Staff Reporter

Jamir has categorically pointed out that Nagas of Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and Myanmar are not indigenous inhabitants of Nagaland state. Dr. Jamir, who is a surviving member of the Naga People’s Convention (NPC) that signed the historic 16point agreement, made this remark while addressing the launch of Nagaland Indigenous People’s Forum (NIPF) Saturday at the Auditorium of Don Bosco School, Dimapur. “We have Nagas in Manipur, Arunachal, Manipur and Burma but they are indigenous of their respective states and country. Just because they are Nagas, they can’t claim to be indigenous inhabitant of Nagaland,” said Dr. Jamir.

He illustrated his point by citing the example of Chinese people inhabiting in different parts of the world. Dr. Jamir said the mainland China does not claim that all of them should be indigenous inhabitants of China. “Nagas of Nagaland should not be confused, nor intimidated by any elements or vested interest on this vital issue,” said Dr. Jamir. The veteran Naga political said the issue of identifying indigenous inhabitants of Nagaland should be approached dispassionately and with political foresight as it would affect the lives of the inhabitants of Nagaland, now and in future. The former five-time chief minister of Nagaland who also served as governor of several states for 14 years, said that while deliberating on the subject, a broader view should be maintained without any prejudice – be it communal, tribal or even religious. “The issue of indigenous is both emotive and sensitive and yet our deliberations should not be emotional nor sensational,” said Dr. Jamir. He pointed out that at present Nagaland

state covered a little over 16,000 sq km with about two million population and by 2050 Nagaland is projected to have about five million population. “We must know that space available at present is not sufficient for the indigenous inhabitants of Nagaland and the population will keep increasing whereas the area shall remain the same and job opportunities will be very limited if we go at the present trend and rate,” cautioned Dr. Jamir. The former governor of Goa, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Odisha then said that when the state was over burdened, nothing should be done to overload the state by bringing “extra luggage from outside”.
Dr. Jamir said survival of people of Nagaland, especially the younger generation, would be determined by the decisions of the present leadership of the Nagas on the indigenous issue. In his message to indigenous inhabitants of north-east region, Dr. Jamir said with India’s ‘Act East Policy’ (AEP) the region would be exposed to influx from South East Asian countries. As the corridor of the mainland country, he said the region should be prepared for “crisscrossing of civilisation and invasion of tremendous economic forces”. Dr. Jamir cautioned that not a single state of the region could singularly face this invasion and asked the entire region to come together and be prepared by developing themselves and elevating their present education system. “Unless we develop, unless we improve the kind of education that we have to match the worst time we will be second class citizens in our own land”, warned Dr. Jamir. Apart from focusing on customary and traditional practices, he said the region should talk about the
Peace talks: Nagaland, Manipur on alert KOHIMA/IMPHAL, OCT 26 (PTI): With the next round of peace talks to end the protracted Naga political problem, the Nagaland and Manipur governments have taken steps to meet any eventuality and have put their respective police forces on “high alert”. Officials said in Kohima that the Nagaland government has directed all deputy commissioners and administrative officers to remain in their place of posting and within their jurisdiction till further orders. Nagaland police headquarters has issued an order banning all kinds of leaves and directed all unit commanders to recall all officers and personnel on leave immediately except those on medical leave. In neighbouring Manipur, where Nagas have a sizeable presence, security forces in the state have been put on high alert and a large number of security forces, including women personnel have been deployed at
important areas to thwart any “unwanted activities”, a top state government official said. Seeking to rule out any apprehension on the peace talks, Nagaland chief secretary Temjen Toy told PTI here “Everything is normal and the public need not worry of any unwarranted situation ... We are not apprehensive but we don’t want to be caught unawares and so we are remaining alert to face any kind of eventualities”. Nagaland DGP, John Longkumer ruled out any scope of apprehension by the people saying, “We are preparing for any law and order situation that may come about. We are always like this whenever anything is to come about. “Instead of panicking, people should be happy that the state police is on high alert for their security,” the DGP said. The Police Headquarters in Kohima circulated in the social media a direction to the India Reserve Battalions
to keep at least two months stocks of rations and fuel in view of the fluid situation in the state. This has reportedly created apprehension amongst the people and Toy said the police department has already been warned against issuing such orders. In Manipur, government orders have been issued for adoption of preventive measures to deal with any “possible disruption in the supply and distribution of essential commodities due to the impending fallout of the Naga Peace talks”, officials said. Manipur ADGP (Law and Order), L Kailun has instructed the police superintendents of all the 16 districts to ensure maximum manpower to meet any eventuality. Security forces and commandants of Manipur Rifles and IRBn have been directed to maintain adequate manpower “to move in short notice in connection with prevailing law and order situation in the state.”

He said the objective of North East Indigenous People Forum (NEIPF) should not be only talk about the past but be focused on the future so that the indigenous could grow along with the rest of the country and world. He said the indigenous people of north east should imbibe the spirit of Israelites that is – will to survive, will to excel and will to dominate in all activities. “If we imbibe this kind of spirit then there is no reason why indigenous people should worry about their existence or survival,” said Dr. Jamir. Guest of honour of the programme, chief convenor of NEIPF, Anup Chetia, called for unity of indigenous people of north east region to fight against the “infiltrators”. Chetia said the identity of the indigenous people of region was at threat due to the influx of “outsiders” from the mainland country and Bangladesh.
Dimapur, Oct 26 (NPN): With the Naga flag and constitution becoming an issue before inking an early solution to the Naga political issue, the NSCN (I-M) has lauded and appreciated the Naga civil society groups (CSOs) in “rising up to the occasion” when Nagas were confronted with a “tryst with destiny” by making their stand clear in the media. On the other hand, NSCN (I-M), through its MIP, hit out at government of India’s Interlocutor and Nagaland Governor R.N. Ravi whom it accused of going too far “ to underestimate Nagas in taking care of our legitimate historical rights” but that Naga civil society groups “stood up boldly and to prove him (RN Ravi) wrong and to show him to mind his language of divisive tone.” The organization also lauded the civil society organizations for “taming R.N. Ravi to be moderate and not to resort to unethical psychological pressure using threat”. NSCN (I-M) said the (Cont’d on p-7)
ernor, ZB(N) president CR Zeliang and CRF chairman Tadambo demanded that the long delayed demarcation of the Peren district boundary now being undertaken by cabinet sub-committee be expedited taking all stakeholders on board. They demanded that the district administration denying and depriving ST Certificates, BT Certificates or Indigenous Certificates to deserving candidates be stopped forthwith. The declaration adopted at the rally also affirmed that RIIN if applied at per se would be directly violating the traditional and customary rights of the Zellangrong villages in the district against its citizens. It also was a direct violation of the constitution of India Art 371(A) wherein Naga customary practices and its usages are upheld.
Further, they demanded that Zeliangrong citizens of Peren district without a distinction must be accorded equal citizens as sons and daughters of the soil as declared by traditional land owners. The charter points demanded that no cut off year was applicable to recognized villages in Peren district to determine indigenous inhabitants. Meanwhile, as resolved at the public mass rally, a separate representation on the matter of Intangki forest was submitted to the Government of India through the governor of Nagaland. The representation pointed out that even as Naga peace process was likely to culminate into an agreement soon, the general public of Peren district were, however, apprehensive that some negotiating party(ies) appeared to be bargain-
civil society organizations also demonstrated their passion and pride of Nagas’ “unique history and situation and their stand as “crowning glory of our political negotiations with the government of India, to take us where we belong.” NSCN (I-M) said the issue was the “foundation that we have built to take us to the solution that is honourable and acceptable.” NSCN (I-M) further said that the civil society organizations have pointed out that “honourable and acceptable solution means honouring Naga flag and constitution” and where Nagas have not gone for so many years in their political struggle at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives “ for getting economic packages being tabled before the Naga political groups.” It said the civil society organizations had done the right thing to point out where Ravi went wrong by rightfully standing up against economic packages “at the cost of our political rights” adding, it was the way “to defend political

The representation affirmed that the general public of Zeliangrong tribe would never accept any agreement with negotiation party(ies) with a rider pertaining to Ntangki National Park, adding that they would not be a party to any agreement bartering away “our ancestor land for the ease of negotiation at any stage.” Therefore, the representation urged the Government of India to protect and preserve the only forest body and National Park in Naga area. If the matter is not heeded by the Government and ceded the Ntangki National Park in terms of negotiation, the Zeliangrong tribe would have “no option but to protect it dead or alive.”

NSCN (I-M) said Nagas have history to learn from the government of India which “should open pages of the past agreements like Shillong Accord and the 16 Point Agreement”. NSCN (I-M) said the above documents were the “root cause of the present Indo-Naga political problem” and so “historical blunders should not be repeated deliberately.” NSCN (I-M) alleged that Ravi had “failed utterly to consult apex CSOs of Nagas” and wondered if he was “really sincere to find an honourable solution?” It said Nagas have had enough of “divisive politics” and reminded Ravi to “stay clear of playing divisive-based solution”. NSCN (I-M) said Nagas were passing through (Cont’d on p-7)

Swearing-in of Khattar govt today; Sena seeks written assurance from BJP in Maha CHANDIGARH, OCT 26 (PTI): Manohar Lal Khattar is all set to head a new government in Haryana with JJP leader Dushyant Chautala as his deputy after the governor on Saturday invited him to lead the coalition which also has the support of seven independents. Khattar, Dushyant and some ministers will be sworn-in at 2:15 pm at the Haryana Raj Bhavan on Sunday. The day saw fast-paced developments with 65-yearold Khattar unanimously elected leader of the BJP’s legislative party in Haryana after which the BJP along with the support of the JJP and seven independents staked claim before Governor Satyadeo Narain Arya to form the government. Khattar said the governor was informed that a total of 57 MLAs -- 40 of
the BJP, 10 of the JJP and seven Independents -- have come together to form the government. “The governor accepted it and invited us to form the government on Sunday,” Khattar said, adding Dushyant would take oath his deputy. He said the names of the ministers who will also take oath will be made known on Sunday. Dushyant told reporters that the BJP and the JJP have taken a decision to give a stable government for five years. Meanwhile, the Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday demanded a written assurance from its ally BJP for implementing “equal formula for sharing of power” before holding talks on staking the claim to form the next alliance government in Maharashtra, a party MLA said. Newly-elected MLAs
of the Sena, who met Thackeray at his residence in Mumbai, demanded that his son Aaditya Thackeray be made the chief minister in the next government. Thackeray also said he had “other options open” but is not interested in exploring them since the BJP and the Sena are bound by the “Hindutva ideology”, the MLA told PTI. The move to demand written assurance is viewed as a pressure tactic by the Sena in view of the underwhelming performance of the BJP which won 105 seats, a loss of 17 seats compared to its 2014 tally. According to political observers, the subdued performance of the BJP has increased the bargaining power of the Sena whose tally too came down to 56 seats from the 63 in 2014. K Y M C

Staff Reporter DIMAPUR, OCT. 26 (NPN): Dimapur Mangmetong Senso Telongjem (DMST) celebrated its Golden Jubilee, under the theme “Higher Vision through Me (God)”, at Imliyanger Memorial Centre (IMC) on October 26 in Dimapur. Speaking on the celebration theme, Associate Pastor (Mission), KABA, I Zulu Jamir, pointed out that Nagas should not be reluctant to keep their dreams high, as long as they have God. “Irrespective of how high our dreams are, if we only put God first, we will be able to achieve anything”, he added.

COCOMI submits memorandum to Gov & CM
Correspondent
IMPHAL, Oct 26: People of Manipur shall decide their own future if India government fails to respect the history and culture of the state, Co-ordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI) warned in memorandums submitted to the state Governor and chief minister on Saturday. COCOMI submitted the memorandums after a massive rally on the streets in Imphal, cautioning the government of India of any clauses that could distort the unity of Manipur in the agreement to be signed with NSCN(IM). The Centre was slated to wind up the ongoing peace negotiation with Naga rebel groups by October 31 of which interlocutor RN Ravi who is also the Governor of Nagaland had hinted of granting autonomy to Manipur and Arunachal Nagas among others in the proposed agreement. “Any solution to the vexed Naga issue must not be the cost of the existing socio-political and economic as well as the culture of the state. The solution must not affect not only the territorial integrity but also the administrative set up of the state,” COCOMI demanded

in the memorandums. The memorandums were handed over directly by leaders of the COCOMI taking part in the mass rally to the Governor Dr Najma Heptulla and chief minister N Biren Singh after meeting them. The rally kicked started from a public ground at Kwakeithel in Imphal West and culminated at originating place after submission of memorandum to the Governor and chief minister. Taking precedent from Naga solution, there may arises a similar claim from other ethnos which would initiate the “Balkanisation” of Manipur, COCOMI, the conglomerate of major civil society organisations wor-
ried. While reminding the repeated assurances given by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visits in Imphal for his party’s election campaign, COCOMI expressed confidence that the Governor and chief minister will convey the same to Modi. Modi, in his address to a public meeting for the state Assembly elections on February 25, 2017, had declared that Centre’s peace talk with the Nagas will not hurt interest of Manipur. “There is not a single word in the Naga Accord that is detrimental to the interest of the Manipur and its people,” he had assured, the COCOMI claimed in the memorandum.
Similar assurances that Framework Agreement will not hurt the sentiment of Manipuri people, its territorial integrity, and the administrative and cultural integrity of Manipur were also given during election rallies for last Lok Sabha in Imphal on January 4 and April 7, 2019, the COCOMI reminded the Governor and the chief minister. The memorandums were submitted by a ninemember delegation of COCOMI led by its co-ordinator Sunil Karam after the rally was stopped by the police and security forces near the main entrance gate of Raj Bhavan and Chief Minister’s secretariat. After coming out of the
Raj Bhavan, Sunil Karam told reporters that the Governor conveyed to them her concern over the raising apprehensions of the people of the state and assured to convey the same to the Prime Minister. She further told the delegation about her recent meeting with RN Ravi and said that the interlocutor and her counterpart Nagaland Governor also aware of the developing situation in the state. The massive rally today on Saturday was barely three days after a massive spontaneous demonstration of the people had rung the alarm bell not to create problems in Manipur while appeasing NSCN(I-M). COCOMI has been launching a series of protest since October 23 as a part of its public alert meeting campaign asking people to be alert of any clauses that have the potential of distorting the Manipur’s integrity in any form while working out of final solution between GoI and NSCN(IM). After the massive spontaneous demonstration in the heart of Imphal, torch rallies were carried out widely in each locality in Imphal and other valley districts of the state responding to a call given by COCOMI.

of such schools have completed in the region.

‘Mizoram made dumping ground of Kerala BJP leaders’
Aizawl, Oct 26 (PTI): With P S Sreedharan Pillai, BJP president of Kerala, appointed the 15th governor of Mizoram, The Congress and Mizoram’s apex student body Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP) on Saturday said the Centre has made the state a “dumping ground of Kerala BJP leaders”. Pillai was appointed Mizoram governor by President Ram Nath Kovind on Friday. Sources in the Raj Bhavan here said the information about the swearingin of Pillai is awaited. Pillai is the second Kerala BJP state president to be appointed as Mizoram governor after his predecessor Kummanam Rajasekharan had resigned from his post on March 8 to contest the Lok Sabha polls as a candidate of the saffron party after serving in Mizoram for 10 months. “As the BJP is failing to influence the people of Mizoram, it is trying to enter the state through back door by using the governors,” state Congress spokesperson Lallianchhunga said. MZP president L Ramdinliana Renthlei, on the other hand, said
P S Sreedharan Pillai
while the student body welcomes the appointment of a “regular governor”, it does not want the state to be used as a “dumping ground of governors”. “We do not want the Raj Bhavan at Aizawl to be a musical chair of the politicians,” he said. UPA-appointed governor Vakkom B Purushothaman had resigned on July 11, 2014 after he was transferred to Nagaland. Purushothaman was replaced by Kamla Beniwal who was sacked by the Centre in August that year. Since then over the past five years Mizoram has had eight governors -- including three who had taken additional charge. None of them completed their terms. Prior to the appointment of Pillai, Assam Governor Jagdish Mukhi was holding additional charge of Mizoram since March.

Rousing welcome to Cong leader Convict Ajay Chautala given furlough for 2 weeks Shivakumar in Karnataka
About 500 supporters, including state Congress leaders, greeted him at the airport and accompanied him in a convoy to the party office.
Bengaluru, Oct 26 (IANS): Congress leader D.K. Shivakumar, 57, returned to a rousing welcome at the city airport on Saturday, nearly two months after he flew to Delhi on being summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case, a party official said. For mer Kar nataka Chief Minister and Janata Dal-Secular leader H.D. Kumaraswamy and Congress leaders from Kanakapura, his home constituency, were present at the airport. “About 500 supporters, including state Congress leaders, greeted him at the airport and accompanied him in a convoy to the party office. There he was accorded a hero’s welcome,” party
spokesman Ravi Gowda told IANS. Shivakumar was released from Tihar Jail after 50 days on Thursday on a conditional bail, granted by the Delhi High Court. He was in custody in connection with a case under the Prevention Money Laundering Act (PMLA) 2002, filed on a complaint by the Income-Tax Department, which had seized Rs 8.6 crore cash from his flat in New Delhi in August 2017. “The central government misused law enforcing agencies, like the ED, the I-T Department and the Central Bureau of Investigation to harass our senior leader Shivakumar,” said state Congress chief Dinesh Gundurao.
The Karnataka High Court on August 29 rejected Shivakumar’s plea for interim protection against arrest in a ‘hawala’ case. The alleged money laundering came to light after raids by the tax sleuths his premises in Bengaluru, Kanakapura and New Delhi on August 2, 2017. Cases were filed against him and four others under sections 277 and 278 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, and sections 120(B), 193 and 199 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Shivakumar was a Cabinet Minister in the previous JD-S-Congress coalition government (May 2018-July 2019) and Energy Minister in the Congress government (2013-2018).
New Delhi, Oct 26 (IANS): A day after Dushyant Chautala clinched an alliance with Manohar Lal Khattar to form a new government in Haryana, his former’s father Ajay Chautala, who is lodged in the Tihar Jail in a corruption case, was given furlough for two weeks. Sandeep Goel, the Director General of Tihar Prisons, told IANS: “We have given two weeks furlough to the convict Ajay Chautala. He had applied for the furlough a few days ago to attend a ritual to be held in remembrance of his mother’s death.” Goel added that this was the second time that Ajay Chautala had applied for a furlough. Earlier this year, he had gone for a threeweek furlough. A convict is entitled to seven-week furloughs in a year. The Director General of Tihar Prisons is the final authority to grant it to the convicts. However, it was reported that Ajay Chautala wants to attend his son Dushyant’s swearing-in ceremony as Deputy Chief Minister of Haryana. The Dushyant Chautala-led Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) clinched an alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to form a new government in Haryana. The Jannayak Janata Party, which has won 10 seats in the 90-member Assembly, has reached a deal with the BJP to form the

government in the state wherein the Chief Minister will be from the Bharatiya Janata Party, while the post of Deputy Chief Minister will go to Jannayak Janata Party. The coalition was announced by Bharatiya Janata Party president Amit Shah at a press conference held with Jannayak Janata Party leader Dushyant Chautala on Friday. In February 2013, former Haryana Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala, his MLA son Ajay Chautala and three government officials were sentenced to 10 years in prison by a special CBI court on charges of illegally recruiting over 3,000 teachers in the state by using forged documents. The scam came to light after a 1989 batch IAS officer Sanjeev Kumar had filed a writ in the Supreme Court alleging that the Om Prakash Chautala government had resorted to corrupt practices to recruit 3208 junior basic trained teachers in 2000.

Security forces ready to foil Pak designs to create unrest in Kashmir: Madhav
Jammu, Oct 26 (PTI): BJP general secretary Ram Madhav on Saturday said security forces are fully geared to foil Pakistan’s design to create trouble in Kashmir and deal with militants who are trying to destroy Kashmiriyat by targeting outsiders. Defending the scrapping of Article 370, Madhav said PM Narendra Modi’s “well thought-out” decision will not be revoked as it has been done for the betterment of the people of J&K who have remained deprived of their various rights for the past 70 years under the garb of this constitutional provision. “Pakistan is continuing its efforts to create unrest in the valley but our security forces will frustrate all its attempts,” the BJP leader told reporters on the sidelines of a seminar organised by his party on “accession day” here. Asked about frequent ceasefire violations by Pakistan, he said necessary security arrangements are in place to scuttle its attempts to foment trouble in the valley. Addressing the seminar, he said the militants are
Vasundhara Raje helped Cong: Beniwal Jaipur, Oct (PTI): BJP ally Hanuman Beniwal alleged on Friday that former chief minister Vasundhara Raje has helped the Congress candidate in Khisnwar bypoll, a day after his brother won the assembly seat by a slender margin. Beniwal, convenor of the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party and the MP from Nagaur, also accused former state minister Yunus Khan of aiding the Congress in the bypoll, in a tweet tagging BJP chief Amit Shah, working president JP Nadda and state chief Satish Poonia. He also tagged Raje in the tweet, demanding strong action against the two BJP leaders. His brother Narayan Beniwal was the BJP-RLP alliance candidate and defeated Congress’s Harendra Mirdha. Beniwal further alleged that Raje and Khan had also helped the Congress candidate in the Nagaur seat during the Lok Sabha polls when the RLP and the BJP fought the election in alliance.

destroying the “beauty of Kashmiriyat” by targeting traders and truckers from outside the state but security forces will not allow such activities and will deal with them strictly. “The militants are trying to scare away and frighten businessmen who have come to Jammu and Kashmir for trade. They are only harming the interests of the people of Kashmir and destroying Kashmiriyat,” he said, responding to a question about recent attacks on non-local truckers and traders in south Kashmir. In the last 11 days, terrorists in south kashmir have killed five non-Kashmiris, including an apple trader and three truck drivers who were transporting apples.
They also burnt several trucks. Greeting the people of Jammu and Kashmir on the eve of Diwali festival, he said this will be the first Diwali after abrogation of Article 370 which led to the complete integration of Jammu and Kashmir with India. “It was a well thoughtout decision taken by the BJP under the leadership of Modi. The decision was not based on political consideration or ideological basis but it was meant to restore various rights to the people of J&K who were deprived of political, fundamental and democratic rights besides the right to dignity over the last seven decades,” he said. He said the people who are in mourning about the scrapping of special status would not achieve anything because “this article will not make a come back”. “It was a historic blunder committed by former PM Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru in collusion with (National Conference founder) Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah. It was a political conspiracy to deprive ordinary people of their rights,” Madhav said.
Ex-BSF soldier quits JJP, says it’s ‘B-team’ of BJP Chandigarh, Oct 26 (PTI): Former BSF soldier Tej Bahadur Yadav quit the Jannayak Janta Party on Saturday, accusing it of betraying the Haryana voters by extending support to the BJP in forming the government. Yadav, who was dismissed from the Border Security Force in 2017 after he posted a video complaining about the quality of food served to the troops, had joined the JJP for contesting the assembly election against Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar from the Karnal seat. He came third with 3,175 votes. “Before the election, I had announced that if they tie up with the BJP, I will quit the JJP,” Yadav told PTI. The former BSF soldier slammed the Dushyant Chautala-led party for extending support to the BJP in forming the government, saying it was clear now that the JJP was the “B-team” of the saffron party. “They betrayed the voters by supporting the BJP,” he said. Yadav claimed that the JJP announced to support

the BJP by itself despite the latter having not sought it. “They should make it public whether they got money or anything else in return for supporting the saffron party,” he said. “The public, which gave votes to the JJP, has been opposing the JJP’s move. A large number of supporters have been burning their flags and effigies ever since they announced to support the BJP,” he added. The BJP staked claim to form the government in Haryana after the JJP offered support to the saffron party, which fell short of a majority in the assembly election.

For an organic revolution
T
here is growing demand for organically produced foods is increasing rapidly. Evolving consumer buying habits, growing consumers' concerns regarding health, the environment, and animal welfare, along with their willingness to pay premium price for healthy food is fuelling the demand of organic food market. Also, government authorities, NGOs, and farmer organizations in developing countries are promoting organic farming by financial support, market information, and trends in organic food market. Global organic food market is undergoing a massive technological innovation over the last couple of years. Manufacturers invest in research and technical development and investigative activities to improve existing products and procedures to develop new products. Research and development will lead to development of new product to improve the quality and functionality by including better formulations. The organic products market in India has been growing at a Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25 per cent and it is expected to touch Rs.10,000-Rs.12,000 crore by 2020 from the current market size of Rs. 4,000 crore, according to a report produced jointly by Assocham and Ernst & Young. India’s share in the $100 billion global organic food market is less than 0.2 percent. As mentioned above, the scale of the opportunity is also driven by the increasing variety of organic foods hitting the market and the emergence of ecommerce as a channel in which to sell the product. India has substantial potential for expansion of organic agriculture owing to many factors, including favourable agro-climatic conditions. Hilly and rain-fed areas of the country such as the North Eastern Region and Deccan Plateau traditionally practice low input agriculture and are therefore more amenable to the switch to organic agriculture. Much has been said about the north east as having a huge potential for organic farming but despite this recognition, much is left to be desired in terms of reaching the desired goal. Considering that there is nearly 5.5 million hectares of cultivated land available in the North-East, organic farming barely covers 3 per cent of arable land. Among the north eastern states, Sikkim had already been declared as an organic state in 2016 and has 75000 hectares of land under organic cultivation; while Meghalaya has an ambitious plan to convert 2,00,000 hectare into organic farmland by 2020. Nagaland is reported to have 6000 hectares certified as organic and 7000 hectare under conversion with compliance to National programme for organic production by OneCert International Pvt. Ltd as certifying agency. The major crops identified for organic farming include- ginger, large cardamom, rajma, brown rice, king chilli, fruits and vegetables. According to reports, Nagaland has potential for promotion of organic farming as farmers has been practicing traditional system of agricultural without the use of external inputs since its inception. Nagaland state has very low consumption of agro chemical pesticides and fertilizers which is only about 1.5 kg per hectare. The present agricultural practice of Nagaland is organic by default, as the state and the region did not make impact by the wave of green revolution across India. To make any headway, there is need to seriously promote organic farming as the main agricultural activity and also to provide adequate subsidy funding to farmers. Government departments responsible also need to provide quality organic seeds and other assistances such as package and storage to promote organic farmers.
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.

Post-mortem Nagas’ Mind on Solution
A new power equation I E lection season comes full circle once again in India five months after general election as the latest round of states’ assembly election produces yet another inconclusive verdict with the ruling saffron party along with its ally Shiv Sena barely managing to retain the India’s second most electorally crucial state of Maharashtra and came within touching distance of majority mark in Haryana placing them in a strong wicket for forming government although this will happen only if they can find a new allies in the state. Thanks to the great India’s democratic institution that provides political platform to its citizens to assess the performance of the government at the centre as well as the states, the people of the state of Maharashtra and Haryana uses the same platform, through which the people of India gave resounding mandate to BJP led NDA in May this year to rule the country for another five years period, to give strong notice to the saffron regime that the party cannot take people for a ride, reminding that the real political power belongs to the people and it is only through the people that any political parties can derive its strength. And this place India among only a few countries in the world where a unique peoplecentered political system is the only political order that govern the life of the nation. While the success of the Indian democratic tradition that overcome all odds in the last seven decades is paramount providing to its citizens the freedom of choice and expression, what is troubling the country, among others, is the unending election cycles that the country has to endure without any significant time break. As the effort to create political consensus/agreement for conducting simultaneous polls for both the states and centre has so far failed, this prevailing electoral phenomena in the country will meant that the government at the centre, along with the election commission, within the given five years term has the responsibility of successfully conducting at least two states election in every two months covering twenty eight states and three union territories across India. This electoral exercise at regular interval forced government and political parties to focus extensively on politics leaving no time and
O
space for concentrating on providing good governance to the people. This unending election cycles, and the relentless efforts by the political parties for winning every elections eventually make way for an unhealthy trend where elections are contested on the platform of narrow politics of numbers, communalism, polarization and appeasement just for the sake of winning votes and in the process tragically setting aside the political narrative of good governance and development. The question of electoral reforms in the country should include how to do away with this trend of unending election cycles. As for the latest elections’ verdict, this is the ruling BJP failing the first test in its crucial battle for electoral consolidation across the country. The party managing to win one state and finding itself in better place to form government in another, thereby keeping the momentum of wining, should not surprise the readers of Indian politics and the political pundits. What is an unexpected outcome is the margin under which the party performs. Forget about different exit polls’ projection; contesting the elections during the best of its time after sweeping the national election just five months back and disorientation within the ranks in the oppositions’ camp, these two states elections should be a walkover for the ruling party, and this very election provide best opportunity for the party to assert its electoral superiority over its opponents. Had the oppositions’ camp, particularly the Congress, put up cohesive contest identifying local leaders to lead the battle, the verdict would have been a real shocker for the ruling saffron regime. Nevertheless the verdict is a humbling experience for the BJP. It creates a new power equation that would force the party to work together with its allies, not just in these two states but even at New Delhi, as a responsible major ruling party under the democratic spirit of consultation, accommodation and inclusiveness. The verdict had at least for some time dramatically halted the BJP’s ambition for dominating the country’s electoral politics. The most interesting characteristic of this election’s mandate is the absence of cry and accusation over the question of an alleged EVM manipulation and tampering charge against the ruling party by the oppositions. With the BJP per-
forming poorly and the oppositions’ performance exceeding beyond expectation, the allegation about EVM manipulation influencing the outcome of election didn’t arise this time. It should be an electoral lesson for the oppositions that election is not won on the platform of cheap and immature propagandas, like when BJP won it is because EVM is manipulated and when BJP loses and its opponents perform better then EVM is fine. And that it is only with its own strength and by presenting a consistent and viable political alternative to the nation can it win an election in their favour. The verdict sends positive feelers to the oppositions’ camp that the BJP and the much hype Modi-Shah’s electoral winning machine is not something unbeatable. If an electoral performance like this, coming just few months after general election, could trouble the ruling party then the oppositions can take them on any political turf and any time beat the so called invincible spell possess by the current BJP’s dispensation. The oppositions have many reasons to read this latest electoral verdict as a sign of their long road to political revival while the BJP is expected to turn more aggressive in the coming days in order to maintain the wining momentum as the country heads for another series of states elections, the next phase being in the cow-belt Hindi heartland states. A nation like India, a rainbow nation and a land of minorities, defined by linguistic, religious, regional, racial and ethnic diversities, a fractured mandate like this latest one with multiple political parties sharing the spoils, and which makes way for multi-party coalition government both at the centre and the states should be the spirit and character of country’s electoral politics. And it is only in this common coalition platform can it confronts effectively a majoritarian form of democracy and politics popularize by anti-secular Sangh forces which is antithetical to the idea of India. The platform will also help accommodate the voice and the interest of every section of the society and create a perfect political ground towards making India as a successful nation.

Where are we heading?
bserving the whole scenario of the ongoing Naga political talks, one may say that it has reached a very critical point where the fate of the Nagas are to be decided by signing the final political agreement. Opinions still appear to be divided among the Nagas and bulk of the people seems confused, with one group ready to ink the final agreement and one group on the other end reluctant to sign the final agreement without a flag and constitution. It's NSCN-IM vs the NNPGs on the fray. This seems to have given a favoring circumstance to the Government of India to further divide the Nagas as it is evident from the attitude of the Indian Government. The Govt. of India now trying to condition the Naga negotiators is something distasteful and far from the principles of peace process.This has also created chaos and tensions among the Nagas so to say. Whatever may be the case, i'm in no way going to stress much on history and what-not sort of controversies arising out of the ongoing Naga political talks at this juncture. Much has been said about its pros and cons and i'm sure most people are already aware by now. For this reason, I want to rather make my arguments very specific.First things first, I want our leaders to know that the decision they are going to take today is going to decide the future of the Nagas, especially the youths who will continue to live and carry forward the Naga freedom struggle even after they are long gone. Therefore, they should know that this fight is not just for themselves but so much so for their Children and genera-
tions to come and any unwise decision on their part would be most unfortunate. From this perspective, i want to put forth two significant points i.e 1.Any decision should be farsighted and admissible to all the Nagas. 2. Under no circumstance, any solution arriving out of the political settlement should put the rights of the Nagas at stake. In the event of any untoward eventuality, the ultimate blame will be on the leaders who are spearheading the Naga movement. In fact, I so hope that our leaders have not forgotten where we started. Our struggle does not just mean economic solution. Our struggle is a struggle of freedom and right to self determination. In this sense, our sovereignty, our rights, the struggle of our freedom fighters and untold miseries suffered by the Nagas at the mercy of the Indians in the past can never be compensated with mere economic package and financial assistance. However, with some leaders hurrying to ink the final agreement compromising the rights of the Nagas left me thinking if the whole struggle is for sovereignty or mere economic package and monetary gain. Where is our dignity? At this juncture,it is erroneous on the part of the Govt. of India to come to any conclusion by taking only some few people on board as primary stakeholders and without consulting all the stakeholders in general who are still not crystal clear about the agreement. And it is more unfortunate with Naga negotiators and civil society groups doing little or nothing about it.If at all our leaders happen to go
ahead without considering this ground reality, we are likely to end up in distressing situation with another decades of bloodshed and turmoil, which is unthinkable.Therefore, enough time should be given to the negotiating parties to go back to the roots for consulting the stakeholders and come back with a majority will if at all the agreement is to be signed. As a concerned youth, it pains me to see this whole scenario of fear, uncertainty and disunity crippling the Nagas. It pains me that many people are such hypocrites who are leading the Nagas to a breaking point. I fear that our history and identity will perish if things are not set right at this point in time. It is unimaginable for the next generation to restart all over again to fight for their rights without knowing their history. By the time the next generation take over, our historical and political identity may vanish into the air. I just hope this will not happen as projected. God forbid. Therefore, in the midst of a critical situation as this, I want to appeal to all the Naga leaders to come together as one irrespective of territorial differences and protect the rights of the Nagas without shying away from the reality. More so, by keeping in mind that sovereignty is at the core of the hearts of every Naga.It is my plea to all our leaders not to live for themselves but live for their children and generations to come so that our aspirations are achieved in its true sense of the term.Let wisdom prevail in our land.

t is becoming more interesting to witness the 100-meter race between NNPGs and 14 tribes of Nagaland along with some state politicians, intellectuals and individuals for solution on 31stof October 2019. Sooner or later Ravi is likely to select and declare best of the best runners regardless of who runs first or last. Families, relatives, clans, villagers and friends of those participants become the busiest persons in the history of long-independent struggle with 24*7 phone calls, text messages, public interviews and door- to- door campaign for their beloved participants’ status after solution. I was more interested at first thinking that I would get special attention from negotiators with handsome Job after solution but to my surprise the grass-root people from eastern are more intellectual and realistic than those who talk and read. Everyone’s response was, ‘ if it is not for Independence, then Statehood demand should be our firm stand; who will suffer again’?. People went on to say, ‘ we are being neglected by state Government, we are being neglected even in Naga political struggle, making us only to be blamed but leaving almost all our high- ranking officers and Kilonsers without portfolios. There are many more of such things to list, but I leave them for readers to think. My question is : ‘ Who will earn the title of Naga Political betrayal if the political solution is to be worked out verbally and not with written Agreement that Naga Flag and Naga constitution will be legally recognized after certain period of time, say 5 years, 10 years etc..? The branded title will be earned by Konyak people since most of the Presidents and Vice Presidents are from Konyak tribe as of now. It is clear because none of them talks but all have become the victims of the repeated histories if it so happens this time again. Many of us might have
different versions of Naga Political history, from listening to our elders or from the books written about it. As for me, I began to learn and hear from our elders that majority of Nagas betrayed and surrendered our history and independence to GoI again and again. Bu it is still alive because of Eastern people who did not surrender Naga Independence history to India and because of the commitment given by our Tangkhul brethren. What, if leaders of 14 tribes serve referendum to all the Naga Negotiators to come, solve the issues, and come out with a resolution which will be best for the Nagas today and for generations to come? Instead, we are more inclined to making allegations against one another on tribal line e.g. ‘ Tangkhul will claim Intangki forest, we must chase them out from Nagaland’. If solution is to be signed even without a formal guaranteed Agreement, then the Eastern and the Southern common people will suffer again among other Nagas. Why? Because, revolution will start again from our Land because of the geographical location. Bloody battles will take place and common People of those areas will be subjected to torture and inhuman treatment by both the Indian Armed forces and by Naga Revolutionaries. Many will be forcibly recruited, our mothers and Sisters will be raped, our fathers and elders will be tortured, our houses and fields destroyed etc.. If we don’t realise now, these things are bound to happen. We have suffered more than any other Nagas; we have given enough of our best sacrifices for the sake of all Nagas at the expense of our own wellbeing. Therefore, think carefully and realistically, and grasp an opportunity this time, to decide and express what is best for you and your future generations. Bechung Konyak, (bechungkonyak92@gmail.com)

Nagas should look beyond special "Economic Packages "
Sir,
At this crucial juncture when the six decades long Naga issue is drawing towards an anticipated solution, we should be wary of the proposed special "Economic Packages" that is rumoured to be part of the peace process. It is very easy for us to get tempted and be carried away by all these freebies. History is witness to the special "Economic Packages" spoiling the Naga society and drifting us away from the culture of hard earned honest money. The struggle of the Nagas for self determination has witness several dynamic, tall and bold leaders, most of whom have committed the supreme and ultimate sacrifice for the cause. At the same time, sadly, we have also witnessed several "opportunistic leaders", who has fallen for the lust of easy monetary gains in the guise of "national duty", thereby tarnishing the image of the real heroes of the cause. If there is a solution tomorrow, our leaders should look beyond the special "economic packages" and the lure of "posts, positions and titles" and grab the God given opportunity to mend our society that has degraded on all fronts - most notably our moral values. Temsu Pongen, Dimapur.
Sir,
Lost of values and identity
Today we Nagas are moving ahead into a world of modernity and westernization. We are highly qualified, easily accessible to the most sophisticated technology, developing from every field of life especially in education and technology. Development is supposed to be for the betterment of mankind but we have destroy our very culture and identity using the name of development. People are highly educated, holding the highest degree but lacks in values. Language is the identity of man and we are loosing that identity. We have kill our originality and meaning of values. We are moving about like an empty vessel with no values and identity to uphold one’s standard. When we ourselves have lost our very identity what identity do we intend to give to our children? While learning and adopting others culture we have forgot to learn our own. We lack fluency in speaking our own language. We don’t have the confidence to speak about our own culture. What’s the use of being well dressed in suit highly modernised and qualified when we have no identity? It is the choice of ours whether to move towards modernity with or without identity. Let’s rethink and revive, promote and preserve our culture and language. Our culture and our very own identity is at stake. Ashene Latsatiiomai, Ikishe Model Village, Dimapur

Odisha rain toll increases to six
Bhubaneswar, Oct 26 (PTI): The toll in the heavy rains in Odisha has mounted to six with three fresh deaths reported from the districts, officials said Saturday. The state has been battered by heavy rains since October 23 under the impact of a low pressure area over Bay of Bengal. It claimed human lives, caused extensive damage to crops and properties, threw life out of gear in many districts, caused severe waterlogging and local flooding in low-lying areas. The three fresh deaths were reported from Ganjam, Kendrapara and Mayurbhanj districts since Friday, officials said. A ten-month-old boy was killed and his parents injured after a mud wall of their house collapsed at Bajraguma village in Ganjam district on Friday, while an 85-year-old man died in a similar incident at Aul area of Kendrapara district, they said. Wall collapse caused by intermittent heavy rains also claimed the life of a woman aged around 50 years in Rasgovindpur area of Mayurbhanj district, they said. Three others were killed on Thursday in the
utensils in addition to the prescribed house building expenses, the SRC said. Expeditious steps may also be taken for sanction and payment of ex-gratia
from the available funds to the next of kin of the persons who have lost their lives without waiting for allotment from the SRC, he added.

districts of Puri, balasore and Keonjhar districts, the officials said. The state special relief commissioner P K Jena has asked district collectors to immediately assess the damage to private properties such as houses and agriculture caused by the heavy rains in the state and finalise the list of beneficiaries by November 4 so that assistance as per the SDRF norms can be paid to the affected expeditiously. He said the Odisha government has already declared heavy rain as state specific disaster within the local context for which expenditure on relief measures and immediate repair/restoration of damaged public infrastructure shall be met
from State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF). Te a m s c o m p r i s i n g members from departments concerned would be formed for the purpose and crop loss assessment must be carried out by the joint teams consisting of revenue, agriculture and horticulture personnel, he said. The supervising staff will conduct test checks to ensure correctness in assessment, while photographic evidence of the beneficiary concerned along with the damaged houses at the background is mandatory, Jena said. In case of houses fully damaged or severely inundated for more than two days, the affected households may be provided with assistance for clothing and
B e n g a lu ru, O c t 26 (IANS): The cyclonic storm Kyarr may dampen Diwali festivities as the weather office has forecast heavy rains and gusty winds in Karnataka on Sunday. “The westward moving cyclonic storm Kyarr will hit the state on Sunday with heavy rains and thunder showers in the coastal and south interior areas, disrupting normal life for the next two days,” Karnataka state natural disaster monitoring centre director G.S. Srinivas Reddy told IANS, here on Saturday. The state government has declared red alert in the coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada and holiday for schools and colleges on Saturday as moderate to heavy rains lashed the region and flooded low-laying areas, throwing normal life out of gear.
“Kayarr is likely to mar the festival with heavy rains and strong winds over the next 24-48 hours in south interior, north interior and coastal areas,” Reddy said. The moisture content and heating of the atmosphere may set off thunder showers and strong winds in many parts of the state. “A new weather system is developing in Sri Lanka, but may not affect Karnataka as much as Kerala and Tamil Nadu,” Reddy said. The government has advised fishermen not venture into the sea, which will remain rough and choppy. Since October 18, 21 have people died due to strong winds, floods, wall collapses, drowning and uprooted trees. Besides death of 171 cattle, 14,680 houses were damaged and 5,450 people sheltered in relief camps.
Dushyant’s security Dr. Jamir expounds on handling RIIN beefed up in Haryana
Dushyant Chautala (File)
Chandigarh, Oct 26 (IANS): JJP chief Dushyant Chautala’s security was intensified on Saturday after his party entered into a post-poll alliance with the BJP to claim formation of the government for a second consecutive term in Haryana. The security was beefed up at his residences in Sirsa and Hisar towns. The Bharatiya Janata Party, which is six short of a majority of 46 seats in a 90-member Assembly, on
Friday night sealed the deal for government formation with the Jannayak Janata Party with its leader Dushyant or his mother Naina Chautala as the Deputy Chief Minister. The announcement of the post-poll alliance was announced by Home Minister and BJP President Amit Shah at his residence in New Delhi. “The two parties have decided to form the government to respect the mandate of the people. It has been decided that the Chief Minister will be from the BJP and the Deputy Chief Minister from the JJP,” Shah said. On his part, Dushyant said his party has decided to support the BJP “for the stability of the government in Haryana”. The JJP, which broke away from the state’s once major regional Indian National Lok Dal owing to family disputes, won 10 seats, while the Congress won 31 seats.
(From p-1) He also warned the people about the contentious Citizen Amendment Bill (CAB) 2016 saying that if the Bill was passed than “Hindu migrants would settle in our land”. Chetia said the forum’s objective was to fight for the indigenous people of the north east region so as to protect their culture, identity and language. Another speaker, Khekiye Sema drew similarity between the “Red Indians” (Native Americans) – the indigenous people of the United States – to that of Nagas of Nagaland. As similar to western civilisation which took over the indigenous culture of Native Americans, Khekiye said Nagas have lost the oral history which was passed down by their ancestors from generation to generation until the Christianity and the written script came into being. “We call ourselves the indigenous people but we are half a man compared to
our ancestors in every good quality that they had as non Christians. We, as Christians, do not even measure up to half of their good value system they live by. I am afraid we people are lost people”, said Khekiye. Deliberating on Article 371 (A), Khekiye lauded Dr.S.C Jamir and his generation of Nagas of being visionary. Khekiye said everybody takes a “pot-shot” at 16-point agreement but reminded that Article 371 (A) is the consequent result of the agreement and constitutionally protects the Nagas of Nagaland. “This is the elementary protection that the indigenous people would want to ensure that our future cannot be contaminated by other kind of civilization”, said Khekiye. However, he lamented that the Nagas have not been able to utilise the Article for their benefit saying, “Government of India has given us a dao (machete) so that we can clear our path to the
future instead we are using that dao to cut our own limbs.” Khekiye also spoke on the ongoing Naga Peace Process and asserted that Nagas must be given time to understand the ongoing negotiations before the final agreement. “We want to know exact demands of the Naga Political Groups. Issue such as this deals with your future and the future of your children and nobody can decide that for us. We need to know what the future is being craved out for us”, said Khekiye. The launching programme began with an invocation by Dimapur Baptist Pastor Fellowship president, Rev. Tenga Seb, welcome address by NIPF convenor, advocate P Pius Lotha and launching of NIPF by the guest of honour and speakers. Highlights of the programme include cultural presentation and dances from Sumi, Ao, Chakhesang and Kachari cultural troupes

Stunned by rout in bypolls, BSP struggles to save core voters Lu c k n ow, O c t 2 6 (IANS): The Bahujan Samaj Party, which won 10 Lok Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh May this year, has been handed a washout by the voters in the Assembly bypolls. Of its 11 candidates, five candidates could not even open their accounts in the bypolls, and six lost their deposits. With this disastrous perfor mance, the BSP, which was dreaming of making a political comeback in the 2022 Assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh, now seems struggling to save its core voter base in the state. Not just UP, the BSP candidates could also not open their accounts in Maharashtra and Haryana, where party supremo Mayawati herself campaigned. To retain deposit, a candidate must secure 16.66 per cent of the total votes polled. In UP however, the BSP candidates got 2.14 per cent votes in Rampur, 9.64 per cent votes in Lucknow Cantt, 8.21 per cent votes in Zaidpur, 4.52 per cent votes in Govind Nagar, 14.37 per cent votes in Gangoh and 12.74 per cent votes in

our 18 per cent vote bank is now the biggest challenge before us, if we want to win the next Assembly elections. Behenji and the party workers must come out and start working on the ground if the BSP has to survive,” said a senior BSP leader. “Mayawati will have to understand that ‘firman culture’ does not work anymore, anywhere, especially in politics. The voters and the supporters, both want direct communication with their leaders. Leaders, who only raise slogans and make speech, are not preferred any more. Unless it gets down to the earth, the elephant may lose the ground beneath its feet,” said political analyst Prem Shankar Mishra.

Pratapgarh. Not only did it come third in Balha, considered a rather safe seat, its vote share elsewhere was 5 per cent less than that of the SP. While the SP got 22.47 per cent votes, the BSP had to content itself with just 17%. This is a big jolt to the BSP, which severed its alliance with the SP post the Lok Sabha elections in which it walked away with 10 seats while the SP could score just 5. The Mayawatiled party was next aspiring to regain its number 2 position in the state. “Not only have we been outnumbered by the SP, but also by the Congress, which is non-existent in UP.

1.08 lakh crores ($15.26 billion) investment in the new digital company into equity, the oil-to-retail conglomerate said in a statement. The new unit will, in turn, invest the funds in Jio, making the telecoms venture almost net debt free by the end of March 2020. The new digital services company — which also includes Jio’s news, movie and music apps — will also acquire Reliance’s equity investment of Rs. 65,000 crores in Jio. “Given the reach and scale of our digital ecosystem, we have received strong interest from potential strategic partners,” Reliance Chairman Ambani said in the statement. “We will induct the right partners in our platform company, creating and unlocking meaningful value for RIL shareholders.”

M um b ai , O c t 2 6 (Agencies): Reliance Industries said it would invest nearly $15 billion to create a digital services company as it seeks to cut debt at its telecom venture, potentially making way for the entry of a strategic investor. Controlled by billionaire Mukesh Ambani, Reliance’s debt burden has risen significantly since its telecoms unit Jio Infocomm entered India’s crowded mobile market in late 2016 offering free voice calls and cut-price data to build a massive consumer base. The price war unleashed by Jio forced rivals to consolidate, driving companies such as Reliance Communications, controlled by Ambani’s younger brother, and Aircel out of business. Reliance Industries will have rights to convert its Rs.

statement. “We will engage with the DoT in order for it to consider granting relief, including a waiver of interest and penalties.” Both Vodafone Idea and Bharti sparred for over a decade with the DoT over the definition of socalled adjusted gross revenue (AGR), a percentage of which they pay as usage charges for spectrum or airwaves and as licence fees. The companies maintained that AGR should comprise only revenue accrued from core services and not other revenue such as income from the sale of mobile phones, income from rent of property or the sale of scrap. The Supreme Court however upheld the DoT’s view that all revenue be included in AGR. On Friday, shares in Vodafone Idea closed 5.6 per cent lower, while Bharti gained 0.8 per cent in a broader Mumbai market
pared to the corresponding period last year. Even suburban rail travel figures showed a decline of 1.13 per cent during this period, as compared to last year. The railways has initiated a slew of measures to counter the slowdown. It recently waived its “busy season” surcharge on freight traffic, introduced a scheme offering a concession of up to 25 per cent on trains with air-conditioned chair car and executive class sitting and launched initiatives to phase out 30-year-old diesel engines, cut down on fuel bills, generate non-fare revenue and monetise its land holdings. Last month, in a letter, the Railway Board urged all the 17 zones to take measures to counter the slowdown. “The dip in freight loading is a cause of worry. While the flooding of coal mines has affected coal loading, the economic slowdown has affected the steel and cement sectors. However, we have taken measures to offset such losses and we will come out stronger,” a senior railway official said.

NEW DELHI, Oct 26 (Agencies): Loss-making mobile carrier Vodafone Idea on Friday said it will ask the central government for relief on payments of at least $4 billion after a court ruling required it to pay overdue levies and interest. Supreme Cour t on Thursday upheld a demand by the country’s Department of Telecommunications (DoT) that wireless carriers pay nearly $13 in overdue levies and interest. It also asked telecom companies to deposit the outstanding amount within three months. Vodafone Idea and rival Bharti Airtel reported losses for the quarter to June, hit by a price war that began after conglomerate Reliance Industries launched its Jio telecom arm in 2016 with free voice and cut-price data services. “The judgment has financial implications, which we are reviewing,” Vodafone Idea said in a
that ended flat. Vodafone Idea will be the worst hit given its already stretched balance sheet, local brokerage ICICI Securities said. The company, a combination of Britain’s Vodafone Group Plc and local Idea Cellular, made a consolidated net loss of Rs. 4,874 crore ($687.68 million) in the quarter to June, and had gross debt of Rs. 1.2 lakh crore. Bharti Airtel, which owes over Rs. 21,600 crore to the DoT, reported a net loss of Rs. 2,866 crore at the end of the June quarter, while net debt was Rs. 1.17 lakh crore.

67 killed in anti-Abiy protests in Ethiopia
Addis Ababa, Oct 26 (AFP): Violence in Ethiopia that began with protests against Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and quickly morphed into ethnic clashes has left 67 people dead in Oromia state, a police official said Friday. The spike in the death toll came as the high-profile activist at the centre of the violence accused Abiy, this year’s Nobel Peace Prize laureate, of acting like a dictator and suggesting he might challenge him in elections planned for next year. “The total number dead in Oromia is 67,” said Kefyalew Tefera, the regional police chief, adding that five of the dead were police officers. Violence erupted in Addis Ababa, the capital, and in much of Ethiopia’s Oromia region on Wednesday after the activist, Jawar Mohammed, accused security forces of trying to orchestrate an attack against him -- a claim police officials denied. Kefyalew told AFP that the violence had ended in Oromia but Amnesty

International researcher Fisseha Tekle said late Friday that he was still receiving reports of attacks. The defence ministry said Friday that it was deploying forces to seven hotspots to restore order, according to the state-affiliated Fana Broadcasting Corporate. Jawar is credited with promoting protests that swept Abiy to power last year but he has recently be-
come critical of some of the premier’s policies. In an interview at his residence in Addis Ababa, Jawar told AFP that Abiy named Nobel Peace laureate two weeks ago - seemed to be taking Ethiopia back to “the old ways” of authoritarian rule. “He has resorted to the early signs of dictatorship, of trying to intimidate people, even his very close allies who helped him come
to power who happen to disagree with some of the policies and positions and ideologies he’s advocating,” Jawar said. “Intimidation is the start of authoritarian rule.” Both men are members of the Oromo ethnic group, Ethiopia’s largest. Their feud highlights divisions within Abiy’s Oromo support base that could complicate his bid for a fiveyear term when Ethiopia
votes in elections currently planned for May 2020. Jawar said that running against Abiy was “one possibility,” though he also said he could be convinced to back Abiy if he changes course. “I want to have an active role in the coming election. In what capacity I’m not sure but I want to make sure that the influence I have in the country has a positive contribution,” he said. After two days of violent protests, tensions had cooled Friday in Addis Ababa, although the total damage inflicted by the unrest was still being tallied. Fisseha of AI said the violence had included instances of security forces opening fire on protesters but was increasingly taking the form of ethnic and religious clashes. “Some people have lost their lives with sticks, with machetes, some houses have been burned. People have been using even bullets and light arms to kill each other, to fight each other,” he said.

US Congress seeks info on Kashmir from Indian envoy Washington, Oct 26 (IANS): The US Congress has told the Indian envoy Harsh Vardhan Shringla that despite his “update” on the situation in Kashmir, many people have painted “a much different picture”, and asked him to provide answers to several queries, including how many have been detained under the Public Safety Act, on reports of the use of rubber bullets, and whether journalists and members of the US Congress will be allowed free access to the region. The Congress, in a letter, said that following Shringla’s briefing members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee on October 16 about the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, it requested for “more specific information regarding some of the questions raised at that time”. “As was discussed during the meeting, many of our constituents have painted a much different picture of the situation than what you shared with us,” the
letter said. They asked if 100 per cent of landline service had been restored inside Jammu and Kashmir and when would all mobile phone services be restored, including for prepaid services. “When will full internet access be restored (not just access at kiosks)?” it asked. “How many people have been detained under the Public Safety Act or other legal provisions since August 5th? Please be as specific as possible. Of those, how many are minors? What is the standard judicial procedure for someone detained under the Public Safety Act?” the letter asked. It asked for the status of the curfew in Kashmir, and what were the government’s plans to allow residents to return to an uninhibited movement. It also asked for the reasons that foreign journalists were still not allowed inside Jammu and Kashmir. On the alleged use of rubber bullets for crowd
Anti-govt rallies continue in Iraq; 42 dead Nawaz Sharif suffers Baghdad, Oct 26 (IANS): Protests calling for better basic services in Iraq on Saturday continued for the second day in a row as demonstrators camped in Baghdads Tahrir square. Friday’s anti-government rallies left 42 dead across the country. “Hundreds of protesters spent the night in Tahrir Square and did not withdraw despite calls from security forces,” an Interior Ministry source told Efe news.

Indian Army chief provoking war: Pak Army Islamabad, Oct 26 (PTI): Indian Army chief General Bipin Rawat has been repeatedly “provoking war” through “irresponsible” statements and endangering regional peace, Pakistan Army has said after he described PoK as a “terrorist-controlled” part of Pakistan. In his closing remarks at the Field Marshal KM Cariappa memorial lecture in New Delhi on Friday, Rawat also asserted that Gilgit-Baltistan and Pakistanoccupied Kashmir (PoK) have been under illegal occupation of Pakistan. “The territory (PoK) occupied by Pakistan is not controlled by the Pakistan establishment but it is controlled by terrorists. PoK is actually a terrorist-controlled part of Pakistan,” the Indian Army chief said. Reacting to Rawat’s remarks, Pakistan military spokesman Major General Asif Ghafoor, in an overnight statement, said the Indian Army chief was repeatedly issuing irresponsible statements to fortify his candidacy for the newly proposed post of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS). “Indian COAS repeatedly provoking war through irresponsible statements endangering regional peace for electioneering of political masters,” Ghafoor said, adding that he was hoping to become Indian CDS “at the cost of professional military ethos.” “From fake surgical strike to-date his only success has been to turn Indian Army into a rogue force and getting them killed,” Ghafoor tweeted.

The new wave of protests has also left 2,312 people injured in clashes between security sources and demonstrators, according to Ali al Bayati, a
member of the governmental Iraqi Commission for Human Rights. Nearly 50 government buildings and parties’ headquarters were damaged, according to the most recent figures. Security forces were among the casualities, the Interior Ministry said, adding that some of them were victims of live ammunition and stone throwing by protesters. The Ministry, meanwhile, denied that security forces have used real ammunition or excessive force against protesters. It also stressed its respect for the peaceful protests. The protests came days after influential Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr said that people had the right to take to the streets on October 25 if they wanted.

Are rubber bullets still being used for crowd control? What is the Indian government doing to ensure the rights of peaceful protesters?” It asked if the Indian government will welcome the visiting members of the US Congress or other foreign officials who wish to visit Jammu and Kashmir? “ We b e l i e ve t r u e transparency can only be achieved when journalists and Members of the Congress are allowed free access to the region. We encourage India to open Jammu and Kashmir to both domestic and foreign journalists, and other international visitors, in the interest of open media and increased communication.” The letter was signed by six members, including David N. Cicilline, Dina Titus, Andy Levin and three others.

NE United FC beat Odisha FC 2-1 in ISL deft touch to get the better of Subhasish for the first time on the night. While it looked like the game was heading for a draw, Ghanian legend Gyan stamped his authority on the fixture by soaring high to head home Lalthathanga Khawlhring’s delivery from the corner. Odisha were
made to pay for poor defending that saw the 33-yearold completely unmarked at the centre of the box. Odisha could not respond to the late goal and the hosts deservedly walked away with all three points. Today’s match Time: 7:30 pm Chennaiyin FC vs Mumbai

Nyenshen FC retain Loyem Memorial Trophy
AFC recognises ISL as top league
Players of NorthEast United and Odisha FC fight for the ball during their ISL match at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium, Guwahati on Saturday.
Guwahati, Oct 26 (Agencies): NorthEast United FC beat Odisha FC 2-1 in their second match of the Indian Super League (ISL) season six on Saturday at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium, Guwahati. Redeem Tlang gave the home side the lead in the 2nd minute but Xisco Hernandez equalised for Odisha (71’). Asamoah Gyan netted his debut ISL goal in the 84th minute to seal full points for the Highlanders. NorthEast United FC kicked-off their season at home in tremendous fashion, with Redeem Tlang setting off fireworks in the second minute. Panagiotis Triadis set the youngster
in space on the right side, taking advantage of Odisha’s unorganised back-four. Tlang then slotted it past Arshdeep Singh, despite the custodian getting a touch before the ball hit the back of the net. Martin Chaves, who was key in the build-up to the goal, was lively in the moments that followed and put the pressure on the Odisha defence that looked shaky after conceding the early goal. At the other end, Odisha resorted to crosses to create chances but did not test the NorthEast defence in the opening minutes. Their first big chance arrived in the 33rd minute when Jerry
Mawihmingthanga tested Subhasish Chowdhary from the edge of the box. Seconds later, Carlos Delgado had his header tipped away by the NorthEast custodian, who can make a fair claim to being one of their best players of the half. The second half saw both teams step up their tempo. After sniffing the NorthEast goal for over 25 minutes, Odisha finally pulled one back through Xisco Hernandez. Diawandou Diagné danced on the right flank, before launching a perfect low-cross to the centre of the box. Xisco was at the right time at the right place to score the equaliser with a

The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Executive Committee meeting for the first time in Vietnam on Saturday endorsed the roadmap for Indian football as a plan to grow the sport in the world’s second most populous country. The endorsement comes shortly after the AFC held a summit in Kuala Lumpur on October 14 and involved representatives of both ISL and the I-League as well as AIFF and IMG-Reliance. The roadmap for the reform process is for the club game in the country - with the ISL being recognised as the top league in India starting from the 2019-2020 season. The roadmap includes: - In season 2019-20, the ISL will attain the status of premier league competition in Indian football. - The AFC will allow the winning ISL club to represent India in the AFC Champions League play-offs, and the I-League winner will get to play in the AFC Cup play-off. - Another key recommendation by the AFC is to open a pathway for two I-League clubs’ entry into the ISL by the end of the 2020-21 season, subject to the criteria being fulfilled. - In addition, starting with the 2022-23 and 2023-2024 season, the winner of the I-League will stand a chance to be promoted to the ISL with no participation fee, basis fulfilling sporting merit and the national club licensing criteria to be set out by the AIFF. There will be no relegation in the ISL at this time.

Turin, Oct 26 (Agencies): Maurizio Sarri's decision to rest Cristiano Ronaldo backfired as Juventus were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw at promoted Lecce. Matthijs de Ligt's handball enabled Marco Mancosu to score from the spot in the 56th minute and earn the hosts their first home point of the Serie A season at Stadio Via del Mare. Paulo Dybala, the hero of Juve's midweek Champions League win over Lokomotiv Moscow, had not long earlier opened the scoring with a spot kick of his own. But there was no late saviour for Sarri's men on this occasion, the loss of Miralem Pjanic to a muscle problem compounding a result that will force them back into second place if Inter beat Parma. Juve felt aggrieved not to be awarded an early penalty for Panagiotis Tachtsidis' trip on Emre Can. Further appeals were waved away when Danilo went down under close attention from Marco Calderoni.

Manchester City cruise past Aston Villa
Leicester City players celebrate after scoring against Southampton.
the relegation zone on goal difference after taking one home point this season. Southampton’s heaviest Premier League defeat had been a 7-1 reverse to Liverpool 20 years ago, another unwanted record for their under pressure manager Ralph Hasenhuettl. There was a double blow for the hosts after 10 minutes when Chilwell tapped home a rebound to give Leicester the lead after Vardy’s shot was only parried by goalkeeper Angus Gunn. A check by the VAR
showed a crude lunge by Bertrand on Perez in the build-up to the goal and the Southampton defender received his marching orders. From there, Leicester were able to cut through their opponents at will. Saints defender Yan Valery could only steer a poor clearance into the path of Tielemans to score after 17 minutes and two minutes later the latter turned provider for Perez to open his Leicester account. He grabbed his second with a volley at the back post from Chilwell’s cross in the 39th,
and the home humiliation was compounded when Vardy blasted past Gunn just before the break for a 5-0 lead. Rampant Leicester added two more before the hour mark as Perez completed his hat-trick with a neat volley and Vardy was left unmarked to head home Chilwell’s cross. Maddison added to the home misery with a 25metre free-kick before Vardy completed his hat-trick with the last kick of the game via a penalty. It was the biggest Eng-
ball lovers. Fans at both end kept the match upbeat. The champions walked away with trophy, certificates, medals and a cash prize of Rs. 2,10,000. The runners up also received certificates, medals and a cash prize of Rs. 1,10,000. Longkhoi of Khulioh King FC got the golden boot, Olando of Nyenshen FC was awarded the golden ball and Tia of DEF, Tuensang received the golden ball. Each semi-finalist also received Rs. 25,000 each.

Leicester thrash Saints 9-0 to equal EPL record L ondon , O ct 2 6 (Agencies): Leicester City recorded the biggest ever English top-flight away win by beating 10-man Southampton 9-0 at a rainsodden St Mary’s to move up to second place in the Premier League on Friday. The biggest margin of victory on the road previously was eight goals, a joint record held by three clubs. It was also the first time a team had scored nine away goals in the Premier League and equalled Manchester United’s record 9-0 win achieved at home to Ipswich Town in 1995. The 2016 champions Leicester moved to 20 points from 10 games leaving them five points behind leaders Liverpool. Hat-tricks from Ayoze Perez and Jamie Vardy plus goals by Youri Tielemans, Ben Chilwell and James Maddison inflicted Southampton’s biggest home defeat in their 133-year history. Saints lost Ryan Bertrand to an early red card and were shambolic in defence as they slipped into
a heated battle in the first half failing to make any mark in the scoreboard. After the half time break, Ratobe scored the only goal in the 55th minute to send the fans in frenzy. The champions took more denfesive approach after the goal which led Khulioh attackers to unleash the force. They came close to scoring in the dying minutes hitting the crossbar. Despite heavy rain and cold weather, the ground was fully packed with foot-
Manchester City put on a second-half show to see off Aston Villa 3-0 at the Etihad in the Premier League, reducing the gap to Liverpool to three points for 24 hours at least. City struck inches wide on two occasions in a goalless first half through Gabriel Jesus and David Silva, but within seconds of the re-
start, Raheem Sterling had slotted home his sixth goal in four games for club and country (46). David Silva then got the slightest touch on Kevin De Bruyne’s cross for a controversial second after a VAR review for a potential Sterling offside (65), but there was nothing contentious about Ilkay Gundogan’s half-volley for 3-0 (70). Fernandinho was dismissed late on for a needless second yellow card (87), but the result means City make up ground on Liverpool, who host Tottenham on Sunday.

Paolo Valeri having finally pointed to the spot after replays confirmed Jacopo Petriccione's challenge on Pjanic took place in the box. A second spot-kick quickly followed as Calderoni's cross from the left fizzed against De Ligt's arm. Lecce captain Mancosu made no mistake and the Bianconeri's problems soon grew greater, with Federico Bernardeschi's failure to
score after rounding Gabriel preceding Pjanic's forced withdrawal. An injury issue for Mancosu effectively left Lecce, who had used up their substitutes, to defend with 10 men for the final 15 minutes. But Leonardo Bonucci's errant volley was the closest Juve came to capitalising, the point ultimately edging them two ahead of second-placed Inter.
