People have rejected NPF: Madhav

Correspondent

MOKOKCHUNG, OCT 9 (NPN): BJP national general secretary, Ram Madhav on Tuesday asserted that the people of Nagaland have rejected the NPF in the last election. The mandate of the people should be respected and ensure that the ruling PDA coalition government is allowed to run smoothly, he said.

Speaking at the BJP Nagaland state unit’s 7th State Executive meeting at Town Hall here, Ram Madhav affirmed that pre-poll alliance with the NDPP and others would be maintained in order to maintain a stable government in Nagaland.

Taking a jab at the opposition NPF with which his party was in alliance in the previous government, Madhav said that politics was not charity, saying political parties want to strengthen their base and grow. He claimed that NPF restrained BJP’s growth in Nagaland prompting the latter to forge a prepoll alliance with NDPP on seat sharing basis.

Making the stance of the BJP clear, Madhav challenged the state BJP to “capture power to serve the

CMO on road re-alignment DIMAPUR, OCT 9 (NPN): On the issue of realignment of MerangkongTamlu-Mon road, the chief minister had a meeting with Union Minister of Road, Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari along with officials of the Ministry and NHIDCL on October 5, 2018 in New Delhi.

In a press release, chief minister’s office (CMO) said under the earlier approved SARDP project, 80 percent earth work was done by the earlier contractor M/s. Gayatri along the existing alignment.

However, after declaration of the road as National Highway, the gradient along this alignment was found not technically feasible, as per National Highway specifications.

Therefore, a new alignment was suggested, but the villages of Wakching area raised objections as the new alignment would not be touching their villages.

In view of the concern expressed by the villages, and as requested by chief minister, the Union Minister agreed for a final survey for an alignment that would be as per the National Highway specifications. According to CMO, the survey will be completed without delay.

This is it!

people.” He, however, said that the BJP was a party of discipline and accountability, adding that the party ought to “grow through our performance.”

Claiming that BJP has “taken strong roots all over Nagaland”, BJP national general secretary congratulated the state BJP on being in the ruling PDA government. He said BJP attaches “great importance” to the party’s “victory” in Nagaland. Madhav expressed confidence that the party’s next target should be to install its own government in Nagaland.

Earlier at the meeting, Ram Madhav launched the official website of the State BJP. Delivering his presidential address at the meeting,

Nagaland BJP president and minister for H&TE, Temjen Imna Along Longkumer, said that 12 BJP legislators being elected to the present NLA was unprecedented, adding that it was the “beginning of a new BJP” in Nagaland.

Encouraging par ty workers, state BJP chief said party was for development and that it was upon the workers to let the lotus bloom in every nook and corner of the state. He also urged the BJP workers to be active at the grassroots level, saying state BJP would try to bridge the gap between rural and urban Nagaland.

Later, he declared that two new “political districts” of Aboi in Mon and Mangkolemba in Mokokchung would be created for better political maneuvering. He also said the state BJP would also institute an ex-servicemen cell. It was also declared that state BJP would hold its executive meeting once every three months, with next meeting scheduled at Noklak.

In his address, Nagaland deputy chief minister Y. Patton, who is also the leader of BJP legislature party, said that BJP was

neither anti-Christian party nor Hindu party, but a political party for all Indians and committed to development.

He reminded that it was former prime minister late Atal Bihari Vajpayee who recognised the uniqueness of Naga history in 2003.

Regarding rail link construction from Dimapur-Zubza, Patton said the contractors have assured the government for early completion of railway line.

He said the central government was ready to sanction funds for construction of Express Highways and railway from Thelma, Peren district to Tizit, Mon district provided all the affected districts provide NOC. In this regard, he appealed to all the affected districts to provide NOC and receive the better development. Organizing secretary north east in-charge, Ajay Jamwal and Nagaland minister P Paiwang Konyak also addressed the meeting.

The meeting was attended by delegates from all the 12 districts of Nagaland, state BJP central leaders, state BJP legislators and other BJP functionaries.

The meeting also adopted a seven-point resolution.

CM inaugurates 5-day children’s film fest Correspondent

KOHIMA, OCT 9 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio said films and theatre could be used as tools to influence and shape a society as they played a formative role in drawing attention to important issues, besides moulding public opinion. He said this while addressing a gathering during the launch of Nagaland Children’s Film Festival at RCEMPA auditorium, Jotsoma here on Tuesday.

Rio also launched children’s Nagamese movie “Nani Teri Morni”, a film based on Mhonbeni Ezung (Lotha), who was the youngest (9 years) recipient of National Bravery Award for Children in 2015 for saving her grandmother from drowning and triumphing over her fear, on the occasion. The 42nd-minute film has been written and directed by Akashaditya Lama, produced by Children’s Film Society, India (CFSI) and its line producers are Ankita Tiwari and Rebecca Changkija Sema.

Rio complimented CFSI for its initiative as such film festivals gave the student community an exposure to meaningful films

on a large screen as also the art form of cinematography, besides helping them to get inspired by the stories. He termed launching of the first Nagamese film shot in Nagaland and based on the inspiring story of Mhonbeni Ezung as “momentous”.

He congratulated artistes and entire crew of the film for having taken the initiative of producing the film and expressed his confidence that this was just the beginning as it could catapult the film industry in Nagaland to the national level. Encouraging producing films, Rio said cinema was a medium to express one’s voice and ideas and encouraged children to think outside the box by challenging them to develop

unique ideas and concepts.

He remarked that Nagaland was known for its beautiful landscape, natural beauty and unique culture and traditions with every tribe having distinct songs, music and dances.

He said history of Nagaland ranging from its legendary head hunters, to the stories of World War II and the struggle for Naga identity and stories of insurgency and peace were all subjects on which many researchers had worked and could be subjects for writing books and making films. He added that films told stories of not only about individuals, but also of an entire region, its culture or race to rest of the world.

Alliance with other pol. parties will Dr. Shürho terms NDPP TASU serves ultimatum over NH-702 works be worked out for stability: Zeliang allegation baseless Correspondent

Correspondent

KOHIMA, OCT 9 (NPN): NPF Legislature Party leader, T.R. Zeliang Tuesday maintained that the alliance with other political parties would be worked out for providing political stability and bringing development, and not to simply form a government.

In a House of 60, Zeliang said unfortunately one member passed away and now there were 59 legislators. And, if NPF could have four more MLAs, he said the party could stake claim to form the government. He, however, added that the party was in no hurry yet as it would not bring sustainable development. Addressing NPF Central Executive Council (CEC) meeting at the party’s central office here on Tuesday, he

quipped, “Being the largest party, NPF can stake claim constitutionally to form the government.”

Zeliang alleged that political adversaries were insecure and thus trying to create a rift between him and NPF president.

He assured party leaders that he would never take any decision on any important political issue alone, without consulting the party as he could not bear the entire responsibilities alone.

Informing them that NPF legislators had on July 27 given him full authority to find out ways to form a collation government, Zeliang said he and Liezietsu would work hand in hand on this, adding that consultations would be held before taking any decisions.

Cautioning NPF

MLAs to remain careful, he said their political adversaries were playing a game by claiming to have six or seven party MLAs. He said the kind of offer made to NPF MLAs and how they spurned them were all out in open. Zeliang further questioned why the Central government had not released the first instalment for MGNREGA to the State.

He explained that unless utilisation certificates were submitted on time, funds would not be released on time and said Nagaland was the only State not to have received the first instalment.

On the State government properties within and outside Nagaland, Zeliang said these were given on rent at throw away prices and cited the instance of Nagaland House in Kolkata.

KOHIMA, OCT 9 (NPN): NPF president Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu has termed the NDPP’s allegation of his illtreatment at the hands of his party men as “baseless”.

Addressing NPF Central Executive Council (CEC) meeting at the party’s central office here on Tuesday, Liezietsu remarked that NDPP-BJP combine was only “manufacturing wild rumours” by forgetting their obligations, commitments and responsibilities made to the people, thereby exposing their true colour and indicated that they were not comfortable.

Being a strong opposition in Nagaland Legislative Assembly (NLA), he said NPF had nothing to worry about and nor was it in a hurry to overthrow the government, though he urged party men to remain alert to rumours being spread (Cont’d on p-5) by their political adversaries.

Won’t tolerate disrespect to speaker: NDPP DIMAPUR, OCT 9 (NPN): Expressing astonishment at NPF’s charges against Nagaland Legislative Assembly (NLA) speaker Vikho-o Yhoshü that appeared in local dailies on October 7, NDPP asserted that it would not tolerate such disrespect to an office that was revered by everyone and was also the face of the State.

In a press release issued by its media & communication committee, the ruling party condemned the NPF Legislature Party’s statement and called on all right-thinking citizens of the State to decry such “callous and immature” statements made by the opposition legislators.

NDPP expressed surprise that the opposition party’s decision to take “sacred” matters of the House to public domain, especially when a delegation of NLA was preparing to participate in the Commonwealth Parliamentary Meet. It accused NPF of not respecting the sanctity of the House and restoring to an “un-parliamentary”

conduct.

It was unfortunate that a party like NPF had stooped so low in its desperate attempt to attack the PDA government.

Perhaps it was bereft of issues and so was resorting to personalised attacks and resorting to punch below the belt just to grab public attention, the release added.

According to the ruling party, NPF and its legislative wing should be the last to question the actions of the speaker considering the fact how it managed and manipulated the 12th NLA by using the office of the then speaker of the House to its advantage.

Referring to an opposition-less Assembly during TR Zeliang’s tenure, NDPP said NPF should not be proud of it or consider it as an achievement because no democraticallyelected government could function impartially and provide good governance without an opposition to maintain checks and balances. The ruling party

alleged that the then leader of House in collusion with NPF president had disallowed its legislators from raising questions of public importance on the floor of the House, thereby implicating the office of the speaker.

Citing an instance of how democracy flourished during the 12th NLA, the ruling party said one NPF legislator was made to raise a particular issue aimed at tarnishing image of another MLA, who also belonged to the Treasury Bench, during zero hour at the instance of Zeliang in one of the Assembly sessions. The legislator, who was attacked, ultimately had to walk out of the House in protest as the then speaker refused to allow him to speak in his defence.

The ruling party also accused then chief minister of making a mockery of not allowing members of the House to speak on issues they felt were for the benefit of people.

He reminded party’s legislators of the early days when NPF was suppressed by those in power in New Delhi for selfinterest by branding it as “legal wing of illegal organisation’ The NPF president expressed joy that things had taken shape in right perspective in due course of time giving the party a strong foundation and acknowledged the performances of party MLAs during the last Assembly session.

He said the performance was an indication of moving together as a family, appreciating and supporting one another, adding the bureaucrats were also impressed by the role played by “our legislators” for bringing back the real spirit of democracy.

Recalling the time when he was chairman of DAN Co-ordination Committee for 15 years, Liezietsu claimed he had given due recognition to all, even to

NCD to monitor road works in Dimapur

DIMAPUR, OCT 9 (NPN): Naga Council Dimapur (NCD) has appealed to the PWD (R&B) to ensure quality work in the proposed improvement of Dimapur city roads, saying it would also closely monitor the execution of works.

In a letter addressed to the chief engineer PWD(R&B), the NCD president, T Bangerloba, reminded the department to consider good quality workmanship, good quality material and work execution within a limited time while allotting/ distributing the work.

NCD also urged the department to allot work to the reputed and experienced contractors capable enough to execute (Cont’d on p-5) the proposed work.

DIMAPUR, OCT 9 (NPN): Tizit Area Students’ Union (TASU) has served a 20-day ultimatum on the responsible department and the contractor to resume construction works along Namtola-Mon section of NH-702.

In a press release, TASU president, T Noklem Konyak, and general secretar, Phoanei Konyak, cautioned that failure to deliver within the stipulated time would compel the union to resort to complete blockade of NH-702 and the department and the contractors would be held responsible if any untoward incidents occurred. They said the decision to serve ultimatum was taken after thorough deliberation at its executive meeting.

The signatories laminated that despite release of sanction for the work order last year, the construction of the road remained slow. They said soiling was yet to complete in spite of several appeals to the department concern and the contractor.

Further, TASU pointed out the Inter State Connectivity (ISC) road from Tizit town Khonsa (Arunachal Pradesh) via Yanpan-Sakho-LoakkunNokzang has been completely neglected. In this regard, TASU said it met the contractor and the responsible authorities of the department and asked to resume the construction of road. Beside, TASU said it had also demanded constructing four RCC TBeam Brigdes on the said road. However, the union (Cont’d on p-5) said the works have not materialised till date.

ACAUT responds to PWD (R&B) DIMAPUR, OCT 9 (NPN): A day after executive engineer (EE) of PWD(R&B) Phek division reacted to its allegations of corruption in the PokhungriAvankhug road project, ACAUT Nagaland through its media cell Tuesday maintained that it “dutifully reported” as per the RTI it had received from PWD (R&B).

ACAUT said it files RTI after receiving complaints and concerns in matters of public importance.

Reacting to EE’s assertion that allegations by ACAUT Nagaland was “technically without substance and uncalled for”, ACAUT asked the EE to explain how was unforeseen working condition reported for the second time when earlier contractor M/s Nagaland builders had also surrendered work order because it was ill-equipped to handle the unforeseen working conditions.

ACAUT said that citing the same reason the second time was simply not acceptable and puts a huge question on competency of the engineers and contractors, who were part of the project, and the efficiency of PWD(R&B) to handle projects.

Conceding hypothetically that ear-

lier DPR by M/s Nagaland Builders was done without taking into consideration the un-anticipated rocks and the difficult terrain, ACAUT, however, asked whether the second revised DPR of Rs 2339 lakh was also made not taking into consideration the un-anticipated rocks and difficult terrain?

As per the RTI reply, ACAUT said the total length of the road is 18.49 km.

However, ACAUT said the revelation

by EE that the firm has constructed over 24km to connect ITC Avakhung raises many questions.

ACAUT said the contractor should have first concentrated the work project assigned to him and not deviate from the specified project. As such, ACAUT said the road project remained incomplete after almost six years past its completion date. “Who should be held accountable for this?” ACAUT asked.

ACAUT stated that out of five approved border trade centers, Avankhug was one such strategically located prime trade centre, not only between the two countries, but ASEAN countries. Therefore, ACAUT said the road project was of prime importance for the region and “a race against time to go in tandem with the Act East policy.”

DIMAPUR, OCT 8 (NPN): In a bid to rebuild its image that has been dented in the past and strengthen the trust of consumers, the Petroleum Dealers Association Dimapur (PDAD), for the first time in the state, organized an awareness campaign on quantity and quality demonstration of fuel at Lifeline Enterprise in Third Mile on Tuesday.

Speaking as special guest on the occasion, deputy commissioner of Dimapur, Sushil Kumar Patel reminded petroleum dealers that alert consumers have identified fuel stations that are trustworthy and even dubious ones. Referring to the fuel adulteration issue that made headlines around two years ago, he cautioned dealers that while it was difficult to earn the trust of consumers , it can breached easily too.

The deputy commissioner also urged dealers to conduct regular checks in front of customers and build a good reputation through “word of mouth”, which he termed the “best advertisement.” He also lauded PDAD for organizing the demonstrations and called it a “good move.”

The chief highlights of the programme were

demonstrations by assistant controller, legal metrology and consumer protection, Limatoshi Jamir; and state level coordinator, Indian Oil Corporation, N Kashung, on quantity and quality checks respectively.

In his demonstration on quantity check, Limatoshi Jamir said that it starts from the laboratory with the help of a scientifically designed cylindrical measurement device made of alloys called “working standard capacity measure”. The device has the same length and diameter can contain 5 litres of petrol or diesel. Apart from this device, most petrol pumps have a regular 5 litre can/container for measurement. The volume of fuel in the regular container can then be compared with the working standing capacity measure device to check for irregularities.

Limatoshi Jamir advised that any discrepancy must be reported to the department; however there can be a permissible limit of 25 ml difference in volume due to various physical factors. He also informed those present that while an inspector will conduct verification once, inspection can be carried out anytime.

N Kashung from IOC later practically demonstrated on conducting qual-

The other method to gauge the quality of fuel is by measuring its density with the help of a special density kit which primarily consists of tubes to contain petrol or diesel and a hydrometer.

He said the difference in density mentioned in the invoice from the source with the density at the depot will indicate if the fuel is adulterated. Also, keeping in mind how density is impacted by temperature, he said that a 3

Shillong, Oct 9: Meghalaya government on Tuesday announced that it has postponed the launch of Megha Health Insurance Scheme Phase 4 (MHIS-4) from October to third week of December.

“We have decided to postponed the launching of the MHIS-4 since state government have decided to float a new tender again because the rate of premium quoted by the lowest bidder, Bajaj Alliance was too high and more than double of the previous rate quoted for MHIS phase-III at Rs 911,” Meghalaya’s Health Secretary, Pravin Bakshi said.

He said the delay for the launch of the scheme was also because the state government is working to converge the state health insurance scheme with Ayushman Bharat –Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana.

Out of eight firms participated in the tendering process, Bakshi said five qualified but even the rate of premium quoted by the lowest bidder was too high

at Rs 1,999 per household per year. The implementation of MHIS phase-III by the Meghalaya government ended on June 30, but the scheme was extended upto September 25.

Bakshi said that the premium at Rs 1999 would cost the government Rs 117 crore annually whereas the Centre has fixed the base premium should be Rs 1,050 per family per year with a budget of around Rs 65 crore yearly.

In the new tender, the cost of certain packages under the scheme can be brought down, said Bakshi.

“Delays are being faced in the preparations, as technical convergence is being planned at the registration stage and the hospital level along with the National Health Agency and Ministry of Health and Family Welfare,” Bakshi said.

The MHIS phase IV will converge with Ayushman Bharat to provide a health insurance of Rs 5 lakh per family with an increased number of treatment/disease to be made available to the public.

Zika cases rise to 29 in Rajasthan

New Delhi/Jaipur, Oct 9 (PTI): The Health Ministry Tuesday appealed to people not to panic and assured them that the Zika outbreak was under control, after 29 people were tested positive for the disease in Rajasthan’s Jaipur.

Rajasthan’s Additional Chief Secretary (Health) Veenu Gupta told reporters in Jaipur that 29 people, including three pregnant women, have so far been tested positive for Zika virus in the city and efforts are on to contain the spread of the virus.

“Zika cases have been detected due to our strong surveillance systems. Our surveillance is very robust and all such cases get detected. We have standard protocols, and in collaboration with the WHO, we follow them to see whether it is an isolated case or a collective case.

“The ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research), National Centre for Disease Control and DGHS (Directorate General of Health Services) are monitoring the current situation continuously. I want to assure citizens of India that everything is under control and there is no need to panic,” Union

Veenu Gupta (file) Health Minister J P Nadda said. Gupta said said several Health Department teams conducted household surveys in the affected Shastri Nagar area. Authorities carried out fogging, besides taking up other measures for the vector control.

The state officials said blood samples of 450 people, including 168 pregnant women, were taken for test, and 29 of them were tested positive for Zika virus.

As a precautionary measure, the state health department has directed medical colleges and chief medical and health officers to take necessary steps by making micro plans as per the guidelines of the Union Health Ministry to curb Zika virus spread, Gupta said.

The Prime Minister’s

Office (PMO) on Monday sought a comprehensive report from the Health Ministry on the outbreak of Zika virus.

A seven-member high-level central team is in Jaipur to assist the state government in control and containment measures and a control room has been activated at the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) to undertake regular monitoring of the situation, according to the ministry.

As one of those affected in Jaipur hailed from Bihar and visited his Siwan home recently, the eastern state has issued advisories to all its 38 districts to keep a close watch on people showing symptoms similar to Zika virus infection.

The state government

has been supplied with information, education and communication (IEC) material prepared to create awareness about Zika virus and its prevention strategies, the ministry said.

The number of monitoring team has been increased from 50 to 170 and a special isolation ward has been created at Hira Bagh Training Centre, according to a state government release.

Symptoms of mosquito-borne Zika virus disease are similar to other viral infections such as dengue, and include fever, skin rashes, conjunctivitis, muscle and joint pain, malaise, and headache.

In India, the first outbreak was reported in Ahmedabad in January and February 2017 and second outbreak in July, 2017 from Krishnagiri District in Tamil Nadu. Both these outbreaks were successfully contained through intensive surveillance and vector management, the ministry said.

The disease continues to be on surveillance radars of the Union Health Ministry although it is no longer a Public Health Emergency of International Concern under WHO notification since November 18, 2016.

Nine dead, 14 hurt in blast at SAIL’s Bhilai plant in Chhattisgarh

Won’t tolerate disrespect to speaker: NDPP (From p-1) Further, refuting the NPF’s charge that Yhoshü did not give enough time during question hour in the last NLA session in September, NDPP reminded NPF Legislature Party of the “historic” 15minutes sitting of the House in 2016 wherein no order of business was conducted, other than the speaker calling the House to order and then immediately adjourned it sine die.

And after making such a mockery of the Assembly and without even once considering the financial implication of organising one session of the House then, NPF today was attacking the speaker, it added. Charging the opposition legislators of forgetting the reverence for the office of the speaker by trying to defame it along with the Assembly officials, NDPP explained that it was the prerogative of the speaker to decide the business of the Assembly, and not members of either the Treasury or Opposition benches.

NPF Legislature Party should first look back how they it had made a mockery of the speaker’s post while it was at the helm of affairs just a few months back before pointing fingers at Yhoshü, the ruling party added.

Raipur, Oct 9 (AGENCIES): Nine employees were killed and 14 others injured Tuesday in a blast at the Bhilai steel plant of state-owned SAIL in Chhattisgarh’s Durg district, police said.

He said though BJP walked away from the DAN “in search of greener pasture”, NPF remained sincere to its commitment with all its partners – BJP, JD (U) and NCP. Clarifying that NPF had no

regret nor any ill-feeling against anyone, Liezietsu said similar relationship would be maintained with all political parties without compromising on the party’s stand to serve real interest of the people.

Mentioning that NPF was anticipating taking over the reins of government sooner than later, he said the party was going ahead in reorganising and making necessary adjustments in its overall functioning at all levels.

Make social service mandatory for students, says Venkaiah Naidu Bengaluru, Oct 9 (IANS): Urging teachers to teach students moral values and ethics, Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu on Tuesday advised educational institutions to make social service mandatory for their wards.

“Make social service or service to armed forces or voluntary organisations like National Service Scheme (NSS) and Scouts & Guides mandatory for conferring degrees,” said Naidu at a function here. Addressing the valedictory function of the V.P. Deenadayalu Naidu’s centenary celebrations here, Naidu said social services would help students inculcate the spirit of oneness, nationalism and social consciousness. “Students should draw inspiration from a visionary leader and a nationalist like Deenadayalu,” he said.

The Vice President said moral science should be included in the school syllabus. Born and brought up in Bengaluru, Deenadayalu (1917-98) was the National Commissioner of the Bharat

Scouts & Guides from 1992-95 and was elected the Bengaluru Mayor in 1955.

As a student leader during the freedom movement, Deenadayalu was imprisoned thrice by the British. Concerned over the declining values in public life, the Vice President stressed the need to elect representatives with calibre, capacity and conduct.

“We need committed leaders to fight social evils like poverty, illiteracy, violence and others. They must be responsive to the sufferings of the people and ensure the benefits of government schemes reach the poor, said Naidu. The National Adventure Institute of the Bharat Scouts and Guides at Pachmarhi in Madhya Pradesh was set up during Deenadaylu’s tenure.

Karnataka Governor Vajubhai R. Vala, State Cooperation Minister Bandeppa Kasampur and officials, members and 100 Bharat Scouts and Guides were present on the occasion.

(From p-1) According to the former chief minister, the Nagaland House in Kolkata could fetch Rs 2.20 crore per month, but the State government was receiving only Rs 5 lakh per month.

Alleging that even the government properties in Nagaland were given out on cheap rents, he pointed out that Millennium Hotel (erstwhile tourist lodge) was given at a monthly rent of Rs 15,000 to Abu Metha, while the DC bungalow too was given on rent at very low rate.

He said the government did not fear anybody but their own shadows, even as he appealed to party men to have confidence on their president and not to lose hope.

He thanked legislators and party workers for their support during the recent Assembly polls.

Meanwhile, addressing the meeting, NPF chief whip Yitachu said the PDA alliance was insecure as the coalition was not issue-based and principled. And fearing to sit in opposition bench, they accused others and manufactured lies, he added.

Yitachu said even if NPF strength got reduced by one, making it 33, party legislators still need not feel insecure as there were pending cases in Election Commission of India (ECI) on de-recognition of NDPP, while a

case against NDPP Namri Nchang made the ruling party feel uncomfortable.

According to the NPF’s chief whip, though NDPP sought four weeks for filing counter-reply to ECI on de-recognition, it failed to do so and now the petitioner had on October 6 urged the commission to list the petition for hearing on “any day”.

Pointing out that Zeliang had filed a case against NDPP MLA Namri Nchang, he said Namri had failed to appear on two hearings and presented himself only during the third hearing and sought three-month time. But, after the three months had elapsed, Namri again sought another three months, he added. Yitachu said both the matters were nearing logical conclusion and that PDA’s sense of insecurity had only increased as it feared de-recognition by ECI. And, if it lost the case, not only would it be disqualified, even Independent MLA would not be spared, he asserted.

He underlined that even though NPF had 26 members, the party was in no hurry to form the government.

Yitachu said even if NDPP accused its alliance partners of meeting NPF, it too was in touch with the party and trying to stitch an alliance, adding that things would be clear very soon.

Also speaking on the occasion, NPF legislator Vikheho Swu

said during the four-year rule of Zeliang as chief minister, many unnecessary issues were deliberately raised. But even after being the largest opposition party, NPF did not disturb the PDA government, he pointed out. Swu appealed

ECI under scanner

W

hen political fortunes are at stake, the fight or spat gets meaner and even dirtier and as the constitutional body that is wholly responsible for scheduling, announcing, enforcing and conducting elections, the Election Commission of India has often been at the centre of storms. The latest missile at the ECI came from the Congress which seriously questioned the motive behind the rescheduling of the EC press conference on October 6 from the original time of 12.30 p.m. to 3 p.m. This led the Congress to raise questions on the independence of the Election Commission for abruptly rescheduling the time of the press conference that was meant to announce dates for assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Telangana and Mizoram. The Congress blamed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for applying pressure on the ECI to delay poll date announcement.

According to the Congress, the obvious reason was to provide the crucial time to both Prime Minister and Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje to offer “political bribe” to the voters in the state. Whether Modi had pressurized the ECI cannot be confirmed but what is a fact is that the EC had rescheduled the press conference from 12.30 pm to 3 p.m. Just before the 3 p.m. schedule, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a rally in Ajmer. In that rally the Rajasthan chief minister Vasundhara Raje announced poll sops for the farmers. The rally in Ajmer was important for the BJP which hold seven out of the eight assembly seats but in the recent Lok Sabha bypoll, the Congress wrested the seat by defeating from BJP’s Ramswaroop Lamba who is the son of former Ajmer lawmaker Sanwar Lal Jat. The model code of conduct comes into effect the moment the Election Commission of India announces the poll dates, barring the government from announcing any new scheme or project. Meanwhile, Chief Election Commissioner O.P. Rawat rubbished the allegation saying the all politicians were “political creatures” who see politics in everything. It may also be recalled that in the assembly elections early February this year, the ECI under then CEC A.K. Joti, had delayed announcement of poll dates in October for Gujarat while announcing the schedules for the other states. This had raised howls of protests from the opposition because it gave the Prime Minister Narendra Modi amply opportunity to announce sops to the state.

On the other hand, records also show that the EC exempted all flood relief work in J&K from Model Code and didn’t delay polls. Former Chief Election Commissioner S.Y. Quraishi had said Joti’s decision to not announce the dates for Gujarat Assembly polls even as it announced the dates for Himachal Pradesh elections, created a “ground of suspicion.” It is a matter of deep concern that politicians have often made targeted the ECI in their fights since this only damage the credibility of the institution. It is mainly to the credit of several past CECs that the ECI has managed to keep its image free from controversies. However, when indeed controversial decisions are alleged, the ECI should be open to scrutiny. In the case with rescheduling of the press conference for Rajasthan polls on October 6, the ECI owes an explanation to the people of the country and if, at all, the decision was not under pressure, it should nullify the sops announced by the chief minister during the Ajmer rally that day.

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 do things, but to believe 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?”

Noise pollution (regulation and control) rules, 2000 P

T

he rapid urbanization and changing lifestyles have given rise to increasing ambient noise levels from various sources such as music systems, loud speakers/public address systems, generator sets, industrial activities, fire crackers and noise from vehicles which have deleterious effects on human health and the psychological well being of the people. People are unable to even sleep due to the noise produced by loud use of loud speakers/public address system, music system, bursting of firecrackers, etc.

The unpredictable, intermittent and impulsive noise produced by use of loud speakers/ public address system, any sound producing instrument or musical instrument or a sound amplifier, bursting of firecrackers and unnecessary honking of horns turns into disharmony of noise. At times, what is music for some can be noise for others.

In order to curb the growing problem of noise pollution, the Government of India has enacted the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules 2000 framed under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 which provides the regulation for noise.

RESTRICTION ON THE USE OF LOUD SPEAKERS/ PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEM/ ANY SOUND PRODUCING INSTRUMENT OR MUSICAL INSTRUMENT OR A SOUND AMPLIFIER: 1. A loud speaker or a public address system shall not be used except after obtaining written permission from the Deputy Commissioner.

2. A loud speaker or a public address system or any sound producing instrument or musical instrument or a sound amplifier shall not be used at night (between 10.00 pm to 6.00 am) except in closed premises for communication within e.g. auditoria, conference rooms, community halls and banquet halls or during a public emergency.

3. Not withstanding anything contained in Sub-rule (2).

The State Government may subject to such terms and conditions as are necessary to reduce noise pollution permit use of loud speakers or public address systems during night hours (between 10.00 p.m. to 12.00 midnight) on or during any cultural or religious festive occasion of a limited duration not exceeding fifteen days in all during a calendar year.

2. The authority shall act on the complaint and take action against the violator in accordance with the provisions of these rules and any other law in force.

IMPLEMENTING AUTHORITY: Under Section 2 (i) (c) of the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000 the Government of Nagaland vide notification no For/Gen-46/95 (Pt-VI) dated 27th April 2009 designated the Deputy Commissioners of all the Districts to be the ‘Authority’ for maintenance of the Ambient Air Quality standards in respect of noise.

STANDARDS IN RESPECT OF NOISE FOR DIFFERENT AREAS/ZONES: Under the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000 the Ambient Air Quality standards in respect of noise for different areas/zones is given below:Limits in dB (A) Log Area Category of Day Time Night Time Code Area/Zone (6a.m. to 10 p.m.)

(10 p.m. to 6 a.m.)

Temporary impairment is a temporary loss of hearing acuity experienced after a relatively short exposure to excessive noise. Permanent impairment is an irreversible loss of hearing that is caused by prolonged noise exposure. (b) Sleep Disturbance: The primary effects of sleep disturbance are difficulty in falling asleep, awakenings and alteration interfering of sleep stages or depth, increase blood pressure, heart rate, etc. The secondary effects are reduced perceived sleep quality, increased fatigue, depressed mood or well being and decreased performance. (c) Annoyance: Noise annoyance may be defined as a feeling of displeasure evoked by noise and is basically a psychological response. The consequences are often ill temper, bickering and even enmity. (d) Physiological Functions: A number of physiological disorders result by interference of biological functioning of the body as a consequence of over exposure to noise. They are neurosis, anxiety, insomnia, hypertension, giddiness and nausea, fatigue and increase in sweating. Chronic noise may lead to abortions and congenital defects in children too. Startling sound can quicken human fetus’s heart rate and cause its muscle to contract. Malformation in the fetus’s nervous system may also be caused.

A big heart

eople head home to celebrate Durga Puja in the eastern part of India. The festivals have also drawn tourists to visit new places for pleasure. Indian railways take opportunity to run special train in a bid to clear extra rush of passengers. I along with my family journeyed towards a hill station in the last Puja vacation. We impeded by night bound train at Guwahati on Dussehra. Train journey is less stressful than travelling by car. All passengers went to that sleepy train as soon as they boarded the train.

And that rocking motion lulled us to sleep.

It was not the most comfortable place to sleep. After an overnight journey, we felt tired and a little uneasy. It was incessant raining at NJP. The transporters were no friendly towards tourists and they gave us an indifferent shrug. A large number of travellers gathered outside. It seemed that the railway station has little concern for those stranded passenger. We got sweat it out and we had to wait bag and baggage outside the platform for a taxi but looking dejected. We kept cool our heels. To brew a perfect cup of tea in the morning is always my preferred choice. And we went for Darjeeling tea at a roadside cafe.

After hanged around an hour, God finally listened to our prayer and thou sent a messenger. I could notice a taxi tagged with SK registration at parking stand while waiting to be hired. It had very instantly demand three thousand rupees. I had no option left for another haggle. It was still raining and we drove through sleepy Darjeeling city in the wee hours of the day.

Our driver was not just steering on wheel; he made a point of befriending us to his cab. He informed everything we saw along the road.

He was like the wind that drives us onshore. Teesta is with us throughout the journey. The river divided the two states West Bengal and Sikkim.

We reached Rangpo, the gateway to Sikkim on NH 10 that links Siliguri to Gangtok. We saw a smart Sikkim Police signalling a large number of tourist vehicles in a queue. You are entering in a caution zone now. He had foresighted himself from the rule of the law at Sikkim and ran to check post and returned to car within half a minute. He even expressed regret for that document verification.

Localities are familiar with

and at ease in the journey and its cultures. He set out to mention that Travelling and Vegan food are unique and might work while on road. Macros reminded us the first tips on a journey. We went to a vegrestaurant at the strip of land beside the highway that was well cooked and served us nicely.

Teesta and Rangeet is the lifeline for Sikkim. Rivers are the livelihood for the indigenous community. The economy of the entire state depends on its land and rivers. I saw him paying respect to rivers, falls and dams like a God. The hydro electricity scheme 1913 took place long before Sikkim accession to India in 1975.

They are indeed a question of their survival and identity. He proudly said those power lines in the hills belong to Sikkim. They are the assets and government earns huge revenue directly as well as indirectly.

He spoke with convincing honesty about their lives. I could not believe his quality of being honest and having strong moral principles.

He took us hotels to find a perfect accommodation for us. From dusk to dawn, I felt enjoying a complete tour from him. Like a family member, he went with us to every sightseeing spot. We even got the Nathula mountain pass under his initiative.

Since parking is strictly prohibited in Gangtok, he dropped us in the evening for flocking around MG Road. Also he reminded to keep at least one meal reserve for native cuisine for a plateful of traditional Sikkimese meal such as pork curry and maachoo. They were surprisingly yummy. People usually avoid sharing thoughts to like those people who selflessly prove assistance, information on from cultural to historical and contemporary heritage.

The journey through winding road, rugged terrain and sharp cliffs did not end there. He made merrymaking at the mountain. My brother in law visited the city after a few months. And from my one call, he (cab driver) waited at NJP to receive him. He is none other than Mr Marcos, the cab driver. The common man has small pockets but a big heart.

He has compassion, kindness and genuine care to tourists. He might have not learned those things from a University but those traits are inborn to every Sikkimese and I believe, they will always carry it on.

Observation on multi-media campaign on HIV & AIDS (NSACS) and role of media (From previous issue) Commenting on the recent campaigns on HIV and AIDS through music and sports in Nagaland since the year 2009, the respondents stated that people do not learn about HIV from such campaign programmes, instead it becomes a platform for young girls and boys to freely mingle and spread HIV. “Those campaign programmes on HIV and AIDS in the name of music and sports are just entertainment programs for young people.

I just don’t understand the message on how a music contest in the name of generating HIV awareness really works. Those songs that they perform are too loud and we don’t even understand what they are singing. In my opinion, such atmosphere creates open spaces for young people to mingle freely and in the process spread the virus also,” commented one of the participants in the Focus Group Discussion.

Commenting on the role of media, the respondents believed that media could change the way people look at HIV infected people and understand their plight and problems. Many respondents felt that media should be sensitive towards the issues of people living with HIV and also educate themselves on the basics of HIV & AIDS media reporting, so that misunderstandings do not arise.

“Media should highlight the positive message of people living with HIV and quality life for the people living with HIV. If only media spread awareness about HIV, people will go to ART centres for availing treatment and speak out openly about HIV without fear of violence and discrimination”.

Though modern mass media has been successful in reaching the remotest

corner of the world, it has however failed to reach the economically poor and the illiterate. Print media can only be accessible to the literate and electronic media is viable only to well connected places and homes where there is electricity. While some participants were of the view that mass media has created awareness on HIV & AIDS in Nagaland, many voiced their concern that mass media has failed in reaching the remotest corner of the state.

“I for one do not agree that mass media has been successful in reaching the unreached in our state.

Most of the people in the rural village are illiterate and they do not have access to newspapers or television.

Though they can’t read but they can watch the television programs, which they don’t even understand. Language is an important factor, which stands as a barrier for the villagers to understand the message.If they don‟t understand the message, how will they understand and change their behaviours. Its hard. Something has to be designed where the awareness messages are designed keeping the rural people in mind. They design all those communication strategies in Delhi and bring it here and it does not go well with the people. Our culture and ethos are completely different from the mainland people, so communication strategies should be designed keeping the local perspective in mind”.

Though 13.2 percent of the respondents came to know about the basics of HIV & AIDS from Television (Fig 3.1), majority of them (40.7%) said that besides other sources of information, media awareness campaigns on television was more informative and appealing. A section of the respondents (15.4%) said print media

such as the Newspapers/ Magazines was informative, while 9.6 percent said Radio had HIV informative programmes and 34.3 percent of the respondents mentioned other sources.

Most of the respondents (36.8%) mentioned Nagamese as their preferred language for HIV & AIDS related information in media. While 26.4 percent of the respondents said they preferred the local dialect, 19.6 percent respondents mentioned English followed

by Hindi (17.1) as their most preferred language for HIV awareness programmes on Media. Nagamese is the medium of communication between different tribes of Nagaland, besides 16 tribes in Nagaland speak their own dialects and English is the official language of the state.

Though Nagaland has access to cable and satellite television channels and national newspapers, however, it is yet to see the presence of private television channels or FM Radio stations, managed or run locally in the state. The Public Service Broadcasters – Doordarshan Kendra, Kohima and All India Radio, Kohima are the only electronic media, which produce local programmes in the state. The local media in Nagaland consists of four English dailies and a few newspapers in the local dialects, which have tried to create awareness and have been involved with the State agencies in sensitization programmes on HIV & AIDS. To explore the role of local media; a question was asked regarding the effectiveness of media messages on HIV & AIDS. However, only 10.4% of the respondents said that local media was able to draw their attention to the issues relating HIV & AIDS, 33.6 percent of the respondents disagreed while more than half (56.1 %) of

them were undecided. A large number of the respondents who were unsure regarding media projection of HIV & AIDS because the respondents said that they were not able to talk on the subject or were not in a position to identify with the media messages on HIV & AIDS. The respondents argued that HIV awareness programmes should be more frequently broadcast on television and emphasized the need to develop more programmes and feature writings on the issue. Some of them were of the view that electronic media should telecast HIV awareness programmes on fixed dates and announce the schedule in advance. It was also argued that media should undertake investigative reporting and focus on stories based on real life incidents faced by HIV infected women. The messages need to be designed according to their needs and environment and presented with greater sensitivity.

Since most of the HIV infected women were illiterate and semi-literates; they were unable to fully understand media messages through print and electronic media. Thus, in view of the limitations of the mainstream media, the findings highlighted the need for using alternative media such as community radio and folk media to reach out to the targeted communities in remote, rural areas.

Integrating folk media with Mass media can be an innovative intervention of HIV & AIDS Social and Behavioural Change Communication Strategy.

Television and Radio can be used as a medium for drama and storytelling techniques in creating HIV & AIDS awareness. Radio is also the cheapest means to reach a vast number of audience and also provide

interactive participation by the listeners.“Villagers still love listening to radio. In my village, a large number of the senior citizens still own a radio set. They get all kinds of information from radio.

So if the experts design HIV & AIDS awareness programs and broadcast it through radio, I feel its going to be very effective, cited one of the participant”.

The findings suggested that there was a need for alternative media in Nagaland, whereby media messages on HIV & AIDS could effectively reach the targeted communities. Alternative media, folk media, pamphlets designed using local dialects and community radio can attract maximum participation among unrepresented communities. Alternative media can be used as a successful medium to reach maximum target audience in development programmes. If properly implemented, folk media can achieve its goal in reaching the remotest corner of the state.

Due to its cost effectiveness and interactive participation, Folk media can receive instant response from its audience and listeners.

Taking advantage of the rich folk culture of Nagaland and using it as a medium in Folk media, it can create lasting impact on the rural people.

Folk art and culture is a part of the rural people and integrating it with modern mass media would further boost the implementation process of HIV & AIDS prevention.

Community participation in designing the content and interpretation would boost the morale and further their interest in creating awareness.On the other hand, community radio for the HIV & AIDS community can also play an important role in reaching the targeted number of people, as rural people still listen to radio programmes.

Appeal to SBI employees

Sir,

State Bank of India (SBI) being a government owned corporation, and an Indian public sector banking and financial services company, most of the employees in Nagaland has double standard of rudeness and attitude.

As a public and SBI account holder, I visit bank for necessary queries pertaining to banking process, so do the rest of the account holders. There are many people who visits bank for a single query all the way from far flung villages in order to take cognizance of their grievances and indispensible information. However, the modus operandi of impolite and vulgar manner of some SBI bank employees towards the needy customers is not so pleasing. In this regard, being educated and person with calibre, it is to be appreciated if the employees could be more polite and assist the customers, who are in need of something they do not know.

DIMAPUR, OCT 9 (NPN): The release of Nagamese movie ‘Nani Teri Morni’, directed by famed Bollywood based director and scriptwriter Akash Aditya Lama, was shrouded in controversy as the entire cast and crew gave the premier show a miss. The film is based around actual events surrounding the story of national bravery award recipient Mhonbeni Ezung and features Naga artistes including Bollywood actor Zhokhoi Chuzho.

Talking to Nagaland Post following the release of the film, Find Studioz founder and line producer of the film Rebecca Changkija Sema said the whole production team was “perplexed” at the treated meted out by commissioner & secretary to chief minister, Abhishek Singh, following which they decided not to attend the release.

She said, “This was the first time in history that a film was released without the director or the cast and crew of the film attending the premier show.” Citing the events prior to the release, Rebecca alleged that when she along with Amenla Jamir had gone to Kohima for a meeting called by commis-

to be shot in their states and finally when everything was completed someone else turns up and hijacks my work and tries to take the credit for it which is so discouraging,” Rebecca cited.

She added that this was one reason why Naga entrepreneurs were facing frustration in their line of work especially while dealing with government officials.

Renowned Naga actor Zhokhoi Chuzho who was part of the cast and also had assisted the director during the shoot said the whole team was “very upset” at the way they were being treated.

“None of us attended the event because we were all very upset,” he added.

In a letter to the government officials, a copy of which was forwarded to the Nagaland Post, director of the film Akash Aditya Lama cited that he was skipping the screening event since, “Things were going in a different direction”.

He said the whole reason for the movie being made in Nagaland was, “To create harmony between people of North Eastern part with rest of India,” which he added, “failed to be fulfilled.”

Meanwhile, Abhishek Singh could not be contacted for his comments.

When the team requested the screening to be done even in Dimapur for the convenience of the cast who were all from the district, Rebecca claimed that Abhishek Singh replied: “Nagas are used to bumpy rides so let them come up to Kohima for the screening.”

“He told us not to question the government, but if we don’t question the government, who else would, who are they working for?”

Rebecca said.

“A day before the event some officials called me up and invited me to the premier which was like inviting me to my own wedding,” she said.

Rebecca went on saying she faces numerous discriminations while working outside the state but never thought she would face the same situation even here in her own state.

She said she was surprised to find out that a proposal for the release of the movie was made to the department of Art and Culture, Nagaland by the same official, which she added, was “unbecoming of a government official.”

“I had worked tooth and nail for the project to be made in Nagaland even when other states offered subsidized rates for the film

event. She hoped that films like “Nani Teri Morni” would inspire other children to emulate the protagonist in the coming days.

The programme was compeered by Neingulie Nakhro, while Harmonic Voice presented opening song.

Hundreds of students from various schools of the State Capital, both private and government, witnessed the films screened at the film festival.

The inaugural programme was also attended by minister Tongpang Ozukum, adviser R. Khing and other government officials. The five-day children’s film festival would conclude on October 13. While films would be screened daily at RCEMPA auditorium till October 11, the screenings would be held at State Academy hall here on October 12 and 13 daily at 10 am, 12 noon and 2pm.

Meanwhile, Pandey, who visited Nagaland for the first time, said on the sideline of the programme that she was moved by the warm hospitality of everyone, including government officials. She said the young non-Naga director of the movie “Nani Teri Morni” fell in love with the beautiful State.

Besides highlighting the courage and bravery of the little girl, she hoped the film would show the beautiful landscape of Nagaland to others, besides motivating Naga children to be proud of their culture and encouraging them to be brave.

Mentioning that Nagaland had lot of scope to produce more children films in future, the CFSI chairperson said nine would be screened at the film

(From p-1) Rio reminded the gathering that films had become the biggest platform for art and entertainment, “more universal and accessible than books and painting”.

He hoped that school students would enjoy the film festival and imbibe the lessons that each movies conveyed. He said, as most districts did not have movie theatres to project films on big screens, it was a good opportunity for all school students to watch quality movies.

The chief minister explained that CFSI organised the film festival having realised the importance of developing positive traits among children by providing them exposure to healthy and educative films.

He said he believed that the films would be a powerful tool through which children could be taught and influenced to become assets to the society.

In her speech, CFSI chairperson Swati Pandey expressed her happiness for being part of the film festival and conveyed her gratitude to the chief minister and the State government for supporting and promoting children’s films in Nagaland.

Stating that “Nani Teri Morni” was her first movie shot entirely in Nagamese, she explained that this movie was about bravery and courage with no discrimination based on caste, creed or sex.

She mentioned that movies were not only meant for entertainment, but could also be used as a medium for motivation. She urged the State government to make the children’s film festival an annual

Mumbai, Oct 9 (PTI): The rupee fell 33 paise Tuesday to finish at a fresh lifetime low of 74.39 against the US dollar on high crude oil prices, strengthening of the greenback and unabated foreign fund outflows.

At the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex), the rupee made a cautious recovery of 18 paise to 73.88 against the US dollar in early trade on fresh selling of the American currency by banks and exporters.

However, the domestic currency failed to sustain the momentum after Brent crude breached the USD 84 per-barrel-mark again and the US dollar strengthened overseas. Falling for the sixth straight sessions, it finally closed at 74.39 against the US dollar, down by 33 paise.

On Monday, the domestic unit plummeted by 30 paise to close at 74.06. Traders said unabated for-

eign fund outflows weighed on the rupee.

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) sold shares worth a net of Rs 1,805 crore Monday, provisional data showed. Investors remained concerned over sustained foreign capital outflows and rise in crude oil price to USD 84.48.

Forex dealers said besides strong demand for the American currency from importers, concerns over rising fiscal deficit and capital outflows weighed on the domestic currency.

“The balance of payments (BoP) turning negative has led to a sharp depreciation in rupee in the past two months. With steep depreciation over the past two months, rupee is now the worst performing currency against the USD in Asia so far this year, down 13.4 per cent,” global brokerage firm Nomura said in a research note.

Traders said rising crude oil prices and higher US bonds yields resulted in weak Indian currency.

“Interest rates are headed higher in the US. The US 10 year bond yields surged to 3.26 per cent. Fears that global investors will withdraw their funds from global markets and park in US treasuries is affecting the global markets. Crude oil prices also rose 1 per cent to USD 84.7,” said V K Sharma, Head PCG & Capital Markets Strategy, HDFC Securities.

Nomura further noted that policy responses to the depreciating currency have been muted thus far and with limited policy response, the concerns on the rupee have risen significantly.

Pak to seek $6-7 billion IMF bailout: FM

Kabul, Oct 9 (AP): An Afghan official says a Taliban assault in northern Jawzjan province has killed 12 members of the security forces and wounded another 10. Gen. Faqir Mohammad Jawzjani, provincial police chief in Jawzjan, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the attack took place in Qush Typa district late on Monday. Jawzjani says the assault was a failed attempt to capture the district. He says 30 Taliban were killed and 19 wounded.

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid says the insurgents are claiming responsibility for the attack. He, however, claimed a higher number of casualties among the Afghan police. The Taliban often exaggerate their claims.

Also on Monday, the Taliban attacked a district in southern Ghazni province, killing three members of the security forces. Police Chief Farid Mashal says five were wounded.

Kim invites Pope to visit N Korea Seoul, Oct 9 (IANS): North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has invited Pope Francis to visit Pyongyang, the South Korean presidential office said on Tuesday.

The invitation was revealed during a press briefing here about South Korean President Moon Jae-in’s upcoming visit to Europe, which includes a trip to the Vatican on October 17 and 18.

“Chairman Kim (Jongun) said he will ‘ardently welcome the Pope if he visits Pyongyang’,” said presidential spokesperson Kim Eui-kyeom, according to Yonhap news agency.

Moon and Kim have met three times this year, with the last meeting taking place in September in Pyongyang. “Moon will deliver this message from the Pyongyang leader when he meets the Pope,” the spokesperson said, adding that the South Korean leader will also seek the Vatican’s support for peace and stability on the Korean peninsula.

The Pope has in the past supported dialogue between the two Koreas and the historic summit between Kim and US President Donald Trump, which took place in Singapore on June 12.

The Pontiff visited South Korea in August 2014.

the IMF will start immediately as Khan approved the decision after consultations.

“It was decided today that we should start negotiations with the IMF for a stabilisation and recovery programme so that we should bring the current difficult economic situation under control,” Umar said in the message.

He said the country is going through a tough time.

Sources said Khan’s government needs at least USD 9 billion to meet the current account deficit.

An assessment by the State Bank of Pakistan and the finance ministry showed that Pakistan needed USD 11.7 billion to service its external debt in the current fiscal year 2018-19.

have plunged below USD 10 billion, it said.

The government has come under criticism from various quarters, including the opposition, for delaying the decision to approach the IMF soon after Khan’s party won the general election on July 25.

The decision will create hardship for Khan as IMF’s tough conditions will surely result in price hike.

Pakistan has availed 12 IMF bailouts since the late 1980s. The last one was in September, 2013 when the IMF approved a USD 6.6 billion loan support to the government’s programme to stabilise its economy and boost growth while expanding its social safety net to protect the poor.

Meanwhile, the Pakistani rupee on Tuesday also suffered massive devaluation after the government’s decision.

The Dawn reported that the interbank rate of the US dollar was at Rs 124 as the market opened, but rose to Rs 138, then dipped slightly to Rs 133.

The open market rate is Rs 134 to Rs 135, according to Zafar Paracha, Secretary, General Exchange Companies Association of Pakistan.

Bangladesh to repatriate 6,000 Rohingya refugees to Myanmar

Jakarta, Oct 9 (IANS): Indonesian authorities on Tuesday raised the death toll to 2,010 from the 7.5magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami that struck Sulawesi island on September 28.

The official number of missing remained 671 while it is feared that 5,000 people could be still buried under the rubble, reports Efe news.

The majority of the victims, 1,601, died in Palu, the provincial capital of Central Sulawesi, the most affected region, National Agency for Disaster Management spokesperson, Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, said during a press conference. The rest of the deaths occurred in Sigi (222), Donggala (171) and Parigi Moutong (15) regencies in Central Sulawesi while one death was registered in Western Sulawesi. Sutopo said that 10,679 people were injured, with 2,549 of them seriously injured, while 82,775 were displaced and have been placed in hundreds of shelters. More than half of the victims have been buried in mass graves while the others were buried by their families.

them to go back to their own country. He admitted that Rohingya problem was affecting cooperation between Bangladesh and Myanmar.

He said that Bangladesh has developed an island in the Bay of Bengal and readied shelter facilities with strong concrete pillars where a majority of Rohingya refugees could be shifted. ‘’Entire world has congratulated our Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for giving shelter to Rohingyas on humanitarian grounds but it is a temporary measure.

Only permanent solution is to send them back. There are concerns in Bangladesh as the number of Rohingyas has overtaken local population in Cox’s Bazaar area where they have been housed temporarily. We have no other long term solution but to repatriate them. Ultimately, we would like to send them back,’’ the Foreign Minister said.

He also pointed to ongoing efforts between Bangladesh-Myanmar to strengthen their cooperation in a number of fields like tourism, development of Buddhist circuit and civil aviation despite the recent Rohingya refugee issue.

Dhaka, Oct 9 (Agencies): The first batch of 6,000 Rohingya refugees would be sent back to Myanmar soon, Bangladesh Foreign Minister Abul Hassan Mahmood Ali said.

As Bangladesh tries to mount pressure on Myanmar to take back Rohingya refugees whose number has swelled to 1.2 million in refugee camps in Cox’s Bazaar district of Bangladesh, diplomatic efforts with the help of India and United Nations are being mounted on Myanmar for return of Rohingyas who have fled Myanmar and taken shelter on Bangladeshi soil. ‘’India has almost completed construction of 250 houses in Rakhine state of

Myanmar and China has promised to build another 1,000 to facilitate the return of Rohingyas. There was a joint meeting held recently in New York between India, Bangladesh and China which was also attended by UN Secretary-General as well as UN’s special envoy to Myanmar. The effort is to make repatriation of Rohingyas possible,’’ he said.

Addressing a delegation of international journalists in Dhaka on Sunday, Mr Ali said that as part of the joint working group mechanism, Myanmar officials have visited the Rakhine state and the only long lasting solution to Rohingya refugee problem was to create conducive conditions for

Nikki Haley quits as US Ambassador to UN Italy not seeking exit from euro or EU: Maio

Washington, Oct 9 (IANS): Nikki Haley, the first American of Indian descent to hold a cabinetlevel position in the US, resigned as Ambassador to the UN on Tuesday and said that despite speculations she was not planning to run for President in 2020.

CNN said that Haley sent her resignation directly to President Donald Trump, who told reporters in the Oval Office that she would be leaving the post at the end of the year after doing “an incredible job”.

Joined by the former South Carolina Governor in the Oval Office, Trump invited her to come back in a different role. “You can have your pick,” he said.

According to reports, the President said that Haley had told him six months ago she wanted to take some time off. She was confirmed as US envoy to the UN in January 2017.

The daughter of Indian immigrants, Haley was a

Nikki Haley

frequent and early critic of Trump during his election campaign while she served as South Carolina Governor.

In December 2017, she said that the women who had accused Trump of sexual assault “should be heard”.

At one point she suggested that Trump’s rhetoric could trigger a world war.

Talking to reporters, Haley said that despite speculation, she was not planning to run for the White House and would be campaigning for Trump, who has already announced his

re-election bid.

Her exit came after she served as the temporary President of the UN Security Council for one month. Haley’s Twitter bio has already removed all references to her role as UN Ambassador.

From the beginning of her tenure, Haley stood out as a fierce advocate of Trump administration’s policies, announcing the US would be “taking names” of countries that did not support US votes, the Washington Post said.

She spoke often of the need for reform within the UN and its peacekeeping forces as well as frequently chastised UN agencies for taking anti-Israel stances.

Haley pushed for Security Council resolutions imposing tougher sanctions on North Korea and chastised members who the administration suspected had been cheating.

Berlin, Oct 9 (IANS/ AKI): Italy wants to remain in the single European currency and the European Union, Industry and Welfare Minister Luigi Di Maio said on Monday amid a standoff with Brussels over the populist government’s plan to flout EU fiscal rules and triple the deficit next year to cut taxes and boost welfare spending.

“The government does not want to leave the euro. It does not want to leave the EU either. We want to stay and to use this historic juncture to change the bloc,” Di Maio told reporters during a visit to Berlin.

Before travelling to Berlin for talks with Economy and Energy Minister Peter Altmaier, Di Maio vowed that the 25 European Parliament elections next year would be an “earthquake”.

During his one-day visit to Berlin, Di Maio will also meet Germany’s Labour and Social Affairs Minister

“We have to find a way to get out of this difficult situation,” Umar said.

Sources in the finance ministry said the government explored all options including asking friendly countries for support as well as seeking donations from overseas Pakistanis before going to the IMF. However, they said the IMF would demand Pakistan reduce its non-development expenses to bring down the budget deficit.

The sources said the world body will also ask Islamabad to expand the tax net in the country, and added that the IMF also wants Pakistan to decrease circular debts and losses in state institutions, the report said. Umar is expected to lead a delegation to attend the annual meeting of the IMF and World Bank in Bali, Indonesia from October 12 to 14, where he will start initial talks for the bailout package.

It may take a few months before the agreement is reached and money starts pouring in from the IMF, the report said.

The IMF assistance should be enough to bridge the deficit gap and support the plummeting foreign exchange reserves which

Islamabad, Oct 9 (PTI): Pakistan has said it would approach the IMF for a bailout package of USD 6 to 7 billion to address the mounting balance of payments crisis faced by the cash-strapped country.

Finance Minister Asad Umar on Monday said Prime Minister Imran Khan has endorsed the decision to seek assistance from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

“After taking into account the current situation and consultation with leading economists, the government has decided to approach the IMF for a bailout programme,” Umar said in a recorded video message.

Pakistan is likely to request the IMF to provide it USD 6 to 7 billion, Geo News reported.

The government took the decision after friendly countries did not bail it out even though Khan himself went to Saudi Arabia with a “begging bowl”, the Express Tribune reported.

Adviser to the Prime Minister on Commerce Razak Dawood, who accompanied the premier, said “it was awful to beg from Saudi Arabia”.

Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame 2019 nominees

(L-R) Thom Yorke, Janet Jackson, Robert Smith, Stevie Nicks and Zach De La Rocha.

T

he nominees for the 2019 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame have been revealed.

To be eligible to enter the hallowed hall, an artist’s first commercial records need to have been released 25 years ago, in 1993.

As a result, first time nominees for the next run include Devo, Roxy Music, Stevie Nicks, Todd Rundgren, John Prine,

and Def Leppard. Returning artists who have been nominated before include Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, Janet Jackson, the Cure, Kraftwerk, MC5, Rufus & Chaka Khan, LL Cool J, and the Zombies.

Kate Bush and Jeff Buckley are among those to have been snubbed.

Fans can vote for who they want to enter here, before the final inductees

are revealed in December.

There will then be a ceremony with performances next year.

Last year saw Nina Simone, The Cars, Bon Jovi, The Moody Blues and Dire Straits all inducted – with Radiohead, Kate Bush and Depeche Mode among those overlooked.

“As a British band, it’s one of those things that it’s very lovely to be nominated, but we don’t quite culturally understand it,” said Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien last year, after revealing that they would not be attending.

“It’s a very American thing. Us Brits are very bad at celebrating ourselves.”

He added: “One of the things I’ve always loved about coming over to America is American bands you can always have

a really good chat with and you could talk. With British bands, there was a lot of hostility.

It’s in our DNA to be a little ambivalent with award ceremonies. We haven’t had great experiences.

I would never want to disrespect anything because obviously some amazing artists have been nominated. But if I’m honest I don’t understand it. It’s just kind of a British person going, ‘Okay, thanks, what does this mean?’”

O’Brien added: “It’s a little bit thin on black artists and hip-hop artists. I’m just speaking as a fan of American music, I would have thought that Dr Dre should have been in there two years ago.

His name should be first on the list way ahead of Radiohead.”

The Team visited ICAR, NEH, Shillong, North East Police Academy, Barapani, ICAR - Central Potato Research Station, Upper Shillong and Cherrapunjee.

Donald Trump and Taylor Swift

Swift as “fantastic” and “terrific”, and had thanked her for taking a picture with him.

Swift’s post has been “liked” more than 1.6m times since she shared it on Sunday, including by model Chrissy Teigen, singer Katy Perry and actress Reese Witherspoon.

However, she has attracted criticism from conservative commentators and Republicans.

“What I used to love about Taylor Swift is she stayed away from politics,” Charlie Kirk, founder of the conservative student organisation Turning Point, told Fox News on

Monday.

Meanwhile, the National Republican Senatorial Committee criticised her “attitude”, and said Swift had “[come] down from her ivory tower to tell hardworking Tennesseans” how to vote.

Swift did not publicly back any candidate in the 2016 election when other stars like Beyonce and Lady Gaga hit the campaign trail on behalf of Hillary Clinton.

In 2012, Swift told Time magazine she didn’t talk about politics “because it might influence other people”.

aylor Swift’s endorsement of two Democrats for the US mid-term elections has sparked a huge response including from President Donald Trump.

Trump has told reporters he likes “Taylor’s music about 25% less now”.

The singer-songwriter, 28, had previously deliberately steered clear of politics but said events in “the past two years” had changed her mind.

Her latest comments were praised by many but also sparked a fierce backlash from Republican supporters.

Swift broke her silence on politics on Sunday, publicly endorsing two Democrats in Tennessee, her home state, in a post on Instagram, where she has 112m followers.

“In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now,” she wrote.

A Buzzfeed News report quotes Vote.org’s Kamari Guthrie, who says the site has seen a “registrations spike specifically since [her] post” in Tennessee, and also a bump in voter registration nationwide.

Swift particularly criticised Republican Senate nominee Marsha Blackburn for her voting record on gender equality.

“Her voting record in Congress appals and terrifies me,” she wrote, citing the politician’s votes against equal pay and domestic violence legislation.

Speaking on Monday, Trump said Blackburn was “doing a very good job” in Swift’s home state.

“She’s a tremendous woman,” he said. “I’m sure Taylor Swift doesn’t know anything about her.”

In previous tweets posted in 2012, the US President had described

very happy that I did it.”

Rock ‘n’ roll’s most famous couple made seven albums together and one son, Sean, before Lennon was shot and killed outside his New York apartment in 1980, aged 40. Prior to Imagine, in 1969 - during the height of the Vietnam War - the couple staged a world famous ‘bed-in’ in an Amsterdam hotel room.
