NEW DELHI, JAN 15 (AGENCIES): Top security officials of the country have sought a feedback from the northeastern states and other stakeholders on safety implications of the land border crossing agreement with Myanmar, given the fear Rohingya refugees may take advantage to cross over this side of 1600 km-long fence, an Economic Times (ET) Bureau report stated.

The issue came up in sub-group meetings at the IB’s annual conference of DGPs and IGPs held at the BSF Academy at Tekanpur in Madhya Pradesh over two days from January 7.

The conference was attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union home minister Rajnath Singh, NSA Ajit Doval and other heads of paramilitary and intelligence organisa-

tions.

Government sources aware of the developments during the brainstorming session told ET on conditions of anonymity that security implications of liberal regime to facilitate cross-border movement and economic activity was discussed post union Cabinet’s January 3 decision.

The enabling agreement, cleared by the Cabinet, will regularise and harmonize existing free movement rights for people residing in bordering areas of both the neighbours. Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh in northeast border Myanmar.

Though paramilitary Assam Rifles have been instructed to heighten its vigil along the porous border, some of the bordering

states, including Mizoram, have sought a more effective mechanism to allay Rohingyas infiltration fears.

A top police officer based in north-east said security scenario ahead of assembly elections in Meghalaya, Tripura and Nagaland, and National Register of Citizens (NRC) released in Assam also came up for assessment.

The centre was made aware that peace could be held ransom to by vested interests, which are demanding a “solution” to complex Naga problem, around the time of assembly elections in the state.

The centre, however, seems to be satisfied with Assam government’s handling of release of first draft of the NRC without precipitating much law and order situation in the state.

DIMAPUR, JAN 15 (NPN): Reacting to the recent remarks made by Aboi District Demand Committee (ADDC) on the demand for Tobu district, the Tobu District Demand Committee (TDDC) Monday questioned the Aboi area leaders’ “antagonistic approach” towards the Tobu-Moka public’s demand. In a press release, TDDC co-conveners, Yangkon Konyak and S.B Poangba, said Tobu area leaders had never objected to the Aboi district demand as it was the democratic right of every citizen to place demands before the government.

The signatories pointed out that the demand for Tobu district was compelled due to development deficiency and lack of infrastructure.

Also, reacting to Aboi area leaders’ assertion that Aboi had all the necessary facilities to be a district, the TDDC said it was because Aboi area enjoyed developments and privileges in the name of the upper Konyaks, adding that “development never flowed beyond Aboi.”

Fur ther, TDDC described as a “paradox” the statement of ADDC that Aboi, which was just 32 kms away from Mon district HQ, fulfilled the criteria to become a district, but Tobu, which was more than 100 kms away with some villages as far away as 190 kms from Mon district HQ, did not fulfil the criteria. It stated that Tobu was located at the “geostrategic point” and was the nodal point in the Eastern part of Nagaland lying in the midst

of Myanmar, Khiamniungan, Changs, Phom and Konyaks.

The committee maintained that administrative headquarters at Tobu would be of immense importance to the state and the central governments from the national security and gover nance point of view.

Meanwhile, TDDC expressed surprise that Chang and Konyak issue, which was settled amicably with the exchange of daos and shawls between Changs and Konyaks through the joint effort of the tribal leaders of both the communities and the state government, was still pending before the leaders of Aboi area.

TDDC stated that Aboi area leaders should give an answer on the issue to the apex Konyak

Union and the government. It also expressed apprehension that the demand of district by Aboi on the basis of upper Konyaks and lower Konyaks would lead to division of the Konyak society.

TDDC said Tobu district demand was “purely for the development and administrative convenience of the public and people living beyond Aboi.” The committee expressed hope that the gover nment would take note of their demand and fulfil the “long cry and demand of the people of TobuMoka.” Meanwhile, the TDDC has notified the Tobu area leaders to remain in station till January 20, 2018 as an urgent public meeting would be held in connection with the antagonistic press release by the ADDC.

Twin blasts rock Imphal city

Correspondent

IMPHAL, Jan 15: Twin blasts rocked Imphal city Monday evening while Manipur Governor Dr. Najma Heptullah was meeting a group of members of parliament.

The blasts took place just 100 meters away from Raj Bhavan around 5.50 pm.

A sweeper, who was sweeping the streets nearby, sustained injury in the blasts. The sweeper identified as Yensembam Subita Devi (50) has been rushed to Rajmedicity Hospital, Imphal.

A police commando vehicle was also hit by splinters of the bomb.

A hand grenade lobbed towards the Army transit camp (M-Sector) exploded inside the camp which was followed explosion of an

IED planted on the road side. Eyewitness accounts said that an unidentified man hurled the hand grenade towards the transit camp and soon after he disappeared, the IED suddenly went off, hitting the woman sweeper and police vehicle.

Police officers including top ranks rushed to the spot and took stock of the situation after closing the road.

The impact of the IED blast was felt at Raj Bhavan where state Governor Dr Najma Heptulla was meeting with a group of members of parliament (MPs) visiting the state.

A delegation of 15member MPs led by convener of Department Related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Health and Family Welfare (sub-committee-1) Dr Manoj Rajo-

ria met the Governor this evening.

The blast was at a time when security measures have been beefed up ahead of Republic Day. Earlier in the morning, state police commandos conducted house to house search operation in Imphal’s Thangmeiband Sinam Leikai area.

Residents as well as individuals staying at rented houses were called out and verified. No suspect was picked during the search operation which was conducted as part of preventive measure being taken up ahead of the forthcoming Republic Day celebration.

Police have been conducting a random mopping operation at sensitive places across valley areas, particularly in Imphal and its outskirt since the last few days.

Courts under scanner

J

udges it is said, have to be above reproach and blameless in their dealings. This is an issue which the courts are being confronted with as illustrated in the case of the four seniormost Supreme Court judges firing off one salve after another at the Chief Justice of India(CJI) Dipak Misra. The four judges had hurled serious allegations against CJI Dipak Misra of manipulation of judge benches and also interference in certain cases. The so-called ‘rebellion’ in the Supreme Court more than anything, also exposes the inherent malady within the sanctum sanctorum of democracy. It is alright to say that this should not be repeated and therefore, all judges should sort out the problems within themselves and get back to work. .

Like Julius Ceasar’s wife, the Supreme Court of India has so far been above reproach and any criticism has always been tempered by a deep and abiding respect for it. However, the role of the judiciary has become crucial under the pressing demands of a society besot with contemporary and complex problems. The multiplication in the number of PILs filed in the courts is also exerts tremendous pressures on the judges. It is under such pressures that sometimes some judgements are held as totally biased and unfair. Then Chief Justice of India S.H.Kapadia had brought out in the open by speaking out what has been in the minds of countless people regarding the role and accountability of judges ; when he hit out at those corrupt judges sitting in judgments on others. This was indeed like a breath of fresh air after suffering from the psychological suffocation felt by a large section of not only intellectuals but even among many judges of impeccable reputation.

Justice Kapadia had also hit out against the current trend of judges deciding on the decisions of legislatures by asking them to desist against this tendency of weighing the wisdom of legislative bodies by acting as self-styled ‘super legislatures’. Even on matters of giving rational and frank assessment on the conduct of judges the chief justice said judges should also be subjected to public scrutiny and should be accountable. Corruption in Indian judiciary is also another very serious issue. More than 45% of Indians believe the judiciary is corrupt, a view shared by external assessments. In 2010, a former Law Minister declared that eight of sixteen former Chief Justices of India (CJI) were corrupt, and in 2014 a former Supreme Court judge alleged that three former CJIs made “improper compromises” to let a corrupt High Court judge continue in office. It may also be recalled that W.Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee had said the some court judgments were delivered for money. She also asked why were only politicians and executive made accountable for decisions or actions while judges were not made accountable:? The Mid-Day from New Delhi was hauled to court for reporting that two of Justice Y.K.Sabharwal’s sons, both partners in firms that build malls in Delhi, benefitted from the sealing orders issued by Justice Sabharwal when he was the CJI of the supreme court. Judicial reforms and willingness of judges to come under scrutiny will greatly help justice, truth and democracy. The four judges have created history by raising very crucial issues in public domain and in doing so, have challenged the judiciary to live up to expectations.

DailyDevotion Do You Walk In White?

We were buried with Him…that just as Christ was raised from the dead…even so we also should walk in newness of life. —Romans 6:4 No one experiences complete sanctification without going through a “white funeral” — the burial of the old life. If there has never been this crucial moment of change through death, sanctification will never be more than an elusive dream. There must be a “white funeral,” a death with only one resurrection— a resurrection into the life of Jesus Christ.

Nothing can defeat a life like this. It has oneness with God for only one purpose— to be a witness for Him. Have you really come to your last days? You have often come to them in your mind, but have you really experienced them? You cannot die or go to your funeral in a mood of excitement. Death means you stop being. You must agree with God and stop being the intensely striving kind of Christian you have been. We avoid the cemetery and continually refuse our own death. It will not happen by striving, but by yielding to death. It is dying— being “baptized into His death” (Romans 6:3).

Have you had your “white funeral,” or are you piously deceiving your own soul? Has there been a point in your life which you now mark as your last day? Is there a place in your life to which you go back in memory with humility and overwhelming gratitude, so that you can honestly proclaim, “Yes, it was then, at my ‘white funeral,’ that I made an agreement with God.” “This is the will of God, your sanctification…”

(1 Thessalonians 4:3). Once you truly realize this is God’s will, you will enter into the process of sanctification as a natural response. Are you willing to experience that “white funeral” now? Will you agree with Him that this is your last day on earth? The moment of agreement depends on you.

Quotes

Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live. ~ Jim Rohn

A

hundred years from now, if scientists have their way, many humans will be partly pig and baboon. I mean really, not metaphorically.

Scientists are working on transplanting entire hearts, liver, kidneys, pancreas and lungs from animals to humans. The increasing demand for organs, tissues, and cells, and the dearth of available human organs, have focused scientific interest in taking organs from animals . The term for the transplanting of organs from one species to another is called xenotransplantation and so far it has not worked at all. However entire corporations are at work, slicing and dicing animals so that one day humans can be part pig and part baboon.

The arguments, in favour of animal to human organ transplantation, is that these organs would be available whenever required, instead of making patients wait for months. An immediate transplantation would perhaps result in improved survival. Instead of waiting for a dead human, whose organs are already slightly damaged, the organs could be taken from healthy animals under anaesthesia.

The pig has become the animal of choice for most companies. Thousands of pigs are being killed to use in human bodies. But, before they get to humans, scientists first transplant their organs into the bodies of baboons to see if they can go into a different species.

Why baboons? Humans and baboons have 90 percent of their DNA in common, so the captive animal becomes a stand in for a human. Why pigs ?

Their organs are of the same size as humans.

Which is the ideal animal species for organ transplants. The animal should have the same sort of anatomy, so that the organ can function well in humans. He should not have any disease that can be transmitted to humans. He should be immune to human diseases. He should have no genes that affect human immune systems. He should be inexpensive to breed and keep and have lots of babies every year. And he should be an animal that humans don’t mind killing.

There is no such animal.

Primates may be somewhat alike in anatomy, but they give and get human infections easily. They don’t breed quick enough and humans ( except scientists) don’t like killing them.

The pig has large litters several times a year and is cheap to feed. The problem is that its blood and all its genetics are far too different. The pig is an entirely different species . It has been 80 million years since the pig and human diverged on the evolutionary scale.

Is it possible to “outwit evolution.”

Not so far. Millions of killed animals later scientists are no further along. The very basic aim – to replace a baboon’s heart with a pig heart – has still not been achieved.

Organ transplants fail because each mammalian species has a system and blood unique to itself and its immune system is built to reject foreign organs.

As soon as human blood is sent through pig organs, the antibodies in the human blood cells are activated against pig cells. Companies are working to add human thrombomodulin protein to pig cells to make them seem

Nagaland Post, Dimapur TUESDAY, JANUARY 16, 2018

For the benefit of humankind

more human, so that human cells are less likely to reject them. Through microinjection techniques, and in vitro fertilization, five human genes have been added to the pigs’ livers, kidneys and hearts.

The pig has a galactose oligosaccharide enzyme, Gal, which humans don’t.

When a pig organ or cells are transplanted into a human, this enzyme causes immediate rejection. Scientists have genetically created a pig that “almost” doesn’t have Gal. However, clinical testing has not finished. The genetically manipulated pigs are called GalSafe pigs.

Unfortunately for the scientists, pigs also have retroviruses in the genome of every porcine cell. These will inevitably be transferred with the donor tissues. This is a grave potential risk, as retroviruses don’t create illnesses in their natural hosts but are devastating to humans. The scientists have discovered a retrovirus in the pig called PERV. Research – published in the journal Science – shows that Perv can make their way from pigs into humans. Opponents of xenotransplantation fear that these viruses, when introduced into a human system, might cause epidemics of diseases for which we have no immunity and no cure.

L a r ge c o m m e r c i a l companies like eGenesis claim that they have removed these threatening

viruses from the animals’ DNA. They have cut out genes and blasted the rest to eradicate all Perv activity to make Perv free piglets.

Scientists say major obstacles remain. “Even if organs from these geneedited pigs could be safely used to overcome virus transmission, there remain formidable obstacles in overcoming immunological rejection and the physiological incompatibility of pig organs in humans.”

Experts in these fields worry that transgenic pig organs, whose organs are no longer completely porcine genetically, may be even more susceptible to viral infections. The humans that get these genetically modified organs would have to be on immunosuppressants for the rest of their lives. While xenotransplantation may theoretically increase the survival time, it is unclear whether the negative impact on the human’ quality of life would be worth it.

The risk of getting and transmitting disease to the recipient and to society cannot be accurately estimated.

What impact will it have on the human race, should a new zoonotic infection be introduced, for which we have no cure? Ebola and Aids have killed millions.

If, in the distant future, a pig organ is ever ready for use on a human, these questions arise: Should the members of a community therefore be

consulted if there were any xeno-transplantation donees in their region? Someone will go to court demanding that, in the greater interest of society a person with an animal organ in their body should be restricted from having physical relationships and socialising, to prevent the possible risk to the wider public from zoonosis. This may result into temporary detentions at home – something written into the contract before consenting to xenotransplantation.

How would a patient give an informed consent to the future restrictions of one’s liberty. Would he not challenge the legality of any such agreements later. They could reasonably argue that they have agreed to the restrictions under duress because of a lack of viable alternatives to xenotransplants.

Even if they were available, the treatment would be immensely expensive.

Production of a pathogen free donor organ would involve rearing animals in strictly controlled environments. This means huge costs in developing a sustainable work force to provide transplantation and post-transplant surveillance of the patient. Insurance providers may not cover expenses of a xenotransplant.

Public health care providers may decline to provide this treatment, as it may not be cost effective. Only the very rich will be able to afford it with serious implications for fairness. If public health authorities were to fund expensive interventions like xenotransplantation, other routine treatments of greater medical benefits to society may be jeopardised.

Religions like Islam and Judaism feel that pigs

are ‘ritually unclean’. They may therefore not approve of people who have pig organs. Would these recipients be socially acceptable?

The ethical view is that animals have rights similar to those considered appropriate for humans. Is the prolonged suffering, in the form of constant physical manipulation, isolation and death of an animal, moral?

Sheep that have been genetically modified to grow more wool are born blind with legs so weak that they cannot move. What are the physical consequences in a genetically modified pig .

Wouldn’t it be easier to find a way to grow human organs, rather than killing animals, or modifying them, to become more huma ?

Three-D technologies have come in. Meat cells have been successful multiplied to make non-animal meat hamburgers. Grow the person’s own organs and tissues and then use them for autotransplantation.

In this amazing world of ours, a human will eat and drink the wrong things, not exercise, abuse his body and spray pesticides everywhere. When his organs start failing he will look for women, poor people and now animals, to give him organs so that he can live to carouse some more.

I am totally against this massive slaughter that is going on in the name of scientists getting jobs and pretending to work for the benefit of human kind. Why not go into a brave new world without any moral barriers and raise humans for the purpose of harvesting their organs.

Post-mortem

The First Naga Day celebration: TISS Dear Nagas, is it change you want? Part- 3 T

T

ogether, we have the solution if you really want it. Read on......

Revolution happened twice in Mokokchung, 1981 being the first case where Sumi earlier settlers began to overindulge their individual liberty and their youngsters virtually ruled the streets, agonising the local citizens by beating and intimidation that continued unchallenged throughout seventies. The people of this Town tolerated but the explosion was in the making and in the fateful day of 1981 it blew up from a small fight between two boys inside a tailor’s shop. Citizens took this opportunity to revolt and Sumis were expelled ultimately.

The citizens of Mokokchung liberated themselves from tyranny!

Secondly, it happened to NSCN (K) on 24th August 2003.... where citizens had to revolt against the suppression once again in succession to gain freedom.

This is revolution! This happened when citizens said “NO” enough is enough. This same revolution can happen against this corruption if today’s concerned individuals could master our strengths to say at least “NO” to CORRUPTION and come together for once and experience the power of people. Here, we are not talking about the likes of French or Bolshevik revolution for no two revolutions are same.

If the peace accord could be concluded forcefully and the election is done away then the matter ends here, otherwise the stage is all set for election and our legislators are not wasting time though they appear to the public for “solution before election”.

Remember ? Little drops of water make a mighty ocean and we are much more than little drops of water. Therefore, citizens! concerned individuals! How long shall we sleep with this concern?

Are you getting sound sleep in this self inflicted, self abused society for not doing anything? Unless a concerned individuals like you comes out and join us making 1+2+3+++ no one will rescue us. DO NOT expect help from any organisations because they will not nor should we allow them to involve with us. This is our moment and we will have to do it ourselves by stepping out or miss the chance of a lifetime.

Believe in yourself, gather some courage my fellow citizens, this is

a grouping of single individuals like YOU and ME with a genuine concern for our society. A message to the many genuinely concerned individuals who are already affiliated one way or other in some party and organisations, you may have good intentions with the best political manifestos but your group alone cannot kill the BEAST. To be precisely practical, all of us will have to come together at a certain point to join the force. It is the established fact that, unless we defeat this corruption no one will prosper nor survive in this environment.

This movement demands combine force, therefore, citizens stand up for the time is within this January, IT IS NOW. Help yourself, rescue your children, rescue the future of our land. Come to Dimapur, the campaign start from 16th Jan. 18.

Which will continue for days even weeks till it becomes large enough to drive the course.

Every concerned person is welcome from any background provided he comes from his individual capacity, Strictly no Political Parties , no NGOs, no Groups, no social organisations will be entertained nor allowed to be interfered, it shall be purely a People’s movement.

Come with your concern each of you, let us ventilate in the gathering and grow in number as the day progresses until the collective wisdom start operating among us, at which point we shall be in a position to know and decide how to find out potential and responsible candidates from across the state and nominate them from a party chosen by the collective wisdom and take them to the people to be elected in order to replace the entire batch of this corrupt legislators, nothing less. This kind of movement succeeds when the conditions of a society reaches the bottom and the back of the people on the wall like ours, so why shouldn’t we take the advantage of this perfect opportunity?, “new wine in a new bottle”. Once again, “Nothing Less”!!!. Come let us experience the miracle of God. Citizens, show your support by texting YES to #7629998667. Allow us to communicate and update you with the progress on daily basis. Venue shall be directed on enquiry from the same number.

Kaka Zhimomi, Eralibill, Dimapur

(From previous issue...) he history of Nagas was discussed with a paper presentation by Dominic Leo, PhD with the title,‘Constructing histories: bringing positive history as collective’. He highlighted important events in the history of Naga Nation, right from the creation of Naga club in 1918.

Quoting Kaka D Iralu, he says Naga consciousness has its root as old as 150 AD when Nagas first inhabited their homeland. The paper also revisited the history of Naga and her relations with the outside world. The formation of Naga Club culminated into a movement, a struggle for identity and rights for a sovereignty. The balkanization of the Naga land and geographies was also discussedand how Treaty of Yandaboo, 1826 was a turning point whenneighbouring states like Manipur Raj and Ahom Raj began defining their territoriesand boundaries had been drawn. The paper also discussed on how Nagas asserted their own identity and oneness through various struggles like ‘Naga Raj’ Movement in southern region under the leadership of Jadonang in 1930 to ‘No house tax’ movement in 1940s. The writer exhorted fellow students not to be swayed away by negative constructed histories, but view it from the empirical and theoretically informed perspective.

I felt immensely elated when Dominic encouraged the attendees to ‘destroy the mindset of artificial boundaries’, the mentality of ‘us and them’, but instead celebrate this occasion by bringing positive histories and reimagining future as a nationstate and contribute oneself for

the future of the Nagas. I also observed that the participants were quite astonished to hear the history of the Nagas. I remember, whenever our village elders have meetings, they often seat around the bonfire sipping over cups of red/black tea. Although we could not afford such luxuries, we also prepared red tea from our e-kettles and served it hot, while we were being seated in a circle with few lit candles replicating bonfire.

This too created a warm homely atmosphere.

I must say that my earlier apprehension of observing Naga Day became clear, as we could rope in more discussions ranging from colonial impression on Naga areas and how Christianity and Naga tradition clashed. The question of Naga coming from Darkness to light was questioned in the light of social perspectives. JulianaPhaomei, a student of Livelihood and Social Entrepreneurship, questioned, what it means when we say Nagas came out from Darkness to Light. I was of the notion that there was no darkness before the advent of Christianity because our forefathers were selfsufficient and environmentally at peace. But other students argued that the essence of darkness was ignorance, suffering, and insecurity. Veilou remarked that the central theme on darkness was ignorance of Salvation and light was knowledge of Jesus Christ as the Saviour of humanity. Timayo, a student of Media and Cultural Studies, raised the question of majoritarianism among the Naga society and how it was shape by the advent of missionaries among such tribes. She cited the example

of how the Bible translation of one village’s dialect became the general language for the whole community in the context of the Tangkhul Naga tribe. The discussion also delved into how Naga society should accommodate non-Naga community into the family and keep conflicts and self-interests at bay by assuring trusteeship and protection for them. Ashonshok, a student of Globalisation and Labour Studies, pointed out how there was Naga disunity and conflict due to some vested interest even among the Naga themselves. I was contented when he mentioned the instance of secret deal done with opportunist Naga leaders who signed the 16 Point Agreement that eventually led to the formation of Nagaland state. His narration included how signatories to the agreement went about from village to village, coercing, and shutting voices of dissent.

The humble gathering at the replicated fireplace in the college amphitheatre was quite an enriching experience. I’ve learned that even though there are lots of histories to be contested and discussed, the spirit of oneness was alive and the passion for self-realisation is still intact.

Although, it may be more than 89 years that the memorandum for Nagas sovereignty was demanded and subsequently denied and subjugated by the government of India, we resolved to continue and instil Naga oneness without being limited by borders.

I strongly believe the national movement will move on until “We shall overcome someday”, KUKNALIM. (Concluded...)

Reader’s Post Sir,

With prompt action

I would like to draw the attention of the Govt. of Nagaland with regard to the District Demand of the Rengmas.

Enough has been written, said and heard about the up gradation of Tseminyu sub-division into a district digging out all the historical facts up to till date. The Rengmas are NOT asking for something which is not ours but we are asking for something which solely belongs to us. By virtue of being a major tribe of the Nagas, the Rengmas deserve a separate district headquarter from decade back but the Govt. turn a deaf ear to the hue and cry of the Rengmas for too long.

In conclusion, I believe the Govt. of Nagaland will heard the hue and cry of the Rengmas and fulfill our demand with prompt action forthwith.

Every day before the commencement of court work at 10.30 a.m., all the judges have tea together.

On Monday, when judges came for the customary tea, the top court staff attending to judges in the lounge were asked to leave.

Thereafter, in an informal chat, the issues raised by the four judges at a press conference were talked over and “resolved”, a source said.

As a consequence of this meeting, the commencement of top court working on Monday was delayed by 10 minutes.

“Actress Amala Paul was also questioned by our team for a few hours on Monday but let off. We will submit information against her to the court,” Sreejith said.

NEW DELHI, JAN 15 (AGENCIES): The Army today killed seven Pakistani soldiers and injured four in areas along the Line of Control (LoC) in retaliation for the killing of an Indian solider in Pakistani firing on Saturday.

The Army’s action occurred in the forward areas along the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district. The action comes after an Indian solider was killed+in Pakistani firing along the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Pakistan army said in a statement that four of its soldiers were killed along the LOC in the Jandrot, Kotli sector.

Separately, the Army today also killed six Jaishe-Muhammad (JeM) terrorists. “We have recovered five bodies from the spot. I think six have died, one body is be-

ing searched. They belonged to Jaish-e-Mohammed and information was that they are suicide attackers,” said SP Vaid, director general of police, Jammu and Kashmir.

Vaid laid out how the action unfolded.

“Since past few days, we were getting inputs about possible attempts to infiltrate from Uri sector. So, ambushes were laid out in that area by Army, J&K police & CRPF. In the morning, exchange of fire took place in one of the ambushes,” said Vaid. Separately, addressing Army members at an event of the 70th Army Day, Army Chief General Bipin Rawat warned Pakistan+ to not compel India to step up its military offensive.

“Pakistan Army has been continuously trying to help terrorists sneak into India along LoC in J&K. We are using our might to teach them a lesson. If we are

Speaking on the occasion, Baba Ramdev reiterated that the there was no political or religious agenda behind the initiative to set up the institutions but purely designed help develop Nagaland in education as well as health sectors.

Experiencing the deplorable roads of Nagaland in his recent visit, Ramdev said that no matter how good the institution was, it would be of no value if the condition of roads remained the same. He said any development in Nagaland would be meaningless without good road infrastructure.

In this aspect, he asked

the Nagaland government to make sure that the roads were properly repaired and asserted that he would help in bringing progress in the State.

Speaking about the aim of the institution, Ramdev stated that quality education would be provided so that students need not go to the mainland for higher education. Ramdev also demonstrated a few yoga postures. He said yoga helped people maintain a sound mind and a healthy body.

On his part, Ramdev’s close confidant and business partner, Acharya Bal Krishna assured of establishing a high-end hospital along with the five institutions in Nagaland. He said the hospital and the institutions would cater to people not only from the

He added that the people from outside would not only experience quality education and health services, but also witness the natural beauty of Nagaland.

In his welcome address, Thomas Lotha clarified that setting up of the institutions had nothing to do with religion, but that Patanjali Yogpeeth was investing in Nagaland to provide better services to the people.

Lotha also said laying of the foundation stone in Peren district, from where the chief minister hailed, was not politically motivated. He said the location was selected based on as-

In his brief speech, the Kuzholuzo (Azo) Neinu said Nagaland was a State of religious equity and hence the government was glad to welcome the institutions to be set up by a Hindu establishment.

NEW DELHI, JAN 15(AGENCIES): Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today lauded his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi as “a revolutionary leader in the best sense of the word” and let him know that he’s available for a yoga class with him any time.

Netanyahu, or ‘Bibi’ as he’s fondly called in Israel, also joked that he and his wife were excited to visit Bollywood and see it first hand.

Of course, increased cooperation in cinema was one among many areas the two leaders had wide ranging discussions about, but for all the world to see they focussed on their personal camaraderie+ and their bonhomie was in full display

one UN vote ( where India voted against Israel over the issue of Jerusalem) won’t change relations with Israel.

The PM also talked about his own reputation “of being impatient in getting results” and then revealed an open secret about his friend ‘Bibi’.

“An open secret is that I know you are (impatient) too, to do more for your people and quickly,” said PM Modi.

Both leaders also announced that they had a wide range of discussions and signed various cooperation deals in cutting edge areas in agriculture, science and technology and defence and security, as well as in people-to-people cultural exchanges to deepen a bond “that goes back a 1,000 years”.

forced, then we may resort to other action by stepping up military offensive,” he said.

The Army chief also talked about Pakistan’s nonstop ceasefire violations.

“Ceasefire violations by Pakistan happen frequently, to which we respond effectively. We will take even stronger steps against our enemies if we are compelled to do so,” said General Rawat.

Any anti-India activities will not be allowed to succeed, he added. Pakistan has violated the ceasefire along the International Border (IB) and the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir more than 720 times last year, the highest in the past seven years.

According to data compiled by the Union Home Ministry, Pakistani forces have violated ceasefire 724 times along the IB and the LoC till October in comparison to 449 times in 2016.

As many as 12 civilians and 17 security personnel were killed in the firing from across the border until last October. Last week, Rawat said “Pakistan’s nuclear bogey” will be thoroughly exposed were there to be war with the western neighbour, which often brandishes its short-range Nasr (Hatf-IX) nuclear missiles as a battlefield counter to India’s `Cold Start’ strategy of swift, highintensity conventional attacks into enemy territory.

velopment since January 12 as “a storm in a tea cup”.

Bar Council of India Chairman Manan Kumar Mishra said the issues raised by four dissenting top judges of the Supreme Court had been resolved and that the judiciary did not want any political party to take advantage of the situation.

“As you can see, the matter has been laid to rest and all court rooms in the Supreme Court are functioning normally,” Mishra said.

An unprecedented crisis engulfed the Supreme Court after the four judges -- Justices Chelameswar, Ranjan Gogoi, Madan B. Lokur and Kurian Joseph -on Friday took on the Chief

number two, three, four and five headed by Justice Chelameswar, Justice Gogoi, Justice Lokur and Justice Joseph respectively attended to their business as usual.

Significantly, lawyer R.P. Luthra, in a mention before the court number one headed by Justice Misra, said there was a conspiracy to destroy the institution and urged the Chief Justice to take action against the four judges.

The Chief Justice smiled and remained silent. The BCI President said a Bar delegation met senior judges on Sunday and requested them to sort out the differences among themselves. “Now it appears this morning they all met and resolved it. Now it (the Supreme Court) is functioning smoothly.”

However, he declined to comment on the issues related to Justice B.H. Loya’s death and other issues raised by the four senior most judges in their Friday conference.

“It is for the Supreme Court to decide the Judge Loya matter, not for the BCI to comment on it. Our sole concern was to ensure independence of the judiciary,” he said.

NEW DELHI, JAN 15 (IANS): A semblance of normalcy marked the functioning of the Supreme Court on Monday after the Chief Justice and all other judges, including those who revolted against him on Friday, had an informal meeting and discussed issues raised by the four rebel judges.

No details of what was discussed at the closed-door meeting were available as all judges, including the four, attended to their work after that. There was no word on whether an agreement was reached on the issues raised by the judges led by Justice J. Chelameswar on allocation of work before various benches of the court and more.

Attorney General K.K. Venugopal and the Bar Council President, however, claimed that the crisis in the country’s top court “has been settled”.

“The full court met.

It seems that everything is settled. Everything is hunky-dory,” the Attorney General told the media.

“It was an informal meeting in the morning (before the commencement of the court). Now everything has been settled,” Venugopal said, describing the de-

NEW DELHI, JAN 15 (AGENCIES): The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has decided to introduce facial authentication for Aadhaar for people encountering issues with other forms of biometric verification, like fingerprint and iris scanning.

The new feature is expected to be available in fusion mode - that is, with existing means of authentication+ - on registered devices by July 1 this year.

Specifically, the new feature will be allowed only when combined with “one more authentication factor”, like fingerprint, iris or OTP. “This facility is going to help in inclusive authentication of those who are not able to biometrically authenticate due to their worn out fingerprints, old age or hard work conditions,” PTI quoted UIDAI as saying.

The new method will also be allowed “on need basis”, PTI reported.

A few days ago, law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad had assured that the fingerprint and iris data stored in the Aadhaar system was impenetrable. “The (Aadhaar) system contains my finger print and iris kept in safe and secure encrypted form which cannot be broken even by billions of efforts. That is an Indian technology,” he had said.

High cost of loan servicing, aggressive competition for market share, uncertainty of mergers among others have been hindering further investment by telcos resulting in layoffs, the report said.

NEW DELHI, Jan 15 (Agencies): The government will split state-run carrier Air India into four separate companies and offer at least 51 per cent in each of them as part of a divestment plan proposed, Bloomberg reported on Monday.

The debt-laden airline would be divided into core airline business, regional arm, ground handling and engineering operations, the report added. The core airline business comprising Air India and Air India Express, the low-cost overseas arm, will be offered as one company, and the process will be completed by the end of 2018, Bloomberg reported, quoting Junior Aviation Minister Jayant Sinha.

In its last policy review in December, the RBI had kept key interest rate unchanged. It raised inflation forecast for remainder of the current financial year to 4.3-4.7 per cent, on account of global crude oil prices and implementation of the 7th Pay Commission recommendations.

As per the government data released today, inflation in vegetables witnessed some softening at 56.46 per cent in December as against 59.80 per cent in the previous month.

However, kitc hen staple onion witnessed a whopping 197.05 per cent price rise in December, 2017.

Inflation in protein rich eggs, meat and fish cooled to 1.67 per cent in December, while that in fruits spiked to 11.99 per cent.

The rate of price rise in the manufactured goods category stood at 2.61 per cent.

Meanwhile, inflation for October has been revised upwards to 3.68 per cent from the provisional estimate of 3.59 per cent released earlier.

Mumbai, Jan 15 (PTI): Faced with uncertainty, the once-sunshine telecom sector will continue to witness decline in headcounts for the next six-nine months taking the total number of job losses to 80,000-90,000, says a report.

The sector, which has been witnessing rough weather in terms of profitability due to rising competition and lower margins, has witnessed large scale lay-offs making job scenario uncertain, said a CIEL HR Services in a report today.

The report is based on a survey among around 100 senior and mid-level employees of 65 telco and software and hardware service providers to telecom companies.

ICRA Principal Economist Aditi Nayar said that despite the sharp rise in crude oil prices in the current month, WPI inflation is expected in a range of 3.2-3.6 per cent in the March quarter.

“While the MPC members would primarily weigh the uptrend in the retail inflation, the dip in the WPI inflation strengthens the case for a pause in the February policy review and fairly hawkish tone of the policy document,” Nayar said.

Ficci demanded lowering of interest rates by the RBI in its next monetary policy review on February 7 saying it is critical to boost investments and build the growth momentum.

In terms of investments the deals saw a sharp increase in value with 19 deals coming in excess of USD 300 million including four deals of over USD 1 billion.

Growth, startups and pipe deals witnessed multifold increase in investment inflows compared to 2016 and 2017 was the best year for growth deals at USD 13.8 billion which was 2.4 times the value recorded in 2016.

This was primarily driven by four mega deals accounting for 46 per cent of the value of growth deals, three involving Softbank’s investments in the e-commerce and fintech space and another involving GIC’s investment in DLF. Startup/early-stage investments at USD 3.5 billion across 311 deals was 1.7 times more than the value compared to 2016 and other deals at USD 3.7 billion across 38 deals was 2.4 times more.

New Delhi, Jan 15 (PTI): Wholesale pricebased inflation eased to a three-month low of 3.58 per cent in December 2017 as food prices softened, prompting the industry to seek measures in budget to strengthen agriculture supply chain.

Wholesale price index (WPI) based inflation was 3.93 per cent in November 2017 and 2.10 per cent in December 2016.

Inflation on food articles slowed to 4.72 per cent in December, from 6.06 per cent in November 2017, the official data released today showed.

In fuel and power segment, inflation rose to 9.16 per cent in December against 8.82 per cent in previous month.

Mumbai, Jan 15 (PTI): Investments by private equity/ venture capital firms touched a record in 2017 at USD 26.8 billion, as against USD 16.2 billion in 2016, and pulled out a record USD 13 billion from the country, says a report.

According to data collated by EY, Softbank’s USD 2.5 billion investment in online retail major Flipkart led the PE investment pack, making it the highestever in the country. According to the data, PE/VC exits almost jumped two-fold to USD 13 billion across 257 deals, driven by record level of exits via open market, secondary sale and IPOs. The year just gone-by was also the best for PEbacked IPOs featuring the largest IPO exit ever with Fairfax selling its 12 per cent stake in ICICI Lombard for USD 558 million.

According to EY’s private equity deal tracker, 2017 was the best year for both investments and exits, surpassing their respective previous highs. While investments rose 37 per cent to USD 26.8 billion across 589 deals, the year also saw 257 exits worth USD 13 billion, almost double the previous high recorded in 2016.

35 killed in Baghdad twin suicide bombing

Iraqi security forces cordon off the area where a double suicide bombing killed at least 38 people and injured 105 in central Baghdad.

Lo n d o n, Ja n 1 5 (Agencies): President Donald Trump has denied that he is racist, after a row broke out over his alleged use of the word “shithole” to describe African nations.

Mr Trump reportedly used the term last week during a bipartisan Oval Office meeting on immigration reform, reported BBC. He has now told reporters: “I am not a racist.

I’m the least racist person you have ever interviewed.”

It is the first time the president has responded directly to the racism accusations.

He made the denial to White House press pool reporters at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach in Florida on Sunday night.

The row broke out after lawmakers from both parties visited the president on Thursday to work on a proposal for a bipartisan immigration deal.

In recent weeks the

Donald Trump

Trump administration has been withdrawing Temporary Protected Status (TPS) from a number of nationalities currently living in the country.

Reports later emerged in US media that Mr Trump had asked during the meeting: “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?”

Mr Trump was said to have told them that instead of granting temporary residency to citizens of countries hit by natural disasters, war or epidemics, the US should be taking in migrants from countries like Norway.

In new book, Pak Taliban claims its suicide bombers killed Benazir Bhutto ISLAMABAD, Jan 15 (IANS): The Tehreek-eTaliban Pakistan or TTP has for the first time claimed responsibility for the assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto in a new book written by Taliban leader Abu Mansoor Asim Mufti Noor Wali.

Ms Bhutto was killed in a suicide attack in Rawalpindi shortly after she addressed an election rally on December 27, 2007 and members of the then military regime of General Pervez Musharraf had blamed the TTP for it. The outfit had so far maintained silence over the assassination.

No group had claimed responsibility for Ms Bhutto’s murder until the claim in “Inqilab Mehsood South Waziristan - From British Raj to American Imperialism.” The book says suicide bombers Bilal, who was also known as Saeed, and Ikramullah were tasked to carry out the attack on Ms Bhutto on December 27. “Bomber Bilal first fired at Benazir

Benazir Bhutto

Bhutto from his pistol and the bullet hit her neck. Then he detonated his explosive jacket and blew himself up among the participants of the procession,” Daily Times on Monday quoted the book as saying. After Ms Bhutto’s assassination, the Musharraf regime had released an audio conversation purportedly between the two Taliban men talking about Ms Bhutto’s death.

The book also claims that the Taliban was behind another attack on Ms Bhutto, carried out by two suicide bombers in October 2007 in Karachi, in which

nearly 140 people died.

“Despite attacks on Benazir Bhutto’s procession in Karachi, the government had not taken appropriate security measures that made it possible for the attackers to have easy access to Benazir Bhutto in Rawalpindi,” claims the book.

The book says that Baitullah Mehsud, the then head of the TTP, who was killed in a US drone strike in 2009, had approved the attack on Ms Bhutto’s procession in October 2007, when she returned to Pakistan to lead the campaign for the 2008 parliamentary elections. “The return of Benazir Bhutto was planned on the behest of the Americans as they had given her a plan against the Mujahideed-e-Islam. Baitullah had received information of the plan. So when Benazir Bhutto arrived in Karachi, two suicide bombers Mohsin Mehsood and Rehmatullah Mehsod carried out attacks on her procession at Karsaz area of Karachi,” the book claims.

Lo n d o n, Ja n 1 5 (Agencies): At least 38 people have died and more than a hundred have been wounded in a twin suicide bombing in the Iraqi capital Baghdad.

Officials at the country’s Interior Ministry said two bombers blew themselves up at Tayran Square a busy street market - during rush hour on Monday.

Emergency services

rushed to the market, which is usually crowded with labourers seeking work, before security forces sealed off the area.

In photos posted to social media, bodies could be seen scattered and items of clothing can be seen strewn across the blood-stained streets.

The BSF will be tasked with securing the long sections of Syria’s northern border with Turkey and eastern border with Iraq that are under SDF control, as well as parts of the Euphrates river valley, which effectively serves as the dividing line between the SDF and Syrian progovernment forces.

“A strong border security force will prohibit Daesh’s freedom of movement and deny the transportation of illicit materials,” the coalition said, using a different term for IS. “This will enable the Syrian people to establish effective local, representative governance and reclaim their land.”

In October, the alliance took full control of the northern city of Raqqa, the de facto capital of the “caliphate” declared by the jihadist group in 2014.

Since then, SDF fighters have been advancing southeastwards along the Euphrates river valley.

“Tell us what you want.

That would be useful,” Timmermans, the right-hand man to European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker, told a small group of Brussels-based media including AFP.

Lo n d o n, Ja n 1 5 (Agencies): Key powers involved in Syria’s civil war have criticised US plans to help an allied Kurdishled militia set up a 30,000strong “border security force”.

Turkey’s president vowed to “suffocate” efforts to begin training members of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and create what he called a “terror army”, reported BBC. Ankara considers Kurds fighting for the SDF to be part of a terrorist group. Syria’s government decried the “blatant attack” on its sovereignty, and Russia warned it could lead to partition. With the help of air strikes from a USled coalition, the SDF has captured tens of thousands of square kilometres of ter-

105 people.

Large-scale attacks have decreased significantly in the city and in other parts of the country since security forces retook most of the territory once held by Islamic State militants.

hile filming scenes for her upcoming role in The Rhythm Section, photographers caught the mother of two on New York’s Upper West Side looking exceedingly glamorous with a bold red lip and rocking a red wig, complete with dramatic pin-up girl bangs.

The fashionable star beat the NYC weather in a long black winter coat, stockings and a pair of Christian Louboutins. This is quite a different vision of the stunning star from when she was photographed two months ago while filming scenes for the very same movie in Dublin, Ireland.

On November 15, the actress who has basically never had a bad red carpet moment showed a dramatically different side when she was snapped in character, wearing over-sized clothes, no makeup (or makeup to make her look washed out) and a not-so flattering light brown wig.

Lively posted yet another look from the film on her Instagram—this one dark and stormy. Along with the short and dark wig photo, Blake wrote, “#TheRhythmSectionMovie.”

In Glamour’s September issue, well-dressed woman sounded off on the idea of perfection and why it’s troublesome. “It’s nonsense.

It simplifies people. Not all men, but a subsection of men, have a desire to under-

stand and control women.

To do that, you have to paint them into this thing you can wrap your head around,” the 30-year-old star argued. “But women are complex.”

George Clooney to Lead ‘Catch-22’ Series for Hulu

G

eorge Clooney will direct and star in a six-part limited series based on Joseph Heller’s landmark novel Catch22 for Hulu, the streaming service announced.

Clooney, who will play the role of Colonel Cathcart for the adaptation, will also executive produce the series about the book that gave birth to the paradoxical “Catch22.”

“Catch-22 is the story of the incomparable, artful dodger, Yossarian, a US Air Force bombardier in World War II who is furious because thousands of people he has never met are trying to kill him. But

his real problem is not the enemy, but rather his own army which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service,” Hulu wrote of the series, which will stay tethered to the WW2 setting.

“Yet if Yossarian makes any attempt to avoid his military assignments, he’ll be in violation of Catch-22, a hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule which specifies that a con-

a flight that she was meant to be on. After discovering that the crash was not an accident, her anger awakens a new sense of purpose and she rises to uncover the truth by adopting the identity of an assassin to track down those responsible. The new, and lethal, Stephanie Patrick is on a mission to fill the void between what she knows and what she is told.”

Happy Birthday!!!

cern for one’s own safety in the face of dangers which are real and immediate is the process of a rational mind; a man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but a request to be removed from duty is evidence of sanity and therefore makes him ineligible to be relieved from duty.”

Director Mike Nichols previously adapted Heller’s novel for a 1970 film that starred Alan Arkin, Charles Grodin, Art Garfunkel and, in the Cathcart role, Martin Balsam, as well as cameos by Orson Welles, Martin Sheen and Jon Voight.

Barcelona players celebrate after scoring a goal against Real Sociedad on Sunday.

M A D R I D, J a n 1 5 (Agencies): Luis Suarez inspired a spectacular Barcelona comeback which saw them recover from two goals down to beat Real Sociedad 4-2 at Anoeta on Sunday.

Willian Jose sent the hosts ahead in the 11th minute and Juanmi added a second goal in the 34th at a ground where Barcelona had not won in La Liga since 2007.

However, Suarez set up Paulinho to pull one

back before half-time before scoring twice himself, to ensure Barcelona would remain unbeaten and nine points clear of secondplace Atletico Madrid at the top of the table at the halfway stage of the season.

Lionel Messi added some gloss with a perfectly placed free kick for Barcelona’s fourth goal in the 85th minute, to end a thrilling game in spectacular fashion.

French referee suspended for kicking out at player

PARIS, Jan 15 (Agenc i e s ) : Re f e r e e To n y Chapron has been provisionally suspended after he appeared to kick out at Nantes player Diego Carlos in Sunday’s French Ligue 1 game against Paris St Germain.

During stoppage-time, Chapron bumped into Carlos and fell over with TV footage showing him swinging his leg towards the running defender’s shins. “The technical direction of refereeing and the federal commission of refereeing have decided on the withdrawal of Tony Chapron, who had been

appointed for Wednesday’s Ligue 1 game between Angers and Troyes, until further notice,” the French federation said in a statement on Monday.

Chapron will also be summoned before the league’s disciplinary committee. A few seconds after the incident, Chapron gave Carlos a yellow card, which resulted in the player being sent off as he had also been booked in the first half.

“I know that refereeing is tough, but the referee sometimes need to put himself into question,” Nantes forward Valentin Rongier said.

the game brimming with confidence despite recording just one win in their previous eight matches in all competitions and they did not take long to go ahead.

Xabi Prieto’s cross found striker Willian Jose, who escaped Paulinho and sent a bouncing header past Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

The Brazilian was unfortunate to see another strike ruled out, with David Zurutuza harshly penalised for a foul on Ivan Rakitic in the build-up.

However, Sociedad soon made it two when Sergio Canales’s superb lofted through-ball was dispatched by Juanmi, whose effort deflected in off Sergi Roberto.

It looked like Barcelona were going to be beaten at Anoeta again but Suarez had other ideas.

The striker forced his way down the left and put in a low cross for Paulinho to bundle home in the 39th minute.

Five minutes into the second half Roberto and Messi combined to set up Suarez, who curled home a stunning effort from just inside the area to level the score. Racing on to Thomas Vermaelen’s header in the 71st minute, he slotted home his second goal, before Messi’s late dead-ball contribution.

Beyond maintaining their advantage in the title race, the Catalans also moved 19 points clear of Real Madrid and extended their unbeaten streak to 29 games.

Aus Open: Ruthless Nadal powers ahead Liverpool end Man City winning run

Rafael Nadal began his Australian Open campaign with a Belinda Bencic reacts after winning in straight sets against win over Victor Estrella Burgos. the former world No 1.

MELBOURNE, Jan 15 (Agencies): Top seed Rafael Nadal ruthlessly brushed aside Victor Estrella Burgos to power into the second round of the Australian Open on Monday.

The world No.1, a beaten finalist to Roger Federer in Melbourne last year, clinically took apart the 81st-ranked Dominican to forge a 6-1, 6-1, 6-1 win in 94 minutes on Rod Laver Arena.

He next plays Leonardo Mayer of Argentina.

“I’m very happy to be back, it’s a very important beginning for me. It’s good news for me,” he said.

“I want to enjoy every moment I’m here on this court.” The Spaniard left nothing to chance with

eight service breaks and 28 winners in a complete first-up performance, dispelling fears over any knee trouble.

Nadal, 31, wore no strapping on his knee, appeared to move freely and combined his trademark power game from the back of the court.

It took his Australian Open record to 52-11 as he chases his second Melbourne Park title after beating Federer in the 2009 final.

Nadal, who is gunning for a 17th major title, was hampered by a knee injury at the tail-end of the 2017 season.

It forced him to skip the lead-up Brisbane International this month, and he only had a one-

match workout at the exhibition Kooyong Classic in Melbourne ahead of the Open.

Nadal needs to reach the quarter-finals to be certain of retaining his world number one ranking, with Federer breathing down his neck.

Nadal only conceded three games in the match and had few problems with Estrella Burgos, who has a modest 6-15 record at Grand Slams.

Cur rently ranked World No.2, Wozniacki had her serve broken three times during the 71-minute match on Monday, but made the most of all six break points she was offered to carve out a 6-2, 6-3 result.

Earlier, Switzerland’s Belinda Bencic upset fifth seed Venus Williams in the first round of the women’s singles competition in the Australian Open tennis tournament here on Monday.

Bencic will face the winner of the match between Thailand’s Luksika Kumkhum and Johanna Larsson of Sweden in the second round. The world number 5 American struggled to find her rhythm in the rain-interrupted match, dropping the first set.

Although Williams fared better in the second, the in-form Swiss hitter outplayed the American and sealed the victory after breaking serve in the final game.

William’s compatriot, 10th seed CoCo Vandeweghe, was brought down by Timea Babos of Hungary 6-7 (4-7), 2-6.

Liverpool players celebrate after scoring a goal against Manchester City.

Liverpool, Jan 15 (IANS): Liverpool ended Manchester City’s unbeaten run with a thrilling 4-3 victory on Sunday.

Across all competitions this season, Manchester City had only suffered one defeat prior to Sunday night, a 1-2 loss to Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk in a UEFA Champions League match on December 6, reports Efe news agency.

But City were not the best team on the field at the Anfield Stadium, especially in the second half when Liverpool played with greater hunger and motivation.

Liverpool’s Alex OxladeChamberlain gave the hosts the lead in the ninth minute, when he took possession of the ball in midfield, beat a series of defenders and then blasted a shot from outside

the penalty area past City goalkeeper Ederson in the ninth minute.

But after conceding that early goal, City dominated the rest of the first half and scored the equaliser shortly before the break when Leroy Sane shook off a defender and fired the ball home past Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius.

Liverpool, however, took charge after intermission, with Brazilian attacking midfielder Roberto Firmino scoring their second goal in the 59th minute.

Sadio Mane then made his presence felt, sending one shot off the woodwork and then shortly afterward getting the ball in the back of the net off a pass from Egypt’s Mohamed Salah to make the score 3-1. Egyptian star Mohamed Salah

then appeared to have given Liverpool a comfortable lead in the 68th minute when he sent a shot from far outside the penalty box over the head of Ederson, who was way out of position.

City, however, showed why they had won 20 out of 22 games, getting one goal from Bernardo Silva six minutes before second-half stoppage time and another from Ilkay Gundogan one minute into injury time to cut Liverpool’s lead to 4-3.

But time was not on the side of the visitors, who finally tasted defeat in a domestic league contest.

Despite the loss, City (62 points) still have a whopping 15-point advantage over second-placed Manchester United. Liverpool (47 points) jumped into the third spot with the win.

2nd Test: SA take 118-run lead over India

Centurion, Jan 15 (Agencies): India captain Virat Kohli blazed a magnificent century but South Africa hold the upper hand after reaching 90/2 in their second innings as rain stopped play after tea on day three of the second Test.

The home side lead by 118 runs after they bowled India out for 307 after lunch, despite a classy 153 from Kohli, who played almost a lone hand.

AB de Villiers (50 not out) took the attack to the Indian bowlers after South Africa had sunk to 3/2 in their second innings on a wicket that is more Pune than Pretoria, keeping low and taking massive turn for the spinners.

De Villiers will resume after the interval with opener Dean Elgar (36 not out), who had battled for rhythm but hung around in an unbeaten third-wicket partnership of 87.

been rocked earlier by a double-strike from Indian seamer Jasprit Bumrah, who trapped both Aiden Markram (1) and Hashim Amla (1) leg before wicket with deliveries that skidded through after keeping low.

There would have been plenty of panic in the South African dressing room at that point, but De Villiers started playing attacking shots from the mo-

ment he reached the wicket to transfer the pressure back onto the tourists.

Kohli had spoken before the match about showing more “intent” against South Africa’s seam attack and he duly delivered, compiling a brilliant 153 not out from 217 balls.

He now has 21 Test tons to go with 15 halfcenturies, a conversion rate when passing 50 that

is only bettered by Don Bradman, who made 29 hundreds and 13 fifties.

India had resumed at 5-183, but lost Hardik Pandya (15) to a farcical run-out as the allrounder ambled into his crease and failed to put his bat down, only to be undone by a direct hit from Vernon Philander.

Kohli and Ravichandran Ashwin (38) shared a quick-fire seventh wicket stand of 71 before the latter fell to Philander (46/1).

Mohammed Shami (1) edged a Morne Morkel 60/4) delivery to slip, while the latter also accounted for Ishant Sharma (3) when he was caught at short-leg.

Kohli was the last batsman out as he tried to attack the bowling, caught at deep mid-on to be become Morkel’s fourth victim of the innings.
