Govt defends removal of top CBI brass
Former BJP ministers move SC for CBI probe on Rafale deal
NEW DELHI, OCT 24 (PTI): In an unprecedented shake-up in the CBI’s 55year-history, both its Director Alok Verma and Special Director Rakesh Asthana were stripped of their powers and sent on leave in a dramatic overnight action by the government after their worsening feud sparked a serious crisis in the country’s premier probe agency. As the gover nment went into damage control mode in a bid to defuse the crisis, the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi late Tuesday night named Joint Director M Nageswar Rao, a 1986batch Odisha cadre IPS officer, as interim director with “immediate effect”. Immediately after taking charge around midnight, Rao ordered transfers of a dozen officers with one of them being sent to Port Blair and also constituted a fresh team to probe bribery and extortion charges against Asthana. Most of the officers shifted were part of the probe teams against Asthana, a Gujarat cadre IPS officer, according to

Christians in Manipur taking part in a silent peace rally demanding regularisation_ of churches constructed at public place in Imphal on Wednesday. Correspondent
IMPHAL, OCT 24: Thousands of Christians staged a silent mass rally in Imphal on Wednesday demanding regularization of Churches constructed in public places across Manipur. The rally was organized by All Manipur Christian Organization (AMCO)
alleging that none of the Churches across the state were included when Manipur government regularized 188 worshiping places constructed at public places. The rallyists carried placards some of which read “We want justice and equal treatment,” “No church no peace”, “We (Christian) for peace and harmony”,
“Respect the sanctity of church,” “We demand regularization of Christian worship place,” “Uphold Supreme Court’s order of 29 September 2009,” etc. The rally kick-started from Imphal’s THAU ground and culminated at the same place after marching through the streets of Imphal.
NPF stands for Nagas: Dr. Shürho DIMAPUR, OCT 24 (NPN): NPF president Dr Shürhozelie Liezietsu on Wednesday asserted that the regional party, considered to be “royal guard” of Naga people, stood for them and represented their identity. Speaking at a day-long seminar of the party at its central office at Kohima, Shürhozelie reminded the people that NPF, the second oldest regional political party in the country, was formed when there was turmoil in Naga soil. He assured that NPF would protect Naga identity and carry forward the aspirations of Naga people for early resolution of the Naga political problem, which had been its topmost priority, he added. Clarifying that NPF was not a power-hankering party but committed towards progress of the Naga people, Shürhozelie regretted that many present Naga
leaders had forgotten the Nagas’ political history and were running after money and power. However, NPF would always stand for the Nagas and preservation of their identity, stressed the veteran leader, adding that many Naga leaders had tried to form regional parties in the State only to contest elections without any roots and principles and disappeared. The NPF president also called upon party workers to remain firm with the party’s principle and stand, besides remaining committed to work for welfare of the Naga people. He urged the party workers to put God first and stand with the truth, emphasising that NPF was not formed just for acquiring power and money but to protect the Naga people and preserve their identity.
NPF Kohima division reiterates support
NPF Kohima division has announced to stand firm in supporting the leadership of party president Dr Shürhozelie Liezietsu and NPF Legislature Party leader TR Zeliang. This was resolved during a oneday seminar of the party’s Kohima division at the State Capital on Wednesday. Appreciating the electorate for bestowing their trust and electing its 26 legislators in the last Assembly election, thereby making it the single-largest party in the 13th Nagaland Legislative Assembly, the House urged Naga people to continue supporting the party and its leaders. The division also thanked the 26 legislators for standing firm with the party and its leadership, besides showing their courage in the recently-held Assembly ses(Cont’d on p-7) sion. (Cont’d on p-7)
In a series of tweets, Gandhi also said, “The Prime Minister’s message is very clear that whoever comes near Rafale (issue) will be removed, wiped out.” “Modi government buries the ‘last nail’ into the independence of CBI. Systematic dismantling and denigrating of CBI is now complete. Once a premier investigating agency, PM ensures that CBI’s integrity, credibility and reliability is buried and dead,” Congress Chief Spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said. A number of opposition leaders including TMC’s Mamata Banerjee, CPI(M)’s Sitaram Yechuri, BSP’s Mayawati, AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal and CPI’s D Raja also attacked the government over Verma’s removal. DMK president M K Stalin also slammed the government for removing Verma, alleging that institutional freedom was facing serious threat under the Modi government. Appointment of a controversial officer like Nageshwar Rao is nothing but to ensure that CBI remains the caged parrot of the BJP government, Stalin said.
Later, at a public meeting convened at the concluding part of the rally, AMCO president Prim Vaiphei protested against alleged government favouritism of religion. Despite repeated requests, the chief minister had failed to hear the demands of the Christians in the state even as a total of 188 worshiping places of different religions had already been regularized by the state government, he said. He claimed that churches in the state have been playing a big role in spreading the message of living together in peace and harmony among the different communities living in the state. “We are extremely unsatisfied with the government’s attempt to demolish churches in public places,” he said, asserting that churches were always upholding peace and harmony in the state.

offences. The petitioners moved the apex court after the CBI “under pressure from the government” did not register an FIR on their complaint. The trio on Oct 4 had handed over a complaint to CBI Director Alok Kumar Verma, demanding registration of FIR against Prime Minister Narendra Modi for alleged abuse of public office causing undue benefit worth “tens of thousands of crores” to a crony capitalist in the Rafale jet fighter deal. “It is clear that there is enormous pressure on the CBI because of the nature of the persons involved not to undertake this investiga-
Nagas not to be swayed
DIMPUR, OCT 24 (NPN): NSCN (K) led by Yung Aung has appealed to the Nagas not to be swayed by developments taking place in the ousted Khango group but to have faith in the militant group’s leadership. In a statement issued by its deputy C-in-C ‘lt. gen.’ Niki Sumi, the group under the leadership of Yung Aung clarified it did not have any problem whatsoever with the Khango group holding peace talks or entering into negotiations with any government or organization.

Only BS-VI vehicles to be sold from April 2020: SC NEW DELHI, OCT 24 (AGENCIES): Only Bharat Stage VI (or BS-VI) vehicles shall be sold across the country from April 1, 2020, the Supreme Court said on Wednesday. No BS-IV or BS-VI non-compliant vehicles can be sold after this deadline. The Bharat stage emission standards (BSES) are instituted by the government to regulate output of air pollutants from motor vehicles. In 2016, the centre had announced that the country would skip BS-V norms and adopt BS-VI norms by 2020. Emphasising on the urgent need to switch to a cleaner fuel, the top court also rejected the centre’s request for a three-month extension of the deadline so that car makers can sell their non-BS-VI vehicles. At a previous hearing, advocate Aparajita Singh,
tion,” they said praying for a SC monitored probe by specially designated CBI officers. The petition contends that the intergovernmental deal with France to purchase 36 Rafale jets announced by Modi in April 2015, was in complete violation of all laid-down defence procurement procedures. The petitioners have also cited French media reports about former France President Francois Hollande as saying that India had proposed the Indian private entity as the partner for the deal, to substantiate their charges of the deal being in violation of procedural mandates. It also states that the French government and Rafale makers Dassault Aviation were told that the deal will materialise only if a private Indian entity was made an offset partner. The petitioners said that the new deal gives “undue benefit” to both Dassault Aviation and the Indian company that amounted to criminal misconduct under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
who is advising the top court in the air pollution matter, had opposed the government’s move to extend the deadline till June 30, 2020 to enable vehicle manufacturers to sell their BS-VI noncompliant four-wheelers. The automobile manufacturers had justified the grace period saying India was attempting to jump from BSIV emission norms to BS-VI in a short span of time. BS-VI grade petrol and diesel, billed as “ultra-clean” fuel, became available in Delhi from April this year. The fuel helps even current generation vehicles cut particulate emissions by 10 to 20 per cent. The move to phase out BS-IV and promote use of clean fuel is aimed at lowering the alarming levels of air pollution in the national capital, among the world’s most-polluted megacities.
of Yung Aung as new chairman of the organisation. However, even after impeachment and providing safe passage for the impeached chairman Khango Konyak, it alleged that his handful of supporters were claiming to be NSCN (K). How can an impeached chairman still claim the chair from which he was unceremoniously removed, the outfit asked. Niki claimed that NSCN (K) had been actively pursuing the issue of Naga sovereignty since its formation so as to enable the flag of free Naga nation fly high. Towards this end, he said NSCN-K had been actively engaged in armed conflicts with both India and Myanmar “occupational forces”. He said NSCN (K) had been this way even today as Nagas were very well aware of.

Sabarimala: TDB not to file review plea
Devotee rush at the Sabarimala temple. (File) T h i ru va na n thapuram, Oct 24 (PTI): The TDB, which administers the Lord Ayyappa temple in Sabarimala, Wednesday decided against filing a review petition against the Supreme Court order lifting the ban on women of menstruating age from entering the shrine, saying it has “no relevance now”. M e a n w h i l e, f o u r young women devotees approached the Kerala High Court seeking a direction to the state government to provide them security so they could offer prayers at
the temple. A division bench comprising justices P R Ramachandra Menon and Devan Ramachandran heard their petition and sought the state government’s response to it. The TDB’s decision not to file a review petition came a day after the Supreme Court listed for hearing 19 such pleas for hearing on November 13. The Travancore Devaswom Board also resolved not to file a report in the Supreme Court on the situation that prevailed at the shrine and the surrounding

Mumbai, Oct 24 (PTI): The Bombay High Court Wednesday junked a lower court’s order, which had granted the police more time to file the chargesheet against lawyer Surendra Gadling and others, who were arrested in June for alleged Maoist links in the aftermath of violence at Bhima Koregaon near Pune. While the ruling can pave the way for Gadling and the other accused to seek bail, Justice Mridula Bhatkar stayed her own order from becoming effective till November 1 so that the government could file an appeal in the Supreme Court. In the ruling, Justice Bhatkar questioned how the police officers were allowed to make arguments independently before the Pune court, seeking additional time. “This shows the investigating officer has navigated (argued on) the application for extension of the period by further 90 days, which is not contemplated under the law,” the high court said. “The investigating officer is always interested in the success of conviction in the case. However, it is the duty of the public prosecutor to assist the court in the process of administration of justice by upholding the law,” the judge said. Gadling challenged the Pune court’s order extending the time given to the police to file the chargesheet and the consequent refusal of bail to him. He argued that the prosecution had failed to follow the due procedure while seeking the extension. üThe Pune police arrested Gadling, Nagpur University professor Shoma Sen, Dalit activist Sudhir Dhawale, activist Mahesh Raut and Kerala native Rona Wilson in June for their alleged links with Maoists under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). The arrests had followed raids at their residences and offices in connection with the Elgar Parishad conclave held in Pune on December 31 last year, which, the police had claimed, had led to violence at Bhima Koregaon the next day.

The Special Commissioner for Sabarimala M Manoj had yesterday filed a report in the Kerala High Court voicing apprehension that there could be “frenzied protests and turbulence” during the three-month-long annual pilgrim season beginning November 17 over the Supreme Court’s order allowing girls and women of all age groups to enter the temple. “During the festival season there will be large crowds in places connected
with Sabarimala pilgrimage and these type of protests by frenzied devotees and protestors may lead to crowd turbulence and stampede which may lead to injuries to pilgrims, police and others and loss of life,” Manoj said. TDB member K P Sankara Das said the board would file a report only if the apex court asked for it. Das told journalists the board would submit its response if the Supreme Court sought its views while considering the review petitions filed already. “There is no relevance of a review petition by the TDB now,” he said. The TDB had last week decided to approach the Supreme Court with a report on the situation following large-scale protests by Ayyappa devotees over the LDF government’s decision to implement the apex court order. The board’s decision came a day after Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said his government disfavoured filing a review plea and wanted the Supreme Court verdict enforced. Vijayan had also criticised the temple head priest and the Pandalam royal family, associated with the Sabarimala temple for ages, on Tuesday. He slammed head priest Kandararu Rajeevaru

Mamata, Mayawati slams BJP on CBI case
over his reported remark that he would lock the temple doors and go away if women of “barred” age group entered the premises, and asserted the TDB and not the erstwhile Pandalam royalty was the custodian of the shrine. The Pandalam royal family that once owned the temple criticised Vijayan on Wednesday with its representative Sasikumar Varma saying the temple belonged to devotees who had the right to question any violation of its customs and traditions. Attacking the BJPRSS combine, Vijayan said while secularism was enshrined in the Constitution, it was trying to destroy the secular fabric of the state on Sabarimala issue. He, however, insisted the number of such elements was “minuscule”, and asked secular people to isolate them. Meanwhile, Kerala police chief Loknath Behera held a meeting with his top officers to review the security arrangements to be put in place at the hill shrine for the upcoming Mandala-Makaravillaku season beginning November 17. According to sources, suggestions were made to restrict the crowd at ‘Sannidhanam’ (temple complex) during the festival period.
N e w D e l h i / LUC KNOW, Oct 24 (PTI): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Wednesday alleged that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has become the BJP’s policing agency. The Trinamool Congress chief ’s remarks come amid the ongoing spat between two top officers of the agency. “CBI has now become so called BBI (BJP Bureau of Investigation) - very unfortunate!” Banerjee tweeted. The government has divested CBI Director Alok Verma and Special Director Rakesh Asthana of all powers amid the ongoing spat between them, sources said, calling it the first such case in the history of the agency. The prime minister-led Appointments Committee Tuesday night gave charge of the director to Joint Director M Nageshwara Rao with immediate effect, a government order said. According to the law, the CBI director is appointed for a fixed tenure of two years. Earlier, Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala wondered if Verma was “sacked” for his keenness to probe the “layers of corruption” in the Rafale scam and sought an answer from Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley Wednesday said that the government’s decision to remove Verma and Asthana is based on the CVC’s rec-
Mayawati and Mamata Banerjee. (File) ommendations and asserted that it was absolutely essential to restore the agency’s institutional integrity and credibility.
Centre responsible for problems in CBI: Mayawati
BSP president Mayawati on Wednesday blamed the Centre for the state of affairs in the CBI and said other institutions are also facing similar problems because of the wrong policies being pursued by the government. “More than the officials, it is the central government which is responsible for the problems in the CBI,” Mayawati said in a statement. She said the Centre’s “vindictive, casteist and communal policies” have put not only the CBI, but also other agencies under similar threat. Cases like those involving Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi and the Rafale deal are blots
on the BJP-led government’s rule and they have not been probed properly, she said. However, she added, the ruling party misuses official machinery to target antiBJP parties and institutions. This has been happening for the last four-and-a-half years and this is the reason why people are losing faith in government institutions, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief said. This needs to be addressed, she added. Much wrong has been done to the premier investigating agency by interferences of different kinds in the past too, Mayawati said. What is happening now is a matter of grave concern for the country as it is giving rise to a lot of doubts in the minds of people and they seem to be losing faith in the CBI, she said. Speaking about the top CBI officials being sent on leave in the midst of night and a major overhauling of the central agency, Mayawati said it is good that the matter has gone to the Supreme Court.

Not holier than thou
A
rguments both in favor of and in opposition to gay and lesbian relationships that spills over to same-sex marriage (or equal marriage rights) are often made on religious grounds and/or formulated in terms of religious doctrine. The alternative lifestyle as it were, has gripped contemporary society and challenged the ethos of traditional religions and cultures. Since the beginning of time, the world has always been about man and woman and their union. Of course carnal relations between males and least among females, was not unknown in the ancient world, though it was not accepted as normal lifestyle. Over the centuries, society has witnessed challenges to traditional morality with regard to adultery and premarital sex. In the post-Second World War, the bounds of traditional morality was shaken to its core by a generation of youth who were fed up with the bounds of traditional mores. The so-called flower people of the 60s generation explored carnality beyond the limits of acceptability. In the west, many supporters of same sex marriages maintained that, by defining the institution of marriage as between one man and one woman, the state automatically tramples upon the constitutional rights to freedom of religion. After over a decade of court battle on PIL filed by gay and lesbian activists, a Constitution bench of the Supreme Court unanimously decriminalized Section 377(a) of the India Penal Code (IPC) which criminalizes consensual unnatural sex, saying it (Section 377) violated the right to equality. The PIL filed by gay and lesbian rights activists had pleaded that Section 377(a) infringed upon their rights. Although the majority of world religions oppose to same-sex marriage, the number of religious denominations that are gradually accepting this ‘alternative lifestyle’ are been increasing in recent times. Religious views on same-sex marriage are closely related to religious views on homosexuality. Various religions especially the orthodox within mainstream ones-Christianity, Islam and Hinduism- more or less adopt the same line. There is no objection of the Buddha found in the Tipitaka but the Buddha was neither supportive nor against marriages between members of the same gender. Hindus also hold almost similar views with other religions. However, there are both conservative and liberal views about homosexuality and same-sex marriages in Hinduism, which is similar to many other religions. This is because Hinduism has thousands of authorities who preside over millions of deities. Christians have not welcomed the Supreme Court ruling on decriminalizing Section 377(a). The Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC) has pledged to uphold the Biblical tenets against homosexuality and thereby, resolved not to accept the court ruling. The CBCC (Chakhesang) and ABAM (Ao) church organizations have already made it clear they oppose any attempt to legalize homosexuality in any form, despite court ruling. Same sex relationship is forbidden in the Bible which considers homosexuality as an abomination to God. However liberalism in Christianity has not stopped many denominations from changing the goal post of morality and religious acceptability. With demolition of moral borders under the onslaught of hedonism and liberalism, many prominent personalities have come out of the closet to reveal their sexual (dis)orientation. Support and affirmation of marriage rights for same-sex couples generally comes from certain western Christian denominations that are considered theologically liberal. It would do well for the church to study the issue and apply remedial measures if they are sincere and determined to confront the challenge.
DailyDevotion The Proper Perspective Thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ… —2 Corinthians 2:14 The proper perspective of a servant of God must not simply be as near to the highest as he can get, but it must be thehighest. Be careful that you vigorously maintain God’s perspective, and remember that it must be done every day, little by little. Don’t think on a finite level. No outside power can touch the proper perspective. The proper perspective to maintain is that we are here for only one purpose— to be captives marching in the procession of Christ’s triumphs. We are not on display in God’s showcase— we are here to exhibit only one thing— the “captivity [of our lives] to the obedience of Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5). How small all the other perspectives are! For example, the ones that say, “I am standing all alone, battling for Jesus,” or, “I have to maintain the cause of Christ and hold down this fort for Him.” But Paul said, in essence, “I am in the procession of a conqueror, and it doesn’t matter what the difficulties are, for I am always led in triumph.” Is this idea being worked out practically in us? Paul’s secret joy was that God took him as a blatant rebel against Jesus Christ, and made him a captive— and that became his purpose. It was Paul’s joy to be a captive of the Lord, and he had no other interest in heaven or on earth. It is a shameful thing for a Christian to talk about getting the victory. We should belong so completely to the Victor that it is always His victory, and “we are more than conquerors through Him…” (Romans 8:37). “We are to God the fragrance of Christ…” (2 Corinthians 2:15). We are encompassed with the sweet aroma of Jesus, and wherever we go we are a wonderful refreshment to God.

Post-mortem
Mixed fortunes for festive realty
I
n the backdrop of stagnant prices, rising interest rates, improving sales and recovering residential real estate, the current trends in the property market during this year’s festive season, marked by the onset of Navratras, point to mixed fortunes in store for the real sector. This festive season is marked by fading buying sentiment of home buyers, especially the millennials. As thousands of home buyers are struggling to either get their homes or money back due to stalled projects, prospective home buyers have become much more cautious. They are now more practical in terms of the safety of their investment and are not easily swayed by the sentiment of auspicious buying during the festive season. Rather, they look for safe investments coupled with attractive deals. Of late, in the wake of the real estate slowdown, stagnant property prices and rising development risks, investors have been missing from the residential property market. And, with key reforms undertaken by the government to regulate real estate, the market has turned end-use oriented. And, as such, developers have to deal with tough and cautious consumers who are not easily lured away. Adversely impacted by the absence of investors, developers in this festive season are worried about their under-construction home inventory as buyers are wary of touching projects which are in the development stage. Moreover, what is further going against under-construction projects is that deals on ready homes are more lucrative compared to under-construction homes.
Rather, buyers of ready homes are better off with the saving of GST. As such, in the absence of better or even matching deals, under- construction homes may not find takers in the festive season. This, however, has a silver lining in that sale of ready homes has been on the rise, with an Anarock survey revealing that 84 percent buyers want property which is ready-to-move or likely to be living-ready in six months. And there are logical reasons for that. Not only are buyers saved from development risk, they also save on 12 per cent GST. They also enjoy the benefit of income tax relief under Section 80C which is applicable only to completed homes with occupation and registration certificates. To top it all, the buyer is saved from the double burden of EMI and house rent. Keeping this in view, developers have been focusing on project completions and this inventory of ready homes will come handy for developers to push sales in this festive season. Stagnant property prices and reasonable interest rates may well work in favour of developers. Though the interest rates have seen two consecutive hikes in policy rates, yet the status quo maintained by RBI in this month’s policy announcement is encouraging for home buyers in the sense that they are still within affordable limits. Buyers may well like to go for home buying considering that interest rates will go up further due to economic turbulence and rising inflation due to increasing oil prices. Further, the substantial interest subsidy available to buyers of affordable and mid-segment
homes under PMAY has been pushing the sale of affordable homes, with 39 per cent buyers preferring to invest in homes priced below Rs 40 lakh. In view of this, developers have been keeping up the momentum of building affordable homes. As per the Anarock report, this segment saw a 65 per cent increase in supply in Q3 2018 against the same period last year. And, as the developers have lined up an inventory of affordable homes, they can expect good sales of homes from this segment. NRIs are also turning to be big saviours for developers during this festive season as their investments have been on the rise due to the sharp depreciation of the rupee. According to a recent report by leading property brokerage, 360 Realtors, NRIs in the first two quarters of this financial year, already account for 25 per cent of overall sales. Developers are upbeat that during festive season between October and December, home sales to NRIs will top at least 30 per cent of the overall sales. One distint trend visible during this festive season is that capital-starved developers are desperate to cut their unsold inventory to generate money. This is especially as they are starved of funds to complete their unfinished projects. Moreover, from this fiscal, they have been slapped with a heavy tax on their home inventory which is more than one year old. As such, they are out to offer best possible deals/discounts and buyers can make most of this opportunity during the festive season.

Importance of rehabilitation care post road accident
R
oad traffic accidents have become far more common in the past few decades. Young adults between 19 and 29 are more at risk. According to one estimate, two million people are left with physical disabilities due to accidents. Road accidents are responsible for 19 per cent of brain injuries and about 40 per cent of spinal cord injuries. Young adults are usually more at risk of such injuries. About 40 per cent of these accidents lead to poor physical and mental status. Rehabilitation experts can help regain bodily functions and gain movements by coping with weakness and paralysis of limbs. Rehabilitation centres help manage pain through exercise programmes post-trauma that may have occurred due to a road accidents. Many techniques are available these days for managing post-operative pain and discomfort caused by the phantom limb -- the sensation that an amputated or missing limb is still attached. Some of the techniques include interferential therapy and TENS (nerve stimulation) therapy powered by electric currents that produce therapeutic effects. Road accidents are the second leading cause of amputation. Amputation is required if the patient has lost a large amount of soft tissue or any opportunistic infection that occurs within the affected limb causing gangrene that may become fatal if left as it is. Amputation can cause disability and emotional breakdown for a person. A rehabilitation centre helps a person to become mobile again and modify his ways to perform daily activities, making him independent. It also includes psychological rehabilitation so the patient is able to set new goals and
lead a life worth living. Prolonged immobilisation due to fracture, soft tissue injury or many other factors can have serious consequences, including restricted joint movement, weakness and atrophy of muscles, limb swelling, etc. Lower extremity immobilisation may prove fatal due to a condition called deep vein thrombosis in which emboli is formed that may make its way to vital organs like lungs and clog the main artery. Two in 1,000 cases of trauma deep vein thrombosis are observed in the US. Rehabilitation programmes are planned, keeping in mind all complications. Different modalities like suspension beds, etc., are used to slowly make the patient mobile and prevent limb swelling. It is not abnormal for a person to have negative thoughts after a trauma. Whether will the person be able to walk and perform his activities properly? Will he be able to fulfill his dreams and aspirations? Especially, in cases of amputation and brain injury where the patient may become psychologically weak, psychological rehabilitation plays a crucial role in encouraging the patient to work towards his recovery and goals. The patient is required to stay positive during his treatment period. If you are a victim of an road accident, it is important to realise the merits of post-hospitalisation rehabilitation centres. Patients can recover faster from traumatic brain or spine injury, manage pain, or deal with the emotional distress of the accident or immobilisation better with the help of a recovery programme at a rehabilitation centre.

BJP ally wants Parrikar to give up charge Manohar Parrikar (File)
three Independents and an NCP legislator. Dhavalikar said, "Every day, we have to pacify people who come to our doorstep, complaining about collapse of the administration. What shall we tell them?" He said his party will have to take "further decision" if charge is not handed over to any senior minister by Parrikar within a month. "We will wait for a month for the chief minister to hand over the charge... The partys Central Committee will meet and discuss the situation before taking any further decision," he said. Dhavalikar also said that his party is contemplating moving the Goa Bench of Bombay High Court against "frequent" mid-term switchover by MLAs from one party to another. "We will plead that the law should be enacted wherein it should be illegal for any MLA to switch
over to any other party mid-term. The frequent byelections are straining government resources, which is the money of tax payers, he said. He was apparently referring to the recent development of two Congress MLAs quitting their membership of the Assembly and joining the BJP. The Congress had emerged as the singlelargest party in the fractured verdict thrown up in the Assembly election in March last year. However, it had failed to form the government as it could not muster the required majority.
Parrikar is expected to rejoin office in Nov
The BJP in Goa Wednesday said Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, whose extended absence from office due to ill health has sparked demands of temporary replacement, is likely to resume duty next month. The state unit Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) president Vinay Tendulkar, however, conceded the pace of administration in the coastal state has “slowed down” in absence of the chief minister. Earlier in the day, Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP) president Di-
urgent need to declare the state as drought-hit. “Karnataka government has declared drought without any condition but Maharashtra government has not done so despite water and crop conditions getting worse. Will Fadanvis declare drought only after seeing the panchang,” he said. Referring to the farmers’ recent protest march to Delhi, Thackeray said cultivators had gone to the national capital to get their demands fulfilled but they were lobbed with teargas shells and beaten up. “We were hopeful that our wishes will be fulfilled after this government came to power, but it vain,” said Thackeray, whose party is an ally of the BJP at the Centre and in Maharashtra.
C h e nna i , O c t 2 4 (IANS): Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K. Palaniswami on Wednesday urged the Prime Minister to direct the Ministry of Environment to withdraw the recommendation to grant terms of reference for environmental impact assessment for a new dam by Kerala at Mullaperiyar. In a letter to Modi, text of which was released to the media here, Palaniswami said the expert appraisal committee for River Valley and hydro projects functioning under the Ministry of Environment had given its recommendation at its meeting held on Sepetember 27. Palaniswami said the action of Kerala government approaching the Central government and the later entertaining the same is violative of a Supreme Court order. “In the construction of a new dam, there has to be an agreement between the two sides. The offer made by Kerala cannot be thrust upon Tamil Nadu,” Palaniswami quoted a portion from the apex’s court order. “I also request you to advise the Ministry of Environment to desist from entertaining and considering any proposal of the Kerala government on new Mullai Periyar Dam in future,” Palaniswami said.
Manipur Christians stage silent rally in Imphal
Uddhav criticises Fadnavis for ‘delay’ in declaring drought
Beed, Oct 24 (PTI): Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray has questioned Maharashtra government’s “delay” in declaring drought in the state following scanty rainfall. At a rally here Tuesday, Thackeray wondered if Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis would declare drought only after consulting the “panchang” (astrological daily calendar). Fadnavis said Tuesday that around 180 talukas in the state are facing a drought-like situation, as the state received only 77 per cent of its average rainfall this year. Thackeray accused the BJP-led Maharashtra government of wasting time in discussions, adding the water scarcity situation has worsened in Maharashtra and there is an
pak Dhavlikar demanded that Parrikar hand over his charge to “any of the senior ministers” till he recovered from illness. He also said the people of Goa were complaining about the “collapse” of administration in absence of Parrikar. The MGP is one of the two regional constituents of the Manohar Parrikarled coalition government-the other being the Goa Forward Party (GFP). Notably, GFP chief and Cabinet minister Vijai Sardesai had last week said that the CM’s ailment was affecting his work and that of the state administration. BJP president Amit Shah had earlier clarified that Parrikar would continue to helm the coalition government. Tendulkar also informed that no discussion was being held at the state level about the change of guard. “We don’t have the right to discuss issues like the leadership change. Senior leaders of the party in Delhi will take a call on it,” said the BJP leader. When asked about Dhavalikar’s statement, Tendulkar said, “the administration has become slow due to Parrikar’s absence from office”.

(From p-1) “This is not justice on the part of the governance. There is no justice in this land. Governance partiality to religion will bring no good result,” he said. Meanwhile, in a memorandum submitted to the chief minister, the AMCO has requested the chief minister to regularize the churches. On the other hand, chief minister N Biren Singh said that the issue of construction of Church in RIMS campus, Imphal, for which an eviction notice had already been issued, has nothing to do with the state government. “The case is pending in the high court,” he said adding that there was no question of state government discriminating against any individual on the basis of their caste, religion, community etc. “My government believes in secularism, unity and respect all communities belonging to different religions, creed and caste etc. in the state,” he added.

Delhi are saving the national capital from ill-effects of stubble burning in the neighbouring state. However, north-westerly winds from Punjab and Haryana, where farmers are burning the paddy residue, will reach within two-three days, aggravating pollution in Delhi. “Delhi may see northwesterly winds in the next two days. Currently, the humidity is low. Lower mor ning temperatures mixed with pollutants form haze, resulting in a spike in
the pollution levels,” said Mahesh Palawat, director private weather forecasting agency Skymet. On Wednesday, the average PM2.5 or particles with diameter less than 2.5mm, in Delhi was 176 units across 36 regions and 172 units across 48 regions of NCR. The permissible limit of PM2.5, the major pollutant is 60 units as per national standards. Meanwhile, Mundaka in Outer Delhi was most polluted with AQI of 448 or severe at 5pm. Among other areas with severe air quality were Dwarka sub-city, Rohini, Bawana, Anand Vihar, Jahangirpuri, Narela, Nehru Nagar, Sonia Vihar, Vivek Vihar, Wazirpur, Mathur Raod and Noida sector-125. Meanwhile, the System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research (SAFAR) issued advisory to avoid strenuous outdoor physical activity early morning and after sunset.
(From p-1) In his speech, party’s secretary general and State’s lone Rajya Sabha member KG Kenye informed the gathering that NPF was the only regional party registered with Election Commission of India with the mention “Naga”, signifying Naga people and their identity. He reiterated that NPF topmost priority was to resolve the Naga political issue, adding that, ever since its formation, the party was working for its resolution amicably. Kenye alleged that many forces were trying to destabilise NPF, but added God always stood for truth. Speaking on the occasion, former minister and advisor to NPF president Thenucho Tunyi said during any political party’s journey, many temptations could come, but urged the party workers to remain faithful and committed to the party’s principle. The seminar was chaired by NPF vice president Kruzakie Kelio, while the welcome address was delivered by party’s Kohima division president Guonei-u Sirie. Vote of thanks was given by CoB general secretary Khrielezo Bio. This was stated in a press release issued by NPF’s press bureau.

Panaji, Oct 24 (PTI/ Ag e n c i e s ) : M a h a rashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP), an ally of the ruling BJP in Goa, on Wednesday demanded that the ailing Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar give up his charge within a month, failing which it will take "further decision." MGP President Dipak Dhavalikar said the patience of the people is running out and they want some solution to the "current crisis" caused by the illness of Parrikar. Parrikar, 62, has been unwell for the last few months. He is currently recuperating at his home here after his discharge from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi. Dhavalikar said the people of the state have been complaining about the "collapsed administration" due to long absence of the chief minister. "Since he (Parrikar) is recuperating at home, he should hand over the charge to any of the senior ministers till he recovers," the leader of MGP said. MGP, with 3 MLAs, is supporting the 14-member BJP, in the 40-member Goa Assembly. The Parrikar-led government is also being supported by three-member Goa Forward Party,

NEW DELHI, Oct 24 (PTI): Gold prices spurted by Rs 150 to trade at this year’s high of Rs 32,500 per 10 grams at the bullion market Wednesday on persistent buying by local jewellers amid a firm trend overseas. Silver, however, shed Rs 20 to Rs 39,730 per kg owing to reduced offtake by industrial units. Traders said increased buying by local jewellers to meet festive and wedding season demand and a firm trend overseas mainly lifted gold prices to this year’s highest level. Gold prices in overseas markets rose 0.11 per cent to $1,232.20 an ounce in Singpore. It touched $1,239.68 an ounce Tuesday, highest since July 17 as geopolitical and economic uncertainty raised demand for the precious metals as a safe-haven. Silver also moved up by 0.17 per cent to $14.83 an ounce. In the national capital, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per cent purity advanced by Rs 150 each to Rs 32,500 and Rs 32,350 per 10 grams, respectively, its highest level this year.
cies overseas also helped the recovery in the domestic currency. “The Indian r upee traded higher by 41 paise at 73.16 per dollar versus a previous close of 73.57 on the back falling crude oil prices and on dollar selling by banks and exporters,” said Sunil Sharma, Chief Investment Officer, Sanctum Wealth Management. At the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex), the rupee opened higher at 73.18, and soon gained further ground to jump 48 paise to touch a high of 73.09 on increased selling of the American currency by exporters and banks.

Mumbai, Oct 24 (PTI): The rupee strengthened by 41 paise to close at more than three-week high of 73.16 against the US currency Wednesday as global crude oil prices eased and domestic equity markets staged a smart rebound. Forex dealers said softening crude oil prices supported the rupee’s upward movement. On Tuesday, Saudi Arabia pledged to meet any supply shortfalls and replace any looming shortages due to Iranian sanctions, which will start on November 4. Following this, Brent crude prices plunged to below USD 76 level before recovering to USD 76.03 per barrel.

Power and Steel Ltd are at the final stages of resolution. Lenders are expecting to recover almost 86 per cent of the Rs 490 billion loan in case of Essar Steel. ArcelorMittal has agreed to pay a total of Rs 500 billion, including a Rs 80 billion capital infusion, to acquire the firm. In the initial round of bidding, Bhushan Power and Steel had got bids of Rs 110 billion from JSW Steel, Rs 170 billion from Tata Steel and Rs 185 billion from Liberty House. JSW Steel had subsequently revised its bid to Rs 197 billion, which has now won the approval of lenders. Various measures taken by the government including implementation of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) will help banks to get good money from the resolution of large NPA cases, sources said.
“We will test, learn and develop use cases that will help us meet the diverse needs of our customers in the future. 5G will also help create the backbone on which Digital India initiatives will be delivered,” Shrivastava added.

The PCA framework is an essential element for safeguarding overall financial stability, he had said. With the resolution of large NPA cases getting closure to conclusion, the Finance Ministry expects that realisation from the proceeds may help some of the banks to come out of Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) framework this fiscal.

US aided Jamal Khashoggi’s murder, says Hassan Rouhani Tehran, Oct 24 (IANS): Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Wednesday said that Saudi Arabia wouldn’t have dared to kill dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi without the support of the US, a close Riyadh ally. Rouhani’s comments came after US President Donald Trump on Tuesday called Saudi Arabia’s account of Khashoggi’s killing in Turkey as “the worst cover up ever” and revoked visas for Saudi agents suspected in the killing. “No one would imagine that in today’s world and in this century, we would witness such an organized murder, with an apparatus organizing such a heinous killing,” Rouhani told a Cabinet meeting. “I don’t think any country dares to commit such a crime without a green light from the US,” he was
Hassan Rouhani
cited as saying by the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA). Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday said the journalist was the victim of a carefully planned “political murder” by Saudi intelligence officers and other officials. Khashoggi, a supporter-turned-critic of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, disappeared on October 2 after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. The
kingdom first denied any involvement in the disappearance, but amid mounting international pressure, acknowledged that he had been killed at the consulate in a rogue operation. The Iranian President described the case as a “big test” for the so-called advocates of human rights, particularly the US and Europe, Press TV reported. “Undoubtedly, the positions which the US, Europe and other world countries adopt on the issue will reveal the degree of their sensitivity to (protecting) human rights and to preserving human dignity,” he said. “It seems that a clan that is governing a country and enjoying immunity is not afraid of committing such crimes, since it is depending on a super power’s support, in such a way that even the courts of human rights are not allowed to probe it.

China opens world’s longest sea bridge
HONG KONG, Oct 24 (Agencies): The world’s longest sea bridge connecting Hong Kong, Macau and mainland China opened to traffic Wednesday, with excited travellers making their first journeys along what has been described as a politically-driven and costly white elephant, AFP reported. Passengers and tour groups gathered at Hong Kong’s cross-border coach terminus and bus operators gave away Chinese pastries and roasted meat to passengers. “I wanted to try this and see if it’s convenient. I’ll be checking out the view too, after all this is a historic engineering project,” said Angie Cheng, 58, who was taking the second bus of the day out to Macau. The 55-kilometre (34mile) crossing links Hong Kong with the southern mainland city of Zhuhai and the gambling enclave of Macau, across the waters of the Pearl River Estuary.

Supporters have hailed it as an engineering triumph but detractors say it is a politically driven and costly white elephant that is part of an attempt by Beijing to integrate semi-autonomous Hong Kong into the mainland. It is the second major infrastructure project ty-
ing Hong Kong to mainland China to open within weeks -- a high-speed rail link began operations last month sparking criticism Hong Kong was giving away territory with part of the terminus under mainland jurisdiction. With a sweeping view of the ocean, mountains
and rocky islets, the bridge was partly shrouded in haze Wednesday when news agency AFP took an early bus to Macau, but passengers still recorded the whole trip on smartphones. Traffic was light after criticism from some legislators and residents that public access to the bridge
is too limited. “Every big infrastructure has a relatively low volume of passenger and traffic flow in the initial period. It takes time to build up,” secretary for transport and housing Frank Chan told reporters. Only 10,000 licences have been granted to Hong Kong residents to drive private cars to Zhuhai if they meet highly selective criteria, including holding certain mainland government positions or making major contributions to charities in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong. Most people will need to go by bus. Travellers go through immigration and customs points at both ends of the bridge. Chan did not say how many Hong Kong residents would travel the bridge Wednesday but estimated 30,000 mainland Chinese visitors would make the crossing into Hong Kong on the inaugural day.
Pakistan gets $6 billion from Saudis, still needs IMF loan Security scare in US: Suspicious object sent
ISLAMABAD, Oct 24 (Agencies): Pakistan has negotiated a $6 billion assistance package of loans and deferred payments from Saudi Arabia in hopes of resuscitating its flagging economy, struggling under the weight of a whopping $18 billion deficit, Fox News reported. Analysts say the Saudi infusion will allow Islamabad to breathe a little easier as it seeks a critical loan from the International Monetary Fund.
The deal was signed Tuesday by Pakistan’s Finance Minister Asad Umar and his Saudi counterpart, Muhammad Abdullah AlJadaan, on the sidelines of an international investment forum underway in Riyadh. It came as Pakistan’s new Prime Minister Imran Khan attended the highprofile conference, despite calls from Pakistani human rights activists to boycott the venue in protest of the killing of journalist Jamal
Khashoggi in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul — a slaying that has shocked the international community. Many business executives, officials and others have pulled out of the gathering, known as the Future Investment Initiative Conference, which was the brainchild of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and which runs through Thursday. Khan, who took power following general elections in July, inherited an
economy in shambles, with foreign exchange reserves barely sufficient to cover a month’s worth of the country’s import bills. Local news organizations quoted Khan as saying that Pakistan could not afford to boycott the conference, although he did denounce the killing of Khashoggi. After Saudi Arabia, Khan was to visit the United Arab Emirates and Malaysia before returning to Pakistan.
The desperately needed Saudi financial infusion provides Pakistan with an immediate $3 billion to bolster its foreign exchange reserves, according to a foreign ministry statement. Pakistan is to return the $3 billion after one year, but the terms are apparently negotiable. Pakistan is also to receive $3 billion in oil imports on a buy-now-pay-later basis under the Saudi deal.

But it is the first that uses the Bible. Beyond providing infinite inspiration, each version of the Bible contains more than 31,000 verses that the researchers used to produce over 1.5 million unique pairings of source and target verses for machinelearning training sets. It is already thoroughly indexed by the consistent use of book, chapter and verse numbers. The predictable organisation of the text across versions eliminates the risk of alignment errors that could be caused by automatic methods of matching different versions of the same text, the researchers noted. “The Bible is a ‘divine’ data set to work with to study this task,” said Daniel Rockmore, Professor of computer science at Dartmouth.

Federer, 37-year-old and the current world No. 3, needed two hours and nine minutes on Tuesday night to achieve his 67th victory in his hometown tournament, where he has only lost nine games and reached eleven consecutive finals, reports Efe news agency. The Swiss star will play in the round of 16 against German Jan-Lennard Struff, who defeated Australian John Millman on Tuesday 7-6 (3) and 6-2. Struff thus prevented a meeting between Federer and Millman and a repeat of the duel of the US Open in which the Australian surprised all and against the odds defeated the Swiss.

3rd DEATH ANNIVERSARY Of our most beloved
MENUZOL MARCUS RHUTSO 05-05-1996 TO 25-10-2015
“For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.” 1 Thessalonians 4:14 We only have a picture now, a frozen piece of time, to remind us of how it was, when you were here. Every day for three years, we couldn’t tell you goodbye, we only love you. We listen to your memories, your smile and your warm heart. You are always here, in our home and in our hearts. May the Lord always keep your lamp burning. We miss you every day. “Sometimes I catch a glimpse, In softened waves of blue, My child, my heart… when I see a smile, I can’t help but think of you.”
“FOREVER OUR PRIDE AND OUR JOY” Our Memories will be forever short, but Beautiful. Always in our Hearts, FAMILY

Correspondent
IMPHAL, Oct 24: The first North East Olympic games got underway at the main stadium Khuman Lampak sports complex, Imphal after it was inaugurated by Manipur chief minister N. Biren Singh on Wednesday. The meet will conclude on October 28. The games is organized by Manipur Olympic Association. Around 2000 sportspersons including officials from eight North Eastern states are competing in 12 sports disciplines. The events include: archery, athletics, badminton, football, judo, shooting, table tennis, weight lifting, taekwondo, karate, boxing and wushu. Nagaland is represent-
ed by 175 contingents including the team officials. Addressing the inaugural function, the chief minister said that North East has a distinct identity with similar culture and features. “We as a region have not been able to cohesively integrate emotionally, socially or economically. It has been a long cherished dream of the region to create a platform to bring peace and friendship through sports,” he said. He said that lot of work was needed to optimally utilize and unlock the full potential of the talents in the region. The chief minister said that various sportspersons from Manipur and other North East states have made various achieve-
ments in the regional, national and international arena. He also highlighted how sports had become an aspirational career option and presents tremendous potential for the young and talented of the region. The Northeast Olympic Games will provide valuable exposure and experience to young participants and inspire future sportspersons, he said. Singh further appealed to the people of the state to show the best hospitality and their rich tradition and culture to the visiting sportspersons. State education minister and chairman of Manipur Olympic Association, Th Radheshyam said that it was the humble beginning of the Manipur
Olympic Association to offer a common platform to come together, embarking upon a new journey to show the path of peace and harmony through the spirit of games and sports. The North East Olympic Games will be a grooming ground for the young talents of the region, he added. Earlier, the chief minister took salute of the march-past contingents from the eight teams. State YAS minister Letpao Haokip, health and family welfare minister L Jayantakumar Singh, minister for sports and youth affairs of Arunachal Pradesh Dr Mohesh Chal were among others who attended the opening function.

India vs West Indies 2nd ODI ends in tie
V I S A K H A PAT N A M , OCT 24 (PTI): Run-machine Virat Kohli sprinted to fastest 10,000 ODI runs but West Indies stole a tie from India with Shai Hope’s gutsy hundred in an exhilarating second one-dayer here on Wednesday. India notched up 321 for six, while the West Indies, needing 14 runs in the final over and five off the last ball, levelled the score with Hope (123 not out) cutting Umesh Yadav for a boundary. Besides Hope’s ton, there was also Shimron Hetmyer’s 94-run blitzkrieg. Kuldeep Yadav showed his worth again with three wickets. Opting to bat, Kohli fired 157 off 129 balls, while Ambati Rayudu, who is seen as the answer to the team’s persistent problems at the number four slot by Kohli himself, made a fluent 73 off 80 deliveries. The 29-year-old Kohli, who hit 13 boundaries and four sixes, bettered the iconic Sachin Tendulkar’s record by an incredible 54 innings, and then went past 1000 runs in the calendar year in only 11 innings, which is also the fastest. India were, however, off to a poor start when Rohit Sharma (4) was dismissed early by Kemar Roach in the fourth over of the day. Save the one dropped catch by West Indies skipper Jason Holder who ran backwards from mid-off, Kohli looked untroubled throughout and

seemed to be satisfied with the way his partner at the other end, Rayudu, was batting. Kohli was on 44 when he got the life. The West Indies spinners, especially senior pro Devendra Bishoo, could not deliver on a pitch that offered turn and played slow. In reply, Kieran Powell (18) and Chanderpaul Hemraj started West Indies’ response by hitting a few quick boundaries, but Moham-
med Shami had the former caught behind. A 143-run partnership ensued between Hetmyer and Shai Hope for the fourth wicket as the duo took calculated risks. BRIEF SCORES: India - 321/6 in 50 Overs (Kohli - 157, Rayudu - 73, AR Nurse - 2/46) West Indies - 321/7 in 50 Overs ( S Hope - 123*, Hetmyer - 94, Kuldeep 3/67)
Kohli fastest to 10,000 ODI runs
IANS Adds: India skipper Virat Kohli on Wednesday surpassed batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar to become the fastest batsman to amass 10,000 runs in ODI. Kohli reached the milestone in his 205th ODI innings, 54 innings quicker than Tendulkar. The 29year-old is the fifth Indian batsman and 13th overall to achieve the landmark. Besides Kohli and Tendulkar (18,426), the other Indian batters to achieve the feat are former skippers Sourav Ganguly (11,363), Rahul Dravid (10,889) and Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who reached the milestone not very long ago. The rest are one player each from Pakistan, Australia, the West Indies, and South Africa.
FC Goa beat Mumbai City 5-0 in ISL Champions League: Juventus beat Man Utd; Real, City win

Fatorda (Goa), Oct 24 (IANS): FC Goa surged to the top of the Indian Super League (ISL) table after a comprehensive 5-0 win over Mumbai City FC at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Wednesday. Star striker Ferran Corominas converted an early penalty (6’) to hand the hosts the lead before second half strikes from Jackichand Singh (55’), Edu Bedia (61’) made it 3-0. A late brace from Miguel Palanca (84’, 90’) condemned Mumbai City to a heavy defeat. The game got off to an end-to-end start and Mumbai should have taken the lead when Arnold Issoko scuffed his effort from a corner.
Fr o m t h e e n s u i n g counter, Souvik Chakrabarti brought down Coro with a horrendous challenge which left the referee no option but to point to the spot. The former Espanyol striker pulled off a Panenka which bewildered Amrinder Singh and handed Goa the lead. The visitors had several opportunities to score the equaliser as they won several free headers inside the Goa box but just could not test Nawaz. Goa threatened themselves but Amrinder came to Mumbai’s rescue on occasions. The floodgates opened in the second session when Seriton Fernandes’ cross into the box was turned into the net by Jackichand
who got ahead of Souvik Chakrabarti to make it 2-0. The Gaurs then added one more to the tally through Bedia’s stunning outside of the foot shot which sailed into the back of the net. Goa were in cruise control by this time. Miguel Palanca, who came on in the 82nd minute, hammered the final nails in Mumbai City’s coffin with a well-taken brace. First, Palanca took Manvir Singh’s cross in his stride and lifted a finish over substitute goalkeeper Ravi Kumar before sending a left-footed finish past the goalkeeper in the 90th minute after bringing Ahmed Jahouh’s cross from the right wing. The victory would be proof for Sergio Lobera that his tiki taka ways were producing results. Goa have now scored 10 goals in their first three matches and will next face FC Pune City in the next home game on Sunday. The win sees Goa climb above Bengaluru FC and NorthEast United on goal difference at the top of the table while Mumbai drop to the seventh spot. Thursday’s match North East United Vs Jamshedpur: 7:30 p.m
L O N D O N, O CT 2 4 (AGENCIES):Cristiano Ronaldo marked his return to Old Trafford with a victory as Juventus beat Manchester United 1-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday, while underpressure Real Madrid got back to winning ways, AFP reported. Julen Lopetegui’s days as Madrid coach still look numbered despite seeing the reigning European champions beat Viktoria Plzen on a night in which both Bayern Munich and Manchester City won on the road. It is just one win in seven matches now for Jose Mourinho’s United after they went down to defeat against an accomplished Juventus, who were worthy victors. Ronaldo played a key role in the winner as it was his cross, aimed at Juan Cuadrado, which ended up falling for Paulo Dybala to tuck home in the 17th minute. Ronaldo also forced a superb save from David de Gea, while Paul Pogba struck the post for United, who drew another blank at home in Europe after a 0-0 draw with Valencia three weeks ago. Juventus have maxi-

mum points after three games in Group H, and host Mourinho’s side in Turin next. The good news for United is that they remain second in the group after Valencia were held to a 1-1 draw by Young Boys in Switzerland. M i c h y B a t s h u ay i put the Spaniards ahead, but Guillaume Hoarau’s second-half penalty gave Young Boys their first point. Lopetegui’s position
in charge of Real remains fragile despite his side claiming a first win in six games by beating Viktoria Plzen 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu. Karim Benzema headed Madrid ahead early on, and Marcelo later doubled their lead before Patrik Hrosovsky scored for the Czech champions to set up a nervy finale. Reports suggest Lopetegui may still not survive in the job until Sunday’s Clasico against Barcelona,
but the result did at least keep Real level with Roma atop Group G. Roma eased to a 3-0 win over CSKA Moscow, who had beaten Real in their last outing, with Edin Dzeko scoring a first-half brace before Cengiz Under sealed the points. That game was overshadowed by reports that around 20 people had been injured -- at least one seriously -- when an escalator leading to a metro station in central Rome collapsed.
Italian media said Russian football fans caused the accident. Pe p G u a r d i o l a ’s Manchester City had little trouble against Shakhtar Donetsk, winning 3-0 in Ukraine to atone for a defeat there last season. David Silva and Aymeric Laporte scored before Bernardo Silva sealed the win with a brilliant goal within seconds of coming off the bench in the second half. After losing at home to Lyon in their Group F opener, City have now won back-to-back games on the road and the result in the night’s other match went their way. Brazilian forward Joelinton’s stoppage-time goal earned Hoffenheim a 3-3 draw at home to Lyon, allowing City to lead the group from the French side. Andrej Kramaric netted twice for Hoffenheim in between strikes from Bertrand Traore and Tanguy Ndombele, but Memphis Depay appeared to have won it for Lyon before Joelinton intervened. Meanwhile, Javi Martinez and Robert Lewandowski scored second-half goals as Bayern beat AEK Athens 2-0 in Greece.
India thrash Pakistan 18-0 in AFC U-19 Women’s C’ship Qualifiers
NEW DELHI, OCT 24 (AGENCIES): India’s U-19 women’s team trampled Pakistan in a mammoth victory as they scored 18 goals past the neighbours in their AFC U-19 Women’s Championship Qualifiers opener on Wednesday, India Today reported. Renu put up a five-star performance and scored five goals of the total 18 herself. All of Renu’s goals came in the second half as India earned a massive victory in their first match in Thailand. Apart from Renu, Manisha also registered a solid hattrick. The Indians dived right into the game from kick-off itself and maintained the intensity on their opponents right through the match, as they took the scoreline well
into double figures. Manisha opened India’s account in just the second minute after a melee inside the box saw her end up with some space from close range and she got her shot to the back of the net. This goal opened the f loodgates, as Manisha scored another (25’), while Devneta also netted twice (9’ and 25’). Daya Devi got into the act, scoring in the 27th minute. Meanwhile, Pakistan goalkeeper Eman Fayyaz scored an own goal, to round off a marvellous first 30 minutes for India. Papki Devi and captain Jabamani Tudu also scored two in injury time of the first half, to make it 9-0 at halftime. India went on to score exactly the same number of goals in the second half of the opener as well.
The Indian girls picked up the second half right where they left off, as Manisha and Daya Devi scored two more goals soon after the kickoff. Renu, who was brought on in the second half, responded with utmost brilliance scoring five past Eman Fayyaz. Her supreme form meant that coach Alex Ambrose decided to push Devneta Roy back into the hole while Renu led the line. Roja Devi (59’) Soumyta Guguloth (77’) scored the other two goals, to make it 18-0 for India. “It was a great result for us. This kind of a win gives a lot of boost to our girls, and hopefully, we can go ahead and do better in the next game as well,” India head coach Alex Ambrose said after the match.
