Eviction drive along border area

Houses and structures being destroyed by Assam officials along Nagaland-Assam border on Monday.

Sushanta Roy DIPHU, NOV 27: Assam chief minister, Sarbananda Sonowal followed up on his pre-poll promise, that illegal encroachers will be evicted from the soil of the state, with action.

In this regard, Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council authorities on Monday carried out a massive eviction drive inside the proposed reserve forest under Lahorijan forest range (administered by Karbi Anglong West Division forest), contiguous to Dimapur.

All together 156 out of 162 tin roofed bamboo structures and a few semiRCC houses were demolished by bulldozers and were later torched by hundreds of armed forest officials in three flanking locations, just 8 kilometres away from Dimapur.

The three locations where the most structures were destroyed were Hajong Pur, Kramsa Model Village and Hatuka. Nearly four hundred armed personnel of Assam Police, paramilitary, and Forest guards with two back-hoe loaders carried out

the demolition from 7.30 a.m. Anticipating massive armed forces build-up, most of the residents ran off, deserting their premises without putting up resistance.

In this drive around 2000 bighas of illegally occupied forest land was reportedly cleared. Officials alleged that most of the illegal occupants had allegedly crossed over to Assam from Dimapur.

Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council chief executive member, Tuliram Ronghang said: “We have dedicated ourselves for pro-

tecting 10434 square kilometer land of Karbi Anglong and shall not allow any illegal encroachment in any place of our autonomous area.”

He said that the next eviction will be carried out in the inter-district borders and along Meghalaya boundary.

Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, Abhajit Rabha and SP Karbi Anglong, Dr. Shiva Prasad also hinted that the eviction drive will continue without breaks till all the encroached forest areas were cleared.

D imapur , N ov 2 7 (NPN): Lotha Hoho has taken exception to the programme where the Nagaland Special Development Zone (NSDZ) which was shelved after stiff opposition by apex Naga tribes led by the Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) is sought to be revived through a discussion under the Coordinator of Business Summit at the Nagaland International Trade Expo (NITex) on November 28.

In a joint statement LH chairman Mhao Humtsoe and general secretary Er. Mhondamo Ovung also expressed shock that the Business Summit at NITex has snubbed LH and instead invited the local landowner and a sub ordinate body, the Lotha Lower Range Public Organisation (LLRPO).

In doing so, LH said the Business Summit Coordinator had shown utter disregard to the apex organisation of the Lothas by inviting a subordinate unit, LLRPO to revive “a controversial matter” like NSDZ which it (LH) had strongly opposed along

brothers, Dimapur had become part of Nagaland even before it had attained statehood and “on their own the Kachari tribe choose to be part of Naga Hills in spite of their rich and historical evidences that they were once an independent kingdom ”.

IMTN asserted that if the present political consultation did not cover areas and lands inhabited by the Kacharis, Kukis, Garos and Karbis, especially Dimapur district of which the Kacharis were “traditional and ancestral” land owners, then it had no objection to alienation and discriminatory attitude of not being invited as stakeholders in the consultative meet. “... but assuming from the statement of various political leaders of both NPG groups and GOI, the areas inhabited by the four minority indigenous recognized tribes seems very much part of the negotiations by various NPGs, then the omission of these group shows the discriminatory attitude and alienation of its legitimate stakeholders in

two cited Resolutions (No. vi & vii), were contrary to the provisions of Article 371A, of the Indian Constitution, the Lotha Hoho, reaffirmed that it would not allow the implementation of NSDZ within any Lotha area, of Wokha district or elsewhere. Further, LH reminded that if earlier, any ‘No Objection Certificate (NOC)’ had been issued or MOU signed for the NSDZ, the LH will treat such NOC and MOU, as Null and Void” Hence, the two LH leaders added that any relaxation of entry and settlement of non-Nagas was against the interest of Nagas in general.

The two leaders also asserted that Lotha Hoho would not honour any decision or resolution adopted on NSDZ in its present form by the Business Summit or any agency.

“Such decision/resolution will instead be treated as an insult to the Lotha tribe and the Lotha Hoho will oppose tooth and nail such decision/resolution, if implemented within its jurisdiction,” it warned.

Gov for strengthening NE ties with ASEAN Scholarship issue: DNSU D imapur , N ov 2 7 (NPN): Governor PB Acharya stressed on developing and strengthening ties of the Northeast with ASEAN region through trade, culture, people-to-people contacts and physical infrastructure.

Addressing the North East Governors’ Conclave in the presence of External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj at New Delhi on November 23, Acharya said with right focus on development of connectivity, infrastructure and cooperation with the neighbouring countries Nagaland could become one of the trading/ economic hubs connecting ASEAN countries.

On development and connectivity, Acharya said if the state had good road connectivity, increase in trade with neighbouring countries was possible. He felt that once the ongoing construction of a four-lane road between Kohima and

Dimapur was complete, it would open up smooth connectivity for the State as well as the region. Opening new and reactivating dormant trade routes, as well as facilitating border trade and transit points, would not only boost ties between neighbouring countries, but also improve economic condition of the State, he said.

Acharya said youth of the State were in an advantageous position due to their English medium education. Youth with proper skill training with English base could be strong service providers to South East Asian countries, he added.

To promote ties with ASEAN countries, Acharya also suggested cultural exchange programmes with those countries. He said North East Zone Cultural Centre, Dimapur could play a key role in this as nearly 5,000 performing artists teams were registered

Minority tribes peeved with Speaker DIMAPUR, NOV 27 (NPN): Indigenous Minority Tribes of Nagaland (IMTN) has expressed its unhappiness at the alleged discriminatory attitude of the State government, particularly NLA speaker, in ignoring the four indigenous recognised tribes of Nagaland for the proposed consultative meeting on Naga political issue on December 4.

In a statement issued by its president K. Lun Tungnung on Monday, IMTN reminded the NLA Speaker that the four tribes had played their role and made sacrifices for the Naga political movement since its inception– from being members of Naga Club to signing of historical documents like Simon Commission by Lenjang Kuki, “where many of the present so called stake holders tribes were not even remotely present during those days”.

IMTN said the four minority tribes were mostly inhabitants of Dimapur and present Peren district and that due to the “magnanimity” of Kachari

with other Naga tribe organisations such as Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC) and Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC).

LH said the attempt to discuss the matter at the Business Summit was a “clear indication of an ulterior motive and a hidden agenda” and viewed it as an attempt to “infuse division and crisis within the Lotha community”.

The two LH leaders also said they had submitted their objections on NSDZ in its present form, which was submitted to the State government through Chief Secretary on October 9, 2017. The two leaders said LH had clearly pointed out that its objections to NSDZ were based on the following: 1. the resolution in the state Consultative meeting of September 26,2014 which sought to evolve permanent settlement of non Nagas (Resolution No. vi), to liberalise the system of entry and stay of non Nagas in the NSDZs (Resolution No. vii). 2. Also since the nature of the proposed NSDZ and in particular the

such crucial stage of our political movement,” it added.

IMTN alleged that omission of social bodies like CNTC, NTC, Senior Citizen Forum, Nagaland GB Federations and IMTN in the initial invitation for the consultative meeting showed the hollowness and discriminatory attitude to keep “sons of the soil” away from discussing issues relating to their traditional and ancestral lands and issues within their own State.

It added that the “attempt and conspiracy” to keep away the indigenous recognised tribes of Nagaland spoke volumes of the present government’s real intent and discriminatory attitude.

Urging for inclusion of the four minority tribes in the consultation process, as a solution to the Naga political issue was on the horizon, IMTN demanded that no tribe or group having a stake whether big or small, weak or strong be left out and be equally made part of the consultative meet to discuss issues affecting all in the days to come.

with NEZCC from all eight “NAMASTE” States (NNagaland, A-Arunachal Pradesh, M-Manipur, Mizoram, Meghalaya, A-Assam, S-Sikkim, T-Tripura and E-East ).

Acharya felt that efforts should be made for setting up Special Economic Zones and said Nagaland needed to be developed as an exporthub that could link up with India’s neighbourhood in South and South East Asia.

He said the State produced the best bamboo products at cheap prices due to availability of raw material as well as manpower, while floriculture had emerged as a major business option for unemployed youth and it them fetched good annual turnover from exports.

Acharya said educational and healthcare facilities in border areas were important to forge greater ties between India and ASEAN countries.

to launch first phase stir

DIMAPUR, NOV 27 (NPN): As a mark of protest for non-release of pending scholarship amount, the Diphupar Naga Students’ Union (DNSU) has decided to launch the phase first of agitation in the form of poster campaign.

In a press note, DNSU president Kumlamo and secretary, Pitovi Achumi hit out at the state government and the concerned department for their “callous attitude” towards the plight of the students. “The decision of the government to release the scholarship on instalment basis was a mockery to the state’s education system and reflected the seriousness of the government towards the students, upon whom the future of the state and country lies,” it said.

Despite repeated appeals made to the state government by the students to release their scholarship, DNSU said the government paid no heed to their demands. This clearly showed its indifferent attitude towards the student fraternity, it added.

Therefore, in the interest of the student community, DNSU said it had “resolved to confront this injustice until every student receives his/her scholarship that is due to them.” DNSU said it would not hesitate to carry out further course of action if the government failed to act positively.

Meanwhile, DNSU appealed to all the right thinking individuals and organisations to support the student fraternity in this fight for justice.

Participants at the workshop for women vendors at Pfutsero town.

DIMAPUR: Entrepreneurs Associates (EA) in partnership with the Chakhesang Women Welfare Society (CWWS) organised a day long workshop for women vendors in Pfutsero town on November 26.

A press note by EA stated that the program was a continuation of the “uplifting women street vendors” project being undertaken by EA and conceptualised to reach out to individuals involved in bridging the rural village economies with the urban centres.

EA has therefore undertaken this novel initiative of connecting with women vendors who form a large section of the local workforce to understand their plight while also training them on financial literacy and management, provide credit linkages, inform them about their legal rights and link them to health care providers

to alleviate their living standards.

The event held at Mission Centre of the Chakhesang Baptist Churches Council began with a devotional session which addressed issues concerning women. Speaking to the gathering, Vechulou Kanuo, secretary of CWWS encouraged women to give their best and stressed that they formed a very important link in the economic chain of the state.

Reiterating the importance of the women vendors who were the guardians of the indigenous economy Neikule Doulo, master franchisee, Aloha Mental Arithmetic also impressed upon on them their contributions to the local trading scene. Highlighting the dire need for Nagas to get more involved in entrepreneurial activities she encouraged the women to be the torch bearers in their families and society.

A detailed input on the need to save and why they should take it up was provided by Welhikro Mero, branch manager, EA Phek. He also introduced the various thrift programmes available under EA’s cooperative wing, EATACOL and encouraged them to participate in some of them.

About 60 women vendors from different marketing areas of the town participated in the first phase of the initiative at Pftusero.

The interactions with these vendors also highlighted many difficulties faced by them regularly as they worked under the harshest of working conditions.

The women therefore suggested that the state machinery as well as organisations working in the development sector should take stock of their problems and come up with some positive measures to help them.

India-Myanmar media interaction prog in Imphal Correspondent

IMPHAL, Nov 27: The two-day ‘Inter-Regional Media Interaction Programme between Myanmar and India’ began Monday at Sangai Hall, Hotel Imphal. 11 journalists from the neighbouring country are taking part in the progamme which is being hosted

by Manipur government.

Addressing the inaugural function, Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh said that the interaction programme has marked the beginning of a new chapter in the bilateral relation between the two neighbouring countries.

“The programme would definitely bring about a deeper people to people connection, love and friendship amongst the people of the two great nations,” he said. In a democracy, media should be strengthened so that it may play a crucial role in delivering good governance to the people and creating good civic sense among the masses, he added. While expressing happiness that the two countries had agreed to encourage cooperation between Press Council of India and Myanmar Press Council, Singh said, “This is the testimony of acknowledging the importance of the role played by the media in fostering ties and supporting democracy by the two countries.”

This would encourage exchange of ideas between journalists and promote better understanding in political and economic de-

velopments in India and Myanmar, he added. He further said that he has a firm belief that bilateral relations between the two sides can be enhanced through ‘people-to-people connectivity’ though giving emphasis to diplomatic channels is also equally important. The chief minister expressed hope that the media delegates would explore more about the potentials of the state (Manipur) during their stay in the state.

Manipur chief secretary RR Rashmi, commissioner (IPR) K Radhakumar and convener of State Level Committee for Actualisation of Act East Policy RK Shivachandra attended the function as dignitaries.

Eleven media persons from Myanmar, two representatives from Press Council of India (PCI) and one representative each from Press Association, Indian Journalist Union (IJU) and Editor Guild of India and a number of renowned and senior journalists of the state are taking part in the interaction programme.

Topics relating to cooperation and understanding between Myanmar and India media, role of media in promoting India’s Act East Policy etc will be discussed.

The programme is being organised by DIPR, government of Manipur in collaboration with State Level Committee for Act East Policy in Manipur under the sponsorship of Manipur Tourism.

Guwahati, Nov 27 (PTI): Four persons sustained injuries when they tried to disrupt an eviction drive at Amchang Wildlife Sanctuary in Guwahati Monday, police said.

The eviction drive was conducted for clearing forest land from encroachers, as per the directions of the Gauhati High Court. The four were injured when police burst teargas shells when they attempted to obstruct the operation, said an Assam Police press release.

Protesting settlers in Nabajyoti Nagar inside the sanctuary attempted to obstruct the eviction operation in a major way and pelted stones injuring a photographer of the Forest Department, said the release.

To disperse the protestors, police resorted to bursting of tear gas shells

and four persons, including three women were injured, police said.

The release claimed that leaders of the Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS) leaders instigated the people to obstruct the eviction drive.

The injured were admitted to Gauhati Medical College Hospital where they were stated to be out of danger, police said.

The eviction drive faced stiff opposition when women of the area lay on the ground in a bid to prevent the operation inside the wildlife sanctuary.

A huge number of state police, central paramilitary forces along with Kamrup (Metro) district administration and forest department personnel conducted the eviction using more than 15 elephants, bulldozers and

Tausang church platinum jubilee celebration Correspondent

IMPHAL, Nov 27: Tausang Baptist Church in Manipur’s Noney district will be celebrating its platinum jubilee on December 29.

The celebration committee has invited all who hails from Tausang village under Nungba sub-division, Noney district and who are inheritances by default of marriage (daughters) to join the celebration. “The moment to reconcile the root, you are therefore requested to submit a token of Rs 5 per head on account to know the descendants and the number of population of our village,” a release of the jubilee celebration committee stated.

“For us, Ramayana, Mahabharata and Puaranas are great works of history.

Even Ram Setu is often treated as mythological.

But research has shown it is a human-made structure,” senior functionary of BISSA, Hemanta Dhing Mazumdar, said.

The “theory” of Aryan invasion, Mazumdar added, is the most visible distortion.

“This theory of Aryan invasion is being taught right from the school days, and it has got entrenched in our minds without investigating whether this theory is right or wrong. Our task is to prove it wrong,” he said.

At the regional level, the saffron brigade has already embarked on its project to “create awareness” about the “glorious history” of the northeast.

“Our organization is doing a lot of work on the history of the northeast and eminent historical figures from the region. Our effort is to create a sense of national consciousness. The history written by others does not have this perspective,” Surinder Hans, national secretary of BISSA’s national-level unit, Akhil Bharatiya Itihas Sankalan Yojana, said.

Later, on the sidelines of the conference, Chakraborty said Indian history is being “distorted” by giving too much space to “invaders” who ruled “Bharat”, rather than the “indigenous” rulers in India’s “glorious past”.

“The present historiography speaks more about India’s subjugation,” he added.

IMPHAL, Nov 27: Normal vehicular movement along the Imphal-Dimapur section of NH-2 was severely hit owing to a dawn to dusk bandh call given jointly by civil society organizations and women organizations in Senapati district.

The bandh was called to voice protest against the failure of the authority concerned in arresting those involved in the alleged rape of a school going minor girl on August 1, 2017 in Senapati district.

The alleged rapist, Kh Kasinba (50) of Karungmuan (Nungtek) of Noney district, who was put on wanted list in September, is still at large.

The bandh which commenced from 6 am in the morning concluded at 6 pm Monday evening.

As per the press statement given by the Naga Students Union Bangalore, it was informed that 24-yr-old Sosem Zimik, from Tangkhul Naga tribe, Manipur, working in Mud pipe, Cunningham Road was stabbed by 4 people who came with 2 bikes from his back. Sosem was reportedly staying with his sisters in Austin Town, Bangalore.

The incident took place on his way back from work at around 12:50 am last night. After the incident, he was immediately rushed to St. Philomena Hospital.

“The intention of the 4 people was to get mobile phone and money. It was a robbery”, said the victim later.

An FIR was lodged at the Ashok Nagar police station. Shashadar SD, the inspector of Ashok Nagar police department assured that he would take immediate action against the criminals.

GUWAHATI, Nov 27 (Agencies): While the battle over “historical distortions” in ‘Padmavati’ rages across the country, RSSaffiliated historians have advocated for a “shift” in the approach to historiography of the northeast that can inspire “rashtriya chetna” (national consciousness).

“It is time to rewrite India’s history. We had such a glorious past. Unfortunately, it never gets the attention it deserves. It is the same case with Assam. Our ancient state, known as Pragjyotishpur, earned repute for several achievements in astrology and other fields.

We had great rulers like Kumar Bhaskar Barman.

Before beginning the eviction operation, the administration officials through public address systems urged the settlers to remove their belongings and move away. The settlers refused to oblige and launched a protest against the drive.

The protestors claimed they were forced to relocate to the forest as their homes in upper Assam’s Lakhimpur, Dhemaji and Majuli districts were washed away by river Brahmaputra.

Claiming they were not given prior notice, the encroachers asked the district administration to provide them with alternative accommodation before evicting them.

Forest Minister Prami-

la Rani Brahma assured the protestors that the government would look into their claim about their homes being washed away by erosion.

She said she had recently visited Lakhimpur, Dhemaji and Majuli districts.

“These people have not occupied those areas in their own districts. Therefore, some forces have shown the Amchang to the encroachers who have cleared forests and sold land there,” Brahma said.

She added that the eviction drive will be carried out for three days.

Meanwhile, a release from the administration of Kamrup (Metro) district that comprises Guwahati city, said for the Amchang Wildlife Sanctuary eviction drive, it engaged 20 Executive Magistrates, 1,500 police personnel including officials with supporting personnel, representatives from public sector electric supply company, SDRF, besides forest department personnel, District Administration Health and other emergency services.

Altogether, 408 structures were demolished today.

Demanding the Amchang eviction be called off, an upper Assam bandh was called today by the Takam Mising Porin Kebang and All Mising Students’ Union along with 18 other tribal organisations, affecting normal life there, sources said.

Govt releases white paper on data protection framework

New Delhi, Nov 27 (IANS): The governmentappointed committee of experts, under the chairmanship of former Supreme Court Justice B.N. Srikrishna, on Monday released the white paper for data protection framework for India.

The paper has raised some key questions to the stakeholders like “What are your views on what the territorial scope and the extra-territorial application of a data protection law in India?”

“To what extent should the law be applicable outside the territory of India in cases where data of Indian residents is processed by entities who do not have any presence in India?”

“Instrumentally, a firm legal framework for data protection is the foundation on which data-driven innovation and entrepreneurship can flourish in India.

Fostering such innovation and entrepreneurship is essential if India is to lead its citizens and the world into a digital future committed

Justice B.N. Srikrishna. to empowerment, experiment and equal access,” it said.

“A carefully formulated data protection law is necessary for fulfilling both these objectives. It is our Committee’s view that the law we draft must be cognisant of international and comparative practices in this regard,” it added.

The white paper has been drafted to solicit public comments on what shape a data protection law must take.

“The white paper outlines the issues that a

majority of the members of the Committee feel require incorporation in a law, relevant experiences from other countries and concerns regarding their incorporation, certain provisional views based on an evaluation of the issues vis-a-vis the objectives of the exercise, and specific questions for the public.

“On the basis of the responses received, the Committee will conduct public consultations with citizens and stakeholders shortly to hear all voices that wish and need to be heard on this subject,” it added.

The paper said a data protection framework in India must be based on seven principles -- technology agnosticism, holistic application, informed consent, data minimization, controller accountability, structured enforcement and deterrent penalties.

It further asked: “What measures should be incorporated in the law to ensure effective compliance by foreign entities inter alia when adverse orders

SSSUD condemn assault, no sand bandh D I M A P U R , N OV 2 7 (NPN): Sand Stockiest & Supplier Union Dimapur (SSSUD) has condemned the Sand Mohalder and Supplier Association Manja (SMSA) for the assault on the drivers of four Nagaland registration dumpers on November 24, at 9:30 PM by Pawan Pancho and party.

In a press release signed by SSSUD president, Vinihi Shohe and general secretary, Nito Sumi, the SSSUD appreciated S.P of Diphu and O.C at Manja, Karbi Anglong for promptly arresting the culprits.

The SSSUD said that the SMSA may claim to be ‘mohalders’ but they do not have any mohal, while they only extorted money from the vehicles.

The SSSUD requested the Diphu S.P and district administration, not to release the culprits on bail and arrest the remaining culprits, since this was not the first time they, under the banner of SMSA, had threatened the sand traders.

The press release said that the “main ring leaders” of the group causing problems were Jackson Karmsa, Pawan Pancho and Welson Tisso.

The release listed a series of 7 incidents, including the dates, and the

registration numbers of the vehicles, where drivers of many Nagaland registered dumpers were assaulted at various locations; the skull of a driver was fractured in one instance and sand was unloaded from a vehicle in another.

The Sand Stockiest & Supplier Union Dimapur appreciated the affected vehicle owner for filing the FIR at Manja Police Station and encouraged the owner not to withdraw the FIR. The SSSUD assured of their full co-operation till the SMSA syndicate was removed from NH-39 at Manja.

Regarding the reports of an indefinite bandh of sand import in Nagaland, the SSSUD has asked that the suppliers not panic, since the culprit had been arrested and they can go on with business as usual.

PM Modi as a marketing expert

NEW DELHI Nov 27 (AGENCIES): Congress on Monday hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks where he had accused the Congress of resenting his humble background by calling the PM an expert in marketing.

Terming the Prime Minister’s repeated mention of his modest background as a “sympathy gaining exercise before the elections”, leader of the opposition Mallikarjun Kharge said, “Narendra Modi is an expert in marketing. When a person holds a post, discussions are done on his performance and not his economic status. He is saying such things to gain sympathy ahead of the election.”

O n M o n d ay, t h e Prime Minister while speaking at an election rally in Gujarat had accused the opposition party of being anti-poor and said that Congress resents him because of his modest background.

The accusations made many in the Congress launch a counter-attack on the Prime Minister.

(civil or criminal) are issued against them?”

The paper stated the definition of personal information or personal data is the critical element which determines the zone of informational privacy guaranteed by a data protection legislation.

“Thus, it is important to accurately define personal information or personal data which will trigger the application of the data protection law.”

In the 243-page document, it also asked: “Should the definition of personal data focus on identifiability of an individual? If yes, should it be limited to an ‘identified’, ‘identifiable’ or ‘reasonably identifiable’ individual?”

It said while personal data refers to all information related to a person’s identity, there may be certain intimate matters in which there is a higher expectation of privacy.

“Such a category widely called ‘sensitive personal data’ requires precise definition.”

AKK expresses concern over border tension D I M A P U R , N OV 2 7 (NPN): Aghunaqa Kukami Kuqhakulu (AKK) comprising of 38 villages under Nuiland sub-division expressed its resentment over the tension allegedly being created

by Assam government in the recent past.

Narrating the incident, AKK president, Mughavi Awomi claimed that on November 10, Assam police and forest personnel had entered Luhezhe village and took over the village mill, shouting various slogans in the middle of the village.

O n N ove m b e r 2 2 , Awomi alleged that a group of people had come and burnt the effigy of the Prime Minister of India.

He said adding to tensions, “the border magistrate of Assam without the knowledge of Nagaland chief minister visited Aghunaqa area when preparations for inauguration of Aghunaqa GBs trophy was going on” and reported back to the Assam government.

Awomi alleged that the official had wrongly reported the matter, which was also published in visual media of Assam, alleging that Nagas were trying to occupy the land of Assam.

In this regard, an emergency meeting was called by Assam government on November 22 at Rengmapani, where DIGs (Border) of both Assam and Nagaland,

SPs of both states, designated officers, army officials and GBs of Aghunaqa Area Assam border attended.

Though the meeting ended successfully, he said the outcome of the meeting was once again misinterpreted, leading to the visit of Assam minister along with MP, BJP president and leaders of Golaghat on November 25 in Aghunaqa area, Awomi stated.

He expressed apprehension that if such situation continues, it would hamper the friendly relations between the two states and also create more tension and havoc among the people, which could “lead to chaos and destruction.”

ZSUN demands teacher exams

DIMAPUR, NOV 27 (NPN): Zeliangrong Students’ Union Nagaland (ZSUN) has issued an ultimatum to the education department, to conduct the examinations for the post of nine primary teachers on or before November 30, failing which the union said it would take its own course of action.

Informing of this in a press note, ZSUN president Asappe Zeliang and general secretary Francis Newmai said that union had submitted an ultimatum to the School Education minister on the November 20, in regard to the nine posts of primary teachers which was advertised, for indigenous inhabitants of Peren district.

ZSUN said that they appreciated the department for honouring the demand for removal of non-indigenous primary teachers in Peren district and subsequent advertisement of the vacancies thus created.

However, ZSUN said that they failed to understand why the department could not honour its own office and advertisement, since it had failed to hold the exam despite repeated appeals by the union and the public of Peren.

ZSUN said such an action was misleading and unbecoming of a responsible department tasked with educating the future of the state.

CPCB prohibits roadside RALH appeals to SDO(C) storage of construction material

New Delhi, Nov 27 (IANS): The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) on Monday issued guidelines prohibiting the sale, storage, loading and unloading of construction material on the roadside.

Asserting that dust emissions from construction impacted the environmental quality both “on-site and offsite”, the CPCB following the National Green Tribunal’s (NGT) directions came up with the fresh guidelines for construction and demolition activities. The green court’s directions came in the wake of alarming pollution levels here after which construction activities were banned for a week from November 7 onwards.

Under the fresh guidelines, the CPCB also ordered the identification of the transport routes for carrying construction material or wastes “to avoid residential, schools, institutional and hospital areas”.

The CPCB also said that demand for construction material at the site should synchronize with its utilization, so that the storage period of unused construction material is minimal, thereby reducing

Central Pollution Control Board. dust dispersal.

“Loading, unloading (dumping), storage and sale of construction material for use in on-going projects on public roadsides is prohibited,” read the CPCB report on addressing dust pollution during handling of construction material and construction and demolition (C&D) wastes, on-site and off-site. The report also suggests vacuum sweeping to replace dry-sweeping, and water sprinkling, among other measures.

“Dumping (unloading) and disposal of C&D wastes on non-designated sites (ex-roadsides, vacant plots, water bodies, drains etc) be prohibited,” the report stated.

To control off-site emissions caused by the C&D activities, CPCB directed all builders and contractors to submit an undertaking to

the concerned government department on measures adopted to control dust.

The CPCB guidelines also asked the contractors to display on boards at the construction sites that they have adopted the dust control measures.

“Contractors, builders, sellers, related stakeholders prohibited from storing, dumping, C&D wastes, construction material on metalled (pucca) roads as it obstructs traffic flow -- a case of encroachment inviting penalties,” the report stated.

The report said that dust generated during handling, both loading and unloading of construction materials, would release a wide range of particle sizes and material types that could affect health and cause problems ranging from eye, nose and throat irritation besides affecting the respiratory system.

DIMAPUR, NOV 27 (NPN): Ralan Area Lotha Hoho (RALH) has written to the SDO (Civil) Ralan cum border magistrate, C sector Uriamghat to initiate immediate corrective and preventive measures on issues of wrong information published in Assam and information they received about issues to possibly arise soon at the border.

In an application signed by RALH chairman, Hayithung Kikon and general secretary, C. S Ovung, they called attention to the recent press statement in the Assam Sentinel on November 22, where it had published the name ‘Hoki village’ as falling under Wokha district.

RALH asserted that no such village exists un-

der Wokha. The publication had also alleged that the Nagas have been harassing the non-locals in areas such as L. Chekayan (Chainpur 1 & 2), New Chandalashung (Kamalpur, Rajapukhuri and Roman Basti) and Jandalashung B (Chetiagaon); the RALH called these non-founded allegations.

A l s o, R A L H i n formed the SDO that they had received information from reliable sources that a certain group of non-locals were planning to forcibly erect a boundary stone, pillars/flag in the DAB within the next few days.

They asked the SDO to verify the matter and take immediate corrective actions and preventive measures in the interest of the Lothas/Nagas as a whole.

Interfaith travails

or several days, Indian national mainstream media has been giving a hype to the case of a Hindu girl who converted to Islam and married a Muslim boy of her choice; or as was being made out, was enticed to be married to be converted for recruitment into terrorism. Born Akhila Ashokan, Hadiya married Shafin Jahan without her family’s consent last December. Her father, retired military man Ashokan KM, approached the high court in May, alleging in his petition, that there was a “well-oiled systematic mechanism” for conversion and Islamic radicalisation that had trapped his daughter. The Kerala HC struck down Hadiya and Shafin’s marriage, calling it a “sham”, but the husband moved the Supreme Court, which in its last hearing on October 30 said Hadiya’s consent as an adult is “prime”. In the present case, Hadiya reportedly got interested to Islam and converted to the religion much before she met and married Shafin Jahan, who informed the Court that the couple met each other through a matrimonial website. Hadiya said her conversion to Islam was a result of her own decision, as she reiterated this in a latest video released on August 17. Since then on, Hadiya was put under extreme mental agony and portrayed as a victim of ‘Love Jihad’ by the national media. Many news organisations, reported that it was a case of ‘love jihad’. The argument that there is a well-planned conspiracy going on to seduce young women and marry them to ‘increase’ the number of one religion, or to ‘use’ them in any criminal activity like terrorism is debatable. The case has drawn the attention of various sections of people and has been highly communalised. While one side argues that an educated adult’s right to her own body and life was curtailed and her fundamental rights were violated, the other side argues that she was brainwashed and a larger conspiracy is there behind her conversion and subsequent marriage. There will be people on both sides who disagree over the case as the dichotomy over inter-faith marriages can be quite sensitive and divisive. At the heart of the matter is whether Hadiya’s parents have the power to override her decision. The Union government has said parental authority can be invoked in cases where someone is manipulated or indoctrinated. The Supreme Court said that before examining the love jihad issue, it would like to ascertain if Hadiya had voluntarily converted to Islam. In her statements, Hadiya had said she only wanted to be free and live with her husband. She denied any conspiracy to lure her into marriage for conversion into Islam. What is also quite interesting about the case is the involvement of the National Investigation Agency(NIA) whose primary objective is to probe terrorism-related cases. By acting in such a way the premier anti-terror probe agency has degraded itself by restricting itself to plotting agenda for its political masters. In fact Hadiya has taken terrible psychological pressures brought on by the state the NIA, the right wing extremists, the patriarchs and “nationalist news channels”. It is morally and constitutionally wrong to treat inter-faith marriages as crimes at time when India wants to project itself as an emerging and progressive nation. Such cases only contribute to the image of an intolerant India.

DailyDevotion The Consecration of Spiritual Power …by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. —Galatians 6:14 If I dwell on the Cross of Christ, I do not simply become inwardly devout and solely interested in my own holiness— I become strongly focused on Jesus Christ’s interests. Our Lord was not a recluse nor a fanatical holy man practicing self-denial. He did not physically cut Himself off from society, but He was inwardly disconnected all the time. He was not aloof, but He lived in another world. In fact, He was so much in the common everyday world that the religious people of His day accused Him of being a glutton and a drunkard. Yet our Lord never allowed anything to interfere with His consecration of spiritual power.

It is not genuine consecration to think that we can refuse to be used of God now in order to store up our spiritual power for later use. That is a hopeless mistake.

The Spirit of God has set a great many people free from their sin, yet they are experiencing no fullness in their lives— no true sense of freedom. The kind of religious life we see around the world today is entirely different from the vigorous holiness of the life of Jesus Christ. “I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one” (John 17:15). We are to be inthe world but not of it— to be separated internally, not externally (see John 17:16).

We must never allow anything to interfere with the consecration of our spiritual power. Consecration (being dedicated to God’s service) is our part; sanctification (being set apart from sin and being made holy) is God’s part. We must make a deliberate determination to be interested only in what God is interested. The way to make that determination, when faced with a perplexing problem, is to ask yourself, “Is this the kind of thing in which Jesus Christ is interested, or is it something in which the spirit that is diametrically opposed to Jesus is interested?”

Quotes

The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness. ~ Honore de Balzac

I

n the ancient world, humans were not just close to animals but, in most cases, deeply dependent on them. Since they were part of the local culture, they could not be separated from religion. So there was a willingness to use animals as gods. As time went on, humans fused with animals in all the major religions as a way to get beyond human limitations. Animals were, and are, seen as wiser, more mysterious, with access to secrets in nature that are hidden to humans. They gave added meaning to the divine. They were stronger, faster, could live in the sea or air, had abilities and senses that the human could not even aspire to. So they made the divine so much more than the mere superhuman. The Indians, Greeks, Mesopotamians and Egyptians led the way, but every culture, strangely enough, used the same animals to represent the same powers: The bull and the lion represent power and protection, the cow represents love and giving, the snake is the creator of the world, the birds are seductresses.

The Echidna is a cave dwelling half woman-half snake who is the mother of all monsters of Greek mythology. On the other hand, Nuwa of Chinese folklore is the goddess who created mankind and repaired heaven. Nureonna, the Japanese half woman-snake, is amphibious and wants to be left alone, but will suck the blood from her victim’s body if disturbed. The Hatuibwari

of the Soloman Islands has the head of a human, four eyes, clawed arms, bat wings and the body of a snake. The belief is that he created and nourished all living things as the male version of Mother Earth. In Egyptian mythology, the cobra headed Meretseger, meaning “she who loves silence”, exerted great authority and was considered to be both a dangerous and merciful goddess. She spat venom at anyone who tried to vandalise or rob the royal tombs. Gorgons were women with snakes instead of hair. In Greek mythology their powerful gaze could turn one to stone.

In Sumeria, Kusarikku had a human head and torso, with bovine ears and horns and hindquarters and is known as the Bull Man. He is a door keeper to protect the inhabitants from malevolent intruders and evil spirits. He is associated with the God of Justice.

The Lamassu is a Mesopotamian protective deity encompassing all life, depicted with a human head, a body of a bull or a lion, and bird’s wings. Large Lamassu figures, spectacular showpieces in Assyrian sculpture, are the largest figures known to have been made.

They represent power and protection and are placed at entrances in palaces. Unfortunately, the Lamassu now represents the International Xenotransplantation Association, a collection of companies/scientists who are trying to make animal organs fit to be transplanted into humans.

Nagaland Post, Dimapur Tuesday, November 28, 2017

Without animal magic Montu is the Egyptian god of war with the head of a bull and the body of a human. Egypt’s greatest general-kings called themselves Mighty Bulls, the sons of Montu. Mentuhotep, a name given to several pharaohs, means “Montu is satisfied”.

In Greek tradition a Sphinx is a mythical creature with the head of a human and the body of a lion and sometimes the wings of a bird. Those who cannot answer its riddle are killed and eaten. Unlike the Greek sphinx, the Egyptian sphinx is male, benevolent, with a ferocious strength. Both are guardians flanking the entrances to temples and tombs Each of these Egyptian Gods has the head of a lion.

Maahes is an ancient Egyptian lion-headed god of war, protection, and weather, knives, louses, and devouring captives. Pakhet is a lioness headed deity associated with flash floods. Sekhmet is a warrior goddess as well as the goddess of healing.

It was said that her breath formed the desert. She was seen as the protector of the pharaohs. Tefnut is the goddess of moisture, moist

air, dew and rain. Married to her brother Shu, she is mother of Nut, the sky and Geb, the earth.

One of the Hindu god Vishnu’s incarnations was Narasimha, the lion faced and clawed being, who came to destroy evil and religious persecution by defeating the demon kings Hiranyakashipu and Hiranyaksha.

Pratyangira, also known as Narasimhi, is a Hindu goddess who has the head of a lioness. She is an aspect of Durga. In the Ramayana, the son of Ravana, Indrajit was performing the “Nikumbala yagya” (a sacred ritual to worship Prathyangira) while Rama’s army was waging war in Lanka. Hanuman came down to stop this ritual because he knew that if Indrajit completed it, he would become invincible. In some temples Pratyangira Devi Havan is performed on no moon (amavaas) day.

The Egyptian Hathor, the cow headed goddess, personifies the principles of joy, feminine love, music, dance and motherhood.

Bat, meaning soul, is also an Egyptian Goddess with the horns and ears of a cow. She is associated with the musi-

cal instrument called the sistrum, one of the most frequently used sacred instruments in Egyptian temples.

Bat is similar to Hathor except that Bat’s horns curve inwards and Hathor’s curve outward.

Anubis is the African golden wolf (previously thought to be dog or jackal) headed Egyptian god of death, mummification and the god who ushered souls into the after-life. Bastet is the cat-headed Egyptian goddess of warfare and the protector of cats. Khepri is the famous dung beetle (scarab) headed Egyptian God. Like the scarab pushes dung in a perfect ball before him using his horns, Khepri pushes the sun across the sky down into the underworld, from where it emerges the next morning. The word Kheper means ‘to come into being’ and the god is associated with rebirth and renewal and the sun at daybreak.

Tawaret, meaning the Great One, is the hippopotamus-headed Egyptian Goddess of childbirth and fertility. The ibis-headed Egyptian God Thoth maintains the universe, arbitrates godly disputes and judges the dead, handles the arts of magic, the system of writing and the development of science.

Japanese mythology has a warrior god named Amida who has a human body with a dog’s head.

The Japanese Tanuki is a badger or raccoon who can turn into a human and trick people by impersonat-

ing Busshist monks. The fox-like creatures, known as Kitsune, also possess similar powers, and they trick men into marriage by turning into seductive women.

In Chinese Mythology Chu Pa-chieh is a divine being who, because of his licentiousness in heaven, is sent to earth with the head of a pig and the body of a man. He kills his family and preys on travellers until he is turned to the path of virtue by the goddess Kuan Yin. He then becomes a priest.

(We have a similar story of Valmiki, the author of the Ramayan). Khnum, the ram-headed Egyptian God, is the god of the source of the Nile River and the creator of the bodies of human children, which he makes at a potter’s wheel from clay, and places in their mothers’ wombs.

The crocodile-headed Egyptian God, Sobek is associated with pharaonic power, fertility, and military prowess, but serves additionally as a protective deity against the dangers presented by the Nile river.

In the modern world, most of the religions have abandoned the concept of man-animal divinities. Our Gods now are purely anthropomorphic. Even the new Goddesses that are added to the Hindu pantheon, like Santoshi Maa who was created in the seventies, are just simply divine women without any animal magic at all.

Post-mortem Poverty among the rich in India: A contrast The blame game is over, 2018 our chance

ndians got wealthier faster than peers in most countries, yet, inequality remains stark. According to the report, “While wealth has been rising in India, not everyone has shared in this growth.

There is still considerable wealth poverty, reflected in the fact that 92 per cent of the adult population has wealth below $10,000,” Credit Suisse Research Institute’s Report,2017 said.

Total wealth here has risen four-fold between 2000 and 2017, reaching$5 trillion in mid-2017. Wealth in India has grown 9.2 per cent per annum, faster than the global average of 6 per cent even when taking into account population growth of 2.2 per cent annually. That’s a yearly rise of 9.9 percent, second only to the 10.1 percent growth seen in the U.S. Share of wealth fails to match the population share as the population share exceeds the wealth share by a factor of almost 10 in the country. The average wealth per adult here is estimated at $5,980 in mid-2017.

Wealth in India grew 9.9% in the past 12 months to touch $5 trillion in mid-2017, Credit Suisse Research Institute’s 2017 Global Wealth Report showed. India’s wealth growth of $451 billion is the 8th largest wealth gain globally by any country.

The number of millionaires in India grew 21.3% to reach 2, 45,000 in mid-2017, owning $988 billion. Among them, ultra high net worth individuals grew 41.5% to 1,820, which is ranked 14th globally India was the second-most unequal country in the world in terms of distribution of wealth. India not only has one of the highest levels of inequality in the region, but it also shows very large increases in inequality since 1990. Over the next 20 years, 500 people will hand over $2.1 trillion to their heirs -- a sum larger than the GDP of India, a country of 1.3 billion

people. In India, the richest 1% own 53% of the country’s wealth, according to the latest data from Credit Suisse. The richest 5% own 68.6%, while the top 10% have 76.3%. At the other end of the pyramid, the poorer half jostles for a mere 4.1% of national wealth. Indian millionaires control around 45% of total wealth in India.

Indians make up a chunk of the world’s poorest population, Residents of India are heavily concentrated in the lower wealth strata, accounting for over a quarter of people in the bottom half of the distribution, the poorest 10 per cent have seen their share of income fall by more than 15 per cent.” the Credit Suisse report said.

What needs to be done?

It is time to build a human economy that benefits everyone, not just the privileged few. Government must be employer and more jobs created for the poor. Others measures needs to be taken for reducing the inequality, such as more progressive taxation, introducing an inheritance tax, not reducing the corporate tax rates, increased spending in healthcare and education, and resurrecting small and medium enterprises. Income redistribution is achieved by fiscal policy mainly, but it does not limit itself to income transfers from the rich to the poor. In informal markets, fiscal incentives for poorer entrepreneurs can encourage them to enter the formal sector, provide social security for them, and they make easier to pay taxes according to status and profits. On the other hand, fiscal incentives for banks can encourage them to lend money to poor people, providing guarantees of payment and creating funding programmes targeted to the poorest deciles.

f we are honest to our votes, ultimately we do get good leaders. If we desire change to happen, we first need to be responsible for ourselves before we can be responsible for others. We have to keep in mind at all times that everything we do have something to do with our society.

For how long are we going to be trapped in the state of illusion? Isn’t time for us to retrospect how long and times have we been deceived by a package of empty vessels? Are we partially going to blame the govt. or put the whole of it into the state machinery. This fault involve both, the greed of public selling the right to vote and the corrupted leaders who paves his way for save heaven of wealth. The blame game is over. Time has taken away infrastructure development, jobs, public health and many more of our rights while we were busy playing blame games. The words that came out from the biggest tongue of politician has flown away into the air of pollution.

Nagaland is pregnant with corrupted leaders and it is the need of the hour to fight the good fight and breeds accountable authentic leaders. HURRAY! 2018 is knocking at our door and we all are aware of it. The General Election where we

get chance to choose the kind of government we want and the kind of leaders we need. Time is nearing and opportunity awaits us to decide the course whether to choose welfare state or a state of wretchedness. We must be ready by now and see beyond today’s challenges in order to facilitate transformation,2018 make the best choice. We may feel sticky now with corruption but it’s never too late to change as we are luckily not stuck.

With only few months to go for state General Election, the political propagandas are hovering round the clock and soon the campaign will be kick off by various political parties with attractive party manifesto vowing the public with development in every corner and employment opportunities for youth of all.

But we need to firmly decide what kind of leaders does Nagaland cries for at present. I believe Nagaland been had struggled alot for justice and good governance, one must have realised by now how important is to have a good leader to govern and administer the state of affairs. We need leaders who can lead by example and there is no place for a motivational speakers screaming in every political rally asking

‘Waking up the sleeping giant’

n the song “Sound of silence”

by Simon & Garfunkel they sang: “Hello darkness my old friend, I’ve come to talk with you again, ....... People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening, People writing songs that voices never share, And none dared disturb the sound of silence. ..... Silence like a cancer grow. Etc. Dear fellow citizens of Nagaland, the state government today is the sleeping giant, drunk with so many substances. This can be seen by all in front of your very eyes. Total system failures, total halt on all developments and total darkness of transparency in the working system. All we can see around us today is broken bridges, broken power supplies, broken roads, fully halted construction projects, debt ridden departments that cannot pay their employees salaries, and the job vacancies stolen by those in powers. The government of the day doesn’t seem to hear

the hues and cries of the masses because the giant is fast asleep without any feeling of remorse for its citizens. Everytime the citizens makes some hues and cries the sleeping giant moves it’s ears to make them believe that he is hearing, but he immediately goes back to sleep again.

On the other hand, we the Naga public are so used to watching this giant asleep that no one dare nor care to wake him up even though all of us know very well that it should not be allowed to do so.

Thousands of public vehicles are being damaged daily by the horrible road condition in the state, the cost of this damage will come to several thousand crores.

Now the dust from these roads are causing health problems to the core of our body system.

It has become normal for employees to serve ultimatum to the govt for release of their pending salaries, and the list goes on.

All these situations make one wonder as to: 1. What kind of degrees does our road and bridges Engineers hold that they could not ensure quality workmanship during construction of roads and bridges in our state?

2. What kind of technical knowledge and experiences do our builders hold that their construction works doesn’t last even a one tenth of the period which other states’ works can last?

3. Does our elected leaders know the true meaning of integrity?

Having said all these, looking back at ourselves, it is evident that we Nagas are getting too used to this ocean of corruption system that we hardly realise that we the public are being taken for a big funny ride by both the elected leaders and the bureaucrats in many occasions.

We seem to be too short sighted and our memories are shorter than that of a fish. We

really forget even before the very situation is calmed down. That is why our leaders know that we can be easily fooled, convinced and persuaded. Are you listening my dear fellow citizens?

But all hopes are not gone yet. We can see that some dedicated NGOs and individuals are working tirelessly towards making Nagaland a corruption free state. So instead of simply cursing and complaining day and night about our present day miseries, let us all join the anti corruption forces and lend a helping hand to make this beautiful land a better and safer place for all. A hundred mile journey begins with a single step.

Fellow citizens, it is high time to call spade a spade. Let us arise and build today. Let us fix the responsibility and accountability on each person accordingly.

God grant us wisdom and courage to stand for the truth!

us to wake up. Time has come for the leaders to show their skills in administration and governance instead of talking about big dreams and begging us to vote for them.

If the candidate say, I will provide employment to the youths, let us not hesitate to question them back. In what ways are they going to compensate employment?

What is the strategy to create jobs? How far can healthy competition be assured? Will priority be given to the competent and deserving one? Or will nepotism still overrule justice. With this thought in mind, let us adjudge the credibility of a candidate not by their theorist or achievements but how long is he ready to walk an extra mile for his people.

It is a fact that everyone wants good leaders but no one wants to be a good leader before money. Alas, this is Nagaland. Let us not repeat the same history. We all have taste and experience how bitter is to live under the roof of a corrupted government.

Good leaders can be made by our votes, let’s all do it together. 2018 our chance Kukhrunehu Sapuh, St. Joseph’s College, Jakhama

How long will the power outage last?

Sir,

It has already been about a week since the power department had promised that the transformer/s would be fixed. I don’t remember the department informing the public that the repairing works would last this long.

The past few days have been extremely difficult, especially for those living in rented houses. Now, students have to do their home works and study for their exams under the dimly lit candles. It is especially frustrating when foods in the refrigerators go stale and the buckets are empty. It definitely isn’t easy for the “have nots” and I only wish and pray this would be fixed as soon as possible.

SC sends Hadiya to Salem in TN to pursue her studies

Kerala woman Hadiya (centre) arrives to appear before the Chief Justice of India in the ‘love jihad’ case at the Supreme Court in New Delhi on November 27.

New Delhi, Nov 27 (AGENCIES): The Supreme Court on Monday recorded the consent given

by Hadiya alias Akhila to return to her college at Salem in Tamil Nadu and directed the college to allot her a hostel room where she can stay and complete her 11-month internship to become a homeopath.

“You have any dream

for the future?” Justice D.Y. Chandrachud asked Hadiya. “Freedom, release!” 25-year-old Hadiya replied.

This brief exchange was part of a prolonged interaction, mostly with Justice Chandrachud, covering a range of topics about Hadiya’s education and college life. Justice Chandrachud found that

she liked watching movies on her friend’s laptop in the rented house she shared with five other college mates; she was closest to her father; she made frequent trips to her native Vaikom in Kerala to visit her parents and cousins; and that she wanted “to live as a good citizen, but true to her faith.”

Finally, when the emphasis came on whether she wanted to return to her studies, Hadiya replied in Malayalam that “Absolutely. But first I must be considered a human being.” She said she was kept in “unlawful custody” for 11 months.

While the judges asked her questions in English, she replied in Malayalam, which senior advocate V. Giri translated for the Bench.

When Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra asked her whether she wanted a local guardian in Salem during her 11-month internship, Hadiya chose Shafin Jahan, who she had allegedly married after con-

verting to Islam.

The court took her out of the custody of her father, Asokan K.M., and ordered the Kerala Police to escort her back to college. The college was directed to provide her a hostel room where she would stay during the duration of her course. She would follow the hostel rules like any other inmate.

The court ordered that the dean of the college would apply to the apex court in case there are any problems. These problems do not include her studies and admission.

The court posted the case for hearing in the third week of January 2018. It kept open issues like NIA investigation and her alleged marriage.

But the three-hour long hearing initially saw an unsure Bench grappling with the issue. The judges appeared uncertain whether they should at all interact with Hadiya, who had travelled from Kerala and stood a few feet away from them.

Village guards’ mass prayer D I M A P U R , N OV 2 7 (NPN): Village Guards’ Association of Nagaland (VGAN) has announced that all its members will hold a mass prayer on December 3, 2017 (Sunday), at their respective places of worship in their respective church/ service timing.

Bank recap to lift GDP growth to 8 percent next fiscal: Report

Mumbai, Nov 27 (PTI): The economy is likely to clip at 8 per cent next fiscal as the massive bank recapitalisation will help revive the long-stalled credit demand and private investments, says a brokerage report.

According to Wall Street brokerage Goldman Sachs, the Rs 2.11-trillion bank recapitalisation announced by government last month and a likely recovery in earnings are also likely to drive up the stock markets and has set the Nifty target of 11,600 by next December.

“We project aboveconsensus real GDP growth of 8 per cent in 2018-19, while we see a growth of 6.4 per cent for 2017-18, as the negative impact from shocks (demonetisation and GST implementation) this year fade and the bank recap programme unlocks credit and private investment growth,” it said today.

It said CPI inflation is likely to rise above the mid-point of RBI target to 5.3 per cent in FY19 due to a pick-up in food and commodity prices, and so it expects RBI to hike policy rates by 75 basis points by mid-2019.

Ke e p i n g a “ ove r weight” view on the stock markets, Goldman Sachs chief Asia Pacific regional equity strategist Timothy Moe told reporters that, “Nifty is estimated to hit 11,600 by December 2018 from the current levels with earnings growth to be the key propellant”.

He also said the market is likely to generate 18 per cent returns in 2018 helped by the recently announced bank reforms. However, he cautioned that any delay in earnings growth can pose downside risks to this outlook. Economic activity could pick up in first half of 2018, said the report “as the

drag from the idiosyncratic shocks of demonetisation and GST implementation fade”.

“Four months into GST, our channel checks suggest that there are still some headwinds to activity due to uncertainties around the new tax system and an increased compliance burden,” it added.

However, it further noted that its discussions with retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers show that recent government announcements to ease compliance burden and reduced tax rates for nearly 200 products can boost activity over the next three to six months.

On the impact of the bank fund infusion, the report said it expects positive effects from the public sector bank recapitalisation to flow through the economy form the second half of 2018.

Banks credit provisions to rise to Rs 2.4-2.6tln for FY18:Icra

Mumbai, Nov 27 (PTI): Banks credit provisions are likely to surge to Rs 2.4-2.6 trillion in fiscal 2018 compared to Rs 2 trillion last year due to provisioning for IBC accounts and ageing of NPAs, says a report.

The recent amendments to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) will increase provisioning requirement for banks, according to a report by rating agency Icra.

It said increase in provisioning will result in higher losses for state-run banks during the year.

In the second quarter banks’ credit provisions rose to Rs 64,500 crore during the second quarter of the current fiscal, up by 40 per cent on a sequential basis and 30 per cent on a y-o-y basis.

“With the total exposure of Rs 3 trillion of accounts likely to be resolved Dimapur Chamber of Commerce and Industries (DCCI) president Akashe Zhimomi inaugurating the exclusive under IBC, the overall credit branded outlet “Khadim’s Showroom” at Station road, provisions are likely to be at Rs 2.4-2.6 trillion, including Dimapur on Monday. (NP)

impact of ageing on existing NPAs and provisioning on IBC accounts for FY18 as against Rs 2 trillion during FY17,” Icra’s group head (financial sector ratings), Karthik Srinivasan, said in a webinar today.

Last week the President gave his assent to the ordinance amending the IBC which keeps out those promoters who have willfully defaulted on their debt obligations or are habitually non-compliant and, thus are likely to be a risk to successful resolution of the insolvent company.

Srinivasan said with the recent amendments in IBC, the likelihood of the higher losses and a further increase in credit provisions appears to be a possibility.

“A limited resolution seen in the second list of stressed borrowers may also force banks to refer to these borrowers under IBC, further adding to the provisioning requirements,” he said.

He, however, said

while debarring defaulting promoters may add to shortterm pain for banks, it may discourage overleveraging by borrowers and is likely to be good for the overall credit culture in future.

The rise in credit provisions will result in losses before taxes of Rs 30,00040,000 crore for public sector banks (PSBs) during the current fiscal.

The bench observed that it was “an attempt to destroy a trained and skilled professional force through conspiracy”.

The BDR jawans had been accused of masterminding the mutiny plots, torturing and killing their officers, looting their belongings or keeping their family members captive during the rebellion.

They had also killed eight civilians, eight fellow BDR soldiers who apparently were opposed to the revolt and an army soldier apart from the 57 military officers.

down capital punishment to 152 and life term to 158 soldiers of the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR).

A bench yesterday started reading out the entire judgement on the death reference and appeal hearing of the trial of what is said to Bangladesh’s biggest ever criminal case.

A Dhaka court had awarded death penalty to 152 jawans and non-commissioned officers of the BDR, which was renamed as the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), in November 2013.

The court had sentenced 158 to life imprisonment, 251 to imprisonments up to 10 years for the February 25-26, 2009 carnage, when 74 people, including 57 military officers serving in the then Bangladesh Rifles (BDR), were killed.

Dhaka, Nov 27 (PTI): The Bangladesh High Court Monday upheld the death sentence of 139 and the life imprisonment of 146 convicted soldiers of the then Bangladesh Rifles over the killing of 74 people, including 57 Army officers, during the 2009 mutiny.

The judgement comes after the court started delivering the verdict yesterday in the death sentence of the total 152 convicted soldiers at the border guards’ headquarters here.

“One thirty nine will have to walk to gallows and 146 will be imprisoned for life,” attorney general Mahbubey Alam told a media briefing, quoting the long verdict delivered by a three-judge High Court bench.

The judgement comes four years after a lower court in Dhaka handed

resignation of Hamid, TLY chief Khadim Hussain Rizvi ordered his followers all over the country to end the sit-ins and go home.

“We have decided to end the protest after assurance by the army chief and an agreement with government,” he said at Faizabad interchange, where he was camping with over 2,000 supporters for last three weeks.

He said that law minister resigned and government agreed to take action against those who were responsible for making changes in the oath about finality of prophethood.

The right wing cleric, who parlayed life in Islamabad and neighbouring Rawalpindi, said his party was not in favour of violence. He said all of his supporters arrested during crackdown would be released by the government.

He also expressed anger at media for not showing his announcement live and threatened that media persons would not be allowed to leave the venue until his

persecution and violencerelated information from the Rohingya mobile network. They all, including our community’s media outlets, are being starved of information from Rakhine now,” the Guardian quoted Rafique as saying.

When riots broke out between Buddhists and Rohingya in Rakhine in 2012, the authorities deployed the military, with allegations surfacing that the Army committed human rights abuses in the Rohingya villages.

The Rohingya community leaders then set up the network of undercover citizen reporters, who began documenting incidents and sending reports out of the country, mostly for use by Rohingya media outlets.

Ko Ko Linn, a Bangladesh-based Rohingya community spokesperson, said 2,000 had been active in 2016.

Noor Hossain, 25, a former mobile reporter who fled to Bangladesh in early September, said they took extraordinary risks to gather information.

Phil Robertson, of Human Rights Watch, said: “With Rohingya reporters being absent on the ground, much of the eyewitness video and other information they provided has been lost... “It’s clear that the Myanmar military has been systematically committing atrocities against the Rohingya - but the community’s own monitors are not there to report it any more.”

announcement was shown on channels. But he later allowed reporters to go.

Meanwhile, government opened the Islamabad Expressway linking the capital with its only airport and thickly populated suburban areas along the highway.

The Murree Road has also been cleared but its link with Club Road is still not operational.

Local channels showed sanitary workers sweeping the roads and cleaning the area of garbage dumped by the protesters.

Radio Pakistan said that Hamid, the minister for law and parliamentary affairs, “voluntarily” presented his resignation to Abbasi to bring the country “out of a state of crisis”.

The protesters were demanding Hamid’s ouster over his alleged role for changes in the oath about finality of prophethood in the recently passed elections laws. They had linked the action to blasphemy -- a highly contentious issue in the Muslim-majority Pakistan.

Hamid said in resignation that the Election Act was formulated by a parliamentary committee comprising members belonging to all political parties.

According to the agreement, government would take back all cases against protesters and make public the probe regarding the changes in the oath and also punish those who were responsible for crackdown on protesters.

K-3928

Islamabad, Nov 27 (PTI): Pakistan’s hardline religious groups Monday called off their crippling sitin in Islamabad and several other cities after law minister Zahid Hamid resigned, meeting one of their key demands to lift the siege.

Hamid’s resignation comes in the aftermath of deadly clashes between security forces and protesters during the weekend, that claimed the lives of six people and injured over 100 others. The sit-in had paralysed the national capital for three weeks.

An official of the Prime Minister House confirmed that the law minister last night sent his resignation to Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, who accepted it. Hamid’s resignation cleared the main hurdle in the lifting of siege of the capital by protesters who demanded his removal for changes in a law related to the Khatm-i-Nabuwwat (finality of prohpethood) oath in the Elections Act 2017.

Activists of Tehreek-iKhatm-i-Nabuwwat, Tehreek-i-Labaik Ya Rasool Allah (TLY) and Sunni Tehreek Pakistan (ST) religious groups started protests three weeks ago. Official sources said an understanding was reached with protesters to call off the protest as their key demand had been accepted and the changes made in the law had already been taken back when parliament restored the original oath. Following the agreement and the subsequent

Nay Pyi Taw, Nov 27 (IANS): Reporters working inside Myanmars Rakhine state to document the Rohingya crisis have gone missing, raising fears that they have been deliberately targeted by the military, a media report said on Monday.

Young Rohingya volunteers had been secretly reporting on persecution of the Muslim minority in Myanmar since 2012, sending photos, videos and audio clips out of the country using smartphones, the Guardian report said.

Human rights groups have claimed the Myanmar military have killed and abducted many of the reporters to “sabotage” the networks and that there was now very little reporting on what is happening in the closed state of Rakhine.

Rohingya refugee Mohammad Rafique, who edits the Rohingya community news portal The Stateless, said that “over 95 per cent” of Rakhine’s mobile reporters had gone missing since the crackdown began.

“Security forces and Rakhine militia are still committing rapes, killings and arson in the Rohingya villages. But (as) the Rohingya mobile reporter network (is) dysfunctional there now, the detailed information of the violence, which we need to produce credible media reports, is not reaching us.

reamz Unlimited founder and director of the acclaimed Naga movie ‘Nana’, Tiakumzuk Aier has been awarded with ‘Best Director’ at the Edinburgh Festival of Indian Films and Documentaries (EFIFD) held from November 24 to 26 at Scotland.

Describing his reaction at being chosen for the prestigious award, Tiakumzuk in a brief chat with Nagaland Post said, “I was overwhelmed, surprised and ecstatic.

In fact I felt numb for a few minutes to take in the amazing news after my name was announced.” He added that he did not expect to bag the prestigious award after seeing at the other big budget films with superstars.

He also informed that comparatively, the screening of Nana got the highest number of audience and that everyone who heard about the movie was excited.

The main awards of the festival were Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor.

The Best Film award was bagged by a Marathi film titled ‘Kacha Nimbu’, while Pooja Sawant received the Best Actor award.

The panel of jury inclided Edinburgh Spanish Film Festival director-Marian A Arechaga, Scottish Centre of Tagore Studies director-Bashabi Fraser, Endinburg In-

ternational Film Festival depu t y artistic directorDiane Henderson and E d i n burgh Iranian Festival & Curator, Iranian Film Season trustee-Anna Montazam.

EDIFD recommended Nana movie as, “A significant ‘political film’ with warm local heart which fueses the subtle and minimalist satire-laced style of Iranian cinema, with the intimate-eye-for-familydetails of classic storytelling like Ozu. It marks the ascendency of a new directorial voice worth watching out for, in its three-film-old director Tia Aier.”

The film was screened on the final day of the festival at Grassmarket Community Project.Tiakumzuk said he was currently in Scotland for the award ceremony will be returning after the necessary formalities are completed.

hitting the winning runs to remain 82 not out off 182 balls in Australia’s 173 without loss.

In the process, they broke an 87-year-old Test record for the all-time highest unbeaten opening partnership in a successful Test chase.

The Australians only needed 56 runs on the final morning go one up after England imploded on Sunday’s fourth day.

It was Warner’s 25th Test fifty and ninth in the Ashes, while debutant Bancroft posted his first halfcentury in only his second Test innings.

England’s doleful defeat was played to the background sounds of the travelling Barmy Army supporters singing ‘We’ll Take the (Ashes) Urn Home’ in the sparsely-populated Gabba ground.

It was an attritional battle between the traditional rivals over the first three days of the Test, rais-

ing England’s hopes of a first win at the ground in just over three decades.

But skipper Smith’s match-defining unbeaten 141 over eight-and-a-half hours to give Australia a 26-run innings lead and Josh Hazlewood’s two late wickets on Saturday swung the momentum firmly Australia’s way.

England were knocked over for 195 off 71.4 overs, losing their last six wickets for 82, to set Australia an unthreatening target to chase down in the remaining four sessions of play.

Australia stretched their unbeaten record at their Gabba fortress to 29 years since their last defeat to Viv Richards’ West Indies team in 1988.

England have not won in Brisbane in 31 years, a stretch of eight Ashes Tests.

The five-Test series heads to Adelaide Oval for the first-ever Ashes daynight Test, starting on Saturday.

India beat SL by an innings & 239 runs Ashwin fastest to 300 wickets; Hosts take 1-0 lead

Indian bowler R Ashwin celebrates the wicket of Sri Lankan batsman Dasun Shanaka during the 2nd cricket test match played in Nagpur on Monday. (PTI)

has been working on his variations with India slated to play a number of away series next year.

“It’s not easy bowling spin, it looks like you’re just ambling up. But there’s a lot behind it.”

The tourists lost seven wickets in an extended morning session and India returned after lunch to complete the formalities.

Sri Lanka captain Dinesh Chandimal hit a defiant 61 and added 58 with Suranga Lakmal, who remained unbeaten on 31, to stretch the contest to the second session.

Paceman Umesh Yadav ended the partnership after the interval when Chandimal pulled one straight to Ashwin at fine leg. “ B e f o r e we c a m e here, we had a gameplan,” Chandimal said at the postmatch presentation. “We said to the guys ‘if you get a start, you have to bat long’.

But they scored only 50-60 runs and got out. It’s unfortunate but I’m sure they will learn.”

India defeated the islanders by a 9-0 margin across formats earlier this year and after the draw in the rain-affected opening test in Kolkata, things

were back to normal for the world’s top-ranked test side.

After resuming on 21-1, Sri Lanka kept India’s bowlers at bay for six overs before Dimuth Karunaratne was out on 18 to a freakish dismissal off left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja.

Lahiru Thirimanne played an irresponsible shot to a wide delivery from paceman Umesh Yadav to be caught at point for 23 in a further blow to Sri Lanka’s chances of resisting India.

Ashwin dismissed Dasun Shanaka, Dilruwan Perera and Rangana Herath before lunch and then bowled Lahiru Gamage to enter the record books.

India captain Virat Kohli, who was named player of the match for his 213 in the first innings, said the comprehensive win will boost his side’s confidence ahead of the tough tour of South Africa early next year.

Brief scores: Sri Lanka: 205 all out and 166 all out (Dinesh Chandimal 61, Suranga Lakmal 31; Ravichandran Ashwin 4/63, Ravindra Jadeja 2/28, Umesh Yadav 2/30, Ishant Sharma 2/43) vs India: 610/6 declared.

Lille, Nov 27 (Agencies): France won their 10th Davis Cup title after Lucas Pouille beat Belgium’s Steve Darcis in a decisive final rubber in Lille on Sunday. Pouille’s comfortable 6-3 6-1 6-0 victory gave the hosts a 3-2 win over their neighbouring rivals and a first title since 2001, following defeats in the final in 2002, 2010 and 2014.

France started the final day of singles with a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five tie, but David Goffin overcame Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 7-6 (7-5) 6-3 6-2 to take it to a decider.

Pouille, the world number 18, was never threatened by an opponent ranked 58 places below him and after taking the opening set, reeled off 12 unanswered games for an emphatic victory.

Pouille had been beaten convincingly by Goffin in Friday’s first singles tie, but shook off that defeat to swat Darcis aside in just one hour and 34 minutes.

It was a third victory as captain for Yannick Noah,

who returned for a third stint in charge in 2015 after two spells as skipper in the 1990s.

Noah, the last Frenchman to win a major tournament at the 1983 French Open, was vindicated in his selection after surprisingly picking Richard Gasquet to partner Pierre-Hugues Herbert for Saturday’s crucial doubles victory.

Belgian hopes of claiming a first title in the venerable competition rested with their in-form number

one Goffin, who downed Tsonga 7-6 (7-5) 6-3 6-2 after withstanding sustained early pressure.

World number seven Goffin, the runner-up to Grigor Dimitrov at the season-ending ATP Finals in London last weekend, snatched a 75-minute opening set with a blistering backhand return in the tiebreak.

Tsonga, who brought France level in Friday’s second singles with a crushing win over Darcis, then sur-

rendered his serve in the second set with a costly double fault as Goffin surged 4-2 ahead before seizing a twoset lead.

Goffin stormed to a double-break lead in the third set as Tsonga’s resistance crumbled and closed out the match with minimal fuss.

However, Darcis then quickly succumbed to Pouille’s onslaught to allow the French to begin celebrations in front of their delirious fans.
