3 rescued from getting lynched Haflong, Jul 6 (PTI): Army and police personnel have rescued three ‘sadhus’ from getting lynched by a mob, which suspected them to be child-lifters, at Mahur Railway Station in Dima Hasao district of Assam, officials said Friday. District officials said Army men posted at an adjacent camp and police officers came to the rescue of three persons yesterday after hundreds of people had gathered to attack them in the wake of rumours of child-lifting. The belongings of the ‘sadhus’ were thrown open by the mob, videographed and shared on social media, further fuelling the hearsays, the officials said. Following the incident, the district administration, under the chairmanship of Deputy Commissioner Amitabh Rajkhowa and Superintendent of Police Prasanta Saikia, called for an emergency meeting yesterday. Representatives of different communities who attended the meeting, appealed to the public, especially the people of Dima Hasao, to act responsibly and not be swayed away by rumours on social media. They also urged the people to not take law into their own hands, and instead, report to the authorities about any suspicious movement of any person. In the last few weeks, there have been several attempts by the district administration to make people aware about news circulating on social media without any base or authenticity, the officials said.

GoI talks tough on Naga demands Gov pitches for rainwater harvesting
NEW DELHI, JUL 6 (AGENCIES): Five of the six Naga groups, currently in peace talks with the Union government, have said that the Centre has disapproved of the idea of the unification of Naga dominated areas of the North East along with Nagaland to create a “greater Nagaland”. This was reported by The Week a news magazine in its July 6 issue. The report also disclosed that the Centre had reportedly told the groups that it would not grant any financial autonomy to the state. According to The Week, GPRN/NSCN leader Alezo Venuh, emissary to the collective leadership, said “Apart from the sovereignty issue, the Indian government has also refused to include Naga dominated areas to create a special Naga state.” Venuh is the leader of the GPRN/NSCN, which along with other members of the working group had on November 17, 2017, joined the peace talks with the Union government. The conglomerate of five organisations, however, did not join the talks with NSCN (I-M), the other biggest
armed group in the North East, which has been in talks with the Centre for the last 22 years, the report said, adding that five groups are running parallel talks with interlocutor R.N. Ravi. “In fact one of the conditions in the peace treaty has been that we would not disclose the details of the talks. So our hands are tied,” he said. According to The Week one of the reasons for the central government not accepting a special Naga state, carving out all Naga dominated areas in North East, would be possible unrest in Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh. In Manipur, the BJP runs a coalition government with Naga People’s Front (NPF). In Arunachal Pradesh, a dissection would have international implications as the Chinese continue to project it as a “disputed” territory. The Week said that one of the major issues that has become a road block for the negotiations is the problem of extortion by the Naga groups, an issue which had also been raised recently in the open by a prominent conglomeration of tribes.
The Centre has taken a serious view of a myriad of independent reports from Nagaland and other North Eastern states, which indicate that the Naga armed groups have made extortion a major activity. Different civil societies are making efforts to end the extortion activities by bringing all such groups together such as under the slogan of ‘One Government. One Tax.” The Week reported that, Isak Sumi, deputy kilonser of the NSCN (K), had welcomed the “effort of the Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) and others to bring a single tax regime. But we will not enter into any talk by abandoning our demand of sovereignty for Naga people.” Reverend Wati Aier, convener of FNR, said, “Our attempt to bring all such groups under one umbrella does not mean that we would like to help government of India in peace talks. Our effort has got nothing to do with the peace talks done by government of India with a few groups.” The Week also maintained that activists in Nagaland involved in efforts
NSCN (K) invited to Panglong DIMAPUR, JUL 6 (NPN): Myanmar government has invited NSCN (K) as observer to the third session of the 21st Century Panglong conference, scheduled to be held at Nay Pyi Taw from July 11-16, 2018. According to a Myanmar Times report, the government has also invited all members of the Federal Political Negotiation and Consultative Committee (FPNCC), also known as Northern Alliance, to attend the conference. The decision comes after the tripartite Union Peace Dialogue Joint Committee’s first day of meetings in Nay Pyi Taw to prepare for the conference next week. The joint committee includes representatives of government, the military, signatory groups to the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA) and political parties. Although the NSCN (K) signed a state-level ceasefire accord with the Myanmar government in April 2012, it is not a signatory to the NCA. Besides NSCN (K), the Karenni National Progressive Party (KNPP) has also been invited as observer. Both NSCN (K) and KNPP are not members of FPNCC. The KNPP has
confirmed that it will attend the conference. No members of the FPNCC have signed the NCA. At the conference next week, the government, military, political parties, and signatory groups will discuss political, economic, social, security, land and environmental issues. Civil society groups will also join the conference as participants. The Peace Commission has invited armed ethnic groups that have not signed the National Ceasefire Agreement to attend, and most of them have accepted. “The commission has invited all non-signatories of the NCA. They can participate in the meetings of the armed ethnic groups at the conference,” said U Tin Myo Win, chairperson of the commission. The conference will be divided into several groups to discuss different topics. The non-signatories will not be allowed to participate in other groups apart from their own at the conference. The commission said that security issues would not be discussed at the conference. The invitation letters were sent to the leaders of each armed ethnic group.
46 NDRF rescue teams stationed in flood-prone areas of 14 states: MHA NEW DELHI, JUL 6 (AGENCIES): The Union Home Ministry on Friday said 46 fully equipped rescue teams of the NDRF have been stationed in flood-prone areas in 14 states as proactive measures, reports News Nation. “The National Disaster Response Force teams, comprising 1,384 personnel, have been deployed in vulnerable areas in Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Maharashtra, Delhi, Punjab, Sikkim, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh, Uttrakhand and West Bengal,” a home ministry spokesperson said. The spokesperson said the teams will assist state administrations in rescue and relief work, adding a 24X7 NDRF control room in the national capital is closely monitoring the situation and is in touch with other agencies for additional deployment. “The NDRF had rescued 20 stranded people, including five pilgrims undertaking the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, in Uttarakhand’s Pithoragarh district,” the spokesperson said.
Over 50% smartphones not protected New Delhi, Jul 6 (IANS): Over 50 per cent of smartphone users do not use passwords or antitheft solutions, leaving their devices and the increasing amount of precious data on them accessible to anyone, says a survey. Many people today rely on their mobile devices to access the Internet and carry out online activities, such as online banking, emails and social media activities, all of which involves a huge quantity of sensitive data. The survey by Russiabased cybersecurity company Kaspersky Lab showed that less than 48 per cent of people password-protect their mobile devices and just 14 per cent of people encrypt their files and folders to avoid unauthorized access. “We all love our connected devices because they give us access to vital information, from anywhere at
any time. They are valuable items that criminals naturally want to get their hands on, and their job is made easier by the fact that every other pickpocketed phone is not password protected,” said Dmitry Aleshin, VP for Product Marketing, Kaspersky Lab. Further, the survey showed that less than half (41 per cent) of people make backups of their data and only 22 per cent use antitheft features on their mobile devices. If these devices fall into the wrong hands, all of this data from personal
to bring unity among all groups have not addressed the issue of extortion. The activists maintained that the forcible collections are not extortion but a means needed to fund the movements. On June 3, 2018, the NNPGs Working Committee (WC) media cell decided to suspend all negotiations with the Government of India in protest against the raid carried out at the residence of its co-convener and general secretary of NNC (Parent Body), V Nagi on June 2, 2018. However, acknowledging the appeal of the apex tribal bodies and GBs of Nagaland, the Working Committee (WC) of the NNPGs decided to resume the negotiation process with the Government of India on June 10. It may be mentioned that in an unprecedented move, six ‘Naga National Political Groups’ (NNPGs)- -GPRN/NSCN, FGN, NNC (parent body), NPGN/NNC (NA), NSCN (R) and NNC/GDRN (NA) in December 2016 had unanimously decided to join hands “in the interest of the Naga people”.
accounts, including photos, messages and even financial details could become accessible to someone else, the study said. “There are a few really simple things that everyone can do to secure their devices and the data they hold. By applying password protection and using a dedicated security solution, including anti-theft protection, you can protect your personal information, photos and online accounts from both loss and malicious usage,” Aleshin added.

KOHIMA, JUL 6 (NPN): Governor of Nagaland, PB Acharya, Friday said rainwater harvesting was the need of the hour and called for switching to an eco friendly rainwater harvesting system, which is neither complicated nor time consuming and would result in a wide range of benefits for home or business. The gover nor was speaking at an outreach programme for promoting rainwater harvesting launched under his initiative at Raj Bhavan here on Friday. Acharya said two thirds of the world was filled with water, but humans had deteriorated the environment
and was causing water scarcity. He said Nagaland was richly blessed with plenty of water and it would be a good thing if households adopted a method of harvesting rainwater to use during the dry seasons. The governor opined that since most parts of the state receive rainfall for six months or more, rainwater harvesting would be beneficial for the people. He encouraged citizens to set up water tanks and harvest the rain water to address the water scarcity problem in the State. “Water is life, save water for sustenance of the future,” Acharya said. In his brief address, principal secretary, Piyush Goyal, said Nagaland was among the places that re-
ceived the highest rainfall but faced acute shortage of water during the winter seasons. He stated that it was high time the people woke up and faced reality and took measures to preserve water by building water conservation and storage structures to ensure a source of water during the dry seasons. He added that this was the first step to motivate people to consider water conservation measures of their own. At the programme, 20 beneficiaries were selected via a lucky draw for distribution of 3000 litre water tanks at 50% subsidy. Raj Bhavan stated that beneficiaries could deposit the cost of the tank by July 15 so that the materials could be delivered to their respective homes. Five additional names were also picked up and kept on the wait list. Raj Bhavan has arranged water storage tanks of 3000 ltrs capacity. The governor’s secretariat will contact the selected beneficiaries. The last date for collecting the water storage tanks will be July 25, 2018. If any beneficiary fails to claim the tanks within the stipulated period, the benefit would automatically shift to the next beneficiary in the wait list.
Fish imports banned in Wokha district
DIMAPUR, JUL 6 (NPN): The ongoing drive against formalin-treated fish has further intensified with Wokha district administration now prohibiting storage with immediate effect, distribution or sale of fresh fish products, including Crustaceans, treated with formalin or other forms of preservatives for three months or till corrective measures are taken.

Wokha deputy commissioner (DC) Dr Manazir Jeelani Samoon warned that failure to comply with provision of the Food Safety & Standards Act, 2006 and the notification would attract penalties up to Rs 10 lakh with imprisonment under Section 59 of the Food Safety & Standards Act.

CJI is ‘master of roster’: SC NEW DELHI, JUL 6 (PTI): The chief justice of India is the “master of the roster” and there is no dispute that he has the “ultimate authority” and “prerogative” to allocate cases, the Supreme Court asserted today, in a third such reiteration by the apex court in eight months on the contentious issue. A bench of justices A K Sikri and Ashok Bhushan in their separate but concurring verdicts noted that being the senior-most judge, the CJI is empowered to exercise ‘leadership” on the court and in this role, he is expected to be the “spokesperson and representative” of the judiciary. Referring to several earlier verdicts of the apex court, Justice Sikri said the CJI has the authority and responsibility for administration of the court and this gives him the “ultimate authority for determining the distribution of judicial work load”.

DIMAPUR, JUL 6 (NPN): Immanuel College Dimapur observed its 25th annual social & cultural day under the theme, “Enriching Amalgamation of Achievements” at the college campus in Lengrijan on Friday. Speaking during the program as the special guest, commissioner of police Dimapur, Limasunep Jamir borrowed a line from the book of Leviticus saying that the celebration of jubilee was a covenant between God and the people, which was a time to forgive one another. He reminded the students that it was the best time of their lives for they were still in the growing stage -- a stage with open and receptive minds and willing to accept new things. Jamir was impressed on hearing the ambitions of the students, which he termed as ‘diverse’, unlike in his own time when the focus was only on government jobs. He asserted that
today, academicians, educationist, and psychologists talk about multiple intelligence rather than IQ, which, he said, was a traditional mode to appraise students. He opined that a degree was only a gate way does not guarantee success or achievement in life. He encouraged the students to always leave a legacy of sincerity, uprightness and honesty for their children and grandchildren. Jamir also spent some time discussing dishonourable and honourable achievements, the latter of which he said could be achieved with intellectual and moral virtue. Immanuel College governing body chairman, Dr. Loso Chalai, in his exhortation speech, urged the students to prove their capabilities by producing better results in the days to come. According to him, there are many evil things and causes for frustration in today’s society, unlike in the ancestral times, when

(NP) the people were known for their honesty, truthfulness, and boldness. Taking the example of the special guest, he said that it was a motivation and challenge for students to emulate him and work hard like him to become successful. He
further called upon the students to change their attitudes by working hard and suffer first, and celebrate later, rather than enjoying today and suffering tomorrow. Benthungo Kikon (BA I) and Miechelle Murry (Class 11 Arts) were
adjudged as Mr. And Miss Freshers respectively. Hito S. Mech (BA I), Meheli Magh (BA I), Kamugha Chishi (Class 11 Arts) and Anung Nokdir (BA I) were adjudged as Mr. Personality, Miss Congeniality, Mr. Talent and Miss Talent respectively.

The minister lamented that with the rising number of educated unemployed every year, intellectuals and important stakeholders in the society were involved in a blame game instead of staking their rightful claims.

Addressing the students specifically, he told them to leave their studies if they were attending college merely to spend their parents’ money. He cautioned
them that if they do not aspire with all their heart and efforts, they would be relegated to mere degree and certificate holders. It is not about the fanciful uniform, loud make-up and the obsession with selfies on facebook and WhatsApp, he added, driving home the message that students must fulfil the aspiration of their parents and society. Earlier in the day, principal, Dr. S. K Chhabra gave a brief report on how the college had grown and evolved ever since its inception in 2007.

Shillong, Jul 6 (PTI): Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma Friday said the four-month-old Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA) government is “stable” and rubbished media reports of coalition partner People’s Democratic Front (PDF) pulling out of the alliance. The MDA comprises the National People’s Party (NPP) with 19 MLAs, the United Democratic Party (UDP) with 7 MLAs, the PDF with 4 MLAs, the Hill State People’s Democratic Party (HSPDP) and the BJP with 2 MLAs each, the NCP with 1 MLA and two Independents MLAs in the House of 60. “The government is stable. I had a talk with them (PDF MLAs) and there is no question of their withdrawal,” the chief minister said on the sideline of a programme here. He said all MDA partners were “committed” to completing the five-year term.
Conrad K Sangma
Sangma’s statement came in the wake of media reports of PDF chief P N Syiem, who is also the chief executive member of the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC), reportedly threatening to pull out of the MDA. The chief minister said the PDF might have some issues within the party with regard to the coalition politics in the KHADC. He, however, added that the issues of the district council might not necessarily affect the alliance
MBDPF refutes media reports of ‘discontentment’
Aizawl, Jul 6 (Agencies): Reacting to media reports that the Mizoram Bru Displaced People’s Forum (MBDPF) was not happy with the one-time financial assistance of Rs 4 lakh for the repatriated Bru families, A Sawibunga, chairman of the forum said it was an ‘utter lie’, reports Northeast Now. “We had just signed an agreement with the Union Home Ministry taking Tripura and Mizoram Chief Ministers as witnesses where we agreed on the proposal by the ministry. The Forum has not talked to any media regarding any issue of discontentment stating that all our demands are not met. The important thing is that the Bru people are quite contented with the agreement,” A Sawibunga said. According to the agreement, Bru refugee families, who would be repatriated to Mizoram from Tripura, would be given one-time financial assistance of Rs 4 lakh, a house to each fam-
ily and free rations for two years. Besides, they would also be provided a monthly assistance of Rs 5,000. Under the Bru Migrants Repatriation Agreement, displaced people, who are currently living in temporary camps in Tripura, would be repatriated to Mizoram before September 30, 2018. “The Bru refugees in the camps are excited and happy with the agreement. However, out of the 32,876 people living in the camps, there may be some who feel otherwise,” Sawibunga added saying that majority of the displaced Brus were quite contented. The cost of the entire repatriation exercise will be Rs 435 crore till 2020-21. Each resettled family would be given a cash assistance of Rs 5,000 per month along with free rations for two years. The Bru refugee families would receive house building assistance of Rs 1.5 lakh to be disbursed in three instalments as per the agreement.
government, and cited the example of how the coalition partner UDP is supporting the Congress in the Jaintia Hills Autonomous District Council. PDF MLA and Meghalaya Sports Minister Banteidor Lyngdoh told PTI, “We are moving ahead with the policies and programmes of the government and we are not withdrawing support.” He said it was childish on the part of Syiem to make such alleged statements without first consulting the MLAs concerned. Currently, the strength of the Meghalaya Assembly stands at 58 after Congress MLA Martin M Danggo and NPP MLA Agatha K Sangma resigned. Danggo resigned as he will join the ruling NPP while Agatha resigned to make way for Conrad Sangma to get elected to the state Assembly. Conrad Sangma is currently the Lok Sabha MP from Tura.

Agartala-Deoghar Express flagged off
Agartala, Jul 6 (PTI): Union Minister Rajen Gohain and Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb today jointly flagged off the Agartala-Deoghar Express to ease the journey of devotees visit the pilgrim town of Deoghar. Gohain, Union Minister of State for Railways, said in his address that the train would help devotees of Anukulchandra visit their Guru’s ashram at Deoghar, in Jharkhand, also famous for Baidyanath temple. He said the train would be proposed to be named the ‘Satsang Express’ after ‘Satsang’, the institution founded by Anukulchandra and the name of its head quarters in Deoghar. Agartala-Deoghar Express would cover 1,462 km distance in 39 hours. Gohain said railway services in the Northeast saw several developments since the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance government came to power at
the Centre. Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb thanked Railway Minister Piyush Goyal and Gohain for the new train. “The new train has been flagged off on the birthday of Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee. Nearly 3000 devotees of Thakur Anukulchandra start for Deoghar today on the train’s debut journey. People have been waiting for this service for years. The central government has fulfilled a long cherished dream of Tripura,” Deb said. Introduction of the train was the pre-poll promise of the BJP in Tripura which has around 17 lakh followers of Anukulchandra, a senior Satsang leader said. Earlier, these followers would have to reach Deoghar via Guwahati or Kolkata, he said. Gohain said the Centre was working to fulfill needs of the people across the country without any “mass movement”. His comments came shortly after CPI(M)’s Lok
Sabha MP Shankar Prasad Dutta and Rajya Sabha MP Jharna Das Baidya told in their addresses that railway services came to Tripura after decades of ‘sacrifice’ and ‘mass movement’. Gohain said Tripura would emerge as the “leader of the NE” with the completion of two railway projects - Agartala-Akhaura in Bangladesh, and extension of rail track up to Sabroom in South Tripura district. The 15.054 km long Agartala-Akhaura rail project in West Tripura district is expected to connect North-East Railways with Bangladesh Railways network by 2020. The union minister also said rail services might be connected with Chittagong port in Bangladesh through Sabroom and, following it, huge business potential would open up in the state. “Tripura will become the best state in Northeast India, because there would be huge business potential in the state,” Gohain said.

Kejriwal meets Delhi L-G, says Centre not obeying SC order
New Delhi, Jul 6 (AGENCIES): The tussle between Delhi lieutenant governor Anil Baijal and the Aam Aadmi Party government seems to have taken a new turn on Friday as chief minister Arvind Kejriwal indicated that some differences — including the jurisdiction over the services department — are yet to be ironed out. Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia met Baijal seeking his cooperation in Delhi’s development and good governance on Friday, two days after the Supreme Court ruled that the central representative was bound by the constitution to listen to the national capital’s democratically elected government. “Met L-G today, Anil Baijal refused to agree that services department has come under the elected government in Delhi. He said that the 2015 MHA order on services dept has not been quashed by the Supreme Court,” he told mediapersons. In a letter to Kejriwal, Baijal pointed to a 2015 ministry of home affairs (MHA) notification, issuing “presidential directions” under Article 239 and 239AA of the Constitu-
Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal with his deputy Manish Sisodia during a press conference in Delhi. tion. It said ‘services’ falls outside the purview of the Legislative Assembly of the NCT of Delhi and consequently the government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi will have no executive powers in relation to ‘services’. “The said notification was also upheld by the high court of Delhi in its judgement on August 4, 2016,” he said. “In the wake of the judgement of the learned Constitutional Bench of Supreme Court, the MHA has advised that as per concluding paras of judgement, the nine appeals including the one relating to ‘Services’ shall be taken up by the learned regular bench and the MHA notification dated 21.05.2015 continue to be valid,” the
letter said. Kejriwal said that this is the first time in India’s history that the central government had openly refused to obey the apex court’s order. The chief minister wondered why the Centre wanted to hold on to the department when several responsibilities in the national capital still remained unfulfilled. “You have services but you did not fill the post of education director. How can we bring reforms in education if there are so many vacancies? Had services been with us, we would have appointed a new official 15 days ahead to ensure efficiency,” he said. Baijal, however, said that he had assured Kejriwal that he would support
Maharashtra Assembly adjourned due to power outage
Celebrations in Majnu-ka-tilla as Dalai turns 83
Nagpur, Jul 6 (PTI): The Maharashtra Legislative Assembly was adjourned for an hour as electricity supply had to be turned off after the switching centre that provides power to Vidhan Bhavan premises was flooded following rains in the city. The city witnessed heavy rains from last night, which resulted in water logging at several places. Since the switching centre which supplies power to Vidhan Bhavan was flooded, the power supply had to be shut down for safety purposes. As soon as the House assembled for the day at 10 am, Speaker Haribhau Bagde announced that power had to be turned off due to closure of the switching centre. It was adjourned till 11 am. Shiv Sena, an ally of the ruling BJP, was quick to criticise the government. “Had this happened in Mumbai, there would have been a barrage of criticism against the Sena-run Mumbai civic body. Everybody would have demanded an inquiry against the Brihan-
mumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC),” Shiv Sena group leader in the house, Sunil Prabhu, told reporters. “Nagpur is the second capital of the state and an important city. Nagpur Municipal Corporation is run by the BJP. It should have provided basic infrastructure to ensure rains don’t obstruct the proceedings of the legislature session,” he added. Prabhu said the area whereall ministerial bungalows and residential quarters of legislators are located is also flooded. NCP MLA and former minister Bhaskar Jadhav said, “This government is fully exposed. It decided that the monsoon session will be held in Nagpur. Shouldn’t it make all the arrangements to put the disaster management systems in place.” Energy Minister Chandrashekar Bawankule said it was for the first time that rains had affected the legislature proceedings in such a manner. “This happened because maybe the drainage was not cleaned,” he said.
Ne w D e l hi , J u l 6 (PTI): As the Dalai Lama turns 83, Majnu-ka-tilla, the quaint Tibetan locality, also known as the mini-Tibet here, rang in the spiritual leader’s birthday on Friday by thanking India for its support. The Tibetan Children Village school in the colony, decorated with Tibetan and Indian flags, was host to a cultural event organised by the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA). The event saw traditional dance performances including ‘Chol Kha Sum’ and ‘Tum Chen Kampa’, complemented with Tibetan delicacies like sweet rice and butter tea. Lauding the struggles and hardships of the Tibetan community to establish themselves in a foreign country, Member of Parliament Udit Raj said they had mixed so well with the locals here that they had “become Indians”. However, he said they had not “asked for” enough land for their community in the past, and offered to support them if they decided to raise the concern in future.
Dukhtaran-e-Milat chief, two others taken into NIA custody New Delhi, Jul 5 (PTI): The NIA today took custody of chief of the banned Dukhtaraan-e-Milat, Aasiya Andrabi, and two others in connection with a case registered in April this year for allegedly waging war against the country and delivering hate speeches in Jammu and Kashmir, officials said. Andrabi, who is in a prison in Srinagar after the Jammu and Kashmir High Court cancelled her bail last month, is being brought here from Kashmir along with her associates Sofi Fehmeeda and Nahida Nasreen, they said. All three will be produced before a special NIA court later for custodial interrogation, they added. The NIA, on directions of the Union Home Ministry, registered a case against them as well as the organisation, which is banned under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, in April this year. According to the FIR, the “central government has received information that
one Aasiya Andrabi and her associates namely Sofi Fehmeeda and Nahida Nasreen are actively running a terrorist organization named as ‘Dukhtaran-E-Millat’ (DEM) which is proscribed under the First Schedule to the UAPA”. “They are using various media platforms to spread insurrectionary imputations and hateful speeches that endanger the integrity, security and sovereignty of India. DEM through Aasiya Andrabi openly advocates secession of Jammu and Kashmir from the Union of India and has also called for Jihad and use of violence against India,” the FIR alleged. The agency also said in the FIR that Andrabi and her associates had spoken, written and also published “visible representations that bring into hatred and contempt apart from exciting disaffection towards the Government of India”. The organisation, it added, is promoting enmity,
hatred and ill-will between different communities on the grounds of religion and is doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony. Andrabi has solicited help from proscribed terrorist organizations and along with her associates has entered into a criminal conspiracy to wage war against the Government of India, the FIR alleged. She was arrested by the Jammu and Kashmir police in Anantnag in April this year for allegedly planning to organise a large-scale demonstration and stonepelting in the area. She was not released despite being granted bail by the court and was arrested in a different case. Inspector General of Police (Kashmir range) Swayam Prakash Pani, who took over in February this year, is placing special emphasis on pursuing all cases against separatists and ensuring that justice is delivered at the earliest, officials said.
the Delhi government. “Met Hon’ble CM @ ArvindKejriwal & Hon’ble Dy CM @msisodia. Assured them of my continued support & cooperation in the interest of good governance & overall development of Delhi as per the letter and spirit of Constitution,” Baijal tweeted soon after the meeting Kejriwal said all efforts will be made to speed up other projects that were previously held up due to the government’s tussle with the lieutenant governor. “Within the powers that we have after the SC order, I have asked officials to expedite projects such as doorstep delivery of ration and Signature Bridge. The lieutenant governor told us there is no need to send these files to me. You can go ahead with the projects,” he elaborated. Kejriwal had warned Baijal and bureaucrats of the state government on Thursday that executive powers related to the services sector, specifically postings and transfers of civil servants, rests with the council of ministers and the lieutenant governor clearing any file relating to the subject would amount to contempt of court.
Nagpur records 265 mm of rainfall in just nine hours Nagpur, Jul 6 (PTI): This city in Eastern Maharashtra recorded a whopping 265 mm of rainfall in just nine hours today, flooding several localities. The orange city registered 265 mm of rainfall between 8.30 am and 5.30 pm, Deputy Director General of Meteorology J R Prasad said. The highest 24hour rain record in Nagpur stood at 304 mm, which was registered on July 12, 1994. If that rain record has been breached or not will be known after tallying figures available at the end of 24 hours at 8.30 am tomorrow, he said. Prasad said heavy rainfall is expected in the next 24 hours also. The incessant downpour caused water-logging in several areas of the city, where incidents of uprooting of trees were also reported. Several parts of the Vidarbha region, too, received copious rains. The city is hosting the monsoon session of the state legislature but both the assembly and the council were adjourned for the day, shortly after convening this morning, due to a power blackout caused by the rains. The power supply had been turned off after the switching centre that provides electricity to the assembly complex was flooded following heavy rains in the second capital of Maharashtra.

The girl was sent to a local hospital for a medical check-up and police are searching for the other accused. According to the first information report
registered by the police, the girl was gang-raped by three schoolmates in the school lavatory in December 2017. The accused also shot a video of the rape and threatened to make the video public if she reported the matter to anyone at school or home. However, a few days later, the alleged rapists shared the video with other school friends, the FIR said. Gradually it reached a few teachers and the principal, and she was blackmailed for sex, the girl alleged. “The poor girl apprehending stigma and the video going viral in public went on succumbing to the carnal desires of other boys and two teachers in possession of the video,” police superintendent Rai said. Losing all hope, the girl eventually approached
the principal for help. However, Rai said, instead of approaching the police the principal cautioned her to keep silent as it would bring disrepute to her and the school. Worse, according to the SP, the principal called her one day after school and raped her in his chamber. “The victim has named in all 18 persons as her perpetrators in the FIR registered with the women’s police station,” the SP said. ‘We have formed a team led by Chapra Sadar DSP to probe the case and arrest all the culprits,” he added. Crime against women has been on the rise in Bihar. According to government records, 127 minors and women were subjected to rape in the first three months of 2018. The figures have almost doubled by June end.
27 Naxals arrested in Chhattisgarh Raipur, Jul 6 (PTI): Twenty seven Naxals were arrested from separate places in Chhattisgarhs Bastar and Sukma districts, police said today. While 20 ultras were arrested in Bastar, seven others, including a woman, were held from two places in Sukma, a senior police official told PTI.

He informed that they were members of Maoist front organisations like
the Dandakarnya Adivasi Kisan Mazdoor Sangthan, janmilitia and Chetna Natya Manch. The seven ultras were allegedly involved in separate incidents of attacks on police teams, the official added. In Bastar district, security forces carrying out a search operation in the forests of Darbha police station area rounded up 20 rebels active in the lower rungs of the proscribed outfit, he said.

Lynching effect: Maha police sensitizing locals about rumours Dhule, Jul 6 (PTI): In the wake of last Sunday’s lynching incident, the police in this district of Maharashtra have launched a drive to sensitize the locals regarding rumour-mongering. As part of this endeavour, the police have roped in the ‘kotwals’ (village criers who make public announcements), to spread the message that rumours of any kind should not be believed, according to Dhule’s Superintendent of Police M Ramkumar. Pamphlets are also being distributed among the residents of over 1,800 villages in Dhule district to educate them.Besides, local newspapers and news channels have been approached to disseminate the message, he told PTI in an interview here. On July 1, five nomadic tribals were lynched by a mob in Rainpada village, about 100 kms from the Dhule district headquarters, reportedly against the backdrop of rumours on social media that a gang of child-lifters was active in
the area. In the videos which went viral, the victims were seen being thrashed with sticks and chappals and stoned, after one of them apparently tried to speak to a six-year-old girl. The SP said the police personnel are contacting local leaders, like sarpanch heads and panchayat members, through whom the villagers could be sensitized regarding fake news and rumours spread over the social media. “We are reaching out to the villagers through our contacts to counter the menace of fake news being spread through the social media,” Ramkumar said. “Our message to the villagers is -- don’t share anything which is not verified, delete it and in case of a suspicious message which may cause disharmony, immediately contact the police,” he elaborated. Realising that the message needed to reach the last man in the villages, the police has roped in local village criers (kotwals).
a hardcore cadre who was active as a member of the Mahupadar LGS (local guerrilla squad) under the Kanger Ghati area committee of Maoists, was carrying a reward of Rs 1 lakh on his head, he said. Another senior cadre, Joga, a militia commander, was carrying a reward of Rs 1 lakh on his head, the official added. Enki, a former Konta LOS (local organisation squad) member, was among the ultras who surrendered, while the other four were lower rung cadres, he said.

Conspiracy against humanity
I
t requires more than conviction to boldly continue the seemingly hopeless cause for justice to the seven innocent Christians of Kandhamal who were convicted to life imprisonment for the murder of Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati in 2008. The killing was to extinguish Christianity as could be seen when organised mobs triggered a riot targeting Christians that lasted for seven weeks. The unabated violence killed nearly 100 Christians and resulted in the plundering of some 300 churches and 6,000 houses rendering 56,000 homeless. The crusader, one Anto Akkara, a journalist and writer who has written several books, with evidences, showed how the killing of Laxmanananda was planned and executed by members of a communal organisation in order to pin the blame on Christians. Retired judge of the Kerala High Court Justice Shamsuddin elaborated on how a fake resolution, that allegedly plotted to kill the Swami on Janmashtami night by the Catholic parish of Beticola, was presented in the trial court as crucial evidence to ensure conviction of the innocent Christians. Justice Shamsuddin pointed out, that after the conviction, “the same officer tells the Inquiry Commission (of Justice A S Naidu) that the resolution is forged. However, the appeal of the innocents is being shockingly postponed. The dis-inclination of the courts in giving a fair opportunity to seven innocents in jail only goes to show how the Indian judicial system has turned its blind eye on justice. As per the Indian law as well as universal law, that even a mentally challenged illiterate has been languishing in jail since 2008 without fair trial. The evidences brought out in the book exposes the travesty of justice in Kandhamal. Anto Akkara’s investigative book ‘Who Killed Swami Laxmanananda?’ opens a whole world of dark secrets that envelopes the discourse about communalism and fascism. The conspiracy as mentioned in the book cannot be dismissed outright since the names and places arouse interest. Retired Supreme Court Justice Cyriac Joseph in the launch recently, described the facts packed pages with shocking evidences collected adventurously as a milestone in investigative journalism in India. Unfortunately, the mainstream Indian media is either too scared or enticed by powerful forces, against giving adequate focus on the plight of innocent people who remain incarcerated. Even the National Human Rights Commission(NHRC) has chosen to hide behind the thin veneer of excuses against despatching a fact find team to Kandhamal. According to former judge of the Kerala High Court, Justice P.K.Shamsuddin “Kandhamal is the work of what we call fascist – Hindutva – forces.” These very forces today speak of sab ka saath sab ka vikas or collective efforts, inclusive growth. These atrocities against Christians is nothing short of genocide and which will remain a blot on the nation’s cherished goal of equality and inclusiveness. The sloganeering the rhetoric cannot sustain the ground realities that expose the hypocrisy of it all. How can the government claim that its holy book is the constitution when it is not respected where rules are flouted through specious interpretations? Human Rights activist C. R. Neelakantan has hit the nail on the head when he said that “Kandhamal not a religious issue. Even the judiciary and NHRC failed to stop the travesty of justice.” He also slammed the media which he said had failed to live up to expectations in highlighting reality and injustice.
DailyDevotion Visions Becoming Reality
The parched ground shall become a pool… —Isaiah 35:7 We always have a vision of something before it actually becomes real to us. When we realize that the vision is real, but is not yet real in us, Satan comes to us with his temptations, and we are inclined to say that there is no point in even trying to continue. Instead of the vision becoming real to us, we have entered into a valley of humiliation. Life is not as idle ore, But iron dug from central gloom, And battered by the shocks of doom To shape and use. God gives us a vision, and then He takes us down to the valley to batter us into the shape of that vision. It is in the valley that so many of us give up and faint. Every God-given vision will become real if we will only have patience. Just think of the enormous amount of free time God has! He is never in a hurry. Yet we are always in such a frantic hurry. While still in the light of the glory of the vision, we go right out to do things, but the vision is not yet real in us. God has to take us into the valley and put us through fires and floods to batter us into shape, until we get to the point where He can trust us with the reality of the vision. Ever since God gave us the vision, He has been at work. He is getting us into the shape of the goal He has for us, and yet over and over again we try to escape from the Sculptor’s hand in an effort to batter ourselves into the shape of our own goal. The vision that God gives is not some unattainable castle in the sky, but a vision of what God wants you to be down here. Allow the Potter to put you on His wheel and whirl you around as He desires. Then as surely as God is God, and you are you, you will turn out as an exact likeness of the vision. But don’t lose heart in the process. If you have ever had a vision from God, you may try as you will to be satisfied on a lower level, but God will never allow it.

Post-mortem On the protracted Naga issue
Calling all Naga young women
W
e, the Nagas and Indians are quite different at all like day and night. Nagas and Indians knew nothing each other before Mahatma Gandhi, father of the Indian Nation and a Naga delegation led by NNC leader A.Z. Phizo, father of the Naga Nation met for the first time on 19th July, 1947 at Bhangi Colony, Delhi, India. Yet the first meet was cordial, frank and decisive. Thus after this Meeting of mutual understanding between the two Nations, our people under the banner of NNC formally declared our age-old independence on 14th August, 1947 one day ahead of the India’s independence. But after India was set free by the British on 15th August, 1947, India covetously sent her invading Armed Forces to Nagaland and began to invade our country in 1950s without any reason. Thenceforth, few Indians like a cat and not like a man began to walk in our land and betrayed us. So the Indo-Naga war was fought for many years in Naga country and Nagaland became a battle field until the Indo-Naga Ceasefire Agreement was signed in May, 1964 between the Federal Government of Nagaland (FGN) and the Government of India (GOI). Besides, the Naga women boldly bore their bounden responsibilities in defence of our Nation with male patriots. Some patriotic Naga women also took part even in the battle fields with the male soldiers and safeguarded our national birthright, the gift of God. Some women leaders, Lady Armies and women volunteers also went on
Alee (Foreign) Mission/Command and many Naga women fearlessly supplied daily ration and necessities to the national workers even in the jungle because males were indiscriminately hunted and killed by the aggressive Indian Armed Forces. As a result the pains and sufferings of the Naga women in those days were beyond human descriptions and the fates of the Naga women were uncertain to remain prestigious or alive as the invading Indian Armed Forces were wild, barbaric and inhuman. Please read “The fate of the Naga people” An Appeal to the World by A.Z. Phizo, President, Naga National Council: London the 26th July, 1960 and a Memorandum dated 8th October, 1960 submitted by A.Z. Phizo, President, Naga National Council (NNC) to His Excellency Frederick H. Boland, President, United Nations General Assembly, United Nations, New York, USA. During this darkest period, the wicked Indian Armed Forces have killed about two lakhs of our people, much more wounded, countless tortured, raped, numerous houses along with churches, granaries and all sorts of properties were burned into ashes, remnants looted and thousands of our people died of hungers and diseases. But no a single right-thinking Indian woman is found till date to speak the truth about the Nagas. Decades have passed, but the Indo-Naga conflict remains unresolved. Yet, we the old Naga women have sacrificed our lives and done our parts for the Nation. We have now become old and most of the
leaders of the Naga Women Federation (NWF) are octogenarians. It is the turn of the young Naga women to bear the cross of our Nation. I, therefore, fervently call all young Naga women to wake up from slumber and lift up the cross of the Nation. The Mumbai May 8, (Reuters) and local daily May 9, 2018 stated: In India, boy victims of sex crimes don’t get talk about. A India 2007 survey by the ministry of Women and child development, which sampled 12,447 children in families, schools, at work and living on the street, found that more than half had faced sexual abuse and 53 percent of the victims were boys. For the capital Delhi, the figure was 60 percent. Such shameful things including the recent raped case of Jamu & Kashmir are taking place in India too. Where some Naga women condemned them as human being, but the Naga women should not forget the past heinous crime committed by the Indian Armed Forces against the Naga women and young Naga women must follow the footprints of the old Naga women. Nagas are not Indians and Nagaland is not India’s territory. If the young Naga women have forgotten the aforesaid crimes and gone astray, they will bring the wrath of God in Nagaland. The Naga women of yesterday were brave enough although they were illiterate. So the young Naga women of today must also be brave in defence of our Nation. Kevileü Chakrüno, vice president, Naga Women Federation (NWF) NNC
O
f late, when Mr. Muviah cannot enter his village, and the Eastern side includes international border, how do we expect integration. I believe that referendum is a valid democratic tool for deciding any contentious issue and so we should first call for a referendum followed by diplomatic negotiation on the eastern side. There can never be a solution without the people’s voice. A referendum is much needed at this juncture especially if we desire peace and all parties must adhere to its outcome. I’m sure people will vote for the popular opinion of integration and sovereignty at any cost so I do not see many obstacles in that matter if we can achieve this. Like its uniqueness, our history is intricate, which takes into account multifarious states and people. It wouldn’t be effortless, especially when there is an international border. Those voters voted for PDA anticipating political solution within six months ought to be tagged as inculpable, or unschooled in Naga history. Chief Minister said integration is not possible. If it was said by GoI he should fight for it that Nagas needs integration. How simply could he accept the interest of the GOI. He is representing Nagas but he should not accept which whole Nagas doesn’t want it at all. The Chief Minister was wrong by saying this from his mouth but this is just a small image
of how much the Indo-Naga political talks will be resulted. For any political party’s Integration & Sovereignty is just a bluffed rather to procure the seat and wealth in the name of Integration & Sovereignty. Nagas should speak out that we don’t need those money mongers and incompetent Ministers. The PDA promised to solve the indo-Naga political problem solution within six months better be quick the clocks ticking. It is pathetic the PDA just reduced to mouthpiece of Rajnath Singh/BJP without a mind of their own, on such an important long standing NAGA issue! Nevertheless Integration seems a little far but let’s be hopeful as being together could bring fruitful and amicable solution. Who can assure us integration is possible and we all know that integration is not possible! But some politicians want integration as a political tool to fool the Nagas and some organization used integration to loot us! The Chief Minister declared in March that Naga solution will come/ signed on August 10, 2018. After the State election, the main agenda of the State and Central governments, as declared by the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi is Naga solution. Only those who don’t want peace will oppose the desire for an agreement on the protracted Naga issue. S. Richard Humtsoe working president LJP Nagaland

There are 29 (twentynine) Theological colleges in Nagaland which were opened with the permission given by the Government of Nagaland. In respect of Secular Private colleges (applicants), they are given No Objection Certificate by the State Government, after which they approach the Nagaland University seeking for permission to open the college. Theological colleges were given permission to open (and not NOC ). As such, the use of the words
no objection certificate (in certain publication(s) in respect of the already permitted Theological colleges is a misnomer (wrongly used). There were 3282 students studying in the above mentioned twenty-nine Theological colleges during 2016-17 session. Amongst these, only four are Senate of Serampore college/university affiliated colleges whose degrees are recognized for employment and further studies by the Government of Nagaland and Nagaland University respectively. The Theological colleges opened with government’s permission were getting post matric scholarships (from GOI) and grant-in-aid from (GON) for about thirty years or so. However, it appears that due to certain official reason(s), our local children studying in these Theological colleges have been deprived of the Scholarship facility ever since 2015. Since there is a solution to every problem in Nagaland, the present Writer considers that this issue needs to be addressed tactfully in appropriate platforms by the Nagaland Theological Association and others.

Reader’s Post
For welfare of general public Sir,
The recent seizure of fish by the Food Safety Department which was found chemically contaminated and not fit for human consumption is highly condemnable by every person. Different varieties of fish tested positive for formalin in Dimapur and across the state should be an eye opener for the Nagas to take more precarious measure in our daily food habit. The Chumukedima Unit under CPO therefore request the concern authorities not to leave any stone unturned and book the culprit as per the law of the land. As studies have shown that Formalin, a toxic chemical, is commonly used to preserve dead bodies in mortuaries, it also increases the shelf life of fish. Formaldehyde is a colorless, strong-smelling gas used in making building materials and many household products. It is used in pressed-wood products, such as particleboard, plywood, and fiberboard; glues and adhesives; permanent-press fabrics; paper product coatings; and certain insulation materials. When dissolved in water it is called formalin, which is commonly used as an industrial disinfectant, and as a preservative in funeral homes and medical labs. Hence, using such toxin without proper undertaking from the government or concern authorities is not less than a criminal. Therefore, we the Chumukedima unit strongly appeal the concern authority/agencies to probe without any bias for the welfare of the general public. Rünavilhou Angami, president Chumukedima Unit (CPO)

for whom fuel accounts for a significant proportion of overall costs. “Most borrowers in the commercial vehicle segment are small operators that depend directly on their vehicles for income, and some could find it difficult to make repayments if their margins continue to be squeezed,” the agency said. The last fuel price rise of comparable size was from mid-2012 to mid-2014, when it rose by just over 40 per cent. This led to 90+ days past due auto loan delinquencies jumping to around two to three times of pre-2012 levels for the majority of originators, making it the most stressful period for auto loans in the last 10 years, it said.

Mumbai, Jul 6 (PTI): Fitch Ratings Friday said continued rise in fuel prices could impact commercial vehicle operators in the country, leading to auto loan defaults. In Delhi, diesel prices averaged at Rs 67.4 per litre in June, 26 per cent higher than a year earlier and 50 per cent than the January 2016 level. Upward pressure in fuel prices has stemmed from the recovery in global oil prices and depreciation in the rupee, which has fallen by almost 7 per cent against the dollar since the start of the year, the rating agency said in its report. It said freight rates have so far not kept pace with fuel price increases, rising by less than 15 per cent since January 2016, which is causing stress for commercial vehicle operators,

In the first quarter of the current fiscal, UBI posted a net loss of Rs 220 crore, Bajaj said. “We expect to be back in the black by the end of March 2019.” Bajaj said the bank was shedding bulk deposits and reducing exposure to large corporates, and instead, focusing on SMEs, retail and agriculture. “As the bank is based in West Bengal and other eastern states, the reason for high level of NPAs was lack of industrial growth in the region and lower credit offtake,” he said. Bajaj said that the CD ratio of the region, including that of West Bengal, was also low. UBI has submitted a capital requirement plan to the Central government, he said.

Altogether 40 cases were referred to the NCLT of which Rs 580 crore had already been recovered by the bank, Bajaj told shareholders at the annual general meeting here. “Now, all the cases referred to the NCLT will be ready for resolution, as the stipulated time limit is going to be over and reached the last stages of settlement,” Bajaj said.

Going by the assets that we have, we feel that it will be significant amount of the debt if not whole amount”. Asked about timeline for auction, he said, banks are working very closely with all agencies and lawyer in London as to how High Court Enforcement Order (HCEO) can be enforced. State Bank of India has appointed valuer to assess the value of assets of Mallya. Asked about recovery in India, Basu said, the consortium has recovered Rs 963 crore from auction of Mallya’s Indian assets. The order grants permission to the UK High Court Enforcement Officer to enter the 62-year-old
it states. Giving the background of the case, Basu said, banks have worked really hard for the last 2-3 years to try and get recovery order which has been given by the debt recovery tribunal because many of the assets which this person holds are not in the country but outside. Last consortium meeting took place on May 30 following which the bank appointed lawyer in London, he said, adding that the concerted efforts of banks resulted in this landmark order. The order relates to the UK’s Tribunal Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 and follows a UK High Court ruling in May, which refused to overturn a worldwide order freezing Mallya’s assets and upheld an Indian court’s ruling that the Indian banks were entitled to recover funds. It marked the first recorded case of a judgment of the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) in India being registered by the English High Court, setting a legal precedent.

However, it is not an instruction to enter, which means the banks have the option to use the order as one of the means to recover estimated funds of around 1.145 billion pounds. “The High Court Enforcement Officer, including any enforcement agents acting under his authority, may enter Ladywalk, Queen Hoo Lane, Tewin, Welwyn... and Bramble Lodge, Queen Hoo Lane, Tewin, Welwyn, including all outbuildings of Ladywalk and Bramble Lodge to search for and take control of goods belonging to the First Defendant (Mallya),” notes the order by Justice Byran, dated June 26. “The High Court Enforcement Officer, including any Enforcement Agent acting under his authority, may use reasonable force to enter the Property if necessary,”
Mumbai, Jul 6 (PTI): Staging a mild recovery from a record closing low, the rupee edged up by 8 paise to end at 68.87 against the US currency, largely tracking gains in key Asian units amid weak dollar tone overseas. The domestic bourses too enjoyed a healthy weekend run. The outcome of the latest FOMC meeting minutes and the release of better-than-expected US ISM non-manufacturing PMI numbers did little to influence the home currency even as investors braced for a potential interest rate hikes near-term. Though, the r upee briefly slipped below 69 levels in mid-morning deals but managed to recoup losses on apparent intervention by the Reserve Bank, coupled with greenback selling by exporters. The Indian rupee hit a record closing low of 68.95 on Thursday following a panic demand for the US dollar coupled with savage capital flight worries. Meanwhile, fears over a slowdown in the country’s economy in the midst of surging international crude oil prices and widening current account deficits predominantly kept the forex sentiment highly nervous.

New Delhi, Jul 6 (PTI): Indian banks are working very closely with various agencies, including in the UK, to recover maximum out of assets owned by Vijay Mallya after a British court allowed them to search and seize properties of the fugitive liquor baron, SBI MD Arijit Basu said Friday. “We have been able to come this far because of efforts that was taken in a very coordinated manner by all agencies including the government. We are very happy with the court order and with this kind of order we have we should be able to go after those assets,” he told reporters here. The SBI is the leader of consortium of 13 banks that lent about Rs 9,000 crore to Mallya’s now defunct Kingfisher Airlines. Without giving a specific number, Basu said: “there are various laws which operate between different countries that allow us to go beyond our national borders.

Diver dies in Thailand cave rescue attempt
London, Jul 6 (Agencies): A former Thai navy diver has died while taking part in efforts to rescue 12 boys and their football coach trapped in a flooded cave in Thailand. Petty Officer Saman Gunan lost consciousness on his way out of the Tham Luang cave complex, where he had been delivering air tanks. According to BBC, the boys have been trapped for nearly two weeks in a chamber in the cave. They ventured in while the cave was dry but were caught out by a sudden deluge of rain, which flooded the system. The group was found by British rescue divers after 10 days in the cave,
perched on a rock shelf in a small chamber about 4km (2.5 miles) from the cave mouth. Teams of Thai and international divers have since supplied them with food, oxygen and medical attention, but there are mounting concerns about the oxygen level in the chamber, which officials said had fallen to 15%. The usual level is 21%. On the surface, a huge military and civilian rescue operation is racing against the clock to bring the boys to safety. Heavy monsoon rains are expected on Sunday, threatening further flooding. Officials had initially considered leaving

Rescued tourists from a boat that sank are helped onto a pier Thursday, on the island of Phuket, southern Thailand. (Thailand Royal Police via AP)
Phuket (Thailand), Jul 6 (Agencies): Dozens of people are dead or missing after two boats carrying tourists capsized in 16-foot waves whipped up by a violent storm off the coast of the resort island of Phuket, the Thai government said on Friday. According to CNN, Thai officials didn’t confirm the number of deaths in their latest press conference, but a government site is still reporting at least 40 dead and there are conflicting numbers in media reports. Au t h o r i t i e s h ave launched an investigation into the incident. The Thai Prime Minister’s Office shared condolences with the families of the victims, saying that the government “will exert all efforts to find those still missing and pro-
vide support to all survivors of this tragic event.” One of the vessels, the Phoenix PC Diving ship, was carrying 105 passengers, including Thai crew members, tourist guides, and 93 tourists -- many of them Chinese holidaymakers. Phuket -- known for its beaches and luxurious resorts -- is one of Thailand’s most popular tourist destinations and many of its foreign visitors are Chinese tourists. The Chinese Embassy in Thailand said 16 Chinese nationals have been confirmed dead and 33 were missing. Seventy-eight Chinese nationals have been rescued, it said.

overnight to visit people in hospitals and assist with the rescue response. “[China’s] Ministry of Foreign Affairs has immediately activated an emergency response system and take the lead to organize a multi-ministry working group which is on their way to Thailand for assistance,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said. The Thai authorities have provided conflicting information regarding the total number of people who were on the two boats and a jet ski that sank on Thursday afternoon in rough seas. The vessels went out despite a severe weather warning, which was still in place for much of the country’s southern coast on Friday, according to the Thailand Meteorological Department.
Japan executes Sarin attack cultists
London, Jul 6 (Agencies): Seven members of the Aum Shinrikyo doomsday cult which carried out a deadly chemical attack on the Tokyo underground in 1995 have been executed, including cult leader Shoko Asahara. The Sarin attack, Japan’s worst terror incident, killed 13 people and injured thousands more. The executions took place at a Tokyo detention house on Friday morning. Japan does not give prior notice of executions, but they were later confirmed by the justice ministry. Shoko Asahara, 63, and his followers were also accused of several other murders and an earlier Sarin gas attack in 1994 which killed eight and left 600
“I reacted calmly... But I did feel the world had become slightly brighter,” said Atsushi Sakahara, a film director who was caught in the attack. “It will be impossible to ever forget the incident, but the execution brings a kind of closure.”
Shoko Asahara headed the Aum Shinrikyo cult.
injured. Their execution, by hanging, had been postponed until all those convicted had completed their final appeals. That happened in January. Another six members of the cult are still on death row. Injured victims and the families of those killed have welcomed the executions.

On 20 March 1995, cult members released the Sarin on the subway in the Japanese capital. They left punctured bags filled with liquid nerve agent on train lines going through Tokyo’s political district. Witnesses described noticing the leaking packages and soon afterwards feeling stinging fumes hitting their eyes. The toxin struck victims down in a matter of sec-
onds, leaving them choking and vomiting, some blinded and paralysed. Thirteen people died. Aum Shinrikyo, often shortened to Aum, believed that the end of the world was coming and that those outside the cult would go to hell - unless they were killed by cult members. Cult leader Asahara styled the attack as a “holy attempt to elevate the doomed souls of this world to a higher spiritual stage”, the Japan Times reports. In the months after, members of the cult made several failed attempts to release hydrogen cyanide in various stations. The attack shocked Japan, a country that prided itself on low crime rates and social cohesion.

But Thailand’s Navy Seal commander suggested on Thursday that the divers may now have little choice but to attempt a daring emergency rescue - fraught with danger for the boys, who are aged 11 to 16 and some of whom cannot swim. “At first, we thought the children could stay for a long time... but now things have changed, we have a limited time,” Rear Admiral Apakorn Yookongkaew said. The death of PO Saman - a highly trained diver - on Thursday underscored the danger of moving from the chamber to mouth of the cave, and raised serious doubts about the safety of bringing the boys out through the cramped, flooded passageways.

The court also ordered confiscation of Avenfield apartments in favour of Pakistan. The fine money will go into the state treasury. “I congratulate my all prosecution team... It is a victory of the NAB prosecution,” Abbasi said. He also said that the verdict showed that Avenfield apartments were purchased with corruption money and were in ownership of Sharif family since 1993. According to media reports, Sharif and Maryam were in their apartment in the Avenfield building in London when the decision was announced. Besides Sharif, his daughter Maryam and sonin-law Safdar, his sons Hassan and Hussain were also co-accused. The two sons never appeared before the court and were declared as absconders.

Soon after the verdict, Maryam, considered to be Sharif ’s heir apparent, took to Twitter to share this message: “This is a very small punishment for firmly standing in front of unseen forces. The morale to fight against oppression has increased today.” Islamabad-based accountability court judge Mohammad Bashir pronounced the verdict behind closed doors. Earlier, he had rejected the application of the Sharif family seeking a seven-day postponement in announcement of the verdict. “The court sentenced Sharif to 10 years rigorous imprisonment and fined eight million pounds (over USD 10 million).

Islamabad, Jul 6 (PTI): Pakistan’s deposed premier Nawaz Sharif was Friday sentenced in absentia to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment by an anti-graft court in one of the three corruption cases against him in the Panama Papers scandal, dealing a huge blow to his party ahead of the elections on July 25. Sharif ’s 44-year-old daughter and co-accused Maryam was given seven years of rigorous imprisonment and a fine of two million pounds, while her husband Capt (retd) Muhammad Safdar was jailed for one year for not cooperating with the anti-graft authorities. Amid tight security, the court delivered the much-anticipated verdict after postponing it for five times during the day in the Avenfield corruption case -- pertaining to the ownership of four flats in the posh Avenfield House in London. The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had filed the case, along with two others, on the Supreme

Ms Parmar, 31, who is from the Meghwar community will contest as an independent candidate for the Sindh Assembly constituency PS-56 from Tharparkar district which has the highest number of Hindus in Pakistan. Confident of challenging the status quo, Ms Parmar said she was compelled to contest the upcoming polls as previous governments failed to deliver on their promises of making life better for the people of her constituency, according to a media report. “Previous gover nments did nothing for the people of this area. Even in 21st century, we lack basic health facilities and proper educational institutes for women,” Ms Parmer said.

Ariana Grande defends fiancé over bomb joke
Nagaland Post, Dimapur SATURDAY, JULY 7, 2018
riana Grande has addressed the controversy over her fiancé’s joke about the Manchester Arena bombing - saying she “didn’t find it funny”. But the singer said Pete Davidson uses comedy “to help people feel better” and his intention “wasn’t malicious”. D u r i n g a s e t f ive months after the terror attack, the Saturday Night Live comedian made a remark about how famous Ariana had become. He said: “Britney Spears didn’t have a terrorist attack at her concert.” Ariana responded to a fan’s tweet on Thursday which questioned why she was still with Pete. The 25-year-old said the issue had been “tough and conflicting” on her heart and the joke was unfortunate. The couple started dating in May and last month Pete confirmed they were engaged. Speaking on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the 24-year-old said that men were walking past him and tipping their hat as a sign of respect. The Manchester Arena bombing, which took place in May last year, claimed the lives of 22 people.
A
“breathtakingly beautiful” £20m extension to Cornwall’s Tate St Ives gallery has earned it the prestigious award for Museum of the Year. The venue reopened in October after an expansion that doubled its gallery space by digging into the cliff face. That impressed the judges of the Art Fund’s annual Museum of the Year award, which comes with a £100,000 prize. Ar t Fund director Stephen Deuchar said the extension was “deeply intelligent and breathtakingly beautiful”. Deuchar, who chaired the judging panel, also said the redevelopment provided “the perfect stage for a curatorial programme that is at once adventurous, inclusive and provocative”. Tate St Ives opened in 1993 to celebrate the artists
who were attracted by the light in the coastal town from the 1930s onwards, including Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson, Alfred Wallis and Patrick Heron. The gallery proved more popular than expected, and plans for an extension were drawn up 15 years ago. Many locals objected to the original proposals, however, with more than 2,000 signing a petition, saying the scheme would block views of the sea and take up car parking space. So architects decided to dig into the cliff face instead, and the venue was shut for 18 months while the work was carried out. Last year’s prize was won by another place with links to Barbara Hepworth - the Hepworth Wakefield gallery in the West Yorkshire city where the sculptor was born. Simon Wallis, director of Hepworth Wakefield, welcomed Tate St
Ives’ win. But the news was not universally welcomed, with art critic Waldemar Januszczak saying it was a win for “southern privilege”. Rosie Millard, the former chair of Hull City of Culture 2017, said she had wanted Hull’s Ferens Art Gallery to win from the shortlist, saying: “Not one member of the jury from the north. Zero.” Dr Gabrielle Heffernan, the curatorial manager at Carlisle’s Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery, added she was keen to see a museum - rather than an art gallery - win the coveted award. The Hepworth Wakefield has just announced that it will use its £100,000 prize money to buy a sculpture by Turner Prize and Hepworth Prize winner Helen Martens, and to help transform neighbouring land into a new public garden.

Wimbledon: Muguruza suffers shock defeat
Defending champion Garbine Muguruza returns a shot to Alison van Uytvanck.
London, Jul 6 (Agencies): Alison Van Uytvanck played the match of her life to dump defending champion Garbine Muguruza out of Wimbledon. The Belgian, ranked 47th in the world, put on a brilliant performance and won 5-7 6-2 6-1 in the All England Club twilight. Muguruza was strangely out of sorts and could not cope with Van Uytvanck’s tremendous hitting. The Spaniard becomes the sixth top-10 seed to lose in the opening two rounds of this year’s women’s singles. Being scheduled last on Court Two left the Spaniard perhaps vulnerable to a surprise, after a long day of waiting to play. K Y M C
But an upset looked unlikely after she got the better of a first set which had five break of serves. Van Uytvanck, who has only got past the second round at a grand slam once before, began to find her range midway through the second set and levelled the match with a run of four successive games. That hot streak continued as she hit Muguruza off the court and ended her trophy defence in remarkable fashion. Meanwhile, Johanna Konta’s hopes of another deep run at Wimbledon came to an end at the hands of Dominika Cibulkova in the second round. The British No 1
reached the semi-finals at the All England Club last year, but hard-hitting Slovakian Cibulkova produced a ruthless display to end Konta’s hopes 6-3 6-4 on Thursday. “It feels great, it was a tough draw today and I could not be more happy with my performance,” Cibulkova said. “I don’t really think about the seeding now, I’ll just focus on my tennis.”
Rodina beat Madison Keys
Madison Keys has become the latest top-10 seeded woman to lose at Wimbledon after her comeback fell short. The American fought
back from a set and two breaks down only to falter near the end as she lost to Russian qualifier Evgeniya Rodina 7-5, 5-7, 6-4 in the third round. In a match full of big swings, the 10th-seeded Keys led 5-2 in the first set before the 120th-ranked Rodina won the next nine games to go 4-0 up in the second. But Keys won the next five games and broke again to level the set score. She then broke back to level the third set at 4-4, but Rodina immediately earned another break and served out the victory. Six of the women’s top 10 seeds, including defending champion Garbine Muguruza, lost in the first two rounds. Godina made the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time. She was 0-15 in her career against top-20 ranked opponents before Friday’s win. Meanwhile, Ekaterina Makarova of Russia has become the first player to reach the fourth round at Wimbledon. Makarova followed up her victory over secondseeded Caroline Wozniacki by beating former semifinalist Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 to reach the round of 16 for the third time.

Sindhu crashes out of Indonesia Open Jakarta, Jul 6 (PTI): Indian challenge ended at the Indonesian Open after PV Sindhu and HS Prannoy suffered straight-game quarterfinal defeats here Friday. World no 3 Sindhu, a silver medallist at Olympics and world championship, lost 14-21 15-21 to Chinese world no 7 He Bingjiao in 37 minutes. It was her sixth loss to the left-handed Chinese shuttler in 11 meetings. P r a n n o y, s e e d e d eighth, went into the match with a 1-3 head-to-head count against All England champion Shi Yuqi. He seemed to match Shi Yuqi in the rallies but lacked precision in his finishing touches. As a result, the third seeded Chinese lead 11-8 at interval in both the games and eventually notched up a 21-17 21-18 win in 39 minutes to reach the semifinals. The opening match between Sindhu and Bingjiao opened on an even keel as both the players looked to outdo each other in the rallies. At one stage, Bingjiao lead 10-8 but Sindhu managed to erase the deficit before a net return error gave
PV Sindhu

Vijender’s Commonwealth title fight postponed New Delhi, Jul 6 (PTI): Indian boxing star Vijender Singh’s clash against Briton Lee Markham for the Commonwealth Super middleweight title was today postponed after the latter pulled out due to injury.

France beat Uruguay 2-0 to enter semis
France’s Raphael Varane (R) scores his side’s opening goal during the quarterfinal match against Uruguay. (AP/PTI)
Nizhny Novgorod, Jul 6 (Agencies): Raphael Varane and Antoine Griezmann scored as France advanced to a World Cup semi-final against either Belgium or Brazil after easing past Uruguay on Friday. Following an opening passage high on energy but bereft of quality, Varane glanced home a Griezmann free-kick to open the scoring before the Atletico Madrid man doubled France’s advantage just after the hour mark in a moment to forget for Uruguay goalkeeper
Fernando Muslera. Griezmann found space 25 yards out and fired in a shot that should have been routine for Muslera but the ball slipped through his grasp and into the net. Oscar Tabarez’s Uruguay, without injured striker Edinson Cavani, never looked like finding a route back into the game and France now await Friday’s late game to see who they will meet in St Petersburg on Tuesday. The opening 40 minutes were notable only for
Uruguay’s pressing and harassing of France whenever Didier Deschamps’ men were in possession, and a bad miss from Les Bleus’ golden boy Kylian Mbappe. The Paris Saint-Germain striker, who scored twice in the 4-3 defeat of Argentina in the last 16, ought to have opened the scoring in Nizhny Novgorod but fluffed his lines horribly after 15 minutes. After latching on to Olivier Giroud’s knockdown in the box, Mbappe had time and space to bring the ball
Colombia players arrive to hero’s welcome
Fans waved Colombia flags as the team bus drove through Bogota.
Bogota, Jul 6 (Agencies): Colombia arrived back in Bogota to a hero’s welcome on Thursday as supporters showed their appreciation following their nation’s run to the first knockout round. Thousands of fans lined the streets of the Colombian capital as the team bus drove through to cheer and unveil banners in support of the squad. Captain Radamel Falcao and coach Jose Pekerman led the team’s response as they clapped and waved to the fans gathered in their wake. Members of the Co-
lombian army even turned out to toast their nation’s efforts in Russia, sporting camoflauge caps and national team shirts. Fans in attendance looked delighted with their team’s efforts in Russia as they made it to the round of 16 after finishing top of their group. Despite the positive reception in Bogota, two players have received death threats after missing penalties in the shootout defeat by England on Tuesday. Messages targeting Mateus Uribe and Carlos Bacca started to appear within
minutes of Colombia being knocked out following the dramatic match in Moscow. Uribe’s penalty hit the crossbar while Bacca’s attempt was kept out by a spectacular save from England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. England had taken the lead through Harry Kane’s 57th-minute penalty but an injury-time header from Yerry Mina sent the match to extra time. After a goalless 30 minutes, the match went to a penalty shootout and Eric Dier would strike the winning spot-kick to send England through.
down but instead attempted a header that drifted harmlessly over Muslera’s crossbar. The game was crying out for some creativity and it arrived five minutes before the break. Griezmann’s inswinging free-kick from the right was met by Varane and his flicked header flashed past Muslera and into the bottom left corner. Uruguay almost responded in similar fashion four minutes later but Martin Caceres’ header was brilliantly saved by Hugo
FIFA invites trapped Thai boys to WC final
Ba n g ko k , J u l 6 (IANS): World football’s governing body FIFA has invited 12 schoolchildren and their coach who were trapped in partially flooded Tham Khao Luang Cave in Thailand to the 2018 FIFA World Cup final that will be held in Moscow on July 15. “If, as we all hope, they are reunited with their families in the coming days and their health allows them to travel, FIFA would be delighted to invite them to attend the 2018 World Cup final in Moscow as our guests,” FIFA President Gianni Infantino said in a letter that was sent to the Football Association of Thailand. FIFA noted that it has been following news about the rescue operation since June 23, reports Tass news agency. It may be mentioned here that 12 schoolchildren and their coach have been trapped in Tham Khao Luang Cave in Thailand since June 23.
Lloris low to his right and Diego Godin hammered the rebound wildly over. France started the second half on the front foot but it was still a surprise when they made it 2-0 after 61 minutes. Muslera suggested the ball swerved but he should have got his body behind Griezmann’s shot and could only watch as it dropped apologetically into the net. Ur uguay substitute Cristian Rodriguez fired a shot a yard wide after 64 minutes but the South Americans were struggling to create anything and their frustration boiled over when Mbappe went down softly under a challenge from Rodriguez, prompting angry confrontations involving Godin, Nahitan Nandez and Paul Pogba. Corentin Tolisso could have made it 3-0 to France after 73 minutes but curled over, while Griezmann also flashed a late free-kick over the top. Uruguay centre-half Jose Gimenez was in tears with five minutes to go, such was his anguish as France cruised home.

Modric dreaming of Croatia’s fairytale finish Sochi, Jul 6 (Agencies): Luka Modric says it would be a “beautiful fairytale” to lead Croatia to glory in Russia over the next week. Modric and co take on the hosts on Saturday night, looking to book the first World Cup semi-final place for 20 years. The stylish former Tottenham midfielder has won four Champions Leagues with Real Madrid, including the last three in a row, but said lifting the World Cup would top everything. “To be at this World Cup is a great privilege,” said Modric. “Playing for my team is a great honour and a pleasure, but to win the World Cup with Croatia is almost unthinkable, like the most beautiful fairytale. It would be incredible to lift the trophy as captain.” Croatia won a knockout game at a major tournament for the first time since that run to the final four of France 98 with their penalty shootout triumph over Denmark, and Modric is determined they build on that by defeating the hosts. “Since 2008 [when they lost on penalties to Turkey in the first knockout round — despite scoring first in the 119th minute] we have never gone beyond this first

knockout game and it was very important for us to get that monkey off our back,” he said. “We secured a great result after many years of trying and that means a lot to me. I’ve been in this team since 2008 and we have experienced several unlucky defeats in that time, particularly against Turkey and
Portugal at Euro 2016. We needed some luck this time and I think we deserved it.” Modric missed a penalty five minutes from the end of extra-time against the Danes that would surely have put Croatia through, but bravely stepped forward again when the tie went to spot-kicks to help secure their quarter-final spot.
WC has broken stereotypes about Russia: Putin
Gianni Infantino and Vladimir Putin.
MOSCOW, Jul 6 (Agencies): Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that his country’s hosting of the soccer World Cup had helped debunk stereotypes about it. Russia’s host nation status had been met with resistance by some in the West who suggested the tournament could be unsafe and play into the hands of Putin, who stands accused by Washington of conducting “malign activities” around the world. But the month-long tournament, which ends on July 15, has so far been without major security incidents. Concerns about rac-
with the best feelings and memories of our country and will come again many times.” Increasingly isolated on the global stage, Putin has used the tournament to send a defiant message to his opponents that Russia is succeeding despite Western efforts to hold it back. Moscow’s pedestrian streets have been flooded
with fans and locals who have celebrated the world’s most prestigious soccer tournament until the small hours of the morning. The Russian team’s unexpected success at the World Cup has also added to the event’s appeal in the country. Russia will face Croatia in the quarter-finals in Sochi on Saturday.
ism and hooligan violence that were discussed in the run-up have not been borne out and most visiting fans have spoken of a positive experience. At a meeting with FIFA president Gianni Infantino and former soccer stars at the Kremlin, Putin said the tournament and its coverage on social media had “helped break many stereotypes about Russia”. “People have seen that Russia is a hospitable country, a friendly one for those who come here,” Putin said. “I’m sure that an overwhelming majority of people who came will leave
Eng, Sweden face tense battle for final four
England players during a training session ahead of their clash against Sweden.
Samara, Jul 6 (IANS): England will look to reach the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup for the third time in their history, while the Swedes aim to make it into the last four for the fifth time when the two teams meet in the quarter-finals at the Samara Arena here on Saturday. Sweden reached the semis in 1938, 1950, 1958 (when they were hosts and would go on to play in the fi-
nal) and in 1994 in the US. The English qualified for the semi-finals in 1966, (when they won the World Cup on home soil) and 1990, when they endured the heartbreak of losing a penalty shoot-out to Germany. England finally put their penalty jinx behind them on Tuesday when they beat Colombia and will be favourites to make it into the last four.
However Sweden produced another typically solid display to knock Switzerland out of the round of 16 and give England an idea of the task awaiting them. Swedish coach Janne Andersson will welcome veteran midfielder Sebastian Larsson back into the side after a suspension, while central defender Andreas Granqvist has opted to stay with the squad even though his wife is expected to give
birth at any moment. England have an injury doubt hanging over striker Jamie Vardy but that shouldn’t alter Gareth Southgate’s starting XI. Dele Ali also looked to be struggling with his troubleso me left thigh and Southgate will have to decide whether to risk the attacking midfielder or to include Ruben Loftus-Cheek or Fabian Delph, who returned to the squad after his wife gave birth on Tuesday. The English have been effective from set-pieces, scoring seven of their nine goals at the tournament from corners, penalties or free kicks. They will need to be more clinical in the penalty area against a rival that showed against the Swiss that they are totally committed to defending. Sweden have their base camp in Gelendzhik, where it is around 10 degrees centigrade hotter than the England training base near St Petersburg. That could be a factor if the game goes into extra time in what promises to be a warm and humid Samara evening.
