Assam Police FIR against Mamata

FOR WARNING BJP NOT TO STOKE FIRE OVER NRC IN ASSAM G U WA H AT I , JA N 4 ( AG E N C I E S ) : A s s a m Police (AP) on Thursday registered a case against West Bengal chief minister, Mamata Banerjee on a complaint against her for alleging that the BJPled NDA government was “hatching a conspiracy” to drive out Bengalis from Assam by “excluding” their names from the first draft of the National Register of Citizens (NRC).

“Look at Assam. ‘Bangali Khedao’ (expell the Bengalis) is going on there.

There is a conspiracy in Assam to drive away the people who are staying there for the last 30-40 years. 1.25 crore people might be driven away from there in the name of the Citizenship Act,” Banerjee said comparing the NRC with 1960s ‘Bongal Kheda’ ethnic cleansing movement in Assam that drove away nearly 50,000 Bengalis from there.

“The people are being threatened to beaten away from there. I want to clearly tell the BJP government not to play with fire. Do not stoke fire of unrest in the

NDPP clarifies DIMAPUR, JAN 4 (NPN): Drawing attention to the reports spread on social media that the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) working president, Alemtemshi Jamir was the party’s chief ministerial candidate, the CEB of the party clarified that the news item was not an official statement of the party.

A press note issued by NDPP president, Chingwang Konyak said the CEB during its meeting held here on Thursday reviewed the social media reports.

According to Konyak the matter of Neiphiu Rio disassociating himself from NDPP was also taken up at the meeting after which it was decided that Alemtemshi would be tasked with the responsibility of leading and coordinating the party.

entire nation. Do not divide and rule. Try to maintain peace,” she added.

The BJP-led coalition government in Assam also condemned Banerjee for her remarks on Wednesday that the Narendra Modi government was “conspiring” to strike off the names of 12.5 million Bengalis from the updated NRC to eventually drive them out in a move “similar to Bongal kheda of the 1960s” that made over 50,000 take refuge in Bengal. At least three FIRs were lodged at two police stations in Guwahati against the West Bengal CM on Thursday.

“What she (Banerjee) said is unbecoming

of a chief minister and is an insult to the Supreme Court, which is monitoring the NRC updating exercise taken up by the Registrar General of India (RGI).

The state government is merely a facilitator,” Assam industries minister Chandra Mohan Patowary said.

“Our government has taken utmost care to ensure a smooth updating exercise, but her party and others are unhappy that there has been no violence or communal tension to cash in on,” he added. While social activist Kailash Sharma and advocate Tailendra Nath Das lodged separate police complaints against Banerjee for her “inflammatory speech”, the state BJP urged the Registrar General of India and officials involved in NRC exercise to file a case against her in the Supreme Court.

“Banerjee made the comment to lure Bengalispeaking people towards Trinamool Congress because the BJP is gaining ground in her state. Bengalis in Assam have had no issues with NRC but she is playing a dangerous game even if it

means contempt of court,” state BJP president Ranjeet Kumar Dass said.

The NRC of 1951 is being updated in Assam under the supervision of the Supreme Court to identify original residents of the state in order to check illegal migration. Its first draft was published on December 31 midnight. The All India United Democratic Front also lashed out at Banerjee.

“At a time when the situation in Assam is sensitive on the citizenship issue, such a statement from a responsible person like Mamata Di is uncalled for and condemnable. The NRC is being prepared under the guidance and supervision of the SC and we have full faith on the government machinery and hope for an error-free NRC with the names of all genuine citizens,” AIUDF chief Maulana Badruddin Ahmed said.

The Congress, on the other hand, shot off a letter to RGI alleging “deliberate negligence” on the part of NRC authorities in verifying documents in 208 NRC Sewa Kendras across 13 districts.

3 NE states lead women entrepreneurs chart MUMBAI, Jan 4 (Agencies): We have heard of women breaking the glass ceiling in the corporate world, but it’s in the unlikely corners of the country that women entrepreneurs are actually giving stiff competition to their male counterparts.

Unbelievably, North Eastern states like Manipur, Mizoram and Meghalaya are where women-run Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) will likely overtake the usual testosteronedominated business landscape, if they get the required support.

In fact, these three states lead the pack of top five states in the country with the highest number of women enterprises. As per the latest NSSO data, Manipur tops the charts with 481 women-owned MSMEs for every 1,000 in the state, much higher than the national average of 195.

Mizoram and Meghalaya are trailing in second and fourth spots with 392 and 351 MSMEs, respectively. Telangana stands third with over 373 women-owned MSMEs for every 1,000, while West Bengal has 327.

In all, women entrepreneurs account for 20 per cent of all MSMEs in the country, lower than the global average of 30 per cent of formal small and medium enterprises (SMEs) owned and run by women. This is also lower than 40 per cent in the US as of 2016.

Also, according to the Mastercard Index of Women Entrepreneurs, India is ranked 49 among 54 economies globally.

Sitimi issue: Sangtam, Sumi bodies appeal for restraint DIMAPUR, JAN 4 (NPN): United Sangtam Likhum Pumji inlcuding Dimapur-Kohima Sangtam Students’ Union and Western Sumi Students’ Union have appeaeld to the Sangtam and Sumi communities to show restraint and maintain calm following the tension in Sitimi area.

ULSP: United Sangtam Likhum Pumji (USLP) has appealed to the Sangtam community, “in connection with the incident at Sitimi (Singti) village in Kiphire district, to refrain from any provocation or circulation of hoaxes or rumours on social media which could cause intensification of the conflict between the two communities.”

In a press note, USLP vice president, Er. H.C Sangtam appealed “to both the brethrens of Sangtam and Sumi at Sitimi (Singti) village to solve the conflict through peaceful means and bring long lasting solution without resorting to inter-tribal violence.”

USLP also appealed to the individuals, organizations and Naga political groups to not involve in the internal matter of Sitimi village by taking the law into their own hands.

USLP further issued an appeal to the state government to immediately intervene before the situation got worse and to initiate steps to

bring about a permanent solution without hurting the sentiments of either community.

DKSSU, WSSU: DimapurKohima Sangtam Students’ Union (DKSSU) and Western Sumi Students’ Union (WSSU) have appealed to members of Sangtam and Sumi communities of Kiphire district in particular and within Nagaland in general to settle the matter at the earliest through open dialogue for promoting brotherhood among the two tribes within and outside the district.

The decision to issue a joint appeal was taken at a meeting held between office-bearers of both the organisations here on Thursday.

The meeting also appealed to all Nagas to refrain from misusing social-media or spread falsehood without knowing and observing the ground reality.

DKSSU and WSSU leaders further urged citizens and civil society groups to initiate peace between the two tribes for resolving the problem at the earliest as the students would appear for their exams shortly.

A statement issued jointly by WSSU president Nito Achumi and DKSSU president Mongli Sangtam said both the apex students’ bodies looked forward for an early solution to the issue for betterment of younger generation in particular and society in general.

nized Losolo village, some 40 odd kilometres from Shamator town, the advisor said the establishment and recognition of a new village has significant impact on the lives of villagers, especially in remote areas.

Tohanba said with recognition of the village, Losolo village can gradually avail all infrastructure

and facilities provided by the government including schools and other basic amenities.

He said establishment of new villages was not a modern phenomenon as Nagas have been establishing villages since time immemorial for various reasons. Tohanba, however, said establishing a new vil-

lage in the present context entailed a lot of formalities including no objection certificates from neighbouring villages and government procedures.

Tohanba further reminded the villagers that for speedy development and progress of the new village, the villagers should not only cooperate with each other and work collectively, but also maintain peaceful and harmonious relations with neighbouring villages.

EAC Shamator, Limakhumla Pongener, on behalf of the district administration, congratulated Losolo villagers for getting government recognition of the new village.

The EAC also sought the cooperation of the villagers in implementing welfare schemes and other administrative functions of the government.

A host of GBs, elders and representatives from neighbouring villages including Shiponger village, Chessore village, Kiutsukiur village, Y Aunru village, and president of Yimchungrü Tribal Council (YTC), K Keozih, also spoke on the occasion.

China’s statement on 8 former M’laya legislators join NPP Arunachal raised in LS Correspondent

Shillong, Jan 4: National People’s Party (NPP) Thursday got a major boost as eight Meghalaya legislators, including five from Congress, who had quit the assembly, joined the party to contest the upcoming assembly polls.

The tribal-centric political party was further emboldened with six more Congress members of the Jaintia Hills Autonomous District Council and People’s Democratic Front member of Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council.

Those from the Congress are former Deputy Chief Minister Rowell Lyngdoh and former Cabinet Ministers Prestone Tynsong, Coming One Ymbon, Sniawbhalang Dhar and Ngaitlang Dhar. The others are United Democratic Party legislator Remington Pyngrope, and Independents Hopeful Bamon and Stephanson Mukhim.

Welcoming the eight former legislators into the NPP fold at a public rally – “Mission 2018, NPP for New Meghalaya”, NPP national president, Conrad K. Sangma voiced confidence that his party will emerge as the single largest party after the assembly elections.

“We will be the single largest party. We are working hard towards trying to get absolute majority so we are confident people will give us the opportunity and we are positive at the development that are taking place in the state,” Sangma said.

The joining of the five former Congress legislators is major setback for the ruling Congress after former Health and Family Welfare Minister Alexander Hek of the Congress joined BJP, besides Chief Executive Member of Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council, P.N.Syiem too quit the Congress and joined the newly-floated People’s Democratic Front.

Syiem has been projected as the Chief Ministerial candidate.

Moreover, veteran Congress legislators – state Congress president and four-time Chief Minister D.D. Lapang, incumbent Deputy Chief Minister Prof. Roytre Christopher Laloo, besides Health and Family Welfare Minister Roshan Warjri - have been declared “retired” from electoral politics.

Tynsong, who was the longest serving cabinet minister in the Mukul Sangma before he was sacked last year, likened the cabinet ministers in the Mukul Sangma-led government as his “managers and they will agree to whatever he said.”

Taking potshots at the Chief Minister for bringing development only in his assembly constituency, the former Congress legislator said, “The present leadership (Mukul Sangma) is the Chief Minister of Ampati.

But NPP is not going to

G u wa h at i , Ja n 4 (IANS): Five young men, including a student, were found dead inside a vehicle in a village in Assam’s Nalbari district on Thursday, police said.

Police said a group of 24 people had gone for a picnic from Bordighala village on Wednesday morning and returned at night.

“The five youths spent the night inside the vehicle they had hired for the picnic. However, on Thursday morning, we saw all of them were unconscious,” a police officer quoted locals as saying.

They were rushed to a hospital where they were declared dead.

Police said that there were no visible injury marks on the bodies and believe they may have been suffocated inside the vehicle.

Meet on ease of doing business Correspondent

Diphu, Jan 4: A meeting on Ease of Doing Business was held on Thursday in the office chamber of additional director of Industries & Commerce, Karbi Anglong, Diphu. The meeting was attended by entrepreneurs from Karbi Anglong.

During the meeting, additional director of industries & commerce, H.K. Sharma explained the benefits of ease of doing business. He informed that the

Assam Ease of Doing Business Act, 2016 was passed by the new government in the very first session of the Assembly. Under this act, a single window agency has been established for e-filing, management and tracking of all necessary clearance, approvals, registrations and renewal under various state enactments, he said.

The Government has developed a single window portal where more than 350 services have already been made available online.

do that. We are for the interest for the people of Meghalaya.”

“He (Chief Minister) is also trying to divide Meghalaya by sanctioning developmental projects only in few pockets in Garo Hills.

Is it not that you (Chief Minister) are trying divide us,” Tynsong asked.

Manipur Deputy Chief Minister Y Joykumar Singh also voiced confidence that NPP will lead the government in Meghalaya after the assembly elections.

“It is for this reason we have left the Congress and we see that there is future in the NPP under the leadership of Conrad K Sangma,” he added.

However, former Chief Minister D.D. Lapang said the exodus of some Congress legislators to other political parties will not impact the ruling party.

“There will be no negative impact. I believe in the principle that no one is indispensable,” the veteran Congress legislator said.

NEW DELHI, Jan 4 (IANS): An incident of a Chinese road construction party entering Indian territory and Beijing’s statement on not recognising Arunachal Pradesh was raised in the Lok Sabha on Thursday.

Revolutionary Socialist Party member N.K. Premchandran urged the government to make a statement on the incident.

“Chinese entered Indian territory, there were attempts to construct a road.

Upto one kilometre they constructed. They were then stopped by people and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police force.

“They had come up till the Siang river basin, so my point is upper Siang basin is being aggressed upon,” Premchandran said.

“Further the Chinese spokesperson openly stated that Beijing has never recognised the state of Arunachal Pradesh. It is a provoking statement on China’s part,” he added.

“I would like to know the response of government of India on the Chinese aggression,” he said.

A road building party from China entered Indian territory in a remote part of Arunachal Pradesh in December-end and were sent back by the Indian troops. Around December 26, they were found constructing a track around two kilometres away from the nearest Indo-Tibetan Border Police post.

A nearly 600 metre long and 12 feet wide track was constructed on Indian territory when the Chinese party was stopped.

The area where the Chinese workers entered is close to the place where Brahmaputra river enters India.

Indian troops pushed back the labourers and seized the equipment. While there was no confrontation between troops on both side, Indian troops have barricaded the area since and have been guarding it.

CBI books M’laya minister, addl CS BJP tells EC to appoint micro-

NEW DELHI, JAN 4 (PTI): The CBI has booked Meghalaya’s PWD minister Ampareen Lyngdoh and state’s Additional Chief Secretary P S Thangkhiew over alleged manipulation of score sheets in the recruitment of teachers in 2008-09, an official said Thursday.

The CBI has acted on the orders of Meghalaya High Court, registering the FIR under IPC sections related to criminal conspiracy, forgery, criminal breach of trust against Lyngdoh, who was the education minister at the time of the alleged scam and Thangkhiew, a 1984-batch IAS officer, who was the then principal secretary education, the CBI official said.

Thangkhiew is now the additional chief secretary look-

ing after the crucial home department.

The state is likely to go for Assembly polls in the first quarter this year.

The agency has also made Directorate of Elementary and Mass Education and unidentified persons accused in the FIR. Meghalaya High Court had on November 2, 2017, ordered the CBI to take over the investigation registered by state police relating to alleged mass manipulation, tampering in the score sheets and interference in the selection of assistant teachers in lower primary schools in the state in 2008-09.

It is alleged that Lyngdoh had instructed J D Sangma, who was the director, elementary and mass education, at that

time and two of her supporters to tamper and forge the score sheets by applying white fluid to increase or decrease marks of the candidates.

The complainant had alleged that the minister in collusion and connivance with other members of the legislative Assembly carried out large scale manipulation in the selection process for the appointment of assistant teachers. “...We are clearly of the view that the state police would not be the proper agency to be entrusted with the investigation, and for the requisite investigation and for bringing to book all the persons responsible in this scam, it is rather imperative that investigation in the FIR...to be carried out by the CBI,” it had said.

observers in poll-bound Tripura

New Delhi, Jan 4 (PTI): The BJP Thursday asked the Election Commission to appoint micro-observers in poll-bound Tripura from outside the CPI(M)-ruled state and deploy maximum paramilitary forces, alleging that an atmosphere of fear was prevailing there.

Only those government officials should be given election duty, who give a declaration that they are not members of any political party or any trade union affiliated to any political outfit, said Assam minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.

“Micro-observers should be from outside the state because CPI(M) has started giving membership to the state government employees in Tripura. The elections cannot be held with the Left party members inside the booth,” Sarma told reporters.

Sarma claimed that more than 60 party workers were killed by the ruling CPI(M) in Tripura. “We (BJP) have requested EC to deploy maximum paramilitary forces in the state to ensure free and fair elections in the state,” he said.

N E W D E L H I , JA N 4 (IANS): The Delhi High Court on Thursday commuted the death sentence of two convicts to life imprisonment in the 2009 Jigisha Ghosh murder case. A division bench of Justice S. Murlidhar and Justice I.S. Mehta modified the death sentence awarded to Ravi Kapoor and Amit Shukla by the trial court and said they would serve life imprisonment.

NEW DELHI, JAN 4 (IANS): The Rajya Sabha on Thursday expressed concern over the Bhima-Koregaon incident and the ensuing violence across Maharashtra and appealed for the restoration of peace.

The discussion on the anti-Dalit violence was taken up as soon as the House met for the day and one leader of each party was given around one minute to express their thoughts.

On Wednesday, the opposition had demanded a discussion on the violence under Rule 267, that entails suspending all the listed business of the day, but was denied permission

by Chairman M. Venkaiah Naidu. The opposition then had disrupted proceedings in the upper House.

On Thursday, before allowing the discussion, Naidu told the MPs to be not provocative in their statements. “Our approach should be to see that tempers

Nagaland Post Vol. XXVIII NO. 28 Dimapur, FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 2018

Score over a scar

W

hat the recent spate of clashes that broke out in Maharashtra between Marathas of Mumbai and the Mahars (Dalits) actually exposed the underlying depth of caste and community divide within the prejudiced minds. The occasion was the bicentenary of the Bhima-Koregaon battle in which the forces of the British East India Company defeated the Peshwa’s army. In the 1818 battle between the British and the Peshwas, the Mahars (or the Dalit community) who were recruited as soldiers of the East India Company helped the British defeat the Peshwas. British victory over the Peshwas in 1818 at a memorial built at the site of the battle in Bhima-Koregaon,some 30 kms away from Pune.

The Mahars used to be inhumanly treated by the Brahmins(Peshwas)and were rejected for recruitment into the Maratha army. Left with no option to fight the inhuman prejudice, the Mahars ultimately joined the British East India army and inflicted heavy defeat on the Peshwas. Mumbaikars had called out a protest against the Koregaon Bhima battle celebration and in retaliation, Dalits too took to the streets. It may be noted that the Koregaon Bhima had been celebrated without incident since the past 200 years. The resultant bandh called was about some elements who continue to live in the past and attempted to settle a 200-year old score. The violence reached as far as Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh and where as many as 12 buses were burnt and highways blocked. The conflict has little or nothing to do with the British, it’s between the Brahmin Peshwas and Dalit Mahars. For many people the recent violence in Maharashtra exposes the BJP-RSS’ stridency in attempting to submerge all sub-regional distinctiveness . Such a policy has led to a countervailing movement by forces that have felt short changed in the battle for resources, identity and patronage. This has also led to the weakening of inter-ethnic networks that would otherwise peacefully manage the structure of civic life. By deliberately restricting the space for local networks of civic engagement and consensus, the attitude of BJP’s spear-carriers in the countryside risks tensions degenerating into conflict. Worse, the style of governance has been accentuated by rhetoric and at times, crude attempts to denigrate sections of society considered as “aliens”. Speeches that hit the sensitive nerves have resulted in booking under various sections of the Cr PC. One instance was when recently elected Gujarat MLA Jignesh Mevani was deemed guilty for stirring what was described as the “caste cauldron” as if it never existed till the day before. What Mevani said and which seems to offend the BJP in Maharashtra was in calling the party men as the “New Peshwas” and announcing that he would take the battle to the streets in 2019. Mevani has every right to fight the BJP or any party and evoke a sense of historical triumph or injustice in an age where the pre-eminent party of India is digging out Muslim rulers from their graves - from Aurangzeb to Babur to Tipu Sultan. The last (Tipu Sultan issue) is now useful for election-bound Karnataka. Caste or communal clashes are a blot on the country and greatly damages its secular image outside.

DailyDevotion Why Can I Not Follow You Now? Peter said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You now?”

—John 13:37 There are times when you can’t understand why you cannot do what you want to do. When God brings a time of waiting, and appears to be unresponsive, don’t fill it with busyness, just wait. The time of waiting may come to teach you the meaning of sanctification— to be set apart from sin and made holy— or it may come after the process of sanctification has begun to teach you what service means. Never run before God gives you His direction. If you have the slightest doubt, then He is not guiding. Whenever there is doubt— wait.

At first you may see clearly what God’s will is— the severance of a friendship, the breaking off of a business relationship, or something else you feel is distinctly God’s will for you to do. But never act on the impulse of that feeling. If you do, you will cause difficult situations to arise which will take years to untangle. Wait for God’s timing and He will do it without any heartache or disappointment. When it is a question of the providential will of God, wait for God to move.

Peter did not wait for God. He predicted in his own mind where the test would come, and it came where he did not expect it. “I will lay down my life for Your sake.”

Peter’s statement was honest but ignorant. “Jesus answered him, ‘…the rooster shall not crow till you have denied Me three times’ ” (John 13:38). This was said with a deeper knowledge of Peter than Peter had of himself. He could not follow Jesus because he did not know himself or his own capabilities well enough. Natural devotion may be enough to attract us to Jesus, to make us feel His irresistible charm, but it will never make us disciples. Natural devotion will deny Jesus, always falling short of what it means to truly follow Him.

Nagaland Post, Dimapur FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 2018

Post-mortem

Tseminyu district demand and justifications thereof

1. Nagaland state was created not on the basis of population or territory but out of administrative necessity on tribal considerations, on political grounds, and to meet the sentiments and aspirations of Naga people. If we talk about population and territory for creation of a district, in that case few or none of the districts of Nagaland is qualified because the whole of Nagaland State population is less than one district’s population in UP and Bihar. All 12 districts in Nagaland were created purely out of necessity, not on the basis of population and territory nor number of MLA seats. In the same way, Tseminyu sub-division be upgraded to District Headquarters on grounds of necessity and on tribal considerations like in other cases.

2. When the Naga Hills districts was created with its headquarters at Samaguting (Chumukedima) in 1866, Rengma was the backbone for formation of the district because major portions of Naga Hills district territory was Rengma’s land. That point of time, the district consisted only five Naga tribes, viz 1. Rengma 2. Zeliang 3.

Angami 4. Lotha 5. Sema.

All four tribes have now their own districts except Rengma tribe. If there was no Naga Hills district in 1866 there would be no Nagaland state today.

3. Rengma like other Naga tribes have equally contributed for the cause of Nagas if not more.

During the First World War, Naga Hills sent 2000 labour corps to France, and Rengmas alone were 200 corps for the service of the Nation. Nagas returned home from Europe and formed Naga Club in 1918 to raise Naga voice to outside world, there Rengma tribe was one of the founder members of the Club. Mr. Nrilo Rengma, Dobashi was its member. Naga Club was the first Naga common organization which submitted the memorandum to Simon Commission

A

on 10th January, 1929 to exclude the Naga Hills from the proposed Reforms scheme where Mr. Rusilo Rengma, Dobashi was one of the signatories of the memorandum. That was the first Naga memorandum submitted to the Gover nment for Naga common welfare. Rengmas are second to none for the cause of Naga people. Nagas got statehood because of their struggle since the formation of Naga Club in 1918.

4. After World WarII, on the advice of Mr. C.R.Pawsey, the Deputy Commissioner of Naga Hills District, the Naga leaders, mostly Govt. servants, met in April 1945 at Kohima and formed Naga Hills District Tribal Council to have Naga unity for Naga cause. Mr. Mayangnokcha Ao became its first President and Mr. P.Sentsi Rengma, the Joint Secretary. This Naga Hills District Tribal Council (NHDTC) was the second Naga common organization after Naga Club. Rengmas were one of the founder members of NHDTC. When NHDTC held its second meeting at Wokha in 1946 and changed its nomenclature into Naga National Council with the same office bearers of the NHDTC except its President, Mr. Mayangnokcha Ao who resigned and in his place Mr. T.Aliba was elected.

Mr. P. Sentsi Rengma held the same office of Joint Secretary and Mr. Whenha Rengma who later became the first Ato Kilonser of FGN was its executive member. Thus Rengma tribe was one of the founders of NNC. 5. When ten Naga tribes re presentatives mostly NNC talked about the Naga issue with Sir Akbar Hydari, Governor of Assam in July 1947 at Kohima and arrived at ‘Nine Point Agreement’ (Hydari Agreement) with him, Rengma representative Mr. Whenha Rengma was there in the talk. We have worked faithfully for Naga common cause.

6. NNC President, A.Z. Phizo, began the Naga National movement from Rengma’s land by hoisting the first Naga National flag at Parshen in Rengma area on 22nd March, 1956 by declaring Nagaland as a sovereign nation. As a result, hundreds of Rengmas lost their lives, and villages were burnt down into ashes and some villages were burnt down several times.

The Naga National Movement gained its momentum on ground and spread its movement throughout Naga inhabited areas after hoisting Naga National flag in Rengma area. Naga National flag was made by four Rengma women of Sendenyu village on the advice of A.Z.Phizo which was first used at Parshen on the first day of celebration of the Naga Republic. Rengmas have contributed and sacrificed upto our maximum for the common cause of the Nagas.

7. When Naga People’s Convention made its 16 Point Agreement with the Government of India in July, 1960 and created ‘Nagaland’ as the sixteenth state of the Indian Union, Rengma tribe was a signatory of the agreement. Mr. P.Sentsi Rengma was a signatory as Rengma representative. All signatory tribes were rewarded with district except the Rengma tribe which is yet to be rewarded a district.

8 . W h e n we t a l k about MLA seats, Rengma had two MLA seats during interim government from 1961-1963.

Mr. Riga Thong and Mr. Lothi Semy were interim body members. However, in the first Nagaland General elections, 1964, one seat was deprived from Rengma tribe for no valid reason. However, Delimitation Commission of India proposed two MLA seats for the Rengma tribe in 2003 in their Draft proposal based on tribal population which is yet to materialize.

9. Naga tribes under the Naga Hills District were on six tribes viz.

Angami, Zeliang, Rengma, Sema, Lotha and Ao and there were only two administrative headquarters for administration of Naga Hills – Deputy Commissioner at Kohima and SDO(C) at Mokokchung. To assist these two administrative centres, the Govt. created the post of Bench Court Chairman for the four remaining tribes – Lotha, Sema, Rengma and Zeliang. The Bench Court Chairmen were as follows:a. Bench Court Chairman, Wokha, 1945 – now District. b. Bench Court Chairman, Zunheboto, 1947 – now District. c. Bench Court Chairman, Tseminyu, 1948 –

still sub-division. d. Bench Court Chairman, Peren, 1949 – now District.

10. Tseminyu SDPDB has approved for creation of Tseminyu District and forwarded to the Govt. of Nagaland on 18th March, 2016. Ref. No. GA/TSNU/SDPDB-1 /2011-12/12-16. Tseminyu is the fifth administrative headquarter of Naga Hills but still remains a sub-division. Tseminyu administrative headquarter in now 69 years old, most deserving sub-division to be upgraded to district.

11. Chronology of Tseminyu administrative Headquarter:i. 18-06-1948: Rengma Bench Court under Deputy

Commissioner, Naga Hills, Assam. ii. 05-08-1956: Political Asst. to Deputy Commissioner, Naga Hills, Kohima, Assam. iii. 19-05-1958: Circle Officer under Naga Hills Tuensang Area iv. 19-04-1959: Assistant Commissioner – II (AC-II) under Naga Hills Tuensang Area. v. 10-04-1966: Extra Assistant Commissioner (EAC) under Kohima District. vi. 26-01-1981: SubDivisional Officer Civil, SDO(C), under Kohima District. vii. 18-06-1991: Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) HQ under Kohima District.

Introducing Naga Day – Nagas without borders

ll human histories are a being.

They are living and mutable, and in this are ontological. Among the histories of the world, Naga history is a relative history in its own right, especially in regards to our immediate and de facto communities. Our history is one that can also be sedated by the past, where we find ourselves haunted in the present by the fervent dogmatism of the past memories. Such an opiate of the Naga world view needs to be denounced through a demand for by definitiveness and finality.

The alternative, as has been our fateful reality, is to linger in disappointments manifested in the form of rationalization, rhetoric of legalism and to others perhaps, in microscopic politics of narcissism.

Historically, the construction of Naga identity has been chiselled out of our common dreams and aspirations. To be sure, all civilizations are constructed histories. From the onset of the twentieth century, Naga people have desired to safeguard our socio-cultural and political identity. In this, the Naga pioneers’ imagination remains unmatched.

Naga Day, unlike an assault on the physical world of anyone, is in the

realm of symbolic cultural restoration by spirit of collective imagination. The Naga memory of belonging yearns to listen and be heard, and Naga Day is an opportunity to nurture that memory by answering the silence of the present and visioning the hope of the future. Our present burned lands are fertile lands that can flourish in the future.

History is full of small, symbolic acts that altered the world in astonishing ways and Naga Day is no different. The day itself represents the voice of the people.

Today, if Naga identity is under any threat in ways we don’t understand, it will be at the “nation”1 level that we either solve it or destroy it. The idea of belonging is a universal idea. Americans have it, Indians have it, Chinese have it and so on. The philosophy that “you are alone” and that there is no common ethos of trying to nurture something shared is the embodiment of “every ‘nation’ for itself.” Such an ethos is a culture “turned inward” against others.

In the Naga context, it is paramount that the healing and connection of “nation” be initiated in order to heal our own psychic wounds. If Nagas do not develop ways to publicly confront the emotional

consequences of hatred, jealousy, attitudes of superiority, and division, these consequences will continue to burn us to annihilation.

Nagas must come to an urgent realization and act that we are basically at war with ourselves. Shall we not underscore and put a stop to where we differ, and practice social ecology of shared humanity among us and with others? The ultimate betrayal of Naga identity is not in acting competitively— that should be positively encouraged— but in the search and creation of exclusion and exclusivity under the pretext of unity and healing.

Belonging to a shared Naga humanity requires a critical and analytical consciousness that will lead to a type of sacrifice that gives more than it costs—where the “grownups” become disciplined role models for the “young” ones, nurturing and empowering the “young” ones to flourish.

This sense of solidarity is at the core of what it means to be Naga and will help deliver us to this extraordinary moment in our history. This could very well be the only thing that allows us to survive our times.

Let us be reminded that Nagas need to be capable at what we do in order to find contentment

in this world. We need to be authentic in our lives and we need to be genuinely connected to others.

Above all, we need God. Without God there is no basis for morality. These four values are intrinsic to human finite good.

Sadly, the outcome of the Westphalian paradigm of 1648 ushered in arbitrary frontiers and borders of exclusion and division in the world. Like most ethnic groups, the Nagas are no exception to this reality. Naga Day, therefore, is saying to the Nagas, “Let us go beyond the borders of arbitrarily-enacted division.” It is resolving that we are not going to curtail and limit ourselves by the imaginary borderlines by which we, like others, were programmed to approach the world. It is acknowledged that by fighting for the borders of division, we only defeat ourselves.

Naga Day is reminding ourselves and announcing to the world that we are moving on with the pace of time without departing from our socio-cultural and political identity. We take a resolute collective affirmation that the colonial term “borders” be removed from the vocabulary of the Naga people. With post-illennial socio-cultural and political agenda being prioritized around issues of restoring ecology, the tantamount

importance for the Nagas is the ecology of indigenous peoples without borders.

Naga Day implores Nagas to think generously outside of the box of colonial frontiers—a tool par excellence of divide. All identities are unique and as such to be never at the expense of the other. This means, an identity is always defined only in relation of the other. Thus, while the Naga identity is permeable without borders, by the same token, Naga identity is never at the exclusion of non- Nagas who have their legitimate locus in “NagaLands.” Nagas have to catch on to the fact that “birds of the same feather” is a dangerous concept to a society of many feathers. The society of “same feather” is at the end, an

exclusive community.

Finally, the Forum for Naga Reconciliation’s initiation of the Naga Day is solely based on the preceding lines. FNR has absolutely no monopoly on any organizations. Time after time, FNR has sincerely appreciated the contribution of all organizations, including fathers and mothers and concerned prayer groups. FNR abides by our commitment of Naga reconciliation and peace for all stakeholders.

As such, the formation of FNR was situational—out of exigency. The day FNR becomes an institutionalized system we will cease to be effective.

FNR welcomes all to the Naga Day. Rev. Dr. Wati Aier, Convenor of the Forum for Naga Reconciliation

Reader’s Post For the better

Sir,

The last Christmas and New Year seemed somewhat more peaceful and calm in Dimapur. One didnot hear of (many) accidents due to drunken driving as in other years past. Somehow this is a positive trend as surely people opted to stay home with their families and elders rather than taking the risky road. Perhaps, things are changing for the better.

130 km of roads constructed daily: nitin Gadkari

NEW DELHI, Jan 4 (PTI): An average 130 km of roads are being constructed every day under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), the highest in the last seven years, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari claimed Thursday.

Gadkari said in Lok Sabha that the central government has taken a decision to accelerate the execution of PMGSY to substantially complete the habitation connectivity as per the core network of plan by March 2019.

“The pace of construction under PMGSY has also been speeded up in the last three years and the average construction reached the level of 130 km per day during 201617, which is highest in the last 7 years,” he said during Question Hour.

Gadkari, the Minister for Road Transport and Highways, was replying on behalf of Rural Development Minister Narendra Singh Tomar.

Govt won’t send triple Talaq bill to Parl panel: Sources

NEW DELHI, JAN 4 (Agencies): The government, outnumbered in the Rajya Sabha, has decided not to blink and allow the opposition a political victory by sending the landmark triple talaq bill to a parliament committee for review, sources said. It wants to defer the bill to the next parliament session; it was tabled in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday and if there is no action on it tomorrow, the last day of the winter session, then it will automatically roll over to the budget session.

Between the sessions, the sources said, the ruling BJP will talk to other parties to try and bring them around to its point of view that the Muslim Women Protection of Rights in Marriage Bill 2017, which seeks to make instant triple talaq illegal with up to three years in jail as punishment for a Muslim man who divorces his wife by saying talaq thrice, must be passed expeditiously to ensure justice for Muslim women. The opposition, said sources, will continue to

press to refer the bill to a select committee of the Rajya Sabha, but realises that it has no option but to accept the government’s decision.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, during a heated debate in the house on Thursday evening, accused the Congress of sabotaging the triple talaq bill. The ruling BJP has said the Congress has “double standards” on the bill for opposing it in the Rajya Sabha after supporting it in the Lok Sabha, where it sailed through last week since the government has a big majority.

“Nobody was against the bill in the Lok Sabha.

Now why are they not supporting the bill in the Rajya Sabha,” said parliamentary affairs minister Ananth Kumar today. A united opposition has faced off with the government, insisting that its resolution to send the bill to a select committee of the House be voted on to prove that a majority of the House backs that move. The government has challenged that on technical grounds.

(From p-1) A l s o c i t i n g S I B ’s December 22 input from Guwahati, the report said ULFA was readying to target government installations and ambush security forces.

“Arms have already been readied and the consignment named ‘College Girls’ comprising grenades, IEDs, automatic rifles is coming in two or three batches,” the report stated.

About 15 cadres left for Arakan on December 20 and have reached several days ago. This ambush was being coordinated by Arunodoy Dohitiya and Nayan Medhi, both senior ULFA leaders.

Dohotiya has already discussed the plan with Paresh Barua who has approved it, the report added. The targets are securitymen on duty, VIPs when they are moving around and the pockets of Hindi speaking people, sources told Times Now. According to reports, ULFA (I) leaders have found a location near the Namdhapa national park in Changling of Arunachal Pradesh for setting up a transit camp. “About 70 cadres will be able to live here.

CSCS operators were initially entrusted with the task of making Aadhaar cards across the country but were withdrawn later.

It said 12-digit ID number was not secret and had to be shared with authorized agencies whenever an Aadhaar holder wishes to avail certain service or benefit of government welfare schemes. “That does not mean that the proper use of Aadhaar number poses a security or financial threat.

Also, mere availability of Aadhaar number will not be a security threat (and) will not lead to financial (or) other fraud, as for a successful authentication fingerprint or iris of individual is also required.

“Claims of bypassing or duping the Aadhaar enrolment system are totally unfounded. The UIDAI Data Centres are infrastructure of critical importance and is protected accordingly with high technology conforming to the best standards of security and also by legal provisions.”

The Tribune report, which was widely shared on social media sites, claimed that it took just Rs 500 and 10 minutes for the newspaper to get an access through an “agent” to every detail of

RANCHI, JAN 4 (PTI): A special court today deferred the sentencing of Lalu Prasad in a fodder scam case till tomorrow when it is likely to decide whether to pronounce the quantum of punishment over video conference or in court with the judge saying he also received phone calls from the RJD chief ’s wellwishers.

The case relates to fraudulent withdrawal of Rs 89.27 lakh from Deoghar treasury 21 years ago.

Deferring the sentencing for the second day in a row, CBI judge Shiv Pal Singh said he would decide tomorrow whether the sentence would be given over video conference or in the court.

To this, Prasad said he was for personal appearance and assured that there would be no slogans raised in the courtroom by his supporters.

The judge also said he had received phone calls from well-wishers of the RJD boss but did not elaborate.

With the court room packed, the judge asked the advocates not connected with the fodder scam case to leave.

Fifteen others who were convicted in the scam and were to be sentenced along with Prasad waited in the court, while the RJD chief was whisked away to

NEW DELHI, JAN 4 (IANS): Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) on Thursday denied breach or leak of Aadhaar data after a newspaper reported it bought unrestricted access to the details of over one billion Aadhaar numbers -- for just Rs 500.

“The Aadhaar data, including biometric information, is fully safe and secure,” the authority said in a statement, calling the report in The Tribune “a case of misreporting”.

“UIDAI assures that there has not been any Aadhaar data breach,” the statement said, adding that the data was secure with a “robust uncompromised security”. The authority said it had given search facility for the purpose of grievance redressal to designated personnel and state government officials to help residents only by entering their 12digit Aadhaar numbers.

The grievance redressal search facility, the statement said, “gives only limited access to name and other details and has no access to biometric details”.

It said the authority maintains complete log and traceability of its search facility and any misuse was traceable. “The reported case appears to be instance of misuse of the grievance redressal search facility. As UIDAI maintains complete log and traceability of the facility, the legal action including lodging of FIR against the persons involved in the instant case is being done.”

The Aadhaar database “remains fully safe and secure with highest encryption

DBS attributed the difficulties on the fiscal math to the shortfall in receipts and added that the expenditure has stayed on the planned course.

It said the expenditure compression in the remainder of the fiscal will have to be aggressive if the 3.2 per cent target has to be met.

A higher fiscal deficit target for the next fiscal will result in a higher borrowing by the government, it said.

“Expectations are building for a populist budget, targeted at rural/ agricultural development, job creation, and effective implementation of social sector schemes,” it said.

Opting for a fiscal deficit target of 3.2-3.4 per cent will lead to a surge in Government borrowings to Rs 4.8-5.2 lakh crore, it said.

A wider deficit, which is generally seen as being inflationary in nature, will lead the Reserve Bank to settle for a long pause in its rates stance, it said, adding that factors like inflation “warrant attention”.

New Delhi, Jan 4 (PTI): Gold fell by Rs 85 to Rs 30,365 per 10 gram at the bullion market Thursday on sluggish demand from jewellers amid a weak trend in the overseas market.

Silver followed suit and shed Rs 210 to Rs 39,640 per kg due to reduced offtake by industrial units and coin makers.

Traders attributed the decline in gold prices to subdued demand from local jewellers and retailers at the domestic spot market.

Besides, a muted trend in global market where gold retreated from over 3-1/2 month highs due to a firmer dollar on expectations of further US interest rate hike, eroding appeal of the safehaven precious metal, led to decline in the prices.

Globally, gold shed 0.40 per cent to USD 1,307.30 an ounce in Singapore.

In the national capital, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per cent purity were down by Rs 85 each to Rs 30,365 and Rs 30,215 per 10 gram respectively.

Mumbai, Jan 4 (PTI): A fiscal slippage in FY18 will likely result in the government opting to go for a wider gap for 2018-19 in the upcoming budget, foreign lender DBS said Thursday.

The fiscal deficit number for 2017-18 will come at 3.5 per cent as against the targeted 3.2 per cent of the GDP and it will result in the government opting to settle for a target of 3.2-3.3 per cent rather than the 3 per cent under the fiscal consolidation roadmap.

“The FY18 deficit might be pegged at 3.5 per cent of GDP (similar to FY17), which opens room for the FY19 target to be set at 3.2-3.3 per cent compared to the roadmap’s 3 per cent,” Singaporean lender DBS said in a note.

It can be noted that the government has already exhausted 112 per cent of the 2017-18 target by November 2017, with four months to go. It also announced an additional borrowing of Rs 50,000 crore for FY18.

In June, the board of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) decided to ease the entry norms for overseas investors by permitting direct access to FPIs from eligible jurisdictions.

Recently, Sebi raised FPIs’ investment limit for government debt, allowed them to invest in unlisted corporate debt as well as securitised debt instruments and permitted direct entry to well-regulated foreign investors to invest in corporate bonds.

In a big revamp, Sebi in 2014 released norms that clubbed different categories of foreign investors into a new class called FPIs. They have been divided into three categories as per their risk profile and KYC (know your customer) requirements while other registration procedures have been made simpler.

The industry’s AUM had crossed the milestone of Rs 10 lakh crore for the first time in May 2014 and in a short span of about three-and-a-half years, the asset base shot up more than two-fold to over Rs 22 lakh crore at December-end 2017. It was at Rs 16.46 lakh crore at the end of December 2016.

This was the fifth consecutive yearly rise in the industry AUM, after a drop in the assets base for two preceding years.

The industry has been running a very ambitious investor awareness campaign, ‘mutual fund sahi hai’ or mutual funds are right for the investor and Bishnoi feels it may have added considerably to the growth.

Overall, investor count is estimated to have risen by 1.7 crore to 6.5 crore, while retail investor accounts -- defined by folios in equity, ELSS and balanced categories -- alone grew by 1.4 crore to 5.3 crore.

he added.

Further, market experts are of the view that several measures taken

by Sebi added to India’s attractiveness. In addition, Sebi’s board, last month, decided to relax entry norms for FPIs willing to invest in the Indian markets.

Besides, euphoric sentiment among corporates on account of improvement in ‘ease of doing business’ ranking coupled with government showing commitment in speeding up development and economic reforms before going for elections in 2019 bode well for foreign investors’ confidence, said Dinesh Rohira, founder and chief executive at 5nance.com.

New Delhi, Jan 4 (PTI): Indian mutual fund industry’s assets under management (AUM) are expected to touch Rs 100 lakh crore in the next 10 years on account of strong participation from retail investors, a top Mahindra AMC official said Thursday.

At present, the mutual fund industry has an asset base of Rs 22.36 lakh crore.

“People want to make money and they have understood the fact that only way to beat the inflation is investment in equity. They are moving away from traditional investment products like gold and real estate and focusing on mutual funds.

This will help in reaching the industry AUM to Rs 100 lakh crore in the next 10 years,” Mahindra AMC Managing Director and CEO Ashutosh Bishnoi told reporters here.

In 2017, the total asset base of all 42 active fund houses put together surged by an impressive 32 per cent, while it had risen by

New Delhi, Jan 4 (PTI): Nearly 1,200 fresh foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) were registered with Sebi in April-November this fiscal, mainly due to their continued interest in the Indian capital markets, latest data from the regulator showed.

This comes on top of close to 3,500 new FPIs registering with Sebi in the preceding fiscal.

The number of FPIs with the markets regulator climbed to 8,991 at the end of November from 7,807 at March-end, resulting in an addition of 1,184, according to Sebi data.

“The reason for increasing FPI registrations is continued interest in the Indian equity, bonds and real estate,” said Arvind Chari, head, fixed income and alternatives, Quantum Advisors.

“Besides, the end of the earlier FII (foreign institutional investors) and sub-accounts regime, which ended in September 2016, necessitated all such entries to register as FPI,”

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in October had announced an unprecedented Rs 2.11 lakh crore two-year road map to strengthen PSBs, reeling under high non performing assets (NPAs) or bad loans. Their NPAs have increased to Rs 7.33 lakh crore as of June 2017, from Rs 2.75 lakh crore in March 2015.

Meanwhile, production growth at Indian manufacturers quickened to the fastest in five years in December and accordingly, the headline seasonally adjusted Nikkei India Composite PMI Output Index rose from 50.3 in November to 53.0 in December, the highest since October 2016.

The additional expenditure of Rs 80,000 crore towards bank recapitalisation through issue of government securities will be matched by additional receipts on issues of securities to the banks and “will not entail any cash outgo”, it added.

New Delhi, Jan 4 (PTI): The Indian services sector returned to marginal growth in December as new orders broadly stabilised, says a monthly survey.

Even as there was a turnaround, business activity growth in December was slight and remained well below the average recorded for the survey history as a whole.

The seasonally adjusted Business Activity Index improved to 50.9 in December from 48.5 in November, signalling a renewed increase in business activity.

In PMI lexicon, a print above 50 means expansion and a score below that denotes contraction.

Meanwhile, sources said the proposed recapitalization bonds to be given to public sector banks would have non-SLR status and will be non-tradeable.

The unrest was initially over price rises and corruption but the focus quickly turned to the remote elite and particularly Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, They are the largest protests since the disputed 2009 presidential election.

Ready to respond to any US punitive action: Pakistan Army

Islamabad, Jan 4 (PTI): Amidst reports that the Trump administration is set to announce more drastic steps to punish Islamabad for its support to terror groups, the Pakistan Army has said the country would respond to any US action in line with the aspirations of the people.

The statement by the military spokesman came in the backdrop of the White House’s announcement that the US would announce specific measures against Pakistan in the next 24 to 48 hours after President Donald Trump’s stinging New Year tweet.

The US yesterday announced that it is withholding its USD 255 million

military aid to Pakistan.

“In case of [a] US action against Pakistan, it will be responded to [in line with] the aspirations of the people of Pakistan,” the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Major General Asif Ghafoor said in a brief statement.

In a terse Twitter post on January 1, President Trump had accused Pakistan of “lying and deceit” and providing safe havens to terrorists despite getting over USD 33 billion in aid over 15 years.

After Trump’s statement, Pakistan had called a meeting of the National Security Committee (NSC) on Tuesday which expressed “disappointment” over

the statement, but said the country would not act in haste.

It is not clear whether the Pakistan Army issued the statement in anticipation of some possible unilateral action against Pakistan, The Express Tribune reported.

Responding to the US allegations, Maj Gen Ghafoor, the military’s media wing chief, said Pakistan had taken action against the dreaded Haqqani network.

“Effects of action against the Haqqani network will be visible in due time,” he said.

Speaking to a private news channel, he said Pakistani nation’s collective response to the Trump’s tweet was a positive sign.

Konta retires hurt in Brisbane

Brisbane, Jan 4 (Agencies): British No 1 Johanna Konta had to retire hurt during her Brisbane International quarter-final against Elina Svitolina.

With Svitolina leading 1-6 7-6 (8-6) 3-2, Konta announced she would have to withdraw due to a problem with her right hip, having received treatment two games earlier.

Konta had looked in fantastic form earlier on, dominating the first set after saving four early break points. But Svitolina recovered and the Ukrainian won a very closely contested second set. Konta is due to defend her Sydney International title next week but is unsure whether she will take part. “I need to wait until tomorrow morning [before deciding],” she said.

“I don’t feel comfortable going on gut feeling, especially to do with stuff like this. The most important thing is to listen to my body, listen to how I’m feeling in the morning, and really taking it kind of step by step.”

Costa, who rejoined from Chelsea in September but could not play until the transfer window opened this month, came on as a 64th-minute substitute and swept home Atletico’s third goal in the 69th minute in the first leg of a last 16 tie.

“I’m really happy to feel like a footballer again and play once more with Atletico Madrid. It was very important for me,” Costa said after the match.

“I couldn’t have hoped for a better start to my second spell with Atletico. I was given the opportunity to play again and I had the

chance to score a goal.

That makes me even happier.”

Spain international Costa started the move that led to his goal, driving forward before moving the ball wide, allowing Juanfran to whip in a low cross that Costa clipped past Lleida keeper David Oliveros.

Arsenal hold Chelsea 2-2 in thriller

Andy Murray pulls out of Australian Open

Nagaland Post, Dimapur FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 2018

Holders Juventus into Italian Cup semis

Hazard hauled Chelsea level from the penalty spot four minutes later.

The result sees Chelsea and Arsenal remain third and sixth in the Premier League, with both teams missing the chance to leapfrog Manchester United and Tottenham respectively.

Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil were chief tormentors to the Chelsea defence in a pulsating first half, but the game’s first chance fell to Alvaro Morata, who fired woefully wide on 14 minutes after

misjudgement from Calum Chambers released him on goal.

The game then burst into life on 17 minutes.

Seconds after an AinsleyMaitland Niles penalty appeal was declined, Thibaut Courtois tipped a fierce Sanchez drive onto both posts before smothering the rebound.

The Belgium international was in inspired form, denying Alexandre Lacazette’s low effort at full stretch. His counterpart Petr Cech, meanwhile, had to be alert to tip Tiemoue

Bakayoko’s rasping effort over on 28 minutes.

Ozil flashed a shot inches wide on 39 minutes before Cesc Fabregas’ curling effort drifted wide on the stroke of half-time, after which Cech was on hand to deny Hazard’s low effort and Alonso’s header in quick succession.

Arsenal soon regained the initiative, though, with Lacazette drawing another save from Courtois before his resolve was finally broken by Wilshere’s thunderous near-post drive on 63 minutes.

However, the Gunners’ lead lasted just four minutes as Bellerin was penalised for a foul in the area on Hazard, and the Belgian dusted himself down to haul Chelsea level from the spot.

Morata fired over on 71 minutes and a deflected N’Golo Kante shot narrowly missed the target as the champions pushed for a second, which came when Alonso poked Davide Zappacosta’s cross home from close range.

Back came Arsenal in a thrilling finale as Bellerin’s whipped effort flashed past Courtois in stoppage-time, but the Gunners almost lost it again as Cech thwarted Morata before Zappacosta thundered the rebound against the crossbar in the dying seconds.

Lo n d o n, Ja n 4 (Agencies): Hector Bellerin’s 92nd-minute equaliser rescued a point for Arsenal in a thrilling 2-2 draw with Chelsea at the Emirates.

Marcos Alonso’s 84thminute strike looked to have secured a vital three points for the champions, but Bellerin struck deep into stoppage-time as the points were shared.

Jack Wilshere’s first Premier League goal since May 2015 had fired the Gunners into a deserved 63rd-minute lead, but Eden

Virat Kohli (L) and Faf du Plessis with the trophy.

SYDNEY, Jan 4 (Agencies): World number two Garbine Muguruza accepted a wildcard into the Sydney International on Thursday to get match fit after retiring with severe cramp from a tournament this week.

The Wimbledon champion was ahead 2-1 in the deciding set against Serbia’s Aleksandra Krunic in the second round of the seasonopening Brisbane International when she collapsed after a serve. The Spaniard could not continue, derailing her Australian Open preparations.

“This wildcard is a very valuable opportunity for me get back on the court and hopefully play a few more matches before the first Grand Slam of the year in Melbourne,” said Muguruza.

Muguruza joins reigning French and US Open champions Jelena Ostapenko and Sloane Stephens in the draw for the Sydney tournament, starting Sunday.

Venus Williams, Petra Kvitova, and Angelique Kerber will also play.

SYDNEY, Jan 4 (Agencies): England skipper Joe Root again missed out on an elusive first century in the series as Australia fought back with two late wickets on the opening day of the fifth Test on Thursday.

Root was out to a superb diving catch by Mitchell Marsh at square leg for 83 in the day’s penultimate over before Jonny Bairstow was caught behind in the final over.

Root slumped to his haunches in dismay after missing out on a hundred following his fourth halfcentury of the series.

Root and Malan recovered England’s first innings with a 133-run stand after the tourists had slumped to 95 for three following the loss of Melbourne doublecenturion Alastair Cook.

Malan lived a charmed life in his half-century, surviving a run out attempt and a dropped Steve Smith catch to provide stoic support for his skipper. At the close, England were 233 for five with Malan left unbeaten on 55 off 160 balls when Bair-

Cape Town, Jan 4 (IANS): After registering nine consecutive Test series victories since 2015, India will be duly tested in overseas conditions when they aim to overcome a formidable South Africa in the first of three match series at the Newlands here on Friday.

India have not won against the Proteas on South African soil since 1992 -- losing four and drawing one in 2010-11.

India will bank on their premier batsmen -- Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli -- who ended 2017 as the second and fourth highest runs scorers in the longset

format respectively in the calender year. Key Indian batsmen Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, Murali Vijay and Lokesh Rahul will only look to add depth to the batting department.

Pacer Jasprit Bumrah alongside Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be tested against the fearsome South African batting on the green-top wicket.

South Africa, on the other hand will look to flourish on their home conditions under the likes of batsmen Hashim Amla, AB de Villiers and Faf du Plessis.

SL sack ODI skipper Thisara Perera

Sharapova beats Diyas to enter Shenzhen Open semi-finals

CO L O M B O, J a n 4 (Agencies): Sri Lanka on Thursday ousted Thisara Perera as one-day captain and said it would announce a replacement next week.

Perera took on the job in late November, succeeding Upul Tharanga, who was sacked after a series of losses.

Sri Lanka Cricket said it would name a successor after consulting new coach Chandika Hathurusingha, who has pledged to get tough with the under-performing national team.

“During the discussion, the chairman of selectors informed me that they are considering appointing either Angelo Mathews or Dinesh Chandimal to fill the role,” the SLC quoted its President Thilanga Sumathipala as saying.

Sri Lanka, who tour Bangladesh later this month, are under pressure after a series of defeats, most recently to India.

Maria Sharapova beat Zarina Diyas 6-3 6-3 in the Shenzhen Open quarter-finals on Thursday.

S h e n z h e n, Ja n 4 (Agencies): Former world number one Maria Sharapova cruised past Kazakhstan’s Zarina Diyas and into the semi-finals of the Shenzhen Open in China on Thursday.

Sharapova, who won 6-3 6-3, struck 24 winners and five aces to stay on course for a title clash with top-ranked Simona Halep after the Romanian dismissed Aryna Sabalenka 6-2 6-2.

“I’m glad that I ended up being the winner of the match,” Sharapova said in a courtside interview.

“I didn’t play my best tennis and there’s certainly a lot of things to improve on in the next. The great thing is that I’m through and have another chance to play tomorrow.”

The five-times grand slam champion committed 22 unforced errors in the match but stepped up her game at decisive moments

SYDNEY, Jan 4 (Agencies): Former world number one Andy Murray withdrew from the Australian Open Thursday after failing to recover from a hip injury, joining injured Japanese star Kei Nishikori on the sidelines. The 30-year-old suffered the injury last year and has not played on the ATP tour since losing in the quarter-finals at Wimbledon.

“Sadly I won’t be playing in Melbourne this year, as I am not yet ready to compete,” Murray said in a statement.

“I’ll be flying home shortly to assess all the options but I appreciate all the messages of support and I hope to be back playing soon.” Australian Open’s tournament director Craig Tiley said he respected what was a “very hard decision for Andy”.

“We are fully aware that Andy has been going through a difficult period with his hip and that he’s done everything possible to prepare for the Australian summer,” Tiley added.

Murray’s withdrawal comes amid a string of injury concerns that have plagued some of the world’s top players and cast doubt on their participation first Grand Slam of the year, which is due to begin in Melbourne on January 15.

stow was caught behind off Josh Hazlewood for five.

Root reached his halfcentury off 82 balls cover driving Mitchell Marsh for four, but Malan was fortunate not to be run out two balls later.

Malan, on 28, cut towards backward point and there was confusion over the run with Root steaming down the pitch and Malan stuttering and then setting off for the non-striker’s end.

But the throw from wicketkeeper Tim Paine was off target and bowler Nathan Lyon was unable to effect the run out with Malan well out of his ground.

Malan had another life on 34 when Smith dropped a sharp ankle-high chance at slip off Lyon.

Only last week in Melbourne Smith put down two catches in Alastair Cook’s unbeaten double century.

Cook looked on his way to another big score until Josh Hazlewood struck in the 33rd over. Hazlewood’s leg before wicket appeal was

Juventus players celebrate after scoring a goal against city rival Torino.

TURIN, Jan 4 (Agencies): Douglas Costa and Mario Mandzukic scored in either half as defending champions Juventus advanced to the semi-finals of the Italian Cup on Wednesday with a 2-0 win over city rivals Torino.

Brazilian Costa opened after quarter of an hour in the Allianz Stadium with Croatian Mandzukic adding the second amid controversy on 69 minutes to set up a meeting with Atalanta, who eliminated Serie A leaders Napoli 2-1 on Tuesday, in the final four.

Lazio, finalists in 2017, will meet AC Milan in the other semi-final played over two legs on January 31 and February 28.

The winning team will earn a direct entry to the group stages of the Europa

League. “We’ve reached the semi-final for the fourth year running and the lads took the right approach to this game,” said coach Massimiliano Allegri.

Torino had wanted a free-kick for Sami Khedira’s challenge on Afriyie Acquah in the build-up to Mandzukic’s goal which was awarded after consultation with the video assistant referee (VAR).

“I didn’t see the incident and I will not comment. I never comment on VAR. I will just say we could have scored another couple of goals at least.”

Allegri added that the three-time reigning champions were not taking anything for granted against Atalanta who won their only ever title in the Italian Cup back in 1963.

Torino suffered badly during their last meeting with Juventus 4-0 in September but this time came close to scoring through Mbaye Niange just after Costa’s opener.

But they were no match for the record 12-time winners with Costa almost getting a second after 59 minutes with Paulo Dybala also on form.

Mandzukic beat the offside trap to lob over Vanja Milinkovic-Savic in the Torino goal, with VAR confirming to the fury of coach Sinisa Mihajlovic who was banished from the sidelines for dissent.

Torino - who eliminated AS Roma in the last 16 - now turn their focus back to Serie A to try to earn European football next season as they sit tenth.

turned down on-field, but on review the ball was found to be just pitching in line with the left-hander’s leg stump and hitting middle and Cook was given out for 39 off 104 balls.

Fellow opener Mark Stoneman earlier hit some nice drives among his four fours before he nicked a rising Pat Cummins delivery

to Tim Paine for 24 off 24 balls in the 10th over.

James Vince looked set after 82 minutes at the crease before he shaped for a square cut at a wide Cummins delivery only to be caught behind for 25 in the 29th over.

Usman Khawaja jarred his left knee as he carved out a large chunk of topsoil in

sliding to prevent a boundary off Malan in the 56th over but returned to the field later. Australia have already clinched the Ashes with an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-Test series.

Brief scores: England 233/5 (Joe Root 83, Dawid Malan 55 batting; Pat Cummins 2/44) against Australia.

of the contest to get past her spirited rival.

Sharapova’s only title in 2017 came at the Tianjin Open, after she came back from a 15-month doping ban, and the world number 59 is aiming for a title-winning start to the year in her first visit to Shenzhen.

“I feel like I’m having a nice little tour of China.

It’s my fourth Chinese city in a few months,” Sharapova added.

“It’s obviously been a great welcome here. It took many years for me to play this event but I’m really glad that I did.”

Sharapova plays Katerina Siniakova next after the defending champion beat fellow Czech Kristyna Pliskova 6-2 6-2.

Earlier, fourth seed Irina-Camelia Begu had to work hard to overcome Timea Babos 7-5 7-5 to set up a semi-final meeting with her compatriot Halep.
