Rahul formally quits as Cong chief Party in deep crisis as CONG working committee gropes for answers
NEW DELHI, JUL 3 (PTI): In more trouble for the crisis-hit Congress, Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday publicly announced his resignation as its president, taking responsibility for the Lok Sabha polls debacle, and called for “hard decisions” to rebuild the party and making people accountable for the “failure” of 2019. In a four-page open letter, Gandhi also urged the Congress Working Committee (CWC) to entrust a group of people with the task of finding a new president as it would not be proper for him to do so. The 49-year-old leader --who has been adamant on his decision to quit as party president since May 25 -also stressed on the need for the Congress to “radically transform itself ”. In a letter that was emotive in places and combative in others, Gandhi said he owed the country and his party a debt of tremendous gratitude and love, but maintained that at times he stood “completely alone” in his fight against the Prime Minister and RSS.
No proposal to scrap sedition law, says MoS Home NEW DELHI, JUL 3 (AGENCIES): Rejecting demands from several opposition parties, including Congress, the Centre on Wednesday said that there is no plan as of now to scrap the Colonial-era sedition law under which inciting hatred against the government is a punishable offence. Speaking in the Rajya Sabha, Minister of State (MoS) Home Nityanand Rai said, ‘’ There is no proposal to scrap the provision under the IPC dealing with the offence of sedition.’’ Rai made these remarks while responding to a question raised by Telangana MP Banda Prakash. The sedition law states that whoever, by words, either spoken or written, or by signs, or by visible representation, or otherwise, brings or attempts to bring into hatred or contempt, or excites or attempts to excite disaffection towards the government shall be jailed without or with fine. Former Home minister Rajnath Singh, who is now handling the Defence portfolio, had at several occasions in past called for the need to make the sedition law stronger to deal with “anti-national` elements.

Rahul Gandhi
“As President of the Congress Party, I am responsible for the loss of the 2019 election. Accountability is critical for the future growth of our party. It is for this reason that I have resigned as Congress President,” he said. “Rebuilding the party requires hard decisions and numerous people will have to be made accountable for the failure of 2019. It would be unjust to hold others accountable but ignore my own responsibility as President of the party,” he said in the letter posted on the Twitter. In his Twitter account,
Gandhi’s designation as “President” of Congress was also changed to “Member of Congress and Member of Parliament”. Today’s public announcement by Gandhi, putting an end to ‘will he or will he not’, is seen by many political commentators as yet another blow to the crisis-ridden Congress, which is caught in a phase of uncertainty over the issue of leadership. Rahul succeeded his mother Sonia Gandhi as Congress President in December 2017 and his major success at the helm of the 133 year old party was winning the three state elections in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh in December last year. Congress sources said Gandhi continues to be party president till his resignation is accepted by the CWC and a new chief is appointed after due process. They also said a meeting of the CWC will be convened soon which will decide on future course of action. The names of veteran party leaders Sushil Ku-
mar Shinde, Mallikarjun Kharge and Ashok Gehlot are among the probables doing rounds for the position. However, there is no official confirmation about it. Heralding what could be a new era in his party, Gandhi said it had been a honour to serve the Congress, whose values and ideals have served as the lifeblood of “this beautiful nation”. “I fought because I love India... At times I stood completely alone and am extremely proud of it,” he said. “The stated objectives of the RSS, the capture of our country’s institutional structure, is now complete. Our democracy has been fundamentally weakened. There is a real danger that from now on, elections will go from being a determinant of India’s future to a mere ritual,” he said. Gandhi said this capture of power will result in “unimaginable levels of violence and pain for India”, while alleging that the PM’s win does not negate the “breadth of corruption allegations against him”.
Decision on new chief will be collective: Venu Soon after Rahul Gandhi announced that he was no longer the Congress chief, party General Secretary, Organisation, KC Venugopal said that the decision to appoint a new party President will be a “collective” one. Venugopal, who was in Kerala, told over phone: “Yes, I am aware that Rahul Gandhi has resigned... a decision on electing a new party chief will be a collective one.” Asked when a meeting of the Congress Working Committee - the party’s highest decision-making body, will be called to decide on the new chief, he refused to answer. Sources in the party said a resolution is not in sight for at least a week. Party leaders told The Indian Express that Rahul and Sonia will travel abroad later this week to visit Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s husband Robert Vadra, who is said to have either undergone or is slated to undergo a surgery at an undisclosed location.
JCPI calls for meeting on July 5 to decide on ‘indigenous Naga’ DIMAPUR, JUL 3 (NPN): Once again reminding all tribe hohos and civil society organizations (CSOs) about the proposed meeting on Register of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland (RIIN) at Saramati hotel here on July 5 at 11 a.m., Joint Committee on Prevention of Illegal Immigration (JCPI) said the meeting was very crucial and urged all presidents and general secretaries of such organisations to attend it without fail. In a joint statement, JCPI convener K Ghokheto Chophy and secretary Tia Longchar, stressed that the issue who was an indigenous Naga would be deliberated at the meeting, given the widespread adoption and mixed marriages prevalent in Naga society, and especially against the backdrop of infiltration of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants into the State. Explaining that unless Nagas defined who was an indigenous person and who was not, implementation of ILP in the State, including Dimapur, would be a useless exercise. The deliberation would have to take place without delay as the State
government had already notified the RIIN exercise, it stressed. JCPI said due to pressure exerted by it and the sagacity of chief secretary Temjen Toy led to formation of Abhishek Committee on ILP. The duo said it was only expected that the entities cooperate and listen to each other, particularly when the sensitive RIIN exercise was to take place. JCPI said while teachers would be roped in to enumerate the indigenous inhabitants, it reminded the State government not to repeat the e-roll farce during the RIIN enumeration. It also pointed out that the Election Commission had admitted that out of 11 lakh entries in the e-roll, four lakh entries were bogus. Thus, said JCPI that Naga civil society cannot allow the teachers – as they were susceptible to pressure from politicians, clan, regional, tribal politics- to have the final say as far as indigenous enumeration is concerned. It called for some sort of vetting in the enumeration process by a third party and that till this loophole was addressed in the July
5 meeting and its findings/ solution forwarded to the government, the government need to wait for the meeting’s outcome. Meanwhile, JCPI appreciated the State government, particularly state BJP led by deputy Y Patton and BJP president Imna Along, for vociferously opposing the “mischievous” PIL filed against extension of ILP to Dimapur in Supreme Court (SC) by one Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay. The committee particularly hailed the threejudge SC bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi for dismissing the PIL filed by the “so-called BJP leader”. It also thanked advocate general KN Balgopal for ensuring the defeat of the “malicious” PIL. In the consultative meeting held with all nonNaga communities on June 28, JCPI said the general consensus was that the PIL filed by a non-citizen of Nagaland and without knowing the ground reality should be condemned by all. The committee also thanked Gorkha Elders’ Forum for being the first non-Naga organisation to demand that Upadhyay should withdraw the PIL.
Japanese Encephalitis: Over Panel on sexual State JD(U) suggests law on adoption Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram down globally 40 deaths reported in Assam harassment at G U WA H AT I , J U L 3 (AGENCIES): Over 40 deaths caused by Japanese Encephalitis (JE) have been reported in Assam so far, with new cases being detected idaily. In this year itself, about 135 persons have been infected by Encephalitis and among them 48 have lost their lives till date, APN report stated. Dr. Umesh Phangso, State Programme Officer of National VectorBorne Disease Control Programme, told TNIE that “140 positive cases of JE have been reported. During the same period, 53 people died and 554 positive cases of AES have been reported.” The deaths were reported from Jorhat, Dibrugarh, Karimganj, Kamrup (Metro), Kamrup (Rural), Barpeta, Nagaon, Darrang and Sonitpur districts. Dr. Phangso said all measures had been taken to contain the out-
break. The measures include fogging and spreading of insecticides. JE has claimed hundreds of lives in Assam over the past few years. According to official figures, 134 people had died of the disease in 2013, 165 in 2014, 135 in 2015, 92 in 2016, 87 in 2017 and 94 last year. A team of senior officers of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, headed by Sanjeeva Kumar, additional secretary of the Ministry visited the State and reviewed the situation. For rehabilitation of JE disabled patients, Centre has provided funds for strengthening of two Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation departments at Assam Medical College, Dibrugarh and Guwahati Medical College have been provided.

DIMAPUR, JUL 3 (NPN): State government has directed all the departments to constitute Internal Committee (IC) under Section 4 of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013. The Internal Committee (IC) has been made obligatory to be constituted in every workplace/directorate/NGOs/Autonomous body/organisation to provide protection and redress complaints of sexual harassment cases against women in the State in the manner prescribed therein. All the departments under the state have been requested to take action accordingly and intimate department of women resources development at the earliest for onward submission to the Ministry of Women & Child Development.
DIMAPUR, JUL 3 (NPN): Emphasising the need to earnestly address the issue of adoption in the state, the Janata Dal United (JDU) Nagaland unit Wednesday strongly suggested for an elaborate law on adoption. JD (U) Nagaland through its media and publicity cell welcomed the decision of PDA to bring Dimapur under the purview of BEFR 1873 and to introduce the system of preparation for Register of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland (RIIN). It has, however, expressed concern that unless certain crucial issues were addressed as a prelude to implementing the above pressing requirements, the very purpose of PDA government would be defeated. Pointing out that Article 371 (A) guaranteed rights of Naga customary and procedures, the JD(U) unit said adoption of non-Nagas by Nagas as per customary law, therefore, becomes significant. It stated that the question whether those adopted nonNagas, as per the special guarantees of the Indian constitution, would be given indigenous rights was a subject matter of serious concern. “It can open a flood gate for conversion by default given the fact that Nagas are
vulnerable,” JD(U) unit stated. Recalling the NSF stand “Nagas by Blood not by Adoption”, the party said that it was only a principle of a student pressure group, which had been the core for decades but outside the purview of an established law. JD(U) has, therefore, strongly suggested for an elaborate law on adoption through legislation of the state assembly urgently addressing all requirements and also taking all stake holders into confidence. With regard to December 1, 1963 as the basis for the entitlement to be given recognition as an indigenous inhabitant of Nagaland, JD(U) unit stated that there should a thorough sensitisation of the Naga populace, especially, the village councils through workshops and seminars by involving civil societies, student bodies and tribal organisations as preliminary exercise before the main policy of RIIN was launched. Meanwhile, the party has welcomed the dismissal of the PIL on ILP by the Supreme Court. The party condemned those responsible behind the petition, which it said was against the Nagas.
NEW DELHI, JUL 3 (IANS): Millions of users worldwide, including in India, were left clueless on Wednesday evening when Facebook and its family of apps including WhatsApp and photo-sharing platform Instagram entered a global outage. People took to Twitter to share their experiences. “Everyone moves to twitter when instagram, facebook, and whatsapp get down, including me!” tweeted one Indian user. “Social media breakdown is the only thing that unites the world,” said another user. Users faced specific problems rather than the entire app not working. On Facebook, users reported that specific posts or photos did not appear, but that the page was loading. Millions of users had problems sending photos, videos and voice messages on WhatApp in India. Only text messages were being shared on mobile messaging service. At Instagram, people failed to upload photos in various parts of the world. Online outage tracker Down Detector logged several complaints from across the world including in India. Facebook said in a statement that confirmed there is a problem with its apps, and it’s “working as quickly as possible” to fix it.
Will 5th Gen cell network put your health at risk? GPRN/NSCN (K) warns GoI against NEW DELHI, JUL 3 (IANS): With far higher transmission speed than 4G, the fifth generation cellular network or 5G promises to bring about dramatic changes to the way we lead our lives and how healthcare services are provided. There are, however, also concerns regarding adverse health effects of exposure to radiofrequency radiation associated with the roll out of 5G. The strength of radiofrequency (RF) signals fields is highest at its source and as deployment of 5G would lead to more mobile antennas, there are fears of more radiation leading to poor health. Experts are, however, of the opinion that there are not much reasons to fear as long as India follows the standards of safety set by regulatory authorities that are followed in Europe and
other developed nations. The World Health Organization has also played down the fears associated with exposure to RF signals. The only health effect from RF fields identified in scientific reviews has been related to an increase in body temperature from exposure at very high field intensity and this minor increase in temperature do not affect human health, according to the WHO. “The term ‘radiation’ has a tendency to lead to
confusion and cause fear and misconceptions. However, radiation is of two types - ionising and nonionising. Non-ionising radiations which are found in mobile devices have not proved to be harzardous for human health,” Vaibhav Mishra, Additional Director, Department of Cardiac Surgery, Fortis Hospital Noida, told IANS. “It is the ionising radiations which one needs to be careful of. For example - the UV (ultraviolet) rays emitted
by the sun are ionising in nature and can cause significant damage to our cell structures,” Mishra added. “The reason this question is being asked is because 5G will have a higher speed, therefore require more radiation. But there is no long term data or study which concludes that there will be a negative impact on human body from the 5G radiation,” Mishra said. Tarun Sahni from Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals in New Delhi pointed out that many devices like ECG electrodes, pacemakers, ultrasounds emit targeted high frequency radiowaves. “Devices using high frequency radio waves are used for multiple purposes, besides their use in smartphones. But the evidence is not strong enough to suggest that these radiowaves are causing any big risk to
human health,” said Sahni, Senior Consultant, Internal Medicine. He, however, cautioned that anything used at an extreme degree has the potential to cause some impairment. “Even if there is a risk, it’s very minimal,” he added. According to T.V. Ramachandran, President, Broadband India Forum, an association of the telecom network and broadcasters, far from affecting our health adversely, 5G will improve healthcare services. “As far as impact of radiation on health is concerned, we have done enough work on that area and I can tell you that similar concerns were raised when 3G and 4G were rolled out. People with inadequate understanding are raising these issues,” Ramachandran said.
non-fulfilment of its 4 demands
DIMAPUR, JUL 3 (NPN): GPRN/NSCN (K) has war ned the Centre the consequences of failing to adhere to its commitment to four basic points, besides warning other factions against taking advantage of its stoical attitude despite repeated provocations. In a statement issued by its MIP, the group reiterated the four-point demand put forth by it before entering the official ceasefire– i) release of political prisoners, ii) removal of terrorist tag, iii) removal of bounty placed on its top leaders and iv) removal of AFSPA and Disturbed Area. Asking the Centre to address these issues on a priority bases as it was almost a year that it had not seen any positive progress or development, GPRN/ NSCN (K) stressed that
points 1 and 2 were important as by removing the terrorist tag through an official notification by the Union home ministry, the political prisoners would be released unconditionally. The MIP statement explained that NSCN (K) was listed as a terrorist group under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act. But as the group led by Khango Konyak had come forward for peace talks, the Centre should remove the tag from the group, unlike the Aung Yung-led NSCN (K), it said. Imploring the Centre to address the issues, the group cautioned that unless this was done, continuing the ceasefire in the next term seemed impossible, as there was no point if these issues were not taken up.

NPGN/NNC clarifies; adopts resolution
DIMAPUR: NPGN/ NNC at its cabinet emergency meeting on July 1 has discussed on the “propaganda” spread by T.

Meghalaya CM hails SC order on coal mining
Shillong, July 3 (PTI): Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma Wednesday hailed the Supreme Court’s order allowing mining operations in privately and community owned land in the state, subject to the permissions from the concerned authorities. The judgment is the victory of the people, specially of the tribal community and its most important part is that the tribal rights have been recognised, he said. “The fact that the Supreme Court has come out with a judgment which states that the land and the resources are of the owners, is landmark and historic, as it gives back the entire ownership to the people,” the chief minister said in a statement here. “This is the biggest victory, biggest aspect of the judgment as a whole,” he said. Sangma said his government is yet to receive the official judgement but “from the basic gist we have been made to understand that the ban that was put in place by the National Green Tribunal has been set aside by the Supreme Court”. The Supreme Court Wednesday directed the Meghalaya government to deposit the Rs 100 crore fine imposed on it by the
Conrad K Sangma NGT for failing to curb illegal coal mining with the Central Pollution Control Board. The NGT had fined the Meghalaya government on January 4. During the hearing, the state government had admitted that a large number of mines were operating illegally in the northeastern state. The apex court bench of Justices Ashok Bhushan and K M Joseph directed the state administration to hand over the illegally extracted coal to Coal India Limited (CIL), which will auction it and deposit the funds with the state government. Sangma said the SC has accepted the contention of the state government that the Rs 100 crore penalty imposed by NGT would cause hardship to Meghalaya and has directed that the money be paid from the Meghalaya Environment Protection
and Restoration Fund, which was created for collecting penalties from persons who are engaged in illegal mining. Therefore, the burden of the fine has not been imposed on the state government but on the illegal miners and transporters of illegally mined coal. The state government have in the past penalized such miners and transporters for violations, he added. The chief minister said that from now on proper, scientific and systematic mining should be ensured by adhering to rules and by ensuring utmost concern to the environmental aspect. He also advised the people to strike a balance between economy and ecology while undertaking mining activities. Fifteen miners were trapped on December 13 last year in an illegal rathole coal mine at Ksan in East Jaintia Hills district of Meghalaya, about 3.7 km deep inside a forest, when water from the nearby Lytein river gushed into it. Only two bodies could be recovered from the mine. The apex court had earlier refused to allow the transportation of extracted coal lying across Meghalaya despite several requests by the miners.

Assam Rifles send back 135 Myanmarese from Mizoram
Myanmarese refugees in Mizoram. (File) Aizawl, July 3 (IANS): Assam Rifles has sent 135 refugees from Myanmar back to their country and also provided them with 15 days of ration to sustain themselves, a Mizoram district official said on Wednesday. “Assam Rifles troopers sent back 135 Myanmarese belonging to 54 families to their country late on Tuesday. We have also provided them 15 days of ration,” Lawngtlai district Deputy Commissioner Shashanka Ala told IANS over phone. She said around 219 Myanmarese refugees were staying in four villages of Mizoram’s Lawngtlai district since November 2017 after they fled from the Arakan (Rakhine) state of Myanmar following ethnic troubles. “Of the 219 refugees, including children and women, 84 people voluntarily went back to Myanmar and on Tuesday, Assam Rifles sent back another 135 Myanmarese nationals,” Ala said. An official of the Mizoram Home Department said the refugees feared for their safety and were reluctant to return
to Myanmar. “The Union Home Ministry has recently asked the Mizoram government to deport these refugees at the earliest,” the official said refusing to disclose his identity. According to him, during the armed conflict in November 2017 between the Myanmar Army and Rakhine-based militant outfit Arakan Army, over 1,700 refugees from Myanmar villages entered Lawngtlai district of southern Mizoram. “Majority of the refugees subsequently returned to their villages but around 219 immigrants were reluctant to go back even as Myanmar authorities said there was no trouble,” the official said. He said the refugees have constructed houses and are engaged in “jhum” (slash-and-burn) cultivation in Mizoram. In the just-concluded Assembly session, Mizoram Home Minister Lalchamliana had said that the state government has conducted a verification of the identity of these refugees after receiving conflicting reports from Assam Rifles and the district administration.

NE tea planters’ body launches ‘Say no to sickles’ campaign GUWA H AT I , J UL 3 (AGENCIES): The North Eastern Tea Association (NETA) has started a new campaign from Wednesday – ‘Say no to kasi (sickles) for tea harvesting’, reports Northeast Now news. N E TA c h a i r m a n Nepul Saikia said this on Wednesday while adding that the campaign has been launched as there is a tendency by the tea growers to harvest the tea using sickles (Kasi in Assamese) due to labour crisis in peak cropping months. Saikia said the practice is far from being rampant as of now but the NETA wants to make the growers as well as the workers aware about the ill effects of using Kasi — which leads to poor quality of tea leaves affecting the overall quality of Assam tea. “Assam tea is known worldwide for its quality due to hand plucking of ‘two leaves and a bud’. During the last thirty five years there has been huge increase in the land area under tea. In 1990, Assam’s production was 388 million kgs and in 2018, Assam’s production touched 692 million kgs, an 80 per cent increase in production,” Saikia said. Saikia also added that due to increase of tea plantation area, there has been shortage of workers in peak cropping months – July, August, September and October.
Harvesting of tea leaves with sickles leads to deterioration of tea quality. “To overcome the shortage of workers, some growers have resorted to harvesting tea leaves with sickles. Tea leaves harvested with sickles are very poor in quality and this is one of the major reasons in deterioration of quality of Assam tea. As per latest Tea Board figures, about 49 per cent of tea produced in Assam is from the green tea leaves of small tea growers,” he said. He added that although majority of small tea growers do not use sickles throughout the year but the campaign was started before it is too late. “This campaign is to basically bring awareness amongst the growers on harvesting of quality tea leaves and also to bring attention of policy makers in providing growers with substitutes like shears, battery operated plucking machines and one/
two men operated harvesting machines,” said Bidyananda Barkakoty, adviser NETA. “Tea Board has a field mechanisation scheme of 25 per cent subsidy on plucking and pruning machines for general category and 100 per cent subsidy for SC and ST. This scheme can be further popularised amongst the growers and subsidy amount should be increased to 75 per cent for general category,” said Barkakoty, who is also a former vice-chairman of Tea Board. “A Guwahati-based investor is developing a plucking machine with an Israeli innovator and we are expecting a prototype of it in October. This plucking machine which is in designing stage now will help in selective harvesting of tea leaves similar to hand plucking,” said Barkakoty.

The name of the Petitioner along with his other family members appears in the draft NRC with ARN No...,” the plea said. “It is most humbly submitted that the only ground on which a citizenship of the Petitioner was taken away was his inability to depute someone to appear in his stead before the Foreigners Tribunal,” it said.
The Foreigners Tribunal declared Hoque to be a foreigner in an exparte order without even considering any evidence that may have created a doubt with regard to his citizenship, it said, adding that the panel did not even seek any evidence from the state. Later, the tribunal dismissed the review plea and the high court concurred with the orders. “Neither tribunal nor the high court appreciated that the Petitioner has produced ‘jamabandi’ documents in name of his grandfather issued by the Deputy Commissioner, Nagaon in year 1941-42

INFORMATION
Itanagar, Jul 3 (PTI): The All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU) has demanded a time-bound probe by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) into the killing of National People’s Party (NPP) MLA Tirong Aboh and 10 others in May. The apex students’ body of the state submitted a memorandum in this regard to Chief Minister Pema Khandu during a meeting here Tuesday. Suspected NSCN militants killed Aboh, his son and nine others at 12 mile area in Tirap district on May 21 when they were going to Khonsa from Dibrugarh. In a statement Wednesday, the AAPSU asked the BJP-led governments at the Centre and the state to exhibit ‘strong political will’ to bring peace in insurgency-hit eastern districts of Tirap, Changlang and Longding by acting against the belligerents. “With the issue of granting citizenship rights (to Chakmas and Hajongs) pending in the Supreme Court, enrolling them in the electoral roll is a clear violation of the Constitution of India,” the AAPSU said.

Mnp HC bans quarrying, sand mining
Correspondent
IMPHAL, Jul 3: The High Court of Manipur has imposed a total ban on unauthorised stone quarry, sand mining, river pollution etc. in all rivers in Manipur. The order was passed by a division bench of chief justice Ramalingam Sudhakar and justice Kh Nobin of the High Court of Manipur on Tuesday. The order stated that “no one shall carry out any such activities towards stone quarry, sand mining and river pollution etc. except in case where a license or lease is granted in accordance with law.” Deputy commissioners, the superintendents of police and district forest officers of all the districts should to take up preventive measures in order to ensure that such unauthorised and unlawful activities do not take place in the rivers of the state, the order added. In the event of any person found to have indulged
in such activities, they shall be proceeded as per law, it added. The court also appointed advocates A Mohendro and Harichhaya as amicus curiae to assist the court considering the importance of the issue involved in stone quarry, sand mining and river pollution, etc. The court passed the order after hearing a suo moto PIL taken up by the same court in response to a submission by Thoubal River Conservation Committee (TRCC), campaigning for the conservation of the river since around two years with active supports from the people of the district. The TRCC has sought cour t’s inter vention in checking stone quarry, sand mining and other activities that heavily polluted the Thoubal River, an important river running in Thoubal district. However, considering the gravity of the problems being faced by the people, particularly residing near
rivers of the state, the court expanded the scope of the PIL to all the rivers in the state. TRCC is a conglomerate of 35 clubs of villages along the Thoubal River and Meira Paibi organisations, contesting the unchecked sand mining and quarrying from the riverbed of Thoubal River to save the river. The High Court of Manipur has taken up the suo moto PIL for the conservation of Thoubal River in February this year responding to the submission of the TRCC. The use of excavators to dug up the soil underneath the river and wash it again at the same site has resulted in the river waters turning clay-coloured from the past two years, the TRCC alleged. Following strong pressure from the TRCC and its supporters, the state forest department had also taken up various steps to check and stop illegal sand mining and stone quarrying from Thoubal River. However, no fruitful
results came up in the absent of strong commitment from the state government side, the TRCC had alleged in its submission to the court in February this year, praying court’s intervention in halting stone and sand mining activities from the river. The committee (TRCC) further appealed for legal actions to be initiated against the authorities concerned who have repeatedly ignored demands and memorandums submitted by the public. The order of the High Court of Manipur was passed on the same day on which people of Thoubal district under the aegis of the TRCC staged a protest in front of the court complex in Imphal to save Thoubal River and deliver swift justice to the people inhabiting along the stretch of Thoubal River. The protest was held prior to the third hearing of the suo moto PIL taken up by the High Court on February 8 based on a complaint by TRCC.

Pro-influx forces trying to Coal mining to resume in disrupt NRC in Assam: AASU Arunachal after 7 years
ITANAGAR, JUL 3 (PTI): The Arunachal Pradesh government decided to resume coal mining in the state, which has been suspended since May, 2012 after a direction by the Centre following involvement of insurgent groups in the extraction process, officials said here on Tuesday. The Supreme Court, in a recent judgement, lifted the suspension from Namchik-Namphuk, the lone coal mine in the state, in Changlang district, the officials said. At a meeting here on Monday, Chief Minister Pema Khandu directed the officials to settle the matter by paying an additional levy of Rs 32 crore imposed by the Ministry of Coal, the officials said.

NRC reached its final stage only due to the constant monitoring by the Supreme Court. He alleged that since the beginning of the process, certain forces were desperately trying to protect the interests of foreigners living illegally in Assam and such forces were still trying to disrupt the process and create confusion among people. The AASU leader said the government should take strong action against anyone found to be involved in such a conspiracy. Bhattachar ya said verification of documents submitted along with claims and objections were in the final stage and appealed to all officers and staff involved in the process including the State NRC Coordinator, Deputy Commissioners, Additional Deputy Commissioners, Circle officers and others to ensure that no foreign national can get his or her name included in the NRC. The Supreme Courtmonitored NRC exercise, aimed at identifying illegal immigrants, was carried out only in Assam which faced influx of people from Bangladesh. When the NRC was first prepared in Assam in 1951, the state had 80 lakh citizens. According to the 2011 census, the state’s total population is over 3.11 crore.

G u wahati , J u l 3 (PTI): The All Assam Students’ Union (AASU), which spearheaded a sixyear-long agitation against illegal immigrants in 1980s, Wednesday alleged that certain pro-influx forces were trying to disrupt the ongoing exercise to update the National Register of Citizens (NRC). AASU chief adviser Samujjal Bhattachar ya claimed that forged documents were found in several parts of Assam in the recent past which suggest that efforts are on to include illegal immigrants in the final NRC list. “We have information that certain pro-illegal immigrants forces are trying to disrupt and delay the NRC process,” he told PTI. The allegation by the AASU came less than a month before the publication of the final NRC, a list of Assam’s residents. 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 names of 2.9 crore people out of the total 3.29 crore applicants. 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. Bhattacharya said the process of updating the

American independence
A
merican Independence Day is celebrated on July 4 as a federal holiday. It was on this day in 1776 that colonies of the white British immigrants , seceded from Great Britain and declared their independence. In practice, if f July 4 is a Saturday, it is observed on Friday, July 3. Again, if July 4 is a Sunday, it is observed on Monday, July 5. Americans observe their independence day through public events, parades, shows and fireworks displays. The core value of the Declaration f Independence states : “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Americans love to call their country as the “world’s melting pot” with diverse peoples from various cultural, racial and religious backgrounds. “America” was accidentally discovered by Christopher Columbus, an Italian explorer, navigator, and colonist who completed four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean under the auspices of the Catholic Monarchs of Spain. Columbus made four trips across the Atlantic Ocean from Spain: in 1492, 1493, 1498 and 1502. He was determined to find a direct water route west from Europe to Asia, but he never did. Instead, he accidentally stumbled upon the Americas. America is indeed a melting pot of various immigrants beginning from the white settlers from Europe, especially England. America prides itself as a nation that upholds equality and justice for all humans. Americans have fought many wars in far away lands for freedom and justice of the oppressed. However, when it comes to their own backyard, Americans seem to forget the most important saying “ practise what you preach.” The white immigrants who declared independence were not indigenous to the new nation. The indigenous inhabitants were the various tribes who were called as “Red Indians”. The founding fathers who made their Declaration of Independence, looked upon the “red Indians” as merciless savages, who only knew warfare. In their quest to rule over the new nation, the federal government, U.S. Army, and many white settlers forced countless native Americans off their lands, away from ancient hunting grounds, and onto reservations. The most infamous removal of native Americans took place in 1838, when the Cherokee nation was strongly pressured to give up its lands east of the Mississippi River and to migrate to an area in present-day Oklahoma. Another tragic example of U.S. injustices toward Native Americans came on Dec. 29, 1890, when the U.S. Army's 7th Cavalry surrounded a Lakota Sioux camp near Wounded Knee Creek on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota and massacred between 150 to 300 men, women and children. According to a report by the US Civil Rights Commission, native Americans still suffer higher rates of poverty, poor educational achievement, substandard housing, and higher rates of disease and illness. Native Americans continue to rank at or near the bottom of nearly every social, health, and economic indicator. Native Americans living on tribal lands do not have access to the same services and programs available to other Americans, even though the government has a binding trust obligation to provide them. The Declaration of Independence as it may, unfortunately does not include the native Americans who have been corralled inside reservations.
DailyDevotion The Concentration of Personal Sin Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips… —Isaiah 6:5 When I come into the very presence of God, I do not realize that I am a sinner in an indefinite sense, but I suddenly realize and the focus of my attention is directed toward the concentration of sin in a particular area of my life. A person will easily say, “Oh yes, I know I am a sinner,” but when he comes into the presence of God he cannot get away with such a broad and indefinite statement. Our conviction is focused on our specific sin, and we realize, as Isaiah did, what we really are. This is always the sign that a person is in the presence of God. There is never any vague sense of sin, but a focusing on the concentration of sin in some specific, personal area of life. God begins by convicting us of the very thing to which His Spirit has directed our mind’s attention. If we will surrender, submitting to His conviction of that particular sin, He will lead us down to where He can reveal the vast underlying nature of sin. That is the way God always deals with us when we are consciously aware of His presence. This experience of our attention being directed to our concentration of personal sin is true in everyone’s life, from the greatest of saints to the worst of sinners. When a person first begins climbing the ladder of experience, he might say, “I don’t know where I’ve gone wrong,” but the Spirit of God will point out some definite and specific thing to him. The effect of Isaiah’s vision of the holiness of the Lord was the directing of his attention to the fact that he was “a man of unclean lips.” “He touched my mouth with it, and said: ‘Behold, this has touched your lips; your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged’ ” (Isaiah 6:7). The cleansing fire had to be applied where the sin had been concentrated.

Collaging impetus of environmental degradation
C
limate change has inevitably become an integral coefficient of our routine lives. Irrespective of our substantial evidentiary information or speculations on how contingency of natural habitat will be shaped, as the peer reviewed coined term “hot machine -- civilization” transitions periodically, our rhetorical indifference to drive conservation because of our individually inclined thesis of beliefs: our sensory or intuitive perceptual subjective identification of the natural environment between methodical and erroneous surface remarks that are not scientifically authentic, merge with the underlying fundamental patterns and is asymmetrical, climate change in and of itself has auto-piloted abruptly convoyed on to abysmally parade it’s desolation on poorly and ineffectively monitored hot machine civilization i.e. the global human ecosystem. Many atmospheric scientists and climate experts have estimated by 2050 the climate conditions would drastically surge high past the marginal suitable denominator as such the radiation from the decaying environmental anomaly would be the end of civilization as we know it. But Guy McPherson has trademarked another speculation of environmental fallout doomsday, this version much abbreviated since his idea on Near-Term Human Extinction has a close deadline by as early as 2030. The estimations projected by these scientists are backed by
compelling arguments and have mathematical probability of occurring give or take few period of time. By 2016, the bleaching of half the Great Barrier Reef located on the Coral Sea, Australia, have stirred the impulses of researchers encompassing myriad spectrum of field of study. This was one of recent wake up call alarm sounded to humanity by the forces of global warming. McPherson substantiates that the human civilization has reached a pivotal equinox of irony where ‘aerosol masking effect’ has involuntarily partially reduced the scouring solar waves infiltrating earth from the sun but the gradual linear trajectory of environmental decay is lost on the apex of technological epitome humans have achieved on a global scale. He goes on to say that by diminishing civilization, when the greenhouse gases are marginalized, this will cause the aerosols to sediment below the stratosphere hence causing the solar waves to accelerate heating the earth. Bill McKibben, a renowned American environmentalist whose organization “anti-carbon campaign group” funded by The Rockefeller Foundation, attributing to the objectively descriptive phenomena of abrupt climate change has said that there is no stopping this runaway train. Figuratively speaking, this elucidates painstakingly in comprehensive proportion how unless a revolutionary technological apparatus is introduced in place to

address these inexorable issues, with or without being informed on climate change, turning the sails towards unmotivated attitude, ecological toxicity and redundancy would be equivalent to articulating monotonously but portraying as sharp to strawman out pragmatism on addressing climate change without really, only to await the inevitable at the cost of unremunerative dense self-esteem. Technological revolution has awarded humans its credible domain to commute and interface more interconnectedly, gearing forward to insure collective posterity’s quintessential environmental and sustainable conditions. Perhaps that’s our only essential purpose in life in account of the big picture. But the million dollar question is “can technology succeed in maintaining equilibrium of the natural environment before time runs out?” Can science reason some way out to disintegrate the molecular bond of the chemical compounds like CFC and greenhouse gases. Can it manage to fill up the ozone space with auxiliary compounds to deflect harmful solar radiations. We would be eagerly awaiting for the scientific community to fast track research for further eureka moments, until then, our technologically simulative civilization measurably is underpinned to confront an irreversible climate change to naturally erode away for the civilization within the few decades.

Film as an art
he importance of films and cinema as a cultural and propagandist forces is a matter of fact also. It may be opinion but cinema is an art. Amusement, or entertainment is readily recognized as a creative element of give-and-take between the production and the viewers. In our State, we have many potentialities and resources to feed film making and the youth should rise to the occasion, but this is lacking. Documentary films on the topics of education, health, cultural and development may be produced so also the socio-economic life of our people. The young generation has reached a stage where they can avail the advantage of the techniques of stage and that of film acting. Ignorance has been bliss all these years and years are taking us somewhere something is lacking. Film stories usually have a structure that progresses scene by scene from the statement of a situation which is carefully planned. Film is nothing but feeble mechanical reproduction of real life. Documentary film lays claim to objectivity asserting its conviction that its choices have a special validity and deserve everyone’s acceptance. Vendor, defined it, to capture “Fragments of actuality” and combine them treatment of actuality. Such formulations stress two functions: (1) Recording of image and sounds (2) Interpretation . Special quality of documentary films help much for those who use it regardless of motive -the source of power and enlighten. The artistic image is always based on an organic link between
idea and form. You cannot achieve anything in art unless you are free from received ideas. You have to work on your own position, your individual point of view subject always. The inner world created by cinematic means always has to be taken reality as it were objectively established in the recorded moment. The art of movie making: it has many movements, captured from life and captured by the camera. Films are somewhat like opening another door and walking out into reality. Through films reality is interpreted from the point of view of the common man and it is also a personal drama with a large extension; cinema itself is educative, essentially with high quality of performances to suit the story. Films have moveable visual equalities. Films open a number of questions to viewers; to live a peaceful life or to live an intense life. Every film must have the quality of excitement and drama. Most of the players must show deep involvement and sensitivity. Film is made for various social objectives: To provide several hours of imagination, amusing or intelligent entertainment, receive aesthetic pleasure of an order as high as that which is obtained from the work of art in other media, record and preserve historical events, to provide a leveler background to the children and students, to educate and enlighten grown-up people in terms of general interest, people welfare and social interest and to carry out political or any other propaganda.

Rehabilitation of surrendered insurgents
A
government’s success in making militants or armed extremists surrender is incomplete without rehabilitating them in the main society. Though the Indian Government and many of the federal ones have with time to time worked on their surrender and rehabilitation policy, the surrendered cadres of various outfits still have not retrieved the lost ground for which they usually give up arms. Any state government’s role of rehabilitating such citizens is of utmost importance as it not just paves way for more of similar cadres to give up the path of armed extremism against the state but also acts as a deterrent for the young ones tilted towards such obscure paths to join such movements. Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel’s recent call at the NITI Ayog’s governing council meet to go tough on the surrendered Maoists and change the surrender and rehabilitation policies to allow legal cases to continue against armed outfit’s senior leaders can cause backfire. The idea will not just obstruct the existing peace negotiations between various of the outfits and the government but also jolt the rise in surrendering of militants in various states. In the recent years after the Narendra Modi government came in there has been a spree in young cadres of outlawed groups giving up arms and joining the main stream. Chhattisgarh, a state that has witnessed one of the wildest Maoists movements apart from Jharkhand, Odisha among others, in the recent times have seen the highest number of surrenders of the cadres from various outfits. In 2018 alone, over 250 cadres gave up arms to join the main stream with the highest being 62 militants in November same year. Similarly in North East, nearly 75 cadres of various outfits such as NSCN (Reformation), NDFB (S) and others from similar groups in Manipur gave up their arms to be in the main stream. Now the question arises, should the Centre or the federal governments contradict their own rules by making changes in the rehabilitation and surrender policies. While the governments have come up with various kinds of schemes, including skill development and training, to support the young cadres to merge back in the main stream, any move to tighten proceedings against them may backfire and has the potential
to prevent the cadres from surrendering. Currently majority of such leaders, part of peace talks with the government, have cases against them. For example Anup Chetia of the ULFA (Pro-talk) faction has criminal cases against him and is out on bail. He and many of other leaders like Arabinda Rajkhowa (ULFA-Pro-Talk), Gobinda Basumatry of NDFB (Progressive) among others chose to come on the negotiation table only after having faith on the Government’s policies. Let the legal course take its own way in its due time without much stress as the subject being a critical one and government’s motive remains to bring back most of citizens taken up arms for a cause against the government. A militant once back to the society needs to be rehabilitated. Apart from the ire of the public, such people also take time to get adjusted in the society and take up any work for their living. In the recent times, state governments have spent hundreds of crore for providing various kinds of training to the surrendered cadres. Once suggested a work for sustaining their life, there are less chances that such surrendered cadres would return back to jungles. If the NITI Ayog takes up seriously any such proposal suggested by Baghel, it will strike at the core of the principle of surrender, and senior Maoists and extremist leaders may simply choose not to surrender under these circumstances. In such a situation it is the Government which is at a loss. Today is an era when the armed revolution is itself at its fag end and majority of the cadres are willing to give up arms
and settle back in the society. In such a situation, the Government cannot afford to take risk and lose the game already half won. It is the belief of the Government of India that through a holistic approach focused on development and security-related interventions, the Left Wing Extremism (LWE) problem can be successfully tackled. What is required is restructuring the rehabilitation programmes in a positive way and help the number of surrenderee to go up. After all, the information gathered from such cadres are helpful in tackling the remaining ones who continue with the outfit. This may also cut down the Governments’ hundreds of crore expenses incurred in fighting the Left Wing Extremism and the militancy in North East. Currently, Centre’s surrender and rehabilitation policy does not take away pending cases against the surrendered cadres, but allows room for manoeuvre. It allows cases in the courts against the surrenderee facing heinous crimes. It is up to the states if they consider providing free legal services / advocate to the surrendered naxalite as per the policy. The Government can also constitute fast track courts may for speedy trial of cases against surrenderees. However, in Chhattisgarh government situation depends on the assessment and behaviour of the surrenderee. A sub-committee of the Cabinet is authorised to take a decision on revoking pending cases. There is a need for a softer rehabilitation policy to get the surrenderee rehabilitated and not shoo them away from joining the mainstream. Rupesh Dutta (New Delhi based senior journalist)

23 feared dead after dam breach in Maha; 11 recovered
A view of the Tiware dam after it breached following incessant rains, in Ratnagiri, Wednesday. (PTI)
MUMBAI, JUL 3 (PTI): Twenty three persons are feared dead after a dam in Maharashtra’s coastal Konkan region breached following incessant rains leading to flood-like situation in downstream villages, officials said Wednesday. Bodies of 11 persons have been recovered so far, a police official said. The total toll would be 23, he added. The Tiware dam in Chiplun taluka of Ratnagiri district has a storage capacity of 20 lakh cubic metre. It developed a breach late Tuesday night, a district official said. The dam breach caused a flood-like situation in seven downstream villages, with 12 houses being swept away. “So far, 11 bodies have been recovered,” said Additional Superintendent of Po-
lice, Ratnagiri, Vishal Gaikwad. Police have moved villagers to safety, he added. Relatives of the victims said they had asked district administration to repair the dam as they had spotted cracks in November last year. There was an issue over the jurisdiction of which tehsil Tiware dam falls in, as Chiplun and Dapoli tehsil offices had ignored the application of the villagers, said a family member of one of the dead. “It is only because of their negligence that we have seen this day,” he said. “My parents, wife and child of one and a half year is missing,” he added. “My brother, who had gone to bring his vehicle did not return,” he said. A search operation has been launched by the Na-
Plea in HC for making marital rape a ground for divorce NEW DELHI, JUL 3 (PTI): A plea was filed in the Delhi High Court on Wednesday seeking direction to the Centre to frame guidelines for registration of FIR for marital rape as also laws for making it a ground for divorce. The PIL sought that there should be a clear guideline for registration of cases related to marital rape under framed guidelines and laws, so that accountability, responsibility and liability of the authorities concerned can be fixed. The plea, likely to be listed next week, was filed after the Supreme Court on Monday refused to entertain it and asked the petitioner, advocate Anuja Kapur, to approach the high court for relief. She also sought direction to the government for fixing appropriate
punishment/ penalties for violation of the guidelines and laws to be framed and enacted respectively. “Marital rape is no less an offence than murder, culpable homicide or rape per se. It denigrates the honour and dignity of a human being, and reduces her to a chattel to be utilised for one’s self convenience and comfort. It reduces a woman to a corpse, living under the constant fear of hurt or injury. Medical evidence proves that rape has severe and long-lasting consequences for women,” the plea said. Kapur said in her plea that at present there is an ambiguity in the implementation of the context of marital rape as a ground of punishment or penalty during the registration of such a case in ambit of law.
tional Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and state police personnel. A police officer said rescue operations were hampered initially due to darkness and sudden influx of water. Local public representatives claimed the government neglected their pleas for repair of the dam. They said the administration was informed about cracks in the walls of the dam, but no action was taken. Maharashtra Water Resources Minister Girish Mahajan said villagers in the area had complained of cracks in the dam. “This dam was built 14 years ago. The state government will find out at which level there was negligence and necessary action will be taken accordingly,” he said. Homes of the villagers washed away will be constructed at safe places, he said. A compensation of Rs four lakh will be given to the kin of each of the deceased person, he added. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has ordered an inquiry into the incident. “The reason for the breach will be probed and action would be taken against the guilty expeditiously,” the chief minister said. Fadnavis contacted the district administration and took stock of the relief and rescue operations, an official statement said.

Centre hasn’t approved name change of West Bengal: MHA
Rtd army man failed to establish himself as Indian citizen: Govt
Nityanand Rai (File)
NEW DELHI, JUL 3 (PTI): The Centre has not yet given its nod to change the name of West Bengal to ‘Bangla’ as proposed by the Mamata Banerjee government, Union Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai said Wednesday. Rai said this in a written response in Rajya Sabha to a question from MP Ritabrata Banerjee. “No, sir,” he said when asked whether the Centre has cleared the name ‘Bangla’ for West Bengal as proposed by the state government. Changing a state’s name requires constitutional amendment and it is done after taking into consideration all relevant factors, Rai said. On July 26 last year, the West Bengal assembly had passed a resolution unanimously to change the name of the state to ‘Bangla’ in the three most-spoken languages -- Bengali, Hindi and English -- and had sent the proposal to the Home Ministry. It suggested ‘Paschimbanga’ in 2011, but it was turned down by the central
government. In 2016, it proposed ‘Bengal’ in English, ‘Bangla’ in Bengali and ‘Bangal’ in Hindi, which was also turned down. Finally, it proposed the name ‘Bangla’ in July last year. When the earlier proposals were received, there was objection from the central government that suggested the name ‘Bangla’ had similarity to Bangladesh and it would be difficult to differentiate the two at international forums, a senior official privy to the developments said. The 2018 proposal was also referred to the Ministry of External Affairs for its view. The last time the name of a state was changed was in 2011, when Orissa became Odisha. Bombay was renamed Mumbai in 1995, Madras as Chennai in 1996 and Calcutta as Kolkata in 2001. The central government had approved name changes for 11 cities in Karnataka, including that of Bangalore to Bengaluru, in 2014.
NEW DELHI, JUL 3 (PTI): Retired Army man Mohammad Sanaullah was kept at a detention camp in Assam last month as he failed to furnish evidence before a foreigners tribunal in the state to establish that he is Indian by birth, the Rajya Sabha was informed Wednesday. Union Minister of State for Home G Kishan Reddy said this in a written reply to a question in the Upper House. Mohammad Sanaullah failed to furnish evidence before the tribunal to establish his linkage to his parentage on Indian soil prior to March 25, 1971, and also could not submit proof to establish that he is Indian by birth, the house was informed. “The foreigners tribunal observed that none of the documents and their

content produced by Md. Sanaullah was proved by the authority concerned to establish the linkage about his citizenship. “The foreigners tribunal found that Md. Sanaullah failed to furnish the required evidence under Section 9 of the Foreigners Act, 1946, to establish his linkage to his parentage on Indian soil prior to March 25, 1971, and to submit
any proof to establish the fact that he was an Indian citizen by birth,” G Kishan Reddy said. The minister said a reference under the Foreigners Act about the nationality of Mohammad Sanaullah, a resident of Boko in Assam’s Kamrup Rural district, was made by the local police. On receipt of the reference, a foreigners tribunal in the district issued a notice to Mohammad Sanaullah and examined the documents and witnesses produced by him as per procedure. Pursuant to the decision of the tribunal, Mohammad Sanaullah was kept in a detention camp. The Gauhati High Court in its order dated June 7, 2019, has granted him interim bail, G Kishan Reddy said.

“We cannot stay at peace and enjoy when our own brothers with whom we have slept and fought with unbroken spirits are still languishing in jails simply for defending our land,” the group pointed out. It, however, admitted that there were few prisoners who were incarcerated for other crimes, but claimed that majority were genuine workers who were caught while on the line of duty. Meanwhile, asking Assam Rifles not to unnecessarily harass its cadres without valid reasons, GPRN/ NSCN (K) warned that if the former continued to treat the group’s cadres in this manner, it could lead to breakout of fresh hostilities as the group’s frustration was piling up due to Centre’s failed promises.

Accusing the army of violating ceasefire ground rules on two or three occasions, the group asked the former to exercise restraint as re-entering ceasefire did not give the soldiers the right to intrude into its official space, or the right to harass. Meanwhile, NSCN (K) warned other groups not to meddle in its affairs, financial or official. As it did not interfere in others’ affairs, the group said there should be no question of others pricking in its affairs. Warning the NNPGS to desist from further provocation and stop flexing their muscles and meting stepbrotherly treatment to it, the group warned that should there be any such occurrence, it would retaliate without any apprehension as it would not take responsibility of any such act.

Meanwhile, weaker American currency against its key rivals also helped the rupee trade higher. However, rising crude oil prices and foreign fund outflows weighed on the domestic currency and restricted its rise. The dollar index, which gauges the greenback’s strength against a basket of six currencies, fell marginally by 0.03 per cent to 96.70.

Following election promises, the government could present a plan for investing up to 100 trillion rupees ($1.45 trillion) on highways, railways and ports while budgeting another 25 trillion rupees for increasing farm productivity over five years, BJP officials said. To meet the funds required for all that, Sitharaman may need to increase February’s 3.4% target for fiscal deficit to gross domestic product to 3.6%, said a senior government official. A Reuters poll showed economists expected a 3.5% target. Sitharaman is also likely to seek a higher dividend from the central bank, draw up plans to raise funds from a 5G telecom auction and propose more privatisation, sources said. After becoming prime

The MSP for paddy has been increased by Rs 65 per quintal, Jowar by Rs 120 per quintal and Ragi by Rs 253 per quintal. The decision was taken at the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi here. The minister further said MSP of tur, moong and urad pulses also have been raised by Rs 215, Rs 75 and Rs 100, respectively, for the 2019-20 crop season.

BIG INVESTMENT PLANS On Friday, new minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present a full-year budget that Agarwal said could lower corporate taxes for small and medium-sized businesses as well as personal ones to revive consumption by the middle class that gave Modi a second term, while withdrawing some tax exemptions. In 2018, Indian government reduced the corporate tax rate to 25% from 30% for companies

FALLING RURAL DEMAND “A large part of the economy is facing a recession with a fall in rural demand and private investments,” said Ashwani Mahajan, chief of the economic wing of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the ideological parent of Modi’s ruling group. “It is the right time to expand the fiscal deficit up to 4% of GDP,” he said adding the budget could provide tax incentives for food processing, logistics and small businesses as well as affordable housing. Private investment in India rose an annual 7.2% in January-March, down from 8.4% the previous quarter. Capital investment growth slowed to 3.6% from 10.6%.

New Delhi, Jul 3 (Agencies): Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government on Friday will unveil a budget that is expected to cut taxes on business and raise spending in a bid to shore up consumption and faltering economic growth. Analysts say Modi, boosted by a sweeping election victory, hopes to use the budget to restart reforms and deal with a series of economic woes, Reuters reported. In January-March, annual growth slumped to 5.8%, the slowest pace in 20 quarters. Growth for the financial year that ended in March was 6.8%, also a five-year low, and indicators such as plummeting industrial output and automobile sales have stoked fears of a deeper slowdown. A shortfall in monsoon rains, pivotal for the farm sector that employs nearly half of India’s workers, has increased concerns of rural distress and strengthened the case for intervention, a leader of Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) said. “The focus of the budget will be to boost domestic consumption, address the rural crisis and support small manufacturers,” Gopal Krishna Agarwal, BJP’s economic affairs spokesman, told Reuters.

EU picks women for top jobs after negotiations
Brussels, Jul 3 (IANS): Three days of negotiations in Brussels among the EU leaders have culminated in the nomination of German Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen to serve as the President of the European Commission and International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde for the presidency of the European Central Bank (ECB). The governments of the European Union member-states reached the decision to give two of the top four EU jobs to women after a marathon set of talks that exposed the continent’s simmering divisions. Von Der Leyen’s role must be confirmed by a vote in the European Parliament. If elected, both Von der Leyen, 60, and Lagarde, 63,
Ursula von der Leyen (File) would be the first women to hold the positions of Commission President and bloc’s central bank chief, respectively. Outgoing European Council President Donald Tusk called the appointments “a perfect gender balance”. Belgian liberal Prime Minister Charles Michel was nominated to replace Tusk, while Spain’s acting Foreign Minister Josep Bor-
rell, 72, was proposed for the post of foreign policy chief, the BBC reported. Borrell’s nomination also needs to be confirmed by the European Parliament. In the case of Lagarde, the Parliament has only a consultative role. The European Council, comprised EU heads of government, has sole authority to name its President, so Michel, 43, faces no hurdles to becoming the successor to Donald Tusk of Poland. With a failure to agree on who should preside over the European Parliament, member-states decided to make Bulgarian social democrat Sergei Stanichev Speaker for the first half of the legislature, to be followed by German conservative Manfred Weber in the second, Efe news reported.
Japan to evacuate 600,000 people over heavy rains
Kagoshima received 40 mm-m2 between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. on Tuesday.
Tokyo, Jul 3 (IANS): Japanese authorities on Wednesday ordered the evacuation of around 600,000 people in the southwestern city of Kagoshima due to the heavy rains that have been lashing the region in recent days and are expected to further intensify. Kagoshima is situated in a bay on the southern island of Kyushu. Some parts of the island have received 900 millimeters of rainfall per square meter since last week. Kagoshima received 40 mm/
m2 between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. on Tuesday. The Japan Meteorological Agency has forecast rainfall of around 350 mm/m2 in southern Kyushu by Thursday morning, while some areas in the region could receive up to 80 mm per hour, reported Efe news. The authorities fear that the downpour could cause mudslides, the main reason to issue the evacuation order for some 600,000 people starting at 9.35 a.m. time, according to the Kagoshima municipality.

Huawei 5G marketing ban will continue: Trump’s advisor Washington, Jul 3 (IANS): The White House has said that Chinese tech giant Huawei will remain banned from developing its 5G wireless networks in the US, although US firms will be allowed to sell small components such as chips to the Chinese company. In an interview with CNBC on Tuesday, the White House’s trade advisor, Peter Navarro, announced that the Donald Trump administration will continue to prohibit Huawei from marketing its 5G Internet technology in the US, which Washington fears the company may use to spy for the Chinese government, Efe news reported. The US policy toward Huawei has not changed and will not change, Navarro said. “All we’ve done basically is to allow the sale of chips to Huawei and these are lower tech items which do not impact national security whatever.” “Selling chips to Huawei, a small amount of chips - less than $1 billion a year - in the short run is small in the scheme of things,” Navarro said. He said that Trump is committed to making the US the leader in the race to develop 5G technology, building companies like Nokia and Ericsson in Europe to contribute to the process. Currently, Huawei is very popular in Europe and is leading in the fight for control of 5G wireless networks which will enable users to surf the Internet much more quickly and could facilitate the development of self-driving vehicles, techniques for performing surgery by remote control and other procedures that it now puts within reach. In the face of that, the US is leading a global campaign to prevent Huawei from developing 5G technology and has been pressuring the European Union to re-
strict the firm’s activities. At the recent G20 summit in Osaka, Japan, Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping agreed on a trade truce whereby Washington held off on imposing new tariffs on Chinese goods and agreed to allow US companies to sell products to Huawei. To date, few details have been revealed about the measures that Washington will take vis-a-vis Huawei and, in fact, the Treasury Department still must decide if it will lift the ban it imposed on the company in May which prevents it from using US components. Specifically, the Treasury in mid-May included Huawei on a black list preventing US firms from selling original components - that is, computer chips - to it without prior administration approval, given the suspicions that China’s leader in developing next-generation 5G Internet technology could use those systems for espionage.

Iran to exceed uranium enrichment limit from Sunday: Hassan Rouhani Tehran, Jul 3 (AFP): President Hassan Rouhani said Iran will exceed on Sunday the uranium enrichment limit it agreed in a 2015 deal with major powers, raising it “as much as necessary”. Iran is acting on its May 8 threat to suspend parts of the 2015 nuclear agreement in response to US President Donald Trump’s reimposition of crippling sanctions since withdrawing from it in May last year. “On July 7, our enrichment level will no longer be 3.67 per cent. We will put aside this commitment. We will increase (the enrichment level) beyond 3.67 per cent to as much as we want, as much as is necessary, as much as we need,” Rouhani said during a cabinet meeting on Wednesday. The enrichment maximum set in the agreement is sufficient for power gen-
Hassan Rouhani (File) eration but far below the more than 90 per cent level required for a nuclear warhead. Rouhani stressed that Iran’s action would be reversed if the other parties to the nuclear deal made good on their side of the bargain -- relief from sanctions. “We will remain committed to the (nuclear deal) as long as the other parties are committed. We will act on the JCPOA 100 percent the day that the other party
acts 100 per cent (too).” Iran has sought to pressure the other parties -- Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia -- to save the deal. It announced on May 8 it would no longer respect the limits set on the size of its stockpiles of enriched uranium and heavy water. It threatened to abandon further nuclear commitments, including exceeding the agreed uranium enrichment maximum from July 7. Rouhani said Iran will also deliver on its threat to resume construction of a heavy water reactor after July 7 and will bring it to the condition that “according to you, is dangerous and can produce plutonium.” He added the measures can be reversed in “hours” if the other parties “live up to their commitments.”

warning came close on the heels of BJP’s Indore MLA Akash Vijayvargiya hitting a municipal official with a cricket bat. Modi censured his party’s MLA in presence of his father and party general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya during a BJP’s parliamentary party meet. “Manmani nahin chalegi (Arbitrary acts will not do.) Whoever it may be, whoever’s son he may be ... such arrogance, misbehaviour cannot be tolerated and action should be taken against them,” Modi reportedly told the meeting, also attended by Kailash Vijayvargiya.

The remarks were made by the top court which rejected the petition of an Army personnel challenging his dismissal from service for not retaliating and escaping from the spot when terrorists opened

‘Don’t think Amit Shah will act against Vijayvargiya’
BHOPAL, JUL 3 (PTI): Welcoming Prime Minister Narendra Modi's stern message after MLA Akash Vijayvargiya's assault on a government official, senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh Wednesday wondered whether BJP chief Amit Shah lets any action be taken against the son of his "dear friend" Kailash Vijayvargiya. Akash Vijayvargiya, MLA from Indore-3, was caught on camera assaulting an official of Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) with a cricket bat during an argument over a demolition of a dilapidated house in Ganji compound area on June 26. The son of BJP general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya was later arrested. He walked out jail on Sunday, after a special court granted bail to him. "During the BJP parliamentary party meeting yesterday, Modi ji expressed his anger against Akash's statement and instructed to take action against him. Moreover, he (Modi) also

Shah will let his dear friend Kailash Vijayvargiya's son face any kind of loss," he said in another tweet. During the BJP parliamentary party meeting, the PM had said arrogance and misbehaviour cannot be tolerated. According to sources, he also said that "whoever it may be, whoever's son he may be...such arrogance, misbehaviour cannot be tolerated" and action should be taken against them. Reacting to Digvijay Singh's statement, BJP spokesman Rajnish Agrawal said, "BJP is committed to value-based politics. Senior leaders always guide so that there should be no deviation from the party's values." "Had the Congress carried out its internal reform process, then it would not have impacted the politics adversely. Digvijay Singh ji needs to bring moral reforms in the Congress. BJP is committed to keep its behaviour in accordance to the expectations and aspirations of the society," he added.

instructed to take action against the BJP workers, who welcomed him and indulged in celebratory firing after his release from jail," Singh said in a tweet. The tweet also mentioned Akash's statement in which he had said 'Pehle aavedan, fir nivedan aur phir danadan' (first application, then request and then attack). "If this (what PM said) happens, then congratulations to Modi ji. If not, then we can only say that there is a lot of difference between what you say and what you do, and your intentions are not clean. I don't think Amit

PANAJI, JUL 3 (IANS): Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Wednesday expressed regret that several freedom fighters who fought for Goa’s freedom from colonial yoke could not be freed from Portuguese prisons, years after the liberation of the state in 1961. He was speaking in Panaji at a condolence meet organised for the people to pay tributes to late Mohan Ranade who participated in the freedom struggle for Goa and died in Pune on June 25. “Ranade should have been freed after Goa’s independence. He had to live there (in Portuguese prison) for eight years after liberation. It is a matter
of sadness for us. We got fruits of freedom in 1961, but those who fought for freedom were in prison... As the Chief Minister of Goa, I regret this,” Sawant said. Ranade was a member of the Azad Gomantak Dal, a group of revolutionaries freedom fighters who believed in the doctrine of armed attacks against colonist rule and participated in armed ambushes on several Portuguese installations in Goa, their favourite targets being police stations. Arrested in 1955 for an armed attack on the Betim police station, Sangli-born Ranade who was undercover as a Marathi school teacher in Goa, was first sentenced to five years in solitary confinement in Goa, before serving 14 years in a Portuguese prison near Lisbon. He was in prison when Goa was liberated from Portuguese rule in 1961. He was released soon after then Tamil Nadu Cheif Minister C.N. Annadurai urged Pope Paul VI to request the Portuguese government to release the Ranade from incarceration.
Bodies of 7 mountaineers airlifted to Pithoragarh

PITHORAGARH (U’KHAND), JUL 3 (PTI): Bodies of seven mountaineers, who died on their way to Nanda Devi East peak more than one month ago, were flown in here on Wednesday. They were first brought to Munsiyari by Cheetah helicopters from camp one located at a height of 15,600 feet and then to Naini Saini airport in Pithoragarh by another IAF copter, District Magistrate V K Jogdande said.
The bodies will be taken to Medical College Haldwani for post-mortem and identification, he said. Eight mountaineers had set out on an expedition of the 7,434-metrehigh peak but were reported missing on May 25, the day they were to reach their base camp. One of them is still missing. The ill-fated expedition was led by well-known British mountaineer Martin Moran, who had scaled the peak twice.
The other members of the team are John Charles McLaren, Richard Payne and Rupert James Whewell (from the UK), Ruth Margaret McCance (Australia), Anthony Edward Sudekum and Ronald Isaac Beimel (US), and liaison officer Chetan Pandey. ITBP climbers had to dig out the bodies, which included that of a woman climber, buried under the snow on the western ridge of the peak towards the Pindari glacier on June 23.

China blasts UK for Hunt’s ‘shameless’ HK remark Beijing, Jul 3 (IANS): China on Wednesday blasted Britain’s Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt for making “shameless” remarks after he warned Beijing of serious consequences if it failed to honour the pact under which Hong Kong was returned to it in 1997. Beijing also said it has formally complained to the UK over Hunt’s statement. Mass protests over Beijing-proposed legislation, which would allow individuals to be extradited from Hong Kong to China, have not died down and added to the worries of China despite it shelving the bill. The US and the UK have expressed concerns about China tightening its grip on the former British colony where people enjoy the right to protest and the judiciary is independent unlike on the mainland. Hunt said on Tuesday that China must “honour” the commitments mentioned in the Sino-British agreement signed when Hong Kong was returned to Beijing as an autonomous region. “And if it isn’t there will be serious consequences,” Hunt said.
Geng Shuang
The Chinese Foreign Ministry launched a scathing attack on Hunt when asked about his comments. “I have responded to Mr Hunt’s false statements about Hong Kong for two consecutive days and expressed China’s strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition,” Ministry’s spokesperson Geng Shuang said at a press conference. “However, he seems to be still immersed in the illusion of the former British colonialists. He does not think about repentance and continues to talk about it. I will say a few more words today... To say the so-called freedom of Hong Kong residents is what the British side is fighting for is simply shameless. “We have made solemn representations to
the British side in London and Beijing. I hope that the British side will seriously treat China’s solemn stance and stop making similar false remarks and refrain from grossly interfering in China’s internal affairs.” On July 1, when Hong Kong marked the 22nd anniversary of the return of the city to China, scores of protesters stormed the legislature and ransacked the building. Slamming the protesters, Beijing had said that the “violent incident at the Legislative Council in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) on July 1 was a serious illegal act that trampled on the rule of law and endangered social order”. Geng said that Hunt “ignored the facts and actually said that the SAR government was repressing”. “I want to ask Mr. Hunt if the British Parliament is besieged, invaded and destroyed, will the British government let it go and sit still? If, as Mr Hunt said, this is a democracy, does he think that the police who strictly guard the British Parliament should be withdrawn? Geng asked.

40 migrants killed in air strike in Libya
Airstrike hits Libyan detention center.
Tripoli, Jul 3 (IANS): At least 40 migrants were killed and more than 80 injured in an alleged air strike by forces loyal to Marshal Khalifa Haftar that hit a detention center in Libya’s capital, a source within the UN-backed government said on Wednesday. According to the source, the attack was carried out overnight by F-16 fighter-bombers taking part in Haftar’s military advance toward Tripoli, reported Efe news. “The relief teams are working at the site of the attack. There are dozens of victims,” a spokesman for the ‘Volcano of Rage’ operation launched by the so-called Government of National Accord to beat back Haftar’s onslaught on the capital region told Efe. Haftar, a strongman declaring himself Libya’s
supreme leader, encircled Tripoli on April 4 with the apparent aim of sending a clear message to the international community that his primary objective was to sabotage the current peace plan in place. Since then, constant fighting has been taking place in the rural areas of southern Tripoli. The clashes have killed nearly 600 people, injured more than 5,000 and forced more than 30,000 families to leave their homes and become displaced. The armed clashes have also severely affected thousands of migrants, mostly sub-Saharan Africans, who are in the vicinity of the capital waiting to attempt to illegally migrate to Europe or who are being held in detention centers after failing to do so.
Washington, Jul 3 (IANS): Long before the Apollo 11 put a man on lunar soil, the Moon had been photographed via unmanned missions and telescopes. An upcoming exhibition here traces how the lunar surface was captured starting as early as the 1850s. The photo-show “By the Light of the Silvery Moon: A Century of Lunar Photographs” opens at the National Gallery of Art here on July 14. It presents 50 works from the 19th century to the ‘space-age’ 1960s. On view would be a select survey of lunar photographs, including a late 1850s glass stereograph of the full Moon, a few 1865 albumen prints capturing the Moon’s different phases, and plates of different lunar areas from the late 1800s. It is notable that photography was introduced in 1839, and Moon, since the advent, had been a major field of exploration. This exhibition is curated by Diane Waggoner, curator of 19th-century photographs at the American gallery. “As NASA planned where to land Apollo 11, the unmanned American Ranger, Surveyor, and Lunar
2019 marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing on July 20, 1969.
Orbiter spacecraft journeyed to the Moon and transmitted images, creating otherworldly photographs not only of the lunar areas visible from the Earth, but also of the Moon’s far side,” the gallery said in a statement. From more recent times, displayed will be a selection of photographs from these missions. From Apollo 11, glass stereographs taken by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin show close-up views
of three-inch-square areas of the lunar surface. Also on view are several NASA photographs of the astronauts on the Moon, such as Armstrong planting the American flag and the iconic image of the astronaut’s footprint in the lunar soil, and press photographs taken both before and after the mission. 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing on July 20, 1969.
Non-OPEC countries Mallya decries witch-hunt after winning right to appeal extradition agree to extend supply cuts maintain production cuts for another nine months,” said Russian Minister of Energy Alexander Novak through an interpreter at the press conference after the meeting. The ministers also decided to keep the maximum level of the cuts (1.2 million barrels per day) intact in order to maintain stability and avoid the future buildup of inventories, he said. The energy alliance between OPEC and the so-called OPEC+ partners, including Russia, has been reducing oil output since 2017 in order to prevent prices from dropping sharply amid soaring production in the US, which has surpassed Russia and Saudi Arabia to become the world’s top producer. The OPEC also formally signed with the OPEC+ partners a new charter of cooperation, which Saudi
Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih called “one of history’s strongest producer partnerships, spanning the entire world, from east to west, and which has committed itself to promoting market stability on an ongoing basis.” Novak said the charter would provide a platform for the participants to hold regular meetings and to “react if necessary” to changing market conditions. “We do not shape our strategy in response to US actions; we shape our actions in response to what the market does,” he said. OPEC Secretary General Mohammed Barkindo compared the new accord to a marriage “for eternity”. “We are confident that with the course of time, probably by next time we meet, we may have some new members joining the charter,” he said.
Trump orders tanks for I-Day parade, critics call it ploy Was h i n g to n, J u l 3 (PTI): President Donald Trump has asked the Pentagon to marshal tanks and fighter jets to showcase America’s military might during the July 4th Independence Day parade, alarming many who feel that he is using the armed forces for his 2020 re-election bid. Unlike other countries, the annual celebration of the American Independence Day on July 4 is traditionally not marked by any military parade. Previous presidents have taken a low profile at independence commemorations. The last time tanks and troops rolled through Washington was in June 1991, when 8,000 soldiers marched in the so-called ‘National Victory Celebration’ marking the end of the first US invasion of Iraq. “Big 4th of July in D.C. ‘Salute to America.’ The Pentagon and our great military leaders are thrilled to be doing this & showing to the American people, among other things, the strongest and most advanced military anywhere in the world,” Trump said Tuesday. The White House and the Pentagon have been preparing this military parade for months now. Trump had expressed his desire to have a military parade on the occasion of Independence Day celebration soon after his inK Y M C

auguration in January 2017. According to the Department of Interior, this year’s annual Independence Day celebration on the National Mall, will feature music, flyovers, fireworks, and an address by President Trump. “Salute to America will honor each of the nation’s five service branches with music, military demonstrations, multiple flyovers including a flight demonstration by the Blue Angels, and much more,” it said. However, several former military leaders and those from the opposition Democratic Party were critical of the display of American military might in a parade on July 4. “This looks like it’s becoming much more of a Republican Party event — a political event about the president — than a national
celebration of the Fourth of July, and it’s unfortunate to have the military smack dab in the middle of that,” retired Army Lt Gen David Barno, who commanded US troops in Afghanistan under President George W Bush, told Politico. “The president is using the armed forces in a political ploy for his reelection campaign and I think it’s absolutely obscene,” retired Army Maj. Gen William Nash, a veteran of Vietnam, the Gulf War and peacekeeping operations in the Balkans told the media outlet. Congressman Tim Ryan from Democratic Party demanded answers regarding the costs associated with President Trump’s “Salute to America” event.

Bernhardt, and Secretary of Transportation Elaine L Chao, he expressed worry that the Trump administration is wasting scarce national park, infrastructure and defence funding on a military-style vanity project that some warn could cause damage to the National Mall and other infrastructure. “What is supposed to be a day to celebrate our country has turned into a Trump political rally. The President is showboating and wasting taxpayer funding just to inflate his ego. Our Armed Forces and military assets are not political props. President Trump’s insistence on using them to advance his own political agenda is an insult to the brave men and women who put politics aside in service to our country,” Ryan said. Democratic Party Congressman Don Beyer, who represents DC suburbs in Virginia including Arlington National Cemetery and the Pentagon, said that Trump’s attempts to make the annual Independence Day celebration in the National Capital Region about himself are appalling. “Even worse, the authoritarian-style trappings he demands, including tanks, will come at a great cost to taxpayers, and threaten significant harm to local roads and bridges,” he said.

In their ruling, Justices George Leggatt and Andrew Popplewell accepted that there was “substantial ground” to review if Chief Magistrate Emma Arbuthnot was wrong to conclude that the Indian government had established a prima facie case of fraud against Mallya when she ordered his extradition last December. The High Court judges noted that some of the lower court’s findings may have been on allegations that the defence had not had a “chance to answer”. The

Vienna, Jul 3 (IANS): Ten non-OPEC oil producing countries led by Russia have endorsed the decision by the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to extend production cuts until next March. They made the agreement during the 6th OPEC and non-OPEC Ministerial Meeting held here in the Austrian capital on Tuesday, Xinhua reported. In view of the underlying uncertainties and their potential impact on the global oil market, the meeting decided to extend the decision on “voluntary production adjustments” for an additional nine months to March 31, 2020, OPEC said in a press release. “After heavy deliberations, we have come to the unanimous decision that we have to continue with our cooperation and

The 63-year-old former Kingfisher Airlines boss, wanted in India to face alleged fraud and money laundering charges amounting to Rs 9,000 crores, won a reprieve when a two-judge bench at the Royal Courts of Justice in London on Tuesday concluded that “arguments can be reasonably made” on some aspects of the prima facie case put forward by the Indian government. “After all the mockery made of me, I would respectfully ask those interested parties to focus on the Divisional Bench Judgement in England, allowing me to challenge the core of the false prima facie case filed against me by the CBI.

opular Punjabi rapper Honey Singh has again courted a controversy for lewd lyrics in his new song “Makhna”. Taking a suo moto cognizance, Punjab State Wo m e n C o m m i s s i o n Chairperson Manisha Gulati said she has written to the Director General of Police to register a criminal case against the singer for using lyrics like “Mein hoon womaniser (I am a womaniser)”. “A legal action and an inquiry is required to be initiated by the police on the matter as the song readied by T-series chairman Bhushan Kumar and singers Honey Singh and Neha Kakkar uses vulgar words against women,” she said in a communique. She said the Commission has sought status report from the police officials by July 12 in this regard. Demanding a ban on the song, she said it is “indecent and have a degrading influence on society”.

here’s a bar in far Bombay — and for a mere $58 million (£46 million), now you can fly there in real style aboard the latest supersonic private jet. The G600, aerospace firm Gulfstream’s latest move to conquer the lucrative private jet market, has just been approved for service by the US Federal Aviation Authority. Flying at mach 0.9, the sumptuous craft can seat up to 19 passengers for journeys of 6,500 nautical miles — equivalent to London–Tokyo — before it needs to refuel. The G600 private jet is the latest offering from the Gulfstream Aerospace
Corporation, a popular brand among the world’s oil tycoons, Saudi officials and other members of the super-wealthy. The craft — which is 96 feet (29 metres) long and a wingspan almost as large — sports a mirrored bulkhead in its middle to reflect as much light as possible, while the vessel’s 14 28-inch-wide windows afford a panoramic view of the sky. The plane is even designed to minimise jet lag, ensuring passengers feel fresher on reaching their destination. On regular passenger airliners, the concentration of oxygen in the cabin decreases at higher altitudes,
contributing to jet lag. On the G600, however, the cabin pressure at the craft’s cruising altitude of 51,000 feet (15,500 metres) is equivalent to only 4,850 feet (1500 metres) and completely fresh air is cycled into the cabin every two minutes, minimising passenger tiredness. ‘The cabin is so quiet passengers can converse at normal voice levels even while in flight at near the speed of sound,’ Gulfstream wrote on their website. ‘The G600 interior is engineered to provide a relaxing journey that leaves travellers refreshed on arrival.’ Purchasers can pick between bamboo flooring or
luxurious hand-woven carpets underfoot in the cabin, various cabin decor choices, and can opt to add granite flooring to their vessel’s bathrooms and galley. Furthermore, owners can select whether they would prefer the galley to be located nearer the front or the rear of the craft, as well as choose to add an additional shower to the jet’s facilities. The craft is one of the first civilian aircraft whose cockpit sport ten touchscreens to display information to the crew, along with so-called ‘active sidestick technology’ —controls that give the pilot and co-pilot tactile feedback on the craft’s flight. It is rumoured that General Dynamics is now developing a bigger and faster private aircraft to compete with Bombardier’s new offerings. ‘Gulfstream will make an announcement this year to remove any uncertainty that they’re going to go back to the top position,’ aviation data service JetNet consultant Rolland Vincent told Bloomberg News.

talks to direct The Flash movie
T director Andy Muschietti is in talks to direct the long-awaited fulllength movie version of The Flash. A new report by The Hollywood Reporter suggests that Muschietti, who is also set to direct the forthcoming IT: Chapter Two, will work alongside screenwriter Christina Hodson, wh0 wrote Bumblebee and Suicide Squad spinoff Birds of Prey. Ezra Miller is also still set to be involved. Slated to play lead character The Fastest Man Alive, the star even
presented his own script to Warner Bros for the adaptation. It was rejected back in May, but he looks set to remain in the lead role regardless. The news of the reshuffle for the film comes after John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, who wrote initial versions of the script, were moved on, and another director needed to be found. It’s been revealed that no deals have been offered yet for Andy Muschietti or Christina Hodson to come on board for The Flash, but
official offers are expected to be given soon. Ezra Miller has played the character of The Flash since 2016’s Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, appearing as The Fastest Man Alive in 2017’s Justice League too. It’s said that Ezra favoured a darker approach to the script, leading him to write his own version, while previous directors Daley and Goldstein, who have previously written SpiderMan: Homecoming and Game Night, wanted it to be a lighter version.

Brazil beat Argentina; enter Copa America final Tunisia, Bafana complete
Gabriel Jesus was in the right place at the right time to score the opener.
BELO HORIZONTE, Jul 3 (Agencies): Brazil advanced to the Copa America final with a 2-0 win over old rivals Argentina on Tuesday in a pulsating and, at times, badtempered match decided by a goal in each half from Gabriel Jesus and Roberto Firmino. According to Reuters, both sides tried to impose
themselves physically early on but it was Jesus who gave Brazil the lead after 19 minutes when Firmino sent in a low cross for the unmarked striker to side-foot home from close range. The two combined again on the counterattack after 71 minutes to make it 2-0 after great work from Jesus left Firmino with the simplest of tap-ins.
Brazil, who have lost twice in 42 games under coach Tite, will face either Peru or Chile in Sunday’s final at the Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro and captain Dani Alves said their goal was within reach. “There is one more step to go before we fulfil our objective,” he added. “The standard here is
very high there are no easy teams. You have to work and fight for what you want and we worked for this.” Argentina have not beaten Brazil in a major competitive fixture dating back to 2005 and that run rarely looked like ending in front of 52,000 fans at the Mineirao stadium in Belo Horizonte. Sergio Aguero hit the bar with a header in the first half and Lionel Messi struck the post 11 minutes into the second period but the visitors had little luck in front of goal and were never on top for any length of time. While the tour nament has been plagued by lengthy stoppages for the video assistant referee (VAR), Tuesday’s officials preferred to let the game run, though Argentina were incensed VAR did not come into play when Arthur felled one of their players at a corner. Messi, who has still not won a major title with
Argentina, was more influential than in his first few matches here but was still a pale shadow of the player who has won everything with his club side. “We had chances, the ball hit the woodwork, it flashed across the six-yard box, there were penalties that weren’t given,” said Messi, who like coach Lionel Scaloni complained about the refereeing. “Today it just didn’t happen.” Argentina bow out after scoring just five goals in five games and are still looking for their first major title since lifting the Copa America in 1993. “We knew that it would be difficult because of the players they have,” Brazil’s Casemiro said. “It’s about details. We knew it would be scrappy and that there would be wind-ups and time wasting. But we have to congratulate our strikers who did a great job. When they got chances, they scored.”

CAIRO, Jul 3 (Agencies): Tunisia and South Africa filled the final two places in the Africa Cup of Nations last-16 draw Tuesday after a tense finish to the group stage in Egypt. Already-qualified Mali defeated Angola 1-0 in Ismailia through an Amadou Haidara thunderbolt to win Group E and eliminated the losers from the competition.
Tunisia, ranked second in Africa behind Senegal, could only draw 0-0 with debutants Mauritania in Suez but the point secured second place behind Mali. Mali won the group with seven points followed by Tunisia with three and Angola and Mauritania with two each. Angola losing meant South Africa sneaked into the knockout phase, joining Guinea, the
Democratic Republic of Congo and Benin as the best four third-place teams. Mali will face the Ivory Coast in the round of 16 while Tunisia meet Ghana, who are chasing a seventh consecutive top-four finish in the Cup of Nations. Highlight of the round is the clash of defending champions Cameroon and Nigeria, who have won the competition eight times between them. Hosts Egypt, Algeria and Morocco, the three countries who finished first in groups with perfect three-win records, all face opponents who came third. Mohamed Salah-inspired Egypt meet South Africa in a fixture sure to fill the 75,000-capacity Cairo International Stadium this Saturday. Morocco face Benin in Cairo Friday in the first of the eight last-16 fixtures and Algeria tackle Guinea Sunday, also in the Egyptian capital.

AIFF to seek AFC nod for running I-League, ISL simultaneously
New Delhi, Jul 3 (IANS): The All India Football Federation (AIFF) will request Asian Football Confederation (AFC) to allow the I-League and Indian Super League (ISL) to continue running simultaneously for the next three years, its President Praful Patel said here. Patel met the representatives of I-League clubs to talk about the roadmap of Indian football after reports of AIFF’s move to hand ISL the top tier status in Indian football surfaced. “Tomorrow (in the future), we don’t want to pack up the I-League. It should continue. But ultimately there should be a roadmap of Indian football. Two leagues cannot go on permanently. The AFC will also not allow it forever. It is just a solution for the time being,” Patel said after the meeting at a plush hotel here, looking to buy more time and come to a amicable solution. “I feel a reasonable two to three years window

Our commercial partners have to be consulted. At the end of the day, there are costs involved,” he added. As per a statement which was released by the unified I-League clubs, the AIFF is likely to make the ISL the top football league, superseding the I-League, from the 2019-20 season, and the clubs are already toying with the idea of taking legal steps. The clubs had met last week and announced that they would approach the “appropriate courts” when such a decision is announced.

now demolished National Stadium that hosted the 1964 Olympics, will be completed almost three years after a delayed start in December 2016 following a change in the original design, proposed by late architect Zaha Hadid, which was rejected owing due to its excessive cost. The current project has a budget of about 150 billion yen (about 1.4 billion dollars). One of the challenges in planning the complex has been the high temperatures to which spectators and athletes will be subjected, a situation that is being addressed with the installation of fans and a water mist system.

Eng beat NZ; seals semi-finals berth John GHSS, Dainty Buds in last 16 Kohima District Inter-School Football Tournament
England’s cricketers celebrate the dismissal of Martin Guptill on Wednesday. (AP/PTI)
Chester-le-Street, Jul 3 (PTI): England entered the World Cup semifinals for the first time since the 1992 edition, beating an erring New Zealand by 119 runs to fuel their “dream” of winning a maiden title. Jonny Bairstow, who smashed 106 off 99 balls to become the first Englishman to score back-to-back hundreds in a World Cup, was mainly responsible for taking the hosts to 305 for eight on a pitch that got slower as the game progressed. New Zealand did well to limit England to a little over 300, considering the start provided by Bairstow
and Jason Roy (60 off 61) who shared an entertaining 123-run stand after Eoin Morgan opted to bat. However, moments of brilliance from England and some ordinary cricket from the Black Caps led to their downfall as they folded up for 186 in 45 overs. New Zealand, who lost their last three leagues games to end with 11 points from nine games, remained in hunt to clinch the fourth and final semifinal spot. They have a much better net run rate than Pakistan who have nine points and must beat Bangladesh by a big margin in their final league match to have
any hopes of pipping New Zealand for the remaining semifinal berth. England, on the contrary, have got their act together following the defeats against Sri Lanka and Australia. The pre-tournament favourites again look like the team to beat having gotten the better of India and New Zealand. If things stand on the points table as they are, second-placed India will meet third-placed England in the semifinals. New Zealand, who lost to England for the first time in a World Cup since the 1983 edition, were virtually out of the game after losing their top four for 69 runs.
Both their key players, captain Kane Williamson (27) and Ross Taylor (28), were run out to leave their team in deep trouble. Williamson, who was backing up too far, was rather unlucky as Mark Wood found a deft touch on his follow through. In the following over, Taylor went for a risky second run which was avoidable at that juncture of the game. The fatal run-outs came after New Zealand lost their openers, Martin Guptill and Henry Nicholls, early in the chase to leave them at 37 for two in 10 overs. Earlier, Bairstow, who had smashed 111 against India in England’s previous contest, raced to his ninth ODI hundred, to lay a perfect platform in a virtual
quarterfinal. Openers Jason Roy (60 off 61) and Bairstow were in punishing mood, sharing a century stand for the second game in a row. Bairstow looked in ominous touch again, hitting as many 15 fours and a six in his enthralling knock. With England cruising at 194 for one in the 31st over, it seemed the home team would bat New Zealand out of the game. But New Zealand fought their way back into the game on the back of some tight bowling. BRIEF SCORES: England 305/8 in 50 overs (Jonny Bairstow 106, Jason Roy 60; Jimmy Neesham 2/41) vs New Zealand 186 all out in 45 overs (Tom Latham 57, Mark Wood (3/34)

Participants after the belt grading test.
DIMAPUR, JUL 3 (NPN): Nagaland Taekwon-Do Federation (NTF), an affiliate of the TaekwonDo Association of India (TAI) and the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF), organized a threeday national seminar and black belt grading from June 27 to 29 in Dimapur. The seminar and grading
was conducted by master Narender Singh Rawat (7th degree black belt, International Master, umpire and Examiner) of New Delhi. A l t o g e t h e r, t e n Taekwon-Do practitioners were awarded first degree black belts. They included Kaisü Kayina, Athisü Kayina, Aito K. Sumi, Mayanger Aier, Ku-
puto H.Assumi, Amongba Jamir, Theca Aiden Kevichusa, Dr. Krosakhol Pucho, Kamal Dhar, and Kulungshi Newmai Meanwhile, with the addition of the new black belts, there are currently 114 ITF black belt holders in Nagaland, out of which three are 4th degree black belt holders.
New Delhi, Jul 3 (PTI): It is the worst kept secret in Indian cricket right now but India’s last match in the ongoing World Cup, in all likelihood, will also be Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s last game in India colours. If India qualify for the finals and go on to win the World Cup on 14 July at the Lord’s, it would be ideal setting for a fitting farewell to one of the legends of Indian cricket. “You never know with MS Dhoni. But it is unlikely that he will continue to play for India after this World Cup. But since his decisions to quit captaincy from the three formats have been taken so suddenly, it is very difficult to predict at the moment,” a senior BCCI official told PTI.
New Delhi, Jul 3 (PTI): Snubbed twice over for the ongoing World Cup, Indian middle-order batsman Ambati Rayudu Wednesday retired from all forms of cricket without specifying his reasons for calling it quits. The 33-year-old Andhra Pradesh batsman was in India’s official standbys list for the big event in the UK but was ignored despite the injury-forced ouster of all-rounder Vijay Shankar. Opener Mayank Agrawal was brought in on the team management’s insistence and it is learnt, Rayudu was left quite disappointed by the turn of events. “...I have come to decision to step away from the sport and retire from all forms and levels of the
Ambati Rayudu (PTI)
game. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the BCCI and all the state associations that I have represented which include Hyderabad, Baroda, Andhra and Vidharbha,” Rayudu said in his mail to the BCCI, which is with PTI. “It has been a honour and privilege to have represented our country,”
he added. Rayudu played 55 ODIs for India, scoring 1694 runs at an average of 47.05. The player, who could never break into the Test team, was in the spotlight before the World Cup. Declared the preferred No.4 batsman by captain Virat Kohli not many months ago, Rayudu was
ignored for Shankar in India’s final squad for the big event. Chairman of selectors MSK Prasad had justified the move by saying that Shankar had “three-dimensional skills”. Shankar couldn’t make much of an impact and was eventually forced out by a toe injury. Rayudu had taken a dig at Prasad’s statement with a cheeky social media post. “Just Ordered a new set of 3d glasses to watch the world cup,” he had tweeted at the time. He was later put in the standbys list but wasn’t called. “I would like to thank the captains I have played under, MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma and especially Virat kohli who always had shown great belief in me throughout my career with the Indian team”.
US beat Eng to enter Women’s WC final
United States players rush to celebrate with Alyssa Naeher after she got down low to save Steph Houghton’s penalty.
LYON, Jul 3 (AFP): Alex Morgan scored what proved to be the winner but hailed goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher after her late penalty save from Steph Houghton allowed holders the United States to claim a dramatic 2-1 victory over England in their women’s World Cup semi-final on Tuesday. On her 30th birthday, USA co-captain Morgan headed home her sixth goal of the World Cup just after the half-hour mark in this last-four showdown to put her team back in front after Ellen White had cancelled out Christen Press’s early opener. But after an open first 45 minutes, the second half was dominated by more VAR controversy, with England having another
White goal disallowed for the tightest of offside calls following a review by the Brazilian referee. Phil Neville’s team later benefited from Edina Alves Batista’s decision to award them a spot-kick when Becky Sauerbrunn made the slightest of contact with White in the box, yet Houghton’s 84th-minute kick was stopped by Naeher diving low to her right. England finished with 10 players after Millie Bright was sent off for a second yellow card late on, and the USA held out to reach the final, despite being without the injured Megan Rapinoe. They will now go on to face Sweden or the Netherlands in Sunday’s final, as they aim to win the trophy
for the fourth time in eight editions. It is their third straight final, and they will hope to have Rapinoe back in time. It is another bitterly disappointing way for England to lose, as they go out of a third consecutive major tournament in the semi-finals. Their players cut dejected figures on the pitch at full-time. Perhaps Nikita Parris should have been given the chance to make up for her penalty misses against Argentina and Norway earlier in the competition? Ellis’s side will not be too worried about that, as fortune favoured them. That England could not take advantage of Rapinoe’s absence said much about the strength in depth available to the
USA, with the excellent Press taking her place. Unperturbed by the change, the Americans came flying out of the blocks like they have in every match at this tournament. They had scored no later than the 12th minute in all of their previous five matches, and here they required only 10 minutes to take the lead, Tobin Heath finding Kelley O’Hara whose cross from the right was headed in by Press at the far post. Replacing the injured Karen Bardsley in goal, Carly Telford could do nothing to stop it, and England were stunned. However, they were back level on 19 minutes as Beth Mead’s pinpoint delivery picked out White and she steered the ball in off the frame of the goal for her sixth of the tournament. Yet it was the holders who went back in front just after the half-hour, Morgan stealing in front of Demi Stokes and heading home Lindsey Horan’s delivery. She celebrated by miming sipping on a cup of tea. As the USA tried to soak up pressure in the second half, England thought they were level in the 68th minute when Jill Scott’s flick picked out White to score, but VAR denied them the equaliser and her a seventh goal of the tournament. Yet even when VAR came to their rescue, England failed to capitalise, and Bright’s late sending-off for a second yellow card as she scythed down Morgan summed up their frustration. They must now try to lift themselves for the third-place play-off on Saturday.
