GST rollback due to Guj polls: Chidambaram New Delhi, Nov 11 (IANS/AGENCIES): Former Finance Minister and Congress leader P. Chidambaram on Saturday took a dig at the government over the GST rollback in tax slabs, saying it took four months for commonsense to “germinate, flower and ripen into a fruit”.

“Ministry of Finance must be complimented for ‘improving’ the macroeconomic situation in four months and 10 days!” Chidambaram said in a tweet.

“Four months and 10 days is the time taken for commonsense to germinate, flower and ripen into a fruit,” the Congress leader said in another tweet. The former Finance Minister’s remarks came a day after the GST Council removed 178 items from the highest 28% category.

Crediting his party the Congress for pushing for GST Rates cut, P Chidambaram said “Congress is vindicated. I am vindicated.

The merit of capping GST at 18% is now recognised.”

KVYO irked by shifting of Hornbill rock festival venue

D I M A P U R , N OV 1 1 (NPN): Shocked by the state government’s purported decision to shift the “Hornbill Rock Festival” to Dimapur citing security reasons, Kohima Village Youth Organization (KVYO) on Saturday threatened to ban all Hornbill functions in Kohima.

In a press note, KVYO president, Medozhatuo Rutsa, and general secretary, Ruokuoneitso Kire, warned that in the event the government shifted the venue from Kohima city, it would be compelled to ban all night activities in Kohima city, during the Hornbill festival.

While reminding that the Hornbill events were confined only in Kohima without any security threat for years, KVYO, in this regard, sought to know from the government at which venue were there security lapses. Any decision to shift the event would deeply hurt the denizens of Kohima city, it said, adding “Kohima city belong to the Naga people, though Kohima village has graciously donated its land for the state capital city.”

Clarifying that it was not opposed to spreading Hornbill festival to other districts, KVYO, however, said that government citing security reasons was “unreasonable and unbecoming”.

This is it!

“In Nagaland the smog goes from down to up.

In Delhi the smog comes down from up.”

P. Chidambaram (File)

“Thank You Gujarat” after Finance Minister Arun Jaitley announced a big overhaul of new national tax GST on Friday. Hinting that the BJP government has timed the GST rate review with an eye on next month’s crucial elections in Gujarat where small traders are upset over the new tax, Chidambaram said “...Your (Gujarat) elections did what Parliament and common sense could not do.”

After a day-long GST council meeting with state finance minister in Guwahati, Jaitley said that only 50 items will remain in the highest tax slab of 28 %, with 178 others moved to

the 18% bracket from November 15.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi called the decisions “people-friendly and people-centric”.

Crediting his party the Congress for pushing for GST Rate cut, Chidambaram said “Congress is vindicated. I am vindicated. The merit of capping GST at 18% is now recognised.”

Taking a jibe at the Modi government, Chidambaram said in a tweet the government has “learned its lesson” albeit late. “4 months and 10 days is the time taken for commonsense to germinate, flower and ripen into a fruit.”

Earlier on July 6, Chidambaram maintained that the Modi government’s GST was “very, very imperfect” and cannot be called “one nation, one tax” as it has seven or more rates.

He had stated that the Congress will press for a reduction in tax rates and demand a cap of 18 %, besides seeking to bring petroleum, electricity and real estate under the new tax regime.

APO bans protests etc NNagaDAO slams Manipur CSOs to hold open during festive season P&C dept for not pol dialogue on framework revealing names

D I M A P U R , N OV 1 1 (NPN): Angami Public Organization (APO) on Saturday declared that it would “not allow any kind of protest, agitation or disruption under its jurisdiction during the festive season.”

In a press note, APO general secretary, Keviselie Lhousa and press secretary, Khriekhotuo Mor said that the declaration was made keeping in mind the interest and welfare of the society.

With the upcoming International Hornbill Festival-- to witness both international and domestic tourists, as well as Christmas and New Year festive season where people from all walks of life, particularly simple villagers would be doing their shopping, APO said “we must open our hearts and our hearths to our visitors without any disruptions.”

APO was confident that “this call would be heeded without any malice and extend cooperation for the benefit of all.”

Further, APO said it was seriously concerned by the massive environmental devastation that had been unleashed through earth cut-

ting and construction of the four-lane along the whole stretch of the highway and surrounding areas.

While appreciating the efforts of developing the highway, APO however expressed regret that the process of construction seemed to have been undertaken without considerations of environmental impact causing total chaos.

“The ramification of callous and horrendous nature of implementing the project is endangering the public,” APO stated.

Therefore, APO has warned the concerned firm and the state government agency that it would not tolerate any kind of compromise to public lives and properties.

In this regard, APO has asked the concerned authorities to immediately initiate effective mechanism to mitigate the dismal situation. APO cited the example of the ongoing highway construction carried out by a local contractor “competently and effectively between PHQ junction to New Police Reserve Phesama without disrupting public convenience.”

D I M A P U R , N OV 1 1 (NPN): Close on the heels of NPRAAF’s revelation that Finance department had on July 13, 2017 released Rs 8.98 crore to department of Planning & Coordination (P&C) for providing financial assistance to 41 unnamed beneficiaries, the Network of Nagaland Drug & AIDS Organisation (NNagaDAO) condemned the department of planning & coordination and its officials for failing to furnish those names.

In a press release, NNagaDAO president and Kripa Foundation director, Abou Mere, demanded that the responsible department officer be made accountable in the event of failure to furnish names. It said the government should take action against the responsible officer for negligence and financial resource loses meant for development.

Expressing concern over non-adherence to the finance ministry’s directive in implementing PFMS, the NNagaDAO has appealed to the government to direct all departments and implementing agencies to immediately use PFMS.

IMPHAL, NOV 11: Manipur civil society organizations (CSOs)-- All Manipur United Clubs’ Organization, United Committee Manipur and the Committee of Civil Societies Kangleipak on Saturday informed that the CSOs would be organizing a “one day open political dialogue on the possible outcome of framework agreement in the context of Manipur’ on November 18.

Talking to media persons, United Committee Manipur president Elangbam Johnson maintained that even though government of India had repeatedly assured that any solution to the Naga problem would not affect the territorial integrity of Manipur, there was the need for a united stand of the people of the state.

Johnson said people of Manipur had been demanding Centre to produce a white paper on the framework agreement signed on August 3, 2015 between the Government of India and NSCN (I-M).

While appreciating

the sincere efforts being made by both the parties towards establishing lasting peace in the region, Johnson however said that “any attempt to infringe upon the territory, history and administration of Manipur based on ethnicity would not be tolerated.”

He reminded that the Manipur CSOs had also made its stand clear in the six-point memorandum submitted to the interlocutor for Naga talks, R.N. Ravi.

In this regard, Johnson appealed to the people from all works of life to take part in the scheduled open dialogue to give their suggestions on what civil society organizations can do and what Manipur government ought to do.

The open dialogue has been initiated in the wake of several rumours doing the rounds that there was possibilities of signing the final agreement between government of India and NSCN (I-M) by December 2017 end or before the Nagaland general assembly elections scheduled to be held in February-March 2018.

CNTC demands review ACAUT warns govt against Solution before polls most appropriate: SI Jamir of all Aadhaar cards violation of High Court order Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, NOV 11 (NPN): While lauding Dimapur Commissionerate Special Branch (DCSB) for the recent arrest of five persons allegedly involved in generating fake Aadhaar cards in Dimapur Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC) has asked the state government to review Aadhaar. According to CNTC Media Cell, the government was questioned on whether it would legalise or nullify those thousands of fresh applicant Aadhaar cards made by using fictitious documents, which were issued mostly to many suspected illegal immigrants from the neighbouring state of Assam.

CNTC said the seized Aadhaar cards from those illegal racket centres be annulled and invalidated and also demanded that all other Aadhaar cards made before in the state be thoroughly examined. “We would want

to see the chief minister and the home minister do their part as the police have been doing their part with the best of their ability,” CNCT stated, adding that coordinated efforts should come from all sections as both of them had said accordingly.

Further, CNTC suggested that both the chief minister and the home minister should also coordinate with their counterparts of Assam otherwise lakhs of illegal immigrants would be legalised and claim to be a citizen of India from those fake Aadhaar cards made in Nagaland state.

Meanwhile, the CNTC has also appealed to all colony GBs, chairmen and respective councils to be vigilant and watchful of those activities in their localities and inform the police to take punitive action against those miscreants involved in such illegal activities.

DIMAPUR, NOV 11 (NPN): Taking serious note of the state cabinet’s proposal to purportedly regularise hundreds of backdoor appointees, during its meeting held at CM’s office on Saturday, ACAUT has warned the stated government that it will be charged of contempt of court if it chose to ignore the Gauhati High Court, Kohima bench stay order dated July 28, 2017.

ACAUT media cell pointed out that the matter was amongst the various agendas tabled before the cabinet meeting held on November 11.

Though the outcome of the meeting was yet to be known, ACAUT reminded that the court had already stayed the contentious OMs dated 4.8.2008 and 11.8.2016 allowing the government to regularise all backdoor appointments after three years of service.

ACAUT therefore demanded that the Cabinet issue an immediate clarification with regard to the status of sl. nos. 10, 16, 22, 23, 26, 27 and 39 of the Cabinet memo pertaining to regularisation of backdoor appointments.

“In case the Cabinet has already regularised the appointees, such will be nothing short of killing the future of thousands of Naga youths for which the chief minister and his cabinet colleagues will have to bear eventual consequences,” ACAUT stated.

It may be recalled that the writ petition was filed by the ACAUT and PSAN challenging backdoor appointments made after June 6, 2016.

1st fem-pop bypass surgery performed Staff Reporter

D I M A P U R , N OV 1 1 (NPN): For the first time in Nagaland, a team of doctors performed femoro-popliteal (fem-pop) bypass surgery at Faith hospital here on Friday. The surgery was performed by a super specialist surgeon MCh (vascular surgery), Dr. Saravanan Balachandran, and two surgeons of Faith hospital.

Speaking to media persons after performing the surgery, Dr. Wotsa said that surgical procedure lasted for five hours. He said the patient was a 24-year-old male who was suffering from Beurger’s disease (Thromboangitis obliterans).

Dr. Balachandran said the patient’s complaints started four years back when would feel pain while walking for a short distance.

Slowly, the distance he could walk was reduced and soon he gave up schooling be-

cause he could no longer walk, said the doctor.

It was learnt that when they met the patient for the first time, he was unable to even sleep because of the pain, a condition known as rest pain (pain in the legs even when a patient is at rest) with non-healing ulcers in the left leg. CT angiogram revealed blockage of artery in the thigh.

A “femoro-popliteal bypass” was planned and a great saphenous vein was harvested from the legs and

the blocked segment of artery was bypassed, thereby restoring blood flow to the lower legs. Giving a brief description of the disease, Dr. Balachandran said that peripheral vascular disease was a disease of blood vessels of the upper and lower limbs which reduced blood flow causing pain, non-healing ulcers and ultimately progressing to gangrene.

He further informed that without proper treatment, the patient would resort to amputation.

DIMAPUR, NOV 11 (NPN): Echoing the concern raised by the DAN delegation to the Central leaders recently “for solution before Christmas”, advisor Urban Development, S.I. Jamir on Saturday said that the current Nagaland Legislative Assembly was ready to be dissolved if solution was arrived at before Christmas or the 2018 Assembly polls.

Talking to Nagaland Post on the sidelines of the golden jubilee celebration of Government Middle School Zeliangrong village Dimapur, Jamir said it would not be appropriate for solution to be declared after elections are held due to various factors.

He reiterated that Centre should announce the final settlement before elections for a smooth transition. (Cont’d on p-8)

D I M A P U R , N OV 1 1 (NPN): North Eastern Diabetes Society (NEDSCON) began its 22nd annual conference here at Niathu Resort Dimapur on Saturday.

Addressing the conference as chief guest, president, Nagaland Medical Council (NMC), Dr. L.M Murry said that it was the anachronism of modern age that a civilisation which split the atom and discovered DNA still has to conquer diabetes.

There has been plethora of writings on both clinical and pharmacological research but its complete cure has alluded us, Dr. Murry added. He also informed that so far all that “we” have was merely to improve the quality of life for those af-

flicted by the disease.

He mentioned that in their days, they used to say that diabetes was a disease of the “Marwaris”, but now it has become common even for the Nagas. Dr. Murry also said that during his last 60 years of medical practice he hardly came across a dozen of Naga patients, whereas it was no longer the case today.

He also told the gathering that it was a shame that in a world of quick fix, instant and readymade, “we are still groping to find the remedy of diabetes”. “We should not be discouraged to struggle till we find the final solution. When the artificial human organs have become the order of the day, has any attempt been made for pancrease?” he said.

The inaugural pro-

gramme was chaired by Dr. Amenla Longkumer, while God’s blessing was invoked by deputy director, CIHSR, Dr. Viu Meru.

Welcome song was presented by CIHSR nursing students and welcome address was delivered by organizing chairperson, Dr. K. Hesso.

Keynote note address was given by NEDS president, professor. Dr Sanjeeb Kakati and NEDS secretary report was read out by NEDS secretary, Dr Debomallya Bhuyan. Vote of thanks was proposed by organizing secretary, Dr Ngopelo Keviechu. Day two (November 11) conference would witness insulin workshop.

NPCC ultimatum on govt to repair roads by Dec 1

DIMAPUR: Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) president, K. Therie on Saturday warned the state government that the party would be constrained to take up its own course of action if no action was taken by the government to repair the roads particularly Dimapur-Kohma before December 1, 2017.

Therie while appreciating the slow progress of four-lane work, at the same time reminded the state government not to remain a helpless spectator over the “intolerable” DimapurKohima road condition.

He said the road which normally took two hours in the past was now taking three-four hours.

Besides the commuters facing harrowing time, Therie said the road itself had become dangerous and slippery during rainy season and blinded with dust during dry season.

In addition, he said the air pollution created by the dusty roads has affected all roadside hoteliers and dwellers, making it unfit to live in those areas.

He further went on to state that the potholed roads have disabled small cars and in some cases few heavy vehicles had even slipped below the road.

Therie said it was the responsibility of contractors

Nagaland Post, Dimapur Sunday, November 12, 2017

to ensure service of roads and also to give pollution free road and mend the potholes created by them.

Asserting that BRO was equally responsible to ensure that normal activities were not disturbed, Therie called upon the authorities to immediately correct the “knee-deep potholes between Dimapur and Chumukedima and pollution created by the roads “A l l t h e a ge n c i e s should be geared up to restore the road. The entire stretch of road has hardly any proper drainage. Wherever drains are, they do not have water trapping channels and the drains are at a higher level than the road, causing water to flow in the middle of roads,” he added.

On dismantling of the bridge at Walford, Therie said it was foolish on the part of the government to do so without proper time frame work plan.

He also urged the government to immediately repair the Half Nagarajan bridge for light vehicles.

The administration should be responsible in their respective jurisdictions to ensure road safety, security and cleanliness, he added.

Therie also maintained that stone quarries should not be allowed to disturb the road.

HSPDP blames NEIGRIHMS director for de-recognition of PG courses

Correspondent

Shillong, Nov 11: Meghalaya’s opposition Hill State People’s Democratic Party (HSPDP) on Saturday blamed North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences (NEIGRIHMS), Director D.M. Thappa for refusing to acknowledge the deficiencies at the super specialty hospital forcing the Medical Council of India (MCI) to de-recognise post graduate courses.

NEIGRIHMS, the first postgraduate medical institute in India’s northeast has been designed in line with the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi and Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh.

“The de-recognition of Post graduate course is

ZNP demands Lal Thanhawla’s resignation Aizawl, Nov 11 (PTI): Opposition Zoram Nationalist Party (ZNP) Saturday demanded the resignation of Mizoram Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla for failing to give information about allegedly owning land in Kolkata and before the Election Commission orders him to resign.

ZNP Youth President Lalmuanpuia Punte claimed that Lal Thanhawla owned a plot of land in Kolkata where he is constructing a building.

Punte alleged that Lal Thanhawla failed to mention it in the affidavit while filing nominations for the 2013 state assembly polls.

“The chief minister, while filing nominations on November 8, 2013, failed to give information about owning a plot of land in Kolkata which contravened section 125 A of the Representation of the People Act, 1951,” he said.

Lal Thanhawla could be disqualified for concealing information and should resign before the EC disqualifies him, Punte claimed.

Gambling den busted in Gangtok Ga n g to k , N ov 1 1 (PTI): Police Saturday busted an illegal gambling den at Pani House locality here and arrested six persons, including the kingpin, a police officer said.

The police also seized chips (used in place of cash) worth Rs 52.58 lakh from the spot, Station House Officer (SHO) 2ND, Chagum Bhutia said.

Acting on a tip off, the police raided a rented house under Pani House locality and busted an illegal gambling den being run by one Topgay Bhutia, the SHO said.

Bhutia, who was owner of the gambling den, had taken the house on rent to run illegal business, she said, adding a poker table with 11 black chairs and large numbers of chips (chips used in place of cash), were recovered from the spot.

a matter of serious concern for the students and the parents of the students. We are deeply disappointed with the apathy of the institute in correcting these deficiencies and taking a definite course of action to comply with the minimum requirements of MCI,” HSPDP Supremo, Ardent Miller Basaiawmoit said.

In a letter to Union Health and Family Welfare Minister, Basaiawmoit accused Thappa of refusing to acknowledge the deficiencies and “sent the compliance report to the MCI with some alterations in the appointments of faculty at the institute’s clinical load and consequently, has put the institute at loggerheads with the MCI.” The HSPDP legislator said that the super specialty NEIGRIHMS was conceptualized and built up as post-

graduate/super specialty institute to generate man power and to meet healthcare requirements for the people of the Northeast.

He said that the post graduate courses started around five years back with full support of the Union ministry of health and family welfare and the state government.

Moreover, the HSPDP legislator informed Nadda that during inspection by the MCI, several departments have been recommended for de-recognition like anesthesia, radiology, general, surgery, medicine, etc.

“Upon inquir y, we have come to know that the institute has increased a number of post graduate seats in certain disciplines like anesthesia without the permission of the ministry of health and family welfare.

Furthermore, NEIGRIHMS

has not tried to fulfill the deficiencies pointed out by an expert committee for running the post-graduate courses,” he said in the petition.

Expressing disappointment with the apathy of the institute in correcting these deficiencies and taking a definite course of action to comply with the minimum requirements of MCI, Basaiawmoit urged Nadda to examine the issue and redeem the institute and restore its prestige.

The hospital was built at an estimated cost of Rs.420 crore and has a 30bed Intensive Care Unit and 35 specialty and super specialty departments.

Former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had declared NEIGRIHMS a national institute on January 22, 2000, when he visited Shillong.

IMPHAL, Nov 11: A sixmember Japanese team has been carrying out excavation work to recover the skeletal remains of Japanese soldiers who were killed during World War II in Manipur.

The team had so far recovered some skeletal remains from Bishnupur district and further search was on in Waithou hills in Thoubal district. However, their search was hindered after state forest authority led

by Thoubal district forest officer RK Amarjit inspected the site of the excavation on Saturday.

After inspecting the site, Amarjit expressed concern at the rampant destruc-

tion to forest and lake areas.

He also asked the team to stop excavation works as the site was a disputed area and a case was pending in the civil court.

However, state forest authority may face obstacle in intervening the excavation work for long as most of the lands in Waithou hill range were found encroach.

Pattas were found allotted to various individuals and the excavation was found being carrying out in the patta land.

Forest officer Amarjit said that a case was pending in the civil court on whether the land where excavation is being carried out currently falls within the reserved forest area or belongs to

Guwahati, Nov 11 (PTI): Police have arrested 21 people in connection with the cash-for-job scam in the Assam Public Service Commission (APSC) and are on the lookout for four more civil services officials allegedly involved in it, DGP Mukesh Sahay said Saturday.

Police had earlier identified 25 officers of the 2015 batch who had bribed APSC officials to get jobs through doctored answer scripts.

Of the 25 officials, 13 are in Assam Civil Services, seven are in Assam Police Services and the rest are in allied civil services.

“We have arrested 21 serving civil services officials so far. All of them have been sent to 14-day police remand. Further probe is individuals who produced on,” Sahay told PTI. “We are looking for the patta.

Ryan school murder: Accused recreates crime

Gurgaon, Nov 11 (HT): The father of the teenage suspect in the Ryan International murder case accused the Central Bureau of Investigation on Saturday of torturing his son for a fake confession, shortly after a special children’s court sent the boy to a remand home in Faridabad till November 22.

“My son was tortured, beaten, hung upside down and his head submerged into water by CBI investigators to obtain a confession,” he told reporters after the judge allowed him to speak to his son for 10 minutes after the hearing.

The boy was arrested on Wednesday, months after the murder of 8-yearold Pradyuman Thakur who was found bleeding to death from a cut in his throat outside a school toilet on September 8.

Haryana police initially named a bus conductor as the main suspect, but federal investigators said on Wednesday the crime

was committed by a school senior who wanted examinations postponed.

On Saturday, lawyers of the suspect juvenile’s family moved an application in the special court seeking action against the investigators for violating orders that the questioning should be restricted to between 10am and 6pm.

“It is also seriously apprehended that CBI/ IO are making crude paddings/creating false evidence in order to falsely implicate the juvenile and justify their action of arresting,” the family’s application said.

A CBI spokesperson denied the allegations of coercion. The agency’s lawyer told the juvenile justice board that it no longer needed the boy’s custody.

T h e b oy r e a c h e d the observation home in Faridabad around 7:20pm.

Officials there said that he will be treated as per protocol and in the same manner as the other 80 inmates.

B u t s o u r c e s h ave flagged concerns regarding the observation home, which has a capacity to take in only 25 minors.

Last year, five boys fled the facility after reportedly attacking a guard.

Earlier in the day, CBI investigators took the boy to the school and are said to have recreated the sequence of events.

The agency also took the boy to a shop in Sohna where he allegedly purchased the knife was used in the murder.

“We have cooperated with the agency and took our son for questioning four times during which they did not tell us anything. On September 24, the agency conducted a search of his room and took away his laptop, mobile phone, school bags, clothes and other items for verification. There was no blood on his clothes, no one saw him committing anything wrong. My son is being framed by the agency,” the father outside the court.

Railway Board chief designs plan for employees’ skill training

Ashwani Lohani

New Delhi, Nov 11, (PTI): Railway employees will soon go back to school for training. Chairman Railway Board Ashwani Lohani has instructed all General Managers to design a fiveday on-the-job or classroom intensive skill training course for rail staffers to meet the growing passenger expectations for better services and amenities.

In a letter to the General Managers of all zones, Lohani has said that a concentrated capsule of training for all employees in a short period of time to boost their productivity and efficiency was imperative due to the growing rail network, new trains and the demand from passengers for “better services and amenities”.

“So, it has been decided that all employees in each zone will be put

through a week’s training in skills and knowledge relevant to their work area over the next one year.

“The training shall be a five-day-on-the-job or classroom training in railway training centres depending on the nature training,” Lohani said in the letter.

Naming the project ‘Saksham’, Lohani has also instructed the GMs to ensure that such priority training need is quickly identified for each category of employees in their specific zones. He has also asked them to formulate a training calender by December 31, 2017.

Lohani has asked the GMs to ensure that the reporting managers of all employees are actively involved in the training processes and the focus should be on “making a difference” on the job.

UP govt spreading hatred in name of development: Akhilesh Yadav Lucknow, Nov 11 (PTI): Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav today accused the government in Uttar Pradesh of spreading hatred in the name of development, saying there was no one better than the BJP in creating a “vertical divide”. The former UP chief minister also alleged that the projects of the earlier Samajwadi Party government were being inaugurated by the Yogi Adityanath government.

“BJP people are very wise in instigating problems, spreading hatred, and there is no one better than them in creating a vertical divide, be it in a family or political party... you can see Gujarat, Bengal or Uttar Pradesh,” Yadav said at a newspaper event here.

“Who is better than them in creating a divide in the name of HinduMuslim or castes... People charge us for being casteist but dont call them casteists,” he said. Yadav also claimed that he had never asked for votes on the basis of caste and religion. The former chief minister also asked, “Was the UP government made for spreading hatred in the

Akhilesh Yadav

name of development.

“It is only the development of hatred,” he alleged. On the rift within the Samajwadi Party, Yadav said that with his party losing power, the problems in his family have also come to an end.

“There can be no tiff now as there is no power... when there is no power there is no tiff,” Yadav said. Taking a dig at the BJP government in UP, the former chief minister said that during his tenure, he had never inaugurated projects which had been inaugurated previously. “ T h e wo r k s d o n e by the Samajwadi Party

government are being inaugurated by this government. “If they have done anything on their own for the state, they should tell people,” he said.

The Samajwadi Party president, who had struck an electoral alliance with the Congress before the UP Assembly polls, also stated that his “friendship with Rahul Gandhi will continue”.

“I am not the one who changes friends and this fact should be clear. On the political front, we were friends and will remain as such...the alliance as it is today, will continue,” he stressed.

Congress says credit for GST rate cuts goes to Rahul Gandhi New Delhi, Nov 11 (PTI): The Congress on Saturday claimed credit for the GST Council’s decision to cut tax rates on 178 items of daily use, saying the government was forced to do so due to the pressure mounted by party vicepresident Rahul Gandhi and the “huge response” his campaign had been receiving in poll- bound Gujarat.

Leading the charge against the government on the Goods and Services Tax (GST), Gandhi said the Congress would continue to fight for a 18-per cent cap on the highest GST slab instead of the current 28 per cent, and vowed that the party would get the job done “if the ruling BJP doesn’t”. He also reiterated that India needed a simple tax and not the “Gabbar Singh Tax” as he had been describing the tax regime to target the Modi government.

Congress general secretary in-charge of Gujarat, Ashok Gehlot told PTI that the GST Council yesterday decided to cut the tax rates due to the pressure mounted by Gandhi and the “huge response” he had been receiving in the pollbound western state.

Gujarat, the home state of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah, has been under the BJP’s rule for over two decades and the Congress

is trying to oust it from power. Congress leaders, particularly Gandhi, have made the GST and demonetisation as key issues of their campaign.

Gehlot claimed the GST Council brought about the changes in tax rates with an eye on votes in Gujarat.

The state goes to poll in two phases on December 9 and December 14. “It (BJP) is rankled by trepidation that Gujarat will slip off its hands. That’s why the rates were cut. The Council did so because of the pressure Rahulji mounted and response his yatras in the state are getting,” he said.

C o n g r e s s ’s c h i e f spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala termed the GST Council’s move “installment-based tinkering” which he said underscored the “chaos within and adhocism” of the BJPled central government.

Accusing Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and the government of “paying lip service and creating havoc”, Surjewala said the Congress was determined to make the tax regime “flawless”.

Woman killed for ‘honour’ in UP M u z a f fa r nag a r , Nov 11, (PTI): A 24-yearold woman was stabbed to death by her family members in a suspected case of honour killing in Mundet Kala village in Shamli district, police said today.

Satwati’s family members killed her as they suspected the woman had an illicit relationship with her brother-in-law, Superintendent of Police Ajaypal Sharma told reporters.

Her father and other family members confronted her when they came to know about the relationship and stabbed her to death yesterday. The body was dumped in a field, Sharma said.

Four people, including her father and brother, confessed to have killed the woman to uphold the family honour, he said. The police recovered a car and sharp weapons used in the crime.

Stabled prices

fter GST came into effect on July 1,2017 prices of many items have shot up, some tripling to abnormal levels. The Modi government continued to trumpet the virtues and the gains and refused to even listen to voices that called for caution. In fact, when voices of caution raised their pitche, these were dubbed simply as pessimists and critics. The Modi government finally took the call as traders and small businesses in Gujarat began openly criticising the government over GST. The Modi government couldn’t ignore the angry voices in Gujarat as the BJP was getting shaken in its strongest bastion and that too when the state will be going to the polls in December this year. The Modi government has reduced GST rates on 178 daily items from 28% to 18%. Now even eating out will be only 5% as against the earlier rates of 12% in non-A/C restaurants and 18% in A/C restaurants.

The prices are expected to come down when the revised GST becomes effective from November 15,2017. However, there is no guarantee that the reduced GST will actually bring down many rates since traders could still retain the old prices on whatever reasons. The bitter truth is that perhaps prices don’t come down. Input costs are reduced be it minerals, metals or any other raw material but selling prices once increased are never brought down. Logically, as also ethically, business ethics or simple social ethics, prices should be in relation to the cost of the raw material. It does not happen in this country. The worst is when the government itself is into profiteering instead of adhered objective of welfare or catering to the needs of the people. Prices of crude oil have more or less stabilised between $50 to $60 per barrel as compared to $130 during the UPA government. During UPA the price of diesel was Rs.55 per litre while presently under NDA, it is Rs.62 per litre. The prices of crude oil had been reduced by 50% since 2014 but the hikes in petrol and diesel is 50%. There are other reasons too, most merely for the government to pocket higher cuts. This is the bane of liberalismglobalism. Most consumer goods producers in this country are multi--nationals. They keep the Indian bureaucracy rightly fed so that they can increase their profits by twin methods of raising prices and reducing the volume or weight of the product. The regulators are fed so well that they rarely act. Almost all governments are in apparent league in the looting spree with the private sector.

The government sits over it or uses it to reduce budgetary deficit while allowing the private sector get fatter and fatter on irrational and illegal toll on roads all over the country. There is another unethical aspect. People are suffering for long.

The governments must not take them for granted and realise that discontent is simmering. The government at the Centre must take the call if it is serious about doing good for the real and living aam admi and not the ‘aam admi’ who exists only in election campaigns.

DailyDevotion The Supreme Climb He said, “Take now your son…” —Genesis 22:2 God’s command is, “Take now,” not later. It is incredible how we debate! We know something is right, but we try to find excuses for not doing it immediately. If we are to climb to the height God reveals, it can never be done later— it must be done now. And the sacrifice must be worked through our will before we actually perform it.

“So Abraham rose early in the morning…and went to the place of which God had told him” (Genesis 22:3). Oh, the wonderful simplicity of Abraham!

When God spoke, he did not “confer with flesh and blood” (Galatians 1:16). Beware when you want to “confer with flesh and blood” or even your own thoughts, insights, or understandings— anything that is not based on your personal relationship with God. These are all things that compete with and hinder obedience to God. Abraham did not choose what the sacrifice would be. Always guard against self-chosen service for God. Self-sacrifice may be a disease that impairs your service. If God has made your cup sweet, drink it with grace; or even if He has made it bitter, drink it in communion with Him. If the providential will of God means a hard and difficult time for you, go through it. But never decide the place of your own martyrdom, as if to say, “I will only go to there, but no farther.” God chose the test for Abraham, and Abraham neither delayed nor protested, but steadily obeyed. If you are not living in touch with God, it is easy to blame Him or pass judgment on Him. You must go through the trial before you have any right to pronounce a verdict, because by going through the trial you learn to know God better. God is working in us to reach His highest goals until His purpose and our purpose become one.

Post-mortem

SC verdict on parliamentary Nagaland deserves chief Secretaries: A Perspective minister of very high calibre T

A

s s e m b ly E l e c t i o n i s knocking at the door in Nagaland. Messengers of the so-called ‘Honourable Final Solution of the IndoNaga Political Problem’ have been arriving in the state since the last twenty years. The talk of imminent ‘Interim Government in Nagaland’ is a chimera undermining a confused Naga society of bewildered, simple, naïve and credulous people who fear being left out like the five foolish virgins of the ten virgins, gone out at night without Oil in their lamps to welcome the Bridegroom on the Way in the Gospel parable!

Just the other day, all of a sudden, the people got an embarrassing jolt as one Minister physically assaulted a high-ranking Government Officer and exposed as it were, the tip of the immense danger iceberg of callousness and contempt for decency lying underneath the surface of Nagaland Government.

The Minister then got scotfree just by offering a cursory and hypocritical apology for an unforgivable offence. The Hon’ble Chief Minister also failed to give even a hint of displeasure at such an atrocious conduct of a senior Cabinet Minister.

This is the first time ever in the State; that people at the helm of the state governance brought such unacceptable reputation to the State. Can one ever imagine a human society where anything hardly functions? Even gangs of criminals have their codes and rules. Nagaland has -no rules, no law, no codes– and development funds miraculously disappear.

Nagaland is indeed a “Miracle State!”

Mud slinging at another is a favorite game of the politicians and often the Public get entertained, at the same time the muck that lies hidden in the dark recesses of “statecraft” also is exposed. The recent outburst of the Chief Minister’s Office however is utterly intemperate and shows gross lack of decency.

People in Nagaland are now sick, tired and angry, moronic and irresponsible old political materials in the state. The People deserve a government of much higher quality. The state deserves a Chief Minister of much higher caliber.

A respectable senior citizen said that a state must have a Chief Minister of ‘excellent cali-

O

ber’. “‘Excellent Caliber’ is more an academic term than one that includes moral and ethical qualities”, said widely known woman, “whereas a Chief Minister must also have a high degree of moral and ethical values”, she said.

Another decorated Naga Woman said, “The Chief Minister of Nagaland should not only have high Caliber for management of the State, he should also have a strong sense of ‘native Naga Culture and Nature’”.

The Netherlands touches the cold Arctic Circle, it is a small country 270 times smaller than the USA, yet it is one of the leading producers of Vegetables, Tomato and Potato in the World with 20 Tones of Potato from a single Acre whereas USA produces only 10 Tones per Acre.

One hectare of land produces 1-ton Soy protein; the same area in Holland produces tons of Grasshopper Insect Protein for its Cattle. 20ft of Tomato vine in climate-controlled scientific Green Houses in Holland consumes only 4 Gallons of water whereas open cultivation requires 16 gallons. Holland uses mainly Rainwater and fiber root medium enriched with symbiotic bacteria in its wonder Agriculture.

We acknowledge Nagaland would take centuries to attain the standard of management and development Netherlands has attained.

However, More than half a century after attaining statehood, due to gross mismanagement, Nagaland Government is unable to pay its teachers regularly, pay scholarship to the students regularly or make full payments to contractors for completed works; rather serious doubts have become known about massive fraudulent payments for nonexistent works. The financial condition of the state is in complete disarray –“No fund” is all that the People hear; and the state survives barely by begging for extra doles from the Union Government, but never arrives at a condition of being able to bridge the financial deficit even to a tiny degree.

The Government of Nagaland has no control over the rampant collection of “taxes”

by Extra-Constitutional bodies in the state. This condition has led to uncontrolled price increase in the market, victimizing all the citizens in the State.

Shame upon shame, government buildings all over the state even in the capital city are gathering Moss and Lichens lying half-finished for years in ruins, bridges have collapsed and are collapsing! Cows sleep in school buildings. Office buildings are dilapidated and dirty. Road conditions evoke spontaneous cursing. No water supply, Power supply is at best erratic. The list goes on. Nothing works. Without exception, all who travel outside Nagaland, after seeing the progress in other areas of development in other states, feel sad and despondent when they come back.

The Public Service Commission is the Core-machine of the State Craft of Governance; members’ statutory selected very senior experienced usually retired renowned person operates the Commission. It deserves the highest and most careful management of the Government, but Government has used it most casually as collateral political self-Interests of the Politicians.

The Nagaland Public Service Commission has become so run-down in its Reputation.

Come to think of it: The candidate Students recently in protest formed a Committee and submitted very sensible suggestions to revamp the whole sorry condition of the Commission.

Oftentimes people tend to think and say that everybody from the grass-root level to the top is responsible for this sorry state of affairs in Nagaland. This is not true. Leaders are responsible, and the onus is on the head of the Leaders.

The Assembly Election in Nagaland, the mother of all sorts of maladies and evils recycled afresh, is knocking at the State door. It is high time for Nagas to think and act decisively to have a Government of high quality and Chief Minister of high caliber.

he Hon’ble Supreme Court of India on 26th July 2017 ruled that Article 194 and Entry 39 of list II of the 7th schedule do not empower state legislature to create new offices like parliamentary secretaries and declared the Assam Parliamentary secretaries (Appointment, Salaries, Allowances and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 2004 as unconstitutional. In the backdrop of this SC judgement, Nagaland Tribes Council had filed PIL in Gauhati High Court Kohima bench against unconstitutional appointments of advisors and parliamentary secretaries by the state Government and the same was heard on 31st August, 2017. Apparently the SC judgement seems to have eluded the sight of the nonchalant Nagaland Government till date. This brings to the fore the total apathy and failure of the state machinery. It may be mentioned that in the wake of the SC verdict, all seven Parliamentary Secretaries of Mizoram resigned on 30th August, and the most recent en masse Parliamentary Secretaries’ resignation came to pass in Meghalaya on 9th Nov. Nagaland state is under a heavy weight of fiscal deficits. The present system of creating office of parliamentary secretaries and advisors besides being unconstitutional, surely does add extra burden on the state’s exchequer, thereby augmenting the existing fiscal deficits rather than solving our fiscal irresponsibility. As per the RBI report, Nagaland gross fiscal deficit sky-rocketed from Rs. 1 Billion in 1991-92 to 11.6 Billion in the fiscal year 20152016, the highest fiscal deficit in 16 years since 1991. Perhaps, in lieu of parliamentary secretaries and advisors, the legislature should consider legislating a State Advisory Council (SAC) similar to the National Advisory Council of the UPA regime, wherein eminent personalities from diverse field of expertise were pooled in to advice the PM of India. Renowned personalities such as Prof. M.S. Swaminathan (Indian father of Green Revolution), Prof.

Narendra Jadhav (Educationist), Prof. Pramod Tandon (Biotechnologist), Aruna Roy (Activist), Jean Dreze (Economist), Madhav Gadgil (Ecologist), Anu Anga (Businessperson) among others, were former members of NAC under the UPA Government.

It is worthwhile to note that NAC was responsible for drafting some of the key bills passed by the UPA Governments viz., Right to Information Act, Right to Education Act, Employee Guarantee Act, Food Security Bill etc. I am of the opinion that the creation of SAC

by involving noted and eminent local Academicians, Scholars, Social Activists, Scientists, Economists, Lawyers etc. can advise the Chief Minister and his cabinet on variegated issues endemic to our state, giving support for legislative business and helping the state formulate effective policies. This is extremely important because by engaging experts in policy-making, a rational, decisive and effective policy can be framed based on facts and figures with reference to local context. The need for SAC is pertinent and more so, because the present electoral practice in the state is corrupted.

Many eminent personalities who would do a terrific job if given such platform in policy-making are not carrier politicians but citizen statements. Perhaps these upright statesmen distance themselves from being smeared by such corrupt electoral practices, hence never run for office. In a corrupt society, illegal practices become the touchstone to accomplish legal things. It is a known fact that most elected members are either from the political classes or retired Govt. officers, among others, who are prowling thieves, pillaging our wealth, maneuvering public funds and stacking up on untold fortunes; their luxury and flamboyance are the very personification of greed and knavery, and yet they continue to prey on the uninformed citizens by making wily attempts with their illegally accumulated wealth. Despite this fact, it is detestable to see how the corrupt society still holds them at the pinnacle of the social ladder in contravention with our ethos.

Though clean election campaign is gaining momentum, until such a time when it becomes the coup de grace for corruption and luminaries are elected to run the state, errant politicians will continue to vex us without any ethical qualms.

These corrupt politicians ratcheting up their illusory rhetoric with their oratory prowess to beguile the uninformed citizens must be voted out in the upcoming 2018 State Assembly Election. We need a mechanism to curb the menace of corruption and develop strategies for effective policy-making and implementation. The zenithal corruption and slow-paced developmental works have languished the state to an almost suspended animation. Though no system is perfect, perhaps the creation of SAC could be a guardian angel for Nagaland.

Kuknalim!

The voice of United Naga Democratic Party of Nagaland

ur Nagaland is pathetically filled to the brim with incurable wickedness, drunkenness, immoralities and senselessness of corruption and miscreant of unqualified and visionless leaders.

Our Nagaland, our society is a battle ground of our own making, where irreconcilable conflict is being fought between the forces of good and evil, right and wrong and the evils are on the winning side. Our society is passing through more precariously explosive situation than at any time of its history.

Our society is becoming increasingly insensitive to the basic realities of life.

It is pre-occupied almost beyond the radius of redemption with the idols of success or fame, wealth, popularity, prestige, status, power, pleasure and what not! These are malignant tissues of society. If the tides of evils are left unchecked, we shall be swallowed up in few years’ time. Our society has never been divided and fragmented as we see now.

Military power, money power or force is not the answer to it but and understanding of one another through the love of God, the creator. To be silent at this moment of our history is a crime. We speak of Naga’ Unity, reconciliation, progress and solution to various chronic problems, but we fail

to realize and repent from sin of TRIBALISM. Most of our so called statehood leaders and Naga National workers are the ones who don’t have patriotic feelings and qualities of a freedom fighter. We know very well that killers and extortionists and public wealth amassers can never be genuine leaders; corrupted leaders today will not be recognized tomorrow, for they have hurt the sentiments of the innocent public and their righteous people. To ERR IS HUMAN but to embezzle public money is not just a mistake but EVIL and one of the greatest transgressions towards self respect.

Let us think logically and analyse the stagnant state of affairs from every position.

Naga’s are born warriors and like a brave warrior, political issues should be faced with upright honesty devoid of business gains and narcissism. Business gain is the ultimate, for business and narcissism are also sometimes very beneficial in the work of business but to use such for political solution is a blunder.

Leadership training programs, political agendas, and meetings are numerous these days. The tragedy however is that leaders are not leaders themselves.

They have simply learnt the principle of leadership from books or they happen to be holding executive

positions.

Oh! People of Nagaland; let us understand that mere lip service will bring no sound environment of living standard in the land. Our leaders will repair on the surface, leaving internal injuries. Hypocrisy and make believe won’t do.

Putting the bandage without thoroughly cleansing the wound will only become septic. The walls between the leaders must first break down.

Whether we like it or not, the present Naga leaders are more or less indirect extortionists, terrorist and criminals. Today’s problem of “Making wrong things into right and make believe”, if not dedicated to its commitment, what we do today for a solution may be tomorrows incurable disease. Also, today’s youth problem is the bye-product of leaders/elders. If the “Divide and Rule” policy of Indo-British is not good for the Nagas, then the Naga leaders should not practice it. What is the benefit of TENYIMIA UNION, EASTERN NAGALAND PUBLIC ORGANISATION, CENTRAL NAGALAND TRIBES, and NAGALAND TRIBES COUNCIL for the Naga people as a whole?

Would it not be better if there only be one solid union like- NAGALAND TRIBES COUNCIL/UNION of Nagaland?

Dear Naga fellow friends, let us not hunt one another but let us hold one another. Let us not kill one another but let us protect one another.

Should we continue our dispute/misunderstanding in the court of nepotism, separatism and favouritism? Man and woman who feel he/she is a Naga must understand that Naga’s are pure democratic republican from the beginning by the will of God. Let us retreat (not surrender) our original Naga policy for a solution/ settlement and any dispute by setting up of the house/ body of Naga representatives. Even Indo-Naga crisis can be settled amicably in our own court of justice and understanding.

Why should we go back to Egypt?

Democracy in a big brother India’s context is like ‘Majority rule’ and it just doesn’t suit or fit the Naga’s. We must establish the rule/government of “Right is might”, which is the heritage of our forefathers. We cannot afford being silent spectators, neither can we compromise with poison nor can we have the intelligence to appease social evil and error.

Accurate diagnosis is fundamental to cure. No matter how good the prescription it gives no healing if based on wrong diagnosis.

God says and solemnly

declares that the trouble lay within human nature itself which infects all that he does. Human nature is the root cause of all human problems and ills. Bearing a fruit is impossible without root. How can we do away with it? We cannot do it but God can. God said, “Obey me and i’ll do it for you.”

Restoring of peace, making Nagaland all-round stable and sound, resourceful and a search for solu-

tion to the long standing political turmoil should be the main focus and the rest of the problems will solve on its own to the genuine and correct path of living in this short-lived but God given world.

Praise the Lord & God Bless N. Hotongshe Sangtam, President, United Naga Democratic Party, Nagaland

Reader’s Post

Sir,

Establish Nagaland medical college

The government took the jhum land of the writer way back in the 60s and established a fifty bedded district hospital in Wokha. Luckily the national highway passes through the district hospital, Wokha to Ralan sub-division, Bokajan and Dimapur. If government of Nagaland want to establish medical college attached to district hospital, Wokha, the writer is willing to give his vast lands adjacent to district hospital, Wokha. Establishing of Nagaland medical college would enable many young people from BPL families to pursue MBBS studies without having to go out of the state. Therefore, if Nagaland government is willing to set up Nagaland medical college, and if department of Health and Family Welfare is willing, then the writer will give land to government for development. At the moment, many individuals and groups are pressing hard to buy the writer’s land but writer wants to give his land only to government for development works.

Rahul begins campaign in North Gujarat; offers prayer at Akshardham

G u ja r at, N ov 1 1 (PTI): Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Saturday began his campaign for Assembly polls in north Gujarat with a visit

to the famous Akshardahm temple in Gandhinagar.

Akshardham temple belongs to the Swaminarayan sect, which has a huge following among the

Patel community, and the Congress is trying to woo the community ahead of the Assembly election to be held in two phases on December 9 and December 14.

Mr. Gandhi arrived at Gandhinagar this morning and went to the Akshardham temple. He offered prayers to Lord Swaminarayan at the temple and began his three-day tour which will cover six districts.

The BJP criticised the move, saying Mr. Gandhi was visiting Hindu temples just ahead of elections to get votes.

“Why Rahul Gandhi is only visiting temple ahead of elections. People know their intentions that they want to get votes by such gimmicks. They have no inclination of devotion as during Rahul Gandhi’s earlier trip he never visited any temple,” Deputy Chief Minister Nitin Patel said.

“We wish that Con-

gress sheds its pseudosecularism and respect mainstream Hindutva, but their gimmicks to get votes will not work in Gujarat,” Mr. Patel said.

However, the Congress hit back, saying people will teach the BJP a lesson as it is opposing a visit to temple.

“Does anybody have patent on devotion? They are opposing a visit to the temple. People of Gujarat will teach them a lesson,” Congress leader Shaktisinh Gohil said.

“Rahul Gandhiji has visited Jain temple and Gurudwaras apart from Hindu temples. We believe in secularism,” he said.

Mr. Gandhi is going to visit the famous Ambaji temple in Banaskantha district in north Gujarat this evening.

He had started his campaign in the western state with a visit to the renowned Dwarkadheesh temple.

‘World has realised India belongs to club of powerful nations’ Lu c k n ow, N ov 1 1 (PTI): Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh Saturday said the world had started realising that India was no longer a weak nation and that it belonged to the club of powerful countries in the world.

Speaking at an event organised by a newspaper here, he said, “At the international level, India’s importance has grown. The world realises that India, at this point of time, has emerged as the biggest economy in the world. India today is no longer a weak country, but in the club of the powerful nations of the world.”

Replying to a question, Singh said, “At places, there are more praises and less criticism now. Whatever we had envisaged to achieve, we have achieved it.”

On another question pertaining to the performance of the BJP-led government at the Centre over the last three years, he said he would not like to evaluate his own performance, but added that overall, the clout and credibility of the country had increased.

Pollution levels still severe in Delhi

New Delhi, Nov 11 (IANS): The air quality of Delhi-NCR showed slight improvement on Saturday but the residents continued breathing toxins as the pollution levels remained at ‘severe’ for the fifth day in a row.

As per the data collected from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Delhi’s average Air Quality Index (AQI) at 3 p.m. was 423 (on a scale of 0 to 500) while the PM2.5 (particles with diameter less than 2.5) hovered around 422 units, considered “severe”.

The average AQI in Delhi-NCR combined was 425 with PM2.5 recorded at 424 units. Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh was the most polluted region in NCR by noon with its AQI calculated at 484 while its PM2.5 reached a danger-

days after Pakistan Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi had rejected the idea of an “independent Kashmir”, saying it was not based on “reality”.

“I am saying that there is nothing like the issue of freedom (independent Kashmir) here. We are landlocked. On one side we have China, Pakistan on the other side and India on the third side,” the MP from Srinagar told reporters on the sidelines of a function at the party headquarters here.

“All three of them

have atom bombs. We have nothing except Allah’s name,” he said.

“Those (separatists) who are talking about Azadi, are talking wrong,” the former J&K chief minister said.

On the demand for autonomy, he said that while the state decided to join India out of love, the country “betrayed” the people of Kashmir and did not treat them well.

“We should understand that there has been a decision (of accession), but India didn’t treat us

well. India betrayed us.

They did not recognise the love with which we chose to join them. That is the reason behind the current situation in Kashmir,” Abdullah said.

“Internal autonomy is our right. They (Centre) should restore it. Only then the peace will return (to the Valley),” he said.

SAFAR, however, predicts improvement in the air quality of Delhi-NCR from “severe” to “very poor” on Sunday.

Earlier, India Meteorological Department (IMD) also forecast improvement in the air quality here from Sunday onwards due to increase in the wind speed and formation of western disturbance or rainy situation in the neighbouring states.

Talk of independent Kashmir wrong: Farooq Abdullah Srinagar, Nov 11 (PTI): Opposition National Conference president Farooq Abdullah Saturday said that talk of an independent Kashmir was “wrong” as the Valley is landlocked and surrounded by three nuclear powers -- China, Pakistan and India.

There are reasons behind this slight improvement -- the biggest being no movement of trucks within Delhi.

We are continuously monitoring the situation and will take decisions accordingly,” Environment Pollution Control Authority (EPCA) chairperson Bhure Lal told IANS. He added that lack of sufficient public transport continues to be a serious problem while combating air pollution.

Abdullah also claimed that PoK was part of Pakistan and would remain so.

Noida, Nov 11 (PTI): Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant Saturday said debit and credit cards as well as ATMs will be redundant in next three-four years and people will use their mobile phones for financial transactions.

He further said that with India being a country where 72 per cent population is below 32 years of age, it will have an advantage over other regions like the US and Europe in terms of demographic dividend.

“India will make credit cards, debit cards and ATMs technologically redundant in next 3-4 years and we all will be using mobiles for doing many transactions,” Kant said at Amity University Noida campus where he was felicitated with an honorary doctorate degree.

Kant said that India is the only country in the world with billion biometrics and as many mobile phones and bank accounts and therefore, in future, it will be the only nation which will make a lot of disruptions.

Mumbai, Nov 11 (PTI): The Association of National Exchanges Members of India (ANMI) has urged the finance ministry to reduce STT and abolish dividend tax for growth of the capital markets.

The national body of stockbrokers said the Securities Transaction Tax (STT) has impacted revenue generation and escalated cost of transaction for clients.

“We have urged the finance ministry to give a rebate on STT, which has impacted volumes and revenue generation and escalated cost of transaction

for clients.

“STT is the biggest cost component for a stock market participant, accounting for more than half the total cost of transaction for a stock market investor,” ANMI president K Suresh said.

The need of the hour is to channelise small savings, like the amount lying in the Jan Dhan Yojana, accounts into appropriate financial products, which would not only fire up the agenda of financial inclusion but also strengthen India’s capital market, he said on the sidelines of the 9th International Conven-

tion held here. In no other global capital market the taxes on transactions are so high when compared to total transaction cost of doing business in India. In 2016-17, the government collected Rs 8,358 crore from STT as against Rs 7,350 in 2015-16, he said. !!HIRING!! MALE CANDIDATES FOR DIMAPUR.

New Delhi, Nov 11 (PTI): Gold prices dipped

by Rs 80 to Rs 30,450 per 10 grams at the bullion market Saturday, tracking a weak trend overseas amid easing demand from local jewellers. Silver eased further by Rs 175 to Rs 40,400 per kg on poor offtake by industrial units and coin makers.

Traders said apart from a weak trend overseas, fall in demand from local jewellers and retailers at existing levels led to the decline in gold prices.

Globally, gold fell by 0.75 per cent to USD 1,274.90 an ounce and silver by 0.53 per cent to USD 16.86 an ounce in New York in yes-

“As far as NPAs are concerned, as citizens of India what we have to figure out is why did it increase to 12 per cent. Normally NPAs are supposed to be 4-5 per cent,” he added.

According to Jalan, since the country has a majority government at the Centre, long-term reforms, difficult reforms, political reforms, economic reforms, governance reforms and public sector reforms are quite feasible now.

“What we need is administrative reform as well as political reform of very basic nature. Another issue is that of implementation which is undoubtedly the most important part. Do not only announce policy but also implement it,” he stressed.

When completed, ONGC will become the first fully integrated state-run oil and gas company with significant upstream and downstream operations with many refineries and over 14,400 retail outlets.

On July 19, the cabinet had approved the sale of its 51.11 per cent in the third largest oil retailer and refiner to ONGC as part of its effort to create an integrated energy behemoth and also to meet the hefty Rs 72,500crore selloff target it had budgeted for this fiscal.

When asked about the cost-escalation for the deal and how the debt-free ONGC will raise the newly floating cash outgo, Shanker dismissed all such fears.

However, he lauded the efforts taken to improve the health of PSBs, saying “whatever action we have taken is very positive”.

Talking about the festering issue of non-performing assets (NPAs) or bad loans of public lenders, Jalan said the reason behind its rapid increase should be studied.

Mumbai, Nov 11 (PTI): The nation’s largest energy driller ONGC hopes to complete the acquisition of the state-run oil marketer Hindustan Petroleum Corporation by March, chairman and managing director Shashi Shanker said here Saturday.

The ONGC chief also refused to comment on the reported government move to monetise up to 60 per cent of the oil and gas fields developed by it and Oil India to private parties, saying they have not heard anything from the government but read it in newspapers only.

“The signal was that anyone wavering in their support should watch out,” said the person familiar with the events. “The whole idea of the anti-corruption campaign was targeted toward the family. The rest is window dressing.”

King Salman said the purge was in response to “exploitation by some of the weak souls who have put their own interests above the public interest, in order to, illicitly, accrue money”.

Insiders said the accusations were based on evidence gathered by the intelligence service.

Government backers have rejected suggestions that the campaign is really about eliminating political enemies. There was no immediate comment from the royal court on this story.

of Prince Mohammed, and Prince Turki bin Abdullah, former governor of Riyadh province and a son of the late King Abdullah.

Some royal watchers said tensions were laid bare during family meetings over the summer. One insider said it was widely known to Prince Mohammed that some of the powerful royals, including Miteb, were resentful about his elevation.

Prince Mohammed, who is widely known in Saudi Arabia by his initials MbS, had said openly in interviews that he would investigate the kingdom’s endemic corruption and would not hesitate to go after top officials.

The vehicle was an anti-corruption committee created by King Salman, and announced on Nov. 4.

JERUSALEM, NOV 11 (AGENCIES): The Israeli army said it had shot down a Russian-made Syrian drone carrying out a reconnaissance mission over the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on Saturday, reports AFP. The drone was intercepted by a Patriot missile in the demilitarised zone between the Israeli- and Syrian-controlled parts of the Golan, a military spokeswoman said in a statement.

Israel and Syria are still technically at war,

APPRECIATION

I, on behalf of the Wozhuro Range people would like to thank Mr. Y.M Humtsoe Rtd. Secretary to the Govt. of Nagaland, for the sacrificial work of repairing the only life line approach road to Wozhuro Via Tesophenyu from NH-61 (now NH-2), which was for a long, long time nearly 20 (twenty) years in a very, very pathetic condition and shape. Even too, two successive cabinet Ministers under 38 A/C has come and gone and with a present sitting ruling MLA, failing to address the problem turning a blind eye and a deaf ear. Except a partial black topping work done by Hon’ble Minister late John Lotha in the 1990’s this road was left as an untouchable low caste road.

However, Mr. Y.M.Humtsoe of his concern and awareness, saw the hardship and inconvenience faced by the people of this area because of the condition of the road, it is a true quality of a leader having a concern and a vision. So, I would like the people of this area and range to see this Samaritan work, someone outside of us has done to us and should be thankful and not politicize it. He is in fact fit to be a leader and a politician.

I wish him all the best in his future career and vision. I would also like to thank the villagers and village council chairman of Tesophenyu for helping, guiding and cooperating for executing the work.

ious about what they see as a volatile combination: an impulsive, youthful Saudi leader escalating threats to roll back growing Iranian influence, an equally impulsive Trump administration signaling broad agreement with Saudi policies, and increasingly pointed warnings from Israel that it may eventually fight another war with Hezbollah.

Now analysts and diplomats are scrambling to figure out what the latest developments mean, whether they are connected

and whether, as some analysts fear, they are part of a buildup to a regional war.

Hariri, until he announced his resignation on Saturday, had shown no signs of planning to do so.

Hours later, on Saturday evening, a missile fired from Yemen came close to Riyadh before being shot down. Saudi Arabia later blamed Iran and Hezbollah for the missile, suggesting that they had aided the Iran-aligned Houthi rebels in Yemen to fire it.

Before the world had a chance to absorb this news, the ambitious and aggressive Saudi Arabian crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, ordered the arrest of hundreds of Saudis — including 11 princes, government ministers and some of the kingdom’s most prominent businessmen — in what was either a crackdown on corruption, as Saudi officials put it, or a purge, as outside analysts have suggested.

BEIRUT, NOV 11 (AGENCIES): When the Lebanese prime minister, Saad Hariri, made a sudden trip abroad last week, it was taken at first to be a routine visit with his political patron, Saudi Arabia. But the next day, he unexpectedly announced his resignation by video from Riyadh, the Saudi capital.

He has yet to return to Lebanon.

On Friday, the Iranianbacked Hezbollah movement, part of his governing coalition at home, charged that the Saudis were holding him against his will, while the Saudis have said they were protecting him from an unspecified assassination plot. The Hariri case has become just one in a profusion of bewildering events — from Saudi Arabia’s arrest of princes and wealthy businessmen last weekend to ordering its citizens out of Lebanon on Thursday — that are escalating tensions in the Middle East and fuel-

BEIRUT/RIYADH, Nov 11(AGENCIES): The current purge in the Saudi Arabian Kingdom has caused tension with Iran after the November 4 arrests of dozens of members of Saudi Arabia’s political and business elite, mostly in the capital and the coastal city of Jeddah. Among them were 11 princes as well as ministers and wealthy tycoons.

The purge was ordered by 32-year-old Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Officially next in line to the throne to his father, King Salman, he is now in effect running the country which he has said he will transform into a modern state.

To do that - and in an attempt to shore up his own power - he has decided to go after the Saudi elite, including some members of the royal family, on accusations such as taking bribes and inflating the cost of business projects. Those arrested could not be reached for comment.

At stake is political stability in the world’s largest oil producer. The Crown Prince’s ability to rule unchallenged depends on whether the purge is successful.

The Crown Prince believes that unless the country changes, the economy will sink into a crisis that could fan unrest. That could threaten the royal family and weaken the country in its regional rivalry with Iran.

SEOUL, NOV 11 (AGENCIES): North Korea said on Saturday that U.S. President Donald Trump’s first trip to Asia showed he was a “destroyer” and said he had begged for war on the Korean peninsula.

“Trump, during his visit, laid bare his true nature as destroyer of world peace and stability and begged for a nuclear war on the Korean peninsula,” the foreign ministry spokesman said in a statement carried by the state news agency.

Trump had warned North Korea on Wednesday not to underestimate the United States as he wrapped up his visit to South Korea.

The North Korean spokesman said nothing would deter Pyongyang from pursuing its nuclear weapons program.

Sweden beat Italy in WC play-off

Johansson celebrates after putting Sweden ahead against Italy on Friday night.

STOCKHOLM, Nov 11 (Agencies): Sweden claimed a precious 1-0 first-leg victory over Italy in their World Cup play-off at Stockholm on Friday, leaving the four-time champions in danger of missing the tournament for the first time in 60 years.

Substitute Jakob Johansson grabbed the only goal of a scrappy game in the 61st minute with a low strike that found the corner with the aid of a big deflection.

Gian Piero Ventura’s Italy will need to respond in Monday’s return leg at the San Siro in Milan to avoid becoming only the second Azzurri outfit to fail to reach the finals.

The last time Italy failed to reach the World

Cup was for the 1958 tournament in Sweden, but Ventura’s side were already under pressure going into the tie after a disappointing end to their Group G campaign that featured a 3-0 loss in Spain and a 1-1 home draw with Macedonia.

Andrea Belotti shook off an injury to partner Ciro Immobile up front, but the away team struggled to pose a consistent attacking threat, as Ventura left in-form Napoli winger Lorenzo Insigne sitting on the bench until the 76th minute.

Both sides created early half-chances, with Torino striker Belotti heading wide when he should have done better, and Ola Toivonen firing past the

post at the other end just seconds later.

Roared on by a vociferous home crowd, Sweden put Italy under pressure with their direct style of play and Emil Forsberg went close with a curling effort that flew over the crossbar.

Italy suffered a blow when key midfielder Marco Verratti was handed a booking that ruled him out of Monday’s second leg for a lunging tackle on Marcus Berg.

Veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, who will retire from international duty after the World Cup campaign, showed excellent pace off his line to claw the ball away from Toivonen, as neither team managed to carve out a

Gambhir’s DDCA role under conflict of interest scanner NEW DELHI, Nov 11 (PTI): Veteran opener Gautam Gambhir’s inclusion as a government nominee in Delhi & District Cricket Association’s (DDCA) Managing Committee has come under the scanner due to conflict of interest issue.

On Friday, Gambhir announced via Twitter that he has been nominated in the managing committee of DDCA and also thanked sports minister Rajyavardhan Rathore.

However, Gambhir is an active first-class cricketer and as per Lodha Committee recommendations will fall under the conflict of interest purview if he is a part of the policy making body before retiring from the game.

DDCA’s managing committee, as and when it comes into effect, will

Gautam Gambhir

decide on coach and selection committee, which will then be directly beneficial to Gambhir if he remains an active cricketer.

Interestingly, Delhi High Court appointed administrator of DDCA, Justice (Retd) Vikramajit Sen said he was unaware of the existence of any managing committee in the current set-up.

“I have not received any notification from the government about Gautam Gambhir’s appointment.

I am not aware about any managing committee. I

“Also, he is an active cricketer, so I am not sure if Lodha Committee reforms will allow him to take up administrative post,” he said.

It is also learnt that no such managing committee exists as of now in DDCA since the time court appointed administrator took over. No one knows who all are a part of the committee.

A close friend of Gambhir said that if the conflict of interest issue arises then he will not take up the post.

“Gautam has no plans to retire and will be playing active cricket. If there is a conflict of interest issue, he will not take up the post,” he said.

clear-cut opportunity in a first half without an effort on target.

The visitors finally produced a shot in anger shortly after the break when Antonio Candreva fired a dipping shot which was punched away by home keeper Robin Olsen.

A scrappy game was never likely to be decided by a moment of brilliance, and it was a lucky break that gave Janne Andersson’s men the lead just after the hour mark.

Johansson latched onto Toivonen’s header from an Emil Krafth long throw to fire a shot that wrong-footed Buffon after spinning off Daniele de Rossi.

It was the perfect time for the AEK Athens midfielder to score his first international goal, having only come off the bench four minutes earlier.

Italy immediately stepped up their game in search of a precious away goal and Manchester United full-back Matteo Darmian rattled the post with a thunderous long-range strike.

Insigne created a late opening for Immobile, but the Lazio striker summed up a poor night for Italy with a wild shot that almost went out for a throw-in, as Sweden closed out a win that gives them a real chance of reaching the World Cup for the first time since 2006.

Lukaku equals all-time Belgium goalscoring record B russ e ls, N ov 1 1 (Agencies): Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku has equalled the all-time Belgium goalscoring record after scoring twice against Mexico on Friday night.

The 24-year-old’s 70thminute equaliser was his 30th goal for Belgium, and it ensured he equalled the record set by Paul van Himst and Bernard Voorhoof.

Lukaku had previously been struggling for form in front of goal with Manchester United; he had not scored in seven games - his last goal coming for Belgium a month ago.

“At my young age to have achieved something great like this is really good,” said Lukaku.

“But there is a lot of work to be done everyday and I’m just relishing the challenges on a weekly basis.”

Belgium’s injury-hit defence were exposed by Mexico’s Hirving Lozano, who scored a quick-fire double in the second-half to put his side in front. Lukaku was impressed with Saturday’s opponents and believes if they can replicate the form they showed against Belgium, they will pose a threat at the World Cup. “I knew they were a good team and I knew they had a lot of individual talent,” he added.

“I think they’re a really good team and if they perform like that, they’ll be very dangerous for a lot of teams at the World Cup.”

Tammy Abraham had a shot narrowly deflected wide as England created several good chances in the friendly against Germany.

L O N D O N, N ov 1 1 (Agencies): England debutants Jordan Pickford and Ruben Loftus-Cheek caught the eye as Gareth Southgate’s injured-ravaged side played out a 0-0 draw with world champions Germany in Friday’s Wembley friendly.

Everton goalkeeper Pickford, 23, made a number of smart saves, while 21-

year-old Chelsea midfielder Loftus-Cheek, who is on loan at Crystal Palace, produced an assured display in the number 10 shirt.

It was only the second time in seven matches that England had avoided defeat against Germany at Wembley, with the other game a draw in the semi-finals of Euro 96 that culminated in a penalty shootout loss.

Jo a c h i m L o ew ’s Germany, for whom RB Leipzig full-back Marcel Halstenberg made his debut, came closest to scoring when winger Leroy Sane rattled the crossbar midway through the first half.

US star Solo accuses Blatter of sexual assault

Seminar on health, fitness & supplementation

L I S B O N, N ov 1 1 (Agencies): US women’s football star Hope Solo accused Sepp Blatter of sexual assault on Friday, claiming the disgraced former FIFA president groped her backside at the 2013 Ballon d’Or ceremony.

The 36-year-old Solo, her country’s standout goalkeeper, claimed the 81year-old Blatter pounced as she was about to present an award to her teammate Abby Wambach.

“Sepp Blatter grabbed my a**, it was a few years ago at the Ballon d’Or ceremony just before I got on stage,” Solo told Portuguese newspaper Expresso.

A spokesman for Blatter, however, said the accusation was “ridiculous”.

Solo, a World Cup winner and two-time Olympic champion, made the allegations on the sidelines of the Web Summit being held in Lisbon.

New boys impress as England hold Germany of their year-ending home game with France -- the last team to beat them -- on Tuesday.

England’s injury blight obliged Southgate to name debutants Pickford, LoftusCheek and Tammy Abraham in a tender starting XI and he quickly found himself having to pitch another newcomer into the fray.

In scenes that will have caused consternation to Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho, Jones went down gesturing to his heavily strapped left thigh and had to come off, with Liverpool’s Joe Gomez taking over.

G e r m a n y a l r e a dy looked the more dangerous side by that point, with Sane showing signs of his superlative Manchester City form by crashing a shot against Pickford’s bar from a position on the right.

off the line on the first occasion.

England began to assert themselves as half-time neared, Abraham seeing a shot drift just wide via a deflection off Antonio Rudiger and Jamie Vardy lobbing Marc-Andre ter Stegen, only for Matthias Ginter to head clear.

Vardy went closer early in the second half when he met Kieran Trippier’s cross with a firm downward header, but Ter Stegen got down to his right to paw the ball away.

Loftus-Cheek became more influential as the game wore on, drifting away from challenges and using the ball intelligently, but neither he nor anyone else could provide the spark required to break the deadlock.

England should have won it at the death when Harry Maguire’s backpost header from Marcus Rashford’s free-kick fell to substitute Jesse Lingard six yards from goal, but he wastefully skied his shot over the bar.

She said that sexual harassment at the hands of male officials was a common problem in women’s football.

“I have seen this all of my career and I would like to see more athletes speak about their experiences,” said Solo.

“It’s out of control, not just in Hollywood but

everywhere,” she added in reference to the firestorm of sexual harassment allegations in entertainment, politics and sport ever since the scandal involving Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein unfolded.
