LS passes bill to give NIA more teeth Goal is to root out terror; won’t look at religion of accused: Shah NEW DELHI, JUL 15 (AGENCIES): After a heated debate between Union Home Minister Amit Shah and several Opposition MPs, the Lok Sabha on Monday passed a Bill to strengthen the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in probing cyber crimes and human trafficking cases.

The Opposition accused the government of using central investigating agencies to target political opponents and minorities.

Shah, on his part, said the government’s only objective is to combat terrorism ‘regardless of religion’. He targeted the Congress for repealing the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) for ‘vote-bank purposes’.

During the debate, Congress’ Manish Tiwari and Asaduddin Owaisi of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) questioned the Constitutional

validity of the amendments with the latter accusing the Government of using the law selectively. “I would like to ask the government about the professionalism in the investigations carried out by the NIA. In the Samjhauta blast investigation, they could not even produce the CCTV footage of the railway station in the court.

And why is the government not appealing in Malegaon blasts, Samjhauta blasts and Mecca Masjid blast cases?” asked Owaisi.

Defending the bill, the government refuted the opposition’s claim that the NIA law was being “misused” to target members of a community and asserted that its only goal is to combat terrorism.

Amit Shah said the Parliament should speak in one voice in giving powers to the NIA; to send out a message to terrorists and the world. To the accusations of using tough laws and central investigating agencies to target a particular community, Shah said, “Let me make it clear that the Modi government has no such intention.

Its only goal is to eradicate terrorism but we will also not look at the religion of the accused while taking an action.”

Replying to the discussion, Minister of State for Home Affairs G Kishan Reddy said “This is a government run by chowkidar and will be at the forefront for the security of the country,” he said adding that

terrorism has no religion or caste or region.

He said there are no issues of federal system with the NIA and it works in close coordination with States and their agencies. He added that NIA often writes to chief secretary and DGP of the State before initiating an investigation.

He said that surgical and air strikes have shown that there are other means available with the government to deal with terrorism cases when it comes to Pakistan. “Things were not properly worked out during your (Congress) government. We are the ones fixing it.”

He said NIA is investigating as many as 272 cases and has filed chargesheet in 199. The minister said that out of 272, the courts have already delivered their judgements in 51 cases, with convictions in 46 cases.

“There is a 90 per cent conviction rate”.

During the debate, Manish Tewari (Cong) accused the government of trying to turn India into a “police state”. However, Minister Reddy told the House, “We want to fight terrorism with zero tolerance and have brought this

bill in national interest. I pray to all of you for its passage.”

Several opposition members, including N K Premachandran and Saugata Roy, even questioned the government’s decision to push for a discussion amid the ongoing budget-related debates, but Speaker Om Birla ruled that a debate can start. Danish Ali (BSP) too alleged that through this bill the Government is in a hurry to convert this state into “police state”.

“The fundamental right of common man should not be violated,” Ali said.

Supriya Sule (NCP) said the government should not make the issue of dealing with terrorist into a political one and sought to know what concrete plan it has to bring wanted terrorists back to India.

L a t e r, A s a d u d d i n Owaisi sought a division when the bill came up for passage. Home Minister Amit Shah said the division should be taken up to show “who all are for or against terrorism”. While 278 members supported its consideration, only six opposed it. The bill was later passed by a voice vote.

KOHIMA, JUL 15 (NPN): Annoyed by the silence of the State government to address its issue, Nagaland State Planning Machinery Service Association (NSPMSA) announced its first phase of agitation in the form of “pen down strike” from July 16 to 18, after which the association will decide the next phase.

Addressing a press conference here on Monday, NSPMSA president Imlikokba Longkumer said the association had submitted representation to the State government demanding removal/expunging the post of OSD (skill development) from the cadre post appearing in schedules I and II of the Nagaland Planning Machinery Service Rule, 2019.

However, he said the government till date had not responded to its representation, adding the association wants a written assurance.

Longkumer said the association members were aggrieved by the decision of the State cabinet as it did not maintain the Gauhati High Court orders of

2013, 2016 and 2017 that mentioned that OSD (SD) and additional development commissioner (ADC) were two separate cadres with different duties and functions and that this was not transferable.

He said the court had ruled that I Sino Phom’s appointment did not affect promotional avenues of the petitioners and that the members did not suffer as the duties and responsibilities was different.

The NSPMSA president alleged that despite the court order, the cabinet during its meeting on September 12, 2017 decided that the post of OSD (SD) would be treated as a regular post in the rank and pay of ADC and included it in the proposed draft service rules of the State planning machinery in planning and coordination department.

The cabinet also decided that Sino would be eligible for promotion to the next level of deputy development commissioner (DDC) and the draft service rules of the State planning machinery would be submitted for consideration of the cabinet at the earliest after incor-

Officials of Nagaland State Transport (NST), Dimapur station, informed Nagaland Post that 12 buses were plying between the two towns - seven from Dimapur and five from Kohima. The price of a ticket was Rs 100.

The high volume of passengers far outstripped the availability of buses that were plying along the route.

An official of the NST said the only solution was to deploy additional buses.

NST buses have different seating capacities - from maximum 40 to minimum 27 seats.

There are about 11 to 15 40-seat buses that not only provide services on Dimapur-Kohima route, but also to other district sub-stations.

NPMSA launches pen down strike, demands review of cabinet decision

of customary practice: LH

DIMAPUR, JUL 15 (NPN): Viewing the formation of Lotha Public Organisation (LPO) headed by former MLA Sulanthung Humtsoe as a violation of Naga customary practice, Lotha Hoho (LH) has asserted that Lotha community represented by it did not recognise the organisation.

LH also cautioned all authorities concerned against recognising the new organisation. According to a statement issued by its general secretary S Aben Ngullie, LH held an executive council meeting at Wokha on Sunday in this regard. LPO was formed at Bhandari the previous day by the former legislator.

The meeting viewed the formation of the new organisation as violation of the Naga customary practice, adding that the Lotha Naga customary practice of deciding on civil and criminal justice was an age-old custom as also enshrined in Article 371(A) of the Indian constitution.

Mentioning that Humtsoe had been disassociated from LH for 10 years (vide notice no.LH/WKA/ PR/2019, dated Wokha 10th July 2019), the statement emphasised that formation of any organisation within Lotha jurisdiction required the approval of the apex Lotha tribal organisation.

Adding that the same terms and conditions would apply in all such cases in future, LH warned that anyone defying its diktat would be solely responsible for any consequence that might arise thereof, and for which the Lotha community would not be responsible.

porating the above by the planning and coordination department, he added.

NSPMSA action committee convener Augustine M Yanthan, who was president, said planning and coordination department had four cells – monitoring cell, GIS cell, planning machinery and skill development cell. He demanded to know why the skill development cell had to manage with the same cadre of planning machinery when other cells were functioning independently. He explained that others on deputation, as alleged by Eastern Naga Students’ Federation (ENSF), came directly to the department against sanctioned posts in lower ranks as assistant planning officers and planning assistants, adding that OSD (SD) was totally a different cadre.

Moreover, Yanthan commented that it took 32 years for someone to reach the post of DDC whereas, as per the cabinet decision, Sino was made eligible to be promoted as DDC within a span of nine years, which was not at all justified as it deprived others.

LPO formed DIMAPUR, JUL 15 (NPN): Lotha Middle and Lower Range People Coordination Committee (LMLRPCC) during its meeting held on July 13 at Bhandari Town Hall, unanimously approved to form an interim body known as Lotha Public Organisation (LPO) headed by former MLA, Sulanthung Humtsoe as chairman and Zaremo Kikon as general secretary.

In a press note, LPO chairman Sulanthung Humtsoe stated that the meeting was called to “review the lackadaisical attitude” shown by Lotha Hoho (LH) on the written letter given by LMLRPCC on December 15, 2018 to reconsider and rectify their new team to follow the guidelines of the Lotha Hoho within a specific time of one month period.

However, LPO said there was no response from LH till date.

Attended by 94 villages, LPO said the meeting was to “hammer out the unprecedented issued to bring unity and progress among the Lothas. After threadbare discussion, the house approved to form the interim body-- Lotha Public Organisation.

sultative meeting of all tribal hohos on July 17 where some tribal hohos like Zeliangrong Baudi was not invited for reasons best known to the government.

ZB(N) accused the government of trying to divide Nagas particularly the Zeliangrongs as a people by diverting from the main issue of implementation of ILP in Dimapur to RIIN. In such a situation, ZB(N) felt that RIIN be kept in abeyance till proper modalities or guidelines were worked out for implementation and instead focus on strict implementation of ILP in Dimapur. ZB (N) also suggested that while working on modalities for RIIN, there should be partial consideration on the government notification of 1977 which made 1963 as the cut-off date to either 1971 or 1981 because till 1964 there was underground movement under NNC which totally opposed Indian census and electoral roll enumeration in Nagaland which led to many genuine names being excluded in the 1961 census and 1963 electoral roll.

DIMAPUR, JUL 15 (NPN): Several more organizations have expressed resentment against being excluded and uninvited to the July 17 consultative meeting on Register of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland(RIIN) by the state government.

KIN: Kuki Inpi Nagaland (KIN), in a statement issued by its president L.L.Kuki has expressed anguish at the “deliberate omission” of KIN by the state home commissioner at such an important public consultation.

Stressing on the role of the community in Naga politics, he recalled that late Pu Lenjang Kuki was one of the founder members of the Naga Club-the first Naga political platform.

He said late Lenjang was one of the Naga representatives who was a signatory to the first Memorandum on Naga self determination submitted to the Indian Statutory Commission under the chairmanship of Sir John Simon on January 10,1926.

To substantiate further, L.L.Kuki cited the accounts of the then Naga Hills by British scholar B.C.Allen in his book ‘Naga Hills and Manipur

in 1874-75 (vide page 33) in which the number of Kuki villages was recorded as 26 with a census of 123 people.

He said in the current proposal for RIIN was for wide coverage, there was no justification to keep the Kuki inhabitants “out in the dark” adding the KIN is also a constituent member of the Joint Committee on Prevention of Immigrants(JCPI).

MKPON: Mech Kachari Public Organisation of Nagaland(MKPON) has also expressed anguish Kachari Tribal Council(KTC) the apex body of Kacharis from being left out of the July 17 meeting on RIIN exercise.

MKPON general secretary Dharma Dhaj Sonowal said MPON requests the state government not to sideline the Kachari tribe to such meetings as consultations were related to the existence of the Kacharis in Nagaland.

MKPON said the state government was well aware that the Kacharis (Mech Kachari & Dimasa Kachari) have been living in the different parts of Dimapur district since time immemorial and are also Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland.

Rs. 1 crore and National Commission - if the goods or services and compensation asked for is more than Rs 1 crore. Ezung further added that the complaint must be filed within two years from the date on which cause of action has risen where the consumer can represent himself before the forum without engaging a lawyer while filling a complaint KCCI president, Medozhatuo Rutsa, who also spoke, shared on the various issues in regard to consumer protection which has been directly or indirectly affecting the general public.

IMPHAL, Jul 15: Manipur government is working to implement National Register of Citizens (NRC) in the state, said Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh on Monday.

Singh informed that Centre has already given green signal to the state government to implement NRC in the state after it was implemented in the neighbouring state of Assam.

Nagaland state has also taken up a similar step to start a variant of the National Register of Citizens - Register of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland (RIIN).

Likewise, in Manipur too, the state government was considering setting up of Manipur Population Commission, the chief minister said.

The chief minister was talking to media on the sideline of joint Meeyamgi Numit and Hill Leaders’ Day held at Chief Minister’s Secretariat.

(NPN): In a combined operation Sunday wee hours, a joint team of Assam police and Assam Rifles apprehended an NSCN (I-M) area commander of Longding-Charaideo-Mon region along with huge cache of arms and ammunition including cash, PRO IGAR (N) stated in a communiqué.

According to PRO, based on specific inputs, ‘maj.’ Anok Wangsa was intercepted at NamtolaYampan Axis. The operation involved search of a designated area and laying of ambushes on suspected routes to intercept movement of the cadre, PRO added.

Upon interrogation, PRO said Wangsa disclosed that he had hidden more weapons, ammunition and war like stores in his house located on Assam-Nagaland border.

The teams then carried out a detailed search of his house and recovered large cache of arms, ammunition and war-like stores including one AK-56 Rifle, pistols, two HE36 hand

and rounds, 11 electronic detonators, one Improvised Explosive Device and over Rs. 5 lakh in cash.

Fur ther, PRO said Wangsa is the deputy of one ‘maj. gen.’ Absolom Tangkhul of NSCN (I-M) who was allegedly involved in the killing of Arunachal MLA, Tirong Aboh.

According to NEWS 18 report, Brig. SK Sheoran of Assam Rifle (Sector 7) said: “Wangsa is an aide of self-styled major general Absolom Tangkhul of the NSCN (IM), believed to be behind the killing of Aboh.”

Anok has been constantly threatening the local population and demanding money from them, exposing the total contempt of Ceasefire Ground Rules by NSCN (IM). Irony could not have been more stark that only yesterday, NSCN (IM) while conveniently disowning its own cadre who was apprehended recently in Manipur, denied any wrong doings and had taken a moral high ground. But today we have another glaring example of its duplicity.

Aizawl, Jul 15 (PTI): The Fall Army Worm (FAW) infestation in Mizoram has been contained, a senior Agriculture department official said on Monday.

The FAW insects attacked the maize crops in the state but it had been contained due to the coordinated efforts of the Agriculture department and the farmers in using pesticides, joint director in the Agriculture department James Lalsiamliana said.

The FAW infestation has come down as compared to the peak outbreak in mid May, Lalsiamliana told PTI. “The onset of monsoon also helped a lot in containing the outbreak,” he said.

tion. Regional Metrological Department Director Dilip Saha said Agartala had received 52.8 mm rainfall since Sunday but rainfall stopped Monday morning.

Food and relief materials have been provided to the flood-affected people lodged in relief camps in both districts, Das said.

Sub-divisional Magistrate of Sadar in West Tripura district said 45 relief camps have been set up in Agartala city where about 13,000 people from 3,129 families have taken shelter. The worst affected areas in Agartala city are Srilanka Basti, Baldakhal, Ambedkar Colony and Pratapgarh.

“We are providing food to the people lodged in relief camps. The water level of river Haora is now flowing below danger level,” the sub-divisional magistrate said.

NOTE

Ita nag a r , J u l 1 5 (PTI): Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Monday requested the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) for speedy completion of various road projects in the state.

The Centre had announced that the BRO will construct a tunnel through the 13,700 feet-high Sela Pass to enable faster movement of troops to and from the Sino-Indo border.

The proposal to build the tunnel in February 2018 came amidst concerns in the defence establishment over China’s growing assertiveness along the 4000-km long border with India.

Khandu, at a meeting with BRO Director General Lt Gen Harpal Singh at the organisation’s headquarters in New Delhi on Monday, discussed the road projects and the construction of Sela tunnel, an official communiqu reaching here said.

When constructed, the 10 km-long tunnel will cut down travel time by at least an hour between Army’s IV Corps headquarters at Tezpur in Assam to Tawang, a strategically-located town near the border with China and known for housing the second most important Buddhist monastery.

SC rejects Asaram Bapu’s bail plea in rape case lodged in Gujarat guilty of raping a teenager in his ashram five years ago in a separate case lodged against him in Rajasthan.

He has filed an appeal in the Rajasthan High Court against his conviction by the trial court in Jodhpur.

In April this year, Narayan Sai, the son of Asaram, was also sentenced to life imprisonment in a separate rape case lodged against him in Surat by a former woman devotee in 2013.

One of the two sisters, in her complaint against

Asaram, had accused him of repeated sexual assaults between 2001 and 2006 when she was staying at his ashram near Ahmedabad.

In the case lodged in Rajasthan, the teenager had accused Asaram of sexual assault at his ashram in Manai village near Jodhpur.

The girl, who belonged to Shahjahanpur in Uttar Pradesh, was a student living in the ashram.

Asaram was arrested by the Jodhpur Police on August 31, 2013 and has been in jail since then.

The apex court on July 12 restrained Karnataka Speaker K R Ramesh Kumar from taking any decision till July 16 on resignation and disqualification of 10 rebel MLAs of the ruling Congress-Janata Dal (Secular) coalition.

The 10 rebel MLAs, who moved the Supreme Court earlier alleging that the speaker was not accepting their resignation, were -Pratap Gouda Patil, Ramesh Jarkiholi, Byrati Basavaraj, B C Patil, S T Somashekhar, Arbail Shivaram Hebbar, Mahesh Kumathalli, K Gopalaiah, A H Vishwanath and Narayana Gowda.

CHANDIGARH, JUL 15 (PTI): Hours after Navjot Singh Sidhu sent his resignation from Punjab Cabinet to the chief minister, Amarinder Singh said the cricketer-turned-politician should have taken over the charge of his new department like other ministers whose portfolios had been reshuffled.

On Sidhu submitting his resignation to him a day after going public with his decision, Singh, who was in Delhi on Monday, told reporters outside Parliament he was yet to go through the contents of Sidhu’s letter, which is not public yet, and would do so once he returns to Chandigarh. Asked if it was embarrassing for his government that differences between him and Sidhu were playing out in the public, the chief minister stressed he had no issues with him.

“No, it is not embarrassing for the government.

Look, there has to be some discipline in the organisation. After seeing the performance of our ministers, I have shifted them around where I thought somebody is good in a particular job, I have given him that job”.

Sidhu’s resignation letter was addressed to Rahul Gandhi, the Congress president then. It was dated June 10, just four days after Sidhu’s portfolio was changed.

minister said, “I thought power is an important thing for Punjab, one of our most important thing, so I gave it to Sidhu, but he did not want it. So I said once a decision has been taken, you can’t say I will take this and I will not take that. “It’s like some General saying I am not going to get posted to Ladakh, send me to Manipur. How can you say this?

You have to do what you are told to do,” the 77-year-old two-time chief minister said firmly.

“How come 12 other ministers have taken over job (charge of their new portfolios),” he said.

Singh had divested Sidhu of the Local Government and Tourism and Cultural Affairs departments and allotted him the Power and New and Renewable Energy portfolio. Portfolios of several other ministers too had been changed in the reshuffle exercise. Asked if he would be happy now since

he had got rid of Sidhu, with whom he has been at loggerheads, Singh quipped, “Why should I be happy, I am not happy about anybody going”.

When asked what was the fight about between them, Singh said, “I have no fight with him. You can ask him”. “I have no issues with him,” he replied when asked if he had made any attempt at reconciliation.

He stressed that Sidhu should have taken over the charge of power department first and if later on he felt he wanted some other portfolio that could have been considered in future. The chief minister evaded a reply when asked if he made a mistake by inducting Sidhu into his cabinet.

Replying to a question on Sidhu submitting his resignation to Gandhi, Singh felt that there was no harm in the minister sending his papers to the then Congress president. “After all Congress president is the person who decides who should be in the cabinet including in my cabinet,” he said.

The chief minister clarified he did not oppose the Lok Sabha candidature of Sidhu’s wife Navjot Kaur and had suggested she should contest from Bathinda, which the couple rejected. Sidhu, a former BJP leader, had joined the Congress ahead of the 2017 Punjab assembly polls.

NEW DELHI, JUL 15 (PTI): The Supreme Court Monday rejected the bail plea of self-styled preacher Asaram Bapu, who is facing trial in a rape case lodged against him in Gujarat.

A bench comprising justices N V Ramana and Ajay Rastogi was informed

by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Gujarat government, that the trial in the case was going on and 10 witnesses were yet to be examined.

The apex court was hearing Asaram’s plea against the January 2015 order passed by the Gujarat High Court which had dismissed his bail application in the case. Two Surat-based sisters had lodged separate complaints against Asaram and his son Narayan Sai accusing them of rape and illegal confinement among other charges.

The top court, while dismissing Asaram’s bail plea, said the lower court will proceed with trial and will not be influenced by the “prima facie” observations made by the Gujarat High Court in its 2015 order.

Last year, a Jodhpur court had sentenced Asaram to life term after finding him

in Powai where the rebel MLAs are sequestered, to win them back to the coalition fold. In the letter to Mumbai police chief, the rebel MLAs said they have “absolutely no intention of meeting Mallikar jun Kharge or Ghulam Nabi Azad or any other Congress dignitary”.

The MLAs said they feel threatened, and requested the police to stop any Congress leader from meeting them.

B E N G A LU RU / N E W DELHI/MUMBAI, JUL 15 (PTI): The tottering Congress-JDS government in Karnataka led by H D Kumaraswamy will face the floor test in the assembly on July 18, that would end suspense over the numbers game triggered by a raft of resignations by the ruling coalition lawmakers.

As the political turmoil lingered on with the ruling coalition making frenetic efforts to win back rebels who have pushed it to the brink of collapse, Assembly Speaker K R Ramesh Kumar Monday announced the confidence motion sought to be moved by Kumaraswamy would be taken up at 11 am on July 18.

The date has been fixed after consulting both the opposition and ruling coalition leaders at the Business Advisory Commitee (BAC) meeting, Kumar said in the assembly and adjourned it till Thursday as demanded by the BJP. BJP maintained the government had been reduced to “a minority” with the 16 coalition MLAs resigning their assembly membership and hence opposed conduct of House business till the trust vote.

Kumaraswamy continued to remain confident his government would get over the crisis. “I have full confidence...why do you worry,” he told reporters here in response to a question as the coalition struggled to shore up its numbers

Assam’s yellow river

A

s erratic weather events become more common with climate change, India urgently needs to formulate a national flood management policy. Floods are a regular in India.

However, there is something peculiar about floods : they not only came early, but have stayed longer.

Assam is once again submerged in floods caused by overflow from various tributaries of the river Brahmaputra. Heavy rains this year in Arunachal Pradesh, Bhutan and Upper Assam have resulted in the Brahmaputra and its tributaries to flow above the danger mark. The excess water has broken embankments in many places causing severe floods along the route, especially in regions of Lower Assam. The river Brahmaputra is the world’s sixth largest river in terms of water resources carrying 629.05 km3/ year. The total length of the river is 2,906 km, with 918 km flowing through India, which includes 640 km flowing through Assam. Brahmaputra has 41 tributaries, with 26 flowing in the North bank and 15 in the South bank.

Floods in Assam is an annual feature that people of the state have been living with ever since time immemorial. According to official sources, at least 16 lakh people have been affected by the floods and seven dead and over 20,000 displaced and shifted to 68 relief camps across Assam. Since 1954, over 4.2 lakh hectares of land has been lost to erosion, that’s over 7.1% of the state. According to the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) 145 villages are under water and 3,435 hectares of crop areas have been damaged.

Embankments, roads, bridges, culverts and many other infrastructure have been damaged at various places in Barpeta, Udalguri, Lakhimpur, Sonitpur and Jorhat districts. With 80% of the famous Kaziranga National Park submerged, Assam’s pride - the one-horned Rhinos and other wildlife across the state, have had to face the brunt of swelling waters. Despite investments by successive central or state governments, it is time to review the long term cost-benefit analysis of measures undertaken and see whether the solutions attempted so far have addressed the problem at its root. Clutching at straws has often been the case with government agencies when it comes to tackling flood and erosion. The problem is further compounded by human settlements along the river and its various tributaries, thereby restricting the flow to follow its natural spread in times of flood. The building of embankments along the Brahmaputra and its tributaries has only added to flooding waters breaking embankments. Then when things go wrong, successive governments would typically rush in with some half-baked semi-successful formula meant to give hope that a certain embankment won’t be breached or an entire village won’t simply vanish due to erosion. According to officials, the centre’s intentions have come under a cloud as many flood and erosion control schemes proposed by the Assam water resources department have been lying unapproved for years. The cost sharing model has also changed with different Five Year Plans. According to experts in water management, there has been excess emphasis for investing in structural solutions like building of embankments and little focus on natural flood control mechanisms based on local topography. Also, lack of countryside drainage through construction of sluices at critical points have also added to drainage congestion.

The Assam government needs to take urgent preventive action against the perennial curse.

DailyDevotion My Life’s Spiritual Honor and Duty I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians…

—Romans 1:14 Paul was overwhelmed with the sense of his indebtedness to Jesus Christ, and he spent his life to express it. The greatest inspiration in Paul’s life was his view of Jesus Christ as his spiritual creditor.

Do I feel that same sense of indebtedness to Christ regarding every unsaved soul? As a saint, my life’s spiritual honor and duty is to fulfill my debt to Christ in relation to these lost souls. Every tiny bit of my life that has value I owe to the redemption of Jesus Christ. Am I doing anything to enable Him to bring His redemption into evident reality in the lives of others? I will only be able to do this as the Spirit of God works into me this sense of indebtedness.

I am not a superior person among other people— I am a bondservant of the Lord Jesus. Paul said, “…you are not your own…you were bought at a price…” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Paul sold himself to Jesus Christ and he said, in effect, “I am a debtor to everyone on the face of the earth because of the gospel of Jesus; I am free only that I may be an absolute bondservant of His.” That is the characteristic of a Christian’s life once this level of spiritual honor and duty becomes real. Quit praying about yourself and spend your life for the sake of others as the bondservant of Jesus. That is the true meaning of being broken bread and poured-out wine in real life.

The Enumeration Barriers under RIIN

he Art 371(A) Clause (a) Sub-Clause (ii) & (iii) are clear that “the Naga customary law and procedure” and “the administration of civil and criminal justice involving decisions according to Naga customary law” respectively as for running the affairs of the people of Nagaland State. Accordingly, during the last 56 years of Statehood we have been running the affairs of our people according to our customary practices simultaneously with the legal provisions under the Constitution of India. Thus, Naga customary practices are as much legal as any law passed by Parliament or by Nagaland Legislative Assembly. Yet, our customary laws are not codified and made into a written law not because of any complication but because of our own negligence. In absence of the codified customary codes, the application of its practices pertaining to criminal or civil matters are never uniform not to speak of the Nagas of Nagaland as a whole but even between two Villages within a tribe have varied legal interpretations and applications on a given particular case.

In the light of the prevailing backdrop, the enumeration of the indigenous Nagas of Nagaland may encounter both obvious and unexpected hurdles in the process as I anticipate the following: 1. The Enumerators: In my earlier write up, I made critical observation on the District level administrative officers who will be heading the Teams of enumerators. Yet, not only the administrators but each of the 7 member Team has vital role to play. A GB can play damaging role as he will have vetting power to reject or accept a citizen when he is not honest and so also the rest. The lack

T

of synchronisation between the people and the team can be developed whereby the supposed to be simple and smooth transactions can be turned into major hurdles.

2. The Adoption: Every Naga tribe in Nagaland has unwritten customary adoption code, and yet it may vary from one another. There are several male and female non-Nagas by blood being adopted as bona fide citizens in their hundreds and thousands as I believe. To enrol them as indigenous will dent the spirit of the RIIN and to discard them will be a liability. The Villages and the tribal apex bodies have to judiciously deal with this intricacy. Some of the issues of adoption may snowball into major tussle between local authorities.

3 . T h e M a r r i a ge : The Nagas uphold patriarchal system. A non-Naga woman married to a Naga and their offspring may not necessarily become a controversy as for their indigene. Whereas, there are thousands of Naga women being married to no-Naga men. The offspring of such wedlock who may like to claim the indigenous citizenship will pose major hurdle to the Team. Such dispute may have to be studied at the tribal court.

4. Indecision of the State Govt.: When my mind stepped upon this point of indecision, I remembered the comment of the then PM of India late Sri. Narasimha Rao. Under his leadership, maximum committees were formed to deal with the issues of public interest. Besides, he had the habit of keeping the matters pending for want of his decision. In the midst of demands for timely decision, someone criticised him for his indecision. Reacting to such an attack, ‘Indecision is my decision’ came the retort.

The NDPP led Govt. has done well so far as the RIIN is concerned, and yet just a beginning has been initiated and what matters is how to bring it to the logical conclusion.

The State Govt. must not be cowed down by undue pressures whereby it becomes too consultative. The NDPP Ministry is a mandated Govt. and therefore it should not be converted into Consultative Govt., rather it has to remain as action oriented Govt. I believe the present day Govt. is physically, politically and mentally efficient enough to remain decisive and to take decisions on the interests of Nagaland without fear or favour as per the oath you all had taken. Nagaland Govt. must not become the second Rao. 5. The NSF & Naga Hoho: I read the statements of both NSF and Naga Hoho on RIIN. The statement of NSF is sober and whereas the statement of the President of Naga Hoho is blunt to the point without ambiguity and yet there is no difference between the two statements. What NSF & Naga Hoho insist on the State Govt. of Nagaland is when enumeration is carried out under RIIN, the Nagas from Manipur and other States who have settled in Nagaland irrespective of the cut-off year should not be placed in the category of non-Nagas but rather be treated at par with the rest of the 14 aboriginal Naga tribes of Nagaland. Fortunately or unfortunately the Nagas were placed under different States in India.

It is worthless to cry over the spilled milk of why we are kept in division for the reason that nothing happens without the knowledge of the Living God Whom we believe.

The prevailing situation is the contemporary political

reality. When the Nagas will learn how to live together, the Living God may pave the way one day. Till then I, as a Naga by blood and belong to Nagaland, I will be registered as an indigenous citizen of Nagaland. Whereas, the Nagas who originally hailed from Manipur, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh and had settled in Nagaland prior to cut-off year will have to be enrolled as indigenous inhabitants of Nagaland without tribal status for the reason that they do not belong to any of the indigenous tribes of Nagaland.

Secondly, as for the suggestion to relax the application of ILP against the Nagas from outside Nagaland is concerned, it is better for our brothers from other States to understand the implications without much ado. When the application of a law is to be relaxed, the only alternative is to amend the law itself first. I understand that when Nagaland Govt. exempts the Nagas from other States from the application of ILP, the BEFR of 1873 has to be amended whereby the ILP will become a paper tiger. Will it be in the interest of the Nagas as a whole if our protective laws are made toothless for occasional conveniences? Should the State of Nagaland do away with ILP for the sake of the Nagas from other States?

If Nagaland is legally equipped well, preserve it in the best interest of all the Nagas in the long run.

Dismantling our protective laws will basically uproot ourselves.

Particularly, what authority Naga Hoho has over Nagaland?

6. The NSCN(IM): I am compelled to slightly sidetrack outside RIIN to react to few points so raised. Its statement carried in local papers on

A simple proposal for RIIN…?

he decision to have the ‘Register of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland’ (RIIN) is laudable if it can be prepared in its pure form. But the apprehension expressed by organizations as well as individuals is that it may do more harm than good to the future generation if it is not correctly done. For example, the successive Governments in Nagaland are being blamed for failure to implement ILP regulations.

We must admit that we have been failing miserably to check illegal immigrants; main reason for it may be attributed to the failure of the implementing agencies at various stages even if the Government may have the determination to implement it strictly. In the same measure, the stakeholders’ apprehension may prove right later on if the preparation and implementation system of RIIN are not strictly laid down first before the exercise starts.

Since the decision is good, why not we make it simpler and see that the register is prepared without implicating it with any other rules or regulations at the moment.

Nagas have very close attachment to our ancestral villages wherever we may be. The family, clan and community system in the villages are still highly revered by one and all. Every village has its own history.

The citizens living in towns go to their respective villages once or twice a year to attend festivals or important events in order to keep the link of their ancestral history alive. Even before the advent of the British people

into our land, Naga villages were self contained and self administered an pure republics. Naga villages can rise to the occasion any time when they are entrusted with any responsibility in the interest of the people.

I believe that the Register for Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland can best be prepared in its purest form within a short period of time by the Naga villages.

The Government of Nagaland should trust her own people that this exercise can be done satisfactorily only by the indigenous citizens of Nagaland themselves.

Nagaland Government can authorize the village authorities/ councils to carry out the exercise of preparing the Register of indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland within time frame. If that authorization is given with clear instructions, the village authorities can arrange the rest by themselves within their jurisdiction. The villages can fix their own time for her citizens to come together to register their names.

When the Roman Governor Quirinius asked the citizens to go to their own towns to register their names as per the decree issued by Caesar Augustus for census of the entire Roman World, Joseph and Mary went to Bethlehem to register their names even if they did not have a house in their own native village. Many Nagas who had migrated to towns long ago may not have their houses in their own villages but their attachment to their ancestral villages remains the same. When asked, citizens will be too happy to go to their respective villages to

register their names. It will be in the fitness of things if the register is prepared first without implicating it with other issues even if the word ‘indigenous or indigenous inhabitants’ are mentioned in other rules or regulations.

Once it is done, COMPUTERISE IT so that no change can be affected later on.

The village authorities can take the initiative but the role of the students is important here. Students should assist, monitor the work in every village and for which they should be authorized to be part of the exercise. Why because, student organizations are the only one going against illegal immigration in the area. Therefore, towards this end, NSF/ENSF should issue uniform directive to their district, village units.

After completion, the Government can sit over it and apply their mind when and where or in what sense this register can be of use to protect the interest of the people. In doing so, Government should also work out how to protect the permanent settlers of Nagaland in reference to 1963 E/R. The Government must ensure to protect the interest of the minority groups in Nagaland in the best possible manner.

There is no point for the Nagas from other areas other than the Nagaland State to have any doubt or fear for it. Nagas villages wherever it may be, can take up this exercise for its own record any time even without directive from elsewhere if the village authorities so decide.

Dr. Shürhozelie Liezitsu

13.7.2019 is found to be intimidating the State Govt. of Nagaland on the issue of RIIN as usual alleging that “RIIN is politically motivated to suit the interest of the groups advocating for the 16-Point Agreement”.

This quoted statement implies two issues. The first is the chorus of NSCN(IM)’s hatred against the 16-Point Memorandum of 1960 as we all know. Yes, the 16-Point Memo was the mother that beget the State of Nagaland. Had it not been the 16-Point Memo of NPC, Nagaland would never had been born but we, the Nagas of Nagaland of today, would have been the citizens of Naga Hills Tuensang Area placed under a District in the State of Assam. Whatever may be the limited infrastructural developments we have in Nagaland today, whatever may be the living standard of the people of Nagaland today and whatever comforts the host and the guests do enjoy in Nagaland today are solely provided by the 16-Point Memorandum.

The metaphor is that the 16-Point Memorandum is the tree and Nagaland is the fruit. The NSCN(IM) hates the tree whereas it loves its fruits. If one hates the tree one must not obsessed with the fruit of that tree. I need not doubt about the much better status than the 16-Point Memo the NSCN(IM) will fetch for the Nagas when the solution is evolved out of the ongoing negotiation.

The other is, whatever the NSCN(IM) wants to cast aspersion on the NDPP Govt. for initiating RIIN, the Govt. of Nagaland has its constitutional rights to frame any law and implement the same within the given parameters. Whereas, for the Govt. of Nagaland to remain ignorant about who is her legal citizen and who is not is nothing but foolishness. As long

as the Govt. of Nagaland governs for the Nagas of Nagaland, it will remain legitimate. The moment it fails to stand for the interest of its bona fide citizens, it will disqualify itself.

No Naga is against integration of the Naga areas including myself.

Yet, the primary step for integration is unity among the Nagas. Keeping not less than 9 NNPG govts. alive and talking about Naga unity and barking at RIIN to be the source of such division is like pointing finger at the particle in the eye of one while having pecks in his own eye. I rather question the NSCN(IM) what uniting role it has been playing all through these years of division of the Nagas?

Could that condition imposed on the GOI not to engage any other NNPG for simultaneous dialogue till NSCN(IM) settles its issue with GOI unite the Naga NNPGs or pave the way for integration? It is illogical for NSCN(IM) to blame the Govt. of Nagaland to undertake RIIN as ‘politically motivated’ while all through these decades it refused to climb down from its multi storeys of egoistic pride by which the Naga unity has been kept in shambles. The NSCN(IM) must have the capacity to blush whenever required Bet it Naga Hoho, be it NSF or NSCN(IM) or be it any individual Naga from within or outside may extend support in strengthening Nagaland and its laws. On the contrary, if anyone undermines the Nagas of Nagaland, tries to impose its will on the Nagas of Nagaland and has interest to dilute our protective laws and to transform Nagaland into the ultimate Dustbin, that will be the actual division of the Nagas.

The loftiness of the Naga national movement and the RIIN

T

he Naga national movement was not a movement launched so that India- or for that matter- any other nation can define to us who we are or what indigenous rights we had to our lands. It was also never a movement that was launched so that some neighbouring countries can integrate us under their own Constitutions. On the contrary, in order to affirm our stand as a nation, we hoisted our national flag on August 14, 1947 and declared our sovereign independent republic called the Federal Government of Nagaland on March 22, 1956.

Tragically, over the years, some pseudo self appointed, so called governments of Nagaland have hijacked the Naga peoples Federal Government and have gotten themselves hopelessly entangled in India’s internal affairs. This tragic story began in 1960 when some selfish and cowardly Nagas instead of standing with their compatriots to defend Nagaland, instead asked for a state under the Constitution of India.

This act resulted in Nagaland becoming the 16th state in India on December 1, 1963. To cut a long story short, today besides the Indian Nagaland state, there are 8 other Naga national political groups (NNPGs) talking with the Indian government with their own different political agendas. Some of these groups seems be asking for integration of Naga territories under a common (foreign) political umbrella while others seem to be asking for a shared sovereignty with

India. Also, under the guise of a shared sovereignty, some of these NNPGS seem to be even seeking for a duel indigenous identity and land ownership rights in two different tribal lands. Here, I have used the word “seem” because none of these NNPGs have so far revealed any details of their secret talks with the Indian government.

In the light of these political developments and the accompanying confusions, the following universal facts and Naga political facts are reiterated: The word indigenous means, ‘native or naturally belonging to a (geographical) place.’ In this sense there can be no indigenous identity of a person without an accompanying geographical reference point. Now, a Naga cannot be an indigenous Indian simply because he/she (or even his ancestors) has no lands in India. But in the case of Nagaland, a Naga is an indigenous inhabitant of Nagaland because he has lands in Nagaland where his ancestors have also lived. The Naga national movement was launched to safeguard both these Naga national identity and Naga geographical identity.

But if we surrender our unique geographical identity to become one with India, we will end up losing both our national identity as well as our indigenous identity. In such a situation, we will become nobody’s both in India as well as in Nagaland.

Reader’s Post Sir,

Proper streamlining

The side entrance to New Market Dimapur from NL Road is very dirty and slushy due to the recent rains. Vendors occupy the little space along the lane making it difficult for public to move freely as they go about their shopping.

Proper streamlining is essential not only for business but also to give a clean appearance to the market overall.

contraceptive pills (OCP).

Addressing media persons, FPA India Nagaland branch general manager, Vincent Belho said that National Family Health Survey-4 (NFHS-4) has recorded unmet need of young married women (15-24 years) at a staggering 45%.

However, the unmet need of unmarried young people was not documented in any national survey reports, but studies have shown that sexually active adolescents (married or unmarried) face many barriers in obtaining contraceptive services and products to prevent pregnancy.

Despite public health services being accessible and affordable, Belho said private sector has become a major source of health care for the youth population, leading to disproportionate expenditures and a “tendency to avoid or delay investments in preventive health care, including family planning”.

He said that Government of India was committed to FP 2020 goals and focus on increasing the modern contraceptive usage from 53.1% to 54.3%.

Belho also said that the vision of FP 2020 for India was not just about providing

Manager, advocacy and partnership, FPA HQ, Siddharth Mohanty gave a brief overview of FPA India’s initiative that has made significant strides towards achieving the goals.

Mohanty said that there have been remarkable gains in reaching out to those unreached, improving quality of FP services and expanding choices. But, there was still more work to be done, he said.

KOHIMA, Jul 15 (NPN): Family Planning Association of India (FPA India), Nagaland branch held an interactive programme at hotel Japfü here on Monday as part of the nationwide campaign ‘Youth DialogueA perspective on FP 2020’ to create awareness on ‘Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights for all’.

The campaign intends to mobilise the young population of India residing in various cities, towns, slums and villages and initiate conversation to understand their access to information and services related to sexual and reproductive health.

According to FPA India data, in 2018,the number of females (Under the age of 25 years) who availed abortion services is 74,871 whereas 1,60,076 number of males (Under the age of 25 years) took general counseling from FPAI on Family Planning and contraception. The data also reveal that 1,58,117 number of females (under the age of 25 years) took Oral

He further said that 50 percent of Indian population are aged between18-35 and therefore there was a need to understand and differentiated the requirements. He also said that many studies on married people have been conducted but no survey on the younger, unmarried generation had been made before.

Mohanty also said that the survey will cover 12 states in India and therefore advised the people to be open-minded during the survey. Youth volunteer, Tinunuken Longkumer said that education and awareness should start from home but Nagas were still living in a generation where talking about sex has become a taboo. “People are not open to it and this is where we go wrong”, he said.

He also said that during the survey many young people were not confident to open up while some school teachers try to avoid such subject chapters in the book.He therefore called for counselling and creating awareness on the youth and younger generation on these topics.

The penalty, RBI said, is based on deficiencies in regulatory compliance and is not intended to pronounce upon the validity of any transaction or agreement entered into by the bank with its customers.

than the rest of the world’s,” the research states.

Additionally, over 40% of the world’s 5,000 largest companies are Asian. According to the 2018 Fortune Global 500 ranking, 210 of the world’s 500 biggest companies by revenue were Asian. The region’s share of top-performing firms has grown from 19% to 30% in the past two decades.

Most of these companies are from China, India, Japan, and Korea, and the most dominant sectors within this group are computers and electronics, automotive, and banking.

In the decade since 2005-07, the economic profit produced by top-quintile Asian firms has increased by 57% (versus 33% in North America). Meanwhile, the economic profit destroyed by bottom quintile Asian firms increased sevenfold (versus 2.5 times in North America). This effect tends to squeeze the firms in the middle of the distribution, a phenomenon though global, but particularly pronounced in Asia. Asia may be replicating some of the patterns that have taken hold in the West.

Asia which today accounts for half (2.2 billion) of the world’s internet users; China and India alone account for one-third. The region’s enormous pools of digital consumers support a flourishing and an innovative technology sector.

Mumbai, Jul 15 (PTI): RBI Monday said it has slapped a penalty of Rs 7 crore on SBI for non-compliance with norms related to NPA identification and fraud risk management, among others.

The penalty has been imposed on the bank for non-compliance of income recognition and asset classification (IRAC) norms, code of conduct for opening and operating current accounts and reporting of data on Central Repository of Information on Large Credits (CRILC), and fraud risk management and clas-

ing to the research, the 21stcentury will be characterized by a pivot toward Asia, and business and market leaders will need an accurate picture of what a future Asia will look like as they set longterm strategies.

McKinsey’s research highlights that the region is on track to top 50% of global GDP by 2040 and drive 40% of the world’s consumption.

Furthermore, as consumption rises, more of what gets made in Asia is being sold locally instead of being exported to the West.

Today, 52% of Asian trade is intra-regional.

“While the previous era of globalization was marked by Western companies building supply chains that stretched halfway around the world as they sought out the lowest possible labour costs, today only 18% of goods trade involves exports from lowwage countries to high-wage countries,” said Jonathan Woetzel, a Senior Partner at McKinsey and Director of MGI. As wages have risen in China, countries like Vietnam, India and Bangladesh have managed to grow their exports of labour-intensive manufactured goods by annual rates of 15%, 8% and 7%, respectively. “While the trade intensity of goods has declined, service flows have become the real connective tissue of the global economy – and Asia’s services trade is growing 1.7 times faster

Mumbai, Jul 15 (Agencies): India is poised to overtake the UK to become the world’s fifth largest economy, with a GDP or gross domestic production about double the size of either Canada or Russia, in the coming years, according to research by the Mckinsey Global Institute (MGI).

Also, along with China, which competes as an economy with the US, the institute says, Asia is now the centre of global economic activity.

“The rise of Asia is happening faster than expected. Fast-followers are already industry leaders.

The rural class is already the urban middle class. Asian cities are already international financial centres,” says the research.

McKinsey & Company, in partnership with the MGI, today launched Future of Asia – new research that examines, not how quickly Asia will rise, but how Asia will lead.

The MGI research examined 71 developing economies and singled out 18 of them for consistently posting robust economic GDP growth. All seven long term outperformers and five out of 11 recent outperformers are located in Asia.

New Delhi, Jul 15 (IANS): Lower prices of key transportation fuels along with manufactured items eased India’s annual rate of inflation, based on wholesale prices, to a 23month low of 2.02 per cent in June from 2.45 per cent in May, official data showed on Monday.

Similarly, on a year-onyear (YoY) basis, the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) data furnished by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry showed a decelerating trend as inflation had risen to 5.68 per cent during the corresponding period of 2018.

Expenses on manufactured products registered a rise of 0.94 per cent against 4.17 per cent.

On last Friday, the data furnished by the National Statistical Office (NSO), showed that higher food prices accelerated India’s June retail inflation to 3.18 per cent from 3.05 per cent in May. However, on a yearon-year (YoY) basis, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in June 2019 was lower than the corresponding period of last year when retail inflation stood at 4.92 per cent.

Accordingly, the Consumer Food Price Index (CFPI) inflated to 2.17 per cent during the month under review from an expansion of 1.83 per cent in May 2019.

Commenting on June’s WPI data, ICRA’s Principal Economist Aditi Nayar said: “The dip in the WPI inflation to a 23-month low in June 2019 was led by a favourable base effect, lower crude oil prices, as well as the decline in core inflation to below 1 per cent, highlighting the lack of pricing power, and offsetting the concern generated by firm food inflation.”

Nepal flood: appeals to intl agencies for help

KATHMANDU, JUL 15 (PTI): Flood-hit Nepal has appealed to the international agencies for help to prevent the possible waterborne diseases and to ensure proper health services to the tens of thousand of people affected by the incessant rains that has claimed at least 67 lives, according to media reports.

Nepal has been hit by heavy rainfall since Thursday. More than 25 districts and 10,385 households have been affected. Thirty two people are reported to be missing in the rain-related incidents that have thrown normal life out of gear in central and eastern parts of the country.

Many parts of Kathmandu, including Kalanki, Kupondole, Kuleshwor and Balkhu were submerged under water on Friday.

Those killed include three from Kathmandu, six from Makawanpur, five each from Lalitpur, Rautahat and Bhojpur, four each from Dhanusha, Khotang and Kavre districts, authorities said. Similarly, three each from Khotang, Dhanusha, Kavre, two each killed from Jhapa, Udaypur, Bara, Parsa, Mohattari, Dhading and Dolpa, and one each killed

from Ilam, Panchthar, Morang, Sunsari, Ramechhap, Chitawan, Palpa and Dang, they added.

Nepal Police said they have rescued 1,445 stranded people from different parts of the country, including Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Dhading, Rautahat, Chitawan and Siraha.

An emergency meeting was called on Sunday to take stock of the damage caused by the rains. Representatives of the World Health Organisation Nepal Office, the United Nations Children’s Fund, (UNICEF), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and other agencies were present at the

meeting, The Kathmandu Post reported.

The Health Emergency Operation Centre, set up by the Ministry of Health and Population, has asked international partner agencies to help and mobilise their mechanisms in the districts hit by flood and landslide.

During the meeting at the Health Ministry on Sunday, the centre informed representatives of the agencies about the possible risk of disease outbreaks in the districts.

“We have also requested them to mobilise their local channels in the areas of need. All our international partner agencies are ready to provide all kinds of help,” Chudamani Bhandari, chief of the centre, told the Post.

The Health Ministry has also directed all the central-level hospitals and medical colleges to prepare emergency teams of doctors to be mobilised in the disaster-hit areas, Bhandari said.

Three teams of doctors from the Health Ministry would be deployed on Monday to Pathlaiya of Bara district, Lahan of Siraha district and Bardibas of Mahottari district of Province 2, one of the provinces worst hit by the floods, he said.

Those teams would coordinate with the provincial and local governments to ensure health services to the needy people.

Health experts have warned of possible outbreaks of waterborne diseases—diarrhea, dysentery, typhoid, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis E in the flood-hit areas of the Tarai region, as most of the water resources have been contaminated by floodwaters, the report said.

“Cases of malaria, dengue, kalajar could go up and people in the affected areas are vulnerable to snake bites as well,” said Dr Sameer Kumar Adhikari, an official at the Epidemiology and Disease Control Division. The division has also urged all provincial governments to not allow health workers to take leave during the monsoon, which is considered an epidemic season. Provinces 1, 2 and 3 are the worst hit, with Lalitpur, Bhojpur and Rautahat witnessing the highest death toll, The Himalayan Times reported.

Provincial governments have decided to provide relief for flood and landslide victims. They will also provide free medical treatment to the 38 people who have been injured so far.

ISLAMABAD, JUL 15 (PTI): At least 23 people were killed and several others are missing after a cloudburst caused flash flood in the Neelum Valley of the Pakistan occupied Kashmir, officials said.

A large number of homes in the Laswa area of the Valley were damaged and dozens of people were swept away in the flooding caused by relentless rainfall after the cloudburst over night.

“The Laswa area of the valley was badly hit where many house were swept away. There were also reports of landsliding in some areas. A total of 23 people have been killed,” Syed Al-Rehman Qureshi, Director of Operations, State Disaster Management Authority, said.

He said several people, including women and children, are still missing.

Landslides were also reported in the area and officials said many structures in the Laswa’s main market, including two mosques, were completely destroyed.

Traffic flow in the area has been severely disrupted, while cell phone and internet services are also affected.

He pointed out that as per a Nagaland Public Service Commission (NPSC) advertisement seeking applications for the posts of APO and PA, the qualification criteria was Masters or Bachelors degree in Economics, Statistics, Physics and Mathematics, however Sino did not meet the required qualification as she was serving as assistant professor (Mass Communication) in Nagaland University.

Yanthan said to kick start skill development, OSD (SK) was created in the planning department and Sino was brought in to the department on deputation to look after skill development activities. And when the skill development department took up the programme in 2016, he said OSD (SD) post should also have gone, but he added that Sino did not raise her voice that time for reasons best known to her.

Yanthan said the OSD could be anywhere in the planning department, but her post should not be included in the planning machinery line.

Mentioning that there were members in the as-

come through NPSC, Longkumer remarked that they understood the issues better. He claimed that the joint development commissioner was from Eastern Nagaland, along with the in-line would-be head of department. As such, he claimed all members were supporting the association on the issue.

Other NSPMSA office bearers present at the press conference remarked that OSD (SD) was totally nontransferable and the cabinet decision was contempt of court. They clarified that the association was not against any individual or organisation, but wanted the court verdict to be respected.

Claiming that the cabinet decision was in total violation of the court judgment and victimised 56 officials, the association demanded that the cabinet decision be reviewed.

Else, they added it would set a bad precedent for the younger generation and also others in department. They said though they had a preliminary meeting with chief secretary Temjen Toy on the issue, it did not result in any positive outcome.

Hong Kong returned to Chinese rule in 1997 under a “one country, two systems” formula that guarantees freedoms for 50 years that are not enjoyed in mainland China, including the right to protest and an independent judiciary.

But many residents worry about what they see as an erosion of those freedoms and a relentless march toward mainland control.

Beijing denies interfering in Hong Kong affairs.

that has sparked the protests would have allowed criminal suspects in Hong Kong to be sent to China to face trial in courts controlled by the ruling Communist Party.

Critics say that would threaten Hong Kong’s rule of law and its place as an Asian financial hub.

Demonstrations have drawn hundreds of thousands of people into the streets since early June.

Under pressure, Lam suspended the bill in midJune and last week declared it “dead”, but opponents say they want to see its formal withdrawal from the legislative process. Protesters have recently seized upon the widespread anger over the bill to draw attention to a litany of other grievances, including the territory’s relative lack of democracy and mainland traders, blamed

by Hong Kong residents for fuelling inflation.

Tens of thousands of people attended Sunday’s protest which ended in chaos in a shopping mall, with scores of protesters threw umbrellas, hard-hats and plastic bottles at police who fired pepper spray and hit out with batons.

Lam said more than 10 police were injured with six hospitalised. The govern-

ment information office said 28 people, including police, were injured.

Police Chief Stephen Lo said late on Sunday more than 40 people were arrested on charges including assaulting police and illegal assembly.

Security chief John Lee said the government was concerned at an apparent escalation of violence by activists who threw bricks and iron bars.

“We found that people who attacked the police were very organised ... they are well-planned and there are plans to deliberately do damage and disrupt social stability,” Lee said as he visited the hospital with Lam.

WASHINGTON, JUL 14 (AFP): US President Donald Trump on Sunday told unnamed Democratic Congresswomen to “go back” where they came from, prompting senior members of the party to brand him a “racist” and a xenophobe.

It is the latest controversial comment by Trump, who last year reportedly referred to countries in Africa as “shithole” nations, and who has spoken of “an invasion” of undocumented migrants.

In a tweet, Tr ump referred to “’Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen,” which appeared to be a reference to a group of outspoken relatively young, liberal women, all first-time

Tlaib, who was born in Detroit, is the first American of Palestinian descent elected to Congress.

Omar, who fled wartorn Somalia as a child and came to the United States as a refugee, is the first black Muslim woman in Congress.

“That’s a racist tweet,” Assistant House Speaker Ben Ray Lujan, the highestranking Latino member of Congress, said on “Fox News Sunday.” “ T h e s e are American citizens elected by voters in the United States of America.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has warned her party to avoid the “menace” of liberal policies pushed by OcasioCortez and the other progressives, if the Democrats hope to beat Trump in the 2020 election.

But on Twitter Sunday she criticized Trump’s “attack.” “I reject @realDonaldTrump’s xenophobic comments meant to divide our nation,” she said.

HONG KONG, JUL 15 (AGENCIES): Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said on Monday protesters who clashed with police on the weekend were rioters, a legally loaded term in the city, and she supported the police in upholding the law and seeking perpetrators.

Lam made the comments at a hospital where she visited three police officers injured in violent disturbances on Sunday between police and demonstrators angry about an extradition bill.

Hong Kong has been rocked by large and sometimes violent street protests over the past month against the extradition bill, which many city residents see as a threat to their freedoms, plunging the former British colony into its biggest political crisis since it was handed back to China in 1997.

“We thank the police officers for maintaining social order loyally and professionally, but they have suffered in attacks from those rioters - they can be called rioters,” she said.

With more protests expected in coming days and weeks, her comments risk raising tension.

honorary doctorate Donald Glover’s cameo was cut from Next 007 will be revealed SRKbytoLagetTrobe University ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ in ‘Bond 25’: report S D

T

he next James Bond film will show the secret agent pass the torch — and fans of the Ian Fleming-inspired franchise are in for a shock as to which star gets the latest license to kill.

Reports claim that the next Agent 007 will be played by British actress Lashana Lynch.

Lynch, 31, had a breakout role in “Captain Marvel” as Maria Rambeau, the titular superhero’s best friend and fellow Air Force pilot. The Daily Mail reports that screenwriter Phoebe Waller-Bridge intervened to pass the torch on to the star.

“There is a pivotal scene at the start of the film where M says ‘Come in 007,’ and in walks Lashana who is black, beautiful and a woman,” a Bond insider claimed. “It’s a popcorndropping moment. Bond is still Bond but he’s been

replaced as 007 by this stunning woman.”

Cast member Lashana Lynch attends the “Bond 25” film launch at Ian Fleming’s home “GoldenEye” on April 25, 2019 in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Reports say that Lynch will inherit the 007 title in the upcoming film.

The source added, “Bond, of course, is sexually attracted to the new female 007 and tries his usual seduction tricks, but is baffled when they don’t work on a brilliant, young black woman who basically rolls her eyes at him and has no interest in jumping into his bed. Well, certainly not at the beginning.”

The insider also claimed that the phrase “Bond girls” is now verboten: The females in the spy franchise are now reportedly ordered to be called “Bond women.”

Waller-Bridge, who

pens the hit “Killing Eve,” said, “There’s been a lot of talk about whether or not Bond is relevant now because of who he is and the way he treats women.

I think that’s b—t. I think he’s absolutely relevant now. [The franchise] has just got to grow. It has just got to evolve, and the important thing is that the film treats the women properly. He doesn’t have to. He needs to be true to his character.”

James Bond director responds to rumors that his video game habits have delayed productionVideo The insider claims that the “Bond 25” script will maintain all of the classic Bond elements, including action and fight scenes with star Daniel Craig, while also tackling the super-spy’s role in the #MeToo era — but with an injection of humor over overt preaching.

The as-yet-untitled film will also see Christoph Waltz reprise his role as James Bond’s arch-enemy Ernst Stavro Blofeld, Variety reported. “Bond 25” has been plagued with reports of issues, including filming delays due to Craig’s ankle injury, Rami Malek’s conflicting schedule, on-set explosions and Grace Jones allegedly walking off the set after disappointment in the size of her cameo role.

uperstar Shah Rukh Khan is set to become an Honorary Doctor of Letters at La Trobe University, Australia. The honour will be conferred on him in recognition of his efforts to support underprivileged children, his dedication to the fight for womens empowerment through his foundation, and his achievement in the Indian entertainment industry.

SRK has worked at effecting change at ground level to build a world that empowers women through Meer Foundation, a philanthropic organisation he named after his father Meer Taj Mohammed Khan. One of the key focus areas has been to support the cause of acid attack survivors.

La Trobe University Vice-Chancellor, Professor John Dewar, said SRK’s philanthropic leadership closely aligns with the University’s values. “Mr. Khan is a champion of societal change. His efforts to support the equality of women in India reflect La Trobe’s values of inclusiveness, equity and social justice.”

Shah Rukh added: “I’m proud to be conferred with (a doctorate from) a great University like La Trobe, which has a longstanding relationship with Indian culture and (an) impressive track record in advocating for women’s equality. “I feel truly privileged to receive this Honor-

ary Doctorate and I would like to sincerely thank La Trobe for choosing to recognise my achievements in such a humbling way.”

The honour will be conferred upon the actor during his visit to Australia for the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne, where Shah Rukh will be the chief guest. The festival will take place from August 8 to August 17.

Festival Director of the IFFM, Mitu Bhowmick, said they were lucky to have La Trobe as a partner. “The University shares our festival’s core values of inclusion, diversity and cultural growth. To be a part of this magnificent celebration of Mr Shah Rukh Khan’s amazing work, with La Trobe, is a matter of great joy and pride for the festival.” La Trobe will present Shah Rukh with his Honorary Doctorate on August 9 at its Melbourne campus in Bundoora.

BTS member V reveals medical condition that causes him to break out in hives

B

TS’ V — real name Kim Tae-hyung — has revealed that he suffers from cholinergic urticaria, a condition that causes an outbreak of hives. On Sunday (July 14), the boyband member commented on a fan’s post on Weverse — a fan community platform app by the group’s label Big Hit Entertainment — explaining that he was experiencing symptoms from his condition. “No, I have a cholinergic allergy. I’m itchy, itchy,” he wrote, as translated by Soompi.

Cholinergic urticaria is a condition causes itchy red hives on the skin due to a rise in core body temperature, according to <em>Healthline</em>. The affliction is most commonly found in young adults.

Swift lashed out in a Tumblr post about the sale, calling Braun a “manipulative bully” for his association with client Kanye West and West’s wife, Kim Kardashian.

Swift also accused Borchetta of never informing her of the deal in advance, claiming she learned about

the sale in the press with the rest of the world. Borchetta vehemently denied her claims, saying he texted her in advance of the deal going public. In the same blistering blog post, Swift alleged that Kardashian’s video recording and release of Swift apparently giving the OK to use her name in West’s song “Famous” were illegal and slammed Braun for promoting the video to the track, in which a wax figure of her likeness appears nude.

Senegal, Algeria in Africa Cup final

Cairo, Jul 15 (Agencies): Riyad Mahrez curled in an injury-time free-kick to send Algeria through to the Africa Cup of Nations final with a 2-1 victory over Nigeria on Sunday.

The game at the Cairo International Stadium had looked to be heading to extra time as the two teams battled for the right to play Senegal in Friday’s showpiece, but Manchester City midfielder Mahrez won it for Algeria late on.

Ekong, with the Udinese central defender turning a Mahrez cross into his own net.

Odion Ighalo equalised with a penalty for Nigeria, with the spot-kick awarded for handball after a VAR review.

An additional 30 minutes seemed likely but Mahrez settled the tie with what proved to be the last kick of the match, curling in a free-kick from just outside the area.

It will be Algeria’s first appearance in the final since 1990, when they beat Nigeria on home soil to lift

the trophy - the only time they have done so.

Algeria will play Senegal in the final after a bizarre own goal in extra time sent the Lions through with a 1-0 win against Tunisia at the 30 June Stadium in the Egyptian capital.

A mistake by goalkeeper Mouez Hassen in the 100th minute saw the ball bounce off the head of defender Dylan Bronn and trickle into the net.

Hassen came racing towards the penalty spot to try to cut out a cross from the right flank but completely missed the ball,

which then hit the unfortunate Bronn. Ferjani Sassi missed a penalty for Tunisia and Henri Saivet did likewise for Senegal, but that was not the end of the drama.

Tunisia felt aggrieved as they were awarded another spot-kick late on after Salif Sane headed the ball against Idrissa Gueye’s arm, only for that decision to be controversially overturned following a VAR check. Senegal survived and are through to only their second Africa Cup of Nations final, having lost to Cameroon in 2002.

He is now 4,500 points clear of second-ranked Rafa Nadal who is just 485 points ahead of 37-year-old Federer.

The biggest climber is Roberto Bautista Agut whose ride to the semifinals, where he lost in four sets to Djokovic, sees him rise nine places to 13, equalling his best ranking.

Indian opener Rohit Sharma, who top scored with 648 runs at an average of 81 was also included alongside team mate Jasprit Bumrah.

BCCI to check on Kohli-Rohit rift Looking forward to playing Davis Cup tie: Bopanna Rohit lead the team in the shorter format while Kohli continues in Tests.

“This would be the right time for Rohit to take over the mantle of the captaincy in the 50-over format.

There has been immense support to the present captain and the management and it is time to plan ahead for the next World Cup and for that the existing ideas and plans need a fresh look.

We all know some areas need a relook. Rohit would be the right man for the job,” the functionary said.

But as per the functionary, the biggest concern that has come up post the exit is the talks of different camps and rumours of a rift between the Kohli and Rohit.

That could be detrimental for Indian cricket as the team looks to move forward and the matter is

set to be discussed when the review meeting takes place with coach Ravi Shastri, captain Kohli and chief selector M.S.K. Prasad in the presence of the Committee of Administrators (CoA).

“You are aware that Vinod Rai (CoA chief) has already mentioned that a review meeting will take place. This will have to be ascertained when the review takes place and it is important to get to the bottom of these rumours,” the functionary added.

Interestingly, the last time there was a meeting where the CoA members had met the senior players and coach - during the Test against West Indies - Kohli and Rohit’s difference of thought was visible when it came to resting players in the IPL keeping the World Cup in mind.

London, Jul 15 (IANS): Ever since India’s ouster in the semi-final of the 2019 World Cup, there have been a lot of talks about the areas where the team lacked and also how it was too reliant on the duo of skipper Virat Kohli and his deputy Rohit Sharma when it came to scoring runs.

While this has been an area that is also highlighted from the scoring charts of the World Cup, another factor that the BCCI is also keen to discuss is the idea of split captaincy.

A board functionary said that good teams start preparations immediately after one campaign ends and the biggest result of that is England winning the World Cup on Sunday. So, keeping an eye on the next campaign, India too could look at the option of having

New Delhi, Jul 15 (PTI): The Indian team for next month’s tour of West Indies will be announced on July 19 but there is no clarity over the future of Mahendra Singh Dhoni ahead of the limited-overs leg beginning August 3.

Dhoni’s future has been widely speculated ever since India lost to New Zealand in the World Cup semifinal on July 9. The 38-year-old is expected to make an announcement on it in the coming few days.

“The selectors will meet in Mumbai on July 19. We have not heard from Dhoni but what is relevant is the communication between the player and selectors. If you ask me, Dhoni did well in the Word Cup but he is his own man. Only he can decide whether he wants to carry on or not,” a BCCI official told PTI.

Signing Sane unlikely in this window: Bayern Munich, Jul 15 (Agencies): Bayer n Munich have accepted that a deal to sign Leroy Sane from Manchester City is unlikely to happen in this transfer window.

Sane will be part of the City squad travelling to Asia for their pre-season tour on Monday morning, and it is understood the club remain confident he wants to stay at the Etihad.

Bayern have publicly identified the German winger as their top target this summer.

However, for any deal to happen, Sane would have to tell City that he wants to leave - which he has not done - and sources at the club have told Sky Sports News that they believe he sees his future in Manchester.

It would also take a fee of more than £100m to meet his asking price, and it is understood that although Bayern want him, they accept a deal has become unlikely in this window.

Bayern will now turn their attention back to Chelsea’s Callum Hudson-Odoi and reported Arsenal target Yannick Carrasco, who currently plays in China for Dalian Yifang.

WC win an incredible journey: Morgan Lo n d o n, J u l 1 5 (IANS): The joy in skipper Eoin Morgan’s voice was understandable when he sat down to speak to the media after the nerve wrecking win over New Zealand in the final of the 2019 World Cup at Lord’s on Sunday.

Asked what the victory meant to the players, he said, “To me and to the team, and everybody who has been involved over the last four years, it means absolutely everything and the planning, the hard work, the dedication, the commitment and the little bit of luck today really did get us over the line.”

“It’s been an absolutely incredible journey to everybody around the country and around the world who has followed us and supported us, thank you so much. It’s been phenomenal.”

“Right from the very beginning of the tournament, all the way through, regardless of our performance, people believed because we believed and I’m very thankful for that and everybody is as well,” he said.

While many captains would want to already think of the next campaign, Morgan wants to sit down and relax, “I haven’t. We will let the dust settle, we’ll celebrate as hard as we can.

I think it’s deserved. And

LONDON, Jul 15 (Agencies): Czech Barbora Strycova completed a memorable Wimbledon as she partnered Hsieh Su-wei to the women’s doubles title on Sunday, beating Canada/China duo Gabriela Dabrowski and Xu Yifan 6-2 6-4.

After the spine-tingling drama of the earlier men’s singles final - the longest in the tournament’s history Strycova and her Taiwanese partner finally got on court to bring the curtain down on the fortnight with a straightforward victory.

“Oh my God, there is no word to describe the feeling,” said a beaming Strycova, who lost to Serena Williams in the women’s singles semi-finals.

They became the first team to lift the doubles crown at Wimbledon without dropping a set since Serena and Venus Williams in 2009. “I felt like this tour-

England clinched the trophy by virtue of hitting more boundaries, where the sides were tied on 241, with the Super Over stint also tied on 15 runs apiece.

Asked if he felt the

Super Over rules were fair, Williamson said, “I never thought I’d have to answer that question. While the emotions are raw, it’s pretty hard to swallow. Two teams have worked really hard to get to this moment in time.”

“So when two attempts

also involved another controversial moment, when Martin Guptill’s shy at the stumps deflected off Stokes’ bat for four byes.

Quizzed on that incident, Williamson said, “The rule has been there for a long time. I don’t think anything like that has ever happened. But you can’t look at that and think perhaps that decided the match.”

“There were so many other pieces to that game

that were so important. It was a pretty tough pill to swallow that. We were looking pretty likely with Trent bowling pretty well,” said the Kiwi skipper.

“Whether to laugh or cry, it’s your choice, isn’t it.

It’s not anger for us, a lot of disappointment, I suppose.

The guys are really feeling it. Today it ebbed and flowed but the guys stuck with it beautifully well. The rules are there I guess, aren’t they,” added Williamson.

Wimbledon: Strycova, Hsieh win doubles title

New Zealand skipper laments World Cup Super Over rule to separate them with a winner and a loser still didn’t perhaps shine, it just is what it is. The rules are there are the start. No-one probably thought we’d have to resort to that. But it was a great game of cricket.”

New Zealand matched that Super Over tally, meaning the destiny of the trophy was decided on boundary count, with England’s 26 trumping the Black Caps’ 17.

Many cricket fans and cricketers took to Twitter to slam the ICC for deciding the winner of the prestigious quadrennial event by the number of boundaries.

“Some rules in cricket definitely needs a serious look in,” tweeted Indian opener Rohit Sharma.

“Don’t understand how the game of such proportions, the CWC19Final, is finally decided on who scored the most boundaries. A ridiculous rule ICC. Should have been a tie. I want to congratulate both New Zealand and England on playing out a nail biting Final. Both winners imo (in my opinion),” tweeted former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir.

“Congratulations to England! Commiserations New Zealand. I’ve got to say that it’s a horrible way to decide the winner. This rule has to change,” said former Australian pacer Brett Lee. “Difficult to digest this more boundary rule. Something like sudden death-

continuous super overs till a result is a better solution. Understand, wanting a definite winner but sharing a trophy is better than deciding on more boundaries.

Very tough on New Zealand,” said Mohammad Kaif.

“Congrats England in their first World Cup win... unlucky New Zealand... the Laws or rules of the Tournament need to be looked at! It’s a WC Final!!! Another Super over at least!” said Dean Jones.

“I don’t agree with that rule! But rules are rules congratulations to England on finally winning the World Cup, my heart goes out for the kiwis they fought till the end. Great game an epic final!!!!” said Yuvraj Singh.

“I really don’t like the rule of the team scoring the maximum boundaries winning a tied match. It puts an accent on big hits and does not reward teams that run harder...,” said cricket expert Joy Bhattacharjya.

very different, but both of us handle stress differently.”

“She (Hsieh) is really calm person and I’m very emotional. But I keep (trying) to enjoy it with a smile.

That helps me also to relax on the court.”

Strycova, 33, had also become the oldest Wimbledon singles semi-final debu-

tant when she lost to Serena on Thursday.

It was great day for Taiwanese players with Latisha Chan teaming up with Croatian Ivan Dodig to win the mixed doubles, beating Latvian Jelena Ostapenko and 42-year-old Swede Robert Lindstedt 6-2 6-3 in the final.
