NPF legislators free to form govt.
Correspondent
KOHIMA, JUN 12 (NPN): Leaving little to imagination about the desperate situation facing one of India’s oldest regional party the NPF, its president and veteran regional politician, Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu has unplugged his authority over the NPF Legislature Party (NPF-LP) by giving it a free hand to decide on how to bring about a “change in the government” and also assured the party of his full support. Dr. Shürhozelie said this at the NPF Central Executive Council (CEC) emergency meeting held here on Wednesday, where he admitted that being in the opposition wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea and so left it to his party legislators to decide on being in a government but at the same time, prove their integrity, firmness and commitment towards their people. “The way an opposition member behaves will have long-term effect on his political career,” he remarked. Toning down his earlier vow to not have any truck with either BJP or NDPP, the NPF party president ad-

mitted the despite efforts of the party legislature to form a secular government, the process was not attainable but assured of his party’s support to any arrangement that did not compromise on the regional identity of the NPF. He also left it to the legislature to work out the strategy to bring about the change of government. Meanwhile, the NPF president reiterated his party’s stand seeking integration of “all Naga ancestral Dr. Shürhozelie also reaffirmed to uphold the party principles and policies on integration of all Naga areas under one administrative roof ” as enshrined in the party’s constitution. Dr. Shürhozelie remarked that Nagas wanted an early settlement that was
honourable and inclusive “as piece meal solution will not serve any purpose”. He congratulated Dr Lorho S Pfoze for winning the Outer Manipur Parliamentary constituency seat and thanked all party workers for their support and civil society groups in Manipur that supported NPF. Stating that he was aware of the strengths of different political parties, Dr. Shürhozelie commented that NPF decided not to divide secular votes and make best use of a “bad bargain” by lending unconditional issuebased support to Congress candidate. He alleged that the “negative approach” of Congress leaders also had an impact, though KL Chishi did well.
NH appeals NPGs Centre to give fillip to trade,
DIMAPUR, JUN 12 (NPN): Naga Hoho (NH) on Wednesday said it joins the 10th anniversary of the signing of Covenant of Reconciliation on June 13, 2009 and at the same time acknowledges the struggle of FNR members in particular for leading the Naga people thus far towards the path of peace and reconciliation among the rival groups. “Being minorities in this sub-continent, fear and apprehensions are looming in the minds of Naga people of what destiny holds and therefore, amicable political settlement is the only hope which is possible once we are united and reconciled,” NH stated. NH therefore appealed to all Naga political rival groups to renew their vision and implement the Covenant of Reconciliation in letter and spirit for the common Naga cause.
connectivity with neigbours
GUWAHATI, JUN 12 (AGENCIES): Two weeks after the Prime Minister Narendra Modi assumed office for the second term, the Centre is giving final touches to a host of new initiatives – mini ICPs (Integrated check post), rail-based RoRo service to decongest road traffic in Bangladesh border and bus service between Myanmar and Manipur – to improve connectivity with Eastern neighbours. It was anticipated that the new government will focus its attention on trade and connectivity with BBIN (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India and Nepal) and BIMSTEC nations (Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Nepal and Bhutan). There is now an enhanced focus on coordination between different Departments (Cont’d on p-8) to ensure efficient implementation of projects. While NITI Aayog is DIMAPUR, JUN 12 (NPN): leading on the planning Power department has informed that in view of maintenance work at 66/33KV Tizit Sub-station, power shutdown will be initiated in and around Tizit town from June 13 to 30 (6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on daily basis).

part, the recently formed Logistics Department under the Commerce Ministry is ensuring that different arms of the government do not work in silos. The proposed list for upgrade includes border gates at Nampong (Arunachal Pradesh) and Zokhawthar (Mizoram) with Myanmar. The Zokhawthar border has potential to connect India sponsored Trilateral Highway (from India to Thailand) bypassing Manipur. On Bangladesh border, Mahendraganj (Meghalaya), Sheila Bazar (Meghalaya) and Srimantapur and Raghnabazar in Tripura are proposed to be mini ICPs. While the list will be finalised after a detailed study, the government is looking for a suitable location to open a trade point between Nagaland and Myanmar. Nagaland does not have any trade facility.
On NPF’s stand in Manipur, he explained though BJP snapped off ties with his party in Nagaland, NPF had been lending support to the BJP government in Manipur that was based more on “circumstantial reasons” beyond the jurisdiction of political parties that every sensible person ought to understand. He revealed that NPF had taken a decision to withdraw support to the BJP Government in Manipur in principle on February 8. Though the BJP-NPF tie in Manipur might not have any impact on either party, Liezietsu claimed that NPF did not want to vitiate the atmosphere in any manner in the backdrop of ongoing peace process and signing of the Framework Agreement signed between
Government of India and NSCN (I-M). He alleged that NPF’s political adversaries were deliberately trying their best to provoke it so that the regional party withdrew support to the BJP government in Manipur. He, however, asserted that NPF would not be “pressurised” by such provocations and take a wrong step as “to strive to work for peace and settlement” was the party’s declared policy. Joining party president, NPF-LP leader TR Zeliang also congratulated the newly-elected MP from Outer Manipur and thanked party workers and supporters for electing Lorho. He reminded the audience of chief minister Neiphiu Rio’s statement in April 2018 that integration was not possible. Referring to the resolution adopted in Nagaland Legislative Assembly on CAB, Zeliang alleged that PDA government wanted to oppose CAB but was still under the impression that Nagas were protected under Article 371 (A), even as he stressed that the Article had nothing to do with CAB.

NSF also pressed upon the chief minister to scrap away departmental exams immediately and stressed that all vacancies in Grade III posts that did not fall under the purview of Nagaland Public Service Commission (NPSC) should come under SSB for open competition. The delegation urged Rio to take a cabinet decision in this regard immediately, get a notification to this effect issued and accordingly notified in the official gazette within a period of two months. Rio gave a patient hearing to the delegation and acknowledged that setting up SSB was the need of hour to root out corruption and take forth the culture of meritocracy. He admitted to
certain practical difficulties confronting his government in setting up SSB and its implementation. He, however, assured the team that the matter would be discussed with his cabinet colleagues and fellow legislators and that right steps would be taken up by his government in this regard at the earliest.

Scholarship scam: NLSF appeals Lokayukta to take stern legal action DIMAPUR, JUN 12 (NPN): Providing a shot in the arm to All Nagaland College Students’ Union’s (ANCSU) crusade against alleged misappropriation of students’ scholarship funds, Nagaland Law Students’ Federation (NLSF) has urged Lokayukta to take stern legal action against officials found guilty in the entire episode. In a release, federation’s president C Talimoa Chishi and general secretary Dieku Wetsah demanded that those found involved in the scam must be suspended and prosecuted, “and not just recover the misappropriated amount and close the case”. They warned that if Lokayukta failed to take stern legal action against the corrupt officials, then NLSF would not remain silent and consider that Lokayukta was not meant for people. While expressing happiness that the State government had established the powerful institution of Lokayukta as per section
63 of the Lokpal and Lokayukta Act, 2013 that has a provision for Lokayukta to inquire into allegations of corruption against public functionaries and also to punish them if found involved in corruption, the duo stressed that the sole object of Lokayukta was to remove corruption from the State administration. The NLSF leaders, however, expressed apprehension over the appointment of Upa-Lokayukta, as the Act – section 4 – stipulates that a person who had contested in the recent election cannot hold any other office. They pointed out that the Act states that Lokayukta or Upa-Lokayukta shall not be a i) member of Parliament or member of the State Legislature Assembly and ii) a person who has been removed or dismissed from the service of the Union or a State, and shall not hold any office of trust or profit (other than his office as the Chairperson or a Member) or be affiliated with any political party.

IAF reaches AN-32 crash site in Arunachal Pradesh
Nagaland Post, Dimapur THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 2019
Biplab Deb keen to start IndoBangla waterway project soon
Home Ministry lays down modalities for foreigners’ tribunals in Assam
to reach the crash site. The area has thick vegetation and the tough terrain often prevents the ground search party from advancing,” said a senior official of Shi Yomi district. Although the IAF has spotted the wreckage, nothing is yet clear about the fate of the 13 on board the aircraft when it taken off on June 3 from the Jorhat airbase for Mechuka advanced landing ground in Arunachal Pradesh.
AGARTALA, JUN 12 (PTI): Tripura CM Biplab Kumar Deb is keen to operationalize the Indo-Bangla waterway project at the earliest as it could be a game changer in the states communication system, a senior official said Wednesday. The proposed waterway project will connect Tripuras Gomati river with Meghna river of Bangladesh to get access to Ashuganj port of the neighbouring country. Presently ships and steamers ply from Haldia in West Bengal to Dawodkandi in Bangladesh, which is only 80 km from Tripura’s Sonamura sub-division in Sepahijala district. At a meeting with the planning department on Tuesday, the CM was briefed about the report of the Joint Technical Committees finding on the 15-km inland waterway project, Transport Secretary L Darlong said. The report suggested dredging work on a 15-km stretch to operationalize the proposed waterway. “Of the 15 kilometres, around 13 kilometres need to be dredged on the Bangladesh side and the rest on the Indian part
to allow small-medium sized vessels,” the official said. The report of the Joint Technical Committee was based on the hydrographic study carried out on March 12 and 13, Darlong said. Deb has asked the transport department to hold a meeting with the Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) to give a big push to the ambitious waterway project, he said. The transport secretary said, he will take up the issue with the IWAI to get the project done “as early as possible”. “Since the state has limited resources, we are of the opinion that the Centre must come forward to incur the expenditure to undertake the dredging,” he said. A technical committee of the Ministry of Shipping had visited Srimantapur area of Sepahijala district just before the Lok Sabha elections, to see the ground reality. The state government wants construction of a jetty at Srimantapur Land Customs Station (LCS) to handle business through the proposed waterway project.

Formalities for Imphal-Mandalay bus services at final stages
IMPHAL, JUN 12 (PTI): Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh Tuesday said the formalities for starting a bus service between Imphal and Mandalay, the second largest city of neighbouring Myanmar, are at the final stage. Efforts are also on to extend rail and air link from the north eastern state of Manipur to Myanmar, Singh said at a conference on Act East Policy in which delegates of the neighbouring country were also present. The Act East Policy is “a reflection of commitment to deepen ties with the ASEAN region” and more importantly with Myanmar, he said. On improving connectivity between Manipur capital Imphal and Myanmar, Singh said “Formalities for starting Mandalay-Imphal bus services are at its final stages.” Myanmarese Communication and Transport Minister U Thant Sin Maung had met his Indian counterpart Nitin Gadkari in October last year in New Delhi and discussed Imphal- Mandalay bus service. It was decided that a bus from India will take passengers to Myanmar K Y M C

border where they will be transferred to the bus run by Myanmar operator for travelling further. Likewise, India-bound Myanmar nationals will be transferred to the bus run by an Indian operator. At the conference, the Manipur chief minister said a survey has been made to extend rail link between Imphal to the Indo-Myanmar border town of Moreh as well as with that of the South East Asian nation. “We are also keen for air links (between the two countries) to promote trade, tourism and greater people to people contact,” he said. However, the chief minister said the mechanism for sharing of security-related information needed to be strengthened.
In order to unlock the latent potentials of the state and the region, physical and social infrastructure have to be robust, Singh said. For pilgrims from Buddhist-majority Myanmar, Manipur could also serve as the gateway to Buddhist religious centres of Bodhgaya in Bihar, Tawang in Ar unachal Pradesh and Rumtek in Sikkim, he said. The issue of Medical tourism also came up in the conference. Chief Minister of Myanmar’s Magway region, Aung Moe Nyo, said the Act East Policy can help Myanmarese patients get medicare facilities in hospitals of India. The price of medicare services is reasonable and affordable in India compared to that in Singapore or the USA, Nyo told reporters

GUWAHATI, JUN 12 (PTI): The Home Ministry Tuesday said it has laid down the modalities for foreigners’ tribunals in Assam for deciding appeals made by people not satisfied with the outcome of claims and objections filed against the NRC. In a statement, the ministry said an order was issued recently mandating the foreigners’ tribunals in Assam to deliver verdict of any case related to those people whose names could be excluded from the final list of National Register of Citizens (NRC) within four months. “Since the NRC work is going on only in Assam, therefore, the aforementioned order, issued on May 30, 2019 is applicable only to Assam as on date for all practical purposes,” the statement said.

That, wherever the names "LANUTEMJEN AO", "LANUTEMJEN" and "BARNABA LANUTEMJEN" appears it should be rectified and recorded as "B. LANUTEMJEN" by all concerned for all my official purposes. 5.

eigners (Tribunals) Order, 1964 were undertaken in 2013. The last amendment was issued in May. All these orders are applicable to the whole country and are not specific to any state. “Therefore, there is nothing new in this regard in the latest amendment of May 2019,” the statement said. The May 2019 amendment only lays down the modalities for the tribunals to decide on appeals made by those not satisfied with the outcome of claims and objections filed against the National Register of Citizens. This amendment order also provides for reference by district magistrate or deputy commissioner to
take necessary action to stop payments as per extant procedure. Though none of the officials of the state finance department was ready to comment on the ban, sources said that the overdraft amount of the state government has crossed the permissible limit. RBI might have put up the restriction earlier but there were incidences of the state government withdrawing fund in overdraft with the help of the Centre, the sources said. On one hand, even though the government hid the financial position of the state, it was reflected in the CAG report, it added.On the other hand, economists of the state hinted that RBI ban could only meant financial crisis in the state. If the ban on payments continued with the state government finding means to recover the overdraft, it will affect payment of salaries of its employees.
the tribunal for its opinion as to whether the appellant is a “foreigner” or not within the meaning of the Foreigners Act, 1946. Since the foreigners’ tribunals under this order have been established only in Assam and in no other state of the country, this amendment in effect is going to be relevant only to Assam at present, the statement said. When the draft National Register of Citizens was published on July 30, 2018, there was a huge controversy over the exclusion of 40.7 lakh people from it. The draft NRC included the names of 2.9 crore people out of the total 3.29 crore applications. A person whose name is not part of the National Register of Citizens (NRC), currently being updated in Assam, can approach any such tribunal with a certified copy of the rejection order received from the National Register of Citizens authorities along with the grounds for appeal.
Now after the RBI ban has come into effect, no government bill or CDA passed by the state treasury department would be entertained in the banks and it would definitely affect payment of salaries to government employees. Transactions of GP fund and bill related with contract works will also be affected as no bill of the state government could be realised by the banks at this point.

Amit Shah (File)
New Delhi, Jun 12 (Agencies): BJP chief Amit Shah has called for a meet of the party’s national office bearers tomorrow in Delhi. All BJP state presidents, organisation mantris and state in-charges have been called for the meeting. According to India Today, the objective of the meeting is believed to be the election of new post holders within the BJP. The meeting will be held to start the process of organisational elections which are due soon. More importantly, party members will meet to elect a new BJP president as current president Amit Shah has joined the cabinet as the Union home minister. Amit Shah, whose
three-year term as BJP chief had ended earlier this year, was asked to continue in the position as the party had put on hold organisational elections to focus on Lok Sabha polls. Apart from the elections for the crucial party chief post, BJP members will also be electing new state presidents for Uttar Pradesh and Bihar -- two states the party has shown significant gains in the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections. Along with elections to key posts, the BJP will also be kicking off its membership drive soon. Amit Shah has called a meeting of BJP general secretaries for this purpose on June 18. With the party notching up an unprecedented victory in the general election, bagging 303 seats in the 543-member Lok Sabha, Shah has moved on to preparing the organisation for assembly polls in three states and laying the groundwork for its internal elections.
Union cabinet clears fresh triple talaq bill New Delhi, Jun 12 (Agencies): The Union Cabinet on Wednesday cleared a fresh bill to ban the practice of instant triple talaq, which, once passed by Parliament, will replace an ordinance issued earlier this year. With the dissolution of the 16th Lok Sabha last month, the contentious bill had lapsed as it could not be passed by Parliament and was pending in Rajya Sabha (RS). Bills that are introduced in RS and are pending there do not lapse with the dissolution of Lok Sabha. Bills passed by Lok Sabha and pending in the Rajya Sabha, however, lapse. The new bill will be introduced in the first session of the 17th Lok Sabha beginning June 17, Union minister Prakash Javadekar said in a press briefing. The opposition had been opposing provisions of the bill in Rajya Sabha where the government lacked numbers to ensure its passage.

Digital cash
ith a brute majority of 303 MPs the BJP can go ahead with major decisions as it does not need to plead for support from its allies. With allies, the BJP-led NDA has a huge majority of 358 MPs. There are several major decisions that the NDA under Narendra Modi will be making and among which was the first regarding a push towards a digital economy. On Monday, the Modi government disclosed that it was contemplating on introducing a tax of 3-5 per cent on cash withdrawal of Rs 10 lakh in a year, a move to discourage cash usage in the economy and resultant black money. If the proposal is given the cabinet nod, then withdrawing a cumulative Rs 10 lakh a year can attract 3-5 per cent tax. This will be expected to be reflected in the first budget of the new government to keep track of high value cash deals and make digital payments mandatory. The move is to discourage cash usage and also to check resultant transaction of black money. It was learnt that discussions have been held internally on the fallout of such a move and the tax figure is still being discussed though it won’t be less than 5 per cent though 3-5 per cent is an appropriate figure. Earlier this week, the RBI moved towards clearing the desk by waiving the fee currently imposed on banks for using its NEFT/ RTGS payment servers. The central government also said it was setting up a panel to review charges imposed by banks on ATM withdrawals. According to RBI sources, this was primarily aimed at boosting digital transactions. The move is not new since it the previous UPA government had imposed tax on withdrawals of more than Rs 50,000 from current accounts for detection of unaccounted money in the absence of alternative methods. The limit was sought to be increased to Rs.3 lakh by former finance minister Arun Jaitley in his budget proposals in 2017-18 but it was reverted to Rs.2 lakh and passed through an amendment to the Finance Bill 2017. After the controversial demonetisation in 2016, digital transactions had shown an increase by around 440%. This is not unexpected since the people had no option. The compulsions have translated into diversion from wallet to digital transactions. Reduced cash usage is expected to bring direct as well as indirect benefits. The direct costs of printing, maintaining and transporting currency amount to about 0.2 per cent of GDP and an increase of 5 per cent per year in cashless transactions will save more than Rs. 500 crore annually. Apart from reducing transaction costs (mainly the cost of withdrawing and processing currency notes) between two parties, going cashless is perhaps the most effective way of ensuring that a majority of households use the formal banking channels more effectively. This would promote greater financial transparency and literacy, and enable better targeting of households in welfare programmes with reduced leakage. However, it would be unrealistic to assume that mere ease of use will persuade millions of consumers to abandon cash transactions for online payments. As mobile payments have grown by leaps and bounds in the last five years, so have the instances of cyber-crime. This is a growing threat to digital transactions and the government cannot overlook this aspect if its efforts are to finally achieve the objective.
DailyDevotion Getting There (2) They said to Him, “Rabbi…where are You staying?” He said to them, “Come and see.” —John 1:38-39 Where our self-interest sleeps and the real interest is awakened. “They…remained with Him that day….” That is about all some of us ever do. We stay with Him a short time, only to wake up to our own realities of life. Our self-interest rises up and our abiding with Him is past. Yet there is no circumstance of life in which we cannot abide in Jesus. “You are Simon….You shall be called Cephas” (John 1:42). God writes our new name only on those places in our lives where He has erased our pride, selfsufficiency, and self-interest. Some of us have our new name written only in certain spots, like spiritual measles. And in those areas of our lives we look all right. When we are in our best spiritual mood, you would think we were the highest quality saints. But don’t dare look at us when we are not in that mood. A true disciple is one who has his new name written all over him— self-interest, pride, and self-sufficiency have been completely erased. Pride is the sin of making “self” our god. And some of us today do this, not like the Pharisee, but like the tax collector (see Luke 18:9-14). For you to say, “Oh, I’m no saint,” is acceptable by human standards of pride, but it is unconscious blasphemy against God. You defy God to make you a saint, as if to say, “I am too weak and hopeless and outside the reach of the atonement by the Cross of Christ.” Why aren’t you a saint? It is either that you do not want to be a saint, or that you do not believe that God can make you into one. You say it would be all right if God saved you and took you straight to heaven. That is exactly what He will do! And not only do we make our home with Him, but Jesus said of His Father and Himself, “…We will come to him and make Our home with him” (John 14:23). Put no conditions on your life— let Jesus be everything to you, and He will take you home with Him not only for a day, but for eternity.

Stories, Sorrow, and Strengthening Relationships
he 10-year anniversary of the Covenant of Reconciliation is an important moment for us. It is a moment to celebrate the efforts of a movement that was instrumental in reducing the factional violence and encouraging Naga people to embrace a vision of reconciliation. As I began to reflect on this task – to contribute 1500-word essay – an exhaustion set in. Will I make sense writing about this monumental initiative? Voices of critiques who rejected the idea of Naga reconciliation, underlined the weakness and flaws of members involved in the initiative, their lack of understanding Naga politics, or being blind to tribal and class politics, started to surface in my mind. I began to worry about the language and the purpose of this task and began to fear those who will read this essay and relegate it as a piece of rubbish, and many others who will call me a dreamer. I began to censor my thoughts and set up a theoretical framework that would perhaps privilege my intellectual ability and depart from anything sentimentally Naga or ordinary that we witness every day in Naga society. I almost evacuated my soul from this essay. And then I remembered a story. When I was child my mother told me a Lotha Naga tale called Apfu Le LeLe. In Lotha Apfu means mother and Le LeLe the sound made by villagers to communicate and guide the cattle to the barn at sunset. In my mother’s version the story takes place in a faraway Lotha village. Once upon a time, a happy family – mother, father, daughter, and an infant baby boy – lived together. One day the mother found out that a small pair of antlers were growing on her head. She was turning into a deer. Knowing that her husband would kill her (as was the custom when humans turned into animals in the village), she went away to the jhum field. As days went by, the father grew suspicious. When he arrived at the jhum fields and discovered that his wife had turned into a deer, he began to hunt her down. Rushing to the upper elevations of the field, the daughter waved her scarf shouting, “Apfu Le LeLe” and warned her deer/mother to flee. The father eventually killed
the deer/mother and cooked the meat for the household that evening. When the daughter refuses to eat it, the father is enraged, and she is reprimanded. She has no agency to reject this offering. As a member of the household, she must participate in this activity. Finally, the father summons the daughter and a conversation takes place. Father: Here, take a piece of the heart. Daughter: No. It is my mother’s heart. With this heart she loved me, so I will not eat this piece. Father: Here, take a piece of the thigh. Daughter: No. It is my mother’s thigh. I sat on the thigh and she sang for me, so I will not eat this piece. Father: Here, take a piece of the feet. Daughter: No. It is my mother’s feet. She carried me on her back and walked me to places, so I will not eat the feet. Father: Here, take a piece of the eyes. Daughter: No. It is my mother’s eyes. With these eyes she lovingly looked at me and loved me. Eventually the father forces the daughter to pick a piece of meat, but she throws it away beside a river and the meat becomes a plant.The story has a happy ending though as the mother rolls down a ball of yarn from the clouds and takes away the children.As a child, I teared up every time my mother narrated the conversation between the father and the daughter. I marveled at the speech of the daughter and the strength of the mother’s spirit to stay alive and transform into different elements – from a deer to a plant to a woman floating in the clouds – just to remain connected and communicate with the children who longed for her. As an anthropologist I have narrated this tale in my precious work on pathos and food (Kikon 2018), yet I offer this story again to reflect on something deeper about our society this time. The question is how to think about Naga culture responsibly and interrogating the silences around us. Like many indigenous cultures around the world, we are becoming more vibrant through embracing new ways to express our thoughts, aspirations, and politics. Yet, as we witness the emer-
gence of creative writers, thinkers, artists, and poets who are conscious of their craft and thoughts, we also face the danger of being indifferent to the ongoing transformation around us. We face the risk of delivering an exclusive narrative about Naga society and culture. Indifferent and lacking in solidarity towards our neighbors and communities around us, we begin to design a Naga culture that rejects any kind of change. On one end of the spectrum, it is a colorful shallow culture packaged for consumers seeking a 2-minute indulgence in ‘Naga culture’, nothing deep or intense. And on the other end, it is a festering and sorrowful history we want to leave it behind in the ‘past’. Once an academic in New Delhi told me that she moderated a conversation with ‘smart and articulate’ Naga intellectuals in Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU). She beamed and said, “Young Naga intellectuals said they do not care about the IndoNaga peace process or the Naga reconciliation activities. They said they were fed-up and wanted nothing to do with Naga politics!” I remember this conversation not because it was the first time I had heard about such reactions from smart and articulate Nagas. I remember this moment because of the radiant smile of the face of the academic who narrated this story. Disguised as an assault, that smile sought to render Nagas people as ‘fed up’ with ourselves, our history, and our present state of being. What does it mean to be ‘fed-up’ of the Naga political process or of the Naga people’s attempts for peace and reconciliation? How do we calculate the loss of lives, limbs, souls, and our humanity in the Naga conflict? In how many ways do we mask our sorrows and pains every day as we hear about injustices around us? And what kinds of conversations take place in the widow’s kitchen when politicians build their houses with Italian marble and erect high walls? How do the wealthy bureaucrats cage themselves in their private prisons and kill their soul with lifeless gadgets and material possessions? And what kinds of poetry and politics flows out of the air-conditioned bedrooms of smart, well educated, and articu-
late Nagas living behind the high walls as their nimble fingers tap away on the latest iPhone? The height of the walls and the opulence of the powerful will not measure the achievements of the Naga people. Neither will the rationalization of indifference capture the depth of our wisdom and history. Who will decide what kind of Naga society represents us now and, in the future to come? It is not the power of the mighty who carry guns and zip past as VIPS; it is not the tribal councils who ban writers and excommunicate members of the community; it is not those who legitimate why they assassinated Nagas who spoke up; it is not the blind believers who rejected addicts as members! As we dabble and play with the radiant colors and designs of our shawls and mekhelas, perhaps we can think about the threads that secures the materials and the beads that adorns our tribal bodies. Let us think about our futures wrapped up, entangled, and interconnected in the possibilities of a living culture. A culture where we hear the voices of our mothers and elders from the past whisper the deep wisdom of our people. Let us bow our heads together and seek the signs and secrets about the meaning of life, let us recognize the importance of dialogue and communication. How do we begin to talk about a static and suffocating culture, an oppressive culture soaked in the blood of brothers who turned against one another, families broken by mistrust, and communities without respect and honor for one another? I think about the story of Apfu Le LeLe and the reflections of Naga students in JNU and how, in my generation, we have had to traverse different forms of seeking answers to our rage and sorrow. From the oral world of story telling the textual forms where we tremble with anxiety as we strive and burn our minds to give shape to our thoughts into a language that will frame our being and become the bridge of our imagination and dreams. And just when I am about to convince myself that I have mastered the art of the text and the written form, I am embarrassed because I start failing to capture the tears and the pains
An open letter to Rev. Dr. Wati Aier, Convener, FNR
T
he very thought of the Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) today has overwhelmed me with a profound sense of gratitude to God. Through His infinite grace and wisdom, God has sent the FNR to the rescue of the Nagas. When the Naga National Movement was passing through its darkest phase of history, when factional killings among the Naga Political Groups (NPGs) was the order of the day, when the Naga National movement was facing its greatest threat from within and was on the threshold of self-destruction, God acted through the FNR. And because of the relentless efforts and initiatives of the FNR, Naga National leaders from different groups found a platform to meet without suspicion and threat. It eventually resulted in bringing about the Covenant of Reconciliation (CoR) in 2009 between the NSCN/GPRN, GPRN/NSCN and the NNC/FGN. It is with a mixed feeling of nostalgia, awe and wonder that I recollect this historic event today, realizing how 10 years had quickly elapsed. It seemed only yesterday when we were having our summits in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The memories of our stay at the YMCA Hotel and the food there are still very fresh in my mind. And how can one forget the feeling of euphoria and exhilaration that accompanied the signing of the CoR! It is tragic to think that despite the potentials the CoR has offered us, we failed to keep our commitment because of our own inherent weaknesses and sectarian interests. We have failed to uphold and carry forward the true spirit of reconciliation, the very thing that is required and expected from each one of us. The same happened to the latter agreements like the Naga Concordant and the Lenten Agreement. The euphoric moment was soon accompanied by a sense of betrayal. Instead of taking responsibilities for the failures of the agreements, some of us even felt that the FNR was responsible for the
setbacks thinking that they should have come out with the names of the non-cooperating individuals or groups and confronted them openly. Perhaps, wisdom and good sense prevailed over the judgement of the FNR keeping in mind the things that were at stake then, including the general concerns for the Nagas. Right from its inception through the Divine Revelation to the Naga Shisha Hoho in 2008, the FNR has worked tirelessly and selflessly to bring together all the NPGs on the same page. Umpteen numbers of discussions with various leaders were planned and organized by them. All this led to the many Summit -Talks in Chiang Mai, and finally to the Highest Level Leaders Meeting which culminated in the signing of the historic Covenant of Reconciliation on 13th June 2009 by Isak Chishi Swu, SS Khaplang and Brig. (Retd) S. Singnya, wherein the Naga leaders committed before God to offer themselves to the Naga Reconciliation based on the Historical and Political Rights of the Nagas. The relative peace in Nagaland and the ability of the Naga National workers, like me to move freely, for instance, or to be able to reside under one roof with our family members, are the fruits of the CoR that we all are enjoying today. Of the three Naga Political Groups, the NNC/FGN due to the fact of being the weakest and most vulnerable in terms of its organizational power had the maximum privilege of being in the company of the FNR. Personally, I have shared many memorable occasions with them. I believe that the FNR was able to achieve many milestones through God’s providence and guidance. Mention must be made of amazing personalities who have steered the functioning of the FNR: Rev. Dr. Wati Aier, the Convener who is composed in any situation, approachable and down to earth, always full of enthusiasm and whose presence gives the impression that all problems can be solved; Rev. Dr. V. K.
Nuh who provided the fatherly figure, solid and stable whose presence was able to generate trust and confidence amongst us; Rev. Dr. Zelhou Keyho who played the role of Chaplain and whose sermons has the ability to inspire and touch every heart; Dr. Akum Longchari, Mr. Neingulo Krome, Dr. N. Venuh, Mrs. Khesheli Chishi, Mrs. Grace Shatsang, Rev. Dr. Phughoto Aye, Rev. Puduhu Khusoh, Pastor Vezokho Vero, Pastor Vezalhu, Somipam Lungleng, Nepuni Piku and many other leaders. The CoR was a commendable achievement of the FNR, the selfless and tireless effort of its members who made numerous sacrifices, forgetting their own personal comforts, not putting into accounts their material expenditures and placing Reconciliation above everything else made it a reality. As we retrospect on this noble achievement of the FNR, I wish to put on record the indebtedness of all the Nagas to all those who played significant roles in bringing about the CoR: the active contributions and commitment of all the members of the FNR; the commitment to peace and love of humanity of the Quaker, the American Baptists and the Baptist Peace Fellowship of North America; the Naga Civil Societies, the Churches and the prayer groups; the support and timely help of Mr. Neiphiu Rio, the Chief Minister of Nagaland. Nagas are also indebted to the three signatories of the CoR, two of who are unfortunately no more with us today namely, late Isak Chishi Swu and late SS Khaplang, and Brig. (Retd) S. Singnya and the contributions of visionary leaders like uncle Th. Muivah and Mr. Kitovi Zhimomi whose concern for the Naga Nation and consent enabled the signing of the CoR. I pray that God will continue bless and empower the FNR to overcome many more hurdles that lie ahead and to create more milestones to celebrate as Naga people. Zhopra Vero, Kedallo, NNC/FGN

of little children already exposed to violence and poverty. The aspirations and fears of our youth who become migrants in faraway lands, the beautiful daughters of subsistence jhum cultivators who sell their souls to feed their belly, and the artless lies from the lips of the powerful that we have conditioned our souls to digest. At such moments, I close my eyes and reach out to the stories of my elders that I inherited from my mother and I offer it to the smart and articulate students who will write and shape our future. As I feel their pain and the frustration and fumble to find a form to account for this moment, not all is lost. Once again, there is hope. We still have the power to listen to stories; stories about one another and about our past and present. Stories about our differences and our similarities, stories about how our laughter merges as it echoes down the valley, stories about our forebearers, stories about our dreams to reconcile and heal together.

Scholarship
any a time our State, Nagaland experienced protest/strike in different forms of demand. When there is a protest there must be a genuine reason. Just recently Naga students had hunger strike in the capital city for not releasing their scholarship. Everything has its own time to take place. When the students move out for their rights instead of positive response the Govt. deployed police force and harassed them. This is quite wrong from the govt. side. Because the protest was cent percent right as it was for scholarship money belonging to them. Everyone of us must be alert in order to avoid accidents. What the Scripture said; We are told to pray for the Rulers, Leaders Nations of this world. So we do (I tim 2:2). In another Scripture said; “When the
righteous are in authority people rejoice. But when a wicked man rules people groan (Pro 29:2)”. My question is, why are there strikes/protests in our land every now and then? It is very clear that as long as there is corruption our state will always be in unrest. Teachers salaries too: Ver y frequently certain teachers’ salaries especially Hindi/Adhoc/Work Charge etc. are not given their due share. Everybody needs to get his/her wages for their labor. Let us draw more attention regarding these issues and wake up the concerned authorities to do their job. When there is no Justice people strike. Prevention is better than Cure. In order to, avert strike/protest, let justice prevail. N. Tsuzu, Senior Citizen, Chumukedima

Sir,
Construction of the four lanes highway
The lone Four Lanes Highway between Dimapur and Kohima which is under construction cutting across the foot of Mountain is a matter of adventurous developmental work in implementing the commitment of late Atal Bihari the former Prime Minister of India. It is the pride of the country in carrying out the commitment of a Prime Minister of the country about a decade ago and the Govt. Of India is expected to see that any commitment of the re-elected P.M. made in the Indo Naga political talk is no longer allowed to be a failure but is a success in days to come. Rev. L.

yond the duo of absconding diamantaires Nirav D. Modi and Mehul C. Choksi - whose scams worth around Rs 14,000-crore first brought the PNB imbroglio into the limelight in early 2018. Also figuring in the list is another high-profile absconder, Vijay Mallya, who owes Rs 597.4 crore on the defunct Kingfisher Airlines account. The other defaulters include Kudos Chemie Ltd., Chandigarh (Rs 1,301.8 crore), Winsome Diamonds & Jewellery Ltd. Surat (Rs 899.7 crore), Jas Infrastructure & Power Ltd., Kolkata (Rs 410.9 crore), Zoom Developers Pvt. Ltd. Mumbai/
Indore (Rs 410.1 crore). A few defaulters like Kingfisher Airlines, Winsome Diamonds & Jewellery Ltd, Kudos Chemie Ltd. and Zoom Developers Pvt. Ltd. are currently being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). When contacted by IANS, PNB officials declined to comment on the list of defaulters. Recently, the PNB has initiated proceedings to recover around USD 13 million from the Tarapur Textile Park Ltd., Palghar (Maharashtra), which availed the loans from PNB’s London branch. According to official

sources, now the PNB is planning to hand over the case to both CBI and the Serious Frauds Investigation Office (SFIO) and invoke the guarantees provided by TTPL’s Chairman Arunkmar Muchhala, and the directors Ritika Muchhala and Trinkal Muchhala. With reference to this instance, the buzz in banking circles is - how companies registered in India availed massive loans from PNB’s foreign branches, and similarly, how companies registered on foreign shores were granted loans from the bank’s Indian branches, without the connivance of certain officials.

(From p-1) With the exception of people who were born post cease-fire period, NH said: “Nagas have witnessed horrific killings among different Naga political rival groups (factions) alongside the bloody war between the Indian occupational forces and Naga Armies which was a harrowing nightmare and a memory never to be forgotten.” In such an unprecedented situation ten years back, NH said the Naga civil societies unanimously resolved to form a body called Forum for Naga Reconciliation with a view to strive for unity and reconciliation among different Naga political groups. Under their efforts, the fratricidal killings could come to an end in the best interest of entire Naga people, it added.

He said if an officebearer or an MLA though that the opposition had no role to play, then he or she must understand that even while in opposition, if a person had the will to work, then he or she could perform better than the ruling party legislators. Swu underlined that to bring about a change in the government, there had to be a genuine reason and the party must stand united, adding the current government was facing many issues. Speaking on the occasion, Lorho thanked the party and all his supporters for electing him as the MP and sought cooperation and guidance from the seniors as he was a newcomer. He assured to continue working to strengthen the party and work vigorously for an early solution to the Naga political issue and the Naga nation.

Indian among 26 injured in Saudi airport attack
At least 26 civilians have been injured in a missile attack by Yemen’s rebel Houthi movement on an airport in south-western Saudi Arabia, state media say.
Dubai, Jun 12 (PTI): An Indian woman was among 26 civilians injured in a missile attack carried out by Yemeni rebels on Abha international airport in southwestern Saudi Arabia on Wednesday, a media report said. The attack came a day after Riyadh said it intercepted two drones fired by the Houthi rebels, which controls a large part of Yemen, including the capital Sanaa. The missile strike on the Abha airport took place in the early hours of Wednesday, the Arab News reported. The attack resulted in the injury of 26 civilians of different nationalities,
the report said, adding that the wounded included one Indian woman and two Saudi children. Eighteen of those injured were admitted to hospital for treatment of minor injuries and at least six have been discharged. Airport operations and air traffic also resumed after being disrupted for few hours. Claiming full responsibility for the attack, the rebels through an announcement on a Houthi-affiliated television channel said a cruise missile was used to carry out the attack. The Saudi-led coalition intervened in Yemen in March 2015 to push back
an advance by the Houthis and to restore to power President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi. Since then, the conflict has killed tens of thousands of people, many of them civilians, pushing the Arab world’s poorest country to the brink of famine. The coalition members include the UAE, Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Sudan, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Djibouti. The UN describes the Yemen conflict as the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, with 24.1 million -- more than two-thirds of the population -- in need of aid. Meanwhile, the Yemeni government, which the Houthis drove from Sanaa in 2014, said only military action will end the group’s “terrorism”, the report said. The UAE condemned the attack, saying it was proof of the Houthi’s aggression and its determination to undermine regional security. Bahrain’s Foreign Minister Khalid bin Ahmed Al-Khalifa said the attack “is an act of terrorism”. Palestine, Jordan, Kuwait, Egypt and Djibouti also condemned the missile attack.
Melbourne to launch Uber Air pilot program that in 2030 the figure will go up to AU$30 billion. “In the long term, the vision is for safe, quiet electric vehicles transporting tens of thousands of people across cities for the same price as an UberX trip over the same distance,” Uber’s statement said.
Sydney, Jun 12 (IANS): Australias Melbourne city will be the first in the world outside of the US to launch Uber Airs aerial ride-sharing pilot program, the company said on Wednesday. “Test flights (are) due to start from 2020 and plans for commercial operations (will) commence from 2023,” Uber announced in a statement, reported Efe news. Dallas and Los Angeles in the US are the other two pilot cities. More than 3.8 million Australians use the ride-sharing service, which entered the market in 2012, Regional General Manager for Uber in Australia,
New Zealand and North Asia, Susan Anderson, said on Tuesday at a company meeting in Washington. “Australian governments have adopted a forward-looking approach to ride-sharing and future transport technology,” said Anderson. “This, coupled with Melbourne’s unique demographic and geospatial factors, and culture of innovation and technology, makes Melbourne the perfect third launch city for Uber Air,” she added. Uber reported that traffic congestion costs Australia AU$16.5 billion (US$11.47 billion) each year and it is anticipated
Boris launches leadership bid, says UK must leave EU on Oct. 31 Lo n d o n, J u n 1 2 (IANS): Former British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson on Wednesday said that the UK must leave the European Union on October 31 as he launched his bid to replace outgoing Prime Minister Theresa May as leader of the Conservatives. “After three years and two missed deadlines, we must leave the EU on October 31,” Johnson told a crowded room in the London borough of Westminster. The leadership contender said he would not be aiming to pull the UK out of the bloc without a deal, though acknowledged that such a scenario could not be ruled out, Efe news reported. Johnson, the former Mayor of London who went on to serve as Foreign Secretary in May’s Cabinet and subsequently resigned from that role, said the population felt “disillusion or even despair” when it came to the government’s ability to get K
Y M C
the UK out of Europe. He said that the public would be relieved after Brexit as it would allow the country to focus on other pressing issues. Johnson said the government was stuck at a crossroads, warning there was a risk that the population would lose confidence in politicians if the situation carried on as it was. For Johnson, a new setback for Brexit would be the opposition Labour Party of Jeremy Corbyn getting into government. The former London Mayor drew on his experience in that post, saying he had got the capital through riots, strikes as well as overseeing the Olympics in 2012. He now seeks to replicate what he did for London across the whole country, he said. According to Johnson, the country needs to be united and it needs better infrastructure, including faster broadband and more metro networks.
Trump, Polish President to talk on security: White House Washington, Jun 12 (IANS): US President Donald Trump will meet with his Polish counterpart Andrzej Duda on Wednesday to highlight the deepening of the military-to-military relationship between the two sides, the White House has said. Warsaw confirmed on Monday that negotiations on a political agreement between Poland and the US on increasing US military presence in Poland have been concluded. It’s been reported that the number of US troops in Poland is expected to increase to 6,000 from current up to 4,500, reported Xinhua news agency. Regarding the possible troop increase, a senior White House official told reporters at a background call that “a significant announcement” will be made on Wednesday and the decision will help enhance “the defense and deterrence posture in Europe.” Duda’s visit comes about one month after Trump’s meeting at the White House with Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban in May, which the anonymous official described as “part of a pattern of high-level engagement that the President (Trump) has undertaken this year with leaders from Central Europe.” Also on Tuesday, US Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan held talks with his Polish counterpart Mariusz Blaszczak at the Pentagon, with the two eyeing enhancing bilateral defense ties, said the US Defense Department. The US is considering permanently stationing troops in Poland. Currently, US troops have a rotational presence in the country. Poland, a NATO member, has repeatedly required permanent presence of US troops on its territory. Moscow has voiced concern about Warsaw’s intention, saying NATO’s expansion towards Russia’s borders would destabilize Europe.

London, Jun 12 (IANS): Consumption-based emissions from nearly 100 of the world’s big cities already represent 10 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions, a new study said on Wednesday. Without urgent action, those emissions will nearly double by 2050. The study by C40 Cities revealed an incredible opportunity for cities and their citizens to contribute even more to the global effort to cut emissions and address the climate emergency. The research tiled ‘The future of urban consumption in a 1.5 degrees Celsius world’ was produced in partnership with Arup - The University of Leeds, and cautioned that urban consumption-based emissions must be cut by at least 50 per cent by 2030 in order to maintain the possibility of keeping global temperature rise below 1.5
degrees. When combined with firm city efforts to reduce local emissions, this would allow cities to deliver 35 per cent of the emission savings needed to put them on a path to 1.5 degrees Celsius. High income areas, which generate the bulk of emissions, need to cut their emissions much faster -- two-thirds by 2030. Fortunately, the research finds that if nations, business, cities and citizens take ambitious climate action over the next 10 years, cities will be on track to reduce their emissions in line with a 1.5 degrees Celsius world. “Stopping the climate crisis requires keeping global temperature rise to below 1.5 degrees Celsius above
pre-industrial levels. Transforming the global economy to deliver on that goal will require action on a scale never seen before in peacetime,” said Mark Watts, Executive Director of C40 Cities. “This is a wake-up call for all leaders, business, and citizens to consider both the local and global climate impact of the things they consume, and an opportunity to better engage citizens and businesses in solving the climate emergency.a The report explores six sectors where leaders, businesses, and citizens in the world’s cities can take rapid action to address consumptionbased emissions: food, construction, clothing, vehicles, aviation, and electronics.

Artsy_Naga organizes art exhibition in Dimapur DPS wins 5th inter-school music fest 2019
A
rtsy Naga, together with its IT partners, CONCLAVE, organized its first ever art exhibition based on the theme "Redefining” at Hotel Lake Shilloi on June 12. SDO (Civil), Kikato Chishi, graced the occasion as the guest of honour, where he acknowledged Artsy Naga and Conclave for boldly organizing such remarkable event that would greatly benefit the artist community and further promote growth of art in Nagaland. He was later presented with an artwork created by Buddhi Thapa, an internationally renowned artist. Buddhi Thappa, in his speech, also acknowledged Artsy Naga for organizing the event and hoped that the event would serve good purpose in show casting the talents of the upcoming Naga artists in Nagaland. In a short interview with the renowned artist, he stated that currently there more than 40 upcoming artists in the state, while

22 are already in the professional level. He further appealed state government and NGO’s to open a permanent art gallery for the artists in Nagagalnd to show cast their talents and display their art works. He viewed that there are many more young and talented artists in the state itself who can easily come under professional level, however, with lack of opportunity and platforms they are unable to show cast their talents. Founder, Artsy Naga, Tunavi Achumi, also spoke about how he decided to
take up art as a profession and the struggles he went through in choosing his fields. Vote of thanks was delivered by member of CONCLAVE, Toka Kits, who expressed heartfelt gratitude to their sponsors, DMC, Chabou & Co., WJ Decors, event host, Hotel Lake Shilloi, media partner, Nagaland Post and printing partner, KT Printing Press. The exhibition will run for 4 days, from June 12 to 15 and will be open from 10 AM to 8 PM. Artsy Naga is curating for 15 select prominent artists from
Nagaland. Artworks and Sculptures of varying genres and mediums are on display with costs varying from Rs. 3000 to 7, 00,000. The organizers and partners also extend cordial invitation to all art lovers and enthusiasts to come and visit the exhibition. The event began with an invocation by Pastor Ahoto Chophi of Ikishe Baptist Church SPEECH by Tunavi Achumi (Founder, Artsy Naga) Four years ago, I got into the field of art as a
profession. Back then, I wanted to be an Animation Designer and I thought I'd do my best to get into some flourishing industries abroad. But as years passed by, we all reach a certain period which we call growing up. Then I began to question myself if I am really willing to stay away from my home state. I wanted a sense of belonging - as the saying goes "Home is where the heart is." And so it didn't take long to make up my mind and fly back home. * Coming back home and seeing no scope for artists like us. * The idea of promoting Naga artists - a common platform Artsy Naga. * Magnum Opus IV successfully organized. * Today's exhibition different genres, mediums allowing the artists to freely express themselves through art and not setting limitations. * By doing so, it is going to bring a positive change in the society.

Lublin/ SEOUL, Jun 12 (Agencies): South Korea created history on Tuesday when they defeated Ecuador 1-0 to reach the final of the FIFA U-20 World Cup for the first time in history. The South Koreans will make their first-ever final appearance in the U-20 World Cup after a Choi Jum goal helped them overcome the South American side in a neck-and-neck battle at the Arena Lublin
in Poland. Jun scored the winning goal in the 39th minute of the game as he curled the ball into the goal at the end of a move that was orchestrated by Valencia CF starlet Lee Kang-in. The Koreans will take on Ukraine in a clash of first-time finalists on Saturday while Ecuador will play Italy in the third place match. Ukraine had earlier defeated Italy 1-0 through a goal from Serhii Buletsa.
There was a stroke of fortune for the South Koreans in the game as the winning goal came just moments after Ecuador attacker Leonardo Campano had hit the woodwork with an effort while goalkeeper Lee Gwan-yeon made a spectacular save to deny Campano from a header towards the dying minutes of the game. In the final of the U-20 World Cup to be held on June 15 at the Stadion
Widzewa in Lodz, Korea Republic youngsters will now face Ukraine who defeated Italy 1-0 in the other semifinal. After a goalless first half, Serhii Buletsa scored the only goal of the game in the 65th minute when he turned in a cross from Yukhym Konoplia to send Ukraine through to their first final in the U-20 World Cup meaning that we will have new U-20 world champion come June 15.
According to Reutres, Asian football chief Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa said on Wednesday that South Korea’s run to the final of the Under 20 World Cup was “remarkable” and reflects the rising standards across the continent. South Korea reached their first men’s final of any FIFA competition after Choi Jun’s first-half goal saw them beat Ecuador in Lublin, Poland. The Koreans have had an incredible ride to the final, beating sixtimes champions Argentina in the group stage before going on to eliminate Japan, Senegal and Ecuador. “Their achievements so far have been remarkable, and I hope they carry on this form and go on to win the competition,” said the Bahraini in an AFC statement. The Koreans were not even expected to make it out of the group stage and a 1-0 defeat to Portugal in their opener suggested they would be heading for an early exit. But a 1-0 win over South Africa and a stunning 2-1 victory over Argentina saw them advance. Coach Chung Jung-yong said South Korean youth football was on the right track.
M a d r i d, J u n 1 2 (IANS): Belgium, Germany, Italy and Northern Ireland all won their respective matches to stay perfect in the Euro 2020 qualifiers, while World Cup champions France regained their form after an unexpected loss to Turkey. In Mainz, Marco Reus and Serge Gnabry each had a brace as Germany romped 8-0 against Estonia on Tuesday. Leon Goretzka, Ilkay Gundogan, Timo Werner and Leroy Sane scored the other goals for Die Mannschaft, reports Efe news. Their third victory in as many matches lifted Germany to nine points, three behind Northern Ireland, who won 1-0 away to Belarus on Tuesday to retain the top spot in Group C thanks to a goal in the 86th minute by Patrick McNair. Romelu Lukaku scored twice and Kevin de Bruyne added a third goal to power Belgium over Scotland 3-0 in Brussels, leaving the Red Devils atop Group I with 12 points. Second place belongs to Russia, who defeated Cyprus 1-0 on a goal by Aleksey Ionov, while Kazakhstan routed San Marino 4-0 to climb into the third spot with 6 points and

a better goal difference than Scotland. France, getting goals from Kylian Mbappe, Wissam Ben Yedder, Florian Thauvin and Kurt Zouma, cruised 4-0 against Andorra and reclaimed first place in Group H. Les Bleus have nine points, the same as secondplace Turkey and Iceland in third, but enjoy an edge on goals. The Turks, meanwhile, missed a chance to surge ahead of France, losing 2-1 to the Icelanders. Albania blanked Moldova 2-0 in the other Group H contest. Italy conceded a goal to Edin Dzeko in the 30th minute to fall behind 1-0 against Bosnia and Herzegovina in Turin, but Lorenzo Insigne equalized for the hosts at the start of the second half and Marco Verratti got the winner
with four minutes left in regulation. With 12 points, Italy lead Group J by three points over Finland, who bested Liechtenstein 2-0 on Tuesday. Armenia are third in the group after beating Greece 3-2 in Athens. In Group E, Hungary held Wales 1-0 to move into first place with 9 points, though Slovakia and Croatia - both with 6 points - each have a game in hand. The Welsh, who have only three points from three matches, face an uphill battle to qualify. Marek Hamsik had two goals for the Slovaks in a 5-1 away triumph over Azerbaijan. Stanislav Lobotka, Juraj Kucka and David Hancko also scored for the visitors.

New Delhi, Jun 12 (IANS): 1983 World Cup winning India captain Kapil Dev has said that he sees Virat Kohli and boys as favourites in their upcoming 2019 World Cup clash against Pakistan. “We have started very well by winning the first two matches comfortably,” said Kapil on Wednesday. “Hopefully Kapil Dev the team continues playing in this manner and the problems.” India’s match weather doesn’t cause any against Pakistan is sched-
uled to be played on June 16 before which India play New Zealand on Thursday. The Virat Kohli-led team has played South Africa and Australia thus far and won both matches. “I hope the team plays to the best of its abilities. India will certainly win the match because they
are playing better at the moment. “In my time Pakistan used to be favourites whenever we played them. Today it is India who are the better team -- we are above them in the rankings and are playing better cricket,” the 60-yearold said. Kapil also said that he
would have liked to see Yuvraj Singh play one last time in Indian colours. 37-yearold Yuvraj, who was Man of the Tournament when India won the 2011 World Cup, announced his retirement from international cricket and Indian Premier League on Monday.

Madrid, Jun 12 (IANS): India’s junior men’s hockey team lost a hard fought game 2-3 to the Netherlands in their group stage encounter at the 8-Nations U-21 Invitational campaign on Tuesday. In a cagey first quarter, Netherlands snatched the initiative early with Jim van de Venne scoring in the 5th minute. Despite the early setback, India did not drop their game plan and were constantly on the attack looking for an equaliser. The teams went into the break separated by the single goal. The game took off in the second quarter, with both teams attacking with vigour and their defensive qualities being pushed to the brink. Vishnukant Singh scored the equaliser in the 23rd minute at the end of a brilliant move. Within three minutes though, the Netherlands restored their lead with van de Venne converting a penalty corner to get his second goal. The teams went into half-time with Netherlands leading 2-1. The play started from where it left off, and Derck de Vilder’s goal in the 32nd minute extended Netherlands’ lead and gave them a two-goal cushion. India, though, did not let their shoulders drop and their play yielded results soon. Koen Bijen picked up a green card in the 36th minute, leaving the Netherlands a player short on the field, and India capitalised on the advantage almost immediately. Sudeep Chirmako capped off a superb move to reduce the deficit to one goal in the 37th minute. They attacked with gusto but the Dutch defence stood strong and took home the victory.

Aus overcome Pak scare after Warner ton
David Warner celebrates his century against Pakistan at the County Ground Taunton, England, Wednesday. (AP/PTI)
Tau n to n, J u n 1 2 (PTI): David Warner was not his usual destructive self but effective nevertheless, his first international century since completing the ball-tampering ban setting up Australia’s 41-run win over Pakistan in the World Cup here Wednesday. Australia looked set for a total in excess of 350 while Warner and captain Aaron Finch (82) were at the crease, but Mohammad Amir (5/30) staged a grand comeback with his
best ODI bowling figures to bowl their opponents out for 307. Pakistan’s innings ended at 266 in 45.4 overs overs but not before the duo of Sarfaraz Ahmed and Wahab Riaz gave the Australians a scare with a rearguard action that revived their hopes for a while. Pakistan were at one stage tottering at 160 for six in the 30th over. Riaz smashed 45 off 39 balls with two fours and three sixes, while Sarfaraz
made 40 off 48. The side’s top-scorer though was opener Imam-ul-Haq (53), Mohammad Hafeez contributed 46 while Hasan Ali blazed away to 32 off only 15 balls before Mitchell Starc closed out the game at the death. Earlier, sent into bat after the coin landed in Pakistan skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed’s favour, Australia were off to a steady start with Warner and Finch helping them to 50 in 10 overs. Amir started with a
maiden and going with only four mainline bowlers, Australia knew they needed to score big to put Pakistan under pressure. The Aussies broke free against Shaheen Afridi, with Finch hitting him over the deep square leg fence for a six and Warner employing the pull shot to get a four. As Australia looked for quick runs, Amir showed his class by bowling another maiden over. Apart from the singles and twos, both managed to find the ropes occasionally, before Finch carted Mohammad Hafeez for 16 runs with the help of a six and two boundaries. After a stand that yielded 146 runs in 22.1 overs, Amir provided Pakistan the much-needed breakthrough when he had Finch hitting one high up in the air towards extra cover. War ner hit Hasan Ali for two consecutive fours, and then, there was a classy cover drive by Steve Smith. A couple of quiet overs was followed by a productive one from Australia’s point of view, with Warner smashing Shoaib Malik for a six over long-on and a four to pick 15 runs. Sitting pretty at 189 for two in the 29th over,
Smith tried to up the ante but in doing so, ended up giving a catch to Asif Ali, who had dropped a sitter in the slips earlier at The Cooper Associates County Ground. Glenn Maxwell struck 20 in 10 balls even as Warner reached the three-figure mark when an edge flew between the keeper and the wide slip for a four. He got out shortly after celebrating his century with gusto. The show, then, belonged to Amir. However, Amir’s effort was not enough as Pakistan suffered their second defeat of the showpiece. Opener Imam-ul-Haq made 53 off 75 balls and steadied the innings with a 54-run second-wicket with Babar Azam (28) after the early dismissal of Fakhar Zaman. For Australia, Pat Cummins was the most successful bowler with figures of 3/33 while there two wickets apiece for Mitchell Starc and Kane Richardson.
Brief scores Australia 307 in 49 overs (David Warner 107, Aaron Finch 82; Mohammad Amir 5/30) against Pakistan 266 in 45.4 overs (Imam-ul-Haq 53, Mohammad Hafeez 46; Pat Cummins 3/33)

US thrash Thailand 13-0 in Women’s World Cup
Reims (France), Jun 12 (AFP): Alex Morgan scored five goals as defending champions the United States opened the Women’s World Cup with a record-breaking 13-0 rout of Thailand on Tuesday night. Samantha Mewis and Rose Lavelle each added a pair of goals for the United States, who broke the record for goals and margin of victory in a World Cup game. Lindsey Horan, Megan Rapinoe, Mallor y Pugh and Carli Lloyd also scored. The previous record margin was German’s 11-0 victory over Argentina in 2007. Morgan tied Michelle Akers’ record for World Cup goals, set in the quarter-finals against Chinese Taipei in 1991. The two teams were the last to kickoff in the group stage for the tournament. Ranked No. 1 in the world, the USA had lost only one match in their previous 38, a loss to France in Le Havre in January. They had mustered six straight wins going into the World Cup. The last time the USA played on the world’s biggest stage, Lloyd had a hat-
India aim to avenge warm-up loss against Kiwis Nottingham, Jun 12 (IANS): India and New Zealand, the only two unbeaten sides in the ongoing World Cup so far, will look to dominate each other and prove a point when they meet on Thursday at Trent Bridge in Nottingham.The Black Caps have been absolutely ruthless in the three games they have played so far in the tournament. After defeating Sri Lanka by 10 wickets in their tournament opener, the Kiwis didn’t put their foot off the peddle and registered comprehensive victories against Bangladesh and Afghanistan in their next fixture. On the other hand, India have also played like tournament favourites and have
registered reaffirming wins over South Africa and Australia. However, they would be wary off the fact that they had to be at their absolute best against Kane Williamson’s side which defeated them
quite convincingly in the warm-up fixture. In that warm-up game, the Indian batsmen seemed to have no clue against the pace and swing from Trent Boult and other Kiwi pacers and were bundled out for mere 179 which the Black Caps chased down with ease at the Kennington Oval in London. As Shikhar Dhawan is out for the game, the Men in Blue will hope that K.L. Rahul -- who in all likelihood, will open the innings alongside Rohit Sharma - gives them a solid start and lay the foundation for the upcoming batsmen to score big and go full throttle against the New Zealand bowlers. Also, it will be interesting to see whom they include in place of
Dhawan. Either they can include Dinesh Karthik to strengthen their batting or they can go with either Ravindra Jadeja or Vijay Shanker who give them a bowling option too. However, one thing which both teams would be looking at is the weather in Nottingham. The weather forecast is not good for Thursday and there are high chances that rain may play spoilsport in the game. The pitch at Trent Bridge is easily one of the best batting wickets in the country but the overcast conditions would definitely assist the fast bowlers. So, far the two teams have met seven times in all World Cup editions and New Zealand hold an edge of 4-3 against
India. Thus, Virat Kohli would be looking to better that record. Squads: India: Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, M.S. Dhoni, Dinesh Karthik, K.L. Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Vijay Shanker, Ravindra Jadeja, Kedar Jadhav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammad Shami, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah New Zealand: Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor, Trent Boult, Martin Guptill, Colin de Grandhomme, Colin Munro, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Tom Bundell, Tom Latham, Henry Nicholls, Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi

trick in the first 16 minutes and the United States beat Japan 5-2 in Canada for the trophy. The USA pounced early against Thailand, too, with Morgan’s header in the 13th minute off Kelley O’Hara’s precisely placed cross opening the scoring. Mewis, Lavelle and Horan were all making their World Cup debuts. Thailand, ranked No. 34 in the world, were clearly outmatched even though the team has shown progress on the world stage. At the final whistle, Lloyd and Christian Press were seen consoling the
Thailand goalkeeper. Morgan put her arm around an opponent, who was wiping away tears on the pitch moments after the final whistle. The World Cup comes at a time that female players across the globe are seeking better treatment and pay. The U.S. national team has long championed equal rights, and players collectively filed a lawsuit earlier this year that alleges discrimination by the U.S. Soccer Federation and are seeking pay equitable with that of the men’s national team.
