Rs 9,000 cr gasgrid project for NE, Bengal: Pradhan AGARTALA, MAR 2 (AGENCIES): A Rs 9,000 crore gas-grid project has been approved to transport natural gas among North Eastern states and West Bengal, Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said on Saturday. “There is huge amount of natural gas available in Assam, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh and other North East states are being tapped into for the Rs 9,265 crore North East Gas Grid (NEGG). The government has okayed this project to transport gas among the North Eastern states as well as West Bengal via Siliguri,” Pradhan said inaugurating Sonamura Gas Collecting station of ONGC. Transportation and availability of LPG has been eased after the Centre signed a deal with Bangladesh to ferry LPG via Chittagong international sea port and land route. “Carrying LPG tankers or cylinders by trucks through the northeast is a big problem due to its mountainous terrain.

IAF pilot says he was mentally harassed in Pakistan: report NEW DELHI, MAR 2 (AGENCIES): Indian Air Force (IAF) Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman has disclosed that Pakistani authorities did not physically torture him during the nearly 60 hours he spent in their custody but subjected him to considerable “mental harassment”, news agency ANI quoted sources as saying today. Pakistani officials maintained that although Wing Commander Varthaman was initially assaulted by local residents upon parashooting into their territory, he was treated in accordance with the Geneva Convention after being taken into custody. Initial photographs of the captured pilot showed him blindfolded and handcuffed by the Pakistani military in an injured condition. A video released later, however, had the pilot sipping tea and saying that his captors were treating him well. The videography process, however, was far from over. News agency PTI reported that just before the pilot was about to be released, he was forced to record a video statement praising

the Pakistani military. The clip, which had the Wing Commander saying that the Pakistani Army saved him from the mob, is said to have delayed his handover by three hours. The pilot was handed over to Indian authorities around 9.20 p.m. Friday, a day after Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan announced that they would return him in a “gesture of peace”. The pilot’s homecoming was celebrated across the nation, with politicians, celebrities and others saluting his grace and courage in the most dangerous circumstances. Upon entering India through the Attari-Wagah border, Wing Commander Varthaman was shifted to the Air Force Central Medical Establishment centre as part of his “cooling down” process. He was later visited by Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who listened to a detailed account of his time in confinement. The pilot also met his parents and several top officials of the Air Force this morning, according to news agency PTI.

WWD: Chang calls for curbing wildlife crime DIMAPUR, MAR 2 (NPN): On the occasion of the World Wildlife Day (WWD)2019, Nagaland minister for environment, forest & climate change, CM Chang, has appealed to the people of the state to join hands with the government in curbing wildlife crime. Observed on March 3 every year, the World Wildlife Day was dedicated to celebrate and raise awareness of the world’s wild fauna and flora. In his message, Chang pointed out that India was one of the mega bio-diverse countries of the world. However, he said that diversity was under stress from poaching and organised wildlife trade with global ramifications. Illegal wildlife trade is driven mainly by the huge profits earned by traders, he said, adding that low risk and no penalties make the trade highly lucrative. The minister said that the state government had been implementing the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 since December 18, 2018 by looking into the importance of forest and wildlife in life.

Plea in SC to frame laws against fake news

This is it!

“Sunday ban there has become our boon here.” K Y M C

NEW DELHI, MAR 2 (IANS): Supreme Court has been moved seeking direction to the Centre to frame guidelines and to put in place a statutory regime for curbing fake news and punishing those responsible for authoring and circulating them. The petitioner Anuja Kapur has contended that the unrestricted circulation of fake news on the social media leads to crime against humanity and violation of citizens’ right to fair and

factual news and reports. The petition has listed 12 crimes that include mob lynching, communal riots, breach of peace, tranquillity and public order, unlawful assembly, mass hysteria, mob violence, abetment to murder, sedition, influencing of elections and criminal conspiracy that at times take place due to fake news. Kapur has contended that there are no set laws that curb and punish the author of fake news including those promoting it on social

media platforms. “There is no accountability, liability and responsibility to restrict or counter fake news by organising press conferences or putting it on the official website of the concerned authorities for the general public to be aware of the facts,” the petitioner has contended, seeking to saddle the government and concerned authorities to counter fake news by making people aware of the factual position. “Videos of previous air-shows and photos of crashing fighter jets were being peddled as the latest from both the countries on various platforms. The intensifying tension between India and Pakistan since Tuesday’s air strike has turned the social media into a virtual battlefield and fact-checkers are left grappling with a deluge of misinformation and fake news,” her plea stated.

reduce a person’s ability to perform everyday activities. Alzheimer’s disease accounts for 60 to 80 percent of cases.)

Highlighting the fact that the WHO had declared dementia an impending epidemic, Dr. Ngullie urged the gathering of senior citizens to

Operated Vehicle. East Jaintia Hills district Deputy Commissioner F.M. Dopth thanked the teams for their efforts. “We wish them a safe journey home,” Dopth said. The labourers got trapped when they broke the wall of another mine and water gushed into their mine. The tragedy came to light after five labourers escaped from the coal pit. The disaster took place despite an interim ban on rat-hole coal mining in Mehgalaya by the National Green Tribunal since April 17, 2014. The Supreme Court, which is monitoring the rescue operations, has ordered that the labourers must be taken out of the mine “dead” or “alive”.

The nation has to work as Team India to build a stronger, more developed country which is capable of defending itself against hostile forces “and disruptive designs like we have demonstrated two days ago in a fitting response to our neighbour’s inaction to check cross border terrorism”, the Vice President said in a reference to recent airstrike against terror camp in Pakistan. “Our fight is against terror and all its manifestations, not against any religion as our External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj made it clear in her address at the OIC meeting,” Mr. Naidu said, adding that the world, especially South East Asia has numerous problems like poverty, illiteracy and unemployment.

by the commandos of the respective forces, and the peripheral security would be given by the central and state security agencies. Tensions between India and Pakistan flared up after 40 CRPF personnel were killed and many injured on February 14

in one of the deadliest terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir when a JeM suicide bomber rammed a vehicle carrying over 100 kg of explosives into their bus in Pulwama district. Amid mounting outrage, the Indian Air Force carried out a counter-terror

operation, hitting what it said was a JeM training camp in Balakot, deep inside Pakistan on February 26. The next day, Pakistan retaliated with a large air formation, comprising 24 fighter jets, including F-16s.

NEW DELHI, Mar 2 (AGENCIES): The petitions calling for a review of the Rafale case judgment will be heard in open court on Wednesday by the Supreme Court. The petitions for review of the top court’s December verdict came after the centre called for a correction in the verdict. The petitions - filed by Former NDA ministers Yashwant Sinha and Arun Shourie, advocate Prashant Bhushan and Aam Aadmi party MP Sanjay Singh - contend that the court should to re-consider its judgment, which relies on a “non-existent” CAG report to uphold the Rafale deal. In a hearing last Tuesday, the top court had said it would also hear all the petitions connected with Rafale, including the centre’s plea for modification of a “factual error” in the December verdict, where it mentions a report by the national auditor, the CAG. The auditor’s report was placed before the parliament after the verdict, in the session that ended on February 13. In its petition, the centre said the court had misunderstood the procedure mentioned in the report it presented in a sealed cover - that the CAG had examined the pricing of the jets and submitted its report.

Asked whether Balakot attack mark a new normal in India strategy, he said India, in the last few years, has emerged as an important country in the world with fastest-growing economy which would become the fifth-largest in a few years and third-largest in a decade.

New Delhi, Mar 2 (AGENCIES): Lashing out at Pakistan for aiding and abetting terrorism, Vice President Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday said the neighbouring country was damaging itself and humanity by these acts, and underscored that global consensus should be built to focus on eradicating the scourge of terrorism. “Our neighbour is aiding, abetting, funding, training terrorists. They are not able to understand the damage they have done including to the humanity and also to themselves,” Mr. Naidu said at an event here, without naming Pakistan. He said while India wants to be friendly with all countries and neighbours and has never attacked any country, “If somebody wants to do some mischief, we have to answer and for that the country has to be united”. “We cannot allow

He said he had written then that “India has a fair share of compulsive contrarians and Nawabs of negativity which is okay in the democracy but as far as India is concerned, there are ever so many instances when the security forces foil terror attacks. The terrorists choose their target and time.” He said they could also ask the same about 26/11 Mumbai attack but “I don’t want to”. “The national mood is one of positivity. It is the miniscule minority which is asking, that is democracy,” Jaitley said. Replying to a question about the BJP’s approach to winning the hearts of Kashmiris and the coalition experience with the Peoples Democratic Party, the Minister admitted that the coalition experiment did not work.

Hyderabad, Mar 2 (IANS): MIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to tell the country as to what action he took over the intelligence failure which led to the February 14 terror attack at Pulwama that killed 40 CRPF troopers. The Hyderabad MP asked Modi to specify as to how many officials were sacked and how many of his Ministers resigned over the intelligence failure. Addressing a meeting to mark the 61st anniversary of the revival of the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM), Owaisi said Modi also owed an answer to the country on diplomatic and political failure. “How the RDX came? Where is the DNA of the suicide bombers? These are the questions whose answers the country wants to know from the Prime Minister,”

New Delhi, Mar 2 (IANS): Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Saturday said that the strike against a terror camp in Pakistan had nothing to do with domestic politics and accused opposition parties of making statements that people in Pakistan were happy about. “It (the aerial strike) has nothing to do with domestic politics and it was taken purely in the interest of security,” he told the India Today conclave here. Jaitley gave this answer when asked about Karnataka BJP leader B.S. Yeddyurappa’s statement that the party will sweep 22 of the state’s 28 Lok Sabha seats because of the strike on Jaish-e-Mohammed terror camp in Balakot. “It should not have been done and the party took a very categorical stand against his statement,” he said. He took exception to former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s remarks that there was a “mad rush” on the part of India and Pakistan to get into a conflagration, and wondered how Singh could equate the two countries on moral and other grounds. Jaitley also referred to a meeting of 22 opposition leaders who pretended to stand shoulder to shoulder

over whether the Congress president would contact Prasad to break the logjam over seat-sharing among grand alliance partners in Bihar and Jharkhand ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. Prasad has been in Ranchi’s Birsa Munda jail since December 2017 after his conviction in Rs 900crore fodder scam cases that broke out in the early 1990s in united Bihar. The AICC chief claimed that former France President (François Hollande) had said ‘Modi said if Rafale deal was to be sealed then Anil Ambani should be given the (offset) contract.’ In his no holds barred attack on Modi, the Congress president further alleged that the prime minister had waived Rs 3.5 lakh crore loan of industrialists,

said Owaisi. Referring to the video of the suicide bomber, the MP said Modi should have also found out from where he got the two US-made firearms shown in the video. Owaisi cautioned the political parties against seeking votes on the sacrifices of brave soldiers. “If any party seeks votes on sacrifices of brave soldiers, I will expose you,” he said. On return of the Indian Air Force (IAF) pilot Abhinandan Varthaman from Pakistan, he said MIM was happy that the son of India returned safely. “Country’s enemies are our enemies. Terrorists are our enemies. Political differences are there and they will always be there but country comes first. There will be no compromise as long as the country’s border, its territorial integrity and sovereignty are concerned.” On Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi’s statement asking India to provide evidence of Jaish-e-Mohammed leader Masood Azhar’s involvement in the terror attack, Owaisi pointed out that the UN had declared JeM a proscribed organization. “What more proof Pakistan needs>?” he asked. Owaisi demanded that Pakistan should jail Masood Azhar.

But they (the Centre) waived Rs 3.5 lakh crore loan of industrialists,” said Gandhi, referring to the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Yojana in which farmers having less than or upto two hectare will be given Rs 6,000 per year. He said if his party was voted to power, it would give minimum income guarantee to the poor by directly transferring money into their accounts. Focusing on tribals and farmers, Rahul said the Congress party had in 2013 brought the Land Acquisition Act to protect the jal, jungle, jameen (water, forest and land) of the tribals. The AICC president said farm loans were waived in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan within 10 days of the Congress forming the government in those states.

Ranchi, Mar 2 (PTI): Congress president Rahul Gandhi Saturday took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying while the Indian Air Force (IAF) was defending the country, Modi stole Rs 30,000 crore from the force and put it in businessman Anil Ambani’s pocket. He asked chowkidars (watchmen) not to get worried over the slogan “chowkidar chor hain” as the country knows that “it was meant for Prime Minister Narendra Modi”. Speaking at the party’s Parivartan Ulgulan Maha Rally at the Morahbadi Ground here with leaders of the Mahagathbandhan, Gandhi reiterated that Rs 30,000 crore was “wrongfully” given to Anil Ambani in the purchase of Rafale fighter planes. Ulgulan is the term used for the movement of justice and independence launched by legendary tribal fighter Birsa Munda against the British in the 19th century.

Nagaland Post Vol. XXIX NO. 85 Dimapur, SUNDAY, MARCH 3, 2019

Act of worship

ecent opinions with regard to ban on Sunday shopping in Dimapur in particular evoke the fierce debates in western nations that were predominantly Christian. In general, people of Nagaland including most parts of the north east states that are predominantly Christian observe Sunday as a day of worship and also avoid any formal programmes and engagements on the day. Of course, with spread of globalism and job responsibilities, Sunday shopping has become unavoidable. Most of the shops except pharmacies, eating places and markets remain open in most of the north eastern states. A group had recently imposed a complete ban on Sunday shopping . Later pharmacies and restaurants reopened while vegetable and meat markets remain closed. In this regard, it may pointed out that hundreds of shoppers from Dimapur and other places go to nearby Khatkhati market to buy their kitchen requirements. It is believed that the Sunday ban has resulted in a massive economic boom for shop keepers and traders in Khatkhati. In that way, the ban proved to be like imposing the failed prohibition act in Nagaland. The Sunday ban is largely understood in the context of the Biblical commandment in the book of Exodus 20:8 : “Remember the sabbath day, and keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work. But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work – you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the alien resident in your towns.” Messianic Jews observe the Sabbath on Saturday, the seventh day of the week, for the blessing, and to be obedient to the Torah. Christians worship on Sunday, the first day of the week, to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. Historically Hebrew Christians are those believers in Christ, or the Messiah, that are Jewish but are not affiliated with Messianic Judaism. Messianic Jews, on the other hand, are those Jewish believers in Messiah who fully keep and retain their Jewishness in theology and practice. Jesus kept all the commandments in the Torah but then again in Mark 2:27 Jesus said to the Pharisees , “The Sabbath was made to meet the needs of people, and not people to meet the requirements of the Sabbath.” For the Gentile believer, Sunday, or the first day of the week (Acts 20:7), is not the same as Saturday, the seventh day. As per the Gregorian calendar, Sabbath is identified as Friday sunset to Saturday sunset. Similarly, the first day of the week (“Sunday”) coincides with Gregorian Saturday sunset to Sunday sunset. Early Christians continued to pray and rest on the seventh day. By the 2nd century AD some Christians also observed Sunday, the day of the week on which Jesus had risen from the dead and on which the Holy Spirit had come to the apostles. As stated, imposing ban on Sunday shopping may be like prohibition which will be difficult to enforce. In the Old testament , the day is meant to be a total rest from any activity or movement including rest for servants and animals etc. The objective of worship is not confined to Sunday but for all days where adherents put their faith into practice and not be reduced to the state of being Sunday Christians.

DailyDevotion Have You Felt the Pain Inflicted by the Lord? He said to him the third time, “…do you love Me?” —John 21:17 Have you ever felt the pain, inflicted by the Lord, at the very center of your being, deep down in the most sensitive area of your life? The devil never inflicts pain there, and neither can sin nor human emotions. Nothing can cut through to that part of our being but the Word of God. “Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, ‘Do you love Me?’ ” Yet he was awakened to the fact that at the center of his personal life he was devoted to Jesus. And then he began to see what Jesus’ patient questioning meant. There was not the slightest bit of doubt left in Peter’s mind; he could never be deceived again. And there was no need for an impassioned response; no need for immediate action or an emotional display. It was a revelation to him to realize how much he did love the Lord, and with amazement he simply said, “Lord, You know all things….” Peter began to see how very much he did love Jesus, and there was no need to say, “Look at this or that as proof of my love.” Peter was beginning to discover within himself just how much he really did love the Lord. He discovered that his eyes were so fixed on Jesus Christ that he saw no one else in heaven above or on the earth below. But he did not know it until the probing, hurting questions of the Lord were asked. The Lord’s questions always reveal the true me to myself. Oh, the wonder of the patient directness and skill of Jesus Christ with Peter! Our Lord never asks questions until the perfect time. Rarely, but probably once in each of our lives, He will back us into a corner where He will hurt us with His piercing questions. Then we will realize that we do love Him far more deeply than our words can ever say.

Post-mortem

Speech of CM Chang on WWD 2019

O

n the auspicious occasion of the World Wildlife Day (WWD) 3rd March 2019, I sincerely congratulate the people of the State for conservation and protection of forest and wildlife. The celebration of the World Wildlife Day is done globally on the 3rd March every year, commemorating the day of signing of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (CITES) by world leaders. The theme of the World Wildlife Day 2019 is “Life Below Water: For People and Planet ”. This becomes responsibility of the Government and people of the State to join hands in protecting water bodies in the State; which are habitats of a variety of wild flora and fauna. We are well aware that basic needs of human beings i.e. food, clothes and shelter are, directly and indirectly, met from forests. Forests not only have local affects in field of climate change, global warming and health etc but also have affects in these fields at regional, national and global level. Forests address ecological, food and water security of the country. Human beings and animals have very intrinsic relationship. The survival of man is dependent on the survival of animal and plant life. Nature, forest and wildlife can survive without human beings; but vice versa is not possible. Our country is one of the mega bio-diverse countries of the world. This diversity is, however, under stress from poaching and organised wildlife trade with global ramifications. Illegal wildlife trade is driven mainly by the huge profits earned by traders. Low risk and no penalties make the trade highly lucrative. I appeal to the

C

people of the State to join hands with the Government in curbing wildlife crime. The importance of forest & wildlife had been recognised long back in our constitution and in the Directive Principles of the State Policy. In Nagaland, our forefathers were hunters in the past. They used to hunt wild animals to eat and survive, as nothing edible was available in jungle. Now, the State of Nagaland is developing like other parts of the country. Plenty of edible material is available for eating and survival. People are coming forward for protection and conservation of forest and wildlife. The latest example is protection of Amur falcons by the people and the State has been recognised as the Falcons’ capital of the world. The provisions of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 are in conflict with cultural practices of the Nagas. The Government of Nagaland had been implementing the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 since 18th December 2018, by looking into the importance of forest and wildlife in our life. Water and wetlands play an important role for the rural poor as they affect their health, livelihood and economy. There are 421 wetlands, spread over 21554 hectare in the State of Nagaland. These wetlands are degraded, polluted due to biotic factors namely; siltation, catchment erosion, discharge of domestic sewage and effluents, etc. which result in deterioration of water quality and prolific weed growth, decline in biodiversity and other associative problems. There is a need of conservation of water bodies. Scenario of forest and wildlife is completely different in Nagaland, as compared to

other parts of our country. In Nagaland, the lion’s share of forest wealth (88.3%) is owned by individuals and communities and in other parts of our country, most of forests are owned by the Government. Thus, the people of the State are more responsible for protection and conservation of forest and wildlife as compared to the Government. Functions of forests are independent of their ownership. Similarly, wild animals do not differentiate between Government owned forests and privately owned forests. They exist where they get food, water, shelter and security. People are coming forward to declare their land for wild animals and their habits. The Government of Nagaland has Notified 57 numbers of Community Reserves and good numbers of proposals for Notification of Community Conservation Areas (CCAs) into Community Reserves are under process with the Government. Nagaland is the only State of our country; where extent of privately/ community owned protected areas (354.6057 Sq.Km) is more than the Government owned protected areas (241.2 Sq.Km). On the auspicious occasion of the WORLD WILDLIFE DAY 2019 (03-03-2019), I appeal to all my fellow citizens of Nagaland to join hands with the Forest Department in saving, water bodies, rich wildlife of the State, come forward to declare their land, solely for the purpose of wild animals and their habitats, in order to ensure availability of resources for our future generation on sustained basis. Minister for Environment, Forest & Climate Change and Parliamentary Affairs, Government of Nagaland

World Hearing Day on March 3

W

orld Hearing Day is held on 3rd March each year to raise awareness on how to prevent deafness and hearing loss and promote ear and hearing care across the world. Department of Health and Family Welfare Nagaland under the programme, National Programme for Prevention and Control of Deafness (NPPCD) also observes this day along with the rest of the country. The theme for this year is “Check your Hearing.” WHO will draw attention to the importance of early identification and intervention for hearing loss. Many people live with unidentified hearing loss, often failing to realize that they are missing out on certain sounds and words. Checking one’s hearing would be the first step towards addressing the issue. The key message for this event include: All people should check their hearing from time to time, specially those who are at a higher risk of hearing such as adults above 50 years, those working in noisy places , those listening to music at high volumes for long period of time and those experiencing ear problem Services for early identification and intervention should be made available through health system. On 3rd March 2019 WHO will launch a free app that allows people to check their hearing. The HearWHO app will be used to raise awareness about the importance of hearing. Encourage people to check their hearing regularly and practice safe listening. Allow health workers to check the hearing status of people in their communities. Ways to prevent hearing loss: Hearing loss cannot always be prevented sometimes it’s just part of getting older. But hearing loss due to exposure to loud noises is completely avoidable. Avoid loud noises. The best way to avoid noise-induced hearing loss is to keep away from loud noise as much as you can. Take care when listening to music. Listening to loud music through

earphones or headphones is one of the biggest dangers to your hearing. Do not listen to music more than 60% of the maximum volume. Do not use earphones or headphones for more than an hour at a time. Take a break for at least 5 minutes every hour. Protect your hearing during loud events and activities, such as sports events, nightclubs by wearing earplugs that reduce the volumes of music. Take precaution at work. If you are exposed to loud noise through your work, make sure you wear any hearing protection you are given. The importance of hearing: It is important to be aware of hearing loss as it effects everyday life and gets worse with age in all adults. Many people with learning disabilities do not have their hearing checked, and families or carers often struggle to notice hearing problems. Large numbers of older people with learning disabilities were found to have hearing problems, but smaller numbers were aware of this before testing. Everyone with learning disabilities should be aware of how important hearing is and have regular checks, especially before they reach old age. Today, nearly one in two people over the age of 50 have difficulty understanding what people say in busy environments. As our hearing usually changes slowly over the years, a hearing loss can be quite difficult to recognise, while some sounds might still be easy to hear, other can become increasingly hard to make out. Knowing more about what to be aware of will help you monitor your own reactions, If you find yourself saying “ What did you say?” or “ Sorry could you say that again? “ you will know that it is time to take action. People get their teeth and eye checked regularly, so why not check your ears too?. Dr. R. Zhimatho, ENT Specialist, NHAK, Nagaland

Two questions to PDA Govt

orruption in public life is a gross violation of human rights. Corruption is anti-poor, anti-economic development, anti-life and anti-national too. Corruption is the major factor retarding the progress of our State of Nagaland and responsible for lakhs of people to live below poverty line despite astronomical amount of money being spent on developments. Corruption and mal-administration are like twin sisters each acts compliment to the other. It is corruption that has ruined Nagaland. Corruption has retarded Nagaland to be the youngest State in the North East India today despite being senior to few neighbour States by not less than 9 years. By corruption, the people of Nagaland are classified as the privileged and the non-privileged, the Govt. employee-able clan and the Govt. non-employee-able clan as if people from one clan are eligible all the time and from the other clan remains non-eligible. By this new culture, there seems to be some individuals being serving in more than one Department of the State Govt. simultaneously, that is, dual jobs held by a single individual. There also seems to be that some cadres of Naga National workers are employees of State Govt. By the new culture, there are royal clans and royal families mushroomed in Naga society seizing all the facilities be it Govt. jobs or financial benefits. By the prevailing culture, the State of Nagaland has been virtually hijacked by these royal clans and royal families leaving the rest absolute majority of the population high and dry. I cannot vouch that the Congress regime some 16 years ago was the best. In fact it was found wanted, and yet there was the system of governance. Contrary to what existed in governance yesterday, today, the system of governance has

been in haywire. Corruption is indeed a common phenomenon, and yet if the system is preserved, recovery hereafter will be faster. Indeed, it is painful to observe how daring and casual are the present leaders, both elected and appointed, in destroying the system. To cite one example, just for a business venture under School Education Department, the State Cabinet was convinced to remove the Suo Moto power from Vigilance Commission in June, 2016 during the NPF regime, and the power restoration was done through law court. The story of corruption is endless. In order to checkmate corruption, the Govt. of India introduced Lokpal at the Centre and Lokayukta in the States. This law, in principle, was approved by the Union Govt. and yet the practical enforcement was delayed by not establishing the Lokpal paraphernalia for years according to the convenience of the authorities manning the governance. The lackadaisical attitude of the Union Govt. attracted the attention of the Gandhian social activist Anna Hazare to undertake fast in Delhi a fortnight ago urging the BJP Govt. to establish the Lokpal Commission. Once the Lokpal and Lokayukta are appointed as anti-corruption ombudsman establishment, it cannot be dismissed nor transferred by the Govt. at will. As for Lokaukta, the State Govt. has to resort to impeachment when the situation demands through Legislative Assembly only. On the 23rd February, 2019, the Nagaland Assembly passed the Nagaland Lokayukta (Amendment) Bill 2019. This Bill, when enacted, will be the anticorruption law, and when it is enforced impartially and effectively, it will spare nobody irrespective of status. So, this law is in the best interest of the people. The Lokayukta will be a major deterrent to corrupt

prone politicians and bureaucrats. Whereas, the local papers carried a report on 24.2.2019 relating to the said Bill, and I quote ‘Out of the four amendments made, the most important is the including(inclusion) of Section 32-A which states “In all case where there are difficulties experienced in the implementation of this Act, provisions in this Act and the rules made there under shall be relaxed to the extent desirable by the Chief Minister”. Unquote. My first question is therefore, how the veto power is given to the Chief Minister by designation? The amendment to the Act has given the overriding and sweeping powers to the Chief Minister of Nagaland to selectively choose the corruption related cases for exemption and investigation. This Lokaykta will then be the best weapon for the Chief Minister to fend his business, political and bureaucratic cronies and injudiciously use the same against the marked adversaries. Will the Nagaland’s Lokayukta not become the most protective law for corrupts? Will not the corrupts henceforth take refuge under the Lokayukta than facing the wrath of the law? Will not the Act transform the elected head of the State to become the dictators like late Saddam Hussain of Iraq or Maduro of Venezuela? In my layman’s understanding of the context of the amendment, such law can be misused by anyone as the Chief Minister. Also, how the NPF, as opposition party, reacted to the amendment? If not by oversight, I did not come across NPF opposing the very amendment. Are both the benches-Treasury and Opposition, afraid of the Act and thus passed it to make it remained the weakest Lokayukta which cannot sting anyone hereafter? If so, Nagaland does not require obsolete laws. My second question is how the Chief Minister

of Nagaland intends to enforce the ILP in Dimapur District as his statement was published by local papers dated 26.2.2019. Quote. “... the indigenous people of the northeast region would not be affected even if the ILP was implemented in Dimapur”. “....native people from the north eastern region should be exempted so that the sense of belonging would be there”. The BEFR of 1873 commonly known as Inner Line Permit (ILP) is a mere entry permit for a visitor from outside Nagaland. The very purpose of ILP is therefore well known to everyone and I do not need to highlight. As a welfare Govt., it is good to be magnanimous and yet when it pertains to the survival of the indigenous people of Nagaland, the very interest of the sons of the soil should not be mortgaged for magnanimity. If the enforcement of ILP over Dimapur District is to be different as intended, the law of ILP has to be accordingly relaxed by amendment in the Assembly. Whereas, the fear of flooding Nagaland by people from outside are those from NE States. Not much will intrude into our State from distant States other than NE States. Those who have already landed and about to land are mostly from NE States. Those outsiders who are already in Nagaland are the indigenous citizens of NE States, and those who will definitely come will have the same status. We are talking about illegal immigrants, however, we have adequate laws to resist and deport that category of people. When those people are detected and deported, the GOI will stand by us. Whereas, we cannot take similar action against those indigenous citizens of any State in India under ILP. The only mechanism under ILP is to restrict the entry of outsiders into our land who are not indigenous citizens

of Nagaland for the reason that taking advantage of 15 days visit pass by one and remained in our State and die here used to be the practice. If at all, what is intended by the Govt. as for enforcement of ILP over Dimapur is to be the system, it is as good as not bringing Dimapur District under ILP Zone as such will never bring change to demographical nature of the district in

question. Dimapur remains to be the depot of storing the non-indigenous people who used to intrude into Nagaland as has been for decades, and the extension of ILP zone over Dimapur with the proposed system will make no difference at all. Is PDA really sincere to use the ILP for its bona fide citizens or use the same law for protection of beloved outsiders? Z. Lohe

DoSE clarifies ‘on exorbitant exam fee by govt. departments’

Sir,

In reference to the views expressed by a reader in local dailies under the caption ‘On exorbitant exam fees by government departments’, it is hereby clarified for the information of all concerned that the exam fee for the recruitment of LDA cum Computer Assistant has been fixed as Rs.400/(Rupees four hundred) by the Departmental Recruitment Board after considering all necessary expenditures expected to incur during the entire process and not fixed arbitrarily by the department of School Education. The Department could have decided to conduct the examination only at Kohima. But for the convenience of candidates from remote areas, it was decided to conduct the exam at each district head quarter. People having basic knowledge of cost of materials and rates of remunerations to be paid to various officials related to the conduct of exam can estimate the cost of conducting the exam at all district head quarters. Further, the department has already incurred expenses for making available the facility of online submission of applications for the convenience of the candidates. The assumption of 6000 to 8000 candidates applying for the exam is absurd and around 1500 candidates only have applied for the posts till 2nd March 2019. Further, comparing the exam fee fixed by different departments is logically not acceptable as the funding pattern for conduct of recruitment exams differ from one department to another department. In case of the Department of School Education, all expenses related to the conduct of the recruitment exam needs to be managed from the fee collected from applicants. The department tries its best to ease the burden of candidates at each stage and generating revenue from the recruitment exam is not the intention of the department as claimed by the reader. In regards to apprehension raised by the reader regarding ‘Quota system’, it is reiterated that the recruitment process has been undertaken in a transparent manner strictly following the established rules and regulations and all concerned are assured of conduct of impartial and fair recruitment. Wonthungo Tsopoe, Director of School Education

Sitharaman meets Abhinandan

New Delhi, Mar 2 (AGENCIES): Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday met IAF pilot Abhinandan Varthaman, who was released by Pakistan last night, in a Delhi hospital. Wing Commander Abhinandan arrived in the national capital around 11.45 pm last night, nearly two-and-ahalf hours after he crossed Wagah-Attari border in Punjab. During her interaction with the wing commander, Sitharaman enquired about his health. The officer was in high spirit and was happy to meet the defence minister. Sitharaman conveyed to Wing Commander Abhinandan that the whole country is proud of his courage and determination, the news agency reported quoting unnamed officials. During the meeting that took place at a medical facility of the Indian Air Force, the IAF pilot is understood to have explained to Sitharaman details about his time in custody of the Pakistan Army. Abinandan is undergoing thorough medical check-up following his return from Pakistan, where he was in custody of the army for more than 55 hours. The IAF pilot had landed on the other side of

the Line of Control during the aerial dogfight between the air forces of India and Pakistan on Wednesday morning. The Pakistan Air Force had breached Indian airspace and attempted to target military installations. Wing Commander Abhinandan was part of the Indian Air Force that foiled the PAF attempt and chased a large package of fighter jets away from the Indian airspace. In the aerial combat that ensued IAF pilot Abhinandan shot down an F-16 PAF fighter jet. His MiG 21 Bison was also shot down. He ejected the aircraft but his parachute drifted towards Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, where he was arrested by the Pakistan Army. He

was released by Pakistan amid mounting international pressure to de-escalate tension between the two countries.

Abhinandan to be back flying

If found medically fit, Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman will go back to flying fighters and to his own unit of the Indian Air Force, currently based at Awantipora near Srinagar. On Saturday, there began a series of tests to examine his health. They include CT scans and Xrays to examine his spine besides toxicology tests of his blood to determine whether he had been injected with any serum by Pakistani military doctors. Tests commenced at a

top military health facility in the national capital. Results of the CT scans and X-rays will be known by Sunday while those of the toxicology tests will take a few days. “He will go back to flying and to his own unit, if found medically fit. Wait for the tests,” said a senior official. The spine of the pilot can get concussions on ejection from a fighter jet. The pilot seat ejects with a massive force. Pilots are trained in the process of ejection on simulators. In a conflict scenario and real fight situation like the one faced by Wing Commander Varthaman, years of training and mental agility of landing in enemy territory and surviving count. The toxicology test will examine if any longterm acting chemical or serum was injected into his body. Wing Commander Varthaman was treated at a Pakistan military facility and was reportedly injected with painkillers and other antibiotics to treat the injuries on his face that he had received after being beaten up by locals. The pilot had ejected some 7 km into the Pakistan occupied Kashmir and fired in the air in selfdefence before being overpowered by locals.

Modi to launch Kalashnikov unit in Amethi

New Delhi, Mar 2 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Amethi district in Uttar Pradesh on Sunday where he will unveil an IndoRussian ordnance factory that will produce the iconic Kalashnikov rifles, it was announced on Saturday. At Kauhar in Amethi district, the Prime Minister will open the Indo-Russia Rifles Pvt Ltd - a joint venture between India’s ordnance factory and a Russian firm - and also address a public gathering in Congress President Rahul Gandhi’s Lok Sabha seat. “The Indo-Russia Rifles Pvt Ltd is a milestone in India-Russia cooperation. The latest series of the iconic Kalashnikov rifles will be made in the Korwa Ordnance Factory,” an official statement said. “The joint venture will bolster the armed forces and strengthen the national security.” The factory will generate employment opportunities in Amethi and nearby areas and give tremendous boost to the Uttar Pradesh Defence Corridor project, it said. The Prime Minister will also unveil several development projects related to power generation, education, health and manufacturing sectors.

BJP leaders launch 3,500 bike rallies across India

Amit Shah rides pillion leading the bike rally in Madhya Pradesh’s Umaria on March 2.

NEW DELHI, MAR 2 (AGENCIES): Cranking up its campaign for the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP today launched a nationwide mega motorcycle rally in which it claims over a crore workers are taking part to reach out to people across the country. Party chief Amit Shah launched the rally in Madhya Pradesh’s Umaria, while Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman flagged off the rally in Delhi. BJP workers have been asked to share the achievements of the Narendra Modi government with voters during the rally. Dubbed ‘Vijay Sankalp’ rally, the BJP said that more than 3,500 locations have been chosen in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Bihar, Tamil Nadu,

Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and Kerala. Sources say, the party hopes to leave its footprint in every constituency across the country before the Lok Sabha polls, due by May. Addressing the bike rally, Amit Shah slammed the opposition for raising doubts over Tuesday’s air strike on a Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist training camp in Pakistan’s Balakot. “Polls should be held to make the country and its economy strong, to give Pakistan a befitting reply and not to fulfill the desires of ageing leaders and a family’s prince to become the prime minister,” Shah said, in an apparent dig at Congress chief Rahul Gandhi.

LS polls 2019: AAP declares candidates for Delhi

New Delhi, Mar 2 (AGENCIES): The Aam Aadmi Party has announced the names of its candidates for six of the seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi. The announcement was made by Delhi AAP convenor Gopal Rai, who also said that the party will not be entering into an alliance with the Congress. While Atishi Marlena has been nominated to contest from East Delhi, Guggan Singh will contest from Northwest Delhi. AAP political affairs committee member Raghav Chadha will contest from South Delhi, while Pankaj Gupta has been nominated to contest from the Chandni Chowk seat. Dilip Pandey and Brijesh Goyal will contest from Northeast Delhi and New Delhi seats respectively. The party has not yet decided who will contest from the West Delhi seat. Clearing the air regarding the possibility of a tie up with the Congress, Gopal Rai said that the AAP had received two communications from the Congress. He said that the Delhi Congress, led by Sheila Dikshit, had refused the tie-up yesterday. Rai said that the second communication was conveyed by Rahul Gandhi himself in the February 13 mahagathbandhan meeting “He himself in front of all other leaders had told AAP convener that party’s leadership is not in favour of alliance,” Rai said

Doval defamation case: court summons Jairam said there exists sufficient grounds to proceed against all the accused. The court was hearing a defamation case filed against Ramesh and others by Vivek in connection with an article titled “The D-Companies”, published on January 16. Vivek’s counsel D.P. Singh told the court the title of the article was itself “scandalous” and created “prejudice in the minds of readers against Vivek and his family”. Vivek, testifying as a complainant witness, had told the court earlier that

“D Company” is a term coined for Dawood Ibrahim, India’s most wanted criminal. The court said hough the article appears to be factual, the way it was presented damaged the complainant and his family’s reputation. The court also took note of Vivek’s statement where he showed how his credit was lowered by the article and Ramesh’s press conference where the Congress leader had referred to the article. “As far as the press conference is concerned, there are indirect imputa-

tions of money laundering, round tripping of demonetised money through the fund of the complainant. “It further relates it to demonetisation and tries to make out a case that the fund of the complainant may be involved in benefiting from the process of demonetisation,” the court noted, saying “this fact has been falsified by Vivek Doval in his evidence”. “These defamatory statements have been published and widely read,” the court noted.

NEW DELHI, MAR 2 (PTI): Gold prices fell by Rs 310 to Rs 33,770 per 10 grams at the bullion market Saturday due to tepid demand from local jewellers and weak global cues. Silver rates also drifted lower by Rs 730 to Rs 39,950 per kg due to reduced offtake by industrial units and coin makers. Traders said sentiment remained bearish on the back of a weak trend overseas as the dollar strengthened to a 10-week high against the yen, boosted by better-thanexpected US gross domestic data for the fourth quarter, making bullion less attractive as a safe-haven investment. Globally, spot gold fell 1.52 per cent to USD 1,293.90 an ounce and silver by 2.47 per cent to USD 15.29 an ounce in New York.

NEW DELHI, MAR 2 (PTI): The Reserve Bank has imposed a monetary penalty of Rs 3 crore on Union Bank, Rs 2 crore on Dena Bank, and Rs 1 crore each on IDBI and the SBI for non-compliance with various directions, regulatory filings said on Saturday. Union Bank said that the apex bank has imposed a penalty of Rs 30 million (Rs 3 crore) on it for delay in adherence to its directives on ‘Time bound implementation and strengthening of SWIFT related controls’ contained in the RBI circular of February 20, 2018. In a filing to the BSE, Dena Bank said the Reserve Bank has imposed a penalty of Rs 20 million on it for non-compliance with the directions issued on February 20, 2018.

Even as speculations are rife about Jet Airways’ founder Naresh Goyal’s plans to quit as Chairman to save a rescue plan for the passenger airline, he said the situation should ease by March 18. In a letter to the airline’s employees, he said: “I...personally appeal to each one of you for your continued support for just a little while longer so that we can cross the line together. Promising to keep the employees in the loop, he said, “when our CEO Vinay Dube and his team will ensure a fresh detailed update”, it will be shared “by the 18th of this month, by which time I am confident of the situation gently easing up in our favour.” In an emotional outreach, Goyal said: “The deep emotion this has evoked leads me to appeal to each of you from my heart, to bear with me through this difficult situation a little longer, till we emerge out of turbulence and fiscal challenges, into clear blue skies.”

Vistara has cancelled a basic interline agreement since Thursday as the airline felt that the agreement was being misused by Jet, causing commercial loss to Vistara. “Basically, an interline agreement has this loophole where the airlines only pays a pre-determined value to its partner airline. Vistara felt that its last remaining seats, which sell at high fare, was being booked by Jet Airways at the pre-agreed value which is much lower than current price of its tickets. For instance, a Delhi-Mumbai flight, which is selling at Rs 12,000 at the last moment, may be sold for Rs 4,000 by Jet Airways. That’s a commercial loss for Vistara,” said a source in the travel industry. Analysts justified Vistara’s decision saying that last minute fares have firmed up between metros and there is no point selling them at a pre fixed lower rate. More than 25 aircraft of Jet Airways has been grounded by lessors due to non-payment of lease rentals. The airline, which started the winter schedule with 103 planes, is now down to 83.

NEW DELHI/ MUMBAI, MAR 2 (AGENCIES/ IANS): Accommodating passengers from its cancelled flights has become harder for Jet Airways as at least two airlines have cancelled their ‘flight interruption manifest (FIM) agreement’ with the airline. This comes at a time when the cash-strapped airline is cancelling more than 100 flights daily due to grounding of its planes. An FIM is a document issued by an airline as a substitute ticket which allows a passenger to fly by another airline in case the original travel is disrupted by a schedule change, overbooking or cancellation. In return, the airline reimburses the amount to other carriers on a fortnightly basis at a pre-agreed rate. Sources aware of the development said Air India and Vistara have cancelled the agreement on Friday. “With immediate effect and till further notice, Jet Airways and JetLite Limited documents, including FIMs, are not to be accepted for travel on Air India flights,” said a notice issued by the airline’s commercial department.

However, the sale will be subject to final approval by the Competent Authority of the Bank,” the Central Bank said in its notice. The final bidding date of these assets is March 20. These properties are on sale through the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Securities Interest Act (SARFAESI), 2002, on without recourse basis based on an existing offer of firm bid from an investor, who will have the right to match the highest bid, it added.

US slaps new sanctions on Venezuela regime

WASHINGTON, MAR 2 (AFP): The United States and Russia clashed Friday over how to assist crisiswracked Venezuela, with Moscow pledging new relief channeled through President Nicolas Maduro and Washington slapping sanctions over the blocking of US aid it tried to push through the border. A day after Russia and China vetoed a US and European resolution at the UN Security Council that called for unimpeded aid deliveries, Washington said it was targeting six Venezuelan military officers for stopping last weekend’s US-led convoy. Four people were killed in the melee as Maduro’s forces prevented the 178 metric tonnes of rice, beans and other food from crossing into the country from Colombia. The leftist strongman says the aid is a pretext for a US-led invasion. “We are sanctioning members of Maduro’s security forces in response to the reprehensible violence, tragic deaths and unconscionable torching of food and medicine destined for sick and starving Venezuelans,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a statement. The six include Major General Richard Jesus Lo-

Cruel has been the world that snatched away your simple life; And left us grieving and bewildered. Time does not heal the pain we carry. In your death, we saw wisdom. What we now know in part, We pray shall be made known fully one day. For we trust in an omniscient God, Who transcends human limitations. And hears our cries and pleas.

Without you and dad the days have been harder, Our joys lesser and life sadder. But in God we shall find the strength to carry on, And one day be together again.

HANOI, MAR 2 (IANS): North Korean leader Kim Jong-un left Hanoi on Saturday for Pyongyang by train, after concluding a historic state visit to Vietnam, following his failed summit with US President Donald Trump earlier in the week. Before leaving for his country, he visited the mausoleum of Vietnamese national hero Ho Chi Minh, with whom his grandfather Kim Il-Sung met in Hanoi in 1964. That marked the last official visit by a North Korean leader to Vietnam, reports Efe news. After the short stop, he travelled by car to the Dong Dang station on the border with China and boarded a high-security train to return to his country. A crowd waving Vietnamese and North Korean flags had gathered at the gates of the railway station to bid farewell to the leader of North Korea. Kim Jong-un waved to the gathered crowd and boarded the train, flanked by his security personnel. On Friday, Hanoi hosted a grand dinner for Kim Jongun. Earlier in the day, he met Vietnamese President Nguyen Phu Trong. During the meeting, both leaders pledged to reinforce ties between the two countries that share historical and ideological affinities owing to the communist root of their regimes.

Depp slaps $50mn defamation Margot Robbie stuns as Harley Quinn Dragonforce’s song surpasses 100 Million YouTube views suit against ex-wife Amber T A M ctor Johnny Depp has sued actress and former wife Amber Heard for defamation, seeking $50 million. Depp’s lawyers filed the defamation suit against Heard on Friday over her December 18, 2018 op-ed in The Washington Post in which she characterised herself as a domestic abuse victim, reports people.com. Depp’s lawsuit calls Heard’s allegations of domestic violence against him a “hoax”. Heard “purported to write from the perspective of ‘a public figure representing domestic abuse’ and claimed that she ‘felt the full force of our culture’s wrath for women who speak out’ when she ‘spoke up against sexual violence’,” Depp’s lawyers state in the lawsuit. “The op-ed depended on the central premise that

Heard was a domestic abuse victim and that Depp perpetrated domestic violence against her. “Depp never abused Heard. Her allegations against him were false when they were made in 2016. They were part of an elaborate hoax to generate positive publicity for Heard and advance her career,” Depp’s lawyers say in the lawsuit. In response, Heard’s representative said: “This frivolous action is just the latest of Johnny Depp’s repeated efforts to silence

Amber Heard. She will not be silenced. Depp’s actions prove he is unable to accept the truth of his ongoing abusive behaviour. “But while he appears hell-bent on achieving self destruction, we will prevail in defeating this groundless lawsuit and ending the continued vile harassment of my client by Depp and his legal team.” Depp, 55, and Heard, 32, met on the set of 2011’s “The Rum Diary” and were married from February 2015 to May 2016. The actress filed for a domestic violence restraining order against Depp in May 2016 after she accused him of abusing her. Depp denied the claims, and the two settled their divorce out of court in August 2016 for $7 million, which she donated to charity. Both actors signed NDAs barring them from discussing their relationship publicly. (IANS)

Spielberg to express Netflix concerns at Oscars to Academy

L

be there. But I hope if this is true, that you’ll have filmmakers in the room or read statements from directors like me who feel differently,” DuVernay tweeted. Others on social media also criticized Spielberg’s latest initiative. Netflix had an impressive outing at the 91st Academy Awards, earning 15 nominations and taking home three trophies, all for Alfonso Cuarón’s Spanishlanguage drama “Roma,” which was Netflix’s first film to be nominated for Best Picture. Fellow Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese is set to make his debut on Netflix later this year with the release his next film “The Irishman,” which stars Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci and Harvey Keitel. (FoxNews)

welve years after the release of Dragonforce’s “Through The Fire And Flames”, the song’s music video reached a new milestone: It surpassed one hundred million views on YouTube — the band’s first music video to do so. According to Billboard, “Through The Fire And Flames”, the leadoff track from 2006’s “Inhuman Rampage” album, sparked a watershed moment in Dragonforce’s career. The song’s inclusion in the “Guitar Hero” video game catapulted the band’s international profile and inspired multitudes of gamers to try to keep up with guitarists Herman Li and Sam Totman’s lighting-fast riffs. In honor of its massive popularity, “Guitar Hero Live” included the song in its “Shred-A-Thon” on GHTV. “It was a great feeling to see our music was heard by so many people around the world, and people were completely freaking out over it,” Li recalled of when “Through The Fire And

Flames” was at the height of its popularity. “We definitely do not make threeminute long, commercial music. A seven-minute, fast, melodic metal song with long guitar solos and crazy retro video games sounds became totally cool. We were getting recognized everywhere we went, from Best Buy to airport security. A couple TSA officers once asked to see my fingers. They wanted to see the fingers that recorded ‘Through The Fire And Flames’!” “Inhuman Rampage” was officially certified gold in July 2017 by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) for

sales in excess of half a million copies. Dragonforce’s third album, “Inhuman Rampage” sold almost 10,000 copies in its first week of release to land at position No. 103 on the Billboard 200 chart. “Inhuman Rampage” was the second-to-last album to feature original Dragonforce frontman ZP Theart (now in SKID ROW), who exited the band in 2010 and was replaced by Marc Hudson. Dragonforce latest album, “Reaching Into Infinity”, was released in May 2017 via earMUSIC. (Blabbermouth)

PUBG bans users below 13 years in China

O

nline multi-player battle royale game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, popularly known as PUBG, has been imposed with a digital lock and now users under 13 years of age would have to ask their guardians to open the game for them. The ban has been put in place only in China as of now. “Tencent is continuing to double down on how it restricts younger players from accessing some of its games in China, this time with a digital lock system that will lock out players under the age of 13,” gamesindustrybiz.com reported late on Friday. Tencent has imposed the age restriction to support the Chinese government’s crackdown on gaming addiction among the youth. The gaming giant is using technologies like facial recognition and player ID checks to ascertain the ages and identities of those playing Honour of Kings and others in China. (IANS)

egendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg has been drawing backlash for actively campaigning to have Netflix-backed films removed from consideration at the Academy Awards. The “Jaws” director has long been outspoken about Netflix, which he claims has negatively affecting the theatrical experience. But since Netflix made a big splash at this year’s Oscars ceremony, Spielberg is taking his concerns to the Academy’s board of directors, a Spielberg spokesperson said this week. “Steven feels strongly about the difference between the streaming and theatrical situation,” the Amblin Entertainment rep said, according to Indiewire. “He’ll be happy if the others will join [his campaign] when that comes up [at the Academy Board of Governors meeting]. He will see what happens.” The 72-year-old Oscar-winner previous argued that Netflix should compete for Emmys in the television arena. However, Spielberg’s anti-Netflix push is getting pushback from his peers, including director Ava DuVernay, who earned her first Oscar nomination in 2017 for her Netflix documentary “13th.” “This is a Board of Governors meeting.

argot Robbie is ready for her closeup. The 28-yearold offered a glimpse of her new look as DC Comics villainess Harley Quinn as she filmed a scene of her upcoming “Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn).” According to Hollywood Pipeline, the Australian actress was spotted in character after she set a truck on fire, gleefully watching the vehicle go up in flames. Robbie had previously taken to Instagram to give fans a sneak peek of her role as Quinn, rocking a bold punk-meets-demented clown look. “Miss me? HQ” the star captioned the photo. The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the lengthy title of Robbie’s new film is the real deal and not the screen siren poking fun at Michael Keaton’s 2014 Oscar-winning movie “Birdman or (The Unexpected

Virtue of Ignorance).” Keaton, 67, originally starred as the dark knight in 1989’s “Batman” and 1992’s “Batman Returns.” Ro b b i e s t a r r e d a s Quinn in 2016’s “Suicide Squad” alongside Jared Leto as The Joker. She will be reprising Quinn in the femaleled “Birds of Prey,” which also stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Huntress, Jurnee Smollett-Bell as Black Canary, Ella Hay Basco as Cassandra Cain and Rosie Perez as Renee Montoya. Ewan McGregor will also make an appearance as villain Black Mask. “It’s not a very serious movie so we thought the title should reflect that,” Robbie clarified on the “Tonight Show,” as reported by Entertainment Weekly. “’Birds of Prey’ makes it sound really serious and that’s kind of like Harley adding her, ‘Don’t worry, I’m in this too!’” “I love a long title,” Robbie continued. “I actually said that when we were thinking of the title. You know what’s a great title? Did you ever see ‘The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out a Window and Disappeared?’ Long title, but I love it.” (FoxNews)

ISL: Northeast prove a point vs kerala I-League: Churchill beat Chennai

Ko c h i , M a rc h 2 (IANS): Ten-man NorthEast United FC stood firm and stayed resilient to play out a goalless draw and deny Kerala Blasters FC a chance to end their Indian Super League campaign with a win at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Wednesday. Having already secured a spot in the playoffs, NorthEast confirmed the fourth place in the standings with 29 points from 18 games and will now face Bengaluru FC in the semifinal. FC Goa will face Mumbai City FC in the other semifinal. Blasters ended their league season in the ninth spot with just two wins and 15 points after 18 matches. After a tentative first few minutes, a powerful shot from Courage Pekuson got Kerala going. Twelve minutes into the game, Matej Poplatnik

dribbled forward down the left and chipped the ball to Pekuson at the edge of the box. The Ghanaian midfielder chested it down before hitting a fine volley that flew inches wide. Kerala then pushed forward and threatened to take the lead. In the 21st minute, Seiminlen Doungel ran clear down the right and sent a dangerous cross into the box which was almost turned in by Slavisa Stojanovic. NorthEast coach Eelco Schattorie was forced to field a weakened side and his woes were compounded when centre-back Gurwinder Singh was sent off in the 23rd minute. Pekuson dashed forward on a counter-attack and fed Poplatnik with a through ball. The Slovenian striker was brought down on the edge of the box by Gurwinder, who happened to be NorthEasta’s last man in de-

fence, and promptly received the marching orders. Rowllin Borges slotted in at right-back as the visitors sat back and hoped to catch the hosts on the break. Pekuson went close again before the break as he shimmied away from Borges and cut in from the left flank but his low driven shot

Fatorda, March 2 (IANS): Churchill Brothers FC dampened Chennai City’s plan of securing their maiden I-League title with a dramatic 3-2 win over the

table toppers at the Tilak Maidan here on Friday. Chennai City drew the first blood in the 29th minute through Sandro R before Willis Plaza (38’)

restored parity for the hosts. The Red Machines took the lead through Christ Remi (50’) once again but it was Pedro Manzi (69’) who made no mistake in convert-

ing from the penalty spot. Their efforts were wasted as “Hero of the Match” Willis Plaza completed his brace (71’) to help his team secure victory.

ricocheted off the inside of the post. Doungel was sent clear on goal at the stroke of halftime but an excellent save by Pawan Kumar kept the scoreline unchanged. Despite the numerical disadvantage, NorthEast had the Blasters defence in a spot of bother early on after the break. Panagiotis Triadis crossed from the left and found Lalrempuia Fanai inside the box whose shot was kept out by a diving Dheeraj Singh. The forward latched on to the ball on the rebound but Anas Edathodika got in the way to make the block. Blasters found it easier to counter and used the space in behind the opposition’s defence. Pekuson darted forward and crossed for Seiminlen Doungel who chested it down for Stojanovic to shoot in the 58th minute. The effort was parried away bravely by the NorthEast custodian who kept the visitors in the match.

KXIP out to prove themselves in IPL 2019

New Delhi, March 2 (IANS): Having never won the Indian Premier League (IPL) title, Kings XI Punjab will aim to claim the title for the first time in the 2019 edition of the lucrative Twenty20 tournament. The 2018 squad of Kings XI Punjab included Indian and international stars like Ravichandran Ashwin, Yuvraj Singh, Lokesh Rahul, Aaron Finch and Chris Gayle. They have retained these stars for this year’s tournament as well. Perennial under-achievers in the IPL, KXIP entered the play-offs during the first edition in 2008 and the final in 2014. But three consecutive poor campaigns in 2015, 2016 and 2017 prompted the team owners to overhaul the entire squad, retaining only spinner Axar Patel. One of the areas where KXIP have made major changes is their opening and top order combinations. They now have a host of options in Chris Gayle, Lokesh Rahul, Aaron Finch, Karun Nair and Mayank Agarwal. They also have a strong middle-order comprising veteran star Yuvraj Singh, David Miller and all-rounder Marcus Stoinis.

Real Madrid coach praises U-23 cricket: Nagaland trash Mizoram Vinicius despite lack of goals

Vinicius Junior

Madrid, March 2 (IANS): Real Madrid’s Argentine head coach Santiago Solari has defended Brazilian forward Vinicius Junior against criticism over the player’s lack of goal scoring. The 18-year-old Vinicius has played well recently, so well in fact that his national team has called the young player up to compete against Panama on March 23 and the Czech Republic on March 26 in place of Neymar. Yet

despite the forward’s talent he has failed to do the most important thing any player can do; score goals, reports Efe news. “I like to look at the positive things that football players do. He has many positive things, such as his youth, freshness, directness, ability,” Solari said of Vinicius at a press conference on Friday. Since joining Madrid in 2018, Vinicius has put in a total of 26 appearances with the first team across all competitions and his play has made the Brazilian a headache for opposing coaches to plan against. “There are so many things in such a short space of time. Improving what can be improved is his work and that of those around him. But I look at all the good things,” the Argentine coach added.

First ODI: Ind beat Aus by 6 wickets

MS Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav starred for India in the run-chase.

HYDERABAD, MAR 2 : Mahendra Singh Dhoni took a chase deep for the umpteenth time but it needed Kedar Jadhav’s street smartness to get India back on winning track as they beat Australia by six wickets in the first ODI here Saturday. India reached the target in 48.2 overs, riding on a 141-run unconquered stand between Kedar (81 no, 87 balls) and Dhoni (59 no off 72 balls), to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.India had lost the two preceding T20 Inter-

nationals. Clad in their brand new jerseys, the successful chase of 237 was a throwback to the good old 90’s when Ajay Jadeja and Robin Singh would hunt down those sub 250 totals in exciting finishes. However, it shouldn’t be lost in isolation that India made a heavy weather of an easy target on a not so difficult wicket. As has been the case these days, Dhoni was once again unable to rotate the strike at the start of his innings and the onus was on

Kedar to hit the boundaries after they joined hands at 99 for four with skipper Virat Kohli (44, 45 balls) and his deputy Rohit Sharma (37, 66 balls) back in the hut. While Dhoni hit six fours and a six off Nathan Coulter-Nile, it was the diminutive Maharashtra man, who did the hard yards of finding the gaps. Brief scores: 240 for 4 (Jadhav 81*, Dhoni 59*, Kohli 44) beat Australia 236 for 7 (Khawaja 50, Maxwell 40, Carey 36, Kuldeep 2-46, Shami 2-44) by six wickets

1st Inter Coy duty Big question mark over ISL’s future Augsburg beat Dortmund in Bundesliga if I-League clubs are ignored: Bhutia cum sports meet held

Kolkata, March 2 (IANS): At a time when many I-League clubs are unclear about their future, former India captain Bhaichung Bhutia says there would also be a “big question mark” over the future of the Indian Super League (ISL) unless it accommodates clubs which have “history, passion and fanbase”. Bhutia also advocated introduction of a promotion-relegation system if the ISL wants to attract more eyeballs. “For ISL also, it’s very important that clubs like East Bengal and Mohun Bagan are there. It’s not just the future of I-League. The future of ISL is also in big doubt. There is a big question mark,” Bhutia told IANS in an interview. Eight I-League clubs, including East Bengal and Mohun Bagan, recently wrote to All India Football Federation (AIFF) president Praful Patel requesting a meeting to “seek answers” regarding the league’s future and complaining about “interference” of the apex body’s marketing partner Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL) in the sport’s decision making.

The letter said the ILeague teams also wish to discuss potential relegation to the second division in Indian football, with ISL “all set to be branded the top league of the country.” “I think until and unless you have teams like East Bengal and Mohun Bagan and some other teams as well who are very passionate, and have the kind of fan following you don’t have in the top league... then the excitement does not really come in. So the ISL also benefits bringing clubs from I-League up. Because ILeague clubs have history, passion and fan following,” said Bhutia, who had played for both East Bengal and Mohun Bagan. Asked about the ILeague’s lesser lights in

terms of bank balance like former champions Aizawl FC, holders Minerva Punjab FC and Chennai City FC, the last one now on the cusp of winning the title, Bhutia said the concern over paying the hefty franchise fee for ISL would be gone once there is a promotion-relegation system. “So it’s also important to bring relegation and promotion. If you go on promotion and relegation, you don’t have to pay franchise fee,” he said. Talking about tabletoppers Chennai’s dream run this season, Bhutia said it’s great to see a team from Tamil Nadu doing so well despite the state not having much of a footballing history. “I think in a way it’s wonderful that a team from South (India) is going to win, especially from Tamil Nadu, which is not known for being a football state. I think this inspiration is going to motivate lot of footballers there.” Bhutia also expressed his disappointment at East Bengal once again coming so close to winning their maiden crown but frittering away the advantage at the business end of the season.

South Korea striker Ji Dong-won netted twice against his former club Borussia Dortmund.

Augsburg (Germany), March 2 (IANS): German Bundesliga leader Borussia Dortmund succumbed 1-2 against Augsburg here, suffering only their second league defeat this season. S o u t h Ko r e a n J i Dong-won, who is now in his fifth season with Augsburg, opened the scoring at the Augsburg Arena here on Friday in the 24th minute by taking advantage of a slip while blocking his first shot by Dortmund defender Manuel Akanji, allowing the striker to have

another go and find the net, reports Efe news. The second goal for Augsburg also came from a weak Dortmund defence when Achraf Hakimi made a sloppy pass that was intercepted by Ji in the 67th minute, effectively sealing the win for the home side. Spaniard Paco Alcacer, who was not a starter for Dortmund but replaced an uninspiring Thomas Delaney in the 66th minute, was the author of the 2-1 nine minutes from the end when he finished off a great Mario Goetze pass and gave

new life to his team. Dortmund kept pushing, looking for a draw until the end and Goetze himself had a clear chance in the 87th minute, but Augsburg’s goalie Gregor Kobel, who had an outstanding day, denied him the goal. Kobel made over 10 saves during the match and showed some exceptional skills in the dying minutes of the game when Jacob Bruun Larsen, Alcacer and Goetze all piled up in front of his goal seeking an equaliser.
