est habitat of one horned rhinos in the world covering an area of 46 sq km, was completely submerged by the flood waters forcing its wild animals to leave for the nearby highland, the ranger said.

Quarry workers impose indefinite bandh on NH-2 Correspondent

IMPHAL, Jul 26: As many as 10 sand loaded trucks on NH-2 (Imphal-Dimapur section) were forced to unload the sand before reaching Imphal as indefinite bandh on the highway in protest against ban on sand and stone mining in Manipur began from Friday morning.

Workers engaged in sand and stone mining on the river beds of Sekmai River imposed the indefinite bandh on the highway to demand lifting the ban imposed on sand and stone mining in all rivers in Manipur.

An order of the High Court of Manipur passed on July 2 last put a total ban on unauthorised stone quarry, sand mining in all rivers of the state in order to prevent river pollution.

The court further directed officials to take preventive measures to stop exploitation of the rivers.

Implementing the order, authorities of state government have prohibited all activities related with sand and stone mining in all rivers across the state, except those authorised ones.

Almost all the mining

Quarry workers impose indefinite bandh on NH-2 forcing trucks with imported sand to unload at Kanglatombi on Friday. (NP) works carried out in the beds of the rivers across the state were not license holders, firms possessing lease agreements were from the purview of the ban.

As such thousands of quarry workers were left with no job, compelling them to protest against the order of the court.

Quarr y workers in large number took to the streets on the stretch of the highway at various places and imposed bandh on the NH-2, the lifeline of people of Manipur.

The bandh stranded a good number of vehicles including Imphal-bound loaded trucks and inter-state bus beyond Kangpokpi on

Senapati side of the highway as protestors blocked movement of all kinds of vehicles.

The protestors, however, kept vehicles transporting school children, religious related matters and essential service outside the purview of the bandh.

Talking to reporters, a women quarry worker cried that since the ban came into effect their live were severely affected. They were leading a miserable life as they have no other alternative means to earn their livelihood.

She said that they were not against the order of the court but protesting against sudden imposition of the ban order without taking

into account the plights of the workers whose livelihood was solely dependent on the income from quarry work. Before the ban comes into effect, the court or the authority of the state government must have considered the plights of the workers, she said.

Meanwhile, quarr y workers announced that the bandh will continue until and unless the ban on sand and stone mining is lifted.

They further announced restriction in the import of sand and stone from outside the state saying that transportation of sand and stone on Imphal-Dimapur section of the highway will be banned until their demand is fulfilled.

State authority deployed a large number of police including women personnel to foil the bandh and check any untoward incident during the bandh.

However, they were helpless in clearing the road as quarry workers outnumbered them.

Police officers who arrived at the spot tried their best to convince the protestors to open the road, however, unheeding the police, they continued with the bandh.

also withdrawn many candidatures,” the SEC official said. Panchayat elections are scheduled to be held on Saturday in 6,646 seats of 591 gram panchayats (6,111 seats), 35 panchayat samitis (419 seats) and eight zilla parishads (116 seats).

The electioneering for the local bodies had been accompanied by political violence and clashes earlier this month injuring at least 75 political leaders and workers of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, CPI-M and Congress. According to the police, the pre-poll violence and clashes mainly occured in the South Tripura, West Tripura, Khowai and North Tripura districts. Leaders of the CPI-M-led Left Front and the Congress have separately alleged that due to “large scale intimidation

by BJP workers, there is no conducive situation to hold the panchayat polls” and so their candidates have failed to submit nominations in thousands of seats.

The opposition also alleged that BJP workers and the party-sponsored hooligans were still intimidating their small number of candidates who are in the electoral race despite unprecedented terrorisation and intimidation.

SIL C HAR , J UL 2 6 (AGENCIES): If the words of Minister of State (IC) for Civil Aviation Hardeep Singh Puri are to be believed, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has received a proposal to develop a new greenfield airport at Silchar, The Assam Tribune report stated.

The response from the Minister came in reply to an unstarred question (no.

5361) on whether there is any proposal to build new or develop existing airports in Assam and other states in North East raised by Guwahati MP Queen Ojha on July 25.

“Yes, the AAI has received a green field airport at Silchar. Also, the Ministry of Civil Aviation has granted ‘in principle’ approval for setting up of a new greenfield airport at Hollongi in Arunachal Pradesh for which steps for bidding documents are in process,” Puri said in the reply.

Further, the Minister mentioned that for the Silchar airport, the AAI has requested the State Government to share the land details for conducting the pre-feasibility study. The

timeline for setting up of airports though, according to Puri, depends upon a host of factors including mandatory clearances, financial closures, etc.

Referring to the question on the development of existing airports across North East, the minister informed that the AAI has started work to build new terminal building at the LGBI Airport at Guwahati and also at the Imphal airport, re-carpetting of runway at Leelabari airport, extension of runway and other important allied works at Dibrugarh and Barapani airports, strengthening of runway at the Dimapur airport, construction of hangar and cargo building at Agartala airport and other development work at Rupsi and Teju airports.

AAI sources at Silchar airport informed that the proposal was sent long time ago considering the ever increasing rush of passengers from here. The present airport located at Kumbhirgram is struggling to accomodate passengers.

Minimum of 1000 acres

of land is necessary out of which at least 400 acres would be required for setting up the runway only.

Sources also said with a possibility of a new airline service likely to start it’s operation at the present airport within next few months, the rush of passengers would be much more.

Meanwhile, Cachar Deputy Commissioner Laya Madduri told The Assam Tribune on Friday that the district administration is exploring suitable location in and around the district for the new greenfield airport and an preliminary recce for land demarcation is already done.

Asked whether the issue was discussed during the recent visit of Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal here, Madduri said, “We are processing for a suitable land for the airport for which initial recce has been done. The issue was discussed in the meeting with honourable Chief Minister and the report would be sent within this week.”

promotion for Kargil war hero Satpal India commemorates 20 yrs of Kargil War Double Singh who was manning traffic in Punjab

Ram Nath Kovind pays tribute to Kargil war martyrs on the 20th anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas at Badamibagh, in Srinagar, Friday. (PTI) NEW DELHI, JUL 26 (PTI): India on Friday commemorated 20 years of its victory over archrival Pakistan in the Kargil War, saluting the supreme sacrifices and valour of the fallen heroes in recapturing several mountain heights seized by Pakistani intruders in Kashmir.

It was on July 26, 1999, Indian Army had declared successful culmination of ‘Operation Vijay’, declaring a victory after nearly three-month-long battles on the icy heights of Kargil. India had lost around 500 soldiers in the war.

President Ram Nath Kovind, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh led the nation in paying tributes to the Kargil heroes, extolling the courage, bravery and dedication of the soldiers who were part of the operation.

Singh said the “unwavering courage and supreme sacrifice” of the Kargil martyrs ensured the safety and sanctity of India’s borders.

Army Chief General Bipin Rawat, Air Chief Marshal B S Dhanoa and Navy Chief Admiral Karambir Singh paid tributes to

the war heroes at the Kargil War Memorial at Dras in Jammu and Kashmir.

President Kovind was scheduled to participate in the function in Dras but bad weather prevented him from reaching the venue.

He paid respects to the fallen soldiers at the Army’s 15 Corps headquarters in Kashmir’s Badami Bagh cantonment.

“July 26 is immortalised as ‘Kargil Vijay Diwas’ and represents a saga of glorious victory of the nation in the Kargil conflict fought from MayJuly in 1999. Indian Army soldiers fought legendary

battles in Dras, Kaksar, Batalik and Turtok Sectors. We salute the courage, valour and sacrifices of our martyrs and heroes,” the Army said in a statement.

The Indian Army responded to the intrusion with ‘Operation Vijay’, fighting battles on rugged terrains and difficult peaks.

The Indian Air Force had joined the operation with their ‘Operation Safed Sagar’ under which, the IAF for the first time used high-precision bombs to target the enemy.

The Mirage-2000 aircraft played a crucial role in the battles fought during the war and also hit enemy targets bunkered in at the Tiger Hill, besides tasting success at Muntho Dhalo in June 1999.

“Mirage-2000 was the game changer in the Kargil War,” senior IAF officer, Gp Capt Anupam Banerjee, told PTI. Banerjee, who flew several sorties during the war, said, Mirage-2000 made a big difference for India.

A number of events were organised by the Army in the run-up to Kargil Vijay Diwas, including one at the Gwalior Air Base on June 24, when the base was virtually turned into a theatre of conflict with a dramatic reenactment of some milestones of the 1999 operation.

On June 24, 1999,

‘India-China talks on vexed LAC issue on track’

KOLKATA, JUL 26 (PTI): Talks to resolve the “vexed” Line of Actual Control (LAC) issue with China are on track, with differences getting narrowed down after every round of discussion, Eastern Army Commander Lt Gen M M Naravane said here on Friday.

Putting a time frame to resolve the issue, however, would be difficult at this point, the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Eastern Command, said.

“With every round of talks on the vexed LAC issue, the differences keep getting narrowed down. Hopefully at some point, all the interests will converge and we will be able to formally sign an agreement,” he said.

Asked at what stage the talks have reached, Naravane,

M M Naravane (File) who has been appointed the next vice-chief of the Army, said, “We are in the 23rd or 24th round of talks, putting a time frame to it is difficult.

The sooner the (LAC) issue is resolved, the sooner the two large Asian neighbours can get past these obstacles to move on the path of progress.”

Speaking to news persons after the wreath-laying ceremony on the 20th an-

niversary of the Kargil war victory against Pakistan, he said “As with our western neighbour, with our northern neighbour, too, if we have peace, the population on both sides will be able to look forward to a brighter future.” The LAC with China traverses the states of Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh.

T h e I n d i a n A r my and the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) were involved in a 73-day standoff at Doklam in 2017 in the Sikkim sector over construction of a road by the PLA, overlooking the narrow ‘Chicken’s Neck’ corridor connecting the north-eastern states with the rest of the country in an area, which is also claimed

by Bhutan. The standoff, which had strained relations between the two countries, was finally resolved after the PLA stopped the road construction, following which India withdrew its troops.

Significantly, the Chinese military has said that it is striving to promote security and stability along the India-China border and has created favourable conditions to resolve the Doklam standoff.

Mirages had bombed Tiger Hill using laser-guided precision bombs, and eventually recaptured the strategic position.

Air Marshal B S Dhanoa, who was the commanding officer of the 17 Squadron at the time of the war, said deploying Mirage2000 jets and air support to ground forces had turned the tide of the 1999 war in favour of India.

“Tiger Hill was also a message at that particular time that no matter how small your are, no mater how precariously you are positioned, we will be be able to get you and hit you,” Dhanoa said.

The Parliament also paid tributes to the Kargil heroes.

In brief remarks in Lok Sabha, Defence Minister Singh said Pakistan can fight neither a full-fledged war nor a limited one with India and is waging a proxy war.

The IAF on Friday paid their homage with a special video showing glimpses of its operations during the 1999 conflict.

With taglines like ‘Valour Unhindered’, ‘Determination Unmoved’ and ‘Courage Unparalleled’, the Air Force prides itself as the ‘Keeper of the Blue Skies’ and always ‘ready for whatever it takes’.

Various cities across the country hosted commemorative events to mark Kargil Vijay Diwas.

CHANDIGARH, JUL 26 (PTI): Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Friday ordered double promotion for Vir Chakra awardee and Kargil war hero Satpal Singh after learning that he was managing traffic as senior police constable in Sangrur district of the state.

The chief minister accused the previous SADBJP government of ignoring the credentials of Satpal Singh at the time of his recruitment in 2010.

An official spokesperson said Satpal Singh, who joined the Punjab Police after his discharge from the Army, has been awarded a double promotion to be named Assistant Sub-Inspector following direct orders from the chief minister in recognition of his valiant contribution during the Kargil war.

As a special case, he will be recruited as an Assistant Sub-Inspector, in

Amarinder Singh lamented that Satpal Singh had to suffer the ignominy of working as a senior constable after his act of gallantry during the Kargil war.

He alleged that it was the failure of the Akalis that they did not give him his due recognition.

The chief minister has authorised the DGP to grant the required relaxation in age November 7, 1973, for the recruitment of senior constable Satpal Singh as an ASI in the Punjab Police, the spokesperson said.

Satpal Singh was recruited into the Punjab Police as senior constable and is presently discharging his duties in an outstanding manner in Bhawanigarh town of Sangrur district, Director General of Police Dinkar Gupta said.

Where honour is due

A

s India observed the historic victory against Pakistan in the 1999 Kargil war, the nation honours the those fallen heroes who made all the difference between victory and defeat. Kargil Vijay Diwas, named after the successful Operation Vijay, is celebrated annually in India on July 26. On this date in 1999, India successfully regained the high outposts which had surreptitiously occupied by the Pakistani infiltrators. The Kargil war was fought for more than 60 days, ended on July 26 that resulted in loss of lives of many brave soldiers. The heroes of the Indian army are remembered for their valiant sacrifices. These heroes were not born with a special power, but were ordinary people who just did extraordinary things when the situation demanded. For Nagaland, Kargil Vijay Diwas should have been an opportunity to commemorate the heroism of two of its sonse- Captain Neikezhako Kenguruse of the 2nd Rajputana Rifles and Subedar Imliakum of the 2nd Naga Regiment.

Captain Kenguruse was awarded the Maha Vir Chakra posthumously for this heroic and daring acts during the battle at Tololing hill top. Capt. Kenguruse was from Nerhema village under Kohima district and was born on July 15,1974. The other hero is Subedar (then Sepoy) Imliakum who was also awarded the MVC for his valiant act in the battle for Tiger Hill in Drass Sector. Subedar Imliakum hails from Chuchuyimpang village under Mokokchung district and was born on July 25, 1976. While the rest of the country particularly states from where some of the war heroes came from, held commemorative programmes ,it is quite unfortunate that the state government did not even think of honouring the two heroes at least on the 20th anniversary of the Kargil war. These brave young men fought like warriors and ensured victory for their comrades. The exploits of both Capt. Kenguruse and Subedar Imliakum are enshrined in the history of the Indian Army. Though Capt. Kenguruse is no more, his memory stills holds a special place for the Army.

Capt. Kenguruse was made the lead commander of the elite Ghatak platoon of the 2nd Rajputana Rifles.

It is said that only the most physically fit and motivated soldiers make it into the dreaded Ghatak platoon that makes up the first wave of Indian Army’s counter forces. Capt. Kenguruse led his men towards the stiff and icy slopes to Tololing hill where Pakistani infiltrators hid in bunkers. The bunker was a big hurdle for the Indian soldiers from advancing to retake the occupied area. Fighting off the biting -10 degrees C cold including heavy barrage, the seriously wounded Capt.

Kenguruse climbed the 16,000 feel cliff without shoes in order to get a grip. He attacked the enemy bunker single handedly and neutralised it but not before he fell to a volley of bullets. In the battle for Tiger Hill, the Indian battalions involved in the operation included 8 Sikh, 2 Naga, and 18 Grenadiers. Subedar Imliakum was in the assault group from 2 Naga that attacked and destroyed a heavily guarded Pakistani mortar position and ammunition dump on Twin Bump in the Point 4875 complex, an action for which Subedar Imliakum Ao was awarded the Maha Vir Chakra. The 2nd Naga also took part in the assault on Tiger Hill, where it attacked the mountain from its left flank. Failure to honour heroes is not a good sign and hopefully Nagas will ponder over this problem.

DailyDevotion The Way to Purity

Those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart….For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are the things which defile a man… —Matthew 15:18-20 Initially we trust in our ignorance, calling it innocence, and next we trust our innocence, calling it purity. Then when we hear these strong statements from our Lord, we shrink back, saying, “But I never felt any of those awful things in my heart.” We resent what He reveals. Either Jesus Christ is the supreme authority on the human heart, or He is not worth paying any attention to. Am I prepared to trust the penetration of His Word into my heart, or would I prefer to trust my own “innocent ignorance”? If I will take an honest look at myself, becoming fully aware of my so-called innocence and putting it to the test, I am very likely to have a rude awakening that what Jesus Christ said is true, and I will be appalled at the possibilities of the evil and the wrong within me. But as long as I remain under the false security of my own “innocence,” I am living in a fool’s paradise. If I have never been an openly rude and abusive person, the only reason is my own cowardice coupled with the sense of protection I receive from living a civilized life. But when I am open and completely exposed before God, I find that Jesus Christ is right in His diagnosis of me.

The only thing that truly provides protection is the redemption of Jesus Christ. If I will simply hand myself over to Him, I will never have to experience the terrible possibilities that lie within my heart.

Purity is something far too deep for me to arrive at naturally. But when the Holy Spirit comes into me, He brings into the center of my personal life the very Spirit that was exhibited in the life of Jesus Christ, namely, the Holy Spirit, which is absolute unblemished purity.

Post-mortem

Smokers can have access In volatile week, investors must have buying support to special insurance

V

ery often, I see parents sitting in the front row of their car with their little children on their lap.

Had this happened in any western country, the parents would’ve been sent to jail for risking the lives of their children. This is because, even if you meet with a minor accident, you are going to crush your child with your own weight. Anyone who remembers the law of inertia will understand this.

Another nuisance detrimental to our children is passive smoking. I remember decades before, smokers would often light up a smoke in a public transport without any inhibition. Even parents would smoke indoors with their children around. It took a massive campaign by the government and also some new laws to bring about changes to our behaviour and thought process. Coming to the point of smokers, there is a misconception among smokers that they can’t get health insurance. I don’t know from where that concept came about. But, it is not true. Until and unless you are a chain smoker like Sir Winston Churchill, you can insure your health with

a little effort. If you are a smoker, though, be ready to paya higher premium. But, you should not shy away from health insurance at a higher premium. Remember, because of your habit, you fall under a high-risk group and you shouldn’t burden others in case you are hospitalized.

Health insurance companies categorize smokers as nicotine users. Therefore, any use of tobacco, including gutka, jarda, etc., will also fall into the nicotine user category. Nicotine can be detected in the blood, urine, saliva and even in your hair.

The common questions health insurance companies would ask are: ‘How many cigarettes do you smoke per day?’ or ‘How long have you been using tobacco?’ They will also ask if you suffer from any ailment because of tobacco use.

Normally, they will also ask you to go for a medical test to assess your health. If you are given two options – of going for a health checkup or buying an insurance without a health checkup, always go for a health checkup.

This will save you from future ambiguity in case of claim. The health insurance companies will determine the premium of your insurance after determining the status of your health. If you suffer from a pre-existing disease, the insurer might ask for some additional tests and documents. In extreme cases, the insurer might also reject your case.

Health insurance companies don’t keep a different product for smokers as a category. As a smoker, you will get the same product as a non- smoker, but with an extra premium. What you must understand is that like a non-smoker, you will also not get pre-existing disease benefit until the third or fourth year. Complications arise when a smoker tries to hide his/her habits to lower the premium. Remember, smoking is hazardous to your health and you need health insurance more than the others; complications may arise for not disclosing the truth to your insurer.

If possible, quit the habit; physically and financially, it will be a relief.

T

he week gone by began on a positive note and saw markets gain on the first three days of the week. Thursday, which was weekly NIFTY and Bank NIFTY expiry, saw markets giving up cumulatively gains of the first three days.

Friday was a bloodbath after the Finance Ministry made it clear that there would be no rollback of the surcharge which affected FPIs as well. The net result at the end of the week was that BSESENSEX lost 399.22 points or 1.03 per cent to close at 38,337.01 points. NIFTY lost 133.25 points or 1.15 per cent to close at 11,419.25 points. The broader market saw BSE100, BSE200 and BSE500 lose 1.31 per cent, 1.43 per cent and 1.57 per cent respectively. BSEMIDCAP lost 3.27 per cent while BSESMALLCAP lost 3.38 per cent. The Indian Rupee lost 12 paisa or 0.17 per cent to close at Rs 68.80. Dow Jones lost 177.83 points or 0.65 per cent to close at 27,154.20 points.

The week ahead sees July futures expire on Thursday. The current level of NIFTY at 11,419.25 points is down 526.65 points or 4.41 per cent compared to June expiry of 11,945.90 points. With such a big advantage that the bears have, they should easily be able to win the month by a big margin. The BSESENSEX is close to the beginning of the gap which was made on Monday, May 20, post exit poll results. This gap began at 38,001 points on the BSESENSEX. The similar level on NIFTY was at 11,426 points which was just about breached on Friday. Effectively markets have given up the entire gains made post the gap up opening.

Support exists for the market between

38,000 and 38,200 on the BSESENSEX and around 11,100 on NIFTY. These as of now look like they should hold in the short to medium term.

The advent of weekly futures on the two indices on NSE, namely NIFTY and Bank Nifty, have increased volatility in the markets considerably. While markets may be fairly range bound on four of the five days, come Thursday it is super volatile.

Not sure whether it adds to people’s wealth or erodes it. It certainly makes markets more difficult to understand.

The week ahead sees both weekly and monthly expiring and this could make markets really volatile on Thursday.

Market players are looking for safety and are willing to pay a premium for the same. Take the case of HDFC AMC which saw its share price rise by 19 per cent in a single week from Rs 1,947 to Rs 2,316. The company reported a good set of numbers even after SEBI had reduced the fees that an AMC could charge. This has actually turned out to be an entry barrier for new AMCs as it has become that much more difficult to get a corpus for new funds from such houses.

The share price of HDFC AMC has more than doubled from its issue price of Rs 1,100 in under a year. The EPS for the year ended March 2019 was Rs 43.78 and it is Rs 13.69 for the current quarter ended June 2019 versus Rs 9.68 in the year ago.

Reliance Industries declared its results and the revenue per person in the case of JIO has fallen. While the overall results show a growth, its refining and petrochemicals business were sluggish.

NEW DELHI, JUL 26 ( AG E N C I E S ) : A r my Chief General Bipin Rawat on Friday asserted that India has the right over the entire Jammu and Kashmir, including Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and it is a political decision on how India will wrest it back from Pakistan. The Army will follow the orders.

Speaking on the 20th anniversary of India’s victory in the Kargil War, General Rawat said, “India has the right over the entire Jammu and Kashmir, including Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). How we will take it back is a political decision. Will it be taken in back in a diplomatic manner or will there be another way, it will be decided. The step to be taken next will be carried out as per orders.”

Army Chief remarks came on a day when the entire country is commenmorating the 20th anniversary of the Kargil Vijay Diwas on July 26, 1999.

He also said that Jammu and Kashmir was

Bipin Rawat (File) merged into India in October 1947 by the then King Hari Singh. “Accordingly, the Indian Army was deployed in Kashmir and we had thrown out the Pakistani infiltrators at that time but at that time ceasefire was declared. Since then, a part of Kashmir is under Pakistan and is called PoK,” added General Rawat.

Earlier General Rawat had advised Pakistan against repeating any misadventure and war ned Pakistan of a “bloodier nose” if it chooses to go into another war with India. ‘’Don`t do it. Misadventures are normally not repeated. You`ll get a

1 killed, 6 injured in fire at Ahmedabad building AHMEDABAD, JUL 26 (PTI): A woman was killed and six persons were injured after fire broke out in a residential building here on Friday, civic officials said. Fire broke out on the fifth floor of the 11-storey Ganesh Genesis building on the Gota-Jagatpur Road, a fire brigade official said. The woman was identified as Anjana Patel, who succumbed to burns at the civil hospital. The blaze spread to the sixth floor, the official said. “People residing on the floors above the fifth one got stranded as smoke filled the stairway,” he said. The injured persons were shifted to a nearby hospital, he said. Twenty eight others were rescued from the building, he added. The fire is suspected to have been triggered by a short-circuit and was brought under control,” he said. Two persons saw the fire from the road and rushed for help. They managed to save a 60-year old woman from the 5th floor of the building.

bloodier nose next time,” General Rawat said at a press conference.

The 20th anniversary of the Kargil Vijay Diwas is being observed to commemorate the success of ‘’Operation Vijay’’ which was launched by the Indian Army to recapture the strategic Indian territories held by the Pakistani intruders in the Kargil-Drass sector in 1999.

Since 1999, July 26 is celebrated as the Kargil Vijay Diwas every year to commemorate the victory of ‘’Operation Vijay’’.

While the 60-day long war resulted in the loss of several lives on both the sides, India eventually won the unofficial war by regaining control of all the previously held territory, re-establishing the status quo.

One of the most prominent wars between India and Pakistan, the Kargil War or the Kargil Conflict took place between May 3 and July 26, 1999, in the Kargil district of Kashmir and elsewhere along the Line of Control (LOC).

Plea to declare ‘Vande Mataram’ national anthem dismissed NEW DELHI, JUL 26 (PTI): The Delhi High Court on Friday dismissed a plea seeking direction to the Centre to declare ‘Vande Mataram’ the national anthem, at par with “Jana Gana Mana”, or the national song.

A bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice C Hari Shankar said it finds no reason to entertain this petition, while exercising its powers under Article 226 of the Constitution.

“We see no reason to give direction to the respondent (Centre) to declare Vande Mataram as national anthem or national song,” the bench said.

During the hearing, when the bench pointed out that ‘Vande Mataram’ was already the national song and the petitioner must be aware of it, Upadhyay said this is the “gap/vacuum.

It is not the national song and my prayer is that either it be treated as the national anthem or the national song by way of notification”.

The plea, filed by BJP leader and lawyer Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay, wanted that ‘Vande Mataram’, written by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, be given the

same respect as the national anthem, ‘Jana Gana Mana’ penned by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore.

In his plea, Upadhyay had said that the national song played a vital role in the Independence movement and was first sung in a political context by Rabindranath Tagore at the 1896 session of the Indian National Congress.

“Both the ‘Jana Gana Mana’ and ‘Vande Mataram’ have to be equally respected. The sentiments expressed in ‘Jana Gana Mana’ have been expressed keeping the State in view.

“However, the sentiments expressed in ‘Vande Mataram’ denote the nation’s character and style and deserves similar respect,” the petition had contended.

It had sought a declaration that ‘Vande Mataram’ shall be honoured equally with the song ‘Jana Gana Mana’ and shall have an equal status with it.

Apart from that, the petition had also sought a direction to the central government to frame a national policy to promote and propagate both the national anthem and the national song.

India has received satellite data on flood-hit regions from 8 nations NEW DELHI, JUL 26 (PTI): India has received satellite data on its floodhit regions from eight nations, including the US, China and Russia, as part of a multilateral mechanism for sharing spacebased data for countries affected by natural or man-made disasters, the External Affairs Ministry said on Friday.

Whenever there is a natural disaster, the National Remote Sensing Center (NRSC) and member space agencies of 32 other countries which are a part of the International Charter Space and Major Disasters can activate the platform, the ministry said.

“The charter then seeks the information pertaining to the disaster-hit area available with all the 33 member space agencies. This is the standard practice,” MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said in response to a query on sharing of satellite data for flood relief efforts.

The NRSC represents the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) as

The minister urged members of the medical fraternity to execute the programme sincerely and to make sure that no deserving beneficiaries should be left out from availing the benefit, especially in rural areas, and called upon all citizens of the State to extend their cooperation and support to make the programme a success.

Meanwhile, in her keynote address, Theyo

said viral hepatitis was one of the leading causes of death globally, accounting for 1.34 million deaths each year, which was as many as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis or malaria deaths combined together. Hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C caused 80% of liver cancer cases in the world, she added.

She explained that viral hepatitis was not found in one location, nor among one set of people, adding that it was a global epidemic that could affect

millions of people without they being even aware of it. According to her, 90% of people living with hepatitis B and 80% living with hepatitis C were not even aware of their status. But, she warned that this could lead to fatal liver disease at some point of their lives and in some cases they could also be unknowingly transmitting the infection to others. She mentioned that the World Hepatitis Day presented an ideal opportunity for people to

come together and raise awareness about viral hepatitis among the public.

NHAK microbiologist Dr Margaret Yhome gave an update on laboratory diagnosis under NVHCP, medicine specialist Dr Imtisunep Jamir explained treatment ser vices of NVCHP and N-NagaDAO president Abou Mere gave an NGO’s perspective to NVCHP, during which he mentioned that there was no data available on viral hepatitis till date.

Wka district bags Beti Bachao Beti Padhao award DIMAPUR, JUL 26 (NPN): Wokha district will be awarded by Union women & child development (WCD) ministry for doing commendable work in awareness generation and outreach activities under Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) programme.

In a letter to Wokha deputy commissioner (DC), Dr. Manazir Jeelani Samoom, WCD ministry joint secretary Aastha Saxena Khatwani asked Samoon, as the representative of the district, to receive the award on August 7.

According to Khatwani, the event was planned in the spirit of recognising the outstanding work being done by all stakeholders across India. The event is scheduled at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi on August 7.

Union WCD minister Smriti Irani would be present on the occasion to felicitate the selected States and districts. Khatwani claimed that BBBP programme had been substantially gaining grounds with respect to its objectives. She said the WCD ministry had decided to felicitate the States, Union Territories and districts that had been performing well in respect of achieving the goals set by the BBBP. Meanwhile, the joint secretary has urged the Wokha DC to send a snippet/video not exceeding 40 seconds and submit it by July 30t via email at bbbnawardAgmail.com. She said the video clip must have good voice over/commentary and picturisation and that it should be in HD format. The name of the district could prominently appear in the beginning of the snippet, she added.

NEW DELHI, JUL 26 (PTI): Seventeen opposition parties on Friday wrote to Rajya Sabha chairman raising concerns over the “hurried” passage of bills in Parliament without any scrutiny and said that this was a departure from the established practice.

The letter has been signed by leaders of 17 parties, including the Congress, Samajwadi Party, Trinamool Congress, Bahujan Samaj Party, Rashtriya Janata Dal, Telugu Desam Party, Communist party of India and the CPM. “We, the undersigned parties, wish to register our anguish and serious concern over the manner in which the government is hurriedly passing legislations without any scrutiny by parliamentary standing or select committees. This is a fundamental departure from the established practice and healthy traditions of enacting

legislations,” the letter said.

It said that in the 14th Lok Sabha, 60 per cent of bills were sent for scrutiny to parliamentary committees while in the 15th Lok Sabha, 71 per cent of bills were sent for scrutiny. However, the letter said, in the 16th Lok Sabha, only 26 per cent of bills were sent for scrutiny. “Now, in the 17th Lok Sabha, 14 bills have already been passed in the first session. None of these bills has been referred to a standing committee or select committee for legislative scrutiny. “Public consultation is a long established practice where parliamentary committees scrutinise bills, deliberate, engage and work towards improving the content and quality of the legislation,” the letter stated. The parties urged Rajya Sabha chairman M Venkaiah Naidu to intervene in the matter.

Goyal also said that consumption of diesel by the Railways has been coming down over the years as it was moving to electric traction and there is a plan for 100

per cent electrification by 2022. During the Question Hour, Congress leader B.K. Hariprasad wanted a reply from the Railway Minister on whether fluctuation in petroleum products would have its impact on passenger and freight fares.

While presenting the Budget earlier this month, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman proposed to increase excise duty and cess each on petrol and diesel by Re 1 per litre.

The Railways is the third largest consumer of diesel in the country but it has been fast moving to green energy in a big way to reduce carbon footprint and protect the environment.

Goyal had earlier said that the public transporter consumes about 1.27 per cent of the total electricity consumption of the country and three per cent of diesel for its energy needs.

NEW DELHI, JUL 26 (PTI): Lok Sabha on Friday gave its nod to the Companies (Amendment) Bill which seeks to tighten corporate social responsibility compliance and reduce the load of cases on the National Company Law Tribunal. Finance and Corporate Affairs Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said the draft law will also ensure more accountability and better enforcement to strengthen the corporate governance norms.

Opposing the ordinance brought earlier, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury (Cong) and Saugata Roy (TMC) said it was not required as the law has been amended on several occasions. Pinaki Misra (BJD) described the bill as "disastrous", saying the legislation has been drafted by bureaucrats and the lawmakers have just rubberstamped it.

A Raja (DMK) said the registrar of companies has been given "excessive powers" which is not good. P P Chaudhury (BJP) said once the law is amended, it will help in ease of doing business and give a boost to commerce.

The government in its budget earlier this month proposed to offer credit guarantees on the first 10% losses of highly rated, pooled assets worth 1 trillion rupees ($14.48 billion) of financially sound NBFCs.

On the assets front, bank’s gross non-performing assets fell to 16.49 per cent of gross advances at end of June 2019, as against 18.26 per cent of gross advances at end of June 2018. Net NPAs or bad loans were at 7.17 per cent as against 10.58 per cent year ago.

BENGALURU, Jul 26 (Agencies): WhatsApp will roll out its payments service in the country this year following a year-long pilot, its global chief Will Cathcart has said, as the Facebook-owned messaging giant taps an upsurge in digital payments in its dominant market.

WhatsApp is ubiquitous across India, where data consumption is surging thanks to cheap internet, but a full launch of its payments feature had been delayed amid some false messages circulating on the platform that have led to mob lynching and more government scrutiny, according to local media.

banks in very clear and unambiguous terms that adequate liquidity will be provided to them to onlend to the NBFC sector. I think the banks are making their own assessment of the individual NBFCs, and the lending cycle should start to gather momentum,” Das told the newspaper.

On monetary policy transmission by banks to customers, Das said that “conditions are absolutely conducive for faster transmission of interest rate cuts, at least for the new loans”.

The RBI has cut its key repo rate by a total of 75 basis points since the start of 2019 as also changed its policy stance to accommodative from neutral to boost growth with inflation remaining well within mandated levels.

When asked about future rate actions, Das told the paper: “It’s a question of how the economy evolves and what is the requirement of the economy at particular points of time”.

MUMBAI, Jul 26 (Agencies): The credit flow to India’s non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) should gather pace soon, Reserve Bank of India Governor Shaktikanta Das told the Business Standard daily in an interview published on Friday.

The central bank was closely monitoring and scrutinizing the top 50 NBFCs, and had a good understanding of what were the numbers and cash flows of these firms, Das was quoted as saying.

“I think the credit flow will gather greater momentum very soon”.

The NBFCs or shadow banks in the country have been left reeling from a massive liquidity crunch, after the collapse of one of the biggest players in the space, Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services (IL&FS), in September last year.

Most of these firms have seen business coming to a standstill in the absence of fresh funding and that has in turn had an impact on

State dept backs Trump’s claim on Kashmir mediation New York, Jul 26 (IANS): The State Department now appears to stand behind US President Donald Trump’s claim that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had asked him to mediate or arbitrate the Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan, moving away from a Department official’s clarification that it considered it a bilateral issue. Asked by a reporter if there has been any change in US policy on Kashmir, Department Spokesperson Morgan Ortagus said in Washington on Thursday, “I don’t have anything to say beyond the President’s statement.”

This would be a step back from an attempt by Alice G Wells, the Acting Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs, to ease tensions with India over Trump’s claim, which India has denied.

Soon after Trump’s made the claim before reporters as he and visiting Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan were preparing to meet at the White House on Monday, Wells tried to clarify Washington’s position affirming that Kashmir was a bilateral matter, conforming to India’s stand.

She tweeted under her initials, AGW, on her

Morgan Ortagus (File)

bureau’s twitter account, “While Kashmir is a bilateral issue for both parties to discuss, the Trump administration welcomes #Pakistan and #India sitting down and the United States stands ready to assist.” Ortagus moves the Department position back to Trump’s although she does not explicitly call it a change in the policy.

Trump had said, “I was with Prime Minister Modi two weeks ago, and we talked about this subject. And he actually said, ‘Would you like to be a mediator or arbitrator?’ I said, ‘Where?’ He said, ‘Kashmir.’” Foreign Minister S Jaishankar has denied in Parliament that Modi had made any such request when he met Trump in Osaka on the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Japan.

He said on Tuesday, “I assure the House categori-

cally that no such request has been made by the Prime Minister to the US President.

It has been India’s consistent position that all outstanding issues with Pakistan are discussed only bilaterally. Any engagement with Pakistan would require an end to cross-border terrorism.”

The episode illustrates the frequent foreign -- domestic -- policy confusions brought on by a mercurial president and efforts by officials to salvage situation while working at cross purposes. Ortagus sidestepped another question by reporter asking how US-Pakistan and India-Pakistan relations would proceed after Khan’s admission on Tuesday that there 30,000 to 40,000 terrorists who had fought in Kashmir and Afghanistan were in Pakistan.

Ortagus, instead spoke in general terms about the interactions between Khan and US leaders. She said, “This was an initial meeting. This meeting, of course, gave the chance for the President and the Secretary (of State Mike Pompeo) to meet with Prime Minister Khan, to build a personal connection and rapport. And now we think it’s time to make progress on the success of this first meeting.

Missile launches ‘warning’ to S. Korea ‘warmongers’: N Korea

Kim Jong-un (File)

Seoul, Jul 26 (IANS): North Korea has called the test of two short-range ballistic missiles, under its leader Kim Jong-un’s guidance, a “solemn warning” to the South Korean “warmongers”, the state media reported on Friday.

The firings were aimed at sending a “solemn warning to South Korean military warmongers who are introducing ultramodern offensive weapons into South Korea and pushing to hold (a) military exercise in defiance of the repeated warnings from the North”, reported the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

On Thursday, North Korea launched two missiles from Hodo Peninsula near the North’s eastern coastal town of Wonsan. One of them was a “new type of tactical guided weapon” launched under the supervision of Kim. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said on

Friday that both flew around 600 km, modified from an earlier estimate that they travelled 430 km and 690 km, respectively, Yonhap news agency reported.

After watching the launches, Kim expressed satisfaction over “the rapid anti-firepower capability of the tactical guided weapon system and the specific features of the low-altitude gliding and leaping flight orbit” of the missile, which would be hard to intercept, the KCNA said.

“It must have given uneasiness and agony to some targeted forces enough as it intended,” it added.

Kim said that South Korea should “not make a mistake of ignoring the warning”, according to the report. South Korea has urged Pyongyang to stop acts that are unhelpful to easing tension and said the tests posed a military threat.

The firings came less than a month after Kim held a surprise meeting with US President Donald Trump at the inter-Korean border village of Panmunjom and agreed to resume their working-level nuclear talks.

The report did not directly criticize the US or Trump in an apparent effort to keep hope for talks alive but could have been meant to send a message to Washington as well.

On Thursday, the Indian embassy in Tehran got consular access to the 18 Indians on board Stena Impero.

New Delhi, Jul 26 (IANS): Iran has freed nine of the 12 Indian crew members on board a Panama-flagged tanker seized on July 13 in the Strait of Hormuz, even as efforts are on for the release of 45 Indians on board this and two other vessels.

The tanker MT Riah was detained along with 12 Indian crew members by the Iranian Coast Guard on July 13. Nine crew members have been released and “they will be on their way to India soon”, Ministry of External Affairs spokesper-

son Raveesh Kumar said.

“Our mission in Iran has requested the concerned Iranian authorities for the release of remaining crew members,” he said.

Besides the three on board MT Riah, 18 Indians are still on board the British oil tanker Stena Impero which was seized last week by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards in the Strait of Hormuz. There are also 24 Indian crew members on board Iranian tanker ‘Grace 1’, which was detained by British marines in the Strait of Gibraltar.

On Thursday, the Indian embassy in Tehran got consular access to the 18 Indians on board Stena Impero.

India is in touch with the Iranian authorities over these 18 Indians. “We continue to impress upon the Iranians to release them so that we can repatriate them,” Kumar said.

Minister of State for External Affairs V. Muraleedharan also tweeted that the embassy in Tehran has got consular access to the Indians on board Stena Impero.

Russia delivers first Over 100 killed in Syria Trump-Johnson relationship air raids in past 10 days: UN batch of S-400 to Turkey to be sensational: US diplomat

Last week, the UN said more than 350 civilians had been killed and 330,000 forced to flee their homes since fighting escalated on April 29.

Geneva, Jul 26 (IANS): More than 100 people, including 26 children, have died in government attacks on hospitals, schools, markets and bakeries in Syria in the last 10 days, UN’s human rights chief Michelle Bachelet said on Friday.

She said the deaths were part of a “relentless campaign of airstrikes by the government and its allies”, which include Russia.

More than 400,000 people have been displaced.

The targets of the attacks were “civilian objects, and it seems highly unlikely, given the persistent pattern of such attacks, that they are all being hit by accident,” she said in a statement, adding that the reports were

being met with “apparent international indifference”, the BBC reported.

Backed by its main ally, Russia, the Syrian government began its offensive against the rebel enclave in northwest Syria -- the last area of active opposition to President Bashar al-Assad -at the end of April, saying it was responding to violations of a ceasefire. Speaking to reporters, Bachelet hit out at the “failure of leadership by the world’s most powerful nations”.

The rising death toll in the rebel-held region of Idlib, she said, had been met with a “collective shrug”.

The conflict had fallen off the international radar while the UN Security Council

Turkey receives first shipment of Russian S-400s.

Moscow, Jul 26 (IANS): Russia has completed delivery of the first shipment of S-400 air defence missile systems to Turkey, according to media reports. More than 30 special flights have been made to Turkey starting from July 12 with the first batch of elements of the air defence system, Xinhua reported, citing Sputnik news agency. The two countries are now negotiating to continue cooperation on the issue, including the organization of licensed production of elements of the S-400 systems in Turkey. “The S-400 supplies have strengthened not only the Turkish air defense network, but also the strategic partnership of our countries,” Alexander Mikheev, CEO of Russia’s state-run arms exporter Rosoboronexport, was quoted as saying on Thursday. According to the Turkish Defence Ministry, the deployment of S-400 systems is likely to begin in October.

L o nd o n , J u l 2 6 (IANS): US President Donald Trump relationship with new UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is going to be “sensational” as the two have a lot in common in their leadership style and desire to “get things done”, US ambassador to the UK Woody Johnson said on Friday.

“I think they do have a lot (in common). Both these leaders have their own style, but they have similarities and I think they have clear vision of what they want to accomplish,” the ambassador told the BBC. Trump had welcomed Boris Johnson’s rise to power earlier this week, saying he would do a “great job” and even described him as “Britain Trump”.

was paralysed, she added.

She also warned those carrying out the attacks could be charged with war crimes. “Intentional attacks against civilians are war crimes, and those who have ordered them or carried them out are criminally responsible for their actions.”

Idlib, along with norther n Hama and wester n Aleppo province, is the last opposition stronghold in Syria after eight years of civil war. It is supposedly covered by a truce brokered in September by Russia and opposition-backer Turkey that spared the 2.7 million civilians living there from a major government offensive. Last week, the UN said more than 350 civilians had been killed and 330,000 forced to flee their homes since fighting escalated on April 29. However, this figure has now been revised, with 103 extra deaths in the last 10 days alone.

The Syrian government, backed by the Russian Air Force, said the increase in attacks was due to what they said were repeated truce violations by jihadists linked to Al Qaeda who dominate the opposition stronghold.

now,” the US President had said. “He’s tough and he’s smart. They’re saying ‘Britain Trump’. They call him ‘Britain Trump’ and people are saying that’s a good thing.”

The ambassador played down Boris Johnson’s criticism of Trump when he was London Mayor. That time, he had called the then US presidential candidate “stupefyingly ignorant”.

Woody Johnson said he was sure the US President was aware of the com-

ments. “Donald Trump is going to say what he wants to say when he wants to say it and he will comment on injustices or inabilities or how he sees it. I think he respects Boris for the same.

Boris is going to call it as he sees it.”

“But first of all I don’t think it’s long-lasting and second of all I think they have so much more in common in terms of what they want to accomplish for the good of both of our nations.”

The ambassador said a no-deal Brexit would not affect the UK’s ability to strike a trade deal with the US. According to him, Britain would be at the “front of the line” for a trade deal once Brexit happens and it is “not imperative” for the UK to leave the EU with an agreement to make progress.

Trump attacks Swedish PM over A$AP Rocky incarceration

D

It’s also the first “Spider-Man” film to reach the milestone, and Sony’s second film to do so after “Skfall” ($1.108 billion in 2012, sans 3D).

Holland was introduced as Spider-Man in “Captain America: Civil War” in 2016. He got his first solo movie with “Spider-Man: Homecoming” in 2017, and returned as the superhero with his second solo movie “Spider-Man: Far From Home”.

“Spider-Man: Far From Home” follows Peter Parker, who is recruited to save the world while on a school trip to Europe, and deals with the death of his mentor and fellow Avenger Iron Man. (IANS)

onald Trump has laid into the Swedish PM after prosecutors in the country formally announced their decision to charge A$AP Rocky with assault yesterday (July 26).

The American rapper was accused of assault in an incident in Stockholm on June 30 and arrested on July 3. Trump has already lent his support to the ongoing case and said that he was going to try and secure his release following a conversation with Kanye West on July 19.

“Just spoke to Kanye West about his friend A$AP Rocky’s incarceration,” he tweeted. “I will be calling the very talented Prime Minister of Sweden to see what we can do about helping A$AP Rocky. So many people would like to see this quickly resolved!”

Now, in a new tweet following news of A$AP Rocky’s charge, Trump has said he is “very disappointed” in the country’s decision to charge the rapper.

Trump tweeted: “Very disappointed in Prime Minister Stefan Löfven for being unable to act. Sweden has let our African American Community down in the United States.

“I watched the tapes of A$AP Rocky, and he was being followed and harassed by troublemakers. Treat Americans fairly!”

He went on: “Give A$AP Rocky his FREEDOM. We do so much for Sweden but it doesn’t seem to work the other way around.

Sweden should focus on its real crime problem!”

On July 22, the Swedish PM Stefan Löfven issued a statement regarding the case, saying that “in Sweden everyone is equal before the law,” adding: “the government cannot and will not attempt to influence the legal proceedings.”

Footage had emerged of A$AP Rocky and his entourage shoving a man to the ground on the street.

After the videos circulated, the rapper posted two clips on his own Instagram ac-

count, claiming that the men in the altercation had “hit security in [the] face with headphones” then “followed us for four blocks”.

The rapper’s defence lawyer Henrik Olsson Lilja has said that Rocky and his entourage “were attacked and he made use of self-defence”. If convicted, he faces a maximum of two years in prison or a fine based on his daily earnings.

Support 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. A change.org petition, campaigning for his release also now has over 630,000 signatures. Other rappers like Quavo and Skepta have also chimed in on the arrest.

Kangana, others speak out against ‘selective outrage’

T

hree days after a group of eminent citizens wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the lynching of minorities and hate crimes, 61 high profile personalities from various fields on Friday responded with a counter statement against “selective outrage and false narratives”.

The July 23 letter by 49 “self-styled guardians and conscience keepers” expressed selective concerns and demonstrated a “clear political bias and motive”, said the statement signed by actor Kangana Ranaut, lyricist Prasoon Joshi, dancer Sonal Mansingh and filmmakers Madhur Bhandarkar and Vivek Agnihotri and others.

“It (the July 23 letter) is aimed at tarnishing India’s international standing and to negatively portray the prime minister’s untiring efforts to effectuate governance on the foundations of positive nationalism and humanism which is the core of Indianess,” the statement read.

K Y M C

The document of selective outrage, it said, comes across as an “attempt to foist a false narrative with the intention of denigrating the democratic ethos and norms of our collective functioning as a nation and people”.

On July 23, 49 personalities, including filmmakers Mani Ratnam, Anurag Kashyap, Shyam Benegal and Aparna Sen as well as vocalist Shubha Mudgal and historian Ramchandra Guha, expressed concern at the number of “religious identity-based hate crimes” and noted that Jai Shri Ram’ has become a provocative war cry with many lynchings taking place in its name.

In their statement on

Friday, 61 signatories questioned the silence of the letter writers on their silence “when tribals and the marginalised have become victims of Naxal terror”.

“They have kept silent when separatists have issued dictates to burn schools in Kashmir, they have kept silent when the demand for dismembering India, for making pieces of her -Tukde Tukde – were made, they kept silent when slogans chanted by terrorists and terror groups were echoed in some leading university campuses in the country,” the statement said.

The civil society leaders had noted in the open letter to the prime minister

that criticising the lynchings in Parliament is not enough.

“What action has actually been taken against the perpetrators? We strongly feel that such offences should be declared nonbailable, and that exemplary punishment should be meted out swiftly and surely,” they said.

The response, also signed by actor Pallavi Joshi, singer Malini Awasthi, film producer Saikat Mukherjee and former vice chancellor Netaji Subhas Open University, Radharaman Chakraborty, emphasised that the PM has spoken out repeatedly against lynching.

“Prime Minister has spoken out against it repeatedly and respective state governments are empowered to take action. We would urge everyone to give up being selective and condemn lynching, discrimination and desecration of religious places with equal vehemence when they occur”.

alaika Arora shot to fame with her superhit dance number “Chhaiyya chhaiyya” with Shah Rukh Khan in Mani Ratnam’s 1998 film, “Dil Se”. After all these years, superdancer Malaika has come out to reveal a shocking incident about the filming of the song. She was bleeding around the waist while dancing, she revealed. “I fell several times while shooting for ‘Chaiyya chaiyya’. I would sway right and left owing to the strong wind, and to avoid that, the team tied me with the train with a rope through my ghaghra. This was meant to help me balance and (stay in) sync with the train’s motion. Unfortunately, when I removed the rope, I discovered I had cuts along my waistline. I was bleeding, and everyone was worried,” she said, recalling the shooting for the iconic number on a reality dance show. Composed by AR Rahman and penned by Gulzar, “Chaiyya chaiyya” made Malaika a dancing star in Bollywood.

Wolves win on historic Europa return Phek open badminton c’ship underway

the Europa League second qualifying round tie.

Vinagre’s strike was a bitter pill for Crusaders to swallow after a valiant defensive display looked to have restricted the dominant hosts to just a single goal on their long-awaited

return to Europe.

But Wolves’ late second leaves them in the driving seat ahead of the return leg at Seaview in Belfast next Thursday.

With Wolves last scoring in Europe 39 years ago, a near sell-out crowd arrived at Molineux expecting a hatful against their part-time opponents, but they were made to wait by a dogged Crusaders outfit.

In fact, the visitors nearly took a shock lead, with Rory Hale’s rasping drive flashing wide inside seven minutes, but from there on it was one-way traffic for the hosts.

Jota dragged Wolves first chance wide before Joao Moutinho, Morgan Gibbs-White, Leander Dendoncker and Ruben Neves all drew saves from goalkeeper Sean O’Neill.

But the Cr usaders captain’s defences were breached eight minutes before the interval as Jota peeled away to the penalty spot to meet Adama Traore’s cross and rifled an unstoppable volley home.

Jo t a s h o u l d h ave doubled his and Wolves’ tally four minutes later, but O’Neill raced off his line

to ensure Crusaders made it to the break with just a one-goal deficit.

The Wolves barrage continued in the second half, but Crusaders stood firm, restricting their hosts to half chances with a resilient display which moved them to within seconds of a result that would have left the tie open ahead of the return leg in Belfast.

But in the third minute of stoppage time, O’Neill undid all of his hard work when he hesitated when clearing a cross from the right, collided with a team-mate and presented Vinagre with the simple task of stroking Wolves’ second into the unguarded net.

Wo l v e s m a n a g e r Nuno Espirito Santo, “We are doing things we want to do but it was tough, Crusaders were well organised, really deep with no spaces.

But we need to be faster, more accurate, sharper - all things that will come with hard work.”

Wolves travel to Belfast for the return leg at Seaview on August 1 before kicking off their Premier League campaign away at Leicester on August 11.

The trio served suspensions after they were involved in a plot to use sandpaper on the ball in a Test match against South Africa in March 2018.

National selector Trevor Hohns said, “David Warner, Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft have forced their way back into the Test squad through the excellence of their recent performances.”

“David and Steve also have the advantage of being proven players at Test level while Cameron has produced impressive numbers for county side Durham this season. His innings in the intra-squad match in Southampton (93 not out for a Graame Hick XII) on a tough pitch was outstanding and showed his quality.”

There are recalls for fast bowlers James Pattinson and Peter Siddle, while Josh Hazlewood is back in the squad following his recent back injury.

AOYIMKUM SENSO MONGDANG

DIMAPUR : NAGALAND Resolution of Aoyimkum Senso Mongdang and information thereof To whomsoever it may concern.

Aoyimkum Senso Mongdang (General Assembly) was held on 6th July, 2019 and deliberated on the repeated misdemeanor of Mr. Imsüneken, Mr. Nungsangtoshi and Mr. Lanusucha, erstwhile G.B’s of Aoyimkum village and their malevolent actions against the harmony and congenial atmosphere in the village. Some of their irresponsible actions are enumerated below : 1. In 2016, Senso Mongdang of the village was affixed to be held on 7th October, 2016.

As per Ao cultural practice, public announcement (Yim-Yim) was made two days ahead, that is, 5th October, 2016. But those G.B’s made counter announcement on 6th October, 2016 forbidding villagers to attend the said meeting. Their action is a flagrant violation of Ao cultural practice. Therefore they were summoned on 14th August, 2017 to explain their action. They admitted their mistake and were penalized with a token fine.

2. On 10th December, 2016 issue of Tir Yim-Yim, Mr. Imsüneken made a press release making derogatory remarks against Senso Mongdang. But on 21st December, 2016 issue of the same daily paper he made a press release admitting his error.

3. Again on 10th December, 2016, Mr. Lanusucha gave a press release in Tir Yim-Yim, showing a list of people who were opposing Senso Mongdang. In the list were also deceased persons namely, Late Mesuyangba and Late Karienba. The intent was to misguide people. He admitted his mischief vide Tir Yim-Yim issue of 19th December, 2016.

4. Aoyimkum Village Constitution (Temzung), 2009, prohibit formation of any organization/union within the village without prior information and approval of the Village Council. Mr. Nungsangtoshi and his associates formed a new group under his presidentship.

5. On 23rd March 2017, Mr. Imsüneken, Mr. Lanusucha and Mr. Nungsangtoshi submitted resignation from G.B. to the Deputy Commissioner. The said authority duly forwarded their resignation to the Commissioner, Nagaland vide no. GEN19/GB/2016-D/2624-26, dt. 06/06/2017, recommending three new candidates nominated by the general public of Aoyimkum. This letter was received by the Receipt section of the Commissioner’s Office on 13/06/2017 No.9856537393/NoCNR-BY-GS/2016/17 Dmp. But strangely they were re-appointed as G.B’s again.

Assuredly, there was tampering and manipulation of the file.

6. The new group named Aoyimkum Senso Telongjem, with Mr. Nungsangtoshi as President wrote to Aoyimkum Village Council on 23rd Jan, 2018 that they will not associate and participate with the Village Council.

The above statements are true, factual and verifiable. Therefore considering their consistent and repeated actions against the welfare of the village, Aoyimkum Senso Mongdang hereby resolve that the persons and services of Imsüneken, Nungsangtoshi and Lanusucha will not be utilized in any form in the village till the Court deliver a judicious judgment.

Nagaland Post, Dimapur SATURDAY, JULY 27, 2019

Eng bowl out Ireland for 38 to seal victory Mary Kom to feature in inaugural IBL L o n d o n, J u ly 2 6 (AFP): England bowled Ireland out for just 38 to win their one-off Test at Lord’s by 143 runs on Friday, emphatically crushing the visitors’ hopes of a stunning upset.

Ireland, playing only their third Test, were chasing just 182 runs to complete what would have been one of the biggest upsets in cricket history. But they did not get close, lasting just 94 balls as Chris Woakes took a career-best six wickets for 17 runs and Stuart Broad returned figures of 4-19 .

Their second innings score was the seventh-lowest total of all time.

“I knew that was a lot of runs (to make) on that surface,” said Root, whose side mustered just 85 runs themselves in their first innings.

“It’s very pleasing, the way we managed certain pressure situations,” he added.

Ireland, playing England for the first time in a Test, have now lost all three of their Tests following losses to Pakistan and Afghanistan, but their day started brilliantly.

The home side resuming on their overnight 303 for nine, saw their second

innings end with the first ball of the third day’s play when debutant Olly Stone was bowled for a duck by Stuart Thompson.

Rain delayed the scheduled 1000 GMT start by a few minutes but any hopes England had of adding to their overnight total evaporated when Thompson’s inswinger knocked over Stone’s leg stump.

Ireland had yet to give off the mark in their second innings when rain stopped play just seven balls into their chase and kept the players off the field for more than an hour.

But when the match resumed the overcast conditions -- the floodlights were switched on -- made conditions ideal for seamers Woakes and Broad.

The cascade of wickets in an innings where only opener James McCollum made it into double figures began when Woakes had Ireland captain William Porterfield caught behind by wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow for two.

Andy Balbirnie, who top-scored with 55 in Ireland’s first innings total of 207, fell next when he edged Broad to Root at first slip.

Arsenal’s Ozil, Kolasinac escape knife-wielding attackers

Arsenal’s Sead Kolašinac and Mesut Özil during a training session.

Lo n d o n, J u l 2 6 (Agencies): Arsenal footballers Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac escaped unhurt after an attempted carjacking by knife-wielding attackers in North London on Thursday, British media reported.

The Daily Mail website said former Germany international midfielder Ozil was driving his black

Mercedes when the car was boxed in by motorbike riders wearing helmets.

A video clip accompanying the story showed Bosnian defender Kolasinac, who was a passenger, outside the vehicle and confronting the attackers.

Ozil was shown in a photograph talking to police outside a Turkish restaurant. The paper

said waiters and chefs had rushed to the players’ aid.

“Ozil looked absolutely terrified, as anybody would after being chased by men with knives,” witness Azuka Alintah told the website.

“He looked like he was running for his life.

And I suppose he was.”

Arsenal said both players were fine and the incident was being treated as a “private matter”.

Police said they were called out shortly after 1700 local time after reports of an attempted robbery.

“It was reported that suspects on motorbikes had attempted to rob a man who was driving a car,” a spokesperson said.

“The driver, along with his passenger, managed to get away unharmed and travelled to a restaurant in Golders Green, where they were spoken to by officers. There have been no arrests. Enquiries continue.”

Kevin O’Brien, who hit the quickest World Cup century when Ireland beat England at Bangalore in 2011 and made a hundred in their inaugural Test at home to Pakistan last year, fell for just four, lbw to Broad -- one of three wickets that fell for

no runs to leave the visitors 24-6.

An extraordinar y match ended when Woakes cleaned up tailender Tim Murtagh for his best return in Test cricket.

One-day world champions England, missing injured paceman James Anderson, were indebted to nightwatchman Jack Leach’s second-innings 92 -- his career-best score -- with the Somerset left-arm spinner named man-of-the-match for his batting heroics.

Yet there was no disguising that England’s toporder batsmen struggled badly in the match, just a week before the start of a five-match Ashes series against Australia at Edgbaston.

Ireland captain William Porterfield said his side were particularly disappointed because they had put themselves in a position to win the game.

us work hard, I feel bad for him,” said Bajrang.

The 57kg category featured seven wresters, including the very talented Sandeep Tomar and Utkarsh Kale. However, it was Ravi, the last year’s U-23 World Championship silver-medallist, booked a flight to Kazakhstan.

Ravi, who trains at Chhatrasal stadium under his coach Virender, outplayed Rahul 12-2 in the final bout.

The final was expected to be a stiff battle but Ra-

hul, who knocked out 2016 Asian Champion Sandeep Tomar, and Kale, were no match to a wily Ravi.

“There will be stiff competition at the Worlds.

Asia is a powerhouse of wrestling. You have tough wrestlers from Japan, Iran, Mongolia and Kazakhstan.

I am training hard and hopefully I will have good result,” said the 22-year old from Haryana.

The 86kg category also featured just two grapplers with Deepak Punia winning 5-0 against Pawan.

The 20-year-old Deepak has considerable international exposure but it will be his first senior World Championship. He also trains at Chattrasal with Virender.

A few exciting bouts were witnessed in the 97kg category in which Mausam Khatri emerged winner by beating Satyawart Kadiyan 8-1 in the final.

Satyawart, husband of Rio Olympics bronzemedallist Sakshi Malik, opted for an attacking approach but Khatri not only defended well but also outsmarted his rival with his counter-attacks.

Also booking a berth in the World Championship, slated to be held in Kazakshtan from Septmber 14-22, was Sumit Malik in the 125kg category. He beat Satender 3-0 in the final.

The trials for the 74kg category, in which twotime Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar competes, have been pushed to next month since both Jitender Kumar and Praveen Kumar are injured.

They sought more time to recover and the WFI obliged.

PV Sindhu crashes out of Japan Open Tokyo, Jul 26 (PTI): Olympic silver-medallist P V Sindhu crashed out of the Japan Open badminton tournament after a second successive defeat to local favourite Akane Yamaguchi while B Sai Praneeth continued his good form to advance to the semifinals here on Friday.

Sindhu lost to Yamaguchi 18-21 15-21 in a 50minute women’s singles quarterfinal match. This was Sindhu’s second defeat at the hands of Yamaguchi, who had beaten the Indian in the final of the Indonesian Open last week.

However, in men’s singles, Sai Praneeth recorded an easy win over Indonesia’s Tommy Sugiarto to reach the semifinals.

His 21-12 21-15 win over Sugiarto fetched him a clash against top seeded Japanese Kento Momota in the semifinals.

India must Wrestler Bajrang excels in Worlds trials become a sporting New Delhi, Jul 26 (PTI): Star wrestler Bajrang Punia needed less than four minutes to book a berth in India’s World Championship squad while Ravi Kumar Dahiya earned his chance by winning the most competitive category during the trials, here on Friday.

Presence of proven performer Bajrang in the 65kg trials meant that most of the wrestlers in this category preferred to stay away.

Only Harphul Singh, the reigning national champion, took on the world number one but he could not compete with Bajrang for two full rounds. Harphul suffered a knee injury when the Asian Games gold-medallist got hold of his right leg in the second three-minute period.

Bajrang was leading 7-0 when the bout had to be stopped.

“If the bout had lasted for full six minutes, it would have been good for me as well as the fans who came to watch us wrestle. It feels bad when the bout has to end like that. When a wrestler suffers an injury,it really pegs him back. All of

powerhouse: Rijiju

New Delhi, Jul 26 (IANS): Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju thinks that Indian table tennis is on the rise and India must become a global powerhouse in sports.

Rijiju made the comment during the opening ceremony of the third edition of the Ultimate Table Tennis season on Thursday.

Rijiju lauded the efforts of TTFI and UTT for conceptualizing the league and conceded that India has a lot of potential in TT. “In recent times, we have seen that table tennis is on the rise and they have been winning medals at many international tournaments. The sport has immense potential and I hope someday we will win an Olympic medal in table tennis,” Rijiju said during the opening ceremony.

“I compliment UTT for their efforts and believe it has played a huge role in popularising the sport in India. Leagues like these are essential for making a sport popular and I assure everyone that our ministry will do everything to support and promote table tennis in the country,” he added.

Keigo Sonoda 19-21 18-21 in a 41-minute clash in the quarterfinals.

Sindhu was leading 12-7 in the first game but she squandered the advantage as her reigning Asian champion opponent clawed her way back to level the scores at 14-14.

From there on, Sindhu lost momentum allowing Yamaguchi to surge ahead to 18-15 and then to 20-16.

Sindhu won two consecutive points to narrow the gap to 18-20 but could

not stop her opponent from bagging the next point and the first game.

In the second game, both were locked 6-6 initially but from there on, it was Yamaguchi all the way as she raced to 13-7 and then to 16-10. Sindhu recovered a bit by winning two consecutive points but in no time, the Japanese had five match points and she wrapped up the tie without much hassle.

Sai Praneeth, in contrast, hardly broke a sweat

as he just took 36 minutes to clinch up the match.

The unseeded Indian led almost all through the first game leaving the former world championships bronze-medallist Indonesian to play the catch-up game.

The second game was a bit closer but Sai Praneeth kept the lead from the start. Not more than four points separated the two for most part but the Indian reeled off three consecutive points from 18-15 to win the match.

5 Indian boxers enter Thailand International finals New Delhi, Jul 26 (PTI): Former junior world champion Nikhat Zareen (51kg) was the lone woman boxer to make the finals, while Asian silver-winner Deepak Singh (49kg) led a four-strong Indian men’s charge into the summit clashes of the Thailand International Tournament in Bangkok on Friday.

Ashish Kumar (75kg), Commonwealth Games bronze-medallist Mohammed Husammuddin (56kg) and Brijesh Yadav (81kg) were the other three men to make the gold medal bouts.

H o w e v e r, f o r m e r Asian youth silver-medallist Ashish (69kg) lost his semifinal bout to sign off with a bronze medal. Ashish lost to Thailand’s Wuttichai Masuk in a split decision after an exhausting clash.

Among the women, Manju Rani (48kg) and Bhagyabati Kachari (81kg) ended with third-place finishes. Manju went down to Chuthamat Raksat of Thailand, while Bhagyabati lost to China’s Li Qian.

Earlier, Deepak hardly

Nikhat Zareen

broke a sweat against Bhutan’s Tashi Wangdi. The Indian’s dominance was such that Wangdi faced two standing eight counts and was left with a gash above his right eye. The judges eventually ruled unanimously in the Indian’s favour.

Nikhat was up against Thailand’s Jutamas Jitpong.

The Hyderabadi impressed with the ferocity of her punches as she edged past the local favourite 4-1 and

let out a scream to express her elation when her hand was raised by the referee.

Also advancing was Husammuddin (56kg). In a messy slugfest with Thailand’s Ammarit Yaodam, the Indian came out as the more aggressive and clean puncher to emerge triumphant in a 3-2 decision.

In the 75kg category, Ashish defeated Uzbekistan’s Fanat Kakhramnov to make the finals.
