Zunheboto land of peace & prosperity: CM PCC’s 3-day stir at Kohima from Nov 15

D I M A P U R , N ov 1 3 (NPN): Coinciding with Ahuna festival, people of Zunheboto celebrated 75 years of the town on Monday with great pomp and gaiety.

Addressing the mammoth gathering on the occasion at Zunheboto public ground, chief minister, T.R. Zeliang termed the day as a “red-letter day” and extended warm greetings to the people, CMO media cell stated.

From today, he said, Zunheboto that is known as the “land of warriors” be changed and called as the “land of peace and prosperity”. A spirited people, the Sumis are known for their courage, dash and boldness and Zunheboto has produced many well-known Naga leaders.

Zeliang urged the people to strengthen their resolve and look ahead to the future with renewed understanding and hope. “As Zunheboto town marches on to its next milestone of 100 years in another 25 years time, the Sumi people should be agents of transformation so that Zunheboto town will turn into a role model of a 21st century town with an enlightened

Acharya extends Ahuna greetings D I M A P U R , N OV 1 3 (NPN): Nagaland Governor, PB Acharya greeted the Sumi community on the occasion of Ahuna. In his message through PRO, Acharya called upon the Sumi community to thank the Almighty for his unwavering love and blessings. He reminded all to thank the farmers for their hard work, and informed the farmers on some of the welfare projects taken up the Central and State governments - soil testing, Kisan credit card, National Food Security Mission etc. Acharya also urged the Sumis to continue to safeguard and promote the rich culture and traditions and prayed that the festival bring peace, unity and communal harmony to all people.

citizenry,” he appealed.

“It is an occasion to rejoice and jubilate. In the Christian tradition, jubilee is a time to look back at the decades gone by, to remember God’s faithfulness and give thanks to the Almighty, to forgive and forget past differences within individuals, families and clans and look ahead to the future. This is the time to look back and recall the sacrifices made by the founding fathers 75 years ago,” he added.

He said over the years, Zunheboto had g rown steadily from a tiny hamlet to that of an ADC Subdivision in 1958 and subsequently a full-fledged district in December 1973.

“Being forthright by nature, the Sumis have a great capacity to mix freely with others. Zunheboto is uniquely located in the heart of Nagaland, thus sharing traditional boundaries with other Naga tribes like the Angamis, Aos, Chakhesangs, Changs, Lothas, Rengmas, Sangtams and Yimchungers.

Likewise, in the Western and Northern Sumi areas, they share common boundaries with Zeliangs, Kukis, Kacharis, Karbis, Pochury and Assamese, except the Konyaks, Khiamniungans and Phoms. Such geographical proximity with different tribes has allowed the Sumis a unique posi-

tion in terms of inter-tribal relationship-building among communities, thereby being harbingers of creating harmonious co-existence over long periods of time,” he underlined.

The Chief Minister also informed the gathering that the Centre had granted sanction for construction of six roads in the State.

These include the 200-km Showuba-Guzunyu-Pughoboto-Zunheboto-AghunatoNoklak-Pangsha, 280-km Trans Eastern Highway from Mon-Longwa-Pangsha-Kiphire-Avangkhu, 167-km Gandhi Ashram Chuchuyimlang NH-2 to Pangsha (ITC) road, 75km road from Maibung

formers were reported to be outdated and overused.

Power Grid corporation in Nagarjan has informed that one 20 MVA transformer might be available with the Corporation in Ar unachal Pradesh.

However the formalities for transportation, getting it operational and installation would take a few more months.

Since the requirement of transformer capacity for Dimapur is 80 MVA , department officials feel it would be practical to procure 100 MVA to cater to the present as well as future needs. The total cost of the 100 MVA was estimated at Rs.9 crore and other gear and equipments estimated at Rs.5 crore and totalling around Rs.14 crore. It remains to be seen if the state government has the inclination and will to provide the sum not only to serve people but also to earn the revenue.

D imapur , N ov 1 3 (NPN): Since Sunday afternoon of November 12, 2017 two-third (2/3rd) of Dimapur has been without electricity after one 20 MVA transformer at the Nagarjan sub-station burst into flames and was totally damaged.

Power department officials are keeping their fingers crossed that the second 20 MVA transformer which bore the intense heat from the other burning transformer, could be repaired.

This will be known only after it is charged (without load connection) to see if it is still functioning.

However even if the second transformer can be used again, it can only help ease the problem to some extent. Presently only one 20 MVA transformer is supplying power to 1/4th of Dimapur, the remaining 2/3rd being without power.

A statement issued by the PCC media cell said that the protest would start at 10 a.m. demanding setting up of a Lok Ayukta at the earliest, revocation of the decision to scrap ClassIII posts from the purview of Nagaland Public Service Commission (NPSC), declaration of marks and answer keys in all stages of NPSC examinations, (Cont’d on p-8) besides declaring waiting

BJP president Visasolie Lhoungu “without following the BJP party constitution”. However, they regretted that till date the state BJP leaders had not initiated any step to resolve the matter, but had only been involved in creating further misunderstanding and division among the rank and file of Kohima district committee.

“It is utterly regrettable that despite reaffirming our loyalty towards the uplift and success of the BJP in the state, the state BJP Leaders had confused Party workers by involving in vested interest politicking of some unscrupulous individuals and adamant to destroy the Party from the grassroots level,” the statement said.

lists, and immediate termination of all backdoor appointments made after June 6, 2016.

PCC said the state government had time and again paid no heed to the common people’s voice and indulged in activities that could be termed as “repugnant”.

Accusing the government of indulging in antipeople activities, the organisations added that its amateurish publicity stunts had made it a laughing stock, even as the people were being taken for a bumpy ride day in and day out.

Stating that several other states of India had already set up Lok Ayukta, the organisations said setting up the institution in Nagaland would check the menace of corruption.

“The Ombudsman which has its origin in Sweden has been set up in several countries and has shown proven results in curbing

corruption. Why is the government of the day coming up with excuses not to set up Lok Ayukta? Are they afraid to come clean?” the organisations wondered.

The PCC further stated that even as the number of civil service aspirants was increasing every year, the government showed a strange mindset by scrapping Class-III posts from the NPSC’s purview.

“We all know departmental exams are a huge farce. This will open the floodgates of backdoor appointments. So this means 15,000 plus candidates (their numbers will increase in the coming years) will slog it out for some few posts,” the statement added.

The PCC urged every right thinking citizens “tired of anti-people policies” of the State government to be at the sit-in venue New Secretariat Junction.

“Be there to show your resentment, make your voice heard. We are taken for fools and mocked day in and day out. Let us make a sea of people stand in front of the seat of power and show that we can’t take any more mockery from their side,” the statement exhorted.

NEW DELHI, NOV 13 (NPN): North Eastern region is all set to get its first ever “Air Dispensary” based in a helicopter from 2018.

For this, DoNER ministry has already contributed Rs. 25 crore as part of the initial funding for this initiative.

Making this announcement after meeting with representatives of aviation sector and helicopter service/ Pawan Hans, Union DoNER minister, Dr. Singh said his ministry had been exploring the idea of introducing the air dispensary/OPD service for several months. “This could be the Central government’s gift to the people of Northeast,” he said.

The objective is to cover the far flung and remote areas, where no doctor or medical facility is available.

He said the proposal had

been accepted and was in its final stages.

To begin with, Dr. Singh said the helicopter will be based at two locations-- Imphal and Shillong.

Both of these cities have premier postgraduate medical institutes from where specialist doctors, along with the necessary equipment and paramedical staff, would be able to move into the helicopter and hold a dispensary/OPD in different locations across the eight North Eastern states.

On its way back, he said, the same helicopter can transport a sick patient, requiring admission, to a city hospital. Giving an account of other new helicopter service plans, Dr. Singh said, three twin-engine helicopters are planned to be placed for initial operation on six routes in the region around Imphal, Guwahati and Dibrugarh.

IMPHAL, Nov 13: Two soldiers of Assam Rifles were killed and six other injured when a powerful IED exploded early Monday morning in Chandel district.

One soldier identified as rifleman Indra Singh died on the spot while another soldier identified as rifleman Sohan Lal succumbed to his injuries while evacuating to Army hospital in Imphal’s Leimakhong by chopper. The injured soldiers were identified as S Sarkar, N Shyam Kumar, Tirendra Nath Das, Ram Govind Singh, Nirmal Roy and Lalnunpuia.

The bodies of the two slain soldiers have been deposited at JNIMS morgue, Imphal for necessary official procedures late Mon-

day evening.

Meanwhile, residents of Chandel district headquar ters and Chandel Naga Peoples Organization (CNPO) have condemned the IED attack to the security force. Registering a strong protest against the attack, members of the CNPO along with villagers staged a sit-in-protest at DC Lamkhai, Chandel.

All shops and business establishment remained closed.

Villagers of Mahamani, Kanankhu Khurinkhu, Sinadam and Daampi areas participated in the protest.

Later, in a statement issued to the local media, CNPO while vehemently condemning the IED blast at civilian area expressed condolence to the bereaved families of the soldiers killed and also prayed for speedy recovery of the injured jawans.

While terming the attack as an act of cowardice, CNPO said that it considered the blast as “a plot

to disturb and disrupt the peace talk between GoI and NSCN (IM) which is at the threshold to its logical conclusion.”

The CNPO statement further said that if those involved in the blast fails to clarify over the attack with reason within midnight of November 15, it will call 24-hour total bandh from midnight of November 15 at Pallel to Chandel and Chandel to Moreh road.

It further demanded booking of the culprit(s) involved in the blast at the earliest.

RPF/PLA claims responsibility

Pe o p l e L i b e r a t i o n Army (PLA), the armed wing of Revolutionar y People’s Front (RPF) has owned up the IED attack.

In a statement issued to media late Monday evening, the rebel group said that the attack was performed by cadres of “Demolition Unit” of the PLA as a part of armed campaign to regain Manipur’s freedom.

DIBRUGARH, Nov 13 (Agencies): A cluster of huts belonging to suspected illegal migrants was set ablaze by unidentified persons at Mulan Chapori in Margherita on Sunday. Police detained four pro-talks United Liberation Front of Asom (Ulfa) leaders, including the outfit’s former military commander Jiten Dutta, in Tinsukia district in connection with the incident.

Some 15-16 huts had recently come up on a sandbar on the Burhidehing river, a major tributary of the Brahmaputra river, locals said. With rumours going around that the settlers were illegal migrants, Jiten had urged police and the district administration to identify who had constructed the huts in the tribal belt area.

He had also threatened that he would forcefully evict the people if the authorities failed to take action in 10 days. At 5.30am on Sunday, Jiten - accompanied by other Ulfa leaders, cadres and hundreds of locals - set out for the area. Anticipating trouble, a huge police contingent set up a barricade 2 km ahead of the site.

M’laya P/Secys say they cannot be disqualified Correspondent

Shillong, Nov 13: At least ten Meghalaya legislators who quit the post of parliamentary secretaries after the High Court struck down a state law providing such appointments said there is no ground for their disqualification as members of the assembly.

On November 9, the Meghalaya High Court had held invalid the state law providing appointment of parliamentary secretaries in the state, but left it to the Governor to determine the disqualification of the postholders from the assembly.

However, Sujit Dey, the counsel for the ten legislators, said the issue of disqualification becomes “infructuous” since the post of parliamentary secretary itself ceased to exist, out of abundant caution and respect for the court verdict, all parliamentary secretaries had immediately resigned.

Dey had represented Cherak W. Momin, Limison D. Sangma, and Noverfield R. Marak and Sengnam Marak (all Congress legislators), Nationalist Congress Party legislator, Marthon J. Sangma besides four Independent legislators -

State needs central funds for Bridge along NH-37 damaged Bru repatriation: Lalbiakzama Correspondent

Aizawl, Nov 13 (PTI): The Mizoram government would not be able to implement the Centre’s proposal of repatriating over 3,500 Bru families from Tripura in the first week of December for want of funds, a senior state home department official said Monday.

Additional Secretary for Home Lalbiakzama told PTI that the state government had sent a plan to the ministry of home affairs in September, seeking sanction

procure rice from the Food Corporation of India (FCI) for distribution among these families, he said. Thousands of Bru families had migrated to neighbouring Tripura owing to a communal tension triggered by the murder of a game watcher by suspected militants on October 21, 1997. Though a number of them have returned to Mizoram over the years, a sizeable population continued to live in the relief camps of the neighbouring state.

IMPHAL, Nov 13: Vehicular movement along the Imphal-Jiribam section of NH-37, the second lifeline of people of Manipur has been totally halted after a bailey bridge collapsed on Monday.

The bailey bridge on Barak river near Nung Dolan along NH-37 in Tamenglong district collapsed while a goods laden truck was midway. The ill-fated truck (ML

04- B1122) which fell into the river was coming from Jiribam side. However, the driver and the handyman escaped unhurt, said official report.

Following the incident, movement of all vehicles along the highway has been suspended.

Hundreds of goods laden trucks and passenger vehicles coming from both Jiribam and Imphal sides were stranded, reports added.

Aggrieved people of the area have alleged that they are facing enormous hardship due to absence of doctors, medicines and medical equipments.

Hours after the verdict, all the parliamentary secretaries quit their post.

Chief Minister Mukul Sangma, who accepted their resignation, defended their appointment and the law.

The verdict by a division bench of Chief Justice Dinesh Maheshwari and Justice Ved Prakash Vaish came on a PIL filed by state resident Madal Sumer, challenging the “extra constitutional and illegal” appointment of parliamentary secretaries in the state.

In a statement issued here on behalf of the legislators, Dey noted that there is a valid law, Prevention of Disqualification (Members of the Legislative Assembly of Meghalaya) Act, 1970, wherein Section 2 states that a person shall not be disqualified or shall not be deemed ever to have been disqualified for being chosen as, or for being, a member of the Legislative Assembly of Meghalaya by reason of the fact that he holds any of the offices specified in the schedule.

secretary to the government of Meghalaya. The validity of this entry has not been challenged,” he said.

Moreover, Dey said the principle that a legislature has the right to declare any post to be exempted from disqualification under Article 191(1)(a) as in the present case, is a settled law.

“The question of disqualification for holding an ‘office of profit’ is governed

by Article 191 (1) (a) of the Constitution which states that a person will be “disqualified for being chosen as, and for being, a member of the Legislative Assembly or Legislative Council of a State if he holds any office of profit under the Government of India or the government of any State specified in the First Schedule, other than an office declared by the Legislature of the State by law not to disqualify its holder,” Dey said.

Meanwhile, Madal Sumer said that he would soon submit a representation to Governor Ganga Prasad seeking disqualification of all the legislators named in the PIL citing

that “they are no longer legislators for holding office of profit”.

He said that he would also appeal the Governor to dismiss the Congress-led Meghalaya United Alliance government as it has been “reduced to a minority with the disqualification of those legislators, who were appointed as parliamentary secretaries”.

Sumer also demanded the government to direct these legislators to return all the salary and perks from the date of their appointment for serving in the unconstitutional office as they stand disqualified from that date onwards.

On March 12, 2013, Chief Minister Mukul Sangma had administered the oath of office to 18 parliamentary secretaries to assist 12 ministers.

However, independent legislator Lamboklang Mylliem resigned from the post on March 29 last year, citing legal grounds. Parliamentary Secretaries Celestine Lyngdoh and Comingone Ymbon were subsequently made cabinet ministers.

Delhi’s air quality back to ‘severe plus’ category, may get worse

New Delhi, Nov 13 (IANS): The air quality in Delhi-NCR was back to “severe-plus” or “emergency” category towards Monday evening and the monitoring agencies forecast a further rise in toxicity over the next few hours.

The levels of PM2.5 and PM10 continued to rise even as both central and Delhi governments claimed partial relief during the afternoon.

The average Air Quality Index (AQI) in Delhi on Monday at 4 p.m was 463, with PM2.5 recorded at 460 units.

For the entire DelhiNCR, the average was 455 units, with PM2.5 at 452 units. The international permissible limit for PM2.5 -- particles in air with diameter less than 2.5mm -- is 25 units (micro gram per cubic metre), while for India it is 60 units.

Ghaziabad was the most polluted city in the entire NCR, with PM2.5 at an astounding 848 units at 4 p.m -- 33 times the safe limit.

The System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research (SAFAR) initiative of the government said Delhi’s air “may see increase in pollution levels” due to meteorological factors and that a clearer picture would emerge after Tuesday.

The Met office has forecast rains for November 15.

Cong dares BJP to start Parliament’s Winter Session New Delhi, Nov 13 (IANS): The Congress on Monday demanded immediate convening of the Winter Session of Parliament, saying that state polls must not become an excuse for the government to defer it and that any delay will tantamount to an “assault on our democratic traditions”.

The opposition party also questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi as to what his government was scared of that it was “running away” from convening the Winter Session, adding that there were many vital issues of public importance that needed to be urgently discussed in the highest forum of democracy. Congress Spokesperson Manish Tewari said the important issues that need to be discussed include demonetisation and its impact, “failure” vis-a-vis implementation of the Goods and Services Tax, situation in Jammu and Kashmir, “failed policy” towards Pakistan and the Doklam stand-off with China. “Are they scared of being hauled over hot coals of truth,” he asked. He said there

Manish Tewari was a time-honoured tradition that the Winter Session was usually convened in the third week of November. “It is indeed unfortunate. We would like to demand that the Winter Session be convened immediately. Let not an assembly election in one state (Gujarat) or the other become an excuse for the government to run away from facing Parliament,” Tewari said at a media briefing. He said summons were issued to Parliament members about

15 days in advance, asking them to be present for the session. “Today, it is November 13 and there is no sign of the Winter Session, which has been our tradition.” Tewari said there was a certain time table for Parliament and it was so structured that the Budget, Monsoon and Winter Sessions occur in a time-bound manner. “Why is it that the government is not convening the Winter Session,” he asked. Tewari questioned the Prime Minister whether the Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs, which takes a call on the timing of a session, has held its meeting. “If it has not met, why?”

He alleged that the larger issue was the government’s “complete lack of respect for institutions”. “Be it the Reserve Bank of India, the manner in which investigative and law enforcement agencies have been unleashed on opposition leaders, the government’s recalcitrance to finalise the Memorandum of Procedure, which is holding judicial appointments to ransom,” the Congress leader said.

Nagaland Post Vol. XXVII NO. 339 Dimapur, tuesday, November 14, 2017

Collapse of system

B

e it the writing on the wall which the Association of Power Engineers Nagaland(APEN) had pointed to or a situation that was waiting to happen because the state government and the Department of Power(DoP) failed in their respective ways; the power black out in Dimapur since November 12,2017 will probably last for a few months.

The citizens and especially the power consumers are bewildered by the suddenness of one of the 20 MVA transformers blowing up in flames in Dimapur on Sunday afternoon. With one out of the three 20 MVA transformers out of service and the condition of the second yet to be ascertained, the citizens of the commercial capital of Nagaland face a very bleak winter as only 1/4th of Dimapur area will be getting power but that too likely to be disrupted through alternative power cuts. Since the past years Nagaland has been under long duration of load shedding ranging from six or even to 12 hours during peak summer months. At one time, irate public shut down offices of the Department that Power (DoP) in some parts of Nagaland because of the erratic power supply.

The warning against the collapsing system was sounded by the Association of Power Engineers Nagaland(APEN) in public domain in order to make consumer aware about the situation that the department was in. APEN had warmed of a likely and impending collapse of the power system in Nagaland.

APEN went on to point out that the DoP, which is a major department has been gradually experiencing dwindling funds. For instance, APEN said that for the period 2016-17 the DoP received less fund than the preceding financial year. The department suffers financial loss due to the gnawing gap between purchase price and sale price of power. In the past several years, it was almost a regular feature of the department to announce loss amounting to around of over Rs.100 crore annually which was blamed on supposed theft and pilferage. The accumulated total loss from all these has been pegged at around 55% to 60% which is equivalent to 30MW to 40MW out of the total power that the state receives. Due to funds constraints made to bear on it, the DoP cannot buy much needed spare parts to maintain the system and purchase of higher capacity transformers for proper distribution which resulted in frequent breakdowns since the outdated transformers don’t have the capacity to handle higher wattage. The number of consumers has also shot off in geometric proportions during the past decade but the problem for the DoP has been compounded by the government ban on creation of new posts even as more transformers and new power lines put in place. Common wisdom applied would concur that more work would need more people. Appointment of field staff and engineers should not be seen as appointment of clerical staff as in other departments. The DoP requires around Rs.17 crore for immediate purchase of crucial parts that are required to repair and maintain the system and another Rs.23 crore as liabilities. People have a right to know what’s happening and it is time for NGOs to demand the truth so that the cure can be found to this perennial ailment.

DailyDevotion Faith or Experience? …the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. —Galatians 2:20 We should battle through our moods, feelings, and emotions into absolute devotion to the Lord Jesus. We must break out of our own little world of experience into abandoned devotion to Him. Think who the New Testament says Jesus Christ is, and then think of the despicable meagerness of the miserable faith we exhibit by saying, “I haven’t had this experience or that experience”! Think what faith in Jesus Christ claims and provides— He can present us faultless before the throne of God, inexpressibly pure, absolutely righteous, and profoundly justified.

Stand in absolute adoring faith “in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God— and righteousness and sanctification and redemption…” (1 Corinthians 1:30). How dare we talk of making a sacrifice for the Son of God! We are saved from hell and total destruction, and then we talk about making sacrifices!

We must continually focus and firmly place our faith in Jesus Christ— not a “prayer meeting” Jesus Christ, or a “book” Jesus Christ, but the New Testament Jesus Christ, who is God Incarnate, and who ought to strike us dead at His feet. Our faith must be in the One from whom our salvation springs. Jesus Christ wants our absolute, unrestrained devotion to Himself. We can never experience Jesus Christ, or selfishly bind Him in the confines of our own hearts.

Our faith must be built on strong determined confidence in Him. It is because of our trusting in experience that we see the steadfast impatience of the Holy Spirit against unbelief. All of our fears are sinful, and we create our own fears by refusing to nourish ourselves in our faith. How can anyone who is identified with Jesus Christ suffer from doubt or fear! Our lives should be an absolute hymn of praise resulting from perfect, irrepressible, triumphant belief.

Quotes

Good words cool more than cold water. ~ John Ray

A

girl who owned two dogs had suddenly to go to her village. She left the dogs with a girl who ran a dog boarding house and paid her an advance of Rs 1200 at the rate of Rs 150 a day. Two days later she was informed through the email that the dog had run away and they were not taking responsibility as the dog was “badmaash”.

The boarding house is in an abandoned chemical factory in Faridabad run by the daughter of the owner.

She simply locks the dogs in a few rooms. She has one helper. No personalised forms, no doctor, no diets, no mattresses, no bathing, no de-ticking, no attempt to make the dogs comfortable.

When we confronted her, her excuse was that she was doing “seva”.

Another person left his dog for a week in a boarding house in Noida while he went on a trip. The dog started vomiting at night.

The vet refused to treat it because he had no medical history. The night staff had no access to the owner’s phone number so he was only informed the next day.

Then the vet was on leave.

The owner flew back immediately but by then the dog had died.

In another case, the pedigreed dog left for two weeks, in a Kolkata kennel, was rented out as a stud and by the time the owners returned he was weak and hyperstressed.

Dogs who are locked up in small kennels without exercise have returned with dislocated shoulders and wounds from gnawing at the bars or jumping to try and get out. Dogs come back with changed personalities.

In the last two years I have received so many complaints from people who have left their dogs in boarding houses. They

have got them back covered with ticks, sick with kennel cough, parvo or distemper, some have been mauled in a fight with other dogs, or the owners have been informed that the dog has run away or died. “Run away” if the dog is highly pedigreed, could mean the owner of the boarding house has sold it to a breeder.

This has become an unregulated backyard industry with no healthcare or management training.

While breeders and traders are now regulated, boarding kennel operators are still out of the loop – though not for long.

Your pet depends on you to take care of her/him even when you are not there.

If you are going to leave them with a boarding kennel you must make sure it is not like the ones described above. Boarding kennel stress is real. Imagine taking a young child to a strange place and leaving it with people it doesn’t know. The child will more often than not, become distressed and upset. The same thing can happen to dogs. A boarding kennel environment can be especially hard on nervy, anxious dogs.

Signs of kennel stress can manifest in dogs in many ways: excessive barking & whining, loss of appetite. Change of diet may also cause vomiting and diarrhoea, constant licking of the lips, pacing & depression. What you want is a facility that will care for your dog as if it was their own.

Here is the checklist when you need to put him in a boarding house: 1. Your pet should know basic commands and be socialized around people and pets.

2. Accustom your pet to longer kennel stays by first boarding her for a weekend.

This allows you to assess the place before boarding your

Nagaland Post, Dimapur Tuesday, November 14, 2017

Caring for your dog pet for an extended period.

3. Your pet should be vaccinated The core vaccines for dogs are rabies, distemper, parvovirus and adenovirus, and canine kennel cough (Bordatella). Flea and tick prevention should be done.

4. Required vaccinations for cats include rabies, feline panleukopenia, calicivirus and rhinotracheitis.

Cats that are allowed to socialize with other cats should have negative feline leukaemia and feline AIDS status.

5. Take your pet’s medications and special food (if any), your veterinarian’s phone number, and contact information for you and a local backup. Also take something that smells of you.

6. Inform the staff about any medical or behaviour problems your pet has, such as epilepsy or fear of thunder.

The boarding house: 1. Ask your veterinarian to recommend one.

Since they talk to pet lovers every day, they know. Ask dog owners and look at online lists. Check through the web about any experiences others may have had with this facility. After selecting a few kennels, confirm that they can accommodate your pet for specific dates and can address your pet’s special needs. If you’re satisfied, schedule a visit.

2. Always ask to tour the entire facility. If they refuse, leave, as they are probably hiding bad infrastructure.

3. A good kennel should be well lit and airy with sufficient ventilation and temperature control.

The living and playing areas should look and smell clean and be free of waste and urine. The flooring should not permit the absorption of fluids.

4.What kind of paperwork does the place have?

Do they ask you any details about the dog – diet, exercise, sleep, medications, whether the dog wants to socialize, and any other pertinent information. If the facility does not insist on vaccinations, leave immediately.

4. Notice the staff handling of the animals, and relationship between staff and other dogs, during the time of your tour. A wagging tail is usually attached to a happy dog. They should be able to tell you details about every dog and cat under their care. What is their experience and are they trained in first aid and aggressive dog handling?

5. Does each dog have his own adequately sized indoor-outdoor run or an indoor run and a schedule for exercise? Does a fenced area for adequate exercise exist and what are the provisions for daily exercise? This is the law: If a dog is housed at a facility without sensory contact with another dog, it shall be provided with positive physical contact with humans at least once daily.

The opportunity for exercise may be provided in a number of ways. (i) Providing access to a run or open area

(ii) Adequate exercise either in a fenced area or on a leash with a person (iii) Exercising for at least 30 minutes twice per day (iv) Socializing with people at suitable intervals equalling at least three hours per day for adult and five hours for puppies less than four months of age; How large is the community area?

Check outdoor areas to see that there aren’t any gaps in the wall or fence where your dog, especially if it is a small dog, can run out of.

6. Is bedding provided?

How often is it washed.

Bedding should be clean, soft and free of any stains or crusting that may have occurred because of urine or faeces.

7. Are cats housed away from dogs?

8. Is there enough space for cats to move around comfortably?

9. Is there enough space between the litter box and food bowls?

10. How often are pets fed? What is the food?

11. Can the owner bring a pet’s special food?

12. What veterinary services are available? Is the vet experienced? What will they do if your animal gets diarrhoea, breaks a toenail or won’t eat? What are the protocols if your dog needs medical attention?

Is there first aid medicine in the place and is anyone trained to diagnose and use it? All medication must be stored in clean cabinets with well-fitting doors or other suitable containers with well-fitting lids. All medication must be clearly marked, or labelled. Does the kennel have procedures in place so your pet gets her medication at the proper time?

13. Are services available such as grooming, training, bathing?

14. Will someone be on the premises at all times? Is someone checking in on the animals at night.

15. If your pet has health issues, like a weak bladder, blindness, deafness, arthritis, can the staff look after them. These pets will need more personal attention and more time and patience to care for.

16. Is the kitchen clean?

Does it have a clean fridge?

What food is there and how do the owners of the boarding house accommodate personal diets? Are the food receptacles clean?

17. How is the place being cleaned? What type of cleaning products are used? What is done with the excreta?

18. Is water available at all times?

19. Does the facility have fire detection and extinguishers.

20. What is the tick situation?

21. Does the facility have actual rooms and not just basic fence cages with shared walls. Shared fence walls allow your dog and its neighbour to get into a barking competition. A stressed out dog won’t enjoy its time at the hostel if he feels intimidated during the entire stay. Rooms should be spacious and size appropriate for your dog breed.

Doors and gates should be secure so that dogs are kept safe.

22. How will your dog be exercised. Some kennels walk the dogs, others let them out to run in large compounds with other dogs.

If the latter, are they supervised by someone physically present. Even friendly dogs can fall out and a dogfight may ensue. Small and big dogs should not be exercised together in groups. Is there some system in place to divide dogs by play style, size, age, etc. to keep them safe and happy? To join the animal welfare movement contact gandhim@nic.in, www.peopleforanimalsindia.org

Post-mortem Pan-Naga state, Art. 371-A & Pan-India. Part-II

(From previous issue) If we remain confined to politics of factionalism and Indian political affairs we will loss our nation. We need land and people to be a nation. Frame work agreement can be understood as it is intended; as we analyse and understand the motive of the talk interlocutor Shri. R. N. Ravi from the Indian counterpart and the interlocutor Shri. V.S. Atem from Naga counterpart official dialogue on mutual negotiating round. Analyzing the version of R.N. Ravi’s statement, on the subject matter of the competency“ Division of Power”, the Nagas shall exercise absolute power over their land and people. He said that the first point in sharing sovereign power is that Nagas will be the “Master”of their land. And secondly, in case of Mineral and Resources wherever; below and above belongs to the Nagas. Ravi said sharing of power will not be mere semantics or playing with words but that there will be a genuine devolution of power where Nagas will become ‘sovereign-like’ basing on the uniqueness of the Naga history. The Interlocutor pointed out, that at one point of time, Nagas Nationalist groups started with a motive when independence meant sovereignty.

Ravi however explained that, if independence were the only thing that Naga political groups need to talk about, then there would have been no talk. Pan-Naga state is not an independent state of India but part of India. Pan-Naga Hoho so proposed is but Pan India concept.

When asked if the issue of Article 371(A) only covered Nagas of Nagaland, Ravi replied that both the entities(GOI&NAGAS) were talking about Nagas comprehensively and not only Nagas of Nagaland.

He clarified that the negotiating parties were working on how to empower the Nagas in other parts of the country. On inclusive of other NPGs, Ravi said, we want all groups to join and share the ownership. The GOI was serious about other groups joining the consultations and for which invitations were sent. He said that there will be just one Interlocutor each from both the sides and one talk for Naga issue. He said having several Interlocutors and several talks could result in several solutions which would only make a “mockery” of the Naga issue. In regard to include

other NNPGs, Ravi said that he had invited other groups only after signing Aug.3 agreement but he had sent invitations prior to it. He further reiterated, that settlement was not restricted to the NSCN (IM) but with entire Nagas. Ravi mentioned that though the stakeholders were not part of the political dialogue, yet they were part of the peace process and all should have an ownership in the final settlement.

Having understood the practical aspect of the Nagas talk for final count-down, it is pertinent to know how to raise our united voice and rights over our land to the National and international arena. Instead of finding faults and defects in the cause, it is far more important to unite our spirit and struggle for common and inclusive final settlement. We shall no longer brood and break ourselves with our limitations and defectives mistakes of the past but shall jointly exert our concerted effort toward realizing the dream and aspiration of our honourable patriots who have left their legacy of hope to our present generation. That we may rightly carry on to the next generation with all honesty. Our Naga future lies on our political struggle we are making today. Every Naga citizen is equally responsible for solution or dissolution. However, we need to seriously ponder upon the aspect of the current political trend that is taking us in a direction we never thought before. We need an enduring political discernment. For our secure or insecure future lies in what we decide today. I appeal to all Naga politicians to take a secure step and stand upon which foundation we shall live together as a people and nation. We shall not fail and fall again like the past but go higher-ward with the unfailing grace and abiding guidance of our Lord God in the battle front.

The article is of my personal views and concern shared with the intention that discerning readers may create a positive and conducive climate for early and honourable settling of the Indo-Naga conflict on a solid agreement of understanding, respect and recognition of each others’ right between the two entities.

Stand together for a better future

H

ow long or how many generations are we going to talk about our state being under developed? In recent years, developments like employment opportunity in public as well as in private sectors have come up.

But these openings are too little as compared to the requirements of the youths. The question is; Do the governmet undertakes long run benefit or sustainable development programs for the citizens as a whole? The answer could be negative. In spite of very few opportunities been available for the whole State, justice and fair means in filling up the vacancies are still under attacked on the ground of favouritism and political. The government of the day is unable to meet the major need of the people especially in handling our youths’ employment issue. Representatives of different constituencies are also seems to be working on favouritism ground.

Students and children may be 20 percent of this generation but they are 100 percent of our future. However, the government, instead of taking proper measure and care for their development and career, seems like exploiting the students and creating a serious effect on their lives. The non disbursement of Scholarship by the concerned authority is affecting

the students especially to those who are waiting for it to clear their fees and to pay their fees for the upcoming academic semester or year. The students are indebted with loans and financial problems that are affecting their future course of studies. This is the most discontentments that students have with the government every year and will continue to have discontentment till the justice is done-that is the disbursement of scholarship in full. It is also sad on the part of the students to have experienced the fact that education department is alleged to be one of the most corrupted departments in the state. Another problem faced by our educational system is the appointment of teachers on favouritism and not based on qualification. This is effecting the education of the students especially the primary and secondary students. Many primary and secondary students are suffering from either lack of teachers or unqualified teachers which are affecting their studies.

The government fails to undertake measures best suited for the benefit of the students.

Road condition is another problem faced by people in the state. Accidents happen and vehicles are being destroyed mainly due to bad and deteriorating roads. Pedestrians find it difficult

to walk on roadside due to narrow roads and in fact they end up in meeting accidents. When it is raining the road has turned into streams and during dry season it used to become dusty causing serious health hazards.

Yet, the so called ‘VIPs’ do not care about the people, traffic and other vehicles in spite of narrow and deteriorating roads.

These evidences are clear enough that the young people and students have doubts and question about the governance system of our state. We talk about the corrupt practice of our government. We talk how; the so called “leaders” have exploited the poor and the dependant people in both urban and rural areas. No matter how good their speeches and promises may be, ‘we doubt their leadership´. ‘Enough is Enough’, we have seen enough comments on present day government. It is enough to keep on talking and commenting. It is time for every young people to wake up and realize the truth and do the right thing to secure our future. It is also the responsibility of everyone to be faithful and responsible for a better future. Let us stand together to bring about change and a better future so that we may live in harmony and peace.

Sir,

Education not to be compromised

Education is one of the most important human activity. It was born with the birth of the human race and shall continue to function as long as the human race lives. In support of the primary and elementary education, the government of India has provided mid-day meal to the student from classes 1 to 8 under government/government aided schools since last many years, however, the implementation of the mid-day meal in the state is not upto the expectation of the people till date.

As per the guideline and the provision of the scheme, every student from classes 1 to 8 under government/ government aided school is entitled to get Rs. 4.13 and Rs. 6.18 and good grains 100 grams and 150 grams per student per day for primary and upper primary respectively. Spot verification conducted by Kohima APP last week at schools chosen randomly revealed that in many schools midday meal is not implemented properly due to lack of awareness about the scheme. The government and the concerned department should stop taking advantage of ignorance due to lack of awareness existing at the grass root level. Every student should be provided according to their entitlement as well as quality education. The school Education department has recently issued order for detachment of those teachers attached to various office without performing their actual duty. This kind of order is to be supported by all the citizens where quality education system is needed in the society. Education should not be compromised at any cost.

than Rs 20,000 crore had the two been moved a slab lower.

“We need revenue as well,” said the state government official.

But eventually, the 28% slab would be left with very few items, mostly in the luxury and sin-goods category.

Other increasingly common-use items that are still in the 28% slab include air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, vacuum cleaners and digital cameras. In all, more than 50 items still remain on the 28% list.

A committee headed by chief economic adviser Arvind Subramanian had suggested a revenue-neutral rate of 15-15.5%, with a strong preference for the lower end of that range. It had recommended a standard rate — for services and most goods — of 17-18%, high or non-GST excise rate of 40% for items such as luxury goods and tobacco, and a low rate of 12% for essential goods.

under GST. The government has set up a group with industry representation to review the tax regime, which has since its July 1 launch been criticised for having too many rates and being burdensome to comply with.

The latest recast, decided at a GST Council meeting in Guwahati last week, has seen the 18% rate emerging as the dominant slab with nearly half the goods, apart from most of the services, now taxed at that rate.

The Guwahati meeting decided to move 178 items to the 18% rate from 28% and cut the GST on eating at restaurants to 5% from Monday, in a decision that would reduce tax revenue

by Rs 20,000 crore.

New Delhi, Nov 13 (Agencies): The next rejig of goods and services tax will likely focus on the lower end of the rate slabs, as the country seeks to further streamline the structure by converging multiple rates into two or three. It will happen after the regime settles down and there is more clarity on revenue following the recast last week, reports ET. Simplification of laws, rules and procedures in line with industry’s feedback is also likely to top the GST Council’s agenda in the next few meetings.

The rates on some items such as cement and paint, still left at the highest rate of 28%, could be brought down if tax revenue remains robust.

A top official with a state government said the focus would now be to recast the lower 12% and 5% rate slabs. Other issues to be considered by the council are inclusion of real estate and petroleum products

Powerful earthquake on Iran-Iraq border kills over 400

T e h r a n, N ov 1 3 (Agencies): A powerful 7.3 magnitude earthquake near the Iraq-Iran border killed over 400 people across both countries, sent residents fleeing their homes into the night and was felt as far away as the Mediterranean coast, authorities said Monday.

Iran’s western Kermanshah province bore the brunt of the temblor Sunday night, with authorities saying the quake killed 407 people in the country and injured 6,700. Kermanshah is a rural, mountainous region where residents rely mainly on farming.

In Iraq, the earthquake killed at least seven people and injured 535, all in the country’s northern Kurdish region, according to Iraq’s Interior Ministry.

The quake was centered 31 kilometers outside the eastern Iraqi city of Halabja, according to the most recent measurements from the US Geological Survey. It struck at 9:48 pm Iran time, just as people began retiring for the night.

It could be felt on the Mediterranean coast, some 1,000 kilometers away.

The earthquake struck 23.2 kilometers below the surface, a shallow depth that can amplify damage. Magnitude 7 earthquakes can be highly destructive.

Iranian social media and news agencies showed images and videos of people fleeing their homes. More than 100 aftershocks followed.

The quake’s worst damage appeared to be in

the town of Sarpol-e-Zahab in Kermanshah province, which sits in the Zagros Mountains that divide Iran and Iraq. Kokab Fard, a 49-year-old housewife in Sarpol-e-Zahab, said she fled empty-handed when her apartment complex collapsed.

Sarpol-e-Zahab residents said the power and water were out and telephone and cellphone lines were spotty. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei offered his

condolences on Monday morning and urged rescuers and government agencies to do all they could to help those affected, state media reported. President Hassan Rouhani is scheduled to tour earthquake-damaged areas tomorrow.

The semi-official ILNA news agency said at least 14 provinces in Iran had been affected by the earthquake.

Behnam Saeedi, a spokesman for the country’s crisis management headquarters, told two semi-official news agencies that casualty figures stood at 407 killed and 6,700 injured.

In Iraq, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi issued a directive for the country’s civil defense teams and “related institutions” to respond to the natural disaster. Brig.

Gen. Saad Maan, an Interior Ministry spokesman, gave the casualty figures for Iraq.

The quake could be felt across Iraq, shaking buildings and homes from Irbil to Baghdad, where people fled into the streets of the capital.

Qatar, Morocco vow to boost ties amid blockade

US, India cooperation can rise beyond bilateral ties: PM Modi to Trump

Rabat, Nov 13 (IANS): Morocco and Qatar vowed to enhance bilateral cooperation, while hailing the “excellent relations” between the two countries. The two sides made the pledge on Sunday during a meeting between visiting Moroccan King Mohammed VI and Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani in Doha, Xinhua reported citing MAP news agency.

After a broad meeting that included top officials from both countries, the two leaders held a private meeting. The meetings “touched on the excellent relations between the two brotherly countries and the firm will by the two leaders to further reinforce cooperation in the different areas,” the report said. The two heads of state also discussed regional and international topics of shared interest, it added, without disclosing details.

The Moroccan King arrived in Qatar after paying a five-day visit since Tuesday to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which is part of the Saudi Arabia-led coalition that has cut ties with Qatar and imposed a full blockade on Doha.

MANILA, Nov 13 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday held wideranging talks with US President Donald Trump and told him that both nations can rise beyond bilateral ties and work jointly for the future of Asia, reflecting their growing convergence on strategic issues in the Indo-Pacific region.

In the meeting which took place on the sidelines of the ASEAN summit in the Philippines, Modi also assured Trump that India will try to “live up to the expectations” of the US and the world and thanked the US President for speaking “highly” about India during his trips. The meeting came a day after officials of India, the US, Japan and Australia held their talks to give shape to the much talked about quadrilateral alliance to keep the strategically important Indo-Pacific region free, open and inclusive.

“The cooperation between India and US can rise beyond bilateral cooperation and both countries can work for the future of Asia and the world...We are moving ahead together on many issues,” Modi said.

The US has been pitching for greater Indo-US cooperation in the strategically key Indo-Pacific region where China has been ramping up its military presence.

“Wherever President Trump has gone and wherever he got an opportunity to talk about India, he spoke very highly about India. He expressed optimism about India and I am assuring that the expectation the world has, the expectation the US has, India has been trying to live up to that expectation and will continue to do it,” said Modi.

Trump on his part described Modi as a friend.

“It’s great to have Prime Minister Modi here.

We’ve had him at the White House, and he’s become a friend of ours and a great gentleman doing a fantastic job in bringing around lots of factions in India -bringing them all together,” Trump said according to the transcript released by the White House. “It’s a lot of good reports coming out of India. So I want to congratulate you,” he told Modi.

The two leaders are understood to have discussed the security scenario in the region besides several other

issues of mutual interests including ways to further boost bilateral trade.

The move to set up the quadrilateral alliance comes in the backdrop of growing Chinese assertiveness in the South China Sea. The US has been favouring a larger role for India in the strategically key IndoPacific region. The use of the term “Indo-Pacific” by President Trump has led to speculation that it may have something to do with Washington preparing the ground for a revival of the so called Quadrilateral strategic alliance between US, Japan, Australia and India to counter China’s rise.

Tr u m p o n Fr i d ay praised India’s “astounding” growth after it opened up its economy and also lauded Modi, saying he has been working successfully to bring the vast country and its people together. Speaking at a gathering of CEOs on the side-lines of the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in the Vietnamese city of Danang, President Trump cited India as one of the countries in the Indo-Pacific region making strides.

M a d r i d, N o v 1 3 (IANS): Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has said regional elections next month in Catalonia will help end “separatist havoc” in the northeastern region.

He addressed a campaign event on Sunday on his first visit there since imposing direct rule on the region a fortnight ago, BBC reported.

Defending his decision in Barcelona, he said he had “exhausted all roads” after the Catalan government’s unilateral declaration of independence last month.

Several key Catalan leaders are currently being detained over the move.

The crisis was sparked by a disputed referendum held in Catalonia in October, which had been declared illegal by the Spanish courts.

Catalan officials said the independence campaign won 92 per cent of the vote, from a turnout of 43 per cent. Many of those who were against independence did not cast votes, refusing to recognise the legitimacy of the referendum.

The Catalan government subsequently declared independence. In response, the Spanish government dissolved the region’s parliament, imposed direct rule and called a snap regional election on December 21.

M a d r i d, N ov 1 3 (IANS): Argentina star Lionel Messi said he was embarrassed to make a comeback to international football after announcing his retirement during the 2014 World Cup. “(Retiring) was a decision I made in the heat of the moment,” the fivetime Ballon D’Or holder was quoted as saying by Spanish website Marca on Sunday.

“But I was embarrassed to say that I wanted to come back. (The coach at the time, Edgardo) Bauza and my team-mates made everything easy for me to return to,” Messi added.

The 30-year-old said that at his age he sees things in a different manner and is far more relaxed than earlier.

Man City can be beaten, says De Bruyne Manchester, Nov 13 (IANS): Manchester City key midfielder Kevin De Bruyne said the English Premier League (EPL) ongoing season table toppers can be defeated.

After 11 matches in EPL, the Manchester club are unbeaten, winning 10 matches and drawing one.

“You have so many games and too many important games,” the Belgian international was quoted saying by Sky Sports.

“The power of the Premier League means every team has a lot of money and every team has a lot of quality players. So I think one day or another you will face a team who find a system to beat you or they have a better day,” De Bruyne added.

The 26-year-old also said Manchester City were playing positive football this season and they want to continue in the same manner.

“Everybody is in the same spirit. We want to play the football that we play,” De Bruyne added.

In a tense conclusion, the hosts broke Rogers again but the American pair would not buckle despite the intense atmosphere of a Minsk crowd desperate to see a first home Fed Cup triumph. Sabalenka dropped serve again to send the set to the tiebreak where the expe-

rienced US duo triumphed.

In Sunday’s early match Sabalenka and Vandeweghe both played with confidence under the watchful gaze of Belarus president Alexander Lukashenko on the hard-court at the packed Minsk Chizhovka 8,000seat arena.

The 25-year-old American took the opening set after 50 minutes winning it in a tiebreak.

In the second Sabalenka, who is 78th in the world, suddenly lost her nerve allowing Vandeweghe to break twice before she took the set and the match sealing her victory with an accurate backhand.

Later Sunday, US Open champion Stephens, 24, broke her rival’s serve early in the opening set to lead 1-0 after 42 minutes.

But in the second Sasnovich broke twice to level at one set all after one hour 10 minutes on court.

In the deciding set, Stephens led 5-2 before Sasnovich, 23, roared back with four straight games before eventually closing it out 8-6 as Stephens suffered her sixth straight defeat since winning her maiden Grand Slam title in New York in September.

“The conditions are ideal for preparing leading into Melbourne (Open) and the whole Australian swing. I think it’s the best way to start off alongside the best players in the world,” Raonic said.

Japan’s Nishikori, ranked 22, is lining up his eighth trip to the Brisbane International, starting on December 31.

Nishikori, who fell to Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov in this year’s final, says his aim is to go one better in 2018. “I hope I can make the final, but my goal is to win the tournament. It’s the first tournament of the year so I’ll try and have a great tournament,” he said.

Zverev makes dream London debut

L o n d o n, N ov 1 3 (Agencies): Germany’s rising star Alexander Zverev made a dream debut at the ATP Finals as he battled past Wimbledon finalist Marin Cilic in three sets on Sunday evening.

Zverev, who is the youngest Tour Finals qualifier since Juan Martin del Potro in 2008, fought back from a break down in the deciding set to record a 6-4 3-6 6-4 victory.

The towering 6ft 6in 20-year-old had already underlined his emergence with five titles this year, extending his winning run over Cilic to four matches as the budding star enthralled spectators at the O2 Arena.

Zverev is bidding to become the first German to end the year in the world’s top three since Boris Becker in 1994, and he made a blistering start by breaking his opponent in a rip-roaring opening game.

by winning the opening three games of the next set before Zverev got on the board, but he was always playing catch-up and it wasn’t long before the 29year-old set up a deciding set shoot-out.

Cilic made the first breakthrough, but Zverev, the winner of two Masters series trophies this year, responded to level at 3-3.

The growing frustrations of the giant Croat became evidently clear when he served to stay in the match, but it was Zverev’s clean hitting and bravery which proved to be the match-winner.

“For the most part of

the second and third set he was the better player,” Zverev said in a courtside interview. “I was just happy to come back and win. If you have the opportunity to play here you have to take it. We both played well today, but I’m happy to get the win.”

“It is different walking on here than any other stadium. The crowd, the atmosphere is amazing,” Zverev, who revelled on the big stage, told reporters after the late-night finish.

“It was a privilege to be their coach and manager tonight,” Northern Ireland coach Michael O’Neill said, calling his team’s exit “a devastating moment.”

“It was decided by a really poor decision and a penalty that should never have been,” O’Neill said.

O’Neill shared tearful embraces with some of his players at the final whistle, and a long hug with Swit-

Sebastian Vettel wins Brazilian Grand Prix

Sao Paulo, Nov 13 (IANS): Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel won his fifth race of the Formula One season at the Brazilian Grand Prix to all but secure second place in the driver’s championship.

Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas took second place while Kimi Raikkonen claimed third in his Ferrari at the Interlagos circuit on Sunday, Xinhua news agency reported.

Lewis Hamilton, who clinched his fourth world title in Mexico last month, finished fourth in his Mercedes.

“Initially I had a very good getaway and then I had

a bit of wheel spin,” Vettel said on the podium.

“So I thought ‘ah I missed my chance’ but I think Valtteri was struggling even more off the line. So I really had a chance to squeeze down the inside and I think I surprised him a bit.”

Bottas began in pole position but was overtaken

by Vettel on the first corner and was unable to get back in front of the German.

The safety car was deployed almost immediately after Haas driver Romain Grosjean bumped into the side of Force India’s Esteban Ocon.

Daniel Ricciardo’s

hopes were all but dashed shortly after when his Red Bull Renault veered off the track following a crash that ended the race for Stoffel Vandoorne and Kevin Magnussen.

Revelling at the front of the pack, Hamilton did not give Bottas a chance to pass him, but the contest further back was intense.

Hamilton rekindled memories of his effort here in 2009, when he recovered from 17th to secure third.

The Briton could not quite replicate that effort, though he will not have been displeased after skilfully weaving his way past most of the field.

Australian driver Ricciardo also showed great dexterity to come back to sixth.

In his farewell Grand Prix in front of his home crowd, Williams driver Felipe Massa took seventh place, drawing a thunderous reception from the fans as he crossed the line.

The next and final face of the Formula One season will be in Abu Dhabi on November 27.
