Staff Reporter
D I M A P U R , M AY 2 3 (NPN): Vice President of India, M Venkaiah Naidu on Wednesday stressed on the need to improve connectivity of the North Eastern states in order to bring the region into the mainstream. Addressing the 2nd convocation programme of the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Nagaland at Chumukedima, Naidu said there is immense investment potential in the region and that ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) countries should not be allowed to miss the opportunity For this, he said Central and State governments should work in tandem. He also emphasized that corridors of connectivity should be converted into corridors of economic growth with a symbiotic market model of development. Lauding NIT Nagaland for catering to educational needs of students in Nagaland and neighbouring states, Naidu said it could play an even more significant role in filling the industrial gap in the State. Naidu remarked, “Be-
Fuel prices hiked 10th day in a row NEW DELHI, MAY 23 (AGENCIES): Petrol and diesel prices across the country were raised for the tenth consecutive day Wednesday with Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) passing on the increase in international fuel prices to the consumers.
Govt says working on long-term solution, see p-8 The Central government however said it is working on a long-term solution to address the volatility and frequent revisions in rates. Petrol prices and diesel prices reached unprecedented levels as petrol prices almost hit Rs.85 in Mumbai and Rs. 80 in Chennai on Wednesday. The BJP-led government had in June last year junked a 15-year old practice of revising rates every fortnight and introduced daily revisions which worked well except periods immediately preceding an election. There was a 19-day freeze in revising rates before Karnataka went to polls, and since the time the hiatus ended on May 14, rates have gone up by Rs 2.54 a litre in case of petrol and Rs 2.41 in diesel.
NIT Nagaland can play a significant role in filling industrial gap - Venkaiah Naidu ing a technical institute of national importance, I can foresee NIT Nagaland playing a significant role in filling the industrial gap in Nagaland by bringing industries, corporate sector and technocrats from other parts of the country to the State for its overall growth and development.” He also encouraged students from Nagaland and other North Eastern States to take full advantage of the institute by acquiring worldclass technical education. Naidu reminded NIT Nagaland that the real strength of any academic institute lay in maintaining high standards of excellence through teaching and top quality research. He said this could be achieved only through dedication, discipline and determination of the faculty and students, adding there
should not be any compromise on quality of teaching and research. The vice president also acknowledged the efforts of NIT Nagaland in reserving home State quota completely for Naga students and wished the institute to grow and succeed in all its efforts and reach greater heights. While congratulating the students, Naidu advised them that knowledge and technical skills acquired by them in NIT would form main pillars in their professional career. He told the students that while life skills acquired by them were important, values of ethics, morality, integrity and compassion were equally important in navigating through life’s challenges and help them in contributing to building an inclusive New India.
Naidu also advised the students to promote and preserve their mother tongue, love their motherland and respect their “gurus” (teachers). Emphasising on unity in diversity, the VP said, “We must all be proud of our States. In Nagaland, you must be proud to be a Naga, but at the same time at the national level you should be proud to be a Bharatiya”. He added that despite speaking different languages, India’s greatness lies in its people’s oneness. He said India’s secularism was safe not because it has been enshrined in the Constitution of India, but because it was in the blood of all Indians. Mentioning that the Northeast was endowed with abundant natural resources, the VP admitted that it could not realise its true potential due to difficult terrain, dispersed habitations, poor connectivity and inadequate infrastructure. In his address, Nagaland Gover nor P.B. Acharya said NIT Nagaland is the first Centrallyfunded technical institute in the State and one of only 31 such NITs across the country.
DIMAPUR, MAY 23 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio has called upon the people of Nagaland to come forward and extend support to the State government in providing stability, transparency, good governance and improving the overall welfare of all sections of the people. Addressing rallies in Kiphire and Phek Wednesday, Rio said that it is an advantage for the people to have the PDA government in the State which was in alliance with the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre and added that there could not be a better opportunity to expedite the peace process and all-round development of the State. Commenting on the NPF’s ongoing tirades against the NDPP and the BJP, Rio said that it was purely vindictive politics since the BJP chose to ally with the NDPP under his leadership. “NPF is now accusing the BJP but the truth is they were in alliance for the last 15 years. The NPF could not provide good and stable governance to the people as there was a lack of decisive leadership for which the (Cont’d on p-8) public also rose up openly
against the government,” Rio stated. Recalling the NPF president’s statement to the opposition leader as a “heraka boy” last year, Rio stated that now the NPF had no other option but to attack the NDPP and BJP in order to divert the public’s attention. Rio stated that the NPF’s claim to be regional is not founded on truth since in the past the erstwhile NPC had teamed up with the Congress to depose the then chief minister KL Chishi. Rio went on to highlight the visions, developmental programmes and policies of the NDA and PDA governments and encouraged the people to reap the fruits of a good, stable government that was focused on the all-round development of the State. Rio further assured that one of his top priorities will always be to address the grievances of the people. In his speech, PDA candidate Tokheho Yepthomi assured the gathering of serving the people with utmost sincerity, if elected. He also appealed to all PDA partners and supporters to vote in favour NDPP’s globe symbol.
D I M A P U R , M AY 2 3 (NPN): Upping the ante against the ruling coalition, opposition NPF intensified its attack on PDA government as the date for the Lok Sabha by-poll nears. Addressing a public rally at Zunheboto town on Wednesday, NPF legislature party leader T.R. Zeliang charged the PDA government of bringing change “only through words and not deeds”. Recalling the issue of Students Insurance Scheme which he had raised during the first Session of the 13th Nagaland Legislative Assembly (NLA) and is yet to receive a reply from the government, he questioned as to whether the insurance scheme was a “Centrally-sponsored scheme or a State-funded scheme”. “How are they going to implement it?” he wondered. He further queried as to whether the scheme had any linkage with third party companies and whether it was free for all or certain premium was to be paid by the beneficiaries. Citing incidents on how chief minister Neiphiu Rio attempted to sow seeds of division and instability within the NPF, Zeliang (Cont’d on p-7) alleged that Rio had earlier
projected G Kaito Aye as chief ministerial candidate, which gave rise to crisis and hardships to the people of Nagaland. “However now that Rio is in power, G Kaito Aye is being sidelined and preference is given to the newly elected members in the Cabinet,” he added. Calling upon the Sumi community to remain vigilant against “evil designs” of the chief minister lest more capable Sumi leaders are sacrificed at the altar of his “political game for power and wealth”, Zeliang also highlighted sanctions approved for Zunheboto by the previous NPF regime which was allegedly diverted by the PDA government recently. “Rs 2.75 crore which was sanctioned for development of Zunheboto town has now been diverted leaving no penny for the town,” he alleged. Taking a dig at Rio for the State’s financial crisis, Zeliang asserted that “after the one-time grant provided by the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, the State’s deficit came down to zero. However, the tenure of 11 years by Rio as CM abnormally spiked the deficit to Rs 1,234 crore by the time he left for Delhi.” (Cont’d on p-7)
NDPP, BJP lodge complaints against NPF D I M A P U R , M AY 2 3 (NPN): With barely two days before campaigning ends for the May 28 Lok Sabha by-poll in Nagaland, PDA alliance partners– NDPP and BJP-- have taken the by-election fight to the Election Commission of India through a complaint against NPF president Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu, alleging he violated the Model Code of Conduct by making “communally inflammatory speeches” on May 15 at Ura Academy Kohima. BJP president Visasolie Lhoungu and Prasielie Pienyu polling agent of NDPP candidate have drawn the attention of the ECI in separate complaint letters to the speech made by Dr. Liezietsu wherein he purportedly told the gathering that RSS, of which BJP was the political wing, was persecuting minorities across the nation including Christians.
The two parties in their complaint alleged that Dr. Liezietsu had spelt the option that if one was to become Hindu then they can vote for PDA candidate Tokheho Yepthomi but if they want to vote for Nagas and for secularism and Christianity, then they should vote for (NPF candidate) Apok Jamir. The signatories of the complaint letter addressed to ECI have cited various sections of the Representation of People Act 1951 including Section 153A of Indian Penal Code covering the Model Code of Conduct. They have urged upon ECI to direct the state government to immediately register FIR against Dr. Shürhozelie and criminal proceedings also initiated against him. They have also urged upon ECI to direct the state government/ district administration to forthwith restraint any campaign ral-
lies where Dr. Shürhozelie is to speak. The PDA alliance partners have stressed upon the inflammatory nature of the speech of the NPF president which was a threat to law and order during the bypoll as well as creating enmity among different classes and tribes of people. They also said that the speech made by none else than Dr. Shürhozelie the president of NPF not only deviated from the path of decency but could result in violent clashes and street fights that could vitiate the atmosphere for peaceful conduct of the by-poll. It remains to be seen whether the ECI in this case, will act given the fact that incendiary and communally inflammable hate speeches in various states during recent elections have not been acted upon.

NSF president accompanied by LSU president while interacting with students. (NP)
Correspondent WOKHA, MAY 23 (NPN): Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) education tour’s first phase reached Wokha and the federation, accompanied by Lotha Students’ Union (LSU) visited schools and interacted with the students and staff. The federation visited Government High School Wokha Village, Government Middle School Wokha-A, Government Higher Secondary School Wokha and Mt. Tiyi College Wokha. During the interactions it was learnt that government schemes and funds allotted for students had not met the needs of the students as projected, the school uniforms for the students till the 7th standard had not yet been received and the textbooks had not been issued/distributed by the department authori-
ties.
NSF president, Christopher Kesosul Ltu, cleared doubts and heard the grievances of the students from the high schools as well as from the college. While addressing the teachers he appealed to them to not let their decisions hamper the future prospects of the students or their own. Agitation and boycotting of schools/classes should not cause total shutdown of schools and educational institutions he stated. The NSF president said that all primary school teachers were not SSA teacher appointees and the SSA teachers need to be stationed and present at the schools even though the normal teaching and classes were not being conducted. NSF general secretary, Imti Yapang pointed out the importance of continuity of topics in the system of edu-
cation when they learned that the NBSE and SCERT patterns were completely different. The federation noted that regular changes in the syllabus, even slight ones, adversely affects smooth education although it accepted that updates were required. The federation also lamented the normal functioning of schools and colleges being hampered due to the by-polls. The NSF president had also met the Nagaland Election Commission and mentioned that the EC was constrained to impose on the educational institutions due to non-availability of resources. The need of local and regional authors being included in textbooks as well as essays on Naga history for teachers to educate students on the society and history of Naga social life, were expressed and deliberated. Lack of human resource and study and teaching aids were also pointed out by the staff of the institutions. Setting up a ‘Human Resource Development Center’ for the teachers and lectures to enhance their field of teaching was also brought up. The first phase was carried out on May 22 with a visit to Tseminyu, and the team intends to cover Mokukchung, Lumami and Zunheboto also.

assess the area’s biodiversity, as well as to evaluate the opportunity to initiate nature-linked tourism as an incentive for conservation. Faunal surveys by the team prior to the Biodiversity Meet have resulted in a checklist of 212 species of birds, 155 species of butterflies and more than 200 species of moths so far. Many new and interesting records have already been documented. Flocks of the rare white-headed morph of the Himalayan Black Bulbul (Hypsipetesleucocephalus) have been seen in Sukhai and Kivikhu. The extremely rare birds, Naga Wren-babbler Spelaeornischocolatinus and Hodgson’s Frogmouth (Batrachostomushodgsoni) have also been sighted in the landscape. Among the butterflies, the endemic Naga Emperor (Chitorianaga) and the Rufous Silverline (Spindasisevansii) have been reported --both are extremely rare species. Among the moths, Comostolahauensteini has been recorded for the first time from Nagaland, while Kranandalucidaria has been reported for the first time
from India. Despite these very interesting records, the area’s biodiversity remains un-explored. The Nagaland Biodiversity Meet was organized to continue documentation of the area’s biodiversity. 16 participants, which included wildlife researchers, experienced naturalists, students and nature lovers from all across the country gathered for the meet. While the records from the meet are still being compiled, more than 170 species of butterflies were recorded including the spectacular Stately Nawab (Charaxesdolon) and the Great Nawab (Charaxeseudamippus). Other interesting butterfly species that were recorded include the Orange-breasted Freak (Calinaga brahma), Manipur Map (Araschniadohertyi), Khaki Silverline (Spindasisrukmini) among many others, whose identities are being verified. More than 250 species of moths were recorded including the male and female of the rare Picture-winged Leaf Moth (Glanycusinsolitus). The visitors participated in the biodiversity surveys,
stayed in local homestays in the villages of Sukhai and Khivikhu, tasted local cuisine, watched the traditional Sema dances and engaged with the local community to understand their efforts to conserve their natural resources. The records of birds, butterflies and moths will be shared through the Biodiversity Atlas – India (http://bioatlasindia. org/). The biodiversity meet is being organised by TERI, Titli Trust, Diversity India, Nature Mates and Indian Foundation for Butterflies--

Mizoram: ‘Centre allocated funds to non-existent village’ cent of the work is completed and Rs 216.98 lakh has already been withdrawn by the contractor.

We have already shifted our village in 2003 and all the necessary documents of the transfer of village was completed on 2009.” “How can the Centre and the council sanction a scheme in the name of a village which does not exist? And if it is sanctioned in the name of our village then the villagers should benefit. They should have rather constructed the bunds and canals in those areas where we live at present,” Khaubang said. Dhurbojyoti Talukdar, executive engineer (irrigation) Maibang division, said he has no idea about the project as he has joined the division recently. The residents of Nivang and Tongikro villages of Diger constituency in Dima Hasao district had earlier also alleged a scam in the construction of irrigation canals in their area.
AGARTALA, May 23 (Agencies): The youth wing of CPI (M) Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) Tripura state unit and tribal youth front of the party Tribal Youth Federation (TYF) opposed the merit based employment policy and demanded to change revert back the earlier system of providing job, UNI reported. In a joint statement of DYFI and TYF said the BJP-IPFT government had taken a strategy to prevent government job to the unemployed in the name to merit based recruitment. The government was voted to power because they had committed to ensure at least one job to each family but now they are taking different plea. “The new employment policy will give job opportunity to the comparatively well off families because the children of the rich families in Tripura got better education and opportunity in the urban areas. The poor people in rural could afford best education to the children. Moreover, still in the government system quality of education in rural areas is not up to the mark. So, government job is now limited to a particular class,” the statement said. They also pointed out despite several attempts; many states of the country could not yet able to ensure

But the new government was compelled to adopt the policy because in last 25 years in the name to needy, CPI (M) rehabilitated their cadres in the govt sector without considering their skill and efficiency. As a result, the administration is suffering seriously and govt decisions are not implemented properly and timely. The employees since got the job on political consideration without passing through the process of scrutiny of ability most of them have not been able to discharge public service and that affected the common people. “The government is facing challenge to implement the decision on time because of inefficiency of the employees and lack of work culture in the system adopted by leftists. Moreover, BJP in the manifesto committed to provide employment to each family not govt job. In past two and half months, the government took multiple initiatives to create employment opportunity by developing entrepreneurship and we are very much hopeful,” Bhowmik said.

AIZAWL, May 23 (Agencies): Former residents of Aivaphi village have alleged that the Maibang division of the irrigation department has sanctioned crores of rupees in the name of the village, which is presently non-existent, TNT reported. Aivaphi, a village of Hmar tribes, was situated in Hajadisa constituency under Maibang sub-division, around 100km from Haflong town, the district headquarter of Dima Hasao in south Assam. During the 2003 ethnic clashes in the district, the residents vacated Aivaphi village and shifted to Purana Naisongolin in Lower Kharthong constituency near Ditokcherra in Dima Hasao district. The Centre, under the Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP), 2012-13, has sanctioned Rs 12,966.50 lakh for Dima Hasao district for the construction of new bunds and canals, of which Rs 390 lakh has been sanctioned for Aivaphi village, which does not exist.

He denied that Indian intelligence agencies could be involved in his missing because he is not considered as an enemy of the state,” he added. Chetia, who was handed over to India by Bangladesh after he completed 18 years in jail since his arrest there in 1997, joined the pro-talks faction and is currently leading the group in the dialogue process with the Centre. It was Phukan who played a key role in his transfer from Bangladesh. On Tuesday, Phukan’s son Kaushik also met top Union home ministry officials in New Delhi, seeking information about his father. He said, “I have now decided to take the legal recourse...there is no positive response from anywhere. I am taking legal consultation and, in all likelihood, we will be moving Supreme Court next week.” Phukan’s son said his father was actively trying to bring Paresh Baruah, the leader of the anti-talks Ulfa (Independent), to the negotiating table. He suspects that his father might have been kidnapped by “people who do not want Paresh Baruah to join the peace process”.

Agartala, May 23 (IANS): Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu on Wednesday said that the GST and demonetisation were “revolutionary steps” taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, adding that many international institutions were highly appreciative of India’s growth. “With the introduction of GST (Goods and Services Tax) and demonetisation, the Prime Minister took revolutionary steps. The GST revenue in April has crossed Rs 1.4 lakh crore, indicating high hopes for the new tax regime,” Naidu said in his convocation address at the Tripura University here. He said: “Due to such reforms,India’s growth was
GUWAHATI, May 23 (Agencies): With no leads emerging in the case of the missing Ulfa peace talks facilitator, the pro-talks faction of Ulfa questioned the Union home ministry and peace interlocutor AB Mathur about the progress of the investigation, TNN reported. Rebati Phukan, once a BJP candidate for the assembly election from Lahowal in Assam, has been facilitating every peace dialogue between the Centre and Ulfa since 1990. He went missing on April 22 here and was last seen going on a morning walk, leaving behind his two cell phones at home. Chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal ordered a search unit of Assam Police to take up the case, but police have made no headway yet. Ulfa general secretary Anup Chetia told TOI on Tuesday that the outfit’s central executive committee had raised the case of Phukan’s mysterious disappearance with Mathur, former special secretary of the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), and officials from the Intelligence Bureau (IB) during one of the rounds of the ongoing dialogue in New Delhi on Monday. “We have told IB officials and the interlocutor that there are rumours of the involvement of Indian intelligence agencies in Phukan’s kidnapping. We want to know his whereabouts,”

High on numbers
here is a sense of foreboding that the lifestyle of the risk-taking generation in the state could add to a worst case scenario in the next few decades if HIV is not checked more effectively. According to the latest information, Nagaland has a prevalence rate of 0.76% among adults, which is third highest in the country. Nagaland has 22,878 ‘People living with HIV (PLHIV) and AIDS cases, disclosed an official of Nagaland State AIDS Control Society (NSACS). At a recent sensitization programme for mediapersons, NSACS deputy director Dr. Vezokholu Theyo disclosed that as per study, conducted between early 1999 and 2018, it was found that the Manipur has the highest HIV prevalence rate among adults in the country at 1.06%, followed by Mizoram at 0.79%. In Nagaland, which has a population of around 20 lakh, it was said, 10,16,700 blood samples were screened between 1999 to 2018. Of that 22,878 have reported positive. Besides states like - Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Rajasthan – which account for 82% of PLHIV cases; the northern eastern region is also a prominent area where prevalence is high. The ratio is indeed high in the north east. Earlier, Manipur had the distinction of having the highest prevalence rate. Nagaland also begun to make itself also prominent and that had led to an urgent action to prevent further spread. In all likelihood there may have been some impact though it is too early to suggest or even claim that the responsive action has been successful. The other aspect of negating the fight has been the attitude of some states which continue to fight shy about admitting they could also have high prevalence. State like Assam cannot ignore or wish away the potential of being another high prevalence state. Since all states in the region are contiguous and since Assam if the meeting point or gateway, there is every reason to undertake a serious survey and study of HIV in the state. Even Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh or Tripura should make all out efforts to trace the ground reality about HIV prevalence in their respective states. It has been widely recorded that worldwide, four young people between the ages of 15 and 24 contract HIV every minute -about 6,000 every day. Of those more vulnerable are females. According to the UN AIDS Report in 2016, the unequal position of women in most societies, disturbing levels of sexual abuse, violence and exploitation, and women’s vulnerability to HIV infection are all fuelling the “feminization” of the epidemic. The phases of awareness, care and treatment have been completed yet the dreaded disease continues to rage. Of particular concern is the vulnerability of young people with regard to Dimapur. It may be stated that being the gateway of both Nagaland and Manipur, Dimapur is a transit site and so a lot needs to be done. Presence of a large number of immigrant workers, injecting drug users, boys and girls involved in commercial sex trade and increasing number of young people coming from other rural areas certainly make Dimapur a challenging task for HIV&AIDS awareness, prevention and care etc. The State AIDS Control Society has to take a review of the strategy and where improvement is needed so as to spell out a specific target to channelize adequate resources to respond to the challenges at various levels.
DailyDevotion Our Careful Unbelief
…do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. —Matthew 6:25 Jesus summed up commonsense carefulness in the life of a disciple as unbelief. If we have received the Spirit of God, He will squeeze right through our lives, as if to ask, “Now where do I come into this relationship, this vacation you have planned, or these new books you want to read?” And He always presses the point until we learn to make Him our first consideration. Whenever we put other things first, there is confusion. “…do not worry about your life….” Don’t take the pressure of your provision upon yourself. It is not only wrong to worry, it is unbelief; worrying means we do not believe that God can look after the practical details of our lives, and it is never anything but those details that worry us. Have you ever noticed what Jesus said would choke the Word He puts in us? Is it the devil? No— “the cares of this world” (Matthew 13:22). It is always our little worries. We say, “I will not trust when I cannot see”— and that is where unbelief begins. The only cure for unbelief is obedience to the Spirit. The greatest word of Jesus to His disciples is abandon.

The fallen of the Church
he Church is an organization formed by the members of the Church. When we look into the modern Church particularly in Nagaland we find in Naga history of the arrival of Christianity, there were few people or families. Those who become Christian were expelled from the village, persecution and penalized by the non Christian government. It is in fact that the immensely developed Christianity into the high percentage we are very fortunate that we know Christ and Christ know his people. On the other side of the same coin, it is very unfortunate when we see churches falling away from the truth of the Bible. After we carefully study about the church we find (a) The eternal church which is the body of Christ representing the eternal Kingdom of God, Called the True believers. True believers are the temple of God (b). The external congregation called the external representation of the Kingdom of God, the present local congregation. During the Old Testament era there was no church like the present day. On Pentecost day the 22nd May AD 33, the Holy Spirit was poured out and the church age officially began in the New Testament era. After Christ ascension into heaven, the great divine organization that was represent the kingdom of God, on that day about 3000 person were saved from many different nations. Never again would the Jewish synagogues, the city of Jerusalem the nation of Israel or the temple in Jerusalem externally represent the Kingdom of God. The Local Congregations that would be formed throughout the world would externally represent the Kingdom of God. Therefore, spiritually the Bible is very frequently called the Local congregation, as “Jerusalem”, “the Temple”, “Zion”, “Israel”, “Judah”, “Judea”, etc. The Old Testament ceremonial laws like burnt offering, blood sacrifices, circumcision etc. were no longer to be observed and replace by new ceremonial laws like water Baptism, Lord’s Supper and so on. Water Baptism is an outer sign which can never washed away our sin, it can only cleans/wash the physical waste of the body. Sin is like a disease incurable by medicine and that disease cannot wash away when we have taken bath or water Baptism but the washing away of our sin is Christ alone. The ceremonial law can never become
R
guarantee of salvation. These are only outer sign and never sealed in the book of life. Today’s Church is a social Gospel. All of us in need of political freedom, economic security and freedom from disease. Surely this teaches that the social-political gospel has nothing to do with the Gospel of salvation. The Gospel is concerned with the spiritual needs of mankind. If I discover that the doctrine of my Church teacher is not faithful to God’s word, do I tremble in fear? Absolutely Yes! We must remember that any doctrine we hold that is not faithful to the Bible is lie. It is something developed by man-made gospel. We are competing in church building construction but we are not competing for salvation. They want a new building. They are looking for reputation; Theologians are looking for employment in the church. They wanted to create a new church, a new denomination. These are the issues of leadership, crazy after money, hypocrisy, nepotism, favouritism in the Church. And God placed strict rules in his law book, the Bible that govern the selection of elders and deacons; women were not allowed nor have no authority over man. The law relating to Divorce and Marriage signs and wonders etc. The church is a place of discrimination and commercial institution but God does not a respecter of person. The state Govt. is the highest employee having many bureaucrats in each department followed by the Church Ministry having luxurious Car, handsome salary, well accommodation, good facilities etc. The tithe is for the purpose of the Gospel to go out to every corner of the world but many lakhs of rupees spent for these in order the Gospel to get out. The high Priest in the Church misused the church property. There are the corrupt churches everywhere; and there is a competition in financial matters among the churches. We try to convert other religious practices, culture and tradition to Christianity, but the preacher encouraged to maintain culture and traditional identity. We want to change others but we don’t want to change ourselves. Tradition and culture has nothing to do with salvation. If anyone takes a close examination of their own church, they will see other areas in which their church has departed from the Bible. The present Church
is taken authority over the Bible. These are just a few areas where churches have fallen away from the truth. Jesus said if we keep his commandment we know him and we love him, and kept not his commandant is a liar and the truth is not in him. The church at Ephesus had lost its first love therefore God threatened to remove their candlestick. The church members depend on the church doctrine by all the denominations and believed that they are practicing true gospel. Likewise in our church is no more the Gospel of the Bible. But the Bible alone and in its entirety is the word of God; it is the only trustworthy and infallible word of God the Bible. Jesus will absolutely bring about the penalty of eternal damnation upon unsaved. It is indeed sad that virtually understand every church throughout the world cannot understand many truths of the Bible. This is so because they do not obey the Bible’s instructions concerning Bible interpretation. The man made historical, grammatical hermeneutic method of Bible interpretation that is held by virtually every church, denomination, seminary etc. It is to be totally rejected because God prohibit for private interpretation of the bible. The true biblical method of Bible interpretation is based on the fact that the bible teaches that it is a spiritual book comparing scripture with scripture. God speaks in parables without parable he did not speak. God allowed the true believers to understand the parables. Those who do not understand the parabolic language do not understand the true gospel. We have to realize the seriousness of the predicament the world is in when we talk about the Bible. The NBCC is a gospel institution, organized by many churches/organization of Christ believers, but the church workers pin point at one particular political party especially the BJP ticket holders during the last concluded state assembly election and silent after the formation of NDPP alliance with BJP (PDA) Govt. The involvement of ULB election during NPF government by NBCC pressuring the government and made an agreement with the government, which lead to resignation of T.R. Zeliang and loss of two precious lives. Salvation ticket is neither the possession of NBCC nor CBCC or any other organization it is a personal
matters, the defeat of Shri. Kevechutso Doulo is held responsible and accountable by the Church organization reason best known by them. I am not against the present MLA, but against those who involve in unethical politics play by church workers for the sake of Christ. Do not be equally yoke with unbelievers at Chizami Constituency because we see the abomination of desolation in the holy place, (Matt.24:15), also they eat their own bread and their own apparel, (means not the gospel of the Bible but their own gospel) (Isaiah 4:1).Those who preach the Gospel should be living with the Gospel. 1. Recently LGBT has taken slogan in mainland India against section 377 IPC for deletion of their rights. Have you file PIL in the Supreme Court of India? 2. Look at the present political situation in the country; Even if secularism is threaten in the Indian parliament, what you can do for the defence of our Christian faith? 3. We hear persecution of our brothers and sisters in mainland India. Hindu has its RSS. Muslim has their ISIS. We said, Father forgive them for they do not know what they do. If we practice the present system of the church organization, will it be stand after a century of our Christian religion? 4. Anti conversion bill passed by some state legislative Assembly in India. What is your contribution? 5. Before the pre-millennium the NBCC declared 10,000 (Ten thousand) Missionaries to go out. Where is your promised? How many missionaries sponsored by NBCC outside the state? Murmuring in your kitchen against one particular political party will not solve the problem. We don’t have persecution in our state, we blame those who persecute Christians in mainland India, is it any steps to control persecution in mainland India? In 2001 census Christianity had 3% and now decrease to only 2.3% of the total population in the country ……You want to be Christian only in good times and your comfort zone? You are afraid of BJP ruling in Nagaland? …Tell me where the scripture says we have to oppose/against our own government or authority? Where is your fulfilment of 18 Points agreement of state clean election? Pfukrulhi Khupfuh, G.S.Road, Dhobinala, Dimapur, (akrukhupfuh@gmail.com

The curious case of Jerusalem
erusalem, one of the oldest cities in the world, located on the Judaean mountain plateau between the Mediterranean and Dead sea, is a holy city in three major religions of the world, namely, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It is the land of disputes since the time immemorial. This city has a very long history of war, destruction and reconstruction. As per the records, this city has been destroyed at least twice, besieged 23 times, attacked 52 times, and captured and recaptured 44 times. Even the Crusade was waged for the conquest of this ancient city in the medieval Eurasia for around 300 years. In the modern times also, Jerusalem is the land of conflict. During 1948, Western part of the city was captured and later annexed by Israel known as West-Bank while the Eastern part, including the old monumental shrines were captured and later annexed by Jordan. However, world community considered Israeli occupation as illegal over West-Bank and this area is under joint control between Israel-Palestine authority. In 1967, Israel captured East Jerusalem from Jordan. In 1980, Jerusalem is claimed as the undivided capital of Israel. All major establishments of the Israeli government are set in Jerusalem such as the parliament, the Supreme Court, The President’s residence etc. However, Eastern part of the City is parallelly proclaimed by Palestine. Both Israel and Palestine authorities forcefully try to establish their capital here. So, none of their claims were entertained by the world communities unanimously for a long time. Since our school days, we were taught that Tel Aviv is the capital of Israel and Ramallah is the capital of Palestine. Recently, the United States of America has ignited the dispute again.US traditionally has a soft corner towards Israel in order to satisfy the intelligent, powerful and rich Jewish community of it. Of late, Trump administration has shifted its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem after lots of hue and cry. That means, the US is becoming the first country to recognize Jerusalem officially as the capital of Israel which is followed by Guatemala as the second. Most of the countries, especially the Middle-Eastern are vehemently opposing this itchy decision. The world community is gradually divided into two quarters over the issue. India is apparently silent so far by maintaining her ‘duel state policy’. Already, severe clashes have erupted in Palestine. The terror group Hamas of Gaza strip has termed it as a ‘day of rage’. It means, the new centre of intense ferocity will be Jerusalem once again from now onwards. It is observed that all major US decisions are triggered by economy and commerce always. The World Oil Economy has been dominated by the Arabian countries since the World War II. However, in the recent times, Brazil, Mexico, Russia, China, Nigeria, USA etc. are also becoming the major producers of oil. So, the world Oil parity has significantly changed. The latest development of Jerusalem is actually signifying that shift. It will have adverse affect in the world politics in the coming days. The current military escalation between Iran and Israel in Syria is just a repercussion of that. I wonder how a poor country like India tackles this world unrest in a decent way.

Sir,
Irregularity of electricity in Dimapur
As I wake up every morning and goes through the Nagaland Post newspaper, I usually see the grievances of the people in the Post mortem column under ‘Readers Post’ which were all rightly appealed and concisely expressed. The humidity of summer has been rising, whereas, electricity has been taking a ‘U’ and more irregular instead of being more regular. A common made like me who has not own back up like inverter, solar, etc has been under physical humidity attack which is afflicting normal sleep and rest in a place like Dimapur. Therefore, I would like to implore the concerned authority to sympathetically look into it and release the common people and others from darkness and physical torture.

Madras HC directs Vedanta to stop construction of plant
An unidentified mob set fire to two police buses at Bryant Nagar in Thoothukudi.
In a fresh police firing in the port town of Thoothukudi in south Tamil Nadu, a youth, Kaliappan, was killed on Wednesday. On Tuesday, 10 persons, including a 17-yearold girl, were killed in police firing when a massive rally taken out in the city demanding the closure of Sterlite Copper, a Vedanta group copper smelter unit, turned violent. On Wednesday, police said, a mob pelting stones on 6th Street in Anna Nagar was chased away by a police team. However, when the mob intensified its attack on the police personnel, they opened fire. Four of
(From p-1) Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) and Peoples’ Democratic Alliance (PDA), which have filed complaint with the ECI against NPF for alleged violations of the Model Code of Conduct, have expressed confidence that the ECI and the concerned authorities would take serious cognizance of the complaints raised by them and necessary action taken at the earliest. In a press release, NDPP spokesperson, Merentoshi R Jamir, said NPF president Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu’s callous statements have larger implications in inciting religious and communal disharmony among the masses. NDPP spokesperson stated that Liezietsu’s speech was a clear violation of Section 3 of the ECI MCC as well as Section 125 of the Representation of Peoples Act 1951. NDPP stated that all right thinking citizens must condemn such irrational statements made by a person whom the society holds with respect, especially a former chief minister of the state. Further, NDPP also claimed that on May 20,
2018, the NPF candidate to the Lok Sabha by-elections C Apok Jamir had presented a “Mithun” to the Ao Senso Telongjem (Ao Union) Dimapur, which was later distributed amongst the members of the union. NDPP pointed out that presenting a Mithun was “not a normal affair” but holds a lot of significance among all Nagas. “The presentation of a live animal, let alone a Mithun, to anyone by a political party, leave aside the candidate himself is a violation of Section 4 of the ECI MCC tantamount to bribing the electorates. This is also a violation of the India Penal Code,” it stated. Meanwhile, NDPP and PDA sought to put on record and reiterate their stand that they would contest the by-elections “on the very foundation of democracy through our party ideologies and principles and highly condemn the Religious politics that our opponent the NPF is resorting to.” Further, they appealed to the electorate of Nagaland to come forward and exercise their adult franchise on May 28, 2018 and “elect a leader and a party that does and will not indulge in politics of religion, inducement and bribery.”
Oppn show of unity at HDK’s... (From p-1) A galaxy of national and regional leaders and chief ministers of some non-BJP states from across the country were present on the occasion. Among the prominent political leaders present on the huge dais were UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, Congress President Rahul Gandhi, BSP supremo Mayawati, Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav, expelled Janata Dal-United President Sharad Yadav and Communist Party of India-Marxist General Secretary Sitaram Yechury. Chief Ministers Mamata Bannerjee (West Bengal), N. Chandrababu Naidu (Andhra Pradesh) and Pinarayi Vijayan (Kerala) were also present at the 10-minute swearing-in ceremony.

Zeliang lashes out at PDA government (From p-1) It was pointed out that during the first session of the current Assembly, the figure was wrongly mentioned by Governor while addressing the House. The matter was taken up for debate at the Budget Session even as the opposition leader brought the matter to the notice of speaker in writing, demanding the reconciled figure from Reserve Bank of India. However, he said the speaker has not replied till date. M e a n w h i l e, c o m menting on the performance of the two-monthold PDA government, NPF spokesperson Achumbemo Kikon, referred to the incidents of attempts on the lives of two traders in Dimapur just few weeks after Rio took over as chief minister, the closure of petrol pumps in the State in protest against the kidnapping of a driver and helper
of an oil tanker and the boycott of by-election by college students. Ridiculing Ram Madhav, BJP’s national secretary general and in-charge of Northeast, and Rio for the alleged present mess in the State, Kikon said “Ram Madhav has been appointed as teacher of BJP and RSS, while he has engaged Rio as proxy local teacher to confuse the Christian population in Nagaland.” Explaining difference between NPF-BJP alliance and NDPP-BJP alliance, Kikon clarified “NPF was never controlled by BJP, whereas the PDA government is controlled by BJP and NDPP is playing second fiddle to a de facto BJP government.” In his speech, NPF candidate for the Lok Sabha by-poll, C Apok Jamir said the upcoming election was “not a contest between two tribes, but between two
different ideologies which is issue-based.” Calling upon the Nagas to vote for NPF in order to protect their interest, identity and religion, Jamir claimed NPF was the “true voice” of the Naga people. Also addressing the gathering, Yitachu called upon the people to send the right person to represent them in the Parliament. “Send the right person so that the Government of India listens to us, and this is the right time for us to come together and work together,” he appealed. Others who spoke at the rally included NPF MLAs-- Vikheho Swu, Dr Chumben Murry and NPF working president Huskha Yepthomi. The programme was chaired by NPF Zunheboto division president Akavi Sumi. This was stated in a press release issued by information & publicity wing of leader of opposition office.
Rio seeks public cooperation for PDA (From p-1) Speaking on the occasion, adviser Dr Neikiesalie (Nicky) Kire stated that central leadership has confidence and trust on the leadership of Rio. He urged the people to come and join the government and not the opposition, whose leadership is “weak and divided”. Minister Neiba Kronu, who also spoke on the occasion, asserted that, with Naga peace process on, Yepthomi is the best candidate to represent the people as he is very seasoned and a senior leader who knows the Naga issue.
He said people should not be deceived by lies of NPF. Another rally was also held at 37 Tuyi A/C under Wokha district where in private secretary to deputy chief minister, Hachio Patton urged the citizens of the state to vote for PDA candidate Tokeho Yepthomi, who has had vast political experience and could speak about the grievances of the Nagas people the Parliament. BJP Wokha unit president, Meribemo als spoke on the occasion. The three day campaign was led by campaign convenor and BJP president 37 Tuyi AC, Renben Ngullie.

ity. “We are in catch 22 situation as far as the issue of hiking fares is concerned. There is so much capacity in the market and then you have to fill the seats also,” said a senior executive from another airline. Commenting on the situation, Amber Dubey, partner and India head of aerospace and defence, KPMG, said, “We are expecting a 10-15 per cent increase in fares to partially compensate for the near-30 per cent increase in ATF prices over the last year.” He said the central and state governments should reduce the excise duty and VAT (value added tax) rates as soon as possible. “The Union and state governments earned a bonanza from the aviation sector, thanks to low crude oil prices. It’s time to give back a bit,” he said. Some state governments levy as high as 40 per cent VAT on the ATF, making jet fuel in India one of the costliest in the region. The unprecedented increase in ATF prices has triggered a call for bringing it under the purview of the goods and services tax (GST).

MUMBAI, May 23 (PTI): The nearly 30 per cent increase in aviation turbine fuel (ATF) over the last one year could compel domestic airlines to go for a upward fare revision to offset the increased cost of operations, according to experts. Since the jet fuel accounts for 45 per cent of an airline’s cost of operation, the carriers could think of hiking the prices by up to 15 per cent, the experts feel. While the airlines refused to come on record on the issue, executives of some private carriers said a call on how to offset the increase in the ATF was yet to be taken even though the situation demands hiking of the fares. The ATF price has witnessed an increase of nearly 30 per cent over the last one year and about 25 per cent in just last six months. “There is an increase of 25 per cent in the jet fuel prices from last November till date and this definitely calls for an increase in ticket prices to meet some of the increased costs. But the question is who will bell the cat,” said a private airline executive on condition of anonym-

(From p-1) Acharya said NITs have been established in almost all the States to promote not only technical education but also social ethics and a new generation with a vision of united and developed India. He added that NIT Nagaland was playing its role in promoting the same in the State. Being an epitome of the academic institutes of Nagaland, Acharya said NIT Nagaland has to play a lead role in fortifying educational and research processes, following resource conservation as well as green technology-based approaches. He also advised the students to not let their degrees be an end in itself but serve as catalyst for further pursuits of knowledge. “Getting a degree is not the end of education, but it is the beginning of empowerment by strengthening the economy of the society and nation,” he emphasised. Earlier, degrees of the institute were awarded to the students and medals to winners of various awards by Naidu. Two doctorates (PhDs), 33 postgraduate and 33 graduate degrees were awarded in person and the rest in absentia. Altogether, two PhDs, 51 postgraduates (M Tech), 130 graduates (B Tech) qualified in the academic year 2015-16 and 2016-17.

rakash Group were locked out of the resolution process and there were fears that the bids may not be aggressive, resulting in the lenders having to recover only a small part of the loans. The government had countered the criticism by arguing that the move was meant to ensure that the promoters did not walk away with the same asset at a heavy discount. A clause was, however, inserted allowing the promoters to participate if they cleared the dues. “The real success is the pressure on loan defaulters to clear dues. The borrowing and lending culture is changing because of IBC,” said a source, who did not wish to be identified.

little insight if a reduction in tax was coming. “(The) issue of frequent hike in fuel price is a matter of debate and concern. The government is involved in this whole process, including the concern (about rise in prices) and also the uncertainty,” he told reporters here. With geopolitical situation leading to an uncertainty over the direction of international oil prices, “a new sense of urgency has developed”, he said. “The government is keen that instead of having an ad hoc measure, it may be desirable to have a long-term view which addresses not only the volatility but also takes care of the unneces-
NEW DELHI, May 23 (Agencies): The fear of losing control over their companies has prompted promoters, who have defaulted on repayment of loans to banks, to settle their dues of around Rs 83,000 crore before action was initiated under the newlyenacted Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), TNN reported. On last count, data compiled by the ministry of corporate affairs (MCA) showed that over 2,100 companies have cleared their outstanding amounts, a majority of which came after the government amended the IBC to explicitly bar promoters of companies that were classified as a nonperforming assets (NPAs) from bidding for these companies where the National Company Law Tribunal, the bankruptcy court, initiated action. A loan is classified as an NPA if dues are unpaid for 90 days. The move had faced severe criticism from the corporate sector as top names in the industry such as Ruias of Essar, Singals of Bhushan Group and Gaurs of Jaip-

sary ambiguity arising out of frequent ups and downs. That process is underway,” he said. The minister refused to elaborate either on the measures being considered or if a duty reduction was on cards. On the question of excise duty, he said proceeds from such taxes are used for country’s development including building of highways, digital infrastructure, electricity to villages, hospitals and education. “So tax on fuel is linked with developmental issues. We understand that there is a compelling need for a long-term solution, structured solution (to deal with the present situation),” he said. Asked about former Finance Minister P Chidambaram’s criticism of the BJP government raising excise duty to take away gains arising from falling international prices, Prasad said he generally does not comment on the Congress leader’s tweets “because ever since his party went out of power, he has become active on twitter”.

New Delhi, May 23 (PTI): With petrol and diesel prices being hiked for the 10th day in a row, the government Wednesday said it is working on a longterm solution to address the volatility and frequent revisions in rates. The BJP-led government had in June last year junked a 15-year old practice of revising rates every fortnight and introduced daily revisions which worked well except periods immediately preceding an election. There was a 19-day freeze in revising rates before Karnataka went to polls, and since the time the hiatus ended on May 14, rates have gone up by Rs 2.54 a litre in case of petrol and Rs 2.41 in diesel. The 10-day relentless price increases built pressure on the government for cutting excise duty to give immediate relief to consumers but after a meeting of the Union Cabinet headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Law and IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad offered

Summit with Kim Jong-un may not happen next month: Trump
Donald Trump
Kim Jong-un
WASHINGTON, MAY 23 (PTI): US President Donald Trump has said there is a “very substantial chance” that his planned summit with North Korea’s Kim Jong-un may not happen next month and speculated that Chinese President Xi Jinping may be behind Pyongyang’s new hard line. North Korea last week warned that it may cancel the June 12 summit in Singapore between Kim and Trump if the US insists on it giving up nuclear weapons unilaterally. Speaking to reporters
at the White House while welcoming South Korean President Moon Jae-in, Trump said that North Korea must meet conditions for the summit to go ahead though if it did not, it might happen “later”. “We’re moving along. We’ll see what happens,” Trump said in response to a question. “There’s a very substantial chance that it won’t work out. That doesn’t mean that it won’t work out over a period of time, but it may not work out for June 12,” Trump said. Trump said he believed
Kim was “serious” about denuclearisation. “I do think he is serious. I think he is absolutely very serious,” he said, but declined to say whether he had spoken to Kim. “They’re hardworking, great people,” he said of North Koreans. “He will be extremely happy. He will be very happy” he said of Kim if the deal works out. Earlier, Moon’s national security advisor Chung Eui-yong told reporters that there were 99.9 per cent chances for the summit to happen. “We believe there is a 99.9 per cent chance the North Korea-US summit (set for June 12 in Singapore) will be held as scheduled. But we’re just preparing for many different possibilities,” Chung told reporters. “We’re trying to understand the situation from the North’s perspective,” he said when asked about changes in North Korea’s rhetoric. Trump also said that he was “little surprised” at
North Korean leader Kim’s “different attitude” after his second meeting with Chinese President Xi. Xi and Kim met in the northeastern city of Dalian in an unannounced visit by the North Korean leader on May 8. Trump said the meeting between the two leaders was not a great meeting as there has been a change in North Korea’s attitude after that. “I think that President Xi is a world class poker player. I probably maybe doing the same thing that he would do. But I will say this, there was a somewhat different attitude after that meeting, and I’m a little surprised,” Trump said. “Now maybe nothing happened, I’m not blame anybody. But I’m just saying maybe nothing happened and maybe it did. But there was a different attitude by the North Korean folks after that meeting. So I don’t think it was a great meeting,” Trump said.
86 ancient tombs discovered in China’s Hunan
Former South Korean President denies charges in corruption trial
CHANGSHA (CHINA), MAY 23 (IANS): A total of 86 ancient tombs have been unearthed in central China’s Hunan province, the provincial archaeological research institute said on Wednesday. The tombs were located in the city of Yiyang and the excavation started in December, Xinhua news agency reported. Among the discovered tombs, 82 were built in the Warring States period (475 B.C.-221 B.C.) and four date back to the Six Dynasties (222-589) to Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). More than 400 items of pottery, bronze, iron, jade ware including swords, mirrors and scales were also discovered in the area. “These items indicate that the owners of the tombs might be common people and aristocrats from middle and lower social classes”, said Deng Jianqiang, from the city’s cultural relics management bureau, adding that the tomb owners could be craftsmen and businessmen.
SEOUL, MAY 23 (IANS): Fo r m e r P r e s i d e n t L e e Myung-bak insisted on his innocence at the first hearing in his corruption trial on Wednesday, claiming that he has been wrongly accused for political reasons. The 77-year-old former leader showed up at the Seoul Central District Court, marking his first public appearance in two months after his arrest over a string of charges including bribery and embezzlement, Yonhap news agency reported. “I feel deeply sad ... the indictment is far-fetched,” he said. “It is painful to fight against people whom I worked while leading this country.” Lee, the President from 2008 to 2013, was indicted on April 9 on 16 counts of corruption, making himself the country’s fourth former leader to face trial. He has been accused of accepting about 11.1 billion won ($$10.3 million) in bribes, including $5.85 million in lawsuit expenses that
Lebanese parliament re-elects Berri as speaker He will lead a caretaker government until the new cabinet is agreed. Berri, 80, heads the Amal Movement and has been allied with Hezbollah since the end of Lebanon’s 1975-90 civil war. Hariri, an opponent of Hezbollah, had declared support for the re-election of Berri as speaker, a post reserved for Shi’ites in Lebanon’s sectarian power sharing system. Ferzli, like Berri and
Hezbollah, has close ties to the Syrian government of President Bashar alAssad. Hariri had declared his opposition to Ferzli’s candidacy. The deputy speaker position, reserved for a Greek Orthodox Christian, has been held by a Hezbollah opponent since 2005, the year Syrian troops were forced to withdraw from Lebanon after the assassination of Rafik al-Hariri, Saad’s father.

Lebanon’s parliamentary re-elected speaker Nabih Berri in Beirut, Lebanon May 23, 2018.
DC-1031
BEIRUT, MAY 23 (AGENCIES): Shi’ite politician Nabih Berri, a close ally of the Iran-backed Hezbollah group, was re-elected for a sixth term as speaker of Lebanon’s parliament in an uncontested vote on Wednesday. Another Hezbollah ally, Elie Ferzli, was elected deputy speaker, reflecting a shift in Lebanon’s political landscape in favor of the heavily armed Shi’ite group, reports Reuters. Hezbollah, and groups and individuals that support its possession of arms, won at least 70 of parliament’s 128 seats in a May 6 election. The result was a reversal of Lebanon’s last general election in 2009, when anti-Hezbollah groups won a majority. Berri won the votes of 98 of 128 MPs. After being reappointed as speaker, a role he has held since 1992, he called for a new government to be formed as soon as possible. Saad al-Hariri, who headed the outgoing cabinet, is expected to be pre-

Govt can reduce petrol price but they won’t: Chidambaram
P Chidambaram
New Delhi, May 23 (PTI): Amid rising criticism over steep hike in fuel prices, senior Congress leader P Chidambaram today claimed it was possible to cut up to Rs 25 per litre in petrol prices but the government will not do so. In a series of tweets, the former finance minister said the bonanza to central government is Rs 25 on every litre of petrol and this money rightfully belongs to the average consumer. “Central government saves Rs 15 on every litre of petrol due to fall in crude oil prices. Central government puts additional tax of Rs 10 on every litre of petrol. “It is possible to cut up to Rs 25 per litre, but
11

Nagaland Post, Dimapur THURSDAY, MAY 24, 2018
the government will not. They will cheat the people by cutting price by Rs 1 or 2 per litre of petrol,” he said on Twitter. More than a week after 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 the 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.
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. Now, 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. 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. 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 govern-
ments excise mop up more than double to Rs 2,42,000 crore in 2016-17 from Rs 99,000 crore in 2014-15.
Cong to protest in Mumbai tomorrow
Targeting the Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre over the fuel price hike, opposition Congress today sought to know why the petrol-diesel rates have gone up despite a fall in international crude oil prices. The party said it would hold a protest in the city tomorrow over the rising fuel prices. “In April 2014, during the Congressled UPA rule, crude prices were USD 110 per barrel. Yet, petrol was Rs 80 and diesel Rs 63 per litre then,” senior Congress leader Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil said. “The common man has only one question today- when the crude prices are USD 70 per barrel, why is it that petrol prices are Rs 85 per litre and diesel Rs 73 here now?” the Leader of Opposition in Maharashtra Legislative Assembly said. Mumbai Congress president Sanjay Nirupam said the residents of the city are paying the highest in the country for petrol and diesel.
SIT formed to probe extortion calls to UP BJP MLA Lucknow, May 23 (IANS): The Uttar Pradesh Police on Wednesday constituted a three member Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe alleged threat calls and extortion demands received by 14 ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislators. Additional Director General of Police Anand Kumar said the team has been assigned the task of cracking this sensitive case. He also expressed hope that the team would be able to soon decipher who are the people behind such WhatsApp messages and calls to the legislators. Between Monday and Tuesday this week as many as 14 BJP legislators have been sent WhatsApp messages seeking money to the tune of Rs 10 lakh from each or else their family members would be eliminated. Officials privy to the investigation said similar language had been used by the threat makers in all the 14 cases. An official said most numbers from which the threats were made were “virtual numbers” and the virtual private networks have also been apparently used where the proxy servers ensure that the IP addresses are masked. Head of SIT Amitabh Yash told IANS that the team was looking at all possibilities.
CBI registers FIR in SSC paper leak; raids 12 locations
SCC aspirants protesting against the alleged scam.
New Delhi, May 23 (IANS): Three months after the alleged paper leak of an examination conducted by the Staff Selection Commission (SSC), the CBI has registered an FIR and conducted raids at multiple locations across the country, an official said on Wednesday. The agency on Wednesday raided 12 locations, including the Offices of Sify Technologies Ltd, entrusted to carry out the Combined Graduate Level (Tier II) exam, in Noida. A Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) official said that “the decision was taken after the investigators found enough material in the matter”. The agency in March had registered
a preliminary enquiry to probe the paper leak based on the references received from the Central government into the matter. The SSC, which conducts examination for subordinate services, had recommended a CBI inquiry into the alleged paper leaks in the Combined Graduate-Level (Tier-II) exam held from February 17 to 22. The alleged paper leak had triggered widespread protests, following which a CBI probe was ordered. The SSC decided not to declare the results till the agency completed its probe. A large number of candidates had earlier staged protests outside the SSC office at CGO com-
plex in the national capital for several days seeking CBI probe. The SSC conducts examinations for recruitment to lower categories of posts in the central government. Nearly 30.26 lakh candidates had registered for the Combined Graduate Level examination, being conducted to fill up about 8,000 vacancies in 35 different ministries and departments. While about 15.43 lakh candidates appeared for the Tier-I exam in August 2017, about 1.89 lakh candidates were shortlisted for the Tier-II exam. Of these, 1.41 lakh candidates appeared for the exam, conducted at 206 venues in 68 cities.

They said the agency raided at least nine premises, including those of Talwar, after it registered a criminal case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), based on a CBI FIR of last year. The teams are on spot at these locations in Delhi and Haryana and are looking to gather documents and evidences, they said. Talwar, for a long time, is said to be out of the country and is reportedly in Dubai.

The Centre has asked the state to investigate such cases on an urgent basis, the minister added. The Nipah virus has so far claimed 10 lives in Kozhikode and Malappuram districts in north Kerala. Fruit eating bats are the primary host of the Nipah Virus, which can cause disease in both animals and humans. So far there is no vaccine against the virus which was first identified in 1998 in Kampung Sungai Nipah, Malaysia.
Mumbai, May 23 (PTI): Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today said strict action will be taken against the guilty in the Aurangabad riots and that an Additional Director General (ADG)-level rank officer will probe the incident. A delegation of legislators from the Congress, the Samajwadi Party and the MIM met Fadnavis last night to hand over the “proofs” of the alleged involvement of Shiv Sena workers and police personnel in the Aurangabad riots. “I have assured the delegation that an inquiry will be conducted by an Additional Director General (law and order) and those involved in the incident will not be spared, irrespective of their caste, religion or party,” the chief minister told PTI today.
New Delhi, May 23 (PTI): The Delhi Police today sent a notice to Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, asking him to join the investigation in the case of alleged assault of Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash in February, police said today. Sisodia will be questioned on Friday at 11 am. The deputy chief minister was sent the notice today to join the probe, days after Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was questioned for over three hours in connection with the matter, police said. Prakash was allegedly attacked during a meeting at Kejriwal’s official residence on February 19. Police said the chief minister was present when the alleged assault took place. The police have already questioned 11 AAP MLAs present at the chief minister’s residence for the meeting. Two of the party MLAs -- Amantullah Khan and Prakash Jarwal -- were arrested in the case. Last month, Kejriwal’s private secretary Bibhav Kumar and party volunteer Vivek Kumar were also questioned in connection with the case.

Fadnavis said he also assured the MLAs that the innocents who suffered in the riots will be compensated as per the norms. “Strict action will be taken if any complacency is found in the administrative action,” Fadnavis said. MIM legislator Imtiyaz Jaleel said the chief minister also assured the delegation that a commissioner of police (CP) for Aurangabad will be announced within 72 hours. The state government had in March sent Yashasvi Yadav, who was then serving as the Aurangabad CP, on compulsory leave, over the police’s “high-handedness” during the protest over dumping of garbage on the city’s outskirts. Since then, Inspector General (IG) Milind Bharambe was handling the additional charge of Aurangabad.

Raipur, May 23 (PTI): Naxals blew up the farmhouse of a BJP MP with Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in Chhattisgarh’s Kanker district, ahead of Chief Minister Raman Singh’s visit to the area, the police said today. There was no report of any casualty as the farmhouse was empty at the time of the attack that took place late last night. Two rooms of the farmhouse, belonging to BJP’s Lok Sabha member Vikram Usendi, were damaged in the blast, they said. Chief Minister Singh is scheduled to today visit Antagarh, around 15 km away from the village where the farmhouse is located, in Kanker as part of his ongoing ‘Vikas Yatra’. As per preliminary information, a group of Naxals late last night stormed the farmhouse in Bondanar village, located around 250 km from the state capital Raipur, a senior police official told PTI.

The attacks were in response to an incident on Tuesday in which several Palestinians from Gaza crossed the border wall and set sniper posts on fire, Efe news quoted the Israeli Army as saying in a statement. “A short while ago, Israeli Air Force (IAF) aircraft struck underground Hamas terror infrastructure in northern Gaza as well as two additional military targets that belong to the terror organization’s naval force,” the Israel Defence Forces tweeted. According to radio station Kan, at least two fishing boats were destroyed in the airstrikes. Tensions along the border have been increasing since March 30, with the start of protests known as the “Great March of Return” along the security fence that separates Gaza from Israel.

Five Star Movement leader Luigi Di Maio (L) wants Giuseppe Conte as prime minister but the littleknown lawyer’s nomination has been delayed.
later said Conte was summoned to the presidential palace at 1530 GMT. The anti-establishment Five Star Movement (M5S) and the anti-immigrant League nominated Conte, 54, for premier on Monday. But scandal soon
struck over doubts about his claims to have studied at certain top world universities. “Conte betrayed by his CV,” ran a headline in left-leaning newspaper La Republicca. “The CV affair is
open, Conte is hanging in the balance,” said Il Corriere della Sera. The parties are seeking to form a coalition government in a bid to end two months of political deadlock following March’s inconclusive general election. Mattarella must agree to the parties’ candidate and ministerial team before they can seek approval for the new government in parliament. Conte’s official CV says that he “furthered his juridical studies” at Yale, New York University (NYU), Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, the Sorbonne and Cambridge, but some entries have been called into question. NYU told AFP that their records did not “reflect Giuseppe Conte hav-
ing been at the University as a student or having an appointment as a faculty member”. It said he was granted permission to conduct research in the institution’s law library between 2008 and 2014. Cambridge University declined to give details about Conte. Duquesne University told AFP he attended as part of an affiliation with Villa Nazareth, an exchange programme, and did legal research but “was not enrolled as a student”. Conte has yet to speak out publicly about the affair. Five Star has defended him as its choice to head a cabinet in which M5S leader Luigi Di Maio and League chief Matteo Salvini are tipped to hold key posts.
Pope to China Catholics: Make gestures showing communion VATICAN CITY, MAY 23 (AGENCIES): Pope Francis urged Chinese Catholics on Wednesday to show they are in full communion with the Holy See, amid what appears to be another stall in the Vatican’s longstanding attempts to reach a deal with Beijing over bishop nominations, reports AP. Francis made the comments during his general audience, noting that many Chinese Catholics will be marking a feast day dedicated to the Virgin Mary this week in Sheshan, near Shanghai. Francis prayed that all Chinese faithful “can live their faith with generosity and serenity, and can make gestures of fraternity, harmony and reconciliation in full communion” with

the pope. China’s estimated 12 million Catholics are split between those belonging to the government-backed Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association and an underground church loyal to the pope. These underground priests and parishioners are frequently detained and
harassed. Francis — and before him Pope Benedict XVI — have tried to unite the two communities, and in recent months Vatican officials had expressed hope that a deal to resolve the key stumbling block to reconciliation was nearing completion.
German city to restrict older diesel vehicles
FILE -- Traffic signs which ban diesel cars are installed by workers at the Max-Brauer Allee in downtown Hamburg, Germany May 16, 2018.
BERLIN, MAY 23 (AGEN- largest city, Hamburg, will CIES): Germany’s second ban the most polluting die-
sel cars from two major streets from next week, in a move that could encourage other cities to follow suit and step up the pressure on carmakers to consider costly vehicle refits, reports Reuters. Hamburg, home to around 1.8 million people, said on Wednesday the ban would start on May 31 and affect diesel models that do not meet the latest Euro-6 emissions standards. The move follows a ruling in February by Germany’s top administrative court that said the cities of Stuttgart and Duesseldorf
should consider bans for older diesel models. The detailed publication of that ruling last Friday showed local authorities were entitled to implement targeted bans with immediate effect to bring air pollution levels into line with European Union rules, although curbs affecting wider city areas should only be phased in over time. Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government has long sought to avoid bans, as has the VDA auto industry lobby representing carmakers such as Volkswagen , Daimler and BMW.

Dave Grohl rules out running for Rolling Stones make Polish writer wins Man President: ‘I am not doing an Oprah’ triumphant return to London Booker International Prize “I O lga Tokarczuk, a 56-year-old bestselling author from Poland, has won the prestigious Man Booker International Prize for her novel “Flights,” which deals with travels in the 21st century and human anatomy. A counterpart to the prestigious Man Booker Prize, the 50,000 British Pounds award goes to the best work of translated fiction from around the world and is split equally between the writer and the translator. “Flights” has been translated by Jennifer Croft and is published by Fitzcarraldo Editions, a tiny independent press. Tokarczuk and Croft were presented the award at a ceremony in Victoria and Albert Museum here on late Tuesday night. The entries for this year’s award received 108 submissions and Tokarczuk’s work was contending against two previous winners -- South Korea’s Han Kang and Hungary’s Laszlo Krasznahorkai. The shortlist also
featured Spanish author Antonio Munoz Molina, Iraq’s Ahmed Saadawi and France’s Virginie Despentes. Tokarczuk is “a writer of wonderful wit, imagination and literary panache” who “has written a great many books that sound amazing, but which haven’t been translated yet,” commented Appignanesi. “Flights” is Tokarczuk’s only third work to be translated into English and she has become the first writer from Poland to be awarded the prize.
“We loved the voice of the narrative -- it’s one that moves from wit and gleeful mischief to real emotional texture and has the ability to create character very quickly, with interesting digression and speculation,” said Appignanesi, herself a noted British writer, novelist, and campaigner for free expression. She also praised the novel’s translation by Croft, who translates from Polish, Spanish and Ukrainian and holds an MFA in Literary Translation from the University of Iowa. Poet and translator Michael Hofmann; novelists Hari Kunzru and Helen Oyeyemi and journalist Tim Martin, along with Appignanesi completed the judging panel. A well-known author in Poland, Tokarczuk is a recipient of numerous awards in her home country. She trained as a psychologist at the University of Warsaw. She has authored eight novels and two short-story collections. (IANS)

ctor Liam Neeson is in negotiations to join actor Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson in “Men in Black” spin-off. Filmmaker F. Gary Gray is directing the project, written by “Iron Man” screenwriters Matt Holloway and Art Marcum. Sony studio has the film dated for a June 14, 2019 release, reports hollywoodreporter.com. Hemsworth and Thompson are not playing the same alien-fighting and worldsaving characters portrayed by Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones in the initial film
trilogy. The new movie is set in the same on-screen world, however. Plot details and the characters Hemsworth and Thompson will portray are being kept secret, but on the Neeson front, it is known that he will play the head of the Men in Black organization in London, where the story begins. Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald, who produced the original movies, are back as producers, while Steven Spielberg is returning as executive producer. (IANS)

ave Grohl has ruled out ever running for the US presidency, declaring that he’s “not doing an Oprah” by mounting a challenge to Donald Trump in 2020. The Foo Fighters frontman has been fiercely critical of Trump’s presidency, admitting that he is “ashamed” of the commander-in-chief. Speaking to GQ, Grohl said that Foos drummer Taylor Hawkins had initially asked him if he would consider running for President in the future. “[Hawkins] said, ‘You need to be president and run for office.’ Fuck that. And that’s my quote, right there,” Grohl said. “I’m not doing an Oprah. I’m not going to go, ‘Well, you never know.’”
Despite his reluctance to run for office, Grohl later delivered something akin to a political speech when describing the current political and social climate in the US. “The American Dream was still tangible, still desirable,” he said. “Today, the American Dream is broken. I’ve probably travelled internationally more than our current president and the one thing I understand that he doesn’t is that the world isn’t as big as you think it is. It is all in your neighbourhood. India, Asia, Iceland aren’t other solar systems. Last week, Grohl performed on stage with his two daughters Violet and Harper during a benefit concert. (NME)
t ’s g o o d t o b e home,” were the words of Mick Jagger as he stood, resplendent in a sparkly silver space jacket, on stage at the London Stadium last night (May 22). It’s been a long five years since The Rolling Stones played live in London — and an even longer 11 years since they did a full UK tour. But when you’re the world’s oldest rock and roll band, a paltry decade isn’t going to cause too many problems. In fact, just nine miles across town in Soho stands the remnants of the oncelegendary Marquee Club, where Mick, Keith & Co. played their first ever gig in 1962. Now, 56 years on and still going strong, they’re having more fun than ever. Opening up with call-to-arms rocker ‘Street Fighting Man’, the band stuck to a tried-and-tested setlist stuffed with classic bangers from down the years. Noticeably lacking in ballads — ‘Fool To Cry’ and ‘Slipping Away’ were the only true slowies to feature — there were few rarities for the mega fan to geek out about. But
even though it was a wellknown performance from the band, the support act combo was brand new. “This is for everyone in Manchester. Sing along if you know the words,” said Liam Gallagher before dedicating ‘Live Forever’ to the victims of 2017’s terror attack in Manchester. It’s been a year since 22 people died at the city’s Arena, and Liam’s tribute was sensitive and well-received by the crowd. His eight-song cameo was overloaded with Oasis classics (‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Star’, ‘Cigarettes
& Alcohol’, ‘Some Might Say’) the latter featuring a brilliant cameo from exOasis bandmate Bonehead on rhythm guitar. Later on stage, Jagger joked about how they “were all set to play with Liam in Manchester, but he wouldn’t set foot in the Old Trafford Stadium” — home, of course, to Manchester United: arch rivals of his beloved City. Luckily, they rescheduled and LG proved the ideal warm-up act for the bluesrock septuagenarians. (NME)

BCCI to standardize hosting fees for state associations NEW DELHI, May 23 (Agencies): In a bid to put a check on its expenses, the BCCI has decided to standardize the fees for state associations hosting India A, India U-19, Women Team India and various formats of domestic matches, TNN reported. The board has always had a fixed amount set for hosting international games and used to transfer the grants to the state associations. The board shells out Rs 25 lakh for Test matches and Rs 15 lakh ODIs and T20Is. But associations were compensated for hosting non-international as per the invoice generated and submitted to the BCCI. “Nobody can keep a tab on the expenses done by associations. There has been disparity in bills submitted by associations last season. The standardization of hosting fees will ensure there are no frivolous expenses. The board will be hosting a lot more matches this year and with new members coming
in, every expenditure must be monitored,” a BCCI official told TOI. It is learnt that the disparity in expenditures came to light when the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) billed the board Rs 13.5 lakh besides the hosting fees and other expenses for hosting four matches of Deodhar Trophy at a single venue played under lights in five days. HPCA’s bill included Rs 4.50 lakh on diesel generator (DG) sets, Rs 2 lakh on furniture and Rs 7 Lakh on operational and diesel for DG sets. The board has a set amount Rs 1 lakh as hosting fees besides the bills generated by local associations. It was noticed that the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) raised an
invoice of approximately Rs 8 lakh for hosting multiple teams the second round of the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament at two venues which also included matches played under lights. Interestingly, the board made a payment of around Rs 18.5 lakh to Andhra Cricket Association for conducting two four-day games against New Zealand A in September last year. The proposal has been provisionally accepted by the Supreme Court-appointed committee of administrators (CoA) subject that the hosting of such matches should cover the actual cost plus another 10 percent. The proposal will now be referred to the finance committee. According to the proposal, hosting fees for fourday international matches (like A games), three-day internationals (warm-up games), and two-day international games, will be Rs 25 lakh, Rs 20 lakh and Rs 15 lakh respectively.

Indian players should play other leagues too: Chris Gayle PUNE, May 23 (Agencies): Chris Gayle believes in speaking his mind. The Caribbean cricketer didn’t mince words on Tuesday either, even when he was asked about a subject, frequently passed unanswered by many big names, TNN reported. The batsman was here to visit the Blades of Glory cricket museum, was asked whether Indian players should be allowed to play for other countries’ leagues. Gayle said with so many talented players, India should allow its cricketers to play in other countries’ leagues. “In India there are so many cricketers that a lot of talented cricketers don’t get to play in the IPL. I would love to see them play for other leagues as well. Some of those talented players won’t get a chance to play for the national team as it is always hard to get into the Indian team. So this way they can get some experience of playing international level cricket,” the T20 specialist said. Gayle is beyond runs,
15TH DEATH ANNIVERSARY LT. TSIPANSHUMO LAPON
Seoul, May 23 (Agencies): Tipped as one of the few men in the draw capable of beating Rafa Nadal at Roland Garros this year, rising South Korean talent Chung Hyeon was forced to pull out of the French Open with an ankle injury on Wednesday, Reuters reported. The Australian Open semi-finalist said he had been carrying the problem through the clay season and would need significant time on the sidelines. “Unfortunately I had to withdraw from Lyon yesterday and now Roland Garros,” the 21-year-old wrote on his Twitter account. “I have been struggling with an ankle injury during the entire clay season. An MRI scan has revealed that I have build up of fluid in the ankle joint which might require a small procedure and then an extended period of rest.” Chung gave Asian tennis a lift by reaching the last four at Melbourne Park in January before that campaign came to an end when the bespectacled right-hander retired injured due to blisters against eventual champion Roger Federer. In addition to missing an event to let his blisters heal, Chung skipped a claycourt tournament in Houston and the Barcelona Open last month due to physical ailments.

The Jamaican, who struggled to score in the latter half of the Indian Premier League after hitting two 50s and a century, said good and bad forms are part of the game and people should move on after the tournament is over.
“There is always a room for improvement. You can’t sit and say that I am happy with my performance or not. Given the fact I started well (this season), and then I fell back, but it is just a game of cricket and we should move on,” Gayle said when asked if he was satisfied with his IPL show for Kings XI Punjab this season.

KKR beat RR to enter Qualifier 2
Kolkata Knight Rider’s players celebrate after RR’s batsman Sanju Samson’s dismissal during the 2nd qualifier IPL T 20 eliminator cricket match between KKR and Rajasthan Royals at Eden Garden in Kolkata on Wednesday. (PTI)
Kolkata, May 23 (IANS): Skipper Dinesh Karthik (52) led from the front as Andre Russell (49 not out), Piyush Chawla (2/24) and Kuldeep Yadav (1/18) starred with bat and ball to help Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) see off Rajasthan Royals (RR) by 25 runs and reach Qualifier 2 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) here on Wednesday. KKR will now meet
S u n r i s e r s H yd e r a b a d (SRH) here on Friday to decide who faces Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the final on Sunday. Despite early hiccups, KKR posted 169/7 in 20 overs riding Russell’s big hitting late on after Karthik had set the tone for the two-time champions at the Eden Gardens here.

India to get first sports university in Imphal: Prasad
Emery is new Arsenal coach
NEW DELHI, May 23 (PTI): The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved an ordinance to set up the country’s first national sports university in Manipur. Briefing reporters on the decisions of the Cabinet, Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said a bill to set up the university in Imphal (west) is already pending in Parliament. He said things will start moving fast once the President signs the ordinance. The Manipur government has already allocated land for the proposed university, he said. The ordinance will be on the lines of the bill introduced in Lok Sabha in August, 2017. As of now, there are some institutes which offer various courses for athletes and coaches. “A void exists in the sports environment of the country in various areas such as sports science, sports technology, high performance training,” the bill stated.
Unai Emery
L o n d o n, M ay 2 3 (Agencies): New Arsenal head coach Unai Emery was the “unanimous” choice to “drive the next chapter” at the club, says chief executive Ivan Gazidis, BBC reported. Emery, 46, joins the Gunners having left French champions PSG after guiding them to the Ligue 1 title. The Spaniard also won four domestic cups with the French giants, having previously steered Sevilla to three successive Europa League triumphs. He succeeds Frenchman Arsene Wenger, who has left after 22 years in charge. “Unai has an outstanding track record of success throughout his career, has developed some of the
38-ball 50, containing four fours and two sixes and captain Ajinkya Rahane (46; 41b 4x4 1x6) kept their team in the hunt with a 62run partnership off 54 balls for the second wicket. With 74 needed from 48 balls, chinaman Kuldeep got rid of Rahane in the 15th over with Chawla then sending Samson back after he brought up his half century in 37 balls. With the required run
best young talent in Europe and plays an exciting, progressive style of football that fits Arsenal perfectly,” Gazidis added. “His hard-working and passionate approach and his sense of values on and off the pitch make him the ideal person to take us forward.” Manchester City assistant manager and former Gunners captain Mikel Arteta was a strong favourite to replace Wenger, but Emery - who has a limited command of English - was selected following the Gunners’ recruitment process. He will lead Arsenal into a new era following the departure of 68-year-old Wenger, who won three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups - including two Doubles - with the club. “I’m very excited to be given the responsibility to start this important new chapter in Arsenal’s history,” said Emery. “I am thrilled to be joining one of the great clubs in the game. Arsenal is known and loved throughout the world for its style of play, its commitment to young players, the fantastic stadium, the way the club is run.
Dipa Karmakar’s recovery has been slow ever since she underwent an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) surgery in April 2017. (PTI)
NEW DELHI, May 23 (Agencies): Eyeing Asian Games glory nearly two years after a rare deathdefying stunt in sport’s biggest stage, gymnast Dipa Karmakar will still need to overcome the “fear factor” that plays out in the mind of an athlete following a career-threatening injury, feels her coach Bisweshwar Nandi. A knee injury has kept the 24-year-old out of competition since her historic fourth-place finish at the 2016 Rio Olympics, in which she landed her ‘Produnova’ perfectly enough to emerge among
the top eight. The recovery has been slow ever since she underwent an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) surgery in April 2017, but now she is “almost there”, and the Asian Games is still some months to go. “I would say she is about 90 percent fit now. She will start taking full load from next month onwards,” Nandi told PTI. The coach had pulled Dipa out of the Commonwealth Games trial as she was nowhere near full fitness. She was training back home in Agartala for the past one and a half month

AB de Villiers retires from international cricket
rate climbing up and set batsmen out, Royals, who have a thin middle order, could never recover. Rahul Tripathi (20; 13b; 1x4, 2x6) helped Royals to a brisk start by tonking Russell (0/22) for a six in the first over and thereafter smacking the usually economical Sunil Narine (0/39) for two back-toback sixes in the fifth over. Rahane looked in effervescent touch at the other end, pulling and cutting M. Prasidh Krishna flawlessly in the fourth over after surviving a review when he was given out lbw by the umpire off Chawla on 14, two overs earlier. Royals were 47/0 inside five overs before Tripathi -- who also survived a review -- inexplicably chipped a googly back to Chawla for a soft dismissal. In came Samson with the well-set Rahane batting and the duo looked on course to chase down 170 before they got out in quick succession and it was all downhill from there on. Earlier, KKR rode on Karthik’s well-paced fifty coupled with Russell’s unbeaten 25-ball 49 blitz to recover from an early collapse.
Russell came in to bat when KKR were trying to stem the rot through Karthik and Shubman Gill (28; 17b; 3x4 1x6) before the latter fell with the team on 106/5 in 14.2 overs. The big-hitting West Indian smoked five sixes and three fours in the last five overs to take 55 runs and help the purple brigade post a challenging score. Krishnappa Gowtham (2/15), Jofra Archer (2/33) and Ben Laughlin (2/35) got two wickets each for the Rahane-led side with leg-spinner Ish Sodhi conceding just 15 runs off his four overs. Royals’ bowlers made early inroads to reduce KKR to 51/4 after eight overs when Karthik and Gill got together. The pair joined hands for a 55-run stand for the fifth wicket before Gill departed and Russell stepped on the gas. BRIEF SCORES: Kolkata Knight Riders 169/7 in 20 overs (Dinesh Karthik 52, Andre Russell 49 not out; K Gowtham 2/15, Jofra Archer 2/33, Ben Laughlin 2/35) beat Rajasthan Royals 144/4 in 20 overs Ajinkya Rahane 46, Sanju Samson 50, Piyush Chawla 2/24, Kuldeep Yadav 1/18) by 25 runs.
Tejaswini wins gold in prelude event of shooting
India out of Uber Cup after losing 0-5 to Japan
Munich, May 23 (PTI): Seasoned rifle shooter Tejaswini Sawant, extended her year’s brilliant run, winning gold in the Women’s 50m Rifle Prone event, in a Grand Prix ahead of 2018’s fourth and final International Shooting Sport Federation World Cup in Munich on Wednesday. This comes on the back of her gold at the recently concluded Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia. Tejaswini shot 621.4 to pip younger teammate Anjum Moudgil, who shot 621.2 to win silver in the event. It was a profitable day for Indians, as Chain Singh also won Silver in the Men’s 50m Rifle Prone event, shooting a score of 627.9 to finish behind USA’s Matthew Emmons, who took Gold with a score of 628.9. Among other Indian results on the day, Shreya Saxena finished ninth in the Women’s Prone event with a score of 619.1 while in the Men’s event, Gagan Narang and Sanjeev Rajput shot scores of 621.7 and 621.2 to end in 32nd and 34th positions.
Asian Games: Karmakar still not 100 % fit but the lack of foam pits meant she was not able to practice with full intensity. Nandi confirmed that Dipa will resume training at the start-of-the-art SAI facility from this week. For years, the Indian gymnasts have been without a recognised federation, depending solely on SAI’s support. The administrative crisis this time led to a delay in the start of the Asian Games training camp. The competition level at Asian Games will be tougher than Commonwealth Games, where Dipa had won an unprecedented bronze four years ago. “You will have China, Japan and the two Koreas. They all boast of Olympic medallists. So I can’t say whether she can win a medal. She has to peak at the right time and most importantly leave aside the fear factor that she might get injured again. “As a coach, I know you can’t just erase the injury from your memory. It might prevent you from giving your 100 percent but
Nagaland Post, Dimapur
you have to find a way to deal with it,” said Nandi. Dipa, anyway, will not be attempting Produnova the vault of death - anytime soon, said Nandi. “It is not the time to try out something new also. So we have to keep focusing on the old moves minus the Produnova,” he added. GS Bawa, the SAI appointed chief national coach, is more optimistic about Dipa’s chances at the Asian Games. “She is a fighter and despite the fact that she is coming back from an injury, she remains our best bet. The Asian level is higher than CWG but she can come up with a surprise medal in vault,” said Bawa. “No doubt past injuries play on your mind but all gymnasts know that it is a dangerous sport. Anything can happen and you have to live with that,” he added. Other medal hopefuls, Ashish Kumar and Aruna Reddy, are training in Tashkent.
BANGKOK, May 23 (PTI): Saina Nehwal squandered four match points in her singles match as a young Indian women team bowed out of the Uber Cup after being hammered 0-5 by five-time champions Japan in a group A match on Wednesday. India had won two bronze medals in the last edition but the team without top shuttlers such as PV Sindhu and Ashwini Ponnappa, was no match for the top seeds. Saina seemed extremely fit and dominated the match before a series of unforced errors in the fag end saw her blow away four match points to lose 19-21, 21-9, 20-22 to world No. 2 Akane Yamaguchi in the opening match. Doubles pair of Sanyogita Ghorpade and Prajakta Sawant then lost 15-21 6-21 to world no 4 Ayaka Takahashi and Misaki Matsutomo.

Iniesta, who was set to travel to Japan later on Wednesday, could be officially introduced on Thursday at an event in Tokyo, although Vissel Kobe refused to confirm the ceremony when contacted by EFE. The two-time European champion and scorer of the only goal in Spain’s victorious World Cup final victory against the Netherlands, played his last game for Barcelona on Sunday and received an emotional farewell from the club and fans. He is set to start at his new club after playing for Spain in the upcoming World Cup in Russia.
AB de Villiers (File)
L o n d o n, M ay 2 3 (Agencies): Former South Africa Test captain AB de Villiers said he had “run out of gas” as he announced his retirement from international cricket, BBC reported. The 34-year-old has played in 114 Test matches, 228 one-day internationals and 78 Twenty20 matches for the Proteas. He took time away from Test cricket in 2017, missing the series against England that summer, but returned to the red-ball side in December. “I’ve had my turn and, to be honest, I’m tired,” he said. “This is a tough decision. I’ve thought long and
hard about it and I’d like to retire still playing decent cricket. “It would not be right for me to pick and choose where, when and in what format I play for the Proteas. “For me, in green and gold, it must be everything or nothing.” De Villiers made his international debut in the Test series against England in 2004 and played in a limited-overs match a year later. He scored 8,765 Test runs for South Africa and has a batting average of over 50 in both Test and ODI cricket. De Villiers’ 22nd - and final - Test century came against Australia

young shuttler lost 10-21 13-21 in just 26 minutes as Japan took the match away from India. In the fourth match, Va i s h n av i B h a l e a n d Meghana Jakkampudi went down 8-21 17-21, while Aruna Prabhudesai lost 12-21 7-21 to end the proceedings. Indian women’s team had lost to Canada 1-4 but they won 5-0 against Australia in group A. In the opening match, Saina made a determined effort but the errors in the fag end proved costly. In the first game, both the players probed the four corners of
the court with their cross court returns. The drift also posed problems but Yamaguchi showed better control to zoom to a 11-7 lead at the break. Saina showed tremendous grit to fight back from 9-16 down to narrow the difference but lost the game 19-21. She got a few points with her measured returns at the back line. However, a deceptive return of serve sealed it for the Japanese in the end. In the second game, Saina continued with the momentum from the last game to move to a 11-6 lead. The Indian’s good
in March. A former Test captain, he holds the record for the fastest one-day century, reaching three figures in just 31 balls against West Indies in January 2015. He also holds the record for the fastest Test century by a South African, making 100 from 75 balls against India in 2011. “AB is one of the all-time greats of South African cricket who has thrilled spectators around the world,” Cricket South Africa president Chris Nenzani said. “It goes without saying that he is going to be greatly missed wherever international cricket is played.” His final appearance for South Africa came in Johannesburg, where the Proteas beat Australia by 492 runs and clinched the series 3-1. He kept wicket on occasion and recently featured for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League. De Villiers added in his video message that he has “no plans” to play overseas, and he hopes to continue to be available for domestic cricket in South Africa.
shot selection helped her construct the rallies and cover the court well. Such was her dominance that the Japanese could only add three more points after the break. In the end it was another cross court smash that left Yamaguchi stranded and took the match to the decider. Saina showed good tactical acumen and backed it up with her strokes to lead 9-5 but Yamaguchi soon made it 8-10. A nicely-placed shot gave her the lead at the interval. Saina blunted Yamaguchi’s strokes with her great defence to move to 15-11. She played some superb late net strokes to bamboozle the Japanese. Yamaguchi managed to make it 16-18 before a long shot and an error at the net from Yamaguchi gave match points to Saina. The Japanese saved four match points after the Indian sent the shuttle wide. Another long shot by Saina gave match point to Yamaguchi as she sealed it with a smash.
Manchester United named most valuable football team
Manchester United finished second in the English Premier League.
PARIS, May 23 (Agencies): Manchester United may have finished second in the English Premier League this season but the club is top of the table in terms of overall value, according to a report by accounting firm KPMG on Wednesday. The Red Devils’ overall value increased five percent compared to 2017 to more than 3.2 billion euros (£2.8 billion pounds, $3.77 billion), beating Real Madrid
on 2.9 billion euros and FC Barcelona on 2.8 billion euros. “We calculate the assets of each club, if they own a stadium for example, the value of the players, but also the value of the brand or image with advertising contracts and their reach on social networks,” said Jacques Boussuge, head of sports advisory at KPMG. Of the 32 European clubs assessed, Bayern Mu-
nich came fourth with 2.55 billion euros, Juventus were ninth on 1.3 billion euros, with Paris Saint-Germain in 11th place, with an estimated value of 1.14 billion euros. “PSG is progressing... but it takes time and is limited by financial fair play regulations,” Boussuge said. In total, the financial value of the 32 clubs reached an estimated 32.5 billion euros, a 9 percent increase on 2017.
