‘65% unemployed youths willing to work outside’ Staff Reporter
D I M A P U R , N OV 1 5 (NPN): New data that suggests 65% of Naga youths in the age group of 18-25 were willing to work outside Nagaland. This was disclosed by principal consultant and advisor/advisor to the skill missions of multiple state governments, Aditya Baran Mallik during the press conference for the “Nagaland career workshop and job mela” at Hotel Saramati on Wednesday. Mallik underlined that the job mela which would be held from November 17 to 18 would be beneficial to a lot of youths and hoped that a decent number of them would be employed through this fair. “When we spoke to the job seekers at the village level, they said that the main problems that they faced concerning jobs were mainly because they knew nothing
about the industry. They had no idea what kind of jobs and industries existed and how to reach the companies as most of them did not operate in Nagaland”, Mallik said. He further added that 73% of the candidates were interested in self-employment and therefore there would be full-fledged career workshops during the job fair. “There are no middlemen, malpractices or fees involved and all the jobs will have statutory benefits. For the candidates of Nagaland, a special benefit would be the boarding and lodging support so when they migrate to other locations, they would not find any difficulties”, Mallik said. When asked about the safety of North Eastern youths who would be placed in cities where they are vulnerable to racial abuses, Mallik said that there would be a lot safeguards as they
would focus only on jobs where only nationally and internationally reputed companies would be involved. “Only national training partners are allowed to participate in this programme, as a result, the training quality is very high”, he said. When further asked if any measures have been taken up from the side of the government of Nagaland, parliamentary secretary, labour & employment, skill development & entrepreneurship, Neiphrezo Keditsu said that as of now they had not outlined any steps but promised they would look into it. Keditsu said that the job fair would serve as an opportunity for Naga youths, especially the educated and unemployed to embrace private sectors. He said that the normal recruitment processes include a lot of training yet this job fair would be more like a direct
was “just, noble, honest and genuine and to those who are working for the good of the public and in the interest of the citizens of Nagaland”. He also appealed for peace and airing grievances to the government of the day without resorting to violence and “in a way that was peaceful and democratic”. NBCC representative Rev. Vikuo Rhi appreciated PCC move and said Church was for the people and welfare of the younger generation. He said Naga society desperately needed healing – political, social and religious – as it had experienced “enough corruption not only politically, but in Church as well”. He called for standing up for truth without fear and heed to the call of Nagas for change. ACAUT convenor Joel Naga said they would not return home till their demands were met, adding that politicians and bureaucrats had failed the youth, but not the Church. He thanked the church leaders and said the youth were encouraged with their presence. (Cont’d on p-7)

NEW DELHI, NOV 15 (AGENCIES): Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to consider whether its 11year-old judgement dealing with the issue of application of the ‘creamy layer’ for reservation to SC and ST categories in promotion in government jobs needs to be revisited. The top court said that a five-judge Constitution Bench will examine the limited issue as to whether the 2006 verdict delivered in M Nagaraj and other versus Union of India was required to be re-looked at or not. A bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and justices A K Sikri and Ashok Bhushan clarified that it was not going into the correctness of the verdict. The M Nagaraj verdict had said that the creamy layer concept cannot be applied to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes for promotions in government jobs like two earlier verdicts of 1992 Indra Sawhney and others versus Union of India (popularly called Mandal Commission verdict) and 2005 E V Chinnaiah versus State of Andhra Pradesh, which dealt with creamy
layer in Other Backward Classes category. The apex court was hearing a batch of petition which arose from a Bombay High Court order quashing two state government resolutions terming them as ultra vires to Art. 16(4A) of the Constitution. Several other states have also approached the apex court on the issue. Maharashtra government, through its resolution in 2004, had granted reservation to SC & ST and DeNotified Tribes, Nomadic Tribes, Special Backward Category and Other Backward Classes in job promotion. The issue cropped up as a bench of Justices Kurian Joseph and R Banumathi had referred a matter to the Constitution bench which also related to creamy lawyer for reservation of SC/ST in government jobs. The two-judge bench had said that clarity was required on the applications in creamy layer in situation of competing claims within the same races, communities, groups or parts thereof of SC/ST communities notified by the President under Articles 341 and 342 of the
Constitution. The bench had sought clarification on Article 16(4), 16 (4A) and 16(4B) of the Constitution of India, which deals with the power of state government to make provisions for reservation of appointments or posts in favour of any backward class of citizens which, in the opinion, was not adequately represented in the services under the state. It had further said that the state was not bound to make reservation for SC/ ST in matter of promotions. “However, if they wish to exercise their discretion and make such provision, the State has to collect quantifiable data showing backwardness of the class and inadequacy of representation of that class in public employment in addition to compliance of Article 335,” the 2006 judgement stated. It had also clarified that even if the state has compelling reasons, as specified, the state would have to see that its reservation provisions does not lead to excessiveness so as to breach the ceiling-limit of 50% or obliterate the creamy layer or extend reservation indefinitely.

Decline in import of animal husbandry products Staff Reporter
D I M A P U R , N OV 1 5 (NPN): Import of animal husbandry products by Nagaland government has come down marginally. As per a latest sample survey report of the Veterinary department 2016-17, the import of animal husbandry products by State had come down to Rs 212.98 crore from Rs 214.74 crore in 2014-15. This was disclosed by deputy director Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Services, Dr Kuokehebi Gwirie while addressing an orientation programme for veterinarians and paraveterinarians at Town Hall here on Wednesday. He also pointed out that out of the total requirements of products worth Rs 1,116.40 crore, the State produced only 52%, leaving behind a shortfall of 48% worth Rs 814.53 crore.
He said despite the gap in terms of demand and supply, the quantum of import of animal husbandry products had gradually reduced, as compared with the base level of 2001-2002, which in monetary terms stood at Rs 375 crore. Therefore, in order to meet growing requirement for domestic products – meat, milk and egg – in the State, Kuokehebi called upon the veterinarians and para-veterinarians to shift focus on commercial farming by utilising technology. “We need traditional system but, to increase productivity, we need to adopt new technology,” he added. He pointed out that the department has set priorities and vision to achieve self-sufficiency in meat, milk and egg in the State. Parliamentary Secretary (Information and Tech-
nology) Dr I Longriniken, who was the chief guest at the inaugural programme, informed the participants from all the districts that as professionals it was their duty to venture out and create avenues for unskilled youth. He reminded them of their role and duties – not remain confined to only dealing with animals, but also fill the existing gap between the demand and availability of livestock products. According to Dr Longriniken, Nagaland had sufficient scope for livestock entrepreneurs, but there was a huge gap between demand and availability of livestock products. He, therefore, urged the veterinarians to perform their duties with sincerity and honesty, which would help create thousands of jobs for the unskilled youth that would boost the State’s
economy. He also urged the veterinarians and para-veterinarians to equip themselves with the latest techniques and knowledge so that they could execute their assigned tasks without much difficulty. Short speech on behalf of Nagaland Veterinary Field Assistants’ Association (NVFAA) was delivered by its president Tokiho. The programme was chaired by Joint Director Dr Aomangyang Walling. Meanwhile, the 18th general conference of NVFAA will be held on Thursday. Resource persons NLDB Programme Officer Dr Keduzol Ltu and Dr Vikshe of VAS will speak on the topics “Sensitization on emerging diseases” and “Importance of deworming and mineral supplements” respectively. It will be followed by election of new office bearers. K Y M C

Immense potential of agrobased industries in Meghalaya
Ganga Prasad Correspondent
Umiam, Nov 15: Meghalaya Governor, Ganga Prasad on Wednesday said that there is immense potential of agro-based industries in Meghalaya while acknowledging the abundance of the natural resources and the recent increase in its agricultural produce in the state. “Food processing sector in India is one of the largest in terms of production consumption, export and growth prospects,” he was addressing the gathering at the inaugural session of the one-day conference on “Linking Startups and SMEs in Food Processing with Government Schemes & Markets”, organized by the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industries of India (ASSOCHAM) in collaboration with Ministry of Food & Processing Industries and ICAR Research Centre for NEH Region, Umiam. Emphasizing the need for developing the food processing sector in the region, Prasad said that a significant proportion of the agriculture produce get wasted during transition from place of production to consumption as well as
during storage. Therefore, he said, the central government has accorded priority to the development of this sector with a number of schemes for infrastructure development, fiscal relief and incentives. He added, through all these measures efforts have been made to encourage commercialization and value addition to agriculture produce, minimize post harvest wastage, generate employment and boost exports of processed food. Enumerating the achievements of Meghalaya in various agricultural produce, Mr Prasad said that besides the major food crops of rice and maize, the state is also renowned for its horticultural crops like orange, lemon. He said the state has achieved significant success in the cultivation of nontraditional crops like tea, cashew nut, oilseeds, tomato, mushroom, wheat, etc and that it is enough potential for setting up a starch based processing unit in the State. Plantation crops like coffee, rubber, black pepper and arecanut are also becoming important products of the state, he said. Prasad said that a major breakthrough has been achieved in tea cultivation and that tea gardens have come up in various parts of the State. Referring on the Prime Ministers vision of “doubling farmer’s income”, he said that modern technologies should reach far-flung districts of the state to increase the revenue generation, which subsequently will lead to the development of the nation.

Garos threaten massive agitation for ‘Garoland’
Garo Hills State Movement Committee threatens of intensive agitation. Correspondent
Tura, Nov 15: The Garo Hills State Movement Committee (GHSMC) on Wednesday threatened to launch a “massive democratic agitation” to put pressure on the central and state government creation of Garoland, to be carve out of tribal Garo inhabited areas in Meghalaya and Assam. The GHSMC -- a conglomeration of several Garo organisations, including the Garo National Council (GNC), a regional political party -- said that their demand was on the linguistic lines of the States Reorganisations Act, 1956. “The demand for creation of Garoland has been a longstanding demand of the Garo people. We will continue to go to the people and explain to them
on the need of a separate state,” GHSMC Chairman, Nikman Marak said on the sidelines of a public rally demanding for Garoland. Over a thousand people from the five districts of Garo Hills attended the “Mega Garoland Rally”. “If the state government is willing, they can take up the issue with the centre and help us to achieve our goal for creation of a Garoland state. We will not sit idle and will launch a massive democratic agitation to press the government to create a separate Garoland,” Marak said. On August, the GSHMC had submitted a memorandum to President Ramnath Kovind, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Rajnath Singh, among others demand the creation of Garoland.
Meghalaya became an autonomous state in 1971 and a full-fledged state on January 21, 1972. The GNC, one of the oldest regional political parties, has been demanding creation of Garoland for over two decades. However, it does not have any representatives in the 60-member Meghalaya Assembly. However, it has three members in the Garo Hills Autonomous District Council. On March 18, 2014, the Meghalaya Assembly had rejected a resolution for the creation of a separate “Garoland” state in Garo Hills in the western part of the state. IANS adds: The Garo H i l l s S t a t e M ove m e n t Committee (GHSMC) on Wednesday threatened to launch a “massive demo-
Why stop non-veg food sale at hospital, asks Meghalaya party Shillong, Nov 15 (IANS): Meghalaya’s opposition Hill State People’s Democratic Party (HSPDP) on Wednesday voiced concern at “stopping” of sale of non-vegetarian food at the gover nment-owned North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences (NEIGRIHMS). In a letter to Union Health and Family Welfare Minister J.P. Nadda, HSPDP legislator Ardent Miller Basaiawmoit said sale of non-vegetarian food at the super specialty hospital has been stopped since D.M. Thappa joined as
Director of the medical institute. “The public has approached us (HSPDP) and vented their anger. We have sent our investigating team and found some truth in it. This is ill-founded on the part of the Director of NEIGRIHMS,” Basaiawmoit said. “This is an attack on the food habits of the indigenous people of northeast and has not been taken in good taste,” the HSPDP legislator wrote. Condemning this act, Basaiawmoit urged Nadda to direct the institute authorities to restore the sale of non-vegetarian food at

NEIGRIHMS has been designed on the lines of the premier All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi, and Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) in Chandigarh. The hospital was built at an estimated cost of Rs 420 crore and has a 30-bed 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.

Sikkim: BJP keen on emerging as alternative to SDF
Gangtok, Nov 15 (PTI): Senior BJP leader P Murlidhar Rao today said his party will project itself as an alternative to the ruling Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF), headed by Chief Minister Pawan Kumar Chamling, in the 2019 assembly polls. Seeking to blunt the SDF’s rhetoric that national parties were ignorant of the aspirations of the local people, Rao said his party will seek to take along all communities and accommodate their expectations before taking a plunge in electoral battlefield in the Himalayan state. “We are working at grass root level in Sikkim with an aim to project our party as a viable alternative to the SDF in the next assembly polls, due in 2019,” he told reporters. The BJP national general secretary, who is on a two-day visit to Sikkim to review activities of workers here, said his party will strive to provide a corruption-free government on twin agendas of development and good governance if elected to power. Rao’s visit to Sikkim comes nearly a month after another BJP leader Ram Madhav, the party’s Jammu and Kashmir and NorthEast in-charge, visited the place and held a closeddoor meeting with the Chief Minister’s younger brother R N Chamling, an independent MLA from Rangang-Yang yang in South District.

Centre must resume talks with outfits using B’desh soil: Sarkar Agartala, Nov 15 (PTI): Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar has urged the Centre to restart peace dialogue with the insurgent outfits who have their hideouts in neighbouring Bangladesh. “Following the requests from the insurgent outfit, National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT), the central government held three rounds of tripartite talks with the outfit and the state government,” Sarkar said. But for the last couple of months, no such dialogues took place, he added. “So, I would request the central government to restart the dialogue for peace in the state,” Sarkar told the assembly last evening. He said the state government has intelligence inputs that the terror out-
Manik Sarkar fit, which is still using the soil of Bangladesh, would support a non-left political party, Indigenous People’s Front of Tripura (IPFT), if it contested in the next assembly elections scheduled to be held in February next year. “Peace and tranquillity was established in the state after many decades of insurgency and it would be disastrous for the state if NLFT supported IPFT
in the next elections,” he added. The IPFT had been campaigning for a separate state since 2009 by carving out the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC), which constitutes two-thirds of the state territory and the home to the tribals who form a third of the state’s population. Sarkar, who is also the Home Minister of the state, said former chief of banned All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF), Ranjjit Debbarma was arrested from Khowai district recently for delivering seditious lecture in a public meeting. Debbarma was pushed back from Bangladesh in 2012 by that country’s authorities and was arrested by the state police subsequently. He was granted bail by a court in 2015.
Assam govt plans more concessions for industries Guwahati, Nov 15 (IANS): The Assam government, which is aiming to transform Guwahati into a gateway to South East Asia, is working on ways to provide “more industrial concessions” from its own resources to woo investors to the state, a minister said. The state government is expected to come out with a definite policy on the matter during the upcoming “Global Investors’ Summit” to be held here in the first week of February next year. “We are thinking to provide more industrial concessions from own resources. The concessions will be in addition to what the Centre is providing. We have been conducting meetings to weigh whether we can go little beyond the policies an-
nounced by the Government of India. “We are also discussing whether the state can provide interest subventions and others,” state’s Finance Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Tuesday evening. The state would announce several initiatives at the upcoming investment conclave, he said, adding that hopefully, “by the time conclave commences, the state would be able to put forth a definite policy” before the industries. Inaugurating FMCG company Emami’s third manufacturing plant at Pacharia in Kamrup district on Tuesday, Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal said the north-eastern state had geared up to become the gateway of South East Asia.

n National Press Day, there is much to ponder about the state of the media in India and whether it is able to play its role as a free, fair and independent watchdog of society and if not, then why? US-based Freedom House rates India in its Freedom of the Press 2017 report as “Partly Free”. Another international media watch organisation Reporters without Borders in its 2017 World Press Freedom Index has given India 136 ranking, three points down from 2016 and lower even than press freedom in Afghanistan. Such descriptions about the Indian media are certainly not complementary and neither do they augur well for Indian democracy. The role that the media is expected to play in the various aspects of life is becoming increasingly greater each day, especially in spheres like the present situations in the social, cultural and educational aspects of life. The media plays a critical role in democracies. Its task is to enable citizens to make informed decisions by providing them with a balanced picture of the complex world. The majority of Indian media is fast failing to do this job due to the fear of the regime and propagating ultra nationalist and anti-minority discourse in the country. This is affecting Indian society quite negatively. In a liberal democracy, there are two key features which define the freedom of the press -freedom to investigate, evaluate and censure the system in which the press operates, and freedom from government intrusion. On both fronts, press in India is suffering heavily now. Many media houses have already turned into the ruling regime’s propaganda machine and those who are refusing to do so are facing all sorts of pressures to fall in line. The media plays a critical role in democracies. Its task is to enable citizens to make informed decisions by providing them with a balanced picture of the complex world. The majority of Indian media is fast failing to do this job due to the fear of the regime and propagating ultra nationalist and anti-minority discourse in the country. This is affecting Indian society quite negatively. It is reminiscent of the Emergency imposed by Indira Gandhi during 1975-77 where dissent or criticisms invited charges of sedition and jail term. Whatever the circumstances or the nature of the society in which the media operate, certain factors are basic in the way they influence national development. Every medium has a message; it has a target audience; it aims at influencing a change; it influences attitudes, perceptions and decision making; and it generally influences behaviour. By giving the necessary information, and sometimes skills, the media can help bring about this change. The media must however play their role in national development in an environment that is free and independent, with fair ownership spread. In a liberal democracy, there are two key features which define the freedom of the press -freedom to investigate, evaluate and censure the system in which the press operates, and freedom from government intrusion. It is a tragedy that there is growing intolerance to criticisms and those who claimed to be for freedom and justice yesterday are today putting the media in the dock.
DailyDevotion “What Is That to You?” Peter…said to Jesus, “But Lord, what about this man?” Jesus said to him, “…what is that to you? You follow Me.” —John 21:21-22 One of the hardest lessons to learn comes from our stubborn refusal to refrain from interfering in other people’s lives. It takes a long time to realize the danger of being an amateur providence, that is, interfering with God’s plan for others. You see someone suffering and say, “He will not suffer, and I will make sure that he doesn’t.” You put your hand right in front of God’s permissive will to stop it, and then God says, “What is that to you?” Is there stagnation in your spiritual life? Don’t allow it to continue, but get into God’s presence and find out the reason for it. You will possibly find it is because you have been interfering in the life of another— proposing things you had no right to propose, or advising when you had no right to advise. When you do have to give advice to another person, God will advise through you with the direct understanding of His Spirit. Your part is to maintain the right relationship with God so that His discernment can come through you continually for the purpose of blessing someone else. Most of us live only within the level of consciousness— consciously serving and consciously devoted to God. This shows immaturity and the fact that we’re not yet living the real Christian life. Maturity is produced in the life of a child of God on the unconscious level, until we become so totally surrendered to God that we are not even aware of being used by Him. When we are consciously aware of being used as broken bread and poured-out wine, we have yet another level to reach— a level where all awareness of ourselves and of what God is doing through us is completely eliminated. A saint is never consciously a saint— a saint is consciously dependent on God.

he word “kempering” (German) is a word of Civil Engineering particularly for the Engineers of PWD (Roads & Bridges). This word is not found in a common dictionary book, but from the dictionary of Civil engineering terms. It is simple but it has a very profound meaning and a different impact. It means when a blacktopping road is under construction, the gradient level of the road is carefully built up first in such a way that along the stretch of the road, the middle-line of the road is always built up slightly higher in a mild slope than its two sides; and the two-sides are built slightly lower in gentle slope than the middle-line. So that whenever rains or flash-floods come, the waters easily flow to sides, and do not store in the middle of the road, or flow in the middle of the road like a river-bed. That is called “kempering”. And along the stretch of a road where kempering had been properly done; it is found those portions of the road last much longer. In order to have a desired lasting blacktopped road; while constructing a road, the Engineerin-charge as well as the Contractor should strictly inspect, monitor and execute that the gradient level called “kempering” is honestly followed and done first with the approved quality materials and necessary reinforcement. Only then, the surface blacktopping follows. The Engineer-in-charge and the Contractor as well must check and ensure at sites that along the road the water-ways are properly

ave you ever heard anyone trying to trap a Helicopter? May not be if you are not from Chakhesang tribe. The story of a Chakhesang man trying to trap a Helicopter may be too humorous or too good to be true for you. But this is not an invented story for children’s comic book. It is a true story that took place few decades ago. It took place in a Chakhesang village called P Village (name changed) under Phek District. When the inhabitants of Village P saw helicopter for the first time, they (mis)understood it to be big bird whose wings flap and make loud noise. Somewhere nearby their village, it rested and went away before they could reach. A man of that village wanted to trap that Big Bird. So he took few pieces of rice and
drained down and diverted into the drainages, and any blockade in the drainages are properly cleared. Water outlets even across the footpaths along the road-sides and waterholes into the drainages at regular intervals or wherever it is found necessary be provided. Materials: such as: stoneboulders, metals, gravels or coarse aggregate should be hard, strong and durable as approved by the Engineer. BESIDES THE ABOVE, SOME HUMBLE SUGGEST I O N S M AY B E G I V E N HERE: 1) As we all do see, at many points or locations, a good number of buildings, concrete residents, in defence of their buildings, build round their buildings, concrete demarcation mounds higher than the road levels, not allowing the water to flow into the drainages constructed at the foot of their buildings; thus, forcing and diverting the water to flow on the roads which brings severe erosion and damages to the roads. And it is seen, the erosions are much more serious on our blacktopped roads than anywhere else because of this mistake. This is to be strictly checked, corrected and stopped with strong legal action. 2) Against the roadside residents who construct their building buildings encroaching and narrowing the roads, necessary legal action should be promptly taken to stop and mend them. 3) Random dumping of wastes or dug-earth into the drainages, and careless dumping of building materials or dug-earth on road-sides must not be allowed.
4) Along the sides of the road, mounds/dumped earth found higher and blocking the flow of water into the drainages should be levelled till lower than the level of the middle road and its sides. 5) In case of a damage done to the road: i) By a private party/individual by cutting across the road in order to lay a drinking water pipeline, or ii) by a Government Department in order to lay a cable-wire, a pipeline etc., all should have obtained legal permission and proper repairing must be redone. In such a case, the Municipal Council, or the Colony Panchayat, or the Department, or the Administration should not remain dismayed mute spectators. No complain means no action. The world weather forecasts on our TVs shows, the monsoons of North-east India are much more heavier, stronger and damaging than other parts of the plain worlds. It is not going to be lesser in the years to come. At home, we clearly see our blacktopped roads cannot withstand one full monsoon. More number of vehicles and heavier vehicles will be on our roads. We are to be strong. I want to politely remind our esteemed Engineers to mind the word “kempering” and its importance wherever a blacktopping road is under construction. I do not believe our Engineers are second to none. If others can do, you can also do it, and you still can do better. Whenever, you are given such a work, do it as an Engineer, not like an ignorant layman. Zapra Chakesang, New Minister Hill, Kohima
Finding happiness in life’s simplest moments
N
o society is flawless. It is the existence of problems that makes societies ‘a society.’ It is good to ruminate on aliments that afflict one’s society and how best to go about solving them. Yet, at the same time, it is also essential not to excessively dwell on the infirmities as these distract us from appreciating the basic essentialities of human existences: finding joy, happiness, meaning, and purpose to one’s life. Certainly, there are existential realities of life—such as earning a living to feed and provide shelter for one’s family, to provide education for the children, and, the most important of them all, to make ends meet—which we cannot disregard, especially in society such as ours. After all, everyone is, understandably so, absorbed in procuring security for oneself as well as for one’s own family. These realities exerting on us every day divert us away from refining our own humanity. That is cultivating one’s higher nature, such as kindness, selflessness, honesty, sympathy, compassion, understanding, virtuous, and so forth. Of course, this is not to say that we shouldn’t care about our family, children, and so on, but that, because we are so engrossed on our survival, we unintentionally overlook the task of refining our own character, which in reality is an essential aspect of personal and societal maturity. Hence, we constantly toil and aspire to attain status, accumulate wealth, travel to exotic destinations, dine at the high-end
Chakhesang’s art of trapping Helicopter
traditional (tree) gum to the place where the helicopter landed just before. To entice the helicopter, he scatters the rice in the helipad. He then pasted traditional gum on sticks and put up around the place where he had scattered the rice. He waited patiently for long time for the Big Bird-Helicopter to come and eat rice. To his discouragement, the Big Bird never returned to that place to eat rice. His mission was failed. Again in the Village P, another very interesting incident took place. During this time, it was with vehicle and not with Helicopter. When Jeep came to their village for the first time, they assumed it to be a big animal. Probably thinking that the big animal was tired and hungry, the curious or rather generous vil-
lagers cut grass and feed the big animal-Jeep. However, despite their great effort, the big animal-Jeep did not eat grass. The villagers were left disappointed. This kind of stories appears to be funny for us today. But few decades ago, it was not so. They literally believed that Helicopter was a big bird and Jeep a big animal. However, the mission of Chakhesang people to trap the big bird Helicopter and feed the big animal Jeep was a total failure. It was a great disappointment for them. But we cannot blame helicopter for not coming back to eat rice or the Jeep for refusing to eat grass. The fact is that it is not possible to trap Helicopter with gum and Jeep does not eat grass. Anyway a great lesson was communicated through this
incident: Chakhesang people have a heart of ‘trapping’ the impossible thing and ‘feeding’ the hungry ones. The ideology of ‘trapping/catching’ and ‘feeding’ turned out to be a good strategy of doing mission work today. Among all the Naga tribes, Chakhesang tribe is one of the most successful tribes in doing mission work. One of their main mission projects is Baptist Theological College, Pfutsero. This College that was started with just 12 students has now 221 students from 28 different tribes. So far the College has trained and sent out more than 600 students. They are working in different places in different ministries. Although Chakhesang people, in the past, could not catch/trap helicopter or fed Jeep, today
they are catching/trapping many lost souls and feeding them with the Word of God through the graduates of BTC. With the help of God, many helicopters (powerful people) are being trapped (converted) to Christian faith. Today, many Jeeps started to accept grass-in the sense that people of other faiths started to take in the Word of God. In the past, people trap birds and animals to kill and eat. Today, Christians trap people to feed and save them. In the past, people use ‘insects, meat or grains’ as baits to trap animals and birds. Today, we use the Word of God to bring people to Christ. In 1977, it was here in Pfutsero that NBCC resolved to send 10,000 missionaries to evangelise the world.
World Toilet Day
W
billions of people are struggling to stay well, keep their children alive and work their way to a better future – all for the want of a toilet. The theme for 2017 is “Wastewater”. By 2030, the Sustainable Development Goals aims to reach everyone with sanitation and halve the proportion of untreated wastewater and increase recycling and safe reuse. For that to be achieved, everyone’s waste needs to be contained, transported, treated and disposed of in a safe and sustainable way. In addition to the profound impact this will have on health and living conditions, safely-managed wastewater has massive potential as an affordable and sustainable source of energy, nutrients and water. Today, for billions of people around the world, sanitation systems are either non-existent or ineffective. Despite access to proper sanitation being declared a basic human right, one in three people across the globe do not have regular access to a toilet. Additionally, even amongst those who have such access, unclean and unsafe toilets pose problems of their own, including contributing towards the spread of diseases like cholera,
typhoid and hepatitis – in some parts of Africa, diarrhoea is one of the main child killers. Open defecation is also responsible for increasing the number of sexual assaults perpetrated on women and children. Furthermore, when young girls begin menstruating, the lack of privacy forces them to stay home from school, thus limiting their chances of getting a basic education and, what comes after that, a decent job in the future. Again, open defecation is one of the main causes of drinking water pollution and diarrhoea incidences. Globally 80% of wastewater flows back into the ecosystem without being treated or reused. As such, there is an urgent need for a paradigm shift towards affordable technological alternatives for wastewater treatment, which should be tailored to local and specific contexts. To achieve SDG 6 (Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all) everyone’s poo needs to take a 4-step journey: I.Containment. Poo must be deposited into a hygienic toilet and stored in a sealed pit or tank, separated from human contact.
II.Transport. Pipes or latrine emptying services must move the poo to the treatment stage. III. Treatment. Poo must be processed into treated wastewater and waste products that can be safely returned to the environment. IV. Disposal or reuse. Safely treated poo can be used for energy generation or as a fertilizer in food production. Ensuring that everyone has access to adequate sanitation facilities is not only fundamental for human dignity and privacy, but also for protecting the quality of drinking water sources; with significant benefits for human health and economic development, as well as for the protection of water-related ecosystems. Sustainable sanitation services should therefore be a part of a holistic approach to Integrated Water Resource Management. Safe wastewater reuse, and the consideration of minimum water quantity needed for domestic uses and subsistence agriculture, should all be encouraged at watershed level and from a long-term perspective. Thenuso PHE Reader’s note: Articles or letters published in any of the columns do not reflect the view of this
This is a great commitment given to God by the Nagas which is yet to be fulfilled. We have many ‘helicopters’ and ‘Jeeps’ within and outside of our state. They are roaming around making lots of loud noises drifting towards destruction and death. We need to trap them and bring back to Christ. There are many people who are physically and spiritually hungry. We need to take care of their needs and feed them with the Word of God. Indeed, it is not an easy task to trap a helicopter or feed a jeep. But with God, nothing will be impossible. Let’s join hands and do the ministry of “trapping helicopter” and “feeding Jeep” with faith, prayers and determination. Z. K. Pahrü Pou, BTC, Pfutsero

If there’s one thing that unites humanity, it’s the call of nature...
orld Toilet Organization was founded on 19 November 2001 and the inaugural World Toilet Summit was held on the same day, the first global summit of its kind. Recognizing the need for an international day to draw global attention to the sanitation crisis, World Toilet Day was established. NGOs, the private sector, civil society organisations and the international community joined in to mark the global day. In 2013, a joint initiative between the Government of Singapore and World Toilet Organization led to Singapore’s first UN resolution, entitled “Sanitation for All”, calling for collective action to address the global sanitation crisis through the commemoration of World Toilet Day. The resolution was co-sponsored and adopted by 122 countries at the 67th session of the UN General Assembly in New York. On July 24, 2013, World Toilet Day on 19 November became an official UN day. World Toilet Day is a day to raise awareness and inspire action to tackle the global sanitation crisis – a topic often neglected and shrouded in taboos. Today,
restaurants, and collect rare and expensive effects hoping all these attainments will result in us becoming more happy and content in our own personal lives. While at the same instance, we develop biases toward the everyday simplest experiences and activities. We see these simplest occurrences as something ordinary, cheap, dull, and unremarkable. Hence, we think traveling to exotic places for vacations is always better than visiting one’s own back garden; that eating out at expensive restaurants is always better than the usual rice and vegetable dinner at home; that attending a concert is always better than spending quiet evenings at home; or that taking an adventure trip with group of friends is always better than spending time with one’s own family, who we see every day. We’ve begun to seek happiness and joy in such transient and fleeting events that we take many things for granted that are essential to leading a meaningful and content life. No doubt, as our society transitions into modernity, our lives and our happiness become contingent on us being able to satisfy such material desires. As such, the more we are enthralled in attaining such desires, centered on momentary material pleasure, the more difficult it becomes for us to realize joy and happiness in our own lives; and so we become more frustrated.

Sir,
Non-payment of salary for teachers
Through your esteemed daily I would like to highlight the plight of the Hindi teachers of the Noklak unit of the All Nagaland Hindi Teachers’ Union (ANHTU) so that the public in general and the government in particular understand our genuine demand. The issue pertains to the non-payment of the salaries of the Hindi teachers (thirty six of us) from the Noklak unit, which are due since the month of May, 2017. We seriously feel that we are justified in our demand because it is not that the money is not sanctioned by the government but it is already been disbursed by the government. We also have the proof that our colleagues from other districts or unit had already received their salaries (May and June). We are the only ones who have not received the salaries and this is not the first time but almost becoming regular. Given this fact we feel that it is nothing but a gross neglect and discrimination on the part of the concerned authority for failing to carry out their responsibility. We have every right to be treated equal with other fellow teachers of the state and right to be duly paid for the services we have rendered. The concerned authority should also know that our livelihood depends on the salary. We have simply become victims of injustice and callous attitude of the concerned officials or authority-in-charge. Therefore, we the ANHTU (Noklak unit) wants to make a fervent appeal to the concerned authority to take prompt action against the erring officials and immediately do the needful in making sure that we get our salaries which are due since the month of May this year and in the future that we get our salaries on time.

Ryan case: Father claims minister asked him not to seek CBI probe
A CBI team was at Ryan International School, Gurugram, on Saturday to recreate the scene of crime in the Pradyuman Thakur murder case photo. (PTI)
Gurgaon/Chandigarh, Nov 15 (PTI): Barun Chandra Thakur, the father of the sevenyear-old boy who was killed in Gurgaon’s Ryan International School, today alleged Haryana minister Rao Narbir Singh asked him not to insist on a CBI probe. The minister, however, dismissed the claim as “baseless”. Thakur said the minister told him a CBI inquiry would take minimum one year to conclude and that he should trust the state police’s investigation. “At first, I did not understand why the minister said that ... But after his statement in the media that demanding a CBI probe has become a fashion and that he doesn’t believe in CBI accusing a Class 11 student, I doubted him ... He wanted to discourage us so that we do not demand
a CBI probe,” Thakur told PTI. The father said he told the minister that “if the CBI came to same conclusion, then we will accept it. But we want a CBI probe first”. Singh, the PWD minister in the Manohar Lal Khattar government, said though he visited the Thakurs’ house after the boy was killed he never asked them not to demand a CBI probe. “A n y g ove r n m e n t does not hand over a case to the CBI on the day of the incident. Ask his father... I told him that let the government conduct a probe for at least for 4-5 days. And if did not satisfy them, then we will recommend a CBI probe,” he told reporters. “If on day one the probe is handed over to the CBI, then it would mean the Haryana Police failed.
The state agency first conducts an investigation,” the MLA from Gurgaon’s Badshahpur said. The minister said that keeping in view the Thakurs’ sentiments, he himself spoke to the chief minister and insisted on a CBI probe, which was ordered within a few days. “It is shocking that baseless allegations are being levelled,” he said. Meanwhile, Thakurs’ lawyer Sushil Tekriwal said: “Barun told me that the minister and the father of the accused student are very close to each other.” The minister, however, denied he knew the family of the Class 11 student, who was recently apprehended by the CBI in connection with the killing. “I do not know the juvenile or the place he belongs to,” Singh said. Fo r m e r H a r y a n a
chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda said the state government should have handed over the probe to the CBI immediately. Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said the role of the Khattar government in the case stood “exposed”. “Pradyuman Murder Case - Role of Khattar Govt exposed! As CM Khattar gave clean chits, his minister pressurised the father to not seek CBI probe,” he tweeted. He sought to know why was the state government “scared of a CBI probe?” “Why was a Cabinet minister trying to scuttle CBI probe? Was it being done with the consent of CM Khattar?” he posted on Twitter. Pradyuman, a Class 2 student of the school, was found dead with his throat slit by a sharp-edged weapon on the morning of September 8. Sources in the CBI said the crime was committed in just three to four minutes. The Gurgaon police had arrested a bus conductor, Ashok Kumar, pinning the blame for the crime on him. In a twist in the case, the CBI recently announced that it had apprehended a senior student of the school in connection with the incident, rejecting the police theory that the killing was the handiwork of Kumar.

PCC agitates for Lok Ayukta... (From p-1) Joel said with the prevailing nepotism, many Naga youth would not get jobs and, for which, many youth had already moved out of Nagaland seeking jobs. He declared that, with the Assembly polls round the corner, ACAUT would support NBCC in the latter’s clean election campaign, stating “Unless God-fearing person was elected, no amount of protest will change the system and things will never change.” He also informed the gathering about the three PILs filed by ACAUT and said ACAUT would file another PIL on PDS scam by this week. NVCO president Kezhokhoto Savi said RTI promoted transparency and accountability, while Lokayukta would ensure clean, transparent and accountable government. Stating that legislators
had to pass a Bill in this regard in the Assembly before it became a law, he urged the government to do the needful before the ensuing Christmas. He said any MLA indulging in corruption and fearing law would not want a Lokayukta and so appealed to the Assembly to pass the Bill so that corruption could be curbed to some extent. Nagaland Indigenous People’s Forum, chairman advocate NM Jamir said there would never be any peace and development in the State with corruption, adding that Nagaland was one of the most corrupt States in the world. He alleged that Lokayukta was delayed because the government did not want to ensure transparency and accountability. Jamir also listed five departments that, according to him, had indulged in maximum corruption – Social Welfare, School Education, RD, Road &
Bridges, Police and Law & Justice. In his speech, PSAN convener, Nitoka V Swu said several representations were submitted and ultimatums served to the state government. However, instead of responding positively, the government had scrapped Class III posts from the purview of NPSC on October 26, 2017, he added. Also, he said PSAN had been demanding setting up of Staff Selection Board in line with SSC as it did not have confidence in departmental exams. A citizen of Kohima village, Robert Solo and a member of Kohima Municipal Ward Panchayat Association said it was unfortunate, the November 11 declaration of APO. Others who spoke at the protest include-- senior citizen, Kuolachalie Seyie, member of Combine Technical Engineers’ Association etc.
Kejriwal meets Khattar on air pollution CHANDIGARH, NOV 15 (IANS): Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday met Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar here to discuss the issues of stubble burning and air pollution. Kejriwal was greeted with protests by activists of the Shiromani Akali Dal and Congress when he reached the Chandigarh airport. Opposition leaders in Haryana criticised Khattar for agreeing to meet Kejriwal, saying the Delhi Chief Minister was raking up the issue only to blame farmers in Haryana and Punjab for causing air pollution by burning stubble. Kejriwal on Wednesday tweeted that
and Delhi Environment Minister Imran Hussain and Environment Department Secretary Keshav Chandra were on their way to Haryana “to discuss issues related to pollution” with Khattar. He had also written to the Chief Ministers of both Haryana and Punjab and sought a joint meeting to “find solution” to the problem that has led to widespread health concerns in the National Capital Region. But on Tuesday, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh rejected Kejriwal’s request to meet him and instead asked him to refrain from “trying to politicise a serious issue”.
Modi greets Jharkhand on its foundation day N E W D E L HI , NOV 15 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday greeted the people of Jharkhand on the state’s 17th foundation day and also paid tributes to tribal freedom fighter Birsa Munda on his 142nd birth anniversary. “Greetings to the people of Jharkhand on their statehood day. I pray that Jharkhand continues to scale new heights of progress and prosperity,” Modi tweeted. Jharkhand was carved out of the southern part of Bihar on November 15, 2000. In a separate tweet, the Prime Minister posted a video highlighting the tribal leader’s life. “I bow to Bhagwan Birsa Munda on his jayanti. His indomitable courage is a source of motivation. “Inspired by the life of Bhagwan Birsa Munda, we are working towards empowerment of our tribal communities, who are India’s pride.” Munda was born on November 15, 1875, in Khunti district. He was a folk hero and a tribal freedom fighter hailing from the Munda tribe, who spearheaded the Millenarian movement that arose in the BiharJharkhand belt in the early 19th century. He died in Ranchi prison on June 9, 1900, after being arrested in March from Chakradhar pur’s Jamkopai forest, where he had been resting with his tribal guerrilla army.
Gov greets Nagaland media Mahatma murder: SC told Apte’s identity mired in doubt Rail Bhawan security comes under MHA operational control on National Press Day (From p-1) coverage by media on each and every issue of the society creates bigger impacts, making it one of most important professions of these days,” he said. Acharya admitted that challenges before the media were wide ranging and did not follow any particular pattern and came from different quarters of the society. Referring to Press Council of India’s move to discuss and deliberate on the topic “Challenges before the Media” on the National Press Day, he hoped that this would ensure evolution of a new media system that would lead to media freedom and people’s right to know without vitiating media ethics. He reiterated that the press was one of the foundation stones of democracy and its freedom was a prerequisite in the challenging world of media reporting today. The Governor also urged the media to play a vital role in creating a New India that was strong, prosperous and free of communalism, casteism and terrorism. “I extend my best wishes for the successful celebration of the day hoping that our media continue to represent the voice of the people of the State,” he added.
New Delhi, Nov 15 (Agencies): On Wednesday, 68 years after Godse and Narayan Dattatraya Apte were hanged to death, a petition in the Supreme Court calls the identity of Apte into question. According to The Hindu, Narayan Dattatraya Apte was hanged for the murder of Mahatma Gandhi along with the main assassin, Nathuram Godse, on November 15, 1949. On Wednesday, 68 years after that event, a petition in the Supreme Court claims that the identity of Apte remains mired in doubt and seeks reopening of the investigation into Gandhi’s assassination. The Justice J.L. Kapur Commission of Inquiry, set up in 1966 to unearth the entire conspiracy, had reported Apte to have
been in the Air Force. However, Manohar Parrikar as Defence Minister on January 7, 2016, had informed Dr. Pankaj Phadnis, the petitioner in the apex court, that “no information related to Narayan Dattatraya Apte being an Air Force officer could be found anywhere.” Dr. Phadnis, a researcher and a trustee of Abhinav Bharat, Mumbai, who has raised questions about the investigation into Gandhi’s murder suggesting whether it was one of the biggest cover-ups in history, has annexed the letter received from Parrikar, now Goa CM, in his petition. The petitioner has contended that such information establishes the involvement of an alleged foreign hand in the assassination of the Father of the Na-
tion on January 30, 1948. Mr. Parrikar’s letter states: “I have got the matter examined. I have been informed that the matter was referred to various agencies within the Air Force, MoD History Division as well as to AA at HCI, UK with the request to provide any information pertaining to Mr. Narayan Dattatraya Apte. All the agencies have confirmed that they have not found any records pertaining to Mr. Narayan Dattatraya Apte. History Division of MoD even liased with National Archives, Central Secretariat Library and consulted private papers of Mahatma Gandhi’s murder trial,” it said. The letter also said that the Gazettes of India (Air Branch) for the year 1943-46 were also searched but no
information related to him being an IAF officer “could be found anywhere.” While seeking reopening of the probe into the Gandhi assassination case, Dr. Phadnis on the basis of the Parrikar’s letter, has submitted to the apex court that “there is therefore reasonable ground to believe that Apte was an operative of British Force 136, which can be established only after further investigation.” The apex court has appointed senior advocate Amarender Sharan as amicus curiae in the matter to examine the petition and documents provided by Dr. Phadnis, who has also questioned the ‘three-bullet theory’ in the murder of Gandhi.
NEW DELHI, NOV 15 (IANS): The Union Home Ministry has taken operational control of security at Rail Bhawan, the headquarters of the Indian Railways, the government said on Wednesday.

Keditsu added that those candidates who do not get selected would be enrolled and trained under Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) programme where 32,000 youths would be skilled so they can get a job. He said that the employment department had gone down to the grassroots/village level to find what Naga youths exactly wanted to do in their lives as far as career options were concerned and that, they had made a special study called “aspiration and capacity mapping study” to find out what young Naga boys and girls wanted to do in their lives so the department could bring in programmes suited for them. He said that the career orientation of Nagas were basically government sectors and hoped that the “career capacity mapping study” would be able to highlight and show the department exactly where they needed to direct the K Y M C
boys and girls. Aditya however said that attitudes were changing and that a survey they had done showed that 83% of Nagas were willing to work in private sectors and not just government sectors.

New Delhi, Nov 15 (IANS): The most comprehensive overhaul of GST rates decided at a recent GST Council meeting, reducing tax on all restaurants to 5 per cent and slashing tax on 178 items, became effective from Wednesday as the government issued notifications to this effect. Eating out is expected to become cheaper as all restaurants outside highend hotels charging up to Rs 7,500 per room have uniformly come under the 5 per cent GST bracket from Wednesday, according to the gazette notification. The facility of input tax credit for restaurants has, however, been withdrawn as they had not passed on this benefit to consumers. Restaurants in hotels with rooms above Rs 7,500 per day would continue to pay 18 per cent GST with the benefit of input credit.

Kolkata, Nov 15 (PTI): After a foray into the life insurance business and setting up of a NBFC subsidiary, Kerala-based Federal Bank is now looking at the mutual fund (MF) vertical for further expansion of its operational domain, a top official today said. The bank is also in the process of divesting 26 per cent stake in the fully-owned NBFC arm, Fedfina, to a strategic investor to raise capital for the subsidiary. “We are evaluating the mutual fund business. The bank is also looking at buying out portfolios in retail and large ticket home loans,” MD and CEO of Federal bank Shyam Srinivasan said. Fedfina, he said, is in the distribution business and also in the underwriting of loans for which it has generated a loan book of Rs 1,250 crore. “The loan book of Fedfina is expected to double for which capital is needed. The equity divestment is towards that requirement and we are in talks with two prospective bidders,” Srinivasan told reporters here today.

Mumbai, Nov 15 (PTI): The rupee edged up 8 paise to 65.34 against the dollar in opening trade today on fresh selling of the US currency by exporters.

However, a lower opening of domestic equities and a widening trade deficit to almost a three-year high capped the gains. Yesterday, the rupee had ended flat to close at 65.42 against the US currency due to fag-end demand for the greenback amid ballooning trade deficit.

Thomas Chandy finally quits as Kerala minister
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, NOV 15 (IANS): Battling land grab charges, Kerala Transport Minister Thomas Chandy on Wednesday quit, becoming the third minister to quit the government of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan in controversial circumstances. After submitting his resignation to his party leader T.P. Peethambaran, who forwarded it to Vijayan, Chandy drove away in his official car to his home in Alappuzha. En route, at a few places, angry Youth Congress workers waved black flags and threw eggs at his car. But at his home in Alappuzha, activists of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) greeted him with full-throated slogans.
Thomas Chandy On Tuesday, the Vijayan government suffered a setback when the Kerala High Court dismissed a petition filed by Chandy for quashing the Alappuzha Collector’s report which alleged land grab by Chandy’s resort. Chandy told the media at his house on Wednesday that the Collector’s report had factual errors.
“In the High Court verdict, one judge was not pleased because I filed the petition as Minister Chandy. I did it as per the advice of my counsel. Once I get the judgement, tomorrow itself I will file an appeal in the Supreme court,” said Chandy. Chandy insisted that the Chief Minister did not ask him to step down. “I offered to quit as yesterday’s verdict came with certain observations, denting the government’s image. I then took permission from the NCP leadership and put in my papers. “My other party colleague is also facing certain charges and whosoever amongst us gets cleared first will become a minister again,” said Chandy. Speaking here, NCP
leader Peethambaran said Chandy’s resignation letter had been handed over to Vijayan. Governor P. Sathasivam accepted it. “The party decided to accept the resignation letter after lots of discussions... not because Chandy has done a wrong. Our party is with him,” Peethambaran said. According to informed sources, Vijayan has decided that the slot meant for the NCP in the cabinet will be left vacant. Chandy was present at the weekly cabinet meeting on Wednesday. While leaving, he told the media he was not quitting. On Wednesday morning, Chandy drove to the Vijayan’s residence with Peethambaran and held a 40-minute discussion.

BJP behind release of Hardik CD: Akhilesh
Future armour should be capable of operating on borders: Rawat
LU C K N OW, N OV 1 5 (IANS): For mer Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday accused the BJP of conspiring against Patel community leader Hardik Patel by release a sex CD purported to target the Gujarat leader. Addressing reporters in Etawah, the Samajwadi Party President said the fact that the CD had surfaced just before the Gujarat Assembly elections proved that the Bharatiya Janata Party was behind this. “The BJP is scared of Hardik Patel and is up to its dirty tricks,” he said. Akhilesh Yadav said the people of Gujarat were tired of BJP rule. He insisted that the Samajwadi Party was only contesting a few seats in Gujarat as it did not want to dent the prospects of the Congress, which he said was giving a strong fight to the BJP.
NEW DELHI, NOV 15 (IANS): Future armoured vehicles should have the capability to operate on both northern and western borders, Army Chief General Bipin Rawat said on Wednesday. The Army Chief ’s remark came days after the Indian Army issued a Request For Information (RFI) for development and manufacturing of Future Ready Combat Vehicle (FRCV) under the Strategic Partnership model. Speaking at a seminar “Future Armoured Vehicles India 2017”, General Rawat said the Indian Army was looking at modernising its mechanised forces, adding that there can be no mistake in deciding what capabilities are required in these Future Ready Combat Vehicles. “Whatever be the future armoured vehicle we are looking at, we must have
Bipin Rawat the capability to operate on the western border and the northern border. Whatever equipment we are going to introduce must be capable of inter-operability on both fronts.” The Army Chief said that with development of canal systems on the western front, the desert areas have become greener and population close to the border has also grown, leaving lesser space for operating the tanks and also bringing in
a requirement for building bridges. “With the canal system developing, we will have to address the requirement of bridges in the manner in which these armoured fighting vehicles are going to negotiate with all this... Therefore, I will say the battlefield will become complex and the terrain will add to the complexities.” General Rawat also said that there is a need to reduce the weight of the machines and to ensure it can operate in a complex terrain as well as be integrated with other systems. “We will have to look at technology to reduce the weight of our war fighting machines. We will have to overcome terrain with manoeuvering space reducing... Even down south in desert, in that sector hardening of desert has started,” he added.
JNU missing student case: Kolkata Police to induct copters AAP blames Centre for for security and surveillance unused Rs 787 cr green cess Court reserves order on CBI plea KOLKATA, NOV 15 (PTI): Kolkata Police is all set to induct helicopters for effective management of the security situation and to augment its surveillance capabilities. The move is a step to modernise the force by introducing updated policing methods and tactics and it would start using the helicopters soon, a senior home department official told PTI. “Inducting helicopters into the force will definitely help Kolkata Police to help in increasing surveillance in and around the city. Helicopters will also help in the effective management of any security situation,” the official said. At least two helicopters would be purchased in the
first phase, he said adding that the order for them would be placed soon. The force has already introduced snipers and commandos. A detailed discussion was held between senior Kolkata Police(KP) officials and experts were recently held at KP headquarters here on the issue. “There were discussions regarding the advantages of using helicopters in the city for quick deployment of forces to inaccessible areas and how to use them for city policing,” said another senior Kolkata Police officer, who was present at the meeting. There were also discussions on where the helicopters would be stationed
so that they can be used easily at the required time, he added. “The copters will have space for at least four persons to sit. The helicopters will have facilities for fitting guns and will be manoeuvrable in narrow spaces,” the officer said adding that NSG-trained special KP police personnel would man them. The induction of helicopters by Kolkata Police would also help the neighbouring police commissionerates in dealing with the crimes and keeping a surveillance in areas under them, the home department officer said.
NEW DELHI, NOV 15 (IANS): The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday blamed the central government for its failure to spend Rs 787 crore environmental cess collected in 2017 and accused the Modi government of blocking projects to control pollution. AAP chief spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj said the party never said the Delhi government had shortage of funds. “Though the government wanted to purchase buses, the central government did not allot land for bus depots,” he said. He said the government had approached the central government for permission
for aerial sprinkling of water to control pollution and was even ready to spend on it. Bharadwaj told IANS that the government had been taking other measures like spraying water on roads to control dust but this was done using other funds. On other pollution control measures like installation of air purifiers and vacuum cleaning of roads, the leader said both options were looked into but they were not found feasible. Amid the city’s fight against pollution, an RTI revelation on Wednesday said the Delhi government had failed to specify its utilisation of the Rs 787 crore green cess collected in 2017.

NEW DELHI, NOV 15 (IANS): A court here on Wednesday reserved order on a CBI plea for a polygraphy test on nine students in connection with missing Jawaharlal Nehru University student Najeeb Ahmed. Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Samar Vishal reserved order after counsel for the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and JNU students concluded their arguments. The CBI has sought a lie-detection test on the nine students to ascertain facts related to the case. Students’ counsel Vishwa Bhushan Arya and Ujjwal Kumar told the court that, as per the National Human Rights Commission, the lie-detector test is not authorised
by law and must be regarded as illegal unless it is voluntarily accepted. The counsel urged the court to dismiss the plea, terming it “premature and not maintainable”. The counsel said that summoning the students to record their consent or refusal is nothing but coercive exercise. In an earlier hearing, the court had allowed the CBI plea for an early hearing on the application for nod to the lie-detection test. The CBI plea came after the Delhi High Court asked the agency to seek an early hearing in the trial court, which had earlier adjourned the matter for January 2018.

Delhi govt prepares shortterm plan to tackle pollution NEW DELHI, NOV 15 (IANS): Under attack from the opposition for not spending a single penny in 2017 out of the Rs 787 crore collected as environment cess, the Delhi government on Wednesday said it has prepared a one-year short-term plan to tackle air pollution, an official said. A Delhi government official said Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal held a meeting with senior officials on Tuesday evening and directed that the environmental cess and environmental ambient air fund be used for procurement of buses. Earlier, the official said Delhi Transport Minister Kailash Gehlot also met DIMTS (Delhi Integrated Multi-Modal Transit System Ltd) officials over the issue. Revealing the government’s plans, he said: “The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government has prepared a one-year short-term plan, under which it proposes to procure 500 electric buses within one year.”
He said the government was planning to procure buses of two different sizes -- Standard and Medium. According to him, a standard size bus costs Rs 2.6 crore while the medium size bus comes for Rs 1.6 crore. Defending his government, AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj in a series of tweets said: “Delhi government has never said we do not have money to tackle pollution. We have instead said we have budget to buy buses, but no space to park.” “We have said we are even ready to pay for aerial water sprinkling, we just need support from central government and Civil Aviation Ministry,” he wrote. Suggesting that the Lt Governor was not allotting land for depots for the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) fleet, he said: “Government has plan to buy 500 electrical buses (Midi and Std), but no depots to park them. LG (Lt Governor) controls land.”
‘Padmavati’: Karni Sena wants Bharat Bandh; Bhansali gets police protection JAIPUR/MUMBAI, NOV 15 (IANS): The Shri Rajput Karni Sena on Wednesday called for a ‘Bharat Bandh’ (shutdown) on December 1 if Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s movie “Padmavati” releases on that date, while the Maharashtra government provided a precautionary security cover for the filmmaker in view of the increasing controversies and growing threats. “We will hold rallies across the country, including Gurugram, Patna, Lucknow and Bhopal before the release date,” Lokendra Singh Kalvi, founder-patron of the Shri Rajput Karni Sena, an organisation of the Rajput community, told media persons in Jaipur. He said all communities, including Muslims, supported the Sena on the issue. “We demand a complete ban on the film. Now, we don’t want any prescreening of the movie. All we want is a ban,” he said. He claimed that as per the Cinematography Act, the government can with-
for release globally soon. Barring these groups and individuals, the entire film fraternity and civil society members have expressed support to Bhansali for his latest film venture. The Indian Film and Television Directors’ Association (IFTDA) has thanked Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis for providing security cover to Bhansali, who lives and works in Mumbai. “We commend your assurance to keep the law and order situation in control, and that speaks volumes of the efficiency of your staff and the police personnel,” filmmaker Ashoke Pandit, on behalf of the fraternity, said in a letter to Fadnavis. Pandit also urged the state government to “help the victim” release his film without anybody’s intrusion. Rajasthan State Commission for Women chief Suman Sharma, in a letter, urged CBFC chief Prasoon Joshi to watch the movie and ensure there was no assault on the dignity of women through the film.
R A N C H I , N OV 1 5 (IANS): President Ram Nath Kovind on Wednesday launched, or laid the foundation stones of, various schemes entailing total expenditure of Rs 3,455 crore in Jharkhand to coincide with the state’s 17th Foundation Day. Kovind launched the Rs 636-crore ‘Mukhyamantri Health Insurance Scheme’ under which 57 lakh of the 68 lakh families in the state will benefit. Beneficiaries will get treatment costing Rs 2 lakh under the scheme. The President also kicked off the Rs 290-crore ‘108 Ambulance’ service in the state. Kovind launched JOHAR (Jharkhand’s Opportunities for Harnessing Rural Development) schemes entailing expenditure of Rs 1,500 crore to help tribal and Dalit families double their incomes in four years. He also laid the foundation stones of two fly-
overs at Harmu and Kantatoli, which will cost Rs 490 crore. Earlier, Kovind arrived in Ranchi on Wednesday morning and paid tributes to freedom fighter Birsa Munda at the Birsa Chowk.

Govt wants new MRP on 200 goods amid GST change
Surveillance to check ragging Guj, Raj govts not acting against cow vigilantes: Pilot should look beyond CCTV: Panel
NEW DELHI, NOV 15 (IANS): Union Consumer Affairs Minister Ram Vilas Paswan on Wednesday said new Maximum Retail Price (MRP) will have to be printed on around 200 consumer products in the backdrop of a change in the taxation structure by the GST Council on November 10. The manufacturers will have to fix new stickers of reduced MRP along with the old MRP to pass on the benefits of reduction in the Goods and Services Tax (GST) to consumers, Paswan said, adding that failing to do so will attract action. “Those goods on which GST has been lowered will have to be sold at new MRP. Benefit has to be passed on to customers. Notification has been issued in this regard,” Paswan told reporters. “We have written to the Legal Metrology Department to take action in case of non-compliance. Also, consumers can lodge complaint through National Consumer Helpline.”
NEW DELHI, NOV 15 (PTI): Surveillance measures to check ragging in educational institutions should not be limited to CCTV cameras which are often illegal as they intrude upon privacy, a Supreme Court-appointed panel has said. The four-member committee set by the apex court in 2009 stressed the need for strengthening community links to combat ragging in a list of recommendations submitted to the UGC. “Surveillance systems are largely understood to mean CCTV cameras. They cannot be limited to such impersonal policing... They are illegal as they intrude upon privacy,” it said in the report -- “Psychosocial Study of Ragging in Selected Educational Institutions in India”. Data from other countries also show that such measures do not decrease
in regular contact with newcomers. Freshers should be included in sports and extra- curricular activities in colleges and hostels, it said. According to the panel, ragging occurs in the context of “power relationships in a deeply hierarchical and unequal society and is reflective of these social processes”. The panel also recommended strengthening institutional roles in “fostering inclusion, belonging and acceptance” of new students, implementation of UGC protocol and guidelines on ragging and widening the role of antiragging cells in varsities.

The former Union minister also lashed out at the BJP government in Rajasthan over the controversy surrounding upcoming Bollywood film “Padmavati”, saying it should have intervened earlier to resolve the issue. “If a person or a community or a class has any problem, we should intervene at an appropriate time to find a solution.

Donald Trump returns, faces Alabama Senate scandal
WASHINGTON, NOV 15 (AGENCIES): President Donald Trump spent five days in Asia largely keeping the Alabama Senate scandal at bay. He won’t be so lucky on US soil. The president returned to Washington on Tuesday night and walked straight into a party panic over the sexual misconduct accusations dogging GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore. Having pushed publicly and privately for Moore to get out of the race, Republicans believe their last best shot is Trump, who they hope can persuade his fellow political rebel to fall in line. Trump has given little indication of whether he’s interested in playing the role of party heavy. Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has echoed other Republican leaders, saying last Friday that Moore should step aside if the allegations are true. But as other Republicans began to call for Moore to quit the race, Trump was notably
silent in public. On Tuesday, he didn’t address the issue when he spoke with reporters aboard Air Force One as he flew back to Washington, nor did he respond to shouted questions about Moore as he entered the White House that night. For Trump and Republicans, there are no good options. If Moore wins, they can either spend an already harrowing midterm election cycle defending their new colleague, or overturn the will of Alabama voters by casting him out of the Senate. If Moore loses and the seat flips to Democratic control, the party loses a critical vote in its razor-thin Senate majority, with issues like tax reform and immigration set to be considered in the coming months. “I have to get back into the country to see what’s happening,” Trump told reporters over the weekend as he flew from Danang, Vietnam to Hanoi during his five-nation tour of Asia.

This divide matters hugely at a time when millions of people across the UK face a daily struggle to make ends meet and the numbers living in poverty are the highest for almost 20 years. “The recent Paradise Papers revelations laid bare one of the main drivers of inequality - tax-dodging by rich individuals and multinationals. Governments should act to tackle extreme inequality that is undermining economies around the world, dividing societies and making it harder than ever for the poorest to improve their lives.

In Manila, Suu Kyi also met with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who demanded a guaranteed access of humanitarian aid in Rakhine and the safe and voluntary return of refugees who have fled to Bangladesh since the conflict broke out on August 25. More than 618,000 people have fled to the neighbouring Bangladesh after the army launched an offensive in the north of the western Rakhine State in response to the attacks by a group of Rohingya insurgents on security posts in late August. The Myanmar Army has denied abuses against the Rohingyas, including murders and rapes, during its operations in Rakhine, despite the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights terming the situation “ethnic cleansing”.

CANBERRA, NOV 15 (IANS): C elebra tions broke out across Australia on Wednesday after a two-month national postal survey came out “overwhelmingly” in favour of legalising same-sex marriage in the country. Results released earlier in the day by the Australian Bureau of Statistics revealed 61% of the population voted to allow same-sex marriage, with 38% voting against it, reports CNN. More than 12.7 million people across the country, or 79.5% of the population, took part in the survey with every state and territory returning a majority “yes”. Voting had opened on September 12 and Australians who had registered to vote had until November 7 to return their surveys. Speaking after the result, Australia Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said it had been an “overwhelming” response in favour of “yes” and called for samesex marriage to be legalised before Christmas.
LONDON, NOV 15 (AGNCEIS): The richest 1 per cent of people in the world now own half of the planet’s wealth, according to a new report that highlights breathtaking levels of global inequality, The Independent report stated. The study reveals how the super-rich have profited from the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis, seeing their proportion of the world’s wealth increase from 42.5 per cent in the midst of the crisis to 50.1 per cent now. According to the Credit Suisse Global Wealth Report, the top 1 per cent are now worth a total of £106 trillion - around eight times more than the size of the US economy. The wealthiest 10 per cent of people, meanwhile, own 87.8 per cent of global wealth. “The downward trend reversed after 2008 and the share of the top 1 per cent has been on an upward path ever since, passing the 2000 level in 2013 and achieving new peaks every year thereafter,” the report says. The gaping inequality has resulted in a huge rise in the number of millionaires and ultra-high-networth individuals (those worth more than $30m). Since 2000, the number of millionaires in the world has risen by 170 per cent, to 36 million, while the num-

sound and their security is guaranteed”, the BBC reported. “We are only targeting criminals around him (Mugabe) who are committing crimes that are causing social and economic suffering in the country in order to bring them to justice,” said the main speaker, identified as Major General S.B. Moyo, the Army’s Chief of Staff. General Moyo warned that “any provocation will be met with an appropriate response”. There was no further clarification of the whereabouts or status of Mugabe, 93, who is the only leader Zimbabwe has known since independence in 1980, CNN reported. South African President Jacob Zuma said he had spoken to Mugabe who had indicated that he “was confined to his home but said that he was fine”.

H A R A R E , N OV 1 5 (IANS): Political turmoil escalated in Zimbabwe as the military took control of the African country and seized its leader President Robert Mugabe early on Wednesday but claimed it was “not a military takeover”. Despite the statement, the events bore all the hallmarks of a coup, with military vehicles stationed around the capital Harare, the Army seizing the state broadcaster Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corp (ZBC) and a uniformed general issuing a statement. After taking over ZBC, two uniformed officers said in a terse pre-dawn announcement that “the situation in our country has moved to another level”. While denying that the military had seized power, they said Mugabe and his family “are safe and
in the early 1990s. Yang’s editorial is the latest salvo signalling that the intensity of Xi’s signature war on corruption would not wane despite the departure of Xi’s right-hand man, Wang Qishan+ , who was widely seen as China’s second most powerful politician before being replaced as anti-corruption chief in a leadership reshuffle last month. Wang’s replacement, Zhao Leji, wrote a similarly strongly worded editorial in the People’s Daily on Saturday. Yang said Xi’s anticorruption achievements had been revolutionary in “turning the blade of the knife inward”. But he said unhealthy pollutants within the party’s political ecosystem had yet to be completely cleansed, and the anti-corruption fight remained “grave and complex”.+ “There is no road for retreat, only forward in attack, and definitely no pause or relax,” Yang wrote. China has plans for a national supervision law and a new commission next year to oversee the expansion of Xi’s graft fight. Yang, who is also minister of supervision, had been Wang’s deputy since 2014 and his promotion to the Politburo is seen as another display of the importance the central leadership attaches to fighting corruption.

An armed soldier patrols a street in Harare, Zimbabwe, Wednesday.
The early morning broadcast interr uption came less than 48 hours after Army commander Constantino Chiwenga warned in a press conference that “when it comes to matters of protecting our revolution, the military will not hesitate to step in”. In response, Mugabe’s ruling party Zanu-PF accused Chiwenga of “treasonable conduct”. Witnesses reported tanks and soldiers moving around the city overnight along with sounds of gunfire and explosions. By morning, soldiers in armoured vehicles controlled major intersections near government buildings. But otherwise the streets appeared to be calm. Local media reported that several members of the Zanu-PF party had been detained by the military, including cabinet ministers. The party’s Twitter account, which had been largely silent for more than a month, exploded in a string of tweets maintaining that there was no coup but just the Army rescuing the nation from having its Constitution undermined. “Zimbabwe is open for business. There was no coup, but a bloodless peaceful transition,” said one tweet.
BEIJING, NOV 15 (AGENCIES): China must step up its battle against corruption in order to safeguard against a Soviet-style collapse, the country’s second most senior graft buster said in an editorial on Wednesday. Yang Xiaodu, the deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, who was promoted to the ruling Communist Party’s 25-strong Politburo last month, said failure would risk the “red country changing colour”. In unusually direct and strongly worded criticism of previous administrations, Yang said “in a previous period”, corruption had been allowed to fester to such an extent that the party’s leadership had weakened, with supervision soft, and ideology apathetic. “It had developed to the point where if not rectified, the country could change colour,” Yang wrote in the official People’s Daily. “The future fate of the party and the country’s people could follow the same old road to ruin as the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc.” President Xi Jinping, like many officials before him, is steeped in the party’s long-held belief that loosening control too quickly or even at all could lead to chaos and the break up of the country. The party regularly implores cadres to study the collapse of the Soviet Union

AGT singer gets death threats from deaf community
D
eaf singer Mandy Harvey made headlines around the world after being put straight through to the finals of America’s Got Talent. But when she first took to the stage, she received death threats from within the deaf community for promoting a “hearing” activity. It was two months ago that Harvey sang live on prime-time NBC television across the United States. Barefoot and nervous, she had overcome a series of traumas to get there. “I used to get some pretty strongly-worded letters and death threats,”
she reveals. “I got a lot of backlash from certain people in that community because I was promoting oralism.” Oralism is the name given to the practise of educating deaf people to use speech and lip-reading rather than sign language. It was first encouraged at a conference in 1880, but despite the near-ban of signing almost 140 years ago, sign languages developed across the world, including British Sign Language, and became part of Deaf culture - always written with a capital D. The shortened term, oral, is now sometimes
used to refer to deaf people who are thought to favour the hearing world. Harvey, who is from Cincinnati, Ohio, says: “When you’re doing something that is living inside the hearing world, such as music and singing, it can be frowned upon because we’re supposed to be encouraging ASL (American Sign Language) only.” Charlie Swinbourne, editor of deaf blog The Limping Chicken, says the term “oral” can also be used as an insult within the deaf community. “It’s like saying ‘you’re not one of us’. Although some deaf people use it to describe themselves, I wouldn’t call anyone oral out of the blue and because I can communicate with speech as well as sign, I’ve had it said to me, which has taken me aback.” He calls Harvey’s experience an example of the “ugly side of our community” and says “even though she sings, it doesn’t mean that she hasn’t got a foot in the deaf community”.

T
he first reviews of Justice League h ave b e e n p u b lished, and it seems that critics aren’t impressed with this latest DC outing. The big screen debut of the DC Comics team is set for wide release on Friday (November 17), and sees Wonder Woman teaming up with Cyborg, The Flash, Batman and Aquaman to battle the might of Steppenwolf. With the review embargo now lifted, movie critics have had their say on the new film – with a rather negative consensus being reached. The Hollywood Reporter‘s review stated: “The increasingly turgid tales of Batman and Superman – joined, unfortunately for her, by Wonder Woman – trudge along to ever-diminishing returns in Justice League. Garishly unattractive to look at and lacking the spirit that made Wonder Woman, which came out five months ago, the most engaging of Warner Bros’ DC Comics-derived extravaganzas to date, this hodgepodge throws a bunch of superheroes into a mix that neither
congeals nor particularly makes you want to see more of them in future. “Plainly put, it’s simply not fun.” Entertainment Weekly said that: “First, the good news. Justice League is better than its joylessly sombre dress rehearsal, Batman v Super man: Dawn of Justice. Now the ‘but’… you knew there was a ‘but’ coming, right? But it also marks a pretty steep comedown from the giddy highs of Wonder Woman. [Justice League] is a placeholder in a franchise that’s already had too many placeholders.”

Liver pool forward Dominic Solanke’s appearance as a late substitute made him the sixth England player to have made his debut over the two games. It was a case of back to the drawing board for Tite. Brazil have won 13 of their 17 games since he took charge in June 2016, but their failure to unsettle such green opponents raised questions about their prospects of a

zil goalkeeper Alisson only once before half-time and he had little trouble fielding a rasping drive from Marcus Rashford. Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who had starred on his debut against Germany, would last only 34 minutes on his return to Wembley as injury obliged him to cede his place to Jesse Lingard. Brazil created their first clear chance early in the second period when Neymar’s pass freed Coutinho, only for Hart to block with his legs. Substitute Fernandinho went even closer with 14 minutes remaining, but after a surging run from halfway, his low 25-yard effort grazed the left-hand post. A spate of substitutions had the effect of opening up space in the England half, but still the hosts resisted. Ashley Young marked his return after four years in the international wilderness by sliding in to block from Willian seconds after coming on, while Hart stood up well to thwart Roberto Firmino from Neymar’s pass. Solanke, 20, might have claimed a famous winner at the death when Young’s deep cross from the left found him unmarked at the back post, but Alisson slid out bravely to block.

L O N D O N, N ov 1 5 (Agencies): Neymar and his Brazil colleagues were held to a frustrating goalless draw after a spirited display by a callow England team in Tuesday’s friendly match at Wembley Stadium. Brazil coach Tite was able to name a first-choice starting XI, but despite the presence of Neymar, Gabriel Jesus and Philippe Coutinho in the visitors’ line-up, they tested England goalkeeper Joe Hart only three times.

Dimap u r , N ov 1 5 (NPN): Lok Sabha MP, Neiphiu Rio on Wednesday flagged off the Assam Rifles Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel Unity and Heritage Tri-Nation Motorcycle expedition from 32 Assam Rifles HQs, Dimapur. Addressing the flagging off programme, Rio said peace was not only the absence of conflict, but maintaining harmony amongst the communities. “The tri-nation tour to bring unity and foster peace and harmony in the region and particularly the Northeastern states has sent a very good message and I am proud to be here with you this morning as a representative of the State in the Parliament and also as the son of an Ex-Serviceman,” he stated. Rio said that most areas in the region have been declared as “disturbed” and the Armed Forces Special Powers Act imposed; but with things getting better, he was confident that the Armed Forces would have a special responsibility not only during conflict, guarding and maintaining law and order, but also in fostering peace. “We hope that this conducive atmosphere will continue and that the Naga political issue will be solved soon so that we will have real peace in the land,” he said.

Federer beats Zverev to enter ATP Finals semis
L O N D O N , N ov 1 5 ( Ag en c ie s ) : Ro g e r Federer held young pretender Alexander Zverev at bay in a gripping contest Tuesday to reach the last four of the ATP Finals and stay on course for a seventh end-of-season crown. The world number two saw off a spirited challenge from the much-hyped German 7-6 (8/6), 5-7, 6-1 in front of a boisterous proFederer crowd to become the first man through to the last four at the O2 Arena. Both players were scratchy on serve at the start of the match but were quickly into the groove in a tight first set that saw no breaks of serve, though Zverev had to fend off two set points in the 12th game to force a tie-break. The 20-year-old third seed raced into a 4-0 advantage only to see the Swiss charge back to lead 5-4. Zverev earned a set point of his own at 6-5 but could not convert and Federer made his third set point count. The 19-time Grand Slam champion broke in the first game of the second set to establish an iron grip on the round-robin match but Zverev hit back in the fourth to get back on level terms. Federer only landed 43 percent of first serves in the second set and it finally cost him in the 12th game, when Zverev capitalised on his third set point to force a decider.

Agencies: Badminton legend Lin Dan saved seven match points before being dumped out of the first round by Indonesia’s world number 17 Jonatan Christie. The 21-19, 21-16 defeat will ramp up speculation that the 34-year-old Lin, widely regarded as the best badminton player of all time, may soon call it quits as he approaches the end of his brilliant career. Seeded third, Lin, a five-time China Open champion, was guilty of a catalogue of errors in going down to Christie in 42 minutes in a shock upset in the Chinese city of Fuzhou.

SYD N E Y, N ov 1 5 (Agencies): Captain Mile Jedinak fired a second-half hat-trick as Australia swept into next year’s World Cup in Russia with a 3-1 aggregate playoff victory over Honduras in Sydney on Wednesday. The Aston Villa midfielder’s free kick went in off Henry Figueroa on 54 minutes, and he then buried two penalties in the space of 13 minutes before Honduras scrambled a late consolation through Alberth Elis. It will be Australia’s fourth consecutive World Cup and fifth overall. The Socceroos scored three times in the last 36 minutes after a scoreless first half. A r ge n t i n e r e f e r e e Nestor Pitana issued a total of three yellow cards, two to Australia’s Matt Jurman and Aaron Mooy and the other to Maynor Figueroa for a foul on Tim Cahill.
Honduras had to substitute injured Emilio Izaguirre nearing half-time with Henry Figueroa. Australia were fielding four across the back, with deep-lying midfielder Jedinak adding to the rearguard, but the Honduras posed little threat in the first half. Jedinak broke the deadlock in the 54th minute with free kick which deflected in off Figueroa, but was eventually credited to the skipper after initially being marked as an own goal. The goal revved up the Socceroos and the capacity home crowd, and Cahill came close with a looping header but Escober scrambled it away off the woodwork. Cahill’s night was over after 66 minutes, replaced by striker Tomi Juric to a standing ovation from the home crowd in salute to his courageous fightback from

spot-kick - his 17th goal in his 73rd international - and Australia were two-up with 18 minutes left. Substitute Robbie Kruse was then brought down as he closed in on goal and again the referee
