Naga solution by 2019: Acharya Correspondent

KOHIMA, JUL 20 (NPN): Outgoing Nagaland Governor, P.B. Acharya expressed confidence that the protracted Naga political issue would be resolved within 2019 and Nagaland will then become one of the most vibrant and economically independent states among 28 states.

In an interaction with Nagaland Post Saturday at Raj Bhavan, Acharya said “2019 year will be the happiest year for the Nagas. I am 100% sure” adding that sentiments and the goal of Nagas should be respected and identity has to be upheld and Nagaland have to march with triple jet speed for economical development.

Acharya, who will be handing over charge to the new incumbent R.N. Ravi said he was positive that Nagaland will rise to be among the top states in the country and in this regard, appealed to the empowered Nagas living in other parts of the country and abroad to return and strengthen the lives and system at home.

Acharya has completed his five-year tenure and an official farewell programme is expected to be held some-

time next week.

During his tenure, Acharya though in his ripe age of 88 years, toured the length and breadth of Nagaland and personally interacted with the people. He was unassuming and always had a heart for the poor and downtrodden. Acharya is not a stranger to Nagaland.

He had set foot in Nagaland since the early 60s and had also met the state’s first chief minister P.Shilu Ao. Acharya said he had experienced both bitter and sweet during his tenure as Governor but would always cherish the love, respect and fellowship he had with the people during the past five years. The outgoing Governor said he was hopeful that the PDA government would ensure political stability, ensure progress and

bring change and put behind the political instability witnessed during the last four years.

Concerned with the quality of education, Acharya lamented on the poor performances of government schools though they had well qualified and highly paid teachers.

Hitting out at this syndrome, the Governor opined that it was because there were teachers with dubious qualifications or some appointed through backdoor. In addition, he expressed regrets that even mid-day meal scheme existed only in paper while schools or colleges had no library worth the name nor proper infrastructure. He felt that government must take strong action against this anomaly and strengthen the students at the primary level. He reminded that students in government schools belonged to the poorest sections who should also be empowered.

Acharya said the university must take this up on the agenda to initiate dialogue with industries, trade and commerce, natural resources with the educational system and academics.

All eyes on Centre over Naga talks Non-Nagas will not be harassed during RIIN exercise: Rio as mediator RN Ravi turns governor Spl. Correspondent/Agencies

NEW DELHI/GUWAHATI, JUL 20 (NPN): The appointment of R.N.Ravi, government of India’s Interlocutor to the Naga Peace Talks, as governor of Nagaland has sent a clear signal that the Modi government is ready to unveil its blueprint for a Naga solution.

However, it was not clear as to what role could Ravi play in the event any probable agreement is to be effected. This has raised speculations on whether the development means a historic breakthrough in the Naga peace talks or further prolonged negotiations.

Ravi, a retired Special Director of Intelligence Bureau, is the incumbent Deputy National Security Advisor and more importantly, the Interlocutor in the Naga peace talks.

R.N.Ravi (NP File)

According to highly placed sources in New Delhi, Ravi as the Governor of Nagaland is expected to continue in his role as mediator. It was believed that Delhi is not likely to appoint another Interlocutor.

When asked for comment on Ravi’s appointment, one NSCN(I-M) leader said: “Let us hope for the best, not for the worst.”

Ravi had taken over from former Interlocutor R.S.Pandey, who had served as chief secretary Nagaland and later as secretary at the

Centre before being appointed Interlocutor on superannuation. Reactions in the region on Ravi’s appointment range from high expectations to pessimism. The reason to cheer is premised on the assumption that if an interlocutor becomes a governor, a settlement may not be far off.

The pessimists feel that Ravi’s role had been served after signing of the Framework Agreement in August 3,2015. They said that not a single round talks has been held between the NSCN (I-M) and the Centre.

Asked if he views solution to the protracted Naga issue is round the corner visà-vis Ravi’s appointment, Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio told a news media that he was happy at the appointment and hoped that his appointment would send positive signals across.

DIMAPUR, JUL 20 (PTI): Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio Saturday assured the state’s nonNaga communities that they would not be harassed during preparation of the register of indigenous inhabitants and said the exercise was needed to protect the bonafide citizens.

Unless a system is put in place to check illegal immigrants, the character of Dimapur, the commercial hub of the state, would not remain the same, Rio said at a meeting with representatives of the non-Naga communities here.

According to a June 29 government notification, the Register of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland (RIIN) will help identify the citizens who settled in Nagaland prior to December 1, 1963, the day it became a full-fledged state. The Nagaland government began the process of preparing the RIIN on

July 10.

The RIIN would provide protection to genuine citizens who are permanent settlers of Nagaland and non-Nagas will not be harassed during preparation of the list of indigenous citizens, Rio said.

The meeting was attended by members of associations representing Assamese, Agarwal, Brahmin, Bengali, Bihari, Gorkha, Sikh, Jain, Meitei and Muslim communities.

Majority of the nonNaga communities of the state are concentrated in and around Dimapur, the only place in the state where the Inner Line Permit (ILP) is not required.

The ILP, an official document issued by the government of India, is required by non-Nagas to travel in Nagaland.

Only those whose names figure in the RIIN will be issued indigenous inhabitant certificates and

Rio speaks at the consultative meet on RIIN at Rhododendron Hall Chumukedima Dimapur Saturday. (DIPR)

all other certificates would become invalid after the final register is ready.

At the meeting, Deputy Chief Minister Y Patton assured that no community would be discriminated against and no decision on preparing the RIIN will be taken in haste.

Chief Secretary Temjen Toy said views and opinions of every stakeholder would be taken into account and a committee had been set up to examine issues pertaining to the RIIN. The government had

also held a consultative meeting with members of Naga tribal bodies and civil society organisations on Wednesday.

It was resolved during the meeting that policies and modalities of preparing the RIIN will be made public before the beginning of the actual enumeration.

While most political parties and civil societies have welcomed the preparation of the RIIN, a section of them has expressed concerns, claiming the definition of “indigenous inhabitants” is not clear.

workers express dismay

DIMAPUR, JUL 20 (NPN): The 24-Angetyongpang Independent Party A/C leaders have expressed shock and dismay at the PDA government’s move to “strip” off the Road and Bridges portfolio from minister Tongpang Ozukum in proposed reshuffle.

At the meeting held on July 20 with presidents of all 12 units under 24-Angetyongpang Independent party, the parent body president Nungshimangyang and general secretary Repachuba appealed to chief minister, deputy CM, PDA chairman and co-chairman retain Tongpang Ozukum as R&B minister.

They pointed out that it was a commitment made to Tongpang, for which he had supported the PDA coalition to form the government, or else it would have

been a ‘Hung Assembly’.

They said Ozukum, as PWD minister, during the past one year proved his enthusiasm and capability as a promising upcoming Naga leader. The party men termed it as “utterly unfair and unjustified” considering the contribution made Tongpang Ozukum. Even during the two MP (Lokh Sabha) elections, they said Angetyongpang A/C delivered the best performance under the dynamic leadership of Ozukum.

The party workers, from the grassroot to the top party leadership, resolved to firmly stand behind Ozukum in whatever situation or decision he takes and “unequivocally support him now and even in the days to come.” The declaration was unanimously endorsed by presidents of all 12 units.

NRC: 25 lakh in Assam seek re-verification Powerful IED found planted on NH-150 New Delhi, Jul 20 (IANS): After nearly 41 lakh people in Assam were left out of the draft National Register of Citizens (NRC), about 25 lakh people have sent a petition to the Centre for re-verification and it is under the consideration of the Union Home Ministry.

Many genuine names have been left out and many bogus names are registered, a highly placed source in the Home Ministry said.

The Home Ministry has laid down the modalities for Foreigners’ Tribunals in Assam to deciding appeals made by people not satisfied with the outcome of claims and objections filed against the NRC. The Ministry had in May issued an order mandating the Foreigners’ Tribunals in Assam to deliver verdict of any case related to those people whose names could be excluded from the final list of NRC within four months, said the source.

“The gover nment’s intention is to ensure no illegal immigrant is registered under the NRC. Foreigner tribunals are handling issues to curb illegal stay of foreigners in India,” said

the then Home Minister Rajnath Singh had visited Dhaka to brief his counterpart on the contours of the exercise.

Central govt to engage senior officers for re-verification

Nearly 41 lakh people in Assam have been left out of draft National Register of Citizens.

the source, privy to the development.

In the draft lists published in July 2018 and June this year, around 41 lakh people have been excluded.

Around 36 lakh people have filed claims against their exclusion and objections have been filed against two lakh inclusions.

The hearings for these claims and objections are underway at various NRC centres.

All those identified as illegal immigrants under this process will have to be deported, as per the resolve of the government.

The government on Fri-

day told the Supreme Court that India “cannot afford to become the refugee capital in the world”, as it sought more time to re-verify the inclusions and exclusions in the NRC draft list.

The NRC, first published in Assam in 1951, is being updated as per directions of the Supreme Court to segregate Indian citizens living in Assam from those who have illegally entered the state from Bangladesh after March 25, 1971.

There was a major uproar earlier as a decorated former Indian Army officer Mohammad Sanaullah, was among those excluded from

IMPHAL, Jul 20: Hund r e d s o f g o ve r n m e n t school teachers on Saturday stormed the office of director of state education (school) registering a strong rejection to the revised Manipur Services (Revision Pay) Rules 2019.

The teachers stormed the education department office at Lamphelpat around 11 am and when the director was not found in his office, they remained seated inside the office complex till 1 pm.

The teachers alleged that the revised rules have downgraded their pay to the 5th Pay of 2009.

Demand for NRC in Mizoram too Aizawl, Jul 20 (IANS): Except the Congress, all the local parties in Mizoram are demanding introduction of National Register of Citizens (NRC) in the Christian-dominated state which shares border with Bangladesh and Myanmar.

The ruling Mizo National Front (MNF), in its manifesto for the Assembly elections in November last year, had promised that it would initiate the exercise of NRC in the state on the lines of Assam. The MNF is a constituent North East Democratic Alliance, a BJPfloated grouping of nonCongress parties. The MNF pledge came in the wake of several non-governmental organisations in Mizoram demanding an NRC to detect illegal immigrants after Assam published the final draft of the NRC in July last year. The NRC, first published in Assam in 1951, is being updated as per directions of the Supreme Court to segregate Indian citizens living in Assam from those who have illegally entered the state from Bangladesh after March 25, 1971.

The bodies had earlier announced taking mass casual leave from today (Saturday against the recently passed Manipur Services (Revision Pay) Rules 2019.

Leaders of the striking teachers met the director who returned the office around 1pm. However, with no consensus arrived during the talks, the teachers announced continuation of their strike.

Talking to reporters, MGHSLWA general secretary M Jadumani alleged that the revision of pay has downgraded their pay package.

Jadumani said that the teachers were ready to intensify their agitation until and unless the state government rectifies the wrongs in the Revision of Pay 2019.

He alleged that the state government totally betrayed the teaching community.

He said that government issued the order affecting the revised service rules revising the pay structures of government employees even as they have submitted memoranda to rectify the present pay scale.

In this regard, they had also held several rounds of meetings with the chief minister, education minister and education director .

The pay scale of other departments in the recently passed Manipur Services (Revision of Pay) has not been affected, he added.

the draft NRC list.

The 52-year-old army veteran was sent to a detention camp. He was granted bail by the Guwahati High Court on June 7.

While the government has resolved to deport all the illegal immigrants identified under the NRC exercise, it will have to be seen how lakhs of people can be sent to Bangladesh, which has always maintained that none of its citizens have moved to India illegally.

In all probability, they will first be lodged in detention camps within Assam.

Regd. No. 286/19 Dated : 18/07/2019

MAGISTRATE/NOTARY PUBLIC DIMAPUR : NAGALAND

The process of preparing the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam has been rigged due to corruption, believes the government which now wants to engage senior officers for re-verification of the exercise aimed at identifying illegal immigrants for deportation.

The government is of the view that the re-verification should be administered by officials, who were not involved in the initial process, and also at senior level to enable fair and independent verification.

The Centre is willing to engage Class I officers, who have extensive “knowledge and experience of handling process of investigation/ enquiry” specifically for the re-verification.

There have been instances where field level officers have been arrested for taking bribes for entering the names in the NRC list.

Centre not imposing Hindi in TN: Sitharaman Amarnath Yatra death toll reaches 22

Chennai, Jul 20 (PTI): Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman Saturday said the Union government was not making any attempts to impose Hindi in Tamil Nadu and was trying to promote Tamil as well.

Sitharaman’s response to queries of reporters here came in the backdrop of state political parties protesting the conduct of recent Postal department exams in English and Hindi only.

They had alleged that it was a form of “Hindi imposition” in Tamil Nadu, which incidentally had witnessed a successful antiHindi agitation in the 1960s spearheaded by the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam.

The Ministry of Home Affairs had asked the Law Ministry to draw out a draft law after carefully examining rising incidents of violent lynching sparked by rumours spread on social media platforms, each of which have no less than 200 million users in the country.

Referring to the Supreme Cour t directive, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday asked the Centre why it was delaying the enactment of the law.

“I would like to ask Home Minister (Amit Shah), why a law on mob lynching is not being made? Last year, the Supreme Court had asked the government to make a law on mob lynching. If you make all SC’s orders into laws, why not this?” Owaisi said in the Lok Sabha.

Rajasthan, which has witnessed over a dozen cases of lynching, has announced plans to come up with a law against mob lynching.

Earlier this month, the Uttar Pradesh Law Commission also came up with a draft Bill recommending harsh punishment, including life imprisonment, for people involved in cases of mob lynching.

were done knowingly or not, but should not jump to a conclusion that it was imposition of the language, she said. “Central government does not do Hindi imposition,” she asserted.

“If somewhere, at an administrative level, if something happens, don’t come to a conclusion that

it is imposition. Definitely there is no imposition (of Hindi). We are also involved in development of Tamil,” she said.

As part of the Centre’s ‘EK Bharat Shreshta Bharat’ scheme, efforts have been made to popularise Tamil in northern states of the country, she added.

“There is no Hindi imposition,” the Union Minister reiterated.

Earlier, political parties, including the ruling AIADMK, had protested against questions in the postal department’s examination for appointments of postmen and assistants in rural areas held last week being only in Hindi and English, and not Tamil.

After the issue echoed in Parliament, Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad assured the Rajya Sabha that the examination would now be held in all local languages, as per the notification of May 10, 2019 of the department concerned with examination, including in

Tamil.

To a q u e s t i o n o n views from certain quarters against the budgetary proposal on Zero Budget Farming vis-a-vis agriculture, Sitharaman said it has already been tried out in some states.

“This is a free country and people can give their opinions. But there are states which have done it at the ground level-- Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Sikkim and Karnataka-zero budget farming has been helpful to farmers (in these states),” she said.

The proposal was part of the government’s endeavour to double farmers’ incomes, she added.

S r i nag a r , J u l 2 0 (PTI): Six persons have died in the past four days during the ongoing pilgrimage to Amarnath cave shrine in south Kashmir Himalayas, taking the death toll in this year’s pilgrimage to 22, officials said on Saturday.

“Six pilgrims died due to various causes during their pilgrimage to the holy cave shrine of Shri Amarnathji,” the officials said here.

Among the dead are 18 pilgrims, two ‘sevadars’ (volunteers) and two security force personnel deployed on duty en route the holy cave.

In addition to these, 30 others have suffered injuries due to shooting stones and other causes since the commencement of the pilgrimage on July 1, the officials said.

Deaths due to cardiac arrest triggered by lack of oxygen in the area around

the cave shrine have been common over the years, prompting the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board to issue regular health advisories to the pilgrims.

Nearly 2.5 lakh pilgrims have paid obeisance to the naturally formed icelingam in the cave shrine in the 19 days of the yatra this year.

The yatra will conclude on August 15, coinciding with Raksha Bandhan.

Prevention is best

here have been cases of viral fever and malaria while health authorities are working on various ways to combat threat from Japanese Encephalitis. What is also a matter of concern is the report that around 105 people have died of Japanese Encephalitis in nearby Assam. With floods submerging most of Assam’s districts, there reports that most of upper Assam districts, including Jorhat, Golaghat, Dibrugarh, Lakhimpur, and the lower Assam district of Kamrup have been affected by this mosquito-borne disease. Japanese Encephalitis is caused by the bite from infected Culex mosquitos. The mosquito species prefers biting during the night. They prefer breeding in polluted water, ditches, paddy fields or in water with lots of vegetation. These species typically bite cattle, pigs, and birds, and may accidently bite humans if they are in the same environment or in close proximity to these animals - e.g. farmers or people living in rural areas where agricultural activities are common.

The virus does not live in humans for very long and is usually present in very small quantities so a feeding mosquito can’t pick up the virus from an infected person and spread it to another person. The JE virus has also reached Dimapur where one person was reported dead. This is a serious issue that requires a concerted efforts by the public in general and the health authorities in particular to effectively combat the threat. The foothills of the state like Dimapur are more prone to vector-borne disease. In addition, other tropical diseases such as amoebiasis, dysentery, jaundice etc are common ailments which are also endemic in the foothill areas. There is much to be done to contain these diseases at least in Dimapur, which is becoming a capital of tropical disease in the state. In the light of several private hospitals and nursing homes filled with patients suffering from various complaints whose treatment is dependent upon results of laboratory tests; the issue of setting up of a fully equipped laboratory is a crying need. The focus of health care is on providing treatment to many ailments but till today, there has been no effort to establish a modern diagnostic laboratory. When the state can obtain hundreds of crores of rupees for projects that are not as crucial, it is time to give a serious thought on setting up of a modern laboratory in any government hospital. Besides getting rid of stagnant water and drains, the other preventive measure include vaccination against JE. India has produced its first indigenously developed anti-JE vaccine called Jenvac, that will potentially reduce India’s dependence on imports from China to immunize nearly 4 million children annually. The vaccine has been jointly developed by scientists at the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), National Institute of Virology (NIV) and Bharat Biotech International Ltd. The vaccine is available in single and five doses, depending on the condition. However there is no specific treatment available for Japanese encephalitis but appropriate management of symptoms is crucial. Health can only be ensured if prevention is the keyword. Perhaps the state government will consider the matter and do whatever necessary to elevate the standard of modern health care that will serve the people presently as well as in the years to come.

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 1:35-36). 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.

Circular economy needed in India

major cause of the continued deterioration of the global environment is the current pattern of production and consumption – often referred to as the linear economy.Humanity is facing big challenges: climate crises, financial crises, global poverty, ozone depletion, extinction of species, epidemics, deforestation, armed conflicts, fresh water shortage, social anxiety, natural disasters and so on. We are daily faced by alarming reports about the state of nature and humanity. That is why circular Economy seems to be on everybody's lips these days.

It is a concept put forward as a sustainability solution for continued human and environmental prosperity. “This is the future for business. ... The circular economy will not only enable businesses to tap into new sources of value, but help forge resilient markets and supply chains capable of delivering long-term sustainable prosperity.

Since industrialization, human activities have

I

destabilized the Earth systems and natural cycles and forced the environment into a state out of balance.

The earlier environmental changes were moving slower and mostly occurring locally whereas current changes are dramatic in geological speed and are of a global nature. The result could be irreversible when reaching tipping points with abrupt environmental changes and with catastrophic consequences for human development.

The starting point for the ideas on circular economy (CE) circular economy has been to change the linear economic system of “take-make-waste” in order to lower resource use and waste of natural capital.

It builds on the notion of cycles in nature fuelled by solar energy, where nothing is wasted but just goes around in loops.

The Circular Economy is a new way of creating value, and ultimately prosperity. It works by extending product lifespan through improved design and servicing, and relocat-

ing waste from the end of the supply chain to the beginning-in effect, using resources more efficiently by using them over and over and only once.

In the circular economy, consumption patterns are designed to mirror the cyclical approach of natural ecosystems. Once used, all goods provide by-products that can be reused in other manufacturing processes, creating a virtuous cycle more in tune with the environment Indian businesses are well placed to lead the way in the transition. Businesses stand to realise substantial profit from the circular economy opportunities.

Profit opportunities for businesses through increasing innovation and demand for new business services.: By applying circular economy principles, businesses could generate new ideas and explore new ways of working, especially in digital technology. Indian innovation hubs could help businesses implement new approaches and capture new profit opportunities.

Bunch of thoughts on RIIN

pen this individual thoughts on the given subject (RIIN) with the view to dispel some misplaced and misconstrued understanding and interpretations on the issue. Nevertheless, this write up being an individual opinion can be rejected by any reader as misplaced and misconstrued.

All Nagas irrespective of geographic and demographic boundaries in unequivocal terms agrees that.” All the Nagas are Indigenous in their Ancestral Homeland which is Contiguous”.

This agreed thought and assertion invariably justifies the rational and logical reasoning that Nagas of Nagaland are Indigenous Inhabitants on their homeland Nagaland and Nagas of Assam, Manipur, Arunachal and Burma are all Indigenous Inhabitants on their respective homelands. It is formidable necessity, if not bounden duty of all Nagas irrespective of their homelands in the Indian enforced boundaries to safeguard their own lands and territory from any and all forces.

It is every Nagas earnest expectation and zealous anticipation that a Honourable Solution Acceptable to all Nagas is brought in by the negotiating parties at the earliest time in a laudable and peaceful manner.

Every Naga is confidently sure that once new political arrangement under the stewardship of negotiating parties is set in the ancestral homeland of Nagas, a new dawn in political and ad-

ministrative governance will be proclaimed in the entire Naga ancestral lands under the terms of new coined political phrasology “Shared Sovereinity.This is our Hope, earnest expectation.

However, as it stands from 1st December 1963 and uptill now Nagaland with its recognised 16 tribes is a full fledged State under Indian Union. Thus, Nagaland State derives its powers of governance from the Constitution of India and the laws and rules framed thereunder.

Resultantly, we have State Governor, CM,State Cabinet, MLAs, Nagaland Legislative Assembly and all other related functionaries and institutions executing Welfare State duties and responsibilities as permitted and empowered by the Consitution of India.

Situated thus, Nagaland State Govt. is empowered and assigned by law to formulate and execute its own policies for governance of its people. The present (RIIN) Notification in my considered view is simply a conscious policy decision of the Govt. Like any other policy decision of the past. It is amenable to the extraordinary writ jurisdiction of the Hon’ble High Courts and the Apex Supreme Court of the country.

The sole objective of present (RIIN) in my personal estimation is to identify and maintain a record relating to (1) who are Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland State (2)who are not Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland but citizens of India and(3)who are

illegal immigrants/migrants/ foreigners,It is also my observation that this identification and maintenance of record of the aforsaid is necessitated in view of the fact that the State Govt. wants to enforce Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation, 1873 (which prescribes Inner line) prohibit all (Citizens of India or any class of such citizens) going beyond such line without a pass/permit from officer of such District more rigorously in all the Districts of Nagaland including Dimapur District.

I n my ow n i n d iv i d u a l view(RIIN)is a long felt necessity and must be implemented in the whole of Nagaland State with all seriousness and meticulous considerations. It is also pertinent to be understood by all stakeholders that RIIN is not even remotely connected with the long pending Naga Political movement nor with the Govt. of India directed Aaddhar remuneration/registration.

It would be legally tennable, fair and reasonable if the authority while executing the exercise for implementation of (RIIN) the standing Notification Dated April 26,1977 issued by the Government of Nagaland which is holding the field as of today is followed meticulously as required criteria and yardstick for recognition/registration as Indigenous Inhabitant of Nagaland.

Who is indegenous inhabitant of Nagaland?

C

onsequent to a series of discussions with quite a few British Era elders of a number of Villages on matters of principles of traditional and customary Practices of the Angami community, the signatories of this write-up are persuaded to a wider perspective of the practices of pristine Angami life and democracy.

The unwritten customary code for every right action and against every unacceptable ones of the community is universally based on a universal idea of ‘KENYÜ’, a Taboo which when done not only attracts customary reprisal in the principle of ‘an Eye for an Eye and a Tooth for a Tooth’.

These unwritten codes of good conscience are all commonly etched in the psyche and mind of all, particularly in the elders of the community and applied to every walks of life of every individual.

The civilized Society is governed, with Laws,

Rules and Regulations, by a democratically elected representative Government to Law & Order in the land.

In the case of the exercise of the present Register of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland [RIIN], the concerned elder signatory of this write-up, two from Southern, three from Western, two from Chakhro and three from Northern Angami Area, respectfully would like to bring it to the notice of the Government of Nagaland that all exercises of the Government are based on legal provisions of the law.

The Indigenousness of a person is recognized only with reference to his/her natural native geographical Area, any other non-native member of Plant or Animal or Person moved into the area laterly is non- Indigenous: only the native Red Indians are the indigenous of North America, all others are not.

In the State of Nagaland also, only those

Material cost savings and reduced exposure to resource price volatility. A circular economy would significantly lower costs for businesses related to the use of virgin materials. Less material use would also reduce their exposure to volatile raw materials prices and strengthen resilience.

Economic growth. As mentioned above, circular economy practices are making more productive use of material inputs (including looping of products, components, and materials) and increasing revenue from emerging circular activities.

While some sectors (e.g. the material extraction industry) would expect reduced activities, overall more activity would happen across the economy, boosting economic growth As India invests in long-term infrastructure to improve citizens’ quality of life, for example through the Smart Cities Mission, it could incorporate circular economy principles into the design of the infrastructure needed to provide water, sanitation, and waste

services at scale, creating effective urban nutrient and material cycles.Circular economy principles can contribute to this construction activity in ways that create economic value and decouple development from the use of virgin, nonrenewable resources.

Leveraging the current small-farm structure, India could create large-scale networks of farmers, interconnected and symbiotic in their practices and committed to regenerative approaches. Combining local knowledge and traditional methods (like working with a large variety of species) with modern technology (like precision farming, and digitally enabled asset and knowledge-sharing systems) could increase yield while significantly decreasing requirements for resources such as water, synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.Reducing food waste across the supply chain could make the Indian food system even more effective. This would require optimizing production and digitising food

supply chains to match supply and demand more easily.

Circular economy principles can contribute to a mobility system that would meet the growing needs of the Indian population, especially in cities, while limiting negative externalities, such as GHG emissions, congestion, and pollution. Taking reparability, remanufacturing, and recycling into account in vehicle design and creating the appropriate reverse cycle infrastructure can reduce the need for virgin, non-renewable resources and energy.

Some actions are required to lead the way to transition to Circular Economy. Direction needs to be set and commitment should be shown; enabling regulatory framework must be created and policy barriers removed; and circular models needs to be supported through public procurement and infrastructure.

How then shall we solve the Indo Naga Burma problem?

T

he Indo Naga Burma problem did not begin by any Nagas aggression into Indian or Burmese territories at any time in history. The political conflict erupted when the British Empire relinquished their South Asian empire in 1947 after ruling over both India Burma and parts of Nagaland for centuries. For India, If we are to begin from 1661 (surrender of Bombay to the English), they were under British occupation for 286 years. As for Burma, they were under the British Empire for 122 years (1826-1948). As for the Nagas we defied the British Empire for 115 years (1832-1947).

In all these years of resistance, the British were able to run their administration over only 30% of Naga territories from 1880-1947.

There also exist no written treaties or surrender documents in Anglo Naga relations. This fact was clearly stated by C.V. Atchinson in 1931 in his official records as Under Secretary, Govt. of India, Foreign department: “No written treaties or agreements have been made with any of the Naga tribes.”

(C. V. Atchinson Treaties, Engagements and Sanads ). Jawaharlal Nehru might not have known all these facts of Anglo Naga history, but he definitely knew that Nagas had never gone under British subject hood as Indians. This becomes clear when he stated the following words on August 19, 1946: “The tribal areas are defined as being those long frontiers of India

which are neither part of India nor Burma, nor of Indian states nor of any foreign powers.”

But despite these facts of history, when the British left their South Asian Empire India and Burma moved into Naga territories and claimed them as their own territories. This was done on March 30, 1953 when both Nehru and U Nu visited Kohima in Nagaland and Khampti in Burma. After this event, boundary pillars were set up all across Naga territories and both Indian and Burmese army were sent into Naga lands to claim Nagaland as parts of India and Burma. As for the Naga people, Naga leaders had from 1929 to 1947 informed both the outgoing British government as well as the incoming Indian government about the Naga stand for independence from India and Burma. To make their stand clear, they hoisted their independence flag on 14th August 1947. All these facts and events are available in documented records in Nagaland as well as abroad. India and Burma therefore can never be able to trample or twist these documents and solve the Indo Naga Burmese problem independently.

Despite their small geography and population, Nagas have grappled with giant nations and empires in history and have prevailed so far. We are not in the end, ready to barter away that honourable heritage for the economic benefits of a few Nagas.

Standoff between Priyanka, UP govt ends

Priyanka Gandhi consoles a family member of Sonbhadra massacre victim in Mirzapur on Saturday. (PTI)

she has met members of the aggrieved families from Sonbhadra.” Rai said she met 15 people from the victims’ families, including seven women.

Ten people, all Gond tribals, were shot dead Wednesday when a village headman, Yagya Dutt, and his supporters allegedly opened fire in an attempt to take possession of a piece of land in Ubbha village in Sonbhadra’s Ghorawal area. Twenty-eight others were injured.

After the meeting with the villagers, Priyanka left for Varanasi, where she visited the Kashi Vishwanath

and Kaal Bhairav temples.

The deadlock ended amid a show of solidarity in the Congress for Gandhi, who is the general secretary in charge of eastern Uttar Pradesh, with party leaders calling her detention “illegal arrest” and organising protests at several places.

Congress leaders Rajeev Shukla, R P N Singh and Jitin Prasada landed at the Varanasi airport, but were stopped from travelling ahead to Sonbhadra or Chunar, where Gandhi was then detained.

Earlier in Lucknow, a Congress delegation submitted a memorandum to

UP Governor Ram Naik, urging him to direct the state government to allow Gandhi to meet the Sonbhadra victims’ families.

A three-member Trinamool Congress delegation from Delhi was also detained at Varanasi airport.

Twenty-nine people were arrested after the Sonbhadra clash, Uttar Pradesh C h i e f M i n i s t e r Yo g i Adityanath said Wednesday, while blaming the previous Congress governments for the land dispute which has been festering for decades.

Stating that she has been rooting for electoral reforms since 1995, Banerjee said, “For preventing black money (in polls), restoring democracy, ensuring transparency on the part of political parties, the reforms are must. It should include state funding. Why should a party collect funds? Why should black money be there?”.

India to provide $14.5 bn in credit to foreign firms

New Delhi, Jul 20 (Agencies): India’s government is in talks with foreign lenders to provide as much as $14.5 billion in credit to millions of its small firms, two officials said, in a sign the country’s banking system may not be robust enough to do the job on its own.

The government is in discussions with multiple foreign lenders, including Germany’s state-owned development bank KfW Group, the World Bank and some Canadian institutions to extend lines of credit to small enterprises, one of the officials, who did not want to be identified, told Reuters.

KfW’s India office confirmed the discussions, though the main focus was on credit lines to support small businesses’ solar power generation. The talks were at an early stage, KfW said. The World Bank’s India spokesperson did not reply to an email seeking comment.

The official said the government plans to source up to 1 trillion Indian rupees of loans from foreign institutions because Indian banks were not in a position to provide enough capital for the small business sector, which is seen as critical to job creation.

“We are exploring, we are having discussions with

various funding agencies if something can be done (for small and medium firms),” the second official said.

The officials did not provide full details of the discussions they are having with banks, or identify all those they are talking to, but said talks are at a very early stage.

India’s micro, small and medium enterprise(MSME) ministry is discussing the proposal to pull in foreign banks with the country’s ministry of finance, which will make a final call, the second official said.

The push for foreign loans comes on the heels of the Indian government’s announcement earlier this month that it plans to borrow about 700 billion rupees by issuing overseas sovereign bonds.

India’s 63 million firms in the micro, small and medium firm sector are responsible for more than a quarter of the country’s manufacturing and services output, and must be re-energised for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government to kickstart the economy. Gross domestic product growth fell to a five-year low of 5.8 per cent in the January-March quarter, well below the 8 per cent-plus rates that the government is targeting.

But credit availability for small and medium firms, which also account for about

45 per cent of India’s total exports, has worsened due to a liquidity crisis in the country’s shadow banking industry that has seen big lenders struggling to remain solvent.

State-owned banks, which dominate the sector, have not been able to drive increased lending because they are burdened with more than $145 billion in bad loans.

This has led to a severe credit squeeze for smaller firms. They pay up to 17 per cent annual interest on loans from banks, while the shadow banks, which are also known as non-banking financial companies (NBFCS) can charge as much as 20 per cent.

Last month, a study by a Reserve Bank of India panel said the overall deficit in credit for the MSME sector is estimated at about 20 trillion rupees to 25 trillion rupees. But lending to such firms can be risky as some lack proper financial information, such as historical cash flow data, which makes challenging for banks to assess the credit risks.

To mitigate such risks for foreign banks, the loans would be given sovereign guarantees and be routed through Indian government agencies such as the Small Industries Development Bank of India, the first official said.

RBI chief, PSBs discuss rate cut

Shaktikanta Das (File)

Mumbai, Jul 20 (Agencies): Reserve Bank of India Governor Shaktikanta Das met chief executives of public sector banks (PSBs) on Friday where the need for a deeper rate cut by the banks was discussed.

The meeting, ahead of the monetary policy review announcement on August 7, discussed various issues, including challenges of credit flow to the productive sectors of the economy.

“The Governor acknowledged discernible improvements in the banking sector while underscoring that several challenges still remain to be addressed, particularly with regard to the stressed asset resolution and credit flows to needy sectors,” the RBI said in a statement, Among issues discussed in the meeting, the statement mentioned, “Less than desired level of transmission of monetary policy rates”.

While the central bank has reduced the repo rate by 75 bps in 2019, banks have been reluctant to reduce lending rates. Even after the third 25 bps rate cut in a row by the RBI

in June, banks responded in cutting lending rates by 5-10 bps.

With headline retail inflation still below the RBI’s medium target of 4%, and growth continues to be sluggish, the central bank is expected to lower interest rate further.

The meeting also noted improving recovery efforts by banks and resolution of stressed assets as facilitated by revised framework for resolution announced by the RBI on June 7, 2019.

The Governor also discussed the credit and deposit growth on the back of a slowing economy.

Strengthening internal control mechanism for improved fraud risk management, recent initiatives to address issues relating to NBFCs and the role banks can play in mitigating lingering concerns - were also discussed during the meeting, the statement said.

“The Governor also underlined the importance of expanding and deepening digital payments ecosystem in line with the recommendations of the Report of the Committee on Deepening of Digital Payments and Reserve Bank’s Payment System Vision Document 2021,” the statement said.

In this context, on the suggestion of the Governor, it was agreed that banks will identify one district in each state to make it 100% digitally enabled within one year in close coordination and collaboration with all stakeholders.

No blanket crypto trading ban yet in India

New Delhi, Jul 20 (IANS): Despite banking restrictions put in place by the Reserve Bank of India, the country has not put any blanket ban on trading in cryptocurrencies yet, the government has clarified.

Responding to questions in the Rajya Sabha on whether the government has prohibited cryptocurrency in the country, Minister of State for Finance and Corporate Affairs Anurag Thakur this week said the answer was no.

“Presently, there is no separate law for dealing with issues relating to cryptocurrencies. Hence, all concerned departments and law enforcement agencies, such as RBI, Enforcement Directorate and Income Tax authorities, etc. take action as per the relevant existing laws,” the Minister said.

“Similarly, police/ courts take action on IPC (Indian Penal Code) offences. Further, in view of the risks and dangers associated with cryptocurrencies, (the) government and RBI

have been issuing advisories, press releases and circulars to the public,” he added.

Earlier the Reserve Bank of India issued a circular banning regulated entities from providing services to crypto businesses.

The ban went into effect on July 6 last year, Bitcoin.com reported on Friday.

But a draft bill for banning cryptocurrency has been in the works for some time with Economic Affairs Secretary Subhash Chandra Garg leading the exercise.

According to the draft “Banning of Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill 2019”, holding, selling or dealing in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin could soon land you in jail for 10 years.

The draft has proposed a 10-year prison sentence for persons who “mine, generate, hold, sell, transfer, dispose, issue or deal in cryptocurrencies.

Besides making it completely illegal, the bill makes holding of cryptos a nonbailable offence.

NASA also released stunning images from the Apollo landing sites on the Moon for a 50th anniversary reminder of what the 12 humans who walked on its surface experience visually.

“The Valley of Taurus-Littrow on the Moon presents a view that is one of the more spectacular natural scenes in the Solar System,” said Apollo 17 astronaut Harrison “Jack” Schmitt, the only geologist to walk on the Moon.

“The massif walls of the valley are brilliantly

for development,” Sun said.

The two Asian giants have a decades-long dispute over boundary over which they went to war in 1962.

Besides that, several issues test the ties between the world’s two most populous countries.

Sun, who is a former envoy to Pakistan and a South Asia expert, said China and India “will have to do more than just managing differences and take more initiative in shaping our relationship”.

“I think we share very enormous potential for our cooperation and our shared interests far outweigh our differences. That’s why we need to focus on cooperation, make a bigger pie and narrow down the list of our problems and do not allow any individual case at a certain time to disrupt the development of our bilateral relations.”

It was unclear which “individual case” he was referring to.

The planned route of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor through disputed Kashmir, Beijing’s opposition to New Delhi’s entry into the Nuclear Suppliers Group and widening trade deficit are some of the key irritants in India and China ties.

Massive seizure of explosives in Hong Kong ahead of protests

The police said explosives were discovered in a raid at a suspected bombmaking unit on Friday.

Hong Kong, Jul 20 (IANS): The Hong Kong police have seized the largest ever cache of high-powered explosives along with proindependence materials on the eve of protests against the now-suspended extradition bill.

The police said explosives were discovered in a raid at a suspected bombmaking unit on Friday. A 27year-old man was arrested on Saturday in connection with the raid at what officers called a homemade laboratory in the industrial area of Tsuen Wan. Police officials found 2 kg of the highly volatile tri-

acetone triperoxide (TATP), 10 petrol bombs, acidic substances, knives and metal rods, gas masks as well as goggles, the South China Morning Post reported.

“It’s the largest such seizure we have ever come across in Hong Kong,” said Alick Mcwhirter, Superintendent of the Explosive Ordinance Disposal unit.

McWhirter said his squad handled about one kg TATP on Saturday and were working on another kg of explosives. The process was expected to take some time, he said. TATP was used in deadly terrorist attacks, including the

2005 London bombing, the 2015 Paris attacks, the 2016 Brussels bombing, the 2017 Manchester bombing and a failed attempt by an Islamist in Brussels in 2017.

Also found in Tsuen Wan were banners and leaflets opposing the extradition bill and a T-shirt with logo of the pro-independence Hong Kong National Front group.

The arrested man is still being questioned. The Hong Kong National Front said in a post distributed on the Telegram app the man was a member of the group, but denied any knowledge of explosives.

Mt Etna volcano erupts; 2 airports closed Netanyahu becomes Israel’s longest-serving PM

The mighty eruption of Sicily’s Mount Etna that began late Friday sent molten lava 1.5 km down one side of the mountain.

Rome, Jul 20 (IANS): Italy’s Mount Etna, Europe’s largest active volcano, erupted overnight, spewing ash high into the air and closing two nearby airports.

The mighty eruption of Sicily’s Mount Etna that began late Friday sent molten lava 1.5 km down one side of the mountain and forced the evacuation of some residents of the area, Xinhua news agency reported.

The ash strewn into

the air was visible all across eastern Sicily and it limited visibility to the point that officials closed the two airports in Catania, Sicily’s second-largest city.

Media reports said that

by Saturday morning, the airports were operating at partial capacity and would fully re-open by Sunday.

Mount Etna had been producing puffs of smoke in recent weeks and it had a small eruption in December. The last major eruption of Mount Etna took place

more than a decade ago.

Earlier this month, a volcano on the small island of Stromboli, around 100 km north of Mount Etna, erupted, leaving one hiker dead and forcing dozens of tourists and residents to flee.

According to Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, the recent volcanic activities in the area are all related, and it could signal risks for more volcanic activities going forward.

Washington, Jul 20 (IANS): The world on Saturday celebrated the success of Apollo 11 -- one of humanitys greatest achievements -- when American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin became the first humans ever to land on the Moon on July 20, 1969.

US Vice President Mike Pence was set to visit NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to deliver a special address. According to NASA, during his visit, the Vice President would recognize the success of Apollo 11 and address progress in NASA’s return to the Moon with the upcoming Artemis missions.

Going back to the Moon sustainably with this innovative approach will enable America to take the next giant leap -- sending humans to Mars.

Sun, who is headed to New Delhi on Saturday to take charge of his office, spoke to the Indian media in Beijing on a host of issues ranging from border dispute to trade deficit and US’ trade war to the forthcoming informal summit between Xi and Modi.

The Strait of Hormuz is a strait between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. It provides the only sea passage from the Persian Gulf to the open ocean and is one of the world’s most strategically important choke points.

He said it ignored multiple calls to stand down and was threatening the safety of the ship and the crew.

“The drone was immediately destroyed. This is the latest of many provocative and hostile actions by Iran against vessels operating in international waters,” he said.

The incident threatens to inflame already strained ties between Washington and Tehran, which worsened last month after Iran shot down a US surveillance drone it said was flying over its airspace.

Washington, Jul 20 (PTI/IANS): The US is “not at all” concerned about a potential clash with Iran, President Donald Trump said Friday, warning that Tehran will pay a price like nobody has ever paid if it does “anything foolish” in the region.

President Trump’s warning came a day after he said a US naval ship destroyed an Iranian drone in the Strait of Horumz after it had come within its “threatening range”, a development that is likely to escalate the simmering tensions between the two countries. “No, not at all,” Trump told reporters at the White House on friday when asked how concerned he was about a potential clash with Iran in the region.

“We have the greatest people in the world, we have the greatest equipment in the world. We have the greatest ships -the most deadly ships, we don’t want to have to use them, but they’re the most deadly ships ever conceived. And we hope for their sake they don’t do anything foolish,” he said.

Jang Hanbyul enthrals Dimapur

K

orean singer and television personality, Jang Hanbyul enthralled Dimapur at a fully packed IMC Hall Dimpaur on July 20 evening.

The artist who holds a bachelor of degree in dental science from university of Queensland, Australia, spoke on how he was introduced to Korean music by his parents who aimed to become musicians. Hanbyul said his parents introduced him to Korean music and that he fell in love with it and

termed it as very attractive kind of music.

Although criticisms lingered in social media platforms regarding Naga K-Pop fans supporting Korean artistes rather than Naga artistes, IMC Hall was packed by fans to meet and greet the Korean singer for the “Summer Star Tour”.

It may be mention that Hanbyul (Korean wave) fascination in Nagaland is growing bigger day by day and that more support and love for Korean based

artistes is growing bigger especially among teenagers of both gender.

Hanbyul was earlier a member of LED Apple but now is focusing on his solo career and will be performing in Diphu on July 21 and Kohima on July 22.

Prior to his performance at IMC hall, series of questions were asked by the hosts.

When asked about how it was to be touring alone, rather than with a band, Hanbyul said that it has its ups and downs and

mentioned that pressure is more when you tour alone.

He also revealed that it gets rather boring when on flights.

When asked about whether there are chances of him falling in love with his fans, Hanbyul replied that it does not matter if it is anyone if you fall in love with her. He also revealed that his idol date would be with someone who is generous and can cook.

Hanbyul not only performed Korean songs but also enthralled the crowds with a cover of the song, “When I was your man”

by Bruno Mars and also the famous Bollywood song “Raabta”.

Earlier to Hanbyul’s performance, the stage was occupied by The Mistiques, Girls Access, Litsala, Asen Imchener, Unnamed and Asen Pongener with songs and dances. They were the winners of the online contest that MUSIKA conducted to open up the stage for Hanbyul. Altogether 13 contestants were selected out of the many entries, where 5 contestants would be opening up for the Korean singer in Kohima on July 22 and three of them at Diphu on July 21.

L

amb of God has officially parted ways with drummer Chris Adler. His replacement is Art Cruz, who has previously played with Prong and Winds of Plague, and filled in for Adler on several Lamb of God tours in the past year.

Lamb of God announced Adler's exit from the band in a statement earlier today. The group wrote: "Dear Lamb of God fans, we returned last week from a great European festival run and our final tour with Slayer in North America.

We are excited to keep the momentum going and dive into the next record.

"We'd like to officially welcome Art Cruz, who has been playing drums with us on tour for the last year, as the new drummer of Lamb of God. Art will be joining us in the studio as we begin pre-production and recording of a new album.

"We're very proud of everything this band has accomplished over the last two decades. We would like to thank Chris Adler for his contributions over the years and wish him the best in his future endeavors."

Viral FaceApp now owns access to over 150 million people’s faces and names

E

veryone’s seen them: friends posting pictures of themselves now, and years in the future.

Viral app FaceApp has been giving people the power to change their facial expressions, looks, and now age for several years. But at the same time, people have been giving FaceApp the power to use their pictures — and names — for any purpose it wishes, for as long as it desires.

And we thought we learned a lesson from Cambridge Analytica.

More than 100 million people have downloaded the app from Google Play.

And FaceApp is now the top-ranked app on the iOS App Store in 121 countries, according to App Annie.

While according to FaceApp’s terms of service people still own their own “user content” (read: face), the company owns a never-ending and irrevocable royalty-free license to do anything they want with it ... in front of whoever they wish.

That may not be dangerous and your likeness may stay on Amazon servers in America, as Forbes has determined, but they

still own a license to do whatever they want with it.

That doesn’t mean the app’s Russian parent company, Wireless Labs, will offer your face to the FSB, but it does have consequences, as PhoneArena’s Peter Kostadinov says: “You might end up on a billboard somewhere in Moscow, but your face will most likely end up training some AI facialrecognition algorithm”.

Whether that matters to you or not is your decision.

But what we have learned in the past few years about viral Facebook apps is that the data they collect is not always used for the purposes that we might assume.

And, that the data collected is not always stored securely, safely, privately.

Once something is uploaded to the cloud, you’ve lost control whether or not

you’ve given away legal license to your content. That’s one reason why privacy-sensitive Apple is doing most of its AI work on-device.

And it’s a good reason to be wary when any app wants access and a license to your digital content and/ or identity.

As former Rackspace manager Rob La Gesse mentioned today, “To make FaceApp actually work, you have to give it permissions to access your photos - ALL of them. But it also gains access to Siri and Search .... Oh, and it has access to refreshing in the background - so even when you are not using it, it is using you”.

The app doesn’t have to be doing anything nefarious today to make you cautious about giving it that much access to your most personal computing device.

Freddie Mercury’s ‘Time Waits ‘The Lion King’: Rs 13.17-cr haul on day 1 in India For No One’ is being released “T

A

new, previously unreleased version of Freddie Mercury’s ‘Time Waits For No One’ is getting a physical release later this month. You can listen to it below.

The stripped-back single, which has been produced by Mercury’s longtime friend Dave Clark of 60’s band The Dave Clark Five, will be released on July 26. The song was originally shared online last month.

The single is described as showing Mercury “at his most compelling” in what is “a completely strippeddown performance, accompanied by just a piano [and] showcasing one of music’s most beloved and show-stopping voices.”

‘Time Waits For No One’ is a previously unreleased version of ‘Time’, which was recorded in 1986 for Mercury’s concept album and musical of the

same name.

The single will be available on a picture disk 7" and CD and is available for pre-order here.

Clarke said of the original sessions: “We got on great…if I didn’t like something I’d say, and vice versa…we were both aiming for the same thing: to make something special.”

As well as the new track, fans can also enjoy a new music video after Clark unearthed the negatives from the original ses-

sion and spent four days producing the same video.

It was originally recorded in a single afternoon at London’s Dominion Theatre.

An official release explains: “‘Time Waits For No One’ is a tribute to the musical force of Freddie Mercury; the performance, the drama, the vocal range, and after four decades waiting in the wings, is finally out for new and old fans alike.”

he Lion King” has registered a business of Rs 13.17 crore on its opening day in India, and the trade believes the film will only seen an upturn in collections over the weekend.

Many feel it could record the third-highest opening weekend for a Hollywood film in India, after only “Avengers: Endgame” and “Avengers: Infinity War”.

The film is director Jon Favreau’s update of the 1994 Disney classic of the same name, with photo-realistic, computer-generated animation, and it brings back the adventures of Simba, who is to succeed his father Mufasa as King of the Pride Lands. It narrates a tale of how Simba rises up to the occasion despite several attempts to bring him down by his villainous uncle Scar.

The film opened in India across 2,140 screens on July 19 in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

While the film’s gross

box-office collection was Rs 13.17 crore, nett figures for day one stood at Rs 11.06 crore.

Favreau returns with a film in this genre after the 2016 global blockbuster, “The Jungle Book”.

The 2016 film had seen a bumper opening in India too, recording a Rs 10.09 crore-haul on its opening day. “The Lion King” has surpassed that mark.

“’The Lion King’ roars... Opens in double digits on day one. Trends better than ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’, which collected Rs 10.05 crore on day one. Business will witness an upturn on day two and day three, when kids and families throng cineplexes,” tweeted trade analyst Taran Adarsh.

The star-studded voice cast of the original Hol-

lywood version includes Donald Glover, Beyonce Knowles, Seth Rogen, Alfre Woodard, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Billy Eichner, John Kani and John Oliver. Actor James Earl Jones is also reprising his role of Mufasa from the original.

Back home, the Hindi dubbed version cashes in on Shah Rukh Khan’s stardom. SRK voices Mufasa in the dubbed Hindi ver-

sion while his son Aryan acts as Simba. Sunidhi Chauhan and Armaan Malik have sung for Hindi version.

According to Kamal Gianchandani, CEO, PVR Pictures, “The Lion King” is high on nostalgia, and that has translated into robust sales.

“The film has started strong and is set for a very healthy weekend. Simba won’t have to wait to be king of the box office this weekend,” Gianchandani said.

Rajender Singh Jyala, chief programming officer at Inox Leisure, added: “The film has a big buzz around it. The Hindi dubbing by Shah Rukh and Aryan has also created hype.

We expect ‘The Lion King’ to have the thirdhighest opening weekend of all time in India, behind only ‘Avengers: Endgame’ and ‘Avengers: Infinity War’.”

her parents for supporting her and raising her like a “normal child”. “ W h a t eve r I h ave achieved in life is because of my family’s support. They did not send me to a special school. I did my schooling like other normal kids. Yes, there were instances when I was teased by fellow mates but I never paid heed to them. I wanted to make my parents proud so I worked hard to fulfil my dreams,” said Nishtha, in town to participate in the Pinkathon Delhi 2019 launch event.

Nishtha’s father Ved Prakash is a civil engineer in the Indian Railways. In 2001, he shifted to Delhi from Assam for his daughter’s treatment because of a lack of healthcare facilities for the disabled in that state.

Expressing concern

over inadequate medical facilities for the disabled all across India, Ved Prakash urged the government to “develop more speech therapy centres” and “accessible facilities in public areas”.

Apart from appealing to the government, Nishtha’s father also emphasised on the importance of education for the specially-abled.

“When I got to know that my daughter is hearing impaired, I promised myself I’ll never consider it a disability . I made sure to give her everything she deserved. I sent her to a regular school. My wife and I ensured she received good education. We sent her to speech therapy sessions, which helped her a lot.

“In our country, most parents do not send their disabled children to schools or discontinue their educa-

tion in between. This should not happen. Education is important. Nishtha topped in Hindi in her school in class XII. Right now, she is pursuing her masters. If Nishtha can do it, other kids can also do it, too,” Ved Prakash said with pride.

Nishtha is now all set to participate in the women’s marathon event on September 8. At present, she does not exactly know what to do after her MA, but she still cannot forget the moment when she was crowned Miss Deaf Asia 2018.

“She feels more empowered now. People recognise her. She wanted to create awareness about hearing-impaired people. Earlier she did not have a voice but now she has a voice. Now, people listen to her and draw inspiration from her,” Ved Prakash added.

Before signing off, Nishtha shared a “special message” for specially-abled people.

“You should have good intentions about everything and everyone. You should never give up. You should follow your heart and do whatever you want to do.

I always listen to my heart.

I followed my heart and I won Miss Deaf Asia. We are no less than anyone. We all have super powers,” she added.

Yesterday, a report came out that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West had lobbied the Trump administration to ensure the release of the rapper, who’s been incarcerated in Sweden since the start of July.

Trump has now tweeted that he’s spoken to Kanye, and is set to make steps to try and secure the release of Rocky. “I will be calling the very talented Prime Minister of Sweden to see what we can do about helping A$AP Rocky. So many people would like to see this quickly resolved!”, he tweeted It was revealed earlier today that A$AP Rocky will remain in jail in Sweden for at least another week, while prosecutors complete a preliminary investigation before deciding whether to charge him with aggravated assault. It comes following support that has flooded in for Rocky, with rappers including Tyga and Tyler the Creator refusing to play shows in the Scandinavian country ever again following the rapper’s arrest.

“T

erminator: Dark Fa t e ” a c t r e s s Linda Hamilton talked about how excited she is to reprise her role in the science fiction franchise alongside her friend of 35 years, Arnold Schwarzenegger. The duo appeared at the 2019 San Diego ComicCon to promote the movie.

Hamilton is reprising her role as Sarah Connor for the first time since the groundbreaking 1991 film, “Terminator 2: Judgement Day.” Schwarzenegger, who shot to fame after appearing in the

first film in 1984, is back as well but in a more mysterious role. “I loved working with Arnold. I actually was just pleased as punch when I saw him again,” Hamilton told ET Online. “It had been a number of years. And I just have this affection for him that is so deep and biting, that just got completely cemented on this film.”

“I loved working physically with him, I loved seeing him in the trailer, I loved toying with him,” she continued.

“You know, it’s the very top of a 35-yr relationship, and

that really means something to me.” Highly anticipated film hails from “Deadpool” director Tim Miller and producer James Cameron who is also returning to the franchise for the first time since the massively successful and VFX-heavy sequel.

“Dark Fate” features Hamilton’s Sarah Connor back in action as she defends the world against evil, selfaware robots who want to wipe out mankind. It also introduces Mackenzie Davis as a new hybrid terminator/ human, Grace. (FoxNews)

In 2018, she became the first Indian woman to bag the title of Miss Deaf Asia.

Nishtha Dudeja, who has beaten the odds despite a severe hearing loss, has been a source of inspiration to many. Societal prejudice against the specially-abled, however, upsets her.

MCC to review overthrow rules

just enough of a touch to muddle the striker's feet.

Daniel James sliced wide from a promising position towards the end of the first half and the pressure on Inter did not relent in the moments after the interval.

Mar tial this time sliced through a static defence and provided Jesse Lingard with a golden scoring opportunity, but his unconvincing finish was hacked off the line.

United skipper Nemanja Matic then headed against the upright from the resultant corner.

Substitutes Andreas Pereira and Tahith Chong had appeals for penalties waved away as Inter continued to cling on, although a raft of substitutions on both sides did somewhat stymie the flow of proceedings.

That was until Greenwood clinically punished a poor Handanovic punch, twisting away from a tackle in the box and making no mistake with a rasping finish.

An instinctive effort from the goal-scorer found the woodwork with 10 minutes to play but his impression on the match - and surely Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - had already been made.

New Delhi, Jul 20 (IANS): The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), custodians of the Laws of Cricket, is considering reviewing the overthrow rules in light of the incidents that occured in the 2019 World Cup final.

According to The Times, the MCC feels that overthrows are worth taking a look whenever it next reviews the laws of the game which is the responsibility of the MCC Laws subcommittee.

Significant attention has been drawn to the rule after New Zealand’s Martin Guptill’s throw took a deflection off England’s Ben Stokes and went to the boundary. Moreover, umpires Kumar Dharmasena and Marais Erasmus erroneously gave England six runs instead of five.

Stokes immediately put his hands up to apologise and his Test team mate James Anderson later said that he had asked the umpire to take away the extra four runs that was awarded.

The game went on to end in a tie and the Super Over that was played to decide the match also ended in a tie. However, England were declared on the basis of their superior tally of boundaries through the course of the match.

Isner rallies to reach Newport semi-finals

North Korea win Intercontinental Cup

New York, Jul 20 (Agencies): Three-time champion John Isner rallied to beat Australian Matthew Ebden 4-6 6-3 6-4 and reach the semi-finals of the ATP grass court tournament in Newport, Rhode Island.

Isner booked a finalfour showdown with fourthseeded Frenchman Ugo Humbert, a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 winner over Ilya Ivashka of Belarus. Humbert, 20, is coming off his best performance in a Grand Slam, a run to the fourth round at Wimbledon. He cracked the top 50 in the world rankings this week at No. 48.

Isner, 34, was sidelined three months after suffering a stress fracture in his left foot in his loss to Roger Federer in the final at Miami in March. He missed the French Open and fell in the second round at Wimbledon.

Isner belted 24 aces to overcome Ebden in a rematch of the 2017 Newport final won by the American.

Isner took his record over Ebden to 5-1 as he vies to get his season back on track at Newport -- where he also won in 2011 and 2012 -- and next week in Atlanta, where he is a five-time champion.

A h m e da bad, J u l 20 (Agencies): DPR Korea was crowned the Intercontinental Cup winner as it completed a 1-0 victory over Tajikistan in the final at the EKA Arena, Ahmedabad. It was a second-half strike from substitute Pak Hyon Il that was the difference and sealed the win for his team.

The first half began with DPR Korea dominating proceedings and enjoying more possession and chances. DPR Korea’s skipper Jong Il Gwan went the closest to finding the net in the 20th minute but the score remained goalless at half-time.

Tajikistan started posing a few threats in the second half, the first of which came through Sheriddin Boboev, whose curling effort from 25 yards out in the 51st minute just went past the post.

Eight minutes later, Komron Tursonov showed some quick thinking to fashion a chance for his side but his shot was turned away past the post

Neeraj, Vikas challenge Vijender after ‘kid’ comment ‘Not fair to win WC like that’ New Delhi, Jul 20 (IANS): Pugilists Neeraj Goyat and Vikas Krishan have challenged Vijender Singh for a fight in November after the star boxer called Neeraj a ‘kid’.

After registering his 11th consecutive victory in the professional circuit by outsmarting American Mike Snider in New Jersey recently, Vijender had said that Pakistan-origin British pugilist Amir Khan has been playing with ‘kids’ so far.

Amir had raised questions over Vijender’s abilities and skills when the Indian boxer started his professional career.

Speaking on the sidelines of an event where he was felicitated for his recent win in the US, Vijender said, “I am always ready, you should ask him (Amir). He has been playing with ‘kids’ all these time. He was supposed to K Y M C

Neeraj Goyat

Vikas Krishan

fight Neeraj Goyat, but our boxer got injured. Neeraj is junior to us. After that, he fought with some Australian boxer and won. As I said earlier, I maintain my stand that I’am any day ready to take him on... I just want to know when he will be ready.”

Both Amir and Vijender compete in differ-

ent weight categories. The Indian pugilist’s weight category is higher than Amir’s.

Meanwhile, Vijender’s ‘kid’ comment did not go down with Neeraj, who tweeted: “Calling me kid @boxervijender. I’m the only Indian boxer who has defeated a world champion in his own country #canxu

#china. I want you to face @officialvkyadav (Vikas Krishan) in me and @ amirkingkhan undercard in november this year. Are you ready?”

Backing him, Vikas tweeted, “@boxervijender neeraj and @amirkingkhan are of same weight category let them fight.

As @GoyatNeeraj said we are of same weight category,we must fight under their card in November this year. Let’s face each other in the ring.”

Neeraj has also vowed to challenge Amir after recovering from the injuries he sustained in an accident that ruled him out of the big showdown against the British star earlier this month.

Amir kept up his aim for a massive showdown with the legendary Manny Pacquiao by blowing away Billy Dib in Jeddah earlier this month.

London, Jul 20 (IANS): England captain Eoin Morgan admitted that he is troubled with the way the 2019 World Cup ended.

“I don’t think it’s fair to have a result like that when there’s very little between the sides,” Morgan told The Times. “I don’t think there was one moment that you could say, ‘That actually cost the game there.’ It was quite balanced.”

In what has since been described as the greatest World Cup final ever and even the greatest ODI match ever played, the method of finding the winner has come under almost universal criticism and New Zealand captain Kane Williamson was hailed for the way he handled the defeat.

Morgan is normally known for his clear-headed approach and has been credited with leading a dramatic make over of England’s attitude but he admitted that he is struggling to make sense of what happened in the final.

“I’m black and white.

I’m normally going: ‘I know.

I was there, that happened.’

(But) I can’t stick my finger on where the game was won and lost. I’m not sure winning it makes it any easier.

It would be more difficult to lose, of course,” he said.

“There’s no defining moment that you’d say: ‘Yes, we thoroughly deserved it.’

It’s just been crazy.”

Morgan said that he has been speaking to Williamson about the game.

“I spoke to Kane over the last couple of days on numerous occasions and none of us has come up with a rational explanation as to the various times we gave them the game and they gave it back to us. Like me, he can’t get his head around everything,” he said.

The 32-year-old, however, agreed that the final was probably the greatest ever cricket match. “By a long way. I can’t think of a game that’s come close.

Madness. I should be cheery about it, shouldn’t I?” he said.

DPR Korea skipper Jong Il Gwan was named the Hero of the Tournament for his three goals in the competition, as well as the match-winning assist in the final. He was awarded a sum of $7,500.

In the post-match press conference, DPR Korea head coach Yun Jong Su hailed the Hero Intercontinental Cup as a “beautiful tournament”.

He said, “We are grateful to AIFF for organising this beautiful tournament. The confidence of

winning is always so positive. Despite the triumph, we need to work on certain areas.

The beauty of the tournament was that we now also know our shortcomings.”

Tajikistan head coach Usman Toshev stated that the result was a “big lesson” for his side ahead of the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2022 and AFC Asian Cup 2023 qualifiers. He said, “We congratulate DPR Korea on the victory.

Looking back, I feel we lacked the stamina. However, this was a big lesson for us ahead of the World Cup Qualifiers.”

Algeria beat senegal to win Africa Cup of Nations

Algeria players celebrate after winning the Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday.

Cairo, Jul 20 (IANS): Algeria captured their second Africa Cup of Nations title with a 1-0 victory over Senegal in Friday night’s final, adding to the other championship they won in 1990. The victory at Cairo International Stadium was Algeria’s second over the Lions of Teranga in this year’s edition of Africa’s biennial soccer championship, the other one coming in the team’s second match of the group stage, also by the score of 1-0, Efe news reported.

Algeria opened the scoring in just the second minute of the match when striker Baghdad Bounedjah received a pass from midfield, dribbled to a spot just outside the penalty arc and launched a shot that ricocheted off defender Salif Sane, travelled far over the head of net minder Alfred Gomis and entered the right corner of the goal.

Senegal immediately

stepped up their intensity in search of the equalizer, with Liverpool star Sadio Mane proving to be a constant threat despite being marked at all times by two defenders.

Henri Saivet then put a scare into Algeria with a free kick in the 27th minute that goalie Rais M’Bolhi had difficulty corralling, while a left-footed shot 10 minutes later by Senegalese forward M’Baye Niang from inside the penalty arc nearly snuck into the corner of the goal.

Algeria continued to focus on protecting their lead after the break and managed to clear away any through passes into their penalty area, but it was evident that their players were starting to feel the effect of the high-intensity contest.

One of the key plays of the match occurred at the one-hour mark, when the referee initially awarded a penalty for an apparent

hand ball by Algerian midfielder Adlene Guedioura but then reversed his decision after a VAR review.

The North Africans became even more defensiveminded down the stretch, while Senegal heaped the pressure on and were nearly rewarded twice over a fiveminute span.

The first of those chances went to waste when Niang failed to convert after dribbling around M’Bolhi in minute 66, while on the second the Algerian keeper made an outstanding save to deny a potent shot by defender Youssouf Sabaly in the 70th minute.

Ismaila Sarr also had an opportunity to score just over five minutes before stoppage time, but his volley sailed over the crossbar.

Despite their valiant effort, time eventually ran out on Senegal’s dream of lifting their maiden Africa Cup of Nations title.

lost her final bout to local hope Rimma Volosenko.

“The new weight category has been easy to adapt.

I have not faced too much difficulty. Obviously there

are challenges of facing boxers who are coming from 64kg, given their power but nothing is impossible,” Thapa, a 60kg category boxer before the rejigging of

Olympic divisions, told PTI from Astana.

Thapa couldn’t make the cut for the September world championships after losing in the trials to Commonwealth Games silverwinner Manish Kaushik.

Thapa had defeated Kyrgyzstan’s Argon Kadiribekuulu 4-1 in the last-four stage bout.

“Shiva had a great tournament, beating some really fancied opponents. It was an impressive performance,” said India’s High Performance Director Santiago Nieva. Earlier, Sweety Boora (81kg) and Duryodhan Singh Negi (69kg) had ended their campaign with bronze medals following semifinal defeats.

Sindhu storms into Indonesia Open final Jakarta, Jul 20 (PTI): Olympic silver medallist P V Sindhu enjoyed one of her finest hours of the season as she entered the finals of the Indonesia Open BWF Tour Super 1000 tournament with a straight-game win over All England Champion Chen Yufei of China here Saturday.

Sindhu, who has been struggling a bit this season, showed her brilliance once again as she saw off world no 3 Chen 21-19 21-10 to enter her first final of the season.

The World no 5 Indian, who reached the semifinals at Singapore and India Open this year, thus set up a summit clash with Japan’s fourth seed Akane Yamaguchi.

Sindhu holds a 10-4 advantage over Yamaguchi, whom she has beaten in the last four meetings.

Chen has been the most prolific player this season and looked good in the first

game but a fighting Sindhu held her own in the opening game and then completely dominated the second to seal the final spot.

The match started with a long rally but soon Sindhu fell behind at 4-7. The Indian then reeled off five straight points with Chen playing two bad shots. But a body smash helped the Chinese to span the run of points as she grabbed a slight 11-10 advantage at the break.

Chen moved to 15-12 with a few good-looking smashes. But Sindhu fought back and produced a precise return, and then Chen went wide before finding the net as the Indian erased the deficit and made it 18-18. Another rally ended with Chen failing to clear the net and it was advantage Sindhu.

The Chinese then left one at the backcourt, which landed in, to hand Sindhu the bragging rights.

PV Sindhu returns a shot to Chen Yufei during their semi-final match on Saturday.

In the second game, Chen zoomed to 4-0 lead early on but Sindhu again clawed back with the Chinese going long twice.

Sindhu smashed hard and followed it with another one to put pressure on the Chinese, who again went long and Sindhu continued to gather points.

After seven straight points, Chen managed to push one at the back court to break the rhythm.

A whopping smash to Chen’s serve gave another point to Sindhu. After a couple of missed opportunities, Sindhu managed to grab a three-point advantage at the interval with a precise net return, which kissed the tape on the way.

Chen then crumbled under constant pressure from Sindhu. The Chinese found the net and went wide to allow the Indian double her lead to 16-8.

A fired up Sindhu dominated the proceedings after that even as Chen suddenly looked clueless.

Another smash took Sindhu closer and she sealed 11 match points when Chen misjudged a shuttle.

A cross court smash helped Chen to save one but Sindhu wrapped up the contest with another accurate shot, even as the Chinese’s video referral went in vain.
