syndrome was setting in and the divisive tendency and intolerance towards each other has percolated into the entire fabric of Naga society.

Further, they said the Nagas were so divided in all spheres of life, whether in politics, in religion or in civil society. They said Nagas were drawing apart in the line of individual tribal hohos, regional grouping e.g. (ENPO, CNTC, TPO, UNC, Nagas of Nagaland and Outside etc).

He explained that the state government signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Coffee Board of India recently to boost the State’s economy through supplying coffee.

Tsulise also said that Churches in Nagaland have an important role to play. According to the DC, preaching from the pulpit and collecting from the congregation alone will not better the Church economy. He urged Churches to encourage people to venture into income generating activities.

He also urged the people to not only look for subsidies alone but take up coffee farming so that they may build for themselves a sustainable source of income.

District Project Officer (DPO) Longleng, Kughalu Chishi, in his welcome note advocated for use of improved technologies to increase yield.

He said that coffee production in Nagaland was still in its infancy even if it has been blessed with an ideal climate to yield the best quality coffee in the country. He therefore urged all stakeholders to nurture and grow the industry.

In the technical session, resource person Rongsenkoba Ao, inspector of the Land Resources department Longleng, spoke on

the principles of Coffee plantation and its management.

According to Rongsenkoba, there are two different species of Coffee -- Arabica and Robusta. He said Arabica grows well at altitudes, and requires gentle to moderate slopes.

It is less tolerant to pest and diseases. Robusta grows well in lower altitudes, in plain to gentle slopes and is more tolerant to pest and diseases.

He also explained that coffee is a permanent cultivation and can be grown under the shade of a tree or any other high rise plantation. He said in order to grow healthy coffee plants and for better yield, it is very important to pay attention to soil health.

Speaking about har-

vest, Rongsenkoba said that to maintain quality, aroma, brew thickness, taste, and acidity, the right kind of coffee beans have to be harvested in the right time adhering to proper suggested guidelines.

During the interactive session, many queries were raised by the participants which were clarified by the resource person. During the training, more than 50 people from 16 Churches under PBCA and well wishers were in attendance in the program which included a field demonstration and distribution of coffee seeds.

The program was chaired by N. Tialemba Phom, executive secretary, Phom Baptist Christian Association and invocation prayer was pronounced by Nganlang Phom, PBCA Longleng.

Entry-exit points to come up in Meghalaya: Conrad

Correspondent

Shillong, Feb 15: Chief Minister Conrad Sangma said that entryexit points will be set up to check the burgeoning influx of illegal immigrant issue in Meghalaya.

“We have finalized the location for setting up entryexit points in four to five areas where there is maximum flow of people. Hopefully in the next four months, we will be able to start work in East Jaintia Hills, Ri Bhoi, West Khasi Hills, North Garo Hills, West Garo Hills and it is at a stage where we can start the construction work at any time,” he told journalists.

Sangma said the government has almost completed permissions for the entry-exit point at Mendipathar Railway Station in North Garo Hills.

“Within a few days, the home minister and urban affairs minister will be visiting Mendipathar railway station. Advance steps have already been taken and the entry-exit point will be opened very soon in Men-

dipathar,” he said.

On the Inner Line Permit (ILP) demand, the Chief Minister said the government was open to explore all possible ideas to balance between the mechanism that is going to ensure that illegal immigration does not take place, but at same time ensure that the economy is not affected by negative impacts on tourism or any kind of investment.

“That balance has to be maintained, and the government has to be careful and take all aspects into consideration before putting in place a proper policy or a system,” he said.

Noting that Entry-exit point is the infrastructure and Inner Line Permit (ILP) is the mechanism, he said

the government needed to have a system and even if the ILP is in place, “how will you check if you do not have a system in place?” he asked. “.... the infrastructure will be put in and what will be the best mechanism to put into place which will balance out the concern for illegal immigration as well as the economy .... We are not close to any idea but that is where we would like to explore something which will suit our economy, suit our people and suit our state,” he said.

Asked if influx was still an issue after stalling the Citizenship Amendment Bill, Sangma said, “I agree that influx and illegal immigration are issues. It has been an issue and it will be an issue in the coming years too.

That is one of the reasons why the sentiments against the CAB were so strong and everybody is concerned about illegal immigration.

There is no right or wrong mechanism that we can put in place, but we can keep improving the system and keep tightening it.”

Two lynched in West Garo Hills, another injured S h i l lo n g, F eb 1 5 (PTI): Two persons were lynched by an angry mob in Meghalayas West Garo Hills district and another was critically injured, police said Friday.

The incident took place at Chanangpara village after the locals were alerted about the suspicious movement of the trio in their car, they said. A mob of over a 1000 people stopped the car and when they found weapons- a dagger and rods- inside the car trunk, the occupants of the car were fatally attacked leaving two of them dead and one seriously wounded, according to eyewitnesses.

While the victims ran to take shelter in the house of the Nokma (village chief), the crowd barged into the house and dragged them out before thrashing them.

One Mokibul Akond died on the spot while Mikseng Marak was declared brought dead at the Hospital, district Superintendent of Police M G R Kumar.

He said Akond had been charged in a kidnapping case earlier and police are now verifying if the other two also had any criminal antecedents.

IMPHAL, Feb 15: Manipur Congress on Friday alleged that the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016, which had not cleared the decks in Rajya Sabha, had been published in the official gazette of the Government of India.

Informing of this, former Manipur chief minister O Ibobi Singh produced a copy of the gazette notification of the Government of India before the media at a news conference held in Imphal’s Congress Bhavan.

“It shows that BJP-led NDA government was a firm commitment to amend the Act (Citizenship Act 1955),” he alleged.

Normally, the gazette notification has to be published after the President of

India gives his assent which is also to be done after clearing the desk by both the houses of the Parliament.

The rules of the amendment has to be framed only after the Bill gets the assent of the President, the former chief minister said alleging that by-passing all these procedures, the CAB had been published in the official gazette of the Government of India.

Singh reiterated the Congress’s firm stand on the Bill and said that CAB must be completely withdrawn.

Stating that the Congress will bring up the matter in the upcoming budget session of the state Assembly, due to commence from February 20, Ibobi demanded that the state Assembly pass a resolution demanding withdrawal of the Bill.

No evidence of sedition in AMU case: Aligarh SSP Lucknow, Feb 15 (AGENCIES): Two days after Uttar Pradesh Police booked 14 Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) students, including current and former office-bearers of the student’s union, on sedition charges, the police on Thursday said there is “no prime evidence regarding sedition in this case”.

The development comes after the police investigated video evidence and photographs.

Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha’s (BJYM) Aligarh unit president Mukesh Lodhi had alleged that slogans such as “Pakistan Zindabad” and “Bharat Murdabad” were raised on the campus on February 12.

But police said the allegation did not hold ground, and indicated the charges “may be dropped” on “further investigation”. BJYM is the youth wing of BJP. On Thursday, Aligarh SSP Aligarh Akash Kulhary told The Indian Express: “There is no prime evidence regarding sedition in this case. We have identified 17 people, of whom five are outsiders, involved in violence that took place on the

For all those reasons, the committee said the very survival of the Naga HoHo has now become a serious concern of all.

The voice of the Hoho, which was once considered as all the Naga collective legitimate voice and was widely respected not only in the national level but also at the global fora as well, was losing that recognition due to Naga people’s own folly, they said, adding that it was the duty of every Naga to redeem that status.

“And that is how we have conducted ourselves over CAB, unlike NDPP that was ever ready to do anything, to the extent of selling out the rights of Nagas for the sake of continuing in power,” the party added.

LS polls: AIADMK set for tie-up with BJP

CHENNAI, Feb 15 (AGENCIES): The AIADMK and the BJP almost finalised an electoral deal for the Lok Sabha polls in Tamil Nadu after late night talks between Union Minister Piyush Goyal and two state ministers, but they are yet to reach an agreement on seat-sharing. “We are seeking 10 of the 39 seats in Tamil Nadu, but the AIADMK is willing to give six. The deal should be done in a couple of days,” a senior BJP leader told NDTV. An AIADMK leader explained why they were reluctant to agree to the BJP’s demand.

“We told them clearly that things will only work to the DMK’s advantage if the BJP is given more seats,” he said.

Sources said the AIADMK is holding talks with former BJP partners - including the Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) and Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) - on an individual basis instead of as a BJP-led group. It is also negotiating with former Union Minister GK Vasan’s Tamil Maanila Congress.

A formal announcement is expected to be made in a few days. All the allies may come together on a single stage at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Kanyakumari rally on March 1.

In the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, late AIADMK chief J Jayalalithaa had taken on PM Modi - then the BJP’s candidate for the top position - by terming it as a “Modi vs Lady Battle”.

Her party swept the polls, win-

AIADMK leaders O Paneerselvam and KC Palanisamy. (File) ning 37 of the state’s 39 seats with a vote share of 44.3%. The BJP alliance won just two seats.

However, following her death, a weakened AIADMK leadership under O Panneerselvam and E Palaniswamy became worried about a split in votes due to challenges posed by the ousted TTV Dinakaran and the VK Sasikala-led Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam. It is in this scenario that the ruling party - which had been opposing any alliance with the BJP until recently - made a U-turn.

A senior AIADMK leader said that his party softened its stand in view of the recent “pro-poor” Union budget.

The DMK-led alliance had won all 39 seats with 57.4% vote share in the 2004 parliamentary elections, leaving the then AIADMK-BJP tie-up with nothing.

Many in the AIADMK

fear that tying up with the BJP, which has negligible presence in the state, could backfire because it has an “anti-Tamil Nadu” image. “This is a gamble. The BJP-led alliance did not win even a single seat in the 2016 assembly election, and the vote share of the DMDK and PMK has dwindled,” a party leader said.

However, State Fisheries Minister D Jayakumar pointed at how Jayalalithaa had inked an alliance with the BJP in 1998.

“Yesterday’s situation is different, today’s situation is different and tomorrow’s situation will be different too,” he said.

The alliance offers the BJP a chance to break new ground in the state by riding piggyback on the AIADMK, besides giving it a pre-poll advantage of getting the President’s invitation to form the government in case of a hung assembly.

Terror and politics

I

ndia’s restraint to Pakistani terror attacks has reached the limit after the cowardly Pulwama terror attack that killed at least 45 CRPF jawans on Thursday (February 14). The suicide bomber rammed the SUV, packed with over 300 kgs of plastic explosives on to a bus carrying CRPF jawans. The attack has been billed as the biggest terror attack in the past five years. Indian media has exploded in anger and not unexpectedly, raved and ranted with anchorpersons vowing that India will hit back hard and fast. Even as anger in India spreads, the TV channels have only led to pushing blind rage into an outpouring that could possibly force the government to ask the Army for a revenge attack. That could only be playing into the hands of the Pakistanis. Be that as it may, the issue of terrorism launched and abetted from across the international border is a serious matter. The latest terror act in Pulwama has shown that the matter has gone beyond tolerance. Pakistan has used cowardly terror tactics to wage a bloody war with India over Kashmir. Some in the Indian media, especially certain unrestrained and imbalanced anchorpersons have assumed for themselves, the role of accuser, judge and executioner. The roles of such anchorpersons has led to such a situation that one’s patriotism is being measured by the vitriol of venom mouthed against Pakistan. Since 2014 when the Modi government came to power on a landslide, the tenor of hope for improved bilateral relations soon gave way to outright hostility. In a way, the hatred against Pakistan, quite played along the lines adopted by some of the electronic media, supposedly enjoying good will and influence with the government.

Being the bigger and more powerful neighbour, India has been trying to promote peace and goodwill with Pakistan. However, it has not fully succeeded mainly because the real power lay in the hands of the Pakistani military which runs by default. The Pakistani elites, mostly western educated and wealthy, have played the game in order to retain their hold over the country. The war mongering in India and mostly in the media, has only given a handle to the terrorists and their handlers in Pakistan, to continue with their cowardly attacks.

This is reflected in the reports that there has been a 176% increase in terror incidents in J&K after the Modi government came to power in 2014. The data recently released by the Ministry of Home Affairs shows that between 2014 and 2018, there has been a 93 per rise in the number of security personnel killed in terrorist incidents in Jammu and Kashmir. The number of security personnel killed in terrorist violence has increased 72% from 111 in the last three years of UPA-II to 191 in the BJP’s first three years, an IndiaSpend analysis of data compiled by the South Asia Terrorism Portal (SATP), run by New Delhi-based non-profit Institute for Conflict Management, shows. The Modi government should realise that it is not the only nationalistic and patriotic political party and should restraint from trying to show it alone cares for the uniformed personnel. Instead, the government should ensure that the military remains independent, apolitical and secular so that the officers and men are not exploited for politics.

DailyDevotion

“Am I My Brother’s Keeper?”

None of us lives to himself… —Romans 14:7 Has it ever dawned on you that you are responsible spiritually to God for other people? For instance, if I allow any turning away from God in my private life, everyone around me suffers. We “sit together in the heavenly places…” (Ephesians 2:6). “If one member suffers, all the members suffer with it…” (1 Corinthians 12:26). If you allow physical selfishness, mental carelessness, moral insensitivity, or spiritual weakness, everyone in contact with you will suffer.

But you ask, “Who is sufficient to be able to live up to such a lofty standard?” “Our sufficiency is from God…” and God alone (2 Corinthians 3:5).

“You shall be witnesses to Me…” (Acts 1:8).

How many of us are willing to spend every bit of our nervous, mental, moral, and spiritual energy for Jesus Christ? That is what God means when He uses the word witness. But it takes time, so be patient with yourself. Why has God left us on the earth? Is it simply to be saved and sanctified? No, it is to be at work in service to Him. Am I willing to be broken bread and poured-out wine for Him? Am I willing to be of no value to this age or this life except for one purpose and one alone— to be used to disciple men and women to the Lord Jesus Christ. My life of service to God is the way I say “thank you” to Him for His inexpressibly wonderful salvation. Remember, it is quite possible for God to set any of us aside if we refuse to be of service to Him— “…lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified” (1 Corinthians 9:27).

Post-mortem

A coalition again at the centre this summer?

I

f the opinion polls are to be believed, India is heading for another period of coalitions.

The reason is that the next general election is expected to produce a “hung” Parliament, where neither of the two major contenders - the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its opponents - will be able to secure a majority.

Conventional wisdom also points in that direction because it is difficult to believe that a ruling party which is palpably far less popular than what it was even a couple of years ago will be able to repeat its performance of 2014.

Neither will the combine led by it - the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) - because the erosion of the government’s popularity will drag down its allies as well.

If the NDA cannot cross the halfway mark of 272 seats in Parliament, neither will its opponents - not even collectively, let alone singly.

For a start, their hope of fielding one candidate from among them against the BJP in every constituency has been dashed by their failure to act unitedly in several states.

For instance, the Congress could not align with the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) in any of the three recent assembly elections.

Nor was it possible for the Samajwadi Party-BSP combine to reach an understanding with the Congress

for the 80 parliamentary seats in UP. These rifts show that the opposition will approach the general election as a divided house in nearly all the states except perhaps in Maharashtra, where the Congress has reached an understanding with the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) for the state’s 48 parliamentary seats.

The BJP will expect this disarray among its adversaries to benefit it, but the NDA’s own condition doesn’t give much hope.

For one, some of its allies like the Telugu Desam and the Rashtriya Lok Samta Party have already walked into the opposition camp.

For another, the BJP had to bend over backwards to keep restive partners like the Janata Dal (United) and the Lok Janashakti Party in tow. They will become even more assertive if the NDA doesn’t get a majority and the BJP becomes more dependent on them.

For a third, there is still no certainty that the BJP and the Shiv Sena will end their constant bickering and fight the elections together.

What these r uptures within the two opposing sides suggest is how difficult it will be for them to forge a viable unity after the elections in the event of their falling short of a majority.

True, India hasn’t been a stranger to coalitions either

at the centre or in the states.

Ever since the diminution of the Congress’s pre-eminent position from the 1960s, coalitions have been the order of the day.

Some of them. like the Left Democratic Front and the United Democratic Front in Kerala have succeeded in maintaining their unity and rule effectively, usually in alternate five-year terms.

The centre, too, saw successful coalitions in the post1990 scenario with Atal Behari Vajpayee’s mammoth 24-party alliance providing a sterling example of togetherness.

Will a fractured mandate throw up a similar example of bonhomie or will it revive the worst fears about ruling alliances with each constituent constantly sniping at the others?

The BJP’s current propaganda is based on depicting such a scenario about its successors with the party chief, Amit Shah, saying that the scene will be so chaotic that each day of the week will see a new Prime Minister.

Among these claimants will be Rahul Gandhi, whose name has already been proposed by Karnataka Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy and the DMK president, M.K. Stalin.

Conjectures in the political grapevine have mentioned Mamata Banerjee and Mayawati as the two others. But much will depend on how

Choosing the right career!

C

hoosing a career is probably one of the toughest decisions you will need to make because there are a number of intrinsic factors that many people seldom deal with. What Legacy would you want to leave behind and which career option gives you the best opportunity to do what you want to do? How do you want to contribute to your society? Choosing what to study at college and university is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make as a young person. So how do you decide what’s right for you? Should you follow your heart and study something you’re really passionate about, regardless of where it might lead you, or should you instead opt for a degree with a more secure career route? While Choosing a career students can be mainly confused for two reasons: one, you have too much information and you aren’t sure to choose which one is the best alternative. Secondly, you don’t have any information at all, so you don’t know what options are available for you.

There are many graduates and students in Nagaland who aren’t really sure about what they want to do in Life. There are either confused about their career goals or they aren’t sure because they are told by the parents to pursue what their parents want them to, without asking their children opinion (period) Things aren’t simple as before. In contemporary world there are an oceans of opportunity.

All we have to do is explore. One of the reason why young people seem so confused about choosing their career path could be because they just haven’t tried out many things as yet. It could possibly also be because nothing much are available in the market other than the Government Job. The conventional and the traditional belief that only a Government Job can provide a secure and stable profession in Nagaland could be another Mental Block for the young people. Two important aspects while choosing a career can be suggested. First is AWARENESS. Knowing the challenges, prospect, Education, Learning, skills, positivity in the profession you choose is of paramount. Second is SELF ASSESMENT. Self introspection and learning about oneself as much as you can is another way to find the right career path. After you understand a particular profession you should try to ask yourself and figure it out if that profession is good for you and whether are you good at that or not? Whatever you choose be sure that it is congruent to who you are. Be brutally honest with yourself about who you are and make choices that supports that. The worst thing you can do is make decisions based on what other people want for you to think you would be perfect for. That be-

ing said, it is important that you understand your interests, your positive attributes, the situation of your market etc. Your priorities and circumstances are all likely to change as you get older so don’t get too fixated on having a single career. Be adaptable, be flexible and be honest to yourself. Growing up I wanted to become a musician, a footballer, a social activist and a civil service aspirants. I was a confused child. Later on fast forward I realized I am not good with music nor with football and didn’t became an administrator either.

Does that mean I have no hopes in LIFE? Suppose after 10 +2 you try for Medical and Engineering exam however you couldn’t clear JEE, NEET, MBBS, BDS. Does that mean your Career is over?

You may fail in your first attempt but just don’t give up if that’s what your call is. There are many people who cleared competitive exam after trying for the umpteen times. Consistency, hard work, determination, self discipline and many other factors contributed to their success. Most importantly they learn from the past mistakes, rectify and turn those areas of concern into an area of improvement or opportunity.

On the contrary, despite multiple attempts if you don’t see any level of improvement maybe something is wrong. Maybe you are not meant for that particular job. Maybe its about time you do a reality check and take another route.

If you look at the core skills and the job contents of Civil service or other competitive exam, They are centered around people management, problem solving strategy, Analytical thinking, Negotiation skills, Diplomacy, administration, client handling etc. Even if you cannot get into Civil services, Medical or Engineering there are many other things you can do that would engage similar skills and have similar job content. You can still try state civil services, CLAT, commercial Pilot, NDA, Fashion Designing, Animation and multi Media, Banking services, Hotel Management, MBA, Mass communication, Retail, Cruise line, Bpo, Aviation, nursing, Teaching, business etc. Try and Focus on what you like to do and what you are good at. Look around for the professions that would allow you to express those skills and interests.

Talk to people, career counselors and seniors who are in those professions and see if you really understand what it takes to be in that profession. By steadily gaining skills and improving on those skills would be the path to slowly bridge the gap between what you want to be and actually becoming that.

many seats their parties will get.

One of the reasons why the West Bengal Chief Minister wants her party to contest not only the 42 seats in the state, but also venture into 14 other states is to shore up her party’s numbers, especially in view of the serious challenge which she is facing from the BJP in West Bengal.

Similarly, Mayawati’s decision to field her candidates in 38 seats in UP is based on the need for numbers. She is also likely to set up candidates in several other states as well.

Even as the BJP draws some satisfaction from the generally self-serving strategies of the PM wannabes in the “secular” camp, there is also speculation about the BJP’s future if it fails to get a majority - notwithstanding its slogan of “abki baar, 400 par” - since questions are bound to rise about Narendra Modi’s continuance as the PM if only because the entire responsibility for a setback will be attributed to him even more than to his Man Friday, Amit Shah. It is in this context that some of Union Minister Nitin Gadkari’s kinder, gentler comments have been interpreted as an attempt to position himself as a successor who can get along with the allies.

There will be a scramble, therefore, for partners - cutting across party lines - if there is a “hung” Parliament.

Happiness in Bihar

have read an article “Happiness in Bihar” in the sentinel published simultaneously from Guwahati, Dibrugarh, Shillong and Itanagar dated 19th June 2018 which is reproduced below :“The Bihar Government remain gung-ho over Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s crusade against liquor, with two recent studies suggesting that the ban has turned the State into “a land of milk and honey”. There has been a 17.5 increase in the consumption of milk products in 2016-17 compared to previous year, claims the Development Management Institute (DMI), Patna in a study. The figures are far more spectacular for cheese, with sales soaring by 200 percent, and honey sales rocketing to 380 percent increased.

So does this mean erstwhile tipplers are shelling out good money to gorge on lassi, cheese, and honey? The DMI study claims the diversion of money from liquor has also jacked up saree sales by 1,715 percent, vehicular sales by 30 percent and entertainment tax collection by 29 percent.

Meanwhile, a study by Patna based Asian Development Research Institute has claimed that the liquor ban has helped pull down crime rates, with kidnapping for ransom down by 66.6 percent, murder by 28.3 percent and dacoity by 22.8 percent. Having published both studies in the latest economic survey of the State, the Bihar Government is reportedly mulling a crackdown next on gutkha and khaini sales, mindful how such tobacco products have become major causes of mouth cancer. So despite naysayers warning of bootlegging, smuggling and corruption as the ‘gifts’ of liquor, Nitish Kumar appears undeterred from pursuing ‘happyness’ for his peoples.”

I myself after reading thoroughly, the above article my mind was struggling like anything.

Look? Bihar is a Hindu dominated State but Hon’ble Chief Minister Nitish Kumar could easily ban liquor and makes the people Happy in Bihar whereas, Nagaland is a Christian dominated State why our Hon’ble Chief Minister Neiphio Rio cannot do something to ban liquor in the State and makes the people happy in Nagaland like in Bihar.

How migrants are encouraged

t present time, Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) has become the most debated topic among the political parties, civic bodies and the student bodies at large. Through daily newspapers, we find political parties and civic bodies coming together at an understanding in opposition to CAB, and by doing so, has addressed an issue of great magnitude. Before CAB became an issue of public interest an increase in the arrival of innumerable non-locals in Nagaland, especially in two major cities Dimapur and Kohima at an alarming rate makes one to ponder on the possibility that perhaps the situation will only worsen with time? The question to the influx of non-locals in our land needs some thorough analysis.

Some Nagas are buying means of transport like taxi, mini bus and Tata vehicles for the non-locals to do business on the one hand, and at the same time enabling them to earn their livelihood and thereby, living with us and among us. They are availing driving license from the Regional Transport Department on the recommendation of the vehicle owners and few public leaders. Many things can be written in this regard but comprehensible to all if the reasons are discussed in brief. Non-local taxi drivers are responsible for bringing non-locals to Kohima town. On roads in police check posts, the Policemen are unable to identify those without Inner Line Permit (ILP) license. Because the non-locals are aware of their nature, they are bribing them to allow them passage to Kohima.

Once they reach Kohima Town, they are given room to rent by the house owners and enabling them to avail ILP license and business

permit from the D.C. Office. On top of that non-locals are also offered business outlets by the house owners. As a result, the non-locals are now controlling the whole business markets in Kohima town. Out of the 100% business markets, 80% could be in hands of the non-locals. Imagine, this a shameful thing for the local people .

Therefore, as long as houses are built by the land owners in Kohima non-locals will continue to come more to our land. Similarly, their business markets would increase. In this way, times are radically changing. Naga menfolk living with non-local womenfolk is less but the more non-locals lives with us, Naga womenfolk living with non-local menfolk would increase significantly. If this continues, a time will come when it will be difficult to control the population growth on nonlocals in Nagaland.

At present, the member of student scholars is increasing and the government cannot guarantee employment to all, therefore, some have to do business but all opportunities are being given away to all non-locals. The government prohibits giving employment to non-locals but house owners are giving away business opportunities to the non-locals. In this regards, students and public are not all concerned. Both are only interested in opposing the government actions.

Political parties are playing blame games with regard to CAB but it is not going to help in solving the issue of influx of non-locals in Nagaland. The government might pass a resolution to nullify CAB but the public is not in a position to worry about the non-locals. This is a great evil that is challenging the society.

We need not necessarily chased the non-locals away from our land but if their residence and business markets are not provided, then how can they stay? Students bodies have chased away the non-locals without ILP license for some years ago but to do so now, would only invite mockery. Can you provide shelter to the non-locals and allow your children to extend their support in opposition to the presence of the non-locals? Dear friends, think about it. To abuse the presence of non-locals in our land it might be good if the civic bodies frame a law for house owners with regard to giving rent to non-locals.

Because the very fact that there is an influx of non-locals in our land largely depends on the house owners. They are overtaking both places-residential and business markets. Ironically, this has become the burden of the state government and Naga society.

There is a possibility that your children having completed their studies are unable to get government jobs and are sitting idle at home whereas, you are giving away your business properties as employment avenues to the non-locals and your children are working under them or interacting with them. Therefore, if business opportunities are shared among the locals (Nagas) themselves and not with the non-locals, it would benefit business proprietor as well as the society. Yes, the influx of non-locals in Nagaland poses a great threat to the Nagas but the reality is that a group of individuals are responsible for this threat and the public is left to confront it. Therefore, it is not meant to be looked up, but meant to be changed by the Public.

Reader’s Post

Sir,

Appeal to management of Zion Hospital and Research Centre

At the very outset, allow me to thank you and your team of doctors for the excellent health services that the hospital have been rendering to the needly both within and outside the state. Kindly pardon me for airing my concern through the press media which I felt was necessary to bring to your kind notice and also to create awareness among the mass. I have one major safety concern which has been disturbing my mind for quite a long time. It is well known that NEHR is an earthquake zone which has been hit by major earthquakes in the past years. In the light of the above, it is observed that by 9 PM, all exit point/doors are shut locked and only the main entrance towards the OPD is opened. It takes about and minute or so to reach the main entrance from the other wing of the building which houses the patients in wards and cabins. This will be very serious safety negligence on the part of the management if an earthquake of high magnitude is to happen in the near future where each second’s counts. I am sure that there will be a reason for keeping the doors locked but I believe that the safety and lives of the people is more precious and important than any other. Therefore, may I request you to kindly take necessary measures to keep the exit points open, in case of emergency so as to ensure the safety of all present in the hospital. I am sure that with this step (if taken), a major catastrophe may be avoided.

India vows to isolate Pak, ends ‘most favoured nation’ status

NEW DELHI, FEB 15 (AGENCIES): Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley after the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) meeting said, “Ministry of External Affairs will initiate all possible diplomatic steps which are to be taken to ensure the complete isolation from the international community of Pakistan of which incontrovertible is available of having a direct hand in this act.”

“The ‘most favoured nation’ status which was granted to Pakistan, stands withdrawn. People who are responsible and have supported this act of terrorism will have to pay a heavy price for it,” he added. Home Minister Rajnath Singh said, “The attack was carried out

by Pakistan-backed Jaish-e-

Mohammed. A strong reply will be given and I assure the people of the country this.

The country pays tribute to the brave jawans who were martyred.” Describing the terror assault as an attack on India’s soul, Congress president Rahul Gandhi said his party as well as the entire opposition was fully supportive of the government and the security forces.

Those responsible will pay very heavy price: PM Modi

families awaiting the bodies of their loved ones in coffins wrapped in the tricolour.

Security forces will be given a free hand to deal with terrorists, the Prime Minister said, a day after 44 CRPF soldiers were killed when a suicide bomber rammed a vehicle laden with explosives into their bus in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district.

“I want to tell the terror outfits and those aiding and abetting them that they have made a big mistake. They will have to pay a very heavy price for their actions. Let me assure the nation that those behind this attack, the perpetrators of this attack will be punished,” Modi said at a function to flag off Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Defence Minister Nirmala leave after attending a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security(CCS) to discuss the security scenario in Jammu the Vande Bharat Express, and Kashmir in the wake of the Pulwama terror attack, at PM’s residence in New Delhi India’s fastest train from on Friday.

7 Kejriwal cancels govt events after suicide bombing

New Delhi, Feb 15 (IANS): Extending support to the Central government and the armed forces, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal on Friday cancelled all public programmes of the Delhi government as a mark of respect to the CRPF personnel killed in a suicide bombing in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama.

The AAP also held a gathering at its office here to pay homage to the CRPF personnel and Kejriwal also went to the airport to pay respects to the troopers.

In a message condemning Thursday’s terror attack,

Kejriwal said: “Our brave CRPF brothers have lost their lives in a brutal and cowardly attack by terrorists. Entire country is in grief and there is tremendous anger among the people on this highly condemnable and cowardly act.

“We salute the martyrs and we stand firmly with their families. The government and people of Delhi are fully with the Central government at this hour and we support whatever action the Central government and our armed forces deem fit. We are ready for any cooperation to deal with this dastardly attack.”

CCTVs installed in 170 police stations; Delhi Police tells HC New Delhi, Feb 15 (IANS): The city police on Friday told the Delhi High Court that installation of CCTVs has been completed in 170 police stations of the national capital.

Lawyer Rahul Mehra, representing the police, told a bench headed by Justice S. Ravindra Bhat that “the installation and commissioning of CCTV camera systems has been completed in 170 police stations”.

The bench asked the Delhi Police to submit a certificate of an independent agency concerned mentioning whether the CCTVs are functional or not.

The Delhi Police’s submission came while apprising the status of the installation and commissioning of CCTVs at its 182 police stations and 53 police posts. The court was hearing a public interest litigation initiated after the December 2012 gangrape with social activist Ajay Gautam seeking installation of CCTVs at police stations to ensure transparency.

On proper implementation, it has the potential to bring about good governance which is an integral part of any vibrant democracy.

Attaining good governance is also one of the visions of the Constitution. It also has vital connection with the development.”

Pointing to the “definite link between right to information and good governance”, the court said good governance requires greater transparency in functioning of public authorities, informed citizenry, improvement in accountability and performance of the government; and reduction in corruption in government departments. Underlining the link between right to information and good governance, the court said well before RTI Act was enacted in 2005, the top court had repeatedly emphasised the people’s right to information to be a facet of Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution that guarantees right to speech and Article 21 guaranteeing right to life and liberty.

New Delhi, Feb 15 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Friday said information commissioners, both at the Centre and in states, under the Right to Information Act should also be appointed from other streams of society and not limited to serving or retired bureaucrats.

A bench of Justice A.K. Sikri and Justice S.

They should not be limited to “serving or retired government employees.”

The entire appointment process must be transparent with terms and conditions of appointment specified in the advertisement inviting applications, it said. Speaking for the bench, Justice Sikri said, “This (RTI) Act is enacted not only to sub-serve and ensure freedom of speech.

Mumbai, Feb 15 (PTI): The rupee slipped by 7 paise to close at 71.23 against the US dollar Friday, pressured by heavy foreign capital outflows and firming oil prices.

This is the third straight session of loss for the domestic currency, during which it has depreciated by 53 paise.

On a weekly-basis, the rupee registered a loss of 8 paise.

At the Interbank Foreign Exchange (forex) market, the rupee opened lower at 71.22 and fell further to touch the day’s low of 71.44.

The local unit covered some lost ground, before finally ending at 71.23 per dollar, down by 7 paise against its previous close.

On Thursday, the rupee had tumbled 36 paise to close at 71.16 per US dollar.

Forex traders said heavy selling in domestic equities coupled with foreign capital outflows affected the movement of the rupee.

court came on an appeal filed by the Centre against a Delhi High Court order allowing two persons, to file their ITRs for 2018-19 without linking their Aadhaar and PAN numbers.

A bench comprising Justices A K Sikri and S Abdul Nazeer said the top court has already decided the matter and upheld the section 139AA of the Income Tax Act. The apex court on September 26 last year had declared the Centre’s flagship Aadhaar scheme as constitutionally valid but struck down some of its provisions including its linking with bank accounts, mobile phones and school admissions.

Mumbai, Feb 15 (PTI): The country’s foreign exchange reserves declined by USD 2.119 billion to USD 398.122 billion in the week to February 8, due to fall in foreign currency assets, according to the RBI data.

In the previous week, the reserves had surged by USD 2.063 billion to USD 400.24 billion.

In the reporting week, foreign currency assets, a major component of the overall reserves, fell by USD 2.448 billion to USD 370.981 billion.

Expressed in US dollars, foreign currency assets include the effect of appreciation or depreciation of non-US currencies such as the euro, pound and yen held in the reserves. The reserves had touched a record high of USD 426.028 billion in the week to April 13, 2018. Since then, the forex kitty has been on a slide and is now down by over USD 31 billion.

Gold reserves remained unchanged at USD 22.686 billion in the reporting week, the data showed.

New Delhi, Feb 15 (PTI): The CBDT has stressed that Aadhaar-PAN linking is “mandatory” for those filing an Income Tax Return (ITR) and this procedure has to be “completed”

by March 31 this year.

“Constitutional validity of Aadhaar has been upheld by the Supreme Court of India in September, 2018. Consequently, in terms of Section 139AA of Income Tax Act, 1961 and order dated June 30, 2018 of the Central Board of Direct Taxes, Aadhaar-PAN linking is mandatory now which has to be completed till March 31, 2019 by PAN holders requiring filing of ITR,” the CBDT said in an advisory Thursday.

The Supreme Court on February 6 had confirmed that linkage of PAN with Aadhaar is mandatory for filing of ITRs. This reiteration of the September order of the apex

cards with biometric ID Aadhaar.

He had said the I-T Department has so far issued 42 crore permanent account numbers (PAN), of which 23 crore have been linked with Aadhaar.

Chandra said that once Aadhaar is linked with PAN and PAN is linked with bank account, the I-T department can find out spending pattern and other details of the assessee. Also since many agencies are linked with Aadhaar, it would be easier to gauge whether the benefits of welfare schemes are availed by eligible persons, he said.

Section 139 AA (2) of the Income Tax Act says that every person having PAN as on July 1, 2017, and eligible to obtain Aadhaar, must intimate his Aadhaar number to tax authorities.

While Aadhaar is issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) to a resident of India, PAN is a 10-digit alphanumeric number allotted by the IT Department to a person, firm or entity. The CBDT formulates policy for the tax department.

Brexit: May suffers fresh Commons defeat

The PM crashed to defeat in a crunch vote on her EU plan by 303 to 258 after furious Conservative Eurosceptics declared they would abstain.

London/ Brussels, Feb 15 (IANS/Agencies): UK Prime Minister Theresa May has suffered another significant defeat in the House of Commons over Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union, dealing a blow to her hopes of uniting the Conservatives around a renegotiated Brexit deal.

May failed to win support for her EU strategy after the pro-Brexit European Research Group (ERG), led by Jacob Rees-Mogg, abstained on a government motion on Thursday because it appeared to rule out a no-deal Brexit, the Guardian reported.

The defeat marked the end of a temporary truce over Brexit among Con-

servative MPs, who had voted last month in favour of May’s strategy if she could get concessions from Brussels on the issue of the Northern Ireland backstop.

MPs voted by 303 to 258 - a majority of 45 against a motion endorsing the government’s negotiating strategy.

The defeat has no legal force and Downing Street said it would not change the Prime Minister’s approach to talks with the EU. May had earlier assured European negotiators that she could get a majority for a revised Brexit plan, if they made some concessions. But this latest show of disunity from lawmakers and rebellion from within her own party, appeared

to confirm suspicions that legislators cannot come together around any plan they could accept.

Opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn urged May to “admit her Brexit strategy has failed” and to come forward with a plan Parliament would support.

The voting figures showed it was not just hardline Brexiteers that failed to support the government - a number of Tory Remainers also declined to vote - as more than a fifth of the party in the Commons failed to back the government.

Five Conservative MPs - Brexiteers Peter Bone, Sir Christopher Chope, Philip Hollobone and Anne Marie Morris, and the pro-Remain

Sarah Wollaston - even voted with Labour against the motion.

Downing Street blamed Corbyn for the defeat, saying he had “yet again put partisan considerations ahead of the national interest” by voting against the government’s motion.

No. 10 had earlier warned that defeat could damage May’s negotiating position as she seeks to make changes to the controversial backstop “insurance policy” in her deal to avoid customs checks between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

Also, a Scottish National Party amendment, backed by the Liberal Democrats and calling for Britain’s departure from the EU on March 29 to be delayed by three months, was defeated by 93 votes to 315 after most Labour MPs abstained.

Deputy Chairman Steve Baker of pro-Brexit group ERG told the BBC that they still supported efforts to get “alternative arrangements” to replace the controversial Irish backstop plan, describing May’s defeat as a “storm in a teacup”.

In Brussels, diplomats said the result showed that the Prime Minister was incapable of commanding the support of her party on key votes and that she needed to work cross-party. “No one can take any good from this,” said one diplomat.

New Brexit talks in Brussels next week

Both Britain’s minister for Brexit Stephen Barclay and opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn will visit Brussels next week for talks with EU negotiator Michel Barnier, AFP reported.

“Mr Barnier’s door is always open,” an EU spokesman said, confirming that Barclay was expected to visit EU headquarters on Monday and Corbyn on Thursday.

Prime Minister Theresa May is also expected in Brussels next week, but he visit has not been confirmed.

Britain is due to leave the EU on March 29, but Prime Minister Theresa May is struggling to persuade parliament to back a divorce deal.

EU leaders fear severe economic disruption if London leaves the bloc without a follow on agreement providing for a transition period to negotiate a trade deal.

Corbyn has suggested Labour MPs would rescue the withdrawal plan if EU leaders promise to allow Britain to remain in the EU customs union.

May and many of her Conservative MPs reject that idea, but Barnier and EU Council President Donald Tusk have described it as “interesting”.

Trump declares emergency to fund Mexico border wall

WASHINGTON, Feb 15 (Agencies): US President Donald Trump on Friday formally declared a national emergency to bankroll his border wall by bypassing Congress and averting a second bruising government shutdown.

But the move set up a fresh round of clashes with Congress over the constitutionality of his actions and threatened to divide his own party.

His decision to sign a US$333 billion (S$453 billion) border security and spending Bill to keep the government open was announced by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on the Senate floor on Thursday and confirmed by White House press secretary Sarah Sanders.

Soon after, the Senate and House passed the legislation, which includes US$1.37 billion for new fencing along parts of the United States-Mexico border – about a quarter of the US$5.7 billion Mr Trump sought for a concrete wall or steel barriers.

Mr Trump then signed off on the legislation on Friday morning.

In a televised an nouncement, Mr Trump said he was signing the declaration to protect the US from the flow of drugs, criminals and illegal immigrants coming across the southwestern border from Mexico.

The declaration will enable Mr Trump to divert US$3.6 billion budgeted for military construction projects to the border wall, officials said.

Mr Trump will also use budgetary discretion to tap US$2.5 billion from counter-narcotics programmes and US$600 million from a Treasury Department asset forfeiture fund.

Added with the US$1.375 billion authorised for fencing in a spending package passed by Congress, Mr Trump would then have about US$8 billion in all for the wall.

Democrat leaders signalled that they would move to block Mr Trump on his declaration, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi telling reporters on Thursday they were considering filing a legal challenge.

The Democrats, who control the House, also said they would pass a resolution to end the national emergency, which would force the Republican-controlled Senate to vote on whether

to do so. The move would put Republican senators in a bind by forcing them to choose between publicly backing a controversial decision and losing moderate votes at the ballot box while setting a risky precedent, and opposing a President from their party at the cost of his supporters’ ire.

Republicans, who had spent the past few weeks advising against declaring an emergency, were publicly divided.

Some publicly fretted that the move undermined Congress by going over its head and veered towards presidential overreach. Others backed the President.

“I’m not in favour of operating government by national emergency,” said Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky. “We have a government that has a Constitution, that has a division of power, and revenue raising and spending power was given to Congress.”

National emergencies are neither unusual nor always controversial in US politics, and 58 have been declared by presidents since 1976.

Immediate past president Barack Obama declared 13, and since a s s u m i n g o f f i c e, M r Trump has declared three international affairs-related emergencies which slapped sanctions on foreign actors from Myanmar, Russia and Nicaragua.

25 countries pledge $100 mn aid to Venezuela: US

WASHINGTON, Feb 15 (Agencies): Twentyfive countries have pledged $100 million in aid to crisishit Venezuela, US national security advisor John Bolton announced Thursday following an Organization of American States conference on assisting the crisis-hit country, AFP reported.

“Today, 25 countries, united at the OAS-hosted Conference on Humanitar-

ian Assistance in Support of Venezuela pledged $100 million in humanitarian assistance,” Bolton tweeted.

According to David Smolanksy, coordinator of an OAS working group on migration and refugees from Venezuela, the money will go directly to aid collection centers set up on the borders with Colombia and Brazil and on the Caribbean island of Curazao.

At the opening of the

Virat Kohli

KL Rahul

New Delhi, Feb 15 (Agencies): The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the Indian squads for T20I and ODI series against Australia respectively on Friday. Skipper Virat Kohli returns after being rested for the final two ODIs and T20I series against New Zealand.

Lokesh Rahul has also found a place in the respective squads after missing out on the New Zealand tour due to off-field infractions. Rahul fought his way back after a couple of good innings for India A against England Lions in the two unofficial Tests, which concluded hours before the national selection committee met here.

Battling indifferent form in Australia, Rahul was called back after the unsavoury comments on women in a TV talk show, following which he was asked to regain his form by concentrating on domestic cricket.

Young Mumbai Indians’ spinner Mayank Markande has been called-up for the two-match T20I series. The 21-year-old Markande was rewarded soon after his five-wicket haul, which powered India A to an innings and 68-run victory over England Lions in the second unofficial Test.

Rishabh Pant has also returned in the ODI squad after missing out in New Zealand. The omission of Dinesh Karthik is an indicator as to who among Rishabh Pant and the Tamil Nadu player will board the Heathrow-bound flight as a specialist-batsmancum-second-wicketkeeper for the World Cup. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been rested for the T20Is and Umesh Yadav has been called up in his place. India’s premier fastbowler Jasprit Bumrah has also been named in both the squads after being rested for the limited overs series in Australia and New Zealand.

Madrid, Feb 15 (Agencies): Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde has agreed a one-year contract extension until the end of the 2019-20 season, with an option for a further year.

Va l ve r d e f o r m a l ly signed his new contract at the Nou Camp on Friday to end the speculation surrounding his future.

Valverde replaced Luis Enrique as manager in 2017 and guided Barcelona to the La Liga and Copa del Rey double in his first season in charge. The Catalan club are on course to defend their league title and are currently six points clear of rivals Real Madrid in La Liga, with 15 games remaining in the season.

Barcelona are also through to the last 16 of the Champions League and will face Lyon in the first leg in France on Tuesday.

Despite his impressive domestic record, Valverde has faced criticism from some sections of Barcelona’s support.

Earlier this season the former Valencia and Athletic Bilbao boss had admitted he did not know if he would remain at the Nou Camp for the 2019-20 campaign.

It was being speculated that Rohit Sharma might be rested but he retains his place in both T20I and ODIs squads respectively.

The T20Is will be played on February 24 and February 27 in Visakhapatnam and Bengaluru, respectively, followed by the ODI series starting in Hyderabad on March 2.

Nagpur will host the second match on March 5, while Ranchi and Mohali will host the third and fourth games on March 8 and March 10, respectively.

The final match will be played at the Ferozeshah Kotla here on March 13.

Squads: 1st and 2nd ODI: Virat Kohli (Capt), Rohit Sharma (vc), Shikhar Dhawan, Ambati Rayudu, Kedar Jadhav, MS Dhoni (WK), Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohamed Shami, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Vijay Shankar, Rishabh Pant, Siddharth Kaul, KL Rahul.

Simeone renews Atletico contract MADRID, Feb 15 (Agencies): Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone has renewed his contract until 2022, the club said on Thursday in a video posted on social media, meaning the Argentine is set to complete a decade in charge of the La Liga side.

“I would like to thank all the directors and all the fans of Atletico Madrid for their support in the continuity of this project,” Simeone said in the video.

“We look forward to the project continuing until 2022 with a lot of excitement, knowing that big challenges await us.” Simeone, 48, who spent two separate spells at Atletico as a player, took over as coach in December 2011 with the club hovering above the relegation zone and transformed them into one of the top sides in Europe.

Simeone has won seven trophies with Atletico, including two Europa League titles, one Copa del Rey and one La Liga title, and has taken them to two Champions League finals, losing in 2014 and 2016 to Real Madrid.

UEFA stood by the decision to chalk off the goal but questions were raised over the time it took to reach a verdict, with the restart delayed by nearly three minutes.

Rosetti promised to look into improving the system’s efficiency.

“The most important thing is that the referee took the right decision. Accuracy is more important than speed,” Rosetti added.

“We have to take into account that this was a very complex situation where the VAR had to check two possible offside situations and the referee also had to consider the interference of the attacking player.”

But Malmo did grab the goal their efforts deserved in the 80th minute, as Anders Christiansen slotted past Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

BATE stun Arsenal 1-0

Ross Barkley celebrates with Chelsea team-mates after scoring a goal during their Europa League match against Malmo.

Paris, Feb 15 (Agencies): Chelsea claimed a 2-1 victory at Malmo in the Europa League last-32 first leg to ease some of the pressure on beleaguered coach Maurizio Sarr.

Visitors Chelsea desperately needed a response after back-to-back humiliating away losses, with last Sunday’s 6-0 thrashing by Manchester City following a 4-0 reverse at Bournemouth.

Ross Barkley took advantage of a defensive lapse by the home team to put Chelsea ahead on the half-hour mark, with Olivier Giroud adding a 58th-minute second before Malmo’s late goal gave them a glimmer of hope ahead of next week’s return match at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea face Manchester United in the FA Cup on Monday, before

facing City again in the League Cup final on February 24.

“I am happy because we played with confidence and it wasn’t really very easy after the last match (the defeat by City),” Sarri told BT Sport.

“I think I am always confident but sometimes we had the wrong approach with matches so we need to be careful in every match.”

Sarri named a strong team, although he did leave Gonzalo Higuain and Eden Hazard on the bench.

Chelsea found themselves up against a spirited Malmo outfit in the first half, roared on by a vociferous home crowd, but kept the Swedes at arm’s length before Barkley grabbed their first away goal of 2019.

Pedro swung over a

cross which Lasse Nielsen should have headed away, but the defender failed with his attempted volleyed clearance and Barkley was on hand to control and stab into the net.

Uwe Rosler’s Malmo piled on the pressure at the end of the half, but Barkley twice produced crucial headers at the other end to keep Chelsea in front.

But the Premier League giants took total control of the tie in the 58th minute with a wonderful counter-attack.

Barkley led the charge before picking out Willian, and the Brazilian powered to the byline before cutting the ball back for Giroud to flick in a cool back-heeled finish.

The French striker has now scored five goals in six Europa League games this season, despite only net-

Belarusian club BATE Borisov stunned English Premier League side Arsenal 1-0 in the first-leg, round-of-32 action in the Europa League.

A r se na l , who e njoyed a 22-match unbeaten stretch across all competitions between mid-August and mid-December, have been shaky since that streak was snapped in a loss to Southampton on December 16 and on Thursday suffered one of their worst defeats of the season at Borisov Arena.

The Belarusian side notched up the lone goal of the match toward the end of the first half when Stanislaw Drahun headed home a cross by Ihar Stasevich in a set piece.

Arsenal’s attack was stymied throughout the match and the situation became more dire when French striker Alexandre Lacazette was sent off for throwing an elbow at Aleksandar Filipovic in the 85th minute.

Arsenal are still alive in the Europa League, Europe’s secondary club competition, but now will need a strong showing in the February 21 second leg at Emirates Stadium in London.

Chile join bid for 2030 WC

S a n t i ag o, F e b 1 5 (Agencies): Chile will join Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay to make a joint South American bid to host the 2030 World Cup. Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay had initially announced their plan for a joint bid back in 2017, but Chile’s president Sebastian Pinera said on Thursday that his country have agreed to join the bid.

“A few months ago I proposed to the presidents of Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay to incorporate Chile, and jointly, to apply for 2030. They agreed to present their joint candidacy to organise the 2030 World Cup,” Pinera tweeted.

Chile last hosted the World Cup in 1962 while the tournament’s most recent visit to South America came in 2014 in Brazil.

The national football associations of England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland met last week to discuss putting in a potential bid for the 2030 competition.

At the end of 2018, the British government said it would back a joint bid to host the 2030 World Cup in the UK and Ireland.

Meanwhile, Bulgaria, Greece and Romania and Serbia are also coming together to make a joint bid to host the 2030 tournament.

Elsewhere, Spain and Portugal are considering a joint intercontinental bid with Morocco, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez revealed in November.

ISL: Kerala beat Chennaiyin FC 3-0

Kerala Blasters players celebrate after scoring against Chennaiyin FC on Friday.

Kochi, Feb 15 (Agencies): Kerala Blasters FC notched only their second win of the Hero Indian Super League season after a comprehensive 3-0 win over rivals Chennaiyin FC at the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium, Kochi on Friday.

Matej Poplatnik scored a brace (23’, 55’) to put Kerala Blasters in the driving seat and young midfielder Sahal Abdul Samad finished things off in the 71st minute to score his first ever ISL goal and end his team’s 14game winless run.

Chennaiyin on the other hand see their nightmare season continue after their 12th loss of the season.

They are rooted to the bottom spot with eight points from 16 games, while Kerala have climbed to the eighth spot.

The visitors never really got going and were on the backfoot right from the start. Chennaiyin custodian Karanjit Singh was called into action twice early in the game as Kerala im-

posed themselves. Slavisa Stojanovic’s shot from the edge of the box was saved

by Karanjit and he had to be alert to block the followup effort from Poplatnik as well.

But Kerala did make their early dominance count by taking the lead in the 23rd minute. Courage Pekuson’s low cross into the box could only be deflected towards Poplatnik by Karanjit and the striker gleefully headed home into an empty net.

John Gregory’s side could not gain a foothold into the match and looked woefully out of rhythm in the attacking third. As the half wore on, Kerala could have doubled their lead as Karanjit was forced into two fine saves from Pekuson and Seiminlen Doungel’s efforts.

The story remained pretty much the same in the second half as well and the second goal came 10 minutes later. Len Doungel initiated a quick counter-attack and fed Sahal down the

right wing. The midfielder squared a pass into the box which was not dealt with at all by the Chennaiyin defenders. Stojanovic got to it and found Poplatnik who lashed a shot home.

That goal was a blow Chennaiyin FC never recovered from. It did not help that Christopher Herd, who was injured in the build-up to Kerala’s goal, had to be substituted.

The home team continued to call the shots and soon got the third in the 71st minute. Again, Samad started the attack with a run from inside his own half.

The Chenanaiyin defenders stood off him and could not clear the ball after Samad’s attempted one-two with Doungel did not come off.

Sahal carried on his run to latch on to the loose ball and lift a finish over the onrushing Karanjit.

Chennaiyin did push forward a bit in order to notch a consolation goal but Kerala saw them off with consummate ease.

LAUSANNE, Feb 15 (Agencies): North Korea and South Korea are interested in a joint march at the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics as well as fielding some unified teams in different sports, the president of the International Olympic Committee said on Friday.

South and North Korean officials met with the

IOC in Lausanne, buoyed by the role the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics played in easing tensions between the two countries.

The two nations had marched together at the opening ceremony in Pyeongchang for the first time since the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin. They had also fielded a unified women’s ice hockey team.

“Following the bilateral conversations we had yesterday, we are taking note that both are very much interested in having some joined actions in the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 with a joined march and some unified teams in different sports,” IOC President Thomas Bach said at the start of the meeting.

Among the points of discussion at the Lausanne meeting was a potential 2032 Summer Olympics joint bid by North and South Korea, and Bach said both countries had expressed interest in proceeding.

“We think this is a great symbol of the Olympic spirit. It is a great symbol again of the unifying power of the Olympic Games,” Bach said.

Relations between the nations greatly improved last year, with South Korean President Moon Jae-in meeting his North Korean counterpart Kim Jong Un at three different summits.

Guwahati, Feb 15 (PTI): P V Sindhu and Saina Nehwal won their respective semifinals in contrasting fashion to set up a mouthwatering women’s singles summit showdown at the 83rd Yonex-Sunrise Senior National Championship here Saturday.

In a repeat of last edition’s title clash at Nagpur, the two stalwarts will look to outdo each other and write another chapter in their onfield rivalry.

While Sindhu overcame a challenge from Assam’s promising 19-yearold Ashmita Chaliha 21-10 22-20 in the first semifinal, Saina got the better of Nagpur qualifier Vaishnavi Bhale, who was part of India’s Uber Cup squad last year, 21-15 21-14 to storm into the finals.

Saina had the last laugh against Sindhu in the last two encounters at the Nagpur Nationals in 2017 and the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games gold-medal match last year.

the title in 2006, 2007 and 2018, Sindhu clinched the trophy twice, in 2011 and 2013. “It will be just another match and I don’t think it will help me for All England, I will just look to focus and give my best,” Sindhu said about the final.

Two-time former champion Sourabh Varma, 26, too sealed his spot in the men’s singles final after beating Mumbai’s Kaushal Dharmamer 21-14 21-17 in 44 minutes.

Earlier in the day, former champions Saina,

Kashyap and Sourabh advanced to the semifinals with contrasting wins.

The three-time former champion Saina hardly broke a sweat to get the better of former India No 1 Neha Pandit of Mumbai 21-10, 21-10 in a lop-sided quarter-final contest.

Kashyap, a 2012 winner, prevailed 21-18 21-16 over Bodhit Joshi, who had reached the finals of Iceland International last year.

Both Saina and Kashyap had played their pre-quarterfinal match on Thurs-

day night at the newly-laid wooden court of the TRP Indoor Stadium after refusing to play at the Assam Badminton Academy courts due to “uneven” surface.

Former World No. 30 Verma, who had clinched Super 100 titles at Russia Open and Dutch Open last year, eked out a hard-fought 21-11 21-23 21-18 win over B Sai Praneeth.

Verma grabbed seven straight points from 14-17 down in the decider against former Singapore Open champion Sai Praneeth in

the quarter-finals.

In the other semi-final matches of the day, Rohan Kapoor and Kuhoo Garg lived up to their reputation as the top seeds in mixed doubles. The World No. 46 pair needed only 32 minutes to dispatch Vighnesh Devlekar and Harika V 21-15, 21-16 to enter the final.

They will take on the unseeded combine of Manu Attri and Maneesha K, who continued their rampage with a fine 21-18, 21-17 victory over Shlok Ramchandran and Mithula UK.
