Wreckage of missing AN-32 found NEW DELHI, JUN 11 (AGENCIES): After a rescue operation that ran for eight days, the wreckage of the crashed An-32 aircraft of the Indian Air Force (IAF) was finally spotted but the next big challenge before the rescuers is to physically get to the site -- all while fighting the tough terrain and inhospitable weather.

The wreckage of the aircraft was spotted 16 km north of Lipo, northeast of Tato at an approximate elevation of 12000 ft by the IAF Mi-17 helicopter undertaking search in the expanded search zone, the Air Force said.

After the identification of the wreckage of An-32 by Mi-17V5, Cheetah of IAF and Advanced Light Helicopters (ALH) of Indian Army reached the crash site. Due to high elevation and dense forest, helicopters could not land next to the crash site.

However, the Air Force has said that the nearest landing site has been identified and rescue operation by helicopters will commence Wednesday early morning.

Ground forces will continue to reach the crash site during the night.

While the Air Force is likely to airdrop its Garud commandos along with local teams, carrying out combing operations in the thickly forested areas remains a daunting task. Low hanging clouds make visibility extremely poor and that could be a challenge.

The other option before the authorities is to send ground teams on foot but they will take more than 24 hours to reach the spot and the operation entails crossing a river and walking through a dense forest.

Explaining the terrain where the An-32 wreckage

has been spotted, an official said the “location where the wreckage has been sighted is a ridge, and if there is a requirement to cross the ridge it will be extremely challenging.”

The An-32 aircraft had 13 people on board and the IAF said efforts are on to establish the status of the occupants.

It’s a fairly large area, so it will require a high number of people to do the job, said an official.

Also, the teams hitting the ground will have to be prepared to camp in the area even if they are air dropped because flying every day might not be possible due to the harsh weather, sources said.

Efforts are now continuing to establish the status of occupants and establish survivors, IAF said in a statement.

In the last eight days, ISRO satellites, the Indian Navy’s reconnaissance P8i and all possible aerial surveillance operations were used along with ground teams of the Indian Army and Indo Tibetan Border Police were used to carry out search operations for the wreckage.

Centre announces scholarships Konyak bodies to oppose inauguration of Mon district hospital for 5 crore minority Students NEW DELHI, JUN 11 (AGENCIES): Several scholarships such as pre-matric, post-matric and meritcum-means will be provided to 5 crore students from minority communities, including 50 per cent girls, in the next five years, Union minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said, on Tuesday.

The programme, part of the government’s outreach to minority communities, will have a huge focus on girls. Various scholarships - for before and after school boards -- will be provided to 5 crore students, which will include 50 per cent girl students, Minority Affairs minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi announced Tuesday.

The outreach is part of the government’s efforts to create an atmosphere of healthy inclusive growth by eradicating the “disease of communalism” and appeasement politics, Naqvi said. The Narendra Modi government is a dispensation committed to “samaveshi vikas, sarvsparshi vishwas (inclusive growth with trust),” the minister added.

Under the new plan, girls from minority communities who have dropped out of schools will be linked

to education and employment. They will be provided with “bridge courses” from reputed educational institutions of the country. There will be a “PadhoBadhi” campaign, focussed on areas where minority families do not send their daughters to school.

At a later stage, students will be coached for free if they want to sit for competitive exams - including in Central and state administrative services, banking services, staff selection commission and railways exams.

This will be provided to all economically weaker students from minority communities -- Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Jain, Buddhist, and Parsi. Madrasa teachers across the country will be given training from various institutions in mainstream subjects. This programme will be launched next month.

The scholarships would include more than 10 lakh Begum Hazrat Mahal Girls Scholarship for the economically weaker sections. In the interim budget announced in February, the government had allocated Rs. 93,847 crore - a jump of 10,000 crore from previous year’s allocation.

DIMAPUR, JUN 11 (NPN): While appreciating Neiphiu Rio for upgrading 100-bedded Mon district hospital when he was chief minister in 2013, all Konyak frontal organisations headed by Konyak Union (KU), Konyak Nyupuh Sheko Khong (KNSK) and Konyak Students’ Union (KSU) have resolved to oppose the inaugural programme of the incomplete and poorly-designed hospital build-

ing by Rio scheduled on June 27.

In a statement, KU president S Howing Konyak alleged that despite investing a huge sum of money (Rs 21.26 crore) under National Health Mission (NHM), the building was not patientfriendly as its construction was not done as per the actual detailed project report (DPR). He said the hospital management committee had continuously pleaded be-

fore the agency concerned in this regard, but its plea was totally turned down.

Under the circumstances, he said the Konyak frontal organisations were compelled not to cooperate with the State government and warned that the inaugural programme would not be allowed until and unless its demand for rectification was met and rectified with(Cont’d on p-7) out delay.

‘Life expectancy in India down due to air pollution’ NEW DELHI, JUN 11 (AGENCIES): Life expectancy in India has gone down by 2.6 years due to deadly diseases caused by air pollution, according to a recent report by an environment think tank.

The report by the environment organisation Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) revealed that outdoor and household air pollution together are causing deadly diseases. “Air pollution is now the third highest cause of death among all health risks ranking just above smoking in India.

Kohima Police releases video on child labour Correspondent

KOHIMA, JUN 11 (NPN): Considering the growing incidences of child abuse and child labour in the State, Kohima Police has initiated in producing a video on child labour and released here on Tuesday evening on the eve of World Day Against Child Labour. This year, the theme for the World Day Against Child Labour will be “Children shouldn’t work in fields, but on dreams”.

The six-minute 59second video clip portrays an adamant government officer and his wife abusing a 12-year-old domestic help without realising about its legal consequences.

The video has been produced by Dreamz Unlimited and its concept was given by North Kohima SDPO M Yambemo Humtsoe.

India is sadly home to the largest number of child

labourers in the world and though most children begin work at a young age due to economic reasons, doing so allows them to break from some social constraints as.

As per reports, there has been a growing demand for household help and use of children for doing domestic tasks urban areas where these children are forced to perform all sorts of work even as they lose all their freedom and essentially become slaves.

According to the officer, many child labour and child abuse cases go unreported In Nagaland.

Meanwhile, the SDPO said minor children from rural areas were brought to towns on the pretext of ensuring them better education and life, but they ended up as domestic helps with a wretched living condition, even as most parents of these kids did not realise the real-

ity and the hardships faced by their loved ones. He said there were instances of cases being registered in the State regarding abuse of domestic help, mostly children.

A prominent person working for child welfare, but did not wish to be named, observed that in other States, domestic help were brought from neighbouring States.

However, she said Nagas illtreated their own children in Nagaland by keeping Naga domestic helps and made it a tribal issue between the guardian and the children’s parents whenever any issue arose.

Despite various Acts for child protection, she regretted that only about 40% of them were actually implemented, adding that judiciary system too could no longer be trusted as it was manipulated. She said many child labour and child abuse cases were not even

reported, except for few rape or sexual abuse cases.

It may be mentioned that Child and Adolescent Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986 prohibits employment of children below the age of 14 years in any job, including as a domestic help.

The Act also prohibits employment of adolescents, i.e., between 15 and 18 years of age, in any hazardous occupation and processes, and it is a cognisable criminal offence and punishable with imprisonment up to two years or fine up to Rs 50,000 or both. Further, Article 24 of the Fundamental Rights mentioned in the Constitution of India under Right Against Exploitation prohibits employment of children below the age of 14 years in any factory or mine or engagement in any other hazardous job.

Kevileno Angami (NP) Correspondent Kohima/Dimapur, JUN 11 (NPN): Community Mobilization and Sensitization Training (CMST) on role and responsibilities of SMC, RTE ACT 2009, Quality (learning outcome, pindics and others), social audit, account maintenance, record keeping and shagunotsav, mid-day meal (MDM), special training (OoSC), shaala shidi etc was conducted at AMK hall, Kohima and Mokokchung town hall respectively on June 11.

Kohima: District mission authority (DMA), Sarva Shisha Abhiyan Kohima organized CMST at AMK Hall Kohima.

State mission director, Samagra Shiksha, Kevileno Angami in her address said that CMST programme was essential so that new rules and guideline from the department were updat-

ed and grievances faced in the grass root levels were highlighted.

She said that the government has constituted the school management committee (SMC) under Nagaland communitization of Public Institutions and Service Act, 2002 for the purpose of the right of children, so that they get free and compulsory education.

She appreciated SMC Rusoma village under Kohima district for contributing their services not only with government assistance but with their own innovative ideas for the improvement of the schools.

Associate Prof. (reader) SCERT Kohima, Thungchibemo Lotha spoke on the topic “special training (OoSC) and learning outcome” and said special education programme was needed to streamline the out of school children (OoSC) and basic educational needs for out of school children in age group of 6-14 years. He said drop –out rate was high at all the levels in the state as well as in the country.

The reason was due to personal factor, home factor and school factors, he added. In this regard, Lotha urged the SMC and teachers to deal wisely to reduce drop-out students.

Lotha said according to national achievement survey (NAS), the subject wise achievement of students in the state was very low. He therefore said SMC must do research on why students

achievement in subjects wise was decreasing in the state.

The programme was chaired by asst. district co-ordinator DMA,SSA Kohima Thongsenlo.

During the programme a video on “roles and responsibilities of SMC” (Dreamz unlimited) produced by Nagaland education mission society, Samagra Shiksha, Nagaland was screened.

‘Mithun mela- cum- farmersscientist interaction’ at Porba

DIMAPUR: Krish Vigyan Kendra (KVK) Phek and ICAR-NRC on Mithun organized a one-day “Mithun mela-cum-farmers-scientist interaction” in Porba village on June 10.

A press release from ICAR-NRC on Mithun stated that, Dr. Joykrushna Jena, deputy director general (DDG), Fisheries and Animal Science, ICAR, New Delhi graced the event as chief guest. In his inaugural address, he expressed gratitude to the farmers of Porba village for their hospitality.

He urged the gathering to continue rendering their support and work as a unit with the institute to further bring in more developmental changes that would benefit the community. Dr. Jena appealed to the youths of the village, mostly unemployed, to venture into piggery, poultry and fishery enterprises and come forward with proposals to the institute so that all help possible could be rendered.

Earlier, Dr. Abhijit MItra, director, ICAR- NRC on Mithun said that the village

should be developed into a model village so that it can serve as an eco-tourism hotspot where visitors could also witness the Mithun, the state animal of Nagaland.

He apprised the farmers about the economic potential of mithun milk besides meat. Dr. Mitra also emphasized the importance of Mithun rearing as an occupation to sustain livelihood.

A total of 70 Mithuns were brought to the mela and were vaccinated against FMD. In order to promote semi-intensive mithun rearing several inputs including barbed-wire, CGI sheet, gumboots, raincoat, and travis were also handed to Mithun Rearing Society of Porba. A scientist-farmer interaction meet was also organized.

An exhibition displaying the traditional attires of the Chakhesang tribe was set up by the Chakhesang Women Welfare Society and Northeast Network, Chizami. The mela was attended by 418 farmers from Porba, Gidemi and Pholami villages.

‘Project Akanksha’ launched in Mnp DIMAPUR, JUN 11: In a bid to empower women in Manipur, ‘Project Akanksha’ was launched

by Khuga Battalion as part of nation building initiative.

A press release by PIB (Defence) stated that ‘Project Akanksha’ is aimed at reaching out to the maximum local youth, especially girls and women residing in the remote areas of Churachandpur district.

As such, various awareness and registration camps outreach programmes and empowerment campaigns were conducted by Khuga Career Counseling Cell through Mobile Interactive Terminal for Rural Areas (MITRA) Vehicle since April this year.

The online registration of 178 women aspirants was carried out based on their educational merit and qualifications. These candidates affiliated with Khuga Career Counseling Cell would now be provided with free coaching for the forthcoming Army Recruitment Rally.

NCC Ex-Cadet Association asks for equal funding pattern

DIMAPUR, JUN 11: The National Cadet Corps (NCC) Ex-Cadet Association has brought to the notice of the Ministry of defence that private institutes in the Northeast and Sikkim are finding it difficult to carry out NCC activities as they are not entitled to receive full fundin while the Government instituted are entitled for full funding.

In a letter to the Defence Minister, the president of NCC Ex-Cadet Association, Milind Kapade recalled the letter from HQ DG National Cadet Corps in October 2018 stating that all costs of institutional training and expenditure during camps ; honorarium to instituted NCC officers, refreshment allowance to cadets, TA/DA, expenditure during camps etc are to be borne by the institute, while Government institutes are entitled to National Cadet Corps central funding for institutional training, honorarium, and expenditure during camps.

Asking for full funding of National Cadet Corps activities in Jammu and Kashmi, NE and Sikkim, the NCC National Cadet Corps (NCC) ExCadet Association president reminded the Defence Minister of the NCC Act and Rules, 1948 which entails that it does not make any distinction between government and private institutions.

Kapade stated that as per the Act, any modification to the National Cadet Corps rules has to be passed by both houses also the parliament.

He further stated that “NCC Act and Rules has authorized various pay and allowances to Associate NCC Officers and cadets, adding that in Jammu and Kashmir, North-eastern region, and Sikkim, since the centre has to bear 100 percent cost of all National Cadet Corps activities, logically speaking, private schools and colleges should be funded

by Central funds.”

The letter by Milind Kapade further contended that “if private schools and colleges across the country are funding their National

Cadet Corps activities, the question arises as to how they can be under the NCC Act and Rules,” adding that, “ they will be a private organization of the school or college.”

Kapade stated in his letter, “ National Cadet Corps is a part of Ministry of Defence and thereby every commissioned Associate National Cadet Corps Officer/Chief Technology Officer and enrolled cadet is a part of MOD and comes under the NCC Act and Rules, hence the question which arises is- how can a government organization or a part of it be privately funded, this seems to be

DC-777

an anomaly.”

Milind Kapade requested the Ministry of Defence to consider “equal funding pattern for all National Cadet Corps Associate NCC Officer/Chief Technology Officers and cadets irrespective of whether they are government or private institutes as they are equal citizens under the same National Cadet Corps Act.” The funding should be more so for Jammu and Kashmir and Sikkim where the funding is 100 percent for reasons of “being backward and infested with insurgency”, Kapade added.

Kapade also pointed out cadres are currently only given 50 percent of the expenditure on National Cadet Corps cadre uniform cloth and stitching allowing and requested the Ministry of the Defence to look into the matter.

Underlining the importance of National Cadet Corps cadres in the Northeast, Kapade said that National Cadet Corps in the region is highly nationalistic, even in militancy affected region, adding that National Cadet Corps at the grass root levels will affect a large segment of the society and go a long way in nation building.

A new species of frog found in Northeast NEW DELHI/ TEXAS, JUN 11: Scientists from Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun and University of Delhi in collaboration with Researchers from Indonesia and America have discovered a remarkably beautiful new frog belonging genus Micryletta from the Northeast of India.

These narrow-mouthed frogs (family Microhylidae) are distributed in Southeast Asia where they are called as paddy frogs. The first known species of this group was discovered from the island of Sumatra in Indonesia.

The latest one is a brand new species from Northeast part of India.

The newly discovered Micryletta frog from Northeast India was confirmed as a new species by detailed comparison of both DNA and morphology with all previously known members across Southeast and East Asia. It is now formally described as the fifth member of the narrow-mouthed paddy frog genus Micryletta.

The first discovery of the new species was made from abandoned tea plantation and Jhum cultivation areas in Cachar district of Assam. However, their study also reports the new species from the North-eastern states of Tripura and Manipur. “I am happy for this discovery as it emphasizes the importance biological survey in remnant and degraded habitats. Our discovery shows that even fairly common

frogs usually found closer to human habitations are still not documented properly.

More extensive studies are required to scientifically identify and describe the North-eastern frogs which are already facing extinction threats from various human activities”, says Dr Abhijit Das, from Wildlife Institute of India.

The past decade has witnessed an exponential increase in the number of new amphibian species described from India, particularly the Western Ghats region that has currently over 250 known species. However, the rate of discovery and description of novelties from Northeast India has been relatively slower compared to the Western Ghats.

“The actual number of frog species in Northeast India is much higher than the current estimates. What remains is for us to carry out dedicated surveys in

unexplored regions and undertake comprehensive studies using integrative taxonomy, just like the Western Ghats where the number of known amphibian species has nearly doubled within a short span of ten years, making it one of the leading biodiversity hotspots in the world with an unprecedented rate of new frog discoveries” says Prof S. D. Biju from University of Delhi.

The new species is named aishani, derived from the Sanskrit word ‘aishani’ or aisani (meaning north-east), referring to the Northeast regions of India where this frog was discovered. Micrylettaaishani strikingly differs from other narrow-mouthed paddy frogs by characters such as reddish-brown coloration on back, prominent dark streaks and ash-grey mottling on the lateral sides, shape of the snout, and absence of web on its feet.

Reverse progress

t has been commented in this column in the past decades, that enforcing the rule of law in a place like Dimapur, which is like a transit point, with so many inlets and outlets, is a Herculean task that cannot be effectively managed through the outdated concepts as it demands efficient and committed civil and police officers who can get a grip of the challenges thrown by organised crime syndicates. Like most places, the complex situation arises due to the issue of illegal immigrants including exodus of people from other parts of the state, mostly unemployed and unskilled youth in search of greener pastures. The criminalisation of society is highlighted by existence of several gangs involved in various crimes which provide some kind of avenue to those lured into it. Crimes such a vehicle thefts, fake documents, counterfeit, drugs, sex trade smuggling of contraband, especially Indian Made Foreign Liquor- are widespread. These are activities that have lured many into their web. The socio-economic problems have created the environment under which these illegal activities thrive. The more violent types of crimes such as-extortion, threat and kidnappingare mainly engaged by those used to violence and killings. The point is whether the knee-jerk response in setting up of mobile squads and special crime cells etc for crime detection would be considered as necessity unless they are given a free hand and also made accountable. The problem needs to be understood from legal, institutional, moral, cultural and religious aspects. Some efforts were made to stem the rot but these proved to be too little. Dimapur is like a city that exhibits a reverse trend against development.

It takes great minds to understand that nurturing the development of any city needs character and commitment. All the institutions and organizations perhaps need to focus their attention on their social environment and to realise they must take the first step to agree on what each has to do. The variety of culture and religious communities have to live in peaceful coexistence without any section trying to assert a hegemony. Variety is the essence of progress and it helps to inspire citizens to feel part and parcel of the place they live. Since the city plays an important role in shaping the state in the arena entrepreneurship development, all the institutions have to address the problems and mainstream their goals or visions so as to provide clarity and purpose. If business cannot be conducted due to feeling of insecurity then there is no use in trying to harp on promoting business and trade. If crime cannot be cracked down, then there is little use in deploying large police force, especially armed battalions. In fact, too frequent use of armed battalions for policing job in itself is a clear admittance that the concept of policing is not only outdated but seriously flawed. Everyone should have a stake and then only can there be a unified effort to propel the wheels of development further. Political ambitions and greed are not unknown in other places but they have their own time and place. Dimapur has been losing the race in infrastructure development due to several factors since the 90s but unfortunately, no serious effort has been made to study and analyse the manifestations. Though the state capital may be the façade of Nagaland, yet the soul is Dimapur.If the soul is not well then the development of the body will be adversely affected.

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?

Quotes

The awareness of our own strength makes us modest. ~ Paul Cezanne

holesterol is a fatlike substance in the body. It is produced by your body (75% by your liver). The rest comes from the food you eat. Cholesterol is present in every cell of the body and is important in digesting foods, generating vitamin D, building cell walls and producing some hormones.

While it is needed for good health, too much cholesterol can damage your arteries and increase your risk of heart disease.

Cholesterol in the blood doesn’t move through the body on its own. It combines with proteins to travel through the bloodstream. Cholesterol and protein traveling together are called lipoproteins. The main types of lipoproteins are high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL). HDL moves cholesterol out of your arteries and back to the liver for disposal. LDL cholesterol is known as ‘bad’ cholesterol because it brings and leaves cholesterol in your arteries.

The extra LDL-cholesterol builds up in the walls of the arteries, forming plaque. Plaque can block arteries, making it harder for blood to flow through and putting you at risk for heart disease, attacks and strokes. Having high cholesterol does not usually produce any symptoms, so you could be in danger even without knowing it. One sign is a gray-white line of fat deposits growing on the outside edge of your cornea.

If you’re under 40, it could be a sign of dangerously high cholesterol.

You can inherit a tendency towards high cholesterol. No one in my family

has died of a heart attack so far. But I do have small yellowish white patches on my eyelids which I developed in my forties – and which are a symptom of extra cholesterol. They are more likely to develop during a person’s middle years and are more common in women than men. My mother and grandmother had them too.

My cholesterol levels have always been on the high side even though my lifestyle includes exercise and only non oily vegetarian food.

The doctors say hypercholesterolaemia may be an inherited condition which occurs because of a mutated gene. This usually results in heart disease before 55 but I am past that now. Around 12% of females, who inherit the genetic mutation from a parent, will develop coronary artery disease before the age of 50 years, and 74 per cent by the age of 70 years. About 85 per cent of affected male children will have a heart attack before the age of 60 years. But this can be kept in check by diet and exercise.

In adults, total cholesterol levels less than 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) are considered healthy. Between 200 and 239 mg/dL is borderline high. 240 mg/dL and above is high.

LDL cholesterol levels should be less than 100 mg/dL.100–129 mg/dL is acceptable for people with no health problems but may be a concern for anyone with heart disease or heart disease risk factors.130— 159 mg/dL is borderline high.160–189 mg/dL is high.

HDL levels should be 60 mg/dL or higher. Less than 40 mg/dL can be a

An increase in LDL major risk factor for heart disease.

Cholesterol only comes from animal foods like egg, milk, butter, cheese meat, fish, poultry, hydrogenated oils like lard, margarine, palm and coconut.

People who eat animal products may have more cholesterol in their bodies, at any given time, than those who don’t. It is not just from the food they eat - the liver will also increase cholesterol levels when a diet is high in fat and trans fats. Having an increased amount of LDL cholesterol, caused by trans and saturated fats, increases the risk for heart disease and diabetes.

A report from Harvard Health has identified foods that actively decrease cholesterol levels: Oats, barley and whole grains, beans, eggplant and okra, nuts, vegetable oil (canola, sunflower), fruits (mainly apples, grapes, strawberries, and citrus), soy and soy-based foods, foods rich in fibre (no animal based foods have fibre.)

Reducing the intake of fat in the diet helps to manage cholesterol levels. Limit foods that contain: Saturated fat: This occurs in meats, dair y products, chocolate, baked goods, deep-fried, and processed foods.

Trans fats: This occurs in some fried and processed

foods.

Excess weight can also lead to higher blood LDL levels.

Other conditions that can lead to high cholesterol levels, include: diabetes (another lifestyle disease), liver or kidney disease, polycystic ovary syndrome and steroids.

If your diet is high in fibre and you eat mainly fresh fruit and plants, plant sterols will lower your cholesterol. Physical activity will also make you maintain or lose weight. Exercising for an hour a day raises the heart rate, helps with keeping a healthy weight, and reduces LDL cholesterol levels while increasing HDL cholesterol levels.

Researchers of the Department of Preventive Medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago and published in Journal for the American Medical Association, JAMA, examined data from six study groups of more than 29,000 people followed for 17½ years. At the start, participants filled in questionnaires detailing the foods they ate. Over the follow-up period, a total of 5,400 cardiovascular events occurred, including 1,302 fatal and nonfatal strokes, 1,897 incidents of fatal and nonfatal heart failure and 113 other heart disease deaths. An additional 6,132

participants died of other causes.

When they analyzed the data, the researchers found an association between egg consumption as reported at the start of the study and participants’ risk of developing cardiovascular disease. As their egg consumption rose, so did their risk. An egg has 155 calories and 11gms total fat. Each egg has 186 milligrams of cholesterol, which is 124% of what you should be eating per day and sodium 124 mg - more cholesterol than a fast-food double cheeseburger.

Three or more eggs a week was associated with a 3.2% higher risk of heart disease and a 4.4% higher risk of early death. Each additional half an egg consumed per day was associated with a 6-8% higher risk of cardiovascular disease and higher risk of early death due to any cause.

The researchers factored in every other unhealthy behaviour, such as low physical activity, smoking and an unhealthy diet full of processed food and saturated fats.

Dr. Robert H. Eckel, of University of Colorado School of Medicine, wrote that the new report “is far more comprehensive, with enough data to make a strong statement that eggs and overall dietary cholesterol intake remain important in affecting the risk of cardiovascular disease, and more so the risk of all-cause mortality.”

“Considering the negative consequences of egg consumption and dietary cholesterol in the setting of heart-healthy dietary patterns, the importance of limiting intake of cholester-

ol-rich foods should not be dismissed,” he concluded.

According to industry data, the world will eat more eggs in 2019 than any time for the past 20 years.

Are eggs eaten alone?

The food they are eaten with is as terrible for the body - white bread, butter, salt, and/or processed meats like bacon or sausages.

How many eggs a week is safe? None.

The more eggs a person eats, the more those risks increase. People in the study, who averaged an egg every day, saw their risk of a heart-related event, such as a heart attack or stroke, increase by 12% compared to someone who didn’t eat eggs. Those who averaged two eggs every day had a 24% increased risk of heartrelated events.

Researchers saw similarly increased risks for people who ate processed and unprocessed red meat.

Those associations held even when researchers looked at the overall quality of a person’s diet.

Those who included eggs as part of a healthy diet didn’t have lower risks compared to those who ate eggs along with less nutritious foods.

It follows a 2018 study that looked at the evidence collected from 28 studies that had people eat eggs as an experiment and then looked at changes to their blood lipids.

The study found eating eggs boosted total cholesterol by about 5 points compared to people who were on diets that didn’t include eggs.

Most of that increase came from an increase in LDL, or “bad” cholesterol. To join the animal welfare movement contact gandhim@ nic.in, www.peopleforanimalsindia.org

Post-mortem

The Covenant of Reconciliation, Peace Dividends and Future Challenges

T

he most deadly factional killings in recent memory took place during the months and years leading up to the Covenant of Reconciliation, signed ten years ago on June 13, 2009. The years 2007 and 2008 were particularly bad as the commercial hub of Dimapur and its surrounding became almost a battle ground for rival groups to

Naga Society’s Moment of ‘Chaos and Destructive Divisions’

seek and kill.

It was painful and disheartening to see Nagas were killing each other in the name of our national struggle.

Those killed included both civilians and cadres of rival NSCN groups. I recall in particular, following a factional shootout, the horrific images of many dead bodies kept along

National Highway 39 (near Diphupar Police Station) before being taken for burial by our mothers and womenfolk.

As the Editor, at that time, of The Morung Express, it is hard to forget the trauma and stress we had to go through, while covering these stories (see box) of violent bloodshed almost on a daily basis.

In one disturbing incident, at least six civilians belonging to a particular community were abducted and later killed by one of the armed groups. In retaliation around 14 cadres of the rival group were gunned down.

A few weeks later, in another round of heavy casualties, at least 15 were killed in separate factional clashes in and around Dimapur.

More killings took place (without going into the details) including overrunning a camp, damage to properties, street violence and widespread cases of extortion and almost daily abductions.

What was even more worrying was that these armed confrontations and killings were becoming increasingly sectarian with ‘underground politics’ taking on shades of tribal colour.

‘Quit’ notice was issued turning one tribe against the other. An allegation of ‘ethnic cleansing’ was made. Leaders of Naga civil societies were targeted with warnings of ‘capital punishment’ if they met their rival group/s.

On a few occasions even the irate Naga public had to chase out the NSCN factions engaged in internecine clashes in and around urban Dimapur.

According to one report, business had fallen by 30 per cent in Dimapur because of the mounting clashes and rivalry to control large scale ‘taxation’ to the tune of a few hundred crores.

The state of affairs was so severe that the Nagaland Baptist Churches Council (NBCC) termed the factional infighting during this period as bringing ‘chaos and destruction’ in the State and lamenting that “Naga society is plunging evermore deeply into destructive divisions.”

The Nagaland State government was powerless to do anything. Even the Government of India seemed helpless despite the ceasefire regime in place. The appeal and cry of the Church and Naga civil society made little difference due to the viciousness of killings and retaliations.

It seemed that there was a deep hurt and anger felt by each of the rival groups against the other.

This made it even more difficult to contain the situation.

Choosing the Path of Reconciliation and FNR’s Role: Despite the hopelessness, timely mediation and back-channel diplomacy was being pursued.

A 10-Point ‘A Covenant of Common Hope’ was adopted by representatives of Naga political groups, frontal Hohos, Churches and Civil Societies during the Naga Peace Summit III at Chiang Mai, Thailand, on August 21, 2008.

This became the basis for the subsequent Covenant of Reconciliation. All this took place under the initiative of the Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR).

Independent observers, government officials and even the security establishment in Delhi Reader’s note: Articles

ciliation. This is vital for the Naga people’s future and their peaceful co-existence. At the other end of the spectrum, the Naga Political Groups must be motivated to constructively work together.

It is important for the Naga mediators from civil society or FNR to realize that reconciliation alone is not sufficient. At some point of time the need for power sharing becomes necessary in order to engage with the Naga Political Groups and encourage them towards self-governance and nation-building initiatives.

Reconciliation is a process which will continue to remain relevant for the Nagas. For the immediate though, an inclusive model of power sharing is something that must be worked on collectively.

The coming together of the NNPGs under the Working Group is a fine model of sharing power. A Naga National Unity Government should be the next obvious step.

No one will disagree that the mandate of the Naga public is for all Naga political groups to work together to resolve the political issue with India. Peace talks with the Government of India will take care of itself if Nagas speak in unison and through a common platform.

Naga Reconciliation and the Hope for Our Children: My two children were born in 2006 and 2009 respectively. They do not carry the trauma or scar of violent bloodshed related to the Naga political struggle and the factional killings that most of us older people have seen in our lifetime.

Our children were probably too young to know. But more importantly after 2009, the killings (arising out of factionalism) dipped suddenly and gradually stopped almost completely.

We are now in 2019 and ten years since its signing, it must be said that there is relative peace and calm in our midst. Growing up in the years following its signing, our children were spared the distress of having to read, hear or listen to stories of bloodshed.

The Covenant of Reconciliation signed ten years ago by our Naga leaders Isak Chishi Swu, SS Khaplang and Brig (Retd) S. Singnya should be seen in the context of how this step towards Naga reconciliation had a positive impact for our children and their hope for a better future.

Now it is even more important for the Naga people and our leaders be reminded about the vision and purpose behind the Covenant of Reconciliation and why the wisdom found in this document should not be forgotten.

If anything, the commemoration of its 10th anniversary should be a time to deliberate and reflect on how this Covenant can be further strengthened, enlarged to include more groups and made relevant to the present times.

Killings among the Nagas may have stopped, yet factionalism and division is very much still alive and manifests itself in different forms and experiences, which if not addressed will be detrimental for the future generation.

Can the FNR and other Naga mediators start reimagining Naga Reconciliation or the Covenant of Reconciliation?

Mamata hits out at Gov suggestion on Prez rule KO L K ATA , J U N 1 1 (AGENCIES): West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee has expressed her displeasure over state Governor Kesari Nath Tripathi presenting a report on the law and order situation in the state to Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

Amid spiralling postpoll violence in the state, West Bengal Governor Kesari Nath Tripathi met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union minister Amit Shah in Delhi on Monday and apprised them of the situation in the state.

“I respect the post but not what he’s saying about the post-poll casualties in Bengal,” Mamata Banerjee said today at an event to unveil the statue and bust of Bengali social reformer Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar at a school in Kolkata. Mamata Banerjee said that the state of West

Bengal was being defamed.

She urged people to come together to save the culture of Bengal.

“I respect the Governor but every post has its constitutional limit. Bengal is being defamed. If you want to save Bengal and its culture come together.

A plan is being hatched to turn Bengal into Gujarat.

Bengal is not Gujarat,” said Mamata Banerjee.

She also accused the BJP of trying to impose Hindi on regional languages. “Every state has

its own heritage and language. It’s our India. But BJP will not decide the fate of the state,” said Mamata Banerjee.

On her way to set up Vidyasagar’s bust, Mamata Banerjee once again faced faint slogans of Jai Shree Ram from the school premises. She walked for an odd one kilometre along with ministers and intellectuals for setting up Vidyasagar’s bust, which was being carried in a special car.

Exactly 27 days ago, the bust of Vidyasagar, Bengali social reformer was vandalised during BJP chief Amit Shah’s roadshow in Kolkata.

Earlier in the morning, the state police cordoned off the entire stretch of one kilometre and even the college premises was secured from early morning by barring college students and teachers from attending the programme.

Cong holds protest against ‘illegal’ merger of party MLAs HYDERABAD, JUN 11 (PTI): Stepping up its attack on TRS over the “illegal” merger of 12 Congress MLAs in Telangana with that party, the opposition Congress staged protests Tuesday in Hyderabad and other towns in the state.

Activists of National Students Union of India (NSUI), the students’ wing of Congress, organised a protest at Nampalli area here against the merger of the 12 Congress MLAs with the TRS and “forced” hospitalisation of Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader M Bhatti Vikramarka. Congress leaders and workers, raising slogans against TRS, held protests at Karimnagar and other places in the state.

Vikramarka began an indefinite fast at Dharna Chowk in the city on Saturday against the merger.

He was shifted to a government hospital Monday morning by police in view of his “failing health” and also for holding the

(From p-1) Further, the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection) of Children Act, 2015 has made it a crime, punishable with a prison term, for anyone to procure or employ a child in any hazardous employment or in bondage.

Similarly, the Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986 defines a “Child” as any person below the age of 14 and prohibits employment of a child in any employment, including as a domestic help. It is a cognisable criminal offence to employ a child for any work and shall be punishable with imprisonment up to one year or fine up to Rs 20,000 or both.

Child rights activists observe that there is an urgent need to change the mindset of people who employ young children, especially the middle-class and the affluent section of the society, as the long-term harm done to children in terms of depriving them of opportunities like going to school and developing their capabilities ultimately leads to creation of a section in the society who forever remains deprived.

second phase as they were already compensated in the third phase. They also urged all village coordination committees to cooperate in this regard.

Ghuvishe and Kakheto regretted that though since its inception in 2012, SSAALWC, in support of All Nagaland SARDP Affected Landowners Welfare Committee, had been working relentlessly with the NH department and respective deputy commissioners of the affected districts for timely clearance of the second phase of compensation without publishing press statement in order to avoid unnecessary speculations in the press and media, but of no avail.

Mamata’s speeches fuelled Sandeshkhali clashes, claims Roy SANDESHKHALI (WB), JUN 11 (PTI): BJP leader Mukul Roy Tuesday blamed West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for the violence in Sandeshkhali that claimed three lives, saying her speeches “fuelled” the attacks on supporters of the saffron party.

The BJP leader, who visited Bhangipara village and met the families of Pradip Mondal and Sukanta Mondal killed in the clashes, said he would appeal to party president Amit Shah to do whatever was required for the assistance of the victims’ kin.

“If anybody is to be blamed for the incident, it is Mamata Banerjee,” Roy said, alleging that it was on her directives that no one has been arrested so far in connection with the killings.

“Pradip and Sukanta were sleeping in their homes in the afternoon. They were dragged out and killed by TMC workers,” he claimed.

Mukul Roy (File)

Kayoom Mollah, whom the TMC claims was it active worker, was also killed in the Saturday clashes, one of the worst post-poll violence in West Bengal. The TMC, however, has charged the BJP with attacking its party workers on that day.

On Saturday, at least three men were killed in North 24 Parganas district’s Sandeshkhali area in clashes between the Trinamool Congress and BJP workers.

Roy alleged that the police have not done anything to prevent the clashes and no arrests have been made yet.

The BJP leader had on Monday said that Mamata Banerjee should give up the ‘home’ portfolio.

The chief minister has accused the BJP of “spreading false information as part of a game plan to topple her government”.

“This is a planted game. Their game plan is to throttle my voice, because they know that Mamata Banerjee is the only person in the country to raise voice against them. This conspiracy to bring down our government will not succeed,” the feisty TMC supremo had said.

The BJP had called a 12-hour shutdown on Monday in Basirhat subdivision within which the village lies, to protest “the killing of its supporters”.

Post-poll violence has been reported from various places of the state after the BJP secured 18 of the 42 Lok Sabha seats, just four less than that of the TMC, in West Bengal.

Konyak bodies to oppose inauguration of Mon district hospital (From p-1) The KU president said the organisations had jointly submitted a memorandum to the chief minister and sent its copies to Prime Minister’s Office at New Delhi and then Union minister for information.

He said the memorandum had red flagged eight issues and called for their immediate resolution, failing which they had warned that the district hospital could not be allowed to go ahead and that they would be compelled to file public interest litigation seeking justice.

Pointing out that the hospital had only 65 regular staff, the memorandum had demanded sufficient

number of regular staff, including nurses, technician, fourth grade employees, etc, besides posting doctors with specialisations.

The organisations had also alleged diversion of Rs one crore sanctioned for the hospital in 2018 under the Special State Plan, adding repeated appeals had been turned down by the health & family welfare minister.

They also quoted a Supreme Court verdict that ruled that no operation could be done in a hospital where there was no ICU, pointing out that the referral centre of the district hospital was Naga Hospital in Kohima, located 300 km away.

DIMAPUR, JUN 11 (NPN): Advisor and chairman of Committee on Subordinate Legislation has called for a meeting on June 18, 2019 at 11.30 a.m. in the committee room of the state assembly. All members have been requested to attend the meeting positively.

(From p-1) They said national highways (NH) department and National Highways & Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) had gone to fifth phase of compensation whereas 90% of the affected landowners were yet to receive compensation from second phase alone in Sumi area.

Pointing out that it was left with no other option but to initiate action, the two SSAALWC officebearers asked all firms engaged in construction to cease work in the villages from the date of publication of this release till the matter was resolved by the departments concerned.

They, however, assured that it would not disrupt work in those villages and towns not included in

protest beyond the permitted time.

Vikramarka called off his fast in the hospital Monday following an appeal by state Congress president N Uttam Kumar Reddy and other leaders. They urged him to end the fast as his health was a matter of concern.

Uttam Kumar Reddy, also MP-elect, Monday said his party would seek an appointment with the President to take up the “illegal” merger issue with him, besides raising it in Parliament.

Telangana Assembly Speaker P Srinivas Reddy Thursday last recognised 12 MLAs of Congress as members of TRS, hours after they moved him, seeking merger of their group with the ruling party.

The Speaker acceded to their request, considering the fact that they constituted two-thirds of the Congress Legislature Party, a requirement for merger under the anti-defection law.

Asserting that a 100bedded hospital could not be managed without sufficient and proper diagnostic facilities, the bodies had also called for rectification of ramp and elevator as both the ramp and elevator at the new building were not patient-friendly.

They alleged that ramp meant for taking serious patients on a trolley was very stiff and would require about 10 people to push the trolley.

Calling for rectification and installation of 67 missing air conditioners, the memorandum had alleged that though as per the DPR 90 Mitsubushi air conditioners were sanctioned, only 23 of these of

very low quality had been installed till date.

Stressing that ensuring continuous water supply and sufficient water storage facilities were essential in maintaining and keeping the hospital clean, the organisations said only 800 litres of water storage capacity had been installed and demanded installation of 40,000-litre water storage capacity.

The organisations also stated that mortuary unit equipments had not arrived till date, though these were clearly mentioned in the DPR. They demanded that the assigned agency should bring those sanctioned equipments within a stipulated time.

8.5 per cent, has fuelled controversy.

Subramanian said: “This paper shows that India changed its data sources and methodology for estimating real gross domestic product (GDP) for the period since 2011-12. This change has led to a significant overestimation of growth.”

“Official estimates place annual average GDP growth between 2011-12 and 2016-17 at about 7 per cent. We estimate that actual growth may have been about 4.5 per cent with a 95 per cent confidence interval of 3.5 - 5.5 per cent,” the research paper added.

The ex-CEA says there was “Proxying Informal by Formal Activity”.

The informal sector accounts for 30 per cent of manufacturing gross value added (GVA - excludes taxes) and hence about 5 per cent of overall GVA. According to the paper, this proxy might be reasonable

for recapitalisation.

As per the latest data from the RBI, credit growth increased 11.7 per cent year-on-year in April, higher than 10.5 per cent in the same period a year ago.

In February this year, the government approved a Rs 48,239 crore recapitalisation plan for 12 PSBs, including the fraud-hit Punjab National Bank (PNB), to help them come out of the PCA framework.

The government infused Rs 6,896 crore in Allahabad Bank, Rs 4,112 crore in Union Bank, Rs 205 crore in Bank of Maharashtra, Rs 4,638 crore in Bank of India, Rs 9,086 crore in Corporation Bank and Rs 3,806 crore in Indian Overseas Bank.

in normal times. But it likely overestimated growth during a period when major policy actions - “demonetization and GST” - disproportionately impacted the informal sector. Two important policy implications follow, says the ex-CEA, adding that the entire national income accounts estimation should be revisited, harnessing new opportunities created by the Goods and Services Tax (GST) to significantly improve it, while restoring growth should be the urgent priority for the new government. “India must restore the reputational damage suffered to data generation in India across the board -from GDP to employment to government accounts -- not just by conferring statutory independence on the National Statistical Commission, but also appointing people with stellar technical and personal reputations,” the paper said.

“At the same time, the entire methodology and implementation for GDP estimation must be revisited by an independent task force, comprising both national and international experts, with impeccable technical credentials and demonstrable stature. And it must include not just statisticians but also macro-economists and policy practitioners.”

New Delhi, Jun 11 (IANS): After enhancing the recapitalisation amount for public sector banks (PSBs) to Rs 1.06 lakh crore in the last fiscal, the Finance Ministry is not in favour of infusing more funds in PSBs so soon after, and is unlikely to seek provision for it in the forthcoming Union Budget, an official source said on Tuesday.

“We have not sought any capital in the Budget so far for banks recapitalisation. The reviews of their funding needs are usually done in Q3 (third quarter) onwards, so we don’t know the assessment as of now,” the source said.

And also they have just been funded in last fiscal and if further should they need funds, we will raise it through supplementary demands”, he added.

In 2018-19, the government had pumped in the highest-ever infusion of Rs 1.6 lakh crore into PSBs to meet regulatory and growth capital requirements, helping five lenders come out of the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) framework for banks with massive accumulated non-performing assets (NPAs or bad loans).

New Delhi, Jun 11 (IANS): The growth numbers have come back to haunt the government with former Chief Economic Advisor (CEA) Arvind Subramanian also questioning the change in GDP calculation methods and numbers effected last year.

In his recent research paper published by Harvard University, the former CEA has said there is a possibility of substantial overestimation in the growth figures while stating that the actual GDP growth between 2011-12 and 2016-17 was around 4.5 per cent as against 7 per cent.

“A variety of evidence suggests that the methodology changes introduced for the post-2011 GDP estimates led to an over-estimation of GDP growth”, he said.

Subramanian has suggested that India’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth estimate has been overestimated by around 2.5 percentage points between 2011-12 and 2016-17, a period that covers the years during both the UPA and the NDA governments.

Lahore, Jun 11 (PTI): Pakistan has approved “in principle” India’s request to allow Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s aircraft fly over its airspace to Bishkek to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit this week, according to a senior Pakistani official, who hoped that New Delhi would respond to Islamabad’s offer for peace dialogue.

India requested Pakistan to let Prime Minister Modi’s aircraft fly over its airspace to Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan to attend the SCO summit on June 1314. Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan is also attending the meeting of the regional grouping. Pakistan had fully closed its airspace on February 26 after an Indian Air Force (IAF) strike on a Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terror camp in Balakot. Since then, it has only opened two routes, both of them pass through southern Pakistan, of the total 11.

Ba n g ko k , J u n 1 1 (IANS): Coup leader General Prayuth Chan-ocha on Tuesday took office as the Prime Minister of Thailand in a ceremony at the government headquarters, opening a new phase in the country after five years of a military junta.

Prayuth was elected Prime Minister in a vote in Parliament on June 5, but his appointment became official on Tuesday after King Maha Vajiralongkorn’s approval was published in the Royal Gazette, the country’s official bulletin.

During the swearing-in, 65-year-old Prayuth, dressed in a formal white uniform, knelt before a portrait of King Maha Vajiralongkorn, who was not present, Efe news reported.

“I affirm that I will dedicate myself to public service with honesty and integrity in pursuit of the greater good of the country and the people of Thailand,” the Prime Minister said at a press conference after the event, in which he

Some research participants also reported the presence of plain-clothes security officers in the crowd, and their mobile phones being taken from them upon entry, presumably to prevent the executions being recorded and distributed.

Escapees interviewed told the TJWG that investigating killings and body disposals may “help to prosecute the North Korean regime” in the future and that the dead “should be returned to their families as the dead are human beings”.

“The inability to access information on the whereabouts of a family member killed by the state and the impossibility of giving them a proper burial violates both cultural norms and the ‘right to know,’” said the report’s lead author Dr Sarah Son.

2 killed, 3 injured in bomb attack in West Bengal KO L K AT A , J U N 1 1 (IANS): Two persons were killed and three injured after bombs were allegedly hurled in West Bengal’s North 24 Parganas district, police said on Tuesday.

The incident was reported from Baruipara in Kankinara area on Monday night.

Claiming that the victims were their supporters, the state’s ruling Trinamool Congress district President and Minister Jyotipriya Mallick alleged that bombs were hurled at them by miscreants backed by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

BJP’s Barrackpore MP Arjun Singh, however, denied the allegations.

The two deceased were identified as Mohammed Mukhtar and Mohammed Halim, police said.

The incident took place when the family members of Mukhtar were sitting outside their house, police said.

Abhinandan's now-viral statement: "I'm sorry, I am not supposed to tell you this" several times in the advertisement as he is asked questions related to India's playing XI and the team's strategy if it wins the toss.

He is also seen sipping a cup of tea—much like the way Abhinandan was seen in clips made public by the Pakistani authorities after his capture on February 27.

After two questions, the character impersonating Abhinandan is told by the interrogator to leave. As the impersonator gets up to leave, he is pulled back by the interrogator who says: "Ek second ruko! cup kahan leke ja raho ho? (Wait a second! Where are you taking the cup?)." The idea to pun on the word "cup" was to refer to the coveted trophy.

one year and two months, according to the CSE. “Thus, together Indians lose 2.6 years,” it said. The report said household air pollution contributes about a quarter of the outdoor air pollution in the country.

“The deadly tally broken up by diseases shows that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) due to air pollution at 49 per cent is responsible for close to half of deaths, followed by lung cancer deaths at 33 per cent, diabetes and ischaemic heart disease at 22 per cent each and stroke at 15 per cent. It is disturbing how COPD, lung cancer and ischaemic heart disease dominate the dubious tally,” it said.

The report referred to two review papers by scientists from the Forum of International Respiratory Societies and said air pollution can harm acutely as well as chronically, potentially affecting every organ in the body.

“According to the study, ultra-fine particles pass through lungs are taken up by cells and carried via the bloodstream to expose virtually all cells in the body.

Air pollution may be damaging every organ and virtually every cell in the human body, according to a comprehensive new global review recently reported,” the CSE said.

BENGALURU, JUN 11 (PTI): The Karnataka BJP Tuesday took a dig at Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy, accusing him of openly threatening and abusing journalists in the state.

The BJP was reacting to Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s tweet against Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath over the action against scribes in the northern state.

It listed out incidents of police action against some journalists in the state and also accused Gandhi of “hypocrisy”.

“Your CM @hd_kumaraswamy openly threatens & abuses journalists.

Journalist Santosh Thammaiah arrested for speaking against atrocity of Tippu.

FIR filed on @VishweshwarBhat for repor ting on CM’s sons behaviour.

You’re exactly how a human version of ‘hypocrisy’ would look like,” it tweeted in a reply to Gandhi. “@hd_kumaraswamy anna, your friend @rahulgandhi thinks you are behaving foolishly by arresting people who are posting memes or writing blogs against you. But he is scared to name you, fearing that you will pull the plug & his party will be out of

TN govt seeks Rs 5,000 cr central funds for drinking water schemes

4 die inside Kerala Express due to extreme heat

ing challenges in supplying drinking water following depletion of water table and drying up of water sources in the respective areas, it said.

“In order to mitigate the situation, immediate drought relief work like sinking of new borewells, desilting of open wells, rejuvenation of water supply schemes and water supply through tanker lorries are being taken up by the state on a war footing with the available resources. “... and as an innovative measure, abandoned quarries have been utilised to draw and supply water to the public after testing scientifically and treating the water,” it added.

Further, as part of its waste-management activities, Tamil Nadu proposed setting up micro composting centres during the year 2019-20 in peri-urban or bigger village panchayat and sought a sanction of Rs 300 crore for this.

LU C K N OW, J U N 1 1 (AGENCIES): Four senior citizens travelling in Kerala Express reportedly died due to the severe heat wave in Uttar Pradesh on Monday evening.

According to railway sources, the four passengers, including a woman, were travelling from Agra Cantonment to Coimbatore inside sleeper coach S8 and S9.

While three were found dead when the train reached Jhansi around 7 PM, the fourth passenger was rushed to the hospital in a critical condition where he later died.A group of 65 passengers, who were all senior citizens, were on a “UP darshan”, according to the Jhansi division railway PRO Manoj Singh.

The group had boarded the coaches S8 and S9 of the Kerala Express at Agra Cant at 4 pm.

According to co-passengers, the victims had been feeling uneasy due to the extreme heat.

C H E N NA I , J U N 1 1 (PTI): The Tamil Nadu government Tuesday requested the Centre for sanctioning over Rs 5,000 crore for various drinking water supply schemes in the state, including a desalination plant for Villupuram district.

The plea comes in the backdrop of the state facing an acute water shortage, especially the capital city of Chennai, with water managers resorting to various measures like supply through tankers to manage the situation.

S P Velumani, Minister for Municipal Administration, presented a memorandum to Union Minister for Jal Shakti Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, in New Delhi on Tuesday, and sought sanction for projects totalling Rs 5,398 crore.

The proposed projects include a desalination plant and connected pipeline works with a capacity of 100 MLD to Villupuram and Tindivanam municipalities and Marakkanam and Vikkaravandi town panchayat, estimated at about Rs 2,000 crore, the memorandum said.

NEW DELHI, JUN 11 (AGENCIES): Life expectancy in India has gone down by 2.6 years due to deadly diseases caused by air pollution, according to a recent report by an environment think tank. The report by the environment organisation Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) revealed that outdoor and household air pollution together are causing deadly diseases.

“Air pollution is now the third highest cause of death among all health risks ranking just above smoking in India. This is a combined effect of outdoor particulate matter (PM) 2.5, ozone and household air pollution.

“Due to this combined exposure, South Asians, including Indians are dying early - their life expectancy has reduced by over 2.6 years.

This is much higher than the global tally of reduced life expectancy by an average of 20 months. While globally a child born today will die 20 months sooner on an average than would be expected without air pollution in India they would die 2.6 years earlier,” the report released by the CSE said.

While exposure to outdoor particulate matter (PM) accounted for a loss of nearly one year and six months in life expectancy, exposure to household air pollution accounted for a loss of nearly

The initiative will benefit about 16.78 lakh people, the memorandum released here by the state government said.

Other proposals submitted for central sanction include those for combined water supply schemes and creation of rain water harvesting structures for improving the water resources, it said.

Various other drought mitigation works by rural local bodies were also proposed.

The state government pointed out that Tamil Nadu faced an “unprecedented” drought in 2016, with the subsequent two years yielding only deficit rainfall.

Due to no monsoon, the local bodies were fac-

The Congress chief had earlier in the day criticised the arrest of scribe Prashant Kanojia and an editor and a head of a Noida-based TV channel, saying Adityanath is behaving “foolishly” and he should release the journalists.

“If every journalist who files a false report or peddles fake, vicious RSS/ BJP sponsored propaganda about me is put in jail, most newspapers/news channels would face a severe staff shortage. The UP CM is behaving foolishly & needs to release the arrested journalists,” Gandhi had tweeted.

He had also slammed news channels, claiming they were “belittling” politicians on their satire programmes and said he felt there was a need to bring in a law to regulate them.

Reacting to the BJP, the JD(S) tweeted, “@ BJP4Karnataka So you’re accepting that you and your supporters peddle fake news & end up in jail?

Must be pretty tough acknowledging it. Next step is, understanding peddling fake news with malicious intention is not FoE. Third step is, Stop. Peddling.

Mumbai businessman gets life term for hijack scare on plane Ahmedabad, Jun 11 (PTI): A special NIA court here on Tuesday awarded life imprisonment to a Mumbai-based businessman and imposed a fine of Rs 5 crore on him for leaving a hijack threat note on a Jet Airways plane in October 2017.

The court of special NIA judge K M Dave said the fine amount submitted by the convict, businessman Birju Salla, will be distributed among the crew members and passengers on board the affected plane.

Salla was accused of creating a hijack scare by planting a threat note written in English and Urdu in the tissue paper box of the aircraft’s toilet on October 30. After the incident, Salla become the first person to be put under the “national no-fly list”, and was also the first to be booked under the stringent Anti Hijacking Act, which had replaced a vintage law of 1982.

The NIA had in January last year filed a charge

Chandigarh, Jun 11 (IANS): The Indian cricket team is scheduled to play against Pakistan on June 16 at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester.

The excitement to see the two countries on the field is already at its peak. The latest advertisement shared by Pakistan on World Cup 2019 has been making rounds on social media.

In a 33-second video released by Pakistan's Jazz TV, the character impersonating Abhinandan can be seen sporting the Indian Air Force pilot's signature moustache.

In the advertisement, we can see a look-alike of Abhinandan, however, instead of a military dress, the character is shown wearing the jersey of the Indian cricket team.

The look-a-like repeats

BJP accuses Kumaraswamy of openly threatening, abusing scribes

sheet against him under Sections 3(1), 3(2)(a) and 4(b) of the Anti-Hijacking Act, 2016.

The NIA had said Salla prepared a “threat note” in both English and Urdu language and placed it “intentionally” in the tissue paper box of the toilet near the business class of the Mumbai-Delhi Jet Airways flight no.9W339 on October 30, thereby jeopardizing the safety of passengers and crew on board.

He was arrested in October 2017 after the plane made an emergency landing at the Ahmedabad airport.

He confessed to the crime and told investigators that he had done it in the hope that it would force Jet Airways to close its Delhi operation and his girlfriend, who worked in the airline’s Delhi office, would come back to Mumbai.

The note asked the plane to be flown into Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir.

The note ended with the words, Allah is Great.

AMEDABAD, JUN 11 (PTI): The Gujarat administration is on high alert to deal with cyclone ‘Vayu’, which is likely to hit the state coast near Veraval on Thursday, officials said.

Chief Minister Vijay Rupani on Tuesday said people living in the coastal belt would be shifted to safer places.

As per the latest weather report, the cyclonic storm Vayu is located around 650 km south of Veraval coast and is “very likely to intensify further into a severe cyclonic storm” in next 12 hours and hit the state coast on June 13.

Rupani told reporters in Gandhinagar that the entire coastline, starting from Kutch to south Gujarat, has been put on “high alert”.

The officials concerned are in touch with the Odisha government to learn and implement the disaster man-

“We have installed power generators at all the ports. Cargo and Ro Ro ferry operations have been halted. Leaves of port and transport employees have been cancelled,” said Tomar.

State meteorological centre director Dr Jayanta Sarkar said the cyclonic storm is very likely to move northwards and cross the Gujarat coast between Porbandar and Mahuva, that is near Veraval, as a severe cyclonic storm with wind speed of around 120 kmph.

“This may go up to 135 kmph during early morning of June 13,” he said.

Fishermen who ventured into the sea have been called back, he said.

A distant war ning number 2 (DW-2) signal has been hoisted at the major ports of Gujarat to alert locals as well as fishermen, Sarkar said.

The cyclone would leave its impact on the coastal districts, including Kutch, Bhavnagar, Gir-Somnath, Porbandar, Amreli and Junagadh, he said.

“It would also bring heavy to extremely heavy rainfall in the region. Rain would also occur in some pockets of south Gujarat.

The cyclone’s effect will prevail over Gujarat on June 12, 13 and 14,” he added.

SC grants bail to journalist Prashant Kanojia

NEW DELHI, JUN 11 (PTI): The Supreme Court Tuesday ordered immediate release of journalist Prashant Kanojia, who was arrested for allegedly making objectionable comments against Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on social media, saying fundamental right to liberty is “sacrosanct” and “nonnegotiable”.

The top court also deprecated the journalist for his posts against Adityanath and said it did not approve of them. A vacation bench, comprising justices Indira Banerjee and Ajay Rastogi, said it is granting bail to the scribe as it disapproves the deprivation of right to liberty by the state.

“A citizen’s right to liberty is sacrosanct and non-negotiable. It is a fundamental right granted under the Constitution and can’t be infringed upon by the state,” the bench said.

Kanojia had allegedly shared a video on Twitter and Facebook wherein a woman is seen speaking to reporters of various media organisations outside the chief minister’s office in Lucknow, claiming that she had sent a marriage proposal to Adityanath.

An FIR was registered against Kanojia by a subinspector at the Hazratganj police station in Uttar Pradesh on Friday night in which it was alleged that the accused made “objectionable comments against the CM and tried to malign his

image”. The top court made it clear that the proceedings against the journalist will go on as per the law.

The bench observed that even courts have to bear the brunt of social media.

“Sometimes even we have to suffer the brunt of social media. Sometimes it is just and sometimes it is unjust but we have to exer-

cise our powers,” the bench said. The court was hearing a habeas corpus (bring the person) petition filed by Kanojia’s wife, Jagisha Arora, challenging his arrest.

Additional Solicitor General Vikramjit Banerjee, appearing for the Uttar Pradesh government, said the petition cannot be entertained as the accused is in

judicial custody. To this the bench said, “The law is very clear. A person cannot be deprived of his rights. Even if it is an Article 32 petition, the Supreme Court can entertain it. The Supreme Court can’t keep its hands folded when there is deprivation of right to liberty.”

The court also questioned the 11-day judicial custody give to the journalist and said, “In the facts of the case, a person can’t be allowed to stand 11 days behind bars”.

“We are not approving what the journalist has tweeted/posted on social media. The person is behind the bars, which is troubling us. He should be immediately released on bail,” the bench said.

The ASG then contended that the proceedings in the case should not be quashed or set aside.

Congress president Rahul Gandhi and party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra Tuesday hit out at the Uttar Pradesh government over the arrest of scribe Prashant Kanojia and the editor and the head of a Noida-based TV channel.

Rahul Gandhi also claimed that if every journalist who files a false report or peddles fake, vicious RSS/BJP sponsored propaganda about him is put in jail, most newspapers or news channels would face a severe staff shortage.

“The UP CM is behav-

ing foolishly and needs to release the arrested journalists,” the Congress president tweeted. Retweeting Rahul Gandhi’s tweet, AICC incharge Uttar Pradesh (East) Priyanka Gandhi also attacked the state government over the issue.

“Instead of working on the issues of the people, the UP government is cracking the whip of fear on journalists, farmers and representatives,” she tweeted in Hindi.

Kanojia, Anuj Shukla, who is the editor of Noidabased TV channel Nation

Live, and its head Ishika Singh, have faced police action over the release of alleged objectionable content against the UP chief minister. Rahul and Priyanka’s attack on the UP government came on a day the Supreme Court ordered immediate release of Kanojia, saying the fundamental right to liberty is “sacrosanct” and “non-negotiable”.

The Editors Guild had on Sunday condemned the arrest of Kanojia, Singh and Shukla, describing the police action as an “authoritarian misuse of laws” and an ef-

149 cases filed against posts targeting Kerala CM: Cong leader T H I RU VA NA N THAPURAM, JUN 11 (IANS): Leader of Opposition Ramesh Chennithala on Tuesday said on the floor of the Kerala Assembly that 149 cases were registered against various people for posting remarks against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on social media, while nothing happened to the complaints lodged by other political leaders.

"W ha t is ha pp e n ing in Kerala is similar to the developments in Uttar Pradesh ruled by Yogi Adityanath," Chennithala said amidst cheer from the opposition benches.

To this, the bench said it is certainly not quashing the proceedings in the case and it will go on in accordance with the law.

“Certainly granting bail would not mean approving his tweets/posts on social media and our remarks would not affect the court proceedings, which will go on in accordance with the law,” it said.

“It is not the approval of the action of the journalist but it is the disapproval of the state’s action which deprives citizen’s right to liberty,” it added.

It asked the state government to show magnanimity and release the journalist on bail.

The ASG requested the court to clarify in its order that it does not accord approval to the tweets or posts made by the journalist on social media.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court asked the Uttar Pradesh government to release freelance journalist Prashant Kanojia, who was recently arrested by the UP Police for posting a tweet mocking Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

"While as many as 149 cases have been registered against people for posting remarks against Vijayan, nothing happened when I complained about being defamed on social media.

Also, no case was registered against those who defamed former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy," Chennithala said.

MUMBAI, JUN 11 (IANS): NRI tele-evangelist Zakir Naik on Tuesday expressed his willingness to return to India if the Supreme Court gave him in writing that he will not be arrested and jailed till he is actually convicted.

In a statement, the Islamic preacher - who is on the run - said that while he has trust in the Indian judiciary, he had no faith in the prosecution system.

“Despite allegations and complaints, there is not a single verdict against me in any court anywhere in India or the world. The recent history of India is replete with cases of Muslims being arrested and put

in jail for eight-20 years before being declared innocent by the court. Knowing this record of the Indian agencies, I would not like to take chance of ruining my life and my unfinished work,” Naik asserted.

He was responding to the latest developments in India where the Enforcement Directorate (ED) which has charged him with a Rs 193 crore moneylaundering case - is planning to get a Mumbai court issue a non-bailable arrest warrant.

If the warrant is issued, the ED will send a petition to the InterPol seeking a red corner notice (RCN) to all member-coun-

New Delhi, Jun 11 (Agencies): Congress Party’s leadership dilemma is becoming a source of acute anxiety for the party rank and file with neither leaders nor workers aware of the ongoing intrigues.

With no hand on realtime information, party persons are busy hazarding guesses as to who could succeed Rahul Gandhi as party president after he told the working committee on May 25 “to find a non-Gandhi” chief. An AICC source today said, “No one expect the family knows what is going on at present or what will happen in the future.”

The remark sounds ironical given Rahul Gandhi’s urge to install a nonGandhi in his place but common knowledge in Congress is that the decision on replacement of Rahul will come from within the family and find endorsement from the wider party later.

This appears increasingly evident as there is no visible sign of any discussion on Rahul Gandhi’s successor. Since the May 25 CWC meeting, Rahul Gandhi has confined himself indoors declining all appointments save the one he had with Punjab minister Navjot Singh Sidhu yesterday.

The only other occasions where he got involved was – when he addressed the Congress Parliamentary Party recently; when he met a visiting Chinese delegation at his mother and UPA chief ’s house and when

Sources said options before the party were limited. “There can be a party president along with a collective of few leaders working with him or there could be party chief and Rahul Gandhi could find himself another role by way of structural overhaul of the Congress which the CWC authorised him to do. It’s all in the realm of speculation right now. But one thing is clear. As the flux continues, Sonia Gandhi’s role becomes larger and apparent,” a senior party leader said.

A Congress insider added that once a decision is taken on the replacement of Rahul Gandhi, the new structural changes can be implemented after the unanimous approval of the Congress Working Committee.

“Except five times in the Congress history, party presidents have been elected through unanimous approval of the CWC. Once the CWC endorses a name, the AICC Plenary stamp remains mere formality,” said a Congress veteran.

NEW DELHI, JUN 11 (PTI): The first meeting of the new council of ministers will be held on Wednesday in which Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to outline the roadmap of his government, sources said Tuesday.

The prime minister is expected to underline the role of ministers of state in the running of ministries and may ask Cabinet ministers to give their deputies adequate responsibilities.

Deliberations are also likely to be held on an action plan for the government’s next five years and Modi is expected to brief the ministers on it.

The meeting of council of ministers was a regular feature in the previous tenure of the Modi government. He used to brief them about government’s various welfare schemes and how to make people aware about them. Modi used to review the performances of key ministries and sectors.

The Union Cabinet will also meet Wednesday ahead of the council of ministers’ meeting.

With Parliament session beginning next week, the ministers of state will have a key role as in most of the ministries they are responsible to handle parliamentary questions which are tabled on the floor of the House. Cabinet ministers usually handle questions for which oral replies are to be given.

CHANDIGARH, JUN 11 (PTI): The post-mortem report of two-year-old Fatehvir Singh, who was pulled out from a 150-foot-deep unused borewell shaft Tuesday morning after an unsuccessful rescue operation that lasted over four days, suggested that he died “a few days back”.

The child was rushed to the Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) here, but the doctors declared him brought dead.

Kim Jong-nam was a CIA operative: Report

tionship with Kim Jong-nam comes as nuclear diplomacy between the US and North Korea is at a standstill following a February summit in Hanoi between Kim Jong-un and US President Donald Trump that ended without an agreement.

Kim Jong-nam’s role as a CIA informant is also described in a book about Kim Jong Un, “The Great Successor”, written by a Washington Post reporter and due to be published on Tuesday, according to news reports citing excerpts of the book.

Kim Jong-nam travelled to Malaysia in February 2017 to meet his CIA contact, although that may not have been the sole purpose of the trip, Efe news quoted the source as saying.

Police testified during the trial of the two women that Kim Jong-nam had spent several days on the resort island of Langkawi, where he met an unknown KoreanAmerican man at a hotel.

Malaysia in May released from prison a Vietnamese woman, Doan Thi Huong, who was charged in Kim Jong-nam killing. Her co-defendant, Siti Aisyah from Indonesia, was freed in March.

International Afghan forces free over 50 hostages from Taliban Kabul, Jun 11 (IANS): Afghan forces have captured two detention centres of the Taliban in Baghlan and Kunduz provinces, setting free more than 50 detainees, officials said on Tuesday.

In a latest crackdown on Taliban militants, security forces stormed a Taliban bastion in Aqtash district of Kunduz province at 2 a.m. (local time). Besides inflicting casualties on the insurgent group, the security forces set free 13 detainees, provincial police spokesman Inamudin Rahmani was cited as saying by Xinhua news agency. He said the majority of the Taliban hostages were civilians and the outfit had mistreated them in the custody.

In another crackdown, Afghan forces raided a Taliban base in Larkhabia area of Baghlan province in the wee hours of Tuesday and released 44 inmates, including security personnel and civilians, district Governor Khanzada Mazlomyar said.

However, locals say that the number of released hostages stands less than 44. Interior Ministry spokesman Nasrat Rahimi told Xinhua news agency that 17 of the detainees released in Baghlan were civilians and the remaining were personnel of security forces, including the Army and police.

Mike Pompeo to visit Delhi before Modi-Trump meeting New York, Jun 11 (IANS): US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has announced that he will be visiting India later this month to build on “an incredibly important relationship” that is “closely tied economically”.

Pompeo’s visit will take place as the two countries get ready for a meeting between a newly re-elected Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Donald Trump during the G-20 Summit on June 28 and 29 in Osaka, Japan.

In preparation for his visit, Pompeo will be outlining to Indian business leaders in Washington on Wednesday “what we’ve been working on for my entire time here in the IndoPacific”, he told reporters at the State Department on Monday.

Pompeo’s focus on economic ties comes amid stresses in trade relations from Trump’s America First policy and priority to cut trade deficits.

“I’m looking forward to the opportunity both to give the set of remarks about how it is our relationship is so closely tied economically, but also importantly the things that the United States and India can continue to do to build out what is an incredibly important rela-

Lanka.

Pompeo is to deliver the keynote address on Wednesday to the two-day India Ideas Summit of the US-India Business Council on “The US and India: An Economic Foundation for a Free and Open IndoPacific”.

India has been in Trump’s trade crosshairs.

The US ended tariff concessions to some imports from India under the General Scheme of Preferences earlier this month accusing New Delhi of not giving “equitable and reasonable access” to its markets.

India was also hit by Trump imposing 25 per cent tariff on steel imports and 10 aluminium imports last year.

India has threatened retaliatory tariffs on agricultural imports from the US. Trump has criticised India several times over import duties on Harley Davidson motorcycles, which are a favourite of a section of his base, and whiskey, a product of Kentucky state that was one of his electoral bastions.

India has also criticised the US tightening restrictions on H1-B professional visas that affects technology workers from India and moves to strip the spouses of the visa-holders of work permits.

2 Indian pilgrims die as truck rams bus in Nepal Kathmandu, Jun 11 (PTI): A passenger bus carrying 60 Indian pilgrims has been hit by a truck in Nepal’s Rautahat district, killing two persons on the spot and wounding 21 others, a media report said Tuesday. The accident occurred late Monday night when the Kathmandu-bound bus stopped at Paurai forest area in Chandrapur Municipality-1 for the passengers to freshen up, said Nabin Karki, Deputy Superintendent of Police at Rautahat District Police Office.

There were 60 pilgrims inside the bus which was pushed some 20 metres into the forest after being rammed from behind by the truck, the officer said.

The deceased have been identified as Bijay Kumar Jena (52) and Charan Bishal (54), both from Odisha, Karki told The Himalayan Times, adding that they died on the spot. The bodies of the deceased have been kept at a government health facility in Chandranigahapur municipality for post-mortem. Among the 21 injured, three pilgrims — Sarbeshwor Jena (55), Sheshadev Jena (53) and Karuna Karjuna Awasthi (63) — are in critical condition and are undergoing treatment at Birjung-based Neuro Hospital, Karki said.

Washington, Jun 11 (IANS): Kim Jong-nam, the slain half brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, was an informant for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) who met on several occasions with agency operatives, Efe news quoted an informed source as saying here.

“There was a nexus” between the US spy agency and Kim Jong-nam, the source said on Monday.

Kim Jong-nam was killed in the Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia in February 2017, when two women smeared his face with the nerve agent VX. US and South Korean officials have blamed the attack on North Korea, which it denies.

Many details of Kim Jong-nam’s relationship with the CIA remain unclear.

Several former US officials said the half brother, who had lived outside of North Korea for many years and had no known power base in Pyongyang, was unlikely to be able to provide details of the secretive country’s inner workings.

They also said Kim Jong-nam, who resided mainly in Macau, was almost certainly in contact

with security services of other countries, particularly China’s.

The CIA has declined to comment on the development. Chinese officials didn’t respond to a request for comment.

The fact that the CIA held meetings with Kim Jong-nam illustrates the lengths US intelligence will go to gather information about the hermetic country.

There has been speculation among former US officials and analysts that outside countries, including China, saw Kim Jong-nam as a possible successor to Kim Jong-un should the latter’s rule be in danger.

But US intelligence agencies concluded that Kim Jong-nam was ill-suited to fill such a role, several former US officials said.

Trump to slap more tariffs on China if Xi skips G20 summit France welcomes Modi’s proposal for global conference against terrorism

Washington, Jun 11 (IANS): US President Donald Trump said that he will move forward with proposed tariffs on $300 billion worth of Chinese imports if China’s President Xi Jinping does not meet with him at the G20 summit later this month in Japan.

“China ver y much wants to make a deal. They want to make a deal much more than I do, but we’ll see what happens,” Efe news quoted Trump as saying to CNBC television during a telephonic interview, wherein he announced that if Xi doesn’t show up at the G20 summit, the new round of tariffs will take effect immediately.

“China is going to

make a deal because they are going to have to make a deal,” the US President said.

Regarding plans to talk with Xi in Japan, Trump said: “We’re expected to meet and if we do that’s fine, and if we don’t - look, from our standpoint the best deal we can have is 25 per cent on $600 billion.”

“If we don’t have a deal and don’t make a deal, we’ll be raising the tariffs,” he said. He once again hailed the power of tariffs to place the United States at “a tremendous competitive advantage,” and cited the agreement reached this weekend with Mexico for the southern neighbor to either strengthen migration control or have new tariffs

New York, Jun 11 (IANS): One person was killed after a helicopter crashed onto the roof of a skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan of New York City, media reported.

The crash occurred around 2 pm (1800 GMT) at 787 7th Avenue in Manhattan in fog and rain. A fire was caused by the crash and was quickly brought under

You know why? Because of tariffs,” Trump said. “Right now, China is getting absolutely decimated by companies that are leaving China, going to other countries, including our own, because they don’t want to pay the tariffs.”

In May, Trump raised the tariffs on Chinese imports worth $200 billion from 10 per cent to 25 per cent and threatened with similar duties the rest of Chinese imports if no accord is reached with Xi at the G20. China retaliated for the levies by imposing tariffs on $11 billion worth of goods from the US and has signaled that it is prepared to

New Delhi, Jun 11 (IANS): France on Monday welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call for a global conference to tackle terrorism which will discuss ways to end loopholes that are exploited by terrorists for their nefarious designs.

French Minister of State for Europe and Foreign Affairs Jean Baptiste Lemoyne said on the sidelines of an event that every single initiative to fight against terrorism was welcome. “In this century, terrorism is threat for every

single country in the world.

We have seen that terrorist are threatening in Africa, Europe, in Asia. So I think everything that can be done to unite efforts is welcome and it is a global challenge as climate change,” he said.

He was responding to a query about Modi’s proposal for a global conference against terrorism on the lines of global cooperation to tackle climate change.

Modi had said during his visit to Maldives on Saturday that he expects

the world organisations and leading countries will hold a global conference against terrorism in a time-bound manner so that the loopholes that are exploited by terrorists and their supporters are plugged. He had said that If there was delay, the coming generations “will not forgive us”. Answering a query on India-France defence partnership, Lemoyne said it was strong and refferred to collaboration in production of submarines and India acquiring Rafale jets.

Scientists find 9 MILE wide crater in Scotland A nine-mile (15km) wide crater caused by a meteorite collision has been unearthed off the coast of north west Scotland.

The space rock, which was more than half a mile across (1.5km), created ‘Britain’s biggest meteorite crater in history’ 1.2 billion years ago.

It was caused by a 13 billion ton meteorite that crashed near the town of Ullapool - part way across The Minch towards Stornoway in the Outer Hebrides.

The object was travelling at more than 40,000 miles per hour (65,000kph) and struck the Earth with the force of 940 million Hiroshima bombs.

This left a crater beneath the North Atlantic that lay buried deep under the sea floor - and which remains submerged to this day.

Scientists from the University of Oxford first discovered evidence of the ancient strike eleven years ago and have now finally pinpointed its precise location.

It lies under the Minch, the rough sea that separates Lewis in the Outer Hebrides

This bank of sandstone at Stoer hints at the deformation of the sea floor caused by the impact.

from the far Highlands of Scotland, between 9.3 and 12.4 miles (15 and 20km) west of a remote part of the beach.

They first found evidence that a structure lies between the Western Isles and mainland Scotland back in 2008.

They found evidence on the Highlands coast of rocky debris that would have been produced by a giant impact.

Now, the team, from

Oxford and Aberdeen universities, believes it can pinpoint where the object fell to Earth.

Lead author Dr Ken Amor, an earth scientist at the University of Oxford, told MailOnline that a large rock struck the Earth and the asteroid made a crater in the sea.

‘Material gets thrown out into the atmosphere, which is a mixture of molten rock fragments, hot gas and pulverised rock which

spreads out. ‘This plume cloud, then collapses and starts travelling around and spreading out across the landscape, eventually coming to a halt.

The team took measurements from the outcrop, or bed rock, to find directional information and therefore find out where the impact may have been.

‘We’ve inferred where it is and that it is buried under two metres of water,’ he said.

‘The material excavated during a giant meteorite impact is rarely preserved on Earth, because it is rapidly eroded, so this is a really exciting discovery.

‘It was purely by chance this one landed in an ancient rift valley where fresh sediment quickly covered the debris to preserve it.

‘The next step will be a detailed geophysical survey in our target area of the Minch Basin, which is something like what they would use in the oil industry.’

Dr Amor said that a 3D seismic survey would be the best way to pinpoint the crater - which will cost hundreds of thousands of pounds. Working with colleagues at the University of Aberdeen, he first found debris believed to have been flung out in the collision in 2008. The thickness and extent of the deposit suggested it was near the coast - but the exact site remained a mystery.

If humans had been around then they would have seen quite a show. It would have melted rocks and thrown up an enormous cloud of vapour.

The hacking was taken note of within minutes.

“We have informed our cyber unit and the Maharashtra Cyber about the hacked Twitter account of Amitabh Bachchan. They are investigating the matter,” a police spokesperson said in a statement.

Shooting had to be canceled last month after Craig injured his ankle, while other delays have been caused by a script rewrite and a new director being brought in when Danny Boyle quit.

people like to hear are, you know, ‘Paint it Black, ‘Honky Tonk [Women]’ and ‘Satisfaction’ and things like that,” said Jagger.

“We don’t always necessarily do all of them.

We sometimes drop one or two, but there’s maybe ten favorites. I don’t know how people would feel if you didn’t do any of them. I think people would say, ‘Oh, that’s a bit unfortunate, I came to hear this.’” At the same time, he says “We usually have a [fan] vote song. We usually throw a couple different things in. There might be a few.”

This comes after Jagger proved that he’s back to full health by posting a video that showed him dancing to The Wombats’ ‘Techno Fan’ in a recent rehearsal.

Last week, the band also released footage of their reissued ‘Rock and Roll Circus’ – which sees them performing ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’ during the 1968 recording.

ick Jagger has confirmed that he’s fighting fit after undergoing heart surgery earlier this year.

The Rolling Stones icon went under the knife in March this year to replace a faulty heart valve, forcing the band to shelve a string of North American tour dates.

With the rescheduled shows now only weeks away, Jagger says the Stones are now in the midst of rehearsals for their return to the stage.

“I’m feeling pretty good,” Jagger told Toronto’s Q107 in his first interview since the surgery.

“Been rehearsing a lot lately in the last few weeks … This morning [I did] a bit of gym. Nothing crazy.

Then I go into rehearsal with the rest of the band.”

As for those rehearsals, Jagger says that the band recently rehearsed the 1976 rarity ‘Memory Motel’, although their upcoming shows are expected to be crowd-pleasing affairs.

he Pacific nation of Samoa has banned the Elton John biopic “Rocketman” because of its depictions of homosexuality.

About 97 percent of people in Samoa identify as Christian, and the society is generally considered conservative and traditional.

Under Samoa’s 2013 Crimes Act, sodomy is deemed an offense that is punishable by up to seven years in prison, even if both parties consent.

Samoa’s principal censor Leiataua Niuapu Faaui told the Samoa Observer on Tuesday that the homosexual activity depicted on screen violated laws and didn’t sit well with the country’s cultural and Christian beliefs. The censor did concede to the newspaper that “It’s a good story, in that it’s about an individual trying to move on in life.”

Apollo Cinemas Samoa wrote on Facebook that “due to censoring issues we have had to cancel ‘Rocketman.’”

The movie examines John’s sexuality and relationship with then-manager John Reid. It stars Taron Egerton who does his own singing as John in the musical fantasy that aims to capture the essence of the musician’s life. A Russian distributor censored scenes from “Rocketman” that featured gay sex and drug use, and John wrote in a joint statement with the filmmakers that it was a “sad reflection of the divided world we still live in and how it can still be so cruelly unaccepting of the love between two people.”

Spain thrash Sweden 3-0 in Euro qualifier Malta on the road. Also in the group are Norway and the Faroe Islands.

The Spaniards had thought that they had gone ahead in the first half after Rodrigo knocked in a cross from Dani Parejo but the score was wrongly ruled out for offside, although had video technology been available - as it is not in the qualifiers - the goal would have counted.

Spain played a fine game, albeit without much sparkle until Oyarzabal stepped up with his fabulous shot just three minutes before the end of regulation time.

Spain’s coach Luis Enrique was not present at the match for personal reasons, but after the match members of the team expressed pride that they had been able to win one for him.

Czechs beat Montenegro 3-0

Spain players celebrate after scoring a goal during their Euro qualifier match against Sweden.

Madrid, Jun 11 (IANS): Spain pounded Sweden 3-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium here, continuing its unerring course toward the 2020 European Cup in a match showing the leadership and efficacy of team captain Sergio Ramos, who got his team on the board first, albeit not until the 64th minute.

On Monday, it was Spain’s fourth win in four matches, and with the victory they are in clear control of their European Cup

qualifying group, reports Efe news.

The Spaniards simply dominated the Swedes all the way through, but really came into their own in the second half on two penalty kicks in the 64th and 85th minutes, whereby Ramos and Alvaro Morata got the team on the board, and an 87th-minute wonderful curving tally into the bottom corner of the net by substitute Mikel Oyarzabal for the final result.

This was Ramos’s

seventh goal in eight internationals, coming after Sweden’s Sebastian Larsson blocked the ball with his arm and on the penalty kick Ramos faked out goaltender Robin Olsen.

Morata’s penalty kick came after he was tripped

by Filip Helander.

The victory put Spain at the top of Group F with 12 points, although despite the loss Sweden are in the second spot, tied with Romania at seven points after the latter’s 4-0 drubbing of

I’m judged differently: Pogba his approach to the sport.

“I always play like that and, thank God, I won the World Cup like that,” Pogba told The Times.

“Body language, haircut, all these things is just to speak. Since I was a kid I play like this. It’s not a problem when we win. Only when we lose or if I have a bad performance it becomes a problem.”

Despite Pogba having scored 13 goals in 35 Premier League appearances for United last season, many have suggested he is a part of a toxic atmosphere in the Old Trafford dressing room, and that the club would be better off parting ways with him this summer.

Pogba believes the then-world record transfer fee of almost £89m that he joined for led to unreasonable expectations.

“I become another player because of the transfer,” Pogba said.

“Because it was the biggest transfer of history at the time, you get judged differently. You expect more because of the price tag. A good game becomes a normal game, a top game will be a good game.”

Czech Republic eased to a 3-0 win over Montenegro helped by an own goal and a penalty in the second half on Monday as they claimed a second consecutive win in Euro 2020 qualifying.

The victory moved the Czechs level on six points with Group A leaders England, who beat them 5-0 at Wembley in their opening match and have a game in hand having played only twice.

Kosovo are third with five points after claiming their first ever win in a qualifier as they fought back to beat Bulgaria 3-2 thanks to an added time goal by substitute Elba Rashani.

The Czechs opened the scoring against Montenegro in the 18th minute when Jakub Jankto slammed a left-foot volley into the net from a tight angle after Pavel Kaderabek sent over a deep cross.

Their lead was doubled just after the break when Boris Kopitovic deflected Patrik Schick’s cross into his own goal after the forward had rounded a defender.

Schick got the third with a penalty in the 82nd which he smashed home after being sent sprawling in the area.

Montenegro — who fired Serbian coach Ljubisa Tumbakovic on Saturday after he pulled out of Friday’s qualifier against Kosovo which they drew 1-1 — have two points.

Serie A clubs oppose Champions League reforms

Milan, Jun 11 (Agencies): Fifteen Serie A clubs have come out against the European Club Association’s controversial plans to reform the Champions League, which are being backed by Italian giants Juventus, according to reports in Italy on Tuesday.

Juventus president Andrea Agnelli, who is also president of the ECA, last week defended plans to reform the Champions League at a UEFA congress as an attempt to save smaller clubs from “the protectionism of the big five leagues”.

A vote was held on Monday by the Italian Football League concerning a joint text opposing the project, Gazzetta Dello Sport reported.

Juventus were alone in opposing the text, while Roma, Inter Milan, AC Milan and Fiorentina, abstained.

The ECA has proposed

a competition made up of 128 teams in three divisions.

The top division would be made up of four groups of eight teams, with the top six in each qualifying for the following edition regardless of where they finish in their domestic leagues.

But the 15 Serie A teams opposing it believe the plans could lead to a decrease of as much as 35 percent in top-flight revenues.

The proposed reforms remain unpopular throughout European football with the Premier League, which had four teams in the finals of the Champions League and Europa League, have unanimously opposed the project.

Seven Spanish clubs, but not Real Madrid nor Barcelona, are also against the plans, along with the Bundesliga clubs, while 17 Ligue 1 sides came out against the project while Paris Saint-Germain, Lyon and Marseille abstained.

Federer’s record is not my obsession: Nadal

Man Utd to make second Wan-Bissaka bid

Paul Pogba

L o n d o n, J u n 1 1 ( Ag e n c i e s ) : M a n chester United midfielder Paul Pogba has dismissed criticism of his body language and haircut after insisting that he is “judged differently” to other footballers.

The 26-year-old has faced criticism for his per-

Paris, Jun 11 (Agencies): Rafael Nadal insists he is not obsessed with beating Roger Federer’s record of 20 Grand Slams, claiming “you can’t be frustrated all the time because your neighbour has a bigger house than you or a bigger TV or better garden”. Nadal swept to an historic 12th Roland Garros title with a 6-3, 5-7, 6-1, 6-1 victory over Austria’s Dominic Thiem on Sunday.

That took him to 18 majors, just two behind Federer. At 33, Nadal is the best part of five years younger than the Swiss veteran but with a career blighted by injuries, he refuses to target the all-time record.

“That’s not the way that I see the life,” said the Spaniard. “It’s a motivation, yes, but it’s not my obsession. It’s not what makes me get up every morning or go and train and play.”

Nadal’s caution is well-founded. By his own estimates, his career-long battles against knee and K Y M C

too much, I was worried about my health. I was down mentally and physically after Indian Wells,” said Nadal.

“I was too negative.

After Madrid and Barcelona, I was thinking about what I needed to do. I could stop for a while and recover or change my attitude and

recover.”

After a loss in the Australian Open final to Novak Djokovic, a second round exit in Acapulco was followed by a withdrawal from the semi-finals in Indian Wells, when a knee injury meant that an eagerly-awaited clash with Federer was shelved.

L o n d o n, J u n 1 1 (Agencies): Manchester United are preparing to make a second improved bid for Crystal Palace right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka after having their initial £40m bid rejected.

Palace rejected the £40m bid at the weekend and are thought to be holding out for nearer £60m for the defender. Talks are ongoing and United have indicated they will make an improved second offer.

The 21-year-old England U21 international has three years left on his current Crystal Palace contract.

Wan-Bissaka made his debut for the Eagles in February 2018 in a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham, he has gone on to play 42 Premier League matches for the south London club, who finished 12th in the Premier League last season. The young rightback would be United’s second signing of the summer transfer window after a £15m (plus £3m add-ons) fee was agreed for Swansea’s Daniel James on June 7.

Dhawan sustains thumb fracture; World Cup future hangs in balance Nottingham, Jun 11 (PTI): In-form senior India opener Shikhar Dhawan was Tuesday ruled out of at least two World Cup matches after his left thumb was found to have a hairline fracture, dealing a major blow to one of the top title contenders at the showpiece.

The team management was tight-lipped on a possible replacement, which may not even be called if the hairline fracture heals within two weeks.

Dhawan will, however, miss the game against New Zealand on Thursday and the marquee clash against Pakistan on Sunday, a BCCI source told PTI. It remains to be seen if he regains fitness for the match against Afghanistan of June 22.

Dhawan was the hero of India’s win over Australia on Sunday with a knock of 117 off 109 balls.

He played through pain after being hit on his left thumb by a rising delivery from pacer Nathan CoulterNile. He didn’t take the field due to the injury during the clash and Ravindra Jadeja fielded in his place for the entire 50 overs. He underwent scans here in which the fracture came to light.

Heavy rain forecast ahead of India, NZ game London, Jun 11 (PTI): Heavy rain threatens to play spoilsport when India face New Zealand in their next World Cup game at Trent Bridge in Nottingham on June 13.

However, as per weather forecast, the rain is likely to subside by lunch time on June 13 which means at least a curtailed game remains a possibility. There has been persistent showers across United Kingdom for the past two days and the local Met department has issued a warning for the residents. “A Yellow Warning for rain is in force in the Nottingham area for most of this week,” local website ‘Nottinghampost’ reported.

The Met office’s warning on its website covered a large area of England, including Birmingham, Peterborough and Newcastle.

“There is a chance that heavy prolonged rain could lead to localised flooding and disruption to transport,” it said. As per local Met Office weather forecast for Nottingham, the heavy rain will continue till 7pm on Wednesday.

Shikhar Dhawan

physio Patrick Farhart, are currently in Leeds for consultation with specialists, an hour’s drive from Manchester.

The team management and the selectors will decide if a replacement needs to be summoned as they are hoping for his complete recovery for the business end of the tournament.

Since India play Afghanistan on June 22 in Southampton, which is six days after the Pakistan game in Manchester on June 16, Dhawan will get at least 11 days time to recover.

Even if Dhawan misses the Afghanistan game, the next match against West

Indies in Manchester is on June 27, which gives him another six days’ time to recover.

The team management is thinking about taking a chance that will allow him to recover for the last two league games (against Bangladesh on July 2 and Sri Lanka on July 6) before gearing for a semi-final where India are certain to feature.

It has been learnt that the tem management is not too keen on a replacement right now unless the doctors rule him out for more than a month.

The Indian team has KL Rahul, a specialist opener who can join Rohit Sharma at the top of the order.

In that case, one among Vijay Shankar or Dinesh Karthik will come in the middle-order for the next two games.

Rishabh Pant and Ambati Rayudu are on BCCI’s official stand-by list but Mumbai batsman Shreyas Iyer’s name is also doing the rounds as he is a specialist No.4 batsman.

The ICC doesn’t have any specific stand-by list as such and anyone could replace a current player based on approval from the event technical committee.

WC bails won’t be changed: ICC

Lo n d o n, J u n 1 1 (Agencies): The bails being used at the Cricket World Cup will not be changed mid-tournament after the ICC insisted their repeated failure to dislodge despite the ball hitting the stumps is a “statistical anomaly”.

A bowler’s delivery has struck the stumps five times in the opening 13 completed games of the tournament, only for the electronic bails to remain in place.

The latest reprieve - for Australia batsman David Warner against India on Sunday - led to both country’s captains expressing their disapproval of bowlers not being rewarded for their work.

“We wouldn’t change anything mid-event as it would compromise the integrity of the event - the equipment is the same for

all 10 teams across all 48 games,” the ICC said on Tuesday.

“The stumps have not changed in the last four years. They have been used in all ICC events since the 2015 Men’s Cricket World Cup and in a range of domestic events. This means they’ve been used in more than 1000 games - this is a statistical anomaly. This issue has always been part of the game, with the accepted concept being that it requires some force to disturb a batsman’s ‘castle’.”

The drama hasn’t been limited to the Cricket World Cup, with another incident occurring during England women’s one-day international against the West Indies on Sunday, as Tammy Beaumont escaped when Afy Fletcher’s delivery firmly struck her off stump.

Japan begin campaign with draw Tokyo 2020 podiums to be made of recycled plastic

Players of Japan and Argentina fight for the ball during their Women’s World Cup match.

Paris, Jun 11 (Agencies): Japan’s quest to reach a third consecutive women’s World Cup final began with a dull goalless draw as Argentina claimed their first-ever point at the tournament on Monday.

Asako Takakura’s Japan, ranked seventh in the world, kept almost two-thirds of ball possession in Paris but struggled to find a way past a disciplined Argentine centre-back pairing of Agustina Barroso and Aldana Cometti.

Japan’s only meaningful chance came just after the interval when forward Kumi Yokoyama’s longrange effort forced goal-

keeper Vanina Correa into her first save, before Yuki Sugasawa blasted the rebound over the bar.

The result ensured Carlos Borrello’s Argentina avoided defeat for the first time in a World Cup match,

Women’s World Cup having lost each of their previous six games in the competition.

They finished bottom of their group on both previous occasions they had reached the World Cup finals in 2003 and 2007, and captain Estefania Banini believes this result can act as a springboard for the rest of

the campaign.

“This point is really important for us. I think we’re able to reflect upon what Argentina is and what it means as a team,” the forward said.

“We had to run all the time, be focused all the time because we were facing a team that - in terms of their gameplay - were superior to us. We believe that we can continue fighting and we can get more points on board, and not go home with just one.”

Japan, who lifted the World Cup in 2011 by defeating the United States, will be disappointed with their sluggish display in

the final third after recording just three attempts on target.

“We don’t set out to be defensive against any team,” coach Takakura said. “But the players were cautious today. Japan meet Scotland in their next match at Rennes on Friday, while Phil Neville’s England take on Argentina in Le Havre on the same day.

Meanwhile, Kadeisha Buchanan scored the lone goal at the end of the first half as Canada held on to defeat Cameroon.

Buchanan charged into the box during and her header bounced in but all eyes were on her team-mate Christine Sinclair, who is four goals away from becoming the sport’s all-time international top scorer.

Sinclair sits at 181 goals, trailing only former USA forward Abby Wambach, who had 184 goals in international competition to set the record among men and women.

The Canadian captain’s free-kick was blocked and cleared away in the 51st minute, and she had another good chance in the closing minutes. She had scored in the opening game of each of her previous four World Cup appearances. Cameroon were a surprise at the 2015 World Cup, advancing out of the group stage before falling to China in the round of 16.

Tokyo, Jun 11 (IANS): The podiums on which winners will stand to receive their medals at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games will be made of recycled plastic, the organizing committee said on Tuesday.

The initiative is a part of the efforts to promote a sustainable econ-

omy during the Games. Per capita consumption of plastics in Japan is the second highest in the world, behind the United States.

The organizers of the Games said that from Thursday onwards, boxes for the collection of plastics will be set up at 2,000 AEON retail chain stores, re-

ports Efe news. The collected material will then be sent to US multi-national Procter & Gamble to be recycled into podiums. The idea is to also use plastic waste found in the oceans. Under the initiative, the organizers are seeking to collect up to 45 tons of plastics for the podiums.

Kohima, Jun 11 (NPN): Forerunners FC Thizama continued their good form in the Seyie Auto Kohima Football League-3 as they defeated Khriekesa FC 6-2 at IG Stadium, Kohima on Tuesday.

Brace from Vekhruto Resu and Razouvito was enough to secure a victory for Forerunners FC and get their second win in the league.

Forerunners FC took an early lead when Sanyem Konyak found the back of

Rain washes out Bangladesh-SL match Bristol, Jun 11 (PTI): Sri Lanka were forced to split points for the second successive time in the ongoing World Cup after their World Cup match against Bangladesh was called off without a ball being bowled due to persistent rain here Tuesday.

Both the teams came into the match with one win from three matches and now each will get a point for the washout.

On Tuesday, both Bangladesh and Sri Lanka were left staring at the sky, waiting for some divine intervention after the start of their key match was delayed due to heavy rains.

The rain eased a couple of times but only to return and thus the inspection was postponed twice.

The groundsmen, meanwhile, tirelessly worked on draining out the water on the covers with the sucking brooms and mops.

At 13:57 local time, the umpires finally decided to officially abandon the match.

Sri Lanka now have four points from as many games, while Bangladesh have three points from four games.

The result will leave Sri Lanka frustrat-

ed as it is the second instant of a wash-out for the Island nation.

After two defeats, Bangladesh too were looking for resurgence against Sri Lanka and now they will be wary of their semifinal chances.

Bangladesh were handed a two-wicket loss by New Zealand followed by a massive a 106-run defeat to hosts England after their 21-run win over South Africa in their World Cup opener.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, suffered a 10-wicket loss to New Zealand in their opening match, before recovering to beat Afghanistan in a rain-shortened game, but the island nation were forced to split points with Pakistan in their last match after the match was called off due to rains.

On Monday, a struggling South Africa had to share points with the West Indies after their World cup match was washed out due to persistent rain at Southampton.

Sri Lanka will next take on defending champions Australia at London on June 15, while Bangladesh will face West Indies on June 17 at Taunton.
