It therefore, urged upon the joint director to consider its representation to consider setting up of a branch office of CBI at Dimapur to act as deterrent so that public fund is not mis-utilized at will and take prompt action against the corrupt.

It said that apart from these privileges, the State comes under the purview of all other Acts of the Government of India, including the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 extending to whole of India, including Nagaland.

NPRAAF, however, alleged that on account of a wrong notion , that laws

enforced in other parts of India were not applicable in Nagaland, successive State governments had indulged in rampant corruption, siphoning funds received from Central government for welfare of the people leaving the State completely deplorable.

NPRAF said except making hue and cry through media, people are helpless when various scams were highlighted in the media in departments like law & justice, roads & bridges, irrigation & flood control, health, industries, food & civil supplies, NSMDC, rural development, education, police, finance, etc, involving several thousand crore of rupees.

NPRAAF pointed out that even Enforcement Directorate had recovered huge cash from the residence of former Addl SP MKR Pillai in Kerala in connection with swindling of police modernization fund.

It said that though the news was flashed across national media, nothing really happened as politicians and officials were hand in glove with the accused, it alleged.

its tally as it won the Willamnagar seat, the election to which was postponed following the death of one of the candidate.

Congress leader in Meghalaya and former Minister Deborah Marak had stated that party will take a call only after the by poll to Ampati constituency is over.

“At present the party leaders are busy with Ampati by polls. However, we are going to take a call after the polls are over,” said Marak.

Meghalaya’s Revenue Minister Kyrmen Shylla on Tuesday send a loud and clear message to the people of Ampati constituency that the coalition with NPP, United Democratic Party (UDP) and other partners will last full term.

“Don’t dare to even think of breaking our relationship with NPP and others. We will stand together and ensure progress and prosperity for Meghalaya”, said Shylla addressing election rallies at Murchapani and Garabokmangre under Ampati constituency.

Shylla said that under

the leadership of Conrad K. Sangma the people of Meghalaya has renewed their hope and aspirations and are looking forward that he will bring about positive change and development in the State.

“Meghalaya Democratic Alliance will stand united and together. All the regional parties have full support and faith in the leadership of Conrad K. Sangma. I assure that this relationship of the coalition will not just last five years but beyond,” asserted Shylla.

He said in the rally in Ampati that people were lucky to have a candidate like Clement G. Momin, who will be part of the new Government. “The agenda of our Government is to create a new Meghalaya and why should the people of Ampati be left behind,” Shylla added.

For the past one week, National People’s Party (NPP) and its partners are camping in Ampati constituency to woo the voters to unite with NPP and break the Congress in Ampati, a stronghold of Mukul Sangma.

Assam forest official arrested in sand-mining racket GUWAHATI, May 22 (Agencies): The Assam Police’s Bureau of Investigation (Economic Offences) has arrested a deputy ranger of Golaghat forest division for his alleged involvement in an illegal sand-mining racket in the Doigrung river area of Golaghat district, some 290 km from here.

The accused, Mukul Ali

Hazarika, was brought to the city on Monday.

Last year, the BIEO registered a case based on complaints alleging that top forest officials, in connivance with contractors, were running an illegal sand-mining racket in the Doigrung River. The officials were allegedly issuing fake challans to run the operation.

“Subsequently, a BIEO team conducted an inquiry and found out that sand depot owners, in collaboration with forest officials, were manipulating challan books to embezzle government royalty for personnel gains,” a source said.

The police wing believes that the arrest of Hazarika would be crucial to

unearth the role of top forest officials involved in the scam. “Hazarika claimed that he was only following the orders of his seniors.

Another top forest official is on the run since since April.

A hunt is on to nab him,” the source added.

The BIEO has prayed for five-day remand of Hazarika for further inter-

rogation.

Police said another forest department official, suspected to be one of the key racketeers in the case, is currently evading police action. Some of the accused are believed to be hiding in Nagaland.

Illegal sand mining in the rivers of the state poses a great threat to the ecology

and environmentalists of the region are demanding strong action agianst those involved in the racket. During the monsoon, when river flow becomes rash, the absence of sand beds triggers heavy erosion on the banks. Demand for sand has grown over the years because of a boom in the real estate sector.

Meghalaya observes World Honey Day

Correspondent

Shillong, May 22: World Honey Bee Day was observed on Tuesday here in Meghalaya with an aim to raise awareness about the importance of bees and other pollinators for humankind and to give an opportunity for entrepreneurs of the state to sell and display their product.

Agriculture Minister Banteidor Lyngdoh said that the state government is doing its best to uplift the economic conditions of farmers and, therefore, urged farmers to take up bee keeping.

In order to boost bee keeping activities in the State, Lyngdoh agreed to the need of constituting Meghalaya Honeybee Board.

He also lauded the office of the District Horticulture Officer, East Khasi Hills for drawing attention to the need to preserve and protect bees particularly as there is a growing threat to their population globally.

Additional Chief Secretary and Agriculture Production Commissioner, K N Kumar spoke at length about the importance of bees as pollinators and the threat posed to humankind

due to their dwindling population worldwide.

Citing the indiscriminate use of pesticides as one of the main reason for the decrease in bee population, Kumar said that the need of the hour is to ban the use of pesticides in the State.

He also said that introduction of foreign bee species like the Apis mellifera to boost honey production was detrimental to the survival of indigenous bee species and hence called for a proper survey to be carried out so as to ensure that the ecosystem of local species is not harmed.

Further, Kumnar also highlighted the need to establish the Meghalaya Agriculture Research Institute so that local issues can be effectively addressed.

In order to streamline and add value to beekeeping activities in the State, Kumar reiterated the need to establish the Meghalaya Honeybee Board.

During the programme, Bee Keeper T Lyngdoh and Bee Processor P Wahlang shared their experience with the gathering and encouraged fellow farmers to take up bee keeping proactively.

Body of kidnapped man found

Tura, May 22 (PTI): The body of a man, who was allegedly kidnapped by unidentified men from his house in West Garo Hills district on May 19, has been recovered from a spot about a kilometer from his residence, police said Tuesday. The incident occurred at Sakaboldakgre village under Dadenggre police limits in Meghalaya.

Some locals alleged that the victim was suspected of practising witchcraft, which may have led to personal enmity.

“We are looking at all angles and will know what happened after we receive the post mortem report. Prima facie, it seems to be a case of murder,” superintendent of police Dr MGR Kumar said.

An FIR lodged at the police station by two villagers on May 20 said that at around 10 pm on May 19, two people with their faces covered, had barged into the bedroom of the victim, identified as Nangseng Ch Marak (60), and dragged him out of his bed.

They also slapped the wife of the victim Wenem Sangma (56) before taking him to an undisclosed location.

The victim’s 20-year-old daughter was, however, left alone, the FIR said.

“After receiving the information, police teams launched an extensive search for the victim. We recovered a khukri, two blood-stained stones and a skull bone.

“There were also blood stains where the victim was dragged by his captors. The skull bone was recovered about a kilometre from the house near a river bank,” the SP said. The police and locals continued the search for the missing person before his body was recovered yesterday morning.

Beguiled by words

or obvious reasons, the Modi government kept oil prices in check in the run-up to the Karnataka assembly elections, but the prices shooting up after the polls does not mean their impact will not hit Modi’s future. State-owned oil companies chose not to increase fuel prices for 19 days leading to the elections Right after the elections were over, the Modi government unleashed its ‘achhe din’ when the tax-hit consumer was hit by hikes that left public numbed. There has been steady rise in prices of fuel since 2014 but there was no one to protest. The political parties went into hibernation after their disastrous and crushing defeat by the BJP. Even if it was unfair and unjustifiable, fuel prices did not fall from the 2013 level even though prices of crude came down from $113 per barrel to $50 per barrel then. Today the prices of petrol and diesel have reached the highest level in many years. In less than a year of Modi becoming the prime minister in May 2014, the price of the Indian basket of crude oil crashed from $113 per barrel to $50 by January 2015. That was a bonanza for a government struggling to manage fiscal deficit and planning large social-sector spending. Although the crude oil prices have risen to $70 per barrel as opposed to $113 per barrel in 2013-14, the petrol prices are at all-time high. In 2015 crude was $49.49 and in became cheaper in 2016 to $40.68 per barrel but the Modi government did not pass on the benefits to the consumers. It not only maintained the same price level as that in 2013-14 but gradually raised the price through the subsequent years. After the recent hikes, petrol prices in Delhi went up to Rs 74.08 per litre and diesel at a record high of Rs 65.31, the highest since 2013. In Kolkata, petrol retailed at Rs 76.78, while in Mumbai it retailed Rs 81.93 and Rs 76.85 in Chennai. Former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram has questioned the manner in which the BJP has been dealing with the fuel pricing. He said the BJP boasts that it is ruling 22 states and so asked why does the NDA government refuse to bring petroleum and petroleum products under GST?. It may be pertinent to point out that during the UPA-I and UPA-II though prices of crude was hovering above $113 per barrel, the price of both petrol and diesel were kept within Rs.70-mark.

The government had netted a very huge sum as revenue from excise tax. During the financial year 2016-2017, the government earned a whopping Rs 2.67 lakh crore revenue on account of several increases in indirect taxes (Excise, Customs and import duties) on such products. The Modi 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. Tax revenue to the central government rose 18% to Rs 17.1 lakh crore in the year ended 31 March, aided by steady growth in direct taxes and a sharp jump in excise and service tax receipts. The promises of ‘Achhe Din’ has been exposed as being applicable only to those holding power while the credulous and mesmerized Indian public still vainly hope that someday it will come true.

DailyDevotion The Explanation For Our Difficulties …that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us… —John 17:21 If you are going through a time of isolation, seemingly all alone, read John 17 . It will explain exactly why you are where you are— because Jesus has prayed that you “may be one” with the Father as He is. Are you helping God to answer that prayer, or do you have some other goal for your life? Since you became a disciple, you cannot be as independent as you used to be.

God reveals in John 17 that His purpose is not just to answer our prayers, but that through prayer we might come to discern His mind. Yet there is one prayer which God must answer, and that is the prayer of Jesus— “…that they may be one just as We are one…”

(John 17:22). Are we as close to Jesus Christ as that?

God is not concerned about our plans; He doesn’t ask, “Do you want to go through this loss of a loved one, this difficulty, or this defeat?” No, He allows these things for His own purpose. The things we are going through are either making us sweeter, better, and nobler men and women, or they are making us more critical and fault-finding, and more insistent on our own way. The things that happen either make us evil, or they make us more saintly, depending entirely on our relationship with God and its level of intimacy. If we will pray, regarding our own lives, “Your will be done” (Matthew 26:42), then we will be encouraged and comforted by John 17, knowing that our Father is working according to His own wisdom, accomplishing what is best. When we understand God’s purpose, we will not become small-minded and cynical. Jesus prayed nothing less for us than absolute oneness with Himself, just as He was one with the Father. Some of us are far from this oneness; yet God will not leave us alone until we are one with Him— because Jesus prayed, “…that they all may be one….”

Karnataka’s verdict loud and clear

actically the Congress has won the day even though the party has been rejected outright by the people of Karnataka which went to polls for the state legislature. In the process, the Congress has still managed to win 78 seats out of a possible 222 for which elections were conducted. The par ty high command went into a huddle and instantly decided to provide outside support to Janata Dal (Secular) which has secured mere 38 seats.

Eventually, the Congress avenged its defeat.

At the same time, it also turned the tables against the BJP which emerged the single largest party.

It’s unfortunate that despite 104 seats in its kitty, the BJP will not be able to form the government.

In the bargain, it is JD(S) under the leadership of former Prime Minister Deve Gowda which has got an unexpected bonanza.

However, one cannot deny the BJP’s success because of the popular verdict. Apparently, it is all because of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his party president

I

Amit Shah, who were instrumental in bringing together the two warring groups, one led by B.S. Yediyurappa and the other by B. Sriramulu, in the state. The RSS can also feel satisfied that it had its way in selecting the candidates.

This is the first time that the BJP, always associated with the north, crossed the Vindhyas to have a foothold in the south. This is bound to have an impact in Andhra Pradesh if and when it goes to polls, especially after chief minister N. Chandrababu Naidu decided to take on the BJP when the Centre refused to give a special status to the state.

Kerala has traditionally been a Communist stronghold while Tamil Nadu is still caught up with the two Dravidian parties, DMK and the AIADMK. Making inroads into the two states will be a difficult proposition for the BJP, but the party has already begun its spadework, keeping the future elections in mind. As for Telangana, chief minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao is fully entrenched now.

Yet, the overall scenario is not conducive to the belief of secular parties. The Congress has realized it more than anybody else. That also sums up the reason for the party’s high command sending two veterans Kuldip in Ghulam Nabi Azad and Ashok Gehlot to Bengaluru to offer the party’s support to H.D. Kumaraswamy to form the government.

In the process, the Congress was able to keep out the BJP from seat of power. The only possible hurdle in the entire plan, the outgoing chief minister Siddramaiah, was taken on board before the party offered the leadership position to Kumaraswamy. This was in contrast to what happened in Goa, Manipur and Meghalaya where BJP moved swiftly to form the governments with its quick planning. Perhaps, this was something even the BJP would not have dreamt.

At the time of writing, the ball was in the state governor’s court.

All depended on what he ultimately decides. As for the convention, the gover-

nor has to ask the single largest party to form the government and proves its majority on the floor of the house.

But the recent experience is not a happy one. The Congress had emerged as the single Nayar largest party both in Goa and Manipur. However, it was not invited to form the government.

I t i s b e yo n d a n y doubt that the JD(S) and the Congress coalition have a clear majority.

But it is only a post-poll arrangement which has no sanction.

Normally, the prepoll alliances between political parties are the safer options for governors to trust and ensure formation of a stable government than the post-poll alliance, like the one now between the JD(S) and the Congress. Indeed, this one is intended to stop the BJP from coming to power. Yet, the claims of the coalition over the number of MLAs, which will ultimately count, cannot be denied.

The S.R. Bommai judgment clearly enunciates that the strength

of the parties must be decided on the floor of the house and not at Raj Bhavan.

In the present context, the ideal way to go forward is to convene the assembly session as early as possible, appoint a protem speaker, administer oath to all the elected members, before asking both the contenders to prove their majority on the floor of the house.

Whoever wins the confidence vote is entitled to be the chief minister.

The Congress could have well averted a situation like this if only it had a tie-up with the JD(S) before the elections. Neither the Congress nor Siddaramaiah envisaged that in the last three decades, the people of Karnataka have never returned the party that was in power.

The anti-incumbency factor has caught up with the outgoing chief minister. His first four years of mis-governance came to be counted.

He could win in only one of the two constituencies he had contested speaks volumes about his popularity with the people.

As a result, the Con-

gress has lost yet another state from its grasp. It’s more than a coincidence that the party started losing ground ever since Rahul Gandhi has become the president.

The Congress has no option except to have a new face at the top. But who will replace him remains the question.

Ideally, Sonia Gandhi herself should re-occupy the office. The tag of being Italian is no longer there.

The other option is Priyanka Vadra if the choice is to be confined to the dynasty. There are other leaders available but the party is so much linked with the NehruGandhi dynasty that no other person qualifies.

The tragedy is that the people of India have moved away from the dynasty, but it has not from its thinking.

The Karnataka election will certainly have repercussions for the future of Indian politics. Even though Prime Minister Modi has emerged as the country’s most popular politician, he or, for that matter, the BJP cannot be absolutely sure of its prospects in 2019.

Post-mortem Why Go Anywhere Else?

‘Is Business Crime or Crime is the Business’

One thing I was sure of under the National Assessment and though was that I didn’t want to Accreditation Council (NAAC) and continue my studies in Nagaland. we have a lot of qualified people to Studying out of Nagaland seemed teach our students as compared to to hold so much glamour and I felt the past.

It needs all my studies. Without a doubt, many good institutes starting from I had a fantastic experience and schools, to colleges and universiexposure in studying and working ties. It would also need a city and beyond our state. And I am sure state that is attractive enough to there are many more who will be excite people into visiting and following my restless footsteps in coming here and maybe even pursuit of a degree, career or maybe calling Nagaland home. It isn’t just about the students, Nagaland just for fun.

That being said, it would be Today, do we still need to go out of Nagaland to get quality wonderful to have students from all education? There are both pros and over the country and even abroad cons for this. On the one hand, there coming to Nagaland because of is fantastic infrastructure, meeting the quality of our education and top students of other states and an the quality of life our state has to experience and exposure of a new offer. Then, maybe instead of going location and way of life.

urvival of the fittest is the norm since time immemorial and big fish eats small fish is also the way an ecosystem works but seldom one cuts one’s own feet while striving to rise high. Sadly that’s what has been happening to the Nagaland commerce by it’s own people. On one hand our small business community is toiling hard to bring our state on the economic map vis a vis other Indian states but are marred by corruption, extortion and now increased threats and high handedness of the various anti social elements and groups.

The helplessness of traders in Nagaland is visible in the latest appeal by the DCCI President who condemned the uncountable and uncontrolled illegal taxation spree by the various nationalist groups. Business community ends up paying ten to fifteen different types of taxes on every item which includes yearly tax, agency tax, gate tax, transport tax dealership, item wise tax and syndicates fees etc. the cry of business community is valid since nowhere in the world such multiple taxation by multiple agencies is in vogue.

These incidents of collection of taxes from the entrepreneurs and attack on traders

creates a sense of anxiety and fear amongst the peace loving traders who are helping the people to meet their aspirations and logistic needs. Earlier in this march the assassination bid on traders was appalling and barbaric. Shooting of woman

forthcoming to adapt to changes in technology for development but that’s not the key to thriving until we as a state and its citizens are not able to reap dividends of the commerce for further investments and future gains. Sadly that would not be possible till we keep paying unabated taxes to the various groups.

It’s high time the common man join hands of the communities voicing against the menace of illegal taxation.

The business community has suffered for long and has come to the brink of revolt not only to sustain them but also to save future of Nagaland’s economy, growth and development. The business community is evidently insecure since all kinds of business have become unsustainable except the business of illegal tax collection. We must realize that it’s not only the business community but also the common masses who are peeved and become totally insecure and overburdened with such illegal taxation with threat & intimidation. May the sanity prevail among the state and its people to shun the illegal practices and atrocities upon us!

Amen !!

“Let’s become tax free” trader, a widow and elderly mother of two children who runs a small tea and puri stall for the living, needed to be condemned by all. It’s to extreme dismay that even a widow was not spared from the hands of anti-social elements.

These attacks especially on the business community, has a ripple effect and it is the public who eventually pays for the consequences. It is unacceptable that people feel unsafe in their own homes, workplace and locality at this day and age when we are brokering for peace.

It takes me to my first statement whether the issue is of thriving or surviving and I ponder whose survival? For ages we have been an egalitarian society which has been a thing of the past and present age demands business, modernization and development. Business has emerged in our state and we are

Maha Maoists case: 8 innocent villagers killed

Bodies of Maoists, who were killed by security forces, being taken for postmortem at Gadchiroli in Maharashtra.

Gadchiroli, May 22 (IANS): Residents of a village in this Maoist-affected Maharashtra district on Tuesday alleged that at least eight innocent youth, including five girls, may have been felled by police bullets in the country’s biggest antiMaoist operation here last month.

The villagers of Gattepalli have demanded a judicial probe into the April 22-23 operation and action against the commandos of the crack unit C-60 who had

carried out the twin security operation killing 40 Maoists in the forests of Kasnasur.

In a memorandum to the Gadchiroli Collector, the villagers have said that the eight youth - aged between 15-25 - were among who had left Gattepalli for Kasnasur on April 21 to attend the wedding of Somu Rainu Madavi. While two of them - Gonglu Muka Gawde and Tulsi Chaitu Gawde - returned on Sunday (April 22), the remaining eight did not come back

from the wedding festivities in Kasnasur, around 25 km from Gattepalli.

The following day (April 23), the families made frantic enquiries and even visited Kasnasur for their missing kin, but failed to trace them out. The next day, on April 24, the distraught families finally lodged missing complaints with the local police, who took the families to various morgues where the bodies of the slain 40 Maoists were kept prior to identification

branch office at Dimapur as the special judge CBI court functions from the town. It also stressed on the importance of having an experienced local advocate with immaculate track record in the profession to be special counsel of CBI to tackle all high-profile cases and convict those guilty of offences committed without any fear or favour.

Assuring CBI of its assistance to unearth all forms of corruption that have plagued the State for decades without any compunction, NPRAAF said its demand reflected the aspiration of the people of Nagaland to ensure rule of law.

It also assured to provide all necessary assistance to set up a CBI office at Dimapur – from indentifying suitable land to donating a land, if necessary.

The onerous task of protecting Amur Falcon was largely on account of awareness brought upon the villagers by Lemsachenlok since 2008. This awareness has created a rare commitment to contribute to the global world among the village community.

Vilolage volunteers would work untiringly without any outside support and carry their own tiffin while giving asylum to many endangered species. In this way, many Amur Falcons could be tagged with satellite transmitters. Though most transmitters had been deactivated, yet the one tagged in 2016 for the Falcon named ‘Longleng’ continues to be the only one active and also called as ‘Queen of Nagaland’ by most scientists. ‘Longleng’ is presently in China and returning to Siberia, the breeding destination.

Heavy rains to lash Nagaland (From p-1) continue till the onset of monsoon, which is most likely by May 28, 2018. Heavy to very rains were likely to lash Nagaland from May 26 onwards.

“This would be the first heavy spell of the season in Nagaland. With this, threat of landslides, road blockages and some floods looms large over the state,” NSDMA stated.

Further, as per NSDMA weather analysis, these showers could be considered as the precursor to the monsoon and some heavy showers were likely across Nagaland before the arrival of the four-month long season of the monsoon 2018.

Intensity of rains would be more over Northern parts of the state such as Longleng, Tizit and Mon. Meanwhile, other districts such as Kiphire, Wokha (Bhandari), Mokokchung, Tuensang, Peren, Dimapur, Kohima, Phek and Zunheboto could experience some very heavy spells.

In this regard, the NSDMA has advised the public to take precautionary measures during this period.

Pienyii, strongly attacked NPF president’s remark “choose between Hindu and Christian” candidate during the NPF by-election campaign at Ura Academy hall recently.

Pienyii said such statement violated the election code of conduct, adding it was a sign of frustration and desperation by the opposition party. He said electing PDA candidate would strengthen the present state ruling government to bring more development.

Ex-NDPP candidate of 10 Northern Angami -1 Dr. Kekhrie Yhome, Neivikuolie Khatsii and others also addressed the gathering.

said that after the severing ties between NPF and BJP, the former started “backbiting and attacking” the PDA alliance as a communal and anti-Christian alliance in the state. In a press release, BJP Nagaland media cell said he rejected the NPF charges made during the previous rally in Jalukie and substantiated it by saying that Nagas would never compromise with one’s faith.

“NPF hypocrisy started the moment the PDA alliance cemented,” he said. Nchang said Tokheho was chosen by the alliance partners because of his vast political experience, who rose up from the grassroots level. To address the Naga political solution, he said Tokheho would serve better than someone from the opposition bench.

In his speech, adviser NDPP, Neiba Ndang, said opposition’s main poll plank this by-election seemed to be targeting only Neiphiu Rio and forgetting other campaign agendas. On NPF’s criticism against PDA government for nominating party functionaries in various capacities, he said NPF has forgotten that during

He said that like all parties BJP was also a political party recognised by ECI. He said priority of BJP was to bring development irrespective of tribe, class, creed or religion.

He appealed to the people of Peren district to support the PDA consensus candidate. The meeting was chaired by Iherie Ndang, Ex Candidate NDPP-17 Peren and invocation was given

NPRAAF further alleged that even Rs 365crore given to the State as a one-time grant by then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee as “peace bonus” after converting it from “ways-and-means” loan as announced on June 8, 2003 to take forward the peace process has been siphoned off. It said that the grant was made so that Nagaland could devote its efforts to schemes and policies aimed at poverty alleviation and balanced economic development, besides saving an annual interest of Rs 44 crore of the State, it added.

However, NPRAAF said the entire amount was siphoned off and nothing was done on the ground.

It demanded that the scam ought to be unearthed and culprits put behind bars.

NPRAAF further pointed out that though CBI has been probing graft cases in Nagaland for quite some time now, the outcome has been dismal due to absence of CBI special courts across the State. NPRAAF said courts that were spread all over the State were amalgamated into one special judge court at Dimapur in 2003-2004 for the convenience of the special judge who could not travel across the State to adjudicate cases, after which there was not much progress of the CBI cases.

It said the situation became worse after the lone local CBI special counsel relinquished the post in 2007 and a CBI special counsel from Imphal was assigned for CBI cases in Nagaland.

NPRAAF said in consideration of the matter, it was imperative to have a

and handing over to their families.

The villagers said from among the killed Maoists, they identified one body of Buji Karve Usandi - as one of the missing youth from the clothes he had worn when had gone for the wedding. Thereafter, the villagers - at least 40 who have signed the memorandum - accused police of not permitting them to check out the other bodies for their missing relatives despite repeated pleas.

However, as the matter threatened to snowball into a controversy, on April 27, the authorities ordered a DNA test to match the bodies with the family members who had lodged the complaint. The DNA reports have not come so far, the villagers said.

“We feel our youth have been killed in the police firing on Maoists in the forests that day (April 22).

They had all left together for the wedding in Kasnasur and even Usandi (whose body was identified in a morgue) was travelling with them,” the villagers said in their memorandum.

The rupee, which has fallen to 16-month low of 67.97 against the US dollar, is also playing a role in high oil bill, he said.

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 varies from state to state. Unlike excise duty, VAT is ad valorem and results in higher revenues for the state when rates move up.

In Delhi, VAT on petrol was Rs 15.84 a litre, and Rs 9.68 on diesel in April.

Today it is Rs 16.34 on petrol and Rs 10.02 a litre on diesel.

Every rupee cut in excise duty on petrol and diesel will result in a revenue loss of Rs 13,000 crore.

steps under consideration, the official said the government has to be mindful of its fiscal maths while dealing with the option of cutting excise duty.

“We cannot rely on excise duty cut alone, although I am not ruling out a possibility of cutting excise duty. We have to be mindful of any fiscal impact of any excise cut on fuel,” the official said.

Both the Centre and states, whose VAT makes up for 20-35 per cent of the retail cost and have gained from the rising oil prices, need to take measures, he said.

“Some steps to deal with rising oil prices are likely to come this week,” he added.

New Delhi, May 22 (PTI): Facing “crisis situation” created by rising fuel prices, the government is likely to come out with “some steps” this week to deal with record high petrol and diesel rates, a senior official said Tuesday.

The government may not rely only on cutting excise duty, which makes up for a fourth of the retail selling price, the official said but did not elaborate.

“Rising fuel price is a crisis situation for government and it has to be handled with combination of steps. Finance ministry is consulting the petroleum ministry on rising crude prices,” he said.

More than a week after the state-owned oil firms ended a 19-day pre-Karnataka poll hiatus on revising fuel prices, petrol and diesel rates have touched record highs. Petrol costs Rs 76.87 per litre in Delhi and diesel costs Rs 68.08 a litre. In last nine days, petrol price has risen by Rs 2.24 a litre and diesel by Rs 2.15.

Rates vary from state to state depending on the incidence of local sales tax or VAT. The prices in Delhi are the cheapest among all metros and most state capitals.

Ex-Malaysian PM Najib Chinese official media slams report on mining near India border questioned in graft probe

Beijing, May 22 (PTI): Slamming a report about large-scale mining by China at the Arunachal Pradesh border, official Chinese media here Tuesday questioned the report’s motive while hoping that India would not be “provoked” by it and blight the progress achieved at last month’s Wuhan summit.

by this report, lose focus on the big picture of the relationship between Beijing and New Delhi and get off the track of Sino-Indian cooperation”, the Global Times tabloid daily, known for its abrasive commentaries against India, said in an editorial today.

The editorial titled, ‘Dodgy report disturbs SinoIndian ties’ said, “the report poked a sensitive spot in Sino-Indian ties but severely lacked factual evidence”.

It also said the Chinese expert quoted by the Post told the Global Times that he did not mention the South China Sea at all in his comments.

Terming the report as “coarse”, the editorial said it “attracted widespread attention from Indian media on Sunday. Since the paper quoted people familiar with the project as describing China’s move as a part of an ambitious plan by Bei-

jing to reclaim South Tibet, relevant news stories from Indian media were full of vigilance,” it said.

“But to many Chinese people, their first impression is that the report is not credible, given the vague facts, the geopolitical point quoted by a geologist and the denial by the expert”, it said and questioned the motive saying that it is aimed at “seeking to disturb SinoIndian ties”.

“The report was bound to make waves. Lhunze county is not a disputed region. Whether or not there are mining operations there falls entirely within China’s sovereignty. The Sino-Indian border dispute is different from the South China Sea issue and so it is quite farfetched to compare the two”, the editorial said.

It also said “after the Dokalam standoff, Beijing and New Delhi increased their strategic communica-

tion and coordination in the border areas”.

“After Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Wuhan last month and his meeting with his President Xi Jinping, the two sides achieved major progress in strengthening mutual trust. Both countries have no intention of provoking border disputes and China is unlikely to kickstart an aggressive plan on territorial issues”, it said.

“The two governments, not the media, should take the lead in solving border disputes, as the latter can easily mislead public sentiment. Negotiations should be conducted by the two countries’ professional diplomatic and security teams, which should present a solution acceptable to both parties and the two nations’ societies”, it said.

The daily also quoted experts alleging that Western countries are trying to

create discord between India and China.

“The ‘groundless hype’ reflected the fact that some Western powers are constantly sowing discord between China and India, and using Delhi as a pawn on the frontline challenging Beijing,” Hu Zhiyong, a research fellow at the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences’ Institute of International Relations told the daily.

The South China Sea disputes to a great extent were created and intervened in by powers from outside the region, said Qian Feng, a researcher at the Chinese Association for South Asian Studies in Beijing.

“China and India, although they have border disagreements, are addressing such disputes through direct negotiations and making sure such issues won’t undermine normal ties,” Qian said.

but Pakistan could not put its own plans to use as the decade was lost to political instability, the report said.

“We will have to think why many countries which were behind us are now far ahead. China’s per capita income was far below Pakistan’s but is now much higher. Similarly, Bangladesh’s foreign reserves have reached $33 billion while we are at $18 billion. For how long, we will watch other countries overtake us.”

Iqbal said tanks and missiles alone could not save a country “if it’s not strong economically”.

sands of Palestinian protesters gathered at the buffer zone between Israel and the Gaza Strip in a mass demonstration, dubbed the “March of the Great Return”, symbolising the inability of many Palestinian refugees to return to their land.

The Israeli Army killed at least 61 people, including several children and injured over 2,000 but insisted that the protests were called by the Islamist militant group Hamas, in power in the Gaza Strip since 2007.

It coincided with the opening ceremony of the US embassy in Jerusalem, a controversial move by President Donald Trump given that Palestinians envision East Jerusalem, occupied

by Israel since 1967, to be a future capital of the State of Palestine.

Islamabad, May 22 (IANS): India borrowed Pakistan’s economic and reforms plans and implemented them successfully while “we squandered the opportunity largely because of political instability”, Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal has said.

“During the 90s the then Indian Finance Minister Manmohan Singh borrowed economic reforms strategies from his Pakistani counterpart Sartaj Aziz and successfully implemented them in India,” said Iqbal, who also holds the portfolio of Interior Minister.

LS Speaker invites YSRCP MPs for exclusive meeting VIJAYAWADA, May 22 (AGENCIES): The Lok Sabha speaker has invited five YSR Congress Party MPs, who had resigned over not granting Special Category Status to Andhra Pradesh for a meeting.

Five MPs, Y V Subba Reddy from Ongole, Y S Avinash Reddy from Kadapa, Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy from Nellore and V Varaprasada Rao from Tirupati and P V Midhun Reddy from Rajampet, have submitted their resignations. Though the YSR Congress won 8 MP seats, Nandyal MP S P Y Reddy and Kurnool MP Butta Renuka switched over to the ruling Telugu Desam Party, while Araku MP Kothapalli Geetha distanced herself from the YSR Congress, leaving just five MPs for the party.

The five MPs have submitted their resignations to the Speaker in the proper format on the last day of the budget session of Parliament. As the Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan

Sumitra Mahajan

did not act on the resignations, the MPs have sent a reminder to her following which the Speaker had fixed May 29 for personal appearance before her.

“We are going to insist on the Speaker to accept our resignations. We are committed for the cause and there is no rethinking on it.

It is already late in accepting the resignations. In fact, we would be happy if the Speaker accepts our resignations without waiting for the scheduled meeting on May 29,” asserted YSR Congress MP from Ongole Y V Subba Reddy, while speaking to TOI on Tuesday. Subba Reddy further said that the five MPs would appear in

person before the Speaker on the scheduled day and request her to accept the resignations on the same day without further delay. “The government had denied the special category status to the State. The Speaker cannot delay accepting our resignations,” Subba Reddy asserted.

The YSR Congress MPs are expecting byelections once their resignations are accepted by the Speaker after the meeting. “We will go to the people on the special category status demand and win the five seats with greater majority as the special category status demand is the right of the people,” Subba Reddy said.

Meanwhile, the TDP is also gearing up to contest the byelection if the resignations are accepted and the elections are forced on the people. TDP supremo and chief minister C Naidu had already hinted at contesting the elections and had directed the party leaders to be prepared to face the polls.

I-T conducts raids in Delhi; unearths black money New Delhi, MAY 22 (AGENCIES): The income tax (I-T) department has unearthed black money worth over Rs 215 crore after it conducted multiple raids over the weekend against two real estate groups who were selling land and farm houses on the Yamuna plains to highend investors in the national capital, officials said on Tuesday.

Sleuths of the Delhi investigation wing of the department searched and surveyed a total of 33 premises of the two property developers, whom they did not identify. They said the two developers largely dealt in cash while cracking these deals and thus evaded income tax along with their clients, who are now under the department’s scanner.

The modus operandi undertaken by the developers, sources said, was to file their I-T returns based on the sale of the property on actual circle rates but the actual transaction was priced “much higher”.

SBI posts Rs 7,718 crore loss in Q4 due to bond loss

This the second consecutive quarter that SBI has made a loss.

M u m b ai , M ay 2 2 (AGENCIES): State Bank of India (SBI), the country’s largest lender, posted its highest ever loss in the fourth quarter — of Rs 7,718 crore due to provisions made for losses in its bond portfolio and for bad loans.

This the second consecutive quarter that the lender has made a loss. In the Oct-Dec quarter, the bank made a loss of Rs 2,416 crore while during the fourth quarter of the previous financial year, the loss was Rs 3,442 crore.

The numbers are not exactly comparable on a year-onyear basis, since the lender merged all its five associate banks and Bharatiya Mahila Bank at the beginning of 2017-18.

The bank has made Rs 24,080 crore provision for bad loans and Rs 4,761 crore for investments, mainly in its bond portfolio.

“Let me confirm that the recognition [of bad loans] is completed,” SBI chairman Rajnish Kumar said at the press conference.

He pointed to the

‘strength’ of the balance sheet as the loan loss coverage ratio improved by almost 500 basis points to 50.38% in one year.

“Our capital position is also strong,” he said. The bank’s capital adequacy ratio was 12.6% as on March 31, including tier-I capital of 10.36%.

The other reason for the bank’s confidence in improving its performance is that the resolution of stressed assets has started, resulting in banks recovering loans, albeit after taking deep haircuts.

Last week, lenders successfully sold Bhushan Steel — that was referred for bankruptcy following default — to Tata Steel.

The SBI has recovered 72% of the loans given to the steel company from the sale.

The SBI has an exposure of Rs 49,116 crore for the 12 companies against which bankruptcy proceedings were initiated by banks, after being identified by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for action under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. The SBI has

made a provision of 56% on these accounts and expects to take 52% on these accounts, Kumar said.

There was also a second list of accounts, where SBI has an exposure of Rs 28,510 crore and has made 63% provisioning. However, proportion of haircut from these accounts are expected to be higher, a bank official said.

The SBI expects resolution of the first list of accounts that was referred to the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) by the end of September, and for the second list by the end of the financial year.

“Resolution of NCLT accounts will lead to lower GNPAs, in addition to better margins,” the bank said in a presentation to the investors.

Shares of SBI rose 3.7% to close at Rs 254.15 on the BSE, while the overall indices ended almost flat. “Last year [2017-18] was disappointing. There is hope this year. FY20 will happiness,” Kumar said indication that a real turn around for the bank would start from the next financial year.

New Delhi, May 22 (PTI): Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi today asked the archbishop of Delhi to come out of his “prejudiced” mindset and asserted that minorities have progressed at a fast pace in the four years of the Modi government, which has worked for “development without discrimination”.

The Minority Affairs Minister also said that as long as people look at the Narendra Modi government with a prejudiced mind, they cannot see the progress it has made.

Some senior officials have also been despatched from Chennai to the strifetorn town to assess the situation and take measures to restore calm, sources said.

Meanwhile, an official release said about 20,000 people took out a procession towards the district collectorate and the copper plant, demanding its permanent closure.

The government, underlining its “pro-people commitment”, said further legal action would be taken, “respecting” their feelings.

“The Tamil Nadu government requests the people to accept this (assurance) and maintain peace,” it said.

Kolkata, May 22 (IANS): A man, who underwent a heart transplant said to be the first such human-to-human surgery in eastern India, is stable, the hospital said on Tuesday.

Dilchand Singh, 39, has been taken off assisted ventilation, said a medical bulletin.

“Our transplant recipient is stable and continues to progress well,” Fortis Hospital Medical Superintendent Arafat Faisal said in the bulletin.

“All medical parameters are satisfactory. His relatives have visited him and have been updated,” the bulletin said.

According to the bulletin, the patient is alert.

He has been able to consume normal food and water.

His condition will be monitored for another 7296 hours.

The kin of Singh, who hails from Jharkhand, feel the family of the donor, a 21-year-old who died in Bengaluru, has given a new lease of life to him.

“Once we are out of the hospital, we will visit the donor’s family. We will be connected with the family till the time we are alive,” a relative said.

Federal Front will be game changer: KCR’s daughter

K. Kavitha

New Delhi, May 22 (IANS): The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) is confident that the proposed Federal Front will emerge as a strong alternative political platform before the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and will be a “game changer”, a party leader said on Tuesday.

The formation of the Federal Front -- an anti-BJP and anti-Congress platform mooted by TRS chief and Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao -is under process, said his daughter and party MP K. Kavitha.

“Our country needs an alternative political platform which is non-BJP and non-Congress. The Federal Front is an idea to get into an alliance wherein both these parties did not perform to the expectations of the people,” she told reporters at the Indian Women’s Press Corps (IWPC) here.

Kavitha, the first woman MP from Telangana who represents Nizamabad, said

that the party supremo was in talks with like-minded people and the front agenda will soon be put before the public. “The TRS as a party does not believe in north-south divide. KCR has reached out to not just southern leaders but also Mamata Banerjee and Akhilesh Yadav as well. The situation and equation will determine who all are going to be part of this platform,” she said.

On TRS’s equation with the BJP, Kavitha said that the TRS has maintained cordial relations with the Centre and not with an individual party in power.

“KCR believes that the state should always have a working relationship with the central government. We are the youngest state (in India) and we have a working relationship with the Centre and Prime Minister Narendra Modi and will continue because it is essential,” Kavitha said.

Asked about extending support to any national party, especially the BJP, Kavitha clarified that TRS stands as a strong regional party and won’t go for coalition with either of the two big political parties.

“Why should we be close to the BJP? We have always been at arms length from both the BJP and the Congress.”

Air ticket cancellation within 24 hours to be free

New Delhi, May 22 (Agencies): Air travellers will be able to cancel their tickets within 24 hours of booking a flight free of cost, provided they do so atleast four days before the scheduled departure, as per the draft passenger charter made public on Tuesday.

The Ministry of Civil Aviation has placed the draft for public consultation for a period of 30 days and aims at notifying the final version within two months. The Ministry has also proposed that airlines not levy any additional charge for correction in name, if the error is pointed out within 24 hours of making a reservation, and provided the rectification is required for no more than three characters.

The proposal also lays down compensation norms for passengers, and recommends that in case a traveller is informed about a flight cancellation between two weeks to 24 hours before the flight, the airline must offer an alternate flight which departs within two hours of the scheduled departure time booked by the passenger or refund the ticket.

If the airline doesn’t inform the passenger about the cancellation atleast 24 hours before the scheduled departure time, the airline will have to refund the full value of the air ticket.

miserably failed to curtail the rise in fuel prices and is busy filling the treasury coffers at the expense of the ordinary citizens,” he added.

Prices of transportation fuel have been rising on the back of the recent surge in global crude oil prices and high excise duty in the country. On Tuesday, Brent crude oil was priced over $79 per barrel.

In Delhi and Mumbai, petrol was sold at Rs 76.87 and Rs 84.70 per litre repectively on Tuesday while in Kolkata, the price was at a near-five year high of Rs 79.53 per litre. In Chennai, petrol prices touched a record high at Rs 79.79 per litre.

Diesel prices have also reached unprecedented levels setting new records across the country. In Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai, diesel was sold at Rs 68.08, Rs 70.63, Rs 72.48 and Rs 71.87 per litre, respectively.

New Delhi, May 22 (IANS): Making a scathing attack on the BJP-led Central government, the Congress on Tuesday questioned the constant rise in petrol and diesel prices, and demanded they be brought under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) ambit.

It also asked the Central government to immediately reduce the central excise duty on petroleum products and demanded that the BJP-ruled state governments should also reduce Value Added Tax (VAT) and other taxes on the same to provide relief to the common man. Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera told reporters here that there has been an increase of around 212 per cent in excise duty on petrol and 433 per cent on diesel since the BJP came to power in May 2014, while central excise duty had been hiked 12 times.

“Post May 26, 2014, international crude oil prices have come down by more than 30 per cent. (Narendra) Modi government earned a windfall of Rs 9.95 lakh crore by levying central taxes on petrol and diesel till December 2017. It is over Rs 10 lakh crore now. Where has the money gone?”

“As soon as Karnataka elections were over, the government revealed its true colours as the daily fuel price hike resumed,” he said.

“Our major demand is to bring fuel prices under GST which would imply uniform taxation and simple procedural compliance,” he added. Khera questioned

New Delhi, May 22 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused urgent hearing on a plea filed by the Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha (ABHM) challenging Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala’s decision to invite the alliance of the Congress and the JD-S to form a government in the state.

The petition was mentioned before a bench of Justice A.M. Khanwilkar and Justice Navin Sinha which refused to give urgent hearing, saying the petition would be heard in due course.

The plea, filed by Advocate Barun Kumar Sinha, said: “Such fraudulent, opportunist, collusive, tactics between these two political parties have defrauded the electorate of Karnataka which is against the basic structure of the Constitution of India.” The Governor was bound to consider the concept of popular government in a parliamentary democratic system and the opportunistic post-poll coalition has to be disregarded by the Governor keeping in view the people’s will, the Hindu outfit’s plea said.

JD-S legislative party leader Kumaraswamy will take oath as Chief Minister on Wednesday.

Kumaraswamy was invited by the Governor to form the government as the leader of the JD-S legislative party with the support of the Congress.

The invitation came a few hours after Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislature party leader B.S. Yeddyurappa on May 19 stepped down as the Chief Minister ahead of his trust vote as his party with 104 seats fell seven seats short of a simple majority (111) in the 224-member hung Assembly. This is the second time Kumaraswamy, the son of JD-S supremo and former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda, will be the Chief Minister of the southern state, 12 years after the JD-S formed a coalition government with the BJP on February 4, 2006 and remained in office for 20 months.

killed, 38 wounded Child abuse: Australian in16blast in Afghanistan Archbishop convicted

Stockholm, May 22 (IANS): The Swedish government is sending an instructional war pamphlet to all 4.8 million households in the country, educating them for the first time in more than 30 years on the perils of war.

The brochure, titled “Om krisen eller kriget kommer (If crisis or war comes)”, was compiled by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) and instructed civilians on what to do if “their everyday life was turned upside down”, CNN reported on Tuesday.

The pamphlets will be distributed in 13 different languages between May 28 and June 2 during Sweden’s Emergency Preparedness Week.

The brochure provides information on everything from how to identify fake news and prepare against extreme weather conditions to what to do in the event of terror attacks and military conflicts.

The 20-page pamphlet, featuring illustrations of soldiers in the field, people fleeing disaster zones and cybersecurity teams at their computers, was an update on a version first produced during the Second World War and last released in the 1980s.

Sweden remained a neutral country during the Second World War and has not been at war for 200 years. The pamphlet’s republication came as the security debate on whether Sweden will join NATO intensified following alleged Russian violations of Swedish airspace and territorial waters.

New South Wales, said Magistrate Robert Stone ruled the “offence proven.”

Stone said he did not accept that Wilson could not remember a conversation in 1976 in which the victim, who would have been 15 at the time, had described how he was abused by Fletcher a few years earlier, the broadcaster reported. “I am obviously disappointed at the decision published today,” Wilson said in an emailed statement to media.

Last year, Australia completed a five-year

government-appointed inquiry into child sex abuse in churches and other institutions, amid allegations worldwide that churches had protected paedophile priests by moving them from parish to parish.

The inquiry heard that 7 percent of Catholic priests working in Australia between 1950 and 2010 had been accused of child sex crimes and that nearly 1,100 people had filed child sexual assault claims against the Anglican Church over 35 years.

Turkey coup trial: Court jails 104 ex-military officers for life Istanbul, May 22 (IANS): A Turkish court has sentenced 104 former military officers to life in prison for their involvement in a 2016 coup attempt, state media report.

They were given “aggravated life sentences”, which come with tougher terms than a normal life sentence, BBC reported on Tuesday.

The country’s president had previously said he backed reintroducing the death penalty for coup plotters. The failed coup to overthrow President Recep Tayyip Erdogan left at least 260 dead and 2,200 injured on 15 July 2016.

The Turkish government has since led a crackdown on alleged coup supporters, with the dismissal of more than 150,000 state employees and the arrest of some 50,000 people.

Of the 280 ex-military people on trial, the court in Izmir also served lesser sentences to a further 52 defendants.

Sitting in Izmir in western Turkey, the court gave 21 people 20 years in prison for “assisting the assassination of the president”, while 31 others were sentenced to between seven and 11 years for “membership of a terrorist organisation”, state news agency Anadolu reported.

President Erdogan had backed reintroducing the death penalty for coup plotters. He also said they should wear Guantanamo Bay-style uniforms. Turkey abolished the death penalty in 2004.

The Turkish authorities accused a movement loyal to the Muslim cleric, Fethullah Gulen, of organising the 2016 plot.

Washington, May 22 (PTI): President Donald Trump Monday tightened financial sanctions against Venezuela following what the US described as a “sham” election in the country.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro won reelection to another six-year term yesterday, despite widespread anger over the South American country’s crushing economic and social crises. The vote was marred by low voter turnout, allegations of voterigging and an opposition boycott.

Trump in an executive order announced additional sanctions on Venezuela.

These included prohibition on all transactions related to, provision of financing for, and other dealings in the following by a United States person or within the US. It also prohibited the sale, transfer, assignment, or pledging as collateral by the Government of Venezuela of any equity interest in any entity in which the it

The blast was so powerful that the majority of the casualties were passers-by outside the cleared area.

Ahmadi said security forces also found a large container of explosives, rocket-propelled grenades, suicide vests, and ammunition near the site.

The terrorists planned to conduct a big attack at end of Ramadan in the city among crowds of people as they went out shopping for Eid... security forces prevented a disaster from happening,” one security official told AFP. No group immediately claimed responsibility.

The blast comes as the Taliban step up their spring offensive across the war-torn country.

Last week the insurgent group attacked western Farah city, but were repelled by commandos backed by the Afghan and US Air Force. Yesterday, the Taliban warned Kabul residents to avoid “military centres” in the heavily fortified city, saying they are planning more attacks in the Afghan capital.

MELBOURNE, May 22 (Agencies): An Australian archbishop was found guilty on Tuesday of concealing child sex abuse by a priest, which Australian media said made him the most senior Catholic in the world to be convicted on such a charge.

Philip Wilson, the archbishop of Adelaide, is expected to be sentenced by the court in June. He faces a maximum penalty of two years in jail. He was accused of covering up a serious indictable offence by another priest, James Fletcher, after being told about it in 1976 when he was an assistant parish priest in the state of New South Wales.

Lawyers for Wilson, 67, had argued that he did not know that Fletcher had abused a boy, Australian Broadcasting Corp (ABC) reported. Fletcher was found guilty in 2004 of nine counts of child sexual abuse and died in jail in 2006. An emailed statement from the local court in Newcastle,

“As the security forces were trying to defuse the van, it detonated,” said police spokesman Mohammad Qasim Azad.

“The latest figures show 16 dead and 38 wounded people brought to the hospital. We still have two ambulances at the site because there might be more people under the rubble,” Dr Nehmat Barak, chief of the Mirwais Hospital in Kandahar, said.

Ahmadi confirmed the toll, adding that the dead included four security forces personnel. At least five children and 10 members of the security forces were among the wounded.

After revealing the big news, the couple performed Israel Kamakawiwo’ole’s “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” together and even held hands! After their song, the pair was surprised with a free trip to Disney’s Aulani resort in Hawaii.

Following the show, Lee Hutchinson sweetly celebrated his girlfriend’s big win.

“MY GIRLFRIEND WON AMERICAN IDOL!!! No one deserved it more than you babe. I am honored to know you and even more honored to call you mine. Don’t forget about me. I love you,’ he said on Twitter.

Poppe meanwhile was still coming to terms with her big win.

Throughout the season, Poppe won the hearts of millions — including judges Perry, Bryan and Richie.

After her last performance on Sunday night,

instead of critiquing her rendition of Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide,” Perry pulled out her phone and said, “I’m voting for you.”

“No one said I couldn’t,” Perry told reporters after the show.

The star wowed the audience week after week with her highly-anticipated and entertaining performances of classics including Simon & Garfunkel’s “Homeward Bound,” Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U,” and Carrie Underwood’s “I Told You So.” Monday’s finale included performances from the three judges, as well as Bebe Rexha, Darius Rucker, Gary Clark Jr., Nick Jonas and Mustard, Patti LaBelle, Yolanda Adams, Kermit the Frog, and the top 10 finalists.

With the Idol revival guaranteed a second season, the judges previously opened up to PEOPLE about what fans can expect this time around.

Kerala tourism to unveil world’s largest bird sculpture

K

erala tourism will inaugurate the world’s largest bird sculpture, Jatayu Earth’s Centre, here on July 4, Tourism Minister Kadakampally Surendran said on Tuesday.

The replica of the bird ‘Jatayu’ -- a character in the Ramayana -- is 200 feet long, 150 feet wide, 65 feet tall and is positioned right at the top of a rock situated 1,000 feet above sea level.

The sculpture, spread over 65 acres in Thiruvananthapuram, has been built at a cost of Rs 100 crore.

“This has been the work of film-maker Rajiv Anchal and this project was declared under built-operate-transfer basis during the previous Left government in 2006,” said Surendran.

“All these years he was working for this and on July 4, this would be thrown open to the public. Even now it’s ready, but since rains are expected anytime, we have decided to inaugurate in July,” added Surendran.

Anchal, an award-winning filmmaker, selected the project site as the place

has some myths associated with it.

“One can reach the top of the rock from the car park via a cable car that has come from Switzerland and is already installed. The museum and a 6D theatre inside the sculpture will open in November, as the 10-minute film which tells the tale of Jatayu is being made in Hollywood and would be screened here for the visitors,” said Anchal.

According to the legend the rock, ‘Jatayupara’, where the structure is based, is the place where

the mythical bird ‘Jatayu’ fell after its wings were slain

by Ravana.

The state government, apart from offering the land for a 30-year lease, spent Rs 10.25 crore for infrastructure development.

“Two per cent of the revenue will be given to the state government and it will be reviewed once in three years. The project will be handed over to the government after 30 years.

At a time the complex can hold 5,000 people,” added Anchal.

oe Satriani says that “it’s unfortunate” that Ritchie Blackmore would say anything negative about his guitar playing.

The Chickenfoot guitarist, who played with Deep Purple after Blackmore decided to leave the band for good in 1993, made the remark in response to an apparently two-decade-old interview with Ritchie which was

posted earlier this month in audio format on the current Rainbow leader’s official YouTube channel. In that interview, Ritchie referred to Satriani as “a brilliant player” but criticized him for “never really searching for notes” or “playing a wrong note.” Blackmore added: “If you’re always playing the correct notes, there’s something wrong — you’re not searching, you’re not reaching for

anything.”

During an appearance on the latest installment of the “Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon”, Satriani was asked for his reaction to Blackmore’s comments.

“Well, it’s unfortunate when somebody that you look up to has something negative to say about you,” Joe said. “So that part will always hurt. I wouldn’t hide my feelings about that.

Along with the trailer, a behindthe-scenes featurette sees Serkis outlining his creative vision for the film. “”It’s not so much a child’s fairytale,” he explained.

“This has a reality to it. There is real consequence. This is definitely drawn from Kipling and has a much darker approach to the storytelling – there’s no singing or dancing by the animals, that’s for sure.”

d Sheeran has taken an aggressive stance against touts by cancelling more than 10,000 tickets for his upcoming stadium tour.

After the tour went on sale, the star’s team identified purchases by known touts and revoked their tickets.

Any tickets listed for re-sale on sites like Viagogo were also cancelled.

Fans who’d bought from those sites - often at vastly inflated prices - were given assistance in claiming refunds and getting genuine tickets.

So far, more than £240,000 has been returned to fans who inadvertently bought invalid tickets.

“We’re achieving exactly what Ed wanted, which is ‘we want you to come in and pay this [fixed] price,’” said Stuart Galbraith of concert promoters Kilimanjaro Live.

A further 500 tickets are going to be cancelled this week, ahead of Sheeran’s first night at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium, he added.

Sheeran’s team decided to pursue touts after hundreds of tickets for a Teenage Cancer Trust gig were snapped up and sold for profit last March.

Kane named England’s WC captain

L O N D O N, M ay 2 2 (Agencies): Tottenham striker Harry Kane will be England’s captain at the World Cup in Russia, the Football Association announced on Tuesday.

Manager Gareth Southgate has shared the leadership role around since taking over as manager in 2016 but has now settled on Kane for the tournament, which begins next month.

The 24-year-old, who has scored 12 goals in 23 international appearances, was first handed the armband for the qualifier against Scotland last June and has skippered the side on three further occasions.

Southgate, who announced his decision during a team meeting at England’s training base on Monday, said, “Harry has some outstanding personal qualities. He is a meticulous professional and one of the most important things for a captain is that they set the standard every day.”

“He has belief and high standards and it is a great message for the team to have a captain who has shown that it is possible to be one of the best in the world over a consistent period of time.”

Southgate and Kane, who burst onto the senior international scene with a goal 79 seconds into his 2015 debut against Lithuania, appeared in a live

I just can’t wait to be there and experience it. To be leading the lads out is going to be special. But for me nothing changes - I’m the same person, the same player, and it’s just about the team. We’ve just got to do what we can and go as far as we can.” Kane’s Spurs team-mate Eric Dier and

L ondon , M ay 2 2 (Agencies): Arsenal have been fined £20,000 for “failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion” against Leicester on May 9, the FA has announced.

The FA charged the Gunners earlier this month after a number of the club’s players surrounded referee Graham Scott following the awarding of a late penalty to the Foxes.

Jamie Vardy scored the spot-kick as Leicester secured a 3-1 win at the King Power Stadium in Arsene Wenger’s penultimate game in charge of Arsenal.

“Arsenal have been fined £20,000 after failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion during the 75th minute against Leicester City on 9 May 2018,” read an FA statement.

“It was important that we appointed someone with knowledge and experience of the Premier League, who already has an understanding - not only of the teams and players we face - but of West Ham United and our ambitions.”

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson were seen as the other likeliest candidates for the role.

The standout star in England’s inexperienced squad, Kane will travel to his first World Cup full of confidence after another outstanding season in which he passed the 30-goal mark for club and country for the fourth season in a row.

Kane has netted 45 goals in 52 appearances for Spurs and England in 2017/18, missing out on a third consecutive Premier League Golden Boot title to Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.

His goals fired Spurs to third place in the Premier League, meaning they qualified for the Champions League for the third season in a row.

The retired Wayne Rooney, the dropped Joe Hart and Gary Cahill, who is heading to Russia after a last-minute reprieve, have also captained England under Southgate.

“Of course, Harry will need the support of the other good leaders that we have got around him,” said Southgate.

“You don’t become a top team by just having a good captain with good values because that has got to spread right throughout the group but I think he is the one who is ready to take that challenge on.”

Dimapur, May 22 (NPN): After a 25-day zonal camp conducted by the BCCI under the aegis of National Cricket Academy for NE and Bihar Zone, 15 players have been selected to represent the zone in the U-19 Inter Zonal Tournament at Una, Himachal Pradesh from May 23.

Tahmeed Rahman from Nagaland has been selected to lead the first ever zonal team of the newly created zone by the BCCI. Akash Choudhury from Meghalaya was selected as the vice captain while Sonu Gupta from Bihar will be the wicket keeper. The team will play five two-day

matches with north zone, south zone, east zone, central zone and west zone.

The NE and Bihar zone team players are Tahmeed (captain) from Nagaland, Akash Choudhury (VC) from Meghalaya, Akash Raj (Bihar), Arnab kishore (Bihar), Baljeet Singh (Bihar), Sonu Gupta (WK) from Bihar, Paramjeet Singh (Bihar), Sabir Khan (Bihar), Resume Raj (Bihar), Rex Rajkumar (Manipur), Johnson Singh (Manipur), Anwesh Sharma (Sikkim), Aryan Bora (Meghalaya), Biprodeep Dsagupta (Meghalaya) and Hem Bahadur Chetri (Nagaland).

Icardi left out of WC squad Buenos Aires, May 22 (IANS): Mauro Icardi, who won the Serie A scoring crown with 29 goals for Inter Milan, was left out of the final 23-man World Cup roster announced by Argentina national coach Jorge Sampaoli.

Instead, Sampaoli on Monday opted for the Juventus duo of Paulo Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain alongside Lionel Messi and Sergio Agüero on the forward line for the tournament, which gets under way June 14 in Russia, reports Efe. Dybala nabbed a spot on the lineup despite not having been called for recent international matches.

Franco Armani, a goalkeeper who has been a standout this year with River Plate, won a place though he wasn’t on Sampaoli’s squad for the qualifiers in this year’s friendlies. Attracting attention among the midfielders picked by Sampaoli is Independiente’s Maximiliano Meza instead of Ricardo Centurion of Racing Club.

The team includes a total of eight players from the side that lost the 2014 World Cup final to Germany.

On May 27, Argentina will have a training session open to the public at Velez Sarsfield Stadium in greater Buenos Aires, and two days later will receive Haiti at Bombonera -- the home of Boca Juniors -- for a friendly that will be a farewell to its fans.

Chennai beat hyderabad by 2 wickets to enter IPL final M u m b a i , M ay 2 2 (Agencies): South Africa captain Faf du Plessis took Chennai Super Kings to the final of the Indian Premier League as they beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 2 wickets in the first qualifier at the Wankhede stadium on Tuesday.

Du Plessis remained unbeaten on 67 off 42 balls to help CSK chase down 140 in a low-scoring thriller in Mumbai.

The 33-year-old smashed five boundaries and four sixes during his knock to take CSK to their 7th IPL final.

He had started off his innings very slowly and didn’t get to bat for nearly three overs after opening the innings with Shane Watson. But du Plessis batted superbly in the second half of his knock with the tailenders - adding 30 runs with Deepak Chahar, 21 runs with Harbhajan Singh and 27* with Shardul Thakur - to take his team over the line with 5 balls to spare.

Suresh Raina also made a useful contribution with 22 runs while Shardul made 15 not out, which included two boundaries off Siddharth Kaul in the penultimate over

which tilted the equation in CSK’s favour.

CSK needed 6 runs to win in the final over and du Plessis smacked a six off the first ball from Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1/14) to finish the match with 5 balls to spare and triggered massive celebrations in the CSK dugout.

For SRH, Rashid Khan starred with the ball with figures of 2 for 11 while Sandeep Sharma and Siddharth Kaul took 2 wickets each but took a beating in the latter stages.

Kane Williamson’s team will now face the

winner of the eliminator between Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals in the second qualifier.

The second qualifier will be played at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on May 25.

Earlier, Hyderabad rode on a quickfire 43 off 29 to post 139 for 7 in 20 overs after being put into bat by Dhoni.

The low-scoring match saw the batsmen struggling to score freely and it was only because of Brathwaite’s flourish in the death overs which gave SRH bowlers a defendable score.

Yusuf Pathan and cap-

tain Kane Williamson also made useful contributions to the total scoring 24 runs each while Shakib Al Hasan (12) and Shreevats Goswami (12) made identical scores as well.

For CSK, Dwayne Bravo picked up two wickets while Deepak Chahar, Lungi Ngidi, Shardul Thakur and Ravindra Jadeja got a wicket each.

Brief scores: CSK: 140/8 in 19.1 overs (Du Plesis 67; Rashid Khan 2/12) beat SRH: 139/7 in 20 overs (Carlos Brathwaite 43 n.o.; Dwayne Bravo 2/25) by 2 wickets
