KOHIMA, OCT 9 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister, TR Zeliang, on Monday said that importing labourers, builders and illegal immigrants from outside was “dangerous trend in ruining our economy.” Addressing the 3rd VDB conference cum mission Antyodaya Gram Samridhi Evam Swachchata Pakhwada (village well-being and cleanliness fortnight) Monday at SIRD Auditorium here, the chief minister said Nagas should not blame the government over the huge presence of the illegal immigrants, but blame “ourselves because we brought them”. Stating that government was laying huge emphasis on skill development of women and youth, the chief minister said availability of skilled work force would facilitate them to set up micro enterprises in villages and help in sustainable development. Skill development in various trades needed to be taken up in all the districts, Zeliang said, adding that through skill development, tangible changes could be brought about in

DIMAPUR, OCT 9 (NPN): A day after Nagaland RMSA Teachers Association-2016 (NRMSATA -16) served a 7-day deadline on RMSA department over non-release of salary, the Nagaland Public Rights Awareness and Action Forum (NPRAAF) has come out with “strong support” to the teachers and demanded that the Department of School Education (DoSE) must disburse salaries without further delay. NPRAAF through its publicity and information cell revealed that the Finance Department through the Budget and Monitoring Cell had released a total of Rs.99.83 crore under RMSA during 2016-17 and 2017-18 to the DoSE (demand No.31-School Education). NPRAAF pointed out that Rs.67.83crore was released during 2016-17 on four occasionsRs.278.84lakhs on March 6, 2017; Rs.3994.82 lakhs on June 16,2016; Rs.1426.41 lakh on September 14,2016 and Rs. 1083.17 lakhs on December 19,2016. Further, it said the FD also released a total of Rs.32 crore on five occasions for the financial year 2017-18. NPRAAF said Rs.305.58 lakh was released on April 26,2017;Rs.591.82 lakh on June 14, 2017; Rs.687.10 lakh on June 20,2017; Rs.1541.71 lakh on August 2,2017 and Rs.76.34 lakhs on Auguest 3,2017. NPRAAF also pointed out that while issuing Drawal Authority, on April 26,2017 and June 20, 2017 amounting to Rs.9.90 crore, the FD had mentioned that they were intended for payment of salaries. Again DA was issued on March 6,2017 , June 14,2017 and August 3,2017 amounting to Rs.9.47 crore which were indicated as 10% state share under RMSA. Since the FD had not indicated any other activities/ works for the rest of the releases in the DAs, NPRAAF said this had also given rise to “doubtful payments”. (Cont’d on p-7)

the village economy. Maintaining that lack of skilled work force to a great extent has limited the scope of development in villages, the chief minister said that this was the reason the state government had declared 2016 as year of “Construction workers”. Zeliang said that all the government programmes were intended to achieve and take care of different facets of rural development. In this regard, he said equal importance and priority must therefore be given to each programme to bring about holistic development, which would go a long way in bringing about positive transformation and sustainable development of villages. To harness the best

possible outcomes through successful implementation of various programmes, the chief minister said it was imperative that all stakeholders of rural development were adequately trained through capacity building. Further, he said that capacity building programme and government mission should move together to make it a sustainable mission. On checking corruption, he asked the public to advise or suggest proper system to check corruption. Zeliang said that without strong system put in place, no matter how much funds were poured in, it would flow with water. He maintained that proper system alone can change the corruption. On road connectivity

in the state, the chief minister said public also needed to raise their voice against the contractors who were allotted for certain project but did not construct the roads. In this regard, he said a consultative meet has been convened with all the stakeholders on October 10, 2017. Informing that the Centre has approved seven National Highways in the state, the chief minister said the state government intended to make the best connectivity across the state. In this regard, the chief minister appealed to the VDB leaders to talk to the landowners not to obstruct the work during construction claiming land ownership. (Cont’d on p-8)

the matter. Due to promulgation of prohibitory orders, students who were supposed to join the silent procession reportedly staged protests in their respective institutions.

ACAUT rejects draft Lokayukta Bill, 2015 Dimapur CSOs DIMAPUR, OCT 9 (NPN): ACAUT Nagaland has out rightly rejected the state government’s draft on “Nagaland Lokayukta Bill, 2015” saying “the bill was just an attempt to hoodwink the Naga public.” ACAUT Nagaland through its chairman Joel Naga and member, Mar Longkumer, in a letter to the chairman of the Standing Committee on Lokayukta, made its stand clear that ACAUT would not accept the bill in its present form under any circumstances ACAUT said almost 1/3rd bill, signed by chief minister T.R. Zeliang on July 18, 2015, was unacceptable, saying it ran contrary to the meeting held on September 26 with the standing Committee on Lokayukta. ACAUT said that the government had presented the proposed bill in a rushed manner without giving ample time to ACAUT members to study the bill before it is presented. Terming the draft ‘Nagaland Lokayukta Bill, 2015’ as “useless”, ACAUT said section 8, section 14 (4) (b), section 16, section 20, section 25 (2, 3, 4 & 5) and section 30 of the bill was totally unacceptable.

With regard to section 9, ACAUT stated the particularly section was deemed to infringe upon the effectiveness of Nagaland Lokayukta and at the same time demanded that the insertion of ‘Second Schedule’ (in section 9) was completely unnecessary and needed to be deleted as a whole. Even after raising important points during the recent meeting, ACAUT said it was utterly surprised to note that the word “suo motu”, which was crucial for the effectiveness of the Lokayukta, was nowhere mentioned in the draft, particularly in Section 11 (1). ACAUT further pointed out that there was no investigation wing and prosecution wing in the Nagaland Lokayukta Bill, 2015. While stating that section 26 needed to be “fundamentally rephrased”, ACAUT said the requirement of prior sanction from the competent authority to go ahead without prosecution cannot be blanket. It reminded the committee that Section 197 of the CrPC and Section 19 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 accord safeguards to help public servants (Cont’d on p-7)

Dey said if the concerned district or sub-divisional authorities failed to take appropriate actions to free the occupied Con-

gress party offices, the party would launch an agitation from October-end.

He said that a total of 40,769 customers have availed a total loan of Rs 8,757 crore under the scheme out of which a total of 5827 entrepreneurs of SC category have received loans amounting to Rs 1091 crore.

Meghalaya Taxation Minister Zenith M. Sangma, who also addressed the gathering, said that due to lack of awareness about the financial support system, unavailability of banking facilities and financial assistance in the rural areas, people are often forced to borrow from other sources for financial support which limits their higher borrowing capacity and hence the gap in financial inclusion. He said the scheme will not only ensure greater connectivity, but will also bridge the financial inclusion gaps and provide a better social security cover for the people.

what do you have to say about crony capitalism? Will you give direction to the CBI to probe the matter? Will you ask ED to arrest these people,” Sibal asked at a press conference here. The demand from the opposition parties came after a media report, with Sibal, citing filings with the Registrar of Companies (RoC), saying the turnover of Jay Amit Shah-owned Temple Enterprise zoomed by around 16,000 times during 2015-16 at around Rs 80 crore over the previous year. Sibal, citing RoC filings, also alleged that a firm Kusum Finserve LLP, in which Jay Amit Shah had 60 per cent stake, had also got a contract in Madhya Pradesh in wind power sector despite the company being engaged in stock trading. Putting up a strong defence against opposition parties’ attack, Union minister Piyush Goyal dismissed their charge and released a statement by Jay Amit Shah in which he said that he will sue the author, editor and owner of the news website which published the story, for Rs 100 crore. “The article makes false, derogatory and defamatory imputation against

me by creating in the minds of right-thinking people an impression that my business owes its ’success’ to my father Shri Amitbhai Shah’s political position ... My businesses are fully legitimate and conducted in a lawful manner on commercial lines, which is reflected in my tax records, and are through banking transactions,” Shah’s son said in the statement. Sibal also alleged that a company owned by Jay Amit Shah got a loan of Rs 25 crore from a cooperative bank without sufficient collateral security, besides a loan of Rs 10.35 crore from Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Limited (IREDA), a public sector firm under the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, which is under Goyal. To a query whether there was any wrongdoing, Sibal said, “I am talking about crony capitalism. Offence will come to light when we get to know why the loan was sanctioned. We know who the CBI and ED will investigate and who the agencies will not investigate. Issue is whether the prime minister is honest enough to say that investigate son of Amit Shah.”

procession on October 9, 2017. The signatories LSU president Lopemo M. Tsopoe, LEH president Mhonchumi Humtsoe and ANPSA Wokha unit president, Mhonyamo Ngullie termed it as “sheer curbing of our democratic rights by use of brute force and state machineries”. They therefore, demanded satisfactory response from DC and DM to the following queries within 72 hours through print media from the date of its publication: (a) the process whereby Section 144 Cr PC was promulgated during a silent procession, (b) all minutes and details regarding apprehension of

violence, reports of intended violence, and all such details so associated in arriving towards the decision for imposition of same, (c) disclosure of all details of order and directions, if any, received from external sources/higher ups for imposition of same and (d) why section 144 CrPC was imposed only towards the student’s community and not on general public, and why vehicular movement was not restricted as per the ordered issued by DC. Failing to meet the above demands, the three organizations cautioned that DC and DM would be held solely responsible for insulting the Lotha students’ community in particular and Lothas in general and would

be compelled to pursue their own course of action/s in order to safeguard and protect the rights. Further, the organizations have appealed to all rights thinking citizens/organizations to join in condemning such abuse of power by the higher authorities. Narrating the chain of events leading up to the crisis, the three organizations stated that on October 3, 2017 one T. Rendemo Ngullie, a standard IX student of Brighter High School Wokha was reportedly arrested by police while still in uniform. After his release, he was allegedly assaulted by a group of people. In view of the above, the organizations have resolved to carry out a silent procession in

Wokha town against the unethical and illegal treatment meted out to a student in uniform. Meanwhile, in the promulgation order issued on October 8, DC and DM stated that, “in view of apprehension that miscreants may disturb the procession and create law and order problems, the office of the Deputy Commissioner… conveyed regret to the appeal for holding the silent procession”. On the apprehension that the situation may deteriorate leading to rampage and escalate into a riot causing

physical injuries and damage to properties in the town besides hindrances to normal official duties of the government offices, the prohibitory order was deemed necessary to restore the normal life of the people and restore peace and tranquility at Wokha town, the order stated. Later, the prohibitory order which was imposed on Monday from 6 a.m. “till further orders” was lifted at 2 p.m. “till further orders.” Meanwhile, PWD Colony Council, Wokha town has expelled T. Rendemo Ngullie from the colony. An order signed by PWD

Colony Council chairman Motsuthung Kikon and secretary Mhonthung Murry which was made available to Nagaland Post stated that the “PWD Colony Council comprising of Council members, Eloe Hoho and PWD Youth Organization and the public of PWD Colony during its emergency meeting on October 8, 2017 at GBs Court, and as per resolution of the Council, resolved unanimously to expel T. Rendemo Ngullie, son of Thungbemo Ngullie, village of Changsu Old, Wokha, Nagaland for the offence of umpteen purloin with immediate effect.”

Appreciating the H&FW department for its tireless effort to immunize all the children in the state, the minister urged the department to be one of the best performing states in the country in immunization programme. The minister also acknowledged the principal secretary, principal director and subordinate officers of the department for their support in implementing the programme across the state. Imchen also urged the media and all stakeholders to work in close association with each other in order to sensitize, and create awareness in both urban and rural areas with special emphasis on rural and remote areas. Emphasising the importance of creating awareness, he asked the media persons to widely disseminate its importance and the necessity to get vaccinated against all the preventable diseases. Imchen said immunization was the most effective and cheapest means of treatment as the cost of treatment becomes too expensive after a person has already been inflicted due to non-immunization at young age. Pointing out that IMI was planned to be launched on October 8, 2017, the minister, however, said that October 8 being Sunday and Nagaland being a Christian state, he decided to launch it on October 9, 2017. Even in future, he said there would be no official

programme on Sundays unless the programme was “extra ordinary important”. Principal secretary, H&FW, Menukhol John, who led the launching programme, said the department has been giving its concerted efforts in order to get children fully immunized. He said the officers of the department were all engaged and monitoring IMI activities including head count, recording name, date of birth, sex identification and others. The department officials, colony chairman and a host of villagers attended the launching programme. According to the plan, states will conduct IMI drives for 7 working days from 7th day of every month starting from October 7, 2017 for four consecutive months excluding Sundays, holidays and Routine Immunization days. A total of 118 districts, 17 urban areas and 52 districts of North East states will be targeted under Intensified Mission Indradhanush. Four phases of Mission Indradhanush have been completed in 528 districts across the country. More than 2.47 crore children and around 67 lakh pregnant women have been vaccinated under Mission Indradhanush so far. The first two phases of Mission Indradhanush led to an increase of 6.7% full immunization coverage in 1 year as compared to 1% increase in the past. This increase has been more prominent in rural areas as compared to urban areas.

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said Indian soldiers along the India-Pakistan border had been neutralising at least five-six terrorists every day and that he has asked them to give a fitting reply if Pakistan opened fire. Singh said yesterday he had ordered Indian soldiers not to fire at their Pakistani counterparts first, but give them a fitting reply by “firing countless bullets” if Pakistan opened fire. On the Doklam issue, he said India was not a weak country anymore, but a strong one, and was in a position to resolve the contentious matter with its neighbour China. “India is no more a weak nation, but a strong country. You ought to know how India resolved the Dokalam issue with China, especially when most people across the globe were anticipating an India-China conflict,” the home minister said. “If India was a weak country, it could not have been in a position to resolve the Dokalam issue with China,” he added. Indian and Chinese soldiers had engaged in standoff in Dokalam in Sikkim sector for more than two months earlier this year after PLA troops tried to build a road in the area claimed by Indian ally Bhutan. The standoff was later resolved through diplomatic negotiations.

NEW DELHI, OCT 9 (AGENCIES): Opposition parties have sought a probe into claims in a media report that a company owned by BJP chief Amit Shah’s son saw a huge rise in its turnover after his party came to power in 2014. The charge was rejected by the BJP and Shah’s son, Jay Amit Shah, who termed the story “false, derogatory and defamatory“. Jay Shah also slapped a Rs 100 crore defamation suit on a website, which alluded to irregularities by a company owned by Shah junior, resulting in a fierce war of words between the ruling party and the Congress, with AAP and others also joining in. Training their guns at the Modi government by citing the news story’s content, the Congress, the Left and the AAP demanded an investigation, with Congress leader Kapil Sibal alleging that it was a case of “crony capitalism“.

He said the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) needed to maintain its core competence against terrorism so that the country’s top strategic installations were not hit by any terror group. “The CISF should conduct regular security audits of all important buildings and installations.

A dubious record

CAUT Nagaland has filed a PIL in the Gauhati High Court against doubtful identities in the electoral roll where names of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants and bogus persons appear in the electoral roll through dubious and multiple entries and therefore, demanded that such names be struck off and accountability fixed on those responsible. It is not the first time that the state’s electoral roll has come under scrutiny of various organisations in the past. When the extensive revision was conducted sometime in 2012, doubts about the authentic of the rolls came true when some village(s) had more voters than the actual population. The question is whether the Election department had taken serious note of such matter(s) and fixed responsibility on those involved in preparation of the roll? As per the latest electoral roll of Nagaland there are 11, 98, 449 voters as of 2013 out of a total population of 19,80,602 ( 2011 Census) or roughly about 60% voters in the state. If ACAUT has strong and valid reasons to believe that out of 11, 98, 499 voters, there is a large chunk of bogus voters, then the figure would drastically come down further. Some unofficial sources put the figure of bogus voters as high as around two lakh or even more. The main complaint against the electoral roll is that names of large number of Illegal Bangladeshi Immigrant that have been included through dubious means and others through double or multiple entries. The doubtful figure in the electoral roll is as much as challenge for fair elections as the lingering doubts that exist over the exact population figure of Nagaland. It may be recalled, that Nagaland had continuously achieved the distinction of being the most prolific breeder in India with very high decennial growth rate. During 1991-2001 Nagaland had a population growth rate of 64.53% as against the national growth rate of 21.54% for the same period. After Nagaland attained statehood, the first census in 1971 showed a total population of 5,16,000. In 1981 population increased to 7,75,000. The census created an artificial and abnormal figure of 12,09,546 in 1991. The consequence was that the state’s population as per the 2001 census shot up to 19,90,036. The figure came down in 2011 to 19,80,602 mainly because the population did not fit with the ground reality for planning purposes. Even during 2001, the state government had vainly tried to explain the humanly impossible and fantastic growth by alluding it to inclusion of lakhs of migrants. In contrast, officials who have been closely monitoring the 1991-2001 census with random samples taken in several districts, instead showed negative growth as against the abnormal census figures. The random samples, according to these sources, only point to the probability that perhaps the exact population could be anywhere in the region of 12 to 15 lakh and not 19,90,036 people. For the sake of argument, if the population is 15 lakh then the electoral roll should remain at 60% or 9 lakh voters. Interestingly, if the PIL is to be acted upon, then a very significant number would be reduced from the present figure. Suppose some two lakh or even more names are struck off from the electoral roll, then it could affect the delimitation which is likely to come by 2020. Each assembly constituency is supposed to have around 30,000 voters but if the population figure and electoral roll reflect negative growth, then the number of voters in each segment could drastically come down and which would mean clubbing together two or more assembly segments. This is in sharp contrast to the expectation and demands for increasing the assembly constituencies from the present 60 to 80 members. The situation confirms that Nagaland is indeed a ‘unique’ state.

DailyDevotion Building on the Atonement …present…your members as instruments of righteousness to God. -Romans 6:13 I cannot save and sanctify myself; I cannot make atonement for sin; I cannot redeem the world; I cannot right what is wrong, purify what is impure, or make holy what is unholy. That is all the sovereign work of God. Do I have faith in what Jesus Christ has done? He has made the perfect atonement for sin. Am I in the habit of constantly realizing it? The greatest need we have is not to ~Ido~I things, but to~Ibelieve~I things. The redemption of Christ is not an experience, it is the great act of God which He has performed through Christ, and I have to build my faith on it. If I construct my faith on my own experience, I produce the most unscriptural kind of life- an isolated life, with my eyes focused solely on my own holiness. Beware of that human holiness that is not based on the atonement of the Lord. It has no value for anything except a life of isolation- it is useless to God and a nuisance to man. Measure every kind of experience you have by our Lord Himself. We cannot do anything pleasing to God unless we deliberately build on the foundation of the atonement by the Cross of Christ. The atonement of Jesus must be exhibited in practical, unassuming ways in my life. Every time I obey, the absolute deity of God is on my side, so that the grace of God and my natural obedience are in perfect agreement. Obedience means that I have completely placed my trust in the atonement, and my obedience is immediately met by the delight of the supernatural grace of God. Beware of the human holiness that denies the reality of the natural life- it is a fraud. Continually bring yourself to the trial or test of the atonement and ask, “Where is the discernment of the atonement in this, and in that?”

Success is a science; if you have the conditions, you get the result. ~ Oscar Wilde

H

ere are some common myths about animal behaviour: Myth: Mother birds will reject their babies if they have been touched by humans. Truth: Most birds have a poorly developed sense of smell and will not notice a human smell. But if you pick up the chicks in the nest, she will be close by watching and she may get alarmed at the human disturbance and abandon her chicks. Myth: Fish only grow to the size of their tank so you can put in as many as you like. Truth: Fish will grow to the size that their genetics are programmed to let them. However, they will stunt and become unhealthy and suffer if the tank is too small. Myth: Rattlesnakes rattle before they attack. Truth: Rattlesnakes don’t give a warning before they bite. They rattle when they are frightened and need to let you know about their presence. Myth: Ostriches bury their heads in the sand. Tr uth: As oxygenbreathers they would die if they did so. But they dig holes in the ground and put their eggs there and every few hours they turn the eggs so that they get the warmth of the sun evenly. To an observer at a distance this looks like burying their heads. Myth: Snakes can only bite if they are coiled. Truth: Coiling is not an aggressive posture but a defensive one that the snake adopts to prevent its

long body from being hurt. Snakes can bite from any position, but coiling makes it more difficult for it. Myth: Snakes are slimy. Truth: Snakes are really dry to touch. Their skin is very sensitive and it is easy to hurt them when you touch them. Myth: Snakes travel in pairs of male and female. Truth: Snakes do not form pair bonds except briefly during breeding season and they certainly don’t travel together. Myth: Bats are blind. Truth: Bats have small eyes but these are completely functional. They use sonar to fly in the dark and have an excellent sense of hearing and smell. Myth: Beavers eat fish. Truth: Even though they make their homes in water, they eat plants. Myth: Bulls react violently to the colour red. Truth: Bulls are colour blind. They react to movements that they find threatening. Bullfighters who go in with swords, spears and knives to kill the bulls, use a red cloak to hide the bloodstains. Myth: Camels store water in their humps. Truth: The hump is made of fat. Camels have oval red blood cells which allow them to absorb and release water slowly. Myth: Elephants have a thick skin. Truth: Elephant skin is extremely sensitive and can feel a fly sitting on them. They get sunburnt very fast, which is why they bathe in mud to protect themselves,

Common myths about animal and mothers constantly make sure their children are in the shade. Myth: Frogs or toads will give you warts if you touch them. Tr u t h : Wa r t s a r e caused by a human virus. Myth: Hens have no teeth. Truth: They do. Myth: Crocodiles weep when they are pretending to be sad. Tr uth: Crocodiles can’t chew so they rip their food into chunks and swallow it whole. The glands that keep their eyes wet are situated near their throats, so while they are eating they actually have tears in their eyes. Myth: Goldfish have a three second memory. Truth: Goldfish, and all other fish, are very bright. They recognize sounds, operate levers, recognize people, and being hurt, and remember food time. Myth: Lice prefer clean or dirty hair. Truth: Lice have no preference for either oily, dirty or clean hair. They just like hair. Myth: Chameleons change their colours to fit into the environment. Truth: They change their colours as per their moods.

Myth: Snakes react to music. Truth: Snakes are deaf. They see the flute as a stick that will hurt them and sway to avoid it. Myth: A blue whale can eat a car. Truth: the largest thing it can swallow would be the size of a large orange. Myth: Mice love cheese. Truth: Mice like sweet food much more than cheese. This myth probably comes from cartoon movies. The same as rabbits and carrots, and elephants and peanuts. Myth: Rhinos have horns on their noses. Truth: No, it is matted hair. Myth: Elephants stomp around making a lot of noise. Truth: Elephants walk very quietly. Myth: Fish are mute. Truth: They make as much noise as animals on a farm. You just can’t hear them. Myth: Sharks don’t get cancer. Truth: Sharks do get cancer. This was a myth constructed by a company that sold shark cartilage as cancer prevention treatments. Myth: Earthworms

become two when they are cut in half. Truth: They die. Myth: Houseflies live for a day. Truth: They live for 20-30 days Myth: Flamingos rest on one leg to conserve heat, because the water is cold. Truth: They rest on one leg because it is the most restful and does not involve any muscular work. Standing on one leg is exhausting for humans. Myth: Sharks have endless rows of teeth. Truth: Sharks have one row at a time and these are attached by soft tissue to the skin covering the jaw. These fall out easily if worn out and the one underneath comes up to replace it within 24 hours. Myth: Bedbugs bore into mattresses and other things, burrow, dig and fly. Truth: No, they can only walk. Myth: All spiders have webs. Truth: Hunting spiders, like wolf spiders, jumping spiders and trapdoor spiders, pursue their prey rather than build webs and wait for prey to come along. It is true, however, that all spiders produce silk, even if they don’t use it to build webs. Myth: Cockroaches are virtually indestructible and can survive a nuclear war. Truth: According to the magazine American Entomologist, American cockroaches die when exposed to 20,000 rads (unit of measure for radiation), compared to fruit flies, which can withstand 64,000 rads,

and the lesser grain borer, which handles 180,000 rads. The notion of them being the ultimate survivors probably comes from the fact that they are flexible eaters and so will always find something organic to survive on. Myth: Termites are just white ants. Truth: Ants and termites are completely different insect groups. Even physically: Ants have compound eyes, termites have no eyes; ants have elbowed antennae, termites have just bead like segments; ants have waists, termites don’t; ants have abdomens that are pointed at the end, termites have blunt ended abdomens; ant workers are all females, termites are both male and female; ants are scavengers, with different species foraging for different foods. Some ants live within damp/decaying wood, but do not actually eat the wood. Termites are plant tissue specialists, feeding on wood and grasses, and some species can cause extensive damage to buildings and trees through their feeding and nesting habits; ants belong to the family Formicidae. Termites belong to several different families. Myth: Spider bites can kill you Tr uth: Spiders are rarely venomous enough to do any actual harm to humans and the ones commonly found in your house are keeping the other insect populations down.To join the animal welfare movement contact gandhim@ nic.in, www.peopleforanimalsindia.org

The PSAN argues that some bunch of aspirants who had scored well in the written examination in 2015 were not allocated EAC or CLASS 1 position or jobs due to the low scores obtained in viva voce thereby raising unreasonable allegations of nepotism, favouritism and corruption employed in the interviewing process. However, one should remember that an aspiring candidate is expected to do well in both the written examination as well as in the viva voce and the overall scores of both these components are considered for final merit. If the PSAN wishes to stand up for the claims of these handful of aspirants who have raised undue concerns, then what about the rest of the majority of aspirants who have in fact worked hard and had put in all their efforts to face the interview board and performed well on the day of the viva voce and scored good marks? The question is this: Is there any empirical evidence to substantiate the allegations raised by the PSAN regarding corruption, nepotism and favouritism in NPSC viva voce? Does the PSAN possess concrete facts and evidence to supplement their allegation or is purely based on perceptions and was deliberately misconstrued? Reducing the criteria to adjust to the norms of less competent candidates is a mockery to highly competent and capable candidates who demonstrate their achievement through sheer hard work and dedication. So much so, there are certain groups and unions using tribalism as a reason by stating that certain tribes were unfairly sidelined and unduly targeted. This poses a question if these groups are even aware of the fact that there exist several candidates hailing from different tribes who have scored 30 marks in viva voce? Just as in the past years when candidates from a particular tribe achieved maximum class-I jobs, not a single aspirant/ community complained of nepotism or favouritism in those said years, so why the DOUBLE-STANDARD when other tribes make it

to Class-I jobs when they have sincerely worked hard and rightfully deserve to be rewarded for their dedication and efforts? The ideal response of every mature candidate who has been unsuccessful in their attempt should be to first admit and embrace their own failure, evaluate and take an inventory of their own shortcomings and then work on those areas so that they can improve and come back better the next time. This should be the attitude instead of always pin-pointing faults and throwing tantrums at the NPSC. There are instances of aspirants with high morale, who had never given up even after unsuccessful results, but had worked sincerely and earned success through hard work and dedication. These are the qualities that should be admired and considered in aspirants who would make excellent future administrators. NPSC as a respectable institute will continue to remain to serve the public and PSAN, or for that matter, all the aspirants should respect and uphold the sanctity of NPSC as an honourable institute and not always targeting and tarnishing its image. It is very important that we are not carried away by unnecessary emotions inciting publicity stunts and demands made on the pretext of tribalism. Our demands should be within the ambit of the laid down rules and procedures and should be guided by rationality and sound judgement. As a matter of fact, PSAN should not take sides and play favouritism within their own group just to please a few people for their own gain, self-interest and for selfish motives and agendas. If the PSAN is truly for the masses, they should scrutinize and validate perspectives from every angle and place their demands and suggestions that are unbiased, uniform, acceptable and fair to all aspirants and not just a select few.

On grievances of DPAN

1) Implementation of Governments’ decision on the recommendations of the 7th central pay commission. 2) Revision of pension of pre-2006 pensioners/ family pensioners etc. It is a known fact that the government of Nagaland follows into the pension regulation of the central government for her employees in the state since no action has been taken till to date by the government of Nagaland vide government of India, Ministry of personal p.g. department of pension and P.W/A(pt) Dt. 5th March 2015 and revision of pension pre-2006 pensioners vide 38/37/08-p&pw (A) dt. 6th April 2016 over the above findings no alternatives has to make an urgent appeal to implement and to provide relief to the pensioners in this day of economic hardships. We, the pensioners mostly depend on this hard earned money for the daily sustenance of our family. As a first step pension is treated not only as a reward for passed services but with a view to helping the employees to avoid destitution in old age. That pension is not a bounty nor a matter of grace depending upon the sweet will of the employer. It is not an exgratia payment but a payment for the past service rendered. The court authoritatively ruled the pension is a right and the payment of it does not depend upon the discretion of the government but is governed by the rules and the government servant coming within these rules is entitled to claim pension but to receive pension flows to the officer not because of any such order but by virtue of the rules. Under the above circumstances we the pensioners union request the state government to release the pending arrears as stated above. If no affirmative action is taken by the state government immediately there is no other alternative except to seek redressal of our grievances from other legal forums. In this context, there are certain instances which the supreme court has given ruling that the pensioners would be paid interest for any delay in payment are entitled to get 18% interest per annum (Supreme court 1987 (5) SLR SC. 288.

Review of the Nagaland Municipal Act

Sir,

The Naga Municipal Act (NMA), 2001 Review committee in a welcoming initiative has called for a meeting on 11th October “ to discuss matters pertaining to review of the NMA” , where “all members of the committee, Chairman/ President of Tribal Hohos and other stakeholders” have been invited. The “Tribal Hoho” representatives would obviously be our gentlemen but the term “other stakeholders” is a vague reference. While appreciating the effort, we sincerely hope our womenfolk are not sidelined or excluded from the decision making process of this significant Act. Please ensure to involve our WOMEN representatives and in adequate numbers to allow for free and fair representation; in doing so, without the fear of being excommunicated by their respective tribal bodies. Kuknalim. Gracy Aye, Dimapur

NPRAAF slams DoSE for delay...

(From p-1) Since the state government has already released the above funds under RMSA , NPRAAF demanded to know from the DoSE as to why it continued to withhold salaries of RMSA teachers who are made to go through undue harassment and forced to run from pillar to post for what is rightfully theirs? The forum termed as “most unfortunate” that the “unfed teachers” have to resort to ultimatums as an option to let the authorities “hear the grumbling sounds in their empty stomach”.

ACAUT rejects draft Lokayukta... (From p-1) discharge duties honestly and not to shield the guilty. “If prior sanction of the government was required to prosecute guilty public servants, the Lokayukta Bill would become another toothless tiger,” ACAUT stated. In this regard, ACAUT has asked the chairman of the Standing Committee to accept the recommendation put up by them-- ‘draft Lokayukta Bill, 2017’-having all salient features necessary for an effective Lokayukta. Unless the committee was willing to draft a new bill titled ‘Nagaland Lokayukta Bill, 2017’ by reintroducing it in the special session of the NLA, with crucial inputs from

VDBs have Rs.82 crores in fixed deposit yet state government could provide only Rs. 3 crore as matching cash grant. He said in view of the requirements of social economic development, it was important to increase the fix deposits to Rs. 1,000 crore at least by 2030 if not earlier. On Swachhata, Kumar said each household should have proper toilets by October 2, 2019. He asserted that Nagaland must achieve this target and urged individuals and community to take responsibility of ownership. He also laid an action plan for VDB till 2030, which includes focus on increasing the area under tree cover and the quality of tree cover by lengthening the jhum cycle. The chief secretary also advocated on adopting improved farming methods in rearing of crops as well as animals to increase productivity and incomes and also to make full use of the international projects funded by IFAD, JICA and KFW. Nagaland VDB association (NVDBA) president, Tohoshe Awomi, delivered greetings on the occasion. Eleven VDBs from 11 districts received best performing VDB in the district 2016-17.

departments must be taken up on priority based on the feasibility. He said every effort must be made to ensure successful implementation of those projects. On the special convergence programme with horticulture department which undertook massive cultivation of Cardamom in 10 Districts apart from Dimapur in 201617, the chief minister said it should be the collective will and responsibility of all the VDBs to ensure that such innovative projects with focus on income generating activities were successfully implemented. He also informed the VDB to ensure that social audit were conducted at regular intervals in all the villages to bring transparency and accountability in the implementation of various programmes. Minister RD and REPA, EE Pangteang, in his address advised the block level officers to assist the beneficiaries in the banking system so they were not deprived of their due share. Also, Pangteang said that VDB being the core committee in the village must set good example and guide the other sister committees like the VEC, electricity, health to being holistic development in the villagers.

(From p-1) Dwelling on the existence of VDB for the last 41 years, the chief minister asked the VDBs to recall the year of VDB establishment and see where it was heading. He added that if village economy was poor, the strength of state and country would also become poor. The chief minister also urged the Rural Development department and VDBs to seriously ponder on how to attain the desired level of development as entrusted for development of rural areas. On implementation of MGNREGA, the chief minister said it had direct impact on the livelihoods of the poor by way of providing much needed employment to poor rural households and simultaneously creating durable assets in the villages. Therefore, Zeliang said focus should be on how best the MGNREGA programme could be implemented to its advantage to reap optimal benefits by converging/ dovetailing with other programmes. Lamenting that MGNREGA convergence has not been very encouraging, the chief minister said convergence of activities with horticulture, forest, land resources, roads & bridges and other allied

Meanwhile, the house expressed concern over the “alarming incidents of antisocial activities occurring at regular intervals” and questioned why the state government has kept silent and failed to take action on ultimatum given by four business organisations (DCCI, BAN, EDBA and CTCC) which expired on October 5, 2017.

India`s central bank has a medium-term target for annual inflation of 4 percent with the flexbility of plus/minus 2 percent on either side to make room for food price volatility.

The house noted that in spite of several protests and appeals by public to all the factions against taxation and random extortion, there has been no let up and instead “more unwanted activities” were continuing and was turning from bad to worse. Affirming that Nagas were tired of “torture, extortion and intimidation” on innocent public and businessman, mostly in the name of political movement, the house maintained that “such kind of unwanted activities should be condemned by all.” Further, the meeting on behalf of public of Dimapur appealed to NSCN (K) authority to take appropri-

The (MPC) will strive to achieve its 4 percent inflation target on a “durable basis”, Patel said. Last week, the RBI kept its repo rate unchanged at 6.00 percent as expected last week, and raised inflation projections, cooling hopes for future rate cuts. However, Patel said growth was already starting to recover. The RBI last week cut its projection for gross value added - an indicator of growth it prefers to 6.7 percent from 7.3 percent for the year ending in March - higher than some analyst forecasts. “Our projections based on high frequency real economy indicators suggest that growth will pick up in the third and fourth quarters (of the current fiscal year) to above 7 percent,” he told Mint. “We have started seeing the upturn.”

Mumbai, Oct 9 (Agencies): Fostering monetary conditions conducive to economic growth were a constant consideration for Indian policymakers, but would not take priority over achieving the central bank`s inflation target, Governor Urjit Patel told a newspaper on Monday. Patel told the Mint newspaper that the economy was recovering, after growth slowed to a threeyear low of 5.7 percent in the April-June quarter. The slowdown had sparked some calls for lower interest rates, but with inflation rising the RBI left rates unchanged at a review by the monetary policy committee (MPC) last week. “Growth is always there in the MPC`s scheme of things; we don`t lose sight of that, but not at the cost of inflation,” Patel was quoted as saying in the

American Richard Thaler wins Economics Nobel

Tunisia health minister after charity run London, Oct 9 (Agencies): Tunisia’s health minister has died of a heart attack after taking part in a charity marathon to help fight cancer. Slim Chaker, 56, fell ill after running some 500 metres, and died in a military hospital, the health ministry said. Prime Minister Youssef Chahed said he had lost a “brother and colleague”, who had died doing a noble humanitarian act. The marathon was held in the coastal town of Nabeul on Sunday to raise funds to build a cancer clinic for children. Mr Chaker was appointed health minister last month in a major cabinet reshuffle. He was a former banker who had served in the ministries of finance, sports and youth after the overthrow of long-serving ruler Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali in 2011.

important contribution to economics “was the recognition that economic agents are human and that economic models have to incorporate that”. The Nobel committee in an official release stated that Thaler had “built a bridge between the economic and psychological analyses of individual decision-making”. It added that his efforts to explore the consequences of limited rationality, social preferences and lack of self-control, had shown how these traits system-

atically affect individual decisions, as well as market outcomes. “His empirical findings and theoretical insights have been instrumental in creating the new and rapidly expanding field of behavioural economics, which has had a profound impact on many areas of economic research and policy,” it said. The academic, born in New Jersey in 1945, studied for his Ph.D at the University of Rochester. Officially known as the Sveriges Riksbank prize in memory of Alfred Nobel, the award winner is selected by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm, Sweden. Thaler will receive 9 million Swedish krona (850,000 pounds) from the committee. Asked how he would spend the prize money, he said: “I will try to spend it as irrationally as possible!

Washington, Oct 9 (IANS): A Republican Senator has warned that President Donald Trump was treating his office like “a reality show” with reckless threats toward other countries that could set the nation “on the path to World War III”, the media reported. Bob Corker, the Republican chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, on Sunday said he was alarmed about a President who acts “like he’s doing ‘The Apprentice’ or something”, reports The New York Times. “He concerns me... He would have to concern anyone who cares about our nation.” The Senator’s remarks came after Trump, earlier on Sunday, accused Corker of deciding not to run for reelection because he “didn’t have the guts”. Trump said he had “begged” for his endorsement. “I said ‘no’ and he dropped out (said he could not win without my endorsement).”

London, Oct 9 (Agencies): North Korea’s Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un has given his sister more power by promoting her to the nation’s top decisionmaking body. K i m Yo - j o n g, t h e youngest daughter of late leader Kim Jong-il, will be replacing her aunt as a member of the Workers Party’s Politburo. Ms Kim, 30, was referred to as a senior party official three years ago. The Kim family has ruled North Korea since the country was established following the Second World War in 1948. Ms Kim, who has frequently appeared alongside her brother in public and is thought to have been responsible for his public image, was already influential as vice-director of the propaganda and agitation department. She is blacklisted by the US over alleged links to human rights abuses in North Korea. Her promotion was announced by Mr Kim at a party meeting on Saturday as part of a reshuffle

Paris, Oct 9 (IANS): The French government on Monday said it will not recognise Catalonia if it declares independence from Spain and such a move will mean expulsion from the European Union.

lan President Carles Puigdemont is expected to address the regional Parliament on Tuesday as there was no sign of a compromise with Madrid. The region of Catalonia, home to 7.5 million people in the northeast, is crucial to Spain, which is the EU’s fifth-biggest economy and a member of Nato. Catalonia’s High Court asked for Spanish national police to provide extra security at the court building

OSLO, OCT 9 (IANS): US economist Richard Thaler, one of the founding fathers of behavioural economics, on Monday won this year’s Nobel Prize for Economics. The 72-year-old is a professor at the University of Chicago. He co-wrote the global best-seller “Nudge”, which uses behavioural economics to tackle many of society’s major problems. It spawned “nudge theory” of how to help people make better life decisions. Among Thaler’s highly-influential theories is that of “mental accounting” -- the notion that consumers try to simplify their personal finances by creating accounts in their minds. This focuses the consumer on narrow outcomes, rather than considering the overall impact of a decision on their financial situation. Following the announcement of his prize, Thaler said that his most

‘What?’” Ryder says. As a teenager Ryder lit up the screen with her broody, but approachable ways in a slew of iconic films, like “Heathers”, “Beetlejuice” and “Reality Bites”. But the actor says her fame in the late ‘80s didn’t make her popular in school, instead she was teased more because of it. “I remember thinking, “Ooh, (‘Beetlejuice’) is like the number-one movie. This is going to make things great at school.” But it made things worse. They called me a witch,” she says. (PTI)

A

selection of Leonard Cohen‘s unpublished work is set to be officially released next year under the title The Flame. Cohen himself chose and ordered the poems in the book, of which “the overwhelming majority” is new material, The Guardian reports. The iconic Canadian poet and musician, who died aged 82 on November 7, 2016, first published a collection of poetry in 1956, and published 12 more volumes throughout his career. He also wrote two novels – ‘The Favorite Game’ and ‘Beautiful Losers’ – before his music career began in the late ’60s. Publisher Canongate has called new collection The Flame “an enormously powerful final chapter in Cohen’s storied literary career.” Cohen’s manager, Robert Kory, told The Guardian: “During the final months of his life, Leonard had a singular focus – completing this book, taken largely from his unpublished poems

and selections from his notebooks. The flame and how our culture threatened its extinction was a central concern. “Though in declining health, Leonard died unexpectedly. Those of us who had the rare privilege of spending time with him during this period recognised that the flame burned bright within him to the very end. This book, finished only days before his death, reveals to all the intensity of his inner fire.” In addition to his poetry, The Flame will also draw on his notebooks, which Canongate describes as “poetic” and said will provide “an unprecedentedly intimate look inside the life and mind of a singular artist and thinker”.

will hope to deliver a similar performance here. The batting department will largely be dependent on hard hitting batsmen Rohit Sharma, skipper Virat Kohli, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Hardik Pandya. Batsmen Shikhar Dhawan, Manish Pandey and Kedar Jadhav will only look to adding depth to the formidable India batting. Kohli might also fancy including veteran pacer Ashish Nehra in the team. Pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar will spearhead the bowling department for the hosts. Wrist spinners Yuzvendra

U-17 WC: India go down 1-2 to Colombia

Amarjit Kiyam of India (C), Fabian Angel (L) and Yadir Meneses of Colombia battle for the ball during the FIFA U-17 World Cup match on Monday.

New Delhi, Oct 9 (Agencies): Host nation India faced their second defeat at the 2017 Fifa Under-17 World Cup as they lost to Colombia 2-1 in their second group stage fixture at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi on Monday. Juan Penaloza scored a brace for the visitors, while Jeakson Singh bagged a historic goal for India. India’s moment of the night would come on the stroke of the 82nd minute, as the tall Punjabi midfielder Jeakson would head a Sanjeev Stalin corner home to give the home team their first-ever World Cup

goal as the JLN stadium erupted, in anticipation of a point. In an anti-climax though, the South Americans hit back less than a minute later as Penaloza capitalised on a loose ball in the box to give Colombia a lead as the match finished 2-1. India started with four changes to the line-up that lost 3-0 to the United States with Jeakson, Rahim Ali, Boris Singh Thangjam and Namit Deshpande replacing Suresh Singh Wangjam, Aniket Jadhav, Komal Thatal and Jitendra Singh for this crucial match. The home team start-

ed much more positively as compared to their game against the US as Jeakson and Anwar ensured that the bolt remained shut for most of the first half. Anwar, in particular, was outstanding in the center of the defence as he thwarted the South Americans’ attack time and again. Most of Colombia’s attacks were, as expected, coming in through the right flank as the midfield passed the ball to their highlyrated Jaminton Campaz but the no. 7 couldn’t break through as Boris Singh stuck close to him. The home team had their first real chance, when

Boris’ pass close to goal saw Abhijit Sarkar in an advanced position. The no 10 dribbled past two defenders, but then shot straight at goalkeeper Kevin Mier, earning India a corner. Colombia had their chances too as Dheeraj had to make a couple of smart saves to keep the scoreline to 0-0. Rahul KP had the best chance of the opening period as Boris running in from the right, slid the ball to the Kerala boy, only for the former’s effort to crash off the post, as India were kept waiting for their first goal, going 0-0 into the half time. The South Americans ended the half on a high, as they fought to take the lead. Juan Penaloza’s moment of brilliance then gave them the lead as he cut in, beat a defender and curled it into the left corner of the goal to give the South Americans a lead early in the second half. After an end-to-end finish that saw Dheeraj make a fanstastic save in the dying minutes, it finished as 2-1 in favour of the South Americans. India have lost both their matches and only have a minimal chance of progressing through to the knockouts after USA won their second match against Ghana to qualify.

Kane, Kante, Neymar nominated for Ballon d’Or Paris, Oct 9 (Agencies): Tottenham striker Harry Kane has been named among the first 25 nominees for the Ballon d’Or 2017, France Football has revealed. The prestigious award, which was aligned with FIFA from 2010 to 2015, has been won by either Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi for the past nine years. Ronaldo picked up his fourth Ballon d’Or last year to move one behind Messi, and the Portugal and Real Madrid forward is odds-on favourite to make it five this time around. France Football has opted to stagger out the nominees throughout Monday, with Kane one of six Premier League players to be announced on the shortlist so far. Liverpool duo Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane also feature, as does Chelsea’s N’Golo Kante, Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea and Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne. Paris Saint-Germain’s Neymar, Real Madrid trio Sergio Ramos, Marcelo and Luka Modric, and Barcelona duo Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez have also made the list of 30.
