GoI moots enhancement of connectivity to NE states

NEW DELHI, JUL 7 (AGENCIES): With an aim for an overall development of the landlocked Northeast, Government of India (GoI) has chalked out strategy to bolster the logistic movements in and across the region. Niti Aayog has drawn a master plan to enhance the movement of logistics in and across the Northeast region which also holds the key for trading with our eastern neighbors. Disclosing this to Northeast Now, Anil Srivastava, Adviser (transport), Niti Aayog said that the Centre has taken up multiple initiatives for increasing connectivity of the Northeast regions. Multiple infrastructure projects for developing roads and railways into the Northeast region are currently in place. “Special schemes and concepts such as HIRA (Highways, Inland Waterways, Railways and Airways) by NITI Aayog and DoNER and UDAN under MoCA are novel initiatives taken up by the government.

viding seamless connectivity to the Northeastern states. We also plan to enhance the movement of logistics in and across the Northeast region which also holds the key for trading with our eastern neighbors,” Srivastava said. Srivstava said that Niti Aayog has also moots the idea of intelligent system. ITS is a revolutionary concept that has been doing rounds recently. It looks at solving multiple aspects of mobility plaguing our current transportation systems. It aims at modernizing the way people, goods move and the infrastructure built around it. “Use of innovative measures and providing quick, efficient and data backed solutions for issues like payment systems, reducing congestion, vehicle safety & control, emergency responses, parking management etc. ITS serves as an important component of urban planning and specifically, the Smart Cities mission. We wish to establish a state of art mobility paradigm in the country,” the Niti Adviser said.

The adviser also talked about the employability issue. “India is among the fastest growing economy in the world and Indians are proving their mettle in all fields. Employment opportunities are being generated in all sectors and we at NITI Aayog are focusing on improving the employment elasticity of the country,” he said. India has the biggest workforce in the world of which majority are youth. This can contribute to development of the country in a dynamic and resounding fashion. Recent studies have indicated how formalization of jobs is also happening in the country. “One of the key focuses for EV policy of India is also the employment generation aspect. We are looking at creating jobs not only in manufacturing but also through entrepreneurship. We are promoting technological innovations and research and therefore, EV ecosystem is guaranteed to create millions of jobs in India directly and indirectly,” he said.

NNPGs refute report on Naga demands; clarifies stand

DIMAPUR, JUL 7 (NPN): All open butcher shops (roadside butcher sheds) along the National Highway-29 stretch from Purana Bazaar to Chumukedima in Dimapur have been directed to close down and shift their businesses to a well maintained and hygiene enclosure/chamber inside a proper building/house or market. In a press release, EAC Chumukedima, Thejavizo Nakhro, stated that the decision to close down those open butcher shops was taken at a joint meeting of civil administration Chumukedima, all village council chairmen and head GBs along the NH-29 stretch from Purana Bazaar to Chumukedima on June 26, 2018. Further, all business establishments engaged in selling beef, button, fish, pork, chicken etc on the roadside open butcher sheds have informed to make necessary arrangement of shifting within 15 days. Any trader selling fresh meat items along the highway stretch in contravention to the joint meeting resolution would be liable to be penalized as provided by law, EAC said.

DIMAPUR, JUL 7 (NPN): Working Committee (WC) of the Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) through its media cell has taken strong exception of the report published by The Week, a Kerala-based news magazine, on July 6, 2018 and published in sections of the local daily on July 7, 2018 under the headline “GoI Talks Tough on Naga Demands”. According to the media cell, Alezo Venuh, envoy to collective leadership, GPRN/NSCN, and coordinator in the ongoing political dialogue between NNPGs and the government of India, had, at no point in time, gave any interview to print or electronic media on the status of “Indo-Naga” political negotiations. “There is certainly no truth in the statement attributed to Mr. Alezo Venuh,” media cell said. Working Committee said it therefore expected that the author of the article “withdraw a part of the baseless and imaginary statement within one week.” The committee cautioned that a legal course of action would be pursued should the author fail to tender “unconditional apology for misleading the Naga people through unethical journalism.” Meanwhile, WC also sought to lay out a few facts that required prompt clarification. Firstly, it said the NNPGs comprised of six Naga

National Political Groups and not a decreased number. Secondly, WC said integration of Naga areas in India and in Burma (Myanmar) was a legitimate aspiration of the Naga people. However, it said “contemporary political reality cannot be ignored”, adding that the issue would, therefore, be pursued democratically through people to people’s dialogue. Thirdly, WC pointed out that on November 17, 2017, the NNPGs and the government of India signed an Agreement in the manner of a preamble for further political negotiations, an agreed position upon which the negotiation would be based. “Which is why it is erroneous to say NNPGs joined the peace talks. The political dialogue is between two entities i.e. NNPGs and GoI, is a fresh initiative,” WC said. Fourthly, WC said the talks between the government of India and NNPGs were being held “systematically in a free, open and cordial atmosphere.” Stating that co-existence entailed recognising perennial rights of the Nagas over specific matters, the WC said there was no gag order on the NNPGs. “Matters requiring immediate deliberations and consultations with our people back home are being done unconditionally. In the Naga context, lack of transparency is suicidal,” WC asserted.

Myanmar installs border pillar inside Mnp NEET, JEE to be conducted

Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, JUL 7 (NPN): It appears that contractors of the ongoing four-lane road work have taken monsoon leave as the work progress was tardy even as the road condition worsens with mudslides and mud-covered potholes. Driving along the NH-29 is a hazardous experience both for the driver, passengers and the vehicle. The road project covering a length of 42.48 km was approved at a cumulative cost of Rs 1,199.11 crore. As reported earlier, the 74 Kms distance from Dimapur to Kohima that used to take around 2½ hours presently takes anywhere between 3 to 4 hours if there is no traffic, but 5 hours onwards depending on various factors. Expansion of the Guwahati-Shillong (GS) road was completed before the deadline in 2016 mainly since the contractor(s) worked almost non-stop from day to past midnight.

IMPHAL, JUL 7 (PTI): Prohibitory orders were imposed on Saturday in some areas in Moreh sub-division after unrest over the alleged shifting of an India-Myanmar border pillar well into the Indian territory. Tengnoupal District Magistrate A Tombikanta ordered imposition of prohibitory orders under Section 144 of CrPC during the night hours for the next six months in some parts of the sub-

division. The orders prohibit assembly of five or more people from 7 pm to 4 am and carrying any weapon. It was imposed after rising tension in the area over “shifting” of border pillar No 81 three kilometres inside the Indian territory, officials said. The move comes a day after a visit by the Manipur Revenue Minister Karam Shyam to the area where he said a high power committee on border pillars would

submit a detailed report to the government on the contested pillar. The border pillar was erected in 1969-70, the minister had said. Imphal Correspondent adds: Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh Saturday said the alleged re-location of border pillars at the Manipur sector of Indo-Myanmar border was sensitive issue and no decision can be taken hastily by the state government. Singh said that the issue should be sorted out by discussing it at a proper forum as it was a matter involving two countries. Singh, however, reiterated his government would not allow losing a needleprick’s land of Manipur because of border demarcation. “No Manipuri would want to lose any piece of land but no decision can be taken hastily by the state government as it is a very sensitive issue,” Singh said.

WhatsApp: New tool to address fake news, spam Yashwant Sinha slams son for NEW DELHI, JUL 7 (AGENCIES): After being reprimanded by the Indian government over spread of misinformation, Facebookowned WhatsApp has started testing tools to resolve the problem on its platform that has more than 200 million users in the country. The company has introduced a Suspicious Link Detection feature that will help users identify suspicious links (both sent and received). The aap essentially “analyses” the link in order to detect whether it is redirecting to a “fake or alternative website”, reported WABetainfo, a website that tracks updates on WhatsApp. If WhatsApp finds the link to be malicious, it adds a label called “suspicious link”. The link will come with a warning that reads, “This link contains usual characters. It may be trying to appear as another site.” The website further high-

lights that the analysis of link happens “locally” which means the app doesn’t transmit any data to WhatsApp servers, assuring users that the company isn’t compromising on the encryption for messages. The feature appears to be in the development stage and is part of 2.18.204 beta version on Google Play Store. WhatsApp is expected to roll out the feature after more polishing and trying it out with beta testers. Apart from misinformation, the new WhatsApp tool is ex-

pected to help users identify spams and fraud links. The company recently added a label for forwarded messages, making it easier to identify the mass broadcasted links. The latest feature comes shortly after WhatsApp received flak from government of India for not doing enough to control the spread of rumours. “While the law and order machinery is taking steps to apprehend culprits, the abuse of platform like WhatsApp for repeated circulation of such provocative content

are equally a matter of deep concern,” the ministry of electronics and information technology had said. WhatsApp also welcomed proposals from any social science or related discipline that foster insights into the impact of technology on contemporary society in this problem space.” “The WhatsApp Research Awards will provide funding for independent research proposals designed to be shared with WhatsApp, Facebook, and wider scholarly and policy communities. These are unrestricted monetary awards that offer investigators freedom to deepen and extend their existing research portfolio. Applications are welcome from individuals with established experience studying online interaction and ITs, as well as persons seeking to expand their existing research into these areas,” it said in a statement.

But I know even this will lead to further abuse. You can never win,” Yashwant Sinha tweeted. Opposition parties today slammed Jayant Sinha for feting feting Ramgarh lynching convicts after they were released on bail even as the minister defended his action, saying he had full faith in the judicial system. Condemning Sinha’s action, the Congress slammed the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and accused it of fanning communal tension. “It is only in ‘New India’, where those who are supposed to get the noose are instead being garlanded,” the Congress said in a tweet. CPM general secretary Sitaram Yechury also attacked the BJP for “tearing India’s social fabric” and promoting politics of hate.

Aga rtala , J u l 7 (IANS): Tripura Education and Law Minister Ratan Lal Nath, who visited state-run schools for the fifth consecutive day on Saturday, said the government would not punish the teachers for minor mistake or slight incompetency, but reform their approach towards teaching and students. Nath, who is extensively visiting the government schools in the urban and rural areas since July 3, asked the senior officials to serve show cause notices to five teachers for their major negligence in attending schools and teaching. "The previous Left Front government during its 25-year rule has destroyed the qualitative and academic practice of education

He said that the erstwhile Left Front government did not recruit government teachers for about 17 years and due to their "wrong doings", fate of 18,000 teachers and educational workforce are now uncertain. The Minister said the Supreme Court would give its verdict on July 18 on the ad-hoc extension of 10,323 government teachers. On March 29 last year, the Supreme Court had upheld a Tripura High Court verdict to terminate the services of 10,323 govern-

G u wahat i , J u l 7 (Agencies): To find an amicable solution to the longpending border dispute involving Assam and its neighbouring States, the Assam Police has sought ‘historical proof ’ from the Archeological Survey of India (ASI) and the Geological Survey of India (GSI) that might help amicable demarcation of the disputed border areas. The Assam Police Border Organization (APBO) has written to the ASI and the GSI asking them to provide all necessary information on historical ‘protocols’ related to the composite geographical area in question, which includes historical conven-

tion, besides relics (maidams) and literatures. “Studies have shown that protocol of history has undergone change over the years. There were some commonly accepted conventional practices, which we are now trying to revisit. We are optimistic that the historical overview would help in coming to a consensus stand vis-à-vis the bordering States, which have long been struggling to come to an amicable solution,” official sources told The Assam Tribune. “We have sought all relevant data that might emerge as a historical proof, and coming from the Central bodies like the ASI and the

ment teachers on grounds of "wrong policy" of the then government (Left Front government). "If the services of the 10,323 government teachers are not extended, thousands of students would be deprived of getting proper education in 4,928 government run schools," Nath added. The Tripura government had earlier submitted a Special Leave Petition before the top court to extend the services of 10,323 government teachers up to June 2020.

UCC reflects Constitution’s equality principle: Kovind Panaji, Jul 7 (IANS): President Ram Nath Kovind on Saturday praised the practice of the Uniform Civil Code in Goa, saying that implementation of the socio-legal system was truly reflective of the values of equality in the Indian Constitution. In his address during a civic reception here, he also said that the seaward region’s constant brush with people from different countries across the world, over ages, had earned the natives of Goa the tag of “global citizens”. “I am happy to know that the government in Goa is laying special stress on empowering women... Goa has a common civil code, as a result of which all residents, men and women, have been given equal rights. This Code reflects the principle of equality in

CBI chargesheets Unnao custodial death case New Delhi, Jul 7 (IANS): The CBI has filed a chargesheet against five men including Unnao MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar’s brother Atul Singh Sengar in a case related to the death of a gangrape victim’s father in police custody in Uttar Pradesh’s Unnao, an official said on Saturday.

Section 149 (unlawful assembly), Section 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), Section 34 (criminal act done with common intention) and Section 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace) are the other sections.

our Constitution and presents a good example to the country,” said Kovind, who is on a two-day visit to the coastal state. Implementation of the Uniform Civil Code has been a key poll campaign promise of the Bharatiya Janata Party and Goa is the only state in the country, where the Code has been in existence since the preLiberation era.

Kovind said that the state’s exposure over time to global influences had a positive impact on the mindset of the local population, making them global in outlook. “Because of the natural beauty, environment, its coastline, for ages Goa has been attracting people across the world. It has been important centre for international trade in the past. From Japan in the East to Africa and Western Europe, people from various countries have been visiting Goa. The extensive contact with the rest of the world has resulted in an evolved mentality, making Goans global citizens in the truest sense,” he said. Inviting Goans to visit the Rashtrapati Bhavan, Kovind said that his official residence belonged to each citizen of the country.

PM calls Cong ‘bail gaadi’ Jaipur, 7 July (PTI): Launching a scathing attack on the Congress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said the party is now being called a “bail gaadi” as several of its leaders are out on bail. “Several leaders who are called stalwarts of the Congress and former ministers are out on bail these days,” Modi said at a public rally here, punning on the Hindi term for a bullock cart. He said people were well aware of the “intentions” of the Congress party and had started calling it a “bail gaadi”. Making an apparent reference to the surgical strike into Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) in 2016, he criticised the Congress for questioning the capabilities of the Army. The prime minister said his government had resolved the issue of one rank, one pension for defence personnel.

NITI proposes ‘National Health Stack’ to facilitate schemes N e w D e l h i, J u l 7 (AGENCIES): NITI Aayog today came out with a blueprint of the the National Health Stack (NHS), a shared digital healthcare infrastructure, with a view to implement the Centre’s flagship scheme Ayushman Bharat and other public healthcare programmes in the country. The NHS is proposed to be the country’s first futuristic nationally shared digital healthcare infrastructure usable by both the Centre and states across public and private sectors. According to a consultation paper titled ‘National Health Stack Strategy and Approach’, the NHS will facilitate collection of comprehensive healthcare data across the country. Subsequent data analysis on NHS will not only allow

policy makers to experiment with policies, detect fraud in health insurance, measure outcomes and move towards smart policy making, but also engage market players (NGOs, researchers, watchdog organisations) to innovate and build relevant services and fill the gaps, it added. As per the consultation paper, the NHS will provide foundational components that will be required across ‘Ayushman Bharat’ and other health programmes in India. It will also provide a mechanism through which every user participating in the system can be uniquely identified. “The registrant may create a virtual health ID to preserve their privacy when interacting with other users or stakeholders in the system,” the paper said.

Playing divisive or inclusive

M

ore and more people are falling prey to criminal attacks by those who claim to espouse the ethos of a particular religion and culture and so the term ‘moral brigade’ has come to describe these elements. These actions are a matter of shame for a civilized society and a challenge to the institutionalized democracy. There have been many attacks on innocent people and damages to properties by goons masquerading as defenders of their religion and culture and self appointed accuser, judge and executioner. Politically, the BJP, which has been in denial mode over patronisation of fringe outfits, has belatedly realised that people are being lynched in barbaric manner like in the medieval times because beef issue. Socially, it has sent shock waves across even the majority community whose members have been the most vocal critics against the beef ban.the activities of such elements seem to go unchallenged. The factor that has contributed to the rise of goondaism in many metro cities is the hate virus spread by communal organizations that thrive on divisive ideology. The tool used to silence right thinking and the non violent unorganized majority is fear and hate. The methods are not different with those employed by the Talibans in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Therefore, these goons in reality are terrorists masquerading as religious fanatics to say the least. Terrorism is a scourge of the twenty first century and those who employ the methods are sustained by the bigots within the folds of religions. Terrorism, like fascism seeks to replace the freedom of the people with total subjugation through fear and hatred. Governments ruled by political parties that hide underneath communal ideologies have shown scant regard to the conventions of democracy. The fringe elements in several parts of the country seem to be presented with opportunities to commit offences –be it in the parochialism of sons-of-the-soil or xenophobia against other communities. While the Centre is serious about the threat of terrorism, the frenzy of attacks carried out by goons in several states also cannot go unchallenged. The legal lacunae is being exploited by such elements while the law enforcement agencies offer passive resistance that often lead to quashing of cases in the courts. Unfortunately, goons are the ‘muscles’ of many politicians cutting across party lines. . One common denominator shared by terrorists is hatred. This virus is spread through the agenda of communalism which preaches hatred. When hatred becomes an obsession, it leads to cold blooded murder. Those who espouse religious or communal fanaticism have no qualms about murdering innocent people as their hatred seem to justify such heinous crimes. The cry to be tough on terror rested on the premise that all terrorists are Muslims and therefore even vice versa. The hate virus used to spread the communal agenda has been responsible for many crimes against innocent people- be it the Gujarat pogrom against Muslims or atrocities on Christians in Dangs district in Gujarat or in Orissa. Elements and organisations espousing radicalism, cannot decide on what the nation needs to do; rather they should be shown as to how the nation should deal with their kind.

DailyDevotion All Efforts of Worth and Excellence Are Difficult

Enter by the narrow gate….Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life…. —Matthew 7:13-14 If we are going to live as disciples of Jesus, we have to remember that all efforts of worth and excellence are difficult. The Christian life is gloriously difficult, but its difficulty does not make us faint and cave in— it stirs us up to overcome. Do we appreciate the miraculous salvation of Jesus Christ enough to be our utmost for His highest— our best for His glory? God saves people by His sovereign grace through the atonement of Jesus, and “it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13). But we have to “work out” that salvation in our everyday, practical living (Philippians 2:12). If we will only start on the basis of His redemption to do what He commands, then we will find that we can do it. If we fail, it is because we have not yet put into practice what God has placed within us. But a crisis will reveal whether or not we have been putting it into practice. If we will obey the Spirit of God and practice in our physical life what God has placed within us by His Spirit, then when a crisis does come we will find that our own nature, as well as the grace of God, will stand by us. Thank God that He does give us difficult things to do! His salvation is a joyous thing, but it is also something that requires bravery, courage, and holiness. It tests us for all we are worth. Jesus is “bringing many sons to glory” (Hebrews 2:10), and God will not shield us from the requirements of sonship. God’s grace produces men and women with a strong family likeness to Jesus Christ, not pampered, spoiled weaklings. It takes a tremendous amount of discipline to live the worthy and excellent life of a disciple of Jesus in the realities of life. And it is always necessary for us to make an effort to live a life of worth and excellence.

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. ~ Joseph Addison

Nagaland Post, Dimapur SUNDAY, JULY 8, 2018

T

he consumers remain innocent and ignorant of what will harm their health when eaten and thus remained easy prey to predators, the traders of all food items which are not organic. After years of remaining insensitive to general health of the citizens of the state of Nagaland, for the first time, Nagaland Health Department has just done one thing right and befitting in exposing how the people of Nagaland are being fed with contaminated fish for years followed by seizures of consignments of formalin injected fish from traders which is poisonous for health. Kudos to those authorities, who took sincere initiatives in the interest of the gullible consumers. The general public deserves such protective actions of the government all the time. Not only fish supplied to our markets is poisonous but several food items in the markets are adulterated in one way or the other as I believe. I do not very much trust the efficiency of food quality control under Government of India (GOI). One instance led me to have lack of confidence in the system in the country is that the 91st Amendment of the Constitution of India was to downsize the Jumbo size ministries to 15% of the total number of any Legislative Assembly. In the process, states started violating the law at will, and yet the Union Government had no botheration lest there be law suits in the court by private individuals or parties against the violation of the law. When the Supreme Court of India intervened in one of such case and ordered for enforcement of

Traders’ prey

the said law, its application was made simply haphazard and erratic as against the principle of uniform enforcement as though the law was made for convenient use of the individual states. This being the Indian attitude towards its laws, I believe Indian laws are at the mercy of the rich and powerful even in respect of production of food items. Laws are adequately framed but compromises and manipulations of those laws are tacitly allowed just as the downsizing law. Whereas, the innocent common man is the ultimate victim of such lawlessness. Specifically, by experience, when fish is caught from pond in Dimapur and to be transported to Kohima without delay has to be in ice lest even within three hours it starts rotting because it is pure and without preservative agent as poisonous formalin. Prior to detection and seizure of hundreds of kilograms of formalin injected fishes in the state, I used to wonder how fishes in the market could last for so long without ice being used. Thus, our people are being treated worst than guinea pig by mercantile traders for decades in absence of the state Government’s vigil to check illegal trade. A guinea pig gets undivided attention of the researcher when placed under test, whereas, none bothers about the welfare of the ignorant consumers of such amount of chemical laced fish to the delight of powerful traders. Consumption of contaminated fish or any adulterated food item is nothing but slow poisoning of the body. According to Indian law, whether supply of poisoned food item for general consump-

tion is considered crime or not? Being not a lawyer myself, I poised this question to Naga lawyers. When a man uses any weapon and kills another man or when accidentally a person is injured or killed under the wheels of a vehicle, the act of the aggressor is considered a crime. Eating formalin laced fish by one will not cause him to die instantly except that it will steadily destroy his system and by which he may suffer from cancer or from any fatal system failure. Slow poisoning or instant death has similar end result. The public therefore must not remain mute spectators to what is happening in today’s Nagaland. We, the consumers, are not animals in the zoo. We are created by God not be the simple prey to those greedy and manipulative predators, the traders. We, the consumers, do not eat the fish free of cost. The quality and quantity of the fish must worth our money. We have fundamental rights to fight against exploitation. How government of Nagaland is handling this particular issue of supplying poisonous food item to Nagaland market? 1. Monitoring the consignment of fish has to be on regular basis and not one time show like Swatch Bharat by which VIPs sweeping the dirty street with broom and had it telecast and splashed it in front pages of news papers. One seizure and subsequent exposure in the media is never the solution to the menace. Such exhibitionism will not deter the predators to stop supplying contaminated fish to our markets. 2. Whether those traders

Since that date the global community celebrates United Nations International Day of Cooperatives and ICA’s International Cooperative Day on the first Saturday of July. The theme for this year is ‘sustainable societies through cooperation’. At a time when income inequality is rising around the world, it is good to be reminded that solutions to inequality do exist. The cooperative model is foremost among these solutions, since it contains aspects of sustainable development at its core and is based on ethical values and principles. On 7 July 2018, members of cooperatives around the world celebrate the International Day of Cooperatives. In the past the United Nations General Assembly has declared 2012 as the International Year of Cooperatives, highlighting the contribution of cooperatives to socio-economic development, particularly their impact on poverty reduction, employment generation and social integration There are many cooperatives in our country too. Amul is one if the best example cooperative movement. There are cooperatives banks, agriculture cooperatives, etc which are engaging and helping many individuals and families in the country. Agricultural cooperatives work to maintain the longevity of the land where they grow crops through sustainable farming practices. Consumer cooperatives support sustainable sourcing for their products and educate consumers about responsible consumption. Housing cooperatives help ensure safe dwellings. Worker and social cooperatives aim to provide goods and services in an efficient, planet-friendly way, while creating long-term, sustainable jobs. It’s important for us to strengthen the cooperatives movement. We may be part in the movement directly or indirectly as cooperatives have power to bring sustainable change and development.

caught selling adulterated fish are allowed scot-free without being appropriately punished? If any culprit happens to be indigenous Naga trader, besides being punished his trade license should be cancelled. If the trader happens to be a non-local, besides slapping punishment, he should be banished from Nagaland along with cancellation of his trade license. In the recent seizures, if not the government preferred to shelve its punitive actions against the erring traders in secret, nothing is heard about how it dealt with those traders besides seizing their items. 3. Lest the state government becomes serious and enforces the law on the issue in question determinately by competent and honest authority, it will become another Nagaland Liquor Total Prohibition Act. Unless the monitors have integrity, they may start certifying formalinfishes which will once again fill our markets. In the event of law enforcers and unscrupulous traders combined and become one party as just in the case of liquor, the temporary ban of sale of formalin injected fish will be just a futile exercise. 4. It is highly appreciable that four districts have now banned import of fish. The ban must continue till the government strengthens the system of monitoring by which import of such harmful food item is sensitized and checked. For we can survive without eating fish, rather how many people were poisoned to death because of consumption of contaminated fish. Be serious, after all, what is more important than health of the people. Z. Lohe

Status of Tuli paper mill

t has been sometime we’ve not talked about our industry Tuli Paper Mill. The mill has been defunct for some years now, and I feel that we, as citizens of Nagaland have a right, as well as a duty to know the status about it. The Government of India has time and again been trying to revive the Mill in words and deeds. As per the new DPR the Government of India has approved to sanction amount of Rs. 679 Cr. out of which an amount of Rs.100 Crore has already been released for its speedy revival on 19.09.2013. The Nagaland Pulp & Paper Company Limited (NPPCL) received only Rs. 33 crores from the above amount and though with limited fund, the NPPCL has been trying to uplift the mill by machinery maintenance, renovation of the building and so on. The old rusted machines are being sold out on scraps to release them with new ones. The rehabilitation works is being suspended since 2015. It is pertinent to state here that the salary of its employees are still pending, forget about other service benefits. In such a scenario, I feel that we have a right to know when the funds are being released and to whom the funds are being pumped in. For instance, out of the 100 crores rupees that has been released, only 33 crores has reached the concerned authority, i.e. the NPPCL, so where is the remaining 67 Crore rupees that has been released by the Government of India for the said mill? The Naga public in general and the government of Nagaland in particular should dig into the matter as to how public funds are being vanished without any trace. We have a right to know. It is such a shame that we are sitting idle when the Government of India is rendering assistance to revive the said Mill. I urge upon the Nagas, spearheaded by the apex bodies and the Government of Nagaland to claim what is rightfully ours. Chuba Jamir, River Belt Colony, Dimapur: Nagaland

The safest places in the world

F

ive years ago I lived in a housing estate that was so safe that I didn’t even own a front door key. Our only line of defence against evil was a deeply confused dog which barked at family members and gave strangers a friendly licking. (My wife tells me to be kind, since dogs have brains the size of walnuts, but I argue that a walnut would be cheaper and more effective, since you can throw it at people and it never needs its poop picked up. But whatever.) Safe places to live were on my mind after a reader sent in a news report about what is being called “the safest place in the world”. Eibenthal is a village with a little church in the mountains of Romania. Inhabitants hang money in bags on lampposts. The baker passes by, takes the money and leaves food behind. But there are super-safe places everywhere, if you know where to look. India has Shani Shingnapur, a famously low-crime town of 3,000 people in Maharashtra where most houses don’t even have doors, let alone locks. This columnist wrote about it a few years ago when a bank was built there. Townsfolk ordered executives at UCO Bank to follow tradition and have no locks on its doors. The bankers thought this was a bit unusual for a bank, but were willing to cooperate. You could imagine the discussion: Townsfolk: “You must follow our tradition and not lock the doors of your bank.” Bankers: “Well, okay. It’s your money.” Townsfolk: “Wait. Maybe we need to talk about this a bit more.” The only grumble came from local police, but they could have taken

inspiration from Sark, an island near England which maintained a tiny security presence. In the 1970s it was invaded by France. The invasion fleet consisted of one Frenchman. The defending army consisted of a part-time policeman, who arrested the Frenchman without harming him. As wars go, it was rather sweet. (You can’t say that about a lot of wars.) Even the United States, which the media paints as a land of guns, has super-safe places. Wikipedia says top of the list is Irvine, California, which had 0.8 of a murder in the most recent year counted. How can you have 0.8 of a murder? Did the guy’s hair survive or something? Now here’s the thing: You can create individual safe spots. Over the years, this column has received dozens of news reports about armed robbers who failed because their would-be crimes didn’t fit the ambience. Example: In 2012, a masked man entered a bar in the Netherlands and levelled a gun at people inside. Lost in the usual fog of drink and chatter you find in European bars, they ignored him. The whole thing is on YouTube, including the deflated robber’s sad exit. At a bank in Kowloon, Hong Kong, staff told a raider than they were far too busy to be robbed. He nodded and left the counter. The whole thing was marvellously civil. Now I am not saying that our generation is creating a crime-free world. Given the propensity of snacks to disappear in this columnist’s house, I can’t even create a crime-free apartment. Who took my walnut? Nury Vittachi, (IANS)

Appeal to AGM SBI, RBO Dimapur

This is to draw the benign attention of your esteemed authority for necessary action for redressal of needs and grievances in the interest of the public of Rengma and as a concerned citizen. It is quite evident that State Bank of India (SBI), Branch Tseminyu sub-division has been facing shortage of staff members for manning and catering the needs of customers for long years. The branch is well known for rendering notable services to various department of Nagaland within the two oldest sub-divisions namely Tseminyu and Pughoboto. Nonetheless, still many establishments, institutions, villages, government service holders, pensioners, students, local entrepreneurs and people from far flung areas are often delayed and deprived for timely transactions owing to acute shortage of manpower at the branch. Consequently, more staff will no doubt ease the burden and workload of the branch enabling congenial atmosphere of satisfaction to all. Aside from this pressing requirement, more enhancements of infrastructure development and location of branch can be pondered further for suiting the convenience of valued customers and serving all section of the people.

NCW to closely monitor rape case against Orthodox priests her contact with a fellow priest and in the end, she came under the duress from at least five priests. An online portal first reported the story last week, and this led to tremendous pressure on the Church from several quarters, especially social media, and it announced an internal probe. However, the NCW took up the case, asking Kerala Police chief Loknath Behra to send

a report on the case. Soon Behra launched a Crime Branch probe and all the five priests are now on the run. Two of them who approached the Kerala High Court this week for anticipatory bail failed to get any relief with the court posting the matter for Monday and police are awaiting the outcome of the court’s decision on their plea.

The court today handed over a copy of the charge sheet and the documents filed along with it to Tharoor and posted the matter for scrutiny on July 26. Meanwhile, the Delhi Police and the counsel appearing for Tharoor also opposed BJP leader Subramanian Swamy’s plea seeking the court’s nod to assist it in the case.

Curfew was already in place in Tral to prevent protests on the second death anniversary of Burhan Wani -- the popular militant commander who was killed on July 8, 2016 along with two of his associates. His killing triggered a wave of protesters in which over 100 lives were lost. Nearly 4,000 others were injured in the unrest that lasted for five months. Over 100 injured protesters were permanently or partially blinded by pellet gunshots used by the security forces to restore order in the valley. Reports from Tral town, where Wani was buried, said some militants appeared at his grave on Friday and fired shots in the air to honour their hero. Separatists had called for a protest shutdown on Sunday on to remember Wani. Rail services have been suspended in the valley for two days as a precautionary measure. Authorities have announced that admit cards would be treated as curfew passes for candidates taking the National Eligibility Test (NET) tomorrow at various centres in Srinagar.

A police officer said residents of Hawoora and adjoining villages tried to disrupt the anti-terror operation as security forces cordoned off the area following inputs that a group of militants was hiding in Kulgam, some 70 km from south of here. Eight civilians sustained firearm injuries during the clash with security forces. The three deceased were identified as Andleeb (16), Shakir Ahmad (22) and Irshad Ahmad (20). Five injured were being treated in hospitals and the condition of two of them was reported serious. Senior police, army and paramilitary officers rushed to the spot to take stock of the situation. The authorities snapped mobile internet services in all the four south Kashmir districts of Kulgam, Anantnag, Shopian and Pulwama.

maintainable. The court, thereafter, asked the BJP leader to hand over a copy of his application to Tharoor. The sessions court had observed that the prosecution’s apprehensions that Tharoor may flee offshore or influence witnesses were “without any basis”. The court had also imposed certain conditions on Tharoor, including that he would not tamper with the evidence or leave the country without the court’s prior nod. It had noted that Tharoor, who has not been arrested by the probe agency, had joined the investigation as and when called by the police. It had also observed that the police had not, at any point of time, alleged that Tharoor tried to flee from justice or shift base to another country. In a seven-page anticipatory bail order, the court had also noted that Tharoor was a sitting member of the Lok Sabha and used to be the Minister of State for External Affairs in the UPA rule. In his plea for anticipatory bail, Tharoor had submitted that the charge sheet in the case was filed and the Special Investigation Team had categorically stated that the probe was concluded and his custodial interrogation was not required.

We are separately preparing a plan for manufacturing these planes in India,” he said.

The company also brought back the 1.0 EcoBoost engine on the Ford EcoSport with the addition of Ford EcoSport S variant. In mid 2017, the company had recalled a little over 39,000 units of Fiesta Classic and earlier version of Figo for faulty power steering hose. Previously, Ford India recalled over 166,000 units of Fiesta Classic and Figo vehicles owing to faulty rear twist beam and power steering hose.

Although the percentage of those filing has improved from 55% in July last year to nearly 65% in May this year, the ideal compliance of around 80% has remained elusive. Responding to a question on why the department was manually checking transitional credit claims instead of allowing the same automatically, finance secretary Hasmukh Adhia said that data showed that large amount credit was built up in the credit ledger prior to GST compared to the average Cenvat (excise and service tax) credit balance in taxpayers’ ledger a year ago (June 30, 2016).

Twitter suspends over 70 million fake accounts

San Francisco, Jul 7 (IANS): Twitter Inc. has suspended more than 70 million fake accounts in May and June in a massive drive to clear out bots and trolls on the platform, the media reported. The crackdown on suspicious accounts, which came amid mounting political pressure after Congress criticised Twitter for lax regulation on foreigncontrolled fake accounts to spread false information that may impact US domestic politics. Twitter sources said that the rate of account suspensions has more than doubled since October as over 1 million accounts were suspended a day in recent months. The wave of account suspensions by the world’s largest social network is one of several recent campaigns by Twitter to police its platform and stop spam and abuse of fake accounts. Last month, Twitter announced “new measures to fight abuse and trolls, new policies on hateful conduct and violent extremism, and (we) are bringing in new technology and staff to fight spam and abuse.” Focusing on improving the health of conversations on Twitter means “ensuring people have access to credible, relevant, and high-quality information on Twitter,” Del Harvey, Vice President of Trust and Safety of Twitter, said in an official blog post in June.

fore Britain leaves the bloc in March 2019. May’s proposal calls for the UK and the EU to establish a free trade area that would allow goods and agricultural products to move across borders without delays. In return for unfettered access to its biggest export market, the UK would commit to following EU rules and regulations on goods. It would also accept a limited role for bloc’s top court, the BBC reported. The British government said the proposal marked a “substantial evolution” in its negotiating position and

it included concessions that would maintain closer ties with the EU than May had previously sought. However, certain elements of the proposal are likely to be unacceptable to the EU. The world’s biggest trading bloc only grants unfettered market access to countries where all its citizens have the right to live and work. May wants to end this freedom of movement, replacing it with a vague “mobility framework.” According to the plan, banking and other UK service industries, which make up the vast majority of the UK economy, would lose

UN cuts peacekeeping budget by $610 million

United Nations, Jul 7 (IANS): The UN has cut its peacekeeping budget by $610 million for the current year while the monthly payment to each peacekeeper will increase by $96 per month. The $6.69 billion-budget for this accounting year starting July 1 that was adopted by the General Assembly on Thursday, is 8.36 per cent less than the previous year’s $7.3 billion. India’s share of the peacekeeping dues, which is set at 0.1474 per cent of the total, will come down from $10.76 million to $9.82 million for the current accounting year, a saving of $940,000. The peacekeepers will each now get $1,428 per month, up from last accounting year’s $1,332, an increase of 7.2 per cent that will benefit the 6,172 Indian personnel serving in UN operations. Two of the peacekeeping operations - in Haiti and Liberia - ended during the

last accounting year, leading to a saving of $500 million. Such a huge saving is unlikely to be repeated unless missions are closed down in the future or extreme economy measures are undertaken. The remaining savings of $110 million comes from belt-tightening at the 13 operations that are continuing. To absorb the increases in payments to peacekeepers and still come up with savings, large economy measures had to be enforced. The US pays 28.47 per cent of the peacekeeping budget and President Donald Trump’s administration has said that it would not pay more than 25 per cent in future. US Permanent Representative Nikki Haley pushed for the budget cuts and her mission said that it had wrangled a 6 per centcut from the initial budget estimates made by the UN for the current financial year.

Officials are considering a rescue plan involving a “buddy dive” - where an experienced adult diver would swim with each boy, according to a US official. Thai divers would lead the mission and US divers would preposition oxygen tanks, the official said. The rescue team also includes divers and workers from Europe and Asia. The rescue mission could begin as soon as the weekend, but no decision has been made whether to proceed, the US official said.

The UK government plan also calls for a future customs arrangement under which Britain would collect EU tariffs on goods bound for the bloc. Doing so would allow Britain to set its own tariff rates and negotiate its own trade deals. Such a proposal would almost certainly be rejected by the EU. “Of course we still have work to do with the EU in ensuring that we get to that end point in October. But this is good we have come today... to a positive future for the UK,” May said. She said the proposals, to be formally published in a white paper next week, would give the UK the freedom to strike trade deals with other countries.

On Thursday, Environment Canada had forecast a maximum temperature of 35 C but said the heat index would make it feel like 45 C. The mercury has since June 29 regularly topped 30 C, accompanied by stifling humidity levels, but temperatures should drop back to seasonal averages from Saturday. “Looking at the weather forecast, we are waiting for a return to normal in the coming hours,” said Health Ministr y spokeswoman Noemie Vanheuverzwijn. Most of the victims in Montreal were men in their 50s or older, and living in vulnerable conditions without air conditioning, regional public health director Mylene Drouin has said.

Spider-Man co-creator Ditko dies at age 90

S

teve Ditko, the Marvel Comics artist who gave the world the woven webs and soaring red-andblue shape of Spider-Man and the other-worldly shimmer of Doctor Strange, has died, authorities said Friday. He was 90. Ditko was found June 29 in his Manhattan apartment and was pronounced dead at the scene, police Lt. Paul Ng said. No further details were immediately available. Ditko, along with writer Stan Lee, introduced the world to Peter Parker and his alter-ego SpiderMan in 1962 in an issue of “Amazing Fantasy.” A year later, Ditko introduced the world to surgeon-turnedmetaphysical superhero Doctor Strange. Spider-Man would

go on to become arguably the most indispensable and recognizable character in the Marvel universe, and Doctor Strange a member of its permanent pantheon. The adventures of both have been turned into blockbuster films, and both had essential roles in the recent “Avengers: Infinity War.” While Lee embraced his status as a creative god among comics fans, appearing at conventions and in constant cameos in Marvel’s films, Ditko was a recluse who won the worship of the most hardcore comicbook geeks. They were quick to praise him and the massive influence he had on art, film and culture Friday. English TV and radio host and comic books

super-fan Jonathan Martin tweeted that Ditko was “the single greatest comic book artist and creator who ever lived.” The son of a steelmill worker, Ditko was born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, in 1927. He served in the army in Europe after World War II and began working in comics in the 1950s in New York, eventually landing a drawing job with Marvel forerunner Atlas Comics. Jack Kirby, Lee’s artist on the Fantastic Four and many other Marvel characters, took a stab at creating Spider-Man in 1961, but Lee was unsatisfied and gave the gig to Ditko, who gave Spidey the essential look he still has today. Ditko left Marvel in 1966, but returned in 1979. One of his later creations was Squirrel Girl, who after her debut in 1992 became a cult favorite among comics fans. He maintained a writing studio in Manhattan until his death, but had no known surviving family members and was incredibly reclusive, turning down nearly all offers to do interviews, meet fans or appear at movie premieres.

ome popular apps on your Android phone may be actively listening to you, monitoring your habits and even secretly taking screenshots of your activity and sending them to third parties, a new study has found. These screenshots and videos of your activity on the screen could include user names, passwords, credit card numbers, and other important personal information, the researchers said. “We found that every app has the ability to record your screen and anything you type,” said David Choffnes, a Professor at Boston’s Northeastern University. The findings will be presented at the Privacy Enhancing Technology Symposium Conference in

Barcelona. For the study, the team analysed more than 17,000 of the most popular apps on the Android operating system, using an automated test programme written by the students. In all, 9,000 of the 17,000 apps showed the potential to take screenshots. “There were no audio leaks at all. Not a single app activated the microphone,” said Christo Wilson, Professor at the varsity. “Then we started seeing things we didn’t expect. Apps were automatically taking screenshots of themselves and sending them to third parties.” Although these privacy breaches appeared to be benign, they emphasised how easily a phone’s privacy window could be exploited

amb of God drummer Chris Adler says that he implored Vinnie Paul Abbott not to reform Pantera without “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott. Ever since Dimebag was murdered in December 2004, people persistently called for Vinnie to consider reuniting with singer Philip Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown, with guitarist Zakk Wylde standing in for Vinnie’s late brother. But Vinnie continually rejected the idea, saying that such a reunion would not be “right at all.” While paying tribute to Vinnie during an appearance on the “Talk Is Jericho” podcast, Adler discussed his feelings on a hypothetical Pantera “reunion,” saying that he spoke to Vinnie “at length about that. Not that my opinion mattered whatsoever, but I encouraged him repeatedly, ‘Please, don’t. It’s not right,’” he said. “As much as I love

Zakk, or whoever else might be able to do it, and I know the fans would want that, and I know there is this concept of, ‘Do it for the fans. Do it for the songs. Celebrate this,’ it’s celebrated by the fact that it’s over; it’s celebrated by the fact that we all remember it well with the appropriate pieces to the puzzle,” he continued. Adler went on to say that the key to Pantera’s success was the right combination of musicians complementing each other applying their talents toward a common goal. Pantera broke up in 2003 due to an ongoing rift between Anselmo and the rest of the band. Dimebag was shot and killed by a crazed gunman while performing with his and Vinnie’s post- Pantera act Damageplan at a Columbus, Ohio rock club. Vinnie passed away on June 22 at his home in Las Vegas at the age of 54. (Blabbermouth)

Federer sets grass-court record

Roger Federer returns the ball to Jan-Lennard Struff during their match on Friday.

London, Jul 7 (Agencies): Defending champion Roger Federer breezed into the fourth round of Wimbledon tennis championships with a 6-3, 7-5, 6-2 victory on Friday over Jan-Lennard Struff, winning a record-setting 175th career match on grass in the process. The 36-year-old Swiss defending champion, who eclipsed a mark long held by American great Jimmy Connors, has now won 29 consecutive sets at Wimbledon dating back to the start of last year’s tournament, reports Efe. Federer jerked the 64thranked German around the court throughout the onehour, 34-minute match, taking advantage of his edge over his 1.96-meter (6-foot-5) opponent in the mobility department. Struff had 31 net approaches compared to

Federer’s 14; but the Swiss’ winning percentage on those points was far superior - 93 per cent to 52 per cent. Struff was competitive for most of the second set, but Federer took a stranglehold on the match by breaking serve in the 11th game of that set and serving it out a game later. Federer, who is trying to increase his record haul of Wimbledon men’s singles titles to nine, will next take on 22nd-seeded Frenchman Adrian Mannarino. Mannarino edged Russian Daniil Medvedev 6-4, 6-3, 4-6, 5-7, 6-3 Friday in three hours and 12 minutes.

Serena wins; Bertens upsets Venus

Seven-time champion Serena Williams has kept her Wimbledon hopes alive with a hard-fought 7-5, 7-6 (7-2) third-round victory over Kristina Mladenovic. Older sister Venus

Williams, however, crashed out of the tournament with a 6-2, 6-7 (5-7), 8-6 loss to Kiki Bertens. Mladenovic served for the first set at 5-4 during the match on Friday but she squandered that opportunity and then got broken once again in the 12th game to drop the opener, Efe news reported. Serena only broke the Frenchwoman’s serve once in the second set, although that was enough to force a tiebreaker, which she won easily. The 36-year-old American great is ranked number 181 as she was absent from the WTA Tour nearly all of last season due to pregnancy and maternity leave, but she has a 17-match winning streak at Wimbledon dating back to the start of the 2015 tournament and is among a handful of favorites for

the title. Next up for the 23time Grand Slam champion in the fourth round will be Russia’s Evgeniya Rodina, who edged 10thseeded Madison Keys 7-5, 5-7, 6-4. Five-time champion Venus Williams, meanwhile, was unable to match her strong performance from last year, when she reached her ninth final at the All England Club. After being clearly outplayed in the first set of Friday’s match, the number 9 seed sharpened up on her second-serve points to force a decider. She also managed to hang close with Bertens in the third set by getting herself out of jams on serve in the seventh and 11th games. But the 20th-seeded Dutchwoman was too solid in the end, finally clinching victory on her third match point to advance to the fourth round of Wimbledon for the first time in her career. With the win, Bertens also got revenge for a narrow 5-7, 6-3, 7-5 loss to the 38-year-old veteran earlier this year in Miami, a match in which she squandered two match points. She will next face seventh-seeded Czech Karolina Pliskova (the secondhighest-ranked player left in the women’s singles draw after Romanian world number 1 Simona Halep) for a spot in the quarterfinals.

Stokes return gives Eng selection conundrum Cardiff, Jul 7 (Agencies): England one-day captain Eoin Morgan has refused to guarantee that Ben Stokes will jump straight into the side for Sunday’s T20 series decider against India in Bristol. All-rounder Stokes missed the recent one-day series against Australia with a hamstring injury and has sat out the first two 20 over

games against India. Stokes rejoins the squad in Cardiff on Saturday after coming through an innings of 90 in 68 balls playing for Durham on Thursday. England insist Stokes has no injury worries and is fit for selection leaving Hales or Jake Ball, who made his international T20 debut in Friday’s last over five wicket win facing exclusion.

Buffon joins PSG on 1 year contract

Paris, Jul 7 (IANS): Paris Saint-Germain announced Friday the signing of legendary Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon on a one-year contract with an option for a second season. Buffon, 40, joins the Ligue 1 champions - only the third club of his magnificent career - after 17 years with Serie A champions Juventus, reports EFE news agency. “It is with a great feeling of happiness that I join Paris Saint-Germain,” he said in comments cited on the club’s web site. “For the first time in my career, I am leaving my country and only a project this ambitious could have encouraged me to make such a decision. I want to thank the club and the president for their confidence,” Buffon said. With a trophy for each of his 23 seasons as a professional, Buffon has won the Serie A nine times, but is still pursuing his first Champions League title, despite having reached the final three times. PSG chairman Nasser al-Khelaifi lauded the club’s latest acquisition. “At 40 years old, his passion for football is intact and Gianluigi has found the ideal environment in our project to set himself extremely high objectives transmitting his experience, not only to the other goalkeepers at the club, but to all of our players,” the team boss said.

Brazil knocked out of WC by Belgium England beat Sweden 2-0 to reach semis

Harry Maguire celebrates with team-mates after scoring a goal during their quarter-final match against Sweden.

Samara, Jul 7 (Agencies): Harry Maguire and Dele Alli scored headers as England booked their place in a first World Cup semifinal since 1990 by beating Sweden 2-0. Maguire and Alli struck either side of half-time in Samara on Saturday to move the Three Lions into the last four, and they will face either Croatia or hosts Russia on Wednesday. England dominated after making a slow start,

Maguire scoring from Ashley Young’s left-wing corner after half an hour to put Gareth Southgate’s side on track. Jordan Pickford made tremendous saves to deny Marcus Berg and Viktor Claesson either side of Alli doubling England’s lead, the midfielder nodding in Jesse Lingard’s centre. Although the World Cup’s top scorer Harry Kane was muted, England held Sweden at bay to follow up

their penalty success against Colombia with a more comfortable victory. Sweden had advanced from three of their four previous World Cup quarterfinals but could not find a way to beat Pickford as the Three Lions marched on to the semis. Claesson hammered the game’s first shot over the crossbar in the 12th minute as a cagey start saw both sides play loose passes due to early nerves.

Tite quiet on brazil future KAZAN, Jul 7 (Agencies): Brazil coach Tite left questions hanging over his future but refused to point the finger as the fivetime champions crashed out of the World Cup. Four years after the drama of Neymar’s injury and a humiliating 7-1 semifinal defeat to Germany on home soil, Brazil were forced back to the drawing board as they followed neighbours Argentina, Uruguay and Colombia in exiting the tournament earlier than hoped. Brazil had been undefeated in their last 15 games under Tite, a streak in which a resurgent Selecao had conceded only three goals. Their World Cup hopes were turned upside down in 31 first-half minutes when Fernandinho’s 13th minute own goal put Belgium ahead before a superb strike from Kevin

Tite

De Bruyne left Brazil, and Neymar, staring at a spectacular defeat. Tite admitted it was a “bitter” defeat, but he brushed aside suggestions he could resign. “I’m not going to talk about the future, I’m not thinking about the future,” said the 56-year-old. “I will do a general assessment of the match and our campaign, but I won’t be making any comments on individuals.”

“This is not very human. And we also have to look at the global context. We played a match in which we had lots of possession, a lot of opportunities, but in terms of effectiveness... Belgium managed to turn their opportunities into goals.” “They weren’t superior to us on the pitch, but more efficient. That’s certain.” Real Madrid defender Marcelo summed up feelings when he said, “It was a horrible night.” Tite could only concur. “It’s a heavy, bitter feeling. This was very hard for us to swallow,” he said. “I’m not going to say we were unlucky. Belgium have top quality players like De Bruyne, (Romelu) Lukaku, (Eden) Hazard and even (Vincent) Kompany and Courtois. They’re top players.”

And they took the lead in the 30th minute with their eighth set-piece goal of the tournament. Young’s outswinging corner found Maguire to power home his first international goal, goalkeeper Robin Olsen and Ola Toivonen on the line unable to stop the defender’s downward header. The offside flag spared Sterling’s blushes when Kieran Trippier’s long-range pass sent him clear to miss and the forward soon wasted

‘It would have been inappropriate to celebrate goal’

Nizhny Novgorod, Jul 7 (IANS): France forward Antoine Griezmann said he chose not to celebrate his goal against Uruguay in their World Cup quarterfinal “out of respect”. After his goal Griezmann stood with his arms by his sides before being mobbed by teammates. “I didn’t celebrate that goal because when I started as a professional footballer I was supported by a Uruguayan, who showed me the good and the bad of football,” he told reporters. “Out of respect, I thought it was inappropriate to celebrate that goal.” Griezmann is good friends with Uruguay centerbacks Godin and Gimenez and is an avid fan of mate, a popular herbal drink in Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay and southern Brazil.

another chance from Jordan Henderson’s lofted throughball. Olsen did well initially with a strong hand to deny Sterling, who dallied with the rebound and allowed Andreas Granqvist to make a vital block. Pickford was called into action for the first time shortly after the restart, diving to his left to superbly palm away a header from Berg, who climbed above Young at the back post. The importance of that terrific save was made clearer as England struck again in the 58th minute. Another England setpiece caused chaos and, although Sweden initially cleared their lines when Lingard delivered a perfect cross to the back post, Alli was there to double his side’s advantage. Pickford made a smart stop from Claesson after he combined well with Berg, Sweden coach Janne Andersson turning to John Guidetti from the bench. Guidetti teed up strike partner Berg in the 71st minute but Pickford tipped the effort over the crossbar. Such was England’s comfor t in the closing stages, Henderson - at risk of missing the semi-final through suspension - could be replaced by Eric Dier as Southgate’s side moved on to Moscow.

Belgium players celebrate with their supporters after beating Brazil 2-1 on Friday.

Kazan, Jul 7 (Agencies): Kevin De Bruyne’s stunning strike booked Belgium’s place in the World Cup semi-finals with a 2-1 win over Brazil. A first-half double, courtesy of a Fernandinho own-goal (13) and a rasping De Bruyne (31) finish, gave Belgium a big enough cushion in order to repel a Brazilian onslaught in the second period. Renato Augusto (76) set up a grandstand finish but Belgium, spearheaded by Eden Hazard and a fantastic performance by Thibaut Courtois, held on to make the last four, which means a European team will be winning this year’s tournament. Belgium were given a helping hand to grab the lead on 13 minutes. Nacer

Chadli’s corner from the left was clumsily flicked into his own net by Fernandinho, who was under pressure from Vincent Kompany. The opening goal was lucky, the second was sheer quality. Lukaku drove at the heart of the Belgium defence which caused chaos in the Brazilian backline. He offloaded the ball to De Bruyne on the right who was strangely invited onto his right foot by a lacklustre Marcelo. The Manchester City star took a touch and fired straight into the far corner. Brazil went for broke in the second half which left huge space for Hazard and Lukaku to exploit. Substitute Roberto Firmino almost flicked home a Marcelo cross while Gabriel Jesus had a penalty claim

turned down by VAR after Kompany went to ground inside the area. Brazil’s goal did eventually come after a spell of prolonged pressure with 14 minutes to go. Augusto’s run into the box was not tracked and Philippe Coutinho picked him out with a stunning clipped pass that was headed home by the Beijing Guoan midfielder. Neymar failed to light up the game but he did burst in behind with eight minutes left before cutting the ball box inside the penalty area, but Coutinho’s effort from 12 yards was wayward. There was one last chance for Neymar for take it to extra-time but Courtois produced a sensational one-handed save to flick a 20-yard curling effort over the crossbar.

Cavani’s absence cost Uruguay, says Suarez

Uruguay’s Edinson Cavani (R) comforts Luis Suarez at the end of the quarterfinal match between Uruguay and France.

Nizhny Novgorod, Jul 7 (IANS): Uruguay striker Luis Suarez said that the absence of fellow attacker Edinson Cavani from the line-up was decisive in the team’s 0-2 loss to France here in their 2018 FIFA World Cup quarter-

final. The Paris Saint-Germain striker was kept from playing by an injury suffered in the round-of-16 match against Portugal, where he scored both of Uruguay’s goals, reports Efe.

“Cavani has been essential for us because of the class of player he is. He scored two goals, and those who took his place did it in the best possible way and gave their all for the team. But that’s no excuse,” Suarez said on Friday.

He also spoke about veteran head coach Oscar Tabarez and the possibility he will continue after his contract with the Uruguay national team ends following the World Cup. “ E ve r yo n e k n ow s what El Maestro means to the team and to Uruguay. For all he has done and for all the respect he has won. I believe what’s called for at this point is to evaluate El Maestro’s work up to now and await the good news,” Suarez said of the 71-year-old. Finally, he weighed Uruguay’s World Cup performance: “We always gave our all, we tried to do our best. You can say we could have done a little more, but we always did our best. After that the game could have come out good or bad, but we always gave our all,” the FC Barcelona star said.

Cardiff, Jul 7 (PTI): England Alex Hales stayed till the end to take his team to victory in the second T20 international against India in Cardiff on Friday. Alex Hales scored a brilliant 58 not out off 41 balls with four boundaries and three sixes. England were off to a brisk start by their openers but Indian bowlers bounced back to scuttle the England middle order. But Hales and Bairstow stitched a 34-run fifth wicket partnership to bring England closer to victory. Hales wasted no time in the over of Bhuvneshwar Kumar hitting him for 12 runs in 4 balls to take England past the Indian total. Earlier, the seasoned Dhoni clobbered 22 runs in the final over and lifted India from a precarious 22 for three to 148 for five in testing conditions in the second T20I against England in Cardiff on Friday. Skipper Virat Kohli top-scored with 47 against a much-improved England bowling, but it was Dhoni’s effort that gave India’s total a semblance respectability.

aries. Sent into bat after the coin landed in favour of Eoin Morgan, India were off to an inauspicious start, losing the opening duo of Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan and last game’s centurion KL Rahul, with just 22 runs on the board. The visitors often struggled to cope with the bounce the Sophia Gardens surface offered to the English bowlers. However, Kohli stood firm amid the ruins and found an able ally in Suresh Raina (27), with whom the

captain added 57 runs for the fourth wicket. Coming into the game on the back of a convincing eight-wicket victory in the opening game of the three-match series, visiting India were in for a few shocks early on as Jake Ball, playing in place of Moeen Ali, seemed to justify the selection by having Sharma caught behind in the second over. Dhawan was run out because of poor running between the wickets, while the in-form Rahul was bowled by Plunkett to leave India

reeling in the fifth over. Having made 27 off 20 balls with the help of two boundaries and a six, Raina was stumped by Buttler off Adil Rashid, the spinner making amends after being hit for a six and four by Kohli in his previous over. Three short of his half century, Kohli fell to a good catch by Joe Root off the bowling of David Willey, as England celebrated the huge wicket. Brief Scores: India 148/5 (Kohli 47, Dhoni 32 n.o) vs England: 149/5 (Hales 58 n.o)

China, Jul 7 (IANS): India’s Under-16 team, which is on an exposure trip here played out a 1-1 draw against North Korea in their last match of the Four-Nation Hua Shan Cup CFA International Youth Football Tournament on Saturday. In a drab first half, the Indian colts had an opportunity to go ahead as early as the 13th minute but Givson’s shot missed the goal by a whisker. India survived a scare in the 44th minute when North Korea rattled the woodwork as the half-time scoreline read 0-0 as both teams went into the tunnel on level pegging. Changing over, in the 60th minute, Bekey’s shot was saved by the Korean defence line. However, in the 75th minute, the opponents took the lead and found the net to make the scoreline read 1-0.
