Over 20000 HIV+ve cases in state

Himato speaking at state consultation on HIV & AIDS Act, 2017 in Kohima Tuesday (NP)

Correspondent

KOHIMA, OCT 16 (NPN): Expressing concern over high prevalence of HIV in Nagaland –– the third highest state in the country, the principal secretary health and family welfare (H&FW), I Himato Zhimomi, Tuesday termed as “unfortunate” that out of over 20,000 HIV positive cases, only 7,000 were availing the Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) and antiretroviral (ARV) drugs.

Speaking at the state consultation on HIV & AIDS (prevention and control) Act, 2017 for finalization of state specific rule, the principal secretary laid emphasis on the need for figuring out why the remain-

ing people were not availing treatment. “If there is something lacking from the side of government please come forward today, it is the perfect time for you to point out what is lacking with NACO or NSACS so that we can ensure 100% voluntary compliance from the affected people.”

The programme was organised by Nagaland state AIDS control society (NSACS) in collaboration with NACO, FHI360 and KRIPA foundation was held at de Oriental Grand Hotel here on Tuesday.

Zhimomi also challenged the department to do something so people living with HIV&AIDS come forward and avail the treatment provided by the

government.

Further, he advised the gathering to give proper guidance to the vulnerable age group and to ensure healthy society in the state.

Asserting that there should not be any stigma and discrimination in the society based on HIV status, the principal secretary appealed to the people living with HIV&AIDS to come forward and be equal partners in building the society.

Pointing out that more than 90% HIV transmission was through the sexual route, which was specific to Nagaland, he urged the department and stakeholders to ponder the best way to create awareness to prevent the disease from spreading.

Zhimomi stated that

Another revelation on ‘confidential’ Rafale deal NEW DELHI, OCT 16 (AGENCIES): A French aviation website has claimed to have accessed the internal Dassault document which was quoted earlier by the French publication Mediapart as the secret Dassault internal document, reports India Today.

The news magazine further reveals that Mediapart has published another similar document from Dassault which indicates that the top management of Dassault aviation was explaining to the confederation of French trade unions as to why a joint venture with an Indian company was mandatory “in the context of Make in India” clause.

Yves Pagot-- a Parisbased researcher, former Air Force official and defence writer -- published what he claims to be the same internal Dassault document presented by Dassault Aviation COO Loik Segalen before a French confedera-

tion of trade unions named Confédération générale du travail (CGT).

Earlier, the French journal Mediapart cited the alleged internal Dassault document to indicate that the offset partnership with Reliance was obligatory and mandatory for Dassault Aviation to sell Rafale jets to India. However, Mediapart never published the document. While French aviation website PortailAviation has published this controversial document, it has also published another document which gives a different twist to this story.

The second document is claimed to be from a presentation made by Dassault before another French trade union -- Confédération française démocratique du travail (CFDT) -- which is the largest French trade union confederation. The second document talks about Indian government’s “Make in India” being “the inevitable

consequence” of the deal “imposed” by India and hence “the Joint Venture with Reliance was created to attain this objective”.

The second document, which is said to be part of Dassault’s presentation before the largest French trade union confederation, mentioned the joint venture with Reliance only in the context of mandatory “Make in India” clause put

by Government of India.

“Here is the report, with another report from another union. It’s up to you to make your own opinion” Pagot wrote in his post.

While French publication Mediapart didn’t officially respond to this report, Mediapart’s journalist Antton Rouget who filed the two-part investigative story on the Rafale deal told India Today, “It confirms precisely what we wrote, and contradicts Dassault’s press release”.

the workshop should come out with some positive measures on how to ensure a free HIV society in the next 10 years. He also urged other NGOs in the state to share the responsibility to be equal partners to create awareness.

Consultant (IEC & mainstreaming) NACO, Garima Sharma, in her presentation on the HIV (prevention & control) Act 2017, highlighted the spirit of the Act, chapter wise details and definitions, committee of experts and others.

Member secretary Nagaland state legal service authority, Mezivolu T. Therie, said that the programme has been organized bringing all the stakeholders together. It was with the aim of enabling all responsible to understand the importance of the Act and work more cohesively towards prevention and control of HIV&AIDS and protect the rights of the positive people. She said the phenomenal rise in drug trafficking and drug abuse amongst the youth and children has serious implications adversely affecting the health and economy of the society.

DMC clarifies on collection of tolls and utilities fees Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, OCT 16 (NPN): Amid reports of surge in collection of entry tax on vehicles with the introduction of lease system for toll collection, the Dimapur Municipal Council (DMC) Tuesday clarified that neither the state government nor the council issued any order to the lessees to hike the fees especially on Mild Steel (MS) rod.

Addressing media persons at his office chamber, DMC administrator, Moa Sangtam, clarified that the council did not know on what basis the lessees were charging the fees. He maintained that the government has neither made any changes in the rate nor empowered the lessees to hike the fee.

“Nobody has authorized the lessees to charge the rate and state government has not issued any order”, said Moa. In this regard, the administrator cautioned that license of any lessees charging above the existing rates prescribed by the DMC would be cancelled.

Moa also appealed to the public and organisa-

tions to bring to the notice of DMC if any lessees were found charging above the rate fixed by the council.

Stating that toll tax rate has been put up in all the check gates to maintain transparency, Moa disclosed that a four-member monitoring committee has been formed to check each and every entry gate/collection point and ensure that collection was done as per DMC prescribed rate.

DMC administrator said the committee would keep vigilance over the DMC urban fee collection on various items by the lessee/contractor in all the entry gate/collection point.

Moa was clarifying to Hardware Merchants’ Association of Dimapur district allegation that entry tax per vehicle for MS rod was Rs 350 for a six-wheeled vehicle and Rs 450 for a 12wheeled vehicle. However, with the introduction of lease system by DMC, the entry tax jumped to Rs 3,500 per vehicle for a 12-wheeler vehicle (70 MT).

Supporting the decision to lease out toll tax collection, Moa said the revenue

of the DMC has increased from average monthly revenue of Rs. 55 lakh to Rs. 67 lakh.

On the collection of taxes, the administrator clarified that the state government has authorized the DMC to collect the tax on 38 items including MS Rod and Tiles. Through the collection, he said DMC could pay salary to the employees and initiate development activities.

Meanwhile, a joint meeting of the DMC and Naga Council Dimapur (NCD) was held on Tuesday in connection with the DMC tolls and urban utilities fee issues.

DMC has also empowered the public action committee (PAC) of NCD to monitor the activities of the lessees and to bring to the notice of the concerned authority against those lessees who charges more than the existing rates.

LUCKNOW/GORAKHPUR, OCT 16 (PTI): Uttar Pradesh Cabinet Tuesday adopted a proposal to rename the historic city of Allahabad as Prayagraj, a move opposed by the opposition parties in the state. But the state government said it is restoring an old name for the city.

“Today, the BJP government has rectified the mistake made by Akbar,” a state BJP spokesperson said. “Keeping in view the feelings and emotions of the people, Allahabad has been renamed Prayagraj by our government...,” Adityanath said later in Gorakhpur.

“Those who are opposing this are not aware of their history, culture and traditions and we can’t have hopes from them,” he told reporters during at visit to the Budhiya Mata temple in Gorakhpur.

“There are many Prayags on the bank of the sacred rivers coming from the Himalayas but this place is Prayagraj (the leading one among them),” the chief minister said. The proposal will now go to the Centre before the city is officially renamed even though an Uttar Pradesh minister seemed to suggest the change has already come into effect.

NPF refutes Ram Madhav’s statement KVC dismayed by twin centennial celebration of NC DIMAPUR, OCT 16 (NPN): Naga People’s Front (NPF) has refuted the recent statement made by BJP’s national general secretary (I/c North East) on October 9, that the people of Nagaland had rejected the NPF in the last Assembly election.

NPF through its press bureau reminded that the NPF emerged as the single largest party in the state with 26 MLAs in the house of 60, where the party alone secured 38.8 % of the total vote share while NPF alliance partners secured more than 6%.

As such, NPF said the total percentage of vote share secured by NPF and its alliance was 44.7% in the last Assembly election.

Again in the Lok Sabha byelection held in May 2018, the party secured 41.43% of the total vote share, NPF added.

NPF being the oldest

political party in the Northeast undoubtedly enjoys the love and support of the citizens of Nagaland and the claim made by Madhav was based on sheer imagination and does not reflect the ground reality, the NPF stated.

The party said it was evident that Ram Madhav must have been wrongly briefed by some of his coworkers or by some other political opponents of NPF who were desperately trying hard to discredit NPF in any given opportunity.

Having survived for the past 55 years, despite severe criticism from some individuals and political adversaries, NPF said the party stood the test of time despite all odds.

It also claimed that the party has already gained the status of being the second oldest regional political party in India. This is also one of the main reasons

why the national political parties as well as the newly floated political parties feel insecure to encounter the NPF, the opposition party stated.

With the objective to help resolve the protracted Naga political issue in a peaceful manner and towards this end, NPF said the party had expanded its jurisdiction to other parts of North Eastern states.

In response and in appreciation of the party’s effort, NPF said the electorates of Manipur State had consecutively elected four NPF legislators.

It further pointed that the BJP-led government in Manipur could be formed just because of the unconditional support extended by four NPF MLAs. Although BJP had severed ties with NPF in Nagaland, NPF said as a matured political party it cannot change its stand

overnight, and therefore continued to support the BJP government in Manipur. The party said that the BJP high command knows better how difficult it would be for the BJP to run the government in Manipur without NPF. With the passage of time, NPF said the party has established itself as a platform of the downtrodden and voice of the voiceless. Therefore, just to score some political mileage, one cannot say that NPF was rejected by the people. In fact, it was totally devoid of truth and does not hold water, NPF stated.

As enshrined in the party’s constitution, NPF asserted that the party will continue to fight for the right of all weaker section of the society and above all, committed to peaceful, honourable and inclusive solution of the Naga political issue.

DIMAPUR, OCT 16 (NPN): Kohima Village Council (KVC) Tuesday said it was deeply disturbed by the news of twin centennial celebration of Naga Club by Naga Students Federation (NSF) and the erstwhile Naga Club (NC) members.

In this regard, the council along with the descendents of eight signatories of the Memorandum of Simon Commission from Kohima Village held a meeting on October 15 at Kohima Village Panchayat Hall and adopted several resolutions, wherein the house also resolved not to take part in either of the celebratory programme of the NSF and Naga Club, KVC chairman Rutsa Dr. Neiphi Kire and secretary Zeneizo stated in a press note.

The descendents/representatives of the eight signatories include Prasielie Pienyü, great grandson Rheichalie Pienyü (Peshkar);

Khriehutuo Sekhose son of Ruzhükhrie Sekhose (master); Neingunyü Sekhose (representative of Deikhrie Sekhose, sub overseer); Zapuzhülie Angami (interpreter) not represented; Kesohelie Suokhrie (representative of Zepulie Angami, interpreter); Dr. Viketoulie Pienyü grandson of Nuolhoukielie Pienyü (clerk); Zedikuolie Theünuo grandson of Miakrao Theünuo (chaprasi) and Meselhoulie Rame (representative of Neihu Rame, head interpreter).

The house maintained that the history of Naga Club must be factually recorded for posterity as there was an erroneous understanding that the Club was formed by Nagas who were in the Labour Corps and fought in the World War 1 (1914-1918). It said that the Naga Club was formed by a few salaried people comprising of masters, interpreters, clerks of the Deputy Com-

missioner’s office of the then Naga Hills before the arrival of the Naga Labour Corps.

The house also maintained that the Naga Club was formed on January 7, 1918 while the Naga Labor Corps arrived from France only by June 1918, after which they formed the Naga Elders Union.

Therefore, it said that the Naga Club was not formed by the returnees of Naga Labor Corps, though the signatories of the representation letter to the Simon Commission included ‘capt.’ Dr. Khosa Zinyü, a Labor Corps returnee.

They said Naga Club sans Simon Commission would have remained simply a Club only in the manner and style of British social clubs. However, on receiving news of the arrival of the Simon Commission, they said that the members decided to write a representation which was drafted by Ruzhükhrie Sekhose. (Cont’d on p-7) K Y M C

LPG penetration in Northeast to cross 80 pc by March 2019

Guwahati, Oct 16 (PTI): The LPG cylinder penetration in the Northeast region is likely to touch 80 per cent by the end of 201819, much ahead of its initial plan to reach this target by 2030.

The rigorous push to achieve the target ahead of its time was received during implementation of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) in the region from last year, state level coordinator for Assam (Petroleum Products) Uttiya Bhattacharyya told PTI here.

“We hope to touch the figure of 80 per cent in the LPG penetration in Northeast by the end of 201819 fiscal. Initially, we had planned to reach this figure in NE by 2030,” he added.

Bhattacharyya, who is also the Indian Oil Corporation Chief General Manager (IndianOil-AOD), informed that the penetration level in the region has gone up to over 76 per cent at present from around 44 per cent in 2015-16.

“So, we are already much ahead of our planned target. However, we are still much below than the national average, which stands

at 88.5 per cent compared to 62.2 per cent in 2015-16,” he added.

Bhattacharyya said earlier the oil marketing companies, comprising IOCL, HPCL and BPCL, together used to release around six lakh LPG connections annually, transforming an average of about 1,700 per day.

“Now, this number has shot up to 5,830 cylinders every day. It is an unthinkable jump that the industry has achieved. It was possible due to effort in implementing the ‘Gram Swaraj Abhiyan’ under the PMUY,” he added.

Under the ‘Gram Swaraj Abhiyan’, which was launched on April 14 this year in the region, LPG connections are being distributed in 6,942 villages.

The public sector undertaking Indian Oil Corporation currently has 10 LPG bottling plants across the Northeast region and these are functioning at over 100 per cent utilisation.

The company is investing over Rs 286 crore to enhance its LPG bottling capacity, including setting up of two greenfield plants at Agartala in Tripura and

Barapani in Meghalaya, by 2020.

IOC is pumping Rs 143.46 crore to set up the plant at Agartala by June 2019 that will have an installed bottling capacity of 60,000 metric tonne per annum (MTPA).

The Barapani unit, which is at an initial stage now, will have a capacity of 30,000 MTPA and will cost Rs 74 crore.

Apart from the two units, the company is adding capacities to its existing bottling facilities at Silchar, Bongaigaon and North Guwahati.

The expanded Silchar unit has been commissioned just recently after increasing the capacity to 1,20,000 MTPA from 60,000 MTPA at a cost of Rs 23.45 crore.

In North Guwahati, the company is spending Rs 45.13 crore for raising the output to 1,80,000 MTPA from 1,20,000 MTPA, besides having two mounted storage vessels of 600 MT each.

The expansion work at the Bongaigaon unit has been completed and the capacity is now doubled to 60,000 MTPA.

NRC: Only about 1 lakh file claims so far

Guwahati, Oct 16 (Agencies): Even though the names of more than 40 lakh people failed to surface in Assam’s NRC draft list published on July 30, the process of filing of claims and objections is yet to pick up, The Northeast Today reported.

Supreme Court is scheduled to monitor the progress of the process of receiving claims and objections on the next date of hearing scheduled for October 23.

The Assam Tribune reported that only around one lakh of those whose names were not included, filed claims so far. The process of receiving claims and objections started on September 30 and it is likely to continue tentatively up to November 23. Though there have been allegations by various organiza-

tions that names of substantial number of suspected foreigners were included in the draft, none of the organizations making such allegations have come forward to submit objections. According to records available, only around 40 objections have been filed so far. Sources revealed that to submit objection, the Application Receipt Number (ARN) of the person, against whom objection is sought to be raised, is required. Sources said that it is not difficult for anyone to get the ARN of any person to raise objection as following the directive of the Supreme Court, the hard copies of the NRC with all the details are made available in all the offices of the Deputy Commissioners and Sub Divisional Officers and anyone can obtain the details.

UP Cabinet clears proposal to rename Allahabad

Lucknow/Gorakhpur, Oct 16 (PTI): The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet Tuesday adopted a proposal to rename the historic city of Allahabad as Prayagraj, a move opposed by the opposition parties in the state.

But the state government said it is restoring an old name for the city.

“Today, the BJP government has rectified the mistake made by Akbar,” a state BJP spokesperson said.

“Keeping in view the feelings and emotions of the people, Allahabad has been renamed Prayagraj by our government. Five hundred years ago the name of the place was Prayagraj as it is at the `Triveni Sangam’ (a confluence of three rivers),” Adityanath said later in Gorakhpur.

“Those who are opposing this are not aware of their history, culture and traditions and we can’t have hopes from them,” he told reporters during at visit to the Budhiya Mata temple in Gorakhpur.

“There are many Prayags on the bank of the

Opposition protests as UP cabinet approves name change of Allahabad. (File) sacred rivers coming from the Himalayas but this place is Prayagraj (the leading one among them),” the chief minister said.

The proposal will now go to the Centre before the city is officially renamed eve n t h o u g h a n U t t a r Pradesh minister seemed to suggest the change has already come into effect.

“I am happy to say Allahabad will now be known as Prayagraj,” senior UP minister Siddhartha Nath Singh told reporters after the

Cabinet meeting chaired by the chief minister.

“The government has announced this decision. It has come into effect from today,” Singh said.

But he added, “There is a process to carry out changes and the departments concerned will undertake it.”

The state government will write to the Centre, he said.

Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav has earlier criticised the move.

The Congress has also opposed it, saying the name

change ignored the history of Allahabad, which played a significant role during the Independence struggle.

Congress spokesperson Onkar Singh said the region where Kumbh Mela is held is already called Prayagraj.

The state government can make that a separate city but Allahabad’s name should not be changed, he added.

However, minister Siddhartha Nath Singh said the move will help highlight Indian culture at the inter-

national level.

“Rig Veda, Mahabharata and Ramayana also mention Prayagraj,” he said.

He said Adityanath had recalled a proposal to rename Allahabad ahead of the 2019 Kumbh Mela when he visited the city on Saturday and chaired a meeting on the event.

The seers there had given their unanimous approval when Adityanath brought this up, the minister said. On objections to the proposal, Singh said, “Prayagraj is a name which was there for a long time.

But almost 500 years ago, someone changed the name.

You have been given a name by your parents. Imagine if that name is changed how will you feel?”

UP Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson Manish Shukla said, “The mentality with which Mughal emperor Akbar changed the name of the city is being opposed by the people.”

“Today, the BJP government has rectified the mistake made by Akbar,” he added.

Nitish Kumar elevates Prashant Kishor as JD(U)’s vice president New Delhi, Oct 16 (PTI): Janata Dal (United) chief Nitish Kumar appointed Prashant Kishor as the party’s vice president Tuesday, effectively making him the second most powerful person in the party over a month after he joined it.

Having worked for a number of parties as a poll strategist, Kishor has emerged as a trusted aide to the Bihar chief minister who would count on his relations across party lines and campaign skills to steer the JD(U) to success in the Lok Sabha polls.

Party spokesperson K C Tyagi said Kishor’s appointment would help it reach out to social segments outside its traditional support base as he counted his skills and past track record as a valuable asset for the Bihar-based party.

He will help the party chart a new course outside the traditional methods of socialist politics, Tyagi said.

Delhi’s air quality nosedives towards ‘very poor’ category New Delhi, Oct 16 (AGENCIES): Delhi’s air quality nosedived towards very poor category on Tuesday even as authorities put several key measures in place to combat air pollution.

The overall Air Quality Index (AQI) of Delhi was recorded at 293, just eight points below the “very poor” category, according to the Centre-run System of Air Quality Forecasting And Research.

A n AQ I b e t we e n 0 and 50 is considered “good”, 51 and 100 “satisfactory”, 101 and 200 “moderate”, 201 and 300 “poor”, 301 and 400 “very poor” and that between 401 and 500 is categorised as “severe”.

A senior Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) official said several factors like vehicular pollution, construction activities and meteorological factors like wind speed were responsible for continuing pollution in the city despite measures being taken up.

S eve r a l m e a s u r e s are in force in the DelhiNational Capital Region (NCR) like mechanised sweeping of roads, ban on garbage burning, pollution control measures at brick kilns and deployment of police to ensure smooth passage of traffic at vulnerable areas. The use of gensets have also been banned in the city but they are being allowed to operate in parts of the NCR due to power issues. “The Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) has been rolled out in the city but its ground level implementation is still going on,” the official said.

The GRAP, notified by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change in 2012, prescribes a set of measures to curb air pollution based on the Central Pollution Control Board’s (CPCB) daily Air Quality Index (AQI).

The emergency plan gets implemented if “very poor” or “severe” air pollution levels are recorded for 48 hours but given the extent of winter pollution witnessed by the national capital, the plan has been implemented as the air quality slipped to the “poor” category, the official said.

In addition, the CPCB has also deployed 41 teams to monitor the implementation of measures taken to combat air pollution.

tion is waived,” the Bench recorded in a September 25 order.

This is one of the first cases in which the Supreme Court has followed its own ruling in September 2017 that Hindu couples who have mutually agreed to separate need not wait anymore for the mandatory “cooling-off ” period of six months before divorce.

The 2017 judgement was pronounced by a Bench of Justices (now retired) A.K. Goel and U.U. Lalit. Previously, under the Hindu Marriage Act, once a couple moves a court of law for divorce, they have to wait for a minimum period of six months before the court actually passes a decree of divorce.

In the video, Ashish Pandey and his friends can be heard abusing the man who used the ladies’ washroom, police said.

Delhi’s Joint Commissioner of Police Ajay Chaudhry said: “We are afraid he (Pandey) might leave the country. So, a look-out circular has been issued at airports across the country.

“He doesn’t live in Delhi. He has his residence in Lucknow... We are in coordination with the Uttar Pradesh Police and will be able to arrest him soon,” Chaudhry said.

Union Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju took to Twitter to say that “strong and appropriate action will be taken” against the cul-

prits including the friends of Ashish Pandey.

Police took suo motu cognizance of the incident, which Chaudhry said wasn’t reported by the hotel authorities or by the people involved in the fight but was recorded in a video that went viral on the social media.

“It happened during a party at the hotel. Ashish had an argument with someone who used a ladies’ washroom and the video that showed him brandishing a pistol went viral,” he said.

The Uttar Pradesh Police is assisting the Delhi Police in the hunt for Ash-

ish Pandey. When the police team reached Pandey’s house in Vaibhav Khand in Lucknow’s Gomti Nagar area, a domestic help said that Pandey visited the place once or twice a month.

A case under the Arms Act and the Indian Penal Code has been registered against the accused.

Centre working to achieve zero hunger by 2030, says Minister New Delhi, Oct 16 (IANS): Union Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh on Tuesday said that the NDA government was working continuously to achieve the goal of ‘zero hunger’ by 2030 in the country.

Burden by over taxation

W

hen it comes to producing something or someone who contributes to the progress worth mentioning, there is no one. However, when it comes to collecting tax, there are far too many who fight each other to impose tax on all and sundry.

Various groups fight for turf to decide on who has the right to impose/collect tax. The same fight appears to be continuing between the Dimapur Municipal Council (DMC) and “private contractors” over collection of myriad taxes in Dimapur. The collection of municipal tax in Dimapur has been on the news since several years back when the Dimapur Municipal Council refused to allow the government (Urban Development Department) toll collectors to collect toll text. Therefore, when ACAUT served a 10-day ultimatum on the municipal affairs department under the urban development department, against the DMC toll collectors who allegedly were imposing/collecting various taxes, it was essentially echoing the overwhelming sentiment of the public against such collections. There is no crime or illegality in collecting municipality taxes as they are being done in other towns and cities. However, ACAUT appears to have taken strong exception to the collection of taxes, an issue it had raised a few years ago.

In case the DMC does not collect taxes, it may have to outsource it to private collectors or “entrepreneurs/ youths” etc, a practice that used to be prevalent in the past. The outsourcing for collection of municipal tax had also exposed how the “private collectors” used to earn a huge amount while hardly 25% of the amount collected was deposited with the DMC. In other words, the quotations were so hilariously low as dictated by powerful syndicates, that those private collectors ended up as the main beneficiaries of tax collection and DMC only got the left over. If ACAUT is indeed genuinely very serious about the issue, then it would be befitting if the entire issue is deliberated to bring out an effective system that is fair to all and not tilted heavily in favour of anyone in particular. Tax collection in Dimapur is the only thriving activity which has become the main industry but one which is gradually and slowly strangulating the economy. Besides DMC tax collection, there are at least half a dozen armed groups claiming legitimacy to collect taxes. There are also many other unions who see no reason why they also cannot gang up and collect tax through ingenuous ways. Sadly even the rare local vegetable growers or those engaged in meat products are unable to get into the market because of syndicates. ACAUT, in issuing the ultimatum on the state government, has not spelt out what it found objectionable about DMC staff collecting taxes or what it proposed to do in order to streamline the system. The state government has to intervene in the matter and discuss the problem with all stake holders such as DMC, DCCI, business and public organizations in order to formulate an efficient and transparent system. The flawed policies of taxing but not creating a climate for economic growth is like putting the cart before the horse and which is causing big problems for sustainable economic development.

DailyDevotion The Key to the Master’s Orders

Pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. —Matthew 9:38 The key to the missionary’s difficult task is in the hand of God, and that key is prayer, not work— that is, not work as the word is commonly used today, which often results in the shifting of our focus away from God. The key to the missionary’s difficult task is also not the key of common sense, nor is it the key of medicine, civilization, education, or even evangelization. The key is in following the Master’s orders— the key is prayer. “Pray the Lord of the harvest….” In the natural realm, prayer is not practical but absurd. We have to realize that prayer is foolish from the commonsense point of view.

From Jesus Christ’s perspective, there are no nations, but only the world. How many of us pray without regard to the persons, but with regard to only one Person— Jesus Christ? He owns the harvest that is produced through distress and through conviction of sin. This is the harvest for which we have to pray that laborers be sent out to reap. We stay busy at work, while people all around us are ripe and ready to be harvested; we do not reap even one of them, but simply waste our Lord’s time in over-energized activities and programs. Suppose a crisis were to come into your father’s or your brother’s life— are you there as a laborer to reap the harvest for Jesus Christ? Is your response, “Oh, but I have a special work to do!” No Christian has a special work to do. A Christian is called to be Jesus Christ’s own, “a servant [who] is not greater than his master” (John 13:16), and someone who does not dictate to Jesus Christ what he intends to do. Our Lord calls us to no special work— He calls us to Himself. “Pray the Lord of the harvest,” and He will engineer your circumstances to send you out as His laborer.

Significance of Devi Durga How inclusive growth still eludes India

G

odess Durga symbolizes the divine forces (Positive Energy) Known as divine Shakti (Feminine Energy) i.e used against the negative forces of evil and wickedness. Devi Durga is viewed as the “Self ” within and the divine mother of all creation. She, the supreme Goddess is the embodiment of pure love, courage and divine light. She is depicted as a lighthouse of spiritual love and power. She is a warrior woman with hands carrying weapons of different kinds (used in different situations). It means her powers have practical significance what we receive in our daily life.

Swadarshan Chakra in her first upper right hand symbolizes” Self Realization” means full development of one’s own capabilities. Each one of us should keep a check on the self. It implies that first of all, become full of yourself and then you can become charitable souls with others.

Conch in her first upper left had symbolizes the happiness. If we have attained the state of happiness then only we are able to distribute true happiness to others.

Sword in her second right lower hand symbolizes destruction of evil qualities. We must have power to discriminate and eradicate our vices.

Bow and Arrow in her second left lower hand symbolize focus on our goal. To be victorious in every task means to be number one. This is success. Do not allow ourselves to be disturbed, this is victory.

Lotus Flower in her third in lower left hand symbolizes Detachment. We must live in the world without attachment to the external world as a lotus flower bloom in mud and yet remains detached smile and gives its beauty to others.

Mace in her right lower hand symbolizes devotion and

I

surrender as this is a symbol of Hanuman ji (Devotee of lord Rama) which depict whatever we do in our life we should put love and devotion to it and let go of the outcome as almighty’s will.

Trident and Trishul in her fourth left lower left hand symbolizes courage. We must have courage to eliminate evil qualities in us and face the challenges in our life.

Fourth lower right hand symbolizes forgiveness and her blessings .It means greatness , superiority that we should forgive others for their mistakes and give positive vibrations to them that they realize and not repeat them in the future.

Mother Goddess’s Blessings: When we follow Her teachings and become purified then Her Blessings will be showered upon us.

Devi Durga rides a Lion or a Tiger. A tiger symbolizes unlimited power. Durga riding a tiger indicates that She possesses unlimited power and uses it to protect virtue and destroy evil. The Lion is a symbol of uncontrolled animalistic tendencies in us (such as anger, arrogance, selfishness, greed, jealousy, desire to harm others etc.) and Her sitting on him means control these qualities, if not we could be controlled by them.

She is usually shown wearing a red sari. The color red symbolizes action and the red clothes signify that She is always busy destroying evil and pain protecting mankind from pain and suffering caused by evil forces.

Thus Durga Puja is a festival that signifies the victory of positive forces over the demons of vices and negative energy that are present around us in the form of falsehood, hatred, discrimination and greed.

nequality and lack of access to public goods and services has been the bane of Indian society for centuries. But never has it been as stark as it is today, with 10 per cent of India’s richest families owning 56 per cent of the total national income, according to the World Inequality Report.

But even more disturbing is the fact that this economic inequality is prevalent not only among the various states of the country, but also within a state itself. Intra- and inter-state variations are not just restricted to economic parameters but are equally applicable to social indicators like proper nutrition, basic medical care, personal safety, water and sanitation, personal rights, to name just a few, collectively categorised under the Social Progress Index (SPI).

It only strengthens the belief that even after over 70 years of independence, inclusive growth has remained elusive, calling for a serious policy rethink in terms of redistribution of wealth, equal opportunities for all and proper distribution of goods and services in the country.

Take the case of a rich and progressive state like Maharashtra with the greatest nominal GDP among all states. It too harbours a district like Nandurbar, which can easily be grouped with some of the poorest districts of the country.

For instance, the difference between the economic density, which is the GDP per square kilometer as defined by the World Bank report of 2011, between Nandurbar and Pune is 317.

While Pune has a rank of 39 Nandurbar is way down the ladder at 356 among all districts in the country.

The great divide within and among states in SPI too points to the urgent need for reforms in policy measures to put the house in order.

How to provide access to health and wellness to its ordinary citizens is something that

successive governments have struggled with, without finding a ready answer. Even a progressive district like Chennai in Tamil Nadu (ranked third in the SPI) suffers from poor access to health and wellness with a score of 49.6.

Kancheepuram district in Tamil Nadu too has a poor record in terms of access to advanced education (36.8) despite ranked 14 on the SPI. It is equally true for the industrial district of Ludhiana in Punjab.

Setting up more and more primary health centers and local government hospitals with doctors from outside, have not really helped. The hub-and-spoke model, where primary centres treat simple diseases and refer the more serious ones to multispecialty hospitals, has failed to take off in India because of absence of trained doctors in the districts and villages.

The Chinese model of barefoot doctors -- local youths trained in basic healthcare services and servicing community hospitals, and specialists taking care of the major hospitals -- could be a ready solution.

Even high economic density and a decent SPI rank is not enough to lure top universities to a district. Nashik in Maharashtra is a case in point. It has an economic density of 110 and an SPI of 122, but still has a poor score of 32.2 on the issue of access to advanced education.

The best way to attract top academics to such districts is to provide them not just with a decent pay package and perks -- comparable to their peers in the metros -- but also quality research facilities that will help them write papers in international journals and make a name for themselves.

Delhi’s case seems to be rather unique. While one can perhaps explain its poor economic density to the government’s and Supreme Court’s decision to move polluting industries out of the capital, but there is little to

explain its poor personal safety score.

Will greater policing -- in terms of greater power to the police force -- and more punitive and timely punishments in these districts solve the problem of personal safety, especially of women, or is there a need to change the mindset of the people through large-scale counseling?

These are issues that administrators or policymakers will need to grapple with.

Why should a district like the diamond capital of India, Surat, in Gujarat, suffer from lack of access to information and communication (score: 51.38), especially in this digital age, when all information should be available at the click of a button?

More so, when the district has a high economic density of 92 but also an SPI of 71.

Many of these issues like access to information is likely to be resolved once the government’s Bharat Net Project -- connecting nearly 2.5 lakh gram panchayats through broadband -- is completed. Proper internet connectivity will not only help those living in far-flung areas to keep abreast of what is happening nationally, but internationally too.

The reason for pointing out such stark contrasts is not just to highlight the miseries of various districts but to point out the massive differences among districts of the same state. Inequality breeds social tensions and hence constrains the growth of a nation.

Hence, equity, equal opportunities for all, inclusiveness and well-being of all should be the government’s motto rather than having islands of affluence in a sea of poverty.

The amazing memoires of Luke

t is surprising a Gentile, not an eyewitness to Jesus, possibly have never lived in Palestine, not a disciple of any of the Apostles and never heard to have been baptized, could write such a wonderful the story of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

It is quite possible some educated Theologians today will know more about the historical Jesus than what Luke ever knew.

Yet for more than two thousand years today, the world would have never taken Jesus of Nazareth as it had today, had Luke the gentile not written his memoirs of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Archaeologists have come across ancient papyrus writings containing the name of one Luke, and traditional sources connect Luke to the authorship of the Third and Fifth Gospels of the New Testament.

First century Church L ea de r -I g na tius, 35108AD Bishop of Antioch and early second century Polycarp 69-155AD of Smyrna, have seen and known Apostle John alive, the only Apostle to die a natural death.

They testified Luke as the Author of the Acts of the Apostles and the Gospel in his name. The Church from very early times accepted the memoirs of Luke as ‘inspired’ of God, and canonized them.

These witnesses show Luke Evangelist par excellence to us today without any doubt though we have no direct evidence of identity that Luke wrote the Gospel of Luke and of Acts of the Apostles.

The Book of Luke

1:1-4 says, “many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word.

With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know of the certainty of the things you have been taught”.

In the days of Luke, there were books, not all of them inspired of God. In fact, there are quite a few Gospel books the Protestant Church view them apocryphal, though some other denominations includes them in the Holy Bible. The Gospel of Mathew and Mark were two of them Written earlier than Luke did.

In that case, Luke could have seen the Gospel books of Mathew, Mark and quite a few others before he started to write his own. Mathew and Mark do not contain some details Luke wanted included in his books: A. Mathew started the genealogy of Jesus starting from Abraham including two alien women Ahab and Ruth. Mathew was a Jew. B. Luke started the genealogy of Jesus starting from Adam. Luke was a Gentile. Luke alone has the story of the Good Samaritan, -a community not accepted as ‘the people of the Book’, surprisingly however, Luke does not have the wonderful story of the women by the Well of Sychar.

C. We can say, Luke gave us the joyful Christmas, the incomparable story of the birth of Jesus in Luke only.

D. Moreover, Luke’s Gospel is nearer to our perception today on the return of Jesus, a little different from those of the early Christian who expected the immediate return of the Christ.

Paul and Silas were planning Paul’s second missionary Journey to move to the North and East of Asia Minor, presently Turkey, in the continent of Asia but the Holy Spirit and Jesus prevented them.

Instead, Jesus instructed them to go South and West. Therefore, they turned south and reached the seaport city of Troas on the Seacoast.

It is here in the city of Troas that we first find the Author of the Acts of the Apostle joined the company of Paul, Silas and Timothy. Here, the author, for the first time, begins to use the plural pronoun ‘we’ and ‘us’ for the companions of Paul.

The author wrote, Act. 16:9, “During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, ‘come over to Macedonia and help us’.

“After Paul has seen the vision, ‘we’ got ready at once to leave for Macedonia” in the continent of Europe, “concluding that God had called ‘us’ to preach the gospel to them.” It is Paul, in his Letter to the Colossian Church mentioned ‘Luke’ in the list of the Gentiles, not in the list of the Jews. This gives us the first clue to assume Luke could be a Gentile

and not a Jew. Colossians 4:10-14.

In those days, it was a privilege of great importance to be a Roman Citizen in the vast Roman Empire extending from Asia to Britain in the west.

A Roman citizen enjoyed civil Rights not available to others. None could punish a Roman citizen before the Court found the person guilty.

While in the city of Philippe in the Roman province of Greece, Paul drove out a distracting Spirit from a slave girl, who was a Fortune Teller.

This girl brought great deal of money to her Masters with her fortune telling. When her owners realized their hope of making money was gone, “They dragged Paul and Silas to the market Place alleging “These men are Jews... advocating customs unlawful for us Romans.”

Here, the Philippians did not include Luke and Timothy in the allegation nor in the Arrest, but seized Paul and Silas and put them in the Jail in maximum-security cell without verification of the allegation or of their Citizenship, perhaps because of their looks. Perhaps they look non-Jew. In other cities too, the people persecuted Paul and Silas but not Luke and Timothy!?** The change of Paul’s Second Missionary Journey from the East to the West changed the world as never before even more than the great Mongol Genghis Khan’s conquest of Asia and Europe ever did.

Within 400 years, of the resurrection of Jesus, the Jew’s Old Testament Bible got translated into

Greek Septuagint and Christianity became the Official Religion of the Roman Empire and the Spirit of Christianity reached Europe.

The ‘Sermon on the Mount’ replaced the ‘Eye for an Eye’ and ‘Turn the other Cheek’ took the place of ‘tooth for a tooth’.

Within a few more centuries, Christianity’s principles replaced the old Order into the New. It changed the Morals, Ethics and attitude of the West.

The voice of the people developed into the Voice from Above and drowned the whims and dictates of Kings and Emperors.

Within 1500 years of

Paul’s second Missionary journey to Macedonia, democracy began to replace despotic Kings and Emperors. The Will of the People replaced the Will of the Emperor.

Christianity changed the traditional bondage of the world of the Past and ushered it into the future.

Luke. 4:18–19 said, “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, Because he has anointed me To proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s.

The Durga Puja and Dussehra festivals are just a couple of days from now. It is amazing how Nagaland has effortlessly accommodated so many other religions and has Christian charity towards others. As Christians, we need to exercise tolerance not only towards different types of people but also towards other religions and denominations.

The real Christian charity is not only about giving cloths and money to poor people or those in need but to have a big heart to accommodate others. God created people of various nationalities and colour and likewise over the centuries, different religions too cropped up. While the Hindus celebrate their festivals, the Muslims too have their Idd and so forth. For us the Christmas season will soon approach but why wait only till Christmas to express feelings of brotherhood towards other religions.

Let the various festivals pass by without any untoward incidents and by being tolerant and joyful for those who are celebrating. After all, as we would want others share in our joy during Christmas, so also we need to join in prayer while others celebrate their festivals. God shines the same light upon every human and in this light, let there be real sense of brotherhood and goodwill.

KVC dismayed by twin centennial celebration of NC

(From p-1) “Needless to say, this simple, visionary and inclusive document, asking to be left alone to determine their future by themselves and not to be included within the Reformed scheme of India, set the political aspiration and goal for the Nagas for the first time,” KVC said.

The house expressed regret that the Angami Public Organization could not broker peace between the Naga Club and the NSF, even as the Naga Club was

entering into a new centenary. KVC said it also learnt that the twin celebrations would involve formal ceremonies which are almost replications of each other including unveiling of respective monoliths to mark the momentous occasion.

KVC felt that the act of commemorating 100 years of Naga Club by erecting two monoliths would make a mockery of the vision of the Naga Club and also diminishes the solemnity of the occasion. Despite the

(From p-1) However, Rouget didn’t respond to the second document published by Pagot which contradicts Mediapart’s story. So far, both Dassault Aviation and the Indian government have maintained that Reliance was the choice of the French firm and Indian government had no role in deciding the offset partners. Opposition leaders, including Congress president Rahul Gandhi, have alleged that the Indian government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi was instrumental in helping Anil Ambani’s Reliance throughout this deal. While opposition leaders have often relied upon the reports published by French publication Mediapart to attack the government on this issue, this latest report contradicts the opposition narrative and also raises some questions over recent Mediapart stories on Rafale.

Bakhshi, who joined the ICICI group in 1986, was elevated from the post of Chief Operating Officer (COO) to MD and CEO of the bank after resignation of Kochhar on October 4.

The bank’s board had decided that Bakhshi would have a tenure of five years until October 3, 2023. However, the proposed term has been cut to three years by the RBI. Shares of ICICI Bank rose 2.5 per cent to close at Rs 321.05 on the BSE. Bakhshi was appointed as the MD and CEO of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company in August, 2010. Under his leadership, the company re-designed various products, re-engineered the distribution architecture and made significant improvement in productivity.

RBI seem to be exercising a cautious approach when it comes to re-appointment of chiefs of private sector banks, especially against the backdrop of rising nonperforming assets in the banking system.

Last month, the central bank curtailed the proposed three-year term for Yes Bank MD and CEO Rana Kapoor, whose tenure was extended only till January end. Similarly, the RBI had reportedly taken a tough stance in the case of re-appointment of Shikha Sharma as Axis Bank MD and CEO. “We wish to inform you that RBI ...

New Delhi, Oct 16 (PTI): Adopting a seemingly cautious approach, the Reserve Bank has approved appointment of Sandeep Bakhshi as ICICI Bank’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer for three years as against a five-year term sought by the lender.

ICICI Bank Tuesday informed the stock exchanges that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has cleared Bakhshi’s appointment for three years effective from October 15.

After ICICI group veteran Chanda Kochhar -- who was facing inquiry related to alleged nepotism and quid pro quo in extending loans to certain entities -- resigned earlier this month, the bank announced appointment of Bakhshi as the MD and CEO for five years. In recent months, the

OPEC said in its latest report, issued in September.

Retail fuel prices in India, the world’s third biggest oil consumer and importer, recently touched record levels due to high oil prices and a weakening rupee, leading to protests across the country.

Barkindo said consumers including India have expressed concerns on the outlook for supply.

“Our view is that the market is currently adequately supplied and well balanced. For 2019, there is the potential for an imbalance, due to larger growth in supply,” he said.

B a r k i n d o ’s v i e w s echoed those of Patrick Pouyanne, chief executive of French oil and gas group Total, who said on Tuesday that he expected demand for crude to be lower and supply to be higher in 2019.

New Delhi, Oct 16 (Agencies): India’s oil demand is expected to rise by 5.8 million barrels per day (bpd) by 2040, accounting for about 40 per cent of the overall increase in global demand during the period, OPEC’s secretary general said on Tuesday, Reuters reported.

“India is projected to see the largest additional oil demand (3.7 per cent per annum) and the fastest growth in the period to 2040,” said Mohammed Sanusi Barkindo, secretary general of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.

He added that the global oil sector needed $11 trillion in investment to meet future demand by 2040.

September even as exports declined by more than 2 per cent. A higher trade deficit inflates the current account deficit which has a bearing on the local currency due to fund outflows. The benchmark Brent oil was trading 0.88 per cent lower at USD 80.07 a barrel on Tuesday due to easing tensions over disappearance of a Saudi journalist which calmed the oil market.

US President Donald Trump Monday had said that “rough killers” could be behind the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi as opposed to his earlier threatening stance.

Stock markets also welcomed a retreat in oil prices and gains in the rupee with the benchmark 30-share Sensex rising by 297.38 points or 0.85 per cent to close at 35,162.48.

The NSE Nifty after regaining the 10,600-mark hit a high of 10,604.90 on the back of widespread gains, and finally concluded 72.25 points or 0.69 per cent higher at 10,584.75.

India’s oil demand to rise by 5.8 million bpd by 2040, says Opec

New Delhi, Oct 16 (PTI): The rupee climbed 35 paise to end at nearly two-week high of 73.48 per dollar Tuesday amid softening crude oil prices and easing concerns over the trade deficit.

Traders said foreign fund inflows and greenback weakening against other currencies were the other factors that provided support to the home unit.

At the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex), the rupee opened on a firm note at 73.79 from Monday’s close of 73.83. During the day the domestic currency gained further ground to hit a high of 73.47 against the US dollar, driven by selling of the greenback by exporters.

The domestic unit settled the day up by 35 paise or 0.47 per cent at 73.48 to the dollar, the highest closing level since October 3.

The rupee had lost 26 paise to close at 73.83 Monday.

Forex dealers said bullish trend in the equity market as well as easing crude oil prices supported the rupee’s upward movement.

“Alongside positive news on crude, the tenyear bonds rallied as yields closed lower. The currency rallied on the lower than expected trade deficit data,” said Sunil Sharma, Chief Investment Officer, Sanctum Wealth Management.

Rupee spurts 35 paise on easing crude prices

New Delhi, Oct 16 (PTI): Gold prices fell by Rs 70 to Rs 32,180 per 10 gram at the bullion market Tuesday owing to slackened demand from local jewellers amid a weak trend overseas.

Silver followed suit and eased by Rs 50 to Rs 39,700 per kg, hit by lower demand from industrial units and coin makers.

Traders attributed the fall to easing demand from local jewellers and retailers following a weak trend overseas.

Globally, gold fell by 0.07 per cent to USD 1,226.90 an ounce and silver by 0.20 per cent to USD 14.73 an ounce in Singapore.

“You need a decisive government, you need a government which has a coherent policy and is absolutely clear in the direction you have to move, and you need a government which is not dependent on those who would try to pull the government down by their strategies,” Jaitley said in his video conference address.

He said a weak leadership at the Centre could not have handled the IL&FS issue the way the present government did. “A crisis in the making was handled with swiftness”. Debt-ridden IL&FS and its group companies have defaulted on loan repayments, following which the government, earlier this month, superseded its Board by appointing eminent banker Uday Kotak as its Chairman.

Outlining the challenges, Jaitley said global oil prices have risen on account of “artificial shortages” and for India, being a net buyer of oil, any rise in global crude prices adversely impacts the country.

officials, the rupee option in paying for Iranian oil is under discussion and the Iranians have been accepting Indian currency as payment.

Iran became India’s second biggest oil supplier during the first quarter (April-June) of the current fiscal, with OMCs opting for the heftier discounts offered by the Iranians, who thus replaced Saudi Arabia in this position, according to official data.

India imported 5.67 MT oil from Iran during the quarter.

Analysts attribute the change last year to the output cuts initiated by Saudi Arabia and the increased availability of heavy grades of crude from Iraq at a higher discount, which are more suited for use in Indian refinery complexes.

Briefing reporters here after the first India-US 2+2 dialogue last month, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had said that the sanctions were not intended to adversely impact countries like India but were intended to hurt the sanctioned country.

New Delhi, Oct 16 (PTI): India needs strong and decisive leadership at the Centre to promote growth, get rid of poverty and transform the country into a developed nation, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said Tuesday.

With general elections due early next year, Jaitley said the country does not need an ‘unstable coalition’ government and individuals who lack understanding of policies at the helm.

Swift decision-making of the Modi government has helped in handling the IL&FS crisis, Jaitley said while addressing the 98th annual session of Assocham. “Today, what India needs is not individuals with lack of understanding of policies, lack of understanding of directions or inherently unstable coalition, but a government and leadership with absolute clarity about the direction,” Jaitley said.

He said a “strong and decisive leadership at the Centre” is needed to main-

New Delhi, Oct 16 (IANS): State-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) have placed orders for importing crude oil from Iran next month when US sanctions on Tehran are due to take effect, Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said on Tuesday.

Reiterating India’s stand, Pradhan told reporters here on the sidelines of the 3rd India Energy Forum that the current surge in global crude oil prices was more a result of the market sentiments being hit by geo-political factors which includes Iran and said there were no issues of availability.

Indian Oil Corp and Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd together have placed orders for 1.25 million tonnes (MT) of crude oil from Iran, the Minister announced earlier this month.

Following US President Donald Trump withdrawal from the US-Iran nuclear deal, sanctions were reimposed on the Persian Gulf nation which will take effect from November 4.

Kabul, Oct 16 (IANS): At least 19 members of the Afghan security forces were killed and 16 others were injured in Taliban attacks, few days ahead of parliamentary elections in the country, officials said on Tuesday.

A group of Taliban fighters launched attacks on three security check posts in Daikundi province’s Kijran area, which borders the provinces of Uruzgan and Helmand -- Taliban strongholds -- at around 1.00 a.m.

Thirteen members of the security forces were killed and 13 others were injured, Daikundi Governor’s spokesperson Ali Akbar Natiqi told Efe news.

In another attack in Samangan province’s Darahe-Sof district, the Taliban on Monday night killed six police officers, including provincial deputy police chief Tahir Khawani, officials said.

Amidst global outrage, CNN on Monday reported that the Saudis were preparing a report that will acknowledge that Khashoggi’s death was the result of an interrogation that went wrong.

The interrogation was intended to lead to his abduction from Turkey, the news channel said citing two unnamed sources.

“One source says the report will likely conclude that the operation was carried out without clearance and transparency and that those involved will be held responsible,” the report said, cautioning that things could change as the report is still being prepared.

“Fang has close links to Zhang’s superiors and subordinates because they were both proteges of disgraced former CMC vicechairmen Guo Boxiong and Xu Caihou, with Fang being the most skilful opportunist, closely following Guo,” the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported earlier.

Gen. Guo Boxiong and Gen. Xu Caihou, who were Vice Chairmen of the CMC under previous President Hu Jintao, were accused of heavy corruption including selling the top posts of the PLA for the highest bidder.

Washington, Oct 16 (PTI): Saudi Arabia is preparing a report in which it is likely to admit that dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi, missing since October 2, died during an interrogation at its consulate in Istanbul, according to a media report.

Khashoggi, 60, is feared to have been killed inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

The incident has resulted in a global outrage, more so in the US as he lived here as a legal permanent resident and worked for ‘The Washington Post’.

Khashoggi, a US resident, vanished on October 2 after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Turkish authorities suspect he was abducted and murdered by the Saudis.

But Riyadh insists that the journalist, a known critic of Saudi King Salman, had left the building and that murder claims are “baseless”.

US lawmakers have been demanding scrapping of the USD 110 billion mega defence deal with Riyadh, whereas heads of several companies, CEOs, newspapers have announced not to attend an upcoming finance conference in Saudi Arabia.

President Donald Trump on Monday talked to the Saudi King, during which the latter flatly denied having any knowledge of the missing journalist.

Dhaka, Oct 16 (IANS): A Dhaka court will announce its verdict on former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia in the Zia Charitable Trust corruption case on October 29.

Judge Md Akhtaruzzaman of the Special Court-5 in Dhaka fixed the date after rejecting the petition filed by Khaleda’s lawyer seeking adjournment of the hearing of the graft case, bdnews24. com reported.

The case was filed against the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) chief by the AntiCorruption Commission (ACC) eight years ago. The ACC had accused Khaleda and three others of embezzling 31.54 million taka ($397,435) from the Zia Charitable Trust.

In 2010, the trial began at a makeshift court inside the Old Dhaka jailhouse.

However, Khaleda skipped court appearances citing her illness, prompting the judge to proceed with the trial in the absence of the key suspect.

She was sentenced to five years in prison on February 8 in a separate graft case involving the Zia Orphanage Trust. In this case, Khaleda and five others, including her elder son Tarique Rahman, were accused of embezzling over 20 million taka ($253,164) from the orphanage trust during her 2001-2006 Prime Minister term.

Khaleda has reportedly been facing dozens of cases, including five on corruption charges and 15 for masterminding violence during their anti-government movement since 2014.

ood scientists at Cornell University in New York have used virtual reality (VR) to show how people’s perception of real food can be altered by their surroundings.

The study, published in the Journal of Food Science, found that humans not only relish the sweet, savory and saltiness of foods but they are influenced by the environment in which they eat.

“When we eat, we perceive not only just the taste and aroma of foods, we get sensory input from our surroundings -- our eyes, ears, even our memories about surroundings,” said Robin Dando, Associate Professor of Food Science and senior author of the study.

To reach this conclusion, nearly 50 panelists who used VR headsets as they ate were given three identical samples of blue cheese.

The panelists were unaware that the cheese samples were identical, and rated the pungency of the blue cheese significantly higher in the cow barn setting than in the sensory booth or the virtual park bench.

To control for the pungency results, panelists also rated the saltiness of the three samples. The researchers found there was no statistical difference among them.

“The purpose of this project was to develop an easy-to-implement and affordable method for adapting virtual reality technology for use in food sensory evaluation,” said Dando.

Our environment is a critical part of the eating experience. “We consume foods in surroundings that can spill over into our perceptions of the food,” Dando added.

Sakshi, Bajrang to lead India at Wrestling C’ship

Sakshi Malik (File)

New Delhi, Oct 16 (IANS): Olympic medallist Sakshi Malik and Asian Games gold medallist Bajrang Punia will spearhead the 30-member Indian contingent at the World Wrestling Championships to be held in Budapest, Hungary from October 20 to 28.

The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) has selected 10 members each in freestyle, Greco-Roman and

women’s wrestling categories. The burden of India’s medal hunt at the worlds will mostly be on the shoulders of Bajrang (65kg) and Sandeep Tomar (57kg) in the men’s freestyle category.

In the women’s section, Sakshi (62kg), Pooja Dhanda (57kg) and Ritu Phogat (50kg) are expected to be strong medal contenders in their respective weight categories.

Usain Bolt offered big move to Malta

Sydney, Oct 16 (IANS): Usain Bolt’s Australian football career could come to a premature end after the owners of the Maltese club Valletta FC offered the Olympic champion a two-year contract on Tuesday. The offer comes mid-way through Bolt’s preseason trials for Australian league (A-League) club, the Central Coast Mariners, and less than a week after a trial match performance which netted the sprinter two goals, reports Xinhua news agency.

Behind the offer is the newly appointed management of Valletta, including chief executive officer Ghasston Slimen who said, “a champion is always welcome and at Valletta FC we believe nothing is impossible.”

Valletta competes in the top tier of the Malta domestic football league and has expressed aspirations of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League next season. “We will treat him as a player, we will have him training specifically without media and he’s not going to be treated as a runner, he will be treated as a footballer,” Slimen told the national broadcaster. “We want to offer him a two-year contract so he will relax, and so he knows he won’t be going anywhere.” Bolt has drawn record crowds to his appearances with the Mariners which the club says should qualify him for the ‘marquee player’ fund from the Football Federation Australia (FFA), a potential incentive to keep Bolt in Australia.

Mourinho charged for ‘abusive’ comments

L o n d o n, O c t 1 6 ( Ag e n c i e s ) : M a n chester United manager Jose Mourinho has been charged over comments he made in Portuguese to a television camera after his side’s win over Newcastle, BBC reported.

It is claimed Mourinho used “abusive, insulting or improper language” after the 3-2 comeback victory at Old Trafford on 6 October.

The Football Association used a lip reader and the 55-year-old’s remarks were interpreted as offensive.

Mourinho had been under pressure amid reports he would be sacked.

His side had been 2-0 down to winless Newcastle at half-time of the Premier League game, but they scored three goals in the final 20 minutes to turn the match around.

A f t e r t h e g a m e, Mourinho said he could “cope with the manhunt” against him.

A 90th-minute winner from Alexis Sanchez ended a run of four games without a win, United have recorded their worst league start for 29 years and are eighth in the table.

Mourinho has until 18:00 BST on Friday to respond to the charge.

Denmark Open: Saina in 2nd round Nations League: England beat Spain 3-2

Saina Nehwal

Odense (Denmark), Oct 16 (IANS): Star shuttler Saina Nehwal survived a scare before progressing to the second round of the Denmark Open but it was heartbreak for Rio silver medallist P.V. Sindhu, who crashed out after being stunned by unseeded American Beiwen Zhang in the opening round of the women’s singles event here on Tuesday.

Saina overcame stiff

resistance from Hong Kong’s Ngan Yi Cheung before eventually pocketing the match 20-22, 21-17, 2422 in 81 minutes. However, third seed Sindhu lost 1721, 21-16, 18-21 to Zhang in another tough opening encounter that lasted 56 minutes.

Saina, who lost to Cheung in their sole previous meeting two years ago, came back from a game down before eventually

holding her nerve to advance to the next round.

The match went down to the wire with both the shuttlers going for the kill.

But the London Olympics bronze medallist finally managed to keep her cool and save two match points at 21-20 and 22-21 in the decider which helped her pocket the pulsating tie.

Earlier, Sindhu succumbed to her third consecutive loss to American Zhang, who also beat the Hyderabadi at the Indian Open in February this year.

After meekly losing the opening game 17-21, the 23-year-old Sindhu came back strongly in the second and did not allow the American to move ahead before finally winning it 21-16.

In the decider, the American bounced back in style to first take a 12-8 lead before Sindhu hit back to make it 14-13 in her favour.

Seville (Spain), Oct 16 (IANS): England inflicted the first defeat of Luis Enrique’s reign as Spain coach when they beat the Spanish 3-2 at the Benito Villamarin Stadium in a UEFA Nations League match here.

Monday night’s match saw England produce a magnificent counter-attacking display in the first half and then defend well in the second as the Spanish threw everything at them, reports Xinhua news agency.

Spain had a double opportunity in the fourth minute with Jonny Otto having a shot blocked for a corner, while from the corner Jordan Pickford blocked Marcos Alonso’s close range effort after Ramos’ flick.

However, England opened the scoring in the 16th minute after a smart combination between Harry Kane and Marcos Rashford teed up Raheem Sterling to

beat David de Gea with a first time shot.

The Spanish looked to control the ball, but could only manage a Thiago Alcantara shot straight at Jordan Pickford before England doubled their lead.

Kane controlled Pickford’s long clearance and held off Sergio Ramos before threading the ball to Rashford to beat his Manchester United team-mate De Gea. It was 3-0 in the 38th minute as Sterling doubled his tally for the night after an excellent move involving Ross Barkley, who crossed the ball for Sterling to sidefoot home.

The Manchester City forward hadn’t scored for his country in 2 years and had netted twice in just over half an hour as England produced an outstanding first 45 minutes.

The Spanish looked to pin England onto the back foot after the break, but

Raheem Sterling set England on their way to a memorable night in Seville when he scored the opening goal.

produced little until Paco Alcacer and Dani Ceballos replaced Iago Aspas and Saul in the 57th minute.

Alcacer got Spain back into the game with his first touch of the ball, barely a minute later with a smartly flicked header from corner to score his 9th international goal and his third

in two games since Luis Enrique recalled him to the national side.

Spain were pushing England deep into their own half and the visitors were unable to launch the counter-attacks with such effect, but after a horrible error by Pickford which almost gifted Rodrigo a goal

or a penalty had the referee been less permissive, Spain failed to create many clear chances until the final moments of the 7 minutes of injury time when Morata hit the cross bar.

Moments later, Ramos made it 3-2 with a header which turned out to be the last action of the game.

Umesh replaces Shardul for first 2 ODIs vs Windies N E W DELHI , OCT 1 6 (IANS): Pacer Umesh Yadav was on Tuesday named as a replacement for injured Shardul Thakur in Indias squad for the first two One-day Internationals (ODI) against the West Indies on October 21 and 24.

Thakur, who was handed his Test debut in the second Test at Hyderabad, suffered a groin injury after bowling just 10 deliveries before sitting out of the whole match.

“The All-India Senior Selection Committee has named Umesh Yadav as Shardul Thakur’s replacement in India’s

squad for the first two ODIs against Windies. Thakur suffered a right adductor tendon injury and has been ruled out of the ODI series,” a BCCI release stated.
