Detach all teachers attached with VIPs in 15 days: ANCSU DIMAPUR, JUN 11 (NPN): All Nagaland College Students’ Union (ANCSU) has served a 15day ultimatum demanding detachment of all teachers attached to VIPs. In a letter addressed to all legislators/concerned of the 13th NLA, ANCSU president Katho P Awomi and education secretary Kruto Tetseo maintained that the union was against any kind of attachment of teachers with VIPs. Despite several reminders and representation, ANCSU said some teachers were still attached with the legislators. It reminded that teachers were supposed to be teaching in their respective institutions for the upliftment and progress of students in particular and institution at large. ANCSU has therefore requested the concerned legislators to take the matter seriously and also reminded not to attach any teachers under any condition, adding this was directly affecting the institution and jeopardizing the welfare of the students’ community. Further, ANCSU said it will remain vigilant and will not allow the careers of the students to be hampered.

NSSATA members to go on hunger strike from today
DIMAPUR, JUN 11 (NPN): With the state government not conceding to some of the demands of the Nagaland Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan Teachers’ Association 2010 & 2013 (NSSATA), a section of the NSSATA members have decided to launch a hunger strike from June 12 (Tuesday). However, all other members have unanimously decided to continue the sit in protest till the government offers a positive response to the long pending demand, NSSATA agitating committee convenor Thejangulie Kirha and secretary, Arenla Tzudir said. Even as the peaceful protest entered its fourth day on Monday, NSSATA said there has been no positive response from the government. It is for this reason that the aggrieved teachers have made a decision to strengthen their voice by furthering the ongoing stir, NSSATA stated. NSSATA pointed out that not only the teachers or students, but over 2500 families have been affected.
On June 8, Nagaland chief secretary Temjen Toy had categorically stated that the government’s hands were tied as it cannot cede anything beyond what was agreed. He also warned that the state government might be compelled to respond with stern action as per the dictates of laws and existing laid down procedures. Toy said the agitating teachers ought to accept their responsibilities especially after the government had done whatever it could in trying to solve their grievances. Toy pointed out that since SSA is a flagship programme, funds were not pumped in regularly. He said the state government on numerous occasions and despite limited resources, had intervened when salary was delayed. He pointed out that SSA teachers were recruited under SSA flagship programme and as per the SSA guidelines, with terms and condition that their services would be terminated once the programme ended.
KSU threatens to shutdown schools
Ko n ya k S t u d e n t s ’ Union (KSU) has threatened to shut down all schools in Mon district and said it would rather make the students take part in the agitation, if the government failed to resolve the ongoing issue of the SSA teachers. For this, KSU said that the concerned department and government shall be held responsible. In a press note, KSU president Bumang Phaiba and education secretary Abo Wangshu said most of the schools under SSA have been affected, as teachers were in Kohima to take part in the protest. Such issues have resulted in poor performance of schools, it added. With schools scheduled to conduct the mid-term exams and syllabus yet to be covered, KSU said some schools were not functioning due to absence of teachers. The careers of students are at stake as teachers are compelled to agitate due to the unending issue, KSU stated.
NEW DELHI, JUN 11 (AGENCIES): Three months after the Bharatiya Janata Party’s political coup in Meghalaya, when the party leadership, with just two representatives elected to the new assembly, cobbled together a government led by the National People’s Party (NPP), chief minister Conrad Sangma is discovering the cost of BJP’s support. According to a Business Standard report, on Monday Meghalaya DGP Swaraj Bir Singh, also a Sahitya Akademi Award winner, submitted his resignation to Sangma over the proposed appointment of BJP-linked former police officer, Kulbir Krishan as “security advisor” to the state government. Sangma’s government had given Singh an extension as DGP in April this year. Kulbir is regarded in police circles as “controversial”. In the early 2000s, then Intelligence Bureau (IB) chief, Shyamal Datta, posted him out of the bureau over allegations relating to his personal life. Later, abortive attempts to appoint Krishan IB chief floundered after resistance from the organisation. In 2013, when Krishan was DGP Meghalaya, the Election Commission ordered him moved out before elections. In contrast, Singh is well respected in the service and is regarded as having performed creditably as DGP since his appointment in December 2016. Sangma has not accepted his resignation and urged him to continue. When contacted by Business Standard, Singh declined to comment on the issue.

It shall be done within two weeks,” the bench said. During the hearing, the Uttarakhand government told the tribunal that a state forest fire management plan has been finalised and the details of the action taken are mentioned in the report submitted to it. The matter is now listed for next hearing on July 30. The tribunal was hearing a plea by NGO Friends which had alleged that a “nexus of timber mafia, some greedy villagers and officials” was suspected to be behind the fire incidents which have caused severe degradation of the environment.

Police nab three for online fraud
Staff Reporter
DIMAPUR, JUN 11 (NPN): In what has been described as “sensational’’ and “the first-of-its-kind” in the history of Nagaland Police cases, Dimapur Police led by an IPS probation officer, Amit Nigam in collaboration with Rajasthan police in Bharatpur district, tracked down and arrested two online fraudsters after a girl from Dimapur filed an FIR at East Police station in Dimapur earlier on April 14 this year. The accused, two unemployed brothers in their mid-twenties; Sabir (28) and Shakir (25) from a village called Jhenjpuri under Bharatpur district in Rajasthan, lured a Naga girl with an offer too good to be true. The victim fell for a well-laid out and devious trap and was cheated to a tune of Rs. 67,400. It started with an offer of an iPhone 7S plus for Rs. 34,000 on OLX by a fictitious seller Vikram Waghmere who posed as an army man and furnished all necessary documents like details of army cantonment posting, army ID card, and even a picture in an army uniform to instil confidence in potential

The victim from Dimapur is said to have contacted the accused on WhatsApp and struck a deal for Rs.34,000. She was then tricked into making numerous payments into two bank accounts that were tracked to Nuh in Haryana and Bharatpur district in Rajasthan. She made a total of five deposits totalling to Rs. 67400. The victim eventually realized that she had been duped and she filed an FIR at East Police Station in Dimapur. The primary clue to
cracking the crime were the two bank accounts into which deposits were made: an SBI account in Nuh, Haryana and a PNB account in Bharatpur in Rajasthan. When the police checked, both the accounts still existed and the identity of the account holders were confirmed as belonging to real people. It was found the SBI account in Jhenjpuri belonged to Nafeez Ahmed. The second clinching evidence was the mobile data research analysis which showed Vikram Waghmere on True caller

Rejoinder to news item ‘Pollution in Dimapur threatens health of public’
DIMAPUR: Reacting to the news item “Pollution in Dimapur threatens health of public” published on June 11, Sunrise colony secretary, Athempu Kamei has clarified that his statement in connection with solid waste management has been misquoted, because from the very beginning, Sunrise Colony had been objecting the Tripartite Agreement by the Department of Municipal Affairs Nagaland with New Waves Bio-Fuels India Private Limited. “Therefore there is no question of pointing out the non implementation of the waste management project”, the secretary said in a rejoinder letter. The letter fur ther claimed that the DMC dumping ground was initially inaugurated as a sweeper quarter and not as a dumping site. “All residents have purchased the land from the private owners including the DMC. So there is no such thing as occupying the land” it added. Reacting to the DMC CEO, Moa Sangtam’s statement that when the dumping site was started there were no residents in the nearby areas, Kamei said that the colony would like to remind the CEO that the dumping site was started in violation of the provisions of Municipal Wastes (Management and Handling) Rules, 2000 which provides that the landfill site shall be away from habitation clusters, forest area, water bodies, monuments, National Parks, Wetlands and places of important cultural, historical or religious interest. Also the rejoinder stated that landfills should also be “away from airport including airbase.” According to the rejoinder, approval of concerned airport or airbase authorities was necessary before setting up a landfill
if it is to be within 20 km of an airport or airbase. The colony questioned the DMC whether approval had been obtained from the Dimapur Airport Authority since the present dumping site is located within 5 kms from the airport. Stating that residents have every right to complain against the DMC for starting the dumping ground without complying with regulations, it said that their pleas cannot be connected with if the landfill or the colony came first. “However from the statement of the CEO it appears that the residents have no right to complain” it stated. On the DMC administrator’s statement that if DMC stopped disposing garbage, it may lead to a law and order situation, the rejoinder said that if the dumping continued, it may lead to an epidemic. Instead of such alarmist messages of law and order, it suggested that it was time to think how to find a solution to the
damages already caused “because of violation of the specification given for setting up a landfill.” Regarding the DMC claim of offers for medical camps and chemical to control flies, the colony said it did not recall any such offers being made, but whole heartedly welcomed such initiatives if it really intended to make such offers. “The DMC should also consider providing free water supply to the affected areas till the contaminated ground water is rejuvenated to its natural form” it further stated. While the rejoinder said that the government is for the people, managed and run “by our own people.” It invited citizens to work together to find a solution to the problem of setting up a new landfill that complies with the rules and does not make anyone suffer. Finally, it issued a call to everyone to manage their solid waste to lessen this problem, because “polluter’s duty comes first”.

ULFA (I) militant nabbed in Arunachal
Guwahati, Jun 11 (Agencies): Security forces apprehended a militant belonging to banned outfit group ULFA (I) in Arunachal Pradesh. Kohima based Defence PRO Colonel Chiranjeet Konwer said that based on specific intelligence about presence of a militant at Phaneng village, security forces in conjunction with Assam Police launched an operation and apprehended the ULFA(I) militant. The nabbed militant was identified as Babu Basumatry alias Hemkanta. The militant has been actively supporting ULFA(I) activities and has been conducting extortion and recruitment for the group. “The militant was implicated in recent recruitment of a female militant Kashmira Mech of the outfit and abduction of Dinanath Upadhyay, manager of Radha Chetia Tea Estate.

BSF has decided to install laser walls along the Indo-Bangla Border to check infiltration bids. (File) Agartala, June 11 (PTI): The Border Security Force (BSF) in Tripura is “contemplating” installation of laser walls at the unfenced riverine patches along India-Bangladesh border to check infiltration bids, official sources said. Security forces have so far been using sensor devices, flood lights and night vision goggles to guard the international border, the laser walls would further help in plugging gaps in the “vulnerable” areas, a senior officer of BSF’s Tripura Frontier said. “We want to install laser walls to ensure effective border management along
the Indo-Bangla border but nothing has been finalized as yet,” he said. A similar project is on the verge of completion in the sensitive areas of Dhubri in Assam, the officer said. “Once the project is successfully implemented at Dhubri, the BSF higherups will assess its utility and decide if the model could be replicated in Tripura,” he explained. A real-time communication system, in coordination with Bhaskaracharya Institute for Space Applications and Geo-information (BISAG), has also been introduced in the state for smooth coordination with
the senior officers. “The satellite-integrated BISAG programme facilitates DG BSF to directly interact with the jawans deployed along the border areas. With this, the troops can hold discussions and address queries for better understanding of issues,” the officer stated. Of the total 856-kmlong India-Bangladesh border in Tripura, the Centre had approved fencing for 840- km stretch. While 750-km borderline has been sealed, isolated patches - mainly in Sepahijala district’s Sonamura subdivision – still remain unfenced, the officer added.

Shillong, Jun 11 (Agencies): Congress party is likely to be reduced to 20 MLAs again and this time, it will not be because of any legislator vacating any seat for another but it will be due to a shift in allegiance. This time, the Congress’s lost will be the NPP’s gain, TNT reported. Senior Congress leader, Martin M Danggo is likely to join the Nationalist People’s Party (NPP) if the present Meghalaya Democratic Alliance Govenrment (MDA) assured to create the Ranikor Civil Sub Division. While talking to media persons here today, Deputy Chief Minister, Prestone Tynsong said that the party is happy to welcome any leader to the party. “We will be more than happy if Danggo comes to joins the party,” Tynsong said even as revealing that he along with Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma, Home Minster James PK Sangma, Cabinet Ministers, party president Dr W Kharlukhi
and party MLAs are visiting Ranikor tomorrow. It may be mentioned that there were reports that Danggo, who represented Ranikor constituency since 1993, is planning to join the NPP. Tynsong, however, maintained that the main purpose of the visit was to oversee the developments in Ranikor constituency. Replying to a query, he said that Ranikor deserves a Civil Sub Division long time back to speed up the seeds of development since 75 percent of the areas is not accessible. “The Congress led MUA Government before elections had instead inaugurated the Administrative Unit at Ranikor which is not as per the expectations of the people of the constituency,” Deputy Chief Minister said. He, however, denied that the MDA has made a commitment to upgrade the Ranikor Administrative Unit into a Civil Sub-Division.
Govt employees’ strike paralyses Mnp I mphal , J u n 1 1 (IANS): The employees of the Manipur Secretariat on Monday continued their cease-work strike as their demand for the implementation of the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission is yet to be fulfilled, despite an appeal from Chief Minister N.

IMPHAL, Jun 11: Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh Monday lauded Union ministry of DoNER for approving the Topographical Need Based Budgeting (TNBB) under which Tamenglong district including Noney (pre revised district delineation) will receive Rs 90 crore.

Curfew would be enforced from 6 pm on Monday to 7 am Tuesday in the 14 “vulnerable” areas and 9 pm to 5 am in other parts of Shillong, he said. “The government does not want to take chances.

The internet facilities would also remain suspended for at least another 24 hours, he said. A home department official said security forces would continue to keep
vigil on the city until the situation returns to normal.

Shillong came in the grip of violence on May 31 following clashes between the Khasis and the Sikhs in the city’s Punjabi Lane area, also known as the Sweeper Colony. Tension soon spread to other areas of the city, forcing the administration to impose curfew as a security measure. More than 10 people, including police officers and CRPF personnel, were injured in the violence that continued over the next five days. District authorities ordered a magisterial inquiry into the incident, under the supervision of Addi-

NEW DELHI, JUN 11 (IANS): National Commission for Women (NCW) on Monday partnered with hospitality company Airbnb to create livelihood opportunities for women in the northeast region as a step towards their empowerment. The partnership under NCW’s capacity building cell – an initiative to focus on skill development-oriented programmes, will be initially started in three states –Nagaland, Meghalaya and
Arunachal Pradesh – on a pilot basis. According to NCW chairperson Rekha Sharma, the state commissions will initially choose 10 women from these three states who will be given training on how to start a homestay, get financial assistance from banks, generate technology-enabled livelihood opportunities in tourism and hospitality and other skill oriented initiatives. The trained staffs will later teach other women
and their homestays will be featured on the web-page of Airbnb. “It will also promote digital inclusion and the creation of women-led tourism and hospitality enterprises, thereby paving the way for their economic and social empowerment. With this inclusive development, we hope to together provide women in the North Eastern States a platform to become micro-entrepreneurs,” said Sharma.

Teachers on warpath
t is a matter of serious concern that around 2700 teachers appointed under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), a centrally sponsored project, are on a virtual warpath over several demands and unless there is an early resolution, the crisis could deepen if school children of affected schools go without classes. After the government released pending salary of three months, it was expected that the issue would be dealt with in a manner so as not to spill over into resumption of agitation. The agitating SSA teachers were appointed during 2010 and 2013 in batches. The SSA aims to provide quality education to all children in the age group of 6 to 14 years across the nation by community ownership of the school system. According to official sources, SSA is a flagship programme of the Government of India for achievement of Universalization of Elementary Education (UEE) implemented in partnership with State Governments. The programme works towards opening of new schools in areas where there are no schools as well as to strengthen the existing schools by providing a myriad of infrastructure enhancing interventions. SSA does not limit its functions in merely providing education but in fact embodies the task of honing each student with life skills. The agitating SSA teachers are demanding among other things- revision of salary as per the 7th RoP and regularisation of services with all facilities and perks accorded to regular government employees. The government however maintained that the teachers were appointed under SSA as per the terms and condition under existing rules and therefore their posts were co-terminus with the SSA project. That means the teacher posts would end once the SSA project also ended. Clarifying on the demands made by the SSA teachers belonging to the 2010 & 2013 batches, for inclusion of their salaries under 7th RoP, the Department of School Education (DoSE) maintained that the government has agreed in principle to their demand for inclusion into the 7th ROP after observing all codal formalities. The point that is to be noted here, is that the chief secretary had made it amply clear that since post of teachers under SSA are co-terminus with the project, the teachers cannot expect to be given hikes as per the 7th RoP. Even if the government was to consider the demand, it was made known that this also involves a process. The SSA teachers also demanded that their salaries be transferred to Non-Plan which comes under state budget. The department explained that since SSA posts were created for implementation of Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) , the existing practice of payment of salary through the State Mission Authority SSA would have to continue in whatever name or form the CSS of SSA continues. The government has a big challenge in ensuring that it pays salaries in time to its employees particular for projects where state share is also required. For those observing the issue from a distant, the demands of the SSA teachers appears to be subjective to their understanding that they are entitled to the same pay and perks since they are also employed by the government ( even though their posts are co-terminus). However, SSA teachers claimed that they were appointed as “regular teachers” with same pay and perks of regular employees as mentioned in their appointment orders. This indicates that the issue has too many grey areas.
DailyDevotion Getting There (1) Come to Me… —Matthew 11:28 Where sin and sorrow stops, and the song of the saint starts. Do I really want to get there? I can right now. The questions that truly matter in life are remarkably few, and they are all answered by these words— “Come to Me.” Our Lord’s words are not, “Do this, or don’t do that,” but— “Come to me.” If I will simply come to Jesus, my real life will be brought into harmony with my real desires. I will actually cease from sin, and will find the song of the Lord beginning in my life. Have you ever come to Jesus? Look at the stubbornness of your heart. You would rather do anything than this one simple childlike thing— “Come to Me.” If you really want to experience ceasing from sin, you must come to Jesus. Jesus Christ makes Himself the test to determine your genuineness. Look how He used the word come. At the most unexpected moments in your life there is this whisper of the Lord— “Come to Me,” and you are immediately drawn to Him. Personal contact with Jesus changes everything. Be “foolish” enough to come and commit yourself to what He says. The attitude necessary for you to come to Him is one where your will has made the determination to let go of everything and deliberately commit it all to Him. “…and I will give you rest”— that is, “I will sustain you, causing you to stand firm.” He is not saying, “I will put you to bed, hold your hand, and sing you to sleep.” But, in essence, He is saying, “I will get you out of bed— out of your listlessness and exhaustion, and out of your condition of being half dead while you are still alive. I will penetrate you with the spirit of life, and you will be sustained by the perfection of vital activity.” Yet we become so weak and pitiful and talk about “suffering” the will of the Lord! Where is the majestic vitality and the power of the Son of God in that?

esearch has revealed that there is a colony of cockroaches on the moon, the descendants of the cockroach that went in Apollo 11. You don’t believe me? Didn’t you read it in the papers? A magazine article? On WhatsApp? It is probably true, otherwise why would so many people write about it. That is how the human mind works. When a person hears the same information several times, no matter how absurd it is, the mind starts convincing us of its truthfulness. WhatsApp forwards are a classic example of this, where, if misinformation is circulated a number of times, it takes on the status of truth. This is called the illusory truth effect. Researchers, led by Liza Fazio at Vanderbilt University, have shown that when one hears something for the second or third time, the brain responds faster to it. This faster response is wrongly considered by the person to be a signal for the information being true. Gord Pennycook, a psychologist at Yale University, studies the spread of misinformation, and has shown through experiments that when participants were told something and then told the same thing the next day their familiarity with the news led them to rate it as being true. The frustrating truth about the illusory truth effect is that it happens to us unthinkingly. Even people who are knowledgeable about topics can fall prey to it, specially if it is reinforced by an equally lazy “mentor” type like a teacher/doctor/parent. In 2015, Fazio and co-authors
published a paper that found that prior knowledge about a topic doesn’t inoculate you to the effect. The illusory truth effect has been studied for decades. Typically, experimenters in these studies ask participants to rate a series of trivia statements as true or false. Hours, weeks, or even months later, the experimenters bring the participants back again for a quiz. On that second visit, some of the statements are new and some are repeats. And it’s here that the effect shows itself: Participants are reliably more likely to rate statements they’ve seen before as being true — regardless of whether they are. When you’re hearing something for the second or third time, your brain becomes faster to respond to it. “And your brain misattributes that fluency as a signal for it being true,” says Fazio “The more you hear something, the more you’ll have this gut-level feeling that maybe it’s true.” People often pass on information without validating its source. The internet is full of amazing seeds that make you lose weight immediately, miracle hair oils and, of course, cancer cures. Studies have shown that fake information tends to circulate much faster than real information, and is remembered and believed by people for a longer period of time. This is especially true when the information encountered is in line with our beliefs or desires. E.g. immigrants are the cause of all social and economic issues, women are bad drivers, the British are responsible for all of India’s problems,
It is about yours drugs must be tested on animals before being ready for human consumption and so on. Does that last one sound familiar? Many of you might be thinking “But of course drugs have to be tested on animals. Scientists have been doing so for 100 years, so it must be necessary.” While we expect politicians to tell lies, no one exaggerates and twists truth as much as the so called scientist. 100 years later we are no closer to even discovering what causes cancer – much less what cures it. But tests on over 50 million animals go on annually and, in order to justify this , things are periodically put into the papers that a cure is just round the corner. We have not even been able to deal with teenage acne, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer’s – all of which are on the rise – but scientific misinformation goes on to keep us from questioning the huge amounts of money given by governments and charities to pay salaries. Animals are completely different from humans –anatomically, genetically and metabolically – even their basic cellular structures. So, even if a particular medicine or procedure is effective or safe on an animal, it may have adverse
effects on humans. Even more importantly, human diseases occur naturally, while experiments on animals involve an artificial re-creation of the disease in the animal, which is inevitably inaccurate. Giving a rat diabetes, by destroying its pancreas and then injecting it with drugs to see its effect on the disease, has no bearing at all on the human condition. Rats have been genetically modified to be cancer ridden. Not one experiment on them has shown the way forward to curing the disease in humans. Data derived from testing on animals cannot be accurately extrapolated to humans. The American Federal Agency for Food and Drug Administration has confirmed that nine out of ten drugs, shown to be successful in animal tests, have failed in human trials. E.g. a drug named Cylert was passed through animal tests and proposed to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. However, when administered to children it had disastrous effects, causing liver failure in 13 children, 11 of whom either died or had to undergo liver transplants. Vaccines tested on animals pass the tests. The same vaccines given to children in India have caused so many recent deaths.
Nagaland Post, Dimapur TUESDAY, JUNE 12, 2018
Clearly, animal testing is not just a waste of time and money, it also has the potential of huge damage to humans. The flipside is equally dangerous – there are drugs that fail animal testing but could potentially be very useful for humans. E.g. the path-breaking drug penicillin was found to be ineffective on rats and rabbits and had a deadly effect on guinea pigs and hamsters. Scientists were discarding it. However, since passing animal testing was not considered mandatory at that time, it was tested directly on humans and opened up the entire field of antibiotics for human welfare. Because the scientists are so stubborn about animal testing, there may be a number of potential cures that have never reached us. Despite common sense telling us that a rat is not a monkey is not a human, animal testing has been mandatory for decades and is allowed, even encouraged, by non scientific people who falsely believe it to be useful. This is a real life example of the illusory truth effect. New technologies have now been developed, which are more effective ways of predicting effects on humans. We have mass spectrometry, genome mapping, innovative imaging techniques and highly developed computer models capable of simulating parts of the human body, to name just a few. In-vitro experiments, using human blood and tissue to determine toxicity. have 2-3 times more accurate results than animal testing. Research on humans, such as clinical studies
by analyzing a patient’s condition and responses to treatments, provide vital information, and have given us treatments for childhood leukaemia, thyroid disease, current HIV and AIDS therapies and many more. Similarly, autopsies have given critical information about human bodies and their interaction with a variety of drugs and procedures. Even though we encounter new and valid information, we continue supporting the pointless practice of animal testing, under the false belief that it is useful to medical research. Scientists, universities and big pharmaceutical companies have been perpetuating this belief systematically for years, as it helps them accumulate huge research funding and cover up their inaction and inefficiency. Companies that earn millions selling harmful products like cigarettes, sugar, colas, genetically modified foods, polluting cars etc., benefit by influencing research and hiding the real effects of their products on people by saying that their products are safe based on ‘successful’ animal tests. This age, more than any other, is, on one hand, victim to an overload of information, giving us little time to go into details. On the other, it is easy to expose fraud which has been posing as science. I would encourage you to read up on the failure and potential disasters of animal testing, because it is not about the animal’s life: it is about yours.

Recommendation for capacity building programmes for judges
T
he judiciary is known to be the conscience keeper of a nation. It has always played a pertinent role in upholding the principle of checks and balances and preventing the occurrence of malpractices. It is considered as a weapon in the hands of the people as it preserves attributes like equality and the dignity of the citizens. With the advent of time and modernization of the human society, justice is now perceived as a fundamental right. To protect all these, it is necessary that the judiciary is actively involved in the functioning of the country and delivers all that the institution stands for. The Indian judiciary has had a glorious past and holds pride in having a transparent mechanism of functioning and being independent from any intrusion from any other government organ. Despite this structural leeway and immunity, the judiciary of our country has not been able to effectuate justice in the true sense. When compared globally it has been ranked quite low. According the WJP Rule of Law Index the accolade of the best system has been backed by Denmark which has received 0.89 points, followed by Norway with 0.88 whereas India has merely received 0.51 points. The Indian judicial system is in an appalling state. It suffers from apathy and requires an expeditious redemption. On having an assiduous examination, one of the most poignant issue which does the rounds is pendency of cases. It was reported that there was a backlog of 2.7crore cases as of 2010. There can be only two plausible reasons meted out for the same; one could be paucity of judges (there was a vacancy of more than 4500 judges as reported in the year 2010) and incompetence of judges. Addressing the latter, not to say that our judges are inferior, but
that the judicial knowledge imparted to them is insufficient and does not entirely equip them to tackle the ground realities of such an enormously populated and diversified state like India. This results in deterioration of the quality of decisions made as well as prolonging the decision making process. Hence it is of paramount importance that they are introduced to capacity building programmes to facilitate them in the decision making process. Now what exactly is capacity building? The term remains to have an ambiguous status and no concrete definition has yet been developed to explain the term. To the array of definitions and opinions which have been expressed on the term, to provide clarity, one can look at the definition provided by UNEP i.e. United Nations Environment Programme which has described it as building abilities, relationships and values that will enable organizations, groups and individuals to improve their performance and achieve their development objectives. An initiative like this would aid the judiciary in providing better services to the citizens and even attaining success in adverse conditions. This would involve working on boosting the human resource and physical infrastructure, but for the purpose of the article I will be focusing on the former. Building on this, governments all across the world have introduced capacity building programmes for their judges. One of the notable mentions is Bulgaria. The government and the European Court of Human Rights till 2016 have sent nine judges to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg to gain firsthand knowledge on how to apply precedents and use cases from Bulgaria as well as other nations. Another such effort was
initiated by the European Commission. The proposal was meted out in the year 2011 by the European Parliament and was called the European Judicial Training programme. Another story from the subcontinent is of Bangladesh. Though the result was deemed to be unsatisfactory, the mere fact that they took cognizance of the issue and made an earnest effort to rectify it makes it worth mentioning. The main objective was to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability of the civil justice delivery system. A Judicial Training Institute was made and the judges were given training in new technology, case management and court administration. If such a small state which is significantly less developed than India can exhibit such a foresight, then why not India? Needless to say, similar efforts have also been taken up by the Indian government. The Judicial Academy of India conducted 70 programmes from April 2014 to April 2015. These comprised of orientation prgrammes and conferences. For example, one of them was a conference organized for the judges presiding over special courts established to deal with cases related to drugs called the NDPS Courts. Though a humongous amount of capacity building programmes have been conducted, it is quite saddening to learn that these haven’t been impactful and our judiciary continues to suffer from the aforementioned issues. On studying the various programmes I think these suffer from certain lacunae which is curtailing these from being fruitful. Firstly, all of these are orientations and conferences; in short, every judge’s attendance isn’t mandatory. Therefore not all judges of the country attend these. Also these are
for a short duration, having a maximum span of seven days. On the contrary, it would be more advantageous if these materialize into courses that are mandatory for every judge to attend. These could be graded and scoring well in them, should be taken as a criterion to get promotion. This would further contribute in making the process of promotions more transparent and erasing the tarnished image of judiciary with malpractices like nepotism. The curriculum could include imparting knowledge on landmark judgments, how to solve cases effectively without having a lot of hearings, but also basics like how to deal with the police and witnesses, how to improve their communication skills, to match pace with the technologically advancing society (for example use information available on electronic gadgets and social media as substantive evidence), to take a decision objectively keeping aside one’s prejudices but at the same time taking into account the circumstances of the culprit and victim etc. Secondly as these are conferences and orientations, people are merely sharing their experiences. I am not discounting the worth of wisdom, but I think these could be made more enriching if legal knowledge is imparted as well. Judges and scholars from all across the world should be called and programmes planned to better equip our unit of judges. Experiences should not be limited to India and our judges should be given a world view on the current burning issues. Having academicians to impart formal training to our judges would also continue their association with the scholarly world. This would enable them to a better informed perspective on the legal stance of innumerable countries on a topic and unfold a more befitting
one for India. Taking the example of countries like Bulgaria, even India could send a batch of judges yearly to other countries with better judicial systems to train them and give them an exposure on how to deal with cases expeditiously. Thirdly as the judicial academies (both state and national) have a lot of work load, it is advisable to raise another organization within each state having its headquarters in the capital (for coordinating activities across India) for organizing these programmes. As this organization would be primarily dealing with this task, it would be able to channelize its entire energy into effective conduction of these programmes. Something similar was recommended by the 13th Finance Commission in the year 2010 in alliance
with the National Judicial Academy and Ministry of Finance but to our dismay till date there hasn’t been an effective implementation of the recommendations. India is the seventh largest country and the most populous democracy in the world. To attest a sustained progress in all sectors it must be efficacious in implementing its set objectives. For this, the various governmental institutions and the public sector must work in unison towards achieving this goal. Hence it is essential that we introduce capacity building programmes to equip our judiciary to tackle the plethora of issues that our society is dealing with and provide the people with justice.

Sir,
Famine in Nagaland
Severe famine hits upon hundreds of Nagaland SSA Contractual Employees when Government of Nagaland held up the meager salary of the whole state SSA Contractual Employees (DMAs, EBRCs and Substitute Teachers) for almost 15 Months. The man made famine impeded when the Government of Nagaland found its easy prey upon the silence of the employees while it continued escalating with its hyper corruption. The aggrieved employees further lament why everything in Nagaland have to resort into putting up petitions which actually is not required in the first place and eventually leading to unnecessary agitation and strikes where the masses were never from the down trodden but by the aristocrats and the oligarchs. On the other hand, in hunger and even till on the verge of death, the incumbents continue to serve the government with outmost sincerity under heavy laden duty demand these whole 15 Months is unimaginable. Yet, under the unfavorable circumstance it could be an impending catastrophe for both the Victims and the Department if Government of Nagaland fails to attend the exigency of the victims of the already erupted FAMINE at the earliest possible time.

New Delhi, Jun 11 (IANS): The CBI on Monday denied questioning of any Chief Medical Officer (CMO) or officials working under Delhi government in recent days in connection with an alleged case being probed by it for hiring creative teams for Mohalla clinics, schools and other such programmes. The Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) response came after Delhi
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday alleged the agency of investigating Mohalla clinics and summoning a number of its officials, including all CMOs and other government officials. “We did not question any CMO yesterday (Sunday) or today (Monday),” said a CBI official who requested anonymity. The agency, however, said it had questioned few
CMOs and doctors in the alleged case last month. Last year, the CBI had initiated a preliminary enquiry related to the hiring of 24 architects without following the laid-down rules and norms on the request of then Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung. The CBI official also denied Kejriwal’s allegation that it seized about three lakh pages of documents related to the case.
Prasad justifies govt’s move on judges’ appointment case NEW DELHI, Jun 11 (AGENCIES): The executive was not committing a “cardinal sin” by seeking reconsideration of some proposals made by the Supreme Court collegium on the appointment of judges, Law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said on Monday amid charges by the opposition that the government was stalling appointments to the higher judiciary. He also said that the judiciary had enough “foresight and statesmanship” to settle differences within it and urged the political class to remain “immune” from the issue. The law minister also made a veiled attack on the Congress, claiming that parties which had lost in elections were using courts
to hit out at the ruling party through “sponsored litigation”. Referring to allegations that the government was stalling appointments to the Supreme Court and the 24 high courts, Prasad said neither the law minister nor the law ministry was a “post office” which would only process recommendations of the collegium on the appointment of judges. The government had come under attack when it
returned to the collegium its recommendation to elevate Uttarakhand high court Chief Justice K M Joseph to the Supreme Court, citing seniority and regional imbalance. He said the government respected the verdict of the Supreme Court to quash the National Judicial Appointments Commission Act which sought to give the executive a larger say in judicial appoint-

Nirav Modi along with his wife Ami -- a US citizen, brother Nishal -- a Belgian, and uncle Choksi -- Gitanjali group’s promoter, had fled the country in January + first week this year, before the PNB approached CBI with a complaint against his companies for allegedly cheating through fraudulent issuance of Letters of Undertakings (LoUs) and Foreign Letters of Credit (FLCs). CBI recently charged both Nirav Modi and Choksi separately. The CBI, in its chargesheets filed last month, alleged that Nirav, through his companies, siphoned off funds to the tune of Rs 6,498.20 crore using fraudulent LoUs issued from PNB’s Brady House branch in Mum-

bai. Choksi swindled Rs 7080.86 crore, making it possibly the biggest banking scam in the country. An additional loan default of over Rs 5,000 crore to Choksi’s companies is also a matter of probe under the CBI. Nirav Modi and Choksi, through their companies, availed credit from overseas branches of Indian banks using the fraudulent guarantees of the PNB given through LoUs and letters of credit which were not repaid bringing the liability on the state-run bank, CBI officials said. An LoU is a guarantee given by an issuing bank to Indian banks having branches abroad to grant short-term credit to the applicant. The instructions for transferring the funds were allegedly issued by a bank employee, Gokulnath Shetty, using an international messaging system for banking called SWIFT platform + and without making their subsequent entries in the PNB’s internal banking software, thus bypassing scrutiny in the bank. Former MD of PNB Usha Ananthasubramanian has also named by CBI in its chargesheet in the scam.

New Delhi, Jun 11 (IANS): Soon after rebel AAP legislator Kapil Mishra filed a plea in the Delhi High Court against state Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s low attendance in the assembly, Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Singh on Monday said he will file a petition seeking details of Prime Minister Narendra Modis presence in Parliament. “In four years, the Prime Minister has taken part once in discussing government bill, five times in introduction of new ministers, six times he was part of thanksgiving proposal and twice participated in special discussions. But during this period, he has addressed 800 rally,” Singh said in his tweet. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader said he would file an application in the Delhi High Court seeking details of Modi’s attendance in Parliament and ensure his presence in the House. Singh said that Modi remained busy with his foreign trips and did not attend Parliament, which was a matter of great concern. Singh also said that despite being in the premises, he did not show up in the House. The leader also targeted Mishra and asked why was he silent on Modi’s low attendance. He said: “Despite appeal by the entire opposition, Narendra Modi does

thousands” of Indian motorcycles to the US. Trump had said that the decision of the Indian government to reduce the tariff from 75 percent to 50 percent was not enough and asked that it should be reciprocal, as the US imposes “zero tax” on the import of motorcycles. The US President had also referred to a conversation he had with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling him a “beautiful man”. “And a great gentleman called me from India and he said, we have just reduced the tariff on motorcycles, reduced it down to 50 percent from 75, and even 100 percent,” he said. Pitching for a “reciprocal tax” on countries that he said “abuse” their trade relationships with the US, he put out a sharp message: “So I say we should have reciprocal taxes for a case like that. I’m not blaming India. I think it’s great that they can get away with it. I don’t know why people allowed them to get away with it. But there’s an example that’s very unfair. And I think we should have a reciprocal tax.”

Mumbai, Jun 11 (PTI): Snapping two consecutive sessions of decline, the rupee Monday staged a recovery to close 8 paise higher at 67.42 against the US currency on fresh bouts of dollar selling by exporters and corporates. Weakness in US dollar amidst slight reversal in US treasury yields also helped the domestic currency recoup some losses. The Indian currency had ended at a fresh one-week low of 67.50 last week due to hardening worries over rising global crude prices and sustained capital outflows.

New Delhi, Jun 11 (AGENCIES): US President Donald Trump has once again taken on India criticising its import tariff policies and alleged that most countries use the States as “piggy banks”. According to a report by Times of India, he left the G-7 summit in Canada on a sour note. “This isn’t just G7. I mean, we have India, where some of the tariffs are 100 per cent. A hundred per cent. And we charge nothing. We can’t do that,” said Trump as he threatened to stop doing trade with countries “who are being unfair” to the US. “We’re like the piggy bank that everybody is robbing,” said the US President at a press conference before making an early exit from the two-day summit in Quebec. “Can’t do that. We are talking to many countries, we are talking to all countries. And it’s going to stop. Or we’ll stop trading with them. And that’s a very profitable answer...” he added. Earlier this year, Trump had criticised India over import duty on the iconic Harley-Davidson motorcycles and had threatened to increase the import tariff on “thousands and

firm. The joint secretary said the World Bank had evinced interest to pump-in Rs 5,000 crore for the fund initially, but the government declined it because it wanted to start small for proving the concept. He said at present, the banking system does a bulk of infrastructure project financing and exposes itself to asset liability management (ALM) mismatches and hence, alternatives like raising of money through corporate bonds is necessary. It can be noted that the present state of the banking system, where all the lenders are saddled with NPAs, will also make it necessary to accommodate alternatives. Pratap said bank lending to the infra segment has slowed down in the past few years and the annual growth rates plummeted to 3 per cent between FY14 and FY17, against 43 per cent from FY2000 to FY13.

Listing the achievements of his ministry, Goyal said that there had been an increase of 59 per cent in the average pace of commissioning of new lines from 4.1 km per day between 2009 and 2014 to 6.53 km per day during 2014-2018. Goyal, who addressed the regional media in 12 cities simultaneously through video-conferencing, also said that concerns over the government’s ambitious bullet train project would be soon resolved and that the project was on track. “The bullet train project is on track. In this country there are always issues linked to any developmental project and new ideas. But we have to find solutions and move forward,” Goyal said. The minister also launched two mobile applications - ‘Rail Madad’ to help customers with complaints and ‘Menu On Rails’ through which passengers can see meals on offer onboard trains.

Pratap said there is a “mismatch” at present, where bonds floated by infrastructure finance firms are typically rated BBB, whereas regulatory agencies mandate a rating of at least ‘AA’ for investments by the long-term pension and insurance funds. He attributed the delay in fructification of the budget announcement to the time taken in amending the NBFC-CE (credit enhancement) notification by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and also getting all stakeholders together.

US offers security guarantees if North Korea denuclearises
Trump-Kim meeting be the first between a sitting US president and a North Korean leader.
“President Trump is going into this meeting with confidence, a positive attitude, and eagerness for real progress,” he said. “He has made it clear that if Kim Jong Un denuclearises there is a brighter future for North Korea. Tomorrow, we will get our clearest indication to date of whether Kim Jong Un truly shares this vision.” “A complete, verifiable, and irreversible denuclearisation of North Korea is the only outcome that the US will accept at the summit,” Pompeo told reporters at a crowded press conference. In retur n, he said, Washington would offer “different and unique” guarantees “to provide them sufficient certainty
that they can be comfortable that denuclearisation is not something that ends badly for them”. Pompeo refused to go into details of the security guarantees the US would offer to North Korea. But he said, “We will take actions to provide them sufficient certainty that they can be comfortable that denuclearisation is not something that ends badly for them,” Pompeo said. However, sanctions on North Korea will remain until denuclearisation has been achieved, he said. “President Tr ump believes that Kim has an unprecedented opportunity to change the trajectory of our relationship and bring peace and prosperity to his country,” Pompeo said.
Trump lashes out at America’s key allies Angela Merkel said on TV late on Sunday that his change of heart was “sobering and a little depressing”. The French presidency had earlier condemned “fits of anger”. After Mr Trump had left the summit in Quebec he rounded on Justin Trudeau personally, suggesting the Canadian prime minister was “very dishonest and weak” and “acts hurt when called out”. In a news conference Mr Trudeau had reasserted his opposition to US tariffs on steel and aluminium, and vowed to press ahead with retaliatory moves on 1 July. In Quebec at the G7
the sherpas, political advisers and draftsmen toiled through two nights to find a form of words that all sides could sign up to. I left before the end of the summit to embark on a marathon journey from Canada to Singapore. When I left Quebec all the talk was there would be no agreement. But lo, by the time I landed in Hong Kong to change flights I read that there was a joint communique. Success. Only to see a tweet from Donald Trump a little later rescinding his signature over something Justin Trudeau had said at his news conference. Unbelievable.

Qatar takes UAE to U.N. human rights court over boycott
Islamabad, Jun 11 (PTI): Pakistan’s ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif Monday accused the country chief justice of rushing through the hearings in the three corruption cases filed against him, terming it an “extremely unfortunate” example of “oppression and injustice”. The Supreme Court had disqualified Sharif, 68, last year, forcing the three-time prime minister to resign. Sharif has dismissed as politically motivated the corruption charges linked to the Panama Papers case. Sharif claimed that his fundamental rights were being violated as no lawyer would take up a case where he is not even allowed time to prepare and is asked to appear even on the weekends. Sharif was referring to his lawyer Khawaja Harris who failed to represent him today, arguing that he can neither work under pressure nor on the weekends as demanded by the Accountability Court. “Does the chief justice (Mian Saqib Nisar) not know that justice rushed is justice crushed?” Sharif, 68, was quoted as saying by the Dawn newspaper. “This last episode of the game that began with Panama [papers] is an extremely unfortunate example of oppression and injustice,” he said, repeat-

China’s Sunway TaihuLight supercomputer, until now the world’s most powerful machine, has a processing power of 93 petaflops. Summit’s initial uses will include areas of astrophysics, cancer research and systems biology. It is housed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee, where it was developed in partnership with IBM and NVidia. Supercomputers

Doha denies that and says the pressure is aimed at stripping it of its sovereignty. “As set forth in detail in Qatar’s application to the International Court, the UAE led these actions, which have had a devastating effect on the human rights of Qataris and residents of Qatar,” the government said in a statement. The Qatari government said the UAE enacted a series of measures that discriminate against Qataris.
ing his previous claims of injustices meted out to him in the case. As the Accountability Court Judge Muhammad Bashir resumed proceedings in the Al-Azizia case, one of the three graft cases, against Sharif, Harris withdrew, prompting the judge to order the trial court to proceed on a daily basis and even conduct hearings on Saturdays. The court asked Sharif if he would engage another lawyer or continue with Harris. Sharif said he needed time to make a decision and the hearing was adjourned till tomorrow. “I do not know whether my right to defence is more important or a decision being given before election. Are the standards of law and justice important or a decision before elections? Are the fundamental rights of a Pakistani citizen important or a decision before elections?” Sharif later told reporters. Harris has been Sharif’s lawyer in all three cases filed against him and his family on September 8 following his disqualification as the premier on July 28. Fawad Chaudhry of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf said that Sharif ’s lawyer’s statement was a ploy by Sharif to delay the conclusion in the cases.

Kabul, Jun 11 (Agencies): At least 12 people were killed and 31 wounded when a suicide attacker blew himself up among government ministry employees in Kabul who had left work early for Ramadan and were waiting to take a bus home, officials said.

L o n d o n, J u n 1 1 (Agencies): US President Donald Trump has fired off a string of angry tweets criticising America’s closest allies hours after leaving a divisive G7 summit in Canada. Mr Trump said the US paid “close to the entire cost of Nato” to help protect countries that “rip us off on trade”. “Fair trade is now to be called fool trade,” he added in response to the threat of new tariffs against the US. His tirade came after G7 allies criticised his decision to reject a joint communique. German Chancellor
“The fact that our two leaders are sitting down face-to-face is a sign of the enormous potential to accomplish something that will immensely benefit both of our peoples and the entire world,” he said. He said previous American administrations have been “fooled” by North Korea but the Trump Administration has got experts on non-proliferation and weapons of mass destruction on the ground to verify Pyongyang’s willingness to denuclearise. Pompeo said President Trump is fully prepared for the meeting with Kim. National Security Council spokesman Robert Palladino said President Trump intends to meet one on one with Kim. “We can expect a one on one at the beginning,” Palladino said. The diplomats from the two sides are engaged in hectic parleys behind closed doors to narrow their differences. The summit could lay the groundwork for ending a nuclear stand-off between the two countries and see Pyongyang dismantle its arsenal in return for economic help and security guarantees.
Islamabad, Jun 11 (IANS): The Pakistan Supreme Court on Monday issued an order to unblock former President Pervez Musharraf ’s passport and his computerised national identity card (CNIC) so that he can return to the country. Earlier this month, the Interior Ministr y asked the National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) and the Directorate General of Immigration and Passports to carry out the suspensions, reports Dawn news. “Why would you block the card? To give him a reason to not return?” the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Saqib Nisar asked Nadra Chairman Usman Mobin, who was present at the hearing. “Musharraf should return and face the cases against him.” The CJP reiterated his earlier order that Musharraf should not be arrested on his way to court from the airport, Dawn news reported. The court also issued an order stating that a tribunal should be formed within two days to conduct the pending treason trial against Musharraf.

Singapore, Jun 11 (PTI): The US Monday offered “unique” security guarantees to North Korea in return for a “complete, verifiable and irreversible” denuclearisation as the two sides made “progress” in negotiations on the eve of a historic summit between President Donald Trump and Chairman Kim Jongun here that could reshape the geopolitics of the AsiaPacific region. Ahead of the muchanticipated summit at the Capella Hotel on Sentosa Island, Trump hoped that a “nice” outcome could be reached from what he said would be a “very interesting meeting” with Kim which will focus on the nuclear arsenal the North has spent decades developing. The summit - the first between a sitting US president and the North Korean leader - will mark a turnaround of relations between Trump and Kim after a long-running exchange of furious threats and insults. Secretar y of State Mike Pompeo said that the preparatory talks were “moving quite rapidly” and he expected them to reach what he called “a logical conclusion” even earlier than the US anticipated.

NVCO wants Protection & Regulation Act in the state
DIMAPUR: The Nagaland Voluntary Consumers’ Organisation (NVCO) had made an strong appeal to the State Government that the Public Services (Protection & Regulation) Act must be enacted in the state for effective public service delivery to its citizen in the state. NVCO press & media cell, in a press release, said enacting it would also curb corruption in the state government functionaries. While past governments have given the excuse of financial constraints, NVCO said that the PDA cannot be excuses as it has been draining the state exchequer by appointing people of their choice to high ranks even to the ranks of cabinet and state ministers by totally ignoring the provisions of the Constitution of India. “Right to Service legislation ensures delivery of time bound services to the public. If the concerned officer fails to provide the service in time, he will have to pay a fine” it explained.
NVCO pointed out that at present the common man has to face a lot of problems and pay bribes to avail the needed public services. The release cited examples of other states that had enacted the Act, beginning with Madhya Pradesh on August 18, 2010 while several other states had enacted similar laws. In Bihar, it stated, police verification report for passports is set for seven days; postmortem report -- three days, etc. “The faults in electricity connection will be set right within four hours” it stated adding that people would no longer need to run around offices and grease the palms of government employees to get their work done after this act is passed. Citing several more examples, the press release said the NVCO had launched the Public Services Delivery campaign during the 2016 Vigilance Awareness Week and since then the NVCO had been continually appealing to the state government to introduce similar legislation.

Sena, Pawar question claim about plot to assassinate PM
Mumbai, Jun 11 (PTI): The ruling BJP’s ally Shiv Sena and NCP chief Sharad Pawar have mocked and questioned Maharashtra government’s claim that Maoists were plotting to assassinate Prime Minister Narendra Modi, terming it as “laughable” and a story of a horror film. While the Shiv Sena said the claim “does not seem to be legitimate”, Pawar said the BJP was playing the “threat letter card” to gain sympathy. The comments came over a claim by Maharashtra police that Maoists were plotting assassination of the prime minister as well as Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. The police, after arresting five people with alleged maoist links last week, had said that a letter was seized from the house of one of them in which there was a suggestion about assassinating Modi in “Rajiv Gandhi-type incident”. “.. the plot to assassinate them (Modi and Fadnavis) seems mysterious and the story of a horror film,” said an editorial in Sena mouthpiece ‘Saamna’, while noting that a letter purportedly suggesting
Sharad Yadav (L) and Uddhav Thackeray. (file)
this has come to light. It said the issue is being milked for political purpose. Quoting contents of the purported Maoist letter, the editorial said, “Modi has succeeded in forming governments in 15 states. If this continues, the organisation will be in trouble. And thus, Modi should be eliminated. All this was revealed by the police which seems laughable.” It added, “This conspiracy does not seem to be legitimate, is what being said by the experts.” On the one hand, Naxalites plan to procure M-4 assault rifles along with four lakh rounds of ammunition and on the other hand, leave behind an assassination plot as evidence, the editorial wondered while referring to the police claim.
The Sena said that Modi’s security is as strong as Mossad (Israel’s intelligence agency) and it is virtually impossible for anybody to penetrate it. Similarly, Fadnavis has converted the state secretariat into a “fortress”, where the movement of common man has become difficult, it said. In remarks laced with sarcasm, the Sena said Modi and Fadnavis should be provided with elaborate security cover so that they live even if “it is ok if lakhs of people die” (in Naxalite attacks). Earlier, Pawar raised doubts over the veracity of the threat letter. “The BJP has realised that they are losing the popular support. In order to gain sympathy, the BJP is now playing the threat

Reminding about the “Criminal Law Amendment Ordinance, 2018”, which made amendments in the Indian Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure, Indian Evidence Act and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, MTLT was hopeful of the probe to be completed within two months. It further appealed to the law enforcing agencies to leave no stones unturned and also demanded that the accused should not be granted bail under
any circumstance. Any lapses while this case is being pursued and investigated will be viewed seriously and any unwanted fallout will be the sole responsibility of the law enforcing agencies, MTLT asserted. M e a n w h i l e, t h e MTLT has expressed sympathy and solidarity with the victim and demanded the district administration to rehabilitate the victim in the most appropriate manner.

Rupani slams Farmers’ protests in Gujarat
Rajkot (Guj), Jun 11 (PTI): Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani has alleged that farmers’ agitations being witnessed in the state were a “political stunt” of the opposition and urged cultivators not to get misled. The state government always takes care of farmers, pays attention to their problems and constantly makes efforts to address their problems, he said. Rupani was speaking during programme organised by a national news channel here last night. The governments at the Centre and in Gujarat are ready to solve problems faced by farmers. Therefore, this time the state government has purchased agriculture produce worth Rs 5 crore at the minimum support price, he said. “The protests by farmers in Gujarat are a political stunt of the opposition only because general elections would be held next year,” Rupani said, without naming any party.
“The opposition remembers farmers’ problems only when elections are near, but farmers in Gujarat would not be misguided by opposition parties,” he said. The Congress had yesterday carried out a statewide protest wherein their workers threw agricultural produce and milk on roads. Later, the police had detained several Congress workers. Rupani said the state government has laid emphasis on the ‘zero tolerance for corruption’ methodology of work in its departments and to strengthen its antigraft wing. “Therefore, many corrupt government employees were caught accepting bribes recently in the state,” he said. To eradicate corruption, the state government has started granting permissions online, within 24 hours, for construction works in Gujarat, the chief minister said.
letter card. However, I am sure that the people will not fall prey to such tactics,” he said at a function in Pune yesterday. “I have spoken to a senior retired police officer who told me that when such letters come they do not go to media but to the security agencies which make sure that adequate security measures are taken,” the former chief minister said. Fadnavis hit out at Pawar, saying he was not expected to “stoop to this level”. “It is very unfortunate that Sharad Pawar ji is raising doubts about the communication seized by the police which reveals the plot to assassinate Hon PM Narendra Modi ji. Hon PM Narendra Modi ji is the leader of our nation and not just of a political party,” Fadnavis tweeted last night. “@PawarSpeaks is not expected to stoop down to this level. Police has all the evidences and truth will prevail,” his tweet further stated. In a tweet in Marathi, Fadnavis said that “Pawar ji should play politics of the nation and not politics of hatred.”
India to share ocean buoy data: official Panaji, Jun 11 (PTI): In a significant decision, India today announced that it would share data obtained by its ocean buoys, positioned outside the country’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ), with others nations without any restrictions. These buoys, having sensors for lower atmosphere and sub surface observations, are located in the Indian Ocean and help forecast monsoon as well as provide cyclone warnings. However, data from buoys within the country’s EEZ would not be shared due to security reasons, a senior official said. “It was a kind of policy that we had to withhold the data from these buoys. But now we thought withholding the data may not help us. We are opening up even atmospheric data. It will be given free of cost,” M Rajeevan, Secretary, Ministry of Earth Sciences told reporters here today. He was speaking on the sidelines of the second India-USA colloquium on “Earth Observations and Sciences for Society and Economy”. Rajeevan said data from these buoys situated in international waters would be provided to all countries without any restriction.
Cong meet on ‘gifting’ of RS seat to ally in Kerala T h i ru va na n thapuram, Jun 11 (IANS): Tempers ran high at the meeting of Political Affairs Committee of Congress’ Kerala unit here on Monday over the manner in which a Rajya Sabha seat which should have gone to the party was “gifted” to the Kerala Congress-Mani which returned to the Congressled UDF after nearly two years. The most vocal in the meeting turned out to be outgoing Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman P.J. Kurien, who was aiming for a fourth successive term in the upper house, but accused former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy of scuttling his chances. The lone seat which the Congress could have won, based on its strength in the assembly, was handed over to Kerala Congress-Mani and the ire of Kurien and a section of the committee was that this issue was not discussed in the committee, but Chandy, along with Leader of Opposition Ramesh Chennithala and state party president M.M. Hassan themselves decided about it and briefed Congress President Rahul Gandhi about the need for gifting it.

Kathua case: Witnesses will appear, SSP assures court PATHANKOT, Jun 11 AGENCIES): A senior officer of Jammu and Kashmir’s Crime Branch on Monday assured the district and sessions court, conducting the trial in the Kathua rape and murder case, that the police would ensure the presence of prosecution witnesses during the hearing, lawyers said. The court, which has started recording the statements of witnesses in the case of the rape and murder of an eight-year-old girl in Kathua district, last week expressed dismay over the absence of witnesses despite 17 summons being issued. Senior Superintendent of Police, Crime Branch, Ramesh Kumar Jalla, who headed the investigation, appeared in the court soon after the day’s in-camera proceedings started and assured Judge Tajwinder Singh that the police would ensure the presence of witnesses from here on. The court had issued directions for the SSP’s personal appearance. The officer assured the court that all the witnesses would depose in the court and record their statements on time in future, defence lawyer Aseem Sawhney told re-
porters when the court broke for lunch. According to other lawyers and officials, a prosecution witness today started reconstruction of the entire crime scene before the court and his statement was being recorded. “Because it is an incamera trial, we will not be able to disclose anything and are restricting ourselves. What we can say only is that the witnesses have appeared and the proceedings are going on,” Sawhney, flanked by other members of his team, said. He said the public prosecution had filed their objections and an inquiry was in progress on an ap-
plication moved by the defence counsel about one of the seven accused - Parvesh Kumar alias Mannu - being a juvenile. Last week, the court, which is hearing the case on directions of the Supreme Court, had framed charges of rape and murder against seven of the eight accused, paving the way for the beginning of the trial against them. The eighth accused in the brutal rape and murder of an eight-year-old girl at Kathua in January this year is a juvenile, facing trial in a juvenile court in Jammu and Kashmir. His fate is yet to be decided after the Crime Branch contested his claim that he was a minor.

India asks UK to check antiIndia activities on its soil
New Delhi, Jun 11 (PTI): India Monday conveyed to the United Kingdom its disappointment over the “unabated” anti-India activities by some Kashmiri and Sikh groups in that country and desecration of national flag during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to London in April, officials said here. During an hour long meeting here, Union Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju told UK Minister of State for Counter Extremism Baroness Williams that terrorism cannot be seen with a prismatic view and urged him to check antiIndia activities on its soil, according to a Home Ministry statement. An official privy to the meeting said the Indian side expressed its disappointment with the “unabated anti-India activities by some Kashmiri and Sikh groups in the UK and the increasing instances of collusion between Kashmiri and Sikh separatists”. The UK delegation has been told that it should take cognisance of such anti-India activities on
British soil and take steps to curb them as continuance of anti-India activities does not bode well for both the countries, the official said The Indian delegation also conveyed its deep disappointment and shock at the desecration of Indian flag at Parliament Square in London by miscreants in the presence of Metropolitan Police during Modi’s visit to the UK in April, another official said. The India side stressed on taking strong action against the culprits, who were caught on video, as UK police has failed to nab them Despite photographic evidence and witness statements, there have been no arrests or progress in the investigation which was quite disappointing, the British delegation has been told. Earlier, the issue of desecration of Indian flag was strongly taken up by the Indian High Commission in London with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The UK had conveyed its regret at the highest level and immediately replaced
the desecrated Indian flag with a new one. The Indian Mission has also submitted video and photographic evidences of culprits to Metropolitan Police and is following up with them. In its statement, the Home Ministry said the bilateral discussions covered variety of important issues ranging from cooperation in matters of migration, tackling extremism, extradition, sharing of criminal records etc. Underlining the need for cooperation in fighting international terrorism, Rijiju called for implementation of the recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to check money laundering and terrorist financing, the statement said. In response to the UK Minister’s request for facilitating repatriation of illegal migrants, Rijiju said while the issue of time-frames is important, the government would like to reassure itself about the completion of verification before repatriation process begins.

Pope accepts Chilean bishops’ resignation over abuse scandal
RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA, Jun 11 (Agencies): Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait have offered $2.5 billion in aid for Jordan to ease its economic crisis following a wave of antiausterity protests, the Saudi state media announced early Monday. Jordan has been rocked in recent days by mass protests against price rises and a proposed tax hike as the government pushes measures to slash the country’s debt, leading to the prime minister’s resignation. A four-nation summit in the holy city of Mecca, hosted by Saudi King Salman, offered Amman a bailout in the form of a deposit in the Jordanian central bank, World Bank guarantees as well as budgetary support over five years. “In light of the close brotherly ties... it was agreed that the three countries (Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait) would provide an economic aid package to Jordan totalling $2.5 billion,” the official Saudi Press Agency said.
The crucial summit was attended by Jordan’s King Abdullah II, who offered his gratitude to the three countries, adding the package will “contribute to overcoming the crisis”, according to SPA. The announcement comes after European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini on Sunday announced 20 million euros ($23.5 million) in aid for Jordan. Cash-strapped Jordan, a close US ally that relies heavily on donors, is struggling to curb its debt after securing a $723-million loan from the International Monetary Fund in 2016. Austerity measures tied to the IMF loan have seen prices of basic necessities rise across the kingdom -- culminating in a week of angry protests over tax proposals that forced prime minister Hani Mulki to resign. The authorities on Thursday announced they were withdrawing the unpopular legislation, but still face a mammoth task to balance popular demands with the need to reduce the public debt burden.
Lo n d o n, J u n 1 1 (Agencies): Pope Francis has accepted the resignation of three Chilean bishops, including the controversial Juan Barros, in the wake of a child sexual abuse scandal. Bishop Barros was accused of covering up sexual abuse committed by a priest in the 1980s and 1990s. Pope Francis has said that he made “grave mistakes” by originally defending Bishop Barros. All of Chile’s 34 Roman Catholic bishops had offered their resignations. The decision by the Pope to accept the resignation of three of the 34 was announced in a statement issued by the Vatican on Monday. Apart from Bishop Barros of Osorno, Archbishop Cristián Caro Cordero of Puerto Montt and Bishop Gonzalo Duarte García de Cortázar of Valparaíso will now be replaced. It was not clear if the move meant that the remaining 31 resignations would not be accepted. Pope Francis became involved in the scandal sur-

rounding Juan Barros when he defended the bishop during his visit to Chile in January. At the time he said that allegations against the bishop amounted to “slander”. “The day I see proof against Bishop Barros, then I will talk. There is not a single piece of evidence against him. It is all slander. Is that clear?” the Pope had said at the time. He later apologised to victims, saying: “I apologise to them if I hurt them without realising it, but it was a wound that I inflicted without meaning to.” The installation of Juan Barros as bishop of the southern city of Os-
orno in 2015 met with stiff resistance. More than 1,000 people wrote to Pope Francis asking him to review the appointment and hundreds showed up at the bishop’s installation ceremony in protest. They accused Bishop Barros of using his position in the Church to cover up the actions of his mentor, Fr Fernando Karadima, who was found guilty by the Vatican of sexually abusing children. Victims of Fernando Karadima said Juan Barros had been present when the priest had abused them. Bishop Barros denies any wrongdoing.

The study, presented at the Nutrition 2018 meeting in Boston, suggested that the participants saw their blood pressure drop 19 points, on average, after taking part in a lifestyle programme for just 14 days. “By adapting selected lifestyle health principles, half of the people in our study achieved normal
blood pressure within two weeks while avoiding the side effects and costs associated with blood pressure medications,” said lead researcher M. Alfredo Mejia, Associate Professor at Andrews University. The researchers found that the reduction in blood pressure accomplished by the programme was equivalent to what can be achieved using three halfdose standard medications for blood pressure. In addition, 93 per cent of the participants were able to either reduce the dose (24 per cent) or eliminate their blood pressure medications (69 per cent).

probably carried out those attacks. Russia is Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s main ally in his war against an armed opposition, now in its seventh year. Moumtzis said that a major battle for Idlib could be “much more complicated and brutal” than fighting for eastern Aleppo and eastern Ghouta - two rebel-held areas that surrendered with evacuations in 2016 and 2018, respectively. “We cannot see a military solution, it cannot take place,” he said. “Our worry is that with the Idlib situation we may have not (yet) seen the worst in Syria.” Islamic State and other militant groups are mingled in the population in Idlib, making it a “highly explosive” situation, he said. Referring to Turkey, Russia and Iran, which have held peace talks, he said: “This is a de-escalation area, we hope the Astana guarantors, everybody will do everything to ensure a calming down of situation.” “The message of today is that the emergency not over. We still see massive displacement, we still see massive humanitarian needs, and have huge concerns on the protection of civilians,” he said. An aid convoy reached Douma in the enclave of eastern Ghouta outside Damascus on Sunday, but the government did not allow U.N. aid workers to accompany it, he said, saying that direct access was vital.

She fell and pretended to be dead, and he shot her again in the foot. Despite the pain, she did not move for hours. “I didn’t want them to know I was alive,” she said. Finally, around midnight, a police officer entered the building and began firing blindly in the dark hallway. The bullets passed directly above where she lay. “I thought I was going to die for sure,” Musazai said.

GENEVA, Jun 11 (Agencies): An escalation in fighting and air strikes in Syria’s rebel-held Idlib province leaves 2.5 million civilians with “no place else to go” within their shattered homeland, the United Nations said on Monday. According to Reuters, Panos Moumtzis, the U.N. regional humanitarian coordinator, called on major powers to broker a settlement to end the war and avoid a bloodbath in Idlib. The northwest province, bordering Turkey, has become a “dumping ground” for civilians and fighters evacuated from other opposition-controlled areas, swelling its population, he said. “With this escalation, this deterioration, we worry really about seeing 2-1/2 million people becoming displaced more and more towards the border of Turkey if this is to continue,” Moumtzis told a news briefing in Geneva. “We also worry that for the people of Idlib, there is no other Idlib to take them out to, really this is the last location,” he said. Moumtzis cited reports of a deadly air strike on Sunday that had killed 11 people and hit a pediatric hospital. Air strikes on a village in Idlib killed at least 44 people overnight, the highest death toll in a single attack on the region this year, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Friday.

Lovato fans organise Star kids should grow beyond Robbie Williams to Demi ‘get well soon’ singalong their name, says Karan Johar kick off World Cup 2018 F

obbie Williams is to open the 2018 World Cup in Moscow just two years after Russian newspapers said he should be banned from performing there. The pop star, whose hits include Angels and Let Me Entertain You, will headline the tournament’s opening ceremony at the Luzhniki Stadium on Thursday. He will perform alongside Russian soprano Aida Garifullina, just half an hour before the first match kicks off. But he will presumably exclude the song Party Like A Russian from his setlist.
The track, which portrays Russia’s elite as unsmiling, super-rich autocrats who party on superyachts and hire thugs to settle disputes by putting “the boots in”, was roundly criticised in Russia upon its release in 2016. A number of Russian media outlets criticised Williams’ “offensive” stereotyping, while others predicted he would never play in the country again. “This will upset those who previously wanted him to perform, who brought him to Moscow, or wanted him to perform at their events abroad,” said Sergey Knyazev, a member of the
National Association of Event Organizers, in an interview with the Pro-Kremlin channel Life News. “None of these people, big corporations or individuals who want him at their event, want to end up as the butt of this joke. It is a joke about ‘new Russians,’” he added. But the storm seems to have blown over. Earlier this year, Williams was booked to perform for Russian billionaire and Arsenal shareholder Alisher Usmanov, at a glitzy after-hours party at Russia’s annual economic forum in St Petersburg. And the 44year-old will now perform in front of Russian President Vladimir Putin as the World Cup gets under way. Two-time World Cup winner Ronaldo will also take part in the ceremony, which will be broadcast live around the world immediately before the opening match between Russia and Saudi Arabia commences at 16:00 BST on Thursday.

ilmmaker Karan Johar avoided the use of the word “nepotism” -- which had sparked a roaring debate in Bollywood two years ago -- at the trailer launch of “Dhadak”, which marks the debut of late Sridevi’s daughter Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter. He says the talents -irrespective of their family name -- work hard to be where they are. Karan has launched a slew of celebrity children in Bollywood -- from Alia Bhatt to Varun Dhawan and now Janhvi to Ananya Pandey. At the trailer launch of “Dhadak”, Karan was asked what are the things he has to keep in mind when he makes films with such talents, who come with a film background. He said: “That they grow beyond their name and make their own identity. I think that is our responsibility and their responsibility.” “These days people focus more on names rather than the talent, but they tend to forget that one puts a lot of hard work, heart, dedica-

In the episode, Priyanka, who plays Alex Parrish, is an anti-terrorist officer who plots a nuclear attack in Manhattan to frame Pakistan for it, just days before an IndiaPakistan summit is to be held. The episode drew intense criticism from Indian fans. After ABC issued an
apology, Priyanka said sorry too. “I’m extremely saddened and sorry that some sentiments have been hurt by a recent episode of ‘Quantico’. That was not and would never be my intention. I sincerely apologize. I’m a proud Indian and that will never change,” Priyanka had tweeted. (IANS)

It is difficult.” Without mentioning the term “nepotism”, which had become widely used when actress Kangana Ranaut accused Karan of being a “flagbearer of nepotism” two years ago, he said: “We always use a tag... Like a word of the season. I know that word (nepotism) was doing around for last two years and I am again perhaps encouraging the same concept... But I will not utter the word. But I want to say, they are not here because of that word, but because of their hard work.” Asked what made him choose Janhvi and Ishaan
for the film “Dhadak”, a remake of the hit Marathi film “Sairat”, Karan said: “The story is about an innocent love story. To bring such innocence on-screen, I needed first-time talent.” He said Ishaan first struck him while judging a TV show with Ishaan’s step brother Shahid Kapoor. “I was judging a show with Shahid where Ishaan happened to meet him on the set. So I just saw Ishaan and got a glimpse of a certain body language, expression and personality. So, I instinctively decided on him. “I think Manish Malhotra is the fashion father of Janhvi. He knows her for a long time. He used to keep talking about her so much that I felt like I know her even before meeting her. Then I went to meet her family where I saw her. Then later when I met her personally, I saw her potential to be on-screen and saw that spark and excitement,” said Karan. Directed by Shashank Khaitan, “Dhadak” is releasing on July 20. (IANS)

But rather than getting angry, the fans who’d arrived at the venue got together to send a message to the singer, who’d taken ill earlier in the day. Gathering at the Peninsular Spire in Greenwich, just outside the O2, they held up “get well soon” signs and sang a chorus of Lovato’s hit Skyscraper. The video found its way to the singer, who said the gesture “made me cry”. “My fans are seri-

Announcing the news on Twitter, she said she had consulted a doctor, who said she could cause permanent damage to her voice if the concert went ahead, “It breaks my heart to let you down. Just know I feel your frustration and I wouldn’t do his unless I absolutely had to,” she added. The concert has been rescheduled for 25 June.

gered the final capitulation in which five wickets fell for just eight runs. His dismissal of Chandimal in the last over before the lunch interval broke the back of the tourists’ resistance and he claimed three of the remaining four wickets to fall to finish with the impressive figures of four for 15 off 8.2 overs. It looked so much better for Sri Lanka when Mendis, 94 not out overnight with Sri Lanka on 176 for three, reached his fifth Test century shortly after the start of the day’s play. However any hope of the visitors seriously challenging a world record target effectively evaporated with his dismissal, caught behind for 102 off

Even the prospects of saving the match or at the very least taking the game into the final session disappeared with the loss of three more wickets before the break, including two off the final over bowled by Chase. Stubborn nightwatchman Lahiru Gamage had fallen LBW to leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo for just three after more than an hour’s resistance but the death knell was really sounded for the Sri Lankans when Chase accounted for both Chandimal and Niroshan Dickwella in the space of five deliveries.

Guardiola denies Toure allegations
Pep Guardiola
London, J u n 1 1 ( Ag e n c i e s ) : M a n chester City manager Pep Guardiola has defended h i m s e l f a g a i n s t Yaya Toure’s accusation that he might have a problem with African players. Guardiola says Toure “knows that I’m not racist” and did not raise the issue during their two years together at City. Toure won three Premier League titles, an FA Cup and two League Cups during an eight-year spell at the Etihad. The Ivorian made one Premier League start last season as City cruised to title glory under Guardiola. The midfielder - who also played under Guardiola at Barcelona - suggested in an interview with France Football earlier this week that the City manager might have treated him less favourably because he is African. Guardiola has responded to the comments from his former player, telling Televisio de Catalunya: “He knows that I’m not racist. “Saying that ... what can we do? We have been together during two years. We have had two years, 365 + 365 (days) to say it - and we can talk.” “If he leaves and later he says that ... Don’t mind, it is not worth (it).” K Y M C

PARIS, Jun 11 (Agencies): Rafael Nadal has cast doubt on his participation at Wimbledon, saying he needs to see how his body recovers after a long clay court campaign culminated in an 11th French Open title. Two of the Spaniard’s 17 Grand Slam titles came on the All England Club’s lawns, but the 32-year-old has struggled to make an impact there in recent years. “Difficult for me to think about it now. I had a long and mentally tough clay court season, of course, because I played almost all the matches possible after coming from an injury. So it was a demanding two months for me,” Nadal told reporters after defeating Dominic Thiem 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 in Paris. Nadal, who also won
the titles in Monte Carlo, Barcelona and Rome this year, is entered for the Queen’s Club warm-up tournament starting next week but says he will consult with his team, including coach Carlos Moya, over the next few days. “I would love to be playing in as many places as possible, but you understand I need to check how I feel in the next couple of days,” Nadal said. “Of course it’s a drastic change from clay to grass. I did it in the past when I was much younger, quicker, because I played back to back.” Twenty-times Grand Slam champion Roger Federer, the world number two, skipped the clay court season to concentrate on Wimbledon, where he will be going for a ninth title.
Nadal spent several months away from the tour after sustaining an injury at this year’s Australian Open and could, like Federer, decide that his long-term interests are best-served by sparing his body further punishment. It is common knowledge that the lower-bouncing ball on grass puts extra strain on the knees that have bothered him at times throughout his career. Yet Nadal also knows he could be a threat after playing impressively last year before falling in the last 16, losing a classic tussle against Luxembourg’s Gilles Muller. “Last year I felt that I had a good opportunity to go far in the tournament. I felt myself playing well on grass last year,” the Spaniard said.

Paris, Jun 11 (Agencies): Patrick Vieira has been appointed Nice head coach after leaving New York City FC. Last month, he was left disappointed at Arsenal’s ‘token gesture’ after being contacted about succeeding Wenger as manager before
Saturday afternoon when on 15 because he was feeling unwell. He resumed after the fall of Mendis and showed no signs of further discomfort in getting to 27 until a flighted delivery from Chase tempted him into attempting to heave over midwicket only for the miscue to offer a simple catch to Kraigg Brathwaite running around to short mid-on. It was hardly the sort of example he would have wanted to set as Sri Lanka’s captain. Within minutes he was joined by Dickwella in the dressing room as the wicketkeeper-batsman was trapped palpably leg-before by a quicker delivery from Chase. Sri Lanka expect to welcome back middle-order batsman Dhananjaya de Silva for the second Test starting Thursday in St Lucia. His arrival in the region was delayed by the shooting death of his father. West Indies were in no mood to slacken their grip on the match on the resumption after lunch as Bishoo had Rangana Herath taken at short-leg before Chase sealed victory with the wickets of Suranga Lakmal and Lahiru Kumara off successive balls, both adjudged caught behind by ‘man of the match’ Shane Dowrich.

PORT OF SPAIN, Jun 11 (Agencies): West Indies completed a crushing 226run victory over Sri Lanka just after lunch on the final day of the first Test on Sunday as the tourists surrendered meekly following the demise of century-maker Kusal Mendis and captain Dinesh Chandimal. Set a daunting target of 453, the Sri Lankans crashed from 189 for three in mid-morning to be dismissed for 226 just after lunch, suffering their first Test match defeat at the hands of the Caribbean side for ten years, when they were also beaten at the Queen’s Park Oval in Trinidad.

MONTREAL, Jun 11 (Agencies): Sebastian Vettel claimed the 50th win of his career and reclaimed the lead of this year’s world championship on Sunday when he ended Lewis Hamilton’s run of supremacy at the Canadian Grand Prix. The four-time champion German drove his Ferrari with near flawless aplomb to convert his 54th
pole position into a triumphant afternoon ahead of Finn Valtteri Bottas of Mercedes and determined Dutchman Max Verstappen, who was third for Red Bull. Vettel’s third victory this season lifted him to 121 points ahead of Hamilton on 120 after seven races, ending the defending four-time champion’s hopes of a record-equalling
seventh win at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve where he won from pole for the last three years. It was Ferrari’s first win in Canada since 2004 and came from their first pole there in 17 years. It was also Vettel’s second win in Canada where he won in 2013 for Red Bull. Australian Daniel Ricciardo, who clocked the fastest lap at the end,
managed to resist a late charge from Hamilton in the closing laps and retain fourth place ahead of the Englishman who extended his record points-scoring run to 32 races. Finn Kimi Raikkonen finished sixth in the second Ferrari. German Nico Hulkenberg came home seventh ahead of his Renault team-mate Spaniard Carlos Sainz, Frenchman Esteban Ocon of Force India and Monegasque Charles Leclerc of Sauber. “Perfect is a good way to describe this,” said a delighted Vettel. “I said yesterday that this place means a lot to Ferrari and to have a race like this is unbelievable. “After a long stretch here without a Ferrari win, I looked around and the people are so very happy. It means a lot. There’s a long way to go in the season so I am not bothered about the title now, but it’s a good side effect for me.” He said the win was special because it came 40 years after Canadian Gilles Villeneuve had won his first race for Ferrari.

Argentina future depends on WC, says Messi BRONNITSY, Jun 11 (Agencies): Argentina captain Lionel Messi said his international future will be determined by his country’s performance at the World Cup in Russia. “It will depend on how far we go, how we’re going to finish” at the finals, Messi said in an interview with Spanish daily
Sport. We’ve just lost three finals in a row, which has led to us going through some difficult moments with the press,” added the Barcelona forward. “Notably with the Argentine press because we have differences of opinion over what it means to make these three finals.” Argentina lost the
2014 World Cup final 1-0 to Germany after extra time, before suffering successive defeats by Chile on penalties at the Copa America in 2015 and 2016. Messi, who will turn 31 during the World Cup, believes Spain, Brazil, Germany, France and Belgium are the leading contenders for the title.
“There are lots of teams who arrive with lots of confidence, with both a team game and individual talents,” said the five-time world player of the year.

Brazil arrive in Russia as clock ticks down to WC start
Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho enjoy a warm welcome in Sochi as singers in traditional Russian dress greet them.
SOCHI, Jun 11 (Agencies): Neymar and his Brazil teammates landed on Russian soil in the early hours of Monday morning, fresh from beating Austria 3-0 in their final warm-up outing ahead of the World Cup. As the clock ticks down to Thursday’s tournament opener in Moscow between hosts Russia and
Saudi Arabia, the five-time World Cup winners arrived in Sochi, the Black Sea resort city where they will be based, just before 3am local time. The Brazilians made the journey with their confidence boosted after Neymar marked his first start in more than three months by scoring in the victory over the Austrians in Vienna.
Gabriel Jesus and Philippe Coutinho also netted either side of Neymar’s goal, as the Paris Saint-Germain superstar confirmed his return to fitness following foot surgery in early March. The goal was Neymar’s 55th in a Brazil shirt, allowing him to draw level with Romario on his country’s list of all-time leading
scorers -- only Pele and Ronaldo have scored more goals for Brazil. The 26-year-old had come off the bench to score in last weekend’s 2-0 win over Croatia in Liverpool, his first appearance since breaking a bone in his foot playing for PSG in February. Sunday’s goal was a superb effort, the former Barcelona man controlling Willian’s chipped pass on his thigh just inside the box and then leaving Austrian defender Aleksandar Dragovic on the floor with some delightful footwork before rolling the ball home. Brazil coach Tite said he felt “extremely proud” of his team, although he said they could be more clinical. “I don’t know Neymar’s limits,” he said. “His technical and creative capacity is impressive. When we get him in the last third of the field he is lethal.” Drawn in Group E, Brazil, who are second behind defending world champions Germany in the FIFA rankings, begin their campaign against Switzerland next Sunday, June 17, before also taking on Costa Rica and Serbia.
Errani doping suspension increased
ZURICH, Jun 11 (Agencies): Italian tennis player Sara Errani’s ban for an anti-doping violation has been increased from two to 10 months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), the Swiss-based tribunal said on Monday. The 2012 French Open runner-up tested positive for letrozole - a substance used in the treatment of breast cancer - in an out-ofcompetition test in February 2017. CAS said it accepted that the source of letrozole was “medication taken by her mother that found its way into the family meal prepared by the Athlete’s mother and eaten by the entire family.” But it said that Errani was guilty of a “light degree of fault” which justified a 10-month ban. Errani was initially banned for two months by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) in August 2017 and her results from Feb. 16 to June 7 that year were declared void. The CAS decision followed appeals by the Italian antidoping agency, which asked for a longer ban.

Scotland stun Eng in one-off ODI
Scotland players celebrate after edging England in a thrilling ODI.
Edinburg, Jun 11 (Agencies): Scotland beat England in a stunning win, the first in international cricket after a highscoring, one-off ODI on Sunday. The hosts won by six runs with former Durham batsman Calum MacLeod scoring 140 not out from 94 balls at Grange Cricket Club. After losing the toss and posting a massive 371-5, Scotland held its nerve in the field and with the ball to clinch a thrilling one-day international with just seven balls remaining. Top-ranked England was all out for 365 in 48.5
overs. Safyaan Sharif was the man to clinch the victory, trapping Mark Wood leg before wicket in the penultimate over to spark wild celebrations and a pitch invasion from a tense crowd in Edinburgh. After Jonny Bairstow’s 105 off 59 balls, and Alex Hales’ 52, England looked like it was creeping toward victory thanks to a 71-run eighth-wicket partnership between Moeen Ali (46) and Liam Plunkett (47 not out). However, Scotland picked up the remaining three wickets for an emotional victory. Mark Watt
finished on 3-55 off 10 overs. The victory came in Scotland’s first game since the associate nation was denied a place in next year’s World Cup after the decision was made to cut down the number of participating countries from 14 to 10. Scotland’s 371 was its highest score in ODI cricket. Kyle Coetzer scored 58 and George Munsey 55. In a match of records, Bairstow’s century was his third in a row - the first time an English batsman has done that - but his effort was in vain as England came up short.
Shami fails Yo-Yo Test; Saini gets maiden Test call-up failed to clear the fitness test at NCA, Bengaluru,” the BCCI release stated. The Indian team has set a standard parameter of clearing the Yo Yo test, which gives a measure of a player’s endurance and fitness. The current benchmark is 16.1 for the India senior team and A team. According to a senior BCCI official “Karun Nair and Hardik Pandya were the two best performers in the YoYo Test with scores of above 18.” The 27-year-old Shami has been injury-prone and of late troubled by allegations of domestic violence by his wife. Shami, who has 110
wickets from 30 Tests, was initially removed from the BCCI’s Central Contracts List before being re-inducted after he was given a clean chit by a BCCI internal probe committee. He also had a narrow escape in an accident before enduring a poor Indian Premier League. Meanwhile, the Indian team management has requested that India A fast bowlers Mohammed Siraj and Rajneesh Gurbani to attend the training sessions of the Indian team and bowl in the nets. A request was also made for Ankit Rajpoot, but the Uttar Pradesh fast bowler is unwell.
New Delhi, Jun 11 (PTI): Troubled India speedster Mohammed Shami Monday failed the YoYo fitness test, prompting the selectors to summon rookie Delhi speedster Navdeep Saini for the one-off Test against Afghanistan starting June 14. Saini is currently one of the quickest red ball bowlers in domestic circuit and has been touted by many as one for the future after his consistent Ranji Trophy performance in the past two seasons. Saini is part of the four-day set-up of the India A team and is set to travel to UK next month. The 25year-old has so far played
31 first-class games, taking 96 wickets. “The All-India Senior Selection Committee has named Navdeep Saini as Mohammed Shami’s replacement in the Indian Test team for the upcoming Paytm Test against Afghanistan. The announcement came after Mohd. Shami
Egypt demands TV rights for 22 WC matches
FIFA world Cup: Stakes high for England, Belgium in easy draw
Cairo, Jun 11 (Agencies): Egyptians hoping to watch the World Cup for free have been offered a glimmer of hope after the country's competition authority said it was obliging FIFA to let state TV show games. Egypt's national team is gearing up for its first World Cup in 28 years, but matches are only being broadcast in the country by Qatar-based pay television network beIN. In a statement, the Egyptian Competition Authority said it had decided to "enforce its authority" and "compel FIFA to give the right for direct ground transmission to the Egyptian National Media Authority" for 22 World Cup matches. The authority said it received a complaint against FIFA, accusing the international football organising body of violating Egypt's competition law. "FIFA has deprived competitors of beIN company from presenting better offers to the Egyptian viewer," the authority said. It said it wrote to football's world governing body on 17 May "calling on FIFA to obey its publicised policy, but it has not cooperated with the continuous correspondence by the authority so far". In Egypt, subscribers have to buy a beIN decoder for 1,630 Egyptian pounds ($92) and pay a fee of over 2,000 Egyptian pounds ($112) to watch the world cup. In a country of 97 million people where the average wage does not exceed 200 euros ($235), that means getting the subscription is beyond the means of many football fans.

L on d on , J u n 1 1 (Agencies): The dark horse, the perennial underachievers, the new comers and an inspired African side constitute World Cup 2018’s Group G. The first two -Belgium and England - are certainly favoured to make the round of 16 as opposed to Panama and Tunisia, but the manner in which they do it, if they can do it, could catalyse or curtail their eventual progress. For Belgium’s golden generation, boasting the Premier League’s finest talent among others, Russia 2018 may be the last shot at realising their potential. Their qualifying campaign saw them score 43 goals, win nine of their 10 games and Romelu Lukaku become the country’s all-time leading scorer with 34 goals. But their last few friendlies, a 3-3 draw against
Mexico last year and a barren stalemate against a Cristiano Ronaldo-less Portugal, will be a reality check. Kevin De Bruyne, the Premiership’s top creator and a champion, seems to have taken up an unassuming leader’s role. Belgium’s major issues though, remain in the defence. And despite the likes of Vincent Kompany -- now injured -- Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld playing, coach Martinez’s inability to organise the backline could lead to their downfall. Under Gareth Southgate’s tutelage, England have lost only two of their World Cup preliminaries. Playing in a more experimental 3-4-2-1 formation, they boast of a new-look and youthful squad. Their most experienced players come in the form of Gary Cahill (32), Manchester
United’s Ashley Young (32) and Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy (31). But eventually, all hopes will rest on Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Raheem Sterling. For Panama, their first World Cup campaign is likely to be a learning experience. But if the Central Americans are to cause a stir, they will look to midfielder Gabriel Gomez for creativity. Tunisia make a return to the World Cup after a 12-year absence. A turbulent start to their qualification campaign saw coach Nabil Maaloul take over in April last year. For a country looking to register its second victory in the World Cup, it fits to have a coach whose philosophy stresses on attack. But with important players such as Youssef Msakni and Taha Yassine Khenissi missing out due to injury, it will be an uphill task.
