Assam govt delegation to visit disputed border
DIMAPUR, NOV 23, (NPN): Nagaland Governor, P.B. Acharya has welcomed the signing of an agreement between Government of India (GoI) and the Working Committee of the six NNPGs on November 17, at New Delhi. Acharya said peace talks were heading in the right direction and was hopeful for an early settlement. The Central government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has a strong political will to bring an honourable solution to the Naga issue, Acharya stated through a press note issued by the PRO. The governor thanked Prime Minister and Home Minister Rajnath Singh for their strong commitment to find a permanent solution to decades-old Naga issue. He said once a permanent solution is arrived at, it will spur progress which will create opportunities and employment and rapid development in tune with other developed states. “If India has to be prosperous, strong and peaceful, all states of the country have to be equally developed,” Acharya stated.
DUCCF, SN seek clarification from NSCN (I-M) DIMAPUR, NOV 23 (NPN): Dimapur Urban Council Chairman Federation (DUCCF) and Survival Nagaland (SN) have sought clarification from the NSCN (I-M) following the arrest of suspected illegal immigrants by police, one of them an alleged NSCN (I-M) functionary. In a statement through its media cell, DUCCF expressed dismay “to have learnt the modus operandi of NSCN (IM), utilising the service of suspected illegal immigrants/ outsiders of extremely low moral being in national service.” According to reports, DUCCF said Kabir Ahmed and Nazmul Islam, one of them supposedly a raja peyu in NSCN (I-M), were apprehended near Dimapur railway station area. Stating that it was astonished that these rogue elements were in possession of gun and drugs, the federation said such “lawlessness parasitic elements” in public places put the lives of innocents in peril. In this regard, DUCCF has asked NSCN (I-M) to clarify as to how outsiders were let into the rank and file of the organization. DUCCF also urged NSCN (I-M) to immediately terminate those two, besides removing any such outsiders from the organization, if any. It also stressed on the need for NSCN (I-M) to clean the organization of such outsiders as it was a Naga people’s movement. “Naga National movement that recruit outside elements will be putting the future Naga generation at stake,” the statement said. While lauding Dimapur Police crime branch for arresting the antisocial elements, DUCCF also extended its unflinching support to the law enforcing agency in checking criminal activities in Dimapur urban.
DUCCF further reminded all colony chairmen and GBs to check people of suspected origin and their backgrounds and report the same to the nearest police station. It further directed land and house owners not to shelter outsiders without proper verification of their background. DUCCF warned that if any house owner was found sheltering criminal characters/suspected illegal immigrants without proper verification, then concerned house owner will be held responsible. Calling upon Naga youth of all colonies to be vigilant and check antisocial elements, DUCCF proclaimed: “We must protect our land from suspected illegal immigrants and people of criminal character. The federation will never allow Dimapur to be a haven for criminals.” SN: Survival Nagaland (SN) has also sought clarification from NSCN (I-M) regarding the arrest of two non-Nagas, one of whom, it said had confessed to be an NSCN (I-M) functionary. The duo were arrested by Dimapur police for tax collection along with one .32 pistol, five live rounds, 2580 spasmo proxyvon capsules and duplicate receipt books. SN said they were “astonished beyond comprehension” at the presence of nonNagas in the Naga nationalist movement. While every Naga, by virtue of being one, has the deepest gratitude to the genuine freedom fighters who sacrificed themselves for our land and future, the presence of such people dilute the Naga national movement and the Nagas get no pleasure in receiving them as masters- deriving revenue in the name of tax collection, they said.
GUWAHATI, NOV 23 (PTI/AGENCIES): An Assam government delegation will visit the disputed border with Nagaland on Friday following reports that the neighbouring state had set up a sub-division inside Golaghat district of Assam. The delegation will be headed by Agriculture Minister, Atul Bora, an MLA of Bokakhat constituency in Golaghat district. “Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal has constituted a six-member delegation under the leadership of Agriculture Minister Atul Bora to visit AssamNagaland border to take stock of the latest situation there,” an official release said. The delegation will inspect the inter-state border tomorrow and submit a report to the chief minister, the release said here. A section of the media here recently reported that Nagaland had set up a new sub-division in Golaghat district.
Assam and Nagaland share a 434 km long boundary and the border dispute dates back to 1963 when Nagaland was carved out of Assams Naga Hills district.Assam government had filed a suit on the issue under a provision of the Constitution nearly 28 years ago and it is still pending. Meanwhile, Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) blamed the Congress for the long-pending border dispute between Assam and Nagaland. The allegation came at a time when a delegation of the APCC had visited Assam-Nagaland border areas earlier. In a statement issued to the media, AGP spokesperson Manoj Saikia said: “The Assam-Nagaland border has been tense over the years due to opportunistic policies of the Congress that let people from Nagaland to encroach upon Assam land.” AGP alleged that the Congress government in 1963 created Nagaland
NSF backs demand for suspension of NIA investigation
Court directs govt to enhance VGs salary Unified AIADMK gets ‘two
DIMAPUR, NOV 23, (NPN): Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) on Thursday came out in support of the demand of the Core Committee, comprising representative from CANSSEA, FONSESA, NSSA and NF&ASA, that the ongoing investigation by National Investigating Agency (NIA) into taxation by NNPGS involving government servants be suspended immediately. In a press note, NSF president, Kesosul Christopher Ltu and general secretary, Imtiyapang said it was imperative for Government of India (GoI) to understand the circumstances under which state government employees have to function on the matter of paying taxes to NNPGs. It said, finding fault and rendering government employees under duress will not solve the taxation issue. NSF said the ongoing probe by NIA had raised doubts in the minds of Nagas as to whether Centre was sincere in its effort to the Naga peace process. NSF said that while they were against all forms of corruption, they appealed to the GoI “to restrain from undertaking investigations/exercises which will be detrimental to the very cause of peace and political dialogues.”

KOHI M A , NOV 2 3 (NPN): In a landmark judgment for the Village Guards in Nagaland, Gauhati High Court, Kohima bench, on November 9, has directed the state government to enhance the salary of the Village Guards (VG), “not less than that of the home guard salary of the state”. This was informed by the legal advisor for Village Guard Association of Nagaland (VGAN), Alemwapang and the office bearers of VGAN at Kohima, Thursday evening. Justice Michael Sothankhuma in the court order stated that the increase in the wages and allowances should be made effective from January 1, 2017, since they were exploited and suffered for too long. The order also stated that since the VGs have waited for
State “by covering areas of undivided Sivasagar district of Assam.” Coming down heavily on APCC president Ripun Bora, Saikia said: “The Congress is now shedding crocodile tears at Merapani as a face-saving measure. Bora has forgotten that it was the AGP that moved to the Supreme Court of India on the border dispute with Nagaland, leading to status quo.” Meanwhile, AGP has also demanded from the Government of India to make public the contents of the ‘Framework Agreement’ on the proposed ‘Greater Nagalim’. “We demand the Centre to see that not an inch of Assam land is ceded to the neighbouring State,” he said, and added: “We’re, in no way, going to compromise on the territorial integrity of Assam. Despite being a coalition partner at Dispur, we’re not going to compromise on the interest of the State. We’ll continue to raise our voice.”
Gov lauds signing of Nov 17 agreement
such a day for too long a time, the exercise should be completed within a period of two months from the date of receipt of the copy of the order. Senior Advocate Taka Masa Ao and Alemwapang represented the petitioners. It also cited the letter (February 1, 1982) of the then Home minister, Zail Singh, to the Nagaland chief minister, on the occasion of the silver jubilee celebrations of the VGs, wherein Singh had acknowledged that the VGs had the singular distinction of being the recipients of the highest gallantry award- one Ashok Chakra Class I, 8 Ashok Chakra Class II, including two awarded posthumously, and five Ashok Chakra III- from 1959 to 1969 for their most conspicuous act of bravery, valour and sacrifice.
The VGAN appealed to the state government to follow the court’s direction at the earliest. President VGAN T.A Ngamlao said that with the current salary of the VGs at Rs. 1500 (Rs. 25 per day), it was impossible to make ends meet, adding that the VGs work in international and state borders with Para military forces. He said with the Rs. 25 wage per day, the VGs were sent on election duty, Road of Protection (RoP) and VIP duty and they remain on call 24 hours. Further Ngamlao said the weapons for VGs were aged ones used during British times in India and said it endangers the life of the VGs should they come across real conflict. Currently there are 9579 Village Guards from Mon, Tuensang, Kiphiri, Longleng and Meluri sub-division under Phek district.
leaves’ symbol: Tamil Nadu CM
Chennai, Nov 23 (PTI): Tamil Nadu chief minister, K. Palaniswami, Thursday, said the Election Commission (EC) has allotted the ‘two leaves’ symbol to the unified AIADMK led by him and his Deputy O Panneerselvam. However, the EC is yet to make an official announcement in this regard. Palaniswami described the development as a “welcome step” and the happiest day for the party. The AIADMK workers broke into celebration by bursting crackers and distributing sweets in front of the party headquarters here. The development is a setback to the deposed party leader VK Sasikala, who is currently serving her term in a Bengaluru jail in a disproportionate assets case, besides her nephew and sidelined deputy general sec-
retary TTV Dhinakaran. Palaniswami told reporters here that their faction had provided all the necessary documents and affidavits to prove that it had the claim for it on its majority strength in various party fora. The issue has been lingering since April in the aftermath of the announcement of by-poll to RK Nagar Assembly constituency here. However, the April 12 byelection was cancelled days ahead on allegations of use of money power and malpractices. The EC had then frozen the AIADMK party name and its symbol after then factions had staked claim over it. Panneerselvam, who first revolted against Sasikala, later merged his faction with the one led by Palaniswami after the latter rebelled against her.

D I M A P U R , NOV 2 3 (NPN): Highway Area Sumi Students’ Union (HASSU) on Thursday served seven days deadline to chief engineer National Highway w.e.f from November 27, cautioning that if the National Highway-29 from Purana Bazaar –Chumukedima was not repaired within the stipulated deadline, they would impose bandh on movement of government vehicles within its jurisdiction. In a statement HASSU president, A.

KVYO welcomes CMO’s clarification NH-702D indefinite bandh: MDTOA DIMAPUR, NOV 23 (NPN): Kohima Village Youth Organisation (KVYO) has appreciated the timely government response to the controversial words used in order to shift Hornbill International Rock Contest (HIRC) to Dimapur city. According to KVYO, “security related Issues” was too unpalatable for it in particular and for every law-abiding resident of the Capital. Even the mention of “traffic congestion” was confounding since both Kohima and Dimapur face the same problem, the organisation added. In a statement, KVYO president, Medozhatuo Rutsa and general secretary Ruokuoneitso Kire clarified that it never objected to the shifting of HIRC or any Hornbill-related activity to any part of the State by the government. “Nor is there any reason for us to do so for something that is not at all our prerogative,” it said. The organisation, however, stated that the earlier “shocking excuse defiled our image and nul-
lified all previous sacrifices”, and added that Kohima had hosted all previous editions of HIRC and other events successfully without any breach of security. “From the time Hornbill festival was first celebrated at Kohima Local Ground (Khuochiezie) till today where various events have expanded to Kisama, Peren, Zunheboto, Phek and Dimapur districts. There has never been a security threat either at Kohima or any of the other districts, including Dimapur,” KVYO pointed out. KVYO said-- “We Nagas have never been known for illtreatment of our visitors and guest. Not even the enemy during periods of unrest and conflict. Every Naga community, including Kohima village, goes out of its way to ensure the safety of people residing within. The state government should of all institutions never again give false negative and whimsical labels to places and people! Especially for an entertainment activity.”
It added: “KVYO wishes that people and communities imagine themselves in our place and understand why we couldn’t remain silent and swallow an insult upon our community publicly for a mere Rock concert!” KVYO said that from the beginning it desired that the issue be laid to rest by undoing the wrong that was said. And with CMO finally retracting the statement and “clarifying” upon the matter, the organisation expressed its gratitude to the chief minister for his maturity and also to all those upright government servants, honest public leaders of Kohima and others, besides a very supportive public who stood with KVYO when Kohima was falsely labelled in national and state media unjustly. KVYO also wished HIRC a grand success and assured its cooperation to the district and law enforcement agencies for any Hornbill Festival-related activity that might be held in its area as it was in the past.

Journalist killing leads to clashes, shutdown in Tripura
Agartala, Nov 23 (IANS): Many activists of different political parties were injured in clashes while normal life was hit in Left ruled Tripura as the BJP, Congress and other parties called a shutdown on Thursday to protest the killing of a journalist by a Tripura State Rifles (TSR) trooper. “Around 25 activists of different political parties including BJP and CPI-M were injured following the clashes in various places across Tripura,” a police official said. Police said around 600 activists of the BJP and other parties were arrested for picketing in front of government offices in different parts of the state. Most of the government, semi-government, private offices, educational institu-
tions, shops and business establishments were closed due to the strike called by the BJP, the Congress, the Trinamool Congress and the Indigenous Nationalist Party of Tripura. Banks and financial institutions were also closed in view of the shutdown, which was opposed by the ruling CPI-M led Left Front. All vehicles, except those of security forces, went off the roads. The bandh did not affect flights and train services in and out of Tripura. “The strike was successful and spontaneous,” state BJP President Biplab Kumar Deb said. Security forces led by senior police officials have been deployed across the state to prevent any untoward incident. According to police,
TSR Second Battalion Rifleman Nandu Kumar Reang shot dead Sudip Datta Bhowmik, 50, at Radha Kishore Nagar, 25 km from Agartala, following an altercation on Tuesday. Reang was the bodyguard of Second Battalion Commandant Tapan Debbarma. Bhowmik, who was a reporter with “Syandan Patrika” and television channel “Vanguard”, is survived by his wife, a government teacher, and two children. Most of the local newspapers left their editorial blank on Thursday with a thick black border to register their strong protest over the killing. Numerous theories and claims have surfaced regarding the reason behind the journalist’s killing, the second incident involving a
media man in the state. “Syandan Patrikaa” editor and Tripura Newspaper Society President Subal Kumar Dey alleged that his reporter was targeted by the commandant as the former had written many stories against him in the newspaper. “It was a pre-planned cold-blooded assassination and they tried to hide the body to destroy evidence. Bhowmik was killed as he had exposed the TSR commandant’s illegal acts,” Dey told the media. Police, however, claim Bhowmik had stolen an envelope containing a huge amount of money or some confidential documents from Debbarma’s table while the latter was in the toilet after their meeting in the office chamber.

Act East Policy aims at wiping out revolutionary movement: UNLF
Correspondent
IMPHAL, Nov 23: Manipur based United National Liberation Front (UNLF) has Thursday alleged that India’s Act East Policy was aimed at wiping out the revolutionary movement of the region. In a statement issued on the eve of its 53rd foundation celebration, UNLF alleged India of dividing the different communities of the state by spewing venoms to incite hatred among the communities. The statement of the UNLF also called for a peoples’ war to liberate the erstwhile nation to a sovereign and independent nation. Expressing concern
APOLOGY
about the fate of the indigenous people of the state, UNLF Central Committee stated, “when nations across the globe has been moving towards development in this 21st century, the Manipuris, instead of taking part in the competition, has been moving backward.” Reacting to the use of words like “Presence of rebels has hindered developmental works” by various Indian political leaders, the statement alleged it as a political gimmick to mislead the people. The UNLF said that the root of the political conflict in the region was the uncertain fate of the people of the state after it was forcibly annexed in the
Indian Union in 1949. It reminded that the period at which Manipur was annexed was a time when decolonization was taking place in the globe. “India too was decolonized by the British but in contrast it again forcibly annexed the nation state called Manipur. UNLF is only a resistance force against the colonialism which is accepted by the International law,” it said. UNLF also alleged India of waging secrete war against the people of Manipur and WESEA. “India has been sending their army in the region to dominate the region besides waging a cultural and financial imperialism war against the people,” it added.

Kovind approves bankruptcy code ordinance NEW DELHI, NOV 23 (IANS): An ordinance that bars wilful and habitual defaulters from bidding for stressed assets was promulgated on Thursday with tough provisions to prevent any attempts by them to regain control of companies in difficulty. President Ram Nath Kovind on Thursday signed the ordinance that amends the Insolvency and Banking Code (IBC) 2016 which was sent to him by the Union Cabinet on Wednesday. Breaking the news at a meeting of select editors, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said: “The ordinance disentitles the big defaulters and makes it difficult for them to bid for distressed assets which was of their own making.” He said the ordinance does not ban them from bidding for the stressed assets but would make it difficult for them and disentitles them from doing it. Giving an example he said: “You can’t say my account is NPA (non performing asset) but I have to bid. This is ethically completely unacceptable to the Indian political system. “I also have a political cost to pay. You can’t be a stressed asset and you want to join the process for bidding.” He said one solution could be that the NPA holder at least comes forward and services the interest by

Section 25(2)(h) of the Code is amended to enable the Resolution Professional, with the approval of the Committee of Creditors (CoC), to specify eligibility conditions while inviting Resolution Plans from prospective Resolution Applicants keeping in view the scale and complexity of operations of business of the Corporate Debtor to avoid frivolous applicants. A new Section 29A makes certain persons ineligible to be a Resolution Applicant. Those being made ineligible include Willful Defaulters, those who have their accounts classified as Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) for one year or more and are unable to settle their overdue amounts include interest thereon and charges relating to the account before submission of the Resolution Plan. It also includes in its ambit those who have executed an enforceable guarantee in favour of a creditor, in respect of a Corporate Debtor undergoing a Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process or Liquidation Process under the Code. Besides, it will also include persons who are Promoters or in management of control of the Resolution Applicant, or will be Promoters or in management of control of Corporate Debtor

Rs 10 to Rs 15 -thousand crore in an asset of, say, Rs one lakh crore. The Ordinance aims at putting in place safeguards to prevent unscrupulous, undesirable persons from misusing or vitiating the provisions of the Code. The amendments aim to keep-out such persons who have wilfully defaulted, are associated with nonperforming assets, or are habitually non-compliant and, therefore, are likely to be a risk to successful resolution of insolvency of a company. In addition to putting in place restrictions for such persons to participate in the resolution or liquidation process, the Amendment also provides such check by specifying that the Committee of Creditors ensure the viability and feasibility of the resolution plan before approving it. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) has also been given additional powers.
KRISHNAGAR (WB), NOV 23 (PTI): Little did Biren Kumar Basak of Nadia district imagine that his intricate artwork depicting seven episodes of Ramayana on a six-yard sari could get him an honorary doctorate from a UK-based university after two long decades. Basak, a handloom weaver from Fulia in Nadia, was felicitated with Degree of Doctorate in Record Breaking (Honouris Causa) by UK s World Records University, an autonomous institute formed by the conglomeration of record books around the world. He received the honour last week at a function in New Delhi. The masterpiece, in Basak s word, took one year of planning and two years of weaving. It was completed in 1996. “This was the first sari with a storyline and was
taken to London along with other saris for exhibition when the CM was touring England last year,” Basak said. However, awards and accolades are not new to Basak. His six-yard wonder had earned him a National Award, National Merit Certificate Award, Sant Kabir Award and also found a mention in Limca Book of Records, Indian Book of Records and World Unique Records. After getting to know about the sari featured in the Limca Book of Records in 2015, the World Records University had asked for a thesis on his work. “Ananda Modak, a teacher at a Fulia school, helped father translate his research work into English,” Abhinaba, Basak s Son, said. The sari is, however, losing its lustre and they are trying their best to preserve it, Abhinaba said.

Ensure digital space doesn’t become playground for terror: Narendra Modi
It may be recalled that the Regulations by the IBBI were also amended recently to ensure that information on the antecedent of the applicant submitting the Resolution Plan along with information on the preferential, undervalued or fraudulent transactions are placed before the Committee of Creditors in order for it to take an informed decision on the matter. An official release said steps towards improving compliances, actions against defaulting companies to prevent misuse of corporate structures for diversion of funds, reforms in the banking sector, weeding-out of unscrupulous elements from the resolution process are part of ongoing reforms initiated by the Government. These would help strengthen the formal economy and encourage honest businesses and budding entrepreneurs to work in a trustworthy, predictable regulatory environment, it said.

NEW DELHI, NOV 23 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Thursday said it will hear on November 28 a fresh plea seeking to block the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s directorial “Padmavati” outside India. A bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justice A.M. Khanwilkar and Justice D.Y. Chandrachud agreed to hear the plea after the petitioner told the court that “grave damage would be done to social harmony if the movie was allowed to be released abroad”. Advocate M.L. Sharma mentioned the matter before the bench for urgent hearing. The court posted it for Tuesday. The lawyer sought criminal prosecution of the makers of the film saying they misrepresented facts that the songs and promos were cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
NEW DELHI, NOV 23 (IANS): The CBI on Thursday filed a chargesheet against 592 persons in the multi-crore Vyapam examination scam linked with 2012 Pre Medical Test (PMT) case. Of the total persons named in the chargesheet filed in Bhopal court, 245 are new names while remaining 347 are those who have already been named as accused in the CBI’s October 31 Vyapam chargesheet which carries probe related to the 2013 PMT case. Those named in the Central Bureau of Investigation chargesheet include four Vyapam officials, chairman of four medical colleges, 11 middlemen, 46 invigilators of examination centres and 17 guardians of beneficiary candidates. The chargesheet lists former Medical Education Director (Madhya Pradesh) S.C. Tiwari and ex-Joint Director Medical Educa-
NEW DELHI, NOV 23 (IANS): Noting that cyber attacks are a significant threat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said it must be ensured that digital space does not become a playground for forces of terror and radicalisation. “The quest for an open and accessible Internet often leads to vulnerability. Stories of hacking and defacement of websites are the tip of an iceberg. They suggest that cyber attacks are a significant threat, especially in the democratic world,” he said while inaugurating the fifth edition of the Global Conference on Cyber Space (GCCS). In identical remarks, IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said radical elements and terrorists are abusing social media platforms for perpetuating hate and terror but India is determined to address the misuse of cyber space and thwart them. “Our government has effectively used social media for giving voice to the unheard but it is equally true that radical elements and terrorists are abusing this medium for perpetuating hate and terror. Radicalisation of young people through tools of social media poses grave threat to humanity,” Prasad said during his address to the gathering. “The world needs to come together to address the misuse and abuse of
tion M.N. Srivastava as the prominent persons. Four former Vyapam officials are former Director Pankaj Trivedi, former Senior System Analyst Nitin Mohindra, former Deputy System analyst Ajay Kumar Sen and Programmer C. K Mishra. The scam in Vyavsayik Pariksha Mandal (Vyapam) or Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board broke out in 2013, wherein candidates bribed officials and rigged exams by deploying imposters to write their answersheets. The scam began in 1995 involving politicians, senior officials and businessmen. The CBI took over investigation following the Supreme Court order on July 9, 2015. The charge sheet was connected to the Pre-Medical Test of 2012 -- one of several cases of irregularities in examinations conducted by Vyapam. CBI investigators said

cyber space by terrorists and hackers,” he added. “Misuse of Internet for child pornography is posing grave threat to childhood. Financial frauds and cyber attacks can eliminate the trust of ordinary citizens in cyber space. Therefore, we all need to speak in one voice against cyber crimes,” Prasad stressed. The Prime Minister said three factors -- financial inclusion through our JanDhan bank accounts; the Aadhaar platform; and the Mobile phone -- have greatly helped reduce corruption. “We need to ensure that vulnerable sections of our society do not fall prey to the evil designs of cyber criminals. Alertness towards cyber security concerns should become a way of life,” he said. Modi said the JAM trinity had also helped bring in transparency. “We call this the J.A.M. or JAM trinity. Through better targeting of subsidies, the
the organised rackets employed students from across the country to allegedly impersonate medical students and appear in recruitment exams since 2008. Middlemen manipulated seating arrangements and forged answersheets in exchange of lakhs of rupees. The arrest of 20 people in Indore blew the lid off the massive scam, which quickly snowballed into the biggest political crisis for Madhya Pradesh Chief
JAM trinity has prevented leakages to the tune of nearly $10 billion so far.” Modi said that one of the major focus areas should be the training of well equipped and capable professionals to counter cyber threats. “The term ‘hacking’ may have acquired an exciting, even if dubious, overtone. We need to ensure that cyber protection becomes an attractive and viable career option for the youth. “On a related note, nations must also take responsibility to ensure that the digital space does not become a playground for the dark forces of terrorism and radicalization. Information sharing and coordination among security agencies is essential to counter the everchanging threat landscape.” Modi said countries can strike a fine balance between privacy and openness on the one hand and national security on the other. The theme of the two-day GCCS conference is “Cyber4All: A Secure and Inclusive Cyberspace for Sustainable Development”. Modi said digital technology had emerged as a great enabler. It had paved the way for efficient service delivery and governance. It was improving access in domains from education to health. It was also helping to shape the future of business and economy.

Over 40 persons, including witnesses, accused, and alleged beneficiaries, died in mysterious circumstances ever since the scam broke out. These included a son of the then Governor Ram Naresh Yadav. Some died in freak accidents or of mysterious illnesses.

ince 2014 after three-time chief minister Neiphiu Rio was elected to the Lok Sabha and vacated the chair amid factionalism over who should succeed him, the NPF party which burst on the scene in 2003 after the then NPC was resurrected, revamped and re-christened as NPF but has been wracked by one crisis after the other. The NPF party came to power by default in 2003 and 2008 after engineering defections from other parties. It was only in 2013 and after ten years of being in continuous power and after mass defections which reduced the Congress into a poor shadow of its past that NPF could dominate state political scenario and its awesome resources shaped its resounding victory in 2013. The NPF –led DAN government had begun with a bonanza when the NDA government gifted a whopping grant of Rs.365 crore to tide over the claimed deficit. After the NDA, the UPA also generously provided funds for various projects. Three consecutive innings, spanning 15 years in power had provided unforeseen window of opportunities that came by way of massive doses of central funds particularly after the UPA rule from 2004 to 2009. The amount of money received from the centre during NPF rule since 2013 is mind boggling. With so much money going around the greed virus infected the entire system where the bureaucracy was busy preparing Detailed Project Reports(DPRs) to get funds under various projects. Unfortunately, the elected leaders were least interested about statecraft and became more involved with crafting schemes. Since 2014 the NPF was shaken by crisis four times-2014,2015,2016 and 2017. It was in 2015 that the party was almost ripped apart and the matter became so serious that there appeared to be two parallel party organisations. The issue was filed as a case and taken to the Election Commission of India for arbitration. Eventually, the rift and division had to take a back seat after the ECI asked both sides to reconcile and for which the NPF central was asked to hold its General Convention. Of course by then the coup against the chief minister also folded up and the end to the rebellion was quelled after the Governor was asked to summon the assembly for the vote of confidence in February 2016. The same situation has arisen where two parallel party organisations are claiming to be recognised as the original NPF by the ECI. The NPF under Neiphiu Rio and TR Zeliang held the party general convention in Dimapur on October 20 with a massive turnout and hoping it would be the icing on the cake for getting the nod from the ECI. However, the ECI turned to the NPF under its party president Dr.Shürhozelie Liezietsü to repeat the 2015 exercise of bringing reconciliation through the party general convention and if not then utilise the party constitution with majority(2/3rd of all registered members) to resolve the issue. The NPF under Dr. Shürhozelie held their convention in Kohima on November 22, 2017 where party members and workers in their thousands also attended and passed resolutions unanimously. Now the ball is in the ECI court and fighter cocks will now have to await which group the ECI will favour as the genuine party or freeze the ‘Cock’ symbol and flag till the voters decide.

The Distraction of Contempt
Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us! For we are exceedingly filled with contempt. —Psalm 123:3 What we must beware of is not damage to our belief in God but damage to our Christian disposition or state of mind. “Take heed to your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously” (Malachi 2:16). Our state of mind is powerful in its effects. It can be the enemy that penetrates right into our soul and distracts our mind from God. There are certain attitudes we should never dare to indulge. If we do, we will find they have distracted us from faith in God. Until we get back into a quiet mood before Him, our faith is of no value, and our confidence in the flesh and in human ingenuity is what rules our lives. Beware of “the cares of this world…” (Mark 4:19). They are the very things that produce the wrong attitudes in our soul. It is incredible what enormous power there is in simple things to distract our attention away from God. Refuse to be swamped by “the cares of this world.” Another thing that distracts us is our passion for vindication. St. Augustine prayed, “O Lord, deliver me from this lust of always vindicating myself.” Such a need for constant vindication destroys our soul’s faith in God. Don’t say, “I must explain myself,” or, “I must get people to understand.” Our Lord never explained anything— He left the misunderstandings or misconceptions of others to correct themselves. When we discern that other people are not growing spiritually and allow that discernment to turn to criticism, we block our fellowship with God. God never gives us discernment so that we may criticize, but that we may intercede.

Naga Christians: Good Church Members, Bad Kingdom Citizens
W
hen a bride becomes too preoccupied with her own self, she is not doing well for her bridegroom nor for other people around her. Similarly, could we say that the Naga Church has become a “selfabsorbed bride” to such an extent that she is failing the Lord as well as the society around her? For most Naga Christians, the institution of the church has become a “demigod,” because we have turned the church into a prime object of our love and a center of our lives, as if the church is an end in itself. For all this we can’t blame our rank and file Christians. Even our Pastors and priests are mostly about increasing their church members, delivering Sunday sermons, and having feelgood worship experiences. If at all they are reaching out to non-Christians, their concern seems to be only about getting converts and preparing them for heaven. These are all good, but, I am afraid, they are blinding us from seeing things beyond the church walls.
We have obsessively preoccupied ourselves with church so much so that we have shut Jesus out and have forgotten His teaching about our duties as kingdom citizens. No doubt, the Church is very important to Jesus Christ. But only two of His reported sayings contain the word “church.” In His earthly life, His whole mission was about the kingdom of God. He came preaching about it and spoke of it right after His resurrection. That implies that the kingdom of God was so dear to Him. He lived in it, and from it He looked out to the world. He not only foretold about it, but initiated it by His life and work. As followers of Jesus Christ, the kingdom of God should be very dear to us too. But what exactly is the kingdom of God? Let’s briefly explain: First, the kingdom of God is about God’s reign over individuals, societies, and nations on earth. It is the energy of God realizing itself in every aspect of human life --- whether spiritual, moral, social,
economic, or political. ongoing spiritual warfare, It is humanity organized Christians are called to according to the will of demolish the strongholds God.

For mation of God’s kingdom these Christians, kingdom awaits a future time. But in citizenship has no earthly the here-and-now, it has a relevance in this present partial and earthly reality, life. No wonder then, they although it is in constant are “sleeping” kingdom conflict with the kingdom citizens. of Satan. In view of this To assume that the
task of the Church is supreme is to miss a higher purpose of the Church, which is to build the kingdom of God on earth. Of course, bringing people to God is part of advancing God’s kingdom. But that is just the first step. The rest is essentially about living as kingdom citizens and promoting God’s rule on earth. If Christians had not confined themselves within the limits of the church, they would have made the world a better place. If the Church had understood that she is just a part of God’s kingdom and that her mission is to advance the kingdom of God on earth, then she would not have fallen into such sloth and indifference. Some Christians tend to think that the Apostle Paul was all about the gospel of salvation for individuals. This is half-truth. Even near the end of his earthly life, Paul was busy declaring the kingdom of God from morning till evening. In other words, the Christian message is much more than getting people to receive Christ, bringing them to church, and
preparing them for heaven. Therefore, like Jesus and Paul, we must include preaching the message of the kingdom of God. History has scattered examples of God’s rule on earth. During the time of King David and King Solomon, we see the manifestation of God’s rule on earth, although it was not called “the kingdom of God.” Another example could be during the reign of Emperor Constantine when the City of Rome, with all her flaws and shortcomings, possibly came close to displaying many kingdom qualities. Then, coming to modern times, we have the United States of America and South Korea, seeking God’s kingdom at least in the early part of their national histories. Now, what about Nagaland? Oh, how I wish we could be next in the manifestation of God’s kingdom on earth! But perhaps that will happen only if we, Naga Christians, stop being merely good church members and start living as real kingdom citizens.

Dust bath in road dusts
hanks to the Nagaland Pollution Control Board! They came out crying foul. It was better late than never. Just a week back there was a profound discussion going on all around by many people and even among us friends wondering “Where the hell is the NPCB? Does a pollution control board even exist here in Nagaland? Or why don’t the NPCB bring to court those responsible lots for endangering people’s lives by so much pollution? Why it is not crying fault with so much dust pollution from these unrepaired roads? The road dusts around us are a sure guarantee for a respiratory disease and lung infection for many of us. Four times beyond the permissible limit wouldn’t even wake up our conscience. If Delhi suffers from smog, then Dimapur is suffering from road dust. Unpaved roads are the largest source of air pollution in Dimapur. Pedestrians, motorists, vendors, shopkeepers, school children, college going students, old and young alike, both rich and poor all seems to be inhaling dusts at enormous rate from the dusts that have accumulated and flying all our five senses. Failure to address such miscellaneous by concern authorities are nothing new here but vital issues are now seem to be calculating and multiplying through enraged silence of the populace. A time is not long away when people will be filing cases in the court for those responsible. Even the presence of even little smoke is considered harmful for newborn and toddlers. The air quality can lead to slow brain development, mental irritation and even psychological problems because the level of pollution is said to reach deep into the lungs and breach the lung-brain barrier. Asthma, allergy, eye irritation are only going to get more common. We only have to imagine how much of road dusts flying around here in this town are we inhaling, only heaven knows. The amount of dust we see in the unrepaired portion of our pathetic and the dismal dust filled potholed roads from the police point near the Tourist Lodge till to the supermarket is indeed beyond any sane society can endure. The traffic policemen are the most suffered ones. It is learnt that the Central Pollution Control Board, just some months back, has asked three states, Assam, Meghalaya and Nagaland to control pollution. And among them Kohima and Dimapur is in the top list .Besides many other maladies, the Dimapur city at present seems to be suffering from overpopulation, over-congestion and as discussed, from pollution caused by road dust with comparatively smaller contributions
from vehicles, brick-kilns and yet seems no one bothers except mumblings and mutterings from the comforts of their four walls and inside the luxury of their AC cars. “The Naga conscience is dead. Is it?” a friend who stays abroad and comes once in a while here to visit his relatives asked me. I only have to answer, “Seems so.” CNN reported two weeks back that ‘Fresh air doesn’t exist in Delhi at present’. What about Dimapur then? If Delhi seems to be a city under siege from toxic air, then Dimapur is completely under siege from road dusts. If Delhi has become a gas chamber, then Dimapur surely is becoming a dust chamber. November 2017 saw the Great Smog of Delhi engulfed the whole city. Dimapur too seems to be under a spell of dust now.Air quality typically worsen before the onset of winter as cooler air gets trapped near the ground and prevents them for dispersing near the ground and prevents them from dispersing into the atmosphere, a phenomenon known as inversion. Though Dimapur can never be compared with Delhi in terms of huge vehicular pollution, industrial smoke and emissions of airborne dusts from construction site, the road dust in Dimapur is indeed overwhelming and tremendous and has gone beyond our words. While we all remain immersed so much in our daily life, we are failing to notice what adverse effect or harm is it doing to us. Though many civil societies have been vocal in other contentious and debatable issues, they have remained indifferent to such faulty and incorrect experiences we come across in our daily lives. The right to clean air and breath healthily for every citizen should also be made mandatory as any other right enshrined in the constitution. Improper urban planning, lack of education and mass awareness and unconcerned denizens have multiplied the woes of urbanites. The common people in the autos and two wheelers or those who cannot afford to put on the car AC have to bear this grueling episode and the brunt of it. I feel for the little children moving around in autos and two-wheelers without any protection. Many students plying in two wheelers and autos are suffering greatly while travelling to their classes. The little protective gear, usually the cloth mask, which some wear but how much can it protect them? One prominent writer from our neighbouring state has recently written on the amount of dust on our almost non-existing roads. Even the visibility is fully obstructed and chances of accidents are increased. The risk of the health hazards like respiratory problems are much inflated by the dust all
around. The number of young deaths in Nagaland seems to be ever increasing with diseases such as cancer, heart attacks and one more cause of death seems to have added, and that is pollution caused by Dust .Doctors say the microscopic particles from those toxins can penetrate deeply into the lungs, increasing the risk of strokes and heart attacks. A quick fix solution for the chronic road dust problem can be solved only by constructing our present pathetic and miserable conditioned roads. Roads show the face of a country and its people. And we can see how well it is showing the world by the roads we have here. Mere lipsticking style of repair or black coating of the outer layer would never bring any solution. Our authorities need to roll out some emergency steps and quickly look into these issues before many Nagas are faced with breathing problems and shortening their lives. But the first shower of rain washing away the top layer is a testimony of how our roads are repaired. Writing the contractor’s name on the side of the road may atleast bring some solution to repair properly and satisfactorily. Local authorities like colony GBs, chairman and councils should play a pivotal role in monitoring the repairing of the roads by the department and contractors. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, unpaved roads produce almost five times as much particulate matter as construction activities and wind erosion (the next two largest sources) combined. In addition to polluting the air, dust can be a health problem for nearby residents. It also settles on plants up to 500 feet from the road edge, slowing their growth and reducing crop yields. It takes courage and a lot of sacrifice to remake ourselves and again still need more courage and lots of sacrifice to transform a society that is so callous and lost in transition. While Hornbill Festival, International Trade Expo and many such programmes has started to draw some global aspirations, our governance style has failed miserably in addressing local inspirations. But it seems nothing is happening much here in Nagaland except some ignited young minds, trying to bring the elusive change in this tiny state where most of the major stakeholders like civil societies, student organisations choose to remain mute. Every concerned person should not hesitate to voice out what is essential for a good and a healthy nation. Good roads are citizens’ rights and when we cannot demand our own rights, can we say our conscience is still alive? Jonah Achumi
Plebiscite: 16th May 1951 the roots of Naga national movement
T
he plebiscite of May 16 1951 was conducted to strongly advocate the sovereign rights of the Naga’s. This plebiscite was executed not because of a mere resentment over Indian occupation. It promulgate a strong message to the adversaries and the rest of the world, a sovereign Naga independence which is deeply conceived/ instilled in every Naga’s blood. It emphasize onone can determined one own destiny without interference. However witnessing the present political discourse between the GOI, NSCN (IM) and the six N.N.P.G, it has added more of a complexities to the protracted Naga political issue rather than achieving the desire goal. Much had been shared and persuaded over 3rd August F/A from different angle, but the question still remain as to what in-store with all the talks and dialogue. The ventures failed to bring fruitful conclusion without incorporating sovereignty. In spite of a decade long negotiation the outcome always seems to contradict the plebiscite of 16th MAY 1951 and without any certainty of success. The recent initiative by G.O.I to subsequently include the six N.N.P.G for dialogue has been applauded by some civil societies; yet it remain elusive with bigger perplexities as to whether the six N.N.P.G are invited to table their separate proposal with a separate solution outside the domain of framework agreement?
After all, at the end of the day we only have one common solution to hammer i.e. “sovereignty”. While talk is going on much can be put across the table, however in the absence of sovereignty it is just re-wrapping the old package (16th Point Agreement) to let it looks appealing. A partial solution is not what the Naga’s lays down their life for. Any negotiation eluding sovereignty is nothing but a complete blunders to a decade long struggle, a sellout of every Naga’s dreams that aspires to live a liberty and freedom from the bondage of Indian. As far as the longest political conflict of South-East Asia is concern it is not or never a case of secession but defending an inalienable rights that had been intentionally subjugated by the aggressor. Negotiation at this juncture should not remain shrouded but should be put in public domains. The very essence of nationalistic approach is diminishing with multiple talks and dialogues often without any significance outcome and remain to be seen. In spite of what precede, with strong conviction we shall continue to embark in upholding the plebiscite of 16 MAY 1951 as we confide our struggle into the hand of our Almighty God. Z.Khamo, (Asst. Secretary), Naga National Council
Reader’s Post
Regular service throughout the year Sir,
With hardly a week left for the Hornbill Festival to take off, the venue is busy under preparation with many visitations from VIPs etc. While utmost care and effort is being put into the success of the hornbill festival for a few days, out larger and more pressing needs have been put in the backlog. For instance, the heavy load shedding that is taking place in Kohima and I am sure in other districts as well. All these inconveniences are due to repair of damaged transformers etc as informed through print media. However, is it not the responsibility of the department to ensure that transformers are maintained and checked on regular basis? Do we have to wait for a particular incident to take place and then hurriedly assure public that it was due to natural calamity or unfortunate incident etc. Electricity is one major utility that people cannot do without. Everything hinges on the regular supply of power and it is important that regularity is not only during hornbill festival but throughout the year. We have failed in everything and in everywhere and we should be ashamed to even promote our state in this pitiable condition. When are we going to ever shine as a successful state? Marina S. Angami, AG Colony Kohima

Airfares may go up as govt IBC bars defaulters from plans to raise services fee bidding for stressed assets New Delhi, Nov 23 (PTI): In a blow to defaulting promoters seeking to reclaim their firms that are under insolvency proceedings, the government today promulgated an ordinance to bar wilful bank loan defaulters as well as those with NPA accounts from bidding in auctions being done to recover loans. The ordinance aims at putting in place safeguards to prevent unscrupulous persons from misusing or vitiating the provisions of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), the corporate affairs ministry said in a statement. The amendments would be applicable to cases where the resolutions are yet to be approved. The amendments to the insolvency law need to be approved by Parliament in its next session which is likely to begin on December 15. The changes essentially mean that certain promoters would not be allowed to bid for their own assets under the insolvency proceedings initiated to recover overdue loans.
In the first phase, as many as 12 companies with over Rs 5,000 crore of overdue loans each, including Bhushan Steel, Essar Steel, Lanco Infratech, Monnet Ispat and Electrosteel, were referred by the RBI for resolution under this law. In several of these cases, the original promoters themselves are among the bidders. Amid rising concerns that a defaulting promoter could wrest back control of the company that is under insolvency even as banks take a hit on the loans, the government on Wednesday approved promulgating an ordinance to amend the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. President Ram Nath Kovind has given assent to the ordinance, the ministry said today. “The amendments aim to keep out such persons who have wilfully defaulted, are associated with non-performing assets, or are habitually noncompliant and, therefore, are likely to be a risk to
successful resolution of insolvency of a company,” it said. As per the ordinance, those who have their accounts classified as nonperforming assets (NPAs) for one year or more and are unable to settle their overdue amounts include interest thereon and charges relating to the account before submission of the resolution plan would be ineligible. Corporates, promoters, holding companies, subsidiaries, and associate companies or related parties undergoing insolvency resolution or liquidation under the IBC would not be eligible for bidding for the stressed assets. Under the amended code, Committee of Creditors (CoC) has to ensure the viability and feasibility of a resolution plan before approving it. The CoC should “reject a resolution plan, which is submitted before the commencement of the Ordinance but is yet to be approved”, the statement said.
NEW DELHI, Nov 23 (Agencies): Passengers should brace themselves for a fare increase, as the government is likely to raise the passenger services fee (PSF) by at least 38% to meet the cost of security at Indian airports. The government, which earlier had plans to not raise PSF and transfer the cost to consolidated fund of India (CFI), will now have to raise it, after the finance ministry declined to fund the deficit. “The finance ministry has agreed to transfer the cost to CFI but only if it is revenue-neutral for them, which would mean we will have to raise PSF. We estimate that the raise could be in the range of Rs 50 per ticket, which would not just help bridge the annual fund gap but also the deficit accumulated over the years,” said a senior aviation ministry official, who did not want to be identified. A PSF of Rs 130 is charged on every ticket booked and the fund accumulated from the levy is used to fund security cost at airports, primarily to pay salaries of the CISF personnel manning the airports. The aviation ministry
was of the view that any increase in rates would burden passengers and wanted the finance ministry to shift the cost of security at airports to the consolidated fund of India. Once the cost head is moved to the consolidated fund, the government would finance the deficit directly. However, the finance ministry has refused to fund any deficit. “Now, whether we decide to continue with the existing system or move to CFI, the raise in PSF is bound to happen,” said the official. Officials said that it costs more than Rs 1,300 crore to provide security at airports across the country, while the fund collected through PSF falls short by about Rs 500 crore. Of this shortfall, the state-owned Airports Authority of India (AAI) has a deficit of Rs 150 crore a year, which it says it pays from its own corpus. Private airports, however, do not pay from their own corpus. The issue of deficit piling up was also flagged off by Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) DG OP Singh, who had sought government’s intervention in getting CISF dues cleared.

DUCCF, SN seek clarification...
(From p-1)
SN called this an act of “molesting our patriotism and a mockery to nationalism”. Expressing strong dismay over repeated notices of such incidents, SN said as “legal citizens of Nagaland”, they sought answers to some questions. Reminding that Nagas had been in this struggle since 1947 with the purpose of a political identity and have had to endure their villages being burnt down, womenfolk being raped and thousands of men sacrificing their lives, SN said it was sad that the national movement was losing its credibility with non-Nagas as cadres. “What if tomorrow they claim their rights stating that they’ve contributed in the Naga freedom struggle?” SN questioned. They went on to state that the big question was whether “NSCN (I-M) is trying to legalise people of doubtful origin as legal citizens of Nagaland?”
SN also questioned the criteria for recruitment into the national movement and wondered how Kabir Ahmed was recruited as raja peyu in the NSCN (I-M) government. “What important patriotism and services do Izul Lokman, Sajuddin, Nurjahan, Johar Ali and Hashim etc. render to the NSCN (I-M) in the fight for freedom? (tax collectors and chief tax collector respectively as confessed by them and published by media earlier. They were arrested by Assam Rifles with 9mm pistol and silencer)”, SN asked. It questioned “what is the share of non-Nagas in the national movement? Is there any quota/reservation policy laid down in the national Yezahbo? If the fight for Nagas is sovereignty, what long term goal do we share with people of doubtful origin? Stating that the threat of Nagaland becoming another
Tripura because of “suspected illegal immigrants” was not a new subject, they wondered if NSCN (I-M) knew who could legally reside in Nagaland, including the recruited cadres. While stating that there were still thousands of unidentified residents yet to be verified by authorities, SN said Naga identity was too precious to be diluted and to get lost in the interest of unscrupulous political interest. SN said the talks of Government of India recognizing the “uniqueness of Naga history” was never without the ‘indigenous’ issue. However, if people of doubtful origin/Non-Nagas are recruited into the national interest, Nagas should give up their fight for a sovereign nation, SN said. In view of these, SN said “Survival Nagaland would be pleased to get timely clarification from the esteemed authority of NSCN (I-M).”
Oil, gas PSU mergers exempt from CCI approval
NEW DELHI, Nov 23 (PTI): Merger and acquisition deals involving public sector oil and gas companies have been exempted from seeking the Competition Commission approval, says a notification. The corporate affairs ministry’s decision to exempt such deals from the ambit of the Competition Commission of India (CCI) comes against the backdrop of the proposed consolidation and stake purchases among state-owned oil and gas companies.

It also expressed resentment, that with systems already in place for ARV drugs stock management, PLHIV have to frequently face drugs shortages and non availability of stock, which greatly affects the treatment process and the mental health of the PLHIV who are on ARV drugs. Therefore, NNP+ urged NSACS to immediately address the frequent breakdown of CD 4 machines and for better stock management to ensure regular supply of ARV drugs so as to quickly move towards achievement of treatment target of 90:90:90 by 2020.

Pak court orders release of Hafiz Saeed Deal signed to return Myanmar Rohingyas US hits back after Pakistan court order
Hafiz Saeed makes his way out of a Pakistani court in Lahore after being released from house arrest.
Mumbai attack mastermind and banned Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed is a terrorist leader designated by both the United Nations and the United States, the Trump administration said on Wednesday, hours after a Pakistani court ordered his release from detention. The banned Jamaatud-Dawah head, who carries a bounty of USD 10 million announced by the US for his role in terror activities, has been under detention since January this year. “The US is aware of media reports that Pakistan (court) ordered release of
Lashkar-e-Taiba leader Hafiz Saeed from house arrest,” a State Department spokesperson told PTI when asked about the decision of the Judicial Review Board of Punjab province which refused to extend Saeed’s detention. As such, Saeed is all set to be released from house arrest after the expiry of the detention order on Thursday. Responding to a question, the State Department was quick to express its displeasure over the potential release of Saeed from house arrest. In May 2008, the United States Department of the Treasury designated

The demise of Mugabe leaves Zimbabwe facing a different situation to other African countries where veteran leaders have been toppled in popular uprisings or through elections. By contrast, the a r my h a s e n g i n e e r e d Mnangagwa`s path to power and for decades he was a faithful lieutenant of Mugabe and member of his elite. He was also in charge of internal security when rights groups say 20,000 civilians were killed in the 1980s. “Mugabe has gone but I don`t see Mnangagwa doing anything different from that old man. This is not the change I expected but let us give him time,”
said security guard Edgar Mapuranga, who sat by a bank cash machine that was out of money. Zimbabwe`s next leader faces the task of restoring the country`s fortunes. Alleged human rights abuses and flawed elections prompted many Western countries to impose sanctions in the early 2000s that hurt the economy. Chinese investment softened the blow but the population of 13 million remains mainly poor and faces currency shortages and high unemployment. Staging clean elections next year will be key to winning fresh investment. Mnangagwa is almost certain to win that election but it would be a victory for the country`s “old elites”
with the aid of China, said Guenther Nooke, German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s personal representative for Africa. “He will manage to get elected using fear or many tricks, and then we`ll have a succession from one tyrant to the next,” Nooke told broadcaster SWR2. China`s foreign ministry said on Wednesday it respected Mugabe`s decision to resign. Former colonial power Britain wants Zimbabwe to rejoin the international community now Mugabe has resigned, Prime Minister Theresa May said. Mnangagwa met South Africa`s President Jacob Zuma in the capital Pretoria on Wednesday, the eNCA television channel said.

der pressure on the issue, for different reasons. Bangladesh wants to show its population that the Rohingya will not be permanent residents - it was already hosting about 400,000 before the latest influx. The Burmese authorities - and particularly de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi - are responding to international calls to do more to resolve the crisis. Amnesty International said it doubted there could be safe or dignified returns of Rohingya to Myanmar “while a system of apartheid remains” and added that it “hoped those who do not want to go home are not forced to do so”. “It is completely premature to be talking about returns when hundreds of Rohingya continue to flee persecution and arrive in Bangladesh on an almost daily basis,” a spokesperson said.

Islamabad/London, Nov 23 (PTI): Pakistan’s embattled Finance Minister Ishaq Dar has been relieved of his duties after the ailing politician, declared a proclaimed absconder by a court in the Panama Papers case, requested leave for three months. Dar, 67, had arrived in London nearly a month ago and has been seeking treatment of an undefined heart complication at a Harley Street hospital. He can avail a maximum of three-month leave and should resume duty by February 21 otherwise he could be permanently relieved of charge, according to rules. However, sources said that the development may eventually bring to an end Dar’s almost four-and-ahalf-year stint as the finance minister. Dar sent a threepage letter to the Prime Minister’s Office on Monday seeking leave of absence. In it, he narrated his health condition, saying that his surgeon had asked him to avoid international air travel. He said his medical tests in UK showed “diffuse coronary heart disease and possible ischemic heart disease”.

On Wednesday, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Myanmar’s military action against the minority Rohingya population constituted ethnic cleansing. “The ‘Arrangement’ stipulates that the return shall commence within two months,” a press release from the Bangladeshi government said. Few other details were released following the signing of the memorandum in Myanmar’s capital Nay Pyi Taw. Bangladesh Foreign Minister Mahmood Ali said it was a “first step”. A senior Myanmar official Myint Kyaing said it was ready to receive the Rohingya “as soon as possible”. Myanmar’s conditions of return remain unclear, and many Rohingya are terrified of being sent back. Both countries are un-

H a r a r e , N ov 2 3 (Agencies): Zimbabwe`s former vice president Emmerson Mnangagwa will be sworn in as president on Friday, marking a new era for the country ruled by Robert Mugabe from independence nearly four decades ago until his swift downfall this week. The ruling ZANU-PF party has nominated Mnangagwa to fill the vacancy left by Mugabe on Tuesday and he will be sworn in on Friday, said Jacob Mudenda, the speaker of parliament. Mugabe sacked Mnangagwa as vice president two weeks ago to smooth a path to the succession for his wife Grace, who is much younger than the 93-yearold leader. Mnangagwa fled for his own safety and the military seized control, shattering Mugabe`s authority. He returned to Zimbabwe on Wednesday, a ZANU-PF official said. Mnangagwa issued a statement from hiding on Tuesday calling on Zimbabweans to unite to rebuild the country. Mugabe held on for a week with ZANU-PF and others urging him to quit. He finally stepped down on Tuesday as parliament began an impeachment process. People danced in the

LeT and several of its front organisations, leaders, and operatives remain under both State Department and Treasury Department sanctions, the State Department official noted. “The US reiterates its stance that LeT is a designated Foreign Terrorist Organisation responsible for the death of hundreds of innocent civilians in terrorist attacks, including a number of American citizens,” the spokesperson told PTI.
Nay Pyi Taw, Nov 23 (Agencies): Bangladesh has signed a deal with Myanmar to return hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims who fled a recent army crackdown. A statement from the Bangladesh foreign ministry said displaced people could begin to return within two months. The two sides say they are working on the details. The crisis has been called ethnic cleansing by the UN and the US. Aid agencies have raised concerns about the forcible return of the Rohingya unless their safety can be guaranteed. The Rohingya are a stateless minority who have long experienced persecution in Myanmar, also known as Burma. More than 600,000 have fled to neighbouring Bangladesh since violence erupted in Rakhine state

victory of truth and called the decision “a serious blow” to India’s demands that he be kept in custody and punished for the 2008 massacre, Dawn online reported. Following the decision, Saeed supporters chanted slogans and showered him with rose petals. The court had warned the government last month that it would end Saeed’s house arrest if enough evidence was not submitted against him. Saeed’s advocate A.K. Dogar earlier said the JuD leaders had been detained merely on the basis of allegations, without any substantial evidence against them, and called the call for extending the detention “illegal” and a “violation of basic rights”. Dogar alleged that the government had placed Saeed under house arrest to oblige the US. Seeking an end to his detention, Saeed argued that his captivity without any legality amounted to a violation of the Constitution and his human rights.

Islamabad/ Washi n g t o n , N ov 2 2 (IANS/ Agencies): A Pakistan court on Wednesday ordered the release of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) founder Hafiz Saeed, blamed for the horrific 2008 Mumbai terror attack, from house arrest that began in January this year. A Judicial Review Board consisting of judges from the Lahore High Court rejected a plea from Punjab province to extend Saeed’s detention after a senior Finance Ministry official failed to convince the board that his release would lead to diplomatic and other problems for Pakistan. The Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief will be freed on the midnight of November 24 after the expiry of the house arrest order. Saeed and his four aides had been under house arrest since January under the AntiTerrorism Act. Following the decision, Saeed told media that an end to his detention was tantamount to the

Chennaiyin FC outplay NorthEast United FC 3-0 Sindhu enters Hong Kong Open
Chennaiyin FC players celebrate after scoring a goal against NorthEast United FC.
Chennai, Nov 23 (PTI): Chennaiyin FC bounced back from a losing start in ISL season 4 as they beat North East United FC 3-0 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here tonight. It was the first win for Chennaiyin at home over NEUFC in the ISL and only their second victory over their North-East rivals. In an impressive per-
formance, the home side gave the Guwahati outfit the blues. An own goal and a strike by Raphael Augusto put the former ISL champions 2-0 ahead at half-time and then added a late goal through Mohammed Rafi to take home three points. Aiming to recover from a 2-3 defeat at the hands of FC Goa in the opener on Sunday last, Chennaiyin
FC started in a brisk manner and went on the attack from the word go. The home side had an opportunity to go ahead in the eighth minute when Gregory Nelson, after some excellent work down the left side, crossed to Francisco Fernandes, who missed out. Earlier in the fourth minute, the Highlanders
came close to taking the lead but Seiminel Doungel made a hash of it after Chennaiyin shot-stopper Karanjit Singh messed up with a clearance. The deadlock was broken in the 11th minute as the home team went ahead, albeit through Abdul Hakku’s defensive blunder. Raphael Augusto cut inside from the left and upon seeing the space available kept moving forward and had a shot at the goal. Hakku, who looked to head it away, directed it straight past his keeper and into the goal. The Chennaiyin players kept pushing in an attempt to increase the lead though NEUFC kept making the occasional foray into the rival box. In the 24th minute, the home team got what it wanted, a second goal. Bikramjit Singh started with a diagonal into Gregory Nelson who made a run behind the right-back into the box.

L o n d o n, N ov 2 3 ( Ag e n c i e s ) : M a n chester United conceded a late goal to lose 1-0 to Basel in Group A of the Champions League. Michael Lang popped up at the back post to tap home in the 89th minute to give the hosts a hard-earned three points after ceding possession to United for much of the match. J o s e M o u r i n h o ’s team had the better of the chances in the opening 45 minutes, but through a mix of bad luck, some decent defending in the final third by Basel and strong play by Tomas Vaclík in net, no
goals ever came. The hosts were far the stronger side coming out of the dressing room, though, with Renato Steffen forcing a save from Sergio Romero in the 56th minute before firing a lovely curled shot just wide of the far post minutes later. Marcus Rashford, on for Jesse Lingard in the 64th minute, saw his shot from a Romelu Lukaku pass skip into the side netting, before Lang eventually decided the clash. The result moves Basel into second place in the group - level on points with CSKA Moscow but ahead on goal difference - while
Four Indian boxers in fray on day 1 of semis
Guwahati, Nov 23 (PTI): Four of the seven Indian boxers in the semifinals will be in action tomorrow with local favourite Ankushita Boro (64kg) taking centrestage when the first set of last-four stage bouts take place in the AIBA Women’s Youth World Boxing Championships here. Ten bouts in the fly, feather, welter, middle and heavy categories are on the cards tomorrow. Jyoti Gulia will kick off India’s challenge in the flyweight category, taking on Kazakhstan’s Abdraimova Zhansaya, the conqueror of USA’s Heaven Garcia who was earlier tipped to walk away with the title. Next in line will be Shashi Chopra (57kg), up against Mongolian Mong-
hor Namuun. Boro against Thailand’s Saksri Thanchanok in the light- welter category. India’s fourth boxer on view, Neha Yadav (+81kg) will have her hands full against Islambekova Dina of Kazakhstan. “I never put a count on medals because I believe in good performances. Medals will come if you box well. I had aimed for seven medals and I’m very happy that we have achieved that. I believe we could have won a couple more though,” India coach Rafaelle Bergamasco said. “We have gone through the videos of all our opponents and have our strategy in place. I will give the coaches individual methodology for the boxers and ask them to work on it. No hard training today,” he added.
NFA executive meeting
Dimapur, Nov 23 (NPN): The Nagaland Football Association (NFA) has convened an executive meeting on November 27 at 12:00 noon at the conference hall of Nagaland Bharat Scouts & Guides HQs, Bayavu Hill, Kohima. The meeting will discuss matters relating to the forthcoming 1st Nagaland Olympics. Therefore all the office bearers and district association presidents or his representatives have been asked to attend the meeting without fail.
United will need a result on their final matchday on December 5 against CSKA to ensure qualification. Meanwhile, Barcelona earned qualification to the Champions League knockout stage with a 0-0 draw against Juventus at the Allianz Stadium. Barca star Lionel Messi started the Group D clash from the bench, marking the first time since Oct. 16 of last year he had not begun a club match by his manager’s choice. Lucas Digne fluffed his lines after a defensive mistake from Juan Cuadrado left him free in the box
in the 69th minute, but his unconvincing cross was easily cut out by the Juve defence in what was the best chance of the second half. And that was the best either side could muster on a cagey night in Italy. Also, Chelsea secured their qualification for the round of 16 with a 4-0 victory against 10-man Qarabag. Chelsea were ahead after 21 minutes when Eden Hazard converted from the penalty spot after Rasad Sadiqov had brought down Willian in the area, with the Qarabag man receiving a red card for the challenge. The visitors then doubled their lead nine minutes from half-time with Willian tucking the ball away in the bottom corner after playing a clever one-two with Hazard. Chelsea made it three in the 73rd minute, with Cesc Fabregas picking out the bottom corner from the penalty spot -- having been ordered to retake his original effort -- after Willian had been tugged back by Maksim Medvedev, before Willian then added a fourth five minutes from time as he rifled home a low strike from the edge of the box.
Nelson looked to square it with his head, but it deflected off the defender into Raphael Augusto’s path who slotted it in past the diving NorthEast United goalie. The second half saw NEUFC got off the blocks quickly in pursuit of goals but solid defending by Chennaiyin and poor marksmanship let them down. Early in the second half, a foul from Chennai skipper Henrique Sereno on Lalrindika Ralte saw NorthEast United get a free kick 25 yards out on the left. Marcinho fired one towards the right corner but it went over the crossbar, much to the relief of the home players and fans. As the game wore on and the visiting side’s attempts were thwarted by Chennaiyin defenders, came a third goal in the dying moments. Rafi, who came in for Jeje, headed in after the ball bounced after hitting the NEUFC goalkeeper’s head.

Sindhu crushed Japan’s Aya Ohori in straight games to qualify for the last eight of the tournament. Sindhu recorded a 21-14, 21-17 win in just 39 minutes to continue her unbeaten record against the Japanese star. In the one-sided match, Sindhu got into the groove early to the lead in the first game against her less-illustrious opponent. The 2014 Olympics silver medallist took the first game 21-14 to illustrate her dominance in the match. The second game started in the same manner as the first — with Sindhu surging into the lead early

In another match, eighth seed Chen Yufei of China edged past Saina 1821, 21-19, 21-10 in a marathon match which lasted an
hour. After winning the first game, Saina could not step up the pressure and was beaten by the Chinese shuttler in the next two games. Meanwhile, it was curtains for India in the men’s singles after HS Prannoy went down fighting to Japan’s Kazumasa Sakai 21-11, 10-21, 15-21 in a 54-minute battle.

Australia reduce England to 196/4 on Day 1
Nathan Lyon celebrates with team-mates after Vince run out on Day-1 of first Ashes Test on Thursday.
Brisbane, Nov 23 (IANS): Australia fought back to reduce a resistant England to 196 for four on the first day of their opening Ashes cricket Test at the Gabba here on Thursday. James Vince (83) and opener Mark Stoneman (53) shared a 125-run second wicket stand but Australia hit back with the pair’s wicket. The dismissal of captain Joe Root (15)
gave Australia an upper hand on the first day. Inexperienced Vince and Stoneman displayed doggedness as England recovered from the early loss of former captain Alastair Cook (2) who was caught by Peter Handscomb at first slip off left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc. Vince and Stoneman played with a lot of patience and employed tight
defence to go for lunch at 59/1. Afterwards, nearly an hour and 15 minutes of play was wasted due to rain before sunshine returned. The English pair continued their impressive show as the Australian bowlers showed a lack of discipline after lunch. While Stoneman came up with his second Test fifty, Vince, playing in his eighth Test, registered his maiden
half-century. Pat Cummins broke the stand when a ball ran through Stoneman’s defence in the 55th over to boost the hosts just before tea. Five overs later, Vince too lost his wicket as Nathan Lyon effected a run out from cover with a direct throw at the bowler’s end. Vince hit 12 fours in the 170 balls he faced. A turbo-charged Cummins displayed a brilliant spell of fast bowling as he further snared England’s batting mainstay Joe Root (15) with a LBW dismissal to leave the tourists reeling at 163/4. Dawid Malan (28 not out) and Moeen Ali (13 not out) were unbeaten when the umpires called the end of the day’s play. Australian off-spinner Lyon didn’t get much help although he was very economical, ending the day with figures of 24-9-40-0. Brief scores: England: 196/4 (James Vince 83, Mark Stoneman 53; Pat Cummins 2/59) vs Australia.
