After Sena, Gov invites NCP to form govt Thackeray but remained non-committal. She also had a telephonic conversation with NCP chief Sharad Pawar, who had met her in Delhi last week. If the three parties come together, they will have a comfortable majority in the 288-member Maharashtra assembly, with the Sena securing 56 seats, the NCP, 54, and the Congress, 44, in last month’s elections. Monday saw hectic consultations through the day — first Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray met in Mumbai at Taj Lands End in the afternoon, then NCP’s Milind Narvekar and Shiv Sena’s Rajya Sabha MP Anil Desai met Congress leader Ahmed Patel in Delhi. After the BJP declined to stake claim to form the government in Maharashtra despite being the singlelargest party, the governor invited the Shiv Sena to prove majority. The NCP, which had earlier said its mandate was to sit in the opposition, changed its stance Sunday evening, saying it would consider supporting the Sena if the latter quit the NDA.

DRDA employees lock offices over non-receipt of salary Correspondent
KOHIMA NOV 11 (NPN): Employees of District Rural Development Agency (DRDA) locked their offices in all 11 districts of the State on Monday. This comes after a gap of two months of their agitation, which was suspended after release of their salary till July this year. According to reports, the employees decided to resume their stir by shutting down offices in their respective districts due to non-receipt of their salary. One DRDA staff explained they resumed their agitation to press for clearing their pending salary and sought assurance from the department for regular payment of monthly salary. The employee said the DRDA staff had given enough time for the State government to release the remaining two months’ pending salary and had even warned of starting their agitation from November 10, if the salary was not released. However, having received no response from the department concerned on both the issues, he the

Given a deadline of 8.30 pm today to stake claim to form govt NEW DELHI/MUMBAI, NOV 11 (AGENCIES): Political uncertainty in Maharashtra intensified Monday evening with Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari inviting Sharad Pawar’s NCP to prove its ability to form a government. This came barely hours after he refused to give the Shiv Sena a 48-hour extension to secure the numbers. The NCP has been given until 8.30 pm Tuesday to prove it has the numbers. The drama played out as the Congress dithered on its support to Uddhav Thackeray’s party, its
political and ideological adversary. NCP leaders who were willing to extend support to the Shiv Sena, provided ally Congress also did, were scheduled to meet Koshyari later in the evening. An indecisive Congress, at the end of a threehour meeting between interim party chief Sonia Gandhi and senior leaders at 10 Janpath, said it would hold further consultations. After the meeting, former Maharashtra CM Prithviraj Chavan said the party would first hold discussions “primarily” with its pre-poll ally NCP and possibly with the Shiv Sena before coming to any conclusion. Gandhi is said to have reservations about join-
ing hands with Uddhav Thackeray’s party because of its aggressive Hindutva ideology and controversial pronouncements and actions in the past. The governor’s office issued a statement in the evening, informing that he had rejected the Shiv Sena’s demand for 48-hour extension as conveyed by Aaditya Thackeray and other party leaders who visited the Raj Bhavan. Earlier in the day, as the NCP and the Sena leaders remained huddled in Mumbai, the Congress Working Committee met to discuss the political situation in Maharashtra, which was followed by consultations at 10 Janpath. Gandhi also took a call from Shiv Sena chief Uddhav

C H E N NA I , N OV 1 1 (PTI): Former chief election commissioner T N Seshan, who ruthlessly enforced the model code of conduct and led the gamechanging electoral reforms in the 1990s, died here on Sunday following a cardiac arrest. He was 86. The legendary Seshan was not keeping good health for the past couple of years and passed away at 9.45pm, his daughter Srividhya told PTI. Though Seshan was largely confined to his home due to age-related health issues for the past couple of years, he was always passionate to write about his journey, the people he knew and eventful years in service of the people. “It, however, did not materialise,” Srividhya said. In accordance with his wishes, she said, a trust was formed last August for propagation of spirituality, the “Narayaneeyam,” a spiritual and

devotional compilation and the Vedas. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Seshan was as an outstanding civil servant who served the country with utmost diligence and integrity. “His efforts towards electoral reforms have made our democracy stronger and more participative. Pained by his demise. Om Shanti,” the prime minister wrote on Twitter. Known for his nononsense attitude, Seshan was credited with ushering in major electoral reforms
during his tenure as the 10th CEC between December 12, 1990, and December 11, 1996. Seshan, it was said, used to wield a big stick while enforcing the model code of conduct to reign in muscle and money power during elections. Born in Thirunellai, Palakkad district of Kerala, he was awarded the Ramon Magsaysay Award in 1996. In his acceptance speech of the prestigious award, Seshan had said, “I deemed this award a tribute to the process of democracy throughout the free world, to the wisdom of millions of India’s electorate not always necessarily formally educated, to the millions of Indian voters who have overcome disabilities of economic status, social disability, poverty, and prejudice to walk into the ballot booth and use that little marking stamp to decidedly say who they want to rule over them.”

I have sent my resignation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” the Shiv Sena leader said and displayed his letter resigning as Heavy Industries minister.

made and urged the community to take challenges positively. In his address, principal director Shanavas C mentioned that communitisation was a good policy, but added that it was also time to modify it to get good results. Asserting that community participation had done a good thing in some villages, he however said not every village was doing the same and wondered whether it had become a channel for corruption.
He observed that communitisation had led to corruption and regretted that even when the department officials visited the schools, some village councils or VEC members come out defending the proxy or absentee teachers without realising that the officials were there for the welfare of students. He admitted that there was lack of proper implementation and monitoring of government policies. (Cont’d on p-10)
DDCF concerned over Dimapur roads, bridges D I M A P U R , N OV 1 1 (NPN): Dimapur District Citizens’ Forum (DDCF) has expressed concern over current condition of roads and bridges in Dimapur and urged the responsible department to ensure that the contractor completes the work at the earliest before the citizens take up the issue. In a press note, DDCF president Y Kikon and general secretary Richard Haolai said roads in most parts of Dimapur were neglected for so long that some were not even walkable and have become worse than roads in rural areas. The forum said, Dimapur the commercial hub which caters to the needs of people even from neighbouring states, has been left without proper roads and bridges as if there existed no government or competent authority that cared.
DDCF, therefore, requested the responsible authority and department to take necessary steps to repair such roads at the earliest. Further, the forum said it has taken serious note of the “snail speed” pace of work of the Dhansiri river bridge connecting Walford and Purana Bazaar. As regards, DDCF has questioned the government if a time limit has been set for the completion in the DPR? “If ‘yes’, why is it not enforced? If ‘no’, how work has been allotted without time frame?” Meanwhile, the DDCF has cautioned the government that the patience of citizens were running out and situation could turn ugly if things were not done on time accordingly with regard to all developmental activities.

CONGRESS MLA SLAMS CM LED DELEGATION FOR NOT MEETING PM MODI
Correspondent
IMPHAL, Nov 11: A delegation led by chief minister, N. Biren Singh, who has been camping in New Delhi since November 8, returned to Manipur on Monday without meeting prime minister but with reported re-assurance from the Union home minister, Amit Shah that Manipur territorial integrity will be safeguarded. The delegation comprised of chief minister, speaker Manipur Legislative Assembly, two ministers -Th Bishorjit and Th Radheshyam, and Rajya Sabha MP K Bhabananda and MLAs. The delegation met Shah on November 10. Talking to media at the Imphal Airport, education minister Th Radheshyam who is also the government spokesperson said that they planned to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and apprise him about the prevailing tense situation arising out of the fear of compromising state’s interest while settling the vexed Naga political issue.
Students taking part in the alert protest staged in Imphal on Monday. (NP) “However, we aborted the plan as Union home minister has reassured us,” he said. He said since home minister had made it clear that Centre will not compromise states’ interest at any cost while inking the peace deal with the NSCN (I-M) and other Naga groups, they considered that there was no need for them to meet
Prime Minister. Shah also conveyed to them that the Centre will consult with all stakeholders of the three neighbouring states of Nagaland before finalising the final peace deal with the NSCN (I-M), he said. The home ministry had started consultations with the chief ministers
of Manipur, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. It will be flowed by consultation with other stakeholders of these three states. He further claimed that Shah promised to give a detail explanation of the ‘agreed points’ of the peace negotiation during the next round of consultation with stakeholders.
Meanwhile, chief minister’s office has called for a press briefing on November 12 at 11.30 pm. Meanwhile, Congress MLA on Monday slammed the chief minister-led delegation for coming back without meeting with Prime Minister. Congress MLA RK Imo questioned why the chief minister returned without meeting the Prime Minister as ‘the assurance to be given by the Prime Minister will only calm down the people.’ The Congress legislator was talking to media persons at Sagolband where he joined the people in staging an alert protest on Naga peace talk. He said that Union home minister’s assurance which was also given earlier was not enough for people to calm down. Whether the Union home minister had given the details of the agreed points of the peace negotiation to the state chief minister led delegation could not be ascertained. “As neither the chief minister nor the members
of the delegation revealed it, we don’t know what had transpired in the meeting. But, we want to ask why the delegation did not met with the Prime Minister,” he said. As the delegation have not said anything about Union home minister disclosing the contents of the peace negotiation, the delegation should have met the Prime Minister and press him to disclose the details of the agreed points or gives written assurance that Centre will not do anything that will hurt the interest of Manipur, he insisted. On other hand, staging alert protest by forming human chain continued unabated at various places. Tens of hundreds of people took part at one such alert protest staged at Khurai area in Imphal East district that affected the normal traffic along the Imphal-Ukhrul road (HN150) for hours. Markets and shops at Lamlong Keithel were also suspended their business for the day and joined the protest staged under the aegis of COCOMI.

Ex-Tripura minister sent to police remand
Agartala, Nov 11 (IANS): A district court in Tripura on Monday sent CPI-M leader and former minister Badal Choudhury to four-day police custody in an alleged “corruption case”. According to defence lawyer Purosattam Roy Barman, West Tripura district and session court Special Judge Sabyasachi Datta Purkayastha sent Choudhary in police custody after completion of his three-day judicial custody. “However, the court directed the investigating officer (IO) to arrange full health and security protection for the former minister. “If the facilities for arranging full health facilities are not available in the police station, the IO can interrogate Choudhury in the central correctional centre (central jail),” Roy Barman told the media. He said that the court also asked the police and jail authorities to provide all the facilities and services in jail as per Choudhury’s official status. The former minister also told the court that “he has been anticipating that he might be murdered as a conspiracy was hatched against him.” An eight-time MLA
Badal Choudhury (File)
and former Lok Sabha member, Choudhury was in hospital with numerous ailments since he was arrested by the crime branch on October 21 in connection with the reported “PWD scam” that was under investigation. The Communist Party of India-Marxist leaders including former Chief Minister Manik Sarkar said that the BJP government had hatched a conspiracy against CPI-M central committee member Choudhury to malign the previous Left governments to obtain political mileage. “No corruption had taken place during the 35year rule (1978-1988 and 1993-2018) of Left parties in Tripura. Instead, huge development of various infrastructure and all other sectors had taken place in Tripura,” Sarkar told the
media. CPI-M state secretary and the party’s central committee member Gautam Das said the party would fight the “political vendetta” both legally and politically. BJP spokesperson Nabendu Bhattacharjee strongly denied the CPI-M charges. According to Law and Education Minister Ratan Lal Nath, the Public Works Department under the Left Front government in 2008- 9 had clubbed together 13 projects -- five bridges, five buildings and three road projects -- being implemented at a cost of Rs 638 crore. Terming it the “biggest scam in the history of Tripura”, Nath said Rs 228 crore had been siphoned off. The Tripura Police’s vigilance wing on October 13 filed an FIR against Choudhury, former Principal Secretary (PWD) Y.P. Singh and ex-PWD Chief Engineer Sunil Bhowmik in connection with corruption charges in the projects. Bhowmik was arrested on October 14. The police said it has taken steps to arrest Y.P. Singh, who also filed an anticipatory bail plea in the Tripura High Court.

Tripura’s central varsity facing crisis Agartala, Nov 11 (IANS): Tripura’s lone central university is facing a major crisis as vital positions including that of ViceChancellor and Registrar are lying vacant, an official said on Monday. The Union Ministry of Human Resource Development had removed Tripura University (Central) ViceChancellor Professor Vijaykumar Laxmikantrao Dharurkar on alleged ‘corruption charges’ and appointed the senior most professor of the Botany department Sangram Sinha as the acting VC in early September. “Sinha in a letter to the authorities last week sought voluntary retirement on health grounds.

told IANS on condition of anonymity.

to take important decisions on academic, administrative and policy matters,” the official added. The acting Registrar of the University, Sukanta Banik, had in a statement strongly denied the allegations of corruption against Dharurkar, who before leaving Tripura for his home state Maharashtra had refused to talk to the media about the accusations reported by the local media.

are supported by investment-friendly policies like state industrial policy, sugar policy, IT policy, export and logistics policy. Also urging MIBC to open a Malaysian consulate in Guwahati and start flight connectivity between Guwahati and Kuala Lumpur, the minister said, “though we are divided by boundaries, our roots are the same. Its the heart to heart connection we share and with the philosophy of Atithi Devo Bhava the guest is god, we will work together in each others states in the industrial sectors”. MIBC president Sittampalam said that apart from the historical perspective, a comprehensive business agreement between India and Malaysia was signed in 2011 and since then trade between the two countries has increased from USD 8 billion to USD 17.24 billion during 2018-19. Terming the MoU as a historical milestone, Sittampalam added that the North East region can be the food basket for Malaysia as the country imports varieties of food items from India.

‘Convert regulations into acts to protect indigenous people’ Itanagar, Nov 11 (PTI): The lawmakers in Arunachal Pradesh have suggested the state government to approach the Centre to convert two regulations that provide safeguard to the indigenous people into acts before enacting the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB), a statement said on Monday. The MLAs, during a meeting with the Consultative Committee on Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB), requested the state to urge the Centre to convert the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation (BEFR), 1873 and the Chin Hills Regulation 1896 into acts. During the meeting chaired by Home Minister Bamang Felix here on Saturday, the legislators have expressed their apprehension that amendment to the principal act will “badly affect the state in all spheres” unless Arunachal Pradesh is kept out of the purview of the CAB. Further, there is no cut-off year in the CAB which is likely to affect the demography of the state in the years to come, they told the committee. Converting the regulations into acts could provide more protection to the indigenous tribal people of the state even if the CAB is passed in Parliament, the legislators said. Earlier, the consultative K Y M C

Privileged victims
t may sound premature to attribute the old saying ‘alls well that ends well’ to the joint meeting held at ‘Oking’ on November 10 between the Working Committee (WC), NNPGs on one side and the Naga Council Dimapur (NCD) on the other, over the issue of illegal, unabated and multiple tax collection at various check gates in Dimapur from September 16. The drive, spearheaded by the PAC under the aegis of Naga Council Dimapur (NCD), was preceded by declaration of intention in the media. The ‘Operation Check Gate’ was confined mainly to three inter-state check gates- Dillai, New Field and Burma Camp. During the week-long drive by PAC volunteers drawn from tribe-affiliates of NCD confirmed that there were around dozens of organisations and unions and half a dozen Naga Political Groups actively engaged in the gate collections. On November 1, the PAC appeared buoyant that the chapter of all forms of illegal collections would be closed after solution was achieved. PAC also requested all NPG leaders to order their rank and file to “immediately stop the collection of taxes” in respecting the wishes of the people (against such collections). In the statement, PAC also asked the law enforcement agencies to remain vigilant and take timely and stringent measures against those indulging in such collections. Probably after the law enforcement was compelled to fulfil its obligation when the collections ran dry, on November 6, Working Committee (WC),NNPGs shot off a stinging attack on the convenor and co-convenor of the PAC for potentially causing threat to “thousands” of Naga army in various designated camps and also entire uniformed and civilian rank and file from receiving “contribution of the Naga people and business community, especially in Nagaland.” In the words of the WC, the entire rank and file of the NNPGs depend on such “contributions” and since the tap has virtually run dry due to PAC drive, the two leaders should provide all food and finances “to sustain the Naga movement” till agreement for solution to the Naga issue was inked before the “transitional period begins.” The unveiled threat by the WC on the PAC leaders invited huge outcry as various organisations not only backed the anti-collection drive but also urged the authorities to take note. Thus, the joint meeting on November 10 in Dimapur between WC and NCD was held to clear misunderstanding etc. However, the outcome of the meeting was not spelt in the joint press statement issued by representatives of both sides. There was no mention whether the threat-ultimatum was withdrawn and whether the drive against gate collections would continue or whether both WC and PAC would go on their own ways. Public certainly deserved to know the contents or substance of what was or were resolved. Public have already declared that illegal, unabated and multiple collections including syndication of business are totally unacceptable whether by state or non-state actors, legal or illegal, constitutional government or parallel governments. Earlier, NCD in a representation to the chief minister, had demanded enactment of stringent laws such as the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA)1999 or the Bihar Control of Crime Act 1981 as strong deterrent against such activities. The government ignored this and is also silent on the report and recommendation of the 3-member High Power Committee on illegal collections submitted in 2014.
DailyDevotion The Supreme Climb He said, “Take now your son…” —Genesis 22:2 God’s command is, “Take now,” not later. It is incredible how we debate! We know something is right, but we try to find excuses for not doing it immediately. If we are to climb to the height God reveals, it can never be done later— it must be done now. And the sacrifice must be worked through our will before we actually perform it. “So Abraham rose early in the morning…and went to the place of which God had told him” (Genesis 22:3). Oh, the wonderful simplicity of Abraham! When God spoke, he did not “confer with flesh and blood” (Galatians 1:16). Beware when you want to “confer with flesh and blood” or even your own thoughts, insights, or understandings— anything that is not based on your personal relationship with God. These are all things that compete with and hinder obedience to God. Abraham did not choose what the sacrifice would be. Always guard against self-chosen service for God. Self-sacrifice may be a disease that impairs your service. If God has made your cup sweet, drink it with grace; or even if He has made it bitter, drink it in communion with Him. If the providential will of God means a hard and difficult time for you, go through it. But never decide the place of your own martyrdom, as if to say, “I will only go to there, but no farther.” God chose the test for Abraham, and Abraham neither delayed nor protested, but steadily obeyed. If you are not living in touch with God, it is easy to blame Him or pass judgment on Him. You must go through the trial before you have any right to pronounce a verdict, because by going through the trial you learn to know God better. God is working in us to reach His highest goals until His purpose and our purpose become one.

People talk about perfect timing, but I think everything is perfect in its moment; you just want to capture that. ~ Eddie Huang
I
have just returned from an amazing assembly of a 100 very special people with visionary ideas, inventions and research who gathered at the request of Alexander and Nicole Gratovsky at Delphi, Greece. The Gratovskys are Russian anthropologists who are using their wealth to explore the nature of consciousness and the purpose of mindfulness. They believe, on the basis of their research, that the key to survival on the planet are dolphins and whales, and the more we kill them the closer we are to the end of the world. After listening to their remarkable TED talk I believe them too. They are not dreamers but practical scientists who live in Tenerife, which is a meeting point for cetaceans, so as to be able to pursue their research with these remarkable beings. They believe that the dolphin is more intelligent than human beings, and far better adapted to saving the world, and they have opened Dolphin Embassies all over the world to represent them. Their site is www.dolphinembassy.org. My friend Dr Ashok Khosla, who has spent his life finding practical solutions for a successful rural economy and runs Development Alternatives, is the Dolphin Ambassador in India. I would like to apply to be one of the people working in this embassy- and so should you. They have a Dolphinity World Festival where they teach about the mind and languages of cetaceans, show documentaries – I saw a deeply moving one that they have just made and show you how to experience personal contact with the
universe. This is what I learnt from the Ted Talk: 50 million years ago Earth’s water was inhabited by cetaceans. Many million years later another species of being, humanoids emerged. But strangely, while the Earth is 70% water, which is three dimensional and feeds life, the humanoids chose islands of land. People and dolphins have much in common. Both of us are air breathers: dolphins come up to breathe. We have the largest and most organized brains – but dolphins more than people. Both are individuals with specific personalities and unique features. They both pass the scientific mirror test of self awareness (recognizing yourself in the mirror) but dolphins can do it as soon as they are born . Humans can only do it after we are about 1.6 years old. They sing, have a sense of humour, curiosity, wonderment, memory, the ability to learn, a language. The dolphins and humans are the only species that make love face to face, and do it not to propagate the species but for the joy of it. Both pass the most important test for intelligence: non reactive behaviour. They are both guided not by external factors, but by an internal moral code that overcomes even the instinct for self preservation. Both believe in love, friendship, empathy that goes beyond momentary self interest. But this is where the similarities end. Humanoids, or people, multiplied at an astonishing rate. While their destruction of Earth was initially slow, in the last two centuries the development of
Nagaland Post, Dimapur TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2019
Value of all species technology has not been to improve their well being. It has all been aimed at destruction. Humans chose to want to master nature and in the process destroy it. Dolphins want to interact with nature and use love as their means of preserving it. While they are never asleep, being aware even when they are resting, dolphin actions have three features: play as a means to pass on information, love as a source for every action, and a respect and embracing of their surroundings. Imagine if we could be like them in our approach. People simply want to create and consume material objects and value their success by the amount they have of what they do not need. Dolphin culture is simply to own nothing but to rejoice in each other, the planet and the universe. They have a complex social interaction and use their brains , hearts and highly developed organs of perception to receive and transmit. Another important difference that makes them superior to us is that their culture of passing on of knowledge is entirely stable. Ours is so unstable that it depends totally on temporary social contracts, and is often lost or questioned by each generation. Do you remember where your grandmother used to get her food from ? No. But dolphins pass on
each bit of knowledge and remember it. Another feature of intelligence is language. But while ours is now so convoluted, and unstable, that we talk in codes and mostly lie, their language is direct and in perfect harmony with their mental and emotional state. We, as a species, are entirely disconnected from nature and we make sure that our children move away as quickly as they can. We have no more play – the swings and see saws of childrens’ playgrounds are not play, but simply things to do to use up time. We have forgotten why we came to the planet, what can make us happy. Instead, we have destroyed more than half the species on the planet and polluted 9/10th of it. Most of our non renewables are exhausted. We are the unhappiest we have ever been. At any given point there are over 100 wars going on - local, national and international. In every village in my constituency there are at least 30 fights every week over land, walls, animals, caste and whatever else we can think of to make ourselves more miserable. There are over 20 million attempted suicides every year from loneliness and sickness. The nobleness, the gentleness, the pure joy that dolphins and whales radiate, makes me cringe to be
a human. They suffer, as we do, from depression, but that is usually brought on by external events like the loss of loved ones or the loss of freedom. A new feature of mass suicides is now a part of dolphin culture, but that is brought on by the unbearable acoustic pollution of their environment. But even more important than who dolphins are, the Gratovskys and their scientific teams have discovered that cetaceans are the only species that are keeping us from total and instant destruction, by preserving our water and air. They bring up chemical compounds from the depth of the oceans to the surface that form two thirds of the planet’s air. Biologists call it the big biological pump. The songs of the whales, which represent the strongest and most harmonically organized sound, have a therapeutic influence on polluted and deformed water (anyone who does not believe this should look at Dr. Masaru Emoto’s work, which was laughed at earlier but has now proven to be true). Annual meetings of cetaceans in different parts of the globe are key events that decide the planet’s survival. We have just a few Gangetic dolphins left in our rivers. But no government has made any effort to conserve them. Instead, we encourage net fishing and this entangles their gills and kills them, as they cannot surface to breathe. While we and China are decimating our own dolphins and giving Padma Shris to people who write books about them, Japan , Denmark and Norway are doing their best to kill the rest. Japan refuses to obey
the world decision not to kill whales, and sends out whale killing fleets every day for no reason, since they don’t even eat them. Denmark’s Faroe Island’s have an annual festival in which they herd hundreds of dolphins into an inlet with their boats and then every human, including children, get into the water and stabs them repeatedly till the entire inlet is full of blood. No reason except the desire to kill. Norway has also decided to kill cetaceans. Do we not realise that the end of cetaceans is the end of us. In that remarkable book, So Long and Thanks for the Fish, (Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy trilogy) written by Douglas Adams as a philosophical look at the viciousness of mankind, the dolphins simply decide to leave the planet and, as they go, the world disintegrates. Become a dolphin ambassador immediately. It means changing yourself to live in harmony with your surroundings, with a lack of want for material things, and going forward to do good for the planet. Don’t eat fish if you want the fishing fleets, that wage war on the creatures of the sea, to stop. Plant trees and nurture them. Meditate. Don’t fight – make a joke of everything. Teach yourself and your children the value of all species. Take an active position against Japan, Norway and Denmark and, if you can do nothing else, write to their embassies here.

Post-mortem 550 Prakash Parv of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Political philosophy of Martin Heiedgger
N
ovember 12 is the birth day of a great personality of our country. This personality was not an ordinary person. They were extraordinary. This is the reason that today not only Bharat but the whole world is celebrating the festival of Prakash Parv in the name of that great personality. His name is Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji was born in Talwandi (present Nankana Sahib) 550 years ago. His father’s name was Kaluchand Bedi and mother’s name was Tripta. His birth was also not ordinary. The society was suffering from the tyranny of the Rulers. Hearing the call of the oppressed society, as a famine ancestor was born only to protect the tyranny and suffering society from atrocities. Hardayal, a priest of Talwandi village, announced the sighting of the infant Nanak. Hardayal said that the secret of God is hidden in the infant. Shikh Dharm is considered Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji an ideal avatar not only for the Sikh society but for all human races. His life and Dharm philosophy is epochmaking and public welfare philosophy. He was against the renunciation of house holder. He followed the role of householder for public welfare and continued to play the role of indifferent householder throughout his life. He described chanting, kirtana and wand chhakna as the mantra of successful household life. There is a wonderful incident in the life of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Once Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji went to a village and stayed in the house of a poor family. When the richest person of that village came to know that a great saint had come to this village, he invited him to stay in his house. But Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji did not accept to live in that rich house. The rich man also tried to give greed, but even then Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji did not accept him at all. Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji was forcefully called to his house by that rich man. The rich man told Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji that you should eat bread at my house. But Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji said that I cannot eat the bread of your house. Then Sri Guru Nanak
Dev ji asked for bread from a poor house holder. He also asked for bread from rich person. Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji took both the bread in each hand, strongly pressed the bread separately with both hands. From which milk started coming out from the bread of poor house and blood started flowing from the bread of rich house. Then Guru Nanak Ji said that only the money earned honestly gives milk. Therefore, you too earn earnestly. Seeing this, the rich man fell at the feet of Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji. And then rich man became his favourite disciple. There are many aspects of the life of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. He was a great philosopher and thinker who addressed the spiritual curiosities of the common man. He was also a great saint poet, who struck the hearts of the people with his melodious simple voice. He explained to people in very simple language that all humans are siblings of each other. God is the common father of all, then how can we be high despite being a child of one father? To give the slogan of equality in society, he said that God is our father. We are all his children. Nobody is small or big in the eyes of the father. God produces us and sends food to fill our stomachs. In the eyes of a father, there is no question of caste. Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji opposed the caste. He told the society that mankind is one. Why high and low due to caste. Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji said that do not ask the caste of man. When a person goes to the shrine of God, he will not be asked to go there. Only human actions will be seen. Similarly, Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji also strongly criticized Fore-Father worship, Tantra -Mantra and un-touch ability. Sri Guru Nanak sahib is a bridge between Hindus and Muslims. Hindus consider him as a Guru and Muslim as Pir. Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji, who was always opposed to high and low caste, treated everyone as equal and started the lungar of Guru, where it is the practice of sitting in the same line and having food. In Gurdwara of Dimapur residents always get an opportunity to see. Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji
composed Sri Guru Granth Sahib. The voice of Shri Guru Granth Sahib begins with the original mantra. This basic mantra tells us the definition of the God who is worshiped in different forms. Sri Guru Granth Sahib states: One Okara, Satnam, Karta Purakh (Paramatma), Nirbhun, Nirveer, Akal Murat, Ajuni, Syambhai , Guruprasad. Omkar-Akal Purakh (God) is one. No one else likes them. All that juice is pervasive, which is present everywhere. Satnam means - Akal Purakh i.e. the name of God is the truest. This name is always unalterable, everlasting. Karta purkh means - He is the creator of everything. He does everything. He cooks everything and adds to it, settles. It has been said about Nirbhaun - Akal Purakh has no fear of anyone. Nirvar Akal Purakh has no enmity with anyone.It has been said about the famine statue that the Lord is tomorrow, timeless. Time does not affect them. He does not know childhood, youth, old age and death. There is no idol in its shape. Ajni means - he does not fall into vaginas. He is neither born nor dies. Swayam means - no one has given birth to him or made him. He himself has become light. Guruprasad - By the grace of the Guru, God resides in the heart. Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji himself is a light. That is why the festival of light is celebrated. We are all observing the 550 Prakash festival of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. This Guru Mantra of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji is the mainstay of Sikh. With the conscience remember the name of God. Work with sincerity and hard work with effort. Serve helpless, unhappy, afflicted, needy humans with money earned. The whole world views Sikh society with respect and self- respect. The anchor of the Gurudwara is a great service. This is the only example in the world. Wahe Guru Ji Khalasa, Wahe Guru Guruji Ki Fatah. Pankaj Sinha, Dimapur

artin Heidegger, a renowned, original and widely acclaimed German philosopher known for his creative and critical works of the 20th Century whose scholarship even now is being used by many in their writings and articulations in varied ways, especially in political discourses. His contributions and originality are in particular in the areas of phenomenology, hermeneutics and existentialism. In these areas Heidegger showed his brilliance and intellectual acumen of par excellence, but requires careful scrutiny. His thinking would have to be identified along with philosophical movements. Heidegger was a composite scholar who delved into psychology and theology and thus used phenomenological method. Heidegger was a member and a staunch supporter of the Nazi party. His philosophical moorings to an extent might have been influenced by Nazi ideology. His best known book Being and Time (1927)—the most influential and central to his philosophical thought and ideas that raises ontological questions and notions of being which is central that raised crucial questions to him. Heidegger has been regarded as a one of the intriguing philosophers and original thinkers. A philosopher such as Martin Heidegger is to be de-coded and de-constructed in order to shed light, meaning and content to the present times. He being a hermeneutist his works has to be reinterpreted in the context of wide-spreading nationalistic furor across the world. Martin Heidegger showed his leanings to fascism and his narratives by and large convey ‘politics of silence’. His philosophical thinking and the current happening across the world synchronizes and thus puts him at the center. Firmly committed to Nazism and subscribed to anti-Semitism. In tune to these Heidegger worked energetically to reform the University where he was the Rector more on the basis of Nazi principles. This was the background of Heidegger whose philosophical groundings and philosophical discourses by and large revolved around ontological being and purpose of life. However, Post-War 11 settings wherein the academia despite making all attempts to erase the stamp “fellow traveler” by the De-nazification Commission. Heidegger’s political philosophy and his political articulations manifest strong ideological leanings towards fascist tenden-
cies and Aryanization. Therefore, Heidegger serves better and his works poses enormous interest and challenges amongst scholars and thus become relevant to our times in the wake of nationalistic furor. Heidegger nowadays is resurrected and cited more as many countries are moving towards ethnonationalist tinge—nationalism and populism are the credo of the emergence of nationalistic uprisings. There are countries in Europe, South America, in North America such as the USA, Asia and countries like Australia and more countries including Russia are gradually shifting towards far-rightist and nationalist fundamentalism. Arousing ethnic passions by those leaders and others in different periods and parts of history and what we have been witnessing in many countries as of now seem to be subscribing to far-right nationalistic politics. In this regard India is not an exception. The far-right nationalist party is building its base on the credo of nationalism and populism by employing Hindu ethnicity. Its ideological premises has entered into all facets of Indian society and thus moving towards Hindu rashtra. Historicity is interpreted in such ways that favors the fundamentalists’ brand of nationalism and ethno-identity politics. Heidegger’s philosophical critique of the conditions of humanity in modern technological society allowed him to regard Nazi revolution as a deliverance that would make the world “safe for Being”. Even in India far-right nationalist ideology and political projects are regarded as a leverage and delivery point by the majority of Indians. Being and the Context and Being in the Context though philosophical terms and thus linked closely with each other, but ought to be viewed as very contextual that raises the very purpose of life ‘here and now’. The notion of “Being” is an existential term and therefore has been a product of human historicity which has the possibility of embracing extremes such as racism, fascism or nationalism by ways of its connotations and manifestations. The far-right politics and the governments across the globe are involved in promoting nationalistic sentiments amongst its citizens. Accordingly, even in India the ruling party is involved in vigorous campaigns that denote saffronization and hinduisation of those who belong to indigenous tribes and other communities.

Sir,
Keeping pollution level down
Pollution level is rising rapidly in cities and beginning to invade into the hills as well. In our state, the level of pollution is rising because of growing numbers of vehicles emitting carbon gas. Added to the rising air pollution, we are also facing problems of garbage disposal as landfills earmarked for garbage is fast filling up. Some stringent measure must be adopted for keeping the environment clean and bringing pollution level down. Sentimenla Ozukum, Kohima

Maha: 7 killed, 3 injured as car hits truck in Beed
SC to deliver verdict on Nov 13 on pleas of disqualified Karnataka MLAs
BEED, NOV 11 (PTI): At least seven people, including a child, were killed and three others injured when their SUV hit a stationary truck in Maharashtra’s Beed district on Monday morning, police said. The deceased also included two women, Patoda police station’s assistant inspector A Pathan said. The mishap took place around 10 am when the driver of the sports utility vehicle (SUV) lost control over the wheels. As a result, the vehicle hit a stationary truck on Manjursuba Road in Patoda tehsil, he said. “Seven people were killed and three others injured in the mishap,” the official said. All the victims were residents of Vaidkini village in Beed. Around 12 people, including the driver, were in the SUV when it met with the accident, he said. Some locals later rushed to the spot and took the car occupants to a civil hospital in Beed where seven of them were declared dead by doctors, he said. Three of the deceased were identified as Vaijnath Gyanoba Tandle, Balu Pandrinath Munde and Kesarbai Bansi Munde.
NEW DELHI, NOV 11 (PTI): The Supreme Court is scheduled to pronounce on November 13 its verdict on the pleas of 17 disqualified Congress-JD (S) MLAs of Karnataka challenging the orders of the then Assembly speaker K R Ramesh Kumar to disqualify them. A three-judge bench of justices N V Ramana, Sanjiv Khanna and Krishna Murari had on October 25 reserved its verdict on the petitions filed by these disqualified MLAs. Kumar had disqualified these 17 MLAs of ruling the Congress-JD(S) coalition ahead of a trust vote in July. The then chief minister H D Kumaraswamy had resigned after losing the trust vote, which paved the way for the BJP-led government in the state under B S Yediyurappa. By-polls to 15 out of these 17 assembly seats which fell vacant following the disqualification of MLAS are scheduled on December 5 and candidates are required to file their nomination papers between November 11 and November 18.
These disqualified MLAs have recently approached the apex court seeking a direction to the Election Commission to postpone the assembly bypolls for these 15 seats till the pronouncement of verdict in the matter. Some of these disqualified MLAs had argued in the apex court that they have an “indefeasible right” to resign as members of the assembly and the decision by the then Speaker to disqualify them smacks of “vengeance” and “mala fide”. During the arguments in the matter, senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for the Karnataka Congress, had contended that the then Speaker, who was the master of the Assembly, had exercised his jurisdiction
to disqualify these MLAs and his decision cannot be questioned. Sibal had also submitted that “the matter needs to be referred to a Constitution bench as it raises matters of grave constitutional importance”. The incumbent Karnataka Assembly Speaker had earlier told the top court that he has no difficulty in hearing these 17 MLAs and take a “fresh call” on the issue. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the office of the Karnataka Assembly Speaker, had submitted that under the scheme of Constitution, a lawmaker has a right to resign and the Speaker should accept it. The current Assembly Speaker is V Hegde Kageri.
Home, Finance ministries to take first Stipulated time over to prosecute nearly 100 govt officials: CVC steps after Ayodhya order: Sources
Raut complains of chest pain, hospitalised MUMBAI, NOV 11 (PTI): Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut was on Monday admitted to Lilavati Hospital here after he complained of chest pain, an official at the hospital said. Raut, who has been speaking to the media daily on his party’s stand on the current political situation in Maharashtra, came to the hospital around 3.30 pm. “Raut visited the Lilavati Hospital after he complained for slight chest pain. He is being treated by Dr Jaleel Parkar,” the official said. “Raut came to the hospital two days back also for a routine check-up. An ECG (electrocardiogram test) was then done followed by some check-ups. Based on the ECG report, doctors advised him to come to the hospital today for further tests,” he said. He may be discharged tomorrow, the Rajya Sabha member’s brother and Shiv Sena MLA Sunil Raut said. “Doctors will decide in the evening whether to perform an angiography or not,” he said. Raut, the executive editor of Shiv Sena mouthpiece ‘Saamana’ has been strongly voicing his party’s stand amid the ongoing standoff over government formation in the state.
try of Law and the Attorney General will be taken on how to proceed on to set up the trust that will fix the modalities for construction of a Ram temple at Ayodhya,” a senior officer said. “Consultation process is ongoing but no decision has been taken so far,” the official added. It is not immediately clear whether the Home Ministry or the Culture Ministry will be the nodal body for the trust, another official said. In a landmark and unanimous verdict on Saturday, the Supreme Court ruled that the entire 2.77 acres of disputed land will be awarded to the deity Ram Lalla, or infant Lord Ram. The five-member Constitution bench, headed by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi, also gave the centre three months to form the trust. The centre’s actions today suggest it will take all of the available time to formu-
late an airtight way forward, in what is still a politically sensitive issue. Muslim petitioners were given a 5-acre plot at a “prominent site”. The Sunni Waqf Board, one of the litigants in the long-running dispute, has said a final decision on accepting the offer of the plot will be taken later this month. The court’s verdict on the Ayodhya land dispute case came after a legal wrangle over the land on which the Babri Masjid, a 16th-century mosque, stood before it was razed in December 1992 by Hindu activists who believed it is the birthplace of Lord Ram. The judges referred to a report by the Archeological Survey of India (ASI) that confirmed a structure existed before the mosque but did not specify if it was a temple. In a 1,045-page order, the court admitted Muslims had been wrongly deprived of the mosque.

NEW DELHI, NOV 11 (AGENCIES): Two days after the Supreme Court said the disputed land in Ayodhya belongs entirely to the deity Ram Lalla, the government has begun the process of forming the trust that will oversee construction of a temple at the spot. Government sources today confirmed that a certain number of senior bureaucrats from top-level ministries, including Home and Finance, will be part of the board that will decide on the make-up of the trust and the rules by which it will function. Sources also said the board has been given express instructions to proceed with caution and study the Supreme Court order fully before deciding on which parties and groups to include.

In all, nearly one lakh BSNL employees are eligible for the voluntary retirement scheme (VRS) out of its total strength of about 1.50 lakh. BSNL has pegged its internal target for VRS at 77,000 employees, and the effective date of voluntary retirement under the present scheme is January 31, 2020. “The number of employees who have opted for VRS so far has reached about 70,000. The response has been strong across the board,” Purwar told PTI. The corporation has also been asked by the telecom department to urgently consider measures to ensure smooth operations and business continuity, especially with regard to the telephone exchanges in rural areas, following launch of the VRS scheme, which is set to bring down its staff strength by nearly half. ‘BSNL Voluntary Retirement Scheme - 2019’ that was rolled out last week will remain open till December 3.

dose of steroids to prepare him for his travel abroad. She said that it will become almost impossible to shift Sharif overseas for treatment in case of a medical emergency. “Nawaz Sharif ’s treatment abroad is being delayed by the delay in taking his name off the ECL,” Geo News quoted Aurangzeb as saying said. “Doctors have said that he cannot be given heavy doses of steroids time and again.” “Doctors have said that Sharif needs to be shifted abroad immediately,” she said. “A delay in his travel is increasing dangers to his health,” she tweeted. She said that doctors were doing their best to increase the platelet count of the former prime minister to ensure his health does not deteriorate when he travels. Firdous Ashiq Awan, the government’s spokesperson, said the de-
cision to remove Sharif from the ECL would be taken after recommendations from the NAB and doctors. “The government itself does not place any individual’s name on the ECL,” she said. “Names are placed on the ECL on the recommendations given by the NAB and the court. Now that an application has been filed for the name to be removed, the same process is being followed,” she also said. Awan further said the delay was caused as government needed recommendations from a board of government doctors and not from Sharif ’s private physicians. She said that the government was expecting to receive the NAB’s recommendations soon and take action accordingly. Punjab health minister Yasmin Rashid told the media in Lahore that a special medical board would meet on Monday to prepare a report in response to a letter by the Ministry of Interior about Sharif ’s health. The Sharif family approached the ministry, requesting the removal of Sharif ’s name from the ECL to pave way for the three-time prime minister to fly abroad for medical treatment. On Saturday, Sharif ’s platelet count was over 20,000.

Rohingyas ‘threat’ to national and regional security: Hasina DHAKA, NOV 11 (PTI): Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday said the over 10 lakh Rohingyas who fled from Myanmar to her country in the wake of “persecution” are a “threat to the security” of the entire region as she urged the global community to resolve the issue. According to the UN, as of May 24, 2018, more than 9,00,000 Rohingya Muslims fled Myanmar’s restive Rakhine State since 2017 after large-scale violence following a military crackdown. The exodus of refugees in large numbers has resulted in a major crisis in neighbouring Bangladesh. Addressing the three-day ‘Dhaka Global Dialogue-2019’ here, Hasina said, “In terms of regional security, I would like to say that more than 1.1 million Rohingya citizens of Myanmar fled to Bangladesh in the face of persecution and they are a threat to the security not only for Bangladesh but also for the region.” “I urge the world community to take appropriate
action realising the gravity of the threat.

Bolivia has been plunged into a political and social crisis since the general elections held on October 20 amid allegations of fraud favouring the re-election of Morales for the fourth term until 2025. He has been in power for nearly 14 years Morales announced his resignation after more than two weeks of citizen protests against fraud and clashes between opponents and supporters, in addition to a police uprising in the last two days. Earlier in the day, a report by the Organization of American States (OAS) warned of serious irregularities in the general elections.

LA PAZ, NOV 11 (IANS): Riots erupted across Bolivia after the resignation of President Evo Morales amid mounting pressure to step down following the anti-government protests that have rocked the South American nation since late last month. The riots on Sunday night took place after Morales and Vice President Alvaro Garcia Linera confirmed in a video they there were stepping down from their posts, while calling for calm and peace in Bolivia, reports Efe news. The riots occured in La Paz, El Alto and Cochabamba, among other major cities in the country. Looting and arson attacks were reported mainly in El Alto, one of the political strongholds of Morales, and in several neighbourhoods of La Paz. The Mayor’s Office of La Paz reported that a mob burned 15 buses of the municipal transport service in Kupillani neighbourhood.

LAHORE, NOV 11 (PTI): The danger to Nawaz Sharif ’s health is increasing due to a delay in his travel abroad for treatment, his party has said, as the ailing former Pakistan prime minister awaits removal of his name from the no fly-list. The 69-year-old Pakistan Muslim LeagueNawaz (PML-N) supremo agreed on Friday to go to the UK for the treatment, heeding doctors’ advice and accepting his family’s request. He was scheduled to leave for London on a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight on Sunday morning. Sharif is suffering from multiple health complications, including erratic platelet count, and is currently being taken care at his residence near Lahore where an ICU has been set up. The government could not remove Sharif ’s name from the no fly-list (Exist Control List-ECL) as the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chairman, Javed Iqbal was not available to issue a no objection certificate in the case.

MADRID, NOV 11 (IANS): The Spanish Socialist Party (PSOE) of acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has won most of the seats in the country’s fourth general election, but fell short of a majority while right-wing parties made major gains, it was reported on Monday. The election on Sunday was necessitated after the PSOE fell short of a majority and was unable to form a coalition after the last polls which were held in April. With 99.30 per cent of the votes counted, the PSOE won 28 per cent of the votes, compared with 28.67 per cent in April, which translated into 120 seats in the 350-seat congress, compared with the 123 they won in April, reports Xinhua news agency. The conservative Peoples’ Party improved on their April performance, and came in second after winning 20.81 per cent of the votes and 88 seats, compared with their record low of 16.69 per cent and 66 seats in the previous polls. But the big winner was the far-right Vox party, which won 15.10 per cent of the vote and 52 deputies compared to 10.26 per cent and 24 seats in the April vote, to become the country’s third most-powerful party. “Eleven months ago we didn’t have any representation in any institution, now we are the third party in Spain,” said Vox leader

Ligue 1: 10-man Marseille beat Lyon 2-1
Marseille’s Dimitri Payet celebrates after scoring a goal during their Ligue 1 match against Lyon at the Stade Velodrome. Paris, Nov 11 (Agencies): Dimitri Payet scored twice as 10-man Marseille beat rivals Lyon 2-1 on Sunday in a bad-tempered derby which was overshadowed by the behaviour of a record home crowd. The build-up to the game was focused on former Marseille boss Rudi Garcia’s return to the Stade Velodrome after his controversial decision to join Lyon as coach, but it is more likely
to be remembered for ugly scenes off the pitch. Home supporters attacked the Lyon bus with stones, bottles and other projectiles on its way to the stadium, before visiting players were repeatedly bombarded with objects thrown from the crowd while taking corners during the match. Payet netted a first-half double as Marseille moved second in the Ligue 1 table, eight points adrift of Paris
Saint-Germain. The match was also suspended for two minutes in the second half due to thick smoke billowing around the pitch, coming from pyrotechnics by the record Marseille crowd of 65,421. Earlier in the evening, around 6,000 fans had gathered at a city beach to perform a short but boisterous ceremonial parade to celebrate Marseille’s 120th anniversary.
Controversy also reigned on the pitch early on, as Marseille were awarded a penalty in the 13th minute for a clear handball by Thiago Mendes. But there was a lengthy stoppage for a VAR review, before Leo Dubois collapsed to the floor in apparent agony after being lightly slapped by Dario Benedetto as the players waited for the penalty to be taken. Another VAR check
deciding against sending off the Marseille forward, with Payet slamming the spot-kick into the top corner five minutes after it had been originally awarded. Lyon str ug g le d to pose a threat up front, although their players did have to avoid several missiles, including plastic bags and cups, thrown from the stands. Marseille moved two goals in front when Payet, who was in inspired form, won the ball from Bertrand Traore inside his own half, before later finishing the move with a low drive into the bottom corner. Lyon gave themselves hope shortly after the interruption as Moussa Dembele headed home in the 59th minute when Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda and defender Alvaro left Traore’s cross for each other. Spaniard Alvaro was sent off just minutes later for hauling down Dembele with the striker clean through on goal. But OM managed to hold on despite some late Lyon pressure, with Martin Terrier blasting the final chance wide in the 90th minute. Garcia’s Lyon remain 14th in the table, only four points above the relegation zone.

DoSE to set up commission to review communitisation (From p-1) Shanavas said education dealt with schools, teachers and students, but in Nagaland, most of programmes were teachercentric. Ignoring the welfare students, he said most of the time the teachers remained busy with transfer and posting, adding it was time to shift the focus on the students. Observing that many took refuge in the teaching job for the sake of a government job, he wondered whether the government school teachers were committed to their profession. In his keynote address, Nagaland Education Association (NEA) president Dr Zavise Rume explained that the association had been observing the day to honour and respect educationists, besides rededicating itself to the cause of humanity and education. According to Rume, education must become a national agenda and that the State government must continue to give priority to this sector, create an institute for communitisation education to generate and accelerate manpower resources, promote research and training to sustain communitisation as a system of education and also review the communitisation policy to give more powers to the
education field officers so as to strengthen the system. He said the practice of engaging proxies by the teachers had degraded the teaching profession, adding this was practised with the full knowledge of local education committees. He said the State government was wasting huge resources as children in many areas had started to desert government schools, and called for a strong legislation to deal with the situation. Further calling for involvement of professionally qualified and experienced educationists in the decision-making process, the NEA president said the educationists must be given a fair chance to provide professional opinions in matters related to education like in other professions. He said the State government must also come out with a strong and a clear-cut policy on education and reminded that NEA had already launched a policy research on education system in Nagaland. The programme was organised by NEA in collaboration with the directorate of school education. NEA new team announced: The search committee of Nagaland Education Association (NEA)

India women thrash Windies in 2nd T20I
Indian players celebrate after taking a wicket during the 2nd T20 match against West Indies.
Gros Islet, Nov 11 (IANS): Shafali Verma continued with her prolific run as she helped India women defeat West Indies women by 10 wickets in the second T20I of the fivematch series at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground. Chasing a modest target of 104 on Sunday evening, Indian eves broke little sweat as both the Indian openers, who stitched a record partnership in the first match, got the team across the line in the 11th over. Earlier, Anisa Mohammed, who was captaining the side after Stafanie Taylor was ruled out of the series due to injury, won the toss and elected to bat first.
Just like the opening game, runs were again hard to come as Hayley Matthews and Stacy-Ann King opened the batting. StacyAnn was the first to go for 7 followed by Shemaine Campbelle for a four-ball 0. Chedean Nation steadied the Windies middle order with Hayley, as the pair added 34 runs together before the opener - in her attempt to hit a straight six -- was caught in the deep for 23. Chedean fell soon after for 32 as Natasha McLean was the only other batter to reach double figures. She made 17. The hosts finished their 20 overs on 103/7. Spinner Deepti Sharma
was the pick of the Indian bowlers as she returned with figures of 4/10 from her four overs. Shafali, who on Saturday had become the youngest Indian to score an internationally fifty, took a liking to the West Indies’ bowling. The 15-year-old struck her second consecutive half-century to lead the Indians to victory in the 11th over. She finished on 69 not out while her opening partner Smriti Mandhana remained unbeaten at 30. India won the match reaching 104/0 in 10.3 overs. Afy Fletcher was the most economical West Indies Women’s bowler with 0/11. With a lead of 2-0, India will now aim to seal the series when they take on West Indies in the third T20I at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on Thursday. Brief scores: West Indies 103/7 in 20 overs (Chedean Nation 32, Hayley Matthews 23; Deepti Sharma 4-10) lost to India 104/0 in 10.3 overs (Shafali Verma 69 not out, Smriti Mandhana 30 out) by 10 wickets
was earlier scheduled to host India in the Davis Cup Asia Oceania Group-I Tie on September 14-15 at the grass courts of Pakistan Sports Complex, Islamabad, where matches against Uzbekistan, Korea and Thailand have taken place in 2017 and 2018. But the ITF announced early this month that the tie would be held at a neutral venue to be chosen by Pakistan after the All India Tennis Association (AITA) requested the tie to be shifted from Islamabad. The ITF said it had acted on the recommendations of its independent security advisors. Saifullah also said if their appeal was not accepted, the PTF had some other options and was working on those. “We may tell the ITF that we’ll not nominate the neutral venue. We’ll request it to ask AITA to choose where its outfit wants to play,” he added. Saifullah said the Indian officials had used the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl’s (JUI-F) ongoing sit-in in Islamabad to convince the ITF that their players would not be able to focus on the matches.

Bengaluru Open returns to ATP Tour
K a r ac h i , N ov 1 1 (PTI): Pakistan has filed an appeal with the International Tennis Federation (ITF), challenging its decision to shift the Davis Cup tie against India to a neutral venue with the assertion that Islamabad is well-equipped to host the clash. The Pakistan Tennis Federation (PTF) President Salim Saifullah told PTI on Sunday that a formal appeal has been filed with the international body and they were expecting a positive response by November 15. “We have pointed out that we are fully prepared to host India for the Davis Cup tie as there is no security issue and nor should political ties between the two countries over-ride our chance of hosting a major event,” Saifullah said. Saifullah said the event-free opening of the Kartarpur corridor on Saturday is a clear indicator that despite the ongoing diplomatic tensions it is possible to host the Indian tennis team in Islamabad. “I think our case is very strong because there is no viable argument for shifting the tie to a neutral venue,” he said.

Deepak Chahar Asked what was his strategy considering that there was no nip in the air and the ball wasn’t swinging a lot, he said: “Since the side boundaries (at VCA Stadium) were big, we planned that we will have to force the batsmen to play shots on the sides. I also wanted to vary the pace as the ball was getting wet because of the dew and it was difficult to grip.” The pacer had dismissed one batsman on the last ball of the 18th over and then he dismissed two batsmen in the opening two balls of the 20th over. “I came to know in the end that I got a hat-trick since I got the first wicket off the last ball of previous over. Even if you sit back at home and dream, you will not think that in four overs, you will get six wickets for 7 runs,” he said.

Nag p u r , N ov 1 1 (IANS): Right-arm pacer Deepak Chahar took apart the Bangladesh batting to hand India a series-clinching 30-run win in the third and final T20I at the VCA Stadium on Sunday. During his magical spell, the 27-yearold Rajasthan seamer went on to become the first Indian bowler to score a hat-trick in T20Is. His figures of 6/7 were the best so far in T20 internationals as he surpassed the previous record held by Sri Lanka’s Ajantha Mendis who had scalped 6/8 against Zimbabwe in 2012. After a memorable night, Deepak revealed that his stint with Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Chennai Super Kings helped him to bowl in conditions which are generally difficult because of the dew. “Playing in Chennai, I have now realised how to counter dew and sweat. How to keep my hands clean. At times, rub dry soil in your hands and then bowl (so that the hands don’t get slippery),” the seamer said while interacting with Yuzvendra Chahal alongside Shreyas Iyer on Chahal TV.
Cyclone Bulbul: Mamata sets up task force
KAKDWIP (WB)/NEW DELHI, NOV 11 (PTI): Lauding the administration in South 24 Parganas district for its initiatives to minimise the impact of Cyclone ‘Bulbul’, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday announced a compensation of Rs 2 lakh for the families of each of those killed in the storm. Banerjee also constituted a task force to look into the relief and restoration work. She urged people to “stay positive” and stand beside those who have been affected by the cyclone. C yc l o n e ‘ B u l b u l ’ , which made landfall between Sagar Islands in South 24 Parganas and Khepupara in Bangladesh, claimed at least 10 lives and affected six lakh people in different parts of Bengal. As many as 1.78 lakh people have been shifted to 471 relief camps set up in the state. The CM, following an aerial survey of the cycloneravaged areas of Namkhana and Bakkhali, held an administrative meeting here to review the work being undertaken in the aftermath of the disaster. “My administration did a commendable job.

Power services in cyclone-hit areas of Odisha, Bengal restored; phones soon
Mamata Banerjee (File) If they (officials) had not rescued 1.78 lakh people, I cannot say what would have happened. They will be rewarded. Even the central government applauded (the efforts),” she said. Stressing that restoration of power supply, provision of clean drinking water and medicines were the need of the hour, Banerjee asked officials to reach out to people and ensure that the aid was evenly distributed without affecting peace in the region. She appointed Chief Secretary Rajiva Sinha as the head of the task force which, she said, would be reviewing the ongoing relief work every 48 hours. Taking note of the damage caused to betel leaf cultivation and paddy in the district, the TMC supremo
directed departments of irrigation, forest and power to work in tandem for restoring normalcy. The Trinamool Congress supremo also advised the officials to take help of civic volunteers of Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA), Integrated Child Development Services (ICDR) to speed up the relief operations. A total of 323 kitchens have been opened to cater to the cyclone-hit families and 94 boats employed to aid in the restoration work, the CM said. “As of now, reports suggest that six lakh people have been affected by the cyclone. The number might increase in the days to come,” she added. Banerjee is set to visit cyclone-affected areas of Basirhat in North 24Parganas on Wednesday.
Power services in cyclone ‘Bulbul’ hit areas in West Bengal and Odisha have been restored on Monday, while telecommunication links are expected to be back soon. This was conveyed at a meeting of the National Crisis Management Committee (NCMC), chaired by Cabinet Secretary Rajiv Gauba, which took stock of the relief and restoration works in the aftermath of the cyclone over West Bengal and Odisha. West Bengal reported seven human casualties, damages to about one lakh houses and standing crops, an official statement said. While electricity has been restored, telecom services are expected to be restored shortly. Though no human casualty was reported from Odisha, there has been extensive damage to standing crops in over two lakhs hectares. Power and water supplies have been restored barring a few areas where services are expected to be resumed by Tuesday, the statement said. The NCMC assured all central assistance in terms of additional stocks of food items, drinking water, health services as well as restoration of telecom and power services. Central teams would be visiting the affected areas in both the states within this week to take stock of the damages. Both the states indicated that they are carrying out detailed assessment after which they may seek specific central assistance, if required. It may be recalled that IMD had provided regular and timely alerts on a sustained basis about the cyclone to the states. Concerned central agencies including National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), Coast Guard etc have been fully involved in rescue and relief operations, the statement said.

Ex-NCM chief Habibullah says Ayodhya verdict ‘deeply flawed’, favours review NEW DELHI, NOV 11 (PTI): Terming the Supreme Court’s Ayodhya verdict “deeply flawed”, former National Commission for Minorities chief Wajahat Habibullah on Monday favoured a review of the judgment, saying that it could have legal implications in the future. Habibullah, who was also India’s first chief information commissioner, said the Supreme Court ruling tries to address the concerns of the two communities. “I feel that the verdict is deeply flawed. I would not call the verdict constructive, but it is not a destructive verdict either. In the sense that it tries to address the concerns of the two major communities,” he told PTI. “It has held for example that the destruction of the mosque was illegal... and that is very important. They also recognised that the Hindus also have a stake, though the nature of the stake, I would disagree with,” said Habibullah, who was CIC from 20052010 and later was the NCM chief. On National Commission for Minorities chairperson Ghayorul Hasan Rizvi’s claim that Muslims are happy with
Wajahat Habibullah the judgment, the former NCM chief said his opinion does not carry much weight with the Muslim community. Asked about whether the Muslim side should file a review petition over the verdict, Habibullah said the Supreme Court judgment has legal implications, therefore, it would be a “good idea for the Supreme Court to have a second look”. The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) had said on Saturday that it was was contemplating seeking a review of the Ayodhya verdict. Zafaryab Jilani, a lead counsel for the Muslim parties in the Ayodhya land dispute case, has said the decision on seeking a review of the verdict would likely be taken in a meeting of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIM-
PLB) on Sunday. Several Muslim leaders and organisations have argued against seeking a review and called for not pursuing the matter any further. Sources in the prominent Muslim body Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind have said it was not in favour of filing a review petition and wants the matter to end. The Uttar Pradesh Sunni Central Waqf Board, one of the main litigants in the Ram JanmbhoomiBabri Masjid case, has welcomed the Supreme Court verdict and said it has no plans to challenge it. Taking a similar line, the Shahi Imam of the Jama Masjid in Delhi, Syed Ahmed Bukhari had said the matter should not be stretched further. Expressing satisfaction with the Supreme Court judgment in the Ayodhya case, Iqbal Ansari, one of the litigants, had also said he will not challenge it in court. In a historic verdict, the Supreme Court on Saturday backed the construction of a Ram temple by a government trust at the disputed site in Ayodhya, and ruled that an alternative five-acre plot must be found for a mosque in the Hindu holy town.

fulfil our religious needs, the apex court has given its verdict in favour of Ram Temple. The issue is closed now,” he said. The Uttar Pradesh government has started the process of identifying alternative sites in and around Ayodhya for the proposed mosque, sources said.

case in trial court, Allahabad High Court and the Supreme Court. While decreeing the law suit in favour of deity “Ram Lalla Virajman”, the apex court had exercised its extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 142 of the Constitution and directed the Centre to allot five acres of land to the Sunni Central Waqf Board for construction of the mosque. It clarified that either the central government could give the five-acre land to the Sunni Waqf Board from the nearly 68 acres land that it had acquired in 1993 under the Acquisition of Certain Area at Ayodhya Act or the state government could hand over the piece of land at a “suitable prominent place in Ayodhya”.
This is not fair,” Ansari said. Soon after the judgement, Ansari had said on Saturday that he will not file a review plea. Maulana Jalal Ashraf, a local cleric, said Muslims can buy land on their own to build a mosque are not dependent on the government for it. “If the court or the government wants to pacify our sentiments to some extent , the five acre land must be given to in the acquired area as many graveyards and Dargaah including that of 18th century Sufi saint Qazi Qudwah are in that area,” he said.

NEW DELHI, NOV 11 (PTI): A lead counsel for the Muslim parties in the Ayodhya land dispute case has said the decision on seeking a review of the verdict would likely be taken in a meeting of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) on Sunday. In a historic and unanimous verdict, a five-judge constitution bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi had cleared the way for the construction of a Ram temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya, and directed the Centre to allot a five-acre plot to the Sunni Waqf Board for building a mosque. “The decision whether to seek review of the verdict will be taken on November 17 in the meeting of the AIMPLB,” senior
AYODHYA, NOV 11 (PTI): The five acres of land to be allocated for building a mosque under the Supreme Court verdict in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute should be within the 67 acres of acquired land in Ayodhya, Iqbal Ansari, a main litigant in the case, and several other local Muslim leaders have demanded. The central government had acquired the land including the disputed site in 1991. “If they want to give us the land, they must give us according to our convenience and only in that acquired land of 67 acres. Then we will take it. Otherwise we will reject the offer, as people are saying ‘Go out of Chaudah Kos and construct Masjid there’.

JNU student protestors clash with police CRPF takes over security of Gandhis HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal stuck for over 6 hours
NEW DELHI, NOV 11 (PTI): Thousands of students of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) clashed with police on Monday as their protest over fee hike on the varsity’s convocation day escalated, forcing HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ to stay inside the AICTE premises for over six hours. The students were protesting near the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE), the venue for varsity’s third convocation. The protests started in the morning and escalated as the day progressed with angry crowds of students trying to push through a wall of anti-riot police personnel to approach the venue. Several blockades put up by the police were also broken by the protesting students, who started their march towards the AICTE, about 3 km away from the university’s south Delhi campus, around 11.30 am. They were stopped a short distance away from the AICTE auditorium, where Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu was addressing the university’s convocation. Water cannons were used to disperse the protestors and police said some of the students were detained. Top brass of the Delhi Police were at the site to handle the

situation. Barricades were also placed outside the north and west gates of the JNU campus, as well as on the route between the AICTE auditorium and the university at Baba Balaknath Marg and nearby areas, a police officer said. The angry students raised slogans against the varsity’s vice chancellor and also the Delhi Police. The students are demanding withdrawal of the draft hostel manual, which they claimed has provisions for fee hike, dress code and curfew timings. The gates of the AICTE were locked and security
personnel were stationed in and outside the premises. While Naidu left the venue after attending the convocation, the HRD Minister was stuck inside for over six hours forcing him to cancel two scheduled events later in the day. The minister was able to leave the premises around 4.15 PM. “The situation has been handled. Students met the minister and he assured them that their concerns will be addressed,” a senior HRD Ministry official said. An officer said JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh and vice president Saket Moon were asked to talk to the students to make way for the
minister. Police requested them to move from the gate, but they refused. The JNUSU officebearers later met ‘Nishank’ who assured them that their demands would be looked into. They, however, were not able to meet the VC and raised slogans “we want V-C”. “The VC is destroying the varsity. We have made several attempts to meet him in campus, but there has been no fruitful result,” Ghosh said. Around 15 to 20 students who were graduating were sitting inside the auditorium main gate in solidarity with the protestors.
“Historic day for us that we broke barricades, reached the convocation venue and met the minister,” Ghosh said. “This could happen because we were united. This is not the end of our movement. We urged the HRD minister to ask the V-C to have a dialogue with the students. It is due to him that things have come to be like this,” she added. Ghosh claimed that the HRD minister has promised that students’ union would be called for meeting to the ministry. “We will have to ask the executive council members to reject the hostel manual in its upcoming meeting on Wednesday,” Ghosh said. Students wanted to meet the vice chancellor and demand withdrawal of the draft hostel manual. A protesting student said, “The university administration’s policies are against students who are from marginalised sections of the society. The hostel fee has been increased to 300 per cent. Where will the students stay and study if this happens with us.” Some students attending the convocation also shouted slogans from inside the AICTE gate even as their parents, who came here to attend the ceremony, were stuck due to the protest.

The Gandhis are now without SPG protection after 28 years. They were included in the VVIP security list following an amendment in September, 1991 in the SPG Act of 1988.

The CRPF, the designated lead force for conducting anti-Naxal operations and internal security tasks in the country, has about 52 other VVIPs under its cover, including Union home minister Amit Shah, former prime minister Manmohan Singh and RIL chairman Mukesh Ambani and his wife Neeta Ambani.

New Delhi, Nov 11 (IANS): Delhi Environment Minister Kailash Gahlot on Monday wrote to the Chief Ministers of Pubjab and Haryana urging them for immediate actions to stop stubble burning in their states. Speaking to the media, Gahlot said that he also wrote to Union Environment Minister Prakash Jaavdekar over the same and expressed the displeasure as the meeting called by the Centre on November 9 for air pollution was not attended by the Environment ministers from Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab. “The major reason for the air pollution in the national capital is the stubble burning in the neighbouring states. Despite the Supreme Court’s intervention, the Environment Ministers of the four states did not attend the meeting,” Gahlot said. He said he has written in his letter to the Centre that apart from the Environment Ministers from these states, the three MCD commissioners from Delhi and DDA Vice Chairman were also not part of the meeting. In his letter to the two Chief Ministers, Gahlot urged them to take action against the stubble burning and urged them for using technology to substitute the stubble burning. Y

government has “made a mockery out of the economy”. “They have utterly failed to pay attention to the economy. Wheat production has gone down by 30 per cent in the past year. Similarly, rice production has declined by 30-40 per cent”. “Of the cotton target of 15 million bales set, a mere 8 per cent was achieved,” the JUI-F supremo added.
Turkey begins deporting foreign IS members A N K A R A , N OV 1 1 (IANS): Turkey has started deporting foreign fighters of the Islamic State (IS) terror group, starting off with an American and soon to be followed by seven Germans, an Interior Ministry spokesman said on Monday. “A US citizen IS terrorist has been repatriated after the completion of legal procedures,” Ministry spokesman Ismail Catakli told the state-run Anadolu Agency, adding that the Germans will be deported on Thursday. “Turkey will extradite them no matter what,” he said. Three more IS members will deported on Monday, Catakli said but did not reveal their nationalities. He also did not immediately provide further information on the IS members but said they were being held in deportation centres, Hurriyet Daily News reported. Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu had warned last week that Ankara would begin to send IS members to their home countries on Monday even if their citizenships have
been revoked. Soylu did not provide any numbers or say which countries they would be sent back to. He added that Turkey was not “a hotel” for IS terrorists. Turkey aims to extradite around 2,500 IS terrorists, the majority of whom will be sent to European Union (EU) nations, state broadcaster TRT Haber said. Ankara has repeatedly called on European countries, including France, to take back their citizens who are IS fighters. Europeans comprise a fifth of the around 10,000 IS members held captive in Syria. Denmark, Germany and Britain have so far revoked some citizenships. Turkey has so far deported 7,500 IS members, Anadolu reported citing President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as saying last week, adding that there were currently 1,149 terrorists in Turkish prisons. Since Ankara recognized IS as a terrorist group in 2013, the Turkish state has been attacked by the group numerous times, including 10 suicide bombings, seven bombings, and four armed attacks which killed 315 people.
Meanwhile, JUI-F has decided to give the protesters participating in the party’s anti-government sit-in, which has continued since October 31, food supplies which will last them a week. The supplies include pulses, sugar, tea leaves, clarified butter, and salt, among other essential food items. According to the party spokesperson, the distribution has been made possible by the “charitable members of the party”. The supplies were expected to be distributed throughout the protest camp on Monday. Rehman, who is leading the massive ‘Azadi March’, is demanding Prime Minister Khan’s resignation, accusing him of rigging the 2018 general elections.

HONG KONG, NOV 11 (IANS): Hong Kong police reportedly fired live rounds at protesters on Monday, hitting at least one demonstrator, as the financial hub woke up to widespread traffic chaos marking the beginning of a citywide strike. Later in the course of the day, another man was doused in flammable liquid and set alight after arguing with protesters, reported BBC. Shortly before 8 a.m., videos emerged of a traffic police officer firing three shots at close range at two black-clad men in the middle-class residential area of Sai Wan Ho, where a group of protesters were blocking traffic, reports Efe news. In a video captured by Cupid News, the officer was first seen running across a road, apparently giving chase, before he stopped and started to walk back. In a sudden movement, he turned around,

took out his gun and grabbed a young man in white hoodie wearing a mask. The young man struggled and the officer then appeared to fire a shot at close range into the stomach of an approaching black-clad masked man who dropped to the ground. In the footage, bystanders confronted the
officer who then fired two more shots, with another person dropping to the ground. After the shooting, the 21-year old protester was lying with his eyes wide open and with blood around him, a video footage showed. He has undergone surgery and remains in a criti-
cal condition, a Hospital Authority spokesman told the media. Later on Monday a pro-Beijing supporter was doused in flammable liquid and set alight after arguing with protesters, who are demanding greater democracy and police accountability in Hong Kong. “The man is now admitted to hospital in critical
condition and the case is under investigation by the regional crime unit of New Territories South,” Chief Superintedent John Tse told reporters. The citywide strike on Monday was called by anti-government netizens after the death of a 22-yearold university student Alex Chow Tsz-lok on Friday. He fell from a height in a car park on November 3 and suffered serious brain injuries under circumstances that are still unclear. Chaos continued to escalate in the former British colony early Monday morning as the strike brought traffic chaos to various parts of the city during rush hour. Police were out in force early, with riot officers deployed in various districts. Following the shooting incident, an angry crowd gathered in Sai Wan Ho and shouted “murderers” at the police who cordoned off and guarded roads in the area.

At least 100 people have been injured, including 20 firefighters, in the blazes that escalated on Friday, according to the region’s ambulance service.
More than 60 fires continue to burn across the state, of which 40 are yet to be contained, the Rural Fire Service said. “Many of these fires won’t be contained ahead of tomorrow’s dangerous fire weather. Catastrophic fire danger has been declared for Tuesday in Sydney and Hunter areas,” the emergency ser vice tweeted. Temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius were expected on Tuesday, with dry conditions and strong winds. In addition to NSW, where fires have devastated 850,000 hectares of land since the beginning of the
year, in parts of the state of Queensland, 50 bushfires have also been declared in recent days. The fire season in Australia varies by area and weather conditions, although they are generally recorded in the southern summer (between the months of December to March). In recent years, fires in Australia - which this year has also suffered severe drought - have increased in intensity, with many experts linking them to climate change. The worst fires in the Oceanic country in recent decades occurred in early February 2009 in the state of Victoria. They caused 173 deaths and 414 wounded, and burned an area of 4,500 sq.km.

Liverpool stun City to go 8 points clear Juventus sink AC Milan in Serie A LIVERPOOL, Nov 11 (Agencies): Liverpool opened up an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League with an emphatic and hugely impressive 3-1 win over defending champions Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday. The victory, sealed with goals from Fabinho, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, leaves unbeaten Liverpool on 34 points from 12 games, eight ahead of Leicester City and Chelsea, and nine in front of Pep Guardiola’s fourth-placed City. While talk of decisive results in November, with 26 games of the campaign remaining, is premature, the manner of Liverpool’s win over a team which has dominated the league for the past two seasons was certainly a declaration of intent. “The boys were completely focused and concentrated. It was so good,” Liverpool boss Juergen Klopp said. A n f i e l d ex p l o d e d when Liverpool grabbed a sixth-minute lead with a thundering drive from Brazilian Fabinho, who pounced on a poor clearance from Ilkay Gundogan and blasted past Claudio

Bravo from over 20 metres out. Yet City felt the stunning effort should have been ruled out — and a penalty awarded to them — as prior to the break that led to the goal Liverpool defender Trent AlexanderArnold appeared to handle the ball inside the box but the VAR review went against the visitors. It was the latest VAR controversy in the Premier
League and is certain to spark more debate, but while the opening goal set the tone, Liverpool’s dominance was soon evident all across the field. City pushed forward in response and Raheem Sterling missed a closerange header, but Liverpool struck again in the 13th minute when Andy Robertson crossed from the left and Salah nodded the bouncing ball past Bravo to
make it 2-0. Juergen Klopp’s European champions, without a domestic league title since 1990, now had a firm grip on the game and caused constant trouble for City’s shaky defence with their powerful surges forward. Liverpool were on top physically and their pressing stopped City from establishing their usual possession game but still they managed to carve out
Thiem stuns Federer at ATP Finals
Dominic Thiem
French Open runnerup Thiem, who has claimed five titles this season, including a maiden Masters 1000 at Indian Wells, was making his fourth appearance at the end-of-season tournament where he has yet to make progress past the round-robin stage. The French Open runner-up was by no means intimidated by Federer and he made a crisp start by winning the opening
couple of games before the Swiss warmed to proceedings as he quickly restored parity. But Federer dropped serve for the second time in the match when a couple of unforced errors at 5-5 handed Thiem the opportunity to serve out the set and the Austrian obliged. Thiem stayed ultraaggressive in a tight second set while Federer’s footwork and timing appeared
Juventus’ Paulo Dybala wheels away in celebration after scoring a goal during their Serie A match against AC Milan.
TURIN, Nov 11 (Agencies): Juventus stayed top of Serie A with a 1-0 win over AC Milan thanks to Paulo Dybala’s fine strike on Sunday after Cristiano Ronaldo was substituted for the second game in a row and walked straight down the tunnel, clearly unhappy at the decision. Cristiano Ronaldo’s replacement Paulo Dybala scored in the 77th minute with a goal the Portuguese would have been proud of. After a quick exchange of passes, the Argentine twisted past Alessio Romagnoli and beat Gianluigi Donnarumma with a right foot shot.
Ronaldo was taken off in the 55th minute, his earliest substitution since he joined Juve at the start of last season and the first time he has been replaced twice in succession. Juventus, chasing a ninth straight Serie A title and unbeaten in all competitions under Sarri, who took over before the season started, moved to 32 points, a point ahead of Inter Milan who went top after a 2-1 home win over Verona on Saturday. Milan’s problems continued as they were left down in 14th place on 13 points after their ninth successive away defeat to Juve
in Serie A. But they gave an improved performance and had the better chances in the first half. Misfiring striker Krzysztof Piatek headed wide from an unmarked position and Lucas Paqueta’s looping header forced Wojciech Szczesny into a difficult save. Hakan Calhanoglu also tested Szczesny in the second half with a free kick before Dybala’s moment of brilliance settled the match. The Argentine nearly struck again in stoppage time but was denied by Donnarumma.
India secure 3 more spots for Tokyo Paralympics
Dubai, Nov 11 (IANS): Top javelin thrower Sundar Singh Gurjar overcame a shoulder injury to claim the second gold for India with a season best performance at the ongoing World Para Athletics Championships. In doing so, Sundar not only defended his London Worlds 2017 title but also became the only second Indian to have clinched two World Championships medal after Devendra Jhajharia’s gold and silver in the 2013 Lyon and 2015 Doha Championships. Staying in the second place till his fifth attempt, Sundar on Sunday hurled the javelin to a distance of 61.22 metres in his sixth attempt, enough to jump to the top of the results table tumbling Sri Lanka’s Dinesh P. Herath Mudiyanselage who led throughout with his 60.59 metre throw in the first attempt. It was in fact a double delight for India as Ajeet Singh managed 59.46 metres to settle for the bronze. Compatriot Rinku Rinku took the fourth place with a throw of 57.59 metres. Thus, India secured three more slots for Tokyo 2020 Paralympics. Earlier, Sandeep Chaudhary and Sumit Antil had secured the quota for next year’s Paralympics Games by finishing at the top two spots in the Javelin F64 finals in the ongoing tournament.

L o nd o n, N ov 1 1 (Agencies): Dominic Thiem recorded his third win over Roger Federer in 2019 to cause an early shock at the ATP Finals. The Swiss, who bowed out to Alexander Zverev in the semi-finals last year, was taken out of his comfort zone by Thiem, who sealed a wonderful 7-5 7-5 victory in one hour and 40 minutes of scintillating tennis at London’s O2.
to be letting him down. The 26-year-old executed his game plan to perfection as he broke to love in the 11th game and then served out the match after taking his second match point. Federer, ranked third, will now be a particularly dangerous obstacle for Novak Djokovic, who opened with a handsome win over Italian debutant Matteo Berrettini earlier on Sunday. The rivals are now scheduled to lock horns in the final round-robin match on Thursday. Federer also lost his opening group match last year to Kei Nishikori but recovered to reach the semi-finals. Thiem has now beaten Federer on clay, hard, indoor hard and grass. The Austrian improves to 4-6 and Federer falls to 57-16 at ATP Finals. With that win Thiem will play Djokovic in the next round of matches on Tuesday, while Federer will take on debutant Matteo Berrettini. It means Federer’s group-stage meeting with Djokovic, their first since July’s Wimbledon final, will take place on Thursday. The 38-year-old Swiss will likely need to avenge that five-set defeat at the All England Club if he is to reach the semi-finals at the O2.
some openings. Sergio Aguero, who had a disappointing game, forced Liverpool keeper Alisson Becker into action in the 25th minute and then the Argentine should have done better three minutes before the break when he shot wide after being fed by Kevin De Bruyne. Guardiola needed to adjust something at the break to find a foothold in the game but City’s third defeat of the season, after losses to Norwich City and Wolverhampton Wanderers, was assured when Liverpool made it 3-0 six minutes after the interval. Jordan Henderson superbly worked space on the right flank and whipped in a cross which Mane dived to head home at the back post. Bernardo Silva pulled a goal back for City in the 78th minute, drilling home a low cross from Angelino and the visitors enjoyed some late pressure but it was too late for a comeback from the champions. City have not won at Anfield in the league since May, 2003 — their only win at Liverpool in 38 years, but manager Pep Guardiola took positives from Sunday’s performance.

IOA rejects Draft National Sports Code New Delhi, Nov 11 (PTI): India will incur the International Olympic Committee’s wrath and might even be suspended if it goes ahead with administrative reforms enshrined in the Draft National Sports Code 2017, the IOA has warned, rejecting the proposed document completely. The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) also expressed surprise with the government’s move to seek feedback on the draft after the Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju, on October 11, announced the formation of a committee to look into the contentious provisions such age and tenure cap on officials, which are being opposed by National Sports Federations. Despite the announcement by Rijiju, the ministry, through its Director (Sports), sent a letter to the IOA on October 24 to send feedback on the Draft National Sports Code latest by November 10.
IOA Secretary General Rajeev Mehta, in turn, sent a note rejecting the changes proposed by the 2017 Draft National Sports Code. “We, the IOA and all our members, outrightly reject the new Draft Sports Code as it interferes in the autonomy of the IOA and its members. The Sports Code was discussed with GOI MYAS and implemented in 2014 in IOA Statutes which enabled IOA to regain its recognition in 2012,” Mehta said in the feedback letter sent to the ministry. “Any further interference in IOA Autonomy will also be taken seriously by IOC and OCA and can
once again lead to suspension of membership IOA. We certainly hope that it is not the intention of the Sports Ministry to send Indian contingent to Tokyo in 2020 Olympics under IOC Flag and not the Indian Flag.” The IOA was suspended by the IOC in December 2012 for government interference and was reinstated 14 months later after assurances on autonomy. Expressing surprise at the insistence of the ministry to furnish feedback on the Draft Sports Code, he wrote: “We are willing to work together by forming a small committee to take it forward as was agreed on 11.10.2019 and we sincerely hope that MYAS will also stand by what was conveyed to IOA & NSF’s in the 11th October, 2019 meeting.” The National Sports Code 2011 is currently in force but a new National Sports Code was drafted in 2017.
the match. Head Hunters kicked off the second half in an urgent manner as they were not able to find the break through, but Rustic Boys showed their class with defensive approach heading away cross after cross to keep the match in their hand. Despite failing to create any clear chances in the game, luck did favoured the Thizama team as they went to pull through a stunning victory over the defending champions in the encounter via tie breaker. Earlier in the first match, Shurhosul Zhotso hat-trick fired Kohima Eagles into the quarterfinal of the tournament. They beat Naga Jaguars FC 3-0. Zhotso, who failed to score in NSF Martyrs Memorial Trophy, managed to find the back of the net in the 7th minute for Kohima Eagles. He doubled the tally in the 39th minute and completed his hat-trick in the 41st minute to put his team into the next round. Kohima Eagles FC will play against Rustic Boys FC in the quarter final round of the tournament on November 15.

The 17-year-old World Cup and the Asian Games gold-medallist shot 244.5 to finish second on the podium behind North Korea’s Kim Song Guk, who won the top prize with a world record 246.5.

Chaudhary had a great start to the final and had a series of 10 and above scores but the North Korean was in a league of his own on the day. Both Chaudhary and Verma had already secured their Olympic quotas in the earlier competitions. The air pistol quotas from this competition went to Iran, North Korea and Pakistan as India and China had already secured the maximum two quotas each.

Paes slips to 101 in ATP doubles ranking Kolkata, Nov 11 (IANS): Tennis star Leander Paes on Monday slipped to 101 after losing five places in the ATP doubles chart.

Paes (856 points) is now the fourth-highest ranked Indian player behind Rohan Bopanna (38), Divij Sharan (46) and Purav Raja (93).

Leicester’s Evans plays down title talk
Jonny Evans
L o nd o n , N o v 1 1 (Agencies): Leicester City defender Jonny Evans has said it is too early to consider his side as Premier League title contenders despite an impressive 2-0 win over Arsenal that saw them move up to second in the table. Goals from Jamie Vardy and James Maddison at the King Power Stadium on Saturday earned Leicester a sixth win in their last seven league matches, their only defeat coming at the hands of leaders Liverpool. Brendan Rodgers’ side have one more point than they
did at the same stage of their stunning 2015/16 titlewinning season but Evans was keen to play down expectations ahead of a busy winter schedule. “I don’t think you’ll be able to judge that until after Christmas when we’re getting into it,” Evans told reporters. “We’ve shown we can battle games out but we’ve just got to do what we’re doing and see where it takes us. We’re in good confidence at the moment but the next period, especially being Christmas, will really test everyone’s squad.”
