Clean chit to CJI on harassment case Over 63.5% turnout in Phase-V; violence in J-K, WB panel were not submitted to Justice Ramana as he was part of the Committee when it was constituted. On April 25, Justice Ramana recused himself after the complainant expressed her reservations over his inclusion on the ground that he is a close friend of CJI and a regular visitor to his house.

In Justice Ramana’s place, Justice Bobde had inducted Justice Malhotra as the woman had also alleged that the Committee was not formed in accordance with Vishaka guidelines laid by the top court.

The allegations against the CJI had become public on April 20 when some news web portals had come out with the stories.

and her “worst fears” have come true shattering all hope of justice and redress from the highest Court of the land.

The woman, who issued a press statement, said that she will consult her lawyer and decide on the next steps.

“Today, I am at the verge of losing faith in the capacity of our system to deliver justice to the weak and vulnerable who are pitted against the powerful within the system itself,” she said, adding that the panel refused her plea to allow her to accompany a lawyer and video record the proceedings.

Further, she said she learnt from media that the CJI appeared before the committee to record his statement but she does not have any knowledge whether other persons who were aware of the allegations were called before the panel or not.

The woman said she was extremely “scared and terrified” because the InHouse Committee, has not given her justice or protection and said nothing about the absolutely mala fide dismissals and suspensions.

NEW DELHI, MAY 6 (PTI): Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi Monday got a clean chit from the Supreme Court’s In-House Inquiry Committee which “has found no substance” in the allegations of sexual harassment levelled against him by a former woman employee of the apex court.

The 3-member Committee, which completed its task in 14 days, proceeded ex-parte as the woman had opted out of the inquiry on April 30 after participating for three days.

A notice by the office of Supreme Court Secretary General said the report of the Committee, headed by Justice S A Bobde, “is not liable to be made public”.

The Committee, also comprising two woman judges of the apex court -Justices Indu Malhotra and Indira Banerjee -- had on May 1 recorded the statement of CJI who had appeared before it.

“The In-House Committee has found no substance in the allegations contained in the complaint dated April 19, 2019 of a former employee of the Supreme Court of India.

Please take note that in case

of Indira Jaising vs Supreme Court of India and Anr (2003), it has been held that the report of a committee constituted as a part of the In-House Procedure is not liable to be made public,” the notice said.

It further said: “The In House Committee has submitted its report dated May 5, 2019 in accordance with the In House Procedure, to the next senior judge competent to receive the report and also sent a copy to the judge concerned, namely, the CJI.” The Committee submitted its report to Justice Arun Mishra -- number four in seniority. After the CJI, Justice Bobde is the next senior most judge, followed by Justices N V Ramana, Arun Mishra and RF Nariman.

The jet had 73 passengers and five crew. Two children and a flight attendant were among the dead.

One witness said it was a “miracle” anyone escaped, the BBC reported.

The Superjet 100 was flying from Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport to Murmansk, a Russian city in the Arctic circle, when an emergency on board forced it to turn back to the airport.

Its crew sent a distress signal when “malfunctions” occurred in bad weather shortly after take-off at 6.02 p.m. (local time). After making an emergency landing at the airport, the plane’s engines caught fire on the runway, Aeroflot said, adding that the crew “did everything to save the passengers”.

The aircraft landed with full fuel tanks because the crew lost contact with air traffic controllers and decided it was too dangerous to dump fuel over Moscow, Russian news agency Interfax said.

Earlier reports said that the plane had landed on fire, but Interfax reported that the jet caught fire after a “very bumpy landing”.

“There were 78 people including crew members on board the plane. According to the updated info which the investigation has as of now, 37 people survived,” the Investigative Committee said in a statement.

“If we get 271 seats on our own, we will be very happy,” Madhav said in an interview with Bloomberg.

He further said that the BJP party will make up expected losses in the north Indian states it swept in 2014 with new gains in the country’s remote North East, as well as in the eastern states of West Bengal and Odisha, Madhav said.

Gogoi tweeted: “Modi’s ‘Corrupt No 1’ remark on Rajiv Gandhi, a martyr who sacrificed his life for country’s unity & integrity at the hands of terrorists exposes his meanness reflecting his frustration as he realises of losing the PMO & he doesn’t deserve to be a PM of a great nation like India.”

Condemning Modi for his comment, APCC general secretary Ranjan Bora said, “We don’t think that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has

any contribution towards the nation. He suddenly became the PM. After becoming the PM, he has been ruling the country with false promises and has cheated the public.

They have understood that they would no longer rain in power and such statements are reflection of that depression.”

Bora also said late Rajiv Gandhi was not only a “Prime Minister but was also a ‘Bharat Ratna’ who had sacrificed his life for the nation”.

Assam Muslims call bandh on May 8 GUWAHATI, MAY 6 (AGENCIES): At a time when the Gauhati High Court has issued a blanket ban on bandhs, a lesser known organization under name and style of Assam Muslim Autonomous Council Demand Committee has called for a state-wide bandh on May 8.

According to Northeast Now, the organization has raised several issues as its reasons behind calling for the shutdown.

These incidents include the Biswanath incident where a beef seller was allegedly beaten up, some latest statements by legislator Prasanta Phukan and the various inflammatory comments made by BJP legislator of Hojai Shiladitya Dev in recent times.

The organization leadership addressed the media announcing their decision to call for the bandh at the Dispur Press Club in Guwahati on Monday. The press interaction was addressed by former legislator and the president of the organization Rashidul Hoque Bahadur.

Falcon ‘Longleng’ reaches NE; joy in Naga Hills Guwahati, May 6 (IANS): The arrival of an Amur falcon in the Northeast as it heads back from Africa to its breeding grounds in northern China and Mongolia has cheered conservationists and other animal-lovers in the region.

Hundreds of people in India’s northeastern states, particularly in Nagaland, have rejoiced to hear the news of ‘Longleng’, one of the satellite-tagged long distance migratory birds entering the region and are anxiously waiting for it to reach its roosting site in Nagaland.

Dehradun-based Wildlife Institute of India’s senior scientist Suresh Kumar on Monday said that Longleng had reached a remote location of Manipur on Sunday evening.

“Female Amur falcon, Longleng, was satellitetagged in October 2016 from the roost site in Yaongyimchen Community Reserve in Longleng district of Nagaland and it is the only falcon that is currently being tracked.

“Longleng started on

its migration from Somalia to India on April 29. Upon leaving the African continent, it made a four-day, non-stop flight over the Arabian Sea, skirting the coastline of the Arabian peninsula and then flew along the coast of Gujarat and enter India over Surat town,” Suresh Kumar said.

On May 2, Longleng made its first stop in a forested tract in the Gadchiroli Forest Reserve in eastern Maharashtra, after covering a distance of close to 4,800 km. During the two years of tracking since 2016 on its return from Africa, Longleng, entering the Maharashtra coastline, would fly down to southern Karnataka close to Bengaluru or Mysuryu and after a stop-over of a few days, head back along the east coast to northeast India and then beyond.

“However, this year, Longleng interestingly headed straight across Maharashtra and almost straight in the direction of cyclone Fani that was moving up along the Bay of Bengal coast. Being a

12 more Rohingya Muslim youth rescued in Mizoram Aizawl, May 6 (IANS): The Mizoram Police have rescued 12 young Rohingya Muslim boys and girls, suspected to be victims of human trafficking, after they entered the bordering Northeast state from Bangladesh without valid travel documents, officials said on Monday. With this, as many as 43 young girls and boys of Nepali and Myanmarese Rohingya descent have been rescued by the Mizoram Police in the last fortnight.

“Acting on a tip-off, the police rescued eight young girls and four young boys from a house in Bawngkawn in Aizawl district late on Sunday. Those rescued were possibly victims of human trafficking,” Aizawl District Police Chief Karthik Kashyap told IANS, adding that the rescued have now been lodged at different protective and welfare homes after taking permission from the court.

A fortnight ago, the

Mizoram Police had rescued 23 teenage Nepali girls and eight Rohingya Muslim girls from two different locations in the state, who were also suspected to be victims of human trafficking.

“The police and the other law enforcement agencies are investigating the matter. The police have also been put on alert against human trafficking making Mizoram its corridor,” Kashyap said.

Another police officer

said that the 12 rescued youth told the police that they were from Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh and were abducted by a group of men in the third week of April and brought to Mizoram by truck.

According to the Border Security Force (BSF) and the police in Tripura, Mizoram and Assam, over 200 Rohingya Muslims were

detained during the past one year in Tripura, southern Assam and Mizoram after they fled the Rohingya refugee camps in Chittagong in southeast Bangladesh.

Over 738,000 Rohingya Muslims from the Rakhine state in western Myanmar have arrived in the refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh since the beginning of the ethinic troubles

there on August 25, 2017, following a wave of violence and persecution, which has been described by the United Nations as an attempt at “ethnic cleansing”.

On and off, the Rohingya Muslims from Bangladeshi refugee camps have entered the Northeastern states of India illegally in search of jobs or after being trapped in human trafficking.

terrestrial bird, the open sea crossing poses a challenge and as a result, Amur falcons make non-stop flights of three to five days or maybe more. Longleng’s arrival in India now marks its sixth successful crossing of the Arabian Sea and it is expected to arrive in the next few days in Nagaland once again,” he said.

Nuklu Phom, a conservation activist of Yaongyimchen village, said: “The arrival of Longleng and other migratory birds in this part of the country is a much waited event every year. It is one of the most

8 villages under water in Assam

Debris piles up at a switch gate on the Singra river at Boko in Kamrup district on Sunday. (Kulendu Kalita)

Aizawl, May 6 (PTI): Mizoram’s capital Aizawl on Monday recorded a maximum temperature of 36.7 degree Celsius, the hottest day in the last 20 years, officials said.

For Aizawlites, who live at the top of a hill, 1,132 metres from sea level, any temperature above 32 degree Celsius is always warm.

The minimum temperature Monday was 17.6 degree Celsius, they said.

The maximum temperature on Sunday was 33.4 degree Celsius while the minimum was 17.5, the officials said, adding that on Saturday the maximum was 33 and minimum was 18.2 degree Celsius. Monday was the hottest day ever in the history of Aizawl since 1999 when temperature recording began in the capital city, the officials said. Meanwhile, the cyclone Fani, which hit the state on Friday evening and Saturday resulted in some trees being uprooted and many districts including southern Mizoram’s Lunglei and Mizoram-BangladeshTripura border Mamit district being powerless for days, they said.

Guwahati, May 6 (Agencies): More than 3,000 bighas of land under paddy cultivation and eight villages were affected in flash floods after two days of heavy rainfall induced

by Cyclone Fani in lower Assam’s Boko constituency on Sunday.

According to The Telegraph, heavy rainfall in neighbouring Meghalaya caused the state’s Gijang and Dilseng rivers to flow over the danger level. Water from the two rivers then flew

into the Singra at Hahim in Boko on Saturday night. It washed away two bridges in Dirima and Balijhar. Wreckage of the bridges then got jammed in two switch gates of the Assam state irrigation department.

Altogether 11 of the 15 gates are jammed, which caused the flash floods in Dirima village.

A similar flash flood in the village had killed several livestock in 2014. This time, however, villagers managed to save their livestock before

Vegetable vendor’s daughter tops Mizoram board exam

Lalrinnungia

School Leaving Certificate (HSLC) exam with a score of 97.2% beating nearly 17,000 other candidates.

The youngest daughter of Zothanluanga and Lalhlimpuii was the centre of attention and people were

walking up to her to congratulate and click photos with her. “I have been helping my parents sell vegetables on Saturdays. But after the results were announced on Thursday and my name got splashed in papers, many people turned up to wish me,” said Lalrinnungi.

“I was expecting a good result but never thought I would be the topper. When I heard about it, I started crying. Some people even wanted me to shift from my school and join theirs,” she added. Lalrinungi is the youngest among four siblings. Her two elder brothers

dropped out of school due to the family’s financial situation and her elder sister is in Class 12. The teenager joined the St Joseph Higher Secondary School as a boarder when she was in Class 10 and plans to continue pursuing her studies there for the next two years.

She wants to take up science in Class 12. Happy at her performance, Lalrinnungi’s school has decided to waive off her tuition and hostel boarding fees completely. In view of her family’s financial condition, the school earlier charged her only 20% of the total fees.

90 jumbos killed in Assam since 2011 Guwahati, May 6 (Agencies): On May 2, a wild elephant ventured out of the wetlands of Kaziranga National Park and strayed towards the nearby villages. It proved to be a costly excursion. It ran into an electric fence put in place to protect paddy fields from wild elephants like itself.

The pachyderm was electrocuted to death instantly.

This was not a stray accident. Nearly 90 elephants have died of electrocution in Assam since 2011, according to the state’s forest department figures, news agency scroll.in reported.

The major reason for these deaths, say officials and activists, are illegal electric fences and ill-maintained sagging power lines.

With the human-elephant conflict reaching alarming proportions in Assam over the last couple of years, people living in areas frequented by wild elephants have been setting up electric fences to protect their farms and property.

But instead of using lowintensity direct current in these fences as is the norm, people often end up drawing current from high-powered domestic lines. “You are supposed to use non-lethal direct current through a solar-powered battery,” said a senior state forest official.

“The point is to repulse, not kill.”

Contrary to popular perception, the intensity of electricity required to repulse bigger animals like elephants is much lower than what would be needed to keep away a cow or a goat. “That is because the elephant occupies a larger surface area,” explained the forest official. “A 10-volt shock is more than enough to deter an elephant, but here people use 220-volt current from domestic lines.”

Assam’s wildlife experts say that the lack of

punishment emboldens people to erect illegal electric fences. “These are deliberate murders,” contended Bibhab Kumar Talukdar, who heads the well-known non-profit Aaranyak that works to protect wildlife and environment. “And since there is no consequence, people see no reason to fear anything. It is upon the police and the forest department to build strong cases against offenders, but that hardly ever happens – because there is this attitude, ‘oh it’s only an elephant, which has died not a human being.’”

Indeed, it took the death of one of the forest department’s staff employed in Sonitpur district’s Nameri National Park for it to really sit up and take notice – and act. In 2018, a forest official was electrocuted to death as he accidentally touched a fence connected to a high-powered domestic line meant to keep elephants at bay. “A massive awareness drive followed and an FIR was lodged,” said the

senior forest official. But conviction may not always deter, say others. Farmers are bound to retaliate if their fields are routinely destroyed by rampaging animals, said Kaushik Baruah,Guwahati’s honourary wildlife warden.

“Farmers need to be paid compensation in time,” said Baruah. “If we are proactive, we do not have to be reactive.”

A task-force comprising representatives from various departments, including the state’s electricity and forest departments, has been in place since 2016 – but deaths have continued.

The role of the electricity department has also come under scrutiny. Experts say that the department is squarely to blame for electrocution deaths caused by low-hanging power lines.

“They have arbitrarily drawn power lines everywhere, electrifying even encroached forest land,” alleged Bhaskar Choudhury, who heads the Assam zone of the Wildlife Trust of India.

G a n g t o k , M ay 6 (Agencies): Sikkim chief secretary A K Shrivastava on Sunday convened a meeting of all concerned departments to discuss about preparedness for the ensuing monsoon season.

According to Northeast Now, the meeting convened at the conference hall of the new secretariat at Tashiling in Gangtok was headed

by Sikkim State Disaster Management Authority (SSDMA) chairman V K Sharma, Land Revenue special secretary Rinzing Chewang and additional director G C Khanal. Heads and representatives of state government departments, armed forces, paramilitary forces, government of India agencies and NGOs attended the meeting to discuss about preparedness for the monsoon. This was stated in an official press release. The chief secretary in his address stated that Sikkim is placed strategically in the geographical map of the country. Being blessed with rich natural biodiversity, the State is also prone to natural hazards like heavy monsoons and also falls on a critical seismic zone, and hence, requires alertness from all the disaster relief related departments and organizations. The chief secretary acknowledged that despite these hardships, the concerned officials have been working impressively towards dealing with disasters effectively and encouraged all to continue with their vigilance.

GUWAHATI, MAY 6 (AGENCIES): It was an usual weekend routine for 16-year-old Lalrinnungi, who was helping her parents sell vegetables at the daily market in a village in Mizoram, this Saturday.

According to Hindustan Times, though the customers at the market in Neihbawi village, 15km from from the state capital of Aizwal, were used to seeing the teenager, the scene was not the same as other weekends. It was because the student of St Joseph Higher Secondary School had topped the state’s High

the waters gushed in.

The water damaged paddy fields in the nearby villages.

The Singra river water also washed away a wooden bridge connecting Balijhar and Chamaria villages, debris from which jammed seven out of 10 gates of the Baruapathar switch gate.

Flash floods caused six villages of Pahartoli, Bharalipara, Bederbasti, Fotamara, Moukhuwa and Makeli to go under water on Saturday night.

Villagers took shelter on a nearby hill and on Sunday stayed in a temporary flood relief camp at Barua-Pahartoli Lower Primary School.

The villages could be brought up to the camp because of an initiative by Balijhar market secretary Abdul Aziz and Baruagaon gaon panchayat president Akram Hussain.

Hussain said more than 300 families from the affected villages have been taking shelter in the camp and because of the negligence of the state irrigation department thousand bighas of paddy fields were washed away causing villagers to lose their crops. He said the administration had not taken any initiative for the villagers so far.

Asked about clearing the switch gates which have been jammed for the past 16 hours, Boko irrigation department sub-divisional officer Dhrubajyoti Baishya said he would take help from the Assam State Disaster Relief Force to try and clear the gates. He said he failed to clear the switch gates because of inadequate number of employees.

Unemployment bomb

O

ut of around 8000 candidates who passed the recent HSSLC examination 2019 it is expected that around 5000 would graduate out of colleges under Nagaland University in the coming years. That many graduates are expected to add to the already growing number of unemployed in Nagaland. There are approximately around nearly 1,00,000 unemployed graduates in the state as per estimates. This is indeed a very serious matter which needs to be properly addressed. It is a ticking time bomb that is going to explode in the next 10-15years given the unemployment rate of growth and leaves us all in a befuddle condition with an insurmountable task of coming to a solution. In the year 2016, there were 70,422 unemployed youths registered in the life register of the Department of Labor & Employment, that was two years ago by 2018 the number must have jumped to above hundred thousand unemployed youths. Unemployment has been Out of the staggering number of students graduating barely, 2000-3000 will see employment in both Government jobs and self-employment. The biggest problem is what will happen to the rest?

There is hardly any small scale industry and this has compounded the issue. Thousands continue to run from pillar to post seeking employment but there are no openings except the few hundred in the government. This has only made the government and its sectors as the only agencies for employment. The number of employed is approximately 10% of the total population of Nagaland that also includes work-charged employees. That there are around one lakh unemployed graduates is like a time bomb. This is a staggering number and which is almost double the normal ratio in almost all states. Efforts at imparting skills to youths is a positive step but then after the short term training, jobs opportunities do not expand but remain limited. Even government jobs are not enough when the competition is stiff and any presumed favour or even leniency has the potential of exploding into charges of corruption. There had been several accusations over such selection procedures in the past and though the official explanation may have some ground, yet does not remove that lingering suspicion of some dubious procedures. All the charges may not stand scrutiny yet there cannot be smoke also without fire too. Till today, despite several years of expansion of government through bifurcation of departments or creation of new ones and also the policy of promoting entrepreneurship; unemployment continues to rise. These efforts have proved incapable of absorbing a significant segment among the rising number of unemployed youth in the state. To add to the problem, the state’s economy is on unsure ground, no industries and restricted opportunities for investments in private enterprises owing to the feeling of insecurity. Since private enterprise is the key, the quantum of jobs likely to be created within a time frame through some ventures, should be prepared. However, private enterprise can only thrive in a congenial environment and absence of which, has had a negative impact on the growth of the economy. A long term objective needs to be spelt out and action taken in this regard which also includes the necessity of decisively implementing an economic vision that can be sustained and bring long term benefits to the people.

DailyDevotion Liberty and the Standards of Jesus Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free… —Galatians 5:1 A spiritually-minded person will never come to you with the demand— “Believe this and that”; a spiritually-minded person will demand that you align your life with the standards of Jesus. We are not asked to believe the Bible, but to believe the One whom the Bible reveals (see John 5:39-40). We are called to present liberty for the conscience of others, not to bring them liberty for their thoughts and opinions. And if we ourselves are free with the liberty of Christ, others will be brought into that same liberty— the liberty that comes from realizing the absolute control and authority of Jesus Christ.

Always measure your life solely by the standards of Jesus. Submit yourself to His yoke, and His alone; and always be careful never to place a yoke on others that is not of Jesus Christ. It takes God a long time to get us to stop thinking that unless everyone sees things exactly as we do, they must be wrong. That is never God’s view. There is only one true liberty— the liberty of Jesus at work in our conscience enabling us to do what is right.

Don’t get impatient with others. Remember how God dealt with you— with patience and with gentleness. But never water down the truth of God. Let it have its way and never apologize for it. Jesus said, “Go…and make disciples…” (Matthew 28:19), not, “Make converts to your own thoughts and opinions.”

Quotes

Irrationally held truths may be more harmful than reasoned errors. ~ Thomas Huxley

M

any years ago, I asked a stylish, older, film actress from Mumbai whether she would be the ambassador of my animal welfare organization People for Animals. I had been to her house twice for dinner, and she had made the most amazing vegetarian food, and kept grumbling about how awful meat was.

She refused, and her explanation was that while she did not eat meat generally, she could not do without pate foie gras.

Everyday.

Pate Foie Gras is French for fat liver paste.

It is a luxury item because few countries allow it to be made, due to the extreme cruelty involved. It is the cancerous liver of a duck or goose fattened by force in a process known as gavage.

Birds spend their lives in semi-darkness. Till 8 weeks old they are confined to cages to prevent exercise, and fed a diet designed to promote rapid growth.

Force-feeding begins when the birds are between 8 and 10 weeks old. For 12 to 21 days, ducks and geese are subjected to gavage.

Every day, between 2 and 4 pounds of grain and fat are forced down the birds’ throats through a feeding tube. The tube “is pushed 5 inches down their throats, and more food than they want is gunned into their stomachs three times a day.

If the mushy corn sticks … a stick is sometimes used to force it down.”

The birds’ livers, which become engorged from a carbohydrate-rich diet, grow to be more than 10 times their normal size (a disease called “hepatic steatosis”). Most of the ducks/geese are lame and unable to walk without using their wings for support. Some ducks moved by

pushing their bodies along the floor. All of them are severely stressed and ill.

Most throats develop skin lesions and neck wounds, and get maggots in them.

The carcasses show wing fractures and severe tissue damage to the throat muscles.

When the bird’s liver weighs 2 or 3 lb (1.0–1.5 kg), (these livers are felt every day by farm workers, causing even more pain to the bird that is already in agony from the unnatural feeding and damage to its food pipe, its forced restraints and its huge liver), its throat is slit and the liver taken out. The rest of the bird is thrown away.

French chef JeanJoseph Clause created and popularized pâté de foie gras in 1779, and was awarded a gift of twenty pistols by King Louis XVI (probably to kill more animals). He obtained a patent for the dish in 1784 and began a business supplying pâté to the rich. By 1827, Strasberg (and now Toulouse ) was known as the goose-liver capital of the world.

Pâté is made by removing the veins, gristle and membrane. The liver is chopped and made into a paste combined with wine, salt, herbs, mushrooms and sometimes veal (which is the meat of a baby calf starved to death so that its meat turns white). This paste is pressed down to form a cake. The product is exported to all parts of the world in several forms—the paste in tins, the plain cooked livers, sausages and purée. Pate is served as an appetizer with bread or crackers.

France produces more than 20,000 tons of foie gras each year. Only five countries still produce foie gras: Belgium, Romania,

Nagaland Post, Dimapur TUESDAY, MAY 7, 2019

Without using animal Spain, France and Hungary.

In July 2014 India banned the impor t of foie gras. Its production is banned in 35 countries, including Australia, Argentina, Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Turkey, Ireland, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Israel and the United Kingdom. However, foie gras can still be imported into, and purchased in, these countries.

The European Union is working to phase out the force-feeding of birds entirely by 2020.

While it is banned in California, it is made in a few goose/duck farms in America.

Foie gras is unhealthy for humans. It derives 85 percent of its calories from fat: A 2-ounce serving contains 25 grams of fat and 85 milligrams of cholesterol.

Companies all over the world are now working furiously on creating meat from animal cells. The end product already has a name : clean meat. The science for cultured meat is an outgrowth of the field of biotechnology known as tissue engineering.

The initial stage of growing cultured meat is to collect cells that proliferate rapidly - embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells, myosatellite cells or myoblasts.

The cells are treated by applying a protein that promotes tissue growth.

They are then placed in a culture medium, in a bio-reactor, which is able to supply the cells with the energy requirements they need. Nutrients and oxygen are delivered close to each growing cell.

To culture three-dimensional meat, the cells are grown on an edible scaffold.

It has been claimed that, conditions being ideal, two months of cultured meat production could deliver up to 50,000 tons of meat from ten pork muscle cells. Scientists have already identified growth media for turkey, fish, sheep and pig muscle cells.

Once the scale and cost are dealt with, the price of cultured, or clean meat, will come down to the same levels as animal meat.

A company called Hampton Creek Foods, founded in 2011 in California by Josh Tetrick and Josh Balk, has chosen to make Pate Foie Gras in this way.

With its team of food scientists, biochemists, and engineers, Hampton Creek is a technology rather than a food company. As of 2014, it has secured $30 million in funding, and is backed by six billionaires including Bill Gates, Jerry Yang (Founder of Yahoo), and Li Ka-Shing, the wealthiest

person in Asia. Gates’ 2013 documentary, The Future of Food, features the company. Hampton Creek has signed agreements with Fortune 500 companies and is now valued at 1 billion dollars. Its food is sold across the States and many of its items, like eggalternative mayonnaise, are the highest sellers of their kind, beating the egg based varieties.

They are now spending millions of dollars making the world’s first clean foie gras, while developing cell lines for various other meats. Like most of the clean food companies in America, many of their scientists are Indian.

One of those scientists is a stem cell biologist called Aparna Subramanian who grows the farm animal cell lines. She takes the birds from a local farm and removes some cells for the starting material.

Why Pate? The company feels that it is a high end luxury product which is technically easier to make by multiplying cells, and which chefs and foodies want as it is a status symbol. Because it is already so expensive, getting a cultured version of it to be cost-competitive is easier than trying to compete with other poultry products at first.

Liver is easier and cheaper to grow than muscle. If you feed liver cells a lot of sugar, they get fattier and fattier, to the point where they mimic the hepatic lipidosis that’s induced in ducks and geese when they’re force-fed to produce the delicacy.

Trials are on to get the cultured fatty liver to the exact taste of the current foie gras in the market – since no traditional pate eater cares about the cruelty part. “Until it scores

better than the force-fed version on our blind tests, not a single consumer will buy this product” The company projects that Hampton Creek’s product will be “the world’s highest-grade foie gras.”

The current sales of foie gras are $3 billion globally. Its sale is banned in California (banned in 2004

by Arnold Schwarzenegger, it overcame all its legal challenges to become operative in 2017) so, if Hampton Creek became the first company to be allowed to sell Foie Gras in California, it would headline the progress that clean meats are making.

“Foie gras is regarded by top chefs as perhaps the most prized animal product today. It can be sold for upto a hundred dollars a pound. ” Tasters of the Hampton Creek pate say the pâté is meaty, rich, buttery, savoury, and very decadent.

Hampton Creek wants to be the world’s largest meat company by 2030 – producing tones of blue fin tuna, Kobe beef and chicken meat of all kinds – without using a single animal . “We want to render the current model of meat production totally obsolete.

Our goal is to make meat so obviously better, that there’d never be a reason to choose the conventional kind.”

The plan right now is to commercialise Pate Foie Gras , the first cultured meat of an animal product made without using animal.

Once it is on the market I will send masses of it to the actress, and then perhaps she will agree to be our brand ambassador.

Post-mortem

Are there some earthbound responsibilities that Nagas are trying to evade?

I

n my last article, I had shared on how the invisible God has created the visible material world and put man in it. In this present article, I want to focus on the responsibilities that the invisible God has put on visible man to run the affairs of the material world. And in discussing the implications of these earthly responsibilities, I want to focus it on the 71 years Indo-NagaBurmese conflict. But before we proceed any further, let us first be clear that the creation of this material world was neither an accident nor an afterthought on the part of the creator. This becomes very clear when we read Isaiah 45:18 where the word of God says: “For this is what the Lord says- he, who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty; but formed it to be inhabited.” As for the specific social responsibilities at the individual, family and national levels, we cannot go into details in an article like this. But suffice is to say that the running of the whole planet earth (including ecology) has been given to mankind. That

responsibility is summed up in the Bible in the following words: “And God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion... over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth...and subdue it...” (KJV Gen.1:26-28).

In short, dominion ship and ruler ship of the planet earth is the responsibility God has given to man. This however does not mean that man can rule the earth autonomously without any reference to God who in the first place created the material world and man to run it. This is made clear in Denial 4:17 & 35 where it says: “ so that the living may know that the most high is sovereign over all the kingdoms of man and gives them to anyone he wishes...He does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold back his hand or say to him: What have you done?”

(NIV).

In this heaven and earth political connection, national and international political issues very much come under the scope of our responsibility on earth.

This is more so because long

before anyone of us were born into the world, the sovereign God had already predetermined both our national as well as geographical identities (See Acts 17:26 or Duet. 32:8). In these verses and many others, we find that each nation on earth is bequeathed their own national sovereignty and their own geographical territories.

It is also very clear, that no bigger nations have been given custody or ownership of any other smaller nations under heaven. Rather than any such authorization, God condemned and pronounced judgement against the King of Assyria for saying thus: “By the strength of my hand I have done this, and by my wisdom because I have understanding. I removed the boundaries of nations, I plundered their treasures, like a mighty one, I subdued their kings (Is.10:13). In subsequent events of history, the utter destruction of the Assyrian empire by the Persian and Babylonian kings is recorded in both Biblical and secular historical records.

These historical events shows that the kingdom of God indeed rules in the kingdoms of man

(See Dan. 4:32).

Coming to the Indo-NagaBurmese context, every Naga citizen has a duty and obligation to defend their God given national and geographical identities. In our case, we are only defending our already sanctioned sovereignty over our lands and our affairs. This sanction and authority has come from the very throne of God. And as such, we are not demanding our independence from either India or Burma or for that matter, any other nations in the whole face of the earth. We are simply demanding our Piece of Peace in our Piece of land. However, in the same context, both India and Burma have lost a lot of their soldiers in the past 71 years of conflict with Nagaland and other neighbouring states.

After achieving their independence, instead of letting their soldiers rest from war and enjoy the fruits of peace, the Indian government and the Burmese governments sent their soldiers to war claiming territories that never belonged to India or Burma in human history. How these soldiers have died in our lands fighting in a totally foreign

Golden handshake – Solution for excess govt. employees

N

agaland is said to be the state having the highest number of govt. employees in comparison with its average population. This has been found to be one of the major drawback where all the funds sent by the centre meant for developmental activities in the state are diverted in paying the salaries of the govt. employees which has only resulted in poor infrastructures, bad road conditions and erratic power supply with corruption adding to its woes more. Many departments are overstaffed and this excess employee has not only overburdened the state treasury but also making the people more lazy and dependent on govt. services only. If only half of the govt.

employees in our state were engaged in agriculture or various trades and business sector, Nagaland would not have been complaining of the influx of illegal immigrants too. Getting their salary every month with or without work has made many employees insincere, lazy and incompetent. This has resulted in the poor performance on many fronts. Many individuals who have talents in various fields are drawn by the easy money of the govt. jobs and therefore have killed their own talents.

Due to over-dependency on govt. jobs of our people, parents force their children and wards to join govt. services by hook or by crook which our political leaders and bureaucrats have no choice but to ap-

point them through backdoors which has completely hampered the economic growth of the state. Either the govt. employees are over-qualified or under-qualified but they all may have been more fruitful and productive if we tap their energy and talents in other avenues.

One of the best examples is the Education Department where many untrained teachers who are now compulsorily required to have a B.Ed degree but cannot do so as many of them have secured below the required qualifying percentage. There are many young qualified aspirants who have the required qualification but cannot get employment due to excess appointments.

In this, the govt. should give

a Golden Handshake to the untrained and unqualified teachers who are presently in the service by giving them 10 years salary in advance with pension benefits. This way unemployment problem too can be solved in our state. Added with this, a more productive, trained and qualified teachers will be absorbed in the educational system too. For those who opts for the voluntary retirement can invest their 10 years salary in some ventures that will not only benefit them but also the society and the state. The minimum voluntary retirement age should also be brought down to atleast 15 years from the present 20 years.

terrain and culture is a tragic story altogether. So tragic has been this story, that it appears as if these soldiers lost their independence the day their countries gained their respective independence.

As for the Naga side of the story, no nation in the world can ever accuse the Nagas of not having done enough in defending their independence and sovereignty. But having done all that we could, every Naga also knows that we are all still living under the shadows of two foreign countries and their flags. But despite these obvious facts, most Nagas seems to have resigned from their national responsibilities. In the present circumstances, what would baffle the world would be the indifference and desperate attempts at evasion of the issue by most of the educated Nagas. Here we all must realize that indifference or evasion of responsibility never produces a solution to the problem. On the contrary indifference and evasion of a problem only leads to further complications and multiplication of the problem.

Reader’s Post

Sir,

Dust pollution

For the past few weeks, rain has been keeping the pollution level down especially on the highway stretch where drainages are being constructed. While I have seen a vehicle watering down the dust around that area it is not enough as one vehicle cannot cover the entire stretch. It was a good thing that rains poured down steadily over the last few days. However, the dry windy season is back and pollution level is bound to rise again. One can only hope and pray that construction of the drainages will be completed at top speed. No doubt, great effort is being put into the construction work, it is imperative that some alternative is taken up to bring down the pollution level. Dust pollution is very dangerous for all living beings, especially for young children who are travelling to and from school.

Modi’s ‘corrupt no.1’ remark: Cong moves EC

Congress leaders Abhishek Singhvi, Rajeev Shukla, Salman Khurshid and others after meeting with Chief CEC, at Nirvachan Bhawan in New Delhi, Monday. (PTI)

Ranchi, May 6 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday challenged the Congress to fight the last two phases of polls for the honour of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.

“Today I challenge Congress and ‘namdar’ family from this land to fight the coming Lok Sabha polls of Delhi, Punjab and Bhopal for the honour of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi who faced corruption allegations over Boforos (howitzer gun for the Indian Army in the late eighties).

“I spoke one word about Rajiv Gandhi, and it appeared to have stung like a scorpion to them,” said Modi while addressing a rally at Chaibasa of Jharkhand on Monday.

Last week Modi at an election rally in Uttar Pradesh had commented about former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi “ending his life as bhrashtachari (corrupt) number one,” trig-

gering an uproar in political circles with Congress President Rahul Gandhi hitting back by saying “karma awaits” Modi.

“They do not have respect for the post of Prime Minister. For the last one year, they have been abusing Prime Minister and his family. Their cry will expose them more. The current generation of youth will come to know how one family looted and damaged the country,” said the Prime Minister.

“Thousands of people died in Bhopal gas tragedy and what was done after the gas tragedy?,” Modi asked, adding the Congress should fight Bhopal and Punjab polls for “his (Rajiv Gandhi’s) honour”.

“Fight the election over Bofors allegations,” said Modi. “Accept my challenge. Enough lies have been told by the Congress and the adulterated alliance,” he said.

NEW DELHI, MAY 6 (PTI): The Election Commission has given clean chit to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in two more cases, sources aware of the development said Monday.

The Congress had alleged that he held a “roadshow” in Ahmedabad on April 23 and the sources said the commission has concluded that Modi did not violate the model code and the election law.

They said that the commission has also cleared Modi for his April 9 speech at Chitradurga in Karnataka where he had reportedly asked new voters to dedicate their vote for the heroes of the Balakot air strike.

On the same day, he had made a similar appeal in Ausa in Latur district of Maharashtra. The EC had given a clean chit to him in that case as well, but one of the election commissioners had given a dissenting view in the matter. Though the commission has so far not made the two decisions public, with these decisions, Modi has been given a clean

Narendra Modi

chit in eight matters. The poll authorities in Gujarat are learnt to have maintained that prima facie no violation was found.

The Cong ress had moved the EC alleging that Modi took out a “roadshow” after casting his vote and made political remarks in violation of the Model Code of Conduct.

After casting his vote in Ahmedabad, Modi walked some distance from the polling booth and interacted briefly with media persons.

Earlier, the EC had cleared six speeches of Modi, two of Shah and one of Congress chief Rahul

Gandhi. Gandhi had been issued a show cause notice for his Madhya Pradesh speech in which he had reportedly said that the government has enacted a new law which allows tribals to be shot. On March 19, the EC had issued an advisory asking parties not to invoke armed forces in their political campaign.

The commission has now submitted a report to the Supreme Court of the cases related to Modi and Shah that it has disposed.

Alleging delay on EC’s part, the Congress had moved the top court for a remedy. The matter would come up for hearing on Wednesday.

BJP ally Prakash Rajbhar quits Adityanath govt in UP Ballia (UP), May 6 (PTI): Known for blowing hot and cold against ally BJP, Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj Party chief Om Prakash Rajbhar claimed on Monday he has resigned from the Yogi Adityanath government and it was up to the saffron party to decide on it.

“I tendered resignation as minister on April 13. It is up to the BJP to decide whether to accept or reject it,” Rajbhar, a Om Prakash Rajbhar (File) cabinet minister in the UP here.

Lok Sabha election in the state alone and announced candidates on 39 seats, prompting BJP leader and Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya to say that “Rajbhar has has been with the BJP and will remain with it”.

But he has continued with his criticism of the BJP, alleging it was trying to weaken his party.

the state. He also claimed that the BJP was worried over Congress chief Rahul Gandhi’s continuous attacks on it.

Rajbhar has fielded candidates on some 40 of the 80 Lok Sabha seats in the state after he failed to have an understanding with the BJP for Lok Sabha polls and has making adverse comments against the bigger NDA partner.

The Rajbhars constitute 20 per cent of the Purvanchal population and are regarded as the second-

most politically dominant community after Yadavs in eastern UP, parts of which will vote during the sixth and seventh phase polls on May 12 and 19, respectively.

The Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj Party won four seats in 2017 UP assembly elections.

Rajbhar had said the BJP was under an impression it could win all 80 Lok Sabha seats in the state and 400 seats in the country “but the reality will dawn on May 23”.

The SBSP chief alleged the BJP was misusing his party’s name and flag in the election under way. “Even during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s roadshow, they were used.

I have filed a complaint in this regard with the Election Commission,” Rajbhar said.

Rajbhar has often publicly criticised the BJP, its ally in Uttar Pradesh.

Last month, he said his party will contest the

Fight last two phases for Rajiv’s honour, Modi tells Cong

ments for cheap electoral gains”, the Congress leader said, noting the remarks were not worthy of a person occupying the top post in the country.

Singhvi said after almost 14 years, a petition was filed against Rajiv Gandhi and the same was turned down by the Supreme Court on November 2, 2018.

“I want to ask whether this country is run by the rule of law or the statement of the prime minister,” Singhvi said.

He also accused Modi and other BJP leaders of indulging in blatant viola-

and malicious attempt to malign the former prime minister’s image has gone this far ahead with his false accusations only to further his election propaganda”.

“Usage of such obscene/derogatory language by the prime minister is not only defamatory but also violates the directions of the Model Code of Conduct that must be strictly observed and followed,” the Congress said.

“Yet again we are constrained to beseech this Commission and remind it of its constitutional powers under Article 324 of the Constitution. So far, this election has recorded the greatest number of lapses — deliberately and maliciously — by a sitting prime minister in recorded history.

A complete lack of action against the prime minister has made these actions all the more egregious. The ECI must not let its sanctity be compromised.

“We hope the Commission deems this a matter worth addressing and treats it with the urgency it deserves,” the party said in its complaint to EC.

(to complete) and there should be an immediate ban on the prime minister’s campaigning and a notice of 24 hours should be given at the most and action should come within 48 hours,” he said.

On Saturday at a poll rally in Uttar Pradesh, Prime Minister Modi said that the life of Congress chief Rahul Gandhi’s father and former PM Rajiv Gandhi had ended as “bhrashtachari number 1”.

Singhvi said it seemed the PM was not aware of the Indian culture. He has a “tendency to make state-

tion of laws. “We want to ask, who is telling a lie, who is indulging in misleading campaign, and distortion of facts,” he said.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, meanwhile, said that while the Congress chief and his party can criticise an honest prime minister as a “chor” (thief) and no model code is preventing them from saying so, but if the PM calls the Congress legacy “corrupt”, the grand old party demands action against him and files complaints to the EC. “Are there two Model Codes of Conduct,” Jaitley asked in a tweet.

The Congress in its memorandum to the EC requested for urgent and necessary censures/strictures against Modi for using obscene/derogatory remarks for the late Rajiv Gandhi.

“The derogatory remarks by Mr. Narendra Modi are not only unbecoming of a prime minister but have also met with widespread condemnation from across the country,” the memorandum said.

The party also said that despite the court’s orders, the prime minister in a “vile

New Delhi, May 6 (PTI): The Congress approached the Election Commission on Monday, seeking action against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, including a ban on his campaigning, for his remarks against former PM Rajiv Gandhi.

A team of Congress leaders, comprising Abhishek Singhvi, Rajiv Shukla and Salman Khurshid, met the Election Commissioners and demanded that the EC take immediate action against Modi for his remarks, which they termed “uncultured, illegal and against Indian traditions”.

“We have sought an immediate ban on the prime minister’s campaign. We have emphasised to the Election Commission that it is very important for its own credibility, as the EC had kept complaints pending for over 30 days in the past,” Singhvi told reporters.

He said the Congress has so far made 11 complaints with the EC, but no action has been taken, despite going to the Supreme Court.

contraction, for an 11th consecutive month.

“Although the Indian private sector economy looks to be settling into a weaker growth phase, much of the slowdown was linked to disruptions arising from the elections and companies generally foresee improvements once a government is formed,” said Pollyanna De Lima, principal economist at IHS Markit.

Voting in the election began on April 11 and ends on May 19. Results will be announced on May 23.

Mumbai, May 6 (PTI): The rupee Monday fell by 18 paise to close at 69.40 against the US dollar as renewed trade war worries following US President Donald Trump’s threat to raise tariffs on Chinese imports sent markets into a tailspin and triggered flight of capital to safe bets.

New Delhi, May 6 (Agencies): India’s services sector expanded at its slowest pace in seven months in April as some businesses postponed decisions and expansion plans until seeing results of the general election currently underway, a private survey showed on Monday.

The Nikkei/IHS Markit Services Purchasing Managers’ Index slipped to 51.0 in April, the lowest since September, down from 52.0 the previous month.

It remained above the 50 mark, the threshold separating growth from

pace in 10 months, a sub-index tracking new business slipped to a 7-month low of 51.2 in April from March’s 52.3 as firms raised prices slightly more sharply - although still modestly.

With inflation below its medium-term target, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) cut its main interest rate twice in the run-up to the election - which was possible because inflation has remained low compared with previous years.

“The lack of inflationary pressures in both the manufacturing and service sectors, which coupled with slower economy growth, offers room for a further cut to the benchmark repurchase rate,” Ms De Lima said.

Factory output also expanded at a weaker pace in April than the previous month amid uncertainty about what policies the new government might adopt.

That brought down the composite PMI to its lowest in seven months at 51.7.

Still, firms increased hiring in April as they remained optimistic about the coming year, the survey found.

In Israel, four civilians were killed.

Meanwhile, UN Secretary-Gernal Antonio Gu-

terres condemned “in the strongest terms the launching of rockets from Gaza into Israel, particularly the targeting of civilian population centres”, Efe news reported.

End rocket attacks on Israel: Trump warns Palestinians

A Palestinian sits on the rubble of a building destroyed by an Israeli air strike in Gaza.

Tel Aviv, May 6 (IANS): The Israeli military said on Monday that it had lifted all protective restrictions, amid a reported ceasefire with militants in Gaza that ended two days of violence.

Since Saturday morning, Palestinian militants in Gaza have launched 690 rockets towards southern Israel. Israel responded with over 320 attacks on military positions, making it the most significant escalation of violence since the 2014 Israel-Gaza conflict.

At the same time, the

Israeli air force also carried out massive strikes in Gaza, bombing buildings and militant targets throughout the besieged Palestinian enclave.

“As of 7 a.m., all protective restrictions in the home front will be lifted,” Xinhua news agency quoted an Israeli military spokesperson as saying in a statement. Following the statement, most educational institutions across the south announced they will resume classes after they were closed on Sunday in the wake of

the abrupt violence.

The Israeli government is yet to release an official statement about the ceasefire.

In Gaza, Al-Aqsa TV, an official Hamas-run channel, reported that the ceasefire agreement between the armed groups in the Gaza Strip and Israel went into effect before dawn.

Israel’s Haaretz newspaper reported that the deal was brokered by Egyptian, Qatari and UN officials.

At least 23 Palestinians were killed, including

Washington, May 6 (PTI): The US supports Israel “100 per cent” in its defence against a barrage of deadly rocket attacks by militant groups in Gaza, US President Donald Trump has said, warning Palestinians that such actions would bring them “nothing but more misery”.

Tensions flared up on Saturday between Israel and Palestine with massive rocket fire from Gaza, drawing waves of Israeli retaliatory strikes which continued throughout Sunday. At least 23 Palestinians, including at least nine militants, were killed.

Four civilians in Israel were killed, at least three of them Israeli citizens.

“Once again, Israel faces a barrage of deadly

rocket attacks by terrorist groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad. We support Israel 100 per cent in its defense of its citizens,” “ Trump said in a tweet on Sunday.

“To the Gazan people — these terrorist acts against Israel will bring you nothing but more misery. End the violence and work towards peace - it can happen!” Trump said in a tweet.

According to media reports, the militant groups have fired about 600 rockets towards Israel. In response, Israel has launched about 250 air strikes against terrorist groups in the region.

The flare-up comes despite a truce brokered

by Egypt last month. It is one of the most surges in violence since the conflict of July and August 2014.

Government fighters exchange fire with Khalifa Haftar’s Libyan National Army in Espiaa, near Tripoli.

Tripoli, May 6 (IANS): The UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) on Sunday called for a one-week truce in the capital Tripoli, which is witnessing ongoing clashes between the UNbacked government and the east-based army.

“The UNSMIL calls for an extendable one-week humanitarian truce starting at four in the morning of the first day of Ramadan, May 6, in accordance with the spirit of this month as well as the Human Rights Convention, during which all parties pledge to halt

all forms of military operations, including reconnaissance, shelling, sniper operations, and mobilization of forces,” the mission said in a statement, Xinhua reported.

The UNSMIL urged Libyan parties to “allow the delivery of humanitarian aid to those in need and to ensure the freedom of movement for civilians during this truce.”

“The mission encourages all parties to use the truce to exchange prisoners and the bodies of the deceased and expresses its

readiness to provide the necessary support in this regard,” the mission added.

The army, led by Khalifa Haftar, has been leading a military campaign since early April to take over the capital Tripoli from the government.

The fighting has so far killed nearly 400 people, injured almost 2,000 others, and forced more than 50,000 people to flee their homes.

Libya has been suffering escalating violence and political division ever since the fall of the late leader Gaddafi’s regime in 2011.

Sharif will return to jail on Tuesday May looking at second Brexit vote options if talks fail

Nawaz Sharif (File) May 7 as the apex court rejected his review petition seeking permission to go to the UK for the treatment.

“Nawaz Sharif will return to Kot Lakhpat Jial Lahore on Tuesday in a

procession of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) workers.

A call has been given to the workers to gather at the Jati Umra residence of Sharif to march towards the jail along with him,” PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb told PTI on Monday.

She said the PML-N workers are eager to come to roads against Prime Minister Imran Khan’s anti-people policies and they are waiting a call from the leadership.

“Sharif did not want to go to jail in procession but the workers insisted him for this,’ she added.

LO N D O N , M ay 6 (Agencies): British Prime Minister Theresa May has carried out “scenario planning” for a second Brexit referendum in case she is forced by parliament to hold one, the Daily Telegraph newspaper reported on Monday.

May is hoping to find a way to get parliament to approve a Brexit plan without another public vote, but talks with the opposition Labour Party on a compromise exit strategy have yet to reach an agreement.

The Telegraph reported that May had discussions with officials and ministers about holding a referendum that would give voters the choice between leaving the European Union with a deal, leaving without a deal, or not leaving at all.

The report cited unnamed government sources, who said the referendum plan would only Theresa May (File) become relevant if talks with Labour failed and The Telegraph said a a majority in parliament source in May’s office desupported holding another nied there had been a meetpublic vote. ing to discuss a second EU

referendum.

Britain’s 2016 vote to leave the EU, which was split 52 percent for Brexit and 48 percent against it, has continued to divide the country and paralyse the political system. May’s minority government missed a March 29 exit date and there is huge uncertainty over how, when, and even if Britain will leave.

May has publicly opposed holding a second referendum.

She has said that if talks with Labour fail, parliament will be asked to

vote on series of options on how to break the impasse, but those options have not been decided yet.

Talks with Labour, which has pledged conditional support for a second referendum, are due to resume on Tuesday and May’s ministers have spent recent days talking up the prospect of a swift deal.

However leaked details on a possible compromise have angered Labour’s negotiators, and lawmakers from both sides have expressed their opposition to a cross-party deal.

ISRO to launch RISAT-2BR1 from Sriharikota on May 22 NEW DELHI, MAY 6 (AGENCIES): Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is set to launch its Radar Imaging Satellite, the RISAT-2BR1, on May 22 from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh. The RISAT, a remote sensing satellite, provide allweather surveillance using synthetic aperture radars (SAR). RISAT’s are the first all-weather observation satellites from ISRO and are designed to provide a continuous view of earth either at day or night for the forces to detect border infiltration.

Earlier, the observation satellites banked mainly on optical and spectral sensors which often were handicapped by cloud cover.

The configuration of RISAT-2BR1 is different from the previously launched RISAT’s and brings along improved observation and imaging capabilities. The satellite will be launched using ISRO’s own Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) called PSLV-C46. ISRO is

also planning to send its cartography satellite Catosat-3 among other small defence satellites.

The first RISAT that was deployed in the orbit was RISAT - 2. While RISAT -1 was expected to be up first but the events of 26-11 meant that the deployment was fast-tracked.

RISAT- 1’s C-band SAR radar was not ready then and hence RISAT-2 was launched carrying X-band radar. RISAT-2 was successfully deployed on April 20, 2009. RISAT-1 was successfully launched on April 26, 2012 for a period of five years.

RISAT -1 was not a surveillance satellite and its data was used for applications like natural resource management, agriculture planning, forest surveys, disaster management support during floods and earthquakes.

India is also likely to land on moon on September 6 once the ISRO launches its second lunar mission ‘Chandrayaan 2’ between July 9 and July 16.

Appeal to legalize ...

(From p-1) However, Yanthan lamented that till date no official notification has been issued as the transport department’s contention is that there is no particular section under MVA, 1988 that has any reference to two-wheeler taxi service.

“As much as we respect the government, we expect the government to create, add or introduce ideas and facilities that are for the welfare of the people,” Yanthan said, adding that this is a matter of seeking permission to pursue livelihood by unemployed Naga youth.

M e a n w h i l e, t h e two-wheeler owners have pledged to cooperate, support and coordinate with the government to legalise the two-wheeler taxi service in Kohima and throughout Nagaland. They also assured to ethically and efficiently offer their services for the welfare of the riders and provide them safe and quality transportation service.

The two-wheeler taxi fares range from Rs 50 to Rs 120, depending on the distance travelled. For the purpose of safety of their passengers, the two-wheeler taxi owners provide helmets and raincoats during rain.

New Delhi, May 6 (PTI): Karnataka students who missed the medical entrance examination NEET on Sunday due to a train delay will get another chance, Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar said Monday.

The National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) for these students will be conducted on May 20, he said.

The decision was taken following a request by Karanataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy.

“Happy to announce that Karnataka students who missed NEET exam due to railway delay will get another chance,” Javadekar tweeted. Also, in Odisha, where the NEET was postponed in view of the cyclone ‘Fani’, the exam will be conducted on May 20, he said.

In West Bengal’s Siliguri, where students at one exam centre couldn’t take the test because they didn’t get the question paper in the opted language Hindi, the re-examination will be

held on the same day, the minister said. The NEET for admission to medical colleges was held across the country on Sunday.

But hundreds of students from Kar nataka missed the exam as their train reached Bengaluru an hour after the scheduled reporting time for the exam.

Kumaraswamy held a meeting Monday with Chief Secretary T M Vijaya Bhaskar and Higher Education Department officials on the issue and raised the matter with the HRD ministry.

Union Minister D V Sadananda Gowda also wrote to Javadekar, seeking an early redress to the stu-

dents’ grievance. C h i e f Minister Kumarswamy’s office tweeted, “Thank you @PrakashJavdekar and @ HRDMinistry for considering the request and helping our students.”

Some reports said over 500 students from various places in North Karnataka districts failed to make it to the exam venue due to a fivehour delay in Hampi Express while the others missed the opportunity due to a change in an exam centre. Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had tweeted on Sunday highlighting the issue. He had tagged Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his tweet.

The National Testing Agency, which is conducting the NEET the first time, has announced exam centres will remain the same. “On request of the government of Odisha, in the wake of ‘Fani’ cyclone the exam for candidates whose centre was in the state was postponed till further notice. It will now be conducted on May 20,” an NTA official said.

Ex-BSF jawan moves SC over rejection of nomination New Delhi, May 6 (IANS): Tej Bahadur Yadav, the dismissed Border Security Force (BSF) jawan, moved the Supreme Court on Monday challenging rejection of his nomination papers by the Election Commission to contest Lok Sabha polls from Varanasi.

Yadav alleged he was deliberately kept out of the contest to ensure an easy win for Prime Minister Narendra Modi from Varanasi.

Yadav, in the petition, contended that the Returning Officer “completely failed to appreciate that he had produced the dismissal letter along with his nomination paper.”

The dismissal letter indicated the reason for his dismissal from the BSF as alleged indiscipline and there was no evidence of indulging in corruption or any act of disloyalty to the state, the petitioner said.

Yadav has sought

the apex court’s direction to set aside the Returning Officer’s May 1 order and that he be allowed to contest the election from Varanasi.

The candidature of Yadav, supported by the Samajwadi Party, was rejected by the Returning Officer on finding fault with nomination papers.

Yadav claimed he was a strong candidate against the prime minister and his popularity was “gaining momentum”, and added that’s why he was supported by the Sa-

Stating that “the mala fide is apparent,” Yadav alleged the Returning Officer had shown haste in deciding on his candidature.

S h e a d d e d : “ W hy should I go for an official meeting when you have come to Kalaikunda for an election meeting? Had he not come for election meetings, I would have gone (for the meeting).”

She also said that Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik met Modi as the elections were over in the neighbouring state. “I will not share dais with you during the elections time because I do not consider

you as Prime Minister,” Banerjee said.

However, in an apparent reference to the proposed meeting for assessing damage caused by the cyclone, she again said: “How do you dare to hold/propose a meeting with state officials and the Chief Secretary excluding the Chief Minister.

It is a federal structure. The Centre and state governments are elected by the people. Chief Secretaries are under Chief Minister not under Prime Minister.”

“You want to do photoshoot and drama and then promise to provide some assistance. How will you provide fund now... you will lose the elections.”

The Odisha government has informed that restoration of the power and telecommunication infrastructure continues to remain the major priority and so far around 50 per cent power restoration has been reported while more works need to be done in Bhubaneswar and Puri, the statement said.

The NEET examination, which was postponed in the state because of the cyclone, will be held on May 20. The medicines dispatched by the central government have been received and all measures were being taken to prevent any outbreak of diseases, the statement said.

Reviewing the relief measures, the Cabinet Secretary stressed that power connectivity needs to be restored on priority basis as drinking water supply, telephone connectivity and banking operations need electricity.

K O L K AT A , M AY 6 (IANS): Taking a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi on a proposed meeting on cyclone Fani, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday accused him of doing politics with the natural disaster and also flouting the federal structure of the country.

“Expiry Prime Minister is doing politics ahead of elections. He had sent a letter yesterday (Sunday) as he has a pre-planned public meeting at Jhargram. What does it mean? “He is coming to Jhargram and his plane would land at Kalaikunda.

sioned on September 15 1983.

June 6 2017. Since being commissioned, INS Rajat has sailed for 2,190 days, covering over 7,43,000 nautical miles, equivalent to navigating around the world 35 times and 3.5 times the distance from the earth to the moon, the release said.

The ship was at the forefront of major naval operations and served on both the Eastern and Western seaboards.

Apart from naval operations like ‘Op Talwar’ and various multinational exercises, the ship participated in relief operations post Tsunami in 2004 and Hud-hud on 2014.

In recognition of the service rendered by INS Ranjit to the nation, the ship was awarded Unit Citations by the Chief of Naval Staff in 2003-04 and in 2009-10.

Laurentino Cortizo wins Panama presidential race

PANAMA CITY, May 6 (Agencies): US educated political veteran Laurentino “Nito” Cortizo won Panama’s presidential election in an unprecedented close race on Sunday, with the electoral tribunal declaring a winner after 95 percent of votes had been counted.

In his victory speech, Cortizo called for national unity, after winning just a third of the votes with the country clearly divided about its choice in the oneround election. “ Pa n a m a wo n t o day, and today more than ever, Panama needs to join forces,” the former agriculture minister told cheering supporters in the midnight speech at his campaign hotel. During the campaign he vowed to clean up politics after Panama’s image was tarnished by a corruption scandal involving Brazilian engineering firm Odebrecht, and the Panama Papers leak of millions of documents detailing tax evasion by the world’s wealthy in the nation famous for its canal.

“Panamanians don’t want, or merit, and won’t put up with more of the same,” Cortizo added. “The chaos is over. Public funds belong to the public, and they are sacred.”

He takes office on July 1 and will have to balance

Laurentino Cortizo, with the Democratic Revolutionary Party, speaks to supporters in Panama City on Monday.

relations with Washington and Beijing, after outgoing President Juan Carlos Varela rankled the United States by formally establishing diplomatic ties with China, now the second largest canal client.

Second-place candidate Romulo Roux lagged just two points behind and was reluctant to concede, saying he had found some irregularities in ballots in some voting areas.

Varela congratulated Cortizo in a call broadcast live in an apparent bid to show stability after the tight result. No election in the Central American nation has produced such a narrow result since the 1989 restoration of democracy that followed the U.S. invasion to topple dictator Manuel Noriega.

The atmosphere had

been tense at the hotel where Cortizo’s supporters gathered for hours to await their candidate, holding his Democratic Revolution Party’s (PRD) red, white and blue flags.

They broke into cheers of “Nito, Nito, Nito!” after the electoral tribunal called with the news.

Roux, 54, who previously worked at the authority that governs the canal and was foreign minister under jailed former president Ricardo Martinelli, posted on Twitter shots of ballot tallies he said were miscounted, as evidence of irregularities he said could change the result.

He said his party needed to see all the tallies from across the country before accepting a result, but stopped short of saying he had won.

International Tanker truck fuel blast kills 58 in Niger Niamey, May 6 (AFP): Fifty-eight people died in Niger’s capital Niamey after an overturned tanker truck exploded as crowds collected spilt fuel, authorities and witnesses said Monday.

The blast on the RN1 route near the international airport Sunday night left the burnt truck’s wreckage, motorbikes and debris scattered over the road. Nearby houses were damaged by fire. The explosion left 58 dead, the presidency said in a statement. Witnesses said people were trying to collect petrol leaking from the truck, which had overturned on railway tracks, when the explosion happened.

Nigerian President Mahamadou Issoufou visited some of the injured in hospital in the capital.

IS chose Sri Lanka to show they exist: SL President C o l o m b o, M ay 6 (IANS): Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena has said that he believes the Islamic State (IS) terror group chose to target his country to show that “they still exist”.

The terror group claimed responsibility for the Easter Sunday suicide bombings targeting three luxury hotels, three churches and two other locations which killed over 250 and injured hundreds.

“I am shocked and can’t understand why they chose Sri Lanka for this attack,” Sirisena told the BBC in an interview.

“I do question if it is because they do not have the ability to go head to head with the world’s powerful nations... So they chose a country that had recently established peace, to make the statement that the Islamic

Maithripala Sirisena (File)

State still exists.”

Asked about the failure to act on the repeated warnings in the lead up to the killings, the President said: “It’s clear that information had been received by those occupying top positions in intelligence services. However, I wasn’t appraised of this information.

“They neglected their duties which is why I have taken action against them.

US deploying carrier, task force in Middle East

Washington, May 6 (IANS): The US is deploying the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force to the US Central Command region in the Middle East in response to “troubling” warnings from Iran, the White House has announced.

A statement from US National Security Adviser John Bolton on Sunday, said: “In response to a num-

ber of troubling and escalatory indications and warnings, the US is deploying the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force to the US Central Command region to send a clear and unmistakable message to the Iranian regime that any attack on US interests or on those of our allies will be met with unrelenting force.

“The US is not seeking war with the Iranian regime,

These people have been removed from their offices and I have appointed a committee to investigate the matter,” he added.

Amid the public outrage following the bombings, Defence Secretary Hemasiri Fernando and Police Chief Pujith Jayasundara were asked to resign. The President said these men had received prior warnings from state intelligence over possible attacks but had failed to brief him and others.

Asked whether he should be considering his own position after the security failure, Sirisena said: “Nowhere in the world have the heads of state resigned or relinquished their duties after bomb blasts. I believe my duty right now is to take the necessary action to face this challenge.”

Responding to a que-

ry that whether the highprofile spat between him and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe was a reason behind the failure of the intelligence services to adequately share the information, Sirisena said that contrary to the “rumours”, he and the Prime Minister “do not have such serious issues”.

“To be clear, when it comes to action being taken with regard to matters relating to the national security, political differences and other issues are set aside.”

Meanwhile, the Sri Lankan police on Monday said they have discovered a suspected safe house in Nuwara Eliya city used by the suicide bombers.

The safe house located at Blackpool in Nuwara Eliya had been used for training purposes as well, investigations revealed.

but we are fully prepared to respond to any attack, whether by proxy, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or regular Iranian forces.”

A US official with direct knowledge of the situation told CNN the threats were against both US maritime and land-based forces in the Middle East. The deployments are aimed specifically at deterring any Iranian military actions.

Kevin Costner isn’t impressed with American politics

M

A

ctor-filmmaker Kevin Costner is not happy with the “political landscape” in the US. “The political landscape is unrecognisable to me, and shame on us for being in that spot,” the Oscar winner said, reports variety. com.

“That could change overnight, not because of a vote, but because people say, ‘I want to try to be more than about myself ’. That’s the definition of public service.”

Costner isn’t hopeful that change will come anytime soon. “This is the greatest experiment in humankind: America. This great idea about America still exists, it’s still here. People still want to come here, but we’re not first in hardly anything that matters and we have an inflated idea about how we are.

“We exaggerate about what we are. We are everything that’s great and we are everything that’s human.

And our humanness and our level of selfishness is overtaking our chance to be great,” he said. Costner campaigned for Barack Obama in 2008.

Asked about the idea of Michelle Obama running for president, Costner said: “Michelle’s incredibly bright

and articulate and has possessed good judgement and experience as a result. Why couldn’t she be (president)?”

If the former first lady did jump into the presidential ring, Costner said: “She’d have a level of interest from me.”

The baby is understood to be around a week overdue, with the Duchess, who is 37, said to be “comfortable and content” as she waited in her new home at Frogmore Cottage with her husband and mother Doria Ragland by her side.

She is reported to have hoped for a home birth, as the couple emphasise their wish for total privacy for their new arrival.

That plan will change as medically necessary, sources have suggested, with overdue babies requiring careful monitoring for the safety of mother and child and contingency plans in place for any intervention needed.

The Duchess is reported to have chosen a femaleled team to support her, with the Royal Household doctors on hand to help if necessary.

Speculation about an imminent arrival had increased in the last three days, after Buckingham Palace announced that the Duke would be travelling to the Netherlands on May 9.

Leverkusen keep top-four hopes alive

Bayer Leverkusen players celebrate after scoring a goal during their Bundesliga match against Eintracht Frankfurt.

BERLIN, May 6 (Agencies): Bayer Leverkusen boosted their chances of a top-four finish in the Bundesliga and a place in next season’s Champions League after scoring six first-half goals for a breathtaking 6-1 home win over direct rivals Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday.

The result left Frankfurt fourth on 54 points with two games to play, ahead of fifth-placed Leverkusen on goal difference. Sixth-placed Borussia

Moenchengladbach and Wolfsburg in seventh are a further two points adrift.

Frankfurt, looking bereft of energy after Thursday’s 1-1 home draw with Chelsea in the first leg of their Europa League semifinal, were totally overrun in the opening period and lucky not to concede more than six in an astonishing first half.

Leverkusen’s Lucas Alario struck twice and Kai Havertz, Julian Brandt and Charles Aranguiz also

netted before Martin Hinteregger’s own goal completed the scoring after 36 minutes, with Ante Rebic having pulled one back for Frankfurt.

Havertz opened the floodgates with a sweet left-foot shot from the edge of the penalty area in the second minute and Julian Brandt made it 2-0 in the 13th with a deft finish after a second assist by midfielder Aranguiz. Rebic pulled one back for Frankfurt barely 60 seconds later

with a heavily deflected shot but that was as good as it got for the visitors, with striker Alario heading in the home side’s third in the 23rd minute.

The lively Aranguiz made it 4-1 when he blasted the ball into the roof of the net from close range after shaking off Makoto Hasebe and Alario grabbed his second with a tap-in after more good work by Kevin Volland.

Hinteregger’s spectacular own-goal in the 36th added insult to injury as the centre back beat his own keeper Kevin Trapp with a diving header any striker would have been proud of, summing up Frankfurt’s first-half nightmare.

With the game over as a contest, Leverkusen took their foot off the pedal after the break but still dominated with some crisp onetouch passing, as Havertz missed a pair of gilt-edged chances midway through the second half.

Frankfurt were reduced to almost walking pace in the closing stages and Havertz again came close when he fired inches wide from long range.

Earlier on Sunday, Schalke confirmed their place in the top flight with a 0-0 home stalemate against Augsburg while mid-table Fortuna Dusseldorf earned a 1-1 draw at Freiburg.

Tsitsipas captures first claycourt title

Sanchez to lead Qatar to 2022 World Cup

Doha, May 6 (Agencies): Felix Sanchez has extended his contract as head coach of Qatar’s national team through to the 2022 World Cup hosted by Qatar, the country’s Football Association said on Monday.

Spaniard Sanchez led the team to the Asian Cup title in the United Arab Emirates in January having been appointed to replace Jorge Fossati during the final stages of the country’s failed attempt to qualify for the 2018 World Cup finals in Russia.

The Asian Cup win, when Qatar defeated Japan in the final in Abu Dhabi, was the country’s first major trophy and was achieved with a squad that is expected to form the bulk of the side at the World Cup finals in three years’ time.

Sanchez, 43, has spent much of his coaching career in Qatar, working at the Aspire Academy before leading the nation to the Asian Under-19 title in 2014 and he has a long-standing relationship with many of the current squad.

He retains the position despite speculation the QFA was on the hunt for a highprofile coach to lead the team into the World Cup finals and Sanchez’s next task will be to take Qatar to the Copa America finals in Brazil in June, where they are one of two invited sides.

Top seed Tsitsipas made the most of his Uruguayan opponent’s struggles on the serve to clinch the opening set and grabbed an early break to serve at 4-3 in the second.

But the Australian Open semi-finalist suffered a lapse in concentration and was broken for the first time in the contest during a stretch of nine consecutive points won by Cuevas.

L o n d o n , M ay 6 (Agencies): Ousmane Dembele is a doubt for Barcelona’s Champions League semi-final secondleg clash with Liverpool after sustaining a hamstring injury at Celta Vigo.

The French winger lasted less than 10 minutes in the 2-0 La Liga defeat before being forced off in Barcelona’s first league defeat since November.

Barca, who take a 3-0 lead into Tuesday’s Anfield encounter, rested several key players at the Estadio de Balaidos with the league title already secure.

A club statement confirmed Dembele had “suffered a muscular injury in his right hamstring” and was set for further tests on Sunday.

And Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde said the news was a ‘major blow’ ahead of the Liverpool game.

“He is an important player for us and it is a major blow with the big games we have coming up,” Valverde said.

“I didn’t replace him with Philippe Coutinho as I didn’t want to run any more risks.”

Defender Jean-Clair Todibo also went off during the second half, but Valverde hopes the problem was not as serious.

Brighton crush Arsenal top-four hopes

L o n d o n, M ay 6 (Agencies): Arsenal will need an extraordinary turnaround on the final day of the Premier League season to finish in the top four after being held to a 1-1 draw by Brighton and Hove Albion on Sunday.

Needing victory to give themselves a realistic chance of securing a Champions League spot, they led through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s early penalty at the Emirates only for Glenn Murray’s spot kick to drag Brighton level in a frantic second half.

The draw meant fifthplaced Arsenal ended the day four points behind Chelsea who had earlier beaten Watford to move third and three points behind stumbling Tottenham Hotspur.

While a win at Burnley and a loss for Tottenham at home to Everton would see the north London clubs finish level on points, Arsenal are eight worse off in terms of goal difference.

Arsenal have now managed to earn only one point from their last four league games — a run that has ultimately left them needing to win the Eu-

Players of Arsenal and Brighton in action during their EPL match.

ropa League to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

“We tried but we didn’t take our chance to be in the top four,” manager Unai Emery, whose side will take a 3-1 lead to Spanish club Valencia for their Europa League semi-final, second leg, next week told Sky Sports.

Despite their three-

match losing sequence, Arsenal began the match with high hopes of catching Tottenham and Chelsea.

They were given the perfect start when referee Anthony Taylor pointed to the spot after Alireza Jahanbakhsh was adjudged to have impeded Nacho Monreal.

Aubameyang made no mistake with the penalty to

notch up his 20th league goal of the season.

With Brighton already safe from relegation, thanks to Cardiff City’s defeat on Saturday, it should have been a relatively stress-free day for the Gunners.

But there was a nervousness about their play and Brighton grew into the game and caused several scares before halftime.

Brighton levelled in the 61st minute when the dangerous Solly March made a strong goalwards run and Granit Xhaka was panicked into conceding a penalty that Murray converted.

The striker has now scored 35 percent of Brighton’s Premier League goals since they were promoted in 2016-17.

Arsenal threw everything at Brighton in the closing stages but Brighton defended like tigers and could have taken the three points with several counterattacks.

Aubameyang somehow fired wide for Arsenal while at the other end Pascal Gross should have scored for Brighton.

A r s e n a l ’s p l aye r s looked despondent at the final whistle and the crowd were silenced before breaking into cheers for injured Aaron Ramsey, who walked on to say goodbye before his move to Juventus at the end of the season.

Brighton have gone eight matches without a win and face title-chasing Manchester City next week, but have done just enough to book a third successive season with the elite.

Napoli secure 2nd place in Serie A

Players of Napoli and Cagliari fight for the ball during their Serie A match.

Milan, May 6 (Agencies): Lorenzo Insigne’s 98th-minute penalty helped Napoli clinch the runnersup spot in Serie A with a 2-1 home win over Cagliari on Sunday.

Leonardo Pavoletti had put the Sardinian side in front in the second half but Dries Mertens’ header for Napoli five minutes from time levelled the scores before Insigne converted the late winner from the spot.

The result means Carlo Ancelotti’s side are assured of finishing in second place for a second consecutive season as they moved to

73 points, 10 clear of Inter Milan in third with three rounds of matches remaining. Cagliari remain in 12th place with 40 points, eight clear of the relegation zone and two behind SPAL and Sassuolo.

Napoli were in stuttering form coming into the game, having won one of their last five league matches. Their struggles looked set to continue when Nicolo Barella’s backheel set up Pavoletti to fire in the opener after 63 minutes.

But the home side cranked up the pressure as Cagliari goalkeeper Ales-

sio Cragno denied Mertens with a superb one-handed save. However, Cragno was left powerless when the Belgian rose to head in the equaliser from close range with five minutes of regulation time remaining.

N a p o l i we r e t h e n awarded a penalty for handball following a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) review deep into stoppage time, resulting in a red card for Cagliari midfielder Artur Ionita for dissent.

Insigne stepped up and showed great composure to dispatch the spot kick and seal the points.

Naomi Osaka leads WTA rankings Mariano’s brace help Madrid beat Villarreal

Naomi Osaka

Madrid, May 6 (IANS): Naomi Osaka of Japan maintained the No. 1 spot in the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) rankings released on Monday with 6,151 Points, ahead of Czech Petra Kvitova.

Former world No. 1 Simona Halep occupied the third position with 5,682

points in this week’s unchanged top 10.

German Angelique Kerber stayed in the fourth place followed by the Czech Karolina Pliskova and Elina Svitolina of Ukraine.

The seventh position was held by Kiki Bertens of the Netherlands, while the eighth, ninth and 10th

positions were occupied

by Sloane Stephens of the United States, Ashleigh Barty of Australia and Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus, reports Efe news.

Meanwhile, Garbiñe Muguruza of Spain jumped one spot to world No. 19 despite being eliminated on Sunday in the first round of the 2019 Madrid Open tournament at the hands of Petra Martic of Croatia.

Belgian Elise Mertens, who was also eliminated on Sunday, fell two spots to be placed 20th.

Spanish tennis player Carla Suárez remained in her 27th position following her victory 6-3, 6-3 on Sunday over Greek Maria Sakkari, who rocketed 12 spots up to world No. 39 thanks to defending the Morocco Open on Saturday.

Further down the ranking, Swiss Jil Teichmann climbed 59 places to be 87th on the list after winning the Prague Open title on Saturday.

The Madrid Open which changed from a hard court to a clay competition in 2009 is staged at the capital city’s Caja Magica tennis complex.

Madrid, May 6 (IANS): A brace by Spanish-Dominican forward Mariano Diaz led Real Madrid to a 3-2 win over Villarreal, who will have to wait till the end of the season to secure a place in La Liga next year.

Given the disappointing season Madrid has been experiencing, the fan attendance for Sunday’s match at their Santiago Bernabeu Stadium was at its lowest during the present La Liga campaign.

Before the game kicked off, Madrid showed support for Iker Casillas, their former goalkeeper and current Porto player, who last week suffered a heart attack.

On the pitch, Madrid, after the side was publicly criticized by French coach Zinedine Zidane, seemed to have transformed itself into a better team than the one which was beaten by Rayo Vallecano.

Two identical mistakes

by Villarreal’s Santi Cazorla and Madrid’s Casemiro marked the beginning of the game.

It was Cazorla who lost the ball first under Brahim Diaz’s pressure, giving Mariano his long-awaited

Real Madrid players celebrate after scoring a goal during their La Liga match against Villarreal.

opportunity to put his team on the scoreboard.

Madrid then played at a faster pace and created opportunities to increase their tally, but Mariano and Lucas Vazquez were unable to make the most of passes by Toni Kroos who dominated the midfield. Nine minutes later, Casemiro’s errors gave a chance to Villarreal’s striker Gerard Moreno, who fired a shot into the corner of the goal that got past Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, making his second

consecutive starting line-up appearance under Zizo.

Villarreal were looking for a point to boost their chances of staying in the top flight league, but they struggled with defensive instability.

This struggle was obvious against Madrid; the capital side often easily got through to Andres Fernandez’s goal. Madrid also had chances to regain the lead on a powerful shot by Dani Carvajal that hit the woodwork as well as other attempts by

Brahim, Kroos and Marcelo Vieira, all saved by the goalkeeper.

Villarreal’s attacking hopes largely fell on Samuel “Samu” Chukwueze’s shoulders as the Nigerian forward was barely noticed during the first half, but - in a rare chance - managed to get past Marcelo and fire a shot that was nicely blocked

by Courtois, who had great saves despite conceding two goals.

Focusing more on his offensive role, Marcelo fired

a shot that led to Madrid’s second goal with five minutes to go before first half stoppage time, when Jesus Vallejo collected the rebounded ball and then scored his first goal with Madrid.

The second half was virtually identical to the first as Mariano found the back of the net in the early going, ending any Villarreal hopes of a comeback.

Mariano took advantage of sloppy defense by Xavier Quintilla, who suffered in his Bernabeu debut, score for the second time.

Samu’s attempts continued Villarreal’s hopes for a goal that would get them back into the match that looked dull till Vinicius playing for the first time after a two-month absence on the sidelines due to injury - took the field with 16 minutes to go in regular time.

Vinicius even had an opportunity to score a goal, but he missed, still rusty and needing to work on accuracy and final touch.

Four minutes into injury time, however, Villarreal’s left back Jaume Costa fired a nice shot that found the back of the net.

Garin clinch Munich Open title

Cristian Garin

Munich, May 6 (Agencies): Chilean Cristian Garin continued his remarkable breakthrough season as he defeated Matteo Berrettini 6-1 3-6 7-6(1) in the Munich Open final on Sunday, clinching his second ATP title.

Italian Berrettini was playing his second match of the day on centre court after defeating fourth-seeded Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut 6-4 6-2 in a rain-postponed semi-final in the morning session.

With just over a couple of hours to recover, the 37thranked Berrettini made a sluggish start in the title decider as Garin grabbed two break point opportunities to clinch the opening set in 35 minutes.

In the second set, how-

ever, Budapest champion Berrettini found his range on the forehand side to snatch a break before serving out the set to love.

Both players were tested on serve in the final set but it was Garin who dominated the tiebreak as he controlled the rallies with a string of aggressive groundstrokes.

“Everything was special for me this week, I will never forget this,” said Garin, who will surge to the world’s top 40 for the first time when the new ATP rankings are released on Monday.

It was Garin’s 19th clay court match-win of the season and his second trophy of the year after lifting the Houston title last month.
