BENGALURU, JAN 16 (AGENCIES): The drama in Karnataka continues. The ruling Congress-JD(S) coalition and opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have traded MLA poaching charges. The Congress-JD(S) alliance suffered a major blow after two independent MLAs withdrew support to the HD Kumaraswamy government. Kumaraswamy said there’s no question of instability or internal conflict in his government. BS Yeddyurappa, the BJP’s Karnataka unit chief, accused CM Kumaraswamy of trying to lure his party’s MLAs by using “power and money”. The BJP’s MLAs are currently staying in a hotel in Gurgaon, Haryana.

PM-headed panel likely to appoint new CBI chief on Jan 24 NEW DELHI, JAN 16 (PTI): The high-powered Selection Committee headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to meet on January 24 to appoint the new CBI director succeeding Alok Verma whose ouster has triggered a major political row. Besides Modi, Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi and the Leader of Congress in Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge are other members of the panel. Kharge had demanded that the panel meeting be convened at the earliest to appoint a new director of CBI as the agency cannot be run by an interim director, whose appointment he termed as illegal. IPS officer M Nageswara Rao was named as the interim director of the CBI following Verma’s removal. The sources said the government had proposed the meeting on January 21 earlier while Kharge wanted the meeting on January 24 or 25. After mutual consultations, the sources said, the government has finalised January 24 as the date for the meeting to select the new CBI Director, after Kharge is reported to have given his go-ahead for the date.

This is it!

Coalition par tners Congress and JD(S) claimed that BJP’s bid to topple its coalition government has failed. Both chief minister HD Kumaraswamy and deputy chief minister G Parameshwara claimed that JD(S)-Congress coalition is safe and they had the numbers. “One person from JDS has been offered Rs 60 crore and a minister post by former chief minister and BJP leader Jagadish Shettar. He refused the offer and informed HD Kumaraswamy,” said JDS MLA Shivalinge Gowda. However, senior BJP leader Murlidhar Rao, general secretary in charge of Karnataka, said the coalition government will fall due

He explained that culture was not just about dances and songs, but of

we reap today is due to the efforts of our forefathers, including the State. We have no right to destroy the hard work as we like.” He called upon all to live in peace and unity for the greater public interest. He urged the young generation to take up responsibilities and pass on the good traits to their next generation. He was in viewed that the present generation was “most unproductive”, fighting and quarrelling over little things handed by the forefathers. “We are contributing absolutely nothing. We are self-centred and a selfish generation. The posterity will look back at us and say we have done nothing. We have become stagnant. Let’s look forward to and work for a progressive future. Let us try our best to give back to the society and see what we can contribute to the society,” he exhorted.

D I M A P U R , JA N 1 6 (NPN): Lotha Hoho (LH) Wednesday termed as “anti-Naga” the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB) 2016, which was passed by the Lok Sabha during the just-concluded Winter Session of Parliament. LH through its media & publicity cell said the Bill seemed to be the “ultimate concern” for the minority ethnic people especially of Northeast and particularly for the Nagas. In his regard, the Hoho has urged the Naga leaders to act before the Bill gets passed in the Rajya Sabha. “Once the Bill gets through the Rajya Sabha no amount of resentment will undo that...” LH stated. The hoho has, however, queried “why do our Naga leaders not only keep mum but also do nothing to make use of the provisions available for protection of the Naga people whom they are representing? Or are our leaders leading us to doom?” It also asked the sitting Lok Sabha MP what was he doing when the house passed the Bill? “Did he

raise any voice; even if not heeded?” LH asked. Further, LH queried why were the Naga tribal and other organisations keeping quiet? Stating that Nagas have provisions such as BEFRA 1873, Article 371 A, 16- Point Agreement for their protection, the LH, however, asserted that Nagas needed to make use of the constitutional provisions or Agreements. It pointed out that all the provisions of 16Pont agreement need to be claimed particularly Clause 1, 11, 12 and 13 (to be under External Ministry, Financial Assistance, Restoration of Transferred Reserved Forests, Consolidation of Contiguous Naga Areas). “When all these provisions are already available for us why waste time in negotiation? Just make use of the provisions and adhere to them since provisions are already written and available,” LH suggested. It said that leaders of Nagaland did not seem to care to know the provisions to safeguard Nagas. (Cont’d on p-7)

character and way of living that should be preserved. Qualities like honesty, being upright, hardworking and sacrificing are some golden virtues that the world was looking for, he added. The MP asserted that no ethnic group in the world would be culturally rich “as ours”, with every subtribe having its own unique culture. Thanking the State government for promoting culture of the Nagas through mini hornbill festivals, the MP stressed that the festival should not serve as a cultural exhibition only, but also should be used to earn revenue by the department concerned. He said he was hopeful that tourism at the community level would pick up.

BJP pulling it down. Kumaraswamy told the media here that “Our coalition government is running smoothly. I am relaxed. We are in touch with all our (Janata Dal-Secular and Congress) legislators and have their support.” Karnataka deputy chief minister G Parameshwara told the media “All the Congress legislators are with us and everything is all right in the party. Some legislators may be away but they will be back in Bengaluru soon”. The BJP’s ‘Operation Lotus’ to poach the Congress legislators has come to an end”. “The drama of ‘Operation Kamala’ (lotus) has ended. No attempt to destabilise the coalition government will be effective as we

have the support of all our legislators,” he stressed. Meanwhile, CLP leader and former chief minister Siddaramaiah has called a Congress Legislature Party meeting to be chaired by Siddaramaiah on January 18 in the city, in what is considered as a move to show the party’s strength to the world. The southern state’s ruling coalition partners JD-S-Congress and the opposition BJP have been trading charges of poaching each others’ legislators for the past few days. Congress leader in Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge said in New Delhi that the “persistent” efforts of the BJP to destabilise the government have failed, leading to the saffron party indulging in spreading rumours of cracks in the government and the party. He said all the 118 MLAs of the coalition are intact and questioned why the BJP has kept its MLAs in a resort in Gurugram, far away from Karnataka.

Former Arunachal CM Gegong Apang quits BJP

Itanagar, Jan 16 (PTI): Four years after switching from the Congress to the BJP, former Arunachal Pradesh chief minister Gegong Apang has quit the saffron party, saying it has become a platform to seek power. Apang, who was chief minister of the Northeastern state for over 22 years, sent a two-page resignation letter to BJP chief Amit Shah on Tuesday. “I am disappointed to see that the present BJP is no longer following the principles of Raj Dharam but has turned into a platform to seek power, serves a leadership which hates decentralization of democratic decision,” he wrote in the letter. In 2014, the BJP used every dirty tricks to make

Dr. Najma attends curtain raiser of Gaan-Ngai festival

Correspondent

IMPHAL, Jan 16: Manipur Governor Dr Najma Heptulla Wednesday called for preservation of culture and tradition of different communities living together in Manipur. “We must remember our cultural roots and practice our cultural tradition regardless of the achievements made in our life,” the Governor said while taking part in the opening ceremony of the curtain raiser of the state level GaanNgai Festival to be held on January 19 in Imphal’s Chingmeirong. This is for the first time that the curtain raiser of the Gaan-Ngai festival was celebrated with the Governor at the Raj Bhavan. The event is organised by the State Level GaanNgai Celebration Committee, Manipur in collaboration with the Tingkao Ragwang Chapriak Phuam (TRCP). Gaan-Ngai is the greatest festival of the Zeliangrong community. It literally means the festival of winter season (Gaan or Ganh means winter or dry season and Ngai means festival). Heptulla expressed her happiness that Gaan-Ngai festival was beginning from the Raj Bhavan and hoped that the celebration will continue every year at the Raj Bhavan.

Kalikho Pul the chief minister of Arunchal Pradesh and a BJP government was reinstalled despite an adverse Supreme Court ruling, he said. “Neither a proper investigation was done on Pul’s suicide nor the present BJP leadership thought of morality and ethics by installing many more BJP governments in NE India,” the hard-hitting

letter read. He said announcing Pema Khandu’s name as chief minister before the election is neither the norm nor the tradition of the cadre-based party. “Thus, I wish Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi should try to learn Raj Dharam as the history will judge your deeds.” The 69-year-old resigned from the Congress and joined the BJP ahead of the 2014 general election. Welcoming Apang’s decision, state Congress chief Takam Sanjoy said it reflected true colours of the BJP. Congress legislator Takam Pario said the BJP applies “use and throw” policy to everyone. He alleged Apang’s resignation is a slap on the BJP’s face.

Myanmar border fence going nowhere KO L K ATA , J AN 1 6 (AGENCIES): The fence, being erected along the Indo-Myanmar border to curtail the movement of insurgents through the porous frontier, appears to be going nowhere. “I won’t even say that it (border fencing between India and Myanmar) is in the pipeline,” Lt General MM Naravane, Chief of the Army’s Eastern Command, said here today. Talking to reporters at the Eastern Command Headquarters, Fort William, on the occasion of Army Day, Naravane said all he could say

about the proposed fencing was that “it was under consideration”. “We will have to see how it pans out”, he said. Four North Eastern states – Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Mizoram and Manipur – share border with Myanmar. The work of fencing the border had begun in Manipur but was stopped due to protests by locals. According to them, fencing will result in a huge stretch of land becoming Myanmar’s territory and create unrest among ethnic groups living on both sides of the border.

Meghalaya Congress women workers demand scrapping of Citizenship Bill Shillong, Jan 16: Congress women’s workers in Meghalaya on Wednesday took out a protest march demanding scrapping of the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 that was passed in Lok Sabha. Initially, the Congress workers were planning to stage a protest in-front of the State’s BJP headquarters but the district administration has clamped Section 144 CrPC which prevents the assembly of more than five people. The women’s wing of the state Congress shouted slogans and displayed placards, slamming the BJPled NDA government and demanding that the Bill should be scrapped immediately saying that it will have an adverse impact on the future generation of the ethnic communities in the region. The Bill passed by the BJP government is to take away the rights of the indigenous people of Meghalaya and to crush and wipe them out,” State’s Congress Women’s Chief,

Joplin Scott Shylla said. Shylla also demanded the Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA) government headed by Conrad Sangma to cut-off ties with the BJP over the Bill that aims to remove hurdles for eligible migrants of six minority groups from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan from getting Indian citizenship. The Bill is expected to be tabled in the Rajya Sabha during Parliament’s

upcoming Budget Session as members of the opposition strongly opposed it. The six-party MDA coalition constitutes 20 members from the National People’s Party, seven from the United Democratic Party, four from the People’s Democratic Front, two each from the HSPDP and the BJP, one from the Nationalist Congress Party besides three Independent members.

Pollution rises in Delhi; CPCB flays civic bodies

New Delhi, Jan 16 (PTI): Delhi’s air quality Wednesday deteriorated to very poor category due to decreased wind speed even as the Central Pollution Control Board charged the DDA and civic bodies of Delhi and Gurgaon of failing to timely redress air pollution complaints. According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) data, the overall air quality index (AQI) in the

city was 379, which falls in the ‘very poor’ category. An AQI between 100 and 200 comes under the ‘moderate’ category, 201 and 300 is considered ‘poor’, 301 and 400 ‘very poor’, while that between 401 and 500 ‘severe’. In four different notices issued to the Delhi Development Authority, Municipal Corporation Gurgaon, East Delhi Municipal Corporation and the South Delhi

Democracy is our greatest strength, says Rahul Gandhi New Delhi, Jan 16 (PTI): Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said democracy is India’s greatest strength and must be defended at any cost, as he cited an incident when an Afghan lawmaker had told him that arguments that take place in Indian Parliament, are carried out with guns in that country. Narrating the incident in a Facebook post, Gandhi recalled that one day in Parliament, he saw a group of MPs from Afghanistan sitting in the visitors’ gallery. “And, I was thinking, ‘these MPs have come from abroad and look what we

are doing: we are shouting and screaming and yelling. At least when they are here why can’t this place be in order?” Gandhi said. The Congress president said later the Afghan MPs visited him in his office and he told them that he was sorry that they were sitting in the visitors’ gallery and the lawmakers were not having a nice debate and sort of arguing. “And, then, one of the MPs started crying! I was a bit surprised. I asked her ‘what happened?’. You know, Mr. Gandhi,’ she said, ‘in my country the arguments that you have in this building, your Parliament, are carried out with guns.

Municipal Corporation, CPCB chairperson S P S Parihar said it is the responsibility of the concerned public agencies to take measures to mitigate the air pollution issues in a time-bound manner. “The EDMC was asked to address complaints within 24 hours of receipt but it is noticed that out of 1,126 complaints forwarded by the CPCB Sammer app 919 complaints were resolved (but not within stipulated time duration of 24 hours and without documentary evidence uploaded against all complaints),” Parihar said in the notice. He also noted that a large number of complaints received through the social media accounts of the CPCB were not resolved. “It is noticed that there are 123 complaints forwarded by CPCB social media account, out of which only two complaints were resolved. Only 15 complaints have been attended but not resolved and 106 complaints are still unattended to,” the notice to EDMC said.

Panaji, Jan 16 (IANS): A Goa minister has given his own government a sevenday ultimatum to revoke an administrative circular, which makes it mandatory to obtain a ‘no objection certificate’ from the Indian Navy for any construction activity carried out within 20 km radius of the Dobolim International Airport located in South Goa district.

New Delhi, Jan 16 (IANS): The Aam Aadmi Party on Wednesday complained that its MLAs have not been invited for the athome hosted by President Ram Nath Kovind since he took over in 2017. “Long tradition of Delhi MLAs invited to ‘athome’ reception hosted by President of India has been discontinued by President Kovindji. The last invite to Delhi MLAs was in 2017 on January 26, and then Kovind became President on July 14, 2017,” Saurabh Bharadwaj tweeted along with a photo of the last invitation. Bharadwaj also questioned if politics of the country had stooped so low that the President

IMPHAL, JAN 16: Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh on Wednesday declared his government’s resolute stand against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 – CAB – without a clause to protect smaller communities. He asserted that until and unless a clause to protect smaller communities, particularly indigenous people of Northeast, including Manipur, was included in the Bill and President of India have his assent to the Manipur People’s Protection Bill, 2018, his government would continue to oppose the controversial Bill. “Our stand (on the Bill) is very clear. We will be against the Bill until and unless a clause exempting Manipur from the purview of the Bill is included and President of India gives his assent to the Manipur People’s Protection Bill,” he added.

Goa district Collector Tariq Thomas, made it mandatory for all constructions within a 20 km radius of the aviation facility to require a no-objection certificate from the Indian Navy, which operates Goa’s only airport at Dabolim village in South Goa.

Days after the circular was reported in the media earlier this month, Thomas was transferred from the South Goa Collectorate and has been asked to report to the state personnel department for further posting. Land tracts owned by

the Defence Ministry has been a cause for concern for Goa’s political class, across parties, who have accused the Indian Navy, as well as the Indian Army of hogging land tracts in the state, while arguing that Goa has limited land resources for development.

indigenous people of the State, he said. The chief minister reiterated that unless the Centre fulfilled the demands, his government would oppose CAB and was even ready to face any consequence arising out of it. Meanwhile, the chief minister’s announcement of his resolute stand came at a time when there are already protests going on in Manipur against CAB. On Wednesday too, protests were held in various parts of the State. The protests were in response to appeal made by six student bodies – AMSU, MSF, DESAM, SUK, KSA and AIMS – spearheading the anti-CAB protests in the State. Police threw mock bombs to disperse the protestors who burnt an effigy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Hatta Golapati here on Wednesday. There was no report of any injury in the police action. Another protest was staged at Lamlong Bazar, the biggest market place in Imphal East, demanding immediate withdrawal of CAB.

who came from the BJP has considered the Delhi MLAs as “step-children of mother India”. “Does this suit the President on Republic Day? Since Kovindji became the President, he ended the age-old tradition,” the AAP spokesperson tweeted in Hindi. Bhardwaj had made similar remarks last year for Independence Day function. On August 14 Bharadwaj had said: “I don’t think Rashtrapati Bhavan can be influenced by the politics of Modiji. There must be some other genuine reason to break the long-standing tradition and stop inviting MLAs of Delhi.” He had also said the Delhi MLAs “were always invited by all Presidents before Kovind. “After Kovindji became President, the threedecade old tradition has been stopped. Inviting CM or leader of Opposition is altogether different. Why are Delhi MLAs being humiliated,” he questioned, adding he got a total of seven invites from the President between 2014 and till Kovind became President in July 2017.

Evolving poll agendas

or the BJP, the shocking defeats in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan has forced it to redraw its 2019 poll battle plans. Earlier, it was largely expected that the BJP would tom-tom its economic development achievement, a corruption-free government and an ‘unassailable leader’ in Modi. However, when these did not find much resonance in all the bypolls and the assembly elections held in which it lost badly, the party withdrew to the mandir agenda. It may be recalled that these cow belt states were instrumental in giving the BJP a large number of seats in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. The other states that contributed to the BJP’s 2014 kitty included-Assam, where now, the anti-Citizenship Amendment Bill movement is gaining momentum against the party. The next state of Haryana is also veering away from the BJP as with Himachal Pradesh and Goa. The mandir plank is the BJP’s best bet in the cow belt . There is a demand for an ordinance to facilitate construction of the mandir. However, Modi has not yet given any indication of whether his government would issue an ordinance or await the Supreme Court ruling on the Ayodhya dispute. Falling back to religion is a sure recipe for division but there is a method to the madness. Looking at recent development from Sabarimala in the south to the disputed site at Ayodhya in the north, the BJP seems to be convinced that there are abstract notions of faith drive the country’s politics. The VHP wants the government over which it believes it has proprietorial control, to start facilitating building a Ram temple at the site the Babri Masjid was demolished in December 1992. Adding heft to the demand, BJP’s recalcitrant ally and Shiv Sena supremo Uddhav Thackeray too pitched in favour of construction of the Ayodhya mandir. If Ram has become a pawn to be moved across north India’s poll chess board, Sabarimala’s Lord Ayyappa is rivalling him in the south. On Sabarimala, the BJP rejects the Supreme Court judgment permitting entry of women of all age groups. The Congress too rejects the court order but again, Congress being what it is, the party supports both the ban on women and also the entry of women into the Sabarimala. The BJP has now adopted the 10% quota for economically poor among the upper castes. All other political parties appear to agree with the quota since none of them would dare to differ especially in an election year. The quota issue is a desperate attempt as the insinuations around the so-called ‘confessions’ of alleged middleman in the Augusta-Westland helicopter deal Christian Michel. However, for the opposition parties the farmers’ crisis is a very important issue in the sense of votes. The Congress in particular will raise the Rafale deal, demonetisation, botched GST and lynch mobs running riot etc. The opposition is echoing the serious concerns raised by eminent personalities about how under Modi’s rule, an unprecedented and dire situation has arisen, as key institutions – pillars of the republic – have squirmed under the overbearing pressure of interference. The concerns involved how the Modi government has subverted key and vital government institutions such as CBI, CVC, RBI, ECI, CIC and RTI and Supreme Court to do the government’s bidding. It will not be easy to prevent the Modi government from making crucial decisions in the run up to the 2019 Lok Sabha polls and for which the opposition are instead bickering among themselves.

DailyDevotion The Voice of the Nature of God

I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: "Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?" —Isaiah 6:8 When we talk about the call of God, we often forget the most important thing, namely, the nature of Him who calls. There are many things calling each of us today. Some of these calls will be answered, and others will not even be heard. The call is the expression of the nature of the One who calls, and we can only recognize the call if that same nature is in us. The call of God is the expression of God’s nature, not ours. God providentially weaves the threads of His call through our lives, and only we can distinguish them. It is the threading of God’s voice directly to us over a certain concern, and it is useless to seek another person’s opinion of it. Our dealings over the call of God should be kept exclusively between ourselves and Him. The call of God is not a reflection of my nature; my personal desires and temperament are of no consideration. As long as I dwell on my own qualities and traits and think about what I am suited for, I will never hear the call of God. But when God brings me into the right relationship with Himself, I will be in the same condition Isaiah was. Isaiah was so attuned to God, because of the great crisis he had just endured, that the call of God penetrated his soul. The majority of us cannot hear anything but ourselves. And we cannot hear anything God says. But to be brought to the place where we can hear the call of God is to be profoundly changed.

Post-mortem

India’s plan to breathe easy is out T

Cost-effective option for ridding industrial wastewater

he Indian government has unveiled its longawaited National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) that aims at a 20-30 percent reduction of particulate matter (PM) concentration over the next five years, with an overall goal of mitigating air pollution and improving air quality in the country, which has some of the world's most polluted cities. The time-bound plan, targeting a specific PM level reduction by 2024, is encouraging, following the draft version in April 2018 that drew criticism for having no clear targets. However, the key challenge lies in the implementation of the NCAP, particularly as the targets are not legally binding in the current plan. With no mechanism to legally enforce the targets, there is concern that the plan, while good in intention, might not be effective. The NCAP comes after years of public outcry and continuous intense pressure from the judiciary, media and experts on the government to take action on India's toxic air pollution. Though it has been welcomed by experts as a step forward, some believe it would be stronger with legally-binding targets and provision for action against its non-implementation. "We need to give credit (to the government) that there is a plan now. This is a step in the right direction, but in its current form it lacks the ambition to achieve breathable air," Sunil Dahiya, senior campaigner with Greenpeace India, told Mongabay-India. "It needs to build on missing links. It's basically a plan of plans which lacks teeth to bite (in case of non-compliance). In India, where a (legally) notified plan (GRAP) by government to reduce pollution failed, the implementation of the NCAP will be a challenge in its current form." Dahiya said they hope that India's environment ministry will show more seriousness in implementing the plan and strengthen it. The need to ensure compliance of the plan is an important factor that will determine the success of the plan. Director of Climate Trends, Aarti Khosla, stressed that "solutions to the problem of air quality will come faster if there is strongest political will at the top".

"The plan does not have an associated enforcement, regulation or compliance mechanism. It is basically a wish list. The question, which was the question even before, is that it is okay to have all these plans but what will happen in terms of strengthening enforcement which really is the missing piece. They have not addressed it," Khosla said. Even the NCAP admits that non-compliance is an issue. It noted that the experience of authorities so far "indicates lack of regular monitoring and inspection as the major reason for noncompliance". To deal with the issue, it stressed that "trained manpower and regular inspection drive will be ensured for stringent implementation". The plan is significant given that around a million lives are lost every year due to air pollution. According to a study published in The Lancet in December, of the total deaths in India in 2017, 1.24 million deaths, equivalent to 12•5 percent of total mortalities, could be attributed to air pollution. The continued outcry against air pollution intensified few years ago when the capital Delhi and adjoining regions in northern India consistently recorded "severe" levels of air pollution during the winter season, from November to February. The plan, launched by India's environment minister Harsh Vardhan last week, sets a national level target of 20-30 percent reduction of PM2.5 and PM10 concentration by 2024, with 2017 as the base year. It is currently a mid-term five-year action plan, with 2019 as the first year and an initial funding allocation of Rs 300 crore. However, the government emphasised that international experience and national studies indicate that a significant change in terms of air pollution initiatives will only be visible in the long term. Thus, after a mid-term review, the programme may get extended for 20-25 years. The other main features of the NCAP include a substantial increase in number of monitoring stations across the country including in rural areas, increased focus on indoor air pollution, an air quality forecasting system and cityspecific plantation plans for

the non-attainment cities and towns. It also focuses on research and monitoring with source apportionment studies, health impact studies, review of standards and emphasis on enforcement and sectoral interventions. The NCAP highlighted that with 4,000 cities in the country, just 703 manual monitoring stations in 307 cities reflects a limited reach and needs augmentation. "It is proposed to augment it to 1,500 stations from existing 703 stations," said the NCAP. It also proposed to set up 75 monitoring stations in rural areas. The improved monitoring will be helpful in determining status and trends of air quality. In addition, the plan aims to increase the existing number of continuous ambient air quality monitoring stations (CAAQMS) from the 134 stations in 71 cities and 17 states, with a special focus on the Indo-Gangetic plain. "Impetus will be on low-cost indigenous real-time monitoring stations," said the plan. On plantation plans, NCAP aims to link to India's target of additional forest and tree cover of 2.5 to 3 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent by 2030. "There needs to be more focus on the western regions of India (Rajasthan and Gujarat) for enhanced tree cover, which will reduce wind-blown dust within the country and will also act as barriers for transboundary dust," the plan noted. The NCAP will be made functional with a combined effort of different ministries including ministries of transport, petroleum, new and renewable energy, heavy industry, housing and urban affairs, agriculture, health, NITI Aayog, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), experts, civil society and academics. Meanwhile, during the launch it was also emphasised that the plan is envisaged to be dynamic and will continue to evolve based on any emerging scientific and technical information. The plan will be integrated with the existing policies of the government, including the five major missions of the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC). (IANS) Mayank Aggarwal

he United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has reported that India is on the verge of becoming a highly water-stressed country. At this stage, reducing wastewater generation and water recycling should be given due importance. Reuse of industrial wastewater has been in practice for a long time in India, and this water is mainly used for agriculture purposes in nearby areas. However, this has led to high levels of heavy metal concentration in vegetables grown with industrial wastewater. India generates around 13,500 million litres of industrial wastewater every day, an alarming amount of which is discharged into natural water sources without proper treatment, owing to the high costs involved. This unprocessed sludge contains large amounts of heavy metals, which can pose a serious health hazard to people. These metals can enter the human body via water, air and food - or even absorption through the skin - and accumulate in the tissues, leading to skin cancer, bone defects, mental retardation in children and chronic damage to the nervous system et al. A study conducted by the Ministry of Water Resources analysed the amount of heavy metals in Indian rivers from 2014 to 2017. High concentrations of these metals, exceeding the permissible limits for drinking water, were observed in big rivers such as the Ganga, Rapti, Ramganga, Subarnarekha, and Tungabhadra. Observing the standards for heavy metals in these rivers is essential, as nearly 80 per cent of the rural population and 50 per cent of the urban population depend on surface and groundwater for domestic purposes. However, no rigorous action has been taken in this regard. Concentration of heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and chromium in edible fish tissues in Indian rivers is around 1.4-17 µg/g of dry weight (permissible limit - 0.5 µg/g), 0.62-34 µg/g (permissible limit - 0.5 µg/g), and 0.75-18 µg/g (permissible limit - 2 µg/g) respectively. Techniques For Removing Heavy Metals: There are physical, chemical, and biological methods to remove heavy metals from industrial wastewater. Physical methods include membrane separation, adsorption, screening and gravity concentration.Chemical methods such as chemical precipitation use chemical reagents to increase the particle size of the colloidal suspension and the heavy metals are then removed via a filtration process. Some of the biological techniques such as activated sludge process and trickling filters use microorganisms for removal treatments. Among the treatment techniques, adsorption (a substance that aborbs another) is the most effective and ecofriendly. In this process, heavy metals in water adhere to the surface of an adsorbent via physical or chemical interaction. Adsorption occurs only at the surface of the material (adsorbent).

The most common adsorbent used in industries is activated carbon, for removing heavy metals, toxic gases, and other elements. Even though it is widely used for many industrial activities, its high cost (Rs 30,000-60,000/tonne) is a drawback. Organic Waste as Heavy Metal Adsorbents: In recent years, various studies have been carried out to develop safe and cost-effective adsorbents. Research shows that organic waste can be used as an adsorbent. Such bio-adsorbents consist of different functional groups, such as hydroxyls and amines, that have a great affinity for metal ions. In India, around 150 million tonnes of agricultural waste is generated annually. Using organic waste as bio-adsorbents could help agro-industries and farmers manage their waste efficiently, and generate additional revenue. The adsorptive power of many organic wastes such as waste tea leaves, rice husk, banana peel, coconut palm leaves, sugarcane bagasse, and mango peel was investigated. Such bio-adsorbents, without any modifications, have lower adsorbent capabilities. Modified bio-adsorbents with higher metal adsorption capacity were made via chemical treatment. Charred banana peel, charred xanthated sugarcane bagasse, charred orange peel, and charred chlorinated tea leaves are some of the modified low-cost adsorbents. A modified adsorbent is a cost-effective alternative for activated carbon. In fact, a few of them have better adsorptive power than activated carbon. Adsorbed heavy metals can then be recovered via acid or base treatment, and the bio-adsorbents can then be reused. This will create additional income for industries. The Way Forward: Deployment of cost-effective technologies for water treatment (such as bio-adsorbents) will have significant traction in the upcoming years as there are growing concerns about the quality of recycled water. However, adoption of bio-adsorbents in Indian industries is not even in the primitive stage. As an initial step, setting up a bio-adsorbent ‘pilot plant’ in existing common effluent treatment plants (CETPs) is an economically viable option. CETPs can opt for existing financial assistance schemes from central and state pollution control boards and state governments for technology upgrades. The collection and supply of bioadsorbents also need proper management. Suitable agro-waste collection mechanisms should be developed by the Ministry of Agriculture. These could help in generating additional revenue for farmers and also reduce smoke and haze resulting from agro-waste burning. Therefore, with collaborative efforts from industries, pollution control boards, agro-producers, and water supply departments, recycling and management of toxic industrial wastewater can be carried out in an economical way.

Newly discovered super-Earth Here’s how human brain recalls events exoplanet may harbour alien life D

he recently discovered cold super-Earth exoplanet orbiting around the red dwarf Barnard -- the second closest star system to Earth -- has the potential to harbour primitive life, says a study. Barnard b (or GJ 699 b) is a super-Earth with a minimum of 3.2 Earth masses. It orbits its red star every 233 days near the snow-line, a distance where water freezes. Although likely cold (-170 degrees centigrade), it could still have the potential to harbour primitive life if it has a large, hot iron or nickel core and enhanced geothermal activity, said researchers from the Villanova University in the US. “Geother mal heating could support ‘life zones’ under its surface, akin to subsurface lakes found in Antarctica,” said Edward Guinan, Astrophysicist at the varsity. “We note that the surface temperature on Jupiter’s icy moon Europa is similar to Barnard b but because of tidal heating, Europa probably has liquid oceans under its icy surface,” Guinan added. The results were an-

nounced at the 233rd meeting of the American Astronomy Society (AAS) in Seattle. Although very faint, it may be possible for Barnard b to be imaged by future very large telescopes, according to Guinan. “Such observations will shed light on the nature of the planet’s atmosphere, surface, and potential habitability,” he said. The most significant aspect of the discovery of Barnard’s star b is that the two nearest star systems to the Sun are now known to host planets. “This suppor ts previous studies based on Kepler Mission data, inferring that planets can be very common throughout the galaxy, even numbering in the tens of billions,” said co-author Scott Engle from the varsity. “Also, Barnard’s Star is about twice as old as the Sun -- about nine billion years old compared to 4.6 billion years for the Sun. The universe has been producing Earth-size planets far longer than we, or even the Sun itself, have existed.” (IANS)

o you know how we recall a past event? According to a new study, when retrieving information, the human brain reconstructs that experience in reverse order indicating that it focuses first on recovering the 'gist' and recalls more specific details later. The study found that when we initially see a complex object, the visual details -- patterns and colours -- are perceived first. Whereas, abstract, meaningful information that tells us the nature of the object we are looking at comes later. "We know that our memories are not exact replicas of the things we originally experienced. Memory is a reconstructive process, biased by personal knowledge and world views - sometimes we even remember events that never actually happened. But exactly how memories are reconstructed in the brain, step by step, is currently not well understood," said lead author, Juan Linde Domingo, doctoral student at the University of Birmingham in Britain. The researchers reconstructed the memory retrieval process, using brain decoding techniques which make it possible to track when in time a unique memory is being reactivated in the brain. During the study, participants

saw images of specific objects and then learned to associate each image with a unique reminder word, for example the word 'spin' or 'pull'. They were later presented with the reminder word and asked to reconstruct the associated image in as much detail as possible. The findings, published in Nature Communications, showed

that the participants retrieved higher-level, abstract information, shortly after they heard the reminder word. "It suggests they will become more abstract and gist-like with each retrieval," added Domingo. The team is currently also looking in more detail at how and where the brain reconstructs more complex memories. (IANS)

Settlement of Indo-Naga talk

Sir,

The Framework Agreement which was said to have been signed on August 3, 2015 is recognition of the uniqueness of the Naga political situation and history. If so, it is recognition of the Memorandum of the Naga elders submitted to the Simon Commission in 1929 and the Naga Plebiscite in 1951. If the Memorandum submitted to the Simon Commission and the Plebiscite are recognized, separate Naga entity is recognized. If separate entity of the Nagas is recognized, having own flag and constitution is not another issue to be taken up but it is already inclusive in the recognition of the separate entity of the Nagas. There is no ambiguity. Besides this, sharing sovereignty is to be worked out in the best interest of both sides. The movement of the Nagas for their nationhood is not a rebellion or insurgency against India or any State but this is their aspiration to live together as a fraternal nationhood under the same roof of entity. So on the part of the Nagas, it should be a movement with the fear of God and it should not be regarded as hostility by any one. Rev.L.Suohie Mhasi, (rev.suohie_mhasi@yahoo.com)

BEST bus strike finally called off

about 25 lakh bus commuters, was the longest-ever in the BEST’s history. Around 32,000 BEST workers were on strike for various demands, including pay hike, revision of the pay scale of juniorlevel employees and merger of loss-making BEST’s budget with that of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) so that the cash-rich civic body could shore up the BEST’s finances. A state appointed high-powered committee earlier this week suggested that the BEST employees’ salary be hiked in ‘10 steps’ as an interim measure. B E S T Wo r k e r s ’ Union’s counsel Neeta Karnik said Wednesday

that this was acceptable to the employees, but they wanted an independent mediator to resolve the issues. The union and the BEST management agreed on retired high court justice F I Rebello as the mediator. A division bench of Chief Justice N H Patil and Justice N M Jamdar said in the order that the mediator will discuss demands of the employees within three months. The court also noted that “the situation should not have been brought to this extent” and the BEST and BMC “should show more consideration towards the BEST workers”. “It is not easy for fam-

Amit Shah diagnosed with swine flu

NEW DELHI, Jan 16 (AGENCIES): BJP’s national chief Amit Shah is down with swine flu and is being treated at AIIMS in the national capital. Hope to get well soon, the BJP chief tweeted. On Tuesday, Amit Shah had offered prayers at the Jagannath Temple in Ahmedabad. “I have been diagnosed with swine flu for which the treatment is underway. With God’s grace and your love and wishes, I hope to recover soon,” he said. According to sources at AIIMS, the BJP leader was admitted following complaints of chest congestion and breathing issues around 9 pm. The doctors are monitoring his condition under

the supervision of AIIMS director Randeep Guleria, sources said. Home Minister Rajnath Singh was among the first ones to react and tweeted Amit Shah that he will pray for his speedy recovery. Swine flu is a respiratory disease caused by a strain of the H1N1 influenza. The symptoms are similar to those of a seasonal flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches and

chills. The BJP has planned to launch its election campaign in West Bengal with a series of rallies by Amit Shah. His first rally is expected to be held in Malda on January 20, a day after Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s mega show. But it remains to be seen if the BJP chief will be up and about by then. Reports suggest that union minister Arun Jaitley is also unwell. The 66year-old finance minister is in the US for a “regular medical check-up” following a kidney transplant last year, news agency Reuters reported. Finance Ministry sources said the minister “is expected to be back by the weekend”.

Citizenship Amendment Bill anti-Naga, says LH

(From p-1) LH further said that the leaders, instead of making use of the provisions “become restless and in their hurry to please the Central leaders, accept Acts and policies without caring to ponder on the consequences of adopting such policies, e.g. the Women Reservation.” In spite of having all the provisions, LH said Nagaland became the first state to adopt the 33% Women Reservation. “Also when we have the Clause 12 of 16-Point Agreement, for Restoration/Transfer of Reserved Forests (taken out to Assam from Naga Hills earlier), back to Nagaland, why bother to counter in the Supreme Court in which Assam had filed a Litigation in 1998, for claims of Naga lands,” the Hoho said. Further, slamming the leaders, the LH said that despite reactions from different organizations against the Bill, the Naga leaders, instead of making efforts to oppose the Bill, have “exhibited their usual character of choosing power and money; and not their people!” While taking note of the recent arguments, accusations and counter accusations among the leaders in the media, the Hoho reminded the Naga leaders to bear in mind that the “Nagas have not elected them to argue among themselves, but to do our welfare and to protect us.”

NEW DELHI, JAN 16 (IANS): Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, who left for the US for medical treatment, has been diagnosed with a rare kind of cancer and may not be able to present this years Interim Budget on February 1, sources said. Jaitley had left for the US on Sunday for what was believed to be a medical check-up relating to his kidney ailment. However, sources said he was diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma, a rare type of cancer, and decided to go for treatment in New York. There was no word on when he was likely to return, but some sources said he was expected back on January 19, but others said it could be later. Officials have been tight-lipped about the trip which has come at a time when the Finance Ministry is busy with the preparations of the vote-on-account budget to be presented in the Lok Sabha on February 1. By convention, an interim budget normally does not contain fresh proposals, especially relating to taxation measures. But the coming vote-on-account budget may spring some surprises like increase in the exemption threshold for income tax assessees and some measures to address agrarian unrest.

(From p-1) Stressing on the importance of maintaining original designs and motifs, the MP urged the promoters not to modify traditional Naga shawls and other clothings. He said “People world over were in search of origin stuff. So, let us return to the origin and preserve our traditional items without modifying them.” I n h i s g r e e t i n g s, Chakhesang Public Organisation’s newly-inducted president Mikha Kenye urged the people to maintain peace and unity to march ahead. He also sought public support and co-operation to begin his new tenure. The welcome

ilies to survive with low salaries,” Chief Justice Patil said. As per the BMC’s previous submissions, a ‘one-step’ increase in pay amounts to around Rs 330 per month. The state government last week invoked the Maharashtra Essential Services Maintenance Act against the employees. It had also asked them to vacate houses given by the undertaking. Union leader Rao said while addressing the workers that as per the assurance given by the management, no penal action will be taken against those who took part in the strike. The BEST has a fleet of over 3,200 buses which criss-cross the metropolis and also operate in the neighbouring Thane district and Navi Mumbai. It is the second-biggest mode of transport in Mumbai after local trains which ferry over 80 lakh passengers daily. The BEST Kamgar Sena, the Sena-affiliated union, had withdrawn from the strike soon after it started and claimed that its 11,000 members will report back to the work. However, hardly any buses plied on the roads even after that.

Mumbai, Jan 16 (PTI): The nine-day-long BEST bus strike was called off Wednesday, bringing relief to lakhs of Mumbai commuters. The BEST buses began plying on the roads soon after the announcement of the strike being called off in the afternoon. During a hearing on a PIL on the strike at the Bombay High Court earlier in the day, the BEST Workers’ Union agreed to withdraw the stir after accepting the ‘10-step’ increment offered by the management of the civic-run Bombay Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) undertaking as an interim measure. Union leader Shashank Rao later addressed agitating workers and their families at Wadala Depot of the BEST and announced withdrawal of the strike. “We accepted the 10step gradation pay hike before the court and agreed to resolve remaining issues through a mediator,” Rao said. Rao earlier met other senior union leaders and got their consent to call off the strike, which began on January 8. The strike, which caused inconvenience to

New Delhi, Jan 16 (PTI): The government Wednesday approved a capital infusion of Rs 6,000 crore in state-owned Exim Bank to expand its business. The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, also approved an increase in the bank’s authorised capital from Rs 10,000 crore to Rs 20,000 crore. Briefing reporters about the decisions, Railway Minister Piyush Goyal said it has been decided to issue recapitalisation bonds by the Government of India to the tune of Rs 6,000 crore for capital infusion in Export-Import Bank of India (Exim Bank). “The equity will be infused in two tranches of Rs 4,500 crore in 2018-19 and Rs 1,500 crore in 2019-20 respectively,” he said.

The NYT report said that the process of choosing Kim’s successor is being overseen by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and Ivanka, whose role in the process was announced by the White House Monday. Ivanka’s “role in the process drew some criticism from ethics watchdogs Monday, which said it could pose a conflict of interest for the president’s daughter to be involved in international economic matters when she has not completely divested from her assets,” the report said.

Other candidates being considered for the position of World Bank head are under secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs David Malpass and president of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation Ray Washburne. The US president cannot install the World Bank leader, who must be approved by the bank’s board, but has traditionally placed his nominee in the job. Tr ump has already faced harsh criticism for appointing his daughter as a senior White House advisor.

New York, Jan 16 (PTI): India-born Indra Nooyi, the former CEO of global beverage giant PepsiCo, is being considered by the White House for the new World Bank president, according to a leading American daily. Nooyi, 63, stepped down as PepsiCo’s chief last August after leading the company for 12 years. She “has been courted as an administration ally by Ivanka Trump, the president’s eldest daughter who is playing a role in the selection of a nominee,” the The New York Times said. The report, which cited several people familiar with the process, said the decision-making process for the top post at the World Bank is “fluid and in its initial stages and early front-runners and candidates often fall off the radar, or withdraw from consideration, before the president (Donald Trump) makes his ultimate pick”. It is unclear whether Nooyi would accept the nomination if chosen by the Trump administration.

Some 10.9 percent said they were subjected to gestures or use of body language of a sexual nature, which embarrassed or offended them, and 10.1 percent were touched in way that made them feel uncomfortable. More than half of those experienced sexual harassment said it happened in an office environment, while 17.1 percent said it happened at a work-related social event. Two out of three harassers were male, according to the survey. Only one in three people said they took action after experiencing sexual harassment. Guterres said the report contained “some sobering statistics and evidence of what needs to change to make a harassment-free workplace real for all of us.” “As an organization founded on equality, dignity and human rights, we must lead by example and set the standard,” he said. The United Nations has tried to increase transparency and strengthen how it deals with such accusations over the past few years after a string of sexual exploitation and abuse accusations against U.N. peacekeepers in Africa.

UNITED NATIONS, Jan 16 (Agencies): One third of U.N. staff and contractors experienced sexual harassment in the past two years, according to a report released by the United Nations on Tuesday. According to Reuters, the online survey, carried out by Deloitte in November, was completed by 30,364 people from the United Nations and its agencies - just 17 percent of those eligible. In a letter to staff, SecretaryGeneral Antonio Guterres described the response rate as “moderately low.” “This tells me two things: first - that we still have a long way to go before we are able to fully and openly discuss sexual harassment; and second that there may also be an ongoing sense of mistrust, perceptions of inaction and lack of accountability,” he wrote. The survey comes amid the wider “Me Too” movement around the world against sexual harassment and assault. According to the report, 21.7 percent of respondents said they were subjected to sexual stories or offensive jokes, 14.2 percent received offensive remarks about their appearance, body or sexual activities and 13 percent were targeted by unwelcome attempts to

May, who survived a no-confidence vote by her own Conservative Party in December, has told MPs she will return to the Commons with an alternative plan next week, provided she survives the confidence vote. “The House has spoken and this government will listen,” she said on Tuesday night, offering cross-party talks to determine a way

It is clear that the house does not support this deal but tonight’s vote tells us nothing what it does support. “Nothing about how, or even if, it intends to honour the decision the British people took in a referendum Parliament decided to hold,” she said. “I ask members on all sides of the house to listen to the British people who want this matter settled and work with the government to do just that,” May said. According to the Britain’s parliamentary procedure, when a bill is rejected by the MPs, the prime minister has three sitting days to return to Parliament with a Plan B.

May, 62, has spent two years negotiating the divorce plan aimed at bringing about an orderly Brexit and setting up a 21- month transition period to negotiate a free-trade deal with Brussels. Her deal included both the withdrawal agreement on the terms on which the UK leaves the EU and a political declaration for the future relationship. But it faced opposition

Thus, British media has predicted that Prime Minister May may survive Wednesday’s confidence vote. Hardline Brexiteers and Remainers opposed the agreement for different reasons. Many feared that Britain could lock itself into an unfavourable trading relationship with the EU. Over 100 lawmakers of May’s Conservative party both Brexiteers and Remainers - overwhelmingly voted against the deal, leading to the worst parliamentary defeat for a government in recent British history. The crushing defeat also marks the collapse of her two-year strategy of forging an amicable divorce with close ties to the EU after the March 29 exit. Following her defeat in the House of Commons, May said that the MPs have

London, Jan 16 (PTI): In a humiliating defeat for embattled British Prime Minister Theresa May, her divisive divorce deal with the European Union was overwhelmingly rejected by MPs, triggering a noconfidence motion against her government. May’s bid to get the Withdrawal Agreement, struck between London and Brussels, was rejected by 432 votes to 202 - a majority of 230, the biggest defeat ever suffered by a British premier in modern history. Within minutes after the defeat of the Brexit deal in the House of Commons, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said he has tabled a formal motion of confidence in the government, backed by other opposition leaders, which MPs would vote later on Wednesday. Corbyn described Prime Minister May’s defeat “catastrophic” and said backing the “botched and damaging” deal would be a “reckless leap in the dark” for the UK.

The site added: “We also don’t allow pranks that cause children to experience severe emotional distress, meaning something so bad that it could leave the child traumatized for life.” YouTube said it had worked closely with child psychologists on what might constitute a traumatic experience. It did not post a full list, but said it included scenarios where a child is tricked into believing their parents had died. The new rules come in response to several instances of pranks and stunts that are seriously ill-advised at best, and deadly at worst.

inger Rihanna has taken her father to court in the US, accusing him of exploiting her name to further his entertainment business. She claims her father, Ronald Fenty, and his business partner have falsely suggested that she is connected to their firm, Fenty Entertainment. Their conduct has misled the public and hurt her Fenty brand, the name of her beauty business, the lawsuit says. Fenty Entertainment did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Rihanna has asked the court to bar the firm from using the Fenty name for business. T h e l aw s u i t s ay s Rihanna owns trademarks in the US for the Fenty name and has sent formal “cease and desist” requests. “Defendants continue to this date to use their

misrepresentations for their commercial advantage and to mislead the public,” it says. “This fraudulent conduct harms not only plaintiffs but the public at large and requires judicial intervention.” Fenty, with whom Rihanna has said she has a difficult relationship, started the firm in California in 2017 with business partner Moses Perkins, according to the lawsuit. A press release, posted on the firm’s website until “at least October 2018” announced the launch of the firm “with” Rihanna, despite the fact that she was not involved, it says. In another instance, Fenty Entertainment entered negotiations for Rihanna to perform 15 shows in Latin America for about $15m, without her authorisation, according to the complaint. (BBC)

The move comes in response to so-called “challenges” that have sometimes resulted in death or injury. The Google-owned video sharing site said such material had “no place on YouTube”. However, the firm appears to be failing to enforce its existing rules on harmful content. A Buzzfeed report detailed how images depicting, or alluding to, bestiality were still appearing on the site - despite a pledge last April to remove the material. Some of the videos had attracted many millions of views. YouTube said it “worked to aggressively enforce our monetisation policies to eliminate the incentive for this abuse”.

Khelo India: Maharashtra on top

Girls under-17, 10m air pistol gold medalist Esha Singh Srihari Nataraj from Karnataka in action at Khelo India from Telangana’ in action at Khelo India Youth Games. Youth Games.

PUNE, JAN 16 (AGENCIES/PTI): Maharashtra’s impressive run at the Khelo India Youth Games refused to slow down as the hosts stayed way ahead than the fellow states in the overall medals tally. The state had won 177 medals at the time of writing. Those included 64 gold, 51 silver, and 62 bronze medals. Delhi came in at the second place with 121 medals of which 47 are gold, 31 silver, and 43 bronze. Last editions champions, Haryana, are placed third in the table with 110 medals comprising of 37 gold, 35 silver, and 38 bronze. Srihari Nataraj, Karnataka’s swimming prodigy, emerged as the most prolific gold medal winner of the tournament this year around. Nataraj ended his Khelo India campaign with 7 golds, two of which came yesterday. His teammate, Likhit too had a productive tournament with 5 gold medals and a bronze. Elsewhere, Patialabased Sartaj Singh had to hang on his slender lead to get the better of the National Junior Champion Aishwarya Pratap Singh Tomar of Madhya Pradesh

and win the 50m 3-position rifle competition gold medal. Swadesh Mondal, who had started the day with 4 medals in his kitty, won his fifth, a silver, in the U17 boy’s breaststroke event. The 13-year-old Esha Singh of Telangana and Harshada Nithave of Maharashtra won the girls U-17 and U-21 10m air pistol gold medals respectively. The host’s lead was further extended after Snehal Bhongale and Ashwini Malage gave the team two more gold medals in the weightlifting competition. Karnataka’s Akshata Basvani Kamati won a gold medal in the Under-21 age 71-kg category in weightlifting at the Khelo India Youth Games. Kamati, who is the daughter of a farmer, seemed nowhere close in the run for the gold initially. She had lifted a modest 73 kilogram in the snatch and then failed twice at 76 kilograms, while her main rival and fellow Karnataka lifter Lavanya Rai (79) as well as Arunachal Pradesh’s PH Roshni with 77, built a healthy lead. Nonetheless, Kamati

opened her account with a successful attempt at the 100 kg weight in the clean & jerk. She then improved her show with 103 kilograms before failing to lift the 107 kg weight in the next two attempts. Kamati, who hails from Belgaum, credited her father’s encouragement towards the sport for her success. Meanwhile, Odisha was crowned as the champions of the Under-21 Boys hockey that was contested in Mumbai.

Mitika, Raj Sahiba, Chanu enter semis of U-17 boxing

Maharashtra’s Mitika Gunele, Raj Sahiba of Haryana and Manipur’s Babyrojisana Chanu justified their international reputation by comfortably entering into the semifinals of their weight categories in the girls under17 boxing at the Khelo India Youth Games here Wednesday. Mitika got the better of Haryana’s Anu Rani 4-1 in welter (66kg) category, while Sahiba defeated Haryana’s Divya after referee stopped the

bout in 2nd round. In the same category, Babyrojisana Chanu, a student of legendary Mary Kom, booked her place in the last four, a media release said. Among under-17 boys, Pune’s Akash Gorkha confirmed his medal by entering into last-four in the feather (57kg) category. Akash Gorkha’s father Ramesh works as a watchman. Under the watchful eyes of coach Umesh Jagdale, Akash Gorkha excelled in the sport quickly and started performing at the state and national level tournaments. He also won a silver medal in the 7th Asian Cup in Serbia. Aakash Gorkha, who is currently training with the Army Sports Institute, Pune, feels the training under Army coaches is too intense and surely played a role in his performance in the Khelo India. “I don’t have to worry about anything. We just put ourselves best during the training and during the bouts. That’s what we have been told and I am following the same,” the young boxer was quoted as saying in the release.

Saina, Srikanth in 2nd round of Malaysia Masters Kuala Lumpur, Jan 16 (PTI): Olympic medallist Saina Nehwal, Parupalli Kashyap and Kidambi Srikanth entered the second round at the Malaysia Masters here on Wednesday.

Like Saina, Kashyap too had a tough outing, against Denmark’s Rasmus Gemke. He had to dig deep to get the better of his opponent 19-21 21-19 21-10 in his men’s singles first round match. While Kidambi Srikanth took just 30 minutes to beat Angus Ka Long NG of Hong Kong 21-17 21-11.
