leaders of the organisations speaking against the BJP-led governments at the state and the Centre for “imposing the bill on Assam”, despite prohibitory orders under Section 144 Cr P C imposed here since Thursday. They also criticized chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal for “remaining silent on the issue despite repeated protests against the bill”. On Guwahati Police Commissioner Pradip Chandra Saloi’s request to the demonstrators to withdraw their protest, the agitators demanded that he carry their message to the government for holding talks with
them on the Bill, within seven days. When Saloi assured them that he would convey their message to the government, the demonstrators cleared the road. KMSS chief Akhil Gogoi, however, said, “Our agitation programmes will continue against the Bill”. He also accused the state government of “working against the interest of the indigenous people of the state by imposing the bill threatening the identity, language, culture of the indigenous people and unity of Assam”. Speaking on the occasion, All Minority Students Union (AAMSU) president
Ajijur Rahman said, as per the Assam Accord of 1985, Hindus or Muslims from Bangladesh and Pakistan who came to the state after March 24, 1971 would have to leave. Large sections of people, organisations in the northeast and leading political party AGP, which is an ally of the ruling BJP, are opposed to the Bill. They claim that it will nullify the provisions of the Assam Accord which fixed March 24, 1971 as the cutoff date for deportation of illegal immigrants irrespective of religion. AJYCP general secretary Palash Changmai accused the the chief minister of functioning “under the orders of the RSS” and said Sonowal should “give up his Hitlerian rule as it is against the people of Assam.” All Tai Ahom Students’ Union (ATASU) president Litul Buragohain criticised the chief minister “for his silence on the bill.” “He does not deserve to be called a ‘Jatiya Nayak’ (people’s hero) anymore. He should be called Jatiya Khalnayak (villain of the people),” the ATASU president said.

Siaha/Aizawl (Mizoram), Nov 16 (PTI): Alleging that the Congress government had not done anything to bring about development in Mizoram, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh Friday said the BJP, if voted to power, would upgrade the road infrastructure in the state within six months. Addressing an election rally here, he said the condition of roads in the north eastern state has gone from bad to worse under the Congress rule. “The BJP, if elected to power, will build highways and mend roads in the state within six months. The pollbound state probably has the worst road infrastructure in the country even after a decade of Congress rule,” Singh said. The minister also asserted that the Centre would ensure passage of an amendment to the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution, providing more power to the autonomous district councils of Mizoram. “If the two BJP nominees in the Mara Autonomous District Council (MADC) are elected to power, the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre will be able to push for an

MADC, one of the three autonomous district councils within the state, has its headquarters in Siaha. Under the Sixth Schedule, the Constitution gives special provisions to the administration of tribal areas in the four north eastern states of Assam, Mizoram, Meghalaya and Tripura. Mizoram, the last Congress bastion in the northeast, will go to polls on November 28. The results will be announced on December 11. There are 40 assembly seats with an estimated 7.6 lakh registered voters in the state, where the Congress has been in power since 2008. Singh, who

Christians constitute around 87 per cent of the population of Mizoram, according to the 2011 Census. Mizoram is the only state in the northeast where the Congress is in power. “The BJP is against minorities and the Christians... The party has brought intolerance and hatred against Christians and other minorities,” Congress general secretary Luizinho Faleiro told reporters here. He asked why did the BJP choose to observe Good Governance Day on December 25, when it seeks to celebrate the next Christmas in Mizoram under its rule.

Cyclone Gaja kills 13, leaves trail of destruction in TN
C h e n na i , N ov 1 6 (IANS): A severe cyclonic storm Gaja battered the Tamil Nadu coast on Friday, leaving at least 13 people and several livestock dead and a trail of destruction in several districts. Authorities said the cyclone crossed the coast between Nagapattinam and Vedaranyam districts between 12.30 a.m. and 2.30 a.m. with wind speeds of about 110-120 kmph. So powerful were the gales that the roof-sheets of the Nagapattinam railway station were damaged. Thatched and tiled roofs of several houses were also damaged in the strong cyclonic winds. A ship was ground in Karaikal Port in Puducherry. Traffic on the highways were affected owing to fallen trees while communication links in Vedaranyam were also affected. Traffic out of hill station Kodaikanal was affected due to fallen trees. In some places like Pudukottai walls of houses collapsed due to rains. Apart from fallen 12,000 power poles in seven districts, 102 power sub-stations in districts like Nagapattinam, Thanjavur, Thiruvarur were affected. According to the state power utility, about 500 km of power supply lines were affected by Gaja. Officials said it would take at least two days to restore power supply in full in districts like Nagapattinam and Thiruvarur.
A view of a damaged house after cyclone Gaja hit Pudukkottai district of Tamil Nadu, Friday (PTI) Chief Minister K. Palaniswami said in Salem, some 350 km from the state capital, that 13 persons had lost their lives in the cyclone. He said a sum of Rs 10 lakh would be paid to each family of the dead. For those severely injured, a sum of Rs 100,000 would be paid and those who suffered minor injuries would get Rs 25,000. About 82,000 people living in low-lying areas have been sent to 471 relief centres, the Chief Minister said, adding the preventive measures helped keep the death toll low. Relief centres were set up in Cuddalore, Nagapattinam, Ramanathapuram, Thanjavur, Pudukottai and Thiruvarur on Thursday itself. According to officials,
28 livestocks were killed in cyclone. Owing to strong winds an Indigo Airlines Chennai-Trichy flight was not able to land in Trichy and was sent back. R.B. Udhyakumar, Minister for Revenue and Disaster Management, said all the trees felled by the cyclone were being removed. Piles of felled trees blocked traffic in parts of Nagapattinam and Vedaranyum. Several universities in Tamil Nadu have postponed their exams slated for Friday. Schools remained closed on Friday in Nagapattinam, Cuddalore, Thanjavur, Pudukottai, Thiruvarur and several other districts in Tamil Nadu and in Puducherry, including Karaikal.

NDA destroying key institutions, Delhi policeman commits suicide TMC to save country: Mamata New Delhi, Nov 16
Mamata Banerjee Kolkata, Nov 16 (PTI: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Friday slammed the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre for allegedly destroying key Indian institutions such as the CBI and the RBI. The Trinamool Congress (TMC) could play a vital role in saving the country from such destructions, the party supremo said. “They (the NDA government) are destroying institutions. They are trying to change the way the RBI
and the CBI function. The party that has made ‘building statues’ its poll agenda will itself become a statue after the coming Lok Sabha election,” she told a party meeting here. Banerjee, who gave a call for a mega rally at the Brigade Parade Ground here in January, said the saffron party is only interested in creating communal divisions by updating National Register of Citizens (NRC). “The TMC will not tolerate such exercises. The party will play a bigger role in the coming days to save the country from the BJP,” she asserted. The CM also said that she would invite all opposition leaders to the TMC rally in January and put up a united fight against the BJP. “ B J P h a t a o, d e s h bachao will be our slogan at the rally,” she stated.

DMK lauds TN govt for work to tackle cyclone
DMK President M K Stalin on Friday lauded the Tamil Nadu State Disaster Management Authority for its efforts to tackle the severe cyclonic storm ‘Gaja,’ that has crossed the state’s coast. The main opposition DMK appreciating a government body especially for its work during a natural disaster is rare. Stalin, who is the leader of the opposition said in a tweet, Tamil Nadu has been affected by a cyclone again and this time ‘Gaja.’ “The way the @tnsdma (Tamil Nadu State Disaster Management Authority) took preparatory efforts (to tackle the cyclone) is praiseworthy,” he said. Stalin said the “rulers,” an apparent reference to the ruling AIADMK should extend “cooperation,” to the State agency for its work in the wake of the cyclone making a landfall. He, however, said it is “necessary for the government machinery to act with the speed of a storm in taking up relief work.” The Dravidian major relentlessly targeted the ruling AIADMK over the 2015 Chennai floods and for not taking appropriate steps to prevent the deluge. Stalin also urged his party men to take up relief work and work alongside the government in carrying out relief operations.
New Delhi, Nov 16 (IANS): Facebook has recorded 16,580 data requests from the Indian government in the first six months of 2018 -- a steep rise compared to a total of 22,024 requests in the full year of 2017 and 13,613 in 2016. In the January-June 2018 period, Facebook provided some data to the government in 53 per cent of the requests, although the social networking giant did not reveal which kind of data as it published its transparency report late on Thursday. Facebook responds to government requests for data in accordance with applicable law and its terms of service. “Each and every request we receive is carefully reviewed for legal sufficiency and we may reject or require greater specificity on requests that appear overly broad or vague,” the company said.
Facebook also received 15,963 requests from India for “legal process,” 23,047 users’ requests and 617 emergency requests (half of these were met). In May this year, Facebook said it recorded a massive increase in the total number of Indian government requests for 2017 -- a rise of nearly 62 per cent compared to the global average of 30 per cent. The social networking major also accepts government requests to preserve account information pending receipt of formal legal process. “When we receive a preservation request, we will preserve a temporary
snapshot of the relevant account information but will not disclose any of the preserved records unless and until we receive formal and valid legal process,” said Facebook which received 1,000 such requests from India. Globally, the government requests for account data increased by around 26 per cent compared to the second half of 2017 -increasing from 82,341 to 103,815 requests. In the US, government requests increased by about 30 per cent, of which 56 per cent included a nondisclosure order prohibiting Facebook from notifying the user.

PM Modi stops briefly at Varanasi Varanasi, Nov 16 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday briefly stopped at his parliamentary constituency here in Uttar Pradesh on his way to poll-bound Chhattisgarh, an official said. He reached the Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport at Babatpur here in a special Indian Air Force (IAF) aircraft and stayed for a little over 15 minutes, the official added. Then he boarded an IAF chopper and left for Chhattisgarh where he was scheduled to address a rally at Ambikapur, the official told IANS. Although the Prime Minister did not even venture out of the airport, elaborate security arrangements were made.

Criminality or delinquency
W
hen Juveniles or those below ages bet2ween 10 to 18 years commit crimes, they are described as juvenile delinquents from the legal point of view since their acts are considered to be “delinquent acts” and not crimes since they are below 18 years of age. The recent arrest of a 14-year old boy in Kohima for the brutal murder of a teenaged girl whose dead body was found on November 13, has sent double shock waves across the state. The girl was last seen on November 11 after she left home to take part in a prayer programme. Her body was discovered by construction workers covered by a blue tarpaulin inside an unfinished building of Dr. Neilhouzhü Kire Government Higher Secondary School (GHSS) Seikhazou, Kohima on November 13. The 14-year old accused has reportedly confessed to the crime and was later sent to an observation home and not to custody. It is now a matter of public interest as to whether the minor and hardened criminal will be sent to an observation home or will he be tried as an adult, considering the heinousness of the crime? One can even speculate that the brutal murder of the teenager was premeditated and not a crime of passion, if at all the latter can be a valid excuse. How a 14-year old boy could plan and execute such a heinous crime is shocking. Normally at such an age, a boy’s mind would be focussed on sports or entertainment and not planning to murder a girl for whatever reason. There can be no leniency nor excuse for whatever was committed by the boy. In the last few decades, the crime rate by the children under the age of 16 years has increased. The reason of increasing crime rate is may be due to the upbringing environment of the child, economic conditions, lack of education and the parental care. The frightful incident of “Nirbhaya Delhi Gang Rape Case”, on December 16, 2012 shocked the whole nation and many debates were started among legal fraternity and socialists. The main reason and issue of the debate was the involvement of accused, who was just six months short to attain the age of 18 years. Earlier in 2015 the government passed the Juvenile Justice Act by which a minor who commits heinous crime could be tried as an adult. Before that, any teenager who committed even the most heinous of crime was sent to observation home for three years and then released. Many of those juveniles could not be reformed and went on to continue committing crimes. When the law is lenient, then there is no fear for it and that has probably led to increase in juvenile crimes. It’s a crime trend that’s alarming even those who are experienced in law enforcement. Juvenile delinquents are not ignorant about the law concerning punishments as they know they’ll never be sentenced beyond a few years and that too kept in rehab homes. The perception is that these are just kids, but the truth is they may be under the age of 18 but they’re not kids. They’re well beyond their youth in terms of their age and the degree of maturity and the violence which they’re committing, says a psychoanalyst. Society needs to be more responsive and responsible to the ugly signs showing up through crime graphs.
DailyDevotion Still Human! …whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. —1 Corinthians 10:31 In the Scriptures, the great miracle of the incarnation slips into the ordinary life of a child; the great miracle of the transfiguration fades into the demonpossessed valley below; the glory of the resurrection descends into a breakfast on the seashore. This is not an anticlimax, but a great revelation of God. We have a tendency to look for wonder in our experience, and we mistake heroic actions for real heroes. It’s one thing to go through a crisis grandly, yet quite another to go through every day glorifying God when there is no witness, no limelight, and no one paying even the remotest attention to us. If we are not looking for halos, we at least want something that will make people say, “What a wonderful man of prayer he is!” or, “What a great woman of devotion she is!” If you are properly devoted to the Lord Jesus, you have reached the lofty height where no one would ever notice you personally. All that is noticed is the power of God coming through you all the time. We want to be able to say, “Oh, I have had a wonderful call from God!” But to do even the most humbling tasks to the glory of God takes the Almighty God Incarnate working in us. To be utterly unnoticeable requires God’s Spirit in us making us absolutely humanly His. The true test of a saint’s life is not successfulness but faithfulness on the human level of life. We tend to set up success in Christian work as our purpose, but our purpose should be to display the glory of God in human life, to live a life “hidden with Christ in God” in our everyday human conditions (Colossians 3:3). Our human relationships are the very conditions in which the ideal life of God should be exhibited.

Post-mortem Enhancing employability for young Indians: Infrastructure and skill development Lessons for policymakers, academics
E
phesians 2:10 says, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do”. And truly the people of Nagaland are naturally gifted with skills, which if honed has the potential to self sustain and meet aspirations and progress of the people on its own. The development of any region or state thrives on basic infrastructure available. Improvement of basic infrastructure can remove remoteness of an area. Connectivity is one of key aspect which requires improvement. It will open up multiple options for movement of resources for enhancing growth. Similarly, other basic infrastructure like provision of water, health, school, hospitals and commercial centres will make our villages and towns liveable and increase opportunities. Even if we were to improve the infrastructures, our people may not be able to extract the best use of it due to lack of skill development centres that can facilitate training and equipping of individuals for self-reliance and independence. Our people being gifted, culturally and naturally, with numerous talents like weaving, handicraft, music etc, have the potential to make their own unique imprint in India and the world. The present education system does not focus on training young people in employable skills that can provide them with employment opportunities. Today, a large section of our people have outdated skills. With current and expected economic growth, this challenge is going to increase further since more than 75% of new job opportunities are expected to be skill-based. Indeed, the job avenues for most educated unemployed youths in Nagaland will be available to them based on their skills but not only on academic credentials. Eventually, the one who hones their skill, will thrive in the chosen field. To increase the potential of Nagaland in skill development the state needs to focus on the
T
rich diversity of natural resources and intrinsic skills. In this regard, the state needs to focus on a number of fields which will hone and promote existing skills in the state. In the field of Horticulture focus should be more on adopting medicinal and aromatic plants as alternative crops. In tourism, we need to exploit the diverse cultural ethos of various tribes instead of just celebrating “Hornbill Festival”. Tribal tourism can attract a large number of tourists – ask those who have studied/lived in the metros of India. Nagaland’s bio-diversity includes unique birds, moths and insects and wild animals. Nagaland is estimated to have mineral reserves of coal, limestone, iron, nickel, cobalt, chromium, gold, etc - most of which are unexplored. Our diet predominantly includes pork and thus Nagaland is one of the highest importers of pig in the country for both meat and breeding purposes. Why can’t we be self sufficient in piggery? Our women folk known for adeptness in weaving beautiful shawls and other products are now importing not only the raw material but also finished products. Productivity in skill and development process explains an input-output relationship with a crucial factor through which benefits can be distributed in several different ways within the state such as better wages and working conditions to workforce; increased profits and dividends to shareholders, environmental protection and increase in revenue to State government. The traditional sectors such as handloom and handicraft need to be revived and new areas such as IT, Tourism, Apiculture and Horticulture developed. It is also evident that infrastructure and skill development is just one factor necessary for productivity growth and it needs to be an integral part of the development policies. But activities can only prosper if the scourge of illegal taxation and corruption are rooted out from the system. Khumlamo Patton, Akuk Village, Wokha
L
ike many proud Indians I get upset when faced with alarming reports that point to the poor employment rate of India’s college and university graduates. The IT industry body Nasscom’s reports point to the inadequate technical skills and low employability rate of India’s engineering graduates. The effort money that the $167 billion Indian IT industry has to invest in imparting months of intensive training before fresh engineering graduates can become productive on basic software jobs brings out the deficiency of our higher education system in creating job ready engineers. Management education portal MBAuniverse.com’s report on the industry-readiness of MBA graduates from over 2,000 Indian management schools of some significance, barring the top 200 business schools, points to dismal employment prospects for over 300,000 young men and women who annually join the employment market. Conversations of academics at the assessment and job placement platform HireMee with recruiting managers too point to the woefully inadequate training of Indian graduates spread across different streams -- ranging from engineering and commerce, to management and the social sciences -- to even communicate clearly their core technical skills, leave alone career aspirations, or interest areas. It’s a pity that India’s demographic dividend is being put through an education system that is divorced from its very objective of firing up creativity, building problem-solving skills, preparing them to work in a highly interconnected, interdependent global work environment. That we do have a few Islands of excellence -- some of the best engineering, management schools in the world -- whose alumni have earned a name for themselves, their institutions and India, is equally well known. The success of IITs, IIMs, AIIMS and IISc, can be attributed to the exceptional intake quality
as a result of stringent selection criteria and liberal government funding. What can India do to remedy the situation for a vast majority of institutions that are forced to follow the “garbage-in garbage-out” model? These institutions depend on pedagogy that has completely outlived its utility. Divorced from the world of work these, institutions have “very limited” to practically “no industry interface”. India’s over-regulated higher education system perpetuates outdated curriculum, stifles innovation. Even serious education institutions are faced with regulations in some states that cap tuition fee that a student pays for professional programmes. There is limited industry focus and virtually no research and new knowledge creation. This seriously limits the opportunities for lakhs of students to enroll and study in a school or subject of their choice, forcing those with finances to look for opportunities to study abroad. What can we do to improve the quality of millions of graduates coming out of India’s education system? How can India convert millions of “degree flaunting” millennials into employable young men and women? To begin with, education policymakers and academics must articulate what employability is and what it is not. Employability means not just the ability to get a job, but equipping young men and women with the skills, the knowledge and tools to succeed in their careers. The employability at India’s institutions of higher education can improve dramatically once they modernise their outdated curriculum, teachers shift from unloading their knowledge in classroom to a discussion and problem-solving approach. Faculty asking pointed questions and students coming up with solutions. I had an opportunity to debate this issue with careers and employment manager at the Sydney based University of New South Wales. My conversation with Blair Slater, a former Hol-
lywood movie star in Canada, brought out lessons from QS rank 45 UNSW’s experience of preparing nearly 21,000 international students each year for global job opportunities. Blair, an occasional speaker at Indian schools, says it must begins with how the faculty coach their students to think, and come up with ideas on how to enable students to take charge of their own future. It is possible and expected of students not to know what they want to do. A ‘Professional Development Module’ for students is needed to let them experience workplace culture, the recruitment process and preparing them for a global career - through formal interactive sessions, says Blair. When I entered the job market in 1970s as a fresher, getting a job depended on how networked and influential my parents and uncles were. Luckily for those graduating out of college today, there are networking tools like Linkedin that can help them connect with alumni and employers to get jobs. This, of course, comes with caveats: Provided they have sharpened their communication skills and learnt to write effective resumes that help them stand out. Most importantly, they better know that the communication protocol to connect with employers is entirely different from the one they follow on Facebook with their friends. To put it simply, India needs to shift the very objective of its education system from ‘granting degrees’ to focusing on dramatically “enhancing employability”. To me this appears to be the key shift in gears from providing employment to equipping them to the most current skills, teaching them how to market them and then to apply them on the job -- especially one that she was not trained for, one that did not exist when she graduated and the one that had continuously evolved with no sign of having stabilised.

NC acknowledges public support for centenary celebrations
he august house in its emergency Presidential council meeting held at the NSF Conference Hall, Naga Club Building, Kohima on the 16th November, 2018 acknowledged the pioneers and elders who had selflessly contributed to the cause of the Nagas through various forums and in particular the Naga Club and also thoroughly deliberated on the newly formed Naga Club. The house also expressed its deepest appreciation and gratitude to all the schools, colleges and educational institutions, including the various Naga peoples organizations, nonNaga communities and all who participated in the recently concluded 100th Year Commemoration of the Naga Club held on the 31st of October 2018, under the theme; “Celebrating the Legacy” and making the event a grand occasion and a very successful Celebration. We hold no malice or any ulterior motive except to uphold and show our sincere respect and honor the glorious deed of our forefathers who clearly envisioned the destiny of our people. As per the undeniable history and records which are known to the Nagas, the Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) has being upholding the rights and aspiration of the Nagas in general and the students and youths in particular since its inception and for that matter, the NSF for all this many years have been protecting the legacy and properties of the Naga Club till date.
It is an established fact that the Naga Club was officially reformed through the Naga Elders Conference and reposed the Naga club office bearers under the Presidentship of Eno. Azuto Rengma as the legitimate body of the Naga Club. History is clear that they were elected on the 7th January 1982 at Kohima Village Panchayat Hall by representatives from the various Naga tribes. This reformed Naga Club of 1982 presently exists with only one surviving office bearer (Joint Secretary) who is also the Caretaker of the Naga Club. However, this lacunae seems to have encouraged certain individuals or group of people to take over this precious legacy of our fore fathers, who now claim that; (Quote)“some concerned Naga Elders comprising of various tribes, understanding and realizing the sacredness and historical significance of the club in regard to the Naga National Movement and Naga nationhood, came together and held a meeting on 27th March 2017 at a Hotel in Kohima through the initiative of Mr Pelhouruo Suokhrie and discussed on the need of reviving the Naga Club; several rounds of meetings followed. To crystallize the objective a meeting of concern elders was held on 14th May 2017 at Hotel Ozone café, Kohima which decided to hold a further meeting comprising all the Naga Tribes of Nagaland. Accordingly, the meeting of the representatives of Tribal Hohos of Nagaland was held on
16th June 2017 at the Naga Club Building which elected a Team of 5(five) Ad-hoc Office Bearers. Realizing the need to regularize the ad-hoc office bearers for full swing activities on the forthcoming centennial celebration of the Club, the general meeting of the Tribal Hoho representatives on 17th August 2018 regularized the ad-hoc body by voice vote”(Unquote). The quoted statement also clearly mentions only some Naga tribes of Nagaland and hence such appointments are questionable and for which such appointments should be subjected to the endorsement and mandate of all the various Naga tribes While our biggest desire is for mutual understanding and acknowledgement of each others efforts, the meeting resolved that, till such time Nagas come together in consensus and give mandate to form the Naga Club with new office bearers, it is being held that, in the larger interest of the Nagas to strengthened our unity and maintain the legacy of the Naga Club, one should avoid distorting the factual history by abstaining ourselves from further self-defeat but instead give all our effort so as to enable Nagas to remain as one people. We are also clear that the voice expressed by the Naga Club through the submission of the Memorandum to the Simon Commission in 1929 was on behalf of all the Nagas, wherever they are. And in so far as the Celebration of the 100
Years of Naga Club at Khuochiezie, Kohima Local Ground on the 29th of November 2018 is concerned, we wish the organizers all the very best as it is the bounden duty of all Nagas to pay our respect and homage to the pioneers of the Naga Club in any befitting manner. To our fellow Naga public, please accept our unqualified apologies for the confusions that have occurred over the Naga Club Celebration for sometime in the recent past, but now that the pictures are clearer, we are also reminded of the saying that; “The hottest places in hell are reserved for those, in times of great
moral crisis, maintain their neutrality” as stated by Dante Alighieri, the great Italian Poet and writer. 1. President , Ao Kaketshir Mungdang (AKM); 2. President, Angami Students’ union (ASU); 3.

Request for NST Bus services at Nsong HQ & Kebai Khelma area
Sir,
This is to bring your kind notice the difficulties of the common man in the most rural area, with regard to provide NST-bus services to the most rural and needy people of Nsong and Kebai-Khelma area in Peren District. The private taxi which plying in the area were mostly over pack the vehicles, making the journey most irksome and difficult. During this winter/festive season, most people travel from their villages to Jalukie or Dimapur for various purposes. The road condition at present is fine to ply NST-bus in the area. The most rural people in the District during these seasons are finding difficulty to get the taxi services, adding more difficulties to the common man. Most of the people finding very hard to travels since the taxi fare are very costly. The worse sufferers are ladies, elderly and children who find it extremely difficult to travel in such over-crowded like in taxi/sumo. However, it is high time that the transport department initiate necessary steps to reduce the over-crowded travel, to make the journey bearable, if not comfortable. Your anticipation would help the poor and needy people. Expecting the concern department to take up the request and that you will do the needful at the earliest. Zekul, President, NKPO-Nagaland

democracy that has led to a dedicated Congress leader becoming the President of the party,” Modi told Congressmen addressing a public meeting in Chhattisgarh’s Ambikapur. The Prime Minister’s attack came after Tharoor while re-launching his book “Nehru: The Invention of India” on November 13, had said that a chaiwala became the Prime Minister because of Nehru’s commitment to democracy and institution building that provided for a democratic framework.
Modi said it would be good for the country if a person outside the Nehru family became president of that party. “I know it will be good when the country gets out of dynastic politics. But, they are not ready to give credit for this to the 125 crore people of this country that a chaiwala became the Prime Minister. “They do not want to give credit to BJP and Modi. This is the result of their undemocratic thinking. For this too, they want to give its credit to Nehru,” he added. Attacking the Congress policy during the division of Telangana, Modi said: “Atalji (former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee) created Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. “It was a peaceful division and both the states are progressing rapidly today. But look at what the Congress did at the time
of creation of Telangana.” He accused the Congress of not fulfilling the majority of its promises made to the people during Digvijay Singh’s tenure as Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister for two years at the time of the state’s division and Ajit Jogi’s three years’ regime as Chhattisgarh Chief Minister. “What did the Congress governments do for the people of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh when they were in power in these states? “The work that the BJP did, didn’t happen during Congress’s regime. It all happened because of Modi and Raman Singh. “Now, a home is being given in the name of a woman which was earlier given in the name of her husband and son. Now people get free LPG connection for which they earlier sought an MP or Minister’s help,” he said.
After Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal India gives Senegal e-rickshaws, plans to boost clean energy ties withdraws general consent to CBI KOLKATA, NOV 16 (PTI): The West Bengal government Friday withdrew the ‘general consent’ accorded to the CBI to conduct raids or carry out investigations in the state, a top official at the state secretariat said. The West Bengal government’s decision came close on the heels of a similar step initiated by Andhra Pradesh. After the Andhra Pradesh government’s announcement, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Baner jee extended her
support to her counterpart Chandrababu Naidu over the issue. “What Chandrababu Naidu has done is absolutely right. The BJP is using the CBI and other agencies to pursue its own political interests and vendetta,” she said. The general consent was accorded to the CBI by the then Left Front government in West Bengal in 1989. With Friday’s notification, the central agency would henceforth require permission from the state
government to carry out any sort of investigation except those ordered by the court, the official said, requesting anonymity. The CBI functions under the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act. In Andhra Pradesh, a ‘confidential’ government order withdrawing the ‘general consent’ accorded to the CBI to exercise its authority in the state, issued by Principal Secretary (Home) A R Anuradha on November 8, was “leaked” late Thursday night.

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Ambassador of Senegal, El Hadji Ibou Boye take an E-rickshaw ride during a handover ceremony under a ‘Clean Energy Initiative’, in New Delhi, Friday. (PTI)
New Delhi, Nov 16 (PTI): External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj Friday handed over two e-rickshaws to the Ambassador of Senegal here in a gesture symbolising the partnership between the two countries in the clean energy sector. India is supplying 250 e-rickshaws with lithium-ion batteries on grant basis to Senegal, responding to the request of Senegal President Macky Sall to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) statement said. The supply of 250 e-rickshaws is expected to assist Senegal in
adopting clean and efficient energy sources in the area of urban public transport, it said. At the event, Swaraj and Ambassador of Senegal to India EL Hadji Ibou Boye also took a ride on an erickshaw. The Ambassador thanked India, saying people of his country will be very happy to receive the vehicles. “Please accept my thanks and gratitude for this gift of 250 e-rickshaw to my country. People of Senegal will be very happy to receive these vehicles which will be a novelty for them as an environment friendly option,” Boye said.
Deori/Seoni (Madhya Pradesh), Nov 16 (IANS): Flaying Prime Minister Narendra Modi for inflicting the “biggest scam” on the nation in the form of demonetisation, Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Friday assured the people of Madhya Pradesh that his party, if voted to power, would waive farm loans and turn the state into Indias agriculture hub. Addressing rallies in the state, where the BJP is in power since 2003, Gandhi also targeted Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan over the Vyapam scam and accused his government of snatching away lands from tribals and farmers and giving them away to a handful of industrialists. Addressing an election rally in Deori of Sagar district, he said during the note ban exercise of 2016, Modi made hundreds of thousands of labourers, women and small businessmen stand in serpentine queues outside banks. “Did you see any black money hoarders like Nirav
Rahul Gandhi (File)
Modi or Mehul Choksi queuing up?” asked Gandhi. “Through the note ban, Modi snatched the hard earned money of the poor and put them in his cronies’ pockets. “In the last two years, unemployment has doubled and suicide rate among the youth has increased by 2,000 per cent. “China creates 50,000 jobs per day, whereas despite ‘Start Up India’ and ‘Make in India’ schemes, the Indian government creates only 450 jobs in a day,” the Congress leader said. Continuing his attack on Modi over the Rafale “scam”, Gandhi accused him of being a chowkidar (watchman) only to his industrialist cronies.
Gandhi alleged that much like demonetisation, the deal to procure the 36 French fighter jets was only aimed at enriching his industrialist friends. Launching a scathing attack on Chouhan, he said: “Entire Madhya Pradesh knows the role of Shivraj Chouhan and his family in the Vyapam scam.” He added that over 1,00,000 government posts in the state were lying vacant while schools and hospitals were privatised and making them inaccessible to the poor. Addressing another rally in Seoni, Gandhi accused the Chouhan-led Bharatiya Janata Party government of snatching away the land of tribals and farmers. “Three most important things for tribals and farmers are water, land and jungle. And this government has snatched them away for the sake of a handful of industrialists,” he said and assured that if Congress came to power it would protect the land rights of tribals and farmers.

Ambikapur (Chhattisgarh), Nov 16 (IANS): Exploiting to the hilt Congress leader Shashi Tharoor’s remarks that a “Chaiwala” (tea-seller) became Prime Minister because of Jawaharlal Nehru’s commitment to democracy, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday attacked the Congress challenging it to appoint a nonGandhi as party president for five years. He said the Congress was not ready to credit people for this but only his dynasty. “Do a little thing, if you respect democracy. If a chaiwala or Modi became the Prime Minister because of your faith in democracy, policies, role in constitution and due to Nehru, make any good Congress leader the President of your party for at least five years. Then I will accept that Nehruji had such a commitment to

Myntra itself is likely to see attrition in the light of recent developments following the exit of Binny Bansal as the group CEO earlier in the week.

executive officer Ananth Narayanan said he had not resigned from the company, Livemint reported. Earlier this week Walmart Inc, which owns Flipkart and Myntra, had said that Narayanan would report to Flipkart chief executive Kalyan Krishnamurthy after the exit of group CEO Binny Bansal. The move led to speculation that Myntra would be integrated with Flipkart’s fashion business. B u t o n F r i d a y, Narayanan said in an interview that Myntra would continue to run as an independent company under his leadership. Instead Myntra will completely integrate Jabong, which will continue as a brand and separate platform. The move will lead to some redundancies and about 10% of the combined workforce of Myntra and Jabong would be cut, Narayanan said. “Ever since we bought Jabong we’ve been integrating the supply chain and tech. Now we’ve decided to integrate the org (Jabong organisation) as well. Myntra and Jabong will continue to run as distinct platforms but they will be run by one team,” he said.
NEW DELHI, Nov 16 (PTI): The government will soon unveil a new industrial policy which may include a dedicated chapter on the importance of design, a top official said Friday. Highlighting the significance of design and innovation in India’s economic progress, Secretary of the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) Ramesh Abhishek also extended his “full support” to the setting up of a National Design Centre as early as possible. “We are also bringing out a new industrial policy soon and we are proposing to include a substantial chapter and paragraphs on the importance of design, and how it should be taken forward,” he said at a CII event here. DIPP, in August last year, floated a draft industrial policy with the aim to create jobs for the next two decades, promote foreign technology transfer and attract USD 100 billion foreign direct investment (FDI) annually. The proposed policy will completely revamp the Industrial Policy of 1991. Among other things, the policy would endeavour to reduce regulations and bring new industries in focus. The DIPP Secretary also said that enforcement of intellectual property rights was being improved through better training of police officers and judiciary.

New Delhi, Nov 16 (Agencies): Jabong will see all its functions merge with Myntra, days after Walmart put the two fashion businesses of the Flipkart Group under direct control of CEO Kalyan Krishnamurthy. The company dismissed reports of Myntra’s CEO Ananth Narayanan’s departure from Myntra, on Friday. “Since Myntra’s purchase of Jabong in mid2016, the two brands have been steadily integrating key business functions and streamlining processes. This has resulted in revenue growth and a significant improvement in the customer experience. As the next step in this process, Myntra and Jabong will now fully integrate all the remaining functions including technology, marketing, category, revenue, finance and creative teams,” the company said in a statement. “The closer integration of Myntra and Jabong is a necessary step in our continuing development. By better aligning our resources with our long-term plans, we can put the best structure in place to serve our sellers and brand partners and ultimately benefit our customers,” the company said.

SL parliament hit by further chaos
Perera, a senior parliamentarian, was injured in the melee as he was attacked with chili powder. Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna MP Vijitha Herath had also come under a chili powder attack, Daily Mirror reported. The rioting United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) members demanded the arrest of two legislators of the Wickremesinghe’s UNP. They charged that two UNP legislators, Palitha Thewarapperuma and Ranjan Ramanayake were carrying knives during the
brawl on Tursday in which UPFA MP Dilum Amunugama was injured. Police protected Jayasuriya from the rioting MPs as he called the Tamil National Alliance lawmaker MA Sumanthiran to propose the suspension of the standing orders. Jayasuriya on the basis of a voice vote announced that the motion against Rajapaksa was defeated as physical voting could not take place due to the brawl. The rioting MPs threw books at the police.

L o n d o n, N ov 1 6 (Agencies): North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has supervised the successful test of a new “high-tech” tactical weapon, state-run media say. According to BBC report, the KCNA news agency gave no details on the type of the weapon, saying only it had been developed over a long period. This is North Korea’s first official report of a weapons test in a year. In a summit in June Mr Kim and US President Donald Trump agreed the Korean peninsula should denuclearise, but a detailed plan was never set out. North Korean state media have provided no details as to what kind of weapon this was, but it comes shortly after a report based on satellite imagery identified the extent of North’s complex network of missile bases around the country. South Korea says it is in the process of analysing what the weapon is, but many have pointed out that the North made no commit-
ment to halt any weapons development or shut down its missile bases. Responding to the inspection, a US State Department spokesman said the US “remained confident that the promises made by President Trump and Chairman Kim will be fulfilled”. “Kim Jong-un inspected the testing of a newly developed high-tech tactical weapon at the Academy of National Defence Science,” the KCNA reported. “The testing of the high-tech tactical weapon has been carried out successfully.” The news agency added that Mr Kim expressed “great satisfaction” over the “state-of-the-art” weapon that “builds impregnable defences of our country and strengthens the fighting power of our people’s army”. Meanwhile, South Korea’s unification ministry said it was Mr Kim’s first known inspection of a testing site since he was present at the launch of the Hwasong-15 intercontinental
Pakistan got a ‘big’ package aid from China, says Imran Islamabad, Nov 16 (PTI): Pakistan has received a “big” package of aid from its all-weather ally, China, Prime Minister Imran Khan said Friday, but will not reveal the quantum of financial support as President Xi Jinping has asked him not to reveal it, a media report said. Prime Minister Khan made his maiden visit to Beijing earlier this month and met President Xi and Premier Li Keqiang and other Chinese leaders and sought aid to overcome the financial woes faced by his cash-strapped government. The Pakistan government is facing grave economic challenges as it
struggles to avoid a financial crisis and keep the economy afloat. During an interaction with journalists at the PM House, Khan said that Pakistan has received a “big” package of aid from China but will not reveal it, Geo News quoted Khan as saying. The prime minister said he did not want to reveal the quantum of aid from Beijing as other countries will start demanding more money from China, the report said. Chinese President Xi has asked Khan not to announce the quantum of financial support, the Geo News report quoted the Pakistani prime minister as saying.
missile in November 2017. The ministry said it believed this time Mr Kim was supervising the test of a traditional weapon because the term “strategic weapon” was not used by the KCNA. Yes and no. At the Singapore summit in June, both Mr Trump and Mr Kim agreed to work towards denuclearisation on the Korean peninsula. But the agreement did not include any timeline, details or mechanisms to verify the process. Both countries have also never agreed on the goalposts of “denuclearisation”. Pyongyang has been clear from the start that it would not unilaterally disarm. But the US has also made it clear that there will be no sanctions relief until “complete denuclearisation”. Talks appear to have stalled since then, and discussions aimed at setting up a second summit between both leaders failed to materialise. Last week Mr Kim’s aide, Kim Yong-chol, was supposed to travel to New York and meet US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. But the BBC understands that the meeting was cancelled after the State Department discovered that the North Koreans did not get on the plane as planned. However, the US still maintains that another summit between Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump will take place early next year.
San Francisco, Nov 16 (IANS): The death toll from the destructive wildfires in California has increased to 65 while 631 people were reported missing, authorities said. Of the 65 victims, 63 were killed in Northern California’s Camp Fire, deemed as the worst wildfire in the state’s history, while two people were killed in Southern California’s Woolsey Fire, reports CNN. Butte County Sheriff and Coroner Kory Honea said on Thursday evening that hundreds of rescue personnel -- deputies, National Guard troops and coroners -- dressed in white overalls sifted through smouldering rubble and checked mangled cars, searching for human remains. Camp Fire has turned the hard-hit town of Paradise into ash and debris and also devastated the nearby communities of Magalia and Concow.
Kyauktan (Myanmar), Nov 16 (IANS): Dozens of Rohingyas were detained by the Myanmar police on Friday after they came ashore in the country’s Kyauktan region. Over 100 members of the mostly Muslim minority were arrested and put into trucks by the police after their boat, bound for Malaysia, lost its way and washed up near Kyautktan, about 30 km south of Yangon, Efe news reported. Some of the occupants said that they left Sittwe, the capital of the state of Rakhine, on October 25 due to food shortages in their camp. They said their boat went adrift and lost its way while sailing in the sea. One of the passengers onboard the boat died of starvation, a 45-year-old man said. He said his own three children were starving in the camp, forcing them to seek refuge in Malaysia. The survivors were in the custody of the police, the report said.

PRESS INFORMATION We the Civil Engineers' Association of Nagaland and Combined Technical Association of Nagaland through this, want to express our concern and support to those individuals fighting for their rights under Public Health and Engineering Department; also through their PR dated 9th Oct. 2018 on the backdrop of those officers, 2 Executive Engineers (E.E's) and 4 Sub-Divisional Officers (S.D.O's) overstaying their post without retiring.

L o n d o n, N ov 1 6 (IANS): UK Prime Minister Theresa May on Friday appealed to her Cabinet to stick together as she battled to cling onto her job, a day after a wave of resignations thrust her terms for a departure from the EU into jeopardy. As No 10 geared up for a potential vote of no confidence, government whips were recalled to Westminster from their constituencies, the Independent reported. “I want all of my colleagues in the Cabinet to continue to do the excellent job they’ve been doing,” May said when asked during a radio phone-in if she expected further resignations. She insisted she would carry on as Prime Minister and defended the Brexit deal that infuriated many of her MPs. The leader was speaking minutes after former Culture Secretary John Whittingdale became the latest to announce he had submitted a letter of no-trust in her. On the other hand, Environment Secretary Michael Gove hotly tipped to take on the freshly vacated role of Brexit Secretary or abandon the Cabinet said he would remain in his post as he offered his backing for May, who was facing back-

lash over the provisional deal she struck on the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. May said she would name in a day or two a successor to Dominic Raab who quit as Brexit Secretary on Thursday, according to Efe news. The coming days will be critical for both May’s Brexit deal and her premiership as she seeks to quell a rebellion that has been brewing for months within her own party over the UK’s future ties to the EU. Members of her Conservative Party were openly plotting on Thursday to try to trigger the no-confidence vote in an effort to force her to negotiate a different deal with Brussels. The pact has drawn fierce disapproval from key Conservative figures as well as the main opposition Labour Party who said May
has conceded too much. May relies on Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party for a majority in the UK’s 650-seat Parliament. That alliance looked increasingly shaky on Thursday, as members of the party criticized the deal. May said she was “still working” with the party and had a number of exchanges with its leadership. While insisting that her deal was the best option for the UK, May also sought to reassure voters that medical supplies would be maintained in the event that the UK leaves the bloc in March without an agreement. May, who suffers from Type 1 diabetes, said she was personally sensitive to worries about the continuity of supply since her insulin was manufactured by a company in Denmark.

in these camps or in towns under surveillance. In 2015, thousands of Rohingya and Bangladeshi migrants were stranded in the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea after Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia denied them entry. Thai authorities that year busted a ring of illegal trafficking of Rohingyas through the dangerous sea route in rickety boats. Myanmar officials have said they are ready to welcome the Rohingya back in the country from Bangladesh. But the voluntary repatriation process that was due to take place from Thursday as per an agreement signed between Bangladesh and Myanmar failed as none of the refugees was ready to return as they feared for their safety.

President Sirisena said that he would not “prorogue the Parliament under any circumstances”. “I urge all Parliamentarians to uphold principles of democracy parliamentary traditions at all times. I will not prorogue Parliament under any circumstances,” the president tweeted. The trouble began in Parliament on Thursday when the Speaker agreed to a request from Wickremesinghe’s UNP that a vote be taken on a statement made by Rajapaksa demanding fresh polls. Jayasuriya allowed Rajapaksa to make a statement as a lawmaker after stating that he does not recognise the claim of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) leader who lost a no-confidence motion on Wednesday. Rajapaksa’s side has disputed the no-trust motion, saying proper procedure was not followed and accused Jayasuriya of bias towards his party. Parliament on Wednesday passed the noconfidence motion against Rajapaksa after the Supreme Court overturned the presidential decree to dissolve the House and hold snap polls on January 5.

C o lo m b o, N ov 1 6 (PTI): Sri Lanka’s Parliament witnessed complete chaos on Friday as rival lawmakers threw chilli powder and furniture at each other, disrupting the proceedings for the second day, forcing the Speaker to summon police inside the House and adjourn the session until Monday. The brawl occurred a day after Speaker Karu Jayasuriya announced there is no prime minister or government following a noconfidence motion against disputed prime minister Mahinda Rajapaksa. Friday’s proceedings were to repeat the floor test which was disrupted on Thursday. Ousted prime minister and United National Party (UNP) leader Ranil Wickremesinghe warned of anarchy if the situation in the country was not resolved. The status quo must return to what it was before October 26, he was quoted as saying by Colombo Gazette. President Maithripala Sirisena, who installed Rajapaksa as prime minister last month in a controversial move, had agreed to a floor test with the leaders of ousted prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe’s coalition during crisis talks last night.

tion before kick-off. Rooney retired from England duty in August, 2017 but the FA decided to turn the friendly into a tribute game for the Liverpool-born player. The 33-year-old former Manchester United and Everton forward, who now plays in the U.S. for Major League Soccer team D.C. United, did not have a major impact on the game but forced goalkeeper Brad Guzan into a save in stoppage time. A 54th goal for England would have been the perfect way to bow out but it was typical of Rooney’s modest approach to the match that he never tried to create chances for himself, instead showcasing, for a final time at Wembley, his passing ability.

Lingard put in a good performance and his 25th minute goal, a perfect curling shot into the top corner, was a carbon copy of his strike against Panama at this year’s World Cup.

New Delhi, Nov 16 (PTI): Veteran L Sarita Devi and rookie Manisha Mouna gave India a flying start in the women’s World Boxing Championships with dominating victories in their respective bouts here on Friday. While Manisha punched above her weight to outclass veteran American Christina Cruz in an unanimous verdict in 54kg, 2006 edition gold medallist Sarita (60kg) had to work harder to emerge 4-0 winner on points against Diana Sandra Brugger of Switzerland in their opening bouts at the K D Jadhav Stadium here. Both Sarita and Man-
isha advanced to the prequarterfinals where they will face Kellie Herrington of Ireland and Dina Zholaman of Kazakhstan respectively on Sunday. Harrington had won a silver in 64kg in the 2016 World Championships but she has gone one weight category down in this tournament. She beat Troy Garton of New Zealand on Friday. Zholaman is the defending world champion but Manisha has beaten her in the Silesian Women’s Boxing championship in Poland earlier this year. The 20-year-old Manisha from Haryana, who was making her debut in
the World Championships, was in complete control during the first round bout against the American who is almost twice her age. The 36-year-old Cruz from New York was the last edition’s bronze medallist besides winning the same colour of medal in 2012 also. Manisha, who had won a gold in the India Open and a silver in the Poland event this year, was the clear winner as she dominated all the three rounds. The five judges gave her a unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 30-26, 30-26, 29-28). Manisha’s mother Usha Rani and grand-
mother Saroj Devi, who had come all the way from Kaithal, were at the stands to watch her bout. The 36-year-old Sarita faced a tough fight from her experienced Swiss opponent, who also has been in the international circuit for more than a decade, before winning 4-0 (28-28, 29-28, 30-27, 29-28, 29-28). The Manipuri boxer, who has been competing in the World Championships since the first edition in 2001, was clearly the better boxer as all the five judges gave points in her favour. In the second round, the Swiss got a standing count after a hard punch from Sarita landed on her
face. Still, one judge gave the Swiss 10-9. In the third round, Sarita showed signs of tiredness but she carried through the bout. Only one judge ruled in her favour in the third round while the other four awarded identical 10-9 in favour of the Swiss. After the bout, Sarita admitted that she was finding it difficult to control her opponent. Sarita dedicated the win to the people of Manipur who had contributed financially to pay the fine after she was banned for one year in 2014 following the Incheon Asian Games controversy in which she refused to accept the bronze medal at the victory ceremony. In other bouts of the day, 2016 World Championship and Rio Olympics bronze medallist Mira Potkonen of Finland beat Commonwealth Games gold winner Anja Stridsman of Australia in 60kg. Another Rio bronze winner in 60kg, Anastasia Beliakova of Russia moved to the pre-quarters with a unanimous verdict win over Elisa Williams of Panama. In 48kg, Algerim Kassenayeva of Kazakhstan beat Jazzelle Bobadilla of United States in a 3-2 split decision to earn the right to face five-time world champion M C Mary Kom on Sunday.

India beat Ireland to reach T20 semis I-League: Sandro double strike helps Chennai beat Aizawl
Providence (Guyana), Nov 16 (PTI): Indian spinners produced yet another controlled performance to clinch a semi-final berth with a comfortable 52run victory against Ireland in a group league encounter of the ICC Women’s World T20 on Thursday. After managing 145 for 6 on a slow track, Indian spinners maintained tight leash on Irish women restricting them to 93 for 8 in 20 overs. With their third win, India with six points were assured of a last-four spot along with Australia (6 points from 3 games) with New Zealand, Pakistan and Ireland already even before their campaign could officially end. While India’s batting performance leaving a lot to be desired, the spinners Radha Yadav (3/25 in 4 overs), Deepti Sharma (2/15

in 3 overs), Poonam Yadav (1/14 in 4 overs) and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (1/10 in 4 overs) were economical as well picked wickets at regular intervals. Once Deepti got rid of Gaby Lewis (9) with a classical off-break and Poonam’s loopy leg-break saw the end of Clare Shillington (23) stumped by Taniya Bha-
tia, Ireland had no chance whatsoever. Earlier, riding on a painstaking half-century from former skipper Mithali Raj, India managed only 145 for six after being put into bat. Veteran Mithali scored (51 off 56 balls) and added 67 runs in 10 overs with Smriti Mandhana (33, 29 balls).
Aizwal, Nov 16 (IANS): Chennai City FC extended their lead at the top of the I-League standings, getting their fourth win as Sandro Rodriguezs two second half strikes helped them beat hosts Aizawl FC 2-1 here on Friday. Chennai now have 13 points from five games, Aizawl, who won the I-League two seasons ago, find themselves at the bottom of the table. The hosts began confidently enough and pressed high from the word go. In fact, they even created two chances in the first quarter of an hour, but Leonce Dodoz, guilty of many misses on the day, muffed both of them. After a goalless first half, Aizawl began on the front foot and Kromah’s head from close in the 48th minute, saw a reflex save from Kabir, who also had a brilliant game to be awarded the Hero of the Match. In the very next minute, Duata gave away a needless
foul in a dangerous position outside the Aizawl box. He was made to pay as Sandro struck his second brilliant free-kick of the league to beat Lawmpuia all ends and put Chennai in the lead. In the 72nd minute, Isak put in a wonderful cross from the
right flank, which beat the Chennai defence to land at Dodoz’s feet. The Beninese fumbled and the ball after hitting Kabir fell to Kromah on the rebound, who tapped in for the easiest of goals. In the 77th minute, Romario Jesuraj made one of his
runs down the right flank and cut inside the box to cross across the face of goal. Sandro on the far left, came up with a classy first time connection, this time with his left foot, to send the ball crashing into the back of the net.
Nations League: Croatia overcome Spain 3-2
Jedvaj hadn’t scored a goal for his national side before the match but managed to score a brace against Spain on Thursday.
Z ag r e b, N ov 1 6 (IANS): Croatia battled to the final whistle and prevailed with a 3-2 over Spain to stay alive in the UEFA Nations League. Spain, with six points from four matches, retain the lead in League A Group 4, while Croatia go level on points with England at 4 after three matches, though the Three Lions have the advantage on goal difference, reports Efe news. After beating England in the opener in London and routing Croatia at home, Spain looked set to cruise into the final stage until they lost 2-3 to the
Three Lions in Seville last month. That was the backdrop for La Roja’s visit to Zagreb to face the 2018 World Cup runners-up, anxious to dispel the memory of their abysmal performance two months ago in Spain. The hosts, physical on defence and direct on the attack on Thursday, largely dictated the flow of play until the final seconds of the first half, when Spain’s Saul Ñiguez and Isco Alarcon threatened the Croatia goal. With the score 0-0 and both teams needing a win, the 36,000 spectators
at Maksimir stadium were treated to a second-half offensive display involving some of the most talented players in the game. Just as Spain seemed to be getting the upper hand, a giveaway by Sergi Roberto left Croatia’s Andrej Kramaric alone in front of goal and he beat keeper David de Gea to put the hosts up 1-0 in the 54th minute. Spain reacted furiously and the equalizer was not long in coming. Iago Aspas sent a deft pass to Isco behind the Croatia defence and the forward relayed the ball to midfielder
Dani Ceballos for an easy goal in the 56th. The visitors stepped up the pace and would have taken the lead if Aspas hadn’t hit the cross-bar with a strike from close range. Instead, the next goal went to Croatia thanks to a rare mistake by De Gea, who had a chance to grab the ball before Tin Jedvaj headed-in after a corner to make it 2-1 for the home side with 20 minutes left. But a blunder at the other end in the 78th minute let Spain get back into the game, as Sergio Ramos converted from the spot after a hand ball by defender Sime Vrsaljko. The final stretch was all Croatia and Jedvaj completed the brace with a goal in the 93rd minute. With the outcome, Spain, who have played all four of their matches, need Croatia and England to draw at Wembley next Sunday to be assured of advancing directly to the final stage.
