Train mows down over 50 in Amritsar

AMRITSAR (PB), OCT 19 (PTI): At least 52 people were killed and 72 injured Friday evening after a crowd of Dussehra revellers that had spilled onto railway tracks while watching burning of Ravana effigy was run over by a train near Amritsar, officials said.

The train was coming from Jalandhar to Amritsar when the incident occurred at Joda Phatak where at least 300 people were watching ‘Ravana dahan’ at a ground near the tracks.

Sub Divisional Magistrate Amritsar I Rajesh Sharma said 52 people have died and at least 72 injured have been admitted to Amritsar hospital. As the effigy was lit and the fireworks went off, a section of the crowd started retreating towards the tracks where a large number of people were already standing to watch the event, officials said.

However, two trains arrived from the opposite direction at the same time giving little opportunity to people to escape, they said.

Several people were mowed down by one of the trains, they said. Wails and cries of people filled the air as friends and relatives

NIA nabs kingpin of FICN from Guwahati GUWAHATI, OCT 19 (AGENCIES): A National Investigation Agency team from Hyderabad arrested the main accused involved in fake currency network from Guwahati.

According to ANI report, Mohammad Akbar Ali carried a bounty of Rs. 25,000 on his head. He has been caught in a case related to the seizure of high quality Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) worth Rs. 5,01,500 which were seized from the possession of one Saddam Hossain in September 2015 at Visakhapatnam.

During the investigation, it was revealed that Hossain had travelled to Malda (Bengal) from Bengaluru on the instructions of Amirul Hoque and collected high quality Fake Indian Currency Notes from Roustam on four occasions in 2015. He was part of a larger group of persons involved in smuggling high quality Fake Indian Currency Notes from across the international borders and circulating it in Bengaluru.

frantically looked for their near and dear ones. Severed bodies, including of many children, were still lying on the accident site hours after the incident with angry people not allowing authorities to remove them.

It was heart rending sight as the dismembered body parts laid strewn on the blood-soaked ground.

Many bodies could not be identified. People shouted slogans against local MLA Navjot Kaur Sidhu, who was present as chief guest during the event. She later said she rushed to the hospital immediately after the incident. There was shock and disbelief as panic-strick-

DIMAPUR, OCT 19 (NPN): Taking note of various statements and views expressed in social and print media in connection with the 100th year celebration of Naga Club (NC), Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) has conveyed its deepest regret and apology for the confusions that arose out of proposed celebration.

NSF president Christopher Ltu and general secretary Imtiyapang Imsong said the federation was constrained to issue this statement with special emphasis to the statement of Kohima Village Council (KVC) and by chairman Naga Club, Krurovi Peseyie published in the local dailies.

NSF said it appreciated the non partisan standpoint of KVC, which was in the interest of the people to come together and also made reference of the relevant past events for factual records. NSF therefore appealed saying: “if all of us can still collectively seek ways where Kohima Village Council and every Naga can proudly participate and celebrate our proud history together in the most befitting manner.”

Kiphire roads cry for improvement

Road clearance work underway between Sitimi and Seyochung in August 2018.

Correspondent

KIPHIRE, OCT 19 (NPN): Deplorable condition of roads remains unchanged in Kiphire district, which is one among the 115 identified Aspirational Districts in the country.

Kiphire administrative headquarters established on June 16, 1952 was declared full-fledged district on January 24, 2004, but the roads in Kiphire are in poor condition as in 1950s. Despite cores of rupees pumped in for construction and maintenance of roads, the roads remain the same and in

many places the roads are left ignored.

The pathetic road leading to Zisaji Presidency Government College, the only college in the district, located some three km away from Kiphire town, poses threat to the commuters as the road has been left unattended by the responsible department. The particular road, which also leads to Amahator town, could become unmotorable if it is not maintained at the earliest.

The renovation and maintenance works undertaken by PWD (R&B) early this year has been stopped

following the onset of monsoon and have failed to resume. In this regard, the Citizen Welfare Society (CWS) has also written a letter to the deputy commissioner (DC) Kiphire for resuming road works at Kiphire town.

Other roads including Kiphire town-AmahatorLukhami, Sitimi townSeyochung town, Kiphire town-Kiusam town, Kiphire town-Pungro town and Pungro town-Mimi have become a nightmare for commuters.

It may be mentioned that the proposed International Trade Centre (ITC) is located near Mimi village.

During the rec ent Kiphire District Planning and Development Board (DPDB) meeting, the board members questioned the PWD(R&B) for not taking initiatives during “Swatcheta Seva Week” that was conducted from September 29 to October 2, 2018.

With the State Cabinet meeting scheduled to be held at Kiphire town in the first week of November 2018, heavy arrangements have been going on initiated by district administration and police along with tribal hohos like USLP, YTC and ESH.

NSF conducts poster campaign Contraband seizure: ACAUT questions PHQ Khensa bodies want ISBT functional within 2 months Pamphlets put up by NSF as part of their campaign on Friday. (NP)

KOHIMA, OCT 19 (NPN): As announced on Tuesday last, the Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) has begun with its fourth phase of Inner Line Permit (ILP) checking drive and poster campaign demanding inclusion of Dimapur within the purview of ILP. As part of the campaign, the NSF volunteers pasted posters at various locations in Kohima town and Dimapur town on Friday. Some of the posters read “ILP is now the only lifeboat to save Dimapur from illegal immigrants”,

“We demand ILP in Dimapur”, “only the like of Judas will oppose ILP in Dimapur”, “ILP identifies illegal immigrants”, “Dimapur without ILP today, Nagaland without Dimapur tomorrow”.

NSF had out that a memorandum was submitted to the chief minister demanding inclusion of Dimapur district within the purview of ILP on September 24, 2018 with an appeal to the chief minister’s office for a response within a time period of 30 days. However, NSF said the reply given to the federation had no mention of the ILP in Dimapur district.

DIMAPUR, OCT 19 (NPN): AACAUT on Friday expressed shock about the seizure of contraband brown sugar weighing 6.9 kgs from the residence of IGP (CID) at the New Police Reserve, Phesema on September 1. ACAUT media cell also sought clarification on various points considering the seriousness and sensitivity of the matter.

ACAUT demanded to know from PHQ as to why was the officer not suspended even till today till investigation was on? After the contraband brown sugar was seized on September 3, ACAUT demanded to know whether GD entry, milkman entries were done and whether an FIR was lodged on the case and if not, then why?

It also wanted to know if any other senior officers were informed by the accused officer, that he was taking the contraband to his private residence? ACAUT pointed out that since nar-

cotic offense was a serious crime, inviting penalty upto 10 years rigorous imprisonment, it demanded to know whether the two contraband carriers, caught at Khuzama check post were still in custody or if released why and under what condition and under whose orders? It also questioned whether the personnel’s under the IGP was questioned on this matter?

ACAUT said that what was however most shocking was the shameful attempt of some officials to hush up such a serious offence. It also lauded the courageous and upright police officials, who risked and dared to raid the house of their own superior and senior ranking rogue official.

On the other hand, ACAUT said it was also extremely worried that the whole situation and the kind of message the case sends. It said unless handled rightly, the case will have serious ramifications on the morale

and the moral compass of the police force.

ACAUT also took note of the recommendation for plan of action by the department to the state government which stated “it was a folly of judgement and poor knowledge of the concerned law” by the accused officer.

ACAUT described the note as insulting and smacking of biasness to “save the rouge cop and hush up the matter.”

ACAUT opined that either the officer in question was incompetent to be a police officer or a cop caught in the act and either way, he has no business to be in police force. It said even a mere public would be aware that seized materials were not supposed to be kept at private residences.

Meanwhile, ACAUT said that the matter was serious and should be immediately handed over to an independent external body for inquiry in order to bring it to a logical conclusion.

M O KO KC H U N G, 1 9 OCT (NPN): Khensa Village Council (KVC), Khensa Sensotsur Telongjem (KST) and Khensa Students Union (KSU) Friday served a twomonth ultimatum on the responsible authorities demanding prompt action to begin functioning of Inter State Bus Terminus (ISBT) at Khensa village Mokokchung.

In a joint memorandum addressed to DC Mokokchung, the KVC chairman Kilentoshi, KST president Tiamenla Khensa and KSU president Imliyanger pointed out that the ISBT, which was completed in 2010 and inaugurated on August 2, 2011 by the chief minister Neiphiu Rio, has not been functioning for the past seven years.

GF highlights unified conservation of Amur falcons Since 75% paid, Doyang bridge

DIMAPUR, OCT 19 (NPN): Green Foundation Wokha, has expressed concern over the statement by the Amur Falcon Roosting Area Union (AFRAU) Pangti that they will stop protecting the endangered (Cont’d on p-5) bird species within the area if the demand were not met by the government.

In this regard, Green Foundation director N. Jambemo Humtsoe and secretary media and publicity M. Zachamo Ezung highlighted how efforts of individuals, groups, villagers and state government had led to the successful conser vation of Amur Falcons. Therefore, any attempt to undo the “protection efforts” would be costly for both the birds and people of the state, it said.

GF also said that since “Bah! Only now after Amur Falcons forage or a year, they’re offering roost at numerous locations 25% sale and that too in north east India consersummer wear.” vation efforts require collec-

This is it!

en people recounted the horror. “I have lost my minor child. I want him back,” an inconsolable mother could be heard.

“Several times we have been requesting the authorities and local leaders telling them to take up the issue with railway authorities to slow down the trains near this Phatak during Dussehra, but no one has listened,” a local said. Another said people could not hear the sound of the approaching train due to bursting of firecrackers.

The incident sent shock waves across the country.

There was an outpouring of grief with President Ram

Nath Kovind and Prime Minister Narendra Modi condoling the loss of lives.

Modi directed officials to provide immediate assistance. “Extremely saddened by the train accident in Amritsar. The tragedy is heartwrenching. My deepest condolences to the families of those who lost their loved ones...,” he tweeted.

“Shocked to hear about the tragedy on rail tracks in Amritsar, Punjab. Understand Indian Railways and local authorities are taking steps to help affected people,” Kovind said.

Chief Minister Amarinder Singh announced compensation of Rs five lakh each to the kin of the deceased and said he was rushing to the spot to personally supervise rescue and relief operations. He also announced free treatment to all injured in the accident.

Minister of State for Railways Manoj Sinha, Railway Board chairman Ashwani Lohani and Northern Railway general manager Vishwesh Chaube are rushing to the spot while Railway Minister Piyush Goyal said immediate relief and rescue operations are being conducted.

NSF on 100th year celebration of NC

tive participation throughout the region.

Highlighting the achievements of Pangti village and its surrounding areas, such as in protecting the birds and sacrificing lands for Doyang Hydro project; GF maintained it was incumbent upon the state government and NEEPCO to provide basic amenities in return such asgood roads, electricity and water supply. GF pointed out that before construction of Chubi bridge, people had to travel by ferry for many years as all roads to connecting the villages were submerged.

Further, GF also said people in the area faced pressures to conserve Amur Falcon from shifting cultivation in order to ensure the area was free from human interferences for sustainable conservation of the birds.

As these lands were agricultural lands, there was

need to provide alternative livelihood and occupation to the affected, in order to protect the forest.

These were the price which the community around the hydro project had to pay for economic development of the state.

Therefore, GF urged upon the state government to examine these concerns and to initiate appropriate policy measures.

Enlightening the public about the benefits of conservation, GF said it was like taking care of one’s own health or saving money. It said Amur Falcon conservation was one such initiated which has put Nagaland and the north east in the international spotlight.

It was due to the success of the project that more tourists are visiting Nagaland and in return these improve the welfare of the state and its people.

SRYWO backs AFRAU stance on Amur falcon

Extending suppor t to the stance taken by the Amur Falcon Roosting Area Union (AFRAU) Pangti to stop protecting Amur falcons if its grievances were not addressed, the Sungro Range Youth Welfare Organisation (SRYWO) Friday reminded the state government and the tourism department to immediately implement the Swadesh Darshan Scheme 2016 within the specified time period as given by the AFRAU, Pangti.

In a press note, SRYWO chairman Chumbemo T Ngullie, secretary adm. N Mhathung Jami and secretary social & culture Stephen N Kikon warned that they would not remain silent spectator, but resort to democratic forms of protest against the government if failed to deliver justice to the Range (Cont’d on p-5) people.

cannot be abandoned: ACVA

DIMAPUR, OCT 19 (NPN): Lending its support to the demand of ACAUT for a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the incomplete Doyang river bridge as published on October 16, the All Commercial Vehicles Association (ACVA), Wokha warned that since roads affect vehicle owners (like ACVA), who depend on roads for livelihood, ACVA said it will not allow the bridge to be abandoned.

ACVA in a statement by its president Yanyithung Tsopoe and secretary Y. Evungthung Ezung also countered the statement purportedly made by the chief engineer (R&B) at the state banquet hall Kohima during the colloquium on Road Connectivity held on October 10 that construction work on the bridge was abandoned.

lotted by the Khensa villagers was left abandoned and defunct making it highly susceptible to anti-social activities and incidents at the site.

They reminded that KSU had written to the district administration in 2015 appealing for immediate action. Besides, they said KVC had also approached the authority several times to make verbal requests. However, all of those appeals have fallen on deaf ears.

The organizations have, therefore, demanded that the authority take immediate steps to make the ISBT fully functional within the next two months. Failure to fulfil the demand within the stipulated time, the organisations cautioned that they would be compelled to take their own course of action based on traditional and customary laws of the land.

Naga youth drowned in Goa

KO H I M A , O C T 1 9 (AGENCIES): A 21-yearold male tourist belonging to Nagaland drowned at Goa’s Calangute beach on Thursday at around 4 p.m., ANI report stated.

Upon receiving information, police initiated a search operation to find the youth, identified as Toto Zhimo from Amiphoto, Nagaland, and subsequently recovered his body from Candolim shore.

As per police inspector Jivba Dalvi, a group of four Nagaland natives studying at Bengaluru had come to Goa to visit their friends.

The group entered the sea at Calangute beach, after which a strong wave pulled Zhimo into the sea.

The post-mortem will be conducted at Goa Medical College on Friday. A case of unnatural death has been registered and further (Cont’d on p-5) inquiry is underway.

ACVA said it would have been understandable if the bridge was abandoned without spending money but asked how can it be abandoned after a huge amount of Rs.18.49 crore was spent? ACVA said hardly 25% to 30% of the project was completed and worth around Rs.6.50 crore.

ACVA said the construction work should be completed since 75% of the project cost was released and that “just blacklisting the contractor is not enough.”

It also reminded that Lotha Hoho on October 20, 2017 had filed an FIR but Wokha Police was yet to submit its report even after one year.

ACVA demanded that FIR report be submitted immediately since it does not take one full year to carry out investigation.

Narendra Modi slams UPA for not building sufficient homes for poor

Prime Minister Narendra Modi hands over key of a house to a beneficiary of Pradhan Mantri Awas YojanaGramin (PMAY-G). (PTI) Ahmednagar (Maharashtra), Oct 19 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday attacked the previous UPA government for not building sufficient homes for the poor.

“In the final four years of the UPA rule, they built only 2.50 million homes for the poor. In the past four

years of the BJP government, we have constructed 1.25 crore houses for the poor with full amenities, which will empower them,” Modi said. “ I f t h a t ( U PA - I I ) government had continued, then at their speed it would have taken 20 years to provide 1.25 crore homes and the poor masses

would have had to suffer for two decades waiting for their dream home,” Modi added.

Modi’s remarks came after he distributed keys to a few of the beneficiaries of the ambitious Pradhan Mantra Awas Yojana (PMAY) under which these homes were disbursed to around 250,000 families in Maharashtra.

Modi said that while the previous government took 18 months to build one house, the present government readied them in just 12 months, giving bigger areas, with all amenities like toilet, electricity, water and gas, besides increasing government subsidy from Rs 70,000 to Rs 120,000 per home, with the money transferred directly to the beneficiaries’ bank accounts. Without naming the Gandhi family, he accused the UPA government of promoting just “one family” in the name of housing for poor and creating vote banks to pursue their political interests.

Goa govt flip flops on change of leadership Panaji, Oct 19 (IANS): In yet another flip flop over the issue of leadership change in Goa, Power Minister Nilesh Cabral on Friday ruled out any alternative trailing Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar.

The Minister also said that his cabinet colleague and Agriculture Minister Vijai Sardesai’s discussion with BJP President Amit Shah on Thursday about finding alternatives to Parrikar was only borne out of “personal interest”.

“It is a statement from his (Sardesai) personal interest. I am speaking for the BJP party and BJP party has a leader... We have a leader in Parrikar and he will always be our leader,” Cabral told the media at the state Bharatiya Janata Party headquarters. On Thursday, after a meeting with Amit Shah, Sardesai had said that they had discussed leadership alternatives to Parrikar, who has been ailing for more than eight months now.

CPI (M) leader Sitaram Yechury on Friday slammed the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) by alleging that the right-wing organisation is following the same pattern during the Sabarimala row as it did during Babri Masjid demolition.

Equating the two, Yechury was referring to TV crews being roughed up during the Sabarimala protests and incidents of violence.

Yechury said that the way in which women are roughed up is similar to the time of Babri Masjid demolition, news agency ANI reported.

“You have the heads of the volunteers wearing saffron bands, the same dress you found there (Babri Masjid demolition),” Yechury added.

The CPI (M) leader furthered accused the RSS of pre-organising the protests/incidents of violence in Kerala.

NIA nabs kingpin of SRYWO backs AFRAU stance on Amur...

FICN from Guwahati (From p-1) (From p-1) Ali, who was booked on two counts, was absconding for many years, during which he was instrumental in forming a gang at Bengaluru which was involved in trafficking and circulating fake currency.

The National Investigation Agency revealed that Ali was part of a larger conspiracy along with other accused persons mostly based in Malda, Bengal in smuggling high quality Fake Indian Currency Notes from across the international border with an intention to threaten the monetary stability of India. The proceeds from circulation of Fake Indian Currency Notes were deposited into the bank accounts of accused persons and their associates based at Malda. During investigation, names of other members of the inter-state gang and their associates from Malda and Bengaluru also came to light and investigation against them is underway.

Ali was produced in the Chief Judicial Magistrate Court Kamrup on Thursday for obtaining transit remand, following which he was scheduled to be taken to Vijayawada and produced before a special National Investigation Agency Court.

The National Investigation Agency’s Hyderabad division filed charge sheets against Saddam Hossain and Amirul Hoque in 2016, and against Roustam and Hakim in July this year.

They cautioned that the state government would be held solely responsible for any fallout that may ensue.

SRYWO also reminded the PWD (R&B) to maintain Doyang-Mangmetong road, which remained neglected for many decades. The organisation said that DoyangMangmetong road was the shortest route connecting Dimapur and the districts of Mokokchung, Tuensang and Zunheboto without entering Assam.

Further, the organisation lamented the deplorable road condition from Raphaphen to Aree Old and Aree New villages, saying the villagers have long been waiting for improvement of the said road.

In this regard, the organisation has appealed to the present MLA, 39 Sanis A/C, to expedite the matter for the welfare of the two villages in particular and for the Range people.

Recalling its representation to the forest department in 2014, SRYWO has appeal to the department to open Forest Beat office at Sungro for proper coverage of wildlife protection and conservation in Sungro range.

Delhi court dismisses bail plea of ex-BSP MP’s son

New Delhi, Oct 19 (AGENCIES): Delhi’s Patiala House Court on Friday dismissed the bail plea of former Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MP Rakesh Pandey’s son Ashish Pandey. The court further sent him to judicial custody till October 22.

On October 14, Ashish, who had brandished a pistol at guests and threatened them at Delhi’s five-star Hyatt Regency Hotel in a viral video, was formally arrested by Delhi Police minutes after he surrendered before a court here.

Delhi’s Patiala House Court, which allowed Ashish’s plea for surrender, granted 20 minutes to Delhi Police for interrogating him in connection with the case.

The court later remanded Ashish to one-day police custody.

Delhi Police had earlier moved a plea seeking 4-day custody of the accused.

Ashish had been on the run after a video showing him brandishing a gun and threatening guests, includ-

and 200 ‘moderate’, 201 and 300 ‘poor’, 301 and 400 ‘very poor’ and 401 and 500 ‘severe’.

A senior official said the reason for improvement of air quality was the rainfall on Thursday which lashed parts of the national capital, cleansing the air of the pollutants. The PM10 level (presence of particles in the air with a diameter of less than 10 micrometres) in Delhi stood at 253 and the PM 2.5 level was recorded at 110, according to the SAFAR data.

O n T h u r s d ay, t h e PM2.5 (presence of particles in the air with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometres) touched a new high at 158.

The PM2.5, also called “fine particulates,” can be a matter of more serious health concern than PM10.

A Central Pollution Control Board official said a number of factors were responsible for the deteriorating air quality, including vehicular pollution and construction activities.

It further said Pandey is ready to submit before the court voluntarily and the police may be directed

to take him into custody if required. Earlier while speaking to ANI, Ashish had claimed that he did not threaten anyone and he was being framed in the case.

“I’m being projected like I’m a wanted terrorist and police across the nation is looking for me. Look Out Circular has been issued against me. If you check CCTV footage, you’ll find who went to ladies toilet that night and who threatened whom,”’Ashish said.

Collectors to ascertain crop damage in cyclone Bhubaneswar, Oct 19 (PTI): Odisha government asked district collectors and agriculture department Friday to conduct field inspection to ascertain damages to cultivation by Cyclone Titli and subsequent floods, officials said.

The action came a day after the state asked the Centre to immediately release Rs 1,000 crore as interim assistance for relief and restoration works for the cyclone and flood affected areas.

Deputy Relief Commissioner Prabhat Ranjan Mohapatra said the special relief commissioner (SRC) has directed the district collectors of the 17 affected districts and the agriculture department to conduct field inspection and submit reports in regard to crop damage.

Mohapatra said the farmers will be provided input subsidy for crop loss on the basis of the reports.

Warning on warming

U

N secretary-general Antonio Guterres has not only reminded but also warned the world that if countries did not drastically reduce fossil fuel emission through use of alternative and eco-friendly energy by 2020 then the rate of global warming will witness economic and ecological catastrophe. The warning that was made last September, should be taken note and acted upon. To illustrate his point, Guterres pointed to Kerala, where the worst monsoon flooding in recent history resulted in around 500 deaths officially to almost 3,000 deaths from Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico in 2017and disappearing Arctic sea ice. He also mentioned some wildfires which were so big that they send ash around the world, oceans becoming more acidic threatening food chains, and high carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere threatening food security for billions of people. However, the warning is not the first as there had been so many warnings in the past. The countries that could make the big difference with little measures have ignored the danger or are paying only lip service. There is a difference between “weather” and “climate” as the former relates to conditions in the atmosphere over a short time.

In the latter, it relates to how the atmosphere behaves over a longer period of time. Climate change generally means changes in long-term averages of daily levels of temperature and rainfall. In a warming world, we can expect it to get wetter. The distribution of the rainfall throughout the year could change as we experience longer, drier spells, although when rain falls it may be in intense bursts. That being so, the issue of climate change is also a factor that is related with mindless destruction of forests and precipitation of the “green house gas effect” from various chemicals and fossil fuel emissions. Scientists have warned that humans must reduce net greenhouse gases emissions to zero “well before 2040” in order to ensure global warming does not go above 1.5 degrees Celsius by the end of the century. As per records, in 2014, the top carbon dioxide (CO2) emitters were China (30%), the United States (15%), the European Union (9%), India (7%), the Russian Federation (5%), and Japan (4%). These data include CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion, as well as cement manufacturing and gas flaring.

Together, these sources represent a large proportion of total global CO2 emissions. Future effects of climate change will continue through this century and beyond during which temperatures will continue to rise. Only last year in 2017, nature unleashed some catastrophic weather across the world. At the beginning of 2017, Australia experienced one of the hottest summers on record in Sydney and Brisbane, followed by a killer summer heat wave across southern Europe and wildfires triggered by heat in California. At the same time, the 2017 monsoon season brought considerable rains to the Indian subcontinent, and resulted in devastating floods in parts of India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh (one of the most flood vulnerable countries in the world), causing more than 1,000 deaths. Guterres warned “If we do not change course by 2020, we risk missing the point where we can avoid runaway climate change, with disastrous consequences for people and all the natural systems that sustain us.” Like the time of Noah when he pleaded and warned people about the impending flood, everyone disbelieved him and paid the consequence.

DailyDevotion The Unheeded Secret Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world.”

—John 18:36 The great enemy of the Lord Jesus Christ today is the idea of practical work that has no basis in the New Testament but comes from the systems of the world. This work insists upon endless energy and activities, but no private life with God. The emphasis is put on the wrong thing. Jesus said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation….For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:20-21).

It is a hidden, obscure thing. An active Christian worker too often lives to be seen by others, while it is the innermost, personal area that reveals the power of a person’s life.

We must get rid of the plague of the spirit of this religious age in which we live. In our Lord’s life there was none of the pressure and the rushing of tremendous activity that we regard so highly today, and a disciple is to be like His Master. The central point of the kingdom of Jesus Christ is a personal relationship with Him, not public usefulness to others.

It is not the practical activities that are the strength of this Bible Training College— its entire strength lies in the fact that here you are immersed in the truths of God to soak in them before Him. You have no idea of where or how God is going to engineer your future circumstances, and no knowledge of what stress and strain is going to be placed on you either at home or abroad. And if you waste your time in overactivity, instead of being immersed in the great fundamental truths of God’s redemption, then you will snap when the stress and strain do come.

But if this time of soaking before God is being spent in getting rooted and grounded in Him, which may appear to be impractical, then you will remain true to Him whatever happens.

Post-mortem

NSF on 100 year of Naga Club celebration th

A

t the outset, the Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) expresses its deepest regret and apologizes for the confusions that have arisen out of proposed celebration of the 100th Year of Naga Club. At the same time NSF is constrained to issue this statement in the light of varied views and statements expressed in social and print media in connection with the celebration of 100th year of Naga Club with special emphasis to the Statement of Kohima Village Council (KVC) as published in various Local Dailies on 17th Oct. 2018 and by Eno. Krurovi Peseyie, Chairman, Naga Club carried by Morung Express on 11th Oct 2018.

The NSF is very much appreciative of the Standpoint of the KVC which had, without being partisan to any party, took position for the interest of the people to come together and made reference of the relevant past events for factual records.

However, NSF appeals again, if all of us can still collectively seek ways where Kohima Village Council and every Naga can proudly participate and celebrate our proud history together in the most befitting manner.

By this Statement we do not intend it to be a rejoinder to any statement or being argumentative to any point of view but solely to expatiate on the principles and events leading to the preparation of celebrating the 100th year of Naga Club with the theme “Celebrating the Legacy”.

1. Firstly it was on the 15th of July 2017 when an NSF Senior Consultative Meeting held at Hotel Japfu decided that NSF should make a plan to celebrate the 100th year of Naga Club. On this proposal the issue was tabled and resolved in the Federal Assembly on 9th December 2017 at NSF Conference Hall. Again on 5th April 2018 at Mokokchung, Village hosted by the Ao Khukhatsiir Mundang (AKM) the Federal Assembly reaffirmed the earlier resolution and endorsed the Executive

Council to constitute a Committee to celebrate the occasion. On 20th June 2018 another Senior Consultative Meeting was held and deliberated on the issue.

Thus, on 29th June 2018 the Executive Council constituted a 15 Member Organising Committee to commemorate the 100th year Of Naga Club.

Even prior to these meetings, NSF has conducted an NSF Senior Conclave in 2015, on the 21st of November at De Oriental Hotel, Kohima, where a Building Committee for the re-construction of the present Naga Club Building was constituted, prompted by the fact that the 100th Year of Naga Club was round the corner, and that NSF hope to celebrate this historic occasion in 2018 with a more presentable Building in place. Some of our Senior NSF members active in the present Naga Club were also present.

All these initiatives were taken

by NSF because of the fact that the Naga Club was defunct for many years, besides the existence of the lone surviving caretaker member of the then revised Naga Club of 1982 Mr. Kewezu Mero.

2. The NSF Organizing Committee for the celebration of the 100th Year of Naga Club then decided to come out with a concept paper; which began by saying – “ Over a hundred years ago, our ancestors, who have been living fiercely independent and self-sufficient in a world of peace with themselves , had to participate in the First World War at the behest of Colonial rulers under different companies of “The Naga Labour Corps”, travelled to Europe thousands of miles away from their home.

On their return, having seen the world, they began to share a vision of a collective Naga voice. Simultaneously, there was in circulation a socio-political consciousness amongst members of few educated Nagas in the Naga Homeland. This consciousness at various levels heralded the formation of Naga Club in 1918, the first political and social cornerstone of Naga

Nationalism, as we understand today” (quote from the Concept paper). For any error of judgments we are ready to admit our shortcomings.

3. On why we cannot come together to celebrate the occasion? Some of us, NSF officials have met some Members of the Adhoc Naga Club on several occasions where they have also proposed to organize the occasion together. At first we conveyed that since it was a Federal Assembly decision and since a Committee has also been constituted comprising of NSF Seniors we needed further consultation. We also met with the then Chairman of the Adhoc Naga Club Mr. Krurovi Peseyie in the month of March 2018 at his residence in Jotsoma where he clearly mentioned that Naga Club will celebrate only for the tribes of Nagaland state. And on further perusal and further discussion with our senior leaders it became apparent that our concepts of celebrating the occasion totally varies: firstly, whereas NSF by no means claims ownership to the Naga Club but its main objective is to celebrate, as our theme suggest, “Celebrating the Legacy” and to give tribute to our elders who had stated our Naga journey of collectively responding to the changes of time and envisioning a shared future, the present Naga Club intended to re-constitute the Naga Club and claim ownership. Secondly, whereas NSF believe it should be an occasion to be celebrated by the Nagas as a whole as it ramified to the Naga political consciousness, the present Naga Club intend to make an affair confined to the state of Nagaland – as was evident through several conversations and also a document released by Mr. Krurovi Peseyie, Chairman, Naga Club entitled “some factual records of Naga Club”.

As the KVC had mentioned, leaders from the Angami Public Organisation (APO), on two occasions (26th &29th Sept.

2018) met some of the NSF official and Organising Com-

mittee members (Angamis) with the good intention of bringing about understanding and for us to join together for the occasion.

However, they also relayed that on their other colleagues meeting with Mr. Krurovi Peseyie, where he again had clearly spelled out of their intention of making it an affair of the people of present Nagaland state only. Therefore, we told the APO of our inability to comply with their proposal. Then, we were taken by surprise to see the statement of Eno. Krurovi, Chairman, Naga Club on 11th Oct. 2018 in total denial. We believe the APO will take up the matter for truth to surface.

With this in the backdrop, the NSF would like to clearly state that it has no intention of antagonizing or confronting any group or individual but will function, guided by the fundamental principles that are clearly enshrined in its constitution for a unified lim and glory of the Nagas. NSF by all means will always remain open to the idea of inclusiveness, where all of us can come together to celebrate this occasion on the concept handed down to us by the pioneers of the Naga Club from 1918 onwards that Nagas are one people and that the voice of the Naga Club even through the submission of the Memorandum to the Simon Commission in 1929 was on behalf of all Nagas wherever they are. And we quote the last sentence of the Memorandum that clearly says; “We claim not only the members of “Naga Club” to represent all those regions to which we belong viz, Angamis, Kacha Nagas, Kukis, Semas, Lothas and Rengmas, but also other regions of Nagaland.”

We therefore should not be misunderstood when we are only upholding the sanctity of the principles of the Naga Club, as we commit ourselves to honour our ancestors and all pioneers of the Naga Club then and not otherwise.

A tribute by gen. (Retd.)

Viyalie Metha, Kedahge FGN on the 67 martyr’s day Transit Peace Camp, Kohima, October 18, 2018.

Dear Fellow Countrymen, In a nation’s history, a National Martyrs’ Day is a very solemn occasion which should be observed with reverence and gratitude by all citizens of the Nation.

As such, the whole Naga Nation should remember all the Naga patriots who have sacrificed their lives for the freedom of Nagaland.

Zasibito Nagi - in whose memory Naga Martyrs’ day is observed-was murdered on October 18, 1952.

Zasibito was then a Judge in the Kohima Central Court. He was shot dead as he was desperately trying to stop an Indian Police Officer who was trying to shoot into the crowds of the peaceful protestors. The march was undertaken by the Naga public in protest against the torture of a Sema youth by the Indian armed forces in Dimapur. And after this event, the Assam Armed Police and the Assam Rifles unleashed a reign of terror all over Nagaland. This was followed by the Indian Army marching into Nagaland in 1954 and started war by mass murder, rape and burning of Naga villages.

The Naga nation then rose up to defend its territories from foreign occupation.

Coming to the deaths of all our other fallen patriots in whose memory, the same date is observed, thousands upon thousands of our people were killed, many tortured to death and many more permanently maimed from those tortures.

They all volunteered to defend their country leaving behind grieving parents, wives and children. On this solemn day the Naga Nation should pay the highest respect to all fallen patriots of our country.

For those of us who are still alive today, we should all rededicate our lives to the unfinished tasks of Nation building and National consolidation. The NNC and FGN are defending that goal and will do so until it is fully achieved. Let us trust in God at all times that He may bring real peace in Nagaland soon.

T

he Naga labor corp. was one of the greatest Naga gathering and a symbol of unity during the first world war (1914-1918). They were recruited to go to Europe as a labor corp. but instead they saw it as an adventure. The story goes on that the Naga corp. constituted of 2000 Nagas from different tribe led by Dr. Khosa Zinyü, traveled to different European countries efficiently executing whatever work was entrusted to them. The Naga labor corp. returned in the year 1918 from their European expedition and the very same year the Naga Club was also formed.

Being a Naga, if I look back I choose to see the formation of the Naga Club in 1918 as a divine intervention, a plan of God so that we the Nagas will have a story to tell and inspire us for generations to follow. In 1918, my father Late Mr. Zhadelie Ziephrü was studying in Kohima Mission School in 6th standard and judg-

ing on that the founding members of the Naga club were about the age of his uncle and father at that time. The Naga Club was founded with the intention to unite all Nagas living in Indian territory, Burma etc. a club for all Nagas without borders.

The Naga Club submitted its historic memorandum to the Simon Commission in the year 1929. The British Government in India taking into account the rights and the ethnic difference of the Nagas, passed the 1935 Act recognizing the Naga hills and adjourning area as an excluded area. This laid the foundation of the Naga freedom cause and on its principle we stand till today all owing to the Naga Club and its members at that time.

At this present moment with both the Naga Club and NSF wanting to host the centenary celebration, as entrusted APO tried its best to broker an understanding between both parties. APO delegated two teams

to both the party for dialogue and both the APO team met the Angami leaders on both side.

However, a common understanding could not be established and APO was unable to bridge the gap between the two parties.

APO regrets the situation that currently prevails but still hopes that a sense of brotherhood and understanding will prevail between both the organization.

It is APO’s stand that the Naga Club centenary celebration is an auspicious occasion for each and every Naga and the occasion should be celebrated on the facts of the Naga Club and the factual story of the Naga Club should not be distorted. It is APO’s wish that the centenary celebration of the Naga Club will lay down the factual foundations of our Naga history for the upcoming generations and this occasion will educate and inspire us for the better.

Neisakholie Ziephru, General Secretary, APO

Reader’s Post Sir,

Traffic woes in Dimapur

With the traffic problem in Dimapur getting worse by the day, I feel the authorities should wake up from their slumber and do the necessary to tackle the situation.

Dimapur being the only commercial city in the whole state, authorities should take it more seriously that the traffic problem is causing a huge dent on the economy. This lackadaisical attitude of the concerned departments especially in providing proper connectivity in the form of good roads and bridges for the people may soon reach a boiling point thus creating civil unrest. People are frustrated as they have to waste a couple of hours every day in traversing from one part of the city to the other, which actually, is a huge loss.

For a good number of people time is money and time wasted is money wasted.

People may soon grow tired of all these “Who Cares” attitude displayed by the concerned authorities and departments. People are paying their taxes to the government in various forms which enable government servants to work effectively but in the current scenario there is no effectiveness on the part of those people taking public money as salary.

If government servants do not perform their duties efficiently, the concerned authorities should remove those weed so as to set example for others to follow.

Government servants should understand the fact that even if they are asleep their salaries would reach in time but that is not the same for those people who are paying for their salaries.

New Delhi, Oct 19 (PTI): The rupee recovered early losses and finally settled 29 paise higher at 73.32 against the US dollar Friday, amid a weakening greenback. Traders said the selling of the US currency by exporters and foreign fund inflows were the other factors that provided support to the home unit.

At the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex), the rupee opened lower at 73.62, but soon recovered the lost ground and jumped 31 paise to touch a high of 73.31 on increased selling of the American currency by exporters and banks.

The domestic unit settled the day up by 29 paise at 73.32 against the US dollar.

The rupee had settled 13 paise lower at 73.61 against the US dollar Wednesday.

Forex market remained shut on Thursday on account of “Dussehra”.

Meanwhile, market benchmark BSE Sensex plunged by 464 points or 1.33 per cent to close at 34,315.63 points due to losses in index major Reliance Industries, HDFC and Infosys. “Despite the fall (in equity benchmark), rupee gained some weight supported by stability in oil prices,” Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services Ltd.

the next five years to 2023, wealth in India is expected to grow by 8 per cent per annum to reach $ 8.8 trillion,” it said.

Credit Suisse has estimated that India could host 526,000 millionaires, an increase of more than 53 per cent or 8.9 per cent per annum. The report estimates that women’s share of global wealth is around 40 per cent, while recent studies for India indicate a significantly lower share ranging between 20 per cent and 30 per cent. The country has 404,000 adults in the top one per cent of global wealth holders, which is a 0.8 per cent share. By our estimates, 3,400 adults have wealth over $ 50 million, and 1,500 have more than $ 100 million, it said.

India’s wealth has trended upward strongly since the turn of the century, although there was a setback in 2008 due to the global financial crisis and there have been bumps due to currency fluctuations. Annual growth of wealth per adult averaged 8 per cent over 2000–18.

Prior to 2008, wealth also rose strongly, from $ 1,830 in 2000 to $ 5,020 in 2007.

After falling 26 per cent in 2008, it rebounded, and grew at an average rate of 7 per cent up to 2018. Wealth per adult is estimated at $7,020 in mid-2018.

by around seven per cent against the US dollar and by more than four per cent on a real effective basis in the first half of 2018.

“India has a significant bilateral goods trade surplus with the United States, totaling $23 billion over the four quarters through June 2018, but India’s current account is in deficit at 1.9 per cent of GDP,” the report said.

“As a result, India now only meets one of the three criteria from the 2015 Act. If this remains the case at the time of its next report, Treasury would remove India from the Monitoring List.”

As per norms, the US Department of the Treasury focuses on three criterion to include or exclude a country from its monitoring lists.

These criterion include an economy having a significant bilateral trade surplus with the United States, a material current account surplus, and engaged in persistent one-sided intervention in the foreign exchange market.

“India has been exemplary in publishing its foreign exchange market intervention. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has noted that the value of the rupee is broadly market determined, with intervention used only during episodes of undue volatility,” the report said.

holders, which is a 0.8 per cent share. By our estimates, 3,400 adults have wealth over $ 50 million (Rs 367.5 crore), and 1,500 have more than $ 100 million (Rs 735 crore).

“In the 12 months to mid-2018, in USD terms wealth in India grew a modest 2.6 per cent to around $ 6 trillion and wealth per adult stayed flat at $ 7,020, mainly due to currency depreciation of 6 per cent against the dollar,” it said. However, holding exchange rates constant, total wealth grew strongly at 9.7 per cent.

According to Credit Suisse Wealth report, personal wealth in India is dominated by property and other real assets, which make up 91 per cent of estimated household assets. Over the 12 months, non-financial assets grew by 4.3 per cent, accounting for all of the wealth growth in India. House-price movements are a proxy for the non-financial component of household assets, which reached a high of 9 per cent for India, it said.

“By mid-2018, there were an estimated 343,000 millionaires in India, a rise of 7,300, and 3,400 ultra high net worth individuals with wealth over $ 50 million, sixth highest in the world, after US, China, Germany, UK and Japan. In

New Delhi, Oct 19 (IANS): The United States might exclude India from “the monitoring list” of its “major trading partners that merit close attention to their currency practices and macroeconomic policies”.

The US in April 2018 included India in “the monitoring list” which is a part of the semi-annual report on “Macroeconomic and Foreign Exchange Policies of Major Trading Partners of the United States” prepared by the US Department of Treasury for the US Congress.

“India’s circumstances have shifted markedly, as the central bank’s net sales of foreign exchange over the first six months of 2018 led net purchases over the four quarters through June 2018 to fall to $4 billion, or 0.2 per cent of GDP,” the latest semi-annual report released on October 17 said.

“This represented a notable change from 2017, when purchases over the first three quarters of the year pushed net purchases of foreign exchange above 2 per cent of GDP. Recent sales have come amid a turnaround in foreign portfolio flows, as foreign investors pulled portfolio capital out of India (and many other emerging markets) over the first half of the year.”

Mumbai, Oct 19 (Agencies): India created a whopping 7,300 more millionaires during the 12 months to mid-2018, taking the total number of dollarmillionaires to 343,000, who are collectively worth around $6 trillion, says a Credit Suisse report. However, the wealth per adult stayed flat at $ 7,020 (around Rs 515,970) as against $47,810 in China (Rs 35.14 lakh).

Globally, Switzerland remains the richest nation in the world in terms of wealth per adult with $530,240 in mid-2018, followed by Australia ($ 411,060), with Singapore ($ 283,120) ranking ninth among major economies.

While wealth has been rising in India, not everyone has shared in this growth.

“There is still considerable wealth poverty, reflected in the fact that 91 per cent of the adult population has wealth below $ 10,000 (around Rs 735,000). At the other extreme, a small fraction of the population (0.6 per cent of adults) has a net worth over $ 100,000 (Rs 73,50,000). However, owing to India’s large population, this translates into 4.8 million people,” Credit Suisse said.

“This volume of orders far exceeds the forecasts of the SQDC,” the Quebec government pot retailer

It said it was “difficult to anticipate the volume of sales ... given the lack of data from a sector that 48 hours ago was still illegal.”

The statement added that short-term supply shortages are expected due to “the craze surrounding legalization of cannabis and the scarcity of product across Canada.”

Canada’s smallest provinces on the Atlantic coast, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, posted Can$660,000 and Can$152,000 in sales, respectively. Supply shortages were already reported in the provinces of Newfoundland and Saskatchewan, as well as in the Arctic territory of Nunavut.

B EIJING , O c t 1 9 (Agencies): The wife of fallen former Interpol chief Meng Hongwei has expressed fears for his life and her own safety, lashing out at what she called the “cruel” and “dirty” Chinese government that arrested him in mysterious circumstances, AFP reported.

The comments by Grace Meng in a BBC interview represent a rare and extraordinarily blunt level of criticism of China’s government by the victims of Beijing’s tough crackdown on corruption, in which cases are typically wrapped up in secrecy and with only the official version of events coming to light.

“I think it is political persecution. I’m not sure he’s alive,” Grace Meng said in the interview conducted in France, where Meng was based at Inter-

pol’s headquarters.

Meng Hongwei, also a Chinese vice public security minister, went missing on a trip to China last month.

He subsequently resigned as head of the international police organisation on October 7 after Chinese authorities announced he was under investigation.

China has since said he is suspected of accepting bribes.

“I tell (my children) daddy is on a long business trip,” the sobbing Grace Meng said, appearing in the interview only in silhouette to hide her appearance.

Complaining that there is “no limit” to China’s power to act against opponents, she claimed to have received threatening phone calls suggesting she was being “targeted” in France.

“They are cruel. They are dirty,” she said.

IANS adds: Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu on Friday said that the government did not share with the US recordings of the alleged brutal torture and murder of Saudi Arabian journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Speaking from Albania, Cavusoglu, a member of the Justice and Development Party which claims to be in possession of audio and video evidence showing Khashoggi was assassinated at the consulate on October 2, dismissed reports he had shared any such proof with his US counterpart Mike Pompeo during the latter’s visit to Ankara this week.

“It is not true that Turkey gave any recordings to Pompeo or to any other senior official of the US,” Ankara’s top diplomat told reporters during his visit to Tirana, adding that Turkish officials had been collecting evidence from the consulate grounds.

As China’s space programme races to catch up with that of the United States and Russia, a number of ambitious projects are in the pipeline, including the Chang’e-4 lunar probe -- named after the moon goddess in Chinese mythology -- which aims to launch later this year.

If it succeeds, it will be the first rover to explore the “dark side” of the moon.

China is not the first country to try beaming sunlight back to Earth.

In the 1990s, Russian scientists reportedly used giant mirrors to reflect light from space in an experimental project called Znamya or Banner.

Chengdu’s artificial moon project was announced by Wu at an innovation and entrepreneurship conference in Chengdu on October 10.

In addition to Tian Fu New Area Science Society, other universities and institutes, including the Harbin Institute of Technology and China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp, are involved in developing Chengdu’s illumination satellites.

OTT AWA , O c t 1 9 (Agencies): Day two of legal recreational cannabis in Canada on Thursday saw more long lineups outside pot stores and supply shortages in parts of the country, AFP reported.

Most consumers were exuberant about the end of prohibition, but a few expressed disappointment over not being able to buy cannabis on the first day.

Others balked at the relatively high prices -ranging from Can$5.25 (US$4.02) in Quebec to Can$18.99 in Saskatchewan per gram -- compared to the black market that saw average prices plunge in the last year to Can$6.79 per gram.

B e i j i n g, O c t 1 9 (Agencies): China is planning to launch its own ‘artificial moon’ by 2020 to replace streetlamps and lower electricity costs in urban areas, state media reported Friday, AFP reported.

Chengdu, a city in southwester n Sichuan province, is developing “illumination satellites” which will shine in tandem with the real moon, but are eight times brighter, according to China Daily.

The first man-made moon will launch from Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan, with three more to follow in 2022 if the first test goes well, said Wu Chunfeng, head of Tian Fu New Area Science Society, the organization responsible for the project.

Though the first launch will be experimental, the 2022 satellites “will be the real deal with great civic and commercial potential,” he said in an interview with China Daily.

By reflecting light from the sun, the satellites could replace streetlamps in urban areas, saving an estimated 1.2 billion yuan ($170 million) a year in electricity costs for Chengdu, if the man-made moons illuminate an area of 50 square kilometers.

Turkish officials have said they believe Khashoggi was murdered at the consulate and his body chopped up and removed. Riyadh strongly denies the allegations and said it is investigating the disappearance of the journalist, who was critical of Saudi rulers, calling for reforms.

Trump spoke hours after receiving an update from Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on the results of Pompeo’s emergency talks in Saudi Arabia and Turkey this week. In the New York Times interview, Trump also expressed confidence in intelligence reports that suggest a high-level Saudi role in the suspected killing of Khashoggi. Trump said, however, it was still “a little bit early” to draw definitive conclusions about who may have been behind it.

Turkish police are searching a forest on the outskirts of Istanbul and a city near the Sea of Marmara for the remains of Khashoggi more than two weeks after he vanished after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, two senior Turkish officials told Reuters.

Trump, who has forged closer ties with Saudi Arabia and the 33-year-old Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, acknowledged for the first time on Thursday that Khashoggi, a U.S. resident and Washington Post columnist, had likely been killed. “It certainly looks that way to me.

The Taliban, who referred to Gen Raziq as a “brutal police chief ”, have urged voters to boycott the poll. Correspondents say Gen Raziq was renowned as a powerful opponent of the Taliban in the south of Afghanistan - where the militant group is at its strongest. His assassination is seen as a hugely significant victory for the Taliban and a major blow to the Afghan and US counter-insurgency campaign.

The US gives such diktats while coming to Pakistan. They also want syllabus on religious teachings to be removed as it gives birth to ‘jihadis’.

The government of Pakistan agrees on such orders and informs them about banning ‘jihadi’ outfits in return of receiving monetary aid and support, he alleged. Saeed founded Jamaat-ud-Dawah, a front for the Lashkar-e-Toiba terror group, which waged the deadly 2008 Mumbai attacks. The organisation is on the United Nations list of global terrorist groups.

Saeed, who carries a USD 10 million bounty for his role in terror activities, criticised the Pakistani government for accepting suggestions to ask the US and IMF for aid.

Local officials suggested that Gen Miller appeared to have been saved by his body armour. The US military only said that he was uninjured and denied he had been one of the intended targets.

The local intelligence head was also killed and the governor was critically injured. Three Americans were hurt. A spokesman for President Ashraf Ghani said that voting in the province would be delayed by a week in line with the wishes of the people.

Elections are due to be held across most of the rest of Afghanistan on Saturday.

Facebook launches its first ‘War Room’

I

n line with its efforts to prevent misuse of its platform during elections, Facebook has set up a War Room to reduce the spread of potentially harmful content.

Facebook faced flak for not doing enough to prevent spread of misinformation

by Russia-linked accounts during the 2016 US presidential election. The social networking giant has rolled out several initiatives to fight fake news and bring more transparency and accountability in its advertising since then.

The launch of the first War Room at its headquarters in Menlo Park, California, is part of the social network’s new initiatives to fight election interference on its platform.

Although Facebook opened the doors of the War Room ahead of the general elections in Brazil and midterm elections in the US, it revealed the details only

this week.

The goal behind setting up the War Room was to get the right subject-matter experts from across the company in one place so they can address potential problems identified by its technology in real time and respond quickly.

“The War Room has over two dozen experts from across the company - including from our threat intelligence, data science, software engineering, research, community operations and legal teams,” Samidh Chakrabarti, Facebook’s Director of Product Management, Civic Engagement, said in a statement on Thursday.

“These employees represent and are supported by the more than 20,000 people working on safety and security across Facebook,” Chakrabarti added.

Fa c e b o o k s a i d i t s dashboards offer real-time monitoring on key elections issues, such as efforts to

Jamie Lee Curtis’ H ‘ alloween’ to arrive in India on Oct 26

prevent people from voting, increases in spam, potential foreign interference, or reports of content that violates our policies.

The War Room team also monitors news coverage and election-related activity across other social networks and traditional media in order to identify what type of content may go viral.

These preparations helped a lot during the first round of Brazil’s presidential elections, Facebook claimed.

The social networking giant said its technology detected a false post claiming that Brazil’s Election Day had been moved from October 7 to October 8 due to national protests.

While untrue, that message began to go viral. But the team quickly detected the problem, determined that the post violated Facebook’s policies, and removed it in under an hour.

“And within two hours, we’d removed other versions of the same fake news post,” Chakrabarti said.

The team in the War Room, Facebook said, also helped quickly remove hate speech posts that were designed to whip up violence against people from northeast Brazil after the first round of election results were called.

This past New Year’s, Spears wrapped a four-year run at Planet Hollywood’s Axis Theater. The show helped rebrand the city as a music destination as scores of tourists were able to take in hits like “Baby…

lectric car maker Tesla has announced a version of “Model 3” with a new ‘mid-range’ battery pack for $45,000 before incentives.

The new version, which was never announced, is coming as a surprise and it changes the whole pricing structure of “Model 3”, Electrek reported on Thursday. “Costs $35k after federal and state tax rebates in California, but true cost of ownership is closer to $31k after gas savings,” Tesla CEO Elon Musk wrote on Twitter.

While many reservation holders are waiting for the base version of the “Model 3” with a standard battery starting at $35,000, Tesla is coming out of nowhere with this unannounced new option.

“Model 3” has been available for over a year now with the ‘Long-Range’ battery pack version for 310 miles of range.

version was coming soon.

Instead of that version, Tesla is now launching a ‘mid-range’ battery with 260 miles of range for $45,000, according to an update to the Model 3’s online design studio.

With the launch of the new battery pack option, Tesla is making several changes to the Model 3’s price and option structure.

The main change is that the rear-wheel-drive option is now only available with the new mid-range pack and now the LongRange pack only comes with a dual motor all-wheel-drive powertrain.

“Tesla rear wheel drive cars do actually work well on snow & ice. We did our traction testing on an ice lake! Dual motor AWD is great, but not required for cold weather. Just don’t use sport/summer tires,” Musk wrote in an another tweet.

The price of the dual motor all-wheel-drive powertrain has been changed again. It’s now back to $5,000 -- resulting in a new base price for the Long Range “Model 3” of $54,000.

Chris Cornell’s works to be made into ‘box set’

O

n November 16, fans can celebrate the recorded legacy of musical icon and singer/ songwriter Chris Cornell with the 17-track self-titled album, “Chris Cornell”, and a 64-track limited-edition deluxe box set. The first release since his passing in 2017, the album will be made available by Cornell’s wife, Vicky Cornell, on behalf of the Chris Cornell estate through UMe. “Chris Cornell” commemorates his life and legacy not only as a singer, but as a poet and one of the most prolific writers and greatest voices of the modern rock era. Vicky worked extensively with Chris’s bandmates and friends to compile a collection of material from the late artist’s expansive career, showcasing his contribution to music history with selections culled from the deep catalogs of his three influential bands — Soundgarden, Temple Of The Dog and Audioslave — as well as songs from his solo career. She turned to

producer Brendan O’Brien, who was a trusted partner to Cornell over the years, and Jeff Ament, who created the packaging for “Chris Cornell”.

The first previously unreleased track, “When Bad Does Good”, was produced, recorded, and mixed by Cornell and was found in his personal recordings archive.

The track was a favorite of his and it wasn’t until friend Josh Brolin reminded Vicky of the unreleased song that she decided to share it with his fans. “Since Chris’s sudden passing, I have put all my efforts and energy into sharing his music and legacy with his fans from all over the world,” says Vicky. “I felt we needed to create a special collection to represent all of him — the friend, husband and father, the risk taker and innovator, the poet and artist. His soaring vocals found their way into the hearts and souls of so many. His voice was his vision and his words were his peace. This album is for his fans.”
