With Rahul adamant, Cong in a big fix Shinde, Kharge frontrunners for party chief; CEC to meet this week Spl. Correspondent/Agencies

Staying firm on his decision, Rahul Gandhi told reporters, “I have made my decision clear. You all know it.”

Sources also say that Rahul Gandhi remains firm on his decision and may join his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra with his mother Sonia Gandhi by end of the week in the United States where Robert Vadra is undergoing surgery.

Rahul Gandhi has continued to look after the party’s day-to-day affairs and holding meetings. Senior leaders have conveyed to him that it was time that he took a call to convene a meeting in the interest of the party and help end the limbo that is damaging the morale of party workers.

It is a matter of debate as to what will happen inside the Congress Working Committee, but senior leaders have confirmed that the only way to end the crisis in the party is to convene the CWC. Only the CWC can pass a resolution for a particular person, as the name can only be ratified by the AICC. As per the rule, senior most general secretary of AICC can convene a CWC in the absence of a president.

NEW DELHI, JUL 1 (NPN): With Gandhi scion Rahul Gandhi adamant not to take back his resignation as INC president, the party is caught in a difficult situation further revealed it lacks leaders besides the Gandhis. The AICC can neither choose a working president nor accept Rahul’s resignation. The situation is only compounding the already crisis situation for the grand old party as many leaders in various states are even contemplating on jumping the sinking Congress ship.

If the party is to choose instead of elect the next AICC president, then there are already to veteran Gandhi loyalists likely to succeed Rahul.

Two names that have been doing the rounds as probable president include - former union minister Sushil Kumar Shinde and former leader of the Con-

gress Parliamentary Party (CPP) in the LokSabha, MallikarjunKharge.

However, Congress Working Committee (CWC) willmeet either on Wednesday or Thursday to discuss the future of the party.

On the other hand young office holders have planned to go on an indefinite strike in AICC to persuade Rahul Gandhi to remain as Congress president. Other Congress leaders whose names were doing the rounds as probable choice for the post of Congress president.wereGhulamNabi Azad, Ashok Gehlot, AK Antony, JanardhanDwivedi and MukulWasnik.

Shinde has also served in various positions in his forty-year career which includes the position of a governor and union minister.

MallikarjunKharge’s too is a very senior leader who started his career in 1972 but his stint at the Centre started in 2014 when he was appointed as the leader of the Congress Parliamentary Party in LokSabha.

As a last-ditch move, all five Congress chief ministers failed to persuade Rahul to continue as the president of the party.

Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot had tweeted that only Rahul Gandhi can lead the party in the current scenario.

“We firmly believe that only he [Rahul Gandhi] can lead the party in the current scenario, his commitment towards well being of our country and countrymen is un-compromised and unmatched,” Ashok Gehlot wrote on Twitter.

This is it!

NEW DELHI, JUL 1 (NPN): The entire state of Nagaland has been declared a “disturbed area” for six more months, with effect from June 30, 2019 under the controversial AFSPA In a notification, MHA joint secretary, Satyendra Garg said that the Centre is of the opinion that the area comprising the whole state of Nagaland is in such a “disturbed and dangerous condition” that the use of armed forces in aid of the civil power is necessary.

Taking note of this, Garg stated that Centre, declared the whole of Nagaland State to be a ‘disturbed area’ for a period of six months with effect from June 30, 2019 for the purpose of that Act. According to an MHA official, the decision to continue the declaration of Nagaland as “disturbed area” has been taken as killings, loot and extortion have been going on in various parts of the state which necessitated the action for the convenience of the security forces operating there.

State kept in the dark about specifics of Framework Agreement: KG Keyne NEW DELHI, JUL 1 (AGENCIES): Four years after a peace accord was signed by the union government with the NSCN (I-M), the lone Rajya Sabha member of parliament from Nagaland, KG Kenye said that the state is “in the dark” about the specifics of the 2015 deal.

Speaking to Hindustan Times, Kenye said though his party supports the centre’s initiative for ending the protracted conflict in Nagaland; the “grey area” of being kept in the dark about the contents of the accord are now prevailing over.

The delay in disclosing the details of the peace accord he said has “created space for unwarranted social and political entities” who do not augur well for peace in Nagaland and the North Eastern region.

“This suspense is not auguring well for the state as well as the region. The unwarranted social and political elements that have crept in will be difficult to get rid of…In the name of freedom there are all kinds of illegal taxes be-

RIIN should be for Nagas by blood only: JCPI DIMAPUR, JUL 1 (NPN): In view of the process to implement the Register of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland (RIIN) from July 10, Joint Committee on Prevention of Illegal Immigration (JCPI) has categorically demanded that RIIN “must be only for Nagas by blood.”

In a press note, JCPI convenor K. Ghokheto Chophy and secretary Tia Longchar further stated that the committee during its meeting held on July 1 resolved that the cut off year for the RIIN must be with effect from December 1, 1963 as per the notification No.AR-8/8/76 dated 28th April 1977, Kohima.

Meanwhile, JCPI has called for an emergency meeting with all tribal apex bodies of Nagaland on July 5, 2019, at 11 a.m. in the Conference Hall of Hotel Saramati, Dimapur.

ing collected, extortions rackets being run and social menaces prevailing,” he told HT. Speaking in the upper house last week during the motion of thanks to the President’s address, Kenye had noted that the peace accord issue was not mentioned in the address. He also pointed that MPs from Nagaland in the last 55 years have “not even taken one hour” of Rajya Sabha for raising issues.

On whether his party has taken up the issue with the centre, Kenye said: “We have faith in the government, but we are in the dark about the term of reference. In 2014 when the (Narendra) Modi government was first sworn in; it

Lotha Hoho objects to proposed railway project DIMAPUR, JUL 1 (NPN): Lotha Hoho (LH) has objected to the proposed railway line from Dimapur to Tizit through Wokha district, stating that LH and frontal organisations, on behalf of the Lotha public, resolved not to allow any such parallel railway through its jurisdiction until and unless the public were convinced that such an initiative was for benefit of the people.

In a press note, LH chairman Mhondamo Ovung and general secretary S Abenthung Ngullie said the Lotha public failed to understand as to why there should be a parallel railway line from Dimapur to Tizit as the proposed line was understood to run in parallel to the existing NF Railway line with only a few kilometres apart from each other, and with a dead end at Tizit.

LH said the laying of a parallel line just about 6km apart from each other was found unjustified since there was hardly any industrial, mineral, agricultural etc products or metropolitan cities at either ends to necessitate such a railway facility. “Unfortunately there is neither of these requirements and above all reasons, the terminal point, at Tizit, is to be a dead end,” LH said, adding that it failed to understand the reason why there should be “such an unnecessary initiative; unless with an ulterior motives.”

LH said it had also written to DC Wokha on the issue cautioning that no such parallel line would not be allowed through Lotha territory. It said any such parallel railway line through Lotha land without the consent of LH would attract stern opposition from Lotha tribe and the concerned authority would be held responsible.

showed resolve to solve the pending issue in the shortest possible time, but this delay will have a cascading effect on the peace in the region.”

While the NPF supports the BJP’s bid to create a National Register of Citizens; it is vehemently opposed to the Citizenship Amendment Bill. “Why do we need more people in the country; are we short of people and working hands?

Will policy decisions be taken by outsiders?” Kenye said, underlining that his party will fight the CAB. The other issue that the NPF wants the Modi government to take up is ensuring the safety of minorities and protecting their rights.

“That [safety of minorities] is one area where they have failed miserably.

The one that national leaders have to accept is that diversity lies at the core of this nation’s foundation, and despite partition [in 1947] on religious lines, the architects of the constitution chose India to be a secular nation,” Kenye said.

JD (U) alleges irregularities in PMAY NTUCT reaffirms to implement Cooking gas cylinders DIMAPUR, JUL 1 (NPN): Claiming that it had received reports that cut-money was being demanded and taken randomly from beneficiaries Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) in the State, Janata Dal (United) Nagaland has demanded an independent probe into the matter.

In a press communiqué issued by its media & publicity cell, the party explained that while it welcomed the noble scheme launched by the NDA government in June 2015, it had learnt that even photographers responsible for providing evidence of the ongoing and completed construction of houses by the beneficiaries were demanding money for the photography. Moreover, there were reports that genuine persons were being

deprived of the benefits, it added.

As such, the party cautioned the department concerned to implement the Central housing scheme for urban and rural poor judiciously.

Asking the authority concerned to set up an independent inquiry committee to delve into the authenticity of demands made from the beneficiaries of PMAY, JD (U) Nagaland demanded that the panel must also conduct a probe whether the scheme was reaching the genuine people or its funds were being siphoned off by middlemen in the name of bogus persons, besides investigating other irregularities that might be taking place under the very nose of the implementing department.

The par ty fur ther urged the beneficiaries not

to entertain any demand for cut-money and report such matters to it on the mobile numbers 94360 13273 and 88374 82416.

The JD (U) Nagaland also warned persons who had taken the cut-money to either return the money or face legal consequences.

As published in Nagaland Post on June 29, Centre sanctioned construction of 2,983 additional houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) for Nagaland.

In pursuance of the State government’s declaration of Nagaland as “Dry State”, NTUCT declared that it reserved the right to stop and frisk any vehicle suspected of ferrying banned liquor and substances within its jurisdiction.

Asking syndicate operators to stop their nefarious trade, the union pointed out that it was the unanimous view of its all members that any national worker, no matter how big and powerful, or police official found running such a racket in connivance with bootleggers would be exposed.

DIMAPUR, JUL 1 (NPN): The price of non-subsidised Liquide Petroleum Gas (LPG) has been reduced by Rs 100 per cylinder from July 1, Indian Oil Corp (IOC) said.

NRC deadline extended by a month; final list on July 31

NE W D E L HI , J U L 1 (PTI): The Centre has given one month extension to complete the enumeration process for updating the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam by July 31, when the final list of the state’s residents will be published.

In a notification, the Registrar General of India said the decision has been taken as the exercise to enumerate citizens in the NRC, a list of Assam’s residents, could not be completed within the specified date of June 30.

“And whereas, the said enumeration in the state of Assam could not be completed within the period specified...the central government has considered it necessary and expedient in the public interest to complete the said enumeration in connection with the updation of the National Register of Citizens, 1951 by 31st day of July, 2019,” the notification issued by Registrar General of Citizen Registration Vivek Joshi said.

On December 6, 2013, the government had issued the first notification setting a deadline of three years for completion of the entire NRC process. However, since then, six extensions were given by the government in regular intervals as the exercise has not yet been completed.

“Now, therefore, pursuant to the provisions of sub-rule (3) of rule 4A of the Citizenship (Registration of Citizens and Issue of National Identity Cards) Rules, 2003 and in supersession of the notification number S.O. 6329(E), dated December 26, 2018, except as respects things done or omitted to be done before such supersession, the Registrar General of Citizen Registration, hereby, notifies that the enumeration in connection with the updation of the National Register of Citizens, 1951, in respect of the state of Assam shall be completed within the period ending on the 31st day of July, 2019,” the notification said.

When the draft NRC

was published on July 30 last year, there was a huge controversy over the exclusion of 40.7 lakh people from it.

The draft NRC included the names of 2.9 crore people out of the total 3.29 crore applications. The names of over a lakh more people were also excluded in a list published last month.

The final list of the NRC will be published on July 31 this year.

The Supreme Courtmonitored NRC exercise, aimed at identifying illegal immigrants in the state that borders Bangladesh, was carried out only in Assam, which faced influx of people from Bangladesh since the early 20th century.

When the NRC was first prepared in Assam in 1951, the state had 80 lakh citizens.

According to the 2011 census, Assam’s total population is over 3.11 crore. The process of identification of illegal immigrants in the state has been widely debated and become a contentious issue in the state politics.

Two washed away by flood waters in M’laya Shillong, Jul 1 (PTI): A BSF personnel and a minor girl were reportedly washed away by flood waters following heavy rainfall in Meghalaya for the past 36 hours, officials said Monday.

The rains have trigerred several landslides, caused trees to be uprooted and damage to roads across the north eastern state besides leading to the rise in the level of water bodies.

Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma has asked district deputy commissioners to take immediate steps to provide relief and assistance to affected people.

Request all citizens to be careful as water levels are rising due to heavy rains ...

All deputy commissioners were asked to monitor the situation and take immediate steps to give necessary relief, the chief minister said on his official Twitter handle.

He said, Heavy rains in many parts of the state have caused extensive damage to private and public property. Cases of landslides, collapsed trees, erosion and road damage were

reported.

A 11-year-old girl was swept away by the waters of a stream when she was returning from school at Umsohiong village in East Khasi Hills district.

The BSF prsonnel reportedly went missing in West Garo Hills district since Sunday evening after he was washed away by the fast flowing Ganol river Sunday evening.

A manhunt was launched involving the BSF, the state police and the district disaster authorities to find the man, who had been to a picnic with his colleagues of the 55 batallion, which is stationed at Dobasipara in Tura, according to officials.

Search operations to find him were launched at dawn this morning. The efforts are being coordinated by the district disaster management committee, district superintendent of police M G R Kumar told PTI. The strong river current is hampering search and rescue efforts, the SP said adding that people living in the downstream areas have been asked to keep a look out.

Extend PR in J&K for 6 months: Shah

NEW DELHI, JUL 1 (PTI): The Centre had no option but to extend the President’s rule for six months in Jammu and Kashmir as the Election Commission intends to hold assembly polls there towards the end of the year, Home Minister Amit Shah told Rajya Sabha on Monday as he moved a statutory resolution in this regard. The statutory resolution on extending President’s rule by another six months with effect from July 3, 2019 was approved

by Lok Sabha on Friday.

“After assessing the current situation, including security and religious activities, the Election Commission has decided to hold election in Jammu and Kashmir towards the end of this year. The government did not have any option but to bring this resolution,” Shah said in the Upper House.

He hoped that the House will understand the circumstances and support the resolution. With the opposition questioning the delay in holding assembly polls, Shah said assembly elections were never conducted in the

past in the state during the month of Ramzan, which was from May 7 to June 4 this year. He also cited the Amarnath Yatra from June 30 to August 15 and said the Bakarwal community also moves to higher reaches during this time and returns only in October.

J-K Governor Satypal Malik had on November 21, 2018 dissolved the 87member assembly citing apprehensions of horse trading and lack of credible alternative for government formation. On December 20, 2018 President’s rule was imposed. The Home Minister on Monday also moved the Jammu and Kashmir

Reservation (Amendment) Bill, 2019, to replace an ordinance issued by the previous government.

People living along the International Border (IB) in Jammu and Kashmir will get benefits of reservation in direct recruitment, promotion and admission in professional courses on a par with those living along the Actual Line of Control (ALoC). The minister said that reservation will benefit about 3.5 lakh people living in 435 villages of the three districts -- Kathua, Samba and Jammu. People living along the international border were affected because of unprovoked shelling from

across the border. “They had to live in bunkers. Children education gets affected”.

There is a feeling among people of these three districts that their interests have been ignored, Shah said, adding that the government had to bring an Ordinance to correct this anomaly and provide reservation to them as well.

The amendment bill has already got approval of Lok Sabha. The bill once passed by Parliament will amend the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation Act, 2004 to bring persons residing in areas adjoining the IB within the ambit of reservation, on a par with those living in areas adjoining the Actual Line of Contro (ALoC).

People living in areas adjoining the IB in Jammu and Kashmir were not included in the ambit of the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation Act, 2004 and Rules, 2005. The rules provided for reservation in direct recruitment, promotions and admission in different professional courses to various categories.

“After some altercation & scuffle over a parking issue in Hauz Qazi, tension arose between two groups of people from different communities. We have taken legal action & all efforts are being made to pacify feelings & bring about amity. People are requested to help in restoring normalcy (sic),” the DCP tweeted.

A video surfaced online which purportedly showed a man allegedly being beaten up by some people, who were suspected to be drunk, over a parking issue.

Reports on high unemployment rate misleading, says Gangwar NEW DELHI, JUL 1 (PTI): Union Minister Santosh Kumar Gangwar Monday said that reports about high unemployment rate in the country are misleading and asserted that employment generation is the priority of the government.

Amid concerns in various quarters about reports on rising unemployment, the Minister of State for Labour and Employment told the Lok Sabha that he was ready for a discussion on the employment situation in the country.

He also said the government is looking into the issue of unemployment and would be coming out with a report. During the Question Hour, Congress member Adoor Prakash said that unemployment rate in the country was high and asked whether the government has any master plan in place to generate more jobs in every sector of the economy.

In response, Gangwar said reports about high unemployment rate are not fully true, eliciting protests

from Opposition members.

Referring to the reports, the minister said they are “brahmak (misleading) baat hai”. “Employment generation coupled with improving employability is the priority of the government,” he said.

For the 2018-19 period, under the Prime Minister’s Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP), jobs were generated for 5,86,728

people as on March 1, 2019, according to data provided in a written reply. While mentioning various initiatives taken by the government, Gangwar said 18.26 crore loans were sanctioned under the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY) up to March 31, 2019. “Till June 16, 2019, benefits have been given to 1.21 crore beneficiaries,” he added.

Mamata meme case: SC issues notice to 20-year-old man lynched WB govt on delay in releasing BJP activist in Malda; two arrested NE W D E L HI , J U L 1 (PTI): The Supreme Court Monday issued show cause notice to West Bengal government on a contempt plea for delay by a day in releasing on bail a BJP activist who was arrested last month for allegedly posting Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s meme on social media.

It has been alleged in the petition that there was a delay in releasing BJP activist Priyanka Sharma despite the apex court’s order granting bail to her. A vacation bench of the apex court had on May 14 directed immediate release of Sharma, a BJP Yuva Morcha leader, on bail but she was released on May 15. She was arrested on May 10 by the West Bengal Police under section 500 (defamation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and under the provisions of the Information Technology

Act on a complaint by a local Trinamool Congress leader for allegedly posting the meme on Banerjee on social media. Section 500 of the IPC entails punishment for defamation with simple imprisonment for a term which may extend to two years, or with fine, or with both. On Monday, the contempt plea filed by Rajib Sharma, brother of the BJP activist, came up for hearing before a bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi.

The bench, also comprising Justices Deepak Gupta and Aniruddha Bose, issued notice to the state government and others on the plea and posted the matter for hearing after four weeks.

Rajib Sharma approached the apex court alleging that there was a delay of over 24 hours in releasing his sister from jail, despite the court’s May 14 order.

Zaira Wasim’s decision to quit acting ignites debate NEW DELHI, JUL 1 (PTI): Kashmir-born “Dangal” actor Zaira Wasim’s decision to quit films, on grounds that her work interfered with her faith, has triggered debate in political circles with some leaders saying she is entitled to make her choice while others claimed her remarks may give “fodder to bigots”. The National Award winning actor on Sunday announced her “disassociation” from the field of acting, saying she was not happy with the line of work as it interfered with her faith and religion. Several politicians such as National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah, Congress’ chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala, Congress leader Milind Deora, and Shiv Sena’s Priyanka Chaturvedi weighed in on her decision and the reasons for it.

Abdullah said no one had the right to question Wasim’s decision.

“Who are any of us to question @ZairaWasimmm’s choices? It’s her life to do with as she pleases. All I will do is wish her well & hope that what ever she does makes her happy,” he said on Twitter. Surjewala said while he respects Wasim’s decision to quit films and her creative liberty, faith has nothing to do with artistic expression. “Such remarks give fodder to bigots on either side of the divide to misconceive & mislead,” he said on Twitter. In a detailed post on her Facebook page K Y M C

on Sunday, the 18-year-old actor said she had completed five years in the profession and wanted to confess that she was not “truly happy with this identity”, that is her line of work.

“Phoneys suddenly lecturing on #ZairaWaseem & #NusratJahan. I have Hindu & Jain friends right here in SoBo who renounced cushy careers for their gurus & faith. You can choose whether religion determines your career or love life. Unless minors, let others decide for themselves,” tweeted Deora. He also made a reference to newly married and newly elected Trinamool Congress MP Nusrat Jahan who has been criticised by hardline Muslim clerics for wearing ‘sindoor’ and the ‘mangalsutra’ and refuses to toe their line.

Taking a different tack, Shiv Sena’s Chaturvedi said in a series of posts that while everyone had the right to practise their faith, it “should not be used sound intolerant to career choices, which it clearly isn’t”. “This actually does a huge disservice to her religion & reinforces the narrative about Islam being intolerant. “Hindi cinema has seen many success stories of people from the same faith, does her reason imply that all these stalwarts didn’t know their religion?

Some equate her decision to that of Vinod Khanna, did he say his religion says that his choice of career blocks his faith?”, she said.

He has alleged that during the hearing in the apex court on May 14, the state government had suppressed the fact that a closure report was filed in the case before the concerned trial court on May 13 itself. A vacation bench of the top court had on May 14 granted her bail and directed her to tender a “written apology” at the time of her release from jail for sharing the meme on Banerjee, saying that freedom of speech of an individual ends when it infringes upon others’ rights. She was earlier sent to 14-day judicial custody by a trial court there. On May 15, the counsel appearing for Rajib Sharma had informed the vacation bench that she was not released from jail on May 14 despite the court’s order granting her bail and ordering her immediate release.

M AL DA( W B) , J U L 1 (PTI): A man who was allegedly beaten by locals for stealing a bike has died, triggering a protest when his body reached here from a Kolkata hospital on Sunday. Two persons have been arrested in connection with the lynching of 20-yearold Sanaul Sheikh, Malda Superintendent of Police Aloke Rajoria said.

Sheikh was assaulted allegedly by some locals at Baishnabnagar Bazar on Wednesday, after he was found stealing the bike, the SP said.

A purported video of the attack went viral, on the basis of which some of the culprits could be identified.

Sheikh was initially taken to Bedrabad primary health centre, from where he was referred to Malda Medical College and Hospital. He was shifted to SSKM Hos-

pital in Kolkata, but Sheikh died on Saturday.

A senior functionary of Malda Zilla Parisad, Chandana Sarkar said, no communal angle should be given to the incident.

Following a written complaint by his mother, the police have started a case under several sections of the IPC, the SP said.

When the people were proceeding towards Baishnabnagar police station after staging a blockade on NH34 on Sunday, the police requested Congress MLA of the adjoining assembly segment of Sujapur, Suja Khan Choudhury, and other party leaders to pacify the mob, the MLA said.

“We managed to convince the mob not to proceed further and take the body back home for religious rites and burial,” he said.

Under attack

roving that he is undoubtedly a hard-boiled politician with unmatched oratorical skills who would stun opponents and force them to grope for responses, prime minister Narendra Modi has been returning his compliments to the Gandhis in Parliament on every occasion. The Gandhis- Rahul in particular- had fired all his ammunition at Modi particularly during the recent Lok Sabha campaign. Rahul had been reacting to Modi’s jibe against the Gandhis in his campaign speeches. However, after the demoralising defeat in both the 2014 and the icing in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Modi seems to be having the last laugh. Not a day passes by in parliament without Modi taking a jibe at the Gandhis, much to the discomfiture of both Sonia and Rahul. Unfortunately, added to the woeful humiliation, the Gandhis lack the oratorical skills of Modi to hit back. Taking a jibe at the Gandhis, Modi slammed them that they ought to accept defeat with humility and not argue that if Congress lost, the India has lost. Modi has been hitting back at the Congress for opposing some of his government’s decision like NRC . He mocked the Congress party for overlooking Rajiv Gandhi’s acceptance of the NRC in the Assam Accord. He also raked up the 1984 anti-Sikh riots by saying that “People accused of murder in 1984 are today big leaders in the Congress party.” He also did not spare the Indira Gandhi Congress government for imposing emergency which he said, crushed India’s soul. Modi also hit out at India’s first prime minister and the father of Indira and grandfather of Rahul for failing to resolve the Kashmir issue. He could not resist the jibe that Nehru did not solve the Kashmir issue and that had Sardar Patel been prime minister, the Kashmir issue would have been solved. Modi’s attacks on the Gandhis both in or out of parliament has an explanation. The vow for a Congressfree India continues and Modi is only pursuing the agenda. With Congress in a quandary over Rahul’s resignation and with party rank and file feeling rudderless, Modi perhaps sensed that and appears determined to deliver the coup de grâce to a wounded foe. The Gandhis are no doubt on Modi’s hit list because once he incapacitates them, then the Congress would be vulnerable. Even as Modi and his party leaders are going hammer and tongs at the Gandhis and the Congress, several Congress leaders including elected members are deserting the grand old party as they feel, there is no future. Even the new Congress Parliamentary Party leader Adhir Ranjan Choudhury failed to inspire his party in parliament. This has further added to the gloom within the party after the erudite orator and MP from Thiruvananthapuram Sashi Tharoor’s willingness to be CPP leader was overlooked. That itself revealed the thinking within the Gandhis and their loyalists who do not want a strong leader who could pose future challenge to the Rahul the heir apparent who has proved he has not reached the desired level to lead India’s oldest party. Under attack from outside and within, the Gandhis will be at sea on how to salvage, least being to inspire the grand old party in the coming days.

DailyDevotion The Inevitable Penalty You will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny. —Matthew 5:26 There is no heaven that has a little corner of hell in it. God is determined to make you pure, holy, and right, and He will not allow you to escape from the scrutiny of the Holy Spirit for even one moment. He urged you to come to judgment immediately when He convicted you, but you did not obey. Then the inevitable process began to work, bringing its inevitable penalty. Now you have been “thrown into prison, [and]… you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny” (Matthew 5:25-26). Yet you ask, “Is this a God of mercy and love?” When seen from God’s perspective, it is a glorious ministry of love. God is going to bring you out pure, spotless, and undefiled, but He wants you to recognize the nature you were exhibiting— the nature of demanding your right to yourself.

The moment you are willing for God to change your nature, His recreating forces will begin to work. And the moment you realize that God’s purpose is to get you into the right relationship with Himself and then with others, He will reach to the very limits of the universe to help you take the right road. Decide to do it right now, saying, “Yes, Lord, I will write that letter,” or, “I will be reconciled to that person now.”

These sermons of Jesus Christ are meant for your will and your conscience, not for your head. If you dispute these verses from the Sermon on the Mount with your head, you will dull the appeal to your heart.

If you find yourself asking, “I wonder why I’m not growing spiritually with God?”— then ask yourself if you are paying your debts from God’s standpoint. Do now what you will have to do someday. Every moral question or call comes with an “ought” behind it— the knowledge of knowing what we ought to do.

“We often miss opportunity because it’s dressed in overalls and looks like work” ~ Thomas A. Edison

W

h e n we we r e young, we spent two months every year with my mother’s parents on a huge farm in a village near Bhopal. We slept in mosquito netted beds in the garden, we shelled peas and roasted green channas, we played pittoo and all sorts of indoor games with shells and seeds. We were fed relentlessly. Did I ever sit down and ask my grandmother things about herself ? Not that I remember. I called her Dujama and learnt her name twenty years later !

I was far too much in awe of my grandfather to even talk to him.

My granddaughter is shy. Once she loosens up she tells me all about her world. But she, like me as a child, has expressed no interest in who I am or what I am interested in.

I am her Dadi and that is enough for her. Will my granddaughter remember me when I am gone ? She is small now but I shall to try to pass on as much as I know to her – about my family and the world around us and perhaps how to survive it.

Are we the only grandparents / Do any animals know their grandparents the way humans do ? For most species the answer is no. Insects spread out immediately and the ones that are in community housing – like ants and bees - are brought up communally in nurseries by feeders and caretakers. In 2010, researchers reported, in Current Biology, that in gall-forming aphid colo-

nies, older females defend their relatives after they’ve ceased to reproduce.

Most birds do not recognize their family members after their first year.

There are exceptions to this, especially among social birds such as cranes, crows, and jays. A 2007 study, in the journal Evolution, found that older female Seychelles warblers help their offspring raise chicks. Canada Geese also remember their parents, and may even rejoin their parents and siblings during winter and on migration.

There is cooperative breeding and care in about 200 species of birds. But that doesn’t necessarily include grandmothers.

In some cases, the life of the wild mammal is so short that the grandparents are dead before the grandchild is of an age to know them. In some cases, the children spread out so that they don’t compete for resources – male tigers for instance – so the chances of running into a grandparent are slim. In many species, the mother and grandmother fight each other for resources, if they’re in the same area.

But there are so many that live in sociable close knit g roups. Humans, whales and dolphins have evolved to live well beyond child-bearing age, because this helps raise the survival chances of their descendants, argues a new theory of ageing in social animals.

Dr Ronald Lee of the University of California, in the journal Proceedings in the National Academy

Just as I needed mine of Sciences, says “In some species, post-reproductive females make substantial contributions to their descendants, either through direct parental care or through grandparental care. Post-reproductive bottlenose dolphins and pilot whales babysit, guard, and even breastfeed their grandchildren”.

Many whale species travel in family pods that include both grandmothers and grandcalves. Orcas and short-finned pilot whales, belugas and narwhals, go through menopause. Once they stop reproducing, grandmothers stop competing with their daughters for mating opportunities. That enables them to live in and play an important role in social pods where all the male and female offspring stay together. Studies show that adult orca sons are more likely to survive with their mothers around. Orca grandmothers often lead their pods and can live for decades after they stop reproducing. Scientists, writing in Current Biology, say that the elders are important because they help the pod survive by remembering the best places to find food and share fish with their grand-calves. In groups of sperm whales old females

help babysit the group’s young while their mothers dive for food.

Great apes appear to be aware of their grandchildren, and have even been known to foster grandchildren if the parent is dead or ineffective (just like humans).

Rhesuses and Langurs live with their daughters and grandchildren in loving relationships and the grandmother is the boss.

The grandmothers are in charge of defending the group’s children against assaults from humans, dogs and other monkeys. Within the group, grandmothers give their own grandchildren special treatment, grooming them and disciplining them if they step out of line.

Elephants often live in large families made up of babies, juveniles, and mothers. Elephant herds are usually led by the grandmothers who collaborate with their daughters to raise the young. In a study, in Scientific Reports, scientists found that the calves of young mothers were eight times more likely to survive if their grandmothers lived near them than if they didn’t. The experienced matriarch was more likely to offer solutions in

Nagaland Post, Dimapur TuesDAY, July 2, 2019

life threatening situations than the inexperienced mother. Grandmothers led the family to the right places to forage or drink, or when interacting with other elephant families.

According to a study done of 834 individual elephants in Kenya’s Amboseli National Park over a period of 40 years, researchers say “The new and exciting part of our study is the strong effect females have on the reproduction of daughters and granddaughters in their family. Daughters of longlived mothers lived longer themselves and had higher reproductive rates.”

Feral cat colonies, according to cat behaviour experts at the University of Bristol, are “based around multigenerational cooperation between females— grandmother, her daughters, and their kittens.”

Male cats are not involved in raising young.

Do dog grandparents acknowledge their granddaughters/sons, or do they just treat them as random dogs? It depends on the “bonding” period they have when they are born.

If they get a few months together they will recognize each other. If the grandparents of the pups are around, when they are puppies, they might possible be able to recognize them if given this same bonding opportunity. Although adult dogs can recognize close relatives, that ability depends on what happened to the dog as a puppy.

Their genetic ancestors, the wolves, still move in family packs in which

the parents hold the highest status and are the pack leaders. A family of wolves can be large and extended, including aunts and uncles, siblings, grandparents, and even adoptees. The basic form of a wolf pack consists of a bonded pair, known as the breeding pair or alphas. These are the leaders of the family and their bond can last a lifetime. The alpha pair are nearly always the parents or grandparents of the other pack members, until they become too old to continue as leaders, in which case, if they have been benign leaders, their descendants will look after them. If they were bullies as alphas they will be driven out.

According to Lee’s theory of ageing, If a species makes no post-birth investment in raising its offspring, then the species depends entirely on fertility, not on a long life. Eg. butterflies lay many eggs, then die. But in species where parents have few offspring and invest time and energy into promoting their children’s survival, natural selection would logically favour a longer lifespan. So, if grandparents help their children succeed as parents this will favour living even longer. Anthropologists have found clear evidence that older women have a beneficial effect on grandchildren in traditional societies. My granddaughter needs me and her Nani. Just as I needed mine.

Post-mortem Effects of pollutants

H

umans are today exposed to air pollution of all kinds.

They are thus affected by the harmful effects of pollutants in the air they breathe.

Vehicular exhausts cause air pollution: One of the major causes of air pollution is vehicular traffic.

Vehicles of all kinds have multiplied across the country. Today traffic congestion on roads is very common.

During peak and rush hours the traffic snarls are difficult to cope with for motorists and pedestrians. Commuting has therefore become difficult. Vehicles whether they are cars, buses, trucks, motorbikes, scooters or rickshaws are run on fuel.

There is a process of fuel combustion that leads to the exhaust of poisonous compounds. It includes noxious gases and particulate matter.

The harmful gases include hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide.

There are many causes of air pollution: Factories also contribute to air pollution. The smoke generated by factories is let out into the air thus polluting the air

K

that we breathe. Similarly, the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, as also the burning of wood for cooking, and of farm wastes lead to harmful smoke.

Production of electricity is also mostly through the process of burning nonrenewable fossil fuels that leave dangerous smoke in the air. The burning of garbage also creates harmful smoke. Construction activity also creates particulate matter that pollutes air.

Air pollution affects us adversely: Today we are witnessing high levels of air pollution that affect the health of man and other creatures. People around the world are suffering from respiratory and cardiac problems, and various other diseases affecting other organs of the body.

Air pollution also causes cancer. Millions of people around the world die each year due to air pollution.

The gases that cause air pollution are also greenhouse gases, and have caused global warming and climate change that affect the Earth and its ecology.

NSCN (I-M) statement on Kukis in Naga areas

A

s the nomadic Kuki histor y in Naga country has deliberately been distorted with political motive time and again by some Kuki writers, the truth has to be told. It is a fact beyond dispute that all nation-states are built on the foundation of their respective unique histories.

But, there are some people and nations that have sold out their histories to become a part of the colonial powers. The Kukis were brought to Naga country by the British Political Agent Col. Mc Culloch from the Chin Hills in Burma to use as mercenary forces in fighting against the sovereign independent Naga villages that were ruled by the Naga kings like that of the Greek City-states. Of course, the British power could occupy a part of the Naga territories, but the rest part called ‘free Nagas’ remains as free as ever. Armed by the British with muzzle loading guns, the Kukis plundered many Naga villages and massacred many Nagas which the British authorities later regretted and disarmed the

Kukis. In spite of this fact, our generous and noble fathers allowed the Kukis to settle in our lands on the basis of payment of loyalty land tax. We have hundreds of documents in support of this. The Kukis are nomadic tribe and we quote Sir James Johnston, “Kukis are nomadic.” In 1957, the Government of India gave generous relief funds to the ‘Kuki refugees’ from Burma who had come to settle in Naga areas of Manipur state. In the subsequent years - 1963 and 1988, thousands of Kuki refugees from Burma came to the Naga areas for shelter.

With the departure of the Britishers, the Nagas in the British occupied areas declared their independence on 14th August 1947 and joined forces with the free Nagas and that is what is called the uniqueness of Naga history. But, on what kind of historical basis the Kukis are trying to build ‘Kuki homeland’ in Naga country? They may have every right to do so in Chin Hills, but not here in Naga areas.

Soon after the departure of the Britishers, the Indian and the Burmese states occupied Naga territories where the Naga people put up tough resistance against their aggression for decades. History will ever speak of it that the Nagas have neither been a part of Union of India nor that of Burma either by conquest of the two occupational forces or by consent of the Nagas.

That is another ingredient of the uniqueness of Naga history. The Government of India has finally recognized ‘the unique history and situation of the Nagas.’

The Nagas are living in their own land, not in any other peoples’ lands.

They are the owners of their land. The history of the Nagas is land-based; the politics of the Nagas is land-based; the identity of the Nagas is land-based; the culture of the Nagas is land-based; the social system of the Nagas is landbased and the economy of the Nagas is land-based.

They can never part with their land, which is their

The brevity of life on earth and its tremendous responsibilities

ing David at the end of his life said: “Our days on earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding.” (1 Chr 29:15) Life on earth is very short. It is indeed, just like a shadow that disappears at sunset. But this short life will appear even shorter when we consider the following facts: A day measured as a unit of time is composed of 24 hours out of which 12 hours are considered as daytime and the rest 12 hours as nighttime. Now in an average person’s life, he or she spends about 8 to 10 hours sleeping. That is to say that in a person’s lifetime, about half of his life is spent in sleeping. Now when one is asleep, all of life’s activities come to a standstill. After

all, not to talk of physical activities, one is not even thinking, when one is asleep. When we consider all these things, we can correctly say that in a person’s lifetime, about half of his time is spent in “None functioning sleep!”

And in that sense, broadly speaking, we can say that a person who has lived for a 100 years on earth has in fact, lived only 50 years of productive life!

If I apply these facts to my own life, though I have lived for 63 years on earth, I have in fact lived only 31 and half years. But If I were to further analyse those 31 and half years into “Productive” and “Non-Productive” years, I would have to admit that I have wasted many

years in non-productive activities. Though born and raised in a Christian family, my real conversion into Christianity occurred when I was 17 years or so. From that experience onward, my life took a turn for honest and upright living despite many falls here and there. But as for my life before that transformation took place, it was a life of disobedience, dishonesty and waywardness (with perhaps some flashes of goodness here and there)!

To call a long story short, all in all, I have perhaps lived only about 27 years of my life in real productive activities. And here I am grateful to God that I have been able to put 21 years (1997-2019) of very hard labour into writing, travel-

ling and speaking on who we Nagas are, at the national level as well as at the international and universal levels. All these thousands of hours of very hard labour were inspired by the very limited theological, historical, political and philosophical knowledge that I had acquired from my student days. But lest I rattle on too much about myself, let me stop there!

As a concluding remark, I hope every reader of this article will tonight pause for a few moments and reflect on their own lives as to how they have lived them so far. My next article will reflect on the tremendous responsibilities that God has reposed on all individuals on earth.

Kaka D. Iralu Reader’s note: Articles or letters published in any of the columns do not reflect the view of this

inheritance from God. However, the Nagas never view the Kukis as their enemies. As our fathers accommodated them to live together in days past, so we are also prepared to do so if they admit the hard reality. In fact, we are giving room to the Kukis to be part of the Naga nation.

But, Naga people will never allow and tolerate any attempt by the Kukis to carve out Kuki homeland from Naga territories in collusion with the Government of India and Manipur government. The Naga people are prepared to talk with them on any issue if they acknowledge land ownership of the Nagas.

We believe the Government of India will not commit the political blunder of playing politics over the land of the Nagas to appease the Kukis or others for its vested interest.

Let this be known to the whole world that the Nagas will never part with their God given portion of land and defend it eternally against any aggressors big or small.

Sir,

Of power cuts and fluctuations

Too much…..simply too much! Much talk is being circulated in social media about the present state government being mighty serious in bringing about development and alleviating the living conditions of its citizens through various programs.

Relating to this, I would like to highlight a common concern that the primitive infrastructure, coupled with the inefficiency of the power department’s staff (could be due to lack of proper training) is, time and again, testing the patience of the power consumers to the limits.

Supply of electricity has become so erratic that not a day goes by without the common consumer worrying about stable power supply – particularly during midsummer. To add to this, the constant power fluctuation has destroyed stabilizers, invertors, etc, at many a home (including mine – location Tenyiphe). And there is never an explanation for power cuts and fluctuations offered.

Is there an option?

35 die as bus falls into gorge in Kashmir JAMMU, JUL 1 (PTI): At least 35 people died and over a dozen were injured when an overcrowded bus skidded off a hilly road and fell into a deep gorge in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district on Monday morning, officials said.

The minibus, which was on its way from Keshwan to Kishtwar, skidded off the Keshwan-Thakrai road and rolled down into the deep gorge around 7.30 am, officials said.

Kishtwar Deputy Commissioner A S Rana told PTI that the 28-seater bus was carrying 52 passengers when the accident occurred, adding that a probe would be ordered.

Thirty-five people died and 17 others were injured, district Senior Superintendent of Police Shakti Pathak told PTI. The police, security agencies and the locals launched a rescue operation and shifted the injured to the hospital. Choppers were flown in and three passengers were airlifted from the site to the Jammu Government Medical College Hospital here, officials said.

Mayawati attacks UP govt for inclusion of 17 OBCs in SC list LUCKNOW/BALLIA JUL 1 (PTI): BSP chief Mayawati Monday attacked the Uttar Pradesh government for including 17 Other Backward Classes (OBC) in the Scheduled Caste list, terming the move a “big fraud” and demanded its immediate withdrawal.

Mayawati claimed that a similar “unconstitutional and illegal” move was made by the previous Samajwadi Party government to cheat these castes, but her party had opposed it even then.

“This is a big fraud with the members of these 17 castes. They will neither be able to receive benefits under 27 per cent quota of the OBC, nor under the SC category as the state government cannot list or remove them from any of

ity of fresh polls, the former chief minister said those in the BJP were not “sanyasis” (seers), and the future of the government is based on the decision taken by over 20 disgruntled Congress-JD(S) legislators.

“About the political developments, I am yet to know about the resignation of Anand Singh. The only thing is that his resignation shows there is large-scale

unease in Congress. We are not bothered about the resignations, our first concern is the people and drought,” he said.

“We will keep watching the situation. Anything may happen. If the government collapses, we are not responsible. It will collapse under its own weight,” he

told reporters.

“Only after the collapse of this government we can explore the constitutional provisions to form the new government. There is no question of elections. We are a strong force of 105 members and we have every right to make a claim for forming the government if

She said that in 2007 her government had requested the Congress dispensation at the Centre to include the 17 castes in the Scheduled Caste list.

“We had demanded that SC quota be increased so that benefits for the cat-

Priyanka, Mayawati attacking UP govt out of frustration: BJP MP Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and BSP chief Mayawati are attacking the Uttar Pradesh government on several issues out of “frustration” over their parties’ dismal performance in the Lok Sabha polls, a BJP MP has said.

“These days Priyanka Gandhi and Mayawati are attacking the Yogi Adityanath government on law and order, and other issues through a series of tweets. This is nothing but the frustration over their parties’ drubbing in the recent Lok Sabha polls,” parliamentarian Virendra Singh Mast told reporters here Sunday night.

Cong MLA’s resignation reflects unease in K’taka ruling coalition: Yeddyurappa

BENGALURU, JUL 1 (PTI): Karnataka BJP chief B S Yeddyurappa Monday said Vijayanagara Congress MLA Anand Singh’s resignation reflects large-scale unease in the ruling coalition and the government will collapse under its own weight, after which his party will explore the constitutional provisions to form the new government.

egory do not get harmed due to the inclusion of the 17 castes. It is unfortunate that neither the Congress, nor the BJP government at the Centre did anything about it,” she said.

The BSP president demanded that the state government immediately withdraw the “undemocratic order” and increase the SC quota to ensure that the category’s interests were not harmed.

Last week the state government had issued a directive to include 17 OBCs in the Scheduled Caste list.

They are Nishad, Bind, Mallah, Kewat, Kashyap, Bhar, Dhivar, Batham, Machua, Prajapati, Rajbhar, Kahar, Kumhar, Dhimar, Manjhi, Turaha and Gaudia.

the present one collapses,” he added.

Congress MLA Anand Singh Monday announced his resignation, opposing the state government’s decision to sell 3,667 acres to JSW Steel at Ballari, his home district.He had also demanded that Vijayanagara be made a district.

“It is a tradition in democracy to follow the mandate after losing an election. It strengthens democracy,” the leader, who is also the president of the BJP Kisan Morcha, stressed. Coming to the defence of the BJP governments in the state and at the Centre, he said the Modi and Adityanath dispensations are continuously taking steps to improve law and order. To a question, Mast said the Modi government is all set to take several steps for the welfare of farmers in the coming days. He said pension to farmers and others associated with farming above 60 years of age will bring major changes.

will give an opportunity to policy makers to possibly merge the 12 per cent and 18 or cent slab into one rate, thus, effectively making the GST a two rate tax,” he said.

Observing that a sudden reduction of tax rates on all categories of goods can lead to a massive loss of revenue for the government leaving it without resources to spend, Jaitley said “this exercise had to be done in a gradual manner as the revenues increased”.

In the eight months of 2017-18 (July to March), the average revenue collected was Rs 89,700 crore per month. In the next year (2018-19), the monthly average has increased by about 10 per cent to Rs 97,100 crore “The fear of the states today is that for the first five years they get a guaranteed 14 per cent increase. The lurking doubt is as to what will happen after five years?

Every state has been paid its share of tax as also from the

N.S. Vishwanathan (File)

Mumbai, Jul 1 (IANS): N.S. Vishwanathan was on Monday re-appointed Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for a year, an official order said.

After the Department of Financial Services in the Finance Ministry had recommended the name, the Union Cabinet’s Appointments Committee approved his re-appointment for a period of one more year with effect from July 4 this year, the order issued by the Personnel Ministry said.

His existing tenure was to end on Wednesday.

Vishwanathan is one of the three Deputy Governors, besides B.P. Kanungo and M.K. Jain, at the central bank.

compensation fund, if necessary. We have just completed two years of GST. “Already after the second year, twenty states are independently showing more than a 14 per cent increase in their revenues and the compensation fund in their case is not necessary,” Jaitley said.

Stating that a single slab GST is possible only in extremely affluent countries where there are no poor people, he said it would be inequitable to apply a single rate in countries where there are a large number of people below the poverty line.

“In the pre-GST regime, the rich and the poor, on various commodities, paid the same tax. The multiple slab system not only checked inflation, it also ensured that the Aam Aadmi products are not exorbitantly taxed. Illustratively, a hawai chappal and a Mercedes car cannot be taxed at the same rate. This is not to suggest that the rationalisation of slabs is not needed. That process is already on,” he said.

GST, which subsumed 17 local taxes, was rolled out on July 1, 2017. The GST currently has four slabs -- 5, 12, 18 and 28 per cent. On top of the 28 per cent slab, a cess is levied on automobiles, luxury, demerit and sin goods.

According to the survey, consumer goods was the key source of growth, where robust increases in sales, output and employment were registered.

Modest expansions in production and new work were noted in the intermediate goods category, but jobs stagnated.

At the same time, operating conditions in the capital goods sector were broadly unchanged.

Meanwhile, growth of new export orders also showed signs of weakness.

“Also, a further decline in unfinished business points to excess capacity among goods producers, meaning that job creation may come to a halt in the near term should demand growth fail to revive,” Lima added.

On the prices front, June data continued to show only a moderate increase in input costs and enabled firms to lower

New Delhi, Jul 1 (PTI): Former Finance Minister Arun Jaitley Monday said the 12 and 18 per cent tax slabs in goods and services tax (GST) could be merged going forward as revenues increase, thereby effectively making it a two-tier tax.

Penning a Facebook post on the second anniversary of GST rollout, Jaitley said as many as 20 states are already showing more than a 14 per cent increase in their revenues and do not require the centre to compensate them for revenue loss arising out of GST implementation.

Jaitley, who in May wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressing his unwillingness to be a Minister in the Modi 2.0 government due to health reasons, said that most items of consumer use have been brought in the 18 per cent, 12 per cent and even 5 per cent category.

The GST Council, chaired by Finance Minister and comprising state Finance Ministers, has reduced tax rates over the last two years which led to revenue loss of more than Rs 90,000 crore, he said.

“Except on luxury and sin goods, the 28 per cent slab has almost been phased out. Zero and 5 per cent slabs will always remain. As revenue increases further, it

moderated in June, largely owing to softer increase in new work intakes, which in turn translated into slower rises in output and employment, a monthly survey said on July 1.

The IHS Markit India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) was at 52.1 in June, down from May’s three-month high of 52.7, indicating a slight setback in the Indian manufacturing sector.

This is the 23rd consecutive month that the manufacturing PMI has remained above the 50point mark. In PMI parlance, a print above 50 means expansion, while a score below that denotes contraction.

“Gauges of factory orders, production, employment and exports remained inside growth territory, but rates of expansion softened in all cases as domestic and international demand showed some signs of fading,” said Pollyanna de Lima, Principal Economist at IHS Markit.

North Korea calls KimTrump meeting ‘historic’

In this June 30 photo, Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump shake hands inside the Freedom House on the southern side of Panmunjom, South Korea. (PTI)

SEOUL, JUL 1 (AFP): North Korea on Monday described the weekend meeting between its leader Kim Jong Un and US President Donald Trump in the Demilitarised Zone as “historic” and “amazing”.

The two leaders agreed to “resume and push forward productive dialogues for making a new breakthrough in the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula”, the official Korean Central News Agency said.

After a Twitter invitation by the US president on Saturday, the two men met a day later in the strip of land that has divided the peninsula for 66 years since the end of the Korean War, when their countries and their allies fought each other to a standstill. Kim and Trump shook hands over

the concrete blocks dividing North and South before Trump walked a few paces into Pyongyang’s territory -- the first US president ever to set foot on North Korean soil. “The top leaders of the DPRK and the US exchanging historic handshakes at Panmunjom” was an “amazing event”, KCNA said, describing the truce village as a “place that had been known as the symbol of division”. The meeting took place “at the suggestion of Trump”, it added.

The impromptu meeting in the DMZ was full of symbolism. Trump’s bordercrossing -- which he said was uncertain until the last moment -- was an extraordinary sequel to the scene at Kim’s first summit with Moon Jaein last year, when the young leader invited the South

Korean president to walk over the Military Demarcation Line, as the border is officially known. “It was an honour that you asked me to step over that line, and I was proud to step over the line,” Trump told Kim. KCNA described it as a “historic moment”, marking the “first time in history” a sitting US President set foot on North Korean soil.

Analysts have been divided on Sunday’s events, some saying they spurred new momentum into deadlocked nuclear talks, while others described them as “reality show theatrics”.

The first Trump-Kim summit took place in a blaze of publicity in Singapore last year but produced only a vaguely worded pledge about denuclearisation.

A second meeting in Vietnam in February collapsed after the pair failed to reach an agreement over sanctions relief and what the North was willing to give in return. Contact between the two sides has since been minimal -- with Pyongyang issuing frequent criticisms of the US position -- but the two leaders exchanged a series of letters before Trump issued his offer to meet at the DMZ. Trump said after Sunday’s meeting that they had agreed working-level talks on the North’s weapons programme would take place within weeks.

Iran says it has breached 2015 nuclear deal’s stockpile limit DUBAI/VIENNA, JUL 1 (AHENCIES): Iran has breached the limit of its enriched uranium stockpile set in a 2015 deal with major powers, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Monday, according to the ISNA news agency, defying a warning by European co-signatories to stick to the deal despite U.S. sanctions. Zarif confirmed that Iran had exceeded the relevant limit of 300 kg of uranium hexafluoride (UF6), but Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi said Iran’s steps to decrease its commitments to the nuclear deal were “reversible”.

The International Atomic Energy agency (IAEA) said that its inspectors were verifying whether Iran had accumulated more enriched uranium than allowed.

“Our inspectors are on the ground and they will report to headquarters as soon as the LEU (low-enriched uranium) stockpile has been verified, a spokesman for the U.N. agency said.

Enriching uranium to a low level of 3.6% fissile material is the first step in a process that could eventually allow Iran to amass enough highly-enriched uranium to build a nuclear warhead.

Last Wednesday, the IAEA verified that Iran had roughly 200 kg of low-enriched uranium, just below the deal’s 202.8 kg limit, three diplomats who follow the agency’s work told Reu-

Mohammad Javad Zarif

ters. A quantity of 300 kg of UF6 (uranium hexafluoride) corresponds to 202.8 kg of LEU. After talks on Friday in Vienna, Iran said European countries had offered too little in the way of trade assistance to persuade it to back off from its plan to breach the limit, a riposte to U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision last year to quit the deal and reimpose economic sanctions.

Mousavi urged them on Monday to step up their efforts. “Time is running out for them to save the deal,” state TV quoted him as saying. The deal between Iran and six world powers lifted most international sanctions against Iran in return for restrictions on its nuclear work aimed at extending the time Iran would need to produce a nuclear bomb, if it chose to, from roughly 2-3 months to a year.

Iran says its nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes, including generating power.

Smokes rises after an explosion in Kabul, Afghanistan, Monday. (PTI)

KABUL, JUL 1 (AGENCIES): Afghan security forces on Monday were battling Taliban gunmen who stormed a building in the capital, Kabul, after a bomb-laden truck exploded near the defence ministry at rush hour, injuring at least 100 people, including 51 children, officials said.

Sporadic gunfire and explosions could be heard in the area where at least three gunman had entered a building near the defence ministry, a security official said. Special Forces cordoned off the area and had rescued 210 people so far, the Interior Ministry said.

“Gunmen have entered a building and they are clashing with the Afghan forces after the powerful blast,” said interior ministry spokesman Nasrat Rahimi.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.

“The target was the defence ministry’s technical installation,” the Islamist militants’

spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, said in a statement.

Afghan security officials said the truck loaded with explosives was detonated near the ministry’s engineering and logistics department. About 100 wounded people were taken to hospital, said health ministry spokesman Wahidullah Mayar, but there was no immediate word of fatalities.

Fifty-one children in two schools near the blast site were hurt by flying shards of glass, said Nooria Nazhat, a spokeswoman of the education ministry.

“These children were in the classrooms when the blast shattered the glass windows. All injured children were rushed out of their schools,” said Nazhat.

A security guard at Shamshad TV, a Pashtolanguage media organisation, was killed and several employees injured in their office near the blast site, said director Abid Ehsas.

Pak’s ex-prez Zardari arrested ISLAMABAD, JUL 1 (PTI): Pakistan’s anti-corruption body on Monday arrested jailed former president Asif Ali Zardari in another corruption case.

He is already in the custody of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) till July 2 in a multi-million dollar money laundering case along with his sister Faryal Talpur. According to the NAB, the duo made transactions of Rs 150 million through alleged fake bank accounts. He was arrested in the Park Lane case which is related to the alleged properties in London.

Hong Kong marks handover to China as protests escalate again HONG KONG, JUL 1 (AP): The embattled leader of Hong Kong pledged to be more responsive to public sentiment, as protesters demanding she step down clashed with police outside a flag-raising ceremony Monday marking the 22nd anniversary of the former British colony’s return to China.

Police used riot shields and pepper spray to push back hundreds of helmeted protesters who tried to advance down closed streets toward the harborfront venue, where the Chinese and Hong Kong flags were raised together and two helicopters and a small flotilla passed by.

Later, a disruption involving combative protesters outside the Hong Kong legislature as thousands of marchers were preparing to head in that direction.

Police asked the marchers to change their route or cancel the march. Hong Kong media say glass was broken at the legislative building and a standoff followed. At the flag-raising ceremony, city leader Carrie Lam said a series of protests and marches that have attracted hundreds of thousands of students and other participants in recent weeks have taught her that she needs to listen better to the youth and people in general. Lam has come under withering criticism for trying

to push through legislation that would have allowed suspects to be extradited to the mainland to face trial.

“This has made me fully realize that I, as a politician, have to remind myself all the time of the need to grasp public sentiments accurately,” she said in a five-minute speech to the gathering in the city’s cavernous convention center. She insisted her government has good intentions, but said “I will learn the lesson and ensure that the government’s future work will be closer and more responsive to the aspirations, sentiments and opinions of the community.”

Security guards pushed pro-democracy lawmaker Helena Wong out of the room as she walked backward shouting at Lam to re-

sign and withdraw the “evil” legislation. She later told reporters she was voicing the grievances and opinions of the protesters, who could not get into the event.

The annual march starting in the afternoon was expected to be larger than usual because the proposed extradition bill has awakened broader fears that China is eroding the freedoms and rights guaranteed to Hong Kong for 50 years under a “one country, two systems” framework.

Two marches in June against the legislation drew more than a million people, according to organizer estimates. The government has suspended debate on the bill indefinitely, but protest leaders want it formally withdrawn and Lam’s resignation.

president confirms talks to Gascoigne challenges Dogg to boxing NASA’s dragonfly mission to UFC promote Bieber, Cruise match match over ‘alcohol abuse’ meme explore Saturn’s largest moon P

U N

ASA has announced a plan to explore the surface of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan.

The space agency made the announcement in a media teleconference June 27 afternoon, detailing its vision of a robotic rotorcraft dubbed Dragonfly that will collect samples and measure soil composition in search for signs of habitability.

The enormous, icy moon is said to be the most Earth-like world in the solar system, and previous findings by the Cassini mission suggest it holds some of the ingredients necessary for the emergence of life.

Dragonfly will launch in 2026 as part of NASA’s New Frontiers program, and is expected to arrive at Titan in 2034.

‘Dragonfly is a bold, game-changing way to explore the solar system,’ said APL Director Ralph Semmel.

‘This mission is a visionary combination of

creativity and technical risk-taking that will help us unravel some of the most critical mysteries of the universe — including, possibly, the keys to our origins.’

Initially, Dragonfly will carry out a 2.7-year mission to explore different sites across Titan, including dunes and impact craters.

Observations from the Cassini mission indicate these areas once held liquid water and complex organic materials.

The dual quadcopter will sample these organic surface materials and measure their composition in effort to characterize the large moon’s habitability.

Dragonfly will first touchdown in an equatorial area known as the ‘Shangri-La’ dune fields, which have been compared to the Namibian dunes in southern Africa.

It will then complete ‘leapfrog’ flights of around 5 miles (8km) each to hop to other areas, stopping to take samples from each site.

‘Star Wars’ actor Riz Ahmed says he was racially profiled

Eventually, Dragonfly will make its way to the Selk impact crater, where scientists have spotted evidence of last liquid water, organic (carboncontaining) molecules, and energy.

These, together, are said to be the building blocks for life.

‘We don’t know the steps that were taken on Earth to get from chemistry to biology, but we do know that a lot of that prebiotic chemistry is actually happening on Titan today.

Titan is the largest of Saturn’s 62 known moons and sits 886 million miles (1.4 billion kilometers) from the sun.

This distance means temperatures at the surface are frigid – according to NASA, Titan’s surface temperature is around minus 290 degrees Fahrenheit (-179 Celsius).

Surface pressure is much higher than we’re used to as well, at about 50 percent higher than Earth’s.

FC President Dana White confirmed Thursday that he had engaged in talks last week “with two big guys” about a potential fight between Justin Bieber and Tom Cruise after the pop star challenged the actor to a match.

White made the comments as a guest speaker at Hashtag Sports 2019, according to USA Today.

Asked to confirm a June 20 report by TMZ in which he said he’d been approached about making the fight happen, White said: “It is true.”

“As crazy as that sounds, that is true … I don’t want to use any names, but I was at home on a Sunday, and I got a call with two big guys on the phone,” White said. “They were telling me this could possibly happen and this could be real. I’m like, there’s no way this is really going to happen. But if it does, call me back.

I’m in.”

If he could make happen, White said, “I’d be all over that fight. It’d be the biggest pay-per-view in the history of pay-per-view.”

aul Gascoigne has suggested he and Snoop Dogg compete in a boxing match following Snoop’s posting of a meme that suggested the football legend is the reason not to abuse alcohol.

Snoop took to his Instagram page on Thursday (June 27) to share a picture of the ex-England midfielder at the age of 20 alongside an unflattering newer picture of the former footballer.

In the same picture, the rapper posted a picture of himself at 20 and a picture of himself now, looking like he has hardly aged, with the word “marijuana abuse” above. The picture resulted in an angry response from Twitter users who branded the rapper “cold”. Gascoigne later responded, calling Snoop an “ugly twat”.

Today (July 1), Gascoigne appeared on ITV’s Good Morning Britain to explain and address the situation further.

“R

ogue One: A Star Wars Story” actor Riz Ahmed claimed he was racially profiled on a flight in April, causing him to miss a Star Wars Celebration convention in Chicago. Ahmed, 36, made his comments Tuesday at the CAA Amplify conference, Variety reported.

The “Venom” star described being swabbed for explosives and questioned at an unnamed airport in the United States, claiming it wasn’t a rare occurrence and that he’s frequently stopped and searched when he flies. The Department of Homeland Security wouldn’t comment on any alleged incidents without being given a specific date.

“With all my privilege and profile, I often wonder if this is going to be the year they round us up, if this is the year they’re going to put Trump’s Muslim registry into action, if this is going to be the year they ship us all off,” he reportedly told the crowd. He pointed out that the success of other high-profile Muslim stars hasn’t necessarily helped the plight of other Muslims in the United States.

Olympics, not even in the Commonwealth Games, but the sport is thriving on its own. Even squash, for that matter, that is also doing well on its own,” Narang told PTI during an interaction.

Last month, the CGF made it clear that shooting will not be a part of the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, dealing a blow to India’s hopes.

However, Narang preferred not to lose heart.

“Now that it is out let’s be positive and give our best in Tokyo 2020 Olympics,” he said.

Indian shooters have bagged as many as 16 medals, including seven gold at the Gold Coast Games last year. Since the 2002 Manchester edition, India have won most of its medals in shooting.

As a result of the CGF move, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) threatened to boycott the 2022 Games, even as the sports ministry promised to explore diplomatic channels.

To start with, the middleorder needs to get cracking in crunch games. The over reliance on the top-order has haunted the team a couple of times in the past and it was evident again on Sunday.

Yes, it is good to say that it was a one-off, but all it takes is one bad day in the knockout stages to be packing the bag and heading home. While India’s

entry to the semis is all but certain - need a point - the number four slot still needs some attention. Rishabh Pant did walk in at the fall of Kohli’s wicket against England and scored 32 runs, but some of the shots he played were atrocious to say the least. The talented man definitely needs some talking to be done with him.

In the bowling department too, the otherwise perfect seamers of India failed to pick a wicket early and the end result was that Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav failed to rise to the challenge.

Even though Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah bowled beautifully at the top, the English openers showed that you can play off those two and then make hay.

It was a much-needed wake-up call before teams move into the knockouts and the Indians will do well to sit down in the meeting room on Monday and plan ahead for big battles that await come the semis.

Italian club Napoli, latched onto a Mikel Oyarzabal cross to beat a stunned Alexander Nubel in the Germany goal for his second goal of the tournament.

Spain doubled their advantage after Nubel failed to close down a Ruiz goalbound effort, clearing into the path of Olmo, who tipped in his third goal of the tournament.

Waldschmidt had a chance on 83 minutes but sent it just wide, before Amiri gave the Germans hope. Despite a nervy finale Luis de la Fuente’s side held on to finish off a tournament which they had begun in inauspicious fashion by losing 3-1 to hosts Italy.

“Paradoxically the game against Italy gave us strength and confidence to carry on, it drew the team even closer together,” said de la Fuente.

“This is an important victory for us,” he added.

Tigers are raring to go and they will undoubtedly be banking on their biggest star in this edition - Shakib - to once again lead from the front with both bat and ball. And when it comes to clashes against Virat Kohli’s boys, one man who seems to be high on energy is former skipper and wicket-keeper Mushfiqur Rahim. He has a past with the Indian team and while

match very well, Spain played very, very tough, and obviously in a final players are always a bit nervous.

After the first goal we tried to pick up our game. When we conceded the second goal it was psychologically hard, but we showed them after that we could be dangerous.”

The Spanish controlled the match with top tournament scorer Luca Waldschmidt of Bundesliga club Freiburg pegged back and unable to add to his tally of seven goals to achieve a new record. Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos, already a veteran of the 2017 finals, helped power the Spaniards ahead early on in front of a 23,000 crowd.

The Germans, watched from the stands by senior head coach Joachim Loew and former international Oliver Bierhoff, struggled for the first half hour.

Udine, Jul 1 (Agencies): Spain dominated holders Germany 2-1 to win the European under21 championship title for a record-equalling fifth time in Udine on Sunday as Fabian Ruiz and Dani Olmo scored in either half.

Ruiz rifled in the first after just seven minutes at the Stadio Friuli in northeastern Italy, with Olmo adding the second on 69 minutes to avenge their 1-0 defeat to Germany in the final two years ago.

Nadiem Amiri pulled a goal back two minutes from time, but it failed to ignite a revival for the defending champions.

Spain reclaim the title they last won in 2013 and join Italy as the only nation to have won the tournament five times. “Obviously we’re not happy we didn’t win but Spain were better,” said Germany coach Stefan Kuntz.

Spain players celebrate with the trophy after defeating Germany to lift the European Under-21 Championship.

Birmingham, Jul 1 (IANS): India have been the in-form team in this edition of the World Cup in England and Wales, Bangladesh on the other hand have been a team which has punched above its weight and shown that they have finally realised the need to be consistent at the top level. Despite a loss to England on Sunday, India go into the game on Tuesday at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground as favourites.

But a look at the history between the two teams will tell you that the Tigers have often roared fiercely when competing against the Men in Blue and this time round, they have momentum on their side. An in-form Shakib Al Hasan, some quality performers in Mahmudullah Riyad and Tamim Iqbal and a skipper in Mashrafe Mortaza who believes in leading from the front. Not to forget the talented Mustafizur Rahman.

SL beat West Indies by 23 runs

Chester-le-Street, Jul 1 (Agencies): Nicholas Pooran’s 118 went in vain as Sri Lanka defeated West Indies by 23 runs in a thriller at Riverside Ground on Sunday.

N i c h o l a s Po o r a n proved to be the biggest hurdle to Sri Lanka’s victory as he brought down the run-chase in sight with his century but Sri Lanka found their unlikely hero in Angelo Mathews to produce a moment of magic and dimiss a dangerous looking Nicholas Pooran for 118.

For most part of the game, a win for West Indies looked in sight as Nicholas Pooran and Fabian Allen kept the run-chase alive with

their 83-stand but another mix-up at the middle forced Allen to leave the ground for 51. Lasith Malinga got Sri Lanka their first breakthrough by removing West Indies opener Sunil Ambris (5). Malinga struck again to get rid of Shai Hope (5) to leave West Indies reeling at 22.2 in 4.6 overs.

West Indies had their hopes rested on their bighitter Chris Gayle after losing two quick wickets. Gayle was dropped in the 7th over of the second innings while Kusal Mendis dropped a sitter to give a lifeline to Shirmon Hetmyer.

However, the two batsmen could not capitalize on their gifted chances. Kasun

Rajitha picked Chirs Gayle for 35 whereas, Hetmyer scored 37 balls before getting run out by a direct hit from Dhananjaya de Silva.

Skipper Jason Holder had to depart when he mistimed his lofted shot to hand the balls to Jeevan Mendis at the mid-on while Carlos Braithwate was run out for 8.

Earlier, Avishka Fernando’s maiden hundred in a solid batting display powered Sri Lanka to an imposing 338. Sri Lanka’s top order fired in unison with Fernando hitting a 103ball 104.

Opener Kusal Perera sent the ball eight times across the fence on the way

Praneeth eyes good show at Canada Open

B Sai Praneeth

Calgary, Jul 1 (PTI): Indian shuttlers, including B Sai Praneeth and HS Prannoy, will look to put their best foot forward when they start their campaign at the Canada Open BWF Tour Super 100, beginning with the qualifiers, here Tuesday.

While top stars such as P V Sindhu, Saina Nehwal and Kidambi Srikanth will not be in action, the USD 75,000 tournament will see a number of Indian male shuttlers vying for honours

and hoping to get back their rhythm as the second half of the season unfolds.

Praneeth, a 2017 Singapore Open champion, will look to lay his hands on a crown after coming close at the Swiss Open Super 300 event in March this year. He had lost in the finals to Shi Yuqi of China in the summit clash.

The second seeded Indian, who last played at Australian Open almost a month back, has got a bye in the first round and will face

the winner of USA’s Nicholas Robert Henson Waller and China’s Sun Fei Xiang to begin his campaign.

Prannoy too lost a lot of time this year battling gastroesophageal reflux disease which affected his performance. And as a result, his ranking has dwindled to world no 26.

The 25-year-old Indian, a former top 10 player, also got a bye in the first round and will look to turn things around with a good show here.

Fo r m e r C o m m o n weath Games champion Par upalli Kashyap too looked in good touch this season, especially at the India Open, where he reached the semifinal. The sixth seed would hope to continue with the good touch.

Among others, national champion Sourabh Verma will square off against Turkey’s Emre Lale, while former world no 13 Ajay Jayaram meets a qualifier.

Young Lakshya Sen, in his first year on the senior circuit, will take on New Zealand’s Abhinav Manota in the opening round.

to a 51-ball 64.

Fernando played the role of sheet anchor, stitching 85 runs with Kushal Mendis and then sharing 58 and 67 with Angelo Mathews (26) and Lahiru Thirimanne (45 off 33), respectively.

Sri Lanka played with freedom as openers Karunaratne and Kusal Perera amassed 91 runs for no loss in 15 overs.

After skipper Jason Holder removed Dimuth Karunaratne (32), Kushal Perera too was back after getting run out.

Kushal Mendis and Fernando then took Sri Lanka close to 200 before a remarkable caught-andbowl effort by left-arm spinner Fabian Allen ending the former’s stay.

Mathews came up with an enterprising 20-ball 26 before a perfect yorker by Holder sent him back in the 40th over. Fernando and Thirimanne then joined hands to help Sri Lanka cross the 300-mark.

Fernando completed his hundred in the 48th over but soon holed out to Allen off Cottrell’s bowling.

Brief scores Sri Lanka: 338/6 (Avishka Fernando 104, Kusal Perera 64; Holder 2/59) West Indies: 315/9 (Nicholas Pooran 118, Fabian Allen 51; Lasith Malinga 3/55)

Higuain returns to Juventus after loan spell Milan, Jul 1 (Agencies): Gonzalo Higuain has returned to Juventus following the conclusion of his loan spell at Chelsea, the club have confirmed.

The former Argentina international had a relatively unsuccessful loan spell at Stamford Bridge during the second half of last season, scoring only five goals in 18 appearances across all competitions.

Despite facing a transfer ban, Chelsea opted against triggering their option to make Higuain’s switch permanent.

The 31-year-old will return to Juventus and link up with new boss Maurizio Sarri, the manager who both brought him to the Premier League at Chelsea and oversaw the striker’s best period of goal scoring form while at Napoli.

Higuain’s agent said the former Real Madrid forward wanted to see out the rest of his career in Turin.

Liverpool likely to sign Coutinho Liverpool, Jul 1 (IANS): Premier League outfit Liverpool has opened its doors for the return of attacking Brazilian midfielder Philippe Coutinho.

Coutinho had joined Barcelona from Liverpool in January 2018 for a fee of 142 million pound.

H i s ‘ d r e a m ’ m ove started out positively but Coutinho’s time in Spain has been nothing short of miserable and so the midfielder is likely to move back this summer. Several clubs, including Manchester United, have reportedly tried to get the services of the Brazilian in recent months.

Meanwhile, reports also suggests that Liverpool is considering giving the Brazilian a second chance.

Liverpool chairman Tom Werner had recently said that he thinks that Coutinho regrets his decision to leave. “I would just point to the story of Philippe Coutinho. I have only good things to say about Philippe.

But I think he left Liverpool because he wanted to play for one of the two big Spanish clubs,” Werner had told the Liverpool Echo.

“We tried to convince him that we had the club moving in the right direction and that he could experience big Champions League occasions by staying at Liverpool. I think he probably regrets his decision,” he added.

Birmingham, Jul 1 (PTI): Indian all-rounder Vijay Shankar was Monday ruled out of the ongoing World Cup due to a toe injury and is likely to be replaced by Mayank Agarwal, who is yet to make his ODI debut.

Shankar is the second Indian player to be ruled out of the tournament after senior opener Shikhar Dhawan exited due to a thumb fracture, sustained in the game against Australia.

Rishabh Pant had replaced him.

“Vijay Shankar sustained a non displaced fracture of the left big toe, which will require a minimum of three weeks to heal. The injury rules him out of the ongoing World Cup. The Indian team management has requested the ICC to consider Mayank Agarwal as his replacement,” the BCCI media cell stated.

Kar nataka opener Agarwal, who made his Test debut against Australia last year, is yet to play an ODI. It has been learnt that his performance in England during the last A series un-

M e a n w h i l e, S t a n Wawrinka was barely mentioned in the Wimbledon build-up with all the focus on the men’s “big three” and the young guns hoping to shake things up but the Swiss means business.

Outside of eight-time champion Roger Federer, twice winner Rafael Nadal

and defending champion Novak Djokovic, Wawrinka is the only other multiple Grand Slam champion in the draw.

The 34-year-old needs a Wimbledon title to complete his career Grand Slam and while, for whatever reason, he has never thrived on the All England Club lawns, he looked razor sharp as he began his 15th successive appearance.

On a sunny Court Two against Belgian qualifier Ruben Bemelmans he belted 26 winners in a 6-3 6-2 6-2 victory that took less than an hour and a half.

Admittedly left-hander Bemelmans, ranked 171, was having a decidedly ordinary day with his forehand misfiring completely but it was a powerful statement by Wawrinka nonetheless.

In the first half, Gover nment High School, Sechü Zubza scored through Keneikolie Rino (17th) and two goals from Rüngulie Zhünyü in 20th minute and 32nd minute.

The goals for Don Bosco Higher Secondary School were scored by Ruokuovilhou (34th), Khriesizo Yase (52nd) and Machunthai Kamei (58th). Despite playing extra time of 15 minutes, both teams failed to break the deadlock and the match was decided by tie-breaker wherein Don Bosco HSS emerged victorious.

Wimbledon Open: Djokovic starts title defence with win Lo n d o n, J u l 1 (Agencies): Novak Djokovic began the defence of his Wimbledon title with an assured 6-3 7-5 6-3 victory over Philipp Kohlschreiber.

Djokovic, who is seeking a fourth Grand Slam victory in the past five tournaments, is the top seed and took just over two hours to dismiss his opponent. The world No 1 and four-time Wimbledon champion was broken in the first game of the match on Centre Court before he re-grouped well.

He pressed out into a 4-1 advantage and stayed focused to secure the first set of his title defence.

Kohlschreiber pushed hard in second but Djokovic gained the required break in the 11th game and took the set 7-5 after a hold to love.

In the last, the defending champion continued to force errors off his opponent’s racket and the straight sets victory will have no doubt will have pleased the newest mem-

Third seed Karolina Pliskova made it through to the second round at Wimbledon, beating China’s Zhu Lin 6-2, 7-6 (7/4) on Monday.

Czech former world number one Pliskova, fresh from winning the Eastbourne grass-court tournament, beat the world number 101 on the 4,000-seater Court Two. She will face either Olympic champion Monica Puig of Puerto Rico or Slovakia’s Anna Karolina Schmeidlova on Wednesday for a place in the last 32.

Meanwhile, Elina Svitolina, Madison Keys and Sofia Kenin also made relatively light work of their opponents to reach the second round as Heather Watson kicked off the British campaign with a win.

Eighth seed Svitolina initially found Daria Gavrilova tough to break down, but then the Australian unravelled and the Ukraine raced to a 7-5, 6-0 victory.

Former US Open finalist Madison Keys was the first player to reach the second round on day one at the All England Club as the 17th seeded American brushed aside Luksika Kumkhum 6-3, 6-2.

The 27th seed Sofia Kenin was too good for Astra Shami as she beat the Australian 6-4, 6-2 while Dayana Yastremska beat 2018 quarter-finalist Camila Giorgi 6-3, 6-3.

Meanwhile, wildcard Watson gave the British campaign off to a good start as she celebrated her 10th consecutive Wimbledon appearance with a 7-6 (7-3), 6-2 win over debutant Caty McNally from the United States.

It was double celebration for the 27-year-old Watson as it was her first WTA Tour level win since July last year.

give KL Rahul a chance to get back to the No.4 position in case Rishabh Pant fails in the next two games,” the source added.

Rohit Sharma had talked about Shankar’s injury on Sunday but it was presumed to be an old hit that he took at Southampton. It now seems that Shankar’s toe injury has aggravated after playing against Afghanistan and West Indies.

“There is no uncertainty with regard to the number four position. Vijay Shankar was supposed to play but before the game he got hit on the toe by Jasprit (Bumrah) and he wasn’t fit.

Every team will have these one or two changes happening every now and then,” he said after India lost to England.

Shankar scored 29 against Afghanistan and 16 against West Indies before getting out. He also got a couple of important wickets against Pakistan.

It is expected that Agarwal’s name will be approved by the ICC’s tournament technical committee.
