DIMAPUR, OCT 31 (NPN): It is not the first time that public have come out strongly against illegal multiple taxations and syndication of business as many mega rallies were held in Dimapur notably October 31, 2013 (Clock Tower Junction) and August 25, 2017 (Naga Shopping Arcade) but the state government has not taken action to eradicate these menaces that have destroyed business, burdened the public and promoting Dimapur’s infamous ‘taxation industry’.

Recognition of Khehoi village kept in abeyance

DIMAPUR, OCT 31 (NPN): State cabinet during its meeting on October 30 decided to keep in abeyance the recognition of Khehoi village until a “considered decision” is taken, based on the report of the committee constituted to verify the land demarcation of the village boundaries.

In this regard, a fourmember committee was setup with commissioner Nagaland as the chairman, secretary Land Revenue as member secretary and DC Peren and DC Dimapur as members. The committee has been given three months to submit its report to the Home department. It was also decided to let the committee examine and make spot verification of the inter-district boundaries between Dimapur and Peren and submit its report to the Home department within six months. Meanwhile, the other agenda discussed during the meeting included issues on Nagaland Lokayukta, where secretary Law & Justice apprised the cabinet on matters related to appointments.

Further, the cabinet also decided to ban departments from observing any jubilee or celebration on completion of any occasion.

This is it!

Junction on Wednesday (October 31, 2018) was not as expected despite all shops and business establishment including some schools closed for the rally.

Various speakers vented their ire against those involved in these illegal businesses (multiple taxation) besides blaming the government for not taking any action as per the law, to curb such activities.

PAC convenor, Vekhosayi Nyekha reiterated that multiple taxation (taxing the same item at gates, godowns and shops etc by various organisations, unions, welfare committees), syndicates and lessees (appointed by Naga Political Groups- NPGs) have overburdened the business

and resulting in sky rocketing of prices which the common citizens have to bear. He also charged some government agencies of being hand-in-glove with “unscrupulous tax collections” and the law enforcement for a lackadaisical approach to such crimes. Nyekha also slammed NPGs for being busy only for threatening and collecting illegal taxes from the people instead of “fighting for their freedom.”

Mincing no words, Nyekha said “we bow our heads in shame as NPGs are behaving like snakes”. He said NPGs must change and heed the voices of their people. He said NPGs were collecting “ill-gotten money to construct houses, buy luxury cars and thinking they can secure their future but instead, are only destroying themselves.” Nyekha also slammed the government of India for “playing dirty games” by prolonging negotiations that only result in mushrooming of factions and demanded immediate solution to the Naga political issue.

Naga Council president T. Bangerloba suggested a fourpoint strategy to deal with illegal and multiple taxation and syndication business such as –removal of all collection gates; bringing solution to the Naga issue; proactive engagement

NEW DELHI, OCT 31 (PTI): Nagaland government on Wednesday gave an undertaking before the Supreme Court that it would appoint the state Lokayukta within three months.

A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, which was hearing a PIL seeking appointment of an anti-graft ombudsman in every state, took note of the affidavit of the Nagaland chief secretary that the ombudsman under the Nagaland Lokayukta Act, 2017 would be selected and appointed within three months.

"Further, it has been stated by the Chief Secretary that the state of Nagaland undertakes to ensure that the appointments to the office of the Lokayukta will be completed within three months from today," the bench,

In view of the statements made in the affidavit, "we leave it to the authority concerned to effect necessary amendments and to complete the process of appointment in the office of Lokayukta within the time undertaken that is three months from today," it said.

Earlier, the apex court was not impressed with the Nagaland government's submissions in support of amendments to a local law to ensure the chief minister's role in selection and appointment of Lokayukta.

It had also summoned the Nagaland chief secretary to interact on the issue of change in the local law governing selection and appointment of Lokayukta in the state.

In case of older public service vehicles, those registered upto December 31, 2018, the respective State/ UT governments will no-

tify the date by which these vehicles have to install VLT device and panic buttons, the ministry stated.

It said that the ‘Command and Control Centres’ will be setup by the state or

VLT manufacturers or any other agency authorised by the state government.

These centres will provide interface to various stakeholders such as state emergency response centre, transport department or Regional Transport Offices, Ministry of Road Transport and Highways and its designated agencies, device manufacturers and their authorised dealers, testing agencies, permit holders, etc. These centres will also provide feed to the VAHAN data base or the relevant data base of the State with regard to the over speeding, device health status, it said.

Citing the instance of world’s youngest nation South Sudan that got independence in 2011, he said two years later, civil war erupted due to divisions among the people who belonged to different ethnic groups.

Stressing the need for relationship between political leadership and communities, the UN consultant urged the Naga people to celebrate 100 years of Naga Club by striving to leave behind another legacy for the next 100 years for the upcoming generations.

In his address, former secretary general of South Asia Forum for Human Rights (SAFHR) Tapan Bose said he had travelled the length and breadth of Naga areas and found the Naga people well-cultured, but unfortunately were not found interesting by Indian States.

He added that the Naga people were fighting for their right to self determination and right to life, while continuing to live in peace in the manner they had over the centuries.

He observed that the submission of memorandum by Naga Club to Simon Commission became a historical event for the Nagas.

Every district has its own front office where beneficiaries can avail legal aid, free counselling, advice on governmental schemes etc. Kanuo further added that women, children, and disabled persons can avail free legal aid anytime. He stressed on the importance of creating awareness about the Village Council Act, its powers and functions for proper administration of village development.

In his short speech, Reny Wilfred, ADC Kiphire said that the common man must be made to understand what their rights and entitlements were, and the responsibilities of each departments and institution to avail such rights.

He stressed on the benefits of such camps and hoped for more mini-camps in the near future.

SW celebrates 50 years of existence

Correspondent

KO H I M A , O C T 3 1 (NPN):: On the occasion of the department of Social Welfare’s 50 years Golden Jubilee Celebrations, advisor social welfare Noke Wangnao appealed to department officials to be more responsible in fulfilling needs of the people.

Addressing the grand celebration as the guest of honour at capital convention centre on Wednesday in Kohima, the advisor expressed joy in being a part of the event stating that it was his “second inning” serving the department, after having served from 1977-1982.

He recalled that in the initial years, the department started with three DWO’s and one ICDS project and now it had grown to eight DWO’s, nine DPO’s, 60 ICDS projects and various commissions catering to the needs of senior citizens, the destitute, differently abled, and women and children through a network of 3980 Anganwadi centres.

Over the years he said the responsibilities and prerogatives of the department were increasing and said he would attend to those who were in need but be very firm with officers who do not perform. Wangnao asserted that the department played a key role in delivering services to target beneficiaries and promised his commitment to ensure that services are delivered to the targeted beneficiaries.

Secretary social welfare Sarah R. Ritse, in her brief address said that for a way forward and the development of a state, the process must also include upliftment of the weakest and the most vulnerable sections of society-- especially those in the most rural areas of the state.

Just as the name of the department says, the department was meant to look into the welfare of

Noke Wangnao releasing the souvenir at Capital Convention Centre, Kohima on Wednesday. (NP)

those in societies that need assistance and intervention, she stated.

Quoting Mahatma Gandhi who said “The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members”, Ritse said the work or success of a department like Social Welfare was a reflection on the State itself.

She said the department must realize and acknowledge that the programs and schemes they implement were much more than a “government duty” but they were also very important humanitarian works.

Ritse commented that the problem found in many government establishments was because of following an old set system that was in place for decades and said what worked 50 or 40 years ago may not be as effective today. Director social welfare T. Merangtsüngba Aier in his address paid rich tributes to all retired officers and staff colleagues for their relentless and untiring contributions to the department.

He recalled that the department started off with four officers in 1968 and today there were more than 150 officers and about a thousand staff. Also Aier reported that the depart-

ment had improved the delivery system in the ICDS program, better quality with micro nutrient fortified supplementary food and varieties of modern educative and durable ICDS materials were made available in all the 3980 Anganwadi centres covering all the villages across the state reaching 3.66 lakh ICDS beneficiaries.

Further he said the department was providing old age pension to 57400 senior citizens, 4464 widows, 3276 disable persons, scholarship to 208 students, 1625 completely blind persons and more than 50 NGOs with Grants-in-Aid. First director of SW, A.Y Odyuo, retired director Khevito T. Shohe also spoke at the event.

The celebration was marked by an obituary reference, special song presentation by The Nagaland Chamber Choir, drama on the theme “Uplift” by Dreamz Unlimited and Cherry Blossom School Kohima. Earlier Noke Wangnao also released the jubilee souvenir and memento.

Ministers, advisors, and a host of senior government officials from various departments, department officials and others attended the event.

Correspondent

IMPHAL, Oct 31: Thousands of people took part in the “October Mass Rally” organized by United Committee Manipur (UCM) in Imphal on Wednesday, reaffirming to protect Manipur’s territorial integrity.

People from different communities wore traditional attires of their respective communities gathered at Tidim Ground in Imphal since 7 am.

Members and workers of political parties used their respective party flags while participating in the rally.

The rally passed through different streets of the city and converged at the Khuman Lampak sports complex.

The participants carried placards with various slogans calling for upholding the unity and integrity of the state like “Long live Manipur,” “One Manipur, one government, one policy,” “No Article 371(A) or

During the rally staged under the banner “October Mass Rally for peace unity and integrity (Let Manipur live and grow together)” the participants shouted various slogans all the way.

Educational institutes and most private establishments remained closed for the day while passenger services stayed off the road

to participate in the rally.

Market places in other valley districts also wore deserted look as vendors and shopkeepers suspended their business for the day.

Besides deployment of large numbers of armed and unarmed police personnel along the entire routes, Central security forces such as CRPF and Assam Rifles were present at various places along the route.

Talking at the sidelines of the rally, UCM president Sunil Karam said that the mass rally was organized to reaffirm standing united by all communities living together in the state in harmony since time immemorial.

Another objective of the mass rally was to give out a message to the government of India not to give any kind of threat and

Campaigning gathers steam in poll-bound Mizoram

Aizawl, Oct 31 (PTI): The campaigning for the November 28 Mizoram Assembly elections is on in full swing, though the notification for polling to the 40-member House is yet to be issued.

The stakes are high this time as Mizoram is the only north-easter n state which has a Congress government and the BJP, which is upbeat after ousting the CPI (M) from Tripura, is keen on making inroads in the Christiandominated state.

Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla, his cabinet colleagues and top Mizoram Pradesh Congress Committee leaders have

already hit the campaign trail, and so has former CM Zoramthanga of the main opposition, the MNF - part of the BJP-headed NEDA (North East Democratic Alliance).

With major political parties announcing the names of almost all candidates, party leaders, star campaigners and workers are carrying out door-to-door canvassing under the watchful eyes of the Mizoram People’s Forum (MPF), which has been formed by different churches and NGOs for electoral reformation.

The MPF, which had prohibited door-to-door campaigning in the earlier

elections, has allowed it this time but with a rider -- the campaigners have to be accompanied by local leaders of the outfit to ensure that no money changes hands --sources in the organisation said.

Political parties have agreed to curtail a number of poll campaign strategies, and the guidelines laid down are deemed to be more stringent than the model code of conduct of the Election Commission, the sources said.

Joint platforms have been organised in the towns and villages of the north-eastern state, and these are being chaired by local Mizoram People’s

Forum leaders, while individual candidates are holding public meetings to woo voters.

The ruling Congress has announced the candidates for all the 40 seats.

The MNF also declared names for all the seats, except for Tuichawng, which falls within the Chakma Au t o n o m o u s D i s t r i c t Council (CADC).

This was due to the diktat of the powerful NGO Coordination Committee, a conglomerate of major civil societies and student bodies, asking political parties not to field any candidate belonging to the Chakma community, MNF sources said.

disturbance to the harmonic living of different communities.

Karam said that the mass rally was a part of the sustained civil movement against any attempt to disintegrate Manipur and it was not directed against any community or organization.

“It is a show of the people’s resolve to safeguard Manipur and determine their own future,” he said.

Standing united and take a concrete decision to save the state’s integrity if India’s government attempted to disintegrate Manipur’s territorial integrity was one of the three resolutions passed by today’s public meeting.

Other resolutions included objection to the any kind of divisive policy of the Indian government like extension of Article 371(A) of Indian constitution or creation of “regional council” which may affect Manipur politically, socially, historically and economically in the future.

UNC’s strike hits normal life in Manipur’s hill districts Correspondent

IMPHAL, Oct 31: A dawn to dusk shutdown-call given by United Naga Council (UNC) in its operational areas severely hit normal life in some hill districts of the state on Wednesday.

Vehicular movement along national highways, particularly along ImphalJiribam section of NH-37, Imphal-Mao section of NH-2 and Imphal-Moreh section of NH-102 was also severely hit owing to the 12-hour shutdown which commenced from 6 am. According to reports, bandh supporters came out on the streets at Mao along NH-2 and some areas along NH-102 in Chandel district and imposed the bandh.

A report from Senapati said that almost all shops and business establishments in the district headquarters downed their shutters during the strike hours. The streets in the district headquarters also wore a deserted look. Similar situations were reported from Chandel, Ukhrul, Kamjong, Tamenglong and Noney district headquarters.

UNC imposed the 12-hour bandh under its jurisdiction demanding that the Indo-Naga peace talk finds solution to the Naga political problem at the earliest.

While announcing the bandh, UNC urged the negotiating parties to expedite the historic Indo-Naga Framework Agreement based on unique history of the Nagas and situation at the earliest.

floods in Brahmaputra again

NEW DELHI, OCT 31 (PTI): For the second time in a fortnight, China has alerted India of a possible flood-like situation in the Brahmaputra river in Arunachal Pradesh after a landslide blocked water upstream in Tibet, a senior water resources ministry official said on Wednesday.

The alert of a landslide and subsequent formation of an artificial lake was informed to India late

Monday evening, separately through diplomatic channels and the mechanism under which China shares hydrological data with India, the official added.

“As per latest information received from Chinese side, the estimated blocked water storage volume at landslide location (Milin section of Yarlung Zangpo in Chinese territory) at 6.30 am on 31st Oct 2018 is 337 mcm,” the central water

commission tweeted.

On October 17, China had communicated to India about a landslide near Jiala village in Milin county in the lower ranges of Yarlung Tsangpo river in Tibet, which led to formation of an artificial lake.

As the water started breaching the lake, the districts along the Brahmaputra river in Arunachal Pradesh were put on high alert for possible flash floods.

Shillong, Oct 31: Meghalaya opposition leader Mukul Sangma on Tuesday hit out at the ruling National People’s Party-led government for turning a blind eye to the “pain” and “agony” faced by residents of the state along the inter-state boundary with Assam.

“There has been standoff between Assam authorities and residents of the state but how many times did the chief minister (Conrad Sangma) or Home minister (James Sangma) speak to the counterparts,” he told journalists.

“Their silence shows that complete insensitivity of the Meghalaya government towards its people,” Sangma said urging the Chief Minister and Home Minister to get involved with their counterparts to prevent fallout of law and order in the bordering areas.

However, Sangma said that a solution to the vexed boundary dispute could be found only if political parties in both the states put a stop to politicizing the issue.

Terming Assam the aggressor into Meghalaya territory, the veteran Congress leader questioned if

the Chief Secretary and Deputy Commissioners and Superintendent of Police of the districts bordering Assam had held discussions with their counterparts to prevent any breakdown of law and order.

Sangma, who is the longest Meghalaya Chief Minister suggested that the state government adopt a strategy where all political parties should be involved from both the states to resolve the boundary issue.

Recalling that Meghalaya had submitted documents pertaining to the areas of differences, the opposition leader said, “Assam was keeping quiet and sought time for studying the documents but they were engaged in various activities along the inter-state boundary. May be after studying our documents, they found that they are weak.”

The Meghalaya assembly had adopted a resolution on March 2011 urging the union government to constitute a commission to re-examine and redefine the inter-state boundary between Meghalaya and Assam.

However, Assam assembly unanimously passed a resolution opposing the constitution of such a commission.

Armed and dangerous

F

ollowing the horrific massacre of 11 Jews at the shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue (a Jewish synagogue) in Pittsburgh (USA), on October 28, America is again forced to seriously ponder over the fact that there are too many guns around in the country and it takes only one to pick up one and start killing people. President Trump’s response probably fits the stand of the gun lobby, that guns don’t kill people on their own as those responsible are people who use them wrongly. The shooter, Robert Bowers, 46, of suburban Baldwin, fired from an AR-15 assault rifle and three handguns was also shot and injured after which he surrendered to authorities. Bowers allegedly burst into the Tree of Life Congregation Synagogue in the Squirrel Hill neighbourhood of Pittsburgh and screamed anti-Semitic epithets as he opened fire on the congregants, law enforcement officials said. For the past several decades, the debate regarding both the restriction and availability of firearms within the United States has been characterized by a stalemate between an individual right to bear arms based on the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and the responsibility of government to prevent crime, maintain order and protect the wellbeing of its citizens. Pitted against each other are those who want stricter control over possession of hand guns and any other weapon and the powerful National Rifle Association (NRA) which has successfully opposed gun control in the USA. Those who want the state to exert control over sale and possession of handguns in America believe that strict control will limit handguns in the hands of people. The NRA and its supporters on the other hand, believe that purchase and possession of hand guns is a fundamental right that cannot be denied. The NRA stands on the plea that safety lay in imparting training on handling and use of hand guns and that possessing it was insurance against criminals. The problem is that lax gun controls has saturated American society with a plethora of guns. Further, despite the measures to monitor sale of hand guns, many gun shops sell items over the counter like selling medicines without prescription. Even the measure aimed at penalising such defaulting gun shops is being strongly opposed by the powerful NRA lobby. The bloody carnage is not likely to tip the scales against the NRA and its powerful lobbyists which comprises of billion dollar arms manufacturing industries who contribute generously towards the campaign kitty of politicians. Repeated polling has found that a majority of Americans believe the constitution ensures their right to own a gun, with less than 40 percent of Americans favoring stricter gun laws. Policies and laws in the United States are greatly influenced by power lobbies and the gun lobby is one of them. Gun control would mean tight control on purchases and that would mean inability to sell more guns than needed and therefore, bad for business. The American mania for guns goes back to the history of the nation beginning with cowboys and hunters. By and large, Americans reassert their freedom to own guns for self protection and wouldn’t want any law that makes it difficult for them to buy guns as one would buy books in a store. It is a classic case of having the cake and eating it too but America has to act. It has lost far too many precious lives at the hands of crazy people with too many guns.

DailyDevotion The Trial of Faith If you have faith as small as a mustard seed… nothing will be impossible for you.

—Matthew 17:20 We have the idea that God rewards us for our faith, and it may be so in the initial stages. But we do not earn anything through faith— faith brings us into the right relationship with God and gives Him His opportunity to work. Yet God frequently has to knock the bottom out of your experience as His saint to get you in direct contact with Himself. God wants you to understand that it is a life of faith, not a life of emotional enjoyment of His blessings. The beginning of your life of faith was very narrow and intense, centered around a small amount of experience that had as much emotion as faith in it, and it was full of light and sweetness. Then God withdrew His conscious blessings to teach you to “walk by faith” (2 Corinthians 5:7). And you are worth much more to Him now than you were in your days of conscious delight with your thrilling testimony.

Faith by its very nature must be tested and tried.

And the real trial of faith is not that we find it difficult to trust God, but that God’s character must be proven as trustworthy in our own minds. Faith being worked out into reality must experience times of unbroken isolation. Never confuse the trial of faith with the ordinary discipline of life, because a great deal of what we call the trial of faith is the inevitable result of being alive. Faith, as the Bible teaches it, is faith in God coming against everything that contradicts Him— a faith that says, “I will remain true to God’s character whatever He may do.” The highest and the greatest expression of faith in the whole Bible is— “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him” (Job 13:15).

Promise of Sham

014 parliamentary election witnessed the most acrimonious trade barbs among political parties in independent India. Race to book seats in Lower House of the Parliament was so strong that both national and regional parties made all out effort to woo the voters. In the midst of all these political drama citizens found themselves in crossfire as always. The fortress of then ruling coalition government was battered by corruption, inflation and anti-incumbency.

While the opposition party taking advantage of the prevailing situation dished out irresistible manifesto promising sun and moon to voters. They anointed a man with a chest of 56 inches to lead the charge against their political rivals and he did it in his own way with the best weapon at his disposal, the cannon of Oratory. Every time he unleashed devastating attack against his rivals he decimated them and finally emerged as undisputed victor. His fond and oft reiterated shabd ( word) was achhe din ( good day) and people were swayed by this promise and gave thumping victory to BJP, garnering 282 Lok Sabha seats on its own and reached 336 with NDA alliance in 543 parliamentary seats on offer. This by the way was similar to 1984 general election when Rajiv Gandhi won 414 seats for his party.

Coming back to the present government’s promise; it has become like chasing a philosopher’s stone. Much water has flown since then but acche din remains elusive promise vanishing fast in thin air. Today the poster boy of 2014 sweats to speak on inflation, devaluation of rupee, corruption, fuel price hike, unemployment and black money stashed away on foreign shores. These among others were his promises which he assured citizens to fix with his magic wand when he was pleading his country men and women to make him chaukidar of this nation. Where has this tall promise gone? You spoke

like a great doctor who knows his patient’s illness through and through and this country thought you have the blueprint for complete cure from inflation, corruption, unemployment etc. But now we know that all political promises are sham devoid of any content.

This country has given you and your party four and half years to prove your mettle but you don’t seem to have the character to match your word.

The citizens have realized this because your acche din is far worse than UPA’s bura din.

Those days we bought fuel and still had coins jingle on our pocket but now we are terrified to visit gas station it ploughs our pockets digging out all we have leaving nothing. Few years back middle income family enjoyed the luxury of using LPG gas cylinder for cooking meals and still had needed amount to buy decent food items to serve on table, but today here I spent Rs.1050 for a cylinder. If this is what achhe din is I prefer bura din where I could get LPG with Rs. 450 and diesel with Rs. 56. Have I become anti-national in expressing my opinion? If so keep it with you because the constitution of this great nation guarantees me liberty of though and expression. You have not done much but yes talked much through your mann ki baat but Sir aam admi like me wants to see real change on the ground and not lectures from foreign nations and Red Fort. We the citizens are tired of being hoodwinked for your dirty political game.

For the good of this great ancient country walk the talk and cease sloganeering, fulfil what you promise and take every one on board to enjoy equal rights and opportunity this country has to offer. Stop religion, caste, tribe and race as vote bank commodities it’s not for political parties to manipulate it’s something that this nation ought to celebrate as rich in diversity.

Speaking about real change on the ground, there

were some waves in Nagaland as well “Change is coming”.

Nagas thought this must be like the dove which came back to Noah with olive branch on its beak signaling him, now you can come out to live peacefully in your own land.

During those days much hype was also generated with Clean Election thing and people were convinced that politically this is the most opportune time.

Many new names were heard but as usual the old horses prevailed getting admitted in State Assembly with new party attire. As usual Nagas waited for days to know who will get what portfolios, finally the names were out newly crowned modern princes took to press promising many things as a follow up of change is coming programme. Almost all the departments were sent notice on how to function under new regime and it’s almost nearing a year but nothing is visible. The whole energy and resources of the ruling government appear to be spent on rejoinder, rebuttal, allegation and counter-allegation doing nothing. Mind you netas!

Nagas feel ashamed to see on front page of daily news paper the bickering between ruling and opposition parties. We want to read development story being printed on front page, small factories being revived from what remains as defunct, better road connectivity and generation of employment by creating investment friendly atmosphere in the state allowing private companies to set their foot in Nagaland. But when will Promised change come??? Remember you have promised voters of 2018 assembly election they are waiting painstakingly. Stop your insane political vendetta and begin to govern, deliver and develop this beautiful state of Nagaland. If not your “Change is coming” slogan will be another chapter in the history of “Promise of Sham.”

LPG maddening experience

T

hrough this column I would like to bring to the notice of the concern Government authority of Food & Civil supply, Consumer Right forum, District Authority and concern NGOs that the shortage of LPG supply in Nagaland is really becoming a maddening experience for the citizen of Nagaland especially rural area consumer. Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) schemes under the leadership of our honorable Prime Minister Shri. Modiji was a big relief for our women folk, however through the slow take off of the scheme especially in Nagaland, most of the villagers were discouraged to use fire wood from this scheme and to which most rural villagers are getting accustomed to. I come from a small rural village and using LPG has made my life easier. However today with so many new outlet LPG distributers mushrooming every year in rural areas, government schemes and workshop programs just to get 1 (one) LPG refill, for which I have to wait for two/ three months which is so frustrating. So I would like to highlight what response I get from my INDANE distributer since majority of the market is captured by INDANE Pvt. Ltd. And the waiting has been to long: 1. There is no transporter/truck willing to come to our village.

2. There is no LPG in the plant, the 7th mile INDANE plant in Dimapur.

3. There is shortage of LPG Cylinder/ bottle.

4. Truckers are on Strike.

5. Technical problem with the system.

6. Preference is given by the company to Urban Distributer/agency since they are catering to a larger population.

7. There is backlog of orders. The list goes on and on.

I am quite amazed by their response as to how such a reputed company like INDANE Pvt. Ltd claiming to be listed in Fortune 500 have problem supplying LPGs to the public in Nagaland. Please if this excuses are true, my only request to the concern company/ authority is that the company should deliver as per your concept to counter the extensive deforestation that takes place in rural areas and vision to preservation of the environment and help limit the use of conventional fuels like firewood.

There should be no discrimination between urban and rural consumers since we are also paying the same amount. Today LPG at our village is more of a decoration item, then to be used for its actual purpose as fuel for cooking. I am very hopeful of the concern authorities that these grievances of the rural poor will be response with urgency.

(From previous issue) The Gover nment announced M. Nageshwar Rao, a 1986 batch of the Odhisa Cadre as the Interim Chief of the CBI who is also entangled in various controversies. Most prominent of which is the Hindustan Tele Printers Ltd. Case and the Controversial Uniform Scam in Odhisa besides several other provocative hate speech against religious minorities on various occasions. On assuming charge, Mr. Rao immediately made serious rejig in the setup. Key Figures such as Mr. A K Sharma, Joint Director (Policy) and in charge of AntiCorruption was transferred to the Multi-Disciplinary Monitoring Agency. Mr. A K Bassi, the head of the investigation against Mr. Asthana who was working under Mr. A K Sharma was transferred to Port Blair. Several other officers who were part of the investigation were also transferred while those who were demoted earlier were restored to their position.

All these while, the momentum outside the CBI headquarters was gradually building up. The Congress party had called for a nationwide protest at the CBI offices across the country. Mr. Verma had moved the Supreme Court and interestingly in his plea, he had stated (Quote) “Certain investigations into high functionaries do not take the direction that may be desirable to the government” (Unquote).

NGO Common Cause led by notable Lawyer and Activist Mr. Prashant Bhushan moved the SC against Mr. Verma’s removal. Mr. Bhushan had earlier, along with former BJP Ministers Mr. Jaswant Singh and Mr. Arun Shourie had written a complaint to the CBI alleging corruption in the Rafale Deal.

The mass protest called by the Congress Party on 26 October 2018 coincided with

AMEN

I

have been a steadfast reader of Nagaland Post for the last fifteen years or so and not many things are as profitable and enlightening for me as reading and musing over the Editor’s column in every issue. For instance, the editorial under the caption “Testing times” (Sunday, 28 Oct,2018) gave me much food for thought leading me to the realisation that there are, after all, intellectuals among the Naga Christians who do not hesitate to publicly point out the weakness plaguing the church today. It is a fact that ordinary Christians believe, or rather, indoctrinated to believe, that the members of the clergy are demigods and that criticising them amounts to blasphemy. Further, a believer who dares to point out the maladies in the church may be branded a black sheep.

Because of this ‘fear of God’ believers generally do not openly or publicly speak or write about the unchristianness of the Christian church, though privately many a layman entertains not so favourable thoughts and views on the lives, conduct and deed of many who God wills to be the embodiment and custodians of virtue. Agreed that there are many true servants of God who are the beacon and inspiration of believers. Not forgetting many steadfast and unassuming Naga Christians, men and women, young and old, rich and poor and the high and the lowly who listen to Jesus as He exhorts “Learn from Me”. I believe that it is because of the faith and intercession of such exemplary Naga Christians that God has been tolerating and protecting our land and our people inspite of our wickedness, hypocrisy and despicable ways of life. But the fact remains that spiritual putrefaction has eaten into the very foundation of the church that many church leaders today seem more immersed in the pursuit of temporal interests and a majority of the formula-driven and emotion-induced Christians have become unabashed abusers of the tenets of Christianity. It is in this context that ‘Testing times’ deserves to be applauded and echoed loud and far by the Naga Christian readers.

Many of those who are lording over the church may have taken ‘Testing times’ as an affront but I guess the good Lord in Heaven is nodding in approval. In fact, the church, both Catholic and Protestant, needs not one but a few Luthers to restore its credibility.

Volumes can be written by way of corroborating or endorsing the “Testing times” but taking into account the space factor and readers’ patience, I would only partially quote, for my own comment, two sentences in the “Testing times”, viz.”…church leaders become ‘important’ in the state and feel very much part of the government…” and “… the church did not separate itself from the political affairs…”

Maybe the much fashionable Holistic concept of theology is invoked to justify the dabbling by church leaders in politics, particularly in election related activities, but it is unpalatable that some full-time and many part-time church leaders and activists involve themselves in partisan election campaigns and even illegal acts related to elections.

Conceded that political parties/politicians may resort to almost any means for staying afloat in their chosen field but it surely cannot be God’s will for the anointed custodians of His laws to cohort with machiavellian kingpins of politics or to indulge in morally, ethically and legally proscribed acts and behaviour particularly in times of elections.

Leaving aside the active church functionaries, many academically educated lay Naga Christians including prominent and influential leaders, while trying to publicly announce their Christian credentials and feigned loyalties, often discredit Christianity in general and Naga Christians in particular through their unbecoming conduct and expression. A glaring case in point was the recent mindless personal attacks targeted at an individual who happened to be the State President of a major national political party discharging his official duty and responsibilities and the tactless demeaning of a nonChristian religion without bothering about the facts, reality and potentially adverse consequences. Such a mad rush to pounce upon a hapless prey and instigate communal hatred all in the name of defending Christianity has caused much damage to the credibility of our religion, besides creating a wrong impression about the attitude and mentality of Naga Christians in the eyes and minds of adherents of other religions.

Nagaland Post has dared to ‘take the bull by the horns’ and I hope that it will generate an educated and honest debate in the Naga Christendom.

CBI in the cauldron

the hearing called by the 3 Judge bench headed by the CJI Mr. Ranjan Gogoi.

The Congress Party led by its Party President Mr. Rahul Gandhi along with senior leaders from the JDU, the CPI and the TMC furiously thronged the CBI Headquarters at Delhi which was cordoned off by the Delhi Police and Paramilitary forces prompting the arrest of Mr. Gandhi and other key leaders. Several political analysts termed this protest as a huge leap and a great boost for Rahul’s image ever since he took over the presidentship of the Congress Party.

The same day, it also saw the clash of the top legal luminaries of the Country. The Supreme Court in its interim judgment passed a fair and balanced verdict. It did not immediately reinstate Mr. Verma who was divested of his powers. Instead, it directed the CVC to probe over the allegation on Mr. Verma which was to be supervised by retired Justice AK Patnaik and submit its report in two weeks time. This is in a way to strictly ensure that there should not be a jot of suspicion against the CBI Director of any misconduct.

Mr. Verma who has a clean track record may consider this as an opportunity to clear the allegations leveled against him by Mr. Asthana. The CVC probe will determine whether Mr. Verma will be acquitted or indicted. Mr. Rao although elevated has been clipped of his wings after the Supreme Court restricted him from taking any policy decisions and to furnish the decision with regard to the transfer of investigation, change of Investigating Officer(s) to the court in a sealed cover. The Court has also directed status quo on Mr. Asthana till the next hearing.

Interestingly, Mr. A K Bassi has challenged his transfer to Port Blair in the Supreme Court and has claimed that he

has ‘Incriminating evidence’ against Mr. Asthana. However, the court has declined the urgent hearing.

In the event, the CVC gives a credible report indicting Mr. Verma on 12th November.

The Court may direct actions against Mr. Verma. Failing to do so on the part of the CVC, the Court is unlikely to give an extension considering the grievousness of the case and Mr. Verma might be reinstated immediately as mandated by the Supreme Court in the Vinnet Narain Judgement.

The CBI war has dragged in major Government Institutions into its vortex. Mr. Asthana had earlier named Mr.Alok Kumar Verma and Mr. Rajeshwar Singh, Joint Director of the Enforcement Directorate of trying to tarnish his image. The Government has started a ‘preliminary enquiry’ against Mr. Singh on an allegation of disproportionate assets against him. Meanwhile, BJP leader Mr. Subramanian Swamy has threatened to withdraw from all the cases that he had filed against Mr.P Chidambaram, Mrs.Sonia Gandhi, Mr.Rahul Gandhi, and Mr. Shashi Tharoor if Mr. Rajeshwar Singh is re-

moved stating that there is a conspiracy to remove the Joint Director. This also clearly reveals the rift inside the BJP. The enquiry on Mr. Singh is being conducted by the Revenue Department and Mr.Singh has made a scathing attack on Revenue Secretary Mr.Hasmukh Adhia accusing him of ‘stalling his promotion’ and ‘compromising National security’ among others. The PMO, Former Enforcement Directorate Boss Mr. Karnal Singh, National Security Advisor Mr. Ajit Doval are also known to have taken sides.

In 2013, the Supreme Court termed the CBI as a ‘Caged Parrot’ and the recent spat between the Government and the Reserve Bank of India with the latter hinting at more autonomy and less interference from the Government will have grave implications on the Government and unless the ‘Institutional Freedom’ is guaranteed it will have serious ramifications.

The next hearing is scheduled on 12th November 2018 after the Diwali Celebrations.

May the light triumph over darkness.

Reader’s Post Sir,

A brave front

Public rally on illegal taxation was held with participation of people from various walks of life in Dimapur. It is true that business people and public have been subject to illegal taxes in many forms. People have been keeping quiet for so long for fear of repercussions but today the public showed a brave front when it stood up against illegal forces that have been taxing them. Let us hope that this will result in a fruitful culmination not only for public but also for government and the state.

Delhi air quality rises to ‘very poor’ 96 yr old Kerala woman scores 98 pc in literacy exam

New Delhi, Oct 31 (IANS): The air quality in the national capital and regions around it improved from “severe” to “ver y poor” on Wednesday but the environment panel imposed curbs on some industries amid forecasts that pollution may worsen.

The Supreme Courtappointed Environment Pollution Control Authority (EPCA), which is monitoring the pollution levels, announced restrictions on construction activities, hot mix plants, coal and biomass-based industries, brick kilns and stone crushers in the NCR. It said it can restrict movement of private vehicles and entry of trucks to Delhi, if needed.

“The coming days could see a sharp deterioration in air quality in DelhiNCR,” EPCA said. It added that the coal-based Badarpur power plant was already shut and diesel generator sets were banned in Delhi since October 15.

On Wednesday, despite a slight improvement due to winds, the air quality was still “severe” in many places.

The air quality in Gurugram in Haryana was still in the

“severe” category.

Pollution levels in Delhi-National Capital Region are likely to see a spike in coming days, as farmers in neighbouring Punjab and Haryana step up stubble burning.

EPCA has ordered closing down the entire industrial area of Mundka in north Delhi from November 1 to November 10 while the municipal corporation clears plastic, rubber and other wastes.

EPCA has also requested people in Delhi to avoid using private vehicles between November 1 and November 10.

At 4 p.m. on Wednesday, the Air Quality Index (AQI) of Delhi was 358 or “very poor”, against 402 on

Tuesday. The AQI of Gurugram was severe at 416.

Meanwhile, Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh saw an improvement in AQI to 362. At Noida and Greater Noida, AQI was 347 and 383 respectively.

According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the “severe” levels affect healthy people and seriously impact those with existing diseases. The “very poor” levels cause respiratory illness on prolonged exposure.

“There is increased burning of paddy straw in Punjab and Haryana, the direction of the wind is now from the northwest. All this, combined with DelhiNCR’s own pollution sources, could lead to a spike in

pollution in the coming 10 days,” EPCA said.

On Wednesday, almost all places in the NCR saw a drop in the the major pollutants PM2.5 and PM10 -- particles in the air with diameters less than 2.5 mm and 10 mm respectively.

Across 35 areas in Delhi where pollution is actively monitored, the average concentration of PM2.5 and PM10 was 221 and 408 microgrammes per cubic meters on Wednesday at 7 p.m., against 263 and 472 units on Tuesday.

The same PM2.5 and PM10 concentration across 48 monitoring stations in the NCR was 209 and 386 on Wednesday, against 257 units and 457 units on Tuesday.

The sa fe l im it fo r PM2.5 is 60 units as per national standards and 25 units according to international standards. For PM10, up to 100 units is safe by national standards and 50 units by international standards.

Both PM2.5 and 10 get into the lungs and cause cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, but PM2.5 is more dangerous because it mixes with the blood stream.

Centre desperate, hiding facts on economy: Chidambaram New Delhi, Oct 31 (IANS): Former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram expressed concern on Wednesday over reports that the government had invoked a hitherto unused section of the RBI Act to direct the central bank to act at its bidding, saying it shows the government is “desperate” and “hiding facts” about the economy.

“If, as reported, government has invoked Section 7 of the RBI Act and issued unprecedented directions to the RBI, I am afraid there will be more bad news,” Chidambaram said in a series of tweets. He said the Congress governments did not invoke Section 7 in 1991 or 1997 or 2008 or 2013. “What is the need to invoke the provision now? It shows that government is hiding facts about the economy and is desperate,”

told The Hindu that she was aiming at clearing the tenth standard equivalent examination. “I am delighted to clear the examination with high marks. I would like to continue my studies,” she said.

Her teacher Sati K. said Karthyayani had qualified to enter the Class

IV equivalency course.

“She is very enthusiastic about education and it was reflected in marks she scored. She is eager to continue education,” Ms. Sati said.

She had never gone to school and used to work as a domestic help and cleaning staff.

public interest.

The Congress leader’s remarks came amid reports suggesting that the government has invoked Section 7 of the RBI Act that empowers the government to consult and direct the RBI to act on issues that it considers necessary in public interest.

Former Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha, who is also a critic of the Narendra Modi government, attacked the government alleging it was hell-bent on destroying all the institutions of the country. “After CBI it is the turn of RBI. The government is hell-bent on destroying all the institutions of our country. High time the people woke up to these surgical strikes against our own institutions,” the former BJP leader said in a series of tweets.

New Delhi, Oct 31 (PTI): Gold prices rallied for the second consecutive session Wednesday, rising

by Rs 30 to touch nearly six-year high of Rs 32,650 per 10 gram amid increased festive demand. Silver, however, continued to remain weak and fell by Rs 40 to Rs 39,200 per kg due to tepid demand by industrial units.

Traders said sentiment remained positive on growing demand in the wake of upcoming festival of Diwali.

Globally, gold stood at USD 1,217.84 an ounce in New York.

In the Delhi bullion market, gold of 99.99 and 99.5 per cent purity surged

by Rs 30 each to Rs 32,650 and Rs 32,500 per 10 gram, respectively. This is the highest level since November 29, 2012 when the precious metal had closed at Rs 32,940 per ten gram.

New Delhi, Oct 31 (PTI): The abrupt sacking of Cyrus Mistry as the chairman and director, respectively, of Tata Sons and its crown jewel TCS violated provisions of the Companies Act, RBI rules and more importantly, Tatas’ own articles of association, RoC, Mumbai said in an RTI reply.

The right to information (RTI) reply, given by Uday Khomane, the assistant registrar of companies (RoC), Mumbai on October 3, is in response to a RTI request filed by the investment arms of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group on August 31.

The reply said the way Mistry was removed from the chairmanship of Tats Sons and also as the director of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), violated the relevant legal provisions under the Companies Act, 2013; the Reserve Bank rules governing NBFCs; and more importantly the rule 118 of the articles of association (AoA) of Tata Sons, the parent of the diversified Tata group, which is registered as an NBFC with the monetary authority.

that RBI Governor Urjit Patel may choose to resign if a specific direction is issued to the central bank under Section 7.

Former finance minister and senior Congress leader P Chidambaram warned of “more bad news” if indeed the government were to invoke Section 7 of the RBI Act. If the move was indeed true, it showed that the government was ‘desperate’ and was hiding facts about the economy, he said adding the previous UPA government did not invoke Section 7 prior to liberalisation of the economy in 1991, the Asian financial crisis of 1997 or the period after the recession in 2008.

“If, as reported, the government has invoked Section 7 of the RBI Act and issued unprecedented ‘directions’ to the RBI, I am afraid there will be more bad news today. We did not invoke Section 7 in 1991 or 1997 or 2008 or 2013. What is the need to invoke the provision now? It shows that the government is hiding facts about the economy and is desperate,” he tweeted.

Sources said never in the history of RBI has a direction under Section 7 of RBI Act been issued to the central bank.

nance ministry wrote three separate letters in the past few weeks to the RBI on issues ranging from Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) framework to liquidity management and sought consultation under Section 7 of the RBI Act. The government wants RBI to carve out exemption for power companies under the PCA framework that outlines triggers for declaring a loan account as stressed or NPA, sources said adding the second letter pertained to use of RBI’s capital reserves for providing liquidity to the market and a third letter was for relaxing constraints on banks for loans to small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

Section 7 of the RBI Act empowers the government to issue directions to the central bank, after consultation with RBI Governor, on issues that it considers serious and of public interest. This section has never been invoked before.

Sources said Section 7 has two parts - consultation and then issuing a direction to RBI for taking some action in public interest. Right now only consultations are on, which may or may not result in any direction being issued, sources said.

government has sent at least three letters on different issues under Section 7 (1) of the RBI Act that gives it powers to issue any direction to the central bank governor on matters of public interest. They, however, insisted that the government has not taken any action of issuing any specific direction and has only initiated consultations with the central bank on unresolved issues.

Without making any reference to the letters, the ministry statement said, “both the government and the central bank, in their functioning, have to be guided by public interest and the requirements of the Indian economy.”

“For the purpose, extensive consultations on several issues take place between the government and the RBI from time to time.

This is equally true of all other regulators,” it said.

The government, it said, has never made public the subject matter of those consultations. “Only the final decisions taken are communicated. The government, through these consultations, places its assessment on issues and suggests possible solutions. The government will continue to do so.”

New Delhi, Oct 31 (PTI): The government has for the first time ever used a provision of law to ask the RBI for resolution of differences between them on stressed loans in power sector and other issues, sources privy to the development said.

Without acknowledging the notices sent to RBI under Section 7 of the RBI Act, the finance ministry in a statement said autonomy was “essential” but its functioning must be guided by public interest and needs of the economy.

Amid a standoff between the ministry and RBI over the central bank’s handling of weak public sector banks, tight liquidity in the market and ways of resolving bad loans in the power sector, unconfirmed reports claimed RBI Governor Urjit Patel was considering stepping down if the government were to issue an unprecedented direction.

“The autonomy for the central bank, within the framework of the RBI Act, is an essential and accepted governance requirement. Governments in India have nurtured and respected this,” the ministry said in a brief statement.

Protests erupt after Pak SC acquits Bibi appeal is allowed. Sentence of death set aside. Asia Bibi acquitted of charges,” said Justice Nisar.

Asia Bibi’s lawyer, closely flanked by a policeman, told the BBC that he was “happy” with the verdict, but also afraid for his and his client’s safety.

A police spokesperson in Lahore said that around 500 protesters had gathered outside the provincial Assembly and blocked roads in the area. “They are committing vandalism,” he said.

Protests with up to 300 participants, most of them supporters of the TLP, were going ahead in many other places in Lahore.

In Karachi, demonstrations were organized in at least five places, city spokesperson Abid Hussain said.

Around 300 people blocked the main entrance to Islamabad, which connects it to neighbouring Rawalpindi.

Under the Pakistan penal code, the offence of blasphemy is punishable by death or life imprisonment.

Bibi’s case has attracted widespread outrage and support from Christians worldwide and condemnation from conservative Islamist groups in Pakistan, who have demanded the death penalty for her.

In 2011, senior politician Salman Taseer was shot dead by his own bodyguard

for voicing support for Bibi.

Also in 2011, a Christian minority minister, Shahbaz Bhatti, was shot dead at his home for defending Bibi and opposing anti-blasphemy legislation.

UN envoy meets Lankan prez, discusses political crisis Parliament Speaker Karu Jayasuriya and conveyed Guterres’ message for the need to respect democratic values and constitutional provisions in the country, amid ongoing political crisis.

Meanwhile, Reporters Without Borders (RSF), in a statement, urged the Sri Lankan authorities to respect journalists’ safety and editorial independence after supporters of Rajapaksa invaded state media outlets on October 26 in order to seize control of them.

Journalists have found themselves at the centre of the political power struggle that began when President Sirisena fired prime minister Wickramasinghe and replaced him with Rajapaksa, who earned a prominent position on the RSF’s list of the world’s biggest press freedom predators during two terms as president, from 2005 to 2015, it said.

“Just minutes after Rajapaksa was sworn in as prime minister, supporters of his party, Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP), led by former information minister Keheliya Rambukwella, invaded the newsrooms of various state media. “Helped by union leaders linked to the SLPP, they took control of the two public service TV channels,

Rupavahini and ITN, the radio stations that are part of the Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation, and the Lake House press group,” it added.

In a dramatic turn of events last Friday, Sirisena replaced Wickremesinghe with former president Rajapaksa.

He also suspended Parliament until November 16, which experts said was meant to buy time to engineer crossovers from Wickremesinghe’s side to Rajapaksa in the 225 member parliament to reach the 113 working majority mark.

Rajapaksa has so far managed to rope in five more lawmakers to bolster his strength to 101.

On Tuesday, angry protests rocked Sri Lanka’s capital as thousands of demonstrators gathered for a rally organised by deposed prime minister Wickremesinghe’s party against what it said was a “coup” by President Sirisena, even as the opposing sides were engaged in efforts to secure their numbers in Parliament to end the country’s political crisis.

Sirisena is under increasing political and diplomatic pressure to reconvene Parliament and resolve the Constitutional crisis.

The landmark ruling set off violent protests by hardliners who support strong blasphemy laws.

Demonstrations against the verdict were being held in Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar and Multan. Clashes with the police were also reported, the BBC said.

“The protest for the sanctity of the Prophet has started. We will die (for the sanctity). We are not going to step back,” radical Islamist party Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) -- which had threatened the judges with

dire consequences if Asia Bibi was acquitted -- said in a statement.

The TLP statement cited by Efe news warned that train stations and airports would be blocked.

The Red Zone in Islamabad, where the Supreme Court is located, was sealed off by the police.

Paramilitary forces were deployed to keep protesters away from the court. Chief Justice Saqib Nisar, who read out the ruling, said Asia Bibi could walk free from jail in Sheikupura, near Lahore, immediately if not wanted in connection with any other case. “The

Dhaka, Oct 31 (IANS): The UN World Food Programme (WFP) on Wednesday said that it needs more funds to continue assisting the hundreds of thousands Rohingya refugees, who have been living in Bangladesh camps after fleeing an offensive by the Myanmar military last year.

The WFP said it had spent around $20 million to assist the refugees in Bangladesh following the crackdown in Myanmar in August 2017. “We are here to highlight the plight of families of Rohingyas so that governments around the world do not forget about their needs. The international community stepped

up in a successful way... but pretty soon we will need more money,” said WFP Executive Director David Beasley in a press conference. Beasley said the shortage of funds was owing to the fact that “in the last two years the number of civilian hungry people in the word rose from 80 million to 224 million, primarily driven by man-made conflict whether we talk about Syria, Iraq, Yemen, South Sudan, Nigeria or North East Nigeria”, Efe news reported.

The WFP usually imports emergency supplies from outside the country but in the case of Bangladesh, the agency has been trying to integrate into the local

economy, said Beasley, adding that the WFP has been buying around $10 million worth of products monthly from Bangladesh. Beasley also said that the situation had improved in the refugee camps since his visit last year. Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Bangladesh announced that it will begin to repatriate the Rohingyas to Myanmar around the middle of November. The announcement came nearly a year after both the countries signed a repatriation agreement in November 2017.

The Rohingya exodus had began after the Myanmar military launched the August offensive in Rakhine state following attacks on

Meanwhile, according to Dailystar report, Danish Minister for Development Cooperation Ulla Tornaes on today announced additional funding of US$ 4.6 million to meet the urgent food needs of Rohingyas and host communities.

Ulla Tornaes said they are doing whatever they can to put pressure on the government of Myanmar to make sure that a political solution to the Rohingya crisis is found.

“I can assure you that from the Danish government side we’re putting all the pressures that we can do,” said the Danish Minister at a joint press conference in a city hotel mentioning that Denmark remains committed to standing by Bangladesh.

Earlier, the Danish Minister and Executive Director of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) David Beasley jointly visited Rohingya camps in Kutupalong-Balukhali of Cox’s Bazar district.

J a k a rt a , O c t 3 1 (Agencies): Indonesia deployed divers on Wednesday around the site of an aircraft that crashed into the Java Sea with 189 people on board after picking up a signal searchers believe reveals the plane’s location, Aljazeera reported.

Armed forces Chief Hadi Tjahjanto said a searchand-rescue effort identified the possible seabed location of the downed jet. Debris and some human remains were found previously, but not the main fuselage and black boxes. “We strongly believe that we have found a part of the fuselage of JT610,” Hadi told TV One, referring to the flight.

The search team had the location coordinates but now had to confirm it was the fuselage, he added.

A 22-metre long object was found at a depth of 32 metres, the navy said.

Naval officer Haris Djoko Nugroho said divers would go down to the site once a side-scan sonar provided a more detailed picture of the object. The aircraft crashed into the sea with 189 people onboard on Monday. There were no survivors.

The search was expanded on Wednesday to 15 nautical miles from the

point where the plane lost contact, according officials.

Ground staff lost contact with Lion Air flight JT610, shortly after the Boeing 737 MAX 8 took off in the morning from the capital Jakarta on its way to the tin-mining town of Pangkal Pinang.

Indonesia sent teams of divers to search for the fuselage while also using “pinger locators” to find the cockpit recorders and find out why an almost-new plane crashed into the sea only 13 minutes after take off. Meanwhile, Indonesia’s transport minister removed the technical director of Lion Air and several technicians after the crash.

WASHINGTON, Oct 31 (Agencies): President Donald Trump said on Wednesday the US Constitution does not guarantee the right to citizenship to everyone born in the country and he would continue his push to end it, bringing his tough line on immigration to the fore as the country heads into next week’s congressional elections, Reuters reported.

“So-called Birthright Citizenship, which costs our Country billions of dollars and is very unfair to our citizens, will be ended one way or the other. It is not covered by the 14th Amendment because of the words ‘subject to the jurisdiction thereof.’ Many legal scholars agree.....” Trump wrote in a Twitter post.

The 14th Amendment, added after the U.S. Civil War, grants citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil and was intended to give constitutional protections to former slaves. But Republicans such as Trump say it creates an incentive for people to come to the country illegally to have children.

Islamabad, Oct 31 (IANS/Reuters): Radical Islamist groups protested on Wednesday in a number of Pakistan cities against the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the death sentence of Christian woman Asia Bibi, who had been convicted in 2010 of blasphemy.

The top court acquitted Asia Bibi, a mother of five from Pakistan’s Punjab province, earlier in the day and overturned her death sentence, Geo News reported. She was accused in 2009 of defiling the name of Prophet Muhammed during an argument with her neighbours. Bibi maintained her

Supporters of Islamist political party Tehreek-eLabaik (TLP), which was founded to support blasphemy laws, immediately condemned the ruling and blocked roads in major cities, pelting police with stones in the eastern city of Lahore.

The TLP’s leadership called for the death of Nasif, the chief justice, and two other judges on the panel.

“The patron in chief of TLP, Muhammad Afzal Qadri, has issued the edict that says the chief justice and all those who ordered the release of Asia deserve death,” said party spokesman Ejaz Ashrafi.

The party also called for the ouster of the government of new Prime Minister Imran Khan. The TLP was founded out of a movement supporting a bodyguard who assassinated Lahore provincial governor Salman Taseer for advocating for Bibi in 2011. Federal minister for minorities Shahbaz Bhatti was also killed after calling for her release.

United Nations Resident Coordinator Hanaa Singer met Sirisena days after UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed “great concern” over the deepening political crisis and called on the country’s government to respect democratic values and constitutional provisions and process.

The President’s office said that during the meeting, Sirisena assured Singer that the government has taken all the steps in accordance with the Constitution, the Colombo Gazette reported.

Sirisena said that the country is executing its functions within a democratic framework and appreciated the assistance given by the UN. Expressing her views, Singer said that the UN is ready to provide every possible assistance to Sri Lanka in the future as well.

ICC suspends Zoysa on match-fixing charges

New Delhi, Oct 31 (Agencies): The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Wednesday suspended Sri Lanka’s bowling coach Nuwan Zoysa after accusing him of match-fixing and other “corrupt conduct” in the sport, AFP reported. “Mr Zoysa has 14 days from 1 November 2018 to respond to the charges,” the ICC said in a brief statement.

Zoysa is charged, among other things, for “being party to an effort to fix or contrive or to otherwise influence improperly the result, progress, conduct or other aspect of an International match”, the statement said. It gave no further details.

Forty-year-old Zoysa is the second Sri Lankan to be charged by the ICC’s anti-corruption unit (ACU).

Earlier this month, dashing former batsman, exchief selector and former captain Sanath Jayasuriya was charged for failing to cooperate with a matchfixing probe and concealing information.

Jayasuriya, 49, was reportedly asked to cooperate with an inquiry from ACU chief Alex Marshall who visited Sri Lanka last month.

The ACU is acting further on their previous investigation which in January 2016 saw Galle

Real Kashmir stun I-League holders Minerva Punjab Panchukula, Oct 31 (PTI): Real Kashmir FC Wednesday stunned defending champions Minerva Punjab FC in a sensational start to their maiden I-League campaign, taking the first step towards realising the beginners’ dream of making the ‘Paradise on Earth’ a “paradise for football”.

The first team from the Valley to play in the country’s top-flight, Real Kashmir FC scored the game’s only goal through Gnohere krizo’s 73rd minute strike, giving the rival goalkeeper no chance to stop the ball that was travelling in great speed. While the result left coach David Robertson and his players ecstatic, the heads totting the stands at the Tau Devi Lal Stadium also applauded the visiting team, moments after it humbled the fancied opponents in their own den.

The emergence of Real Kashmir and their elevation to the I-League is the most fascinating story of Indian football in recent times.

Formed three years ago, Real Kashmir last season won the second division league to get promoted into the top flight.

stadium curator Jayananda Warnaweera banned for three years after he failed to cooperate with the ACU. ACU head Marshall last month said: “There is currently an ICC (ACU) investigation under way in Sri Lanka. Naturally as part of this we are talking to a number of people.”

It was not immediately clear if the charges against Zoysa and Jayasuriya relate to the same case or if they are being investigated separately.

Sri Lanka has recently sought help from neighbouring India to drafting laws to combat cheating

in the game.

Colombo has also promised to establish a special police unit to investigate match-fixing after a documentary aired in May showed Galle groundsman Tharanga Indika and professional cricketer Tharindu Mendis allegedly talking about doctoring the pitch for the Test against England starting November 6.

Indika and Mendis have been suspended by Sri Lanka Cricket pending an ICC investigation. A third man, provincial coach Jeevantha Kulatunga, was also suspended.

India aim to extend dominance over Windies T h i r u v anan thapuram, Oct 31 (IANS): Brimming with confidence after the massive 224-run win in the penultimate game, India will be eyeing to register their eighth straight series win over the West Indies when they face off in the fifth and final contest of the rubber at the Greenfield international stadium here on Thursday.

After the resounding victory in the fourth Oneday International (ODI) at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, the Virat Kohliled hosts lead the series 2-1, with the second match being tied. The last time the Carribean side won a bilateral series against India was way back in 2006.

With the northeastern monsoon in full cry, the match could well end up shortened as the the weatherman has predicted a brief thunderstorm in the afternoon and late evening.

This is only the second international cricket match to be staged at the Greenfield Stadium. The first was on November 7 last year when the hosts defeated New Zealand in a T20 match that was shortened to inclement weather and saw just saw an eight over per side match. India won by six runs. The organisers, the Kerala Cricket Association, are in an upbeat mood as the ground boasts of one of the best drainage systems in the business and even if the rain comes

crashing down, they will be able to get it back into shape quickly once the rain stops. Going into the final ODI, with opener Rohit Sharma, Ambati Rayudu and skipper Kohli in top form, India will like to keep the momentum into the series decider. Rayudu also took a step ahead in cementing his place at No. 4 slot with a fine century in the previous game.

Rohit also smashed an impressive 162 off 137 balls in the fourth ODI while the skipper has three tons from four games. The Indian batting will once again mostly rely on the shoulders of these two on Thursday.

Despite impressive performances by the top order, the cause of concern for the team management will be the flop show of stumper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

The former skipper has failed to live up to the expectations, which also resulted in his exclusion from the Twenty20 international (T20I) series against the Windies and Australia.

It will be the litmus test for Dhoni, who has been under fire for his continous poor performances.

In the bowling department, chinaman Kuldeep Yadav has been impressive in this series so far after scalping eight wickets from three games and Kohli will like him to replicate his past, specially in the middle overs.

Pacer Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are expected to dismantle the Windies top order in the initial overs, while Khaleel Ahmad, who was a surprise package in Mumbai with figures of 3/13, could be a crucial support for his seniors.

Barcelona, Oct 31 (IANS): Atletico Madrid eked out a 1-0 win against fourth-division club Sant Andreu in the first leg of a Copa del Rey round of 32 contest.

The plucky hosts came close to equalizing in the final minutes of the match in front of 6,400 spectators at the Narcis Sala in Barcelona on Tuesday night.

Gelson Martins tested Sant Andreu goalkeeper Jose Segovia in the 7th

minute and that was just a taste of the pressure Atleti would bring to bear, reports Efe news.

The relentless attacks bore fruit in the 33rd minute, as Vitolo threaded the ball to Martins and the Portuguese international converted to make it 1-0 for the visitors.

An attempt by Martins to increase the advantage early in the second half ended up in the side of the net. The Colchoneros lost

pace as the minutes passed and Sant Andreu coach Mikel Azparren made a key substitution in the 66th minute, deploying forward Elhadji Baldeh, who put his 1.94m (6ft 3in) frame to good use in front of the opponents’ goal.

With eight minutes left in regulation, Elhadji forced a save from Atleti keeper Antonio Adan and the ensuing corner resulted in a shot that hit the crossbar.

MRVC reaches 87% coverage on Day 28 DIMAPUR, OCT 31 (NPN): Ongoing Measles Rubella Vaccination Campaign (MRVC) in Nagaland has reached a total coverage of 3,90,103 children on the 28th Day of the campaign as per reports received from the districts on October 30, 2018.

As the campaign slowly draws to an end and having completed 3,126 school and 1,913 outreach sessions all over the state, the department of health and family welfare (H&FW) Wednesday said that sweeping/ mop-up activities were being actively conducted in all the districts.

The depar tment has once again appealed to all parents not to consider vaccination as an individual choice but rather a requirement for the complete elimination of measles virus from the population. It stated that importance of MR vaccination certificate was increasingly becoming a necessity during school admissions to good schools since no school wants to risk being the source of an outbreak and wishes for students to lead a healthy and

productive life.

MRVC has been implemented by the Government of India with the objective to completely eradicate measles and control rubella disease, for which 100% coverage of the target children (9 months upto 15 years) in all 11 districts need to be completed, the department stated. The department informed that District Hospitals, CHC, PHC and Sub-Centres in all the districts are being kept open so everyone can visit the health facility for MR vaccination at their own convenient time if there are some children who missed vaccination at school and outreach sessions.

Meanwhile, the department has expressed gratitude to the administration, education, social welfare and police departments for their relentless support. It also acknowledged all ward/ colony/village chairman, ASHA, AWW and all health workers who have been persistently mobilizing and assisting in conducting sessions for the success of the campaign.

ZSUN ultimatum on PMGSY road contractors DIMAPUR, OCT 31 (NPN): Zeme Students’ Union, Nagaland (ZSUN) has served an ultimatum on various PMGSY road contractors undertaking road project works under Peren district to resume construction and complete the work as per the undertaking dated August 30, 2018. The road projects include Jalukie Ahthibung road (L-021) to Nkio ‘B’, Jalukie-Khelma road (L-021) to New Nkio, JA Road Khelma to Ikiesingram, Lalong to Nzauna, and Ngam to Lalong.

In a press release, ZSU president, Aakam Pame, and secretary, Deichungbe, said the union has been reminding the responsible contractors to expedite work. However, ZSU expressed dismay that the lackadaisical attitude of the contractors toward the two areas (Nsong/Kebai-Khelma) has led to work delay for many years.

On inspection of the work site, the union said it found physical progress “unsatisfactory”. In this regard, ZSUN has appealed to all the responsible individuals, organizations and groups to cooperate and support so immediate works resume at the earliest. The union affirmed that it was committed to safeguard and ensure smooth and speedy work progress. It cautioned that any party/individual trying to sabotage or disturb the developmental activities would be consider as anti-social elements.

The contractor approached the district court, Zunheboto for redressal of his grievances. In a relief to the contractor, the court ordered the case in his favour directing the state government and its machineries to pay outstanding bill of Rs. 3,97,98,000 with interest @7% plus cost of the suit to the contractor vide its Judgment & Order dated February 14, 2018.

However, the state government and its machineries failed to pay the outstanding bill.

Further, the District Court Zunheboto issued a precept to the Dimapur District Court for attachment and sale of the land and office building of the EE PWD (R&B) Dimapur since the sale of the property of EE PWD (R&B) Zunheboto would not satisfy the entire decretal amount ie.

Neingulo remarked that despite the many challenges “our society” was facing today due to some internal contradictions, which continued to mar Naga society, “our ancestors who laid the foundation of our nationhood must be looking at today’s gathering with affection as we equally embrace their blessings upon us.”

He said “Today, as we all join our hearts and souls to re-affirm the pledge of our ancestors, we re-iterate that the land of Nagas straddles across the political boundaries, which the British drew to demarcate territories of India and Burma (Myanmar) without consulting the Nagas.

This imaginary line runs through the middle of villages and even houses.”

According to him, the political boundaries further divided Naga areas into the present States of Nagaland, Assam, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh, besides the erstwhile Sagaing Division and the recently-formed SelfAdministered Zone in Burma that left out Khamti, Homalin, Tamu, etc, and also many Nagas living in

The former SAFHR secretary general urged the Naga people to introduce a system whereby all the tribes with their diversity and culture could live together under one political system as one people, having total control over their lives, resources, legal system, etc.

He also emphasised Nagas having their own constitution, while still being part of the Indian constitution to protect their history and culture, control over resources, their languages, right to retain their identity, maintain diversity, etc.

Speaking on the occasion, organising committee convener Neingulo Krome said the rally was being held to commemorate 100 years of Naga Club, honour its pioneers and celebrate the legacy.

PM inaugurates ‘Statue of Unity’ Rally slams illegal taxations and govt apathy

Kevadiya (Guj), Oct 31 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday inaugurated an imposing 182-metre statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel here and said the world’s tallest monument will serve as a reminder about his courage to thwart conspiracy to disintegrate India.

He used the occasion to slam those criticising the decision to build the monument, questioning whether any crime had been committed by constructing such memorials for national heroes like Patel.

The giant monument, named as the ‘Statue of Unity’ and built on an islet Sadhu Bet near Sardar Sarovar Dam in Gujarat’s Narmada district, is twice the height of the Statue of Liberty in the US and taller than the 153-metre Spring Temple Buddha in China.

The monument was conceptualised by Modi during his tenure as Gujarat Chief Minister and he had laid the foundation stone for it in 2013. Patel, the first Home Minister of Independent India, is credited with merging 550 princely states into the Union of India.

He had used force to annex princely states of Junagadh ruled by Nawab and Hyderabad ruled by nizam, both of whom had wished not to merge their states with the

India union.

Wednesday’s ceremony, which coincided with the 143rd birth anniversary of Patel, also known as the ‘Iron man of India, was attended by Gujarat Governor O P Kohli, Chief Minister Vijay Rupani and BJP chief Amit Shah besides a number of other leaders hailing from Gujarat. The function was marked by a flypast by Air Force planes and helicopters and a cultural show.

Built at a cost of Rs 2,989 crore, the height of the statue is 182 metres, including the base of 25 metres.

“The statue will remind those who question India’s existence, that this nation was, is and will remain eternal,” Modi said.

The statue is conceived as a naturalistic depiction of Sardar Patel in characteristic garb in a walking pose and it rises out of a star-shaped, geometric base that covers the entire Sadhu Hill.

“This (statue) is a s o u r c e o f u n i t y. . . w i t h this sentiment we should march...and march with a dream to make the country ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’ (One India, Superior India),” he added.

Modi said his government has taken up the cause of bringing to life the history and contributions of great personalities. “During the last four years, our government has set up many memorials of our national heroes, including this sky-

high statue of Sardar Patel, his museum in Delhi, Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar’s Panch Tirth and a memorial dedicated to son of Gujarat’s soil, Shyamji Krishna Varma,” he said.

He then listed various other upcoming memorials and initiatives, such as Chhatrapati Shivaji’s statue in Mumbai and a museum dedicated to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.

He then posed a question to the audience, “You tell me, is it a crime to remember our national heroes?” To this, the audience replied in the negative.

Congress president Rahul Gandhi attacked Modi over the event. “Ironic that a statue of Sardar Patel is being inaugurated, but every institution he helped build is being smashed. The systematic destruction of India’s institutions is nothing short of treason,” he tweeted, shortly after the inauguration.

The statue has been built using over 70,000 tonnes of cement, 18,500 tonnes of reinforcement steel, 6,000 tonnes of structural steel and 1,700 metric tonnes of bronze, which was used for the outer cladding of the structure. A viewing gallery has been created at a height of 135 metres inside the statue to enable tourists to have a view of the dam and nearby mountain ranges.

(From p-1) by public against such illegal collections and Naga National workers themselves stop and prevent such collections. Member of Fact Finding Committee of the PAC and prominent citizen, Hekhevi Achumi in his speech also minced no words while attacking NPGs, unions/organisations, government and law enforcement agencies.

Hekhevi maintained that illegal tax collections and syndication of all business and trade has become a thriving multi-billion industry involving transactions of Rs.400 crore to Rs.500 crore annually. He hit out at NPGs describing them as those who only think of making money without sleeping for nights.

Hekhevi also gave a break up of how much taxes were imposed for goods trucks entering Dimapur with taxes depending on size of the truck, godown tax, agency tax and shop tax totalling Rs.26,000 to Rs.32,000 per truck. He also alleged that police personnel at check gates collected Rs.600 per truck and Rs.450 for medium sized truck.

Hekhevi also blamed syndicate system for shooting up prices of commodities. He cited that while a kilo of potato in Dimapur cost Rs.30, at nearby Bokajan market it costs only Rs.16.

He disclosed that the most thriving business of all in Dimapur is the flea market (second hand clothes) where the syndicate involved earns around Rs.72 lakh a year. He said ‘Pan patta syndicate’ comprising of six dealers/ groups collect a total of Rs.1500 per basket of pan patta and a total of Rs.54 lakh in a year. He also disclosed that the veterinary syndicate of six agencies earn around Rs.62 lakh annually while the geology & mining department levies Rs.350 on every truck carrying minerals that enter Nagaland besides

Rs.2800 per truck as mineral tax.

Advisor of Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC) advocate Pius Lotha spoke of how illegal activities have become a booming business in Dimapur and affecting all other parts of Nagaland with regard to prices of commodities.

Pius said despite so many mounting evidences of rampant illegal taxation and syndication, the state government acted as if it was also hand-in-glove in these rackets.

He said the primary response is that the state government legislate a law such as Maharashtra Control of Crime Act (MCOCA) enacted in 1999 to combat such organised crimes and terrorism. Pius said without such an act, those arrested would not be effectively prosecuted but be out on bail every time. He reminded that after the second and the largest anti-illegal collection rally organised by ACAUT in August 2017 in Dimapur, the state government had constituted a High Power Committee to go into the entire issue and recommend steps. The HPC had submitted its recommendation but till date, the state government has neither disclosed the recommendations nor taken any steps in implementing them.

Representative of Tenyemi people and advisor APO, Savi Liegise recalled the protests held against illegal taxations during 2013 and that not much has changed after that.

He encouraged public not to be afraid of criticizing the government and also appealed to NPGs not to use guns for extracting money and asked certain sections of business community not to exploit citizens.

Naga Women Hoho Dimapur (NWHD) president Sungsabeni Jungio reminded that the rally was not direct at any particular group, organi-

sation or individual but at those who want to live luxurious life on the sweat of others.

She also lamented on how the unabated taxes have affected normal life and the non-existence of price control mechanism where providing even basic nutritious food for children has become a big luxury. Jungio demanded that strict action be taken against business firms involved in such activities by cancelling their trade licenses.

Speaking on behalf of non-Naga communities of Dimapur, president of Bengali Samaj K.K. Pal regretted the poor turnout of non-Nagas at the rally despite the fact that most of those involved in business came from non-Naga community. He urged nonNaga citizens of Dimapur which he described as “mini India” to be part of the diversity.

ENPO leader W. Lemba Chang in his speech described mushrooming of illegal collections as a “cottage industry” which he opined, was because of failure of the system. Lemba said presently, the state was dominated by economic criminals and offenders so much so that there is no difference between legal and illegal taxation.

Instead of creating an environment conducive to commerce and trade, he said people have no choice but deal with illegal collections.

NCD vice president K. Ghokheto Chophy while delivering the vote of thanks, slammed the non-Naga business community for not showing up at the rally to express solidarity with citizens against illegal collections which the business community bear the brunt. A total of 19 Dimapurbased organisations took part and included-NWHD, DCCI, DUCCF, GBs Union (Sadar), BAN, educational institutions, non-Naga businessmen and well wishers.

New Delhi, Oct 31 (PTI): Several Union ministers participated in the ‘Run for Unity’ across the country Wednesday to mark the 143rd birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled the statue of the country’s first Home Minister in Gujarat.

At a special function held in the national capital, President Ram Nath Kovind and others paid floral tributes at Patel’s statue on his birth anniversary, which is observed as ‘Rashtriya Ekta Divas’.

The ruling BJP has described Patel as the man who thwarted efforts to disintegrate India.

Had Sardar Patel not united the country, we would need visas to see lions or pay homage at Somnath or view the Charminar in Hyderabad, the prime minister said while unveiling Patel’s statue, the tallest in the world at 182 metres, in Kevadiya.

Several party leaders, including Modi, have accused the Congress of “ignoring” the efforts of Patel, B R Ambedkar and Subhash Chandra Bose in the freedom struggle and creation of post-independence India.

The Congress, in turn, has accused the BJP of appropriating its leaders like Patel for political interests.

Even before the BJP came to power in 2014, it had organised a similar event in December 2013 to mark the death anniversary of Patel.

On this day in 2014, Modi as Prime Minister, had presided over the ‘Run for Unity’ event at Rajpath.

Istanbul prosecutor says Khashoggi was strangled

London/Paris, Oct 31 (Agencies): Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was strangled as soon as he entered Turkey’s consulate before his body was dismembered and disposed of, a Turkish prosecutor has said, The Independent reported.

Istanbul’s chief prosecutor, Irfan Fidan, also said the killing of the dissident writer was planned and that he had asked Saudi prosecutor Saud Al Mojeb to reveal the location of the body.

It comes after Mr Firdan carried out inspections at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, where Mr Khashoggi was killed earlier this month, and held meetings with Turkey’s public prosecutor and Turkish intelligence officials.

His statement said discussions with Mr al-Mojeb had yielded no “concrete results” despite “goodwilled efforts” by Turkey to uncover the truth.

Private DHA news agency said Mr al-Mojeb paid a midnight visit to the Turkish intelligence agency’s Istanbul headquarters, although officials were not immediately available to comment.

Turkey is seeking the extradition of 18 Saudi suspects detained in Saudi Arabia over Mr Khashoggi’s killing on October 2.

It has also been pressing Saudi Arabia for information concerning the journalist’s remains, which

Jamal Khashoggi have still not been found, as well as details on who ordered the journalist’s slaying.

Saudi officials have said the kingdom will try the 18 and bring them to justice after the investigation is complete.

France casts doubt on Saudi Khashoggi probe France’s foreign minister cast doubt on Saudi Arabia’s investigation into the death of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi on Wednesday, saying “not enough” was being done to find those responsible for his murder, AFP reported.

The comments appear to signal France upping the pressure on Saudi authorities, having so far declined to openly criticise the Riyadh regime over a death that has badly strained relations between the Middle East kingdom and the West.

“This crime has to be punished and the perpetrators identified. The truth needs to come out. And today, even though Saudi authorities have admitted that there was a murder, it’s not enough. The truth has not been revealed,”

Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told RTL. “The investigations need to continue. We will continue to be demanding.”

He added that “depending on the results that will be announced (of the Turkish and Saudi investigations), we will implement the necessary sanctions against those guilty”.

“We don’t rule out anything on the sanctions, in coordination with our European partners,” he said.

Saudi Arabia’s chief public prosecutor is in Istanbul - where Khashoggi was killed on October 2 after entering the Saudi consulate - to meet with Turkish authorities as part of his country’s investigation.

The case has brought near unprecedented international scrutiny of Saudi Arabia and its powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, whom Khashoggi had criticised.

But Turkish officials have told local media that the Saudi prosecutor has refused to share information and appears “primarily interested in finding out what evidence the Turkish authorities had against the perpetrators”.

France, like fellow European nation Britain, has so far condemned the death of Khashoggi but has trod carefully, wary of upsetting an ally in the Middle East that is an important economic and security partner.

US calls for Yemen ceasefire ‘within 30 days’

US slams Pakistan for taking off Saeed’s outfits from terror list

25 killed in Afghan military helicopter crash

Washington, Oct 31 (IANS): US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have called on all parties in the Yemen civil war to agree to a truce “in the next 30 days” amid criticism of Washington’s support for the Saudi-led coalition in the conflict.

“Thirty days from now we want to see everybody around a peace table based on a ceasefire, based on a pullback from the border and then based on ceasing dropping of bombs that will permit the (UN) special envoy Martin Griffiths to get them together in Sweden and end this war,” Mattis said at an event at the US Institute of Peace here on Tuesday.

A similar call was later made by Pompeo, who said: “The US calls on all parties to support Griffiths in finding a peaceful solution to the conflict in Yemen.”

Mattis and Pompeo both insisted that the USbacked Saudi-led coalition and the Iranian-aligned Houthis stop their respective aerial and missile attacks, CNN reported.

The Trump administration has been criticized by activists and some members of the Congress for its support for the Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthis in Yemen. UN human rights experts say coalition forces may have committed war crimes in Yemen and humanitarian organisations say their partial blockade of the country had helped push 14 million people to the brink of famine.

development will jeopardise Pakistan’s ability to meet its commitments under UN Security Council Resolution 1267 to freeze and prevent the raising and moving of funds belonging to or associated with UNdesignated terrorist groups,” the spokesperson said.

The development underscores the importance of Pakistan “urgently enacting legislation that formally proscribes” both JuD and FIF, the spokesperson said.

India has been pushing Pakistan to bring to justice the planners of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.

Hafiz Saeed is the co-founder of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, which was responsible for the attacks in which 166 people were killed.

Kabul, Oct 31 (IANS): At least 25 people, including senior government and Army officials, were killed when a military helicopter crashed due to bad weather in the region bordering Afghanistan’s Farah and Herat provinces on Wednesday, authorities said.

“The 25 people on board were mar tyred.

Among them were Farah provincial council chief Farid Bakhtawar; Jamila Amini, the deputy chief of the Farah Provincial Council, and De puty Commander of the 207 Zafar Corps Niamatullah Khalil,” Farah Governor’s spokesperson Nasir Mehri told Efe news.

Imran Khan-led Pak government has not included Hafiz Saeed’s terror outfits in its latest ‘watch list’.

WASHINGTON, Oct 31 (PTI): The United States said on Tuesday that the recent removal of the ban on terrorist Hafiz Saeed-led Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) and Falah-i-Insaniyat Foundation (FIF) runs counter to Pakistan’s commitment to the Financial Action Task Force or FATF, and would jeopardise the country’s ability to meet its commitments to fight terrorism under the UN Security Council resolution.

He said: “I think that ownership is not given, it’s taken.� Madhvani spoke about his struggle after his first film, saying: “I think you have to fight, scream and take it (ownership) because that’s the only way they (high budget actors) will allow you to have ownership. You have to throw tantrums as ownership is not easy.

When you work with smaller budgets, it’s easier to get ownership, the bigger the budgets, the more difficult it gets to have ownership.

The Lady of the Event Professor Theyiesinuo said it was really encouraging to choose the theme "Evolve" this year, to champion our traditional weaves and to give designers who work with our traditional textiles, a forum to display their creation.

She stressed on two things, the idea that fashion is something new that must move away from the old and which was something that challenges the work of the designers. She said everyone who attended the event had taken their time out because they deeply cared about style

and fashion. She added that style and fashion was connected to identity, so if one thinks fashion was something that moves away from the old, we lose a great deal, she said. She went on to propose that fashion could be something that connects the new with the old tradition.

On the second point, she said celebrating contemporary young and upcoming designers but it was also possible for us to recognise the original designers, a complete network at well developed system of fashion designing already in our state and that they were the 'weavers'. So was it possible for us to think fashion as something that can use this traditional, already very well established which could be a dying, threatened form of fashion designing. She concluded by saying is it possible for us to use that and connect it to our idea and use it as fashion that is contemporary.

And if we can unite these things, it is possible for us to remain Naga and be fashionable, she added.

The woman also provided witnesses who she said she told of the assaults at the time. However, according to the District Attorney’s office, those witnesses did not corroborate the woman’s account. Investigators were not able to find any other corroboration for her claims.

The case was rejected due to insufficient evidence, and because it falls well outside the statute of limitations, variety.com reported.

Bengaluru FC beat ATK 2-1 in ISL

Kolkata , O ct 3 1 (IANS): Bengalur u FC came from behind to beat ATK 2-1 and continue their unbeaten start to the Indian Super League (ISL) season at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan here on Wednesday.

A first-ever ISL goal for 18-year-old Komal Thatal (15th) had put ATK ahead but strikes either side of the half-time break from Miku (45+3’) and Erik Paartalu (47th) ensured Carles Cuadrat’s men held on to the third spot on the table. ATK, meanwhile, slumped to their third loss of the season and find themselves placed fifth

with seven points from six matches. Both teams took time to get off the blocks before Thatal, who was part of India’s U-17 World Cup team, underlined why he is rated so highly.

Everton Santos was the architect with a sumptuous through-ball from midfield which Thatal got to before holding off Nishu Kumar and sending an arrowing finish into the bottom corner past goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu.

After taking the lead, ATK sat deep and defended resolutely as Bengaluru strived for the equaliser.

Miku should have restored

parity five minutes later when Nishu picked him out with a cross from the left. However, the Venezuelan’s thumping header was straight at Arindam Bhattacharya who parried it instinctively. Steve Coppell’s side looked well organised in defence following that and were looking to counterattack while Bengaluru saw most of their attacks break down in the final third.

However, ATK were dealt a blow when striker Kalu Uche was forced to go off after picking up a groin injury. At the stroke of halftime, Gerson Vieira committed a foul on Miku right

Miku rolled the freekick to Dimas Delgado before finding the top corner of Bhattacharya’s near post with a brilliant finish to pull

the Blues level. Bengaluru continued their momentum into the second half and took the lead within two minutes. Delgado’s free kick into the box was headed out

by Ricky Lallawmawma.

But it fell to Paartalu whose venomous half-volley could not be kept out by Bhattacharya.

Bengaluru kept possession and frustrated the home team who lacked a focal point in attack. However, Manuel Lanzarote did fashion a couple of opportunities with his guile and passing ability but to no avail.

In the final 10 minutes, ATK ramped up the pressure on Bengaluru and almost had an equaliser when Gerson Vieira hit the base of the post with a header from a corner kick. That was the closest the two-time champions came to another goal as the Blues saw off the late surge with relative ease.

Djokovic wins Paris opener; Federer confirms return Paris, Oct 31 (Agencies): Novak Djokovic stepped up his pursuit of the world number one ranking with a 7-5, 6-1 win over Joao Sousa at the Paris Masters on Tuesday, while Roger Federer confirmed he will play at the event for the first time since 2015. Djokovic can regain top spot from Rafael Nadal this week if he betters the Spaniard’s performance in the French capital, where the Serb is a four-time winner of the indoor tournament. Djokovic had never dropped a set in five previous meetings with Portugal’s Sousa, but he surrendered a 4-1 lead in the opener and appeared under the weather before regrouping to break Sousa at 6-5.

The 14-time Grand Slam champion then reeled off five games in a row to end Sousa’s resistance and book a meeting with Damir Dzumhur of Bosnia in the last 16.

So yeah, I’ll give it a go tomorrow. I’m excited,” he added, after winning the Swiss indoor championships in Basel on Sunday.

Dzumhur defeated rising Greek star and 14th seed Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-3, 6-3. Federer will play Canada’s Milos Raonic on Wednesday after receiving a bye in the first round.

Federer’s only tournament victory in Bercy came in 2011. On his last appearance in 2015 he was knocked out by American John Isner in the round of 16.

The Swiss star missed the event the past two years due to a combination of injury and selective scheduling. He has also sat out the

last three French Opens.

It is the first nonGrand Slam event to feature Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic since last year’s Indian Wells Masters.

“I feel like it’s better for me to play matches rather than practice, and I think that’s it. As long as I don’t feel like I’m taking a chance on my health prior to London (the ATP Tour Finals), that’s the key as well,” Federer said.

“I’m happy to play tomorrow. I feel like I recovered well from last week.

Raonic fired 23 aces as he outlasted France’s JoWilfried Tsonga 6-7 (4/7), 7-6 (7/5), 7-6 (7/5) in his opening match.

Federer also revealed he had received an invite to take part in an exhibition featuring Nadal and Djokovic in Saudi Arabia in December, but the 37year-old said he turned down the approach.

“I didn’t want to play there at that time. So, for me, it was a very quick decision,” said Federer.

Nadal and Djokovic are scheduled to meet in Jeddah on December 22, but they have faced growing calls to withdraw following the murder of a Saudi journalist in the country’s consulate in Istanbul.

BERLIN, Oct 31 (Agencies): Champions Bayern Munich were made to work hard before edging amateurs SV Roedinghausen 2-1 on Tuesday to advance to the German Cup third round, Channel News Asia reported.

Missing half a dozen players through illness or injury, Bayern were far from their best against their fourth-division opponents on a rainy and cold evening in east Westphalia and had to endure a nervous finale before booking their spot in the next round. Quick goals from Sandro Wagner in the

eighth minute and Thomas Mueller, who scored with a penalty five minutes later, put the visitors in the driving seat. Bayern, second in the Bundesliga, were awarded a second spot kick in the 22nd minute but Renato Sanches’ effort bounced off the crossbar. The hosts cut the deficit four minutes after the restart with Linus Meyer beating Rafinha to connect with a cross as the home crowd erupted in wild celebrations.

Franck Ribery had a rare chance in the second half but his low drive was palmed wide by keeper

Niclas Heimann as Bayern took their foot completely off the gas and looked short of ideas and Roedinghausen pressed for an equaliser.

The Bavarians, who have now won four matches in all competitions after a four-game winless run, may have to make do without Thiago Alcantara in the coming matches after the Spaniard suffered a leg injury.

Fellow Bundesliga clubs Hertha Berlin and VfL Wolfsburg also advanced by beating Darmstadt 98 and Hanover 96 2-0 respectively.
