and development of the Nagas as a whole, adding that “unity is strength”.

Reiterating that mother tongue was the basic identity of an individual, Acharya urged upon the gathering not to neglect or forget their mother tongue and their cultural and traditional practices. He also lamented that despite the efforts of the central government, the Centrally Sponsored Schemes were not reaching the beneficiaries. In this regard, he called upon the people to rededicate themselves and fight against corruption.

Expressing disappointment with the condition and functioning of the Interna-

tional trade centre (ITC) and its office, the governor directed the local MLA and the administration to submit the actual report on the status of ITC. Nagaland lone Lok Sabha MP, Neiphiu Rio, who also graced inauguration programme as guest of honour, highlighted the adoption of Longwa village and construction of Angh’s house. Rio adopted Longwa village on November 4, 2015. He said with the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of developing India, all the Member of Parliaments were entrusted to utilize the MPLAD funds to adopt villages and make MP model villages.

He said though the Angh’s house was just another house, it has a meaningful significance.

According to him, since Nagas were spread all over the states of Assam, Manipur, Arunachal and Myanmar, apart from Nagaland, he had selected the residence of Longwa Village Angh; a village which is divided into Myanmar and India, as a symbol of peace and unity within Nagas.

Armed forces are answerable to govt, says SC

NEW DELHI, Oct 28 (PTI): Armed forces are answerable to the government, otherwise there will be martial law in the country, the Supreme Court said Friday.

A bench of Justices Amitava Roy and U.U Lalit made this observation as it dismissed a plea seeking action against Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar for allegedly interfering and claiming credit for the surgical strikes conducted by Army in PoK. “This plea is not maintainable and is hence dismissed.

Armed forces are answerable to the government, otherwise you will have martial law in this country. We don’t see any merit in the plea,” the bench said.

Advocate M L Sharma, who had filed the plea, said that Union Ministers including the Defence Minister had been claiming credit for the surgical strikes carried out by the Indian Army, for which they are not entitled to because as per the provisions of the Constitution, the President is the head of the armed forces. He alleged that the armed forces’ action was being used for the per(Cont’d on p-5) sonal interests of a few.

Zeliang along with officials and representative of the firms. (CMO)

DIMAPUR, OCT 28 (NPN): Nagaland chief minister, T.R. Zeliang on Friday asked the contractors and departmental officials to provide good quality roads to the people, saying roads are the lifeline of the public.

CMO media cell through a press note said Zeliang, during the review meeting on the progress of the 4-lane highway work (Dimapur-Kohima) with the contractors, NHIDCL, Border Roads Organisation and officials of National Highways and Roads & Bridges, reminded them that people does not only want the project to be completed on time but to have high quality roads.

“This is the first 4-lane project in the State and all eyes are on you,” he told

the representatives of the contractors, ECI Engineering and Construction Co Ltd and Gayatri-Maytas firms.

The chief minister opined that works should first begin in areas where the road conditions were bad and sinking, so that the stretches in relatively good conditions could be spared for smooth flow of traffic.

“The BRO has been dealing with the problems of sinking roads and landslides for so many years now that I feel they have become sort of experts in this field,” said Zeliang while suggesting the contractors to use their expertise.

According to CMO, the firms said their priority was to complete the works even before the stipulated

time and at the same time keeping in mind the smooth flow of the traffic while the works are in progress.

However, the firms expressed apprehension that in the process of executing the works, there may come a time when only one-lane road could be made available for traffic and sought cooperation from the government in regulating the flow of traffic.

In areas where blasting of rocky mountains would be carried out with dynamites, the firms informed that traffic would have to stopped for 30 minutes or more for safety reasons.

To this, the chief minister assured full cooperation to allow smooth flow of works.

T.R. Zeliang sacks BJP legislator from ministry NVCO demands termination of backdoor appointees in H&FW

Correspondent

KOHIM, OCT 28 (NPN): In a major political development, Nagaland chief minister T.R. Zeliang on Friday removed BJP MLA, Mmhonlumo Kikon from the post of parliamentary secretary (Labour Employment, Skill Development & Entrepreneurship and Border Affairs) with immediate effect.

This was stated in notification issued by cabinet secretary R.B. Thong on October 28, 2016.The BJP has four legislators and all of who are in the all-party DAN government.

Though the reason was not made known, highly placed sources informed Nagaland Post that Kikon was probably removed because of his alleged antiNPF-led Democratic Alliance of Nagaland (DAN) government activities, of which the BJP with four

legislators is also in alliance.

When contacted, Nagaland state unit BJP president Visasolie Lhoungu disclosed that a state BJP party delegation met the chief minister earlier at his residence. At the meeting, he said the chief minister expressed disappointment against the activities of Kikon in addition the PIL filed in relation with the oil imbroglio.

Lhoungu however said it was not known whether Kikon was sacked because of the oil issue or some other reason. He said if the chief minister has enough evidence of Kikon going against the interest of the government, then it was left to the state chief minister and his government to take action.

When queried whether it would have any impact on the alliance of the state BJP party or Central party

leadership after the unceremonious and sudden removal of Kikon, Lhoungu said the Central leadership might not appreciate the decision.

However, he presumed that as the NPF which was in alliance with the BJP, the chief minister must have taken the decision to sack Kikon after due consultation with Central party leadership.

The BJP state president, Lhoungu also said he did not wish to comment on the issue for now, but reiterated that the party did not have any inkling or prior information about why its legislator was sacked from the T.R. Zeliang ministry.

On the other hand, another party source claimed that the decision was taken after due consultation with the BJP party leaders and BJP legislators.

Meanwhile efforts to

contact BJP legislature party leader Paiwang Konyak and Mmhonlumo Kikon proved futile.

The sacking of Mmhonlumo from the T.R. Zeliang ministry could also reveal a larger strategy by the NPF to totally neutralise even any perceived criticism or ‘equi-distance’ shown with regard to current leadership and former chief minister and present Lok Sabha MP Neiphiu Rio. During the revolt against the leadership of T.R. Zeliang in JanuaryFebruary 2015, the majority of NPF legislators sided with the Kaito-Noke group.

During that crisis, three BJP legislators were with the anti-T.R. Zeliang group except for minister of transport Paiwang Konyak.

Meanwhile, Mmhonlumo Kikon could not be contacted as he was reportedly out of station.

KO H I M A , O C T 2 8 (NPN): Nagaland Voluntary Consumers Association (NVCO) has demanded the state government to terminate 280 backdoor appointments in the Health and Family Welfare (H&FW) department, saying “they had no genuine reason to clarify”.

NVCO was reacting to the show cause notice issued by the H&FW to 280 employees who were appointed without sanctioned post during 2014-16. However, as the deadline for the show cause notice ended, the issue now lies with the state government whether to dismiss or suspend those backdoor appointees, sources informed Nagaland Post.

When contacted NVCO president Kezhok-

hoto Savi told Nagaland Post, that around 300 backdoor appointments in the H&FW- (NVCO on June 5, 2016 revealed that as per RTI reply under H&FW 319 were appointed without any vacancy or approval of the government from 2014 to May 2016)- were done without sanctioned posts.

He said the back door appointees, whether they reply to the show cause notice or not, should be terminated as state government was incurring huge loss due to payment of salaries.

Savi also demanded that those responsible officers who had issued the appointments should also be penalized or their pension benefits stopped. As per RTI reply furnished by NVCO on June 5, 2016, the appointments were made by two retired principle directors from

2014-till May 2016, without any vacancy or approval of the government. However, Savi said the backdoor appointees have no genuine reason to respond on the show cause notice, saying “it was their own creation to get appointed”.

Expressing dismay on the manner in which the state government was handling the case, Savi alleged that the failure of the government to penalise the erring officers has encouraged the trend to continue.

In some cases, he claimed that politicians were the ones who exert pressure on officials for backdoor appointments.

Sources also informed that those 280 back door appointees were of grade III and IV without sanctioned posts and approval of the state government.

KO H I M A , O C T 2 7 (NPN): Veyieta Memorial Government High School (VMGHS) Porba under Chizami sub-division of Phek district Thursday celebrated 25 years of its existence with Rajya Sabha MP, K G Kenye as chief guest.

In his address, Kenye said that because of the Naga political struggle Naga people were yet to catch up with the quality education system.

Expressing that in this fast paced world, there were many influences both from the modern technology and traditional system of life, Kenye urged all to strive hard for what was right and good K

Y M C

thereby strengthening the foundation for excellence.

Pointing out that Naga forefathers’ virtue of truthfulness, honesty and hardwork was fast diminishing, he opined that the good virtues of the forefathers should be imbibed upon the youngsters through the educational institutes.

He also honoured the pioneers of the school for their dedication and hard work in bringing laurels and in producing many prominent personalities in various fields.

Deputy commissioner Phek, Muruho Chotso who graced the occasion as the guest of honour congratulated the pioneers of the school and also extended best wishes for a brighter future. He said that no

one could be judged by being a mere graduate as many of them do not have any skills and do not want to take up any job, except white coloured job.

Technical courses should be taken up in order to be self-reliant instead of being a simple graduate without any skills, he said.

Earlier, the chief guest also unveiled the jubilee celebration monolith of the school and also released the jubilee souvenir.

The programme was chaired by VMGHS Porba headmaster, Etsongoyi.

Special numbers were presented by students of the school 25th anniversary choir. Executive secretary CRCC Rev Vevozo Khamo pronounced benediction.

DIMAPUR: More organizations including BJP Nagaland strongly condemned the killing of a GPRN/NSCN member and injury to another in an operation carried out by 28 Assam Rifles at Okotos village, Wokha on October 23. Assam Rifles have also come under heavy criticism for forcefully occupying Mekokla Baptist Church building and its guest house on October 22.

Central Nagaland Students’ Association (CNSA) attacked Assam Rifles of failing to honour the cease-fire agreement laid down rules, when the Naga Political problem was on the stage of finding an amicable solution.

In a press statement, CNSA president Charles Lotha and general secretary Yimlanger Jamir said that the action of AR was in total violation of Ceasefire agreement between Government of India and Naga Political Groups (NPGs).

They alleged that the “high handedness and barbaric” action of the AR has created a vacuum of hostility and havoc among the peace loving Naga people.

CNSA claimed that the attack was “totally pre-planned” by AR to disturb the peace process. The association also accused Indian army of playing “hypocritical attitude” by using AFSPA and ceasefire agreement as tools to flex their military muscle in the region. In such a situation, CNSA viewed that NPGs should retrospect and introspect and abrogate the ceasefire and fight against the occupational forces.

Further, the association stated that the when the Naga political problem was nearing for finding an amicable solution, the AR’s failure to honour the cease-fire agreement

laid down rules have created fear psychosis among the people.

In this regard, CNSA urged upon the government of India to revoke the draconic law-Armed Forces Special Power Acts (AFSPA) in Nagaland when Nagas are longing for an amicable solution after decades of confrontation for the Naga Political problem.

CNSA also condemned the forceful occupation of Mekokla Baptist Church building by the 28 Assam Rifles without respecting the sanctity of the religious place.

The association said that attitude of the AR has deeply hurt the religious sentiment of the Naga people and termed the act as an infringement against Christianity.

Therefore, CNSA urged State government to take up the matter seriously with the Indian Army and Ceasefire Monitoring Board to ensure that such action was not repeated.

ENPO: Eastern Nagaland People’s Organisation (ENPO) while condemning the October 23 firing incident, appealed to both the security forces and the members of Naga Political Groups (NPGs) to exercise maximum restraint.

In a press statement, ENPO president Khoiwang Konyak and general secretary Manlang Phom also appealed to the security forces to avoid such “needless assault” at all cost by adhering to the norms of ceasefire ground rules.

They said that the forceful occupation of the church by the security forces at Mekokla village was unconstitutional.

“It is an assault on the democratic and secular fabric of the country and those responsible must be made answerable before

the law”, ENPO said. Meanwhile, ENPO has expressed shock on the assassination attempt on the life of Kiumakum Yimchunger, a senior functionary of NNC/GDRN. It asked the members of groups to come together and solve the difference if any, instead of indulging in intolerance and violence, which will only lead to further chaos, misunderstanding and crisis among the Naga family.

BJP Nagaland: Expressing concern on the October 23 firing incident and forceful occupation of a church by Assam Rifles, BJP Nagaland state unit urged the armed forces utmost restraint while performing their duties. The party also appealed to all Naga Political Groups to adhere to the ceasefire ground rules in the interest of the general public.

BJP Nagaland spokesman Yanghose Sangtam termed the incident as unfortunate when the people of the state were yearning to live in peace and harmony. Further, the party urged the higher authority to take up forceful occupation of the Mekokla Baptist Church premises by 28 Assam Rifles with seriousness.

MSU: Mekokla Students’ Union (MSU) has strongly condemned the forceful occupation of Mekokla Baptist Church by 28 AR on the night of August 22.

In a condemnation note, MSU president Benrithung Kikon and general secretary Zirenthung Yanthan lamented that instead of an accommodation being offered and repeated opposition by both the Pastor and village council the commander in charge said it was under his jurisdiction and has the right to do whatever he wish and occupied

the Church forcefully.

MSU condemned the action which, it stated, was an act of insult to the Nagas (as Nagas are mostly Christians) and to the Christian Nations. “Church, Mandir or Mosque is a place of worship and honouring God, not a place for warfare strategy,” MSU stated. The MSU termed the AR as “indisciplined soldiers” as they keep hurting the sentiments of the Nagas and violate our rights through the unlawful acts which are totally undemocratic. Using a church as a strategy for warfare shows the cowardice of the Assam Rifles, it added. “Let us not go back to the past atrocities committed by the Indian soldiers and repeat the same in this present scenario as the wounds are still yet to be healed,” MSU appealed.

Therefore, MSU condemned and appealed to the higher authority of Assam Rifles to restrain from such barbaric and unwanted act in their land.

MSU further maintained that everyone should respect the terms of democracy and human rights.

The union further appealed to all right thinking Naga people to condemn such act and behaviour towards a Christian church made by so called “Friends of the Hill People.”

LYOBES Condemns: Lotha Yingsung Olongo Baptist Ekhümkho Sanrhyu (LYOBES) in a condemnation note by its chairman E. Khodao Mozhui and secretary Robin Lotha vehemently condemned the 28 Assam Rifles Doyang commander outpost under Wokha District for carrying out military force operation at Mekola Baptist Church.

Vibrant, progressive NE important for India, says Chandrasekhar ITANAGAR, OCT 28 (AGENCIES): The new economic model of Prime Minister Narenda Modi is to make entrepreneurship a reality as it has become a fundamental for growth, observed Rajya Sabha MP Rajeev Chandrasekhar.

Delivering his keynote address in the two-day conclave of Young Leaders Connect (YLC) with the theme ‘Start-up North East, Stand-Up North East’ which began here on Friday the MP said in the changing

nature of economy, deficit states have to reinvent their economy model.

Chandrasekhar said a vibrant and progressive Northeast was important for India and therefore, there was significant motivation to develop the region.

Stating that politics of the region should move into politics of economy, he suggested the lawmakers of the region to approach the Centre for a special funding pattern for the entrepre-

neurs of the North Eastern states.

Emphasising on good connectivity, the MP said without connectivity there would be no growth in entrepreneurship in the region.

Speaking on the occasion, chief minister Pema Khandu said the Northeast was lagging behind due to lack of adequate knowledge and skill, despite having immense potentials and urged the Centre for special attention to the region as

per the Act East Policy.

Meghalaya MP Conrad Sangma in his deliberation termed entrepreneurship as a culture which needs to be developed in the Northeast.

The conclave would have panel discussions and a round-table discussion with experts and stakeholders.

The discussions would go beyond dialogue and towards deliverable goals applicable in a national and regional setting.

Helicopter service in Mnp on card Correspondent

IMPHAL, Oct 28: Manipur’s long pending proposal of connecting Imphal with headquarters of hill districts will be finally fulfilled as Centre has agreed to introduce chopper service under its Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS).

A memorandum of understanding (MoU) will be inked between chairman Guru Prasad Mahapatra of Airport Authority of India and managing director Dr. BP Sharma of Pawan Hans in Imphal on November 2.

Union civil aviation minister Gajapati Raju and civil aviation secretary RN Choubey will also be present, an official source said Friday.

Officials of the state transport department will represent Manipur government in signing the MoU, it added.

Manipur government has already submitted a proposal to introduce helicopter service between Imphal and other places of the state like Moreh, Ukhrul, Thanlon and Tamenglong.

Introduction of helicopter service in the state

was a long pending proposal which the Centre had given green signal on many occasions but never materialised.

In December 2010, Union ministry of home affairs had even asked the state government to submit the requisite information with regard to feasibility of the proposed service, initially between Imphal-Jiribam via Tamenglong and Imphal-Moreh.

State transport directorate was asked to coordinate the operations of the helicopter service for which state police will take care of security of helipads.

The approximate flying time for Imphal-Tamenglong is around 20 minutes, Tamenglong-Jiribam 15 minutes, Imphal-Jiribam 30 minutes, and Imphal-Moreh 27 minutes.

In the proposed service, Pawan Hans Ltd. was to provide helicopter on the same pattern and on subsidy basis as was supported by the MHA for such services in Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya state.

However, the same did not materialised for a long time for reasons best known to the authorities only.

district in the 2012 assembly polls, was declared null and void by a ruling of the High Court of Manipur on February 29 this year.

The r uling of the court was related with submission of a fake MBA certificate from Mysore University in his election affidavit.

Later, the Supreme Court, responding to an appeal by the MLA stayed the order of the High Court of Manipur that declared the election of M Prithviraj

as null and void on March 20, 2016. While staying the High Court verdict, the apex court maintained that the petitioner (Prithviraj) is permitted to participate in the proceedings but not to vote and draw remuneration as a legislator.

After a final hearing on May 5 this year, the division bench of justice Anil R Dave and L Nageswara Rao pronounced its verdict dismissing the appeal of the M Prithivraj.

A copy of the order

of the apex court available with this correspondent states “The High Court has taken into consideration an anomalous situation that would arise by a candidate belonging to one party being declared elected after having crossed the floor.

We are in agreement with the High Court and we do not intend to interfere with the discretion exercised by the High Court. For the aforesaid reasons, the Civil Appeal is dismissed. No order as to costs.”

Terror is a weapon of cowards: HM

GREATER NOIDA, OCT 28 (PTI): Making a veiled reference, Home Minister Rajnath Singh today said Pakistan was indulging in a proxy war and has been trying to harm India by taking “cowardly” aid of terrorism.

“The neighbouring country has been carrying out proxy war. But terrorism is not a weapon of the brave but of cowards. Those who fight from behind are called cowards...they take the help of terrorism,” he said.

Speaking at the 55th raising day event of border guarding force Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) at its camp here, he said strict vigil by the force has resulted in 60 per cent less transgressions into the Indian territory by the Chinese People’s Liberation Army this year.

Referring to the current tensions between the two countries, he said the neighbour has been trying to harm India and was attempting to break and “destabilise” it by resorting to terrorism.

Singh said an “evil eye” is being cast on India to thwart its progress as it is marching on as one of the fastest growing economies of the world.

Situation along the

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh presenting medals at the 55th Raising Day Parade of the force at Greater Noida on Friday. (PTI) Indo-Pak border continues to remain tense after terrorists attacked an Army camp in Uri killing 19 soldiers on September 17.

In a retaliatory action, Indian Army carried out surgical strikes on terror launch pads in PoK on September 27. Firing by both Indian and Pakistani forces towards each other’s positions have been continuing leading to several deaths on both sides.

Singh had earlier instructed border guarding forces not to fire towards the enemy first, but not to count bullets if they are fired upon.

While condemning the inhuman act and heinous crime, the hoho urged upon the responsible law enforcing agencies to book the accused under non-bailable offence and bring justice at the earliest. SH further demanded that the accused be awarded the highest possible punishment as per the provision of the law.

STH: Sumi Totimi Hoho (STH) has vehemently

condemned the rape and murder the minor girl, by one Hoshepu of Nihoshe village. STH president Kitoli Naje in a statement disclosed that the victim, a class 4 student, was abducted by the accused on October 26 while she was returning home from school.

The accused murdered the victim after raping her, STH stated. STH said such uncivilized and barbaric crime has no place in our society. It further appealed the law enforcing agencies to penalize the culprit with the stringent punishment for committing the heinous crime and cautioned not to grant bail under any circumstances.

by Pakistan, he said, “Our soldiers are responding to them befittingly.”

To a question on the espionage case involving a diplomat of the Pakistani High Commission in India, he said the government is taking necessary action.

There have been several incidents in the past in the icy heights of Himalayas when ITBP had noticed transgression by the Chinese forces and there had been confrontations between the two sides.

All such transgression were successfully foiled by the ITBP personnel, Singh said. At today’s event, the Home Minister honoured

some ITBP personnel whose action led to foiling of PLA’s attempt to transgress Indian territory at Chumar in Ladakh two years ago.

Singh said due to the intensive vigil and bravery of Indian forces, no country in the world can now cast an evil eye on India and every time he sees these men and women he is filled with pride and confidence that the country is safe.

He also appreciated the personnel of ITBP, posted in Indian missions in Afghanistan, who had foiled terror attacks in Indian consulate in Mazar-e-Sharif and Jalalabd early this year as well as for undertaking effective anti-Naxal operations.

The Home Minister said it was the responsibility of the government to ensure that the morale of the jawans is not let down and various steps are being taken for this.

Chiefs of all forces have to ensure this, he said, adding that he would try his best to resolve the problems of the jawans.

Rajnath said the Home Ministry has recently enhanced the ex-gratia payments made to the families of the personnel killed on duty.

While enquiring from NHIDCL about NH-129 between Maram (Manipur) to Peren, Zeliang, in order to ease traffic flow, suggested diversion of Manipur-bound vehicles from Jharnapani to Peren and then to Maram.

He also directed R&B and National Highways officials to check the condition of the Dimapur-NiulandZhadima Highway and carry out necessary improvements and repair works so that an alternative route could be provided to vehicles while the 4-lane work was being carried out. He also asked BRO to expedite completion of Botsa-Bokajan highway to ease problems for commuters to and from northern districts to Dimapur.

On the other hand, Zeliang while lamenting about the poor conditions of roads in Kohima and Dimapur, directed the BRO, R&B and NH departments to immediately repair and improve the road conditions.

The firms undertaking the 4-laning works said jungle clearing along the route has already started and that by the second week of November the required machineries would reach the sites and works would continue almost 24/7 with 18 hours of work and 6 hours dedicated to maintenance of machineries.

CM Lauds NHIDCL: Further, chief minister T.R. Zeliang lauded the National Highways & Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) for its proposal to impart skills in various disciplines of Highway Construction Sector to 300 Naga youths within a year. He also informed NHIDCL officials, that coincidentally, Nagaland government had declared 2016 as the ‘Year of Construction Workers’ with the aim of imparting skills to the local youth in construction works.

Zeliang expressed gratitude to the Corporation and ex-

tended the government’s full cooperation to make its proposal a success.

Further, Zeliang directed officials to liaise with the department of Skills Development and ensure that sufficient number of local youths participate in the programme and benefit from it. He said this programme would be much more beneficial since selected candidates would be given hands-on training at worksites of the ongoing 4-lane.

CMO informed that NHIDCL, as part of its pilot project in Skill Development/Upgradation of workmen in highway construction sector, is planning to recruit Naga youths with minimum age of 18 years and educational qualification of 10th standard to undergo training (for freshers). This includes a 30-days module of 208 hours to operate excavator, hot mix plant, kerb paving, WMM plant, paver pperation, grader operation, batching plant, mechanic and compressor.

Under the category of Recognition of Prior Learning, a five-day module for workers at the project site on operation of various machineries would be imparted free of cost with basic amenities and a stipend, CMO added.

Smart city project to show results soon: Venkaiah Naidu

NEW DELHI, OCT 28 (PTI): Implementation of the Smart City project in 60 towns will entail an investment of Rs 1.35 lakh crore and 20 cities have started rolling out their schemes, says Urban Development Minister M Venkaiah Naidu.

While there is a stiff competition among states to get smart city projects in their cities, Uttar Pradesh has so far not shown any interest in the mega scheme, a brain child of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, says the Minister.

The results on the ground of the game changer scheme will be visible soon as the first batch of 20 cities are starting to roll

M Venkaiah Naidu out a range of projects to ensure better living, Naidu told PTI in an interview.

He said smart city mission is a huge landmark and a distinct departure from the past as far as the country’s approach to urban development is concerned.

“Cities are now imbibed with a new con-

sciousness to do things differently and with a spirit of competition. Accordingly, this mission is the corner stone of urban renaissance set in motion by this government.

“Under Smart City Mission, a total investment of about Rs 1,35,000 crore has been proposed by the 60 cities that have so far been identified for financing smart city plans. This is a huge leap forward as against the meager investments for urban develop-

ment in the past,” he said.

Identifying waste management as a challenge, Naidu said cities across India generate around 65 million tonnes of solid waste every year and government has drawn up a plan to convert the refuse into 50 lakh tones of compost and generate over 400 MW of power from it.

Naidu was critical of Samajwadi Party government in Uttar Pradesh for not being forthcoming in taking advantage of Cen-

tre’s various urban devel- forward to recasting the opment schemes including urban landscape with a spirit of competition. the smart cities project.

Implementation of competition-based smart city mission has helped make a paradigm shift in addressing problems of the cities.

Naidu said the states and urban local bodies, known for the notorious ‘business as usual’ and callous and lethargic approach to urban governance, planning and execution, are now looking

Yankee tricks

uch like Al Qaeda, the Islamic State (ISIS) is made-in-the-USA, an instrument of terror designed to divide and conquer the oil-rich Middle East and to counter Iran’s growing influence in the region. Had George W. Bush the 46th President not carried out his father and 43rd President George H.W. Bush’s pet obsession to destroy Saddam Hussein the Iraqi despot; things would have been more peaceful. Before the US invaded Iraq in 2003, with the plea of destroying the mythical ‘Weapons of Mass Destruction’ (WMD) there were no armed islamist groups like ISIS in Iraq. The Iraqi dictator may have been in the bad books of the Americans but at least he managed to keep a lid on Islamic terror groups. The US campaign that was without end was launched by George Bush. Instead the Iraqi invasion by the US and its western coalition has only tied America up in knots in an ever more grotesque contortions. The fact that the United States has a long and torrid history of backing terrorist groups will surprise only those who watch the news and ignore history. Former director of the National Security Agency under Ronald Reagan, General William Odom recently remarked, “by any measure the U.S. has long used terrorism. In 1978-79 the Senate was trying to pass a law against international terrorism – in every version they produced, the lawyers said the U.S. would be in violation.” The 2003 American invasion and occupation of Iraq created the preconditions for radical Sunni groups, like ISIS, to take root. America, rather unwisely, destroyed Saddam Hussein’s secular state machinery and replaced it with a predominantly Shiite administration. The US did not deliberately create ISIS but there would have been no ISIS but for American missteps and incompetence during the US occupation of Iraq. ISIS is not merely an instrument of terror used by America to topple the Syrian government; it is also used to put pressure on Iran. Even as American foreign policy makers claim to oppose Muslim extremism, they knowingly foment it as a weapon of foreign policy.

America is using ISIS in three ways: to attack its enemies in the Middle East, to serve as a pretext for U.S. military intervention abroad, and at home to foment a manufactured domestic threat, used to justify the unprecedented expansion of invasive domestic surveillance. the CIA gave birth to Osama Bin Laden and breastfed his organization during the 1980’s.

America still practices its doctrine of gun boat diplomacy and the American involvement in a global scale as the self appointed policeman has created serious problems worldwide. During the 1970’s the CIA used the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt as a barrier, both to thwart Soviet expansion and prevent the spread of Marxist ideology among the Arab masses.

After Iraq the US meddled in Libya and the latest being in Syria. The two most powerful groups in the U.S. foreign policy establishment are the Israel lobby, which directs U.S. Middle East policy, and the Military-Industrial-Complex, which profits from the former group’s actions. Since George W. Bush declared the “War on Terror” in October 2001, it has cost the American taxpayer approximately 6.6 trillion dollars and thousands of fallen sons and daughters; but, the wars have also raked in billions of dollars for Washington’s military elite. This a bit of the ugly side of the USA which its liberal media hides.

DailyDevotion Justification by Faith If when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

—Romans 5:10 I am not saved by believing— I simply realize I am saved by believing. And it is not repentance that saves me— repentance is only the sign that I realize what God has done through Christ Jesus. The danger here is putting the emphasis on the effect, instead of on the cause. Is it my obedience, consecration, and dedication that make me right with God? It is never that! I am made right with God because, prior to all of that, Christ died. When I turn to God and by belief accept what God reveals, the miraculous atonement by the Cross of Christ instantly places me into a right relationship with God. And as a result of the supernatural miracle of God’s grace I stand justified, not because I am sorry for my sin, or because I have repented, but because of what Jesus has done. The Spirit of God brings justification with a shattering, radiant light, and I know that I am saved, even though I don’t know how it was accomplished.

The salvation that comes from God is not based on human logic, but on the sacrificial death of Jesus. We can be born again solely because of the atonement of our Lord. Sinful men and women can be changed into new creations, not through their repentance or their belief, but through the wonderful work of God in Christ Jesus which preceded all of our experience (see 2 Corinthians 5:17-19). The unconquerable safety of justification and sanctification is God Himself. We do not have to accomplish these things ourselves— they have been accomplished through the atonement of the Cross of Christ. The supernatural becomes natural to us through the miracle of God, and there is the realization of what Jesus Christ has already done— “It is finished!”

(John 19:30).

How to reconstruct Naga Hoho

F

irstly, the nomenclature of the apex forum of the Nagas.

While brewing the appropriate nomenclature for the forum, I feel a humble terminology should be preferable. The fact is that Nagas have tendencies to prefer superlative degree vocabularies for our conclaves or unions which are more appropriate for international usages.

When such vocabulary is incongruously used, it disgraces the user as it diminishes the elements of realism, credibility and humility whereby its general acceptability of the established body is hampered.

Now, the word Naga is universally inclusive as it covers Nagas everywhere without geographical divides, meaning Naga Diaspora.

The existing nomenclature Naga Hoho, in my understanding, is grammatically correct to denote the forum of the Naga diaspora and is therefore sufficient. In case, Nagas of Arunachal Pradesh have their forum with Hoho nomenclature, it can be Arunachal Pradesh Naga Hoho and in the case of Assam, Assam Naga Hoho.

Whereas, the Pan-Naga Hoho is privately proposed and circulated around. For academic interest, when I sifted the word ‘pan’ from my Dictionary, it has more than three meanings. One is, the pan is the broad shallow metal container for cooking purpose. The second is the Pan (with capital P) is the god of pastures, flocks and shepherds usually represented as having legs, horns and ears of a goat in Greek mythology. The third is the leaf of the climbing pepper used with betel palm nut as a masticator. Here, the pan-, the pan with dash meaning is all, every, the whole, applying to all or involving all. From here we learnt that when pan is to prefix the Naga Hoho, it has to have dash after pan and before Naga as Pan-Naga Hoho is the correct usage. Nevertheless, to me Pan- is considered to be extraneous here.

The Naga Diaspora can have a common forum. The forum, when formed has to have official representatives of Naga tribes from Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur and Nagaland. Though at times functional inconveniences may be there, the forum is appropriate to have representatives of Nagas from Myanmar. The proportionate representation of all tribal repre-

A view on DMC’s initiative to lease out toll tax

I

n the spate of objection raised by various NGOs of Dimapur over the initiative of the Municipal Affairs department to lease out collection of DMC toll tax to private individuals, firms etc. in Dimapur from the month of October 2016, I as a concerned citizen would like to share my views on the issue.

Various NGOs have urged the department to reconsider its decision in the interest and welfare of its members as well as general consumers and public. NGOs have even threatened the department to enforce bandh. However are they (NGOs) aware of how much of the revenue collected by the DMC staff (toll collectors) are being duly submitted to the office. Why do the NGOs not reacting to the unauthorised collection carried out by various unions and associations?

Is it always necessary for the NGOs to raise objection over the decisions made by the government or departments concerned?

Are NGOs more important than the popular government elected by the people?

Are the NGOs parallel to the state government?

Whatever decision taken by the Municipal Affairs department must have been arrived in the interest of the department and the general public at large. Therefore, the department should be given an opportunity to prove itself worthy of its decisions.

sentatives to the executive body is what should be the composition.

This forum should be the platform under which each Naga segment is enrolled as inalienable and equal fraternal brotherhood of Naga community.

The forum has to be the capital of Naga unity and the major source of understanding and mutual respect. The forum cannot be the pillar of disunity. The forum has to have its own framed autonomy.

The forum should have the complete Naga orientation by which every Naga can have the sense of both owning and belonging to it.

The forum must generate an atmosphere under which each Naga bears allegiance to it. Be it a political party, be it any NPG, be it any denominational group or any NGO and yet none should feel secondary to the other under the umbrella of the forum. The forum is to be the industry where truth, probity, equality, justice, neutrality and transparency flourish. The forum has to be indomitable and free from sycophantic tendencies and from all undue encumbrances.

The primary requisites for the formation of the forum are the columns of State-wise public organisations. Except Manipur, the rest of the, particularly, three states of Nagaland, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh do not have such organisations. Therefore, give opportunities to each State to prepare the column without which the Naga forum formation is a misnomer. I do not have much knowledge about Assam, but till 2013, Nagas in Arunachal Pradesh did not have common platform. To have State wise representation in the forum is imperative not necessarily with the intent of disturbing those States with the Naga aspiration for integration. When tribal representation is drawn to the forum, proportionate representation is imperative too for the fact that a Naga tribes having more than 2 lakh population cannot have equal number of representatives in the executive with another tribe having less than 3000 population.

And here comes the contentious issue as to whether the existing Naga Hoho can survive without the presence of 9 indigenous Naga tribes of Nagaland. The lame duck Naga Hoho has been further injured by disassociation of the three ma-

he debate over the state government decision to recognized Rongmei tribe as an indigenous tribe of Nagaland has emerged as a major contentious issue for the state of Nagaland. At the time when Nagas inhabiting different political boundaries are already divided over many issues, this thoughtless act of Nagaland government further sowed the seed of discontent and antagonism among the Naga brethren.

It is so unfortunate that the state policy makers could not foresee the impending division that would bring as a result of their actions. Instead their vision is limited only to a momentary goal of advancing their political ambition through politics of appeasement, use issues that would satisfy some few individual as part of election promises and gain political mileage out of it. They could never comprehend the long term consequence of dividing the Nagas because of the filthy politics they are engage in.

If 1977 state government notification (dated 28th of April, 1977 No. AR-8/876) clearly defined the provision for granting indigenous inhabitant status to any individual or groups other than 16 tribes originally recognized in Nagaland, why state government for the last 35 years denied that right to the Rongmei tribe of Nagaland, and all of a sudden in 2012 came out with the option of granting them tribe recognition which was outside the provision of 1977 notification. The sudden and unexpected decision taken by the government to recognized Rongmei as indigenous tribe in Nagaland can therefore

jor tribes, namely, Ao, Sumi and Lotha from the Hoho. Following which two schools of thought have cropped up. One is that the existing Naga Hoho will be strengthened when these three tribes recall their disassociation and rejoin the Hoho.

Well, even when the 3 tribes return to Hoho, the other 6 tribes under ENPO may not follow suit. If so, the lame duck arrangement continues. Therefore, this school does not consider the ENPO factor to be very essential as though the status quo of Hoho without them can continue.

This school blames the members of CNTC that Hoho’s position is jeopardised by such drastic action of withdrawal with lame excuse.

The elements supporting this school reportedly used two kinds of inducement for wooing sections in order to instil the spirit of dissent among the components. If the Hoho is to be strengthened with such modus operandi, it can never become Naga people’s platform except the segmental facility.

Whereas, the other school of thought including myself believe that the site for construction of the forum should be levelled. The continuation of the lame duck Hoho with 5 tribes from Nagaland and 16 tribes from Manipur alone but without 9 tribes from Nagaland and without active participation of Nagas from Assam and Arunachal Pradesh is considered to be the contours at the proposed site for the establishment of the apex Naga forum. At this rate, the continuation of the lame duck Hoho is the road block to the formation of such a commonly acceptable platform. The other impediment to formation of such a proper forum is the absence of a common platform of the Naga tribes in Nagaland. In other words, the suspicion and thwarting the Nagas of Nagaland to have their own platform is the most major blockade to have a desired platform of the Nagas.

We do not seem to have several options for reconstruction of a common Naga platform. The first and foremost is to bring the 14 Naga tribes in Nagaland under a platform.

What the 3 tribes have opted is the only alternative to pave the way for re-establishing the Naga common platform to the satisfaction of all.

I

t seems to me that when I am fighting a foreign invasion of my country, where the enemy is using its military and economic power to subjugate me, you are suggesting that I should utilize all the economic prospects that the enemy is offering me and even go to war with my own people who are misusing those economic gifts. I for one will not do such a stupid thing. I am therefore saying that I am not interested in my enemy’s gifts of even the whole state with its entire infrastructure which has lulled most Nagas to sleep for over six decades. For me, this state is just a farce and a shadow of the real image of a truly independent country.

Now, why do I call it a farce? As a visitor of the Nagaland state of India, you must have seen the conditions of our roads in Nagaland. If you had come at the beginning of the first month of road repairs, or during the Hornbill Festival, you might be fooled. But if you come at the end of the third month after repair works, you will see the real condition of our roads- which are repaired to last for only three months.

(The corruption on repair works being mostly pocketed by many Nagas contractors, Indian companies and Indian Central leaders- I am told).

Also, don’t be too impressed by the many school buildings and Primary Health Centres – especially in the rural areasbecause any Kungfu Master or Boxer can smash them into smithereens in a few hours.

The root cause of all these mess, they say, is because of the corruption in the state. But to fight this gigantic monster that is tearing Nagas apart would be to waste one’s energy in one’s short lifespan. And even if we succeed to some degree in fighting this corruption, we would still be left to fight with even greater monsters like the Disturbed Area Act 1955, the Armed Forces Special Powers Act 1958 etc which has been our constant companions from 1954 to the present. And do you know the powers of the

Governor of Nagaland who alone can promulgate these heinous acts? Under Article 371 (A) section 1, (b), it is stated thus: “The Governor of Nagaland shall have special responsibility with respect to law and order in the State of Nagaland… Provided that if any question arises whether any matter is or is not a matter as respects which the Governor is under this sub- clause required to act in the exercise of his individual judgment, the decision of the Governor in his discretion shall be final, and the validity of anything done by the Governor shall not be called in question on the ground that he ought or ought not to have acted in the exercise of his individual judgment.”

You will note that, as far as law and order is concerned for Nagaland, The Governor of Nagaland is even higher than the President of India or even the Constitution of India. (For more details. see “The Naga Saga,” p.345-352) Yes, at the surface level, the Indian Government has given us Billions of Rupees for our development which has been greatly misused. But please note that this disease has come through the invasion or our country by India. And if a disease is being caused by some other factors, to fight the disease rather than the factors that are causing the disease- would be wastage of time and energy.

Political suppression with economic gifts by India is what is destroying Nagaland today.

Here, I will fight the political suppression rather than fight to have a lion’s share of the economic gifts. As far as I am concerned, only a totally unpatriotic man with no sense for the dignity for his national and geographical identity would wallow in the enemy’s gifts of seductions to subjugate him.

I will not collaborate with the enemy, when the enemy has nullified my very right to life, freedom and liberty even within the territories of my own country.

The tragic faultline be never be consider as an act of kindness or showing concern to the tribe. Rather they engaged in playing politics out of the sensitive issue which could harm the unity among the Nagas. They had dragged the Rongmei tribe recognition issue, and made it an object of politics through which they will make their political career. Did the Rongmeis of Nagaland also ever demand the status that is entitled to them during the last three decades? If not, it will not be appropriate on their part to dissent when tribal bodies in Nagaland and the people opposed government decision to recognized their tribe. Within the framework of 1977 provision, the Rongmei tribe of Nagaland or for that matter any other tribes or group who fulfilled the criteria, would have been enjoying the status long before and that the question of tribe recognition and the subsequent division over the issue would not arise.

On the other hand, it is irony that the present government and the chief minister refused to take responsibility of committing grave mistake and continue to try to shield themselves under the veil of “Naga unity”, instead of taking a realistic step towards resolving the dispute based on the voice of the people. But the chief minister’s discourse on “Naga unity” which is only an escape route will no longer convinced the wellinformed, empowered and enlightens citizen of Nagaland. Naga public and the common people by now had understood the truth and reality that is hidden beneath political rhetoric and will no longer be sway away by those unrealistic assurance,

promise and propaganda use by our politician to pursuit their selfish interest in the name of serving the Nagas It’s time for the state government to turn back from the politics of denial and pay serious attention to the voice of the people whom they represent.

For the record, tribal bodies in Nagaland including ENPO, CNTC, NTC, CPO, APO and ZPO had already stated their position time and again that they are not adverse to the idea of granting status of indigenous inhabitant to any group who had fulfill the criteria. They are only against the politics of granting tribe recognition to any new tribe/s. What can be more reasonable than this proposal, and what more can the state government and the Nagas in general can expect from the people of Nagaland?

Meantime, the most undesirable phenomenon emerging from this sad contour is the misconceptions develop by Nagas in general regarding the position taken by the Nagas of Nagaland. The consensus position of the tribal bodies of Nagaland is – “pending final settlement, the need of maintaining status quo”.

And I don’t see any reason why this views and the position taken by the Nagas of Nagaland would be misunderstand. This position, which is nothing more than a pursuit for preserving the existing order in Nagaland, should not be misinterpreted as working against the interest of the Nagas. Resorting to cheap political gimmick of “tribe recognition” by Naga politicians taking the name of “Naga unity” and “Naga cause” would risk

reducing the Naga national movement to a small state of Nagaland, making the state a bone of contention for the Nagas as a whole and divert the issue altogether which would only bring confusion and misunderstanding among our Nagas.

Remember Naga national movement is a people based movement for achieving sovereignty for the Nagas and integration of all Naga inhibited area into one political administration, and not “population integration” in a small state of Nagaland.

Simply giving legitimacy to the state government to pick up one group and reward them with tribe recognition is not an answer to the vexed Naga political problem nor will it help

achieved Naga unity. The argument, therefore, that Nagas of Nagaland are not generous, not willing to accommodate and share with the other Naga brethrens is immature and unjust.

If the state government refuses to take heed to the voice of the general public and take back the issue to status quo, they are going against the wish and will of the people who had elected them. And this will hurt the sentiment of the people of Nagaland which could lead to a serious repercussion for which the state government would be held responsible.

Open letter to Secretary NPSC

Sir,

Reference to the Combined Technical Services Examination 2016 dt 19.10.2016, I want to express few personal suggestions for item no 13 District Sports Officer. i) The educational qualification is given as BPE/BPEd with preference to MPE/MPEd. As such the DSO should be well versed in technical as well as in administrative lines. Preference should be given to those having BPE/BPEd with NIS (qualified coach). ii) BPE/BPEd is a degree which can be earned without having much sporting experience. Whereas to be a NIS qualified coach the minimum qualification is BA/ BPE or equivalent with the following requirements :- a) participation in inter- university in a particular discipline 2 times. b) participation in North-East Sports Festival in a particular discipline 3 times. c) participation in Junior Nationals in a particular discipline 2 times.

So the post of DSO should be given preference to those having BPE /BPEd with NIS because to be a sports officer a person must be well versed in theory as well as in practical.

In worldwide trade, the US dollar traded a bit soft against all major emerging market currencies ahead of key macro data outcome alongside the important third-quarter US GDP figures.

The overnight new home sales for September in the US came in at their second highest level since the global financial crisis, raising prospect of imminent Fed rate hike this year.

Mumbai, Oct 28 (PTI): The rupee today staged a recovery after two days of fall and ended 8 paise higher at 66.79 against the US currency on account of heavy dollar unwinding by exporters ahead of an extended weekend.

Besides, a suspected RBI intervention largely supported the local currency, says a forex dealer.

Moreover, speculative traders avoiding taking long positions ahead of the next week’s US Fed meeting too weighed on trade.

At the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex) market, the domestic unit commenced on a bearish note at 66.90 following the month-end demand for the American currency from importers and banks.

However, overcoming the highly volatile momentum, the local currency quickly shrugged off the drifting trend and traded rang-bound before making a

“The minister will meet telecom company Chief Executive Officers on November 1 to take stock of the call drop situation.

It’s a stock-taking meeting and also roadmap for the future,” Telecom Secretary J.S. Deepak told reporters here on Friday on the sidelines of an event. Deepak said the sectoral regulator - Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) - has informed that there has been substantial improvement in call drop situation. “We had a meeting in June, they (telecom service providers) gave us a 100-day plan. There has been, we believe, from TRAI figures lot of improvement in call drops. There were 54 networks which were not performing upto the standard in December 2015, and now it is down to only 19,” Deepak added.

London, O c t 2 8 (PTI): India has ranked very poorly at 133 in a new Global Youth Development Index compiled by the Commonwealth Secretariat on the countries’ prospects for young people in employment, education, health, civic and political spheres.

India ranked 133rd in the index covering 183 nations, below neighbouring countries like Nepal (77), Bhutan (69) and Sri Lanka (31) and trailing behind the South Asian average.

However, the report released last week found that it has registered an 11 per cent improvement in scores over the last five years, highlighting the need for greater investment to reap the so-called demographic dividend. “One in five young people in the world today live in India, which makes it one of the most youthful countries on the planet,” said Abhik Sen, the lead author of the ‘2016 Global Youth Development Index’ report.

India ranks poorly in Commonwealth youth index

Islamabad, Oct 28 (PTI): A leading Pakistani trade body on Friday warned it may suspend trade with India, citing the “current hostile conditions”. The Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) president Abdul Rauf Alam said there was no compulsion to continue trade ties with India, the Dawn reported.

“Pakistan had no compulsions of any sort to continue business and trade relations with India under the current hostile conditions,” the newspaper quoted him as saying.

He further said that the entire Pakistani business community was united to take any decision, and given the tense situation in the region, it was not possible to continue trade relations with India.

He pointed out the role of the SAARC Chamber of Commerce and Industry and said that it left them with no choice but to promote trade relations

This is a conservative estimate, but sales could cross this level, he added.

Property Transactions Act, 1988,” a CBDT statement said.

While the existing law provides for up to three years of imprisonment or fine or both for carrying out benami transactions, the amended legislation would provide for seven years imprisonment and fine.

The Act defines benami transactions, prohibits them and further provides that any violation is punishable with imprisonment and fine. The PBPT Act prohibits recovery of the property held benami from benamidar by the real owner. “Properties held benami are liable for confiscation by the government without payment of compensation,” it said.

An appellate mechanism has been provided under the Act in the form of Adjudicating Authority and Appellate Tribunal.

New Delhi, Oct 28 (PTI): After subdued gold demand in last six months, jewellery and coin sales sparkled on Dhanteras today, with sales seen to grow by up to 25 per cent on higher demand in view of good monsoon and favourable price levels. Dhanteras is considered to be an auspicious day for buying gold, silver and other valuables and is largely celebrated in North and West India.

According to jewellers and MMTC-PAMP India, gold demand has picked up in the wake of good monsoon and favourable price levels. There was positive response and more footfalls. “There was robust demand for gold and silver coins as also bars this time as prices are at favourable levels. People are buying for investment purpose. We expect 15-20 per cent increase in sales from over the last year,” MMTC-PAMP India President (Marketing) Vipin Raina told PTI. But more sales are expected in the later part of the day, with office-goers in big cities coming in for buying late in the evening, he added. Gold prices are ruling at Rs 30,590 per 10 grams in the national capital, about 16.6 per cent higher than Rs 26,230 on Dhanteras day in 2015.

security forces reported further progress Friday in their advance from the south of Mosul. Abdulrahman al Wagga, a member of the Nineveh provincial council, told CNN the security forces had taken the town of al Shura, about 30 kilometers (19 miles) south of Mosul, and had evacuated 5,000 to 6,000 civilians.

The area is being cleared of homemade bombs and booby traps, he said.

Iraqi security forces and federal police have also now “90% surrounded Hammam al-Alil,” the largest town south of Mosul, Wagga said.

BEIRUT, OCT 29 (Reuters): Syrian rebels began a counter-attack in Aleppo on Friday with heavy shelling of government-held areas after a weeks-long Russian-backed offensive against besieged districts held by insurgents, rebels said.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a British-based group that reports on the war, also said that insurgents had set off several suicide car bombs on the western edge of Aleppo. A Syrian military source said an insurgent attack in that area had been thwarted. A state TV station said the army had destroyed four car bombs.

The rebels aim to break a siege that government and allied militias imposed this summer with air support from the Russian air force.

Beijing, Oct 28 (PTI): China today warned India that bilateral ties as well as peace and stability of the border areas would suffer “damage” if it allows Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama to visit Arunachal Pradesh, which Beijing claims is part of southern Tibet.

“We are seriously concerned about the relevant information,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lu Kang told a media briefing here replying to a question about reports that India has granted permission to Dalai Lama to visit Arunachal Pradesh at the invitation of the Chief Minister.

“China’s position on the eastern section of China India border is consistent and clear. The Dalai clique is engaged in anti-China separatist activity and has very disgraceful behaviour on issues relating to ChinaIndia boundary question,” Lu said.

The Indian side is well aware of the severity of the Dalai Lama issue as well as

“Only by doing so can we maintain sound and steady growth of the bilateral relations,” he added.

Asked about assertions

“As I just said, India’s invitation to the Dalai Lama for activity in the disputed area between China and India is like providing a platform for anti-China separatist activities. It does no good to peace and tranquility in the border areas as well as the development of China-India relations,” he said.

Reports indicate that ISIS has abducted at least 5,370 families from around al Shura and 150 more from around Hammam al-Alil, Shamdasani told a briefing in Geneva, Switzerland.

Another 160 families have reportedly been seized from around Qayyara, she said, and 2,210 families from the Nimrud area of Hamdaniya district.

“Forced out by gunpoint, or killed if they resist, these people are reportedly being moved to strategic locations where ISIL fighters are located,” Shamdasani said, using an alternative acronym for ISIS. Information received by the United Nations suggests some 60,000 people are currently living in Hammam al-Alil, an ISIS stronghold with a previous population of 23,000, she said.

The use of human shields is banned under international humanitarian law, and constitutes a violation of the right not to be arbitrarily deprived of life, the UN refugee agency said.

Mosul, Oct 29 (CNN): ISIS has “executed” 232 people near the Iraqi city of Mosul and taken tens of thousands of people to use as human shields against advancing Iraqi forces, the United Nations says.

The terror group carried out the mass killings Wednesday, punishing people who had defied its orders, a spokeswoman for the UN human rights arm told CNN. “ISIS executed 42 civilians in Hammam al-Alil, south of Mosul. Also on Wednesday ISIS executed 190 former Iraqi security forces for refusing to join them, in the Al Ghazlani base near Mosul,” said Ravina Shamdasani of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

Another 24 former Iraqi security forces officers were reportedly killed Tuesday, the office said.

Since October 17, ISIS has taken tens of thousands of men, women and children from the outskirts of Mosul into the city. Shamdasani said the United Nations feared the group intended “to use them as human

n a perfect blend of comedy and lessons for social changes, the unstoppable ‘Dreamz Unlimted’ earned yet another feather on their cap as they took the stage at Aoyimti Children’s Park leaving the crowd laughing but at the same time thinking.

The group of artistes were flawless as they presented their dramas without break even as the multitude of crowd numbering close to a couple of thousands roared in laughter.

Their video clips on various social problems like bad roads, wayward youngsters, IBIs, sanitation and

hygiene etc. which have been going viral in both watsapp and facebook must have surely kept the public wanting to see them in real life as the crowd went big to bigger towards the end of the show.

Young and old, black or white, stayed glued to their chairs with their eyes hardly blinking as they devoured the presentations vociferously.

Although dramas of such kind are rare in the city, with the advent of Dreamz Unlimited, the scenario is likely to change.

People understood their language, noticed

their gestures and responded well to their whims.

Their fan base is growing by the day and their talents in wooing the mass seemed unfazed which were greatly reflected during the Friday’s show.

Their versatility in mimicking different stereotypes and accents were presented in funny yet unmatched levels as they connected with the crowd without much effort.

They presented lessons for social changes in capsules but the effect would no doubt be felt soon.

The hard works and

resources put into their acts seem to have been repaid in leaps and bounds by the overwhelming response from the public because no matter how good an artiste maybe, without an audience their efforts are of very little meaning.

The stage for comedic art has been set with the tireless efforts of Dreamz Unlimited and hopefully people wanting to venture into this field will find it easier now for they have surely planted the seeds of artistry in some young minds who have witnessed their acts tonight.

Speaking to Rolling Stone, frontman M Shadows explained the reasoning behind the surprise release: “Everyone else is dropping the breadcrumbs, having four or five singles before their record comes out. It completely takes away the mystique of the record; by the time it actually comes out, you’ve already done 50 interviews about what the record’s about and is going to sound like. It’s 2016; people’s attention spans

are so short at this point, who has time for three months of lead-up?”

He added: “Vocally and musically, we went ‘out’ a lot on the record – if we came up with something that made us laugh, we put it on the record…

Listen to that new Bowie record – it’s a brilliant record, but it’s so fucking out there, and that’s why it’s art! It’s so exciting to us to put out something like that and be completely, 100 percent satisfied with it.”

He feels that an award that Hollywood gets attracted to, should be instituted in India instead.

The Padma Shri awardee and Dadasaheb Phalke Award winner told IANS: “We should create an award here in our country.

Hollywood actors should crave to get that. Why do we have this fascination about Oscars? We know the manipulation there. If a film is liked in our country, what else do you want?”

Vetrimaaran’s critically acclaimed Tamil drama “Visaranai” has been chosen as India’s official pick for Oscars 2017 in the Foreign Language Film category.

Under-fire Dhoni faces tricky Kiwis in series-decider

Mahendra Singh Dhoni

V i s a k h a pat n a m , Oct 28 (PTI): Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s leadership as well as finishing skills will be put through a stern test when an inconsistent India take on a rejuvenated New Zealand in the series-deciding fifth and final cricket ODI, here tomorrow.

they have a glorious opportunity to taste their maiden success in a bilateral ODI rubber. The only thing that can play spoilsport is the cyclone threat which can lead to complete washout.

While Dhoni’s captaincy may not be under immediate threat but a series loss against New Zealand will certainly raise questions about ‘Captain Cool’s’ ability to marshall his resources after his much publicised

admission of being unable to rotate strike lower down the order.

Under Dhoni, India lost three ODI series -- 1-2 against Bangladesh in Bangladesh, 1-4 against Australia Down Under and 2-3 at home against South Africa.

The only ODI series victory in the last 18 months has been against a lowly Zimbabwe. Away from home for four months spanning two continents, New Zealand’s only success was a 2-0 win against a lowly Zimbabwe, following which they drew South Africa 1-1 before being whitewashed 0-3 by India in the Tests.

Their ODI campaign started off on a sour note in Dharamasala but some strong batting performances by skipper Kane Williamson and Martin Guptill in Delhi and Ranchi respectively have managed to catch India off guard and level the fivematch series 2-2.

will be a big motivation for the Black Caps to buck the trend and return home with an act of redemption.

Weather permitting, a tantalising finish is on the cards as India would be equally hungry for success at the Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, a venue where they boast of a 4-1 record.

Their last win has been against Sri Lanka, a 5-0 whitewash way back in November-2014 and an underfire Dhoni would not want another series loss at the fag end of his career. The world No.4 India have just three more ODIs, against England, ahead of the coveted Champions Trophy in June next year and it would be an opportunity for Dhoni to give them a boost against a team which is ranked a notch higher. The overreliance on Virat Kohli has also been evident during the series as Indian Test captain was the prime performer in both victories during the first four matches so far.

New Delhi, Oct 28 (IANS): The Sports Ministry on Friday granted recognition to the recentlyformed Boxing Federation of India (BFI) as the national federation for the sport. BFI conducted its elections on September 25 and AIBA, the international body for boxing has recognised the newly-elected office bearers of BFI. Uttarakhand’s Ajay Singh, who is also the Chairman and Managing Director of Spicejet Airlines, was elected President of BFI. “Ministry of Sports recognises Boxing Federation of India(BFI) as the National Sports Federation for Boxing,” the Sports Ministry tweeted on its twitter handle.

“Recognition to BFI will give a big boost to preparation of our boxers for the Tokyo Olympics and other major international competitions,” it added.

“There has been no National Sports Federation for Boxing since 2012.

Recognition of BFI by the Sports Ministry fulfils the requirement.”

the second half to level proceedings after Uruguayan Emiliano Alfaro (39) had given the home team a first half lead.

Juan Belecoso (82) prodded home the winner late into the match as ATK head coach Jose Molina -- serving a one-match suspension -- watched from the stands as the inaugural champions logged 12 points

from seven games.

Following the loss, NorthEast remained on 10 points from seven matches to be relegated by a place to third position.

Hosts’ goalkeeper Subrata Paul picked up an injury in the 74th minute and was replaced by Wellington De Lima Gomes.

There were a flurry of chances from the NorthEast after falling behind but the visitors held firm.

Debjit Mazumdar belied his recent form to flounder twice inside the first 10 minutes.

The visitors were lucky to not fall behind as early as in the fifth minute when a horrible mix up between Arnab Mondal and Debjit almost gifted Alfaro his fifth goal of the campaign.

Few minutes later, the Mohun Bagan custodian failed to collect a regulation catch from a corner.

There was no improvement on show in ATK’s play as Doutie on the right was often found out of options ahead of him passing backwards instead. Javi Lara, playing in the hole behind Belencoso, looked ragged too as the hosts used the width of the pitch to good effect.

From one such move down the left flank, Nirmal Chettri played one-two with Yusa Katsumi to deliver a pin-point cross for Alfaro who found space to nod home between centre-backs Arnab Mondal and Sereno.

In between the goal and the slack defending in the initial exchanges, Belencoso’s close-range shot clattered into Gustavo Lazzaretti and at the other end Alfaro was stopped in his tracks by Debjit which the former called for penalty as at halftime, NorthEast led by the solitary goal.

Stung by the goal and the prospect of a second consecutive defeat, Postiga took the field after 45 odd minutes replacing Doutie.

Prabir Das made way for Robert at left-back too.

Moments after coming on, the Portuguese was involved into two moves, first provider then with a chance to score. In the first occasion, Belencoso skewed his header over while hosts’ marquee Didier Zokora denied his counterpart with a swipe at goal. Three minutes into the hour-mark, Postiga got the better of Zokora to head in his first goal of the third edition after Ralte flaoted in a good cross from the left.

North East were dealt a blow in the 74th minute when veteran keeper Pal injured himself while trying to collect a Ralte cross which found Belencoso in an offside position.

ATK reaped dividends of their industry in the 82nd minute when the superb Ralte squared for an unmarked Belencoso who tapped the ball into an empty net, marking the eventual winning strike.

Russian high jumper Chicherova appeals against IOC ruling M o s c ow, O c t 2 8 (IANS): Russian high jumper Anna Chicherova has filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against the International Olympic Committee (IOC) decision to strip her of 2008 Olympics bronze over doping charges, her husband Gennady Chernovol said on Friday.

ing efforts of stepping up the fight against the drugs cheats and furnish measures to protect clean athletes ahead of the Olympics in Rio. As part of its antidoping efforts, IOC ordered reanalysis of doping samples of athletes from 2008 Olympics in Beijing and 2012 Olympics in London.

Singapore, Oct 28 (Agencies): Defending champion Agnieszka Radwanska took the final spot in the semifinals of the WTA Finals, beating Karolina Pliskova 7-5, 6-3 on Friday.

Radwanska, who finished 2-1 in the round robin, will play top-seeded Angelique Kerber in Saturday’s semi-finals. Kerber won the Australian Open and the U.S. Open this season, and reached the Wimbledon final.

“I think I really have nothing to lose at the moment, especially (since) I’m

going to play the best player of the season,” Radwanska said of the top-ranked German. She’s played incredible tennis this year.”

Pliskova offered Radwanska too many free points, making 29 unforced errors to only eight for the Pole.

Radwanska initially trailed 4-2 in the first set, but she soon recovered to 4-4.

In the second set, Radwanska scored the final service break in the eighth game when Pliskova netted two consecutive overheads.

Earlier, French Open champion Garbine Muguruza ended Svetlana Kuznetsova’s winning streak at the WTA Finals on Friday with a consolation 3-6 6-0 6-1 victory.

Kuznetsova finally ran out of steam after having already booked her place in the semi-finals, winning just one of the last 12 games as the Spaniard, who was already eliminated from contention after losing her first two matches, finished the tournament with a morale-boosting victory.

After taking the opening set in style, Kuznetsova

suddenly faded, losing 10 games in a row, including a 13-minute game in the third set that saw seven break points.

Despite playing only for pride, the 23-year-old Muguruza produced her best performance of the tour nament, thumping down three aces and finishing off the contest in one hour and 34 minutes.

“It was very difficult for me this tournament because I started losing two matches but today I wanted really to go for the victory to feel good for myself and, I did it,” a smiling Muguruza said at a courtside interview after the match.

Kuznetsova has battled jetlag and exhaustion since flying straight into Singapore after lifting the Kremlin Cup last weekend to leapfrog Britain’s Johanna Konta for the final spot in the tournament.

With Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova both absent from the prestigious end-of-season championship, Kuznetsova has emerged as the unlikely headline act of the $7 million event, restricted to the world’s top eight players.

Kuznetsova will play Dominika Cibulkova in Saturday’s semis while the defending champion Agnieszka Radwanska.
