The farmers’ organisations demanded that the MSP be increased to the cost of production plus 50 per cent and a complete loan waiver from the government. “We have been demanding that MSP be 1.5 times the entire cost of production including the cost of land. Though the government had declared it in their last budget there is no specifications and it is not going to help us,” said Shiv Kumar Kakka, a farmer leader from Madhya Pradesh. The organisations said by cost of production, they meant C2 and not A2+FL. A2 includes expenses, in cash and kind, incurred on seeds, fertilisers, chemicals, labour, fuel and irrigation, while A2+FL covers
actual costs plus value of unpaid family labour. C2 denotes A2+FL, along with costs for rentals and interest forgone on owned land and fixed capital assets, respectively.

The promises and slogans of Prime Minister Narendra Modi were all a farce and the government was doing nothing to help farmers, he said. “I can say that the Modi gover nment has done nothing for them, not even fulfilled the promises written in the BJP manifesto. Whatever he (Modi) is promising is all a farce,” Sinha said. The farmers also urged traders’ organisations to support their June 10 Bharat bandh.

NEW DELHI, Apr 30 (PTI): The Parliamentary Standing Committee on External Affairs, headed by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor and including Rahul Gandhi, will visit border areas in Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh next month to take stock of the situation following the Doklam crisis with China, sources said. The panel has been looking into various aspects of the India-China military standoff at Doklam and has been briefed several times on the issue by the former and current Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale. “The panel will visit the border areas in two states Sikkim and Arunachal
Pradesh to see the ground realities and take stock of the situation on border in these two states,” a source said. The idea is to get a firsthand experience of the situation on the India-China border in the two states and to see, or if possible visit, areas where incursions have happened, another source said. The panel, which may also use a chopper to get an aerial view, could also interact with top security and defense officials deployed there, sources said. Troops of India and China were locked in a 73-day standoff in Doklam in the Sikkim sector from June 16 last year after the Indian side stopped the building of a road in the
disputed tri-junction by the Chinese Army. Bhutan and China have a dispute over Doklam. Earlier, foreign ministry officials had informed the 31-member parliamentary panel that Bhutan was firmly with India on the issue. During the discussions, Congress president Gandhi questioned foreign ministry officials on China’s objective and why Beijing chose Doklam to create a confrontation, sources had said. Gandhi had also asked about reports of a major Chinese buildup near Doklam, to which officials replied that nothing had been done in Indian territory.

Deb had recently courted controversy when he said the Internet existed in the Mahabharata era. Last week, he had questioned the rationale behind Diana Hayden being crowned “Miss World” 21 years ago. Deb was all praise for Aishwarya Rai, who won the “Miss World” crown in 1994, saying she represented “Indian women”. Deb had also claimed that international beauty pageants were a farce.

Sena slams Modi for his silence during China visit
Mumbai, Apr 30 (PTI): The Shiv Sena today criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his justconcluded China visit, claiming it was a “casual” tour during which he avoided taking up crucial bilateral issues with President Xi Jinping in view of the next year’s general elections. The Uddhav Thackeray-led party claimed that Modi was trying to resolve pending issues with Beijing through “Panchsheel”, five principles of peaceful coexistence propounded by former prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru of whom he had been critical. The Sena sought to know what the RSS, the ideological mentor of Modi’s party the BJP, had to say about this stance. It said Modi had ‘chai pe charcha’ with the Chinese president during which he avoided discussing controversial issues in view of the general elections due next year. Issues related to Doklam, border incursions and the China-Pak-
Uddhav Thackeray istan Economic Corridor (CPEC), among others, were not taken up with the Chinese side, it said in an editorial in the party mouthpiece ‘Saamana’. “ P a n d i t N e h r u ’s friendship with China had backfired. Modi has never lost an opportunity to criticise Nehru. But it seems the current prime minister is trying to solve the issues with China through Nehru’s Panchsheel,” the Sena claimed. “Modi is backing Panchsheel but the thoughts behind it belonged to Nehru. Like Nehru, Modi is also convinced about ‘no to war, yes to peace’ (yuddha nako, buddha hawa) approach (to resolve pending
issues),” it maintained. The Sena said the Ministry of External Affairs had maintained that Modi’s two-day visit to China last week was without any agenda. “It means the country’s prime minister has got no work and hence, he casually toured China,” the Marathi daily claimed. The publication said China continued to support Pakistan which had been sponsoring terrorism in India. “China is a major supporter of Pakistan. Pakistan can create troubles for India only because of the active support it gets from China. “The world has isolated Pakistan because of its soft- pedalling on terrorism. Still, China has continued to provide aid to Pakistan with an aim to destabilise India,” it said. The editorial also mentioned about Beijing’s growing footprints in India’s neighbourhood. The Sena said Nepal, once the world’s only Hindu nation, had been
PMO should probe SC, ST marking on candidates: NCP
“almost taken over” by China and Kathmandu had started considering India as an adversary. The Communist giant was also trying to spread its influence”in India’s neighbouring countries such as the Maldives, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Myanmar, it said. “It has also augmented its forces near the border of Bhutan at Doklam (the site of a tense stand-off last year) and increased India’s headache, but none of these issues were discussed between the two countries,” the Sena said. The Doklam issue was not taken up to avoid any uncomfortable moment during the “informal summit” held in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, it said. The Sena said China has also undertaken construction near the border of Arunachal Pradesh. The site was used for incursion by Chinese soldiers into the north-eastern state, it said. “This issue was also not discussed between Modi and Xi,” rued the party.
Mumbai, Apr 30 (PTI): The Sharad Pawar-led NCP today asked the PMO to probe the marking of candidates’ chests with their caste categories during police recruitment in Madhya Pradesh and described the incident as “shameful”. “It is extremely shameful that during police recruitment in the BJPruled Madhya Pradesh, the candidates were marked as SC, OBC, ST on their chest,” NCP MP Supriya Sule tweeted. Describing the process as “insensitive”, Sule said this act deserved strong condemnation. “The PMO should probe the incident,” she said. Photos of the recruitment test showed aspirants for the post of police constables had their caste categories written on their bare chests in Dhar district. Photos in various newspapers showed aspirants with “SC” (Scheduled Caste), “ST” (Scheduled Tribe) and “G” (General) marked with sketch pens on their chests as they queued up for their medical examination, triggering a massive debate on social media.

Everyone from weaker section feels hassled, says Sareshwala Gandhinagar, Apr 30 (PTI): Maulana Azad National Urdu University Chancellor Zafar Sareshwala said today that he earlier thought only Muslims were “hassled” in the country, but has now come to believe that everyone from the weaker section of society felt the same way. The chancellor, believed to be close to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, said the “underprivileged”, irrespective of their religious affiliations, should be given an equal opportunity in education and as entrepreneurs. “Earlier, I used to think that only Muslims are hassled in this country, but now I know that every person from the weaker section is ‘pareshan’ (hassled),” Sareshwala said. He said the government should work for everybody and ensure that there is no discrimination against the people, “whether they belong to minority communities or are underprivileged”. “All of them (minorities and underprivileged) should be provided equal opportunities,” the varsity chancellor told reporters on the sidelines of an entrepreneurship workshop --Ta-
Zafar Sareshwala leem-o-Tarbiyat-- organised by ‘The Indus Entrepreneurs’ at IIT-Gandhinagar. Sareshwala said the workshop, mainly catering to Muslim students, many of them from madarsas, will provide a platform to them for the realisation of their dreams. “Governments have their schemes (for entrepreneurs). The problem is that most of our youths do not even know about these schemes. We have to coordinate and make them aware about these schemes. We need to give them a platform,” he said. “Hindus or Muslims... the poor are not aware (about these schemes). We are working to provide them some platform,” he said, adding that the definition of “privileged or underprivileged” is beyond any religion.
Chhattisgarh extends ban on CPI (Maoist) Raipur, Apr 30 (PTI): The Chhattisgarh government has extended the ban on the Communist Party of India (Maoist) and six of its front organisations for one more year, an official said today. He said that the ban, the notification for which was issued by the state’s Home department, has come into effect from April 12. The CPI (Maoist) was first banned, along with its affiliates, in the state in April 2006 under provisions of the Chhattisgarh Special Public Security Act-2005. The ban has been extended for a period of one year every year since then, he said. “The ban on the CPI (Maoist) and its six front organisations has been extended for one more year,” a government official said today. The official identified the six Maoist front organisations, on which bans have been extended, as Dandakaranya Adivasi Kisan Mazdoor Sangh, Krantikari Adivasi Mahila Sangh, Krantikari Adivasi Balak Sangh, Krantikari Kisan Committee, Mahila Mukti Manch and Janatana Sarkar.
Six held for Four youths arrested in Bihar for molesting girl Gujarat speaker calls Ambedkar, kidnapping, killing PM Modi ‘Brahmins’; faces flak of minor girl Ahmedabad, Apr 30 (PTI): Gujarat Assembly Speaker Rajendra Trivedi has described Dalit icon B R Ambedkar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi as “Brahmins”, claiming that any learned person could be called so. Dalit leader and Gujarat MLA Jignesh Mevani and the Opposition Congress have slammed Trivedi for his remarks. “I have no hesitation in saying that Ambedkar was also a Brahmin because his surname, a Brahmin surname, was given to him by his teacher, who was a Brahmin. “There is nothing wrong in calling a learned person a Brahmin and in that context, I would say that even (Prime Minister) Modiji (an OBC) is a Brahmin,” Trivedi had said, addressing the “Mega Brahmin Business Summit” at
Rajendra Trivedi Gandhinagar yesterday. Trivedi, a Brahmin, was elected as an MLA from Raopura in Vadodara district on a BJP ticket in last year’s Assembly polls. As his remarks triggered a controversy, Trivedi cited the Bhagavad Gita today and said he was against casteism and that his statements were taken out of context. “Lord Krishna has said in the Gita that caste should be based on the virtue one holds, not as per one’s birth.
Thus, anyone can be called a Brahmin by virtue of his knowledge. “My speech was taken out of context. Otherwise, I am totally against casteism,” he said when contacted. Objecting to Trivedi’s remarks, Mevani said the speaker was not authorised to issue a caste certificate to Ambedkar, who had fought his entire life against casteism. “This statement of Trivedi shows his uppercasteist mindset. What authority does he have to issue a certificate to Ambedkar, who had struggled all his life to eradicate casteism? “Ambedkar had never wished to be a Brahmin. He actually wanted to see a society free of castes,” the Independent MLA, who was elected to the Assembly with the Congress’ support last year, said.
Muzaffarpur, Apr 30 (PTI): Six people have been arrested by the CBI and sent to jail by a court here in connection with the kidnapping and killing of a 12-year-old girl, a CBI counsel said today. The accused, Shah Alam Shabbu, Vikrant Shukla, Brajesh Singh, Rajesh Kumar, Vimal Agrawal and Abhay Gupta, were arrested by the agency on Saturday night at its state headquarters in Patna where it had summoned them for interrogation, CBI pleader H A Khan said. The accused were yesterday produced before Special CBI Judge Amit Kumar Dixit at his residence who remanded them to 14 days’ judicial custody, he said. The girl had gone missing from her house in Jawaharlal Road here in September, 2012. She had been kidnapped after the accused cut the window grill of her room.
Patna, Apr 30 (PTI): Four youths, including a minor, were arrested in Bihar’s Jehanabad district in connection with the alleged molestation of a girl, after a video of the incident went viral on social media, a top police official said here today. Inspector General of Police, Patna Zone, N H Khan, told reporters here that the police had received information late on Saturday night about the horrifying video in which some youths were seen molesting the girl, believed to be a minor, who kept crying for help. “A motorcycle was spotted in the clip. Its number was noted down and with its help the police got the vital clue that the incident had taken place in Jehanabad,” he said. An FIR was lodged at Town Police Station of Jehanabad yesterday under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the POCSO Act by Additional

Stringent action will be given to Salipur rape accused: Patnaik Bhubaneswar, Apr 30 (PTI): Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik today assured stringent action against the accused in the rape case of a minor girl in Salipur, a day after the victim succumbed to injuries at a hospital in Cuttack. Patnaik expressed his grief and shock over the death of the Salepur rape victim while making a statement in the Assembly here. “I will see to it that stringent action is taken against the accused. Rs 5 lakh has been given to the next of the kin of the victim,” Patnaik said. The six-year-old girl was allegedly raped on the night of April 21 and the accused was arrested within 24 hours of this terrible incident, Patnaik said. The child was given the best medical attention by a team of doctors at SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack, the chief minister said. Unfortunately, she died last night, he said. “I would like to send my deepest condolence to the bereaved family and again I repeat, I feel deep anguish at this terrible incident,” Patnaik said. The victim, battling for life a week, breathed her last at the hospital yesterday, despite efforts by a 13-member team of doctors to save her. The girl was rescued in a critical condition from a street that led to a school under the jurisdiction of Salipur

Devils in disguise
t was another tea seller who rose to become among the most powerful man in India but from the confines of spiritual philosophy of a selfproclaimed godman who joined the list of several to the pages of infamy. The self-styled godman and 77-year old Asaram Bapu’s past finally caught up with him after he was handed a life sentence on April 25 for the sexual assault of a minor. Amidst a high-security hearing in Jodhpur High Court, Asaram who has been in jail since August 2013 was found guilty and convicted of raping a sixteen-year-old disciple from Uttar Pradesh, on her visit to one of his ashrams in Rajasthan. Despite multiple pleas for bail having been rejected following a large number of public protests demanding speedy justice for the victim, the 77-year-old Asaram still has a very huge following of fanatics and may likely appeal against the verdict in a higher court, even as he continues to be involved in another rape trial in Gujarat. The Asaram Bapu episode is not new in India as there have been numerous other godmen who have been accused or convicted of rape, murder and cheating. Asaram is a criminal under the garb of a spiritual guru. Asaram is reported to be presiding over an empire valued at approximately over Rs. 25,000 crore. Ashrams in India spring up like startups– one charismatic leader charms a group of followers and starts a sect. They provide what the government fails to provide– education, health care and most importantly – dignity for the lives of people who are marginalized. In a country without stable sociopolitical structures, there is enough room for smart and charismatic gurus to reap the benefits of millions waiting to be exploited. Many of these Ashrams are today multi-million spiritual empires with branches across the world. So many so-called godmen or spiritual gurus have been selling their philosophies to the gullible especially the rich and powerful and were successful in fleecing people. Not only fleecing people, these evil people in the garb of religion have committed heinous crimes on their followers. Stories of rape of innocent children like in the case with Asaram, physical abuse and murder are not uncommon. The most shocking is that some politician in power who look up to these criminals under religious garb and who are under their spell, have consistently prevented their arrests. The list of criminal godmen in India who enjoy immense political patronage is an aberration of religious sanctity which should open the eyes of the people and especially the intellectuals to put a stop to the practice of veneration of criminals. It is time to expose such frauds and deter conmen and criminals from exploiting religious sentiments. Such conmen, frauds and criminals abound in other religions too and it is not peculiar or confined within Hindu godmen and gurus. However, in India the strange syndrome is that politicians from across political parties like BJP and Congress, seem to believe that such godmen can assure them of votes and power. It is time that Indians boycott politicians who want to be seen with godmen and gurus or who visit religious places hoping to reap ‘supernatural blessings’ to come to power. The quid pro quo between politicians and godmen/gurus etc is bad for the people and for the sanctity of governance. There has to be a clear line drawn and if the Election Commission of India means business, it should draw a line between religion and politics.
DailyDevotion Spontaneous Love Love suffers long and is kind… —1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is not premeditated– it is spontaneous; that is, it bursts forth in extraordinary ways. There is nothing of precise certainty in Paul’s description of love. We cannot predetermine our thoughts and actions by saying, “Now I will never think any evil thoughts, and I will believe everything that Jesus would have me to believe.” No, the characteristic of love is spontaneity. We don’t deliberately set the statements of Jesus before us as our standard, but when His Spirit is having His way with us, we live according to His standard without even realizing it. And when we look back, we are amazed at how unconcerned we have been over our emotions, which is the very evidence that real spontaneous love was there. The nature of everything involved in the life of God in us is only discerned when we have been through it and it is in our past. The fountains from which love flows are in God, not in us. It is absurd to think that the love of God is naturally in our hearts, as a result of our own nature. His love is there only because it “has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit…” (Romans 5:5). If we try to prove to God how much we love Him, it is a sure sign that we really don’t love Him. The evidence of our love for Him is the absolute spontaneity of our love, which flows naturally from His nature within us. And when we look back, we will not be able to determine why we did certain things, but we can know that we did them according to the spontaneous nature of His love in us. The life of God exhibits itself in this spontaneous way because the fountains of His love are in the Holy Spirit.

W
hile frog populations are disappearing, we discover new species just in time to see what magical creatures we are losing. Nothing makes me more excited than when I learn of the strange and wondrous creatures that we have on this planet. What can you do if pellets from a shotgun stick in your chest, or you have a radio transmitter stuck in your side. They would have to be removed through surgery. But if you were a frog, your body would deal with it. They have the remarkable ability to pee out foreign objects, with their bladders engulfing the intrusions to help get rid of such junk. No other animal has ever used their bladder to eliminate foreign objects embedded in their bodies. Scientists implanted temperature-sensitive radio transmitters in Australian tree frogs to learn about their temperature-regulating abilities. Unexpectedly, after 25 to 193 days, when the investigators recaptured the amphibians to recover the transmitters, many of the devices were no longer in the body. They had somehow migrated to the bladder. To confirm these bizarre results, the researchers implanted small beads into the body cavities of five Australian green tree frogs and five cane toads . The beads made it to the bladders and were expelled within 19 days on average Frogs have soft bodies, and they leap about. Sticks, thorns and other foreign objects can enter their thin skins. Frog bladders can hold vast quantities of urine, sometimes even more than the body mass of the frog. Their bladders have evolved to help frogs take out the garbage.
“A
Horned frogs of South America can eat prey much larger than their own bodies, thanks to the strength of their tongues. When frogs catapult their tongues to catch a creature, the organ’s adhesive forces exceed the weight of the animals’ prey, and even the frog’s own body weight .Lizards, snakes, rodents, spiders, insects and other frogs are lifted off the ground and pulled into the mouth of the frog. The pulling force ranges from three to six times the frogs’ body weight and the operation takes less than 40 milliseconds. A frog’s tongue can snap back into its mouth within 15/100ths of a second. Thailand’s Mulu flying frog, who uses its webbed feet to glide from tree to tree, feeds on birds. The frog has a bright green skin at night which changes colour to become brown during the day. Its eyes change colour as well. Seeing birds on the backs of water buffaloes is common, but the ones in the wetlands of Turkey carry tiny frogs on their backs. The buffalo-riding amphibians — marsh frogs - forage on the buffaloes’ shaggy bodies and heads for flies. Tadpoles can regenerate their tails as late as 18 hours after amputation, even after a scar-like lesion has formed. This ability is lost as they turn into frogs. The red eyed tree frog shakes his rear violently when he sees another male. The shaking, which starts with the hind end and becomes a whole-body affair, sends vibrations along the frog’s plant perch until it reaches the opponent on the branch. The other male responds in kind. Both frogs shake at a frequency of 12 hertz or 12 times a second.
Nagaland Post, Dimapur TUESDAY, MAY 1, 2018
Frogs do not adapt The victor who gets the girl is the one who shakes longer. How does an Australian Green Tree frog get water in the desert when there is none? With an innate understanding of science. Frogs move from cool dry night air to warm burrows ‘fogging up’ like a pair of glasses. The droplets condense on their skin. They do this again and again. Their skin absorbs the water and they survive the dry weather. The male Grey tree frog sounds an advertisement call to females, providing females with information about his gender, species, age, health (phone number ??) and telling other males to stay away. A female will approach a male whose call she likes. When the male clambers on her back she carries him to a water-body to lay her eggs, which the male fertilizes as they are being laid. Throughout this process they are accompanied by a sly, small, silent, satellite male who tries to get between the pair with the hope of dislodging the chosen male – and sometimes succeeds! Males of the Indian dancing frogs, found in the Western Ghats, tap their hind feet and stretch one foot outward and shake it, both at prospective mates and rival males during the mating season. Their tadpoles live underground in sand in total darkness until
they emerge as froglets. A layer of skin covers the tadpoles’ eyes, to protect them from abrasions. They have no teeth, though their jaws are sheathed with a serrated, gate-like structure that acts as a filter, keeping out large sand grains. They have ribs, which is extremely rare in tadpoles, which help them swim in sand. They feed by vacuuming up bits of decaying organic matter, which they digest with the help of another unusual adaptation: tiny spherical bags in their guts hold calcium carbonate or limestone to scrunch the sediment. While all frogs produce a wide range of sounds, the Brazilian torrent frog, has the largest vocabulary. It combines sounds and gestures, like squealing, head bobbing and alternate-arm waving. The conversation goes on all year (except October!) intensifying during breeding season. Males walk peculiarly, jump, wag their toes, stretch their legs, lift their arms, wave, shake their hands, jerk their bodies, inflate their vocal sacs alternately. Courtship includes this : “Male frogs pushed off from the ground with their arms, to elevate the front parts of their bodies. They bobbed and wove their heads from side to side in snakelike figure-eight patterns. While sitting, they picked their feet up and showed their toes. Some of these displays were for courtship, some were warn-
ings to rival males and some were used for both. None had ever been observed in frogs before. The vocal playlist included peeps, squeals and a special courtship call made up of five notes. Males and females even shared special tactile signals, something else that was previously unknown in frog courtship. Males peeped courtship calls in response to a female’s touch.” Sounds just like human first love! The emerald eyed Taiwanese frog survives by eating its mother’s gooey unfertilized eggs. The Mount Iberia frog from Cuba currently holds the Guinness World Record for smallest frog at 10 millimetres long. But to make up for its size it is coated in poison. These dwarfs, downsized deliberately to prey on mites, are overlooked as meals by larger frogs. The mites possess alkaloids. By consuming them, the frogs reallocate their poisons for their own use. Gardiner’s frogs, from the Seychelles islands, lack a middle ear and eardrum to hear sounds but use their mouth cavities to pick up on noise and make their own. All frogs are known for their jumping skills. The Australian Rocket frog can leap over 50 times its own body length, 6.5 feet. The African frog is the best. It can jump 14 feet in a single bound. The Bornean flat-headed frog is the world’s only lungless frog. It breathes through its skin. Some South American frogs are so toxic that one drop of their skin secretions can kill a human. Poison frogs usually have bright colours to warn predators that their skin is toxic. Amazon horned frogs are ambush predators and
aggressively territorial. Some Amazon villagers wear high leather boots to repel frog attacks! Many frogs use their eyeballs to swallow. Once they have prey in their mouth, to help force it down their throat, they actually pull their eyeballs down to put more pressure on the food. The African Clawed Frog has three claws on each hind foot, which it uses to tear food. Then it uses its hands to shove food in its mouth and push down its throat. The common Surinam toad is one of the world’s most bizarre amphibians. The animal’s flattened shape makes it look like a pancake, and it spends its whole life in water. When the male and female mate, the female releases her eggs and the male catches and fertilizes them. The eggs embed in the spongy tissue of the female’s back, which grows over them. When the babies develop into froglets, they burst out of their mother’s back. The tiny fingernail size “mutable rain frog” of Ecuador’s Andes Mountains skips the tadpole stage and develops into a frog directly within its egg. It has a spiny skin texture which it can transform into smooth in minutes! Researchers also don’t yet know how the frog morphs its skin from smooth to spiny, and then back again. Frogs do not adapt. Air temperature, wind, soil erosion, humidity –any change contributes to their disappearance. As they go, the world’s insect population- specially the pests increase.

Post-mortem Admission awareness Collective responsibility: No time for fear
dmission in the right institution is the first step towards career planning”, India Northeast Tribal Community Welfare Society advises students to be careful and vigilant while looking for professional colleges outside the state as there are many professional colleges . One must be meticulous enough to check the recognition ,affiliation certificates of colleges before taking admission. As at the end of the day, it will be the loss of our student’s career and money if any college turns out to be without proper authentic documentation and approvals from competent authorities. This will lead to undue harassment of students not only to face financial and physical difficulties but also mental tensions. This is the season of such spurious activities for those who are waiting for their results and searching for their future colleges. In the quest for good colleges most students are victimized and exploited under the guise of free admission schemes , scholarships, vocational trainings, career opportunities etc. Students are advised not to go for free schemes , scholarships tests or exams conducted by some colleges/ universities/agencies or free visit to universities etc as such institutes are on the verge of closing down due to lack of students, so they resort to many different ways to admit students in order that their colleges and courses are not closed down and de-recognized. Under some such schemes students faced a lot of undue harassment as witnessed in the past years also. Degrees and certificates alone cannot help to secure a job but a degree with competence will help a student in the long run, and for that one must get into a recognized colleges/universities that has qualified faculties, well maintained libraries, labs etc. Naturally, good institutes gets their seats filled without any publicity and does not offer any education schemes or scholarship tests as they stand on their own reputation. However, if one possess the required percentage then there is no problem in getting admissions in reputed top colleges. Our society is the first organization in North East region to take the initiative of inspecting colleges in India as we have observed students facing a lot of problems during admission time and many have been duped in various admission cases. By visiting many Universities and colleges we have seen many good and recognized colleges ; while some are going to close down for lack of students ; others lack facilities like labs, libraries, qualified faculties etc. Some such colleges ,universities along with some agencies and organizations are flowing in with different types of admission process and trying to collaborate with some student bodies, government departments, schools, colleges, coaching centres etc
to admit students to their colleges and universities. So, we advised students to be careful as without knowing the real status of such college/universities, students can be duped to take admission just by showing their course/buildings. There are many cases in admissions outside the state for professional courses which is misused by some colleges, agencies, organizations with the help of some local people in the name of helping tribal students, so students should be careful during admission time and be aware as such activities will benefit the colleges only at the cost of students’ career. Every college/university claims that they are the best but it depends on the knowledge and wise decision of the students. We advise students and parents to authenticate any educational institutes and request them to be cautious and vigilant about any kinds of bogus activities , so that their career is not jeopardized by simply jumping at any attractive offers. They are asked to weigh the pros and cons before taking any further step, as their education and career is at stake. In some states even though students get through state JEE ,they opt out of govt. quotas, thus seats in most professional colleges remained vacant due to mushrooming up of many professional colleges especially engineering, agri and allied courses, so students need to be cautious while seeking admission. For those who wants to pursue MBBS,PG, BDS seats can be availed only through NEET exam . There is no need to book seats by making advance payments to any agencies or colleges as after qualifying NEET plenty of seats will be available. Parents are advised to let their children reside in college hostel; visit them from time to time; check their academic performances and attendance records , so that they can stay updated about the activities and gain first hand information of their wards . Some tips to find good colleges: check recognition/affiliation status; courses affiliation; faculties; libraries and labs.

E
very Human, as a Social Being, owes Responsibility to the Society he lives in. Part of this responsibility lies in looking out for the welfare of other members of our Society. This entails not only caring for the less fortunate among us, but also ensuring that the Customs and Laws which regulate the smooth running of Society are not broken. A Society that ceases to adhere to Laws and Regulations is a Society that has succumbed to Fear; fear of the Law-breakers amidst us. There was a time when the People of Nagaland, both Naga and Non-Naga, lived under the shadow of fear; fear of the Undergrounds and fear of the Indian Armed Forces. That was the time when the Nagaland Police was paralyzed; when playing cards or carom could get you a merciless beating from the Undergrounds; a routine frisking by the Armed Forces could turn ugly in an instant, if you happened to have anything even remotely considered suspicious; for instance, a magazine with an article on the N.S.C.N. That was the time when kidnappings, extortions and murder ran rampant in Nagaland. How did things descended to that level? The answer is simple, “It is because, we, as a Society, did not speak out against small infringements of our rights that the LawBreakers became emboldened to commit greater atrocities upon us.” Our attitude was, it did not affect us directly, it did not concern our village, it did not affect our tribe, and it was not our “Kitchen Matter.” Well, the reality is that it is “Everything is Our Kitchen
Matter.” You have your Personal Kitchen, your Family kitchen, your Village Kitchen and your Tribal Kitchen; but we have the Collective Kitchen called Nagaland. The Aroma or Stink from whatever you cook in your various Kitchens either Sweetens or Fouls up the air of Nagaland; so what you do in your Kitchen is your personal business, unless it happens to be Illegal, then it becomes everybody’s business. I bring this up in the context of the kidnapped tanker driver, Tula Ram Bura Gohain and his helper, Adman Surin; who were kidnapped in Tuensang District. The recent past has seen a rise in kidnappings; this trend must be stopped before it becomes a way of life, once again, in Nagaland. The responsibility for their safety lies, not in the hands of the Administration or Police alone; but in the hands of every Person Living in Nagaland. We are the Citizens of Nagaland and it is Our Collective Responsibility to ensure that Nagaland is not polluted in any way. Today, it’s two Non-Nagas in Tuensang; tomorrow, it could be a Naga from your District, your Tribe, your Village or your Family. The following steps must be taken:1. The Policy of our Underground Groups to accept all comers as recruits has led to them being viewed as a Refuge for all the Anti-Social Elements in Nagaland. Therefore, every Underground Group must either categorically claim or deny responsibility for this crime. Furthermore, they must ensure that none of their Cadres are acting independently in
the matter, if they are not to be suspect in this crime. 2. The E.N.P.O. must make assiduous inquiries of the Inhabitants in the Villages in and around the Area where the two were kidnapped. Every other Tribal Organisation must give their unstinted support to the E.N.P.O. in every way possible. 3. Every Person who hails from the Area of the Kidnapping must pressure those back home to help the Authorities in every way possible. 4. If the Authorities know of the involvement of any Organisation, it must be revealed so that the Public may bring Pressure to bear for the safe release of the two. 5. Until the whereabouts of Mr. Gohain and Mr. Surin are discovered, Petroleum Dealers and Transporters, across Nagaland must stop functioning. We enjoy the Collective Benefits of Nagaland so we must feel the Collective Pinch of wrongdoing; only then will we realize that our Collective Benefits means that we owe a Collective Responsibility to Nagaland and all those who live and pass through it. On a personal note, I have not fuelled my vehicle, nor do I intend to do so in the nearby Fuel Outlets in Assam, until this issue is resolved. This is not a time for fear or secrecy, but a time for every Person in Nagaland to do something to absolve the State of Nagaland from a cowardly, criminal act. God save Nagaland Kahuto Chishi Sumi, Akukau, Hevishe Village, Khaghaboto Range, (Kahuto107@gmail.com)
Reader’s Post Sir,
Basic public amenity
The same old power outage problems have started all over again. It is high time that good transformers are brought to district headquarters and electricity regulated properly. The moment there is strong wind or rain, for sure the power outage follows with the inevitable excuse that repair works are underway. For the citizens of Nagaland to have good power supply it depends on the department for good services. However, it mostly depends on the government and its effort to ensure that basic amenity that belongs to public is not denied at any cost. Limayangla Aier, Mokokchung

Omar slams BJP for promoting MLA ‘present’ at Kathua rally
Omar Abdullah
NEW DELHI, Apr 30 ( AG E N C I E S / I A N S ) : Former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir today questioned the state government’s stance on the Kathua rape after a BJP MLA, Rajiv Jasrotia, who had reportedly attended the pro-rapist rally in Kathua, was promoted as a cabinet minister. “Two BJP ministers removed in J&K for attending a pro-rapist rally and an MLA who is reported to have attended the same rally is promoted as a minister. Why are the BJP/
Mehbooba Mufti confused about where they stand on the Kathua rape?” National Conference leader Omar Abdullah tweeted. Following his promotion, Times Now questioned Jasrotia if he was rewarded for attending the rally organised by Hindu Ekta Manch. The newlyappointed minister said that he was never a part of the rally. The MLA from Kathua, Jasrotia, was today sworn in as a minister in the state’s PDP-BJP government led by Mehbooba
Mufti as part of BJP’s plan to reshuffle its party’s ministers in the state cabinet. On April 17, the saffron party had asked all its nine ministers in the PDP-BJP government in the state to submit their resignations so new faces could be brought in. Earlier this month, two BJP MLAs, BJP ministers Lal Singh and Chander Prakash Ganga, had tendered their resignation after nation-wide uproar over their presence in a rally organised in support of those accused in the rape and murder of an eightyear-old girl in Jammu’s Kathua. Today, BJP spokesperson Ram Madhav dismissed the allegations that the reshuffle is related to the Kathua incident. “The cabinet reshuffle has nothing to do with the Kathua incident. Our government has completed three years and we decided to give a chance to new faces,” he clarified.
Kathua is ‘small issue’, says new J&K Deputy CM
In an embarrassment to the ruling PDP-BJP alliance, Jammu and Kashmir’s new Deputy Chief Minister Kavinder Gupta said after being sworn in that the Kathua rape and murder was a “small issue”. Answering questions about his role in ensuring the stability of the ruling alliance, Gupta said the reshuffle of the council of ministers was in itself a proof of the seriousness which the coalition attaches to better governance. Asked whether the Kathua rape and murder incident had impacted the reshuffle, he said: “That was a small issue.” Both President Ram Nath Kovind and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have said that the rape and murder of an eight-year-old in Kathua has shaken the country and made everyone hang their heads in shame.

ex-CM grilled Protest march in Gurugram Impart right knowledge... NRIs from K’taka want Cong Goaby SIT in illegal to retain power, says Pitroda mining scam over FIR for stopping ‘namaz’
Muslim community members offer namaz as police personnel look on, in Gurugram on Friday.
Gurugram, Apr 30 (IANS): A protest march under the banner of the Sanyukt Hindu Sangharsh Samiti was taken out here on Monday to demand cancellation of an FIR against six youths on the charge of disrupting ‘namaz’ on government land. The protesters gathered at the Kamla Nehru Park and marched to the Mini Secretariat, where they handed over a memorandum to the Additional Deputy Commissioner for forwarding it to Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar. Six persons were arrested after an FIR was filed at the Sector 53 police station on Thursday evening for allegedly disrupting the
Muslim prayers at an open ground in Sector 53 and threatening those offering prayers. The FIR was registered against Arun, Manish, Deepak, Mohit, Ravinder and Monu on charges of hurting religious feelings, disturbing religious worship, and criminal intimidation under the Indian Penal Code on a complaint by Wajid Khan and Nehru Yuva Sangathan Welfare Society Chairman Hazid Shahzad Khan. Gurugram Police said the accused hailed from Wazirabad and Kanhai villages and did not owe allegiance to any right-wing group. Civil Judge Neetika Bharadwaj had on Sunday granted bail to the six accused on
technical grounds as police did not follow proper procedure before booking them. The court also took into consideration the fact that the authorities did not give permission for holding the prayers on government land. Former Gurugram Bar Association President Kulbhushan Bharadwaj, the counsel of the accused and who led the protesters, said: “People were conducting prayers on government land in front of a temple near Wazirabad without permission from authorities. Besides, police did not follow proper procedure for registering the FIR. Police also admitted in court that permission had not been given for conducting prayers.” “Effor ts have been made in the past to vitiate atmosphere by pro-Pakistan slogans after prayers. When some youths stopped them from doing so, police took one-sided action and sent six of them to jail. A large number of these Muslims are from Bangladesh and don’t possess proper identification documents.” said the memorandum submitted by the protesters.

Prof. Changkija said effective utilization of natural resources was of great aid in industrial development and they were the main biophysical asset for survival. He also went into the details of vegetation and its forest types, hot spot of Nagaland, floristic resources, different crops of Nagaland, medical plants, agricultural resource system, faunal resources of Northeast and Nagaland and others. Prof. Changkija said Nagaland has 231 crops cultivable in the state and had many rare animals and plants species found only in Nagaland.

Bengaluru, Apr 30 (IANS): The non-resident Indians (NRIs) hailing from Karnataka want the Congress to retain power as the party’s manifesto promises to make investing in the state “easy” for the diaspora, said Congress leader Sam Pitroda on Monday. “The NRIs from the state are coming together to ensure that the Congress wins the state elections because they believe in the party’s ideology. The
Congress government in the state has promised in its manifesto to ease the process of NRIs’ investments in the state,” he told reporters here. Pitroda, 75, a telecom expert, is the Chairman of the party’s Overseas Congress Department based in Chicago in the US. He was also the Advisor to former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. State capital Bengaluru, which is the country’s tech hub, will thrive in the policies that will be brought in by the Congress, he said. “As the world looks to India for innovative solutions, India looks to Karnataka and in turn Bengaluru.”
Panaji, Apr 30 (IANS): Former Chief Minister Digambar Kamat was on Monday questioned by the Goa Police Crime Branch’s Special Investigation Team in connection with the Rs 35,000 crore illegal mining scam. Kamat, one of the main accused in the scam, along with top bureaucrats and mining company magnates, was questioned for nearly two hours by investigating officials at the Crime Branch office near Panaji. While Kamat did not comment after the questioning, a Crime Branch spokesman said that he was quizzed about some of his decisions as the then Chief Minister and Mines Minister between 2007 and 2012.

New Delhi, Apr 30 (PTI): Gold prices fell by Rs 120 to Rs 32,200 per 10 gram at the bullion market Monday, tracking a weak trend overseas and muted demand from local jewellers. Silver also dropped by Rs 150 to Rs 40,300 per kg due to reduced offtake by industrial units and coin makers. Traders said a weak trend overseas as strength in dollar against some currencies eroded appeal of the precious metal as a safehaven investment and fading demand from local jewellers at the domestic spot markets pulled down gold prices. Globally, gold fell by 0.43 per cent to USD 1,316.90 an ounce and silver by 0.36 per cent to USD 16.40 an ounce in Singapore.

said, “If the level (of prices now) does not go up, there is no reason (for excise duty cut).” Every rupee cut in excise duty on petrol and diesel will result in a revenue loss of Rs 13,000 crore. Asked if there is any thinking of cutting excise duty or asking PSU oil firms to hold rates till elections in Karnataka, he said, “We have not seen anything (on it).” The central government levies Rs 19.48 a litre of excise duty on petrol and Rs 15.33 per litre on diesel. State sales tax or VAT vary from state to state. In Delhi, VAT on petrol is Rs
the highest since September 14, 2013, when rates had hit Rs 76.06. Diesel price at Rs 65.93 is the highest ever. India has the highest retail prices of petrol and diesel among South Asian nations as taxes account for half of the pump rates. The government had raised excise duty nine times between November 2014 and January 2016 to shore up finances as global oil prices fell, but then cut the tax just once in October last year by Rs 2 a litre. Subsequent to that excise duty reduction, the Centre had asked states to also lower VAT, but just four of them - Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh - reduced rates while others including BJP-ruled ones ignored the call. In all, duty on petrol rate was hiked by Rs 11.77 per litre and that on diesel by 13.47 a litre in those 15 months that helped government’s excise mop up more than double to Rs 2,42,000 crore in 2016-17 from Rs 99,000 crore in 2014-15.

15.84 and Rs 9.68 a litre on diesel. The gover nment is hoping that geopolitical tensions would ease and US shale oil would help ease oil prices that are near threeyear high. “Fundamental reasons, to my mind, don’t exist for oil prices to go up further from both demand and supply situation,” Garg said. The recent spurt may have been because of stock drawdowns, trade tensions and geopolitics around Syria and Korea. “I think demand-supply situation is also turning alright. I think those (geopolitical issues) are also getting out of the way. So I don’t expect prices to go up further and that’s why I said ideally it should come down,” he said. State-owned oil firms, which have been since June last year revising auto fuel prices daily, today kept petrol and diesel rates unchanged for the sixth day in a row.

NEW DELHI, Apr 30 (PTI): The government is not considering cutting excise duty on petrol and diesel yet as rates have not touched levels that could trigger such an action, said Economic Affairs Secretary Subhash Chandra Garg. State oil firms have not revised petrol and diesel price for almost a week now. This comes after the prices of petrol hit a 55-month high of Rs 74.63 a litre and diesel rates climbed to a record high of Rs 65.93. In an interview to PTI, Garg said oil prices can impact the government’s fiscal maths if they result in a spike in rates of domestic cooking gas (LPG) - the only commodity that is subsidised now. “Otherwise there is no direct subsidy any longer,” he said. “Indirect subsidy/ impact comes, if crude oil prices reach a certain level (and) there might by some rethink about excise duty etc. That’s not happened so far.” Without indicating the level of oil prices that could trigger an excise duty cut, he
Mumbai, Apr 30 (PTI): Engineering exporters’ apex body EEPC India today said India’s exports grew by 17 per cent to USD 76 billion in financial year 2017-18. The engineering exports, which account for over 25 per cent of the country’s total merchandise exports, grew to USD 76 billion against USD 65.23 billion in FY17 on the back of robust performance of the sector, the Engineering Export Promotion Council (EEPC) India said in a release. “The stellar performance of the sector is mainly attributed to the metal pack even as the US remained the top market for us,” EEPC India chairman Ravi Sehgal said. Iron and steel exports registered a 29.42 per cent growth during FY18 to USD 11.20 billion, from USD 8.66 billion in FY17. Products of iron and steel recorded growth in exports by 14.82 per cent to USD 6.76 billion during FY18, against USD 5.89 billion during FY17, according to the release.

LONDON , APR 3 0 (AGENCIES): Missile strikes on military sites in northern Syria overnight reportedly killed a number of pro-government fighters, including Iranians. The Syrian military said facilities in Hama and Aleppo provinces were struck. It did not say if there were any casualties. But a UK-based monitoring group said four Syrians and 22 foreigners, mostly Iranians, died. It is not known who was behind the attacks. Western nations and Israel have previously hit sites in
Syria. Earlier this month, the US, UK and France bombed three facilities they said were associated with the Syrian government’s alleged chemical weapons programme. Israel is alleged to have hit an airbase reportedly serving as an Iranian drone command centre and containing an advanced Iranian air defence system. Seven Iranians were among 14 military personnel killed in that attack. Israel has repeatedly vowed to stop Iran from strengthening its military presence in Syria, where it
has deployed hundreds of troops since the country’s civil war began in 2011 to help keep President Bashar al-Assad in power. Thousands of Shia Muslim militiamen armed, trained and financed by Iran - mostly from Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement, but also Iraq, Afghanistan and Yemen - have also fought alongside the Syrian army. A Syrian military source cited by the official Sana news agency said only that the sites targeted on Sunday night were “exposed… to a new aggression”.

Washington, Apr 30 (IANS): An oak tree sapling, planted by US President Donald Trump and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron has mysteriously vanished, the media reported. The sapling was a gift from the French President during his state visit last week, reports ABC News. The two heads planted the sapling on April 23 in the South Lawn. But now, less than a week later, photos show an off-colour, pale patch of turf where the sapling once stood. The White House did not immediately respond to ABC News’ request for comment. The sapling came from Belleau Wood in northeast France, where about 2,000 American soldiers died in a World War I battle. The disappearance of Macron’s gift has become an internet sensation with mounting speculation about the tree’s fate.

Lo n d o n, A p r 3 0 (IANS): British Prime Minister Theresa May on Monday named Sajid Javid, the son of a Pakistani bus driver, the new Home Secretary following Amber Rudd’s resignation for “inadvertently misleading” MPs over targets for removing illegal immigrants. Javid, whose family came to the UK in the 1960s, is currently Communities, Local Government and Housing Secretary, reports the BBC. He is also the first member of an ethnic minority to hold the position. The 48-year-old former investment banker and MP for Bromsgrove had also served as the Business and Culture Secretaries. “The Queen has been pleased to approve the appointment of the Sajid Javid MP as Secretary of State for the Home Department,” the Downing Street said. Rudd handed her resignation papers to May on Sunday night. Her exit followed weeks of revelations about the treatment of “Windrush generation” of Caribbean immigrants, who settled legally in post-war

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for that attack, which brought the total number of people killed across the country to 37. Journalists from Radio Free Europe and Afghan broadcasters Tolo News and 1TV, as well as others, were among those killed in Kabul, Reporters Without Borders said. “This tragedy reminds us of the danger that our teams continually face on the ground and the essential role journalists play for democracy,” said Fabrice Fries, CEO of AFP.

KUALA LUMPUR, Apr 30 (Agencies): A Danish man was jailed for a week in Malaysia Monday after pleading guilty to breaking a law against “fake news”, the first person to be punished under the controversial legislation, AFP reported. The law, passed in early April, makes the deliberate dissemination of false information punishable by up to six years in jail and a hefty fine. It has sparked outrage from rights groups who believe it is aimed at cracking down on dissent. Salah Salem Saleh Sulaiman, a 46-year-old of Yemeni descent, admitted making and posting on YouTube a video accusing emergency services of responding slowly after a Palestinian Hamas member was gunned down in Kuala Lumpur. Fadi al-Batsh, said to be a rocket-making expert, was on his way to dawn prayers on April 21 when he was assassinated by motorbikeriding gunmen, a killing his family have blamed on Israel’s spy agency.

It took home the trophy for Outstanding Drama Series as well as Outstanding Lead Actor (James Reynolds), Supporting Actor (Greg Vaughan), Directing and Writing. The winners were announced on Sunday night at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in California. “The Talk” won for Outstanding Talk Show/ Entertainment beating out Ellen DeGeneres, while the ladies of “The Real” won for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Hosts, reports deadline.com. Other winners for the evening included “Dr. Oz” winning for Outstanding Talk Show/Informative for a second year in a row as well as Steve Harvey, Wayne Brady, “The Price is Right”, “Good Morning America” and “Entertainment Tonight”.
During the ceremony, actress Deidre Hall honoured “Days of Our Lives” veterans and soap opera icons Bill Hayes and Susan Seaforth Hayes with the Lifetime Achievement Award. Mario Lopez, who co-hosted the ceremony with Sheryl Underwood said that it was “not a show about politics”. Even so, there was the
occasional mention of the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements and even Attorney Gloria Allred mentioned actor Bill Cosby’s guilty verdict when she came out on stage to present Outstanding Legal/ Courtroom Program to “Judge Mathis”. Besides that, the ceremony was lighter on the social and political front as it stuck to celebrating daytime television. Actress-singer Joely Fisher sang an In Memoriam tribute to the talent that people lost in the past year including singer-actress Della Reese, host Monty Hall, actress-singer Rose Marie and actor Jim Nabors, among others.

oo Fighters were joined on stage by John Travolta last night, with his arrival coming at the most appropriate of moments. As the rock giants performed in Jacksonville, Florida, they were joined by Travolta during a cover of ‘You’re The One That I Want’ from the Grease soundtrack. Footage recorded by fans sees Dave Grohl cryptically teasing that “it gets better” during the start of the performance , before the Hollywood icon makes his appearance on stage. His arrival prompts huge disbelief from fans, and he’s seen having a brief chat with Dave Grohl before he salutes the crowd
and dances off stage. “It’s too much! Thank you and good night”, Grohl remarks of Travolta’s appearance – before making his mock exit from the stage.

Earlier in the show, the Foos were joined by Billy Idol – who delivered an unexpected cover of John Lennon’s ‘Gimme Some Truth’.

BAKU, Apr 30 (Agencies): Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton has accused Ferrari title rival Sebastian Vettel of failing to play by the rules when leading behind the safety car in Sunday’s chaotic Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The Mercedes driver told reporters he would seek a clarification from race director Charlie Whiting ahead of the next race in Spain. Hamilton, who won in Baku and now leads Vettel by four points after four races, was on the receiving end of a famous “road rage” incident in Azerbaijan last
year when the roles were reversed. Then, the Briton was leading the German while the safety car was deployed and was accused of “brake testing”, with the two colliding and the Ferrari driver angrily pulling alongside to bang wheels. Vettel later apologised for his behaviour. “The rules are that when the safety car goes (in), you’re not allowed to start and stop, start and stop,” Hamilton said. “You’re not allowed to gas and then brake. You’re not allowed to fake the guy behind. “Because naturally if there was not that rule,

Lo n d o n, A p r 3 0 (Agencies): Mauricio Pochettino has said his longterm future at Tottenham is out of his hands and it is up to chairman Daniel Levy whether he signs a new contract. The Spurs boss raised eyebrows following his side’s FA Cup semi-final defeat by Manchester United last weekend when he suggested Tottenham needed more time to achieve success, “with me or another (manager)”. He has three years remaining on his current contract, but he was coy when asked about the prospect of committing to a new deal with the north London side. He said, “Am I going to sign? It’s a question for Daniel. I am not (Arsene) Wenger or (Sir Alex) Ferguson who decides about their own future. I decide only about the starting XI in this football club. That is up to Daniel, does he want to offer or not?” Tottenham’s defeat to United at Wembley was their eighth successive defeat in FA Cup semi-finals, but Pochettino believes they are becoming victims of their own success. He said, “The expectation always is massive. We are victims of our own success because we are ahead in our project. The easy thing to do is give up and say we need to change everything and blame this and that. No, keep going, pushing hard and with all the energy try again. That is the realistic project for Tottenham and it’s fantastic because we are different and we need to keep going.” K Y M C

“Our stance remains that the MoU signed between the two Boards in 2014 during the ICC meetings confirmed that both boards would play six bilateral series between 2015 and 2023,” the PCB chairman said. The BCCI has said the MoU is not a legally binding document and was conditional to Pakistan supporting the Big Three Governance system which has been dissolved now and that they had said they needed government clearance to play against Pakistan. Sethi made it clear that Pakistan had no objections to playing against India but first the ICC will have to decide the case.

The PCB has also filed a compensation case with the ICC, saying that the BCCI has not honoured an MoU signed in 2014. The ICC has said its Disputes Resolution Committee will arrive at a verdict on the compensation claim of around $70 million by Pakistan after a four-day meet in Dubai in October. Sethi has exuded confidence that Pakistan can win the compensation case as its legal team has prepared a strong case against the BCCI.

Pochettino coy on new Spurs deal
dismissed by South African fast bowler Lungi Ngidi, who recently rejoined the Chennai squad following the death of his father. The result saw Chennai leapfrog the Sunrisers Hyderabad to the top of the 2018 tournament’s eightteam standings, while the Daredevils remained firmly rooted to the bottom - and all but ruled out of contention for a play-off berth. Earlier, characteristic cameos from the hard-hitting Ambati Rayudu and Mahendra Singh Dhoni catapulted Chennai to a formidable final total of 211 for four. Chennai were buoyed by a superb century partnership between openers Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis, who collected 102 inside the opening 11 overs. Watson struck a brisk 78 from 40 to du Plessis’ complementary 33 from 33. The early departure of the left-handed Suresh Rai-
Melbourne, Apr 30 (IANS): Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland has hope that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will agree to play a daynight Test in Adelaide when the Virat Kohli-led side tours Down Under later this year. CA released its full summer international schedule on Monday but could not confirm it will continue its recent tradition of pink-ball Tests in the clash at the Adelaide Oval from December 6. The BCCI has been opposed to the day-night Test innovation started by Australia in 2015, which Sutherland hoped will change after the Indian board had recently indicated of playing one of the two West Indies Tests under lights at home in October. “It is our preference that we play India in a day/night Test match in Adelaide, but we are still working through this detail and hope to have an answer on this in the coming weeks,” said Sutherland was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au. India will begin their Australia tour with a threematch T20 series from November 21 to 25, and then play four Tests in Adelaide (December 6-10), Perth (December 14-18), Melbourne (December 26-30) and Sydney (January 3-7).

CSK go top after defeating DD
Pune, Apr 30 (Agencies): The Chennai Super Kings welcomed a convincing 13-run victory over the Delhi Daredevils in Monday’s high-scoring Indian Premier League fixture at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. Pursuing a staunch 212-run target, the Daredevils managed an insufficient 198 for five. Seamer debutant KM Asif, on debut after the in-form Deepak Chahar was sidelined by a hamstring injury, tolled early with the wickets of openers Prithvi Shaw and Colin Munro. Wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant fought hard with an unbeaten 79 from 45 deliveries, but severely lacked help. Allrounder Vijay Shankar, too, refused to go down without a fight - and struck West Indian Dwayne Bravo for three sixes in one over but also ran out of support. The steely Pant was

Messi hat-trick seals Barca’s 25th La Liga title If athletes face issues in receiving
Lionel Messi is congratulated by Barcelona team-mates after he scores a goal during their La Liga match against Deportivo La Coruna.
M a d r i d, A p r 3 0 (Agencies): Barcelona claimed their 25th La Liga title on Sunday as a Lionel Messi hat-trick secured a thrilling 4-2 victory at Deportivo La Coruna that wrapped up the league with four matches to spare. Er nesto Valverde’s men completed a league and cup double after thrashing Sevilla 5-0 in last week’s Copa del Rey final, regaining the Spanish crown from Real Madrid and relegating Deportivo in the process. Barca knew they just had to extend their record unbeaten streak to 41 La Liga matches to seal a seventh title in 10 seasons, and Philippe Coutinho fired them into an early lead. Messi’s 38th-minute
volley made it two, but Lucas Perez pulled one back for Deportivo before halftime and Turkish winger Emre Colak stunned Barca with an equaliser midway through the second period. B a r c a f i n a l ly s aw off their stubborn hosts, though, as Messi pounced after a brilliant one-two with Luis Suarez before slotting in to complete his 30th La Liga treble. The Catalan giants now hold an unassailable 11-point lead over secondplaced Atletico Madrid, who have just three games to play, and are closing in on becoming the first Spanish side to go through a topflight season without tasting defeat.

prisingly left on the bench after the midfield great announced earlier this week that he will leave the club at the end of the season. But it was his expected long-term successor Coutinho who broke the deadlock in the seventh minute, bending an exquisite finish into the top corner for his third La Liga goal for the club
since signing from Liverpool in January. Deportivo had to win to stave off relegation for another week, but Clarence Seedorf ’s men were denied an equaliser when Perez was flagged offside after tapping in from close range. Messi went close to doubling the advantage just before the half-hour mark,

Dimapur, Apr 30 (NPN): Zunheboto Battalion of Assam Rifles organised a friendly volleyball match at Longkhim on April 28.

only for home goalkeeper Ruben to pull off an excellent one-handed save to turn his free-kick around the post. Deportivo were causing Barca plenty of problems at the back, though, and centre-back Fabian Schaer should have levelled as he headed over when unmarked inside the sixyard box. But Messi drilled a curling Suarez cross past Ruben at the keeper’s near post to score his 30th league goal of the campaign, before on-loan Arsenal striker Perez swept home to halve the deficit just two minutes later. Despite the close scoreline, Barca were playing as if the second half was a pure title party, with centre-back Gerard Pique even performing a few ‘keepie uppies’ on the left wing. Their complacency cost them in the 64th minute, as Celso Borges unselfishly squared for Colak to score. Suddenly the champions-elect were desperately trying to hang onto their unbeaten record, as goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen made a smart stop from another Schaer header. But Barcelona showed their class as Suarez and Messi combined to terrific effect with eight minutes to play - the latter clipping the ball in off the post. Suarez again sent the Argentinian racing clear three minutes later, and the 30-year-old made no mistake to complete a hat-trick and a title-sealing victory.
funds, heads will roll: Rathore

NEW DELHI, Apr 30 (PTI): Sports Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore on Monday said he will not hesitate to sack his officials if they delay sanction of incentives for athletes but also warned against false accusations. Speaking at a felicitation function for the Commonwealth Games 2018 medal winners here, Rathore said there was no dearth of money in Indian sports but the funds must be used for justified purposes by both the athletes as well as the federations. "The officials in sports ministry and Sports Authority of India have been tasked to attend to your requirements and resolve your issues at the earliest. At any point in time if I hear that sportspersons are having issues in getting these incentives and funds there are few heads that will roll," the minister said. "But before you (athlete) make any accusation,
please be very sure that there was an error on our part and not on your part. There was this case that came to me, an athlete was complaining that he or she was not getting the incentive money. I was about to suspend one of my officers but later found out that the money was allotted to that athlete one year ago," he said. Rathore gave away the financial incentives to the medal winners in the presence of Indian Olympic Association (IOA) president Narinder Batra. Most of the top athletes, including MC Mary Kom, Sushil Kumar, Saina Nehwal, PV Sindhu, Mirabai Chanu, Neeraj Chopra, Manu Bhaker, Anish Bhanwala and Jitu Rai turned up. The individual gold winners received Rs 30 lakh each while the silver and bronze medallists got Rs 20 lakh and Rs 10 lakh respectively. All the medal winners of team events got varying amount of money in differ-
ent disciplines. Rathore also said that the functioning of the IOA and the National Sports Federations (NSF) has improved but the funds allocated to them by the ministry should be properly spent. "I am getting a very positive sense from Mr. Batra. He is already changing things within the IOA. The way IOA used to function that is not going to happen. Similarly, some of the NSF heads are brilliant and they are doing a very good job.” "There is no dearth of resources in India and we are ready to open our finances for the use of the athletes but these spending will have to be justified," Rathore, an Olympic silver medallist shooter, said. Earlier in the morning the, the medal winners interacted with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his official residence. They also interacted with President Ram Nath Kovind later in the day.
Nadal wins 11th Barcelona Open title Barcelona, Apr 30 (Agencies): Rafael Nadal continued his clay-court dominance by collecting a record-extending 11th title in Barcelona on Sunday. His 6-2 6-1 victory over Greek teenager Stefanos Tsitsipas enabled the Spaniard to hold onto his world No 1 ranking as he chalked up his 19th successive win on clay and he has now won 46 consecutive sets on the red dirt, extending his own record. The 31-year-old won his 11th Monte Carlo Masters last weekend while Sunday’s victory also reinforced his status as the overwhelming favourite to lift the French Open for the 11th time in June. His win on Sunday was greeted by ticker-tape and a video review of all his titles on the centre court in

Barcelona which now bears his name. “It’s really emotional to see that video. I never dreamed of having a career like this,” said the 16-time Grand Slam title winner. “Last year, they made a video of my 10 titles here. Now they have had to make another video for 11 - it
makes me feel like I am ageing. Thanks to everyone for making the tournament so special and thanks to my family who have been with me even when things have not been so smooth.” Tsitsipas, ranked 63rd, was the first Greek player to reach an ATP final since 1973 when Nicholas Kalog-
eropoulos made the final of the now defunct Des Moines Open. The 19-year-old was also the youngest player to reach the Barcelona final since Nadal did so in 2005 aged 18. But the youngster, who has enjoyed the best week of his fledgling career, was unable to trouble the clay-court master as Nadal bulldozed his way to another title in just 78 minutes. Tsitsipas, the second youngest player in the top 100 behind Canadian Denis Shapovalov, found success with a few of the flashy shots that have marked him out as one to watch in more than one sense. But he could not find the consistency to offer more than a fleeting challenge to Nadal, whose next goal will be the Madrid Masters, where he has only won five titles.
Pliskova Fellaini heads late winner as United beat Arsenal withdraws from
Fellaini scored the winning goal with a brilliant header in injury time to give United all three points vs Arsenal.
Lo n d o n, A p r 3 0 (Agencies): Marouane Fellaini’s injury-time header gave Manchester United a 2-1 win in Arsene Wenger’s last game at Old Trafford with Arsenal. Substitute Fellaini popped up in the 91st minute with a well-directed header from Ashley Young’s left-wing cross to give Jose Mourinho the points over rival Wenger, who hasn’t
won a league game at Old Trafford since 2006. Paul Pogba had given United the lead (16) from close range, but former United midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan levelled after the break (51) with a neatlyplaced low effort from the edge of the box. Arsenal nearly held on, but the result means United are guaranteed a topfour finish in the Premier
League, and need just four points from their last three games to secure second place. Arsenal are sixth, three points above seventhplaced Burnley with a game in hand, but the defeat confirms they cannot reach the top four, and will finish below north London rivals Tottenham for the second successive season. Wenger made seven changes ahead of the Eu-
ropa League semi-final second leg on Thursday at Atletico Madrid, giving Konstantinos Mavropanos his debut in defence. After Wenger was handed a gift by Sir Alex Ferguson before kick-off, United got back to business on the pitch and were ahead on 16 minutes through Pogba. Alexis Sanchez saw his header from point-blank range superbly diverted onto
the post by Hector Bellerin, but Pogba was on hand to poke into the empty net from three yards. In what was a competitive first half, Mkhitaryan came close to equalising against his former club moments after the opener, but dragged inches wide of the far post from 20 yards after Ainsley Maitland-Niles’ backheel. But after Romelu Lukaku was taken off injured after the break, Mkhitaryan made it second-time lucky, striking through the legs of Victor Lindelof and into the bottom corner from 20 yards. At the end of an uneventful second half, United thought they had won it when sub Marcus Rashford deflected the ball home from close range after Fellaini’s header had ricocheted off the post, but he was rightly flagged offside. United did win it moments later through Fellaini, who rose highest in the area to meet Young’s fine cross and loop a header into the far corner beyond the grasp of David Ospina.
