CM calls on Sumis to be warriors of unity Dimapur, NOV 14: Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio Wednesday called upon the Sumi community to be warriors of unity, peace, reconciliation and all-round development and play a leading role in bringing permanent peace.

Addressing the Ahuna cum Mini Hornbill Festival at Zunheboto, Rio acknowledged that Sumi warriors were known for their bravery and recalled that in his earlier tenure as chief minister, he had named Zunheboto as the ‘Land of Warriors’.

“You are special, you are hardworking. The story of the Sema Naga Labour Corps 1917-18 is known to all Nagas. Out of about 2000 Labour Corps, about half of that were Sumis. This means you are warriors, adventurous and hard working,” Rio said and appreciated the contributions of the Sumis to the Naga society.

According to him, the meaning of Ahuna as displayed by various cultural troupes indicated that it was a post harvest festival, which signified that “our forefathers were hard-working, worked hard throughout the year and celebrated the festival”.

So, it was a reminder to the present generation

Neiphiu Rio

that one had to work to eat, he added.

He reminded the people that Centre has already recognized Naga history as unique and the Naga issue was a political issue which needed political settlement.

He called upon the people to ensure that the rich cultural heritage, traditions etc. are not only preserved but promoted so that the younger generations do not lose touch with history.

Keeping these in mind, he said the PDA government decided to hold mini Hornbills in the districts coinciding with the respective tribal festivals so that true meaning can be brought to the phrase ‘Nagaland – Land of Festivals’.

Stating that he was happy to learn that there were different species of butterflies found in Zunhe-

boto district, Rio urged the people to conserve them so that the district could become a tourist destination.

Calling for preservation of the environment to check climate change, Rio stated that the state government decided to ban the use of ‘Single Use Plastics’.

With regard to the request of Sumi Hoho for a multipurpose indoor stadium at Zunheboto, Rio assured to construct the stadium and called for collective effort of Zunheboto’s Sumi legislators and the people.

Earlier, greetings were conveyed agriculture and cooperation minister G Kaito Aye, who also welcomed all the dignitaries present at the festival. Others who spoke at the function included Toniho Yeptho, president Nagaland Tribes Council; Zheshito Swu, president Western Sumi Hoho while the vote of thanks was delivered

to be held in New Delhi from January 12 to 24, 2019.

In this regard, he asked ANCSU office-bearers to approach the State government for sending a contingent representing Nagaland, even as he assured all necessary support.

Dwelling on the importance of sports, the PWD minister mentioned, “Sports has no language and unites people. It breaks down walls brought about by politics and other divisive forces.”

He advocated fair play and urged the students to compete hard, but fairly.

Naga Students’ Federation general secretary Imtiyapang Imsong, who also spoke on the occasion, lamented that despite being blessed with talents and capabilities, Naga youth had failed to capitalise on these strengths to make successful careers. (Cont’d on p-8)

Anti-Citizenship Bill rally in Delhi

GUWAHATI, NOV 14 (PTI): An umbrella organisation of major students unions of the Northeastern states on Wednesday announced that it would hold a rally in New Delhi to press for its demand for withdrawal of the controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016.

The rally would be organised in New Delhi at the beginning of the parliament session NESO chairman Samuel Jyrwa said.

The North East Students Organisation (NESO) accused the central government of threatening the identity, language and culture of the indigenous people of the NE states through the Bill.

The proposed amendment to the Citizenship Bill, 1955 seeks to grant citizenship to people from minority communities -Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians -- from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan after six years of esidence in India instead of 12 even if they don't possess any proper document.

A large section of people and organisations in the Northeast have opposed the bill, saying it will nullify the provisions of the Assam Accord of 1985, which fixed March 24, 1971 as the cut off date for deportation of all illegal Regd. No. 599/18

immigrants irrespective of religion.

"All the states of the North East region have faced the problem of unabated illegal immigration from Bangladesh starting from Independence. The NESO and the people of the Northeast will not accept this Bill," Jyrwa told reporters.

"Successive union governments have chosen to impose heavy burdens of foreigners on these states.

We have noticed disturbing machinations of the union government to encourage further illegal immigration from Bangladesh," he alleged.

Various measures have been taken protect Hindu Bangladeshis who entered illegally into the North East region along with other parts of the country, Jyrwa claimed.

NESO advisor Dr Samujjal Bhattacharya said, "All the measures are communal in character, and therefore, unconstitutional.

Illegal foreigner is a foreigner...whether Hindu or Muslim".

The measures threaten to nullify the ongoing process of preparing the updated National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam and lead to erode the demand for NRC in each of the seven states of the region, he claimed.

The North East as a priority is evidenced by the “Japan-India Act East Forum.” This is a unique forum in which we test various ideas for the further development of the North East and put them into action,” Hiramatsu said.

Shillong, Nov 14: Japanese Ambassador to India, Kenji Hiramatsu on Wednesday said that Japan was serious about enhancing connectivity through improvement or construction of roads and bridges in India’s North Eastern states.

“We are aiming to support the development of this region by connecting not only the intra-regional links within the North East, but also the links between the North East and neighboring countries such as Bangladesh and Myanmar,” he said.

The Japanese diplomat, who was addressing the 3rd India’s international Cherry Blossom festival in the state capital of Meghalaya said that the road connectivity would make North East a gateway to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations

He said that the IndiaJapan collaboration has taken a leap forward because of the efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Conrad added that the festival represents one of the ways of strengthening that relationship further.

“The significance of the festival goes beyond the blooming of cherry trees as it also creates a space for mutual exchange of culture and ideas. The festival will provide a mosaic of sports, culture and culinary delights of Meghalaya, India’s North East and Japan,” Sangma said. Noting that the festival would give a big boost to tourism, not just in Meghalaya but the entire North Eastern region, the Chief Minister expressed hope that the state witnesses more visitors than the impressive footfall at the festival held last year.

Supreme Court reserves order on Rafale Says Rafale pricing can be discussed only if details made public

NEW DELHI, NOV 14 (PTI): The Supreme Court said pricing details of Rafale jets could only be discussed after it decides on whether to make it public, and reserved its order on Wednesday on pleas seeking court-monitored probe in the multi-billion deal amidst the government’s vehement opposition to the public disclosure.

The observation by apex court bench, headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, came after the government refused to publicly divulge pricing details of the deal, saying it would give advantage to India’s enemies.

Hearing a bunch of pleas alleging criminality in Rafale deal and seeking court-monitored probe into it, the apex court asked wide-ranging questions from the government on issues including lack of sovereign guarantee from the French government, selection of Indian offset partner by the Dassault Aviation and need of entering into InterGovernmental Agreement (IGA) with France.

This happened days after the first phase of assembly election to 18 seats in the state was conducted on Monday.

In the other incident a gunfight broke out during a search operation not far from the IED blast spot.

The 85 Battalion of the CRPF troopers were attacked by the insurgents.

Both attacks took place simultaneously at 9.15 a.m. in the Mahadev Ghat area, a police officer said.

Winter session to start from Dec 11 NEW DELHI, NOV 14 (PTI): The month-long Winter Session of Parliament is set to commence from December 11, the day counting of votes will take place for Assembly elections in five states.

The Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs (CCPA) Tuesday night recommended convening of the Winter Session from December 11 to January 8, official sources said Wednesday.

This would be the last full-fledged Parliament session of the Narendra Modiled government before the next Lok Sabha polls.

The results of the Assembly elections, in which both the ruling BJP and the Congress have high stakes, is bound to cast a shadow on parliamentary proceedings.

the secrecy clause”.

“The decision we need to take is whether to bring the fact on pricing in public domain or not,” said the bench, which also comprised justices S K Kaul and K M Joseph.

Vehemently defending non-disclosure of price publicly, Attorney General K K Venugopal said the cost of a bare Rafale jet as per 2016 exchange rate was Rs 670 crore and the disclosure of price of a “fully loaded” aircraft would give an “advantage to the adversaries”.

“If cost of a fully loaded aircraft with weaponry and avionics will be disclosed, our adversaries would be able to know what is the nature of avionics and weapons fitted in it,” he said, adding, that India cannot renegade on agreement with France to disclose confidential information about specifics on avionics and weaponry.

Countering petitioners’ argument that Parliament has been given pricing twice, Venugopal said, “We have been saying that even Parliament has not been told about the complete cost of the jets.”

Pe t i t i o n e r l aw y e r Prashant Bhushan claimed the Union Law Ministry had red-flagged two issues -- absence of sovereign guarantee

by France and international arbitration clause in IGA as per which the arbitration seat would be at Geneva -- but the government went ahead with the deal.

Venugopal admitted that there was no sovereign guarantee, but said that France has given a ‘letter of comfort’ which would be good enough as a governmental guarantee.

He also said issues like types of aircraft and weapons needed to be bought cannot be adjudicated by a court as these were the matters to be decided by experts. During the four-hour long hearing, the bench told Venugopal the court would want to interact with the Indian Air Force (IAF) officers instead of the Defence Ministry officials to know about the requirement of the IAF. “We are dealing with the requirements of the Air Force and would like to ask an Air Force officer about their requirements. We want to hear from an Air force officer and not the official of the Defence Ministry on the issue,” the bench said after the AG informed it that Additional Secretary of Defence Ministry was present in the court.

Later, senior IAF official Air Vice Marshall J Chalapati, alongwith other

top officers including Air Marshal Anil Khosla and Deputy Chief of Air staff, Air Marshal V R Chaudhari appeared in the court and the CJI interacted with Chalapati over the requirements of the IAF. During the hearing, Justice Joseph referred to the 2007 Request for Proposal (RFP) for procurement of 126 Rafale jets and observed, “The RFP was scrapped in June 2015. Then how can you (government) claim that the due process laid down earlier was followed?”.

The CJI also asked Venugopal, “Is the fresh RFP required in an intergovernmental agreement for the 36 jets?”. To this, he said an IGA does not require fresh RFP. The court then asked whether the new 36 jets were same as the bare planes which were sought to be procured in 2007. “Yes”, said Venugopal and added that “deliverables” are much better this time due to the time gap and improvement in technology.

He also said that even in 2007, pricing of weaponry and avionics were not made public as claimed by the petitioners.

On the issue of offset partner, the bench asked the additional defence sec-

retary, “What happens to the country’s interests if the Indian offset partner chosen is not good enough and not able to make good the contract? What was the need to amend offset guidelines with retrospective effect?”.

Responding to the query, the official said if selection of offset partner is not valid, then Dassault would run the risk of the government not accepting its decision on the offset partner and a penalty can also be imposed.

Bhushan, appearing on behalf of himself and former Union ministers Yashwant Sinha and Arun Shourie, alleged that the government was hiding behind the secrecy clause. Advocates M L Sharma, Vineet Dhanda and Dheeraj Singh, counsel for AAP MP Sanjay Singh, who have also filed petitions in the case, also advanced their arguments.

India signed an agreement with France for the purchase of 36 Rafale fighter aircraft in a fly-away condition as part of the upgrading process of Indian Air Force equipment. The estimated cost of the deal is Rs 58,000 crore. The Rafale fighter is a twin-engine Medium Multi Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) manufactured by French aerospace company Dassault Aviation.

Harish joining Cong will have no impact on Raj polls: BJP MP

Rajasthan BJP leader Kirori Lal Meena said Wednesday MP Harish Chandra Meena’s joining the Congress will have no impact on tribal votes in Dausa and its nearby regions in the state polls next month.

Elections to the 200-member Rajasthan Assembly will be held on December 7. Harish Meena, BJP’s Dausa MP, joined the Congress in Delhi in the presence of former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot, Rajasthan Congress chief Sachin Pilot and AICC’s state in-charge Avinash Pande on Wednesday. “There will be no impact. People know who is an opportunist and an opportunist can

go anywhere,” Kirori Lal Meena, a Rajya Sabha MP, said. Harish Meena, a former IPS officer and ex-Rajasthan DGP, had joined the BJP ahead of the 2014 Lok Sabha polls. Congress leader and Sapotara MLA Ramesh Meena, said though his party had given a lot to the family of Namonarain Meena, his brother Harish Meena joined the BJP in 2014. Harish Meena has returned home, said the deputy leader of opposition in the state assembly.

“Namonarain Meena has been a minister and several other members of his family have got so much from the Congress party. “Now, his brother and Dausa MP has quit the BJP and joined

the Congress. He has returned home,” Ramesh Meena said. He claimed that a few more BJP rebel leaders would join the Congress. Harish Meena, who was DGP during Gehlot’s tenure as chief minister, and was pitted by the BJP against his brother and senior Congress leader Namonarain Meena in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections from the Dausa constituency. He had won the seat by defeating his nearest rival Kirori Lal Meena, who was then a candidate of the National People’s Party, by a margin of 45,404 votes.

His brother Namonarain Meena, then a Union minister, had stood third in the result.

Political concoction

t is not about 2019 elections that the BJP has upped the ante with pursuing its core agenda of transforming India beyond the restrictions and limitations imposed by a secular constitution; the entire focus of the Narendra Modi-led BJP, is to play the democrat for advantage in the electoral game. Whatever has happened when extreme right wing ideology evolved into talibanism that acted to criminalisation of beef eating and transporting, lynching and ghar wapsi etc may not be as pronounced as they were during the past three years since 2014. However the talibanist enforcers are not bothered nor adhere to true Hindu tenets of peace and tolerance because the thugs have found some “employment” and legitimacy for their criminal acts. Among the innocuous yet dangerous pursuit is name changing obsession that has burst open with BJP bringing out justifications and also bizarre explanations on why muslim names of places need to be changed. The name changing comes after game changing proved futile when demonetisation slowed the economy, GST added more confusion, Rs.15 lakh wasn’t deposited in every Indian citizen’s accounts, institutions tamed and controlled by political appointees and only 70 lakh jobs created instead of the 2 crore promised. To pursue the de-islamisation of names of places, the BJP is using Uttar Pradesh as historical ground zero for its politics of Hindutva nationalism and anti-Muslim agitation. Places with muslim names are to be changed without delay and UP tops the list and with BJP-ruled states also taking the cue. If this is not one among the party’s national agenda, then at least the prime minister would have asked his over enthusiastic members to exert some restraint and instead, focus on development and governance. Of course, these two are mantras used as electoral bait as much as the promises made during 2014 election campaigns which have not been fulfilled. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath renamed Faizabad as Ayodhya, Allahabad to Prayagraj, Mughalsarai Railway station, another historic spot, to Deen Dayal Upadhyaya junction, Agra airport again after Jan Sangh founder Deen Dayal Upadhyay. The ruling BJP has justified the name changes across Uttar Pradesh saying they are merely restoring older names and correcting historical distortions.

BJP lawmaker Jagan Prasad Garg has demanded that Agra be renamed as “Agravan” or “Agrawal”.BJP lawmaker from Sardhana, Sangeet Som, who wants the name of Muzaffarnagar to be changed to Laxmi Nagar. The attempt to obliterate names from history is fuelled by politics of hate and polarisation. Even in Rajasthan which is going to the polls, the Vasundhara Raje government has approved renaming villages with Muslim-sounding names with names rooted in Hindi.The renaming of four villages in communally sensitive Chittorgarh - Mohammadpur as Medikh Kheda, Nawabpur as Nai Sarthal, Rampura-Ajampur as Sitaramji Kheda and Mandfiya as Sanwaliyaji -has been approved. Sources in the revenue department said more names will be changed in the coming weeks. The renaming of villages four months before the state polls in November-December is seen as a move by BJP to appease its vote bank. Some functionaries of Sangh Parivar(all three –RSS/BJP,VHP) have been open about the agenda to make India a Hindu Rashtra by 2021. The agenda is not new but recently RSS/BJP have used a new mantra -‘development’ - which is old wine in new bottle but lack of alternative and a divided opposition have only given unexpected advantage to Modi.

DailyDevotion Discovering Divine Design As for me, being on the way, the Lord led me…

—Genesis 24:27 We should be so one with God that we don’t need to ask continually for guidance. Sanctification means that we are made the children of God. A child’s life is normally obedient, until he chooses disobedience. But as soon as he chooses to disobey, an inherent inner conflict is produced. On the spiritual level, inner conflict is the warning of the Spirit of God. When He warns us in this way, we must stop at once and be renewed in the spirit of our mind to discern God’s will (see Romans 12:2). If we are born again by the Spirit of God, our devotion to Him is hindered, or even stopped, by continually asking Him to guide us here and there. “…the Lord led me…” and on looking back we see the presence of an amazing design. If we are born of God we will see His guiding hand and give Him the credit.

We can all see God in exceptional things, but it requires the growth of spiritual discipline to see God in every detail. Never believe that the so-called random events of life are anything less than God’s appointed order. Be ready to discover His divine designs anywhere and everywhere.

Beware of being obsessed with consistency to your own convictions instead of being devoted to God. If you are a saint and say, “I will never do this or that,” in all probability this will be exactly what God will require of you. There was never a more inconsistent being on this earth than our Lord, but He was never inconsistent with His Father. The important consistency in a saint is not to a principle but to the divine life. It is the divine life that continually makes more and more discoveries about the divine mind. It is easier to be an excessive fanatic than it is to be consistently faithful, because God causes an amazing humbling of our religious conceit when we are faithful to Him.

Post-mortem

Looking at 2019 and beyond

G

iven the current economic scenario of India, it would be prudent to have our eyes on the pressing issues that need the attention of the government over the next six years. Policy changes, new policies and an environment that facilitates investment will be vital.

The recent renewable energy auctions, which failed to attract significant bids, bring to the fore the crucial question around price caps. While providing lowcost electricity is essential, so is a sustainable power sector. The issue that merits more debate is whether a free-pricing market with a regulator that ensures no cartels are formed is a better solution in the long run than price caps.

This argument applies not only to renewable energy, but all sectors. Investors in any sector face variable dynamics across a variety of factors ranging from input prices, credit costs, research and development costs and foreign exchange risk. “Pricing” of a product or a service needs to consider all that goes into making or producing the product.

To give an example, drug pricing for a patented drug involves significant research and development costs. Therefore, the price of a drug needs to factor in a fair amount of analysis to determine the price over and above raw materials.

Similarly, for other sectors, it is vital that the rapid pace of growth and expansion can continue so that risk-taking businesses can get rewarded adequately. Extreme measures to control prices can lead to sector problems, thereby discouraging

investments and research. Therefore, over the next few years, it is essential to strike a balance between low-cost products and services, and sustainable industry dynamics.

In the financial markets, India needs to further embrace mark-to-market valuations in the corners of the market that still utilise hold-to-maturity accounting. Banks hold certain financial instruments as hold-to-maturity from a regulatory perspective.

Besides these instruments, the quicker the rest of the fixed income product universe moves towards mark-to-market regulations the more robust a capital market India will have.

While increased mark-tomarket regulations might lead to an initial slowdown in the bond markets, the long-term benefits of a transparent credit pricing market far outweigh any short-term costs. The most significant advantage of stringent mark-to-market regulations will be the ability of market prices to be a better indicator credit risk of products, thereby encouraging effective risk management by investors and financial institutions alike.

Divestment of government assets to create new infrastructure will be crucial. The recent decision to approve the divestment of the government’s stake in the Dredging Corporation of India and the in-principle approval of the PPP model for six airports is a step in the right direction.

However, to deliver valuable infrastructure, the government must ensure that non-tax revenue is used to develop infrastructure in the specific sectors where the divestment occurs, or the PPP

happens. Enabling infrastructure creation that is industry-specific regarding both the divestment or partnership and in creating new assets will add significant value.

The agriculture sector will require focus with renewed vigour over and above minimum support prices and farm loan waivers. The sector is vital not just to improve the lot of farmers (who are at the riskiest end of the farm-to-fork model) but also to create avenues to feed a sizeable consuming population.

The farm-to-fork model is much spoken about and needs a stepwise approach to succeed in the long-run.

A good start would be to choose sub-sectors within agriculture that are amenable to a farm-to-fork model so as to create a “model template”. A farmto-fork model would involve procuring the original product, processing, storage and transportation, and merchandising the product. Choosing the lowhanging fruit to create templates will help expedite the process.

More importantly, user-cases will help spot the gaps within the agricultural supply chain.

Government policies that create an effective pricing environment and avenues for revenue generation to enable investment and infrastructure will be crucial going forward. More importantly, long-term sustainable growth will require a balanced approach to help promote a broad spectrum of sectors such as energy, finance and agriculture.

India’s higher education system needs drastic changes

A

s the world stands on the brink of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, powered by a wide range of new technology breakthroughs such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), advanced robotics, Internet of Things IoT), Cloud computing and 3D printing, major changes are expected in the labour market globally.

There will be reduced demand for middle-skilled workers doing repetitive tasks and increased demand for more highly-skilled workers -- and also lowskilled workers doing non-routine work.

While many developed countries, such as the US and Japan, as also several European economies, are already experiencing this polarisation, the labour market is also hollowing out in many developing countries, although at a rate slower than the developed world.

In the case of India, this polarisation can be seen in the organised manufacturing sector, where the share of high-skilled occupations in total manufacturing employment increased by more than three percentage points, while the share of middle-skilled jobs decreased by 6.3 percentage points from 1993-94 to 2011-12. Looking at the impact of technological progress on various manufacturing industries, the capital-intensive industries, such as automobile manufacturers, have a greater probability of adopting advanced automation and robotic technologies, compared to labour-intensive manufacturing industries such as textile, apparel, leather and footwear, and paper manufacturers.

Further, in the services sector, particularly in the IT sector, e-commerce, banking and financial services and health care services, there is a huge potential for automation technologies, which would increase the demand for skilled workers and reduce the demand for middle-skilled workers.

However, in India, over 80 per cent of the working population is engaged in low-skilled jobs in the unorganised sector. These low-skilled workers aspire to join the middle-skilled workforce in the organised sector to raise themselves from poverty. However, the changing nature of work due to technology advancements in the organised sector prevents their upward labour mobility and any improvement in their incomes.

Addressing these challenges requires reforms in India’s higher education system. The institutes of higher learning should shun dated teaching methodologies and redesign the course curriculum by understanding key market transitions amidst the technological advancements. This would enable the country to create a workforce which could be placed in the positions demanded by the companies in the digital era and thus bridge the skill gap in the labour market.

However, looking at the current state of higher education in India, one can see that it is not just the quality of

the system which needs to be improved.

There is also much to be done in terms of the number of students enrolled in the institutes of higher learning.

The Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER) in tertiary education in India is 26.9 per cent, which is lower than that of China (48.4 per cent), Indonesia (27.9 per cent) and the Philippines (35.3 per cent), among others.

Further, India’s GER for the male population is 26.3 per cent and 25.4 per cent for females. The GER also varies across different social groups -- 21.8 per cent for the Scheduled Castes and 15.9 per cent for the Scheduled Tribes.

There are also wide variations in the number of colleges for higher education across different states in India, with the lowest number of seven colleges in Bihar for every 0.1 million of eligible population to 51 in Telangana and Karnataka. The top eight states in terms of highest number of colleges are Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh, which have 28 or more colleges per 0.1 million of the population. The disparity in the distribution of the colleges is also seen across different districts in these states, with the top 50 districts having about 32.6 per cent of the colleges.

In addition to the inequalities existing in the access to institutions for higher education, another issue is that a majority of the students are enrolled in undergraduate level programmes, compared to the Masters and the Doctoral programmes. Moreover, at the undergraduate level, there is a low passout rate -- out of 2,90,16,350 students enrolled at undergraduate level, only 6,419,639 passed-out in 2017.

It is imperative for the country to address these issues given that the Indian system of higher education faces multiple challenges of low gross enrollment in its colleges and universities, with predominance of students settling on undergraduate studies, along with various socio-economic inequalities existing in access to higher learning.

Further, emphasis must be placed on increasing the number of students who pass out of the colleges/universities, along with increasing enrollment numbers.

The technology-induced skill gap which the Indian economy is facing across different sectors is bound to widen with the current higher education system. Change has to be brought from outside the existing constructs.

Improvement in the teaching methodology from the traditional lecture courses, accreditation of online courses, along with redesigning the course curriculum to be more industry relevant are some of the ways the technology-led changes in the labour market can be dealt with.

The paradox of Half- Nagarjan Bridge

T

here is a famous saying ‘Everybody’s responsibility is nobody’s responsibility’. On the 17 of July 2018 I had written an article on the topic ‘When will Half Nagarjan Bridge finish? In which I requested the authority to speed up the construction of the new bridge for the benefit of the people and in order to reduce traffic jam in the town. However, this construction of the new bridge has turned from bad to worse. Personally, I appreciate the initiative of the state government and the PWD department for constructing new bridge, since the bridge was in danger.

On the other hand, I do not appreciate the slowness in constructing this new bridge. Therefore, as concerned citizen of Dimapur, it is our right to inquire the reality of why the construction of new bridge takes such a long time. In fact, the bridge was in danger for the last two years and since then the construction of new bridge began, however it appears as just a work of half a year. It is very sad that in spite of the crack on the road at the beginning of the bridge that happened in the last few months yet the construction of the new bridge has no different, there is no sign of speeding up the building of new bridge.In fact, there are times when we see not even a single worker in it. Thus, it sounds like a paradox to many of us who daily passing through that particular bridge.

It is very shameful to see that when the bridge is in great danger but several times, not even a single worker is seen in building up the new bridge. Let us not forget that the Dimapur traffic police had twice blocked that bridge due to the danger that it might cause to the people. Nevertheless, the bridge is so important that is has caused lots of problems to the people and for no option they have to allow the light vehicles to continue plyingon that bridge with few traffic police men employ for the smooth running of vehicles in the bridge. Personally, am not interested in politic nor belong to any party, but

for the interest of the people and for the benefit of the people I just want to remind the state government to take up this matter of constructing the new bridge seriously. We want to see change as you have promised during the last state election.It is shameful to the state government and to the PWD department for twice blocking the bridge due to its danger, while not fulfilling the duty in building up the new bridge as fast as possible. The bridge is at risk to many vehicles and people who use that particular bridge.

In my opinion, the bridge itself has given us several warnings to faster the construction of the new bridge, yet sad to say that it is like a paradox because for when the bridge is in serious danger, hardly any worker sometime is seen in the bridge. Therefore, it is high time to complete the new bridge and I strongly urge the state government to faster the construction of this new bridge, let us not wait for the bridge to collapse completely and destroy the innocent lives. We must not forget that many students use this bridge to go to school. I remember that when the bridge was blocked for twice, students from Greenwood School, Salesian College, Bosco Bed College, and students from other institutions suffered a lot.

They have to go through a long way in order to reach the school and college.

Hence, the slowness in building up the new bridge is also depriving the rights of the students. Just because of the complete block of the bridge in those days several students did not go to school and sometime coming late to class. When asked about the reason, why they are late for class, they confidently said, because of the bridge. As a result, before it is too late I urge the concerned authority to look into the matter seriously for the benefit of the students, the people and the society at large.

Why are central bankers obsessed with inflation?

T

he battle between the Indian government and its central bank is neither new nor unique.

Though the ongoing spat between the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the government can boast of multiple drivers, the most recent, and by all appearances a perennial bone of contention, is the former’s adoption of Flexible Inflation Targeting (or FIT) as its monetary policy framework.

What is FIT? Through an agreement signed between the RBI and the government as at February 20, 2015, RBI decided to adopt a “modern monetary policy framework” with the objective to “primarily maintain price stability, while keeping in mind the objective of growth”.

Thus, price stability became an overarching objective of monetary policy, moving other factors to the background.

The said price stability is to be achieved by keeping track of, forecasting, and controlling inflation, meaning that if the percentage change in monthly Consumer Price Index or CPI (headline) year-on-year was outside or expected to be outside a specific range of numbers (the “Target”) for a certain duration, it gives RBI a justification to decrease or increase short-term interest rates.

No other consideration is to have an equivalent weight.

Inflation must be granted precedence.

The agreed upon target range at present stands at four per cent with a band of () two per cent for three consecutive quarters.

So, what is the problem?

The proponents of FIT argue that it gives a clear goal for policy setting and, over time, helps in establishing the credibility of the central bank while managing and anchoring price and policy expectations of the public. A quantifiable target reduces the chances of monetary policy being steered for political purposes.

Both high inflation and low inflation hurts. While the former eats through real rates of return, i.e. the borrowed interest rate minus inflation; the latter is an indicator of either oversupply or low demand. Hence it makes a lot of sense to keep it on a leash.

However, the outcome of using monetary policy to control inflation often depends on how the said price instability has originated in the first place.

When inflation is demand-

driven, i.e. the demand gets too hot for sustainable supply, the FIT approach works well as hawkish monetary policy then becomes a lever to control consumption spend.

However, when inflation is supply-driven, i.e. the supply is artificially low (either due to low productivity, lack of investment, hoarding, supply shocks caused by inadequate monsoons, oil price hikes, etc.) but the demand is “business as usual”, FIT would be less effective as it would lower investment appetite, thereby risking supply being pushed further down.

Warwick J. McKibbin, a Senior Fellow at Brookings, a think tank says: “Falling productivity would cause both a rise in input costs and a fall in output.

An inflation targeting central bank would tighten monetary policy as input costs rose but in doing so would reduce real GDP in the economy. Thus, monetary policy would lead to a worse outcome for the real economy than caused by the shock alone.”

Most governments, especially in emerging markets where supply shocks are common, are hence apprehensive of FIT. Plus, there is a natural tendency to blame lack of growth on tighter monetary policy, taking attention away from larger structural issues where fiscal intervention is needed.

Businesses also tend to oppose FIT, linking higher rates to a lower investment appetite which may be a disingenuous claim.

Raghuram Rajan, ex-RBI Governor who pushed for FIT, in his book “I do What I do” elaborates: “I have yet to meet an industrialist who does not want lower rates, whatever the level of rates. But will a lower policy interest rate today give him more incentive to invest?”

Answering his rhetoric himself, he claims: “Even if [RBI cuts] policy rates, we don’t believe banks, who are paying higher deposit rates, will cut their lending rates. The reason is that the depositor, given her high inflationary expectations, will not settle for less than the rates banks are paying her. Inflation is placing a floor on deposit rates, and thus on lending rates.”

What, you may wonder, is the solution? A popular alternative suggested by many has been to track the growth in Nominal GDP (NGDP targeting), instead of inflation. NGDP growth is basically the sum of inflation and real GDP growth.

The idea here is that in supply shock-driven inflation, though the inflation component of NGDP would go up, the real GDP component would go down. Whilst a FIT regime would drive up rates to control inflation but be at the risk of pushing real GDP down further, the NGDP target would be a more holistic measure in that situation, warranting a less dramatic response.

Optically it literally combines the objective of price stability and growth. It would, however, widen the mandate and accountability of the central bank, as per a view shared by The Economist, while it was pushing for a NGDP target framework for the US Federal Reserve (Fed).

“A Central bank with an explicit NGDP level target would have faced (appropriately) intense pressure to do much more much sooner than one with the Fed’s present, vague focus on an inflation target as a means to broader macro-economic stability,” The Economist said.

It is only a strong banking system that will be able to improve credit in those sectors which really need credit, the finance minister had said, adding, “The MSME sector needs credit, several other players in the market need credit. NBFCs today need credit because a large part of lending is done by them.” There are reports of growing tensions between the RBI and the government, with the finance ministry initiating discussion under the neverused-before Section-7 of the RBI Act which empowers the government to issue directions to the RBI governor.

Besides, the central bank is expected to consider special dispensation for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) sector and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) which have been facing liquidity issues. The government feels that the MSME sector which employs about 12 crore people plays a critical role in the economy, and the sector hit by demonetisation and implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST) needs support.

However, the central bank has been averse to government demand for special dispensations for MSME and NBFC sectors as it consider them vulnerable.

The PCA framework kicks in when banks breach any of the three key regulatory trigger points namely capital to risk weighted assets ratio, Net non-performing assets (NPA) and return on assets (RoA).

“We agreed that in a new relationship we are building with the US where trade is expanding, we need to find ways in which we can help that process to take place,” Gokhale said.

Student bodies must not act as...

New Delhi, Nov 14 (PTI): The annual India International Trade Fair (IITF) began Wednesday albeit on a smaller scale, with less than one-fourth space compared to previous editions as Pragati Maidan undergoes makeover.

Visitors to the 14-day long fair may face inconvenience this year due to unavailability of adequate shuttles, while exhibitors face the issue of lesser availability of space, with construction on in full swing to build a state-ofthe-art Integrated Exhibition-cum-Convention Center by September-end 2019.

“Balancing the ongoing redevelopment and holding the fair is not an easy task. The fact that for the last 12 days there was a complete ban on construction which we followed and the incoming trucks to Delhi were held up at the border did complicate things further.

It was not an easy decision to continue with this fair in the given circumstances,” ITPO ED Deepak Kumar said addressing the fair’s inauguration event here.

“We know that there are many shortcomings and inconvenience but we assure you all that next year you will have a world class venue,” Kumar added.

The Minister said IITF is India’s flagship event where participants from across the globe take part.

Jharkhand. The theme of the international fair, with about 800 participants, is “rural enterprises” and was inaugurated by Minister of State for Commerce and Industry C.R. Chaudhary along with Union Culture Minister Mahesh Sharma.

While Sharma said the country is fortunate to have an enterprising Prime Minister, Chaudhary said foreign investment worth more than $60 billion comes to India each year under the Make in India scheme launched by the PM and that India is set to become a manufacturing hub.

Jharkhand’s Khadi Gram Udyog Board Chairman Sanjay Seth said the tribal state, which will turn 18 years old on November 15, has been growing at over 10 per cent under the current leadership of Raghubar Das with major progress in basic infrastructure like roads.

India Trade Promotion Organisation officials said while the current fair is orgainsed in only 22 per cent of the total space due to construction activities, the next IITF will be the biggest ever as a world class international exhibition cum convention centre will be ready by then.

New Delhi, Nov 14 (IANS): Union Minister for Commerce and Industry Suresh Prabhu on Wednesday said Indian economy will quadruple to $10 trillion by 2035 riding on businessfriendly policies, structural reforms and transparency in governance.

“India is growing at a fast rate and will be a $5 trillion economy in another 7-8 years. By 2035, it will be a $10 trillion economy and we are preparing for that in an aggressive way,” he said in a recorded message at the inauguration of India International Trade Fair (IITF).

Prabhu said that no country can grow unless companies grow and their growth is dependent on interactions with rest of the world and the businessfriendly policies of the government that saw India climb from 142 to 77 rank on Ease of Doing Business in last four years.

“India is constantly improving and we want to take it beyond 50 and later even higher. India’s ranking globally is increasing due to domestic policies. We are making structural reforms, we are bringing in transparency. We deal with complete transparency in public pro-

(From p-1) “And when NPGs issue threats and demand notes, how can we do business with a peaceful mind,” BAN asked, even as it appealed once again to NPG brothers to exempt businesses run by Nagas from any kind of demands.

Asserting that it strongly stood by the October 31 public rally resolutions adopted by PAC under the aegis of NCD, BAN said it was committed to protect the rights of Naga business community.

As Naga entrepreneurs and business houses were creating job opportunities when the State government is not able to provide jobs for Naga youth, BAN said it was the government’s responsibility to provide a conducive atmosphere for Naga business community.

BAN also appreciated Dimapur Police for apprehending the culprits. And keeping in mind the festive season, BAN urged the police to remain vigilant and responsive.

“According to the voice, I recognise that the government has no majority,” Jayasuriya announced in the House as Rajapaksa supporters protested.

He gave the ruling after the no-confidence motion was taken for a vote.

The Speaker calculated the votes based on the voices he heard.

The passing of the noconfidence motion comes as a major blow to president Sirisena and a victory to ousted prime minister Wickremesinghe.

The resolution was moved by left wing Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna party leader Anura Kumara Dissanayaka and law maker Vijitha Herath.

The Tamil National Alliance and smaller Muslim parties all supported the no-confidence motion.

Three newly sworn Cabinet ministers and a state minister also crossed over to the Opposition benches in support.

According to BBC, the prime minister was speaking before a crunch cabinet meeting where she is seeking her senior ministers’ backing for the UK and EU’s draft agreement.

She told the Commons it would give the UK control of borders, laws and money - and also protect business and jobs.

But Jeremy Corbyn said the UK would be stuck in an “indefinite half-way house without any real say” over the rules.

Speaking at Prime Minister’s Questions, the Labour leader said Mrs May was putting a “false choice” before Parliament between her “botched deal and no deal”.

the threat of any resignations by telling her cabinet ministers that while not perfect, the agreement was as good as it can get.

Downing Street, he added, were pointing to what they view as significant wins, including no separate customs border for Northern Ireland and an arbitration mechanism to ensure the UK can exit the proposed “backstop” customs plan.

Ministers - including Brexiteers like Liz Truss, Esther McVey and Penny Mordaunt - have been filing into Downing Street to get their first look at the agreement in a special reading room, amid speculation about further resignations.

The draft withdrawal agreement addresses the Northern Ireland “backstop”, which aims to guarantee that physical checks will not be reintroduced at the border with the Irish Republic, in the event of the EU and UK failing to agree a deal on future trading relations that involves not having a physical border.

Israeli defence minister quits over Gaza

Jerusalem, Nov 14 (IANS): Israeli Defence Minister Avigdor Liberman announced his resignation on Wednesday, citing disagreement with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over accepting a ceasefire with Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups in the Gaza Strip, after two days of intense airstrikes and rocket fire.

In a televised news conference, Liberman said that agreeing to a ceasefire was “surrendering to terror”, adding that his nationalist Yisrael Beiteinu party would withdraw from Netanyahu’s governing coalition, citing irreconcilable differences.

He has been a proponent of firm military action against Hamas, the Islamist militant group which controls the Gaza Strip, even if it risked a wider conflict.

Eight people were killed on Monday and Tuesday as militants fired 460 rockets towards Israel and Israeli forces bombed 160 targets in Gaza. Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups announced on Tuesday that they had accepted an Egyptian-mediated ceasefire and

Avigdor Liberman

would abide by it if Israel did too.

“There is no other definition, no other significance, but a surrender to terror,” Liberman was cited as saying by the BBC. “What we are doing now as a country is buying short-term quiet at the cost of our long-term security.” The continuity of Netanyahu’s government remained possible even without Yisrael Beiteinu, as the coalition would still have a thin 61-seat majority in the 120-seat Israeli Parliament.

Lieberman said that his decision was based on two fundamental disagreements with Netanyahu: The first was the Premier’s decision last week to allow Qatar to bring $15 million into Gaza to pay civil servants’ salaries and second was the Israeli

government’s acceptance of the ceasefire.

The Gaza Strip remained calm on Wednesday as the truce appeared to be holding. However, Israel’s military said it had shot at and captured a Palestinian man who tried to breach the Israel-Gaza border fence while hurling grenades.

Dozens of residents of Israeli border communities, meanwhile, blocked roads in protest at what they called the “lack of action by the Israeli government” to deal with the threat of Palestinian rocket attacks.

Netanyahu defended the ceasefire decision, saying that “in times of emergency, when making decisions crucial to security, the public can’t always be privy to the considerations that must be hidden from the enemy”.

In Gaza, people celebrated the ceasefire, which Hamas portrayed as a victory. The latest violence began after an Israeli special forces undercover operation in Gaza was exposed on Sunday, triggering clashes that left seven Palestinian militants and one Israeli soldier dead.

Colombo, Nov 14 (PTI): Sri Lanka’s Parliament on Wednesday passed a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa who was installed by President Maithripala Sirisena in a controversial move, a day after the Supreme Court overturned the presidential decree to dissolve the House and hold snap polls on January 5.

Amid raucous scenes, Parliament on Wednesday met for the first time since October 26, when President Sirisena sacked Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, installed Rajapaksa in his place and suspended the House, plunging the island nation into an unprecedented constitutional crisis.

Speaker Karu Jayasuriya announced that a majority of the 225-member Parliament supported the no-confidence motion against Rajapaksa, the 72year-old former strongman, who ruled the country for a decade from 2005.

a minimum of 113 lawmakers in the House to prove his majority.

Supporters of Rajapaksa refused to recognise the vote as legitimate, plunging the country deeper into crisis, as fears grow that the political dispute could spill into protracted instability in the island nation.

Jayasuriya later adjourned the House until 10 am on Thursday.

Speaker Jayasuriya has written to President Sirisena, asking him to take further constitutional action.

A copy of the motion with 122 signatures of lawmakers, who have expressed lack of confidence in Prime Minister Rajapaksa and his Cabinet, has been sent to Sirisena.

The Speaker’s office said that the Speaker has requested the President to take the next step under the Constitution.

Speaking after the notrust vote, ousted prime minister Wickremsinghe claimed that his government had been restored after extra constitutional action by President Sirisena to sack him as the premier.

Wickremesinghe has denounced Sirisena’s attempt to remove him from office and refused to leave the official prime minister’s residence, claiming the president does not have the power to take such action.

Senior leader of Wickremesinghe’s United National Party (UNP) Sajith Premadasa said that the Government headed by Rajapaksa clearly lost the floor test.

Cooper approached Jack White 4th edition of North-East Youth Fest Chandigarh concludes Bradley about playing the lead in ‘A Star Is Born’ T B he 4th edition of North East Youth Fest (NEYF), Chandigarh was concluded on November 10 in a colourful late evening function at Chandigargh.

A press release from organizing committee member NEYF 2018, Chollen Chang stated that chief guest, Niharika Batt, and guest of honour OSD to Union Minister for Health, Dr. Virendr Garg, congratulated the organizers and the participants for conceptualizing and executing the very innovative Fest which centred around the theme “North East Youth Towards Nation Building”. Niharika

Batt called upon the youth present to channelize the immense qualities and energies of northeast youth for positive activities while Virendar Garg offered full assistance for northeast youth in cases of medical emergencies and treatments.

The two-days’ educational and socio-cultural extravaganza had a mam-

moth gathering of about 1500 North East youth from the eight north eastern states and over a dozen motivational speakers taking sessions on themes such as peace, nation building, personal responsibility, addictive habits, life in the metros, social media responsibility and a group discussion on “What makes northeast

youth land in trouble”?

The young participants on their turn presented dances and songs and a cultural costume show, all depicting the rich cultural heritage of the region. One representative youth from every state showcased the respective state in a brief slide show enabling the gathering to know more about northeast

and its people.

The event was an initiative of Don Bosco Youth Centre, Itanagar and Don Bosco Navjeevan Society, Chandigarh which is organized annually with three core concepts in focus that the fest be educative, entertaining and morally good.

It was also to showcase and promote northeast youth and their talents and to bring them to the national mainstream in participating in building up of a peaceful and progressive India. A new organizing committee under the leadership of Caryn from Mizoram was formed for NEYF 2019 and tentative dates were proposed.

radley Cooper reportedly approached Jack White about the prospect of playing the male lead in A Star Is Born, before it was eventually decided that he would take the role himself.

The Oscar tipped drama was released in October and saw Cooper win huge plaudits for his turn as Jackson Maine, a washed up rocker who falls in love with talented waitress Ally (Lady Gaga) as their careers head in entirely different trajectories. But despite tackling the role, Cooper says that he originally envisaged the character for someone else entirely. “I saw this other per-

son that I wanted to do this, who is an actual musician,” he told Variety. “But [the studio] wouldn’t make the movie with him.” Although Cooper did not mention the name of the person that he approached, an independent source told Variety that he spoke to the White Stripes

icon before studio bosses vetoed the idea. White himself is no stranger to the big screen, having previously appeared in a multitude of cameos throughout his career – including a notable turn as Elvis Presley in musical parody Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.

Women’s World Boxing c’ship opens Mary Kom eyes historic sixth gold

New Delhi, Nov 14 (Agencies/PTI): The 10th AIBA Women’s World Boxing Championship 2018 opened at the Indira Gandhi Stadium here in New Delhi in a glittering opening ceremony, which saw the newly elected AIBA President Gafur Rahimov, IOA Pesident Narinder Batra, BFI President Ajay Singh in presence amongst host of representatives and athletes from around the globe.

According to Sports Flashes, the mascot of the Championships “Sherni”

was also unveiled which brings the tiger like image of women power to the fore.

The event also saw performances of various artists from around the country displaying India’s rich culture and heritage.

The BFI President, Ajay Singh, in his address asserted on the role of women in Indian culture where it is sometimes worshipped as Kali, Durga, Lakshmi and the fact that India has a feminine identification with Bharat Mata.

The IOA President Na-

rinder Dhruv Batra was also impressed with the magnitude of the tournament and the opening ceremony which showcased India’s prowess and will augur well for India in holding world events. He also voiced his expectation of at least 2 medals from the Indian boxing contingent in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Earlier in the day, official draw of the 277 boxers participating in the Championships was also revealed.

PTI adds: Celebrated boxer M C Mary Kom

will aim for a historic sixth gold at the AIBA Women’ World Championships, the build up of which has been marred by a row over lone Kosovan boxer’s participation and poor quality air in the national capital.

The championship, set to be the biggest ever with more than 300 participants from 72 countries, is being held in the backdrop of boxing’s uncertain Olympic future in the aftermath of controversial Uzbek businessman Gafur Rakhimov’s election as President.

India is hosting the championships for the second time after 2006 when the country topped the table with eight medals (4 gold, 1 silver, 3 bronze).

The 10-member Indian team, which is a mix of seasoned and young boxers, is unlikely to repeat the 2006 feat but is expecting at least three medals, including a gold. The ‘Magnificent Mary’, who will fight in the 48 kg, will also look to win her second gold in front of the home crowd. Another veteran who will be seeking her second gold at the championships will be Mary Kom’s Manipur statemate L Sarita Devi who will feature in 60kg.

The other eight in the team are Pinky Jangra (51 Kg), Manisha Maun (54 Kg), Sonia (57 Kg), Simranjit Kaur (64 Kg), Lovlina Borgohain (69 Kg), Saweety Boora (75 Kg), Bhagyabati

Kachari (81 Kg) and Seema Poonia (+81 Kg). The 10day championships, which run till November 24, will feature a host of Olympic and World Championship medallists. The build-up to the tournament was, however, marred by the controversy of Kosovo boxer Donjeta Sadiku’s participation in the global event.

India does not recognise Kosovo -- a disputed territory in South Eastern Europe -- and the government is yet to grant visas to the boxer and her two coaches.

The Indian Olympic Association fears that the country may lose out on hosting major international sporting events in future, if the lone boxer from Kosovo will not be allowed to compete at the championships.

The International Olympic Committee had recently sent letters to international federations not to award major events to Spain after athletes from Kosovo were not allowed to participate under their own flag at the Karate World Championships there.

Delhi’s deteriorating air pollution was also a topic of discussion in the run-up to the tournament though it was a mixed bag for the boxers. Some participants expressed concern at the poor quality air while others felt it will not impact much as boxing was basically an indoor sport.

PV Sindhu fought hard for a 21-15, 13-21, 21-17 victory over Thailand’s Nitchaon Jindapol and advanced to the second

round of the tournament on Wednesday.

Sindhu just a minute over an hour to get past Jindapol in a match that consistent of three wellfought games.

Sindhu began the match well with a solid 2115 win over Jindapol in the first game. However, she let go of her intensity in the second round and was outplayed 13-21 by Jindapol.

In the final game, it remained close till almost the

end before Sindhu regained her touch and took the game 21-17 and the match.

Anand wins Tata Steel blitz tournament

Ko l kata , N ov 1 4 (IANS): Indian chess legend Viswanathan Anand saved his best for the last to clinch the inaugural Tata Steel Chess India Blitz Tournament by getting past overnight leader Hikaru Nakamura in the playoff here on Wednesday.

The 48-year-old fivetime world champion, who was fourth after the first leg, secured six wins and three draws in the final nine

rounds to draw level with the world number three of blitz Nakamura.

In the two-round playoff which was faster than blitz in reduced time format of a three-minute game, Anand won with white pieces, before drawing with black to seal the issue 1.5-0.5.

In the blitz category, Anand had last won a bronze medal at the World Championship in December 2017 Riyadh, in the same

meet where he had won the rapid title.

Nakamura, meanwhile, had a forgettable outing on the final leg where he eked out four victories and four draws and suffered a defeat to Pentala Harikrishna in the 11th round.

Praising Anand, he said there is no reason why the legendary player should stop playing.

Anand had India’s youngest Grandmaster R

Praggnanandhaa to thank as the 13-year-old did a huge favour in the last round when he held JapaneseAmerican Nakamura in the final round.

Playing white against the 13-year-old, Nakamura was on the verge of winning but the wildcard entrant Praggnanandhaa probably displayed the best defensive game of his life to manage a miraculous draw that forced a playoff against Anand.

In the play-off, Anand was at his best winning the first in an Italian game.

Anand displayed superb chess after Nakamura took some risks initially, with a one up pawn.

They had a rook and p aw n e n d g a m e w h e r e Anand sealed the issue with a solid display.

Nakamura resorted to long term strategy in the second game after being down 0-1 thinking Anand would break down trying to defend.

But Anand did not falter and went in for an allout attack to put Nakamura on the backfoot.

L o nd o n, N ov 1 4 ( Ag e n c i e s / I A N S ) : World number one Novak Djokovic took a big step towards the semi-finals at the ATP Finals with a clinical victory over Alexander Zverev, BBC reported.

After a very physical and close first set, the Serb ran away with the second to win 6-4 6-1.

Djokovic, chasing a first ATP Finals title since 2015, will reach the last four if John Isner beats Marin Cilic later on Wednesday.

“I don’t think it was breathtaking tennis but a win is a win,” he said.

“I played well midway through the second set and started to swing through the ball.

“I had not served that well but he made a lot of unforced errors which helped me to win.”

Indeed, it was a double-fault from Zverev that handed Djokovic the first set and a total of 33 unforced errors that contributed to the 21-year-old’s

Federer routs Thiem to keep chances alive

Swiss great Roger Federer bounced back quickly from a disappointing loss at the ATP Finals, brushing aside Dominic Thiem 6-2, 6-3 here to keep his hopes alive at this elite, year-end event.

Two days after a sur-

prising 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 loss Sunday to Japan’s Kei Nishikori in his first match in Group Lleyton Hewitt, the third-ranked Federer on Tuesday came out on court at the O2 Arena eager to get back on track and quickly asserted his superiority, reports Efe. Thiem, the 2018 French Open runner-up, seemed overwhelmed by the occasion and by the opportunity to hand Federer a second loss that would have bounced him out of

this tournament at the round-robin phase for the first time since 2008.

The Austrian made far too many unforced errors (34 in total), including botched easy volleys close the net. He also rarely made any impression with his signature weapon - the one-handed backhand.

Federer snagged his first service break in the third game of the match and never looked back.

A big key for the Swiss was his play on serve, as he did not face a single break point during the one-hour, seven-minute match and won 86 percent of his first-serve points and 81 percent of his second-serve points.

Thiem, who also was broken in the seventh game of the first set and the first and last games of the second set, won a respectable 50 percent of his secondserve points but just 56 percent of his first-serve points.

Women’s World T20: Confident India eye semifinals berth

Georgetown (Guyana), Nov 14 (IANS): Having convincingly won their first two matches, a dominant India will look to stamp their authority and inch closer to a semifinal berth when they face a lowly Ireland in a Group B match of the ICC Women’s World Twenty20 here on Thursday.

India are on a roll in the ongoing World T20, having beaten an in-form New Zealand by 34 runs in their tournament opener before extending their dominance over arch-rivals Pakistan with a 7-wicket win in their second match.

It has been a combined team effort for the womenin-blue in the opening two matches so far. While skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and the young Jemimah Rodrigues batted out the White Ferns comprehensively in the first match, the second game witnessed a composed knock from veteran Mithali Raj that helped India outshine Pakistan.

Going in to Thursday’s match, India will be desperately hoping for their opening batswoman Smriti Mandhana to come up with a big score. After failing in the opener, Mandhana got to a decent start in the second tie, but eventually failed to capitalise on it.

While Harmanpreet and Mithali are expected to form the backbone of the Indian innings, the team management will be hoping to give enough match time to the likes of the other batswomen in Veda Krishnamurthy, stumper Taniya Bhatia and Dayalan Hemalatha before the tournament enters its business end.

Coming to India’s bowling in the opening two games, it has been the spinners -- Hemalatha and Poonam Yadav -- ruling the roost in both the games. The spin duo of Hemalatha and Poonam shared six and four wickets between them in the two matches.

Ireland, on the other hand, have lost both their

opening two matches. In the first match, they went down to Australia by nine wickets followed by a 38-run defeat against Pakistan in the second.

The batting department failed in both the matches as the batters could only manage to score 93 runs in the first match and 101 in the second match.

Squads: India: Harmanpreet Kaur (Captain), Smriti Mandhana, Mithali Raj, Jemimah Rodrigues, Veda Krishnamurthy, Deepti Sharma, Taniya Bhatia (WK), Poonam Yadav, Radha Yadav, Anuja Patil, Ekta Bisht, Dayalan Hemalatha, Mansi Joshi, Pooja Vastrakar, Arundhati Reddy.

Ireland: Laura Delany (Captain), Kim Garth, Cecelia Joyce, Isobel Joyce, Shauna Kavanagh, Amy Kenealy, Gaby Lewis, Lara Maritz, Ciara Metcalfe, Lucy OReilly, Celeste Raack, Eimear Richardson, Clare Shillington, Rebecca Stokell, Mary Waldron.
