Claims of rival NPF ‘joke of the year’, says Kenye Correspondent

KOHIMA, OCT 25 (NPN): Rajya Sabha MP and secretary general of NPF (Dr. Shürho) K.G. Kenye has termed the statement of chief minister T.R. Zeliang, who claimed that both he (CM) and Neiphiu Rio would retain the NPF ‘Cock’ symbol, as the “joke of the year”. Kenye said this while addressing NPF party workers currently on the third day of their ongoing dharna against the NLA Speaker Dr. Imtiwapang Aier outside the civil secretariat (for not taking cognisance of their petition for disqualification of 36 NPF MLAs (T.R. Zeliang- N. Rio group) etc. Kenye cited the rival group which questioned the ECI order on October 17 and passing a set of resolutions in Kohima on October 24 by which the ECI’s order was twisted and also seeking to disqualify the nine MLAs under Dr. Shürho on constitutionally untenable ground. Kenye pointed out that despite the rival group’s claims and also having convened their ‘general convention’ (on September 20 in Dimapur), the ECI still insisted that NPF (Dr. Shurho) convene its general convention within two months to resolve the internal crisis as was done in the 2015 general convention. He also referred to the general convention organised by the rivals at the DDSC stadium where the stadium has a sitting capacity of maximum 23,000 on the ground (without gallery). Yitachu said that by exaggerating the figure

to 36,617, the rivals had attempted to give an inflated impression. Further, Kenye pointed out that the word “reconciliation” was never mentioned in the ECI’s October 17 order and therefore the rivals had not authority to call NPF (Shürho) to reconcile with them. He said it was upto the NPF general convention (scheduled by November end) whether or not to pursue any rapprochement with the rebels. On the appointment of whip, Kenye reiterated that it was the prerogative of the party to appoint a whip to ensure that the elected members of the party do not sway with other political parties. In this regard, he said after the demise of the chief whip, Kiyanilie Peseyie, the party appointed Yitachu, MLA as the chief whip of the party, adding “this appointment will stand in any court of law.” On the issue which the NPF youth wing has taken up in agitating against the NLA speaker, Kenye said it was based on violation of laid down rules in the constitution and therefore, it ought to be settled at the earliest. He asked the NLA speaker to act on their petition and act as per the law without further delay. NPF spokesperson Yitachu also spoke at the venue where he said the rival group had passed the October 24 resolutions out of frustration and apprehension. Instead, Yitachu took a jibe in asking the rival group to join the protest against the speaker if they were so confident of getting the ‘Cock’ symbol.

IMPHAL, Oct 25: Five leaders of the striking Manipur Government Services Federation (MGSF) were Wednesday detained by the police, who were taking part in the mass casual leave, demanding implementation of 7th Pay Commission’s recommendations. A highly reliable source said that Imphal West district police picked the five leaders including publicity secretary Iboyaima at around 4.30 p.m. Other detained leaders were Indubala Devi, Shyamkumar, Doren and Jugeshwor. To protest against the state government’s failure to implement the 7th Pay,

employees of state government affiliated to the MGSF took mass casual leave. A day ahead of proposed mass casual leave stir, Manipur chief secretary has appealed to the MGSF to reconsider its decision asserting that government was working sincerely to implement the demand of the employees. However, MGSF went ahead with their scheduled stir. Except high ranking officers, staffs in most of the sections of the state civil administration abstained from discharging from their duties. Thin attendance was witnessed in almost all the government offices in Imphal.

In some offices, staffs attended the office but no work for the day. Meanwhile, MGSF decided to postpone its proposed cease work strike from November 2 after a thorough discussion on the assurance given by the chief secretary, who is also the chairman of government constituted Fitment Committee looking into the demand of the employees. In a letter written to the chief secretary, MGSF general secretary Purujit Lairikyengbam said that the decision to postpone the cease work strike was taken consequent upon the observation of Advisory Committee of the federation and on the appeal made by the chief secretary.

Admitting that that there had been heavy downpours in the last few days, the Bench said, “Indisputably, the bad part of the highway in question... has remained in a very bad shape for last more than a couple of years and it could hardly be appreciated that National Highway Authority of India had not taken appropriate steps to provide motorable conditions.”

In any constituency where we feel that is not indicative of the sitting MLA then the party will decide otherwise,” the Chief Minister said. Echoing Sangma, Congress general secretary incharge of Meghalaya, C.P. Joshi described the desertion of the Congress legislators to join other political parties is not a “new trend”. “It is nothing new since this kind of thing takes in every election where MLAs who have personal ambition decides to change side. Even in the past, there are MLAs who left the party before the elections,” Joshi said. Joshi also voiced confident that his party would retain power in Meghalaya after the 2018 elections.

Shillong, Oct 25: Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma on Wednesday vowed that the Congress party would ensure that his former party legislatorsturned foe will be defeated in next year assembly election. “We have collected inputs about them. Electoral battle is not a battle which is so easy, so simple. I have always referred these MLAs who deserted the party as turn coats. They have left the party because they have an agenda which is selfcentric,” he told journalists after the reviewing the Congress preparedness for the assembly polls. Congress general secretary in charge of Meghalaya, C.P. Joshi and senior Congress leaders from the state were present at the meeting. At least five sitting Congress legislators – Rowell Lyngdoh, Prestone Tynsong, P.N.Syiem, Sniawbhalang Dhar and Ngaitlang Dhar – did not apply for the Congress ticket. Apart from Syiem, who is believed to have floated a new political outfit, the People’s Democratic Front, the others are hobnobbing with the opposition National People’s Party. However, Sangma said that the Congress had already nurtured alternative candidates who are strong to contest against these “turncoats” in the upcoming 2018 assembly elections. “There have been situ-

Delhi-NCR air quality worsens as stubble burning peaks

Authorities in Delhi has advised the use of masks after air quality has worsened in and around the city. New Delhi, Oct 25 (IANS): Despite warnings from a green court and environmental authorities, stubble-burning in Punjab and Haryana reached unprecedented levels to further deteriorate the air quality in the Delhi-National Capital Region on Wednesday. Dry and cold northwesterly winds blowing from Punjab and Haryana at speeds of 10-15 km per hour, according to weather analysts, will continue for the next few days, further worsening the air quality in Delhi-NCR. According to the System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR), nine of the 10 monitoring stations across Delhi recorded “very poor” air quality,

with PM2.5 (particles with diameter less than 2.5 mm) ranging between 313-366 units. The international permissible limit for PM2.5 is 25 microgram per cubic metre while for India, it is 60. For PM10, the permissible limit is 100. In Delhi, Noida, and Gurugram, air quality deteriorated in the past 24 hours, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) recorded at ‘verypoor’. The index value was 344 in Delhi, 363 in Noida, and 318 in Gurugram. On Tuesday, the AQI at these three places was 309, 315, and 345 respectively. On Wednesday, air quality at Ghaziabad (NCR) was worse than post-Diwali (recorded on October 20) level, and was described as

severe by the Central Pollution Control Board. The AQI in Ghaziabad was 425 on Wednesday, as compared with 412 on October 20. Meanwhile, satellite images from the National Aeronautics and Space Administrations’ FIRMS (Fire Information for Resource Management System) Web Fire Mapper show stubbleburning reached an all-time high with both Punjab and Haryana marked in red (depicting fire). Stubble-burning was part of the pollution control agenda of the Environment Pollution (Prevention and Control) Authority (EPCA), which a day before Diwali (October 19) implemented “very poor” and “severe” categories of its Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP)

-- which includes more strict measures -- to curb air pollution in Delhi and adjoining areas. “It (stubble-burning) was an action point, but nothing much was done against stubble- burning as the National Green Tribunal (NGT) is already involved,” EPCA member Usmaan Naseem told IANS. According to EPCA officials, state authorities (Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh) are supposed to keep a check on stubble-burning, as toxic smoke from such an action, along with weather conditions and wind speeds, impacts air quality in DelhiNCR. The unabated stubble-burning in Punjab and Haryana, estimated to be around 35 million tonnes, was banned by the tribunal in November 2015. However, due to lack of support from the respective governments, farmers continued to burn paddy straw even as states demanded more funds from the Centre to support their farmers against the menace. “Air pollution is set to increase. People will complain of heaviness in breathing towards morning and evening hours. The north-westerly winds from Punjab and Haryana are slowing down in Delhi, and this will continue for some days,” Mahesh Palawat, Director of private weather forecast agency Skymet, told IANS.

Rlys decentralize powers to carry out safety work

Piyush Goyal New Delhi, Oct 25 (IANS): Railway Minister Piyush Goyal on Wednesday announced a series of steps in the Railways, including decentralization of power, to carry out safety related work.

Divisional Railway Managers (DRMs) and Chief Workshop Managers can now re-engage retired railway employees up to 62 years against vacancies. “This will take care of safety and maintenance related work wherever there are vacancies,” Goyal said. Enhanced powers for repair of Track Machines have been given to the field officers for faster track safety work. The minister said procedures had been substantially simplified for procurement of material like spare parts for locomotives and coaches.

We didn’t prepare President’s speech, says Karnataka CM Bengaluru, Oct 25 (IANS): After BJP MLAs alleged that the ruling Congress “forced” President Ram Nath Kovind to praise Tipu Sultan, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said on Wednesday that his speech was not prepared by the state government. “We have not prepared the President’s speech. We have not even sent any note to the Rashtrapati Bhavan,” he said in a statement. After the President referred to Tipu Sultan as a “pioneer” in the development of Mysore rockets (iron-casted rockets for military use) and that he died a “historic death” fighting the British, Karnataka BJP lead-

Syed Salahuddin’s son admits receiving funds: NIA NEW DELHI, Oct 25 (AGENCIES): The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday claimed Syed Shahid Yousuf, son of globally-wanted terrorist and Hizbul Mujahideen chief Syed Salahuddin, had admitted he received funds for subversive activities in the Kashmir Valley. Yousuf, who was sent to seven days of custody to the agency for further questioning, had also given the names of overseas Hizbul Mujahideen members involved in fund-raising for the terror outfit, an NIA spokesman said. The 42-year-old Yousuf, who works in the agricultural department of the Jammu and Kashmir government, was arrested on Tuesday. The NIA claimed during questioning he “admitted to having received funds from cadres of the Hizbul Mujahideen on the direction of his father, Mohammed Yusuf Shah alias Syed Salahuddin, for fomenting terrorist activities in the Valley”. The NIA said he also “revealed the names of his associates

Kolkata, Oct 25 (AGENCIES): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday strongly opposed the Central government’s move to link mobile number to Aadhaar. “We will not link mobile with Aadhaar. If we do not have a mobile connection for that, so be it. I challenge that I will not provide my Aadhaar number even if my connection is stopped. I don’t care.” The Chief Minister said linking of Aadhaar with mobile number was a breach of right of privacy and the BJP government was trying to intrude into people’s personal life and curb their freedom. “This means even a private conversation between a husband and a wife is going to be tapped,” she said, raising questions on what the Centre plans to do next with these information. The Department of Telecommunications earlier this year had

It alleged Yousuf used to receive funds through a US- based international wire transfer company from Aijaz Ahmed Bhat, another accused in the case who is absconding and is based in Saudi Arabia. The agency alleged Yousuf was “one of several Indian contacts of Bhat” who had been in telephonic contact with him for receiving money transfer codes.

Difficult life

rices of every item in the market has been witnessing steady rise, making essential commodities beyond reach of the lower section of society, especially those whose earnings are lesser than Rs.10,000 a month while those earning lesser have to live with the constant fear of having to miss one meal if prices continue to escalate. For such a scenario, the state government has the Fairs Price items supposed to be meant for those living Below Poverty Line (BPL). However, even this little measure of great help is snatched by corrupt politicians, bureaucrats and middlemen in cahoots with offenders who have made a killing out of muscling in on the distribution of FPS items. Whether prices are shooting up due to the GST or due to the perpetual forcible collection of taxes; no one is sure, least of all authorities who have been grappling with the problem. The common man is the worst suffer because all he gets from both the politicians and government is lip service. The market system is under the grip of syndicates and traders. They collect ‘tax’ supposed to be passed on to various factions but apparently, not all that has been collected is handed over. The common man (and woman) who has to pay high prices will continue to suffer because no one is interested in protecting his rights and ensuring he gets what is due. This is a grim scenario but it reveals the economic plight that continues to confront thousands of families in Nagaland while they grapple with day to day conditions. Government servants may or may not be hit hard; mainly because they are getting fat salaries which get fatter every ten years. Despite the pronouncements of the government offering all kinds of ‘incentives’ (that ultimately go to near and dear ones) thousands of those involved in small trade and enterprises; be it the few Nagas and majority nonNagas, they are gradually being suffocated by the weakening economy and also taxes imposed by all and sundry. Based on a rough study some time back, this newspaper found that prices of commodities such as vegetables were spiraling up. Interestingly, vegetables grown locally were sold for three times the price sold by the farmers. The vegetables are bought by wholesalers who then charge double the price from retailers. In turn, retailers add their profit and sell the items to the consumers who eventually pay thrice the amount. The fluctuations in prices of vegetables cannot be so wide as to be as high as cent percent though it is expected that there could be some slight differences. When prices of commodities in Dimapur rise, they have a cascading and multiply effect on the prices in other districts. It is undeniable that lack of economic avenues and also the rising cost of living is contributing to rise in anti-social activities. The authorities have to take a serious view on this issue and ascertain whether there exists a syndicate that manipulates market prices and promotes black marketing and profiteering. The challenge is whether the state government can open a kind of local cooperative market to ensure that unscrupulous traders don’t play around with their money to manipulate the market.

DailyDevotion Submitting to God’s Purpose

I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. —1 Corinthians 9:22 A Christian worker has to learn how to be God’s man or woman of great worth and excellence in the midst of a multitude of meager and worthless things. Never protest by saying, “If only I were somewhere else!” All of God’s people are ordinary people who have been made extraordinary by the purpose He has given them. Unless we have the right purpose intellectually in our minds and lovingly in our hearts, we will very quickly be diverted from being useful to God. We are not workers for God by choice. Many people deliberately choose to be workers, but they have no purpose of God’s almighty grace or His mighty Word in them. Paul’s whole heart, mind, and soul were consumed with the great purpose of what Jesus Christ came to do, and he never lost sight of that one thing. We must continually confront ourselves with one central fact— “…Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:2). “I chose you…” (John 15:16). Keep these words as a wonderful reminder in your theology. It is not that you have gotten God, but that He has gotten you. God is at work bending, breaking, molding, and doing exactly as He chooses. And why is He doing it? He is doing it for only one purpose— that He may be able to say, “This is My man, and this is My woman.” We have to be in God’s hand so that He can place others on the Rock, Jesus Christ, just as He has placed us. Never choose to be a worker, but once God has placed His call upon you, woe be to you if you “turn aside…to the right or the left…” (Deuteronomy 28:14). He will do with you what He never did before His call came to you, and He will do with you what He is not doing with other people. Let Him have His way.

Post-mortem

Our pathetic roads M M

NPF M&PB on issue of cock symbol

a n y ye a r s h ave passed, much has been discussed and debated on the deplorable road conditions. So far have we travelled without achieving much and with more to suffer and worry about. Our roads are still bumpy and pathetic. It makes no indication of getting better, and to talk about it, one can only imagine the terribleness. For so many years, to provide good roads has been the sweet talks of the Government but never did we see good roads. For this reason, we will find out in many social media sites the anger, frustration, and depression of the public, especially youths. Being tired like anybody else, this thought keeps disturbing my mind as to how there cannot be good roads in Nagaland. Allow me to share my perspectives on the menace of roads in Nagaland. To differentiate a good road and a bad road is as tuff as differentiating a true politician and an untrue politician in Nagaland. Talking about bad roads, the roads in Kohima should not be ignored, the so called capital of Nagaland. If you are a resident of Kohima or pass by, you will know and get to know it better. The roads in Kohima are simply unique that once we get inside the Vehicle and start moving, our body starts to shake and dance. It tortures us not only physically but mentally as well. But that’s quite natural to say for normal being like us, the conditions of those sick people, pregnant women, heart patients and the like would be worst with no other alternatives. Again, it’s not even safe to walk by the roadside (footpath) because of the dusts created by Vehicles, and more miserably Vehicles splash dirty water all over our clothes during rainy seasons, which is so much annoying. Thus, it becomes unsafe to travel both by foot and Vehicle. With this situation in Kohima, shall we build a Smart City or

a Dystopian City? While we complain of bad roads here, there are roads in some parts of Nagaland where only Shaktiman trucks can pass through and more so, there are no roads at all in some parts. Incredible Nagaland! Is’nt it? Our roads have helplessly become pathetic. It is not cookable nor burnable. It only finds its place in the dustbin at the end. Thus, it should be said that Nagaland is not only known for its rich culture and tradition but also known for its bad roads. Pardon me if that sounds disgraceful. Nagaland roads are not even half as compared to the roads in our nearest states despite receiving maximum of funds from Centre. This makes us unique from the rest. Good cars alone will not do, we need good roads. Now, imagine the dangers resulting from those pathetic roads. Many accidents are also due to those roads yet we act like we don’t care. Mushrooming of potholes can also cause danger to two wheelers and light Vehicles. There are also cases in villages and other rural areas where patients die on their way to hospital due to bad roads. Such cases are not rare even in towns. While we are busy fighting for money and power, our roads are turning from bad to worst. It’s been 53 years since its formal inauguration and soon going to be 54 years. How longer will it take for Nagaland to have good roads? If those many years isn’t enough, our dream of having good roads will only end up in dream itself and not in reality. Don’t let the next generation curse us. God forbid. Lately, talks were going on much on road connectivity and good roads which are good signs. But if truth be told from the depth of my heart, I’m quite doubtful if it was just because election is knocking at the door. I’m saying this because this usu-

ally happens in Nagaland at the eve of elections. Speaking one thing and doing the other is never a character of a good leader. Let it be not only talks but walks as well. Being a student, I’m disheartened to even dream of good roads when the Government cannot even provide our rightful scholarships at the right time with the rightful amount. And it is ironical when they talk about development. You greedy minds (politicians, bureaucrats, Contractors,etc.),become more realistic and don’t just build castles in the air. The roads are in a pathetic state. Why was the situation allowed to deteriorate so much? We talk of tourism potential in Nagaland but do we know that tourism will expand more when we have better roads? Not only does it expands tourism but it will subsequently open up ample of opportunities to economic growth. We all know that very well, if not we can even learn from our nearest states. Hence, considering all the aforementioned, I want to appeal to all right thinking citizens of Nagaland to wake up from the deep slumber and start acting to rebuild our state, keeping in mind that we all have a share of responsibilities in the making of our state. If not now when? Albert Einstein has rightly said, ‘The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.’ So too is our case. Shall we still keep quiet? To all the politicians and leaders, I’m writing today as a student and as a youth myself, if your concern is our future, prove it so and allow us to continue our journey smoothly without much to worry about. We are tired and we feel insecure seeing the happenings of today. So, if not other developments, at least good roads be provided first and foremost. Divito Vese, St. Joseph’s College Jakhama

r TR Zeliang, who heads an unconstitutional Government, made a wishful statement when he said the Cock symbol of the Naga People’s Front would be theirs. But this is just an attempt to fool and confuse the public because if he was so confident of getting the symbol Cock, he would not have been hobnobbing with the Nationalist People’s Party, nor would Neiphiu Rio burn the midnight oil to get his Party Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party registered with the Election Commission of India. The general public can clearly see through their bluff and it is an open secret that their brief honeymoon shall come to an end in a matter of weeks as both of them head towards their respective political parties. But in the meantime, one should not think too harshly of their ridiculous statements since they are under immense pressure to keep their flock together, and they are compelled to make fantastic statements to convince their followers as well as themselves. Mr Zeliang asked what type of majority we are going to prove to the ECI since they, Zeliang and cohorts, have already had their General Convention. For his as well as for the consumption of the public, few facts need to be pointed out. 1. In its order dated October 17, 2017, the ECI stated that as “ per the list of office bearers submitted by the Party [NPF] in 2015, Dr Shurhozelie Liezietsu was shown as the President of the party, and Shri Apong Pongener as the Working President.” This makes it obvious that as far as the ECI is concerned, and as per the records available with the Commission, Dr Shurhozelie Liezietsu is the President of the Naga People’s Front. 2. The ECI, is the aforementioned Order, clearly stated that the present crisis had arisen “out of an application dated 17.08.2017 filed by Sh. Neiphiu Rio, claiming himself as the President of the NPF.” It is evident that Rio is staking claim to something without the backing of legality, and the Commission, in its wisdom, has acknowledged this claim and has referred the matter back to the party.

If it had found any legality in Rio’s claim, it would have settled the matter then and there. But it has not. 3. The Commission also said that when “a similar dispute arose within the party in 2015 with rival claims between two factions and attendant expulsions and suspension, the Commission vide its order dated 27.03.2015 directed the two factions to follow the abovementioned provisions in Article XV of the Party Constitution to resolve the dispute with the decision of active members of the party as laid down therein.” The Commission went on to direct the two groups to exhaust specific mechanism provided in the Constitution and to settle the dispute internally by way of calling for a General Convention and let active members decide the matter. Human memory is not too short as to remember that in 2015, Dr Shurhozelie summoned an Emergent General Convention on April 30 and the rest is history. Now, if the much-hyped socalled General Convention of September 20, 2017 held at Dimapur by the claimants were to have any legality or authority, the attention of the Commission would have been drawn to it and mention would have made of it in its Order dated October 17, 2017. But not even a whiff of mention of that gathering was made in the said order which goes to vindicate our stand that the September 20get-together at Dimapur was unauthorized, illegal and unconstitutional, and that expelled and suspended members of a political party are not competent enough to summon a General Convention of that political party. As to Zeliang’s query as to what “type of General Convention will Dr Shurhozelie and his group convene again”, we would like to remind him that the November 22, 2017 General Convention called by Dr Shurhozelie would be something like that of April 30, 2015 General Convention where only active members enrolled prior to the dispute would be allowed to attend but expelled members like Mr Zeliang and cohorts would not be allowed to participate as per provisions of the party Constitution.

How many more for the Dhansiri?

T

(Lessons we never learn)

he recent drowning of a young school boy in the waters of the Dhansiri river was a very sad episode and tragic event for all of us. It would be hard to express the sadness of the parents and the relatives which cannot be fathomed or comprehended in words. Anyone of us would feel our heart wrenching or chills shivering down our spines to experience such kind of pain and heartbreak happening to us if such kind of misfortune struck our children. I can only imagine how the family of the young boy would have gone through the ordeal of all those hours of searching for the mortal remains in the watery grave. Such incidents of young boys getting drowned in the Dhansiri and other surrounding rivers are frequent especially during the summer. It is not the first and probably won’t be the last too. Until and unless we take some preventive and corrective measures, this kind of watery grave incidents happening around the natural water bodies will go on. Today it may be happening in someone’s family and someone’s child but tomorrowit may happen to us. Parents, no matter how watchful or cautious they are of their children’s movements, cannot keep their eyes on them the full 24x7x365. A little busy or hectic schedule and stolen unguarded moments may prove costly which will leave a scar for a lifetime. Tragedy mostly comes unexpectedly and unanticipated. Though life and death is a matter of destiny which

ultimately rests in God the Almighty’s hands, yet there is something we as a society should also learn from theses tragic mishaps. Our leaders should also learn a lesson from this and try to minimize such kind of tragic happenings every year where many young school boys get drowned in our surrounding rivers. With lots of risks involved in those natural openings, most of the children have no other option but the urge of a refreshing dip in the water seems to be very tempting which sadly becomes their tragic end in these unfavourable settings. Swimming in natural water bodies have higher risks of drowning and can be prevented by opening swimming schools and pools. Moving water and unpredictable currents can overwhelm even strong and expert swimmers. Drowning incidents of course will happen and can never be fully brought to an end but atleast it can be somehow minimized to some extent. Accidents happen, and it is certainly not possible to ensure that drowning incidents don’t occur. Any young adolescent wants to try out new sort of adventures in the form of games and sports besides other pursuits. Swimming remains one interesting, challenging and a very thrilling quest for many people especially the younger lot. Even our other neighbouring states like Mizoram, Manipur or Meghalaya have lots of facilities and proper infrastructure for nurturing young budding talents and

also for recreational activities. They have good and safe swimming pools where instructors, life-guards and watchmen keep a close vigil on young underage swimmers or people of all age. But here in Nagaland, we have only some untamed, wild and unpredictable rivers where young lives are put on a very high risk while pursuing out some fun in the form of swimming out with friends during an age of peer pressure and in those pursuits and curiously exploring new horizons often end up tragically. The one public swimming pool that was supposed to be built at the Dimapur Club premises is now lying half –done for almost a decade. The contractors, department concerned and the people involved will be the best to know why it is left in that condition for such a long time. Thanks to the complacent and our easy going attitude of who cares, who bothers and who gives a damn as long as it doesn’t affect us? For the children like us who were born during the 70s and the 80s, we were the luckier lot because we swam around all those murky and muddy pools and ponds around the Dimapur town inspite of our parents’ thrashings and countless beatings for doing so. And yet we survived. We owe thanks to God for bringing us till today. Owning a swimming pool is costly and not everyone can afford it except some very few creamy layers of the high society. But atleast we should have a public pool by now owned and maintained by municipal authorities where

proper standards and norms are put into practice. Swimming pools aren’t just for fun but they are good for health too. Swimming has always been a fun activity for everybody. It’s a great socializer for all age groups from college students to the elderly to infants to high schoolers. Almost anyone finds joy in jumping into a cool pool on a hot summer day. But forget about a public swimming pool, even today we cannot boast of a public park where we can walk around in the morning or evening freely and contentedly. Most have to be satisfied despite being inundated by tons of dust choking us from the speeding cars and trucks on a dry day or getting splashed by muddy waters of countless potholes all over the pathetic roads on some wet day. You try walking on the footpath and you’re risking yourself where your feet will end up in the one of many cracks and gaping holes of the slabs and drain covers .Poor us, indeed. To prevent these types of frequent drowning, recreation centres with swimming pools with trained lifeguards should be introduced. It is sad that we don’t have any swimming pools to teach our young kids the art of swimming here in the towns. Village kids, being brought up in a harder and tougher environment learn these skills by their sheer way of adapting to their surroundings in a rough and the tough way of life. Besides the lack of swimming ability or skills the other main causes that leads to drowning deaths

seems to be from lack of close supervision, lack of barriers and absence of life-jackets especially among the new enthusiastic young swimmers. When we don’t have any facility to teach the art of swimming or better their swimming skills, their drowning in the wild open untamed rivers cannot be attributed to children alone .In an open survey in America it was found that maximum of drowning accidents happen in natural settings like lakes, rivers or ocean rather than in swimming pools. Besides swimming lessons isn’t only for kids but even

for seniors of all ages during emergencies. As I write this, a friend of mine narrated me an incident where another boy was drowned towards the Dillai gate side while swimming at a recently formed water body, dug-up by some JCB excavators. The Woods at Mokokchung and the Niathu Resorts at Dimapur are fine examples which should be emulated so as to minimize future tragedies. Only that it should be accessible for all class of people with proper safety measures imposed. Jonah Achumi

More security in the streets

Sir,

Reading in the papers about murder, rape, kidnapping and extortion has become daily manna for Naga society. It is so unfortunate that such kinds of unheard of atrocities in our society have become an everyday affair. In addition to all sorts of corruption and mismanagement in governance, the public safety has become neglible. People are no longer safe to step out of their houses even to go shopping as law and order seem to be at a standstill. The recent murder of a Lotha woman by a Manipuri is a glaring example of how unsafe people are even in broad daylight. God forbid that such a situation should be allowed to continue in our streets which have become murder zones. As for the culprit, law must exact the appropriate punishment so that such gory, unfortunate incidents donot repeat themselves. At the same time, Naga society need a total change in mindset and shy away from greed, lascivious style of living as such examples are not good for young Nagas. We need to revert back to more simplicity and more spiritualism in our approach to living. Children need to be taught that violence is not the answer for begetting a better society. At the same time, those guardians and law and order need to spruce up their patrolling in the streets to prevent any mischief from igniting into murder etc. Hitoli Ayemi, Duncan Basti Dimapur

National/state

Chief election commissioner AK Joti, flanked by election commissioners Sunil Arora and OP Rawat (left), announces the schedule for the Gujarat assembly elections,in New Delhi.

Ahmedabad, OCT 25 (AGENCIES): The process of selecting candidates for the upcoming Gujarat elections gathered steam in the BJP and Congress camps, after the Election Commission announced the polling dates on Wednesday. While the BJP is holding a six-day state-level parliamentary board meeting that will conclude on Thursday, senior Congress leaders have left for Delhi to prepare the list of candidates. The mood in the two camps, however, painted a contrasting picture. While it is just a matter of time before the Congress announces the re-candidacy of its 43 sitting MLAs, the BJP – which has the spectre of anti-incumbency looming over it – seems

more likely to introduce new faces. The fate of 44 Patidar MLAs in the BJP camp is particularly precarious at a time when their community is up in arms against the party leadership over non-fulfilment of its demand for OBC status. Chief minister Vijay Rupani had already dropped several Patidar heavyweights – including Saurabh Patel and Rajnikant Patel – while forming his cabinet in August 2016. The BJP, which lost the 2015 rural local body elections in the backdrop of the Patidar agitation, was unhappy that its 44 MLAs from the community not only failed to gauge the scale of the agitation but also fell woefully short in containing it. While senior leaders like deputy chief

minister Nitin Patel are unlikely to be dropped, things will definitely get tough for them. The party is likely to project former aides of Patidar quota stir leader Hardik Patel – including Varun Patel and Reshma Patel (who recently joined the BJP) – as the new faces of the community. Similarly, Dalit leader Ramanlal Vora was removed from the cabinet and appointed as the assembly speaker in the wake of four Dalit youths being flogged by cow vigilantes in Una. “The parliamentary board meetings will end on Thursday. Panels will come up with a list of probables for each seat in the next stage, following which the final list will be announced from Delhi,” said Rupani. OBC leader Alpesh Thakor and some of his team members are likely to emerge as the new faces from the Congress camp. They were formally inducted into the party earlier this week. “The selection of candidates for the Congress will be done on merit. Besides, the party has affirmed that it is going to repeat all its 43 sitting MLAs,” said Arjun Modhwadia, a senior party leader.

Naveen showers sops before Bijepur bypoll Bhubaneshwar, Oct 25 (AGENCIES): The Naveen Patnaik government announced a drought package for farmers and promised to make Bijepur a municipality, ahead of a high-voltage bypoll in this western Odisha constituency. The bypoll was necessitated by the death of Congress legislator Subal Sahu, whose wife Rita will be the ruling Biju Janata Dal’s (BJD) candidate. The Election Commission has yet to announce the dates but Bijepur is turning out to be a prestige fight between the BJD and BJP, which has done well in this summer’s panchayat polls in the region adjoining partyruled Chhattisgarh. The government announced a drought package for 70 blocks, including Bijepur, for crop loss because

of a poor monsoon. Agriculture subsidy will be given at Rs 6,800 a hectare in non-irrigated areas and Rs 13,500 in areas having irrigation to small and marginal farmers who lost 33% and above of their crops. Drought-hit farmers will get 50% remission on land revenue, while tuition and examination fees in government and aided schools and colleges are waived off. The government had also announced a Rs1,246crore lift irrigation project named after poet Gangadhar Meher for Bijepur. Located at a higher elevation, Bijepur is droughtprone as water flowing through canals from the Mahanadi doesn’t reach the region. In addition to these packages, it was announced that Bijepur will be given the status of a notified area council and a sub-registrar’s

office for registration of land documents will be set up too. BJP leader Prithiviraj Harichandan called these announcements “nothing more than empty promises with no budgetary provisions”. The party hopes to consolidate its position after the good show in the rural polls. But the BJD is confidant of stopping its resurgent and aggressive rival. Party’s Rajya Sabha MP Prasanna Acharya said the BJP “should stop daydreaming over Bijepur”. The BJP has drafted in BJD rebel leader Ashok Panigrahy and plans a highvoltage campaign, led by Union petroleum minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Ministers from neighbouring Chhattisgarh are expected to lend heft to the party’s campaign.

Survey on for ropeway in Kedarnath, U’khand tells NGT New Delhi, Oct 25 (IANS): To curb ecological degradation of Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary due to helicopter service for the pilgrimage, the Uttarakhand government on Wednesday informed the National Green Tribunal (NGT) that it has started ground survey for construction of a ropeway. The Tribunal, in September, suspended the helicopter services that aid the pilgrimage but fly over the wildlife sanctuary and thus impact the ecology of the region. The state government has filed the affidavit after the NGT sought clarification from the state over its stand on the report by the Wildlife Institute of India (WII), saying helicopters in the Kedarnath Valley were flying at an altitude as low as 150 metres, thus increasing noise levels to 70-80 decibels. The permissible levels is 50 decibels during day, essential for a protected and ecologically sensitive area like the Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary. The state government told the NGT that the Tourism Ministry is conducting a “ground survey” for the purpose of construction of the ropeway and the “report will be submitted to the Tribunal soon”. The Tribunal earlier issued notice to the state government following a petition from NGO Doaba Paryavaran Samiti, that pointed out that unregulated and low flying of helicopter over Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary impacts the wildlife there.

(From p-1) Taking on the stand of the rival group which on October 24 resolved to seek disqualification of the nine MLAs (with Dr. Shürho), Yitachu pointed out that on July 19, 2017 there was no voting in the assembly since there was no motion for or against being tabled. Therefore, he said the rival demand for disqualification of the nine MLAs had no legitimacy or any basis. He urged the party workers not to be confused nor with such a “foolish resolutions”. He also took a swipe at the joint statement issued by chief minister T.R. Zeliang and Lok Sabha MP (and NPF president) Neiphiu Rio which concluded with declaration that the resolution (October 24) was made “with sound mind and without any duress...”. Yitachu said the wording revealed that those rival members were threatened and made to accept the resolution under duress. He said no political party passes any such resolution. On the allegation that the nine MLAs had threatened to impeach NLA speaker, Yitachu reminded that they were well aware of the procedures on impeaching the speaker. Yitachu also reminded the NLA speaker that he

can only exercise powers as per the law and not on his own and if he cannot handle whip. R. Tohanba, MLA also cautioned the speaker that he cannot escape responsibility by keeping the cases pending as he will have to dispose off the matter sooner or later, in whosever favour it may be. He also asked what was stopping the Speaker from disqualifying the 10 MLAs who had voted against Zeliang’s whip? He further alleged that the consultative meeting and general convention of the dissidents was a purchased event.

NPF youth wing to continue dharna

NPF central youth wing on Wednesday informed that the sit-in dharna would continue indefinitely “until and unless the NLA speaker passes appropriate orders as per the rules.” In a press note, NPF central youth wing said it had also submitted a representation to the NLA speaker on Wednesday informing the latter that the youth wing was compelled to stage the dharna to register its protest against the “illegality committed by speaker’s office.” The youth wing also alleged that the speaker’s

o f f i c e h a d f r e q u e n t ly abused the constitution of India and rules framed by the Nagaland Legislative Assembly. The youth wing stated that they were not convinced by the speaker’s justification, saying the response was just “beating round the bush to confuse the general public”. The youth wing said, if the opinion of the speaker was that the demise of the petitioner (late Kiyanilie Peseyie) had rendered the proceeding infructuous in legal parlance, then he (speaker) should have passed appropriate orders to this effect, under the laid down rules as prescribed in the members of the NLA (disqualification on the ground of defection) rules 2003. On speaker’s justification that Kuzholuzo Nienu’s appointment as leader of NPF legislature party was under review, the youth wing said it was just a vague excuse. There was no mention about when and from whom did the speaker seek legal opinion and also the time to furnish the reply was not mentioned, the youth wing stated. Since the speaker’s office was deliberately delaying the matter and did not consider the interest of the state, the youth wing would continue to protest, it said.

Aadhaar–mobile number linking to become simpler New Delhi, Oct 25 (AGENCIES): Government has initiated measures, including re-verification at subscribers’ doorstep and OTP-based authentication of existing users. The process of reverifying existing mobile subscribers using Aadhaar is set to become simpler and more convenient, according to an official source. The government has initiated a series of measures, including allowing re-verification at subscribers’ doorstep and One Time Password–based authentication of existing users, to make the entire exercise easier for telecom subscribers. Telecom operators have been directed to offer the facility at the subscriber’s doorstep for the convenience of those with

disablity, illness or old age, the source familiar with the development told PTI. Operators have been asked to put in place an online mechanism (through website, and other means) for people to request for such service. It has also enabled Aadhaar OTP-based authentication for re-verification of existing mobile users. Telecom service-providers have been instructed to initiate a scheme to use OTP-based re-verification of mobile subscribers using SMS or IVRS or on their mobile app. “This means that if one mobile number is registered in the Aadhaar database, then the OTP method can be used for reverification of that number as well as other mobile numbers owned by the subscriber,” the source

pointed out. Nearly 50 crore mobile numbers are already registered in the Aadhaar database, and the OTP can be leveraged for re-verification in all of these cases, the source added. In case of agent-assisted biometric authentication for SIM re-verification or issuance, telcos have been asked to ensure that full e-KYC details of subscribers are not made visible to the agent. Nor should data be stored on the agent’s device, the source added. In the current dispensation, e-KYC data of the subscriber, including photographs, are visible to the agent of the telecom operator. The slew of measures being undertaken are aimed at improving ease of re-verification and its success rate, the official

added. The source pointed out that some residents, especially senior citizens, found it difficult to verify their identity using fingerprint-based Aadhaar authentication. Also, there were cases where residents — those bed-ridden, ill or physically challenged — were unable to visit the service points of telecom service-providers. Telecom operators have also been directed to deploy iris devices at an “appropriate number of service points” so subscribers have access to iris authentication “within a reasonable geographical distance”. This will be useful for people who face problems with fingerprint authentication, owing to poor fingerprint quality, disability or old age, the source explained.

to healthy firms and borrowers, creating a virtuous cycle of investment and job creation. The Government of India’s decisive package to restore the health of the Indian banking system is in the view of the Reserve Bank of India, a monumental step forward in safeguarding the country’s economic future,” he said.

who issues it. The interest burden on the government for issuing recapitalisation bond would be about Rs 8,000-9,000 crore, according to Chief Economic Advisor Arvind Subramanian. Patel said these bonds would involve participation of private shareholders of PSU banks by requiring that parts of the capital needs be met by market funding. “Last but not the least, it will allow for a calibrated approach whereby banks that have better addressed their balance-sheet issues and are in a position to use fresh capital injection for immediate credit creation can be given priority while others shape up to be in a similar position,” he said. The issuance of bonds would provide for a good way of bringing some market discipline into a public recapitalisation programme compared to the past recapitalisation programmes.

Outlining the ‘desirable features’ of the recapitalisation package, Patel said the recapitalisation bonds will front-load capital injections while staggering the fiscal implications over a period of time. “As such, the recapitalisation bonds will be liquidity neutral for the government except for the interest expense that will contribute to the annual fiscal deficit numbers,” the governor said.

New Delhi, Oct 25 (PTI): Reserve Bank Governor Urjit Patel Wednesday said the Rs 2.11 lakh crore bank recapitalisation plan is a ‘monumental step forward’ in safeguarding India’s economic future and a comprehensive policy would be put in place to address the challenges faced by the sector. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley yesterday announced that Rs 2.11 lakh crore would be infused in PSU banks over two years, of which Rs 1.35 lakh crore will be through recapitalisation bonds. The remaining Rs 76,000 crore would be from the budgetary support and market raising. Welcoming the government’s decision, Patel in a statement said that a wellcapitalised banking system is a pre-requisite for stable economic growth. “Economic history has shown us repeatedly that it is only healthy banks that lend

on the program, including the structure of the recapitalization bonds and allocations to individual banks, have not yet been disclosed. However, the government has announced that this program will be implemented over the next two years, during which the infusion of the recapitalization bonds will be frontloaded. Moody’s said that In the past, the government had used the recapitalization bond route to recapitalize public sector banks. Those instr uments typically had relatively long maturities and did not have much market liquidity. A similar structure this time would have some negative implications for the banks’ liquidity and profitability profiles. “However, given that the overarching credit weakness of the public sector banks currently is their weak capitalization levels, we would see infusion of the recapitalization bonds as a significant credit positive, notwithstanding some of these potential weaknesses in their structure,” it said.

On August 30, the bench of Chief Justice Misra, Justice Amitava Roy and Justice A.M. Khanwilkar had said that the challenge to the constitutional validity of the Aadhaar scheme would be heard in the first week of November. The court had fixed the hearing in the first week of November after the government told the court on August 30 that September 30 deadline for linking Aadhaar with bank accounts, PAN, mobile numbers and other schemes has been extended till December 31.

the next two years would be around Rs 700-950 billion, factoring in the two main drivers of their capital needs - the need to comply with Basel 3 requirements, and for conservative recognition and provisioning of their asset quality problems,” says Vadlamani. He said even if only the recapitalization bonds and the already announced budgetary support are factored in, the capital infusion by the government should be able to comfortably address the capital requirements of the public sector banks. In addition, the inability of most these banks to access the equity capital markets has also been a key constraint on their capital levels. With much greater visibility now on these banks receiving adequate capital from the government, they may also accordingly regain market access. He said that there is significant scope for the government to reduce its current shareholdings in these banks and still maintain majority ownership. Details

Bank recap plan ‘monumental step forward’: Patel

NEW DELHI, Oct 25 (Agencies): Global rating agency Moody’s Investors Service said on Wednesday that the government’s Rs 2.11 lakh crore recapitalisation plan for public sector banks is a credit positive for the sector. The government on Tuesday announced a fresh package to breathe life into ailing public sector banks through a Rs 2.11 lakh crore infusion that will provide them with much-needed share capital for lending and revive investment, crucial for job creation in Asia’s third-largest economy. “The quantum of the plan is large enough to comprehensively address these banks’ weak capitalization levels and is a significant credit positive as weak capitalization is the main credit weakness for most rated public sector banks,” said Srikanth Vadlamani, a Moody’s Vice President and Senior Credit Officer. “For the 11 rated public sector banks, Moody’s estimates that their external capital requirements over

Attorney General K.K.Venugopal said that the government will extend the deadline till March 31 after Chief Justice Dipak Misra, who heads the bench hearing the case, asked him if government was prepared to extend it. The existing deadline, extended by three months after the earlier deadline on September 30, is till December 31. “The government will be open for the deadline for linking Aadhaar to various programmes being extended for another three months till March 31, 2018, for those who do not have Aadhaar ... and are willing to enrol for Aadhaar,” Attorney General K.K.Venugopal told the bench.

Xi, 64, who was elected in a closed-door vote to head the the Communist Party’s all-powerful Politburo Standing Committee, introduced the new leadership in an elaborate ceremony at Beijing’s massive Great Hall of the People with no clear indication of a successor. Premier Li Keqiang retained his seat on the allpowerful seven-member committee, which has five new faces. The five new members in the ruling council are Li Zhanshu, 67, vice premier Wang Yang, 62, leading Communist Party theoretician Wang Huning, 62, party organisation department head Zhao Leji, 60, and Shanghai party chief Han Zheng, 63. The new faces replaced leaders who had reached an informal retirement age of 68.

The other victim, Monquiarius Caldwell, from Farmerville was not a student at the University, Sutton said. A female student alerted the authorities to the shooting. The bodies were discovered in a courtyard between two dorm buildings, said Stephen Williams, a spokesman for the Lincoln Parish Sheriff ’s Office. The police believe the shooting followed an altercation that started inside one of the adjacent dormitories. “This is a horrible tragedy ... our prayers are with the victims and their families,” Sutton told CNN affiliate KTBS. “There’s no place for violence on the Grambling State University campus. We always encourage our students to be safe, to be aware, to watch who they hang out with, and to watch who’s around at all times. And this is a most unfortunate situation.” The university tweeted that the campus offices are open on Wednesday and that “students are expected to attend class as scheduled”.

board’s failure to institute reforms means it will be neither free nor fair. Kisumu governor Anyang Nyong’o, a hardline Odinga supporter, went a step further. “If the government subverts the sovereign will of the people ... then people are entitled to rebel against this government,” Nyong’o told reporters in Kisumu. Such comments seem certain to fuel fears of a major confrontation with security forces, already blamed for killing nearly 50 people in Kisumu and Nairobi slums after the canceled August vote. For some in East Africa’s economic powerhouse, the instability has rekindled memories of large-scale ethnic violence that killed 1,200 people following a disputed election in 2007.

on live television, chief justice Maraga said one judge was unwell, another was abroad and another was unable to attend after her bodyguard was shot and injured on Tuesday night. It was unclear why the others were absent. The head of the election board, Wafula Chebukati, said that the polls would proceed. “The elections, as scheduled, will go on tomorrow. All polling stations will open tomorrow at 6 a.m.” he said. “In cases where there will be problems (delivering materials) ... the polling officer will have the right to inform us and polling can be suspended to another day.” In the capital Nairobi, thousands of opposition supporters converged on Uhuru Park, waiting for Odinga to give a speech in which he was to outline his strategy for election day. In a related ruling, High Court Judge George Odunga said some local election officials had been appointed in an irregular manner, but to withdraw them at the last minute would only make an already dire situation worse. “For the elections to proceed in the absence of the said officers would in my view be a constitutional crisis of unimaginable magnitude. Simply put, it would be a recipe for chaos.”

Within minutes of Supreme Court chief justice David Maraga announcing that five judges had failed to turn up, preventing a quorum, hundreds of supporters of opposition leader Raila Odinga took to the streets of Kisumu, his main stronghold. Riot police used teargas to disperse them. One protester had a gunshot wound to the buttocks, a Reuters witness said. Odinga successfully challenged the outcome of an initial ballot in August, which he had lost, in the same court. “We were expecting Maraga to cancel (Thursday’s) elections. This means the push for postponement of the election is on,” said George Mbija, a motorcycle taxi driver in the western city. “As we wait for Raila to give us the direction, the status quo remains: No reforms, No election.” The opposition leader has called on loyalists to boycott Thursday’s vote, because he said the election

LMSSOC: Sangzi beat Sunaki 1-0

Action in the match between Sangzi FC and Sunaki FC Longra on Wednesday.

DIMAPUR, OCT 25 (NPN): Sangzi FC beat Sunaki FC Longra 1-0 in a thrilling encounter in the 25th Loyem Memorial Senior Soccer Open Championship (LMSSOC) 2017 at Tuensang on Wednesday.

(19th, 43rd minutes) struck twice for Spain before halftime while Ferran Torres (71st) got the third goal. Lassana N’Diaye scored a consolation goal for Mali in the 74th minute. N’Diaye and Ruiz are now the joint second highest scorers in the tournament with six goals from six matches each. Spain created their first chance in the second minute when a cross by Ruiz from the right was deflected by the Mali defence and Sergio Gomez punched the rebound towards goal. But Mali goalkeeper Youssouf Koita pulled off a superb diving save. Spain were

awarded a penalty when a mistake by the Mali defence saw an unmarked Cesar Gelabert storm into the penalty box before being brought down by Abdoulaye Diaby. Ruiz stepped forward to give Spain the lead. Spain doubled their lead shortly before the break when Ruiz latched on to a defence splitting pass from Gomez and found the target with a first time attempt. Mali were denied a legitimate goal in the 62nd minute when a long range attempt from Cheick Oumar Doucoure dipped beautifully and hit the underside of the crossbar before hitting the inside of the right upright to bounce out. But with no goal line technology to assist the referee, all the furious protests from the Mali bench came to nought even as the local crowd threw their weight behind the Africans. Torres added to the Africans’ woes when he headed down a cross from Gomez to score Spain’s third goal. N’Diaye reduced the margin for Mali soon after when he neatly received a cross, saw off a Spanish defender before calmly beating the goalkeeper. That was the only piece of celebrations the African U-17 champions eventually managed in this match as Spain held on for the win.

India beat New Zealand to level ODI series 1-1

Pune, Oct 25 (IANS): A good batting display helped India beat New Zealand by six wickets in the second One Day International at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium here on Wednesday. With this result, India equalised the three match ODI series. In the first match, India were defeated by the visitors by six wickets in Mumbai. India’s Shikhar Dhawan (68), Dinesh Karthik (64 not out) scored handsomely for the cause. It was a bad start for India as opener Rohit Sharma (7) departed with just 22 runs on the board. The righthand batsman was dismissed by pacer Tim Southee in the fifth over. But Dhawan and skipper Virat Kohli (29) then forged a 58-run second wicket partnership before in-form Kohli was dismissed by Colin de Grandhomme in the 14th over. Kohli slammed three fours and one six in his 29 ball innings.

Unperturbed by the fall of Kohli’s wicket, Dhawan smashed the visitors bowlers all around the park to bring up his 22nd ODI halfcentury. Karthik, on the other hand, kept on supporting Dhawan by giving him the strike and punishing the bad balls. But after adding 18 runs to his half-century, Dhawan was sent packing by Adam Milne in the 30th over. Dhawan’s 84- ball 68 comprised of five fours and two sixes. Incoming batsman Hardik Pandya (30) then joined Karthik and the duo played sensibly. Both batsmen added 59 runs to make their team cross the 200-run mark. But soon, Pandya was dismissed by Mitchell Santner in the 41st over when the scoreboard read 204. Needing 26 runs in 10 overs, incoming batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni (18 not out) and Karthik completed the proceedings com-

fortably with four overs remaining. For New Zealand, Adam Milne was the most succesfull bowler, scalping one wicket for 21 runs. Earlier, disciplined bowling helped India to restrict New Zealand to 230/9. For New Zealand, middle-order batsmen Grandhomme (41) Henry Nicholls (42) and Tom Latham (38) were the major contributors. Unlike the first match, all went well for the hosts. Their bowlers

chipped in with wickets at regular intervals and the fielders also rose to the occasion and made some brilliant saves. The New Zealand batsmen, on the other hand, were struggling right from the start. Apart from the three middle-order batsmen no other batsman stuck to the wicket for a long duration. Opting to bat, the visitors openers Martin Guptill (11) and Colin Munro (10) added 20 runs before pacer

Bhuvneshwar Kumar sent back experienced batsman Guptill in the third over. Skipper Kane Williamson (3) also failed this time as he was adjudged leg before wicket off pacer Jasprit Bumrah in the sixth over. After adding two more runs, Munro was also bowled by Bhuvneshwar in the seventh over with the scoreboard reading 27/3. Previous match stars Ross Taylor (21) and Tom Latham (38), then came into the middle. But just when things seemed good in the middle, Taylor was dismissed by Hardik Pandya in the 16th over. With top order back in the hut, it was now up to the middle-order batsmen. Latham and Henry Nicholls added 60 runs for the fifth wicket before Latham was sent packing by spinner Axar Patel. Unperturbed by the fall of Latham’s wicket, Nicholls and Grandhomme stabilised the New Zealand innings as they forged 47 runs to help their team cross the 160-run mark.
