He further said that while India was ahead in organic farming, it was behind in terms of value addition. However, he expressed hope that the limitation would be solved by the e-marketing portal. Prime Minister Modi also stated that the advancement of such new sectors in the agriculture will help in the advancement of the farmers in the future. “Along with Green and White Revolution, the more we focus on Organic Revolution, Water Revolution,
Blue Revolution and Sweet Revolution, the more the income of the farmers will increase,” he asserted. Commenting on solar farming, the Prime Minister said that this type of farming was another way to generate new income adding that solar farming was not only addressing the irrigation needs but was helping the environment as well. “With solar panels, the farmer takes the power necessary for pumping water so that it can simultaneously sell extra electricity to the government. In the past three years, the government has transported about Rs. 3 lakh solar pumps to farmers and has been approved for a sum of about half a thousand crores,” he said. He further said that 25 Krishi Vigyan Kendras (agricultural science centres) was inaugurated today and there were now about 700 of them in the country. Terming the Krishi Vigyan centres as the ‘new lighthouse of modern agriculture in India’, Prime Minister Modi said that the most important work of these centres “is delivering new information and technology to farmers.”

Villagers building embankments along Chathe river.
DIMAPUR, MAR 17 (NPN): Sodzülhou Village Council (SVC) has appealed to the government to aid them in their efforts to save their land and structures which are continually being washed away by the Chathe river. A press release from SVC chairman, Mosa Koza, Hd. GB, Alhou Ngone and secretary Kodotsolo Koza highlighted the
hardships faced by the villagers due to erosion of the Chate river bank at 6th Mile, Dimapur. SVC explained that over the years they had made their best efforts to save their family properties by building embankments or by resorting “to other desperate means.” It further said that large chunks of their land had already been washed away which, besides loss of
land area, also causes damage to constructed structures. “We are dreading the onset of the monsoon rains”, it said, because it will mean loss of more land to the river. According to SVC, they approached authorities time and again but concrete steps were yet to been taken. In efforts to be proactive on the issue, the council said that villagers had started work again to build embankments. The council extended its deepest gratitude to PHE minister, Jacob Zhimomi, businessman, Z. Kasheto Yeptho and TPO president, Timikha Koza for graciously supporting the community to undertake building of embankment. However, recognizing that this was an issue that could not be permanently solved without the intervention of the government machinery, SVC “urgently” entreated the “powers concerned” to take notice and help the villagers save their village.
Rahul hugs his mother, Sonia Gandhi after her speech at the 84th Plenary Session of Congress on Saturday. (PTI)
NEW DELHI, MAR 17 (PTI): Former Congress president Sonia Gandhi today launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying his government was “power-drunk” and the pre-poll promises of combating corruption and ensuring inclusive development were mere “dramebaazi”.
exposing Prime Minister Modi and his colleagues’ false claims, frauds and corruption with proof. “People have now understood that the 2014 promises of ‘sab ka saath, sab ka vikas’ and ‘na khaoonga, na khaane doonga’ and his ‘Mann ki Baat’ on radio are only ‘dramebaazi’ (theatrics) and a trick to grab votes and electoral power,” she said. She claimed that the Congress was fighting a “tyrannical” government and the people have begun to realise that the promises made by the BJP in 2014 were hollow. Sonia’s fiery speech in Hindi drew loud applause from the party workers.
In her address at the 84th Congress Plenary Session, she accused the Modi government of using “all tricks in the trade” to wipe out the Congress and asserted that the party Country is ‘fatigued’ would never bow down. Sonia Gandhi asked under Modi: Rahul the workers to free the Congress president country of “discrimina- Rahul Gandhi Saturday tion, vendetta politics said the country was in a and arrogance”. “We are way “fatigued” under the
Narendra Modi dispensation and is looking for a way out and asserted that his party alone can show the path forward. In his brief address, Rahul also launched a scathing attack on the NDA government, accusing it of spreading hatred and anger, and failing to create jobs and address farm distress. The Congress alone can unite the country and show it the path forward, he said, adding that the difference between the ruling dispensation and his party was that while they spread anger and hatred, “we spread love and brotherhood”. He said the Congress party under him would take seniors and youth together as the tradition of the party was to embrace change without forgetting its past and legacy.
New species of water strider found in Nagaland Govt bids farewell to outgoing CS Pankaj Kumar KOL KATA, M AR 17 (AGENCIES): Scientists from the Zoological Survey of India (ZSI) have discovered a new species of water strider from Nagaland. The species, named Ptilomera nagalanda Jehamalar and Chandra, was found in the river Intanki, Peren district, reports The Hindu. Water striders are a group of insects adapted to life on the surface of water, using surface tension to their advantage. Scientists working on the water striders say that their presence serves as an indicator water of water quality and they are found on water surface. “Orange with black stripes on the dorsal side and a pale yellowish brown ventral part of the body, this particular species has long slender legs and measures about 11.79 mm,” said scientist Eyarin Jehamalar. The presence of black stripes on the dorsal side dif-

ferentiates this species from other known species of the subgenus Ptilomera. The discovery was published in the science journal Zootaxa. So far, only five species of water striders under the subgenus Ptilomera were known in India. These includes Ptilomera agriodes found in peninsular India, Ptilomera assamensis found in north-
eastern India, Ptilomera laticaudata, northern and northeastern India, Pltilomera occidentalis from Uttarakhand and Ptilomera tigrina found in the Andaman islands. With the discovery of Ptilomera nagalanda the number of species of water striders belonging to the subgenus has increased to six.
Other than being a good indicator of water quality, water striders also play an important role in the food chain by feeding on mosquito larvae. There are nearly 100 species of water striders found in India across different water bodies such as open ocean, ponds, pools, lakes, rivers, streams etc. What is unique about Ptilomera is that they are only found in rocky, fast flowing streams and rivers that are not exposed to a lot of sunlight. Ptilomera has hair on the middle legs that help the insects resist the strong current of streams. Water striders have three pairs of legs. The front legs are relatively shorter than the mid and hind legs and used to catch and hold prey. The striders possess needle-like mouth parts that are used for sucking the juice of prey.

Forget PR dazzle, tell us about MSP increase: Rahul
New Delhi, Mar 17 (IANS): Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Saturday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to specify exactly when he was going to fulfil his promise of fixing the minimum support price for crops at 1.5 times the production cost. In a tweet after Modi at an event here said confusion was being spread about the budget decision to fix the MSP for farmers, Gandhi took a dig at the Prime Minister asking him to “forget about the PR dazzle of government machinery in his speech” at Krishi Unnati Mela 2018. “Modiji, can you please tell the farmers when will you increase the UIDAI asked people to take due precautions while sharing their personal information minimum support price to such as Aadhaar on the internet. increase their profits by 50 per cent and thousands of NEW DELHI, Mar 17 ness of the Aadhaar iden- a personal information like farmers do not have to com(AGENCIES): The UIDAI tity system, the nodal body, mobile number, bank ac- mit suicides?

It also alleged that the crop insurance scheme of the government had benefited private insurance companies more than the farmers as money was taken away from the bank accounts of farmers without their consent.
Progress made but economic inequality remains: Krugman New Delhi, Mar 17 (IANS): Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman on Saturday said India has made rapid progress on the economic front but economic inequality in the country remains an issue. India has become a much “better place to do business” than it was earlier, though the bureaucratic obstacles have not gone away completely but reduced enormously. “India achieved as much economic progress in the (last) 30 years as the Great Britain did in 150 years. It is a very rapid space of transformation.... why does there still seem to be visible poverty in India? “One problem is high degree of economic inequality,” Krugman said at
Laureate Paul Krugman
the News 18 Rising India Summit, adding that India has made “enormous strides” in economic progress but the wealth has “not been evenly distributed”. On rising income of middle-class in emerging markets globally, he said: “People, when (they) mostly talk about the story, understandably focus on
China, but India is part of the story as well. ...India is still poor, but not in the same level at all. Indian GDP per capita is about 12 per cent of the US level now, which sounds low but that is up from 4 per cent not that long ago. Terming India’s economic growth progress as “extraordinary”, he said the country has become (on purchasing power) the world’s largest economy overtaking Japan and while being behind the US and China, it is far bigger than any European country. Attributing factors that played a role in the economic “prog ress”, Krugman said there was a dramatic change in India’s policy including liberalised policies taken in early 1990s.

Tactical promises
lot of discussions, debates and write ups continue in the electronic and print media after TDP supremo and chief minister of Andhra Pradesh N.Chandrababu Naidu made good his threat by pulling out from the NDA. The TDP has 16 seats in the Lok Sabha and had two union ministers who earlier resigned before the party pulled out of the NDA. In the Rajya Sabha the TDP has 6 members. These numbers are crucial for the BJP especially in the upper house where the opposition combine has majority. Chandrababu’s move was shaped not only because Modi had not kept his promise of giving special category state status to Andhra Pradesh after bifurcation but also because arch rival Jaganmohan Reddy and founder of YSR Congress has been stealing a march with his yatra for special category status for Andhra Pradesh which was also followed up with tabling of a no confidence motion against the Modi government at the Centre. Initially the TDP backed the no confidence filed by YSR but later withdrew since it could prove politically damaging in Andhra. The YSR Congress no confidence is yet to be taken up. The TDP then moved its no confidence motion on Friday. Though the no-confidence motion does not mean anything for the ruling BJP led coalition as it enjoys a comfortable majority in Lok Sabha, the politics surrounding it would certainly have political implications in Andhra Pradesh. The motion will be the first such move in the tenure of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government. Political observers read much in the snapping of ties between the two parties which had maintained stable relations since 1996. Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief, N Chandrababu Naidu, is a serious political ally not given to tantrums associated with some among his peers in other states. From 1996 to 2004, he virtually ran the show in Delhi – first as the convener of the United Front and thereafter as the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government’s life support from outside. At the heart of the BJP-TDP alliance of mistrust is an uneasy relationship between Narendra Modi and Naidu. It all began in 2002, soon after the riots in Gujarat when Modi and Naidu were chief ministers. Naidu, despite being a key member of the NDA, publicly took an antiModi position. In addition, the TDP even held out a veiled threat to the Vajpayee government, pointing out that “secularism is a fundamental principle for the TDP and strict adherence to it is one of the basic conditions for our support to the NDA”. During the four years, Modi did not accord special category status though his government gave around Rs.4000 crore under various projects. This was a pittance which TDP could not build its new capital as well as create infrastructures lost to the new state of Telangana. The other factor was the departure of BJP veteran Venkaiah Naidu as vice president of India. Venkaiah was Chandrababu’s go-to man in New Delhi and his clout in the corridors of power dipped after the former’s exit. The TDP and YSR Congress will go to extra lengths to prove themselves to their voters over the issue of special category status. It may not be wrong to assume that since TDP is not with BJP, the YSR Congress will not mind jumping into the NDA with some packages. Therefore, the question of TDP’s exit strengthening the anti-BJP forces does not hold water.
DailyDevotion The Servant’s Primary Goal
We make it our aim…to be well pleasing to Him. —2 Corinthians 5:9 “We make it our aim….” It requires a conscious decision and effort to keep our primary goal constantly in front of us. It means holding ourselves to the highest priority year in and year out; not making our first priority to win souls, or to establish churches, or to have revivals, but seeking only “to be well pleasing to Him.” It is not a lack of spiritual experience that leads to failure, but a lack of working to keep our eyes focused and on the right goal. At least once a week examine yourself before God to see if your life is measuring up to the standard He has for you. Paul was like a musician who gives no thought to audience approval, if he can only catch a look of approval from his Conductor. Any goal we have that diverts us even to the slightest degree from the central goal of being “approved to God” (2 Timothy 2:15) may result in our rejection from further service for Him. When you discern where the goal leads, you will understand why it is so necessary to keep “looking unto Jesus” (Hebrews 12:2). Paul spoke of the importance of controlling his own body so that it would not take him in the wrong direction. He said, “I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest…I myself should become disqualified” (1 Corinthians 9:27). I must learn to relate everything to the primary goal, maintaining it without interruption. My worth to God publicly is measured by what I really am in my private life. Is my primary goal in life to please Him and to be acceptable to Him, or is it something less, no matter how lofty it may sound?

Unlocking the personality On settling down of portfolios of a social media addict A
D
o you check Facebook hundreds of times per day? Do you like hitting “Like” more than you like speaking with live humans? Is Instagram more important to you than your mom? In this hi-tech, pre-armageddon, screen-filled modern world, social media is all pervasive. It has sucked us in. It is the new God. We are now its slave. That might be over-egging things slightly, but for some people, social media has become a true addiction. So, how do you know if your social media habit has descended from a harmless pastime into a full-blown addiction? Well, if you lost your job because you’re always perusing Instagram or you split up with your wife because you chose Facebook over her, that’s a pretty good sign. All joking aside, social media addiction is a real thing, and it messes with people’s lives. Despite a meteoric rise in the “dark side” of information technology (IT), relatively little research has gone into IT addiction. Although personality traits are known to play important roles in other types of addiction, no one really knows which traits predict social media addiction. Recently, brave researchers from Binghamton University in New York took it upon themselves to lift the lid on this most modern affliction. “There has been plenty of research on how the interaction of certain personality traits affects addiction to things like alcohol and drugs. We wanted to apply a similar framework to social networking addiction”, says study leader Isaac Vaghefi. To get some answers, Vaghefi — who is an assistant professor of information systems — teamed up with Hamed Qahri-Saremi, of DePaul University in Chicago, IL, and more than 300 collegeage students got involved. The investigators probed the participants about their social

The Indian Security forces (Army Camp) of ARTC / Assam Rifles Training Centre at 3rd Mile, NH-29 or at Rangapahar/ Shukhuvi are the worst maintained roads within their camp adjacent areas not investing even 2-3 crores for public welfare (roads)all these years but pretending to invest money to some far- flung areas just to brainwash/show off to the innocent public that they are doing charitable works to the Naga public or world publicity but in reality it is not so because even the Army Camp at Piphema or Secü-Zubza are not shifting their camps for widening of 4-lane construction. 12. Gone is gone and it cannot be made undone otherwise in the Congress or NPF Govt. in 1980 – 2017, the incapable or those who have no interest in human resources development (School Education) but egoistic in their approach, were given the portfolio which have created more problems than good in shaping the student community for a better future (wrong person for a wrong portfolio(not generalizing). Of course, the previous Minister of School Education Mr. Tokheho Yepthomi who did a herculean job in the formulation of Service Rules with his AHOD which could not be made/revised for the last 15 years, termination of bogus/double service teachers, redeployment of office attached teachers to their original posting places and rationalization of schools and teachers to some extend (may not be so perfect or subject to rectification in some areas) within 4 -5 months.

media use, of course, but they also asked a barrage of other questions to get an insight into their personalities. The team found that three of the five traits — neuroticism, conscientiousness, and agreeableness — were particularly linked with social network addiction. But, this is psychology, and we’re talking about the human brain here, so it’s not a simple story. As Vaghefi notes, “It’s a complex and complicated topic. You can’t have a simplistic approach.” So, when they stuck their analytical fingers deeper into the figurative data pie, more complicated relationships were found. Their findings were presented at the 51st Hawaii International Conference on Systems Science, held in Waikoloa Village. What did they find? Firstly, neuroticism — which is how prone someone is to feeling anxious and stressed — increases the chances of being hooked on social media. Conscientiousness — those annoying people who can control their impulses and achieve their goals (I’m so jealous of those folk) — decreased the chances of being an addict. So far, so simple, but here’s where it gets a little stranger: a person can be both conscientiousness and neurotic, and, in those people, there is a power struggle. Like a fairytale gone wrong, evil conquers good: neuroticism overpowers conscientiousness. In other words, the baddies win and social media addiction is more likely to rear its head. The next plot twist features agreeableness — which means how friendly, helpful, and empathetic someone is. Overall, agreeableness didn’t really make much of a difference to a person’s risk of social media addiction. However, when agreeableness and conscientiousness were combined inside the same human, it was a different story. Someone who is not particularly agreeable or conscientious
would be generally unsympathetic and irresponsible (sounds like a great guy, right? Every group of friends has someone like that, though, and, if you can’t think who it is in your immediate circle, it’s probably you). These people, it turns out, are more likely to have social media addiction. Here, the plot thickens once again. This river runs both ways: people who have high levels of agreeableness and conscientiousness also have an inflated risk of social media addiction. This finding surprised the scientists. They think it might be to do with “rational addiction” — friendly, conscientious people may actively spend more time engaging on social media because they tend to believe that they gain a genuine benefit from it, and they go out of their way to keep in touch with friends and family to nourish their network. Aahhhhhh...isn’t that sweet? If this is true, it would be a whole new angle to addiction that isn’t found outside of the IT universe. The addiction would, effectively, be developed on purpose — for wholesome reasons. Whether or not it would still be detrimental to the individual is another question that will need to be answered by future studies. Of course, more research is likely to follow as our new IT overlord slowly consumes each and every one of us. Perhaps, in decades to come, social addiction will be the norm and psychologists will be running studies to investigate how 2 percent of the population can resist opening their Facebook app more than once per day. We’ll have to wait and see. For now, share this article on your social media accounts, then put your cell phone down and go for a walk outside. You might just enjoy yourself.

fter much anticipation and torrents of purported documents circumnavigating our daily updates of feeds regarding the allocation of portfolios, has finally took still … and awaits [us], how the public services and responsibilities are to be executed which is another feature that comes along with the package . It is not known how the internal coalition is being consolidated among the majority rifts, considering the veteran election partakers, popular both in will and spirit among their consecutive regions, have jumbled up around in different parties over short notice working out best for them consequently. The writer only writes because we public have witnessed how circumstances could mount up to, in certain times during displeasure of status quo or during professional or personal //*unprofessional*// differences among the representatives. In contemporary times, the people of any government demands what could seemingly be over bearing but only impetus for surviving efficiently in this modern era of technology and advancement. After all the marvel of technological achievements humans have possessed, derived from the threshold of industrial revolution, what the elite community have to say is, “Humans are still at infancy.” From a global perspective, humans are only beginning to comprehend what it is to be human; the emotional and mental harness of intellect to define proper existence. And as such, our government and the processes involved prior, in or after—have to be unflinchingly altered towards modern innovative interpretations, else the piled up paint on the old canvas would grow luxuriant and the art disintegrate itself. Every progressing society goes through certain phase before culminating the end result to proceed ahead leaving behind former unsubtle perception of conduct and pivot solely ascertaining positive possibilities impact. This has been evident throughout the course of human history. We have had our own share of regressive pitfalls in our society mostly derived from the intricate nature of our politics and its in-conclusion that have summed up to all the mess our way of life has been affected by. No measure of sort could arguably align the indication
for productive prospects unless certain degree of innovation unbound by conventional ideologies could be instilled and paved way for. We public have integrated of all the misdirection and deceits our somewhat elected legislative representatives have for so far baffled us in every auspicious schemes that has resorted to mega cities in the books. Unfortunately, the sensible sections today have had through with the consistent stagnation channeled right from the core/source, from where everything could be restructured and propelled. All these years (decades) of failed developments have made us wiser and compelling to revamp the same trend of stagnation in our socio-economic-political affairs. Despite having processed democratic norms to situate a democratic government, we are far from being termed as democratic. Real democracy would mean the electorates to cast vote without any obligation and influence. Real democracy propounds freedom of choice and free will to elect right and quality candidates, which hasn’t been eminent – not for a long time. Right candidate could be any sensible citizen; there is a fine line of difference between the limits for right justice and otherwise – apples and oranges. The relatively gross defect of democracy is what is looping every round making the people obstinate. This needs to be overhauled whereby every citizen can examine and sensibly participate, in levels, at least around sensible quarters, initially. Though, such suggestions are always open for further deliberation and consistent refinement. In conclusion, may the elected representatives take major concern over what’s the story on the other side of the coin, this time, where the greater interest of the people lie at. Even though the positions occupied had been both physically and resourcefully exhausting, may every elected representative commit themselves in setting a threshold for a better government – after all, to be precise, it’s not about the occupation but production. With such conviction, we as a society together could flourish more meaningfully and make unceasing effort in paving reformed ways for posterity to embark. Y. Among

Punjab CM’s killer Tara gets life
Chandigarh, Mar 17 (IANS): A local court on Saturday sentenced, to life imprisonment till death, Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) terrorist Jagtar Singh Tara, who was held guilty a day earlier for involvement in the assassination of then Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh in 1995. Beant Singh and 17 others were killed when “human bomb” Dilawar Singh blew himself up at the heavily-guarded Punjab secretariat complex here on
August 31, 1995. A special court was held in the high security Burail Jail to pronounce his sentence. Three BKI terrorists -Tara, Jagtar Singh Hawara, Paramjit Singh Bhaura -and their accomplice Devi Singh, a murder convict living with them in the same prison barrack, had made a sensational escape by digging a 104-feet-long tunnel in the high-security Burail jail here on the intervening night of Jan 21-22, 2004.
layover time, he said. He said the extension of service has benefited the people of Bundelkhand region at no extra cost. The details of the analysis could be announced soon, the minister added. On the role of cost accounts and costing at large, Goyal said they have a big role to play to make the country cost competitive in doing business and bring out the best competitive advantages of working in India. The cost accounts, he said, also have a major role to play as far as checking corruption in the country was concerned. “There is a cost of corruption that the country has to pay.

Maha farmers reclaim land taken by Nirav Modi M U M B AI , MAR 1 7 (AGENCIES): Farmers in Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra on Saturday claimed that fugitive jeweller Nirav Modi, prime accused in the alleged Rs 11,400 crore Punjab National Bank fraud, had acquired their lands at less than prevailing rates. A group of over 200 farmers, who arrived in bullock carts at the tract of land at Khandala in Karjat tehsil, ploughed a part of it using a tractor as a symbolic reclaiming of possession. They will start cultivation on the full 125 acres of the acquired land soon, farmers said. Today’s protest was meant to show that farmers have reclaimed their land, which was acquired on behalf of Nirav Modi’s Firestar company some years ago, they said. The land is among the properties attached by the Enforcement Directorate as a part of its probe against Nirav Modi who has fled the country, said a farmer activist. Protesting farmers also carried the tricolour and portraits of Shivaji and Dr BR Ambedkar. They carried the banner of ‘Kaali Aai Mukti Sangram’, a local farmers’ organisation. “The land was acquired from farmers at around Rs 15,000 per acre, whereas the government rate for land compensation in the area is around Rs 20 lakh per acre now,” lawyer and activist Karbhari Gawli, who was part of today’s protest, told PTI over phone from Ahmednagar.

The readymade garment industry is the largest contributor to the country’s textile exports and employs about 12 million persons now. A calculation showed that garment makers were able to get benefits to the tune of Rs 55 lakh for every Rs 1 crore in new investments committed under the package, the textile commissioner said.

The capital subsidy under amended TUFS (technology upgradation fund scheme) was increased to 25% from 15%. A new scheme was introduced to refund the state levies which were not refunded earlier. The move cost the exchequer Rs 5,500 crore but industry officials said that it helped in boosting the competitiveness of Indian textile exports in foreign markets. The country’s textile industry currently generates about $150 billion in annual revenues - $110 billion from the domestic market and $40 billion through exports, Gupta said.

M u m ba i , M a r 1 7 (Agencies): The country’s current account deficit (CAD) widened to $13.5 billion, or 2% of the gross domestic product (GDP), in the third quarter of fiscal 2017-18 as compared to $8 billion, or 1.4% of GDP, in the year-ago period. While the numbers are better than expected, there are concerns that the deficit could widen to beyond 2.5% of GDP in FY19 on the back of higher oil prices and the threat of US restrictions on imports from India. Nomura chief economist (India) Sonal Varma
said, “The deterioration reflected a much wider trade deficit as higher commodity prices and a domestic recovery resulted in imports outpacing exports. However, the deterioration in the current account was less than expected as the invisibles surplus surprised positively, rising a strong 21% year-on-year in Q4 versus 15.4% in Q3, led by higher services exports and increased private remittances, both reflecting the impact of the synchronised global recovery.” The trade deficit in the current quarter is likely to be hit by some adverse factors. Emkay Global research head Dhananjay Sinha said, “Exports as well as import growth were highly skewed by petroleum products. GSTrelated glitches and the recent PNB bank fraud have dented the overall gems & jewellery exports and the same is likely to remain subdued.
has demanded that it be reduced to 5 per cent at par with GST on other kinds of scrap. “Reduction of GST on metal scrap to 5 per cent will lead to no accumulation and, at the same time, the government will not incur any revenue loss as it will not affect tax collection. The government would get GST on finished products. Reduction of GST on scrap will help the industry survive,” Shah added. Kishore Rajpurohit, the past president of the association, said that 2040 per cent extra duty was being paid on the import of aluminium scrap due to the Customs assessment being done on the basis of an alert published by the Directorate General of Valuation. “The custom duty should instead be assessed at transaction value as per section 14 of the Customs Act, 1962. GST on ocean freight on imports and on intermediary services are acting as double taxation and this is greatly hurting the industry,” Rajpurohit said.

The data indicates that large industry accounts for close to two-thirds of the bad debt, although their share of advances is less than 30%. While a large part of the bad debt was earlier attributed to stalled projects or infrastructure and core sector projects that never took off, the recent RBI action indicates that several companies, where the promoters were unwilling to repay their debt and sought repeated restructuring, have added to the pressure on banks.
Ahmedabad, Mar 17 (PTI): A high rate of Goods and Services Tax (GST), with no provision for its refund, threatens to kill the aluminium recycling industry, a majority of which are MSMEs, its representatives said here Saturday. “The aluminium recycling industry, which is represented by around 5,000 Micro Small and Medium Enterprises, is severely affected by the accumulation of GST due to over-valuation of imports of aluminium scrap by the Customs,” said Mahendra Shah, president of the All India Non Ferrous Metal Exim Association (AINFMEA). The All India Non Ferrous Metal Exim Association represents the aluminium recycling industry and largely depends on imported metal scrap.

NEW DELHI, Mar 17 (Agencies): Indiscriminate lending in boom years and the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI’s) pressure on banks to recognise sticky assets on their books have resulted in some lenders having to classify over 40% of their loans to large industry as non-performing assets (NPAs), or bad debt, putting pressure on their profits. The finance ministry told Parliament on Friday that at the end of December, there were at least five banks where gross NPAs from the large industry accounted for over 40% of their exposure to this segment. While private sector lender Catholic Syrian Bank was at the top of the heap, with close to 50% of its advances to large companies turning into bad debt, there were six other banks with gross NPAs of over 30% of their loans to large industry. At least a dozen large companies, ranging from steel, auto parts and real estate, are facing bankruptcy action as they have repeatedly failed to clear their dues.

Donald Trump fires FBI official for Nerve agent attack: Russia expels unauthorised disclosure to media
23 British diplomats in response
MOSCOW, MAR 17 (AP): Russia today announced it is expelling 23 British diplomats and threatened further measures in retaliation in a growing diplomatic dispute over a nerve agent attack on a former spy in Britain. The Russian Foreign Ministry also said in a statement that it is ordering the closure of the British Council, a government organization for cultural and scientific cooperation, and that it is ending an agreement to reopen the British consulate in St Petersburg. It ordered the diplomats to leave within a week. The statement said the government could take further measures if Britain takes any more “unfriendly� moves toward Russia. British Ambassador Laurie Bristow was called to the Foreign Ministry Saturday morning to be informed of the moves. British Prime Minister Theresa May this week expelled 23 Russian diplomats and severed highlevel bilateral contacts over

the March 4 poisoning of ex-spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia. They remain in critical condition in hospital. Britain’s foreign secretar y accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of personally ordering the poisoning of the Skripals, who were found slumped on a public bench in the southern English city of Salisbury. Putin’s spokesman denounced the claim.
While Russia has vigorously denied involvement in the attack, Western powers see it as the latest sign of alleged Russian meddling abroad. The tensions threaten to overshadow Putin’s expected re-election tomorrow for another six-year presidential term. Meanwhile new tensions have surfaced over the death this week of a London-based Russian businessman, Nikolai Glushkov.
British police said yesterday that he died from compression to the neck and opened a murder investigation. Russia also suspects foul play in Glushkov’s death and opened its own inquiry yesterday. British police said there is no apparent link between the attack on Glushkov and the poisoning of the Skripals, but both have raised alarm in the West at a time when Russia is increasingly assertive on the global stage and facing investigations over alleged interference in the Donald Trump’s election as US president. The source of the nerve agent, which Britain says is Soviet-made Novichok, is unclear, as is the way it was administered. Russia has demanded that Britain share samples collected by investigators. Top EU diplomats were expected to discuss next steps at a meeting Monday, with some calling for a boycott of the upcoming World Cup in Russia.
WASHINGTON, MAR 17 (PTI): The Trump administration has fired the number two official at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) accusing him of making an unauthorised disclosure to the media. Andrew McCabe, the FBI Deputy Director, who was set to retire on Sunday, in a lengthy statement fired back alleging that his termination was an effort on the part of the administration to undermine the investigation in the alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election by counsel Robert Mueller. The announcement by Attorney General Jeff Sessions late last night comes within days of President Donald Trump firing his Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. Sessions said McCabe has been fired based on the recommendation of an internal FBI office that handles disciplinary matters. The FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) and Office of Inspector General (OIG)
Andrew McCabe had found McCabe made an unauthorised disclosure to the news media and “lacked candour - including under oath - on multiple occasions,� the attorney general said. “The FBI expects every employee to adhere to the highest standards of honesty, integrity and accountability. I have terminated the employment of Andrew McCabe effective immediately,� Sessions said McCabe refuted the allegations. “The idea that I was dishonest is just wrong. This is part of an effort to discredit me as a witness,� he said in a lengthy statement. Notably McCabe
had stepped own in January and had taken leave of absence. According to reports, McCabe was among the first at the FBI to scrutinise possible Trump campaign ties to Russia. And he is a potential witness to the question of whether Trump tried to obstruct justice, they said. “Mr Tr ump has taunted Mr McCabe both publicly and privately, and Republican allies have cast him as the centre of a ‘deep state’ effort to undermine the Trump presidency,� a report said. McCabe said for the last year and a half, he and his family have been the targets of an unrelenting assault on their reputation and his service to this country. “Articles too numerous to count have leveled every sort of false, defamatory and degrading allegation against us. The president’s tweets have amplified and exacerbated it all. He called for my firing. He called for me to be stripped of my pension after more than 20 years of service.
9 Zuma to face graft prosecution PRETORIA, MAR 17 (AGENCIES): Former South African president Jacob Zuma will face prosecution on corruption charges that haunted much of his term in office, the country’s chief prosecutor said Friday. Zuma is accused of taking kickbacks from the $5 billion purchase of fighter jets, patrol boats and other arms, manufactured by five European firms, including British military equipment maker BAE Systems and French company Thales. National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesman Luvuyo Mfaku confirmed to AFP that Thales would also face prosecution, alongside Zuma. Thales declined to make any immediate comment. “After consideration of the matter I am of the view there are reasonable prospects of a successful prosecution of Mr Zuma on the charges listed in the indictment,� National Director of Public Prosecutions Shaun Abrahams told a media briefing in Pretoria.
Xi Jinping re-elected China president, Wang VP Greek Minister receives envelope with bullet BEIJING, MAR 17 (PTI): Xi Jinping was today reelected as president for a second five-year tenure by China’s rubber-stamp parliament, days after it scrapped the two-term rule for the presidency and allowed him to have a lifelong tenure. The NPC has also elected 64-year-old Xi as the head of the Central Military Commission (CMC), the overall high command of the two million strong Chinese military, the world’s largest. Xi has already been
elected as general secretary of the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC) at its once-in-five-year congress in October last year. Significantly, Xi’s loyalist and close confidant Wang Qishan, 69, has been elected as vice president, who like Xi is set for a lifelong tenure. Today’s election comes after the National People’s Congress (NPC) on March 11 ratified the constitutional amendment for removing the two-term limit for president and vice president proposed by the CPC.
The election will ensure Xi heads the CPC, the military and the presidency, perhaps for life. He is the first Chinese leader to have that privilege after party founder Chairman Mao Zedong who ruled China from 1949 till his death in 1976. Technically the election marks Xi’s second-term which would last till 2023. But after the constitutional amendments removed the term limit he is expected to have a limitless tenure. Xi was elected unanimously as president and head of CMC by 2,970
deputies of NPC which has the reputation of being a rubber-stamp parliament for routinely ratifying CPC proposals. Wang, however got 2,969, one vote less in the carefully choreographed poll. Observers say the one vote dissent was officially sanctioned to show diversity in China’s political system. After the results were announced in the nationally televised show of the NPC proceedings, Xi bowed and shook hands with colleagues. For the first time, he
along with other officials took oath on the newlyamended Constitution swearing to be faithful to the charter of the People’s Republic of China, defend its authority, be loyal to the country and the people. The oath also stipulates that they will be committed and honest while performing duties, accept people’s supervision and work hard to help build a great modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious and beautiful.
ATHENS, MAR 17 (IANS): Greek Foreign Affairs Minister Nikos Kotzias has received an envelope containing a bullet and a threatening letter over the ongoing negotiations to settle the name dispute with Macedonia, officials said on Saturday. The envelope was sent to the Ministry earlier this week while Kotzias’ aides also received threatening calls, Greek national news agency AMNA reported. “All those

10 dead in Philippine plane crash MANILA, MAR 17 (AFP): Ten people were killed when a small plane crashed into a house just outside the Philippine capital today, police and aviation officials said. The twin-engine aircraft crashed shortly after taking off in Plaridel town, killing all five aboard as well as three children, a mother and a grandmother from the family in the house, said Superintendent Julio Lizardo. “We had to dig through the rubble to find the bodies,� he said, explaining why the toll rose from an initial figure of seven dead. Officials declined to say what may have caused the crash of the Piper PA-23 Apache, operated by a local charter company.
Fake Prince Albert cons elite in Monaco NICE (FRANCE), MAR 17 (AGENCIES): Crooks are impersonating top personalities in Monaco, including even Prince Albert II, to scam money from high-flying victims, reports said Saturday in the Mediterranean principality. A Prince Albert lookalike had used a video contact supposedly from the ruler’s own office to target the elite, the Monaco-Matin newspaper said. The government of the millionaires’ playground issued a statement confirming such stings but without naming the prince, who boasts a fortune estimated at some two billion euros ($2.4 billion). “For several weeks, individuals who are part of organised groups, have been stealing the identities of high-ranking personalities in the principality and trying to establish personal contact with them ... notably through electronic messages, SMS or video-conferencing via a WhatsApp type of application,� the statement said. It described the targets are “leaders of society or people with responsibility�. Headed notepaper from official bodies in Monaco signed apparently by the relevant people have been transmitted and calls can appear to come from the real
numbers for the institution, the government added. “All this is intended to obtain, under the pretext of an urgent financial need, money transfers from foreign bank accounts, particularly in Asia,� the government added. Monaco-Matin said a journalist had been targeted last autumn in one such con with a fake prince supposedly trying to negotiate the release of a local man kidnapped by an Islamist group.

who will sign the sell out of our Macedonia will face the elimination of their entire families,� read the letter. A police investigation was underway to find the perpetrators. Kotzias had received two similar letters in early February with threats against him and his family. The long-standing dispute between the two neighbours started when Macedonia declared independence from former Yugoslavia in 1991.

W ill Danny Boyle One day workshop on song writing held direct the next Bond film? M
D
anny Boyle has revealed he is working with Trainspotting writer John Hodge on a script for the next James Bond film. If made it will reunite the Oscar-winning director with 007 star Daniel Craig, with whom he worked on a short film made for the 2012 London Olympics. Boyle said this week he and Hodge had “got an idea” and were “working on a script”. “It all depends on how it turns out,” the director told Metro US. Bond producers Eon have been contacted by the BBC but have yet to comment. Boyle and Hodge’s agents have also been contacted. Eon announced last year that the 25th official instalment in the
James Bond series would be released in November 2019. Craig later confirmed he would be returning to make his fifth Bond, having previously starred in Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall and Spectre. When the release date was announced, Eon said the script for the new film would be written by regular Bond screenwriters Neal Purvis and Robert Wade. According to the Daily Mail’s Baz Bamigboye, however, it is possible that script “now won’t get made”. It is not uncommon for Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson to commission scripts that are not eventu-

ally produced. Peter Morgan, of The Queen and Frost/Nixon fame, reportedly worked with Purvis and Wade on a film treatment entitled Once Upon a Spy. That film was never made, though one of its key plot points - the death of Bond’s superior M - did end up forming the climax to 2012’s Skyfall. The Bond series also has a history of bringing in writers to work on existing scripts. Paul Haggis worked on 2006’s Casino Royale, while director Sam Mendes enlisted playwright Jez Butterworth to work on Spectre. Boyle’s other current projects include All You Need is Love, a Richard Curtis-scripted film that revolves around the music of The Beatles. According to the Mail, it is hoped Boyle can begin shooting ‘Bond 25’ at the end of the year once All You Need is Love is completed. But what is the “idea” behind Boyle and Hodge’s film? “It would be foolish of me to give any of it away,” said Boyle this week.
usik-A (Alobo Naga School of Music) in association with Livejam India & CMPA UK/US organized a one-day workshop ‘Songs of India’ on song writing and worship with Allen Ganta Worship pastor (Sounds of the Nations) on the March 17 at Music-A, Alobo Naga School of music, Dimapur, premises. More than 40 worship artistes, leaders, musicians and songwriter from various churches, bible colleges, lyricists and poets from across the state participated at the workshop. The session included theory and practical knowhow on song-writing and music, including breakout sessions where the participants were made to write and compose songs, and made to perform their songs at the close of the workshop. Workshop mentors gave feedbacks and evaluation at the end. The organizers informed that they will be coming up with a followup/community to establish a local chapter of the participants to ensure that regular meets take place, to write more songs as and for community the vision and aim of Songs of India project
is to empower individuals to write the songs of the Lord with the sounds of the land. The project aims to compose 500 fresh songs in 5 years using Indian languages and music. The workshop will conduct songwriting workshops to enable more songs to be written keeping the Indian context in mind and build a community of songwriters to further curate and nurture local talent. Here are what participants had to say: Aren Sayer (worship leader): “This workshop is something very divine and beautiful, an experience I am privileged to encounter for the first time. The word of God and the idea of song writing or new song/sound going hand in hand and also learning from the position of identifying yourself and the authority you posse as a nation shaker is just overwhelming. Kudos to Alobo Naga for this great initiative. “
Saronthung Kikon (artiste): “As a musician this is one part I mostly enjoy because it opens up my mind to a whole new world in learning new things about new music. To be a part of this workshop
is an immense pleasure for me personally. Getting to learn from the great musician who has lots and lots of experience is a joy for me. This workshop is definitely going to help me in my journey as a
musician. Chanbeni: “To me it would have been a great loss had I not been here today. I think I understood now how to write a song. Hope I don’t give up trying.”

The 27-year-old defender, whose progress was halted by a knee injury last April, returned to make 10 appearances this season but has been sidelined since early February. “Since I joined Manchester United, it has been everything I thought it would be and more,” said the Argentine international, who has penned a new deal until 2021, with the option of a further year. “I am extremely happy to extend my stay at this great club,” added Rojo, who joined the Premier League side from Sporting Lisbon in 2014. “When I joined, my aim was to help the team win trophies and we have done that over the past couple of seasons.” K Y M C
Maimi, Mar 17 (Agencies): Maria Sharapova has withdrawn from next week’s Miami Open because of a left forearm injury. It has been a troubled season so far for the former world No 1, who has not won a match since the Australian Open having lost in the opening round in Doha and last week in Indian Wells. After that defeat by Naomi Osaka, she parted ways with coach Sven Groeneveld, who had stuck with her through her 15-month doping ban, while she pulled out of last month’s tournament in Dubai, also with a forearm problem. In a statement on the official Miami Open website, Sharapova said, “I am really sorry that I have to withdraw from one of my favourite tournaments with my left forearm injury. I am doing everything possible to return to the tour as soon as possible.” The 30-year-old returned from her suspension last April but has struggled to make an impact at the top of the game and is currently ranked 41.

FA Cup: Spurs cruise into semis
Erik Lamela capitalised on some tame Swansea defending to double Tottenham’s advantage on the stoke of half-time.
Lo n d o n, M a r 1 7 (Agencies): Tottenham remained on course for a first FA Cup success since 1991 following a dominant 3-0 victory over Swansea at the Liberty Stadium. In the absence of the injured Harry Kane, Christian Eriksen (11) and Erik Lamela (45+1) sent Spurs on their way with superb long-range strikes. Eriksen extended Spurs’ advantage in the 62nd minute after some poor defending from Carlos Carvalhal’s side, whose focus will now switch back to Premier League survival after the upcoming international break. Spurs’ task was helped by an early breakthrough as Swansea stood off Eriksen
and the Denmark international punished them, producing a superb strike to beat Kristoffer Nordfeldt. The visitors thought they had a second in the 23rd minute through Heung-min Son but the flag was raised for offside against South Korean forward after he latched onto Eriksen’s through ball. With VAR in use referee Kevin Friend checked in but with replays showing how tight it was, the decision stayed with the on-field official. Pochettino’s side did eventually get the second they deserved just before the break. The Swansea defence stood off again, this time allowing Lamela time and space to pick his spot from the edge of the area.
Carvalhal reacted by sending on Luciano Narsingh for Kyle Naughton at the break and they almost found a way back into the game through Martin Olsson then Tammy Abraham, but former Swansea goalkeeper Michel Vorm made a superb double stop to preserve his side’s two-goal advantage. Nordfeldt responded with a fine save of his own to deny Eric Dier but he couldn’t keep out Eriksen’s 62nd-minute strike as Spurs made sure of victory. Dier’s cross deflected into the path of Lucas Moura, who laid the ball off for Eriksen, and the Dane’s low strike found the bottom corner despite Nordfeldt getting a touch.

Lo n d o n, M a r 1 7 (Agencies): For mer England batsman Kevin Pietersen has appeared to announce his retirement from cricket in a four-word tweet. Pietersen had said last month the current Pakistan Super League will be his last appearance in a cricket tournament abroad, however it seems he may have called time on his career entirely. T h e t w e e t r e a d ,” BOOTS UP! Thank you!” The 37-year-old, who played for Quetta Gladiators during the PSL, has been playing white-ball cricket across the world since being exiled from the England fold in 2014. South Africa-born Pietersen has played for Delhi Daredevils and Rising Pune Supergiant in the IPL, Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash, St Lucia Stars in the Caribbean and Sunfoil Dolphins in South Africa, as well as with Surrey.

I was not.” Osaka’s opponent in the final is fellow 20-yearold Kasatkina, the 20th seed from Russia, who earlier defeated American eighth seed Williams 4-6 6-4 7-5. Kasatkina has beaten four major champions, and current top-20 players, at Indian Wells this month Sloane Stephens, Caroline Wozniacki, Angelique Kerber and Williams. Speaking on court after the match, she said: “It’s crazy actually this night. We played almost three hours - incredible match.” She added at her postmatch press conference, quoted by the official WTA website: “Match like this, you’re just speechless. “Even (when) I meet my coach and my brother after the match, I was not able to say anything. I was just, like, ‘Aaaaah, okay, that was pretty nice’. Too many emotions and you cannot explain everything.”

rectify if a player has been mistakenly sanctioned. “Video assistant referee technology is something positive that will bring much more to the transparency of football,” Infantino said earlier this
week on a visit to Lima. “Video refereeing isn’t going to be the solution to everything in football. What we want to do is avoid resounding mistakes by referees.” Video assistant referee technology has been trialled since 2016 by 20 federations, including the German Bundesliga and Italian Serie A, with around 1,000 matches involved. But it has not been universally welcomed with
even UEFA, the European governing body, still to be convinced. “Nobody knows exactly how Video assistant referee technology will work. There is already a lot of confusion,” said UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin, who insists that VAR will not be used in next season’s Champions League. “I am not at all against it but we must better explain when it will be used. We will see at the World Cup,” he added.

Chennaiyin FC clinch second ISL trophy India not hosting next U-20 FIFA WC naiyin goal. Chennaiyin goalkeeper Karanjit Singh did well to produce a couple of excellent back to back saves of consecutive corners much to the disappointment of the Bengaluru players and fans. Chennaiyin tried to slow down the pace of the game towards the end as they tried to hold on to the lead. However, Fedor revived the rapidly dying hopes of the Bengaluru fans when he managed to beat Karanjit in the second minute of added time. However, Chennaiyin survived an anxious last couple of minutes to claim a well-deserved win.
NEW DELHI, Mar 17 (PTI): India’s bid to host the next U-20 FIFA World Cup ended in disappointment as world football governing body FIFA accorded the status to Poland. The European nation will host the next edition of the tournament in 2019. This was decided at the FIFA council meeting in Bogota, Colombia. Amid much fanfare, India had submitted its bid for hosting the mega event after successfully organising the U-17 World Cup last October. The success of the U-17 event emboldened the All India Football Federation (AIFF) to submit a bid for hosting another FIFA tournament in two year’s time.
Both India and Poland fulfilled the most important criteria - of having ready stadia. Wi t h t h e t o u r n a ment scheduled to be held around May to June, Poland emerged as the preferred choice as it will be difficult for the players to play in the scorching Indian summer. It is believed that is what prompted FIFA to opt for Poland. The U-20 World Cup has featured players such Diego Maradona and Lio-
nel Messi - who would go on to becomes legends of the game. While the legendary Maradona played in the 1979 edition in Japan, Messi featured in the 2005 tournament in the Netherlands. The last edition of the tournament was held in South Korea last year. Argentina have won the tournament most number of times (six), followed by their South American rivals Brazil, who triumphed on five occasions.
yin after their maiden victory in the 2015 season. Bengaluru were the more attacking team right from the start. Not surprisingly, they took the early lead when a fast counter attack down the right flank saw Udanta Singh find Chettri with a horizontal pass at the edge of the Chennaiyin six-yard box. Chhetri made no mistake, bulging the net with a diving first time header. The visitors found the equaliser against the run of play around 10 minutes later when Mailson rose above the home defence to head in a corner. Delgado missed a great chance for Bengaluru at the half-hour mark when his attempt off a loose ball inside the penalty box went wide of the Chennaiyin goal.
The game slowed down a bit towards the end of the first half. Both teams had their chances in an end to end affair but it were Bengaluru who looked more dangerous in attack. Alves put Chennaiyin in the lead just before the break when he outjumped his marker to head in off another corner to silence the local crowd. Bengaluru suffered another blow when Spanish import Dimas Delgado picked up an injury and had to be replaced by fellow Spaniard Victor Perez right almost at the stroke of half-time. Buoyed by the lead, Chennaiyin started the second half strongly and Gregory Nelson created a very good chance when he picked up the ball just out-
side the Bengaluru penalty box, dribbled in and left fly a powerful attempt which was well saved by goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu. Chennaiyin played better in the second half. They were more composed, the passing and coordination was also better, which put the Bengaluru defence under pressure at regular intervals. The visitors scored their third goal when a cross from the midfield found Jeje Lalpehlua at the edge of the penalty area. His lay off was met with a curling effort from just outside the box by Raphael Augusto who beat a diving Gurpreet all ends up near the right post. Bengaluru responded with a period of sustained pressure on the Chen-
