Fuel adulteration kingpin Dhinanath arrested
ACAUT lauds Assam Police
Donald Trump down India’s invite for R-Day
DIMAPUR, OCT 27 (NPN): ACAUT on Friday lauded Assam Police for arresting the “notorious fuel adulteration kingpin” Dhinanath Shah from Khatkhati on October 1, 2018. In a press note, ACAUT media cell pointed out that Dinanath had shifted his base of operation from Dimapur to Khatkhati under Karbi Anglong district after ACAUT and Dimapur district administration busted and exposed the network of illegal fuel adulteration units
across the district in 2016. With the case still pending in the court, ACAUT said that the “hardened criminal” had conveniently shifted his fuel adulteration unit to Khatkhati bordering Nagaland. ACAUT also alleged that Dhinanath was still procuring kerosene from Dimapur meant for Public Distribution System (PDS) to run his illegal business. Expressing hope that the arrest will only strengthen the case against the king-
pin, ACAUT on the other hand urged the Nagaland police to co-ordinate with its counterpart in Assam and get to the root of the matter and ensure that this notorious criminal along with all corrupted officials and the syndicate mafias, who are part of the illegal racket be brought to justice. Meanwhile, ACAUT said that there were some “impatient people” casting aspersion and trying to malign ACAUT saying the latter had been compromised. ACUAT however clarified to all and sundry that ACAUT believes in the “rule of law” and that its members had been patiently co-operating and for the past two years appearing for summons and court hearings and has been giving necessary information both to the investigating agencies and media from outside the state. ACAUT said it was hopeful that in spite of some corrupted people in the system, given this new turn of events, it expected that judiciary would not make a mockery of the justice system but give a fair and final judgement at the earliest .
NEW DELHI, OCT 27 (AGENCIES): US President Donald Trump has turned down the Indian government’s invite to visit India on the occasion of Republic Day. This, the Times of India has learnt, was conveyed in the form of a letter from US authorities to NSA Ajit Doval recently. The letter is said to have comprised a regret message from Trump. The US president’s domestic commitments, notably his State of the Union (SOTU) address, around that time of the year are apparently the reason for Trump not accepting India’s invite. Tr u m p ’s r e s p o n s e though is in sharp contrast to the one from his predecessor Barack Obama who, despite faced with the same domestic presidential obligations in 2015, agreed to visit India as Republic Day chief guest. TOI had first reported on July 13 that India had officially invited Trump for Republic Day. While the US had confirmed the invite, it had said that the final decision would be taken after the inaugural 2+2 dialogue in September.

DIMAPUR, OCT 27 (NPN): Working Coordination Committee on Zeliangrong Land Issues (WCCZLI) has threatened to impose an indefinite bandh on government offices and vehicles from November 1 in protest against the recognition of Khehoi village. It was reported that the committee was firm on imposing the bandh unless their demand was fulfilled, sources added. In a representation to the DC Peren, WCCZLI convenor Kiezin Zeliang said the recognition of Khehoi village (erstwhile Kiavi ‘B’ village) was an “insult and direct challenge to the landowners-- Lamhai village and Zeliangrong community. WCCZLI pointed out that the recognition was accorded without following proper government norms and procedure and that the ‘No objection Certificate’ was also not obtained from the landowners (Lamhai village), which is a must while granting recognition. Meanwhile, WCCZLI has warned that the state government will be held solely responsible of any eventuality that may arise out of the issue.

Leaders of Manipur Muslim Welfare Organization (MMWO), Muslim Council Manipur (MCM), All Manipur Pangal Farm-
ers’ Development Organization, Manipur Muslim Welfare Organization (Women Wing) made the appeal during a news conference held at MMWO office in Imphal Hatta Golapati on Saturday.

On the same day, UNC has also called a 12-hour bandh in Naga areas de-
manding solution to the Naga political problem at the earliest. MMWO president Abdullah Pathan announced that Meitei Pangal (Manipuri Muslims) will participate in the rally while urging all section of the community to come out by wearing their traditional attires. All communities living in the state must participate in the rally, he said while asserting that Meitei Pangals strongly objected granting special status to any particular community living together in the state. Granting special status to a particularly community will tantamount to sowing the seed of disharmony among
areas on the same day, the MMWO president asserted that imposing bandh or any other form of strike on this proposed day was unfortunate. “MMWO strongly condemns giving a bandh call by an organization said to be an apex body of a particular community,” he said while urging the strike caller to review its decision.

Delhi Pollution: Govt-run bodies issue advisories
Air quality has not improved in country’s capital Delhi for a long time now. (File)
New Delhi, Oct 27 (PTI): Keep windows shut, wear masks, prefer short walks, minimise use of private vehicles are among the recommendations of government bodies for Delhites who are battling dangerous pollution levels in the city. Delhi’s air quality continues to remain ‘very poor’ for the fourth consecutive day Saturday, prompting the Central Pollution Control Board and the Centrerun System of Air Quality Forecasting and Research to issue separate advisories for people. In the NCR region, Ghaziabad recorded severe
pollution level, while Gurgaon, Faridabad, Noida and Greater Noida all recorded ‘very poor’ air quality, according to a data by the Central Pollution Control Board data Saturday. The eight areas in Delhi that recorded severe air quality Saturday are Anand Vihar, Dwarka Sector 8, Narela, Punjabi Bagh, Bawana, Mundaka, Vivek Vihar and Rohini. The CPCB-led task force recommended public to avoid strenuous outdoor activities and minimise the use of private vehicles to reduce exposure to toxic air. The task force also gave
recommendations to the Supreme Court-appointed Environment Pollution Control Authority to deal with the deteriorating air quality. The task force also recommended closure of all construction activities involving excavation, civil construction, stone crushers, hot mix plants that generate dust pollution during November 1 to 10. Other measures included shutdown of coal and biomass based industries (excluding thermal and waste-to-energy plants) from November 4 to 10, intensification of efforts by transport department to check polluting vehicles and controlling traffic congestion in DelhiNCR between November 1 and 10, according to the minutes of the meeting. The task force also recommended efforts to provide uninterrupted power supply in NCR areas to avoid requirement of operating diesel generator (DG) sets. The task force said that at the beginning of November, the situation may get deteriorate further on account of localised emissions during festival and regional contribution due to stubble burning.
national ED attached Rs 33k cr worth of assets in 3 years New Delhi, Oct 27 (PTI): The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has effected record attachments of assets worth over Rs 33,500 crore and filed 390odd charge sheets in connection with its money laundering probes in the over three-year tenure of its chief Karnal Singh who retires Sunday, officials said. IRS officer S K Mishra will take over the charge of the ED from Singh. The government announced Mishra’s appointment as the ED chief on Saturday.

SC to commence Ayodhya title suit hearing tomorrow New Delhi, Oct 27 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Monday is likely to start hearing on a batch of petitions challenging the 2010 Allahabad High Court verdict trifurcating the disputed site at Ayodhya into three parts for Ram Lalla, Nirmohi Akhara and the original Muslim litigant. The matter would be heard by a bench of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Justice K.M. Joseph. The top court bench of then Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justice Ashok Bhushan and Justice S. Abdul Nazeer by a majority of 2:1 while rejecting the plea challenging the High Court judgment had directed that the matter would be heard
by a three-judge bench from October 29. The majority judgement on September 27 held that a new constituted bench will commence hearing from October 29 on a batch of petitions filed by both the sides -- Hindu and Muslim stakeholders -- challenging the 2010 high court judgement. The Muslim petitioners had pressed for hearing the challenge to the High Court judgment by a fivejudge bench as the court had relied on a 1994 top court judgment that said that mosque was not essential to Islam for offering ‘namaz’. The three-judge bench while rejecting the plea had on September 27 said,
“We are of the considered opinion that no case has been made out to refer the Constitution Bench judgment of this court in Ismail Faruqui case for reconsideration.” “We again make it clear that questionable observations made in the Ismail Faruqui’s case ... were made in the context of land acquisition. Those
observations were neither relevant for deciding the suits nor relevant for deciding these appeals,” the majority judgement had said. In his minority judgement, Justice Nazeer had said that the “questionable” observations in the Ismail Faruqui ruling were arrived at without undertaking a comprehensive examination.

that if a lie was uttered 100 times, people would start believing it. He said that by raising questions about Rafale, the opposition party may be willingly or unwillingly helping the country’s enemies. “The Congress thinks that if it makes noises and misleads the people, the BJP’s seats(in the Lok Sabha and state legislatures) will go down. However, every time they make a hue and cry, our numbers only go up,” he said. Singh exhorted the
BJP’s youth wing to work hard so that the party could win 350 seats in the next year’s general election.

Testing times
ime and again, when looking at what has happened and is happening, the sharpest focus falls on the culture of the people who are no longer of pagan culture but claimants of the Christian faith. Therefore, if society (or a majority) claims, it is following Christian religion then there is definitely something wrong. The very confidence in the faith is crumbling since the church has nothing to offer. Its authority and influence is fading, its adherents are disengaging. In past era when paganism and primitive concepts loomed large, people embraced Christianity because they found the answer to their spiritual quest ‘with a little bit of help’ from American missionaries. Much water has flown down the rivers of Nagaland and today, when people turn to the church for answers, most do not find them. Instead of a solution, they find a religion that has, on one side, abused its power, and on the other side is spineless and powerless. In its effort to remain standing the teaching has lost direction and clarity. When church leaders become “important” in the state and feel very much part of the government and are quite comfortable in the present situation, it means that Christianity has lost its backbone and has become irrelevant. When churches desperately try to reinvent themselves to appeal to what people want, as so many are doing today, they abandon what’s relevant to God. True Christianity is about changing to find our relevance in God—not God finding His relevance in us. The erosion started slowly when the Church did not separate itself from the political affairs of all sections. The issues that are being raised –from HIV, abortion, full scale immorality, corruption, blasphemous parroting of God’s name to extort, threaten ,kidnap, or kill- have only exposed the kind of ‘religion’ and which unfortunately, does not bear testimony to the biblical tenets. If that be so, then it has led to some wanting to know what religion is being followed? The selfinflicted irrelevancy has pushed the church to the periphery. Instead of taking the bull by the horns, it is instead responding with events, programmes and projects. This has not touched those in need. This is leading many to opt for creating their own belief systems. So they go to the cafeteria of religious ideology and pick and choose what they like and what they don’t. In other words, they’re becoming their own god, creating their own religious universe. Time will prove that approach to be like drawing water from an empty well. The condition is that Christianity immediately started becoming irrelevant when irrelevancy started becoming Christian. Human explanations cannot satisfy spiritual voids, and people will eventually start looking elsewhere for relevancy. If Christianity isn’t changing people, it isn’t relevant. Jesus’ harshest words were not aimed at the pagan Romans, but at the religious leaders claiming to follow God. Jesus cut through the façade of religious mask when He exposed their carefully crafted religious practices that made them appear pious, by calling them hypocrites, “whitewashed tombs” (beautiful on the outside but inside are full of dead men’s bones). The Bible continues to be relevant even if people aren’t. What is happening is due to the inability to discern between absolute truth and relative truth.
Post-mortem How to not lose all hope in life Hospital infrastructure: Specialised focus for private capital A
H
ospital infrastructure is an area of interest for policymakers, the consuming public and investors alike. Access to hospitals is critical for a healthy nation, especially given that there are only 0.9 hospital beds per 1,000 people in India. Lack of infrastructure and poor availability of hospital beds indicate both the opportunity and challenges of creating hospital infrastructure. Access to so-called “private hospitals” is crucial for proper healthcare for a particular section of the population -- the upper middle class and the neorich. The last two decades have seen significant growth in private healthcare providers in India, especially in tier-1 and tier-2 cities. Going forward, private capital needs to identify sustainable business models that allow creation of more hospital infrastructure. With rising middle class incomes, demand for such infrastructure is expected to increase. But one must keep in mind that the consumer is price conscious, and health insurance penetration is low, and most healthcare payments are privately funded. Another issue with further building hospital infrastructure from a private capital perspective is how to create a profitable and scalable business, given the changes in the pricing of products? The pricing of products refers to the price caps that have been brought in by the government for medicines and medical devices, etc. While these caps are expected to ensure the delivery of affordable healthcare to general consumers, they have also posed challenging questions for current and future hospital investors and operators. At a fundamental level, a hospital generates revenues by providing healthcare services and selling medical products. The price caps imply that hospital businesses (especially privately owned) must increasingly focus on producing a greater share of revenues from service provision, operational efficiencies and creating economies of scale through whatever means, such as technology usage. The creation of SinoCare platform by KKR in China recently presents an attractive template to aggregate hospital businesses on a platform to create sustainable businesses. While healthcare investors have utilised platform structures to aggregate hospitals in India, the current need for greater hospital access means the next generation of “hospital platforms” will need to marry operational efficiency with extreme specialisation to boost growth. Such platforms can be utilised to aggregate hospitals that solve par-
ticular needs as a solution provider. In other words, is it possible to use the “dental clinic” model to use platforms to create chains that address specific needs but at a relatively low cost? Low-cost hospitals with an extreme focus on a specific solution delivery is a model that should be further explored in India to start addressing particular healthcare gaps. In their book “The Innovator’s Prescription”, Clayton Christensen, Jerome Grossman & Jason Hwang give examples of hospitals such as Shouldice Hospital that focuses only on external abdominal wall hernias or the Coxa Hospital in Finland that focuses on hip and knee replacement surgery. Essentially, this is delivery of healthcare through specialisation. Private capital needs to consider similar strategies that allow for economies of scale through a focussed approach while addressing the most compelling requirements. In some ways, the model that has been adopted to create healthcare diagnostics platforms that cater to specific needs now needs to be further built on in the healthcare solution provision space. Creation of infrastructure needs to focus as much on the creation of specialised operational excellence as it does on the right financing mechanism. The issues faced by some large hospital businesses of high amounts of debt is one that needs attention right from the go. A careful analysis is required on the sensitivities of the project returns to the various factors. A prudent and less risky capital structure can often create more long-term value for investors, especially with a view on scaling the hospital platform. Technology, financing and insurance must work together to deliver value within the healthcare ecosystem. While private capital has a significant role to play in the creation of hospital infrastructure, the returns can accrue to the overall ecosystem only if the health insurance market also develops in unison. Furthermore, policy frameworks must also provide for stable investment horizons. Investing in the healthcare businesses by its very nature is long-dated. While a fair and regulated pricing regime is necessary, it is also vital for the government to ensure an environment where investors and operators can generate reasonable economic returns. Private capital has and will continue to have a significant role to play in the provision of healthcare services. Effective policymaking combined with innovative business models is the way forward.

DailyDevotion The Method of Missions Impact of air pollution on India Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations… —Matthew 28:19 Jesus Christ did not say, “Go and save souls” (the salvation of souls is the supernatural work of God), but He said, “Go…make disciples of all the nations….” Yet you cannot make disciples unless you are a disciple yourself. When the disciples returned from their first mission, they were filled with joy because even the demons were subject to them. But Jesus said, in effect, “Don’t rejoice in successful service— the great secret of joy is that you have the right relationship with Me” (see Luke 10:17-20). The missionary’s great essential is remaining true to the call of God, and realizing that his one and only purpose is to disciple men and women to Jesus. Remember that there is a passion for souls that does not come from God, but from our desire to make converts to our point of view. The challenge to the missionary does not come from the fact that people are difficult to bring to salvation, that backsliders are difficult to reclaim, or that there is a barrier of callous indifference. No, the challenge comes from the perspective of the missionary’s own personal relationship with Jesus Christ— “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” (Matthew 9:28). Our Lord unwaveringly asks us that question, and it confronts us in every individual situation we encounter. The one great challenge to us is— do I know my risen Lord? Do I know the power of His indwelling Spirit? Am I wise enough in God’s sight, but foolish enough according to the wisdom of the world, to trust in what Jesus Christ has said? Or am I abandoning the great supernatural position of limitless confidence in Christ Jesus, which is really God’s only call for a missionary? If I follow any other method, I depart altogether from the methods prescribed by our Lord— “All authority has been given to Me….Go therefore…” (Matthew 28:18-19).

ir pollution can be termed as a riot caused by negligence that is killing the people of all religions. The level of air pollution in India has become dangerous to such an extent that it is killing 2 people every single minute. According to a news report, ‘The Lancet Countdown’, Delhi, the capital of the country and Patna, the capital of Bihar, are among the most polluted cities in the world. According to this report, more than one million people lose their lives every year, which is, about 2880 people die every day in India, due to air pollution. According to ‘The Lancet Countdown’, 18,000 people die every day in the world due to air pollution. It includes air pollution inside the house as well as outside, that means you can escape from the problems of the world by staying inside the house, but air pollution can kill you even there. This report has been prepared by 48 scientists from 16 different institutes. According to these scientists, where the level of pollution is according to the standards set by the WHO, there is a high risk of death of people. The average annual level of PM2.5 particles, responsible for air pollution in Delhi and Patna is 120 microgram per cubic meter. It is 12 times more than the standards set by the WHO. According to WHO, the average annual level of pol-
lution should not exceed 10 microgram per cubic meter. Compared to China, pollution is rising faster in India. Another international report related to air pollution called ‘State of Global Air 2017’ said that in the year 2015 due to the loss of ozone layer, 254000 people died in India. Ozone is the layer of environment that prevents harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. When there is loss of ozone layer, people get lung disease related diseases. According to this report, in 2015, 2.5 million people died in India due to lung diseases. Lakhs of people are being killed every year in India due to the loss of ozone layer. This figure of death is 13 times higher than Bangladesh and 21 times more than Pakistan. In case of air pollution, the air is much clearer in Bangladesh and Pakistan than in India. Even after years, air pollution is increasing in India. Whether it is the Central Government or the State Governments, there is need for more seriousness about fighting pollution. While answering a question in the Lok Sabha, the Central Government said that India spends Rs 7 crore every year on the monitoring of air pollution. This amount is very low for this vast country with a population of 132 crores. Vishal Duggal (He possesses over two decades of journalistic experience across print and web domains.)
nytime we suffer immense amounts of failure and defeat and hurt, we lose much of the hope we gathered up over time. Like willpower, hope is easily drained and depleted. When all you can do is worry, stress, and contemplate your greatest fears after a major failure, it’s easy to lose all hope. However, we should realise that all hope isn’t lost. The failures, rejections, hurts etc are “signs of life” — they indicate progress, not perfection. I was moving in the right direction, even though I was stumbling and falling down with virtually every misstep and setbacks. I f yo u ’ ve s u f f e r e d through some major calamities and strife recently, and you feel like all hope is lost, it isn’t. Those situations are setting you up for a life far greater and brighter. It might not seem like it now, but over time, the truth will be illuminated. Yet, the question remains, what happens when it seems like your whole world is collapsing all around you? How do you keep the hope alive now, and not just bank on it being restored at some later point in the future? T h e f o l l ow i n g f ive simple and straightforward methods can help us on “how to not lose hope” Reassess the situation: Life is very much like a camera’s lens: What we choose to focus on becomes clearer and more real to us. Focus on the negative, and we see just that. But, when the focus shifts to positivity, more good things are seen. We reap what we sow, as the saying goes. If you’ve lost hope due to some major failure in life, then it’s time to reassess the situation. The first thing to understand is that some of the most successful people have failed many times at first. Simply put, life is about the journey, and not about the destination. Reassess your goals to determine just what you wanted out of life and why you wanted it. If your reasons are strong and deep-rooted enough, then you won’t let failure stop you. You’ll keep going. Fill your heart with gratitude: I know that this might
sound corny or cheesy at first. But, there’s something to be said about appreciating what we have rather than longing for what we don’t have. Again, the mind reaps what it sows. Focus on gratitude, and watch as your life transforms before your very eyes and your hope is renewed. There are people in this world that are struggling in the midst of tyrannical regimes, famine, war, poverty, oppression, and a variety of disabilities. When we actually count up all of the good things we have going for us, we can transform that lack of hope into a state of gratitude. Even if you feel like you have nothing to be grateful for, it’s your duty to list out the things that you are grateful for. Maybe it’s solely the fact that you’re 6 feet above ground, or that you can read, write, and reason, or that you have food on your plate, a place to sleep, or people that love you. Whatever it is, we can always find something to be grateful for. Gratitude is a habit that can be practiced over time. When we can see the good and positive in things, we enjoy a renewed sense of spirit and a restoration of hope and excitement about life and the possibilities it holds for us. Be objective and honest about the situation: The hardest part about failure and losing hope is our inability to look at things objectively, or even honestly at times. Whether the cause of the calamity or strife originated from our behavior or not, having an objective and honest opinion about a situation can mean all the difference. The truth of the matter is that we get wrapped up in whatever we’re doing. We also take failure and defeat very personally. It’s difficult to remove our innermost emotions and desires from a situation that we put all of our heart and soul into. But, when we’re objective and honest about a situation, we can illuminate the causes and effects of our behavior, and make the necessary adjustments to our approach that are needed. And if we can modify our approach and not give up, eventually, we can fulfill our
dreams. Lean on others for support: Losing all hope can be devastating. When we try to move through that journey alone, it can be an arduous undertaking. But, when we can lean on others for support, things do get a little bit easier. While it might not make it a walk-in-the-park, it does entail taking on a lighter load. Other people can bring new perspective to our situations that we might not have seen before. Because of the ego, it’s often hard to see the forest through the trees, so to speak. Yet, our friends, family, peers, and others in our community can help to provide some necessary support to very difficult situations. Usually, people achieve their goals through one of two means: inspiration or desperation. Either we’re inspired by events or other people to keep going, or so desperate and in such dire straits, that we push through no matter what we see or hear. Tr ust in your faith: Sometimes, we need to have a little trust and faith in good things to come and understand that while all things might not be in our control or power, things do happen for a reason. While we might not always understand the reason at the time, one most certainly always exists. Whether you’re Christian, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, or just believe in a unifying spiritual energy that binds us all, having faith means that you have trust and confidence in good things to come. And we can rely on our faith to help restore our hope. While it’s easier said than done, hope can be restored over time, and all hope isn’t lost, even when we go through the roughest of times. Whatever doesn’t kill us, makes us stronger. We have to believe in the grand design of things, and that good things will eventually happen because human beings weren’t created just to survive — we were created to thrive. “When all is lost, the future and hope still remain”.

What has happened to our Naga sense of fair play?
I
am basically addressing this question to the town dwellers of Kohima, Dimapur and some other urban areas of Nagaland. Yes, whatever has happened to our cultural ethos of being fair to our fellowman in our business and social dealings? Have we thrown away all our ethical norms to the suffocating winds of the so called modern era where money and accumulation of wealth has become a mad obsession? Weren’t we the custodians of a culture where we had a deep sense of shame over selfish business dealings? For example, coming to the rates of basic kitchen essentials, I was amazed when vegetable prices shot up from Rs 10 to Rs 20 over-
night. But now it has doubled and tripled to Rs 100 a bundle which is much lesser than a Kg. And of all people, some of our elderly lady vegetable vendors are our own aunties and grandmothers from neighbouring villages and other regions of Nagaland. In revolt, many a times I have squatted down right in front of them and asked them: “look at my face. I am not a foreigner or a plainsman. I also know how to cultivate or do gardening. How dare you charge so much on a fellow Naga?” I have also many times shown them the money I was carrying and told them, “It is not a question of my not having sufficient money but I will never stoop down
to such levels of exorbitant prices.” If my son happens to be with me, he always scolds me for seemingly quarrelling with everybody in the streets of Kohima. But that’s that. I hope the reader gets my point. It has become a shameful thing for all Nagas-especially in front of or our real foreigners who visit us with all sorts of positive reports about our excellent hospitality. How dare we charge them Rupees 100 for a mug of rice beer or Rupees 1000 for a plate of rice and meat at our Hornbill festivals? If that is Naga hospitality, then shame on every Naga for not collectively opposing such exorbitant prices. Kaka D. Iralu, Mission Compound, Kohima
Reader’s Post
Sir,
Hygienic abattoir in need: can Wokha dpdb consider this grievance?
The present animal slaughter house in the town is unhygienic and it is too impolite to be an ignorant consumer of pork and beef. Nowhere in the world is a slaughter house located near a waste dumping site, except in Wokha. One can visit the site in the morning, along the road that leads to district hospital, to witness what I, as a layman, am concern for. I infer that the fault for this unhygienic way of dressing the meat every morning cannot be blamed to those who are involved in slaughtering. Policy makers of the town, in this respect, must, without any delay, construct a modern hygienic abattoir. At the same time, those involved in this business must be given proper guidance on hygiene, provide skill training on dressing of meat, organize tour to visit abattoir in other cities, provide clean water supply in the site etc. before they are being blamed. It would be highly appreciated if the chairman of the Wokha District Planning and Development Board accept this grievance and discuss it as one genuine agenda in the coming DPDB meetings to effect changes. Such an act will draw a mass support in the days to come. To have modern abattoir in the town is no more to be counted as a luxury infrastructure but it is a necessity. If construction of an abattoir is in process, it is well and good. Pork on a dining table must be consumable; it should not be a questionable one. Y.

Reinforcement was rushed to the spot immediately and the injured personnel were being evacuated, the official said, adding they were retrieving the bodies from the site. The attack took place on a day when Chief Minister Raman Singh launched the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party’s campaign for the first phase of polls on November 12 in neighbouring Sukma district. The first phase of election will cover 18 constituencies in eight Naxalaffected districts - Bastar, Kanker, Sukma, Bijapur, Dantewada, Narayanpur, Kondagaon and Rajnandgaon. Naxals had recently put up posters in parts of Bastar region calling for boycott of the polls.

Mumbai, Oct 27 (AGENCIES): BJP will emerge the number one party in the state and Centre in 2019, with or without its ally Shiv Sena, Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Friday. Fa d n av i s s a i d t h e Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will try to form an alliance with the Sena, for both the Lok Sabha and state assembly polls next year, and given the political reality, such a tie-up will fall in place. But, he added even if the alliance falls apart, the BJP was already prepared and would emerge winner. “Both of us will suffer if we don’t have an alliance. If we form one, we will win the polls easily and if we don’t, we [BJP] will have to struggle a little.

ordinates on an operation. They were asked to reach the Khan Market area, a few km away from the CBI headquarters. And then at midnight, Commissioner told his team that the Delhi Police would take over the CBI headquarters. “But when the Delhi Police reached the agency headquarters, it found CISF (Central Industrial Security Force) stationed there. They were stopped from entering. Later, the CISF received an order to allow Delhi Police, which then took over the CBI headquarters,” he claimed. He further said that the by the time Delhi Police was taking over the CBI headquarters, Chowdary was writing his order. “The CVC order then reached the office of Secretary, DoPT, C Chandramouli as he was still waiting for the orders in his office till late in the night,” he said. “Chandramouli then takes the order to the Cabinet Committee on Appointments around 1 a.m., whose Chairperson is the Prime Minister and they
remove Verma as Director and appoint Rao as interim chief of the agency,” Surjewala said. Surjewala claimed that around 2.30 a.m. the CVC and Lok Ranjan, who is the Additional Secretary of DoPT, reaches CBI headquarters. They then come out with Rao along with files and records of the Rafale scam which were in Verma’s office. The Congress leader pointed out that under Section 4A and 4B of the Delhi Police Establishment Act, 1946, the CBI Director can only be appointed or transferred or removed by the Selection Committee comprising of the Prime Minister, the Chief Justice of India and the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha. “It (action against Verma) was done because on the morning of October 24, the complaint on Rafale deal submitted by BJP leaders Yashwant Sinha and Arun Shourie was going to be investigated by Verma,” he said, adding that it was also the reason for the transfer of 12 officials of the agency after Verma was divested of his powers. Slamming Modi, the Congress leader said, “Only the Prime Minister can answer these questions. People are demanding answers for this conspiracy.”

Maruti has sold over 7200 units of the Omni in the month of September. However, the sale of the Eeco will marginally increase once the Omni gets discontinued. The lack of Omni from Maruti’s portfolio will be gloomy for those who loved the boxy van.

Mumbai, Oct 27 (Agencies): The Maruti Omni has been selling for more than three decades now and it has seen many versions such as personal car, taxi, ambulance, cargo, etc. Now the company has to discontinue the Omni van for safety reasons. The Omni will not sell beyond October 2020 when the Bharat New Vehicles Safety Assessment Program (BNVSAP) will be applied. The Maruti Omni’s flat front lacks the structural rigidity to conform to the new crash norms. It cannot be fitted with crumple zones to absorb the impact in case of a collision. The van also doesn’t come with any safety features such as airbags, ABS or EBD. There are certain vehicles from Maruti’s port-

In a bid to make itself more competitive, Kapil informed those present at the launch that while other brands offer 1 year warranty, Intex offers 3 years warranty. Adding that the product has a great potential in the state, he said there are plans afloat to set up a showroom even in Kohima. The brief inauguration programme was chaired by the proprietor, Nungtok Jamir and the dedicatory prayer was pronounced by Rev Dr Robert Singh of Baptist Worship Centre, Rio Colony.

SBI has also removed the limit on the amount that can be deposited in a nonhome branch. Earlier the limit was Rs 25,000. Meanwhile, SBI has been urging its customers who hold magstripe debit cards to switch to chip-based debit cards. “Do not take a chance; get enhanced security for your #debit card by applying for the SBI EMV Chip debit card without any fee at your branch or through OnlineSBI,” said SBI in another tweet. Those holding magstripe debit cards are required to change their EMV chip debit cards by the end of this year, according to RBI’s guidelines. EMV chip card technology, the latest global standard for debit card payments, helps protect against card fraud (skimming). In another recent communication, SBI has also said account holders have to register their mobile numbers with the bank by 1 December 2018, failing which the bank will block access to their net banking accounts.

says on its website. The move on part of SBI to reduce the daily withdrawal limit was to reduce fraudulent transactions at ATMs and to encourage digital and cashless transactions. “The bank has been receiving many complaints regarding cloning. Due to this, the decision is taken to reduce the withdrawal limit on these cards,” a Press Trust of India report cited an SBI official as saying. In the recent past, SBI has announced many changes for the benefit of customers. SBI in a recent communication on Twitter has said that account holders can submit Form 15G/H at any SBI branch, instead of just the home branch. “No need to worry about going to the home branch anymore! Now, SBI accepts your form 15G/H at any and every SBI branch,” SBI said on Twitter. A home branch is the branch where a customer has a bank account. All other branches of the bank are non-home branches for the customer. SBI also allows submission of Form 15G/H online. Banks have to deduct TDS when interest income crosses a certain threshold in a financial year. Form
According to sources, the government had raised concerns related to liquidity crises among housing finance companies and smaller NBFCs. However, the RBI felt that there is no systematic cash crunch and was not ready for a special refinance window for NBFCs, sources said. The economic affairs secretary and the financial services secretary are the two government representatives on the RBI board. Last week, the RBI had announced regulatory relaxations and incentives, giving banks room to lend more to NBFCs and HFCs to increase liquidity. The measures were in the wake of the lending freeze witnessed following the IL&FS crisis, which also caused jitters in the stock markets. The government had also demanded aligning the RBI’s prompt corrective action (PCA) framework with the global practices, in terms of internationally accepted Basel norms for banks. The Centre feels this will unlock capital to the tune of Rs 600 billion and help banks to provide liquidity to NBFCs and MSMEs. However, the RBI showed reluctance to ease the PCA framework. At present, 11 of 21 PSBs are under the RBI’s PCA framework.

Mumbai, Oct 27 (Agencies): For SBI account holders, new ATM cash withdrawal rules kick in from October 31. SBI, the country’s largest bank, will reduce the daily cash withdrawal limit for Classic and Maestro debit cards to Rs 20,000 per day, from Rs 40,000, with effect from 31 October 2018. SBI account holders having higher daily cash withdrawal requirements can apply for other debit card variants that have a higher daily withdrawal limit, the bank has said in a communication. As of March 2018, SBI had issued over 39.50 crore debit cards while around 26 crore cards were being actively used. There will be no changes in the daily withdrawal limits on other SBI debit cards. For example, SBI’s Gold and Platinum debit cards have a daily ATM withdrawal limit of Rs 50,000 and Rs 1 lakh, respectively. “Daily cash withdrawal limits for Classic and Maestro debit cards reduced from Rs 40,000 to Rs 20,000 per day with effect from 31st Oct 2018. If you require a higher daily cash withdrawal limit, please apply for a higher card variant,” SBI
New Delhi, Oct 27 (Agencies): Executives of six large public sector banks on Friday assured Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and officials that they have enough financial firepower to support the non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) plagued by liquidity crisis. According to sources, executives from State Bank of India, Punjab National Bank, Bank of Baroda, and three more banks briefed the finance minister through video conferencing on the liquidity crisis in NBFCs. Economic Affairs Secretary Subhash Chandra Garg and Financial Services Secretary Rajiv Kumar attended the discussions. Jaitley told the bankers to ensure there are no defaults on payments obligations by NBFCs. The bankers, in turn, are learnt to have told the minister and his officials that they have ‘sufficient liquidity”, and that while there are sectoral stresses, not many NBFCs have approached them even after they were provided higher lending room. The video conference with the bankers comes days after the board of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) held discussions on liquidity situation in the NBFC market.

SL president suspends parl C O LO M B O, O c t 2 7 (Agencies): Sri Lanka’s President Maithripala Sirisena on Saturday suspended parliament till Nov. 16, a day after removing Ranil Wickremesinghe as prime minister and replacing him with former leader Mahinda Rajapaksa in a surprise move that signals escalating political tensions in the South Asian nation. “The president has prorogued the parliament,” cabinet spokesman Rajitha Senaratne told reporters. Minutes earlier Wickremesinghe, who says he remains prime minister, urged the speaker to convene parliament to prove he retained his parliamentary majority. “I have the majority in the parliament, convene the parliament to resolve this,” Wickremesinghe told a press conference in Colombo on Saturday, flanked by all his coalition partners except Sirisena’s party. “Only parliament can show who has the majority,” he said. The parliament suspension means Wickremesinghe will not immediately have an opportunity to prove his majority, amid speculation that some of his party members would cross over to back Rajapaksa for perks and ministerial portfolios. The island nation’s Media and Finance Minister Mangala Samaraweera on Friday condemned Rajapaksa’s appointment as “an anti-democratic coup” and violation of the constitution. A delegation of the European Union said on Saturday that it was closely following the events in Sri Lanka. “We urge all parties to fully act in accordance with Sri Lanka’s constitution, to refrain from violence, to follow due institutional process, to respect the independence of institutions,
Maithripala Sirisena
and freedom of media.” Sirisena administered the oath of office to Rajapaksa on Friday after sacking Wickremesinghe, who was away touring the south of the country. Under Sri Lanka’s constitution, the prime minister heads parliament and the president has executive powers. The political rift, which comes amid weakening economic growth in Sri Lanka, follows months of infighting in the ruling coalition. Relations between Wickremesinghe’s United National Party and Sirisensa’s United People’s Freedom Alliance have been strained recently after Sirisensa criticized Wickremesinghe’s for
not adequately investigating an assassination plot against the president. The UPFA had threatened to quit the ruling coalition. Sirisena accused India’s intelligence services of involvement in that plot, a claim New Delhi and Colombo have both denied. There was no immediate reaction from India which has long seen Sri Lanka, located just off its southern tip, as part of its area of influence. India’s foreign ministry did not respond to a request seeking comment on the change of leadership in Sri Lanka. India has been concerned about Rajapaksa’s wooing of China, he ushered in billions of dollars of investment from Beijing to help rebuild the country following the end of a 26year-long civil war. That investment has since put the island nation deep in debt and forced it to hand over control of a strategic southern port to China, drawing criticism from India and the United States.
Syria’s UN envoy threatens to retake rebel stronghold of Idlib United Nation, Oct 27 (IANS): Syria’s permanent representative to the UN Bashar Jaafari on Friday threatened that his country will retake Idlib province, the last major rebel stronghold and home to a demilitarized buffer zone agreed to by Russia and Turkey. “Idlib is a dearly held part of my country. We are determined to recover Idlib,” Jaafari told the Security Council. “We allow for diplomatic and political work. But our right under the UN Charter and international law allows us to fully recover Idlib when we deem necessary,” he said, Xinhua reported. Ru s s i a n P r e s i d e n t Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan agreed to establish a demilitarized zone within Idlib province on September 17 in bid to avert a full-scale assault on the rebel stronghold. After Jafaari’s statement to the Security Coun-
cil, British ambassador to the United Natons Karen Pierce requested clarification on the Syrian government’s stance. Jafaari replied, “It’s not surprising to say on behalf of my government that we will restore sovereignty over Idlib because it’s part of our territory, in a time we deem it appropriate.” Russian ambassador to the UN Vassily Nebenzia said the retaking of Idlib does not contradict with the Russian-Turkish agreement on Idlib. “I would like to confirm what was said by the distinguished representative of the Syrian Arab Republic that we are talking about a territory which is part of sovereign Syria,” he said. “It goes without saying that we believe that ultimately the legitimate Syrian authorities will require control over all of their territory which makes up the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic. There is no contradiction with the Russian-Turkish agreement.”

‘Khashoggi’s killers will be prosecuted’ Riyadh, Oct 27 (Agencies): Saudi Arabia will prosecute the suspects in the murder of prominent journalist Jamal Khashoggi, the kingdom’s Foreign Minister Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir said Saturday after Turkey called for their extradition. “On the issue of extradition, the individuals are Saudi nationals. They’re detained in Saudi Arabia, and the investigation is in Saudi Arabia, and they will be prosecuted in Saudi Arabia,” Jubeir said at a regional defense forum in the Bahraini capital. Jubeir’s comments come the day after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for the extradition of 18 Saudi nationals authorities say were involved in the murder of Khashoggi, a Saudi government critic killed in his country’s consulate in Istanbul this month. After denying knowledge of Khashoggi’s whereabouts for nearly three weeks, Riyadh admitted Khashoggi’s murder had been “premeditated” but denied the involvement of the kingdom’s powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir
Addressing the mounting skepticism around the kingdom’s involvement in the killing, Jubeir said that the global outcry and media focus on the killing of Khashoggi earlier this month has become “hysterical” as he urged the public to wait for the results of an investigation before ascribing blame to the kingdom’s top leadership. “This issue has become fairly hysterical,” Jubeir said. “I think people have assigned blame on Saudi Arabia with such certainty before the investigation is complete.” “We will overcome it,” Jubeir told the defense forum. Jubeir said that the issue is being thoroughly investigated, adding that, “We will know the truth. We
will hold those responsible accountable. And we will put in place mechanisms to ensure it doesn’t happen again.” But he cautioned that “investigations take time.” Once an insider in Saudi royal circles, Khashoggi fell out of favor with the monarchy after Mohammed bin Salman was named heir to the throne last year. The columnist went into self-imposed exile in the United States, where he wrote a column for The Washington Post, which was often critical of the crown prince. Khashoggi was last seen entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2 to complete paperwork for his wedding to his Turkish fiancée, Hatice Cengiz. Turkey alleges a 15member hit squad was sent to Istanbul to kill the journalist, a onetime Saudi insider who became an outspoken critic of Crown Prince Mohammed in columns for The Washington Post. Erdogan has said the three others in the group of 18 who have been detained in Saudi Arabia were consulate employees.

Nagaland Fashion Week A Star Is Born tops UK singles and album charts to be held in Kma & Dmu L ady Gaga continues to shine with her A Star Is Born co-star Bradley Cooper, as they rule both the albums and singles charts. And while the duet is Gaga’s first number one single for more than eight years, this is the third time the singer has landed the double.
She earned it first in 2009 with her debut album The Fame and Poker Face. The singer then did it again in 2010 with The Fame Monster reissue when Telephone went to number one. But it isn’t all about Gaga, as Cooper is the first Hollywood actor to
achieve a number one single since Nicole Kidman sang with Robbie Williams for the 2001 Christmas number one Somethin’ Stupid. However, it’s far too early to guess whether the new hit film can replicate the success of The Greatest Showman. The soundtrack to
the whimsical Hugh Jackman film has been in the top five since its release in January and spent 21 weeks at number one. Top five singles 1) Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper Shallow 2) Calvin Harris and Sam Smith Promises 3 ) D ave f t Fr e d o Funky Friday
4) Marshmello ft Bastille Happier 5) Rita Ora Let You Love Me Gaga and Cooper also knocked down last week’s number one, Promises by Calvin Harris and Sam Smith, to number two. Although it’s been four weeks since Dave and
Fredo came through with Funky Friday, the British rap song is sitting pretty at number three. There are five new entries in the singles chart, the highest being Post Malone’s Sunflower featuring Swae Lee, from the brand new Spider-Man film, at number seven. (BBC)

Lamenting the lack of support particularly in Fashion industry in the state, the association stated that Fashion industry is undoubtedly the fastest growing industry in the world which also offers huge employment opportunities and an avenue which can somehow solve unemployment problem. And that our state, inspite of having many potential youth to run such industries, are fading away due to lack of opportunities and lack of industries in the state. In this regard the association urged upon the government to project on government industries in the state which can benefit countless unemployment youths and will also help uplift the state economy. The event at Kohima will be graced by supermodel Ketholeno Kense and Professor Theyiesenuo Keditsu while in Dimapur the grand finale will be grace by commissioner & secretary, Industries and Commerce Lithrongla G Chishi (IAS) as ‘Lady of the event.’ The event will be sponsored by friends and wellwishers.

Liverpool beat Cardiff 4-1
Salah slams home from close range for Liverpool to give them a 10th minute lead.
Lo n d o n, O c t 2 7 (Agencies): Sadio Mane’s double helped unbeaten Liverpool go top of the Premier League table with a well-earned 4-1 victory over Cardiff at Anfield. The hosts were dominant from the off, with Mohamed Salah giving them a ninth-minute lead with his fourth goal for Liverpool in his last three appearances in all competitions. Cardiff survived a siege on their goal in the first half before taking the attack to Liverpool in the second, but Mane’s 66th-minute strike seemingly ended any hope of a comeback for the visitors. However, Callum Paterson deservedly got Cardiff back in it with 13 minutes to go . Nonetheless, late goals from substitute Xherdan Shaqiri (84) and Mane (87) made sure of another three points that keeps Liverpool unbeaten in the league this season sends them top. Cardiff, after a spirited effort, stay 17th. Liverpool flew out of
Finch named Aus ODI captain
Sydney, Oct 27 (Agencies): Aaron Finch has replaced Tim Paine as Australia’s ODI captain ahead of their 50-over series against South Africa. Wicketkeeper-batsman Paine has been left out of the one-day squad after leading Australia during England’s historic 5-0 ODI series whitewash in June. Australia T20 captain Finch - generally considered a specialist one-day batsman - spent the summer with Surrey while also impressing in national colours, beating his own world-record score with 172 in a T20I against Zimbabwe in July. He is joined by wicketkeeper Alex Carey and pace bowler Josh Hazlewood as vice-captains in the 14-man squad. “It’s very exciting. I’m very humbled, very honoured to lead the side and lead Australia,” said Finch. Pat Cummins, who alongside Hazlewood was ruled out of Australia’s two-Test series against Pakistan due to injury, also returns to the squad, while Travis Head, Shaun Marsh and D’Arcy Short have retained their spots.
the blocks and put Cardiff under pressure right from the off, taking the lead with just nine minutes on the clock. Mane’s initial effort from just inside the box was charged down, Georginio Wijnaldum was then also denied by a fine block, but Salah was on hand to slot home from the tight angle to net his 51st goal for Liverpool. The only downside to Liverpool’s play was that they were trying to be overly intricate in the final third, with Cardiff just about hanging on. Adam Lallana did almost net that second on the stroke of half-time, but saw his header cleared off the line by Cardiff captain Sean Morrison. Cardiff came out for the second half with added impetus, but could not create that killer opening, and their lack of potency was punished when Mane made space for the shot himself, before firing an unstoppable strike into the net from the edge of the box to double Liverpool’s advantage.
Liverpool took their foot off the gas after Mane’s goal, which allowed Cardiff to get themselves back in it through Paterson. Junior Hoilett’s low cross was deflected closer to Allison’s goal by Van Dijk, Paterson stole a march, before prodding the ball home. Liverpool had gone 918 Premier League minutes without conceding at Anfield. It was not long, though, before Liverpool made sure of the victory with Shaqiri who made a huge difference after coming off the bench - finishing off his first goal for Liverpool smartly after being picked out by Salah in the box. Salah then provided a sumptuous pass for Mane, who raced through before lofting the ball over Etheridge to put the icing on the cake with his 50th Premier League goal.

WI beat India by 43 runs
Pune, Oct 27 (PTI): Centurion Virat Kohli threw the concept of law of averages in sport out of the equation with another milestone but the Indian team’s collective failure allowed the West Indies to level the series with a 43-run win in the third ODI here Saturday. After making a commendable recovery from a shaky start to post 283 for nine on the board, West Indies bowlers rattled the Indian middle and lower middle-order, to snuff out a victory and level the series. The hosts were bundled out for 240 in 47.4 overs. India had won the lung-opener in Guwahati before West Indies ensured a tie in the second game at Visakhapatnam. Between victory and defeat, stood a determined Kohli (107), who notched up his 38th ODI hundred and seventh against the Windies. The India skipper was going all guns blazing till he was dismissed. India had their chances till Kohli was at the crease. But West Indies skipper Jason Holder’s gamble to bring in off-spinner Marlon Samuels (3-12) paid off, as he got the prized wicket of Kohli in the 42nd over and that changed the complexion of the game. Kohli tried to pull a quicker one by Samuels,

but missed it and the ball came onto the stumps. After Kohli’s dismissal it was just a matter of time. Samuels added two more wickets to his kitty. With track slowing down, it proved to be a tough job for the Indian tailenders. In contrast, West Indies’ lower-order batsmen Ashley Nurse (40) and Kemar Roach (15) produced a crucial 56-run stand for the ninth wicket.
Kohli, who walked in early after the fall of Rohit Sharma (8), took down to settle. Looking stable as ever, the India captain notched up his fifty with a pull shot and eventually reached the three-figure mark with a single down to fine leg in company of Bhuvanehwar Kumar (10). Shikhar Dhawan (35), Ambati Rayadu (22) and Rishabh Pant (24) got starts but failed to convert them as the Windies bowlers stuck at

regular intervals. A lot was expected from veteran Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who was dropped from the West Indies and Australia T20 series. But he fell for mere 7, giving Holder his second wicket. For the Windies, Holder (2/46), Obed McCoy (2/38) and Ashley Nurse (2/48) played their roles to perfection. Earlier, pacer Jasprit Bumrah denied Shai Hope a second-consecutive century on his way to a four-wicket haul but the West Indies made a superb recovery after a shaky start. Bumrah sent both the visiting openers, Kieran Powell (21) and Chanderpaul Hemraj (15), in his first spell to give India a solid start and later dismissed Hope and Ashley Nurse (40). Hope played a significant role in reviving the Caribbean innings with his 95-run knock, which came off 113 balls. Towards the end, Nurse and Kemar Roach (15 not out) added crucial 56 runs for the ninth wicket, taking the side close to 300-run mark. Brief scores: West Indies 283-9 (Shai Hope 95, Ashley Nurse 40; Jasprit Bumrah 4-35) beat India 240 in 47.4 overs (Virat Kohli 107; Marlon Samuels 3-12) by 43 runs.

ISL: Mumbai City FC beat Delhi Dynamos Mumbai, Oct 27 (Agencies): Mumbai City FC add-on to Delhi Dynamos’ woes as they beat them 2-0 on Saturday. Modou Sougou and Arnold Issoko were on target to guide the home side to a crucial win. After a few erratic minutes, the first half-chance of the match fell in the way of the visitors. Chhangte’s cross from the left was unconvincingly headed away by Goian and the loose ball fell to Romeo, whose volley flew a few above the bar. The hosts drew the first blood on the half-hour mark when Arnold ring in a low cross into the area which was poked home by a diving Sougou. There was more drama just after play resumed in the second half. Arnold’s pace had been a constant threat for the Dynamos’ defence and this time, Rana Gharami had to take him down inside the area. Rafael Bastos, however, couldn’t convert the penalty-kick. Delhi’s plan to go with a high defensive line seemed detrimental as Arnold was fed with a through ball by Bastos from their own half. With no defender to be seen within a 10-yard radius, the Congolese winger dribbled past the onrushing goalkeeper and slotted the ball home.
