HDK govt loses majority; 13 MLAs quit BENGALURU, JUL 6 (PTI): The JD(S)-Congress government plunged into a crisis on Saturday with 13 MLAs of the H.D. Kumaraswamy led alliance submitting their resignation to the Speaker. The ruling coalition, which has 118 members, faces the risk of losing majority in the 224member Assembly if the resignations are accepted. The crisis, which had been brewing ever since the BJP swept the parliamentary polls in the state, deepened as the group of MLAs reached the Speaker’s office to put in their papers and later met Governor Vajubhai Vala at the Raj Bhavan. “Fourteen MLAs from Congress and JD(S), including Anand Singh, have submitted resignation from the Assembly to the Speaker,” JD(S) MLA A H Vishwanath said after meeting the Governor. However, Assembly secretariat sources said a total of 13 MLAs have put in their papers, including Singh who submitted his resignation to the Speaker earlier this week. Vishwanath accused the coalition government led by chief minister H.D.

ANPWDFWA reminds govt on pay revision DIMAPUR, JUL 6 (NPN): All Nagaland PWD Field Workers’ Association (ANPWDFWA) has reminded the state government to grant revision of pay and allowances of work charge and casual employees on a par with other categories of employees. In a reminder letter addressed to the chairman Nagaland Work-Charge & Casual Employees Commission, the ANPWDFWA president K Atovi Awomi and general secretary Zubemo Ngullie stated that the state government had not responded to its demand till date. They stated the finance department has already submitted proposal to the higher authority for granting of revision of pay/wages of work-charge employees and casual employees. The association also stated that labour & employment department issued a notification to revise/enhance minimum rates of wages for unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled employees/workers employed in the state of Nagaland. ANPWDFWA contended that the state government was required to implement wages recommended by the Government of India under the provision of Minimum Wages ACT, 1948 and the minimum wages Rules, 1950.

Kumaraswamy of failing in its duty and denied that the BJP was behind the revolt. “ T h e g o ve r n m e n t failed to coordinate with the MLAs...and take them along. It has also failed to live up to the expectations of the people,” he said. On the charge that the BJP was trying to poach MLAs to destabilise the government through “Operation Lotus”, he said it is “a figment of your imagination”. “There is no BJP angle to it. We are all seniors. No operation can happen... we are resigning voluntarily against the apathy of the government,” he said.

The JD(S)-Congress coalition’s total strength, including those who have put in their papers, is 118 (Congress-78, JD(S)-37, BSP-1 and Independents-2), besides the Speaker. The BJP has 105 MLAs in the House. Assembly Speaker Ramesh Kumar, who was not in his office when the legislators went there Saturday, said “whether the government will fall or survive” would be decided “in the Assembly”. Later, Congress MLA Munirathna (Rajarajeshwari Nagar) put in his papers, the Assembly secretariat sources

said. He was also seen with the rebel MLAs outside the Raj Bhavan. As a last-ditch bid, Congress’s “trouble shooter” and Minister D K Shivakumar met the legislators and tried to convince them.

Congress on Saturday launched a blistering attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP, saying that the party had orchestrated the resignations of nearly a dozen legislators in Karnataka, spelling fresh trouble for the ruling coalition. “MODI means Mischievously Orchestrated Defections in India,” Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala told journalists, referencing the Prime Minister’s last name and borrowing his knack for coining acronyms. “It’s very unfortunate that the BJP is trying to bring down a democratically elected government with offers of money and power. Democracy is being denigrated in broad daylight,” the Congress leader said.

USD 5 trn economy goal: PM calls critics ‘professional pessimists’ VARANASI, JUL 6 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi Saturday dismissed as “professional pessimists” the critics of the Centre’s target to achieve a USD 5-trillion economy within the next five years and asserted that the “new India” is on the threshold of sprinting forward. A day after the Union budget was presented by Finance Minister Niramala Sitharaman, the prime minister shared his views on the budget at the launch of the BJP’s membership drive here on the occasion of the 118th birth anniversary of party ideologue Syama Prasad Mookerjee. Modi said his government’s Budget for 2019-20 lays down a roadmap for nearly doubling the size of the Indian economy to USD 5 trillion in five years by raising per capita income, boosting consumption and increasing productivity. “Size of the cake matters. The larger the cake, larger pieces are what people will get. So we have set a target of making India a USD 5-trillion economy. Larger the size of the economy will

be, the larger prosperity will it bring for the country,” he said. Citing global examples, he said countries have leapfrogged from developing to developed status on the back of a jump in per capita income. “India can also do that. The target is not difficult,” he said. Modi said some people are questioning the need for becoming a USD 5-trillion economy. “They are what I call professional pessimists. They are detached from the common man and if you go to them for a solution, they will put you in crisis,” he said, adding while

there should be debate and criticism on ways and means of achieving the goal, but questioning the target of building a USD 5 trillion economy is wrong. “The country needs to be wary of these pessimists,” the prime minister said. Referring to the budgetary provisions, Modi said a “new India” was on the threshold of sprinting forward. Modi while elaborating his views on the budget said it did not have big announcements about allocations made under different heads but laid down a path for the economy to achieve the USD 5-trillion target.

Over 100 houses hit by flood in Dmu Health department monitoring JE in Nagaland Staff Reporter

Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, JUL 6 (NPN): Heavy incessant rains in the wee hours of Saturday inundated over 100 houses in K. Sachu Colony, Dimapur. Talking to Nagaland Post, chairman of K. Sachu, Dziese Sachu informed that half of the colony was flooded due to heavy rains on Saturday around 3 a.m. Even as the water receded by around 10 a.m., Dziese said several kutcha houses were damaged by the flood. With no proper drainage system around Dimapur, he said the overflowing water from Rangapahar area and other parts was one of the root cause. According to reports, Central, Eastern and North Eastern India continues to be affected by the presence of a cyclonic circulation, trough and southwersterly humid winds from the Bay A view of inundated K.

DIMAPUR, JUN 6 (NPN): With 49 deaths due to Japanese Encephalitis (JE) in Assam till July 5, Nagaland’s Health department has allayed fears by pointing out that so far there has been no reported case of JE and dengue in Nagaland till date. This was stated by chief medical officer (CMO) Dimapur, Dr. K Vikato Kinimi, Friday while talking with Nagaland Post. Dr. Kinimi said that the department was closely monitoring the situation and that all preventive measures were being taken. The CMO informed that vaccination for JE was available in all government health units. He also informed that diagnostic services for JE with Elisa kits have been made available in the district hospitals. Dr. Kinimi said that all private hospitals have already been directed to send samples

to the district hospital for confirmatory report. Further, Dr. Kinimi said that in order to prevent risk of “dangerous” JE epidemic, people should take measures in keeping the surrounding clean and get rid of stagnant water to prevent breeding of mosquitoes and also to avoid mosquito bites. The CMO further reminded people that the DMC had issued order on conducting mass social work for removal of stagnant water every Saturday in view of the starting of the transmission period for Vector Borne Disease (Malaria, Dengue and Japanese Encephalitis). According to Dr. Kinimi, in the year 2016, though there were 18 suspected JE cases yet there had been no confirmed case. Again, in 2017, he said of 43 suspected cases, eight were confirmed and two deaths reported. In 2018, he said

out of 25 suspected cases, only one was confirmed but no death reported. CMO said that the preventive measures against JE was to use of insecticide treated bed-net, introduce larvivorous fish in water bodies, clear stagnant water and avoid sleeping near any pigsty. According to Dr. Kimimi other measures such as fogging was not advisable until and unless it was epidemic. JE virus is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected Culex species mosquitoes, particularly Culex tritaeniorhynchus. The virus is maintained in a cycle between mosquitoes and vertebrate hosts, primarily pigs and wading birds. Wild birds are likely to be the natural hosts of JEV, and mosquitoes are the vectors. A vector does not cause disease but passes it on. When mosquitoes infect an animal, the ani-

mal might become a carrier of the virus. When other mosquitoes feed on these animals that have newly acquired the virus, they take it on board and infect other animals. JE virus infection may result in febrile illness of variable severity associated with neurological symptoms ranging from headache to meningitis or encephalitis. Symptoms can include headache, fever, meningeal signs, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, paralysis (generalized), hypertonia, loss of coordination, etc. Transmission can occur year-round, often with a peak during the rainy season. People are at the highest risk in rural areas where the virus is common. Japanese encephalitis is common around towns and cities. It is more likely to affect children because adults in areas where the virus is endemic generally become immune as they get older.

2019-20 Budget without head or tail: NPCC Petrol hiked by Rs 2.45, diesel by Rs 2.36 DIMAPUR, JUL 6 (NPN): Slamming the union as an “extortionist” and “figureless” budget without “head or tails” , Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) president K. Therie , quoting former finance minister P.Chidambaram who asked , whether there had ever been a budget speech where there was no disclosure about total revenue, total expenditure, fiscal deficit, revenue deficit, additional revenue mobilisation or financial concessions?.” He also said the budget did not disclose allocations for important programmes such as MGNREGA, Mid Day Meal scheme, health, scheduled caste and scheduled tribe, women welfare programmes, minorities etc. Instead, Therie said the budget raised taxes on petrol and diesel which will add to the burden on the citizens

as it would lead to rise in cost of essential commodities due to rise in transport charges. Therie also likened the ambitious goal of a “$5 trillion economy by 2025” which he said was another ‘Rs.15 lakh promise’(made in 2014). Therie said expecting a $5trillion economy from private investments without a roadmap to attract investment was blunt He accused the Modi gover nment of having tricked the poorest of the poor to open bank accounts but when the minimum balance could not be maintained, defaulters were penalized with more fines. Therie wondered who would invest in India under the present environment when over 7,000 billionaires of Indian origin alone had fled India in 2017. He said some of those who fled were under trial while private sec-

tors like Kingfisher and Jetairways have closed down. On the other hand, he said over 3 lakh small and medium industries have closed down while unemployment was highest in 45 years. He said the budget offered nothing new except assurances to expand the current schemes while states would face tough times ahead. Therie also noted that Central share of taxes for States appears have been reduced to 23%, if the figure projected by The Times of India was correct. He pointed out that the 14th Finance Commission had increased States’ share in the Union Taxes revenue by 10% thereby giving a record 42%. He said Nagaland appears to be in deep financial crisis while funds have not percolated down to the districts. In view of this, Therie wondered how the state legislators had passed

the 2019-20 Budget? He said it was for the first time in Nagaland that the budget was reduced to Rs. 18,301 crores from the earlier Rs. Rs. 18,303. Normally budget showed a step up of 1525% and it should have reflected in a figure between Rs. 21,048 to 22,000 crores in view of increase in payment of salaries, increments, pensions, allowances, price escalation as per market and additional plan activities. He said even if the state’s plan activities were put to hold, increment, allowances and price escalation cannot be avoided. Therie opined that the impact on general life was going to be tough since the ruling government would not even let a few drops percolate down and lamented that there was no one to cast the first stone nor point a finger.

Manipur farmers demand suitable water policy 3 Muslim youths thrashed, forced to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’ in Barpeta

IMPHAL, Jul 6: In an interesting development, both chief minister N Biren Singh and minister Th Bishwajit Singh believed to the leader of dissident group on Saturday admitted in-fighting within the ruling BJP. The duo said that the discord among the party legislators will be resolved soon and will not be an issue that will be lasted long. The duo were sharing a dias in a party event -BJP’s Grand Launching of Membership Drive -2019 and 118th Birth Anniversary of Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee - held today in Imphal MFDC auditorium. Both the leaders termed the prevailing crisis as “family matter” which will be solved within the family members.Chief minister N Biren Singh said that they were members of a family and to have differences among members of a family was natural. “Such problems occur in my family and your family too. It has to be resolved by the members of the family. The differences in the party will be sorted out K Y M C

implementation for many years. He said that while the chief minister and concern minister went on talking about government’s step to combat drought, the situation faced by the farmers got worse day by day with no water in their fields. He lamented that even in this advance scientific age, the farmers of the state were

still depending on monsoon rain while strongly condemning lack of long term policy of the government and urged for a sustainable policy. He also expressed concern over the internal crisis over power tussle in the BJP-led coalition government while people are at the threshold of their woes with the delay in the arrival of monsoon rain.

Despite the differences, we will join hands together to serve the people. We are serving the people together,” he added. He then pointed to the party workers gathering at the event and said there was the need for a collective effort of party leaders and workers not to lose the confidence being kept by the people to the party. “Once lost, it will be hard to bring the confidence of the people back,” he said. He claimed the collective effort of the party leaders and members had defeated the party that was in power for 15 years, without mentioning directly the Congress, the party he once belonged to and now out of power by the BJP. IPR minister Th Bishwajit who also addressed the occasion said he belongs to BJP and BJP is a family. “There may be differences and issues from time

to time within the family but family matter are usually not last long only as it will be settled soon, he said. Keeping aside the differences, the need of the hour of the party was to joind hands and work for a better future, he added. He stressed the need for working together hard to ensure 20% increase in number of party membership from the current over five lakh members. If the target was not achieved, the forthcoming organisational election cannot be conducted, he said. To d ay ’s e ve n t i n which minister Bishwajit shared dais with the chief minister would be the first time since the eruption of dissident group within the party legislators over power tussle. Bishwajit who is projected as the leader of the dissident group demanding replacement of Biren as chief minister has been skipping all the functions since the revolt started. He even stayed away two times from attending cabinet meeting convened by the chief minister. Taking note of the

financial crunch the state witnessed after the RBI imposed a ban of all transaction from Manipur government’s account following overdraft, the chief minister had even removed power and works portfolios from Bishwajit. While removing the two portfolios, the chief minister had even blamed the two departments for withdrawing huge amount while Model Code of Conduct for Lok Sabha election was still enforced. The move of the chief minister had deepened the crisis within the ruling party and most of the dissident MLAs were still camping in New Delhi waiting for a decision of the national leaders of the party. Besides, the chief minister and IPD minister, today’s party event was attended by national BJP ST Morcha president and Lok Sabha MP Ramvichar Netam, state BJP president MP K Bhabananda, forest minister Th Shyamkumar, education minister Th Radheshyam Singh and some other MLAs. Some ministers from the party and MLAs were absent from the event.

“It is not the time to race for power during such crisis and is not in the interest of the people and the farmers”, Ajit condemned. He said that water policy is a must for the state and it will be an easy task for the government to find solution regarding water scarcity on the farm lands as there are many big dams besides the rivers.

CCTV in all Delhi govt schools by Nov: Kejriwal

Nanda Devi: Body of team leader not found NAINITAL, JUL 6 (PTI): Noted British mountaineer Martin Moran who led the 8 member team that perished on way to the Nanda Devi East peak was the lone climber of the group whose body could not be found. The fact emerged after the identification of the 7 bodies recovered from the western ridge of the peak was completed on Saturday, Nainital District Magistrate Savin Bansal said. Moran was a wellknown mountaineer who had already scaled the peak twice in the past. The 8 member team was reported missing on May 25 but it took the ITBP nearly 1 month to retrieve 7 bodies from the western ridge of the peak on June 23 after a massive operation often hampered by inclement weather. While the body of Indian Mountaineering Foundation liaison officer Chetan Pandey, who was part of the team, was identified by relatives on Wednesday itself the remaining six were identified on Saturday. Those identified today included John Charles McLaren, Richard Payne and Rupert James Whewell from Britain, Anthony Edward Sudekum and Ronald Isaac Beimel from the US and Ruth Margaret Mc Cance, the lone woman mountaineer of the group from Australia, he said.

minister said the initiative will help improve results of Delhi government schools next year. “There will be no privacy breach, children go to school for education, to learn discipline and become good citizens of the country... they do not go there for

anything private,” he said. Kejriwal said the CCTVs will ensure direct answerability of the government towards people. “We would not provide live feed to the parents if the schools were not running properly,” he said, adding that the cameras will also

ensure children’s safety and instil discipline in them. He said his government has struggled against misinformation campaign of the opposition parties against the project. Parents of children studying in Delhi government schools will be able

to get live feed of the CCTV cameras through ‘DGS Live’ app which can be downloaded from Google Play Store. After downloading the app, they will receive an SMS from the government control room. They will be able to access live classroom feed after proper verification. Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said Shaheed Hemu Kalani Sarvodaya Bal Vidyalaya has become the country’s first government school to have CCTV camera coverage. He interacted with a few parents who supported the move. Citing various benefits of the CCTV cameras, he claimed students and teachers also supported the move. As part of the project, two CCTV cameras will be installed in each classroom. Entire school premises, barring the washrooms, will be under 360 degree coverage of the cameras and their feed will be monitored from a control room.

Ex-BJP MP Solanki, 6 others held guilty of killing RTI activist

Dinu Solanki (File)

AHMEDABAD, JUL 6 (PTI): Former BJP MP Dinu Solanki and six others were Saturday convicted by a special CBI court here for killing RTI activist Amit Jethwa in 2010 as he tried to expose illegal mining activities in Gir forest region. Special CBI judge K M Dave will pronounce the quantum of sentence on July 11 in the case, where the probe was handed over

to the central agency by the Gujarat High Court after the Detection of Crime Branch had given a clean chit to Solanki. The court held Solanki, who had represented Junagadh in Gujarat from 2009 to 2014, along with his cousin Shiva Solanki and five others guilty on charges of murder and criminal conspiracy under the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

Jethwa was shot dead outside the Gujarat High Court on July 20, 2010 after he tried to expose illegal mining activities allegedly involving Dinu Solanki through RTI applications. Jethwa had filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the HC against illegal mining in the Gir forest region, the habitat of Asiatic lions. Charges of murder and criminal conspiracy were framed against the seven accused, including Dinu Solanki, in May 2016. Other accused convicted in the case are Shailesh Pandya, Bahadursinh Vadher, Panchan Desai, Sanjay Chauhan and Udaji Thakore. The high court had ordered a fresh trial after the victim’s father Bhikhabhai Jethwa approached it saying that as many as 105 witnesses had turned hostile due to pressure and intimidation by the accused.

Modi (48) is wanted in India as the main accused in the Punjab National Bank (PNB) fraud and money laundering case amounting up to USD 2 billion. Presiding Officer

Deepak Thakkar, who holds additional charge of DRT, Mumbai, passed two orders in two cases in favour of the PNB. “Defendant and his partners are ordered and directed to pay to applicant (PNB) either jointly or severally the aggregate sum of Rs 7029,06,87,950.65 with interest of 14.30 per cent per annum from June 30, 2018,” stated the DRT order. Passing another order, the judge directed Modi and others to pay Rs 232,15,92,636 to PNB with

interest 16.20 per cent from July 27, 2018. An official from the tribunal said the recovery officers with DRT will initiate further action.

HYDERABAD, JUL 6 (PTI): AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has said the Centre should come out with a law against lynching and wondered why such legislation was not brought out despite a Supreme Court suggestion to frame one. Addressing a meeting here on Friday against lynchings, Owaisi accused the Sangh Parivar of spreading hatred and false propaganda against the Muslims, adding that it had resulted in such incidents.

"You read their literature... What has Deendayal Upadhyaya (RSS ideologue) written in the theory of integral humanism? What has he written about Muslims? You read it," he said. The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) leader, who spoke at length about the lynching of Tabrez Ansari, alleged that the perpetrators of the incident were terrorists. Ansari, 24, died after he was allegedly tied to a pole and thrashed with sticks by

a mob in Jharkhand's Seraikela Kharsawan district last month on the suspicion of theft. The newly-married youth was purportedly seen in a video being forced to chant "Jai Shri Ram" and "Jai Hanuman". Owaisi asked whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi would call those who killed Ansari terrorists. "Why dont you frame a law, Mr Modi? Why cannot such a law be brought out when the Supreme Court had told you to do so?" he

asked. In July last year, the Supreme Court had asked the Parliament to consider enacting a new law to effectively deal with incidents of mob lynching, saying "horrendous acts of mobocracy" cannot be allowed to become a new norm. Referring to the budget, Owaisi said he also wanted to see India become a superpower and a USD 5-trillion economy, but wondered whether it could be achieved if hatred was spread against the Muslims.

NE W D E L HI , J U L 6 (PTI): Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Saturday launched a project for CCTV camera installation in all government schools in the city, saying it will be a “historic milestone”. Launching the project at Shaheed Hemu Kalani Sarvodaya Bal Vidyalaya in Lajpat Nagar, Kejriwal said over 1,000 Delhi government schools will be equipped with CCTV cameras by November this year. Private schools have already been directed to install CCTV cameras, he said, adding that they will be “strictly” asked to implement the order. “It’s a historic milestone in school education in the country and the world as live feed from classrooms will be provided to parents on their mobile phones through an app,” Kejriwal said.

f at all there is any explanation for the union budget presented on Friday by India’s first woman finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman, Congress leader Jyortiraditya Scindia described it as “ more of intent and low on content’. Of course, every opposition have their opportunity to issue their subjective certificates on every government budget. Nirmala Sitharaman has been conservative about bringing in far reaching blueprint to spur the India’s not so healthy economy. Her prescription for the ailing economy ranged from resisting resisted calls for a fiscal boost to spur a weakening economy, and sticking instead to a plan to narrow the budget deficit over time by keeping spending in check. To discourage the practice of making business payments in cash, the government proposes to levy TDS of 2% on cash withdrawal exceeding Rs.1 crore in a year from a bank account. The fiscal deficit target for the year that began on April 1 was lowered to 3.3 per cent of gross domestic product from 3.4 per cent set in February’s interim plan. The deficit is forecast to come down even further to 3 per cent of GDP by March 2021. However, for those in the print media, the Modi –II government’s budget which proposes a 10 per cent hike in customs duty on newsprint, would certainly be like a mortal blow for small and medium newspapers especially those in the economically backward region like the north east. The hike will certainly add to the already high cost of inputs and could spell the end of many small struggling newspapers. The budget announced a 10 per cent customs duty on newsprint and 5 per cent import duty on printed books. In addition to this, imported newsprint, the uncoated paper used for printing of newspapers and lightweight coated paper used for magazines would now attract 10 per cent customs duty. Previously, there was no import duty on newsprint. The hike in customs duty would affect the Indian newspaper industry, which had already been struggling with high newsprint prices after China decided to stop production of newsprint. In January last year, China banned the low-quality paper on which newspapers are printed in an aggressive push to combat pollution in the country. It would also mean that big newspapers that are making inroads into the north east would emerge as key players. The other common feature shared by journalists of almost all the north-eastern States is that they work in hazardous conditions due to militant/terrorist activities in some of the north-eastern States. Despite limited revenues, the newspaper industry in the region have been playing their role in contributing to the development of national awareness in the region. The other discouraging aspect of the budget has been the hike in excise duty and cess on petrol and diesel, respectively, by Re 1 per litre. This increase in petrol and diesel prices will result in a rise in the cost of essential items and transport costs for the common man. The hikes will add to the already high cost of items and will also offset the variables. While seeking to raise Rs.50 lakh crore as revenues for the Indian Railways through private participation, the proposal was like handing over the common man’s transport system to rich people. The net effect of Sitharaman’s budget will be put to test on whether it will actually spur overall growth or confined to promoting schemes.

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

sight of the Prototype of unity in culture Keeping climate change B T y historical nature Naga people love their culture which they believe culture is the primary identity, rich culture, saving culture, preserving culture. However, in praxis the people had demolished the culture to almost total extinction. The Naga missionaries and evangelists spearheaded in demolishing Naga culture during the emergence of the foreign religion-(Christianity), remains the undeniable history. The history of cultural demolition continually exists in the present Naga generation. In addition, the search of development and modernity has left the culture behind. The cultural fragmentation and complexity grow stronger day by day and the social unity through culture continues to die. The article prototyped people of Mizoram from North East India and Javanese people in Indonesia, to explain the significant role of culture that unites people based on preservation of culture and its value. The recent initiative of the Government of Mizoram delineates that tradition and culture strongly “helps in forming the structure and foundation of families and society”. It shapes people’s characters based on the embracement of the people in the current society. (Govt. of Mizoram. 17th June, 2019). This is an eye opener or threshold for the Naga indigenous people to retrospect on the importance of practicing culture than knowing culture. Regardless of everyday massive changes of society from the western world influences, Javanese people in Indonesia develop the strong theory of “Think Globally and Act Locally” to give more importance to their culture to sustain in the modern society through practicing food culture, way of life that transfer from the fore-parents. The strong bond of culture among the Javanese people can be found explicitly at local market, family gathering, and most importantly, people of this

community happily in unity wear dresses made of traditional fabric on every Friday at offices, schools, churches, Mosques and other places. Similarly, Government of Mizoram had recently adopted that employees in all Government and private sectors are encouraged to wear their traditional, cultural and ethnic attires at work place once in a week. Culture unites people if well preserved, valued and respected. For instance, despite numerous countries and languages exist among the European Commission; the EC focuses on developing language which unites all and live in peace. EC indicates language as the strongest culture that unites them (Macmillan. 2013). Similarly, the early Naga people remained united through culture and tradition. The unity through culture among them had built strong society and community. Language, costume, behaviors, common sense, clan, food and so on, built the automatic social system to know each other better and bring people closer as one origin. Sadly, this decade local culture is sold out to foreign religion (American Baptist Christianity) between 1874 to until now and the last piece culture is sold out to modernity. Living with strong decade culture today is not savage or uncivilized which people often codified it. It rather inscribes the strength of communities of the history of origin, identity and culture which remains a trophy of pride. People mostly believe that western theory of peace building brings unity in society and give less importance to the power and strength of indigenous tradition and culture that unite people throughout the history of existence. In search of the modern unity, they have abandoned and relinquished the indigenous methods of living in unity i.e ‘Unity in Culture’. In the past people in rural areas built houses with the help of

almost the entire villagers within a week without any cost. They lived the life of unity through supporting and helping culture. Such occasion provided moments to bring people together, to unite through working together culture. People had the culture of rotation for harvest in group without any cost. This culture abrogated stress, frustration and anxiety among families in the field of accomplishing works for livelihood. Such ‘Unity in Culture’ is also existed and continues to exist among the ancient Greeks, their distinctive artistic, artworks and artifacts identify their origin and keep them united (Macmillan. 2018). However, ‘Unity in Culture’ among the current Naga people, at rural and urban areas is extricated. People hire fellow villagers to harvest, build houses and other manual works unlike the former unity in work culture. Their culture of the Javanese people like greetings, respecting elders, serving traditional food, wearing traditional cloths, sustaining traditional mode of transportation and distinctive language culture, strengthen and support one another to do better in day to day life. As a result, they respect, love and preserve culture that unites them. Similarly, Naga people can preserve the culture to sustain unity without ignoring own culture to a secondary concern. If Nagas fail to do good things like neighboring States do in preserving culture, Nagas can learn from them than indulging in argument and debate. Neighboring State like Manipur, Meghalaya and Mizoram have language culture that unites the people but Nagas continue to struggle to identify which culture unites them when almost all traditions and culture are dying. Naga people neither have language nor preserved other culture and tradition to unite the community. Dr. Lemwang Chuhwanglim Researcher, Mon Email: lemswang@gmail.com

Studies (GISS) took it on Twitter that “the five warmest years on Earth have all occurred since 2010.” The GISS on conducting a recent temperature analysis estimated that the average global temperature on Earth has increased by about 0.8° Celsius (1.4° Fahrenheit) since 1880. Two-thirds of the warming has occurred since 1975, at a rate of roughly 0.150.20° C per decade. The warming up of the ecosystem on the growth of plant species has also an epic receding implications. The effects of climate change on plant growth will likely vary by region, with northern areas in places like Russia, China and Canada gaining growing days. But already hot tropical regions could lose as many as 200 growing days per year. According to a UN report: temperatures would rise by 1.5° C between 2030 - 2050 if the world continues pacing over-exploitation of fossil fuels and neglect. Another study published on the 26th of December 2018, by a team of climate researchers indicated that global temperatures would increase by 2-3 degree Celsius, once it hits the 2030 chronological benchmark. There is a decent chance the slightly different metrics do not eliminate the lethal arrival of climatic anomalies with increasing commercializing. Our adequacy and consistency to wrap around the data with optimal ‘time-events’–reckoning, holds the key to salvage little of what’s left of time against the fuelling berserker, in genuine and efficient—original— controlled effect.

Internet & social networking - the modern morung

he human world has largely demonstrated frames of astonishing revelatory journey since the dawning of modern age spurring out from industrial revolution. The global cultural trends merged which in turn refracted our perceptual process of understanding of the world in and around. This process has been engineered to our need of venturing and scouting for habitat, for dominance and control of our own survival sources. It peaked on our civilization the emergence of internet and the platforms it offers on constant networking contraptions. We have attained pedestals of high yielding networking made viable exclusively through the internet and social networking sites. The emerging demographic cohort of generations -- the millennials and generation z have been fazed out ostensibly in conventional labels to have been puppeteered by the corporations for cornering their market and the inactive aspects of social adequacies associated with the increasing virtualization of networking. The

list goes on how the internet has robbed off the innocence of ignorance and oblivious harmony that comes with the package. It also impacts on the chemical composition of mood swings which is inextricable frequently on our regular day lives. We tend to check our Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram etc. notifications on a nearconstant basis because the anticipation of a response/ virtual socializing spikes the cortisol level to infuriate a quick dispatch in addressing promptly. Internet might have outlandishly replaced the previous decades’ peer activities that had a nonlinear audience so to speak, but this hasn’t diminished aficionados and enthusiasts who take interest in their craving of activities like athletics, music, acting, art etc. On the bright side it has introduced immensely the users on a whole new paradigm of interaction and communication not limited to subliminal development of pattern recognition in the neural network which leads to concise interpretation of facts and shaping of opin-

ions that are impartial. Indeed, social networking sites and the peer reviewed journals ubiquitously listed on the internet have endorsed us with concise diction and terms that connects polarizing concepts, all encompassing patterns and armoured our easily gullible and deceivable eyes from archaic and monotonous narratives and contracted designs that limits premise and comprehension. It is no longer a feat that’s conveniently possible to pull off by posting conjectures, purple prose, antinomy and fallacious content in the social networking sites or blogs. With the amount of information accessible at the press of a click it is not a ravishing fashion unheard of, moderating and debunking almost instantaneously inherently false information on online forums and groups. Playing the role of an ad hominem and strawman are out rightly discarded from the conversations on various topics. Our expressions are also richly reacted with gifs and memes to proportionally channel our feel and attitude over

the instance. It is not uncommon many ear n their bread through online portals that are not locally positioned from where the user operates. This feature allows the user to save the trouble of having immigrated and the liabilities it compiles forth almost like a non regional protagonist with a mileage. “Aloha” with the advent of hyperloop when the world closely scales towards progressive globalization, maybe that’s when stringently-certain employment space in residential sources of output could shrink... or ...with the striding of virtual reality (VR), we might just be bracing for an unprecedented universe to unfold in networking. Without striking any obnoxious impulses ideally through this format of circumventing the variables, internet and social networking has taken vital form of a modern day’s morung where the youth and all generations alike are exposed to authentic information and medium of communication depending on how an individual interprets and

Rain water harvesting most sustianable

E

he concept of climate change is steadily turning into a vital social imperative in recent unfolding of events. Many individuals (SJWs) and the media outlets, with gleaning scientific data, through their own network or by disseminating it through the database over the Internet keeps the people informed on this. The valuable information acts as a medium for us to identify the highly problematic shifts in climate with our clear reckoning noggins, thus it holds true in mounting degrees. As closely we identify the deterioration of climate is increasing, the more evidence we find climate change is abruptly worsening, holds water. NASA’s own James Hansen, made a statement “global warming has begun”–and predicted it only just gets worse and worse as levels of carbon causing pollution keeps rising... three decades ago. The redacted primary data - points toward what could be worthwhile information, with its easy access, but as a part of global civilization, our experiences on increasing climate change can be sizely detected spot-on— once we summarize filling in the breadcrumbs of data—and binary micro-concepts into the whole picture. Hansen, who was the director of GISS 30 years back, illustrated how humans have been enhancing the natural greenhouse effect by burning fossil fuels, sending billions of tons of heat trapping CO2 into the air. That’s why temperatures have been climbing in recent years and over the longer term, he explained. Earlier in 2018, NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space

very drop of rain water is like blessings of God to the people on the earth. Fresh rain water falls on the ground like pearls, so everyone should understand the importance of rain water especially in developing regions and rural areas lack of natural water resources. We should try to collect rain water without wasting through rooftops and along streets run off. We should bring our old traditional harvesting practices using new and effective technologies to make easy water supply in all the regions. As only

hand pumps, wells, and other resources of groundwater levels cannot fulfill the potable water need of hundreds of thousands of people. Rainwater harvesting is the most sustainable and effective way for many years to make water available in the areas lacking water. Rainwater harvesting is very low cost method along with lots of benefits. It helps in various purposes like household works, field irrigation, livestock, agriculture and animal husbandry. It helps in rejuvenating the groundwater levels

in both directly and indirectly manner. Groundwater level can be replenished by rain water harvesting methods of trenches, anicut, dug wells, contour, etc whereas other rain water harvesting methods like underground water tanks, ponds, etc help in reducing the use of groundwater for at least four to six months. It is very effective in the hilly regions and desert regions of the India and other countries. More and clean rain water can be collected in the rainy season by making large and clean water body.

Rahul gets bail in another defamation case

(From p-1)

He said most citizens of the state were self dependent and involved with agriculture activities, with few or no landless fellow citizens. He said by God’s grace, people have been able get two square meals daily and for this reason “we are not serious about state budget.” He lamented that many still think the state budget or state exchequer belongs to the government and not to the public. With cuts or percentage deductions in project costs considered normal, Therie said that whoever could cut more are appreciated as capable leaders. However, he said the masses were yet to understand the State Exchequer consists of public tax. “The masses do not know we are paying tax on every item we buy from the market. The masses are yet to understand Government is by the people, for the people, of the people,” he stated.

next date of hearing in the case. “We did not oppose his bail. The court explained to him the accusation against him and asked whether he pleaded guilty,” Prasad told PTI. “The respondent replied in the negative and the matter was posted for further hearing on August 8.” Before leaving the court premises, Gandhi told

a swarm of reporters waiting for a sound byte that he would continue to fight for the country’s poor. “I am committed to fighting for the country’s poor, farmers and workers. I have come here to express my solidarity with them,” he said. “Whoever is raising his voice against the Modi government, against the

BJP-RSS combine is being targeted through court cases. But my fight will continue.” Earlier in the day, Gandhi said he would appear the court for a case filed by his “political opponents” in the BJP-RSS to “harass and intimidate” him. Gandhi was slapped with the defamation suit by Sushil Modi in April for his remark: “why all thieves have the surname Modi?”. The comment was an obvious reference to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, absconding bank-fraud accused Nirav Modi and former Indian Premier League commissioner Lalit Modi. The deputy chief minister had moved the court alleging that he was personally anguished by Gandhi’s remarks since he shared the same surname. The former Congress chief ’s appearance in the Patna court comes two days

after he and CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury, pleaded not guilty in a Mumbai court in another defamation case filed against them by an RSS worker. Upon arrival at the airport, Gandhi was received by senior leaders, including state Congress president Madan Mohan Jha. He drove straight to the court premises, around seven kilometres away. The court premises was cordoned off by the police since morning following a review of security arrangements by the Special Protection Group on the previous day.Scores of Congress workers were seen staging a demonstration outside the court premises demanding that Gandhi withdraw his resignation from the post of the party president, a step he took owning moral responsibility for the Lok Sabha poll debacle.

G U WA H AT I , J U L 6 (IANS): With reports of 49 deaths and 190 positive cases of Japanese Encephalitis (JE), the Assam government has kept on hold leaves for all doctors and paramedical staff across the state, Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Saturday. Sarma said that any kind of emergency leave will however, be granted only with the prior approval of the Deputy Commissioners (DC). “Unauthorised absence from the place of posting even after duty hours will be treated seriously amounting to criminal dereliction of duty,” he said, adding that all Additional Deputy Commissioners, Joint Director (JD), District Medical Officer (DMO) will compulsorily tour affected areas

regularly along with visiting of at least two hospitals per week. The minister has also instructed the state’s Principal Secretary, Department of Health and Family Welfare, to hold a weekly review conference with all DCs and JDs to ensure the vigil continues. According to Sarma, the 49 deaths were reported from January till July 5. He said that the state was currently undergoing a transmission season for JE, adding that all the districts of Assam except Kokrajhar are currently under the influence of the virus. Sarma said that the situation was under close watch and all preventive measures were being taken. “The vaccination for JE through the routine immunization for children is currently going on regularly.

Realizing the importance of adult vaccination was done in 20 districts during 201617 where the coverage was about 68 per cent,” he said adding that there is a need for adult vaccination mop up to prevent the outbreak in all the remaining districts. Giving details about the state’s response to deal with the crisis, Sarma said that 12.8 lakhs blood slides have been collected and diagnostic services for JE were already available in all district hospitals and medical colleges. “After the identification of JE cases, the affected areas are covered extensively for awareness generation, intensified fogging operation. A total of 1,094 effected villages have been covered through intensified fogging operations already.”

New Delhi, Jul 6 (PTI): The government has increased disinvestment target to over Rs 1 lakh crore for the current financial year, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said while unveiling final Union Budget 2019-20 today. In February this year, the government while presenting the Interim Budget 2019-20 had pegged the disinvestment target of Rs 90,000 crore. Strategic disinvestment of select public sector undertakings will remain a priority area, she said. The government proposed to enhance the disinvestment target to Rs 1.05 lakh crore for the current financial year, she said.

Reserve Bank of India in the coming times and the Budget has addressed the issue of NBFCs adequately, she added. “We have come up with comprehensive solutions in the Budget. We shall be closely monitoring with the RBI to see how it (the situation) is moving so strictly speaking, I feel the NBFC issue has been addressed,” she said, while asserting that it should not be seen as being ended. “I cannot say it (the NBFC crisis) has come to a closure. I cannot say it has ended. I cannot say the problem is over and I can look and spare. I am not saying that. We will still be

ing assets of NBFCs via securitisation to help liquidity-starved ones to remain in business. The RBI also chipped in by tweaking banks’ bondholding norms, and said government securities of up to 1 per cent of the deposit base could now be considered high-quality assets under Basel III norms. This will allow banks to borrow an additional Rs 1.34 trillion exclusively for buying such pooled assets and giving loans to NBFCs. However, experts say it is unlikely that mutual funds will start increasing their allocations towards NBFCs even though the Budget proposes certain steps to ease the stress. The NBFC crisis started last year due to the default by IL&FS leading to credit squeeze, over-leveraging, excessive concentration, massive mismatch between assets and liabilities. Banks had started to stop refinancing NBFCs.

In the 2019-20 Budget, liquidity tap were opened for NBFCs, with the government announcing it will partially guarantee high-quality pooled assets of NBFCs and the RBI opening an indirect liquidity window to aid banks to give funds to the “important” sector, which is on the verge of collapse. NBFCs play “an extremely important role in sustaining consumption demand as well as capital formation in small and medium industrial segment”, Sitharaman had said in her maiden Budget speech on Friday. Therefore, NBFCs that are fundamentally sound should continue to get funding from banks and mutual funds, she said. She proposed the government encourage public sector banks to buy highrated pooled assets of up to Rs 1 trillion of financially sound NBFCs, for which the government will provide a one-time six-month partial credit guarantee for the first loss of up to 10 per cent.

interchangeable and allow those who do not have PAN to file Income Tax returns by simply quoting their Aadhaar number and also use it wherever they are required to quote PAN.” Of the over 41 crore PANs issued, 22 crore have been linked to Aadhaar. Section 139 AA (2) of the Income Tax Act says that every person having PAN as on July 1, 2017, and eligible to obtain Aadhaar, must intimate his Aadhaar number to the tax authorities. After the Supreme Court upheld Section 139AA of the I-T Act, the government in March extended the deadline for linking PAN with biometric ID Aadhaar by six months till September 30. However, quoting of Aadhaar is mandatory for filing income tax returns (ITRs), following the Supreme Court order. The apex court, in September last year, had declared the Centre’s flagship Aadhaar scheme as constitutionally valid and held that the biometric ID would remain mandatory for filing of I-T returns and allotment of PAN.

New Delhi, Jul 6 (IANS): Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday said the non-banking finance company (NBFC) sector crisis has plateaued but not ended yet and her ministry will monitor the emerging situation with the RBI, a day after she announced a slew of measures to address the lending concerns of the NBFCs. “The assessment and inputs that are coming about NBFCs... since it is caused by various different factors like liquidity, governance or insolvency, largely it (the NBFC crisis) reached a peak in terms of challenges that they are facing... the problem probably is not over yet but it can only plateau, rather than worsen even if you want to put it at the worst. The deteriorating situation has bottomed out,” she said in a post-Budget interaction. Sitharaman said the NBFC crisis might improve after some time and the process is on. “If anything, it can only now improve or it is going to plateau for some time and then probably improve. So the picture that’s given to me that it is bottomed out...,” she said. The Finance Ministry would monitor the emerging situation along with the

Pandey said, “There also you can use Aadhaar”. In order to curb black money, quoting of PAN is mandatory for cash transactions, such as hotel or foreign travel bills, exceeding Rs 50,000. PAN is also mandatory on purchase of immovable property of over Rs 10 lakh. While Aadhaar is backed by biometric data of individuals, there have been several instances of people quoting a wrong PAN or obtaining a PAN number fraudulently. On whether PAN will be phased out, he said that would not happen as people would have a choice to either quote PAN or Aadhaar wherever required. “Because there are some people who are comfortable on PAN,” he said. “So PAN and Aadhaar both will exist because some people may prefer to use Aadhaar, some people may prefer to use PAN. But at the back end, for every PAN there will be an Aadhaar.” Sitharaman in her Budget speech on Friday said for the ease and convenience of tax payers, “I propose to make PAN and Aadhaar

Kolkata, Jul 6 (PTI): The tea industry, under the aegis of Indian Tea Association (ITA), has urged the Finance ministry for exemption from imposition of two per cent TDS on cash withdrawals exceeding Rs one crore from banks in a year as proposed in the budget for 2019-20. Indian Tea Association in a statement said that there are inadequate banking facilities in the tea growing areas for which the workers are largely paid in cash. The tea body said that the imposition of two per cent TDS would compromise with the liquidity position of the tea estates. Indian Tea Association said that the Finance minister announced that the multiple labour laws would be streamlined in a set of four Labour Codes. The tea body said that the wages paid to the tea garden workers were both in cash and in kind. “The Code on wages has proposed a national minimum wage. It is urged that due recognition be given to the wages paid in kind to the workers by the management”, it said.

New Delhi, Jul 6 (PTI): India’s national biometric ID Aadhaar can now be quoted for cash transactions of more than Rs 50,000 and all other purposes where traditionally income tax PAN number was a must, according to a top official. Banks and other institutions will make backend upgrades to allow acceptance of Aadhaar in all places where quoting PAN is now mandatory, Revenue Secretary Ajay Bhushan Pandey said Saturday. This follows the Budget allowing interchangeability of PAN and Aadhaar for ease of compliance of taxpayers. “Today you have 22 crore PAN cards which are linked to Aadhaar. You have more than 120 crore people who have Aadhaar. Then supposing somebody wants PAN, he has to first use Aadhaar, generate PAN and then start using it. With Aadhaar the advantage would be he now does not have to generate PAN. So this is a great convenience,” he said. Asked if Aadhaar can be used for deposit or withdrawal of cash worth more than Rs 50,000 from bank accounts in place of PAN,

Jeremy Hunt reiterates FTA with India

London, Jul 6 (PTI): Britain’s prime ministerial candidate Jeremy Hunt has reached out to the Indian diaspora to boost his chances against Boris Johnson, reiterating his plans to strengthen the “incredibly important” bilateral ties and strike a post-Brexit Free Trade Agreement. The 52-year-old UK foreign secretary, who is going head to head with former foreign secretary Johnson, wrote to the Conservative Friends of India (CFIN), saying he looks forward to engaging with India. He reiterated his plans to further strengthen the “incredibly important” IndiaUK relationship and strike a post-Brexit Free Trade Agreement (FTA). “I look forward to engaging with India to negotiate a free trade agreement following Britain’s exit from the European Union later this year,” Hunt said in a letter addressed to the CFIN membership. “Given the closeness of our two countries, I hope and expect we will be able to agree this very soon,” he said.

Jeremy Hunt (File) CFIN, co-chaired by British-Indian businessman Rami Ranger and Conservative Party MP Zac Goldsmith, promotes closer ties between the ruling Conservative Party and India. As it is made up of the Tory party membership base, CFIN members will be among the nearly 166,000 voters set to cast their postal ballot to elect a new party leader who will go on to become Britain’s Prime Minister on July 23. “With 1,451,862 British people of Indian-origins living in the UK and close to 150,000 British people living in India, the ongoing relationship between our two countries is incredibly important,” notes Hunt, in the letter issued this week.

The senior Conservative Party leader hailed the “living bridge” of the Indian diaspora between India and the UK and pledged that as Prime Minister, he would look forward to working with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his new agenda, especially on areas such as building climate resilience and improving the ease of doing business. “As Prime Minister, I would ensure that our relationship continues to expand, as both countries work together for mutual benefit, creating prosperity, championing the rulesbased international system and working together to address common threats and challenges. “Both India and the UK have major roles to play in a safe and secure world, and our focus should be on the future, working to sustain and build a flourishing partnership,” he said. Quoting some statistics, he pointed out that almost 20,000 Indian students came to the UK last year and that the numbers are now over 70 per cent higher compared to just two years

earlier in 2016. He added: “Skilled workers from India in 2018 increased at the fastest rate for any country. We still issue more skilled work visas to Indians than to the rest of the world combined. “Under my leadership, Britain will continue to be a global, outward-looking, tolerant country”. Hunt and Johnson are both conducting a series of hustings up and down the UK in an attempt to woo enough votes from the Conservative Party membership. Hunt will host a ‘Telephone Town Hall’ on Sunday and invited all CFIN members to connect with him directly during the session. Postal ballots are set to be issued to all Tory party members across the UK by Monday, with polls set to close by 5 PM on July 22 after which the counting process will begin for the result to be declared the next day. The new leader is unlikely to move into the Downing Street right away, with a handover process set to take place between May and the new incumbent.

Babylon gets Unesco World Heritage status

Iraq has been lobbying since 1983 for the 4,000-year-old site to be added to the UN’s prestigious list.

United Nations, Jul 6 (IANS): The ancient Mesopotamian city of Babylon has been declared a Unesco World Heritage Site. Iraq has been lobbying since 1983 for the 4,000-year-old site to be added to the UN’s prestigious list. Announcing its decision, Unesco said: “Seat of successive empires, under rulers such as Hammurabi and Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon represents the expression of the creativity of the NeoBabylonian Empire at its height,” the BBC reported

on Friday. “The city’s association with one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World -- the Hanging Gardens -- has also inspired artistic, popular and religious culture on a global scale.” It also warns that the site is in an “extremely vulnerable condition” and in need of urgent conservation. The city was famous for its Hanging Gardens, which were among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The site has suffered in recent years - first from the

construction of a palace for Saddam Hussein, and later from being used as a base for US troops. The UN World Heritage Committee met in Azerbaijan to decide on the latest sites to be given the honour - awarded to areas or landmark considered important for the whole of humanity and protected by international treaties. The Iraqi delegation welcomed the designation, seeing it as a recognition of the significance of Babylon and Mesopotamian civilisation.

Alaska hits record temperatures amid heatwave Washington, Jul 6 (IANS): A new record high temperature of 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius) has been set in the US state of Alaska, part of which lies inside the Arctic Circle. The new temperature in Alaska’s Anchorage city on Thursday topped the previous record set at Anchorage International Airport of 85 degrees Fahrenheit on June 14, 1969, the US Weather Service tweeted. The state’s most populous city, which boasts a population of roughly 300,000 people, Anchorage also had its hottest June ever, with an average temperature for the month of 60.5 degrees (5.3 degrees above normal). Alaska had earlier broken records throughout a hot spring, particularly in the Arctic zone which is especially sensitive to fluctuations in climate. The dramatic warming Alaska has experienced in recent years is linked partly to a decline in sea ice and Arctic Ocean warming.

held for the long life of His Holiness,” a Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) spokesperson told IANS. Releasing a statement on the occasion, the Tibetan parliament thanked the Indian government and its people for extending assistance to the Tibetan people. The statement said it had been 60 years since Tibet was forcefully annexed by China, resulting in the Dalai Lama and thousands of Tibetans fleeing into exile. “The government and people of India with whom Tibet had deep cultural ties since ancient times have been most generous in extending every possible assistance and facilities to the Tibetan people during this difficult time,” it said. Born on July 6, 1935, at Taktser hamlet in northeastern Tibet, the Dalai Lama was recognised at the age of two as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama, Thubten Gyatso.

Washington, Jul 6 (IANS): US Senator Kamala Harris, riding a wave of support after her performance in the first presidential debate, raised nearly $12 million in the second quarter of the year which ended on June 30, her campaign has announced.

Numerous responses on Roberge’s Friday Twitter post pointed out that Yousafzai - who opposed the Taliban’s efforts to ban schooling for girls in her native Pakistan - wouldn’t be legally permitted to teach in Quebec schools while wearing a headscarf under his government’s “Bill 21”. “Did you tell her that in Quebec, women dressed like Malala do not have access to certain jobs in the public service? Thanks to your government,” one Twitter user said. “You hypocrite. You wouldn’t let her become a teacher here in Quebec - you can’t score points by posing with Malala,” said another.

Jaipur conferred Unesco Heritage Site status

T

he historic walled city of Jaipur, the capital of India’s Rajasthan, received the status of a Unesco World Heritage Site on Saturday. The decision was taken at the 43rd session of the Unesco World Heritage Committee, which is taking place in Baku, Azerbaijan from June 20 to July 10. In addition to Jaipur, the Committee examined 36 nominations for inscription on Unesco’s World Heritage List during the session. Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed the

move and tweeted: “Jaipur is a city associated with culture and valour. Elegant and energetic, Jaipur’s hospitality draws people from all over. Glad that this city has been inscribed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.” Jaipur was founded in 1727 CE under the patronage of Sawai Jai Singh II. The city was proposed to be nominated for its value of being an exemplary development in town planning and architecture that demonstrates an amalgamation and important exchange of ideas in the late medieval

period, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco) had said. “In town planning, it shows an interchange of ancient Hindu, Mughal and contemporary Western ideas that resulted in the form of the city.” Jaipur City is also an exceptional example of a late medieval trade town in South Asia and defined new concepts for a thriving trade and commercial hub. In addition, the city is associated with living traditions in the form of crafts that have national and international recognition, the international body added. The World Heritage Committee is also examining the state of conservation of 166 sites already inscribed on the World Heritage List, 54 of which also figure on the List of World Heritage in Danger. To date, 1,092 sites in 167 countries have been inscribed on the World Heritage List. (IANS)

rieving the death of a loved one is rarely easy and many people deal with death in a multitude of various ways. Such was the case for Paul McCartney who opened up about the death of his wife Linda McCartney — formerly Eastman — to breast cancer in 1998 at age 56. “I think I cried for about a year on and off. You expect to see them walk in, this person you love, because you are so used to them. I cried a lot,” McCartney told the BBC in an article published Thursday. “It was almost embarrassing except it seemed the only thing to do.” The Beatles bass guitarist and crooner married Eastman in 1969 and eventually, the pair formed the band Wings, two years following the Beatles’ disbanding. Eastman was diagnosed with breast cancer three years before she died. McCartney, 77, also tragically lost his mother, Mary McCartney to breast cancer in 1956 — she was

47-years-old and he was just 14 at the time of her death. He would lament the death of his mother in his conversation with the British news outlet. “Both my mum and Linda died of breast cancer. We had no idea what my mum had died of because no-one talked about it. She just died,” McCartney said of losing his mother. “The worse thing about that was everyone was very stoic, everyone kept a stiff upper lip and then one evening you’d hear my dad crying in the next room. It was

tragic because we’d never heard him cry.” Though Eastman was an American musician, she also worked as a professional photographer to celebrities and other musicians. H e r p h o t o g r a p hy works will be displayed at the Linda McCartney Retrospective at Kelgrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow, according to People – citing the BBC. The exhibit opens July 5, 2019 and runs until January 2020. (FoxNews)

Senegal enter Africa Cup QFs

Pak coach urges ICC to reconsider net run rate rule

Players of Senegal and Uganda fight for the ball during their Africa Cup match.

Cairo, Jul 6 (Agencies): Senegal forward Sadio Mane continued his hitand-miss tournament when he scored his third goal of the Africa Cup of Nations but also missed a penalty for the second game running as his side beat Uganda 1-0 to reach the quarter-finals on Friday. Mane broke the deadlock in the 15th minute of a physical game after Senegal pounced on a mistake by Uganda, who were in the knockout stages for the first time in 41 years. However, he squandered the chance to give Senegal some breathing space when his spot kick was saved by goalkeeper Denis Onyango in the 61st minute of a game which featured 45 fouls. Senegal will play rank outsiders Benin in the quarter-finals after the Squirrels earlier beat Morocco on penalties following a

1-1 draw in the day’s other match. Mane has now taken three penalties in the finals, missing one and converting one in the 3-0 win over Kenya where he also scored from open play, before missing again on Friday. Onyango’s habit of charging off his line had Ugandan nerves on edge throughout the game. He first raced out of his area in the fourth minute and felled Ismaila Sarr with a wild lunge, earning a yellow card and leading to a scuffle as Senegal remonstrated. It was an even game until Godfrey Walusimbi lost possession in the Uganda midfield and Senegal quickly moved the ball to Mane who glided past his marker and planted a leftfoot shot past the advancing Onyango. Unfazed, Uganda had their first real chance after

Tomic’s £45,000 Wimbledon penalty unfair, says Djokovic London, Jul 6 (Agencies): Novak Djokovic blasted the decision to strip Bernard Tomic of his entire 45,000 euros (USD 56,000) Wimbledon prize money as “unfair.” The controversial Australian was punished by the All England Club for tanking in his first round match which was over in just 58 minutes. The 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 defeat to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was the shortest men’s match at the tournament. “I don’t think it’s fair to take all his prize money away,” said Djokovic on Friday. “I have to see obviously his behaviour, movement on the court, how much effort

he put in. He deserved his right to be in this tournament. He’s a top 100 player. He’s worked all year to be here. He deserves most of that prize money.” World number one and defending Wimbledon champion Djokovic, who is also the president of the ATP Player Council, believes other factors could have come into play which would have been mitigating. “It’s not nice for the crowd, the other players that maybe would want to be in the position to fight to get to the second round. But he played against Tsonga, who is a great player on grass.”

I’m 100 per cent fit: Rashid

Adil Rashid

London, Jul 6 (Agencies): Adil Rashid insists he is 100 per cent fit as he aims to help England into their first World Cup final since 1992. The leg-spinner suffered a shoulder injury before the tournament and has not been at his best throughout, with his eight wickets in nine games coming at an average of 54.12. England will play either India or Australia at Edgbaston next Thursday after confirming a semi-final spot by beating New Zealand on Wednesday. “Just before the World Cup I had an injection on the shoulder problem [but] it’s all good now, I’m 100 per cent,” said Rashid. “There’s been some games where I felt as though I’ve been a bit unlucky there’s been a few dropped catches and missed stumpings and whatever. If you K Y M C

take all that [into consideration] it could be completely different, I could easily be on 15 or 16 wickets. That’s part and parcel of cricket but we’re winning and we’ve got through to the semis, so we’re in a good place.” Rashid has used his googly more sparingly during the World Cup but says he has been talking with England spin consultant Saqlain Mushtaq about how to rediscover top form. “I’m trying to [bowl my googly] but sometimes it can be a bit difficult. That’s not an excuse,” added Rashid, whose best figures at the World Cup were the 3-66 he picked up against Afghanistan at Old Trafford. “ I t ’s o n e o f my strengths, my variations. For me, it’s just getting back to bowling my variations. I’ve been picking Saqlain’s brain about how to go about things: he’s played international cricket at the highest level, he’s been successful in ODI and Tests. Sometimes we talk about setting up batsmen or field placings.” Rashid has also rebuffed the notion that England struggle on pitches that are not suited to batsmen, insisting they will acclimatise to whatever Edgbaston surface they encounter in their semi-final.

22nd minutes, a shot on the turn from Emmanuel Okwi which Alfred Gomis did well to turn away. Shortly afterwards, Onyango made another foray out of his area and was caught as Sarr ran around him but the goalkeeper rescued himself with a lastditch tackle. Senegal defender Kalidou Koulibaly had a clear header from a corner but did not make proper contact and the chance was wasted. After a scrappy start to the second half, Onyango again charged off his line and this time flattened Mane. But Mane’s penalty was saved by the keeper who, at that point, was lucky to still be on the field. Senegal nearly paid the price when Allan Kateregga curled a free kick over the Senegal wall but Gomis made another good save and Uganda’s dream run was over.

London, Jul 6 (Agencies): Manchester United’s Paul Pogba is ready to leave the Premier League side in the summer with a transfer “in the process”, said the French midfielder’s agent Mino Raiola. Pogba, who moved to United from Juventus in 2016 for a then-world record fee of 89.3 million pounds, has produced inconsistent displays despite scoring 31 goals in 142 appearances in all competitions. “Everyone within the club from the manager to the owner knows Paul’s wishes,” Raiola told the Times newspaper.

Real Madrid, where he will link up with coach Zinedine Zidane, or a return to former club Juventus. Pogba had suggested last month in Tokyo that now “could be a good time to have a new challenge somewhere else”. He is currently in New York this week on a promotional tour, with United’s squad set to fly out to Australia shortly for a series of pre-season games that begin next week. Raiola did not confirm if Pogba would make the trip. “I can’t tell you anything. I live day by day,” he added.

London, Jul 6 (IANS): Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur urged ICC to give headto-head record a higher priority than net run rate after the team’s final game of the 2019 World Cup against Bangladesh. “I would have liked the ICC to consider head to head because tonight we would be in the semi-final. It is disappointing, and it just goes back to our first game (a heavy defeat) against the West Indies,” Mickey Arthur said. “We had an opportunity to beat Australia and we didn’t take that. Those are the two nightmares I’m going to

have,” he added. Pakistan went into the match against Bangladesh on Friday needing to win by a record margin in order to pip New Zealand to final semi-final spot on the basis of net run rate. “What the system has done to us is that after one very poor game, you really battle to recover again. So it’s a very disappointed dressing room, no congratulations going on because we haven’t qualified. Congratulations to the four who have, I think they’ve played the best cricket so far and may the best team win,” said Arthur.

IOC lifts suspension on Kuwait Olympic Committee

Infantino wants to expand women’s WC to 32 teams

Geneva, Jul 6 (IANS): The International Olympic Committee has lifted the suspension on the Kuwait Olympic Committee as a result of successful implementation of a roadmap agreed between all parties. KOC was suspended by a decision of the IOC Executive Board in 2015 to protect the Olympic Movement in Kuwait from undue government interference. On August 16, 2018, the IOC EB decided to provisionally lift the suspension of the KOC, acknowledging the progress made, which included the revision of the sports law and an agreement to establish a process for elections of all sports organizations in Kuwait. Following this decision, a roadmap was established under the supervision of a Supervisory Committee, appointed by the IOC President Thomas Bach.

LYON, Jul 6 (Agencies): FIFA President Gianni Infantino wants to expand the women’s World Cup to 32 teams from 24 for the next edition in 2023 along with doubling the prize money to $60 million, he said on Friday. Ahead of the women’s World Cup final on Sunday between holders the United States and the Netherlands, Infantino said he would take his proposals to the FIFA council and member associations for approval. “I want to expand the tournament to 32 teams,” he told a news conference. “We will have to act quickly to decide if we are to increase it for 2023, if we do, we should reopen the bidding process to allow everyone to have a chance or maybe co-host. Nothing is impossible.” The deadline for submitting bid documents to host the next World Cup was in April, with a host

due to be appointed in March 2020 by the FIFA council. However, those plans may now change should the expansion get the go ahead. Nine countries have so far submitted bids including Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Japan, New Zealand, South Africa and South Korea. Infantino hailed the 2019 tournament in France as “the best women’s World Cup ever”, citing figures that show the global reach

will exceed 1 billion viewers across all platforms. He said it was an opportunity to build on the game with a number of proposals. One of which was doubling the total prize money of the World Cup to $60 million. The men’s edition in Russia last year, featuring 32 teams, had a total prize money pot of $400 million. “I would like to propose a Club World Cup for women starting as soon as possible, next year or the

year after,” Infantino said. “We need a Club World Cup which can be played even every year to expose clubs from all over the world, to make clubs invest even more in women’s football, to really shine on the world stage.” He also spoke of wanting to create an international women’s league, with promotion and relegation like the Nations League in the men’s game, to improve competitiveness in the World Cup. “In many parts of the world, unfortunately, qualification for the World Cup even is just based on a tournament, there is no proper qualification,” Infantino said. “Even where there is ... there are preliminary rounds where some teams get eliminated after two games and then for four years they don’t play women’s football anymore. We cannot let this happen.”

India beat Sri Lanka by 7 wickets Rohit hits record fifth century in single World Cup

Leeds, Jul 6 (PTI): A peerless Rohit Sharma’s graceful willow continued its day job of breaking world records as India warmed up nicely for their World Cup semi-final, decimating Sri Lanka by seven wickets in their final group league match on Saturday. The Indian vice-captain (103 off 94 balls) scored an unprecedented fifth hundred in a single World Cup edition as India surpassed the Sri Lankan total of 264/7 in 43.3 overs and finished their league engagement with seven wins. KL Rahul (111 off 118 balls), however, would have no complaints after scoring his maiden World Cup ton as he had the best seat in the house while playing the perfect support cast. Rohit’s artistry was at a different level as he bled the Sri Lankan bowling, especially Lasith Malinga (1/82 in 10 overs) with thousand cuts. The 14 boundaries and two sixes could be a part of any highlights package with cover driven boundaries and the extra cover driven sixes, that one could rewind and watch a thousand times. The beauty in Rohit’s strokes ensured that people had their eyes transfixed on the on-ground entertain-

ment unlike ICC bigwigs who kept a hawk’s eye on disturbing anti-India banners over the Headingley air space. When Rohit finally got out, he was only 26 runs short of Sachin Tendulkar’s highest aggregate (673 runs in 2003 edition) of runs which is up for grabs in the semi-final. Earlier, Mathews had again turned out to be a thorn in India’s flesh with a gutsy hundred after a toporder collapse, guiding Sri Lanka to a respectable 264 for 7.

The former Sri Lanka captain (113 off 128 balls) played a near perfect knock with his back to the wall, to give his team a chance to fight which looked bleak after first hour. Jasprit Bumrah (3/37 in 10 overs) was fast, accurate and mostly unplayable but Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1/73 in 10 overs) had a forgettable day. Mathews, who has now scored all his three ODI hundreds against India (Mohali and Ranchi earlier), hit 10 fours and two sixes in his final knock of this com-

Kashyap through to Canada Open semis Calgary, Jul 6 (PTI): Former Commonwealth Games champion Parupalli Kashyap produced another gutsy performance to enter the men’s singles semifinals at the USD 75,000 Canada Open Super 100 tournament here. Sixth seed Kashyap, a former World top 10 player, outwitted France’s Lucas Claerbout 12-21 23-21 24-22 in a quarterfinal lasting an hour and 16 minutes. Kashyap, who had reached the semifinals at India Open Super 500 tournament, next faces Chinese Taipei’s Wang Tzu Wei, who is seeded fourth. However, reigning national champion Sourabh Verma couldn’t extend his run in the tournament, losing 15-21 11-21 to Li Shi Feng of China in a 38-minute match. Kashyap had found the going tough ini-

tially as Lucas opened up a 5-2 lead in the opening game and then stayed ahead. The Indian reduced the deficit to 9-10 at one stage but Lucas kept moving ahead to grab the opening game comfortably. In the second, Kashyap opened up an 8-4 lead early on but Lucas managed a slender 11-10 advantage at the break. After a tooth and nail battle, it was Kashyap, who held his nerves to bounce back and take the match to the decider despite

squandering three game points. In the decider, Lucas zoomed to a 6-1 lead and kept his nose ahead till 18 when Kashyap clawed back and grabbed two match points. The Frenchman saved both to make it 20-20. Kashyap held the advantage again but Lucas erased it and earned a match point himself at 22-21. But an experienced Kashyap showed g reat nerves to grab three straight points and seal his place in the semifinals.

petition. Mathews came in at 53 for 3 and it soon became 55 for 4 when Lahiru Thirimanne (53 off 68 balls) joined him. The duo added 124 runs for the fifth wicket to bail the team out of the woods. He then had a 74run stand for the sixth wicket with Dhananjaya de Silva (29 off 36 balls) that helped Sri Lanka get past the 250run mark. The 32-year-old Mathews’ knock was a treat to watch as it was a perfect example of how to build an innings after a top-order collapse. Ravindra Jadeja (1/40 in 10 overs) was given respect and only twice he chanced his arms for two maximums. Kuldeep Yadav (1/58 off 10 overs), after being dropped against Bangladesh, did not show much improvement as he was bowling too full which both Thirimanne and Mathews found easy to negotiate. Kuldeep, at the fag end of his spell, did get Thirimanne. Brief Scores Sri Lanka: 264/7 (Angelo Mathews 113, Lahiru Thirimanne 53; Jasprit Bumrah 3/37) India: 265/3 (KL Rahul 111, Rohit Sharma 103)

Loftus-Cheek signs new Chelsea deal

London, Jul 6 (Agencies): Ruben Loftus-Cheek has officially signed a new five-year deal with Chelsea. The 23-year-old’s previous deal was due to expire in 2021, but Chelsea were quick to tie their academy graduate down. According to Telegraph Sport, Loftus-Cheek will now earn £150,000-a-week – a significant upgrade on his current £60,000-a-week wages The England international managed to establish himself under Maurizio Sarri last season, but could now miss the entirety of 2019 after rupturing his Achilles in May. This news will provide Frank Lampard with an immediate boost to his reign, particularly with their two-window transfer ban in place.

Morata to join Atletico in permanent deal Madrid, Jul 6 (Agencies): Alvaro Morata will join Atletico Madrid on a permanent deal from Chelsea at the end of his current loan spell with the Spanish club. The striker will remain on loan at the Wanda Metropolitano for the 2019-20 season before signing permanently on July 1, 2020. Morata scored six goals in 17 games last season while on loan in the Spanish capital and Atletico have now agreed a permanent deal for the 26-year-old. The Spain international joined Chelsea from Real Madrid in 2017 for a then-club record of £58m but struggled to adapt to life in the Premier League, scoring 24 times in 72 appearances. Only last month, Morata said Chelsea never ‘appreciated or loved him’ which led to a lack of confidence. A statement on Chelsea’s website said.”We would like to thank Alvaro for his contribution and wish him the best of luck for the future”. Morata himself tweeted, saying: “Happy. It’s official. Now I will have time to return with work and goals all the effort of the club and the affection of the fans. Thank you!!!”

He said one centre of excellence (academy) would be set up for martial arts, where training would be provided for judo, karate, taekwondo and wushu, while two other academies will be set up for weightlifting and boxing, respectively. “The three academies will have intake capacities of 100 players each. All the academies will have residential facilities and world-class coaches,” Rijiju said at a press conference here. “We must engage our youth in various activities. Otherwise they will sway towards anti-social activities,” he added. Seeking the support

of the state government for establishing the academies, he said the Centre would provide all budgetary support. “There is no dearth of sporting talent in Arunachal. Yet, no players from the state are able to make it to international sporting events, he said. “I have a dream that the youths of the state will participate in events such as the Olympic Games and the Asian Games.

when I play longer, it’s just getting better.” Twice Wimbledon champion before a knifewielding man sliced her playing left hand in a robbery around Christmas 2016, Kvitova knows the mental strength it takes to succeed at a Grand Slam, and knows what she needs to do in what she describes as her ‘second career’. “If I’m just pushing the balls there, I don’t think that I do have any big chance. With the strokes

which I play today, even from the returns already was the key of it. I am going to try my best to continue this kind of performance.” Also, world No. 1 Ash Barty reached the last 16 at Wimbledon for the first time, overwhelming British wild card Harriet Dart 6-1, 6-1. The 23-year-old Australian, bidding to become the first Wimbledon women’s champion from her country since Evonne Goolagong Cawley won

her second title in 1980, will play unseeded American Alison Riske for a place in the last eight. Barty did not allow Dart a look-in from the outset and the 182-ranked Briton only managed to get on the board in the first set at 5-0 down. It was pretty much a similar story in the second, Barty cruising to a 4-1 lead only for Dart to finally find her feet and carve out four break points. Barty, though, held

the 38th minute. However Mount Sinai’s team captain Shovelo Doulo struck twice in 40th and 53rd minute to get the equaliser and bring the team back into the game. With both team unable to find the winning goal, the match headed for an extra time of 15th minute where Minister’s Hill striker Naoman rose on the occasion to struck home the winning goal in 66th minute to finish the game. With his third goal, he became the 8th hat-trick scorer of the tournament.

Wimbledon Open: Kvitova, Barty reach fourth round LONDON, Jul 6 (Agencies): If ever less really was more, it would appear to be the case at Wimbledon for twice-champion Petra Kvitova. The Czech had not played a tennis match since pulling out of the French Open in May with an arm injury, but on Saturday handily beat Poland’s Magda Linette 6-3 6-2 to reach the fourth round. She’s not really practising, and not really stressing about her progress, and that seems to be the perfect formula as she eases through the draw. “Every match gets better,” Kvitova smiled. “Matches are the best practice... Now my mind, it’s more focusing on the arm than maybe on the tennis. I’m pretty confident, I have a day off tomorrow. Of course, as I mentioned already many times before, the pain can come in the forearm and I have to retire. “I’m really taking it very positive that I finished the match with the win, of course. That’s really important for me. I’m not really looking too ahead. I’m glad that I’m able to find a good performance during the match. I think

In a seven goal thriller, Naoman came to the rescue of Ministers Hill Baptist HSS scoring a hattrick. Ministers’ Hill School broke the deadlock through Naoman in 4th minute. But within two minutes, Kuveo Huzhu got back the equaliser for the opponent team. Naoman scored his second goal in 16th minute to make it 2-1 till the end of the first half.

Japanese world No. 7 Kei Nishikori reached the fourth round at Wimbledon on Saturday after beating American Steve Johnson for his 400th win on the men’s tour. Eighth-seeded Nishikori was error-prone at first against the world No. 71, but picked up momentum and claimed a 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 victory on No. 3 Court. He booked a spot in the last 16 for the fourth time. “Both my service and return games were good. It was a great win,” he said. “I’ve been able to concentrate on every match here so I’m satisfied.” “I was able to stay calm and played well despite (Johnson) breaking my serve first. My performance got so much better halfway into the match.”

dream into reality, we must draw a roadmap and as a first step we have decided to provide adequate sports facilities to the state,” he added. The Union minister arrived here Saturday morning and he was accompanied by Union Sports Secretary Radheyshyam Julaniya. Rijiju convened a review meeting with Chief Minister Pema Khandu, Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein, Sports Minister Mama Natung and Chief Secretary Satya Gopal. The Centre would extend all possible support for development of sports in the state the minister said, adding that his ministry has decided to install astro turfs in stadiums across all districts. “This will be done in the next three years. The

state government will decide the districts, where the project will be implemented,” the Union minister said, adding, the ministry would start funding as soon as the proposals from the state government are received. The ministry is also considering opening academies across all districts of the state to promote games such as archery and athletics. That will be taken up under the ambitious programme of ‘Khelo India’ after consultation with the state government. “The ministry will provide all crucial funding, wherever necessary, to develop the sports sector in the state,” Rijiju said, adding, the ministry has proposed to organise a North East Youth Festival in Arunachal this year to promote sporting activities.
