Correspondent

KOHIMA, JUN 22 (NPN): Inspector General of Assam Rifles (North) Maj. Gen. PC Nair Saturday said that the arrest of ‘maj. gen.’

Yanghang alias Mopa of the Augn Yung led NSCN (K) faction on June 21 was a major breakthrough for security forces in connection with the May 25 ambush at Aboi-Mon road, where two AR personnel were killed.

In continuation of the operation, security forces

also seized two AK series rifles, 2 magazines and around 50 rounds of ammunition besides other items Saturday.

Sources, said that the seizure was made following interrogation of Mopa. During interrogation, the NSCN (K) functionary gave details of the locations where the arms and ammunitions were kept. They were found inside the jungle in a temporary hut, wrapped in plastic.

Addressing a press conference here at IGAR (N) Hq, Nair said Mopa, a self

styled ‘maj. gen.’ was the highest ranking cadre of Aung Yung led NSCN (K) in India, and the chief architect of extortion and perpetrator of many heinous crimes.

He was also controlling all operations of the faction in Nagaland, Manipur and Arunachal, Nair added.

After the ambush, IGAR (N) said GOC-in-C Eastern Command, Lt Gen MM Naravane visited the forward areas on June 5, 2019 to exhort the troops to ensure relentless operations

to apprehend the culprits. He had also announced a cash reward of Rs. Five lakhs for information leading to the arrest of those involved.

With the support of the local populace and under the aegis of 3 Corps, Maj. Gen. Nair said the Army, special forces and Assam Rifles of Eastern Command launched sustained military operations in all dimensions to nab the perpetrators.

IGAR (N) said Mopa’s arrest is not only a massive victory for security forces and state governments but also a relief amongst local population. “Security Forces have a firm resolve to continue their relentless operations to protect all the citizens from this bane of terrorism,” he added.

IGAR(N) appealed to all cadres to give up such futile course of violence and join the initiative of Government of India in cease-fire efforts to bring peace and development in the region.

E-tattoo for accurate heart monitoring developed Mudslides block traffic along NH-29 NEW YORK, JUN 22 (IANS): Engineers have developed a new wearable, ultra-thin electronic device - e-tattoo - that could make heart monitoring easier and more accurate than existing electrocardiograph machines.

Developed by engineers from the University of Texas at Austin, the graphene-based ‘e-tattoo’ can be placed on the skin to measure a variety of body responses, from electrical to biomechanical signals.

The electronic device is so lightweight and stretchable that it can be placed over the heart for extended periods without any discomfort, according to the engineer’s research, published in the Advanced Science journal.

Moreover, it measures cardiac health in two ways -- taking electrocardiograph

and seismocardiography readings simultaneously.

Most of us are familiar with already existing technologies such as Electrocardiogram (ECG), a method that records the rates of electrical activity produced each time the heart beats and Seismocardiography (SCG), a measurement technique using chest vi-

brations associated with heartbeats.

Whereas, this new etattoo, powered remotely by a smartphone, is the first ultra-thin technology to measure both ECG and SCG. “We can get much greater insight into heart health by the synchronous collection of data from

both sources,” said Nanshu Lu, Associate Professor at the University of Texas at Austin.

The Electrocardiogram readings alone are not accurate enough for determining heart health but they provide additional information when combined with Seismocardiography signal recordings, said researchers.

The e-tattoo is made of a piezoelectric polymer called polyvinylidene fluoride, capable of generating its own electric charge in response to mechanical stress. Besides, it also includes 3D digital image correlation technology that is used to map chest vibrations in order to identify the best location on the chest to place the e-tattoo.

This device can be worn for days, providing constant heart monitoring.

The personnel shot them in the legs with a non lethal weapon. The victim was stooping low, got hit in the chest and died,” the SDPO said.

A senior BSF officer from Tripura frontier said their personnel opened fire from a non lethal pump action gun to incapacitate the smugglers since they had mounted an attack on him.

Need structural changes in Tripura to hand over 20 govt schools to ISKCON NE Congress units, says Faleiro Agartala, Jun 22 (PTI): Tripura government has decided to hand over 20 state-run schools including 13 closed institutions to ISKCON to run them, Education Minister Ratan Lal Nath said Friday.

The 13 schools are closed as they don’t have any student. In 147 other government schools there are a maximum of only 10 students, he said.

“The council of ministers in its meeting held on Thursday evening decided to hand over 20 schools including the closed 13 schools and seven schools from 147 schools, which have maximum 10 students to

the authorities of International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), who agreed to provide quality education in those schools”, Nath told a press conference.

‘Indian Tribal Care Trust’, a wing of ISKCON would run the schools, Nath said, adding the schools are located in remote and tribal areas of the state.

The minister said the BJP-IPFT gover nment which came to power in the state last year after ousting the Left Front was trying to reform the education system in the state.

“Initially they (ISKCON) opted for 53 schools

S hillo n g, J u n 2 2 (PTI): Admitting that the state Congress units in the northeast need to introspect and work on their strengths and weaknesses, senior leader Luihinzo Faleiro has called for structural changes in the party.

Faleiro, who is the All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary in-charge of the northeast, said the party will come up with an action plan and a road map for the restructuring programme in about 6,000 villages of Meghalaya over the next 15 days.

The nation was going through “disturbing times”, with the incumbent BJP government doing nothing to improve the economic and employment scenario, he claimed.

“The Congress is going through difficult times, we have to accept it. We are

doing our introspection to find out and work on our strengths and weaknesses.

“However, more than the Congress party, it is the nation which is going through disturbing times,” Faleiro said on Friday during a meeting with Meghalaya Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) leaders, party MLAs and other functionaries.

He sought the support of regional parties, maintaining that the BJPled government was not sensitive to the needs of the indigenous communities in the northeast.

“The former economic adviser to the prime minister had clearly stated that the way the GDP was being manipulated, it was wrong. There is no industrial growth or agricultural growth, the BJP government has taken the country

45 years behind in terms of employment opportunities,” he said.

The regional parties in the northeast should realize that the BJP-led NDA government was working against their interests, Faleiro stressed.

“The NDA government has withdrawn special category status to the northeast states, it was now trying to implement the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill here. It is important to realise whether being a member of the NEDA would be beneficial for the region in the long-run,” he said, urging the regional outfits to unite and “defeat the agenda” of the BJP. The Congress has won three of 14 Lok Sabha seats in Assam and one seat in Meghalaya in the recently concluded general election.

IMPHAL, Jun 22: Manipur on Saturday became the third state in North East after Assam and Tripura to launch the Rotavirus vaccination programme.

State health and family welfare minister, L Jayentakumar launched the programme at a function jointly hosted by the health department and state health society.

Rotavirus is highly contagious and spreads when the child comes in contact with infected water, food or hands. Infections mostly occur in very young children.

There is no drug available to treat Rotavirus infection at present. It is generally treated with ORS and Zinc for 14 days.

In India, 78,000 die each year and about 8.72 lakh hospitalised each year due to Rotavirus infection, according to the officials of the state health department.

Rotavirus vaccine introduced in Manipur on Saturday will be available free of cost in all government health facilities under Universal Immunization Programme.

Addressing the launching function, health minister L Jayentakumar appealed the officials and staff of state health and family welfare department as well state health society to work with all efforts to reach far flung areas of the state. “You should work sincerely to ensure that no child is left without vaccination,” he said.

Asserting that an improved healthcare delivery system was needed for advancement of the state, the minister said the state government was also giving top priority to the health sector after the education sector. Education will be of no meaning if health is not well, he said.

State health director, Dr L Rajo informed that the rotavirus vaccine will be made available in all the state run healthcare centre including district hospitals, community health centres, primary health centres and also at the special immunisation centres.

The World Health Organization also recommended that rotavirus vaccine be included in national routine vaccinations programmes, the officials said.

Agartala, Jun 22 (PTI): Tripura government will bear expenses of 3,000 students from Below Poverty Line families if they want to study in private schools from next academic year, Education Minister Ratan Lal Nath said Saturday.

Nath said children from BPL families earlier could not afford to study in private English medium schools due to high fees, so the state government has decided to bear expenses of 3,000 such students. “It is clearly stated in Right to Education Act, 2009 that schools have to admit 25 per cent of total students from local poor families. Their fees are also specified in the Act. Our government will pay for all expenses of their study in private schools of their choice, said Nath.

Surprisingly, no private school in the state placed demands for reimbursement of fees for poor students admitted till 2019, which indicates no such student was admitted in these schools, the minister said. Tripura currently has 4,398 government and government-aided schools. The state has 335 private schools.

He said that the state government was even ready to issue Patta in the name of the village concerned if the land where forest would be developed is a wasteland.

Rampant felling of trees in the hills of Manipur has created soil erosion leading to siltation of rivers and lakes, the chief minister said.

Singh said that the soil in many hill areas has become too soft and weak due to excessive use of chemical fertilizers in poppy plantation.

He urged the departments concerned and public to plant maximum number of saplings during this monsoon season.

Upon the demand of Saheibung villagers, the chief minister assured to open a Primary Health SubCentre (PHSC) in the village after discussing the matter in the state cabinet.

In a statement issued at the conclusion of its Plenary meeting in Orlando, Florida, the FATF expressed concern “that not only did Pakistan fail to complete its action plan items with January deadlines, it also failed to complete its action plan items due May 2019”.

The FATF “strongly” urges Pakistan to swiftly complete its action plan when the last set of action plan items are set to expire.

“Otherwise, the FATF will decide the next step at that time for insufficient progress,” the international financial body said leaving a strong warning to Pakistan.

NEW DELHI, JUN 22 (IANS): The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday rejected a plea by fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi that he should be questioned in Antigua because of his health condition and said it can arrange air ambulance with medical experts to bring him back to India for interrogation in connection with the PNB fraud case.

Choksi has also said that he has left India for his medical treatment abroad and not to avoid prosecution in the case. Countering his submission, the ED told the court that the best medical facilities are available in India and would be provided to Choksi if he returns to India.

BJP on bill-mode

uoyed by its landslide victory in the 2019 Lok Sabha election, the BJP with 302 MPs and with the support of a total of 352 MPs of the NDA, got to serious legislation by re-introducing the controversial and new triple talaq bill which will replace an ordinance issued in February this year by the previous NDA government. Divorce under Muslim personal laws was effected simply by pronouncing word ‘talaq’ thrice in one sitting by a Muslim man to his wife. Such a divorce was held irrevocable till the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional. The government promulgated an ordinance on triple talaq in September 2018 and February 2019, as the contentious bill remained pending in the Rajya Sabha, though it was passed by the Lok Sabha. In Rajya Sabh, the BJP has only have 85 MPs, out of the 245 in the upper house. The lack of a majority in the upper house could prove to be a challenge for the government. Under the ordinance, divorcing through instant triple talaq is illegal, void and will attract a jail term of three years for the husband. The new bill is the same as the ordinance in force. The Bill, which proposes to make the practice of instant triple talaq (talaq-e-biddat) a penal offence, had faced objections from the opposition parties which claimed that jail term for a man for divorcing his wife was legally untenable. Though the BJP enjoys an overwhelming majority in the lower house, it faces some problems when members of the NDA such as the Janata Dal (United) and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) , made known their opposition to the controversial bill. Understandably, the Congress has also opposed the bill in its current form. According to Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, the bill does nothing to improve the status of Muslim women. He said it only punishes Muslim men, but does nothing to protect Muslim women. All India Majlis-e-Itehadul Muslimeen(AIMIM) leader and MP Asaduddin Owaisi described the Triple talaq bill as unconstitutional. He said the bill was a violation of Constitution’s Article 14 and 15. Arguing against the bill, he pointed out that there were already laws such as - Domestic Violence Act 2005, CrPC Section 125, Muslim Women Marriage Act. He said if Triple talaq bill becomes a law, it will be even greater injustice against women.

He asked who would give allowance if a man gets arrested under the bill. Owaisi also pointed out that under the bill, a Muslim man will get three years sentence while the marriage remained intact but a nonMuslim man gets jailed only for one year. The Triple Talaq bill is seen to be a precursor for subsequent legislations of the Modi government. Besides revoking Article 370 for a one nation, one law, the BJP had also promised to legislate the Uniform civil code in its 2019 election manifesto, to replace personal laws based on the scriptures and customs of each major religious community in India with a common set of rules governing every citizen. Although Article 44 of the Indian Constitution guarantees UCC to all citizens, the debate arose when the question of making certain laws applicable to all citizens without abridging the fundamental right of right to practice religious functions. If UCC is passed, then it will definitely impact practises of other religious minorities.

Think about: What is it are we chasing?

owadays we live in a world of rat-race and cut-throat competition. Everywhere right across main streets and by lanes we see hundreds and thousands of people commuting from one place to another and in that some want to meet both the ends—sheer livelihood; others for better standard of living—sheer quality life; a few want to make more and more money—somehow or other out of greed. Basically everyone wants to be betteroff which again a human nature—but how can this done? And yet all these segments differ from one another in terms of earning money.

People make money in different ways. The means and modes they employ vary from one to other.

Money is important and essential but how do we earn that money is more important than anything else. The poor and the hapless find it hard to earn money and will have to struggle a lot, whereas there are a few some know how to make money and multiply money. Money is important and to earn that we need to sweat it out—sell our labor only then we can earn money and from that we can survive and sustain. Therefore, we live in a world where money has become central and pivotal.

It’s indeed a mad mad mad world craving for money and so we somehow are pushed to the slogan -- money, money, money. In this context I am reminded of ABBA’s lyric which is apt and relevant: “I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay, Ain’t it sad, And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me, That’s too bad, In my dreams I have a plan, If I got me a wealthy man, I wouldn’t have to work at all, I’d fool around and have a ball, Money, money, money, Must be funny, In the rich man’s world, Money, money, money, Always sunny, In the rich man’s world, Aha aha, All the things I could do. If I had a little money, It’s a rich man’s world, It’s a rich man’s world, A man like that is hard to find but I can’t get him off my mind

Ain’t it sad, And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn’t fancy me, That’s too bad, So I must leave, I’ll have to go,To Las Vegas or Monaco, And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same Money, money, money, Must be funny, In the rich man’s world, Money, money, money, Always sunny, In the rich man’s world, Aha aha, All the things I could do, If I had a little money, It’s a rich man’s world, Money, money, money, Must be funny, In the rich man’s world Money, money, money, Always sunny, In the rich man’s world, Aha aha, All the things I could do, If I had a little money, It’s a rich man’s world, It’s a rich man’s world.”

The above lyric is filled with abundant meaning that fits us in the world we live— propelled and governed by money and money alone.

We, the humans have eventually become like machines remotely controlled—press the button we act as per the commands. This is like when we spend some time in treadmill we sweat out. Likewise we spend the whole day toiling and yet there’s no peace of mind. There’s a vacuum and some emptiness. Life in a modern world is increasingly becoming messy and complex. Many have resorted or resort to diverse means and ends, but hardly find answers.

The answer is within us. I am reminded of Leo Tolstoy picks an example of a peasant in Russia who owns a small plot of land. He was leading a quiet and peaceful life.

Like any other human being he has been observing keenly a rich land lord and his life style growing higher and higher. Somehow or the other he wanted to become like him. He started to save money and went on a trip to buy land where he found a community leading a nomadic life. He bought some gifts to be given to the tribal chief and when he met he gave those gifts. He thanked the peasant and in return told him that the land covered by him till the sun set becomes his own. He was taken aback and became

so over ambitious and started his journey by walking fast so that more land could be covered and thus be acquired.

As the day moved further it started becoming hotter and hotter. The peasant without drinking water and resting a while kept walking. His became so ambitious and greedy to secure more land without any break.

Finally the sun was about to set and the villagers assembled to receive him and to celebrate the victory. The crowed started to applaud as he was reaching the finish line.

When touched the finish line he went down collapsing and apparently died out of thirst and exhaustion. This story is a timely reminder to all us since greed and consumerism dominates our lives. Many race their lives in order to make more and more money to advance their status and luxuries. There is no end to accumulation of wealth and money and the means to acquire doesn’t matter but we want to have more and more—unlimited wants.

Greed has no limits and to satiate our greed we go to any extent till our breath stops.

Those who believe that only death can stop their race nothing can be done.

What is the use of having everything without peace of mind and harmonious living within and around us? We may have acquired everything that the world could offer, but if there’s no peace what then is the point of life and living.

Sanctity of life cannot be measured or covered by wealth and money. Life is precious and we need to moderate and nurture the preciousness of life by cultivating the values of contentment, simplicity and need-based life style. We should be prepared to say no to acquisition, consumerism and accumulation. Those who live and lead a simple life style respecting the sanctity of life by not lured by the consumerism, but nurturing the eco-systems around will be endowed with that wholeness that cut-across all our understanding.

DailyDevotion Plastic ban cannot be the only step The Unchanging Law of Judgment

T

With what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. —Matthew 7:2 This statement is not some haphazard theory, but it is an eternal law of God. Whatever judgment you give will be the very way you are judged. There is a difference between retaliation and retribution. Jesus said that the basis of life is retribution— “with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.” If you have been shrewd in finding out the shortcomings of others, remember that will be exactly how you will be measured. The way you pay is the way life will pay you back.

This eternal law works from God’s throne down to us (see Psalm 18:25-26).

Romans 2:1 applies it in even a more definite way by saying that the one who criticizes another is guilty of the very same thing. God looks not only at the act itself, but also at the possibility of committing it, which He sees by looking at our hearts. To begin with, we do not believe the statements of the Bible. For instance, do we really believe the statement that says we criticize in others the very things we are guilty of ourselves? The reason we see hypocrisy, deceit, and a lack of genuineness in others is that they are all in our own hearts. The greatest characteristic of a saint is humility, as evidenced by being able to say honestly and humbly, “Yes, all those, as well as other evils, would have been exhibited in me if it were not for the grace of God. Therefore, I have no right to judge.”

Jesus said, “Judge not, that you be not judged” (Matthew 7:1). He went on to say, in effect, “If you do judge, you will be judged in exactly the same way.” Who of us would dare to stand before God and say, “My God, judge me as I have judged others”? We have judged others as sinners— if God should judge us in the same way, we would be condemned to hell. Yet God judges us on the basis of the miraculous atonement by the Cross of Christ.

Commemorating the balance of a bygone era

ately, the buzzes on ‘Factional reconciliation’ through some ‘timely-role’ involvement of FNR during the late-decade, rocketed my mind with nostalgia over the ‘defined resolution’ – “which doesn’t escape the eye for compression – the only precedence” – of experiential memory that is true in standing with the collective. I was in my mid-late teens when the factional crisis soon outburst into heinous fratricidal slaughtering-machine. The ‘ground reality’ was worsening up to the event one can never be sure where the gunfire would crop out on any instance. It was a rapid escalation of due political morbidity. It was in Dimapur where the ‘battle ground’ was central. The regular commuter and students alike were left petrified by ‘killing incidences’ that didn’t identify nor addressed the civility of status quo. I remember Dimapur in essence had been consumed at large by the canvas of fear and suspicion – like an artist stroking his brushes to leave impression without adhering to patterns in-order with underlying principles – such was the chaotic state – bounded by political disarray – eerie ambience reverberating still among all living and lost brethren – further fuelled by uncertainty of times. A friend narrated his ordeal: he had just entered a shop to get cigarettes close by Referral Hospital 4th mile, that near instant, a van screeched halted few yards from where he was ... from the van an armed assailant stormed out and unhesitatingly gunned down a customer next to him. His senses numbed downed left in complete “lock - shock” to the point, he felt like lucid dreaming, except it was real.

[I could only fathom the incident without chills not shiver through my spine, as the bullet ‘bang’ rip through the skull, and a consciousness disconnect from field of experiences, while the ‘young man’ on the other side flabbergasted and crystallized from the absolute horror of incomprehensible framing of times-events.]

The fear, anxiety and asphyxiating conditioning that was engulfing in gush of torrential distress soon developed into loathing, naturally. It was a mechanism means of survival people had to opt out, initially without provoking any hostility towards ‘anti-agents’ of people’s happiness, serenity and commute. The members from factions in conflict took refuge into the homes of their ‘familiar ones’. This lead into the interfactional battle ground penetrating into the residency’s at the community. The commotion and stray bullets usually wounding pedestrians and people

inside their ‘own homes’ had had the people up by the neck. Church bells rang to siren people, bull horns amplified– a candid incitation for residents to assemble driving the gangs out of the neighbourhood. The residents of ‘Diphubar B’ were among the early mob that regrouped and succeeded in besieging and driving the stationed gangs from their precincts of habitat.

This trend soon caught the attention of people in general and it clamoured exponentially. It was akin to driving the ‘inter-dimensional’ demon overlord himself from the colonies that it had forced upon to reign horror and carnage – rhetorically speaking! – for the proof and ‘diaz’ of what we’re dealing against (before my narrative and rhetorical patterns entangles from quantum scale).

I remember many civil and local bodies, tribal organizations and people in general publishing their opinions “in papers” of dissent towards the exasperating mode of events people had to suffer from. Not long after the people from almost every villages, corridors and blocks managed to revolt and contain the interfactional clashes in Dimapur, the intensity plummeted into conditions that were favourable for normalcy once again. This provided ample opportunity for an agent to hammer a peace deal within the factions for every party’s sake, now that people were core-aggravated and decisive on insubordination from the commotion.

FNR stepped in by the grace of goodwill, the fading strain of support on the factions were rekindled by FNR’s persistent and relentless efforts which is conceptual exemplary of unrivaled gallantry – I wouldn’t reiterate FNR’s participation on how FNR unflinchingly despite looming threat over the lives of FNR’s own members, managed to strongly easy-rope their way into opposing groups’ lair, and FNR even at the face of adversity unperturbed with FNR’s goals – this has been highlighted enough by many authors. FNR deserves no less than a state ordained memento and commendation to commemorate FNR’s timely intrusion. Without assigning erratic premise or ‘replicate’ fraudulent and my own wishful deriving of narrative, I think this ‘content’–people had to be given in cognizance I presumed, objective wise. Treaties may not be complimentary from people’s plight but indeed, the obviousness for the hour is a feat displayed daringly

by FNR for which FNR should be duly end credited with a souvenir commemorating ‘also’ FNR’s participation when times were intensely uncertain.

CJI writes to PM, seeks increase in SC judges

NEW DELHI, JUN 22 (PTI): Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking to increase the strength of judges and raise the retirement age of high court judges to 65 years.

Gogoi has also urged the prime minister to make tenure appointments of retired apex court judges and high court judges under Articles 128 and 224A of the Constitution respectively to clear backlog of cases pending for years. The CJI, who wrote three letters to the PM, said there was a pendency of 58,669 cases in the top court and the number was increasing due to filing of more fresh cases. Due to paucity of judges, the required number of Constitution benches to decide important cases involving questions of law were not being formed, the CJI said.

“You would recall that way back in 1988, about three decades ago, the judge strength of the SC was increased from 18 to 26, and then again after two decades in 2009, it was increased to 31, including the CJI, to expedite disposal of cases to keep pace with the rate of institution,” he wrote.

Ranjan Gogoi (File)

“I request you to kindly consider, on top priority, to augment the judge-strength in the SC appropriately so that it can function more efficiently and effectively as it will go a long way to attain ultimate goal of rendering timely justice to the litigant public,” Gogoi wrote. He said that though the size of the feeder cadre of chief justice and judges of the high courts has increased in the past yet the strength has not been increased proportionally in the top court.

In his second letter, the CJI urged Modi to consider bringing a constitutional amendment to increase the retirement age of high court judges from 62 to 65 years.

“One of the prime reasons why we are not able to contain the ever-growing

pendency is shortage of HC judges. At present, 399 posts, or 37 per cent of sanctioned judge-strength, are vacant. The existing vacancies need to be filled immediately. However, despite best efforts put in by all stakeholders, it has not been possible to appoint judges to bring the working judgestrength anywhere close to the sanctioned judgestrength,” Gogoi wrote.

The CJI also wrote that the retirement age of high court judges should be raised by three years to 65 years.

“This, in turn, would help in improving the vacancy position and consequently reducing pendency of cases.

This would also be in consonance with the (repeated) recommendations made by parliamentary standing committees,” he wrote.

Gogoi further said, “A judge takes time to evolve and by the time he is in a position to put innovative thoughts based on rich experience to practice, he finds himself nearing retirement.

This can be avoided if the age of retirement is raised to an appropriate level so that his vast experience, deeper insight and expertise can be utilised for a longer period.”

The union has urged the law enforcing agencies to investigate without any bias and book the perpetrators and award befitting punishment as per the law.

4 TDP Rajya Sabha members and others while joining the BJP.

AMARAVATI, JUN 22 (PTI): The Telugu Desam Party Saturday asserted that four of its Rajya Sabha members joining the BJP clearly amounted to defection and called it “immoral and undemocratic”.

The YSR Congress, on the other hand, reiterated that the four MPs’ action was “100 per cent match-fixing” between the TDP and the BJP. TDP senior leaders met at the residence of party president N Chandrababu Naidu and discussed various developments.

The party’s Andhra Pradesh unit president K Kala Venkata Rao chaired the meeting, a release said.

Naidu, who is on a vacation in Europe, also spoke to the leaders over phone and discussed the political developments in the state, it added.

The Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council Yanamala Ramakrishnudu said the so-called merger of four MPs with the BJP was “immoral and undemocratic” and it only amounted to defection.

The BJP was resorting to such devious acts as it lacked a majority in the Council of States, he said.

That the four MPs were listed on the Rajya Sabha website as BJP members within hours after their defection exposed the

functioning of the Central government, the release quoted the TDP leaders as having said. They alleged that the BJP was indulging in such acts to cause trouble to Naidu, who fought with the Centre for grant of Special Category Status to Andhra Pradesh.

The TDP leaders once again cried foul over the take over of the government building ‘Praja Vedika’, adjacent to Naidu’s leased residence at Undavalli area here.

Though Naidu wrote to the Chief Minister, requesting that the building be allotted to him, the government took possession of the building without any reply, they lamented.

1958 in Nagaland continued to “insult the honor of the Nagas as Sub-human beings who does not deserve an iota of respect and human dignity by New Delhi.”

Stating that procedure laid down by the law was used as an excuse by the state to violate human rights with the might of her military powers, the two organsiations queried “Whose security do they exist for when the security for those whom they profess to protect is at peril?”

Angami Youth Organisation and Angami Students’ Union asserted that Nagaland has been experiencing a relative peace since the signing of ceasefires over the years with various groups and also the initiative of the Forum for Naga Reconciliation. “This hard earned peace is extremely fragile and difficult to be brought about,” AYO and ASU stated, adding that they do not need the “friends of the hill people” to destroy this hard earned peace.

“It is too precious for us to lose,” the two organsiations stated and appealed to the Assam Rifles to stop creating “mental terrorism.”

DIMAPUR: Angami Yo u t h O r g a n i s a t i o n (AYO) and Angami Students’ Union (ASU) have strongly condemned the raid carried out by Assam Rifles at the residence of Kezhaleo Rülho, a reputed contractor, at Bayavü colony, Kohima on June 20, 2019.

In a joint statement, Angami Youth Organisation president Neinguvotuo Krose, AYO general secretary Kekhrie Pfukha, ASU president Vizokho Zashiimo and Angami Students’ Union general secretary Petekhrietuo Kiewhuo stated that on the night of June 20, the “gun toting Assam Rifles” without any warrant as empowered in AFSPA-1958 raided “a peaceful home” belonging to Kezhaleo Rülho creating mental torture and fear psychosis especially to his young children, wife and parents.

The signatories stated that the “unceasing act” of Assam Rifles raiding houses in the wee hours have become “a compulsive behavior unbefitting of any professional army.”

NEW DELHI, Jun 22 (IANS): In a major relief to trade and businesses, the GST Council, in its first meeting after the PM Narendra Modi government came back to power, extended the cut-off date for filing annual returns, by two months, to August 2019.

Easing the enrolment process for new firms, the Council decided to allow the use of 12-digit Aadhaar number for getting GST registration.

In order to check tax evasion, it also made it mandatory for multiplexes to issue e-tickets.

The Council, chaired

by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, extended the tenure of National Anti-Profiteering Authority by two more years to ensure companies pass on the benefits of lower GST rates to consumers.

Addressing a press conference after the meeting, Revenue Secretary Ajay Bhushan Pandey termed the decision as consumer-friendly.

New Delhi, Jun 22 (PTI): The finance ministry clarified on Saturday that an office order issued by the Department of Expenditure on June 18 regarding disbursal of salary for June is applicable to only an attached office under the department and temporary in nature. “It has been brought to notice that an internal Confidential Office Order pertaining to the Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance is being circulated in various social media platforms,” an official statement said.

It said the Department of Expenditure’s order relating to the disbursal of salary for the month of June is applicable only to an attached office under the department, namely the Controller General of Accounts and officials working in PFMS Project Cell.

With a view to keep the expenditure within in the ceiling of Vote on Account approved by Parliament in the interim Budget, the expenditure department decided that June salaries of Group ‘A’ and ‘B’ officers will be released after passage of the full Budget for 201920, sources said on the June 18 order.

bank since 2008.

It has six branches and offering ATM services under ATM5 network across the island state and two remittance centers, especially serving the large pool of Indian workers at dormitories in the industrial sectors.

Poludasu also acknowledged the stiff competition from FinTech but was quick to assure that banks, as leaders in the financial markets, are adopting technologies at a faster pace.

The SBI plans to offer its YONO app, an omnichannel service at fingertip, to manage a wide range of financial services here.

“YONO SBI has been successful in India, and we are looking at introducing it in Singapore,” Poludasu said on Friday. He said YONO app will fit into the Singapore’s banking systems where advanced technologies are being introduced at faster pace.

Singapore regulatory clearance will be sought to introduce YONO, he added.

During his visit to Singapore on May 31, 2018, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had launched three Indian apps - BHIM, Rupay and SBI app - at a ‘Business,

Innovation and Community Event’.

RuPay digital payments system is linked up with Singapore’s Network for Electronic Transfers (NETS), allowing both to be used for payments in the two countries.

“Disruptive technologies are fast changing the marketing of services across the globe. We in the banking sectors are working hard on innovations and maintain a lead in applying these technologies across our network of global businesses,” stressed Poludasu.

The SBI has also opened its ATMs for remittances for account holders.

“This makes it easy for industrial workers here to transmit money back home quickly through our ATM located at strategic points,” he said.

Poludasu underlined the importance of remittances, which, according to the World Bank, was India’s top earnings at USD 80 billion in 2018 from the global Indian diaspora.

Poludasu said the SBI has served the Singapore businesses community steadily over 42 years, having started as an offshore bank in 1977.

“We are serving the credit needs of Indian businesses and will continue to do so, but we are also scaling up our services with nonIndian businesses,” he said.

passed on to customers and no anti-profiteering takes place, the current provision is that only the penalty of Rs. 25,000 will be imposed in addition to the profiteered amount.

So, the change approved by the Council is that now if profiteered amount is not deposited within 30 days, then the penalty to the extent of 10 per cent of the profiteered amount will be imposed on the company,” he said.

The Council, however, deferred the decision on lowering the GST rate on electric vehicles from 12 per cent to 5 per cent and referred the issue to a committee of officers for further analysis. The issue of lower duty on electric chargers would also be discussed by the committee before taking a final call.

“Both these issues and the third proposal, on reducing the rate on the leasing of electric vehicles have been sent to the fitment committee, and it will deliberate on these proposals and come back to the GST Council on these proposals,” the Revenue Secretary said.

Hectic lobbying by cement companies and builders, however, failed to convince the apex indirect tax body to cut the GST on cement from 28 per cent to 18 per cent.

The automobile sector also did not get any relief from the GST Council.

Singapore, Jun 22 (PTI): The State Bank of India is planning to expand its market in Singapore by enhancing its relationship across small and medium enterprises (SMEs) some of which have strong footholds across Asia Pacific.

Acknowledging the stiff competition from Financial Technology (FinTech) companies, the SBI is also contemplating introducing its YONO SBI app while having opened remittance services to all bank accounts through eRemit and remittance kiosk channels in the city state.

“We are working on extending credit to Singaporebased SMEs, supporting their businesses both locally and regionally,” said SBI Country Head Kishore Kumar Poludasu, who recently took charge of the bank in a marketplace with global trading and financial links.

Singapore SMEs accounts for 65% of employment and contributed SGD 196.8 billion or 49 per cent to the economy in 2017, according to the Department of Statistics here.

“We see the potential of further expanding our services to SMEs,” added Poludasu, anticipating SBI’s growth in line with Singapore’s expansion as an Asian financial hub.

Will respond firmly to any US threat, says Iran DUBAI, JUN 22 (Agencies): Iran said on Saturday it would respond firmly to any U.S. threat against it, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported, amid escalating tension between Tehran and Washington over the shooting down of an unmanned U.S. drone by the Islamic Republic.

On Thursday, an Iranian missile destroyed a U.S. Global Hawk surveillance drone. Tehran said the drone was shot down over its territory and Washington said it had occurred in international airspace.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday he aborted a military strike to retaliate for Iran’s downing of the U.S. drone because it could have killed 150 people, and signalled he was open to talks with Tehran.

“Regardless of any decision they (U.S. officials) make... we will not allow any of Iran’s borders to be violated. Iran will firmly confront any aggression or threat by America,” foreign ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi told Tasnim.

A senior commander of the elite Revolutionary Guards struck a similarly defiant note, in comments quoted by the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).

“This is our response to a violation of Iranian

Curb terror funding by October: FATF warns Pak Paris, Jun 22 (IANS): The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has warned Pakistan to improve its counter-terror financing operations in line with an internationally agreed action plan by October or face action, sources said.

The FATF also expressed its concerns over Pakistan’s failure to complete the action plan first by a January deadline, and again by May. “The FATF strongly urges Pakistan to swiftly complete its action plan by October 2019 when the last set of action plan items are set to expire,” the FATF said in a statement on Friday.

“Otherwise, the FATF will decide the next step at that time for insufficient progress,” the statement added. Pakistan has been already put by the FATF on the “grey list” of countries with insufficient controls to tackle money laundering and terror financing.

The purported wreckage of the American drone is seen displayed by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps.

space and if the violation is repeated then our response will be repeated,” said Brigadier General Amirali Hajizadeh, head of the Guards’ aerospace division.

“It’s possible that this infringement of the Americans was carried out by a general or some operators,” he added. Worries about a confrontation between Iran and the United States have mounted despite Trump saying that he has no appetite to go to war with Iran. Tehran has also said it is not seeking a war but has warned of a “crushing” response if attacked.

“Any mistake by Iran’s enemies, in particular America and its regional allies, would be like firing at a powder keg that will burn America, its interests and

its allies to the ground,” the senior spokesman of Iran’s Armed Forces, Abolfazl Shekarchi, told Tasnim on Saturday.

Iran’s foreign ministry summoned a diplomatic representative of the United Arab Emirates on Saturday because the UAE allowed the drone that was shot down to be launched from a U.S. military base on its territory, the Fars news agency reported.

A senior Arab diplomat said the sharply increased tensions would further harm the crisis-hit Middle East region.

“Confrontation, whatever we think about Trump or Iran, will be disastrous for everyone,” the diplomat told Reuters on condition of anonymity.

Myanmar orders internet shutdown in Rakhine state

YA N G O N, J U N 2 2 (Agencies): Myanmar authorities ordered telecoms companies to shut down internet services in conflicttorn western Myanmar, a leading operator said on Saturday, amid heightening tensions in the region, where government troops are fighting ethnic rebels.

Telenor Group said the Ministry of Transport and Communications directed all telecoms companies to “temporarily” suspend internet services in eight townships in Rakhine and neighbouring Chin states, citing “disturbances of peace and use of internet activities to coordinate illegal activities”.

The shutdown went into effect late on Friday, the statement said.

“Telenor Myanmar has been asking for further clarification on the rationale for the shutdown and emphasized that freedom of expression through access to telecom services should be maintained for humanitarian purposes,” the group said. A spokesman for the transport and communica-

tions ministry declined to comment, referring questions to another spokesman who did not answer phone calls.

Rakhine state came to global attention after about 730,000 Rohingya Muslims crossed into Bangladesh fleeing a military crackdown in response to militant attacks in 2017.

U.N. investigators have called for senior military officers to be prosecuted over allegations of mass killings, gang rapes and arson. The military denies widespread wrongdoing.

More recently, civilians have been caught up in clashes between the military and the Arakan Army, an insurgent group that recruits from the mainly Buddhist ethnic Rakhine population and is fighting for greater autonomy for the state.

Since November, the fighting has displaced tens of thousands of people across a large part of central and northern Rakhine and part of neighbouring Chin, according to the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

PHNOM PENH, JUN 22 (AFP): At least seven people died Saturday when an under-construction building owned by a Chinese company collapsed at a Cambodian beach resort, officials said, as rescuers scoured the giant rubble heap for survivors.

The building went down before sunrise in the casino-resort town Sihanoukville in southwestern Cambodia, a rapidly developing tourist hotspot awash with Chinese investments.

Four people have been arrested in connection with the accident, including the Chinese building owner, the head of the construction firm and the contractor. A Cambodian landowner has also been held at provincial headquarter for questioning.

was almost 80 per cent complete when it crashed down early Saturday, the deadliest such accident in recent years in Cambodia.

“Now the death toll from the building collapse is seven,” Sihanoukville city police chief Thul Phorsda said, after officials earlier pinned the number of dead at three.

At least 21 people were reported injured -- several critically -- and at least three of the dead were Cambodian, including two workers and a translator.

Rescue workers in hard hats pulled people from a mountain of concrete, wood and twisted metal.

Medical workers attended to a shirtless injured man as concerned crowds built up around the site, while scores of soldiers and

police joined the search for survivors.

“Teams continue to search for more victims,” a provincial official statement said, adding that an investigation into the accident had been launched.

There was no confirmation of precisely how many people were at the building at the time of the collapse, though earlier officials said 30 people were feared trapped.

Around 50 workers would normally have been on the site at the time, Preah Sihanouk governor Yun Min said.

The building belonged to a Chinese national who rented the land from a Cambodian owner. The construction firm and contractor were both Chinese-owned as well.

9 killed in Hawaii aircraft crash HK protesters disperse after blockading police hq

Smoke is seen at the crash site of a twin-engine skydiving aircraft that killed nine persons on Saturday in Hawaiian island of Oahu.

LOS ANGELES, JUN 22 (IANS): A twin-engine skydiving aircraft has crashed near an airfield on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, killing all nine passengers on board, authorities said.

“There were 9 souls on board the King Air twin engine plane that went down near Dillingham Airfield with no apparent survivors,” the Hawaii Department of Transportation tweeted on

Friday.

Honolulu Fire Department received the first call of the downed craft at about 6.30 p.m. (local time) on Friday and when firefighters arrived, they found the wreckage of the craft fully engulfed in flames, Hawaii News Now website reported.

The plane crashed on North Shore in Oahu, part of the Hawaiian island

chain and home to the state capital, Honolulu. Photos showed smoke billowing from miles away. It was not yet clear whether the plane was taking off or landing.

Dillingham Airfield, 56 km northwest of downtown Honolulu, is a general aviation airport operated by the Hawaii Department of Transportation under a 25-year lease from the US Army.

H O N G KO N G, J U N 22 (Agencies): Thousands of protesters who had blockaded police headquarters in Asia’s leading financial centre had mostly dispersed by Saturday morning with some roads reopened for traffic as normal but it remained unclear whether further mass protests would take place.

Hong Kong has been bracing for a third weekend of widespread protests against an extradition bill that has plunged the Chinese-ruled city into crisis, posing the greatest popular challenge to President Xi Jinping since he took power in 2012.

On Friday groups of mostly students wearing hard hats, goggles and face masks set up roadblocks and trapped vehicles in a generally peaceful protest to demand that leader Carrie Lam, who promoted and then postponed the bill, scrap it altogether.

Police removed barricades early on Saturday

A year later, Thai boys rescued from cave grapple with fame BA N G KO K , J U N 2 2 (IANS): A year after they found themselves trapped for over two weeks inside a cave in northern Thailand, 12 boys from a youth soccer team and their coach are still grappling with their new-found fame after their harrowing rescue operation captured the world’s attention and changed their lives forever in many ways.

The kids are now back in school and the coach opened his own soccer academy in a bid to return to normalcy, though they all find it hard to avoid the spotlight as they are constantly recognized and their social media accounts boast tens of thousands of followers, Efe news reported.

They have been on several international tours and also have a Netflix movie deal. The minors - members of the team known as the Wild Boars aged between 11-16 - had entered a grotto in Chiang Rai province with their coach on June 23, 2018, when monsoon rains flooded the cave, leaving them trapped inside.

As days passed following their disappearance, the public started to fear for

A year later, Thai boys rescued from cave grapple with fame. their lives, but they were all eventually rescued by an international team of divers in an operation broadcast by media around the globe, leading the Wild Boars to become national heroes.

Due to their new contractual obligations, the boys and the coach are prevented from talking to the press, while a company formed by their parents - 13 Tham Luang (based on the cave’s name) - now looks after their

image rights.

“Now the kids are fine, they go to school normally,” said Lt Gen. Weerachon Sukhontapatipak, the spokesperson for the Thai Prime Minister’s office and head of the government committee created to uphold the children’s interests.

“After being trapped in the cave, they say they have gained a lot of experience. It was a big deal,” he said.

According to the

spokesman, the production company SK Global was still immersed in the pre-production phase of a movie project that will be distributed via the streaming platform Netflix. The film is set to be co-directed by American director Jon M. Chu (“Crazy Rich Asians”) and Thai filmmaker Nattawut Poonpiriya (“Bad Genius”).

The team’s coach, Eakapol Chanthawong,

launched his own soccer academy in the small village of Mae Sai where he resides, located near the Tham Luang cave. He has more than 183,000 followers on his Facebook page.

At least two books about the rescue have been published so far.

The ordeal dee ply moved the Southeast Asian country: While the boys remained trapped, solidarity poured in from all corners, including several gurus and monks who attempted to locate them telepathically.

The group was finally found by two British divers on July 2. They had survived in the darkness without food, just by drinking the water that filtered through the cave’s walls.

Between July 8-10, the kids and the coach - who did not know how to swim - were sedated and brought out of the cave by specialized diving teams wading through a dangerous 4-kilometre underwater route.

Two months later, the coach and three of the kids - all of whom were stateless, as they belonged to ethnic minorities - were given Thai citizenship.

In a statement early on Saturday, police said the acts of the protesters had seriously affected their work including the provi-

sion of emergency services to the public.

“Police have shown the greatest tolerance to the protesters...but their means of expressing views have become illegal, irrational and unreasonable. Police will stringently follow up on these illegal activities.”

Saudi Arabia 1st Arab country to get FATF membership

SL extends emergency for third month after Easter bombings

RIYADH, JUN 22 (IANS): Saudi Arabia has become the first Arab country to be granted full membership of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) following the group’s annual general meeting in the US. The kingdom’s accession came as the global money laundering watchdog celebrated the 30th anniversary of its first meeting held in Paris in 1989, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

Saudi Arabia which had received an invitation from the FATF at the beginning of 2015 to join as an “observer member”, was admitted into the organization after the group’s meeting in Orlando, Florida, on Friday.

Saudi Arabia had been a founding member of the MENA arm of the group since November 2004, and its full membership came after it was reported the kingdom had made “tangible progress” and for its efforts in implementing the FATF’s guidelines.

C O LO M B O, J U N 2 2 (Agencies): Sri Lanka on Saturday extended a law granting security forces emergency powers into third month following the Easter Day bomb attacks on hotels and churches that killed more than 250 people.

Allowed to detain and interrogate suspects without court orders, Sri Lanka’s police and military have arrested more than 100 suspects in the crackdown after the Islamist militant attacks.

President Maithripala Sirisena issued orders for the law to be extended for another month from midnight on Friday, according to a gazette notification seen

by Reuters.

Authorities say the threat of more attacks has been contained and security services have dismantled most of the network linked to the bombings, but operations were still underway to find any remaining suspects.

Sirisena said in the notification that extending emergency rule was “in the interest of public security, the preservation of public

order and the maintenance of supplies and services essential to the life of the community.”

The attacks sent shockwaves through the Indian Ocean island state, which had enjoyed relative peace since a civil war ended a decade ago. The economy has slowed worryingly, forcing the government to seek foreign loans, and the lucrative tourism industry has been hit.

Despite three advance intelligence reports from India that attacks were being planned, Sri Lanka’s top defence officials failed to act before the Easter Day suicide bombings by Islamist militants that targeted three churches and three luxury hotels.

Jagger returns to the stage BHSS organises pre-summer kids’ Military vehicle made by forMick the first time since heart surgery fest & spiritual awakening programme Volvo can drive sideways

A

rquus has shared incredible footage of its new tank that can drive sideways and could soon be used by the French army.

T h e Vo l vo - ow n e d company, which focuses on battlefield-ready vehicles, has named its new light tank Scarabée, or beetle, reports Popular Science.

It has two engines in the back - one electric and one diesel - which help it reach top speeds of 75mph (120kmph), despite weighing 6.6 tonnes.

Arquus’ CEO Emmanuel Lavacher told Popular Science: ‘We really worked on the speed because that is also a form of protection.

‘If you put a lot of protective armor on a vehicle it makes it very heavy, big, and therefore slow unless you give it a large, powerful engine - in which case you no longer have a small, agile military vehicle.’

Arquus’ new vehicle, which is 6ft (1.8m) tall and 15ft (4.6m) across, is just one of the candidates being considered as a replacement for the French army’s current fleet of light-armored vehicles by 2025.

The firm used composite materials to provide the best protection for the four-manned vehicle, which can also be remote controlled.

Each of the vehicle’s wheels are powered, which

gives it its crab-like ability to drive sideways - which can be used to avoid mines with ease.

A spokesperson for Aquus said: ‘That way you can approach the enemy without either turning your back to him or being full front on, but you could also drive crab-like behind a ridge, for example, and yet still have your roof-top gun with its limited turn radius pointing at the enemy.’

This also means the huge tank can be turned around on the spot and can make it around extremely tight corners.

Scarabée can also be dropped from a place without a parachute - provided it is from a low height.

As well as carrying two tonnes of equipment inside, Arquus has also designed a trailer that can hold double that.

The trailer can also be remote controlled and can move independently when called for as it is robotised.

In 2009, France launched a large modernisation programme for its army dubbed Project Scorpion.

ethesda Higher Secondary School (BHSS) Dimapur organised spiritual awakening programme for different categories of students on different themes like, “God made me,” “Unlimited Love” and “He is calling you” from June 19 – 21.

Keeping in view that the needs, interests and aptitudes of children at different levels vary, the three-day programme was interesting to notice children involving in extra-curricular/non-

scholastic activities happily after hectic preparations for first term/mid-term examinations just before the summer break. Children participated enthusiastically in non academic and spiritual activities like praise and worship, skit on King’s secret garden, games, songs, workshop on creativity and sharing the word of God. Young children listening to relevant Bible stories with great curiosity was one of the additional activities during

this year’s programme.

A good number of ex-students motivated the children by assisting in various activities throughout the programme.

Administrator of the school, Esther Murry led and guided the children in all activities. Chairman of the school, Rev. Moses Murry and resource persons were the Aalumnis of the school. The children of different levels were highly enlightened spiritually and were blessed.

Chile through to Copa quarters

Chile players celebrate after scoring a goal during their Copa America match against Ecuador.

Salvador, Jun 22 (Agencies): Alexis Sanchez shrugged off an ankle injury and continued his resurgent form at the Copa America as the Chile striker fired his side to a 2-1 victory over Ecuador on Friday which took the holders into the quarter-finals of the competition.

Chile took the lead in the eighth minute when Jose Fuenzalida volleyed into the net but Ecuador was awarded a penalty when goalkeeper Gabriel

Arias clattered Jhegson Mendez, allowing Enner Valencia to level from the spot in the 26th.

Sanchez, who had ended a barren five-month spell by scoring in Monday’s 4-0 win against Japan, put Chile ahead early in the second half, expertly guiding a bouncing cross into the net with one touch.

Ecuador, who were hammered 4-0 by Uruguay in their opening game, rarely threatened again and saw defender Gabriel Achilier

Nagaland Post, Dimapur SUNDAY, JUNE 23, 2019

receive a straight red card in stoppage time for a rash tackle on Arturo Vidal, who had to be taken off.

Sanchez later revealed he had been playing with an ankle injury sustained in the first half.

“After a cross, I rolled my ankle but I put a bandage on it, I took a pill for the pain and I came out again,” he told reporters.

“I think I have a sprain, I was playing with pain but I hope it’s not too serious.”

Chile coach Reinaldo

Rueda praised Sanchez for playing on, adding that the ankle was not the same one he injured in May. “He was evaluated by the doctors at halftime who said he could continue, although he put lots of ice on it at halftime. He made a huge effort in the second half,” he said.

“We’ll evaluate it again but we hope it isn’t serious.”

Chile, Copa champions in 2015 and 2016, lead Group C on six points.

Uruguay is second on four with Japan third on one and Ecuador bottom with no points.

Ecuador still has an outside chance of sneaking into the quarter-finals as one of the two best-ranked third-place finishers but they must win their game against Japan on Monday and hope other results go their way.

Their coach, Hernan Dario Gomez, gave the briefest of post-match news conferences, saying he was not in the mood to take questions and gave a short assessment of the game before leaving.

Pak, SA gear up for must-win battle

London, Jun 22 (IANS): It will not be any regular World Cup encounter when Pakistan take on South Africa at the Lord’s on Sunday.

Two teams with their backs to the wall will be clashing at the historic ground to stay alive in the 2019 edition of the World Cup. While Pakistan have stayed true to their unpredictable nature -- losing to West Indies, Australia and India while beating hosts England - South Africa have been the biggest disappointment of this edition of the showpiece event as they have failed to even stage a fight.

Morning has clearly shown the day for the Proteas. Starting off with a 104-run loss to England in the opening game of the tournament, they then lost to Bangladesh by 21 runs before India thrashed them by six wickets. A no-result against Windies later (due to rain), they beat Afghanistan.

But New Zealand beat them by four wickets to push them back to the bottom half of the points table.

For Pakistan, nothing has clicked. While the batting has been mediocre to

Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Hafeez cheer their team-mates during a nets session

say the least, the bowlers have failed to pick wickets at the top half of the innings.

The fielding has been below average as usual.

But for South Africa, it has been a case of surrendering even before the choke has been applied.

While their batting has left a lot to be desired, the worst part has been the fielding of a side that took world cricket by storm with its athletic fielders since their return to international cricket in 1992.

The injury woes to the

pacers haven’t helped either.

But all in all, it has been a poor show from a team that was considered contenders for the semi-final slot along with India, England and Australia.

On Sunday, it will be all about holding their nerves and executing their skills as pointed by Pakistan pacer Wahab Riaz. The fast bowler has also rung the warning bell for the opposition and said that the Pakistan players have discussed their mistakes and are looking to make up for lost time.

Man Utd willing to sell Lukaku De Ligt decides to join Juve Morning Club Kohima holds monthly badminton tourney

Romelu Lukaku

Lo n d o n, J u n 2 2 (Agencies): Manchester United are willing to listen to offers for Romelu Lukaku and would be prepared to sell for around £75m.

United are understood to only want a cash deal for Lukaku, who joined United from Everton in 2017 under Jose Mourinho in a deal worth an initial £75m.

Last month it was reported that new Inter Milan manager Antonio Conte wants to sign Lukaku and Chelsea’s Victor Moses this summer. However United are yet to receive an offer.

Former Chelsea boss Conte tried to sign Lukaku in the summer of 2017 when he was still at Stamford Bridge, but the striker opted to move to United instead.

Inter Milan will be released by UEFA from a Financial Fair Play (FFP) settlement agreement on June 30 and are unlikely to move for Lukaku before then.The Serie A side reached an agreement with UEFA in May 2015 after breaching FFP regulations.

They were punished with heavy fines and limited to a squad of 21 players in

the Champions League last season, down from the usual 25. Inter also had to submit itself to four years of monitoring by UEFA. According to Sky Sports News, Inter must raise over £30m before they can afford to buy Lukaku.

Selling Mauro Icardi would help Inter in their pursuit of Lukaku but they have yet to receive any offers for the Argentine striker.

Lukaku has scored 42 goals in 96 games for United, but failed to score in his last eight games this season and often found Marcus Rashford chosen ahead of him as the team’s central striker after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer became manager.

The 26-year-old made it clear earlier this month that playing for Conte would appeal to him.

Lukaku told Italian outlet Sportmediaset, “It’s good that Conte went to Inter, for me he is the best coach in the world. I am a big Serie A fan, those close to me know that I have always wanted to play in the English league and in the Italian one: I love Italy.”

Matthijs de Ligt

TURIN, Jun 22 (Agencies): Netherlands teenage centre back Matthijs de Ligt has agreed a deal to join Italian champions Juventus from Ajax Amsterdam, Sky Italy reported on Saturday.

According to the report, Juventus will pay 62 million pounds ($78.99 million) for the Ajax captain, 19, who was one of the key players in the Dutch side’s thrilling run to the Champions League semi-finals.

He will become new Juventus head coach Maurizio Sarri’s first signing after the Italian was appointed as Massimiliano Allegri’s successor last week.

De Ligt said earlier this month that he was asked about a move to Juventus

by Cristiano Ronaldo at the

end of the Nations League final after Portugal beat the Netherlands 1-0. “I didn’t understand him at first. I was a little shocked, so I laughed. But I didn’t say anything,” De Ligt had told the Netherlands’ NOS television.

“So soon after the game you are not at all concerned with it. You are disappointed that you have lost and that is the only thing you are thinking about.”

Spanish media reports had said the highly-rated player was expected to join Barcelona and link up with Ajax’s Frenkie de Jong, 22, who is set to move to Spain next month.

De Ligt broke into the Ajax first team aged 17 in 2016, becoming a regular starter the following season and soon became the most coveted defender in Europe thanks to his strength, anticipation and ability on the ball. He played 90 minutes in 17 of 18 matches and scored three times in Ajax’s Champions League campaign, which culminated in an agonising semi-final defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on away goals.

India beat Afghanistan by 11 runs in last over thriller

Southampton, Jun 22 (PTI): Mohammed Shami’s last-over hat-trick saved India from a mighty scare as they managed to pip Afghanistan by 11 runs to inch closer towards semi-finals.

Shami, playing his first match, not only successfully defended 16 runs off the last over but also dismissed the dangerous Mohammed Nabi (52 off 55 balls), Aftab Alam (0) and Mujeeb ur Rahman (0) off successive deliveries to complete the rare feat. Afghanistan were bowled out for 213 in pursuit of a manageable 225 run target which at one stage looked gettable after the Indian middle-order flopped in their first World Cup test.

It was superb death bowling by Jasprit Bumrah (2/39 off 10 overs) and Shami that changed the complexion of the game.

As much as Shami deserves the credit, Bumrah deserves equal plaudits for giving five runs in the penultimate over.

Bumrah was lethal as ever and his two wickets in the 29th over literally tilted the

game before the minnows made another comeback.

From a relatively comfortable 106 for 2, it became 106 for 4 with Afghanistan losing the momentum.

But Nabi (52) had other ideas as he tried his best but that ‘exclusive 60 plus stand’ that is mandatory in these kind of chases didn’t happen. Yuzvendra Chahal (2/36) and Kuldeep Yadav (0/39) were remarkably consistent with their lines as they never really let the batsmen get away.

Earlier, skipper Virat Kohli (67 off 63 balls) again batted effortlessly before Afghanistan’s IPL stars Mohammed Nabi (9-0-33-2), Mujeeb ur Rahman (10-126-1) and Rashid Khan (100-38-1) put brakes on other star batsmen.

MS Dhoni (28 off 52 balls) and Kedar Jadhav (52 off 68 balls) were unable to accelerate against the slow bowlers adding only 57 runs in 14 overs. Dhoni was relieved from his miseries

by Rashid as the desperate former skipper came down the track and was stumped.

The amount of pressure that the duo put on Hardik Pandya was evident as he was forced to slog from ball one but failed to deliver this time getting out to pacer Aftab Alam.

Skipper Gulbadin Naib (2/51) also impressed with his seam-up stuff dismissing Kedar off the penultimate delivery of the innings.

Before this game, India lost 14 wickets in the three completed games and none of the wickets went to the spinners. It started with India’s in-form opener Rohit Sharma being beaten by a doosra from Mujeeb.

KL Rahul despite scoring 30 could never really get the measure of Mujeeb. The itch to outsmart Nabi cost Rahul dearly as he tried a reverse sweep only to find Hazratullah Zazai at short third-man after a 57-run stand with Kohli.

Brief scores India: 224/8 (Kohli 67, K Jadhav 52; M Nabi 2/33, G Naib 2/51) beat Afghanistan: 213 all out (M Nabi 52, R Shah 36; M Shammi 4/40)

Zimbabwe cricket board suspended Harare, Jun 22 (IANS): The board of Zimbabwe Cricket was suspended with immediate effect by the Sports and Recreation Commission which is a government parastatal and also the governing organisation of all registered sporting associations in the country.

Zimbabwe Cricket’s acting Managing Director Givemore Makoni was also banned from his position.

An interim committee to run cricket has been announced and will have David Ellman-Brown, Ahmed Ibrahim, Charlie Robertson, Cyprian Mandenge, Robertson Chinyengetere, Sekesai Nhokwara and Duncan Frost. The development came on the back of the SRC issuing a directive that Zimbabwe Cricket’s elective general meeting be suspended, after alleged complaints about the nomination process and the violation of the board’s constitution.
