a third party. Modi said, “The universities will be a selected on the basis of a challenge in which they will be required to prove their mettle. The selection will be based on factors such as history, performance and its roadmap to reach global benchmarks. A third party professional agency will be involved in the selection process.” Even as the PM extolled Bihar’s historically high standing as a land of knowledge, saying the state’s “heritage of knowledge is as old as the flow of the Ganga, on whose banks Patna University stands,” he

gently rejected the demand for central university status to this institution. Replying to a request made by chief minister Nitish Kumar in his speech earlier about giving Patna University the status of Central University, Modi said, “I would like to say something about a demand that was raised here and met with loud cheers by the young crowd attending this ceremony. Issues like grant of central status have become a thing of the past. We are taking a step forward. We will provide an assistance of Rs 10,000 crore to 10 private universities and an equal

number of government ones for a period of five years. All these universities have to do is to demonstrate their potential to become world class,” he said. The Prime Minister also called upon Patna University to seize the opportunity coming its way through the challenge and strive to be among the globally-ranked varsity based on the competition. Modi said, “Patna University should not stay behind (in the challenge).” Urging both private and public institution to shift from the conventional way of teaching, Modi asked them to engage more alumni in the process and adopt innovative methods of learning. Hailing his government’s decision of giving autonomy to Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Modi said, “It is for the first time that the IIMs are out of government control and have been professionally opened up. This is a big opportunity for them and they would make the best use.” Modi, who visited the Patna University for the first time said, “In every state, the top levels of the civil services have people who

MCD denounces fake news report DIMAPUR, OCT 14 (NPN): Muslim Council Dimapur (MCD) has expressed serious concern over news reports published in section of the regional and national media, following a fake post that went viral on social media creating communal tension. In a press note, MCD working president, A. Rahman said that the news was carried out by “Noida based Sudarsan Tv” about the possible attack on Nagas by Rohingya militants. Rahman said “ANI Nagaland is widely believed to be its main source.” According to MCD, the fake news claiming to have quoted the intelligence branch of the Nagaland Police had stated that “20 ISIS members have entered Nagaland and 2000 Muslim volunteers have agreed to take up arms against the Nagas and a local Imam has started collecting funds

for buying arms and suicide bomb attacks, likely to be carried out throughout Nagaland.” MCD said the religious Iddagh Committee Dimapur had already issued a clarification about the non-existent Imam and the allegations, while the police had also denied giving out such statement. While lauding the local media houses of Nagaland for their responsible journalism by not publishing such unverified/fake news, MCD however condemned the irresponsible act of some regional and national media agencies. In this regard, MCD has fervently appealed to those regional/national media houses to rectify their mistake through the same process by which the serious mistake was committed. MCD said that the council would be compelled to initiate legal action if their request was not hon-

oured. Further, MCD has appealed to the law enforcing agencies to trace the antisocial element/s involved in spreading the fake news, creating social disorder and enmity among the citizens and for bringing bad name to the state of Nagaland. MCD has also thanked the citizens of Nagaland for their understanding and also sought the guidance and cooperation of all to streamline the Muslim society of Dimapur to maintain peace and harmony. Meanwhile, highly placed sources in the Police Headquarters informed Nagaland Post that the department had taken serious note the issue and the allegations that the intelligence branch had given out such statement. Sources also informed that an inquiry has been initiated and the Cyber Cell of the PHQ has been tasked to trace the source.

have studied in Patna University. In Delhi, I interact with so many officials, many of whom belong to Bihar. I consider it my honour to visit Patna University and be among the students. I bow to this land of Bihar. This university has nurtured students who have contributed greatly to the nation.” Modi also heaped praise on Nitish Kumar for his “commitment” to Bihar’s development, as the two leaders shared the dais for the first time after the JD(U) returned to the NDA fold following a split from the grand alliance. “Nitishji is committed to the development of Bihar and the central government has pledged to develop the country. Together the two will work to ensure that Bihar is counted among the prosperous states by 2022 when the country celebrates 75 years of independence,” Modi said. He went on to add that Bihar has been blessed by Saraswati, the Goddess of learning. “But the time has come to propitiate Laxmi (Goddess of wealth and prosperity) as well and take the state to new heights of development,” he said.

I tanaga r / N e w Delhi, Oct 14 (IANS): Newly appointed Arunachal Pradesh governor BD Mishra on Friday called for a composite package for infrastructure development along the international border in the north-eastern state, official sources said. Mishra, a retired Brigadier of the Indian Army, was addressing the 48th governors conference at the Rashtrapati Bhavan in Delhi. He said that Arunachal Pradesh is a border state in which India shared a long boundary with Bhutan, China and Myanmar.

“There is an urgent need to focus on development of socio-economic infrastructure in border villages. People of these villages serve a vital purpose of keeping the border intact,” the Governor said. The Ar my veteran drew attention to internal security problems in the state’s eastern part and emphasised the need for more focus on developmental activities in the demarked disturbed areas. “There is a requirement of a comprehensive package for development of three districts of Tirap, Changlang and Longding,”

he said. Underscoring the lack of private jobs in the state, the governor called for setting up entrepreneurship development centres in each district to facilitate startups. The two-day 48th Conference of Governors was inaugurated by President Ram Nath Kovind on Thursday. As many as 27 governors and three Lt governors of states and union territories are participating. administrators of Dadra and Nagar Haveli as well as Daman and Diu and Lakshadweep are special invitees.

IMPHAL, Oct 14: Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh Saturday condemned the bomb blast at a fair (mela) site at Tera Lukram Leirak in Imphal West district. At least 11 people including a minor boy and a woman sustained injuries in yesterday’s blast. Singh, in a facebook post, termed the blast as “terrorist act”. “I strongly condemn the blast; this is a terrorist act and nothing else. I do share the sentiment of the victim families,” he posted. M e a n w h i l e, K a n gleipak Communist Part (Peoples War Group), while claiming responsibility for

the blast has warned local people against participation in fairs and carnivals which is banned by the group. However, another militant group, Maoist Communist Party, Manipur (MCPM) has condemned the blast. In a statement, MCPM stated that such act was illogical and injustice. It said the Maoist Manipur had never indulged in any such action which would inflict casualties to the civilians. It added that such act like bomb blast in public places might be an architect to sabotage the week long protest being prepared by the Maoist Manipur to protect the indigenous people of the state from November 11.

My govt ensures schemes are implemented within time: Modi

Narendra Modi being welcomed by the Governor of Bihar, Satya Pal Malik and the Chief Minister of Bihar, Nitish Kumar, on his arrival, at Patna, Bihar on Saturday. (PTI)

among those present at the programme. Modi began his nearly 30-minute speech in Magahi dialect and praised the people of Mokama. He recalled the city’s connection with the mythological warrior sage Parashuram. He also recalled the contributions of poet Ramdhari Singh Dinkar and Bihar’s first Chief Minister Shri Krishna Singh, pointing that both of them hailed from Begusarai “just across the Ganges”. Underscoring his government’s commitment to boost inland water transport, Modi said during the British era, “when we had excellent waterways, Mokama was known as ‘mini Kolkata’. We must revive the lost glory”. “My government is working tirelessly to provide better road, rail and internet connectivity and power con-

cern for the initiatives taken by the Centre”. Kumar urged Modi to undertake key projects like a bridge parallel to the ‘Vikramshila Setu’ over the Ganges in Bhagalpur and a direct road connecting Buxar with Varanasi, which is the prime minister’s parliamentary constituency. He also recalled his connection with Mokama, which forms a part of the Barh Lok Sabha seat, which he has represented a number of times in the parliament. This was Modi’s first Bihar visit since the BJP return to the coalition with the JD(U) in Bihar in July this year. Bihar’s Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi, a BJP leader, said this was the “first time in 27 years when the same dispensation rules both at the Centre and in Bihar.” “To use an expression of the prime minister, Bihar now has two engines to propel it on the path towards progress,” Sushil Modi said.

BJP not antiwomen: Sushma Ahmedabad, Oct 14 (IANS): External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Saturday slammed the opposition for terming the BJP an “anti-women party” and said there are six women Cabinet Ministers in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government. Modi’s cabinet has six women ministers, including two in the powerful Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), Swaraj said while speaking at a ‘Mahila Town Hall’ here. Earlier, “no woman was ever a member of the CCS”, Swaraj said, adding that two of the four CCS members at present are women. “Rivals call the Bharatiya Janata Party an anti-women party but it gave four women Chief Ministers and four women Governors as well,” said Swaraj. She said the BJP is far ahead in political empowerment of women. “The party is making every effort to resolve issues related to women’s safety, empowerment and self-reliance,” she said.

Top LeT militant, aide killed in Kashmir Srinagar, Oct 14 (IANS): Two Lashkar-eTaiba militants, including a top “commander” Wasim Shah who is believed to be behind recruiting local youth to join the terror outfit, were killed in a gunfight with security forces in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district on Saturday, triggering protests by locals who clashed with police, in which one civilian was killed. In a separate incident, militants attacked a police vehicle in Damhal Hanjipora area Saturday evening, killing a constable. LeT district commander Wasim Shah alias Usman, hailing from Shopian, was killed along with Naseer Mir in Litter village, where the gun battle took place. Police said Wasim Shah was a close associate of Hizbul commander, Burhan Wani who was killed on July 8 last year in Kokernag area of Anantnag district, triggering monthslong violent protests in the valley in which many people were killed. As news about the killings spread in the area, announcements were made through mosque public address systems asking

people to come out and stage protests. Protesters from the village and adjacent areas gathered in large numbers, pelting stones at security forces and shouting proIslam slogans. Several protesters were injured, while one civilian protester died of bullet injury. The protester, identified as Gulzar Ahmad Mir, sustained a gunshot injury and was shifted to a nearby hospital. However, the doctors there referred him to Srinagar for treatment. “He was rushed to SMHS hospital in Srinagar, where he succumbed to critical injuries,” the police sources said. Over a dozen other protesters were injured in the clashes. One more person with a firearm injury was referred to Srinagar while reports from the area said at least three have sustained pellet wounds. Earlier, a gun battle between the militants and the security forces broke out after the latter received specific intelligence inputs on the LeT militant’s presence in Litter village. As the security personnel closed in on their hideout, the militants opened fire

triggering the gunfight. An AK-47 and an AK56 rifle and six magazines were recovered from the site. Inspector General of Police Muneer Khan, addressing a press conference, said Wasim Shah was “very notorious and his elimination was a big success as he used to recruit cadre for the LeT”. “Terrorists have misused social media to lure youth in south Kashmir, no doubt about it,” he said. Khan said the operation was launched by the state police, army and CRPF following specific information received about the presence of the two LeT militants. The two were first asked to surrender but when they started firing, the troops retaliated and gunned them down, he said. The killing of Wasim Shah follows a string of such operations by security forces in which they have killed top rung leaders of militant groups like LeT, Jaish-e-Mohammed, and Hizbul Mujahedin. Authorities suspended Internet services in Pulwama district in the wake of protests that followed the killing of the militants.

Mokama, Oct 14 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Saturday his government ensures the schemes launched by it are implemented within a time limit, unlike in the past when projects were announced “during election time” and forgotten later. Modi deplored “the thinking of many political leaders” that projects like roads were not meant for the poor. “We can not imagine the extent to which this mindset has damaged the country.” The prime minister was addressing a gathering after launching development projects relating to highways and sewage treatment in Mokama, about 100 km from Bihar capital Patna. Bihar Governor Satyapal Malik, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Union ministers Nitin Gadkari and Ram Vilas Paswan were

nections and potable water to all. We have launched many schemes with these specific targets in mind,” he said. The prime minister said his government “launches schemes keeping a roadmap ready” and “ensures implementation within time limit”, unlike past regimes, “which were in the habit of announcing projects during election time, only to forget about these later”. Extending his greetings for Diwali on October 19, and Chhath - Bihar’s most celebrated festival which falls six days later, Modi said “once the Ganges is cleansed of pollutants, for which we have launched a special project called ‘Namami Gange’, it would be a real delight to observe the austerities of Chhath”. Modi lauded Gadkari, who holds the surface and transport ministry, for expanding India’s road network. He also had a word of praise for Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar “for his cooperation and his con-

Stung by a sting

fter three years of unchallenged claim of being corruption-free and continuing to condemn other political parties notably the Congress for blatant corruption; now the boot is on the other foot after the TheWire (a web portal) made a startling allegation about highly questionable financial transactions in the business of Jay Shah, the son of BJP president Amit Shah. The opposition including Congress were quick to pounce on the report and demanded that the same government which left no stone unturned to unleash CBI, ED and NIA probes on opposition leaders, should now use the same yardstick on Jay Shah. The reaction from the BJP’t top guns was as explosive as the allegation, when railway minister Piyush Goel, law and telecom minister Ravi Shankar Prasad firing their heavy artillery in defence of Amit Shah’s son. Union home minister Rajnath Singh also followed suit to dismiss the allegations outright and also rejecting any probe on these allegations. Jay Shah had already filed a defamation suit of Rs.100 crore against the Wire. In its report, TheWire.in claimed that the turnover of one of Jay Shah’s companies “increased 16,000 times over in the year following the election of Narendra Modi as Prime Minister”. According to NDTV, in the same year loans to 2 of Jay Shah’s companies “rose to Rs.53.4 crore, a jump of 4,000 per cent” compared to a total of Rs.1.3 crore up to 2013-14. Going into further detail, the two media houses say one of the companies, Temple Enterprises, received an unsecured loan of Rs.15.76 crore even though it had a 10 year “unimpressive track record”. A second company, Kusum Finserve, incorporated in 2012 and with meagre profits of Rs.1.73 crore after a first year loss, received a line of credit of Rs.25 crore. TheWire adds Kusum Finserve, despite no experience in the energy or infrastructure sectors, received a 10.35 crore loan from a public sector enterprise IREDA to set up “a 2.1 MW wind energy plant”. TheWire has reported that Tushar Mehta, Additional SolicitorGeneral, secured permission to represent Jay Shah in court, even though government law officers can only represent private parties in exceptional circumstances. The website also claimed this was granted on October 6 though its story on Shah, which was the first to appear, was only published on October 8. The voter will now have to weigh the way BJP exploited the Vadra deals and made it an election issue with Prime Minister Narendra Modi leading the charge in 2013 and 2015 and now his total silence over the Jay Shah case. Former BJP finance minister Yashwant Sinha said the Jay Shah case and the handling by the BJP showed loss of moral high ground and described the Rs.100 crore suit as a attempt to “suppress the voice of the media”. After the meteoric rise in its financial balance sheet, it was also a stunner that Jay Shah’s firm suddenly closed down.The RSS had taken the stand that probe can be held only if those who made the allegations can substantiate with proof. This is a newly invented jurisprudence which nullifies all the precepts of law and justice. If this principle is applied then it means allegations cannot be a reason to probe any offence or crime against any person till the accuser provides proof.

DailyDevotion The Key to the Missionary’s Work Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…” —Matthew 28:18-19 The key to the missionary’s work is the authority of Jesus Christ, not the needs of the lost. We are inclined to look on our Lord as one who assists us in our endeavors for God. Yet our Lord places Himself as the absolute sovereign and supreme Lord over His disciples. He does not say that the lost will never be saved if we don’t go— He simply says, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations….” He says, “Go on the basis of the revealed truth of My sovereignty, teaching and preaching out of your living experience of Me.” “Then the eleven disciples went…to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them” (Matthew 28:16). If I want to know the universal sovereignty of Christ, I must know Him myself. I must take time to worship the One whose name I bear. Jesus says, “Come to Me…”— that is the place to meet Jesus— “all you who labor and are heavy laden…” (Matthew 11:28)— and how many missionaries are! We completely dismiss these wonderful words of the universal Sovereign of the world, but they are the words of Jesus to His disciples meant for here and now. “Go therefore….” To “go” simply means to live. Acts 1:8 is the description of how to go. Jesus did not say in this verse, “Go into Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria,” but, “…you shall be witnesses to Me in [all these places].” He takes upon Himself the work of sending us. “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you…” (John 15:7)— that is the way to keep going. Where we are placed is then a matter of indifference to us, because God sovereignly engineers our goings. “None of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus…” (Acts 20:24). That is how to keep going until we are gone from this life.

The untold mother’s love

he fifth commandment says, “Thou shall not kill.” To kill is easier than to save life. Every day, we have a choice to live or die. We all choose to live because there is joy in living than to be inside the coffin underneath without any breath. The respect for the sacredness of life is the message of the God to all human beings. Life must be respected and honoured at all cost. Life belong to God, not men. The scientific world has provided everything to men except God. One such providence of Science is the ability to abort unborn babies. The fetus can be cut into pieces like a piece of cake for fun. To avoid social shame, young girls undergo abortion with utmost secrecy. The fear of parents, the shame and guilt among the circle of friends push them inside the closed doors of abortion. The past joy has turned into present sorrow. Abortion is not only doing away with the unborn child, but it is a desecration of one’s life before God. To do away with one’s own blood and flesh is a way of killing oneself. The guilt of killing is not easily removed. It haunts the person from sun rise till sunset. The joy of the mother becomes the death of a child. Today, many young boys and girls give into each other not knowing the future road. The path that leads to real life in God is never counted. There are many students who go to study in towns and cities in search of better tomorrow. Instead of getting degree and acquiring masters, many go back pregnant (a real degree/ master). In most cases, the boys easily escape the scene leaving the girls behind to suffer alone emotionally and psychologically till the end of their life. The world is filled with potholes. The potholes are seen not only on the road but also in one’s personal life. The many spiritual holes in one’s life do not allow Christian values to remain in the person. It escapes through different holes. Abortion has become a sociological

looks like student of class 8 or 9 will surprise you with four or five children. This is the face of our society. The root cause is to be blamed and must be rectified with proper knowledge of parenthood and family life. This will solve many of the existing problems in the Naga society. Our society can be heading for its own doom because of immature parents. No women who have committed the act of killing (abortion) must be allowed to join public rally against killing of innocent people. There are women who staged protest against killing and rape. They are quick to respond to such rallies to avoid their personal stigmatas. But among them are people who have secretly killed the sacred fetus inside their own womb. Their womb, the life-giving crib has turned out to be a grave. Who gives right to Christian mother to kill randomly without any shame and guilt? Such mothers will be answerable to God. How many Naga women have stained their hands with innocent blood? Yet they go around with the biggest placard, ‘Do not kill,’ ‘We want Peace,’ etc… Such rallies gives them the favorable time to make themselves innocent before the public. Yet their innocence is their crime. Silent killing is equally grievous as an open killing. In both the case, life is snapped without any mercy. We are Christians not because we know how to kill each other but because we are bought by the precious blood of Jesus. Christian life is counted not only in good times, but more in times of temptations, trials, turmoil and pain. Every medical doctor and pregnant mother must be cautious enough not to fall into sin of killing unborn babies. The grace of God is enough to withstand any temptation and disaster. May we all learn to respect life in the image and likeness of God (Gen. 1:27) Rev. Fr. G. L. Khing, Kohima, (tisislawkhing@gmail.com)

nemployment is the greatest economic challenge facing India. India’s economy may be growing more than twice as fast as the rest of the world but the story on the jobs creation front is just the opposite, according to the Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The United Nations International Labour Organisation (ILO) released its 2017 World Employment and Social Outlook report, which finds economic growth trends lagging behind employment needs and predicts both rising unemployment and worsening social inequality throughout 2017. The number of unemployed people in India is expected to rise by 1 lakh in 2017 and another 2 lakh in 2018, according to the International Labour Organisation (ILO). Virtually all major economic policy issues derive from this central challenge. What is the current unemployment situation? Is it improving or deteriorating? Can the government crack the unemployment problem, or will the problem crack the government? India’s rate of employment has declined and job creation has not kept up with the growing working-age population. India’s rate of employment has declined and job creation has not kept up with the growing working-age population. The stock is growing at 1.5% per year, adding about 5.5 million people to the workforce every year. Population in the working-age years is set to expand massively in India. Between 2010 and 2030, World Bank estimates suggest, the population in the 15-59 age group will increase by more than 200 million in India While Unemployment in India is projected to witness marginal increase between 2017 and 2018, signalling stagnation in job creation in the country, according to a UN labour report. According to estimates by International Labour Organization (ILO), India’s employment elasticity, a common measure of how employment

growth responds to GDP growth, hovered around 0.3 between 1991 and 2007. Basically, 1% of overall economic growth produced 0.3% of employment growth. That number has been coming down quite alarmingly since, and now stands at only about 0.15%. More than 30 per cent of Indians aged 15-29 years are neither in employment nor in education and training. This is more than double the OECD average and almost three times that of China. A perfect storm is brewing across India’s industrial complex, one that will truly test the country’s demographic dividend. Restructuring in many existing industries is leading to layoffs in thousands while a future in which new projects could be driven largely by automation and robots could put paid to the aspirations of millions of young men and women readying to join the workforce every year. Simply put, we could be looking at a future in which there are just no new jobs. The Indian economy should urgently seek ways to generate decent jobs in large numbers. A failure to do so would result in frittering away the energies of the country’s young population. The ILO advocates policy approaches that address root causes of secular stagnation as well as structural impediments to growth. “Boosting economic growth in an equitable and inclusive manner requires a multi-faceted policy approach that addresses the underlying causes of secular stagnation, such as income inequality, while taking into account country specificities”, said Tobin. Such progress, the ILO emphasised, is only possible through international cooperation. A coordinated effort to provide fiscal stimuli and public investments would go a long way to provide an immediate jump start to the global economy and could eliminate an anticipated rise in unemployment for two million people.

The future is now: The Naga indigenous voices

adies and gentlemen, tomorrow is happening today. If you can’t see, if you don’t know what’s coming, you’re going to be left behind. And not just one or two steps behind either –miles behind. And things are moving so fast you may never catch up-ever. Have you ever been made fun of, ridiculed, abused, misunderstood and mocked until finally there came a time when you stood up and shouted, Enough, is “Enough!” Long live ACAUT.

factor affecting the individual’s life. Those who have undergone abortion may not conceive again due to physiological and psychological factors. There are many Naga boys and girls who instead of building up their life destroy themselves with false love. Their love is beyond measure, because they do not know how to measure it in term of life. Many Christian medical doctors also involve in the act of abortion. They do the act on week days and pray to God on Sunday to preserve their life and bless them with good and long life. This is a funny prayer. God will burst into laughter at such prayers. The medical doctors and those who assist in the act are equally culpable of the crime. Even in extreme cases, abortion is never advised. Life is to be preserved at all cost. Every life is equally important and precious in front of God. As we try to preserve our life, we must also learn to preserve others life. Likewise, the unborn child has every right to live in the womb of the mother and be born into the world to enjoy the beauty of the world like the mother herself. The denial of right to the unborn child does not mean mothers right. “In everything do to others as you would have them do to you.” (Mt. 7:12) The love of a boy and girl on Valentine’s Day (14th February), will bear fruit on Children’s Day (14th November). Yet, many young people are too immature to be parents. That is why the society is filled with immature people born of immature parents. We blame the system of Government, the Church and other social institutions for all the wrong doings, yet we have not recognized the fact of giving birth to a child as immature parents. Who is to be blamed? A young person who is not fit to be parent will only give birth to an unfitting child (a tree is known by its fruit and vice-versa). The child will not fit himself/herself in the world. He/ she can be a nuisance more than a simple sense. A young girl who

that permit few to get rich at the expenses of many others –these acts break human laws. Time and time again, we have seen our political parties defend their corrupt members and even back them for corruption. Their first standard excuse is ‘Nothing malaise is proven yet.’ The second classic excuse is ‘Look at what other parties have done. Therefore, a murderer can be spared, as long as he can find another murderer’. It is important to understand why all political parties back their corrupt members, despite massive allegations and enough circumstantial evidence to such people. The answer is in the way Nagas think. While it is easy to blame

politicians, the fact remains that our politicians are not ethical because we are also not ethical. A large number of politicians have lost their track of the idea that every profession in this world have ethics- it may not be illegal to break them but still is definitely wrong. A doctor must treat his patient as soon as possible, it is assumed under medical practice. But if he delays treatment, it would be hard to prove it illegal. A teacher must try to teach the students well, though if she does not, it won’t be illegal. Society needs ethics as much as laws to function well. Law does not work without moral obligation. Until we, as a society, really feel that graft, unethi-

cal behaviour and nepotism are huge problems, and start to truly care about all of them, politicians will not change. We should also send out the message that it is lack of values within us, and not just a few bad guys at the top, that has turned Nagas corrupt. More than anything, we ourselves must change, and see the sense in doing so. A society without values cannot survive or function, let alone progress. When this realization dawn on a larger section of society, politicians will change. Right now, they don’t because they think you, the voter, do not care. We live in shameless times. When long-overdue, self-reflection and shame strike us, Naga people will be ready

Walk the talk

f one has to speak on utopian society free from all means of Corruption in and around one can come up with list of measures which can fit in to construct a paradise city irrespective of young and old. Naga society is the most presented aphorisms is that the best leaders understand the need to “Walk the talk” - that is, their day today behaviour and actions have to match the aspirations they have for their followers/public. Multiplication of civil organisations and groups makes even more a perplexed existence of our society whom to support trust and listen. President title has become way of style and fashion with least outcome. Leading an organisation has also become more like establishing business firm the high level of vo-

cabulary competition has completely diluted the mindset of young generation. In the short run ‘All Nagaland Bangladeshi Association’ may even come up spearheaded under some local ‘Dada’ if we don’t care! Mushrooming of NGOs should be minimised if we really concerned about achieving one goal that is ‘Utopian Society’. Every organisation strives for bringing good changes but too many existence confuse the people in decision making. I saw the power of language earlier this summer when a mass rally organised by ACAUT after a month long orientation and news circulation in social networking site. Hundreds and thousands cheers and thundered responding with urgency to fight against Corruption. But how far it is effective! Like minded young

people are more into keypad wars not like the warriors who stand tall and face the real world. Clean election campaign one can exaggerate to follow certain ethics and moral importance and we have seen the recent inauguration of clean election pre-poll campaign at Mokokchung district blazing properties on fire. So ask yourself as you try to lead an organisation. Have you developed a vocabulary competition or an action that helps everyone understand what makes your organisation special and what it takes for people to be at their best? Can you explain, in a language all your own, what separates you from the others and why you expect to win. Even as you make sure to talk the walk do you know how to walk the talk? Yimtiyongdang, 4th Mile Dimapur

for change. We have seen many express on corrupt leaders; it is our time we did expose on ourselves. From speaking engagements to dinner with friends, one question is constant: ‘Why is not corruption going away?’The question baffles the educated middle classes. Why is a reasonable, universal and noble demand for an honest society too difficult to achieve in a democracy? And why is that corrupt parties win elections times and times again? We are not a people of stupid voters. We are simple, a people where we want different things, and that’s okay. However, removing corruption will require it to be made the number one priority for

all people of Nagaland. It is a non-tribal issue, and remembering it will be beneficial to all. When the roof of the house is leaky, you need to fix the roof first rather than fight family feuds. If we can become one on this issue of fighting corruption, we will be able to win against it as well. As we agitate, politicians in the corridors of power will have to listen. Don’t sit idle and watch injustice happen. Rebel if you need. Don’t become a part of the evil, because you have enough talent to be successful by being good. Rise, fight and rescue us. The state needs you. Your time has come. N.M. Jamir, Advocate and Chairman, Nagaland Indigenous Forum

Sir,

On installation of CCTV cameras

Considering the fact that we live in a diverse town like Dimapur, it is high time for the government to install CCTV cameras at busy roads, atop traffic signals and on highways with busy intersections or just about any large institutions. These cameras can not only be used for monitoring traffic, recording traffic pattern data and monitoring and observing traffic but they can be even used to record crime or various kinds of violations in the town. The state department of transportation must use traffic cameras to monitor vehicle flow on streets, roads and major arteries. Besides monitoring the roads for closures or accidents, the state department should also enforce speed limits and issue tickets for moving violations (this should strictly include the vehicles of ministers’ as well). While the use of cameras in deterring crime is hard to prove, it is thought to be extremely effective as customers at shops and pedestrians would immediately know that they are being filmed. Members of the public who know that CCTVs are continuously monitoring various institutions are also less likely to assault staff. It is safe4 to say that installation of CCTVs would provide us with a safer environment since it can spot accidents as they happen and send help immediately. It would also undoubtedly save lives, missing people, criminals can be traced and accidents could also be prevented. The advantages of surveillance outweighs the disadvantages for most of us and I believe the government should start installing CCTVs all over the town, while also making sure that there is a balance that between people’s right to privacy and the right to be safe. It should be the duty of the government to ensure not only the safety of the people but also to rise in pars with the other states. Narola Longkumer, Dimapur

Rajnath blasts Pak for ‘impious’ activities

Rajnath Singh

Ba r d o l i , O c t 1 4 (PTI): Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh Saturday said no power in the world can stop the government from resolving the Kashmir issue and hit out at Pakistan for its “impious” activities against India. Singh said the NDA government has given a free hand to the Army to act against terrorists and give a befitting reply to any firing from across the border in Kashmir. “I would like to say that nobody needs to be worried about Kashmir. No power in the world can

stop us from resolving the issue,” he said. Addressing a gathering here in Surat district as part of the BJP’s ‘Gujarat Gaurav Yatra’, Singh attacked Pakistan saying it sends terrorists into India and wants to break the country. “Pakistan is our neighbouring state. Its name is ‘Pak’-istan, but it regularly indulges in ‘napaak’ (impious) activities, tries to break India and sends terrorists into India,” he said. “Our Prime Minister Narendra Modi tried his best (for peaceful resolution of bilateral issues) considering that Pakistan is our neighbouring state. He even went to Pakistan breaking all protocol, but Pakistan is not refraining from its activities. This can’t continue for long,” he said. The home minister said he has asked the Army to reply with bullets

Five thrashed on suspicion of carrying beef in Haryana Faridabad, Oct 14 (IANS): Five Muslim youths from Faridabad district of Haryana were thrashed by cow vigilantes who suspected them of transporting beef in Mujessar area, following which members of both the groups were booked in different cases, police said on Saturday. Police said two brothers Isaan Mohammad and Shahzad along with Shakeel, Sonu, and Azaad Mohammad -- all residents of three villages in Faridabad district -- were thrashed by a mob of cow vigilantes on Friday when they were carrying meat in an autorickshaw. On Saturday, police registered a case under

Sections 148, 149, 323, 341, and 506 of the Indian Penal Code at Mujessar police station against unknown 15-20 persons for thrashing the five youths. Police said on a complaint by Faridabad’s Sanjay Colony resident Bajranji, the five youths too were booked in a cross-case under The Haryana Gauvansh and Gausamvardhan Act of 2015. “A laboratory test has since established that the seized meat was of buffalo and not cow or its progeny. After the report, 15-20 unknown persons were booked under the IPC,” a senior police officer told IANS. No arrest has been made as yet.

Lucknow, Oct 14 (IANS): Three persons were killed and a dozen injured in a shootout between two groups over a land dispute in Deoria in Uttar Pradesh on Saturday, following which angry locals blocked a highway, police said. The deceased were Satya Prakash, 19, Ram Pradesh, 25, and Inderjeet, 22. The injured were admitted to a district hospital, where the condition of Baijnath, 40, and Vijay, 50, is said to be critical. Violence broke out at Sarora village due to a dispute over the construction of a petrol pump on a piece of land both sides claimed belonged to them. Tension prevailed in the area, following which heavy police deployment was made.

Though Sena is part of the ruling BJP-led coalition in Maharashtra and at th centre, it has been critical of its ally on a number of issues. The party claimed that in the run-up to the Nanded- Waghala municipal corporation polls held recently, the BJP had ‘poached’ corporators from the Congress and Shiv Sena, in a bid to decimate its Opposition.

The Congress won 73 of the 81 seats in the civic polls in Nanded, the home turf of senior Congress leader and former Chief Minister Ashok Chavan. The BJP bagged six seats, while the Uddhav Thackeray-led party managed to win a single seat. The Shiv Sena, which has been ruling the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for two decades and continues to be at the helm of affairs right now, lost the Bhandup bypoll to BJP nominee Jagruti Patil on Thursday.

of showing “white flags” to Pakistan in response to their firings at the Indo-Pak border. Singh said he came to know about the practice after he talked to the BSF chief following news that five Indian citizens had been killed in firing by Pakistani personnel. He (The BSF DG) “told me it is an old practice to show white flag in response to Pakistani firing... this is to tell them that we want peace. I asked the DG as to what was Pakistan response to our flags being shown 16 times. “He said Pakistan did not show any white flag. On telephone I told him not to show white flag for the 17th time. And it is my standing order that while first bullet shall not be fired by India, if we receive even a single bullet, we will retaliate,” he said.

Someines it is one (militant) in a day or two or four or six. The jawans of our Army keep greeting them with ‘Jai Sri Ram.’ It has never happened before that militants have been killed in such a large number,” the Minister said.

Govt, oppn trade charges in rain-affected Bengaluru Bengaluru, Oct 14 (PTI): Torrential rains Saturday continued to lash Bengaluru where the body of a temple priest, who was missing since yesterday, was fished out while a search was on for a motherdaughter duo who were swept away, officials said. Forty-eight mm rainfall has been recorded in the city since 8.30 a.m. yesterday, the weather office said. Nine people have died in Bengaluru in the past 15 days due the heavy rainfall and in pothole-related accidents. Opposition BJP has criticised Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, accusing him of failing in his duty. Siddaramaiah, however, flayed the opposition for “politicising” the deaths and described as “unfortunate” the loss of lives. City civic body Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) along with the National Disaster Rapid Force (NDRF) and the State Disaster Rapid Force (SDRF) intensified the search operation and formed three teams. The priest of a temple near Kurubarahalli Circle was swept away in a stormwater drain after water gushed inside the temple yesterday. His body was recovered today, the police said. The search for the 57-year-old woman and her 22-year-old daughter,

who were swept away in a stormwater drain at Laggere after water from it flooded their house, was underway, they said. Meanwhile, Siddaramaiah and Bengaluru Development Minister K J George who toured around the rain-affected areas faced the ire of the residents, who said there was no one around to save them when water entered their houses. When reporters pointed out the substandard civic works leading to the deaths, the chief minister lost his cool. “It is unfor tunate that people have lost their lives... I condole the deaths that happened due to rains. Compensation will be given to the families of those who lost their lives,” he said. “However, you should know that the state this year has received unprecedented rains. We had continuous rains for 47 days. But, politics over deaths is condemnable. Our priorities should be to offer relief to the affected people,” he added. Siddaramaiah said the removal of encroachments and de- silting of stormwater drains would be intensified in the coming days. BJP state unit president Yeddyurappa, who visited the rain-hit areas, blamed Siddaramaiah for the deaths.

CPI(M) to discuss issue of tie-up with Congress

New Delhi, Oct 14 (PTI): The contentious issue of a political understanding with the Congress is the focal point of discussion in the three-day meeting of the CPI(M) central committee which began here Saturday. The Left party, which decided to keep equi-distance from both the BJP and the Congress in its last Party Congress in 2015, is likely to take up discussion on framing the draft political resolution. The draft resolution will be debated in the next Party Congress of the CPI(M), slated for next year. “The central committee will take up discussion on the suggestions sent by various party workers and also on the note of party general secretary Sitaram Yechury. The note written by Yechury elaborates his argument on why the CPI(M) is needed to ally with the Congress and other secular parties to fight against the Hindu brigade and the BJP,” a CPI(M) source said. Though the political line worked out by the CPI(M) in 2015 had precluded having any understanding or electoral alliance with the Congress in the fight against the BJP, the party had allowed state units to review specific political situation before deciding their own tactical line in consonance with the overall understanding.

DIMAPUR, Oct 14 (NPN): The all-new S-Cross sports, an entirely new, bold design with a powerful upright stance, was launched at Nexa showroom, Dimapur on Saturday. The masculine and aggressive upright stance is accentuated by a sculpted hood design and sleek headlamps. The sharp LED projector headlamps, housed neatly with the daylight running lamps (DRLs),

make the all-new S-Cross more assertive. The imposing chrome on the grille, along with the emphatic S insignia, makes the all-new S-Cross distinct and premium. The rear combination lamps (RCL), also equipped with LEDs, are cleaner, sharper and more contemporary in style. Wider tyres (215/60 R16), coupled with contrasting two-tone machine finished alloys, give it an imposing on-road presence. The interiors have also

been tastefully upgraded and made classier with a satin chrome accent finish, a soft touch dashboard and well-coordinated seat fabric designs. Tested at the company’s world-class Rohtak R&D facility, the all-new S-Cross is among the six models already compliant with advanced upcoming new safety norms -frontal offset crash, side impact and pedestrian safety. It comes with rear seat ISO-FIX child seat safety mount.

New Delhi, Oct 14 (IANS): A new Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Act of 2016 -- notified on March 22 last year -- has come into force with effect from Friday which establishes the BIS as a national standards body, an official statement said. The Act has enabling provisions for the government to bring under compulsory certification regime any goods or article of any scheduled industry, process, system or service which it considers necessary in the public interest or for the protection of human, animal or plant health, safety of environment or prevention of unfair trade practices or national security. “The new Act will further help in ease of doing business in the country, give fillip to ‘Make in India’ campaign and ensure availability of quality products and services to the consumers,” it said. Enabling provisions have also been made for making hallmarking of the precious metal articles mandatory.

New Delhi, Oct 14 (PTI): Gold recovered by Rs 50 to Rs 30,850 per ten gram at the bullion market Saturday largely on positive cues from overseas and increased buying by local jewellers. Silver also climbed Rs 300 to Rs 41,500 per kg due to increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers. Sentiment got a lift after gold surged overseas buoyed by a weak dollar, with investors waiting for key US inflation data for clues on the outlook for potential hikes in US interest rates, traders said. Globally, gold rose 0.79 per cent to USD 1,303.30 an ounce and silver by 1.02 per cent to USD 17.41 an ounce in New York in yesterday’s trade. Besides, pick-up in buying by local jewellers to meet the ongoing festive season demand at domestic spot market too fuelled the uptrend, they said.

In an effort to pitch India as an investor-friendly destination, the finance minister said that his government had taken a series of steps to improve the ease of doing business. “India today is one of the most open, globally integrated economy. In the last few years, we are moving up the ease of doing business ranking,” he said, as he listed out some of the key initiatives by his government. Among these are the “massive steps” that the Indian government has taken in using new digital technologies for governance and making them beneficial to the people, Jaitley said. “Today, almost everyone is connected to the banking system. Almost every adult in India has biometric. The integrated data has helped the government to reach every citizen on digital platform,” he said.

Mumbai, Oct 14 (PTI): IndusInd Bank today said it will acquire country’s largest microfinance player Bharat Financial Inclusion Ltd (BFIL) and the transaction is expected to be completed in the next 10 months. This would be the largest merger and acquisition in the microfinance space. Announcing the merger, IndusInd Bank Managing Director Romesh Sobti said BFIL’s shareholders will receive 639 shares of IndusInd for every 1,000 shares of the microfinance major. The merger will be effected through an all-stock transaction of BFIL into IndusInd through a Composite Scheme of Arrangement, he said. The merger will not only expand the balancesheet

that the growth is returning back to the world, the future holds an important direction as far as India is concerned. The sheer size of the country and economy would offer huge opportunity for investment in India in the next few years,” he said. Jaitley said that when the BJP government came to power in 2014, it had the choice to look the other way and allow the shadow economy to continue. “But it did not do so, as it took a series of courageous steps which ultimately culminated in demonetisation of highvalue currency,” the finance minister said. The government knew that there would be shortterm impact on the economy, Jaitley said, “but, in the long term, it would benefit the country,” he told a gathering of investors and corporate leaders.

He said under the new revival package, the promoters asked for some concessions on interest and to retain some portion of the proceeds of sale of excess office space to fund the start of operations at two plants. Temporary suspension of work had been declared at both the plants since 2015 for lack of working capital. “We did not ask for any fresh fund infusion from the lenders or any discount on the principal amount”, he said. Nicco’s borrowed funds from the SBI, the UCO bank, the Allahabad bank and the Central bank, and secured lenders amounted to around Rs 213 crore besides, the interest thereon. Kaul said that job loss could still be averted if some new entities showed interest in the assets of the company which could be sold on lump sum basis. “I think it is still possible to find a solution under the law and to commence production”, he said.

Washington, Oct 14 (PTI): India has the potential to grow at a reasonably high level in the next decade or two, owing to some structural changes by the government and a turnaround in the global economy, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said Saturday. The whole environment of doing business has changed in a matter of months, Jaitley told a Washington audience at an event organised by the USIndia Strategic and Partnership Forum. “India has the potential to grow at a reasonably high level in the next onetwo decades. This is mainly because of the series of structural reforms being carried out by the government, turnaround in the global economy, and the massive investment opportunity that the infrastructure sector offers,” said Jaitley. “I am certain that now

Kolkata, Oct 14 (PTI): Job loss of about 600 people, including blue collar workers and white collar employees, are feared owing to possible liquidation of cable manufacturer Nicco Corporation after the lenders rejected the revival package. “It is sad to see that such an old company is facing possible liquidation. There is job loss fear of around 600 people at the two factories at Shyamnagar in West Bengal and Baripada in Odhisa”, nonexecutive Director of Nicco Corporation Shiv Siddhant Kaul told PTI. The Nicco Corporation, the first company to be referred to the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) after the BIFR was scrapped, had earlier disposed off its other two units, the projects and biotech divisions. Kaul said that the stipulated 270 days under the NCLT had completed and the judge in its last hearing yesterday had reserved its judgement.

Coleman was heavily pregnant at the time with their first child. This week, they returned with three children, all born in captivity, the youngest of whom is understood to be in poor health. In his statement, Boyle appeared to suggest they had had a fourth child, a baby girl who had been killed by their captors, the Taliban-aligned Haqqani network, as he also revealed they had raped his wife, the BBC said. It was, he said, “retaliation for my repeated refusal” to accept an offer made to him by the network.

In a combative speech on Friday, Mr Trump called Iran a “fanatical regime” and said it had violated the terms of the deal. He accused Iran of sponsoring terrorism, and proposed new sanctions. “We will not continue down a path whose predictable conclusion is more violence, more terror, and the very real threat of Iran’s nuclear breakout,” he said. International observers say Iran has been in full compliance with the agreement. China has not spoken since Mr Trump’s speech but previously called on the US to preserve the deal. Russia’s foreign ministry said it regretted Mr Trump’s decision but did not expect it to stop the deal

in Rakhine and that the impoverished state needs development. Roughly 1 million Rohingya make up a long-persecuted minority in the Southeast Asian country. The Buddhist majority regards them as having migrated illegally from Bangladesh, although many Rohingya families have lived in Myanmar for generations. They were stripped of their citizenship in 1982. After earlier waves of Rohingya flight, about 120,000 live in camps outside Rakhine’s capital, Sittwe. In an unprecedented exodus, more than 500,000 Rohingya have fled from Rakhine to neighboring Bangladesh since August 25, when security forces clamped down after the latest in a series of attacks on police posts by a Rohingya militant group. Many houses were burned in the crackdown, and Rohingya refugees have described rape, looting and abuse.

being implemented. Mr Trump is seeking the end to the nuclear deal’s so-called “sunset clauses”, one of which allows for the lifting of restrictions on Iran’s nuclear enrichment programme after 2025. He announced treasury department sanctions on Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards, which he called the “corrupt personal terror force of Iran’s leader”, and called for restrictions on Iran’s ballistic missile programme, which is not covered by the deal. Last month, Iran said it had successfully tested a new medium-range missile with a 2,000km (1,200mile) range.

L o n d o n, O c t 1 4 (Agencies): Global powers, including key US allies, have said they will stand by the Iran nuclear deal which US President Donald Trump has threatened to tear apart. Mr Trump said on Friday that he would stop signing off on the agreement. The UK, France and Germany responded that the pact was “in our shared national security interest”. The EU said it was “not up to any single country to terminate” a “working” deal. Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani said the US was “more isolated than ever”. “Can a president annul a multilateral international treaty on his own?” he asked. “Apparently he doesn’t know that this agreement is not a bilateral agreement solely between Iran and the United States.” The deal, signed in 2015, is between Iran and six international powers - the UK, the US, Russia, France, Germany, and China. It imposed curbs on Iran’s nuclear programme in return for an easing of international sanctions.

United Nations, Oct 14 (Agencies): Former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan has urged Myanmar to make sure the half-million Rohingya Muslim refugees who have fled in the last two months can go home, and not go to camps. Myanmar’s government needs to “create conditions that will allow the refugees to return with dignity and with a sense of security” and help them rebuild in violence-wracked Rakhine state, said Annan, who recently headed a commission on the crisis there. “They should not be returned to camps,” he said after addressing an informal, private Security Council meeting on the issue. “They need assistance to get their homes back.” Myanmar’s UN mission didn’t respond to a request for comment on yesterday’s session. The country’s leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, said Thursday that she had created a committee to oversee all international and local assistance

uckethead-the brilliant but reclusive shred guitarist-revealed in an interview that he has been diagnosed with a life-threatening heart condition, and that even simple tasks such as walking have become

incredibly difficult for him. Speaking on the Coming Alive podcast, the guitarist said “Well, really recently, I have a heart problem where my heart beats out of rhythm. It’s been doing it for a long

time, but recently it just really kicked up and became really intense. It’s been doing it for a long time, but recently it just really kicked up and became really intense. I really didn’t know what was going on.” “I just tried to deal with it and let it do what it did, and eventually it would stop,” he continued. “But it got really intense, so I went to the doctor and they said, ‘You’re on the verge of having a stroke. “They suggested I had a thing called an ablation, they go in and freeze your heart. It’s supposed to do something with the nerves, because they said my heart was fine, but it could be a genetic thing, they didn’t really know. I had that procedure, and it didn’t really stop it, and I’m still dealing with it,”

he added. “I take medication, which is tough, because I never took anything my whole life, although if I eat food or drink something that’s probably worse anyway (laughs). So it’s been really difficult, because it’s scary because it comes on. Even walking across a room is difficult, luckily the medication I’m thankful for, because it’s kept it from going berserk, but it’s pretty intense.” Speaking of the effect his condition has had on his music, Buckethead said “I mean, the day after I had that procedure, I recorded a record with my friend. I just lied in bed and recorded it, because I felt like, I’m here still.” “I could be gone tomorrow. Anybody could be gone, but that’s a heavy experience. I want to play right now, and I want to play that experience.”

Tears for Fears’ First New Song in 13 Years is worth the Wait

D

espite the fact that they already have one greatest hits compilation to their name, 1992’s multi-platinum smash Tears Roll Down, the seminal British electronic duo of Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith have decided to double-down and give a younger generation of fans an easy entryway into their genre-defining discography with another one. Rule The World, is a 16-track collection set to drop next month on November 10, that combines some of Tears For Fears’ best and greatest song. And for the fans who thought they’ve already heard it all, the group has decided

to sweeten the deal by adding in their first new song in 13 years. Titled “I Love You But I’m Lost,” the new song finds Tears For Fears at their bombastic best. Tying together electronic drums, plunking pianos and a tidal

wave of guitars and synths of the chorus, the new song reveals that the duo has lost nothing in their ability to compose tantalizing, singalong-inducers in their time away from the recording studio. (UpRoxx)

olish metal band Decapitated have released a new statement after being charged with the gang rape of a fan. The incident allegedly took place after the band’s show at the Pin in Spokane, Washington on August 31. An unnamed woman claimed she was held against her will on the band’s tour bus before being gang raped by all four members of the band. Local reports now state that the band’s members have been extradited from Los Angeles County jail to Spokane and have been formally charged with rape and kidnapping. “The rape charges vary between the four, from second degree for Rafal Piotrowski and Waclaw Kieltyka, to third degree for Mikola LLysejko and Hubert Wiecek,” the report states. The band issued a statement to Facebook, confirming the extradition and charges, adding: “We’d like to emphasise; the Spokane Police Department has pressed charges as procedural formality, without doing so, they would be forced to release band - this is not a conviction or any indication of guilt or innocence.” They add: “Once again, we ask that everyone wait for each party’s case to be presented and await the court’s decision. With that said, whilst cases are being prepared on both sides”. The band then claimed that “some facts are indisputable at this point” and that “the original officer who took the complaint from the accuser stated, ‘I do not have probable cause that a rape occurred”.

Pakistan win ODI series opener against Sri Lanka

Pakistan’s players celebrate after they won their first ODI cricket match against Sri Lanka in Dubai, United Arab Emirates on Friday. (AP/PTI)

DUBAI, Oct 14 (Agencies): Babar Azam scored an impressive hundred while Shoaib Malik smashed a quick-fire half-century to help Pakistan thump Sri Lanka by 83 runs in the first one-day international in Dubai. Azam compiled a wellmade 103 from 131 deliveries, while Malik’s 81 came off only 61 balls in Pakistan’s total of 292/6, before pacemen Hasan Ali (3/36) and Rumman Raees (3/49) restricted Sri Lanka to 209/8 from their 50 overs in Friday’s match. The victory was a good response by Pakistan after losing the preceding twomatch Test series 2-0, in

their first ODI since winning the Champions Trophy. Lahiru Thirimanne was the only Sri Lankan toporder batsman who played with any authority for his 53 as Pakistan took regular wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. Akila Dananjaya (50 not out) and Jeffrey Vandersay (25) delayed the result as they took Sri Lanka from 132/7 to 200/8 during their 68-run eighth-wicket stand but it was too little, too late. Left-armer Raees broke a quick 30-run opening partnership as he removed Niroshan Dickwella (19) and Dinesh Chandimal in successive overs, while Mohammad Hafeez dismissed

captain Upul Tharanga for 18. Medium pacer Ali had two wickets off two balls as he dislodged Kusal Mendis and Milinda Siriwardana to leave Sri Lanka struggling at 67/5. Raees returned for his second spell to trap Thirimanne leg before to end Sri Lanka’s hopes of a successful chase. Pakistan, sent into bat, owed their total to Azam and Malik, who added 139 for the fourth wicket. Malik holed out in the 47th over after smashing five fours and two sixes. Azam’s hundred came off 128 balls in the next over with a single, but three runs later he miscued a drive off paceman Suranga Lakmal, who finished with 2/47 from his ten overs. Pakistan plundered 89 in the last ten overs. The nominal hosts got off to a poor start when opener Ahmed Shehzad fell for a 12-ball duck, caught off Lahiru Gamage in the fourth over of the innings. Fakhar Zaman and Azam took the total to 75 before Akila Dananjaya bowled the opener with a googly. The left-handed Zaman played well during his 45-ball 42 though, hitting four fours and a six. The remaining matches will be played in Abu Dhabi (October 16 and 18) and Sharjah (October 20 and 23).

Man Utd frustrate Liverpool at Anfield

Nemanja Matic put in a thundering tackle on Philippe Coutinho as the tone was set in the early stages of the contest.

Liverpool, Oct 14 (Agencies): Liverpool and Manchester United have played out a goalless draw which failed to live up to pre-match expectations at Anfield. Following the pattern of last season’s meetings between the two bitter rivals, entertainment was in short supply with moments of real quality also scarce. Jurgen Klopp’s side carried the bigger attacking threat and were much the better side in the second period.

However, they failed to take advantage of the relatively few clear chances they created, with Emre Can and Mohamed Salah guilty of missing from close range while when they did hit the target, they found David de Gea in outstanding form. The visitors were dangerous on the counter attack in the first period with the disappointing Romelu Lukaku wasting their best opportunity. After the break though, Utd showed no attacking intent

or shape and were happy to grind out a draw. With Paul Pogba, Marouane Fellaini and Michael Carrick unavailable due to injury, Jose Mourinho opted to move Ashley Young into a role on the right side of midfield with Anthony Martial getting the nod ahead of Marcus Rashford on the left. Sadio Mane’s absence after picking up an injury on international duty for Senegal saw Philippe Coutinho take his place on the left of the attack

although the Brazilian dropped deeper throughout the match. The contest began to resemble the one which most observers predicted, the hosts dominating possession with Utd content to stay compact, attempting to close their opponents quickly in their own half, while also trying to hit Liverpool on the break through the pace of Martial and Lukaku. The Merseysiders’ best chance of the first period saw de Gea make a wonderful reflex save with his foot from Joel Matip’s close-range effort with the impressive Salah sending the rebound wide of the far post. At the other end, lovely interplay between Martial, Henrik Mkhitaryan and Lukaku saw the latter presented with a sight of goal 15 yards out but his strike was too central and Simon Mignolet was able to bat the ball away to safety. After the break, Liverpool took complete control with Chris Smalling and Matteo Darmian’s uncertainty at the back seemingly permeating throughout the side. Can should have done better when the impressive

Joe Gomez’s clipped pass dropped in front of him eight yards out but the German’s flick went yards over the bar. Klopp introduced Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Daniel Sturridge while Mourinho brought on Rashford and Jesse Lingard as both bosses hoped to get a winner - while not sacrificing their defensive shape, particularly Utd - but despite Liverpool ending the game with a succession of corners, it petered out into a goalless draw. The result sends Utd back to the top of the Premier League and while a point at Anfield is never a bad result, their quality on the ball and unambitious approach was not worthy of a team challenging for the title. For Liverpool, another two dropped points leaves them seven off-thepace set by today’s opposition but they can take some consolation from their display.

NSF Martyrs’ Trophy: Barak FC, Lamphel FC enter quarter–finals Correspondent

MDFA Trophy: Mongsenbai U-17 World Cup: France thrash Honduras 5-1 Youngsters enter semi-finals Guwahati, Oct 14 (PTI): European powerhouse France rallied from a goal down to hand a 5-1 drubbing on Honduras and qualify for the knockout stage as group toppers in the FIFA U-17 World Cup. France had already booked a Round of 16 berth before today’s game but they now go into the knock-out stage with an all-win record (nine points) in Group E. They will face Group D runners-up Spain - European qualifying tournament winners - in their Round of 16 match in Guwahati on October 17. Despite the loss, Honduras also qualified for the knock-outs as one of the four best third-placed teams. They finished third in the group with three points. Japan finished second in the group with four points after being held by minnows New Caledonia in another match in Kolkata. New Caledonia finished last in the group with one point and were

eliminated. France dominated the exchanges with 66 per cent possession and had 10 shots on target as compared to just three by Honduras. Honduras took a surprise lead in the 10th minute through Carlos Mejia but France rallied and then outplayed the Central American rivals with five goals, three of them coming in the second half. Alexis Flips struck twice in the 23rd and 64th minutes while Wilson Isidor (14th), Amine Gouiri (86th) and Yacine Adli (90+6) were the other France scorers. With his fifth goal in three matches, Gouiri maintained his status as the top scorer of the tournament so far. France had a shot at the Honduras goal as early as the third minute but Isidor’s right footed shot from the left side of the box was saved by the goalie. It was Honduras who took the lead in the 10th minute as Mejia’s left-footed shot from a difficult angle found the back of the

ban. The 30-year-old Russian, playing on a wildcard in the seventh tournament of her comeback, hit top gear as she swept aside the Chinese third seed in one hour, 18 minutes. In front of a large home crowd, a businesslike Sharapova broke four times and conceded zero breaks of her own before wrapping up the semi-final with a clinical crosscourt forehand. In Sunday’s final - her first since she won the Italian Open in May 2015 - she will be the red-hot favourite against 102ndranked Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka, who beat qualifier Sara Errani 6-1, 6-3. Sharapova has had a stop-start and injury-hit season since her controversial return at Stuttgart in April, following her ban for using the banned substance meldonium. The statuesque former world number one reached the Stuttgart semis but she retired in the Italian Open second round and also withdrew from her second-round match

at Stanford. Sharapova missed Wimbledon qualifying because of injury and she wasn’t offered a wildcard to the French Open, but she reached the US Open last 16 on her return to Grand Slam tennis. She has cut a swathe through the limited draw in Tianjin, only dropping one set so far in her victories over Irina-Camelia Begu, Magda Linette, Stefanie Voegele and Peng. Sharapova, one of the world’s highest-earning female athletes, will now expect to win her 36th career title and end a trophy drought of more than two years, the longest since her debut win in 2003. By contrast Sabalenka, 19, is gunning for her first WTA title after a run to the Tianjin final that included wins over China’s Duan Ying-Ying and Lin Zhu. Sharapova, currently ranked 86th, has also been handed a wildcard for next week’s Kremlin Cup in Moscow, which she will play for the first time since 2007.

MOTEGI , O c t 1 4 (Agencies): Yamaha rider Johann Zarco secured pole position on Saturday for the Moto Grand Prix of Japan. Zarco clocked a time of 1 minute, 53.469 seconds to edge Ducati rider Danilo Petrucci by 0.318 seconds. Championship leader Marc Marquez was third-fastest, 0.434 seconds off the pace. “When it is wet and it is drying, for me, I get a lot more confidence,” said Zarco. “We cannot get good drive (out of the corners) but I feel good to come fast into the corner. Riding the bike this way can make the difference.” “The second (pole) in the year, that is fantastic. Sometimes when you are struggling you can think that it was only one day that (it) can happen in Assen (in the Netherlands), but it can also happen in Japan and I am so happy for that.” With four races left, Repsol Honda rider Marquez leads Andrea Dovizioso by 16 points in the overall season standings.

right corner of the net. France scored two goals towards the end of the match with star striker Gouiri adding his name in the scoresheet six minutes from regulation time for his fifth goal in three matches - the highest in the tournament so far. Six minutes were added as injury time and from the last kick of the match Adli scored with brilliant free-kick from just outside the center edge of the box.
