DIMAPUR, JUN 29 (NPN): Naga Students’ Federation (NSF), while appreciating the state government for approving the ILP committee report in February this year, has questioned the government for the delay in implementing the Inner Line Permit (ILP) in the entire state till date.

Since the committee on Inner Line Permit had already submitted its report to the state government on February 15 and the same approved, NSF president Ninoto Awomi and general secretary Liremo R. Kikon, in a representation to the chief minister, demanded immediate implementation of ILP in the entire state without any further delay.

Asser ting that the implementation of ILP to the entire state and Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation (BEFR) Act 1873

has been a long pending demand of the NSF, the federation cautioned that the federation would no more be able to withstand the delaying tactics, which the enemies of Nagas’ are taking advantage of.

While lauding the government for assuring the people to deliver its commitment, NSF said the PIL filed by one outsider Ashwani Kumar Upadhyay in the Supreme Court was disturbing as it was solely intended to stall the implementation of ILP in the entire state and projecting the Nagas people in bad light to the outside world.

“To safeguard the Naga ethnicity as an entity of the land, the coverage of the ILP area to the entire state is of paramount importance, thus, the reassurance from the state government is much appreciated,” the federation stated.

Organizations demand quality roads

CVC asks govt to repair, construct roads Tuli bodies demand good roads

DIMAPUR, JUN 29 (NPN): Chümoukedima Village Council (CVC) has expressed dismay over the dismal condition of roads under Chümoukedima jurisdiction, left neglected by the PWD department.

Despite Chümoukedima town being recognized as one of the fastest growing township in India with an exploding population, CVC chairman Razouvotuo Chatsu wondered as to why the town continues to have the most neglected roads.

Chatsu said not a single road within Chümoukedima is pliable, as no repair works or road construction had been taken up for the past 20 years. This has made the public undergo untold hardships even to commute for basic amenities and the worst affected are the school children and ailing patients, in need of medical attention, who has to suffer through the trench-like potholes and natural reservoirs of rainwater on the main roads, he added.

He pointed out that the major

lifeline road-- 7th mile-Shokhuvi road connecting Peren district, 2nd Gate to Chümoukedima village which also connects the first and only NIT of the state besides the colony and ward approach roads are in pathetic, deplorable condition, unfit even for commuters on foot.

With the arrival of the monsoon season, Chatsu said the conditions of the roads are expected to worsen and dilemma of the public will only follow suit.

While assuring fullest cooperation to the government for any developmental works, CVC appealed to the government, particularly PWD minister and PWD (R&B) and Ghaspani-I MLA to take cognizance of the untold hardships of the people.

The council also urged the government to include repair works/ road constructions in the work programme on priority list of road construction projects to be undertaken for the current year 2019.

Expressing delight at the proposed road construction from Nagaland gate (Watiyongpang) to Arm post (Tsusangra) that was set to begin soon, the Tuli Town Ward Union (TTWU) and Tzudikong Adhoc Town Council (TATC) have demanded that road must be constructed as per the technical specification laid down by the Centre. In a press note, TTWU chairman Temsuinba and TATC chairman O Benjung cautioned that failure to carry out the road construction as per the work order, the two bodies would take necessary action against the contractors.

They said that Amguri-Mokokchung road (NH-61) via Tuli was one of the important roads in Nagaland, the lifeline of not only Mokokchung district, but also connects Tuensang, Zunheboto and Wokha districts.

However, the unions said that due to poor condition of Mokokchung-Mariani road via Changki village, the AmguriMokokchung road had to bear heavy burden for smooth transportation. Since last three years, they said the highway has gone from bad to worse, adding that the vehicles especially small cars find it difficult to ply the road.

Jamir quoted, “Life is not about how you live because it’s not in our control, it’s in God’s hand, life is about how we live it and must keep in mind no matter how much we live life is always short, and therefore it is important to live it well”.

Biren had left Imphal yesterday (Friday) along with some ministers and MLAs after he was summoned by the BJP national general secretary at party level.

The political crisis over power tussle in the coalition government surfaced in the last week of May and it was opened in the first week of current month June after six of the cabinet minister out of 11 excluding the chief minister stayed away from attending cabinet meeting chair by chief minister in Ukhrul district headquarters. Some section of the MLAs of the BJP, has been pressing the Central leaders of the party to replace Biren

the coalition government led by BJP was not in the interest of the state and its people.

Addressing media persons at Imphal Congress Bhavan, MPCC president Gaikhangam expressed concern over the escalating crisis in the government, saying that “it is not in the interest of the state but for their personal gain.”

He said that even though the BJP repeatedly denied conflict within the party, everybody knew that there was power tussle in the government. Even though BJP said that it is a family matter, Gaikhangam said that being a responsible citizen and a responsible party everyone has the right to look into the matters as it will affect the governance.

Gaikhangam slammed the cabinet ministers who stayed away from cabinet meeting and called them irresponsible, while adding that cabinet meeting usually discuss and adopt decisions related with development and welfare of the people.

GUWAHATI, JUN 29 (AGENCIES): Like many parts of Northeast India, Assam has also witnessed below normal rainfall this June, reports Northeast Now news.

In previous years, during Ambubachi or Amati, Assam witnessed rains for several days.

But this year, during Ambubachi (from June 22 to June 26), nothing such had happened. However, light rainfall gave some respite from hot weather.

As per an India Meteorological Department (IMD) release, the actual rainfall, witnessed in the Northeast during the peRegd. No. 1895/19

riod from June 20, 2019 to June 26, 2019, was below normal at 62.6 mm while the normal rainfall was 91.4 mm. The departure from the Low Pressure Area (LPA) was -31%.

The India Meteorological Department also stated that for the country as a whole, the cumulative rainfall during this year’s southwest monsoon season up to June 26, 2019 is below LPA by 36 per cent.

During the period from June 1, 2019 to June 26, 2019, the Northeast region witnessed the actual rainfall at 171.2 mm, which is below the normal

GUWAHATI, JUN 29 (AGENCIES): Elephants of Assam, be it in the captive or in the wild, have been the worst victims of the illegal animal trade in India, reports Northeast Now news.

According to reports compiled by the Northeast Now, a total of 61 elephants had been sent out of Assam between 2008 and 2015.

While elephant smugglers eyed the captive-born elephants for sale outside the state, even juvenile elephants were caught from the jungles, for the illegal trade.

Unfortunately, there is no record of the return of the 61 elephants with the Assam Forest Department.

And in most cases, the forest officials don’t know the present locations and well being of the elephants.

As per the record, in 2009, as many as 15 elephants were sent outside Assam. Similarly, 20 el-

ephants were transported in 2014 from the state.

It is definite that all the elephants which were sent out of Assam between 2008 and 2015 were sold at high prices.

Fearing that the unscrupulous traders would sell more and more elephants from Assam, on September 24, 2015, O.P. Pandey, the then Chief Wildlife Warden of Assam had issued an order and stopped movement of elephants to other states.

Pandey’s order (WL/ FG7/16/TP/Pt-C/201415) was under Section 43(2) of the Wildlife (Protection Act, 1972, and movement of elephants to other states will remain suspended till further order.

Interestingly, even after O.P. Pandey’s retirement, there has been no movement of elephants from Assam to any other state from 2016 to 2018.

It is still not known whether Ranjana Gupta, the incumbent Chief Wildlife

Warden has revoked O.P. Pandey’s order banning movement of elephants outside the state or not.

Can the Assam Forest Department allow transportation of any elephant outside the state without revoking O.P. Pandey’s order?

While animal rights activists fought tooth and nail to stop the transportation of the four elephants to the Jagannath Temple in Assam, the issue of O.P. Pandey’s order may again put the Assam Forest Department on the back foot.

OP Pandey’s successor, Bikash Brahma had also initiated a lot of steps to stop transfer of elephants from Assam to other states.

Brahma had framed a set of strict rules on elephant transportation.

Brahma had vetoed the set of rules by R.K. Borah, a government advocate of the Gauhati High Court, and had even placed it for approval of the Assam cabinet.

rainfall of 291.5 mm. This is below LPA by -41 pc.

Due to this weather condition, the people of Assam have experienced extreme heat this June.

However, the IMD hopes that a Low Pressure Area is very likely to form over north Bay of Bengal and neighbourhood around June 30, which

is likely to become more marked subsequently.

The India Meteorological Department forecasts “fairly widespread to widespread rainfall” over Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram & Tripura, West Bengal & Sikkim during the week.

The teachers, who cleared Teachers’ Eligibility Test (TET) seven years back, have demanded regularization of their services along with security without any pre-condition.

Around 20,000 TETqualified teachers have participated in the ‘Dispur Chalo’ programme.

The multi-pur pose sports complex of the Veterinary Science College at Khanapara has been filled with members of the All Asom Prathamik Tet Uttirna Sikshak Samaj.

cave meditation at Kedarnath 15 killed in Pune wall crash; builders booked Modi’s drawing more pilgrims: Officials

PUNE, JUN 29 (IANS): At least 15 people, mostly labourers hailing from West Bengal and Bihar, were killed and three others injured when a boundary wall of a posh building collapsed here early on Saturday, officials said.

Taking a grim view of the tragedy, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis ordered the Pune Collector to conduct a detailed probe into the incident in Kondwa as dramatic videos on social media showed cars lined up next to the structure nosedive. “Extremely saddened to know about loss of lives in the Pune wall collapse incident,” said Fadnavis, announcing a compensation of Rs 500,000 to the kin of each deceased and Rs 25,000 for each injured in the tragedy, the biggest in the current monsoon season.

Governor C.V. Rao also expressed grief over the incident and said “every life lost was precious” while wishing speedy recovery to the injured. The Pune police have filed cases around a dozen persons including the top officials of Kanchan Builders and Alcon Stylus, their engineers and contractors for the tragedy, charg-

ing them with negligence and culpable homicide not amounting to murder. The accused include Jagdishprasad Agrawal, Sachin Jagdishprasad Agrawal, Rajesh Jagdishprasad Agrawal, Vivek Sunil Agrawal, Vipul Sunil Agrawal, Pankaj Vora, Suresh Shah, Rashmikant Gandhi, officials said.

It was around 2.15 a.m.

when the compound wall of Alcon Stylus residential building suddenly came crashing down trapping the victims still asleep in their huts, police and NDRF officials said.

Around half a dozen vehicles parked near the compound wall also were dragged down as a portion of the earth caved in and

crashed onto the hutments below. Teams of rescuers who rushed to the spot managed to rescue just three people alive, including two minors. Most of them were labourers, the officials said.

The dead included five children. Ongoing work to rescue some others feared trapped in the rubble was

hampered by intermittent monsoon showers. Pune Collector Naval Kishore Ram said that the wall crashed owing to the heavy rains experienced in the city since Friday. “Negligence of the builders is coming to light. Deaths of 15 persons is not a small matter. They are mostly labourers from Bihar and West Bengal. The government will provide all help to them,” Ram told media persons.

As announced by Pune Mayor Mukta Tilak, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) slapped a ‘Stop Work’ order to an adjoining building of the same company where construction activities are underway.

Pune Guardian Minister Chandrakant Patil who also rushed to the tragedy site this afternoon, warned that no guilty would be spared and directed the officials to submit a probe report within a week.

Opposition Congress state President Ashok Chavan demanded that the government should take stringent against all those found guilty for it and take measures to provide relief to the families of the victims and survivors.

Narendra Modi meditating at the ‘dhyan gufa’ (meditation cave) at Kedarnath, Uttarakhand. (File)

DEHRADUN, JUN 29 (PTI): The cave at the Kedarnath shrine where Prime Minister Narendra Modi meditated last month has seen an unprecedented boost in popularity, with large number of devotees logging into the GMVN website daily to book the facility online.

The “dhyan gufa” (meditation cave) is booked for the whole of July and there are also advance bookings for different dates in August, September and October, Garhwal Mandal Vikas Nigam Ltd (GMVN) General Manager B L Rana

said. People from different parts of the country are logging into the GMVN website to book the facility, he said. Since the prime minister’s visit in May, not a single day has passed when the “dhyan gufa” was not occupied by someone, the GMVN official said.

The growing popularity of the unique facility in the serene environs of the 12,500 feet shrine in the Garhwal Himalayas has prompted the district administration to plan three more meditation caves in its vicinity, Rudrapradrayag District Magistrate Mangesh

Ghildiyal told PTI. “We are planning to build three more such caves close to the existing one. In fact work on one has already started and the sites for the other two on the surrounding hills have also been identified,” he said.

Ghildiyal said the “gufa” has been in existence for nearly a year now but people have started showing interest only after the prime minister meditated there on the night of May 18.

When Modi came to visit the shrine, a photograph of the PM wrapped in a saffron shawl, sitting inside the cave with his eyes shut in a pose of meditation had gone viral on social media, giving the newly added tourist attraction the much needed promotional push, the DM said. Better facilities created for pilgrims at Kedarnath coupled with the prime minister’s increased visits (Modi visited the shrine four times during his first tenure as PM) have even contributed to a dramatic rise in footfall at the Himalayan temple, which received a record 7,62,000 pilgrims in 50 days so far this year, Ghildiyal said.

CHANDIGARH, JUN 29 (PTI): The Haryana police Saturday arrested two persons, including a woman, in connection with the murder of a Congress leader in Faridabad.

Police have arrested two persons -- gangster Kaushal’s wife Roshni and their servant Naresh -- in the recent murder of Vikas Chaudhary, Haryana Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Navdeep Singh Virk said.

“Roshni and Naresh made available weapons to accused Vikas alias Bhalla, a resident of village Dhanwapur, and Sachin of village Kheri in Faridabad district, involved in firing along with two other persons,” he said in a statement released on his Twitter account.

Naresh has identified Vikas in the CCTV footage and informed that he is the same person to whom he made available the weapons, Virk added.

He said the car used in the murder of Chaudhary has also been recovered. Police said there was a dispute between Chaudhary and Kaushal over money.

Haryana DGP Manoj Ya-

dava Saturday constituted a special investigation team (SIT) to arrest the remaining accused in this case.

“Sh Manoj Yadava DGP Haryana has constituted an SIT today, headed by Sh Sanjay Kumar CP Faridabad, comprising Sh Narenbdra Bijarniya SP Palwal, ACP Crime Faridabad and others to arrest the remaining accused in this case (sic),” Virk tweeted.

On June 27, Haryana Congress leader Chaudhary was shot dead in broad daylight by unknown assailants in Faridabad.

Congress president Rahul Gandhi had condemned the killing and said it reflects the deteriorating law-and-order situation in the state.

Chaudhary, a spokesperson of the state Congress, was parking his car outside a gym in sector 9 here when the assailants fired 12-15 bullets at the vehicle from two sides, killing him on the spot, police had said. A murder case was registered and several police teams were formed to nab the assailants.Virk had earlier said the killing of Chaudhary appeared to be connected with his own criminal background.

KANPUR (UP) JUN 29 (PTI): A 16-year-old Muslim boy was allegedly beaten by unidentified men here for wearing a traditional skull cap and refusing to chant “Jai Shri Ram”, police said on Saturday.

The incident occurred on Friday when Mohammad Taj, a resident of Barra, was returning home after offering namaz in Kidwai Nagar, the Uttar Pradesh police said.

Three or four unidentified motorcyclists stopped Mohammad Taj few hundred metres from his house for overtaking them and objected to him wearing the skull cap, Station House Officer (Barra) Satish Kumar Singh said.

Satish Kumar Singh said the attackers asked the teenager to chant “Jai Shri Ram”, and kicked and punched him badly after he refused to do so.

“They removed my cap, pinned me down and beat me black and blue while asking me to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’,” Mohammad Taj told PTI. The 16-year-old alleged that the men told him that wearing the skull cap was “not allowed” in the area.

The teenager said he cried for help and begged a couple of shopkeepers to rescue him.

Later, he added, some passersby rushed to help him, following which the attackers fled.

An FIR has been registered under the Indian Penal Code, including Section 153A (causing enmity between people of different religions), the officer said. A medical examination of the victim has been done and efforts are on to identify the accused, Satish Kumar Singh added.

Lucknow, Jun 29 (PTI): As many as 36 office-bearers of Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee resigned from their posts on Saturday continuing the spate of resignations in the party following its Lok Sabha election debacle.

Congress leader in Legislative Council Deepak Singh, the state unit’s senior vice president Ranjit Singh Judev, general secretary Aradhna Mishra Mona, vice president RP Tripathi and many others have resigned taking moral responsibility for the party’s defeat, an official release of the party said.

Others who quit party posts include media coordinator Rajiv Bakshi, joint media

coordinator Piyush Mishra, Onkar Nath SIngh, Amarnath Agarwal and Mukesh Singh Chauhan, Priyanka Gupta and Ashok Singh.

“As you (Rahul) are adamant on your resignation, there is no point in my continuing in the post. I resign as party leader in Legislative Council and as state general secretary,” Deepak Singh said in a statement issued here.

“I request you to withdraw your resignation otherwise we will be forced to take a bigger step,” he added.

More resignations are likely in the party state unit, a senior party leader said.

She also tagged along with her tweet news headlines of different crime reports in the state.

Replying to Priyanka Gandhi’s tweet, the UP police wrote on Twiter, “UP police has initiated strict action against in serious crimes. In the past two years 9,925 criminals were arrested

and 81 killed.

In action under NSA (National Security Act), property worth Rs 200 crores were seized.

“Visible policing, strong monitoring, effective action against hardened criminals & public interaction has enabled us to win the confidence of people. Crime under all major heads is down by 20-35%. We are committed to the safety and security of citizens of the state,” it added.

Pathak said, “The network of criminals has been broken in the state. Our government is acting tough on criminals.

There are incidents of crime due to enmity and prompt action is taken by police wherever crime is reported.”

LUCKNOW, JUN 29 (PTI): Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra Saturday hit out at the Yogi Adityanath government alleging that criminals are “roaming around freely, doing as they like” in Uttar Pradesh, drawing quick retort from the police, which claimed decline in crime in the state.

State Law Minister Brijesh Pathak, when asked about Priyanka Gandhi’s remarks, asserted that since the formation of BJP government in the state, network of criminals has been broken.

The Congress general secretary wrote on Twitter, “In entire Uttar Pradesh criminals are roaming around freely, doing whatever they wish. Criminal incidents continue to happen but it has fallen on deaf ears of the BJP government. Has

After Congress president Rahul Gandhi announced his decision to quit in the wake of the party’s dismal performance in Lok Sabha polls, many leaders of state units have followed suit.

Gandhi has reiterated that there is no going back on his decision, despite requests by leaders from his party and outside to continue in the post.

Earlier, state unit chief Raj Babbar had quit after the party

could win only Rae Bareli seat in Uttar Pradesh and even lost it traditional stronghold of Amethi.

Party MP Vivek Tankha quit as the chairman of the party’s legal and human rights cell on Thursday and urged others to do the same to give a free hand to Rahul Gandhi to restructure the party at all levels.

Concerns over intolerance

U

S secretary of state Mike Pompeo has urged India to stand with the US in speaking out religious freedom, while hailing India as birthplace of four major world religions. In his address at India International Centre on arrival in New Delhi, he called on India to “speak out strongly together in favour of those rights for whenever we do compromise those rights, the world is worse off.” It may also be recalled that then US president Barack Obama during his visit in 2015, had said that India would succeed as long as it was not splintered along religious lines, while addressing students and invitees as the end of his visit to India. Obama was lucid with his message for religious tolerance with a pointed reference to Article 25 of the Indian constitution.

Obama drew many similarities between India and the U.S., saying he was optimistic about their shared future because, “We vote in free elections, reach for similar heights, respect human rights.” He said the U.S. wanted to be “first in line” to build India’s infrastructure, including “roads, ports, bridges and airports.” Mike Pompeo’s indirect hint on the issue of religious tolerance which was earlier voiced with concern by then US president Barack Obama is something which the government of India ought to be concerned with. The spike in lynching, cow vigilante and violence unleashed by right wing extremists have not gone unnoticed in the international fora. Whether under Democrats of Republicans, the US has been vocal against any form of religious intolerance in any part of the globe. It may also be recalled that in 2018, a US federal commission, had voiced concern that religious freedom conditions continued a “downward trend” in India during 2018 as fringe nationalist groups resorted to violence, intimidation, and harassment of non-Hindus and Hindu Dalits. The US Commission for International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) in its 2018 report named the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Sangh Parivar, and Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) as those groups that were alienating non-Hindus or lower-caste Hindus including Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, and Jains, as well as Dalit Hindus, who belong to the lowest rung in the Hindu caste system. While noting India’s known history as a multicultural and multi religious society , the commission said that approximately one-third of state governments enforced anti-conversion and/or anticow slaughter laws against non-Hindus, while fringe mobs engaged in violence against Muslims or Dalits whose families have been engaged in the dairy, leather, or beef trades for generations, and against Christians for proselytizing, it said. The U.N has expressed concern about the targeting of minorities in India and has warned Indian officials of the consequences of their “divisive policies.” Michelle Bachelet, the U.N. human rights chief, said this in her annual report to the U.N. Human Rights Council in March 2019. Some experts charge that BJP’s alleged lack of action could translate to its support of these actions. Much has been said about the rising trend of communal violence unleashed by extreme right wing elements in India since 2014 through blatant hate speeches and rise in hypernationalism.

Now that BJP has come to stay and even if one wondered for how long, the undeniable fact is that fear pervades the polity and this has to be addressed by all freedom loving Indian citizens.

DailyDevotion The Strictest Discipline If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. —Matthew 5:30 Jesus did not say that everyone must cut off his right hand, but that “if your right hand causes you to sin” in your walk with Him, then it is better to “cut it off.” There are many things that are perfectly legitimate, but if you are going to concentrate on God you cannot do them. Your right hand is one of the best things you have, but Jesus says that if it hinders you in following His precepts, then “cut it off.” The principle taught here is the strictest discipline or lesson that ever hit humankind.

When God changes you through regeneration, giving you new life through spiritual rebirth, your life initially has the characteristic of being maimed.

There are a hundred and one things that you dare not do— things that would be sin for you, and would be recognized as sin by those who really know you. But the unspiritual people around you will say, “What’s so wrong with doing that? How absurd you are!”

There has never yet been a saint who has not lived a maimed life initially. Yet it is better to enter into life maimed but lovely in God’s sight than to appear lovely to man’s eyes but lame to God’s. At first, Jesus Christ through His Spirit has to restrain you from doing a great many things that may be perfectly right for everyone else but not right for you. Yet, see that you don’t use your restrictions to criticize someone else.

The Christian life is a maimed life initially, but in Matthew 5:48 Jesus gave us the picture of a perfectly well-rounded life— “You shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.”

How we contribute to society’s ethical and moral decline

n my previous articles, I’ve stressed the essentiality of introspecting into ourselves since we are all major contributors to what our society has become. Without regurgitating what I’ve formerly pointed out, I would like to cite some reallife examples to substantiate all that I have been asserting. These examples, I hope, will help the readers to grasp the subtle and implicit ways in which most of us, myself included, contribute to the perpetuation of our society’s ethical erosion.

Let us look at the case of MKR Pillai, retired Nagaland Police (NP) personnel from Kerala, who built a Rs. 4000 crore business empire; just to be clear, Four Thousand Crore business empire. Pillai, a native of Kerala, started his career as a constable and retired as Additional Superintendent of Police. After his retirement, he was appointed as a Consultant to Nagaland Police managing its motor transport wing. The question is: where did he amass all that wealth? I-T raids and investigations in 2017 revealed that he had built such an empire from the mismanagement of funds with impunity thanks to his close connections with Nagaland politicians, senior officials, and previous Governors of Nagaland. During the 2017 I-T raid, the Sreevalsam Business group, Pillai’s family run business, declared over Rs. 100 crore of unaccounted money.

A person, such as Pillai, was able to do this precisely because most of us care so very little about others and our society. As long as we get something (even few thousands of rupees) from such deceitful states of affair, we don’t care what damages they do. Try to wrap your head around the amount of money, meant for the modernization of Nagaland Police (who are supposed to serve and protect its citizens), been siphoned off and mismanaged. What an insult to the people of Nagaland that an officer of the law is able to do such a thing and still elude justice? The Irony, however, is that we cannot blame Pillai, nor the politicians, the police officials,

A

or the bureaucrats. Blame ourselves, we are the enablers here.

We enable such deeds to happen and do so with impunity.

It is us who have created such a societal environment where it pays to be corrupt, deceitful, and crooked.

Our next examples are the cases of the removal of previous DGP of Nagaland, Rupin Sharma, in 2018; and the transfer of Nagaland Chief Secretary, RB Thong, earlier this year. The Government of Nagaland in 2018 cited that Rupin Sharma—a super cop who played a monumental role in the extradition of infamous gangster, Abu Salem, in 2005 from Portugal—the then DGP of Nagaland “does not possess the requisite experience” and that his appointment was a “stop-gap arrangement,” and so on. On the contrary, Rupin Sharma was a seasoned officer; more importantly, he was not a “Yes Man.” He did not say “yes” to the politicians who were well-versed in and enthusiastic about backdoor appointments (because of political obligations) into Nagaland police cadre along their tribal lines. And in Nagaland, politicians want “yes man” and even the majority of us do want to be a “yes man.” A quintessential aspect of being a “yes man” is that it requires you to sell your dignity and self-respect.

And Sharma was not selling his self-respect and dignity. When Rupin was appointment as Nagaland’s DGP, there were significant positive changes, such as skill development programs for the inmates, where money earned by the prisoners were deposited into their accounts; and an increase in the salary of constables all thanks to his recommendations, and so on.

Moreover, Rupin was not tribal; he had no affinities with any tribes. Hence, citizens began to think there will be equal and fair opportunities in the recruitment processes, which did not sit well with the politicians, high ranking officers and bureaucrats. To put it bluntly, this certainly hurt the egos of the tribal politicians and hence

Earth matters

propos of the reports in the media that Europe is going through a very hot season this time, it is disturbing to note that climate has been changing precariously due to known and unknown factors. The temperature in France surpassed 45 degrees Celsius for the first time on record on Friday as Europe sweltered in an early summer heatwave that has caused several deaths.

Europe is a continent with fairly cool climate and in the past temperature during summer seasons used to hover around 20 plus. But the recent spurt in temperature level has caused consternation. Once Europe used to be the cradle of great thinkers and philosophers and it gave birth to so many discoveries and inventions. What greatly catalysed and helped achieve remarkable discoveries and inventions was indeed the cool climate. In a hot atmosphere one cannot concentrate much and it will make one restless and uncomfortable. But the cool climate as one of the factors, after the great renaissance in Europe helped achieve marvellous inventions.

So, the climate of a particular country plays an important role in the lives of the people of that country.

Unfortunately, the change in the climate is also changing the vibes of the people and thought pattern of the people.

When the temperature goes up in these parts of the world and once it remains to be unchanging, viz. if it remains to be hotter like that of in Africa, then a complete change will happen on the people of Europe. Wisdom and prudence

he was removed. There were public signature campaign to halt his removal, but that did not materialize either (I wonder why?).

With this drama ended, we see another one to a baffling climax. In January of this year, we see the Chief Secretary of Nagaland, RB Thong, being transferred. People in Nagaland are indeed living in strange times (maybe, we deserve all these strangeness). Even this high office became an item of mockery in a highly charged political game, thinly masking the tribal undertone. I wonder if similar transfers could be done when a member of larger and “advanced” tribes occupy this office (Just wondering)? What are we, the citizens, to think of such unfolding of events?

How can tribalism and trust deficit not perpetuate? Such actions only reaffirm tribalism and trust deficit between tribes in Nagaland. On the one hand, politicians talk about unity; while on the other, they show favoritism that sustains divisions.

Such divisive actions humiliate groups that do not possess such political might. This was an implicit way of saying: “I am doing this and what can you do about it?” Indeed, what can average citizens do about this? Silence is indeed deafening. This is similar to what BJP is doing to this country, by cajoling minority and tribal communities.

Lastly, our next example is the most recent one: the misuse of scholarship funds. The director of Higher and Technical and his lackeys have unashamedly misused the students’ scholarship funds. No doubt, even politicians, implicitly or explicitly, are involved in this, since how can directors and mid to highlevel bureaucrats embezzle such a huge amount of funds without the knowledge of the concerned ministers. The students’ bodies held a protest; yet, looking at the history of student bodies agitations/protests, I am afraid the director of the concerned department along with those others involved will elude justice; at the most, these perpetrators will get a slap on the wrist.

R

The state government, from the highest level, has given assurance that the concerned matter will be inquired into and that Lok Ayukta was investigating into this matter. However, even the members of the adjudicators are not only appointed based on political connections but are also themselves obligated to the politicians. As such, the investigation will be lost in the cumbersome court processes and other bureaucratic red tapes (i.e. the file will be lost somewhere in the dusty government offices, never to be found again).

The point of these above illustrations of examples is that we allow such states of affairs to continue. Indeed, the government, as well as its politicians and bureaucrats, will invariably give proper justifications for the above-mentioned episodes, since they are good at giving excuses. More importantly, these cases poignantly display the complacency of the people in Nagaland. For money, most of us are willing to defend what we despise and castigate what we hold dear. We keep our mouths shut either because no one cares or because we have some monetary or material gains to be made out of such conditions.

We ought to remember that we neither can nor should we blame Pillai, the politicians, director of Higher and Technical, and other government officials precisely because we are all complicit in creating and sustaining an environment, where such unethical codes of conduct have become normal.

We have normalized such behaviors. We are the contributors and enablers that have led to where our society is morally and ethically. There is or must be something shockingly wrong with us and the way we view things around us to habitually enable such states of affairs to occur. I do hope my estimations are erroneous. Yet, these examples are something for us to sincerely ponder about. Rather than finding faults in others, we should begin by examining into our own selves.

Climate Change: Everyone’s responsibility

N

agaland is blessed with rich natural resources and has rich vegetation. Its resources has not yet fully been utilized nor exploited.

But sadly, Nagaland is also a victim of global climate change and has been witnessing its effect over the recent years in different parts of the state like late monsoon shower, drought, flood, rise in temperature,unseasonable rain etc. Of recent, once it is known for most suitable city, Chennai is facing acute water shortage for the past few weeks. The major water reservoirs are dried up which once feeds the entire city. It is alarming and a grave concern that if the government do not take extreme measure to tackle the crisis, it will be a mass holocaust some day. This entire crisis has been blamed for the late monsoon rain and the state government is being questioned for failing to tackle the crisis, but the reason in best known to everyone, Climate Change. It is an eye opener for the state like Nagaland to comprehend and take a preventive measure before the same fate is encountered in future. Nagaland, being a developing state, depends widely on natural resources and agriculture however it is the responsibility of the Government to give due importance to sustainable development and protecting the environment side by side. The global climate change will not compromise any state or region if extreme measure is not taken at present.

The state capital is one example where half the citizen does not get sufficient water supply although the state has enough fresh river water to feed the entire populace. It is because the state lacks modern mechanism and water management policies. The citizens are compelled to suffer artificial water crisis in all the major district headquarters of the state. Along with other developmental activities, the Government should give priority in conserving and harvesting rain water and water management policies. Focus should also be made on the construction of water reservoir in every district in order to avert future water crisis. By formulating such policies and programs the citizens should at least enjoy their basic rights and not hamper their developmental activities. The rich natural resources will one day be depleted in not use judiciously. Climate change is a global concern now. It is not only the government alone but a join responsibility of every citizen and various stakeholders who should come forward by imposing moral responsibility in protecting the environment. I am neither an environmentalist nor an activist, as a concern citizen of the state, urging every responsible citizen to combat climate change ‘if you care for your tomorrow’.

Lynching incidents shouldn’t be politicised: Mukhtar Naqvi MUMBAI, JUN 29 (PTI): Union minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi Saturday said incidents of lynching should not be given a communal colour or politicised.

He was speaking to reporters after inaugurating a renovated hall of the Haj House in Mumbai.

“Lynching is a criminal subject. It should not be given a communal colour. It is highly condemnable and no one should politicise it,” the Minority Affairs Minister said.

The comment comes in the backdrop of the alleged lynching of a 24-yearold man in Jharkhand last week.

The victim, Tabrez Ansari, was allegedly tied to a pole and thrashed with sticks by a mob in Seraikela Kharsawan district of Jharkhand on suspicion of theft. The man was purportedly seen in a video being forced to chant “Jai Shri Ram” and “Jai Hanuman”. He later succumbed to injuries.

Naqvi said the culture of harmony and tolerance of majority Hindu community has built and strengthened the foundation of India’s democratic secularism.

“India is the world’s

largest secular democratic country because after partition, Pakistan chose to become an Islamic nation, while the majority Hindu community in India chose the path of secularism,” he said.

Despite the diversity in languages, faiths, food and style of living, India’s culture has kept us united through a strong bond. Today, the minorities in India are moving forward on the path of development with religious and social freedom, the minister said.

“The strong inclusive culture, unity and harmony of India has defeated terrorism and other enemies of humanity. Terrorist groups such as Al Qaeda and Islamic State have not been successful in their evil designs due to the commitment to unity of our soci-

ety,” the BJP leader said.

The Muslim community in India knows very well that terrorism is the biggest enemy of the entire humanity and Islam, he said.

“We should remain cautious to ensure that no negative agenda is successful in disturbing the atmosphere of inclusive development and harmony.

We have to make secularism and democracy our strength and not a weakness,” Naqvi said.

The minister said it was for the first time since independence that a record 2 lakh Indian Muslims will go on Haj this year without any subsidy.

“An honest and transparent system developed by the Modi government has ensured that even after removal of Haj subsidy, there is no unnecessary financial burden on the Haj pilgrims,” he said.

“A record number of two lakh Indian Muslims will go on Haj this year in over 500 flights from 21 embarkation points across the country,” Naqvi said.

The number of women Haj pilgrims going without ‘mehram’ (male companion) this year is double as compared to last year, the minister added.

Lynching victim Pehlu’s sons chargesheeted for cow smuggling ALWAR, JUN 29 (PTI): Two years after Haryana resident Pehlu Khan was lynched by cow vigilantes in Rajasthan’s Alwar district, police here have filed a chargesheet against his two sons and a truck operator for illegally transporting cattle.

The issue triggered a row with AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi charging that the Congress in power was the “replica of the BJP”.

Owaisi was reacting to earlier reports that Pehlu Khan was also chargesheeted.

Although the case goes back to April 2017 when the BJP was in power in the state, the chargesheet is being filed months after the Congress took over.

“The chargesheet was accepted by the court on May 24 against three persons under the Rajasthan Bovine Animal Act. Since Pehlu Khan had died, he has not been chargesheeted,” Alwar Superintendent of Police Anil Paris Deshmukh told PTI. H o w e ve r, Pe h l u Khan’s name was mentioned in the summary of the chargesheet.

Police maintained that the case against Pehlu Khan, his sons Irshad Khan (25) Aarif Khan (22) and truck operator Khan Mohammad stood proved in the investigation.

They were charged

under the Rajasthan Bovine Animal (Prohibition of Temporary Migration or Export) Act, 1995.

Pehlu Khan and his sons were thrashed by a mob on the suspicion of cow smuggling in Alwar’s Behror on Aprli 1, 2017.

Pehlu Khan died at a hospital in Alwar on April 3. The Rajasthan Police registered a case against the people who allegedly lynched Pehlu Khan and thrashed his companions.

Six men were named in the FIR which also mentioned about 200 unidentified people.

A case was also registered then against Pehlu Khan and others under the Rajasthan Bovine Animal Act, which allows the transportation of cattle only after getting permission from the administration.

Police had then booked 16 people for illegally transporting 36 animals in six vehicles.

They were on their way to Nuh district in Haryana from Jaipur when the cow vigilantes stopped two of the vehicles in Behror on the Jaipur-Delhi national highway, thrashing Pehlu Khan and his sons.

Amid the row over the latest chargesheet, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot Saturday distanced himself from any role in the investigation.

State govt set to implement RIIN

(From p-1)

The exercise will also be reviewed and monitored by the chief secretary every month. Thereafter, no fresh Indigenous Inhabitants Certificates will be issued, except for new born-- children born to Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland, for whom a mechanism will be built to issue Indigenous Inhabitants Certificates along with Birth Certificates and simultaneous updating of the RIIN database, with due intimation to the authorities concerned.

This will be done as a feature to be incorporated in the ‘Online System of ILPs’ which will have a component for RIIN as well.

The RIIN database will be updated with latest photographs and other details, every 5 years.

After completion of all formalities, there will be a complete ban on issue of fresh Indigenous Inhabitants Certificates. However, in case of anyone left out from the RIIN, he/she will need to file an application before the Home Commissioner, who will verify and take necessary action for updating in the RIIN, if needed.

The notification stated that a ‘Permanent Committee’ under the Home department will monitor the entire exercise of creation of the RIIN and its implementation of the same.

Meanwhile, the Home commissioner has warned that any deputy commissioner or any other officer/ authority that issues any Indigenous Inhabitant Certificate in violation of these guidelines will attract disciplinary action.

In this regard, all concerned have been directed to comply with the guidelines and complete the exercise of setting up of RIIN in a time bound manner.

It may be mentioned that the decision to setup the RIIN was based on the recommendations of the Committee on Inner Line Permit report headed by Abhisek Singh (IAS), submitted to the state cabinet on February 15, 2019.

Accordingly, the state cabinet of February 15, deliberated on the issue and also decided to extend the ILP regime in the entire State including Dimapur.

The Committee’s recommendations were approved and the decision to frame regulations for implementation of committee’s report undertaken.

be shut down and subscribers moved to 4G. Bharti’s Volte (voice over long-term evolution) traffic, which has seen a substantial jump in the last one year, will get a further leg-up due to this initiative. From being negligible in December 2017, today around 4050% of Bharti’s voice traffic moves on its Volte network.

This will further increase as 3G networks are shut down and users are moved to 4G. Already, at 50% of Volte traffic, the global average has been achieved by the company.

Bharti will continue to have 2G subscribers as they comprise around 70% of its total subscriber base and migrating them to 4G will not be as easy as the 3G

users since they do not have smartphones. However, the company has started the process of weeding out low paying 2G subscribers by making it mandatory that customers recharge every month for a minimum Rs 35 voucher.

“Airtel will continue to provide 2G service in Kolkata to serve the connectivity needs of customers on feature phones. All customers on 3G were duly notified and requested to upgrade their handsets/SIMs to continue enjoying best-in-class smartphone experience.

3G customers who are yet to upgrade their handsets/ SIMs will continue to get access to high quality voice services,” the company said in a statement. Reliance Jio is the only operator which has fully 4G network and subscriber base.

In terms of segment, US dollar denominated debt continued to be the largest component with a share of 50.5 per cent at end-March 2019, followed by the Indian rupee (35.7 per cent), Japanese yen (5 per cent), SDR (4.9 per cent) and euro (3 per cent).

The SBI-led consortium of banks that had extended loans to Jet Airways this month agreed to file insolvency proceedings against the airline after the bank-led resolution process failed to get any results.

According to the data, there was an accretion of $14.2 billion in foreign exchange reserves (on BoP basis) during the period under review as compared with $13.2 billion in Q4 of 2017-18.

As per the data, for the full-fiscal 2018-19, India’s CAD increased to 2.1 per cent of GDP in 2018-19 from 1.8 per cent in 2017-18 on the back of wider trade deficit.

“India’s trade deficit increased to $180.3 billion in 2018-19 from $160.0 billion in 2017-18... Net invisible receipts were higher in 2018-19 mainly due to increase in net services earnings and private transfer receipts,” RBI said.

“Net FDI inflows at $30.7 billion in 2018-19 were marginally higher than $30.3 billion in 201718. Portfolio investment recorded a net outflow of $2.4 billion in 2018-19 as against an inflow of $22.1 billion a year ago.”

The Reserve Bank of India’s data on India’s Balance of Payments (BoP) showed that CAD narrowed from $13 billion in Q4 of 2017-18 and $17.7 billion in the preceding quarter.

“The contraction of the CAD on a year-on-year (y-o-y) basis was primarily on account of a lower trade deficit at $35.2 billion as compared with $41.6 billion a year ago,” RBI said.

“Net services receipts increased by 5.8 per cent on a y-o-y basis mainly on the back of a rise in net earnings from telecommunications, computer and information services.”

New Delhi, Jun 29 (Agencies): The void created after Jet Airways’ closure has hit hard on passengers’ pockets, with several international routes seeing a surge in flight ticket fares.

Flights to places like London, New York, Sydney, Dubai and Toronto have been a significant rise in fares since Jet Airways’ shutdown in April. The maximum fare surge of up to 157 per cent (when compared with the corresponding month last year) was seen on the Mumbai-New York route in March, claims travel platform Cleartrip.

As per the data collected by the platform for June, a maximum of 58 per cent rise in fare was seen on the Mumbai-Toronto route, followed by 49 per cent on the Mumbai-New York route. The MumbaiSingapore route also saw a major rise of 36 per cent in fare in June alone.

Jet Airways, which last year had a fleet size of over 140 planes, closed its operation completely on April 17.

The airline used to operate around 120 daily international flights until December 2018.

China, US agree at Xi-Trump meeting to restart trade talks

US said it will not add new tariffs on Chinese exports, China’s state-run China Daily reported.

Trump’s assurance that no further tariffs would be imposed on Chinese goods has come as a relief in China, which is reeling under continued slowdown of the economy.

The negotiating teams from the two countries are to discuss specific issues, it said.

The joint declaration said global growth was stabilizing and was expected to register a small rise later this year and in 2020, adding that the bloc was committed

said. He recalled that he had stressed the need for such a coalition at the last G20 Summit held in Buenos Aires last year. “I invite the G20 countries to join this coalition and share their experience and expertise,” the Prime Minister said.

“At the #G20 Summit, invited other nations to join the International Coalition on Disaster Resilient Infrastructure. Let us close ranks for a safer planet,” he tweeted later.

“Disasters, natural or man-made, require quick and effective remedial measures. They invariably af-

fect the poor the most,” he added in another tweet.

The Prime Minister’s view is that capacities around the world should be pooled in and utilised whenever a disaster occurs in any country and when the coalition is in place, the government of the affected country would know where to access help.

“This is a space which has not been filled by anybody yet,” Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale said recently, adding Modi felt that this is an area in which India, with its experience and capacity to handle disasters, can take a lead in.

American officials h ave s a i d s i n c e M ay that credible intelligence showed Iranian forces and proxies could be planning to attack Americans in the region.

Tensions between the US and Iran have been increasing since US President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from a multiparty 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran and reimposed sanctions on the Islamic republic.

Iran has threatened to abandon some of its commitments under the nuclear deal unless the remaining partners -- Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia -- help it circumvent US sanctions and especially sell its oil.

Osaka (Japan), Jun 29 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday invited G20 countries to join a proposed international coalition to address issues related to post-disaster situations anywhere in the world.

Addressing a session of G20 Summit here, he said the International Coalition on Disaster Resilient Infrastructure is needed for quick and effective measures after disasters strike as such tragedies mostly affect the poor.

The thinking behind the initiative is that every time a major disaster occurs, immediate relief and rehabilitation is given but thereafter small, vulnerable and developing countries are left to fend for themselves.

The initiative would be essentially a loose virtual coalition of countries which have capacity in handling post-disaster infrastructure development.

That capacity could be in terms of financial or human resources support or utilization of experience.

“Disaster resilient infrastructure is required not only for development but it is also necessary to combat natural calamities,” Modi

Osaka, Jun 29 (IANS): The members of the G20 bloc on Saturday concluded their two-day Summit here by declaring support for the principles of free trade and economic growth amid global trade-related tensions.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said in a press conference after the end of the two-day summit that the G20 leaders agreed on the need to boost economic growth and expressed concerns about globalization and the world trade system, reports Efe news.

Abe said the 20-member group reaffirmed its support for “the fundamental principles backing a free trade system” and placed special emphasis on achieving open, free and nondiscriminatory markets and a level-playing field.

Japanese Prime Minister said even though it was difficult to find one solution to so many global challenges at once, the group had managed to show a common will in many areas.

The leaders also recognized the clear “downside risks” to the global economy according to Abe, who said the member-countries had agreed to spearhead economic growth and stressed the need to reform the World Trade Organization.

The final statement signed by the leaders flags the intensification of geopolitical and trade tensions, but does not include any mention of growing protectionism, in the context of

Beijing/Osaka, Jun 29 (PTI): Chinese President Xi Jinping and his American counterpart Donald Trump agreed Saturday to re-launch the stalled negotiations to end the bruising trade war, according to the Chinese state media which said the US will not impose new tariffs on imports from China.

The move came as Trump held a lengthy meeting with Xi on the sidelines of the Group of 20 economic summit in Osaka, Japan.

During the meeting, the

countries, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.

The US and China - the world’s two largest economies - have been fighting a damaging trade war over the past year.

Trump is demanding China to reduce massive trade deficit which last year climbed to over USD 539 billion. He has also asked China to workout verifiable measures for the protection of intellectual property rights (IPR), technology transfer and more access to American goods in the Chinese markets.

Trump has already slapped a 25 per cent tariff on USD 250 billion in Chinese goods. Trump has also threatened 25 per cent tariffs on another USD 300 billion in goods from China.

China said will re-start “on the basis of equality and mutual respect,” the media reported.

Special teams from both the sides headed by high-level officials held 11 rounds of talks to end the tariff war.

11.5 ft tall giant bird lived in Europe 2 mn yrs ago

A

bird three times bigger than an Ostrich and the same weight as a fully grown polar bear once lived in Europe, according to a new study.

A chance discovery in a cave in Crimea suggests that early Europeans around 1.5 million years ago lived alongside some of the largest birds ever to live on Earth. Experts previously believed that such gigantic birds only ever existed on the islands of Madagascar and New Zealand as well as in Australia.

The newly-discovered specimen, found in Taurida Cave on the northern coast

of the Black Sea, suggests a bird as big as the Madagascan elephant bird or New Zealand moa once lived in Europe. Researchers from the Russian Academy of Sciences say it weighed about 70 stone (450kg) and believe it may have been a source of meat, bones, feathers and eggshell for early humans.

Lead author Dr Nikita Zelenkov said: ‘When I first felt the weight of the bird whose thigh bone I was holding in my hand, I thought it must be a Malagasy elephant bird fossil because no birds of this size have ever been reported from Europe. ‘However,

the structure of the bone unexpectedly told a different story.

‘We don’t have enough data yet to say whether it was most closely related to ostriches or to other birds, but we estimate it weighed about 450 kilos.

‘This formidable weight is nearly double the largest moa, three times the largest living bird, the common ostrich, and nearly as much as an adult polar bear.’

It is the first time a bird of such size has been reported anywhere in the northern hemisphere.

Although the species was previously known, no

one ever tried to calculate the size of the animal.

The flightless bird, attributed to the species Pachystruthio dmanisensis, was probably at least 11.5 feet (3.5m), and would have towered above early humans.

It may have been flightless, but the researchers said it was also fast.

While elephant birds were hampered by their great size when it came to speed, Dr Zelenkov said the femur of the bird found in Crimea was relatively long and slim, suggesting it was a better runner.

The femur is comparable to modern ostriches as well as smaller species of moa and terror birds.

But speed may have been essential to the bird’s survival. Alongside its bones, palaeontologists found fossils of highly-specialised, massive carnivores from the Ice Age. They included giant cheetah, giant hyenas and sabre-toothed cats, which were able to prey on mammoths.

Other fossils discovered alongside the specimen, such as bison, help date it to 1.5 to 2 million years ago.

A similar range of fossils was discovered at an archaeological site in the town of Dmanisi in Georgia, the oldest hominin site outside Africa.

Elton John calls out Putin for his comments

E

lton John has called out Vladimir Putin, saying that recent comments he made about the LGBT community feel “like hypocrisy to me.”

In a social media post, John said that he was “deeply upset” by the Russian President’s interview with the Financial Times in which he said liberalism “must not be allowed to overshadow the culture, traditions and traditional family values of millions of people.”

While claiming he was “not trying to insult K Y M C

anyone” and wanted to “let everyone be happy,” Putin said that “some things do appear excessive to us.”

Responding to Putin’s comments, John yesterday (June 28) shared an open letter to the Russian president.

“Dear President Putin, I was deeply upset when I read your recent interview in the Financial Times,” the singer’s Instagram post began. “I strongly disagree with your view that pursuing policies that embrace multicultural and sexual diversity are obsolete in our

societies. I find duplicity in your comment that you want LGBT people to ‘be happy’ and that ‘we have no problem in that.’”

Highlighting recent reports that a Russian media company had cut all scenes from Rocketman featuring gay sex and men kissing because of laws banning “homosexual propaganda,” the singer’s letter continued.

“Yet Russian distributors chose to heavily censor my film Rocketman by removing all references to my finding true happi-

ness through my 25 year relationship with David and the raising of my two beautiful sons. This feels like hypocrisy to me.”

After sharing how proud he was to “live in a part of the world where our governments have evolved to recognise the universal human right to love whoever we want,” John signed the letter: “Respectfully, Elton John.”

T h e p o s t wa s a c companied by a photograph of John, husband David Furnish and their two sons, with the word “CENSORED” sprawled across it. See the full post below.

Meanwhile, Elton John has announced new UK dates for his ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ tour.

The dates, all penned for 2020, will see John perform farewell gigs in London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Aberdeen, Glasgow and Leeds. The new UK dates includes a sixth London show on December 14, 2020.

Argentina, Chile through to Copa semis

Argentina’s Lautaro Martinez (R) celebrates with team-mates Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero after scoring a goal during their Copa America match against Venezuela.

Rio de Janeiro, Jun 29 (IANS): Argentina defeated Venezuela 2-0 to advance to the semi-finals of the 2019 Copa America, where they will face host nation Brazil.

On Friday, Venezuela turned out with a solid performance, but were not up to the task of stopping Argentina, who continue to win despite captain Lionel Messi’s lack of form.

The outcome of the quarter-final sets up yet another edition of the South American classic between five-time World Cup winners Brazil and their main regional rivals, who have won the World Cup twice.

Albiceleste and 21-year-old forward Lautaro Martinez generated the energy on attack.

Fresh off a good debut season with Inter Milan, Martinez put Argentina ahead in the 10th minute, scoring off a back-heel pass from Sergio “Kun” Aguero, who earlier tested Venezuelan keeper Wuilker Farinez.

Venezuela’s best striker, Salomon Rondon, received no service in the first half and Argentina keeper Franco Armani found himself with little to do.

But the Venezuelans could draw satisfaction from reaching the break behind by only a goal and they were notably better to

start the second half.

T h e i m p r ove m e n t was alarming enough for Argentine coach Lionel Scaloni to replace Martinez up front alongside Messi and Aguero with the more experienced Angel di Maria.

And the Albiceleste’s attempts to open up more space for Messi left them vulnerable at the back, where Venezuela’s Ronald Hernandez forced a save from Armani in the 67th minute.

Eight minutes later, Farinez dealt with an Aguero strike, but left the ball to Giovani Lo Celso, for the decisive second goal.

He will also monitor the upcoming women cricketers besides appointing the coaching staff at NCA and the zonal cricket academies.

The batting great will also spearhead NCA’s rehab programme for the injured cricketers. The new role means that he won’t be able to travel with India A and U-19 teams as he used to. Former India pacer Paras Mhambrey and Abhay Sharma remain part of the junior team support staff.

“He will travel with India A and U-19 teams but not for the entirety of the tour. It is a much bigger responsibility and it will require him to spend more time at NCA than with the junior teams,” a BCCI official told PTI after the Committee of Administrators (CoA) meeting here on Saturday. “Mhambrey and Sharma will continue to be with A and U-19 team for now.

Alexis Sanchez got the winning spot kick after William Tesillo pulled Colombia’s last penalty wide of the post. Chile will face either Uruguay or Peru in Wednesday’s semi-final in Porto Alegre.

Chile had beaten Argentina in the last two finals of the tournament on penalty kicks and they gave Colombian goalkeeper David Ospina no chance on Friday.

The kick-off at the Corinthians arena was delayed by 20 minutes after the Chilean coach got stuck in Sao Paulo’s notorious traffic, keeping more than 40,000 fans waiting.

Tempers frequently flared in a match with 35 fouls but there was no lack of quality on show as both sides created chances.

Chile were unlucky not to win in regulation time, with Aranguiz in the first half and Vidal in the second having goals chalked off after video assistant referee (VAR) reviews.

“It’s difficult because you’re going at 100 miles an hour and then they annul two goals,” said Vidal.

‘Win against SL doesn’t mean much’ Chester-le-Street, Jun 29 (IANS): South Africa captain Faf du Plessis said that their win against Sri Lanka came a little too late for their liking in the ongoing World Cup and it doesn’t mean much to them.

Already out of the contention of making it to the semifinals, the Proteas on Friday registered clinical nine-wicket consolation win over Sri Lanka at the Riverside Ground Stadium.

Put in to bat, Sri Lanka managed a modest 203, a target which the Proteas overhauled with 76 balls to spare.

“Long time coming, yeah. It was a good game, we did ourselves justice with the talent we have in that dressing room. Set up by a good bowling performance.

Dwaine (Pretorius) was exceptional. We’ve been trying to get him into the XI, but it’s a balance thing. The nature of the wicket told me it needed to be straight lines with the ball, and that’s why I brought Dwaine and

Andile on early,” du Plessis said in a post-match interview.

“Line and length was harder to face than pace on that wicket. (This win) feels bittersweet. It doesn’t feel like it means that much.

It’s a little bit too late,” he added.

Happy with the batsmen who finally came to perform after seven games in the competition, the Proteas skipper said, “But the basics of batting were shown today. We haven’t had guys

batting through, and big partnerships, but that was not the case today. One big partnership, and suddenly everything seems so much easier.”

He also admitted the fact that the defeat to Bangladesh early in the tournament affected their confidence and they could not get over it. “Bangladesh was the one that really took the wind out of our sails... They really sucker-punched us in the stomach...,” added Du Plessis

Pak claim dramatic win over Afghanistan

Leeds, Jun 29 (PTI): Pakistan survived a mighty scare to continue its surge towards the World Cup semifinals with Imad Wasim (49 not out) showing nerves of steel to guide them to a tense three-wicket win over Afghanistan, here Saturday.

In heart-stopping action, the gritty Afghanistan yet again came close to creating a big upset but were denied by Wasim, who emerged an unlikely batting hero along with Wahab Riaz (15 off 9). The Afghans after dominating the large part of the Pakistan innings, wilted under pressure, missing run outs and catches towards the dramatic end.

The Afghanistan spinners turned the match on its head by reducing Pakistan to 156 for six and the modest 228-run target was now looking like a mountain to scale for the 1992 champions. It was Mujeeb ur Rahman (2/34) and Mohammed Nabi (2/23) who saw off the Pakistan top-order to set it up nicely for Afghanistan.

per Sarfaraz Ahmed (18) helped the Afghan cause by running himself out at crucial juncture. There was no Babar Azam (45) or Sohail at the crease to rescue Pakistan, who required 46 from the last five overs.

Afghan skipper Gulbadin came to bowl the 46th over and ended up leaking 18 runs with Wasim finding three boundaries in that over. With 16 needed off 12 balls, Riaz launched Rashid for a massive six in the

second ball and eventually Pakistan needed six from last over.

Gulabdin brought himself again into the attack but Wasim steered him for a four in the fourth ball to finish it off for his side. With this win, Pakistan have now jumped to the fourth spot with nine points, pushing hosts England to five.

Earlier, Pakistan bowlers did not exactly dominate the Afghanistan batsmen but pacer Shaheen Afridi’s

four-wicket haul helped them limit the gritty rivals to 227 for nine in their mustwin game. Contributions from Asghar Afghan (42 off 35) and Najibullah Zadran (42 off 54) gave the bowlers something to bowl at.

Shaheen Afridi was impressive upfront as well as in the death overs, ending with figures of four for 47 in 10 overs.

Batting has been Afghanistan’s weakest link in the competition. Afridi

put Pakistan on top with a double strike in his opening spell, removing skipper Gulbadin Naib (15) and Hashmatullah Shahidi off successive balls.

Afghanistan were in more trouble when a set Rahmat Shah (35) was dismissed by left-arm spinner Imad Wasim. Asghar and wicket-keeper batsman Ikram Ali Khil (24) then tried to resurrect the innings with a 64-run stand with the former being the aggressor.

Asghar went on the offensive against the spinners to limited success but in the end leggie Shadab Khan had the last laugh as he swept one on to his stumps.

Zadran came up with a handy innings towards the end to lend the total some respectability on a slow surface. Besides Afridi’s stellar showing, pacer Wahab Riaz and Imad Wasim picked up two wickets each.

Brief scores: Afghanistan- 227/9 (Asghar Afghan 42, Najibullah Zadran 42, Shaheen Shah Afridi 4/47) Pakistan- 230/7 (Babar Azam 45, Imad Wasim 49 not out; Mohammad Nabi 2/23)

Patiala, Jun 29 (PTI): Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju on Saturday announced that the diet budget of the SAI trainees, senior and junior athletes will be increased to bring parity.

Earlier, the diet budget for SAI trainees, junior athletes and senior athletes was Rs. 250, Rs. 480 and Rs. 690, respectively but the Rijiju has decided to make the amounts equal.

Speaking about his decision, Rijiju said, “While having my meal at the athletes mess (at the National Institute of Sports) in Patiala, I noticed that senior and junior athletes and SAI trainees have different diets since the food budget for each section is different.”

“However, diet is key for the success of a sportsperson and no child can become a world champion with inadequate diet.

The diet of an athlete should not depend on the level at which he or she is playing, but on the need of the athelete as per recom-

US beat France to enter Women’s WC semis

Paris, Jun 29 (IANS): The US showed why they are regarded as the premier side in women’s soccer, defeating host nation France 2-1 to claim a spot in the semi-finals of the 2019 Women’s World Cup. As she did in the quarter-final against Spain, Megan Rapinoe on Friday scored both goals for the Americans, who have never failed to reach the final four of a competition they have won three times, most recently in 2015, reports Efe news.

A near-capacity crowd of more than 45,000 people were in the stands at Parc des Princes on a sweltering night in Paris for the mostanticipated match-up of the 2019 championship and the contest did not disappoint.

Unexpectedly, given their talent, the US ceded the initiative to the French, who had more than 60 per cent possession and outshot the Americans 20-10.

But while France had more of the ball, the US were more effective and took a 1-0 lead in the fifth minute, when Rapinoe threaded a free-kick through a forest of legs.

Getting the early goal allowed the US to fall back and await chances on the counter for speedy forwards Rapinoe and Alex Morgan.

United States players celebrate after Megan Rapinoe scored the opening goal from a penalty kick during their Women’s World Cup match against France.

France, after being held without a shot in the first half, created some nervous moments for the US over the course of roughly 20 minutes following the restart. Eugenie Le Sommer shot wide with US goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher on the deck in the 57th minute and Valerie Gauvin had a

chance a few minutes later, though her weak header that posed no real test for the American netminder.

And just as France were hitting their stride, Rapinoe got her second of the night, converting a pass from Tobin Heath to put the US up 2-0 in the 65th minute. The French battled

on and cut the deficit to one goal in the 82nd minute, when Wendie Renaud headed-in off a set piece, prompting US coach Jill Ellis to send in two defensive-minded subs to put the match to bed.

The US will face England on July 2 in the first semi-final.

Wan-Bissaka completes Man Utd move Lo n d o n, J u n 2 9 (Agencies): Manchester United have completed the signing of Crystal Palace full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka in a deal worth £50 million ($63m).

The England Under-21 international underwent a medical at United’s Carrington training complex on Thursday having returned from the Young Lions’ unsuccessful tilt at the European Under-21 Championship in Italy.

And now the club has announced that they have wrapped up the signing of the highly-rated 21-year-old, making him their second addition of the summer following on from the deal which brought Daniel James to Old Trafford from Swansea City.

United and Palace had negotiated long and hard over the exact details of the transfer fee, with a sell-on clause in Wilfried Zaha’s switch from Old Trafford to Selhurst Park in 2015 having become a bone of contention as Palace wanted to remove the 25 per cent demand removed in return for allowing Wan-Bissaka to leave. But the two sides finally settled on an initial £45m outlay, with a target-related £5m due at a later point.

Rijiju visited their mess and the kitchen to take a first hand report of the quality of food and the way it is prepared for the athletes. He has also assured that the kitchens in all SAI centers will be modified and turned into state-of-the-art to ensure that nutritional value of

food is not lost.

The Minister also announced that besides food, supplements required by athletes, as per prescription, will also be made available without delay.

The move will impact 12,500 athletes training in various SAI centers and the sports ministry will release an additional amount to Rs

150 crore annually to fund the new diet budget.

During his visit, Rijiju met athletes from various sporting disciplines like volleyball, boxing, athletics, weightlighting and spoke to them and their coaches at length. He enquired about the quality of food served, training regimes and requirement for added facilities and infrastructure.

While speaking to the athletes, he sort their suggestions to improve facilities.

Asking them to reach out to him with issues that need attention, Rijiju assured that their immediate requirements would be catered to within two or three months.

“India is an emerging 5 trillion dollar economy, and necessary funds will be managed. We are committed to use funds wherever needed. All athletes will be given all requisite facilities to train well and bring medals for the country,” he said.

Karolina Pliskova clinches Eastbourne International title

EASTBOURNE, Jun 29 (Agencies): World number three Karolina Pliskova outclassed Wimbledon champion Angelique Kerber 6-1 6-4 to win her second Eastbourne title in style.

Pliskova, from the Czech Republic, will head to Wimbledon full of confidence after a superb display sealed victory over the German in 71 minutes.

She broke fourth seed Kerber’s serve three times to take the first set and once on her way to winning the second. The 27-year-old did not lose a set during the Nature Valley International.

“All week I was playing quite perfect,” said Pliskova.

“But not all the matches were as easy the score says, especially today.”

The match between two former world number ones was billed as a battle between Pliskova, the great server, and Kerber, the great returner.

Pliskova’s big serve dominated all week but it was the way the second seed attacked 31-year-old Kerber’s serve that proved the difference.

The Czech player broke Kerber’s opening service game and the German did not manage to hold her serve until the third game of the

second set.

Pliskova then broke Kerber’s serve at the first opportunity in the second and although the threetime Grand Slam champion played much better, the depth and power of the Czech’s groundstrokes continued to give her control of the key points.

She dropped just seven points on her serve in the set and finished with seven aces and 33 winners in the match.

Pliskova, who has yet to win a Grand Slam, gets her Wimbledon campaign under way against China’s Zhu

Lin on Monday.

She will bid to become the first player since Jana Novotna in 1998 to win Eastbourne and go on to triumph at Wimbledon.

Kerber, now a threetime Eastbourne runner-up, will open the defence of her Wimbledon title against compatriot Tatjana Maria on Tuesday.

“It will be a special moment stepping onto Centre Court again,” said Kerber.

“I’m feeling good, I’m playing good and hopefully I can continue on my play from last year.”
