SHILLONG, JUL 9: Noting that the North Eastern states suffers from the lack of adequate private investment, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday said that the Narendra Modi-led government is committed to ensure socio-economic development of this region as per its potential and also ensure peace and prosperity to the citizens.

“NEC and State Government will have to ensure time bound completion of ongoing schemes in order to enable it to approach the Ministry of Finance for additional funds during 2018-19. Civil society and general public have very important role to play in all our developmental efforts. They should be the partners of social and economic change through social audit.

DIMAPUR, JUL 9 (NPN): Calling for not reducing North East Council into a mere recommending body and a knowledge hub without necessary resources, Nagaland Governor PB Acharya said the recommendation of Expenditure Finance Committee for continuing NEC schemes till 2020 needed re-examination.

Rajnath Singh chairing the 67th Plenary Session of the North Eastern Council in Shillong on Monday.

addressing the 67th Plenary meeting of the NEC here in Meghalaya.

Singh suggested the NITI Forum for the North East to meet on a regular basis and decide on the action to be taken on recommendation by October, 2018 and for this, he even advocated call a special Session of North Eastern Council The meeting was attended by Governors and Chief Ministers of all the eight North Eastern states, including Union DoNER minister, Dr. Jitendra Singh here in Meghalaya.

Keeping in mind the low industrial base of the Region, he said the Union Cabinet chaired by Prime

Minister has, in March 2018, approved the North East Industrial Development Scheme (NEIDS), 2017 with financial outlay of Rs.3,000 crore upto March, 2020.

Promising that government will provide necessary allocations for remaining period of the scheme after assessment before March 2020, Singh was hopeful that this newly introduced scheme will promote industrialization in the States of the North Eastern Region and will boost employment and create source of income. The NEC Chairman also urged the Chief Ministers to avail this opportunity and create a conducive environment for

industrialization so that new industrial units are set up and the much needed employment is generated and also new avenues are created.

Singh urged up the State governments specially Chief Ministers to avail this opportunity and create a conducive environment for industrialization so that new industrial units are set up and the much needed employment is generated and also new avenues are created.

On ‘Transformation of Aspirational Districts’ programme which aims to quickly and effectively transform some of the most underdeveloped districts of the country, Singh underscored on the need of the NEC, should deliberate on strategies to transform the 14 identified Districts of the North East as leading examples for other districts of North East Region to emulate.

Informing that the Cabinet had recently approved a financial package of Rs. 4500 crore beyond March 2017 till March 2020, Singh said the Cabinet has also directed NEC to look into specific areas and convergence of schemes of other Ministries.

Gov, CM pitch for redrawing funds at NEC meet NEC for expeditiously taking up the proposed greenfield airport at Ciethu. Although Nagaland was strategically located, only when it has good connectivity would the State and country benefit from the Act East policy, he added.

Referring to PM Narendra Modi’s emphasis on converting the Northeast into an organic hub, Acharya urged NEC to come forward and help the States of the region in getting their produce certified as organic, build a brand and create value chain linking producers with consumers.

Pointing out that Nagaland had immense potential for horticulture crops, besides food processing and packaging, he called for strengthening upgrading Dimapur-based Central Institute for Horticulture and upgrading it into a fullfledged regional institute for horticulture. He said the State government had introduced smart metering and pre-paid meters in certain localities for improving efficiency and reducing losses in distribution of power and sought NEC support to cover the entire State.

DIMAPUR, JUL 9 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio has urged the Centre to ensure that budget for North Eastern Council (NEC) was redrawn and funds allotted to the council be utilised basically for NEC works and not for clearing the liabilities of governmental bodies and agencies of the region.

Speaking on the inaugural day of the two-day plenary of NEC at Shillong on Monday, Rio also said there had been sufficient accumulation of funds due to parking of 10% of their budget by Central ministries for the Northeast, and suggested allocating the money to the Union ministry for development of north-eastern region (DoNER) for clearing liabilities and taking up new schemes.

The chief minister pointed out that the present system of priority lists and retention of projects sanctioned and approved caused much delay and that energy, time and resources were wasted chasing these projects thereby delaying development. He said as there was much ambiguity

on what will be approved, the States were not able to plan their projects.

He explained that projects retained and put on priority lists raised expectations of the people, however, delay in their approval created a negative impact in people’s minds, for which the State governments and political leadership often ended up in an uncomfortable position.

This contributed further towards deficit in public confidence on the Central government, he added.

Pointing out that there were multiple agencies like NEC, DoNER and the recently-created North East Forum, Rio called for clarity on the roles of these bodies and also advocated giving flexibility to the State governments for utilisation of Central fund allocations.

Stating that the Northeastern States were lagging behind other States and regions in terms of development, he urged NEC to continue playing a proactive role in ensuring all-round development of the region.

SC upholds death sentence to 4 Nirbahaya rapists Metsubo plans to upgrade Mkg town NEW DELHI, JUL 9 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Monday rejected review petitions filed by three of the four convicts and upheld the death punishment in the horrific 2012 gang rape and murder of a young Delhi professional who came to be known as Nirbhaya.

Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justice R. Banumathi and Justice Ashok Bhushan said the petitions lacked grounds for a review.

Convicts Mukesh, 29, Pawan Gupta, 22, and Vinay Sharma, 23, had sought recall of the Supreme Court’s May 5, 2017 verdict upholding the death sentence awarded by a trial court and confirmed by the Delhi High Court. The fourth, Akshay Kumar Singh, 31, had not filed for a review.

Pronouncing the judgement, Justice Bhushan said the review petition must show an error resulting in miscarriage of justice. He

Nirbhaya’s parents show victory sign after the Supreme Court’s verdict on Dec 2012 gang rape case, on Monday. (PTI)

said none of the petitions by the convicts pointed out to an error leading to miscarriage of justice.

The court also said the hearing on the appeals against the Delhi High Court judgement confirming the death sentence lasted 38 days as defence lawyers were given full opportunity to state their cases.

“Review applications cannot be entertained. (A) convict cannot be allowed to re-agitate the grounds of appeal. There has to be an apparent error on record to show it resulted in miscarriage of justice.

“The death row convicts failed to point out error in the judgement. (The) convicts were heard elabo-

rately during appeals and no grounds have been made out for review of its verdict,” Justice Bhushan said.

The victim’s mother Asha Devi said she hoped the convicts would be executed soon.

“There is more fight ahead, but we have got justice once again. We hope that the legal formalities are taken care of and the culprits are taken to the gallows as soon as possible.”

Union Minister for Women and Child Development Maneka Gandhi said she was “satisfied” with the Supreme Court verdict in the case that led to the amendment of the Criminal Procedure Code to make rape punishable with death penalty.

The convicts, who lived in Delhi, are now left with another legal option, seeking a relook at death sentences through a curative petition.

Nagaland needs to do more for PwDs: Pandey Correspondent

KOHIMA, JUL 9 (NPN): Chief Commissioner for persons with disability (PwD), Dr Kamlesh Kumar Pandey said Nagaland government lacked awareness on the Persons with Disabilities Act, 1995 and stressed that the government needed to work more for PwD in the State.

Briefing media persons at Hotel Vivor here on Monday afternoon after a review meeting with disability department and NGOs, Pandey said PwD was a State subject and rights enshrined in PwD Act must be implemented.

He added that NGOs too were not much aware of the Act and neither were these registered with government regulatory bodies or national institutes that work for PwD. Stating that the Centre had released Rs 4 crore in 2017 for PWDs

Dr Kamlesh Kumar Pandey

in the North-eastern States, he added that the fund was, however, not utilised since the Act was not implemented properly in the region.

He informed the media that the State government had issued certificates to about 7,000 out of the 29,361 PWDs, even as he underlined the need for proper implementation of the PWD Act as soon as possible. Pandey claimed that to reach out to PwD and hear their grievances

regarding availability of benefits meant for them, the chief commissionerate office had organised mobile courts in different parts of the country along with PWD commissionerates of the States.

He also proposed to organise similar mobile courts in remote areas of Nagaland to ascertain the facilities available for the differently-abled.

State PwD commissioner Dr Atha Visol, who too was present at the press meet, said the cabinet had approved draft rules and that the final draft would be released after the next cabinet meeting scheduled on July 18. He said as there was no budget for PwD, the number of student beneficiaries of government welfare schemes could not be increased from the existing 2,000.

Deputy chief commissioner Sanjay Kant Prasad

and officials of allied department were also present at the press briefing.

Meanwhile, it has been learnt five years after the appointment of a commissioner for PwD, the State government has still not established an office for the commissioner to discharge his duties. The issue came to light during an interaction with the PwD commissioner, who said he had no office or any staff either.

Currently, Visol who works from his home office, exuded confidence that with the installation of a new government in the State he would finally have a proper office.

He also said that though the Central government had sanctioned fund for constructing 16 government office buildings having access for PwD, not a single such structure had come up in the State.

NPCC seeks Gov’s NPF reject JD(U)’s appeal on CM’s statement intervention on NH-29

DIMAPUR: Alleging sheer negligence on the part of authorities concerned in maintaining NH-29 and causing deliberate inconvenience to people travelling on the highway, Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) has sought the intervention of governor PB Acharya by convening a coordination meeting immediately on the matter.

In a statement issued to the media on Monday, NPCC president K Therie said the importance of NH29 (Dimapur-Kohima road) was known to all and served as a lifeline for Nagaland and Manipur. With thousands of vehicles plying on this road every day, its condition was known to everyone, including the governor, he added.

However, its condition had deteriorated beyond tolerance, with dust blinding the road on sunny days and slushy mud on rainy days, he pointed out.

According to Therie,

the road had not only become a health hazard but was also affecting the State’s economy.

Pointing out that the people had been suffering since the past two winters and summers due to the abject condition of NH-29, the NPCC chief warned that, given the current pace of work, it could take several more years before the fourlane work on the highway was completed. He also feared that work might even be abandoned altogether due one reason or the other, besides obtaining a court injunction as had happened with the Special Accelerated Road Development Programme for North-Eastern region (SARDP-NE) roads in the State.

Therie further alleged that there was no sign of concern for the inconvenience and sufferings caused to the public from the authorities and contractors concerned, viz., the State

government, Border Road Organisation’s chief engineer for the Jotsoma bypass to Kohima, National Highways & Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd general manager, M/s Ramky-ECI (JV) 124-140 km, M/s Ramky-ECI (JV) 140-156 km and M/s Gayatri Project Ltd 156-172 km.

Stating that there was no dispute that a fourlane road was required, the NPCC chief, however, stressed that a good serviceable road too was needed.

He said the portion of the road that sunk couple of days back was not a new development, but a consequence of negligence.

Alleging that both sides of the road near Kohima had been encroached by commercial establishments, the NPCC president called upon the district administration to curb the menace.

Though NH29 is a twolane road, it is hardly a single lane today, he added.

DIMAPUR: The Naga People’s Front (NPF) has issued a rejoinder to the state JD (U) press statement that appeared in local dailies on July 7 appealing for acceptance of the clarification given by chief minister, Neiphiu Rio regarding the Naga integration issue.

A rejoinder from the NPF press bureau, questioned the JD (U) why NPF “should blindly accept the clarification”.

NPF asked the JD(U) to not interfere in the stand of another political party.

“The JD(U) cannot insist the NPF to be satisfied with CM’s clarification” it stated.

According to NPF, its

constitution emphasizes on integration of contiguous Naga Areas and therefore, it will continue to pursue this till it is achieved.

It contended that when the Naga National Workers and the GoI were trying hard to work out a solution, it was premature for the chief minister to announce that integration was not possible.

According to NPF, the clarification from the NDPP blaming the media for misinterpreting the statement followed by the chief minister’s clarification that he was quoting Union Home Minister, Rajnath Singh’s view was an attempt to mislead the Naga

people and a hurdle to the Naga peace process.

“The issue is not concluded here and NPF will never consider CM clarification as putting the said issue to rest” said the rejoinder.

It invited the JD (U) to explain their stand but asked it to not expect the NPF to accept the clarification with it.

NPF stated that it viewed the “destructive statement” made by the chief minister on June 12 to the media, seriously.

It also added that the party was wondering why the PDA government was silent on the controversial Citizenship Amendment

Bill 2016, when the neighbouring North Eastern states, even the BJP ruled states, Manipur and Assam, were opposing the bill.

The PDA government has not pointed out the benefits of enforcing the bill either, it stated.

Further, it asserted that NPF was not raising these two issues because they were an opposition party, but because the government of the day should take decisions for the welfare of the people. The NPF also warned that the future of the Naga people should not be politicized just for the sake of the chair and funds.

agitation within the university campus be stopped as it infringes the code of conduct of the university’s ordinance and asked the protesters to “refrain from unlawful acts”.

The release created ‘controversy’ as the university does not have PRO at the moment and the release was not signed by any individual.

Asserting that there was no PRO in the Manipur University, a joint statement of MUSU, MUTA and MUSA alleged that the statement was issued

by VC Prof AP Pandey in the guise of PRO. MUTA president I Tomba Singh said issuing of press statement under

the office of PRO when the University itself has no PRO amounts to “continuation of indulging in false fabrication” by Pandey to “mislead” the public.

On the other hand, an emergency executive meeting of MUTA convened today resolved to expel registrar-in-charge of MU from being a member of the MUTA with immediate effect.

MUTA decided to expel registrar-in-charge prof M Shyamkesho Singh after a threadbare discussion on his anti-university activities and in view of his “dogged refusal to respond to the advice of his parent association (MUTA)”, a statement of the MUTA said.

SHILLONG, JUL 9: Chief Ministers of the north-eastern states on Monday appealed to Home Minister Rajnath Singh to review their recent decisions to put on hold developmental projects sanctioned by North Eastern Council (NEC), the regional planning body, to meet the development needs of the region.

“We welcome the proposal to reposition NEC into a conflict resolution, development planning and knowledge hub for the Northeast and rolling out of new scheme for 2018-2020 is a welcome step, but such decision is expected to be determined by the plenary meeting of the NEC,” Mizoram Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla said addressing the 67th plenary meeting here in Meghalaya.

Thanhawla, expressed disappointment with the central government’s decision on the new NEC scheme bypassing the plenary Council which is considered to be

the highest decision making authority for the NEC. He said that Rs 4,500 crore earmarked for the new NEC scheme for the whole North Eastern States during 2017-18 to 2019-2020 is going to be too less to have a meaningful impact for the region’s development.

“The earmarked funds include Rs 2,357 crore for committed liabilities of ongoing projects, Rs 1,000 crore for North Eastern Road Sector Development Scheme (NERSDS), and Rs 640 crore for NLCPR liabilities.

However there is no fund left for new projects during the new scheme. It is highly doubtful that the region can be made an engine of growth with such a meagre investment from the Centre,” Thanhawla said.

Meghalaya chief minister Conrad Sangma said the recent decision of the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region and the NEC will have a dampening effect on the socio-economic development of the North Eastern States.

Woman given ‘Godman’ link suspected in UP govt draws flak for ‘compulsory triple talaq over burnt roti in UP illegal confinement of 67 minors retirement’ order for babus in 50s

L U C K N OW, J ul 9 (AGENCIES): Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath led Uttar Pradesh government is facing flak for its order to introduce “compulsory retirement” for employees aged 50 years and above if they are found neglecting their duty.

Around four lakh employees out of a total of 16 lakh working with the state government would come under the ambit of the screening for the order.

A detailed report of the work and performance of the employees would have to be submitted by department heads by July 31.

Employees are however claiming that these are attempts aimed at harassing government servants.

“It will not be tolerated,” president of the UP Secretariat Employees’ Association, Yadavendra Mishra said adding that a meeting would be held to discuss the order and decide the future course of action.

The employees might even go on strike if the

Yogi Adityanath state government goes ahead with the exercise to force out senior government employees.

The order, dated July 6, has been marked to the additional chief secretary, the principal secretaries and the secretaries in the government. “You all (departmental heads) should complete screening of all the employees above 50 years of age for compulsory retirement by July 31. For considering 50 years of age, the cut off date will be March 31, 2018,” a government order issued by Additional Chief

Secretary Mukul Singhal read.

“It means employees who have completed 50 years by this date will be considered for screening,” the order said.

It also said that according to r ules, any gover nment employee -- whether temporary or permanent -- can opt for retirement. While such orders have been in vogue since 1986, they were not being implemented in letter and spirit by several departments.

Quoting original Rule 56 of the Finance Handbook, the order said that the appointing authority, at any given time, can retire temporary or permanent government employees by giving notice after attainment of 50 years of age. The time period of this notice will be three months.

It also quoted the order issued by the state personnel department on October 26, 1986, which while giving guidelines for

the same, defined in detail the structure of the screening committee. Following this, orders were passed in 1989, 2000 and 2007 as well for the implementation of the same.

CM Adityanath has said that his government will not allow corrupt or non-performing officials to remain in service as they are a liability and affect good governance, a senior official said. mmediately after taking over as the chief minister last year, Adityanath had said that he would be strict in duty timings and officials needed to be punctual.

Adityanath had ordered for a similar exercise last year in May-June to screen IAS and IPS officers who had crossed the age of 50. The exercise was aimed at giving voluntary retirement to those who were found corrupt or non-performing. However, none of them was forced to retire despite a list being submitted to the government, officials said.

Jaipur, Jul 9 (PTI): An FIR was registered after 67 minor girls were rescued from a hotel in Rajsthan’s Rajsamand district last week, the police said today, even as a member of the state Commission for Protection of Child Rights asserted that the incident is linked to self-styled godman Virendra Dev Dixit’s ashram.

The girls, aged between five and 16 years, hailing from Nepal, and many Indian states, including Chhattisgarh, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh, were rescued from the hotel by a joint team of the police and the children welfare committee (CWC) on July 4. The police have said they are probing if the organisation that had wrongfully confined the girls had links to Dixit.

“We have registered an FIR against unnamed accused. We are investigating whether the organisation that wrongfully confined the girls has links to Virdendra Dev Dixit,” SHO Rajnagar police station Dinesh Kumar said.

Police said they are probing if the case had links to selfstyled godman Virendra Dev Dixit (pictured).

S P Singh, a member of Rajasthan State Commission for Protection of Child Rights, said the organisation that illegally confined the minors was linked to the ashram of self-styled godman Dixit.

“The links of organisation that wrongfully confined the girls at a hotel have been found with the ashram of absconding spiritual guru Virendra Dev Dixit,” Singh told PTI. He said that they have written to the respective states to which the girls belong, in order to verify the identity of the girls so that they can be handed over to their bio-

logical parents only. Singh said that the girls had been secretly shifted from Sirohi to Rajsamand district.

According to the police, the 67 girls were rescued from Raj Mahal Hotel under Rajnagar police station limits last Wednesday.

The girls belonged to Nepal and India’s Haryana, Assam, Bengal, Odisha, Delhi, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Punjab, Tamil Nadu and Sikkim states.

The rescued girls have been temporarily kept at a shelter home run by Asra Vikas Sansthan in Rajsamand.

The CWC had lodged a complaint with the Rajnagar police station, following which an FIR was registered against unnamed accused under IPC sections 342 (wrongful confinement), 370 (buying or disposing of any person as a slave), 370 (5) (trafficking of more than one person) and sections 42, 75 of Juvenile Justice Act on July 7.

Banda (UP), Jul 9 (PTI): A woman has complained to police that she was given triple talaq and forced to leave her husband’s house because a roti she had prepared got burnt.

The incident had happened in Pahretha village of Mahoba district and it came to light after the 24year-old woman registered a complaint with the police yesterday, ASP Banshraj Yadav said.

On the basis of her complaint, a case of domestic violence will be registered the husband, he said.

The woman, who got married last year, also alleged that her husband had inflicted burn injuries on her with cigarettes three days before ‘divorcing’ her by way of triple talaq, the police said.

The Supreme Court had on August 22 last year struck down triple talaq, calling the practice unconstitutional and in violation of Article 14 of the Constitution, which provides for equality before the law.

Amarinder clarifies on dope 35k cr deposited into farmers’ Prez must drop Jayant Sinha, test of government employees accounts last year: Chouhan Giriraj Singh from cabinet: CPI

Amarinder also ordered various steps to be taken for further augmenting the government’s efforts to ensure strict enforcement of the drug laws, as well as better systems for prevention, de-addiction and rehabilitation, according to an official spokesman. The Punjab government had ordered mandatory dope test on all its employees including police officials.

The decision had at-

tracted criticism from various quarters, including government employees, who have accused the ruling dispensation of targeting them.

The chief minister today said the government will pursue its Enforcement-De-Addiction-Prevention (EDP) strategy with vigour in order to eliminate the drug menace from the state.

Besides making SHOs accountable for ridding villages of the menace in their respective areas in a time-bound manner, the chief minister also ordered expediting of pending drug-related cases.

It will be the responsibility of the SDMs and DSPs, along with the SHOs concerned, to ensure that their respective areas are totally drug free, said the chief minister.

Dewas, Jul 9 (PTI): Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that his government had deposited over Rs 35,000 crore into the accounts of farmers as part of various state-run schemes over the past one year.

He was speaking at a “Kisan Mahasammelan” organised here yesterday where he distributed approval letters to beneficiaries of various state and Central welfare schemes. “Financial assistance of about Rs. 35,000 crore under various schemes has been deposited in the bank accounts of farmers in Madhya Pradesh during the last one year,” Chouhan said. He said that the state government had carried out the “impossible” work of connecting the Kshipra River with the Narmada in order to enhance irrigation facilities. “With the blessings of the Narmada, potable water is convenient-

ly available at Dewas today.

An irrigation scheme has also been prepared for the Narmada-Kalisindh Part-I and Part-II and NarmadaGambhir Part-I and Part-II (river linking projects),” Chouhan said.

Similarly, the Narmada Malwa-Kshipra Part-II linking work will be developed which would provide irrigation facilities to 14.20 lakh acres of land in Dewas, Ujjain, Shajapur and Agar districts in various stages, he said.

Chouhan stated that the entire pattern of crops will change in these districts in the next five years after this irrigation arrangement.

The chief minister also performed bhoomi-poojan (foundation stone-laying ceremony) of three roads, estimated to cost Rs. 34.81 crore, under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana.

Heavy rains cripple Mumbai; 300 stuck at residential area in Palghar Mumbai, Jul 9 (PTI): H e av y m o n s o o n r a i n s lashed the megapolis and its neighbouring areas, flooding streets, rail tracks and crippling life in the city.

Around 300 people were stuck at their homes in Vasai town of the adjoining Palghar district due to waterlogging in the area.

The downpour -- the highest of the season so far in a day -- caused traffic jams as many roads and streets in Mumbai were flooded and people were seen wading through knee-deep water.

Vehicles on many roads were seen crawling because of rain and low visibility,

while potholes compounded the problem.

Maharashtra Education Minister Vinod Tawde declared a holiday today for schools and colleges in Mumbai due to heavy downpour.

The Mumbai University said examinations will be rescheduled for students who could not appear for it today.

The issue of heavy rains and its impact also figured in the Maharashtra Legislature’s proceedings today.

The state government ordered an inquiry into the flooding of the state legis-

lature complex in Nagpur after heavy rains last week.

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis told the Legislative Assembly that the inquiry would ascertain loopholes in arrangements for the monsoon session and whether problems were deliberately left unattended.

Nagpur is hosting the monsoon session of the state Legislature, but on Friday both the Assembly and the Council were adjourned for the day, shortly after convening, due to a power blackout caused by rains.

At the Legislative Council, Shiv Sena MLC Neelam Gorhe sought information about the “dangerous bridges” where traffic was stopped.

Meanwhile, there was heavy water-logging in the central areas of Kurla, Sion

and Dadar. Mira Road (in adjoining Thane district), and Nallasopara and Vasai (in Palghar district) were largely affected due to the heavy showers.

Train services of the Central Railway and Western Railway were slightly delayed due to water-logging on rail tracks in some places, officials said.

Some long-distance trains to Gujarat and northern states were halted at Borivali as tracks near Nallasopara and Virar were submerged. The trains left after a delay of about one hour, a spokesperson of the Western Railway said.

Jayant Sinha (L) and Giriraj Singh (file) New Delhi, Jul 9 (PTI): The Communist Party of India (CPI) today urged President Ram Nath Kovind to drop Union ministers Jayant Sinha and Giriraj Singh from the cabinet, alleging that they acted against the spirit of Constitution by “challenging the dictates of Supreme Court”.

In a statement, the Left party accused the ministers of supporting those accused of lynching.

Union Minister of State for Civil Aviation Jayant Sinha stoked a controversy after he felicitated eight convicts in the Ramgarh lynching case when they came out of prison on bail last week.

While, Minister of State for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Giriraj Singh paid a visit in jail to those accused of inciting communal violence.

“President must drop Jayant Sinha and Giriraj Singh from Union Cabinet, who were not only violating the solemn oath, but also challenging the dictates of the highest court of the country,” the CPI said.

The party pointed out that the Supreme Court in its verdict had expressed its strong resentment on mass lynching by so-called cow vigilantes and categorically ordered the central and state governments to stop such inhuman and barbaric acts.

The Left party also

alleged that these acts of the ministers were meant to “communalise” the social fabric of the country ahead of the upcoming Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh assembly elections as well as the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

It accused the RSSBJP and its “satellite” organisations of spreading “unfounded rumours” which ignited operations like lynching.

The recent incidents in Tripura, Jharkhand, Maharashtra and Assam have resulted in a deep sense of fear among the Muslim minorities and all believers of Indian Constitution and democratic norms, the statement added.

Talibans in Lynchistan

I

t is sad but true, that due to the politics of divide and hate, India has been shamed and shocked by rampaging thugs who have lynched around 30 people since 2014 and that rising trend has led to the coining of India as - Lynchistan. It is convenient to blame all on fake news as it hides the true nature of the syndrome that has spread across India. Vigilantism under any pretext- be it to protect cows or anti-child lifting-is a threat on the foundation of India’s constitutional democracy. The lynchings that have taken place, appear to be the consequence of the kind of incitement and abetment that has been raised to dangerous levels. It is also very unfortunate that instead of calling a spade a spade, the Modi government’s dichotomy over the issue of ‘street justice’ as it may; has only made the situation more volatile for the coming days ahead. The lynchings which have taken place find resonance with the extreme rightist ideology and those who have taken it upon themselves to give rise to Talibanism in Lynchistan. When the world expressed shock over the lynching on minority communities and the spate of attacks on members of other religious communities, prime minister Modi invoked Mahatma Gandhi’s name to state that the father of the nation would never have approved such crimes. He also said in 2016 that anti-socials involved in dastardly attacks were masquerading as cow protectors. All that has been said by a person, no less than the most popular and powerful prime minister of the world’s largest democracy, should have not only been noted but practised.

Unfortunately, the message that has gone to the folds within the Modi government seem to suggest, that contrary to whatever has been said, they were only for public consumption. In the past too union ministers and MPs spewed hate speeches and the forced response on them from the prime minister, was not to speak out of turn. The message has been lost and was confirmed when union minister of state for civil aviation Jayant Sinha sparked a political row by felicitating eight men convicted in the Ramgarh lynching case. In a photograph the minister was shown welcoming the eight men at his house on the outskirts of Hazaribagh and even garlanding some of them. By felicitating convicted murderers, and offering them public and legal support, union minister Jayant Sinha acknowledges links of BJP with mob lynching and cow vigilantism.

A second Union Minister, Giriraj Singh, joined the bandwagon after a show of support for a set of riots-accused leaders, whom he visited at a jail in Bihar’s Nawada. The spate of mob lynchings the series of incidents that have taken place in India during the past four to five years, reveal a shocking trend where self proclaimed defenders and protectors have taken the law into their own hands and murder of around 30 victims This statistical analysis conclusively refutes the online right wing’s counternarrative. It must be made clear, that the BJP cannot be solely blamed for the rising trend since these began to rear their ugly heads since the time of the Congress-led UPA. Those who preach or practise or condone acts of murder , rape or violence belong to the same species no matter whatever political parties they belong to.

DailyDevotion Will You Examine Yourself?

Joshua said to the people, “You cannot serve the Lord…” —Joshua 24:19 Do you have even the slightest reliance on anything or anyone other than God? Is there a remnant of reliance left on any natural quality within you, or on any particular set of circumstances? Are you relying on yourself in any manner whatsoever regarding this new proposal or plan which God has placed before you? Will you examine yourself by asking these probing questions? It really is true to say, “I cannot live a holy life,” but you can decide to let Jesus Christ make you holy. “You cannot serve the Lord…”— but you can place yourself in the proper position where God’s almighty power will flow through you. Is your relationship with God sufficient for you to expect Him to exhibit His wonderful life in you?

“The people said to Joshua, ‘No, but we will serve the Lord!’ ” (Joshua 24:21). This is not an impulsive action, but a deliberate commitment. We tend to say, “But God could never have called me to this. I’m too unworthy. It can’t mean me.” It does mean you, and the more weak and feeble you are, the better. The person who is still relying and trusting in anything within himself is the last person to even come close to saying, “I will serve the Lord.”

We say, “Oh, if only I really could believe!” The question is, “Will I believe?” No wonder Jesus Christ placed such emphasis on the sin of unbelief. “He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief” (Matthew 13:58). If we really believed that God meant what He said, just imagine what we would be like! Do I really dare to let God be to me all that He says He will be?

Quotes

Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children. ~ Charles R. Swindoll

I

checked into an ayurvedic centre in Haryana for a week. Clean, spartan and strict, it was the ideal place for me…. Except for the flies. I was covered with oil or mud for the better part of the day and showered three times but it seemed to me that I had become a target for all the flies of the district. No one else seemed to have a problem.

But walking, sleeping, being massaged or eating, I was brushing away the House Fly, Musca domestica, and its more ubiquitous cousin the Bush Fly, Musca Vetutissima.

Why do flies sit on humans? It is so energy expensive for them. They are brushed away a thousand times, swatted, hurt, killed. Why don’t they sit on animals, or furniture?

(They do sit on animals, but only those that are hurt and cannot defend themselves.)

Since the common housefly doesn’t have any interest in sucking blood, (feeding on open wounds is a different story), you think they’d fly away from humans. After all, we’re a lot larger and more intimidating swatters.

The Fly has a very soft, fleshy, sponge-like mouth and when it lands on you and touches your skin, it won’t bite, it will suck up secretions on the skin. It is interested in sweat, proteins,

carbohydrates, salts, sugars and other chemicals and pieces of dead skin that keep flaking off. This type of fly also gets its nutrients from sitting around the eyes of livestock. It is hard to get it from anywhere else on hairy animals, which is also why they land more often on human skin which is comparatively less hairy.

Here are some reasons why they land on humans: * They are attracted to carbon dioxide which human beings breathe out. * They are attracted to the heat of the warm body, to sweat and salt, and the more the person sweats the more flies they attract. * Flies feed on dead cells and open wounds . * Oil is an important food for flies . Oily hair is an attractant. * Less hairy skin gives the fly spaces to vomit. A fly vomits on solid food to liquefy it. The house flies taste with their feet so if there is food on the skin, and space to liquefy it, they will land there. * Some body-odours are more attractive to flies than others. This is apart from the quantity of carbon dioxide that is emitted.

Houseflies are scavengers .The human body, like some of their favourite food sources -- faeces, food and rotting flesh -- radiates a sense of warmth and

Nagaland Post, Dimapur TUESDAY, JULY 10, 2018

Maybe it was the oil nourishment. With a voracious appetite, aided by an excellent sense of smell and a pair of complex eyes that covers half its head, the fly lands on us because it is constantly on the hunt for a warm place to eat, defecate, vomit and lay eggs.

In order to make the area in and around your home a “no fly” zone take basic preventative measures.

If you have a dog make sure you do not leave its faeces out in the open, as dog faeces serves as both buffet and egg depository.

Don’t leave food out for too long, pay special attention to kitchen utensils and surfaces, empty your garbage cans regularly and keep an eye out for organic rotting matter. Don’t leave food in pet bowls after they have eaten. Wipe down trash cans from the outside as well. Net all the windows and shut the doors. Check for cracks and holes (particularly around window screens) that they might be using. Unhygienic rubbish tips are a prime flybreeding site, but if garbage

is covered by a layer of soil, preferably daily, this can be avoided.

But why are certain people singled out?

Could it be the scent in the soap or shampoo?

Apparently, sweet fruity smells attract flies because they like sugar. Maybe your skin, mouth and nostrils are moister than others. It is also claimed that flies and gnats migrate to the taller persons in a group. You don’t have to sweat a lot - just more so than the rest of the people in your house to make it more likely for them to land on you.

Fruit flies are slightly smaller than the common house fly. They are not interested in human smells but in yeast, so they are attracted to things that are fermenting and can ferment, like sugar, fruit and, of course, actual yeast. So, if you drink alcohol and hang around with people who don’t, or if you use grooming products with alcohol in them, you will attract fruit flies. Don’t eat fruit outside? Switch your

soap if it is fruit smelling.

But apart from swatting and waiting for winter , there is little you can do.

Blowflies, also known as bottle flies, have metallic green or blue bodies, are large, and make a buzzing sound when they come near.

They are really a nuisance for me because they lay their eggs on animals, and my hospitals get thousands of animal patients every week suffering from maggot infestation. There are other flies as well: the Drain fly found in sewage beds whose wings are densely covered in hair and held tent–like over the body when at rest; the Flesh Fly, whose threestriped body looks like a chequer board, lays its eggs on decaying meat or fish or animal flesh.

Swatting a fly is so difficult. Their eyes allow them to see all around and they have a sixth sense about danger. According to the California Institute of Technology flies fly within 100 milliseconds of recognizing a threat.

Flies have been around since before humans. In the Biblical plague of Egypt, flies represent death and decay. The Philistine God Beelzebub’s name, (often equated with Satan), means Lord of the Flies. In Greek mythology Zeus sent a fly to bite Pegasus, the winged horse, causing his rider Bel-

lerophon to fall back to earth when he was attempting to fly to Mount Olympus the home of the gods. In the Red Indian Navajo religion Big Fly is an important spirit.

Many scientists have tried to find out how to use flies constructively. Suggestions range from mass rearing them and using them on animal manure garbage dumps. (Flies are recyclers.

They eat scraps and then excrete and turn it into a substance plants can use).

Or harvesting their maggots and feeding them to animals. Both these ideas seem insane to me.

Ogden Nash’s poem sums up our irritation with this being “God in His wisdom made the fly / And then forgot to tell us why.”

Perhaps to keep human populations down by spreading diseases that range from dysentery to typhoid and cholera. During the Second World War the Japanese, under Shiro Ishii, used special Yagi bombs on China.

The bombs contained flies coated with cholera bacteria. The bombs thrown in Baoshan in 1942 and Shandong in 1943 killed over 4 lakh people. Anyway now that I am back, my fly demons seem to have lessened. So maybe it was the oil. To join the animal welfare movement contact gandhim@nic.in, www. peopleforanimalsindia.org

Post-mortem NPF rejoinder to JD (U) Foreign versions of Naga history and its negative effects on Nagas today T

T

o begin from a broader perspective, many Christians think that history is not important. They say that the past is not important and we should not live in the past. Many as a result, do not know world history or even their own history and live under the influence the evolution theory and its fantastic version of history.

Coming to the Naga context, prior to the advent of the 19th century, our only source of history was our oral history passed down from generation to generation through the Morung institutions.

Then came the British imperialist in 1832, and in the face of stiff resistance from the Nagas, their curiosity drove them to Manipuri and Ahom written sources of Naga history. These neighbouring sources were however often biased and one sided. As for delving into real Naga history through Naga sources, the British historians were able to do this only after the establishment of the Naga Dobashi (translators) institution which came into existence after the last battle of Khonoma in 1880.

After the British left, Indian imperialist came in the late 1940s.

But like the British, they also came to conquer and rule. On their trail, they left thousands of Nagas dead and hundreds of Naga villages burnt to ashes. As a result, Indian writers who began to write about Naga history after the 1964 ceasefire had to write a “cover up “version of Naga history in order to cover up their crimes committed in Nagaland. These versions of Naga history and culture therefore portrayed Nagas as wild head-hunters

and savages whose unlawful activities had to be crushed by the Indian army for the benefit of the Nagas’ themselves who had always been Indians in history. (for example, read Y. D. Gundevia’s book;”War and Peace in Nagaland” or S.C. Dev’s book “Nagaland, the Untold story”).

This then was how Naga culture and history was portrayed to India and the world before some Naga historians and authors appeared in the scene very recently.

But in spite of these new developments, what greatly surprises one is the fact that even some of our educated history teachers in our own colleges and Universities still don’t know Naga history beyond the British and Indian records!

Tragically, many of them still continue to teach these foreign versions of our history to their students.

Now, why is knowledge of one’s own history so important for the existence and overall development of a nation? The answer is as simple as that- if a nation does not know its own history; such a nation can be reduced to just some refugees in their own lands. Or to put it from another perspective, such a nation can easily be absorbed by a bigger neighbour nation into the neighbour’s history and identity.

Such an “absorbed” nation will then become “subjects” or citizens of a neighbour nation without even realising what was happening to their own identity and history. Can Nagas be so stupid as not to realise that this is exactly what India and Burma has been trying to do to us for all these many years?

Finally, to end with the larger picture that I started with in this article, many Christians all over the world today are intellectually un-aware of the fact that all modern philosophies and political ideologies that have shattered the world from the 20th to the 21st centuries had their origins and inspiration from the theory of evolution that Darwin propounded in the mid 19th century (i.e. The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, 1859). Inspired by this new theory of man’s origins, revolutions were launched worldwide by Scientists, Philosophers, Political thinkers, and Psychologists. In their own respective fields, they reduced mankind into a species of evolved monkeys, political animals, and economic commodities etc. The struggle of human history was portrayed by them as one were all nations were engaged in a desperate fight for the “survival of the fittest.”

In conclusion, if we know our own unique history and can connect that history to mainstream world history and the Bible (which is God’s, revelation of human history), then nobody can shake us or absorb us into themselves. But if we are not bothered about our own history, then we will have to be content with other people’s version of our history and ultimately become even “other’s people.” In the wider perspective, the ultimate choice for any nations on earth is whether they want a history connected to a personal God or a history connected to evolution and monkey ancestors.

The NPF question the JD (U) as to why NPF should blindly accept the clarification given by Chief Minister of Nagaland on integration of Naga contiguous areas. If the JD (U) is satisfied with the clarification given by CM they should cleared their position without interfering in other political party’s stand.

The JD (U) cannot insist the NPF to be satisfied with CM’s clarification. As far as the NPF is concerned the aims and objectives of the NPF constitution, categorically emphasized on integration of contiguous Naga Areas and therefore, it will continue to pursue till it is achieved.

The contention of the NPF is that when the Naga National Workers and the Government of India are trying hard to work out the solution, it is too pre-mature to announce by CM of Nagaland that integration is not possible.

As for NPF, the clarification given by the NDPP blaming the media as misinterpretation of CM’s statement which later on followed by CM clarification saying that he was simply interpreting Union Home Minister, Rajnath Singh’s view are an attempt to mislead the Naga public and a hurdle on the ongoing peace process.

Therefore, the issue is not concluded here and NPF will never consider CM clarification as putting the said issue to rest.

However, if the JD (U)

Enable theological students get their rightful entitlement

I

on behalf of the aggrieved Theological Students hereby express our gratitude and thanks to the retired director of Higher Education Shri. A. M Toshi Jamir for disclosing some of the probable reasons as to why the post matric scholarship to the theological students in our state have been stalled since 2015 onward.

As per the disclosure, the following two main points have come to light to be the reasons for the discontinuation of scholarship to the theological students in our state. In other words, in order to get qualified for the theological collages to avail the scholarship for its students, some laid down rules are to be observed.

1. The theological col-

leges should be affiliated to the Senate of Serampore University or otherwise.

2. The complete official procedures are to be fulfilled in the manner of how secular colleges are enabled to get the same entitlement for their students viz:(i) To obtain the order of college registration from the directorate of higher education, Nagaland. (ii) The Non-Objection Certificate (NOC) from the state government. (iii) The permission list from the Nagaland University (NU).

Based on the above inputs and clues the colleges are hinted to pursue the facilities to enable their students get the benefit as such.

It is reported that there are about 29 theological

colleges in the state presently. And these theological colleges were getting the same facilities prior to the discontinuation of the same atleast for 30 years.

In the light of the above reasons it is pertinent to ask: (i) Whether all theological colleges would agree to affiliate their institute with Senate of Serampore University, if not why?. (ii) Are the students whose colleges affiliated to the Senate of Serampore University being provided with the same scholarship?.

If not why our Naga Theological Students are denied with the same facilities, whereas the theological students from our neighbouring states whose colleges affiliated to the

Senate of Serampore University are getting the facilities?.

Now, the ball is in the court of theological colleges to put heads together to work out and approach the concerned authorities and enlist the names of their students to enjoy the benefits at par with secular students at this juncture and to open up the same avenue for the generation to come on urgent basis.

May God bless all the concerned authorities and leaders of our state to extend help together and atleast work out a positive machenism to enable the theological students get their rightful entitlement without delay.

Nagaland is satisfied with the clarification given by the Chief Minister, they are welcome to explain their position, but should not expect the NPF to accept the clarification along with them.

The NPF seriously view that such a destructive statement coming out from the mouth of the Chief Minister of an important issue, will surely damage the ongoing Peace talks and the future of the Naga people as both the entities are working hard on this contentious issue.

Therefore, the NPF deeply concerned with the million-dollar questionable statement of the Chief Minister uttered on 12 June to the media.

The NPF also wonder as to why the PDA Government is still keeping silent over the controversial Citizenship Amendment Bill 2016 without clarifying to the people why its Government will not oppose the said Bill.

When the whole neighbouring Northeastern states particularly even the BJP rule state, Manipur and Assam is opposing the Bill, the PDA Government have not pointed out the benefit of enforcing the Bill into the Naga soil.

The NPF is not raising the two pertinent issues for the sake as an opposition party but the Government of the day should take any decision concerning the Naga society keeping in mind the welfare and the prosperity of its people.

Further, the NPF warned that the future of the Naga people should not be politicized just for the sake of the chair and funds.

Reader’s Post

Forgetting our religious belief

Sir,

Nagas are so interested to copy the present play.

Right after the Fifa ceremony I’ve seen only a few numbers in church as many church members were sleeping due to mid-night match, supporting favourite team, shouting and praying but didn’t remember to spent time in the church.

People use to organise many activities to develop young talented people but no organisers to organise religious faith especially for the youths. People dress up like superstar and model even in the church like a fashion show. We are a Christian state, we even believe that we are child of God but we never realize the importance of God in our daily life. We often forget and worship God only in times of helplessness, not in good times.

Let’s change this mindset.

Only God can protect you, give you a life, wisdom and wealth. You are wealthy, have good health and happiness not because of your own hard work but God has blessed you.

Supreme Court open to live streaming its proceedings

cided to go for live telecast of its proceedings.

Justice Chandrachud said that the live streaming would bring transparency and access to justice. He said the litigants would know what transpired during the hearing of their cases.

“I may not be present in the court, yet I will be able to know what is happening,” said Justice Chandrachud while pointing out that clients and litigants have the right to know if a matter was being adjourned and why.

“We are only enforcing the principle of opencourt hearing,” the court said.

In the course of his submissions, the Attorney General said that the live streaming of the top court’s proceedings would discourage some lawyers from

Six universities to be ‘institutions of eminence’

New Delhi, Jul 9 (AGENCIES): Three private universities - BITS (Pilani), Manipal Academy of Higher Education and Jio Institute - were awarded the status of ‘institutions of eminence’ by the Centre on Monday.

Government institutions such as the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, and the Indian Institutes of Technology in Mumbai and Delhi were also awarded the status.

While IISc was ranked first in the all-India NIRF (National Institutional Ranking Framework) rankings of the government in 2018, IIT Bombay and Delhi were ranked third and fourth in the rankings, respectively.

IIT Madras, ranked second, IIT Kharagpur, ranked fifth, JNU, ranked sixth and IIT Kanpur, ranked seven, are not on the list. Manipal was ranked 18th in India by the NIRF and BITS Pilani was ranked 26th. The sur-

prise entry was Jio Institute, which was not found on the NIRF 2018. PTI had reported on March 11, 2018, that Reliance Foundation was planning to establish a university for cutting-edge research and innovation.

Union Minister of Human Resource Development Prakash Javadekar tweeted about the decision to select these six institutions: “Yet another landmark initiative of @narendramodi government. The #instituteofeminence are selected by the experts panel and today we are releasing list of six universities -- three each in public and private sector.”

The University Grants Commission (UGC) - which is going to be replaced by Higher Education Commission of India (HECI) - and the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), will lose the power to regulate these institutions, which are expected to break into the top 500 in the world in a decade.

Conference alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has resorted to hypocrisy while Mehbooba Mufti kept herself engaged in double speak. “After three years of opportunistic bonhomie they were now indulging in publicly mud-slinging,” he alleged. He said Mehbooba Mufti was now seeking just one inch of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “56 inch chest” for Kashmir.

“What stopped her in seeking justice for Jammu and Kashmir during several visits of Narendra Modi to Jammu, Srinagar and Ladakh. Instead, the PDP chief went out of way in heaping praises on Modi,” he added.

Lamenting that there was no direct flight to New Delhi, he sought more flights connecting Dimapur with Guwahati, Kolkata and New Delhi.

The chief minister said in the absence of large-scale industries tourism played a major role in socio-economic development of the State and urged NEC to give more fund allocation for tourism sector. He also urged NEC and DoNER for setting up a

tourism & service industry university that would cover all aspects of tourism and service industry like hotel management, civil aviation, tourism management, etc.

Rio further requested NEC to establish Regional Institute of Architecture & Planning, Regional Institute of Music, Art & Culture and North East Institute of Skill Development in Nagaland.

He once again stressed for changing the current funding pattern of 90:10 for the Northeast to hundred percent financing by the Centre.

Rio proposed holding NEC plenary in all Northeastern States on a rotational basis.

Ko l k at a , J u l 9 (IANS): West Bengal Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi on Monday expressed concern over the health of the Jadavpur University students who are on a hunger strike in protest for the scrapping of admission test for six under-graduate courses.

Tripathi’s statement, issued by Raj Bhavan, echoed Vice Chancellor Suranjan Das who also appealed to the students to withdraw their strike and restore normalcy in the university.

The Gover nor, as Chancellor of Jadavpur University is “concerned

about the high reputation of the University as also the well-being and health of the students of the University, who are on hunger strike. He has already replied to the letter of the Vice Chancellor on the issues involved”, the statement read.

“Governor appeals to the students of Jadavpur University to uphold the prestige of the University and withdraw the strike so that the situation returns back to normalcy,” it added. Earlier in the day, Vice Chancellor Das insisted that as the VC he is obliged to go by the decisions taken by university’s Execu-

tive Council, the highest decision-making body of the institute, and also said he is awaiting a directive from the Governor - the ex-officio Chancellor - on the matter.

Das told the agitating students he is in favour of the university’s autonomy and willing to work to safeguard their interests.

Around 20 members of Arts Faculty Students’ Union (AFSU) started a hunger strike on July 6, two days after the university decided to do away with the system of holding entrance tests for admission to six under-graduate courses.

credentials. “It doesn’t have a campus, a website or any alumni and it has left behind prominent IITs as well as private players like Ashoka University and OP Jindal Global University. It is yet to be established but will already be marketed as a world class institution by the government. Can’t we see the conflict of interest,” JNU professor Ayesha Kidwai said.

“What is Jio Institute?

I thought only I didn’t know its eminence but looks like everyone knew of its existence only today,” a Twitter user said. A professor from IISc-Bangalore, which was also accorded the “Institute of Eminence” (IoE) tag, tweeted, “How did @ PrakashJavdekar evaluate this Jio Institute to decide it was better than IIT M or

IIT KGP or so many other Institutions? How can an Institution that is in the process of being set up be declared Institution of Eminence?

What are we missing here?”

The UGC defended Jio Institute’s inclusion on the grounds that it was selected under rules for greenfield institutions. According to officials, 11 such institutions had applied for the IoE tag and Jio was selected from among them.

The gover nment granted “Institutions of Eminence” (IoEs) status to IIT-Delhi, IIT-Bombay and the Bengaluru-based Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in the public sector, and Manipal Academy of Higher Education, BITS Pilani and Jio Institute by Reliance Foundation in the private sector.

Rahul targets Modi on farmers income New Delhi, Jul 9 (IANS): Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Monday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his government’s promise of doubling farmers’ incomes, citing a report where a Chhattisgarh sarpanch claims that officials from Delhi taught a woman farmer to tell Modi she now earns twice as much.

However, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman defended her government saying that the conversation was about sitaphal cultivation.

“Everyone knows PM tells his ‘Mann ki Baat’. Today it is coming out that he also wants to listen to his ‘Mann ki Baat’ (from others),” he said in a tweet, referring to Modi’s Rahul Gandhi (file) interaction with farmers through video bridge last month as also his monthly radio programme.

Attaching a video of a news report that quoted the sarpanch from the state’s Kanharpuri as saying that Chandramani, the woman farmer, had been tutored by team from Agriculture Department from New Delhi, Gandhi also said that Chandramani’s claim of “higher income from agriculture” during her interaction with Modi through video bridge did not seem true.

The university, rated one of the best in the countr y academically, plunged into turmoil after the authorities - apparently under pressure from the West Bengal government - decided to do away with the system of holding entrance tests for admission to six under-graduate courses - Bengali, English, History, comparative literature, political science and philosophy.

Delhi’s peak power demand touches new record at 6,998MW

New Delhi, Jul 9 (IANS): The peak power demand of Delhi broke previous records to hit an all-time high of 6,998 MW on Monday, the State Load Dispatch Centre (SLDC) reported. The peak power demand in Delhi reached a new record at 3.22 p.m. on Monday, which was “sudden and unexpected, though not entirely unpredicted or

unprepared for”, the SLDC said. Last time, the highest point of 6,934 MW was made on June 8. On June 1, the peak power demand of Delhi reached 6,651 MW. Delhi Power Minister Satyendar Jain had said in March that the national capital was expected to witness its highest ever peak power demand of 7,000 MW this year.

N EW D ELH I , J UL 9 (AGENCIES): The HRD Ministry’s selection of the yet-to-be-established Jio Institute by Reliance Foundation as one of the six “Institutions of Eminence” drew sharp criticism from various quarters today, with many questioning the process of selection and the motive behind it.

The University Grants Commission (UGC), a panel of which carried out the selections, however, defended the move saying the institution was accorded the coveted tag under greenfield category for new or proposed institutions that are yet to come into existence.

Jio Institute was trending on Twitter today with many users tagging the HRD Minister, asking him about the institute’s location and

New Delhi, Jul 9 (IANS): In a step aimed at bringing transparency and accountability, the Supreme Court on Monday said it was open to live streaming of its proceedings under “comprehensive and holistic guidelines”.

A bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justice A.M. Khanwilkar and Justice D.Y. Chandrachud said that if they go for live streaming, it would start off with one court as a pilot project and then it could be extended to the remaining courts.

The bench sought the assistance of Attorney General K.K. Venugopal and other senior lawyers.

Venugopal told the court that the government would set up a dedicated channel on the lines of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha TVs if the court de-

raising their voices.

“There won’t be raising of voices,” he said, in an apparent reference to a situation in the past when lawyers became too loud in making a point, a conduct not appreciated by the court.

The top court had on February 9 sought Venugopal’s assistance while dealing with three petitions, including those filed by senior counsel Indira Jaising and lawyer Mathews J. Nedumpara.

Jaising sought the live streaming and video recording of court proceedings of cases of national importance with a bearing on a large section of people.

Jaising had based her PIL on the right to receive information under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution and the principle of open courts and access to justice as protected under Article 21.

Pointing to the principle of law that justice should not only be done but also seen to be done, Jaising contended that the best possible way to achieve this was to live-stream the proceedings in important cases so that arguments of all counsel and interaction between judges and lawyers during hearings was “recorded accurately and without distortions”.

Kolkata, Jul 9 (PTI): Union Finance Minister Piyush Goyal Monday said that the proposal of some political parties for a single GST rate slab was a “ridiculous suggestion”.

Some political outfits had been clamouring for doing away with the four-slab Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate structure and the Congress had promised to reduce it to one slab if voted to power in 2019.

“One rate of tax is a ridiculous suggestion. It would be a burden on the poor and the middle class if items of daily use like salt, sugar and clothes were taxed at 18 per cent,” Goyal said at an Indian Chamber of Commerce event here.

It has sold stocks that have already generated significant returns and are falling due to market corrections, sources said.

ing need for China to pave the way for import of cheap Indian cancer drugs.

“There is a popular movie now in China called ‘Dying to Survive’. That movie is about zero tariffs imposition on anti-cancer medicines in China,” she said.

About the general reduction of tariffs, Hua said, “We have decided to expand our imports as well as opening up. This is what China needs in order to uphold the free trade and against protectionism. This is also in keeping up with our own pace of development and opening up.”

“On July 1, the outcome of the round of negotiations under the Asia Pacific Trade Agreement released a document and we have agreed to slash tariffs by 33 per cent. So according to my understanding the slashing of tariffs by the Indian side is also part of this negotiation...We will also impose a negotiated agreed tariff rate on relevant items in accordance with our regulations,” she said.

Mumbai, Jul 9 (PTI): Gold prices rose by Rs 120 to Rs 30,650 per 10 grams at the bullion market here Monday, taking positive lead from global market amid increased buying by local jewellers.

Silver too rallied by Rs 365 per kg following increased demand from industrial units.

Standard gold (99.5 purity) rose by Rs 120 to end at Rs 30,650 per 10 grams from last Friday’s level of Rs 30,530.

Pure gold (99.9 purity) also climbed by a similar margin to finish at Rs 30,800 per 10 grams against Rs 30,680 previously.

Silver (.999 fineness) surged by Rs 365 per kg to settle at Rs 39,660 from Rs 39,295 earlier. Globally, gold extended its recovery, touching the strongest in nearly two weeks as the dollar weakened, the Chinese yuan rebounded and some investors reversed their bearish gold bets.

Spot gold was up 0.7 per cent at USD 1,262.86 an ounce at early trade, its highest since June 26.

Among other precious metals, silver rose 1.2 per cent to USD 16.18 an ounce.

thorities,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying told a media briefing here today. “We believe expansion of imports and slashing of tariffs on anti-cancer medicines will also usher in great opportunities for India and other countries in the region,” she added without providing any further detail.

Earlier in May, China had lifted tariffs on the import of cancer drugs. It was not clear whether Hua was referring to that announcement. The May announcement had, however, failed to enthuse Indian companies as they cannot legally market their drugs in China as it requires license from the country’s food and drug administration.

India has been demanding opening of China’s IT and pharmaceutical sectors as part of measures to reduce over $51 billion trade deficit in over $84 billion bilateral trade.

While announcing the agreement, Hua referred to a new Chinese film on the plight of a leukaemia patient, highlighting the press-

strong gains even as hedgers rushed to short. The rupee had recovered by 8 paise on Friday from alltime closing low of 68.95 on July 5.

Maintaining its recovery trend, the domestic unit resumed sharply higher at 68.57 against previous close of 68.87 at the Interbank Foreign Exchange (forex) market.

However, the domestic currency was unable to capitalise on strong early gains and gradually gave up towards the fag-end trade to hit a session low of 68.80 before ending at 68.72, showing a gain of 15 paise, or 0.22 per cent.

Traders were cautious ahead of release of consumer price inflation (CPI) and Index of Industrial production data this week, a dealer said.

The RBI, meanwhile, fixed the reference rate for the dollar at 68.7545 and for the euro at 80.4771.

Beijing, Jul 9 (PTI): India and China have reached an agreement on reduction of tariffs on the import of Indian medicines, particularly cancer drugs, to China, the Foreign Ministry said here on Monday, days after a Chinese movie on a leukaemia patient highlighted the need for paving the way for import of cheap Indian medicines.

However, it is not yet clear whether China has agreed to grant licences to Indian companies to sell cancer drug in the huge market here, which could be a major step.

About 4.3 million people are diagnosed with cancer annually in China, according to a report of the state-run China Central Television. Indian drugs, specially cancer curing medicines, are in big demand in China as they are far cheaper than their western counterparts.

“We have seen China and India have reached agreement on the reduction of tariffs on medicines. For specifics, I will refer you to relevant competent au-

4 more boys rescued from flooded cave

Mae Sai (Thailand), Jul 9 (Agencies): An aide to the Thai Navy SEAL commander says four boys were brought out of the flooded cave in northern Thailand Monday and the ongoing rescue operation is over for the day.

The aide, Sitthichai Klangpattana, didn’t comment on the boys’ health or say how well the operation has gone.

A total of eight of the 12 boys have now been brought out of the treacherous cave system by divers, including four who were brought out on Sunday, when the rescue operation began.

The boys and their 25year-old coach have been trapped for more than two weeks after heavy rains flooded the kilometers- long cave network made up of caverns connected by tight passages.

A total of four ambulances have left the area around the flooded cave in northern Thailand where members of a youth soccer team have been trapped for more than two weeks, suggesting eight of the 13 trapped people have now been extracted.

Thai officials have been

tight-lipped about the rescue operation, and would not comment on how many people were removed Monday.

On Sunday, teams of divers brought out four of the trapped boys but waited several hours before confirming their safe rescue.

Two more ambulances have been seen leaving the site of a flooded cave in northern Thailand where young members of a soccer team and their 25-year-old coach have been trapped for

more than two weeks.

That brings to three the number of ambulances that have left the site Monday during the second day of a high-risk operation to bring the boys out of a labyrinth cave system made up of tight passageways and flooded chambers.

On Sunday, teams of divers brought out four of the trapped boys but waited several hours before confirming their safe rescue.

Authorities have been tightlipped about the prog-

ress of Monday’s operation.

Thai authorities are being tight-lipped about who was inside an ambulance seen leaving the site of a flooded cave Monday, as they were the night before when four of the 13 people trapped inside the underground complex were rescued.

Multiple calls to senior government officials and military personnel leading the operation to rescue the members of the youth soccer team rang unanswered Monday evening.

Japan flood toll increase to 109

On Sunday, officials waited until several hours after the rescued boys had been transported to hospitals to announce their rescue.

As of Monday morning, eight boys and their coach remained in the cave where they have been trapped by floods since June 23.

Thai public television has aired live video of a medivac helicopter landing close to a hospital in the city of Chiang Rai, near the site of the cave where a youth soccer team has been trapped for more than two weeks. Medics appeared to remove one person on a stretcher but hid the person’s identity behind multiple white umbrellas. An ambulance was seen leaving the scene immediately afterward early Monday evening.

Less than an hour earlier, an ambulance with flashing lights had left the cave complex, hours after the start of the second phase of an operation to rescue the soccer team.

As of Monday morning, nine people remained trapped in the cave, including the 12-member team’s coach, after four boys were rescued on Sunday, the first day of the rescue operation.

Tokyo, Jul 9 (Agencies): The number of people who have died in floods and landslides triggered by “historic” levels of torrential rain in Japan has climbed to 109, with dozens of others still missing, reports The Guardian.

Almost 2 million people were still subject to evacuation orders on Monday, while tens of thousands of rescue workers battled mud, water and rubble to search for survivors stranded in their homes. At one point about 5 million people were told or advised to evacuate.

Some of those who decided to stay home found themselves trapped by rapidly rising water or landslides.

The heaviest rainfall seen in Japan for decades has caused destruction over large parts of the country, particularly in Hiroshima and other parts of the south-west, making it difficult for authorities to assess the damage and the number of casualties.

Some media reports said 60 people were still unaccounted for, while Japan’s public broadcaster NHK put the number of missing at 79. The prime minister, Shinzo Abe, cancelled a trip to Europe and the Middle East that was due to start on Wednesday and expanded the search and rescue effort,

which involves 73,000 members of the self-defence force, police officers, firefighters and coastguard personnel.

Aided by hundreds of helicopters and paddle boats, rescue workers continued to rescue people from buildings, some of them stranded on rooftops only metres above the waterline.

On Sunday, Abe said efforts to locate those still stranded had turned into a “race against time”.

In one of the most dramatic rescues, patients and staff – some still in their pyjamas – were helped from the balcony of a hospital in the city of Kurashiki on Sunday and rowed to safety on military paddle boats.

Officials said 170 patients and staff had been evacuated from the hospital, while

NHK later said about 80 people were still stranded.

“I’m really grateful to the rescuers,” said Shigeyuki Asano, a 79-year-old patient who spent a night without electricity or water. “I feel so relieved that I’ve been freed from such a bad-smelling, dark place.”

TV footage from across the affected region showed rivers that had burst their banks, submerged vehicles and houses destroyed by landslides. The rains are the worst weather-related disaster in Japan since two typhoons struck in quick succession in August and September 2011, killing nearly 100 people. The death toll is higher than that seen in 2014, when more than 70 people died in landslides caused by torrential rain in Hiroshima.

Kuala Lumpur, Jul 9 (IANS): Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad on Monday said the government will draw up a political funding law to reduce corruption.

At a press conference after chairing a Special Cabinet Meeting on Anti-Corruption in Kuala Lumpur, Mahathir said the government would look into international models to prevent personal gain for donors, Efe news reported.

He cited Germany as a model to examine, and the US as one to avoid.

“In some countries the government provides the funds to all the political parties. That is done, I think, in Germany. We have to study whether that is something that we can do,” he said.

“But, on the other hand, we see the US where they have a system of lobbyists... the lobbyists are paid money to lobby and to influence the government to do certain things for certain people who have paid the money.

“That, to us, is corruption. We will not allow that in Malaysia. So we are going to formulate a law for the financing of political parties which will not involve giving favours to the donor.”

Mahathir won the polls on May 9, defeating former leader Najib Razak, accused of diverting money from the 1MDB state fund, which he denies.

Boris Johnson

Mr. Johnson had appeared to undermine Mrs. May’s strategy, and in comments that were recently leaked, he described her government as lacking “guts,” unfavorably comparing the prime minister’s negotiating style to that of President Trump.

After the surprise resignation of David Davis, Britain’s chief negotiator in withdrawal talks with the European Union, there was an ominous silence Monday morning from Mr. Johnson, who was scheduled to host a diplomatic meeting in London to discuss the western Balkans.

The two reporters were working on an investigative article on the killing of 10 Rohingya Muslim men and boys in a village in Rakhine.

The killings were part of a military operation Myanmar launched last year against the Rohingya, a persecuted Muslim minority in Myanmar, following a series of attacks by Rohingya rebels on government posts in the region.

The offensive has led to the exodus of 700,000 Rohingya to neighbouring Bangladesh, where they have been living in overcrowded camps.

According to Doctors Without Borders, at least 6,700 Rohingyas were killed during the offensive.

a chaotic Brexit deal would threaten to derail more than $100 billion worth of investment plans in Britain and force the closure of some factories. Airbus and BMW also questioned whether they could continue to keep manufacturing facilities in the country under those conditions.

able in local languages in different markets, tells the tale of Sartaj Singh, a seasoned and cynical Mumbai police officer who is summoned one morning by an anonymous tip which promises him an opportunity to capture the powerful Ganesh Gaitonde, criminal overlord of the G-Company.

The cast of the show, which shows the intricate web of organised crime, corruption, politics and espionage in post-liberalisation India, leaves a mark.

With Saif Ali Khan playing the Sikh Sartaj Singh, Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Ganesh Gaitonde, Radhika Apte as a RAW officer, and a slew of talented artistes like Neeraj Kabi, Aamir Bashir, Luke Kenny, Rajshri Deshpande, Kubbra Sait and Jatin Sarna in the supporting cast, the eight-episode show is compelling viewing.

ave G r o h l h a s opened up on his time in Nirvana, admitting that his confidence at the time prevented him from taking an integral role as a songwriter.

Despite anchoring the band with his powerhouse drumming, Grohl only truly ventured into songwriting after the band ended – with the first Foo Fighters album being recorded as a solo effort.

“When I recorded what became the first Foo Fighters record [in 1995], I didn’t think it was a record.

I just wanted to get up and go out and play something, even if nobody ever heard it”, he told CBS in a new interview.

“Long before then, I had been recording songs on my own, and never letting anybody hear them, because I didn’t really think they were that good.

“I didn’t like my voice, I didn’t think I was a songwriter, and I was in a band with one of the greatest songwriters of our generation. I didn’t really want to rock the boat.

“That’s the famous joke: What’s the last thing the drummer said before he got kicked out of the band?

“But there was someone who we knew from Seattle. After Kurt died he wrote me this card: ‘I know you don’t feel it now, but someday the music is going to come back, and it’s going to heal you.’”

Grohl also spoke of his continued success with Foo Fighters, and how he heeded some pretty good advice from his dad.

“Ages ago, when I was a kid, my dad said, ‘You know, this isn’t going to last, right? Savor every check like it’s the last one you’re ever gonna make,’” Grohl told Mason.

“And every time we make a Foo Fighters record, I think, ‘Well, if this were the last one…’”

ccording to Billboard, Guns N’ Roses’ classic 1987 debut album, “Appetite For Destruction”, has returned to the top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart after more than 29 years. The LP re-entered the chart at No. 10, following its “Locked N’ Loaded” box reissue on June 29. For tracking and charting purposes, all versions of “Appetite For Destruction” are combined, and in the week ending July 5, the album sold 33,000 equivalent units.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units.

Units are comprised of traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). As of this week, each unit equals one traditional album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from one album (a TEA unit), or 1,250 paid subscription ondemand audio song streams from an album, or 3,750 adsupported on-demand audio song streams from an album (an SEA unit).

The “Appetite For Destruction: Locked N’ Loaded” box is the one

true GN’R Holy Grail.

The box includes the Super Deluxe Edition with four CDs featuring the album newly remastered for the first time ever; “B-sides N’ EPs” newly remastered; the previously unreleased 1986 Sound City Session N’ More recordings; a Blu-ray Audio disc with the album, bonus tracks and music videos in brand new 5.1 surround sound along with the unearthed music video for “It’s So Easy” originally shot in 1989 but never finished; and a 96-page hardcover book showcasing unseen photos from Axl Rose’s personal archive and a wealth of memorabilia.

Among the rare and previously unreleased material are two songs Guns N’ Roses recorded with producer Mike Clink, “Shadow

Of Your Love” — laid down during a trial session that resulted in Clink getting the production job — and an acoustic version of “Move To The City”, which was recorded during the “GN’R Lies” sessions. Additional highlights of the unreleased audio include the first two work-in-progress recording attempts of the 1991 epic masterpiece “November Rain” which was originally penned as the ballad for “Appetite”, covers of songs like Elvis Presley’s “Heartbreak Hotel”, Aerosmith’s “Mama Kin”, two distinctly different recordings of The Rolling Stones’ “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” (one electric, one acoustic) and two neverfinished tracks/jams, “The Plague” and “New Work Tune”.

Cibulkova was furious when Hsieh successfully persuaded the umpire to replay a point that was initially called in the Slovakian’s favour and would have given her three set points in the opening set. But the 29-year-old challenged her anger to crush Hsieh.

Cibulkova is ranked 33rd in the world and controversially missed out on being seeded at Wimbledon when tournament officially moved up seven-time champion Serena Williams into the seedings despite the American being ranked outside the top 150 following her maternity leave.

Jelena Ostapenko

Although Cibulkova complained about the decision, the former Australian Open finalist has refocused well enough to make her third Wimbledon quarterfinal.

Cibulkova will now face Latvian 12th seed Jelena Ostapenko, a former French Open champion, for a place in the semi-finals.

Earlier, Ostapenko dismissed Aliaksandra Sasnovich, 7-6(4), 6-0.

Ostapenko tur ned around a near-disastrous opening set to advance into quarterfinal in one hour and 18 minutes.

Sasnovich arguably caused the biggest upset of the tournament when she stunned two-time champion Petra Kvitova in the first round. Finalist at the Brisbane International back in January, the Belarusian enjoyed a thunderous start on No.3 Court, twice lead-

ing by a double break at 3-0 and 5-2. Ostapenko caught fire from there, winning eight points in a row and edging through the inevitable tie-break.

The second set was more of the same from Ostapenko, who rarely dropped her level as winners freely flowed from her racquet to race ahead a triple break advantage of her own, serving out her spot in the last eight.

Meanwhile, Karolina Pliskova was dumped out to complete a clean sweep of early exits for the top 10 seeds. The seventh seed from the Czech Republic was the only player from the top 10 in the women’s draw to make it into the second week.

However, she only lasted until Monday lunchtime, going down 6-3 7-6 (7/1) to Dutch 20th seed Kiki Bertens.

Arsenal close in on Torreira, Guendouzi

Lo n d o n, J u l 9 (Agencies): Arsenal are closing in on two new central midfielders, with Lucas Torreira and Matteo Guendouzi set for medicals with the Gunners this week.

Deals in the region of £26m for Torreira and £8m for Guendouzi are understood to have been agreed with Sampdoria and FC Lorient respectively, and personal terms are not expected to be a problem.

Torreira had postponed a decision on his future until after the World Cup but, following Uruguay’s exit from the competition, the deal has progressed swiftly.

Arsenal have also swooped for highly-rated France youngster Guendouzi, who was being monitored by both Tottenham and Manchester City last season.

Earlier, it was reported that Arsenal were in talks with the 19-year-old, who featured 20 times for Lorient last term as they missed out on promotion from the French second division.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are also understood to have held talks with Sevilla over the signing of former Stoke and Blackburn midfielder Steven N’Zonzi.

Gunners boss Unai Emery worked with the player, currently in Russia with the France squad, during his time at Spanish club Sevilla.

sports Brazil condemn Fernandinho racist abuse

Rio de Janeiro, Jul 9 (Agencies): The Brazil Football Federation (CBF) has condemned the racist abuse aimed at Fernandinho and his family after the country’s exit from the World Cup. Five-time winners Brazil lost 2-1 to Belgium in Kazan after Fernandinho scored an own goal in the first half.

Threats against his life and racist remarks have caused outrage among many Brazilian fans on social media and the CBF added its support to the Manchester City midfielder by releasing a statement on Instagram.

“The CBF repudiates the racist attacks suffered by the player @fernandinho and their relatives,” Brazil’s governing body said.

“Football represents the union of colors, genres, cultures and peoples. We are with you. Racists will not pass! #AllIguals #Brazilian Selection #SayNoToRacism #GigantesPorNatureza”.

Fernandinho and his wife Glaucia Rosa have been subjected to abuse and threats and the 33-year-old’s mother has been forced to close down her Instagram account due to offensive comments, it has been reported.

Mundo Negro, a website and magazine which specialises in black culture, also offered its support to Fernandinho and his family.

Belgium, France face off in 1st semi-final today St Petersburg, Jul 9 (Agencies): Roberto Martinez’s swashbuckling Belgium side head into Tuesday’s semi-final with familiar foes France as the World Cup’s leading scorers, but their old rivals have evolved as the tournament has progressed and will also be full of confidence.

Belgium has scored 14 goals in five matches and was hugely impressive in their 2-1 quarter-final victory over Brazil, with Romelu Lukaku, Eden Hazard and Kevin de Bruyne combining to devastating effect to oust the five-times world champions.

In contrast, France sleep-walked through the group stages, eking out wins over Australia and Peru before a stultifying 0-0 draw with Denmark.

Their early struggles had ‘Les Bleus’ being written off in some quarters, but all that changed when they faced Argentina in the last 16 in what must be a leading contender for the most exciting match of the tournament.

Didier Deschamps tweaked his formation, effectively freeing up Kylian Mbappe on the right to run at the Argentine defense, and what followed was a wonderful display of attacking football that France won 4-3. The victory boosted France’s morale, and they followed it up with a workman-like 2-0 win over Uruguay that was impressive because of

previous World Cup winners and, while that squad continued to be feted, the current manager thinks winning the tournament might get even more of a reaction.

“We’ve talked, touched briefly, certainly, on the team which won,” said Southgate.

“How they’re still held and revered. (It was) at the beginning of working together with the lads and trying to sell them the vision of what’s possible, what we’re looking to achieve in the

long-term.”

“We have had events on in camp when some of those guys have been in, when the road was named at St George’s (Park) after Sir Alf.” “I’ve met quite a few of those players and we know exactly how they’re held and perhaps, in the modern era, that would be even crazier.

Sterling is dangerous: Dalic

Luis Enrique appointed Spain head coach

Moscow, Jul 9 (Agencies): Gareth Southgate thinks England could get an even bigger reception than the heroes of 1966 if they manage to win the World Cup. England have enjoyed a fantastic campaign and, following Saturday’s 2-0 defeat of Sweden, only Croatia stand between Southgate’s men and Sunday’s final in Moscow.

Raheem Sterling

Moscow, Jul 9 (Agencies): Croatia Coach Zlatko Dalic has identified Raheem Sterling as England’s danger man in the World Cup semi-final on Wednesday.

Sterling was a key part of the Manchester City side that won the Premier League last season, but he has been less effective in England’s charge to the last four for the first time since 1990.

Despite some disappointing early performances, England coach Gareth Southgate has kept faith with the 23-year-old and his

speed was a constant threat to Sweden’s defence in England’s 2-0 quarter-final win on Saturday.

“I think Raheem Sterling is an important player, because he is fast and dangerous alongside Harry Kane,” Dalic said in a press conference Sunday.

“I wouldn’t say there are any glaring weaknesses (in England’s team) since they are in the semi-finals, that says it all. They play very direct football, dangerous, fast, and they are really good at set pieces, and dangerous at corner kicks.”

Madrid, Jul 9 (Agencies): Former Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has been appointed Spain’s new head coach on a two-year deal, following their World Cup last-16 exit.

The president of Spain’s football federation Luis Rubiales revealed in a press conference on Monday that the decision to hire Enrique was unanimous, saying the 48-year-old met all of the criteria.

Julen Lopetegui was sacked on the eve of the World Cup after agreeing a deal to become Real Madrid’s next boss, leaving former sporting director Fernando Hierro to take interim charge of the side.

Hierro stepped down from his post as caretaker boss on Sunday after Spain’s early elimination from the World Cup - losing to hosts Russia on penalties in the last-16.

Enrique, who previously managed Roma and Celta Vigo, won two La Liga titles, three Copa del Rey trophies and one Champions League during his three-year spell in charge of Barcelona.

squad ahead of Wednesday as the games start to mount up.

“Of course you get an accumulation of fatigue through a tournament,” said the manager.

“That’s why we took the decision we did against Belgium (to rest players) more than anything.”

“So we’ll just have to assess people as we go. Hendo (Jordan Henderson) was another one who was feeling tightness in his hamstring, which was why we made the change (taking him off in the closing stages). We’ll just have to assess the bodies,” he added.

The Football Association confirmed on Sunday evening that England would be wearing an all-white kit in Wednesday’s match.

Croatia are technically the ‘home’ team but their red and white checked home strip clashes with both of the England kits.

They will wear the dark blue and black shirts which they have sported for four of their five World Cup matches so far.
