Nuclear war at any moment: N Korea UNITED NATIONS, OCT 17 (AGENCIES): North Korea has warned that a nuclear war may break out at any time as the situation on the Korean peninsula has reached the “touch-and-go point”. According to media reports, North Korea’s deputy UN ambassador Kim In-ryong told the UN general assembly’s disarmament committee that Pyongyang has the right to possess defense nuclear weapons.

The diplomat warned that nuclear war could “break out at any moment” if the U.S. continues to lead military activities around the Korean Peninsula, following a spike in tensions regarding Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons advancement in recent weeks and threats of more tests to come.

“The situation on the Korean peninsula where the attention of the whole world is focused has reached the touch-and-go point and a nuclear war may break out at any moment,” Kim In Ryong said.

In prepared remarks that Kim didn’t read out loud, he said North Korea would have “no intention to use or threaten to use

nuclear weapons” provided “one does not take part in the U.S. military actions against” North Korea, according to Reuters. He said North Korea is the only country in the world that has been subjected to “such an extreme and direct nuclear threat” from the United States since the 1970s.

The Nor th Korean delegate’s remarks follow a ratcheting up of rhetoric from top U.S. officials in recent days in line with increasingly bellicose statements from President Donald Trump in public remarks and on Twitter. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told

CBS’ Face the Nation Sunday that Trump supports his diplomatic effort to broker peace with North Korea – despite tweets that appear to the contrary.

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Sunday asserted that his diplomatic efforts to relax tensed relations with North Korea will continue “until the first bomb drops”.

Tillerson averred that United States President Donald Trump has instructed him to try and reduce stress between the two nations through diplomatic efforts.

Meanwhile, the U.S.

has stepped up military exercises with allies like Japan and South Korea in the region in recent weeks, following North Korea’s latest string of missile and nuclear tests. On Monday evening, U.S. Pacific Command conducted its first night combined training mission with a B-1B bomber alongside Japanese and South Korean planes in an area north of Japan. South Korea and the U.S. began a week-long naval exercise on Monday involving roughly 40 ships, including the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier.

In a speech before the U.N. in September, Trump threatened to “totally destroy” North Korea if it continued to threaten the U.S. or its allies.

North Korea has reportedly stepped up a propaganda campaign against the U.S. in South Korea in recent days. Pyongyang conducted two nuclear tests in July as well as a series of missile tests, leading some in the U.S. government to conclude it now has the ability to pair a nuclear warhead with an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of reaching the U.S. mainland.

PAC said that since no breakthrough has been made by the police it would be compelled to take any course of action deemed fit after the expiry of the fresh ultimatum. It may be mentioned that Dimapur-based civil society organisations (CSOs) October 9, 2017 resolved to set up a PAC to deal with L Doulo’s case and act as “screening/monitoring point to detect illegal immigrants.”

Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, OCT 17 (NPN): Unregulated pumping of groundwater in Dimapur valley over the years has led to drastic reduction of groundwater levels in dense settlement areas, as per the report of geology and mining (G&M) department. The department has noted that pumping water out of the ground at a faster rate than it is replenished over long-term has caused various problems.

Concerned over looming water crisis, the Na-

galand minister of geology and mining and border affairs, Mmhonlumo Kikon, on Tuesday underscored the importance of creating public awareness on artificial recharge of groundwater, which aims at augmentation of ground water reservoir.

Speaking as chief guest at the public awareness programme on artificial recharge of groundwater in Dimapur valley at the directorate of geology and mining here, the minister said that in today’s world people could expect con-

flicts and crises over all resources and most important was on water.

He pointed out that emerging conflicts over water was not only in the global and state level but could happen between colonies in a town like Dimapur unless a strategy did not come up to replenish the groundwater.

Kikon therefore said that it was important to create awareness starting from the micro level as the twin impact of climate and rapid-urbanization have been affecting the groundwater system.

Further, the minister urged G&M director to initiate a discussion with district administration on having a joint committee along with ward and colony representatives on ground water management, saying the matter should not be kept isolated to some technical persons.

no work’ stir from today

DIMAPUR, OCT 17 (NPN): To protest against non-release of salary, the Nagaland RMSA Teachers’ Associaiton-2016 (NRMSATA-16) on Tuesday announced launching of phase-I agitation “No pay, no work” from October 18- 25, 2017.

In a press release, NRMSATA-2016 president, Vinoto Achumi, and general secretary, Kezhothito Keyho, pointed out that the association has received no positive response till date despite serving numerous reminders to various affiliated departments for the release of the salary.

“The association’s request has been sidelined time and again proving us that the government only demands the absence of duties and services towards the public,” the signatories said.

Therefore, the association said it has unanimously agreed to resort to “forceful measures” in the aftermath of ultimatum period, which was served on October 9 last.

If its demands were still left unaddressed within the stipulated period, the association cautioned that it would be compelled to launch phase-II stir in the form of sit-in protest at the different premises daily.

Meanwhile, the association has informed convenors and representatives of each district to attend the joint executive meeting on October 19 at TU Building, near the Old NST station, (Cont’d on p-11) Kohima.

DIMAPUR, OCT 17 (NPN): Eastern Nagaland College Students’ Union (ENCSU) has reiterated resentment against the department of higher education and the state government for failing to justify delay in disbursement of post-matric scholarship besides disbursing on instalment basis.

In this regard, ENCSU through its media cell has posed a few questions for the department to clarify at the earliest.

Pointing out that the ministry of tribal affairs (education section) on December 28, 2016 sanctioned the amount of Rs. 13.44 crore to the state, the union asked why did the department withhold the amount for a long period and subsequently delayed in submitting utilization certificate? ENCSU also sought to know who authorized withholding money for many months without disbursing it on time?

It further asked the department to furnish copy of central ministry notification/directive to disburse the scholarship on

instalment basis.

According to ENCSU, the department had mentioned on several occasions that the scholarship would be paid in two instalments. However, it said that in the first instalment the students were credited only in quarter.

Therefore, ENCSU has asked the department to “justify the reason behind for manipulating the system.”

Claiming that department had sent proposal of scholarship to ST students of Nagaland for 2016-17 on October 28, 2016, the union, in this regard, asked how could the department finalize the lists of the beneficiary students beforehand.

Meanwhile, the union has appealed the government to withhold the disbursement of scholarship on instalment basis until the department justify the reason. ENCSU also appealed to all the students particularly eastern students not to utilize the amount credited in their respective account till justice was delivered.

Khango Konyak elected as new UNLFW chairman CM calls on Nitin Gadkari DIMAPUR, OCT 17 (NPN): NSCN (K) chairman, ‘lt. gen.’ (retd) Khango Konyak has been “unanimously elected” as the new chairman of the United Nationals Liberation Front of West South-East Asia (UNLFW).

A press note issued by UNLFW publicity committee comprising of ‘col’.

committees and organizations were fully formalised by the house and also approved the front’s logo, nomenclature and the motto.

It may be noted that NSCN (K) chairman, late SS Khaplang was the founding chairman of the front.

UNLFW further said that the house also deliberated on various issues confronting the Wesean region and resolved to jointly work out programs, policies and strategies to tackle relevant issues of the region, it said.

It also “reaffirmed to have

peaceful approach towards settling any internal issues among the front’s member organisations and also to strive to build friendly relations with other nonmember revolutionary organisations professing same principles and ideologies.”

It further warned other non-UNLFW organisations operating in the WSEA region “to desist from crediting the front of any actions or activities unless on consultation and agreement even in the event of joint-ventures.”

Since all the WSEA organi-

sations were not members of the front, UNLFW said there was a need to clearly differentiate between UNLFW and other WSEA organisations currently maintaining the same base area. “Using WSEA doesn’t necessarily mean UNLFW which at present is comprised of NSCN/GPRN, ULFA (I), NDFB and KLO,” the signatories said.

Meanwhile, the house also firmly “resolved and directed the member organisations to refrain from using the front’s platform in

any way including issuing of statements to the media and foreign parley without the prior approval or consent of the UNLFW chairman.”

UNLFW publicity committee also said that the house deliberated on the appeal of PDCK (Karbi) and NLFT (Tripuri) for admission to the front. The matter has been endorsed to the chairman for necessary favourable actions at an earliest, it added.

The front also adopted “15 points rules and regulations” as the disciplinary guidelines mandatory for all affiliated member organisations. The house affirmed to work together in abidance to the rules and regulations, keeping in mind the front’s motto: “One people, one region, one vision”.

The house also observed a minute silence and obeisance in remembrance and honour of late S.S. Khaplang.

BJP Kohima district hits back at Visasolie

DIMAPUR: BJP Kohima district has accused BJP president State unit Visasolie Lhoungu of trying to lure the party officials of Kohima district, frontals and mandals, who have stepped down seeking early resolution on the “false allegations labelled against BJP Kohima District President Dr Khriezovolie Kesiyie”.

In a statement, BJP Kohima district general secretary, Seyiekhrielie Nagi alleged that Visasolie instead of responding to BJP Kohima district on the allegations against president BJP Kohima district, has stooped so low by luring the mandal presidents and compelled them to stand against the unanimous decision of BJP Kohima district.

In this regard, the BJP Kohima district has clarified that BJP units of 9th Kohima Town A/C and 11th Northern Angami-II A/C have not joined their side. However, State BJP president has managed to divert the decision of the president of 14th Southern Angami-I Viseto Natso and 15th Southern AngamiII Pusato Zecho against the president BJP Kohima district.

Therefore, taking serious note on the “unwarranted statement” published in some local dallies, the BJP Kohima district members, frontals and mandals who have stepped down from the party, held an emergency meeting on October 17 and discussed the matter thoroughly with both the presidents of 14th-SA-I and 15th

SA-II, the statement added.

During the course of interaction, the two presidents revealed that BJP Nagaland State president had fooled them by mentioning that “their stepping down from the respective posts will mean they are resigning from the party membership as well”.

Since the intention of BJP Nagaland State leader was to break the united force as they have rejected the false allegations against BJP Kohima district president, the presidents of 14th-SA-I and 15th-SA-II, expressed regret on their blind move and stated that they have finally understood the “ill-intention” of the State BJP, which was bad for the party.

Therefore, the release stated that they have decided to return to the fold and remained firm in support of Dr. Khriezovolie Kesiyie, president, BJP Kohima district and to remain loyal to the party in the right cause. The two units’ presidents further said that they have lost confidence on State BJP president due to his self-vested interest to break the unity of the BJP Kohima district.

The members, who have stepped down from BJP Kohima district, frontals and mandals from five assembly constituencies further reiterated their demand that BJP Nagaland state should make efforts in clearing the pressing issue for the betterment of BJP party rather than trying to destroy the party.

SHILLONG, Oct 17 (Agencies): With the Border Security Force (BSF) stepping up vigil along the unfenced stretches along the IndiaBangladesh border, cattle smugglers have now taken to breaching fences along the border.

Last month, BSF troops nabbed a fencecutter at Chikenbari in the South West Khasi Hills district.

The BSF, in a release, said cattle smuggling has resumed through the India-Bangladesh border areas in Meghalaya after a brief interlude. “They are making daring bids to cross over the cattle to Bangladesh, but somehow they have not been successful,” it added.

The BSF has, in response, taken a series of measures to curb cattle smuggling along the border. In one week, BSF troops have seized 121 cattle and contraband items worth more than Rs 23 lakh while they were being smuggled out from India to Bangladesh on the international border.

“The BSF troops deployed at Nayabazar in East Khasi Hills District noticed suspicious movement near the international border. The Special Operation party rushed towards the spot but the miscreants ran away, taking cover of thick vegetation and bad weather. The BSF troops recovered 12 cattle, worth more than Rs 2.5 lakh, that were being smuggled from India to Bangladesh,” the

Spiritual leader Dalai Lama with Manipur Assembly Speaker Y Khemchand after arriving at Imphal Airport on Tuesday. (NP)

On Wednesday, the Dalai Lama will be given a public reception at the Convention Centre followed by a felicitation programme at the same venue.

The Dalai Lama will interact with members of the public and dignitaries.

Among other, the peace convention will be attended by Buddhist monks from various parts of the globe including neighbouring country Myanmar and other Southeast Asian countries.

In the meantime, security in Imphal city, particularly in the vicinity of Raj Bhavan and in and around the City Convention Centre, has been beefed up as part of preventive measure to check any untoward incident during the visit of the spiritual leader.

The security was tightened considering the sensitiveness of his visit to the Northeastern region of India which is being strictly monitored by China.

A series of mopping operations were being conducted at various places in Imphal West and Imphal East since the last few days.

On Tuesday, police conducted search operation at the vicinity of the Raj Bhavan and detained seven persons for further verification after they failed to produce valid documents to establish their identities.

Mnp commemorate Anglo-Kuki War

Centenary celebration of Anglo Kuki War at Lonpi village in Chandel district.

Correspondent

IMPHAL, Oct 17: The centenary commemoration of Anglo-Kuki War (19171919) was held on Tuesday at Lonpi village in Chandel district with the theme “In defence of our ancestral land and freedom.”

Befitting homage was paid to the gallant and patriotic spirit of warriors under the leadership of late Ngulkhup, the then chief of Lonpi (Mombi) who stood firmly against the mighty British army defying the imposition of forced labour during the WW-I.

State education minister Th Radheshyam, saluting the immense sacrifices made by the brave forefathers defending the land, called upon the people to continue waging collective war against poverty, illiteracy and underdevelopment in order to make the commemoration a meaningful one.

Asserting that hatred can be conquered by love, he urged all to promote love, peaceful coexistence by emulating the patriotic spirit of the forefathers.

Maintaining that different communities living

in the state have their own weaknesses and strengths, the minister said weaknesses can be made up by the strengths so that a common good for Manipur can be achieved.

The education minister further assured to do the needful after consulting with the chief minister for inclusion of ‘Anglo-Kuki War’ in State school curricula.

He also assured all possible assistance to fulfill the proposal for declaration of October 17 as state holiday.

Also speaking on the occasion, State water resources and YAS minister

Letpao Haokip said the valor of the forefathers in defending the land should not “be let to go in vain.”

He urged all concerned to stop pursuing narrow agendas and rather work for the common good of all. He also distributed red blankets to various chiefs to mark the centenary celebration.

Other speakers urged all concerned to follow the footsteps of the brave forefathers by promoting unity among brothers and forgiving each others’ mistakes.

They also called upon the gatherings to shun pursuing clan-centric agendas and show goodness instead of promoting hatred for the larger good of the people.

They added that the celebration will help to establish the rightful place of the iconic leaders of the Kuki War of Independence.

Educaiton minister Radheshyam also unveiled a centenary commemoration monument and inaugurated the foundation stone for construction of AngloKuki War Museum cum Kuki Heritage Centre while Lhukhosei Zou, chairman, ADC Chandel inaugurated the Anglo-Kuki War Memorial Park.

Angry mob damages vehicle in South West Garo Hills Tura, Oct 17 (Agencies): Angered at the slow response to a fire emergency in the village of South West Garo Hills, an angry mob damaged a vehicle of the Meghalaya Energy Corporation Ltd (MeECL) early Tuesday morning.

According to police, a fire broke out through a short circuit around midnight after which the Fire and Emergency Service (F&ES) team was called.

While the F&ES team reached the spot quickly to try and douse the fire, the nature of the fire (electrical) meant they had to wait until the lines were shut down before any attempt could be made.

However when locals visited the Garobadha MeECL office they could not find any office bearers to assist in shutting down the line leading to an angry mob pelting stones at the vehicle that was there. The stoning led to damage of the vehicle though the mob quickly moved away after police got to the spot and pacified the crowd.

The fire was later doused after the power lines were cut.

Experts suggest early quake warning system in Shillong

SHILLONG, Oct 17 (Agencies): Shillong, which is surrounded by seismic faults, is sitting on an earthquake-prone zone and an early warning system can be useful in reducing the extent of damages, said experts at a programme at State Convention Centre on Monday.

Dominik Lang, Earthquake Hazard and Risk at Norwegian Seismic Array (NORSAR) in Norway, said, “Some of the faults have never created a bigger earthquake in our lifetime but history shows that there are earthquakes happening somewhere in the world suddenly in a place where we haven’t had experienced earthquakes before,” he said at the oneday workshop on development and implementation of a real-time Earthquake Loss Information System for Shillong (ELISA).

Referring to the North East, Lang pointed out that the region has witnessed the most severe earthquakes in the entire South East Asia.

With rapid urbanisation around the globe, earthquake poses serious threat to life and property, particularly in areas located on active faults, said PK Ryngnga, Assistant Professor of Geography at NEHU. According to her, an early warning system can be useful for reducing hazards if the spatial relation between cities and sources is favourable for such warning and citizens are trained to respond to warning messages.

“An earthquake early warning system forewarns an urban area of a forthcoming strong shaking normally with a few seconds to a few tens of seconds of warning time, i.e. before the arrival of the destructive S-wave part of the strong ground motion,” Ryngnga said.

“Even a few seconds of advance warning time will be useful for pre-programmed emergency measures for various critical facilities such as rapid transit vehicles and high speed trains to avoid potential

derailment,” she added.

Speaking on ELISA, Ryngnga said it would be useful to minimise fire hazards, control shutdown of high technological manufacturing operations and also to safeguard computer facilities to avoid loss of vital data bases.

The ELISA project will be conducted in three phases. The first phase will focus on scenario based ELE for Shillong, the second on installation of local seismic strong motion network and the third will be implementation of real time ELE system (ELISA), said Lang.

The workshop explored the practical approach to ear thquake early warning system in Shillong, which has the Himalayan collision zone to the north and the Indo-Burman subduction zone to the east, said the NEHU professor. State PWD, NEHU, Meghalaya Architects Forum, Assam Engineering College and Department of Civil Engineering participated in the workshop.

BJP to begin campaign in Tripura from November 1

AGARTALA, Oct 17 (Agencies): With a target set on toppling the Marxist government, the Bharatiya Janata Party has decided to start its campaign from November 1 for Tripura 2018 Assembly elections.

As decided, the party would organize meetings, conventions followed by padayatra in all the mandals throughout the state from November 15 till December 15. BJP national president Amit Shah is about to arrive here to take part in padayatra and Prime Minister Narendra Modi would visit the state to address election rallies in two different phases in December and January.

“Our Prime Minister and party president would also arrive here to take part in the election campaign,” said BJP Tripura vice president Subal Bhowmik.

Besides, the party has also decided to campaign against the misrule of the Left government using the social media as a vital tool.

“The Marxist party believes in violence. Both in Kerala and Tripura, they have triggered violence. Many BJPRSS activists were killed in the violence in Kerala. We would highlight the misrule and violence of the Left government to people through social media,” said BJP general secretary Ram Madhav said while addressing a social media workshop held at Town Hall in Agartala on Monday.

Aizawl, Oct 17 (PTI): An apex body of the Mizos has decided to include abolition of the Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC) through legal means in its agenda for the YMA general conference beginning Tuesday. The Young Mizo Association (YMA) has decided to go ahead with its plan despite having received a letter from Mizoram Assembly Speaker Hiphei on September 26 requesting it not to include the issue in its agenda. President of the central committee of the YMA Lalbiakzuala said, the matter will be on their agenda despite the speaker’s request.

Hiphei, in his letter to Lalbiakzuala, had requested him not to include the Chakma issue in the agenda of the YMA general conference as it could create tension among the communities in the state and also endanger the existence of two other autonomous district councils - the Lai Autonomous District Council and the Mara Autonomous District Council. “As the senior-most elected legislator among the minority communities - Lai, Mara and Chakma, I appeal to you not to put forward the agenda on Chakma issue in the coming YMA general conference,” the letter had stated. Lalbiakzuala, however, said that inclusion of the matter in the agenda would not encourage violent or communal approach and intimidation. The proposed agenda said that the central committee of the YMA should take legal steps to abolish the CADC as it was created “illegally and unconstitutionally.”

Football roadmap

ootball in India is not new. In fact, some 100 years ago on July 29,1911, eleven barefoot Indian natives created history by winning a football match. The men wore the green and maroon jerseys of Mohun Bagan and beat a British team called the East Yorkshire Rifles 2-1 to win the IFA Shield. It was the first time an Asian team had beaten any European team to win a football championship. Calcutta was then the Mecca of Indian football and it was also an achievement for people of the north east when Dr. Talimeren Ao led the first Indian Olympic football team at the 1948 London Olympics. Indian football was then ascending and though the country did not go beyond the qualification stage, it continued to produce world class players. India is currently ranked 105th in FIFA rankings and rather than showing improvement, its ranking keeps getting worse every year.

Why has India, which was on the ascendency in football, fallen to the bottom rank, when other countries like Burkina Faso ranked 55th under FIFA but with less than 2 % of India’s population (125 crore) or Croatia ranked 18 but with hardly 4 crore people are way ahead?.The current U-17 FIFA World Cup being hosted by India, is a rare opportunity which gauged the standard of Indian football. Unfortunately, India lost all the group matches by big margins: to USA by 3-0, to Colombia by 2-1 and Ghana by 4-0. Unfortunately, though football enjoys overall popularity in India yet it is miles behind Cricket when it comes to funds and infrastructure. While football is played by over 200 nations, cricket is played only by 18 former colonies of the British empire. The standard of Indian football can only improve if the little and few and far between successes are not blown out of proportion. For instance, during the league stages, India played like any other team but lost 2-1 to Colombia, a not very strong team. However, the misplaced praise went to the single goal scored which was billed as a historic goal; as if to mean it was the decider. Football needs to be based on grass root foundation and a league system that promotes and rewards talented players. In addition, there is need to hold few more international standard tournaments in India like the India Super League (ISL). The other domestic league, known as the I-League has not been very successful in comparison with the ISL in terms of attendance.

The I-League has an average attendance figure of 5618 (2013–14 I-League) whereas the ISL has seen a tremendous increase in attendance with an average of 23,760 (2014 Indian Super League season). In addition, the ISL is watched by more fans on TV than the world cup. Having gripped the imagination of football lovers, the ISL now has to go deeper in developing and promoting grass root level football where young children can be brought up. The most important issue: It will take time, but India will get there. Rome was not built in a day!

DailyDevotion The Key of the Greater Work …I say to you, he who believes in Me,…greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

—John 14:12 Prayer does not equip us for greater works— prayer is the greater work. Yet we think of prayer as some commonsense exercise of our higher powers that simply prepares us for God’s work. In the teachings of Jesus Christ, prayer is the working of the miracle of redemption in me, which produces the miracle of redemption in others, through the power of God. The way fruit remains firm is through prayer, but remember that it is prayer based on the agony of Christ in redemption, not on my own agony. We must go to God as His child, because only a child gets his prayers answered; a “wise” man does not (see Matthew 11:25).

Prayer is the battle, and it makes no difference where you are. However God may engineer your circumstances, your duty is to pray. Never allow yourself this thought, “I am of no use where I am,” because you certainly cannot be used where you have not yet been placed. Wherever God has placed you and whatever your circumstances, you should pray, continually offering up prayers to Him. And He promises, “Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do…” (John 14:13). Yet we refuse to pray unless it thrills or excites us, which is the most intense form of spiritual selfishness. We must learn to work according to God’s direction, and He says to pray. “Pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest” (Matthew 9:38).

There is nothing thrilling about a laboring person’s work, but it is the laboring person who makes the ideas of the genius possible. And it is the laboring saint who makes the ideas of his Master possible. When you labor at prayer, from God’s perspective there are always results. What an astonishment it will be to see, once the veil is finally lifted, all the souls that have been reaped by you, simply because you have been in the habit of taking your orders from Jesus Christ.

t was a disappointing memorial gathering a few days. I thought that the meeting held to attract wide attention towards the murder of Kannada journalist Gauri Lankesh at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, would draw many journalists, particularly the senior ones, to the venue. But it turned out to be a gathering of no more than 30-35 people, very few among them being journalists.

It has become a habit with senior journalists to stay indoors and not mix with the ordinary scribes. I can understand that editors are too busy, planning and editing the paper. But what about those who are a peg lower? They behave as if they are equally busy and have no time for such meetings, even if it relates to the fraternity.

But all these journalists, after retirement, come down to the earth because their utility is very limited.

They are among many who are trying to get space in the paper, writing columns.

Not many make it because the readers are interested in those who have fought

on principles. Those who gave their all, refusing to be cowed down, are very few.

Gauri Lankesh was one of them. She has been a loud dissenting voice against the excesses committed in the society. The ideals Gauri stood for as a journalist and social activist—she edited a Kannada weekly Gauri Lankesh Patrike— are unlikely to be forgotten even if she is no more in our midst. Gauri had been getting threatening messages every now and then but she was never afraid.

Apparently, she was ready for any kind of sacrifice, including putting her life under threat.

An outspoken critic of the Hindutva politics, Gauri was gunned down by unidentified assailants at the entrance of her residence in Bengaluru. Of course, there were initial protests all over, including the Press Club of India condemning the killing, saying, “A fearless and independent journalist who gave voice to many causes and always stood up for justice has been shot dead in the most brutal manner in order to silence her voice.”

Attacking directly to the BJP-led massacres of Muslims and other minorities, she declared, “I oppose Advani’s Ram Mandir Yatra and Narendra Modi’s genocide of 2002.” In a 2016 interview, she also expressed how her journalism exposed her to “the rabid hate the Hindutva brigade and Modi Bhakts have for its critics and naysayers.”

Gauri knew her life was in danger. Yet, she brushed aside all threats and continued to defy the establishment and plugged the same line as an activist. In the last article she wrote for her weekly, Gauri Lankesh Patrike, she challenged the archaic forces in her own inimitable way.

But the Hindutva forces never forgave her.

As a parting shot, she wrote: “I know very well that you are all devastated.

I am also unhappy that I left suddenly without a word. But tell me, what else could I do? Tell me what was my fault in this final separation? This Tuesday

also began just like the hundreds of other Tuesdays of my life. But I did not even have a hint that it would end with me being permanently taken away from all of you. Till that moment when the assassin’s bullet split my chest and made me roll down to the earth, my mind kept thinking about the next day’s issue of the paper. I am starting this last conversation with all of you with the belief that you will understand this critical situation…”

True, Gauri had a premonition, witnessing her own death and describing it exactly the way it happened.

She doesn’t falter even in the face of death. This is a lesson for journalists. At times, they have to face even the gravest situations.

They cannot their eyes shut to the realities. This is what the profession expects from them. Gauri was a rare species of journalists. She said in the article that she was willing to pay the price for what she stood up in rebellion for her India and had no regrets. “I have a sense of fulfillment,” is what she said. Such words are rare.

Post-mortem

Speeches on Naga national martyr’s day My Beloved Countrymen, Today, the 18th of October, on the occasion of the Naga National Martyr’s Day, I on behalf of the Naga National Council thank and salute all our martyrs who have laid down their lives for our Naga Nation and pay my homage to each and every one of them.

In the life of an individual or in that matter of a nation, when it has no history of its own, there can be no right, power or honor for that individual or that Nation. In some cases, even if, an individual or a Nation knows its own history and its rights, yet does not know how to raise it or is afraid to voice it out or when it speaks out is muffled by the stronger people or nation or is subdued and remained a subjugated people or nation.

Likewise, when the Nagas tried to voice out its history and live as a free nation amongst the nations of the world without any fear of subjugation or dominance from any other foreign nation, Government of India disallowed us to speak out our rights, refused to hear us, tried to subdue us through intimidation and ultimately sent her troops into our land to drive us out from our own land and to fight with us.

In such a situation, the Nagas were compelled to form its own government, the Federal Government of Nagaland (FGN) on 22nd March, 1956 and started to defend its rights.

In the war to defend its rights from the aggressor, ie, India, several thousand Nagas laid down their lives for the Nation. It was with the intention to honor and to pay homage to all those who have laid down their lives for the Nagas, this 18th October was set aside to be “Naga National Martyrs Day” – A day of remembrance, a day to honor our

martyrs and to pay our homage to our martyrs.

So on this auspicious day, let us all ask one pertinent question – if there is no one to protect the rights of the Nagas and to make the supreme sacrifice, where will be the Nagas or where will the Nagas be heading to?

If we were to be intimidated to surrender then, we may still be living as “British Naga Hills District” under the Assam Government. Other Naga tribes too may be living in the same condition as they lived then.

However, some patriotic Nagas, Naga Freedom Fighters refusing to bow down to all the various tactics employed by the Government of India to cow them to surrender, made the ultimate sacrifices and that is why, we are having our history today. For these martyrs, we have gained respect of others and that is how our lives have improved than yesterday.

If one is to tell the truth, even the present day “Nagaland State” where we have increased in number, gained knowledge and prospered with all the developments we are trumpeting about are, but for the sacrifices of our Freedom Fighters. However, many people keeps on enjoying the fruits of sacrifice of our martyrs without knowing the actual facts.

As the Naga proverbial saying goes “pig digs, dog jumps on it” so also the same is quite applicable in our context in the present situation. Today, the national workers are struggling for their survival whereas those who betrayed the Nation are enjoying their spoils. God sees all the imbalances that is prevailing in our society and it is my unflinching faith that He will do justice one day.

The saddest part which we have been seeing today is that we are not defeated by our

enemies, they will never be able to defeat us, but we are defeated by our own people. Our enemies are using some of our people to defeat us which is a constant agony for me. These people are reveling upon the sweat, tears and blood of others, but surely, judgment will come upon them or their descendents on day, so beware of it.

The present crisis of disintegration of our national struggle into various factions and doing business with it has saddened me the most. All the factions needs to be united again like in the past and form a National Government and elect some national leaders to represent the Nation. Factional leaders cannot represent the Nation. If the factions can re-unite again, than the wrongs committed by each faction can be covered by the very fact of unity, otherwise, keep in mind, each will carry its own wrongdoings to its graves.

Whether people may like it or not, I have to speak the truth.

The Naga National Council (NNC) is the root, the trunk and is the solid rock of the Naga National Politics. The Naga National history begins with NNC, it has the people’s mandate and therefore, the final end will also be with NNC as all the other factions branched out from NNC. Lastly, remember that we are yet to reach our goal our final destination, others are yet to recognize our Sovereignty.

Therefore, on this, Martyr’s Day, let us all rededicate ourselves to the Nation and be united to proceed to reach the final destination.

May God bless each and every one of you.

Thank you. KUKNALIM. Gen (Retd) Thinoselie M. Keyho, president, Naga National Council, Nagaland

Dear Naga people, Today, 18th October, is the Naga National Martyrs’ Day. Every year, on this date, we the National workers and the people remember our Naga Martyrs’ who laid down their precious lives for the freedom of Nagaland. From 1952 till now, so many patriots have been killed defending sovereign our homeland from Indian and Burmese (Myanmar) forces.

Thanks to these martyrs, who fought and died for freedom, our inalienable sovereign rights still stand today, making the Nagas a distinct people in this part of the world.

The Naga patriots, who laid down their lives in thousands, were fighting for Naga sovereignty only.

Therefore, we the living people must remember the brave Martyrs who have preserved the historical and political rights of freedom for the Naga people as a whole.

Therefore on this solemn occasion I, on behalf of the NNC, salute the Naga Martyrs and their families as we observe the Day in prayer and petition to God Almighty.

The Naga political campaign for sovereign rights began long before the British left, was reaffirmed before India became independent and maintained ever since by the people and the NNC in particular.

Mainland Nagaland is the crucible of all politics in the contiguous Naga-inhabited areas and the North-East region. And NNC in particular is the parent of all politics in the region. Therefore, historically and politically nobody can deny the facts of the Naga struggle in the region.

After seven long decades of struggle to get legally indisputable recognition of our political status, the six Naga National Political Groups are currently in dialogue with Government of India (GOI) by official invitation. The fact that the present GOI, knowing full well that the Naga political struggle started

from mainland Nagaland and was mandated by the people, is serious about settling the political problem of the Nagas is a positive sign and welcomed by the majority in the Naga Homeland.

And this serious political dialogue should result in an amicable and acceptable political solution ensuring honor and dignity for the Nagas to create permanent peace in the region.

Today, the NNC is also gravely concerned about immigrants, especially the Bangladeshis called Miyas, in the Naga Homeland, who are creating many evils. In particular, they are enticing local Naga girls for marriages of convenience. If this trend is unchecked then the mixed blood children will dominate the rich and blessed land of ours and this is one of the most serious problems the Naga people are facing today. Therefore, before it is too late, the Naga people as a whole must chase them out from the entire land without mercy.

In this matter of grave concern, the whole North East indigenous people must rise up together to do the job with full and joint cooperation physically, strategically and logistically before illegal Bangladeshi immigrants take over this rich and beautiful region of ours.

Now, I am happy to report that Naga people from all walks of life are coming forward in support of six Naga national political groups.

This is of utmost importance because only with the strength of unity can we achieve our aims.

Therefore, the NNC on behalf of the united majority six NNPGs appeal to the remaining three groups to join the mainstream politics of Nagaland mandated by the people for political settlement in the best interest of all for peace in the homeland.

God Bless my Nagaland.

Time for health revolution under the aegis of Ayurveda: Modi

New Delhi, Oct 17 (AGENCIES): The government is working towards setting up an Ayurveda hospital in each district of the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday, October 17, 2017 and asserted that time had come for a “health revolution” under the aegis of the traditional medicine system.

Addressing a gathering after dedicating the country’s first All India Institute of Ayurveda to the nation here, the prime minister pitched for affordable and

accessible healthcare for the poor on ‘Ayurveda Day’ today.

The day is also being celebrated as Dhanwantari Jayanti (Dhanteras) across India.

“It is very necessary for the expansion of Ayurveda that there is a good hospital with all facilities... in every district of the country.

“The AYUSH Ministry is working swiftly in this direction, and in more than three years, more than 65 Ayush hospitals have been developed,” Modi said.

Noting that the world

Narendra Modi

was heading “back to nature and wellness”, Modi described Ayurveda as India’s strength and urged those working in the sector to revive it.

He also asked experts

from the field to find medicines which can, like allopathy, give immediate relief to people but without side-effects.

Noting that people across the world were getting attracted towards good health as well as wellness, the Prime Minister suggested that time was ripe for an “atmosphere of Ayurveda”.

He also batted for better and modern packaging of ayurvedic medicines.

The Prime Minister urged private players to use part of their corporate social responsibility funds to

help strengthen Ayurveda.

“We have seen the IT revolution in last 30 years.

Now, time has come for a health revolution under the aegis of Ayurveda. Let’s pledge to strengthen, revive Ayurveda,” Modi said at the event.

The Prime Minister suggested a relook at the existing Ayurveda syllabus and underlined the requirement for standard guidelines and treatment in the medicine system so it is not overpowered by allopathy.

Modi pitched for awarding certificates after

the completion of each level of Ayurveda education.

Terming swachhata (cleanliness) a simple preventive healthcare mechanism, he said the Union government had built more than five crore toilets in three years. “ Pe o p l e ’s p e r c e p tion about cleanliness has changed which is reflected in the fact in some people have started referring to toilets as ‘izzat ghar’”.

According to the Prime Minister, efforts were allegedly made to destroy “India’s strengths” and its

traditions such as Yoga and Ayurveda were belittled during the “era of slavery” (pre-independence period).

“Attempts were even made to reduce the faith that Indians had on them.

However, after getting freedom from slavery, there was hope that whatever was left would be preserved.

“But it did not become a priority. Things were left to fate. Those nations who leave their heritage behind are destined to lose their identity,” he said.

He said the Ayush ministry in collaboration

with the Ministry of Skill Development should develop short term courses for students and farmers.

The farming of medicinal plants will generate new employment opportunities.

Modi added that the Ministries of Ayush and Agriculture could guide farmers on how to sow medicinal plants in their fields.

This would also help farmers boost their income in line with the government’s plan to double their income by 2022, when India attains 75 years of ind ependence.

BJP asks Congress to break silence over Vadra issue

Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi and Robert Vadra.

New Delhi, Oct 17 (AGENCIES): The BJP on Tuesday asked Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul to break their “silence” over media reports that claimed Robert Vadra had “links” with fugitive arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari.

Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who was fielded by her party to attack the Congress leadership, said the silence of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul will be construed as acceptance of charges against Vadra.

Citing the media report, . Sitharaman alleged

that a London house linked to Vadra was refurbished

by Bhandari, who also made arrangements for his travel abroad.

She also claimed that an amount of 7.5 lakh Swiss franc was deposited in a bank account of Bhandari and asked if there was a connection between this and the money spent on refurbishing the London house linked to Vadra.

The minister, citing the media report, alleged that there were at least three transactions between them with “serious financial implications”.

NEW DELHI, Oct 17 (PTI): Economic affairs secretary SC Garg on Tuesday said the temporary disruptive effect of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) is over as the manufacturing sector recorded positive growth of 3.1 per cent in August.

Commenting on the twin data on industrial output and price situation, he said that the benign and moderate inflation has become the order of the day. “Manufacturing grew by 3.1 per cent in August after two months of negative growth of -0.5 per cent and -0.3 per cent. Temporary disruptive effect of GST is over,” he said in a tweet.

Overall, industrial production grew at a nine-month high of 4.3 per cent in August, mainly on account of robust performance of mining and power sectors coupled with higher capital goods output. India’s economic growth slipped to a three-year low of 5.7 per cent in the first quarter of the current fiscal. Despite slowdown, the Reserve Bank of India at its policy review meeting earlier this month kept the key interest rate unchanged at 6 per cent, citing upward trend in inflation.

New Delhi, Oct 17 (Agencies): BSNL and Micromax have come together to take on the Reliance Jio Phone with Bharat 1 mobile. Bharat 1 is a 4G VoLTE enabled feature phone created by state-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited and Micromax. The 4G feature phone is priced at Rs 2,200 and it will come to the market on October 20, reports Financial Express. In India, over 50 crore people still do not have a smartphone or have no internet connectivity.

Homegrown telecom operator BSNL plans to tap this market in partnership with Micromax. Jumping on the bandwagon of cheap phones

reached a point of saturation, resulting in complaints from different sections of people, Kumar said.

The Lok Janshakti Party led by Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan has recently demanded job reservations in private firms.

Similar demand has been made in the past by other political outfits as well.

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had made a case last year for extending the reservation policy to the private sector.

“It is high time to think about reservation in private sector. It should be achieved through debate and dialogue,” he had said.

Bihar chief minister and senior JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar had also made a strong case a few months ago for extending reservation in private sector.

Petroleum Corp Ltd said in August the company was assessing whether US crude could replace Nigerian barrels; it made its first buy of US oil in September.

One supertanker carrying nearly 2 million barrels discharged in India earlier this month, according to Eikon shipping data, while two other vessels carrying a combined 3 million barrels are set to arrive in November.

Prior to this, US crude rarely went to India, with only one month this year - February - showing deliveries, according to US EIA data through July.

In August, IOC bought 950,000 barrels of light sweet Eagle Ford shale oil and 950,000 barrels of heavy sour Mars crude for end-October delivery from trading firm Trafigura. In October the company bought 1 million barrels each of US Southern Green Canyon (SGC) and WTI Midland crude.

In October, India’s Reliance Industries Ltd, the world’s largest refining complex, purchased 1 million barrels of Midland and a similar-sized cargo of Eagle Ford crude for November delivery.

New Delhi, Oct 17 (PTI): Joining the debate on job reservations, Niti Aayog vice chairman Rajiv Kumar has said he is against extending the policy to the private sector, while admitting that more efforts are needed to generate more employment.

Several political leaders are advocating job reservation for SC/ST in private sector.

“There should not be job reservation in the private sector,” Kumar told PTI in an interview. He was asked to comment on the contentious issue. He however made a case for generating more employment, saying that the government is able to provide employment to 10 -12 lakh youths, though 60 lakh young people join the labour force every year.

Foreign refiners, including those in India, have bid up those physical grades against the US crude benchmark to multi-year highs, traders and brokers said. That includes onshore grades from the Permian Basin in West Texas and the Eagle Ford further east, as well as offshore US Gulf grades including Mars Sour and Southern Green Canyon.

In June, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump met and discussed energy exports to India. Since then the Modi administration has been encouraging more crude imports by waiving some shipping requirements.

Indian refiners Indian Oil Corp, Bharat Petroleum Corp and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited were given a special permission by the shipping ministry to import oil from the United States until March.

“They’ve been stepping up to be a sizeable importer; they’re looking to diversify away from the Middle East,” said John Kilduff, partner at energy hedge fund Again Capital LLC in New York.

NEW YORK/NEW DELHI, Oct 17 (Agencies): India is set to emerge as a key market for American crude exports in coming months, as refineries are ramping up “test” purchases of US grades to diversify their imports.

US exports recently set a weekly record with nearly 2 million barrels of crude a day sent overseas.

But shipments to India have been rare, with just a few deliveries since the US lifted its ban on crude exports in late 2015.

Indian refineries are starting to increase purchases as the country seeks to secure more supply from outside the Middle East.

Refiners are testing both US sweet and sour crudes in their facilities, a common practice when importing crude from new sources.

“A lot of these (Indian refiners) want to see what it’s like if they run it,” said one Houston-based oil broker. “They want to get a taste of US crude.”

Those refiners are taking advantage of a wide spread between US oil and other global benchmarks, which has created an attractive discount on American crude grades.

US-backed forces take full control of IS’ capital Raqqa

Fighters of Syrian Democratic Forces gesture the ‘V’ sign at the frontline in Raqqa.

Suicide bombers, gunmen kill 47 in attacks on Afghan forces director in Gardez. Doctors and nurses rushed to attend to the wounded women, children and police filling the corridors where some bodies also lay. Outside, university students formed a queue to donate blood, an AFP photographer said.

The attack, claimed by the Taliban in a tweet, began when two suicide car bombs blew up near the training centre, which is close to the Paktia police headquarters, making way for the gunmen to start their assault, the interior ministry and local police said. “Most of the victims are civilians who had come to the police headquarters to get their passports and national IDs,” according to a statement from the Paktia governor’s office.

A student at a nearby university who was in class at the time of the attack said he heard “a big boom” which caused the building to shake and windows shatter.

“As we were trying to find our way (out of the building) I heard a second blast and then the dust and dirt covered us in the class. Several of my classmates were wounded by broken glass,” Noor Ahmad told AFP.

Lo n d o n, O c t 1 7 (Agencies): A Spanish judge has jailed two key members of the Catalan independence movement.

Jordi Sánchez and Jordi Cuixart, who lead prominent separatist groups, are being held without bail while they are under investigation for sedition.

The men were leading figures in the 1 October independence vote, which the Madrid government regards as illegal.

A protest over the detentions has begun in Barcelona and other demonstrations across Catalonia are expected later.

Mr Sánchez, who heads the Catalan National Assembly (ANC), a proindependence organisation, and Mr Cuixart, leader of Omnium Cultural, appeared before the High Court in Madrid on Monday.

They are being investigated over a protest on 20 September in which a crowd blocked Civil Guard officers inside a building in Barcelona, Catalonia’s regional capital.

Following the referendum, Catalan leader Carles

Jordi Cuixart (left) and Jordi Sánchez (right) faced a judge in Madrid on Monday.

Puigdemont signed a declaration of independence, but halted its implementation to allow negotiations.

He has called for talks to take place over the next two months. However, the Spanish government has warned that Catalonia must revoke the declaration or face direct rule from Madrid. Mr Puigdemont has also angered Madrid by refusing to clarify whether or not he declared independence last week.

Mr Puigdemont, who has been given until Thursday to clarify his position, hit out at the government on Twitter following news of Mr Sánchez and Mr Cuixart’s detention.

“Spain jails Catalonia’s civil society leaders for organising peaceful demonstrations. Sadly, we have political prisoners again,” he wrote.

In a video recorded before his court appearance and released on his Twitter account after his detention, Mr Cuixart instructs separatists to “never lose hope because the people of Catalonia have earned their future”. Pro-independence supporters have called for further protests, demanding the men’s release.

Just hours before the ruling, the High Court freed the head of Catalonia’s police force, Josep Lluis Trapero.

Slain Panama Papers scribe’s son slams Malta’s ‘crooks’ Valletta, Oct 17 (IANS): The son of an investigative journalist killed in a car bomb attack in Malta has hit out bitterly at the island’s “culture of impunity” and the “crooks” in charge.

Daphne Caruana Galizia, 53, who led the Panama Papers investigation into corruption in Malta, died in an explosion shortly after she left her home in Bidnija, near Mosta, on Monday, the Guardian reported.

Her car, a Peugeot 108,

was destroyed by an explosive device so powerful that it scattered large pieces of the car around a nearby field.

“My mother was assassinated because she stood between the rule of law and those who sought to violate it,” Matthew Caruana Galizia wrote in a Facebook post.

“But she was also targeted because she was the only person doing so. This is what happens when the institutions of the state are

incapacitated: the last person left standing is often a journalist. Which makes her the first person left dead.”

Several thousand people gathered at an impromptu candlelit vigil in Sliema, near the island’s capital Valletta, on Monday night to mourn the journalist, described as a “one-woman WikiLeaks” whose blogs were as fiercely critical of the island’s politicians as they were of its organised crime gangs.

The slain journalist’s

son said he would never forget “running around the inferno in the field, trying to figure out a way to open the door, the horn of the car still blaring, screaming at two policemen who turned up with a single fire extinguisher to use it”.

Caruana Galizia, 53, ran a hugely-popular blog highlighting cases of alleged high-level corruption among politicians across Malta’s party lines.

“There are crooks everywhere you look now. The

situation is desperate,” she wrote in a post published barely half an hour before the bomb exploded.

Witnesses told police the journalist had just left her home and was on a road near the village of Bidnija in northern Malta when the bomb detonated.

Gardez, Oct 17 (AFP): Two separate suicide and gun attacks on government forces in Afghanistan left nearly 50 dead and more than 200 wounded, officials said today, the latest devastating assault on beleaguered security forces.

The Taliban claimed the most deadly of the two assaults, a coordinated attack on police in the southeast Afghan city of Gardez that left hospital officials calling for blood donations and desperate scenes as relatives queued for news of their loved ones after the hours-long gun battle.

A separate ambush blamed on the Taliban in the neighbouring province of Ghazni on Tuesday killed 15 security officials with 12 wounded on a bloody day for government forces.

The assaults are a fresh blow as militants step up their offensives across Afghanistan, with security forces already beset by corruption, desertions and suffering shocking casualties over the past year. “The hospital is overwhelmed and we call on people to donate blood,” said Shir Mohammad Karimi, deputy health

that the US-backed force could get bogged down in a protracted battle for the last 10 percent of the city where the jihadists had prepared for a last stand.

The SDF said the fighting was fierce Tuesday around the hospital and stadium, but their recapture was declared in quick succession, effectively ending

KATHMANDU, OCT 17 (PTI): Former prime minster Prachanda-led CPN (Maoist Centre) on Tuesday decided to quit the Deuba government in Nepal, days after it joined a Leftist alliance of main opposition CPN-UML to fight the next general elections, according to a media report. Prachanda’s Maoist Centre was key coalition partner of the Deuba government and it had been facing criticism for staying in the government despite forging an alliance with the main opposition.

CPN (Maoist Centre) on October 3 announced an alliance with the country’s largest communist bloc CPN-UML, ahead of the general and provincial elections next month.

The elections are seen as the final step in the Himalayan nation’s post-war transition to a federal democracy.

Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba during the final parliament meet on October 14 had hinted towards removal of CPN (MC) ministers from the government.

tions in Raqa have finished, but there are clearing operations now under way to uncover any sleeper cells there might be and remove mines,” Sello said added.

The announcement came just days after the SDF said it was launching the final phase of its operation to retake the city.

There had been fears

IS’s more than three-year military presence in the city.

Sello said an official statement announcing “the liberation of the city” would be made soon.

The anti-IS advance saw the recapture on Monday of the infamous AlNaim traffic circle, which residents dubbed the “Roundabout of Hell” because the jihadists used it for public beheadings and crucifixions.

As the sun was setting over Raqa’s west Monday, a group of fighters gathered for the dabkeh -- the jumpy line dance traditional in the Middle East -- to celebrate their native city’s near-recapture.

Three months after Iraqi forces retook Iraq’s Mosul, the largest city the jihadist group controlled, the loss of Raqa will be another nail in the coffin for IS’s brutal experiment in statehood.

RAQA (SYRIA), Oct 17 (Agencies): US-backed forces said Tuesday they had taken full control of Raqa from the Islamic State group, defeating the last jihadist holdouts in the de facto Syrian capital of their now-shattered “caliphate”.

The Kurdish-Arab Syrian Democratic Forces, who have been fighting inside the northern city since they broke in on June 6, flushed the few hundred IS fighters left in the city from their last positions in the main hospital and the national stadium.

“Everything is finished in Raqa, our forces have taken full control of Raqa,” the alliance’s spokesman Talal Sello told AFP. He said the SDF was combing the city for any remaining jihadists who had not surrendered or been killed, and added that a major mine-clearing operation was already under way.

As compared to urban areas, Imchen said the statistics clearly indicated that the people in rural areas were deprived of coverage under the social security scheme and were also denied access to institutional finances due to absence of networking.

He therefore appealed to the banks to work on a mission mode in order to bring the people of the state under comprehensive coverage of the social security schemes.

State chief secretary, Pankaj Kumar IAS in his welcome address said the purpose of organizing the programme was to sensitize the people and create awareness on the schemes and programmes of financial inclusion and to reach out to maximum number of people.

A bench of Justices Madan B Lokur and Deepak Gupta agreed to examine Centre’s plea who rushed to the apex court challenging NCDRC’s order to bring all government

hospitals providing free treatment to patients under consumer protection law.

The centre contended that the free services provided by government authorities could not be brought within the domain of consumer law.

Making government hospitals liable for medical negligence, the apex consumer court had last year directed Delhi’s Safdarjung Hospital to pay compensation of Rs two lakh to a parents for not treating their born baby properly leading to her death one and half months

after being admitted in the hospital. The consumer court held that the hospital was negligent in not admitting the baby in the nursery ICU where she could have been given proper medical care. The hospital had treated the baby in general ward and had refused to admit her in nursery on the ground that it was their policy not to admit out born baby to nursery as there was chance that it could cause infection to other babies.

“Safdarjung hospital should have provided nursery facilities to the infant who was in critical condition. The facility was not made available arbitrarily and arrogantly on flimsy ground. A badly needed facility was denied on the basis of arbitrary and discriminatory policy of the hospital which is totally unacceptable,” the consumer court had said.

The court also refused to accept plea of the hospital that it was providing free treatment to patients

and it could be made liable under consumer law. “Free services would also be a service and the recipient a consumer under the Act,” the court had said.

As NCDRC’s will have a wider ramification, bringing all government hospital within the ambit of consumer law, the Centre filed appeal in the apex court challenging the verdict. Referring to SC’s 1995 verdict, additional solicitor general Pinky Anand and advocate Rajesh Ranjan, appearing for the government, said that doctors and hospitals who render free services to every person were not covered under the Act. Agreeing with the Centre’s submission, the bench said that the issue needed to be adjudicates and issued notice on government’s petition..” In the meanwhile, there shall be a stay of operation of the impugned judgment and order passed by the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.”

Calcutta HC stays withdrawal of CRPF from Darjeeling KOLKATA: The Calcutta High Court on Tuesday put on hold the Centre’s decision to withdraw 15 companies of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) from Darjeeling and Kalimpong. The paramilitary personnel were deployed to maintain law and order during the agitation for a separate Gorkhaland state.

The Court has put a stay on the Union government’s order till October 27.

Earlier, the Centre had decided to withdraw 10 companies of CRPF, including three women companies, and three companies of Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) personnel from Darjeeling. The process was scheduled to start from Wednesday.

On Monday, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had accused the Centre of trying to “divide” the state. She also raised the issue with the Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh. And following which the state government today approached the High Court.

UP CM Adityanath defends Taj Mahal Gorakhpur, Oct 17 (AGENCIES): The Taj Mahal was made by the blood and sweat of “Bharat Mata’s sons” and its protection was the responsibility of the Uttar Pradesh government, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Tuesday.

Announcing that he would visit Agra on October 26 to review tourism schemes, the Chief Ninister said the Taj Mahal was a historical monument regardless of the emperor who built it.

There was a Rs. 370 crore work plan for the city and it was the government’ds duty to provide proper security and facilities to tourists Adityanath’s comments come a day after BJP MLA Sangeet Som questioned the Taj Mahal’s place in India’s heritage and observed that history would be rewritten to erase Mughal emperors from it.

“It is immaterial as to who and how the Taj Mahal was built... It was made by the sweat and blood of Bharat Mata’s sons,” Adityanath said in Gorakhpur.

“It is famous the world over for its architecture... it is a historical monument and

Yogi Adityanath

its protection and further development for tourism is the responsibility of the government,” he said.

The government was working for tourism development in the Kalinjer Fort (in Banda) and prepared schemes for the development of Rani Laxmibai’s Fort in Jhansi and the Chunar Fort (in Mirzapur), he said.

In Lucknow, Principal Secretary (Information) Awanish Awasthi confirmed to journalists that the Chief Minister would visit the Agra Fort and review other schemes for the city.

Som’s comments on the Taj Mahal came after the Adityanath government reportedly omitted the 17th century monument from an official booklet on tourist destinations.

“Many people are pained to see that the Taj Mahal was removed from the list of places [tourist destinations]. What type of history” he asked at a public meeting in Meerut on Monday.

His comments prompted an angry response from All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen leader and Lok Sabha member Asaduddin Owaisi. He asked if the government would tell tourists not to visit the monument.

The BJP stepped into the row with party spokesperson G V L Narasimha Rao describing the Muslim rule in India as “barbaric and a period of incomparable intolerance” while asserting that its members could hold any opinion they want on specific monuments.

Fo l l ow i n g r e p o r t s about the Taj Mahal being left out of the booklet, the State government issued a press release that said, “Tourism projects worth Rs. 370 crore are proposed, under which schemes worth Rs. 156 crore for development of parks and various facilities are meant for the Taj Mahal and its surrounding areas in Agra.”

Many of the Rohingyas who arrived since Sunday told the UNHCR they were forced to leave when their villages were set on fire. Many of them walked for a week before they could cross over to Bangladesh.

Around 60 per cent of the Rohingya refugees were children, according to data from Unicef, which warned that it will be forced to cut back the aid it provides them if it does not receive fresh contributions soon to respond to this emergency.

Donald Trump urges Hillary to run in 2020

China claims global support for BRI

Washington, Oct 17 (IANS): US President Donald Trump has jokingly encouraged his former presidential rival Hillary Clinton to run against him in 2020, saying that she lost to him last year partly because “she wasnt good at what she did”.

“Oh, I hope Hillary runs. Is she going to run?

I hope. Hillary, please run again!” Trump said during a Rose Garden news conference with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday.

Trump broke through the so-called “blue wall” in a surprise electoral victory in November last year, winning states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Clinton won the national popular vote by nearly 3 million votes but Trump tried to cast doubt on that achievement, citing widespread voter fraud without presenting evidence to back up such a claim.

Earlier on Monday, Trump had returned to his mocking nickname for Clinton, writing in a morning Twitter message that he “was recently asked if Crooked Hillary Clinton is going to run in 2020? My answer was, ‘I hope so!’”

The President was asked about comments from the former Democratic presidential nominee defending the right of National Football League (NFL) players to kneel during the national anthem.

“She’s wrong... That’s why she lost the election,” Trump was quoted as saying by the Washington Post.

Clinton said on Sunday that Trump’s attack on the NFL players is one of the “very clear dogwhistles” the President sends to his political base, Fox News reported.

Most of the protesting players are black and Trump’s core political supporters are overwhelmingly white, the report said.

“Actually, kneeling is a reverent position,” Clinton said in London, where she was promoting her book about the 2016 campaign.

“It was to demonstrate in a peaceful way against racism and injustice in our criminal system.”

At the news conference, Trump said that anyone kneeling during the playing of the national anthem at sporting events is “sitting, essentially”.

“You’re disrespecting our flag, and you’re disrespecting our country,” he said. The NFL should have suspended some players for multiple instances of kneeling, Trump said.

“But if Hillary Clinton actually made the statement that a form of sitting down during the playing of our great national anthem is not disrespecting, then I fully understand why she didn’t win,” he said.

“Look, there are a lot of reasons she didn’t win, including that she wasn’t good at what she did.”

Chinese companies has been welcomed by the host countries,” he said.

“China has developed partnerships of various forms with about 100 countries, regions and regional organisations.

C h i n a ’s c i r c l e o f friends is widening day by day,” he said. Launched in 2013 as “one belt, one road”, the BRI involves China underwriting billions of dollars of infrastructure investment in countries along the old Silk Road linking it with Europe.

The CPEC passes through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), over which India has conveyed its protests to China. The area covers Karakoram mountain ranges, including the Siachen glacier.

India skipped the Belt and Road Forum (BRF) in May this year due to its sovereignty concerns over the CPEC, a flagship project of China’s prestigious Silk Road project.

The Trump administration recently threw its weight behind India’s opposition to CPEC, saying the project passes through “disputed territory” and no country should dictate the Belt and Road initiative.

“In a globalised world, there are many belts and many roads, and no one nation should put itself into a position of dictating ‘one belt, one road’,” US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis had told members of the Senate Armed Services Committee during a

Congressional hearing.

The massive investments especially into countries like Sri Lanka and Pakistan has raised criticism over these countries’ ability to pay back the loans as well as secrecy surrounding the investments.

Sri Lanka which owed about USD eight billion of Chinese loans, recently signed agreement to hand over its Hambantota port to China for long lease under USD 1.2 billion debt swap.

Defending the BRI, Tuo said China advocated international cooperation on production capacity aimed at leveraging the production capacities of all countries to service their developed needs and to build a more balanced inclusive global industrial chain.

“It is not for the purpose of transferring backward capacity. Actually the logic is simple. In a highly open international market Chinese companies face fierce competition from local companies and international firms.

Backward and surplus capacity has no market.

Only high quality capacity can win the competition,” he said. The Communist Party of China’s once-in-afive-year Congress which is set to endorse a second term for the Chinese President Xi Jinping and elect a new set of leaders to work with him would begin here tomorrow and conclude on October 24.

Islamabad, Oct 17 (IANS): Two suspected US drone strikes on Tuesday killed 11 people on the mountainous Pakistan-Afghanistan border even as Pakistan cautioned the US to show restraint.

Tuesday’s strike was the third drone strike in the area in the last 24 hours. Geo News said the attack in Anjargi area targeted the hideouts of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Jamat-ul-Ahrar and Haqqani network.

On Monday evening, US drone strikes reportedly left nearly 20 militants dead.

Pakistan Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif then cautioned the US that it should not conduct any attack in Afghanistan or Pakistan at a time when the Afghan peace talks had resumed in Oman.

Beijing, Oct 17 (PTI): China today put up a staunch defence of its Belt and Road Initiative ahead of the ruling Communist Party’s key Congress, claiming that the project has global support and Chinese firms have invested USD 560 billion overseas and created millions of jobs in host countries.

Addressing the media in a carefully choreographed press conference where reporters were assigned questions in advance, CPC’s spokesman Tuo Zhen responded to queries on the criticism related to the BRI of which the USD 50 billion ChinaPakistan-Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a part.

Skirting references to the CPEC, Tuo said since the BRI initiative was launched, “It was recognised and welcomed by the international community.

The initiative has been incorporated into several UN documents.”

Refuting criticism that China is transferring its excess industrial capacity through the BRI, Tuo said “between 2013 and 2016 Chinese companies have invested about USD 560 billion overseas, paid over USD 100 billion in various kind of taxes to the host countries and created millions of jobs for the local communities.”

He said the investments have helped the receiving countries to transform their resources and labour power for development. “The investment by

France to enter quarters

Guwahati, Oct 17 (Agencies): A late penalty by Abel Ruiz sent Spain into the quarter-finals of the FIFA U-17 World Cup India 2017 after a 2-1 victory over France in Guwahati on Tuesday. The result takes the European champions into a last-eight showdown against Iran in Kochi on Sunday.

The opening half was a cagey affair between these two European heavyweights, with little to separate the two sides through the first half hour. That changed on 34 minutes, as France took the lead through Lenny Pintor’s fine move and finish after Amine Gouiri picked him out on the left side of the Spain box.

Then, just before half-time, Spain drew level through Juan Miranda. The Barcelona defender made an unattended run into the France box to meet Ferran Torres’s cross from the right after France failed to clear their lines.

As the match seemed destined for a penalty shoot-

out at the full-time whistle, Spain were awarded a decisive spot-kick in the final minutes after substitute Jose Lara went down under the close attentions of defender Oumar Solet in the France box. Captain Ruiz stepped up to convert the penalty and send Spain into the last eight of the competition.

Speaking to the media, Kerala Cricket Association secretary Jayesh George said the KCA was supporting Sreesanth ever since the ban was lifted.

“We had made arrangements for him to undergo a full fitness test so as to make him match fit. Now with this verdict, we will now have to respect it,” said George.

Now the only option before Sreesanth is to approach the apex court and, according to sources close to the bowler, he is likely to go in appeal against this verdict.
