Mizoram CM wants CEO removed

AIZAWL, NOV 5 (PTI/ AGENCIES): Mizoram chief minister Lal Thanhawla on Monday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking the immediate removal of state Chief Electoral Officer S.B. Shashank as “people have lost faith in him”.

Shashank’s removal is the only solution for smooth conduct of the November 28 Assembly elections, the chief minister said in his letter.

He said people of Mizoram have lost faith in the CEO after he complained to the Election Commission of India (ECI) that principal secretary (home) Lalnunmawia Chuaungo was interfering in the poll process. Chuaungo, a 1987batch Gujarat-cadre IAS officer, was relieved of his responsibilities in the state.

The EC has instructed him to report before the Ministry of Home Affairs in Delhi. “The only solution for smooth conduct of Assembly elections 2018 now would be removal of CEO S B Shashank from office forthwith,” the chief minister wrote in the letter, a copy of which is available

NFHRCC, hohos ultimatum on Doyang bridge construction DIMAPUR: Nagaland Foothill Road Construction Committee (NFHRCC) has served a 14-day ultimatum to contractor M/s L Pukhato Shohe & Sons to resume the Doyang bridge construction work immediately and has also threatened to initiate appropriate action, if the contractor fails to do so.

This followed a joint inspection of the bridge construction site at Liphanyan village under Bhandari sub-division in Wokha district on November 3, 2018 by members of NFHRCC, Dimapur-based tribal hohos and local area civic bodies.

The joint inspection team expressed deep resentment at the contractor’s failure to send anyone to the meeting held thereafter despite repeated reminders.

its position on not being able to expedite the work despite written assurances given to NFHRCC on September 1, 2018 and chief minister Neiphiu Rio on September 21, 2018.

The joint inspection team viewed the contractor’s conduct as an insult to the hohos and the NFHRCC.

Inter-Faith meet for peace held in Kohima NTCA to hold annual general conference

and intervene into them, and to promote peace. Dr Deben Bachaspatimayum, assistant professor NEISSR, Dimapur was the trainer on skills of Peace-building.

Abea Mero, founder of Connect Organic Nagaland and peace activist, Niketu Iralu, delivered the message and keynote address respectively.

Niketu Iralu stated that the attitude of “no need” or saying “it will be okay with-

out it” becomes a degrading force of stability in society.

North East India is very far from major trade routes and seas, he said, as such it had rarely been influenced by things that have impacted the globe.

“One should be transformed in order to transform the world around us” he asserted. Iralu further stated that positive transformation should be the force to change the world unlike

Hitler and Lenin who were negatively transformed by bitterness.

According to Iralu, forgiveness is the beginning of peace and the beginning of sustainable humanity and society. While delivering her message, Abea Mero said that Peace was a very wide subject.

She pointed out that today, society was in a situation where someone who may be educated may also resort to violence and killing just to fill their stomach.

Most of the underground personnel in the Naga armies are orphans, illiterate or less educated or those who have been abused, and they have to resort to violence or join the military in order to get two-meals a day, she stated. Mero opined that to resolve these violent issues, efforts can also be made to encourage income generation activities to replace the violent means of taxation and extortion.

Dr. Deben Bachaspatimayum, in his speech said that the concept and process

of globalization integrated with economics should be understood if Naga society is to create peace. Most of the conflict and violence developed due to the mismanagement of the economy and most of the communal violence is due to misunderstanding the process of globalization, he stated.

According to Dr. Bachaspatimayum, although Nagaland and North East India is a violent and conflict ridden region, there are also positive messages in the brutality and bitterness.

He opined that conflicts and violence in many ways have been a positive force although views may differ on this.

T h e p r o g r a m wa s chaired by Victor Yhome. Fr Richard Fernandes, parish priest, St Francis De Sales Church, Kohima invoked God’s presence and a special number was presented by Akangkokla Namo. Altogether, 18 individuals from different NGOs, churches and different walks of life attended the program.

Launching of Cycle Patrol Unit at Kakching district police on Monday. (NP) Correspondent

IMPHAL, Nov 5: Manipur police department on Monday introduced its “Cycle Patrol Unit”, a step towards strengthening the relationship with the community and to enhance public friendly policing.

The Cycle Patrol Unit was introduced at Kakching district police where 60 bicycles were allotted to three police stations and seven outposts.

The aim of launching the unit was to localize police coverage and bring the police closer in touch with the community, Kakching district police SP Yengkhom

Victoria said.

She asserted that the patrol unit will not only bring the police and public closer but also improve the infrastructure of the police department and welfare of the personnel.

State police IGP (zone-I) Clay Khongsai officially launched the unit at a simple function held at the Kakching police station.

The IGP said that the state police department introduced the unit as part of community policing.

He further said establishing the cycle unit will not only save fuel considering the constraints in the police department but is also good

for the environment and police personnel.

Khongsai also congratulated the SP for taking the initiative and at the same time said, “It is important to focus on the success of the initiative taken up by the district SP.” District police officials reported that 120 bicycles have been allotted for patrolling in Kakching district and in the first phase 60 cycles were allotted to police stations at Sugnu, Kakching and Pallel of the district including outposts at Singtam, Wangoo Lamkhai, Umathel, Langmeidong, Sekmaijin and Kakching R/L (M/W).

Rawat attacks Assam CM on Tinsukia killings Guwahati, Nov 5 (PTI): Congress General Secretary Harish Rawat Monday said the recent killing of five persons in Assam’s Tinsukia district made it clear that Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal failed to maintain law and order in the state.

He charged the BJPled state government with failing to act on the warning signalled by the Congress, including former chief minister Tarun Gogoi, for long that its “divisive policy” would lead to further deterioration of law and order.

“The killing makes it clear that the state government has been negligent of maintaining law and order and this has been further compounded by the fact that the killers are yet to be traced and apprehended,” the party’s in-charge for Assam told reporters.

Further, the chief minister has not assured the people that this will not happen again, Rawat alleged.

Five people, including three members of a family, were gunned down by suspected ULFA (Independent) cadres in Tinsukia district last Friday. ‘’Just giving Rs 5 lakh to the victim’s family is not enough and much more is expected from the chief minister of a state,” Rawat, former chief minister of Uttarakhand, said.

Sabarimala, Nov 5 (IANS): The Sabarimala temple on Monday opened at 5 p.m. for a one-day special pilgrimage amid tight security.

The temple will close at 10 p.m., and then reopen Tuesday morning before finally closing at 10 p.m.

According to figures till 4.15 p.m., 5,540 pilgrims had taken the pathway to the temple hilltop, compared with less than 1,000 devotees the same day last year.

The famed temple had witnessed massive protests against the September 28 Supreme Court verdict allowing hitherto banned age group of girls and women to enter the Lord Ayyappa shrine. On Monday, many devotees complained and shouted slogans as the police stopped them for checking in the morning.

At 8 a.m., the police opened the barricade and started allowing devotees to walk to Pamba -- the base town of the temple.

Hundreds of pilgrims at Nilackal and Erumely were seen arguing as they faced repeated obstacles from the police for advancing.

Dengue cases rose in October last week in Delhi New Delhi, Nov 5 (IANS): As many as 285 cases of dengue were reported in the national capital in the week ending November 3, compared to 290 in the previous week, according to a municipal report released on Monday.

As per the latest report, 1,595 people have been diagnosed with the vectorborne disease in Delhi so far.

However, the number is less than last year’s which was 3,829 for the same duration.

Around 1,114 new dengue cases surfaced in October.

So far, only one death caused by dengue has been confirmed: a 13-year-old girl from Wazirabad area succumbed to the disease on September 18 at Hindurao Hospital.

most was the policemen’s insistence to check their identity proofs and the need to answer several questions as they tried to reach the sanctum sanctorum that would close at 10 p.m. on Tuesday. At Erumely, all pilgrim vehicles were stopped.

The devotees protested and shouted Lord Ayyappa slogans as they arrived at a bus depot of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC), demanding

transport to proceed to the hilltop shrine.

The visit to Sabarimala is supposed to bring solace, but this time everything has changed,” said Das, as he walked towards Pamba.

The temple town is witnessing one of its most stringent security arrangements. There were more than 2,300 police officials posted at various points up the pilgrimage path after the state took over the shrine’s

Punjab on high alert for Diwali amid threat

Amarinder Singh (File) Chandigarh, Nov 5 (IANS): The Punjab Police have been put on high alert for the Diwali festival following intelligence inputs that Sikh hardliners were out to foment trouble in the border state.

Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Monday directed the police to remain on high alert following recent attempts by hardliners, backed by separatist

security on Saturday.

Several metal detectors have been kept at a various points and crowd combating arrangements are also in place. The media was allowed to go up the pathway at 9.15 a.m.

The Kerala government has announced it would implement the apex court’s ruling, pitting it against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and numerous Hindu groups which have been up in arms

Jaipur, Nov 5 (PTI): Accusing Congress president Rahul Gandhi of misleading people on the Rafale deal with France, the ruling BJP on Monday challenged the opposition party to disclose the price at which the fighter aircraft was offered to India during the tenure of UPA-II government.

MoS for Parliamentary Affairs Arjun Ram Meghwal claimed that the price proposed during the UPA-II rule was higher than the deal signed by the BJP-led government and the Congress party was at pain because this dispensation has kicked out middleman from the government-togovernment deal.

He also said Anil Ambani’s company is not the only offset partner of Dassault Aviation as other firms have also tied up with the

French manufacturer as offset partners under the Make in India programme.

“Congress is talking about the price of the plane which was offered during UPA-I but not UPA-II. Negotiations took place on the first price and the Congress should tell people about the proposed price of 201213. That price was higher than the present proposal,” Meghwal said at a press conference here.

He said the then Congress government was listening to middleman Sanjay Bhandari, a close associate of businessman Robert Vadra, instead of Indian Air Force’s continuous demand for high-end fighter aircraft. “ B J P g o ve r n m e n t kicked out the middleman which has troubled the Congress,” Meghwal said.

NEW DELHI, NOV 5 (IANS/PTI): With nuclearcapable submarine INS Arihant successfully completing its deterrence patrol, India on Monday completed its nuclear triad as it achieved nuclear strike capabilities in air, land and sea.

Congratulating the crew of Strategic Strike Nuclear Submarine (SSBN) INS Arihant, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India’s new capability was a “fitting response to those who indulge in nuclear blackmail”.

“Today is historic because it marks the completing of the successful establishment of the nuclear triad. India’s nuclear triad will be an important pillar of global peace and stability,” Modi tweeted.

“The success of INS Arihant enhances India’s security needs. It is a major achievement for our entire nation. In an era such as this, a credible nuclear deterrence is the need of the hour.

He said the successful

Arjun Ram Meghwal (File) The Congress has previously rejected the allegations and said the BJP is “desperate” to divert attention.

The Union minister, however, said the Congress party failed to seal the Rafale deal between 2006 and 2013. Meghwal claimed that the present government

proposed to purchase the fighter aircraft at a much lower price compared to the rates fixed by then UPA government.

He also said that former defence minister A K Antony too had refused to disclose the price in some other matters in parliament citing security reasons.

“Congress is just spreading lies and misleading public. The matter is in Supreme Court and people will get to know about the lies of the Congress party,” he said.

Referring to communications between Dassault Aviation and Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd during UPA government’s rule, Meghwal said the timeframe desired by Dassault

Aviation to manufacture certain parts of the aircraft did not match with that of HAL and, therefore, there was a need to rope in offset partners.

The minister said Congress party’s lies would soon be exposed.

“Congress has a disease of lying. Earlier, the party had moved a petition in Supreme Court that there were ‘fake voters’ in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh and the court had rejected their plea as it was a lie,” he added.

Ambani’s Reliance Group has said dismissed allegations of corruption in the deal and accused the Congress of resorting to “blatant lies” for political gains.

BJP challenges Cong to disclose price it negotiated for Rafale

forces in Punjab and other countries, to create trouble in the state.

The Chief Minister reviewed the security situation at a high-level meeting attended by senior officers, including Director General of Police (DGP) Suresh Arora.

The DGP shared details of the inputs and developments concerning the state, received from various sources. He also briefed the Chief Minister about the busting of a terrorist module of the Ansar Ghazwat Ul Hind (AGH) by the state police on November 3.

The Chief Minister directed the officials to ensure fool-proof security at all vital installations and other key places, such as crowded markets and religious shrines.

No leniency towards air polluters: Vardhan New Delhi, Nov 5 (PTI): Union minister Harsh Vardhan said on Monday that the Centre was making all possible efforts to maintain air quality and no leniency would be shown towards those who violated the norms.

Delhi’s pollution level sharply spiked Monday as a thick haze engulfed the national capital due to high impact of stubble burning and pushed the air quality in the ‘very poor’ category, authorities said.

The Union Environment minister said legal actions were being initiated against those who violated the pollution regulations.

“The Centre is making all possible efforts to maintain the air quality and to protect the environment. No leniency will be shown towards those who violate the pollution norms,” Vardhan said on the sidelines of an event organised by the AYUSH Ministry to celebrate the third ‘Ayurveda Day’.

He said that the Centre has given a financial aid of over Rs 550 crore for farmers who are indulging in stubble burning.

Vardhan also appealed to the people to indulge in green good deeds and also ensure environment-friendly behaviour to maintain the air quality which has deteriorated to alarming levels.

The minister recently called a meeting of environment ministers of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Delhi to discuss the deteriorating air quality.

Meanwhile, the Kerala Police on Monday installed mobile jammers near the Sabarimala temple to prevent the tantri and other shrine officials from interacting with the media and to dissuade live visuals.

From October 17 to 22, when the temple was open for the monthly puja, the temple tantri and officials said they would close the shrine if any female devotee in the 10-50 age group tried to enter the sanctum sanctorum, as it was against the temple tradition. In a related development, BJP state president P.S. Sreedharan Pillai’s speech at a meeting of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha was played up by the ruling CPI-M and the Congress party, in which he was seen saying that when the temple tantri called him, he advised that if any lady (in the 10-50 age) tried to enter the temple, it’s best to shut the temple.

“Yes, I gave my advice, which I am entitled to as I am an advocate. Leaders of various political parties contact me and I have given legal advice,” Pillai told reporters.

Labyrinths of power

T

here are presumptions and assumptions about the likely scenario after the May 2019 Lok Sabha elections on the fate of the BJP under Modi which have sharply contrasted with earlier predictions that BJP under Modi will retain power.

Modi even went on to boast that the mandate will be around 300 seats. The changed perception today is that BJP is no longer sure about whether it can retain power. With non-fulfilment of promises made in 2014, rising prices, making all institutions as pliable to political interests and alleged mega- Rafale deal scam; the government has been caught on the wrong foot. However, a closer look at the developments of the past few years reveals something more interesting. The BJP has evolved a strategy of using the Ram temple agenda in an opportunistic way, as a result of which, it often seems neither insulated from nor associated with the issue. Maintaining this gulf enables it to negotiate between its hard-core Hindutva image and the development image. This has always worked for the BJP as it emotive issue(s) has impact on the majority community especially in north India. In this regard, the BJP believes that the Ram Mandir issue could just help stymie the erosion of support of the religious majority community.

BJP had roused majority sentiments with demolition of Babri masjid and so it is not surprising that the voices for construction of Ram Mandir at Ayodhya is becoming louder. Unless the land over where the masjid existed is allotted, the Mandir cannot be constructed. Therefore the case that pleaded with the Supreme Court to allot the plot assumed importance. However after the Supreme Court had snubbed the demands to hear the Ayodhya case urgently, the RSS/BJP have now come out with the idea that the BJP government pass and ordinance even though the case is still in the Supreme Court.

Some of the much talked about decisions taken by the Modi government such as demonetisation and surgical strikes against Pakistan during four years do not exactly measure up to expectations as great achievements. Demonetisation had nothing to do with economy nor netting black money; it was to ensure that rival political parties were deprived of cash for the 2017 UP elections. As far as surgical strike, they are purely military in nature and any political government cannot appropriate credit except to praise the armed forces. Today, the Narendra Modi government will enter the election year and he and party president Amit Shah have promised to bring out the government’s report card for people to judge. In 2014 Modi and Shah had promised to give employment to 2 crore but till date the government has been able to create only 22 lakh jobs. The most telling of the gap between promise and delivery has been steep rise in prices of various commodities even as the country has been reeling under highest ever price rise of petrol and diesel. Supposing the Modi government brings out an ordinance for allotment of side to construct the mandir; will it invite communal violence and also help BJP win handsomely in 2019? BJP has to show it is a party with future and it can do this if it vows to better schools and training institutes across the country and not hanging on to a religious matter.

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!”

Quotes

Let us never know what old age is. Let us know the happiness time brings, not count the years. ~ Ausonius

A

long time ago I realized what McDonald’s and KFC had understood quite a while back; that, for an average person, the gratification of his tastebuds – if only for ten minutes- was more important than saving the world, being compassionate, stopping global warming or even looking after his own health. So I mentally gave up on trying to make everyone vegetarian – even though I point out the health hazards, week after week.

Thank God I saved my mind from despair. Instead of diminishing, FAO has estimated that the worldwide demand for meat will rise and rise – an increase of 76% by 2050. 76% more animals taking up 76% more space, more water, more grain, more dredging of an already overfished ocean, finding more species to eat – like insects. A world of pain and hunger, at the brink of destruction.

About 20 years ago Linda McCartney tried to change the world by inventing and promoting simulated meat by making plants taste like it. It had no effect. It remained a charming curiosity and it was eaten by vegetarians who wanted to explore the world of meat.

Even though companies, like Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat, have used biology to identify the molecules that give meats their flavours and textures ( eg. protein myoglobin, which gives meat its colour) and reproduced them exactly using non animals, this becomes just another dish on the table. So nothing has excited

me more in the last 5 years than the knowledge that real meat is being made by scientists and entrepreneurs without using animals.

The first disruption of the world, as we knew it, came with the computer, the email, all the artificial intelligence gadgets. I cannot even remember the world without the cell phone. This changing of the world was due to just a handful of dreamers who went on to become billionaires – though that was never their intention.

The second disruption will come with the replacing of animals for meat with Clean Meat. Meat made from the multiplication of meat cells in meat serum.

And, wonderfully enough, the giants of the First Disruption have invested their billions into creating this Second Disruption.

Microsoft, Virgin, Google, Facebook… are some of the companies. And even more importantly, millions are being poured in by the largest Meat selling companies in the world, Tyson Foods and Cargill – who see this as an inevitable future and want to get in at the beginning.

Imagine a world without violence. A study done in America, on which were the most violent and unsafe areas in the county, showed that these were the kilometres around slaughterhouses. In India a survey done last month showed that the least liveable city in India is Rampur, the city of slaughterhouses and knives.

Imagine a world without slaughterhouses, with no animals grown forcibly and killed viciously. Imagine a

Nagaland Post, Dimapur TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2018

Open source research world where animals are out of animal husbandry and yet there is meat for all. The answer is cultured meat. No waste, no disposal of offal, no sickening smells and terrifying screams, no overloaded trucks carrying dying animals, no calves being separated from their crying mothers, no mafia of butchers.

Imagine a world where you could eat all the meat you wanted without getting sick from all the diseases that the dead body carried, the antibiotics, the hormones.

Imagine blue skies and fresh breezes and no water shortage and plenty of forests to bring the rains on time.

Imagine a world that was not heating up at this pace bringing drought and floods and tsunamis with it.

How far away is this dreamlike future? It is upon us: I will see it in my time.

It is called the Clean Meat future.

In 2013 the first meatless burger was made (paid for by Google cofounder Sergey Brin). In 2018 hundreds of start up companies have been able to make this cellular multiplication, and companies like Memphis meats have been able to make varieties of duck and chicken that are the real

thing. Now the only problem is of economics and scale.

But that will also happen.

After all, the first laptop probably cost a million dollars. As did the light bulb.

Why do I say that the future is upon us? Because the US Food and Drug Administration has decided to make rules and standards for companies growing meat in labs, not farm factories. No hooves, fins ,feathers. No anuses and eyes to throw away. Just edible meat. In Maryland in July 2018, the FDA and Department of Agriculture convened the first public hearing to discuss the regulation of food grown. Hundreds of people attended .The World Bank has convened a meeting of Clean Meat entrepreneurs to explain their vision at a meeting of international economists at the headquarters of the World Bank.

When we used horses for transport, we didn’t love the horse. We simply wanted to get from one place to another quickly. And if we had to put up with feeding it and cleaning up the excrement and housing it, we resigned ourselves to doing it. But when the car came and manure and care was unnecessary, we switched quickly and horses are now

kept for religious tourism.

Likewise, no one loves the slaughterhouse, the bloodied rivers, the greenhouses gases, the huge environmental damage. But they want the mutton, beef, pork, chicken, milk and eggs.

While everything has changed, including the way in which we irrigate and grow plants, meat production today is the same as it was 20,000 years ago. How inefficient is the energy ratio: 11 kilos of grain has to be fed to get one kilo of meat.

60 ,000 litres of water is needed for one cow/buffalo.

Thousands of people starve because there is no cheap grain. Every 7th kilo of meat in Europe is created from Indian grain. Look at our own levels of malnutrition and water shortage. There can be no humanity, no good governance, while we continue to eat and export meat. It is the largest way in which we affect the lives of our people. Cultured meat will change all that, freeing up grain and making it cheaper, making water available, making land available for the poorest . One company called BlueNalu has started cellular aquaculture and, once it comes on the market, you can have fish without formalin , human faeces and chemical dyes that make it look fresh.

Modern Meadows is working on creating real leather without animal skin. The tissue culture journey has been complicated. Finding the correct cells that multiply and are flexible. Creating appropriate bioreactors, which mimic the animal’s temperature, so that meat grow-

ing can become a village industry. But top scientists and cell biologists have left their well paying jobs and have applied their expertise.

Many people involved are Indians. Memphis Meats is founded and headed by Dr Uma Valeti, a heart surgeon.

The milk-without-cows of Perfect Day foods are both Indians, Ryan Pandya and Perumal Gandhi.

Animals will not disappear. Cells will have to be collected from them and then put into a bioreactor.

Nutrient culture serum will have to be collected. But they will be a small fraction of what they are now.

It is time the Indian government got into this. If the process is patented then it will not be economically viable. So we need to have open source research that makes the science available to all. Big marketers in India, like Future Foods, have already shown huge interest, and many American companies are in India looking for partners. But we need to have those Nehruvian “temples of science” under ICAR ( Indian Council of Agricultural Research) , CCMB (Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology) get off their hammocks, where they have been sleeping for many years, and actually do research that will change the face of the Indian economy.

I am going to be writing more on this. Watch this space. And imbibe my excitement!!

Those sparks and sounds

ndia celebrates Diwali by lighting clay lamps outside homes to symbolize the inner light that protects from spiritual darkness. Even many parts of the world also follow us. White house hailed incredible contributions of the Indian-American community by celebrating Diwali every year. It is the time for Diyas, Candles, lights, sweets, family time and firecrackers. Diwali is known for fireworks, it is not complete without bursting crackers. And people want to have a blast on Diwali.

But the real issue is air pollution. Fireworks emit toxic fumes and can cause respiratory problems and even terrify pets and wildlife.

Can we decide to noise free Diwali this time to refrain from fireworks?

The significance of this festival in Northern India is the celebration of home-coming of Lord Ram after his victory over Ravana. South celebrates it as Lord Krishna defeated the demon Narakasura. In all interpretations, it marks the victory of good over evil.

But, the meaning has lost nowadays under the piles of fire-crackers. It creates excessive noise pollution and disturbs the balance in the atmosphere.

The eco-friendly crackers will save the environment without dampening the festive mood. Aren’t we informed about those sparks and sounds?

There is no blanket ban of sale of firecrackers. The Apex Court verdict says that only ‘green firecrackers’ (which are less polluting) will be allowed to be sold. Sikkim already put a ban on production, sale and bursting of all firecrackers since 2014. Delhi prohibit on selling and burning of old stock of conventional firecrackers.

The air quality in the capital during winter worsens to alarming levels, turning the city into a gas chamber.

The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) had found presence of high levels of toxic elements like barium and aluminium in Delhi’s air a day after Diwali last two years. Why cannot we put a complete prohibition on sound and light illuminating firecrackers in other states? Supreme Court put a ban on selling and burning of old stock and also says for production of new crackers to fulfil the permissible conditions. The apex court had fixed the 8-10 pm slot for bursting crackers on Diwali.

Despite Ministry of commerce and custom directive Chinese fireworks smuggled through sea port.

Chinese fireworks do not adhere to any noise standard. Although there is existing law against generating noise more than 125 decibel but strict implementation by civic authorities is a far cry. Ganak Kuchi’ village of Barpeta district is the traditional firecracker from Assam. Eco-friendly crackers are made of recycled paper. They do not contain as much chemicals as conventional firecrackers. Thus emit less smoke and noise. Unlike the normal cracker, the eco-friendly crackers are based on vacuum combustion method. These crackers produce

colourful sparks with a considerable sound and less smoke. Despite the ban on conventional firecrackers by Apex court, people still prefer highdecibel crackers over eco-friendly crackers. The firecracker industry may have been victim to many tragic accidents.

The Indian firecracker industry is the second largest in the world after China. Surprisingly it does not export due to unsuitable storage and inadequate shipping facilities. Importing countries impose strict regulatory standards that India has been unable to meet. But India has a great potential for foreign revenue. Sivakasi in Tamilnadu, is the hub of Indian fire cracker industry. It is a home to over 9,500 firecracker factories, produces almost the entire fireworks output of India. Two brothers Shanmuga Nadar and P Ayya Nadar found their way to work in a Kolkata based match factory Dasgupta in early 1990s later returned to Sivakasi to begin their own enterprise.

Fireworks have been categorised under restrictive items. The Director General of Foreign trade, the Petroleum & Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO) has not granted licences to anyone to import firecrackers from any country. So buying China-made firecracker is illegal. With guidelines of Apex Court for environmentfriendly crackers, now producers add less of chemicals like sulphur and potassium nitrate. Potassium chlorate was discovered by French chemist Claude Louis Berthollet during the end of the 18th Century.

The colour inducing chemical Potassium Chlorate is a banned explosive in India since 1992. The illegal trade began with China because Potassium Chlorate is much cheaper than its alternatives. It also probably sourced illegally from matchstick factories.

It has very powerful oxidising ability and produced fuels the flame of the lit firework when it mixed with Sulphur. It is beautiful but extremely dangerous.

The technology for fireworks with low emission levels was developed by the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). The green crackers are sent to the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO) for safety checks and granting licences to the manufacturers. But they will not be available for this Diwali. NBRI in Lucknow is working on plant-based materials which could be used in fireworks.

The Tamil Nadu Fore Crackers Association was involved an experiment on the modification of chemical combination, control the emission with colours, smoke, and height of lighting, brightness and ability to burst that become viral through WhatsApp recently. Hope we celebrate a safe and sound Diwali.

When both sides are doing the right thing!!

T

(An assessment of Naga Club and NSF celebrations)

he venue was Naga Solidarity Park. The date was October 31, 2018.

The theme for the public event was “Celebrating the Legacy – Commemoration of the 100th year of Naga Club.”

It was organised by Naga Students’ Federation (NSF).

The Park was packed to its fullest capacity. From the raised dais where the speakers spoke and the invited guests sat those who stood outside the confine of the Park could be seen. The impression made by the orderly, attentive youthful crowd eagerly celebrating “The Legacy” the Naga Club had passed on to them and all future Naga generations was for me one of pride and gratitude. It was evident all were trying to understand the meaning of the legacy.

My Tibetan guest who had attended the event with me said to me as we rode back home “Uncle, it was a beautiful, inspiring celebration. I listened very carefully and I could understand the meaning and significance of the day. Thank you.”

I replied, “You know I can say it’s the best public rally of this kind I have attended in Nagaland.”

All the speakers speaking briefly gave carefully thoughtthrough ideas and convictions.

No one harangued the audience gathered from all parts of the

Naga homeland.No one trivialised the theme of the day by saying what was not needed at all! And, believe it or not, in the big Naga programme, not a printing mistake, grammatical error or punctuation careless could be found in the programme folder, the invitation or any of the documents distributed! It was clear a standard had been set by the organisers.

It was worthy of our educated youth.

I have come to this conclusion – Not a negative word, thought or reckless sloganeering was heard from anyone during the whole programme. It must be because of this that I said what I said to my guest.

During the last days we have all reflected on the debates and robust back and forth assertions and questionings over certain issues concerning the Naga Club. The different positions should be respected as we are searching together how to go forward. I have recalled the Naga Club “Lead-In Celebration” the previous day held in the RCEMPA Auditorium, Jotsoma. It was the older generation starting their programme of celebration of the Naga Club’s formation. Nagas today recall with appreciation the way Naga Club and NSF have defended the Naga story down the past decades as the National Work-

ers have done it the way known to all of us.

There is no room for doubt that as we calmly, objectively review the discussions that have taken place, we will come to see that both celebrations are appropriate and right. Both of them share the same reason, namely, grateful commemoration of the beginning of the beginning of our struggle for our aspirations – the start of our modern history.

The differences over details of dates and interpretations of what happened 100 years ago are understandable and important. They will all be resolved as academic matters through the debates and consultations that will and should continue.

We will have plenty of time to get the right thing done. What is needed is to claim a common desire for taking our fragile society forward as the perils of the journey ahead are extremely challenging and treacherous, as we all know.

The wisdom and perspective we need at this juncture was, I believe, given in the words of theologian and philosopher Reinhold Niebuhr quoted by Dr.TuisemShishak in his inspiring speech in Jotsoma: “It is always wise to seek the truth in our opponent’s error, and the error in our own truth”.

Reader’s Post Sir,

On the lust for power

Indeed I must say- humans are driven by the force for power; power over the other! When an individual receives an insult or a jibe he/she resolves that the similar should not take place again.

And, he/ she therefore immerses in the endeavour for power, so that he/ she is thus insulated for the future.

I think herein lies the root cause for all our struggles in this blue planet. The lust for power is the reason for so many ills both for ourselves and for others. Now if we examine, we will find that we lust for power because we have to salve our ego. Now, what would the scenario be if we did not have an ego? It would be utopian to imagine reality without ego. However, we can slowly nibble away, and attempt a slight deflation; to begin with. It would thus become clear to us that ego is the cause for our lust for power. Therefore the real power play should take place within ourselves, the real power we should attempt to obtain should be over our own selves. Indeed, human dignity, self respect and a good sense of self esteem is important. However, it is the excessive salving of inflated ego that my grouse is against. When we nurse our egos excessively, we give power to the other over us. The other can use our weakness to manipulate and even control us. Thus we are compromising our freedom by becoming a slave to our ego or egos, for who is to say, we may even have multiple egos! So in the ultimate analysis true freedom lies in making our ego our slave rather than our taskmaster. The alternative, though we may not realise it is but the comical and hilarious! For who is the funniest?

But the person who goes about with a sense of his own importance only to fall prey to clever flattery and other sly contrivances; an all too common sight and scene in our very own Nagaland!

Delhi air quality drops to ‘severe’ Centre framing detention manual for foreigners

New Delhi, Nov 5 (PTI): Delhi recorded its worst air quality of the season on Monday, with the pollution levels inching towards ‘severe plus emergency’ category due to a change in wind direction and rampant stubble burning in neighbouring states.

The PM2.5 (particles in the air with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometres) and PM10 concentrations touched 365 and 503 respectively, touching the ‘severe-plus emergency’ category, according to Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) data.

PM2.5 levels above 300 and PM10 levels above 430 are considered “severeplus emergency” category.

In NCR, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, Noida and Greater Noida recorded “severe” pollution levels while Gurgaon recorded “very poor” air quality, CPCB data showed.

Officials attributed the sudden deterioration in the air quality to a change in wind direction, which is now blowing from the northwestern region towards Delhi and bringing dust and smoke from stubble burning in neighbouring states with it.

Delhi’s overall air quality index on Monday was recorded at 434, which falls in the “severe” category, a drastic decline from Sunday’s “moderate” level at 171.

On Sunday, Delhiites breathed the cleanest air in three weeks, according to CPCB data. The national capital woke up to a thick haze on Monday morning, two days ahead of Diwali,

Morning walkers wear pollution masks as thick haze engulfs city, at Lodi Gardens in New Delhi, Monday. (PTI)

following which, experts have warned, the air quality is likely to worsen further due to local factors.

CPCB chairman S P Singh Parihar said the deterioration of the air quality will continue till Tuesday morning.

“But the good news is that speed of surface wind has improved, which may help in dispersing the pollutants,” he said.

An official of the Centre-run System of Air Quality Forecasting and Research said intensified stubble burning is contributing nearly 24 per cent of the air pollution in Delhi.

Another official said if the air quality continues

to remain in the “severe” category for 48 hours, they would consider implementing more regulations.

The Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology said biomass burning is also contributing to the spike in PM2.5 concentration.

The increase in pollution levels comes despite strict control measures imposed by the government in Delhi.

It has launched an aggressive 10-day ‘Clean Air Campaign’ from November 1 to monitor and report polluting activities and ordered halting of construction activities and regulating vehicular traffic.

Civil construction has been

suspended in Delhi and surrounding areas of the National Capital Region.

All stone crushers and hot mix plants generating dust pollution have also been closed.

The Delhi Pollution Control Committee has directed the transport department and the traffic police to intensify their drive against polluting vehicles until November 10.

Union Environment Minister Harsh Vardhan on Monday said no leniency would be shown to those violating pollution control norms.

He again warned that legal action was being initiated against people violating the regulations.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has said stubble burning in Punjab is the main reason behind the current cycle of air pollution in Delhi.

On Sunday, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh termed his claim as “nonsense”.

But satellite images by NASA on Monday showed a large number of farm fires in Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Sirsa and other areas of Punjab and Haryana.

Enforcement data provided in response to an RTI query by activist Deepak Juneja has showed that despite the Delhi government deregistering 40 lakh old petrol and diesel vehicles to curb air pollution, only 3,196 vehicles have been impounded, which is less than 1 per cent of the total.

New Delhi, Nov 5 (AGENCIES): Centre has informed the Supreme Court that the process of framing guidelines for keeping foreign nationals in detention centres across the country was “under preparation”.

The Centre told a bench headed

by Justice Madan B Lokur that the work of framing detention manual or guidelines was being taken up “very seriously”.

It also stated that in the meanwhile, some circulars have been issued to the state of Assam in this regard.

The bench, also comprising Justices A M Khanwilkar and R Subhash Reddy, said the Centre would ensure that requirements of the circulars or guidelines issued by the central government be adhered to by Assam. The issue of framing of detention manual for keeping foreign nationals had cropped up when the apex court was hearing a matter related to the condition of detention centres in Assam.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta,

appearing for Assam, told the bench that necessary steps would be taken by the state to implement “faithfully” the circulars issued by the Centre. Mehta told the bench that tenders have been invited by Assam for setting up of a new detention centre in Goalpara and the work is expected to be completed using pre-fab technology by August 31 next year.

“We expect the state of Assam to adhere to the timeline, more particularly since the executing agency is the Assam Police Housing Corporation Ltd,” the bench said.

The state government also said there were 47 declared foreign nationals or their family members that were proposed to be transferred for being reunited and the transfer process would take about 15 days.

“We are of the view that it would be inappropriate to keep the families separated without any valid reason, more particularly since many of them have already been separated for

a considerable period of time,” the bench said. “Therefore, we require the state of Assam to speed up the process and complete it within a period of seven days and in any event within a maximum period of ten days since sufficient time has already elapsed,” the bench said in its November 2 order.

The bench has posted the matter for further hearing in February next year. In September, the Centre had told the apex court that it was in the process of framing guidelines for keeping foreign nationals in detention centres across the country and the process would take around three months.

The court had said that the detention manual should be prepared within two months.

The apex court had on September 12 expressed displeasure that foreign nationals kept in detention centres in Assam were “separated” from their families and had asked the state to look into the issue with urgency so that the families are “not broken up”.

TASU indefinite blockade on Mon-Namtola road begins

(Fromp-1) TASU leaders also questioned the concerned department as to what action was taken against the erring contractors for failing to execute the work, despite having been several notices.

They asked why work on NH-702 was so slow and why it had not resumed even after the monsoon season was over.

The union demanded that all contractors should come, clarify and give assurance that the work would resume. And that until they gave such

an assurance, TASU would continue imposing the blockade and not allow functioning of government offices, the release asserted.

The union warned that in the event of failure on the part of the concerned department and contractors to give the assurance, they would be held solely responsible should there be any untoward incident in Mon district.

Tapi area students’ union: Tapi Area students’ Union (TASU) has extended its support to the indefinite blockade initiated by Tizit Area Students’ Union (TASU).

TASU president, M, Chingmei Konyak and general secretary N. Ngampan stated that NH 702 was the only lifeline and gateway to Mon district but the road had been left unrepaired for more than a decade.

Lamenting that earlier complaints had not been heeded to, the union appealed the concerned department and contractor to take up the matter seriously. TASU also stated that failure on the part of concerned authority to comply with the appeal would compel the union to resort to its own course of action within its jurisdiction.

The GST help desks will have nodal officers for trade facilitation who would guide the small businesses on their queries surrounding the GST. These nodal officers would report all the grievances on a real-time basis to the FAR, which would then provide the solution.

“The FAR would comprise of officers from Delhi and NCR. They would compile a master record of all grievances at various stages of resolution, and send a summary report to the Board on daily basis,” an official told PTI. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had on November 2 launched a slew of measures for the MSME sector, including faster sanction of loans and easier compliance with environmental rules.

New Delhi, Nov 5 (PTI): The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) will monitor on a daily basis the grievances of the MSMEs relating to the GST as part of efforts to resolve issues being faced by small businesses in the new indirect tax regime.

The move comes at a time when the government has initiated a major support and outreach programme for MSMEs to ensure growth and expansion of the sector.

The GST help desks have already been set up in all the 80 districts where a 100 day support and outreach programme for the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) have been launched by the government on November 2.

The CBIC has now decided to set up a Feedback and Action Room (FAR) under the Directorate General of Goods and Services Tax (GST) to record and process all grievances raised by MSMEs, an

Mumbai, Nov 5 (PTI): After two sessions of massive gains, the Indian rupee Monday again tumbled by 67 paise to close at 73.12 against the US dollar on increased demand for the American currency from importers and unabated foreign fund outflows.

On Friday, the rupee clocked its biggest singleday gain in over five years, surging by 100 paise to close at 72.45 against the US dollar. The domestic currency had gained 150 paise in the previous two sessions.

Forex traders said the strengthening of the American currency against major global currencies overseas and weakness in the domestic equity market weighed on the local unit Monday.

After opening lower at 72.76, the rupee plunged to the day’s low of 73.13 and finally settled for the day at 73.12, down 67 paise over its previous closing price.

Output Index, that maps both the manufacturing as well as the services sector, improved from 51.6 in September to 53 in October; and highlighted the strongest expansion in private sector activity since July.

T h e P M I s u r ve y s brought positive news of stronger economic growth at the start of the third quarter of FY 2018/19, together indicating a welcome rebound in private sector expansion from September’s four-month low,” said Pollyanna De Lima, Principal Economist at IHS Markit, and author of the report.

On the prices front, cost-inflationary pressures eased, resulting in a softer increase in selling prices.

“Cost pressures faded in October, but service providers continued to report rising costs, especially for food and fuel,” Lima said adding that a robust expansion in workforces added to firms’ expenses.

The survey further noted that though the business sentiment remained positive, it was hampered by political uncertainty.

N e w D e l h i , N ov 5(PTI): The countr y’s services sector in October expanded at the quickest pace since July, driven by significant increase in new business orders, which in turn led to robust workforce expansion, a monthly survey said Monday.

The seasonally adjusted Nikkei India Services Business Activity Index rose to 52.2 in October, from 50.9 in September.

The services PMI was in the expansion territory for the fifth straight month.

In PMI parlance, a print above 50 means expansion, while a score below that denotes contraction.

According to panellists, improved order flows supported the pick-up in output amid favourable market conditions, greater client bases and fruitful advertising.

On the job front, Indian service providers continued to add to their payrolls and the sector witnessed the second-strongest increase in employment since March 2011.

Meanwhile, the Nikkei India Composite PMI

However, at Rs 10,888 crore, fresh slippages were better than anticipated and down from Rs 14,349 crore in the June quarter or down 159 bps. This had the bank making lower provision at Rs 10,381.31 crore, against Rs 16,842.18 crore in the year-ago period. Provision coverage ratio improved by 655 bps from 47.40 per cent as on September 2017 to 53.95 per cent as on September 2018, improved by 57 bps sequentially.

Provision coverage ratio (including Advance Under Collection Account AUCA) improved by 563 bps from 65.11 per cent to 70.74 per cent, up 149 bps sequentially, and the provision coverage ratio on NCLT List 1 and List 2 accounts stood at 64 per cent and 78 per cent, respectively.

Total consolidated income rose to Rs 79,302.72 crore in the quarter under review from Rs 74,948.51 crore a year ago, and standalone income rose to Rs 66,607.98 crore from Rs 65,429.63 crore.

Gross non-performing assets (NPAs) increased to 9.95 per cent from 9.83 per cent a year ago, while net NPAs improved to 4.53 per cent from 4.84 per cent.

Investors lapped up the numbers as they were expecting heavy losses this time around as well. The SBI counter, which remained in the green throughout the day, closed with a gain of 3.45 per cent on the BSE at Rs 295.30, after scaling Rs 299.90 post-results, while on the NSE it was the best performer hitting Rs 300.

Against this, the indices closed in the red with marginal loses in a choppy trade.

Mumbai, Nov 5 (PTI): After three quarters of continuous losses, a massive one-time gain and better asset quality helped the SBI Monday report a consolidated net profit of Rs 576 crore for the September quarter, down 69 per cent y-o-y.

The country’s largest lender had posted a Rs 4,875.85 crore net loss in the previous quarter.

At the standalone level, net income fell 40 per cent to Rs 944.9 crore from Rs 1,581.55 crore on the back of better asset quality. A higher tax outgo of Rs 868 crore also led to a lower bottomline. The numbers would have been bad, had it not been for the one-time income of Rs 5,436 crore on part stake sale in SBI Life during the quarter.

For the lender, this comes as a big breather having been in the red for the past three quarters. In the June quarter, the bank made a loss of Rs 4,876 crore and also in the March 2018 quarter when it had

Washington said that it wanted to stop what it calls Tehran’s “malign” activities including cyber attacks, ballistic missile tests and support for terror groups and militias in the Middle East.

The Trump administration, meanwhile, granted exemptions to eight countries to continue importing Iranian oil, without naming them. They reportedly include US allies India, Italy, Japan and South Korea.

AMSTERDAM, Nov 5 (Agencies): The Pakistani lawyer who helped free a Christian woman who had been sentenced to death in Pakistan for blasphemy has fled to the Netherlands, a Dutch Christian rights group said on Monday.

According to Reuters, Asia Bibi’s lawyer, Saiful Mulook, left Pakistan on Saturday, due to fear that he could be attacked after Bibi’s conviction was overturned on Wednesday, the Association for Persecuted Christians said.

Bibi was convicted of blasphemy in 2010 for allegedly making derogatory remarks about Islam, and had been sentenced to death.

Mulook helped overturn the decision, and has been threatened by angry mobs calling for the judges in the case to be killed.

Two Pakistani politicians who tried to help Bibi have been assassinated. Several parties in Dutch parliament have said they support providing temporary shelter to Bibi if she flees there.

Islamists have shut down major cities in Pakistan through days of demonstrations against Bibi’s.

They have said they would escalate their protests if she were permitted to leave the country.

COLO M BO, NOV 5 (Agencies): Sri Lanka’s speaker of parliament said on Monday he would not accept former president, Mahinda Rajapaksa, as the new prime minister until he proves he commands a majority in parliament, Reuters reported.

President Maithripala Sirisena fired the sitting prime minister, Ranil Wickremesinghe, on October 26 and appointed Rajapaksa in his place, sparking a political crisis. Wickremesinghe has denounced his dismissal as unconstitutional and vowed to remain prime minister until parliament votes him out. “The majority of members are of the view that the changes ... are unconstitutional and against traditions,” the speaker of parliament, Karu Jayasuriya, said in a statement.

Sirisena suspended parliament after he appointed Rajapaksa, raising concern among political parties at home and among Sri Lanka’s traditional allies such as India, the United States and European Union. Rajapaksa is known as a Sri Lankan nationalist, while being close to China.

October 11 until October 17. Saudi Arabia only allowed Turkish police to finally search the consulate on October 15.

After weeks of allegations in pro-government media, Turkey’s chief prosecutor last week confirmed Khashoggi was strangled as soon as he entered the consulate and the body was dismembered.

But despite intensive searches by Turkish police, there is still no trace of his remains.

The sons of Khashoggi, Salah and Abdullah, told CNN they wanted Saudi Arabia to return the body so that he could be buried in Medina with the rest of his family.

Turkey’s allegation of the deployment of a “clean-up” team came after Yasin Aktay, an advisor to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, hinted Friday that the body may even have been destroyed in acid.

Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay told the official Anadolu news agency Monday that “all those reports should be investigated”.

Although Riyadh has arrested 18 individuals on suspicion of involvement, the key question remains over who gave the order to kill Khashoggi.

This was the 3rd exercise as part of PakistanRussia bilateral training cooperation since 2016, according to the Army.

Rouhani said Europe, too, was angry at the US policies, Press TV reported.

“Today, we are not the only ones who are angry at US policies; even European businesses and governments are angered by US policies, too.”

Rouhani also said he believed that America had never before seen as lawless an administration as that of Trump’s. He said all US administrations had violated international law, but “these (current officials) score on top on the lawlessness rankings”.

“I don’t recall a group assuming power at the White House that was racist as these.”

Washington/Tehran, Nov 5 (IANS): The US unleashed its “toughest ever” sanctions against Tehran on Monday, while a defiant Iranian President Hassan Rouhani vowed to continue selling its crude oil in the international market despite the measures.

“We should break the sanctions very well and we will do that,” Rouhani said shortly after the anti-Iran sanctions took effect.

US President Donald Trump’s administration reinstated all sanctions lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal, targeting both Iran and countries that trade with it, the BBC reported.

Tehran had struck the nuclear deal with six world powers and the EU, agreeing to curb its nuclear programme in return for the lifting of restrictions mainly on its oil sales.

Accusing Iran of stirring up regional instability and exporting violence, Washington terminated the nuclear accord on May 8 and said called it “one of the worst and most onesided deals the US had ever entered into”.

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

I s ta n b u l , N ov 5 (Agencies): Saudi Arabia sent two experts to Istanbul with the specific aim of covering up evidence after the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at its consulate in Istanbul, a Turkish official said on Monday.

According to AFP, more than a month after the Saudi royal-insider-turned critic was killed inside the mission on October 2, Turkey has still yet to recover the remains amid claims that his body was dissolved in acid.

The killing of the 59year-old has severely dented the kingdom’s image in the West and put powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on the defensive.

“We believe that the two individuals came to Turkey for the sole purpose of covering up evidence of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder before the Turkish police were allowed to search the premises,” a senior Turkish official said, asking not to be named.

The official confirmed a report in the Sabah newspaper saying that chemicals expert Ahmad Abdulaziz al-Janobi and toxicology expert Khaled Yahya alZahrani were among a team sent from Saudi Arabia purportedly to investigate the murder last month.

‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ defies expectations

F

reddie Mercury biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody� and 20th Century Fox are — for now, at least — champions of the world. “Bohemian Rhapsody,� starring Rami Malek as the late Queen frontman, shrugged off production troubles and mediocre reviews to debut with $50 million in weekend ticket sales in U.S. and Canada, and another $72.5 million internationally, according to studio estimates Sunday. That was well beyond

expectations, which had pegged the film closer to $35-40 million in its opening weekend.

But audiences r ushed to theaters to see the widely praised performance by Malek, the “Mr. Robot� star, and to hear Queen’s foot-stomping anthems like “We are the Champions,� ‘’Another One Bites the Dust� and the operatic title song. The movie, which Bryan Singer directed before being replaced by Dexter Fletcher, at times has an almost concert-

like feel, including a lengthy re-creation of the band’s 1985 Live Aid performance. “It really is a celebration of Queen and their music, and I think we did a really good job of letting people know that that’s what this is,� said Chris Aronson, distribution chief for Fox. “Bohemian Rhapsody� was largely dismissed by critics as an overly conventional rock biopic (60 percent “fresh� on Rotten Tomatoes), but the film

proved more popular with moviegoers, who gave the PG-13 release, produced by Graham King, an A CinemaScore and 4 1/2 stars out of five on Comscore’s PostTrak survey. “Even in the negativity that came out of critics, there was always a ‘but,’ almost universally: ‘But Rami is great,’� noted Aronson. “I’m very happy for Graham and Rami and the entire filmmaking team. And I’m happy for the home team. This is a big win for Fox.�

Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Comscore, praised Fox’s rollout of the film as “pitch perfect.�

Dergarabedian also cited Malek’s breakout big-screen performance and the sustained interest in all things musical at the box office. Musically based films have lately been major draws in theaters, from Fox’s own “The Greatest Showman� earlier in the year to Warner Bros.’ Oscar favorite “A Star Is Born,� which collected another $11.1 million in its fifth weekend for $165.6 million overall. “It seems that audiences can’t get enough of movies that have music baked into their

‘The Walking Dead’ universe to expand with films

DNA,� Dergarabedian said. “That’s proving to be a very successful formula.�

Another winning formula — Tiffany Haddish plus anything — came up short over the weekend.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to comScore.

1. “Bohemian Rhapsody,� $50 million ($72.5 million international).

2. “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms,� $20

million ($38.5 million international).

3. “Nobody’s Fool,� $14 million.

4. “A Star Is Born,� $11.1 million.

Morata guides Chelsea up to second NESOJ 6th sports meet held

Morata broke the deadlock for Chelsea in the 32nd minute at Stamford Bridge after scoring from close range.

Lo n d o n, N ov 5 (Agencies): Alvaro Morata scored twice as Chelsea reclaimed second spot in the Premier League with a 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge.

The Spain international continued his recent upturn in form as he scored in each half before Pedro sealed the win that extends Chelsea’s unbeaten start to the season to 11 games.

Andros Townsend equalised for Palace early in the second half but Roy Hodgson’s men were unable to prevent a fifth defeat in six that leaves them 14th in the table.

The victor y keeps Chelsea within two points of leaders Manchester City and sees Maurizio Sarri equal the record for the most games without defeat by a new Premier League manager.

Chelsea took an age to find their rhythm in an opening quarter which belonged to Palace’s Wilfried Zaha, who stamped his authority on the game with a demonstration of his threat on the counter.

Max Meyer blazed Palace’s first chance over on 20 minutes before a last-gasp block from David Luiz prevented the midfielder from finding the target, after an intricate

through pass from Zaha.

However, Palace’s failure to punish a lethargic Chelsea came back to haunt them on 33 minutes, as Pedro’s pass inside found Morata, who took a touch before rifling the ball past Wayne Hennessey.

Chelsea thought they had scored a quickfire second two minutes later, but Willian’s close-range effort was correctly ruled out for offside.

Morata could have doubled his tally on 39 minutes but he glanced a header onto the roof of the goal after Marcos Alonso’s knock-back from a Willian free-kick.

Palace were level eight minutes into the second half as a neat exchange between James McArthur and Townsend released the Palace forward through on goal, and he clinically found the bottom corner of Kepa Arrizabalaga’s goal.

Hennessey brilliantly tipped a goal-bound Luiz header over on 63 minutes as Chelsea sought to regain the lead. Two minutes later, though, the Palace

goalkeeper was beaten for a second time.

Ninety seconds after coming on, Chelsea substitute Eden Hazard won and delivered a free-kick into the Palace area which bobbled around before Morata applied the finishing touch - his sixth goal in his last six games.

Two quickly became three as Alonso’s diagonal cross picked out the run of Pedro, who got in on the act by slotting home on 70 minutes.

It was plain sailing from there on for Chelsea, the only negative being that Morata spurned the chance to secure his second hat-trick for the club as Hennessey read his lofted finish in a stoppage-time one-on-one.
