LPG price hiked by Rs 2.71 per cylinder NEW DELHI, JUN 30 (PTI): Subsidized cooking gas price was hiked by Rs 2.71 per cylinder today as a result of tax impact of base price rising due to spurt in international rates and fall in rupee.

Subsidised LPG with effect from midnight tonight will cost Rs 493.55 in Delhi, a statement issued by IOC said. “The increase is mainly on account of GST on revised price of Domestic Non-Subsidised LPG,” the statement said.

“The balance Rs.52.79 (Rs.55.50 minus Rs.2.71) is being compensated to the customer by increase in subsidy transfer to their bank account. Accordingly, the subsidy transfer in customer’s bank account has been increased to Rs 257.74 per cylinder in July 2018 as against Rs 204.95 per cylinder in June 2018. Thus the domestic LPG customer is protected against the increase in international prices of LPG,” IOC stated.

ACAUT, PSAN react to ANSTA statement DIMAPUR, JUN 30 (NPN): Reacting to ANSTA seeking clarification on the writ petition, the ACAUT and PSAN Saturday said that W.P. (C) No. 145 (k)/17 was sub judice and asked ANSTA to seek clarification from the Court if needed be and not from them.

PSAN and ACAUT through their media cell stated that they filed the writ petition against illegal and rampant backdoor appointments to 706 posts that fell under the purview of NPSC. They said clarified that ad hoc teachers were not in any way impleaded in the case field by them.

Stating that the state government was the employer of ad hoc teachers and not ACAUT and PSAN, they said and it was proper to seek redressal from the government instead of raising questions against

ACAUT and PSAN for filing the writ petition, which needed no approval from any third party.

They also said recruitment of teachers was done by school education department with their own conditions of service. ACAUT and PSAN, therefore, said it was upto the department/aggrieved party to seek alternative legal remedy, if so desired, as per law instead of a third party unnecessarily targeting ACAUT and PSAN. ACAUT and PSAN claimed that certain individuals and officials were trying to make them a scapegoat in the current imbroglio for their own vested interests.

They also accused those individuals and officials of playing hide and seek with their employees despite there being remedial measures to tackle the issue, inside and outside the court.

Stupid remarks caused Tripura lynching: Sarkar

Agartala, Jun 30 (IANS): Irresponsible and baseless comments after the killing of a teenage boy fuelled a situation that resulted in the lynching of a few persons in Tripura, former Chief Minister and opposition leader Manik Sarkar said here.

“Irresponsible, baseless and foolish comments after killing of a minor boy in Mohanpur (in western Tripura) fuelled to such a situation resulting lynching of few people and injuring many in Tripura,” Sarkar said in a statement here late on Friday.

Without mentioning the name of any ministers and leaders of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Sarkar said, “Police and civil administrations should be more careful, vigilant and active to deal with the situation and to book the rumour mongers.”

A vendor from Uttar Pradesh, a musical instrument teacher, a vagabond woman and a mentally retarded woman were

lynched and at least 20 people including railway officials, workers and women were assaulted by mobs in different incidents in Tripura on Wednesday and Thursday.

Police arrested more than 20 people in connection with these incidents that took place in western and southern Tripura.

BJP blamed the CPI-M “for masterminding these incidents” while the Left party and the Congress accused the ruling party ministers and leaders “for spreading rumours after the killing of an 11-year-old boy in Mohanpur resulting in subsequent incidents of lynching.”

However, the ban on social media and mobile Internet continued for the third day on Saturday to prevent the spread of rumours in the state.

Law and Education Minister Ratan Lal Nath said that the CPI-M after losing power in the state is trying to create violence to put the BJP government in

an awkward position and to obtain political mileage.

Meanwhile, the CPI-M and Congress separately demanded high level probe into the violent incidents that took place over the past few days. “Education and Law Minister should resign or he should be removed from the cabinet for spreading rumours of kidney smuggling after the killing of an 11-year-old boy allegedly by two minors on Tuesday in Mohanpur,” said CPI-M central committee member Gautam Das. Tr i p u r a C o n g r e s s Vice President Tapas Dey and General Secretar y Harekrishna Bhowmik said that the party would soon approach acting Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi to take action against Deb and Nath “for spreading confusing information” after the Mohanpur killing.

Cong ress also demanded a judicial probe by a sitting High Court judge to probe the recent incidents of violence and lynching.

Special court summons Vijay Mallya on ED’s plea

Mumbai, Jun 30 (AGENCIES): A special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court in Mumbai on Saturday summoned beleaguered businessman Vijay Mallya to appear before it on August 27 on the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED’s) plea seeking action against him under the fugitive economic offenders ordinance in the over Rs 9,000 crore bank fraud case.

Special judge M.S. Azmi, dealing with the PMLA cases, issued the notice to Mallya after taking cognisance of the second ED charge sheet filed against him recently and a subsequent application by it on June 22 seeking a fugitive economic offenders tag.

This is the first time that action has been initiated under the ordinance, recently promulgated by the Modi government to deal with fugitive bank loan defaulters. The ED has also sought immediate confiscation of assets worth around Rs 12,500 crore of Mallya and other fugitive economic offenders. If Mallya does not appear before the court, he risks being declared a fugitive economic offender, besides properties linked to him being confiscated.

The court had issued

Karnataka to challenge CRMA formation in SC Bengaluru, Jun 30 (IANS): A miffed Karnataka would challenge the setting up of the Cauvery River Management Authority (CRMA) and Cauvery Water Regulation Committee (CWRC) by the Centre in the Supreme Court as they were formed without consulting the state, a senior minister said on Saturday.

“As the CWMA and CWRC were constituted without considering our state’s views, we have decided to challenge their notification in the Supreme Court,” Minister for Medium and Major Irrigation D.K. Shivakumar told reporters here after an all-party meeting on the politically sensitive issue.

The Union Water Resources Ministry on June 1 notified the Authority and the Committee as part of the scheme the apex court directed on May 18 for implementing the 2007 Cauvery Water Tribunal Award.

Though the Tribunal awarded the quantum of the river water to be shared among the four southern states -- Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry, the top court modified it when Karnataka and Tamil Nadu legally challenged it over the last decade.

Kerala bishop says nun targeting him for action taken Kottayam, Jun 30 (IANS): A Kerala bishop accused of repeatedly sexually abusing a Catholic nun has countered that the allegation was brought by the latter only to target him for taking action against her.

The Kottayam district police on Saturday launched investigations into both allegations.

The Catholic nun from here had alleged that her superior -- Franco Mulakkal, the Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Jalandhar, Punjab, had sexually abused her 14 times. But Mulakkal told the media on Saturday that trouble started in 2016 when he took up a complaint against her and took it to its logical conclusion.

Vijay Mallya (file)

n o n - b a i l a b l e wa r r a n t s against him in the two cases filed by the ED. Mallya, his now defunct venture Kingfisher Airlines Limited and others availed loans from various banks during the tenure of the United Progressive Alliance-I government and the outstanding amount, including interest, against him was Rs 9,990.07 crore at present, officials said.

Mallya recently said he had become the “poster boy” for bank defaults and a lightning rod for public anger. He said he had written letters to both the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister on April 15, 2016 to explain his side of the story. “No response was received from either of them,” Mallya, who is based in London, said in a

statement.

“I have been accused by politicians and the media alike of having stolen and run away with Rs 9,000 crore that was loaned to Kingfisher Airlines (KFA).

Some of the lending banks have also labelled me a wilful defaulter,” he said.

The ED has furnished evidences in its two charge sheets, filed under the PMLA in the past, to make a case for seeking a fugitive offender tag for Mallya from the court.

Mallya is contesting the money laundering charges in London after India initiated extradition proceedings against him to bring him back to the country.

Both the ED and the CBI have filed cases for alleged loan default against him. The Modi government brought the ordinance as “there have been instances of economic offenders fleeing the jurisdiction of Indian courts, anticipating the commencement, or during the pendency, of criminal proceedings”. The ordinance has provisions for special courts under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 to declare a person as a fugitive economic offender and order immediate confiscation of assets.

Striking teachers

revealing aspect of the clarification made by Advisor (School Education Department) on the ongoing agitation by All Nagaland Ad-Hoc Teachers’ Group( 2015 Batch) was that it opened a whole debate about the frequent agitations resorted to by government employees as well as NGOs. While issuing the clarification, Advisor(SED) K.Tokugha Sukhalu maintained that the striking teachers who were appointed on ad-hoc basis had “no cause” at all to take up agitation against the government. The striking teachers under ANATG are demanding regularisation of service but the government is being restrained by the High Court order issues in July 2017. The Advisor stated that the facts of the case which revealed that despite the government’s intention to regularise the services of the 1166 ad-hoc/contract employees by forming a Screening Committee to undertake Suitability Test,the Gauhati High Court issued a restraining order in July 2017. This meant that since then, the government cannot go ahead and conduct the Suitability Test against the court’s order. If that is the fact, then it leads to the obvious conclusion, that the agitation was like barking up the wrong tree. The Advisor also took a jibe at the agitating teachers by inferring that they were more bothered about participating in the agitation and least bothered about the ‘nil’ percentage result by government schools in the recent HSLC examination 2018 in which they were teaching. In other words, it was to mean that the teachers are supposed to be concerned about the career of their students instead of absenting from work to agitate over a ‘non issue’ since it is the court’s restrain order and not the government, which had prevented regularisation of their services. As things stand, the striking teachers under ANATG have resolved to press ahead till their demands are met. On the flip side, ANATG has blamed the government for its delay tactics by frequent changing of the rules of the game. For instance, ANATG claimed that when they were appointed as Graduate Teachers, Primary Teachers, Hindi Teachers, Drawing Teachers, Language Teachers, Lab Assistants and PETs, the conditions were they would have to undergo required professional training such as D.Ed and B. Ed within two years of service and then sit for Suitability Test after three years of service for regularisation. Based on the stated conditions, ANATG maintained that the teachers after having fulfilled the conditions, ought to have been regularised. However, ANATG pointed out even though teachers were appointed prior to December 31,2012 they were still being paid fixed amount ranging from Rs.6700 and Rs.8400 per month. ANATG also claimed that the process of regularisation was inordinately delayed on account of reviewing the cut-off eligibility date and then adding new ad-hoc teachers to the 2015 group. ANATG further claimed that the government delayed the process by issuing directive to have identification proof counter signed by the respective SDEO and DEO before submitting them to the department. ANATG also revealed that Suitability Test scheduled from May 20 to 23, 2017 was called off. The issue was also to be discussed by the cabinet on November 11,2017 but instead, the matter was deferred without further notice on November 13,2017. The issue hinges on the high court order and this has to be taken up with the court in order to resolve the issue once and for all.

DailyDevotion Do It Now! Agree with your adversary quickly…

—Matthew 5:25 In this verse, Jesus Christ laid down a very important principle by saying, “Do what you know you must do— now. Do it quickly. If you don’t, an inevitable process will begin to work ‘till you have paid the last penny’ (Matthew 5:26) in pain, agony, and distress.” God’s laws are unchangeable and there is no escape from them. The teachings of Jesus always penetrate right to the heart of our being.

Wanting to make sure that my adversary gives me all my rights is a natural thing. But Jesus says that it is a matter of inescapable and eternal importance to me that I pay my adversary what I owe him. From our Lord’s standpoint it doesn’t matter whether I am cheated or not, but what does matter is that I don’t cheat someone else. Am I insisting on having my own rights, or am I paying what I owe from Jesus Christ’s standpoint?

Do it quickly— bring yourself to judgment now.

In moral and spiritual matters, you must act immediately. If you don’t, the inevitable, relentless process will begin to work. God is determined to have His child as pure, clean, and white as driven snow, and as long as there is disobedience in any point of His teaching, He will allow His Spirit to use whatever process it may take to bring us to obedience. The fact that we insist on proving that we are right is almost always a clear indication that we have some point of disobedience. No wonder the Spirit of God so strongly urges us to stay steadfastly in the light! (see John 3:19-21).

Post-mortem

Basic fundamentals of land Lesson to be learned from Sikkim ownership in the context of Nagaland

A

small tiny mountainous landlocked state in the Himalayas is now a cent per cent organic state, the first ever to be achieved by any state in India. Almost 15 years ago, way back in 2003 ,the Pawan Chamling-led government decided to make Sikkim an organic farming state through a declaration in the legislative assembly.

Though being a landlocked state without any railway or air connectivity, Sikkim managed to achieve its mission it undertook overcoming all obstacles by the sheer grit of determination of the government, the people’s participation and their desire to live healthily. After the journey embarked, it was not without obstacles and unique challenges; but today Sikkim has set an example not only to the nation but to the whole world.

Why today organic food matters is because all our foods and almost every eatable item are now mixed with varieties of chemicals, or say harmful poisons causing diseases ranging from indigestion to food poisoning to even cancers. .

It is a good step that our Nagaland state government too has taken a plunge into this organic mission which ensures us a vision of light at the end of our gloomy long tunnel of toxic foods flooding all over our markets. The recent unearthing of formalin laced fishes in our state is just a tip of the iceberg.

The adverse effects of chemical fertilizers to soil, health and well-being of the people and environment had forced the state government to launch an organic movement in Sikkim. The state government’s initiatives had a ripple effect across India leading to organic farming gaining currency in other states. By engaging in organic farming as a ‘life saving’ profession, the state of Sikkim has sounded a clarion call so that a message goes across the world that organic way of life can undo damage done by consumption of chemical-laced food.

They have everything possible to sustain their organic revolution and pass on the initiatives to next generation of farming community. And this has earned the state applause from every corner.

Over the years around 75000 hectares of land in Sikkim has been converted into certified organic farms following the guidelines as prescribed by National Programme for Organic Production. However it had its share of struggle. Though Sikkimese farmers never depended on chemicals heavily

but there was the use of synthetic fertilizers. It was when the state banned its use that the farmers were compelled to go the organic way. After experiencing severe health and environmental problems due to the high usage of chemically intensive and conventional farming methods, the state gradually banned all chemical pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. The state made sure that laws were enforced strongly with fines and even jail terms for those breaking them. A seven year long plan was adopted to ban the use of chemical fertilizers. Since organic cultivation does not allow the use of chemical fertilizers, they were soon replaced by organic plant nutrients gradually. One remarkable aspect of the Sikkim government was in making its intent clear and taking the people on board. It even spread its campaign by why, how and what should be the steps to accomplish the mission. This subject was added even in the school curriculum. Training by organic experts on a war footing was initiated with building of proper infrastructures and mobilizing resources on a full scale. The state has banned even the use of plastic bags (one of the most toxic soil polluter) whereas our state is yet to see this in reality as most of the bans whatever the government imposes seem to be only in the papers but never in reality. And as the saying goes, luck favors those who struggle, this mission has improved the quality of the soil which further improves the standards of the crops produced there. Out of 1.24 million tonnes of organic production in the country around 80000 million is supplied by this tiny state of Sikkim alone.

This is indeed a big achievement. Other states like Kerala, Mizoram and Arunachal are on their way too to become an organic state emulating the Sikkim way. In a country like ours where banned pesticides in 67 countries are still in use any increase in organic farming will make a difference in aspects of health, longevity and the environment. Why organic farming is becoming very important is because everyone wants to live healthy and longer.

Now people all over the country and world seems to be asking ‘Will organic farming be possible and succeed in other countries too? When the demand becomes more, the supply too will become more and hence prices will go down so the worry of high cost of organic foods should

be left to rest.

The state government should introduce healthy and stable market system for the local farmers where their toil and sweat should not be allowed to go in vain unlike in the past where farmers cultivating ginger, cabbages etc. incurred heavy losses and all their products wasted without any prospective buyers. Sikkim government has set up organic retail stores in New Delhi and selling Sikkim’s organic products and due to the surge in demand for the Sikkim’s organic products farmers are now earning more than 20 percent than before. More stalls are also planned in other major cities by the government. An argument that organic products cost more has been replied by a market specialist saying when a whole state becomes hundred percent organic the cost, time and energy that are put into segregating, packaging, labeling and differential pricing are saved and therefore the price of everything organic falls.Thus everyone profits, both financially as well as health wise .Domestic revenue and health of the community thus takes a front seat.

Organic agriculture is important for our health and the future of our world for many reasons. It is needed to sustainably feed the world. It carries far fewer toxic pesticide residues and is grown using no GMOs. It doesn’t poison farmworkers or the micro-organisms living in the soil that produce healthy, drought-resistant crops.Organic farming is also better suited to climate change, protects biodiversity, enhances soil fertility, and, to top it off, organic foods are more nutritious and taste better.

But again the question such as without pesticides and other tools known for producing high-yield agriculture, would organic food really be able to produce enough food to feed people? Many studies from around the world show that organic farms can produce about as much if not more food than conventional farms.

It may take several seasons for farmers to learn the new ways and see success but as the soil and biodiversity recovers, the yields go up.Another question that props up is, could the best way to preserve our water supplies, be with organic farming?

Organic soil is better able to hold onto water because it uses organic material. Therefore, plants have more access to water, and they produce more food.

n simple words, government is not the land owner, government is only the record keeper. Individual/ Community is still the custodian of the land but the record/data of who owns which plot of land is to be registered and maintained by the Government/Village Council accurately and securely. Implementation of land record management system should not imply that the land owners are bound to pay tax.

A hypothetical case - Mr. Seve got a gift from his father Mr. Veta, a plot of land which he later sold to Mr. Huveto.

There has been 2 transactions on this plot land: 1st transaction - “GIFT” from Veta(Father) to Seve (Son) 2nd transaction - “SALE” from Seve to Huveto There has been 2 mutations (Mutation simply means change in the name of owner) on this plot of land: 1st mutation - Owner name changed from Veta to Seve 2nd mutation - Owner name changed from Seve to Huveto After 10 years, a third person appears, brings his own documents and claims that the land belongs to his grandfather and occupies the property saying that the transaction between Seve and Huveto is bogus.

These kind of disputes can always be resolved if the transactions such as the one between Seve and Huveto had been registered officially with the Government/Village Council. Resolving property ownership disputes is the primary objective of land record management system while the tax component is only a secondary objective which can even be excluded due to the super-cession of our customary laws.

Note that in Nagaland, those outside the municipal/town areas come under the Village Councils and the village council maintains these transactions in a manual register. The Village Council is paid a small registration fee to register this transaction (Sale, Gift, Partition etc) and the Village Council is the custodian of all these property records. Any dispute which may arise, the Village Council is bound to refer to its Records of Rights (ROR) and resolve the dispute.

All over the world, when it comes to holding Proof of Ownership of any property, we have two types of records: 1) Record of Rights (ROR) - A “Document” showing textual data of property owner, area, location etc (Patta, Jamabandi, Khata, Khataun etc) 2) Cadastral Map - A “Map” showing boundaries of land ownership, area etc And today, we have GIS technology which can be used to provide additional accurate data into the entire Land Record Management System.

At this age, today we are all headed towards becoming urbanized and modernized people living in highly populated towns with thousands of very unorganized and chaotic land

An earnest appeal to implement ILP in Dimapur

I

t is no doubt, Dimapur being a cosmopolitan City and one of the fastest developing city in India with close proximity of porous Bangladeshi border State neighbours like Assam faces a lot of challenges specially with constant migrant workers and business trade, we find a lots of recent criminal activities by the Illegal Bangladeshi Immigrants (IBI) crimes such as rapes, murders, robbery, assault cases that has gone up at an alarming rate. Nagaland was a peaceful place but with the increased influx of migrants the crime we seldom heard of has grown up dramatically. There is a dire need for immediate requirement from the authority to check and stop the increasing influx of this immigrants through proper checking system. It is let know to all the Citizen of Nagaland that TIN has done a poster campaign on 4th November 2017 to make aware of the IBI situation in Nagaland, productive work need to be done in Tackling it.

TIN primal request to the Govt. of Nagaland is to put an Inner Line Permit (ILP) within the Jurisdiction of Dimapur with immediate effect and set up the main office in Dimapur

and a Nodal Units in every District of the State. As reiterated by NTC for a revision on the NSTZ (Nagaland Special development Zone Bill) as it is effecting on the special protective laws of Nagaland such as Article 371a, BERF Act 1873(ILP), Nagaland Land Revenue Amendment Act 1978 and Citizenship Amendment Bill we strongly support them, TIN also request all Naga tribal Hohos, various other Naga Organization and Unions, Village council, Youth Organization, NGO’s till the grassroots level to jointly help each other in tackling this IBI menace and save our land and most important of all our Naga identity of Indigenousness that is truly unique and rich globally.

There is an influx of more Immigrants day by day due to the sheer negligence of the Government of our State and a tsunami is on the horizon just next door to us as we know, a trickle will soon become a flood and we have no proper check system to address that, this has become a major concern of every breathing Nagas.

More IBI will get into our state after the NRC Act final list which will be soon declared in Assam, the People of Na-

galand and the Nagaland Government need to act together now to check this problem before it’s too late or do we be lackadaisical and insensitive to blame each other later ?? If the Influx is not check then within a span of few years the population of Naga Locals here will become minority and the IBI population will be the majority in Dimapur like in Tripura. Dimapur being the Gateway of different District in Nagaland state and with the increasing influx of these IBIs the whole of the state will be affected too. There is a must for the government to implant ILP so the policy and law will be a weapon to defend our indigenous identity.

Lastly TIN ask all the Indigenous Nagas in Nagaland to jointly work in tackling this IBI menace by having the dignity to work harder and maintain the responsible culture like our forefather. The question is if we truly love our land and our people?? then nothing should be impossible to anyone, for God is with us if we are sincere but mere thoughts would lead us nowhere, high time for all of us to think and work on it.

God bless us all.

records which will become very risky, vulnerable to manipulation, forgery and even loss of highly critical records if they are burnt or misplaced.

As per Article 371A, no Act of Parliament can be used to govern Nagaland when it comes to the subject of customary laws without the assent of the State Legislature. It is important for us to maintain our customary laws but even the customary law which was enforced 200 years back was based on precedence and relevance to that era.

Today also, our customary law should be practiced based on precedence and relevance to our present era.

With rapid modernization, we must also adapt and ensure that critical records and information must be digitized. Cadastral survey should be allowed because the need has now come for us to ensure maintenance of high quality records and data without the apprehension of paying land revenue. We need not have to pay land revenue tax but we must ensure that the Govt and Village Councils maintain land record and data of the highest accuracy and quality. (Note that till today each village household pays ‘House tax’ (Not ‘Land tax’) to village council and each land owner in municipal area pays Land Revenue Tax (But not ‘House tax’) to DC Office and Jamabandi tax in Mouza areas of Dimapur generally of few hundred rupees in a year.)

The computerization and modernization of all Land Registration, Land Transaction, Record of Rights and fee payments to both DC Office and also the Village Councils must be effectively implemented, streamlined & made transparent so that the revenue and house tax which each villager pays to the Village Council and the property tax which each house owner in municipal area pays to DC Office must go towards spending in developing our towns and villages right from waste management to beautification, drainage, roads etc without giving public the doubt to raise questions on diversion or misuse of public funds for private gains.

Accurate, secure, robust and digital record/database of ownership, mutation, transfer, partition etc is primary and tax (Land revenue) issecondary for there are other means for generation of Government revenue such as commercial taxes where Dimapur Commerical Taxes (GST) alone collected a total revenue of Rs. 508 Crores during the period of 2017-18.

More business = Jobs in private sector + Tax (Government Revenue) should be the Government’s approach. But in order for our State to attract more investors and business, our Government and leaders should focus on drafting and notifying the Investment Policy and a Nagaland Single Window Investment Promotion & Facilitation Act, building top class infrastructure, Start-Up Policy and improve the ease of doing business.

When it comes to land records, government is not the owner, government is only the record keeper.

Sir,

Post-matric scholarship to theological students

The theological students from our neighbouring states are enjoying postmatric scholarship but why the theological students from Nagaland are not provided with the same, though the Nagas have the blessing of article 371(A) and so our state is called a state for Christ? How blatant and miserable our leaders are! They are always gullible to the idea of secularism in the wrong perception. We are already given the axe to grind but we ourselves deny our own right. What a loss it is!

Kudos to the write up of Yiepetso Wezah which appeared on 28.6.2018, in local dailies in defence of the theological students of Nagaland for not providing post-matric scholarship to them. I should say the writer may be a mere citizen of Pfutsero town, yet he outdid the workload of our seasoned theological leaders in our state as far as protecting and nurturing theological studies is concerned which is pursued by our young boys and girls at various theological institutions on line with the calling of the Nagas.

In fact, the supposed should be people are more or less remaining silent instead of voicing out against the proposition. The department of higher education and the state government were deceptively succumbed to the diktas of the anti-Christ perpetrators for which the theological students are denied with the facilities since 2015 onwards.

We should not undermine the perspective of theological studies in our land as highlighted because the Nagas are blessed immensely in a variety of ways due to the Good News brought to us by the American Missionaries.

Hence, the department of higher education and state government are hereby humbly solicited to take up the matter urgently with the concerned ministry to provide the same to the theological students at par with the secular students without further delay if the Nagas want our commitment to God be fulfilled.

May the write-up serve a wakeup call to all the responsible and concerned citizens to put our voice together to bring change in this regard.

Kashmir on flood alert; 3 dead

Kashmir Valley experienced rainfall over the past three days and the downpour intensified in many parts, including the summer capital of the state.

But the weather showed improvement later in the day in both regions of Jammu and Kashmir.

Intermittent rains since last night led to the flood alert in central Kashmir, but water levels had already started receding in the southern part of the Valley.

The authorities had yesterday issued a flood alert in south Kashmir.

Today, they put out an alert for low-lying areas in central Kashmir, including the summer capital Srinagar, and asked people to remain prepared for evacuation.

Schools across the Valley were closed today.

In the Jammu region,

three persons were killed and nearly a dozen houses damaged in rain-related mishaps since yesterday, officials said.

Harbans Lal (45) was washed away by a flash flood in a stream near his house in Natulphal village in Akhnoor sector this afternoon. A 22-year-old man, Anzar Ahmad, died in a similar case in the Surankote area of Poonch district yesterday.

A woman, Jameela, was killed when a tree fell on her shelter in Kishtwar district. On the Sringar-Jammu highway, Srinagar-bound vehicles were stopped at various places between Ramban

Kejriwal writes open letter to Delhiites on full-statehood demand letter posted by AAP on its official Twitter handle.

Kejriwal said the LG takes decision on issues related to the welfare of Delhiites despite the people electing a government that, he added, does not have any power which only implies that the value of the vote of Delhiites is “zero”.

This, he said, was a humiliation of Delhiites as they want CCTV cameras installed in the national capital. They want mohalla clinics, schools and ration but the LG will not allow all these happen, he said referring to the alleged roadblocks created by the LG office in implementing his government’s programmes.

Kejriwal alleged that even the British had not exploited the people of Delhi the way the central government was.

Every year, Rs 1,30 000 crore is being collected by the Centre from Delhiites as income tax, he said.

Jammu, Jun 30 (PTI): The crime branch of Jammu and Kashmir Police claimed today to have exposed a major scam at an IGNOU centre in Kathua district, where nearly 4,000 students were issued bogus degrees without appearing in examinations.

The scam at the Indira Gandhi National Open University centre was unearthed after the police received an input that a person - identified as Prashant Bandari - and his associates were involved in fraudulently conducting examinations and giving admissions to students at the centre established in Billawar town in 2014-15, a crime branch spokesman said.

“About 4,000 students have been shown taken admission through the centre and till date no examination has been conducted by this centre. The students enrolled through the centre have been shown appeared in examinations and degrees issued to them,” he said.

The centre runs two admission sessions - in January

and July - and two examinations sessions - in June and December - every year with enrolment of 800 to 1,200 students in each session, the spokesman said.

Citing the preliminary investigation, he said bogus attendance sheets and answer sheets were submitted to IGNOU using the centre codes of Katra, Kishtwar, Chatroo and Paddar.

He said thousands of rupees were collected from each candidate and the money was embezzled through bank accounts opened in the name of the chairman and a non-existent coordinator.

The honorarium of faculty members and counsellors was also swindled

by Bandari, his associate Bhopinder Gupta and others in connivance with a few IGNOU officials.

“In this scandal, officials of IGNOU and post offices are involved in preparing fake answer sheets at regional centres,” the spokesman said.

He said a case has been registered but no arrest has been made so far.

cent of the fee burden of students studying in professional courses and whose family income is less than Rs 8 lakh a year.

The scholarship money is directly transferred to the accounts of colleges where such students have taken admission.

The Director of Technical Education has been asked to take strict action against institutes taking excess fee from such students, the government had said earlier.

Bhopal, Jun 30 (PTI): Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia today sought separate CBI probes into the gang rape of a minor girl in Mandsaur and the burning alive of a Dalit farmer in Bhopal recently.

He alleged that the BJP government in Madhya Pradesh has failed to protect women and Dalits in the state.

“CBI inquiries should be carried out into the gang rape of the 8-year-old girl on June 26 in Mandsaur district and the burning alive of the Dalit farmer in Bhopal last week,” Scindia told reporters at a meet-the-press programme organised by the Central Press Club here.

The Guna MP also demanded strict action against the school where the rape victim studied, alleging the authorities there allowed the minor to walk out of school, after classes got over for the day, without the presence of

her parents or guardian.

Scindia said that schools must ensure that children are handed over to their parents once classes got over for the day.

The eight-year-old was abducted on June 26 from outside her school, while she was waiting for her parents to come and pick her up,

and was raped near Laxman Darwaja Road.

Scindia said that he had recently met the family of Dalit farmer Kishorilal Jatav (70), who was burnt alive on June 21 by three persons in Beresia tehsil near here for opposing the encroachment of his land.

He said that Jatav’s wife had told him that the tehsildar and area police inspector were allegedly trying to save the culprits and mounting pressure on her to change her statement given to the police.

“These two officials must be removed immediately from that area,” he said.

Referring to the Maratha reservation issue, the minister said the issue is pending before the court.

He expressed support for reservation for the Marathas in jobs and education and said the Maharashtra State Backward Class Commission is looking into the issue.

“The Backward Class Commission has started work on a sample survey (to determine whether the Marathas are eligible for quota). About two lakh applications have been received.

New Delhi, Jun 30 (PTI): External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj was again trolled on Twitter today and accused of appeasing Muslims.

Her husband Swaraj Kaushal tweeted a screenshot of a post by a Twitter user who asked him to “teach” the minister “not to do Muslim appeasement”.

Swaraj also retweeted some of the tweets by that person.This comes days after Swaraj was trolled and abused on Twitter over a controversy involving the issuance of passport to an interfaith couple.

A Passport Seva Kendra official, Vikas Mishra, in Lucknow was transferred after the interfaith couple alleged that he humiliated them when they went to the office with their passport applications recently.

According to the couple, Mishra asked the husband to convert to Hinduism and pulled up the wife for marrying a Muslim.

A section of social media had attacked Swaraj and the ministry for taking action against Mishra, claiming that he was just doing his duty.

Out of that amount, only Rs 325 crore is being invested to develop Delhi, he said and asked if the people of Delhi will continue to suffer and remain silent.

He urged the central government to return at least 30 per cent of the money so that his government can build houses for every Delhiite over the next five years.

He also asked for full statehood to Delhi so that 80 per cent reservation in jobs can be ensured to the young people.

Giving full statehood to Delhi will also help the AAP government in building new colleges and legalising unauthorised colonies, he said.

Also, he said, the police will come under the Delhi government, which will make them accountable and responsible to the city government.

He urged people to think about the future of their children and fight for their rights.

New Delhi, Jun 30 (PTI): Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today wrote an open letter to the people of Delhi, making a case for his demand for full-statehood status to the national capital, and urged the residents to fight for the future of their children.

His open letter comes a day before he is to address AAP workers at Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium on the issue. The Aam Aadmi Party chief returned to Delhi today after a 10-day naturopathy treatment at an institute in Bangalore.

Speaking on his government’s resolution adopted in the assembly seeking full statehood for Delhi, Kejriwal said both the BJP and Congress have “betrayed” the people of Delhi.

“Before elections, the parties in their manifestos would promise giving fullstatehood status to Delhi, but none have done anything in the past 20 years on the issue,” he said in the

Srinagar/Jammu, Jun 30 (PTI): Authorities today sounded a flood alert in central Kashmir even as three deaths were reported in rain-related mishaps in the Jammu region of the state.

Srinagar-bound traffic on the Jammu-Srinagar high was suspended due to the lurking threat of floods in the Valley, leaving hundreds of commuters stranded, officials said.

The Amarnath Yatra was halted again as both Pahalgam and Baltal routes were slippery because of the rain, a spokesperson of the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board said.

and Banihal around 2 pm as a precautionary measure, officials said.

The local administration was making arrangements to lodge passengers for the night at government buildings, including schools.

The Jammu-bound traffic was, however, allowed to proceed.

A fleet of vehicles, carrying over 2,000 Amarnath pilgrims, had also crossed the Jawahar tunnel around noon and reached the Pahalgam base camp, they said.

Jammu and Kashmir Governor N N Vohra reviewed the situation arising out of the increasing water levels of Jhelum and Tawi rivers, and other major streams, at a meeting this morning, a Raj Bhavan spokesperson said. He directed the administration to keep all the agencies concerned at a high level of preparedness to deal with any exigency.

Kashmir has experienced rainfall over the past three days and yesterday the downpour intensified in many parts, including Srinagar. The rising water levels triggered fears of a rerun in the Valley of the 2014 floods that caused widespread devastation and left over 300 people dead.

“GST will have a multiplier effect on the economy with benefits accruing to various sectors such as exporters, small traders and entrepreneurs, agriculture and industry, common consumers,” the ministry said.

Any new change is accompanied by difficulties and problems at the outset, it said. “A change as comprehensive as GST is bound to pose certain challenges not only for the government but also for business community, tax administration and even common citizens of the country,” the ministry added.

It said the introduction of e-way (electronic way) bill is a “monumental shift” from the earlier ‘Departmental Policing Model’ to a ‘Self-Declaration Model’.

New Delhi, Jun 30 (PTI): Gold fell by Rs 60 to Rs 31,420 per 10 gram at the bullion market Saturday on sluggish demand from local jewellers despite a firm trend overseas.

However, silver held steady at Rs 40,600 per kg on scattered enquiries from industrial units and coin makers. Marketmen attributed the fall in gold prices to muted demand from jewellers and retailers at domestic spot market, but a positive global trend capped the fall.

Globally, gold edged higher 0.35 per cent to USD 1,252.50 an ounce and silver by 0.72 per cent to USD 16.09 an ounce in New York in yesterday’s trade.

In the national capital, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per cent purity fell further by Rs 60 to Rs 31,420 and Rs 31,270 per 10 gram, respectively. The yellow metal had lost Rs 170 yesterday. Sovereign however remained unaltered at Rs 24,800 per piece of eight gram.

New Delhi, Jun 30 (Agencies): The government on Friday released the expenditure and revenue data for the first two months of fiscal 2019. The Union Finance Ministry released the break-up of income and expenditure for the months of April and May on its official twitter handle. The data reveals that the government received Rs. 1,27,461 crore (7.01%of corresponding BE 2018-19 of total receipts) up to May, 2018. The government’s revenue collection comprises Rs. 1,02,408 crore revenue from tax (net to Centre), Rs. 24,049 crore of non-tax revenue and Rs1,004 crore of non-debt capital receipts.

Non-debt capital receipts consist of recovery of loans (Rs. 570 crore) and disinvestment of public sector undertakings (PSUs) (to the tune of Rs. 434 crore).

The government further revealed that Rs. 1,11,578 crore has been transferred to state governments as devolution of share of taxes by the Centre up to May 30.

NEW DELHI, Jun 30 (PTI): The first year of GST has been an example to the world of the readiness of the taxpayers to be a partner in the unprecedented reform in Indian taxation, the finance ministry said Saturday.

The government will celebrate July 1, 2018, as ‘GST Day’ to mark the first anniversary of the new indirect tax regime. Goods and Services Tax (GST) was rolled out in the intervening night of June 30 and July 1, last year, in a ceremony held in the Central Hall of Parliament.

“Union Minister for Railways, Coal, Finance & Corporate Affairs Piyush Goyal will preside over as the Chief Guest of the event and Minister of State for Finance, Shri Shiv Pratap Shukla will be the Guest of Honour,” the finance ministry said in a statement.

GST subsumed over a dozen local levies and transformed India into “one nation, one Tax” and binds the country into an Economic Union, it added.

Related research from Barclays Corporate Banking released by DIT showed that 64 per cent of consumers in India, 57 per cent in China, and 48 per cent in the UAE said they were prepared to pay more for goods made in the UK, because they perceive the quality as higher.

“DIT had set up 14 trade working groups covering 21 countries to scope our future trade deals and strengthen commercial ties with key trading partners,” the UK’s trade department said. It added that the UK also remains a strong destination for investment, with nearly 76,000 new jobs created as a result of inward investment from foreign direct investment (FDI) projects in 2017-18, more than the previous year.

opportunities,” said Liam Fox, UK secretary of state for international trade.

“Far from the negative forecasts after the EU referendum, there is every reason to be optimistic. Our trade deficit narrowed and UK business is delivering for Britain and succeeding on the world stage. As an international economic department we are banging the drum for the growing demand for our goods and services,” he said.

The figures will bring some relief for Brexit-bound UK, which is keen to strike trade deals with countries outside the EU. Besides India, UK exports to China were up 15.3 per cent and Canada were up 12.7 per cent, much higher than to the EU at 10 per cent. The Department for International Trade (DIT) also highlighted that non-EU countries remain the main

“Increase in the amount of collections in category of personal income tax is also due to more people coming within the tax net,” he wrote. On the other hand, increase in corporate tax payment means India Inc is seeing increase in sales and expects profits to improve in the days to come.

It also means that Indians are spending more and consuming more goods and services than earlier. The government however has to give tax refunds to those who have paid excess tax in the previous years which will moderate the hike in advance tax payment to some extent. “After repayment of refunds due to some excess tax paid in earlier years, which are usually paid back in the first quarter, the net amount would be somewhat lesser. But if the same trend continues in the next three quarters, one expects a significant increase in the direct tax collection this year,” Jaitley further wrote in the blog.

London, Jun 30 (PTI): Britain’s goods and services exports to India have gone up by 31.8 per cent in the year to March 2018, according to latest trade figures released this week.

For the year ending March this year, the ONS data shows that exports of UK goods and services registered a 7.3 per cent hike to GBP 620.2 billion.

NEW DELHI, Jun 30 (Agencies): Indians have deposited 44 per cent higher advance personal income tax in the first quarter of 2018-19 (April-June) than they did in the same period last year, according to government data released on Friday. In the corporate tax front too, companies have paid 17 per cent higher advance tax this quarter than last year.

What has cheered the government is the over 40 per cent growth for the second year in a row on the personal tax front, while there are signs that the corporate sector is performing better with the growth rate more than doubling from 8 per cent in June 2017, despite the weak show put up by banks. What does the increase signify?

Increase in collection of personal income tax indicates more people are in the tax net than earlier. Finance minister Arun Jaitley seconded this view in a blog post published on Friday.

Syrian rebels in talks with Russia for southwest deal

Members of the Russian military police stand by as Syrian government soldiers inspect a tractor-pulled trailer arriving in a convoy carrying displaced people.

AMMAN/BEIRUT, Jun 30 (Agencies): Syrian rebels are negotiating with Russia to return state sovereignty in areas they control in the southwestern Deraa province, where the army has made rapid advances this month, insurgents said on Saturday.

Air raids continued overnight and on Saturday morning on rebel areas, a war monitor said, backing an offensive that the United Nations says has driven 160,000 people from their homes, threatening a humanitarian catastrophe.

State television reported another town had agreed to come back under state rule, raising the government’s flag from its buildings on Saturday.

Russia, the Syrian government’s strongest supporter, has supported army advances with air strikes since entering the war in 2015 and has played a role in mediating surrender deals.

Southwestern Syria is one of two remaining rebel strongholds, along with a region of the northwest, that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has sworn to recapture, along with territory held by U.S.-backed Kurdish forces in the northeast.

The army’s offensive there follows the capitulation of rebel enclaves near Homs and Damascus, including eastern Ghouta, which was recaptured after a scorched-earth assault that killed over a thousand civilians and laid waste to several towns.

Warfare in the southwest could risk further escalation because of its proximity to Israel. The Israelis have already targeted Iran-backed militia fighting on Assad’s side, which they has vowed to keep far from their country’s borders.

The government’s offensive so far has focused on Deraa province, which borders Jordan, but not

Quneitra province, which borders the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. The deal being discussed does not include Quneitra, the rebels said.

The entire southwest is part of a “de-escalation zone” agreed last year by Russia, the United States and Jordan. Despite Washington’s threats that it would respond to breaches of that arrangement, it has shown no sign of doing so, and the opposition’s top negotiator on Thursday accused it of having struck a “malicious deal” to stay silent.

Insurgent negotiators and a spokesman said a sixmember civilian and military committee of the southern rebels held a preliminary meeting along the administrative borders of neighboring Sweida province.

Will talk about Syria, Ukraine ‘N Korea making more nuclear bomb fuel’ and elections with Putin: Trump Washington, Jun 30 (PTI): US President Donald Trump has said he will talk about Syria, Ukraine, elections and other global issues when he meets his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Helsinki on July 16.

Trump and Putin will meet in the Finnish capital to mend the bilateral relations and discuss a range of national security issues, the White House and the Kremlin announced on Thursday.

“We’re going to be talking about Ukraine, we’re going to be talking about Syria, we’re going to be talking about elections. We don’t want anybody tampering with elections. We’ll be talking about world events,” Trump said yesterday.

“We’ll be talking about peace. We may even talk about saving millions of dollars on weapons...we are building a force like nobody’s ever seen before,” he told reporters when asked about his meeting with Putin next month.

This would be Trump’s first summit with Putin, even though the leaders have met twice in the last one and half year.

The announcement of the meeting had followed after President Putin met US National Security Adviser John Bolton, who was in Moscow this week to lay the groundwork for the summit.

“Perhaps the world can deescalate with China, Russia...may be the world can somewhat deescalate.

Donald Trump

That would not be a bad thing. But I think having a relationship with China, Russia...it’s a good thing,” Trump said.

Asked about lifting of sanctions on Russia, Trump appeared to be noncommittal.

“We’ll see what Russia does. We’re going to be talking to Russia about a lot of things. We’re going to be talking to them about Syria,” he said.

Responding to a question on NATO, Trump reiterated that other countries had to spend more.

“NATO is very interesting, we’ll see what happens there. Germany has to spend more money, Spain, France, it’s not fair what they’ve done to the United States,” he said, adding that the US is paying much more disproportionately to anyone else.

From the beginning of his presidential campaign, Trump has insisted that he wants a better relationship with Russia, asserting that it will be good for the US and for the world.

WASHINGTON, Jun 30 (Agencies): US intelligence agencies believe North Korea has increased production of fuel for nuclear weapons at multiple secret sites in recent months and may try to hide these while seeking concessions in nuclear talks with the United States, NBC News quoted US officials as saying.

In a report on Friday, the network said what it described as the latest US intelligence assessment appeared to go counter to sentiments expressed by President Donald Trump, who tweeted after an unprecedented June 12 summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un that “there is no longer a nuclear threat from North Korea.”

NBC quoted five unidentified US officials as saying that in recent months North Korea had stepped up production of enriched uranium for nuclear weapons, even as it engaged in diplomacy with the United States.

The network cited US officials as saying that the intelligence assessment concludes that North Korea has

more than one secret nuclear site in addition to its known nuclear fuel production facility at Yongbyon.

“There is absolutely unequivocal evidence that they are trying to deceive the US,” NBC quoted one official as saying.

The CIA declined to comment on the NBC report. The State Department said it could not confirm it and did not comment on matters of intelligence.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

The NBC report raises further questions about North Korea’s readiness to enter serious negotiations about giving up a weapons program that now threatens the United States, in spite of Trump’s enthusiastic portrayal of the summit outcome.

NBC quoted one senior US intelligence official as saying that North Korea’s decision ahead of the summit to suspend nuclear and missile tests was unexpected and the fact that the two sides were talking was a positive step.

However, he added: “Work is ongoing to deceive

us on the number of facilities, the number of weapons, the number of missiles ...

We are watching closely.”

Jeffrey Lewis, director of the East Asia Nonproliferation Program at California’s Middlebury Institute of International Studies, said there were two “bombshells” in the NBC report.

He said it had long been understood that North Korea had at least one undeclared facility to enrich nuclear fuel aside from Yongbyon.

Lewis said the report also implied that US intelligence had reporting to suggest North Korea did not intend to disclose one or more of the enrichment sites.

“Together, these two things would imply that North Korea intended to disclose some sites as part of the denuclearization process, while retaining others,” he said.

North Korea agreed at the summit to “work toward denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula,” but the joint statement signed

by Kim and Trump gave no details on how or when Pyongyang might surrender its nuclear weapons.

Mumbai’s Victorian Gothic and Art Deco on UNESCO Heritage list

T

he famed ‘art district of south Mumbai’ comprising Victorian Gothic and Art Deco Ensembles has been named as the latest entrant to the coveted World Heritage sites list, said an announcement

by Unesco on Saturday.

The decision came on Saturday morning at the ongoing 42nd session of Unesco World Heritage Committee, from June 24July 4, currently underway in Bahrain.

“Just inscribed as @ UNESCO #World Heritage Site: Victorian Gothic and Art Deco Ensembles of Mumbai, India. Congratulations,” a UNESCO tweet said.

Maharashtra government had first submitted its formal nomination proposal for the UNESCO honour in 2012 for the ‘Victorian Gothic and Art Deco Ensemble of Mumbai’, but it was edged out by other major Indian landmarks.

It was supported by the Centre, the BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation,

Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority, several NGOs and art bodies, besides the Mumbai Heritage Conservation Committee.

The landmark cricketing ground, Oval Maidan and its neighbourhood are replete with two unique genres of architecture standing cheek-by-jowl, the 19th century Victorian Gothic and 20th century Art Deco style buildings, forming a distinct urban scenario.

Among the Victorian styles are iconic buildings like the Bombay High Court, University of Mumbai, the Maharashtra Police Headquarters building, ranked among the finest in the world.

Most of these buildings in stone were constructed during the late 19th century after demolishing the crumbling walls of the old Bombay Fort, and designed by masters like Sir Gilbert Scott, James Trubshaw and Lt. Col. James Fuller.

The later Art Deco

development in the 20th century, comprising over 125 buildings, was planned as per the designs of W. R. Davidge in the 1920s onwards, making it the second largest ensemble of such buildings in the world.

Significantly, it also symbolised the growing affluence and commercial importance of (then) Bombay, which was taking its baby steps to gigantic strides and emerge as the country’s financial capital after five decades.

Some of the prominent Art Deco structures that stand majestically include the Regal Cinema, Rajab Mahal, India Assurance Building, New Empire Cinema, Fairlawns building, Eros Cinema, several residential buildings on Marine Drive, and a few even in the northern parts of the island city.

However, no other city in the world has such a large ensemble emblematic of the 19th and 20th century architectural styles, literally facing each other over a small geographical area of urban design.

With the latest addition, Mumbai region now has three World Heritage Sites, including two bang in the city with the other being the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, the Central Railway headquarters.

The other is on the outskirts of Mumbai is the picturesque Elephanta Caves in adjoining Raigad district, with beautiful rock cut images of Lord Shiva and a few Buddhist mounds, making it a global tourist attraction.

Ed Sheeran’s chapel plans rejected by local council

E

d Sheeran’s plans to build a ‘Saxon chapel’ in his estate have been blocked by local residents, who don’t want there to be two churches in the village.

Back in March it was revealed that after popping the question to his long-time girlfriend, Sheeran was planning to build a chapel on his East Anglia estate. As the Belfast Telegraph reported, Sheeran proposed to his girlfriend Cherry Seaborn in January,submitte d a planning application for a chapel to Suffolk Coastal District Council. Now, it’s been revealed that the construction of Sheeran’s chapel has been blocked by the local council, who stated that it would create a “jarring anomaly in the landscape”.

“By opting for a clearly Christian style place of worship this application, rather than being sympathetic to landscape character, creates a jarring anomaly in the landscape, in that it would create a second place of worship in the same view as the existing village church,” says the local council’s report.“This would never be seen in the Suffolk landscape.”

The report also said there were “too many contradictions” in Sheeran’s application, with the planned ‘fake ruines’ appearing “as a conceit and detract from the authenticity of the building”, while the design “cannot quite decide if it is a whimsical folly or a serious facsimile”.

Bill Maher, Ben Shapiro spar over civility

BO “Real Time” host Bill Maher opened up a discussion on civility in a politically charged America with Daily Wire editor-in-chief Ben Shapiro on Friday night’s episode.

When liberal Maher questioned President Donald Trump’s level of civility, citing remarks about locking up Hillary Clinton, James Comey and journalists, conservative Shapiro countered that liberals seemed to care about civil behavior only “when it comes to Donald Trump.”

“This stuff pre-existed Donald Trump,” Shapiro argued.

Kuala Lumpur, Jun 30 (PTI): India’s top shuttlers P V Sindhu and Kidambi Srikanth went down fighting in their respective women’s and men’s singles semifinals to draw the curtains on the team’s campaign at the USD 700,000 Malaysia Open Super World Tour 750 tournament here Saturday.

First, Srikanth failed to match the overall superior game of former world no 2 Japanese Kento Momota, who has been in sensational form since making a comeback after serving a one year ban for illegal gambling.

same fate, against defending champion and world no 1 Tai Tzu Ying, who showed better technical acumen and physical ability.

Srikanth, who had reached world no 1 briefly in April, lost 13-21 13-21 to world no 11 Momota, who registered his 21st consecutive win, while Sindhu’s fight ended with a 15-21 2119 11-21 loss to the Chinese Taipei player in a 55-minute match. It was Srikanth’s sixth defeat to Momota in nine meetings, while Sindhu has now lost nine times to Tai Tzu, this being her fifth successive reverse. Tai Tzu moved swiftly on court,

switched from attack to defence, played some creative strokes to eventually outwit Sindhu.

Sindhu and Tai played some high quality rallies, which were laced with drop shots and tight net strokes.

The duo moved together initially before Tai Tzu opened up a 9-6 lead.

Sindhu reduced the deficit but in the end, Tai Tzu led 11-9 when she punched one precisely at the back line.

Tai Tzu looked supremely fit, extremely confident and played quick drops, smashes and also tried out some ambitious strokes to move to game

Former Olympic champ Ohuruogu retires London, Jun 30 (IANS): Christine Ohuruogu, Great Britain’s former Olympic and world 400m champion, retired on Saturday at the age of 34.

Ohuruogu won 400m gold at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing a year after becoming world champion in Osaka.

Ohuruogu bagged silver at the London Olympics in 2012 before regaining her world title in Moscow in 2013.

“Today is the start of the British Championships and as I won’t be competing, I feel it is a good time to announce my retirement,” she was quoted as saying

by BBC. “I didn’t feel ready to retire after last

After the change of sides, Sindhu managed to zoom to a 5-0 lead. However, Tai Tzu drew parity at 9-9 before leading 11-10 at the break. Sindhu kept breathing down her opponent’s neck and led 18-16 with four straight points.

However, Ta i Tzu again erased the deficit and moved to a minor 19-18 lead when Sindhu went long.

But the Indian grabbed a game point when Tai Tzu went wide. A similar error and Sindhu had bounced back into the contest. In the decider, the duo split the first eight points. But Tai Tzu again marched ahead to 10-6 before a lucky net chord handed the lead to the Chinese Taipei shuttler.

After the final change in sides, Tai Tzu played some perfectly timed shots at the backline to race to a 16-8 advantage. Tai Tzu simply toyed with Sindhu as the Indian made judgement errors and missed the lines, sandwiched with some brilliant returns. Two weak returns from Sindhu ensured Tai Tzu reached her fourth final at the Malaysia Open.

Injured Bumrah out of Eng T20I, ODI series

NEW DELHI, Jun 30 (Agencies): India’s premier fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah would be missing the forthcoming ODI and T20 series against England after fracturing his finger.

According to top sources in the Indian team management, Bumrah was injured during the T20 series in Ireland that got over on Friday. Bumrah will be returning home, hoping to be fit for the five-match Test series that starts in Birmingham on August 1.

Bumrah’s injury will be a blow for the Indian team - considering his form and accuracy in shorter formats of the game. “But he was very good in the Tests in South Africa as well and team management will hope that he gets fit in time for the Test series against England. It’s a big blow for India. Hope his replacement will do a good job of it,” a source in the know of things told TOI on Saturday.

India will play three T20Is and three ODIs in England and the team management is looking at the series as a preparation for the 50-over World Cup which will also take place in England next year.

understands the ‘bigger France in QF after beating Argentina 4-3 Kane picture,’ says Southgate

France players celebrate after winning the round of 16 match against Argentina on Saturday. (AP/PTI)

Messi, still without a knockout goal at a World Cup, had earned a free-kick chance just three minutes in but it came to nothing and when Mbappe was felled at the other end, Griezmann curled his dead-ball effort against the crossbar.

Griezmann would soon go one better from the spot, sending Franco Armani the wrong way with a low strike, but the opportunity came from Mbappe’s explosive run near the edge of his own area, the teenager rounding Marcos Rojo with one final, fearless touch before being

shoved to the turf.

The impressive Paul Pogba found him again with a raking ball over the top as France threatened with each break against an Argentina side that dominated the ball to little effect, Messi forced to drop deep.

Sampaoli’s side had not had a shot on target but when one came, it took the breath, Di Maria taking a square pass, nudging the ball onto his left foot and whipping into the top corner as a watching Diego Maradona punched the air.

Momentum had sud-

S Korean team bombarded with eggs

Dele Alli fit to face Colombia

Kazan, jun 30 (Agencies): Kylian Mbappe overshadowed Lionel Messi as France stormed into the World Cup quarter-finals after a thrilling 4-3 win over Argentina in Kazan.

The Paris Saint-Germain teenager won a 13thminute penalty for Antoine Griezmann with a storming 75-yard run and scored two goals in five minutes (64, 68) after the break as Didier Deschamps’ side overcame the setback of going behind to claim a convincing victory.

Argentina had hit back through a 30-yard Angel

di Maria strike (41) and a fortuitous flick from Gabriel Mercado three minutes after the restart but they were outplayed for prolonged periods in a game that could be Messi’s last on the global stage.

Benjamin Pavard’s 57th-minute half-volley - his first France goal - sparked the second-half surge and though substitute Sergio Aguero threatened a late twist with an injury-time header, Mbappe’s double proved decisive and set up a last-eight tie against Portugal or Uruguay.

South Korea players were pelted with cushions and eggs.

I n c h e o n, J u n 3 0 (Agencies): Son Heung-min and his South Korean team-mates were pelted with eggs and Union Jack cushions after arriving home from the World Cup. Shin Tae-yong and his team posed for photographs after arriving at the Incheon International Airport on Friday, where they received a warm welcome from the crowd.

But as the squad lined up for customary photos for the press, what seemed like a few disgruntled fans then began to hurl pillows and a few eggs towards the players.

The shell-shocked squad watched on as secu-

rity guards attended to the commotion before more of the cushions made their way over to the team.

None of the objects managed to hit any of the players in what was mainly a positive welcoming home ceremony for the South Korean side.

Soon after, Son and manager Shin Tae-yong addressed the crowd and said that returning home so soon after crashing out in the group stages was disappointing.

“I didn’t want to come home until July and it’s disappointing to be back home in June,” Shin said. “I’d like to thank our fans for their love and support. Without our fans, we wouldn’t have

been able to create the miracle that we did.”

“Thank you to all of you who came today,” Son, who was almost hit by an egg, said.

“I am sorry to our fans that we didn’t live up to our promise of reaching the knockout stage but I think we all saw some hope from the win over Germany. But we won’t get carried away with that bit of success, and we’ll continue to work hard.”

At the 2014 World Cup the Koreans scored only managed one point.

After returning home, the football players were pelted with sweets, which is considered an insult in South Korea.

M o s c o w, J u n 3 0 (Agencies): Dele Alli has declared himself fit to play for England in their last 16 clash with Colombia on Tuesday. The midfielder sustained a thigh injury in the first match of the tournament against Tunisia, and did not feature in the other group fixtures against Panama and Belgium.

Alli has been back in England training for a week and, when asked if he was fit to return to Gareth Southgate’s side, he said, “Yeah.

Obviously after the injury I was frustrated. I’ve been doing a lot of work and I’m back and ready to go.”

“First of all I have to make it clear the whole squad is the ‘A team’ - we’re all in this together”, Alli said. “As players we support any decision the manager makes. We’ve come here with a big squad and everyone’s fighting for their places. It was a great opportunity and I think the boys did well. I don’t think we lost any momentum.”

However, Alli did say England need to bounce back from the defeat to Belgium saying, “It’s important we react positively to the defeat. We want to win every game.”

denly shifted and despite the first-half mismatch, Argentina were ahead three minutes after the restart. Messi recycled a free-kick back into the box and Mercado, back to goal, instinctively stuck out a left boot.

The game bristled with promise of further drama and France were level when Lucas Hernandez whipped in a ball that Pavard struck on the half-volley, generating spin and slice that gave Armani no chance.

It was fitting that Mbappe, breathtaking in the first half-hour, changed the mood again, pouncing when another Hernandez broke loose, before firing a low shot that wriggled under Armani. And he grabbed his second of the game minutes later, finishing a sweeping move when he slotted a ball nudged into his path by Olivier Giroud into the bottom corner.

Messi scuffed a late shot straight at Hugo Lloris and though a fine deep cross allowed Aguero to beat Lloris in stoppagetime (90+3), there was not enough additional time for a final twist that would have been ill-deserved.

Today’s matches 1st match: 7:30 pm Spain vs Russia 2nd match: 11:30 pm Croatia vs Denmark

M o s c ow, J u n 3 0 (Agencies): Gareth Southgate says he was impressed by England captain Harry Kane’s reaction to being left out of Thursday’s 1-0 loss to Belgium.

Kane scored five goals in England’s opening two wins and leads the race for the World Cup Golden Boot.

But, with England already through to the last16, Southgate decided the Belgium match was an opportunity to rest firstchoice players and give the other squad members some game-time.

Kane did not even get a look-in off the bench and Southgate said: “I felt the need to sit with him, but he was brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

“He totally understood, 100 percent teamfirst. He said ‘look, I know everyone says I want the Golden Boot - of course it’s something I want to do - but the main thing is getting the team through the first knockout’. He was excellent on that, showed real leadership and understanding of the big picture.”

Kane will be back in the side on Tuesday night, when England will face Colombia in what Southgate has dubbed their “big-

Gareth Southgate and Harry Kane

gest match in a decade”.

Southgate’s decision to make eight changes for the Belgium game has met with a mixed response but the manager says he has more important things to worry about.

Asked if he had put himself under pressure by making so many alterations in Kaliningrad, Southgate said, “Well, maybe I have, maybe I haven’t. That is the least of my concerns.

The most important thing for me is the players are in the best physical condition

for the game.” “I don’t think mentally we lose anything, because they know we’ve made changes and they know Belgium weren’t their full team as well. So, we’re in two big matches where margins will be fine and judgement on me will be extremely harsh. That’s why we’re here. We want to be in those games.”

“I wasn’t so comfortable with the love-in (before the Belgium game), to be honest so, nice that there’s a little bit of an edge back.”

Croatia hot favourites against lacklustre Denmark Nizhny Novgorod, Jun 30 (IANS): In-form Croatia will be hot favourites against Denmark, who have looked lacklustre in the group stages, when the two sides clash in a World Cup pre-quarterfinal here on Sunday.

Croatia have won all their Group D matches, including a 3-0 hammering of Lionel Messi’s Argentina. Led by Real Madrid’s midfield lynchpin Luka Modric, Croatia also defeated Nigeria and Iceland to top Group D. This time, Croatia have an experienced squad, a strong generation to at least match their best-ever finish of a third place which happened in 1998 World Cup. “I was nine-yearsold. I remember my mum screaming in the house when we scored,” centra; defender Dejan Lovren was quoted as saying recalling Croatia’s 2-1 win over the Netherlands in 1998 that secured third place.

“We can beat that, definitely, but we need luck. We have a good opponent in the next round, it will be difficult,” said Lovren, who is expected

Croatia players during a training session.

to return to the starting XI. His fellow defenders are expected to be Domagoj Vida, Šime Vrsaljko, Ivan Strinic.

Croatia will once again depend on Modric, who has been in outstanding form, and fellow midfielder Ivan Rakitic to deliver the goods.

Modric scored a peach of a goal from distance against Argentina and along with FC Barcelona’s Rakitic, has been pulling the strings brilliantly for his national team.

The younger crop of Croatia players like Ante Rebic, Mateo Kovacic and Marcelo Brozovic have also rose to the occasion making

them a threat.

Rebic, along with Andrej Kramaric and Ivan Perisic may feature ahead of the midfield duo of Modric and Rakitic. Mario Mandzukic will lead Croatia’s attack.

Denmark, meanwhile, are happy to continue flying under the radar, buoyed by a 17-match unbeaten run. They have scored just two goals in three Group C games, finishing as runnersup, but will face their sternest test yet on Sunday.

They too are seeking to match their 1998 achievement when they reached the quarter-finals before being beaten by Bra-

zil in what was their best World Cup showing.

Denmark coach, Age Hareide, wants his side to play more attacking football against Croatia and the team will rely heavily on key player Christian Eriksen for that.

Denmark have a strong defence with a centre-back pairing of captain Simon Kjaer, Andreas Cristensen and Mathias Jorgensen. In goal is Leicester City star Kasper Schmeichel.

The expected attacking options are Nicolai Jorgensen, Yussuf Polusen, Celta Vigo’s Pione Sisto and Eriksen, with the latter tasked with creativity.

India outclass Ireland by 143 runs in second T20I SMCHSS, MSHSS and Northfield win Dublin, Jun 30 (IANS): Powered by half centuries from Lokesh Rahul and Suresh Raina and a collective bowling effort, India registered their biggest T20I win after convincingly thrashing minnows Ireland by 143 runs in the second and final T20 International, to pocket the two-match series 2-0 here on Friday.

India’s spin twins Yuzvendra Chahal (3/21) and Kuldeep Yadav (3/16) once again starred with the ball as the Irish batsmen continued to be at sea, before eventually crumbling to their second lowest T20I total.

Chasing a mammoth 214, mainly built around half tons from Rahul (70 off 36 balls) and Raina (69 off 45) and a late order cameo from Hardik Pandya (32 not out off 9), Ireland could never recover from the early wickets as the Indian bowlers put on a collective effort to bundle them out for a meagre 70 in just 12.3

overs.

Coming back to the T20I side after a six-year gap, pacer Umesh Yadav drew first blood for the visitors with the wicket of opener Paul Sterling (0) off the second delivery of the Irish innings.

He doubled the joy for the Indians with the wicket of William Potterfield (14) in his second over before debutant Siddharth Kaul joined the party with his maiden international wicket of the

other opener James Shannon (2). With the home side reeling at 22/3, leg spinner Chahal broke through the defences of Andrew Balbirnie (9) before Hardik Pandya packed back new man Kevin O Brien for a duck.

Down to 30/4 at the end of the powerplay, Chahal struck again with the wicket of Simi Singh for another duck before chinaman Kuldeep Yadav sprung into action with the quick dismissals of skipper Gary

Wilson (15) and George Dockrell (4).

Chahal then came back to end tailender Stuart Thompson’s brief stay that saw him scoring a 9-ball 13 before Kuldeep Yadav completed the proceedings by getting last man Boyd Rankin (10) stumped by Dinesh Karthik.

Earlier, India decided to test their bench, making four changes to the playing XI which also saw a change in the batting order with

skipper Virat Kohli opening the innings with Lokesh Rahul. Coming back to the side after missing Wednesday’s opener, Rahul grabbed his chance with both hands, smashing a quickfire 36-ball 70, comprising three fours and six sixes to set the tone with a 102-run second wicket stand with veteran Raina, who also made the most of his chance with a 45-ball 69, including five fours and three sixes.

Pandya (32 not out off 9 balls; 4x1, 6x4) then applied the finishing touches to the innings, milking 39 runs off the final two overs to push India’s total past the 200 run mark for the second consecutive time.

Brief Scores: India 213/4 (Lokesh Rahul 70, Suresh Raina 69, Hardik Pandya 32 not out; Kevin O Brien 3/40) beat Ireland 70 (Gary Wilson 15; Kuldeep Yadav 3/16, Yuzvendra Chahal 3/21, Umesh Yadav 2/19) by 143 runs.
