CBI crisis: Led by Rahul, Oppn hits the street

NEW DELHI, OCT 26 (AGENCIES): Congressled opposition assembled outside the CBI headquarters on Friday to protest against the October 24 CBI shake-up even as the Supreme Court heard pleas of agency top bosses against their recent removal by the Government. Later, the leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, courted arrest and were taken to the police station.

“Eight leaders and 150 workers were detained for 20 minutes and then released,” DCP South Vijay Kumar said.

Top Congress brass marched from Dyal Singh College to the CBI headquarters here to agitate against the decision of the PMO to send CBI chief Alok Verma on leave pending an inquiry by the CVC. The protest was also held across the country.

The CPI also joined the protests led by Congress chief Rahul Gandhi. Later, the TMC also joined the protest march.

Congress has accused the PM of removing the CBI chief to scuttle a potential Rafale scam probe by the agency and says the Govern-

Rijiju to attend cabinet meeting in Kiphire on Nov 9 KO H I M A , O C T 2 6 (AGENCIES): Union minister of state for Home, Kiren Rijiju will be attending the Nagaland cabinet meeting scheduled to be held on November 9 in Kiphire.

In this regard, the Kiphire district administration has asked the department heads who are not in the station to be present in the state by Monday and to be prepared for the “important” meeting.

The district administration Thursday held a coordination meeting chaired

by ADC Reny Wilfred and attended by departmental heads and the stakeholders.

It was informed that officers will be allowed to leave the station only with prior the permission of the District administration till the meeting is over.

Wilfred said respective departments should take care of accommodation for respective director and secretaries if accompanied.

He also asked the department to submit the name list of local officers of respective departments to the district administration so that they will be attached to respective secretaries and Directors.

ment has no legal powers to send the CBI boss on leave.

The opposition is basing its argument on the Delhi Special Police Establishments Act, 1946, which was amended in 2014 and which says that the CBI chief shall be appointed by the selection committee consisting of the PM, leader of opposition and the CJI. Gandhi said only the selection committee could touch the director and the Government could not remove or send the CBI chief on an indefinite leave on its own.

The opposition is also asking the PM what the urgency of packing up Verma at 2 am on October 24 was.

“This has never happened in India. You send a CBI chief on leave in the early hours and then seal his office. Why?” asked Congress leader Anand Sharma.

Congress leader in the selection panel of CBI chief Mallikarjun Kharge said the Government had violated not just the statute but also the SC judgment of 1997 in the Vineet Narain case where the top court had ruled that the CBI chief must get a fixed two-year tenure to preserve the institution’s integrity.

The judgment says notwithstanding the age of superannuation of the CBI chief he will remain in the job for two years. The

Nagaland globally 3rd in nasopharyngeal cancer

Himato Zhimomi, IDA members during the 16th annual general meeting of the association. (NP)

Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, OCT 26 (NPN): Nagaland holds the dubious distinction of having the third highest incidences of nasopharyngeal cancer in the world that stems from addiction to tobacco and its by-products by majority of the population, principal secretary Health and Family Welfare I Himato Zhimomi said on Friday.

While people in major towns like Dimapur

and Kohima have access to healthcare and dentists, Himato lamented that those in far-flung areas of the State were not as fortunate as dentists and even doctors were scarce.

Speaking at the 16th annual general meeting of Nagaland chapter of Indian Dental Association (IDA) at Niathu Resort as a special invitee, Himato Zhimomi called for fiercely tackling nasopharyngeal cancer and taking dental care to remote areas of the State.

He outlined four challenges that dentists faced today. The first, according to him, was the need to upgrade skills and knowledge in an ever-evolving field like dentistry where there was “no place for second best”, alongside incorporating robotics and artificial intelligence to keep abreast with changing times.

He said the second challenge was for dentists to do “lot of handholding in a society that is still vulnerable and largely unaware” and

‘Media freedom under threat across globe’ Spl. Correspondent

GUWAHATI, OCT 26 (NPN): Press freedom is under threat across the globe and South Asia is no different. In fact, some worrying trends emerging in this region have far-reaching implications for journalists everywhere.

Speaking to reporters in the city on Friday from Paris as part of “Meet the Press” programme of Guwahati Press Club, Daniel Bastard, Head of Asia-Pacific desk, Reporters Sans Frontiers (RSF), said as many as 150 journalists were killed in the last 15 years in Indian subcontinent alone. Of these, 71 scribes were killed in Pakistan, 42 in India, 15 in Sri Lanka, 12 in Bangladesh and 10 in Nepal. Referring to the trend in 2000-2010 that showed a clear link between conflict situation and killing of journalists, Daniel remarked that the trend had

changed since 2010. “From 2010 onwards, the number of journalists killed while reporting in countries that are not at war has tended to be higher than those reporting from war fields,” he pointed out. This is of particular significance to India, a stable democracy with a thriving independent press, where the graph of journalist killings has been rising in recent years,” he stressed.

Incidentally, India is ranked 138th out of 180 countries in 2018 World P r e s s Fr e e d o m I n d e x brought out by RSF, headquartered in Paris. This situation can be contrasted with that in militancy-afflicted Pakistan where scribes have to work constantly under the shadow of the gun, or the situations prevailing earlier in Sri Lanka and Nepal torn by civil war. The RSF numbers of scribes killed in South Asian countries do not take into account those

who have disappeared like Yaamyn in the Maldives in 2014; neither do the casualty figures account for citizenjournalists being targeted like the seven bloggers killed in Bangladesh since 2013.

Daniel emphasised that other worrying trends that needed to be addressed in the Indian subcontinent were the high level of censorship and self-censorship, lack of pluralism in certain countries and political affiliation of media owners.

He said with mainstream journalism going increasingly online and the advent of alternative media, newer threats were rising.

“We are now seeing online harassment of journalists by troll armies, dissemination of false information and hate speech messages calling for killing of journalists whose work displeases those in power and their supporters,” Daniel concluded.

adopt a humane approach while attending patients.

The third challenge, he said was to serve in far flung areas where there was an acute shortage of doctors. He revealed that with around 150 to 200 dentists in the State, the shortage was felt more in remote areas and urged the dentists present to take up the challenge of visiting interior areas.

Himato said the fourth challenge was for dentists to fight the scourge of tobacco consumption that had afflicted many families in the State. Urging the dentists to be ambassadors of hygienic living, he lamented that tobacco consumption was rampant even though it was outright unhealthy. Earlier in the programme, IDA Nagaland branch president Dr Kezeneilie Pienyu briefed the principal secretary on the issues concerning dentists in Nagaland.

Entrepreneurs need to build trust with customers, says Rio

KOHIMA, OCT 26 (NPN): Chief minister Neiphiu Rio urged entrepreneurs to build trust with customers in order to succeed in commercial ventures. He said this while launching the Entrepreneur Associates Innovation Fund (EAIF) Award under the theme “Stimulating innovation and entrepreneurship in the Northeast” organised by Entrepreneurs Associates (AE) at RCEMPA, Jotsoma on Friday.

Congratulating EA for many success stories, Rio also encouraged the entrepreneurs and businessmen in Nagaland to work with dedication and sincerity to create employment opportunities and improve the State’s economy. Citing his own example how banks

had trusted him as an entrepreneur before he joined politics, Rio said building trust with others was a must for a businessman or leader and that once that trust was built, business opportunities would grow.

Admitting the hurdles of receiving financial support from banks due to the existing land holding system in the State, Rio informed the gathering that the State government had passed a resolution to amend land laws, especially in foothills, to attract investors though they would not be able to buy land. He said 78.96% businessmen on an average received bank loans across India in 2014, while for Nagaland the figures were only 26.09% in 2011 and 31.04% in 2014.

He said out of 74 RD

DIMAPUR, OCT 26 (NPN): NSCN (I-M) steering committee convenor Rh. Raising said that the Naga movement was a national resistance movement against the aggressor states and not a case of secession from them.

He said Nagas confronted the aggressors with four-pronged strategy- military, political, diplomatic and prayer, saying “ours is a case of aggression on Nagalim by India and Myanmar.”

Speaking at the prayer summit organized by Council Nagalim Churches (CNC) on October 25, Raising however said that the Indian leaders acknowledge the historical fact that Nagas were free from time immemorial.

With the departure of the British, he said Nagas in the British occupied area declared their independence on August 14, 1947 and merged themselves with the ‘free Nagas, before India and Burma became independent.

but it is not updated dynamically and usually they do not have the latest information. The MARCOFED website was launched to engage buyers and sellers, which is one of the core objectives of the website.

The usual information expected by someone visiting a website is available on the MARCOFED, including ways to reach or connect with the organization.

Highlighting the activities of the organization, MARCOFED MD, T Vikuto Zhimo said that the organization was established in the year 1968, August with the aim of marketing agri-produce and to keep in touch with consumer activities. Initially, it was doing well but in the 90’s, for one decade, the organization could not function well because of financial constraints and other problems which were beyond the control of the management.

After 2003, the government picked up the organization for a revamping program.

Beginning 2006, MARCOFED started downsizing employees.

The organization had 118 employees but with the implementation of Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) it was downsized to 69 which was later reduced to 30. Starting from 2007 till date the government has started giving financial assistance to the organization though it is not a planned fund. He also mentioned that with the financial assistance received from the State government, MARCOFED has been able to take up numerous programs to strengthen its existing infrastructure and reviving assets that were dormant in the past due to severe financial constraints.

An example of public service is the MARCOFED LPG Service in Kohima with around 8000 consumers and around 3000 consumers in Phek. The 12 MT capacity MARCOFED Ice plant located at Signal Basti, Dimapur is also operating quite successfully, Zhimo said. He also convened the MARCOFED Golden jubilee to be celebrated on December 15, this year.

KO H I M A , O C T 2 6 (NPN): All Nagaland School Teachers Association (ANSTA) will conduct its 40th Triennial Conference under the theme “Professional Renewal Towards Academic Excellence”, on November 1 and 2 at John Government Higher Secondary School Viswema.

Central ANSTA and Kohima Unit ANSTA will host the two day event.

The dignitaries for the planned event includes minister Road & Bridges, Tongpang Ozukum, advisor School Education, K. T. Sukhalu and also Menukhol John as special guest, guest speaker and resource person respectively.

Briefing media persons about the two day event at its office Friday afternoon, ANSTA president Ponchilo Wanth said the theme was selected based on the poor academic performance of government schools where the teachers alone were blamed.

Therefore, he said the ANSTA felt a need to re-

view professional skills in line with the new system of education. Wanth said ANSTA intends to revive professional zeal and work with greater dedication.

Further, he said a brainstorming session on how to improve academic performance and on challenges faced by government teachers will be discussed and resolutions will be adopted for a way forward.

Calls for collective effort to improve school performance begin with a trek (Nature walk) to Dzukou Valley.

To queries on whether the absence of teachers for two days would affect students as final examinations were approaching, the officials responded that several rounds of consultations were held before fixing the dates and since one or two teachers from a school each would be attending, he hoped that it will not significantly impact school functioning.

Further Wanth said the teachers attending the conference will be granted special leave because the event was set after obtaining approval from the department.

To queries on poor performance of government schools and the practice of stationing proxy teachers, Wanth asserted that ANSTA completely opposes this practice. He said the association has informed all its member teachers to give up their jobs if they were unable to teach and open opportunities for the educated unemployed instead of occupying a seat without performing.

He admitted that insincerity of teachers was the reason for poor performance of the students, however, he said it was also a collective failure since many schools do not have Mathematics and Science subject teachers.

He therefore said a collective effort is required to ensure better performance in gover nment schools in future.

Trespassing case: Former B’desh minister acquitted

Correspondent

Shillong, Oct 26: A lower court in Meghalaya on Friday acquitted former Bangladesh Minister Salahuddin Ahmed who was arrested three years ago for trespassing into India.

Pronouncing the verdict, the court of the first class judicial magistrate D.G. Kharshiing had directed Meghalaya’s district police chief of East Khasi Hills, Davies Marak to take necessary steps for his immediate repatriation.

“He (Ahmed) is found to be innocent and the court has acquitted him honourably. The Court has also directed the police to take necessary steps for his immediate repatriation,” Ahmed’s legal counsel, S.P.Mahanta told this Correspondent.

Ahmed, the communications minister during the government of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) leader Khaleda Zia from

2001-06, was arrested on May 1, 2015 from Golflink area here in Meghalaya after people alerted the authorities about his movement in the area.

Meghalaya Police have registered a case against him under the Foreigners Act on charges of illegally entering India after he failed to produce his travel documents.

He also did not have any papers to prove his identity and citizenship.

“I am eagerly waiting to return to my Country (Bangladesh). I am ready to face political challenges in Bangladesh and the opposition BNP will fight to tooth and nail to restore true democracy in Bangladesh,” an elated Ahmed said after the Court’s verdict Ahmed, who is also the member of the National Standing Committee, the highest decision making committee of the BNP, also thanked the Indian government and the Meghalaya

government for “all cooperation that they have provided to him”.

Ahmed’s family had alleged that some men in plainclothes flashing identity cards of the Bangladesh Police Detective Branch picked him up from a house in Dhaka on the night of March 10, 2015.

“I have not cross the international (India-Bangladesh) border voluntarily. I was blindfolded and dumped in this place (Shillong). The court judgment has also proven that I am innocent,” he said.

Asked if he would contest the 11th national election to elect new members to the Bangladesh parliament, which is scheduled to be held this December, Ahmed said, “If they repatriated me immediately there is chance to contest the elections.

However, I do not know what happens to me once I am in Bangladesh but I am ready to face it legally.”

Manipur Congress stage dharna outside CBI office

Correspondent

IMPHAL, Oct 26: Activists and leaders of Manipur Congress staged a protest outside CBI office in Imphal, as part of party’s nationwide protest against the centre decision to send the two top CBI officers director Alok Verma and special director Rakesh Asthana - on leave.

Former Manipur chief minister O Ibobi Singh, former deputy chief minister Gaikhangam, AICC secretary in-charge Manipur Charles Pyngrope and seating Congress legislators of the state participated in the protest outside the CBI office in Imphal’s Lamphelpat. Placards and banners with various slogans decrying the removal of the two top CBI officers were displayed during the protest.

Some of the slogans read as “BIP violates the Constitution,” “Don’t crucify justice,” “Removal of CBI chief is illegal,” “Modi is unfit PM,” “We condemned the removal of CBI

chief,” etc. were displayed during the protest.

Talking to reporters at the protest site, O Ibobi charged the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre of removing the CBI top officers to cover up the corruption charges leveled against the BJP leaders.

He alleged that the two top CBI officers were sent on leave so that the ruling BJP can appoint an officer of their choice who will act as per their direction.

He said that the government action was illegal and tantamount to violation of the Constitution while alleging that the Central government had not consulted chief justice of India and the leader of the opposition.

Former Speaker of Meghalaya Assembly and AICC secretary (Manipur in-charge) Charles Pyngrope, who took part in the protest said that “the removal of CBI director smells there is something sinister design which the BJP has perpetrated to the people of the country.”

Aizawl, Oct 26 (IANS): Mizoram’s NGO Coordination Committee on Friday urged political parties in the state not to field any candidates from the Chakma tribe in the November 28 Assembly polls, terming them as “Bangladeshi foreigners”.

Around 90,000 to 100,000 Chakmas (out of a total population of 1.1 million) live in Mizoram and constitute the second largest ethnic group after majority Mizo (Lushai) tribe. They have their own Autonomous District Council in southwestern Mizoram.

Vanlalruata, President of the Young Mizo Association (YMA), the most powerful NGO in Mizoram, told the media that the Committee last year itself had asked all the political parties not to field any Chakma tribals in the Assembly elections.

He said this while addressing at a function organized at Classic Hotel to celebrate the successful implementation of CMHT at SKY Hospital, Imphal, a empanelled private hospitals.

Amnesty Intl slams govt after raid

Bengaluru, Oct 26 (PTI): Amnesty International India alleged Friday the Union government is treating human rights organisations like criminal enterprises in the wake of searches by the Enforcement Directorate at its premises.

The ED on Thursday conducted searches at two locations of the rights watchdog in connection with a foreign exchange contravention case.

“Government authorities are increasingly treating human rights organisations like criminal enterprises,” Amnesty International India executive director Aakar Patel said in a statement here.

The searches were in connection with alleged violation of foreign direct investment norms that is linked to an earlier case of revocation of FCRA licence of the NGO by the Union Home Ministry in 2010.

The focus of ED’s questioning was the relationship between two entities — Amnesty International India Pvt Ltd and Amnesty International India Foundation, it said.

Most of the documents asked for during the search were available in the public domain or were already filed with the relevant authorities, the watchdog said.

Details of Amnesty India’s current structure, which was the focus of much of the questioning, have been available on its website since 2014, the statement said.

However, ahead of the raids, the Indian authorities leaked a

Aakar Patel (File) cache of their internal documents marked “secret” that appear to cast Amnesty India’s operations as a dark web of intrigue, the statement said.

“Our work in India, as elsewhere, is to uphold and fight for universal human rights. These are the same values that are enshrined in the Indian Constitution and flow from a long and rich Indian tradition of pluralism, tolerance and dissent,” Patel said.

“We could not agree more with the Prime Minister when he says that periods of repression, like during the Emergency, have left a stain on India’s history. Sadly, those dark days are now casting a shadow over India again.

“Instead of protecting human rights, as it vowed to do, the government is now targeting the people who fight for them,” Patel said.

The accounts of Greenpeace India were frozen earlier this month,

it added.

Around 1.30 pm on October 25, a group of officers from ED entered the premises and locked the gates behind them, the statement said, adding that they ordered Amnesty India staff to remain in office, shut their laptops, and not use their mobile phones.

Earlier, in a series of tweets, Amnesty India said its structure is compliant with Indian laws and ED raid showed a disturbing pattern of government silencing organisations that question power and also wants to instill fear among civil society organisations. “...We reiterate, our structure is compliant with Indian laws,” Amnesty India said in a tweet.

“ED raid on Amnesty India shows a disturbing pattern of the government silencing organisations that question power and it is clear that the government wants to instill fear among Civil Society Organisations,” it said.

The watchdog also said the 10hour long raid conducted at its office ended midnight and the staff had fully cooperated with officials.

The ED, in a statement, had also said, “After Amnesty International India Foundation Trust (AIIFT) was denied the permission/ registration under FCRA (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act) by the MHA (ministry of home affairs) they resorted to bypass the FCRA by floating commercial entity in the name of Amnesty International India Pvt Ltd (AIIPL).

Nagaland globally 3rd in nasopharyngeal cancer (From p-1) In his presidential address, Pienyu remarked, “We have more than 150 dental surgeons in Nagaland. While on one hand, the increase in dental surgeons is good, on the other hand, there is limited prospect of jobs as the vacancies in government sector is very low. Presently, there are only 33 regular government doctors and 17 NHM contractual doctors.”

Calling for better facilities and creation of more

posts, he added, “Most of our dental surgeons have to resort to private practice by setting up their own clinics that requires a huge investment and no financial assistance is provided by the government.”

Pienyu pointed out that national health programmes were more or less based on priority and therefore sectors like oral and dental health programmes were relegated to the backburner, even though more than 80% of the children in the State had dental caries and gin-

gival diseases. Keeping in mind the need to accord more importance to dental health, he warned that unless the State health department drew out its own initiative, the burden of oral diseases in the society would escalate.

IDA State secretary Vichovol, who was present, presented a brief report on the activities of the association carried out last year.

The other highlight of the programme was a song rendered by Dr S Meyisenla Angh. The

conference was chaired by chaired by Dr Sentirenla Jamir and vote of thanks was delivered by Dr Seto D Kera.

Apart from the general conference, there was a pre-conference lecture on effective management practices of dentists and two scientific sessions by Dr Alex Kithan and Dr Longpumeren Jamir.

Fact and fantasy

ike any African country, rich in natural resources but society wallowing in abject poverty; depending solely on sustenance from welfare schemes thrown in by a totally corrupt government system presided over by greedy and over ambitious politicians ; the comparison may not be cent percent true but the similarities with Nagaland are too close for comfort. The state is rich in natural resources but instead of exploiting them for the benefit of the state, the laws safeguarding tribal land and rights have been exploited by some as middle men and barter away the greater economic benefits that they would have gained. The false sense of economic well being of people rests on the premise that the government is the be-all and end-all of their very existence and since they were at a place when the region became a under “peculiar political circumstances,” they are entitled to all the benefits due to them. This sense of entitlement among people of the state has become the biggest drawback towards progress and has over the decades led to gradual decline. In the lexicon of economists, Nagaland is a welfare state or in factual interpretations, beggar state. Yet the notion of “being unique” continues to play out as if it is an achievement, either in the distant past or the present period. People from outside, however are confused about this “uniqueness” since they fail to see in which area can this term by applicable. The race for progress during the 60s till the mid-80s was consistent with the vision of those who embraced statehood as they were fired with determination to change the landscape. The only growth that has shown consistency is corruption which has led to creation of a cottage industry of extortion and illegal collections. However, to simply suggest even, that corruption had overtaken and hijacked the destiny of the people would be an understatement. Causes of corruption are many like nepotism, moral deterioration, inconsistency of policies, devalued human capital, misuse of authority and privileges, extortions; incompetence, indolence, ineptitude, cheating and theft including concentration of power, in-equality in society, disregard of state authorities and law etc. There is no place (at least in India) where corruption does not exist. The welfare schemes meant for the poor have remained riddled with blatant corruption. Probably since there are no poor, the welfare schemes have been wasted away. The graft and often ill-conceived, welfare schemes, borrowed from others, have become an easy populist tool that is a second best solution to a government that believes in short term gains at the cost of long term consequences. It is going to be fifty five (55)years since Nagaland became a state and today the level of development bears mute testimony to crumbling infrastructures that were established or constructed over thirty years ago. The contrast in fact and fiction of material and human development is as relative to the inverse law of proportion- government continues to get more money but sinks deeper into deficits for the rising wealth of the exclusive and privileged nouveau riche. The government structures are crumbling while palatial buildings shoot skywards on the same area where a government office or house used to exist. This is because the government of Nagaland is a refugee, without any land and authority and existing for the privileged lot.

DailyDevotion What is a Missionary?

Jesus said to them again, “…As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” —John 20:21 A missionary is someone sent by Jesus Christ just as He was sent by God. The great controlling factor is not the needs of people, but the command of Jesus.

The source of our inspiration in our service for God is behind us, not ahead of us. The tendency today is to put the inspiration out in front— to sweep everything together in front of us and make it conform to our definition of success. But in the New Testament the inspiration is put behind us, and is the Lord Jesus Himself. The goal is to be true to Him— to carry out His plans.

Personal attachment to the Lord Jesus and to His perspective is the one thing that must not be overlooked. In missionary work the great danger is that God’s call will be replaced by the needs of the people, to the point that human sympathy for those needs will absolutely overwhelm the meaning of being sent by Jesus. The needs are so enormous, and the conditions so difficult, that every power of the mind falters and fails. We tend to forget that the one great reason underneath all missionary work is not primarily the elevation of the people, their education, nor their needs, but is first and foremost the command of Jesus Christ— “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…” (Matthew 28:19).

When looking back on the lives of men and women of God, the tendency is to say, “What wonderfully keen and intelligent wisdom they had, and how perfectly they understood all that God wanted!” But the keen and intelligent mind behind them was the mind of God, not human wisdom at all. We give credit to human wisdom when we should give credit to the divine guidance of God being exhibited through childlike people who were “foolish” enough to trust God’s wisdom and His supernatural equipment.

Pensioners’ at ease with Annual Identification

he other day one senior citizen was criticizing banks for giving Life Certificate to pensioner. The Term Life Certificate is quite inappropriate and that should have been called Annual Identification. As per 7th CPC, there are 51.96 lakhs central govt pensioners excluding state government pension. When November comes, pensioners are to submit Life Certificate to bank to continue receiving pension for another 12 months. While senior citizen find it hard to be physically present in the banks due to old age and infirmity or medical ailment. They have to stand in queue for hours to proof of their existence. The entire process is very tedious after having toiled all their life; they want dignity in golden years. That leads to denial of their right of receiving pension. The government has taken steps to make this process at ease. However, many pensioners and their care-givers are uninformed of it. Pensioners can submit a physical copy of their Life Certificate at any branch of the same bank across the country or use an Aadhaar-based online Digital Life Certificate through the Jeevan Pramaan website. A successful authentication generates Digital Life Certificate that can be accessed by the Pension Disbursing Agencies (PDA) on-line. 253.7 lakhs pensioners already submitted digital

life certificate till 1st Nov 2017.

Pensioners who are unable to visit their bank branch, can submit a Life Certificate, duly signed by a Magistrate, a Registrar or subRegistrar, a Gazetted Officer, a Police Officer no below the rank of Sub-Inspector, a postmaster, a class I officer of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), a pensioned officer who before retirement exercised powers of a Magistrate, a Justice, a Block Development Officer or Munsif or Tehsildar or Naib Tehsildar, a Head of Village Panchayat, a Member of Parliament or State Legislature or a Treasury Officer. The Officer of the bank can sign the Life Certificate for pensioners receiving pension through their savings account in a public sector bank. Pensioners, who are not in a physical condition to visit the branch, can request an officer from the bank to visit their home for signing the certificate.

Also the pensioner is required to submit such Life Certificate and Doctor’s Certificate within 30 days of signing the same by Designated Officer and the Doctor.

Getting a digital Life certificate is hassle free and can be obtained through various Jeevan Pramaan Centres, banks, and government offices or by using an application on computer, smart phone with fingerprint scanning facility or tablet. After download-

ing the app, the pensioner has to provide Aadhaar number, Pension Payment Order (PPO), bank account, bank name and mobile number. The pensioner then needs to authenticate herself through fingerprint scanner or iris scanning.

After a successful authentication, an SMS acknowledgement is sent to the pensioner’s mobile number including her Jeevan Pramaan Certificate ID. The pensioner can also download a PDF copy of her Life Certificate from the Jeevan Pramaan website. If both biometrics do not work, bank should accept a physical copy of the certificate to avoid any harassment.

A pensioner living abroad / NRI pensioner can send the Life Certificate signed by the authorised officer of Indian High Commission/Consulate/Embassy of the country where he/she lives. Also it can be forwarded from the same bank if available abroad. The format of the Life Certificate can also be downloaded from website.

A defence pensioner suffering from illness can send a Life Certificate to Defence Pension Disbursing Office (DPDO) by obtaining a certificate from a Registered Medical Practitioner who treats him/her.

A defence pensioner re-employed in a Govt Department or PSU or autonomous body can send a Life Certificate to the DPDO by obtain-

ing it from the Head of the Office where he/she is re-employed.

In case of widowed / divorced / unmarried daughter a certificate regarding her marital status and income certificate (only for unmarried daughter) are required to be submitted yearly along with the Life Certificate. A Non Employment Certificate is to be furnished only by retired Group ‘A’ Officers. A re-employment / non-employment certificate for Judges is required for availing allowances like Domestic Help and Dearness Allowance. Certificate of Re-marriage / Marriage once in a life time is to be declared by widow recipient of family pension. Declaration by MPs/MLAs for drawal of pension are to be furnished.

Swatantrata Sainik Samman Pension to freedom fighters and their eligible dependents where freedom fighters have already expired are to submit income certificate also.

Gurkha Retirement / Service / Disability / Family Pension is to be forwarded to concerned bank / bank in Nepal for processing at Headquarters Brigade of Gurkhas, Robertson House, Camberley Surrey England.

PDA receiving Life Certificates from EPFO (EPF 1952, EPS 1995, EDLIS 1976) / Tea Board / Coal India / Meghalaya Electricity / ASEB / AG / Treasury /

RBI / Bank / India Post / BSNL / other PSU pensioners are to send to its respective department for continuing pension. A minor pension is getting stopped after reaching major (18 years) for boy and for girl after getting marriage.

Pension is deposited to the account of care taker for differently able pensioner or a minor pension. In that case, both are to present Life Certificate. Only either spouse can have joint account for pension other than minor or differently able pensioner. In case of difficulties, a pensioner can put thumb impression for signature after enclosing a medical certificate.

PDA sometimes failed to forward the same to their CPPCs in time, resulting in stoppage of pension which causes undue financial hardship to the pensioners.

However it is always advisable for pensioners to submit Life Certificate well in advance for smooth processing at PDA. As per CPAO directive, bank must provide the acknowledgement of Life Certificate to the pensioner without fail.

Getting a digital life certificate is easy and friendly. Enrol and share the experience of biometrically authenticate with Jeevan Pramaan ID if pensioners want to sit and relax and not get hassled in a bank.

Rh. Raising’s October 25 speech at CNC Prayer Summit

Respected moderators, Church leaders, dignitaries, my dear colleagues, ladies and gentlemen gathered here on this historic prayer summit.

I greet you all in the precious Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

We know that every nation is the child of its history. Political concept cannot begin from a dead history.

It naturally, begins from a living history. The politics of the Nagas is founded on the solid rock of their living history. The Nagas have never ever sold out their history to any power at any point of time.Nagas are also a nation among nations.

The Indian leaders acknowledge the historical fact that Nagas are free from time immemorial. No power has ever subjugated them. The British imperialist intruded into Naga territory only in 1832, against whom the Nagas put up tough resistance for 48 years. Nonetheless, the British imperialist forces occupied a part of Nagalim leaving the restpart called ‘free Nagas’ as free as ever.

With the departure of the British, the Nagas in the British occupied area declared their independence on 14th August 1947 and merged themselves with the ‘free Nagas, before India and Burma became independent.

In fact, the Indian Constituent Assembly invited the Nagas to join the Union of India in 1950, but it was rejected outrightly. Gen. Aung San, the then President of Burma also invited the Nagas to join the Union of Burma (Myanmar), but the Nagas were not a party to the Union of Burmaeither. Our honorable Ato Kilonser Mr. Th. Muivah emphasized and still emphasizes this point in the talks stating, “The Nagas have neither been a part of theUnion of India nor that of Burma either by conquest of the two military might or by consent of the Nagas.”

Convincedof this reality,the government of India recognized the ‘unique history and situation of the Nagas in 2002.’

Ours is a case of aggression on Nagalim by India and Myanmar. Therefore, it is a national resistance movement of the Nagas against the aggressor states, not a case of secession from them.

The Nagas confronted the aggressors with fourpronged strategies: - military, political, diplomatic and prayer.

MILITARY FRONT: We Nagas had intended to solve the problem through political dialogue. Therefore, our leaders approached Indian authorities for political solution, but they turned a deaf ear to the voices of the Nagas and chose military option. As

compelled by circumstances, the Nagas had but to resist against the aggressors in self-defense. We fought back the aggressors with faith and determination in the highways andthejungles; we fought against them in the villages and the towns; we fought them in the east and the west, in the north and the south and everywhere. But fighting alone could not drive the point home. The problem, being political, has to be dealt with politically.

POL I T I C AL FRONT: Human problems are, by culture, solved through dialogue, not by might. India, having realized this, approached us for a peaceful settlement through political dialogue. So we changed our strategy from military to political and from confrontation to negotiation. Our people spearheaded by civil societies launched series of processions and rallies; they submitted Memorandums to the government of India (GoI) for a number of times for early political solution; they also organized bans and economic blockades in protest against violations of human rights even during peace process. Elected MLAs of Nagaland state in their Legislative Assembly unanimously passed resolutions consecutively for six times (12 December1964, 28 August 1970, 16 September 1994, 18 December 2003, 27 July 2015, 18 September 2018) on integration issue and in support of honorable solution to the Indo-Naga political problem. Naga MLAs and MPs from other states also issued statements in support of the peace process. The prayer supports of the Churches are also commendable.

In response to the initiative of the GoI, NSCN, finally embarked upon negotiation with the GoI where six successive Prime Ministers of India aredeeply involved. It was during Mr. P.V. Narasimha Rao’s time in 1995 that GoI (government of India) and NSCN mutually agreed to hold talks under three terms – talk without condition, talk at the Prime Ministerial level and in third countries. He was followed byMr. H.D. DeveGowda who stated, “We must seek peaceful political solution.” In 1997, the Cease-fire Agreement was announced in the Indian Parliament by Mr. I.K Gujral. It was during the tenure of Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee who took the bold step in recognizing ‘the unique history and situation of the Nagas’ in 2002.The Congress led coalition government of Dr. Man Mohan Singh tabled ‘None Paper’ in the talks. He stated ‘solution outside the box’ and ‘I will go extra mile’ to bringing an

honorable solution. On 3rd of August 2015, Mr. Narendra Modi, the present honorable Prime Minister of India took the significant political step in signing the historic ‘Framework Agreement.’

The strong commitments of the six Prime Ministers of India to the current peace process are praiseworthy and appreciable, from where they can never go back upon their words. Statements in support of honorable solution were also given by former Prime Ministers of India, Mr. Chandra Shekhar and Mr. V. P. Singh. Mahatma Gandhi stated, “Nagas have every right to be independent.” Mr. Raja Gopalachari, the last Governor General of India also recognized the sovereign right of the Nagas. Mr. Jaya Prakash Narayan, an Indian MP stated that it is far better for India to have friendly Nagas in the frontier than hostile Nagas forcibly brought within Union of India. Mrs. Indira Gandhi proposed for a kind of solution on the basis of ‘Suisa’s Proposal.’ The magnitude of political damage would be far reaching if GoI goes back upon its words.

But on our part, we believe in a negotiated settlement and that we will abide by the Framework Agreement in letter and in spirit.

D I PLOMA T I C FRONT: We cannot fight the aggressors single-handedly.We must have support groups and allies from home and abroad. As situation demanded NSCN leaders went abroad in groupsfor political mobilizations on Naga issue inmany countries covering five Continents. We got positive responses from those leaders we had met.We met leaders of the American Indian Movement of Colorado and shared friendship peace pipe with them. We attended UN meetings a number of times and spoke on human right situation in Nagalim.

In response to our appeal the then UN Secretary General, Boutros Boutros Ghali stated, “There is human right situation in Nagaland (Nagalim).”

In 1993, we got admitted into the Unrepresented Peoples and Nations Organization (UNPO).In 1995, the fourth General Assembly of UNPO took the historic decision in recognizing the sovereignty of the Nagas. 24 Senators and Congressmen from the United State of America wrote a letter to the Prime Minister of India in support of the Indo-Naga peace process for an honorable solution.

The Carter Centre of former President of the United States of America Mr. Jimmy Carter wrote a strong letter (dated June18, 2005), to the Prime Minister of India, Dr. Man Mohan Singh suggesting for

an “honorable and lasting solution that will assure the rights of the Naga people and the security of India.”

Support of the ‘Society for threatened people’ from Germany; Parliamentarians for National Self-Determination (PNSD) from United Kingdom which acknowledged the rights of the Naga people to self determination as enshrined in international law; Staunch and unflinching support of KREDDA and Naga International Support Centre (NISC) from Netherland, KWIA - the Flemish Support Group for Indigenous Peoples from Belgium are highly commendable. Forum for Asia from Bangkok, Asia Indigenous Peoples’ Pact (AIPP) Chiang Mai-based, Thailand, Other Media, Delhi-based and IDASA from South Africaand prayer supports of the Churches arelaudable. NSCN is also a signatory to the Geneva Call Deed of Commitment, which is a part of UN Institutionthat bans use of uncontrolled Anti-Personnel Mine and also prohibits sexual violence and against gender discrimination. In spite of all these hard realities, GoI still fails to respect the voice of the international community and organizations. GoI is adamantly in the wrong stand. But on our part, NSCN is still resolutely determined to keep going. We will never fail our people.

PRAYER FRONT: By culture, the name of the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth has been associating with the Nagas in all of their walks of life. Sowing seeds without sacrificial prayer is a social taboo for the Nagas. No warrior goes to war without saying a word of ritual prayer. Prayer precedes every activity of life in the world of the Nagas. All Biblical heroes and heroines were praying men and women.

They defeated their enemies through prayer power. The Naga Army under the banner of NSCN outmaneuvered and outfought the enemies in many battles through the power of prayers. NSCN leaders won over the hearts of world leaders through the power of prayers. For us, Prayer is not just a word; it is an awesome power. However, prayers of the workers alone is not enough. It needs the prayer support of the churches. You should continue praying for the cause.

Churches are also part of the movement.

F RAM E W OR K AGREEMENT: We are in need of agreements with the Governments of India and Myanmar. We have been looking foran agreement that can guarantee the future of the Nagas. Rest assured that the ‘Framework Agreement’ officially signed

between the government of India and the National Socialist Council of Nagalim on the 3rdAugust 2015, will certainly protect our sovereign rights, our territories, our people, our identity, our culture and our future from all terrible waves of political, military, economic and cultural imperialisms of aggressor states.

Any agreement is no solution if it is not issue-based.

It is the concept of the agreement that matters. We know the concept of the past agreements or accords were Indian constitution-based. But the concept of the ‘Framework Agreement’ is based on the principle of co-existence of the two entities and sharedsovereignty. The Nagas and the Indians will co-exist maintaining their respective identities. The Framework Agreement will certainly change the mind-set of the two peoples from enmity to friendship; from opposition to cooperation; from suppression of rights to recognition of rights. It says the Nagas will manage their affairs by themselves, but there will be areas where the two peoples will walk together and stand together as partners. We cannot exist in total isolation from our neighbors because interdependent relationship with others is the law.

PRAYER SUMMIT: A small problem needs a small prayer, and a mountain of problem calls for a mountain of prayer. To a national problem like ours, it requires of us a national prayer. I hope and trust that today’s prayer summit will be a tremendous spiritual power that will overcome opposing forces who stand in the way to solution of the long-drawn Indo-Naga political conflict.

Who can withstand the will of the Lord? We still need the prayer supports of the church leaders. Prayers of the anointed pastors/priests touch the heart of the matter.

We cannot stay away from the Church. People and the Church are inseparable. We

have done the best we could, but that is not enough. We feel something is missing.

THEN, WHAT SHALL WE DO NOW? Like David, we need revolutionary fighters who look at Jehovah, not Goliath. We need revolutionary church leaders who look at Jesus, not the storm. The Naga people under the leadership of the revolutionary NSCN have brought the movement from the stage of the guerrilla warfare to the mass warfare; from the stage of armed confrontation to the peace process where every one of us is involved.

Our problem is political and therefore, we must be political. But to be political alone is not enough, we need a political people who trust in the Lord; we need political workers who trust in the Lord; we need political leaders who trust in the Lord; we need political army who trust in the Lord; we need political youth who trust in the Lord.

If we do not take the Name of the Lord with us, mind this, others will certainly overtake us and subdue us, one day or the other.

NSCN alone should not be viewed as actors. Every one of us should be an actor, not a fan. The Church is no exception. We need Churches to go along with the people and their issues. Church leaders should also be the shepherds of the people. We know anointed pastors are Nazirites of the Lord. They should also be the Nazirites of the people’s cause. The Naga people are fighting under the banner of Nagalim for Christ. The Name of the Lord is in the movement as it was in Jerusalem. By Nagalim for Christ it means –the Naga people trust in Jesus Christ and they have chosen Him to be their Lord. Let us unite in Him for ‘we are created by Him and for Him.’ Let the whole world know this.

Reader’s Post

L.D.A vanished in thick smoke Sir,

The Education department had published 78 posts for L.D.A cum computer assistant on 13/12/2017, we the educated unemployed youth were eagerly waiting for the online application as per the advertisement. ten months have elapsed without any sign. The Education department remained silent without any clue, nor did the department bothered to cite the reason behind the delay in inviting the online application, with all hopes in vain leaving empty advertisement in the mid air, which can be classified as another front door appointment. It is a silent murder to the educated unemployed youth of Nagaland. “better not than never”.

WANGLA VILLAGE COUNCIL Mon : Nagaland “Justice in Governance”

AN APPEAL

We the Wangla general public held a meeting to discuss about the rampant, provocative and habitual anti – activities of National Worker Group of our village against the general public affair and village local self govt.

Their activities include high cash amount demand and disturbance to other development works taken up within the village.

The worst and last act they did was the forceful seizure Rs. 3,98,905/(Three lakh Ninety Eight Thousand Nine Hundred and Five only) from MGNREGA (Job Card) on 13th October 2017 from the possession of VDB Secretary.

These workers are : (1) Mr. Gingjai, S/o Yiengning (2) Mr. Penyuh, S/o Khamtan (3) Mr. Wangjong, S/o Chingphong, Wangla Village. They are all from NSCN (IM) So, in our meeting we unanimously resolved to appeal the political factions that the above mentioned be immediately terminated and never to be recruited in any group or faction.

Henceforth, which ever organization recruits them will be doing so in their own risk and Wangla Public will start a non-co operation movement against those factions.

On Behalf of Wangla Public : N. Shangmeth V.C Chairman and Nokpai Council Secy.

New Delhi, Oct 26 (Agencies): India’s trade minister Suresh Prabhu said on Friday that China has agreed to increase its imports from the country.

“Global disruptions offer a chance to increase Indian exports,” Prabhu said at an event organised by the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII). Prabhu said Chinese authorities will hold a meeting in November specifically with Indian exporters to address their concerns relating to market access and trade regulations. India’s trade deficit with China is its widest with any country, with large amounts of electronics and other items flowing across the border with its northern neighbour. The Indian government said on Thursday it is set to boost exports of rice and rapeseed to China to try to narrow this gap.

mit, Commerce and Industry Minister Suresh Prabhu asked the industry to become more aggressive in exploring export opportunities in new markets such as Africa and latin America.

He said the action plan prepared by the ministry to boost exports will be released soon.

“There are huge opportunities for exports in SAARC and Asean countries,” Prabhu said, adding India is working with the US to resolve all the pending issues to boost bilateral trade.

“The US is raising issues related to data localisation, issues related to duty imposed by Indian on IT products. We are engaged with the discussion (with them),” he added.

Since 2011-12, India’s exports have been hovering at around USD 300 billion.

During 2017-18, the shipments grew by about 10 per cent to USD 303 billion.

Promoting expor ts helps a country to create jobs, boost manufacturing and earn more foreign exchange.

More than 40 of the 179 new billionaires created last year inherited their wealth, and given the number of billionaires over 70 the report’s authors expect a further $3.4 trillion to be handed down over the next 20 years.

“A major wealth transition has begun,” the report said.

“Over the past five years, the sum passed by deceased billionaires to beneficiaries has grown by an average of 17 per cent each year, to reach $117 bn in 2017. In that year alone, 44 heirs inherited more than a billion dollars each.

“There are 701 billionaires over the age of 70, whose wealth will transition to heirs and philanthropy over the next 20 years, given the statistical probability of average life expectancy.”

The 30 richest septuagenarians or older have a combined net worth of more than $1 trillion.

having some kind of incentives, where exporters are at disadvantage with respect to our competing countries where they are having some kind of free trade agreement with common export markets.

“So, we are trying to finalise a scheme...you can provide incentive to partially compensate for that disadvantage, which our exporters are facing,” the DGFT said here at CII’s Export Summit.

The ministry is also working on tax rebates, duties and embedded taxes, besides alternative payment mechanism in potential problem countries such as Venezuela, Sudan, Cuba and CIS nations.

He said that it is the right of exporters to get rebate on those levies as “those duties and taxes should not be exported. We are working on a pilot scheme”.

Further, the DGFT said soon the IT system for exporters will be revamped completely and the ministry will float tenders for the same.

London, O c t 2 6 (IANS): Billionaires made more money in 2017 than in any year in recorded history and the richest people on Earth increased their wealth by a fifth to $8.9 trillion, according to a report

by Swiss bank UBS. “The past 30 years have seen far greater wealth creation than the Gilded Age” the UBS Billionaires 2018 report said on Friday.

“That period bred generations of families in the US and Europe who went on to influence business, banking, politics, philanthropy and the arts for more than 100 years. With wealth set to pass from entrepreneurs to their heirs in the coming years, the 21st century multi-generational families are being created.”

According to the report, the world’s 2,158 billionaires grew their combined wealth by $1.4 trillion last year, more than the GDP of Spain or Australia, as booming stock markets helped the already very wealthy to achieve the “greatest absolute growth ever”, the Guardian reported.

New Delhi, Oct 26 (PTI): The commerce ministry is working on a comprehensive strategy and considering incentives for exporters with a view to boost the country’s outbound shipments, a senior government official said on Friday.

Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) Alok Chaturvedi said that the exports, which recorded about 10 per cent growth in 2017-18 to over USD 300 billion, is expected to reach USD 330-340 billion this fiscal. In the first half of the current fiscal, the exports grew by 12.5 per cent to USD 164 billion.

He said the ministry has prepared a matrix of action plans for specific sectors, including engineering, gems and jewellery, chemicals, textiles and pharma, and issues pertaining to these areas are being taken up with the concerned departments. There are some cross-cutting issues such as withdrawal of amendment in the CGST rules, which is being partially resolved.

But questions remain over the legality of the move, as a constitutional amendment passed in 2015 had taken away the president’s power to sack the prime minister. “The appointment of Rajapakse as the Prime Minister is unconstitutional and illegal. This is an anti democratic coup,” Finance M i n i s t e r M a n g a l a S amaraweera wrote on Twitter shortly after the appoint-

The sur prise move comes after disagreements between Sirisena and ousted Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe over economic policy and day-today administration of the government.

the suspects talk, then Turkey will, he said. “The incident took place in Istanbul.

So, hand them to us, and let us judge them.” Erdogan described some of the statements made by the Saudis as the Khashoggi case unfolded as “very funny”.

“These juvenile statements do not match with the seriousness of government affairs... It is obvious that (Khashoggi) is killed. But where? Where is the body?”

After weeks of providing conflicting accounts of what happened to Khashoggi, the kingdom last week said that he was killed “accidentally” in a fist fight at the consulate by “rogue” agents. But Riyadh maintained that neither the Crown Prince nor King Salman knew of the operation to target Khashoggi.

US officials have said such a mission -- including 15 men sent from Riyadh -- could not have been carried out without the authorization of Bin Salman, the country’s de facto ruler.

Sirisena won elections against Rajapakse in 2015 on a platform of economic reform and accountability for atrocities committed during his opponent’s 10year rule at the close of Sri Lanka’s bloody civil war.

Colombo was on the verge of facing economic sanctions from Western nations over Rajapakse’s human rights record before his government lost office.

Suood bin Abdullah Al Mo’jab’s planned trip to Turkey came a day after he said that the kingdom now considered Khashoggi’s killing to be “premeditated”, based on information from Turkish investigators.

Meanwhile, CIA chief Gina Haspel briefed US President Donald Trump on Thursday on her findings following her trip to Turkey, where she was dispatched to assess the information the Turks collected in the case.

The Washington Post reported that Haspel listened to the audio purportedly of Khashoggi’s interrogation and murder. The White House confirmed the briefing had taken place but gave no further details.

The Saudi government has faced wide condemnation from western nations over Khashoggi’s killing and its apparent cover-up. Russia, however, has yet to criticize the kingdom.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday that there was no reason to doubt what the Saudi royals said about Khashoggi’s death. Asked if the Kremlin believed the statements, Peskov said: “That is an inappropriate question, there is an official statement from the King and Crown Prince.

There is no reason basically not to believe it.” Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the case with King Salman on Thursday in a phone call held at the initiative of the Saudi side, the Kremlin said.

Ankara, Oct 26 (IANS): Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday called on Saudi Arabia to reveal the location of murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s body and hand over the suspects involved in his killing.

Erdogan’s comments came after the Turkish media reported that the country’s police found no DNA traces of the Washington Post columnist in water samples taken from a well at the residence of the Saudi Arabian consul in Istanbul.

The leader said that the top Saudi prosecutor will travel to Turkey on Sunday to meet the top Istanbul prosecutor and argued that those responsible for killing him should face trial in Turkey, CNN reported.

After Saudi Arabia admitted that the supporter-turned-critic of Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman was killed on October 2 in its Istanbul consulate, five high-ranking officials were dismissed, including Bin Salman’s media chief and the deputy head of the Saudi intelligence service.

Eighteen people were arrested.

“Whatever happened, it comes down to these 18 persons. If you are determined, if you want to remove the suspicion and clear the air, these 18 persons are the bottom line to this,” Erdogan said, addressing the provincial heads of his ruling Justice and Development Party in Ankara.

WASHINGTON, Oct 26 (PTI): US President Donald Trump has said all sanctions against Iran lifted by the 2015 nuclear deal will be back in “full force” from November 5 and promised more in the future to prevent Tehran from developing the world’s deadliest weapons.

In May, the Trump administration withdrew the US from the Iranian nuclear deal and re-imposed a series of tough sanctions on Iran, citing the Islamic nation’s ‘malign activities’.

While the first phase of sanctions is already in place, the sanctions would come into full force on November 4 and the US expects all countries, including India, to bring down their import of Iranian oil to zero by then or face secondary sanctions.

To avoid this, India either needs a waiver from the US or has to bring down the purchase of Iranian oil to zero.

Discussing some newly written songs, Cobain describes them as being about “anger, negativity” with a “typical punk rock attitude” before telling Robb that he found it harder to be “angry” since leaving home.

Starting for the first time in the tournament, Tingyeik struck in just the 2nd minute. Kekhreietuo then doubled the lead in the 36th minute with the score reading 2-0 at halftime.

But the floodgates opened right after the whistle blew for the restart.

Tingnyeik rifled in a shot from 40 yards a minute into the second half to make it 3-0 and completed his hattrick in the 76th minute with a sublime finish.

His match winning performance bolstered his team to keep their attack flowing. Kekhreietuo added to the misery of Foothill

United by grabbing his second goal three minutes later to make it 5-0. The demolition was completed when Vetao FC winger Muthiu scored in the 85th minute.

The Foothill United players never seemed to find their foothold on the game as they kept making several errors while also failing to capitalize on their opponent’s mistakes.

Vetao Aye FC will take on Nyenshen FC in the semi-finals on October 30.
