KO H I M A , N OV 2 6 (NPN): Union Home minister Rajnath Singh will inaugurate the 19th edition of Hornbill Festival on December 1, coinciding with the Nagaland Statehood Day, at Naga Heritage Village, Kisama.

Informing this on the sidelines of the launching of Tourist police here, chief minister Neiphiu Rio said many diplomats and officials of various embassies including Senate from Australia will be attending the event.

Though many personalities have expressed their desire to visit the state festival, Rio however lamented limited accommodations-hotels and home stays to host them.

Meanwhile, adviser H. Khehovi Yepthomi also informed media persons that Union Home minister Rajnath Singh will be the chief guest with US Ambassador to India Kenneth I Juster as guest of honour.

Nagaland governor PB Acharya will be the chief host while Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio will be the host for the event.

and behaviour and remaining humble at all times.

Rio lauded Tourism and Police department for coming forward to render public service through the joint venture. He also reminded that in the past, Nagas were head hunters, their area disturbed and insurgency-ravaged and so had a problematic image.

However, he said Nagaland today was growing out of that negative perception and known for many other good things besides being the land of festival and peace.

He said Nagas were

privileged lot but reminded that these also came along with responsibilities. Rio called upon the Tourist Police never to fail any visitor so that the earlier negative image of the State could be changed.

He also suggested that trained TP personnel should be deployed at mini hornbill festivals so that they could train the local police and in turn lead to more awareness among the police about becoming tourist-friendly to make visitors feel safe while visiting the State.

The chief minister also said tourist could visit in

groups and go for trekking to different locations that may not necessarily be designated as tourist spots but TP should deal with them in a friendly manner.

On the mission to make Nagaland plastic free, Rio said the government would try to actively discourage use of plastic from December 1 but also admitted that it might not be successful overnight.

Mentioning that foreign embassies in India issued travel advisories to their domestic tourists after studying the situation of a particular area, the chief minister remarked that for long even people from mainland India did not feel safe to come to Nagaland due to the unresolved Naga political issue and imposition of AFSPA. He reiterated his government’s commitment to facilitate resolving the vexed issue.

Rio spoke about Nagas being different and unique and for which the Government of India recognised their unique history and granted special provisions under Article 371 (A) of the Indian constitution. He said

NPF slams Patton for alleged threat on CS D I M A P U R , N OV 2 6 (NPN): NPF has jumped in the fray over a report in social media which alleged that deputy chief minister (DY. CM) Y Patton, who is also in charge of home department, had threatened chief secretary R Benchilo Thong over the issue of acceding to request from Addl. DG Police Rupin Sharma to be attached with Nagaland house New Delhi.

NPF through its Press Bureau, expressed shocked at the manner in which Patton allegedly threatened the chief secretary .

NPF recalled that , Sharma, who was removed as DGP couple of months back, was trying to go on deputation again with initial posting to Nagaland House, New Delhi so as to enable him to also pursue deputation and also medical check up and that the file was under process .

NPF alleged that the home commissioner had moved the file for granting of medical leave to Sharma whenhe( Sharma) had not applied for any such leave.

Due to the controversy, the matter was brought to the notice of chief minister Neiphiu Rio, said NPF. NPF said Rio agreed to Sharma’s request to be deputed and attached to Nagaland house and after which CMO issued directive to the home commissioner to put up the file for Rio. What followed next was shocking said NPF as sources disclosed that , the Deputy CM threatened to “finish off Thong” after he (Patton) returned from Mizoram.

Patton had led a state BJP delegation of legislators to Mizoram to campaign for the forthcoming Assembly elections.

NPF asked people as

to how far would they bear such unruly behaviour of their political leaders and how safe would other public servants be at the hands of “these brutes” when a top bureaucrat himself was openly threatened like this?.

NPF assumed that the chief secretary had become sandwiched between the chief minister and Deputy CM due to their “clash of interest and not for welfare of the State”.

Expressing amusement over Rio’s silence over the matter, NPF asked the chief minster to issue a clarification so that no official suffered like this.

NPF further alleged that the PDA government was marred by one controversy after another that depicted insecurity deep within. It asked the PDA government not to disgrace law of the land and enforce it.

it was the duty of the Nagas to preserve their culture, tradition, history, food habits and identity.

He also thanked the government of India for recognising Nagaland as the best State in maintaining law & order.

He also said Nagaland was declared as the land of festivals because of the popularity these festivals had gained across the globe and assured to continue encouraging holding of tribal festivals.

On the occasion, Rio released the Tourist Police Handbook and launched Nagaland Police FIR Mobile App. Rio also flagged off the tourist police vehicle and inaugurated the integrated control room.

Addressing the gathering, deputy chief minister Y Patton acknowledged the Tourism department for helping Nagaland join a few other States in the country to have a separate TP force.

He said creation of a specialised TP force would not only help in protection of tourists, but also enhance the appeal of Nagaland as a favoured tourist destination.

PM Modi interfering with court Attack on Kharshiing: Cabinet Mysterious slaughter of proceedings is dangerous: Yechury approves independent probe livestock reported in Manipur

Agartala, Nov 26 (IANS): After weakening the Election Commission, CBI, CVC and other Constitutional bodies, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is now interfering with court proceedings which is extremely dangerous, CPI-M leader Sitaram Yechury said on Monday.

“The Prime Minister alleged that the Supreme Court is under pressure, that Opposition parties are interfering with the court proceedings. By saying this, the Prime Minister himself and the government are interfering with the court proceedings. This is a very dangerous trend,” Yechury told reporters here.

He said: “The Prime Minister, during his election campaign, has threatened to subvert the legal process on the Ayodhya dispute. Out of frustration, Modi is making such undemocratic and unconstitutional comments.

“No one should make any comment on issues

Sitaram Yechury (File)

that are before the court.

The Ayodhya dispute is a very sensitive issue. How can a Prime Minister make coments on an issue which is before the Supreme Court?”

Yechury, who came here on Sunday and attended a two-day Tripura state conference of the Communist Party of India-Marxist, said the Modi government had truncated Parliament proceedings and was brazenly undermining the judiciary, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Central Vigilance Commission (CVC), the RBI and other

Constitutional and autonomous bodies.

He claimed that the public mood in the five poll-bound states - Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Telanganna, Chhattisgarh and Mizoram - was against the BJP and the Modi government.

“Modi and his party are now seeking votes, giving priority to Hindutva and communal polarisation.

They failed to implement every single promise they had made before the 2014 Lok Sabha election,” the CPI-M leader said.

He said that a ‘mahagathbandhan’ (grand alliance) will take shape just before the 2019 general election, like in 1977.

“Ahead of the next Parliament session in the second week of December, anti-BJP parties will hold meetings in Delhi to explore the strategies about the ‘mahagathbandhan’ in the upcoming general election,” Yechury said.

Shillong, Nov 26: The Meghalaya Cabinet on Monday decided to institute an independent inquiry into the murder attempt frontline women’s rights activist, Agnes Kharshiing and her aide, Amita Sangma.

The decision is significant ahead of the one-day special assembly session where the opposition Congress is set to corner the Conrad Sangma-led government over the murder attempt on the two activists over illegal mining and transportation of coal.

Kharshiing, who is also the president of Civil Society Women’s Organisation, and Amita were brutally assaulted by a group of people after the activist lodged a complaint on illegal mining and transportation of coal in the state on November 8 at Tuber Sohshrieh area in East Jaintia Hills district The National Green Tribunal had ordered an interim ban on “rat-hole” coal mining in Meghalaya from

Campaigning ends in Mizoram Aizawl, Nov 26 (PTI): Campaigning for elections to the 40-member Mizoram Assembly ended at 4 pm on Monday, setting the stage for polling on Wednesday when 7,70,395 people are expected to cast their votes in this North Eastern state.

The election machinery is fully prepared to conduct free and fair polls, the state’s Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Ashish Kundra said. Speaking to reporters here, Kundra said he was “perfectly satisfied” with the arrangements.

Mizoram is the last bastion of the Congress in the North East. The Congress has been in power in the state since 2008 and is eyeing a third consecutive term.

In 2013 assembly elections, the Congress won 34 seats, while the Mizo National Front (MNF) had five and Mizoram People’s Conference bagged one seat.

The Cong ress and the main Opposition, the MNF, have fielded 40 candidates each, while the BJP is contesting in 39 seats. The Zoram Peoples Movement (ZPM), an alliance formed by two political parties and four groups, is contesting in 35 seats. The Mizoram

Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) said that public meetings and door-to-door canvassing were organised in villages under the close supervision of the Mizoram Peoples Forum (MPF), the church-sponsored election watchdog.

Unlike in the past, this time the MNF skipped the common platform where contesting candidates share a stage. The display of flags of political parties and posters were minimised under the supervision of the flying squads and the MPF. Election campaign offices have been opened in all the villages and more than one campaign office have been set up in larger villages and towns. Supporters of contestants were seen visiting relatives in other villages to garner support.

Campaigning has come of age in the state with the use of social media platforms like Facebook and Whatsapp. Campaigning via TV and radio was done as previous years, however this time social media was used extensively to woo younger voters. On the major poll issues, the ruling Congress was seen banking on its flagship New Land Use Policy

(NLUP) , which brought the party to power for two consecutive terms.

The campaign reached its peak in the final week with the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP president Amit Shah and Congress president Rahul Gandhi.

Except Gandhi, who addressed a rally in the state capital, the other high profile leaders did not address election rally in Aizawl city. While Modi visited Aizawl on Friday to meet BJP candidates from the district and leaders of the civil societies, he addressed a rally in southern Mizoram’s Lunglei town.Shah addressed rallies in southern Mizoram’s Lawngtlai town and northernmost Vairengte town. Gandhi addressed public rallies at Champhai located on the border with Myanmar, besides Aizawl city. The prominent leaders who campaigned in the state included Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, DoNER Minister Jitendra Singh, National People’s Party (NPP) leader and Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma.

The Election Commission has decided to hold

polling for Bru refugees in Mizoram’s Mamit district, even as the leaders of the tribal community maintained that they fear for their safety in their home state.

The place of voting for 11,232 Brus, who are residing in neighbouring Tripura, has been a bone of contention, leading to the replacement of the then chief electoral officer, S B Shashank, less than two weeks before the election.

Shashank had been accused of facilitating voting by Bru voters in the relief camps of Tripura.

The Congress has floated a new policy called New Economic Development Program (NEDP) as a convergence with the NLUP under which around Rs 1 lakh each was disbursed to each beneficiary family.

The opposition MNF has promised assistance to the tune of Rs 3 lakh to each family under the SocioEconomic Development Policy (SEDP), closure of liquor shops and imposition of prohibition as wished by the powerful church.

The BJP in Mizoram is riding on the development works of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

April 17, 2014, after the All Dimasa Students’ Union and the “We are concerned over the prevailing situation. Therefore, we have decided to institute an independent inquiry,” Home Minister James Sangma told journalists.

He said the terms of reference of the inquiry including the person who will head the inquiry and duration to complete the probe would be worked by the political department and law department “As a responsible opposition party, we will raise illegal mining and transportation of coal in the state and the breakdown of the law and order, which led to the murderous attacks on the two women activists,” Congress Spokesperson Himalaya Muktan Shangpliang said.

Earlier, the assembly panel on empowerment of women headed by Ampareen Lyngdoh on Monday called for an independent probe into the attack on Kharshiing and Amita.

The eviscerated carcasses of the ducks. (NP) Correspondent

IMPHAL, NOV 26: Amid apprehension of mysterious killings of livestock in Churachandpur district of Manipur, a mass slaughter of ducks was reported at Kitana Panung under Irilbung police station on Monday morning.

Over 40 ducks were found slaughtered in a farm at Kitana Panung under Irilbung police station. A total of 75 ducks were in the farm and 35 were found alive hiding.

The mysterious mass slaughter of ducks was

detected when the owner of the farm entered the farm for routine feeding, reports said.

Internal organs of all the slaughtered ducks were found missing. The owner, Ratan, said that bite marks were visible on all the dead ducks.

The owner suspected that the ducks were slaughter by some big animal while claiming that footprints of a big animal were found in the farm.

Each footprint measured around three inches, he added.

A similar manner inci-

dent had occurred in Churachandpur district, and no trace of duck blood was found where the incident happened.

The mysterious mass slaughter of ducks in the valley district comes at a time when an uneasy calm had fallen for about a month following domestic animals found killed or partly torn without any trace of the killers or predators in some localities of the district.

The mysterious slaughters of livestock, including domesticated animals like dogs and cats, reportedly began from Chiengkawnpang locality where ducks and chicken were found dead with their internal organs missing.

The mysterious slaughter spread to other nearby localities, and consequently Churachandpur district administration constituted a special surveillance team to look into the mysterious incidents.

However, even after a month, the special surveillance team was yet to come up with an explaination regarding these mysterious deaths.

Shillong, Nov 26: Meghalaya Governor Tathagata Roy landed himself in a massive controversy on Monday tweeting that the Pakistan-sponsored 26/11 Mumbai terror attack was a slaughter of innocents except Muslims.

“I was misinformed of the Paki-sponsored killers of 26/11 having spared Muslims. In fact several Muslims were killed. It was a mistake of facts and I am sorry for the same.

26/11 martyrs remembered on 10th anniv

Mumbai/New York, Nov 26 (PTI/IANS): The mood at the wreath laying ceremony for 26/11 martyrs was sombre as policemen remembered their fallen comrades and family members of victims fought back tears, 10 years after the worst-ever terror attack in India’s history.

At an early morning solemn ceremony at Mumbai’s 26/11 martyrs’ memorial at Police Gymkhana on the Arabian Sea coast, Maharashtra Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis laid wreaths as a police band paid their musical tribute at the ‘Salutation Ceremony’.

Tributes were also paid at the memorial of assistant sub-inspector Tukaram Ombale at Girgaum Chowpatty, a short distance away. It was at this spot that Ombale caught Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Kasab alive while getting killed himself.

On November 26, 2008 Mumbai was attacked by 10 terrorists of Pakistanbased Lashkar-e-Taiba. In the mayhem that followed for the next three days 166 people including 18 police officers and two NSG commandos were killed while 308 people were injured.

rorism Squad (ATS) chief Hemant Karkare, Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, Additional Police Commissioner Ashok Kamte and Senior Police Inspector Vijay Salaskar were among those killed in the attack.

Salaskar’s daughter Divya said nothing could make up for the loss of her brave-heart father. “Ten years on, the pain is very much the same. When you lose a loved one like a father or a husband, there is nothing to compensate for that kind of loss,” she

said.

Maharashtra Police Chief Datta Padsalgikar and Mumbai Commissioner of Police Subodh Kumar Jaiswal also attended the ceremony along with family members of policemen who lost their lives during the attacks, which began on November 26 and lasted till November 29.

‘I don’t make false promises’: Rahul New Delhi, Nov 26 (AGENCIES): Going all out to woo farmers and youth in poll-bound Rajasthan, Congress president Rahul Gandhi Monday promised to waive farm loans in ten days if voted to power in the state and said the Congress chief minister will work for 18 hours a day to help youth get jobs.

Speaking at an election rally in Jaisalmer district’s Pokhran constituency, he described Congress workers as ‘sher’ and ‘babbar sher’ and said they have to fight on booths but with gentleness unlike RSS or BJP workers.

“You (people) are going to make Congress party’s government in the state.

Within ten days of government formation, Congress will waive farmers’ loan in the state,” he said.

Gandhi said he had made the same promise in Punjab and Karnataka elections and Congress governments there have waived farmers’ loan. “You

Rahul Gandhi (File) may call and ask any farmer in Punjab and Karnataka and check whether their loans have been waived or not by the Congress party. I do not make false promises.

Whatever I, Sachin Pilot or Ashok Gehlot are saying from this stage, we will do that,” he said. He said the chief minister of Congress will work for 18 hours in a day and will be engaged in getting youth jobs.

Alleging that “Modi waived 3.5 lakh crore of top 15 industrialists”, he said, “We will give loans of lakhs to crores of youths. We will give bank loans to youths

to set up small business, factories and will ask them to give jobs to others”. The allegations that the prime minister waived loans of industrialists have been denied by the Centre.

Gandhi said he will only speak the truth and will not make any promise which cannot be fulfilled.

“The bond between you and me should be that of transparency. Many things can be done by truthfulness. Farmers’ loan can be waived off and schemes like MGRENGA can be introduced with truthfulness,” he said.

He also attacked the prime minister over the Rafale deal and other issues.

Targeting Chief Minister Vasundhra Raje, Gandhi said that she had in an advertisement talked about a school in Bharatpur and said the school had fans, furniture, drinking water, playground etc. but journalists went there and found that the school had nothing, no fan no drinking water.

“I offer my heartfelt tribute to the ones who put Mumbai first, till the very end,” Jaiswal said.

The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, the Oberoi Trident, the Taj Mahal Hotel, Leopold Cafe, Cama Hospital and the Nariman House Jewish community centre, now renamed Nariman Light House, were among the places targeted by the terrorists.

Ajmal Kasab was the only terrorist who was captured alive. He was hanged four years later on November 21, 2012.

“Remembering those who put the nation before themselves. And our salute to the city whose resilience always made its people stronger,” Mumbai Police tweeted.

Railway officials laid wreaths at the 26/11 memorial at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, where 52 people were killed during the terror attack.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted: Tributes to those who lost their lives in the gruesome 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai. Our solidarity with bereaved families.

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj tweeted: My tributes to the victims and brave martyrs of dastardly 26/11 Mumbai terror attack on its 10th Anniversary. We will continue to seek justice for their families and friends. India will defeat terrorism.

Union minister Kiren Rijiju said he was unable to attend the Mumbai 26/11 memorial event due to preoccupation. “My tribute to the martyrs and civilians who lost their lives in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack,” he tweeted.

5 PM Modi must exercise restrain, says Manmohan New Delhi, Nov 26 (IANS): The quality of political discourse in the country has hit a rock bottom and former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh urged his successor Narendra Modi on Monday to exercise “due restrain” in public speech.

Singh was grilled during the launch of Manish Tewari’s book “Fables of Fractured Times” to comment on the new pitfalls in the language used by politicians across party lines.

“My advise to the Prime Minister is to exercise due restrain that is becoming of a Prime Minister. When the PM goes to states that are not ruled by the BJP, he has an obligation to not use the language that has now become common practise,” he said.

Singh said that he and his Congress-led UPA government never discriminated in the fashion that the Modi dispensation is carrying out on a daily basis.

“We never discriminated against the BJP ruled states. (Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister) Shivraj Singhji would himself testify to this. We paid the respect that was deserving,” he said.

T h e C o n g r e s s, h e added, taught the lesson of patriotism. But when the Army carried out a surgical strike by crossing over the border, the party questioned it and asked for video proof.

The soldiers have their lives in hands and not a camera, Modi said.

India, he said, will never forget the 26/11 terror attack or its perpetrators.

“Justice will surely be done, I want to assure the country,” he added while expressing solidarity with the families of those who lost their lives. “A grateful nation bows to our brave police and security forces who valiantly fought the terrorists during the Mumbai attacks,” Modi said.

The Prime Minister said his government had responded to terrorists and Naxals in their own language.

Claiming that terror strikes had come down under BJP rule, Modi said terrorists now find it difficult to go beyond Kashmir.

On the one hand, there is terrorism and, on the other, Maoism and Naxalism.

They are giving guns in the hands of children and killing innocent people but Congress leaders and close aides of ‘naamdaar’ are calling Naxals revolutionaries and giving them certificates, he said.

At a rally in Kota, PM Modi the BJP had stopped the “loot” that was being carried out under the Congress rule and “people sitting in AC rooms in New Delhi” were trying to devise strategies to oust the party.

H e s a i d o n e vo t e doesn’t enthrone a political party or an individual but it gives power to change the country and shape its future.

Modi said people sitting in AC rooms in New Delhi were trying to devise strategies to oust the BJP from power, but they should come to Rajasthan’s Kota town and see the ground situation instead.

He claimed an army of thieves had siphoned off ` 90,000 crore to claim pension, scholarship and LPG subsidy by fudging information in government records, but one vote given to the BJP government at the Centre put a stop to such dubious beneficiaries.

Dr Farooq Abdullah (File) New Delhi, Nov 26 (IANS): Lamenting that the political discourse in the country has hit a new low, former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah said on Monday that the Congress, rather than the BJP-led NDA, should have conferred the Bharat Ratna on late former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

The former Prime Minister was given the country’s highest civilian award in 2015 at his residence months after NDA came to power.

Abdullah was referring to speeches of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that his linguistic behaviour is unbecoming of the prime minister.

He said Modi is using foul language against India’s first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru as well

as other leaders such as Indira Gandhi.

“Has he forgotten what Nehru did for the country? Has he forgotten what Indira Gandhi did for this country -- she gave her life for the nation.

“If we are here, it is because of the legacy that has been passed on to us.

His (Modi’s) conduct is just not becoming of the prime minister. I have never referred to my mother in my political speeches. What is he doing?” Abdullah asked.

He then praised Atal Bihari Vajpayee and recalled a personal conversation with the former prime minister where he praised Nehru.

Abdullah said that Vajpayee, even as he came from the RSS background, understood the fact that the nation could not be run by one man.

“But one mistake that the Congress made was not presenting him with the Bharat Ratna. He was worthy of it,” Abdullah said in the presence of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

He was participating in a panel discussion following the launch of “Fables of Fractured Times” by former minister in Singh’s cabinet Manish Tewari.

Mufti rules out going to Starvation death reports untrue: Mamata court against Gov’s decision Srinagar, Nov 26 (AGENCIES): People’s Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti on Monday, November 26, 2018, ruled out approaching the court against Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik’s decision to dissolve the State Assembly.

The Assembly was abruptly dissolved on November 21, hours after the PDP staked claim to form a government with the backing of rival National Conference and the Congress, followed by another bid from the two-member People’s Conference which claimed the support of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)and 18 MLAs from other parties.

Mufti in a tweet said, “Some sincere suggestions from well wishers for me to go to court against governor’s dissolution of assembly. PDP, NC, INC had come together to safeguard state interests. It is my

Mehbooba Mufti (File) considered opinion that we must go to people’s court which is superior to any other forum.”

The Governor had justified the decision, saying it was necessary to stop the use of money and horsetrading in government formation. The State was put under Governor’s Rule on June 19 after the BJP withdrew from the coalition government with the PDP, but the governor decided to keep the Assembly in suspended animation.

Jamboni (WB), Nov 26 (PTI): Iterating that starvation death reports in Jangalmahal area of West Bengal were “untrue”, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said Monday her government had been running several welfare schemes in the former Maoist bastion.

Allegations were rife during the Left Front regime that people in Jangalmahal, comprising forested areas of West Midnapore, Purulia and Bankura districts, went without food for months, but the TMC government ensured development of the people there, she said.

“Immediately after coming to power, I ensured that people in the Jangalmahal area get rice at Rs 2 per kg. So if someone says people are dying of starvation, it is untrue. I will not accept it,” she said at a public meeting here.

A section of media recently reported that seven people of Sabar community in Jangalmahal area of Jhargram district died due to starvation.

Sabar community is an

PM Modi attacks Congress on terrorism, naxalism Bhilwara, Nov 26 (AGENCIES): The Congress was in power when the Mumbai attacks took place but questioned the BJP government’s surgical strikes in Pakistan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said here on Monday, hitting out at the Opposition party on the issues of terrorism and Naxalism.

The Prime Minister was addressing an election rally here on the tenth anniversary of the 26/11 terror strike when 10 Pakistani terrorists sneaked into Mumbai, killing 166 people over 60 hours. He also addressed rallies in Kota and Beneshwar Dham.

He also spoke about the development work done by the BJP and even a month would not be enough to give an account of work done

by BJP governments at the Centre and state.

In a broadside against former Congress president and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, he said New Delhi, during the 26/11 attacks, was being governed by “madam” through remote control.

“I remember the slightest criticism over the attacks used to rile the then ruling party,” Modi told the

It has the power to change the country and shape its future,” Modi said.

He alleged that while it was in power, the Congress kept devising new ways to loot money.

“We stopped the work of looters, who siphoned-

off money, with your one vote that formed the BJP government. Such people are criticising Modi today,” he said. The prime minister urged the people to vote for the BJP in Rajasthan to maintain the speed of development.

ethnic tribe, mainly residing in Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal. The chief minister also claimed to have received information about people selling off their quota of food grains.

“Every person gets 8 kg rice and 3 kg wheat per month. However, I have come to know that people who don’t require the grains sell part of their quota in the open market,” she said. Last week, during her Assembly address, Banerjee had said that the deaths in the former Maoist stronghold resulted from “age-related ailments” or “excessive liquor consumption”.

Maintaining that the West Bengal government gave subsidies and sops to people on all occasions, she asserted that no other state could match up to the

welfare programmes run by her government.

“The former CPI(M)led Left Front regime had saddled us with debts. The NDA gover nment, too, takes away huge amount of money for servicing debts.

However, we haven’t let all that factors affect our schemes.

“From birth to death, the TMC government doles out benefits on all occasions, including marriage and child birth.

No state in country in on par with the West Bengal government when it comes to sops disbursal,” the chief minister said.

Alleging that the BJP was trying to “divide people on religious lines”, the TMC supremo sought to know the role played the saffron party during Maoist violence in Jangalmahal.

Victims of Pak terror

T

en years after the horrific November 26,2008 Mumbai terror attacks carried out by Lashkare-Taiba, an Islamic terrorist organisation based in Pakistan, India cannot forget those bravehearts who laid down their lives fighting a demonic and blood thirsty gang. The Pakistani terrorists launched a series of 12 coordinated shooting and bombing attacks lasting four days across Mumbai that began on Wednesday November 26,2008 and lasted until Saturday November 29,2008. The bloody mayhem left at least 174 people dead (including 9 attackers) and more than 300 were wounded. It is unfortunate that when the nation was in grief at the most outrageous and cold blooded murder hatched, implemented and carried out by Pakistani “non-state actors”; political parties are besmirching the memory of the victims by politicising the tragedy. It is not a time to reduce the tragedy into a nonsensical politics by saying it happened during the tenure of that party of coalition or countering about this by pointing out to the attack on India’s sanctum sanctorum, the Parliament on December 13,2001 by Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), two terrorist organizations from Pakistan. It would be pertinent to remind the political class that terror attacks take place even on powerful nations across the world. It would be nothing short of lunacy to imply that a political party is to be blamed for any terror attack. Even the best of security systems are tested and found wanting but the process never stops and neither do political foes blame each other for the attacks. Blaming the other political opponent is the favourite but childish game of Indian politicians. The 26/11 Mumbai attacks happened because Pakistani handlers wanted to kill and maim innocent and harmless people as part of the terror campaign against India. As India looks back, the lessons of 26/11 have to be learnt. The security apparatus across the nation and especially from Delhi to Mumbai were woefully inadequate because Indian intelligence failed to decipher initial inputs about impending terror attack. This also happened with the US intelligence units which failed to act despite having received inputs of impending hijack of planes by Islamic terrorists from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt and Emirates etc. The gaps in coastal defence system which allowed the terrorists to travel in a fishing boat without challenge including lack of cohesion among police, special squads and central forces that led to late responses etc will continue to spur authorities towards improvement. This gap was compounded by the fact that the national intelligence infrastructure that includes the external, domestic and state/city level agencies were unable to pick up any significant lead in the run-up to the 26/11 attacks that could have pre-empted the massacre of innocents that took place in late November 2008. Important lessons were learnt in the immediate aftermath of 26/11 and the most significant was the acknowledgement that maritime domain awareness (MDA) in the Indian Ocean region needed to be enhanced by a significant index with appropriate focus on the more vulnerable coastal regions. Israel is the boss of the bosses in fighting terror and uses the latest technology and training methods for its crack units specialised in tackling specific terrorist elements.

Modi has struck a rapport with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and so one big step has been taken towards this goal.

DailyDevotion The Focal Point of Spiritual Power …except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ…

—Galatians 6:14 If you want to know the power of God (that is, the resurrection life of Jesus) in your human flesh, you must dwell on the tragedy of God. Break away from your personal concern over your own spiritual condition, and with a completely open spirit consider the tragedy of God. Instantly the power of God will be in you. “Look to Me…” (Isaiah 45:22). Pay attention to the external Source and the internal power will be there. We lose power because we don’t focus on the right thing. The effect of the Cross is salvation, sanctification, healing, etc., but we are not to preach any of these. We are to preach “Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:2). The proclaiming of Jesus will do its own work. Concentrate on God’s focal point in your preaching, and even if your listeners seem to pay it no attention, they will never be the same again. If I share my own words, they are of no more importance than your words are to me. But if we share the truth of God with one another, we will encounter it again and again. We have to focus on the great point of spiritual power— the Cross. If we stay in contact with that center of power, its energy is released in our lives. In holiness movements and spiritual experience meetings, the focus tends to be put not on the Cross of Christ but on the effects of the Cross.

The feebleness of the church is being criticized today, and the criticism is justified. One reason for the feebleness is that there has not been this focus on the true center of spiritual power. We have not dwelt enough on the tragedy of Calvary or on the meaning of redemption.

Education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom. ~ George Washington Carver

S

ometime ago I wrote about arsenic being deliberately added to chicken feed and the harm it did to the human body.

There is another source of arsenic which is not added deliberately but, nonetheless, is found in large quantities - in seafood and shellfish.

Arsenic is an odourless, tasteless element that is used in wood preservatives, fertilizers, animal feed, and other industrial and agricultural applications. Like lead, mercury, and other heavy metals, arsenic can persist in soil for years after it is applied to crops. Arsenic is found in two forms: organic, which is considered less harmful, and inorganic, which is considered very harmful.

The key organic arsenic compounds that can be routinely found in food include monomethylarsonic acid (MMAsV), Dimethylearsonic acid (DMAsV), arsenobetaine, arsenocholine, arsenosugars, and arsenolipids.

Seafood and seafood products contain high levels of arsenic compounds.

It is mainly found as arsenobetaine. DMAsV or MMAsV can be found in various types of fin fish, crabs, and molluscs.

Arsenocholine, which is mainly found in shrimp, is chemically similar to arsenobetaine. Arsenosugars and arsenolipids have recently been identified in marine molluscs. The current biological exposure index in the US of 35 µg/L total urinary arsenic may easily be exceeded by a healthy person eating a seafood meal. In Indians there are no standards, but our marine life contains far more arsenic than is safe to eat. Arsenic is present

in all seafood, but there are higher amounts in bivalves [clams, oysters, scallops, mussels], crustaceans [crabs, lobsters], and cold water and bottom feeding finfish and seaweed/kelp, specially Hijiki seaweed which is the most commonly used in Japanese/ Chinese food.

Arsenobetaine is considered nontoxic because it is organic. But then so was arsenic in the form of Roxarsone given to chickens to make them get fatter faster and look redder. It was proven in 2011 to be deadly because it changed from organic to inorganic (which is toxic) in the chicken’s body and got even more toxic when it was cooked.

Calcium, and other supplements made from seafood, may also contain high amounts of arsenic.

Concerns about the adverse effects of chronic arsenic exposure have focused on contaminated drinking water and airborne workplace exposures; the risks of naturally occurring arsenic in foods have received less attention. About 90% of the arsenic in US diets comes from seafood. This has not been taken seriously as it was considered that only a small proportion occurs in inorganic forms; the great majority consists of complex organic compounds that have been regarded as non-toxic. However, recent studies of seafood have documented that this arsenic becomes carcinogenic in rodents. Borak and Hosgood have analysed the risk of seafood arsenic on humans and found it substantial.

Research done by analytical chemists at the University of Graz in Austria, in 2013, found that certain

We just eat and die forms of arsenic, which appear in seafood and are thought to be harmless, might actually be toxic.

Even more troubling, the researchers found that while arsenic mostly passes right through some people, it lingers inside others for an extended period.

Francesconi and colleagues at the University created organic arsenic that they fed to six volunteers. The researchers had originally wanted to test 50 people, but medical ethics concerns limited the size of the study. Over the next four days, testing of urine and blood showed that four of the six participants excreted into their urine at least 85 percent and as much as 95 percent of the arsenic they ingested, with most of it coming out in the first day. Of the remaining two volunteers, one excreted just 15 percent, and the other eliminated less than 4 percent of the arsenic she had swallowed.

What happened to the non excreted arsenic?

Obviously, it was being stored by the body- and that is not good news. 2 out of 6 people is a very high percentage.

Results also showed that, over the course of digestion, the synthetic organic arsenic broke down into potentially toxic forms.

This finding raises new concerns about levels of organic arsenic in seafood.

At very high levels, ar-

senic can be fatal. At lower levels, arsenic can cause nausea and vomiting and decrease the amount of red and white blood cells produced by the body. It causes abnormal heart rhythms, may damage blood vessels, and causes a pins and needles sensation in the hands and feet.

What happens to people when they are exposed to low levels of arsenic over a long period of time?

Arsenic is associated with skin, bladder, and lung cancers, says Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore. Chronic low level poisoning leads to heart disease, lung damage and breathing problems. Longterm exposure to arsenic causes skin discoloration that looks like freckles, or small moles, on the hands, feet, or trunk. Skin lesions start about ten years after first exposure. White lines appear on the nails and pigmentation on the arms and upper chest. This is accompanied by hair fall, conjunctivitis, corneal ulceration. There is an increased risk of diabetes.

For children and pregnant women, the risks are heightened. “The more we learn about arsenic’s additional effects on the developing brain, the more concerned I am. Getting exposed to a toxicant like arsenic in-utero, or during early childhood, can cause damage that may not ap-

pear until decades later,” says Michael Waalkes, at the Division of the National Toxicology Program.

He is one of the authors of a June 2012 report, funded in part by the National Institutes of Health, that concluded early life exposure to arsenic produces a wide range of cancers and other diseases.

Arsenic is known to affect thyroid activity, leading to increased levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). This hormone is released from the pituitary gland. It stimulates the thyroid to capture iodine from the blood, which is needed to produce essential enzymes for the body’s health. However, a number of studies have shown that increased arsenic consumption disrupts the functioning of the thyroid. In a recent study, published in the Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology, the scientists focused on arsenic in seafood.

38 healthy young men and women, between 20-40 in age, were selected to eat 150 gms of salmon, cod, or mussels, for 14 days.

Another group ate 150 gms of potatoes. Before and after this eating regimen, the subjects had blood samples taken in order to measure arsenic, iodine and selenium – all chemicals indicative of thyroid activity. Included in the blood analysis were the enzymes that reflect the exact levels of thyroid activity.

After 14 days of seafood consumption, the subjects had a 20-60% rise in arsenic levels in their bodies. And the increased arsenic in the plasma did, in fact, cause hikes in thyroid activity as well as TSH levels.

Arsenic not only is a

potent human carcinogen but it can set up children for other health problems in later life. The Environmental Protection Agency assumes there is actually no “safe” level of exposure to inorganic arsenic. WHO considers arsenic as one of the ten major public health concerns. It is ranked by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as one of more than 100 substances that are Group 1 carcinogens. Two forms of organic arsenic, called DMA and MMA, found in seafood, have also been labelled by the same agency as “possibly carcinogenic to humans”.

A study has been done,

by Lorenzana, Yeow, Colman, Chappell & Choudhary, on what percent of inorganic arsenic exists in seafood round the world.

This is their finding: “...the Data from the worldwide literature indicate the percent of inorganic arsenic in marine/estuarine finfish does not exceed 7.3% and in shellfish can reach 25% in organisms from uncontaminated areas. However, percentages can be much higher in organisms from contaminated areas and in seaweed. For freshwater finfish the average percent inorganic arsenic is generally 10%, but ranges up to nearly 30%.”

Should you be worried about the fish, shellfish and seaweed you eat? You should. But in India neither the government nor the public ever worry. It has taken us thirty or more years to even develop a test for formalin which is used in all fish. We just eat and die. And life goes on.

Post-mortem

I

ntroduction: Christianity in Nagaland has affected us for good in several ways – education, peacemaking, generosity and hospitality, Clean election process by NBCC, Community support and mobilization, missions support, evangelism, social consciousness and in many other countless ways.We also have several problems. Of the several issues that plague Naga society – two issues seem to stand out Bad roads and tribal conflict: One of the most common statements that we hear from Christian visitors to Nagaland is this “Nagaland is supposed to be 95% Christian. How come it does not show?”

Generally when they say this, they usually mean the bad roads and several other bad practices in our society. However the most prominent and glaring thing is the roads.

In the visitor’s eyes, the bad roads seem to equate with Bad & superficial Christian profession.

We know that good roads do not mean good Christian practice. You can have excellent roads and yet be very pagan or even atheistic in your beliefs.

However almost everything else is forgotten in the sight of the roads. The Middle Eastern countries are not Christian and yet have excellent roads due to oil money.

Visitor’s comments sting us badly and we feel terrible every time this statement is made. We feel it every day and people curse the government which is bankrupt or unable to do much, considering all its well known limitations and inherited problems.

Tribal Conf lict: Nagas have a track record of communal/ tribal conflicts which seem to emerge every now and then.

The Aos Vs Sumis, Angamis vs Sumis, Changs Vs Konyaks, Nagas vs Kukis, Southern Angamis vs Maos and endless squabbles which seem to be our trademark.

In my Geography textbook, when I was a student in Darjeeling, all states were described relative to their land and resources.

When it came to Nagaland, it was a one liner – “Nagas

are Trouble makers”. Several generations of Indians grew up knowing only that Nagas were trouble makers.

Over the years, we have learnt to make peace or create a ceasefire till the next spark ignites long suppressed anger and hurts in an incompletely healed population. We have an uneasy peace or absence of war.

Naga community potential: Naga communities have the fantastic potential to do good.

30,000 Ao people cleaned up Dimapur city on a single day. The Sumi people did likewise. Social work efforts are very common.

Khonoma and Mopungchuket are exemplary villages of community mobilization. Church centenary projects are times of phenomenally productive activities. Pangti village is an example of a wonderful community led wildlife conservation process.

One day, 1000 Ao people descended on CIHSR campus and cleaned the whole place, cut the overgrown weeds and painted the dividers. It was an overnight miracle.

Recently the Eastern Nagas in Dimapur took responsibility of a stretch of road in Dimapur.

These are laudable examples of Naga communities taking charge of their lives.

Why Church involvement?

The scriptures have something to say to the believers in every area of their lives – legal issues, governance, integrity, healthy living, food habits, marriage, family life, technology, time and business management, education and teaching methodology, agriculture & environment etc.

Likewise the present day church has authority and responsibility to be involved in every area of Christian living.

People often comment saying - the church should restrict itself to missions and church life.

However when things go wrong, they say – where is the church or what is the church doing about it? This is a dichotomy that is hard to explain.

I am of the opinion that the church should get involved in every area of life of the Naga people since 95% of its members are Christians. Every area of living comes under the purview of

the church. I am convinced that from City tower to Signal Basti • One Sunday church contribution towards roads the church is the only realistic junction.

Sanction to prosecute Chidambaram granted 9 Naxals, 2 DRG personnel

New Delhi, Nov 26 (PTI): In a setback to former union minister P Chidambaram, the CBI on Monday told a court that the Centre has granted sanction for prosecution of the senior Congress leader in the Aircel-Maxis case.

The court, which further extended the protection from arrest to Chidambaram and his son Karti till December 18, also granted three weeks to the probe agency to get sanction against some other people who are accused in the case.

Special Judge O P Saini posted the next date of hearing on December 18.

There are 18 accused in the case. Besides Chidambaram, sanction is required for the prosection of five public servants.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta submitted on behalf of the Central Bureau of Investigation(CBI)

P. Chidambaram (File)

that “the competent authority in the central gover nment has accorded sanction for prosecution of accused P Chidambaram under section 197 of CrPC and section 19 of Prevention of Corruption Act”.

“Sanction for prosecution in respect of remaining accused public servants (five) are still awaited,” he said, seeking two more weeks to get the nod.

The CBI said that the court’s refusal to grant more time to obtain the sanction for other accused

“in a matter pertaining to such a serious offences, may frustrate the cause of justice”.

It further said: “In view of the facts and circumstances stated above, it is most humbly and respectfully prayed that the prosecution sanction received from the competent authority in the central government in respect of accused P Chidambaram may kindly be taken on record and a further time may be given to file sanction for prosecution in respect of remaining accused public servants.”

On behalf of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a related money laundering case, Mehta orally told the court that the accused “misled the agency and made false statement. He suppressed information about the bank accounts in other countries and the money received from various sources.”

“Custodial interrogation is required since various new materials have surfaced after filing of the charge sheet,” the ED, also represented by special public prosecutors N K Matta and Nitesh Rana, said.

Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for Chidambaram, requested the court to extend the protection of the former union minister, as well as his son and co-accused Karti in the both the cases filed by the CBI as well as the ED. The father-son duo recently denied the allegations of both the agencies that they were evasive and non-cooperative during the probe in the case, and said the allegations against them were “unsubstantiated” and there was no need of their custodial interrogation.

The submissions were made in their rejoinder, filed by advocates P K Dubey and Arshdeep Singh, in response to the

replies of the probe agencies.

The CBI and ED, in their replies to the anticipatory bail pleas of Chidambarams, alleged that they were not cooperating in the investigations.

P Chidambaram filed his anticipatory bail application in May this year.

His protection from arrest has been extended from time to time.

The agencies have sought the custodial interrogation of both the accused, saying they have not been cooperating and, therefore, making it difficult to complete the investigation in a time-bound manner as directed by the Supreme Court.

The senior Congress leader and his son have come under the scanner of investigating agencies in the Rs 3,500-crore AircelMaxis deal and the INX Media case involving Rs 305 crore.

killed in gun battles in Sukma

Raipur, Nov 26 (PTI): Nine Naxals and two police personnel were killed in two encounters between the ultras and the security men in Chhattisgarh’s Sukma district on Monday, a senior official said.

The encounters took place in the forests of Kistaram, bordering Telangana, and Chintagufa, both in south Sukma, during an anti-Maoist push, titled “Operation Prahar IV”, involving over 1,200 troopers, D M Awasthi, Chhattisgarh Special Director General of Police (Anti Naxal Operations), said Monday evening.

He said several teams of the Special Task Force (STF), District Reserve Guard (DRG) and the CRPF’s elite CoBRA (Commando Battalion for Resolute Action), along with Telangana police, launched the operation late Sunday night in the

forests of Sakler, Tondamarka and Saletong villages.

South Sukma is considered a stronghold of the Naxal’s “military battalion number 1” and the target area is located on the tri-junction of Chhattisgarh’s Sukma and Bijapur districts and Telangana’s Kothagudem district, the DG said.

When a patrolling team of the DRG was cordoning off a forest patch at around 9:40 am Monday near Sakler village under the Kistaram police station limit, it came under Naxal fire leading to a gun battle, Awasthi said.

Eight Naxals and two DRG personnel, Dirdo Rama and Madvi Joga, were killed in the encounter and an Air Force MI-17 helicopter was dispatched to airlift the bodies, he said.

The DG identified

two of the gunned down Naxals as Tati Bhima and woman cadre Podiyam Raje, both “divisional committee” members of the proscribed outfit, each carrying a reward of Rs 8 lakh on their heads.

He said the ground report as well as blood stains found at the spot indicate that several more ultras were either killed or injured in the firefight but other Naxals managed to drag them deep into the forest.

In another operation, a Naxal was gunned down

by CoBRA personnel near Elmagunda village under the Chintagufa police station limits, he said.

Awasthi said the two encounters on Monday led to the recovery of at least 10 weapons, including a self-loading rifle, a .315 bore rifle, improvised explosive devices and ammunition.

Stressing that safety and security were vital components in tourism, he remarked that success or failure of a tourist destination depended on being able to provide a safe and secure environment to the visitors.

He called for deploying TP at railways station, airport, check gates, bus stands, etc, the key point of entries where tourists were most susceptible to being cheated or harassed. He sug-

Jain said that Delhi had became totally “unsafe for its inhabitants”.

“The elected Chief Minister and Ministers can be attacked in their own office and at public events hosted by the elected government. Those who attack the CM have the audacity to file complaint against the elected CM and pressure Delhi Police to register FIR against the Chief Minister.”

Kejriwal, supporting the resolution, added that, “due to subversive, disruptive and anti-people instructions given to Delhi Police by Union Government through Lt. Governor, the elected Government is not in a position to enlist any support from Delhi Police even in enforcing central laws such as Essential Services Maintenance Act when needed.

“It has become a huge and unassailable challenge for the elected Government to discharge its functions and to look after public interest in the absence any control whatsoever over Delhi Police,” he said.

While Jain was presenting the resolution, Leader of Opposition Vijender Gupta and MLA Kapil Mishra were marshalled out for creating ruckus in the Assembly on different issues.

Meanwhile BJP MLAs Jagidish Pradhan and Om Prakash Sharma walked out of the Assembly.

duty being the witnesses to such attacks, the police “tries to hush them up with grossly illogical arguments which have turned the Delhi Police sadly in to a butt of ridicule”.

He also said that Police were not accountable to the elected government, the Legislators and the Assembly who were charged with the responsibility of looking after the overall well-being of the people.

The elected government, Jain added, was not in a position to remove deficiencies in the service of people on account of certain limitations imposed by the Constitution which kept “police out of the purview of the elected government”.

He also said that it was necessary for the elected government to have certain degree of control over law enforcing agencies to ensure that decisions taken by it in public interest were implemented.

New Delhi, Nov 26 (IANS): Demanding an amendment in the Constitution, the Delhi Assembly on Monday passed a resolution moved by Delhi Home Minister Satyendar Jain to bring Delhi Police under the elected government and to make it accountable to the Legislative Assembly like in other states.

Jain, through the resolution moved and passed during a special session of Delhi Assembly, demanded that “necessary steps be initiated by the Government of India to devolve certain powers to the elected Government so that it is in a position to have control over Delhi Police in implementing its decisions” while the amendments were pending.

The demands came after Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was attacked with chilli powder in the Delhi Secretariat last week, with the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) blaming the BJP and Delhi Police for the attack.

Giving a break-up, the report said Rs 1.05 trillion can be transferred if the contingency reserve is capped at 3.5 percent of the RBI book. It further said this level will be 75 percent higher than the average of BRICS economies, excluding India.

Additional forms of transfers can include Rs 1.16 trillion from the contingency reserves if one restricts to yield rise of 4.5 percent as against 9 percent at present.

PNB may not need further capital infusion from the government in 2018-19.

PNB has already received regulatory capital twice so far,” the official said.

State-owned banks will need less capital to meet their capital adequacy norms, as the Reserve Bank of India last week decided to defer the deadline for them to meet the global norms or Basel-III requirement by a year till March 2020.

The RBI Board last week, while deciding to retain the capital adequacy requirement for banks at 9 per cent, agreed to extend the transition period for implementing the last tranche of 0.625 per cent under the capital conservation buffer (CCB) by one year — up to March 31, 2020.

Rating agency Moody’s Investors Service had last week said the decision of the RBI board to extend the timeline for banks to implement Basel III guidelines is ‘credit negative’ for PSBs.

New Delhi, Nov 26 (PTI): The Reserve Bank has “more than adequate” reserves and that it can transfer over Rs 1 trillion to the government after a specially constituted panel identifies the “excess capital”, says a report. An RBI board meeting had last Monday decided to form a committee, which is likely to be announced later this week.

“We expect the proposed committee on the RBI’s economic capital framework (ECF) to identify Rs 1-3 trillion which is 0.5-1.6 per cent of GDP as excess capital,” analysts at Bank of America Merrill Lynch said in a note Monday.

The brokerage report said as per its stress tests, the central bank can transfer Rs 1 trillion to the government if the transfer is limited to passing excess contingency reserve and can go up to Rs 3 trillion if the total capital

New Delhi, Nov 26 (PTI): Gold prices rose by Rs 100 to Rs 31,850 per 10 gram Monday amid buying by local jewellers and positive global sentiment.

Silver, too, gained Rs 150 to Rs 37,450 per kg amid increased demand from industrial units.

Bullion traders said that demand from local jewellers at the domestic spot market mainly kept gold prices higher following a positive trend overseas. In the international market, gold was trading at $1,224.30 an ounce and silver was at $14.21 an ounce.

In the national capital, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per cent purity rose by Rs 100 each to Rs 31,850 per 10 gram and Rs 31,700 per 10 gram, respectively. Sovereign gold also rose by Rs 100 to Rs 24,800 per piece of 8 gram. Silver advanced by Rs 150 to Rs 37,450 per kg and weekly-based delivery gained Rs 209 to Rs 36,309 per kg.

The statutes do not prohibit transfer of excess capital to the government, it said, pointing out that the RBI Act places no bar as long as government maintains Rs 5 crore of reserve funds under Sec 46 of the RBI Act. While Section 47 enjoins the RBI to credit its annual surplus to the national exchequer, after provisions, it does not place any restrictions on further transfers, it added.

The RBI’s contingency reserves at 7 percent are higher than the BRICS (excluding India) average of 2 percent, it said, adding the revaluation reserves are also on the higher side relative to BRICS central banks.

New Delhi, Nov 26 (PTI): The government will infuse Rs 42,000 crore in the state-owned banks

by March-end and the next tranche would be released as early as next month, a senior finance ministry official said Monday.

The government earlier this year pumped Rs 11,336 crore in five PSBs - PNB, Allahabad Bank, Indian Overseas Bank, Andhra Bank and Corporation Bank - to improve their financial health.

“We will infuse the next tranche of recapitalisation by mid-December.

Close to Rs 42,000 crore remain to be infused as capital in public sector banks in the current financial year,” the official said.

He said that large PSBs such as State Bank of India and Punjab National Bank (PNB) may not need more capital infusion in the current financial year ending March 2019.

“Some big stateowned banks like SBI and

Mumbai, Nov 26 (PTI): Snapping its seven-day rising streak, the rupee Monday fell by 18 paise to close at 70.87 against the US dollar amid softening crude oil prices. The domestic currency had gained a healthy 220 paise in the last seven trading sessions.

At the Interbank Foreign Exchange (forex), the rupee opened on a firm note at 70.48 against the US dollar. It gained further ground to hit a high of 70.30, following dollar selling by exporters. The local unit, however, pared the initial gains and finally settled the day at 70.87 to the US dollar, down 18 paise over its previous close.

The rupee had rallied 77 paise to end at 70.69 against the US dollar Thursday on lower crude oil prices and foreign capital inflows.

The forex market was closed Friday on account of Guru Nanak Jayanti.

making it clear to Islamabad that the Trump administration was not happy with the slow pace of the trial involving seven LeT suspects, including its operations commander Zaki-ur Rehman Lakhvi, who is out on bail. “We call upon all countries, particularly Pakistan, to uphold their UN Security Council obligations to implement sanctions against the terrorists responsible for this atrocity, including Lashkar-e-Tayyiba and its affiliates,” Pompeo said.

“The US Department of State’s Rewards for Justice (RFJ) Program is offering a reward of up to USD 5 million for information leading to the arrest or conviction in any country of any individual who committed, conspired to com-

mit, or aided or abetted in the execution of the 2008 Mumbai attack,” the State Department said in a statement on Sunday.

“Key members of this heinous plot remain at large, and this investigation remains active and ongoing.

This reward offer extends to any individual who bears responsibility for this act of terror,” the RFJ said in a separate statement.

The move comes less than a fortnight after Vice President Mike Pence had a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Singapore, during which he is believed to have himself raised this issue and rued that even 10 years after the Mumbai terrorist attack its perpetrators have not been brought to justice.

At least 22 Afghan police killed in Taliban ambush responsibility for the attack in a WhatsApp message, saying 25 police were killed and four wounded.

“Four vehicles were destroyed and a large quantity of weapons were seized,” Qari Yousuf Ahmadi, a spokesman for the militants, added.

Provincial police spokesman Mohibullah Mohib said the convoy had been travelling from Farah city to Juwain district when it came under attack. Mohib put the death toll at five with another seven wounded.

Afghan government and military officials often downplay the casualty toll of security forces, while the Taliban frequently exaggerates the number its fighters have killed or wounded.

Elon Musk wants to live on Mars, come what may

Elon Musk (File)

Washington, Nov 26 (IANS): SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has said there’s “70 per cent chance that he will go to Mars”, despite a “good chance” of him not surviving either on his way or after landing, the media reported.

“We’ve recently made a number of breakthroughs that I… am just really fired up about,” Musk was quoted as saying in an interview with Axios on HBO on Sunday, the CNET reported.

“I’m talking about moving there,” said a thrilled Musk, as he spoke about his ambition.

He, however, agreed that the risks were high.

“Your probability of dying on Mars is much higher than on Earth,” Musk said, adding “There’s a good chance of death.”

Even if you make it to Mars, you could still end up dying in its harsh con-

ditions, but Musk remains certain he wants to go.

“There’s lots of people who climb mountains. People die on Mount Everest all the time,” Musk said.

“They still like doing it for the challenge.”

The SpaceX founder cautioned though that for those who want to go to the Red Planet they need to start saving because a voyage to Mars will cost “around a couple of hundred thousand dollars”.

Musk’s spaceship designed for interplanetary travel ‘Starship’ (formerly known as the BFR) is a fully reusable vehicle designed to take humans and supplies to Mars and also to dramatically cut travel time within Earth.

This two-stage vehicle -- composed of a Booster and a Ship -- is designed to eventually replace the company’s Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy and the Dragon spacecraft.

It is designed to service all Earth orbit needs as well as the Moon and Mars.

Starship is also set to fly a private passenger -Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa -- to Moon and is scheduled to start in 2023.

Maezawa, 42, is the founder and CEO of Zozo, the largest online fashion retailer in Japan.

State group (IS) have been inflicting record casualties on local forces this year.

At least 27 soldiers were killed in Friday’s suicide attack in a mosque on an army base in the eastern province of Khost.

IS claimed responsibility for the explosion, which also wounded at least 79 service members.

That came days after a suicide assault on a religious gathering in Kabul that killed at least 55 people and wounded 94.

Since the start of 2015, when local forces took over from US-led NATO combat troops to secure the country, nearly 30,000 Afghan soldiers and police have been killed, President Ghani revealed this month -- a figure far higher than anything previously acknowledged.

L o n d o n, N ov 2 6 (Agencies): More than 700 people have been injured in a 6.3-magnitude earthquake that struck western Iran on Sunday night, state television reports.

According to BBC, the epicentre was in Kermanshah province, where last year more than 600 people were killed in the country’s deadliest earthquake in over a decade.

Tremors were reportedly felt across the wider region, with reports of at least one death in nearby Iraqi Kurdistan.

No fatalities were reported in Iran, nor any major damage.

The earthquake hit 20km (12 miles) away from

the city of Sarpol-e Zahab, at a depth of 10km, at about 20:00 local time on Sunday, the US Geological Survey (USGS) said. Shallower earthquakes are more likely to cause broader levels of damage.

“We have had 729 injured, 700 of them have been treated and released ... some 18 people have been hospitalised,” the provincial governor, Houshang Bazvand, told state TV on Monday.

An official for Iran’s Red Crescent Society, Morteza Salimi, told AFP that most of Sunday’s casualties were caused by a stampede sparked by the first tremors.

State TV aired footage

of damaged houses in Sarpol-e Zahab, where a number of people still remain homeless after last year’s destructive earthquake.

Dozens of rescue teams, as well as the national army and Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have been deployed, the authorities said.

President Hassan Rouhani “has ordered officials to do whatever is necessary to provide help for the victims,” state TV reported.

According to officials in nearby Iraqi Kurdistan, one person died and 43 others were injured in the quake. Residents in the Iraqi capital Baghdad - about 175km away - and several other Iraqi provinces also felt Sunday’s quake.

Trump threatens to permanently close Mexico border Washington, Nov 26 (Agencies): Donald Trump has threatened to close the border between Mexico and the US “permanently” unless Mexico sends asylumseekers — many of whom he described as “stone cold criminals” — back to where they came from.

“Mexico should move the flag waving Migrants, many of whom are stone cold criminals, back to their countries. Do it by plane, do it by bus, do it anyway you want, but they are NOT coming into the USA,” the US President said in a tweet.

“We will close the Border permanently if need be. Congress, fund the WALL!” he added.

Authorities temporarily closed the port of entry “to ensure public safety” after some of the migrants threw “projectiles” at agents as they bore down on the fence, officials said.

“Border Patrol agents deployed tear gas to dispel the group because of the risk to agents’ safety,” the agency said on Twitter.

H e r at ( A f g h a n i stan), Nov 26 (Agencies): At least 22 police officers were killed in a Taliban ambush in western Afghanistan, a health official said Monday, in another blow to Afghan forces already suffering record casualties.

According to AFP, the attack on the police convoy in Farah province follows a wave of violence across Afghanistan in recent weeks, including a suicide bombing inside an army base mosque on Friday, and intensifying efforts to convince the Taliban to end the 17-year war.

At least two police officers were wounded in Sunday’s ambush, said Shir Ahmad Weda, director of the public hospital in the provincial capital.

The Taliban claimed

role in the fight against terrorism and is an effective means of curtailing support for terrorist activities and pressuring groups to get out of the terrorism business, the State Department said.

In May 2005, the United Nations (UN) 1267 Sanctions Committee added LeT to the Consolidated UN Security Council Sanctions List. The State Department said anyone with information on this incident can contact the RFJ office. Individuals may also contact the Regional Security Officer at the nearest US embassy or consulate. “All information will be kept strictly confidential,” it said.

Since its inception in 1984, the RFJ programme has paid over USD 150 million to more than 100 people who provided actionable information that helped bring terrorists to justice or prevented acts of international terrorism worldwide.

Meanwhile, a senior Trump administration official has said that except for designating Pakistan as a state sponsor of terrorism, the United States is looking at all possible tools at its disposal to convince Islamabad that it is in its interest to crush terrorist groups.

From November 26 to 29, 2008, a total of 10 terrorists associated with the LeT carried out a series of coordinated assaults against multiple targets in Mumbai, the State Department statement said.

“The United States is committed to working with our international partners to identify and bring to justice those responsible for the 2008 Mumbai attack,” it said. The State Department’s new announcement marks the third RFJ reward offer seeking information on the perpetrators of the Mumbai attack.

In April 2012, the Department of State announced reward offers for information that brings to justice LeT founder Hafiz Saeed and Hafiz Abdul Rahman Makki, another senior LeT leader. Under this, Washington announced a USD 10 million bounty for information leading to Saeed’s arrest and conviction but, despite periods of detention over the years, he has remained free in Pakistan.

In December 2001, the Department of State designated LeT as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. This designation plays a critical

Washington, Nov 26 (PTI): US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has asked Pakistan to act against those responsible for the barbaric 2008 Mumbai attacks as Washington announced a new reward of USD 5 million for information leading to the arrest or conviction in any country of those involved in the carnage.

The Trump administration offered the new reward (of over Rs 35 crore) on the 10th anniversary of the terror attack in which 10 Pakistan-based LeT terrorist went on a shooting rampage in India’s financial hub killing 166 people, including six Americans.

Describing the Mumbai terror attack as a “barbarity”, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called upon Pakistan and other nations to uphold their UN Security Council obligations to implement sanctions against those responsible for the atrocity, including the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and its affiliates.

“It is an affront to the families of the victims that, after ten years, those who planned the Mumbai attack have still not been convicted for their involvement,” Pompeo said in a statement,

t has been 10 years since the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack happened, the dark memories of shooting and killing of innocent people by terrorists still flicker alive. The Hindi film fraternity on Monday paid tribute to those who sacrificed their lives.

P r o d u c e r Ro n n i e Screwvala and makers of upcoming film “Uri”, based on the Uri attack of September 2016, showed their respect to all those martyred on that day by observing silence across 300 radio stations all over India on Monday morning.

As many as 164 people were killed and over 300 injured after an attack masterminded by the Pakistanbased Lashkar-e-Taiba was orchestrated in Mumbai on November 26, 2008.

On the tenth anniversary of the attack, Bollywood celebrities like Abhishek Bachchan and Varun Dhawan paid tribute to the victims and martyrs and said it’s a day that can’t be forgotten.

It was just the second time in 23 games that David Wagner’s men had scored twice in a single game and they could have had more against an out-ofsorts Wolves, who are now five without a win.

Huddersfield have a special affinity with Molineux, having won on five of their last six visits and they settled into their stride against the lacklustre hosts.

Erik Durm accelerated past Matt Doherty

too easily on six minutes and his cross was caressed into the corner of the net by Mooy for his first goal in 29 Premier League games.

Huddersfield’s midfield domination and energy should have yielded further rewards but Steve Mounie and Terence Kongolo both fluffed very promising headed chances.

Adama Traore was called from the bench by Nuno Espirito Santo at the break and he injected spark and excitement into what had been a lifeless Wolves performance. His chipped cross on 57 minutes was headed towards goal by Raul Jimenez but somehow Philip Billing hooked the ball off the line.

It was the first of a couple more openings for Jimenez, but the Wolves striker seemed to lack confidence with his final finish as Huddersfield hung in there.

Just as Wagner’s men were looking vulnerable, Mooy struck again to seal the points, taking aim with a 20-yard free-kick that skipped off the turf and flew into the net.

“Can we play you every week,” the away fans sang. Wolves had no response.

L o nd o n, N ov 2 6 (Agencies): Aaron Mooy scored twice as Huddersfield surged off the bottom of the Premier League with a 2-0 victory over Wolves at Molineux.

Aggressive without the ball and dangerous with it, Huddersfield looked far from a relegation-threatened side and they moved up six places to 14th thanks to two crisp finishes (6, 74) from their Australia star.

After recent struggles on the road, this was Huddersfield’s first away win of the campaign and just the

header from Portuguese forward Andre Silva on the half-hour mark. Sevilla prevailed after the visitors’ Turkish forward Enes Unal had two goals ruled out for offside in the second half.

It also took a flying save from home goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik to prevent substitute Unal equalising in stoppage time.

Sevilla now lead the standings on 26 points after 13 games, jumping ahead of Barca, who have 25.

Atletico are third on 24, with stuttering European champions Real Madrid sitting sixth on 20 after Saturday’s humiliating 3-0 defeat at Eibar.

Sevilla coach Machin told reporters: “I wouldn’t call it an epic victory, there were moments of uncertainty, but thanks to our defensive work and to Tomas, overall we deserved to win.

“You have to suffer to some degree in every victory and that’s why we love football so much.”

Espanyol missed the chance to move back into the top four as they were beaten 3-1 at home in a

Catalan derby by Girona, whose former Espanyol striker Cristhian Stuani netted twice to move ahead of Lionel Messi as top scorer in La Liga with 10 goals.

Villarreal’s veteran midfielder Santi Cazorla inspired them to a badlyneeded 2-1 win over Real Betis with two assists, ending a six-game spell without a league win and taking them three points clear of the relegation zone into 16th place.

Cazorla laid on passes for Gerard Moreno and Samuel Chukwueze to score in the space of two minutes early in the second half against Betis, who had earned a stunning 4-3 win over Barcelona at the Nou Camp the previous week.

The visitors replied with a goal in stoppage time from Giovani Lo Celso.

Athletic Bilbao, meanwhile, are still searching for their first win since the opening day of the season after drawing 1-1 at home to Getafe, which means the Basque side, who have never been relegated, remain in the drop zone on 11 points.

ICC bids for women’s T20 in Birmingham CWG DUBAI, Nov 26 (Agencies): The International Cricket Council (ICC) has submitted a bid for the inclusion of women’s Twenty20 in the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, the governing body said on Monday.

Cricket has not featured in the quadrennial Games since its maiden appearance in 1998 when the South African men’s team won the gold medal in Kuala Lumpur.

“Cricket and the Commonwealth are inextricably linked and almost perfectly aligned with 910 million of cricket’s one billion plus adult fans from Commonwealth countries,” ICC chief executive David Richardson said in a statement.

“Creating a new partnership between women’s cricket and the Commonwealth Games demonstrates the commitment both organisations have to growing women’s sport...”

Birmingham is the perfect place to launch this partnership as 23 percent of its residents have links to

cricket-playing nations outside the United Kingdom, Richardson said.

“If cricket were to be staged in these Games, we know every team competing would be guaranteed ‘home’ support. There’s a ready-made audience and ready-made infrastructure in the local vicinity,” he added.

Cricket Australia (CA) were quick to support the bid two days after their women’s team won the World Twenty20 crown in West Indies. “It’s exciting to think that cricket

Cricket, which has struggled to grow beyond its traditional bases, was last played at the Olympics in the 1900 Paris Games.

The ICC has been pushing for the game’s Olympic return with the 20-over format but the powerful Indian board has not been very keen on it, fearing it might lose its autonomy and be answerable to the country’s Olympic committee.

ISL: Bengaluru beat wasteful Delhi 1-0

Players of Bengaluru FC and Delhi Dynamos during their ISL match at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru on Monday.

Bengaluru, Nov 26 (Agencies): Delhi Dynamos paid for their profligately in front of goal as Bengaluru FC emerged winners after a late Udanta Singh goal at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru on Monday.

The win sends Bengaluru FC to top of the table with 19 points from seven games while Delhi languish at the bottom of the table with four points from nine games Dynamos started the game strongly, and, in fact, were better of the two teams in the first half.

The short and quick

passing game by Delhi had Bengaluru at their toes for almost the entire half during which the visitors carved out chances after chances but some fine goalkeeping by Gurpreet Singh Sandhu and some selfish play by Delhi players meant those chances could never be converted into goals.

One of the best chances for Delhi came in the 27th minute when a bit of short passing-play down the right flank released Nanda Kumar who then pulled it back for onrushing Kaludjerovic but the striker’s first-time shot completely

missed the target.

Delhi again did fantastically in the 31st minute during which Chhangte broke the offside trap to get behind a slicing Carmona through-ball that left him with only the goalkeeper to beat. He ignored his teammate on the far side and chose to shoot but it’s blocked by Gurpreet.

Similar selfish play in the 41st minute by Nanda fluffed Delhi’s chance in the 41st minute when three Delhi players got behind the Bengaluru defence after an incisive pass. Das, on the right, had two temmates in the centre with

Eng beat SL to complete series sweep

nobody challenging them but Nanda took the shot and Gurpreet saved.

Bengaluru started the second half with more intent and carved out their first chance of the half within one minute of the restart. Chhetri received a cut-back from right and his first-time shot rolled across the face of the goal where Chincho first made the run but hesitated as the ball went past the far post.

The home team got another great chance to score in the 70th minute when Xisco got himself in a fantastic position, just in front of the goalkeeper, and with a dink from Vedanta got the ball but blasted his effort straight at the goalkeeper who parried it back.

Bengaluru’s persistence paid off when Udanta finally scored for them in the 87th minute. Bengaluru continued to prod inside the Delhi box and the visitors managed to keep them off somehow but then the ball fell to Udanta who drove his half-volley effort ferociously at the far post. The shot took a slight deflection off Crespi and ended up inside the far post.

Delhi’s inability to hit the back of the net and their odd habit of conceding late in the game lost them all three points against Bengaluru.

Move possible but not to PSG: Hazard

London , N ov 2 6 (Agencies): Eden Hazard has ruled out a move to PSG but admits his contract situation at Chelsea could result in him leaving in the summer.

The Belgium international’s deal at Chelsea expires at the end of next season, and some of Europe’s biggest clubs have reportedly shown interest.

Hazard, who joined Chelsea from Lille in 2012, admitted he has previously discussed a move to PSG, but says he does not see himself playing at the Parc de Princes.

He told Canal Plus, “There has been contact in the past with PSG but I haven’t been tempted. If I have to go back to France one day, it would be to Lille.

But today, there is no chance that I’ll come back in the French league.”

However, while Hazard does not see himself moving to PSG, he has once again suggested this season could be his last at Chelsea.

While he made it clear he would not leave in January, Hazard said, “I have one year left in June. If I don’t extend, it (a move) is possible. I can’t see myself leaving in January. I wouldn’t do that to the club, to the fans.”

“Next summer it’s a possibility, but it’s also possible that I spend the rest of my career at Chelsea.”

Kuldeep rockets to career best No.3 in T20I rankings Dubai, Nov 26 (IANS): Chinaman Kuldeep Yadav rocketed 20 places to reach a career-best No.3 spot in the International Cricket Council (ICC) men’s T20I player rankings that was released here on Monday. Kuldeep, who took four wickets across the three Twenty20 Internationals against Australia, is now on 714 points and sits just behind Pakistan’s Shadab Khan (752) and table topper Rashid Khan (793) of Afghanistan.

Left-arm spinner Krunal Pandya, who claimed a stunning 4/36 in India’s series levelling-win in Sunday’s third T20I, rose 66 places to No.98, while the death over specialist duo of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah held their places at No.19 and No.21 respectively. Among the others to move northwards in

the ICC T20I bowlers’ chart, Australia leg-spinner Adam Zampa made a 17-spot leap to No.5 after picking three wickets against India across two bowling innings, including a match-winning spell of 2/22 in the first match. However, with Australia quicks Billy Stanlake and Andrew Tye slipping five places to No.14 and eight places to No.18 respectively, the top 10 bowlers’ list now features nine spin-

ners with Pakistan’s Faheem Ashraf the lone quick among the top names.

In the batting department, the results were mixed.

India opener Shikhar Dhawan moved up five places to No.11 after his knocks of 76 and 41, but his opening partner Rohit Sharma and an off-colour Lokesh Rahul slipped two spots to No.6 and No.9 respectively, while Virat Kohli kept his spot at No.14 after scores of 4 and 61 not out, the latter a match-winning effort.

For Australia, skipper Aaron Finch, who failed to really be his destructive self in all four games including the one-off T20I against South Africa, slipped one spot to the third rank, but Glenn Maxwell rose to the fifth place from No.6 after scores of 38, 46, 19 and 13.
