Tension prevails in parts of Assam bandh CRIPPLES normal life; police detain over 1200 picketers

GUWAHATI, NOV 3 (PTI/AGENCIES): Tension prevailed in parts of Assam Saturday over the killing of five persons by unidentified gunmen at Tinsukia district even as the 12-hour Assam bandh call by some organisations over the killing evoked a mixed response across the state on Saturday.

Protestors squatted on railway tracks, pelted stones at vehicles and burnt tyres on roads in some districts of Assam during a 12hour state-wide bandh on Saturday, called to protest the gunning down of five men in Tinsukia district.

On Saturday, Assam police detained over 1200 protesters in the bandh, the impact of which was partial across the state barring Bengali-dominated Barak valley and a few places in Brahmaputra valley where normal life was considerably affected.

There was no impact of the bandh in state capital Guwahati where all establishments and vehicles functioned normally.

“1200 picketers detained across the state until now. We stand resolute on our promise of ensuring public order for the people of #Assam (sic),” the state police said on microblogging site Twitter.

Shops, business establishments, education institutions and private offices remained closed and most vehicles stayed off the roads in the Barak Valley districts of Cachar, Karimganj and Hailakandi due to the bandh which was called by the All Assam Bangali Yuba Chatra Federation, All Assam Bengali Students Union and some other like-minded organisations to protest the killings of five Bengalispeaking men, including three of a family, by gunmen at Kheronibari village on Thursday.

The bandh in Barak Valley was supported by Opposition Congress. The ruling BJP extended support to it in Hailakandi as per its district president Subrata Nath.

ment schools in the state. He said, “government teachers are well educated and well qualified but unfortunately the progress is not half of what private schools have produced.”

The growth of students depends on the attitude, mindset and concern the teachers have for them, and teachers can show the students that they are leaders of tomorrow, he asserted.

LONDON, NOV 3 (AGENCIES): Hackers have gained access to private messages of nearly 120 million Facebook accounts and already published such messages from 81,000 accounts for generating money, the BBC reported.

Several users whose details have been compromised were based in Ukraine and Russia but some were also from the UK, US, Brazil and elsewhere, the report said on Friday. “The hackers offered to sell access for 10 cents per account. However, their advert has since been taken offline,” it added.

The breach was first discovered in September and the messages were reportedly obtained through unnamed rogue browser extensions.

Facebook, however, said its systems were not breached as part of the hack. “We have contacted browser-makers to ensure that known malicious extensions are no longer available to download in their stores,” Guy Rose, Vice President of Product Management at Facebook, was quoted as saying.

ANPSA Dimapur unit celebrates Silver Jubilee DIMAPUR, NOV 3 (NPN): The two day Silver Jubilee celebrations of All Nagaland Private School Association (ANPSA) Dimapur unit got underway on Saturday at DDSC Stadium, Dimapur.

K.T. Sukhalu, advisor of School Education, graced the celebration as special guest and KK Chaudhury, director, CBSE Regional Office, Guwahati as the guest of honour.

Speaking at the celebration, Sukhalu congratulated ANPSA Dimapur unit for completing a milestone and also lauded private schools for contributing towards education in the state.

“The work of the private school is appreciable,” said Sukhalu while encouraging them to continue with the good work. Compared with other districts, he said private schools in Dimapur were doing much better.

Sukhalu also acknowledged the fact that private schools were doing much better than govern-

Cachar district SP, Rakesh Roushan said that, a team of SSB and police engaged in duty at Joypur area had immediately rushed to the area and recovered two persons in serious condition. “They succumbed to their injuries in hospital. We had recovered huge cache of arms and ammunition in possession from them,” SP said. Meanwhile, top officials of Assam police and other security agencies rushed to the area and launched combing operation to nab the fled militants.

‘Pvt messages of 81k FB users leaked online’

Enrolment in the government schools is decreasing while the enrolment in private schools is increasing and this is a huge responsibility for the ANPSA, said the special guest.

With the mushrooming of private schools in the state, Sukhalu reminded the gathering that educational institutions should not run only for profit making.

The institutions have to ensure

all round development of the children and make them leaders of the state and country.

While stating that children also needed extra-curricular activities and not only book knowledge, he urged school managements to create conducive environments for children to grow.

Sukhalu also brought up a trend which is allegedly ongoing now in private schools. “One disturbing trend is that priority is given to good students only and transfer certificates are being issued to weak students,” he said.

“If this is the case, I would like to request the management to look into it,” requested Sukhalu.

He pointed out that certain groups of students have advantage over others.

“Children from educated families and from poor families cannot be compared. Their exposure and mindsets are different” but these are factors that the teachers and management have to consider to bring out the best in students, he added.

NSCN (I-M) detains Army officer and jawans; alleges violation of CF

DIMAPUR, NOV 3 (NPN): MIP of NSCN (I-M) has revealed that a Lt.Col of the Indian army’s Signal regiment along with 16 personnel were detained and interrogated for about half an hour for violating Cease Fire Ground Rules by moving towards its Council Head Quarters Hebron on November 2 at around 4.30 p.m.

According to MIP, the officer was identified as Lt.Col. Mohd. Zabiulla (Army No.64304) of Signal Regiment at Zakhama. It said the convoy was moving in four Gypsies on its way from Rangapahar to Jalukie by using the route towards CHQ Hebron.

MIP said the column was stopped at the check gate near Hebron by Naga Army personnel, having been alerted about the movement of the Indian Army convoy. On interrogation, MIP said that the Officer (Cont’d on p-7) and personnel of the Signals

had claimed they had been following instructions given by passersby and had no idea that they were to cross the CHQ of the NSCN/GPRN. MIP wondered why the officer did not coordinate with various army units in and around Dimapur about taking which route. It pointed out that the Army convoy could have taken the Sukhovi village route where the Army had its training centre in order to connect Jalukie or the Niuland route used by public after landslide at NH 29 near Chumukedima.

MIP termed the incident as a “total negligence on the part of the Indian Army” which led to trespass on a sensitive area such as the “doorstep of the CHQ of the GPRN.” It said the entire convoy was cautioned about their trespass and set free in good faith after the armymen “admitted their serious mistake”.

Sinha said the workshop had been planned primarily to ensure that election officers at the ground level were adequately trained to identify persons with disabilities and ensure their enrollment in the electoral roll.

The CEO added that at present, only about 2500 PwDs were identified in the electoral roll which was low

compared to the population of the state. According to Sinha, there are various reasons for the low enrollment, major among them being apathy on the part of election officials when it came to making that extra effort to reach out to the PwDs. He also commented that the other reason could be the BLOs being not trained enough to properly identify PwDs. To eliminate these issues, the special educators being trained will later conduct elaborate training programs for BLOs so that they will be better equipped to identify and then enroll PwDs. Sinha thanked Disability Rights activist and State Icon (PwDs), Diethono Nakhro and the Commissioner of PwDs, Dr. Atha, for coming forward as resource persons because both of them had good experience

in issues concerning PwDs which, he said, would immensely benefit the participants.

The workshop was attended by 49 special educators and AEOs. Diethono Nakhro spoke on enabling participation of people with disabilities in the electoral process. She gave a short description about disabilities sating it is broadly divided into five categories: Physical disability, intellectual disability, mental illness, disability due to chronic medical conditions, and multiple disabilities. She also said that all citizens of India over the age of 18 have the right to vote including people who live with disabilities.

A second session was later held separately where the CEO and the district AEOs discussed general elections matters like EVM, conduct of elections, voters list etc.

DIMAPUR: Nagaland University (NU), Lumami organized a one-day workshop on “Eradicate Corruption – Build a New India” on November 2 at its I. Ihoshe Kinimi Hall.

NU-Lumami, PRO Peter Ki, in a press release stated that the workshop was held as a part of a series of activities prescribed for the observance of the Vigilance Awareness Week from October 29 to November 3.

Professor Pardeshi Lal, vice-chancellor, Nagaland University delivered the keynote address. He stated that the observance of the Vigilance Awareness Week was being observed with the goal of promoting integrity, transparency and accountability both in public and day-to-day life. He asserted that the observance of the vigilance awareness week should not be the end of the matter but rather, everyone should seriously introspect on

their actions and realize the need for honesty, integrity, transparency and accountability. Terming corruption as undue benefit for self or others, he said it had become a virus that was sapping the system of its vitality.

Giving the Vigilance speech, professor M.K. Sinha, finance officer, Nagaland University, lamented that everyone was vigilant about their rights but non-vigilant about their duties. No one is courageous enough to be honest, because there is a cost involved, sometimes even in the form of threats, he lamented. Thus there is no harmony between words and actions when it comes to corruption.

He opined that neither under-vigilance nor overvigilance is good because the former leads to corruption, the latter to a feeling of insecurity. Professor Sinha, however, ended on a positive note by saying

that real growth does not happen through corruption but only through honesty.

out that corruption was not only a problem among public officials but it has infected every sphere of society. Corruption has destroyed the moral fabric of the country, he said. But to eradicate corruption it must begin with the self.

He ended the speech by

quoting Mahatma Gandhi: “Be the change you want to see in the world”.

The program came to a close with the vote of thanks by professor Sangyu Yaden, controller of examinations in-charge, NU. The program was chaired by Peter Ki, PRO, NU.

CAN launches My Scholarship Foundation campaign Career and social awareness seminar Staff Reporter D I M A P U R , N OV 3 (NPN): Community Avenue Network (CAN) launched its “My Scholarship Foundation”, a campaign aimed at providing financial assistance to students who have dropped out of school due to financial constraints, at Tourist Lodge, Dimapur, on Saturday.

In her address as special guest, Naga Women Hoho Dimapur general secretary, Elis Swu challenged CAN Youth to look beyond the surface of the many schemes on offer today, adding that if people cared to dig deeper and see the reality, these schemes were generally enjoyed by a creamy layer of society. She also criticized the practice of forging certificates to claim financial benefits and advised CAN officials present to filter candidates and assist only the genuine ones.

Elis further pointed out that there were more drop outs from government schools, and the students in K Y M C

government schools generally comprise of domestic helpers.

As such, she added that it made it difficult for teachers to invest extra time on the students because if they try, guardians often call the teachers asking them why it was taking so long for the student to come back home.

Swu added that education should not merely teach how to read and write but make a person

more humane. She lauded CAN youth for its initiative in this regard and wished them the best in all their future endeavours.

Earlier in day, the objectives of the campaign were highlighted by CAN Youth chief functionary, Jenpu Rongmei who lamented that not many talk about crucial issues like school drop outs. Asserting that limiting students dropping out of schools was a matter of paramount

importance, he reported that a survey conducted by World Bank showed that the highest drop outs were from Nagaland at 19.4% at the primary level and 17.7% and 35.1% at the upper primary and secondary levels respectively.

Jenpu further stated that a study of Dimapur schools conducted in collaboration with Bosco Institute, Jorhat, learnt that 57% of drop outs were from the high school level,

32% from middle school and 11% before reaching middle school.

On the primary objective of the campaign, “My scholarship Foundation”, Jenpu stated that the campaign will support 50 students this year and 28 students have already been given scholarships in the past. Jenpu also thanked Naga youth in cities like Bangalore and Mumbai who have already contributed to the cause adding that education is everyone’s responsibility.

Earlier, a welcome address was delivered by core member, CAN Youth, Sentimongla Ozukum; dedicatory prayer was offered by pastor of Cross Wonder Church, Tenyenlo Rengma; felicitation of special guest by core member, CAN Youth, Kalivi Zhimo, launch of “My Scholarship Foundation” by the special guest; and vote of thanks by CAN Youth secretary, Zhove Lohe.

Rally for Kuki territory demand

IMPHAL, Nov 3: A mass rally was staged in the streets in Manipur’s Churachandpur district on Saturday showing solidarity with the ongoing tripartite political dialogue among Kuki based militant groups, the Centre and the Manipur government.

Kuki militant groups under two umbrella bodies, Kuki National Organization (KNO) and United People’s Front (UPF), under a truce with the security forces, are now engaging in political dialogues with the Centre and state government.

Recently, the two umbrella bodies came together to demand an autonomous territorial council status based on the sixth schedule of the Indian Constitution for Kukis in Manipur.

The mass rally was organized jointly by the Hmar Innpui, Mizo People’s Convention Manipur, Thadou Innpi and Zomi Council in support of the ongoing tripartite political dialogues.

Thousands of people participated in the rally displaying various slogan placards appreciating the government’s initiatives towards resolving the Kuki political issue and in support of the UPF and KNO’s demand for creation of an autonomous territorial council for the Kuki/Zo people in Manipur.

During the rally, almost all shops, business establishments, and private institutions remained closed.

Some of the slogans

displayed during the rally read as “No territorial council, no rest,” “Sixth schedule is our Constitutional right,” “Political solution is the only solution,” “Expedite SoO tripartite talk,” We want honourable political solution,” “Territorial council for peaceful co-existence,” etc.

Government of India signed Suspension of Operation (SoO) with UPF and KNO since 2008 seeking a political solution to the demands of the Kuki militant groups. They are seeking a political solution for the Kukis under the Constitution of India and are not against the territorial integrity of Manipur state, a leaflet distributed during the rally asserted.

It added, “In this regard both the UPF and KNO have their own political agendas in the past, however, they now come together to demand an autonomous territorial council status based on the sixth schedule provision of the Indian Constitution which will be a BTC-like Council in Assam.”

In the leaflet, the rally organizers, noted that the inefficiency and weaknesses of existing autonomous district councils in tribal areas of Manipur was acknowledged not only by the tribals but also by the state government, Hill Areas Committee of Manipur Assembly as well as the ADCs. On several occasions the ADCs have recommended to the Union government to implement the sixth schedule provision in

Dear, Let your birthday be full of love and happiness, just as our relationship has been blessed with these delightful qualities.. May you have many many more years. God bless you abundantly..

Manipur tribal areas.

“Extension of sixth schedule by itself is not the solution. What is needed is a modification of the schedule based on the unique history, culture and administrative experiences of the Kuki/Zo peoples in Manipur state,” it said. In order to fully realize the much talked about “Chingmi-Tammi Ammatani (hill and valley people are one)’, “equitable development with justice”, “Peaceful co-existences or protection of Manipur territorial integrity”, it is indispensable for the government to first create an autonomous territorial council with adequate power and provisions, the leaflet added.

In the concluding part of the rally, the organizers submitted a joint memorandum to the Prime Minister of India through the Churachandpur DC seeking his intervention to create an autonomous territorial council for the Kuki/Zo people in Manipur with BTC model as proposed by the NDA and NEDA leadership.

“We also requested him to speed-up the ongoing talks with UPF and KNO alongside the Naga peace process,” they said.

The organizers, while claiming that they received the fullest co-operation and participation of various Innpi/Innpui and their subordinate associations/organizations, tribe councils, traders and businessmen, churches, institutions, various tribal chief councils as well as village authorities, lauded them for making the rally a success.

Security of Mizoram CEO beefed up after exit demand Aizawl, Nov 3 (PTI): Security of the chief electoral officer of pollbound Mizoram has been beefed up following demand for his exit from the state by Monday, police said Saturday.

Coordination Committee, an umbrella body of major civil society and student organisations, had demanded CEO Shashank’s removal shortly after the Election Commission removed a principal secretarylevel state officer on charges of interfering with the poll process.

The election to the 40-member Assembly will be held on November 28. The results will be out on December 11.

A senior police official told PTI that additional security personnel have been deployed at the office and official residence of Shashank since Thursday night.

Security was also beefed up in various places of Aizawl following the Committee’s demands, the official said.

“The NGO Coordination Committee requested Shashank not to continue his job by leaving his post as CEO and also leave the state of Mizoram before dusk on November 5,” a statement issued by the umbrella organisation said.

Accusing the chief electoral officer of working against the spirit

of “free, fair and peaceful” polls, the NGO has urged the authorities to replace him with an official who had the confidence of the people of the state.

In an order on Friday, the Election Commission had directed removal of Principal Secretary (Home) Lalnunmawia Chuaungo, saying his continuance “in the State Government of Mizoram will have an adverse impact on the conduct of smooth, free and fair election process in Mizoram”. The order came after reports appeared in a section of media that Shashank had complained to the EC that Chuaungo was interfering with the election process.

Bombs triggered at two places in Mnp; no casualties Correspondent

IMPHAL, NOV 3: Suspected militants triggered powerful bombs at two places in Manipur’s Kangpokpi and Imphal West districts on Saturday morning.

There were no reports of human casualties in both the blasts except damages to shops around where the bombs were triggered.

The blast in Imphal West was reported at Kwakeithel Bazar in front of a shop (LYS Sales Private Limited) that deals in cement and iron bars, at around 4.35 am.

Police suspect a remote control improvised explosive device (IED) was used for the blast.

The other blast at Kangpokpi was triggered in front of a grocery shop (Manoj

Store) at Kangpokpi ward no. 5 at around 4 am.

Police suspect the blasts were related to monetary demands on the proprietors of the shops.

Even though police was yet to find a clue in the blast at Imphal West, they suspect a breakaway group of Kuki National Front (Nehlun) faction behind the blast at Kangpokpi Bazar.

Meanwhile, denouncing the explosion in a residential area, locals staged a protest rally on the streets at Kangpokpi district headquarters Saturday afternoon.

Around 300 people participated in the rally condemning the blast.

All shops and business establishments in the town downed their shutters as a mark of protest.

66 pc voting in Karnataka bye-polls

Bengaluru, Nov 3 (IANS): Around 66 per cent of the 54.5 lakh electorate voted on Saturday in the five by-elections across Karnataka, a poll official said.

“Polling picked up post-noon and was moderate to heavy towards the end, with 66 per cent average voting in three Lok Sabha and two assembly segments in the state,” an Election Commission official told IANS here.

Polling was held from 7.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. in Bellary (ST), Mandya and Shimoga parliamentary constituencies and Jamkhandi and Ramanagara assembly segments in the southern state.

“Voting was by and large peaceful barring stray incidents of EVM (electronic voting machine) malfunctioning and names of voters missing in a few polling stations in all the segments,” the official said.

According to provisional data at the end of polling, 77.17 per cent voting was recorded in Jamkhandi, followed by 71.88

per cent in Ramanagara, 63.85 per cent in Bellary (reserved), 61.05 per cent in Shimoga and 53.93 per cent in Mandya.

“The final polling percentage in each constituency will be known by late night on receiving the complete data,” the official added.

Counting of votes is on November 6.

In all, 31 candidates are in the fray, including five from the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), three from Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) and two from the Congress. 21 others

are Independents or from regional outfits.

As a ruling coalition, the JD-S and Congress have fielded joint candidates in all the by-polls to consolidate their votes. JD-S is contesting from Mandya, Shimoga and Ramanagara and the Congress from Bellary and Jamkhandi.

Though the BJP fielded candidates for all five seats, its nominee L. Chandrashekar on Thursday withdrew from the contest in Ramanagara after resigning from the party and re-joining the Congress.

Two women - Anitha, wife of Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy, and J. Shantha, sister of BJP legislator B. Sriramulu, are contesting in Ramanagara and Bellary (reserved) seats.

Sons of three former Chief Ministers were locked in a triangular contest from Shimoga in Malnad region.

They are B.Y. Raghavendra, son of BJP’s state unit president B.S. Yeddyurappa, who was the party’s first chief minister in the south from 2008 to 2011, Madhu Bangarappa, younger son of late Congress Chief Minister S. Bangarappa (1990-92) and Mahima Patel, son of late Janata Dal-United (JD-S) Chief Minister J.H. Patel (1996-99).

L.R. Shivarame Gowda of the JD-S and Siddaramaiah of the BJP are the candidates in Mandya.

In Jamkhandi, the Congress fielded Anand Siddu, son of its senior leader Siddu Nyamagouda, whose sudden death in a road mishap on May 28 necessitated the by-poll.

Defamation complaint against Tharoor New Delhi/Kolkata, Nov 3 (AGENCIES/ IANS): A criminal defamation complaint has been filed against Congress leader Shashi Tharoor before a court here for his alleged “scorpion” remark against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

In his complaint, Delhi BJP leader Rajeev Babbar said his religious sentiments were hurt.

“I am a devotee of Lord Shiva... However, the accused (Tharoor) completely disregarded the sentiments of crores of Shiva’s devotees, made the statement which hurt the sentiments of all the Lord Shiva devotees, both in India and outside the country,” the complaint said.

“The complainant’s religious sentiments were hurt and accused deliberately did this malicious act, intending to outrage religious feeling of Lord Shiva devotees by insulting their religious believes,” it said.

The complaint, filed through advocate Neeraj, termed the statement as an “intolerable abuse” and

Shashi Tharoor (File)

“absolute vilification” of the faith of millions of people.

The complaint was filed under section 499 and 500 of the Indian Penal Code relating to defamation.

The matter is likely to come up for hearing Saturday.

Tharoor had stoked a fresh controversy Sunday while speaking at Bangalore Literature Festival, claiming that an unnamed RSS leader had compared Modi to “a scorpion sitting on a Shivling”.

Case against me baseless: Tharoor

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Saturday said he was “surprised” by the crim-

inal defamation complaint against him for his alleged “scorpion” remark against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as it questioned an author’s right to freedom of expression and hoped that the baseless case would be dismissed forthwith.

Pointing out that he had quoted the remark of an unnamed RSS activist mentioned in a 2012 article, Tharoor claimed that he had done nothing wrong but was ready to defend himself, if at all a legal notice was sent on this matter.

“It was not my comment. In describing the relation between the RSS and the Prime Minister, I quoted a 2012 article from a magazine called The Caravan, where an unnamed RSS activist made the comment to the journalist. So if at all there was a defamation it happened in 2012 and not now, and it happened from the RSS, not from Shashi Tharoor,” the Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha member told reporters here after his party’s interactive manifesto consultation programme.

N e w D e l h i , N ov 3 (PTI): Congress president Rahul Gandhi lashed out Saturday at the Uttar Pradesh government over the caning of aspiring teachers protesting over the court rulings that quashed the results of two recruitment exams, saying those responsible for shaping the future of children are being beaten up.

The police used canes Friday to disperse people protesting in Lucknow against two court rulings that quashed the selection of over 12,000 government teachers and also ordered a CBI probe into the process to appoint 68,500 more.

The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court had struck down Thursday the selection of 12,460 assistant teachers through an exam advertised in 2016, during the term of the Akhilesh Yadav government.

The other order came as a major embarrassment for the Yogi Adityanath government.

lowing a spate of #MeToo allegations, on November 2 denied accusations of rape by Ms. Gogoi who, in her article, recounted the “most painful memories” of her life and said she was in “shreds — emotionally, physically, mentally”.

In a statement, he said: “Somewhere around 1994, Pallavi Gogoi and I entered into a consensual relationship that spanned several months”.

“This relationship [with Gogoi] gave rise to talk, and would later cause significant strife in my home life as well. This consensual

relationship ended, perhaps not on the best note,” he said.

In a separate statement, his wife Mallika Akbar also dismissed Gogoi’s accusations, made in the Washington Post article on November 2, as a “lie”.

Akbar admitted she knew about the relationship between Akbar and Gogoi and the relationship caused unhappiness and discord in her family. Responding to Akbar’s claims, Gogoi said: “Yesterday, The Washington Post published my first-hand account of being physically, verbally and sexually assaulted by M.J. Akbar. I was in my early 20s, an aspiring journalist, and an employee at the newspaper he led”.

New Delhi, Nov 3 (AGENCIES): United States-based journalist Pallavi Gogoi, who has accused former Union Minister of State M.J. Akbar of raping her while working under him in India when he was a journalist, has dismissed his claims that it was a “consensual relationship”.

She said that a relationship based on “coercion and abuse of power” was not consensual.

Gogoi, chief business editor of National Public Radio (NPR), a Washington-based American media organisation, took to Twitter and said she stood by every word in her published account in The Washington Post. She would continue to speak her truth so that other women, who have been sexually assaulted by him, knew it was okay for them to come forward and speak their truth too.

Dangerous divide in Assam

A

ssam’s bitter divide between indigenous Assamese and Bengali speaking Hindus that has been dormant is being spurred by the killing of five Bengali-speaking people were shot dead on 1 November, 2018 at Sadiya Saikhowaghat in Tinsukia District. It was reported that the ULFA (independent) cadre of five-six persons clad in the uniform of the Army, entered the village, called on the hapless persons to come out of their homes. Thereafter they opened fire on them that resulted in the five bloody deaths. The incident took place only 300 feet from the local police outpost. Authorities believe that ULFA(I) led by Paresh Baruah is responsible for the ghastly killings. However a day after the killings ULFA(I) denied any hand in the killings. There are some who read a parallel between the blast on October 13 where at least four people were injured in a bomb blast in Assam’s capital Guwahati. According to news report, ULFA(I) purportedly told media that the explosion was meant to be a message to Hindu Bengali groups trying to settle illegal Hindu Bangladeshis in Assam. What lit the spark of suspicion was the recently released final draft of the National Register of Citizenship(NRC) sometime in June 30,2018. The purpose of NRC update is to identify illegal migrants residing in Assam, who entered Indian territories after the midnight of 24 March 1971 and to determine the citizenship of the applicants who have applied for inclusion of their names in the updated NRC. The percentage of Hindus in Assam is 61% as of 2011 census. Out of 61% Hindus in Assam nearly 37% Hindus speak Assamese and came to be known as Assamese Hindus and 18% Hindus speak Bangla as their mother tongue rest 6% includes Bodo Hindus, Bihari Hindus, Marwari Hindus, Nepali Hindus and other tribal Hindus. The most talked about cause that had lighted the spark was attributed to war of words between the surrendered ULFA leaders and controversial BJP MLA, a Bengali leader Siladitya Dev. The inflammatory speeches were said to be over the NRC issue, a sensitive issue with the indigenous Assamese including some Bengali speaking people.

The BJP had promised to facilitate easy acquirement of Indian citizenship to the Hindu immigrants from Bangladesh. As it is, the Assamese people have not been happy over the virtual ‘takeover’ of jobs by Bangladeshi Hindus from Sylhet (Bangladesh) just after partition. A majority of jobs in the AG office at Shillong, the capital of undivided Assam, were given to Bangladeshi Hindus, it was said. This continued in streams even for jobs in the NFR. These had irked the Assamese people when unemployment became an issue. During British India, the Bengali Language was imposed over Assamese as the British took over Assam, much to the resentment of the people. To add to the already rising tension was the decision that made Assamese as official language in Assam. This was resented by majority Bengali people in Barak valley and some areas in lower Assam. Today, Assam is simmering with tension between indigenous Assamese and Bangladeshi Hindus as the latter has become more emboldened due to patronage of the BJP. The widespread resentment in Assam may be exploited for political gains and this has been the biggest tragedy in the state

DailyDevotion A Bondservant of Jesus I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me… —Galatians 2:20 These words mean the breaking and collapse of my independence brought about by my own hands, and the surrendering of my life to the supremacy of the Lord Jesus. No one can do this for me, I must do it myself.

God may bring me up to this point three hundred and sixty-five times a year, but He cannot push me through it. It means breaking the hard outer layer of my individual independence from God, and the liberating of myself and my nature into oneness with Him; not following my own ideas, but choosing absolute loyalty to Jesus. Once I am at that point, there is no possibility of misunderstanding. Very few of us know anything about loyalty to Christ or understand what He meant when He said, “…for My sake” (Matthew 5:11). That is what makes a strong saint.

Has that breaking of my independence come? All the rest is religious fraud. The one point to decide is— will I give up? Will I surrender to Jesus Christ, placing no conditions whatsoever as to how the brokenness will come? I must be broken from my own understanding of myself. When I reach that point, immediately the reality of the supernatural identification with Jesus Christ takes place. And the witness of the Spirit of God is unmistakable— “I have been crucified with Christ….”

The passion of Christianity comes from deliberately signing away my own rights and becoming a bondservant of Jesus Christ. Until I do that, I will not begin to be a saint.

One student a year who hears God’s call would be sufficient for God to have called the Bible Training College into existence. This college has no value as an organization, not even academically. Its sole value for existence is for God to help Himself to lives. Will we allow Him to help Himself to us, or are we more concerned with our own ideas of what we are going to be?

Post-mortem

Industry choice vital to benefit from India growth story

T

he adage that “investing in the right industry is at least as important, if not more, than choosing the right investments” holds true in India as much as it does in any other country.

An investor needs to invest in industries that generate better returns relative to others and then needs to find specific assets within the industry that are available at attractive valuations. Regulatory conditions, demographic trends and interlinkages between sectors are some of the drivers of growth and consequent investment attractiveness.

For instance, the recent decision on the localisation of data in India creates an investment opportunity for data centre infrastructure investors and ancillary industries. Assuming regulations are implemented and enforced credibly, tremendous infrastructure in data centres will be required to localise data.

The average monthly mobile data consumption per user in India increased by 15 times from the end of 2014 to the end of 2017 to over 4GB. The number is expected to more than triple in the next five years. Given this is mobile data consumption, if one were to add other sources of retail and industrial data consumption, one gets an idea of the vast data storage need in India.

T h e ex p o n e n t i a l d a t a growth creates an opportunity for investors in sophisticated and large-scale data centres. Data centre investments will also imply opportunities in the supporting ecosystem of real estate and power supply. Real estate firms that can provide the vital data centre infrastructure become an attractive proposition as do

T

being the acquisition of the assets at attractive valuations.

Accessing opportunities through investments in the listed equity markets is one potential path if pockets of opportunities exist. Alternatively, investors with a long-term focus can create value through accessing assets through private markets, if they provide significantly lower valuation multiples due to both smaller size of businesses and current valuation multiples in the public equity markets.

Choice of the industry holds the key regardless of whether investors are focused on infrastructure businesses or consumer-facing sectors. While fundamental valuations are the absolute gospel for investing, favourable industries do provide a helpful “tailwind” for investors.

An analysis of annualised 10-year returns for S&P 500 sectors (represented by SPDR Exchange Traded Funds XLU & XLF as proxies) shows how utilities were able to deliver slightly higher annualised returns at 8.81 percent over financials (which faced significant regulatory hurdles over the last decade) at 7.34 percent.

The critical question investors must be asking of financials today is whether a less onerous regulatory regime is in the offing, thereby boosting returns over the next decade, or whether the new age fintech firms will create barriers to higher profits. The same rules apply in an Indian context.

For patient investors looking at decade-long investment horizons, industry analysis can add significant value.

Amazing dust

here is so much of everything in our land to celebrate; each year we celebrate so many occasions and festivals to showcase and promote our rich culture and identity. The abundance of grace upon our land makes us feel so special and proud especially when we venture out in other states and talk about our beautiful land or when we bring in friends and tourists from outside.

With all the lipstick black topped roads being washed away by the cruel monsoon and with the coolest fork lane scratching down beautiful hills and mountains in the name of development, we now have a perfect road to travel. The green plants, the trees, the little flowers and the flowing streams by the side of our roads are no more visible to our eyes. Instead we now see dust and only dust.

And people would recognise you immediately if you have walked upon the public road or if you have driven a two wheeler to the town.

The dust on our roads makes the road stretch filled with dusts and we, pedestrians no longer breathe air but dust. The air quality in our towns, especially in Dimapur is beyond the permissible limit that the concerned de-

The entire ecosystem benefits and creates investment opportunities for many investors.

Identifying inter-linkages within industries is important for specialised investors. The impact that regulations can have in creating value across a chain of sectors is worth keeping in mind.

Changing consumption patterns and trends in income will be another significant driver of industry attractiveness. For an investor looking at sectors with long-term secular trends, watching how non-food consumption is changing with rising incomes should provide valuable insights.

Discretionary consumer space is where a large part of the action should be expected given gradually rising incomes.

In the Boston Consulting Group report titled “The New Indian: The Many Facets of a Changing Consumer”, Abheek Singhi, Nimisha Jain and Kanika Sanghi point out a category that takes off for discretionary consumer products above a certain income level. This category includes industries such as entertainment, non-essential food consumption, high-end clothing and cosmetics. Capturing the upside in sectors that will benefit from rising incomes is crucial for investors looking to ride the India growth story.

Identifying attractive industries from an investment perspective is the first vital step. Industries with the correct growth dynamics help narrow down the list of outperformers across sectors. Institutional investors can approach the potential attractive investment opportunities within the identified areas through a variety of strategies, the key driver

But surprisingly, the dust is good news for pharmacists and hospitals, and for product manufacturing companies.

The dust in desert roads may not have the equivalent to the dust in our land. And a lonely musician might soon pick up inspiration from the dust and promote his/her album in the local dailies titled- Upon the dusty land.

The tourist that visits our land might forget the beautiful landscape but he/she will fondly remember the amount of dust he/she inhaled for free. The season is going to be long and fun until the muddy road comes to play the spoil sport. But, as long as you travel by your cosy car, you are likely to miss the adventure that the beautiful festival offers. So, you better take chance to experience the moment before you get too old for anything. Together, let us popularise the already popular season, attract more tourists this season and earn more revenues for ourselves and for the State Government. We never know, very soon, the Government might propose a new Festival- Festival of Dust and Mud... ehhhh!!!

Why do we always need more time in our lives?

ittle children never bother about time. They don’t have to keep track on it. There is a difference between an adult and a child when it comes to spending time freely. Thus, a child enjoys running around, playing with his friends, with a free spirit. He does not care whether he is in the mud or in the water. No doubt, we all had this experience, but as time passes, things change. We become more responsible citizens. Our society somehow won’t accept us when we are irresponsible and unproductive.

My question is, do we still have this spirit of a child and do we still have time to play around freely (with our friends and companions)?

In the olden days when people didn’t have watches to keep track of time, they listened to church bells and for some, the sun helped them keep track of the day. Later watches were invented in the 16th century before the quartz in the 1960s. The industries became more productive.

Their employees’ leisure time was cut down. It was a great success for most companies. Gradually, everyone tries to be on time; we call it punctuality. With punctuality man is forced to respect time and become responsible. Sadly, today, the extreme is happening; man is made to work like a machine.

There seems to be no difference between man and machine. Then discrimination, forced labour, exploitation, all became common.

People began to walk and talk faster than ever before. Time doesn’t wait.

Walking slowly in the street is not normal; everyone runs. People prefer to look at their cell phones, at their books than the other person because they feel they want to be productive. There is no time to waste. Some even feel guilty of not being productive, which is in fact an unhealthy sentiment. We say, we are not free. But the fact is, we don’t hesitate to go shopping for hours. No doubt many will always have time for shopping. We don’t

The quest to achieve 100% immunity from Measles and Rubella

he Department of Health & Family Welfare Nagaland has been relentlessly encouraging and sensitizing children, parents and the community to support and come forward in eliminating measles from our State controlling rubella diseases through MR vaccination. The coverage percentage of Nagaland MRVC stands at 90.14% with a total of 404304 children successfully vaccinated through numerous school and outreach sessions throughout Nagaland.

With only a few days left to conclude the Campaign, the Department takes this privilege to elucidate on a few things based on which the whole Campaign has been designed by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, GOI. When a high percentage of the population is vaccinated, it is difficult for infectious diseases to spread, because there are not many people who can be infected. For example, if someone with measles is surrounded by people who are vaccinated against measles, the disease cannot easily be passed on to anyone, and it will quickly disappear again. This is called ‘herd immunity’, ‘community immunity’ or ‘herd protection’, and it gives protection to vulnerable people such as newborn babies, elderly people and those who are too sick to be vaccinated.

Herd immunity only works if most people in the population are vaccinated (for example, 19 out of every 20 people need to be vaccinated against measles to protect people who are not vaccinated). If people are not vaccinated, herd immunity is not guaranteed to protect them.

If you live in an area where vaccine coverage is low, and your child is not vaccinated, it’s quite likely that many of the people they come into contact with will not be vaccinated either. If one of these people gets an infectious disease like measles, they can easily pass it on to the other unvaccinated people around them, and in some cases the disease can then spread very quickly through the population.

Unlike vaccination, herd immunity does not give a high level of individual protection, and so it is not a good alternative to getting vaccinated.

Some people in the community rely on herd immunity to protect them. These groups are particularly vulnerable to disease, but often cannot safely receive vaccines: • People without a fully-working immune system, including those without a working spleen.

• People on chemotherapy treatment whose immune system is weakened.

• People with HIV. • Newborn babies who are too

Self-pity if only I’d known!

or over 2 decades I was addicted to drugs and alcohol. During those days of “chasing after fleeting euphoria”, I encountered so many disappointments that i was afraid anything good would come out of me.

My life, of shattered hope & dreams, was complex with suicidal tendencies...

I was always afraid of sleeping- fearful of waking up no more, and to be discovered as having died of Drug Overdose. I had a terrible negative outlook on everything.

Finally, when sense prevailed and I could say

“enough is enough!” with the intervention of God’s grace, I thought my addiction days were over for good along with all negativism in my life.

I was wrong!

The spirit of addiction still had a grip on me in the form of “addiction to selfpity” and was, with subtlety, feeding me with negative attitudes. I was being sucked into this yet another form of addictive web- so cunningly woven by the unseen hands of the adversary.

Wisdom and experience cautions and quotes thus, “Any person can be

even keep track of time. We jump from shop to shop, look for the perfect thing which only exists in our minds.

When it comes to social media, we don’t realise that we are passing hours and hours in it. The internet is a powerful tool, attractive, and anybody can get access to it. The sad part is we get attached to it. Then, when we want to get rid of some social network sites, we download applications in our smart phones to help us tackle the problem of addiction. Instead of helping us reducing, it multiplies our time wasting. When we look at Facebook, everybody thinks it is free. It’s not. The moment that we tap on the login button and starts scrolling, Facebook starts buying time from us. In other words, when we say time is expensive, Facebook is doing its job, capitalizing on our time. This is not to discourage Facebook users, but we need to be aware of the pros and cons of different social media sites.

Coming back to the top, children are the best examples for us.

They teach us how to spend time with our friends, our community members and our near and dear ones. Getting out of our comfort zone and from our own small rooms can be challenging. However, it is not impossible. Man is a social animal who practices social life naturally and professionally.

It is vital for human survival and growth. It helps us to exchange ideas, thoughts, feelings and to relieve stress.

In short, thanks to the invention of time, we are able to keep track of ourselves. Thanks to the internet, we are able to gain a lot of knowledge easily. Time plays a crucial role in man’s life, but man will struggle even if he were to have 25hours a day. It is not easy for us to give time for everything, but it is not impossible either to find time for everything.

addicted to anything, even wrong mental activity just as one would get addicted to drugs or alcohol or nicotine”. And of late, I realized that, self-pity was one such wrong activity of my mind.

That, self-pity- supported by thinking only of/about myself-was one of the devil’s favourite tools to keep me in the Wilderness!

Having wasted so many years of my life, I was prone to feel sorry for myself. My automatic response to any kind of disappointment was self-pity. I simply thought on what fell into my head.

The more I thought, the more pitiful i felt! And since this life is never freed of disappointments, my life happened to acquire another form of addiction, always subjected to yet another repressive thought of selfpity! ...if only I’d known!

Self-pity keeps us trapped in the past. And if we’re not careful, we can become addicted to it! It’s amazing how easy it is to stay out of self-pity if we look at the other person’s side and not just at our own!

young to be vaccinated.

• Elderly people.

• Many of those who are very ill in hospital.

For these people, herd immunity is a vital way of protecting them against life-threatening disease.

The requirement for all children between 9 months upto 15 years who are most susceptible to getting infected with Measles and Rubella to be 100% vaccinated with MR vaccine is of the highest priority for the success of this National Campaign towards making our State free from these life-threatening diseases. Every responsible parent and community should take this task as a moral and social responsibility towards making our society free from such vaccine preventable diseases for which there are no guaranteed treatment methods.

Once the campaign is over, MR vaccine will be available only under routine immunization which will be administered only at 9 mths and 16 months to a child and hence older children will not be able to avail this vaccine anymore. Therefore, all are reminded not to miss this opportunity and visit any government health facility for vaccination at the earliest.

Be true to our slogan

Sir,

The slogan for Nagas of Nagaland is, “Nagaland for Christ” and is so very convincing when people raise their voices in unison. However, to me it appears as lip service only and more like, “empty vessel makes a lot of noise” as we voice this slogan without God in our hearts. How can we say that Nagaland is for Christ when our land abounds in all kinds of sins like rape, murder, sorcery, lies and corruptions on daily routine.

In such a situation how can we expect God to grant us anything for our land and people. Let us truly turn to God and do away with abominations so we can really be true to the slogan of Nagaland for Christ.

Delhi’s air quality may deteriorate from Monday

Bid to revive insurgency in Punjab: Rawat

New Delhi, Nov 3 (AGENCIES): Attempts are being made through “external linkages” to “revive insurgency” in Punjab and if early action is not taken, it will be too late, Army Chief Gen. Bipin Rawat Saturday said. He was addressing a gathering of senior Army officers, defence experts and former senior officials of government and police at a seminar here on ‘Changing Contours of Internal Security in India: Trends and Responses’.

Rawat also said that Overall Air Quality Index (AQI) of Delhi was recorded at 336, which falls in the ‘very poor’ attempts were being made category.

(From p-1) It claimed that there were even cultural exchange from both Lamhai and Sema community who were part of the delegates to Lamhai village. “The next day the visitors left after being gifted with different agricultural seeds for cultivation by the Lamhai people,” LVC said, adding that such were the relationship between the founders of Kiavi village and Lamhai people during the initial years when they co-existed cordially and peacefully.

LVC, however, expressed shock that present leaders of Kiavi village have “outrightly denied historical facts and failed to acknowledge the land donors who have gifted vast lands for their settlements.”

LVC said claim of Kiyevi village being established after taking permission from British authority was “too silly and unbecoming since the Britisher do not possess even an inch of land at Peren district.” LVC said that such kind of “confusing and childish statement” was not expected from responsible leaders.

One recent proof of

landownership, LVC said could be found from the fact that ‘No-Objection Certificate’ for establishment of IAF Operational Base Station was sought from landowner Lamhai, adding that land was given willingly on January 3, 2016.

The village council stated that since Kiavi village was established after taking due permission from Lamhai village with clear demarcated boundary, the land above and below Kiavi village belonged only to Lamhai people.

F u r t h e r, LVC ex pressed amazement that how could Kiavi village donate Lamhai land to Khehoi for establishment of village. LVC sought to clarify that Kiavi village did not have any authority “to donate or mis-use any area of land beyond their given jurisdiction.”

LVC also warned the GBs of Kiavi village to refrain from making “such malicious and confusing statements to distort historical facts, which may compel the landowner to take steps which may cause untoward incident.”

ANPSA Dimapur unit celebrates Silver Jubilee

(From p-1) Also speaking at the program, KK Chaudhury said that Nagaland with a literacy rate of 80.11% is a big contributor to the literacy rate of India. While congratulating ANPSA Dimapur unit for attaining 25 years, he said ANPSA had done tremendous work for growth of students in the state.

The first day of celebration was marked by cultural and modern dances, kids choir, beat boxing etc.

Earlier, an invocation prayer was offered by Rev. Moses Murry, advisor, ANPSA and welcome address was delivered by Andrew Ahoto, president ANPSA. The vote of thanks was proposed by Leo David and the benediction was said by Fr. Joshua, principal, Don Bosco Higher Secondary School, Dimapur.

The program on November 4 will be held at Holy Cross Higher Secondary School, Dimapur from 4:00 pm onwards. The second day will feature items like Korean dance, modern Punjabi dance, skit, Hawaiian dance, western dance, fusion etc.

CBI case: Kharge moves SC to quash CVC order New Delhi, Nov 3 (IANS): Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday moved an application in the Supreme Court requesting it to quash the separate orders of Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) and Ministry of Personnel issued on October 23 that divested CBI Director Alok Verma of his powers, saying the move was “completely illegal, arbitrary and without jurisdiction”.

Kharge’s application said the orders violated the powers conferred upon the Statutory Committee -- a three-member panel comprising Prime Minister, Chief Justice of India and Leader of Opposition -- under Section 4A of the Delhi Special Police Establishment (DSPE) Act 1946.

Kharge, who is also on the Statutory Committee, said the DSPE Act provides that the Director of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) shall be appointed on the recommendation of the committee and transferred also only with its consent.

“Filed a petition before Supreme Court requesting it to quash order of Centre because it is illegal... They should have called meeting of all -- Prime Minister, Chief Justice of India and me. Without any meeting, without committee’s consent, they overnight asked him (CBI Director) to go on leave indefinitely,” Kharge said.

Bengaluru, Nov 3 (PTI): Karnataka government has said fire-crackers can only be burst between 8 pm and 10 pm in the State during Diwali from November 5 to 8, following the Supreme Court directive.

Bali Padyami-November 8, the fire-crackers should be burst only between 8 pm and 10 pm,” the circular read.

The Lok Sabha MP said the orders were in “violation of Central Bureau of Investigation Act” and alleged that the CVC also violated rules by asking Verma to go on leave.

“Violation is there and it’s clearly PMO’s direct involvement in autonomous bodies. So, I have challenged that and filed a petition before Supreme Court. Let’s see what happens.”

The Congress leader referred to the apex court’s observation in Vineet Narain vs Union of India (1998) case wherein, he said, it was held that recommendations for appointment of the CBI Director shall be made by a committee headed by the Central Vigilance Commissioner with the Home Secretary and Secretary (Personnel) as its members.

“The Supreme Court in Vineet Narain’s case unequivocally observed that holders of public office are entrusted with powers which have to be exercised in public trust... Accordingly, this court was pleased to pass directions for effective functioning and independence of the CBI and the CVC.” Kharge also sought to be impleaded as an intervenor in the plea moved by Verma challenging his removal.

On October 23, while CBI Director Verma was divested of his powers by orders of the CVC as well as the Central government, Special Director Rakesh Asthana was sent on leave and the interim charge of the Director’s office was assigned to the Joint Director M. Nageshwar Rao. On October 24, Verma had challenged Centre’s decision to remove him as the Director of CBI, stating that investigating officers of sensitive cases are being changed. Asthana had also moved the Delhi High Court challenging the FIR registered against him in the bribery case.

Subsequently, on October 26, the apex court issued a string of interim measures wherein it directed that the inquiry in respect of the allegations made in the note of Cabinet Secretary be completed by the CVC within two weeks.

According to the board, about 212 cases resulted in liquidation and 118 were closed on appeal or review.

“Next time we hear about a bank making efforts to recover loans from borrowers, we should all note to remember it is essentially trying to get back the depositors’ money,” the deputy governor said.

The most important objective of the central bank’s Revised Framework for Resolution of Stressed Assets is to alter the balance of power in favour of creditors, something which had been in favour of debtors for long time, he said.

“The out-of-court restructuring mechanisms too suffered high failure rates resulting in the borrowing entities continuing to indulge in repeated defaults, being confident the balance of power remained with them and the ability of banks to discipline errant borrowers was weak,” the deputy governor said, explaining why the IBC process was necessary.

In the case of wilful or strategic defaulters, who can pay but won’t do so a change in ownership accompanied by “punitive action against the defaulting management is the way to go”, he said.

rescue from banks. This is one of the issues on which the government is said to differ with RBI, which is opposed to a proposed special liquidity window for NBFCs. Vishwanathan also defended RBI’s February 12 circular, which tightened loan-recognition norms and scrapped all existing debt-restructuring schemes for large borrowers since the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) had been put in place.

Of course, a bank can renegotiate terms of a loan if circumstances warrant, but this must be for a good reason and the bank should recognise the consequent risks,” Vishwanathan said.

“This renegotiation of terms should be an exception rather than the rule, as resorting to it often would endanger the safety of deposits, dent a bank’s ability to lend further and imperil its existence as an intermediating entity.”

There had been a demand from the power sector for special dispensation in restructuring existing debt, a position that the government had backed in court.

New Delhi, Nov 3 (Agencies): Reserve Bank of India deputy governor NS Vishwanathan said the job of banks is not to bail out borrowers whenever they get into difficulties as the primary commitment of lenders should be to depositors.

Vishwanathan’s address staked out the position of the central bank on this and other issues, some of them in apparent contrast with the government’s views, and followed comments by fellow deputy governor Viral Acharya on October 26 that had sparked a swift retort from the finance minister.

“Banks are not supposed to be shock absorbers of first resort of the difficulties faced by their borrowers as banks do not have the luxury of delaying payments to their depositors,” Vishwanathan said in his October 29 speech in Jamshedpur that was posted on the RBI website late on Friday. His comments come against the backdrop of nonbanking finance companies (NBFCs), in the grip of a liquidity squeeze seeking a

DP-8285(A)

IL&FS defaults, sentiments have been hit and investors are wary of subscribing to bonds issued by the NBFC sector.

“Prospects for partial credit enhancement for retail or SME funding for NBFCs can be somewhat better than the infrastructure sector (where it did not take off). This is because an underlying NBFC’s credit can improve size, increase equity and demonstrate management capabilities,” said Shameek Ray, head of debt capital markets, ICICI Securities PD. “Thus, if the base credit rating improves, then the credit enhanced rating which is, say, two notches higher, can also improve correspondingly. Therefore, a credit enhancement can actually crowd in potential investors for NBFC and HFC bonds,” Ray said.

However, this assumes that the underlying rating of the NBFC is being used and not that of an identified portfolio for the specific tranche. This gives rise to the risk of further defaults as the previously-issued bonds come for maturity and the NBFCs would require rollover finance to honour their commitment.

Mumbai, Nov 3 (Agencies): In a move that could provide some liquidity to the cash-starved non-banking financial companies (NBFC), the RBI on Friday allowed banks to raise credit to bonds issued by the systemically important NBFCs and housing finance companies (HFCs).

Credit enhancements have been allowed for corporate bonds for the infrastructure sector but there weren’t many takers for this, said bond arrangers. Through such an arrangement, credit of the issue gets enhanced as banks take responsibility of a part of the issue. This enables corporates to access funds from the bond market on better terms.

Under RBI rules, a bank can provide credit enhancements to the tune of 20 per cent of the bond size, for entities rated BBB or better.

Still, if banks offer credit enhancements, there would some amount of confidence back in the system to invest in bonds issued by large NBFCs and housing finance companies. More than 70 per cent of the issuance in the corporate bond market are from the NBFC sector. However, since the

US to reinstate all Iran sanctions

Donald Trump

Washington is to reintroduce the sanctions on Monday 5 November.

Meanwhile, EU states that backed the nuclear deal have said they will protect EU firms doing “legitimate” business with Iran.

President Donald Trump withdrew from the agreement in May, describing it as “defective at its core” because it had not stopped Iran developing a ballistic missile programme and intervening in neighbouring countries.

“Sanctions are coming,” he tweeted after Friday’s announcement, referencing the TV series Game

of Thrones and its motto “Winter is coming”.

The US has been gradually re-imposing sanctions, but analysts say this move is the most important because it targets the core sectors of Iran’s economy.

The agreement saw Iran limit its controversial nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief.

Barack Obama, the US president at the time, had argued the deal would prevent Iran from developing nuclear arms.

The UK, France, Germany, Russia and China were also parties to the 2015 accord and have stuck to it,

saying Iran is complying.

The US sanctions will cover shipping, shipbuilding, finance and energy.

More than 700 individuals, entities, vessels and aircraft will be put on the sanctions list, including major banks, oil exporters and shipping companies.

US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin also said that the Brussels-based Swift network for making international payments was expected to cut off links with targeted Iranian institutions.

Being disconnected from Swift would almost completely isolate Iran from the international financial system.

They are the second lot of sanctions re-imposed by Trump since May. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo set out 12 demands that Iran must meet if sanctions are to be lifted - including ending support for militants and completely ballistic missile development.

Pompeo did not name the eight countries that been granted waivers to continue importing Iranian oil.

A ko r a K h at ta k , Nov 3 (IANS): Thousands of supporters and followers of Maulana Sami ul-Haq, an Islamic cleric and former senator who was more widely known as the “Father of Taliban”, flocked to attend his funeral in Pakistan on Saturday.

Sami ul-Haq, a leader of the political party Jamiat Ulma-e-Islam, was killed in the northern city of Rawalpindi on Friday, although there were conflicting versions of how and where he died.

“He was resting in his room during Asr (prayer) time when his driver-cumbodyguard went out for 15 minutes,” his son Maulana Hamid ul-Haq told Pakistan’s Geo TV. “When he returned, he found Maulana Sami ulHaq dead in his bed and his body covered in blood,” the son said, adding his father had been stabbed multiple times.

YANGON, Nov 3 (AGENCIES): Myanmar – Voters in several parts of Myanmar went to the polls Saturday in 13 by-elections seen as a test of support for leader Aung San Suu Kyi and her ruling party.

Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy won a landslide victory in the 2015 general election, putting an end to decades of rule by the military and its proxies, though the army retains considerable power under a constitution it implemented.

Suu Kyi’s appeal with the countr y’s Buddhist majority has not suffered much from a crisis involving 700,000 members of the Muslim Rohingya minority who fled a brutal army counterinsurgency campaign in the country’s west.

Still, economic development has been lagging.

The 13 parliamentary seats at stake represent a tiny fraction of the 1,171 national, regional and state assembly seats nationwide, and by-elections rarely drum up the same level of enthu-

siasm as a general election.

The next general election is in 2020.

The seats became vacant through death or resignation.

The two seats at stake in Yangon, the country’s biggest city, are all but certain to stay in the NLD’s hands. Turnout in Yangon appeared to be low, but several voters there said they are keeping the faith in Suu Kyi. “ We d o n’t s e e we are going to get immediate change. It’s impossible to make things right that have already been wrong for many years,” said Htun Thein, a Yangon voter. “We have to give them time and have understanding.”

Because of that, he said, voters “have to encour-

age and support” the NLD. Myo Pa Pa Htun had a simpler explanation for supporting the NLD candidate: “Because we like and love Mother Su very much, that’s the thing.”

Other contests are taking place in ethnic minority regions where 2015 votes for installing Suu Kyi and slapping down the military’s favored candidates may give way to more traditional loyalties to local ethnic parties. That possible political realignment could come at the ruling NLD’s disadvantage. Areas involved include Chin, Shan and Rakhine states.

Beijing, Nov 3 (AGENCIES): China is rapidly expanding the size and scope of detainment camps in the country’s western region, according to reports, where hundreds of thousands of Muslims are being held in what are described as indoctrination centers.

Satellite imagery of the area over the Xinjiang region shows not just 28 separate detention camps - apparently part of a huge Chinese government program to better control the sizeable Muslim population in the area – but continued expansion of those detainment centers.

Details of the satellite imagery, released this week, shows the total camp area grew more than 400 percent since 2016. Most of the expansion occurred this year, according to the research by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, which conducts research for the Australian military.

tices of this community to be a political threat.”

The satellite imagery shows prison-like facilities, complete with high fencing and watchtowers.

The report described them as “punitive in nature and more akin to prison camps than what the Chinese authorities call ‘transformation through education centres.’”

An estimated 14 million Chinese citizens, most of them members of Muslim ethnic groups, live in Xinjiang. Tensions have flared between the Chinese government and the Uighurs, one of China’s most prominent minority groups, who seek to establish greater autonomy.

The Chinese government will not say how many people are being detained in the camps.

Reports put the number in the hundreds of thousands, while some believe there could be as many as a million being detained.

Some relatives of those being held, who can speak freely outside China, say detainees have died in the camps, or shortly after they were let out.

Washington, Nov 3 (AGENCIES): The Trump administration is to reinstate all US sanctions on Iran removed under the 2015 nuclear deal.

The White House said it was “the toughest sanctions regime ever imposed” on Tehran. It targets both Iran and states that trade with it.

However, temporary waivers will be granted to eight countries to allow them to continue importing Iranian oil.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the move “disgraced” US prestige and liberal democracy.

“The challenge between the US and Iran has lasted for 40 years so far and the US has made various efforts against us: military, economic and media warfare,” Khamenei wrote on Twitter on Saturday.

“This new US president has disgraced the remnant of America’s prestige,” he said, adding that “America today is far weaker”, suggesting that US military power was beginning to “wane and deteriorate”.

report says the Spice Girls are about to give fans what they really, really want: a reunion.

The Sun newspaper said Saturday that the 1990s girl group is about to announce a new tour, but without original member Victoria “Posh Spice� Beckham.

The newspaper says the band has recorded a message that will be broadcast Monday announcing a 2019 U.K. stadium tour.

Apart from Beckham, now a successful fashion designer, the lineup includes Melanie “Sporty Spice� Chisholm, Emma “Baby Spice� Bunton, Melanie “Scary Spice� Brown and Geri “Ginger Spice� Horner.

Now, according to a report in The Sun, it is rumoured the group have recorded a video message, to be released on November 5, in which they will announce their reunion together with details of a huge 2019 stadium tour. It is again thought that Victoria Beckham

Keyboardist Jordan Rudess told Lotsofmuzik that Dream Theatre’s follow-up to 2016’s “The Astonishing�, the wildly ambitious double concept LP which has been criticized by some fans for being an overblown, self-indulgent exercise in excess, would see him and his bandmates going “back to the core of the sound — screaming Hammond organ, killing leads, chunky riffs, slamming drums, and everybody will be there moshing!

elevision personality Sharon Osbourne said she “drugged� her rocker husband Ozzy Osbourne so he would confess about his infidelities.

The showbiz world was left shocked in 2016 when Sharon kicked her rocker spouse out of their home after finding out about his extra marital alliances with Michelle Pugh.

The former “The X Factor� judge had found out about the affair accidentally, and she quickly set about getting her husband to confess all, reports aceshowbiz.com. “I was a broken woman. He sent me an e-mail that was meant for one of his women,� the 66-year-old told The Sun. She added: “Then he took his sleeping pills. I put an extra two in his drink... and asked him everything, and everything came out. He would have never told me the truth, ever. He was ashamed, afraid. I knew how long. I knew who it was. “I knew what he was thinking and then, you know, you leave.�

rogressive metal icons Dream Theatre have set “Distance Over Time� as the title of their fourteenth studio album, due out in February 2019. Dream Theatre will kick off the “Distance Over Time� promotional cycle with a six-week North American tour that launches in San Diego, California on March 20. The tour poster includes the tag line “Celebrating 20 Years Of Scenes From A Memory,� a reference to the group’s acclaimed 1999 concept album “Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory�, which the band has not performed live in its entirety in nearly two decades. It is unclear at this point if they plan to do so again in 2019.

To announce the details of “Distance Over Time�, Dream Theatre enlisted the help of fans to spread the word about the release and even to break the news of the record release date, cover artwork, and to share the first taste of never-before-heard music.

With this album, Dream Theatre hoped to create a fan engagement experience unlike any previously

The band are believed to have talked about working on a series of upcoming projects, including TV shows, endorsements, and a greatest hits compilation.

The band was a 1990s phenomenon with hits including “Wannabe� and “Viva Forever.�

They performed as a four-piece for two years after Horner quit the band in 1998, split in 2000 and last reunited at the 2012 London Olympics.

The iconic ’90s girl band formed in 1994, before splitting in 2000. During their hugelysuccessful career, they released three studio albums and a film, Spice World.

Mumbai edge past woeful Chennaiyin Chennai, Nov 3 (PTI): Mumbai City FC rode on Modou Sougou’s 20th minute strike to register a shock 1-0 win over defending champions Chennaiyin FC in an Indian Super League match on Saturday.

While it was Mumbai’s third win in the last four games, Chennaiyin slumped to a fifth defeat in six games this season to continue a surprisingly barren run. John Gregory’s men languish at the bottom of the table with a solitary point from a drawn game against Delhi Dynamos.

The all-impor tant goal came against the run of play when Rafael Bastos sent a through ball to Modou Sougou. The Senegalese player got inside the box and shot with his left foot but Chennaiyin goalie Karanjit Singh made a good stop but he got a second chance and didn’t miss this time. He slotted the ball past the goalkeeper to the far corner to make sure that Mumbai’s first shot was on target.

Chennaiyin had made a good start to the game and they were spurred into action by the Sougou strike but their attempts to level the score didn’t materialise.

They kept attacking and putting in the crosses but a goal continued to elude them. The Mumbai defence held firm under sustained pressure as Andrea Orlandi was in the thick

of things.

Mumbai City goalkeeper Amrinder Singh kept the CFC strikers at bay with some crucial saves including one when Isaac Vanmalsawma took a corner with Orlandi waiting to pounce on the ball.

In the 41st minute, Orlandi had a chance as he got past a few defenders and headed inside the box and attempted to get past Subhasish Bose. Orlandi was down and appealed for a penalty, which was turned down by the referee.

In the second half, the home side played with great resolve but the Mumbai City FC defence held firm under pressure to secure three important points.

As Chennaiyin pressed for the equaliser, Nelson was in the thick of action, pushing forward in the 70th minute but Anirudh Thapa shot wide. A minute later, he put Germanpreet Singh through but the shot was blocked by the Mumbai custodian.

In the 57th minute, Mumbai had an oppor-

Antoine Griezmann celebrates with team-mates after scoring a free-kick.

M a d r i d, N o v 3 (Agencies): Antoine Griezmann scored a brilliant free-kick but Atletico Madrid missed the chance to go top of La Liga on Saturday after drawing 1-1 at struggling Leganes.

Griezmann’s bending effort in the second half looked likely to prove the difference in a contest short on chances at Butarque but Guido Carrillo’s 82ndminute equaliser earned Leganes a deserved point.

Atletico could have moved above Barcelona, for a few hours at least, but instead Diego Simeone’s side sit a point behind the league leaders, who face Rayo Vallecano later on Saturday. Leganes remain 18th and without a win in

five matches.

Diego Costa, Diego Godin and Koke were all struggling with injury and absent from Atleti’s starting line-up, perhaps not deemed worth the risk, with a crunch Champions League clash at home to Borussia Dortmund to come on Tuesday.

Atletico sit second in Group A, three points behind the German side.

But a stuttering run of form will be a concern too for Simeone, whose team were thrashed by Dortmund 4-0 only nine days ago and have now failed to beat Leganes, who are fighting relegation.

Neither side managed a shot on target in the first half and both goals came

from set-pieces in the second.

Griezmann’s strike in the 69th-minute would have been a worthy winner, the Frenchman curling a left-footed effort away from the rooted Pichu Cuellar and into the corner.

But Atletico never looked like putting Leganes away and instead the hosts equalised as Rodri Tarin peeled free at the back post, his finish cannoning down off the crossbar for Carrillo to bundle in.

tunity to double the lead.

Arnold Issoko sent a lovely ball through to Sougou but his attempt was foiled by Eli Sabia.

Gregory brought on Jeje Lalpheklua late in the second half in the hope of bringing some pep into the attack but the Mumbai defenders were steadfast in their job of holding off any rival attacks.

The Mumbai team has moved up to fifth spot with this win, which should make the coach Jorge Costa happy.

PSG top Lille to stay perfect in Ligue 1 Paris, Nov 3 (Agencies): Kylian Mbappe scored a spectacular goal and then set up Neymar as runaway Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain won at home to second-place Lille on Friday.

PSG’s 12th straight win from the start of the season is a record for the top five European leagues, beating Tottenham’s 11 opening wins in 1960.

Marco Verratti helped to create the opening goal in the 70th minute, threading a quick pass to Neymar who then picked out Mbappe’s run.

The France World Cup winner was slightly fortunate as Neymar’s pass clipped the leg of a defender and rolled to him, but he finished exquisitely by curling the ball into the bottom right corner.

Even though the 19year-old has played in only seven of PSG’s Ligue 1 games, he is already the league’s top scorer with 11 goals.

He flicked the ball to Neymar in the 84th minute, and the Brazil forward advanced past three players before his slightly deflected shot from the edge of the area went in.

Lille striker Nicolas Pepe confidently struck a penalty past veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon in the third minute of injury time to make it 2-1.

Wang into WTA Elite Trophy final

Wang Qiang

Z h u h a i , N ov 3 (Agencies): China’s number one Wang Qiang outclassed double grand slam winner Garbine Muguruza on Saturday to book a place in the final of the WTA Elite Trophy against Ashleigh Barty.

The 26-year-old took full advantage of a late call-up to the semi-final tie in Zhuhai after American Madison Keys pulled out just hours before the match started.

Spurred on by home fans at the Hengqin International Tennis Center, 11th seed Wang dominated the former world number one, winning 11 games in a row to take the match 6-2, 6-0.

The world number 22 looked calm and focused during the 73-minute semifinal, while Muguruza ap-

peared out of sorts and frustrated, clattering her racket on to the court in the second set.

Muguruza told her post-match press conference Wang’s performance was “excellent”, adding: “She was playing incredible shots and not missing anything.”

Asked if she was affected by the last-minute change of opponent, she said: “I mean, these things happen. I was ready to play a tough match, either it’s Keys or Wang, whoever it is.

“But, no, I think I played a very tough opponent today. Maybe she was also a little bit surprised that she was playing and a little bit more relaxed.”

Wang’s victory sets up a final clash on Sunday with Australia’s Barty, who

earlier overcame defending champion Julia Goerges 4-6, 6-3, 6-2.

Barty grew into the semi-final against Germany’s Goerges, seeded fifth, and dominated the third set to book her place in Sunday’s showdown in Zhuhai.

Goerges, who celebrated her 30th birthday on Friday, dropped two service games in the deciding set as her 22-year-old opponent motored to victory.

Barty told her postmatch press conference: “It’s always nice to get better as a match goes on.

I felt pretty good physically out there.”

Asked how she was able to turn the match around after losing the first set, she said she made a tactical change.

“I think I had to try an assert myself a little bit earlier in points,” she said.

“Then when I was able to finally get some momentum and get into Julia’s service games, I was able to get into points and work my way into those games and give myself a chance.”

Now in its fourth year the Elite Trophy features 12 players ranked roughly from nine to 20. This year’s total prize money is $2.35 million across the singles and doubles tournaments.

Wang replaced Keys, who had a knee injury, in Saturday’s semi-final because she finished second in their round-robin group with Daria Kasatkina.

UEFA, PSG, Man City targeted in Football Leaks revelations

Lyon, Nov 3 (Agencies): The Union of European Football Associations or UEFA helped Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City get around their own Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules, according to a Football Leaks investigation published. According to the investigation of “more than 70 million documents” analysed “over eight months by 80 journalists” from members of European Investigative Collaborations (EIC), UEFA “knowingly helped the clubs to cover up their own irregularities for ‘political reasons’” under the leadership of Michel Platini and Gianni Infantino.

Both clubs, owned and bankrolled by wealth from Qatar and Abu Dhabi respectively, have avoided the most severe FFP punishment of being excluded from the UEFA Champions League.

Football Leaks claims that between them Qatar and Abu Dhabi have injected some 4.5 billion euros (USD 5.1 billion) over the last seven years to increase the budgets of the clubs they own.

Of that figure, 2.7 billion euros has been invested in City via their Abu-Dhabi owners and from allegedly “overestimated” sponsor-

ship deals.

Football Leaks also points the finger at PSG’s five-year agreement with the Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA), valued at 1.075 billion euros, or 215 million euros a year.

That is despite the investigation claiming that “two independent auditors assigned by UEFA valued the contract at 123,000 euros per year for one, and 2.8 million euros a year for the other”.

UEFA rules say clubs cannot spend more than they earn in any given season and deficits must fall within a 30 million-euro limit over three seasons.

Both PSG and City were fined 60 million euros

by UEFA in May 2014.

French investigative website Mediapart claims Infantino “directly negotiated an agreement with Manchester City”, bypassing the Financial Control Panel.

His proposal was for a “fine of 20 million euros instead of 60.” Reputedly included in copy in emails sent by Infantino to City’s chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak was former French president and PSG fan Nicolas Sarkozy, who also reputedly helped City’s Abu Dhabi owners in their attempts to get around FFP rules.

London, Nov 3 (Agencies): Marcus Rashford scored a stoppage-time winner as Manchester United came from behind to snatch a dramatic 2-1 victory at Bournemouth on Saturday.

The England international rifled home from close range on 92 minutes as United got the better of a resilient Bournemouth defensive display to complete a remarkable turnaround.

Bournemouth flew out of the traps and took a deserved lead on 11 minutes thanks to Callum Wilson’s sixth goal of the season, but Anthony Martial’s fifth goal in five hauled United level against the run of play on 35 minutes.

United were as awful as Bournemouth were brilliant in the opening half an hour.

Unable to cope with the pace and power of the hosts, United were fortunate not to concede inside four minutes as Ryan Fraser fired a low effort straight at David de Gea, after being released by Wilson.

David Brooks and Adam Smith linked up in

Marcus Rashford scored the winning goal for Manchester United from close range with just seconds remaining on the clock.

the United area to set up Junior Stanislas on 11 minutes. He saw a shot deflect behind off Chris Smalling, but Bournemouth were not to be denied much longer.

After United had cleared the resulting corner, a brilliant through pass from Lewis Cook played Stanislas in behind the advanced Luke Shaw and he crossed for Wilson to slot home.

The United goal

lived an enchanted life as Bournemouth pushed for a deserved second. The lively David Brooks glanced a header onto the roof of the net before De Gea was called into action to cut out Stanislas’ curling strike on 23 minutes.

But United’s first purposeful attack triggered a change in momentum.

Martial darted in off the left flank on 33 minutes, cut the ball back to Fred and,

although the Brazilian’s effort was blocked by Nathan Ake, the visitors finally found a foothold.

The equaliser came just two minutes later as Ashley Young threaded Alexis Sanchez in behind the Bournemouth defence and his cutback was clinically dispatched by Martial.

Bournemouth reemerged from the interval on the front foot as Brooks’

deft back-heel drew a save from De Gea on 50 minutes, but United quickly grabbed the initiative in a dominant second-half display.

Asmir Begovic bailed Bournemouth out on three occasions in quick succession: preventing Martial from latching onto a lofted Juan Mata pass, thwarting Shaw’s near-post drive and tipping an Alexis Sanchez header over the bar.

Bournemouth’s rearguard action reached new heights on 64 minutes, with Ake and Brooks brilliantly preventing Rashford and Paul Pogba from converting rebounds after Young struck the angle of post and bar with a free-kick.

But United’s relentless pressure finally told as Pogba’s cross found Rashford and he smashed the ball home two minutes into injury time, leaving Bournemouth with no time to respond.
