Hornbill Festival meant to promote and protect rich Naga culture: CM

NEW DELHI/MUMBAI, NOV 25 (PTI): The Supreme Court is set to pass an order on Tuesday on the issue of a floor test in the Maharashtra Assembly to ascertain whether chief minister Devendra Fadnavis enjoyed majority, as the BJP and the Shiv SenaNCP-Congress combine sparred over their claims of support.

The order will be passed at 10.30 am on Tuesday, the court said on Monday, giving the shaky 3-day-old Maharashtra government a breather.

The dramatic turn of events that led to the return of BJP’s Fadnavis as chief minister on Saturday propped up by NCP’s Ajit Pawar after the latter’s revolt against the Sharad Pawarled party also echoed in Parliament with the Congress and other opposition members creating a ruckus.

Ajit Pawar, the nephew of Sharad Pawar, was made the deputy chief minister.

Both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha were adjourned several hours ahead of schedule in the wake of unrelenting protests by the opposition members.

The order by the apex court bench comprising justices NV Ramana, Ashok Bhushan and Sanjiv Khanna came after a 80-minute hearing on a petition by the 3-party combine against the governor’s decision to invite the BJP to form the government and swearing in Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar

In an unpredecented action in Indian politics, the Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress combine on Monday organised a public parade of their 162 supporting MLAs in a bid to disprove the claims of 170 legislators made by the BJP and its ally Ajit Pawar.

Besides the enthusiastic 162 MLAs of the three “Maha Vikas Aghadi’’ partners, top leaders of all three parties like Sharad Pawar, Supriya Sule, Praful Patel and Nawab Malik, Jitendra Awhad (all NCP), Uddhav Thackeray, Aditya Thackeray, Eknath Shinde, and Sanjay Raut (all Shiv Sena), Ashok Chavan, Prithviraj Chavan and Mallikarjuna Kharge (Congress) and others were present. Abu Asim Azmi of the Samajwadi Party was also at the parade.

D I M A P U R , N OV 2 5 (NPN): Combined Technical Association of Nagaland (CTAN) has demanded termination of “illegal appointees” (30 SOs grade-II, 7 Draftsmen and 7 surveyor) under Nagaland Public Works Department (NPWD), who were appointed between July 6, 2016 and August 10, 2018.

CTAN through its media cell stated that the Civil Engineers Association of Nagaland (CEAN) had on February 7, 2019 submitted a representation with the name lists requesting the department for termination of illegal backdoor appointees of SO Grade-II, Draftsmen and Surveyor dated with 30 days from the submission of representation.

H o w e v e r, C T A N said that the appeal of the CEAN has not been acknowledged yet, adding

as the chief minister and the deputy chief minister respectively.

The Sena-led combine pressed for an order for carrying out the floor test on Monday itself, which was opposed by Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar.

The BJP is the single largest party with 105 MLAs

that there has been no official notification from the side of the department on the issue.

CTAN claimed that the posts of nine SO grade-II, which was advertised vide notification NO.NPWD/EIN-C/DRB/90/2019 dated November 23, 2019, was for the existing vacancy and not as demanded by CEAN when the said representation was submitted.

CTAN has, therefore, appealed to the responsible department to acknowledge the demand made by CEAN. It also requested the department to hold the departmental exam for the post of SO grade-II till the demand of CEAN was met.

CTAN has further appealed to all the departments to restrain from conducting any departmental exams till the SSB was fully functional.

Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Monday closed investigations in some of the cases pertaining to the infamous “irrigation scam” in the Vidarbha Irrigation Development Corporation (VIDC) when it was headed by deputy chief minister Ajit Ajit Pawar Pawar, officials said here.

ACB has shut the investigations into at least nine cases in which Ajit Pawar was allegedly involved, though it is not clear if he was directly named, on the first day of the new government taking office on Monday, 48 hours after it was sworn in early on Saturday. However, DG of Maharashtra Anti-Corruption Bureau Parambir Singh said today that “none of these cases closed today pertain to Ajit Pawar”.

The Centre told the apex court that the BJP had the support of all 54 NCP MLAs to form a government and asked for two to three days to reply to the plea against Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari’s decision.

After perusing Koshyari’s letter inviting Fadnavis, the bench said it has to be decided whether the chief minister enjoyed majority on the floor of the House.

NEW DELHI, NOV 25 (PTI): The Centre on Monday reviewed the security situation in the Northeastern states which have witnessed protests in the past few weeks over the move to amend the Citizenship Act to grant Indian nationality to non-Muslims from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan, officials said.

Heads of state intelligence agencies of all Northeastern states, Assam Rifles and paramilitary forces attended the meeting which was chaired by National Security Advisor Ajit Doval.

The meeting, convened by the National Security Council Secretariat, which is headed by Doval, analysed the intelligence inputs coming from the ground with regard to opposition to the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, a security official said.

saying the combine has affidavits from 154 MLAs and the BJP should be asked to prove its majority within 24 hours if it has the numbers.

Though the deadline for proving majority has not been brought on judicial record, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre and the Secretary to the Governor, and senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for Fadnavis, said the Governor had given 14 days time.

In Mumbai, leaders of the Shiv Sena, NCP and the Congress submitted a letter to the governor, reiterating their claim that they have the required numbers to form a government.

The top officials gave detailed presentations on the findings of their respective organisations about the protests and people’s approach towards the proposed legislation.

The bill seeks to amend the Citizenship Act, 1955 in order to grant Indian nationality to Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians who come to India after facing religious persecution in Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan even if they don’t possess proper documents.

This was an election promise of the BJP in the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha polls. A large section of people and organisations in the Northeast have opposed the bill, saying it will nullify the provisions of the Assam Accord of 1985, which fixed March 24, 1971 as the cut-off date for deportation

KOHIMA, NOV 25 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio said Hornbill Festival was meant to promote and protect rich cultural heritage of the Nagas, besides preserving their age-old traditions.

Speaking during inauguration of renovated Angami morung at Naga heritage village at Kisama here on Monday evening, Rio observed that the festival attracted lots of local and international tourists, besides VVIPs, where tribes of Nagaland displayed their rich culture and traditions.

He said all the tribes made respective morungs at Kisama to showcase their rich culture and traditions to the tourists coming from outside.

Stressing on morungs, the chief minister explained that these were community houses highlighting different characteristics of different tribes. He said the Angami morung was constructed with the contribution of Angami legislators from LAD fund, even as he encouraged other community legislators to also contribute to their respective morungs. Rio expressed the

of all illegal immigrants irrespective of religion.

The Congress, Trinamool Congress, CPI(M) and a few other parties have been steadfastly opposing the bill, claiming that citizenship can’t be given on the basis of religion.

The BJP-led NDA government had introduced the bill in its previous tenure and got the Lok Sabha’s approval. But the government did not introduce it in the Rajya Sabha, apparently due to vehement protests in the Northeast. The bill had lapsed following the dissolution of the last Lok Sabha.

As per the earlier bill, those who have entered India on or before December 31, 2014, are eligible to get the benefits after it becomes an act. There is a possibility of changes in the cut-off date too, another official said.

hope that a morung would continue be a place of enjoyment and blessings, besides promoting and upholding the identity of “our community”. He remarked that whoever visited a morung during the Hornbill Festival would be the ambassador for the Nagas.

Admitting that Nagaland still had a long way to attract tourists, he said constructing morungs could be a step forward towards promoting tourism. He encouraged the gathering to make Nagaland the “real land of festivals” that promoted peace, harmony and development.

The morung was dedicated by Rev Keviyiekielie Linyü and the traditional blessing invoked by Neisa Thol. The programme was

D I M A P U R , N OV 2 5 (NPN): NSCN (I-M) has clarified that Naga youth willing to join the Naga national service out of their own conviction did not violate ceasefire ground rules and nor they were being forced by any local authority or NSCN to do so.

Reacting to a press note issued by defence PRO Lt Col Sumit Sharma that “covert recruitment racket” of NSCN (I-M) was busted in Mon on November 21, which appeared in local dailies, the organisation claimed that ever since the Naga political movement started more than 70 years ago, the passion to serve the Naga nation had been growing steadily and spontaneously among Naga youth because the Indo-Naga political issue mattered to them.

According to NSCN (I-M), the issued mattered to the youth because it was a question of redefining

Nagas’ political identity, their historical and political rights, and thus a question of Nagas’ pride as a nation.

This was the reason why young people, irrespective of their education level, continued to be motivated to find their way to NSCN camps and other political groups, it added.

Terming PRO’s statement as “misplaced” and that it went against the historical right and reality as testified in the past many years, NSCN (I-M) asserted that Naga people’s zeal to serve the political cause of Naga nation should not be “undermined and contaminated” in such a manner.

“The sanctity of the dearest Naga political issue will stand strong to inspire Naga youth, no matter how much effort is put in by Assam Rifles and Indian Army personnel to give a different colour,” a statement issued

by NSCN (I-M) added.

India’s economy in shambles under BJP govt: Cong Rio, Patton inspect Sanuorü bridge works Staff Reporter D I M A P U R , N OV 2 5 (NPN): Accusing the BJPled government at the Centre of selling India’s interest at every step and bartering country’s financial independence and economic stability, the grand old party Monday said that country’s economy lay in shambles today.

Addressing a press conference organised at Hotel Saramati here as part of party’s nationwide protest over unemployment, economic slowdown, agrarian distress and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) agreement, the All India Mahila Congress (AIMC) general secretary Bismita Gogoi said that job creation was in “coma” as economic and agriculture growth remained in the “ventilator.”

“Sinking economy, shrinking savings, shutting

down of businesses and spiralling bank frauds reflect the sad state of affairs of Indian economy under BJP government,” she said.

Even as the government deciding not to join the RCEP, Gogoi expressed apprehension that BJPled government could join RCEP and betray the country leading to the economic downfall of the country.

Calming that BJP government has turned India’s “demographic dividend” into a “demographic disaster”, AIMC general secretary pointed out that as per

National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) data unemployment was at a 45-year high and still climbing.

Also, citing Centre for Monitoring of Indian Economy (CMIE) data, she said that unemployment rate stood at 8.19% as in August 2019 highest ever.

Describing the state of education as “even more dismal”, Gogoi said that 74% of youth between the age of 18-23 years did not go to college. “Even worse, only 2.5% colleges in India run a Ph.D programme,” she said citing 8th Annual

All India Survey on Higher Education 2018-19, Ministry of HRD. She accused the BJP government of demolishing the educational edifice and employment avenues for the young in the country.

Holding BJP government responsible for “deep financial distress” in the Indian economy, AIMC general secretary said GDP growth was lowest in six years and new private investments have hit 16-year low.

Besides, she said that industrial growth has shrunk to 1.1% in August 2019, growth in capital goods was -21% (negative) since February 2013 and Bank’s NPAs were already Rs.800,000 crore. “To add to the financial woes, the Central government’s Gross Tax Reenue for 2019-20 are likely to see a shortfall of Rs.200,000 crore,” Gogoi said.

KOHIMA, NOV 25 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio and deputy chief minister Y Patton and others inspected the ongoing construction of the four-lane arch bridge over Sanuorü river on Monday morning.

Estimated to cost Rs 20 crore, money is, however, yet to be released to the contractors though the work order was issued 13 months back. Though Rio insisted that the subway should be opened for the citizens as there were many complaints, officials of the department concerned and the contractor refused as opening the subway would hamper the construction work.

But despite non-release of any money, contractors KC Angami and Vilelie Khamo assured the chief minister that by MarchApril 2020, the two-lane

road would be completed while the four-lane would be completed and handed over to the government before the 2020 Hornbill Festival.

Talking to Nagaland Post, the chief minister regretted that even after knowing the requirements for road maintenance, his government could not take up work due to non-availability of resources. On maintenance of the alternative Jotsoma bypass-Peducha road leading to the State Capital, he said the requirement was well-known, but the government was unable to maintain it due to lack of funds.

Pointing out that too many heavy trucks plied on the Peducha road, he said the government was working out modalities for imposing load limits on the road. Admitting that the Centre had declared many roads in the State as national highways and was providing

funds for new roads, he said the biggest challenge was getting funds for maintenance of roads. Rio claimed that the State government was working on headquarter roads, adding there were contractors capable of carrying out such works.

Meanwhile, contractors Angami and Khamo informed this correspondent that they started the work as they wanted to set an example to the people and fellow contractors as in many cases the contractors refused work or left it incomplete due to non-release of payment.

The duo claimed that they had spent over Rs 8 crore on the project in the last 13 months.

On the other hand, department officials said that Jotsoma bypass was included in the headquarter road maintenance project, adding that DPR had already been submitted to the ministry.

Tripura CM seeks fund to rehabilitate tribal refugees Agartala, Nov 25 (IANS): Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb has sought central fund to rehabilitate 35,000 tribal refugees as the migrants are averse to return to their homeland unless the central government announces permanent settlement and development package.

The Reang tribal refugees from Mizoram are sheltered in seven camps in northern Tripura for more than 22 years.

“Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb last week wrote a letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah to sanction funds to rehabilitate the refugees. On Sunday, Deb also met Shah and discussed the issue,” a top CM Secretariat official told IANS on Monday.

The Chief Minister told Shah that of the 5,400 families, comprising 35,000 refugees, 400-500 families could be settled in each sub-division of Tripura, the official said. The official didn’t disclose the amount the Chief Minister had sought.

With 8 districts and 23

sub-divisions, Tripura has four million populations, one third of which are tribals. The Home Ministry through the Tripura government has spent around Rs 900 crore to provide relief to the refugees during the past 22 years.

A Home Department official in Aizawl said, the Union Home Ministry recently sanctioned Rs 350 crore for rehabilitation of tribals in Mizoram, after completion of the repatriation process.

Former Tripura Congress chief Pradyot Bikram Manikya Deb Barman, who quit the party in September over the NRC (National Register of Citizens) issue, in a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged rehabilitation of refugees in Tripura.

Meanwhile, the refugee leaders in a letter to the Union Home Ministry has urged continuance of relief supply beyond November 30. Bruno Msha, General Secretary of the Mizoram Bru Displaced People’s Forum (MBDPF), in a letter to Special Secretary (internal security) A.P. Ma-

heshwari, said, “We have informed you several times that the refugees would not return to Mizoram unless a permanent rehabilitation and development package was announced.”

While talking to the media in Agartala, the refugee leaders said they were willing to return to their villages, but the Mizoram government was too rigid to resolve their basic issues, which caused failure of the repatriation process.

Msha said, “We want the Dampa Tiger Reserve Sanctuary in Mizoram be de-reserved to rehabilitate refugees there. Our second demand is a development package by the Union DoNER (Development of North Eastern Region) and Tribal Affairs Ministries for long-lasting and development of the backward Reang tribals.”

Over 35,000 Reang tribal refugees, including women and children, have been sheltered in relief camps since October 1997 after they fled their villages in western Mizoram in the wake of communal tension.

Ban on NDFB extended for 5 yrs GUWAHATI , NOV 25 (AGENCIES): The Centre has extended the ban on National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) by another five years, stating the Bodo militant group has been continuing violent activities like killing and extortion.

“NDFB has been indulging in illegal and violent activities, intending to undermine the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India in furtherance of its objective of achieving a separate Bodoland,” stated a ministry of home affairs (MHA) notification.

“Hence, the ban on the outlawed outfit is extended by 5 years,” the notification added. The MHA extended the ban under the provisions of sub-Section (1) of Section 3 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967.

The MHA further stated that NDFB has

been killing and destroying properties of non-Bodos in Bodo-dominated areas and has sabotaged Centre’s authority. “For the aforesaid reasons the Central government is of the opinion that the NDFB’s activities are detrimental to the sovereignty and integrity of India and that it is an unlawful association,” the notification added.

“Unless NDFB’s unlawful activities are kept under control, the organisation may regroup and rearm itself, indulge in violent activities and endanger the lives of innocent citizens and security forces personnel,” it added. “Therefore, circumstances do exist which render it necessary to declare the NDFB as an unlawful association with immediate effect”, it reiterated.

“The ban will last for five years,” MHA sources said.

Polluted Delhi even worse than Hell: SC

NEW DELHI, NOV 25 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Monday said that Delhi has become worse than “Narak” (hell) in the wake of deteriorating air quality, mounting garbage and unfit drinking water, and asked why should not the state administration be held accountable to compensate people.

A bench of Justice Arun Mishra and Justice Deepak Gupta queried from Chief Secretary Vijay Dev, present before the bench: “Are you serious about water and air pollution in Delhi... you have just 55 per cent capacity to handle waste, what about the remaining 45 per cent?”

As the Chief Secretary sought to explain that Delhi governance is an issue due to dual power centres, Justice Mishra retorted: “Do not blame others, and think you can get scot free. You are liable to compensate the people. How much money is coming to clean the Yamuna River, and where it is going... What is the status of water in Delhi. We are taking suo moto cognizance of people’’s right to get pure drinking water.”

The top court observed that life is not cheap in India anymore, and what was given in Bhopal gas tragedy

Representational image.

angry Justice Mishra said: “You are politicising the issue of pollution... why governments are not sitting together, instead of blaming each other... everything cannot be done under the noose of this court.”

The top court, hearing the response of Chief Secretaries of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi in connection with steps taken to curb air pollution, slammed top officials of the state administrations for showing lack of seriousness in responding to pollution matters which cause a direct threat to human life.

The judges said that

they were shocked to notice that measures to cut down pollution from stubble burning were nil and steps were only being taken to penalise the violators, despite specific court orders.

Pulling up the governments of Haryana and Punjab, the court said: “Why are people being forced to live in gas chambers? It is better to kill them all in one go...

Get explosives in 15 bags at one go.”

The apex court also directed the Central Pollution Control Board to file a report on the adverse impact of factories in and around Delhi on the environment.

Bill to amend SPG Act introduced in LS

Puri signs MoAs with 6 states on LHPs

NEW DELHI, NOV 25 (PTI): Family members of a former prime minister who don’t reside with him at his official residence will not be guarded by SPG commandos anymore and those who reside with him at his allotted accommodation will get security cover of the elite force only for five years.

As per the Special Protection Group (Amendment) Bill, which was introduced in the Lok Sabha on Monday, proximate security will be given by the force only to the prime minister and members of his immediate family if they live with him at his official residence.

This comes days after the government withdrew the SPG security cover provided to members of the Gandhi family -- Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her children Rahul and Priyanka.

While introducing the SPG (Amendment) Bill, 2019, Union Minister of State for Home G Kishan Reddy said in the existing act there is no cut off period for providing SPG protection to former prime ministers or members of their

is nothing compared to what is given to victims in similar cases worldwide. “What is the value of life you assess?

People are suffering from bronchial asthma, do you know how many cancer patients are in Delhi,” the court said, adding Delhi government’’s top administrative officer has no right to be on his chair.

“Can you monetise the reduction in life span?” the court asked.

Thus, the number of individuals to be provided SPG cover can potentially become quite large.

In such a scenario, there can be severe constraint on resources, training and related infrastructure of the SPG. This can also impact the effectiveness of the elite force in providing adequate cover to the principle protectee -- the prime minister in office, the bill says.

The proposed legislation says that therefore, it is considered essential to amend the act to focus on the core mandate, as the security of the prime minister, as head of the government, is of paramount importance for the government, governance and national security.

“It assumes special significance in the given geo-political context of the country, its hostile neighbourhood and the multilayered dimensions of threat the country is exposed to. In recognition of this critical security imperative for the prime minister in office, a special enactment was made to constitute the Special Pro-

tection Group with the sole objective of providing proximate security to the prime minister and the members of his immediate family,” the bill said.

The proposed bill says that the SPG shall provide proximate security to the prime minister and members of his immediate family residing with him at his official residence and to any former prime minister and members of his immediate family as are residing with him at the residence allotted to him, for a period of five years from the date he ceases to hold the office of prime minister.

The bill makes it clear that when the proximate security is withdrawn from a former prime minister, such proximate security shall also stand withdrawn from members of his or her immediate family.

The Special Protection Group Act, 1988 was enacted to provide for the constitution and regulation of the SPG as an armed force of the Union for providing proximate security to the prime minister and his immediate family members.

New Delhi, Nov 25 (IANS): Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri here on Monday signed memoranda of agreement (MoAs) for Light House Projects (LHPs) with Gujarat, Jharkhand, MP, Tamil Nadu, Tripura and UP government.

Puri also launched a web portal for CLSS (credit-linked subsidy scheme) Awas Portal (CLAP), saying it would help stakeholders to work in synergy for on-time release of subsidy to beneficiaries. To meet the demand for over 10 million houses by 2022, central government had launched the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban in June 2015, Puri said.

“To accomplish ‘housing for all’ mission, Global Housing Technology Challenge-India was launched to get globally acclaimed, alternate and proven construction technologies for speedier and cost-effective construction of affordable housing. The Prime Minister has declared 2019-20 as the ‘Construction Technology Year’,” he said.

‘RSS chief should head Ram Temple trust’ BHADOHI (UP), NOV 25 (PTI): The mahant of Tapaswiji ki Chhawani in Ayodhya Paramhansji Maharaj on Monday said RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat should head the trust to be set up for the construction of Ram temple.

“The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief should be made the ex-offico head of the trust so that he automatically takes that post. Sangh Parivar should be given the responsibility of Ram temple’s construction,” the mahant told reporters at Sita Samahit sthal here.

The Supreme Court in a historic verdict on November 9 had backed the construction of a Ram temple by a trust at the disputed site in Ayodhya, and ruled that an alternative five-acre plot must be found for a mosque in the Hindu holy town.

“Be it the issue of “rashtra nirman” (nation building) or temple construction, what the RSS has done from village level to the cities, no one else can do,” he said, adding that the prime minister, the home minister and the defence minister, all have their origins in the Sangh.

NEW DELHI, NOV 25 (PTI): Surgeons have removed a kidney weighing 7.4 kg, claimed to be the world’s largest, from a 56year-old man, authorities at a city hospital where the procedure was performed said on Monday.

The kidney, removed after a two-hour-long surgery performed recently, had occupied almost the entire abdomen of the patient, Dr Sachin Kathuria, Urology consultant at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital said.

“To put things into perspective, the kidney weighed more than two human newborn babies combined,” he said.

A normal kidney weighs about 120-150 grams. The dimensions of the removed kidney are 32 x 21.8 cm and this happens to be the largest kidney removed till date globally, hospital authorities claimed.

“Although the pre-operative scans showed a huge kidney, we did not expect that it would be the heaviest,” Dr Kathuria said.

and beyond with a focus on boosting IAF’s operational capability in short and long term. “I praise the IAF for its professionalism and laud all air warriors and their families for giving us a most competent and combat worthy force. The IAF has proven itself time and again. It has earned respect of foreign air forces who are eager to cooperate as well as exercise with us,” Singh stated.

“We are strengthening our defence capability through increased domestic production and reduced dependence on import of military hardware. We have to seize new opportunities for indigenous design and development and I appreciate the IAF’s effort in this regard,” he said.

MUMBAI, NOV 25 (PTI): Mumbai Police Commissioner Sanjay Barve has said the city police is fully equipped to handle situations like the 26/11 terror attack, with personnel trained to combat urban terrorism making it the “strongest force in the country”.

The city’s streets and other land assets are being secured by highly trained personnel, including commandos, as well as sophisticated weaponry and armoured combat vehicles like Marksman, Barve told PTI on the eve of the 11th anniversary of the ghastly terror attack.

He also lauded citizens for their concerted efforts to be the “eyes and ears” of the police force.

In one of the deadliest terror attacks in the country’s history, 166 people were killed and over 300 injured when 10 heavilyarmed terrorists from Pakistan created mayhem in Mumbai on November 26, 2008. “We have trained our men and Quick Response Teams (QRT) to handle urban terrorism to ensure the city never faces such a threat in future,” Barve said.

“Learning lessons from the past, Mumbai Police

is now the strongest force of the country in terms of training, use of modernised technology and highly sophisticated equipment,” Barve said. He said people have understood that terrorism is the country’s enemy and there is a feeling that everyone has to get together to fight the menace.

“People are playing the role of eyes and ears of law enforcement agencies, due to which we are getting information about suspicious persons and activities. This is a significant attitudinal change among people,” the official said.

He said coordination between multiple agencies tasked with keeping the

metropolis secure has increased.

Citing an example, Barve said the coastal wing of Mumbai Police was in tandem with the Coast Guard to thwart terror attacks through the sea route.

More than 5,000 CCTVs installed across the city helped the police monitor every situation, he said, adding that the number of CCTVs is expected to increase to 5,600 in the next few months. The Mumbai Police deploys it drone unit whenever there is a need for aerial surveillance, and an anti-drone system allows it to thwart any attack from such UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), he said.

the world’s largest kidney till now which was removed by doctors at a hospital in 2017 from a patient suffering from Polycystic Kidney Disease.

Doctors from Sir Gang Ram Hospital are planning to apply to the Guinness World Records in connection with this particular surgery.

The patient, a resident of Delhi, was suffering from

a genetic disorder called Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease, a condition in which fluidfilled cysts develop in both kidneys causing them to swell up and leading to renal failure.

The man started having intolerable pain in his left flank associated with fever and breathing difficulty.

“We investigated and found that he had inter-

nal bleeding and infection within the cysts of his left kidney. It was at this point that we decided to take him up for surgery,” Dr Kathuria said.

The decision to remove the kidney was taken as he did not respond to intravenous antibiotics and the shear mass was good enough to offer him such a procedure, he explained.

The patient has recovered well and has been discharged. He is presently on dialysis and awaiting renal transplant, the doctor said.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an inherited genetic systemic disease occurring in 1:700 to 1:1,000 individuals. It is a common inherited disorder with 12.5 million cases worldwide.

Nagaland Post Vol. XXIX NO. 351 Dimapur, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2019

Another gubernatorial controversy

T

here have been not less than 18 times since 1952 where the actions of various state governors have been found to be legally untenable, controversial and also totally unconstitutional with regard to dealing with state political crisis. In more than half of these, there were not less than nine instances since 2005 when decisions of governors were unconstitutional. In the latest drama in Maharashtra, the state governor did not find it acceptable to extend time to the Shiv Sena (the second single largest party) which he had invited to form the government after the BJP declined. The governor and RSS veteran Bhagat Singh Koshyari then imposed president’s rule on November 13 after inviting the NCP (the third singles largest party) to form the government. Till then the Shiv Sena claim to form the government with a post-poll alliance with NCP and Congress was legally valid as the troika had more than the requisite majority in the house of 288. On November 22,just as when the NCP, Shiv Sena and Congress were declared that Uddhav Thackeray is the consensus chief ministerial candidate and that the three parties, after finalising their common minimum programme were going to approach the governor to form the government; the governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari acted in a partisan manner when he did not take any due diligence to ascertain facts. Instead, Koshyari simply took the signed letters of the NCP legislators who only agreed to elect Ajit Pawar as the party legislature leader. Koshyari revoked president’s rule at the most unlikeliest and bizarre hour at 5.40 a.m. on November 23 without any notification being issued the previous night. Then to add another bizarre twist, the governor hastily swore-in Devandra Fadnavis as chief minister and NCP rebel leader Ajit Pawar as deputy chief minister hardly two hours later on the same day.India woke up to this startling event even as the NCP leader Sharad Pawar and his party were shell shocked at having been betrayed by no less than Ajit Pawar, the party number two and nephew of Sharad Pawar. The midnight coup enacted inside the Raj Bhavan was all too clear. How was governor Koshyari convinced that the BJP and breakaway faction of NCP led by rebel leader Ajit Pawar, had the numbers? This arises since the majority of NCP legislators returned back to Sharad Pawar’s fold to reduce the rebel came to well less than 10. That number along with other independents (though not all support the BJP) does not reach anywhere the required 145 simple majority. The opposition then approached the Supreme Court for an urgent hearing on Saturday night but it could take place only on Sunday morning. Whatever the case, the role of the governor in the entire sordid plot was indeed a blot on the constitution. The Supreme Court needs to take up this matter seriously so that the hijack of democratic norms is prevented. Governors are not custodians of political parties but of the constitution.

There has been far too many such controversies in the recent past also and they create an unwanted aberration on the principles of fair and just parliamentary democracy. A party in power may benefit out of such controversies but one day the same party could be a victim and so in the interest of all, the role of governors should be crystal clear so that machinations are prevented.

DailyDevotion The Secret of Spiritual Consistency God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ… —Galatians 6:14 When a person is newly born again, he seems inconsistent due to his unrelated emotions and the state of the external things or circumstances in his life. The apostle Paul had a strong and steady underlying consistency in his life. Consequently, he could let his external life change without internal distress because he was rooted and grounded in God. Most of us are not consistent spiritually because we are more concerned about being consistent externally.

In the external expression of things, Paul lived in the basement, while his critics lived on the upper level.

And these two levels do not begin to touch each other. But Paul’s consistency was down deep in the fundamentals. The great basis of his consistency was the agony of God in the redemption of the world, namely, the Cross of Christ.

State your beliefs to yourself again. Get back to the foundation of the Cross of Christ, doing away with any belief not based on it. In secular history the Cross is an infinitesimally small thing, but from the biblical perspective it is of more importance than all the empires of the world. If we get away from dwelling on the tragedy of God on the Cross in our preaching, our preaching produces nothing. It will not transmit the energy of God to man; it may be interesting, but it will have no power. However, when we preach the Cross, the energy of God is released. “…it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.…we preach Christ crucified…” (1 Corinthians 1:21, 23).

Quotes

Time flies over us, but leaves its shadow behind. ~ Nathaniel Hawthorne

A

few months ago a Veganfest was held in Delhi. It was attended by hundreds of young, affluent, well read and enthusiastic people. The speakers were from all over the world.

But each one represented a company that was making vegan products : mock meat, cosmetics etc. There were no philosophers, no one to define what veganism could and should be.

It was a consumer event.

That is what worries me about the rapidly spreading vegan movement. It is simply about buying “something else”.

It was meant to be transformative, something that would make the world a gentler, happier place, save animals and reduce suffering. Instead it is yet another fashion statement.

Let us look at the impact of veganism on the food industry. If 5% of the US and Britain are vegans then meat consumption should have dropped by that amount. Instead it has increased by 10%.

In fact, the meat industry has embraced veganism as another way to make a quick buck. All meat chains have added a few vegan items to their menus.

No restaurant has lost any customers due to veganism (which they should have), they have added new ones. Vegans go to Mc Donald’s and order a vegan burger – which helps keep Mac

Donald’s profits rolling so that they can kill more animals and make more meat burgers.

Look at the economics. Greggs is a meat sausage roll company. They started a vegan sausage roll and their profits went up by 58%. But if customers were simply switching from the meat to the plant-based sausage roll, profits would have stayed the same. Has their meat production dropped? Not by one roll.

Papa John’s, the meat and dairy pizza chain, has also seen a boost from its vegan “sheese” range which it launched on the same day as its hotdog version. “Our vegan customers like to share on social media how happy they are that we are catering for them.”

Every supermarket has opened a vegan section. But it is nothing compared to their meat, cheese and dairy sections.

Ice cream giants have non dairy ice cream – but they also sell dairy ice cream. Burger King now has a vegan burger. Has this changed the people eating meat burgers ?

No. Burger King customers continue to buy beef burgers. But now vegans and vegetarians come through the doors too. They have simply widened their customer base, not changed habits or spending choices.

The vegan movement, that should be doing all it can to put animal killers

Nagaland Post, Dimapur TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2019

Veganism is a movement, not just a fad! out of business, is now handing over its money to them. Do Burger King, Mac Donald’s and KFC have a special fund into which they put vegan money in order to rescue animals, or clean up the planet? No, the core business of these corporations is animal slaughter for food. By financially supporting them, all vegans do is fund their ability to continue their environmentally damaging meals.

If a burger chain offers one vegan option, you are not ‘flexing your vegan muscles’ by giving them your money.

You are falling into their capitalist trap. Likewise, giving money to leather boot companies that also have boots made of polyurethane plastic in every colour. The company that sells both has now doubled its sales in leather.

Vegans seem to believe that we can simply spend our way to animal liberation and saving the planet.

All you have to do is descend on supermarkets and restaurant chains, stuff your trolleys and

stomachs with vegan products and suddenly the world will become a better place for all species. But you don’t end exploitation by handing your money to exploiters.

All you do is bankroll further exploitation. Vegans are not here to make the shopping aisles bigger, but to end exploitation. You cannot spend your way to paradise.

This emphasis on buying different versions of the same products, from the same companies, has led to masses of clever advertising jugglery by companies. All the things that were always vegan, now have a vegan label on them : vegan beer, vegan sofas, even a vegan massage. Something that was called a soya protein shake is now a vegan protein shake. More restaurants, more clothes, more brands of cosmetics.

Basically, it is just “greenwashing”.

For instance, Body Shop is where rich vegans buy their cosmetics from.

But Body Shop is owned

by L’Oreal, one of the largest testers of animals in the cosmetic world.

Body Shop is simply their outlet to capture the vegan consumer. Dairy-free icecream from Ben & Jerry’s may sound good, but it is owned by Unilever, the villains of vivisection.

That vegans are being taken for a ride, on the “vegan consumer train”, is obvious. Last year Daiya, the maker of vegan cheeses, sold their company to a Japanese pharmaceutical company that tortures animals for “research.”

So many companies have built their business on veganism and then sold out to larger non-vegan conglomerates.

Companies don’t care about the rights of animals, they care about the wallets of their owners.

Corporations view the earth, nonhumans and humans, as capital to profit from and exploit.

Vegfests should not be simply about food, community and entertainment. Veganism is not a trendy lifestyle, or something that you can show off with to other people at social events.

Today, vegan magazines are just about food recipes and advertisers: clothing, travel, cosmetics.

Not a single magazine or even blog, undertakes to grapple with the real issues of veganism – education, government policies, critical thinking, speciesist language (you pig/dog/swine !) capitalism, non human rights, the animal industrial complex. Should our Indian

exports be solely based on meat/eggs and milk ?

Veganism is now the 21st century version of California’s Haight –Ashbury hippie cult. Handled in an irresponsible style, and quickly seen as a drug fuelled protest, this serious anti war movement of the 60s was short lived.

Veganism now is seen as a temporary fad adopted by youthful, rebellious, teenagers in search of “self expression”. Like all fads it, unfortunately, belongs to a teenage world and will be outgrown in adulthood.

Going vegan is one tool which can be used to undermine the huge impact commercial animal agriculture has on our planet’s health, climate and biodiversity. But the simple eating of vegan food alone isn’t necessarily going to undermine these practices. What we eat, how it is produced, and the amount we consume, all are questions that need to be answered as we transform food production.

These questions are not answered when our dietary choices boil down to choosing the latest cool vegan option.

Vegans needs to be wary about how the switch to plant-based diets can be easily incorporated into existing unsustainable food systems, making it not the lifestyle of ecological warriors but simply another mainstream consumer choice.

Post-mortem Are there some misconceptions & over-hype about CAB in North East?

A

s we are all aware, CAB had rocked the North East during the last few years, particularly during the last Lok Sabha election held in the early part of 2019. In spite of stiff and widespread opposition against CAB in the NE region, the ruling BJP had unabashedly included re-introduction and passing of CAB in their election manifesto; and they had been returned to the Lok Sabha with an even larger majority than before. Even in the recently held State Assembly elections in the N E region (well after the CAB 2016 was introduced in Parliament), the BJP did better than in any previous election, capturing power in Assam, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur. (The first three states are supposed to be most adversely affected by CAB in descending order. Arunachal have around 60 to 70 thousands Chakma Buddhist refugees who are yet to be granted Indian citizenship).

Now that the BJP Govt at the Centre have included CAB in the agenda of the coming winter session of Parliament, it appears we are going to witness another round of protests and turmoil in the NE region.

In my humble opinion, the NE region is a bit over-reacting to CAB; and this is largely due to some misconceptions about the intent and possible consequences of CAB. Some of the misconceptions appear to be – (a) that if CAB is passed, it will usher in an ‘open-door policy’ for illegal immigrants to enter India, particularly in the NE; and that this will drastically alter the demographic profile of the NE region; and (b) that in the NE there are already large number of illegal immigrants (belonging to the religious minorities named in the CAB, viz Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists, Parsis and Jains) who can benefit from this CAB. Both the above presumptions, in my opinion, may not be true.

As regards (a) above, we all know that CAB will benefit only the above named religious minority immigrants coming from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh, who had entered India without valid documents prior to 31st December, 2014. It will in no way throw open Indian borders for these identified minority communities to come

to India as they please. Nor will it provide additional incentive to these communities to try to enter India illegally, because the CAB will benefit only those who had already entered India prior to 31st December, 2014.

As regards (b), it is also likely that there would not be too many illegal immigrants in India now who can become Indian citizen through CAB. As per reports appearing in local newspapers, the Hon’ble Lok Sabha MP of Nagaland was quoted as having said in January this year that only around 31,313 illegal immigrants in Assam are likely to be able to benefit from this CAB, (viz., 25,447 Hindus, 5807 Sikhs, 55 Christians and 2 each of Buddhists and Parsis). Whether this estimate is reliable or not is a different issue; I am just quoting it as per newspaper reports.

However, this makes us think that after all, it may not be a deluge many of us might have imagined. Even if the figure were in the region of one lakh (and not 31,313 as quoted) in Assam’s population of around 35 million, this will be only like a drop in an ocean, say, around 0.28 per cent. So, this by itself is not likely to alter the demographic pattern of Assam or other N E states.

Assam does have a very large immigrant population.

The recent exercise of National Register of Citizens in Assam reveals that there are now around 19 lakh immigrants in Assam whose Indian citizenship are yet to be proved. But obviously, most of them are Muslim immigrants from Bangladesh, who will not be able to benefit from CAB. As we are already aware, this NCR exercise may result in more immigrants (who cannot prove their Indian citizenship) trying to enter Nagaland through the porous Assam-Nagaland border.

So, we would all agree that there is need for better vigilance and stricter implementation of ILP. But this is quite a different issue from CAB. If we are to stretch the argument further, we may say that the more of the existing immigrants in Assam are granted Indian citizenship through CAB, the less will be the immigrant pressure on Nagaland.

Even otherwise, since Na-

galand does not appear to have any official record of illegal immigrants (of the above nonMuslim religious communities) who are currently staying in Nagaland (especially those have migrated illegally to India/Nagaland prior to 31st December, 2014), there is no likelihood of any illegal immigrant in Nagaland qualifying for grant of Indian citizenship through CAB. If there is any illegal immigrant now in Nagaland, who wants to apply for Indian citizenship under CAB, all his claims in the application form, such as his being one of the specified religious minorities in his country of origin, his illegal entry into India prior to 31st December, 2014 etc shall have to be verified and certified by the Government of Nagaland.

In this scenario, there would not be much possibilities and likelihood of any illegal immigrant in Nagaland acquiring Indian citizenship through CAB. At the all India level also, it is likely that there may not be too many people who can benefit from CAB. If that is so, then why the BJP is so keen to push through this bill? I think it is more of a policy statement to their core constituents (the Hindus in India), as part of what we now know as ‘the Hindutva policy’, rather than a demographic oriented policy, or an attempt to bring more Hindus to India. In my view, this CAB is not likely to change significantly the demographic profile of India, or of the North East; especially in view of the cut-off date of 31st December, 2014.

The more vital issue is the successive Governments’ failure (including our collective failure also) to guard our Indian borders from illegal immigrants, particularly from Bangladesh.

I think this is the real issue, on which we need to agitate more, and do more; on which we need to apply our energy and our mind more seriously.

It may also be stated here that although we (the State Govt and the local people) may not be officially in charge of guarding India’s international borders (in the NE region, this task is being entrusted to BSF, ITBP and Assam Rifles) our involvement and eternal vigilance is very important. I think it is

through this that Nagas (not the Assam Rifles) have been able to prevent illegal migration from the Myanmar side. But we have been ineffective in preventing entry of outsiders (legal or illegal immigrants) from our western State borders, in spite of being armed with one of the most stringent regulations in the present day world (viz ILP). I will not dwell into the reasons, because I think we all know it by now.

There are also people amongst us who criticize CAB from the moral high ground, saying that India being a secular country, citizenship act should not make distinction on the lines of religion. This may sound good, but in reality, no country applies this principle, including the most enlightened Western Christian countries.

In the first place, let us remind ourselves that the distinction is not amongst Indian citizens, but amongst illegal foreign immigrants in India, whose circumstances in their country of origin are also quite different.

We know that in the matter of grant of VISA and citizenship, most countries apply different yardsticks for people of different religions and countries.

Here they are making distinction amongst foreigners seeking entry into their countries,

or seeking citizenship; and not amongst their own citizens. If this is found to be an acceptable procedure all over the world, then why blame India for making distinction between Muslim immigrants and Hindu immigrants etc in the matter of granting citizenship. Let us also remember that Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh treat even their very own citizens very differently on the basis of their religion. And our own Christian brothers are amongst those who are persecuted and treated differently as compared to the majority Muslims. So, it may not be very appropriate to bring moral issues into this CAB debate.

The intention of my writing this piece is not to support the CAB, but to bring in another view point, or the neglected points, so as to initiate a healthy and meaningful debate on the issue, rather than shouting from the rooftops and organizing bands etc which will only inconvenience our own people. I hope it will be received with a positive attitude and open mind by all sections. Let us try to have a wider and more rational debate on this issue, so that we may be able to make more appropriate responses to this CAB. Lalthara, IAS (Rtd), former Chief Secretary, Nagaland

Reader’s Post

People in social media today Sir,

Taking advantage on the accessibility and importance of social media, thousands of unemployed young minds of today spends most of their time in social media hungry for information updates. With the availability of internet access in every nook and corner of the state, social media has been occupying a pivotal place in the life of every user young and old. Introspecting the social media groups and posts coupled with “Ism”, it is seen that some person with high stature and calibre are involved and being opinionated using abusive and treacherous expressions which could mislead many young minds.

Having the liberty to express one’s own opinion, it has led many social media tigers to poke their noses in every issue with or without facts, which have seen more one sided opinion than decent and neutral opinion.

It may be mention that most of those manning the social media posts and comments 24/7 are unemployed and lazy people who only bark from their comfort zone. Let’s optimise social media to make a positive impact.

Cong, allies driven by lust for power: PM

DALTONGANJ, NOV 25 (PTI): Mounting a blistering attack on the Congress-JMM-RJD alliance in Jharkhand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi alleged on Monday their “self-seeking” past governments were driven by the “lust for power” and exploited the mineralrich state’s resources while neglecting its people.

He also accused the previous Congress governments at the Centre of procrastinating resolution of the Kashmir tangle and the vexed Ayodhya dispute.

“This election is a contest between those who serve and those who loot. The Congress has problems, we have the solutions. They have accusations, we have the report of the work we have done. They have empty promises, we have the proof of development,” Modi told a poll rally in Daltonganj, his first ahead of the state assembly elections.

The prime minister asserted the BJP was committed to the five principles of social justice--stability, good governance, prosperity, respect for all and security.

Naxalism flourished under the non-BJP governments due to political instability, he said.

“Governments were made through the back door.

There were alliances of selfseekers who were driven by the lust for power (satta

bhog) and exploited the resources of the state.

“They had their eyes on the riches found beneath the surface of the earth and cared little for those living on the earth. How would it then have been possible to give electricity, roads and water to people? Set up industries?” he said.

Modi said it was for the first time since the creation of Jharkhand in the year 2000 that the BJP government led by Raghubar Das had completed its full term.

The Das government, he said, worked day and night to end corruption and set up institutional mechanisms for greater transparency in governance. He said the BJP government worked hard to end naxalism and crime.

Raising the issue of forest rights of tribals, the

prime minister asserted,” The BJP is committed to protecting your right to ‘Jal, Jungle, Jameen’ (water, forest and land).

He said a district mineral fund has been set up by the Centre to ensure that the benefits from resources mined in tribal areas reach the people there. Jharkhand has received Rs 5,000 crore from that fund, the prime minister said, adding steps were being taken to fasttrack settlement of forest rights claims.

Urging people to vote the BJP to power for a second successive term, the prime minister said the ‘double-engine’ growth of Jharkhand became possible because the party was in power both at the Centre and in the state.

“We sent funds and brought pressure on the pre-

vious BJP governments in Uttar Pradesh for speeding up construction of houses for the poor but to no avail.

But since the advent of the Yogi Adityanath government, UP is at the top in building dwellings for the poor,” he said.

Elaborating on the benefits of ‘double-engine’ growth, the prime minister said apart of the gas connection given to poor families under the ‘Ujjwala Yojana’ by the Centre, the Jharkhand government had provided second gas cylinders to 33 lakh households in the state.

Under the ‘Kisan Samman Nidhi’ scheme, the Jharkhand gover nment has given an additional Rs 25,000 to the targeted beneficiaries apart from the funds made available by the Centre, the prime minister said.

“The benefits of double-engine growth are many.

There is continuity of development....no political games are played,” he said.

The prime minister said states like West Bengal, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, where BJP’s rivals were in power, were not being able to reap the fruits of central government schemes because of impediments created by the state governments.

The prime minister also raked up the hugely

divisive issues of repeal of special status granted to the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir, and the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute.

“The Congress follows the policy of procrastination so that it can keep collecting votes. The party kept the issue of article 370 pending.

We had promised a resolution and we fulfilled it.

“The Ram Janmabhoomi dispute in Ayodhya had lingered for decades.

The Congress could have resolved it, if it so wanted, but it chose to hurt the society, the country to protect its vote bank. See, today the dispute stands resolved,” he said. The prime minister reaffirmed his commitment to the principle of ‘Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat’, asserting unity was in the larger interest of the country.

He also recalled how the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government had created Jharkhand and set up a ministry to exclusively handle the welfare of tribals.

“For 50 years, there was no ministry of tribal affairs to look after the interest of adivasis. There was an OBC commission but it lacked constitutional status.

We ensured that constitutional status was bestowed on the Commission,” Modi said, as he sought to reach out to the vast tribal electorate of Jharkhand.

Meet deliberates on inland waterway project KOHIMA, NOV 25: A meeting of stakeholders for development of LongmatraAvankhu stretch of Tizu and Zungki Rivers (National Waterways—101) to facilitate inland water transportation in Nagaland was held in the conference hall of chief secretary at Kohima Monday.

The meeting, presided over by lone Rajya Sabha MP from Nagaland, KG Kenye, who is also the chairperson of the Nagaland Inland Waterway Board, was attended by Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI), Nagaland Inland Waterways Board (NIWB), WAPCOS Ltd and all the stakeholders (land owners).

Giving a PowerPoint Presentation regarding the current status of the project along the NW—101, also referred to as Tizu-Zungki Inland waterway project, the consultant of the project WAPCOS Ltd (a Government of India undertaking) highlighted the challenges ahead.

The consultant said the main obstacle in the implementation of the inland waterways project was the proposed Dam of LTHP to be taken up by the power department, which could obstruct the path of the waterways.

However, it was resolved that Waterway proj-

ect would go ahead. The commissioner & secretary (Power) KD Vizo agreed to stand with the earlier NIWB’s decision of moving back the proposed hydro plant at Longmatra by splitting it into two plants upstream, wherein Tizu will have a 25MW plant and 25MW plant for the Zungki river.

On the concerns over conditions of the roads highlighted by the team, the engineer in-chief of NPWD assured to take necessary actions.

State chief secretary & co-opted chairperson NIWB, Temjen Toy, also shared his concerns for the Ecological consequences.

However, IWAI officials assured that no harm will be done to it.

The additional secretary and development commissioner, Sentiyanger, highlighted the prospects of tourism and highly appreciated the team for their visit and initiative.

OSD planning and coordination, Thomas Thailu, gave a brief report on the history of the project and its progress.

Khare, the National Level Technical Expert, presented the Centre’s active support for the NW—101 as a part of the Look and Act East Policy, which would be pursued earnestly.

Kenye, highlighted the larger picture of Economic boom through trade and commerce for the State as well as the whole of North East region as the gateways to South East Asian Countries will be opened up. He requested all stakeholders to extend their unflinching support towards the success of the project and not miss the opportunity.

Minister V Kashiho Sangtam requested the IWAI officials as well as NIWB to take up the project with all sincerity for the development of the region.

The minister also assured to extend full support and cooperation.

The main stakeholders and leaders from Kiphire and Phek districts included Joshua Sangtam representing Kiphire and Phor village chief representing the Phek District. They warmly welcomed the team and assured to extend all possible help for the success of the project.

IWAI officials along with WAPCOS Ltd. team would be touring the project sites -- Longmatra on November 26 and Laluri/ Avangkhu/Wazeho on November 27. All responsible authorities and locals have been requested to extend all possible help to the team to have a successful survey of the project sites.

“It has to be seen whether the board can refuse to take the five-acre land for the construction of a mosque as ruled by the Supreme Court. Will it amount to contempt of court? The board has started taking legal opinion on this point,” he had said.

Farooqui said there were divergent views within the eight-member board on the matter and the number of those suggesting that the plot should be used for some “constructive work” to give a message to the world is “very low”. The Sunni board was a main litigant in the Ayodhya case.

Earlier, the All India Muslim Personal law Board (AIMPLB) said a review petition will be filed against the judgment. It is also against accepting an alternative site to replace the mosque that was demolished in Ayodhya in 1992.

Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) president K Therie, who also addressed the press conference, said that BJP members were “unconscious members” because they “blindly’ follow what their leader PM Modi says.

With regard to Nagaland’s economy, Therie said that “Nagaland has been talking about politics, but never about economy”. He said that it was time that the state government talk about economy. Therie also pointed out that “There has been no investment in the state for the last 15-20 years and BJP has been protecting the corrupt leaders.”

LU C K N OW N OV 2 5 (PTI): The Sunni Central Waqf Board will meet here on Tuesday to discuss the Supreme Court’s Ayodhya verdict, amid reports that its members are divided on whether to file a review petition against the judgment.

The meeting is also expected to discuss whether to accept a plot of land that the judgment said must be given to Muslims to build a mosque, Waqf Board chairman Zufar Farooqui said Monday. After the fivejudge bench delivered its historic verdict on the Ranjanmabhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute, Farooqui had come out against filing a review petition. But some board members went public against the stand.

“The members can discuss the issue during the November 26 meeting. I have been authorised to take a decision on behalf of the board but if any member has an objection to it, he can raise it in the meeting scheduled on November 26 here,” Farooqui had said.

In a unanimous verdict, the Supreme Court had paved the way for the construction of a Ram Temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya. It also directed the Centre to allot a five-acre plot to the Sunni Waqf Board for building a mosque.

The agency said RBI’s close involvement in the process indicates the NBFC sector’s importance to overall financial stability, including the direct effect of any systemically important NBFC’s failure on banks and other credit providers.

“We expect the RBI to selectively approach the IBC to resolve NBFCs with severe liquidity or solvency issues, or to resolve companies whose weak corporate governance is deterring potential buyers,” it said.

It also expects banks and the RBI to utilize other debt restructuring options before approaching the IBC.

Globally, 5G will cover up to 65 per cent of the world’s population by the end of 2025 and handle 45 per cent of global mobile data traffic, said the report.

Leading communications service providers in Asia, Australia, Europe, Middle East, and North America switched on their 5G networks in 2019.

South Korea has already seen a big 5G uptake since its April 2019 launch.

More than three million subscriptions were collectively recorded by the country’s service providers by the end of September 2019.

China’s launch of 5G in late October has also led to an update of the estimated 5G subscriptions for year-end 2019, from 10 million to 13 million.

“It is encouraging to see that 5G now has broad support from almost all device makers. In 2020, 5Gcompatible devices will enter the volume market, which will scale up 5G adoption,” said Fredrik Jejdling, Executive Vice President and Head of Networks, Ericsson.

New Delhi, Nov 25 (IANS): Total mobile data traffic is expected to triple in India, reaching 22 exabytes (EB) per month, driven by high growth in the number of smartphone users and an increase in average usage per smartphone, according to an Ericsson report on Monday.

One EB is equivalent to one billion gigabytes (GB).

In India, the average monthly mobile data usage per smartphone has seen an extraordinary increase in recent years, becoming the highest in the world, according to the latest Ericsson Mobility Report.

“Low prices for mobile broadband services, affordable smartphones and people’s changing video viewing habits have continued to drive monthly usage growth in the region,” Nitin Bansal, Ericsson’s Head of Network Solutions for the market area Southeast Asia, Oceania and India, said in a statement.

Mumbai, Nov 25 (PTI): The rupee on Monday settled 3 paise lower at 71.74 per US dollar in line with weaker key global currencies against the greenback, despite a strong rally in financial markets on renewed hopes of trade truce between Washington and Beijing.

After opening on a positive note, the Indian unit traded flat for a better part of the session before slipping into a negative territory. It finally settled at 71.74, registering a loss of 3 paise over its previous close.

The Indian currency overlooked a host of encouraging factors including positive new on the US-China trade deal front, Indian government’s disinvestment steps to curb fiscal deficit and robust foreign fund inflows.

Experts said the rupee weakened mainly tracking strengthening of US dollar against the key global currencies.

US Defence Secretary fires Navy chief over SEAL’s case

WASHINGTON, NOV 25 (PTI): In a rare move, US Defence Secretary Mark Esper has fired Navy chief Richard Spencer over his handling of a Navy SEAL’s case that has pitted military leaders against President Donald Trump.

The case is related to Edward Gallagher, who was convicted for posing with a corpse in Iraq in 2017. For that Gallagher was demoted, but President Trump later reinstated his rank.

Tu m p i n t e r ve n e d in his case and issued a pardon on November 15.

Trump has drawn criticism from parts of the military after pardoning army officers convicted of war crimes.

Esper on Sunday said he lost confidence in Spencer after finding out the navy chief had tried to end the dispute behind his back.

“I am deeply troubled by this conduct shown by a senior DOD (Department of Defence) official,” Esper said in a statement.

“Unfortunately, as a result I have determined that (Navy) Secretar y Spencer no longer has my confidence to continue in his position. I wish Richard well,” he said.

According to Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman, the Defence Secretary asked for the resignation of Spencer after losing trust and confidence in him regarding his lack of candour over conversations with the White House involving Gallagher.

Esper and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley spoke with President Donald Trump on Friday about Gallagher’s case.

Gallagher was acquitted in his court martial of war crimes charges that included shooting civilians, murdering a captured ISIS fighter. He was convicted

of the lesser charge of posing with the corpse.

During the conversation, Esper learned that Spencer had previously and privately proposed to the White House - contrary to Spencer’s public position to restore Gallagher’s rank and allow him to retire with his Trident pin, the special warfare insignia.

Trump supported the decision of his Defence Secretary.

“I was not pleased with the way that Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher’s trial was handled by the Navy. He was treated very badly but, despite this, was completely exonerated on all major charges. I then restored Eddie’s rank,” he said in a tweet.

“Likewise, large cost overruns from past administration’s contracting procedures were not addressed to my satisfaction. Therefore, Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer’s services have been terminated by Secretary of Defence Mark Esper,” Trump tweeted.

“I thank Richard for his service and commitment. Eddie will retire peacefully with all of the honors that he has earned, including his Trident Pin,” he said.

Tr ump announced that he will nominate US Ambassador to Norway Kenneth Braithwaite to replace Spencer.

“Admiral and now Ambassador to Norway Ken Braithwaite will be nominated by me to be the new Secretary of the Navy.

A man of great achievement and success, I know Ken will do an outstanding job!” Trump said.

According to CNN, Spencer was proposing a review with a secret guarantee that Gallagher would be allowed to keep his status as a Navy SEAL. In his resignation letter to President Trump, Spencer wrote: “The rule of law is what sets us apart from our adversaries. Good order and discipline is what has enabled our victory against foreign tyranny time and again.”

“Unfortunately it has become apparent that in this respect, I no longer share the same understanding with the Commander in Chief who appointed me, in regards to the key principle of good order and discipline,” he said.

“I cannot in good conscience obey an order that I believe violates the sacred oath I took,” he added.

SL Prez deploys armed forces to maintain order COLOMBO, NOV 25 (IANS): Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has issued a special gazette notice calling on the armed forces to maintain public order across the country, for the safety of the general public, media reports said on Monday.

The gazette notice was issued over the weekend and calls upon the army, navy and the airforce to be deployed in all 25 districts including Sri Lanka’s capital Colombo.

Sri Lanka’s new Defence Secretary Kamal Gunaratne told local journalists that the special gazette notice was issued to maintain law and order and not meant to carry out a military administration.

Any political violence which arises following the conclusion of the recently held presidential election will not be tolerated and all those involved will be arrested by the armed forces, the Defence Secretary said.

Newly-elected President Rajapaksa last week vowed to strengthen national security and establish a secure country where everyone “can live without any fear”, especially after the Easter Sunday suicide attacks on April 21 which killed over 250 people.

GOMA (DR CONGO), NOV 25 (AFP): At least 29 people were killed when a small plane crashed after takeoff into a densely populated area of the city of Goma in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.

A survivor among the 19 people -- 17 passengers and two crew members -who were aboard the plane was taken to hospital along with 16 others injured on the ground, the North Kivu regional government said.

“At this stage, 29 bodies have been found in the rubble,” the statement said.

The Busy Bee Dornier-228 smashed into two houses near the airport, the deputy transport minister Jacques Yuma Kipuya said earlier.

The first images from the scene showed smoke billowing above the neighbourhood and the aircraft in flames with local people throwing buckets of water on it.

A video seen by AFP showed the cabin of the plane still smouldering embedded in the wall of the house.

The aircraft had been headed for the city of Beni, 350 kilometres (220 miles) north of Goma, when it went down after takeoff in the residential area.

Busy Bee airline staff member Heritier Said Mamadou had earlier confirmed that 19 were on board the flight scheduled from Goma around 9:00 am (0700 GMT).

Busy Bee, a recently established company, has three planes serving routes in the North Kivu province.

The pilot “failed in his takeoff,” Nord Kivu governor Carly Nzanzu Kasivita said in a statement.

One of the airline’s maintenance workers at the site, quoted by news site actualite.cd, blamed a

S

outh Korean singer and actress Goo Hara has been found dead at her home here, police say.

The 28-year-old is best known as a former member of the K-Pop group Kara, which she joined in 2008.

She had also appeared on television and released music by herself, reports bbc. com.

Police say the cause of death is still under investigation. She appeared at a series of comeback performances last week after being hospitalised in May following an alleged suicide attempt.

The singer later apologised for causing “concerns and a commotion” among her fans over the incident.

Reports said her manager had, at the time, found her unconscious.

Hara was found dead about 18:00 local time (09:00 GMT) on Sunday in her home, the Gangnam Police Department was quoted

by Yonhap news agency

as saying. Her last post on Instagram, shared with her 1.5m followers on Saturday, was a photograph of herself in bed with the caption: “Good night”.

Kara, her former band, were one of the first K-Pop groups to break through on the international stage.

Hara’s first solo EP, released in 2015, peaked at number four in the Korean music charts.

She had signed with a talent management agency in Japan earlier this year and released a song named Midnight Queen earlier this month. Over the last year her career was overshadowed by events in her life off the stage. In September 2018

Hara filed a lawsuit against a former boyfriend after he threatened to damage her career by exposing an illicit video of her.

Her former partner was given a suspended jail term in August for physically assaulting and blackmailing the star. Hara’s death comes just over a month since another former K-Pop girl band member, Sulli, was also found dead in a suspected suicide after struggling with online bullying.

The two celebrities were close friends and after Sulli’s death, Hara described their relationship as being “like sisters”.

Fans have been taking to social media to express their shock at news of Hara’s death and many have shared photographs of the late friends together.

South Korea has one of the highest suicide rates in the world, according to World Health Organisation data.

Romanian band Borsa to perform at HMF Robbie Williams approached Eddie Hearn for boxing match with Liam Gallagher

R

B

orsa Band from Romania will be performing at the forthcoming Hornbill Music Festival 2019 as part of the Hornbill Festival of Nagaland.

Task Force for Music & Arts (TaFMA) informed that Borsa band will be performing at the main arena Kisama on December 4 at 4:30 p.m. and at Kohima Night Bazaar on December 5 evening.

TaFMA advisor, Theja Meru disclosed that Borsa band’s visit to Nagaland was being made possible by Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR).

Meru acknowledged Akhilesh Mishra, director general ICCR for his enthusiastic and all support to make this happen. Borsa Band plays folk music from Moldva. Moldva is a region in Romania populated by many nations. A Hungarian speaking population called Csango have lived here since the middle ages.

Moldva is the cultural border between Central Europe

and the Balkan. The tunes of Moldva simultaneously reflect the ethnical diversity.

The Moldvaian dances also rooted in the renaissance and been danced in circles, lines and pairs. In Hungary, the “Dance house-movement” unfolded in the seventies, the folklore treasure collected by the folk musicand folkdance-researchers has been revived. The dance houses - where the dances and tunes of the Hungarian populated lands were played - have been visited by more and more people.

Visiting the contemporary native musicians and collect the old records allowed them present day to know and live our traditions in the most authentic way.

As Ferenc Sebo folklore musician said: “The tradition mustn’t be cured, because it isn’t ill, mustn’t be guarded, because it isn’t a prisoner. Our traditions could be remained only if we live them.”

This idea has found many followers and at the

present day - besides the other Hungarian music dialects - the Moldvaian dance and music is popular in the whole country.

The Borsa Band was founded by a group of friends in 2011. A violin, flutes, koboz (an East European type of luth) and singing these are the instruments of their music. On the original recordings, their setup is not typical, because mostly only one tune-instrument played together with the backup-instrument.

Last year, beside its monthly dance houses, the band performed on several stages for example the national Ars Sacra music festival in Budapest. In 2019, they have been to Poland several times to hold workshops in cultural events.

Borsa band consists; musicians-Noémi Réfi –violin, Katica Manninger – singing, Péter Tóth- flutes and Olivér Tóth – koboz.

Dancers: Flóra Csente, Gabriella Erdei, Márk Bence Dunai and Gergo Porvai.

o b b i e Wi l l i a m s has said he’s approached leading boxing promoter Eddie Hearn to organise a fight with his long-term rival Liam Gallagher.

The singer has a rivalry with Gallagher which dates back to the midnineties, at the height of Oasis‘ fame.

In October, the ‘Angels’ singer said he’d like to duke it out with Gallagher to settle their differences once and for all. And now it seems he’s gone one step further by contacting the Matchroom Sport boss to make his dream a reality.

“I’ve spoken to Eddie Hearn… Eddie Hearn’s up for it,” Williams revealed during an appearance on ITV’s The Jonathan Ross Show.

But it still looks an unlikely prospect, with Williams admitting that Gal-

lagher “hasn’t responded, twice. And I’d really like to do it.”

He added: “I’ve been boxing and I love it and if there’s anybody that I want to box, it’s Liam Gallagher.”

Eddie Hearn has been approached to organise and promote a potential scrap Robbie first laid down the gauntlet at the Brit Awards in 2000 when he collected the Best Video gong for ‘She’s The One’.

He said at the time: “Would anybody like to see me fight Liam? Liam: £100,000 of your money, £100,000 of mine… we’ll get in the ring and have a fight. Now are you gonna do it or pussy out, you

fucking wimp?”

Speaking about a potential fight with Liam, Williams also said he’d like to set up a professional one.

“I’d love it. But I’d want it to be a professional fight. I’ve seen how much [YouTubers] KSI and Logan Paul made from theirs and I think we could trounce that,” he said.

“But, yeah, I think last time in the noughties Liam wanted to go down to an abandoned railway track or something. I don’t want to do that.

“It’s got to be fucking whistles and bells if it happens…Yeah, Liam and I would be a wonderful thing.”

Meanwhile, Robbie released ‘The Christmas Present‘ last week – his first ever festive album.

apper Aaron Carter is again waging war with his family after he was slapped with restraining order on the request of his brother Nick Carter and sister Angel Conrad. Over the weekend, the 31-year-old took to Instagram to claim that his family and Sony Records conspire to kill him, and to describe an unsuccessful attempt to harm him, reports aceshowbiz.com. “What’s up guys? Just enjoying this beautiful mountain range,” he said in a now-deleted video.

The former teen singer cryptically said that he had to go into hiding after someone swatted him.

“Going to a different location. I just got swatted ... and it didn’t work,” he said.

The act of swatting involves making a prank call to law enforcement claiming the reported person carries threat that results in the reported person being ambushed by SWAT.Aaron K Y M C

said that someone was “trying to claim that I’m paranoid, or schizophrenic.

And the cops were very honest with me.”

“They knew that I had 500 grams of weed,” he shared, before boasting, “And I still have it in my bag.”

He continued, “They did all of the tests. They checked me for all of the drugs that everyone says that I do.” Taunting his re-

ported enemies for the unsuccessful attempt, Aaron said: “Clearly, I’m driving my car right now. And it didn’t work.” Warning that the person who allegedly tried to set him up “is gonna be in big, big trouble,” he added, “Having friends call me, threaten my, trying to kill my wife, all this crazy s**t ... it ain’t gonna work.” “ I ’ m n o t p l ay i n g your game. You’re playing

mine,” he concluded the video, before returning with another post. In another video which has been deleted too, Aaron greeted his followers again: “Hey everybody out there. This is Aaron Carter.” He used the opportunity to ask for fans’ help financially. “I want to verify that this is actually my GoFundMe page,” he announced.

Through the crowdfunding page, Aaron tried to raise $100,000 “so I can move to an undisclosed location where I am safe.”

He explained his financial trouble, “My realtor won’t sell my house. They’re all involved in this. And they’re trying to keep me there.”

He said that he’s been targeted by his family “from being a silence-breaker, for my brother, who is a rapist, and now they’re after my life.” He went on accusing, “My whole family is after my life. They’re setting me up.”

In the summer, Mbappe admitted that he would be open to a “new project” and was considering his future at the Parc des Princes.

“In a few years, he will certainly be the best player in the world,” Hazard told Le Parisien.

“This title, there are a lot of players who fight for it, but if he continues like this, Kylian (Mbappe) will be one of the greatest footballers in the history of the world.

Office of the

LOTHA PUBLIC ORGANIZATION Wokha - 797111 : Nagaland

LOTHA PUBLIC ORGANIZATION CLARIFIES TO LOTHA HOHO NOTICE Apropos to the Press release “LOTHA HOHO ISSUES NOTICE TO DISBAND SELF-STYLED ORGANISATION” Dated on 21st November 2019 in Nagaland Post. The Lotha Public Organization strongly reminded the present unapproved and un-mandated LH team that, in no way the LPO can be disbanded just like that till such time the present LH team relinquish office and conduct fresh selection as per the LH Guidelines. The LPO reiterates that the selection of the present LH team of office bearers were not as per the existing guidelines and that it was stage managed by some vested interest individuals which has led to untold misunderstanding amongst the Lotha community. The LPO also reminds the present LH team to stop misleading the innocent public at once and ask them to come clean themselves and conduct fresh selection based on the LH guidelines if they are so concerned about the division of Lotha community because it is the manipulative and biased attitudes of the present LH team that such a deep misunderstanding within the community has been created. The present LH team of office bearers should know that the emergence of LPO was to fight for a just cause of the Lotha community because the Lothas cannot be taken at ransom any longer by few vested interests individuals. Therefore, the LPO maintained that no amount of force, warning or intimidation to its office bearers will deter the fight for justice for all the Lothas in general. It is to clearly made known to the Lotha community once again that the LPO is not in tussle with LH for power or authority but the sole objective is to set the record right for posterity and that if the present LH team is concerned about peace and unity in the society, they should not be so arrogant and adamant but should gracefully pave way for proper formation of the Lotha Tribal Apex body and to represent the Lotha community with one and strong voice in any given situations.

From the constitutional point of view, it will be a big mistake and mockery on the part of the current LH team for their short-sightedness and lack of detail knowledge about the very existence of Indian constitution. LPO stressed that, in a democratic country like India there are certain provisions and rights guarantees to its citizen based on strong fundamental rights and principles.

Reviewing the central Govt. Act 1949 article 19 (I) (c) in the constitution of India, it clearly enshrined and states that, any citizen has a right to form ASSOCIATIONS OR UNIONS. Therefore, LPO is curious to know (I) what authority does the present LH team empowered to banned the formation of its Organization?

(II) Is it LH can exercise its power above and beyond the Indian constitutional set up?

(III) Is it LH above the law to stop any citizens to form Associations or Unions?

LPO stressed that, the idea of forming LH action committee by LH to confront the office bearer of LPO is very unbecoming and unfortunate as it will only escalate more violence and misunderstanding other than accomplishing their diabolical mission.

With regard to the memorandum submitted by LPO to the Hon’ble Governor dated on 17-09-2019 to derecognized, obviate and exclude the Lotha tribe from the solution campaign for the Nagas of Nagaland, The LPO had submitted its Memorandum to the Governor as the LH representatives who attended the meeting on 18th Oct. 2019 represented the meeting with their own individual vested interest and not as general Lotha Public interest.

LPO puts on record that, LH representatives attented the meeting without the consent of the general Lotha public on 18th Oct. 2019 and pressed upon the Governor of Nagaland RN Ravi to sign the agreement without further delay. LPO stressed that, only after attending the meeting i.e between 14 tribes and Govt. of India on 18th Oct. 2019 the general Lotha public meeting was called with the primary agenda on “ How to go about with Naga Political solution” only on 30th Oct. 2019 to fool the innocent Lotha public. LPO is shocked as to how the general Lotha public meeting was called on 30th Oct. 2019 when the representatives had attended and participated the meeting on 18th Oct. 2019. LPO stated that, the Lotha general meeting should have convened before the LH representatives attend the meeting convened between 14 tribes and Govt. of India. LPO urged upon the public and Lotha intellectuals to wake up from the deep slumber of complacency and carefully analysis the double standard policies of LH team so as to know the actual contention of LH set up.

Regarding this very issue LPO wants to know from the LH representatives who attended the meeting on Oct. 18th 2019.

(I) Did the LH representatives who attended the meeting take the confidence building with the general Lotha public?

(II) Did the LH representatives convene a general public meeting before they attended the meeting?

(III) Who has endorsed them to speak on behalf of general Lothas to decide the future of the Lothas without convening general public meeting and without the consent or consensus to speak on behalf of Lothas?

LPO clarifies to LH team that, LPO is not a self-styled organization as it was formed by the displasured villages mandated on 13th July 2019 at Bhandari town hall. LPO asked the current LH team to ask themselves who is self style, unapproved LH team or Lotha Public Organisation?

Further, the Lotha Public Organisation clarifies to the present LH team and the general Lotha Public that, the Lotha Public Organisation submitted to the Governor RN Ravi to de-recognize, obviate and exclude the Lotha tribe from the solution campaign for the Nagas of Nagaland and clarifies to the general public that, in no way LPO has urged the Governor not to include the Lothas in the Solution. LPO asserted that, the sentence was completely misinterpreted and misinformed to the innocent Lotha public just to gain public support and sympathy.

With regard to the LH press statement: The Lotha Hoho will take its own course of action and Mr. Sulanthung Humtsoe and Mr. Zaremo Kikon will be solely responsible. The Lotha public organization clarifies that, it will strictly monitor and check as per the resolution passed in the meeting dated on 5th Nov. 2019 at Bhandari town which the resolution reads as, if any untoward incidents occurs or arises to any of the office bearers and its members, the house will leave no stone unturned to retaliate back and its organization will not be held responsible for any eventualities.

M t M au n g an u i , Nov 25 (IANS): Prolific performances from BJ Watling, Mitchell Santner and Neil Wagner helped New Zealand clinch a thumping victory against England in the first Test of the twomatch series on Monday.

Resuming their second innings at 55/3, none of the England batters could stay long at the crease as they got bowled out 197 in the final session of Day Five at the Bay Oval and suffered a crushing defeat by an innings and 65 runs.

Left-arm pacer Wagner, who had taken three wickets in the first innings, was the tormentor in chief in England’s second essay as he picked up a fifer, giving away 44 runs in his 19.3 overs.

Joe Denly (35), Rory Burns (31) and Jofra Archer (30) were the only England batters who could stay for a while at the crease but their efforts couldn’t avoid the defeat.

Archer, along with Sam Curran (29), did delay the win for the Black Caps. However, it was too much a task for the lowerorder batters as the hosts took a 1-0 lead in the twomatch series. Santner also took three wickets in the second innings. Earlier, New Zealand had posted a mammoth 615/9 declared

in their first innings, riding on the double century from Watling and ton from Santner in reply to England’s 353. Watling, in fact, became the first New Zealand wicketkeeper to score a double hundred in Test cricket.

The two teams will now face in the second and final Test beginning Friday at the Seddon Park in Hamilton. The two-Test series is not a part of the ICC World Test Championship and thus results will have no bearing on the points table.

that he had died.

That was assumed to be the end of Bautista Agut’s tournament but he supported from the stands during Saturday’s dramatic semi-final victory over Great Britain and was brought back into the action for the opening rubber of the final.

Canada had used only two players in making it to their first-ever final, with Shapovalov and Vasek Pospisil performing heroics in singles and doubles.

However, Pospisil was virtually running on empty against Russia in the semifinals while their number two, 19-year-old AugerAliassime, was fully recovered from an ankle injury that had kept him sidelined for two months.

It was an intimidating stage for the teenager to make his return, especially given this was only his second Davis Cup tie.

He matched Bautista Agut in the opening set until the tie-break, where the 31-year-old, who had

M A D R I D, N o v 2 5 (Agencies): Rafael Nadal sealed Spain’s first Davis Cup title since 2011 on home soil in Madrid but it was Roberto Bautista Agut who stole the show with an emotional victory just three days after the death of his father.

The world No 9 thrust his finger skywards after beating Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime 7-6 (3) 6-3 and was in tears before addressing the crowd, who stood as one to cheer him.

That set the stage for Nadal, who had won all seven of his previous rubbers this week across singles and doubles, to ensure it was Spain who became the first winners of the revamped event, beating Denis Shapovalov 6-3 7-6 (7).

ISL: Chennaiyin FC register first win

Players of Chennaiyin FC and Hyderabad FC fight for the ball during their match.

C h e nna i , N ov 2 5 (Agencies): Chennaiyin ended their wait for their first goal and three points of the season following a dramatic 2-1 win against Hyderabad in their fifth match at the Marina Arena on Monday.

The hosts, who wasted chances and struggled to end their scoring drought for ninety minutes, opened the scoring in the 92nd minute through Andre Schembri.

Hyderabad hit back immediately with a Mathew Kilgallon header in the fifth minute of added time. Chennaiyin did not give up hope and Nerijus Valskis scored the match-winner a minute

later to conclude the drama in their favour.

Chennaiyin were dominant from the word go, kicking things off in a must-win game on a positive note. Rafael Crivellaro, Thoi Singh and Lallinzuala Chhangte were at the heart of most chances but poor finishing let them down.

The first big chance of the first half arrived in the 16th minute when the Italian midfielder played Chhangte through on goal but the youngster's shot was saved by Kamaljit Singh at the cost of a corner.

Chhangte was again guilty of missing an easy chance after he was unable

to head home Thoi's inchperfect cross from the right side. He then had plenty of opportunities to turn provider but a combination of poor cut-backs and the inability of his team-mates to get into the right positions meant that the score-line was undisturbed.

At the other end, Hyderabad were unable to encroach Chennaiyin's box.

But when they did, Robin Singh produced the biggest miss of the game when he sent Marko Stankovic's through-ball onto the sidenetting.

The second half was not short of chances for the home side either. Within 15

minutes of play, Crivellaro had an incredible go at goal saved by a diving Kamaljit and Eli Sabia’s shot from distance scraped the woodwork.

But they had to wait until the second minute of added time to score their first goal of the season.

Mohammed Yasir was unable to deal with Thapa’s floating delivery into the box and Schembri wrestled him to win the ball. The Lithuanian striker then managed to create just enough room for himself to slot on into the near-post.

However, Chennaiyin’s joy was short-lived, with Kilgallon restoring parity in less than two minutes. The defender soared above everyone else to head Abhishek Halder’s delivery from the corner into the far-post.

Another twist in the tale saw Valskis register himself among the goal-scorers after he exchanged a quick one-two with Schembri before slotting it past Kamaljit in what was the last kick of the game.

John Gregory’s men earned their first win of the season to leapfrog above Hyderabad in the ISL table.

Srikanth pulls out of PBL

New Delhi, Nov 25 (PTI): Ace Indian shuttler Kidambi Srikanth on Monday pulled out of the upcoming Premier Badminton League (PBL) to focus on international events ahead of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

The 26-year-old from Guntur, who had guided Bangalore Raptors to their maiden title win in the last PBL, will not feature in the fifth edition scheduled to be held from January 20 to February 9.

“It’s a tough road ahead. Need to go full throttle and fulfill the expectations that lie on me. Hence, I won’t be playing PBL this year to focus more on International events. Wish @ blr_raptors all the very best and hope for a smashing season this year as well,” Srikanth wrote on his twitter handle.

Srikanth is currently enduring a winless streak since claiming four titles in 2017. He had reached the finals of India Open earlier this year. He has been battling form and fitness issues and has slipped to world no 11. He made it to the semifinals of Hong Kong Open earlier this month.

London Games bronzemedallist Saina Nehwal had withdrawn from the PBL on Sunday to prepare herself for the next international season.

L o nd o n , N o v 2 5 (Agencies): Oli McBurnie’s 90th-minute equaliser arrested a second-half Sheffield United capitulation as they salvaged a point in thrilling 3-3 draw with Manchester United at Bramall Lane.

Substitute McBurnie’s effort was allowed to stand after a VAR review found no evidence of handball, sparking delirious scenes as the Blades rescued themselves from the jaws of defeat.

Sheffield United looked set to pile more away-day misery on the visitors when goals in either half from John Fleck and Lys Mousset left the Blades 18 minutes away from claiming another huge Premier League scalp.

But Brandon Williams’ first Manchester United goal sparked a late collapse from the hosts that saw substitute Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford score in the space of seven minutes.

However, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side within touching distance of completing a stunning turnaround, along came

Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford fight for the ball against Sheffield United players during their EPL match.

another twist as McBurnie’s shot squirmed past David de Gea, leaving both sides to settle with a point.

The Blades were made to wait for the breakthrough and had it not been for De Gea they would have hit the front on 11 minutes, the Spaniard producing a stunning double save to thwart John Lundstram’s volley before he got a hand to David McGoldrick’s header.

But it was only a mat-

ter of time before Sheffield United took a deserved lead, and there was nothing De Gea could do this time. Mousset shrugged Phil Jones off the ball far to easily, crossed for Lundstram whose first-time shot was saved by De Gea but crucially parried into the path of Fleck, who bundled the Blades into the lead.

It took Manchester United 29 minutes to test goalkeeper Simon Moore on

his Premier League debut as Anthony Martial mustered the visitors’ first and only shot on target before the break, but the Blades stopper coped with ease. With Sheffield United unbeaten since January 2014 in the 89 games in which they have led at half-time, Manchester United’s hopes of staging a comeback were slim - and those hopes looked to have been were extinguished on 52 minutes.

Andreas Pereira gave the ball away cheaply in midfield and the Blades pounced as Fleck’s disguised pass inside released Mousset through on goal where unleashed a brilliantly precise shot into the bottom corner past the outstretched arm of De Gea. That looked to have settled the contest in Sheffield United’s favour, but a remarkable seven minutes swung a game that had never been under Manchester United’s control in the visitors’ favour.

First, Williams lashed a volley into the bottom corner after a clearance fell to him in the box. On came Greenwood and within four minutes Manchester United were level as he poked Rashford’s cross home before Rashford got on the end of Daniel James cross to complete the comeback.

But just as it seemed Manchester had escaped with all three points, Sheffield roared back as McBurnie latched onto Callum Robinson’s cross, and not even VAR could deny the Blades a deserved point.

Lakshya wins Scottish Open

Lakshya Sen

Gl a s g ow, N ov 2 5 (PTI): Fast-rising Indian shuttler Lakshya Sen claimed his fourth title in three months, bagging the Scottish Open title with a thrilling win over Brazil’s Ygor Coelho in the men’s singles summit clash here.

The top-seeded Indian overcame his Brazilian opponent 18-21, 21-18, 21-19 in a 56-minute final on Sunday night.

Coelho, however, reeled off six straight points to move to

a 14-10 lead.

The Indian kept breathing down his opponent’s neck but Coelho ensured he had the bragging rights after the opening game.

Stung by the reversal, Lakshya came out firing in the second round and jumped to a 7-0 lead in the second game. The Brazilian slowly clawed back at 17-17 but Lakshya managed to bounce back into the contest.

The decider turned out to be an evenly-fought contest and both the shuttlers battled hard to gain the lead.

Coelho enjoyed an 11-8 advantage at the break but a gritty Lakshya kept drawing parity and eventually had the last laugh. PTI Lakshya will now play at the Syed Modi International Super 300 tournament at Lucknow starting Tuesday.
