rioters won’t be spared: Shah WHO declares COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic Delhi Oppn demands

GENEVA/NEW DELHI, MAR 11 (AGENCIES): Expressing increasing alarm about mounting infections, the World Health Organization declared Wednesday that the global coronavirus crisis is now a pandemic.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who heads the U.N. agency, said the WHO is “deeply concerned by the alarming levels of spread and severity” of the outbreak. He also expressed concern about “the alarming levels of inaction.”

“We have, therefore, made the assessment that COVID-19 can be characterized as a pandemic,” he said at a briefing in Geneva.

“All countries can still change the course of this pandemic. If countries detect, test, treat, isolate, trace and mobilize their people in the response,” Tedros said.

“We have never before seen a pandemic sparked by a coronavirus,” he said.

COVID-19 cases touch 60: India reported 10 new cases of the coronavirus (COVID-19), taking the number to 60 on Wednesday, the Union health ministry said, even as India prohibited till March 31 entry of international cruise ships,

The union has also appealed to the state government to take up preventive measures and precautions.

Further, KU has appealed to all the medical staff of Mon district to be stationed at respective posting place. Besides, it also advised the public to avoid travelling to other district/ state/country “during this critical situation.”

Among the fresh cases, eight were from Kerala and one each from Delhi and Rajasthan since Tuesday, the Union health ministry said and gave state-wise breakup which included five (Delhi), nine (Uttar Pradesh), four (Karnataka) and two in Ladakh.

While the Union ministry maintained that there are two confirmed cases of the infection in Maharashtra, the state health officials put the number to seven.

Rajasthan, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Jammu and

Kashmir and Punjab have reported one case each, the ministry said, adding Kerala has till now reported 17 cases, including the three patients who were discharged last month following recovery.

India suspends all tourist visas till April 15: India on Wednesday suspended all tourist visas till April 15 in a bid to contain spread of novel coronavirus, according to an official statement.

The suspension will come into effect from 1200 GMT on March 13 at the port of departure.

The decision was taken at the meeting of group of ministers held here under the chairmanship of Health Minister Harsh Vardhan.

All existing visas, except diplomatic, official, UN/International organisations, employment and project visas stand suspended till 15th April 2020. This will come into effect from 1200GMT on 13th March 2020 at the port of departure,” the statement said.

States advised to invoke 1897 Act on epidemics: To combat the coronavirus outbreak, the Central government on Wednesday decided that all states should be advised to invoke the necessary provisions of the Epidemic Disease Act, 1897 to enforce all advisories.

According to an official statement, at a review

meeting held by Cabinet Secretary Rajiv Gauba, it was decided that all states/ UTs should be advised by the Union Health Ministry to invoke provisions of Section 2 of Epidemic Disease Act so that all advisories being issued from time to time by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare/State/UTs are enforceable.

Section 2 of the 1897 Act gives the power to take special measures and prescribe regulations as to dangerous epidemic disease.

States asked to step up sanitation efforts: All states and union territories have been asked to step up sanitation and hygiene in all public transport vehicles to contain the spread of coronavirus, the Road Transport and Highways Ministry said on Wednesday.

The states and union territories have also been advised to step up sanitation at bus terminals and stops, the ministry said.

Scindia joins BJP, takes a sharp swipe at Cong

(L) Jyotiraditya Scindia being welcomed by JP Nadda. (PTI)

NEW DELHI, MAR 11 (AGENCIES): Former union minister Jyotiraditya M. Scindia formally joined the ruling BJP Wednesday, a day after the senior leader was expelled from the Congress.

Scindia was inducted into the BJP by party president JP Nadda.

Scindia is likely to be made a cabinet minister in the next reshuffle in the Narendra Modi government that may

take place in April, after the budget session of Parliament ends.

The former Congress leader, who was also close to the Gandhi family, hit out at the party saying that it was difficult to work for public and country while being in Congress. “I am disheartened and deeply sad that the aim of serving the people cannot happen in that organisation.

Congress is no longer the

party it used to be...one of the key reasons is that it is unwilling to see what the reality is,” said Scindia after joining the BJP. Hours after Scindia joined the BJP, the party announced his candidature for Rajya Sabha from Madhya Pradesh.

The BJP also released a list of nine candidates from its party, including former Congress lawmaker Bhuvaneshwar Kalita from Assam among others. BJP also announced names of two alliance candidates - union minister Ramdas Athawale from Maharashtra and Biswajit Daimary from Assam.

The decision of Scindia to join BJP has its impact on the functioning of the Madhya Pradesh government under chief minister Kamal Nath. Even as Scindia was in talks with the BJP, at least 22 Congress

MLAs sent their resignation to assembly Speaker PN Prajapati and are also likely to join the BJP. “Dreams were shattered in the last 18 months ever since Congress came to power in Madhya Pradesh. Key promises like farm loan waiver were not delivered, farmers are annoyed with the state government, job creation has not happened and corruption has increased,” said Scindia.

The state government under Nath is set to hold Budget Session on March 16 and the government would need numbers in its favour to pass the budget. As Congress has been pushed to the brink of collapse after the resignation of 22 legislators close to Scindia, the party herded about 90 of its legislators to resorts near Jaipur, while BJP sent its MLAs to a luxury hotel in Gurgaon.

Shah’s resignation; seeks independent judicial probe

NEW DELHI, MAR 11 (PTI): Vowing not to spare anyone involved in the Delhi violence irrespective of their religion, caste or party affiliation, Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said in Lok Sabha it will be a lesson for the country on what befalls those who indulge in rioting.

Replying to a discussion in the lower house on the Delhi riots, Shah said prima facie the violence appears to be a pre-planned conspiracy. Despite opposition’s criticism over alleged inaction by the Delhi Police during the violence last month, Shah appreciated the police for not allowing the riots to spiral.

Complimenting the Delhi Police for controlling the riots within 36 hours, Shah said its actions ensured that the violence was “limited to a geographical area” and did not spread.

He said that a total of 2,647 people have been detained or arrested in these

riots “which prima facie is a pre-planned conspiracy”.

About 700 FIRs were filed, 152 weapons used in violence seized so far and 49 cases lodged under Arms Act, he informed the House.

A case of conspiracy was filed after looking at how the riots spread in such a short span of time, Shah said, adding that more than 300 people apparently came from Uttar Pradesh.

Expressing grief over the loss of lives and conveying his condolences to the bereaved families, Shah said he wants to assure them that no one who was involved in the riots will be spared.

He assured the House that CCTV footage is being analysed using face identification software, and took a dig at the opposition, saying that the software does not discriminate on the basis of

religion or clothes.

Taking on the opposition, Shah said the government wanted a discussion on the Delhi violence in parliament after Holi to avoid communal flare up during festival time, but some have other priorities.

Oppn MPs stage walkout: Congress and IUML MPs staged a walk out during Shah’s response in Lok Sabha, claiming he was “misleading Parliament” instead of accepting his failure in containing the riots.

Congress demanded home minister Amit Shah’s resignation over his failure to contain violence in Delhi even as most opposition parties demanded an independent judicial inquiry into the communal flare up that claimed 53 lives and left over 500 persons injured in February this year.

CNCCI demands ENPO CEC meet ZAPO resolves issue, SARFAESI Act adopts 2-pt resolution withdraws proposed implementation DIMAPUR, MAR 11 (NPN): East- road blockade ern Nagaland Peoples’ Organization

DIMAPUR, MAR 11 (NPN): Confederation of Nagaland Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CNCCI) has demanded immediate implementation of Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act (SARFAESI), 2002 in Nagaland as the Act had immense potential to revolutionise the State’s economy by empowering thousands of educated unemployed youth, who did not have land in Dimapur cadastral area but required capital to start a venture.

CNCCI president Dr. Khekugha Tuccu and general secretary Dr Seyeville Mor in a statement asserted that the Act’s implementation would also help thousands of existing entrepreneurs to expand their businesses with enough capital at their disposal, thus ushering in a robust business environment in trade, commerce and micro and small scale industry in the near (Cont’d on p-8) future.

(ENPO) central executive council (CEC) meeting held at KU conference hall, Mon HQ on March 10, 2020 has adopted two-point resolution with regard to separate state demand and Naga political issue.

On matter relating to the demand for a separate state, ENPO through its media cell stated that since there has been no indication of any interest by the government of India and consequent upon the “lackadaisical treatment”, the CEC meeting resolved that people of Eastern Nagaland would “not extend public co-operation in any national red-letter event henceforth.”

Further, the meeting decided to intensify and strengthen the movement for statehood demand. It was also resolved to form Eastern Nagaland Youth Front (ENYF).

Reiterating its “fullest support and co-operation for an early peaceful and long lasting Naga Political solution,” the ENPO CEC meeting, however, resolved that any solution that “may appear to be detrimental to the peace and unity of the people of Eastern Nagaland shall be opposed.”

DIMAPUR, MAR 11 (NPN): Zunheboto Area public organization (ZAPO) has decided to withdraw the proposed road blockade road on NH 702/A AsukhoZunheboto after reaching an agreement with the road construction firm.

ZAPO stated that the organization and the firm held consultative meeting convened by DC Zunheboto, Peter Lichamo, at his office chamber on March 11.

ZAPO said EE, PWD (NH Mkg division) and M/s Multi Builders agreed to undertake the work of soiling and metaling of full stretch on NH 702(A) Km.40.00– Km.53.00 by this month and complete within three months. ZAPO and ZRSU agreed to extend all logistic support during the period whenever necessary besides providing a timely supervision.

KSCDL laments destruction of public property NPF rubbishes PDA’s claims of achievements DIMAPUR, MAR 11 (NPN): Expressing its disheartenment at some individuals who vandalised potted plants in and around Kohima town, the Kohima Smart City Development Limited (KSCDL) has appealed to the citizens not destroy public property, saying “public spaces belong to each one of us.”

In a press release, KSCDL CEO and KMC administrator Kovi Meyase said that last December the pavement potted plants were kicked onto the highway resulting in destruction of pots and plants along the SKV Petrol Pump stretch. He said that more than 20 pots of Poinsettias in full bloom were also vandalized below the Box Cutting stretch.

According to KMC administrator, the latest incident occurred on March 10, 2020 when all the plants were taken away along

PWD Jn to SKV Petrol Pump Area.

He also said that there had been instances over the past three months when a few plants were taken away and were replaced. Meyase, however, lamented that this time round, all the plants except for two have been taken away.

“The pots are now standing empty except for

waste that is being collected as passersby spit onto the pots and throw their waste mistaking the pots to be Dustbins,” he said/ KSCDL CEO said that Plants were planted and maintained by groups who work purely on voluntary basis, which involves watering every alternate day at their own expense. “These initiatives are purely for the

Citizens towards a Cleaner, Greener and more livable City,” he said.

The CEO has, therefore, appealed to all responsible citizens not to destroy or take away the plants. He rather welcomed individuals, groups or organizations to adopt areas for beautification.

“Our city is our responsibility. Let’s join hands to make our city clean, green and beautiful,” he said.

Kohima Smart City and the KMC in collaboration with various organizations and volunteer groups were making an effort to enhance the aesthetics of the town by planting plants and flowers in public areas and along the main roads.

Since 2019, Meyase said various organistations have come forward to adopt and maintain specific areas and stretches including traffic points.

DIMAPUR, MAR 11 (NPN): NPF has slammed the much hyped achievements claimed by the PDA government on the occasion of its second anniversary here on March 9.

In a statement, NPF alleged that the second year of the coalition government was marked with plenty of controversy than in the first year and with no achievement. NPF said Naga public are witness that there is no new project or achievement.

The NPF said the PDA government simply carried out the old works initiated by the last NPF-led DAN government, and that too in a haphazard manner with no quality works.

Refer ring to chief minister Neiphiu Rio and deputy chief minister Y Patton’s talks of good governance and transparency, NPF pointed alleged that the government’s promises

of providing good roads within 30 days, 60 days, 100 days and to repair all district roads were a total failure even after two years in office.

According to the party, the tall promises made by the PDA government fell flat as road projects -DimapurGolaghat gate to Patkai bridge and Kohima by-pass check gate to Phesama check gate– that were all supposed to be completed within 2019 missed the deadline, while quality of the roads was pathetic and not upto the standards or specifications prescribed by the Union ministry of road transport and highways.

Mentioning about the government proclamation of the Naga talks having been successfully concluded on October 31, 2019, NPF said there was no outcome or solution to the protracted Naga political

problem till date.

The party wondered why the ruling coalition did not even raise an eyebrow when Government of India (GoI) denied Naga civil society leader and human rights activist to travel outside India.

It was a mystery that when GoI was still engaged with Naga national workers and when the Naga peace process was at its peak, what prompted intelligence agency to prevent leaders and activists calling for peaceful resolution of the decadesold Indo-Naga problem from travelling abroad, the statement added.

Alleging that random backdoor appointments had taken place in almost all government departments by depriving thousands of deserving Naga youths, the opposition party ridiculed the PDA government’s claims (Cont’d on p-8) K Y M C

COVID-19: Haats along IndiaB’desh border likely to be shut

A gartala / Shillong, March 11 (IANS): The ‘Border Haats’ (markets) along the IndiaBangladesh frontier are likely to be closed for some time as a precautionary measure against the spread of novel coronavirus, officials said on Wednesday.

Currently, four such markets are operational in Meghalaya and Tripura to boost trade in the area and promote livelihood avenues of those living along the international borders in both India and Bangladesh.

Tripura Health and Family Welfare Department Secretary Debashish Basu on Tuesday night issued a notification asking all District Magistrates/Collectors to close the “Border Haats” for the time being in consultation with the Bangladesh authorities.

“As the central government has directed to avoid mass gathering as a precautionary measure against nCoV, we have asked district authorities to shut these border markets for the time being,” Basu told IANS. South Tripura District’s Additional District Magistrate Suresh Das, who is the Co-Chairman of the Srinagar (Tripura, India)Chhagalnaiya (Bangladesh) Border Haats management committee, said that the Bangladesh authorities have already decided to suspend the markets for the time being.

“In view of the Bangladesh government’s decision we have also sought the opinion of the state government in this regard. We are yet to get the notification of the Tripura Health and Family Welfare Department Secretary. However, we have already taken some precautionary measures in the ‘Border Haats’,” Das told IANS. Western Tripura’s Sepahajala District’s Additional District Magistrate Udayan Sinha, who is the Co-Chairman of the Kamnalasagar (Tripura, India )-Kasba (Bangladesh) Border Haats management committee said that they are not aware about any notification of Tripura Health Secretary.

“The weekly border haat in Kamnalasagar-Kasba was held on Sunday as usual. If we got any government instructions we would definitely abide by that,” Sinha told IANS, adding that they have already taken certain preventative measures. Meghalaya’s Balat (Meghalaya, India)-Dolora (Bangladesh) Border Haats management committee member KM Syiem said that the border markets are as of now functioning as usual.

“As the central government has already asked the state authorities to shun the public gathering as a precautionary measure, the Meghalaya government would definitely take appropriate steps,” Syiem said, adding

that no notification was yet issued regarding the haats.

Meanwhile, Manipur and Mizoram governments have already prohibited the cross border movements of people and border trades along India’s border with Myanmar and Bangladesh alongside the two northeastern states to prevent the possible spread of coronavirus.

The first “Border Haat” had started functioning in July 23, 2011 at Kalaichar (India)-Kurigram (Bangladesh) in the West Garo Hills of Meghalaya. Three other haats followed at Balat (Meghalaya, India)-Dolora (Bangladesh) in 2012, Srinagar (Tripura, India)Chhagalnaiya (Bangladesh) and Kamnalasagar (Tripura, India )-Kasba (Bangladesh) in 2015.

Fo u r n o r t h e a s t e r n states of Tripura, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Assam share a 1,880 km border with Bangladesh, while Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh share 1,640-km of unfenced border with Myanmar.

Some 16 to 20 items are available for trading at the haats. These include agricultural and horticultural products, spices, minor forest products (excluding timber), fresh fish (excluding Hilsa) and dry fish, dairy and poultry products, cottage industry commodities, handloom and handicraft products, and garments.

Delhi riots pre-planned: Manik Sarkar Agartala, Mar 11 (PTI): Alleging that the violence in Delhi was a “pre-planned conspiracy”, former Tripura chief minister Manik Sarkar started a drive to raise funds for those affected by the clashes.

Urging people to help the riot survivors, Sarkar raised questions on the role of the administration to tackle the violence that killed at least 53 people.

“Hooligans were hired from outside Delhi. They ransacked and vandalised many houses and shops. It was a pre- planned conspiracy induced by communal hatred,” said the veteran CPI(M) leader.

“I urge everybody to come forward to help the riot survivors,” he added.

Sarkar, who is currently the leader of opposition in the state, alleged that no serious steps were taken against those behind the violence.

The fundraising drive, being conducted by CPI(M) activists, will continue over the next few days across the state, party leaders said.

At least 200 people were injured, many hundreds displaced and businesses destroyed in the riots that began on February 24 and continued till February 26.

Over 700 cases have been filed, and nearly 2,400 people have either been detained or arrested.

AIZAWL, MAR 11 (PTI): The Mizoram government has launched a massive drive to detect foreigners residing in the state, a senior official said on Wednesday.

The state government, in the exercise that began in early February, is identifying unauthorised villages set up allegedly by immigrants from neighbouring Bangladesh, he said.

The drive comes nearly a year after the state legislature passed the Mizoram Maintenance of Household Registers Bill, 2019, that seeks to identify foreigners residing in the state.

The bill is pending with President Ram Nath Kovind for his assent.

The drive is being carried out by the state home department and Local Administration Department (LAD), the official said.

LAD secretary Rodney Ralte told PTI there are around 19 unauthorised villages in Lunglei, Champhai, Mamit and Serchhip districts allegedly established by Bangladeshi immigrants.

The majority of the unauthorised villages are in south Mizoram’s Lunglei district, while three are in Champhai, two in Mamit and one in Serchhip, he said.

Ralte said the unauthorised villages are mostly inhabited by people of

Chakma and Bru communities.

Under the drive being conducted by the district deputy commissioners, officials are listing names of residents of the villages, verifying their identities and asking them whether they have permission to establish the settlements, the official said.

“Strong appeal from civil society groups and student bodies has prompted the state government to carry out the foreigner detection drive. Genuine residents of Mizoram will be asked to return to their parent villages in the state and foreigners will be pushed back to their respective countries,” Ralte said.

The official meanwhile claimed that the exercise is not akin to the National Register of Citizens (NRC).

“No NRC exercise is being carried out anywhere in Mizoram. The state government is only identifying unauthorised villages and foreigners as per the existing law,” he said.

Ralte said the state government has also issued a notification banning developmental activities in all the unauthorised settlements, and asked churches and non- governmental organisations not to take up any such work.

NEW DELHI, MAR 11 (AGENCIES): Lok Sabha MP from Assam Gaurav Gogoi on Wednesday said that Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia joining BJP will not have any impact in the party, reports Northeast Now news.

He also criticized Scindia for quitting Congress at a time when he was needed

to fight “BJP’s communal politics.”

Stating that Scindia got everything from the party, Gogoi said, “What did he not get in Congress!

He earned respect, a ministerial position as well as he was a member of the Congress Working Committee.”

Gogoi also criticized

the Bharatiya Janata Party for playing politics against peoples mandate.

“People of Madhya Pradesh had rejected Shivraj Singh Chauhan g ove r n m e n t a n d o p t s Cong ress gover nment in place. And BJP now wants to destabilise the Congress government,” said Gogoi.

Enough stock for 3 months: Mizoram govt on rumours

Aizawl, Mar 11 (PTI): The Mizoram government on Wednesday said it has enough stock of essential commodities for at least three months, as residents of the state capital made a beeline in markets following rumours that the inter-state borders may be shut amid the coronavirus scare.

The rumours on social media after Mizoram’s borders with Myanmar and Bangladesh were shut on Monday led to panic among the residents of the state.

A trader told PTI that he has sold over hundred bags of rice and a substantial quantity of other essential grocery items in a day.

Supply Minister K Lalrinliana has assured people that they have nothing to fear as the state has “sufficient” stock of essential commodities. The supply of rice, cooking gas, oil and other essentials is unlikely to be disrupted because Mizoram’s border with neighbouring states would not be sealed, he said.

It will also be unaffected as Mizoram does K Y M C

not import foodgrains, gas and oil from Myanmar and Bangladesh, he said.

Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Department officials said the stock was sufficient to meet the requirement of the state for three months. The state government has prohibited hoarding and hiking prices of essential commodities. It has warned of a legal action

against violators under ‘The Prevention of Black Marketing and Maintenance of Supplies of Essential Commodities Act, 1980 and the Consumer Protection Act, 2019’, they said.

A task force on the mitigation of coronavirus, headed by Chief Secretary Lalnunmawi Chuaungo, said there was enough stock of food items in the state.

Statement of condemnation to Mr. Z. Lohe’s remark

The family of Late Yangmaso Shaiza, former Chief Minister of Manipur was deeply hurt by the statement made by Mr. Z. Lohe former Speaker at the peace rally on Naga Political solution organized by Nagaland GB Federation on March 9th 2020, at Dimapur. Among other things Lohe’s reference to former Chief Minister of Manipur who alleged that, “Yangmaso Shaiza, Tangkhul, I will not give an inch of Manipur for Naga integration” was baseless and malicious, it has no historical basis. There is no such statement made by former CM in or outside the floor of the Manipur Assembly, there is neither official or unofficial records where Yangmaso Shaiza made such statement. The family has paid three precious lives in the past because of such unfounded statement. Our painful memories have been resuscitated by Lohe’s statement. We strongly condemn Mr. Lohe’s reckless, irresponsible and disrespectful statement with an agenda to divide the Nagas on the tribal line. The statement was defamatory in nature and slanderous in character. He must apologize to the family of Late Yangmaso Shaiza in particular and the Nagas in general for his hate speech.

Mrs. Soso Shaiza, Daughter-in-law of late Yangmaso Shaiza DC-

Chuaungo said no case of coronavirus has been reported in the state till date.

However, strict vigilance would be maintained along inter-state and international borders, he added.

Mizoram had on Monday sealed its borders with Myanmar and Bangladesh, and banned the entry of foreigners to prevent the spread of the deadly coronavirus.

Leishemba Sanajaoba

Ram Madhav (national general secretary-organisation), Ajay Jamwal (general secretary-NE-in-charge) and state chief minister N Biren were among other leaders who attended the meeting.

During the meeting, the name of titular king was focussed even though some members suggested re-nomination of the sitting MP K Bhabananda. Some other leaders of the state unit were also in the race.

However, as division among the members surfaced, the meeting concluded without taking a decision, a source within the party said.

GUWAHATI, MAR 11 (AGENCIES): During coronavirus screening at Akhaura Integrated Check Point in Tripura, a Bangladeshi national with high body temperature was sent back as health official did not want to take any undue risks. The Bangladeshi national has been identified as a resident of Chittagong, reports Northeast Now news.

Speaking to the media Tripura Family Welfare and Preventive Medicines Director Radha Debbarma informed that so far no coronavirus-related case has been reported in Tripura.

Meanwhile, Tripura health department has issued an advisory urging the people to avoid or postpone mass gatherings till the coronavirus spread is contained. The department further asked the people to adopt required restrictions on mass gatherings for avoiding acute respiratory illness, influenza-like illness and also coronavirus.

Tuichawngchhuah, an illegal village in Lunglei district settled by Chakmas, has been vacated after the residents were served an eviction order in May last year.

The residents have shifted to nearby Tuichawng village, they said.

The officials said Belva, another illegal settlement in the same district, has also been deserted.

Earlier this month, Chakma politicians and leaders, including BJP’s lone legislator in the state, Buddha Dhan Chakma and the party’s national council member Nirupam Chakma wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking his intervention to stop the drive, which they termed as “illegal NRC”.

T h e y a l l e ge d t h a t the Mizoram government was specifically targeting the Chakmas through the drive.

“The illegal survey has been conducted in at least 14 Chakma-inhabited villages of Lunglei district. No such survey is being conducted in any Mizo-inhabited village,” they said in the letter.

The Buddhist Chakmas are a minority in Christian- dominated Mizoram and mainly concentrated in Lunglei and Lawngtlai districts located near the India-Bangladesh border.

Only Scindia could walk into my house anytime: Rahul

‘13 of 22 rebel Cong MLAs don’t want to quit Cong’ NEW DELHI, MAR 11 (PTI): Thirteen of the 22 rebel MLAs in Madhya Pradesh have given an assurance that “they are not leaving the Congress”, senior party leader Digvijaya Singh said on Wednesday while expressing confidence that the Kamal Nath-led government in the state will win a floor test.

“We are not keeping quiet. We are not sleeping,” Singh told PTI, a day after Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia quit the Congress and 22 MLAs submitted their resignations from the assembly in MP. As uncertainty grew over the future of the Congress government in the state, pushed to the brink of collapse, Singh said nobody anticipated that Scindia, a former Union minister and four-time Lok Sabha MP, would quit the party.

“We did not anticipate that Scindia will quit the Congress... that was a mistake,” Singh said.

He added Scindia was offered the post of MP deputy chief minister but wanted his nominee. However, Kamal Nath refused to accept a “chela”, he said.

Scindia, Singh said, could have been a Congress nominee to RS but “only ModiShah” can give a Cabinet post to the “over-ambitious” leader. The senior leader also claimed that Scindia was roped in by the BJP after Shivraj Singh Chouhan failed to topple the Cong government in MP. He alleged that the MLAs were offered a huge amount of money.

Jaipur where senior leaders are assigned to keep them together.

After joining the BJP, Scindia hit out at the Congress, saying, “The Congress today is not the same as it was in its original avatar.”

He also accused the Congress of denying the ground reality. “I had a dream when Cong ress formed the government in Madhya Pradesh in 2018.

Eighteen months later, none of the promises have been met, including the ones relating to the farmers,” Scindia said. He also accused his former party of going back on its promises as well as indulging in corruption.

“Today ‘transfer’ is an industry in Madhya Pradesh,” he alleged, hitting out at CM

Kamal Nath.

It is believed that the BJP is likely to send him to the Rajya Sabha and accommodate him in the Union cabinet as well.

Also, if the BJP forms the government in Madhya Pradesh, Scindia’s aides are likely to be inducted into the state cabinet taken under Shivraj Singh Chauhan.

His resignation on Tuesday came after his meeting with PM Narendra Modi along with HM Amit Shah.

Scindia was reportedly upset after being sidelined in the state and preempting that Kamal Nath and Digvijaya Singh may have prevailed over interim Congress president Sonia against sending him to the Upper House from Madhya Pradesh.

HC seeks Centre, Delhi govt stand on PIL to combat COVID-19

NEW DELHI, MAR 11 (PTI): The Delhi High Court on Wednesday sought the stand of the Centre and the Delhi government on a PIL seeking proper and adequate measures to combat coronavirus.

A bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice C Hari Shankar issued notice to the Ministry of Health and the Delhi government seeking their replies by March 30 on the public interest litigation (PIL) filed by an advocate.

The petition, by lawyer Triveni Potekar, seeks directions to the Centre and the AAP-led Delhi government to make available important and relevant information on access to and availability of medical facilities for testing and treatment for the coro-

navirus disease.

According to the Union health ministry, there are 60 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the country.

During the hearing, central government standing counsel Anil Soni, appearing for the ministry, told the bench that “state-of-the-art” medical facilities in the high court be put to use to check whether people coming here are infected as “prevention is better than cure”.

Potekar, in her plea, said India is under grave potential risk of mass infection due to lack of sufficient screening, testing and isolation facilities and trained health workers. It has sought review and assessment of the facilities and infrastructure available in a scientific manner.

JAMMU, MAR 11 (PTI): The Jammu and Kashmir administration has ordered closure of all educational institutes across the union territory till March 31 as a precautionary measure amid the coronavirus scare.

Cinema halls in all the 10 districts of Jammu division will also remain closed till March 31, officials said.

While only one person has tested positive for the contagious coronavirus in the union territory, one man with high viral-load has been reported and his samples have been sent to the National Centre for Disease Control in New Delhi, they said.

“All schools, colleges and universities of Jammu and Kashmir to suspend teaching and class work till March 31,” Director National Health Mission (NHM), Bhupinder Kumar, told reporters here.

However, board and competitive examinations will be conducted as per schedule, he added.

Former chief minister Siddaramaiah has been reappointed as the chief of the Congress Legislative Party and the Leader of Opposition in the Karnataka Assembly.

Shivakumar, a former minister and known to be the Congress’ chief troubleshooter in crisis situations, replaces Dinesh Gundu Rao as the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) chief.

A six-time MLA, Shivakumar had hosted Congress legislators from Gujarat here in 2017 to ensure the victory of AICC leader Ahmed Patel in Rajya Sabha elections.

He was a key link in the Congress-JDS coalition and had made hectic attempts to prevent the collapse of the H D Kumaraswamy-led government last year after a section of the then ruling MLAs revolted.

the 15 seats in the bypolls, yielding 12.

In a first, the KPCC will now have three Working Presidents, with party on Wednesday also appointing Satish Jharkiholi and Saleem Ahammed to the post, along with Eashwar Khandre, who is currently holding the position.

Speaking to reporters here after the announcement, Shivakumar said, keeping trust in him, party leaders and ‘karyakartas’ (workers) have got him the post through AICC President Sonia Gandhi.

Noting that the high command always had trust in him since the time he was a student leader, he said, “whatever position I may attain...Working President (in

the past), President (now) I will be a karyakarta of the party, and I will be the voice of the karyakartas and work for the people of the state.

“I’m a worshiper of the party and not any individual,” he said, in an apparent message to the state leaders, as he wished to work as KPCC President taking all party leaders together.

Though his name was decided by the high command much before, it was

NEW DELHI, MAR 11 (PTI): The Enforcement Directorate has booked suspended AAP councillor Tahir Hussain, Islamist group PFI and some others on the charges of money laundering and alleged funding of last month’s communal riots in northeast Delhi, officials said on Wednesday.

They said the central probe agency has filed a criminal case against Hussain, facing charges of killing an Intelligence Bureau official during the riots, under the PMLA. Similar charges have been pressed against the Popular Front of India (PFI), which is already facing a separate PMLA probe for allegedly fuelling protests against the CAA in various

parts of the country. There was no immediate comment from PFI. The ED is expected to seek Hussain’s custody to question him in the case.

He is in the custody of Delhi Police at present.

The officials said the federal agency has taken cognisance of a clutch of FIRs filed by Delhi Police’s Crime Branch to probe the alleged money laundering and routing of illegal funds

by Hussain, PFI and others to purportedly sponsor the communal riots which claimed 53 lives and injured over 200. Hussain, an AAP corporator for ward number 59 under the Mustafabad assembly seat in Delhi, was booked by the police in the murder case of IB staffer

a long wait for Vokkaliga strong man. Party sources said there was opposition within. There were reports that Siddarmaiah was lobbying in favour of one of his confidants for the top job.

Siddaramaiah is said to be the man behind the idea of three Working Presidents seen as a move to weaken Shivakumar’s hold on the party. The former chief minister also managed to keep both the CLP and LOP post with him, despite calls for it to seperated.

Several other leaders are also said to have opposed Shivakumar’s name, citing his recent arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case.

However, Shivakumar’s loyalty, roles that he has played in the party’s interest during troubled times, worked in his favour, a Congress leader said.

His appointment will help in consolidating the party in southern parts of the state, where Vokkaligas are in large number, the leader added.

NEW DELHI, MAR 11 (IANS): Hours after Rahul Gandhi, whose close if not closest associate in the party, Jyotiraditya Scindia, joined the BJP on Wednesday, the former Congress chief broke his silence, saying, “He was the only one who could walk into my house anytime”.

Rahul Gandhi also rubbished Scidia’s claim that he was unable to meet him and interim Congress President Sonia Gandhi, since that would be impossible for a person who had all access at all time to the Gandhi household.

Scindia earlier alleged that he had tried to reach out to Sonia Gandhi but could not do so. Rahul Gandhi, who was once seen winking to Scindia in the Lok Sabha with Prime Minister Narendra Modi making much of that episode, reacted to Scindia’s departure from the party while speaking to reporters in the Parliament corridors on Wednesday.

With the Congress struggling to save its government in Madhya Pradesh, which is on the brink of collapse after 20 MLAs close to Scindia reportedly put in their papers, the party has taken its flock of MLAs to

Living in past glory

t a time when BJP has been forced on the back foot over the failing economy, the anti-CAA protests nationwide and the Delhi riots etc.; by destiny or default, it has been rescued from the brink by its sworn enemy- the Congress. In a shocker that was not entirely unexpected, as the writing on the wall has always been evident, veteran and youthful Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia has decamped with scores MLAs loyal to him on Holi to the BJP. Scindia’s defection has infused a huge booster to the BJP while reducing the Congress government in Madhya Pradesh led by his sworn rival Kamal Nath to minority. Scindia has been fighting against the canny and wily duo of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath and Digvijaya Singh, the latter seen as acting as “Super Chief Minister”. Both Nath and Digvijay have been united in their scheme to isolate and decimate the Scindia scion. The ongoing crisis, has been triggered by the ensuing Rajya Sabha polls in which three MPs are to be elected from the state.

Scindia was denied from becoming PCC chief but the last straw came when he was tripped from getting nomination to the Rajya Sabha when Priyanka’s name surfaced. The defection of Scindia may not be the end of Congress’ woes unless it takes a course correction. Like Scindia, who was one among the promising future leaders in the Congress, several others like Sachin Pilot in Rajasthan, Milind Deora in Maharashtra, Jitin Prasada in UP and Deepender Hooda in Haryana, all in their 40s feel isolated and are now struggling for recovery. The mishandling of Scindia by the Congress is the consequence of being leaderless and rudderless. It has not learnt any lessons after two successive humiliations in 2014 then 2019. Prospects of a split, revolt, mutiny or disquiet are real and not without reason. The electorate has resoundingly rejected the ‘charismatic’ Nehru-Gandhi dynasty and the ‘Idea of India’ the Congress claims to represent. People, especially young India, don’t see much hope in the Congress’ “idea of India” other than seeing it as a grand old party trapped in its past glory.

Modi may be the ruthlessly divisive megalomaniac that his opponents allege him to be, but in politics he has proved that he delivers. Modidoesn’t have to do much since the Congress house is collapsing due to the sins of omission and commission of the Gandhis and the family courtiers who ensconced themselves to the Gandhi coat tails as ‘the high command.’ Scindia’s rebellion is a huge psychological setback for the Congress, but it does not mean that the party will vanish because of that. The battle on the ideological field is crucial since a certain perception of the Congress being an anti-Hindu party has been created. If a party loses the confidence of the majority community, they cannot do any good for minority communities. This understanding was grafted by the AAP during the recent Delhi elections and it paid a huge dividend. India needs a viable national alternative to fight against the BJP’s overreach on India’s freedoms: of speech, associationand religious practice and this is the challenging role where the Congress has been placed.

Congress cannot go far with an ailing and apolitical Sonia or a clueless and a politically reluctant and inarticulate Rahul. Sonia and her old guards versus Rahul and his impatient young Turks cannot thrive together as Scindia has shown and this dichotomy has caused too much damage. If desperation has led to thinking that Priyanka is the answer today, then it will be mistaking the wood for the trees.

DailyDevotion Obedience to the “Heavenly Vision”

I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision. —Acts 26:19 If we lose “the heavenly vision” God has given us, we alone are responsible— not God. We lose the vision because of our own lack of spiritual growth. If we do not apply our beliefs about God to the issues of everyday life, the vision God has given us will never be fulfilled. The only way to be obedient to “the heavenly vision” is to give our utmost for His highest— our best for His glory. This can be accomplished only when we make a determination to continually remember God’s vision. But the acid test is obedience to the vision in the details of our everyday life— sixty seconds out of every minute, and sixty minutes out of every hour, not just during times of personal prayer or public meetings.

“Though it tarries, wait for it…” (Habakkuk 2:3). We cannot bring the vision to fulfillment through our own efforts, but must live under its inspiration until it fulfills itself. We try to be so practical that we forget the vision.

At the very beginning we saw the vision but did not wait for it. We rushed off to do our practical work, and once the vision was fulfilled we could no longer even see it. Waiting for a vision that “tarries” is the true test of our faithfulness to God. It is at the risk of our own soul’s welfare that we get caught up in practical busywork, only to miss the fulfillment of the vision. Watch for the storms of God. The only way God plants His saints is through the whirlwind of His storms. Will you be proven to be an empty pod with no seed inside? That will depend on whether or not you are actually living in the light of the vision you have seen. Let God send you out through His storm, and don’t go until He does. If you select your own spot to be planted, you will prove yourself to be an unproductive, empty pod. However, if you allow God to plant you, you will “bear much fruit” (John 15:8). It is essential that we live and “walk in the light” of God’s vision for us (1 John 1:7).

Post-mortem

The burning political On delimitation being choked in Nagaland issue in Nagaland today R T he burning political contentions current in the hearts of many a Naga in Nagaland today is found in the agenda of Cultural Pan Naga Hoho pending settlement between the Government of India and National Socialist Council known as Nagalim. The NSCN [IM] is trying very hard to push the Agenda through for a final Settlement.

What kind of a Naga would ever object to a common mutual cultural Body called Pan Naga Hoho for all the Naga living in various States of the Northeast? It is a desirable to have such a common body of all Nagas in every sundry places. And the Naga does not need permission from anybody to form a common Pan Naga cultural Body. Nagas in foreign countries already has such a Naga Organization. Then why do the IM wants permission from GoI? The Fox in Sheepskin or a Tojan Horse is in the innocent Agenda is that the Pan Naga Hoho has a political Rider also of far reaching political consequences for the NSCN [IM] and the Naga of Nagaland. It also would affect other States of the Northeast too wherever there is pocket of Naga population.

Actually the PNH is poorly camouflaged ploy anyone can see through as the design of the IM continue its stay in the rich green pastures of Nagaland under the unsuspecting folly of the Government of India. In the eye of the people of Nagaland, the GoI is soft more than is correct to the IM. With their incomparable fire-power, vis-à-vis that of the IM, the GoI could correctly be harder, magnanimous but just in and during the TALK! The Pan Naga Hoho’s poorly camouflaged political rider is: FIRSTLY: I. The Pan Naga Hoho as a STATUTORY Body.

The IM desire appear trying to ink the Agreement with the political Rider in the Statutory Pan Naga Hoho so that what with their Socialist Barrel could not attain a

union with Nagaland State they are attempting to succeed now with the Pencil through STATUTORY PAN NAGA HOHO, WIH ADVISORY ROLE for the IM ON EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE STATE OF NAGALAND. They will leave no stone unturned to remain in the State of Nagaland but the great majority of the Nagas of Nagaland, resent their political hubris, except for those cowards and the self-seeking yes-man. After 40 yrs of interfering the governance of the State of Nagaland, the Nagas of Nagaland are fed-up with the IM’s political, governmental, personal arrogances and theats of violence in the State.

The IM is seeking a legal point to stay in Nagaland for their interest than for the interest of the Pan Naga.

And now that the GoI Interlocutor has at last CLEARLY declared in the News Paper [quoted]: “we will not talk with the Gun” and the IM Supremo Thuingaleng Muivah himself had publicly in his Consultative Public Meeting at Agri-Expo Ground at Dimapur said [quoted]: “Sovereignty and Integration is not in the Talk”. Now, he is trying his last ditch attempt to remain in Nagaland.

He may stay in Nagaland a peaceful Citizen but not with the political power or as the leader of a Socialist Government of Nagaland.

If the Cultural Pan Naga Hoho is allowed STATUTORY position, it will have POWERS to make favourable RULES and REGULATIONS of for the Organization; and if the Body has Rules and Regulations, the Rules and Regulations will have to empower obedient EXECUTIVES of the Hoho.

IN MATTERS OF CULTURE: the Clan, the Thinuo[Khel], the Village and the Tribe singly or jointly is SUPREME, not the Political Party in the State.

In all probability, if the past is any precursor of the future, the

Head of the Statutory Pan Naga Hoho Body will be the Yariwo: and already Nagaland is rife with rumour that Muivah would be the Yariwo of the Hoho with POWERS of Appointment and Dismissal of the Members. The IM socialist Motto is: ONE FOR ALL AND ALL FOR ONE. Nagaland had seen and experienced enough of the violent, arrogant and dictatorial quality of IM democratic governance!

II. SECONDLY: PAN NAGA HOHO [PNH] WITH NSCN[IM] IN ADVISORY ROLE ON EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF NAGALAND. Nagaland is the oldest of the 7 States of the Northeast India with ‘peculiar’, ‘especial’ constitutional protection of Article 371-A on customary Social Practices not available to other States of India.

On matters of religious or social Practices, land and its resources; notwithstanding any thing passed in the Parliament, nothing shall have any affect on the Naga unless it is so passed in the State Assembly.

In governmental activities of a STATE, nothing is more important than EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT. The State of Nagaland has a Chief Minister and specific Cabinet Ministers each in charge of Education and Development Departments with well established Institutions of qualified and trained Bureaucrats for the last 57 years of Statehood. The State needs no other extra-constitutional Body of Pan Naga Hoho to Advice the State above the decisions of the august State Legislative Assembly. An extraneous Hoho would only dissect, bisect or overpass Article 371-A to complicate Nagaland.

It would be better to ban the Pan Naga Hoho with its Rider Statutory, Advisory Role of the IM than disturbed Article 371-A of Nagaland. Surpriseingly, the WC has not veto-ed such an ill adviced Agenda to Nagaland!

Thepfulhouvi Solo

eading the article “Delimitation Exercise, a must in Nagaland” by Mr. Jonas Yanthan (The Morung Express - Public Discourse and Eastern Mirror - Readers’ Mirror: Views & Reviews, both dated 10th March 2020), which made for very interesting reading, besides the insights provided, made me also realize what a hypocritical and selfish society we live in today. The delimitation exercise, which is many decades overdue is kept hanging in the balance because of vested interests.

It is truly sickening that some people are campaigning for this exercise to be kept in cold storage, with the excuse ofpending political situation and 2001 census, the latter of which has no more relevance today. Nagas have lived with this pending political settlement for too long. Are we now sure that everything will be resolved, signed and handed over on a golden platter in the next few weeks or months by the GoI?And after the final settlement, if any political group is left out, there will be no fresh problems? As mentioned by Jonas Yanthan, the delimitation exercises were carried out during very troubled times. Life today is very peaceful, except for extortion, syndicates, robbery, etc. by criminals, most of which the State Government is blissfully unaware of (read as “lacking the spine to deal with”).

The common man has been left to fend for himself. It is a pity that we have to stoop so low as to voice out the will of a few vested interests in holding the delimitation exercise to ransom.It is indeed a travesty of justice for those groups of people of the state who are consistently marginalized.

Big questions discussed every day and everywhere, by all common people is, why are

we just not growing? Where is development? Unfortunately, avarice and selfishness fog ourvision.

The state government’s budget has gone badly haywire for the past few decades because of the excessive loot of development funds.

Besides the massive corruption and inefficiency of the bloated government machinery, atinyparochialgroup will just not allow certain regionsto grow and thrive. It is time the larger constituencies take on these vested interests so that there is equitable distribution of LAD funds,for starters.

To put the LADF of Rs. 1 crore per constituencyinto perspective - for each person in a constituency with 65,643 voters, there is a development grant of Rs. 152.34p and for her/his counterpartin a smaller constituency of 7129 voters it is Rs. 1402.72p. This is a 920.78% jump in development grants. This disparity is there for all to see.

The patience of the common manis being stretched to the limit. It is like a massive spring being coiled. When released, and symptoms are for very soon, the backlash will have far reaching consequences. But those advocating halt to delimitation have enough stashed to continue living in opulence, so may not be affected, except for their temporary positions. But the actions of these few selfish individuals will leave society totally devastated.

Hope better sense prevails and the long-pending delimitation exercise is allowed to reach its logical conclusion. When settlement eventually comes, the exercise can be carried out again if the number of our constituencies is increased. God Bless the Deprived Sections of our frail society.

a progressive build-up of forces in the north-east and by end of the 1950s a division was tied down in guerrilla fighting in the Naga Hills. As the demands of the Naga campaigns increased, more battalion of the Indian Army were siphoned across Punjab to the north-east. New units were formed to sustain the Punjab force’s strength, and consequently the Army began to grow again. Assam Rifles, the erstwhile British trader’s bodyguards, was turned into semi-army force to deal with Naga militants. Hence, militarisation spread to all Naga inhabited areas and gradually entire North East. The rest is history.

We must understand that no movement in the world starts all at once like ‘Big Bang’. There is a time of birthing and development to maturity.

It’s not like a race competition where all players run together at the same line,

same timing at the sound of whistle or pistol. Naga’s way of condemning of each other by saying that ‘I came first, You came later; or my tribe started the movement first, your tribe came later; or my organization was first..etc. etc.’ doesn’t bring anything good to our movement.

Let’s respect the present leaders and save our movement. India should also know that despite disunity among the Nagas, their unique history and right to self-determination remains intact. How will the Nagas of present generation bring the concept of ‘Naga Nationhood’ to its conclusion?

Will it be inclusive, honourable and acceptable to all or will it be a region specific, piecemeal and half-baked solution? We have a bright beginning. Can we have a bright conclusion? Only time will tell us!!

Misinformation creating fear

Sir,

At times of epidemics like the COVID-19, it is important to not let fear take precedence over our mind and its peace. Our minds have the ability to destruct and at the same time, enhance our well being. Many people today have a fear of going out because of the virus scare.

I also feel like the hype is overstated through social media apps and many people buy the fake news spread on these platforms. Our phones are flooded with misinformation from offering unverified home remedies to tackle the virus, to fake advisories. Fear arises out of even the tiniest of speculations or thoughts and slowly takes hold over us.

Under its influence, illusions are created and one fails to understand the logic. False claims flourish regarding prevention and treatment of COVID-19 infections, and seem to spread nearly as fast as the disease itself.

India bans entry of cruise ships with travel history to coronavirus-hit nations

NEW DELHI/ BENGALURU, MAR 11 (PTI): India on Wednesday prohibited entry of any international cruise ship, crew or passenger with a travel history to coronavirus-hit countries post February 1, 2020 to its major ports till March 31.

To prevent the spread of the deadly virus, the Ministry of Shipping said it will allow only such international cruise ships which had intimated their call to ports by January 1, 2020. “Only those international cruise ships which had planned and intimated their call to an Indian Port not later than 1st January, 2020 will be allowed to call on such port. “Any inter national cruise ship or any member of its crew or any passenger therein having a travel history of visiting any of the Covid-19 affected countries... since 1st Feb, 2020; will not be permitted to en-

ter any Indian port till 31st March, 2020,� the Ministry of Shipping said.

The government said international cruise ships will be allowed only at ports having thermal screening facilities for passengers and crew members. If any passenger/crew member shows symptoms of coronavirus, disembarking will not be permitted, it added.

Announcing standard operating procedures (SOPs) for all international cruise ships which had intimated their call to major domestic ports in advance, the government said the shipping agent/master of vessel will have to submit all documents related to crew and passengers regarding their travel to/from Covid19 affected countries. “All passengers and crew members will have to fill the Self Reporting Form as prescribed by Ministry of Health and Family Wel-

fare and submitted to Port Health Officer. PHO will carry out thermal screening of all the passengers and crew members on board ship. Until clearance by PHO, passengers will not be allowed ashore,� the govern-

ment said.

No sick passengers/ crew will be allowed to board the ship by shipping agent/master of vessel, it added. “If any passengers/ crew show symptoms of the disease, disembarking of

such passengers/crew will not be permitted. The passenger will be quarantined on the ship. “Samples of the patient will be collected and sent to designated hospital/lab for testing. If sample is tested

positive, the passenger will be taken to the isolation facility attached to the Port and the ship will be asked to move out,� the government said.

If the sample is negative, the passengers and crew will be allowed to disembark. A declaration to follow this procedure will be taken from all ships before they are allowed to enter the port, it added.

Further, it stressed that cruise ships need to take special measures to prevent coronavirus-affected patients to board the ships in the first place.

This includes automatically denying boarding to cruise guests who have travelled through China, Hong Kong, Iran, South Korea and Italy and other affected countries in the past 14 days. It also stressed on mandatory screenings of persons with influenza-like illnesses at boarding port

terminals and said all guests onboard have to fill out selfdeclaration health forms.

It also underlined the need for regular sanitisation of ships.

India has 12 major ports -- Deendayal (erstwhile Kandla), Mumbai, JNPT, Marmugao, New Mangalore, Cochin, Chennai, Kamarajar (earlier Ennore), V O Chidambarnar, Visakhapatnam, Paradip and Kolkata (including Haldia). The government last

month had directed all 12 major ports to immediately put in place screening, detection and quarantine system for disembarking seafarers and cruise passengers as a preventive measure against the coronavirus outbreak.

The Ministry of Shipping had issued necessary directions to the 12 major ports to “place a screening, detection and quarantine system immediately for disembarking Seafarers or Cruise Passengers�.

but also provocative in nature and led to recent riots.

The plea has sought booking of these leaders under the National Security Act for allegedly continuously posting hate speeches and disturbing the country’s integrity as their speeches led

to destruction of properties in different areas of northeast Delhi. The plea claimed that no action has been taken against the politicians who allegedly delivered hate speeches, even though “impact of these hate and provocative speeches have been

seen in North East, East Delhi and Shahdara district of Delhi where instances of multiple riots and mob attacks has caused deaths, loss of properties and severe injuries in many cases�. “Delhi Police did not exercise due diligence against the political persons when hate speeches were delivered by them on public platform.

The Police did not take action against the political persons on time so as to control them from making any further hate speeches and provoke the public which has lead to such a big massacre,� the petition alleged.

the last election.

Referring to NDPP’s statement that tribal equity and dynamics of district representation were crucial factors that required widespread consultations, the party said, if it was so, then what was the ruling party waiting for in reacting to the delimitation process, adding it could have made meaningful if an all-party meeting was convened to discuss the matter.

In the light of the above, JDU suggested that instead of getting worked up with the announcement of delimitation process, an urgent all-party meeting should be convened to ponder on the frustrating delay of the ongoing peace talks.

An all-party delegation must go to Delhi and organise democratic agitation, besides meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi to serve an ultimatum on the issue, it proposed. This was stated in a press communiqué.

had literally stopped giving loans to local entrepreneurs and business houses, which had a huge impact on the overall development of the State’s economy, the statement added.

Urging the State government to take up effective measures and implement SARFAESI Act in Nagaland at the earliest, CNCCI appealed to chief minister Neiphiu Rio to peruse the matter and bring it into logical conclusion at the earliest.

It categorically reminded the government that the latter had nothing to lose.

Rather it would mitigate the educated unemployment scenario in the State and help in empowering and creating thousands of new generation of Naga entrepreneurs with potential to capitulate the state economy into a vibrant economy, the trade body reasoned.

DIMAPUR, MAR 11 (NPN): Janata Dal United (JD-U) Nagaland has welcomed the recent announcement and formation of Delimitation Commission for Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Nagaland and Jammu & Kashmir and termed it as very much justified.

As rest of the country had already completed the process of delimitation in 2008 as per the recommendation of the Delimitation Commission, 2002, the party said the matter had been long pending for these States, adding nothing could be indefinite and had to be given a logical conclusion.

Questioning the reaction of NDPP on the ground that Nagaland was exempted from the purview of Delimitation Commission of 2002 because of ongoing political talks, JDU wanted to know that if it was so, was there any special notification by Government of India (GoI) in this regard?. Further, JDU said if

NDPP was so concerned about the ongoing political talks then why it did not organise a rally or dharna in Delhi demanding expediting of the peace process, instead of using the Naga political problem as a bait to fulfil its vested political interest by making it a prominent article in its election manifesto and then abandoning it after coming to power?

JDU further asked NDPP that if it was so concerned about the ongoing political talks, then why it did not step down as a solemn sacrifice for the “frustrating delay” in the ongoing talks?. Moreover, what was the guarantee that the ruling party would step down after the peace talks were concluded when it was not able to exhibit any practical action to walk the talk while in power? it asked. According to JDU, the Nagas were keenly watching the commitment of the government and its actions towards the fulfilment of its assurances made during

(From p-1) of transparency when thousands of vacancies in the government sector had been filled up without proper interview and norms.

And this clearly indicated insincerity of the government towards the educated unemployed youth by depriving them of their rights, it added.

The party further termed Rio’s utterances during the second year celebrations as unbelievable as his government could not bring any new scheme and project during the past two years despite having close relations with the Central government by virtue of its coalition partner being BJP. “What more do the people of Nagaland expect for the remaining years with the present government when the working relations between the ruling coalition partners in the State is getting sour by the day,” it added.

by local indigenous Nagas and, in the event of a loan default, the same could be auctioned by the banks to local indigenous Nagas alone and not to outsiders.

The trade body pointed out that non-implementation of SARFAESI Act had become a hindrance for developing the State’s economy as there was no other way to mobilise capital without the banking institution playing its role.

“CNCCI is strongly convinced that keeping in abeyance the Act in Nagaland will deter banking and other financial institutions to give out loans for business purposes as no bank will be ready to lend huge sums of money without security and mortgage, since the recovery of loans from defaulting borrowers will be another huge hurdle for sound banking in Nagaland,” the statement ex-

State JD-U welcomes delimitation process

apprehension among the public and government that if SARFAESI Act was implemented in Nagaland, it could infringe upon the legitimate rights of indigenous people of Nagaland as the banks would have free hand in auctioning their mortgaged lands in the eventuality of a loan default. This apprehension was genuine as the Act seemingly violated principles of Article 371 (A), which provided special provision and privileges in respect to land. Similarly, the Nagaland government’s Land and Revenue Regulations (Amendment) Act 2002 also gave the indigenous people sole rights over land and other natural resources, it added.

In this regard, CNCCI urged the State government to immediately hold a consultation on this issue with all stakeholders, including local entrepreneurs, business houses and contractors, banks and other financial institutions, to bring about an amicable solution whereby the Act could be implemented in Nagaland with certain modifications in tune with Article 371 (A), ensuring that its implementation would not affect the tenets of Article 371 (A) or the Nagaland Land and Revenue Regulations (Amendment)

will fetch an interest rate of 6.4 per cent instead of 6.5 per cent for senior citizens.

The bank has also reduced interest rates on bulk term deposits (Rs 2 crore and above) by 15 basis points for 180 days and above tenors.

FD rates in the bulk category for tenor of oneyear and above will earn 4.6 per cent instead of 4.75 per cent.

In February, the bank had slashed term deposit rates by 10-50 basis points in the retail segment and 25-50 basis points in the bulk segment.

Further, the one-year marginal cost of fundbased lending rate (MCLR) has been reduced by 10 basis points to 7.75 per cent from 7.85 per cent earlier, the bank said.

MUMBAI, MAR 11 (PTI): The country’s largest lender State Bank of India (SBI) on Wednesday said it had reduced its fixed deposit rates for certain tenors and marginal cost of funds-based lending rates (MCLR) across various tenors.

Making it the second reduction in a month, the public sector bank has reduced retail term deposits (less than Rs 2 crore) by 10 to 50 basis points for a few tenors.

Fixed deposits (FDs) maturing between seven and 45 days will offer an interest rate of 4.5 per cent as against 4 per cent earlier.

Interest rates on FDs maturing in one year and above have been reduced by 10 basis points.

One-year to less than two-year tenor FD will earn an interest rate of 5.9 per cent against 6 per cent earlier.

FD for similar tenor

reduced by 15 basis points to 7.45 per cent each.

Three-month MCLR has been revised to 7.5 per cent from 7.65 per cent.

The new two-year and three-year MCLRs stand reduced by 10 basis points to 7.95 per cent and 8.05 per cent, respectively.

The rates became effective from March 10.

On Monday, another state-run lender Union Bank of India had announced cut in its MCLR by 10 basis points across all tenors, effective March 11.

Xi, who initially came under criticism for not acting in time to stem the virus when it emerged in December last year but later won praise for a decisive follow-up action, vowed to resolutely fight for a victory in the war against the virus, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.

Xi said the spread of coronavirus had been curbed in Hubei Province and its capital Wuhan where over 50 million people lived in total isolation since January 23 following a complete lockdown of the areas.

The initial success has been made in stabilising the situation and turning the tide in Hubei and Wuhan, Xi said.

Meeting medic representatives in the hospital, Xi said the spread of the virus has been basically curbed in Hubei and Wuhan, and attributed the achievement to efforts of the whole country

UK Health Minister tests positive

UK Health Minister and Conservative MP Nadine Dorries has said she has been diagnosed with coronavirus.

Dorries, the first MP to test positive, said she had taken all the advised precautions after finding out, and had been self-isolating at home, the BBC reported on Wednesday.

It comes as a sixth person died from the virus in the UK, which has a total of 382 cases. The latest person to die was a man in his early 80s who had underlying health conditions.

1ST DEATH ANNIVERSARY

OF OUR BELOVED LATE RABENTHUNG PATTON Dearest Dad, on this day you left us for your eternal home. But you are never forgotten, your memories still fill our hearts and keep us alive always.

Every moment we miss you deeply with silent tears.

Suhail Shaheen

Kabul, Mar 11 (AFP): The Taliban on Wednesday rejected Afghan President Ashraf Ghani’s offer to release 1,500 insurgent prisoners ahead of peace talks, saying it wanted 5,000 captives freed before opening negotiations.

Ta l i b a n p o l i t i c a l spokesman Suhail Shaheen told AFP the prisoners should be released “as a trust-building measure” before intra-Afghan talks.

Any changes amounted to a violation of the deal struck between the insurgents and Washington in Doha last month, he added.

Although Kabul was not a signatory to the deal, it stated that up to 5,000 Taliban prisoners held by Afghan authorities would be released, prompting an angry reaction from Ghani.

Shaheen’s announcement came hours after Ghani issued a decree saying the government would release 1,500 captives starting Saturday -- but only if the insurgents cut violence.

Another 3,500 prisoners would be released after talks started, a spokesman said on Twitter.

Khartoum, Mar 11 (IANS): Sudan’s Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok on Monday survived an assassination attempt in the capital Khartoum, state TV said in a report.

According to the report, Hamdok, a longtime economist, was heading to the Cabinet’s offices when the attack took place, and that he was taken to a “safe place.” The attack highlighted the fragility of Sudan’s transition to civilian rule, almost a year after pro-democracy protesters forced the military to remove autocratic President Omar al-Bashir from power and replace him with a joint military-civilian government, ABC news reported.

However, military generals remain the de facto rulers of the country and have shown little willingness to hand over power to civilians.

No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, and it was unclear what type of device caused the explosion, the report said.

Footage posted online showed two white, Japanesemade SUVs vehicles used by Sudan’s top officials parked on a street, damaged with widows broken. Another vehicle was badly damaged in the blast. Several dozen people were seen in the site of the attack, chanting: “With our blood and soul, we redeem you, Hamdok.”

OF LATE RACHAMO PATTON

The protest movement that led the uprising against al-Bashir called the blast a “terrorist attack.” The statement by the Forces for the Declaration of Freedom and Change called on people to take to the streets to “show our unity and cohesion ... and protect the transitional authority.”

After months of negotiations, the military and the pro-democracy movement reached a power-sharing deal in August, at which point Hamdok took office.

The deal established a joint military-civilian, 11-member sovereign council to govern Sudan for the next three years.

Prominent activist Khalid Omar, secretary general of the Sudanese Congress Party, said the attempt on Hamdok’s life was a “new chapter in the conspiracy against the Sudanese revolution.”

Monday’s blast came less than two months after an armed revolt from within Sudan’s security forces shut down the capital’s airport and left at least two people dead. The tense stand-off between the armed forces and rogue intelligence officers paralyzed street life in several parts of Khartoum, along with another western city.

In 1989, al-Bashir came to power in an Islamist-backed military coup and imposed a strict interpretation of religion on its citizens, limiting personal freedoms. The country was an international pariah for its support of extreme Islamists. Sudan’s transitional authorities announced in February that they agreed to hand over al-Bashir to the International Criminal Court along with other former officials wanted by the ICC.

Over 3,000 medical staff were reportedly infected with 10 fatalities.

The frontline medical workers have taken on the most arduous missions, Xi said, calling them “the most admirable people in the new era” who deserve the highest commendations.

Xi talked with patients in hospital through a video link, and expressed his wishes for their quick recovery.

Coinciding with his visit, Chinese officials announced that 14 makeshift hospitals have been dismantled in Wuhan as cases have dramatically dropped.

COVID-19: 22 new deaths in China

B E I J I N G / L O N D O N, MAR 11 (PTI/IANS): China has reported 22 new coronavirus deaths, taking the death toll to 3,158, health officials said on Wednesday, as Chinese President Xi Jinping made his first visit to the worst-hit Wuhan city and lauded the authorities and medical staff for “turning the tide” against the deadly epidemic, saying that the initial success has been made in stabilising the situation.

Twenty-four new confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus and 22 deaths have been repor ted on the Chinese mainland on Tuesday, China’s National Health Commission (NHC) said on Wednesday.

All the 22 deaths were in Hubei Province and its capital Wuhan, the NHC said.

Meanwhile, 31 new suspected cases were reported taking the total number to 285, it said.

No, Daniel Radcliffe does not have coronavirus

aniel Radcliffe has been forced to deny he has coronavirus, after becoming the subject of a widely spread Twitter hoax.

On Tuesday (March 10), a fake BBC News Twitter account claimed that the Harry Potter star had tested positive for the virus, which continues to spread across the globe.

When asked if the actor had tested positive for the virus, a representative told BuzzFeed news: “No, not true.”

The fake account fooled Twitter users by borrowing the corporation’s recognisable branding and sharing a link to an old BBC News Alerts page.

“BREAKING: Daniel Radcliffe tests positive for coronavirus. The actor is said to be the first famous person to be publicly confirmed,” the tweet read.

Before the account was suspended, the tweet was up for at least seven hours and reportedly shared at least 762 times and liked by over a thou-

sand users.

It even fooled The New York Times’ White House correspondent Maggie Haberman and Politico’s digital editorial director Blake Hounshell.

Hounshell subsequently tweeted: “Apologies, folks – fooled by a fake BBC account.”

Haberman said: “Earlier today, I RTed a fake BBC account and un-RTed when a very helpful reader flagged it. My apologies for confusion.”

According to BuzzFeed, the fake account also used the option to hide tweet replies in order to hide tweets from a reporter calling out the hoax.

It comes after the virus continues to spread across the globe, forcing the cancellation and postponement of major events in a bid to prevent further cases.

Coachella has officially announced that it will be postponed until October, while Austin’s SXSW was shelved last week.

A

newly discovered insect species has been named after Lady Gaga, after the bug’s “wacky fashion sense” was compared to the singer.

Brendan Morris, a PhD candidate from the University of Illinois, was observing roughly 1,000 treehoppers for his research project when he discovered one female bug with unique features that distinguished her from the other creatures.

In academic journal Zootaxa, Morris and his co-author – entomologist Christopher Dietrich – describe the creature’s “additional m-cu crossvein in the forewing, as well as a frontoclypeal shape.”

But it was the creature’s unique look that led Morris

to christen it the K.gaga species.

“If there is going to be a Lady Gaga bug, it’s going to be a treehopper because they’ve got these crazy horns,” he told Illinois News Bureau.

“They have this wacky fashion sense about them.

They’re unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.”

Despite being unable to extract DNA from the creature, Morris now hopes to visit Nicaragua in the hope of finding other K. gaga in the tropical forest where the original species was first collected.

Meanwhile, Gaga recently confirmed that her anticipated sixth album ‘Chromatica’ will arrive on April 10.

Mann.

That charge called for up to four years in prison, but the prosecution made no specific request.

Weinstein, wearing a suit, and the six women who testified against Weinstein were in court for the proceedings.

In an emotional statement in court, Haleyi spoke of the trauma she had endured since the attack, saying, “It scarred me deeply, mentally and emotionally, perhaps irreparably, perhaps forever.”

Prosecutors in court filings last week said the sentence should reflect not only the crimes of which he was convicted, but a

“lifetime of abuse towards others”.

More than 100 women, including famous actresses, have accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct stretching back decades, fueling the #MeToo movement against sexual abuse and harassment.

Weinstein has denied the allegations and said that any sex was consensual.

The jury of seven men and five women acquitted Weinstein on the most serious charges, a single count of first-degree rape as well as two counts of predatory sexual assault, which carried a potential life sentence.

ISL Final: Chennaiyin FC face ATK

P a n j im ( G o a ) , March 11 (IANS): ATK and Chennaiyin FC are chasing their third Indian Super League (ISL) crown, and leading the charge for the outfits will be two potent strike forces who have scored a combined 33 goals this season.

Incidentally, behind the teams’ potency in front of goal are two partnerships that have set the league alight. For ATK, it is the electric combination of Roy Krishna and David Williams. For their opponents, it is the guile and persistence of Rafael Crivellaro and Nerijus Valskis.

The battle between Krishna-Williams and Crivellaro-Valskis will most definitely have a huge impact on which team becomes the first-ever to lift the trophy three times.

Krishna and Williams are no strangers to each other, having already struck up an understanding during their time at Wellington Phoenix in the A-League before making their move to Kolkata.

They have continued their partnership in India as well, combining to deadly

effect as ATK finished second in the league stage.

They both feed off each other as the two strikers in Antonio Habas’ system and were instrumental again in the play-offs against Bengaluru FC. With ATK needing to score three goals at home, Krishna scored one and Williams hit two as ATK booked their spot in the final.

“Football is not just a one-man game. I am just playing my part. Everyone has played their role in the team’s success. I am enjoying playing alongside Williams and the number of goals between us proves that things are positive. We

have played together in A-League and that experience has helped here,” said Krishna.

Krishna is in the running for the ISL Golden Boot award. He has scored 15 goals so far and just needs one more to overtake Bartholomew Ogbeche who also has 15. He also has five assists to his name.

David Williams has scored 7 goals and has four assists despite missing a few games due to injury.

Rafael Crivellaro and Nerijus Valskis, on the other hand, have no prior connection but the two hit it off after an initial hiccup. Chennaiyin scored

no goals in their first four matches before going on to score 38 in their next 16.

Twenty one of those have come from Valskis (14) and Crivellaro (7).

While the Brazilian performs a creative role, sitting behind Valskis, he is no stranger to audacious goals. He can dribble, ping defence-splitting passes and is a huge threat with the set-pieces, something from which Valskis has benefited far too often.

The Lithuanian, on the other hand, is the embodiment of persistence.

He works hard as the focal point of Owen Coyle’s system and is often at the right place at the right moment.

But he is an excellent team player and six assists are a testimony to that. Crivellaro, meanwhile, is second only to Hugo Boumous in the assists department with eight to his name.

“He (Rafael) is a very important part of how creative we want to be and the way we want to play. We are a very attack-minded side. He is an important piece in attack, as are Nerijus (Valskis) and others,” said Coyle.

The second half was largely uneventful, with Leipzig sitting back and waiting for chances on the counter-attack against an ineffective Tottenham side that were clearly missing the contributions of two injured players -- star striker Harry Kane and South Korean winger Son Heung-min.

Leipzig then nearly notched the second goal of the night in the 19th minute, but Timo Werner was called for offside after initially appearing to score from close range on a cross from Angelino.

Angelino recorded an assist though three minutes later on another cross sent in from the left side that set

Tendulkar had taken 300 innings to get to the landmark. Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting is currently second on the list having reached 12,000 ODI runs in 314 innings while former Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara did so in 336 innings.

In the subsequent twomatch Test series, Kohli managed scores of 2, 19, 3 and 14 as India lost the series 2-0.
