Pangnyu warns of action against DHD squatters Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, OCT 15 (NPN): Determined to rid District Hospital Dimapur (DHD) of the menace of encroachments which have spelt doom for the expansions, Health and Family Welfare minister S Pangnyu Phom has demanded justification from the previous revenue officer (RO) and district administration as to why pattas were issued to encroachers of plots belonging to DHD without proper verification or inspection of the site. A determined Pangnyu who had issued a stern warning against encroachment and involvement of medical and land revenue staff, told a meeting at DC’s chamber here on Monday, that he would take stern action against those involved and also cautioned the officials present to remain vigilant so that this kind of issues do not recur in future. He alleged that the Dimapur district administration had randomly issued pattas to those who en-

croached upon land belonging to the hospital, without the knowledge or approval from the government or department concerned. Pangnyu said the practice had been going on for the past many years and asserted that this had to be corrected urgently. The hospital being the healthcare hub for Nagas and people from the neighbouring States, he said protecting it was the responsibility of the government and citizens alike. Regretting that those who had obtained pattas were mostly doctors and staff of DHD, Pangnyu warned that the government would take strict action against these encroachers. Damage was done by the previous officials, he added. He also announced that a meeting would be convened with all NGOs led by Naga Council Dimapur (NCD) on the issue of the encroachment. The minister asked the district administration to examine the matter and cancel all illegal pattas with immediate effect and impose a

total moratorium on issuing pattas any more to any individual against the land. He lauded NCD for taking up the issues of illegal encroachers within DHD. Meanwhile, DC Dimapur, Sushil Kumar Patel informed the meeting that the district administration had not issued any pattas for the past two half years without verification of the DC’s office. Regarding issuing of pattas to nine encroachers of DHD land, he said five pattas had been cancelled while further re-verification of papers would be done for the remaining four. And if the laid down process was not followed, then he would cancel them, he added. Patel, however, said if the papers were found to be okay and the rules followed, then these would be forwarded to Home commissioner. The meeting was also attended by CMO Dr Vikato Kinimi, DHD MS Dr Kheshito Zhimo, ADC Dimapur Albert Ezung, revenue officer and senior doctors.

Toll tax issue: DCCI serves 10-day ultimatum

DIMAPUR, OCT 15 (NPN): Chorus against lease system for collecting tolls initiated by Dimapur Muncipal Council (DMC) at the behest of Municipal Affairs Department (MAD) is only getting louder by the day. After it was first red flagged by Hardware Merchants’ Association, Dimapur District and bringing the issue to the fore, several organisations have raised their voices against the new system of collecting tolls. Now, Dimapur Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) too has joined the bandwagon and served an ultimatum to the State government to either opt out of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime or stop taxes on all items imposed by DMC within 10 days. In the event of the government and MAD failing to take proper step in this regard, the trade body warned of enforcing a shutdown and cease all business activities for an indefinite period till such time the government met its demand. According to DCCI president Akashe Zhimomi, Dimapur had become a haven for taxation and, consequently, the business community was undergoing hardship as it was forced to shell out a huge chunk of its income to pay taxes imposed by various agencies and elements. Pointing out that trade could not

thrive or survive if it becomes a charitable institution by donating and paying everincreasing taxes, he said taxation on the business community had reached all limits of tolerance. In a press release, Akashe said the recent steep hike in prices of hardware materials, especially MS rod, as pointed out by hardware merchants’ body, following introduction of lease system for collecting entry tax by DMC was one such instance and that it should open the eyes of the State government and public. While acknowledging various organisations for raising their voice on the issue on behalf of the business community, the DCCI chief hoped that DMC, MAD and the State government would consider the issue seriously.The trade body asked the State government that as it had opted for GST regime, popularly known as “one nation, one tax” where the entire nation had one tax slab with uniform maximum retail price, how the business community of Nagaland could survive on multiple taxes of the government. It also pointed out that following implementation of GST, tax gates across the county had been closed down, but DMC, with approval of the government, was still trying to collect money through taxes like “item tax” on goods entering Nagaland through Dimapur, which was unheard of anywhere in (Cont’d on p-5) the country.

KOHIMA, OCT 15 (NPN): Advisor for school education, KT Sukhalu, said the School Education department has set a target of ensuring that no government schools in the state produce nil results in the HSLC examinations by 2019. Sukhalu announced this while speaking at the three-day state level workshop for mathematic teachers of GHSS/GHS/GMS organized by directorate of school education at Ura Academy hall here Monday.

Over the years, he said the department has been

downgrading the schools due to nil results. He, however, opined that “we as a department have not been able to do justice to the schools as we did not post maths and science teachers to the schools.” Stating that there were excess teachers in some schools while some schools have acute shortage of teachers, the advisor said that before the next academic session begins, the department would carry out rationalisation. Sukhaku, however, stated that till the examinations was over there

would be no transfer and posting of any teacher. He revealed that he had already informed his colleagues and even the cabinet not to send any more chits to him for transfer and posting of teachers. While appreciating the maths and science teachers, he said “our teachers are capable and second to none. We can achieve what others are achieving and we can even do much better than what others are doing.” He advised the teachers to be sincere in their work and motivate and help students overcome the fear of maths and science. In his brief talk on the mathematics module, associate professor SCTE, Dr. Sandip Ratna, said the study conducted by him in the year 2016 on methodology practiced by maths teachers in secondary school of Nagaland reflects that (Cont’d on p-5)

Rio’s 100 days in power sans any achievement: NPF Words, assurances not achievements: Cong tells BJP DIMAPUR, OCT 15 (NPN): NPF has once again trained its guns on the PDA government led by chief minister Neiphiu Rio by accusing him of not being able to fulfil his promises and not meeting various deadlines despite setting them. In a communiqué issued by its press bureau, the opposition party alleged that Rio-led government’s 100 days in power had passed without any major achievement and cited some of his promises to buttress its allegation. According to NPF, the chief minister’s promise to implement a new State sports policy within 100 days had failed to see light of the day. Except for his “sugar-coated bragging before the public every now and then, the latest being at the closing function of NE Zone Inter-State Badminton Championship in Dimapur on Saturday”, nothing concrete had come out till date, it added. The opposition party also termed Rio’s intention to bring all sports associations and federations in the State under Nagaland Olympic Association, where he has been its permanent president since

2003, as a self-seeking initiative for wealth accumulation. “What otherwise explains the massive price escalation of cricket stadium at Sovima from Rs 25 crore to Rs 75 crore, which was executed by his kith and kin in the guise of promoting sports in the State? Even the land initially donated for construction of the stadium by Rio was later compensated at a startling value of Rs 35 per sq ft against the prevailing price of Rs 11 per sq ft in that area then. To top it all, it is learnt that more fund is being allotted for the stadium yet again,” the communiqué stated. NPF stated that construction of Multi-Disciplinary Sports Centre (stadium) in DC Court area in Dimapur, allotted by Rio to one of his close associates and which commenced some 15 years back, remained incomplete till date. It alleged that the plan to set up a Sports University as per PDA government’s Common Minimum Programme released in May 2018 was yet another “wealth-accumulation tactic” of Rio. (Cont’d on p-5)

‘Tides will favour NPF after 2019’

KOHIMA: NPF MLA, Kuzholuzo (Azo) Nienu Monday claimed that the political dynamics of Nagaland would change by 2019 and the tides will be in favour NPF, whether or not BJP comes back to power at the Centre. Azo therefore urged the party workers to remain steadfast and patient. He was speaking at the inaugural programme of the fifteen edition of the Phek Town Inter-Colony Tournament organised by Phek Town Youth Society (PTYS) and hosted him. Azo expressed regret that change had come to the state in a very regrettable and inappropriate way as leaders were not acting as they should be doing so. Taking at dig at the PDA government’s slogan- ‘change is coming’, Azo said PDA has given false hope to the people as developmental activities have come to a standstill, students bot being given their scholarship, no old age pension, teachers salary pending, deplorable road conditions, no effort to restore collapsing bridges connecting towns and villages etc. Further, Azo said PDA legislators were also afraid to face questions in the recent Assembly session, where only limited questions put up by opposition MLAs were admitted.

DIMAPUR, OCT 15 (NPN): In a stinging reply to the state BJP unit, the Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) Monday asserted that BJP’s role in Naga political peace process was only limited to “words and assurances”, which, it said, were not achievements. NPCC through its media cell alleged that BJP Nagaland and its leaders were “just parroting the words of their high command when it comes to bluffing the Nagas.” NPCC said it, however, expected the BJP state unit chief spokesman, who was a former Congress state youth president, to do better rather than indulge in “unhealthy use of words bereft of decency and distortion of history.” Congress claimed that the state of Nagaland was gifted by the then prime minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, who went out of the way to pass the Nagaland Statehood Bill despite opposition and dissenting voices in the Parliament. “We owe all what we have today to the Congress party and its leaders that gave us the benefit of Statehood and Article 371A where our religion, culture, social practices, land and its resources are protected,” NPCC said. Therefore, the Congress party stated that it alone had the moral right to speak about the history of

Nagaland state. Further, NPCC said that the current peace process was a culmination of Congress’ commitment to the people of Nagaland when former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi announced in Dimapur election rally in May 1991, two days before his tragic death in Sriperumbudur, offering talks with Naga political groups without any pre conditions. “This commitment was fulfilled by the then prime minister Narashima Rao who sent out various political emissaries in contacting leaders of Naga political groups that finally resulted in ceasefire being signed in July 1997 and beginning of peace talks that is continuing till today,” NPCC claimed. During 2014 Lok Sabha elections, NPCC said BJP and its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi promised a Naga political solution within 18 months of coming to power. It also said that “much acclaimed Naga Accord/Naga Framework Agreement” signed on Aug 3, 2015 was yet to see the light of the day. NPCC also stated that the Governor of Nagaland in March 2018 “proudly promised” a Naga political solution within six months, but has stretched into eight months without any signs of conclusion.

Strike hits normal life in Manipur

Correspondent

the statement said. Embedded in its design are socioeconomic aspects such as consumption and market expansion, cultural aspects as well as health, education, rural development and sustainable tourism. The policy implemented a phase out of chemical fertilisers and pesticides, and achieved a total ban on sale and use of chemical pesticides in the state. The transition has benefitted more than 66, 000 farming families. The Sikkim tourism sector has benefitted greatly from the state’s transition to 100 per cent organic as the number of tourists increased by over 50 per cent between 2014 and 2017, it said.

Loan mafias killed SBI lady official near Guwahati: Police Guwahati, Oct 15 (Agencies): Six days after the murder of the woman bank official in the outskirts of Guwahati, Assam Police have confirmed loan mafias involvement in the killing, Northeast Now reported. The victim, Assistant Manager of Dadara branch of SBI Junu Sarmah, fell prey to the bullets of the loan mafias on October 9 as she had unearthed a huge scam involving crores of rupees in the branch. Police on Sunday night arrested Putul Ali alias Saddam Hussain, Sunil Kumar Mishra and Pranab Kalita. Putul alias Saddam is a loan recovery agent, Mishra is an official of SBI’s Dadara branch. Pranab, who was detained by police for questioning after the incident, is a driver of the vehicle of bank official Sarmah. This spine chilling incident took place at Agiathuri under Amingaon police station on the Guwahati outskirts when two-motorcycle borne undefined gunmen shot dead Junu Sarmah. Sarmah was on her way back home in Guwahati in a four-wheeler (no-AS-01AG6869) from the bank when the incident took place. She was a resident of Nijarapar area in Chandmari of the

city.

According to police a huge scam involving disbursement of loans to the farmers took place in the SBI Dadara branch. The accused bank official Sunil Kumar Mishra in connivance with agent Putul Ali siphoned off huge amount of money to the tune of crores of rupees while disbursing loans to the poor farmers under Hajo Revenue Circle in the name of Kisan Credit Card. Police investigation revealed that the farmers were not paid the actual amount sanctioned as loans, instead, the two accused used to keep a lion’s share of the loan amount without the knowledge of the farmers. The gullible farmers could not fathom the conspiracy hatched by the duo. They could realize it only after receiving bank notices for paying the premium for the rest of the amount. Accused bank official Sunil Kumar Mishra was shunted to Guwahati from Dadara following allegations of embezzlement of money. After that victim Junu Sarmah was looking after the department for sanctioning loans. Late Sarmah unearthed the scam while she was looking after the files for replying to an RTI application.

M’laya Court defers verdict on former B’desh minister

Shillong, Oct 15: A lower Court in Meghalaya on Monday deferred its verdict, for the third time, on the former Bangladesh minister Salahuddin Ahmed, who was arrested three years ago for trespassing into India. Earlier, the court had fixed August 13 to deliver its final verdict in the case but it was deferred to September 28 and then to October 15. “The hearing on the matter (verdict in Ahmed’s case) has been deferred due to the absence of the Public Prosecutor,” a court official said on condition of anonymity. They said the matter is listed on October 26. Ahmed, the communications minister during the government of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) leader Khaleda Zia from 2001-06, was arrested on May 1, 2015 from Golflink area here in Meghalaya after people alerted the authorities about his movement in the area. Indian police have registered a case against him under the Foreigners Act on charges of illegally entering India after he failed to produce his travel documents.

He also did not have any papers to prove his identity and citizenship. Ahmed, who is also the member of the National Standing Committee, the highest decision making committee of the BNP, had expressed his eagerness to return to Bangladesh. “I am eager to go back to Bangladesh. I want to go back to my country,” he had said. The 11th national election to elect new members to the Bangladesh parliament will be held this December as the term of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s ruling Awami League party will end in January, 2019. Ahmed, who has been in touch with his party members , said that the BNP and its allies are hopeful to return to power if the pre-conditions set by his party for taking part in the national polls are implemented. The conditions set include freeing Khaleda Zia and party activists, withdrawal of politically motivated cases, dissolution of the current parliament, reconstruction of Election Commission, deployment of military during election period along with administrative power and the elections should be

Meanwhile, speaking to media persons, additional director Higher Education Anungla, who was at the spot, said her office was taken aback seeing the large number of students gathered outside without any prior information. To queries, Anungla informed reporters that except for the English department, the directorate has not received scholarship forms from NU’s eight other departments, including Psychology, Linguistics, Tenyidie, Commerce, Geology, History & Archaeology and Management. She said though the university’s dealing assistant had claimed to have sent Annexure 4 (a document for verification of authenticity of students from the university), the directorate was yet to receive it. Mentioning that the dealing assistant was reportedly on leave and would join only after Durga Puja holidays, Anungla said unless the documents were verified, scholarships could not be released. To queries on misuse of scholarship, she clarified that when the required documents were not even submitted, the question of misuse did not arise. She explained that only after the documents were verified, the director-

Agartala, Oct 15 (IANS): Alcoholic drinks and animals including goat, pigeons and buffaloes are offered as items of sacrifice in a 300-year-old Durga Puja sponsored by the Tripura government. To maintain the royal family’s traditional sanctity, the government has for the past seven decades been bearing the entire expenditure of Durga Puja at the Durgabari temple. The Durgabari temple, established by the erstwhile royal kings, is located in front of the 117-year-old Ujjayanta Palace. The five-day festivity began in Tripura on Monday with ‘Maha Sasthi’ or ‘Bodhan’ - the welcoming of Durga idols. “Tripura is the only state where the government, be it Left or nonLeft, is at the forefront of funding such a Hindu religious festival. The tradition has been going on since Tripura’s merger with the Indian union,” Subhash Das, a writer and a former civil service officer, told IANS. The Tripura merger agreement made it mandatory for the government to continue the sponsorship of temples run by the Hindu princely rulers. A full-fledged division - “Public Place of Worship (PPW)” or “Debarchan Vibhag” - under district magistrates in four of Tripura’s eight districts now bears this responsibility and the entire expenditure of several temples, including that of Durgabari. Before starting the five-day worship of Durga, a procession led by the head priest goes to the palace to seek the consent of the former royal family

conducted under a neutral non-partisan government. “If the elections are held under these conditions, we will join the election and we are hopeful that the BNP and its allies will come back to power,” Ahmed had said. The court had granted him bail on June 5, 2015 with three conditions -- that he should not leave the jurisdiction of the court (the state capital of Meghalaya); he should report at the office of the superintendent of police East Khasi Hills district; and appear before the court. However, the appearance of Ahmed, who went missing from Bangladesh since March 10 this year, in Shillong still remains a mystery as police or the central intelligence agencies are yet to crack how he landed in Shillong. Ahmed’s family had alleged that some men in plainclothes flashing identity cards of the Bangladesh Police Detective Branch picked him up from a house in Dhaka on the night of March 10, 2015. Bangladesh Police have officially denied arresting Ahmed, who was made BNP spokesman weeks before his disappearance.

ate would send a proposal to the ministry, following which the ministry would release the funds and then scholarships would be released accordingly. Meanwhile, another official from the department explained the same and clarified that scholarships were given in instalments as per a directive from the ministry, adding that the department could not override the ministry’s directive and that instalment was not its creation either. Another official suggested that Meriema and Lumami campuses of the university must set up separate scholarship cells as the same problem had been created time and again. He said, once the dealing assistant resumed duty, a meeting would be convened and asked Nagaland University Students’ Union (NUSU) office-bearers to attend it. Meanwhile, the NUSU leaders had a lengthy meeting with some department officials, but refused to comment on its outcome. However, it has been learnt that the students’ body decided to wait for the dealing assistant to resume office on Tuesday and that a meeting has been scheduled for that day.

(From p-1) Mentioning that the business community could not be fooled all the time and that it was aware of its rights, DCCI asked the government to share revenue with DMC borne out of SGST as Nagaland was part of the GST regime, adding that the community would not allow double taxation on goods

viz., GST and item tax by DMC.Stating that the lease system of tax on every item levied by DMC was beyond any reasoning and logic, the trade body asserted that it was “a simple act of daylight robbery” by the municipal body. Meanwhile, DCCI appealed to all business establishments to keep their shops open till late in the evening and on Sundays during festival season to help the public.

Deptt sets target to end nil results in govt schools

(From p-1) mismatch between teachers’ teaching style and students’ learning style was one of the important factors of poor performance in maths. He said the prime objective of the workshop would be to highlight problems of teaching-learning of

mathematics, to introduce constructive approach of teaching-learning, hand-on practices by participants on some selected topics and group discussion and get feedback for further improvement on ready reckoner among others. The programme was chaired

by additional director, Razouzeyi Vese, invocation prayer was given by assistant director Visetnuo, and welcome address was delivered by director school education Wonthunga Tsopoe. Principal secretary school education Menukhol John gave concluding remarks.

Words, assurances...

Rio’s 100 days...

(From p-1) Therefore, NPCC maintained that when BJP Nagaland questions Congress contribution to the state and in the Naga political peace process, it only exposes BJP’s hollowness and bankruptcy of ideas to address issues faced by the state. “The only achievement of BJP is to keep bluffing people and the nation,” Congress stated. Meanwhile, Congress also alleged that all the regional parties in Nagaland today have become the “B team” of BJP and have lost track of governance issues other than “fool the people with assurances of development and peace that is never forthcoming.” Congress affirmed that it would not be deterred in voicing issues of public importance while “exposing BJP’s hollowness and cheap rhetoric manufactured to fool the people of Nagaland.”

(From p-1) Hence, instead of harping on a new Sports Policy that was “nothing short of a money-spinning policy given the past records”, the opposition party said it would do a lot of good to the people if Rio could bring to light the status of five projects amounting to Rs 31.05 crore meant for sports infrastructure development in the State. As the president of Nagaland Olympic Association, Rio must also tell the citizens of Nagaland how he managed to obtain Rs 3.5 crore for conducting the 1st Nagaland Olympics held at Dimapur in 2017, whose total expenses also included giving away awards and providing accommodation, food, transport, etc, to participants.

Superficial change

P

oliticians have this uncanny propensity to believe that changing names of places is an achievement in itself and through it, convince themselves that they have brought so much change that people ought to be deeply grateful and not forget. The latest was the decision of the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh which has decided to rename the famous city of Allahabad as Prayag. The BJP has every reason to justify the decision because the original name of Allahabad was Prayag. It was changed by Mughal emperor Akbar in 1583 and now about 435 years later, the city will be renamed by the UP government under Yogi Adityanath. If by changing the name of Allahabad into Prayag is going to solve all of UP’s myriad problems, then it should be welcomed. However it must be reiterated that changing names of places is no substitute for providing effective law and order, decent housing, hospitals, schools and infrastructure. When politicians have nothing else to show by way of achievements, they resort to this cheap gimmick. Therefore, if they make a habit of changing names without making the real changes that affect people’s lives, then it only exposes the quality of such politicians. There is a wide belief that renaming of places is a ruse by populist politicians to divert attention from the fact that they are doing nothing to improve people’s lives or, worse, are corrupt and inefficient. Even if Prayag is to replace Allahabad, many institutions known by the latter will remind the people about the folly because the old names continue to be used by a determined public, who were never consulted on the matter. Another important aspect is that changing names in all the official and unofficial documents involves a heavy expenditure. The actual expenditure incurred by the state in the change of the name of a city should be made public. Today UP may not be known for the dakus and dacoits of the yesteryears. UP is today known as the state where goons and killers don the khaki uniform. The BJP is not the only political party guilty of resorting to such gimmicks. In the past the government in Karnataka changed the name of Bangalore to Bengaluru while Poona was changed to Pune, Bombay to Mumbai and Calcutta to Kokata. Even Madras was also changed to Chennai and Trivandrum to Thiruvanthipuram. Though other parties renamed cities in order to highlight the original names, the BJP is likely to push for more than just that. In this regard there is every possibility that even Delhi could be renamed as Indrapastha(city of Indira) “thought” to be located somewhere near present day Delhi. The BJP had changed Aurangzeb road to Dr. A.P.J. Kalam road. It may replace most of the ‘Jawaharlal Nehru/Indira Gandhi/ Rajiv Gandhi’ places, or institutes etc into names that find favour with RSS. This name changing syndrome needs to be rationalized through some laid down procedures in order to stop the charade. In many countries cities have both local as well as international names. Rome, Milan and Florence are internationally known but locals call them Roma, Milano and Firenze respectively. So let the local people or the state people call it by their new names, but outside they may be known by the same names.

DailyDevotion The Key to the Missionary’s Message He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. —1 John 2:2 The key to the missionary’s message is the propitiation of Christ Jesus— His sacrifice for us that completely satisfied the wrath of God. Look at any other aspect of Christ’s work, whether it is healing, saving, or sanctifying, and you will see that there is nothing limitless about those. But— “The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”— that is limitless (John 1:29). The missionary’s message is the limitless importance of Jesus Christ as the propitiation for our sins, and a missionary is someone who is immersed in the truth of that revelation. The real key to the missionary’s message is the “remissionary” aspect of Christ’s life, not His kindness, His goodness, or even His revealing of the fatherhood of God to us. “…repentance and remission of sins should be preached…to all nations…” (Luke 24:47). The greatest message of limitless importance is that “He Himself is the propitiation for our sins….” The missionary’s message is not nationalistic, favoring nations or individuals; it is “for the whole world.” When the Holy Spirit comes into me, He does not consider my partialities or preferences; He simply brings me into oneness with the Lord Jesus. A missionary is someone who is bound by marriage to the stated mission and purpose of his Lord and Master. He is not to proclaim his own point of view, but is only to proclaim “the Lamb of God.” It is easier to belong to a faction that simply tells what Jesus Christ has done for me, and easier to become a devotee of divine healing, or of a special type of sanctification, or of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. But Paul did not say, “Woe is me if I do not preach what Christ has done for me,” but, “…woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!” (1 Corinthians 9:16). And this is the gospel— “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”

Quotes

Avoid popularity; it has many snares, and no real benefit. ~ William Penn

A

few months ago, a young woman went to her doctor in New York. Her toenails had gradually blackened over six months and fallen off. No one in her family had abnormal toenails and she had no diseases, no injuries, nor a family history of nail disorders. During the tests it was discovered that she had had a fish pedicure six months ago. The fish had caused injury to the nail matrix, which is the nail growth centre. This led to a nasty case of onychomadesis, in which the nail plates that make up the toenail halt production and separate, causing her nails to fall off. The condition can cause deep grooves to run horizontally across the nails, or large gaps where there is no nail. The case has been. reported in JAMA Dermatology. This is not the only problem fish pedicures have caused. Fish pedicures have transmitted Staphylococcus aureus and mycobacteriosis infections. Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium which is a common cause of infections, that range from minor skin infections, such as pimples, boils, cellutitis, folliculitis, carbuncles, and abscesses, to life-threatening diseases such as pneumonia, meningitis, osteomvelitis, endocarditis, toxic shock syndrome, bacteremia, and sepsis. An estimated 20% to 30% of the human population are long-term carriers of S. aureus. It can cause skin

and soft-tissue infections, particularly when the skin has been breached. It can spread through contact with pus from an infected wound, skin-to-skin contact with an infected person, and contact with objects used by an infected person. S. aureus can lie dormant in the body for years. Once symptoms begin to show, if untreated, the disease can be deadly. Once the bacteria have entered the bloodstream, they can infect various organs. Without antibiotic treatment, S. aureus bacteremia has a fatality rate around 80%. With antibiotic treatment, case fatality rates range from 15% to 50% depending on the age and health of the patient – but the bacterium is now almost antibiotic resistant. Mycobacteriosis is a chronic disease that occurs in fish reared under intensive conditions. Temperatures between 25 ̊C and 35 ̊C are ideal for the bacteria. In the last decade there has been a steady increase in the frequency of Mycobacterium marinum infections in cultured fish, and human cases associated with fish aquaria have been seen all over the world. In fish, transmission can occur by consumption of contaminated feed, aquatic detritus, or entry via injuries, skin abrasions or external parasites. In humans, breaks in the skin serve as an entry point for the organism during contact with contaminated

Nagaland Post, Dimapur TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2018

Use pumice stone water sources, or infected fish and injury from fish fins or bites. Mycobacteriosis infection most commonly manifests as a skin disease. Lesions tend to be noticed two to four weeks after exposure to the mycobacterium. The lesions swell and develop into ulcers which persist for months. In some instances, infection spreads to the lymph nodes. The skin, kidney, and liver are the main body parts affected in both fish and humans. Diagnosis can be difficult and is often delayed, and by then the infection has spread, causing considerable damage to tendons and bone. Deep infections typically require both antibiotic and surgical treatment. Skin lesions can be chronic and leave scarring. Deep infections can lead to the loss of joint mobility, and severe cases may need amputation. I had written about the dangers of fish pedicures two years ago, but India has still got dozens of parlours offering the service. I have just returned from Goa where the main tourist areas have small shady shacks advertising

fish pedicures. During a fish pedicure, people immerse their feet in a tub of water that contains small fish called Garra rufa. These fish supposedly pull out dead skin from the customer’s feet, exfoliating them as the customer relaxes and enjoys the tickle. These fish are specially grown in tanks and they are imported into India. This is a typical case of “ aa bail mujhe maar” - inviting a problem when you have none. These little fish are not doctors, cosmetologists or inanimate loofahs. They eat human flesh because they are starved of their normal diet, which is plankton or vegetable matter. The fish themselves are so mistreated by this unhealthy diet that outbreaks of systemic bacterial infections in the animals are common, causing abnormal eye protrusions and haemorrhaging around the gills, mouth, and abdomen. They carry bacteria responsible for a variety of dangerous tissue infections and the tubs in which you put your feet are a fertile breeding ground. They excrete like all living beings,

and this excreta is what you put your feet into. Government warnings across the world have warned people that fish pedicures may even cause Hepatitis C and HIV. Since they are not cosmetic surgeons, their biting results in bumpy uneven skin, and some areas are bitten deep enough to draw blood. Their nibbling of human feet could spread harmful microbes from one spa guest’s feet to the next. The hot water tub that you place your feet in is re-used, as are the fish and fungi, and disease-causing bacteria have been detected at fish pedicure spas. The mouths of the living fish cannot be cleaned or sterilized. The fish tanks are also not cleaned very often, or the water altered frequently enough. Obviously, all this increases the risk of spreading infection. These are the reasons that fish spas have been banned in many countries. In 2011 and 2012, the Fish Health Directorate of Great Britain intercepted five different shipments of Garra rufa fish from Indonesia, bound for U.K. spas, and tested them for bacteria. They found that all the fish carried a number of harmful bacteria, including Aeromonas spp, Vibrio vulnificus, Vibrio cholerae and Streptococcus agalactiae, which can cause skin and soft-tissue infections. The strains were resistant to most antimicrobial medications, including tetracycline, gentamicin, neomycin and streptomy-

cin. V. vulnificus can cause wound infections and primary septicaemia, resulting in high mortality rates, especially among persons with liver disease, diabetes, or impaired immune function. S. agalactiae is a common cause of skin and soft tissue infections, especially in older adults and those with chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus . The findings appear in Emerging Infectious Diseases, a journal published by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, which has been monitoring health effects associated with fish pedicures. In 2014, researchers from Italy reported cases of customers developing foot infections caused by the Staphylococcus aureus bacterium. Since then infections have been reported in Great Britain, according to the Health Protection Agency. In the absence of any regulation in India, shady shops have sprung up online which sell garra rufa fish. No one knows how they have been able to import them. I saw an ad of a Mumbai shop, Pedifish, which sells “fish spa” fish at Rs 8, and Rs 40 for grarra rufa hybrids. They take orders of a minimum of 1000 “pieces” – which shows you how little they know, or care, about fish. If you want to clean your feet use a pumice stone not a live fish.

Post-mortem

W

hat I overheard from the pioneers who formed the present Naga Hoho was for the common platform for the Naga public of Nagaland, and its nomenclature was Naga Tribes Summit. Consequently, along with the adoption of its Constitution, the nomenclature was changed to Naga Hoho. Since reconciliation amongst the NNPGs was one of the major concerns of Naga Hoho, a liaison with United Naga Council of Manipur (UNC) was felt necessary. Accordingly, a single representative representing UNC to Naga Hoho was accommodated. More than the official representative from UNC to attend Naga Hoho meetings used to be on invitation only. This was how the common platform started. At later stage, restructuring of Naga Hoho took place enabling UNC units to have equal representation in Hoho. There was mixed feeling as to whether such arrangement was advisable or not, and how the erstwhile TMPO volunteered to get ejected from the platform was the history of Naga Hoho from 1994 till date. When that restructuring took place, there was much fanfare too believing that the common political journey of the Nagas would now be effectively synchronized by this platform, and that the Nagas as a whole could be brought together as a people than ever before. In the process, much water was allowed to flow beneath the carpet. As layman watching the games in the gallery as to how Hoho used to handle the affairs of the Nagas and how gullible has been the Hoho in abusively committing follies. Metaphorically, the Naga Hoho is similar to that of a hefty strong person with robust health. Yet, the addiction of the fellow is gluttony. His daily chore is binge drinking, eating and revelry. The opulence and carefree lifestyle overtook better of the health of once a robust person. Due to excessive consumption of alcohol and food much more than what his body required, the health started failing with one ailment after another. Ultimately, the once strong person could no longer withstand the multiple attacks of

Naga Hoho is in ICU internal vital parts failures and had to be admitted in hospital. The patient is diagnosed to have serious complications and has to be treated in ICU. Despite of the best efforts of the physicians, the patient’s health deteriorated and fell into coma. Naga Hoho has been suffering from terminal disease for a long time. The cause of ailment was that the Naga Hoho allowed itself to be hijacked by the rich and powerful people who transformed the Hoho into the mere mouthpiece of those drivers. The drivers did not like the Hoho to become the democratically healthy organization. The drivers exploited it to their whims and fancies believing that such manipulative maneuvers would fetch desired dividends. Thus, for years together the Hoho has been dominated by sole sycophants who do the errands of the rich and the powerful as ‘Yes, boss’ Hoho. To great extent, the hero-worshipped Hoho served its masters possibly to the fullest satisfaction of the latter at the cost of its principles, image and public confidence. A new tradition was reportedly practiced in Hoho that its competent Executive used to take decisions on issues whereas aftermath few top brasses of the Hoho used to issue official statements contrary to collective decisions so taken. The voice of Hoho therefore became less relevant as it is considered one sided. Such being the tradition for extended period of time, it became more of a private company rather than the forum of the Naga public. Such manipulations intensely irked the conscientious and right thinking people and thereby massive erosion of the base of Hoho started. The major tribal members from Nagaland have now deserted Naga Hoho citing different reasons. Presently, out of 8 tribes from Nagaland, 6 tribes are no more with Naga Hoho. Yet, by the figure of tribal representation, the Hoho still has two/third majority as it has 16 tribes of UNC members including 2 tribes (I have not heard the withdrawal) from Nagaland. If not for equitable participation of tribes from States, with or without the

membership of those deserters rejoining the Hoho, it has the requisite two/third majority figure technically speaking. Another observation is that the present Naga Hoho President Chuba Ozukum was cited to be the reason why few tribes from Nagaland announced their disassociation. Well, those disgruntling tribal members knew it better how dismal was/were the performance(s) of the Hoho president which disappointed the units. Nevertheless, those tribal units perhaps realized that Chuba can continue in office till his term is over as he commands at least 16 tribes which is two/third majority out of total 24 units. Also, Chuba is wearing the same gown handed over to him by his predecessor for usual ritualistic performances. On 27.9.2018 a local daily published the statement of UNC terming the desertion of tribal units from Hoho to be a departure from ‘unity and fraternity of the Nagas’. The language implies that those Naga tribes from Nagaland who left Naga Hoho as though responsible for Naga disunity. Such calculation is premature. Primarily, the causes of discontentment of rebelling units have to be understood first as to whether such displeasures are justified for one to leave. Whereas, without such botheration, UNC had the temerity to indict those units is found emotional and irrational too. Rather, I feel that UNC must be grateful to Nagas of Nagaland by acknowledging how much logistic backups Naga Hoho has been enjoying out of the magnanimity of Nagaland all these years. Nagas of Nagaland do understand the hardships being faced by Nagas of Manipur under the dominion of powerful Meites, and for which self-defensive measures are natural as having an exclusive Naga forum as UNC. Meanwhile, UNC may have to realize that its attitude of anti-similar forum in Nagaland as though Nagas of Nagaland have no right to have such common platform is selfish and double standard. Such attitude has its share of boomerang. Therefore, UNC’s comment does tantamount to blame game which is unwarranted. Whatever said and done,

now the question arises as to whether Nagas must have a common platform or not. Nagas, irrespective of territorial barriers, need to have a common platform as Naga Hoho obviously. Nevertheless, pre-conditions for the desired and formidable forum are: a) Except the indigenous Naga tribes, no adulterated unit be allowed to be a unit member. If otherwise, better not have it. b) The Hoho has to be perfectly neutral, transparent and be bereft of traditional sycophancy. It has to worship none and mistreats none. c) Representational disparity be replenished with proportionate representation in view of a tribe having 5000 population is not equal to that of another having 100000 population. d) Only people of God fearing, of caliber and of integrity be deputed to Hoho by respective apex bodies of each State for induction as office bearers. Purchase able and sycophantic element be never projected. e) The Hoho must have the strength to spell out what is truth and what is false. Likewise, it should have the courage to uphold who is right and reprimand and correct who is wrong Presently Naga Hoho is in total disarray. With the 16 or 18 tribal units if Naga Hoho is reconstituted, it will not recover from the illness. Such haphazard Hoho so formed may pass away sooner than later. Also, when Naga Hoho goes for reconstitution, it may not necessarily be confined to Nagaland and Manipur alone. Rather, Nagas from Arunachal and Assam may have to be taken on board. Not long ago, Nagas in Arunachal had no common platform, but today they have their forum. Nevertheless, the ground preparation requires time with the objective being to have such forum out of consensus. If so, the existing controversial team of Naga Hoho may not be able to stir and bring the Nagas together under their leadership. So long the patient remains in ICU, the question of having refurbished forum cannot arise. The only option is to treat the patient with euthanasia so as to pave way for fresh arrangement with renewed vigor. It is advisable for the existing team not to insist on wearing oversize shoes. Z.

Obey traffic rules

Sir,

Traffic rules should be obeyed by one and all even during emergency rush. Just because one is driving an SUV does not give that person the right to cut across others already stuck in traffic jam. Sometimes accidents happen when a driver tries to overtake unnecessarily at turnings without a care of oncoming vehicle from the other side. It is not only the traffic police that should keep the rules in check but the driving public as well. While in the driver’s seat please be patient during rush hours so other lives are safe as well as your own. Watilemba Pongener, Duncan, Dimapur

MON/MOKOKCHUNG, OCT 15 (NPN): Along with the rest of the country, women farmers of Mon celebrated “Mahila Kisan Diwas-2018” in Mon Town on October 15, with Eyongol Natso, project director, Agricultural Technology Management Agency (ATMA) Mon as the special guest at the inaugural program. The program was organised by ATMA Mon. Speaking at the program, the project director, stated that womenfolk have always been the driving force in farming, and encouraged the formation of Farmer Interest Groups (FIG), and Food Security Groups (FSG). Emphasizing on the importance of hard work, he said “nothing can substitute hard work”. He also advised the gathering to “Pray more, work more and don’t be lazy, for laziness brings poverty.” Speaking on the “Role of Women Farmers in Agriculture”, N Subenthung Odyuo, deputy project director, reported that more than 60% farmers were women. He opined that women were the backbone of agriculture. Odyuo also spoke on the importance of Farmers Groups, which he said, creates a farmer collective that can tackle problems collectively. Later in the technical session, training the farmers on production technology of mushrooms, Leiwang Konyak, ATM, Angjangyang, laid emphasis on the importance of mushroom as an off season crop. In another training session, resource person, Mhachamo Ngullie discussed the importance of book keeping and record maintenance for

Farmers Groups in the interests of transparency and proper group management. The program ended with a vote of thanks by Roseline Pusa. Mokokchung: Women Farmers’ Day was celebrated, Monday, at the Mokokchung Municipal Complex, organized jointly by ATMA in coordination with Agri & Allied Departments, Watsu Mungdang, NSRLM, NABARD and SBI, Mokokchung with Deputy Commissioner, Mokokchung, Sachin Jaiswal, as special invitee. While delivering his speech, Sachin Jaiswal stated that due to the absence of major industries, the North East depends on the rural economy, where agriculture plays an important role. Therefore, he said that farmers needed to be more proactive in producing in bulk by availing various schemes provided by NABARD. Sachin Jaiswal said that the only way to solve the marketing problem was bulk production. At the same

time, he said that the farmers should cooperate with the banking sector giving and taking sincerely. He said, banks exist to offer loans and that the borrowers must also return the loans in time for progressive returns. While congratulating the recipients of the District Level Women Farmer Award & District Level Best Women Farmer Group Award, Jaiswal, urged the 16 women beneficiaries of the credit support facilities provided through NABARD and State Bank of India, Mokokchung to be sincere role models for future beneficiaries. Farm products of 16 women farmer groups and individuals from villages were exhibited for sale (Mahila Kisan Mela) and a seminar on ‘Strengthening Women Farmers in Mokokchung’, was conducted, as part of the celebration The felicitation of the Women Farmers and Farmer Groups was conducted by deputy PD ATMA, Mokokchung, Rongsennungla Im-

chen while the vote of thanks was proposed by DAO & PD ATMA, Nungsangkaba. Welcome note was delivered by joint director, SARS, Yisemyong, Temsulenla and the function was conducted by AHO & BTT convenor, ATMA OS Block, Dr. Imchalemla.

Gupta demanded augmentation of the flow of credit to the export sector, as a sharp decline in credit when exports are growing at the double-digit does not augur well for the future.

New Delhi, Oct 15 (PTI): India’s exports entered the negative zone after five months, contracting 2.15 per cent in September to USD 27.95 billion mainly due to the base impact even though trade deficit narrowed to a five-month low. According to the commerce ministry data, imports in September grew by 10.45 per cent to USD 41.9 billion as against USD 37.9 billion in September 2017. The trade deficit, or the gap between imports and exports, stood at USD 13.98 billion in the last month. During April-August 2018-19, exports recorded a growth of 12.54 per cent. Imports during the period rose by 16.16 per cent, leaving a trade deficit of USD 94.32 billion in the first half of the current fiscal. Exports were on the rise since April, after de-

On Friday, the rupee had zoomed 55 paise to 73.57, marking the biggest jump in over three weeks. Unabated foreign fund outflows also dragged down the domestic currency. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) sold shares to tune of Rs 1,322 crore Friday, provisional data showed. Forex traders believe the weakness in rupee was owing to rising crude oil prices. Moreover, subdued trend at other Asian markets, following worries over Sino-US trade disputes, a possible slowdown in the Chinese economy and signs of tighter monetary policy by the US Federal Reserve also had an impact on the trading sentiment.

Exports enter negative zone, dips 2.1% in Sept

Mumbai, Oct 15 (PTI): The rupee snapped its threesession gaining streak to end 26 paise lower at 73.83 against the US dollar Monday after crude prices rose amid intensifying geopolitical tensions. Dealers said a spurt in dollar demand from importers dragged down the domestic currency. At the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex), the rupee opened lower at 73.80 and lost further ground to hit an intra-day low of 74.07 against the US dollar on strong demand for the American currency from importers. However, the rupee clawed back some lost ground and finally settled the day at 73.83, down by 26 paise, posting its first loss after three consecutive days of gain at the interbank foreign exchange market. “Rupee continued to be under pressure as oil prices started to move-up due to sudden spurt in tension between the US and Saudi Arabia,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services.

New Delhi, Oct 15 (PTI): Gold prices Monday bounced back by Rs 200 to Rs 32,250 per 10 grams at the bullion market on the back of positive global trend and fresh buying by local jewellers. Silver followed suit and recovered by Rs 350 to Rs 39,750 per kg due to increased offtake from industrial units and coin makers. Traders attributed the rise in gold prices to a firm trend overseas as Asian stocks eased due to concerns about a potential decline in China’s economic growth amid an ongoing trade war and signs of tighter monetary policy by the US Federal Reserve. Globally, gold rose 0.53 per cent to USD 1,225 an ounce and silver by 0.48 per cent to USD 14.75 an ounce in Singapore Monday. Besides, increased buying by local jewellers at domestic spot market to meet festive season demand, also fuelled the uptrend.

On Monday, sources said the government is not in favour of extending the deadline for RBI’s data localisation plan. “The government is also not in favour of the data-mirroring idea,” they added.

Al Falih said that Saudi Arabia had invested tens of billions of dollars to build its spare production capacity. “Given the disruptions that have taken place, oil would be easily in the threedigit range had it not been for the extra efforts the kingdom had done. “We have invested tens of billions of dollars to build spare capacity of 2-3 million barrels per day over years. That is equivalent to the production capacity of major producers.”

New Delhi, Oct 15 (IANS): Saudi Arabia said on Monday that it expects its oil production to rise next month from the current 10.7 million barrels per day (mbpd) and it has the required capacity in place to do so. Saudi Petroleum Minister Khalid Al Falih’s remarks to reporters here on the sidelines of the India Energy Forum organised by CERAWeek came in the backdrop volatile crude oil prices and with the US sanctions on Iran due to come into effect from November 4. Earlier on Monday, Al Falih met Prime Minister Narendra Modi along with Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. “Saudi Arabia has the capacity to produce 12 million bpd and is currently producing 10.7 million bpd and production will rise further next month,” Al Falih said.

New Delhi, Oct 15 (IANS): With the government on Monday refusing to relax the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) October 15 deadline for data localisation, the road ahead has become tough for global digital payment providers who have sought more time to comply with the guidelines. The RBI guidelines say that all digital payment firms like Google Pay, WhatsApp and others must store data locally for their businesses in the country. The deadline to comply with the norms ended on Monday. In a statement, WhatsApp said that in India, almost 1 million people are testing WhatsApp payments to send money to each other in a simple and secure way. “In response to India’s payments data circular, we’ve built a system that stores payments-related data locally in India,” a WhatsApp spokesperson told IANS. “WhatsApp payment

Flash floods kill 13 people in France

PARIS, Oct 15 (AGENCIES): Flash floods tore through towns in southwest France, turning waterways into raging torrents that killed at least 13 people, nine of them in just one town, authorities said Monday. People had to be helicoptered to safety from the roofs of their homes as overnight storms dumped the equivalent of several months of rain in just a few hours. Worst hit was the town

of Trebes, east of the medieval walled city of Carcassonne. The rains that swept in from the Mediterranean killed nine people there, Interior Ministry spokesman Frederic de Lanouvelle said. He told BFMTV that the floods in the Aude region also killed four other people in other locations, left one person missing and seriously injured five others. In the town of Vil-

legailhenc, witness Ines Siguet said the waters rose so quickly that people were stranded on the roofs of their homes and had to be helicoptered to safety. She posted video of a ripped-up road where a bridge used to be, torn away by a flood torrent that cut the town in half. “There’s nothing left. There’s just a hole,” the 17year-old resident told The Associated Press. “It was

very violent.” Other roads also were flooded, leaving the town cut off, she said. Siguet’s school was shut down amid the destruction. Two people were killed in the town, according to the Aude regional government. Alain Thirion, the prefect of Aude, said some of the dead appeared to have been swept away by floodwaters. In the town of Conques-sur-Orbiel, the river rose by more than six meters (20 feet), he said. Floodwaters were in some cases too powerful for emergency services to get through, even on boats, he said. Te l ev i s i o n i m a ge s showed waters coursing through towns and villages, with cars stranded in the floods and piled up on top of each other like children’s toys. The French government rushed hundreds of rescue workers into the flood zone and helicopters buzzed overhead. Schools were closed and authorities were urging people to stay home.

Taiwan invites Pope to visit after Vatican-China pact Taipei, Oct 15 (IANS): Taiwan has invited Pope Francis to visit the island in an attempt to strengthen diplomatic ties with the Vatican following the latter’s landmark agreement with China over the appointment of bishops. Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen said on Monday that Vice-President Chen Chien-jen, who is in the Vatican to attend the canonization of various saints, officially invited the Pope, Efe news reported. In a message on her Facebook page, the leader said the invitation was made on behalf of her and the people of Taiwan, which has around 300,000 Catholics, approximately 1.5 per cent of its population. Tsai also said that her government would take active and concrete measures to support the Pope’s efforts to spread the values of freedom, justice and peace throughout the world.

Romanian govt move against prosecutors draws criticism BUCHAREST, Oct 15 (AGENCIES): Romania’s government passed an emergency ordinance Monday requiring prosecutors in key agencies to have more years of experience — a move that prosecutors say would hamper current investigations and force some anti-corruption prosecutors from their jobs. The move came on the same day that Justice Minister Tudorel Toader nominated a candidate to be the country’s next chief anticorruption prosecutor who a Romanian judicial body said was unfit for the job. Toader said chief prosecutors for the anti-corruption agency and the agency that investigates organized crime will need a minimum of 15 years’ experience, almost double the current requirement. Regular prosecutors at the agencies will need at least 10 years on the job, up from eight years. Analysts said some prosecutors will lose their jobs under the new regulation.

General Prosecutor Augustin Lazar said the measure would hamper many ongoing investigations, including a probe into Romania’s bloody 1989 anti-communist revolution and an investigation into the police’s response to an anti-corruption protest in August, which left 450 people needing medical treatment. “It’s difficult to see how these cases will be finalized,” Lazar said, adding disrupting prosecutions could lead to the European

Court of Human Rights making judgments against Romania. The Public Ministry, which has authority over Romania’s courts and prosecutors’ offices, also criticized the measure, saying that it risked “blocking (prosecutions) and making it impossible to finalize very important cases.” U.S. Ambassador Hans G. Klemm recently said Romania’s justice system was being “dismantled” by lawmakers with “vested interests.

Nagaland Post, Dimapur TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2018

SOU Phek seeks clarification from AR DIMAPUR: Suthotsumi Outsiders Union (SOU) Phek Town has sought a clarification from the Assam Rifles on the arrest of Nellie Vero of Suthotsumi village under Phek district at Kohima on October 10, who was remanded to the custody of North Police Station Kohima on a “false allegation.” A press release appended by SOU Phek Town president, Veshetso Chizo and general secretary, Zashevo Vero sought clarification from 9 Assam Rifles Kohima for arresting one of its innocent citizens based on “false report of some individual betrayal.” It stated that 9 AR may have the power to arrest but it should refrain from resorting to taking hasty actions without first verifying meticulously any report. The union stated that Neilie Vero, after being released on completion of his conviction term of one and a half years, was no more an NSCN (K) cadre nor does he belong to any factional group. It asserted that the accused was now a mere public living peacefully in the village since his release. The union claimed that the innocence of Vero was proven when he was picked up empty handed, as per the eye witnesses around at the time of his arrest. It termed the arrest as absurd, and appealed to the concerned authority to release him unharmed at the earliest.

The district agriculture office conducted a series of training sessions in selected clusters of Chumukedima village, Shokhuvi, Pimala, Zutovi and Lhothavi on the management of organic farm/farming and FIG under the program of mission organic value chain development for NER. (DIPR)

The journalist organisations pointed out that sexual harassment at workplace was a “worrisome reality” and that media organisations and managements had been unable to put the systems in place to address this problem. “Sexual harassment at the workplace is a pervasive phenomenon. It has continued with impunity despite the enactment of a tough law to prevent, prohibit and redress it. The in-

ability of women to speak out about such harassment needs serious introspection and redress.

Datia (MP), Oct 15 (IANS): Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Monday exuded confidence that the party will return to power in Madhya Pradesh and tore into Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his “empty slogans” that he said have not helped farmers, women and small traders. “The government that the Congress will form in the state will be responsive to farmers, small traders, women, and party workers,” Gandhi said at a public meeting here. The Congress has been out of power since 2004 and is keen on dislodging the Shivraj Singh Chouhan-

Later speaking at the the India Energy Forum, the Saudi oil minister said Modi at the meeting raised issue of “consumer pain” from high crude oil prices. “We heard it today loud and clear from prime minister (about consumer pain),” Al-Falih said.

Satna (MP), Oct 15 (PTI): BJP chief Amit Shah on Monday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has ensured that triple talaq has no place in the country despite facing opposition from the Congress which “never cared” for the honour of Muslim women. Shah was addressing an event, where a sizeable number of Muslim women were in attendance, ahead of the November 28 Assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh. “The Congress never cared for the honour of Muslim mothers and sisters. It has no courage to deal with issues like triple talaq. Despite stiff opposition from the Congress, (Prime Minister) Modi has ensured that it (triple talaq) has no place in the country,” Shah said. The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Ordinance was promulgated on September 19 under which instant triple talaq has been declared illegal and punishable with a jail term of three years for the husband. Shah said the BJP has encouraged women not just by words but by giving them important responsibilities, including as defence and external affairs ministers ministers, governors and chief ministers.

He, however, said the “pain” would have been “much louder” but the action by Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest exporter of oil, to invest in creating spare capacity has used to cushion price shocks. “Prime minister cautioned producers like myself not to kill hen that lays golden egg, he said referring to consumers are the golden hen,” Al-Falih added. Speaking at the same conference, Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said India is “facing severe headwinds from rising oil prices” which have risen by 50 percent in dollar terms and 70 percent in rupee term in last one year. The meeting, which was also attended by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and NITI Aayog vice chairman Rajiv Kumar, was called to discuss emerging energy scenario particularly ripples from US sanctions on Iran and volatile oil prices threatening growth.

led BJP government in the state. The state goes to polls on November 28. Gandhi, on a two-day visit of Madhya Pradesh ahead of next month’s Assembly polls, reiterated his promise that the Congress, if elected, will waive off farm loans within 10 days of government formation. He also promised to open a food processing unit in every district where farmers can profitably sell their produce. He mocked the Prime Minister and the ruling BJP for paying lip service to the cause of women’s safety. “When BJP MLA (Kuldeep Singh Sengar) rapes a girl in Unnao, the UP Chief Minister and the Prime Minister tried to save him. Neither was he expelled from the party nor did the PM speak a word about him. The actual slogan should be ‘Beti Padhao aur Beti ko BJP ke MLA se Bachao’ (Educate your daughter and save her from BJP MLA),” Gandhi said.

NEW DELHI, OCT 15 (AGENCIES): Prime Minister Narendra Modi Monday warned oil producers like Saudi Arabia that higher crude prices are hurting global economic growth and they should do more to bring down rates to reasonable levels. At the third annual brainstorming meeting with chief executives of top global and Indian oil and gas companies, Modi flagged concerns of consuming nations like India over high crude oil prices that have already sent retail petrol, diesel and LPG rates to record highs, sources with direct knowledge of the development said. With Saudi Oil Minister Khalid A Al-Falih listening, the prime minister said crude oil prices at a fouryear high was hurting global growth, causing inflation and upsetting budgets of developing countries like India.

filed a criminal defamation suit against journalist Priya Ramani for levelling allegations of sexual harassment, Ramani said Akbar is trying to “silence” the voices “through intimidation and harassment”. Ramani is one of the many women who, in the raging #MeToo campaign, have accused Akbar of sexually harassing them in the capacity of the Editor of The Asian Age and other publications. “I am deeply disappointed that a Union Minister should dismiss the detailed allegations of several women as a political conspiracy. By instituting a case of criminal defamation against me, Akbar has made his stand clear,” Ramani said in a statement that she shared on the social media. insisted that she Akbar trying to crush wouldShefight allegations of truth: Priya Ramani defamation as “truth and After Union Minister absolute truth is my only M.J.

chorus for his ouster as the Minister of State for External Affairs. Countering the charges, Akbar claimed that false and defamatory statements which were widely published in the media had caused irreparable loss to his reputation. Akbar’s complaint was filed in the Patiala House court complex. Akbar has sought Ramani’s prosecution under Section 500 (defamation) of the Indian Penal Code. He alleged that Ramani wilfully, deliberately, intentionally and maliciously defamed him by making a completely false and frivolous statement which has harmed his goodwill and reputation within the political fraternity, media, friends, family, colleagues and society at large.

New Delhi, Oct 15 (IANS): Expressing “deep disappointment” at Union Minister M.J. Akbar’s threat of legal action against complainants alleging sexual harassment at his hands, journalist bodies on Monday said the Minister must step down for the sake of an impartial probe into the matter. “In the interests of a fair probe, moral and public propriety, it would only be appropriate that the Minister steps down from his post till such time as the inquiry is completed,” the Press Club of India, Indian Women Press Corps, South Asian Women in Media and the Press Association said in a joint statement on Monday. “We are disappointed that Akbar did not choose to take this step (resigning) instead of threatening the complainants with legal action,” it added. The joint statement said the need for an impartial probe into all the complaints “without fear

With the fresh declaration by the chief minister on Saturday, the proposal will now be presented before the cabinet for approval and will then be forwarded to the governor. However, governor Ram Naik had already given his nod to the proposal at the meeting of the Kumbh Margdarshak Mandal on Saturday. Welcoming the move, Allahabad University’s medieval and modern history department head Prof Yogeshwar Tiwari said Mughal Emperor Akbar named the city ‘Ilahabas’ in 1574 which later came to be known as Ilahabad and then Allahabad. However, the city has been mentioned as Prayag in ‘ancient sacred texts such as ‘puranas’, ‘Valmiki Ramayan’, Mahabharat and manuscripts of Kalidas, he said, adding the change will help the new generation to understand the history of the city better.

A l l a h a b a d, O c t 15 (AGENCIES): Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath’s announcement of changing the name of Allahabad to Prayagraj has received a mixed reaction from intellectuals, teachers, literary persons, lawyers and politicians in the Sangam city. While many have welcomed the move, others are calling it a political gimmick just before the Lok Sabha elections. Saints and seers have however hailed the announcement, maintaining that the name has not been changed but the ancient place has been given its original name. The Akhada Parishad had raised the issue of changing the city’s name last year at a meeting with Adiyanath and he had promised to fulfill their demand by the Kumbh Mela 2019. There had been attempts to change Allahabad’s name to Prayag during the previous Bharatiya Janata Party governments headed by Rajanath Singh and Kalyan Singh in the

any woman in the banned age group turned up at the temple, they would be doing it only for publicity. Kannur resident Reshma Nishant told the media on Monday that she was fully geared to travel to the temple. “I am undertaking all the penance for the visit. When I made my intent known on social media, a section abused me while another section applauded me. I am a Communist and at the same time a believer in God,” she said. At the temple town, the board which says that entry is banned for women between aged between 10 and 50 has not been removed. Meanwhile, senior CPI-M leader and Industries Minister E.P. Jayarajan told the media on Monday that the Kerala government was duty bound to abide by the apex court directive.

New Delhi, Oct 15 (AGENCIES): Congress leader Shashi Tharoor Monday alleged the media had distorted his views on the Ram temple issue, while stressing that he had expressed a personal opinion and not the party’s stand. “I condemn the malicious distortion of my words by some media in the service of political masters. I had said, ‘Most Hindus would want a temple at what they believe to be Ram’s birthplace. But no good Hindu would want it to be built by destroying another’s place of worship’.” “I was asked for my personal opinion at a literary festival and gave it as such. I am not a spokesperson for my party and did not claim to be speaking for it,” he said in a series of tweets. Tharoor had kicked up a row with his remarks at a literary event in Chennai Saturday that no “good Hindu” would favour a Ram temple in Ayodhya by demolishing somebody else’s place of worship, drawing stinging criticism from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) which dubbed his party and its chief Rahul Gandhi “anti- Hindu”. Union minister Prakash Javadekar said that he was “astonished” to know that Tharoor believes that “true Hindus don’t want a Ram temple in Ayodhya”.

Lobo suffered multiple fractures in her legs and was rushed to the Nanavati Hospital where she is being treated, the airline said. Owing to the incident, the flight AI-864, scheduled to take off at 7 am, got delayed by about oneand-a-half hours.

T h i ru va na n thapuram, Oct 15 (IANS): With the Sabarimala Hindu temple set to open on Wednesday for monthly puja, Kerala BJP President P.S. Sreedharan Pillai warned the Left government to resolve the issue of women visitors or face “severe consequences”. The BJP, RSS, Congress and Hindu groups are up in arms against a September 28 Supreme Court ruling lifting the ban on entry of women in the 10-50 age group into the temple, saying it will breach age-old traditions. Pillai, who led a huge protest from Pandalam on Monday, told the gathering of women and others in front of the state Secretariat here that if the Pinarayi Vijayan government failed to find a solution to the controversy, “then things will be bad”. “ We g ive him 24 hours to resolve the issue. If he fails to do it, then he should be prepared to see a different type of protest from us. We will make it very clear that we are not trying to make political capital through this campaign,” said Pillai. Meanwhile, the Travancore Devasom Board (TDB), the custodian of the temple, said that if

was still on in the case. The court, however, granted him conditional bail considering the fact that investigation in the case was almost over. Fellow nuns of the victimised nun, who had staged public protest in Kochi seeking the bishop’s arrest, expressed concern over the “speedy bail” of the accused, saying Bishop Mulakkal was very powerful who can influence the witnesses in the case even if he stays outside the state. They said there was a security threat for them and there was no guarantee that they would be alive tomorrow. Welcoming the decision, a Jalandhar diocese spokesperson said, “Thanks to the God.” Without elaborating, he said the case was under

the consideration of the court and “let the court decide”. The bishop was arrested on September 21 after intense interrogation over the last three days. The Vatican had relieved him “temporarily” of all pastoral responsibilities as the bishop of the Jalandhar diocese of the Missionaries of Jesus congregation to which the alleged victim also belongs. The nun had accused the clergyman of repeatedly raping and having unnatural sex with her between 2014 and 2016. In her complaint to the Kottayam Police in June, the nun had alleged that Bishop Mulakkal raped her at a guest house in Kuravilangad in May 2014 and later sexually exploited her on several occasions. The nun said she had to approach the police as church authorities did not act on her repeated complaints against the clergyman. However, Mulakkal has denied the charges as “baseless and concocted,” insisting she levelled those as the Catholic order had rejected her demand for favours.

Kochi/Kottayam, Oct 15 (PTI): The Kerala High Court Monday granted conditional bail to Roman Catholic Bishop Franco Mulakkal, three weeks after he was arrested over allegations of repeatedly raping and sexually assaulting a nun. Granting the bail, Justice Raja Vijayaraghavan directed the accused to leave Kerala and surrender his passport. However, he has been directed to appear before the probe officer once in two weeks on Saturdays. This condition would be applicable till a charge sheet is filed in the case. Earlier on October 3, the high court had dismissed the bail plea of the clergyman while accepting the prosecution argument that the accused, holding a high position in the society, would try to influence witnesses in the case, if given bail. The 54-year-old bishop, currently lodged in a sub-jail in Pala in Kottayam district, moved the high court again after a magistrate court extended his judicial remand. Police opposed the bail application of Mulakkal, saying investigation

Donald Trump: Climate change scientists have ‘political agenda’

Khashoggi case: search continues

I s ta n bu l , O c t 1 5 (AGENCIES): Turkish and Saudi officials will comb through the insides of the Saudi consulate building in Istanbul on Monday – where activist Jamal Khashoggi was last seen and feared to have been killed – as speculation continues to grow surrounding his whereabouts. An official at the Turkish Foreign Ministry told the Associated Press that the joint “inspection” will be carried out in the late afternoon today, nearly two weeks after Khashoggi was last seen entering the consulate and about one week after Turkish officials demanded access to it. Saudi Arabia has denied claims that Khashoggi, a critic of the Kingdom’s government, was killed inside the consulate. They have called the accusations “false” and “baseless” and say the 59-year-old left the building on his own after going inside on Oct. 2 to pick up documents related to his upcoming marriage to a Turkish woman. His fiancee was waiting for Khashoggi

outside the consulate. Turkish officials, meanwhile, have made repeated claims that Khashoggi was killed by the Saudis inside the consulate, possibly by a 15-man team allegedly sent to Istanbul to carry out an attack. One of his friends told reporters last week that officials said to him Khashoggi was made to faint and then dismembered, while a Turkish newspaper reported that audio recordings exist confirming the journalist’s death. Neither side, however, has released any evidence supporting their statements, fueling suspicion as to who is telling the truth as the

days go by without any signs of Khashoggi – dead or alive. Saudi Arabia on Monday said King Salman called Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan “to thank the President for welcoming the Kingdom’s proposal to form a joint working group to investigate the disappearance of Saudi citizen Jamal Khashoggi. “For his part, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the President of the Republic of Turkey, appreciated the brotherly, distinguished, historical and close relations between the two countries and the two peoples, and expressed his keenness to strengthen and develop them,” a statement read. It was a markedly different tone from a statement Saudi Arabia released Sunday, in which they vowed to retaliate with “greater action” if the Trump administration punishes the country amid an international outcry over the Khashoggi case. Trump has said the U.S. would be “very upset and angry” if the Saudi

government was behind Khashoggi’s disappearance, and in an interview with “60 Minutes,” he clarified that there would be “severe punishment.” “The Kingdom affirms its total rejection of any threats and attempts to undermine it, whether by waving economic sanctions, using political pressure, or repeating false accusations,” Saudi Arabia’s statement on Sunday said. The statement did not elaborate. However, a column published in English a short time later by the general manager of the Saudiowned Al-Arabiya satellite news network suggested Saudi Arabia could use its oil production as a weapon. Saudi media followed on from that statement in television broadcasts and newspaper front pages Monday, according to the Associated Press. The Arabic-language daily Okaz wrote a headline on Monday in English warning: “Don’t Test Our Patience.” It showed a clenched fist made of a crowd of people in the country’s green color.

Kathmandu, Oct 15 (IANS): Nepal on Monday put on display the royal crown used by former kings after 10 years of the abolition of monarchy in the Himalayan country. Amid a special ceremony in the Narayanhiti Palace Museum in Kathmandu, Nepali Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli unveiled the royal crown, one of the most important symbols of monarchy used by kings for hundreds of years. Nepal exhibited the crown, sceptre, tiara and the sword among other valuable items used by the former royal families, exactly a decade after Nepal was declared a federal republic country, the Himalayan Times reported. Speaking at the ceremony, Oli said that the crown reflected the change in the political system of Nepal and the rich history of the country. “We need to preserve and respect our history. The palace museum will be developed as a history museum that not just reflects about monarchy but also different dynasties and periods of Nepal, its culture and diversity.”

Washington, Oct 15 (PTI): President Donald Trump has backed off from his claim that climate change is a “hoax”, but accused climate scientists of having a “very big political agenda”. The comments by Trump, who in June last year pulled the US out of the historic Paris Agreement on climate change, was made during an interview with CBS’s 60 Minutes. It come less than a week after climate scientists issued a final call to halt rising temperatures. Last week’s report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) - the leading international body evaluating climate change - warned the world was heading towards a temperature rise of 3C. In an interview, Trump accused scientists of having a “very big political agenda” and asserted that he does not want to put the US, the second-largest emitter of greenhouse gasses, at a disadvantage in responding

Donald Trump

to climate change. Asked whether he still thinks climate change is a hoax, Trump said, “I think something’s happening. Something’s changing and it’ll change back again. I don’t think it’s a hoax, I think there’s probably a difference. But I don’t know that it’s manmade.” “I will say this. I don’t wanna give trillions and trillions of dollars. I don’t wanna lose millions and millions of jobs. I don’t wanna be put at a disadvantage,” the US president said. Trump, who had pre-

viously called the climate change a “hoax”, last year pulled the US out of the Paris Agreement on climate change arguing that deal agreed by more than 190 nations unfairly benefited countries like India and China and hit American economy and jobs. When asked if he could go to Greenland, watch these huge chunks of ice just falling into the ocean, raising the sea levels, Trump said one doesn’t know whether or not that would have happened with or without man. “I’m not denying climate change. But it could very well go back. You know, we’re talkin’ about over a millions of years.” Trump accused scientists who say hurricanes are getting more frequent and intense because of climate change of having “a very big political agenda”. “They say that we had hurricanes that were far worse than what we just had with (Hurricane) Michael,” Trump said.

F E L I C I TAT I O N

Berlin, Oct 15 (AFP): The three parties in German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s fragile coalition government on Monday were facing up to an election debacle in the southern state of Bavaria. The Christian Social Union (CSU) from Merkel’s conser vative camp took a 10-point dive in Sunday’s vote to lose its

absolute majority in the Alpine state it has ruled since the 1960s. And the other coalition partner, the centre-left Social Democrats (SPD), dropped below 10 percent, halving their support in their worst ever result in any state poll. The biggest winner was the Greens, who surged to become the sec-

ond strongest party with 18 percent, while the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) celebrated its entry into the state assembly with 10 per cent. The Sueddeutsche daily commented that Merkel’s alliance faces “a fight for its survival”, following the dramatic losses of the “so-called people’s parties” as big-tent politi-

cal groupings are known in Germany. Spiegel Online commented that although “the epicentre of the political earthquake was in Bavaria ... the tidal wave could sweep away the federal government”.

The punishing results for the CSU and SPD were widely seen as a rejection of months of ugly infighting, mostly about immigration, between the parties in Merkel’s uneasy left-right “grand coalition”.

Beijing, Oct 15 (AGENCIES): Sinicisation of religion must be upheld to promote ethnic solidarity, a top Communist Party of China (CPC) leader said during a visit to the country’s remote northwestern region of Xinjiang, home to millions of Muslim Uyghurs. Sinicisation could be broadly defined as increasing the influence of Chinese, or the culture of the majority Han community, on nonChinese ideas and entities within China. President Xi Jinping has talked about sinicising religions in China since taking over the CPC leadership in 2012. The focus has largely been on Islam and fastspreading Christianity within China. The leader You Quan said “…sinicisation on religion must be upheld to promote ethnic solidarity and religious harmony”

‘First Man’ opens at No. 3 after controversy

A

fter the much-talked-about controversy over its omission of the American flag being planted on the moon, the Neil Armstrong film “First Man” settled in at No. 3 at the box office, failing to break through the ongoing tug-of-war between “Venom” and “A Star is Born.” “First Man” ran into some intense controversy weeks back after it was revealed that the film would omit the moment when Armstrong planted the American flag on the moon. Canadian-born Gosling defended the decision to not show the flag noting that the film sought to show it as a human achievement rather than an American achievement. “I think this was widely regarded in the end as a human achievement [and] that’s how we chose to view it,” he told reporters. “I also think Neil was extremely humble, as were many of these astronauts, and time and time again he deferred the focus from himself to the 400,000 people who made the mission possible.” Although Neil Armstrong’s children defended

Ryan Gosling in a scene from ‘First Man’ the choice, the decision didn’t sit well with some people, including President Donald Trump and Buzz Aldrin, who derided the film for being afraid of its American roots and heritage. The Ryan Goslingstarrer and a host of newcomers, like the familyfriendly “Goosebumps” sequel and the neo-noir mystery “Bad Times at the El Royale,” couldn’t unseat last week’s top two films. “Venom” and “A Star Is Born” again took first and second place. As the month of October careens toward a box office record, the crowded marketplace can be a bless-

ing or a curse for some films in their first weekends, although the hope is that they will play for weeks to come. Such is the case for Universal Pictures’ “First Man.” W h i l e t h e m ov i e outperformed other newcomers over the weekend, its $16.5 million in North America and $25 million worldwide is only on par with expectations but nowhere close to a breakout hit for its almost $60 million price tag. However, Universal President of Domestic Distribution Jim Orr believes the box office intake for a film like “First Man,” which appeals primarily to older audiences not inclined

to rush out to a movie theater on the first weekend, is going to be “a marathon not a sprint.” In other words, its ultimate success or failure will be based on how many people continue to pay to keep it in theaters. “What we know is for these types of adult, fall films for discerning audiences, it’s not about the opening weekend,” Orr said. “We’re very comfortable that it’s going to have a long life at the domestic box office.” Audiences for the PG13 rated “First Man” were primarily older (52 percent over 35), male (56 percent) and Caucasian (67 percent) and gave the film a B+ CinemaScore. “I never expected ‘First Man’ to have an opening weekend trajectory that was off the charts,” said Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for box-office tracker comScore. “This is a film that has a lot of awards season buzz. It will attract a lot of older viewers and it’s going to keep rolling along and getting more and more accolades. ‘First Man’ will be standing many weeks down the road.” (FoxNews)

Banksy clarifies on Sotheby’s shredder prank

B

anksy has denied suspicions that the shredding of ‘Girl with Balloon’ at Sotheby’s was an inside job. The elusive ar tist shocked the art world on October 5 when his stencil print of ‘Girl with Balloon’ began to self-destruct after it was sold for $1.1 million at the exclusive auction house. The partially shredded print is now on display at Sotheby’s and allegations that the auction house was aware of the prank quickly surfaced online. A spokesperson on behalf of Banksy has denied any collusion, saying: “I can categorically tell you there was no collusion between the artist and the auction house in any shape or form”. “The painting had 27 confirmed bidders on the night,” they said. “A reputable auction house would never encourage their valued clients to bid on something they knew would be destroyed, their credibility would never recover. “Banksy was as surprised as anyone when the painting made it past their security systems.” (NME)

Harry is a grandson of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. His brother, Prince William, and sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, have three children: George, Charlotte and Louis.

Hundreds of people gathered to catch a glimpse of the couple after they landed. Their tour will coincide with the Invictus Games, a Paralympic-style sport event for wounded veterans from around the world. Prince Harry, who served two tours in Afghanistan, founded the games in 2014. The Kingdom Choir, which performed at Markle’s nuptials to Prince Harry back in May, will perform at the games’ closing ceremony on Oct. 27. (FoxNews)

Jayasuriya faces corruption charges L O N D O N, OCT 1 5 (AGENCIES): Ex-Sri Lanka captain Sanath Jayasuriya has been charged by the International Cricket Council with two breaches of its anti-corruption code. The 49-year-old former all-rounder is accused of failing to co-operate with an investigation by the governing body. He is also charged with obstructing the investigation by “concealing, tampering with or destroying evidence”. Jayasuriya, a former chair of the Sri Lanka selectors’ committee, is regarded as one of the greatest one-day players. He has 14 days to respond to the charges. Jayasuriya was player of the tournament as Sri Lanka won the World Cup in 1996 and he scored 28 centuries and took 323 wickets in 445 one-day internationals. He also averaged 40.07 runs in 110 Test matches. He retired from international cricket in 2011, but continued playing Twenty20 matches until 2012. Earlier this month, Alex Marshall, general manager of the ICC anti-corruption unit, announced an investigation into “serious allegations of corruption” in Sri Lanka.

C h o r z ow, O c t 1 5 (Agencies): New Italy coach Roberto Mancini registered first competitive victory thanks to a lastgasp Cristiano Biraghi goal against Poland in their UEFA Nations League, League A Group 3 clash at Chorzow on Sunday, Outlook reported. Defender Biraghi, 26, slid in the winner two minutes into injury time for his first goal for Italy in a game

his team had dominated. The defeat ensured Poland were relegated to League B. It gave Mancini his first competitive victory since taking over as Italy coach last May, after the four-time world champions failure to qualify for the World Cup. The win also kept the Azzurri’s Nations League hopes alive. European champions Portugal lead the threeteam group with six points

from two games with Italy on four points after three games with Poland relegated to League B with one point. Italy had the best of the first half but once again demonstrated their difficulty finishing off. Jorginho rattled the bar within the first minute, with Federico Chiesa also hitting the woodwork after half an hour in the Silesian Stadium. Poland could thank Wojciech Szczesny for keeping them in the game with the under-pressure goalkeeper denying Alessandro Florenzi, Jorginho, Federico Bernardeschi and Juventus teammate Giorgio Chiellini in the first half. Italy had a goal disallowed after 65 minutes following a well-worked pass between Bernardeschi and Marco Verratti with Insigne offside in the box. Poland also had a couple of chances in the second half with Kamil Grosicki denied by Gianluigi Donnarumma, with Arkadiusz Milik curling over.
