He referred to the May 2018 order passed by the Supreme Court to say “the order which your lordships passed on the first day, asking the Speaker to decide within a time frame”.

Speaker to decide on resignations by today: Singhvi told the bench that the Speaker would decide on both disqualification and resignation of the rebel MLAs by Wednesday. “How can the speaker be directed to decide in a particular

manner?” Singhvi asked the court. “Such orders are not passed even to a trial court,” he said. Karnataka chief minister Kumaraswamy’s counsel urged the court to exempt 15 legislators from appearing in the house on the basis of the whip of the coalition government. HDK to seek trust vote on July 18: Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy will seek a vote of confidence of the state Assembly on July 18, against the backdrop of 16 MLAs of the ruling Con-

gress and JD(S) tendering their resignation. “I have directed the chief minister to hold the floor test in the Assembly on Thursday (July 18),” Speaker K.R. Ramesh Kumar told reporters after a meeting of the Business Advisory Committee of the House here on Monday. There were also reports that the MLAs camping at a hotel in Mumbai may skip the confidence motion. The rebels are unlikely to fly to Bengaluru on Thursday when the Congress-JD(S) government faces the floor test, a source said.

Naga talks at advanced stage, Govt tells LS NEW DELHI, JUL 16 (PTI): Talks between NSCN (I-M) and the Central government are at an advanced stage, Union Minister of State for Home G Kishan Reddy said on Tuesday. Reddy also said any disclosure of the details of the negotiations will be premature and prejudicial to the final settlement. “Naga political negotiations are at an advanced stage,” he said replying a written question. A framework agreement was signed on August 3, 2015, by NSCN (I-M) general secretary Th. Muivah and the government Interlocutor, R.N. Ravi in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Replying to another question, Reddy said negotiations between the government of India and NSCNIM have been going on since 1997. “Significant progress has been made in these talks. Other Naga groups have also joined the peace process. Adequate care is being taken to protect the interest of all stakeholders including the neighbouring states in talks with Naga groups,” he said.

Govt assures NSPMSA to take up its grievances Correspondent

NSPMSA meeting today

KOHIMA, JUL 16 (NPN): State chief secretary Temjen Toy has assured representatives of the Nagaland State Planning Machinery Service Association (NSPMSA) that the government would take up their grievances at the earliest at the next cabinet meeting. Meantime, he appealed to NSPMSA to call off the 3-day pen down strike which took effect on Tuesday. The chief secretary gave the assurance in a letter released addressed to NPMSA president Imlikokba Longkumer. In the letter, the chief secretary stated that NSPMSA’s representation submitted to the State government on July 9 was under active consideration. In the letter, while requesting NSPMSA to call off its proposed strike, the chief secretary maintained that the grievances of the association had been taken into account and assured that the government would take all steps to ensure that service interest of the members were not put at a disadvantageous position.

Meanwhile, NSPMSA has convened an emergency meeting on July 17 (Wednesday) at 11 a.m. to decide on whether to call off the ongoing agitation. The association had announced the launch of its firstphase of the agitation in the form of pen down strike from Tuesday since there was no response from the government to the July 9 NSPMSA representation as the government. In the representation, NSPMSA has demanded removal/expunging the post of OSD (Skill Development) from the cadre post appearing in schedules I and II of the Nagaland Planning Machinery Service Rules, 2019. The NSPMSA had gone to court to challenge the 2017 cabinet decision by which the post of OSD(SD)was to be treated as a regular post in the rank and pay of Assistant Development Commissioner and to prepare a draft Service Rule of the department to facilitate eligibility for promotion of the OSD(SD).

The High Court had however, ruled that the post of OSD(SD) and Asst.Development Commissioner were “completely different, nor inter-transferrable and are not of the same cadre.” While not differing with the cabinet decision for equating status of OSD (Skill D)evelopment with Assisrtant Development Commissioner (ADC), the court however, termed the eligibility for promotion in advance of OSD as “illegal.” Further, the court had ruled that though the 3rd decision of the cabinet on framing draft service rules was in accordance with the law, however, this has to be “without any specific reference to the second decision of the Cabinet.” In the light of the court judgment, NSPMSA had submitted a representation to the government to remove the OSD (Skill Development) from Schedule I&II of the department service rules by July 12,2019. In view of the nonresponse, NSPMSA had decided to launch its agitation beginning with a 3-day pen down strike from July 16.

Oppn NPF legislature to abstain from attending meet on RIIN today DIMAPUR, JUL 16 (NPN): NPF Legislature Party (NPF-LP) has announced that it would abstain from the consultative meeting convened by the government Wednesday on Register of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland (RIIN) in view of the “indifferent attitude” of the People’s Democratic Alliance (PDA) government in dealing with sensitive issues such as- Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) and Register of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland. Disclosing this, NPF spokesperson Imkong L. Imchen said the NPF legislature deliberated on the July 15 bulletin issued by Nagaland Legislative Assembly (NLA) secretary K Sekhose inviting legislators to the consultative meeting on Wednesday at State Banquet Hall in Kohima on the proposed RIIN. Imchen stated that the NPF legislature took “umbrage at the propensity of the PDA government” to invite public organisations and civil societies for consultations after adopting resolutions and issuing

Over 45 lakh affected by flood in Assam; 17 dead

G U WA H AT I , J U L 1 6 (PTI): The flood situation in Assam turned critical on Tuesday with all 33 districts of the state coming under the grip of the deluge, which has so far claimed 17 lives and affected over 45 lakh people, officials said Tuesday. According to Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA), the Brahmaputra river and its tributaries are flowing above the danger level in most of the affected districts, including in Guwahati. More than 45 lakh people have been affected in 4,620 villages of the state, with 1,01,085 people taking refuge in 226 relief camps. As many as 562 distribution centres have been set up for providing relief to the affected people, it said. Besides, NDRF and SDRF, officials said Army, BSF have been helping in rescue operations .

notification(s). NPF termed this as an “irresponsible attitude” and a “sheer disregard and insult to the sentiments and opinions of the people.” The opposition party reiterated that enumeration process as prepared by the government cannot be accurate or wholly reliable without contribution from village councils and GBs of respective villages including the student community as opined by NPF party president Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu in his press release on July 15. The opposition NPF instead asked the ruling PDA government to “deliver on its promise to implement ILP in Dimapur district “instead of diverting the attention of the people with Register of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland”. In view of the above mentioned, NPF spokesperson said that the NPF legislature resolved to abstain from the consultative meet to be held on July 17, as the very purpose was defeated the same day the government notified that Register of Indigenous In-

habitants of Nagaland process would be undertaken and completed within three months. NPF was of the view that if the government was serious about consultation with public organisations and civil societies then it should “immediately cancel/revoke all notification/ orders for implementation and first issue invitation for a threadbare deliberation on the matter.” Otherwise, imkong L. Imchen said the NPF legislature will not be a party to “some damage control and image-saving exercise in the form of a consultative meet as was done in the case of Citizenship Amendment Bill”, where only , after three cabinet decisions, a consultative meeting was convened at Chümoukedima. NPF therefore, expressed deep disappointment with the treatment meted out to NPF by equating the party legislature and principal opposition in the state, to that of a civil society even in matters of utmost importance to the state.

Withdraw notification on RIIN: NMA DIMAPUR, JUL 16 (NPN): Naga Mothers’ Association (NMA) has expressed deep concern over the state government notification with regard to setting up Register of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland (RIIN) and demanded that government notification be withdrawn and public consultation be held without any preconditions recognising the rights of Indigenous people to determine what was best for the people. In a statement, NMA maintained that it had supported the stand of many other public organisations for extension of ILP to Dimapur to check illegal immigrants/migrants into the state. The Naga mothers, however, expressed surprise that while successive committees set up the state government recommended the extension of the ILP to Dimapur and foothill areas, the state government has not implemented those recommendations till date and instead issued a notification “for almost a census like exercise in the form of RIIN.” It stated that backlash of Assam’s NRC

needed to be taken into perspective so a larger awareness and public discourse and sensitisation were done before RIIN was undertaken. It also stressed the need to hold a larger discussion within the State Legislature as well as with various stakeholders before an immediate implementation of such massive exercise. NMA stated that they were equally concerned for the future and protection of the rights of younger generation, but not at the cost of stifling public discourse and consultations, which, it maintained, was the inherent right of Indigenous People of the state. Further, NMA has demanded the extension and implementation of the ILP at the earliest to Dimapur and foothill areas. NMA maintained that pressures from the Central Government for early implementation, be it in the form of NRC or RIIN, should not override the age old democratic process of consultations, both at the state and grassroots levels for such policies, in the interest of Indigenous People of the state.

Tokheho raises road issue in Parliament PSAN reiterates demand for setting up SSB DIMAPUR, JUL 16 (NPN): Lone Lok Sabha MP from Nagaland, Tokheho Yepthomi, Tuesday raised issue of several road projects that were being undertaken in the state and urged the government to look into the quality of the roads. MP raised the issue while participating in the budget discussion and voting on demands for grants on July 16, 2019. Tokheho lauded the initiative of former prime minister late Atal Bihari Vajpayee for the fourlane road between Dimapur and Kohima. He pointed out the work commenced 12 years after the commitment of the former prime minister in 2016 and a period of three years was given to the two contractors M/s RAMKYECI (JV) and M/s Gayatri Projects. MP brought to the notice of the house that there were potholes in three

of the four locations under M/s RAMKY-ECI (JV) where blacktopping was already done. In this regard, MP urged the Ministry of Highways and Road Transport (MoRTH) to look into the quality of the roads being constructed and direct the contractors follow the specifications of the Ministry. MP also urged MoRTH to provide funds for maintenance of NH-702, which has previously a defence road. Though NH-702 was an important road connecting Phek and Mokokchung districts, MP said the condition of the road was so deplorable that heavy vehicles could no more ply on that road due to non-maintenance. He suggested that instead of giving contractors a lump sum amount for maintenance of roads, the Ministry should provide funds according to the length of the road.

Further, MP urged the government to improve the road leading from Kohima to International Trade Centre at Avangkhu village under Meluri sub-division in keeping with the ‘Look East Policy’. He said that the road from Myanmar was nearing completion, but the road in Nagaland side leading to the Trade Centre has still not been taken up for improvement.

LS passes Road ministry demands

Lok Sabha Tuesday passed the demands for grants under Road Transport and Highways for 201920 by voice vote. Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari assured the Parliament that his ministry would continue giving a thrust to building world class transport infrastructure in the country.

Highlighting the achievements of his ministry in the last five years, Gadkari said that the budget allocation for his ministry has increased by about Rs 5000 crore. The Minister also reiterated the government’s resolve to provide special focus on road safety. Gadkari further informed the House that Rs 7000 crore has been sanctioned by ADB for adopting safety measures on highways. In this regard, he called upon all members to lend support to the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Bill 2019 in which stringent laws have been proposed for ensuring safety on roads. Gadkari further said, within four months, electronic toll collection process will be put on fast track and mandatory for easy passage of traffic, avoiding long queues in the toll plazas.

DIMAPUR, JUL 16 (NPN): Public Service Aspirants of Nagaland (PSAN) has reiterated its demand for setting up Staff Selection Board (SSB) for conducting a common yearly examination for recruitment to all posts that did not come under the purview of Nagaland Public Service Commission (NPSC). Mentioning that it had been pursuing the matter with the State government for the last three years, the body in a statement regretted that it had not found any takers till date. It claimed that numerous representations had been submitted to successive governments to set up SSB for free, fair and open recruitment and encourage meritocracy so as to instil a sense of competition among the educated youth of Nagaland. Pointing out that a bigger problem with numerous departmental exams being

conducted was that the aspiring candidates and their families had to bear huge financial burden, PSAN once again appealed to the PDA government under the leadership of Neiphiu Rio to pay heed to the hardships faced by thousands of educated youth of Nagaland and set up SSB at the earliest. According to PSAN, a candidate coming from a far-flung district had to spend a minimum of Rs 5,000 per exam in order to apply for and write the examinations, which usually took place in Kohima. This added to the physical, mental and financial burden on the already-beleaguered aspirants and their parents, it stressed. Meanwhile, PSAN said RTI queries in nine departments that conducted exams in 2018 have revealed that a total of 25,131 applications were received, out of which

14,847 candidates appeared in the examinations for 183 vacancies. It was also revealed that the nine departments had spent Rs 36,46,320 to conduct the departmental examinations. Further, examination fee of Rs 200 on an average was paid by each candidate in each department. PSAN said it could not file RTI queries in some departments due to nonavailability of concerned officials and various technical issues, adding the RTI replies revealed just the tip of the iceberg, viz. unemployment problem in Nagaland. While PSAN appreciated the departments for conducting the examinations to recruit new staff, it pointed out that departmental exams were usually marred by allegations of unfair practices and did not have the trust of aspiring candidates.

PM Modi irked by absent ministers

NEW DELHI, JUL 16 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday cautioned Union ministers against skipping their roster duties in Parliament and said that he should be given names of all absentee ministers the same evening, sources said. Modi’s displeasure over the issue of absence of ministers came at a BJP’s parliamentary party meeting, where he has in the past often pulled up MPs for absenteeism when it is in session. This is the second time in the month, Modi has expressed unhappiness over the issue of absence of lawmakers in Parliament. Opposition members have at times raised the issue of absence of ministers. BJP sources said there have been instances when Cabinet ministers or their deputies scheduled to be present in either Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha were absent. During the meeting, Modi also said the ongoing session can be extended, if required, to pass the government’s legislative agenda, sources added. Sources, however, stated that extension of the session, which is scheduled to end on July 26, is not on the government’s agenda as

of now. Asking ministers to stick to their roster duties, Modi said they should carry out their work as assigned. And that he should be given details of all the Union ministers who did not attend Parliament despite being asked to be present for the session same evening, sources said. In a briefing after the meeting, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi told reporters that Modi asked BJP MPs to nurse their constituencies by playing a leading role in its de-

velopment and advised them to take up a cause of human sensitivity like eradication of leprosy or tuberculosis and water conservation. First impression is often the last impression, Modi told the party MPs, a large number of them firsttimers, as he asked them to work passionately for the development of their areas. The Prime Minister also told parliamentarians that they should take up a social cause or an issue of human sensitivity as a “mission” apart from carrying out their duties as MPs so

FASTag for vehicles to be made mandatory in 4 months: Gadkari

New Delhi, Jul 16 (Agencies): Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday said FASTag for motor vehicles would be made mandatory for all in four months. Replying to a discussion on demands for grants for the road transport and highways ministry in the Budget, Gadkari said people had to pay toll if they wanted good roads. Making it clear that

the toll system was here to stay as the government did not have enough funds, Gadkari said the government built 40,000 kilometres of highway in the past five years. To ensure faster rollout of electronic toll collection across the country, FASTags would soon be available at petrol pumps and later these might be used as cards for buying petrol and paying park-

that they are remembered for their work. Modi also asked them to help in eradicating disease like leprosy and TB while referring to work done by Mahatma Gandhi in this area. Asked to inaugurate a hospital for lepers, Gandhi had said that he would rather be invited to put a lock on it, Modi noted. Joshi said the Prime Minister also noted that India has fixed a deadline of 2025 for eradicating TB against the global deadline of 2030.

Rajya Sabha passes AERA (Amendment) Bill NEW DELHI, JUL 16 (PTI): Rajya Sabha Tuesday passed a Bill allowing the Airports Economic Regulatory Authority of India (AERA) to bid out any new airport at a pre-determined tariff structure. Replying to the discussion on the Bill, Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said,”As many as 16 airports will be in the purview of AERA. All other airports continue to be looked after by the Civil Aviation Ministry.” Currently, major airports with an annual capacity to handle one-and-a-half million passengers come under the purview of Airports Economic Regulatory Authority of India (AERA). If the amendment is passed by Parliament, the definition of major airports would be changed to any aerodrome which has or is designated to have annual passenger capacity of threeand-a-half million. The Cabinet on June 24 had approved the Airports Economic Regulatory Authority (Amendment), Bill. The AERA is a regulator that has the powers to set the tariffs charged at airports. The Airports Econom-

ic Regulatory Authority of India (AERA) (Amendment) Bill was last approved by the Cabinet during the Modi government’s first tenure in December 2017. However, it could not be passed in last year’s Monsoon Session. As a new Lok Sabha has come in place now, the older Bill has lapsed and therefore, the Cabinet approved the bill again. About Members concerns about jobless employees of some of the private airlines closing down their operations in India, the minister said,”Government cannot assume responsibility of failure of business of private party...the case of Jet Airways is already there in National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) for resolution.” The minister also indicated that in in case there is no resolution of the case in the NCLT, then the government would look into it. He also assured the members that government is making efforts to see that jobless employees of the beleaguered airline get jobs in other airlines. He said that government has developed a portal to help those employees of the airline.

ing fees, Gadkari had earlier said while launching FASTag. FASTag, which is affixed on the windscreen of a vehicle, is a device that employs radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for making toll payments directly from the prepaid or savings account linked to it, enabling the commuter to drive through toll plazas without stopping for cash transactions.

ICC rule kills the game

f anything, the final of the ICC Cricket Cup 2019 was anything less than sensational and more controversial after both teams created a record for a tie after 50 overs and winner decided by the ‘Super Over’. New Zealand had scored 241 for 8 and in reply, England were all out for 241. This led to the final to be decided for the first time in the ‘Super Over’ where each team is to bowl out the two batsmen in one over. Interestingly, the Super Over between England and New Zealand also ended as a tie and England were crowned champions due to the higher count of boundaries hit by them during the final. The English were ‘gifted’ with one extra run by the umpires. Many cricketing experts question as to whether the umpires were right in awarding 6 runs for the overthrow when only 5 runs should have been awarded, as per International Cricket Council rules. The ICC rules evoked much controversy as questions were being asked as to whether England should have been awarded 5 instead of 6 runs for an overthrow in the final over of their 242-run chase. England were awarded 6 runs and the equation came down to 3 runs from 2 balls after an overthrow went to the boundary following a deflection from batsman Ben Stokes' bat. Stokes was trying to complete a double at the striker's end but before he could reach the crease, the ball ricocheted off his bat to the boundary 6 runs for England in a tense final over. The award of six runs instead of the correct five runs to Ben Stokes was an erroneous boon which should have never been done. Even former ICC elite panel umpire Simon Taufel said England should not have been awarded 6 runs for the overthrow by the on-field umpires. He maintained that the decision to award 6 runs for the controversial overthrow in the final over of England's chase against New Zealand in World Cup 2019 final is an "error in judgement". England won by default due to the ICC Rule which states that, in the event of the teams having the same score after super over (tied) has been completed, the team that hit the most number of sixes combined from its two innings in both the main match and the super over shall be the winner. While the runs scored off overthrows have been an integral part of many tense matches in history, the overthrows off the bat of Ben Stokes that went for boundary resulting in 6 runs would be talked for generations to come. The jury is still out if the umpires should have rewarded 5 runs or 6 for that fateful overthrow, it is time for the ICC to do away with this controversial law. ICC is facing a huge backlash for declaring England as the new World Champions on the basis on boundaries after the Super Over ended up in a tie. This rule appears to be ridiculous because it can be likened to a suggestion that, suppose a football match was tied even the tie breaker, then the team that scored first in regulation time would be the winner. Cricket experts and fans, however, believe the match didn't deserve a winner and the trophy should have been shared, and that deciding a winner based on the number of boundaries was absurd.

DailyDevotion The Concept of Divine Control

…how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! —Matthew 7:11 Jesus is laying down the rules of conduct in this passage for those people who have His Spirit. He urges us to keep our minds filled with the concept of God’s control over everything, which means that a disciple must maintain an attitude of perfect trust and an eagerness to ask and to seek. Fill your mind with the thought that God is there. And once your mind is truly filled with that thought, when you experience difficulties it will be as easy as breathing for you to remember, “My heavenly Father knows all about this!” This will be no effort at all, but will be a natural thing for you when difficulties and uncertainties arise. Before you formed this concept of divine control so powerfully in your mind, you used to go from person to person seeking help, but now you go to God about it. Jesus is laying down the rules of conduct for those people who have His Spirit, and it works on the following principle: God is my Father, He loves me, and I will never think of anything that He will forget, so why should I worry? Jesus said there are times when God cannot lift the darkness from you, but you should trust Him. At times God will appear like an unkind friend, but He is not; He will appear like an unnatural father, but He is not; He will appear like an unjust judge, but He is not. Keep the thought that the mind of God is behind all things strong and growing. Not even the smallest detail of life happens unless God’s will is behind it. Therefore, you can rest in perfect confidence in Him. Prayer is not only asking, but is an attitude of the mind which produces the atmosphere in which asking is perfectly natural. “Ask, and it will be given to you…” (Matthew 7:7).

Post-mortem

NVBDCP informs on The power of money in the 21st century Japanese Encephalitis

oney has been playing a primary role in different ages and periods of human existence as it represents the value of virtually everything under the sun. Money, in both paper and metal forms such as gold, silver, copper etc has been serving as the medium of exchange of services, goods, properties etc. These days, symbolic paper money is more in use, unlike ancient days when real gold and silver coins were in common use; and now, we start talking about and using digital money. In whatever form it may be, the importance and power of money have not diminished; it has rather increased and multiplied inordinately. It now seems to enjoy the status of being a little lower than God; in the heart and mind of many, it has virtually taken the place of the Almighty himself, but no one will accept such accusation. And the alarming development is the widening economic disparity that discriminate members of societies and countries all over the world. The pursuit of money and wealth makes people forget about many other equally important matters. Money plays primary role in family, religious, social, political activities and ambitions. The want/love of money is unlimited but making or earning it is the major source of struggles and conflicts. Money makes people love, hate, kill and save. Sometimes, it may even make people seem more loving, more religious, more sociable, and more sympathetic. However, it can also make people ruthless, indifferent and brutal. The power of money to influence human behaviour has increasingly become indescribable. The role of money in the society today is also getting even more complex. It can turn everything topsy-turvy. Huge amount of hate, jealousy in the society and family seem to have stemmed from this crazy little thing called money. Let us just try to study as to how many people around the world have been murdered for the sake of money. How the pursuit of easy money has led many on the road to ruin? How many once human have been turned into ruthless brutal beings? Money is the driving force behind almost all human activities. People belonging to different walks

of life – Rickshaw pullers, auto-drivers, teachers, doctors, engineers, bureaucrats, ministers, writers, musicians, sportspersons, clergy – are today working primarily for money as consumerism is reaching the sky and things are getting more advanced, faster, sophisticated and expensive; and the problem is, there is no limit to the amount of money that can satisfy a person. No matter how big the salary of a person may be, he or she may never say he’s getting too much. A person who gets twenty thousand envies another who gets forty thousand, the one who gets forty thousand envies another who gets eighty thousand and this goes on and on that someone who makes crores in a day wants to make even more money. Human greed has no limit and that is one big cause of so much sufferings and hardships in the world. The rich enjoy more and better opportunities than the poor. In other words, the richer one gets, the easier for him to get even richer. Likewise, the poor enjoy less opportunity to climb the economic ladder; they often slide down lower instead of climbing higher. It is, of course, true not everybody can be equally rich or poor, but availability or non-availability of good opportunities for working and earning money is one major factor that differentiates places as good or bad, favourable or unfavourable for survival, success and prosperity. We often hear people talk about so and so places in the world, where people can make their living more conveniently owing to the presence of better work opportunities, less corruption, more transparency, better work culture, better wages or salaries. In India, complaints galore about getting meagre salaries that do not at all match with the job or position that one holds. There also have been widespread cases of exploitation of the less educated, educated and highly educated youth all over the country, more particularly, in private sector institutions and companies, where the employees are underpaid just because they accept to work under such inescapable conditions, as they have no alternative means or opportunities. Strict legislations need to be made/introduced to see to it that there are no such un-

warranted and unjustifiable exploitations in this rapidly developing, highly ambitious country – the rich should not be allowed to exploit the poor and weak employees through work overload on the one hand and underpayment on the other. In other words, proper regulations need to be formulated and enforced with regard to both working conditions and salaries/wages to bring about a shining happy nation, and ameliorate and elevate the living condition of the people of this great nation. Undeniably, we are living in a globalised, privatised, corporate world, where intense cutthroat competitions are going on. In such economic set up, the rich try to become super-rich, the millionaires try to become billionaires and in the process, the economically vulnerable youth/people are victimised, subjected to exploitations. It is the responsibility of the government to ensure that such exploitations and manipulation of work conditions and salaries do not become a rampantly thriving culture. What use will it be if few hundred or thousand people are millionaires and billionaires, while teeming millions remain underpaid and utterly dissatisfied. Whenever there is pay hike of the government jobs, what we regularly experience is sudden skyrocketing of prices of goods and services. What the government can do in such situation is to fix minimum salaries to be paid in private sector too in accordance with the qualification or job condition of the employees. What I’m trying to say is that the government should carefully study, regulate, intervene and monitor the salary and wage structures of the private sector companies and institutions so as to bring about a society where there is better economic justice. A country cannot be considered as prosperous if a bunch of superrich individuals control its economy. In the long run, there will be much social upheavals, disorder and chaos. Here, I am not trying to accuse or criticise governments of the past or present; I am only trying to make my humble suggestion to bring about a different and happy nation. Day by day, it is becoming increasingly clear that the job market can no longer

be fully in the control of the government; it is seeping rapidly into the corporate world. Nevertheless, not everything can be handed over to the corporate world; the government has to continue to be the conscientious regulator of the employment system of the economy to maintain general satisfaction of the working population, which will go a long way in building a happy nation. The government needs to make serious study of micro and macro economy of the nation. It needs to conduct thorough surveys on how its economic organism is operating or functioning. As said at the outset, there is no limit to human wants and ambitions, but there has to be proper state regulation of how the wealth of the nation is judiciously distributed among its citizens. The giant economy cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of the few superrich who, with the means and power they have acquired, can suck up the blood of the nation. There has to be a curbing or regulating force; and that force should be the state/government. It is the dream and hope of the people that corruption will gradually diminish and transparency will grow brighter. Corruption, especially, in the government sector has to fade away so as to usher in a society that operates on the principles of sincerity, honesty, integrity, diligence, discipline, etc. This is the general hope that I hope will come true if the present government and the governments to come in the future are serious and sincere enough both inside and outside. India, indeed, is still not a fully developed but a rapidly developing nation and this process is going to continue for some more years. It needs to be ensured that this rapid process of all round development does not happen at the expense of the poor and helpless hundreds of millions; it should bring about welfare and happiness to the teeming millions. In other words, this rapid development process should never be allowed to victimise the helpless, the weak and the poor; it should rather bring about empowerment and elevation of the weak and the downtrodden.

n view of the recent occurrence of Japanese encephalitis (JE) in our neighbouring state Assam, the National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP), Nagaland, issues the following information to public: What is Japanese Encephalitis? • Japanese Encephalitis (JE) is a viral disease transmitted by Culex mosquitoes • JE is a disease which primarily affects central nervous system. • JE affects all age groups and especially children under 15 years of age. Signs and Symptoms • Headache, fever, disorientation, coma, tremors, paralysis and loss of coordination • It is associated with neurological complications leading to deaths Transmission of JE • JE is transmitted by the bite of infected mosquitoes. • JE virus remains in the water birds like pond herons and cattle egrets in nature. • Pigs play an important role in JE, as JE virus multiplies in pigs without suffering from disease and maintain the virus for a long time. • Mosquitoes while biting pigs pick up the infection easily and pass on to the man when it bites again. • JE is not transmitted from man to man like malaria and other vector borne diseases. Is there a vaccine for JE • Yes, vaccine is available for JE. • Government provides this vaccine for children in JE affected areas. How do we prevent JE? • The best way to prevent JE is through control of mosquito vectors. • Stagnant water bodies should be drained or filled up, and surroundings kept clean and dry. • Rice fields can cover wide areas and chemical control may not be feasible. In such situations, water management measures like alternate wetting and drying may be applied to reduce vector population. • During pre-monsoon when water bodies are confined to small ponds and tanks, vector control measures can be planned. • Personal protection through use of repellents and mosquito nets are effective control measures. • Introduce larvivorous fishes in the paddy fields and other stagnant bodies to eat up the mosquito larva. • Larvivorous fishes are available at Urban Malaria Scheme at Chief Medical Officer office, Dimapur. • It is discouraged to rear pigs near human dwellings as the virus gets multiplied and amplified in the pigs which can be transmitted to humans. • Spread of awareness is important for prevention and also to detect and treat patients early to increase chance of survival and reduce long term deficits after recovery. In case of any illness which resembles the symptoms of JE, visit your nearest health centre/district hospital for investigation and treatment of cases. Dr. I.

New nation-state formations as natural phenomena

ll human systems of government were created by people who had power and might— that is, people having information or knowledge as well as population strength so as to be able to get others to go along with them. These were the people who ruled. For example, this was how the Han Chinese and the Indo-Aryans ruled China and India respectively for thousands of years. Then, what about the ruled – those who were considered subjects? They simply had to adapt and go with the flow, because that is how humans usually behave. In other words, when people have lived under certain situations or systems of human government for a very long time, they eventually come to accept such a state as normal. For mation of new nation-states is natural for at least three reasons: First, different people groups living in their own assigned homeland as independent entities instead of all coming together under one big human government is God’s way of dealing with fallen humanity (Gen. 10 -11; Acts 17:26). Second, the natural process of evolution calls for it. As people progress, they naturally tend to move from their formerly primitive state to a more advanced state of living together. Third, every

people group has a deeply ingrained longing to control their own destiny. This is nature’s way-- just as birds of the same features like to flock together and therefore shouldn’t be forced to share space with all other animals in a common zoo. This explains why homogeneity of culture is a natural political bond for self-determination. For all these reasons, emergence of many nation-states is normal and natural. Historically, there have been four major periods of declaring independence: (1) beginning with the American Revolutionary War and the U.S. Declaration of Independence in 1776; (2) following the collapse of the Ottoman, AustroHungarian, Russian, and German empires in 1918; (3) the period from 1945 to 1979 after the European Colonial rule came to an end; and (4) in the 1990s, when the Soviet Union broke up. Though much could be learned from the stories of independent struggles which occurred in all these major periods, we will limit our discussion here to the last period, namely, the 1990s, when fourteen states became independent from the Soviet Union (USSR) in 1991. These are: Lithuania, Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, Estonia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova,

Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan. Why did these fourteen former states of the USSR declare their independence from the most dominant people group (ethnic Russians) after the collapse of the Soviet Union? Here’s what Raymond Taras, Ian Bremmer, and other political scholars have to say: For the Lithuania’ people, their deep desire for liberation from the Soviet center was grounded in their historic identity and their resentment against economic exploitation. Against this backdrop, they became the first to challenge Moscow directly declaring the independence of their republic. Likewise, an acute sense of economic exploitation propelled the Ukrainians to independence. In Belarus, their independence was given momentum by the republic’s economic development that promised rapid industrialization. In Latvia, the sense of being ruled by non-Latvians even within their own homeland ignited the desire for a full Latvian independence. For Estonia, it was the consciousness of their smallness and vulnerability that drove them to strive for independence. As for Azerbaijan, it was their deep longing to assert their own national identity and rediscover their rich past. The Armenian nationalism

can be traced to the Arminian communities of the diaspora, where a cultural renaissance began in the sixteenth century. In regard to Tajikistan, the call for freedom to practice their Islamic religion after decades of the Soviet suppression became a powerful drive for independence. In Turkmenistan, the Turkmen language became an instrument to catalyze a national identity and the call for independence; whereas in Kyrgyzstan, the fight for independence was triggered by demographic frustrations, declining status of the Kyrgyz language, and an increasing sense of economic problems. The people of Moldova declared their independence in 1991 but since that time it has been plagued by economic crisis, domestic political instability, and a nearly continuous separatist crisis. Other independent states such as Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan are “artificial constructs” in the sense that they have been very heavily influenced by and dependent on Moscow from the start. How long did all these Eastern European communities remain under the Soviet Union before they eventually asserted their own independence? Since the Soviet Union was created in 1922 and then the collapse of the Union occurred

in 1991, that means most of the minority people groups became compliant and habituated to the highly centralized Communist system under the Soviet Union for almost 70 years. But when that super-structure could no longer fairly deliver the goods to its member-states, the eyes of the minority groups were finally opened, who then, according to British scholar Anthony Smith, began to rediscover their long-suppressed identities and opted to assert their own independence in a world of free and equal nations. The realization of one’s rights for self-determination (as opposed to blindly living under the control of some dominant people groups) is, of course, rooted in knowledge. According to Ernest Gellner, one of the world’s

most famous scholars on nationalism, “genuine knowledge is egalitarian in that it allows no privileged source, testers, messengers of Truth. It tolerates no privileged and circumscribed data. The autonomy of knowledge is a leveler.” As such, any people group which has been enlightened becomes capable of deciding whether it is in their best interest to remain under some political union or to take the path of asserting independence. In light of these observations, we must conclude that no singular central authority has the moral right to impose its will upon any different people group. The decision whether to be part of a political union or not is the right of every community, big or small. Mazie Nakhro

Reader’s Post Sir,

New coat of paint

The old zebra lines drawn on the streets in Dimapur need fresh coat of paint and new ones drawn at strategic places. These lines are essential especially when old people and school children need to cross over to the other side. Once somebody is walking over the zebra line, the approaching vehicle slows down until the pedestrian walks past. While on this, one must also not forget to revamp the speed breakers which are already broken down or worn out in many places around Dimapur. Bendangkaba Ozukum, Circular Road, Dimapur.

MTLT plea to PDA for Tongpang Ozukum

Local SP leader shot dead

Delhi govt built 23 flyovers in 4.5 yrs: CM Kejriwal

DIMAPUR, JUL 16 (NPN): Mokokchung Town Lanur Telongjem(MTLT) has urged upon the PDA leadership to consider its “sincere appeal” to give an opportunity to “an upcoming leader” like Tongpang Ozukum to serve the people with an important portfolio, should there be a reshuffle of the PDA ministry. MTLT also acknowledged that it was the prerogative of the chief minister to effect any kind of changes in his ministry. MTLT in a statement issued by its media cell, pointed out that it was after many years that a “young capable minister in the person of Tongpang Ozukum” was made a minister of an important portfolio. Maintaining that it has no knowledge whether there would be any minor reshuffle in the PDA government, the MTLT, however, expressed belief that Ozukum should be given at least a few more time so his mettle could be tested to the fullest. MTLT hailed Ozukum for undertaking developmental activities carried out not only in Mokokchung district but also in different parts of the state during the

past one year. It said Ozukum’s achievements have also received appreciation from different quarters. MTLT also said Ozukum was one of the most enthusiastic ministers in the present PDA dispensation who tirelessly worked for the people and ensured that developmental activities in his ministry were executed attentively. Further, MTLT has appealed to the state chief minister Neiphiu Rio, PDA chairman Chingwang Konyak and BJP Nagaland unit president, Temjen Imna Along Longkumer to review the working of their esteemed colleagues - the ministers and advisors - and effect the changes so that the present trend of developmental activities initiated by the PDA government was not disrupted in any manner.

FAIZABAD (UP), JUL 16 (PTI): A local leader of the Samajwadi Party has been shot dead, police said Tuesday. Akhilesh Yadav (30), a resident of Kanakpur village in Maharajganj police station area, was shot at point blank range when he was working out at a gym near his house Monday evening, Faizabad SSP Ashish Tiwari said. He was the area president of Samajwadi Lohiya Vahini, the officer said. “Akhilesh Yadav was shot by one Aditya Singh. The duo had a dispute regarding the operation of a transport firm,” Tiwari said. “The accused Aditya Singh and his companions who assisted him in the murder are absconding,” the SSP said, adding efforts are on to arrest them.

NEW DELHI, JUL 16 (PTI): Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Tuesday inaugurated the 2.85 km signal-free new RTR Flyover, and said a few more such projects will come up in the national capital before the end of his government’s tenure. The elevated corridor of Rao Tula Ram Flyover, built at a cost of Rs 205 crore on the Outer Ring Road, will help decongest the area and prove a boon for people commuting towards the IGI airport from south Delhi and Noida. “In 15 years, the Sheila Dikshit government built 70 flyovers. In the last fourand-a-half years, our (AAP) government has built 23 flyovers,” Kejriwal said in his address after inaugurating the flyover. “We do our work, but we don’t advertise much.

Now, it is for the people to spread word about the work we have done in the last four-and-a-half years,” he said. Hitting out at his detractors, the AAP chief said after the inauguration of the Signature Bridge, a member of the opposition party had sought to take credit of that project. “We believe in doing our work and not indulging in dirty politics. The Delhi government has worked a lot in education, health and other sectors, and our work will speak,” he said. Interacting with reporters after the event, he said the AAP government not only worked on mega infrastructure projects but also built roads, sewage lines and provided other facilities in unauthorised colonies to reach out to the ordinary people. Asked if more projects were in the offing before

DIMAPUR, JUL 16 (NPN): The much-publicised Register of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland (RIIN) is likely to run into rough weather with several organisations now expressing their reservations on it. Latest to join the bandwagon is Nagaland Voluntary Consumers’ Organisation (NVCO), which on Tuesday appealed to the State government not to implement RIIN at this stage. Instead, the body called for giving priority in first checking the fake/false certificates of indigenous inhabitants of Nagaland already issued by competent authorities, allowed the present system of issuing indigenous inhabitant certificates, effectively implement and enforce Inner Line Regulation (ILR) of the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation (BEFR), 1873 in the entire State and protect rights of Naga indigenous inhabitants of Nagaland as provided under Article 371(A) of the Constitution of India. Pointing out that one of the provisions of Ar-

the end of his government’s tenure, Kejriwal said, “Yes, a few more such projects will come up soon.” The chief minister said the RTR Flyover was the 23rd flyover to be built by his government in the last four-and-a-half years. The newly-built flyover branches out of Munirka

ticle 371(A) was ownership of land, the organisation asserted that land within the territory of Nagaland should be owned by indigenous Nagas, and not by nonindigenous inhabitants. Declaring that the Nagas of Nagaland would never allow any agency or policy to dilute Article 371(A), NVCO said if the State government was really serious in protecting the rights of indigenous Naga inhabitants of Nagaland, then it should first effectively implement the existing laws and not jump by way of short cut like RIIN that would bring more problems and dilute the rights of indigenous Naga inhabitants of Nagaland. The organisation demanded that the State government must admit the fact that a lot of certificates of indigenous inhabitants of Nagaland had been issued wrongly. It cited a case where a young Muslim student of Dimapur, and whose parents were also Muslim, secured an ST certificate and certificate of Naga indigenous inhabitants of Na-

galand, before approaching the court seeking MBBS seat meant for indigenous Naga inhabitants of Nagaland. It further asked the government to admit that the State agencies had miserably failed in preventing the nonindigenous inhabitants of Nagaland from owning land in Nagaland, besides failing to implement ILR of BEFR, 1873 to such an extent that today the non-Nagas and illegal Bangladeshi immigrants almost controlled the markets in the State. Advocate and NVCO president Kezhokhoto Savi said when the International Day of World’s Indigenous People was celebrated on August 9 every year to recognise and protect rights of the indigenous people in the world, special provision provided to Naga indigenous inhabitants of Nagaland under Article 371 (A) of Indian constitution always found mention as nowhere in the world such special protection was given to indigenous people. This was stated in a press release by press & media cell of NVCO.

We are assuming that 10 to 12 families are still under the debris,” Mumbadevi MLA Amin Patel told reporters at the spot. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said the building was around 100 years old. It was not in the list of dilapidated buildings and was given to a developer for redevelopment. Between 10 to 15 families lived in the building, he said. Locals said the building belonged to the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA). However, Vinod Ghosalkar, chief of MHADA repair board, said the building did not belong to the housing body. Legislator Bhai Jagtap said residents had complained to housing authorities to take prompt measures

as the building was very old and in a dilapidated state for a long time. Some part of the building was left standing after the collapse. Fire brigade, Mumbai Police and civic officials rushed to the site but the constricted lanes made it difficult to access the area, reduced to a mass of rubble, twisted concrete and broken wires. Scores of locals joined in the effort, forming a human chain to help in removing the debris brick by brick and picking up slabs of concrete to locate those buried. Ambulances could not reach the site and had to be parked around 50 metres away. Mumbai Police Commissioner Sanjay Barve visited the site of the building collapse. The rescue work, which was hampered by narrow lanes, was further delayed as politicians, including ministers, legislators and leader of opposition, made a beeline to the building collapse site.

Similarly, in the services sector, India can provide huge technical expertise to British companies,” the minister said. Further he said if the spirit of research and innovation in British industry and academia is bound together with the strength of the skilled Indian work force, the two countries may become the preferred supplier for the rest of the world. Both countries have agreed to set up three new bilateral working groups to tackle barriers in specific sectors including food and drink, healthcare and data services.

Currently 100 per cent FDI is permitted in the sector with certain conditions, including 30 per cent mandatory local sourcing preferably from MSMEs. The minister also requested companies around the world to respect Indian sensitivities on restrictions of foreign investment in multi-brand retail. “Particularly, e-commerce companies coming to India will have to ensure that they stay within the letter and spirit of the law when it comes to multibrand retail and India’s policies around that,” he said.

Mumbai, Jul 16 (PTI): The rupee on Tuesday depreciated by 17 paise to close at 68.71 against the US dollar due to rising crude oil prices and foreign fund outflows. A strengthening US dollar against major currencies overseas also weighed on the rupee sentiment, forex traders said. However, sustained buying in the domestic equity market restricted the rupee’s fall, they added. At the interbank foreign exchange (forex) market, the domestic currency opened lower at 68.59 per dollar, and further lost ground to touch the day’s low of 69.76. The rupee finally settled at 68.71, down 17 paise over its previous close. The rupee had settled at 68.54 against the US dollar on Monday. The dollar index, which gauges the greenback’s strength against a basket of six major currencies, moved up by 0.31 per cent to 97.23.

During 2018-19, the maximum number of frauds, involving Rs 1 lakh and above, were reported by ICICI Bank at 374 followed by Kotak Mahindra Bank (338), HDFC Bank (273), State Bank of India (273), Axis Bank (195) and American Express Banking Corporation (190), the minister said further. “Comprehensive measures have been taken to prevent frauds including directions to banks to exam-

data sources for comprehensive due diligence across data sources have been put in place to check frauds. Strict monitoring in cases of high-value loans, deployment of specialised monitoring agencies for loans above Rs 250 crore and online end-to-end onetime settlements (OTSs) platforms have been set up to ensure timely and better realisation in such settlements have been effected. In reply to a separate question on defaults in loan of Rs 25 crore and more in PSBs, Minister of State for Finance Anurag Singh Thakur said that as on March 31, 2019, there were 1,938 unique borrowers with funded amount outstanding of more than Rs 25 crore who had defaulted on their loans (as per RBI data). However, he said the list of such borrowers cannot be made public as the RBI Act, 1934, prohibits from disclosing credit information.“Section 45E provides that credit information submitted by a bank shall be treated as confidential and not be published or otherwise disclosed,” Thakur said.

Establishment of the National Financial Reporting Authority, straightthrough processing between Core Banking System and SWIFT and instituting in PSBs the system of obtaining certified copies of passport of promoters/directors of companies availing of loans exceeding Rs 50 crore are the other measures. Sitharaman said the SCBs effected record recovery of Rs 4,01,424 crore over the last four financial years, including record recovery of Rs 1,56,746 crore during 2018-19 ( provisional data for 2018-19, as reported by RBI on July 9, 2019).

New Delhi, Jul 16 (PTI): Total bad loans of commercial banks declined by Rs 1.02 lakh crore to Rs 9.34 lakh crore in the 201819 fiscal on the back of steps taken by the government, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said Tuesday. The government has instituted a comprehensive 4R’s strategy for recognition of non-performing assets (NPAs) transparently, resolution and recovery of value from stressed assets, recapitalising of public sector banks (PSBs) and reforms in PSBs so as to reduce their bad loans, Sitharaman said in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha. Among others, change in credit culture with the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) fundamentally changing the creditor-borrower relationship, taking away control of defaulting companies, debarring wilful defaulters from taking part in resolution process as well as raising funds from markets are the steps that have been employed, the minister said. “Enabled by these steps, as per RBI data on global operations, the NPAs of scheduled com-

Sudan paramilitaries ‘torture’ civilian to death: Doctors

Khartoum, Jul 16 (AFP): Sudan’s feared paramilitaries have beaten and tortured to death a civilian in a town in war-torn Darfur, a doctors committee linked to the protest movement said Tuesday. The civilian died on Monday in El-Daen, in East Darfur state, after members of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) clashed with youths accused of stealing a mobile phone, the committee said on its Facebook page. “Members from Al-

Janjaweed (RSF) militia beat and tortured a number of youths... on allegations that the youths had stolen a mobile phone,” it said. “One youth passed away due to torture by AlJanjaweed,” it said, referring to the RSF which has its origins in the militia that fought ethnic African rebels in Darfur during a civil war that broke out in 2003. The doctors committee said a total of six civilians have died over the past three

days at the hands of the RSF, including four members of a family run over by a vehicle driven by an RSF unit in Omdurman, the twin city of Khartoum. The sixth person was killed by gunfire in El-Souki, in the southeastern state of Sinnar, as residents protested against the RSF, demanding they leave the town, according to the doctors committee and witnesses. “The continuation of the barbarity and tampering with civilian’s

safety daily by Janjaweed (RSF) militias, coupled with not holding them accountable under any law or code of ethics, prove that the Transitional Military Council protects these militias,” the committee said. It was not immediately possible to get a comment from the RSF. On Monday, scores of protesters demonstrated in some parts of the capital, including at night, against the killing of the civilian in El-Souki.

D e n pa s a r , J u l 1 6 (AFP): A strong earthquake struck off the Indonesian holiday island of Bali on Tuesday, the United States Geological Survey said, causing residents to flee their homes and damaging several buildings. The quake, which had a magnitude of 5.7, hit at 7.18 am local time and was centred 82.1 kilometres southwest of the island’s capital Denpasar, according to the USGS. The tremor, which was felt as far away as Banyuwangi on the neighbouring island of Java, struck relatively deep at 91 kilometres and no tsunami warning was issued. Residents of Bali described panic as the quake hit. “I was carrying my baby when I felt the jolt -- it was strong, I ran outside immediately and saw many people were already fleeing to the street,” Denpasar resident Komang Sudiani told AFP. Photos circulated by Indonesia’s disaster agency showed minor damage to shop fronts and temples on the predominantly Hindu island. “We have received reports of damage such as fallen roof tiles and broken glass in several houses and offices,” Rahmat Triyono, the head of the agency’s earthquake and tsunami division, said in a statement. More than 20 homes, schools, temples and offices were moderately damaged by the tremor, predominantly in Badung district, near the tourist hub of Kuta, Bali authorities said. No casualties have been reported in the disaster. Indonesia experiences frequent seismic and volcanic activity due to its position on the Pacific “Ring of Fire”, where tectonic plates collide.

Quake off Bali causes minor damage, panic

Dhaka, Jul 16 (IANS): More than 1 million people have been affected across Bangladesh due to floods caused by torrential rain in the country that has also led to major rivers flowing above the danger levels, the media reported on Tuesday. The waters have inundated and damaged homes, roads, educational institutions, and crop fields in 15 districts, bdnews24 reported citing disaster management officials as saying. Five children drowned in Kurigram and two in Jamalpur. The Flood Warning and Forecasting Centre of the Water Development Board warned that the levels of water in the Brahmaputra-Jamuna and Ganges-Padma rivers will rise in the next 72 hours. The flood situation is likely to worsen in Kurigram, Jamalpur, Gaibandha, Bogura, and Sirajganj while remain unchanged in Netrokona, Sunamganj and Sylhet, and improve in Lalmonirhat, Chattogram and Bandarban, the centre’s Executive Engineer Arifuzzaman Bhuiyan told bdnews24.

Tr u m p a l s o s a i d these progressive Democrats “came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe.” His tweets were considered by the Democrats as racists. On Monday Trump defended his tweets. “They hate our country. They hate it, I think, with a passion. Now, it’s possible I’m wrong. The voter will decide. But when I hear the way they talk about our country, when I hear the anti-Semitic language they use, when I hear the hatred they have for Israel, and the love they have for enemies like al Qaeda -- then you know what?” he asked. Later in the day Democrats introduced a resolution in the House of Representatives condemning the alleged racist tweets. The resolution by Congressman Tom Malinowski could be voted on as early as Tuesday.

for more than half (54 per cent) of new HIV infections globally. In 2018, key populations, including people who inject drugs, gay men and other men who have sex with men, transgender people, sex workers and prisoners, accounted for around 95 per cent of new HIV infections in eastern Europe and central Asia and in the Middle East and North Africa. However, the report showed that less than 50 per cent of key populations were reached with combination HIV prevention services in more than half of the countries that reported. This highlighted that key populations were still being marginalized and being left behind in the response to HIV. “We urgently need increased political leadership to end AIDS,” the report quoted Gunilla Carlsson, UNAIDS Executive Director, as saying, “This starts with investing adequately and smartly and by looking at what’s making some countries so successful. Ending AIDS is possible if we focus on people, not diseases, create road maps for the people and locations being left behind, and take a human rights-based approach to reach people most affected by HIV.”

Washington, Jul 16 (PTI): The Democratic party, which has a majority in the House of Representatives, introduced a resolution on Monday condemning the tweets of US President Donald Trump against four of their women lawmakers as “racist”. The opposition leaders and the president continued to clash over the issue that has caught the national attention for the past few days. “The Dems were trying to distance themselves from the four “progressives,” but now they are forced to embrace them. That means they are endorsing Socialism, hate of Israel and the USA! Not good for the Democrats” Trump said as he unleashed a series of tweets against four Democratic Congresswomen. Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley held a news conference at the Capitol to denounce a tweet by the president in which he apparently suggested that they leave. “This is a president who has overseen the most corrupt administration in our history,” Omar said.

Geneva, Jul 16 (IANS): The UNAIDS in its latest report issued on Tuesday said that globally, around 1.7 million people became newly infected with HIV in 2018, a 16 per cent decline since 2010, driven mostly by steady progress across most of eastern and southern Africa. UNAIDS’ Global AIDS Update showed that South Africa, for example, has made huge advances and has successfully reduced new HIV infections by more than 40 per cent and AIDSrelated deaths by around 40 per cent since 2010. The report also revealed that AIDS-related deaths continued to decline as access to treatment continues to expand and more progress is made in improving the delivery of HIV/ tuberculosis services. Since 2010, AIDS-related deaths have fallen by 33%, to 770 000 in 2018. However, there was still a long way to go in eastern and southern Africa, the region most affected by HIV, and there have been worrying increases in new infections in eastern Europe and central Asia (29 per cent), in the Middle East and North Africa (10 per cent) and in Latin America (7 per cent). The report also said that key populations and their sexual partners now account

ove laughing with tears of joy and blowing kisses with your emoticons? Well, so do most Indians on various social media platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook and dating apps, a new report said on Tuesday. The report by tech company Bobble AI, launched ahead of World Emoji Day on Wednesday, places the “tears of joy” and “blowing a kiss” emoji faces as the top two used in smartphone conversations. Other emojis in the top 10 for WhatsApp are: smiling face with heart eyes, kiss mark, OK hand, loudly crying face, beaming face with smiling eyes, thumbs-up, folded hands and smiling face with sunglasses. The emojis are almost similar for WhatsApp. The report said emoji usage is elevated considerably during festivals and national events. For online dating apps, a winking face and

a face savouring food are widely used as well. “Emojis used in conversations on dating apps tend to express joy, be more flirty and romantic. Clinking Beer Mugs, Couple With Heart and Kiss Mark,” the report claimed. For “sexting”, the top three are the tongue, fire and kiss emojis. “Emojis have wormed their way into our digital culture and our way of communicating with each other. The trend highlights a lot of positivity and var-

ied emotions like laughter, joy and romance,” Bobble AI co-founder Anit Prasad told IANS. According to the data gathered from the year 2018 till now, there has been approximately 36 per cent increase in emoji sharing across social media platforms via Bobble Indic keyboard. The app has registered more than 25 million users till date. Tier 2 and 3 cities make for Bobble’s 66 per cent user base and Tier 1 cities, 34 per cent. (IANS)

ctress Huma Qureshi has left for Los Angeles to start working on American filmmaker Zack Snyder’s Netflix original film, “Army Of The Dead”. “It’s a great opportunity for me to explore such varied genres. The idea of working with Zack is amazing considering his films in past, especially for audiences in India,” Huma said, of her upcoming zombie flick. “This genre is vastly unexplored for the Indian audiences. Right now is the time for successful experimentation. Actors are trying to do something they have never done before, which is extremely gratifying. “The team behind the film needs no introduction, and it’s truly an honour for me to be part of this special project,” said the actress, who will be in Los Angeles till September. “Army Of The Dead” follows a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas even as a man assembles a group of mercenaries to pull off the greatest heist ever. “Army Of The Dead” marks Snyder’s

return to the zombie genre, having previously made his directorial debut with “Dawn Of The Dead”. The film also stars Ella Purnell, Ana de la Reguera and Theo Rossi. Looking back at getting the role, Huma is surprised at how swiftly things have progressed for her. “I was in Los Angeles (in May) and I was there for other work. When I was asked to go for this audition, I said why not? This was on a Friday and they told me, ‘This is a film which is amazing, sounds very cool. It has Zack Snyder and it is something different’,” she said. “This happened on a Friday and I came back to India the next day. On Tuesday, they called me and offered me the film.

loyd Mayweather has said he would consider being enlisted as a promoter should the fight between Justin Bieber and Tom Cruise become a reality. The former world champion boxer addressed Bieber’s recent incongruous call for a scrap with Cruise at the UFC Octagon. Bieber’s bizarre challenge, which he later said was a joke, has since gathered steam as a potentially historic – and lucrative – sporting event. Speaking to TMZ, Mayweather said: “If they bring me in as a promoter, then I can talk about it. But until then, I gotta stay in my lane. Gotta stay in my business.” The move wouldn’t be totally out of step. In 2014, Mayweather invited Bieber to walk him to the

over the past few months, with Barca having publicly claimed the Brazilian forward wants to leave. His position within the PSG camp was not helped by his reference to Barca’s 6-1 ‘Remontada’ comeback win over the Parisians being his favourite moment as a player, while he also posted a cryptic message on Instagram containing an image of him in a Barcelona shirt.

I am blessed and I am aware of it,” said the 32-year-old. After Sunday’s win, Djokovic has moved closer to Federer’s men’s record of 20 major triumphs. Rafael Nadal, with 18, separates the pair. “Wimbledon, it has been a great pleasure to make history and share the court with legend of our sport once more. I will keep on dreaming to still be part of these memorable moments in the future. By the way, grass tasted like never before,” said Djokovic.

Arsenal open pre-season with win

Players of Arsenal and Colorado Rapids fight for the ball during their pre-season friendly match at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado.

COMMERCE CITY, Jul 16 (Agencies): Arsenal started their US pre-season tour with a win, as Gabriel Martinelli scored his first goal for the club and a young Gunners team beat MLS side Colorado Rapids 3-0 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Unai Emer y’s side took on the Stan Kroenke owned club who sit secondbottom of the MLS Western Conference, in a bid for fitness ahead of difficult pre-season games against Bayern Munich and Real

Madrid. Bukayo Saka opened the scoring with just 13 minutes on the clock, after he dinked his effort over goalkeeper Clint Irwin and the Colorado defence failed to stop the ball crossing the line. 1 8 - ye a r - o l d Ja m e s Olayinka got his first Arsenal goal just before the half hour mark, as he drove through midfield before curling home a superb strike, one that he will remember for a long time to come. Martinelli then got in

on the act to make it 3-0 and grab his first goal for the club since arriving from Ituano earlier this month. The Brazilian teenager showed why Unai Emery parted with £6 million to bring him to North London, brilliantly chesting home a Dominic Thompson cross. Fans were also rewarded with a glimpse of first-team stars Mesut Ozil, Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, as the trio came off the bench with 12 minutes left. The win means a suc-

cessful start to pre-season for Arsenal, who play Bayern Munich on Thursday. Olayinka was delighted to get his first goal for the club, saying, “I’ve been here for 12 years now, so to finally score for the first team is a great feeling.” “I’m sure everyone at home is happy and hopefully there are many more to come. I just picked the ball up on the edge of the area and when I looked up, I saw the keeper on the other side. I took a shot, made sure it was on target, and luckily it went in.” “I was actually on the floor when I kicked it, so when I looked up, it was just in time to see it hit the net. It’s a great feeling. I’m just happy I got the goal really,” he added. Emery was impressed with his young side, and urged them to continue impressing for more first-team opportunities. “Our idea is to give every young player chances to be with us, first in the training ground and after playing matches like today,” he said. “The idea is to give them more chances in other matches. They will win the possibility to be with us with their performances.”

BCCI invites application for coach’s job New Delhi, Jul 16 (IANS): The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday invited applications for the positions of head coach, batting coach, bowling coach, fielding coach, physio, strength and conditioning coach and administrative manager for the Indian team. Current head coach Ravi Shastri and his team will get an automatic entry into the recruitment process. “The interested candidates have to send in their application(s) on or before July 30, 2019, by 5 p.m. at recruitment@bcci. tv. Pertinent to note, that the decision of the BCCI for the said position, will remain final and binding,” the release from the BCCI said. It will be interesting to note that the last time, the deadline had to be extended as final choice, Shastri had not applied for the position till the deadline got over. In fact, it was believed that former India opener Virender Sehwag was among the most eligible candidates from the new set of applicants apart from then coach Anil Kumble. Like Shastri this time, Kumble had an auto entry into the process.

Inter to bid £60m plus bonuses for Lukaku Milan, Jul 16 (Agencies): Inter Milan are expected to make a new offer of £60m plus bonuses for Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku this week. The proposal, which Inter hope would be structured over two or three years, is for a permanent deal with bonuses designed to help the Serie A club get closer to United’s valuation. Last week, United told Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio that they want more than the £79m paid to Everton for the Belgian striker in 2017. The new offer is an improvement on Inter’s initial two-year loan request with instalments of £9m, £27m and £27m to be paid in consecutive years. Officials at the Italian club are mindful that the English transfer deadline is just over three weeks away and believe United will want time to sign a replacement. Lukaku is currently with United in Australia as they prepare to face Leeds United in a pre-season friendly. The Premier League side will face Inter in Singapore on Saturday.

India can become weightlifting powerhouse, says Kiren Rijiju

New Delhi, Jul 16 (PTI): Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju on Tuesday said India has the potential to give traditional weightlifting powerhouses such as China and North Korea a run for their money. India returned from the Commonwealth Championship in Apia, Samoa with a rich tally of 35 medals in the youth, junior and senior categories, breaking numerous national, Commonwealth, world and Asian records. The sports minister spent time talking to the 37-member contingent and congratulating them on their achievements. “Good performances in tournaments are good signs. India can become the

weightlifting powerhouse in the coming days,” Rijiju said. “We can have a very close competition with China and North Korea. India has the potential and I want that we should be at the top and get number of medals in the Olympics,” he added. India has traditionally been a frontrunner in the Commonwealth tournaments in weightlifting while country’s like China, South Korea and North Korea dominate the global events. However, recent results show that India is making steady progress in senior and junior categories led by former world champion Mirabai Chanu and Youth Olympics gold medallist

Jeremy Lalrinnunga, respectively. In the Asian Championships in April, Mirabai had missed out on a medal by whisker. The 25year-old had lifted 199kg (86kg+113kg) but lost out to China’s Zhang Rong, who also lifted the same total, owing to a lower clean and jerk result. “The main weightlifting challenge comes from the Asian countries. I feel we will win a medal in weightlifting at the Tokyo Olympics.” Lauding the efforts of the lifters, Rijiju said the government is keen on finding ways to enhance the performance of weightlifters with emphasis on the youth and junior categories.

NZ coach backs shared World Cup trophy

Lo n do n , J u l 1 6 (Agencies): New Zealand coach Gary Stead believes sharing the World Cup in the event of a tied final should be considered for future tournaments. The Kiwis missed out on the trophy in agonising fashion at Lord’s on Sunday. While Stead was as magnanimous in defeat as captain Kane Williamson had been on Sunday, he did question whether a tournament that spanned 46 days should be decided by such narrow parameters.

When asked whether the ICC should award both sides the crown in the event of a tie, Stead said, “I’m sure when they were writing the rules they never expected a World Cup final like that.” “I’m sure it’ll be reviewed. Perhaps when you play over a seven-week period and you can’t be separated on the final day then that is something that should be considered. But that’s one consideration over a whole lot of things that went on over the World Cup.” “It’s a very, very hollow feeling that you can play 100

overs and score the same amount of runs and still lose the game, but that’s the technicalities of sport...” New Zealand had some luck go against them, most notably when Martin Gup-

till’s throw at the stumps saw a diving Ben Stokes inadvertently deflect the ball away to the boundary via his bat. Six runs were added to the total, but former international umpire Simon Taufel said on Monday that England should have been awarded only five. A law in the MCC’s rulebook would seem to support Taufel’s view, but Stead added, “I didn’t actually know that. The umpires are there to rule and they’re human as well and, like players, sometimes errors are made.”

Everton sign Delph from Man City

Everton signed Fabian Delph on a three-year deal.

Lo n do n , J u l 1 6 (Agencies): Everton said on Monday that they have signed England midfielder Fabian Delph from Manchester City on a threeyear deal. Everton did not say how much they had paid for the 29-year-old England international, who joined City from Aston Villa in 2015. Delph played 89 games for City, winning two Premier League medals. He also has 20 England caps. “When I look to bring

a new player into our squad, the first thing I look for above all the other things is quality and Fabian is a player with high quality,” Everton manager Marco Silva told the club web site. “But what they can bring to our dressing room is also important.” The web site also quoted Delph. “Every time I have played against Everton, whether it was home or away, straight away the first thing that comes to mind when you see the fans is passion,” he said.
