Nagas should move to the future: Jamir Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, MAR 12 (NPN): Former governor and chief minister, Dr. S.C. Jamir lamented that Nagas, including public leaders, were only obsessed with the past instead of being concerned with their future destiny. He said this while speaking at the 6th annual general session of Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC) at Lotha Hoho Ki, near DC office junction, here on Tuesday. Dr. Jamir regretted that though Naga history was uniquely constructed by “our forefathers”, yet it was high time the Nagas became determined to create a new history of progress, prosperity, harmony and harmony. Referring to the CNTC gathering with representatives from Ao, Lotha and Sumi community, Dr. Jamir asked CNTC, if it regarded themselves as advanced tribes, whether the constituent tribes were in sync with changes currently sweeping the world in socio-political sphere as keeping abreast with all these lead to emergence of new scientific ideas.

Rape accused jailed for 10 years KOHIMA, MAR 12 (NPN): A local court sentenced one Bijoy Mushahari to 10 years in prison for raping a minor girl in March, 2017. Principal District and Session judge and special judge (POCSO) Kohima, after hearing the Special Public Prosecutor and the defense counsel, found Mushahari guilty and sentenced him to ten years in prison. The arrest was made following a complaint filed by Chiechama Village Youth Organization president at Kohima Women Police station, Public Prosecutor Kathu Rengma stated in a press note. The case was investigated by UBSI S. Yawao and submitted the charge sheet against the accused. During the course of investigation, ten witnesses were examined.

Dr. S.C. Jamir (NP)

He said, “We will all be judged by our ability to adapt with the changing world. We cannot remain indifferent to the changes that are taking place both in our neighbourhood and rest of the world, if we are to be considered as the most advanced tribes.” The former governor of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Goa and Odisha remarked that Nagas are at a critical juncture, not knowing which way to go. He also maintained that past education did not fit into the current advanced educational system. Dr. Jamir pointed out that Nagas in the good old days stood united, spoke in one voice and had one goal– creation of a separate homeland – under the banner of Naga

National Council (NNC) . He said the NNC followed a “democratic, peaceful and non-violence approach”. He said NNC leaders in the past listened to other people and accommodated others’ views and opinions in their political struggle. However, he observed that beginning of the downfall of the Naga political movement began with beginning of violence caused by armed conflicts between security forces and Naga armed forces. During his term as head of Congress governments, Dr. Jamir said the Nagas used to be hammered from both sides and became victims of fratricides. On factionalism within the Naga polity, he opined that the biblical term of the tower of Babel was replicated in Naga political movement and it was continuing till today. “Factionalism underground and over ground had completely undermined the goals our forefathers had set for the Naga people. They had dreamed of ‘Naga Canaan land’, but sadly it is over as the spirit of nationalism, oneness and unity had been lost due to our greediness. And here we are

today as a divided house,” he lamented. Dr. Jamir, however, saw a glimmer of hope through the efforts of all stakeholders, both over ground and underground. He said he saw emergence of a new dawn in Naga political movement with various factions engaging together and fighting for the same cause. He called for adopting a positive approach to Naga problem by appreciating difficulties of each other as this could decide “our future”. In this regard Dr. Jamir turned on the CNTC saying it was now the duty of the body and other Naga organisations to encourage all groups to work together as a team and fight for a single cause for the welfare of the Nagas. He also appealed to the CNTC not to only think about the three tribes only, but of the Nagas as a whole. Calling for a “united, progressive, prosperous, harmonious and peaceful Nagaland”, Dr. Jamir said Nagas too should have the will power to survive like the Israelis, excel in whatever they do and the will to dominate through achievements.

‘Exclusion from draft NRC not to affect voting rights’

NEW DELHI, MAR 12 (AGENCIES): The Election Commission on Tuesday told the Supreme Court that exclusion of over 40 lakh persons from Assam’s draft National Register of Citizens (NRC) will not affect their voting rights in the ensuing Lok Sabha polls if their names figured in the electoral rolls. Allaying the fears of those not included in the draft Assam NRC, the EC Secretary – who was summoned by the court—told a Bench headed by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi that exclusion from NRC will not have any bearing on their voting rights. The Bench wanted to know what action will be taken by the poll panel if a person’s name was not included in the final NRC to be published on July 31, but it was there in the electoral rolls. It asked EC to provide the data by March 28 i.e. the next date of hearing about addition and deletion of names in the revised voters’ list published in the month of January in 2017, (Cont’d on p-8) 2018 and 2019.

Our greed has given way to unsustainable living: Along Correspondent

KO H I M A , M A R 1 2 (NPN): Higher & Technical Education minister, Temjen Imna Along on Tuesday expressed regret that Nagas have randomly cut down virgin forests for vested interests, saying “we are like criminals in the line of our land use policies.” “Our greed has given way to unsustainable living,” he rued. Along made this remark during the inaugural function of the three-day international symposium on “Integrated land use management in the eastern Himalayas: Focus on Nagaland” organised by botany department of Kohima Science College, Jotsoma in collaboration with the University of Minnesota, USA, which got underway at the college premises. Though the State had some good policy makers and eminent institutions, Along noted with regret that the “biggest problem” faced by the Nagas today was that these policies did not penetrate to the grassroots level.

Temjen Imna Along (NP)

“People have great plans and ideas, but somewhere we are not able to implement on the ground,” he lamented. Expressing concern over the imminent adverse impact of climate change, the minister said 71% of the Nagas living in rural area were still practising jhum cultivation and burning down forests. “We are at the threshold where climate change is greatly going to affect the State,” he warned. He also lamented that poor performance in agricultural and horticultural sectors by the departments concerned. He said candidly that though the departments might be showing that they were doing well,

it was altogether a different story at the ground level. Towards this end, he was of the view that if the young people did not speak up and point out what was happening, then the coming generations would suffer. “We are going to have barren land and our future generation will suffer because of what we are doing today,” he cautioned. He said none from outside the State was responsible for this, but “we ourselves” for allowing it. The minister urged young minds with education and knowledge to go the villages and campaign against the hazardous practice they were indulging in, and show them the right way. This, he said would go a long way to secure a green environment, sustainable and robust economy. Despite the best efforts from the State government, he said the biggest problem was the poor living condition of the people and absence of any sustainable plan. (Cont’d on p-8)

West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC Chief Mamata Banerjee shows the candidates’ list for upcoming Lok Sabha election 2019, in Kolkata, Tuesday. (PTI) Ko l kata , Ma r 1 2 (PTI): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today released the list of ruling TMC candidates for all the 42 Lok Sabha seats in the state, dropping 10 sitting MPs and bringing in 18 new faces. The development put an end to all speculations over the tempestuous Trinamool Congress supremo yielding any ground on her home turf to the prospective partners of the proposed ‘mahagathbandhan’, a grand alliance of anti-BJP parties, of which she has been one of the most vocal proponents. She, however, did keep alive the idea when she said

the Lok Sabha polls will sound the “death knell” for the BJP and the Modi government which will be replaced by a coalition dispensation of anti-BJP parties that will create more jobs, bring about peace and stability in Jammu and Kashmir and “freedom from the pervasive atmosphere of fear”. The list, which is a mix of seasoned political players and greenhorns, has 17 women candidates, five more than the last elections, constituting roughly 41 per cent of the candidates. Apart from replacing 10 sitting MPs, she announced the names of eight new candidates for seats

the TMC had lost in 2014. Of the 42 seats in the state, TMC had won 34. Besides TMC old timers, the list includes leaders and MLAs from the Left Front and the Congress who had switched over to her party in the last few years. “Our list comprises both old and new, experienced and greenhorns. Today, we have announced our list for 2019 Lok Sabha candidates for Bengal and some other states. I am all the more happy and proud because 41% of our candidates are women. Trinamools list speaks for itself. Unity in diversity,” Banerjee said. The list includes seven candidates from the Muslim community, the bedrock of her support base, and 12 from the scheduled castes and schedule tribes. Muslims roughly form 30 per cent of the state’s electorate. The dropping of 10 sitting lawmakers and shifting of another to a new seat is being seen as an attempt to stem the infighting in the party. Among senior leaders who were given the go-by or had “requested” Banerjee to drop them, is the partys general secretary Subrata Bakshi.

BJP MP Shatrughan Sinha fires fresh salvo at PM Modi

Patna, Mar 12 (PTI): Disgruntled BJP leader Shatrughan Sinha has fired a fresh salvo at Narendra Modi, highlighting the inconvenience caused to commuters whenever the prime minister’s convoy passes through notwithstanding his avowed dislike for ‘VIP culture’. Amid speculations that his exit from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) may be imminent, the Patna Sahib MP made the stinging attack on his official twitter handle on Monday. Sinha hoped that Modi, whom he did not name in his tweets, would bridge the gap between his “kathani” (words) and “karni” (action), “wherever” he was after the Lok Sabha election results. “Sirji, while addressing a function on the 50th Raising Day of Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) you appreciated their tremendous efforts at protecting our country and how difficult their task

Sinha said in another tweet. Last year, Sinha was stripped of his VIP status at the Patna airport, which entailed exemption from frisking and vehicular access to tarmac, in a development which many saw as being linked to his having fallen out with the BJP. There is speculation Shatrughan Sinha (File) that Sinha might be fielded

was with the VIP culture. Specially, when VIPs take advantage of their position and stature,” he tweeted. “Sirji, what about the ‘Route Culture’... Inconvenience to the public, when you travel, causing immense traffic snarls, congestion and it is said route laga hua hai,” the actor-turned-politician added. “It is an MP who becomes the PM, so why the vast difference. It should start with you, setting an example for others to follow. Hope, wish and pray that whenever and wherever you may be after elections, you will take care and bridge the gap between ‘kathani and karni’,”

as a candidate of the Grand Alliance from the Patna Sahib seat. “The Congress is not averse to fielding him on its own symbol despite a very strong anti-incumbency but the RJD (Rashtriya Janata Dal) seems keen on contesting the seat this time,” a senior Congress leader, on condition of anonymity, told

PTI. “For the Congress, it is not a matter of prestige. We hold that if Sinha contests on a Congress ticket, he may retain a chunk of his own Kayastha community votes, some other upper caste urban voters besides the RJD’s traditional support base of Yadavs and Muslims,” the leader added.

Mumbai, Mar 12 (PTI): NCP chief Sharad Pawar Tuesday said the BJP may emerge as the single largest party in the Lok Sabha elections, but Prime Minister Narendra Modi is unlikely to get a second term in office. He was talking to reporters on the sidelines of a function here. “BJP may emerge as the single largest party post parliamentary elections and will have to seek support of allies (to form the government). In that scenario, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is unlikely to get a second term,” Pawar said. The former Union minister said he will meet some regional parties across the country on March 14 and 15

in New Delhi, where further strategy of ‘mahagathbandhan’ (grand alliance) will be discussed. When asked about some regional parties going away from the Congress and NCP alliance in Maharashtra, Pawar said, “I appreciate the PWP for extending support to the NCP in the Lok Sabha election. NCP has also held talks with the Swabhimani Shetkari Sanghatna (SSS) for seatsharing, but the farmers’ front has some expectations from the Congress as well. It will be decided by these two parties.” On Monday, Pawar had said he will not contest next month’s Lok Sabha election. The 78-year-old veteran politician had said as two members of his family are going to contest the polls, “somebody had to step back.” However, Pawar had earlier announced that his party workers wanted him to contest from Madha constituency in Solapur district, currently represented by NCP leader Vijaysinh Mohite Patil.

New Delhi/Lucknow, Mar 12 (PTI): In a setback to the prospects of an opposition grand alliance to take on the ruling BJP in the Lok Sabha election, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) made it clear on Tuesday that it would not have any electoral tie-up with the Congress in any state for the polls beginning April 11. In a statement, BSP supremo Mayawati said, “It is being made clear again that the Bahujan Samaj Party will not have any electoral alliance with the Congress in any state.” Her remarks came on a day when the highest policy-making body of the Congress -- the Congress Working Committee (CWC) -- met in Ahmedabad, led by party president Rahul Gandhi and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi. Referring to her party’s pre-poll alliance with the Samajwadi Party (SP) in Uttar Pradesh, Mayawati said it was based on “mutual respect” and “honest intentions”, adding that “the SP-BSP alliance is perfect enough to defeat the BJP, especially in Uttar Pradesh”. The SP and the BSP stitched together an alliance in Uttar Pradesh recently, keeping the Congress out, though the two parties decided not to field any candidates in Rae Bareli and Amethi, the traditional strongholds of the grand old party. Of the 80 Lok Sabha seats in the state, the SP will contest 37 and the BSP 38, leaving three for the Ajit Singh-led Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) and two for Sonia Gandhi (Rae Bareli) and Rahul Gandhi (Amethi). The BSP will put up its candidates mostly in western Uttar Pradesh, including Saharanpur, Bijnor, Nagina, Amroha, Meerut, Gautam Buddh Nagar, Bulandshahr, Aligarh, Agra and Fatehpur Sikri. Besides, the party will contest Aonla, Shahjahanpur, Dhaurahra, Sitapur, Misrikh, Mohanlalganj, Sultanpur, Pratapgarh, Farrukhabad, Akbarpur, Jalaun, Hamirpur, Fatehpur, Ambedkarnagar, Kaiserganj, Shrawasti, Domariyaganj, Basti, Sant Kabir Nagar, Deoria, Bansgaon, Lalganj, Ghosi, Salempur, Jaunpur, Machhlishahr, Ghazipur and Bhadohi.

No alliance with Cong in any state, says Mayawati

The Centre has repeatedly denied any irregularities in the mega defence deal with France. Ambani has also emphasised the government had no role in the Rafale manufacturer Dassault picking up his company as a local offset partner. Later, talking to reporters, Rahul Gandhi rejected the notion that political atmosphere in the country has changed in favour of the ruling BJP after the Pulwama terror attack and the subsequent air strike on a JeM camp in Pakistan. He claimed that key issues such as farm distress and unemployment will remain at the core of the April-May polls. “I don’t think so,” he said when asked by reporters whether he feels the political atmosphere has changed after the terror attack and the air strike. “See, apart from corruption and farm distress, another important issue is jobs. Unemployment has increased due to demonetisation and GST. “Unemployment ratio is at a 45-year high today. People are still angry as their expectations were not fulfilled. Employment generation was a complete failure,” he said.

Still miles to go

year has passed since the present ruling Progressive Democratic Alliance (PDA) government in Nagaland was installed to office on March 8, 2019. The PDA is an alliance that is 33member strong (one fell vacant following the demise of an NDPP legislator). The annual report card of the PDA is not much to talk about but at least there has been some sincere effort to effect a change. All political commitments are subjected to the vicissitudes of social and economic environment even though the intent and purposes were more political than practical. The first thing that the PDA did after coming to office, was to promise repair of all pot-holed roads in the state within 100 days. It also promised to do away with the VIP culture and also usher in economic progress, improve power supply etc. Of roads, there has been some effort and some roads have been repaired but certainly not all roads. On the economic front, the promise to unveil and implement the Start-Up (made in Nagaland) has yet to fructify though there was the intent. There appears to be a lot of ideas being germinated in the corridors of power. However, the reasons for the good sounding ideas are different from ideas that are based on good sound reasons. The difference between ideas and achievements is serious implementation. One year isn’t enough to show major achievements but nevertheless it is incumbent upon the government that it’s time to walk the talk. The issues that have plagued every government is the very first measure the PDA sought to impresscutting down on wasteful expenditure- which has been now almost forgotten. However, it needs to be reminded that people aren’t actually known for saving and which is also reflected in the government. Toning up administration is essential and also a time for the government to seriously give total independence to the district and police set ups to enforce the rule of law. It is time to respond to the growing challenges. Ensuring effective administration will also contribute a lot towards good governance and discouraging corrupt practices. Several crucial departments such as home, police, medical, fire services, education, power, roads and communication etc. should be given specific time-bound tasks to uplift themselves to a level where they can play the role of catalysts for economic development. Every government has the fingerprint of those who influence key decisions and the vision document of the PDA also reveals that. It may be satisfying to create visions but paper documents cannot substitute achievements, even if they may be as basic as good roads, water and power etc. The other is to step up revenue earnings through increased taxations or widening the tax net but again that would be like expecting a one acre paddy field to produce the yield of a hundred acre field. Sometimes the heart looks at one direction but the movement may end up in another direction but for all intents and purposes, all political commitments are best meant to sound good. On the second year, the PDA need to focus more on its goals of bringing about the promised ‘change’ and turnaround for Nagaland and less on rhetoric. In pursuit of that, the sinews of good governance must exhibit the political will to curb lawlessness and corruption (khushi-Khushi syndrome) and practice of might is right (gun culture).

DailyDevotion Total Surrender Peter began to say to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You.” —Mark 10:28 Our Lord replies to this statement of Peter by saying that this surrender is “for My sake and the gospel’s” (Mark 10:29). It was not for the purpose of what the disciples themselves would get out of it. Beware of surrender that is motivated by personal benefits that may result. For example, “I’m going to give myself to God because I want to be delivered from sin, because I want to be made holy.” Being delivered from sin and being made holy are the result of being right with God, but surrender resulting from this kind of thinking is certainly not the true nature of Christianity. Our motive for surrender should not be for any personal gain at all. We have become so self-centered that we go to God only for something from Him, and not for God Himself. It is like saying, “No, Lord, I don’t want you; I want myself. But I do want You to clean me and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I want to be on display in Your showcase so I can say, ‘This is what God has done for me.’ ” Gaining heaven, being delivered from sin, and being made useful to God are things that should never even be a consideration in real surrender. Genuine total surrender is a personal sovereign preference for Jesus Christ Himself. Where does Jesus Christ figure in when we have a concern about our natural relationships? Most of us will desert Him with this excuse— “Yes, Lord, I heard you call me, but my family needs me and I have my own interests. I just can’t go any further” (see Luke 9:57-62). “Then,” Jesus says, “you ‘cannot be My disciple’ ” (see Luke 14:26-33). True surrender will always go beyond natural devotion. If we will only give up, God will surrender Himself to embrace all those around us and will meet their needs, which were created by our surrender. Beware of stopping anywhere short of total surrender to God. Most of us have only a vision of what this really means, but have never truly experienced it.

He is well-known for his work The Art of War, an influential work on military strategy, which is still printed and widely read even after 2,500 years. The book “The Art of War” has thirteen chapters that describe how to factor in all important variables when trying to win a conflict. Each chapter explores these in detail and teaches that the application of military force must be used with a multidisciplinary approach, such as geography, economics, politics, and psychology. In Chapter One, Sun Tzu says that the art of war is governed by five factors which a General should take into account before going to war: (1) The Moral Law – to ensure soldiers to be in complete accord with their leader so that they will follow him regardless of dangers; (2) Heaven – having an expert knowledge of day and night, cold and heat, times and seasons so that

one can adapt his strategies accordingly; (3) Earth – taking into consideration issues of distances, open grounds and narrow passes, and the chances of life and death; (4) The Commander – exhibiting virtues of wisdom, sincerity, benevolence, courage, and strictness; and (5) Methods & Discipline – the marshalling of the army, proper subdivisions, the graduation of ranks among officers, the maintenance of roads by which supplies can reach the armies, and the control of expenditure. These five things should be familiar to every General. “He who knows these five things well will win any battle,” says Sun Tzu. Without going into the details of the remaining twelve chapters, let’s pick a few pieces of Sun Tzu’s wisdom from here and there in the book and use them to evaluate if both Nagas and Indians have been attempting to resolve their political conflict in a way consistent with Sun Tzu’s teaching. In my opinion, India has been successfully applying Sun Tzu’s “Art of War” tactics (and Machiavelli’s

politics) to deal with the be recognized as the Naga Naga people. For example, Constitution, which Sun recruiting the Naga young- Tzu would have applauded sters into the Indian Army as a superb ploy because “All and getting many educated warfare is based on decepNagas into the Indian civil tion.” But what Nagas need service have dealt a near- to remember is this example: death blow to the Naga The United States’ Congress freedom movement.

lose their lives in crossfire? What if some Naga Human Rights activists get tortured for free speech? If Sun Tzu were alive today, perhaps he would ask India to consider whether any such action could truly advance India’s cause in today’s world. Perhaps he would ask: “Are the reasons for which you are fighting worth the cost of further war – not just in terms of money but also in terms of human suffering? Can you truly win if you lose in today’s information war? For India’s sake, avoid prolonging the conflict anymore. And yes, it’s high time to leave the Nagas alone … on moral ground.” As for the Nagas, Sun Tzu could possibly say that they are also doing all the wrong things in their fight against India. He may say to the Nagas: “You have lost your opportunity to wage a guerrilla war against India because of accepting her offer of statehood. You can no longer adopt a “formless strategy which adversaries cannot attack because it exists everywhere and nowhere.” (In the 1960s, General Vo Nguyen Giap, a

North Vietnamese military genius who adopted Sun Tzu’s war tactics, waged a guerrilla war and defeated the Americans despite their overwhelming military power.) Now, you Nagas must change your strategy and adapt according to the times. By the way, let go of all your bitterness against India. Stop allowing your emotions to cloud your judgment. Remember, you can never win until you start fighting with your head.” After all, Sun Tzu said: “It is more important to outthink your enemy than to outfight them.” “Know your enemy and know yourself and in a hundred battles you will never be in peril.” “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.” Lastly, I'd like to think that Sun Tzu would give to the Nagas this final piece of advice: “Be courageous to assert your right to be an independent nation, but do so without any violence. And to make things easier for yourself, earn India’s trust and gain her confidence because in her prosperity lies your prosperity as well.”

Post-mortem NNC faithfully pursues Nagas of Nagaland sin the ‘non-violence’ path more than people of Nineveh

here is no denying the fact that the Indian Union got liberated by and from the Imperial British yoke after one very protracted and tenacious struggle against the adamant regime by pursuing the Indian Grandfather Mahatma Gandhi’s profound weapon of Non-Violence and Non-Cooperation Policy. It is therefore not too great a wonder that the Nation reveres and respects his name and memory most highly up to this very day. But most tragically ironical is the case where the Government of India does not deal with the Nagas in the same humane Gandhian ideology. Here are a few instances; the proverbial tip of the iceberg, to vindicate and qualify the gospel truth of India’s heinous hypocrisy:1. On October 18, 1952 while there had been a silent procession being taken out in Kohima Town protesting the atrocious actions of the Assam Police on innocent Nagas; one Assam Police officer, cursed with an additional thumb on his right hand (supernumerary!) bearing the ignominious name of Mr Dutta fired point-blank from his service pistol, most unprovoked, on Mr Zasibito Nagi and killed him in the coldest of blood. 2. With the coming of Mr Satyanath Barkataki, most appropriately nick-named “the Assam-Tiger” as the Deputy Commissioner of Kohima; hordes upon detestable hordes of Assam Armed Police Battalion men (infamously referred to as A.P Bn) were brought over to terrorise the peaceful Nagas by house-searches, arresting and beating the people without the flimsiest of rhyme or reason. 3. On November 15, 1954 the Indian Armed Forces surrounded the modest Village of Yimpang (47 houses) and opened indiscriminate fire on the trapped populace therein butchering 57 fellow human beings most out of turns; having been masterminded by Mr Kar the Cur and Maj Kathing the Scathing. The oldest to have perished had been Mr Chudangba (97 yrs old) and the youngest one Master Temsümeren ( just 15 days young); their crime – being Nagas, nothing whatsoever else! 4. As a retaliatory action against the shooting down of the IAF Dakota airplane by the Naga Army in combat, at Phor area; the Indian Army unleashed its savagery on the unarmed villagers of Phor, Moka, Yisi and Matikhrü, slaughtering 19 Nagas in total. Special in its notoriety had been the butchery of the 9 victims of Matikhrü Village (25 houses), most dastardly perpetrated in ‘forced’ public view most sadistic and gory! One wonders most seriously: had the Nagas been four-footed, may be the Indians would pay more respect to them; at least by the estranged BAHU Madam Meneka Gandhi of People For Animal (PFA) fame. In extremely stark contrast the Nagas had been most ‘Non-Violent’ even to our own amazement:1. After the glorious establishment of the Federal Government of Nagaland (March 22, 1956) – even though it had been just; on March 24, 1956 the Naga Home Guards (later Naga Army) could most successfully capture and disarm all

of 78 men of the Assam Armed Police Battalion at Satakha. They were later on released en-bloc without the slightest bit of harm coming on their person, except for their pride and honour, if they had any – that is. 2. On the fateful day and date of August 26, 1960, the Naga Army could shoot down one IAF Dakota plane in active combat at Phor Indian Army Outpost, Thuda. The pilot, Flight Lieutenant Anand Singha and 8 of his subordinates were captured. Utmost restraint had been exercised and superb courteous fellow feelings were lavished upon the captives and within no time 5 of the Airmen were released via Imphal and 4 of the Officers were detained for obvious tactical equations. They were then set free when their presence was not fetching any dividends, and they were handed over to the Burmese Government for safe passage before India could kill them (several attempts were desperately made!) and blame the Nagas with the crime most grim. One most interesting facet of this fiasco would be the letter written in captivity by Flight Lieutenant Anand Singha to his sister Mrs Kalpana Kartik (born Mona Singha) who was none other than the dear wife of the legendary Actor Dev Anand, having been published in some Bollywood Film Magazines (ex 1961/62); would surely make much of an interesting reading - that! Shri P V Narasimha Rao as the Prime Minister of India (21.06.1991 – 16.05.1996) was heard to have spoken most eloquently on Mahatma Gandhi’s virtues, more particularly on the NonViolence Policy in an exceptionally lengthy speech in Paris. So also all the other politicians of India, both the great as well as the otherwise; would brag about our dear BAPU without end, most rightly! Then the Nation in her wisdom chooses to display his grand picture most prominently on her (inflation-prone) currency notes; nothing ever more correct. However, most unforgivably, his values and virtues are being more and more shunned away from, most sinisterly deliberate; taking sarcasm to the extreme perilous unredeemable levels by the day. Has not the time arrived when India finally should start walking her profound Talk?!! The population of Nagaland is frightfully meagre and her land is not only unpardonably narrow but also most apologetically restrictive. But for the most undisputable of facts, this tiny strip of land never forms part of India neither are the measly Nagas Indians most by far. The fact of this statement is by no means, one of any sacrilegious utterance both before God and man. The Nagas stand ever most confident in the never failing loving kindness of the magnificent God for all time and eternity. The Naga National Council most diligently pursues the age-old path of Sovereignty, irrevocably confirmed by the Plebiscite most majestic. “Not by the unscrupulous crowd but by the eternal truth”. “Not by vain might but by the unshakable righteousness”. Zapuvisie Lhousa, Member CEC, NNC

ins of the people of N i n e ve h r e a c h e d H e ave n a n d G o d became restless whether to destroy Nineveh city within forty days or not. God doubted repentance of people from their sins and so God told Jonah the second time saying arise and go unto Nineveh that great city and preach as I had bid you. Jonah arose and went unto Nineveh, an exceeding great city of three days journey and Jonah began to enter into the city and he cried, “yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown so the people of Nineveh repent and believe God and proclaim a fast and put on sack cloths from the greatest of them event to the least of them. God’s words came unto the king of Nineveh and he arose from his throne and he laid his robe from him and covered with “sackcloth” and sat in ashes. And he caused it to be proclaimed and publish through. Nineveh by the decree of the king and his noble saying let neither man nor beasts, herd nor flock taste any-thing, let them not feed, nor drink water but let man and beasts be covered with “sackcloths” and cry mighty unto Lord God. Yea, let them turn everyone from his “evil” way, and from the violence that is in

their Hands. Who can tell if God will turn and repent and turn away His fierce anger that we perish not? And God saw their works, that they turned from their “Evil God repented of their evil that he had said that he would do unto them and he did it not (Jonah.3:1-10)”. He who bluff God by bluffing others will not go unpunished as God will target those people who are involved. God’s plan was to overthrow Nineveh within forty days but due to the repentance of people from their sins, Nineveh was saved. How great rejoice. God is kind hearted as and when sinners’ repent from their sins. Then and thre God forgive their sin irrespective but once forgiven it should not be repeated again, failing which, the years of the wicked shall be shortened. Therefore if anyone want to live prolonged days fear the Lord God. For what is a man profited if he/she shall gain the whole world and lose his/her own life/soul? Or what shall a man/woman give in exchange for his/her soul.(Math. 16:26). Everybody should read Bible for confirmation. Ask and it shall be given you, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall opened unto you, for everyone that asked received and

he that seek fineth and to him that knocked it shall opened (math.6:7-8). But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved (24:3-14). Confess your faults one to another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of righteous man availed much. Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are; and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain; and it rain not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed yet again and the Heaven gave rain and the earth brought forth the fruits (James.5:18). Let none of you suffer as murder or as thief or as an evildoer or as evildoer. Or as busybody in other men’s mattes. (1.Peter.4.15). Heaven and Ear th shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. (Math.24:35) I am Alpha and Omega the beginning and End. He said, I will be their God and they are my sons/daughters. But the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable and murders and whoremongers shall and sorcerers and idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire.

Reader’s Post Fight climate collapse

Dear readers of Nagaland Post, We are students from a small town in south-east Germany and started a project through which we want to inform the world, especially other young students, about the possibility to cool the world. We would be very grateful, if you could consider publishing the following article. Over the last decades we have seen that the approach to climate change hasn't worked. Our generation and all the following generations are going to have to live with all the consequences like drowning deltas like around Kolkata and coastal areas like Mumbai and Chennai. Even increasing forest fires, droughts and floods, creating famine and hunger. Our goal is a stable climate in which humans and nature can live well. This is only going to be possible if the global temperature doesn't rise above a maximum of 1.5°C. The scientists say Indian ones too, that anything above this level is not acceptable, or it will lead to climate collapse. The only possible is to cool our planet. To achieve our goal the governments need to put a price on all emissions, and use the proceeds to paying for cooling measures but especially also to give money to poor people around the world to alleviate negative effects of these price increases. The most important aspect is to cool the planet, especially the Arctic and Antarctica to stop the temperature from rising any further. By cooling the earth gradually and reducing emissions together we can keep the temperature increase below 1.5°C and cool it down even more in the longterm. Technology is there and cheap compared to all the consequences we'd have to bear. Possibilities to cool the world are to increase the albedo of the world's surface or shade the earth with particles (which scientists from Harvard are testing at the moment). But more tests have to be undertaken but governments have to act.

(From p-1) While Neiphiu Rio’s Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (in Nagaland) and Zoramthanga’s Mizo National Front (in Mizoram) would obviously not leave the lone seats in Nagaland and Mizoram to the saffron party, it would be difficult to convince Conrad K. Sangma’s National Peoples’ Party (NPP), a member of NEDA, to share even one of the two seats in Meghalaya, he said. The tribals, who constitute 27-28 per cent of the population in the region, always play a significant role in the politics of the mountainous region. According to Manipur University Professor and political observer Chinglen Maisnam, the Citizenship Bill has changed the mindset of the people in the region during the past two months. Maisnam also said that non-publication of the contents of the Naga peace talks agreement and the agitations for hiking salaries and allowances of the government employees as per the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission and few other local issues would affect the electoral prospects of the BJP and somewhat help the Congress.

B Prasanna, Head, Global Markets Group, ICICI Bank said, “Headline inflation for February moved upwards to 2.57 per cent as per our expectations. “The upward movement was driven primarily by a sequential rise seen in various food groups, except in vegetables. Core inf lation moved down slightly as expected, reflecting easing of input costs, pricing powers and growing slack in the economy.” The earlier spikes seen in rural health and education seem to have stabilized for the moment, he said.

New Delhi, Mar 12 (PTI): Retail inflation jumped to a four-month high of 2.57 per cent in February due to costlier food articles, according to official data released Tuesday.

In his keynote address, Dr Dean Current, director of Centre for Integrated Natural Resources & Agricultural Management, University of Minnesota, said there were conflicting narratives on jhum and shifting cultivation like this was unsustainable due to increase in population and reduced land area, leading to short fallows and degradation. While farmers were responding to social, economic and environmental changes through innovations, he said the shift from extensive jhum cultivation to settled agriculture activities also required sustainable land use management. Sharing his experience in Mizoram, Current said with an integrated approach there has been increase in fallow periods, while farmers were shifting to settled agriculture by abandoning jhum cultivation.

The lending rate offered by commercial banks is in the range of 8.15 per cent to 8.55 per cent. PSU banks are cautious and “are not in favour of cutting rates as deposits and household financial savings are at low-level even while policy rates are down; the rates paid by the government on small savings are significantly higher than bank deposit rates. “Savings schemes of the government through post offices return between 7-9 per cent annually along with tax benefits, while over a two year term deposit with banks, give them a return of 6.8 per cent. Bank deposits are also growing at a much slower pace than credit forcing lenders to offer higher rates to get depositors. While bank lending has been growing at more than 14 per cent year-on-year as of February, deposit growth has been at 9 per cent,” as per RBI data.

LIC as promoter too did not respond to queries. The SBI had caused a raised eyebrow when it linked deposit, loan interest to RBI’s repo rates voluntarily. While the RBI guidance was to pass on the benefit of falling interest rates to borrowers by linking lending rate to an external benchmark, SBI also linked its savings bank rates (over a limit of Rs 1 lakh) to the external benchmark. By doing this SBI became the first bank to announce linking its interest rates on deposits and loans to an external benchmark from May 1, 2019. This was expected to be followed by peers. RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das in February met the top lenders asking them to pass on the benefit of repo rate cut to the customers after it had reduced its repo rate by 25 basis points to 6.25 per cent.

New Delhi, Mar 12 (IANS): Public sector banks are in no hurry to follow big brother SBI in linking their deposit and lending rates to the RBI’s repo rate, which may further irk the Reserve Bank of India for not transmitting the lower interest rates to the customers. While some of them do admit that ultimately linking to repo rate might happen but they are not firm on the time of such commitment. Also, several PSU banks have not responded when asked if they planned to go for the external benchmark linking with repo rate. A Punjab National Bank source told IANS: “No decision has been taken, but bank will take a call soon. Other banks have to follow suit sooner or later.” A Bank of India source said no such decision has been taken. Bank of Baroda did not respond to the queries sent on the same.

Michael Kyle Sewell, the teenaged recruiter, told Jesus Wilfredo Encarnacion, 29, whom he was guiding that “he should not join the IS because IS had no territory”, instead he suggested the “LeT and the Taliban” as “worth joining”. The “LeT was a wellfunded group in Pakistan operating in Kashmir, Afghanistan and India”, is what he said according to court filings.

he world’s first postage stamp, the British ‘Penny Black’ of 1840, and a collection of over 150 rare postal stamps from Hyderabad of the Nizams - - offering an insight into the postal system of the erstwhile princely state - are currently on view in New Delhi for the first time. Exhibited at the Bikaner House, the show of stamps, postcards, letters and other ephemera is titled “Property of A Gentleman: Stamps from the Nizam of Hyderabad’s Dominions”. It presents rarities from the Ewari Family Collection. The collection, com-

prising 3 million stamps, dates back to the Postmaster General Nawab Iqbal Hussain Khan under Hyderabad’s seventh and last Nizam, Mir Osman Ali. Carried forward by his grandson, the collection is represented by 158-odd stamps here in its first-ever display anywhere. Hyderabad, one of the earliest princely states to adopt stamps, printed

its own stamps from 1869 onwards until it became a part of the Indian Union in 1949. It, however, could not use the human figure on its stamps being a traditional Muslim state. “So, unlike other countries that use the monograms of the rulers -- and even Penny Black which has the Queen’s face on it -- Hyderabad could not do it,” the show’s curator Pramod Kumar K.G. told IANS. Endowed with rich architecture, landscapes and cultural heritage sites including Ajanta Ellora caves, architecture was the next natural choice. (IANS)

‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ sequel being discussed

fter a big awards haul at the Oscars 2019, “Bohemian Rhapsody” could land a second movie, according to Queen’s music video director Rudi Dolezal. According to pagesix. com, the director says the band and its management are lining up behind a sequel to the smash hit “Bohemian Rhapsody”. Dolezal, who directed videos for the band, and became close with late Freddie Mercury during his life, gave a hint on a possible sequel during an interview about Queen’s manager Jim Beach. “I’m sure he plans a sequel that starts with Live Aid.” Dolezal added that the follow-up film is now “being heavily discussed in the Queen family”. “Bohemian Rhapsody”, which was released in India by Fox Star Studios, is a biopic on Mercury and the band Queen, and explores the rise of the band with a focus on the Indian-origin lead singer’s personal life, his sexuality and the way he dealt with his fame. Beach also produced “Bohemian Rhapsody” which has made more

than $870 million worldwide. The rock biopic won four Oscars last month and was nominated for Best Picture. The movie ends with Mercury and the band’s iconic Live Aid performance, which is around the time that Dolezal began working with Queen -- beginning with their 1985 song “One vision”. He ended up doing around 30 videos for the band and its members, ending

with Mercury’s final video shoot for “These are the days of our Lives” in 1991, the same year the singer died. Queen guitarist Brian May has hinted about a sequel to the film, and that there’s more of Mercury’s tale to tell. He quipped in an interview of the project, “I think Live Aid is a good point to leave it. Who knows, there might be a sequel”. (IANS)

It’s been replicated on songs like The Jesus and Mary Chain’s Just Like Honey, The Hollies’ Just Like A Rock, Lykke Li’s Sadness Is A Blessing and Duran Duran’s Is There Something I Should Know. Incredibly, the riff came about by accident: “I was supposed to play the snare on the second beat as well as the fourth, but I dropped a stick,” Blaine later admitted. In later years, he published his memoirs, appeared at symposiums and gave lessons to aspiring drummers. A statement from his family said he died peacefully at home. (BBC)

al Blaine, one of the most prolific and influential drummers of his generation, has died at the age of 90. Over the course of his career, he played on countless hits by Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, the Beach Boys and John Lennon, amongst others. But his most recognisable riff was the “boomba-boom-crack” bar that opened The Ronnettes’ Be My Baby. On hearing of his death, the Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson called him “the greatest drummer ever”. “Hal Blaine was such a great musician and friend that I can’t put it into words,” Wilson said in a tweet, posting a photo of him and Blaine sitting at a piano. “Hal taught me a lot, and he had so much to do with our success - he was the greatest drummer ever.” Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, who played at Blaine’s 90th birthday party last month, added: “Godspeed Hal. He gave us all so much. Feeling very blessed to have celebrated his life with him.” “Today I regrettably have to say goodbye to Hal,” added Ronettes singer Ronnie Spector on Facebook, thanking him “for the magic

Tokyo Olympics clock hits 500-day mark

Rio Olympics athletics silver medalist Shota Iizuka and karate athlete Kiyo Shimizu and school students with pictograms of Tokyo 2020 Olympic sports events during a celebration to mark 500 days to go, in Tokyo.

T o k yo, M a r 1 2 (Agencies): The Tokyo Olympic clock has hit 500 days-to-go in the Japanese capital’s countdown to the Games in 2020. Organisers marked the milestone on Tuesday, unveiling the stylised pictogram figures for next year’s Tokyo Olympics. The pictogram system was first used extensively in 1964 when Tokyo lasted hosted the Olympics - just 19 years after the end of World War II. A crude picture system was first used in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, and later in London in 1948. But the ‘64 Olympics originated the standardised symbols that have become familiar in every Olympics since then. Ja p a n e s e a t h l e t e s posed with the pictograms

and their designer Masaaki Hiromura and organisers also toured regions that will host Olympic events, including the area north of Tokyo that was devastated by a 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Unlike other recent Olympics, construction projects are largely on schedule. The new Olympics stadium, the centrepiece of the games, will be completed by the by the end of the year at a cost estimated at $US1.25 billion ($A1.77 billion). That’s not to say these Olympics are problem free. Costs continue to rise, although local organisers and the IOC say they are cutting costs or at least slowing their rise. Overall, Tokyo is spending at least $20 billion to host the Olympics.

Gareth Bale in Wales squad C a r d i f f, M a r 1 2 (Agencies): Gareth Bale is in Wales’ squad for their friendly against Trinidad and Tobago and Euro 2020 qualifier against Slovakia, following injury. Bale turned his ankle in the closing moments of Real Madrid’s Champions League defeat to Ajax and sat out the 4-1 La Liga win at Valladolid on Sunday. Rotherham midfielder Will Vaulks is called up for the first time as James Chester and Andy King miss out through injury. Aston Villa defender Chester has not played since the end of January because of a knee problem, while Leicester midfielder King will not play again this season after damaging an ankle during a loan spell at Derby. Ryan Giggs’ squad meet Trinidad & Tobago in a Wrexham friendly on March 20 before starting

their Euro 2020 campaign against Slovakia in Cardiff four days later. “I was worried like everyone else when I saw it,” said Giggs, regarding Bale’s injury for Real Madrid. “But it’s only a kick and he should be fine.” Giggs also confirmed that Ashley Williams will remain as Wales captain during their Euro 2020 campaign. The 34-year-old defender is on loan at Championship side Stoke from Everton. “He will be captain - as long as he in the squad,” Giggs said. The Wales boss also explained the decision behind the team training at Manchester United’s Carrington. “It was a no-brainer in my head,” Giggs added. “I want the best preparation for international football. The players were unanimously behind it.”

About 75 per cent is public money, although costs are difficult to track with arguments about what are - and what are not - Olympic expenses. That figure is about three times larger than the bid forecast in 2013. Tsunekazu Takeda, the president of the Japanese Olympic Committee and a powerful International Olympic Committee member, is also being investigated in a vote-buying scandal that may have helped Tokyo land the Olympics. Takeda has denied wrongdoing and has not resigned from any of his positions with the IOC or in Japan. He is up for re-election to the Japanese Olympic Committee this summer and could face pressure to step aside.

FIFA urged to consider human St. Mary’s School sports meet underway rights for 2022 WC expansion Zurich, Mar 12 (Agencies): FIFA must put human rights at the heart of any decision to increase the number of Middle East countries hosting the 2022 World Cup, leading global pressure groups urged Tuesday. In an open letter to FIFA President Gianni Infantino, the groups say he should state publicly that human rights would be a consideration if the sport’s governing body increases the number of teams from 32 to 48. “Given the possibility that an enlarged 2022 World Cup could potentially require additional countries to host the tournament, we remind FIFA of the commitment it has made to enshrine human rights, transparency and sustainability... in its bidding process,” reads the letter. “As such we call on you (Infantino) to publicly confirm that any assessments of potential co-hosts for 2022 would follow a process that includes these criteria.” The letter is signed by Amnesty International, Football Supporters Europe, the Gulf Centre for Human Rights, Human Rights Watch, ITUC, Transparency International, the UNI Global Union and the World Players’ Association. It has been sent ahead of this week’s FIFA council meeting in Miami. On the agenda is the proposal to expand team

numbers in 2022 which, in all likelihood, would mean tiny Qatar, which has championed the compact nature of its event, having to share matches with neighbouring nations. However, this is complicated by the fact that the super-wealthy gas-rich state is locked in a diplomatic dispute with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. With those two countries seemingly out of the picture, it was reported last week that FIFA was considering using Kuwait and Oman to host matches in 2022 in the event of a 48team World Cup. Despite this week’s meeting, FIFA is not expected to make a decision until later this year. Amnesty’s Steve Cockburn said there were “clear human rights risks” associated with any expansion of the 2022 tournament, the first to be played in the Middle East. Since being controversially chosen as host in 2010, Qatar has come under intense pressure on human rights, especially with regard to the rights of workers building World Cup stadia and infrastructure. In May 2017, FIFA published a human rights policy, in part due to the fallout over its decision to select Qatar as 2022 hosts. The World Cup will definitely become a 48-team tournament from 2026, when it will be hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Church Stands on Closure of Shops on Sunday Ao Baptist Pastors' Fellowship which was held at Ao Baptist Church Diphupar, Dimapur on 5th - 7th March 2019 unanimously decided to stand firm with the Biblical truth and its teaching to keep the Sabbath day Holy. A day of Christian assembly and worship and not for gathering of the manna's on the Sabbath day. The salvific history of Exodus wanderings reminds us that God provided manna and was allowed to gather the manna for the six days only, with enough even to feed the people during the Sabbath day which is also known as the Lord's day. A day in remembrance that God created the universe in six days and then "rested" on the seventh day (Ex 20:8-11). Therefore the Ao Baptist Pastor's Fellowship affirms with the closure of markets in and around Nagaland rather to give more attention in worshipping our creator, savior and provider.

FC Goa through to ISL final Beat Mumbai City FC 5-2 on aggregate in Semi-final

Players of FC Goa and Mumbai City FC in action during their ISL semi-final second leg at the Fatorda Stadium, Margao on Tuesday.

M a rg ao, M a r 1 2 (Agencies): A narrow 1-0 win was nowhere near enough for a desperate Mumbai City FC who were knocked out by FC Goa 5-2 on aggregate in the 2018-19 Hero Indian Super League semi-final at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Fatorda, on Tuesday. Rafael Bastos scored the only goal of the match in the sixth minute but the visitors struggled to take advantage of their early lead and score more goals. A resolute Goa stood firm to ensure a place in the final and will battle Ben-

galuru FC for the coveted trophy at the Mumbai Football Arena on Sunday. Mumbai got off to a promising start and took the lead in the sixth minute. Arnold Issoko intercepted a sloppy pass from Ahmed Jahouh and dribbled forward through the centre. Issoko picked out Bastos’ run into the box from the left and the Brazilian slotted the ball past goalkeeper Naveen Kumar. Goa soon took control of the game and passed the ball in and around the Mumbai box in search of an equaliser. The Island-

ers’ defence, led by Lucian Goian, stood firm and closed down gaps. Jahouh was pickpocketed again midway through the first half and Bastos sent Modou Sougou clear into the box. Naveen pulled off a good save and the rebound was cleared by a recovering Mourtada Fall. A Paulo Machado strike from outside the box was deflected off target by Jahouh and a Bastos free-kick flew over the bar before the break as Mumbai piled the pressure on Goa and sought more goals. At the other end, a Jackichand

Singh cross was headed wide by Hugo Boumous, leaving the Mumbai defenders on their toes. Ferran Corominas, who had been silent in the first half, tried to influence the flow of the game after the break. The Spanish striker’s shot from outside the box three minutes after the restart was saved by Amrinder Singh. In the 56th minute, Jackichand’s cross from the right was punched by Amrinder into the path of Corominas whose shot rattled the crossbar. Mumbai looked to increase their lead as the second half progressed but struggled to create clear-cut chances against a stable Goa defence and an alert Naveen Kumar. Machado split the defence with a through-ball into the box for Bastos in the 70th minute but a sliding challenge from Seriton Fernandes and a clearance by Naveen denied the visitors. Sougou came agonisingly close to scoring a goal late in the game as the striker’s effort missed the post by a whisker. A curling Matias Mirabaje free-kick was kept out by Naveen but a miraculous comeback was already out of sight by then as Goa marched into the final.

I’ll sacrifice CL dream for PL title: Salah

L o n d o n, M a r 1 2 (Agencies): Mohamed Salah says he is ready to sacrifice his own Champions League dream to help Liverpool win their first Premier League title. Jurgen Klopp’s side are currently second in the league, one point behind Manchester City with eight games to go. They face Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich in the second leg of their Champions League last16 tie on Wednesday with the tie finely poised after a goalless draw at Anfield. Although Salah admits the Champions League is the most “prestigious competition” for him, he would be happy for Liverpool to win the Premier League instead. Salah said, “I will be honest with you, the most prestigious competition for me is the Champions League. But the dream for the entire city and the club is the league.” “So, I am happy to sacrifice my dream for their dream but if we win both that would great and this is what we are trying to do.” The Egyptian international said he hopes that leaders City will slip up with Liverpool, and himself, ready to capitalise. “The competition is very tough and we have difficult games left as do they,” added Salah.

Osaka into 4th round at Indian Wells

Naomi Osaka returns a shot to Danielle Collins during the 3rd round match of Indian Wells Open in California.

Indian Wells, Mar 12 (Agencies): World number one and defending champion Naomi Osaka powered past American Danielle Collins 6-4, 6-2 on Monday to book a fourthround meeting with resurgent Swiss Belinda Bencic at Indian Wells. Japan’s Osaka traded breaks with Collins early in the first set. But she got the decisive break in the ninth game, giving herself a break point with a backhand winner before pouncing on a short ball and belting a forehand winner to give herself a chance to serve for the set. An increasingly confident Osaka broke Collins at love for a 2-1 lead in the second. She finished out the next game for a 3-1 lead and led 5-1 before Collins saved a match point to hold and make Osaka serve out the match.

Collins, trying to build on a breakout run to the Australian Open semi-finals, failed in her bid to avenge her 6-1, 6-0 loss to Osaka in their only prior meeting in Beijing last year. And Osaka, whose first career title came at this prestigious WTA premier mandatory event last year, advanced to a meeting with Bencic, the 23rd seed who defeated Russian Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-4, 6-2. In other third-round action, three-time Grand Slam champion Angelique Kerber came from a set down to beat Russian qualifier Natalia Vikhlyantseva 3-6, 6-1, 6-3. After dropping her serve in the first game of the second set, Kerber won seven games in a row to force a third set and take a 2-0 lead in the decider. She was unable to convert four match points

against Vikhlyantseva’s serve at 5-1 and was broken at love when serving for the match at 5-2 before finally putting it away. She’ll be doing the same in the round of 16 against Aryna Sabalenka, the ninth seed from Belarus who defeated Lesia Tsurenko 6-2, 7-5. Seven-time Grand Slam winner Venus Williams also found it tricky facing fellow American Christina McHale for the first time, but she pulled back early breaks in each set to win 6-2, 7-5. She’ll fight for a quarter-final berth against Mona Barthel, a 7-5, 1-6, 6-4 winner over Julia Goerges in an all-German contest. Fifth-seeded Czech Karolina Pliskova relied on a solid service game in a 6-3, 6-2 victory over Belgian qualifier Ysaline Bonaventure. She next faces Estonian Anett Kontaveit.

HCHSS annual sports meet begins Utd trigger Pereira contract extension London, Mar 12 (Agencies): Manchester United have triggered an option in Andreas Pereira’s contract to extend the midfielder’s deal by a further 12 months. Pereira has featured eight times under caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer this season. He has benefited from the team’s injury crisis, scoring his first Premier League goal in a 3-2 win over Southampton at Old Trafford ear-

lier this month, as well as assisting Romelu Lukaku. Pereira also played a key role in United’s stunning Champions League last-16 second-leg comeback against Paris Saint-Germain last Wednesday. Solskjaer, familiar with Pereira from his spell as United’s reserve team manager, has reinstated the Brazil international to his preferred advanced midfield role.
