Amit Shah allays fears over NPR Says no documents need to be furnished to prove citizenship NEW DELHI, MAR 12 (PTI): Allaying fears over the National Population Register (NPR), Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday said no citizen will be marked ‘D’ or ‘doubtful’ during the updating exercise and no documents need to be furnished to prove citizenship.

Also, it is not compulsory to provide any information not available with an individual, he said.

Shah gave the clarification during his reply to a debate on communal riots in Delhi which he said were triggered by alleged hate speeches made after passing of the new citizenship law that gave non-Muslim illegal migrants from neighbouring nations Indian citizenship.

Shah said over 700 FIRs have been registered and 2,647 persons arrested in connection with the Delhi riots based on evidence.

The updating of NPR is to be done during six

KVC opposes Tizu hydro project

DIMAPUR, MAR 12 (NPN): KotisĂź Village Council (KVC) has expressed opposition to the construction of hydro project at Tizu River under Phek district.

months beginning April 1 with enumerators seeking demographic and other particulars of each family and individuals. “No one from minority community should have any doubt regarding CAA and NPR,� he said. “I want to set the record straight. No document will be required to be furnished in the NPR exercise.

It wasn’t done in the past and it won’t be now.� Also, people will be free to provide whatever information they have, he said. “No one will be required to give information which is not there,� he said on apprehensions of residence of parents being asked in the NPR and absence of it casting doubts. “No ‘D’

will be marked� for anyone not providing information, he said.

He was responding to senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal expressing apprehension of enumerators marking ‘D’ against any an individual not answering all questions in the NPR. Shah offered to clear any other doubts over NPR to a small delegation of opposition leaders if they wish to visit him.

He said no section of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) provides for taking away of citizenship of anyone.

NPR is a register of usual residents of the country. The data for NPR was last collected in 2010 along with the house-listing phase

of Census 2011.

There are apprehensions that those not having citizenship documents could be identified in the NPR for action at a later date.

Oppn demands judicial probe into Delhi violence: Opposition parties on Thursday panned the government as well as the police over Delhi violence last month that claimed over 50 lives, and warned that the spread of the “communal virus� would eventually pose to a threat to democracy.

Taking part in a shortduration debate in Rajya Sabha on the recent law and order situation in some parts of Delhi, some Opposition members said the “communal virus� being unleashed by the BJP was “no less harmful� than the coronavirus.

If the “virus� is spread among the youth, democracy will be destroyed, senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal said, initiating the discussion. Condemning the “delay� in action to curb the riots and alleging intelligence “failure�, several Opposition members demanded a probe by a Supreme Court judge.

As the Centre and the states ramped up their efforts to tackle novel coronavirus, which has claimed at least 4,600 lives globally and affected nearly 125,293, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked the countrymen not to panic and asserted that the government was fully vigilant.

Modi also urged people to avoid non-essential travel, saying, “we can break the chain of spread and ensure safety of all by avoiding large gatherings.�

DIMAPUR, MAR 12 (NPN): The criticism of the PDA government by NPF over the latter’s claims of achievements has once again triggered a war of words between NDPP and the principal opposition party in the State.

In a statement, the ruling party observed that the oldest regional party was perhaps yet to grasp and accept the reality even after two years that the mandate of the people of Nagaland was with the PDA, and therefore was unable to conduct itself as a responsible opposition party.

This only exposed the sorry state of affairs within the party and mental state of its leaders for having to sit in the opposition bench, it added Referring to NPF’s allegation of poor infrastructure, including roads, NDPP said this only showed how

egoistical mindset of NPF had blinded it to huge improvement in the condition of roads and other infrastructure in the past two years after the PDA government had taken over.

It suggested that the opposition party should open its eyes to the various people-centric programmes and activities undertaken by the PDA government for the people’s welfare, besides paying attention on the roads and infrastructure.

Mentioning that NPF had much to answer to the people for mis-governance, corruption and disunity between 2014-18, the ruling party asserted that it was for the people of Nagaland to decide whether the PDA government was doing well or not and not the opposition party, which produced the worst regime in the history of the State under its

leaders TR. Zeliang and Dr Shurhozelie Liezietsu.

Responding to NPF questioning the PDA government on the Naga political issue and human rights activists of the State, NDPP expressed shock that the opposition party would resort to these matters when its own legislators were very much a part of Joint Legislators’ Forum (JLF) as well as members of Core Group of JLF since all issues on the peace process and related matters were discussed threadbare in the JLF meetings and the Core Group.

NDPP said such immature statements exposed the poor state of affairs within NPF since in any political organisation there was constant communication between elected representatives and party organisations.

Temjen Imna Along Longkumer along with officials and party workers of BJP Mokokchung district on March 12.

DIMAPUR: Minister of Higher & Technical Education and Tribal Affairs and Nagaland state BJP president, Temjen Imna Along Longkumer urged the BJP workers in Mokokchung to be “call-centric” and work for the welfare of the people as the Bharatiya Janata Party in India was there to empower the “unempowered” people in the country.

A press release from BJP Mokokchung district media cell convenor, M. Along Longchar stated that, Along urged upon the BJP Mokokchung district leadership to have a vision and serve the people while addressing at the meeting held on March 12 in Mokokchung. He mentioned about the different central schemes initiated

by prime minister Narendra Modi like Ayushman Bharat Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojna for benefitting the people in the villages and rural areas.

Sharing his dream of a different Nagaland that was beautiful, prosperous and empowered, Imna Along challenged the Mokokchung BJP leaders to be conscious leaders and serve the people resiliently.

He also praised the newly elected president of BJP Mokokchung district, Imolemba Jamir for his leadership in taking the party forward towards a higher position.

Creative writing session conducted at Tetso College DIMAPUR: Tetso College in collaboration with DOT talks conducted a session on writing for Tetso students titled “memory, nostalgia and orality in creative writing” with assistant professor in English, St. John College and writer Inakali Assumi on March 12 at the college auditorium.

A press release from the college stated that, while quoting Dr. Kevizonuo Kuolie’s comments on the book, Assumi highlighted that her book, “the yellow dress” encompasses stories “from childhood to old age, from comic to tragic plots, from light to darker themes” and asserted that the characters in the book were very dear to her.

Inakali, who is currently pursuing a PhD from Nagaland University shared that she mainly draws inspiration from memories, dreams and imagination in her process of writing. “Memories play a crucial role in our lives and are the storehouses of all the good and bad days we have seen and experienced,” she stated, adding that memories are potential stories which we often choose to keep to ourselves and intrigues us to think about the past with a sense of nostalgia.

She opined that memory and orality were inter-

connected especially in the Naga context which was why Nagas feel at home when they hear folktales or listen to folksongs. She challenged the audience to utilise the oral form of storytelling into writing which has been passed down from our forefathers in order “to preserve what is almost on the verge of being lost and forgotten.” This she said was imperative to let the world know about the Naga way of life and culture through writing.

Further, she maintained that creative writing should come from within the person and was something which cannot be forced upon. While encouraging the students to read as much as possible, Assumi expressed optimism that the younger generation has taken a liking to reading. “The more we read, the more we grow,” she maintained.

Meanwhile, an interaction was also held where the writer answered queries from students.

It may be noted that Assumi’s debut book titled “potpourri poesy”, which she co-authored with Soyimla Akum, was published in 2018 by Cyberwit publications. She also wrote, “the yellow dress” which was published by Pen Thrill publications on February, 2020.

Eco-friendly solar study NGT committee approves auctioning COVID-19: Manipur orders lamp for students in Tripura of 2 lakhs MT of extracted coal closure of schools till Mar 31 Amit Shah’s visit to Manipur postponed

Correspondent IMPHAL, Mar 12: Stepping up precautionary measures to prevent spread of COVID-19, Manipur government has ordered closure of all schools and restricted mass gatherings of more than 100 persons with effect from Thursday.

The proposed visit of Union home minister Amit Shah to the state has also been postponed to April 15.

In its intensified measures to prevent the spread of novel corona virus, Manipur government had already sealed the international border with Myanmar. Stepping up further preventive measures, Manipur government declared holiday for all schools till March 31 in the public interest.

Examination already scheduled including theory and practical of exam conducted by Board of Secondary Education Mainpur (BOSEM) and Council of Higher Secondary Schools (COHSEM) will however not be affected, an order issued by the state education department said.

Commissioner (schools) T Ranjit Singh issued on Thursday stated the step has been taken up to ensure reduction of mass gatherings and to avoid spread of COVID-19 cou-

pled with other precautionary measures taken up in the state, adding that private schools will also be covered by the order.

The state government has also banned any gathering of more than 100 persons except for family rituals like marriage, shradha etc in the state.

For any such gathering, prior approval of the deputy commission concerned must be obtained, the home department stated, adding that DCs may consider the request and grant permission in case of unavoidable circumstances and should not grant permission as a routine.

The home department stated restriction has been imposed considering the need to take up necessary measures to reduce mass gatherings to prevent spread of COVID-19 in the state.

All public meetings, conference, workshops, conventions etc. should be avoided in view of the threat of COVID-19, the home department added.

The steps have been taken up in line with a recent advisory of the Union ministry of health and family welfare on March 5 asking states to avoid mass gatherings, while also issuing office memorandum asking DCs of all districts to take

appropriate action.

Meanwhile, the proposed visit of Union home minister Amit Shah to the state has been postponed to April 15. He was scheduled to visit the state on March 15 to attend a programme to mark the completion of three years of the BJP-led coalition government in the state. The state government has requested the Union home minister to postpone his proposed visit as the state government is concerned about public health.

The IPR minister who is also a spokesperson of the government also made a fervent appeal to people of the state to reduce mass gathering, especially during Thabal Chongba considering the fast spread of COVID-19 in the country.

Although there is no confirmed case of COVID19 in the state as of now, the state government has taken up certain steps in the border areas and the state’s airport, including screening people entering the state.

Informing that the World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared the COVID-19 a pandemic considering its seriousness, the minister said that the government of India has also suspended tourist visa into the country till April 15.

Agartala, March 12 (IANS): The Tripura government would provide 6,00,000 environmentfriendly Solar Study Lamps (SSL) to students for sustainable illumination to aid poor school children in their education, officials said on Thursday.

According to the official of Tripura Renewable Energy Development Agency (TREDA) in the Union Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) sponsored SSL scheme, 80 per cent of the fund was borne by the central government and the remaining by the state government.

“We are taking a token amount of Rs 10 only from the beneficiary student. In the first phase we would provide the SSL to 3,00,000 poor students and in the second phase we would supply additional 3,00,000 SSL”.

“The state government had already approached the MNRE to sanction more 3,00,000 SSL for the northeastern state, whereas some tribal and remote villages grid supply electricity not ensured for 24X7,” TREDA Director General and CEO Mahananda Debbarma told IANS. Tr i p u r a ’s D e p u t y Chief Minister Jishnu Dev Varma, who holds the Power, Finance and Rural Development De-

partments, on Wednesday, initiated the supply of SSL at a function at Bishramganj in western Tripura.

Mahananda Debbarma said that the SSL scheme offers affordable and environmentally sustainable illumination to aid school students in their education in the fastest and most effective manner.

“Besides education, the scheme’s other objective is to economically empower women and, most importantly, curb kerosene dependency and stop pollution indoors.”

The TREDA chief said that the solar lamp also reduces school dropouts and protect the health of children and their families. Villagers in many remote and tribal areas use costly and environmentally harmful kerosene oil for lighting lamp in the absence of electricity.

“Kerosene not only contribute to household costs and cause high levels of indoor pollution, but considering their per unit cost of lighting, are highly inefficient for the brightness and range of light they provide.”

“The solar study lamp is strictly for schools and students in interior villages,” said the official of TREDA, which is Tripura’s nodal agency for implementing new and renewable energy projects in the state.

SHILLONG, MAR 12: The National Green Tribunal (NGT Committee has committee has approved the auctioning of 2 lakhs metric tons of extracted coal in Meghalaya, Chief Minister Conrad Sangma said on Thursday.

Sangma also informed that the state government would soon come up with procedures for environmental-friendly and scientific mining shortly.

“The NGT committee has approved on a pilot basis auction of 2 lakh metric tons of coal out of the 32 lakh metric tons,” Sangma told reporters.

The break-up of the auction from different districts of the State are - East Jaintia Hills - 75,000 MT, West Khasi Hills - 50,000 MT, South West Khasi Hills - 25,000 MT, and South Garo Hills - 50,000 MT. Sangma said transportation of the auction coal temporary deposit will be set up and strict environmental norms followed in every depot during the auction and transportation.

“Several checks and balances like the presence of CIL officials and full proof security measures like the QR code will be introduced, hologram, fugitive ink and four copies of challan,” the Chief Minister said.

Sangma said that measures have been put in place to ensure transparent mechanism in place, includ-

ing online auctioning at an all India level by the MSTC limited platform.

MSTC is a government PSU. The auctioning price of the coal will be as per the rate of Coal India Limited.

“We hope that through these process of auctioning we will be able to obtain the highest price for our coal,” the Chief Minister said, while adding that through the same process, 32 lakh MT of coal will be auctioned at a latter stage which will enable revenue earning of about 500 crore,” he said.

Asked when legal mining will start in the state, Sangma said, “One has to understand that the land and ownership of coal has been given to the landowner.”

“It is the landowners, who have to speak now to consultants, prepare their mining plans and apply through the state government to the central government to get approval for their mining plan. Therefore, the onus now lies on the coal

miners,” he said.

However, he said that the state government can guide them and take them to the consultants and prepare a rough procedure of environment-friendly mining plan.

Stating that every mine is unique as it has got different topography, aspect, nature and all those things have to be taken into consideration, the Chief Minister said, “Every miner or landowner will have to go through their own process to do that, but what we have done as a government is, we have started sensitizing the people in over 4 to 5 districts.”

He also said that the government has identified consultants who will guide mine-owners Sangma said that the government is also preparing a draft for scientific mining which is again not copy-paste as it has to be modified and adjusted according to the specific needs of miners.

He said three parties have applied and it is expected that 15 more will come forward as it is a scientific process, which requires technical expertise.

“We hope things will move fast and if all goes well, the Central government should give permission for the mining plan at the earliest. We hope very soon mining will start, but it will depend on the Centre’s approval on how well the plan is prepared,” Sangma said.

‘Around 1,800 doctors’ engaged on Centre sanctions Rs 365 cr for Sabroom ICP in Tripura contract to meet shortage in Assam’ mediate requirement, state Health minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said.

The state government has also engaged 12,528 non gazetted employees against 3,999 posts lying vacant, the minister said in a reply to a question of Rupjyoti Kurmi of the Congress.

The posts were lying vacant in health facilities of the state under Health and Family Welfare (A) Department.

MP Speaker issues notice to 22 rebel Cong MLAs Scindia left his ideology for Asks them to appear and clarify on resignations by Friday BHOPAL/BENGALURU, MAR 12 (PTI): Putting the ball in the court of the 22 rebel Congress MLAs in Madhya Pradesh, the Assembly Speaker has asked them to appear before him

by Friday and clarify whether their resignations that pushed the 15-month-old Kamal Nath government to the brink of collapse was voluntary or under pressure.

The move by Speaker N P Prajapati came amid high drama when a MP minister Jitu Patwari was allegedly detained and stopped by the police from entering a resort near Bengaluru in BJP-ruled Karnataka where 19 of the 22 MLAs were believed to be holed up. The 22 MLAs who were issued notices are stated to be supporters of Jyotiraditya Scindia. Scindia quit Congress and joined the BJP on Wednesday.

Police sources said the minister was briefly detained along with his supporters as he tried to enter the resort.

A video purportedly showing the minister picking up heated arguments with the police has also gone viral. According to sources, Patwari had come with an apparent intention to con-

N P Prajapati vince the rebel MLAs who included six ministers to return to the party fold.

The Congress, however, alleged two ministers from MP were arrested by police in Bengaluru.

Talking to reporters at the state Congress office in Bhopal, party MP Vivek Tankha said the two ministers, Jitu Patwari and Lakhan Singh, had gone to Bengaluru along with the father of party MLA Manoj Choudhary, who he claimed, had been held “captive” by the BJP at the resort. Both the Congress ministers were also assaulted by policemen in Bengaluru, alleged Tankha, who is also a senior Supreme Court lawyer.

As the fate of the Congress government hung in balance, the BJP said it will seek a floor test in the Assembly on March 16 to test the majority of the ruling party. The Congress, however, said it will face the floor

test only after the Speaker decides on the resignations of the 22 MLAs. The Speaker has asked the 22 rebels to appear before him by Friday to clarify whether they have resigned voluntarily or under any pressure, said Vidhan Sabha principal secretary A P Singh.

Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh wondered why the rebel MLAs were not meeting the Speaker to submit their resignations.

BJP’s chief whip in the Assembly Narottam Mishra said since the government has been reduced to a minority the opposition party is going to request the Governor and the Speaker for a floor test on March 16 when the state budget session begins.

“This government has lost majority,” said senior BJP leader and former chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan. When asked about the BJP’s demand, Digvijaya Singh said the chief minister is ready for a floor test.

“As Kamal Nathji has already said we are ready for the floor test. But, there should be a decision on the resignation of MLAs before the floor test,” Singh said, while blaming the BJP for the constitutional crisis in the state.

“The resignations will be accepted when the MLAs meet the Speaker one-onone and verify their signa-

tures without any pressure.

Then the resignations will be accepted and the floor test can be conducted,” he said.

Singh said the rebel MLAs should now go to the Speaker and clear the air.

“Nineteen Congress MLAs are in their (BJP’s) captivity. The family members (of MLAs) are unable to talk to them. Their phones were taken away,” Singh alleged, adding it is also strange that the resignations of the Congress MLAs were submitted to the Speaker by BJP leader Bhupendra Singh.

The BJP claimed this is an “internal matter” of the Congress, but at the same time leaders of the saffron party submitted the resignations of the ruling party (Congress) MLAs to the speaker, Singh pointed out.

On Tuesday, 22 Congress MLAs resigned in a coordinated revolt soon after Scindia quit the party. Three of them are still in Madhya Pradesh, sources said.

The Congress has a wafer thin majority in the 228member Assembly. Before the rebellion, its tally was 114. It also has the support of four Independents, two BSP MLAs and one from the SP, but some may now switch sides to the BJP. If the resignations of the 22 MLAs are accepted, the strength of the Assembly will fall to 206. The Con-

gress, on its own, will then be left with 92 seats, while the BJP has 107 with the magic number for a majority being 104.

BJP to seek floor test in MP Assembly on March 16

The BJP in Madhya Pradesh will seek a floor test on March 16 in the wake of 22 Congress MLAs resigning in the state, a senior BJP leader said on Thursday.

The 15-month-old Kamal Nath-led government has been facing deep crisis following the resignation of 22 Congress MLAs after former Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia quit the party on Tuesday.

“Since the government is in minority, we are going to request the governor and the Assembly speaker for a floor test on March 16 when the state budget session begins,” BJP’s chief whip in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly Narottam Mishra told reporters here.

The governor and the speaker have the resignations of 22 MLAs. Now it is up to them to take a call, he said.

“This government has lost majority,” senior BJP leader former chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said here. The Congress has a wafer thin majority in the 228- member Assembly.

Before the rebellion, its tally was 114.

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi speaks to media, at Parlaiment in New Delhi, Thursday. (PTI) NEW DELHI, MAR 12 (AGENCIES): A day after his former aide Jyotiraditya Scindia joined the BJP, senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Thursday that the Madhya Pradesh leader abandoned his ideology and went with RSS because he was worried about his political future.

Scindia quit the Congress on Tuesday and joined the BJP a day after. Soon after his induction, the saffron party named him as a candidate from Madhya Pradesh for the upcoming Rajya Sabha polls. Speculations are rife that Scindia would also be made a minister in the Narendra Modi

Govt completely failed in Delhi government declares COVID-19 an epidemic tackling coronavirus: Cong and one each from Delhi, Ladakh and Uttar Pradesh as well as one foreign national.

Surjewala claimed the truth was that “knee-jerk reactions and unthoughtful decisions” are the the only two things governing the country.

“I dont think a pandemic like coronavirus can be dealt with in this casual fashion. It is really sad the Union health minister is himself a doctor. The prime minister is also a doctor of entire political science,” he said. “At least both of them should have known that such reactions will not prevent coronavirus. Prevention is the key for stopping the spread of coronavirus,” he said and asked whether adequate steps being taken for prevention of coronavirus. Hand sanitisers are being black marketed in Delhi at Rs 500, the Congress leader claimed. “There are no masks available in the national capital of Delhi.

What will happen to the rest of India? I think the prime minister should re-calibrate his strategy. We will, as a responsible opposition, support every step taken to prevent the coronavirus from spreading,” Surjewala said.

remain shut till March 31.

Also, all schools and colleges, except those where exams are being held, will remain shut till March 31 due to coronavirus. The government has declared coronavirus an epidemic,” he said. Kejriwal said that his government is fully prepared to deal with COVID19, asserting that more than 500 beds in hospitals are ready to admit coronavirus patients if needed.

In the meeting, measures taken so far to tackle coronavirus were reviewed, Kejriwal said. “Whatever we are doing is to deal with coronavirus. I hope that all will support us. In the entire world, coronaviurs is rapidly increasing, but in India, we all have so far been able to contain it. If we are cautious, we can save our country from coronavirus,” he said.

Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia

also issued an order, saying “All educational institutions -- schools, colleges, ITIs, polytechnics, universities and private coaching and tuition centres -- will remain closed till March 31, except for holding examinations.”

“The students can be asked to attend the school, college, institutions only to take board exams, term end exams and semester exams,” he added. After the meeting, Baijal tweeted, “Reviewed preparedness to contain the COVID - 19 in Delhi with Hon’ble CM @ArvindKejriwal, Hon’ble Health Minister @SatyendarJain, CS, Delhi & other officers.Decision taken to close schools, colleges, cinema halls, etc. for sometime to minimise the possibility of spread.”

In another tweet, the LG advised Delhiites to avoid unnecessary travel to crowded areas in the city.

“My advice to all to

avoid unnecessary travel to crowded areas. Let’s take all possible preventive measures as far as possible,” he tweeted.

The number of coronavirus patients in the country has risen to 74 with 14 fresh cases, including a foreign national. The national capital has so far recorded six cases of coronavirus. According to a statement issued by Baijal’s office, the lieutenant governor directed municipal bodies, DUSIB, deputy commissioners of 11 districts to set up quarantine facilities.

“The LG further directed health department to ensure immediate steps to augment facilitation of sample testing, quarantine & tertiary care at designated hospitals.

He directed all concerned to have extensive training and capacity building for staff to fight against the threat of deadly novel coronavirus,” the statement stated.

cabinet.

“This is a fight of ideologies. On one side is Congress and on the other side is BJP-RSS,” Rahul said while talking to media in New Delhi.

“I know Jyotiraditya Scindia’s ideology. He was with me in college, I know him well. He got worried about his political future, abandoned his ideology and went with RSS. What he is saying and what is in his heart is different,” Rahul said, adding that Scindia would not get respect in the BJP. Asked why he is not sending his core team members to Rajya Sabha, Rahul

said: “I am not the Congress president. I am not taking decisions on Rajya Sabha nominees.”

On Wednesday, Rahul dismissed reports that he had refused to meet Scindia for months.

“Scindia is the only one who can walk into my house anytime... He was with me in college,” Rahul said.

Meanwhile, the BJP confident of forming the government in Madhya Pradesh with Scindia’s help as 22 MLAs, including his supporters, have resigned from the state assembly reducing the Kamal Nath government to a minority.

Initial focus to bring back Indian pilgrims stranded in Iran: MEA NEW DELHI, MAR 12 (PTI): Coronavirus outbreak is a matter of “great concern” and the government’s initial focus is to bring back Indian pilgrims stranded in Iran, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Thursday.

Speaking on the situation arising out of the spread of the coronavirus, he said there are over 6000 Indian nationals in various provinces of Iran.

These include about 1100 pilgrims mainly from the union territories of Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir, and Maharashtra.

Besides there are nearly 300 students, primarily from

Jammu and Kashmir; about 1000 fishermen, including from Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Gujarat; and others who are on longer term stay in Iran for pursuing their livelihood and religious studies.

Over the last few days, the government has been making focused efforts for the safe return of the stranded Indians, he said.

Jaishankar said during his recent visit to Srinagar, he met parents of some of the students who are in Iran. “I assured them that the government would facilitate the earliest possible return of their children.

Sampling of these students has begun today,” he said.

NEW DELHI, MAR 12 (PTI): The government has “completely failed” in tackling coronavirus, the Congress said on Thursday and accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of being “negligent” towards the health of the people.

The steps taken by the government in dealing with coronavirus were “inadequate”, Congress’ chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala alleged. “The government has completely failed in tackling coronavirus, in preventing it, in identifying people (affected by the virus), in quarantining them, and in taking important steps,” he said. “This government runs on knee-jerk reactions, whether it comes to taking economic steps to revive or stabilising the economy and to prevent economic corona from affecting the investors’ lifetime savings, or preventing coronavirus from spreading in this country,” the Congress leader told reporters outside Parliament.

According to the Union Health Ministry, the number of coronavirus patients in the country has risen to 73 with 13 fresh cases, including nine from Maharahtra

NEW DELHI, MAR 12 (PTI): The Delhi government on Thursday declared coronavirus an epidemic and shut all cinema halls, schools and colleges, except those where exams are on, till March 31.

The government also made it compulsory to disinfect all public places, including government and private offices and shopping malls, every day in the national capital. The decision was taken at a high-level meeting attended by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, LG Anil Baijal and top government officials.

Talking to reporters after the meeting, the chief minister said his government was making arrangements for quarantine facilities at vacant flats owned by Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) and underconstruction hospitals.

Virus goes viral

ven before the World Health Organization (WHO) finally woke up to the reality on the global spread of Covid-19 or Coronavirus, it had already spread to 114 countries where 118,000 have contracted the virus and more than 4300 died as on March 11,2020. Covid-19 is caused by the virus, known as SARS-CoV2 believed to have originated in bats and spread to human. The virus first started infecting people in Wuhan, China, last year in late November or early December. In December, when the virus ravaged Wuhan and rapidly spread across several Chinese provinces and also nearby countries such as Korea, Japan, Singapore etc, WHO did not deem fit to declare it as a pandemic situation. Now WHO says that Covid-19 is likely to spread further across the globe.That itself is a frightening scenario.

Already, several countries have already imposed a travel ban which has badly hit international flights including travel by ship or trains.WHO officials had said earlier they were hesitant to call the outbreak a pandemic in case it led governments and individuals to give up the fight. This is a specious argument and only raises suspicions whether it was due to some lobbies to not create an economic crisis. WHO stressed that fundamental public health interventions can still limit the spread of the virus and drive down cases even where it was transmitting widely, as the work of authorities and communities in China, Singapore, and South Korea has shown. Brazil’s health minister Henrique Mandetta has criticised WHO for its slow response which he said, has only complicated work by health authorities. After months of confusion, health authorities will now be enabled to direct anyone with symptoms to report to a health care unit for further tests. Earlier, when WHO declared Covid-19 as an emergency, health authorities could only direct travellers arriving from China to undergo tests. In India, Covid-19 has resulted in a meltdown in stock markets to their lowest since 2008. So far, there are over seventy confirmed Covid-19 cases which also include the 16 Italian tourists. Closer to the north east, one traveller to Bhutan who had spent some days in Guwahati was tested positive. The mammoth challenge of undertaking random thermal then laboratory tests and quarantine etc in India, is no mean task.This can be gauged from the statement of union health minister Dr. HarshVardhan who informed the Lok Sabha that more than 600,000 people had been tested for the virus at the country’s 21 airports and 77 seaports. He also said more than 27,000 people living in five states near the border with neighbouring Nepal have been put under surveillance and a million people tested in the area.

However, the efforts are inadequate to halt the spread.

This is because the incubation period - between infection and showing any symptoms - lasts up to 14 days.

Some researchers say it may even be up to 24 days.

That means many people who test negative at air and seaports may be carrying the infection into India’s teeming cities and villages. To add to the challenge, the quality of public health system is vastly uneven.

Existing hospitals can be easily overwhelmed by a sudden spike in admissions. It is not clear whether there are ample supplies of masks, gloves, gowns, drugs and ventilators. A renowned Virologist Jacob John says India will struggle to handle an outbreak since an overwhelming number of the country’s health care system is woefully lacking in terms of trained manpower as well as up to date equipment.

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.

‘Namaste’ is both preventive, curative in case of COVID-19

W

ith the havoc of coronavirus, a contagious disease all around, people in common seem to be scared of it. They have a strong reason to be concerned for want of no sure cure. However, we can’t keep our fingers crossed saying that what can’t be cured must be endured. Rather, we need to realise the adage – an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

A virus is spread through coming into contact with others, more particularly with air and droplets of sneezing, sniffling or spitting. English greetings that allow handshakes, hugging, kissing or other physical contact are apt to cause an infection like coronavirus.

It has taken the lives of more than 3,000 people in China from where the killer infection has stemmed and spread all across the world. Bat soup is reported to be the root cause.

Media reports suggest that it has made an inroad into populous India also. So it is a national as well as international concern.

Take it from me, for precautionary and corrective measures India can lead the world, showing how Indian ways of greetings and lifestyles are both preventive and curative at this juncture of the global crisis. In pursuit of prevention is better

than cure, what is needed to be done is to revert to or adopt the Indian practices of social graces, etiquette and lifestyles. Avoiding non-vegetarian food is more advisable in this situation.

‘Namaste’, a respectful greeting is conveyed when meeting a person or parting from him or her. This exclamation of salutation is derived from ‘Namaskar’, an Indian tradition of greeting or showing a gesture of respect to others.

When doing so, we bring our palms together either before the face or chest, tilting our head slightly without coming into any physical contact at all. This system is derived from the Rig Veda, one of the four epics of an ancient Indian scripture.

An advisory has been issued not to shake hands, embrace, hug or kiss given that each of these greetings, compliments, good wishes is prone to the outbreak of the virus. Here comes into play the ‘Namaste’ which asks you to maintain a distance of at least a meter and shower someone with your innermost feelings. Hence, a Namaste can never cause a contagion whereas the English greetings or Muslim embracing can.

The yogic Namaste, taken from Anjali Mudra of Pranamasana is used to mean ‘I bow to the divine in you’. Such is the

Children of God…. puppets for self interest?

A

nd whosoever shall offend one of [these] little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

Mark 9:42 In August 2015 NSCN (IM) signed the Framework Agreement with Government of India taking historic step towards bringing in peace and normalcy in the region. The mere fact that all factions of Naga insurgent groups and NNPGs came together for this initiative earned accolades for the Naga leadership. The CFMG and NNPG together laid down the CFGR, the guidelines to be observed by the parties involved during their journey towards achieving the desired end state of permanent and mutually acceptable solution.

But one of the stark realities which the NSCN (IM) has conveniently shrouded under the cloak of secrecy is the employment of Children as soldiers in the Naga Army. Children facing abuse or undergoing domestic trauma in their homes are often easy prey for the insurgent cadres scouting for cannon fodder.

These children instead of receiving hope and compassion are allured into picking up the guns and made to tread the path of violence to redeem their sufferings.

Little do these gullible and impressionable minds know what lies in future for them?

The real devious motive of these indoctrinated cadres is to recruit these child soldiers to do menial jobs under the garb of fighting for freedom.

A horrifying account of life of penury and agony faced by these child soldiers, was published in an article “Kids Who Bit the Bullet” published in ‘The Week’ after the Framework Agreement was signed. In the article, the acknowledgement of recruitment of children as soldiers by a functionary of NSCN (IM) under conditions of anonymity further exposed the duplicity of the group. These children instead of studying school books are forced to handle hazardous weapons, explosives and taught to take lives of a perceived enemy including unarmed civilians. These children are

blissfully unaware of their right’s under international laws and conventions such as: International Labour Organistion Convention No. 182- Defines child soldiering as one of the worst forms of child labour.

UN Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the Involvement of Children in Armed Conflict Article 4 sub clause 1 - Mentions armed groups that are distinct from the armed forces of a state should not, under any circumstances recruit or use in hostilities persons under the age of 18 years.

(Govt of India is a signatory of this protocol since 2004) International Humanitarian Law Rule 136 - Recruitment of Child Soldiers.

Even today, these laws/ conventions are being flouted with impunity by this armed group. The most baffling thought is how the parents of these innocent children let go off their own pound of flesh without a blinking of an eyelid? Why are these children penalised for no fault of theirs? Are these parents not morally bound to provide safe and secure environment to their wards until they learn to fly.

Even the lioness protects her cubs from other beasts to the peril of her own life. Does the absolute power wrested by the insurgent leaders at the behest of guns permit them to snatch the children from their parents? On the contrary, the children of these insurgent group leaders are safely ensconced in foreign countries far away from the vagaries of life which common Naga parents have to deal on daily basis.

The time has come for Naga parents to introspect themselves, the permanent solution to the Naga issue lies in political negotiation which is presently on the table and not out there in jungles. Children are just like dispensable puppets in this show run by the insurgent leaders for their own malafide personal interests, to be thrown out once they fulfil their evil designs without an iota of remorse.

‘Amen’ Khumlamo Patton, Akuk Village

great philosophy of the Indian culture that holds you in the highest esteem and paves the way for cheerfulness and the wellbeing of mankind.

Anjali Mudra is performed as part of our yoga to achieve several benefits associated with it. One of them is to alleviate mental stress and anxiety. It takes to the meditative state of mind that controls our body, emotions, feelings and overall our thought process. There is hardly any need to link it to Hinduism which the ignorant frown at.

It would not be out of place to mention the Sanskrit maxim here that says if you greet and respect your elders, such manners augur well for four things in your life - greater longevity, education, reputation and strength.

However, respecting elders and paying homage is a social practice all across the world.

India too has its own prehistoric style of saying ‘Namaste’ providing a kind of immunity in case of coronavirus doing the rounds. The term ‘corona’ once associated with the germ virus is no longer a crown to long for.

All you need to do is prevent yourself from any temptation or occasion linking to this bug.

In response to frantic responses against Covid-19

A

s Covid-19 that has now sickened about 100,000 people and caused more than 3000 deaths, it breaks your heart to see how certain sections of people across the world have responded to the pandemic in ways which are outrightly shameful, disturbing, and blown out of proportion.

While haters lost no time to launch their campaign against China, where the virus said to have originated from, by posting faulty and digressive contents on the internet and social media, some politicize it by pushing outrageous and irresponsible rhetoric in attempts to bring their political opponents down, still, others dangerously spiritualize it by putting religious adherents at risk of potential exposure to the virus, what’s more, discouraging the infected to seek medical attention.

All these responses and the like are in complete defiance of the ethical principle that one should not put individuals at risk of harm.

While it’s only natural for people to differ in the way how they perceive and communicate information or react to a particular occurrence, sadly, many have been misled and are easy prey to the irresponsible fake news and rumors circling especially on social media networks.

Covid-19 doesn’t care who you are, what your political ideation is, or what belief system you subscribe to. No country or race is immune to infection.

As responsible citizens of the world, we have an unmistakable

moral obligation to do what is right by recognizing and acting on the principles of truth, righteousness, and neighborly love. We should ensure that not only what we know is based on facts, but even as we discuss suffering, calamities, and diseases, we should do so in a way that is compassionate to other fellow citizens. * People should refrain from making wild catastrophic reactions based on panic and fear. * Neither overly rational comments will help, but only put at disadvantage of the efforts to stop the spread of the virus. * They should refrain from generating fake news and * spreading unverified information, * hoarding face masks and hand sanitizers, and * manipulating it to serve their sophistic rhetoric.

This is a time when must stand together and be proactive; share, and catalyze resources in combating the deadly virus and in protecting our own health and well-being including the health and well-being of all individuals around us.

Christians across the Nagaland State have a burden to continue praying and interceding for those who have lost their loved ones to the virus, for those undergoing treatment, for the infected and those providing care, and the many more lives affected by the pandemic in China and the world at large. We shall overcome.

The withering of societal patterns and polity

T

om Cruise movie Mission Impossible phrase ‘desperate times calls for desperate measures’ offers a viable paradigm for articulation, deliberations, andself-introspection of our Naga society today. Since time immemorial the welfare of the citizens occupied one of the primacytasks of the rulers and the state. For when citizens were taken cared the society flourished in all affairs of the state. In this scenario, Naga society was also not different as the welfare of the society was measured in the form of the well-being of the community. Pre-Christian Naga society accorded a symbiotic relationship between the religious and the political for the rights and liberty of the people. In that way the welfare of the people was neither negated nor abrogated by any authority as societal morality was binded in the legal code of the law of the society. However, things have changed as morality and ethical code of the good of the society seemed to have lost its way inthe society.

The state and the politicalrealmsseem to have negated its task of being a harbinger of civil liberty and political rights of the citizens. In this scenario, there arises the need to revisit the age oldtraditions where the religious and the political were accorded with the principle of simultaneity and the unity of the opposites.

The 16th century protestant reformer Martin Luther called for a ‘Two Kingdom Theory’ on the account that God was the ruler of the earth and the heaven. Luther called for a cordial relationship between the church and the state where the rulers were called upon to be the protectors and caretakers of the citizens. It augurs with the saying of Jesus in the synoptic gospels to render to God to what is due and to Cesar that which belongs to Caesar. The tag Nagaland/ lim for Christ was disseminated over the hills and valleys of Naga Inhabit-at areas to perpetuatea narrative that Nagaland/lim is a Christian nation and Naga people have their trusts in Jesus. However, things seem to have drifted from the trust of God for the just cause and the welfare of the people.

Nagalim for Christ has become an oxymoron and little of faith morality holds its essence in the society. It does

not mean that we pray for a theocratic state but rather concerned with the plight and the struggles and difficulties of the populations.

The church and the state, the religious and the political, faith and reason, spiritual and temporal are always the two sides of the same coin. Luther’s Kingdom theory calls for a principle of simultaneitywhereby church and the state cannot be separated nor joined together but rather they should be put in a correlation principle where one influences the other for the humanisation of the people.

In civilization, like Nagaland/lim the fabric of the society is reflected in the affairs of the church and the opposite might be of the same reality. The other worldly theology of the western missionaries who brought the gospel in the Naga Hills perpetuated a spirituality where it was considered a negativity for the church to be involved in the policy making and decision making of the state.

However, despite such limitation a significant effort was given for edification and development of the faith and moral aspect of the individual lifestyle and that of morality in the society.

Today what ills the Naga society is the lack of the political will and the social malnourishment on the part of the society as well as that of the religious establishments. Enough has been said on the room corridor, in the shared taxis and buses, in the college and institution, and others about the plight and the lack of social welfare and justice maters, the deplorable road conditions, and the backwards state of the government run hospitals and schools especially in the underdeveloped areas.

Yet the irony is the matter that things have gone from bad to worse. In all the chaos and dilemma, the vocation of the church towards the humanity and the people that constitute the ministry is the lack of the morality on the part of the people in the ecclesia ministry and the congregation as a whole to rebuke the abuse of power and authority. Jonas Yanthan, 2005 monograph the Corruption of Christianity elicited how Christian in Nagaland had become Christians without Christ.

To put forth in perspective V. K. Nuh’s Nagaland:

Church and Politics 1986 have prophetically written the corrupt ills that have entangled the Naga society today. The scripture says that when a citizen lacks vison, the nation-state dies and its holding true for the Naga society today. So also, that faith without action is dead for in the material world both the workability of the theoretical and the practical part is important to make it work.

In the Hebrew Bible, the God of the Israelites punished the people when they went away from him and followed the gods of the other nations and worshipped and lusted for gold, silver, power, wealth, and richness. Anything that separated them from Yahweh was the greatest sin of all for it led to their downfall and the life of exile and punishment. In all of it the Israelites sins included the negation of the commandment to protect the orphans, widows, women, children, and the strangers. At times God rejected their sacrifices as there was lack of justice and righteousness in the society. For obedience was better than sacrifice and there can be no reconciliation and forgiveness without justice and righteousness. In the context of the Naga society miffed with the worldview and theology of the missionary era perspectives less space is given for the good works andgood of the society. James (James 2:14-26) was right to state that faith without action is dead and that one has to work out the salvation in reverences. Today, Naga society seems to be lacking in action and good deeds of faith for it is said that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks so also out of the good of the heart the action would follow suit.

The ever-increasing disparity of social justice and welfare of the people occupies one of the desperate measures of our society today. Lest we encounter and saturation point and the breakdown of the societal orders and polity.

In accordance with the political counterpart effort for human induced progress and polity the church today in the society need to raise above the suspicion of Caesar. Will it be that the moral criteria of the church go beyond and far rather than limited to those people caught in the domains of adultery, extramarital affairs, pregnancy out of wedlock, and habitual things of chewing, smoking and drinking. Can it be that the church ethics of righteousness and justices eludes individuals caught and practicing corruption and coveting of public funds meant for social welfare and good of the common people.

It’s a disturbing trend for the leaders to travel in a luxury automobile when the lay people walk the potholes and travel the dusty country roads that are equivalent to fear factor show of the west for those women in labour and the sick people. In a desperate time like our scenario our prayer ought to be one that is said after the manner of Amos prayer for his own context as ‘let justice roll like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream’ over the land of Nagalim. And our dream just like the dream of Martin Luther King to have a dream and a dream for a day when the bells of justices and righteousness will echo over the hills and the valleys of Nagalim and that into a land of freedom, equality, liberty, justice, and fraternity the citizens of Nagalim will awake.

Need to check the rate

Sir,

Even after the various orders passed by concerned authority towards sale of face masks at inflated rates, there are some shops still indulging in selling the same at high rate. This needs to be checked not only by concerned authority but by the public as well. They should note down the name of the shop and report to the nearest administrative centre.

No law to back state action: SC on anti-CAA posters

Rajini roots for ‘upsurge’ among TN people to enter politics C H E N NA I , M A R 1 2 (PTI): Belying his fans’ expectations that he would unveil a definitive work plan for his political party’s launch, actor Rajinikanth on Thursday said he never aspired for the Chief Minister’s post and would enter politics when there is an “upsurge” among people favouring clean politics.

Propounding a threepronged formula for his ‘proposed’ party to ensure a zero graft and clean politics, he said governance and the party apparatus should be completely delineated, a sleek organisational hierarchy should be in place and youth must get prominence.

Addressing a press conference here, the top star, in a dramatic style, banged on the lectern and said he will enter politics when he saw an upsurge among the people yearing for a change ushering in clean politics.

“I never aspired to become Chief Minister, not even in my dreams,”he said.

Rajinikanth said he could not imagine himself sitting in the legislative assembly as CM and wanted the media and others to stop portraying him as a future chief minister.

Rajinikanth had on December 31, 2017 asserted that he will enter politics for sure and fight the 2021 Assembly elections.

At the press meet, billed by his supporters as an event that would set the ball rolling for the launch of his party, he said: “political change and regime change if (does not happen now) not now, never.”

Given the background of a political vacuum in view of the death of late AIADMK and DMK top leaders J Jayalalithaa and M Karunanidhi, the time was ripe for a change, he said.

once a person decides to put himself in public domain, like by wielding a gun, then he cannot come and say that he has the right to privacy and media should be restrained from publicising him.

“If your unruly behaviour is video-graphed, then you have put yourself in public glare. But here, we are on a slightly different footing and the issue is can the state waive off the privacy rights of persons to castigate them for all times,” the bench observed.

It said there is a difference between rights of an individual and those of the state, which must be backed by law.

“Individuals can do anything but the state has to

summoned by the competent authority. After hearing them, recovery notices were issued against 57 alleged rioters belonging to various communities.

Senior advocate A M Singhvi, appearing for former IPS officer S R Darapuri, who is among those who feature in the posters, told the bench that the state was duty-bound to show the authority of law backing its action.

He said the action of the Uttar Pradesh government amounted to a “mega blanket” approach of naming and shaming these persons without final adjudication and it was an open invitation to common men to lynch them as the posters also have their addresses and photographs.

“I am giving the extreme example of a child rapist and a murderer. When did we hear the example of naming and shaming an accused? If such an accused walks on the streets after getting bail then he is likely to be lynched if he has been named and shamed,” Singhvi said.

“We don’t have an-

archy in the state that the government will start doing this,” he said.

Senior Advocate Colin Gonsalves, appearing for another alleged protester, said his client is a lawyer and has faced assaults in the past for taking up the causes of minorities, and he may be attacked due to the publication of his name and address.

Another senior advocate C U Singh said the state government was following a “vindictive approach” and the sharing of details of a person would make him vulnerable.

He said the source of such a power to put up posters of protesters should emanate from a law, not from guidelines or executive orders.

The Uttar Pradesh government had moved the top court challenging the Allahabad High Court order which directed the state adminstration to remove the posters. The high court had also directed the district magistrate and the Lucknow police commissioner to submit a compliance report on or before March 16.

Implement RPWD Act: NSDF tells state govt (From p-1) The NSDF president said the mentioned agendas were the most important requirements of RPWD Act and demanded that these must be implemented fully by the State government at the earliest.

He alleged that though there were 29,631 persons with disabilities (PWDs) as per 2011 census in the State, only a handful were receiving the pension, adding that the census was also not very much satisfactory.

He pointed out that while a disabled person in Nagaland received only Rs 200 every month, States like Meghalaya, Sikkim and Mizoram provided a monthly pension of Rs 500, Rs 1,000 and 350 respectively. Delhi, on the other hand, provided Rs 2500, he added.

The Centre had sanctioned a pension of Rs 200 for PWDs every month, to

which the States and Union Territories were mandated to contribute their share.

The NSDF president urged the State government to provide pension to all deserving PWDs and not a select handful, while demanding that all government educational institutions should adopt specific measures for children with or without disability to help them learn and study together. He called for adapting teaching and learning methods to meet the learning needs of children with disabilities.

The Act mandates that every child with disability must be admitted to these schools without any discrimination, and also ensure that children are able to study in these schools.

Efforts must also be made to make campus and other facilities accessible by the disabled students, while various other modifications needed to be made in line with individual requirements of children.

The NSDF president further appealed to the government to sensitise teachers on how to handle students with disabilities and also provide barrier-free education.

He said some private educational institutions like Christian Higher Secondary School and St Mary’s School in Dimapur, Cherry Blossom School and G Rio Higher Secondary School at Kohima and Cornerstone Higher Secondary School at Zunheboto had been providing barrier-free education.

Zecho requested the State government to set up District Disability Rehabilitation Centres and Special Employment Exchange offices in every district.

Fo r m e d i n 2 0 1 4 , NSDF – a State level disabled people’s organisation – has been continuously fighting and taking up issues of the disabled and advocating their rights with the State government and also organising disability awareness programmes across the State since its inception.

The forum has also urged churches to observe third Sunday of November as Disability Sunday, as notified by Nagaland Baptist Church Council, by organising programmes or awareness campaigns related to disability.

the union added Further, on proper and careful scrutiny, the list of 205 as claimed to have included in the RTI report was astonishingly not found, making the RTI name list of 930 as entirely bogus, the representation claimed.

According to NTUCT, the actual number of constables appointed as per RTI report was 930, while the posts actually advertised was 206 and not 272. Further, there were 999 bogus/ backdoor appointments, 205 open recruitments as per final result, 1,204 total appointments and 494 total vacant posts. The union regretted that despite exposing the modus operandi adopted in the police department for appointing hundreds every year, its gesture was not reciprocated properly.

NTUCT declared that it was fully prepared to go to any extent to nail the culprits and deliver justice on behalf of the Naga public. But in order to avoid any breakdown of law and order, it was raising the issue before the chief secretary seeking his timely intervention, the statement added.

Defectors should be banned for 6 yrs: Quraishi NEW DELHI, MAR 12 (IANS): For the Madhya Pradesh government, tottering in the wake of 22 legislators resigning from the Congress, the anti-defection law is back into focus once again. Former Chief Election Commissioner S.Y. Quraishi has said that this law needs a tweak and defectors should be banned from contesting elections

for 6 years.

“Voters feel cheated after an elected legislator jumps ship midway. This weakens democracy,” said Quraishi adding that in Madhya Pradesh people voted for the Congress, but the other party bought the lawmakers using money power. “Money is running India’’s democracy today,” he said.

NEW DELHI, MAR 12 (PTI): In a bid to control environmental degradation and bring uniformity in the use of paper in its dayto-day work, the Supreme Court will accept petitions and affidavits only on A4 size sheets of paper printed on both sides from April 1.

Chief Justice of India S A Bobde had on January 14 directed the Supreme Court registry to use A4 size sheets printed on both sides for internal communications at all levels. A new circular dated March 5, which was uploaded on the apex court website on Thursday, said A4 size paper will be accepted on the judicial side from April 1, with required specifications.

(From p-1) But the advertisement (PHQ (B-1) 1/recruitment, constables/2019, dated, Kohima, August 2019) was for 206 posts, and not 208.

Whereas the remaining 66 posts out of 277 belonged to higher ranks presumably, the union said the detail particulars of the posts in question were not disclosed to the public.

The detail process of selection for 1,200 as per RTI report question no.

This meant that the total vacancies, as declared by Patton on the floor of the House on February 15, was 1,698, leaving 498 vacancies, and not as declared, the representation noted. While as per the final results (NPORR 2019) for the post of constables the total number was only 205 and not as reported, the remaining 67 posts out of 272 categorized for higher ranks presumably had neither record of any advertisement nor disclosed to the public,

“We direct that let the papers be placed before Chief Justice of India S A Bobde so that a bench of sufficient strength considers the matter in the coming week,” it said.

The top court, however, said it understood the “anxiety” of the state government and there was “no doubt” that the rioters should be punished and told to compensate the damages.

It said though there is no doubt that there should not be any kind of vandalism and the accused should be booked, the question is “can the state go two stages beyond that” and decide to name and shame the protesters.

The law officer said

act in accordance with the law. Here, in this case, where is that power?” the bench asked when the law officer said the court has to see the national interest and the damages caused to public properties.

Justifying the state action, the law officer said it was a matter of “great importance” and there was apprehension that the alleged rioters may dispose their properties despite there being recovery notices against them. Mehta told the court that the posters were put up as a “deterrent” and the hoardings only said that these persons were liable to pay for their alleged acts during the violence.

Mehta, who was assisted by Uttar Pradesh’s Advocate General Raghuvendra Singh, assailed the Allahabad High Court’s decision to take suo motu (on its own) cognisance of the issue and said it was done despite the fact that several petitions of alleged rioters were pending before the Lucknow bench of the high court.

He said initially 94 people were identified and

NEW DELHI, MAR 12 (PTI): The Supreme Court on Thursday told the Uttar Pradesh government that there is “no law” which backs its action of putting up posters on roadsides with details of those accused of vandalism during anti-CAA protests in Lucknow.

The top court, while referring the appeal of the state government to a larger three-judge bench next week on the ground that it required “further elaboration and consideration”, put a poser saying whether the fundamental right to privacy of alleged protesters can be waived by the state by “castigating them for all times” to come.

A vacation bench of justices U U Lalit and Aniruddha Bose did not stay the Allahabad High Court’s March 9 order asking the Lucknow administration to remove the posters.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the state, also did not press for the stay of the order.

“As of now there is no law which backs your (state) action. The action of state has to be backed by some

“It was at such a time that people realised that time had come for a change and eventually mandated the PDA government in 2018.

Mentioning that two years had elapsed wherein policies, programmes and commitments to the people were slowly being realised, NDPP assured of continuing to serve the people keeping in mind the promise of “transparency, accountability and good governance”.

The statement pointed out that organisational and legislature wings of NPF had a history of confronting each other as witnessed under the DAN regime with the legislature wing of the party overthrowing its own president from the chair of chief minister in 2017, resulting in public confrontations between the two wings that also dragged in the office of the governor.

According to NDPP, the NPF regimes under Zeliang and Liezietsu were times when politics in Nagaland reared its ugliest head, with betrayals and backstabbing taking centre stage and ministers and parliamentary secretar-

Suggesting NPF to gets its house in order first before trying to attack the popularly-mandated government with false, malicious and unfounded accusations, NDPP alleged that the former had thoroughly failed people of the State as an opposition party.

On NPF accusing the PDA government of backdoor appointments, NDPP claimed that the ruling coalition was committed from day one to provide transparency, accountability and good governance to the people and that it had been endeavouring to do so for the last two years.

about a reign of diabolical magnitude by depriving the people of not only their constitutional rights but also stripping bare the State exchequer and other developmental activities.

The opposition-less government functioned more like a dictator with the constant suspension/expulsion of members, thus muffling the voice of democracy, with elected representative even being debarred from raising questions of public importance in the absence of an opposition in the Assembly.

The ruling party said the dictatorial system of NPF leadership perhaps still continued as was witnessed by the unceremonious suspension of its Rajya Sabha member KG Kenye, who was also party’s secretary general, and expulsion of party members and dissolution of Chizami unit of the party, which had not gone down well with its

The ruling party claimed that in the last five sessions of 13th Nagaland Legislative Assembly (NLA) it had ensured that the people were not deprived of their constitutional rights by ensuring that the sessions lasted full, unlike under NPF regimes of Zeliang and Shurhozelie when sessions lasted for record 10 minutes.

NEW DELHI, MAR 12 (PTI): The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has asked state governments not to transfer their deposits out of private sector banks saying apprehensions about the safety of deposits in private lenders are highly misplaced.

In a letter written to chief secretaries of all states, the central bank said moving deposits out of private sector banks could have implications for banking and financial sector stability.

The letter came after reports suggested that some state governments have ad-

interest of stability of the financial system in general and the banking system in particular.”

It requested state governments to reconsider any decision they might have taken in this regard or are in the process of taking such decision.

“The Reserve Bank has adequate powers to regulate and supervise the private sector banks and by using these powers, it has ensured that the depositors’ money is entirely safe,” the letter said.

The RBI said the resolution of weak private sector banks in the past has been done in a manner that the depositors are not put to loss.

“It is precisely with a view to retaining depositors’ confidence in private sector banks and mitigating their hardship that, after the imposition of a moratorium on Yes Bank Ltd, the RBI has drawn up a draft scheme without any delay and we are making every effort to expedite the finalisation of the scheme,” it added.

Donald Trump stops Europe flights China says coronavirus could end by June

JERUSALEM, MAR 12 (PTI): With global economic activities and supply of essential goods hit due to the coronavirus outbreak, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is dependent on “supply lines” from various countries and he has spoken to his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi.

The deadly novel coronavirus that first originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December last year has claimed over 4,200 lives and infected more than 117,330 people across 107 countries and territories, with the World Health Organisation (WHO) describing the outbreak a pandemic.

“I also spoke to the prime minister of India, my friend Narendra Modi. We are dependent on supply lines from various countries. We are looking into it all the time,” Netanyahu told a press conference on Wednesday.

Hubei province has slowed markedly amid strict curbs on movement, including the lockdown of its capital Wuhan.

Over by June?: The Chinese government’s senior medical adviser, Zhong Nanshan, an 83-year-old epidemiologist renowned for helping combat the SARS outbreak in 2003, said the crisis could be over by midyear.

“If all countries could get mobilized, it could be over by June,” he said. “But if some countries do not treat the infectiousness and harmfulness seriously, and intervene strongly, it would last longer.”

Already annoyed at what it considered overdraconian travel restrictions

by Washington early in the crisis, Beijing smarted again at latest U.S. criticism of its handling.

White House national security adviser Robert O’Brien accused China on Wednesday of initially covering up Hubei outbreak, saying that cost the world 2

months in response time.

In fact, retorted Chinese Foreign Ministr y spokesman Geng Shuang, China’s efforts bought the world time and “immoral and irresponsible” remarks would not help U.S. epidemic efforts. Trump’s surprise travel order, which starts at midnight on Friday, does not apply to Britain or to Americans undergoing “appropriate screenings”, he said. “The restriction stops people not goods,” he tweeted after his speech.

EU disapproval: The 27-nation European Union (EU) bloc was not impressed.

“The EU disapproves of the fact that the U.S. decision to improve a travel ban was taken unilaterally and without consultation,” European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen and Council president Charles Michel said in a statement.

“This is something that markets had not factored in ... it’s a huge near-term economic cost,” Khoon Goh, head of Asia Research at ANZ in Singapore, said of

tional efforts to tackle the spread of the virus,” a Downing Street spokesperson said.

While India has cancelled most travel visas until April 15 to try and curb the spread of the coronavirus, declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation, the UK has stepped up its preparations to move from the containment phase of the fightback to delaying its spread.

The delay phase, aimed at delaying the peak of the virus to warmer months of the year, could involve “social distancing” measures such as school and public facility closures.

Although exempt from Trump’s ban and no longer a member of the EU, Britain also expressed disappointment, saying it would have an impact on its economy.

In the US, classes were suspended for two weeks in the greater Seattle area, which accounts for the bulk of at least 38 U.S. fatalities from the disease.

China virus cases fall, but more imported from abroad: The number of fresh infections at the epicentre of China’s coronavirus epidemic dropped to a new low on Thursday but the country imported more cases from abroad.

Another 11 people died, the lowest daily increase since late January, bringing the toll in China to 3,169 deaths, according to the National Health Commission.

There were only eight new cases in Wuhan, the city where the virus first emerged in December before growing into a national crisis and a pandemic.

With cases falling dramatically in recent weeks, authorities this week began to loosen some restrictions on Hubei’s 56 million people, who have been under quarantine since late January. Only one other nonimported case was recorded elsewhere in the country.

But as global hotspots emerge elsewhere, China fears that cases arriving from abroad could undermine its progress.

BEIJING/WASHINGTON, MAR 12 (AGENCIES): Travelers scrambled to rebook flights and markets reeled on Thursday after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed sweeping restrictions on travel from Europe, hitting battered airlines and heightening global alarm over the coronavirus.

However, China, where the disease originated, said its epidemic had peaked and the global spread could be over by June if other nations applied similarly aggressive containment measures as Beijing’s communist government.

Tr ump had downplayed risks to the United States during the crisis, but with epidemics ballooning from Iran to Italy and Spain, he limited travel from continental Europe for 30 days.

“This is the most aggressive and comprehensive effort to confront a foreign virus in modern history,” he said in a prime-time televised address from the Oval Office on Wednesday.

It also sent stressed travellers rushing to airports to board last flights back to the United States.

“It caused a mass panic,” said 20-year-old Anna Grace, a U.S. student at Suffolk University on her first trip to Europe who rushed to Madrid’s Barajas airport at 5 a.m. to get home.

Tom Hanks, wife Rita Wilson test positive for COVID-19 H’wood wishes for Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson pour in H ollywood superstar Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson announced that they have tested positive for the novel coronavirus while filming in Australia.

Hanks and Wilson, both 63, sought medical advice after experiencing symptoms of a cold in Queensland, the BBC quoted the actor as saying in an Instagram post on Thursday.

Hanks wrote on Instagram: “We felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches. Rita had some chills that come and went.

Slight fevers too.

“To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the Coronavirus, and were found to be positive.”

He said they would keep the world “posted and updated”.

“We Hanks’ will be tested, observed, and isolated for as long as public health and safety requires.

Not much more to it than a one-day-at-a-time approach, no?”

The couple will now spend time in isolation, he

added. They had been on the Gold Coast, where Hanks was working on a film about the life of Elvis Presley.

According to the Guardian newspaper, the cast and crew attached to the film received an email early Thursday morning instructing them to stay away from the set after a member of the

production tested positive for the virus.

In a statement the US production company behind the film, Warner Bros, said that it was “taking precautions” to protect its employees.

ccording to Billboard, Volbeat’s “Die To Live” has topped the Mainstream Rock Songs airplay chart.

The song is the Danish/ American band’s eighth Mainstream Rock Songs No. 1, breaking the band out of a tie with U2 for the most No. 1s by an act based outside of North America, dating to the chart’s 1981 inception.

Volbeat’s first No. 1 happened in July 2012 with “Still Counting”.

Shinedown and Three Days Grace hold the re-

cord for most Mainstream Rock Songs No. 1s, with 15 apiece.

“Die To Live” is taken from Volbeat’s seventh album, “Rewind, Replay, Rebound”, which was released last August via Republic Records. The disc was produced by longtime collaborator Jacob Hansen and co-produced by Volbeat’s Rob Caggiano and Michael Poulsen. This marks the first studio album with Kaspar Boye Larsen on bass. To achieve the album’s sound, the band also drew upon a myriad of guests. In addi-

Rikers Island prison staff decided to send Weinstein back to Bellevue “for safety” and “he will be evaluated and likely will stay overnight”, a spokesperson for Weinstein told hollywoodreporter.com.

“We appreciate the care and concern of the Department of Corrections officers and staff,” said his representative.

Weinstein had previously gone to Bellevue when he experienced high blood pressure and heart

palpitations, and was transferred to Rikers after having a heart procedure.

Weinstein will spend 23 years in a New York State prison after being sentenced by Supreme Court Judge James Burke. The judgment came on Wednesday. He was convicted on February 24 of committing a criminal sexual act in the first degree and thirddegree rape. The sentencing ends Weinstein’s New York trial, which began on January 6.

His team has said they will appeal the jury’s decision to convict him on two of the five charges he faced. Judge Burke, before issuing his sentence, told Weinstein that he will be formally registered as a sex offender.

As per hollywoo dreporter.com, Weinstein got 20 years in prison plus five years of supervised release on the first-degree count of a criminal sexual act. On the other convicted charge, third-degree rape, he was given three years in prison. The judge decided to make the sentences consecutive, rather than concurrent.

After rigorous rounds of auditions across each of the 8 Northeast states, several top bands from the region took part in the grand finale at the Guwahati International Music Festival. Music bands from across Northeast India were up for a treat when they got a chance to be a part of the region’s first-ofits-kind music conference as part of GIMF. The selected bands took part in discussions on music label branding and marketing, recording and several other panel discussions and master classes.

“This music conference witnessed the presence of

the stalwarts of the Indian music industry. The basic idea behind the conference was to create a more vibrant eco-system for the stakeholders of the music industry so as to ensure speedy development of the industry and for the betterment of the artists,” stated Guwahati International Music Festival Founder Aiyushman Dutta.

Prior to the finale in Guwahati, auditions for the bands were held in Dimapur for bands from Nagaland and Assam; Aizawl

for Mizoram; Shillong for Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh and Tripura and at Ukhrul for bands from Manipur and Sikkim.

Organized by Eastern Beats Music Society in collaboration with North Eastern Council, Government of India, the 4th Guwahati

International Music Festival showcased a line-up that brought together some of the most significant artists from the Asian circuit along with the leading stakeholders of the industry.

On March 1, popular Bollywood singer Lucky Ali performed at the fes-

A brainchild of Northeast-based writer and cultural activist Aiyushman Dutta, the idea of Guwahati International Music Festival was mooted way back in 2010 in order to provide a platform wherein musical maestros from across the globe can share stage and collaborate with our indigenous music and cultural practitioners.

In the first two editions, the festival had helped create new vistas for cultural collaborations of our topmost Northeastern folk exponents with the finest of musicians from Goa, Nepal, UK, USA, Germany, China, Bangladesh, and the like.

Stars tweeted their anxiety over the news, reports dailymail.co.uk. Whitney Cummings wrote: “It’s like it picked the celeb we cared most about to make a point”.

Among the other stars offering their well-wishes through Twitter and Instagram were Reese Witherspoon and Jack Black who urged them to “take care”.

Others criticised the government for not acting quickly enough. Actor Erich Bergen was worried about shaking hands with Hanks recently.

Marlon Wayans quipped: “Damn you Tom!! You always gotta be first. First Emmy winner, first Oscar winner, first Hollywood Coronavirus”.

Whitney Cummings also joked: “I mean Tom Hanks is who would play the guy in the movie about Coronavirus.”

Director Scott Derrickson said: “If Tom Hanks was here in the states and not in Australia, he wouldn’t have been able to get tested for the coronavirus. Trump’s irreparable and catastrophic failure has been the way he deliberately blocked early testing.”

Hanks and his wife announced the positive test results on Instagram urging the public to “take care”.

“The Forest Gump” star said he and his wife experienced symptoms including the common cold, body aches and chills before they decided to get tested.

Before their diagnosis, the couple had visited crowded Australian hotspots including Bondi Beach and the Sydney Opera House -- raising fears that others could be infected.

Second PAOFT tourney DDCA to hold under-18 cricket tourney COVID-19 aftermath: govt starts in Longleng town directive keeps fans out

New Delhi, Mar 12 (PTI): The money-spinning IPL mulled a closeddoor edition in a desperate bid to avoid cancellation as Indian sports went into quarantine after a government directive to keep the fans out to prevent the deadly COVID-19 pandemic from spreading. “...ensure that no public gathering takes place in any sporting event. In the event the sporting event cannot be avoided, the same could be done without allowing gathering of people, including spectators,” read an order from the Sports ministry.

The directive is set to ensure that the remaining two ODIs between India and South Africa in Lucknow and Kolkata, the Indian Super League football tournament final in Goa, and the last day of the Ranji Trophy summit clash in Rajkot are played in front of empty stadiums.

On the IPL, the BCCI maintained a stoic silence but the Sports Ministry dropped enough hints that it could be held in empty stadiums too due to the deadly outbreak even as foreign players were ruled out till April 15 following government-imposed travel restrictions. The event is due to start on March 29 in Mumbai.

The Ministry of External Affairs has also advised the BCCI “not do it at this time but if the organisers want to go ahead, it is their decision”.

This came a day after

organisers of badminton’s India Open, starting March 24, decided they won’t allow spectators this year.

Besides, the Paralympic Committee of India decided to put on hold all national and state championships till April 15, keeping in mind government directions.

The IPL’s fate would be up for discussion at the event’s Governing Council meeting on Saturday and the BCCI has decided to adopt a wait and watch policy till then.

Sports Secretary Radhey Shyam Julaniya told PTI that sporting events in the country can continue but without the presence of crowds.

“We have asked all the NSFs, including the BCCI, to follow the Health Ministry’s latest advisory, which says public gatherings should be avoided in all events, including sporting activities,” Julaniya told PTI. “The sporting events can go on but the advisory needs to be followed,” he added.

The government on Wednesday suspended all visas, barring a few categories like diplomatic and employment, in an attempt to prevent the spread of coronavirus as cases across India rose to more than 70.

The outbreak, declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO) on Wednesday, has led to more than 4,000 deaths and left over 100,000

infected globally.

In India, Karnataka and Delhi have declared COVID-19 epidemic -- the two states are home to IPL teams Royal Challengers Bangalore (led by Virat Kohli) and Delhi Capitals.

The shooting World Cup and the Indian Open golf tournament are the major events that have been postponed in the Indian sporting calendar so far.

In another development, the Indian boxing team, returning from the Asian Olympic Qualifiers in Jordan, will be asked to stay “home-quarantined” even though all the members have got the necessary health clearances.

A total of 13 boxers and almost an equal number of coaching staff arrive back on Thursday after clinching an unprecedented nine Olympic slots in the qualifiers which concluded on Wednesday in Amman.

“They will be asked to quarantine themselves at their homes or hostel rooms for a few days. They have, however, been given the necessary health clearances by the Jordanian Olympic association,” Boxing Federation of India’s Executive Director R K Sacheti told PTI.
