Lotha orgs flay imposition of 144 CrPC Council to consider slashing DIMAPUR, NOV 5 (NPN): Lotha Hoho organizations have slammed the district administration for imposing “unprovoked” section 144 CrPC during the silent rally called by Lotha Students’ Union, Lotha Eloe Hoho and All Nagaland Private Schools Association, Wokha Unit on October 9, 2017 to protest against the assault of a student.

Terming the imposition of 144 CrPC by district administration “unprovoked and uncalled for”, the LH chairman Mhao Humstoe and general secretary Er. Mhondamo Ovung in a press statement asserted that the silent peaceful rally was organized in order to express their resentment in democratic way and “was therefore not in any way a violation of any law or rule”.

LH also pointed out that imposition of 144 CrPC by district administration on a silent peaceful rally was against the fundamental democratic right, provisioned in the Indian constitution, and insult to the Lotha

community, the dweller community of the district. In view of the above, Lotha organisations have been compelled to resolve to ask the DC, Wokha, to apologise, through the local print media, LH said.

Therefore, LH said Lotha organizations met DC Wokha on November 3, at DC office Wokha, and submitted a memorandum, asking him to explain and apologise for the abuse of administrative power, within five days.

But since, DC had verbally lamented and requested the organisations to settle the issue amicably in the name of Tokhu Emong and also as he was about to be transferred from Wokha, the Lotha organisations taking cognisance of his verbal apology has agreed “that the apology through print media may not be insisted from him”, LH said.

However, LH said that since unprovoked imposition of section CrPC 144 has remained an issue with the district administration, and the same (Cont’d on p-8)

GST on common use goods

NEW DELHI, NOV 5 (PTI): The all-powerful GST Council may consider lowering tax rates on a host of goods such as handmade furniture, plastic products and daily use items like shampoo, and simplify return filing rules in its meeting this week.The Council, headed by finance minister Arun Jaitley, is scheduled to meet on November 10 to consider lowering of the 28% GST rate on certain common use items, government officials said.

In further relief to small and medium enterprises, the panel is likely to rationalise tax rate in sectors where the total incidence of taxation has gone up because the goods were earlier either exempt from excise or was attracted lower VAT rates in the previous indirect tax regime.

“A rationalisation of items in the 28% tax bracket is expected. Most of the daily use items could be lowered to 18%. Also tax rate on items like furniture, electric switches, plastic pipes could be relooked,” an official said.

The Council has last month approved an Approach Paper to be followed by the fitment committee while deciding on future rate revisions.

Under GST various goods and services have been bracketed in 5, 12, 18 and 28 per cent.

GST has subsumed over a dozen taxes, including excise, service tax and VAT, and transformed India into a single market.

NPCC hits back at former members

D I M A P U R , N OV 5 (NPN): Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) has slammed the continued tirade against the party, particularly against its president, K. Therie, by former Dimapur Dis(Cont’d on p-8) trict Congress Committee (DDCC) office bearers.

In a statement issued by the party’s media cell on Sunday, the NPCC said the continued outbursts were the outcome of political defectors searching for a reason to cover their guilt and shameless actions hoping that the public would be convinced with their “lies and half truths”.

NPCC said that it had made it very clear that only those who believed in the ideology and principles of Indian National Congress were welcome and that par“Today GST has intruded ty workers were to work for into everything. Soon you’ll people and not for position. have to give GST number “This clarity of stand must to buy a cigarette.” have become a tall order

He added that the advice of the State government would be fully considered by the Government of India.

“Once the agreement is reached, it would be essential for all concerned to build the right socio political environment to make all stakeholders join hand for successful implementation of the agreement,” Doval said. In response, the chief minister assured that Nagaland government would do everything possible for facilitating the solution.

Zeliang also appreciated the leadership and vision of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi for the significant progress made in the negotiations for the final settlement to the Naga political issue.

On November 4, the delegation also held a meeting with Union Minister of State for DoNER and PMO, Dr. Jitendra Singh at Nagaland House, wherein secretary to Prime Minister, Bhaskar Khulbe was also present.

During the meeting, chief minister, T.R. Zeliang urged upon the Centre to expedite the peace the process.

The delegation also apprised Singh of their interactions with Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and Centre’s Interlocutor for Naga peace talks RN Ravi.

Dr. Singh appreciated the initiative of the delegation for highlighting the need for an early solution and hoped the settlement was arrived at (Cont’d on p-8) soon.

for some rank opportunists who are now barking with bitterness even after defecting,” the statement added.

It said that the continued attack on their former party and its president was just an attempt by the defectors to be in the good book of their new masters, lest their presence went unnoticed. The party said the former DDCC office bearers would never survive in their new abode by only looking back with bitterness.

“We also thank the divided NPF camp for welcoming the defectors since their camp that exists without any party ideology or principle is the perfect place to host all political defectors. We however caution the leaders of divided NPF camp that political defectors are like migratory birds without any permanent roosting place.

Their loyalty will never be established and tomorrow

at the drop of a hat, they will desert you and hurl choicest of words which only defectors can shamelessly proclaim,” the statement warned.

NPCC also reiterated its commitment to the people of Nagaland of going all out to defeat the combined forces of “corrupt NPF and communal BJP/RSS”.

Stating that the Congress was the last bastion against “destructive forces”, the party appealed to people from all walks of life to come forward and join hands with Congress to provide “clean governance and live as free citizens”.

On Saturday, former DDCC, ACCC, mahilas and frontal bodies rubbished NPCC’s accusations and reminded that they had quit the party due “the unprecedented act and autocratic functioning of the NPCC president.”

CMO ultimatum on NDPP to retract statement DIMAPUR, NOV 5 (NPN): Stung by the statement of the newly floated Nationalist Democratic Progress Party (NDPP) at its Mokokchung convention, which described the present NPF-led DAN coalition government as having failed on all fronts and the “worst ever”; the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) through Namcyn Hau, press secretary to chief minister, T.R. Zeliang has issued an ultimatum on the NDPP to immediately withdraw/retract the statement in order to “avoid repercussions”.

The CM’s press secretary further said, “for their own good, NDPP leaders must understand that their own family members are current minister/s and parliamentary secretary/s running the present day Government and slinging mud against that very government is nothing but political suicide.”

Hau said the audacity of NDPP leaders in questioning the credibility of the state government led by Zeliang and formed with the support of Lok Sabha MP, Neiphiu Rio and others reflected the “not-so-clean” intentions of NDPP and a clear example of double standards.

Hau also warned that the Naga People’s Front (NPF) might not play second fiddle to NDPP either in the upcoming 2018 Assembly elections or in the event of an amicable solution to the protracted “Indo-Naga” issue. He also asked NDPP to validate its accusation with proof instead of banking on political rhetoric.

Despite the claims that

NDPP was formed in response to the call of the masses for a change after consultation with the common people to “fight corruption, be accountable, transparent and restore the governing system”, Hau said it be may be nothing more than political juggleries based on the fact that several NDPP leaders were the top-boss of the DAN government at one point.

“Today, their Pandora box is in the custody of the government and may be opened on unwarranted accusations and therefore, instead of provoking the government, it will do more good by continuing to improve its policies, programs and activities as a responsible political party,” Hau stated.

While not denying that the present day government has its own drawbacks, Hau however said that the government was putting its best of effort to tackle prevailing issues at hand and would continue to do in the coming future.

Hau also hit back by warning that while NDPP had supported the NPF and its government at the NPF Convention in Dimapur but at defaming the same government at its consultative meet at Mokokchung would not further the cause of the NDPP as a political party.

“If at all NDPP under its motto ‘By Deeds, not Words’ is serious on building a ‘good Nagaland’, it can do a lot better by focusing on its priorities instead of bad-mouthing the Government and using the same as boosters for the party’s start-up,” he advised.

Meghalaya CM on HNLC’s ‘hit-list’

Correspondent

SHILLONG, NOV 5: Meghalaya’s outlawed Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) on Sunday made a veiled threat by declaring that it has included chief minister, Mukul Sangma in its “top hit list”.

In an e-mailed statement issued to media houses, the outfit spokesperson Sainkupar Nongtraw also warned Sangma of receiving a “bullet” if he did not change his “dictatorial” mind set.

Nongtraw held the chief minister responsible for the state’s “economic downfall” while also alleging that the Congress was not in favour of protecting the indigenous tribes from influx.

“The chief minister is not in favour to control influx as he himself supports the same. Our people should understand that the Congress government is trying to reduce our ‘Jaidbynriew’ into a minority by encouraging influx,” Nongtraw alleged. Nongtraw said the decision to include Sangma in the “hit list” was after receiving several complaints against the chief minister from various quarters.

“A person (Sangma) who gave us the hope of peace talks and cheated us does not deserve to live. He is a parasite to our ‘Jaidbynriew’. We have taken this decision after we had received a lot of complaints against the chief minister starting from Jaintia hills, Ri Bhoi, West Khasi hills and even Garo hills,” the outfit said.

IMPHAL, Nov 5: A dawnto-dusk general strike on Sunday called by Maoist Communist Party-Manipur against alleged misappropriation of public distribution system (PDS) items affected normal life in Manipur.

Streets and market places across Imphal city wore a deserted look and a sharp reduction in the traffic volume was witnessed on the streets due to the general strike.

Almost all the commercial vehicles including short distance passenger services stayed off the road during the strike hours. However, private vehicles were seen moving on the streets.

Similar situation were reported from other parts of the state, particularly in the

Security forces apprehend NSCN (IM) cadre D imapu r , N o v 5 (NPN): Security forces apprehended a self styled private of NSCN (IM) in the early hours of Sunday from Longding village. Based on a specific input of a cadre trying to terrorize and extort money, Longding battalion swiftly launched an operation and apprehended the cadre identified as Ganhee Wangpan, said PRO (Defence) in a press release. A pistol and live ammunition was recovered from his possession.

Post spot interrogation, the cadre admitted to being active part of the outfit since 2010 and had undergone training at NSCN training camp, said the PRO (Defence) release. The cadre has been actively involved in extortion activities in Longding and Tirap district and has been apprehended twice before in 2010 and 2012, it added.

valley district. No untoward incident was reported from anywhere during the strike hour.

Meanwhile, there was no shadow of general strike in hill districts except nonarrival of inter-district passenger service vehicles as per reports received from the district headquarters.

The general strike, commenced from 5 am to 5 pm, was given demanding action against the culprits who are responsible for the misappropriation of PDS items.

The Maoist alleged that the state consumer affairs, food and public distribution (CAF&PD) minister has turned deaf ears to the pleas demanding punishment of those responsible for the non availability of PDS items.

New Delhi, Nov 5 (PTI): The CPI (M) has accused the BJP-RSS of pumping crores of rupees into poll-bound Tripura to fund “violent activities” in the state. Tripura, which is slated to go to polls early next year, has been witnessing violent confrontations between tribals and nontribal groups.

The CPI (M) has published a booklet titled “Tripura -people first model” to “project the true picture regarding the conspiracy of the BJP against the state government”.

On the occasion, the chief minister announced Rs 1.5 crore as a grant-in aid to Don Bosco College, Maram under RUSA scheme.

Of this total amount Rs 25 lakhs had already been given to the college and another Rs 50 lakhs would be sanctioned by the end of next year, the chief minister added. He further said that a proposal of Rs six to seven crores would be sent to North Eastern Council (NEC) for the construction of library cum science laboratory of the college.

He also directed DC Senapati to co-ordinate with planning department and PWD for the black topping of the approach road to the college. State PHED minister Losii Dikho, former minister Francis Ngajokpa, principal secretary (planning) Vineet Joshi were among others who attended the function.

He said that the scheme would be launched from January 1, 2018 and every member of those BPL families can avail the benefit.

He further pointed out that the state government will launch a special scheme for differently abled persons. Under the special scheme, the government would provide a monthly stipend of Rs 1,500 to those who are permanently disabled persons.

The government will also provide free education to the differently abled students in the state and no fare would be charged for persons with disabilities travelling in State public transportation, he assured.

Asserting that education is a means to end violence, the chief minister said that this (education) can lead people to the path of peace and prosperity.

Imparting good and quality education to the students can root out the prevailing corruption in the state, he added.

Stating that “if education collapses everything will collapse in the society,” he appealed the students not to use any unfair meth-

circumstances, could the four Chakma candidates could be barred or deprived of competing in the APPSCCE, 2017, “as they are Indian citizen by all means and by birth”. CNCI Assam committee chief Dangu Sambhu Dhan Chakma said that they will approach courts if this gross injustice persists, citing a Delhi High Court order that Chakmas born in India are citizens by birth under Section 3(1)(a) of the Citizenship Act. The removal of names of Chakma candidates “on the ground that their citizenship status is under consideration” was “a blatant violation of rule of law and a deliberate attempt to keep the Chakma youths in a state of misery”, he added.

Ruing that the APPSC seems to operate “based on the whimsical mercy” of the All Arunachal Pradesh Students Union, he urged it to “stop selfishly fanning baseless hatred towards the innocent Chakma community by means of irrational rhetoric and hate-mongering against a helpless and deprived community”.

Singh was in Senapati district to inaugurate the newly constructed Rev Fr NV Jose Memorial Multipurpose Auditorium at Don Bosco College, Maram.

Addressing the gathering after the inauguration, Singh asserted that the vision and sole objective of the new government was to bring positive change and development in the state.

While also assuring that the government would never hurt the sentiments of any communities living in the state, he added, “We should respect, help and share feelings of each other only then peace and tranquility will prevail in the state.”

Singh said that the new government was planning to introduce new welfare schemes for the poor and needy people to bring inclusive development in the state.

Giving an outline of the new proposed schemes, he said that the government would introduce a health insurance scheme to provide financial assistance of Rs two lakh to those who cannot afford medical treatment. It will benefit around

G uwahati , N ov 5 (IANS): The Chakma tribals’ apex body has condemned the Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission’s (APPSC) removal of four eligible Chakma candidates from the state civil service exam as “the highest form of racial discrimination” and a “gross” human rights violation, warning of legal options if this was not remedied.

The APPSC on Saturday struck down the candidatures of four Chakma applicants, who had reportedly qualified to appear for the preliminary round of the Arunachal Pradesh Service Combined Competitive Examinations (APPSCCE), 2017. The development comes at a time when the Chakmas living in Arunachal Pradesh are demanding implementation of the Supreme Court instruction to grant them citizenship which is opposed by several local organizations.

He said the Congress and corruption were inseparable.

Modi said more than three lakh companies had shut down after demonetisation and a probe into 5,000 such firms had found a fraud of Rs 4,000 even as investigation against others was on. He said the Congress was “angry” at demonetisation as it was still feeling its effect, and cited it as the reason for the party’s “mourning” by giving a public protest call.

G-20 is flawed on deficit

Nagaland Post Vol. XXVII NO. 332 Dimapur, monday, November 6, 2017

A

A litmus test

fter making public several irregularities in financial transactions of various government departments which have been widely publicised in the local media), Nagaland Public Rights Awareness and Action Forum (NPRAAF) has disclosed it was initiating a formal submission for a probe by a central agency on all the allegations made and copies of which would be addressed to the prime minister and the state governor. The allegations so far highlighted by NPRAAF including other civil society groups during the past several months and years, point to a very shocking practise of rampant and blatant corrupt practise. For instance, NPRAAF has pointed out that the finance department had issued questionable financial drawal authority to various government departments twice for the same project. NPRAAF had cited several instances of the finance department giving sanction twice for the same project through Drawal Authority (DA). This highly questionable practise is yet to be explained and justified (legally) by the finance department. For example the finance department had issued DA twice for R&B departments on two consecutive financial years of the same amount and for the same divisions. There had also been similar cases of double DA issued to departments. The latest being Tenyiphe area were 17 hostels were to have been constructed but for which there is no evidence on the ground. Shockingly the finance department had issued DA for the so-called 17 hostels twice @ Rs.72 lakh or in total a sum of Rs.Rs.1.44 crore. The Tenyiphe village councils (I, II and III) have issued a public statement denying that any hostel project was ever launched or initiated under any of the jurisdictions. They have also expressed shock that Rs.1.44 crore had been released by the finance department for the non-existent work. The finance department should have immediately come out with facts about the allegations since they are of a very serious nature.

Maintaining silence will only heighten suspicion that the DAs were part of a conspiracy at the highest levels of the government to defraud the state. The so-called construction of 17 hostels under the jurisdiction of Tenyiphe villages only serves to heighten suspicion that it was nothing but a way to loot money meant for public at some levels of the government. Perhaps the sum involved as one of the instalments was Rs.72 lakhs and probably the money went elsewhere and not to the department so another amount of Rs.72 lakhs was issued through the second DA in order to take care of the departmental aspect. Several such instances of double DA certainly only gives way to suspicion that huge amount of money meant for various projects are getting siphoned off at some levels. Now NPRAAF believes it can have some central agencies to probe all such allegations of monumental corruption but the fact is that without the consent of the state and central government neither the CBI nor NIA or even the ED can act on their own. Even before the NPRAAF had exposed how funds were allegedly being siphoned off at certain levels of the government, there had also been various other allegations of serious corruption but the state government had refused to give the nod.

Even in the case with the most recent Pillai case in the Police, the previous chief minister and his cabinet had given the nod but after the change of guard, the matter has never been heard. It is up to the NPRAAF on how it can actually translate its proposal into activating central probe into these allegations.

DailyDevotion Partakers of His Suffering …but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings… —1 Peter 4:13 If you are going to be used by God, He will take you through a number of experiences that are not meant for you personally at all. They are designed to make you useful in His hands, and to enable you to understand what takes place in the lives of others.

Because of this process, you will never be surprised by what comes your way. You say, “Oh, I can’t deal with that person.” Why can’t you? God gave you sufficient opportunities to learn from Him about that problem; but you turned away, not heeding the lesson, because it seemed foolish to spend your time that way.

The sufferings of Christ were not those of ordinary people. He suffered “according to the will of God” (1 Peter 4:19), having a different point of view of suffering from ours. It is only through our relationship with Jesus Christ that we can understand what God is after in His dealings with us. When it comes to suffering, it is part of our Christian culture to want to know God’s purpose beforehand. In the history of the Christian church, the tendency has been to avoid being identified with the sufferings of Jesus Christ.

People have sought to carry out God’s orders through a shortcut of their own. God’s way is always the way of suffering— the way of the “long road home.”

Are we partakers of Christ’s sufferings? Are we prepared for God to stamp out our personal ambitions? Are we prepared for God to destroy our individual decisions by supernaturally transforming them? It will mean not knowing why God is taking us that way, because knowing would make us spiritually proud. We never realize at the time what God is putting us through— we go through it more or less without understanding. Then suddenly we come to a place of enlightenment, and realize— “God has strengthened me and I didn’t even know it!”

ndia’s is a fledgling economy. It needs to be tended with care. It is like a yogi.

As long as it practices yoga, it balances its health between good and not so good. A little un-tending can throw it off track.

It is still a developing economy trying to be bracketed with the highly developed ones. India wants to have G8 expanded to G10 to include the two largest but jerky economies, itself and China. That may change global perception but realities may not be different.

Revenue secretary Hansmukh Adhia has rightly diagnosed it. The GST is uncomfortable for the small and medium sector. He wants it to be revisited for their comfort.

He indicates that recent price rises of many commodities, including textile, garment, vegetables and other items have a link to the GST. What Adhia says is true of all its taxes. India has to have a relook beyond the GST. The 2014 was a landmark. It came with many hopes. Taxes would be rationalized – come down; prices would be affordable, banks would behave better and

Nagaland Post, Dimapur MonDAY, November 6, 2017

reduce charges, jobs would grow and the nation would feel the real prosperity.

Many happened. Most somehow are yet to happen.

The hope is still there with a dynamic Prime Minister Narendra Modi. People have hope in him despite the opposition brouhaha. He has the reputation of doing the undone. A beginning has to be made. The GST has one good aspect. Except its implementation, nobody is rigid about its framework. It is changing and possibly with Adhia’s comments, it is in for more changes.

This good part has to extend to other aspects of the economy as well. Many realize it, many try to ignore it.

This is the most taxed country with irrational rules. Its obsession with black money, which as the note-ban figures denoted is not more than one percent of the total currency notes circulated at approximately Rs 16,000 crore that did not come back to the RBI coffers. It is also true as per an Oxfam study that a mere one percent people have grabbed 58 percent of the wealth here.

So it is no more a guess who may be having the black

money. The rest 99 percent shares a mere 42 percent of the wealth.

Let this country rethink about what is black. In reality, it has grown in proportion to the free public sector bank lending post 2008 US-Euro sub-prime crisis. India was untouched Shivaji by it but the irrational lending has led the country to a trap of Rs 12 lakh crore unpaid debt – people’s money that was swindled away by large corporate as per the Economic Survey 2016.

The trade, business and the common earners have long been cherishing an easier income-tax and bank operations. The hope is still there. All want an affordable tax and charges. All these classes are in an exploitative multi-tax regime. Personal income-tax (PIT) robs them of almost five months of their earnings.

Bank charges, demand for identity, TDS on deposits, tolls on highways, various rising local body taxes and charges, medical expenses, fuel and transport costs including spiralling train, bus, metro and taxi fares, electric-

ity and water rates, parking charges, property stamp duties and many others are robbing the people of whatever they earn.

If the state or its wings usurp whatever they earn, they are left with little to spend. In terms of economy it is called lack Sarkar of disposable income – key to the progress. The state has to make a beginning with the (PIT), the most irrational of all and then move on to the tolls, said to be the highest in the world.

The I-T revenue loss would be about Rs 3 lakh crore plus. The direct savings in tax administration would be over Rs 1 lakh crore, inspections another at least Rs 50 lakh crore – the net notional revenue loss approximately Rs 1.5 lakh crore. The net gain to the economy is Rs 3 lakh plus crore - including the compliance costs. It would be an important lubricant.

The taxpayers would have a greater relief that they would also be freed of tax terror and can spend their money with confidence without a prying eye. Is there

a rational that if a person sells any belonging he is made to deduct a TDS of one percent of the buyer’s payment, deposit it in his IT account, which the seller claims next financial year and paid possibly a year later?

Is there any rationale for such utopian procedure?

Does it really save black money generation? No. It only complicates procedures blocks money circulation and slows the economy down.

The flip side is many avoid transactions altogether. That is the net loss to the state and compounded loss to the economy.

Euphoria alone does not create a thriving economy.

It would be if there is flow of money. Choking it and channelizing it through banks add to the costs, causes inflation, drives away buyers, the policymakers do a merry-goround and nothing thrives. In economy, wishes can never be horses.

A cash of Rs 100 even after a lakh of transactions remain Rs 100. If it is moved through banks or digital system with charges of 1 to 2.5 percent each time it would be adding to almost Rs 2 lakh

of charges to be gobbled up by the one percent rich. The poor and middle class would lose and they would not be able to go to the market. The UNCTAD has rightly given a call against such financialisation. Let us rethink.

This has to extend to all other charges. The state is a creation of the citizens. It has to work in their interest and not for the profit of the few.

Most levies can be reduced.

Ultimately, being the largest entity it helps the state as its expenses – fiscal deficit -would come down.

The state cannot be a guzzler of people’s money and pauperise them. The G-20 prescription of tough tax regime and control of finances is flawed. Mere deficit control would not be a solution.

The country does not need incentives but rational taxes and levies. It needs a wider discussion to change the nation’s financial system.

Trust the people, lower taxes and levies, make transactions simpler, the economy would thrive. The bonus nobody would try to save taxes and generate what is called the black.

Post-mortem Give sufficient time to NNPGs

W

e should bear in mind that NNPG Working group had political discussion with India Interlocutor R.N. Ravi only for the first time on 23rd September 2017. It is barely one month since the political dialogue had taken place.

On the other hand, it took several years for the NSCN (IM) to come to a ‘Framework Agreement’. So as the talk with NNPG is very recent, it is the wishes and desire of the Naga people that sufficient and reasonable time is given to the NNPG to come to a logical conclusion with R.N. Ravi.

In the light of this situation, the recent meeting with the Indian Home Minister and R.N. Ravi by Nagaland Chief Minister, Ministers and Lok Sabha MP on 3rd November to settle the Naga issue before Christmas (Setting a deadline) was a wrong move and does not augured well with the protracted Naga political settlement which remained elusive for over 70 years.

We should not do anything in haste. Holding General Election is secondary concern and amicable settlement of Naga political issue is our primary and top concern. Therefore setting one two months time frame to conclude the vexed issue as pressurised by the State political Leaders is not acceptable.

Moreover if anything on a Naga political issue had to be done, first the Naga people should be consulted.

Strife rigorously not unclean poll

t has become imperative for Nagaland to pragmatically conduct clean poll this time round and this cannot be compromised at any cost. Despite of having acknowledging the crucial aftermath of a clean poll to harbor a sound system and harmonious development, it is inadequate having to have hear rumors of elements trying to motivate regression by adopting to conventional method of monetary-influential amassment of voters and other unscrupulous means. The state and the people have an extensive role to play to expunge out the ill-practices.

It would require of the law enforcing authority to be vigilant as well as responsive to illicit adventures of undemocratic elements—should it favor to the discontent of the change seeking public.

The incident at Mokokchung…where it was reported of an intending candidate (name withhold), of having arranged a mob to demoralize the section of public who were campaigning for clean election, is a forthright provocation to hamper the desire of peoples’ sentimental ordinance for clean polls. In the future, we should be prepared for such misadventures by filling an FIR and taking a legal course of action against those who deliberately seek to disproportionate the peoples movement – for which does not require particular section of the constitution about the peculiarity of the case, to press charges on and seek justice; natural justice as embedded in the constitution and our common sense will resonate to justice.

[For instance: the “common law” (laws established through

court judgments) of UK’s unwritten constitution – at the heart of it lies the principle, known as ‘stare decisis’ – that judges should decide cases according to consistent principles and rules, so that similar facts will reveal similar results. Emphasis here is to be laid on the peculiarity of the case.] The point being that every criminal act is a legal offence and it could be pursued in a court of law.

The election commission (state) should also make it an effort to ensure the success of a goal-oriented outcome—one that would entail progression, which would be-in-effect only after a true democratic means of election. Some reasonable measures would be to bar the candidates or expel/terminate his candidature if found to be resorting to unethical means for harboring votes. Based on past events about candidates gathering mob and capturing booths… upon such factual instigation, the law enforcing authority should also well coordinate with the public to check and book the culprits to be put up for a trail in court for contempt.

We the people have also been constantly put into the misconception of essentially being at the mercy of the prominent parties to mount up alone for participating in the quest to represent and bear the grievance of the people – which although hasn’t bore if any contentment as to suffice the suppressed lot, caught up in the cycle, as much as to appease the mass for consecutive term. The notion also sums up for introspection; if it obnoxiously is a priority or privilege; which hitherto has

been the later due to implication of undemocratic and unethical methods as well as regular discrepancies being assimilated owing to distanced and opaque intrinsic factor in exchanging (on both and the other) – the relevance of being constant in communicating via democratic expression. Thus, the challenge we the people truly face is, whether our dependence on adamant prominent representatives would exceedingly solve our deteriorated socio-economic and political conditions.

It is eminent that our prominent political figures and their governments have subsequently failed to deliver to the people the dynamics required for development let alone its manifestation. Because the people deserve more and only that it is rightfully ours—which has been long due, with every successive government failing desolately short. It is apparent that our whole state mechanism has to be stirred and rinsed thoroughly and begin-anew without which, the anticipation for development is a lost cause. We falter at our infrastructural accomplishment when the pot-holes could also not be filled up unswervingly – to say the least, even in National Highway 39, whilst there is the long proposed vision for a four lane. But why should we be contended by a four lane, why not an eight lane? Why not multiple eight lane? And can the money inclined representatives actually keep up with the expectations of the public if there will not be much to be siphoned off.

The need for a communitized enforcement of building bye-laws

(From previous issue) Process – If a person is going to build a house. He needs to have his/her building plan reviewed by the local community empaneled architect and structure engineer – These local community empaneled local engineers just ensure that building/structure is built as per the law! Example, ample distance from road is maintained, garage is in place, the height of building is maintained, structure is stable and earthquake resistant in compliance to seismic zone requirements, ample space for roads, footpaths etc etc and also maybe if necessary comply to certain aesthetics standards so that the overall city looks beautiful and standard.

If a person is spending minimum Rs.40 lac to build a house, she/he should be able to spare a few thousand rupees to make building plan from empaneled architect, structure engineer in compliance to the law of the land! Unless we have such a regulation in place, Kohima is already becoming a giant slum with so much chaos, we need to enforce this building bye law in an

indigenous yet smart way. Too many cooks do spoil the curry and a consensus can never be agreed upon in a lifetime. It is better to set a timeline and push for gathering inputs from the wiser lot of the community along with technical experts. Focusing only on the issue of building bye laws without getting diverted into other issues can help resolve this and enforce it immediately before things go out of hand in managing our capital and other towns.

Those corrupted and selfish individuals should be replaced by those who care for our community than oneself, in order for our sick community and the sick State to be restored into the path of a happy, prosperous acting locally and thinking globally, productive and sustainable progressive community.

What is done cannot be undone, but what is yet happen in future can be regulated and controlled if we take steps today. Ensuring small solutions such as Online Inner Line Permit, indigenous/community enforced building bye laws etc would make a huge difference in building a healthy, beautiful and sustainable

A glimmer of hope

community. Let us have a vision for this beautiful city. It is sick today, but with combined efforts and team work, I believe we can turn Kohima into the city of our dreams and set an example to the rest of the country and the world.

From a being compared to a Brazilian favela, we can turn Kohima into a Greek Santorini or even better. Let us all work towards building our dream Dimapur, Mokokchung, Wokha, Kiphire, Tuensang, Peren, Ukhrul, Mon, Pfustero, Zunheboto, Senapati, Mao and yes all urban or rural habitats by creating relevant Rural or Urban laws to regulate our habitats which will allow us to live and thrive in harmony with nature and with one another.

N

agaland for quite a long time has been plundered with inefficiency in governance which has gravely affected our society. Unethical and unlawful affairs in the functioning of governmental departments have been rampant with no sign of deceleration. Without a doubt, the department of school education dominates the list. However, now the parents whose children are admitted in government schools can heave a sigh of relief. The directorate of school education’s order of detachment/ re-deployment to all the teachers to their actual postings is highly commendable, provided it is put into force.

As far as I know, those teachers were legally appointed by the government so as to impart education which is a guaranteed fundamental right. And the absence of teachers deprive the children of their rights, but for reasons best known to them, those teachers with the blessings of big shots decided to attach their posting to a “Do not touch me Zone” which is unjustifiable.

It is quite amusing to observe that most government teachers admit their children in the best private schools available with all resources and want their children to be fed with all the sophisticated knowledge. But sadly, when it comes to the part in executing their duties, they begin to juggle the lives of those innocent children or in some other case self-appointing as School inspector, more irregular then a college student who usually bunk classes . Whereby, in the process our society is victimised.

It was long overdue nevertheless the responsible department seems to have woken up from its heavy sleep and while at it , the other bigger issue that needs to be tackled is the distillation of proxy and legally appointed teachers and uprooting the practice of proxy through effective mechanism by the responsible authority which is otherwise severely stagnating the system of education in government sector also resulting in poor results.

Therefore, it is with great hope that with genuine responsible person in the decision making chair this unjust practices is repressed.

Reader’s Post Sir,

Dilapidated road

We the senior citizens and residents of Kohima town express our dismay over the dilapidated road condition particularly from Classic junction towards Khuchiezie (Jasokie Road) side upto D.C. Office and State Bank of India. The irony is that the road named after the former Chief Minister of Nagaland late J.B. Jasokie, is in a pathetic condition. The Department of PWD should have given priority to fill up potholes with black topping in honour of late Jasokie. It is a disgrace that nothing has been done so far to repair this portion of road at all. There are numerous pot-holes on the road making it difficult for both pedestrians and vehicular traffic. While negotiating potholes by vehicles, school going children needs to be extra cautious to avoid mishap. Children carrying heavy school bags and walking on this road sometimes stumble in the potholes and becomes victim of accident. No steps have been taken so far to mitigate the miseries of even senior citizens who often take strolls in the morning through numerous potholes. Proper safety of public is jeopardized which calls for immediate fill up of potholes with black topping in the interest of public service.

Therefore, we request concerned Department of PWD to seriously look into our plight and initiate appropriate action to carry out necessary repair works and fill up these potholes with black topping particularly in this portion of road as mentioned above otherwise the Department of PWD will be solely responsible in the event of any mishap caused due to bad road condition.

Hang culprits to death in public: MP’s rape victim

DC Sagar inspecting the scene of gang-rape near Habibganj Railway station in Bhopal, on Friday.

Bhopal, Nov 5 (IANS): A young woman -- gang raped by four persons in Bhopal on Sunday demanded that the culprits should be hanged in public for their crime and flayed the police for its “unhelpful” attitude in the whole affair.

‘Security needed to boost tourism’

NEW DELHI, Nov 5 (AGENCIES): The Union tourism ministry’s renewed efforts to improve security for foreign tourists in India, in the aftermath of the attack on the Swiss couple in Fatehpur Sikri last month, has led to the revival of a long-pending proposal to depute the Central Industrial Security Force at key heritage monuments in the country. At present, CISF personnel guard important heritage monuments like the Taj Mahal in Agra, the Salar Jung museum in Hyderabad, and the Red Fort in New Delhi. In 2016, the Chennai circle of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) had also decided to rope in the services of the CISF, after an idol smuggling racket was unearthed. Red Fort was given CISF cover in 2000, while the Taj Mahal got it after a SC order in 2002.

Former DG, CISF, Arvind Ranjan, however, said any effort to enhance the tourist experience and to improve security around tourist destinations must begin with the tourism ministry taking ownership of the initiative, and with coming up with a definitive policy that can cover security aspects.

“The culprits should be handed out the severest of punishments so that no one else dare commit such a crime. They should be given death, hanged to death on the streets so that there is no repeat of the crime,” 19-year-old Puja (not real name) told the media, the

first time she did so after the crime was committed in the Madhya Pradesh capital on Tuesday evening.

Puja, whose parents are police personnel themselves and posted in another city, was returning home from coaching classes late on Tuesday evening when she was accosted by two inebriated persons near the Habibganj railway station and raped for three hours.

One of the accused subsequently called two more men, who also sexually assaulted the woman.

Two city police stations kept dilly-dallying over registering an FIR, saying the place of occurrence did not fall within

their jurisdiction. Finally, the case was registered two days after the crime and two accused arrested.

“The attitude of the police officials was the worst in the case. They forced us to run from one police station to another.

When we had to go through the ordeal, despite the fact that both my parents are in police, imagine the plight of other common persons in similar situation,” the young woman said.

“It is really regrettable that though police caught hold of the accused, they did not register my complaint. A Sub-Inspector from the MP Nagar police station inspected the crime

scene after we went to police at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, a day after the crime, but he raised jurisdiction issues,” she said. It was the family which caught hold of one accused who was found playing cards near the crime scene, who was later handed over to police.

The woman said police personnel at the Habibganj police station were cooperative, while those at the GRP police station and MP Nagar police station were not. On Friday, five police officers were suspended following a recommendation in a report submitted by Deputy Inspector social media group by the name “The Indigenous Naga” (TIN) which was formed to General of Police Sudhir A tackle illegal immigrants/IBI issue, carried out a poster campaign on November 4 after Lad on the incident. its official meeting, TIN stated.

Centre’s interlocutor begins Kashmir visit Suspected ISIS operative arrested in Mumbai New Delhi, Nov 5 (IANS): The central government’s newly-appointed interlocutor Dineshwar Sharma will begin a six-day visit to the Kashmir Valley from Monday to open talks with “all stakeholders” and understand the “pain and suffering” of a common Kashmiri. This will be Sharma’s first trip to the valley after he was appointed the government’s Kashmir pointsman on October 23 to begin “sustained dialogue process... (and) understand legitimate aspirations of the people, especially youth” in the troubled state.

He said he would return to Delhi on November

Dineshwar Sharma

11, hoping that his efforts will result in “peace and prosperity” in Jammu and Kashmir.

“I am hopeful I will be able to contribute towards peace and prosperity in Kashmir,” he said. Asked whom did he plan to meet during his visit, Sharma

said: “I want to understand the pain and suffering of Kashmiris. I know it is not a problem that can be solved overnight or in just one visit. It is a step one towards bringing peace in the state.

“I am open to talking to everybody. Anybody who believes in peace and wants to come and give me some ideas how to go about, I am willing to listen.”

Sharma is expected to meet political leaders, traders and students. However, separatist leaders, including Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Yaseen Malik have declined to have parleys with the interlocutor.

He said it was their choice whether they want to meet him or not. “I can only suggest everyone to contribute to peace building in the state. People have suffered a lot there.” Sharma is an old Kashmir hand who served as Assistant Director Intelligence Bureau in the state from 1992-94 - the time when militancy was at its peak in Jammu and Kashmir.

He headed the IB for two years from December 2015 to December 2016.

It was also the time when widespread violent street protests erupted in the Kashmir Valley following the death of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani.

NEW DELHI, Nov 5 (AGENCIES): The Uttar Pradesh Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) has arrested suspected ISIS terrorist Abu Zaid from the Mumbai Airport, a top police official said today.

Zaid was arrested yesterday on his arrival from Saudi Arabia. “Abu Zaid, suspected ISIS terrorist was arrested by the ATS team from Mumbai Airport yesterday after he came from Saudi Arabia,” ADG (Law and order) Anand Kumar told reporters here. He said Zaid was residing in Riyadh and formed a social media group to allegedly radicalise youths and lure them to ISIS. “He will be brought to Lucknow on a transit remand

AISECT UNIVERSITY, BHOPAL, MP

and will be produced in the court. We will take him in police custody for interrogating him,” the ADG said. In April, the ATS had arrested four suspected ISIS terrorist

Umar alias Nazim, Ghazi Baba alias Muzammil, Mufti alias Faizan and Jakawan alias Eihtesham. Zaid’s name had cropped up during interrogation.

“Preliminary enquiry on the basis of information received from 56 banks in respect of 35,000 companies involving 58,000 accounts has revealed that an amount of over Rs 17,000 crore was deposited and withdrawn post demonetisation,” the release said.

In one case, a company which had a negative opening balance on November 8, 2016, deposited and withdrew Rs 2,484 crore post demonetisation, it added. Last November, the government cancelled old Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes as legal tenders as part of larger efforts to fight the black money problem and corruption. According to the government, one company was having as many as 2,134 accounts.

The information regarding such firms have been shared with enforcement authorities for further action.

With respect to deregistered companies, state governments have been advised to disallow registration of properties of such entities.

However, he said, for further accelerating this growth momentum and moving towards a less cash economy, both the government and regulators need to continue efforts. “...seamless access to payments network and other critical payments infrastructure like UPI and RTGS, among others ...will make sure that incentives continue to grow for digital transactions. These critical steps can drive our current industry growth of 10 per cent transactions to 50 per cent in the next 5 years,” he added. According to Bhavik Vasa - Chief Growth

New Delhi, Nov 5 (PTI): Cash deposits worth over Rs 17,000 crore were made and later withdrawn post demonetisation by as many as 35,000 companies, which are now deregistered, the government said today. As it steps up the fight against illicit fund flows, so far names of around 2.24 lakh companies that have been inactive for long have been struck off from the official records and 3.09 lakh directors have been disqualified.

To keep a tab on dummy directors being appointed to the boards of corporates, work is on to put in place a mechanism wherein new applications for directorship would be linked with PAN and Aadhaar numbers of the individual concerned.

Stating that around 2.24 lakh companies have been struck off till date for remaining inactive for two years or more, an official release said restrictions have been imposed on operation of their bank accounts as well as on sale and transfer of their properties.

The company is targeting to bring into fold over 10 lakh merchants over the next few months, it said.

Globally, this is seen as an exciting time for fintech, especially payment processing.

According to the Payments Council of India, the growth rate of the digital payments industry, which was earlier in the range of 20-50 per cent, has accelerated post demonetisation to 40-70 per cent.

“However, demonetisation is just one of the milestones towards our country’s cashless journey and not the final destination. It conveyed a strong psychological message to our countrymen that cash is not welcome and digitisation of cash is inevitable. This also resulted in doubling of the number of PoS machines in just one year...,” Payments Council of India Chairman Navin

“Around 3.09 lakh directors have been affected by this action. Preliminary inquiry has shown that over 3,000 disqualified directors are directors in more than 20 companies each, which is beyond the limit prescribed under the law. “With a view to checking the problem of dummy directors, action is underway to seed Director Identification Number with Permanent Account Number and Aadhaar,” it added.

The Prime Minister’s Office has constituted a Special Task Force under the joint chairmanship of the Revenue Secretary and Corporate Affairs Secretary to oversee the drive against defaulting companies with the help of various enforcement agencies.

MUMBAI, Nov 5 (PTI): Digital payment companies have seen a substantial jump in their business as a result of the government’s measures towards promoting cashless transactions post demonetisation last year.

These firms are likely to further consolidate their business with more incentives for digital transactions.

“In the last 12 months, we saw over 3 times growth.

Before demonetisation, we were processing monthly transactions of Rs 3,000 crore, which now stands at Rs 6,800 crore across all our verticals,” Atom Technologies Managing Director and CEO Dewang Neralla said.

The major contributor to this growth was online payments business, he indicated.

“Our focus has been largely on the education, travel ticketing financial services, C2G payments and cable and wireless industries and we have seen all round growth both in terms of enrolments as well as transactions.

“Apart from the restrictions on bank accounts, action has also been taken to restrict sale and transfer of moveable and immoveable properties of struck-off companies until they are restored. The state governments have been advised to take necessary action in this regard by disallowing registration of such transactions,” it added. The Corporate Affairs Ministry said that the information with respect to such companies had been shared with enforcement authorities, including the Central Board of Direct Taxes, Financial Intelligence Unit, Department of Financial Services and Reserve Bank of India for further necessary action.

Companies have also been identified for inquiry, inspection and investigation under the Companies Act, 2013 and necessary action is underway, it added. “Separately, action has also been

The two new features, which are not officially under testing mode yet, were first spotted by Matt Navarra, director of social media at the online publication The Next Web. According to Recode, Facebook confirmed that the “breaking news” tag was for a future test, but declined to share more details. Recode said that the social media giant, however, neither gave information about “red envelope” feature, nor denied its existence.

Following the action of striking-off of defaulting companies, restrictions have also been imposed on operation of their bank accounts, said a statement from the Corporate Affairs Ministry. It added that a preliminary inquiry on the basis of information received from 56 banks revealed that 35,000 companies involving 58,000 accounts saw suspicious transactions with over Rs 17,000 crore being deposited and withdrawn from those accounts postdemonetisation. “In one case, a company which had a negative opening balance on November 8, deposited and withdrew Rs 2,484 crore

No social media access for Britons under 13 LONDON, NOV 5 (IANS): Under a new legislation to be debated in the UK’s House of Lords later this week, children under the age of 13 will be banned from joining Facebook and Twitter to keep them safe from child abuse on the social media platforms.

According to a report in The Telegraph, the government’s Data Protection Bill will legally enshrine the age at which children will be allowed to create accounts on social media platforms.

The proposal, however, might not get support from cross-party peers who are insisting that the measure must be accompanied by new rules forcing companies to adapt their sites for younger users.

The move comes as Home Secretary Amber Rudd is to meet executives from the Internet giants in the US this week.

Writing in a national daily The Sun on Sunday, Rudd said social media giants must do more to stop child sexual exploitation,

adding that the companies have a “moral duty” to go “further and faster” in their efforts to tackle the abuse.

“Online technology had made ‘vile child sexual abuse content vastly easier to find’. It is with absolute urgency that I call on all Internet companies to go further and go faster in tackling online child sexual abuse.

“We need you all to bring your resources and your technical expertise to help us turn the tide on this horrendous scourge.

It is your moral duty,” she added.

During her trip to Washington, Rudd will attend a roundtable discussion which will be joined by tech companies, including Google, Facebook and Microsoft.

As per a BBC report, new government figures show there was a 700 per cent increase in the number of indecent images identified on technology company servers and flagged to law enforcement agencies between 2013 and 2017.

Dhaka, Nov 5 (IANS): Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday said that 622,000 Rohingyas have already arrived in the country and urged Myanmar to repatriate them immediately.

Sheikh Hasina, who was speaking at the inauguration of the 63rd Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference in Dhaka, also urged Myanmar to stop the persecution of the Rohingyas. “Over 622,000 Myanmar nationals have fled to Bangladesh to escape

persecution in recent times,” Hasina was quoted by Efe as saying.

“The inhuman persecution meted out on the Rohingya population in the Rakhine state of Myanmar and their forceful expulsion from their homeland have created instability in the region and beyond,” she added. The figure raises the number of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh mentioned in the latest report by the United Nation’s InterSector Coordination Group on Thursday, by 15,000.

REJOINDER We are constrained to rebut to the misleading statement issued by Mr. Ahovi Swu and Mr. Hotoshe Sheqi which appeared in certain local dailies on 1st Nov 2017 where in they had alleged that our president Zhuwoto Kiba is not even a primary member of NPF and that Kughakhu Sheqi was elected by 5000 delegates in 2015 by Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu Group which stands withdrawn and nullified.

Here we want to make it clear that Mr. Zhuwoto Kiba was elected as president of our Division on 20 Sept 2017 General convention at Dimapur by more that 40,000 delegates.

We would like to remind that he was a CEC member from 2004 and a secretary in central office till 2011. Therefore it is incorrect to allege that he is a man of political instability and commitment.

We would like to reiterate that our president had been a staunch supporter of dynamic leader of Mr. Neiphiu Rio President and MP Lok Sabha and Mr. T.R. Zeliang Honourable Chief Minister since 2004. Therefore we can boldly state that his loyalty and integrity is unquestionable.

Alcacer scores two as Barca beat Sevilla Sarita enters Asian boxing meet semis

Paco Alcacer is congratulated by team-mates after he scores a goal against Sevilla.

MADRID, Nov 5 (Agencies): Barcelona continued their record-breaking start to a La Liga season by beating Sevilla 2-1 thanks to Paco Alcacer’s double on Saturday in an atmosphere at the Camp Nou marked by the political upheaval in Catalonia.

A huge Catalan flag and banners reading “justice” in Catalan and English were displayed before kickoff after eight ministers of

the Catalan government deposed by Madrid were detained pending a possible trial for their roles in the drive for Catalan independence.

Loud cries of “freedom” also rang around Europe’s largest stadium sporadically throughout the 90 minutes.

Two other banners reading “Freedom for political prisoners” and “Europe shame on you” were held up

by the Barca singing section behind one of the goals.

The hosts could have scored three times in the opening 10 minutes as Clement Lenglet cleared off the line from Sergio Busquets, David Soria denied Luis Suarez and Ivan Rakitic fired a long-range effort inches wide.

Alcacer was the surprise choice in Valverde’s starting line-up and he opened the scoring on his

first league start since the first day of the season.

Suarez’s cross-field pass was mis-controlled horribly by Sergio Escudero and fell perfectly for Alcacer to slot past the advancing Soria.

Barely a threat before half-time, Sevilla came out a different side after the break and levelled just before the hour mark when Guido Pizarro bulleted home Ever Banega’s corner.

Barca reacted immediately, though, and just six minutes later got the winner when Alcacer turned home Rakitic’s precise cross at the near post.

On his 600th Barca appearance, Lionel Messi had the chance to make the game safe when his low effort was saved by Soria, but Barca held on to move 11 points clear of Real Madrid.

Madrid a 1-0 victory over Deportivo La Coruña to get the club back on track in La Liga action.

Atletico rarely posed a threat to Deportivo’s goalkeeper during Saturday’s match, which seemed destined to end in yet another draw for Diego Simeone’s men, reports Efe news agency. Thomas, however, scored the winner two minutes into stoppage time to save his team once again.

The 24-year-old had scored the second-half equalizer for Atletico against Qarabag in a UEFA Champions League match played on October 31 that ended 1-1.

Atletico finally got a win after three consecutive 1-1 draws - against Elche in Copa del Rey, Villarreal in La Liga and Qarabag.

With the win, Atletico has climbed to Thomas goal ends the third spotprovisionally in the La Liga Atletico’s winless run with 23 points (behind FC Ghanaian midfielder Barcelona and Valencia), Thomas Partey scored a last- while Deportivo is 16th with gasp goal to give Atletico 11 points.

Ho Chi Minh City, Nov 5 (PTI): The seasoned L Sarita Devi (64kg) along with two other pugilists advanced to the semifinals and assured themselves of medals as India enjoyed another fruitful day at the Asian Women’s Boxing Championships here.

Apart from Sarita, world championships silver-medallist Sonia Lather (57kg) and Lovlina Borgohain (69kg) also entered the semifinals.

Sarita, a former world champion eyeing her sixth medal at the Asian meet, defeated Maftunakhon Melieva of Uzbekistan, while Sonia edged past Kazakhstan’s Nazym Ichshanova in the quarterfinals.

Borgohain defeated Erdenetuya Enkhbaatar of Mongolia by an unanimous decision.

Sarita, who returned to the amateur fold after trying

Sarita Devi

her luck in the professional circuit earlier this year, took full advantage of her opponent’s reluctance to attack and connected some lusty right hooks to take the upperhand early in the bout.

At the very beginning of the second round, Melieva faced a standing eight count after a flurry of combination punches from the Indian left her dazed. Melieva gave a better account of herself in the final three minutes but Sarita was up for the challenge and dis-

played some fine ringcraft to dodge the attacks.

Sonia, on the other hand, had to stave off a stiff challenge from Kazakhstan’s Nazym Ichshanova in a split verdict to enter the last-four stage, assuring herself of her second medal at the event.

She is a former silvermedallist at the continental meet.

Although Ichshanova tried her best to match the power, the Indian did just about enough to get a split verdict in her favour.

1ST DEATH ANNIVERSARY

Unity College post graduate sports meet held

ZHUHAI, Nov 5 (Agencies): Tennis legend Steffi Graf said on Sunday that Serena Williams can “absolutely” break Margaret Court’s Grand Slam singles title record if she returns to tennis.

Former world number one Serena Williams has already overtaken Graf with 23 Grand Slam wins but is yet to surpass Court, who boasts 24 major titles.

“Absolutely, yes,” Graf said when asked if the record was within Williams’ reach.

Court is renowned as the most successful player in Grand Slam history -- the only player to win 10 or more titles of a single Slam -- lifting the Australian Open a staggering 11 times between 1960 and 1973.

Graf was speaking in Zhuhai, China, where she is ambassador for the WTA Elite Trophy tournament.

“A lot of it is determined on her drive and if that’s what she wants to do,” she said of Williams.

Australian Open organisers said in October they were hopeful of a stunning return by Williams in January as they raised the winners’ prize money to a bumper Aus$4 million (US$3.1 million).

Man City beat Arsenal to extend lead Goerges lifts WTA Elite Trophy

De Bruyne celebrates with City team-mates Stones, Sane and Sterling after giving his side the lead against the Gunners.

L o nd o n , N o v 5 (Agencies): Manchester City have moved eight points clear at the top of the Premier League after they eased past Arsenal 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium.

With Pep Guardiola’s side in such sparkling form, all the talk beforehand was whether the Gunners could catch them cold after a tough away match in Naples on Wednesday night, while Arsenal rested their regular starters for their

Europa League game.

While it transpired that City played with less pace and lower energy than usual, they were still able to easily brush aside a ragged Arsenal side.

The hosts made two changes from the side that won away to Napoli, with Kyle Walker and David Silva returning, and Danilo and Ilkay Gundogan making way.

Arsene Wenger meanwhile drafted in Alex Iwobi

Gurpreet was first to be eliminated in the final, but Anish and Neeraj hung on for the silver and bronze after Australian Sergei Evglevski made the gold medal beyond reach.

Neeraj won a fourthplace elimination shoot-off over England’s Sam Gowin to assure himself of a medal. He had to be content with bronze as Anish beat him 21-19 after the sixth series.

Nadal may return for ATP Finals

London, Nov 5 (Agencies): Rafael Nadal could be fit to feature at the ATP Finals after scans showed no new damage to his long-standing knee injury.

The world No 1, who earlier this week sealed his place at the top of the year-end rankings, was forced to withdraw from the Paris Masters on Friday with a recurring problem in his right knee. That appeared to place doubt on his ability to compete at the end-of-season showpiece at London’s O2 Arena, with Nadal having previously decided not to play in the tournament in Basel. But the Spaniard’s doctor Angel Ruiz Cotorro says the tendon injury has not become worse, meaning Nadal could be fit for the event which gets underway on November 12.

“It is not a new injury or an injury that has worsened,” Cotorro said in Spanish newspaper El Espanol.

“It’s not a different situation than when we came from the Asian tour. All the images of the tests tell us that it is a bit the same, that the tendon is suffering.”

“Now we know that there is nothing different, which is a situation that had been dragging on for some time. The problem of tendons in different situations may bother more or less, but we will try to be good to play in London. If he is well, he will play, and if he is not well, he will give up playing,” said Cotorro.

Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, Stan Wawrinka, Kei Nishikori and Milos Raonic all played in the tournament in 2016 but have already been ruled out through injury this year.

- to show for their efforts while the visitors occasionally looked dangerous on the break with only abysmal final balls preventing them from creating opportunities.

The lead was doubled on 50 minutes when referee Michael Oliver harshly penalised Nacho Monreal for coming together with Raheem Sterling and Sergio Aguero slotted home off the post from 12 yards.

We n g e r w i t h d r e w Coquelin and introduced Lacazette and Arsenal enjoyed their best period of the match which was capped by the latter firing past Ederson on 65 minutes.

But any chance of an unlikely comeback was extinguished nine minutes later when David Silva was incorrectly judged to be onside and he had all the time in the world to square for substitute Gabriel Jesus to finish from close range.

U-19 Women’s One Day: Bihar beat Nagaland

Dimapur, Nov 5 (NPN): Bihar beat Nagaland U-19 girls at the ongoing BCCI U-19 Women’s One Day Trophy at Dhanbad on Sunday.

After winning the toss, Nagaland captain Elina Muru elected to bat and set up a target of 133 runs losing 9 wickets in 50 overs.

Skipper Elina scored 32 runs while Kanika and Muskan contributed 20 and 19 runs respectively. For Bihar, Apurva and Kumai claimed 3 wickets each.

Chasing 133, Bihar managed to score the target in just 37.4 overs losing 7 wickets. Tejeshwi scored 25 runs, Kumari scored 20 and Manshi contributed 14 runs. For Nagaland, Muskan claimed 5 wickets while Arpana took 2.

Nagaland girls will next face Arunachal Pradesh on November 7.

The South Korea forward pounced on a weak clearance to curl in a shot from just inside the area in the 64th minute, as a depleted Spurs side eked out a victory over the league’s last-place team.

Playing four days after beating Real Madrid in the Champions League, Tottenham was without forward Dele Alli, center back Toby Alderweireld and goalkeeper Hugo Lloris because of injury.

Spurs have struggled to break down visiting teams that defend in numbers at Wembley Stadium this season, drawing to both Burnley and Swansea in a season when they have also beaten Madrid, Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund at their temporary home.

They labored at times against Palace and had backup goalkeeper Paolo Gazzaniga to thanks for saves from Scott Dann and Andros Townsend. Palace winger Wilfried Zaha did get past Gazzaniga, but failed to finish into an empty net from an acute angle.

ZHUHAI, Nov 5 (Agencies): Ger man Julia Goerges tamed American CoCo Vandeweghe 7-5, 6-1 in the final of the WTA Elite Trophy to claim the biggest title of her career on Sunday.

Second seed Vandeweghe got an early break and breezed to a 5-2 lead in the opening set before the German staged a brilliant comeback.

The seventh seed, who won the Kremlin Cup in Moscow a fortnight back, broke back while the American was serving for the opening set and went on to win it 7-5.

Vandeweghe won only one of the last 12 games in the match as the 29year-old pinned her with a barrage of winners while dropping just one point on serve in the second set.

“I’m looking forward to next year.”

Indian eves lift Asia Cup; qualify for WC

K aka m i g aha r a , Nov 5 (PTI): Goalkeeper Savita produced a stunning save in a tense shootout as India won the Asia Cup to secure qualification in next year’s hockey World Cup following a nerve-wracking win over China in the final here Sunday.

The team broke a 13year-old jinx when skipper Rani scored the final goal and Savita foiled an attempt from the rivals to ensure a 5-4 win.

Rani scored twice while Monica, Lilima Minz and Navjot scored a goal each in the shootout.

Earlier, it was Navjot Kaur who scored India’s lone goal in the 25th minute while China found a late equaliser through Tiantian Luo, who converted a penalty corner in the 47th minute.

It was advantage China right at the start as a stick check in the circle saw India concede a penalty corner in the second minute of the game.

However, Savita was at her best and padded it away while an alert Deep Grace cleared the ball.

With the first quarter ending in a stalemate, India came back looking determined to find a breakthrough.

Navjot came close to converting a field goal in the 17th minute but her diving effort was blocked, even as skipper Rani made a quick attempt to find a deflection.

It was not until the 25th minute when India found their first breakthrough as Navneet and Rani played give-and-take before penetrating the circle, only to assist Navjot, who took a clear shot on goal.

India began the third quarter rather positively as they stayed persistent with an aggressive attack. They dominated ball possession with accurate passing, rotating the ball and testing China’s patience.

On China’s part, they stayed disciplined in their defence to deny India a

chance to score through a PC. The final quarter was tense as China won a PC through successful video referral in the 47th minute.

Tiantian Luo kept low as she improvised from the injection to find the right corner of the post, scoring a sensational equaliser.

The following minutes saw both teams play at par with each other and not allowing either of them to stay in control. With nine minutes left for the final hooter, India upped the ante, desperately trying to find a gap in the 15-yard mark, but the Chinese defenders were resolute.

Meanwhile, China won their fourth PC of the match with little less than three minutes to go for the final whistle. But it was brilliantly saved by rusher Sunita Lakra and almost immediately, India launched a counterattack but only to send the ball wide off the target and complete the full time in a stalemate.
