Delhi’s AAP Govt. in trouble: EC recommends disqualifying 20 MLAs NEW DELHI, JAN 19 (PTI): In a blow to Delhi’s ruling Aam Aadmi Party, the Election Commission today asked the President to disqualify 20 of its MLAs for holding offices of profit, setting the stage for their ouster from the Assembly.

The development does not threaten the AAP government as it has 66 MLAs in the 70-member Assembly.

Still, the BJP and Congress demanded that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal resign on moral grounds.

Reacting furiously to the EC order, AAP claimed the Chief Election Commissioner was trying to destabilize its government at the behest of the prime minister.

All these MLAs moved the Delhi High Court challenging the EC’s recommendation but Justice Rekha Palli refused to pass any interim order.

In its opinion sent to President Ram Nath Kovind this morning, the Election Commission said the MLAs, by occupying the post of parliamentary secretaries between March 13, 2015 and September 8, 2016, held office of profit, and were

liable to be disqualified as legislators, highly-placed sources said.

The AAP insisted that despite holding the office these MLAs did not take any salaries or perks.

The AAP launched an unrestrained attack on Chief Election Commissioner A K Joti, saying he was “repaying the debt” to Prime Minister Narendra Modi before his retirement on Monday, January 22.

Joti, an IAS officer of 1975 batch of Gujarat cadre, took charge as an election commissioner in 2015 before his elevation as CEC. The President is bound by the recommendation of the Commission. Under the rules, petitions to the President seeking disqualification of lawmakers are referred to the EC. The poll panel takes a decision and sends its recommendation to the Rashtrapati Bhavan which is accepted.

In the present case, the petition was made to disqualify 21 MLAs, but one resigned a few months back.

Once the president accepts the recommendation, by-elections will have to be

held for 20 Assembly seats.

The disqualification will not put into jeopardy Kejriwal’s government because of its huge majority in the Delhi assembly.

Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari lauded the EC’s action, saying it is a “moral defeat” for Kejriwal who should resign. He said the BJP stands prepared for elections “any moment”.

Delhi Congress president Ajay Maken also said the chief minister had lost the moral right to be in power. “Where is Lokpal?

The MLAs and Ministers enjoying perks of power and foreign travel-Where is political probity,” he tweeted.

The 20 MLAs set to be disqualified include a minister, Kailash Gahlot of Najafgarh constituency and high profile MLA Alka Lamba.

Late in the evening today, the Delhi High Court refused to grant interim relief to AAP. But it asked the ECI to inform the court

by January 22 whether any final communication has been sent to Kovind on the disqualification of the MLAs.

Congress plea to unite NSF to go ahead with mass rally Sumi, Sangtam bodies against communal forces appeal for peace at Sitimi Correspondent

DIMAPUR, JAN 19 (NPN): Describing NDPP’s move to form an alliance with the BJP as “a direct insult to the sentiments of the Christian communities”, the NPCC has appealed to the “secular minded parties” to join hands with Congress and salvage people and the state from the “grip of communal forces.”

Alleging that BJP was “known for persecuting Christians,” the NPCC through its media cell said “no Christians should vote to persecute Christians or in favour of NDPP-BJP alliance.”

Congress asserted that since the NDPP, till the other day before Neiphiu Rio joined, had affirmed to not join the communal forces but stand by the secular ideologies, Congress had agreed to work with the NDPP under a certain

understanding in the coming elections, either in the manner of alliance or merger with INC. Further, NPCC alleged that Neiphiu Rio as chief minister for 11 years was responsible for bringing BJP to the state and nurturing its growth. Also, holding Rio responsible for “systemising corruption, deficit and compromising with all evil activities in the state”, the NPCC added, “this was inherited by T.R. Zeliang and Dr. Shürhozelie without any course correction and allowing the BJP to dictate every sphere of government functioning.”

Congress said all three leaders and the NPF party were therefore fully responsible for “allowing communal party like the BJP to gain more foothold and destroy our traditions, culture and beliefs.”

KOHIMA, JAN 19 (NPN): Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) president, Kesosul Christopher said the federation will be going ahead with holding the proposed general mass rally to be held on January 23, 10.30 a.m. at Naga solidarity park Kohima. This was announced during a press conference held at NSF office, Kohima in the presence of the NSF secretary general Imtiyapang and other NSF officials on Friday.

Christopher stated that successive tenure officials of NSF had been participating in and sharing its stand on the political dialogues between the government of India and NNPGs. He recalled that last October, seven NSF delegates had extensive deliberations with Interlocutor for Naga talks, R.N. Ravi and had shared the desire of the Nagas for a solution to the protracted

Naga issue. He recalled that within the past few days many representations were submitted to the government of India by various frontal organizations, but to their dismay, ECI announced the elections regardless.

He further said Nagas had regarded the ongoing peace process and political dialogues with the utmost importance, but India’s government, through ECI, had arbitrarily imposed its will on the Nagas by declaring elections in the state.

He said the rally would be the initial step to appeal to the government of India for a solution and not elections. Further steps would be decided on during the presidential council and tribal hohos meeting. He urged all concerned Naga citizens to be part of the rally to express their concern and desire for an early solution. Christopher added that NSF was an organization of students working for unity

and glory of the Nagas. He refrained from replying to some write ups circulating in social media and asserted that NSF was not succumbing to duress or pressure from any organization, but it was working to contribute to the efforts for a lasting solution.

When asked why NSF was involving in political issues rather than in student concerns, the NSF officials said they are working hard for the welfare of student community and that they do not publicise everything in the newspapers. They recounted their recent activities which included working on education policy, fee structure of private institutions etc. NSF also said that Indo-Naga issue had a direct impact on the students’ and the youth’s future. The NSF officials also expressed discouragement on R.N. Ravi statement that the peace talks would resume after elections.

DIMAPUR, JAN 19 (NPN): Appealing for peace between members of Sumi and Sangtam communities, Sümi Hoho and United Sangtam Likhüm Pumji have urged displaced residents of Sitimi in Kiphire district to return and settle peacefully at their village.

The appeal was made after a joint coordination meeting between office bearers of Sümi Hoho and United Sangtam Likhüm Pumji held at Suruhuto town in Zünheboto district on Friday to deliberate and discuss the conflict at Sitimi village involving members of Sumi and Sangtam communities.

According to a joint statement issued by Sümi Hoho president, Hekhushe Shikhu and United Sangtam Likhüm Pumji president, T. Y Sangtam, the meeting resolved to appeal for calm

and peace between the two communities. Both the apex organisations would also work fervently together to ensure that law and order was maintained in the troubled areas, the statement added. The meeting also resolved to accept the invitation of the home commissioner to a joint meeting of Sümi Hoho, United Sangtam Likhüm Pumji and Sümi and Sangtam representatives of Sitimi, and let the Government of Nagaland decide on the issue.

It may be mentioned that following law and order situation in Sitimi area, the home commissioner through a notification dated January 2, 2018 promulgated Section 144 Cr.PC and Section 5 of the India Telegraph Act, 1885 to prohibit-bulk SMS of all mobile service providers and mobile internet/data service in Kihpire district.

NEW DELHI, JAN 19 (AGENCIES): As the Election Commission of India (ECI) announced the dates for Assembly polls in Nagaland, Meghalaya and Tripura, the BJP said that it had kept its options open for allies in Nagaland and was looking to form a government that would be “helpful in concluding the Naga Accord amicably”, reports The Hindu.

BJP general secretary in charge of the north-eastern States, Ram Madhav, told The Hindu that the resignation of former Nagaland Chief Minister and Lok Sabha MP Neiphiu Rio from the ruling Naga People’s Front (NPF) to head the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) had opened options for the BJP. “In Nagaland, the BJP has kept its options open at the moment. We are serious about bringing a stable

and development-focussed government in Nagaland.

What happened in the last three-four years was that the government has changed at least three-four times. We are looking for an option which would help us in taking forward and amicably concluding the Naga talks, which have progressed to a great extent. In the present government [with the NPF], our party was the junior partner, and the instability was because of infighting within the NPF. A stable government which is in tune with the Centre will be helpful to the State at this time.”

While the Naga elections are important to the Central government, considering the negotiations over the Naga Accord, for the BJP the real combat is in Tripura. “The contest in Tripura will be the battle

royale in this set of elections. therefore the current governTripura remains one of the ment needs to be voted out,” most backward areas, and he said.

Want stability in Nagaland: Sarma Convener of Northeast Democratic Alliance (NEDA), Himanta Biswa Sarma, said that NEDA partners have agreed to fight polls on its own and have a post poll alliance like Manipur.

NEDA is anti-congress platform formed after BJP’s spectacular victory in Assam in 2016.

Sarma said, “We are not going for any seat adjustment in Meghalaya rather we are fighting election separately. We have decided there will be Manipur type post poll alliance among the NDA partners.”

Expressing confidence that BJP will form government in two states, BJP’s Northeast India strategist

Sarma said in Tripura Left Front will be ousted while congress will defeated in Meghalaya. “In Nagaland we want stability.”

Sarma added, “In Nagaland we are trying to bring reconciliation between the Chief Minister, T R Zeliang, Dr Shurhozelie Liezietsu president of Naga Peoples Front (NPF) and Former Nagaland chief minister and Lok Sabha MP, Neiphiu Rio.” Sarma added, “Congress hardly has any presence in Nagaland. Zeliang is an old friend so is Rio, Shurhozelie is also old friend. We want stability in Nagaland and reconciliation among the leaders’ pre or post-election.”

Speaking on the theme, Rev. Kezo called upon the youth to respect the culture and to not forget their roots. He also encouraged the youth to respect

their parents, reminding them that blessings come from the parents and that “God gave our parents and their blessing comes from our God”.

Rev. Kezo also reminded the gathering that God sometimes tests us to make us stronger, and therefore one should not give up but continue to

have deeper faith in him.

He said ‘God listens to you and don’t give up on Him, and He will give you what you want’. Calling upon the youth to live a responsible life, he reminded them that a true Christian should not limit itself to the church alone.

The significance of the cross is that it is the

symbol of our faith and reminded the Catholic youth not to lose their faith no matter how many trials and temptations they faced.

He further reminded about the importance of Rosary prayer and urged them to make use of it.

D IMA P U R , J AN 1 9 (NPN): SD Jain Girls College, Dimapur celebrated its 25th anniversary, Friday, at its college premises with the commissioner of police, Limasunep Jamir as chief guest. Calling the occasion a significant day for the college, the chief guest, in his speech, said that the day was a time to retrospect on the strengths and shortcomings of the past by remembering the pioneers of the college, their visions and hard work which had brought the college from the humble beginning of 54 students in the year 1993 to about 1200 students today.

Banks asked to monitor suspicious transaction in poll-bound M’laya

Nagaland Post, Dimapur SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 2018

Kuki chiefs threaten state govt with agitation Correspondent

IMPHAL, Jan 19: Kuki Chiefs’ Association Tengnoupal district Friday threatened to launch democratic forms of protest if the newly created district was not made fully functional as a full-fledged revenue district.

Tengnoupal district was among the seven new districts formed by previous Congress government on December 8, 2016.

Addressing a news conference in Imphal, leaders of Kuki Chiefs’ Association Tengnoupal district alleged that the state government has not been able to give necessary thrust to infrastructure development and ensure adequate manpower even after more than a year of upgrading Tengnoupal into a full-fledged district.

Association’s general secretary LS Seikho Baite alleged that owing to inadequacies in requisite infrastructure and manpower, the district administration was facing an uphill task in living up to the people’s expectation for speedy ex-

ecution of development programmes. Absence of infrastructure and manpower has been hindering in all fronts, particularly on the developmental front, he said.

Due to lack of accommodation arrangement, almost all the offices were not functioning well and the state government is yet to depute officials/personnel in adequate strength for proper administration in the district, he alleged. The general secretary stressed the need for expediting infrastructure development works in Tengnoupal district.

The state rural development minister, Th Biswajit has assured separation of DRDO and other offices from Chandel district, however none of the assurance has been fulfilled, he added.

The association has threatened that it would launch a series of democratic forms of protest if the state government fails to address their demands before the budget session of Manipur Assembly.

conduct has come in action after announcement of the poll.

The term of the present House expires on March 6.

“We have brought to their notice that the banks need to share information with respective deputy commissioners or district election officers regarding suspicious cash transaction through banks exceeding Rs one lakh,” chief electoral officer told reporters.

Banks have been told to also monitor transaction from account of candidate’s spouse or his dependents, as mentioned in the affidavit filed by them which is available on CEO’s website.

SLBC convener Bimal Deb Roy informed that these banks are having over 395 branches spread in 11 istricts of the state.

In the Garo Hills region alone, SBI is having 41 branches while MRB

is having 30 branches and MCAB 25 branches, he said.

The Chief Electoral Officer said that the banks will keep a close watch on the unusual and suspicious cash withdrawal or deposit of cash in a bank account exceeding Rs 1 lakh during the process of election, without any such instance of deposit or withdrawal during the last two months.

He said the banks will also look into the unusual transfer of amount

by RTGS from one bank account to the accounts of several persons in a district/constituency during the election process without any precedent of such transfer.

Besides, the banks have also been instructed to open dedicated counters for election purpose to facilitate prompt service to the candidates in opening of bank accounts and will be allowed for withdrawals

and deposits on priority.

“There is also a standing provision if withdrawal is more than Rs 10 lakh, such information should be passed on to the nodal officer of the income tax department for taking necessary actions under the income tax laws,” he said.

Kharkongor further said district election officers (DEOs) have also activated 180 flying squads who will be acting on tip offs on the movement of cash and take necessary actions.

He also said that the Election Commission will also be deploying Expenditure Observers in all the 60 constituencies.

“They will be deployed in expenditure sensitive areas,” he added.

Reacting to a query, the CEO said that money above Rs 50,000 will be seized and the person from whom it is found will be called for explanation.

Money chasers

ow long can the state-Nagaland- whose reputation has been taken to its nadir by a thoroughly corrupt people in the legislature and executive continue to suffer the ignominy of being regarded as among the most corrupt of states in India? Corruption in Nagaland has crossed all bounds with those involved coming in all shapes and colours. The theft or robbery of money is not restricted to cheating but even grabbing it from the old and infirm or widows or dependents. It is a matter of shame that several departments who have been named in various scandals have not cleared their names except issue some lame excuse.

Those who have accused the departments have done so after obtaining some information through RTI.One can name the Nagaland Public Rights Awareness and Action Forum (NPRAAF), ACAUT Nagaland, NVCO, NTC etc besides several other organisations who have brought out instances of clear and blatant corruption. In the latest such episode of corruption, two RTI activists- S.T.Yapang Longkumer and Odi Jamir- have exposed misuse of National Family Benefit Scheme(NFBS) fund under Mokokchung district. As per the NFBS, a cash of Rs.20,000 is given to the family of the dependents of the primary bread earner who should be between 18 to 60 years of age. The two RTI activists disclosed that as per the reply to their query, the Social Welfare department admitted that during 2014-15 a total of 475 beneficiaries were given cash under NFBS and out of which 50 were from Mokokchung district. On scrutiny and subsequent investigation, the two RTI activists revealed that in one of the villages, which recorded the highest number of NFBS beneficiaries the seven were not known to the villagers and even the names were unknown. It was the same in other villages in the district; where the beneficiaries were not known nor were their names also known as belonging to the village(s).As the shame of cases of corruption are being reported in the media through the information given by RTI activists and other organisations, there is no response from the government. This is not because the government ie, political rulers(ministers) and bureaucrats are feeling guilty but because they don’t care at all.

The corrupt know that everybody wants something and quickly. Easy money comes by stealing and robbing and depriving others. In the forthcoming election, the issue of corruption is hardly going to make any appearance because almost all candidates and parties cannot blame anyone. Instead, most will be more than relieved that at least they have something that deflects attention from the mess they have created. The saving face for the elected members is the Naga political issue which they will raise and also make promises to work for solution. Of course, Naga public are not going to buy the selling of the idea that politicians care so much for people that they are all for solution. Solution will come in its own way with or without any facilitation from the politicians. Solution does also encompass the delivery system supposed to be inherent within the system. Perhaps this is where the people need to ask their legislators who will be seeking another term.

DailyDevotion Vision and Darkness When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, horror and great darkness fell upon him. —Genesis 15:12 Whenever God gives a vision to a Christian, it is as if He puts him in “the shadow of His hand” (Isaiah 49:2). The saint’s duty is to be still and listen. There is a “darkness” that comes from too much light— that is the time to listen. The story of Abram and Hagar in Genesis 16 is an excellent example of listening to so-called good advice during a time of darkness, rather than waiting for God to send the light. When God gives you a vision and darkness follows, wait.

God will bring the vision He has given you to reality in your life if you will wait on His timing. Never try to help God fulfill His word. Abram went through thirteen years of silence, but in those years all of his self-sufficiency was destroyed. He grew past the point of relying on his own common sense. Those years of silence were a time of discipline, not a period of God’s displeasure. There is never any need to pretend that your life is filled with joy and confidence; just wait upon God and be grounded in Him (see Isaiah 50:10-11).

Do I trust at all in the flesh? Or have I learned to go beyond all confidence in myself and other people of God? Do I trust in books and prayers or other joys in my life? Or have I placed my confidence in God Himself, not in His blessings? “I am Almighty God…”— El-Shaddai, the All-Powerful God (Genesis 17:1). The reason we are all being disciplined is that we will know God is real. As soon as God becomes real to us, people pale by comparison, becoming shadows of reality. Nothing that other saints do or say can ever upset the one who is built on God.

Clean Election

ransparent, smooth and just governing system is a pre-requisite for progress, peace and all round development of any society. In a representative (parliamentary) democratic state or country, election becomes the cornerstone of setting up a strong viable and rejuvenating state.

Election should be understood as a time of choosing leaders who would not rule over us but who would sacrifice their time, energy and their resources for the well-being of the society.

The essence of clean election boils down to the ultimate behavior of the candidate and the voters has to be clearly and openly committed to adhere to the concept of clean election.

In other words, to act as per the code of Christian principles.

Voting for money or material gain which means selling our vote is one of the worst acts contrary to Christian values and principles as well as it is illegal. Voting is a birth right as a human being and selling off our vote means selling off our birth right which can be related to Esau in the book of Genesis who sells of his birth right to his brother for temporary pleasure and comfort. The Book of Genesis chapter 25 depicts Esau as a man who lives for the moment and does not take cost of his decisions into account. Living for instant gratification will not only rob our future comfort but also our spiritual blessings as well. To root out the corrupt practices of election is certainly not an easy task, we live in a situation where ‘everybody knew but nobody obeyed’ and ‘everybody said and nobody did’. Hence we need a strong hand to cure the malaise of election malpractices. No one is above the law and no one is above God. These are the few factors which result to unfair election; i) compulsion to win – many candidates adopt unfair means to win, they use money, muscle and gun power to win

ii) poverty – poverty is another reason that compels a person to accept money from the candidate to meet their basic needs iii) ignorance – many of the villagers do not know whether accepting money is exchange of vote is ethically right or wrong iv) greediness – it cannot be an exaggeration to say that many people in our society take money not because they are poor or out of ignorance but purely to accumulate wealth v) clan-ism/ group-ism/village-ism.

We keep demanding for good roads, schools, hospitals and electricity, etc. But on the other hand, we only want our candidate to win despite his lack of credibility. So long as we have this attitude and we don’t change, the society won’t change. Education would be one of the most important tools to promote clean election. Educating the people at the rural level would bring a huge difference. Choosing a man who is righteous before God will bring glory to our land and make us better than the mighty. Clean Election is based on the theme –“One man one vote”. One man one vote will promote the society of eligible citizens has the right to vote which is our “Birth Right”. Clean Election is to emphasize the importance of personal integrity in elected leaders as the basis for public integrity. Election is a good means of choosing a leader but because of the wrong practices of election, we hear painful stories of division among the families, clans and villages and the fabric of friendship and love is completely destroyed.

The climate of unity and love among the church members is being eroded by the negative forces of election. We must not make election as a battle ground rather cast our vote fairly and justly. We sell our vote just for some few cash and it’s like we are selling our rights for five years and which we struggle because of improper

road condition, bridges, schools, hospitals and vice versa. Fair Election is the pillar of good governance Clean Election is nothing but a call to all the people of all background to commit themselves to consciously elect their leaders with integrity without being manipulated through corruption or other unhealthy means. India as a democratic country, the government is the people for the people and by the people. It is a form of government which all the citizen have equal right in the decision.

Corrupt election result in poor governance, increasing poverty, crime and social instability which can lead to violence and wars. The sole purpose of clean election is to tell the truth, to fight for the truth, to stand for the truth and to bring positive change in our society. Election is the right means of choosing the right leaders to lead our state. In the past election, we have seen that money had been place at the top and God at the bottom. Candidates have used money to woe voters while on the other hand, voters demand money for their vote. Proxy voting was rampant. Proxy voting is stealing of another’s identity and that amount to impersonation. Many individual choose to select and vote for the candidate who spent more money during election. Nagaland is a land where almost all the politicians, candidates and voters are Christians. And this is the right place to do what is right according to the Biblical truth, avoiding all forms of mal-practices.

Let us pray and hope that clean election would prevail in this coming General State Assembly Election, and may our state be a land free of corruption where true democracy prevail. Let us challenge one another and “let us rise up and rebuilt”.

Demand of Tseminyu District: What lies behind and why it has to be?

T

he pending decision of our State Government towards the Rengma Nagas on its demand of up-gradation of Tseminyu sub-division into a full-fledged district has deeply saddened the said community. The different attitudes of the government towards the Rengmas for these long years and decades could be said, a big blow to the Rengma community. The kind treatment giving to the Rengmas at this hour is nothing but a total discrimination which is beyond expectation under any democratic set up of government. It is indeed, a matter of surprised that the government of the day has been trying to sidelined the demand and voice of the entire community by prolonging its decision.

Moreover, what the Rengmas demanding is all about a justice which is yet to be done by the government.

A justice which the community deserved for many good reasons. The Rengmas, as a community would once again make its stands clear that, it is not demanding or asking anything beyond its limit or beyond the capacity of the government. Therefore, the government should not make further judgement or excuse to prolong its decision over again and again. Why the government of the people is too reluctant towards this demand which is a genuine one? If one has to reflect the past response and action of our government on creation of other districts, things were being done or arranged under certain consideration. But today, what happens to our government when it comes to Rengmas? WHY? Can this be called a justice?

REFLECTION: i. WOKHA, Bench Court Chairman (1945) - already district. ii. ZUNHEBOTO, Bench Court Chairman (1947) - already district. iii. TSEMINYU, Bench Court Chairman (1948) - still sub-division. iv. PEREN, Bench Court Chairman (1949) - already district.

What about the Rengmas for Tseminyu district? What excuses the government still wants to make after these much years? The government, while giving an importance to other should not leave out the Rengmas under this condition of ‘Who cares and who not.’ Why is it that the

Operating procedure to handle bandhs

government has to let Rengmas cry for this much to ask for what it was supposed to be done long time back?

Not forgetting that, what brought our Naga society thus far, and at what position our Naga society stands today, is also because the Rengmas too were there yesterday along with the other Naga tribes working hand in hand, contributing to this society. Be it small or big, much or little, it was done for the Nagas.

The government attitude towards the tribe seems to be more or less like, the Rengmas came from nowhere and demanding what it was never supposed to be here, is a total discrimination and mistreatment to the tribe. The government should not forget that, Tseminyu is also another place from where the Rengmas took steps and decisions for the future of the Naga society. As meaningful and important our NAGA HISTORY IS TODAY, the Rengmas too had its role and touched in making it. After all, the government cannot be oblivious of the role played by the Rengmas for the cause of the Naga society. The government, ignoring the voice of the Rengmas at this point of time is an ignoring of the history of the Nagas on its part. What makes the government so hard to say YES, to the Rengmas this time again? WHAT WRONG OR CRIME HAD THE RENGMAS COMMITTED IN THE HISTORY OF THE NAGAS, that the government feels the Rengmas don’t deserve to get a district of their own at the hand of this, GOVERNMENT of the PEOPLE, By the PEOPLE, FOR the PEOPLE? What makes our government not willing to respond to the Rengmas in-spite of given repeated calls? There are many good reasons Tseminyu sub-division has to be and could be upgrade into a district. There is no reason it cannot be on the part of the government. It is a high time that the state government need to give enough attention to this one of the state’s oldest sub-division by upgrade it into district.

I hope and pray that our leaders shouldering the affairs of the government of the day would perform their duty by using the God’s given wisdom and bring justice to the Rengma community at the earliest.

T

he history of India and her struggle for independence has emerged as one of the most glaring subjects for scholars and alike in the study of democracy and non-violence. It is therefore not surprising to find words from an Indian language which has become part of a universal or global language in the polity and functioning of the state. Yes, word like ‘Bandh’ has unfortunately evolved into something of a cottage industry. The frequency at which bandhs are being called for begs the question - Are we calling for a bandh as a last resort, after having pursued other subtle avenues like a signature campaign, silent procession, road march or maybe even a Geraoh? Has it become the only means of presenting our pleas and problems to the government?

It is disappointing the continuation of this trend only seems to grow more. One can see why bandhs have become a favoured tool- it is swift and instant. It is however prudent to take note that considering it as a quick-fix means of treatment, the government is compelled to treat the immediate symptom, not the actual cause.

Forget about political right, forget about legality, and forget about justice- As humans inherently created with a sense of right and wrong does it do justice for that sick person whose hope of survivability is smudged for want of better medical care outside the city. Have we given any thought about those families whose survivability depends on the earning of a daily wage labourer? Are we not depriving a Naga Brother the right to feed his family?

While some might shrug off the guilt by consoling oneself that the bandh is just for a day or two, that it is for the greater good, that it’s a people cause etc and etc- not trying to be melodramatic here, but in case of a highway bandh have we considered the plight of an only son trying to make it home to see his dying mother one last time? What about the fate of that educated unemployed youth who couldn’t reach a particular destination for a job interview thereby

missing out on an opportunity for employment which might have been coincidently the only chance he will ever have??

Can the leaders of the bandh bear the responsibility of providing food for the daily labourer and his children? Will they bear the responsibility on the death of a person due to unavailability of medical facilities caused by their bandh? Who will console the plight of a poor mother crying not knowing how to reach her dead son in another city?

It is absurd that the fight for justice of one small group does injustice to a much larger bigger group. It is even more ridiculous that bandhs are actually used to tom-tom a “people’s cause” completely disregarding the fact that it is the common man who suffers as public transport grinds to a halt, establishments close out of fear of violence and people dare not venture out, again due to fear.

The Gauhati High Court had passed an order in 2010 deeming bandhs as illegal. The Supreme Court had also upheld a Kerala High Court ruling of 1997 terming ‘bandhs’ as unconstitutional.

Clearly the judiciary has played its part. It is now upto the executive to enforce the laws passed by the judiciary.

Any government worth its salt must develop an operating procedure to handle bandhs. The police, crowd control, emergency services like fire, and medical help-all need professionalism and training. A government that cannot ensure the smooth movement of vehicles and public transport probably isn’t serious about governing.

The anarchy in our highways when traffic is blocked for days because locals take the law into their own hands shows a breakdown in state machinery and efficiency.

In the end, the maturity of a state and its leaders is shown by the form of protests that takes place and by the orderly process the government has developed to address those problems.

The ball is now in the court of the government. Kuknalim!

Life is a journey, not a journey in Nagaland

T

he state of Nagaland is not a big and developed state compared to other states in India. I haven’t travel across the border of our state, yet I can see and visit the whole wide world in a bright daydream. Life of course is a journey which is acceptable universally. However, when common sense of Nagas is used and glimpsed thoroughly and carefully, it would surely produce out that ‘Life is a tourney’ in Nagaland- tussling inside the one kitchen (Partyless Govt).

Why, how and what makes Life a tournament?

We don’t really need a pause for a deep breath to answer this, cause every person is well-versed particularly about the daily happenings in his own state and it has now become as the common sickness .

It is crystal clear that Leaders are ingeniously smart enough in waging the political tourney from one and the same party which seems to be a complicated episode. These drama kings are completely confusing entire people with their maneuver game. Perhaps, we can call them deceiver who only knows how to manipulate beloved laymen. Actually, Nagaland Government is super-villain, they are hyperactive to reconcile and then confront to latter issues.

All the top significant problems are considered as the thrash and leave it un-burnt in waste bin.

Whereas, they top up all those useless problem’s because it is profitable for them. To reiterate a line from the previous article, “our governments are the roleplayer of Game of Thrones, and letting innocent people to play Game of Thorns”.

Don’t need to be overjoyed when it rains in Nagaland because it is only a tear of agony, despite tears of joy.

And instead of recommending small blueprints to underdogs (unemployed), big and small jobs are opportune and go to the undeserved men

hands through dirty backings.

Also the journey of Naga people career have been blocking by the political tourney in Nagaland. Few Politicians do a poison spoon-feeding to some big Students Organizations, which results defunct to a very Union body affecting multi-Organization with the diplomacy (political) symptoms.

What is more, celebration of 2017 Christmas and New Year had gone happily and warmly. But Naga people who are staying far away from main Towns and cities are suffering like hell due to transportation problem and failing to attend the classes or works on time.

God, what a problematic state!

You pay heedless to maintain Roads and now you are not aware of issuing the Public Transports. There are private entrepreneurs who work hard to earn for living, they are doing their parts enthusiastically.

There are no potholes up above from the deplorable roads, yet even the Chopper

service is unavailable. I wish I was born with a pair of strong wings to fly over to my destination.

Dear Concern Department, the condition of routes are probably pathetic, but that’s not our mistake. Therefore, we earnestly request to provide first class condition Nagaland State Transport, though the Government might be paralyzed and corrupted every now and then, we rightfully want what we want since it is meant for a Public Property.

How long you would go on vexing students?

Students are fed up and almost going to puke with your contaminated justifications.

Thus and such, it is of unstoppable justice, do inject such Justice into your veins and show us the true vision to build up the State systematically.

After all, Life is a journey for rational beings, so enjoy every ride but not on roads Zukhathong Peter kvz Yim, Pungro, Kiphire

Reader’s Post

Sir,

An appeal from a citizen of Dimapur

With the state assembly elections bound to take place, in spite of all the ‘solution before elections’, I’m sure all the respective political parties are gearing up for the grand show.

With regard to this, I would like to make an earnest request to all the political parties, especially to the youth wings: Please maintain civility whilst going around campaigning. Don’t go around speeding down the dusty roads and honking like chimpanzees (or savages, whichever you prefer). Please don’t disturb the ‘almost peaceful’ atmosphere. I’m bringing this issue up because it is always the same story every elections.

One must know that children are always the most affected in such situations. I would also appeal to the city police and administration to put into place proper mechanisms to prevent such hooliganism. The liberty of the citizens must not be disturbed.

I Longkumer Reader’s note: Articles or letters published in any of the columns do not reflect the view of this newspaper nor that of the Editor in any manner.

TRAI recommends in-flight Internet services NEW DELHI, JAN 19 (IANS): The Indian telecom regulator on Friday recommended that both Internet access and mobile phone calls should be permitted on board aircraft in Indian airspace.

“The operation of mobile communication on aircraft (MCA) services should be permitted with minimum height restriction of 3,000 metres in Indian airspace,” the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) said.

This means beyond 3,000 metres phone calls can be made or received and Internet services can be accessed. The height restriction is placed to avoided accessing the terestrial mobile networks. The TRAI said to promote the adoption of

in-flight connectivity, IFC service providers should be allowed to be set up at a flat annual token licence fee of Re 1. The framework recommended for IFC services in Indian airspace should be made applicable to all types of aircrafts such as commercial airlines, business jets and executive aircrafts, it said.

TRAI said it had arrived at the recommendation after analysing the comments received from consultations and open house discussions on the issue.

The sector regulator said Internet services through Wi-Fi onboard should be made available when electronic devices are permitted to be used only in flight/airplane mode. “It is good set of recommenda-

It also reminded the states that maintaining law and order was their responsibility and it should discharge it if any attempt was made by the “selfappointed guardians of history” to obstruct the screening of the film.

Earlier in November last year, the top court while rejecting the plea seeking to block the release of the film “An Insignificant Man”, based on AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal, had said, “Courts should be extremely slow in passing restrain order” as there can’t be curbs on the freedom of speech and expression.

They said that there are also suggestions to leave the fare differentials for the zonal railways to decide on as they can take the decision based on local demand and supply ratio.

The committee has also recommended that instead of having flat fares, the railways should increase fares during festive seasons, and reduce them during lean months. The committee, the sources said, has also recommended premium charges for overnight trains and trains with pantry cars.

The committee has also said that passengers will have to pay more for choosing lower berths, just like air travellers pay more for front-row seats.

However, officials say that senior citizens, people with disabilities and pregnant women could be allotted the seats free of charge.

The committee has also suggested that fares be increased for those trains which reach their destinations at “convenient” times such as early morning as against those that arrive at “odd hours” for example between 0000 and 0400 hours and 1300 and 1700 hours, the officials said.

NEW DELHI, Jan 19 (PTI): Just like air travellers, railway passengers planning their journey in advance could get cheaper deals, if the recommendations of a fare review committee are approved by the Railway Board.

The committee, which submitted its report earlier this week, has suggested graded discounts depending on the number of vacant seats in a train, sources said.

Similar to the modus operandi of airlines, which offer heavy discounts to passengers if they book their tickets months in advance, the committee, officials said recommended discounts from 50 per cent to 20 per cent depending on the number of vacant seats available at the time of booking.

The panel has also proposed discounts for tickets booked after chart-

He said online submission of claims and settlements was possible in case of Aadhaar-seeded UAN holders. “Employees will not require transferring their PF account to the new employer as with Aadhaar-seeded UAN numbers, transfer will happen automatically and seamlessly without any intervention of the member,” Rai said.

Kolkata, Jan 19 (PTI): The Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) today said it will be able to eliminate multiple account numbers of an individual once the process of seeding Aadhaar is complete.

“Aadhaar seeding and bank account linking will help do away with multiple provident fund accounts, once merger of accounts happens with the help of Aadhaar seeding,” Additional Central PF Commissioner S B Sinha told PTI. He said bank account linking will help members to remotely manage accounts and for claim settlements.

In this transaction, WhatsApp will act as the top layer that will identify the sender and the receiver in the back end. Since its payments platform is in sync with the banks, it will also identify the bank account of the customers.

Finally, UPI will help settle the transactions.

While other money transferring apps, such as Tez and PhonePe have crossed 10 million downloads on Google Play Store, Paytm boasts of more than 100 million downloads. All these platforms are incentivizing users to transact on their UPI platforms. If India is able to achieve the level of other countries’ in digital payments, it will only show the potential that app-based payments have in a country where the usage of the smartphone is growing rapidly and the central bank is promoting instant settlements in a major way.

Mumbai Jan 19 (PTI): The Securities Appellate Tribunal Friday refused to grant a stay on the two-year Sebi ban on audit major Price Waterhouse (PW) to undertake new clients.

On January 10, the markets watchdog Sebi had banned the auditor for its alleged complicity in the multi-crore Satyam scam.

Posting the matter for further hearing on February 13, SAT, however, today clarified that the audit major and its networking entities can continue serving its existing clients.

On finding it guilty in the Satyam fraud, Sebi had passed an order on January 10, restraining PW and its network entities from issuing audit certificates to any listed company in the country for two years. Subsequently, PW and its network firms moved the tribunal against the Sebi order.

At the hearing today, SAT refused to stay the ban, saying it will hear the matter next on February 13.

However, the twomember SAT bench observed that the Sebi order “shall not come in the

the safety of the data. The final step in the integration process involves testing the product among select users before it finally goes live.

The Facebook-owned messaging company got government approval to integrate with UPI back in July 2017. With this lucrative feature, WhatsApp will jump on the bandwagon with other global giants, including Google that is queued up to roll out their own versions of the instant payments facility, which is directly linked to banks.

Due to the high popularity of the app all across the country, WhatsApp’s payments feature has the ability to bring a huge segment of the country under the digital payments bracket.

Bankers, however, express their concern over the need to verify the security of data that needs to be addressed before the integration, especially with regard to data of bank

Mumbai, Jan 19 (PTI): Gold prices recovered by Rs 120 at the bullion market here Friday on a firm trend overseas amid fresh buying by local jewellers.

Elsewhere, silver ended flat owing to lower demand from consuming industries.

Standard gold (99.5 purity) rose up by Rs 120 to settle at Rs 30,025 per 10 grams as against Thursday’s closing level of Rs 29,905. Pure gold (99.9 purity) also moved up by a similar margin to end at Rs 30,175 per 10 grams as against Rs 30,055 earlier.

Silver (.999 fineness) fell by Rs 5 per kg to finish at Rs 38,885 compared to Rs 38,890 previously.

Globally, gold prices rose, supported by a weaker dollar amid worries about a possible US government shutdown, but the metal was still on track for its first weekly drop in six weeks.

Spot gold was up 0.4 per cent at USD 1,332 an ounce in early trade. Among other precious metals, silver advanced 0.5 per cent to USD 17.01 per ounce.

Rohingya refugees protest deportation

Rohingya refugees are seen in a refugee camp at no-man’s land at the BangladeshMyanmar border, in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh Jan 12, 2018. (Reuters/Tyrone Siu)

of a visit by UN special rapporteur Yanghee Lee to the camps in southeastern Bangladesh where around a million of the Muslim minority are now living.

Bangladesh has reached an agreement with Myanmar to send back the around 750,000 refugees who have arrived since October 2016 over the next two years, a process set to begin as early as next week.

But many Rohingya living in the crowded, un-

sanitary camps have said they do not want to return to Rakhine after fleeing atrocities including murder, rape and arson attacks on their homes.

Rights groups and the UN say any repatriations must be voluntary. They have also expressed concerns about conditions in Myanmar, where many Rohingya settlements have been burned to the ground by soldiers and Buddhist mobs.

Super blue moon will mark last of trilogy Washington, Jan 19 (IANS): For those who missed the full moon treat on January 1, a rare celestial treat awaits you on January 31, marking the last in a trilogy of supermoons. The first happened on December 3, 2017, NASA said in a report. A supermoon is a full moon at its closest point to the Earth on its orbit -known as perigee.

The January 31 full moon is special for three reasons: it’s the third in a

series of “supermoons”, and about 14 per cent brighter than usual. It’s also the second full moon of the month, commonly known as a “blue moon”, which happens every two and a half years, on average.

The super blue moon will pass through earth’s shadow to give viewers in the right location a total lunar eclipse.

While the moon is in the earth’s shadow it will take on a reddish tint, known

as a “blood moon”, Gordon Johnston, programme executive and lunar blogger at NASA Headquarters in Washington, NASA said in a statement.

It will feature a total lunar eclipse, with totality viewable from western North America across the Pacific to Eastern Asia.

For those living in North America, Alaska, or Hawaii, the eclipse will be visible before sunrise on January 31.

Washington, Jan 19 (IANS): The US has said that Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed, the mastermind of the Mumbai terror attack, should be prosecuted to the “fullest extent of the law” as Washington regards him as a terrorist.

Washington has sent a message to Islamabad to act against Saeed, said US State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert on Thursday. Pakistan Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi had earlier decided not to prosecute Saeed, referring to him as “Sahib” in an interview to Geo News earlier this week. He said there was no case against him in Pakistan.

Nauert, reacting to Abbasi’s remarks, said: “We regard him as a terrorist, a part of a foreign terrorist organisation. He was the mastermind, we believe, of the 2008 Mumbai attack which killed many people, including Americans as well.

China says US should not speak for other countries Beijing, Jan 19 (PTI): China Friday refuted criticism by a top US Navy official that it has become a “disruptive transitional force” in the Indo-Pacific region and asserted that America should not “speak for other countries”. Commander of the US Pacific Command Admiral Harry Harris, during a panel discussion at the Raisina Dialogue in New Delhi with Indian Navy chief Admiral Sunil

Lanba, said: “China is a disruptive transitional force in the Indo-Pacific. They are the owners of trust deficit”.

Harris asked how defensive would Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines be when China has staked claims on the waters also claimed by the ASEAN nations, comprising the former three countries, in an apparent reference to maritime disputes in the resource-rich South China Sea.

Pope Francis ‘slander’ comment angers Chile abuse victims Lo n d o n, Ja n 1 9 (Agencies): Pope Francis has triggered anger in Chile after accusing victims of a paedophile priest of slander.

Francis said there was “no proof ” for their claims that Bishop Juan Barros had covered up abuse by Father Fernando Karadima. “There is not one single piece of proof against him (Bishop Barros). It is all slander. Is that clear?” the Pope said.

One Karadima victim said the Pope’s earlier plea for forgiveness over clerical sex abuse was “empty”.

The Pope made his comments on Thursday before celebrating Mass outside the city of Iquique in northern Chile. “The day someone brings me proof against Bishop Barros, then I will talk,” the Pope told journalists.

Juan Carlos Cruz was one of the bishop’s accusers who was quick to condemn the Pope’s stance.

“As if I could have taken a selfie or photo while Karadima abused me and others with Juan Barros standing next to him watching everything,” he tweeted.

“These people are absolutely crazy, and @Pontifex (the Pope’s Twitter handle) is talking about reparation to the victims. Nothing has changed, and his plea for forgiveness is empty.”

Earlier in his Chile trip, Francis had met victims of sexual abuse by priests in the country. He cried with them and said he felt “pain and shame” over the scandal.

The US-based NGO Bishop Accountability says almost 80 members of Catholic clergy have been accused of child sex abuse in Chile since 2000.

The Church suffered a body blow in Chile in 2010 when Father Karadima was publicly accused of molesting several teenaged boys in the capital, Santiago, starting in the 1980s.

BHARAT SANCHAR NIGAM LIMITED (A Govt. of India Enterprise) O/o General Manager Telecom District Nagaland : Dimapur

Mr Cruz claims Bishop Barros was present when Father Karadima - then the bishop’s mentor - kissed and groped him and another boy.

While Bishop Barros has not been accused of abuse, the Pope has been criticised for appointing him bishop of Osorno in 2015.

Barros’s ordination ceremony had to be cut short over protests in the cathedral.

Father Karadima was found guilty by the Vatican of abusing teenage boys in 2011 and sentenced to a lifetime of “penance and prayer”. He never faced criminal prosecution in Chile as too much time had passed, but the judge who heard victims’ testimony in a year-long investigation described them as “truthful and reliable”.

Pope Francis arrived in Peru late on Thursday for a three-day visit which will conclude his two-nation South America trip.

DHAKA, Jan 19 (Agencies): Hundreds of Rohingya refugees staged protests in Bangladesh against plans to send them back to Myanmar, where a military crackdown last year sparked a mass exodus.

The refugees chanted slogans and held banners demanding citizenship and guarantees of security before they return to their home state of Rakhine in Myanmar.

The protest came ahead

The government has said it is building temporary camps to accommodate the returnees, a prospect feared

by Rohingya, said Mohibullah, a refugee and former teacher. “We want safe zones in Arakan (Rakhine) before repatriation,” he told AFP by phone from Cox’s Bazar, where the camps are located. “We want a UN peacekeeping force in Arakan. We want fundamental rights and citizenship. We do not want repatriation without life guarantees,” Mohibullah said.

Police said they were unaware of the protests.

A Bangladesh official said around 6,500 Rohingya currently living in no man’s land between the two countries would be among the first to be repatriated.

The repatriation deal does not cover the estimated 200,000 Rohingya refugees who were living in Bangladesh prior to October 2016, driven out by previous rounds of communal violence and military operations.

You won our hearts: Bollywood celebs thank Benjamin Netanyahu A

srael Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s bonding here with film celebrities -- who have described it an honour and privilege to meet him -- was lauded by Prime Minister Narendra Modi as “wonderful”.

Netanyahu met the celebrities at a gala “Shalom Bollywood” evening here on Thursday night.

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, Karan Johar,

M a d h u r B h a n d a r k a r, Vivek Oberoi, Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya RaiBachchan, Karan Johar, Subhash Ghai, Imtiaz Ali, Prasoon Joshi, Randhir Kapoor, Ronnie Screwvala, Raj Nayak and Sara Ali Khan were among some of the names from the film fraternity present at the event.

Karan tweeted a series of photographs of himself with Netanyahu, saying:

“A complete honour and privilege to meet with the honourable Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu... Such a wonderful evening with friends of the fraternity.”

Bhandarkar said it was “great attending presentation on history, culture and geodiversity of Israel along with film fraternity and had a pleasure interacting with Honorable Prime Minister of Israel Netanyahu and the

first lady.”

Vivek said it was an “incredible pleasure” to meet Netanyahu, who welcomed Bollywood to feature Israel’s natural beauty in its movies.

“You are an amazing ambassador for Israel, you won our hearts! Looking forward to visiting your beautiful country and experiencing the rich Israeli culture very soon,” Vivek tweeted.

Ghai was touched by the “delightful scene” when Netanyahu invited celebrities for a selfie and Amitabh helped him to take the selfie.

“A pleasant evening indeed,” he said, adding that he was glad Amitabh did not use the term Bollywood while welcoming Netanyahu. “Used the word Hindi cinema -- a real title of pride for Indian and Indian cinema,” Ghai added.

merican rapper 50 Cent says he doesn’t think rapper JayZ’s album “4:44” resonates with young people.

“Hip-hop culture’s connected to youth culture.

He just had the maturity bleed off into the material... It’s cool for me, like, in my car, I’m listening to it. But the kids, I don’t see them actually listening to it,” said 50 Cent.

The “Candy Shop” hitmaker, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, clarified his thoughts on the record, having previously said that the album was “too smart” shortly after its release in 2017, reports femalefirst. co.uk.

50 Cent enjoyed the track of the album himself, but also felt it was a little too cerebral for a lot of music fans. He also suggested it didn’t chime with traditional hip-hop culture.

“I felt like I was supposed to be wearing glasses and tie a f**king sweater around my waist. It was, like, Ivy League s**t.”

France Says ‘Au Revoir’ to the Word ‘Smartphone’

I

n an effort to keep pesky English words from creeping into the French language, officials in France have been coming up with alternatives to some of the more common phrases of the digital age. In the past, the official journal of the French Republic—the Journal officiel—has suggested “internet clandestin” instead of the term dark net.

It’s dubbed a casual gamer “joueur occasionnel” for messieurs and “joueuse occasionnelle” for mesdames.

To replace hashtag, it’s selected “mot-dièse.” Now, as the Local reports, the latest word to get the official boot in France is smartphone. It’s time to say bonjour to the “le mobile multifonction.”

The recommendation was put forth by the Commission d’enrichissement de la langue française, which works in conjunction with the Academie Française to preserve the French language. This isn’t the first time that the commis-

sion has tried to encourage French citizens to switch over to a Franco-friendly word for “smartphone.”

Previous suggestions included “ordiphone” (from “ordinateur,” the French word for computer) and “terminal de poche” (or pocket terminal). These, it seems, did not quite stick.

“Mobile multifonction” may not be the catchiest of terminologies, but “mobile” has been deemed an acceptable truncation.

The commission made a number of other lexical recommendations. Instead of smart TV, for instance,

the commission suggested that French speakers say “Televiseur connecté.” A relatively straightforward translation was offered for net neutrality: “neutralité de l’internet.”

Today’s guardians of the French language may be particularly concerned with tech phrases, but the battle against English influences has been waged for decades.

As Natasha Frost notes in Atlas Obscura, France’s first official committee to protect—and expand— the country’s vocabulary was established in 1966.

Aus Open: Nadal demolishes Dzumhur KVSA meet: T.Khel overall champs

Rafael Nadal celebrates after easing his way into the last 16 of the Australian Open.

MELBOURNE, Jan 19 (Agencies): Rafael Nadal continued his impressive start to the Australian Open, dropping just five games in romping to a straight sets win over Damir Dzumhur on Friday.

The Spanish world No.1 took just 1hr 50min to reach the fourth round with a 6-1, 6-3, 6-1 demolition of

the 28th seeded Bosnian on Margaret Court Arena.

Nadal, a losing finalist to Roger Federer last year in Melbourne, has lost only 21 games in his three victories to reach the round of 16.

He will take on Argentina’s 24th seed Diego Schwartzman in Sunday’s fourth round.

“I was very focused

and I’m very happy to have another chance on Sunday,” Nadal said.

The 16-time Grand Slam champion conceded just 18 unforced errors and only dropped his service once.

The win took the 31year-old’s Australian Open record to 54-11 as he chases his second Melbourne title

Fernandinho extends Man City contract

Manchester, Jan 19 (IANS): Brazilian midfilder Fernandinho on Friday signed a two-year contract extension with Manchester City.

“Fer nandinho has signed a two-year contract extension with Manchester City, committing his future to the Club until 2020,” the English football club announced in a statement.

Fernandinho said: “This is a Club with a fantastic future and I want to

be a part of it for as long as possible.”

“With Pep in charge, I feel sure we can win significant silverware and, importantly, we will try to do it playing attractive, attacking football. It’s a pleasure to be a part of this Club and I look forward to seeing what the next few years bring.”

Director of Football Txiki Begiristain said: “We are delighted Ferna has signed his new contract.

He is a senior member of the squad and his professionalism and work ethic are second to none.”

Fernandinho joined the club in 2013 after having spent six years with Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk. He won the English Premier League (EPL) title and League Cup in his first season.

Fe r n a n d i n h o h a s played 212 times for Manchester City since then, scoring 19 goals.

after beating Federer in the 2009 final. Nadal was ruthless against the Bosnian, breaking his serve seven times with blistering shotmaking. He breezed through the opening set with two breaks for the loss of just one game in 22 minutes.

He then broke Dzumhur in the opening game of the second and finished off the set with another break for a two sets lead. Nadal continued to attack Dzumhur and broke him in the second and sixth games to wrap up his night.

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 after the Australian Open, with Federer breathing down his neck.

Svitolina ends Kostyuk’s campaign

Ukrainian Elina Svitolina on Friday put an end to the Australian Open campaign of fellow countrywoman Marta Kostyuk with a 6-2, 6-2 victory in the third round.

Svitolina needed just 59 minutes to knock out Kostyuk, 15, who became the youngest player to reach a Grand Slam third round in more than two decades. Svitolina conceded her first service game, but she reacted immediately to draw level.

Kostyuk struggled on serve, as she committed six double faults, and won just six out 22 second serve points during the first set.

The 23-year-old Svitolina took advantage of Kostyuk’s struggle, breaking her serve two more times to seal the first set.

Svitolina made the most of the two break points she was offered in the second set, without facing any to move into the fourth round.
