CM stresses on sustainable roads

Staff Reporter

D I M A P U R , N OV 2 4 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister, T.R. Zeliang on Friday stressed on the need to focus on sustainable development, particularly taking cognizance of the present road conditions, he said roads in Nagaland needed to be sustainable.

He announced some new road projects, while assuring to maintain the existing ones.

Inaugurating the First Nagaland International Trade Expo 2017, which is being organised by the Government of Nagaland in collaboration with Business Association of Nagas (BAN) at Agri Expo Centre, 4th Mile here on Friday, Zeliang said the government had engaged two contractors to complete construction of the four-lane road between Kohima and Dimapur within three years. He said the contractors have also been given the responsibility of maintaining the existing road during this period.

Stating humorously that after entering the world of social media, whatever he tries to do, people tell him to “make the road first”, he

Disturbed Area tag not necessary: State to Centre D I M A P U R , N OV 2 4 (NPN): Nagaland government has expressed strong reservation to the extension of “Notification declaring Nagaland a Disturbed Area”. In a letter signed by special secretary, S. R Saravanan, dated November 13, addressed to Union Home secretary, the state government expressed objection to any proposal for extension of “Notification declaring Nagaland a Disturbed Area”. It said that the state government has opposed it in the past and continues to do so.

The letter called attention to the fact that the overall situation in the state is largely peaceful compared to other states of the country with most of the underground factions at truce with the GoI, except the NSCN (K). “The joining of six Naga National Political Groups (NNPG) in the ongoing talks, on the ongoing Naga Political issue, support of the civil society organizations is a significant sign of peaceful atmosphere”.

Citing these circumstances the state government expressed their view that extension of the “Notification declaring Nagaland a Disturbed Area” was not necessary.

This is it!

“If we don’t like to work as labor then in the next decade there’ll be no more construction.”

emphasized on the importance of sustainability.

Zeliang said he was aware of the bad roads, not only in Dimapur, but everywhere.

“After the project is completed, the same contractors will be responsible for maintaining the fourlane road for a period of four more years and, if they are not able to maintain it properly, they will be disqualified and blacklisted,” he explained.

Zeliang also announced that the process of building a four-lane highway from Purana Bazaar to Chumukedima had been initiated and that “sanction has been ac-

corded and work has been allotted”.

Stating that a four-lane road was not possible due to the existing buildings, he said the government had decided to downgrade the road between Golaghat Gate and Purana Bazaar to a two-lane one, and added that work should “hopefully” begin by first week of December.

Zeliang also said that he had met the contractor for the Golaghat Gate-Purana Bazaar road and asked him to repair the existing road first before starting work on the two-lane road project. He informed the gathering that work on the four-lane road project from

Dillai Gate, Khatkati to Patkai, where tender had been finalised, would start soon.

Conceding the fact that roads in Dimapur were damaged within four or five months of their construction, Zeliang said the government planned to build roads that were sustainable and did not need repairs every few months.

Meanwhile, the chief minister complimented BAN for organising the First Nagaland International Trade Expo 2017 in collaboration with the state government. He said such trade expos gave opportunities to entrepreneurs and manufacturers to showcase their products to prospective customers. It was also an opportunity for investors to look for potential businesses and technologies to invest in, he added.

He hoped that this was just the beginning and the expo would become a major economic and commercial event of the State and region in the years to come.

“This expo will also give an opportunity to our youth and entrepreneurs to showcase our products to the world. (Cont’d on p-11)

ENSF rejects backward tribes commission

D I M A P U R , N OV 2 4 (NPN): Eastern Naga Students’ Federation (ENSF) rejected the Nagaland Backward Tribes Commission (NBTC) set up by the state government.

Narrating the sequence of events, ENSF president, Sepili L. Sangtam and general secretary, Imtichoba Chang in a letter to the chief minister reminded that the state government and ENSF had jointly agreed on August 13, 2015, to sign an Agreement, wherein the government had agreed in principle to constitute the Commission with special focus for six backward tribes of Eastern Nagaland, and had also agreed to work out the modalities of the Commission jointly.

However, it said the government conveniently failed to consider the agreement and intentionally ignored the federation when constituting the Commission.

In this regard, ENSF along with six federating units, unanimously resolved not to accept the constitution of the commission in its present form until necessary

Service associations under DoSE seek ‘deletion’ of IAS encadrement to PD post Correspondent

KOHIMA, NOV 24 (NPN): Three service associations under the Department of School Education (DoSE) have demanded deletion of IAS encadrement to the post of principal director (PD) from a proposal in the larger interest of the department.

Nagaland School Education Administrative Officers’ Association, Nagaland Government Higher Secondary School Employees’ Association and All Nagaland School Teachers’ Association – submitted a letter in this regard to chief secretary on Friday. They also threatened to hold democratic form of protest if the state government failed to address the issue and hold the government responsible for any eventuality.

In the letter, NSEAOA president Y Khetoshe, NGHSSEA president R Amongla and ANSTA president Ponchulo Wanth rejected outright the proposal on IAS encadrement to the department. The associations said the state government had created two posts of di(Cont’d on p-11) rector– one for elementary/

235 killed in Egypt Mosque attack MHA panel summons Ravi, Union Home Secy to clarify on Naga framework pact

Cairo, Nov 24 (PTI): At least 235 worshippers were killed and 109 others injured when heavily-armed militants bombed a mosque and opened fire on people attending Friday prayers in Egypt’s restive North Sinai region, in the deadliest terror attack in the country.

The militants launched a targeted bomb and gun attack on the al-Rowda mosque in Al-Arish city during the Friday prayers, the state-run MENA news agency reported.

After the bomb ripped through the mosque, the gunmen on four off-road vehicles opened fire on the worshippers who tried to escape from the site after the explosion, it said.

At least 235 worshippers were killed and 109 others injured in the attack, Ahram Online said.

Pictures from the scene show rows of bloodied victims inside the mosque. The blasts from improvised explosive devices caused considerable damage to the mosque, the website said.

Speaking to state-run Masriya TV station, Egyptian health ministry spokesman Khalid Mujahid described the incident as a “terrorist attack.”

One report said the target appeared to be supporters of the security forces who were praying at the mosque.

Local people are also quoted as saying that followers of Sufism, or Islamic mysticism, regularly gathered at the mosque.

Islamist jihadist groups, including so-called Islamic State (IS), see Sufis as heretics. About 50 ambulances were rushed to the attack site to shift the injured to hospitals.

No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack and there is no word yet on what happened to the militants involved. However, it bears the hallmarks of an attack by ISIS, reports said.

There have been regular attacks blamed on militants on the Sinai peninsula since the January 2011 revolution that toppled former president Hosni Mubarak, but this is the deadliest assault of its kind.

DIMAPUR, NOV 24 (NPN): In a significant development, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Ministry of Home Affairs has summoned Union Home Secretary, Rajiv Gauba and Centre’s interlocutor for Naga talks, R.N. Ravi on November 27 to clarify on the ‘Framework Agreement’ signed between Government of India and the NSCN (I-M) in 2015.

According to Assam Tribune reports, the Parliamentary panel, headed by P. Chidambaram, “wants clarity” about the framework agreement that has been kept under tight wraps. A report said that Parliamentary panel had asked Ravi to appear before it, when it met last week to discuss the “security situation in the North Eastern States of India”.

The report said that the panel met earlier to discuss the security situation in the North Eastern states and the Naga peace deal was a crucial aspect.

“We have asked Ravi to appear before the panel and tell us the status of the peace deal, if any. It has been three years since it was signed but we

have not seen any results,” an MP was quoted as saying.

The Centre and the NSCN (I-M) had earlier issued a joint statement that they were “closer than ever before to the final settlement and hope to conclude it sooner than later.”

In October, for the first time in 20 years, Ravi met all the stakeholders at Dimapur in Nagaland and told the Naga groups that Prime Minister Narendra Modi kept asking him about the progress of the talks and they should not waste time now, the report stated.

The Centre would not cut into the territory of any state without the approval of the concerned state government. The NSCN (I-M) leaders were told that if they can persuade the other state governments in this regard, then only the Centre would accept the demand. But as no state government has agreed to the demand, there is no question of affecting the territorial integrity of any state of the region while signing the final agreement with the NSCN (I-M), sources told the Assam Tribune.

Naga Women Hoho Dimapur celebrates 50 years Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, Nov 24 (NPN): Naga Women Hoho Dimapur (NWHD) on Friday celebrated its golden jubilee commemoration under the theme, “The year of liberty”, at DDSC stadium.

Addressing the celebration as chief guest, additional secretary, Rural Development & mission director Nagaland State Rural Livelihood Mission, Athel O. Lotha said that the spirit of perseverance and persistence of the women leaders, both past and present to achieve the 50 years milestone was commendable and would serve as an encouragement to the people.

While expressing happiness on completion of 50 years, Athel said: “With an aspiration of bringing together women from all walks of lives, irrespective of tribes under one umbrella and standing firm on the ob-

jective ‘unite and progress’, it is notable that NWHD has made impacts and surmounted so many obstacles over the decades.”

She said what was more encouraging was that, as an apex body comprising of mothers, NWHD had been honoured as counsellor to Naga Council with voting rights and had also become partner NGO to the state

government towards women empowerment.

Athel lauded every member who had selflessly contributed to foster the principle of “unity and progress” and to protect, preserve the customs, traditions and promote oneness and understanding amongst the Naga community, while protecting, nurturing and safeguarding rights of chil-

dren and women.

“No appreciable development can be made either at the local, national or even international platform without recognising women as key players. Empowering women to participate fully in social, economic life across all sectors is essential to building a cohesive society, stronger economies and achieve development and sustainability”, Athel added.

She informed that there was now 3000 self-help groups in Nagaland apart from Peren and Tuensang as the two were being covered under NERLP. Through selfhelp groups, she said that the government had been working on a lot of schemes and to empower women and to uplift their economy.

“As long as NRLM stays and sustains in Nagaland, we assure you that we would work together with co-operation from all of you”, she added.

She also highlighted that a federation level was inaugurated in Jakhama block where around two crores were given for the upliftment of women there.

Quoting the words of former UN secretary general, Ban Ki Moon that “when we empower women, we empower communities, nations and entire human family”, Athel said that women play a pivotal role in contributing positively to the progress of humanity and advancing the wealth of a nation and hoped that such ventures involving all stakeholders would foster appreciable and sustainable change in Naga society.

Athel hoped that the true spirit of the theme would serve as a force to strengthen the organisation as one powerful mother apex and further requested men folks to keep supporting NWHD in all their future endeavours.

secondary and another for higher secondary– as it had a vision for the department.

They said creation of two directors had necessitated the post of PD and in line with the Revamping and Restructuring, the senior-most of the two directors would be promoted to occupy the post of PD, whenever vacancy arose.

Pointing out that Zaviye Nyekha was accordingly promoted to the post of PD in 2015, the associations felt that there was ambiguity on the stand of the government in proposing IAS cadre induction in the department.

They asserted that any attempt to en-cadre the lone post of PD to a different cadre other than school education would be seen as directly undermining and depriving the school education cadre. They stated that, if the government intended to encadre all the PDs of Medical, PWD, PHED, police, treasuries and accounts, etc, as policy decision, the matter would be seen differently. However, targeting the school education PD alone was not in the interest of the employees as such policy

jeopardized the service career of the employees.

They further pointed out that education being a State subject, its structure and management differed from State to State, adding that RR of the department was done in 2011, which had not recommended encadrement of IAS to school education. As such, reiterating their earlier stand, the associations outrightly rejected the proposal on IAS encadrement to the department.

The letter also mentioned that despite repeated representations submitted by all stakeholders for thorough deliberation on the draft service rules framed by a threemember committee headed by principal secretary, a retired additional secretary and statistical officer, no department official or any stakeholder was included in the committee. The associations lamented that despite repeated appeals for a discussion on the draft service rules, their opinion was not included and instead the draft was put up for approval in P&AR, Finance, Law & Justice and now in the Cabinet.

MDTOA temporarily lifts ‘chakka bandh’

DIMAPUR, Nov 24 (NPN): Mokokchung District Truck Owners Association (MDTOA) temporarily lifted the chakka bandh, beginning 12 noon of November 24, in the greater interest of the general public. Informing of this in a press release, MDTOA president, Sangyumongba Ao and general secretary Imtisumak stated that after four days bandh, MDTOA “strongly felt the plight of the general public, not only of the Mokokchung district but also of our sister districts especially Tuensang and Zunheboto.”

MDTOA said that the chakka bandh was also lifted in response to the call of the Ao Senden and also influenced by the little visible improvements at the worse parts of NH–702D.

If no visible improvements were seen or experienced, MDTOA said it would be compelled to initiate more drastic actions.

of the People’s Republic of Nagalim (NSCN I-M) has strongly condemned the raid carried out by 32 Assam Rifles (AR) led by a major at the residence of its caretaker CAO of UT-1 deputy kilonser, Rangkhamong Anar at Signal Angami bosti Dimapur on November 18 at around 8 p.m. and which lasted for “about two hours”.

In a press release, NSCN (I-M), MIP, stated that despite being identified

by CAO by producing his identity card issued by the competent authorities of both sides, he was subsequently arrested along with two of his associates and handed over to the police.

NSCN (I-M) rebuked Assam Rifles team ignorance of the CAO being a card holder and claimed that the “marauding” AR team even seized the identity card of the secretary of the Cease Fire Monitoring Cell (CFMC) when the latter rushed to the spot to intervene. It stated that the Assam Rifles team did not even spare the women and children present at the residence during the raid. NSCN (I-M) also condemned the unwarranted and immature raid, at a time when the NSCN and the government of India are on the verge of hammering out an amicable solution to the more than 60 years old Indo-Naga conflicts.

Press council takes suo-moto M’laya govt to restart lotteries Youth held for burning paddy cognizance of scribe’s killing ates had outstanding dues of Rs. 35.08 crores that it had not paid. Interestingly, the CAG in its recent report had also severely criticised the Meghalaya government for paying the department of state lotteries officials for eight years after the state had stopped selling lotteries, from 2008 to 2016, without assigning any work to them or transferring them to other divisions within the ERTS department. This oversight of the state government had caused a loss of Rs. 5.69 crores to the exchequer as per the CAG report.

CAG has consistently criticised the opaque process of awarding tenders to private lottery distributors and the flagrant non-compliance of several laws by private lottery companies. According to the Lotteries (Regulation) Act and Supreme Court judgments, once a state decides to sell its own lotteries, it has to allow sale of other state lotteries within its territory.

Currently, Kerala, Maharashtra, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, West Bengal, Punjab and Bodoland Territorial Council permit sale of lotteries.

Private lottery distributors have been grappling with a 28% GST on the face value of tickets, which they feel is unfair and will spell the death knell of the industry.

Agartala, Nov 24 (IANS): The Press Council of India (PCI) has taken suo-moto cognizance on the killing of a journalist by a Tripura State Rifles (TSR) trooper and sought a report from the Tripura government, an official said here on Friday.

“The PCI has taken up a suo-moto cognizance on the killing of journalist Sudip Datta Bhowmik by a TSR trooper on Tuesday.

The council has asked the Chief Secretary Sanjeev Ranjan to submit a report on the killing of the journalist,” an official of the state home department said.

He said, “The PCI is likely to send its official or a team to Tripura to gather inputs and to study the cause and circumstances of the incident.”

Demanding a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the murder of the journalist, several journalist organisations on Thursday formed a new body -- Forum For Protection of Journalists (FFPJ) -- to spearhead the agitation against the killing.

The FFPJ would hold a protest rally on Saturday

demanding a CBI probe.

FFPJ convenor Pranab Sarkar said a memorandum would be sent to President Ram Nath Kovind demanding a CBI probe into the killing of the journalist and protection of media persons.

According to police, TSR Second Battalion Rifleman Nandu Kumar Reang, following an altercation, gunned down Sudip Datta Bhowmik, 50, at Radha Kishore Nagar, 25 km from Agartala, on Tuesday.

Reang was the bodyguard of Second Battalion Commandant Tapan Debbarma. The slain journalist had gone to meet Debbarma at the battalion headquarters. Police have arrested both the trooper and the Commandant. Both are now in police custody for 10 days and senior police officers are questioning them.

The state government, which has handed over the case to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), also constituted a four-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the incident.

Look beyond govt job, Chamling tells youth Illegal logging on the rise in Arunachal

Aizawl, Nov 24 (PTI): Assam Rifles personnel and Light Infantry regiment personnel of the Myanmar Army today started coordinated patrolling on river Tiau, the MizoramMyanmar border river, an official statement said. The statement also said that the patrolling would conclude tomorrow. The patrolling began from pillar number 28 in Lunglei district and would end at the border trade centre of Zokhawthar in Champhai district, which is located about 90 km upstream, it said. Mizoram and Myanmar shares 404-km-long porous international border through which weapons and narcotics are smuggled, officials said.

Gan g to k , N ov 2 4 (PTI): Sikkim Chief Minister Pawan Kumar Chamling Friday exhorted the youth to overcome the desire to get government jobs only and try to take up employment in other sectors.

Government jobs is a fad with the people of Sikkim with 13 per cent of them being employed with the state government while it is only one per cent in developed countries, he said.

“It is time that our youths come out of this mental block (of getting government jobs only) and take up employment other than those in the government sector,” Chamling said.

Numerous theories and claims have surfaced regarding the reason behind the journalist’s killing, the second incident involving a media man in the state.

Tr i p u r a G ove r n o r Tathagata Roy, who is now in Delhi, has said he will submit a report to Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Bhowmik’s killing.

The ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist has criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for politicising the journalist’s killing.

The Congress has demanded a high-level inquiry into the murder. The BJP has demanded the resignation of Chief Minister Manik Sarkar, who also holds the Home portfolio.

Various journalists organisations in the northeast including the Tripura Working Journalists Association, Tripura Journalists Union (TJU) and the Agartala Press Club have also denounced the killing and demanded a probe.

Shillong, Nov 24 (Agencies): Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma announced that the Excise Registration Taxation Stamps Department (ERTS) department has notified the new lottery rules and that there would soon be a bidding process to appoint a distributor to market the state government’s lotteries in states where such lottery sales are permitted.

Sangma added that his government would prefer paper lotteries over online lotteries and the same would be in accordance with the central law, Lotteries (Regulation) Act, 1998 and rules framed there under.

The Meghalaya government had introduced online lottery schemes in the year 2001 and signed an agreement with a firm, MS Associates, to run the lottery with a guaranteed Rs 3 crore (which was later increased to Rs. 12 crore) for the exchequer in the first year. The firm reportedly belonged to former Lok Sabha Congress MP Mani Kumar Subba.

However, in 2005, the firm stopped operating the online lottery and did not pay dues. Despite several attempts, the firm is yet to pay the amount. The Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) had noted that MS Associ-

Pawan Kumar Chamling and allied agricultural produces for survival, he said while addressing the inaugural function of a start-up festival here.

“No job is big or small.

Dignity of labour is important. A life-saving profession like farming should not be looked down upon. It must be kept in mind that agriculture as an occupation

will never be out-dated,” he said.

Though Sikkim does not face unemployment problem like other parts of the country, he said his government has created employment opportunities in various sectors.

The chief minister asked youths to avail these benefits to become selfreliant.

“If you remain jobless in spite of all these opportunities available, that does not fall under the definition of unemployment. We can call it willful unemployment,” Chamling said. On potential avenues for employment, he mentioned agro-based activities like dairy, poultry, piggery, fishery, plant nursery and floriculture activities and tourism.

Arunachal Gov discusses local issues with Rajnath

Itanagar, Nov 24 (PTI): Arunachal Pradesh Governor Brig (Retd) B D Mishra today called on Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh at New Delhi and discussed various issues including recruitment of the state’s youth in Assam Rifles.

The governor, who is on an official visit to the National Capital, also apprised the union minister about absence of scheduled caste candidates in the state and said the vacancies remained unfilled in the state’s quota for recruitment in Assam Rifles, an official release said.

He requested Singh

to see to it that the state’s scheduled caste vacancies be transferred to scheduled tribe so that the recruitment numbers could justifiably be met for the benefit of eligible youth from the state.

Mishra, who recently met the Director General of Assam Rifles, called for further strengthening of the paramilitary force. He also suggested empowering the paramilitary forces to apprehend any person engaged in unlawful activity and attach officers from Narcotic Department with Assam Rifles units for prompt and effective action to control the drug menace in the state.

Expressing concern over the depleting population in the border areas due to non availability of infrastructure for the people living in remote areas, the governor suggested that a modest beginning could be made by taking up 3-5 villages and making them self sufficient in terms of dwelling, toilet facilities, health centres, schools, small shop-

HOTOLU SWU Addl. Deputy Commissioner Wokha: Nagaland

Itanagar, Nov 24 (PTI): Despite Supreme Court’s ban on timber operations in Arunachal Pradesh, illegal logging at Pasighat Reserve Forest in East Siang district continues unabated.

Hundreds of timber trees have been felled by the mafias during the monsoons, posing a serious challenge to the officers of the forest department, additional deputy chief conservator of forest (ADCF) Tasang Taga said.

Recently, a team of forest officials, led by Taga, seized heaps of timber logs, especially of Hollock (Terminalia Myriocarpa) variety, from Loki - a riverine island – under Pasighat reserve forest.

“The mafias take advantage of the flood situation in the area during the monsoon season. We came across 100 stumps in Loki.

There could be more in other parts of the reserve forest,” said Taga, who is in charge of a mobile squad under chief conservator of forest of central Arunachal circle.

Taga also rued the lack of means for proper patrolling in the reserve

IMPHAL, Nov 24: A youth allegedly involved in burning stacks of paddy in Manipur’s Bishnupur district was caught by the villagers and handed over to the police on Friday.

For the past few days, unknown miscreants have been engaging in burning stacks of paddy piled up for harvesting in some valley districts, particularly in Bishnupur district.

forest.

“Hollock trees have a huge demand in the timber market. The mafias use power chain saw and push cart with motor bike wheels to cut down and skid the logs to the Siang River. There they build a raft that could float down the river. But we do not have enough manpower to control the menace,” he explained.

Pasighat Range Forest Officer (RFO) Jumgo Geyi said the department had been trying their best to stop illegal felling in the area, notwithstanding the adverse weather conditions during the monsoons.

“On several occasions, we have arrested people involved in illegal timber operations, but all of them got their bail pretty easily. I have even engaged a local youth, paying him Rs 3000 from my pocket, to keep vigil on such activities,” Geyi said.

Around ninety per cent of staff under Pasighat forest division is women. They keep a tab on the check gates and nursery or engage themselves in administrative

Police have been on the search for miscreants involved in the burning since the first incident at Kairenbikhong village about a week ago.

However on Friday morning, a youth identified as Moirangthem Roben (25) of Ningthoukhong locality under Bishnupur police station was caught by the locals on the alleged charge of involving in the burning spree and handed over to

works. Only a few officials are tasked with patrolling duties, he said.

“Arunachal lacks its own Forest Act and for tackling such activities, the state still goes by the forest laws of Assam,” Geyi added.

Illegal timber operations are also rampant at Mebo reserve forest in the district, Range Forest Officer Obang Tayeng admitted.

The department was short of manpower and equipment to deal with such activities, he said.

“At times we are not even in a position to bring the seized logs from jungles to our office for auctioning due to lack of vehicles.

According to the forest officials, the easy availability of power chain saws in the market needs to be regulated by the state government to check the felling of trees.

Lok Sabha MP from Arunachal East constituency Ninong Ering said he had had informed Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Tabang Jamoh and East Siang SP Pranav Tayal about the illegal logging operations, but not much was done about it.

“No initiatives were taken to stop the illegal activities during the monsoons,” Ering added.

Nagaland Post, Dimapur saturday, November 25, 2017

Government to speed up major highway projects in Northeast New Delhi, Nov 24 (IANS): Continuing its initiative of reducing projects with the overburdened Border Roads Organisation (BRO) and the resultant delays and cost over-runs, the government is transferring over 2,000 km of upcoming highway projects to the fledgling, stateowned National Highways Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd (NHIDCL), according to informed sources.

While the cost for the 20 important strategic and semi-strategic highway stretches have not been fixed, the estimates are expected to exceed Rs 25,000 crore ($4 billion), as the government pays Rs 11-13 crore per km for construction in the country’s mountainous states.

Sources familiar with the initiative stated that of all the projects, NHIDCL is set to immediately take over 10 with a total length of 1,053.05 km while the remaining 957.44 km of roads will be taken over after field verification and recce, ascertaining readiness to take over for maintenance.

“The highway projects which the NHIDCL is set to take over from the BRO are in Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Manipur and Uttrakhand. The longest among these are 262 km ChurachandpurTipaimukh, followed by the 170.88 km Jessami-Yanganpokpi, 129 km KohimaJessami, all in Manipur; a 115 km stretch between Dumro-Same Basti-Etalin is in Arunachal Pradesh,” the sources said.

The other highway stretches to be taken over includes 75.54 km between Ghatiabagarh and Lipulekh in Uttrakhand; 56.13 km between Brahmkhund and Chowkam, 95 km between Seppa and Sarli, both in Arunachal Pradesh; 99.50 km between Gangtok and Chungthang, 27.80 km between Chungthang and Lachen and 22 km between Chungthang and Lachung -- all three in Sikkim.

While the NHIDCL will soon start working on the stretches once the formalities are complete, sources have said that the Prime Minister’s Office is not happy with BRO, which

has been proceeding at a snail’s pace.

Earlier, a cabinet document circulated to central ministries and seen by IANS noted that the BRO is overstretched and has been given work beyond its capacity and mandate.

“The BRO has started taking work beyond (its) size. Initially only for strategically important works, (it) later took the civil work as well,” reads the cabinet note.

The document notes that the main object of the proposal was to expedite the implementation of road infrastructure projects in the country that would increase connectivity to far-off areas and further augment economic activities there.

Some of the delayed projects include the 220-kmlong National Highway-53 in Manipur. The delay has escalated the cost to a whopping Rs 1,600 crore from Rs 1,100 crore, the document noted.

“Due to ver y slow progress, the road is proposed to be transferred from the BRO,” reads the cabinet note. The note has also sug-

gested that the BRO adopt new technologies and also urgently resize its strength in terms of work force and avoid cost-escalation of projects.

Of the new projects, the remaining 957.44 km of highway stretches will soon be verified by the NHIDCL. Among these projects, 355.27 km lies in Jammu and Kashmir and its bordering areas with Himachal Pradesh.

The 297.60 km DarchaPadam-Nimu stretch lies in Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh while the 57.67 km ChokibalTangdhar-Chamkot stretch lies in Jammu and Kashmir.

The Sumdo-Kaza-Grampoo 255 km stretch lies in Himachal Pradesh.

“The 52-km long LGG-Damtse-Yangtse, 56 km BGJ-Naga GG, 54 km TCC-Tasking and 47.38 km TCC-Maza are in Arunachal Pradesh, 65 km GangtokSherthang-Nathula, 30.50 km Lachen-Kalcp and 42 km Sanklang-Toong are in Sikkim. NHIDCL will take over these projects once they are verified and their recce is done,” said the source.

Arunchal Pradesh assembly byelection on Dec 21 Itanagar, Nov 24 (PTI): The Election Commission Friday announced by-election to two assembly constituencies in Arunachal Pradesh on December 21.

The constituencies Pakke-Kessang in East Kameng district and Likabali in Lower Siang district had remained vacant for the past several months.

The notification for the by-poll would be issued on November 27 and the last date for filing of nominations has been fixed on December 4, while scrutiny of papers would be done on December 5.

Last date of withdrawals of paper would be on December 7 next and counting of votes would take place on December 24.

With the announcement of the by-election, the election model code of conduct has come into force in both the districts.

The Pakke-Kessang constituency has a total of 7455 electors including 3943 women voters.

The constituency has 26 polling stations.

The Likabali constituency with 39 polling stations has total voters of 10608 including 5331 female voters.

Mnp cherry blossom festival from Nov 26 Guwahati, Nov 24 (PTI): Taking a cue from the success in Meghalaya, Manipur will now organise its first Cherry Blossom Festival at Mao, located on the border between Manipur and Nagaland, from November 26.

The festuval is being organised by the Mao Flower Growers’ Association along with the Institute of Bioresources and Sustainable Development (IBSD), a national institute of the Department of Biotechnology of the central government, the IBSD press release saud.

The festival is scheduled to

be inaugurated by Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh.

Earlier this month, the India International Cherry Blossom Festival in Shillong attracted over one lakh people, the release said. Several states in the North East such as Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland Manipur and Sikkim are now dotted with full bloom of cherry which is of the autumn blossoming variety unlike the more popular spring blossoming varieties in USA and Japan.

The festival has opened a large number

of business opportunities for traditional food and handicrafts for several unemployed youth and showcased the unique culture of the region, IBSD Director Prof Dinabandhu Sahoo was quoted in the release as saying.

Since this is the peak tourist season, the people who have missed the Shillong festival can now join the Manipur Cherry Blossom Festival which will not only display the natural beauty of the cherry blossoms but also showcase the rich arts and culture of the North East, he added.

More seats for Sikkim Assembly New Delhi, Nov 24 (Agencies): The Home Ministry has proposed an increase in the number of seats in the Sikkim Assembly from 32 to 40. The expansion will be the first since the State merged with India in 1975.

The seats are being increased to accommodate people from the Limboo and Tamang communities, notified as the Scheduled Tribes in Sikkim in January 2003. Of the eight seats proposed to be increased, five will be reserved for Limboo and Tamangs. Now, Sikkim has 12 seats reserved for Bhutias and Lepchas, two for the Scheduled Castes, one seat for the Sanghas and 17 general seats. As per constitutional provisions, the total number of seats for STs should be in proportion to the population.

The seats for Bhutia and Lepchas are reserved not on the basis of them being a Scheduled Tribe, but as a sequel to a political agreement in 1973 between the Government of India, ex-Chogyal (King) of Sikkim and political parties.

A petition was moved in the Supreme Court that Limboo and Tamangs were not adequately represented in the Assembly and the apex court on January 4, 2016 directed the Home Ministry to take necessary action.

A senior government official said a proposal has been sent to the Ministry of Law and Justice to amend the Representation of the People Act (RPA) for the purpose. As per the Delimitation Act, 2002, the number of seats in an Assembly of any State can only be readjusted on the basis of the first census conducted after 2026.

Following a strong opposition by special public prosecutor BK Mahajan and perusal of the case diary submitted by Dibrugarh Police, the court also dismissed the anticipatory bail petition of another accused ACS officer Nishamoni Deka, who is still on the run. Another arrested APS officer Hemanta Hillol Saikia who too had earlier moved a bail petition, withdrew it at the last moment.

Responding to appeals made by two other arrested lady civil service officials by the name of Sunayana Aideu and Geetali Doley, the Court has directed jail authorities to facilitate their meeting with their children during judicial custody as per the provisions of the jail

manual. This is allowed due to the medical condition of the wards of the two accused who are currently in judicial custody.

“From the case diary it is revealed that the investigating officer has collected sufficient materials in support of the allegations. Considering the gravity of the offences and also the interest of the State in general, the bail applications stand rejected,” stated Special Judge A Bhattacharya in his order.

UNLF celebrated its 53rd foundation day on Friday.

Guwahati, Nov 24 (Agencies): A civil service officer in Assam has resigned, saying a trial by the media and public judgement in the wake of a cash-for-jobs scam in the Assam Civil Service Commission (APSC) that made him wear his responsibility like a curse.

The APSC scam was exposed by a dentist last year when she helped the police trap an assistant engineer in eastern Assam’s Dibrugarh taking a bribe of Rs 10 lakh for an assured job in a government hospital.

The scam related to appointments in Assam civil and police services happened during the 15-year Congress rule that ended in May last year.

Narrow walls

ndia is a country having the variety of cultures and also the birth place of many major religions( Sikhism, Jainism, Buddhism etc), famous philosophers and social reformers. With a population of 121.09 crore as per 2011 census data, India is also the second highest populated country after China. Within the folds of the huge population, India’s pluralism and secularism is reflected by the composition of various races and religions. As per the 2011 census data, the Hindu population is 96.63 crore (79.8 percent); Muslim 17.22 crore (14.2 percent); Christian 2.78 crore (2.3 percent); Sikh 2.08 crore (1.7 percent); Buddhist 0.84 crore (0.7 percent); Jain 0.45 crore (0.4 percent), Other religions and persuasions (ORP) 0.79 crore (0.7 percent) and religion not stated 0.29 crore (0.2 percent). India was prepared through successive conquests by foreign invaders who ruled for centuries. During the rule the invaders expanded their kingdoms. The British gave the final touch when the colonial empire annexed or conquered kingdoms after kingdoms and finally brought hundreds of kingdoms and principalities under the British empire.

The British East India later became independent India as it is today. Nearly two centuries of British rule brought diverse races, culture and religions to identify themselves a people under one empire. After the colonial rulers left, the Indians naturally looked at themselves as a nation of diverse people who were bonded together through geography and history.

There are some views which have acquired a sense of legitimacy but which have actually provided an opportunity for distortion. One of the beliefs is that the 85% of the population are Hindus of the Hindutva types. According to many Hindus, the Hindus across the world worship three crore gods and this testifies to the fact that all Hindus do not worship the same god, in the same way and with the same culture. In fact, Hinduism, according to many Hindus themselves, is a culture that is as varied as the people of different races and living in different regions of the country. Hindus belonging to different religions and races rejected the notion of Pakistan whose founders promoted the ideology of one nation, one law and one religion. Along with Hindus other people in India belonging to various religion, caste and creed remained together under a secular and democratic state unlike a theocratic and autocratic Pakistan.

That is also proof that India remained strong because its founding fathers promoted and inculcated a secular principle based on unity in diversity. Those who seek to promote their brand of nationalism and patriotism are abusing and insulting those Indians of all other races who gave their everything including their lives for ensuring that all Indians breathe in the fresh air of pluralism. India’s multifarious society is a veritable mass of contrasts and extremes and any effort to homogenise the inherent strength of diversity will only result in a brittle and edgy nationalism. What is clear is that today , there is an overt and aggressive attempt to inject the chosen ‘culture’ or ‘religion’ to re-construct Indian nationalism. Saying so should not mean being anti-national but a patriotic need to watch out against the global trend towards hypernationalism and the closing of the mind.

DailyDevotion Direction of Focus Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters…, so our eyes look to the Lord our God… —Psalm 123:2 This verse is a description of total reliance on God. Just as the eyes of a servant are riveted on his master, our eyes should be directed to and focused on God. This is how knowledge of His countenance is gained and how God reveals Himself to us (see Isaiah 53:1).

Our spiritual strength begins to be drained when we stop lifting our eyes to Him. Our stamina is sapped, not so much through external troubles surrounding us but through problems in our thinking. We wrongfully think, “I suppose I’ve been stretching myself a little too much, standing too tall and trying to look like God instead of being an ordinary humble person.” We have to realize that no effort can be too high.

For example, you came to a crisis in your life, took a stand for God, and even had the witness of the Spirit as a confirmation that what you did was right. But now, maybe weeks or years have gone by, and you are slowly coming to the conclusion— “Well, maybe what I did showed too much pride or was superficial. Was I taking a stand a bit too high for me?” Your “rational” friends come and say, “Don’t be silly. We knew when you first talked about this spiritual awakening that it was a passing impulse, that you couldn’t hold up under the strain. And anyway, God doesn’t expect you to endure.” You respond by saying, “Well, I suppose I was expecting too much.” That sounds humble to say, but it means that your reliance on God is gone, and you are now relying on worldly opinion. The danger comes when, no longer relying on God, you neglect to focus your eyes on Him. Only when God brings you to a sudden stop will you realize that you have been the loser. Whenever there is a spiritual drain in your life, correct it immediately. Realize that something has been coming between you and God, and change or remove it at once.

Post-mortem

UNTABA on restoration of Naga lands

S

ince the signing of the ‘Framework Agreement’ b e t we e n t h e G ove r n ment of India (GoI) and the National Socialist Council of Nagalim(NSCN-IM) on August 3, 2015, various authorities including the honorable Home Minister, GoI, Mr. RN Ravi, the Interlocutor, Officials of the Ministry of Home Affairs, GoI and the authorities of the Assam Government including the honorable Chief Minister of Assam had been time and again expressing opinions after opinions against the history of the Naga people.

The fact of the history is that since the creation of Nagaland as the 16th. State in the Union of India based on the ’16 Points Agreement’ made between the GoI and Naga People’s Convention (NPC) in 1960, there has been no boundary demarcation between the State of Assam and Nagaland in spite of the facts of Agreement Points No. 12 and 13 that the Inter-State boundary between the two States shall be undertaken in accordance to the Constitutional Provision of Article 3 and 4 of the Constitution of India ‘in due course of time’.

The deliberate failure by the GoI to address this pertinent point of political agreement with the Naga people for all these decades is nothing but to forcefully usurp the ancestral Naga lands approximately measuring to 5000 (4,974.16) square miles under the illegal occupation of the State of Assam.

The Naga people, in no point of time in our history had ever usurped, encroached or claimed other peoples land in our neighborhood.

Although, Nagaland as a State was created based on political agreement of 1960, Naga people joined the Union of India based on the first political agreement made with the then Governor and Premier of the then undivided Assam Province Akbar Ali Hydari and Gobinath Bordoloi as the representative of the Constituent Assembly of the Government of India in June 26-29, 1947 at Kohima with the then undivided Naga National Council (NNC) on the basis of the agreed Point No. 6.

Boundaries: ‘That the present administration divisions should be modified so as:(i) to bring back into Naga Hills District all the Forests transferred to Sibsagar and Nowgong Districts in the past; and (ii) to bring under one uni-

W

fied administrative unit as far as possible all Nagas. All the areas so included will be within the scope of the present proposed agreement. No area should be transferred out of Naga Hill without the consent of the Naga National Council.

This is the sole political consideration of the Naga people joining the Union of India.

Having deliberately failed to include this political agreement in the Constitution of India by the Constituent Assembly, the Constitution which was finally adopted in 1950, and the Naga people under the leadership of undivided NNC conducted ‘Plebiscite’ on May 16, 1951 so as to secede from India as an Independent Nation State.

This is the genesis of the Naga National movement for self determination of Naga people.

Since the time immemorial, Naga people had been living in our own God given land without any dispute whatsoever with any community or nation.

From Ahom period from 13th. century onwards, people living in the Brahamputra valley and the Nagas had clear boundary demarcation respecting each other’s dominion. In fact, the Ahom Kings had awarded certain areas in Rengma, Lotha, Ao, Phom and Konyak regions called ‘Naga Ghat’ or gifted areas to Naga people. In the later part of British administration, during 1922-23 financial records, from 23 Naga Ghats taxes had been paid by the tea planters to Naga owners of these Ghats.

After the treaty of Yandaboo in 1826 between British Imperial Government of India and Burma, the British administration penetrated to North-east region of India and by 1837, British Government started levying taxes from Naga villages in Rengma areas. By 1841, the British Government created Rengma Naga Hills and started direct administration over Naga people and then established the first Subdivisional headquarters at Asaloo in 1852 for administration in Naga areas. It was followed by establishment of separate Naga Hills District in 1866 headquartered at Samagooting, the present Chumukedima and the boundary was defined in 1867 which was comprehensively defined again Vide ‘Foreign Department No. 3386 P, dated 24th.

Ability of women

omen empowerment implies the ability in women to take decisions with regard to their life and work and giving equal rights to them in all spheres like: personal, social, economic, political, legal etc.

Women ability is muchtalked about issue today.

Women are increasingly getting empowered to decide the course of their life and professions and realize their fullest potential.

Women ability has become the buzzword today with women working alongside men in all spheres.

They profess an Independent outlook, whether they are living inside their home or working outside. They are increasingly gaining control over their lives and taking their own decisions with regard to their education, career, profession and lifestyle.

With steady increase in the number of working women, they have gained financial independence, which has given them confidence to lead their own lives and build their own identity.

They are successfully taking up diverse professions to prove that they are second to none in any respect. But while doing so, women also take care to their strike a balance between their commitment to their profession as well as their home and family. Women plays multiple roles of a mother, daughter, sister, wife , and

a working professional with equal opportunity to work, women render all possible co-operation to their male counterparts in meeting the deadlines and targets set in their respective professions.

Women ability or empowerment is not limited to urban, working women but women in even remote towns and villages should raise their voice it should be heard loud and clear in society, you should not play a second fiddle to your male counterparts. Educated or not, you have to assert your social and political rights and making it presence felt, regardless of your socioeconomic backgrounds.

Women Ability can play a vital role for the betterment of our country’s future, as women are better manager than men. They can properly manage both her house and office in a systematic way as compared to men.

Many of our man folks still having a selfish thought when their wife could not give birth to a boy child abuses wife for having only a girl child and marries another women such narrow minded should not be given a chance to practice in our society and women should not give a chance to this man to take advantage on them too. Now it is on us to decide whether we want a son like Kasab, Nirbhaya rapist on whom the world is ashamed of or we want daughters

like, Kalpna Chawla, Lata Mangeshker, who are pride of our country. Till date women has played pivotal role of a mother, daughter, sister and wife, so think if she gets a chance to work for the development of our small state she will definitely prove herself like Indira Nooyi, Isha Kocchar, Neeta Ambani, and many more who are beautiful example for our country’s pride.

Therefore, Naga people had never ever claimed other people’s land nor shall we give away even an inch of our ancestral land that is under the illegal occupation of the State of Assam.

Naga lands under Assam State was never a disputed area as willfully and unilaterally enforced by the Government of Assam with the tacit approval from the GoI through the imposition of ‘Assam Disturbed Area Act, 1955’ and ‘Armed Forces(Assam & Manipur) Special Powers Act, 1957 during 1967 in the occupied Naga areas in Assam.

The Government of Assam cannot simply over-look the history of Naga people over its territories nor can the Government of India prolong its deliberate attempt to allow the Assam Government to forcefully occupy the ancestral, traditional, historical and political Naga lands in Assam.

The present ongoing litigation process of ‘Civil Suit No. 2 of 1988’ in the honorable Supreme Court of India filed by the then AGP Government of Assam in 1988 has taken 3 decades now without any tangible ruling. Taking this pending case as being subjudiced, the successive Government of Assam have made all the Naga territories in Assam as a buffer-zone for settlement of people of questionable origins allowing various militant groups to operate against the hapless Naga people living in the border areas.

While applauding the recent positive development of the 6 Naga National Political Groups for signing an agreement to enter into a political dialogue with the GoI on 17th. November 2017, the Naga people are expectantly awaiting the acceptable and honorable political resolution sooner or later. But any political resolution without restoring the ancestral, traditional, historical and political Naga lands under the illegal occupation of Assam to its rightful owner, the much awaited political solution may become unacceptable to the Naga people.

A

NPF (NR-TR) questions rival’s attendance claim

O

ur philosophy in electoral politics is not to mettle in the affairs of our adversaries yet when their agendas cross the acceptable perimeter, we are compelled to rebut the claims and allegations so that correct information flows in the public domain. Against that baseline, we are constrained to rectify the bogus and inflated figure of delegates of those who attended the General Convention (GC) on 22 Nov 2017 convened by our splinter group under Dr. Shurhozelie Liezietsu’s.

The total number of delegates provided by our rival group is a staggering 21,144 (Twenty one thousand one hundred forty four) which is a pure bogus & inflated figure.

The fact of the matter is, Whole throughout the year, various social & sports events are held in The Kohima local ground and the most prominent amongst them is the one organized by the Naga wrestling Association, “The Naga wrestling meet”. During this tournament aptly coined as “mother of all tournaments” not even a square feet of land can be seen when viewed aerially at the local ground. Through the years, the highest turn out has not cross 15000 though It may be added that one of the highest turnout of spectators in Kohima LOCAL GROUND was in 2015 Naga Wrestling Association (NWA) silver jubilee wherein a little above 14,000 spectator converged to witness the Mega event.

We would like to submit that the highest ever turnout of spectators and attendances recorded in a Football match at Kohima Local Ground, was just around 12000, during the Unforgettable Historic match between Sikim United FC and Locals favorite Life Sports which was played on 2nd October 2011 at Kohima Local Ground.

Therefore we can safely conclude that the maximum sitting capacity of the local ground including the galleries, the football pitch and the space between the galleries and the pitch cannot be more than 15000.

It will be in the fitness of things to recall that during the NPF Golden Jubilee Celebration in 2013 the delegate from all over the North East India was around 9,500.

Conversely, if one glances through the visuals of that day, 1/4th of the ground can be clearly seen without any chairs not to talk about delegates. Apart from that, empty chairs covered 1/5th of the occupied space.

Assuming that the ground was packed to its limits, where did the remaining 5000 find the space to stand or seat???

Over and above, a large chunk of delegates were happy go Lucky public drawn from the various corners of Kohima town.

Those merry makers and casual visitors of the town were lured by the promises of Rs 500 payment after the convention scheme.

We are confident that the adjudicating body will not take into account, the imaginary number of delegates proclaimed by our splinter group.

Knowing God is the Solution

ll have sinned and no one is righteous. All were in darkness and no one was in the light. But through Christ all can become righteous and in the light. The teachings of Jesus Christ are perfect and through the redemptive work on the cross and the power of the Holy Spirit the quest of mankind for peace is found, the thirst of mankind is quenched and the hunger is satisfied. So all sinners can be saved and can become new men and women in Christ. All can have true relationship with God. But all professed believers of Christ are not living new life. The born again life in the Holy Spirit is real transformed and new life. “The kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Rom.14:17). It is an experience of heavenly peace, joy and love. It is the prerogative of all true believers of Christ!

So a man who is being led by the Holy Spirit is a co-worker of Christ for salvation of the world from sins. But professed believers of Christ who still intentionally design any evil scheme and indulge in any evil thing are coworkers of the devil. In spite of their being professed believers of Christ, they do not know the sweetness of peace, joy and loving kindness in relationship with

God. So to them all things are the same (1 John 3:7-10).

In the context of the Nagas, nearly cent percent of the population are professed believers of Christ and some foreigners covet us that we are living as if in paradise. But in reality vast majority of our people still are not conscious of the difference between righteousness and sins and are not serious about them.

The Ruling Party NPF has been at logger-heads for years together. Almost all departments have been undergoing unprecedented crises in one way or the other. Non-payment of salaries to the employees and scholarship of students to the students are matters of rare case in the past. Employees of many departments together simultaneously threatened to stage pen down agitation. Leaders and officers are being blamed to be responsible for all these imbroglios. But are all of the staffs innocent?

If the leaves of a tree get withered, it signifies that there is a defect at the root. The unprecedented crises arising in our societies are the outcome of a defect at the root and the healing is that we all examine ourselves and turn from our sins to have the right relationship with God because He is the only healer.

Reader’s Post

Sir,

A headache for the tourists

The shifting of a separate venue for Hornbill Rock Contest would be problematic for the tourists to travel in and fro, from Kohima to Dimapur in a tight packed taxi, and then journeying back to their hotels again after the show. This festival was never meant for the commoners but it would be thoughtful if the convenience of the tourists would also be accounted into. After all, the event has always been to attract them.

CBI chief fully endorsed Asthana: Centre tells SC

New Delhi, Nov 24 (AGENCIES): Strongly responding to allegations that the number two man in the country’s premier investigative agency is compromised and was appointed against the wishes of the CBI Director, the Centre on Friday declared R.K. Asthana as an “outstanding� officer who successfully steered investigations in 40-odd scams, including the UPA 2 government’s coal scam and cases against Delhi government’s ministers and officials.

In a bristling response to the Supreme Court, Attor ney-General K.K. Venugopal pooh-poohed claims that Asthana was appointed against CBI Director Alok Kumar Verma’s note of dissent.

Rubbishing any notion of friction within the CBI’s top two men, Venugopal said Verma, instead of complaining, had “fully recommendedAsthana strongly for appointment as CBI Special Director, and continues to do so.�

R.K. Asthana

The Attorney-General dished out the minutes of meeting held by the selection committee, which includes the Chief Vigilance Commissioner, on October 21 to show that Mr. Verma was a special invitee and was privy to the entire selection process. “The selection of Asthana was totally unanimous. There was no dissent.

He is eminently suitable to hold the position of Special Director, CBI. He has a body of work including the Agusta Westland case, Hassan Ali, Moin Qureshi, Paramount Airways, chit fund scam, etc,� Venugopal

submitted.

The AG said the CBI chief had furnished a confidential letter before the selection committee, enclosing an “unsigned note� containing certain references to “one Shri Rakesh Asthana� in connection with Sterling Biotech and other entities.

However, there was nothing to prove that the “Asthana� mentioned in the unverified note and the CBI Special Director were the same person. Besides, the Central Vigilance Commission does not “take seriously� such unverified complaints, the AG explained.

On allegation that an FIR is pending against Asthana, the top law officer argued that the court’s job is confined to looking into whether the decision-making process is valid or not.

The merits of the FIR is not within the court’s domain.

The AG said Asthana was already an additional director with the CBI at the time of his appointment as Special Director, which in-

VHP distances itself in Ram temple dispute

Udipi, NOV 24 (AGENCIES): The Vishwa Hindu Parishad on Friday distanced itself from spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s attempt to mediate in the volved only a salary change. Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Asthana had also held the Masjid dispute, saying he position of CBI director-in- should not have involved charge for a while.

The Bench of Justices R.K. Agrawal and A.M. Sapre reserved the PIL filed

by NGO Common Cause, represented by advocate Prashant Bhushan, for quashing the appointment of Asthana as Special Director, CBI. The court said it will pronounce the verdict on November 28.

They alleged that Asthana had close nexus with some companies currently under CBI probe. The NGO had alleged that having him in such a sensitive post would harm the “institutional integrity� of the CBI. An additional affidavit by the NGO had claimed that Asthana’s son had worked in the same company under the CBI scanner and his daughter’s prewedding party was held in a Vadodara farmhouse owned by the company’s owners.

Logistics company staffer decamps with Rs 1 cr cash Gurgaon, Nov 24 (AGENCIES): In an audacious heist, an employee of a logistics company which replenishes automated teller machine (ATM) cash ran way with Rs 1 crore from the cash van on Friday.

Police have launched a manhunt for the accused named Hemant. Police said the cash van had four people. The crew was supposed to replenish an ATM at the Ambience Mall.

A security guard, a driver and two staff members were in the van which was parked at Ambience Mall basement to fill money into a Citibank ATM. According to the complaint, the incident took place on Friday at around 5:30 pm when suddenly, Hemant, a resident of Rohtak, ran away with the bag containing Rs 1 crore, before anyone could react to the situation, the police said.

As Hemant took the bag to fill money into ATM, no one had questioned his intention when he pulled the bag out and started walking towards

the road, police said. The police flashed alert messages across the city and barricades were also put into place on various roads to nab the accused.

A case has been registered at the DLF Phase-2 under section 409 (criminal

breach of trust) of Indian Penal Code (IPC). “Further investigation is on and we are trying to gather more information about the accused,� said Ram Singh, sub-inspector, DLF phase 2 police station.

himself in the matter. “He (Ravi Shankar) did not discuss the matter with us. If he is mediating, he is doing so at his personal level. VHP has nothing to do with it,� VHP general secretary Champat Rai said here. He was

briefing reporters on the opening day proceedings of the three-day ‘Dharma Sansad�, a congregation of 2,000 Hindu saints, mutt heads and VHP leaders from across the country at

this temple town.

Rai also said if Ravi Shankar succeeded in arriving at a solution, he would have to submit it in the Supreme Court, where the matter is being heard.

New Delhi, Nov 24 (PTI): Gold prices softened

Silver however remained steady at Rs 40,500 per kg in scattered deals from industrial units and coin makers. Traders said apart from a weak trend overseas, fall in demand from jewellers and retailers at existing levels weighed on gold prices. Globally, gold fell 0.04 per cent to USD 1,290.10 an ounce in Singapore. In the national capital, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per cent purity declined

and can hit businesses coping with down-cycles or unexpected policy changes, which would make the oneyear period too onerous even for honest promoters.

Stating that promoters of steel companies were keen to bid, it said the probability of a higher bid during the resolution process “now needs to be tempered”.

It said most of the initial dozen resolutions being carried out under the IBC provisions involve companies who have defaulted for over a year and hence, it is “highly unlikely” that promoters in any of these companies can bid for their assets.

The day the Ordinance was issued, Rajnish Kumar, chairman of SBI, which tops the list of NPAs had said though he does not mind a haircut (to resolve the bad loan issue), that does not mean he wants to go bald”.

But he was quick to defend the new law saying valuation of these assets won’t be affected due to the promoters not bidding.

The Ordinance aims at putting in place safeguards to prevent unscrupulous

Economic Affairs Secretary Subhash Chandra Garg said S&P chose to play cautious and hoped that the reforms will reflect in a ratings upgrade next year.

“We are not disappointed but our expectation would be that S&P also takes into account what the government has done,” he said adding S&P has said everything that Moody’s also stated in its rating upgrade.

S&P has reaffirmed India story, he said. He went on to add that the government will stick to the fiscal consolidation path.

Railways and Coal Minister Piyush Goyal said S&P has been historically more conservative and follows Moody’s.

In January 2007, S&P had raised sovereign credit ratings on India to ‘BBB-’ with a stable outlook, from ‘BB+’. ‘BBB’ rating is a notch above junk status.

“Upward pressure on the ratings could build if the government’s reforms markedly improve its net general government fiscal out-turns and so reduce the level of net general government debt,” S&P said today.

Mumbai, Nov 24 (PTI): Promoters of steel companies undergoing resolution under the bankruptcy code were keen to bid for assets but will not be able to do so now after the amendments to the law, which will result in larger losses for banks, says a report.

“Promoters of most large steel companies were quite intent to regain control and did appear to offer the most competitive bid during the resolution process but are barred from doing so now,” domestic brokerage Kotak Securities said in a report today.

The report comes a day after government promulgated an Ordinance amending the Insolvency and Banking Code that bars promoters of companies which have defaulted for over a year from bidding for the assets being sold by the banks to reclaim their dues.

“Absence of promoter bids can potentially increase losses for banks during the recovery process as competition will lessen,” the report said without quantifying it.

It also said the policy is retrospective in nature

New Delhi, Nov 24 (PTI): Standard & Poor’s Friday kept its sovereign rating for India unchanged at ‘BBB-minus’ with ‘stable’ outlook saying vulnerabilities stemming from low per capita income and high government debt balance strong GDP growth.

The rating action was quickly termed by the government as “unfair”.

The rating stance taken by S&P Global Ratings comes days after Moody’s Investors Service raised India’s sovereign rating for the first time in over 13 years on growth prospects boosted by continued economic and institutional reforms.

In a statement, S&P said India’s rating reflects its strong GDP growth, sound external profile and improving monetary credibility. These, it said, are “balanced against vulnerabilities stemming from the country’s low per capita income and relatively high general government debt stock.” Sanjeev Sanyal, Principal Economic Adviser, termed the rating unchange as “a bit unfair” saying the low per capita income is “neither a reflection on our ability or our willingness to pay debt.”

persons from misusing or vitiating the provisions of the IBC, the corporate affairs ministry had said, adding 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 beginning 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 collectively owe Rs 2.5 trillion or a quarter of the total bad loan mess of Rs 10 trillion, are under bankruptcy resolution. These companies include Bhushan Steel, Essar Steel, Bhushan Power & Steel, Lanco Infratech, Monnet Ispat and Electrosteel, Amtek Auto among others were referred by the RBI for resolution under this law.

In several of these cases, the original promoters themselves are among the bidders.

Mnangagwa sworn in as Zimbabwe prez

Emmerson Mnangagwa vowed to uphold constitution and protect rights of the citizens.

Harare, Nov 24 (AFP): Emmerson Mnangagwa was sworn in as Zimbabwe’s president Friday, marking the final chapter of a political drama that toppled his predecessor Robert Mugabe after a military takeover.

Mnangagwa, until recently one of Mugabe’s closest allies, took the oath of office at the national sports stadium on the outskirts of Harare before thousands of supporters, dignitaries and foreign diplomats.

Snipers took up positions around the stadium amid tight security as jubilant Mnangagwa supporters streamed in, many dancing as music played.

The man known as “The Crocodile” wore a dark suit, red tie and matching handkerchief, and a row of medals on his chest for the ceremony.

“We are excited and expecting a lot from Mnangagwa. We have been under a dictatorship for a very long time,” 23- year-old Sharon Mauyakufa said, referring to Mugabe.

“Mugabe is very old -we do not expect that he will be punished for his crimes.

How do you punish a 93year-old? But his wife and others must be charged if they committed crimes.”

The former president, who ruled the southern African country for 37 autocratic years, was ousted from office when the military intervened after he had sacked Mnangagwa as vice president.

“We thank you our soldier,” said one banner in the sports ground. “The people have spoken,” said another.

A group of elderly women dressed in blue and white gyrated in time to a big band to wild applause from the crowds.

Mugabe is in increasingly frail health and had been positioning his wife Grace as his successor, but the army chiefs acted to halt the plan and usher in Mnangagwa.

State-run media had earlier claimed that Mugabe may even attend his successor’s swearing-in -- but later suggested that after he and Mnangagwa talked about the inauguration, he agreed he “needed time to rest”.

Mnangagwa also “assured him and his family maximum security and welfare” for their future as private citizens, the state-run Herald news site also reported. Presidential spokesman George Charamba confirmed to AFP that Mugabe would not attend.

Hafiz freed in Pakistan; vows to fight for Kashmir Lahore/Washington, Nov 24 (IANS/ PTI): Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) founder Hafiz Saeed, accused of masterminding the 2008 Mumbai massacre, was on Friday freed after 10 months of house arrest here in Pakistan and immediately vowed to keep fighting for Jammu and Kashmir’s “independence”.

In an address to his supporters massed outside his Johar Town residence, the Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) leader thanked the Lahore High Court for refusing to buy the government’s arguments that his release would pose a threat to public safety.

His release, he said, was a victory for Pakistan.

“Just as I am free today, Kashmir will also be free one day,” Saeed said. “It is because of Kashmir that India has been after me. “I pray to Allah to give us strength so that we keep fighting for Kashmir’s independence (from India).”

Saeed, who carries a $10 million bounty for his role in terrorist activities, was released after a Lahore High Court review board turned

down the government’s arguments that he was a threat to public safety.

As his detention order expired on Thursday midnight, authorities withdrew jail staff from his residence.

US asks Pak to re-arrest Saeed

The US Friday asked the Pakistan government to make sure that Hafiz Saeed is arrested and charged for his crimes, following the release of the 26/11 mastermind and JuD chief from house arrest.

“The United States is deeply concerned that Lashkar-e- Taiba (LeT) leader Hafiz Saeed has been released from house arrest in Pakistan. 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,” state department spokesperson Heather Nauert said. “The Pakistani government should make sure that he is arrested and charged for his crimes,” Nauert said in a statement after the release of the Jamaatud-Dawah chief.

North Korea’s wounded defector ‘nice guy’: surgeon SEOUL, Nov 24 (Agencies): North Korea’s latest defector, a young soldier known only by his family name Oh, is a quiet, pleasant man who has nightmares about being returned to the North, his surgeon said on Thursday.

“He’s a pretty nice guy,” said lead surgeon John CookJong Lee, who has been operating and caring for the 24-yearold. Oh has become a focus of worldwide attention after he was badly wounded by fellow North Korean soldiers as he scrambled across the border in the Demilitarised Zone that separates North and South on Nov. 13.

Video of Oh’s escape released on Wednesday showed him stumbling over the border and being dragged unconscious through the undergrowth by South Korean troops.

Surgeon Lee has been almost the only person to speak with Oh since he arrived at the hospital, he told Reuters in an interview at his office at Ajou University Hospital, just a few floors away from where the defector lies guarded by South Korean special forces and intelligence officers.

The surgeon, who has hung a South Korean flag in the soldier’s room, said he is avoiding subjects that may disturb his patient.

SC to hear plea against a pre- Lucknow to get first woman Mayor in 100 yrs Mamata is against me and Independence Parsi personal law Gorkhaland, Gurung tells SC

Mamata Banerjee and Bimal Gurung.

Centre, West Bengal government and the GJM, and it was given the go-ahead to administer Darjeeling and the surrounding areas.

Patwalia argued that as per clause 29 of this accord, all cases prior to 2011 had to be closed.

“Now they say I am a fugitive. It is very sad,” he submitted.

Gurung has moved the Supreme Court under the extraordinary Article 32 of the Constitution for protection against arrest.

He is believed to be on the run from West Bengal police. The State government accused Gurung of wearing his FIRs as a “badge of honour.” Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi submitted that Gurung had over 20 criminal cases under trial alone.

Submitting that the man was absconding and

was not even available for questioning for the past three months, Singhvi said an adverse order from this court would demoralise the police force and make the State machinery feel impotent.

Singhvi said the Gorkha agitations in Darjeeling has cost two policemen their lives and over 120 were injured. Government, police and private properties were either vandalised or subjected to arson.

“It is jungle raj, complete anarchy,” Mr. Singhvi submitted. The court allowed Gurung to file an affidavit and posted the matter on Tuesday (November 28).

Meanwhile, the court obliged the West Bengal’s request to caution Gurung against giving any speeches and rock the boat till November 28.

Kerala HC refuses to stay order to screen ‘S Durga’ at IFFI

Book Kamal Haasan if cognisable offence made out, directs HC

Kochi, Nov 24 (AGENCIES): A Division Bench of the High Court of Kerala on Friday refused to stay the single judge order to screen movie S Durga at the 48th edition of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa. The Bench, which heard the appeal filed by the Centre against the single judge order, said a jury shall view the certified version of the film directed by Sanalkumar Sasidharan and take a decision on its screening at the film festival.

Incidentally, the festival, which began on November 20, will conclude on November 28.

As counsel for the Central government argued for staying the single judge order, the court pointed out that his objection was basically regarding the name of the movie.

Replying to the oral observation of the court, counsel said his opposition

was to the name and use of some objectionable words used in the movie.

Counsel argued that the jury of the Panorama Selection had viewed only the uncertified version of the movie. Counsel for the filmmaker contended that the Centre was adopting a delaying tactic so as to stop its screening in the Goa festival. He also challenged the arguments of the Centre that the inclusion of the movie in the festival would upset the screening schedule. The lawyer pointed that there were several vacant slots in the schedule of the film festival.

The petitioner had contended that the movie, screened by the jury for the Panorama Section, had excluded it from the list at the instance of the Central government and argued that the act was illegal and arbitrary.

The Division Bench later admitted the appeal filed by the Union government.

C h e nna i , N ov 2 4 (AGENCIES): The Madras High Court on Friday directed the police to register an FIR against actor Kamal Haasan if a cognisable offence is made out against him over his alleged comments on “Hindu terrorism” in a Tamil magazine.

Justice M S Ramesh passed the order on a petition by G Devarajan, a registered advocate clerk in the high court, seeking a direction to the police to register the FIR against the actor based on his complaint.

“By making such statements Kamal Haasan is trying to brand Hindus as terrorists. He should understand that no religion preaches violence but only peace.

The actor with vested interests is trying to divide the Tamil community on basis of religion,” the petitioner said.

abolishment of the jury system in the jurisprudence of the country. Notwithstanding this, the practice of appointing delegates to aid in adjudication of cases arising under the act, and giving the local Parsis an opportunity of expressing their opinion in a matter which is clearly in the realm of privacy between the parties continues to find favor in law,” Irani argued.

Irani said that though the Parliament had enacted the Family Courts Act in 1984, the Parsi community is compelled to take their matrimonial disputes to the special courts, namely Parsi Chief Matrimonial Courts and the Parsi District Matrimonial Courts, established under the 1936 Act. Even then, the 1936 Act does not allow a woman the freedom to file her divorce case in the Parsi matrimonial court in her neighbourhood. For this, she has to get prior permission from the matrimonial court concerned.

Irani asks why Parsi women cannot avail of the services of the Family Courts, which have been set up to promote reconciliation and speedy settlement of family and marital disputes.

Every person, except a Parsi, who is subject to his or her respective codified personal law can approach Family Courts. Every person, except Parsis subject to the 1936 Act, have the benefit of a secure, speedy settlement mechanism in the Family Courts.

“The law (1936 Act) impinge upon the fundamental rights of the petitioner (Irani),” the petition said.

N e w D e l h i , N ov 2 4 ( A G E N C IE S ) : Gorkhaland agitation leader Bimal Gurung on Friday told the Supreme Court that the Mamata Bannerjee government in West Bengal was pursuing double standards.

Gurung said he had been reduced to a fugitive by the same State government that once endowed him with Cabinet status and police protection after the tri-partite accord in 2011 for a separate Gorkhaland.

Arguing before a Bench of Justices A.K. Sikri and Ashok Bhushan, senior advocate P.S. Patwalia, for Gurung, submitted that the 70-odd FIRs registered against him were part of the political persecution unleashed against him by a government led by a Chief Minister who is opposed “tooth-and-nail against me [Gurung] and Gorkhaland.”

Patwalia, in his submissions, said the party Gurung founded — Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) — has been “broken” by the State government. He alleged that “21 of his people were killed by the State government”, and demanded a CBI investigation. He said the Gorkhaland Territorial Authority was set up post the 2011 accord, involving the

New Delhi, Nov 24 (AGENCIES): Half a century after the case of a young Parsi war veteran, Commander K.M. Nanavati, sounded the death knell for jury system in India, the Supreme Court on Friday agreed to take up the case of a Parsi woman, who has challenged the jury system still followed by her community’s special matrimonial courts as a violation of her fundamental right to life and dignity.

A Bench of Justices Kurian Joseph and Amitava Roy sought the view of the Centre on a petition filed by 33-year-old Naomi Sam Irani of Panchgani in Maharashtra against the pre-Independence Parsi Marriage and Divorce Act of 1936, which provides an opportunity for the “local Parsi people” to voice their opinion as jury on whether the estranged couple should be granted divorce or not.

The Centre has to respond on the petition when the case comes up for hearing the next week.

The Counsel for Irani referred to how the apex court intervened on the behalf of Muslim women to strike down triple talaq as a practice in violation of their fundamental rights of life and dignity.

Irani argued that involving the local populace in an intensely private dispute is a gross violation of her fundamental right to privacy.

The Bench expressed wonder that this law had not been challenged all these years.

“The Act under challenge has been enacted in the pre-independence era, which also pre-dates the

Lucknow 24 (AGENCIES): Breaking the glass ceiling, the city of Nawabs, Lucknow, will create history on Sunday by electing its first-ever woman mayor in 100 years.

“But better late than never,” says Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) candidate Bulbul Godiyal.

The BSP is contesting the civic polls on its party symbol — elephant — after 17 years.

Naga Women Hoho Dimapur celebrates 50 yrs

(From p-1) Speaking at the celebration, proprietor of Rainbow Academy Dimapur, Dr. Adela Mero encouraged the women not to forget what simple living was and that they must not complicate their lives with all the unconstrained conversations or reports about other people. “We poke our noses into so many businesses that we forget what simple living is,” Dr. Adela said.

Shedding light on the famous quote, “the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world”, which underlines a mother’s influence on the growing child, Dr. Adela said that the person who raises a child determines the character of that child and influences the type of society that the next generation will create.

In this regard, she encouraged the women to rock the cradle well, lest our society remain stagnant.

“We (women) need to be careful of how we rock our cradles”, she said.

In his brief message, FNR convenor, Dr. Wati Aier hinged his message on Mahatma Gandhi’s famous quote, “first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win” and said that Naga women may be ignored, laughed at, or fought with, but that, the 50 years celebration would serve as a sign of their ultimate win.

Because the world today is talking about restoration and regeneration, Dr. Wati said that men-folk need to learn that social ecology was important and that they would need both genders to work together in order to progress.

“The people behind Naga reconciliation that happened a decade ago were Naga women and I give you all the credit”, Dr. Wati said. He added that

we were now living in the post-modern world where people are talking about deconstructing the past and moving on into the future with finesse. “We are living in 2017 with iPads and best cars but when it comes to the cultural practices, we are still living in the medieval period”, he said.

E a r l i e r, t h e p r o gramme was chaired by joint secretary NWHD Holi V. Chophy, “call of triumph” and special number was presented by Coloured Keys, a short speech by Naharbari village council chairman, Tokheli Kikon, prayer and word by advisor NWHD, Khrieleno Terhüja, welcome speech by president NWHD, Nungshirenla Aier, release of NWHD anthem by founder NWHD, Khremoü Liegise and prelude of the same by Rüguoser and Asebi Khate, while felicitation was done by convenor Ashene, release

CM stresses on sustainable roads

(From p-1) It has the potential of attracting investors who would be willing to take our organic produce, handicrafts and services to the world. Nagaland has no shortage of natural resources, provided we go for full exploration. You name it gas, oil, coal, limestone, etc, we have them all. We also hold rich promise for export of crops like coffee, cardamom, pepper and spices. Rice grows naturally in our region. Also known as a bio-diversity hotspot, we have in profusion rare medicinal plants and herbs. The role of the State government for promoting growth of trade and business per se is rather constructive. It can at best be a facilitator in the form of giving policy directions, providing incentives for promoting investment,” he explained.

Zeliang said he was happy to learn about the participation of Ministry of MSME and Ministry of Textiles in the Expo along with the participation of artisans and craftsmen. “It’s essential that the much required focus for the Northeast is institutionalised in all the schemes and programmes under the Government of India to help Nagaland and other North Eastern states to catch up with the mainland,” he said.

Zeliang also stated that other Central government agencies like the National Skill Development Corporation and Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts should also help the local entrepreneurs upgrade their skills and impart knowledge about accessing the export markets. Zeliang was optimistic that the Expo would

The musical events and food stalls would also add colour to the expo, especially in the festive season, and set the mood for the Hornbill Festival, he added.

Earlier, the inaugural programme was chaired by BAN general secretary, Dr Khekugha Muru, while the welcome address was delivered by BAN president, Thungbemo Murry. Vote of thanks was proposed by BAN treasurer, Mongkum Jamir.

NSCN (I-M) greets

NSCN (I-M) through its MIP congratulated Dimapur Naga Women Union on completion of 50 years.

NSCN (I-M) stated: “Commemorating its golden jubilee will also coincidentally mark the Naga year of Liberation as the Government of India and the Naga People are about to announce the final deal between the two nations soon.”

“GPRN wishes the Naga Women Union Dimapur grand celebration as this monumental celebration paces along the course of commonly known as the ‘21st Women Century’,” MIP stated.

Non-Nagas in national...

(From p-1) Therefore, PAC which was formed under the aegis of Naga Council Dimapur (NCD) advised the underground group to keep “pristine and protected from any dirt so as not to confuse itself and the people from its not so patriotic activities today after the long struggle that has been contributed and sacrificed by the whole of the Naga nation”.

The committee also pointed out that employing non-Nagas to serve Naga national movement would only invite more “desperadoes and scoundrels” to swamp on the land that the Nagas have been fighting since the beginning of the movement. Further, while questioning the “patriotism” of the NSCN (I-M) for recruiting such “questionable illegal immigrant, non-Naga and a scoundrel to be in the service of the Naga nation”, the PAC demanded all Naga National Groups to immediately terminate the service of all non-Nagas in toto.

A.P. Shah demands high-level probe into Justice Loya’s death

Brijgopal Harkishan Loya

that attempts were made to bribe and intimidate Loya during the course of the trial. A sister of Loya had said she was not convinced that his death was a natural one. Justice BH Loya died five months after taking over Amit Shah’s case. Outlook cannot independently verify the allegations.

“I feel that it is very necessary that the head of judiciary - either CJI (chief Justice of India) or Chief Justice of Bombay High Court should look into it,” said Justice AP Shah told NDTV. The report by Niranjan Takle points out several details that raise questions about how the judge died, the cause of which was earlier reported

to be a heart attack.

The CPI(M) has also demanded a high-level judicial probe to look into the circumstances leading to the death of CBI court judge H P Loya in 2014.

“The whole matter has raised disturbing questions of murder, bribery, subversion of law and manipulation of institutions of parliamentary democracy at the highest level, which must be seriously investigated,” the CPI(M) told news agency PTI. Justice Shah told The Wire that the allegations, if not investigated, will cause serious stigma on the judiciary.

“I feel it is very necessary that the chief justice of the high court or the Chief Justice of India (CJI) himself should look into this material and decide whether to order an enquiry, because if these allegations are not investigated, it causes serious stigma on the judiciary. As it is, in recent times there are several self-inflicted wounds on the judiciary and I feel that such matters should be investigated.”

3 NE women harassed at Chennai football stadium C HE N NA I , N ov 2 4 (Agencies): A group of people on Thursday harassed three women from the North East in Chennai’s Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium during a football match between Chennayin FC and NorthEast United FC. According to News18, the incident, caught on camera, showed a man making obscene gestures and dancing in front of three women even as a man tried to shoo them away.

Soon, people gathered around women, but no one mustered the courage to confront the man.

While a man holding a flag can be seen dancing, another man on the other side was seen making offensive signs.

As the man continued making obnoxious ges-

ticulation, crowd around the man and concerned women gawked in amusement. When the harasser turned his back to her, the woman pushed him aside, indicating he remain at a distance.

The man was unfazed and went on to further mock the woman. Her friends, though, tried their best to keep him away.

The video shared first on a Facebook page -- Indian Football Team - For World Cup -- has now become a point of discussion on fan pages associated with both Chennayin FC and NorthEast United FC. Actor John Abraham, the owner of the NorthEast United team, termed the incident deeply disturbing and wrote on his team’s official page: “To the girl who was victimized by these

Punjab CM flays foreign govt on terror suspect’s arrest Chandigarh, Nov 24 (IANS): Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Friday rejected as “baseless” the statements emanating from the UK, Canada and other countries on the arrest and alleged torture of UK national Jagtar Singh Johal in a terror module case.

Flaying the governments of the United Kingdom, Canada and other countries and their leaders for questioning the arrest of Johal alias Jaggi, an Indian origin person, with the busting of a terror module in Punjab, the Chief Minister said none had approached either the Punjab government or the Indian government on the issue.

As for allegations of Johal’s torture by Punjab Police, Amarinder said these foreign governments had no evidence of what

Captain Amarinder Singh

they were claiming.

“They have no face to do so, as all their allegations are totally baseless, with not an iota of proof to support them,” the Chief Minister said here.

“India has never interfered in other countries’ policing and legal matters, even if an Indian citizen was involved, and expect the same respect and diplomatic propriety to be

followed by other nations as well,” he added.

“Radical elements based in Britain and other countries have orchestrated a false and slanderous media campaign against the Punjab government and state police,” he said.

Amarinder Singh also flayed the opposition in Punjab for raising doubts over Johal’s arrest in the targeted killing of Hindu leaders since January 2016, accusing them of “acting against Punjab’s interests by echoing baseless statements of foreign elements”.

Reacting to statements

by Shiromani Akali Dal and Aam Aadmi Party leaders, the Chief Minister termed their comments “unfortunate” and not in the interest of Punjab and its people. “ T h e r e i s a we l l planned conspiracy at work in this whole affair,” Amarinder Singh said, and challenged opposition leaders to prove their charge of human rights violation of Johal. “In fact, police officers are receiving death threats targeted at them and their family members from such elements over phone, WhatsApp and social media platforms,” the

Chief Minister claimed.

“From permission to talk to his family to consular access, medical examinations to timely production in court, the due process of law had been followed at every step from the moment he was arrested,” Amarinder Singh said.

The Chief Minister said his government was more concerned about m a i n t a i n i n g P u n j a b ’s peace and stability rather than worrying about perceived embarrassment at the hands of foreign forces that have no stake in India’s security or development.

New Delhi, Nov 24 (AGENCIES): Justice AP Shah has demanded that there should be a probe into the death of the CBI judge Brijgopal Harkishan Loya who was hearing the high-profile case on the alleged staged encounter of Sohrabuddin Sheikh in which then Gujarat home minister and now BJP president Amit Shah was the prime accused.

In an interview to NDTV, former chief justice of Delhi high court Justice AP Shah, known for his bold judgments, said: “His (Loya’s) family feels very strongly that there was some foul play in his death. Now there was a long list of circumstances starting from the fact that there was blood on his clothes, and somebody signed the postmortem report as it is. They feel that there is something wrong with the conclusion that he died of cardiac arrest.”

Angela Merkel and SPD to meet in new bid for deal

Schulz met President Steinmeier, who is trying to break the stalemate by talking to party leaders.

He then had eight hours of late-night talks with SPD leaders.

The SPD governed in coalition with Mrs Merkel between 2013 and 2017.

But Mr Schulz promised to change course after September’s election, when his party had its worst result since 1949.

Mrs Merkel’s ministers remain in office in a caretaker role, as the September election produced no overall majority.

Until a government is agreed, she continues as acting chancellor, while the newly-elected German parliament sits as normal.

The delay in forming a new coalition has worried some European Union allies, who see Germany as a pillar of stability in the bloc.

Speaking in Brussels, Mrs Merkel said Germany continued to have a government committed to the EU. “We are conducting the consultations we need with our parliament in order to be capable of taking the necessary decisions.”

Angela Merkel

Martin Schulz

L o n d o n, N ov 2 4 (Agencies): German Chancellor Angela Merkel and her ex-coalition partners Social Democrats are to hold discussions in efforts to end a political impasse.

According to BBC, the centre-left SPD has softened its stance, saying it is open for talks.

Leader Martin Schulz had refused to renew a coalition with Mrs Merkel’s conservatives but came under pressure from allies to change his position.

Mrs Merkel failed to form a coalition government with the liberal Free Democrats and the Greens this week.

German President Frank Walter Steinmeier

will host Mr Schulz and Mrs Merkel for talks next week.

He had strongly rejected joining a coalition led by Mrs Merkel’s Christian Democrats (CDU) and Christian Social Union (CSU) and promised to take his party into opposition.

But in a slight shift on Friday, he did not categorically rule out a new alliance, saying that “nothing [was] automatic” on the party’s direction.

“But one thing is very clear: if a discussion results in us deciding to participate in any form whatsoever in the formation of a government, we will put it to a vote of party members.”

Kim Jong-un’s hit list revealed

Nay Pyi Taw, Nov 24 (IANS): Human Rights Watch (HRW) on Friday dismissed an agreement signed by Myanmar and Bangladesh to repatriate Rohingya refugees, calling it “laughable”. “(Some) 620,000 Rohingya refugees have only just escaped one of the most brutal cases of mass persecution in recent times...

The idea that Myanmar will now welcome them back to their smouldering villages with open arms is laughable,” said HRW’s Bill Frelick.

Bangladesh and Myanmar on Thursday signed a memorandum of intent that opens the way for the return of the displaced Rohingyas, whose exodus began on August 25 after attacks by an insurgent group and the subsequent retaliation by the Myanmar Army, reports Efe news. The memorandum contains “the general guiding principles and policy arrangements to systematically verify and receive the displaced persons from Rakhine state”, said the office of the State Counsellor of Myanmar and Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi. Frelick called on the international community to “make it clear that there can be no returns without international monitors to

ensure security”, calling the bilateral agreement a public relations stunt.

He also called for a rejection of plans to establish detention camps, urging the return of their land and the reconstruction of towns and homes belonging to the Rohingya, the Muslim minority not recognised by Myanmar.

“Even then, it will be hard to build the trust necessary for many Rohingya to voluntarily return unless the Myanmar Army begins the mammoth task of reversing decades of abuses and discrimination against its Rohingya population,” Frelick added.

Neither the Myanmar nor Bangladeshi authorities have revealed the details of the agreement, including when the repatriation of the 622,000 refugees will begin.

Myanmar has said it was willing to receive them as soon as possible but only after identifying them, determining their place of origin and sharing this information between the two countries.

The current Rohingya exodus began with the retaliatory operations of the Myanmar armed forces launched after the rebel group Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army attacked some 30 military and police checkposts in Rakhine.

L o n d o n, N ov 2 4 (Agencies): Kim Jongun’s nuclear hit list includes major US cities and specifically names The White House and The Pentagon, it has been revealed.

A report by the think tank European Commission of Foreign Relations shows a list of 15 North Korean targets. As well as the iconic governmental landmarks, Manhattan, Guam, Kyoto and Tokyo are all earmarked by the hermit kingdom.

The research, published yesterday, stated: ‘From the North Korean sources, one can compile a list of possible targets for a nuclear strike.

‘Pyongyang repeatedly threatens both US bases in the Asia-Pacific and cities on the US mainland, while the media repeats the threat that North Korean “strategic forces” are ready at any time to strike the US mainland, their stronghold, their military bases in the operational theatres in the Pacific, including Hawaii and Guam, and those in South Korea.

‘Japanese and South Korean cities are also designated as targets.

‘Japanese cities are more explicitly targeted, including in a list that names Tokyo, Osaka, Yokohama, Nagoya, Kyoto.’

Kathmandu, Nov 24 (PTI): Nepal Friday closed its border with India and China as it gears up for the historic round of provincial and parliamentary polls, eleven years after the country began its journey toward democracy, that many hope will bring much-needed political stability to the Himalayan nation.

Land-locked Nepal is holding provincial and parliamentary elections in two phases on November 26 and December 7.

The elections are being seen as the final step in Nepal’s transition to a federal democracy following a decade-long civil war till 2006 that claimed more than 16,000 lives.

More than 300,000 members of the security forces will be deployed for the two-stage election, with northern provinces voting on Sunday and southern areas and Kathmandu going to the polls on December 7.

Results are expected a few days after the second vote.

While many hope Nepal’s first state elections will hasten regional development, others fear they will spark a fresh wave of violence.

DECLARATION

In 2015, when Nepal adopted a new Constitution that split it into seven states, dozens of people were killed in ethnic clashes over territory and rights.

“We created the Constitution after years of struggle, but that is not enough,” said Nabindra Raj Joshi, a senior leader of the Nepali Congress, the country’s largest political party. “The most important part is implementation.

This election will launch the provincial administration that will turn our achievements into reality.”

Following the adoption of the new Constitution in 2015, the ethnic Madhesi group, mostly of Indian-origin, protested for months, saying they were not getting enough

territory in one of the states and were also facing discrimination.

Violent clashes not only left more than 50 people dead, but also left the country with severe shortages of fuel and medicine because protesters blocked the borders with India.

The protesters finally agreed to the elections after some amendments were made to the constitution.

According to officials, the crossing points with India will be sealed from today till the evening of Sunday.

Nepal-China border crossing at Rasuwagadhi and Kimathanka have been closed for 72 hours from midnight, ahead of the first phase of elections scheduled for November 26.

It reads: ‘It has become almost a cliché in policy circles to state that North Korea is a rational, strategic actor.

‘But, with many in the media still describing Pyongyang as “crazy” or “suicidal”, it bears repeating. ‘North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic weapons programmes are the product of a rational cost-benefit analysis.

‘They are founded on the regime’s calculated assessment of the threats to its survival, and their high risks have been taken into account.’ It comes as North Korea denounced US President Donald Trump’s decision to relist it as a state sponsor of terrorism, calling the move a ‘serious provocation and violent infringement’.

Riyadh, Nov 24 (IANS): Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has called Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as the “new Hitler of the Middle East” amid heightened tensions between the two countries. In an interview to the New York Times, Salman said Iran could not be allowed to spread its influence and that it was important to avoid a repeat “of what happened in Europe in the Middle East”.

“We learnt from Europe that appeasement doesn’t work. We don’t want the new Hitler in Iran to repeat what happened in Europe in the Middle East,” the paper quoted him as saying.

He said Saudi Arabia was slowly building a coalition with its allies to “stand up to Iran”. Saudi Arabia -- a Sunni Muslim-majority

country -- and Shia Muslimled Iran are at loggerheads across the Middle East and increasingly accuse each other of fuelling instability across the region.

There was no official Iranian reaction to the latest remarks. Salman has taken a hard line towards Iran since coming to prominence in the past two years.

Earlier this month, he accused Iran of what he said was “tantamount to an act of war”, blaming it for a missile attack aimed at the Saudi capital by rebels in neighbouring Yemen. Iran denied its involvement.

The crown prince also dismissed claims in the interview that the anti-corruption drive in his country that led to the arrest of several prominent royals was a “power grab”, saying such comments were “ludicrous”, the New York Times reported on Thursday.

He said that many of those being held in the Riyadh Ritz-Carlton had pledged allegiance to him and the proposed reforms.

Adding that he also had the support of most key royals, he said: “Our country has suffered a lot from corruption from the 1980s until today.”

B RU SSE L S, N ov 2 4 (Agencies): British Prime Minister Theresa May holds a crunch meeting with European Union (EU) President Donald Tusk on Friday as hopes mount that she will offer compromises to secure a Brexit deal in December. The talks, on the sidelines of a summit with ex-Soviet states in Brussels, come a week after Tusk gave May until the start of December to make “much more progress” on divorce terms in order to unlock trade negotiations.

After months of deadlock, European officials say they hope May will finally bring a new proposal on Britain’s exit bill after senior British ministers agreed earlier this week to improve the offer to a reported 40 billion euros. The EU has demanded “sufficient progress” on the bill as well as the increasingly delicate issue of Northern Ireland and the rights of EU citizens, if it is to move onto the next phase of negotiations at a Dec 14-15 summit. The Tusk meeting -- for which no timing was immediately available -- launches a frantic few days of Brexit diplomacy, during which May will also meet European Commission President JeanClaude Juncker in Brussels on Dec 4.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s attempt to bring alive the story of Rajput queen Rani Padmavati on the silver screen with his movie “Padmavati” hasn’t gone down well with Hindu groups backed by the BJP. It features Deepika as Rani Padmavati, Shahid Kapoor as her husband and a warrior king and Ranveer Singh essays Alauddin Khilji.

Bhansali faced many hiccups while shooting the film, but the protests escalated as the film neared its release date. There are conjectures that it “distorts history” regarding the Rajput queen, and Bhansali has denied it repeatedly.

The movie’s release date has been deferred from the original December 1 date, but there are efforts from Hindu groups to have it banned.

Talking about all the

protests surrounding the project, the “Piku” star said: “It is hurtful and it is sad. Cinema has the power to bring the people together, to unite people and to spread love. It is disheartening sometimes that people don’t recognise that.”

The actress also spoke about the gender dynamics of Indian cinema.

venged Sevenfold’s (AX7) M. Shadows says that Linkin Park has “every right to move forward” following the passing of Chester Bennington.

The Linkin Park frontman died on July 20 at his Los Angeles area home after committing suicide at the age of 41.

L i n k i n Pa r k p a i d tribute to Bennington on October 27 with an emotional three-hour show that featured numerous guests joining the band onstage at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

Shadows, who was one of the guests at the Hollywood Bowl concert, spoke about Chester’s death during a recent interview with Eddie Trunk.

He said: “I didn’t know Chester very well; I knew him kind of fleetingly, I guess. But I’m really good friends with Mike Shinoda and Dave [Farrell]. Me and Mike hang out every summer when Coachella happens, and Desert Trip [last] year, when they had Roger Waters and Paul McCartney and all that. So he usually comes out to the house out

there and we’ll hang out all weekend. He actually played me this whole record [Linkin Park’s latest album, ‘One More Light’] before it came out, and it was pretty haunting at the time, even hearing Chester’s demos on the record. And then for this all to happen is just heartbreaking.”

The Avenged Sevenfold singer, whose bandmate Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan died in December 2009 from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs and alcohol, continued: “I think Mike realizes we’ve been through the same sort of thing — even though The Rev’s [death] wasn’t a sucide, you’re losing a friend at such an early age. It’s insane.”

Asked if he thinks Linkin Park will carry on

without Bennington, M. Shadows said: “They’re human beings and they have a long life to live. And I think if they love music this much, they have every right to move forward.

Knowing Mike as well as I do, he’s always been, in my opinion, the leader of that band — the guy who gets things going, the guy who gets demos going, the guy who obsesses over every detail of that band.

“It’s gonna be hard to lose Chester; he easily was one of the best vocalists of our time. From when I was growing up, just watching them live, he just was flawless for what he did. And it’s gonna be tough, but at the same time, Mike is such a hard worker and he’s so dedicated to that band and put so much time in that I can’t just see him just being done with it.”

Po i n t i n g o u t t h a t “there’s no blueprint for life,” M. Shadows called the surviving members of Linkin Park “great dudes” and urged the band’s fans “to give them time to recoup” so they can figure out their next move.

ritically acclaimed actor Adil Hussain says role models are slowly emerging from the northeast states but it would take time. He drew attention to the absence of awareness about filmmaker Haobam Paban Kumar’s special mention at the Asia Pacific Screen Awards for the Manipuri movie “Lady of the Lake”.

Manipuri movie “Lady of the Lake” won a special mention.

Asked about role models emerging from the northeast states, the “Parched” actor responded positively, citing examples.

“It’s happening with Papon from Assam. He is becoming famous across India for singing in Hindi films. I come from a small town called Goalpara in Assam... When they see Adil is doing films across the globe, (people feel) if he can do it, then we can do it... There is amazing amount of talent in the region,” he said.

“The discourse has just started a few years ago... (the Look East and Act East policy). It will take a few generations, but with the help of information technology, it will go faster,” added Adil, who

has acted in English, Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Norwegian and French films.

He added that the “narrative” of reverse racism needs to change and in today’s day and age, he sees that evolving in the northeastern states with more exposure.

“When people from this part of the country go to northeast, when they go they can be asked ‘Oh, you have come from India’... I have experienced that, but it was long back. I haven’t faced that recently,” said Adil.

Ashes Test: Smith, Marsh lead Australia fight back

Australia captain Steve Smith raises his bat after scoring a half century on Day 2 of the first Ashes Test.

men frustrated.

The batting pair showed a lot of grit and patience as they played judicious shots even as Australian bowlers were charging in with vigour.

Their partnership had extended to 83 runs when Malan top-edged a short delivery from left-armer Mitchell Starc in the second ball of the 103rd over.

Moeen fell soon, getting dismissed by a LBW verdict in favour of offspinner Nathan Lyon in the following over. Lyon soon then scalped Chris Woakes (0), as England lost seven wickets for 250.

Jonny Bairstow’s was the next wicket to fall as he edged a delivery from Pat Cummins to wicket-keeper Tim Paine.

B ri s ban e , N ov 2 4 (IANS): Captain Steven Smith (64 not out) and Shaun Marsh (44 not out) helped Australia reach 165 for four after England posted 302 in their first innings on the second day of their opening Ashes cricket Test at the Gabba here on Friday.

After overnight batsmen Dawid Malan (56) and Moeen Ali (38) took England’s total from the overnight score of 196/4 to 302, the hosts found themselves reeling at 76/4.

But Smith and lefthander Marsh put up an unbeaten 89-run stand to bail Australia out of trouble at the Gabba.

Earlier at the beginning of the day, Malan registered his third Test fifty as he and Moeen left Australian pace-

Ta i l - e n d e r s S t u a r t Broad (20), Jake Ball (13) and James Anderson (5 not out) did their best as England crossed the 300-run mark.

In reply, Australia had a terrible start, losing Cameron Bancroft (5) as he edged paceman Broad to the waiting hands of wicket-keeper Bairstow. Usman Khawaja fell for 11, found plumb in front of the wickets against off-spinner Moeen Ali, as Australia were 30/2.

Experienced opener David Warner was playing positively at the personal score of 26 before he messed up a pull shot off medium pacer Ball and the ball landed in the hands of Malan at short mid-wicket, as Australia were precariously placed at 59/3.

At 76/4, Smith and Marsh effected a recovery which was desperately needed. The right-left combination began with caution but once they got it going, they were rewarded with boundary shots.

Brief scores: England first innings: 302 all out (James Vince 83, Dawid Malan 56, Mark Stoneman 53; Mitchell Starc 3/77, Pat Cummins 3/85). Australia first innings: 165/4 (Steven Smith 64 not out, Shaun Marsh 44 not out; Stuart Broad 1/18, James Anderson 1/26) at sumps on Day 2.

Dinesh Chandimal, who top-scored with a patient 122-ball 57 before adding three more wickets to return with figures of 4/67.

Left-arm spinner Jadeja complemented the off-spinner well, finishing with 3/56 while veteran paceman Ishant Sharma also picked up three wickets giving away 37 runs in his 14 overs.

Resuming the final session at 151/4, the tourists found the going tough and lost wickets at regular intervals with their last six wickets falling for just 54 runs. Besides Chandimal, opener Dimukh Karunaratne (51 from 147;

6x4) and stumper Niroshan Dickwella (24 from 30; 4x4) were the only other batsmen who managed to provide some resistance to the Indian spin duo.

The series is currently squared at 0-0 after the drawn opening Test at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Brief Scores: Sri Lanka 205 (Dinesh Chandimal 57, Dimukh Karunaratne 51, Niroshan Dickwella 24; Ravichandran Ashwin 4/67, Ravindra Jadeja 3/56, Ishant Sharma 3/37) vs India 11/1 (Lokesh Rahul 7, Murali Vijay 2 not out, Cheteshwar Pujara 2 not out; Lahiru Gamage 1/4).

NEW DELHI, Nov 24 (Agencies): Even given cricket’s history with quirky scorecards, this is one innings which stands out.

On Friday, the Nagaland Under-19 women’s cricket team were all out for just two runs in 17 overs against Kerala in the ongoing BCCI Women’s Under19 One-Day League and Knockout Tournament at the JKC college ground, Guntur.

Remarkably, only one run was scored off the bat, from opener Menka who faced 18 deliveries - the most in the innings - while the other came off a wide delivery bowled by Kerala’s opening bowler Aleena Surendran.

Surendran was the only bowler to concede any runs and not take any wickets for Kerala in the match, as she finished with figures of 3-2-2-0. Her opening parter, Sourabhya P, bowled six maidens claiming two wickets while captain Minnu Mani took four wickets for no run in her four overs.

Rahul started the Indian response on a positive note, getting off the mark with a boundary through mid-off before going into a shell, which saw him consume 13 deliveries for his brief knock.

Earlier, Indian spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja wreaked havoc, sharing seven wickets to bowl out Sri Lanka for 205 in their first innings.

Ashwin, who went wicketless in the first two sessions, broke the backbone of the Lankan innings by removing skipper

Nagaland’s opening bowler Deepika Kaintura starting off with a wide after which the first legal ball was hit for a boundary by Ansu S Raju.

Kerala coach Suman Sharma hailed her girls for their great effort. “It was a great win. We have been playing good cricket but today girls were exceptional.

Nagaland was not a great side and they were scoring 20’s, 30’s and 40’s but bowling them out for two was brilliant. Credit goes captain Minnu and other girls in the squad,” the coach said after the game.

Despite registering a big win, Kerala failed to qualify for the last-four stage, as they could win just two matches out of five games they played.

NCA seeks support for cricketers

In the aftermath of the defeat of Nagaland under 19 women’s team by a huge margin against Kerela, and also defeat against UP, Delhi, Mumbai and Jharkhand, the Nagaland Cricket Association (NCA) has appealed sports lovers to support state cricketers while assuring that the NCA would continue to pursue improvement of the game at all levels.

In a press statement issued by its vice president, P.Bendang Jamir, NCA stated that despite today’s defeat, state cricketers have been doing quite well in the boys’ age group tournaments of the BCCI. At present, the state has two players- Tahmeed and Petinezo Rupereo - in the combined U-19 team of NE and Bihar. In 2016, four U-19 Nagaland players - Sedezalie, Nagaho Chishi, Puchu Dev and Tahmeed - played for the combined team of BCCI. However, limited infrastructure, lack of facilities, absence of human resource in coaching and training and lack of funds are some of the challenges faced by the association, Jamir stated in the statement.

It may be mentioned here that Nagaland women’s team played its first ever tournament at Dhanbad in the zonal event and defeated Arunachal, Sikkim, Meghalaya and Manipur. It also became the only team from Northeast to qualify for the Super league.

Meanwhile, Nagaland will be hosting four U-6 Vijay Merchant Trophy matches in December 2017 where Nagaland U-16 boys team will also participate.

Robinho

Milan, Nov 24 (IANS): Brazilian forward Robinho has been sentenced to nine years in prison for participating in the 2013 gang rape of a woman in Milan.

An Italian court convicted Robinho and five other of assaulting the Albanian woman after a drunken night out at a discotheque.

The 33-year-old was also ordered to pay the victim 60,000 euros in compensation. The trial of Robinho’s companions has been put on hold because their whereabouts are unknown.

Robinho did not attend any of the court hearings but pleaded not guilty via his lawyer. “We would like to clarify that he has already defended himself against the accusations, affirming that he did not participate in the episode,” read a statement on Robinho’s Instagram account. “All legal measures are being taken.” The sentence will not be enforced until the appeal process ends.

Oscar Pistorius’ prison sentence increased

Pretoria, Nov 24 (IANS): A South African court on Friday increased from six to 13 years and five months former Paralympian Oscar Pistorius’s prison sentence for murdering his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.

The Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein increased the prison term after prosecutors argued that the six-year term for murdering Steenkamp in 2013, reports the BBC. Pistorius claimed he shot dead Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day after mistaking her for a burglar. He fired four times through a locked toilet door at his home in the capital city of Pretoria.

Prosecutors argued that the six-year term was “shockingly light”.

However, a lower court justified the six-year sentence by citing mitigating circumstances such as rehabilitation and remorse.

It said they outweighed aggravating factors such as his failure to fire a warning shot.

The athlete was not in court to hear the decision.

A spokesman for Steenkamp’s family said the ruling “verified there was justice”, the BBC reported.

3 Indians in finals of world youth boxing

GUWAHATI, Nov 24 (PTI): There was no stopping the Indian juggernaut at the AIBA Youth women’s World Boxing Championships as three of home pugilists entered the finals on Friday.

Jyoti Gulia (51kg), Shashi Chopra (57kg) and Ankushita Boro (64kg) claimed contrasting victories to enter the summit clashes of their respective weight categories in front of a packed arena.

H o w e ve r, i n t h e +81kg category, Neha Yadav, who had got direct entry into the semifinals due to the small size of the draw, was outpunched

by Kazakhstan’s Dina Islambekova, ending the Indian’s campaign with a bronze medal.

Jyoti opened the proceedings for the home contingent and defeated Kazakhstan’s Zhansaya Abdraimova. In a draining slugfest, Jyoti emerged triumphant in a split verdict.

Jyoti will be up against Russia’s very impressive Ekaterina Molchanova in the final. Molchanova sailed past Japan’s Rinka Kinoshita.

Next up was Shashi against Mongolia’s Namun Monkhor in a bout that was fought on defensive tactics. The first three minutes were spent getting a measure of each other before Shashi decided to go on the offensive in the second round.

The dividends were instant for her as Monkhor faced a standing eight

count. Monkhor too upped the ante in the final round but Shashi took advantage of her longer reach to connect some clean straights and fetch a unanimous verdict.

Shashi will face Vietnam’s Do Hong Ngoc in the final on Sunday.

Walking in to the loudest cheer was local favourite was Ankushita Boro (64kg) against Thailand’s Thanchnok Saksri.

Boro did not have an easy opponent in Saksri, who was quick to exploit the defensive lapses committed by the Indian in the opening three minutes.

But Boro raised the intensity in the second and third round to swing the contest in her favour and enter the summit clash.
