doing the rounds. Vegetable samples were also collected for analysis at Kohima by the mobile laboratory. There were around 200 cartoons/crates of mangoes

at the three wholesale shops out of which samples were randomly picked to check for presence of carbide. The mobile lab team reached Dimapur at around

7 a.m. Friday, after which, three food technicians from the State Public Health Laboratory-- Bendangsenla, Vizolenuo and T Ayangba accompanied by officials from DMC, Dr Sentinungla and Dr Sentimoa Longkumer; NCD vice president (adm), K Ghokheto Chophy; and Food Safety Officer, Sendongkaba Jamir, visited the fruit wholesale centre and various vegetable shops at Naga Bazaar/Murgi Patti for spot sampling. The fruits samples tested on the spot were mangoes, apples, pomegranate, citrus limetta popularly known as mosambi, bananas, water melon, and oranges. The vegetable samples collected for analysis were green chillies, bitter gourd, small and big varieties of brinjal, two types of water gourd (known as lao locally), snake gourd, cabbage, lady finger, cucumber, tomato, potato, onion, oyster mushrooms, fresh catla fish, chilly powder, dried prawn and fish. While the seven different fruits samples were tested on the spot by placing ‘Watts Circle Paper’ on them, vegetable samples will further be analyzed at the State

Public Health Laboratory at Kohima. The team also visited New Market to test for the presence of carbide on bananas but were not able to collect sample from godowns. They were however able to collect dry fish and oyster mushrooms. Though the tests were carried out with the help of ‘Watts Circle Paper’, the results however will only be confirmed after further tests in the lab. It is also worth mentioning that according to medical studies, toxic effects of exposure to carbide may include kidney disease, asthma, anemia, emphysema, and hard metal lung disease with reduced lung function. DMC officials and the food safety officials also took down information of where wholesalers get different fruits and vegetables from. It was learnt that Dimapur imports its mangoes from Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh, apples are imported from Himachal Pradesh and Kashmir, watermelon is imported mainly from Bangalore and even Rajasthan, pomegranate and Mosambi is imported from Nasik, Maharashtra.

Spl. Correspondent & Agencies

NEW DELHI, JUL 20 (NPN): It was a no-contest from the beginning since the opposition did not have even half the number of MPs as the NDA in Lok Sabha and this was proved when the NDA government won the vote on No Confidence Motion initiated by the TDP by a huge majority of 325 votes against the motion while the combined opposition polled only 126 votes for the motion with 451 MPs present in the House. Members of the Shiv Sena, BJD and TRS were not present in the House when the voting took place. Several AIADMK members opposed the motion, in a boost to the NDA. Replying to an over 10-hour debate on the motion, Modi appealed to all parties to defeat it

and accused the Congress president of “crushing” the truth and “playing with national security” by making allegations against him on the Doklam issue and by speaking of graft in the Rafale aircraft deal. Hours after Gandhi left everyone surprised by walking across to the Prime Minister’s chair to hug him, Modi sought to turn the tables on him, saying he appeared to be in a hurry to occupy his seat as he kept asking him to stand up for an embrace.“What is his hurry to come to power? Let me tell this member, it is the people who elected us. That is how we have come here,” he said. (Cont’d on p-7)

DCCI blames middlemen, multiple Woman from Nagaland Naga Accord: Parl Panel asks raped in Delhi; 2 held MHA to prepare rehab scheme taxation for inflated brick price DIMAPUR, JUL 20 (NPN): Following a report carried in Nagaland Post on the abnormal hike in price of brick in Dimapur, a joint meeting was held between the Dimapur Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) and the Brick Field Owners Union (BFOU) on July 19. According to DCCI president Akashe Zhimomi, the meeting maintained that brick was sold was at following rates fixed by the district administration on February 3,2018 - Rs.6.50 (A class), Rs.6(B class) and Rs.5.50 (medium class ) and broken bricks at Rs.3500 to Rs.4000 per truck load. DCCI blamed the “rate racketeering” on middlemen whom it accused of selling bricks at various locations and highways after purchasing them form brick kilns. The meeting appealed to the district administration to “immediately intervene” and either close down kilns charging inflated rate or ensure bricks are sold at approved rates. DCCI also appealed to public to buy from brick kilns at approved rates and not at inflated rates from middlemen. Most tellingly, BFOU had candidly admitted to DCCI that taxation

demands from various NPGs are “overburdening the brick kilns production and the business community has no choice but to recover from the price of the bricks”. DCCI pointed out that the taxation demands by various NPGs included1.Yearly Tax,2.Coal Yearly Tax,3.Coal Per Trip,4.Sand tax,5.Vehicle Tax and 6.Labour Tax. It said all the six compounded taxes are being paid to seven(7) NPGs and which totals 42 taxes being paid by each brick kiln owner, in order sell the bricks. DCCI said such a huge burden was beyond justification and therefore appealed to the state government to look into the grievances of the BFOU. As a measure against black marketing and sale of bricks at exorbitant and inflated prices, DCCI urged all customers that if any of the brick kilns were selling bricks above rates approved by the district administration, they should contact the following mobile numbers:7005886916 or 7005526728. DCCI has warned that those kilns found selling above approved rates will face stringent action to the extent of cancellation of their permit.

Now, PDR takes on Finance dept over double drawal issue DIMAPUR, JUL 20 (NPN): State Finance department has once again come under scanner over the issue of double Drawal Authority (DA) as People for Democratic Rights (PDR) on Friday pointed out alleged financial irregularities committed by the department’s budget & monitoring cell (B&MC). In a press note, PDR media & publicity affairs alleged that two DAs-- dated November 3, 2017 and December 20, 2017 were issued by the B&MC in favour of Planning and Coordination department under demand No. 27 amounting to Rs 4 crore (Rs 2 crore each). It said that the break-up of the two DAs were an exact facsimile of each other wherein the gross, deductions and net amounts were the same for each project. PDR said that the DAs were classified under ‘Development’ head and pertained to six works as shown in the DA. (See table) As similar issue of DA for construction of a bridge over

River Tizit on Mon-Tizit road was highlighted in the media last year, PDR said that Finance department conveniently clarified that the DA was issued for second time since the amount was not drawn for the first drawal authority. In this regard, PDR questioned as to who the department was trying to take for a ride? It said that if the first DA was not drawn, then while issuing the second DA the FD, a usual practise, should have mentioned “in supersession of DA dated” etc. This was clearly a case of double

In another case, PDR alleged that the Finance department’s B&MC flouted all rules by releasing Rs 1 crore on March 30, 2018 in favour of Planning & Coordination department for works carried out under Evaluation department. What it demanded to know from FD was that, when the Evaluation department had its

own Demand No 44, under what norms did the FD release the DA in favour of Planning Machinery under Demand no 27 for works clearly mentioned as under Evaluation department? PDR has asked FD to clarify as to why and how DA was issued arbitrarily to Planning department when the works were under Evaluation department? It further demanded to know as to which department executed the works- Planning or Evaluation department? PDR further sought clarification from the departments over the amount (Rs. 1 crore) released for the following works under Evaluation department-construction of security fencing with gate and site development for flat type staff quarter at DEO office, Dimapur– Rs 20 lakh; construction of retaining wall/ site development/security fencing at DEO Office, Longleng – Rs 30 lakh and construction of retaining wall/security fencing/bore well for flat type staff quarter, Kohima– Rs 50 lakh.

with the Government that boundaries of the States will not be touched. Instead, some special arrangements would be made for the Nagas, wherever they are. The negotiations were going on over some symbolic issues, which are sensitive to both the government and the Nagas as well, and attempts are being made to reach a common understanding,” it said. However, the committee said that the delay in concluding talks on the Naga Accord is making the Naga groups “restless” and warned that it could “harm whatever progress” achieved so far in this direction. The committee also wondered “why there is a delay in concluding the peace talks when all other stakeholders other than the government appear to be eager to conclude it”.

Kaito addressing the gathering during the ICDP launching program in Kohima on Friday. (NP)

Correspondent KOHIMA, JUL 20 (NPN): Minister for Agriculture and Cooperation, G. Kaito Aye, has urged the cooperative societies of Nagaland to retrospect on the failures and successes of the past years and make building success stories, their priority. He said this while speaking at the launching program of the Integrated Cooperative Development project (ICDP) of Kohima, Tuensang, Kiphire, Longleng and Peren district at Hotel JapfĂź in Kohima on Friday. Aye said Integrated Cooperative Development project was one of the most important schemes of the National Cooperative Development Coopera-

tion (NCDC). He said this scheme promotes various economic activities through cooperatives in the spheres of agriculture, agro-based industries, cottage and household industries and agri-allied sectors like fisheries, dairy handlooms, horticulture and rural industries in select districts. Kaito pointed out that non repayment of loans by the borrower was one of the main reasons for the failure of cooperative societies. He then asked the department to take stringent action against defaulters. He also promised to personally verify projects and ongoing work taken up by the department. The minister urged the registrar of cooperative societies to cancel non

performing societies in the state and make sure the benefit reaches the beneficiaries. Managing director Nagaland State Cooperative Bank (NStCB) Ltd Lipoktoba Aier in his address said 5 ICDPs were successfully implemented in Mokokchung, Wokha, Tuensang, Phek and Dimapur districts as the project implementing agency (PIA). He stated that NStCB Ltd. has a network of 21 branches presently spread over all the districts of the state except Longleng district which is being catered to by Changtongya branch. According to Aier the biggest drawbacks are the one man societies, which are still existence, and the non functioning societies

which are originally set up with real cooperative spirit and zeal. Additional RCS Imsunungsang, in his highlights of ICDP, said it was the schemes under NCDC where an area development approach is adopted for development of cooperatives. He said the funds involved consists of a 70% loan component and the rest as share capital/subsidy. ICDP started in Nagaland in the year 1989 and since then has implemented the scheme in 8 districts and among all the ICDPs. He said this program would run for 4 years covering all major agri and allied activities supported in storage, transportation and marketing facilities. Secretary cooperation K. Libanthung Lotha in his address urged the department to not create eyewash projects but implement them with sincerity and seriousness. Vice chairman MARCOFED Ltd. Dr. Aotoshi and a representative from Kohima District Weavers and Artisans CS Ltd. also addressed the gathering. Later, as a symbolic gesture of officially launching the

project, Kaito handed over the vehicle (Bolero) keys to the Chief Project Officers (CPOs) of Kohima, Tuensang, Kiphire, Longleng and Peren districts. T h e p r o g r a m wa s chaired by RCS Nagaland, Wepe Ritse, a special song presented by Vision Women Weaving Handloom and Handicraft CS Ltd., while Bokato proposed the vote of thanks. The program was attended by various cooperatives societies from different districts, NGOs, staff Advisor for Excise and Sericulture, Imtikumzuk and officials of cooperative interacted with senior officers of the Nagaland Excise societies and others. department on July 18.

vided into two sessions and in the second session around 50 participants were trained on dengue and they chalked out a community program, group discussions and field exercise, led by Dr. Rohan from the Community Health Department of CISHR. The first session concentrated on understanding the dengue vector and virus, conditions in which Aedes Aegypti or the Tiger Mosquito thrives and multiples, the three types of dengue, the fatality rate of the disease, symptoms, treatment and prevention of dengue. Dr. Rohan also went on to add that the only place in Dimapur where patients could confirm the presence of the dengue virus is from the

He also highlighted measures to tackle dengue: 1. Dispose solid waste properly and remove manmade mosquito habitats; 2. Cover, empty and clean domestic water storage containers on a weekly basis; 3. Apply mosquito repellents and wear bright clothing that covers well; 4. Prevent mosquitoes from accessing egg laying habitats by environmental management and modification and management; 5.

Opposition walk out in protest as Manipur Assembly begins by chief minister N Biren Singh while The Manipur Liquor Prohibition (Second Amendment) Bill 2018 by deputy chief minister Y Joykumar. Education minister Th Radheshyam introduced The Manipur International University Bill 2018. While introducing the Manipur People Bill 2018, the chief minister urged the house to refer it to the Hill Areas Committee of the state Assembly which the Speaker immediately agreed. The Speaker asked the committee to submit its report by July 23 (Monday) so that the house can discuss and pass if possible. After the introduction of the bills, the chief minister gave his statement on issues of border pillars and Manipur University crisis. Reiterating his government’s commitment to protect the interest of the state, the chief minister said that the government has taken up the alleged re-location of border pillar no.81 of the

Indo-Myanmar border with the pertinent authorities of the Central government. On the issue demanding removal of vice-chancellor Prof AP Pandey, the chief minister said that appointment and removal of the VC of the university was beyond the purview of the state government. However, considering importance of academic careers of the students, a government delegation led by him rushed to New Delhi and directly apprised the Union Human Resource Development minister. He informed the house that an enquiry committee headed by retired acting chief justice T Nandakumar Singh of Meghalaya High Court has been constituted to enquire into the allegations leveled against Prof AP Pandey. “The committee will enquire and submit a report to the ministry (Union HRD ministry). If found guilty, Pandey has to be sacked definitely,” he said.

HRD ministry may relax norms for teachers’ recruitment in Tripura

Ering urges Centre to give importance to NE universities

IMPHAL, Jul 20: Opposition Congress walked out in protest on the first day of the monsoon session of Manipur Legislative Assembly stating that the session with only two sittings was not enough to discuss the impending issues. Three gover nment bills – The Manipur People Bill 2018, The Manipur Liquor Prohibition (Second Amendment) Bills 2018 and The Manipur International University Bill 2018 were introduced on the first day of the session. As the Speaker refused to entertain their proposal saying the sittings were already allocated and members can share their views on the issues in the next sitting, opposition members walked out of the house. Earlier, before taking up business of the day, the house took up obituary reference where the members paid tribute to four former members of the house as

Agartala, Jul 20 (IANS): The Central government has assured Tripura that the state is likely to be granted one-time relaxation in qualifying marks and professional qualification for recruiting teachers to overcome the huge shortage of teachers, an official said here on Friday. “Union HRD (Human Resource Development) Minister Prakash Javadekar during a meeting with Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb in New Delhi on Thursday evening said that his ministry is actively considering the state government’s proposal to grant the one-time relaxation in qualifying marks and exemption of professional qualification for recruiting teachers,” an official of CM’s secretariat, requesting anonymity, said.

The members also observed twominute silence as a mark of respect to the departed souls. The departed souls were former chief minister RK Dorendra, former members of the house -Nongmeikapam Komnon Singh, Soso Lorho and Dr Wakambam Thoiba Singh.

BJP government has earlier urged the HRD ministry for a one-time relaxation in academic and other qualifications to facilitate recruitment of 12,222 teachers to overcome their huge shortage in the state. Deb also recently met Prime Minister’s Principal Secretary Nripendra Mishra in New Delhi and took up the teachers’ recruitment issue. According to the Right of the Child to Free and Com-

Tripura CM inaugurates traditional ‘Kharchi Puja’ Agartala, Jul 20 (IANS): Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb on Friday inaugurated the seven-day long “Kharchi Puja” at Puran Habeli, seven km from the state capital. The centuries-old Puja was inaugurated by the Chief Minister in the presence of a host of ministers and dignitaries, officials said. The annual festival is meant to cleanse the sins of mortal souls. Originally a Hindu tribals’ festivity, it is now observed by all communities and religion. With colourful marquees, illuminations, religious rites and chanting of the ‘mantras’ amid drum beats, the festival features 14 deities -- Shiva, Durga,

Vishnu, Laxmi, Saraswati, Kartik, Ganesha, Brahma, Abadhi (God of water), Chandra, Ganga, Agni, Kamdev and Himadri (Himalaya).As per the tradition, the week-long festival began with a procession. All deities and priests were escorted by the Tripura Police personnel, who also presented a guard of honour for the chief royal priest known as “Raj Chantaia”. “The worship starts with the dipping of 14 deities in the Howrah river, followed by the sacrifice of 108 animals in the presence of hundreds of thousands of devotees, all at government expense,” writer and historian Subhash Das told IANS.

pulsory Education (RTE) Act of 2009 and NCTE guidelines, Teachers Eligibility Test (TET) is mandatory for recruitment of teachers in government schools. To appear for the TET, the candidate ought to have 50 per cent marks in certain subjects and a Bachelor’s degree or Diploma in Elementary Education or Diploma in Education. The HRD Ministry had earlier relaxed the minimum qualification norms for teachers, as notified by the NCTE, for Assam and West Bengal. The teachers’ recruitment was a key political issue ahead of the February 18 Assembly elections in Tripura as the Supreme Court had upheld a Tripura High Court verdict to terminate the services of 10,323 government teachers on the ground of discrepancies during the rule of the Left Front government.

I tanaga r , J u l 2 0 (PTI): Lok Sabha MP from Arunachal Pradesh Ninong Ering has urged the Centre to give due importance to the universities of Northeast while selecting institutions of eminence. “The concept of balanced regional development has been ignored in the IOE selection process, and such discrimination will result in chaotic downfall of education standard in the region,” Ering said in a letter to Union HRD minister Prakash Javadekar. “The Northeastern region has a number of universities which are doing well, and they need to be given greater impetus to promote education,” Ering said. Giving NE universities the IOE status would have encouraged industrialists and foreign educational institutions to come to this region and set up vocational/technical universities, he said.

In view of the above, ADE and GSU demanded that the authorities to provide boarding and lodging facilities to the people of Meghalaya immediately.

I tanaga r , J u l 2 0 (PTI): The Gauhati High Court has directed the Arunachal Pradesh government to conduct the rural polls in the state by December this year. The term of the threetier Panchayat bodies had expired on May 31. A change in the structure from the three-tier Panchayati Raj system to a two-tier one has apparently delayed the rural election in the state. The directions by Itanagar permanent bench of Gauhati High Court on Wednesday came in the wake of a writ petition filed by former Kurung Kumey zilla parishad chairman Sangha Tagik seeking the court’s intervention in view of the delay in the conduct of panchayat polls. The court in its judgment said, “A writ of mandamus is hereby issued to avert a constitutional crisis in the state, directing the

government of Arunachal Pradesh to suitably revise its action plan, so as to complete the exercise by November 30, 2018, and thereafter the state Election Commission shall start its exercise for holding the general election to the Panchayats.” It also directed the Arunachal Pradesh government and its functionaries to render all cooperation and assistance to the State Election Commission in discharging its constitutional obligation of holding a smooth and fair election. “It is further directed that the entire process shall not continue beyond December 12, 2018, keeping in mind that the mandate of Article 243 E (3) of the Constitution of India cannot be diluted by introducing any amendment to the statutory law of the subject, read the judgment,” a copy of which was made available to the media.

DMK slams AIADMK govt over crime against women

Women from various organisations form a human chain during a protest against the issues and atrocities faced by women in the country, in Patna on Friday. (PTI) Chandigarh, Jul 20 (PTI/AGENCIES): A 22year-old married woman from Chandigarh has alleged that she was raped by 40 men for four consecutive days after being held captive at a guest house in Morni area of Haryana’s Panchkula district, following which three people were arrested, police said today. In a complaint lodged with the Chandigarh Police at Manimajra police station yesterday, the woman alleged that she was held captive for four days where the accused took turns to rape

her. The woman’s husband told reporters that she was promised job at the guest house by a person known to them, adding she was drugged for four days, raped and threatened that she and her husband would be “eliminated” if she revealed the incident to anyone. While, the Chandigarh Police lodged an FIR in Manimajra police station after the woman approached them with the complaint, the case was being transferred to the Panchkula Police, under whose jurisdiction the alleged incident took place.

Honour killing: Woman burnt alive by father

A 19-year-old woman who was leaving her home to marry a man outside her caste was allegedly burnt to death by her father in a Madhya Pradesh village this morning, in what appears to be a suspected case of honour killing, police said. The incident took place in Chainpur Sarkar village in Khandwa district, around 250 km from Bhopal. Laxmi Bai’s father, Sundar Lal Yadav (52), has been arrested and his brother, Rajendra

Yadav (28), detained, a police official said. Initial inquiry revealed that the family members opposed her decision to marry a man who belonged to another caste. However, she remained adamant and this apparently enraged her family members, Khalwa police station in-charge Kailash Panse said. When the woman was leaving her home at around 7.30 am, her father stopped her and allegedly set her on fire by pouring kerosene over her. The girl died on the spot, Panse said.

The DMK today demanded strong measures and punishment for all those involved in the alleged rape of a 11-year-old girl and a Russian woman as it slammed the AIADMK government for ‘failure’ to ensure women’s safety and security. Expressing outrage and shock over the assault, party working president M K Stalin said “Strong (legal) measures are needed to punish the perpetrators.” Stalin, also the Leader of the Opposition in the Tamil Nadu assembly, in a statement listed out various incidents of crime against women in the state in the recent past. He alleged that such crimes continued since the AIADMK government did not pay attention to women’s safety and security. Recalling a 13-point action plan of late Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa in 2013 to ensure women’s safety and prevent incidents of sexual harassment, the DMK leader alleged the government neither bothered to implement it nor took proper action against the perpetrators.

Farmers take shelter under a banner as it rains during a protest against the NDA government over the hike in MSP (Minimum Support Price) of certain crops, in New Delhi, on Friday. (PTI) New Delhi, Jul 20 (IANS): All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee (AIKSCC) on Friday launched the first of its proposed three-part agitation at Parliament Street here, with hundreds of farmers marching and raising slogans against the minimum support price (MSP) offered by the government for their crops. Farmers from several regions of the country marched from Mandi House to the Parliament Street, only kilometres away from the Parliament House -- where the opposition parties were had brought a no-confidence motion -- expressing their ‘no trust’ in the Narendra Modi government. Addressing the farmers

there, Committee member and Swaraj India leader Yogendra Yadav called the gathering a “foretaste of the bigger agitations” to be held on August 9 and November 30. Yadav termed the MSP offered by the government a “historic fraud” and indicted the government for several “anti-farmer” policies, ranging from “low farmer income” and “lowest rise in MSP” to “poor exportimport policy” and its “lax attitude during droughts”. “This is no historic decision as the government has been propogating it, it is a historic fraud,” Yadav said. Communist Party of India-Marxist leader Sitaram Yechury called the MSP not just fraud but “treachery

with farmers”. “You (farmers) have full support from us. The ‘no-trust’ motion in Parliament is not to bring down the government ... I know we (opposition parties) will fail. This (the motion) has been brought to expose the anti-people policies of this government,” said the leader. He also accused the government of conspiring to ruin domestic farming community by encouraging imports and discouraging exports. O n N ove m b e r 3 0 , farmers across the country will lay siege to the national capital to force the passage of two bills -- on loan waiver and better farm remuneration, according to the AIKSCC.

Goa Assembly proceedings Pothole deaths: SC summons Delhi police chief washed out over fish issue Today, as soon as the session began, Leader of Opposition Chandrakant Kavlekar demanded that their adjournment motion, which was not allowed yesterday, be taken up for discussion. The speaker said the opposition benches have not moved any fresh motion, hence the business of the House would continue. He also told the Congress MLAs that the issue would be discussed on Monday through calling attention motion during which Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar would give an elaborate reply. The opposition benches, however, continued to create pandemonium in the House. Kavlekar demanded that the adjournment motion moved yesterday be allowed today as the issue was of public importance. “This is not about your or my health only. It is about the health of lakhs of people

in the state,” he said referring to the issue of formalin found in fish. The presence of the cancer-inducing chemical has been confirmed by the state Food and Drugs Administration. Parrikar told the Congress members that he would reply in detail on Monday. However, as the opposition MLAs continued to create noise, the speaker adjourned the House till 2: 30 pm. Talking to reporters outside the assembly hall, Parrikar termed the opposition’s move as mere “drama”. “No adjournment motion was moved today. I checked it up with the speaker. This noise was for cheap publicity. It is nothing but drama,” he said. The chief minister said the government has banned the import of fish into the state. “We have even sent back few trucks from the border,” he added.

ing Chhattisgarh have been told to remain vigilant and maintain a close watch on the borders, he said. “Though the place of yesterday’s encounter is not very close to the Odisha border, attempts by Maoists to move into our areas cannot be ruled out and security personnel have to be in a state of preparedness to deal with such movement,” the state police chief said. As part of the drive to foil any Maoist infiltration bid into Odisha, patrolling and combing operations by the security forces have been stepped up in the districts that share borders with Chhattisgarh, a senior police official said. In Malkangiri, the border with Chhattisgarh has been sealed in several areas like Mathili, Padia and Motu. The movement of vehicles is being closely monitored and thorough checking is being undertaken, district SP Jagmohan Meena said.

New Delhi, Jul 20 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Friday said it was “frightening” that a large number of people were dying in road accidents caused by potholes and summoned Delhi’s Commissioner of Police for non-removal of encroachments and traffic bottlenecks despite several recommendations. A bench of Justice Madan B. Lokur and Justice Deepak Gupta observed that there are more deaths due to potholes than terrorist attacks in India. The bench said the Police Commissioner should

explain as to why the police has not implemented the February 2017 report of a special task force that had recommended clearance of traffic bottlenecks and encroachments. “So many people are dying in the country due to accident caused by potholes. Reports say that more people have died in accidents caused by potholes than in terrorist attacks,” said the bench. The court asked a Supreme Court Committee on Road Safety to look into the issue and give its report in two weeks. The bench, while hear-

Security alert in 5 districts of Odisha after killing of Moaists Bhubaneswar, Jul 20 (PTI): Security forces have been put on high alert in five districts of Odisha in the wake of yesterday’s killing of eight Maoists in neighbouring Chhattisgarh, a senior police official said today. Security forces yesterday killed at least eight Maoist cadres, including four women, in a fierce encounter in Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur. Odisha Director General of Police R P Sharma today said the Naxals were under pressure in Chhattisgarh after yesterday’s encounter, and hence the five bordering districts have been put on alert to prevent their influx into his state. “We have asked forces in districts like Nuapada, Malkangiri, Bargarh, Koraput and Nabarangpur to remain in a state of high alert after yesterday’s anti-Maoist operation in Chhattisgarh,” Sharma told PTI. The Superintendents of Police of the districts border-

underpasses and foot overbridges. “That means people of Delhi will have to face bottlenecks for another two-three years,” the court remarked. “For the sake of people of Delhi, let the Commissioner of Police come (before the bench),” said the court even as the Delhi gov-

Panaji, Jul 20 (PTI): The Goa Legislative Assembly failed to transact any business for the second consecutive day as the opposition Congress created a ruckus in the House today to press for an adjournment motion to discuss the issue of formalin found in fish. Due to the noisy scenes created by the Congress members, the House was initially adjourned till 2.30 pm. However, since the commotion continued even after the House reassembled post-lunch, Speaker Pramod Sawant adjourned it till Monday. The Assembly had failed to function on the first day of the monsoon session yesterday as the speaker adjourned it five times due to the ruckus created by the opposition members with the demand that they be allowed to move an adjournment motion and take up the issue of formalin-in-fish.

Excess laws to flaws

t was some consolation that the Supreme Court had directed the Centre to enact a special law and courts to tackle the rising spate of horrific mob lynching at the hearing on Tuesday. The directive was a sequel to an earlier hearing on the case. Mob lynching in India has become a threat to society and also reflects the atmosphere created by the hate mongers. Whether it is lynching of those who eat beef or inter-faith marriage, India in the 21st century does not reflect the claim of being among the economic super powers of the world. The hate speeches and violence in the name of protecting the sentiments of a majority community are vain alibis. The majority community is itself not homogenous but totally heterogeneous. So there is no cause or reason to believe that those who kill humans to save cows are doing any justice to the religious practises of the majority. In fact, the majority community as it is described, does not teach to kill or maim. So if the thugs and killers rant and rave about their sentiments being hurt, it is pure hogwash and an excuse to unleash their fascist ideology. The atmosphere of hatred is like a virus and acts upon the insecurity of the people. This is also evident with the recent spate of mob lynching of suspected child lifters in various parts of India. The Centre has a responsibility to make the states act without fear or favour against all those inciting hatred and also deciding to kill those victims on mere suspicion. In a strong and frank indictment of those who preach hatred, the Supreme Court described lynching as a result of “a fabricated identity with bigoted approach sans acceptance of plurality” which led to a “display of reactionary retributive attitude transforming itself into dehumanisation of human beings”. In other words, the court was telling the political executive in the states and at the Centre in no uncertain terms that they were blindsided in their basic obligation towards the people. Whether lynching was linked to cow protection or anti-child lifting, there is no question nor justification for any explanation. It is a direct offence to the constitution and a clear statement of intention that even union ministers are taking sides on such inhuman and condemnable acts. The Supreme Court has put the ball firmly in the court of the politicians, be it the ruling or opposition. The clear directive to the Centre is to evoke an effective response from the law enforcement wing to shake the confidence of perpetrators about getting away with a lynching. The job of either the Centre of state(s) does not end with enactment. There are enough laws to punish killers but the problem is that the politicians are interfering in the process by creating various hurdles. Even another anti-lynching law cannot guarantee protection of lives since the same people have allowed killers to still roam free under specious pleas. The Supreme Court could look into the entire issue of communalism and put its foot down so that enactment of laws after laws does not take the place of simple but honest enforcement after all, India has too many laws and when unenforced, they become flaws.

DailyDevotion Dependent on God’s Presence Those who wait on the Lord…shall walk and not faint. —Isaiah 40:31 There is no thrill for us in walking, yet it is the test for all of our steady and enduring qualities. To “walk and not faint” is the highest stretch possible as a measure of strength. The word walk is used in the Bible to express the character of a person— “…John…looking at Jesus as He walked…said, ‘Behold the Lamb of God!’ ” (John 1:3536). There is nothing abstract or obscure in the Bible; everything is vivid and real. God does not say, “Be spiritual,” but He says, “Walk before Me…” (Genesis 17:1). When we are in an unhealthy condition either physically or emotionally, we always look for thrills in life. In our physical life this leads to our efforts to counterfeit the work of the Holy Spirit; in our emotional life it leads to obsessions and to the destruction of our morality; and in our spiritual life, if we insist on pursuing only thrills, on mounting up “with wings like eagles” (Isaiah 40:31), it will result in the destruction of our spirituality. Having the reality of God’s presence is not dependent on our being in a particular circumstance or place, but is only dependent on our determination to keep the Lord before us continually. Our problems arise when we refuse to place our trust in the reality of His presence. The experience the psalmist speaks of— “We will not fear, even though…” (Psalm 46:2)— will be ours once we are grounded on the truth of the reality of God’s presence, not just a simple awareness of it, but an understanding of the reality of it. Then we will exclaim, “He has been here all the time!” At critical moments in our lives it is necessary to ask God for guidance, but it should be unnecessary to be constantly saying, “Oh, Lord, direct me in this, and in that.” Of course He will, and in fact, He is doing it already! If our everyday decisions are not according to His will, He will press through them, bringing restraint to our spirit. Then we must be quiet and wait for the direction of His presence.

Protective thinking: Greater Nagaland or mini Nagaland? R G

Jadikhe Naisho Hoshom denounces DNC statement

reater Nagaland broadly means the whole contiguous Naga territories to be brought under the administration of future Nagaland government post final solution whereas Mini Nagaland implies to present Nagaland state and other Naga districts under administration of neighbouring states governments. Naga Integration appears to be the most mentioned matter in media but the most important agenda has so far been the least discussed or debated topic in public forum. Practically speaking, Integration is not the sole responsibility of single party in negotiation with GoI, it is the responsibility of every Naga residing in four Indian states. Still if you are not getting the idea; Manipur territorial integrity remain intact even after seven decades of Naga intensive struggles for Naga Nation and Kuki Nationalists demand of Kuki Homeland i.e. Zale’ngam is largely credited to the contribution and participations of loyal citizens of Manipur, the mass participants of its citizens largely composed of ethnic Meeteis during 18th June Uprising 2001 and their present stands regarding Manipur territorial integrity is a great lesson for all, when general public of Manipur can sacrifice that much for safeguarding its territorial integrity, what Naga general public are waiting for?. By writing memorandum alone to GoI, dreams cannot be fulfilled. Nagas talked incessantly on its integration but so far has not given any serious thought nor debated on the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s public speech promising the people of Manipur while addressing a BJP’s election campaign rally at Langjing Achouba ground in Imphal West where he publically declared that ‘there is nothing in the peace accord signed between the NSCN-IM and the GoI that would disintegrate or break the territorial integrity of Manipur’, Imphal Free Press, 25/02/17. The only way now is pro Naga integration groups like Naga Hoho, NSF unites Nagas putting pro integration groups in majority and then only people’s movement can bring something. Integration may be top agenda in negotiation table still the people can not commit blunders by solely depending on the results of

peace talks. In addition, integration touches the boundaries of three states which make Naga integration appears complex and in face of such complication one wishes to see Nagas rising above all odds. Some of the practical steps which I believe can put Nagas in advantage in dealing with its neighbouring states governments are mentioned points by points below:1. NSCN IM have been in peace talks with GoI post ceasefire for 21 years and counting, till then it cannot risk bringing in third party again to quell the Naga aspiration and this third party is the Indian military, who has start hunting cadres of armed factions even after Naga leaders had gifted colourful Naga traditional attire like waistcoat, shawl etc as a token of friendship to PM Modiji, cabinet ministers, interlocutor etc. But do heads of Indian military forces really care about those traditional attires given to Prime minister? In fact gifts were made untimely and friends don’t hunt to kill friends after receiving a gift. For this reason, Naga people has to do it lawfully to secure integration after all they have no solid support from any foreign Nation or powerful international NGOs to support their cause and prevent recurrence of inhuman war crimes committed by Indian military forces like in the past. This is where provisions of Article 2, 3 & 4 of constitution must come into play. Nagas knew they has no option but to invoke constitutional provisions and launch non-violent democratic methods to fight for integration which would be a good start on the path to integration but refuses for countless reasons. Even if Naga representative win it out in negotiation table it is apparent that GoI would not take further risk seeing the stiff opposition of other states, this is where they need to help themselves by launching civil disobedient movement legally boycotting their respective states government like the Telangana people did to then Andhra Pradesh state during struggle for separate Telangana state. Nagas has no required number of MLAs and MPs to win it out in states assemblies and parliament so as a supplement to the current peace talks, civil disobedient movement can bail Nagas out, also implement self reliant economic

project to avoid remaining dependent on others. For example in Manipur, Naga people employed in Manipur government has to resigned from state service, boycott Imphal in advance totally giving up the comforts of Imphal and return to Hills their ancestral lands and invest with available resources to develop it, build proper road connectivity between all Naga populated districts to connect Nagaland and Assam, in that way completely boycotting Imphal valley. In fact such steps was suggested by one Meetei writer stating that though Nagas demand separate administrative unit in Manipur, not single of them has ever resign from Manipur government service. And they could not as they are not economically independent and unless Naga people settled in Manipur implement such steps, they would soon be fully integrated with the Manipur state by virtue of economic packages and better infrastructural developments. It’s time to decide whether to be fully in or out of Manipur, the current would only create extra chaos into the lives of economically poor Naga people living in Manipur. 2. Time has come for Left out Nagas to start boycotting respective governments at the earliest before the flame of integration died. When it happens one has to accept the reality and give total allegiance to its respective governments as citizens of that particular state. Many opposed integration but having keenly observed the consequences of communal centric and religious politics of the mainstream Indian politics and its side effects equally felt in North-eastern region, I honestly feel land integration is in the best interest for the relatively small Nagas. No matter politically blind people living in four Indian states are satisfied with the status quo and very much wary to preserve their current positions thus refusing to see the larger picture. By now, whole Nagas must force factions to compromise and merged into one single cohesive unit, civilian populations has to reorganize themselves as a Naga nationality not as tribe people anymore before the sooner or later political result of win or lose finish the Nagas forever. (To be concluded....) Pakinrichapbo (Advocate)

eacting sharply on the apprehension running high and deep among the people of Dima Hasao Dist. and Nagaland, over the statement of the president of Dimasa National Council (DNC), which appeared in various print media on 16th July, where they alleged that the Naga rebels are committing atrocities against the Dimasas living in Nagaland. Jadikhe Naisho Hoshom (JNH), The Dimasa Apex Body, made an immediate Telephonic contact with high profile leaders of Dimasa Public Organization of Nagaland, and knew from them that there is no such kind of incidence of atrocities being carried out against the Dimasas of Nagaland, by the Naga rebels and the Dimasa-Naga relationship in Nagaland are still tight and based on mutual respect existing since time immemorial. They also said that they never heard the name so called Dimasa National Council (DNC) except JNH, who always speaks and appeals the people in the interest of peace and harmony in all Regions. The DNC never consult with the Dimasas of Nagaland before placing their demand to the Govt. of India. It was only from Newspaper they have come to know of their demand and allegations made against the Naga Rebels, which they condemned through a press release on 17th July. They further inform that they rather want early and happy ending of Indo-Naga peace talk. The JNH, sensing something fishy suspected the involvement of high handed trouble mongers, call upon the self proclaim leaders of DNC unrecognized, frontal organizations and intellectuals of Dima Hasao and held a meeting at Dibarai, Haflong, on 19th July. It was found that the DNC and their demands are not known to everyone present in the meeting and people of Dima Hasao in general. Moreover, organization leaders are not the recognized person of any social activities in the dist. this have increased the JNH, the suspect of involvement of third force in their unrecognized movement. The self proclaim leaders were given opportunity to speak out to the gathering regarding their base of allegation made against Naga rebels, their demands and future strategies. They completely fail to deliver satisfactory answer which have made the gathering more complicated to understand and higher the range of fearful involvement of third force behind the DNC’ unrecognized movement. Thus the JNH, and on the general consensus of the leaders of frontal organization and intellectuals of Dima Hasao Dist, in the greater interest of peace and development of all communities denigrate the Dimasa National Council (DNC) and their riotous allegation made against the Naga Rebels. Further, the JNH, appeal the general people of both communities to maintain distance and be cautious from being used by the third force to attain and gain their personal agendas and public figure at the cost of own community.

Why are we so anxious about 666 but do not worry about our bad way of life?

ere is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. One day, a woman showed to me a depiction in a pen, and asked me inquisitively, “Is this not the sign of satan’s number, 666”? Somebody told her that it was. I smilingly replied, “This pen is nice, I don’t think so”. That incident stimulated me to write this article. Thanks to her. There is a joke that the devils are annoyed with humans because we blame them excessively. Frequently, in the Bible camps, many express their wish that Adam and Eve had not eaten the forbidden fruit. They r uefully ask why God didn’t thwart Adam and Eve. I used to jokingly respond, if we were there, we might have eaten even the leaves, the branches and the entire tree. These words used to evoke laughter. To a great extent, we misapprehend evil. Apparently, there is a mystery about evil. I don’t have all the answers. But, we have certain wrong notions of evil. I used to be deeply engrossed in ruminating about 666. Seemingly, it’s the number many dread. Surprisingly or unsurprisingly, there are theologians who are not apprehensive about it. For them, it is not something which will occur in the future, but it had already happened.

In fact, reading the book of Revelation with only futurist perspective is one of our limitations. Revelation does not indeed record only about the future. The writer, John, compared the spiteful rulers of his day with the beasts and dragons. This style of writing was prevalent in other ancient writings. We learn that John borrowed the ideas from them. However, my intention is not to expound how we should read the book of revelation. But, considering that Revelation 13 is about a brutal ruler in Rome in the past (In verse 1, seven heads signify seven hills – Rome is a city of seven hills), these group of theologians are not actually bothered. Though Revelation 13 talks about an episode in the past, it has been argued that this particular verse (18) which mentions 666 is a futurist one. Some strongly assert and promulgate that it is unmistakably about a future episode. I don’t intend to dig out the meaning of 666 and make it crystal clear here. Whether it had happened or yet to transpire my concern and question is why we are so fretful. As I deeply ponder, I realize that it stems from the fact that our idea of evil is flawed. Many youngsters often bemoan that if Eve and Adam had not committed sin, we would be enjoying today. The problem lies here.

We think that we do evil deeds because we are tempted by satan. One logical question needs to be asked: If there is no satan or devil and no temptation, could we commit sin or do evil things? Yes, we are not machines. We normally think and say that we are specially created by God and consider that Lucifer and the fallen angels are awful. We think as though Lucifer and the fallen angels were not specially created. We ask lot of questions about God allowing satan to tempt and attack us, but we hardly contemplate and question why we are like the fallen angels in thinking and doing evil. We hate satan. We don’t want evil. But, why do we always desire good and do evil? Why do we always hate evil and think evil? And sadly, we think the devil is responsible for it. This is one of the biggest problems of Christians. We intensely wish Adam and Eve had not eaten the forbidden fruit, but we do not feel sorry that we have been living wicked life all these years. This is our problem. We have been producing evils relentlessly and we see only the evil of satan. We blame satan for our evil actions. If ungodly people talk about evil, it is not wrong in saying that it’s a discussion about evil by evil beings. Evil was not created. It is not a substance which can be created. Lucifer was a

good being. Disobedience breeds evil. When we disobey, evil is generated. We greatly disobey God and we think if there is no temptation or satan, we would be good. This is farcical. Evil things cannot create any good thing. Evil produces evil. It leads to destruction. Our bad life and actions will ruin us. But if we are Godly, He will be with us, protect us and guide us. So, why do we worry about 666? Evil things come from our heart (Matthew 15:19). Jesus said this. At times, some people try to chase all the devils away from a house or colony or village, and amusingly, thereafter, they think that they would be good or free from evil. I’m not arguing that chasing evil spirit is wrong. I don’t deny the existence of evil spirit,

but the belief that if evil spirits are chased out we would be from evil is a fallacy. For an ‘evil box’ is in ‘human heart’. Why do we dread so much about satan who can torture us but do not worry about our evil deeds which rebel God and demolish us? If God relents from helping us, satan could torment us. Thus, ultimately trouble and agony is caused by us. I think it’s reasonable to worry about our evil actions more than the number 666. Our inability to live a good life and do good deeds is as problematic as the presence of evil on earth. The wish that ‘if evil does not exist, life would be good’, is like wishing, ‘If I do not exist, I would be good’. We often do the evil things which we don’t want. “We question why

Lucifer was proud and conceive evil thoughts in heaven: Lucifer might ask why humans are like me”. When we watch a football match, we dislike the team or the players who are unruly and undisciplined. We even detest our favorite players when they are rude in the field and play rough game. Like we want them to be gentle, polite and cool in the football ground, if we have that same intensity of desire to change our bad habits and qualities, I believe we would become better human beings. Cigarette is not good for health; smoking cigarette kills. But, cigarette is not evil. Many surmise that if satan does not exist, we would be good: It is like a dirty man wanting his neighbor to maintain cleanliness. Liba Hopeson

NEW DELHI, JUL 20 (AGENCIES): Congress president Rahul Gandhi said in the Lok Sabha on Friday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi ruled out of fear, and that fear had turned into anger now. During the debate on the no-confidence motion against the government, Gandhi said, “The Prime Minister and the BJP president are a different type of politicians. They are not like us [Congress]. We are okay with winning and losing, staying in and out of power. But they cannot afford to lose power.

They fear losing power. It is this fear that is turning as anger.” Gandhi then went to hug Modi on the floor of House, after saying that he has no anger towards the Prime Minister. “I thank the Prime Minister for showing me the importance of Congress, the true meaning of Lord Shiva. I know I am a pappu for you, but I don’t have any anger against you,” said the Amethi MP. Gandhi said that the government was known for “jumla strikes.” Referring to TDP member Jay-

Governor Acharya and Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio at Raj Bhavan Kohima on July 20.

D I M A P U R , J UL 2 0 (NPN): State chief minister, Neiphiu Rio, Friday called on the governor of Nagaland, PB Acharya at Raj Bhavan Kohima. According to a Raj Bhavan statement, the governor discussed matters of public interest and expressed the desire for

the government to take prompt action to promote the welfare of the people. The two also discussed various issues related to the State during the one and a half hour long meeting. Later, deputy chief minister, Y Patton, also called on the governor.

adev Galla, who began the debate, he said, “I heard Mr. Galla’s speech very carefully. In your speech, I sensed a certain anxiety and a deep feeling of pain. I want to tell you that you are the victim of a 21st century political weapon. The political weapon is called the jumla strike.” He described it as a great sense of excitement, happiness, followed by a feeling of shock and eighthour long speeches. Mr. Gandhi then went on to list what he considered as such strikes — `15 lakh in each citizen’s bank account, jobs for two crore youths. “China has given 50,000 youths jobs in 24 hours, while this government has given only 400 youths jobs in 24 hours,” he said. He added that GST was brought in by the Congress. “You opposed it as Gujarat Chief Minister,” he said. “The PM’s GST has five different GSTs, and you sent the Income Tax department to small businesses.” He said that the Prime Minister spoke only to “suit-boot” corporates and not small businessmen.

“The Prime Minister’s face comes on the Jio ad. It means he only cares about the rich.” When Gandhi began alleging that corporates had a vested interest in the government, Treasury Bench members rose to protest and the House was adjourned for 10 minutes. Gandhi shifted his attention to the Rafale fighter aircraft deal. He said Mr. Modi and Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had lied to the country. “Why was the contract taken away from HAL and the youngsters of Karnataka, and given to a businessman who has a debt of `30,000 crore” he asked. Sitharaman responded to Gandhi’s statement by saying that the agreement of secrecy was signed by the then Defence Minister and this agreement clearly mentioned that the value of the jets cannot be disclosed. Quoting a media report, Sitharaman said the French President had said if the confidentiality clause was violated, the government would take it seriously.

Insurance for two, four-wheelers mandatory: SC

No-confidence motion against Modi govt defeated...

New Delhi, Jul 20 (IANS): Concerned over poor compliance of third party insurance of vehicles that puts all road users at risk, the Supreme Court on Friday said three-year insurance policy for four wheelers and five-year policy for two wheelers at the time of sale and registration should be made mandatory. A bench of Justice Madan B. Lokur and Justice Deepak Gupta said that third party insurance for three and five years be made mandatory for four and two wheelers respectively so that victims of road accidents could get compensation. “Third party insurance has to be mandatory,” they said. The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) however told the bench that third party insurance should not be made mandatory and the regulator was also looking into the issue and sought eight months time to decide on the issue.

(From p-1) The whole country has watched the game he played with his eyes, Modi said, evoking laughter from treasury benches as he gestured with his hands, apparently referring to Gandhi’s wink in the House following his speech. If Gandhi kept Modi in his line of fire through his speech, it was the turn of the Congress’ ruling family when the prime minister spoke. “The country is not unaware of the history of one family which stoked political instability in the country time and again for its selfish interests,” he said. Earlier, Rahul led the charge for the Congress when he targeted prime minister Narendra Modi but could not deliver the punch and instead landed in controversy over his

It also asked the department to furnish details against what projects and locations the amounts were released. PDR also appealed the Planning department to inform the public as to whether it publicly notifies on such financial assistance and the requirements/ eligibilities thereof. It alleged that the many such beneficiaries under the Planning department are clandestinely selected without making open invitation through local dailies, ignoring the deserving citizens.

claim that French president Macron denied any ‘confidential clause’ in the Rafale jet deal. Rahul had attacked the Modi government for renegotiating the price of the French jet from Rs.520 crore by the UPA government to Rs.1600 crore each by the Modi government. In the end, the opposition charge ended on a light note after Rahul ended his rhetorical speech by walking to the other side and hugging Modi who was taken aback and unprepared for such a show.

Rahul stands by his remarks on ‘secrecy pact’ in Rafale deal New Delhi, Jul 20 (IANS): Even as France on Friday denied that Rahul Gandhi had been told by French President Emmanuel Macron that there was no secrecy pact with India on the Rafale jet deal, the Congress President stood by his remarks saying that these were made in presence of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and party leader Anand Sharma. “Let them deny it if they want. He (Macron) said that before me. I was there, Anand Sharma and Dr Manmohan Singh were also there,” Gandhi told reporters here. Following Gandhi’s remarks made during the debate on the no-confidence motion in the Lok Sabha, the French government issued a statement that there was a legally-binding agreement security agreement binding the two countries which also covers the agreement to purchase the Rafale fighter jets by India. It also said that the French President had indicated publicly in an interview that the deal was very sensitive and all details

cannot be revealed. Gandhi had said in Lok Sabha that there was no secrecy pact with India on the Rafale jet deal, alleging that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had lied to the nation about it. “I personally met the French President and asked him if there was a secrecy pact with India. He told me that no such pact was signed between the two countries. He said he had no hesitation in saying this and that I can tell this to my country,” he said. Gandhi said the price per plane during the UPA regime was Rs 520 crore but when Prime Minister Narendra Modi went to France and “with some magic” powers, the price per plane increased to Rs 1,600 crore.

France denies

France on Friday denied Congress President Rahul Gandhis remarks that French President Emmanuel Macron had told him that there was no secrecy pact with India on

the Rafale jet deal and said there was a legally-binding agreement security agreement binding the two countries which also covers the agreement to purchase the fighter jets by India. A French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs spokesman said in a statement that they had noted the remarks of Gandhi in Parliament. “France and India concluded in 2008 a security agreement, which legally binds the two states to protect the classified information provided by the partner, that could impact security and operational capabilities of the defence equipment of India or France. “These provisions naturally apply to the IGA (Inter-government agreement) concluded on September 23, 2016 on the acquisition of 36 Rafale aircraft and their weapons. As the President of the French Republic indicated publicly in an interview given to India Today March 9, 2018, when a deal is very sensitive, we can’t reveal all details,” he said.

a tool to indulge in dictatorship. In order to seek votes, big promises are made. They play with the sentiments of the people for political gains. But the election jumlas (rhetoric) never become a reality,” it said. The Uddhav Thackeray-led party said the mandate with which this government came to power is doubtful. “When there is a question mark on one’s win, one should not talk about majority.” “Since the elections are being won only through the use of money, misuse of power and tampering of EVMs, democracy has become a mere scarecrow and the entire fight is now for saving this scarecrow,” it added. Although the government is patting its back for accepting the no-confidence motion, it had no choice as it could have otherwise led to the washout of the Monsoon session, it claimed. Stating that the Telugu Desam Party, which moved the no-trust motion was once a part of the NDA and Swabhimani Shetkari Sanghatana leader Raju Shetti, who spearheaded the milk agitation in Maharashtra, was also an ally, the Sena asked the government to “introspect” why they quit the alliance.

Mumbai, Jul 20 (PTI): Slamming the Narendra Modi-led NDA government, which faces a no-confidence motion in Lok Sabha today, its ally Shiv Sena said that those ruling the country are “butchers, who save animals but kill humans”. In an editorial in its mouthpiece ‘Saamana’, the Sena doubted the mandate with which the Modi government came to power, alleging elections were won through money, misuse of power and tampering of electronic voting machines (EVMs). “Those ruling the country today are butchers, who save animals but kill humans. There is absolute lack of compassion(in the minds of the rulers)... Winning elections and remaining in power by hook or crook is not democracy. Majority is never permanent. Country’s people are supreme,” it said. The Sena, which is in alliance with the BJP at the Centre and in Maharashtra, said even the Opposition knows that it does not have the numbers to dislodge this government. “This noconfidence motion has not been brought to pull down the Modi government, but to give it a sound thrashing,” it said. “Winning majority no longer means it is peoples’ mandate.

RBI tells SC reason why crypto currencies are banned

NEW DELHI, Jul 20 (PTI): The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Friday told the Supreme Court that allowing dealings in crypto currencies like Bitcoins would encourage illegal transactions and it has already issued a circular prohibiting use of these virtual currencies. Crypto currencies are “a stateless digital currency” in which encryption techniques are used for trading and these ‘currencies’ operate independently of a central bank like the RBI, “rendering it immune from government interference”. A bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra was informed by senior advocate Shyam Divan, appearing for the RBI, that a committee has been set up by the Centre to deal with the issues relating to crypto currencies and the matters required a final and early decision from the top court. The federal bank and the central government sought three weeks time from the bench, which also comprised justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud, for filing their

responses to a clutch of petitions on the issue. The bench granted time to the Centre and the RBI for filing responses and fixed the petitions for final hearing on September 11. Earlier, the apex court, on May 17, had transferred to itself the petitions pending in various high courts on virtual currencies and barred them from entertaining any plea in future relating to an RBI circular prohibiting dealings in such currencies. “There shall be a stay of further proceedings in the cases sought to be transferred. It is further directed that no High Court shall entertain any petition relating to the circular No dated April 6, 2018 issued by the Reserve Bank of India on ‘Prohibition on dealing in Virtual Currencies’,” the bench had ordered. The apex court had also sought the assistance of Attorney General K K Venugopal in the matter. One of the petitions was filed by Siddharth Dalmia and Vijay Pal Dalmia and they had said

that the RBI, through its circular, had directed the banks and financial institutions to freeze the bank accounts of those individuals and companies dealing in the illegal trade of virtual currencies. Dalmia, in his plea, has sought a direction to the Centre to take steps to restrain sale and purchase of illegal crypto currencies like Bitcoins, which were being traded openly for “illegal activities” like funding terrorism and insurgency. The petitioners said the RBI had in 2013 issued a cautionary advisory to the users, holders and traders of virtual currency about the “potential financial, operational, legal, customer protection and security related risks that they are exposing themselves to”. Again on February 1 last year, the RBI, through a press release, had advised that it had not given any licence or authorisation to any entity or company to operate such schemes or deal with Bitcoins or any other virtual currency. The plea said the Ministry of Finance has constituted an inter-disciplinary

committee under the chairmanship of Special Secretary (Economic Affairs) to examine the regulatory framework with regard to virtual currency. It alleged that the RBI “has shrugged aside its duty to conclusively take a stand either in favour or against the illegal virtual currencies like Bitcoins in the interest of people of India”. “A virtual currency like Bitcoin is a stateless digital currency in which encryption techniques are used to regulate the generation of units of currency and verify the transfer of funds, operating independently of a central bank like the RBI, rendering it immune from government interference,” it said. The plea has sought direction to the Centre to declare as illegal and ban all illegal virtual currencies, crypto currencies or decentralised digital such as Bitcoins, litecoins, bbqcoins, dogecoins etc and investigate and fix accountability on the sale and purchase of virtual currencies till date and prosecute the offenders.

Petrol, diesel prices set for a sharp drop NEW DELHI, Jul 20 (Agencies): Petrol and diesel rates are set for a sharp drop after global crude oil prices tumbled nearly $7 a barrel in nine days. On Thursday, petrol and diesel were cheaper by 6 paise and 12 paise a litre, respectively. The cut is expected to get deeper. In Delhi, petrol and diesel were available for Rs 76.78 and Rs 68.35 per litre, respectively. State oil companies fix domestic rates of petrol and diesel based on international fuel prices, the exchange rate and taxes. They have the freedom to pass on all hikes and reductions daily to consumers, but have lately begun to wait for signals from the government to do so. That’s why local prices don’t always mimic international trends. Lower prices would bring relief to the government and the ruling party, which has faced public anger over rising prices and calls for duty cuts to bring down local fuel rates. International crude oil prices have declined sharply in the past 10 days, with Brent going close to $72 a barrel on Thursday.

Microsoft surpasses $100 bn revenue for first time

San Francisco, Jul 20 (IANS): Riding on its growing Intelligent Cloud portfolio and early investments in Intelligent Edge, Microsoft has surpassed $100 billion in revenue for the first time in fiscal year 2018. For the fourth quarter that ended on June 30, the tech giant reported revenue of $30.1 billion and net income of $8.9 billion. Revenue has increased 17 per cent year over year, and net income is up 35 per cent, the company said in a statement late on Thursday. Microsoft stock jumped over 4 per cent in after-hours trading as it beat Wall Street expectations. “We had an incredible year, surpassing $100 billion in revenue as a result of our teams’ relentless focus on customer success and the trust customers are placing in Microsoft,” said Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft.

“Our early investments in the intelligent cloud and intelligent edge are paying off, and we will continue to expand our reach in large and growing markets with differentiated innovation,” he added. Microsoft returned $5.3 billion to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, an increase of 16 per cent compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017. “Exceptional sales execution delivered doubledigit revenue growth across all segments and strong progress against our strategic priorities, anchored by commercial cloud revenue growing 53 per cent yearover-year to $6.9 billion,” said Amy Hood, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Microsoft. The tech giant this week touched $800 bil-

lion valuation for the first time. Office commercial products and Cloud services revenue increased 10 per cent, driven by Office 365 commercial revenue growth of 38 per cent. Revenue in Intelligent Cloud was $9.6 billion and increased 23 per cent. “Office consumer products and cloud services revenue increased 8 per cent and Office 365 consumer subscribers increased to 31.4 million,” Microsoft said, adding that LinkedIn revenue increased 37 per cent. Server products and cloud services revenue increased 26 per cent driven by Azure revenue growth of 89 per cent. Revenue in Personal Computing was $10.8 billion and increased 17 per cent. Gaming revenue increased 39 per cent, with Xbox software and services revenue growth of 36 per cent. “Surface notebook revenue increased 25 per cent driven by strong performance of the latest editions of Surface against a low prior year comparable,” the company said.

Trump ‘ready’ to intensify trade war with China Washington, Jul 20 (IANS): US President Donald Trump has said he is ready to intensify his trade war with China by slapping tariffs on all imports worth $500 billion. “I’m ready to go to 500,” he told CNBC’s Joe Kernen in a “Squawk Box” interview broadcasted on Friday. The reference was to the dollar amount of Chinese exports to the US in 2017 -- $505.5 billion to be exact, compared to the $129.9 billion worth of Chinese imports from the US, according to the Census Bureau data. Last week, Washington listed $200 billion worth of additional Chinese products it intends to place under the tariff regime on as soon as September. The list named more than 6,000 items including food products, minerals and consumer goods such as handbags, to be subjected to a 10 per cent tariff. It is still under public consultation that will go on till the end of August. The US and China already imposed tit-for-tat tariffs of $34 billion on each other’s goods. “I’m not doing this for politics, I’m doing this to do the right thing for our country,” Trump said. “We have been ripped off by China for a long time.” The President said the

US was “being taken advantage of ” on a number of fronts, including trade and monetary policy. Yet he said he has not pushed the tariffs out of any ill will towards China. “I don’t want them to be scared. I want them to do well,” he said. “I really like President Xi Jinping a lot, but it was very unfair.” Trump also said he was told by unspecified Chinese officials that “nobody would ever complain” from past administrations “until you came along - me. They said, ‘Now you’re more than complaining. We don’t like what you’re doing.’” The US also wants China to stop practices that allegedly encourage transfer of intellectual property -design and product ideas -to Chinese companies, such as requirements that foreign firms share ownership with local partners to access the Chinese market. Trump previously hinted at such an escalation, telling reporters two weeks ago that there was “$300 billion in abeyance” after the $200 billion of goods covered by the latest list, but this is his most explicit threat yet. Many companies in the US are opposed to the administration’s use of tariffs against China, saying they risk hurting business and the economy without being likely to change behaviour.

Trump tops Google image search results for ‘idiot’

SAN FRANCISCO, Jul 20 (IANS): US President Donald Trump and Google algorithms are again hogging the limelight. This time for showing images of Donald Trump for a search of the word “idiot”. The latest image onslaught is apparently the result of a campaign by online activists who are manipulating Google’’s algorithm by linking the word to an image of Trump, CNET reported. The Guardian reported that the trend began with Reddit users upvoting a post containing a photo of Trump and the word. The campaign to link the word “idiot” with the Trump’s images has taken the form of an online protest as it is spearheaded by people who are not happy with Trump’’s policies. By helping prioritise information presented in search results, Google’’s algorithms have played stellar role in the rise of the company.

South Korea’s ex-president Park sentenced to 8 more years in prison Seoul, Jul 20 (Agencies): Disgraced former South Korean president Park Geun-hye was convicted of charges including illegally receiving funds from the country’s spy agency Friday and given eight more years in prison, on top of her current term, AFP reported. Park, the South’s first female president, was impeached last year after huge street protests over a sprawling scandal, and was jailed for 24 years for corruption and abuse of power in April. Today’s penalty - issued in her absence after she refused to attend the Seoul Central District Court - came after a separate trial for pocketing money from the National Intelligence Service (NIS) and improperly intervening in 2016 in the selection of her ruling party’s parliamentary candidates. The Seoul Central District Court gave Park six years for taking 3.3 billion won (USD 2.9 million) from the spy agency, and two years for the electoral offence. The penalties apply consecutively, meaning the 66-year-old now faces a total

of 32 years in prison. “The accused received some three billion won over three years from the three NIS chiefs. Through this crime, the accused incurred a considerable amount of loss to the state treasury,” said senior judge Seong Chang-ho. Three for mer NIS chiefs testified they had funnelled the funds to Park on her orders, the court said. The judge rebuked Park, who denied the charges, for being “un-cooperative” throughout the court hearing and questioning by prosecutors. Park allegedly squandered the taxpayer money on maintaining her private house, financing a boutique where her secret confidante Choi Soon-sil - the central figure in the corruption scandal - had Park’s clothes made and other private purposes, including massage

Lon d on , J u l 2 0 (Agencies): A senior French presidential aide is to be dismissed from his job, officials say, after footage emerged of protesters in Paris being attacked by a man wearing a police visor, BBC reported. The action against Alexandre Benalla was taken after “new facts” emerged in the case, French President Emmanuel Macron’s office said on Friday. Mr Benalla is being questioned over the footage of the May Day protests. There were calls for him to be sacked after he was identified in a newspaper. Police are questioning Mr Benalla, an assistant to Mr Macron’s chief of staff, over footage filmed by a student activist showing a woman and a man being beaten during the demonstrations on 1 May. French newspaper Le Monde identified the attacker as Mr Benalla. While he faces ques-

tions over the assault, prosecutors said on Friday that he is also facing charges of impersonating a police officer. In May, a few days after the incident, Mr Benalla was given a two-week suspension, but nothing was reported to prosecutors. The BBC’s Hugh Schofield in Paris says that this suggests that Mr Macron’s office may have already been aware of his actions. A source close to the inquiry said that three police officers had also been suspended on suspicion of providing Mr

Benalla with surveillance footage of the demonstration in an attempt to prove his innocence, Le Monde reports. The incident took place in a popular tourist spot at Place de la Contrescarpe in the fifth district of Paris, where about 100 people had gathered on 1 May. The original video, posted on social media by 21-year-old Taha Bouhafs, shows a man in a police helmet who is not in uniform joining CRS riot police after clashes erupted. He grabs a woman

treatment. Choi was found to have taken advantage of her “long private ties” with Park to extort bribes worth millions of dollars from businesses including telecommunications giant Samsung and retail conglomerate Lotte. She is serving a 20-year sentence for abuse of power, bribery and meddling in state affairs. Earlier today, prosecutors asked an appeals court to extend Park’s sentence for her corruption and abuse of power conviction to 30 years, arguing the original penalty was too lenient. They also asked for her fine to be multiplied sixfold to 118.5 billion won. “The accused has never repented or made any sincere apology before the people,” prosecutors said in a statement. “And since October 2017, she has never made any appearance at court.” Park’s own lawyers asked for her conviction to be overturned, saying she made no gains herself when businesses “donated” funds to foundations controlled by Choi, and that her impeachment and ouster meant she had already taken “political responsibility” for the case.

Singapore, Jul 20 (IANS): The personal health data of 1.5 million people, almost a quarter of the population, including the details of the city-state’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, have been hacked, a Health Ministry statement said on Friday. The data of Lee, including information on his outpatient dispensed medicines, was “specifically and repeatedly targeted”. He has survived cancer twice. The hackers broke into the government health database in a “deliberate, targeted and well-planned” attack, according to the government statement cited by the BBC. The hack compromised patients’ names, identity card (NRIC) number, address, gender, race and dates of

4, according to the government. Following the hack, SingHealth has temporarily banned staff from accessing the Internet on all 28,000 of its work computers, according to the Straits Times. The move was aimed at plugging leaks from work emails and shared documents as well as guarding against possible cyber-attacks. Other public healthcare institutions were expected to do the same. SingHealth would be contacting the patients who had visited its specialist outpatient clinics and polyclinics during the period of hack to notify them of the breach. The Health Ministry also ordered a review of the public healthcare system, to improve cyber threat prevention, detection and response. “The government takes a serious view of any cyber attack, illegal access of data or action that compromises the confidentiality of data in Singapore,” the statement said, adding that an inquiry committee would be conducting an external probe of the breach.

auled up second time by the government on its failure to check the spread of fake and provocative content on its platform amid growing lynching episodes, the Facebook-owned platform on Friday said it is launching a test to limit message forwarding to five chats that will apply to its users in India. In its second notice on Thursday, the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) took a tough stand, asking WhatsApp to come out with more effective solutions that can bring in accountability and facilitate enforcement of law in addition to their efforts towards labelling forwards and identifying fake news. “It has been conveyed to them in unmistakable terms that it is a very serious issue which deserves a more sensitive response,” MeitY said in the notice. WhatsApp reacted: “In India, where people forward more messages, photos, and videos than any other country in the world, we’ll also test a lower limit of 5 chats at once.

“We will also remove the quick forward button next to media messages,” WhatsApp said in a statement. The test, once comes to practice, will curtail WhatsApp’s services for over 200 million users in India. Globally, the company allows users to forward messages for up to 20 chats (either individuals or groups).

Dolly Parton opens up about her career

olly Parton, who started singing when she was just 10 years old, had to struggle before becoming the country music megastar she is today. The 37-time Grammy nominee grew up poor with her 11 siblings in the mountains of East Tennessee where they had no running water “unless we’d run and get it,” she said in an interview on Reese Witherspoon’s new DirecTV series, “Shine On With Reese,” which aired this week. But having nothing didn’t stop the “Jolene” singer from going out and doing what she had to do to live out her

dreams. “Daddy didn’t want me getting out in the world,” she told Witherspoon. “He didn’t even want me to go to school — but that wasn’t in a bad way he was just afraid something bad was gonna happen to his girls.” She continued, “But Momma knew that I had a strength. She knew I knew what I wanted and who I was so she would fight for me a lot when I’d wanted to go places Daddy didn’t want me to go to sing, like to Nashville with my Uncle Bill.” When she hit the road to perform, Parton had to get creative with her lodging. “We’d sleep in the car, that was our room,” she said. “My bedroom was the backseat and [Bill’s] was the front seat.” The big-haired country crooner had to create her own special beauty regimen to look the part. “I’d wash my hair in the filling station bathrooms and put makeup on in the side mirror of the car, and that was just how you did it,” she quipped.

Moving data between any two services can be complicated because every service is built differently and uses different types of data that may require unique privacy controls and settings. “For example, you might use an app where you share photos publicly, a social networking app where you share updates with friends, and a fitness app for tracking your workouts,” said Satterfield. “These are the kinds of issues the Data Transfer Project will tackle.

team during the October 8-16, 2018 FIFA window. Though the date for the friendly will be decided in coming days, AIFF has proposed Saturday, October 13, as the match day. India and China have each other faced 17 times, all on Indian soil -- the last being 21 years ago in the Nehru Cup in Kochi in 1997.

Recently, the India U-16 national team visited China for an invitational four nation tournament, which also included U-16 Thailand and U-16 DPR Korea. The October friendly assumes huge importance as it will set the pace for India’s preparatory process for the AFC Asian Cup in January.

Terming the occasion as ‘historic’, AIFF general secretary Kushal Das said, “China and India are today being seen as the two fastest emerging football markets, globally. We are happy to have come to the conclusion of our month long discussion with the Chinese FA, and I thank our marketing partners FSDL for their involvement and cooperation.” “The oppor tunity presents us with an opportunity not just break the two-decade deadlock, but also provides us a chance to revive the neighbouring rivalry,” he added. India are yet to win a match against China. Off the past 17 matches, 12 have gone in favour of China while rest five were drawn. However, the senior team has been on upsurge over the last couple of years, maintaining an unbeaten run of 12 official matches for a span which extended from June 2016 to November 2017.

Rashid open to Test recall against India London, Jul 20 (Agencies): England leg-spinner Adil Rashid has said he is open to the possibility of making a Test return for the series against India, just months after he opted out of playing red-ball cricket to concentrate on shorter formats. The 30-year-old signed a white-ball-only contract with Yorkshire in February though he did not completely rule out a comeback to multiday matches at the time. Rashid played his 10th and last Test against India at Chennai in December 2016 but was overlooked for home series against South Africa and West Indies as well as the subsequent Ashes tour. He was England’s best bowler in their 2-1 triumph in the one-day series against India which concluded earlier this week, prompting talk of a possible Test return. “Right now I’m focussing on white-ball cricket for Yorkshire... but if England do want me to be part of the squad for the Test series against India then I’ll consider it,” Rashid wrote in his diary for Sky Sports.

CAS annuls AC Milan Europa League ban Nyon, Jul 20 (Agencies): The Court of Arbitration for Sport on Friday overturned a European ban imposed on AC Milan for violating UEFA’s financial fair play rules, calling the punishment “not proportionate.” UEFA banned Milan from playing in next season’s Europa League citing the club’s failure to meet the “break-even requirement,” which bars clubs from taking on debt to fund daily operations. But CAS in statement ruled that “some important elements have not been properly assessed,” by UEFA judges, notably that the “current financial situation of the club was now better following the recent change in the club’s ownership.” CAS referred the case back to UEFA as requested by AC Milan, whose executives appeared at the Lausanne-based court on Thursday to argue their case. The court “considers that the (UEFA’s) Adjudicatory Chamber is in a better position than the CAS Panel to issue a new proportionate disciplinary measure on the basis of the current financial situation of the club,” the statement said. AC Milan have spent a troubled 15 months since they were bought by Chinese businessman Li Yonghong from Silvio Berlusconi in April 2017. The takeover was partly funded by a high-interest loan of 300 million euros ($348 million) from American hedge fund Elliott Management. When Milan failed to make a repayment at the start of July, Elliott moved to take over, a process which is due to be ratified by club

shareholders on July 21. The Chinese owners spent more than 200 million euros on players last summer and that, combined with the terms of the Elliott loan, triggered the interest of UEFA. At the end of June, UEFA ruled that Milan were in breach of “the break-even requirement.” AC Milan’s managing director Marco Fassone has blamed the club’s woes on Berlusconi.

Spain taxes chased Ronaldo away, says Tebas However, Tebas believes the move was also partially motivated by money, noting that the player will able to earn more in Italy. “He’ll earn more money than here,” Tebas told Marca TV. “I think that fiscally it favours him to go to Italy. Here, in Spain, we have a problem with fiscal competition. Out of the biggest leagues, Spain is where the players have the worst tax situation.” “It’s not that elsewhere

the rate is so much lower, but when you’re earning significant sums then these little differences in rates translate to a lot of money for the players.” The five-time Ballon d’Or winner and Madrid’s all-time leading scorer’s issues with the Spanish tax authority in recent years was said to be a factor in his desire to leave the capital, as he suggested last year that he wanted to return to England because of the charges. Ronaldo faced a minor

Madrid, Jul 20 (Agencies): Spain’s high tax rate was a contributing factor in Cristiano Ronaldo’s decision to join Juventus, according to La Liga president Javier Tebas. Ronaldo ended his nine-year association with Real Madrid when he agreed a switch to the Serie A champions worth €112 million (£100m/$130m), signing a four-year contract.

Nagaland Post, Dimapur SATURDAY, JULY 21, 2018

Man Utd held in pre-season opener Liverpool sign Alisson for £65m; immediately after with a curling right-footed effort from inside the box, while 18-year-old Chong was handed 30 minutes by Jose Mourinho for his senior debut. Mason Greenwood, 16, was also brought on for his debut with 15 minutes remaining as the midfielder replaced Shaw, but it was Chong who played his part in the equaliser. Finding a yard to cross

from the right, Chong’s fine delivery found Herrera’s head, and though his effort from an angle came off the post, Mata was there to strike low as the ball somehow found its way into the net. United now face San Jose Earthquakes on Sunday in Santa Clara, California before a clash with AC Milan in the International Champions Cup on Thursday in LA.

Valencia will be captain: Mourinho

Juan Mata celebrates with his team-mates after scoring the equalizer during the opening pre-season match against Club America in Phoenix.

Phoenix, Jul 20 ( Ag e n c i e s ) : M a n chester United were held 1-1 by Mexican side Club America in their opening pre-season match in Phoenix on Friday. Missing many of their senior players due to World Cup participation, United hit the post through Juan Mata in the first half before Henry Martin gave Club America the lead with a fine header (60). Mata then levelled for United (78), rebounding low after Ander Herrera’s header had hit the post, with youngster Tahith Chong impressing from

the bench. There were opportunities for both sides during a goalless first half, with Mata going closest for United, hitting the righthand post from 15 yards with a low, left-footed effort through a crowded box. Lee Grant was handed his Manchester United debut following his move from Stoke, and he made two good saves in quick succession, first low down to his right from Paul Aguilar, before stopping Osvaldo Martinez’s effort and reacting bravely to dive on the rebound.

Club America, who start their season next week, looked more energetic second half and dominated the early stages. Joel Pereira, who replaced Grant at half time, did well to stop Martinez after being put through one-onone, but Club America’s goal eventually came after pressure on the hour mark. A left-wing cross found Martin in-between United centre-backs Eric Bailly and Chris Smalling, but he still did well to bullet a header past Pereira from 12 yards. Luke Shaw went close

Four captains reported approaches to ACU: ICC New Delhi, Jul 20 (PTI): The International Cricket Council (ICC) has revealed that four international captains reported approaches to the governing body’s Anti Corruption Unit between June 1, 2017 and May 31, 2018. The Inter national Cricket Council, in its annual report, mentioned that it conducted 18 investigations between June 2017 and May 2018, 17 of which were launched after the arrival of Anti Corruption Unit General Manager Alex Marshall on September 1 last year. “There has been a pleasing increase in the number of players having the confidence to approach the Anti Corruption Unit with reports of suspicious activity. Four international captains reported approaches during 2017-18 and every avenue was explored,” said the International Cricket Council in the report. Out of 18 investigations, five have been concluded while charges

were brought in four cases, claimed the governing body. “There were five disruptions - where individuals who are not directly involved in cricket have their corrupt activities disrupted - and 13 investigations remained ongoing as at May 31, 2018.” “Two of the investigations were media stings, one investigation exonerated a groundsman and several players whilst the other is ongoing,” said the report. However, with the mushrooming T20 leagues around the world, ICC conceded that the challenge to root out corruption from the game is bigger than ever. “These leagues range from well managed - in anti-corruption terms - global

events through to those organised entirely for the purposes of corruption. The most obvious example of the latter is the Ajman All Stars event which took place in the UAE in early 2018.” “Going forward, it is intended to set minimum standards in anti-corruption to cover all the new T20 leagues across the world because it is not possible to police every one of those matches in person,” stated the report further. The ICC said that over the course of 201718, a total of 1468 players, support staff and match officials have been educated at 12 international events: six International Cricket Council global events including 2017 Champions Trophy and the Women’s World Cup.

Jose Mourinho has revealed that Antonio Valencia will be Manchester United’s captain for the 2018-19 season. Michael Carrick had been the club’s nominal captain last season, but played just five times in all competitions before retiring in May. With Carrick moving into a coaching role with the Red Devils, they had no designated captain for the new campaign, but Mourinho has provided clarity by naming the experienced Ecuador international as the new club captain. Valencia appeared in 31 Premier League games last season, but Mourinho hinted that he may not always wear the armband in 2018-19, with other players set to step into the role when the 32-year-old is absent. Mourinho named four players likely to inherit the role if Valencia misses out, while also indicating that summer 2017 signing Nemanja Matic is also being considered but may have to wait until he spends more time at Old Trafford. “Valencia will be the captain but when he doesn’t play, we have to make decisions – it depends who is on the pitch,” Mourinho told the club’s official website. “If [Chris] Smalling is, if Ashley Young is, if [Ander] Herrera is or if [Juan] Mata is, if they are on the pitch, they are an option. I think Matic has all the attributes to be Manchester United captain but of course he only arrived one year ago. But for me, I don’t care too much about the captaincy, I care more about the life in the dressing room.”

Archery WC: Indian mixed team in bronze play-off Berlin, Jul 20 (PTI): Compound mixed pair of Abhishek Verma and Jyothi Surekha Vennam kept India in the hunt for a second medal, advancing to the bronze play-off at the stage four of the Archery World Cup in Berlin on Friday. The recurve archers, on the other hand, continued their poor show, making a quarter-final exit in the mixed pair event. The duo of Atanu Das and Deepika Kumari were blown away by the Chinese Taipei pair of Tan Ya-Ting and Wei Chun-Heng 0-6. A day after women’s compound team advanced to the final to be assured of a medal, Jyothi partnered Verma in a dream run that saw them ousting top seed Netherlands 158-155 in the quarter-finals. But their run was halted in the semi-finals when they lost narrowly to USA pair of Kris Schaff and Paige Pearce Gore. India will fight it out against Turkey in the bronze play-off while Jyothi, along with Trisha Deb and Muskan Kirar, will fight for gold against France in the women’s compound team summit clash.

becomes most expensive keeper

Lo n d o n, J u l 2 0 (Agencies): Liverpool have completed the £65million ($85m) signing of Alisson Becker from Roma. The Brazilian has signed a six-year deal at Anfield and becomes the most expensive goalkeeper in history by doing so. He is the Reds’ fourth signing of what is becoming an impressive summer for Jurgen Klopp’s side, joining Naby Keita, Fabinho and Xherdan Shaqiri in moving to Merseyside. Liverpool identified the 25-year-old as their preferred choice to be the club’s No.1 last season, and worked hard this summer to thrash out a deal with Roma, who were reluctant to lose one of their star men to the Reds for the second year in a row. Indeed, the £36.9m deal which took Mohamed Salah to Anfield last summer was discussed during the clubs’ negotiations for this deal. The Italians’ initial asking price of £90m, quoted to Liverpool back in January, was seen as excessive but it was made clear in the past month that the Serie A club would settle for a deal closer to £75m, and that the player was keen on a move to Merseyside. Talks progressed quickly this week as Liverpool sought to head off competition from Chelsea, with a deal agreed as the London-

ers waited to sell Thibaut Courtois to Real Madrid. Anfield sources have told Goal that Liverpool will pay £56m up front for Alisson, with £2.2m of that going to his former club, Internacional. A further £9m could be paid in add-ons, which are dependent on Champions League qualification as well as Premier League and European wins. Upon signing with the Reds, Alisson told the club’s official website: “I’m really happy, it’s a dream come true to wear such a prestigious shirt for a club of this size that is used to always winning. “In terms of my life and my career, it’s a huge step for me being part of this club and this family. You can be certain that I’ll give

my all.” Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was pleased with the signing, saying he needed to have a conversation with the club’s owners but they were on board with the move. “At one point in the last few weeks it came up, the opportunity to sign one of the world’s best goalkeepers - then it’s not a long thought, to be honest, it’s only that you need to have a little talk with the owners!” Klopp told the club’s website. “They were quite excited, so we did it.” However, Klopp dismissed concerns over Alisson’s price, citing the realities of the market. “He has nothing to do with the price, we have nothing to do with the price, it’s the market...,” he added.

Hockey WC: Indian eves to face hosts England Lo n d o n, J u l 2 0 (IANS): The mood among the Indian women’s hockey team is upbeat as they are set to take on hosts England in their opening match of the World Cup here on Saturday. India, grouped in Pool B, will take on World No.16 Ireland on 26 July followed by World No.7 US on 29 July apart from facing the Olympic Champions England in their home ground on the opening day of the prestigious tournament. “The pressure will be on England and not on us,” asserted Indian Team skipper Rani on the eve of the match. “Yes they will have the home ground advantage but we are not new to playing in front of big crowds. We have done well against England before and we will carry the confidence of doing well in our recent tournaments including the CWG where we had tasted victory against England in the Group Stage in Gold Coast. We will go into the match with the belief that we can beat them. We just need to make sure we don’t make silly mistakes like we did in the Bronze Medal match at the CWG which

cost us the game,” Rani added. India’s previous appearance at the FIH World Cup was in 2010 when the event was held in Argentina. Rani then was the cynosure of India’s ninthplace performance as she had scored maximum of seven goals for the team during the course of the tournament. While there will be a lot riding on Rani during the World Cup 2018 too, she has a unit that has shown confidence-inspiring performance over the past two years where India even climbed to a career-best

ranking of World No.10. After having arrived in London a week prior to the start of the tournament, the Indian Team has had good training sessions at the event venue Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Stadium including two practice matches against Australia and Belgium. “We have had good match practice

against two of the top teams in the World. The team is upbeat and excited ahead of the first match and right now, our only focus is to do well against England. We have played USA and Ireland too in the past and have specific game plan against them. But for now, our focus is on the first match,” Rani said.
