The agency’s investigation revealed that institutions like Lovely Professional University and Karnataka University established centres in different states, including Himachal Pradesh, where documents of SC/ST and BPL students were collected but admissions not granted. Later, with the connivance of officials of the Education Department and banks, fake bank accounts were opened on the basis of genuine documents(and addresses) secured by the centres. For instance, almost 250 students of village Dehri in Himachal’s Kangra district had applied at these centres, which took the documents of these students but did not give them admission. Subsequently, a large number of fake accounts were opened in the
State Bank of India and the Allahabad Bank on basis of documents submitted by the students and the bank officials did not verify the account holders, facilitating the scamsters’ siphoning off the scholarship money. Last month, the CBI conducted raids at multiple locations in northern India in the Rs 250 crore scholarship scam related to pre- and postmatric scholarship scheme. The CBI sleuths carried out the raids at 22 educational institutes across Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh and Haryana. Besides the CBI, police in Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh are also investigating scams related to scholarships where officials of the Education Department and private institutions have been found to be hand in glove.

NEW DELHI, JUN 15 (IANS): Initial investigation by the CBI into the multi-crore scholarship scam reveals a deep-rooted nexus between government officials, private institutions and public sector banks to siphon-off funds meant for poorest of the poor students. Students belonging to Scheduled Castes and Minorities were also deprived of scholarships to pursue basic education. Sources in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) revealed to IANS that the scam in the scholarship fund meant for children from below poverty line (BPL) families was spread across Himachal Pradesh, Haryana and Punjab.

GANDACHERA, JUN 15 (AGENCIES): Suspected supporters of Indigenous People’s Front of Tripura (IPFT) attacked the house of BJP parliamentarian Rebati Mohan Tripura on Friday night at Durgapur under Gandachera subdivision in Dhalai district of Tripura, reports Northeast Now news. However, at the time of the attack, the Tripura East Lok Sabha MP was not at his house as he had left for Agartala to catch a flight for Delhi on Saturday, said sources. “The attackers burned down one bike, damaged a car and pelted bricks at the MP’s house, which is located near the border outpost of the 71 Battalion of BSF,” sources said. The IPFT is the partner in the coalition government of Tripura led by the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP). However, both the parties fought the recentlyconcluded Lok Sabha polls
separately. According to eyewitnesses, the attackers also opened three rounds of fire from country-made gun and raised Twipraland slogan allegedly in front of police. “The attack may be a repercussion following the victory rally that took place yesterday which was participated by the MP along with hundreds of BJP supporters,” sources added. One of the eyewitness, Jubarai Tripura, who is also the brother of the MP, alleged, “The attackers earlier opened three rounds of fire from a country-made gun and the incident took place in front of police.” He said, “If the MP is not safe, what would be condition of the common people.” Meanwhile, the situation has become tense as BJP supporters have gathered there with rods, sticks and other things to retaliate the attack by suspected IPFT supporters.

violence on Dr. Mukherjee
Correspondent
SHILLONG, JUN 15: Medical doctors in Meghalaya on Saturday strongly condemned the “barbaric acts of violence” on Dr P Mukherjee, NRSMCH, Kolkata who was performing his duty as an intern. Resident Doctors Association of North East Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences and Medical Staff of Nazareth Hospital urged the government to take stringent steps to ensure the rule of law and safety of its citizens. “This inhuman and insane act of violence is not justifiable in any way. We are shocked and enraged at the indifference and failure of the government of West Bengal to protect the doctor community working there,” NRDA President, Dr Syn-
rang Batngen Warjri said. Warjri said NRDA will join the all India strike that is being called by the Indian Medical Association on June 17. Expressing their sense of humiliation and outrage at the frequent incidents of assault on Medical professionals, Nazareth Hospital Chief Medical Officer Gordon Rangad said, “Unfortunately, this trend is increasing all over India with the feeling that if a patient dies, it is the doctor’s fault, and causing physical harm as well as damage to property is quite unacceptable.” Rangad however said that medical practitioners in Meghalaya are blessed in many ways because of the restraint and understanding which we have always found in Shillong as well as in the state in general.

IMPHAL, Jun 15: Opposition Congress in Manipur said it smelt something fishy behind the chief minister’s decision to constitute a committee to examine withdrawal of huge amount by public works and power departments during the period between March and May this year when the Model Code Conduct was in force. They felt the move of the chief minister was to evade responsibility of the grim financial situation of the government. MPCC president, Gaikhangam asked how huge amounts of government funds can be withdrawn without the knowledge of the chief minister. There was standing instruction that chief minister’s approval must be obtained if a department has to sanction fund above Rs two crore. Soon after portfolios of power and works were divested from him, minister Th Bishwajit denied the allegations of withdrawals of huge amounts by the two departments when Model Code of Conduct was in force, a charge levelled on him by the chief minister. Deputy chief minister, Y Joykumar also denied charges levelled against the finance department even as the finance portfolio was taken away from him. Addressing a news conference at his official quarter in Imphal, MPCC president Gaikhangam said that if the chief minister was sincere enough to a fair enquiry into the matter, he must constitute a high level inquiry committee to be headed by not less than a retired chief justice. He added that the chief minister had ordered for nothing but to escape from the responsibility of the overdraft the
bank accounts stating that the government account has overdrawn in excess. The state is currently facing an overdraft of Rs 274.46 crore. He said the parties in power had utilised funds in the elections and demanded that Election Commission of India declares null and void the parliamentary elections in Manipur. Fresh poll should be ordered in the two parliamentary constituencies in the Manipur as there was concrete evidence that the parties in power had violated the Model Code of Conduct during the recently concluded Lok Sabha election, he said. He alleged that the ruling party had utilized the huge amounts of government funds allegedly withdrawn during the election. “It is not me or Congress but the government that said that huge amount of fund has been withdrawn by PWD and power departments when the MCC was in force. The government has even set up enquiry for that”, Gaikhangam said, adding that it was upto the ECI to conduct fresh poll in the state. On the political crisis in the BJP-led coalition government, the MPCC president said that it was their family matters and observed that it should be resolved as soon as possible in the interest of the people. As the crisis broke out at the beginning of the fiscal years and developmental works were to be taken up in full-swing, it will be bring nothing but hamper the developmental pace, he said. He added that developmental pace can only be accelerated when there was a stable government.

‘Enact law to protect medical professionals from violence’ NEW DELHI, JUN 15 (PTI): Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan Saturday asked states to consider enacting specific legislation for protecting doctors and medical professionals from any form of violence in the wake of the recent assault on doctors in West Bengal. Along with a letter to all chief ministers, he also attached a copy of the Draft Act provided by IMA --the Protection of Medical Service Persons and Medical Service Institutions (Prevention of Violence and Damage or Loss of Property) Act, 2017. He drew the attention of all states and UTs for strict action against any person who assaults doctors. The move comes after the Indian Medical Association (IMA) launched a four-day nationwide protest from Friday and wrote to Union Home Minister
Harsh Vardhan (File)
Amit Shah demanding enactment of a central law to check violence against healthcare workers in hospitals. The apex doctors body has called for a nationwide strike on June 17 with withdrawal of nonessential health services. Expressing deep concern over the recent act of violence against doctors, Vardhan stated that incidents of assault on doctors are reported from different parts of the country and this leads to sudden strike by doctors, gravely affecting the healthcare services.
“Resident doctors in many parts of the country are agitating and not providing healthcare services. Agitations by doctors in West Bengal seem to be getting aggravated and taking shape of strike by both government and private sector doctors, all over the country,” he said in his letter. Representatives from the IMA and Delhi Medical Association (DMA) also called on Vardhan Saturday. Stressing further on the need for avoiding such incidents in future, Vardhan said that law enforcement should prevail so that doctors and clinical establishments discharge their duties and professional pursuit without fear of any violence. “Strict action against any person who assaults them, must be ensured by the law enforcement agencies,” he emphasised.
Mamata accepts doctors’ demands; Centre seeks report NEW DELHI, JUN 15 (AGENCEIS): The West Bengal gover nment on Saturday accepted all the demands of the agitating doctors and requested them to rejoin services as the stir entered its fifth day. Calling the assault on a junior doctor at a Kolkata hospital an “unfortunate incident”, chief minister Mamata Banerjee said that her government is committed towards resuming normal services in the state at the earliest. “We never arrested a single person. We will not take any police action. Health services cannot continue like this. I am not going to take any stringent action. Let good sense prevail,” she said at a press conference today. Doctors to continue agitation: The doctors, however, turned down Mamata’s appeal and said they will continue their agitation in the state, adding that the chief minister did not take any honest initiative to address their concerns. “We are eagerly wait-
ing to rejoin our duty, but from the chief minister’s side there is no honest initiative to find a solution (of the ongoing problem),” a spokesperson of the joint forum of junior doctors told reporters. Centre seeks report on violence: Union Home ministry has sought a report from the West Bengal government on the strike by the doctors. In an advisory, the MHA said it has received a number of representations from doctors, healthcare professionals and medical associations from different parts of the country for their safety and security in view of the ongoing strike by doctors in West Bengal. Health minister writes to states over security of doctors: In view of the assault on doctors in West Bengal, Union health minister Harsh Vardhan wrote to the chief ministers of all states and Union Territories (UTs), urging them to take strict action against any person who assaults medical practitioners.

To fathers
ather’s Day is all about veneration, commemoration and celebration that takes place on the third Sunday of the month of June each year. The third Sunday of June was declared as Father’s Day and a national holiday in 1966 by the president of the USA Lyndon Baines Johnson. It followed after Mother’s Day was declared a national holiday in 1920, which was initiated by Sonora Smart Dodd. Father’s day is a reminder about God’s commandment to His people (Exodus 20:12). The day is also an occasion for fathers to be reminded of their role in the family. The reason God gave the commandment was because He ordained the institution of family of His own creation. Honouring fathers is thus a commandment that comes with either blessing or cursing. According to the Bible, when a child honours the parents, it invokes God’s blessing which bring good health and long life. Honour is obeying the teachings of fathers in doing what is good in God’s sight. The bible therefore promises children that honouring fathers and mothers brings good health and long life. Also in Proverbs 23:24, the father of a righteous child has great joy; a man who fathers a wise son or daughter rejoices in him. There is also a great difference between good fathers and godly fathers. A good father is kind and compassionate and helpful. However, a good father who does not teach his children about godly values. A godly father is kind, compassionate and helpful but above all, he shows his children the way to godliness. This is a crucial aspect of ensuring that children are not led astray by vain philosophies that ensnare the souls. On the other hand, a godly father is not only compassionate but is also concerned with the souls of his children. Modern dads have a closer bond with their children than they had with their own fathers, according to new research. A study discovered more than six out of ten dads believe they enjoy a better, more supportive and hands-on relationship with their children than they experienced. Studies have shown that, when fathers are godly, affectionate and helpful, their children are more likely to get on well with their brothers and sisters. Modern psychologists only confirm what God had in mind for a vibrant and healthy family that contributes to a peaceful environment. Often the biblical teaching on the father as the head of the wife has been misinterpreted to mean male dominance. This is not the truth; for the Bible clearly says that a husband must love his wife as he loves himself. They are equal partners in the God ordained marriage. A father is like a pilot and the mother, a co-pilot and each needs to complement the other to make their family’s journey safe and secure. Today psychologists have come to agree that fathers play a unique and crucial role in nurturing and guiding children’s development. In essence, it is in keeping the commitment towards responsible parenthood where the man leads and includes his wife in keeping their priorities right in God’s sight, fulfil their duties towards God, themselves, their families and human society. Today, the term fatherhood is used interchangeably with the term ‘fathering’ which includes, beyond the procreative act itself, all the child rearing roles, activities, duties, and responsibilities that fathers are expected to perform and fulfil.
DailyDevotion Get Moving! (2) Also…add to your faith… —2 Peter 1:5 In the matter of drudgery. Peter said in this passage that we have become “partakers of the divine nature” and that we should now be “giving all diligence,” concentrating on forming godly habits (2 Peter 1:4-5). We are to “add” to our lives all that character means. No one is born either naturally or supernaturally with character; it must be developed. Nor are we born with habits— we have to form godly habits on the basis of the new life God has placed within us. We are not meant to be seen as God’s perfect, bright-shining examples, but to be seen as the everyday essence of ordinary life exhibiting the miracle of His grace. Drudgery is the test of genuine character. The greatest hindrance in our spiritual life is that we will only look for big things to do. Yet, “Jesus…took a towel and…began to wash the disciples’ feet…” (John 13:3-5). We all have those times when there are no flashes of light and no apparent thrill to life, where we experience nothing but the daily routine with its common everyday tasks. The routine of life is actually God’s way of saving us between our times of great inspiration which come from Him. Don’t always expect God to give you His thrilling moments, but learn to live in those common times of the drudgery of life by the power of God. It is difficult for us to do the “adding” that Peter mentioned here. We say we do not expect God to take us to heaven on flowery beds of ease, and yet we act as if we do! I must realize that my obedience even in the smallest detail of life has all of the omnipotent power of the grace of God behind it. If I will do my duty, not for duty’s sake but because I believe God is engineering my circumstances, then at the very point of my obedience all of the magnificent grace of God is mine through the glorious atonement by the Cross of Christ.

Post-mortem
God at-the-Wheel in the Journey of Common Hope
P
rologue: Over two decades ago, someone from an international community at Baguio City, Philippines commented: “Nagas have Christ in their heart, politics in their blood.” That was a pleasant voice! I was glad Nagas are known to people across the globe. While there could be people who are totally ignorant about the Nagas in relation to our identity, culture, and land, the world today, by and large, knows that Nagas belong to a free nation. “The assertion that Nagas are free people and Naga territory remains Independent is an incontrovertible fact of history and an accepted reality” (Naga Chronicles, p. 553). Even those who deny it with their lips are bound to believe it in their heart. And we, Nagas, must be thoroughly convinced that we are free in spirit even in the political chain of bondage. Therefore, no true Naga can neither tolerate the betrayal of the Nagas by the British nor accept the forced occupation in Naga-lands and dominion by the Indians. This historical fact gives the Nagas indisputable right to fight for sovereignty from the hands of their oppressors. However, history tells us that, Nagas have been working hard for a common cause without working together. Insincerity on the part of India is ridiculously obvious. Nevertheless, we have also become a stumbling block to our own genuine aspirations. Human frailties such as, ideological differences, leadership crisis, love for position, power struggle,
and materialism have overshadowed our common goal as a nation. It is disheartening to recollect our past memories when there was rampant homicide among the Naga brethren ever since crisis erupted and disintegrated the national workers. The saddest part was that, lives were eliminated in the name of Naga sovereignty under the banner of “Nagaland for Christ!” If a Kingdom is Divided: On one occasion, Jesus exposed the bad theology and faulty logic of the religious leaders who thought power struggle could bring victory. Jesus emphatically stated: “If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand” (Mark 3:24). At one point of time, “Naga society was torn apart with ‘interfactional’ violence, suspicion, distrust, and divisive political rhetoric” (FNR document, “Naga Reconciliation – A Public Statement,” p.1). That was when the Nagas became so divided! Over-ambitiousness for the ‘kingdom’ that was presumed to be at hand turned many into “fighting for the ‘head’ before the ‘wild boar’ is hunted down.” Fighting for supremacy seldom yields positive result in the real sense when it come to common cause, but united a nation can stand, indeed! Factional conflict reached its peak in the late nineties, but thanks be to God; He intervened and brought about Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) as His instrument of reconciliation and peace. FNR was born as a divine gift from the Lord to the Nagas beyond borders.
Unity without God is Vanity: The Babel Tower narrative tells us that, unity without God is vanity. The descendants of Noah living in the area of Mesopotamia called Shinar in Babylon decided to build a tall, proud symbol of how great they had made their nation. The Babylonians wanted a tower that would “reach to the heavens” so that they could be like God and that they would not need Him. They began to construct a great ziggurat. They were thoroughly united in all aspects, but their endeavor turned out to be a total failure because there was no God in their unity. The tower was named ‘The Tower of Babel’ because the word Babel means confusion. This story is a powerful reminder of how important it is to obey God’s Word and to not think that we can build a successful but godless life on our own! (Genesis 11) Several peace initiatives were conducted by the churches, organizations, and concerned individuals so as to bring the warring brothers and sisters together for reconciliation even prior to the birth of FNR. Perhaps, attempts were sincere, efforts were sacrificial, and the goal was ideal; however, God was misplaced! Going by the cliché, “God helps those who help themselves,” but God also helps those who cannot help themselves, provided his intervention is sought. At times, human’s best efforts become futile because men and women have limited potential on certain complex issues. Reconciliation among
various groups of Naga national workers was no exception. Yes, sometimes, God is in the team but he is given a back seat. Only if God is at-the-wheel, the riders experience a smooth ride. God Took the Wheel: The FNR was formed on 24 February 2008 as one of the outcomes of the Naga Peace Convention organized by Naga Shisha Hoho in Dimapur. The initial revelation of God through his servant Mr. Chosai for the formation of Naga Shisha Hoho came in the year 1991. The work of God through Naga Shisha Hoho gained its ground among the Nagas after its Third Gathering in Kohima in the month of Febraury 1994 (Thoputso, Chairman of Naga Shisha Hoho, 2018). The literal translation of Shisha Hoho is “Doing in Obedience,” which may be more appropriately stated as “Obedience in Action” or “Acts of Obedience.” This time, God took the wheel, and FNR was christened on 25 March 2008 at Kohima with the support of 39 Naga frontal organizations and churches (FNR Reflection on the Public Interactions, p. 1). FNR may not be directly reckoned as the offspring of Naga Shisha Hoho; nonetheless, God has used the latter to manifest his will towards the reconciliation endeavor among the Nagas through the former. Therefore, from the inception of FNR, it is observed that God is being given the rightful place in the undertakings of FNR and God has done marvel-
ous things thus far! God does not do the work of men and women what they’re expected to do, he does what men and women cannot do. What was next to impossible in the past became “impossible possibility” by the power of God. FNR has achieved much because God has acted. Out of significant Reconciliation Agreements among the Naga National Groups, Covenant of Reconciliation signed on 13 June 2009, A Public Affirmation singed on 28 September 2009, Joint Appeal signed on 10 March 2010, Statement signed on 22 August 2011, Meeting of Naga Leaders on 24-25 August 2011, Naga Concordant signed on 26 August 2011, and Lenten Agreement signed on 28 March 2014 are worth mentioning (Naga Reconciliation—A Public Statement, pp.3-4). When God takes the wheel, progress is always evident and significant! Epilogue: In the words of Gerald Brooks, “Each of us must decide whether we will live down to our problems or up to our Godgiven potential. The reality is, most people’s problems aren’t really big; rather, most people make God out to be too small” (Big Problems, Bigger God). One of the very natures of God is that, He is a reconciling God. Therefore those who claim to be His people are bound to reconcile with one another, but true reconciliation will come when we first reconcile ourselves with God, for if we are not right with God nothing can be right no matter how seemingly good our relationship with
one another may appear to be. Hence, the NPGs in particular and the Nagas in general must revisit the Word of God in 2 Chronicles 7:14, which says: “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” And, yes, obey all that God has commanded. When a nation reconciles with God, God Himself reconciles His people into one family under His household. The Assyrians of Nineveh were typical example of how reconciling with God restored the people into a forgiven people (Jonah 3:10). God must be honored. Hatred and division must become a thing of the past; reconciliation and unity must become our unflinching slogan both in words and deeds. Continuing the Journey of Common Hope, not by might or by the wisdom of men and women alone, but led by the Spirit of God will take FNR a long way. If Nagas must see a breakthrough in Naga Reconciliation to facilitate and usher in Naga Sovereignty, God must be at-the-wheel!

Happy Father’s Day Daddy I miss you
Daddy you were my first love, My Hero sent from God above. I love you! for your my star, But now it pains to worship you from afar. It’s been really long, Yet can’t believe Daddy your gone. It broke my heart to lose you, For you were my Man so true. I think of you each day, And special memories come my way. For your story is the greatest ever told, As you were a man heart of gold. That’s why I miss you Dad, When I remember the times we had. Your death has left a heartache no one can heal, But your love has left memories no one can steal. Now your love is my guide, For I know your always by my side. Don’t worry Daddy someday once more We will meet in heaven’s shore. Then hand in hand we will be, Just you and me...... Chokpa Bhutia

The Cup of Life
he Fatherly figure that Almighty God holds in our Christian faith is best understood with the relationship we can have with our own earthly father. Some would opt for a Spiritual father. He had sacrificed everything for us to make who we are today, and still more. He provided for our need from clothing to food to love, and everything else. God did give up His only son that we may have everlasting life and what more could someone; a dear Father does than that! But there were some moments in our life when we, siblings of seven were unable to comprehend such kind of Love from a drunkard father. At those cr ucial hour of such pains and rejections, love grew cold towards one another with everyday tussles, creating a huge hole in every of our hearts. Our identity crisis began to take its toll as a broken family was on the making. But it was amazing to know the grace of God through the changeover that from holding the cup of a rice-beer, my dad today seeks tea. He encountered Jesus Christ all over again and that is when the head of the family holding the neck and body parts came to a perfect stature. Today as sons and daughter, on Father’s Day if we had a realisation that when a father in the Love of Christ
T
is within, we have nothing to lack of. The few additions of in-laws, nephew and nieces added up to my Father’s generation and they brought in their own blessings as well but the legacy of God’s encounter into the family will always be retold as it was where our lives really began and nobody ever going to change that! A ray of hope is now in a change of heart of the head that can always bring us to a new being at the same time, ask God for their long live and intercession for the lags to lead them to Christ. A good friend of mine lost his dad just recently and it was difficult to find words to condole in a way. But to realise that dying in the Lord (Hebrews 4:10) is more a merrier news than the obituary. It was not how we have first started well but to finish it well. And therefore the race of Faith continues to go on with ordeals and with a praying father/parents we can boldly hold our ground. To the Children and Fathers/parents: Obey your parents in the Lord for this is right. Honour your father and mother which is the first commandment with promise….and Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in training and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6: 1-4). Happy Father’s Day to all fathers. Baby Liezietsu, Kohima
Thank you Lord!
hank you Lord for blessing me with an amazing Daddy. For all the Daddies we wish you all a very happy Father’s day, it is our unending love that we your children and family are celebrating a Happy awesome Father’s day. If everyone of us could make something beautiful on this special day by saying the line to our own Daddies “Daddy you are the best and I love you Daddy.” It’s all because of you that we are here today. You never show your struggles and pains to make us happy. You’re always an amazing superman to save us from our trouble. Today is the day to shout out to all fathers around the world and say’ “Daddy!! You’re the best and our superheros.” Love you all and a very happy Father’s day to all the Heros. Jesus loves.

News in Brief
awareness prog
DIMAPUR: Road safety awareness programme under the theme, “Safe riding: My responsibility” in collaboration with Nagaland Motorcycle Club (NMC) was organised by Young Indians (YI) of Unity College, Dimapur (UCD) at the college lawn on June 15. A press release from UCD computer operator-cum-office assistant, Temjen Imsong stated that, Nagaland Motorcycle Club exhorted the students to be responsible riders by using helmets and possessing proper riding gears, using the headlight and signal light for the right purpose at the right time. While stating that simple etiquettes like waving a hand or nodding of head as an acknowledgement to passerby could make a difference, the Nagaland Motorcycle Club also encouraged students to develop a habit of safe riding, respect the road and to be conscious of other fellow riders. Nagaland Motorcycle Club added that safe riding was their responsibility because there was always someone who would be waiting for them at home.
DIMAPUR: NPGN/NNC while reacting to impeachment of Hozheto Chophy by NPGN/NNC (N/A) under the leadership of T Ovung, published on June 15, termed the act as “ridiculous” and “false”. In a press release, NPGN/NNC MIP clarified that T. Ovung was nominated by the cabinet as acting president owing to vacant post at the demise of president, Lt. Temjenyanger Aier on December 23, 2016. MIP accused Ovung for creating “countless obstacles” and “blunders” for the government during his tenure as acting president. It said Ovung also failed
to make positive contribution in NNPGs while ato kilonser, Z. Hozheto Chophi, rendered his service to the government, NNPGs and reached out to various tribal hohos and frontal organisations. In event of his failure, MIP said National Council of Tatar Hoho was convened on May 31, 2019 where the house resolved to relieve T. Ovung from the post of acting president and unanimously elected Shoba Lakhum as the interim president. NPGN/NNC MIP said T Ovung was then appointed as advisor to collec-
tive leadership, however, regretted that the latter chose to impose President Rule. MIP said imposing PR beyond Ovung’s capacity as acting president as he was unanimously impeached by council of kilonsers. NPGN/NNC has also
warned T Ovung not to manipulate the innocent people or misguide the Nagas through his ignorant act. It has also appealed Nagas in general to decide who is working for the betterment of the Naga political issue.

full month earlier this year” scientist Peter Langen said in a statement released by Polar Portal. This year’s start of April 30 is second only to 2016, when a very unusual weather pattern caused a very early start to the melt season in mid-April. Number three on the list is May 2, 2010 when a similar weather pattern also caused early melt onset closely followed by May 7 in 2017. The top four have all occurred within the last 10 years. One reason why melting has spiked this year is that Greenland experienced a dry and cold winter. “Through most of the winter, the majority of the ice sheet has been unusually dry, which sets it up for enhanced melting - if the right weather conditions occur - in the summer this year” scientist Ruth Mottram was quoted as saying. The Polar Portal is a collaboration between DMI, Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) and Technical University of Denmark (DTU) under the Danish Ministry for Energy, Utilities and Climate.
Talks with India on the basis of equality: Qureshi
S M Qureshi (File)
Bishkek, Jun 15 (IANS): Pakistan wants talks with India on the “basis of equality” and in a “dignified manner” and has said it’s up to New Delhi to decide whether it wants to engage with Islamabad to reconcile issues. Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said this while confirming the exchange of pleasantries between Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan and his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi here on Friday on the sidelines of the 19th Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit. “Yes, the meeting did take place. There was a handshake and exchange of pleasantries,” Qureshi told Geo News in Kyrgyzstan’s capital. He, however, accused the Indian government of still “being in the election
mindset”. “Pakistan has said what it has to. India has not come out of its election mindset and the extreme position they had taken to influence their constituency and to keep their vote bank intact. It’s still confined in that,” said Qureshi. “India has to make this decision. We are neither in haste, nor troubled. When India prepares itself, it would find us prepared. But we will hold talks on the basis of equality, in a dignified manner,” Qureshi said. Stating that neither we (Pakistan) need to run after anyone, nor to demonstrate stubbornness, he said, “Pakistan’s approach is realistic and well thoughtout.” Tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad escalated after the February Pulwama terror attack, claimed by the Pakistanbased Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), in which 40 CRPF personnel were killed. The exchange of pleasantries between Khan and Modi was the first such event between the two Prime Ministers amidst the chill in bilateral relations. It has come after Khan and Qureshi wrote letters to Modi seeking revival of talks.

Iconic Notre Dame to hold first mass since devastating fire
Paris, Jun 15 (IANS): Two months after being devastated in a blaze, the Notre Dame cathedral will hold its first mass Saturday, which will be officiated by the Archbishop of Paris with a small number in attendance. The mass will be held at 6 p.m. in the chapel of the Virgin Mary, behind the choir. It will be attended by only 30 people -- half of them clergymen -- all in protective helmets, including Monsignor Michel Aupetit, who will officiate a symbolic mass to denote that Notre Dame is “still alive”, the cathedral rector Patrick Chauvet said. The event - broadcast by Catholic television KTO - will be attended by a team working on the restoration of the building owing to the precariousness of the situation, the ambassador in charge of the international mobilization for Notre Dame de Paris, Stanislas de Laboulaye, told Spanish media. There will be cleaning works of the cathedral and surrounding neighbourhood due to contamination by lead that covered the roof and needle of Viollet-le-Duc which melted in the 800 degrees flames, whose origin is still unknown.

New York, Jun 15 (IANS): In a sign that this year could once again set records for loss in Greenland ice, researchers have found that the island’s ice sheet lost more than two gigatonnes (a gigaton is equal to one billion tonnes) of ice in just a day this week due to a widespread melting event. “Yesterday (13th June), we calculate #Greenland #icesheet lost more than 2 Gt of ice, melt was widespread but didn’t quite get to #SummitCamp which was just below 0 degree C. The high melt is unusual so early in the season but not unprecedented,” said the Greenland Twitter handle of the Arctic monitoring web-site Polar Portal of the Danish Arctic research institutions. The researchers found
that the Greenland melt event was due to an atmospheric circulation in the Arctic and North Atlantic. The sudden spike in melting on June 13 this year is comparable to some spikes seen seven years ago, Thomas Mote, a research scientist at the University of Georgia who studies Greenland’s climate, told CNN. Melt off early in the season makes it easier for further ice loss later in the season, the researcher said. The Greenland melt season started very early this season - on April 30, which is the second earliest in a record that stretches back to 1980, according to scientists from the Danish Meteorological Institute. “On average, the melt season starts around the 26th May, so we are almost a

In 1991, there were no women in the Swiss government and there was no statutory maternity leave. Since then, there have been eight female government ministers and the right to maternity leave is part of the law. The organizers said in their manifesto, “We want to promote Gender Equity and women’s rights.” “We want a society based on equality and solidarity, without discrimination, without sexism and violence against women, regardless of the colour of our skin, our culture, our origin or religion, our passport, our sexual and gender identity, our age or social status.” Several government members have also been active, including Interior Minister Alain Berset, who released a silent video to highlight the problems faced by women in Switzerland, Swissinfo reported.

Unlike ‘Starman’, however, the Rogozin replica returned to the Earth and landed an estimated 2,000 kilometres away from its launch site after about 16 hours of flight, the report said.

executed just days after Rogozin said he would not hire Musk to get help with reusable rocketry. While Rogozin has not met Musk as yet, he frequently reacts publicly to the

Uni t e d Nat i o ns, Jun 15 (IANS): UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for an independent investigation into this week’s attacks on two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman. “It is very important to know the truth, and it is very important that responsibilities are clarified,” Xinhua quoted the UN chief as saying to reporters at the UN headquarters in New York on Friday. He noted “that can only be done if there is some independent entity that verifies those facts.” “Whatever happens in the international community, we will be supportive of any initiative in this regard, provided it is truly independent,” the UN chief said when answering a question regarding the attacks and their investigation. Guterres further added that “the world cannot afford a major confrontation in the Gulf.” Earlier Thursday, two oil tankers were hit in the Gulf of Oman. At least one of them was operated by a Japanese company. The attacks came amid Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s visit to Iran, who was seeking to help ease tensions between Iran and the US. In May, four commercial vessels reportedly suffered similar sabotage off the coast of the United Arab Emirates.
Geneva, Jun 15 (IANS): Thousands of women across Switzerland took to streets in protests demanding equal treatment and conditions compared with their male counterparts.

Preserved Bronze Age farm dubbed the ‘Pompeii of the Fens’
Archaeologists work on a scaffold platform assembled An archaeologist holding a piece of timber from one above Must Farm’s ‘structure 1’ of the houses.
A
n ‘extraordinarily we l l - p r e s e r ve d ’ Bronze Age farm found in Britain only operated for a year before being destroyed by a ‘catastrophic’ fire and buried in silt. The Must Farm site in Cambridgeshire drew worldwide attention in 2016 when it was hailed as ‘Britain’s Pompeii’ or the ‘Pompeii of the Fens’. Now archaeologists from Cambridge University’s Archaeological Unit have come up with a definitive timeline for Must Farm’s occupation and destruction. ‘It is likely that the
settlement existed for only one year prior to its destruction in a catastrophic fire,’ said site director Mark Knight. ‘The short history of Must Farm, combined with the excellent preservation of the settlement, means that we have an unparalleled opportunity to explore the daily life of its inhabitants.’ He said Must Farm is located within the silts of a slow-flowing freshwater river, with stilted structures built to elevate the living quarters above the water. The ancient channel dated from 1,700 BC to 100 BC and was active
for centuries prior to the construction of Must Farm around 1,100–800 BC. ‘Although excavation of the river sediments associated with the causeway was limited, stratigraphically we can demonstrate that the causeway and the settlement are chronologically unconnected,’ Mr Knight said. ‘The people who built the settlement, however, would have been able to see the rotting tops of the causeway piles during the time of the settlement’s construction.’ Excavations undertaken between 2009 and 2012 revealed the remains
Heavy red meat eaters at increased risk of death
I
ncreasing red meat consumption, particularly processed red meat, is associated with a higher risk of death, researchers warned. A study published in the journal BMJ shows that replacing red meat with other protein sources, such as eggs and fish, whole grains and vegetables, over time may help you live longer. For the study, a team of researchers from Harvard University looked at the link between changes in red meat consumption over an eight-year period with mortality rate during the next eight years, starting from 1986 to the end of follow-up in 2010. They used data for 53,553 US registered female nurses, aged between 30 and 55, and 27,916 male health professionals
in the US, aged between 40 and 75, who were free of cardiovascular disease and cancer at the start of the study. Every four years the participants were given a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) where they were asked how often, on an average, they ate each food of standard portion size in the past year. They were then divided into five categories based on their changes in red meat intake. During the study period, the total number of deaths from any cause reached 14,019 (8,426 women and 5,593 men) and the leading causes were cardiovascular disease, cancer, respiratory disease and neurodegenerative disease. After adjusting for age and other potentially influential factors, increasing total red meat intake by 3.5 servings a week or more over an eight-year period was associated with 10 per cent higher risk of death in the next eight years. Overall, reducing red meat intake while eating more whole grains, vegetables or other protein foods such as poultry without skin, eggs and fish, was associated with a lower risk of death among both men and women.

of nine logboats in the ancient river channel, along with fish weirs and traps, providing further evidence of the long history of occupation in the area. The Must Farm houses are the ‘most completely preserved prehistoric domestic structures found in Britain’, the researchers wrote in their paper. The remains of the structures are visible as ‘hundreds of uprights or pile stumps, which together define the outline and internal settings of at least five stilted structures’ enclosed by a palisade with an internal walkway. The research team
said that the architecture reflects the conventions of the prehistoric British roundhouse, albeit located in an unusual wetland setting. Uniquely, there is no evidence that the structures were ever repaired and analysis of the timbers has suggested that the timbers were still green when destroyed by fire. The researchers said that Must Farm represents a ‘routine dwelling’ in a rarely excavated fenland setting, which is ‘incredibly valuable’. The team of archaeologists found more than 180 fibre or textile items, 160 wooden artefacts, 120 pottery vessels, 90 pieces of metal work and at least 80 glass beads. They said some of the plant and animal remains found at Must Farm are rare for that period in British prehistory and include pike bones, sheep and goat dung as well as entire charred and currently unidentified tubers. Most of the food sources, which include wild boar and deer, were not from the wetlands. The full findings of the study were published in the journal Antiquity. (Dailymail)

My dad, my superhero: TV actors on Father’s Day
T
he world of showbiz is brimming with superheroes, but for a slew of television actors, their dads are their real superheroes. On the occasion of Father’s Day, which falls on June 16, celebrities from the Hindi television industry shared their thoughts: Faisal Khan (Chandragupta Maurya in ‘Chandragupta Maurya’): My father has been my biggest pillar of support in my life and is one person I have looked up to for everything. Coming from a middle-class family, I never felt deprived of anything as my father always fulfilled my needs and never let me feel otherwise. My dad has always been a provider and the backbone of our family. I still remember the days when he used to drive a rickshaw to earn for our family and now he does it for fun. It makes me so happy that my father is proud of me and it is because of his hard work and
support that I have reached where I am today. Reem Shaikh (Kalyani in ‘Tujhse Hai Raabta’): “My father has been a constant support through my entire journey and has encouraged me to chase my dreams. He is my best friend who is always guiding and helping me make the right choices and to do the right thing. I am more than thank-
ful for him because he is a blessing in my life. He is the first person I want to share things with and seek advice from. Ashnoor Kaur (Mini in ‘Patiala Babes’): More than a father, he is like a brother to me. We are best of friends and are really open to each other and that’s the reason, I am comfortable sharing everything with him. Out of all the beauti-
ful moments that I have shared with my father, my favourite moment was hearing from him that the day I was born, he was so happy and elated that he hosted a huge celebration with close family and friends. Hearing this really made me feel special as at a time when people used to be sad with the birth of a daughter in the house, my father broke the
norm and was the happiest father in the world. Sehban Azim (Malhar Rane in ‘Tujhse Hai Raabta’: “A father always makes infinite sacrifices for his children and I have always aspired to be like my father someday. There are a lot of things that I do and follow in life which I have borrowed and grasped from my dad and there’s a lot more that I intend to imbibe from him. My father is my superhero and will always be. Reyhna Pandit (Mohini in ‘Manmohini’): My father is my hero and I owe everything that I am today to him. He is the pillar of strength for our family and doesn’t even let the slightest problem reach us. My dad always maintains a positive mindset and I have picked that from him. I am blessed to have him as my rock and am hoping to take him on a holiday around my birthday and spend some quality time with him.” (IANS)

You can stream the songs below, and check out footage of Drake’s celebrations. Drake became a global ambassador for The Raptors in 2013 and has been seen on the sidelines of many games, on occasion getting told off for getting too animated during the match. “This is poetic, you just gotta watch it happen,” Drake said in an emotional interview after the game. “The 6 in six, Kyle Lowry
with the ring, Kawhi Leonard bringing in chips to the city… I want my chips with the dip, that’s all I know.” “We did this off of heart, we did this off of love. We willed this into existence. We manifested this,” he declared. He also invited the internet to “make memes out of this.” Drake’s announced just how far he was going the extra mile to celebrate the Raptors’ win. He announced on Instagram that he would drop two new songs: “THE CHIP TO THE 6!!!!!!!!!!!!” he enthused in his post. (NME)

Women’s WC: Eng qualify for last 16
Jodie Taylor celebrates with England team-mates after scoring a goal during their Women’s World Cup match against Argentina.
LE HAVRE, Jun 15 (Agencies): England’s Jodie Taylor scored the only goal as they broke the deadlock against Argentina just past the hour to secure a 1-0 win and reach the last 16 at the women’s World Cup on Friday. England’s Nikita Parris had a first-half penalty saved by Vanina Correa, but Taylor got on the end of Beth Mead’s cross in the 62nd minute to give her side their second straight win. England, who moved
on to six points in Group D, join hosts France, Germany and Italy into the knockout phase. Japan have four points after they beat Scotland 2-1 earlier on Friday, leaving the Scots without a point from two games. “It was a good performance today by the team and good win,” said Taylor. “I remember Beth Mead playing a perfect ball which landed right on my foot. Patience was the key, we said it all week. We have had experience facing

a block of defence through qualifying and got frustrated, but today we had the quality and it paid off.” England coach Phil Neville had expected a tough game against an Argentina side who picked up their first World Cup point in a 0-0 draw against Japan in their opener and he was right. “It’s not relief - I thought we were outstanding - the speed of our play against a team that was always going to be difficult to play against,” he said.
“I’m so proud of them - four days ago I was critical of them but I’m so proud of every single one of them tonight.” England dominated possession as the Argentines soaked up the pressure early on and the Lionesses had a golden opportunity to go ahead in the 28th minute when Alex Greenwood was brought down in the area by Ruth Bravo but Parris’s spot kick was saved. Despite 11 attempts at goal, England were still looking for the breakthrough as they went in at halftime. Correa again denied Parris early in the second half with a brilliant save from the forward’s 20-metre strike, but there was nothing the 35-yearold could do when Taylor latched onto Mead’s cross and tucked the ball away inside the box. It was Taylor’s first goal for England in 430 days, and it capped a relentless all-out attacking performance by a team who finished third in the previous World Cup. The Lionesses will next face Japan on Wednesday with the Group D top spot at stake while Argentina will face Scotland.
WI’s Brathwaite reprimanded for showing dissent Southampton, Jun 15 (PTI): West Indies allrounder Carlos Brathwaite was on Saturday reprimanded for showing dissent to the umpire during their World Cup match against England here. Brathwaite was found to have breached Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to showing dissent to an umpire’s decision. The incident occurred in the 43rd over of the West Indies innings when Brathwaite made his displeasure at being given out by the umpires here on Friday night. Brathwaite admitted to the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by David Boon of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees and, as such, there was no need for a formal hearing. On-field umpires Sundaram Ravi and Kumar Dharmasena, third umpire Rodney Tucker and fourth official Paul Wilson levelled the charges. Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player’s match fee, and one or two demerit points.
Barty looking for fresh start on grass Birmingham, Jun 15 (Agencies): Newly-crowned French Open champion Ashleigh Barty is looking forward to a fresh start as she gets ready to begin her build-up to Wimbledon on Birmingham’s grasscourts next week. Against most people’s predictions the 23-year-old Australian notched up her first Grand Slam title on Parisian clay rather than the lawns to which her all-court game is most suited. All eyes will now be on the world number two as she attempts to do something only six women have ever achieved — win the French Open and Wimbledon back to back. “In all honesty this is a fresh start, a clean slate and a new season, jumping on the grass,” Barty told reporters on Friday at the Edgbaston club which again has attracted a highclass field ahead of next month’s Wimbledon. “I’m excited to be here in Birmingham. This is a time of year that I love playing tennis. It’s one of the best times of the year. The bonus is I’ve been playing a lot of tennis and hitting a lot of balls. Now it’s about adjusting to the surface. But I find it an easy adjustment to make. I feel fresh; I feel good.”
Ashleigh Barty
Barty, a former junior Wimbledon champion who quit tennis in 2014 to play first-class cricket, said she was still enjoying the glow of her achievement in Paris where she beat Czech youngster Marketa Vondrousova to become the first Australian woman for 46 years to win the Roland Garros title. A sports fanatic, Barty has been unwinding by watching some of the cricket World Cup and hitting golf balls. “Now we’re back to work here and time to start on the grass,” the Queenslander said. “It’s a unique situation and it’s an incredible situation. It’s about
enjoying it. I may never get the opportunity again. I’m going to continue to try and work as hard as I can to put myself in that position again but it’s been incredible.” Despite finding herself in demand, Barty is keeping a lid on expectations in Birmingham where she was runner-up in 2017. “I’m obviously drawing on some of the experiences I’ve had over the past three weeks but I also know that it doesn’t guarantee success,” she said. “It’s a clean start, it’s a fresh slate here. I’m just looking forward to trying to get as many matches as I can over the next few weeks.”

Brazil win Copa America opener
Philippe Coutinho celebrates with Brazil team-mates after scoring agoal during their Copa America match against Bolivia.
Sao Paulo, Jun 15 (Agencies): With Neymar watching from afar, it was Philippe Coutinho who came through for Brazil in the Copa America opener. With two quick goals after the team was jeered by the local crowd at halftime, Coutinho helped Brazil overcome the absence of the injured Neymar in Brazil’s 3-0 win over Bolivia on Friday. Coutinho converted a penalty kick awarded by video review in the 50th minute and headed in a cross by Roberto Firmino in the 53rd, helping the hosts overcome a lackluster first half that prompted the loud jeers at the Morumbi Stadium. K Y M C
“Sometimes it’s normal for the fans to jeer, they want us to play well and win,” Coutinho said. “It was a difficult match, like it always is in the opener. It was important to get this first win.” Substitute Everton also scored in the second half to help appease the fans at the Morumbi, keeping Brazil on track for its first South American title since 2007. Brazil’s debut came with Neymar still attracting most of the attention even though he is not playing in the tournament because of an ankle injury. Neymar on Thursday appeared at a police station amid a media frenzy to answer questions about a rape allegation from
a Brazilian woman who visited him in Paris. Neymar, who has denied wrongdoing, posted a photo on Twitter of himself watching the match from bed while treating his right ankle, along with a message showing support to his former team-mates. Brazil felt Neymar’s absence in the first half, with its attack unable to do much against the Bolivian defense. Young Ajax forward David Neres, replacing Neymar in the starting lineup, couldn’t add the spark Brazil needed up front. Firmino and Richarlison also couldn’t get anything going early on, leading to the half-time jeers by most in the crowd of 46,342 at the Morumbi.
It didn’t take long for Brazil to get the crowd back on board in the second half, with Coutinho opening the scoring from the penalty spot after video review determined a handball by Bolivia defender Adrian Jusino. The midfielder quickly added the second minutes later with a close-range header after Firmino’s wellplaced cross. Everton, who replaced Neres, scored the third goal with a right-footed shot from outside the area after clearing a couple of defenders. Brazil next faces Venezuela in Group A, while Bolivia hosts Peru. Venezuela and Peru play their opener on Saturday in Porto Alegre. An eight-time Copa America champion, Brazil has won the tournament all four previous times it hosted the event, the last time in 1989. Brazil was wearing a white jersey in honor of the 100th anniversary of the team’s first South American title in 1919. Bolivia won its lone Copa America title in 1963 at home. It didn’t get past the group stage in 2016, but made it to the quarter-finals in the 2015 tournament. Among those at the Morumbi on Friday was Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro.
Lo n d o n, J u n 1 5 (IANS): Sri Lanka manager Ashantha de Mel on Friday complained to the International Cricket Council (ICC) about the “unfair” pitches provided for the island nation’s matches in the ongoing World Cup so far. He also highlighted the poor condition of training facilities and accommodation. “What we have found out is that for the four matches we have played so far at Cardiff and Bristol, the ICC prepared green pitches,” he told Daily News. “At the same venues, the other countries have played on pitches which were brown and favourable for high scoring. The pitch being prepared for our match against Australia on Saturday at The Oval is green. It is not sour grapes that we are complaining. But it is very unfair on the part of the ICC that they prepare one type of wicket for certain teams and an-

Australia inch closer to semi-final
London, Jun 15 (PTI): Skipper Aaron Finch stroked his way to a majestic century as defending champions Australia inched closer to the semifinal berth with a crushing 87-run win over Sri Lanka in their World Cup fixture here Saturday. Finch forged two crucial partnerships, 80 with his opening partner David Warner (26) and 173 with Steve Smith (73 off 59) for the third wicket, in his 132ball 153 knock. It was his 14th ODI hundred. Glenn Maxwell then provided the late charge with an unbeaten 25-ball 46 as Australia posted a challenging 334 for 7. Chasing the total, Sri Lanka were 115 for no loss at one stage but they squandered the superb start to be eventually dismissed for 247 in 45.5 overs. Skipper Dimuth Karunaratne (97) was the topscorer for Sri Lanka, while his opening partner Kusal Perera (52) also scored a fifty. Mitchell Starc took four wickets, while Kane Richardson claimed three and Pat Cummins scalped two. This is Australia’s fourth win in five matches, having beaten Afghanistan, the West Indies and Pakistan while losing to India in the 10-team tournament. Sri Lanka were off to a flying start to their runchase with Karunaratne and Kusal Perera helping the team post 87 for zero in 10 overs, the highest total in the powerplay in the tournament so far. The Island nation scored 100 in 12.4 overs

before Mitchell Starc produced a breakthrough, cleaning up Perera in the 16th over. Lahiru Thirimanne (16), who survived a couple of run-out chances, brought up the team 150 with a square drive but he was caught behind in the next ball by Jason Behrendorff as Sri Lanka slipped to 153 for 2. Runs dried up after that as Australia tightened the screws. With pressure mounting, Karunaratne ended up giving a straight catch to Maxwell at gully,
just three runs short of his hundred. Two quick wickets next saw Sri Lanka further slump to 209 for five and they never recovered after that. Earlier, Finch played some exquisite shots to keep the runs flowing even as his opening partner Warner found the going tough. Nuwan Pradeep was first in the firing line as he was hit for two fours by Finch. The Australia skipper then blasted Lasith Malinga for a couple of fours
in the seventh over before welcoming Thisara Perera with successive boundaries as Australia scored 53 in the first powerplay. I n t h e 1 7 t h ove r, D h a n a n j aya d e S i l va cleaned up Warner when he tried to make room for himself to play a cut shot. Finch and Usman Khawaja (10) took Australia to hundred in 23rd over but the left-handed batsman perished soon after his sweep shot was caught by Isuru Udana at deep midwicket. Smith then joined hands with Finch, who exploded in the 29th over, smashing de Silva out of the park twice besides a boundary to amass 20 runs off the over. Smith too dealt in boundaries as the duo brought up the 200 in 35.3 overs. The former skipper completed his fifty in 46 balls. Udana finally broke the partnership when he had Finch caught at cover by Karunaratne off a slower delivery as Australia slipped to 273 for 3 in 42.4 overs. Malinga then dismissed Smith with a cracking yorker in the next over, while Udana showed great athleticism to run out Alex Carey and Pat Cummins to stem the run flow. Brief scores Au s t r a l i a - 3 3 4 / 7 (Aaron Finch 153, Steve Smith 73; Dhananjaya de Silva 2/40) Sri Lanka- 247 all out (Dimuth Karunaratne 97, Kusal Perera 52; Mitchell Starc 4/55, Kane Richardson 3/47)
Australia to make call on Stoinis next week London, Jun 15 (PTI): Australia will take a final call on injured all-rounder Marcus Stoinis’ fate in the World Cup ahead of their next week’s match against Bangladesh. Stoinis, who has suffered a side strain that is preventing him from bowling, will be travelling with the Australian squad to Nottingham -- the venue for their next match -- and the final decision on whether he would remain in the World Cup would be taken there. Skipper Aaron Finch said Mitchell Marsh, who is on standby and has started training, would be ready if he is included into the official squad. “There is confidence that Mitch will come in and do well if selected, if Stoinis doesn’t recover properly,” he added. Finch admitted that injury to an all-rounder upsets the balance of a side. “Yeah, it’s tough when guys, especially all-rounders who balance out your side really well and give you that extra fast-bowling option, as well as a top six batter, (are out). So it’s a little bit difficult trying to decide whether you go the extra batter or the extra bowler, depending on conditions,” Finch said. “So I think it does make it a little bit tougher, a bit more of a challenge, no doubt. But we also did plan for that, if it did happen throughout the tournament. So it wasn’t a total surprise. Obviously, it’s not ideal, but it’s not a surprise to us because we had already thought about things like that. But just game to game, it totally changes,” he added.

‘Spotty showers’ may affect India-Pak clash
New Delhi, Jun 15 (IANS): With just a day to go for the much-anticipated, high octane World Cup clash between India and Pakistan, cricket fans across the globe are praying that the rain gods stay away from Old Trafford on Sunday. So far, four matches have been abandoned in the ongoing World Cup, including India’s last fixture against New Zealand. The game in Trent Bridge was called off without a ball being bowled. Two days before the India-Pakistan clash, Manchester received heavy rainfall. The pitch was under the hover cover and the square was covered by sheets. However, few hours later, the rain went away and there was bright sunshine. This has raised hopes of the cricket fans who have come in from all parts of the world to witness one of the greatest cricket rivalry. But, it has been forecasted that light showers are on the cards on Sunday afternoon, thus affecting the marquee clash
between the arch-rivals. Considering the unpredictability of the English weather, anything is possible. As per the weather forecasting website, Accuweather, spotty showers are to take place between 12 pm and 1 pm (local time). The website further predicted that the conditions will remain overcast throughout the day with the temperature hovering around 17 degree Celsius. The Inter national Cricket Council (ICC) has already been drawing flak for the poor scheduling and lack of reserve days for the league stage matches and in case the India-Pakistan clash is washed out, one can be pretty sure that a lot of eyebrows will be raised towards the international governing body. On the field, India enjoy the perfect record when it comes to World Cup clashes against Pakistan. Both the teams have met six times and the Men in Blue have emerged victorious on all six occasions.
