I would have quit if forced to PM calls for debate on implement demonetization: PC intra-party democracy RAJKOT, OCT 28 (PTI): Assailing Prime Minister, Narendra Modi over demonetisation, senior Congress leader and former Finance minister, P. Chidambaram on Saturday said he would have quit as finance minister if forced to implement the measure. “If my prime minister had asked me to do demonetisation, I would have advised him ‘please don’t’, and if he had insisted, then I would have resigned,” he told reporters on the sidelines of an event where he delivered a lecture on ‘The state of economy’. Noting that demonetisation and “rushing through with the GST were two major mistakes” of the Modi government, he said, “demonetisation was a bad idea, full stop. GST is a good idea, but it has been hastily implemented. It should have been implemented with due care and attention.” Pitching for a cap on the Goods and Services Tax (GST) at 18%, Chidambaram flayed multiple slabs in the rate structure. Delivering the lecture on the economy organised by
the local trading community, Chidambaram said the PM’s ambitious bullet train project between Ahmedabad and Mumbai should not have been a priority. “Government has borrowed huge amount of money from Japan for this. Instead the government should utilise the money for health and education, which the people want,” he said. He also flayed the Gujarat model of development, saying “Vikas gando thayo che (development has gone crazy)”. The Congress has launched a social media campaign in the poll-bound state by the same name. Chidambaram criticised the Election Commission for not declaring the dates for Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh polls simultaneously. “There was an unusual delay in declaring poll dates for Gujarat. The only conclusion is that the government wanted to prevent announcement of sops by the Congress government there (in Himachal) and wanted to do the same in Gujarat.”
Govt has much explanation to do on HC building project: ACAUT
NEW DELHI, OCT 28 (AGENCIES): Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, on Saturday called for a debate on internal democracy in political parties, asserting that the growth of “true democratic spirit” within them is necessary for the country’s future. PM Modi made these remarks in a brief speech to the media at a ‘Diwali Milan’ event at the BJP headquarters as he pointed out that funding to political parties is often debated but not their values, ideologies, internal democracy and how they give opportunities to the new generation of leaders. The country, he said, is not much aware of the practice of democracy within parties and the media should turn its attention to it, he said. “Whether democratic values are a part of their (parties) core values or not, should be debated widely. I believe that the development of a true democratic spirit within political parties is necessary not only for the country’s future but also for democracy,” he said.
Though the Prime Minister made no reference to any rival party, his comments come against the backdrop of reports that the Congress may elevate its vicepresident Rahul Gandhi as party president in place of his mother Sonia Gandhi. The BJP has often accused the Congress of practising dynasty politics and juxtaposed that with the rise of its party workers to top echelons to project itself as a party with a difference. PM Modi also acknowledged that there are many voices within the BJP as he noted that when it was a small organisation earlier or during the times of Jana Sangh, its forerunner, there used to be “ideological harmony” from its central leadership down to workers in the bottom rung. The party’s expansion may be a reason behind divergent views, he said. He also praised the media for its support to ‘Swachh Bharat’ (Clean India) project, saying it has spoken in one voice over the issue even if it might have been
meant for the construction of the building was misused or not. Lauding the action of five petitioners, ACAUT said that the chief justice of the Gauhati High Court had taken note of the petition and treated the letter as suo motu PIL. ACAUT stated that the petition/PIL should be an eye opener for the government with the court acknowledging the prayer of the petitioners -- Kito Achumi, Odi Jamir, Langwang Konyak, Kevito I Sumi and ST Yapang Jamir. According to the petition, the initial cost of the new high court building and complex at Meriema, Kohima, was Rs. 43.75 crore, with the foundation stone laid in 2007 along with Manipur, Tripura, and Meghalaya states. While those states have completed high court building construction and started working since 2013, the ACAUT said construction cost of the project was revised similar to all Nagaland government projects. ACAUT alleged that project construction cost revision was basically to loot the exchequer. “Thus, by 2017,
the estimated cost of the project had been raised to Rs. 161.10 crore,” it stated. ACAUT expressed shock that the department in its rejoinder to Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) claimed that it has already received Rs. 57.61 crore. However, it said that even after 10 years, only 35% of the project was complete. In addition, ACAUT said an amount of Rs. 22.42 crore had been drawn against construction of Judges’ bungalow. However, according to the petition “there is not even an area earmarked for Judges Bungalow at present”, it stated. Further, ACUAT said that an amount of Rs. 44. 24 lakh was drawn for electrification and water supply works against the non-existent building. Besides, an amount of Rs. 1.30 crore was paid as ‘consultancy fees’ against Judges’ bungalow, it stated. While expressing gratitude to the petitioners for taking up a very relevant issue at a critical time, ACAUT hoped that more such lawyers and conscientious citizens would come forward to fight against corruption.

INDORE, OCT 28 (PTI): The Centre is working on a plan to open AYUSH hospitals in every district of the country in the next 10 years, Union Minister Shripad Naik said today. “We want to expand AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy) health facility in every nook and corner of the country,” he said at the inaugural session of an RSS-linked organisation Arogya Bharti’s two-day meeting graced by Sangh Parivar chief Mohan Bhagwat here. “Under AYUSH Mission, the work of setting up a 50 bedded hospital in each district of the country in next 10 years has begun,” Naik, the Union Minister of State for Ayush, said. He said that his ministry has cleared 66 proposals from different states and sanctioned funds for opening AYUSH hospitals. Besides, the minister said, work of constructing 992 yoga wellness centres has begun. Naik said under AYUSH Mission, Rs 1,117.34 crore has been given to states and union territories.

critical of the government over other matters. The media has joined the scheme in “mission mode”, he said, adding that the country has still a long way to go to achieve international standards of cleanliness but the campaign has built an atmosphere in its favour. On the occasion, the Pime Minister also made some light remarks recalling his initial days as a party office bearer in its headquarters when at times he had to look for journalists and fondly remembered his regular interactions with the media. He said both the ruling party and the media may have expectations as well complaints from each other but they have to get along happily amid these differences. In his remarks, BJP chief Amit Shah noted that Diwali marks the beginning of the new year in Gujarat, a state from where he hails from, and said the country has met various challenges successfully during the last year and moved ahead under the Modi government.

AGARTALA, OCT 28 (IANS): Minister of State for Railways, Rajen Gohain on Saturday gave two versions about the railway’s target for linking the remaining northeastern state capitals by railway network. The Minister while addressing a function to flag off the Agartala-Delhi Rajdhani Express said that all the remaining state capitals of the northeastern states will be connected with railway network by 2019. However, after the event, speaking to reporters on the sidelines, he gave a different date. “All the capitals of the remaining northeastern states will be linked with Broad Gauge railway network by 2019. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given priority for the infrastructure development of the northeastern states,” Gohain said before flagging-off the Rajdhani Express between Agartala and Delhi’s Anand Vihar station. Later, while speaking to the media after the function, he said that after the Assam, Tripura
DIMAPUR, OCT 28 (NPN): A little over ten years after its foundation stone was laid, the High Court building project at Meriema, Kohima is still incomplete with only 35% of works been completed. Aggrieved by the inordinate delay in progress of the works of construction of High Court building, five social activists from Nagaland had submitted a petition to the chief justice of the Gauhati High Court urging to take cognizance of the letter and pursue appropriate course of action. The activists pointed out that construction works had been delayed even after drawing the entire estimated amount and availing loan from HUDCO exceeding the estimated costs of the project. It may be mentioned that the foundation stone was laid on May 21, 2007 by the then Chief Justice of India, KG Balakrishnan. Expressing concern over the delay, ACAUT through its media cell Saturday asserted that the state government had much explaining to do before the high court as to whether crores of rupees
and Arunachal Pradesh capital cities, Manipur capital Imphal would be connected by railway network by 2022. “Due to land related problems, the expansion of railway network in Sikkim and Meghalaya has turned into a nonstarter. Work is on to increase the railway network in Mizoram and Nagaland,” he said, without providing any target to link the state capitals of the two states. Earlier, the railway authorities and ministers had announced on a number of occasions that all state capitals of northeast India would be linked with broad gauge railway track by 2020. With the extension of the metre gauge track up to Agartala through southern Assam, Tripura became the first state capital in the northeast in October 2008 to be brought on India’s rail map after independence. Subsequently, the metre gauge line was converted into broad gauge. Arunachal Pradesh’s Itanagar was put on the railway map of India in April 2014.
“For expansion of railway networks in the northeastern states, there is no dearth of funds. The present NDA government has asked the Northeast Frontier Railways (NFR) to speedup the works of the ongoing railway projects in the northeast,” the Minister added. Tripura Governor Tathagata Roy along with PWD and Revenue Minister Badal Choudhury, Transport Minister Manik Dey, two CPI-M MPs Jitendra Choudhury and Sankar Prasad Datta, Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Dilip Sarkar and NFR General Manager Chahatey Ram spoke at the event. Tripura ministers and MPs have demanded a railway division and a railway recruitment board in Tripura and to shift the Rajdhani Express’ destination to New Delhi Railway Station instead of Anand Vihar. “The size and railway network in Tripura does not permit setting up a separate railway division in the state,” Rajen Gohaintold reporters.

DDLSA opens LAC; organises essay competition on ‘child rights’ SAMETI holds training on agri marketing and micro finance
(L-R): Dimapur District Legal Services Authority members, others at Aoyimkum Village. DDLSA and students after the essay competition. DIMAPUR: Dimapur District Legal Services Authority (DDLSA) on Saturday opened a Legal Aid Clinic (LAC) at Aoyimkum village community hall Dimapur and also organised an essay competition on “child rights” on October 25 at Herbert Spencer High School Dimapur. According to a release by DDLSA, inaugurating legal aid clinic, chief judicial magistrate and secretary DDLSA, Ajongba Imchen, spoke on Article 371 (A) vis-à-vis Village Council Act. He said the article must constitutionally not be understood in isolation but as part of the constitution of India since Indian constitution was a living document. He said Article 371 not only included the written words but also in spirit. Imchen said the article must be safeguarded on one hand and the essence of the constitution must K Y M C
be preserved on the other, therefore its interpretation must be in tune with inherent changing nations of time and not as a set of words set in stone. While pointing out the Article stats about “religious or social practices of the Nagas” and “Naga customary law and procedure”, Imchen said that the “special provision” enjoyed under the Article by the people of Nagaland was subject to a wide scope and varying interpretation. Therefore, he said that the question arises as to what makes for the religious or social practices or customary law and procedure of the Nagas. Imchen stated that these had evolved over a period of time closely intertwined with Nagas tradition and culture and added that religion wise, Nagas had evolved from animists to predominantly Christians. With the change in reli-
gion, he said came changes in social practices to some degree where customary law and procedures had largely remained the same even though it had undergone much change over the years, pertaining to problem of non-codification of many Naga customary laws and practices. He also said that this was why there had been a subject to much personal or group interpretation at the village level at various times thereby creating a situation of uncertainly in law. Over the years, Imchen said Naga society had evolved into a blend of tradition and modernity and with it a set of practices which was a mix of ancestral and Christian values found way into Nagas laws and procedures. He said that thus, Nagas were governed by the multiple aspects of religions, social, customary and legal notion.
On ownership and transfer of land and its resources, he said that by virtue of the Article, Nagas had the privilege over land and resources, however with regard to forests and wildlife there was a need for greater degree of uniformity in conservation and management as animals know no safe or unsafe zone. He lamented that the lack of uniformity was a threat not only to the environment but also to the Article. Imchen therefore said that Nagas needed a pragmatic approach towards Article 371 A where interpretation of the Article should be done in the light of present generation while preserving indigenous identity at the same time. He said that in a state like Nagaland where at times things are taken for a ride, Article 371 A was no exception and that people should make sure that the
essence of this Article as enshrined in the constitution of India was not eroded or diluted by their pursuit to bring development at any point of time. Panel lawyer DDLSA, Sentimenla, spoke on legal aid clinic, Zuchempeni Ngully spoke on domestic violence, Moachila spoke on NALSA schemes 2015 and 2016 and invocation was delivered by Pastor Aoyimkum village. Around 160 members of village council, church, women organisation, youth organisation and villagers attended the programme. HSHS Dimapur: Dimapur District Legal Services Authority as part of the common action plan and as per directives from Nagaland State Legal Services Authority (NSLSA) organised essay competition on “child rights”. In his keynote address, chief judicial magistrate Dimapur and DDLSA sec-
retary, Ajongba Imchen, spoke on the importance of child rights and how free legal aid has been provided to the weaker sections of the society by not denying justice to any citizen. He further spoke on persons eligible to receive free legal services like members of ST/SC, victims of trafficking, women and child, and persons having annual income of one lakh per annum and senior citizens whose income is below two lakhs would be able to avail these services. The programme was chaired by panel Lawyer DDLSA, Zuchumbeni and welcome address was delivered by HSHS Dimapur headmaster, Robinson Singh. Altogether 34 students participated in the competition.

The government can serve society, but it cannot bring changes in society. When society brings changes in itself, this change reflects in the government and the system,” he observed.

Estate managers have also been directed to take necessary steps to get the quarter vacated on the expiry date of retention period in all such cases. “It has been noticed
that estate managers, principals of ITIs and polytechnics, heads of offices and branch incharges are forwarding the requests of allottes/legal heirs of deceased allottees, for further retention of government accommodation occupied by them, beyond the maximum retention period already allowed to them,” the memorandum stated. It stated that allotment branch of the department has to decline these requests as the provisions of the ‘Allotment of government residences rules’ do not allow further retention beyond the maximum retention period already allowed to them.
Startup India will encourage youths to be ‘job givers’ not ‘job seekers’ Jammu, Oct 28 (PTI): The central government’s ‘Startup India’ scheme will give a new dimension to entrepreneurship in the country wherein youngsters will be encouraged to become ‘job givers’ rather than ‘job seekers’, Jammu and Kashmir minister Priya Sethi has said. Speaking at the Central University of Jammu on ‘Jammu Kashmir Future Talks’ yesterday, the state education and tourism minister said the initiative was a result of the Modi government’s commitment to make India a developed country by 2022. “We need to give a right direction to our students and make them realise their dreams. Jammu and Kashmir is a vibrant state with multi-regional geographical and economic features, which itself is a boon and can be best utilised for giving young entrepreneurs opportunities to make their mark,” she said.

TN CM urges PM to get fishermen released from SL C h e nna i , O c t 2 8 (PTI): Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K Palaniswami today urged the Centre to take steps without any delay to secure the release of 54 Indian fishermen and 140 boats from Sri Lanka. “I strongly urge you to ... take up the alarming and frequent abduction of our fishermen in their traditional waters with the highest authorities in the Sri Lankan government,” he said in a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He appealed to Modi to ensure the safety and security of Indian fishermen in the Palk Bay. Palaniswami said recently 46 fishermen and their nine mechanised fishing boats were apprehended in separate incidents. The fishermen had set sail from Ramanathapuram and Pudukottai districts of Tamil Nadu. They were apprehended by the Sri Lankan Navy between September 11 and

October 26, he said in the letter. “So far, in 2017, 317 Tamil Nadu fishermen and 62 fishing boats have been apprehended in 59 incidents and 263 of these fishermen have been re-
leased after considerable persuasion by the governments of India and Tamil Nadu.” Sri Lanka released only 36 fishing boats out of 61 fishing boats seized in 2015, he said.
Presently, there are 140 fishing boats, including the nine fishing boats seized in recent incidents, in Sri Lanka’s custody, he said, adding this is fuelling unrest among the fisher folk.
Legislature party will decide Jolt for TDP in T’gana on CM says KTK PCC chief as Revanth Reddy quits Bengaluru, Oct 28 (PTI): Ruling out any differences about leadership within the party ahead of the 2018 Assembly polls, Karnataka PCC President G Parameshwara on Saturday said the legislature party will decide on the Chief Minister, post the election results. “Our first goal whether it is chief minister or me is to cross 113 (assembly seats) mark. After that there is always a convention in the Congress party that legislature party selects its leader- who will contest, who will get selected (as leader) no one knows as of now....” Parameshwara said in response to a question about the chief ministerial candidate. Speaking to reporters on completing seven years in office as the Pradesh Congress Committee chief, he said “There is no other short cut method for it...” Parameshwara, however, declined to comment on Siddaramaiahs repeated
claims that he will be the next chief minister. Aiming to retain power in Karnataka, one among Congress partys last surviving bastions in the country, the party leadership has announced that Siddaramaiah will lead the party during the elections. Noting that the Congress leadership has “already announced” that Siddaramaiah will lead the party during the elections, Parameshwara said, “we have all agreed to their decision and are working together towards retaining the power once again.” Rejecting any differences within the party about going to elections under Siddaramaiahs leadership, he said, “our confidence of regaining power comes from the programmes that we have given to the people of the state.” Asked about Congress partys target for the upcoming elections, he said, “when we say we will form the government on our own, we will obviously have
to cross 113 seats mark (out of 224).” He also ruled out the possibility of a coalition government. Congress is conducting surveys to collect data to help it select candidates and decide strategy for the 2018 assembly polls. “We have not started the process of selection of candidates yet, but we are now looking at individual constituencies where we can win or loose. We are analyzing each of the 224 constituencies,” he said. Strongly backing minister K J George who has been booked by CBI over the mysterious death of a police official, Parameshwara said there is no reason for him to resign. “Let CBI investigate, we dont have any problem... let them investigate on the basis of the merit and let the truth come out. There is no reason for George to resign, this is our partys decision and also the decision of the government,” he said.
Amaravati, Oct 28 (PTI): The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) suffered a setback in Telangana today as the state working president and MLA, A Revanth Reddy, quit the party saying the recent happenings in the state unit pained him. Revanth, who flew down to Vijayawada for a meeting with TDP supremo and Andhra Padesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, is understood to have handed over his resignation letter to Naidu’s private secretary and immediately left for Hyderabad. When asked about it, Chandrababu Naidu told reporters that he has not received Revanth’s resignation letter. “Resignations are not new in TDP. Some people take decisions in their own interests,” he remarked. Revanth was arrested in the “cash-for-vote” case after he was caught on camera allegedly offering money to a nominated MLA for his vote in the MLC election in 2015.
For the past few days, there has been a turmoil in Telangana TDP with reports claiming that Revanth, who is an MLA from Kodangal in Mahbubnagar district, met Rahul Gandhi and was about to join the Congress. Revanth also caused a stir by accusing some leaders of Andhra Pradesh TDP, including two ministers, of securing huge financial contracts from the TRS government in Telangana. He, however, maintained a stoic silence over his future plans and had been saying that he would speak directly with Chandrababu Naidu upon the CM’s return from abroad. He met Chandrababu Naidu in Hyderabad yesterday, but the TDP chief summoned Revanth and other party leaders from Telangana for a detailed meeting in Vijayawada today. Revanth flew down to Vijayawada, visited the Kanaka Durga temple and came to the CM’s camp office for the meeting.

Solution in dispute
n a bid to solve Ayodhya issue, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar of the Art of Living had met representatives of the Hindu body, Nirmohi Akhara and Muslim law board members held in Bengaluru during the first part of October this year. The Art of Living founder Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is understood to have met representatives of two groups in the Ayodhya dispute in a fresh attempt to find an out-of-court settlement to the legal case over the Babri Masjid-Ram Temple issue. The Art of Living Foundation, in a statement had pointed out that the prevailing mood on the Ram Mandir issue provides people from both the communities with an opportunity to “come together, show their magnanimity” and settle the dispute out of court. Though Nimrohi Akhada mahant Ram Das admitted that Nagpur wing sarpanch Raja Ramchandracharya met Ravishankar to find an amicable solution to the dispute, he refused to elaborate on the outcome. Although the AIMPLB is not a party in the case, being the apex Islamic body on religious and personal matters helps it wield considerable influence over the community. There are about a dozen contestants in the court case, with six each from both the communities. The title suit, however, is being fought between the Nirmohi Akhara and the Uttar Pradesh Sunni Central Waqf Board. The dispute over the Babri masjid began in 1885, when a religious body called the Nirmohai Akhara filed a petition in a court in Faizabad asking for permission to construct a Ram mandir in the courtyard of the Babri Masjid. They claimed that the mosque had been built on the very site on which the god Ram had been born. In 1949, the Babri Masjid was forcefully taken over and an idol of the infant Lord Ram installed inside. India’s first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru ordered the idols placed inside the masjid to be removed but the local official K.K.K.Nair, known for his links with extreme Hindu groups, refused to carry out the order claiming that it would lead to communal riots. The dispute took a turn for the worse after Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and his lieutenant Arun Nehru (who later joined BJP) persuaded UP chief minister Bir Bahadur Singh to open the lock in 1986 and allowed hindu rites to take place inside the disputed structure. On this, former President Pranab Mukherjee in his book The Turbulent Years: 1980-96, the second volume of his memoir, wrote that the opening of the Ram Janmabhoomi temple in Ayodhya was an “error of judgment” by Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. Mukherjee has also termed the act as one of “absolute perfidy”. The 16th century mosque was torn down altogether in December 1992 by Hindu kar sevaks and bajrang dals led by some BJP leaders after which communal riots broke out leaving thousands dead. The Allahabad High Court played its own role, when in 2010, it all but justified the demolition by awarding only a third of the original plot for the purposes of a mosque by basing its judgment on faith not law, assuming that religious sentiment automatically means the area under the dome of the Babri Masjid was the exact birthplace of Lord Ram. What is important is about ensuring that politics does not continue to hold the dispute to ransom. If the Art of Living can spur both communities to arrive at a peaceful solution, then it should be welcomed.
Post-mortem
Development saga in Nagaland
P
olicy paralysis and clandestinely plotting to dethrone crowned colleagues have become the foolhardy political activism of current political class in Nagaland. The mandate to govern and develop the State is in cold storage. Present ruling Government which is an amalgamation of all elected representatives from different parties practically has perfect political metabolism to boost all round development without any obstructions. But the unfortunate truth is the existence of nemesis within this unholy alliance of oppositionless motley crew. The only development agenda at the moment is squabbling for Party Symbol, a disgraceful display of betrayal to the electoral class by the honorable Netas, who have taken voters of their constituencies for a ride. Right now, the resounding word in the country is ‘Vikaas’ or ‘Development’ and both Central and State Governments except Nagaland are working 24x7 to give citizens the best of facilities in all fronts. Nevertheless, “Development” seems to be a hitherto unknown word for the Government of Nagaland that needs symposium from Shri. Nitish Kumar, CM of Bihar Shri. Pawan Kumar Chamling, CM of Sikkim and Shri. Manik Sarkar, CM of Tripura who have understood well what development means and are competing with bigger and more developed states. Nagaland a state enriched with bountiful flora and fauna by Nature and good amount of minerals in certain parts is still a begging State in 21st century because we have no political will to begin, “Manufactured in Nagaland.” The Government eloquently cites unsettled Indo-Naga protracted issue as a hindrance to all developmental activities. But this is no justification, the reason is simple, development is not subservient to sovereignty. A clarification on this statement will set the record straight. Sovereignty is a state of being independent, managing and controlling sovereign nation but development is an inter-dependent economic global phenomenon. Development takes place in all stages of nation building, sovereign or occupied colonies. So not having Sovereignty does not mean we have no right to begin development. As we pursue self-determination for our better tomorrow, we can simultaneously tap the poten-
tialities of our rivers, put bricks to cement, fix nuts to bolts allowing our glorious hills to glitter at night and hear the rumbles of machinery by day. However, this ideal imagination remains a distant dream because we Nagas of Nagaland are living in a strange political environment, where we elect 60 MLAs every Assembly Election and who after getting elected publicly preach to us that they are waiting for the Government of India to resolve all outstanding Naga issues to begin development in our land; a laughable political statement which merits no credibility. So then, is there a need to elect our representatives just to let them have recreation in Kohima? It would be beneficial if we let Government of India ensconce the office of Viceroy, who would govern Nagaland on behalf of the President of India. The purpose of the present political arrangement for the State with 60 Constituencies is to allow 60 elected representatives to look into the common good and well being of the population falling under these democratically demarcated jurisdictions. They are empowered to build bridges, construct pliable roads, efficiently run health centers and provide quality education etc. etc. but where are these basic infrastructures? Where are funds siphoned? These gangs involved in looting and depriving Nagas of their due rights are antiNagas, it includes individuals from all walks of life, politics, NPGs, Church, bureaucracy, all corrupt persons and organizations. They are the biggest enemies Nagas have today. These degenerated groups have mastered the art of manipulation knowing well that majority of Nagas are already drugged to accept these unchristian diabolical practices. Thanks to ACAUT, the civil organization for crusading the cause of general public by not willing to be anesthetized by anti-Nagas who have plundered and ravaged Nagaland economically, politically, socially and made it the most primitive state in 21st century. While talking about development since 3rd December, 1963 what we have witnessed is commendable: mass exodus of students to other states for technical and skill education after Class X. Medical treatment to Vellore, Shillong and Guwahati. Educational exposure to other states, I wish my beautiful state too
DailyDevotion Gross domestic product Justification by Faith growth: no guarantee of food 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).

he country’s serious hunger level is driven by high child malnutrition and underlines need for stronger commitment to the social sector. As per the report, India ranks below many of its neighbouring countries such as China (29th rank), Nepal (72), Myanmar (77), Sri Lank (84) and Bangladesh (88). It is ahead of Pakistan (106) and Afghanistan (107). India is last among the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) group of emerging nations. India’s overall GHI score has improved from 38.2 in 2000 to 31.4 in 2017, but it is among the worst performers in South Asia. At 31.4, India’s 2017 GHI score is at the high end of the serious category. With a GHI score that is near the high end of the serious category, it is obvious that a high GDP growth rate alone is no guarantee of food and nutrition security for India’s vast majority. On India, the report said that the country’s top 1% own more than 50% of its wealth, India is the world’s second largest food producer, yet it is also home to the second highest population of undernourished in the world. “Even with the massive scale up of national nutrition-focused programs in India, drought and structural deficiencies have left a large number of poor in India at risk of malnourishment in 2017. India has reported an improvement, especially on child stunting. The report notes that
the child stunting rate, while relatively high at 38.4%, has gone down over the year, from 61.9% in 1992. The rate of wasting in the country has increased—up from 20 per cent in 2005-2006 to 21 per cent in 2015-16. Only three other countries in the list (Djibouti, Sri Lanka, and South Sudan) have wasting above 20 per cent. The rate in India has not shown any substantial improvement over the past 25 years. While the rate of child stunting has reduced by 29 per cent since 2000, the figure remains high, at 38.4 per cent in 2015-16. GHI report says that 1 in 5 Indian children have low weight-for-height ratio. India has developed and launched an action plan on ‘undernourishment free India’ by 2022. The plan shows stronger commitment and greater investments in tackling malnutrition in the coming years. Inequality in all its forms must be addressed now if we are to meet Sustainable Development Goal 2 of Zero Hunger for everyone by 2030. What is important is to see what is being done to improve the dismal ranking and score. With various economic indicators having taken a beating in the past year, will India be able to improve upon its Global Hunger Index ran The on-going efforts are expected to make significant changes in improving the existing situation in 2018?

find its place in students tour catalogue. Means of public transportation which breaks down any time, facilitated by non-existent roads. Electricity known for its frequent power cut with precariously rusted poles. And yes the biggest development we Nagas have witnessed is perhaps production of petrol and diesel in Dimapur with the patent “Adulteration Cooperative Company) with some privilege stakeholders. What a scientific progress. Besides these, we also have a big story to hand down to younger generation of Mr. Pillai from rugs to riches. Indeed incredible Nagaland the land of all possibilities. These achievements are outstanding records of 54 years of being a state. The next development agenda for our representatives is to build hotels and mansions (which is their pet project) in other planets of the Solar System and transport their SUV, while we common citizens remain in this part of the world waiting in queue to get NST bus ticket to head towards Dimapur to fetch essential commodities. Is it fascinating? Aren’t we so honoured to be part of this progressive state? Ah!! Before, I forget let me inform the public about the latest General Knowledge of our state. We have Judicial capital in Guwahati (Reference to High Court), Bureaucratic capital in Dimapur (posted elsewhere but likes to be in Dimapur) Political capital in Kaziranga Resort (favourite rendezvous where bright future of Nagas are discussed) and people’s capital in Kohima where hundreds throng daily to fight for the crumbs. Indeed, it’s a sign of progress, after all development in Nagaland has not come to screeching standstill. Oh rhetoric aside, let me come to the crux of the issue, it’s time we have patriots as our leaders who feel the pulse of suffering Nagas. It’s time we promote individuals with astute political acumen and renown statesmen. It’s time to show the exit door to all who have recreated in state Capital for too long. It’s time to open the doors and windows of Nagaland politics to let fresh air come in, let’s do it democratically. We are vested with great responsibility to choose our future by exercising our precious votes. Time is ripe, let the leaders who deserve our votes have them. Fr. Vinoto Justin, Lazami

When will we learn?
n an earlier letter, I had compared Nagas to Donkeys because we keep electing Jackasses to our State Legislature; now I’m constrained to compare us to Ostriches when it comes to the magical “Solution” to our struggle for independence from India and Myanmar. We refuse to face reality and choose to bury our head in the sand, just as ostriches do when faced with danger. Do you remember the time when all Nagaland was gung-ho about the “Framework Agreement” and the secret deal between the N.S.C.N. (I-M) and the Government of India? Everybody and his dog was praying for it to come into effect. We never paused to think what it contained and what it could imply for us. But then reality set in, and we realised that we had not thought things through. Now we’re making the same mistake with the 6 N.N.P.G. s being invited for talks with the GOI’s Interlocuter R. N. Ravi. The Government of India, unlike the Government of Nagaland, is not comprised of asses; they have sensed that the mood of the People of Nagaland is against the unknown “Framework Agreement” and in favour of inclusion of all the Political Groups/Factions in any settlement, and they have responded by inviting them all, apart from the N.S.C.N. (K), for talks. They have just begun discussions and here we idiots are acting as if the solution to all our problems is at hand. There cannot be multiple solutions to the same problem, so I want all of Nagaland to think about these points that spring to my mind: 1. Are the N.N.P.G. s being invited so that they may give their opinions on the “Framework Agreement” of the N.S.C.N. (I-M) with a view to getting them to endorse the FA, with whatever few corrections or modifications they may desire? If this is the case, we will have jumped from the frying pan into the fire. 2. Are the N.N.P.G. s being invited to give their separate answer to the Naga Issue? In which case, the question arises, “Do the 6 Factions have any Common Solution to offer the GOI in place of the I-M’s Framework Agreement?” In order to reach common ground, the 6 groups will have to have intensive and exhaustive talks on a broad range of issues. 3. The discussions and debates between the 6 groups may remain a secret, but the broad outlines of the issues must be laid out in the Public Domain, so that any or all inputs, doubts and objections may be voiced out by all Nagas and our neighbours, during the formulation of the solution; in order to modify terms or allay fears, which will surely spring up. Or else the same objections to the Framework Agreement of the I-M will be faced; for India is not a dictatorship where a fait accompli can be rammed down the throats of the people. 4. The issues have to be such that
the Nagas of Myanmar feel they have something to benefit from any solution that the Nagas of India make with the Indian Government. Only then will the N.S.C.N. (K) feel the need to participate in any discussions; and only then will a truly amicable and durable answer be found to the Naga Issue. For all those who ignore the N.S.C.N. (K) are simply ignoring the elephant in the room and are no better than ostriches with their heads buried in the sand. I bring up these points because there has been an alarming trend on the part of some of our politicians, notably, Mr. Rio, Mr. T.R.Zeliang and Mr. Imkong Imchen that “Solution, not election, is the answer”. Now the Sumi Hoho seems to have joined their bandwagon by stating that elections should be deferred in order to facilitate a solution. I would like to remind the Sumi Hoho that, these same politicians were the ones who came to power promising a,” Solution within 3 months” way back in 2003. Everybody in Nagaland should keep in mind that elections are the only way that the people of any nation or state can express their voices and make their feelings known. Apart from the first timers in our State Legislature, the people of Nagaland are fed up with the hoary and stale old-timers and are just waiting for the opportunity to relegate them to the dustbins of history. They may buy their way back into power, in which case some Nagas may get back a bit of the money looted from us over the course of the years; but either way, they have to pay in some measure for all the misery that Nagaland faces. They cannot walk away free after all these years of rapine and plunder, enjoying the fruits of their ill-gotten wealth, while waiting for an indeterminate period of time for the “Solution”. If and when a truly acceptable and durable solution to the Naga Issue is found, I can guarantee that the People of Nagaland will have elected to office Legislators who recognise the Common Good and who will facilitate its implementation, even to the extent of giving up power by surrendering their Ministerial Berths and vacating their Legislative seats; unlike the present lot of Jackasses who are hell bent on grabbing power by hook or by crook, and hanging on to power by tooth and nail. So, remember, holding elections has nothing to do with finding the solution to The Naga Issue. Elections and our Solution run in different spheres. The slogan’ “Solution, not Election” is just a dirty, cunning phrase coined by some of our present Legislators to avoid facing the electorate and to save their ill-gotten wealth. The Democratic process of Elections is the Voice of the People; and the Voices of The People of Nagaland must not be stifled. God save Our Nagaland Kahuto Chishi Sumi, (Kahuto107@gmail.com)
Dupming of garbages in Wokha town
ello, Denizens of Wokha Town, are we proud of beautifying the Approach Road leading to the Residence of the Deputy Commissioner of Wokha District, who is the Captain of the District Administration by dumping garbages at ‘Y’ junction (Wokha Town), which is only 100 to 150 meters from the Official Residence of the Deputy Commissioner, Wokha and located at about 50 feets away from the main Police Traffic Island of the National Highway No.2? Are we extending a warm welcome to our fellow friends from Mokokchung, Tuensang, Zunheboto Districts and other Visitors of Wokha Town, who passes through this beauty spot everyday with the aroma of strange stench smell emitting from the dumped garbages? Shame on Denizens of Wokha Town. We, Wokha Town dwellers are so insensitive of keeping our Town neat and clean. We are still with our old mindset that everything will do for us by the Government, including keeping our locality and surroundings clean. Shopkeepers and Owners of other Business Establishments of Wokha Town should also be made responsible for keeping their respective Premises neat and clean and necessary directives may be issued by the District Administration to all Business Establishments not to throw waste materials to the nullah so as to keep the nullah free. Maintance of Cleanliness and Sanitation in Wokha Town appears to be in the lowest ebb and in pitiable condition. Sometimes, I wonder how the District Administrative Officers from the Deputy Commissioner down to Extra Assistant Commissioner and the Councillors of Wokha Town Council react when passing through the garbage dumping site at ‘Y’ junction (Wokha Town). Maintenance of Cleanliness has been the talk of Wokha Town these days. “SWACHHTA HI SEVA” (Cleanliness is Service) should not be made mere rhetoric but should be put
in to service. In order to contribute our mite towards keeping Wokha Town clean, every Citizens of Wokha Town should maintain a reasonable degree of civic sense in our daily life, which does not cost us anything. I, would therefore, suggest to the Deputy Commissioner, Wokha and the Councillors of Wokha Town Council to address the issue and take action to find out alternative garbage dumping site and shift the present garbage dumping place which is located in the hearts of Wokha Town for the sake of one and all and to avoid Health Hazards and to maintain cleanliness as well. Secondly, I appreciate the yeoman services rendered by the different Hohos, Student Bodies and other Non Governmental Organisations of Wokha District on various issues of Public importance at State Level and other forums. However, I would like to impress upon the different Non Governmental Organisations of Wokha District that, sometimes, it would be more beneficial to the common people, if local issues such as maintenance of different PWD Approach Roads in and around Wokha Town by the Concerned Department, Regular and Un-interrupted Power Supply, better Health Care facilities, proper Water Supply to all the Wokha Town
Dwellers, keeping our Town clean etc, the issues which are appears to be insignificant, yet these are daily necessities for all of us. For example, the deplorable and pathetic road condition to District Civil Hospital Wokha need regular maintenance for the sake of serious Patients and others. Yet another example is poor quality Workmanship in maintenance and blacktopping of about 1 Km. of NH No. 2 within Wokha Town by a Contractor this year, should have been raised by the Non Governmental Organisations. But, so far no Non Governmental Organisation of Wokha District has done it. If need arise, any matter involving genuine interest of common people of the District should be brought to the Public Domain for wider debate and even to give Constructive Criticism openly, if lapses are found on the part of the Departments and Agencies, which will help creating awareness among the general Publics about their rights and responsibilities. All sensible individuals, groups of individuals and Non Governmental Organisations are well aware that “Better Road Connectivity is the essence of all round Development in our Present day World”. Ayamo Jami, IAS (Rtd), Blue Hill Colony, Wokha Town

Sir,
Scholarship on installment
It has come with a shock and shame that my present state government has made another historical landmark - “students’ scholarship on packages”. It simply means to say that students will receive their scholarship on instalment basis which is humiliating and unethical. The government of the day which is suppose to look after the welfare of the students community is not in a position to pay scholarship which is due to the students. It is such a shameful state of affair. Vikavi K Assumi, IIT Guwahati, (assumivikavi@gmail.com)

RJD leader attacks Nitish Kumar over hooch tragedy
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav
prohibition only because of the “prime ministerial ambitions that he nursed at that time”. “He needed an issue on the basis of which he could market himself outside Bihar.” “Kumar used to hold meetings in states like Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh to press the demand for complete prohibition across the country. Now as an ally of the BJP, which is in power in all these states, can he hold similar public gatherings in these states?” Yadav asked. Training his guns at BJP, Yadav said “Kumar’s current allies used to call the prohibition law in Bihar draconian. Now they are in power in the state. How will the ruling dispensation now muster the moral strength required to strictly enforce the ban on sale and consumption of liquor?” He said the suspension of police officials after the death of four persons in the liquor tragedy is “an eye-wash”. “The people of the state will give a befitting lesson to this corrupt and inefficient government at an appropriate time,” Yadav added.
Rohtas (Bihar), Oct 28 (PTI): Four persons died in a suspected case of spurious liquor consumption in Rohtas district of Bihar, where the sale and consumption of alcohol had been banned more than a year ago. The deaths were reported from Danwar village under Kachhwa police station late last night. Six others, who fell sick, are undergoing treatment at various private hospitals, Superintendent of Police, Rohtas, Manavjit Singh Dhillon said. He said angry villagers were staging a demonstration at Danwar and demanding action against those responsible for facilitating hooch trade in the area. “The matter is being investigated. Only after the post-mortem reports
are out, can we say with certainty that the deaths have been caused by consumption of illicit liquor,” he added. RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav attacked the Nitish Kumar government over the tragedy. Speaking to reporters, Yadav, who is also the Leader of Opposition in Bihar assembly said, “What has happened in Rohtas is not the first incident of its kind since the complete prohibition was announced in Bihar. We (RJD) were then a coalition partner in the government and had supported Nitish Kumar’s move. But as things have turned out, prohibition seems to have been implemented only on paper”, Yadav told reporters. He said it appears that Kumar had announced
Man held for smuggling cough syrup at airport
J-K: Security agencies call for complete synergy to achieve
New Delhi, Oct 28 (PTI): A man has been arrested by the customs for allegedly trying to smuggle out of the country codeinebased cough syrup, officials said today. The accused, a native of Deoband in Uttar Pradesh, was intercepted by the customs officials yesterday when he was to board to a flight to Riyadh, they said. He was carrying 120 bottles of Phensedyl cough syrup concealed inside a carton, the officials said. The cough syrup contained codeine, a narcotic substance banned under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, they said. Codeine is also an opiate and used in reducing pain, the officials said. The medicine containing it can be bought against a prescription. The passenger has been arrested and a case under the NDPS Act has been registered, the officials said. He was produced before a court here which has sent him to jail, they said.
Jammu, Oct 28 (PTI): A Military Liaison Conference attended by Army officials, security agencies and civil administration officers called for complete synergy to achieve peace, harmony and development of Doda, Kishtwar and Ramban districts of Jammu and Kashmir. The conference, chaired by the General Officer Commanding, Delta Force, was held at Dharmund Army Garrison yesterday, a defence spokesperson said. “The aim of organising the conference was to increase synergy, interaction and coordination between the military and other agencies,” he said.
The spokesperson said, “Such interactions provide opportunities for deliberation on important issues of mutual interest impacting security and development of the region.” All officials reviewed the security situation and stressed on the need for harmonious functioning of the various agencies, he said. “In view of the prevailing internal security situation, an overview of security and upcoming activities in the region was undertaken to ensure complete synergy between all security agencies and civil administration for a coordinated effort towards achievement of peace, harmony and development of the area,” the spokesperson said.

India & Bangladesh to ‘Breakfast with CM’ to strengthen restore snapped rail lines govt-citizen relationship: CMO
Agartala, Oct 28 (PTI): Bangladesh Railway Minister Mujibal Haque said an initiative has been taken to reconnect railway lines with India in 12 places, which were ............ napped after the partition in 1947. “We want to restore all the railway lines which existed before the partition of India. Now the initiative is on to restore rail connectivity in twelve places between Bangladesh and India. Both the governments are cooperating with each other in this regard,” he told reporters. Haque was in New Delhi to attend a conference of Rotary Clubs of both the countries. Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar inaugurated the conference. The Bangladesh minister said the second rail bridge on the Titas and the Bhoirab rivers in Brahmanbaria district of his country was completed with funding from India, and that it would be inaugurated soon. Apart from the ‘Moitree Express’ which runs between Dhaka and Kolkata, he said another train ‘Bandhan Express’ to run between Khulna in Bangladesh and Kolkata, was likely to be launched next month. “There is also a proposal from Bangladesh side to launch a train to connect Rajshahi in Ban-
gladesh and Kolkata,” he said. Haque noted that the progress of the 15-km long ongoing Agartala-Akhaura project was satisfactory and land acquisition for the purpose in Bangladesh side was complete. Land acquisition for the project in Indian side has also been completed, West Tripura District Magistrate and Collector Milind Ramteke had earlier told reporters. The central government has released Rs 97.63 crore to acquire the land, he said. Haque said that the 15km track connecting Agartala and Akhaura, 5 km in India and 10km in Bangladesh, will be completed next year. Ramteke stated that the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) was the nodal agency for implementation of the project on the Indian side. Former railway minister Suresh Prabhu and Haque had jointly laid the foundation stone of the project on July 31. A flyover of 3.7 km will be constructed on the Indian side to save cultivable lands and the entire project cost will be borne by the central government. New Delhi is keen to establish the rail link as it will connect West Bengal and Tripura through Bangladesh.
(From p-1) “The practice of fomenting youths in spreading hidden propaganda on social media, negligible it may be, and the encouragement to use arms, catapults, stones and sticks in their propagated endeavour for good local governance is not only a clear case of exploitation but a dangerous trend which calls for urgent attention,” CMO stated. CMO said that the government was firm in taking up the matter of road connectivity, backdoor appointments and corruption on priority basis. For this, CMO opined that any civil society or NGO including youths would do better by embracing the call of the government by suggesting measures towards strengthening and developing policies and programs meant for general welfare.

All of them have been booked under the Public Safety Act on the orders of the district magistrate, Rajouri, and have been lodged in the Central Jail, Kot Bhalwal, Jammu, police said. The three smugglers
were found involved in illegal trade of bovines, thus posing a serious threat to communal harmony, the officer said. The cow vigilante, on the other hand, is accused of taking law into his hands by assaulting people, including an elderly man at Gunda area, police said. The police have also identified other notorious drug peddlers, bovine smugglers and thieves, and will take stern action against them.

notes of denominations ranging from Rs 5 to Rs 2,000. In reply to this particular query, the RBI provided resolutions of its board meetings held on July 15, 1993, July 13, 1994 and May 19, 2016. However, these resolutions talk about design features merely for Rs 10, Rs 20, Rs 50, Rs 100 and Rs 500, all of which bear the photographs of the Father of the Nation. None of these RBI board resolutions make any references about design features or Mahatma Gandhi photographs for denominations of Rs 1,000, Rs 2,000 and now, the latest entrant to the Indian bank notes family, the Rs 200 currency note. Hence, Roy said that if the RBI board resolutions never even discussed design features or Mahatma Gandhi photographs to be incorporated in Rs 1,000 notes (discontinued after demonetisation), Rs 2,000 denomination notes (introduced on November 8, 2016) and the subsequent Rs 200 notes (introduced in mid-2017), it clearly indicates that no official approval was granted.

Essentially, this was carrying forward an earlier such proposal made on July 08, 1993 to introduce a new family of Indian bank notes of Rs 10, Rs 20, Rs 50, Rs 100 and Rs 500 of reduced sizes. This old proposal (July 08, 1993) was approved at an RBI Central Board Of Directors meeting on July 15, 1993 as per a memorandum dated August 3, 1993 sent from RBI’s Central Office, Mumbai, to the Chief Officer, Department Of Currency Manager (RBI Mumbai), which was signed by the then Executive Director, A P Aiyer. As per that proposal (of July 8, 1993), these new Indian currency notes of reduced size were to incorporate several fresh and enhanced security features in order to check counterfeiting, according to the same August 3, 1993 memorandum (quoted above).

MUMBAI, OCT 28 (IANS): In what could be a bizarre situation, the Reserve Bank Of India (RBI) does not seem to have any official records to prove that it had authorised the issue of new currency notes in denominations of Rs 2,000 and Rs 200, after demonetisation, according to documents available through RTI. “As per RTI replies provided by the RBI, the country’s central bank has apparently not published any Government Resolution (GR) or a circular till date to issue the new Rs 2,000 and recently, the Rs 200 currency notes,” says Mumbai-based RTI activist M.S. Roy. A May 19, 2016 document -- roughly around six months before demonetisation -- shows that the RBI’s Central Board of Directors approved a proposal put forth by its Executive Director on May 18, 2016. This (proposal) pertained to the new designs, dimensions and denominations of future Indian bank notes, and the Board resolved to forward it to the central government for approval, as per extracts of the minutes of that Board

Like other ads on Facebook, you will also be able to see an explanation of why you saw that particular ad,” Goldman said. “For political advertisers that do not proactively disclose themselves, we are building machine learning tools that will help us find them and require them to verify their identity,” Goldman added. Facebook said it will also soon roll out a feature that would allow its users to visit any page on Facebook and see what ads that page is running. “We will start this test in Canada and roll it out to the US by this summer, ahead of the US midterm elections in November, as well as broadly to all other countries around the same time,” Goldman said.

The Trump Organization vowed early on there would be “no new foreign deals” during Trump’s tenure as president; these two latest projects in India were inked before his election.

Mattis warns North Korea of ‘massive military response’
Jim Mattis SEOUL, OCT 28 (AFP): US Secretary of Defence Jim Mattis warned today that North Korea would face a “massive military response” if Pyongyang ever used its nuclear weapons. “Make no mistake -any attack on the United States or our allies will be defeated,” he said at a press conference on his trip to Seoul. “Any use of nuclear weapons by the North will
be met with a massive military response, effective and overwhelming.” Tensions have been running high on the Korean peninsula, with the North conducting its sixth nuclear test last month and testlaunching multiple missiles capable of reaching the US mainland. The North’s ruler Kim Jong-Un and US President Donald Trump have also traded verbal threats of
war and personal insults that have sparked global alarm. Mattis maintained that diplomacy remained a “preferred course of action” to solve the current crisis but stressed, “our diplomats are most effective when backed by credible military force”. He urged Pyongyang to “harbour no illusion”, saying the isolated state is militarily “overmatched” by the US and South Korea -- a key ally of Washington that hosts 28,500 US troops. Trump’s recent remark that “only one thing will work” with the North fuelled concerns of a potential conflict on the divided peninsula where the 1950-53 Korean War had left millions dead. But even some Trump advisers say US military options are limited when Pyongyang could launch an artillery barrage on the South’s capital Seoul -- only about 50 kms from the border and home to 10 million people.

People with autism more prone to suicide
Rohingya exodus to B’desh continues
LO N D O N, O C T 2 8 (IANS): People with autistic traits are more likely to take their own lives as they feel “shunned” by society and are depressed, researchers said. Promoting social inclusion and independence could save lives. “This is a shocking wake-up call for society. When a significant section of the population feel that they don’t belong in the world -- as a society we urgently must do more to value neuro diversity. This could ultimately save lives,” said Mirabel Pelton, a researcher at Coventry University. The study, published in the Journal Autism Research, involved 163 people aged between 18 and 30 who completed an online survey which asked a range of questions to establish the level of autism, depression and suicidal behaviour. It also examined interpersonal feelings which may be associated with attempting suicide, such as believing they do not belong or fit
in the world, and that they are a burden on others. The academics used standard tests and a psychological model to investigate associations between autistic traits, depression, feelings of not belonging and of being a burden and suicidal behaviour. The results, presented to a US federal advisory committee, suggested that those participants who exhibited higher levels of autistic traits were more at risk of suicidal behaviour during their lifetime. Higher levels of autistic traits were also associated with increased vulnerability to experiencing feelings of depression and do not belong in the world, which may put them at more risk of attempting suicide. “These are life and death issues. Research to date has failed to understand the link between autistic traits and suicide but this study suggests that promoting social inclusion and independence could literally save lives,” Pelton added.
DHAKA, OCT 28 (IANS): The influx of Rohingya refugees arriving in Bangladesh after fleeing violence in Myanmar continued on Saturday despite the two countries signing an agreement to stop the exodus. “I do not see that the Rohingya influx has stopped. Normally, 1,000 to 2,000 Rohingyas enter Bangladesh daily, and it is continuing,” Shah Kamal, secretary of the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief, told Efe news on Saturday. “The influx did not stop. We cannot even say it has slowed down.” According to the official, at least 500 Rohingyas entered the county on Friday. He said that in the last four to five days, 500-700 Rohingyas had been arriving every day. “We do not see any change in the number of Rohingyas entering Bangladesh after the agreement.” In its latest report on Friday, the UN Inter Sec-
Young Rohingya refugees crossing the Naf River to Bangladesh from Myanmar this month.
tor Coordination Group said that around 605,000 Rohingyas had arrived in Bangladesh in the last two months, excluding around 1,125 who had arrived a day before and had not been counted as they were still in transit. The crisis began on August 25 when an insurgent group of the Rohingya Muslim minority staged a series of attacks
on police and army posts in Myanmar’s Rakhine state, to which the Myanmar military responded with an ongoing large-scale offensive. Myanmar does not consider the Rohingyas to be citizens, while Bangladesh, where around 300,000 Rohingyas were living before the start of the current crisis, also treats them as foreigners.

ISLAMABAD, OCT 28 (IANS): The Pakistan Army has said it had shot down an Indian “spy” drone along the Line of Control (LoC), the media reported on Saturday. “Indian quadcopter spying across LoC in Rakhchikri sector shot down by Pakistan Army shooters,” Asif Ghafoor, Director General of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), tweeted late Friday. The ISPR chief also tweeted pictures of the wreckage which, he said, had been seized by the A r my, r e p o r t s D aw n news.

Earlier this month, Iraqi forces launched a military campaign and liberated al-Hawija, which was considered the last stronghold for IS radicals in northern Iraq. During the offensive against IS militants, Iraqi authorities have found several mass graves, including one with about 500 bodies in Badush prison, located about 25 kilometers (some 15 miles) from the northern city of Mosul.

the Senators said in their letter to Tillerson. “At least 40 people are currently sentenced to death or are serving life sentences for blasphemy. Religious minority communities, including Christians, Hindus, Ahmadis, and Shia Muslims also experience religiously motivated and sectarian violence perpetrated by terrorist organisations and societal elements with relative impunity,” said the letter. Additionally, provincial textbooks with discriminatory content against minorities remain a significant concern, the Senators said in the letter dated October 27. The Frank R Wolf International Religious Freedom Act requires the president to make CPC designations no later than 90 days after the release of the annual report and that Congress be notified no later than 90 days after these designations about the parties responsible for the violations prompting the designations, the actions the US government has taken in response, and the effectiveness of these actions. “We therefore expect to receive CPC designations by November 13, 2017, and the notification of the responsible parties, actions taken, and the effectiveness of these actions by February 11, 2018.

WASHINGTON, OCT 28 (PTI): Six influential US Senators have urged Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to designate Pakistan as a “country of particular concern” on the issue of religious freedom violation, saying its discriminatory laws continue to result in prosecution of individuals due to their faith. Senators Bob Menendez, Marco Rubio, Chris Coons, Todd Young, Jeff Merkley and James Lankford wrote a letter to Tillerson ahead of the November 13 deadline before which the State Department needs to notify Congress on its country of particular concern (CPC) designations. In the letter to Tillerson, who has just concluded a visit to Afghanistan, Pakistan and India, the bipartisan group of Senators said that they believe “the State Department should designate Pakistan as a CPC as long recommended by US Commission on International Religious Freedom. “The government of Pakistan continues to perpetrate and tolerate systematic, ongoing and egregious religious freedom violations. Discriminatory constitutional provisions and laws, including the country’s blasphemy and anti-Ahmadiyya measures continue to result in the unjust prosecution and imprisonment of individuals due to their faith,”

new posthumous audio/visual album celebrating the life of Dimebag Darrell is set to hit shelves next month. Dubbed Dimevision Vol 2: Roll With It Or Get Rolled Over, the CD/DVD set will be packed with goodies pulled from the archives of the late Pantera and Damageplan metal rocker, including five previously unreleased demos. Like its predecessor, Dimevision Vol 1: That’s The Fun I Have from 2006, the album also boasts “more raw footage, true gems, and classic moments,” as well as handwritten lyrics, per a press statement. For fans with a little more cash to throw around, certain album bundles come packaged with a special Collector’s Edition hardback photo book featuring rarely seen photos. Ahead of Dimevision Vol 2’s release on November 24th, label Metal Blade Records has shared what they consider one of the funniest clips from the set, in which Darrell is fitted for a CPAP machine. The musician’s longtime girlfriend Rita Haney offers up more context about the video and says, “I had just rolled outta bed and the doc fitting him was about an hour early for his appointment. Dime and ST were still up partying, so of course things never go as planned in Dime’s world! One thing people need to realize is that when you’re getting fitted for one of these machines, it’s imperative that you not speak during the process so they can ramp the proper amount of air through those things, so you have to keep your mouth closed.

Shuttler Srikanth enters final; Sindhu bows out of French Open
(L-R) Kidambi Srikanth and PV Sindhu.
Paris, Oct 28 (IANS): Indian shuttler Kidambi Srikanth bounced back to win 14-21, 21-19, 21-18 in a three-setter against H.S Prannoy and enter the men’s singles final but P.V. Sindhu crashed out of the women’s singles at the $325,000 French Open Superseries here on Saturday. Srikanth now has taken a 3-1 lead in the head-to-
head statistics against Prannoy. In the first game, after Srikanth took the first point of the match, Prannoy bounced back to take a 9-7 lead in the first game. However, the Guntur man quickly brought things level 10-10. Later, Prannoy took charge of the things to take a 17-13 lead and convert it into his first game
victory. The second game started with Prannoy taking a slender 11-10 lead at the breather. Later Srikanth managed to come back and dominate things to clinch the second game and push the match to the third and decisive game. In the third game, Prannoy had an early 1110 advantage but failed to
maintain it giving away easy points to Srikanth who capitalised on the situation and clinched the match. Srikanth will take on the winner of match between Anders Antonsen and Kenta Nishimoto in the finals. Earlier, Sindhu failed to find any momentum in a women’s singles semifinal against Japan’s Akane Yamaguchi that lasted 37 minutes, going down 14-21, 9-21. The first game saw a close contest between both shuttlers with the Japanese taking a slender 11-10 lead at the breather. The World No.5 gave little away to the Rio Olympics silver medallist from India, as she gathered seven straight points to take the opening game with ease. The second game witnessed complete domination from the Japanese shuttler, who opened up a 6-0 lead before heading to the break at 11-2. After the break, Akane continued to hold the upper hand and took full advantage of Sindhu’s numerous unforced errors to easily pocket the game and the match.
We need to build on U-17 World Cup recognition: Chhetri
KO L K ATA , O c t 2 8 (AGENCIES): A day after FIFA President Gianni Infantino waxed eloquent about India’s organisation of the U-17 World Cup and even went to say the future is bright for the sport in the country, national team skipper Sunil Chhetri urged all stakeholders to cash in on this recognition. Chhetri, who is the face of the sport in the country and is the all-time leading goalscorer for the national team, said it is imperative all the more now for the national teams to step up. “The biggest gain for us is that Indian football has been recognised at the world stage. This is the best opportunity to cash in and make it count,” Chhetri, in the city for the World Cup final and third place clash between Spain-England and Brazil-Mali, told IANS in an interview. India qualified for the AFC Asian Cup 2019 after eight years. Under head coach Stephen Constantine, in July they jumped to their best-ever ranking of 96 since February 1996. Now India is ranked 105. Chhetri expressed satisfaction that the next set of players to represent the senior team is ready with the U-17 boys giving a good account of themselves in three Group A matches they played.

England thrash Spain 5-2 to win maiden FIFA U-17 World Cup
KO L KATA , O c t 2 8 (Agencies): England swaggered their way into the FIFA U-17 World Cup triumph and the invigorating final against Spain was as much a celebration of attacking football as it was about an incredible turnaround here on Saturday. The Three Lions colts hammered The La Rojas juniors 5-2 in the highestscoring final in the history of this age-group tournament. England were two goal down just before the half time with Spain winger Sergio Gomez scoring in the 10th and 31st minutes, but the Three Lions rallied to pump in five goals, including four in the second half, through Phil Foden (69th and 88th), Rhian Brewster (44th), Morgan Gibbs White (58th) and Marc Guehi (84th). The spectacle was taking place in front of a capacity crowd of 66,684 at the Salt Lake Stadium. It was a treat to watch for the packed-to-the-rafters stadium as there were never a dull moment during the frantically fast-paced match with end-to-end action. England had never gone beyond the quarterfinal stage in their earlier

attempts but they conquered the world this year and also avenged their loss to Spain in penalty shootouts in the European Championships in Croatia in May. Today’s win in the allEuropean final also capped England Youth teams’ remarkable year. They had won the U-20 World Cup in South Korea earlier this year while their U-19 side had won the European championships. England now became the ninth champion of the FIFA U-17 World Cup. Their striker Rhian Brewster also ended as the tournament’s highest scorer with eight goals to get the Golden Boot.
Spain finished runnersup for the fourth time after 1991, 2003 and 2007. The summit clash was a fitting finale for a tournament which has set the record of most attendance in its history. It has also become the highest scoring event with 177 goals from 52 matches. The match started at a frantic pace and England had a chance as early as the first minute. Morgan Gibbs-White had a one-two with Brewster, before firing in a fierce low shot from just inside the penalty area, which Spain goalie Alvaro Fernandez palmed away. Spain hit back on the counter and took the lead
Hungry to win the EPL, says Wenger
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger
L on d on, O c t 2 8 (IANS): Arsenal chief coach Arsene Wenger said he is hungrier than ever to win the English Premier League (EPL) title. Arsenal are currently fifth in the EPL table with 16 points after nine matches. “I was always hungry, but I’m more hungry than ever because the demands are higher,” the 68-year-old
was quoted saying by The Independent on Saturday. “I didn’t win the Premier League for a long time, and because I want to do that before you get me out of here,” Wenger added. The French who last won the EPL title in the 2003-04 season said he always had something to prove to the club and its fans since then.
“I have always got something to prove, if I play with you now we go out there and play four v four you will see that I will try to win, we can play one v one if you want,” Wenger said. Wenger who has been at the helm of Arsenal since 1996 said he is still at the club to compete and not for any financial gains. “Yes I have experience but there are two ways: you ignore your age and you live like you live forever, or you think ok -- I think I am born for competition. I don’t know why, and what happened, but it is like that. No matter what I do,” the former midfielder said. “The need is the desire to compete. That’s my real need. It has never been financial. If it was financial I would not be here,” Wenger added.
in the 10th minute through Gomez. Off a fine pass from Abel Ruiz from the center, Juan Miranda sent a cross from the left which Gelabert managed to squeeze himself between two England defenders and flipped it in front for Gomez to do the rest. The England defence had an average show and captain Joel Latibeaudiere, who has not put a foot wrong in this tournament till today, was outsmarted by his opposite number Abel Ruiz on occasions. Ruiz once again came up with a brilliant show, leading the Spain attack quite well. England had more possession and equal number of four shots on target in the first half and they regrouped and scored soon after resumption in the 58th minute through Morgan Gibbs-White. It was the spadework of Foden, the other outstanding England player of the day besides Hudson Odoi, that resulted in the equaliser. The Manchester City youth team player gave a wonderful defence splitting pass on the right and an overlapping Sessegnon sent in a first-time low cross for Gibbs-White to easily slot the ball home.

Singapore, Oct 28 battled past Czech Karo(IANS): Danish tennis lina Pliskova 7-6 (11-9), player Caroline Wozniacki 6-3 to secure a place in the
final of Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) Finals for the second time. In a battle between former world number one stars, Pliskova paid for squandering a lead 4-2 and three set points in the 10th game on Saturday, reports Efe. With each player holding next serve, they got into a tiebreak, where Wozniacki had five straight set points while leading 6-1.

minutes of contest. The 25-year-old Pliskova seemed to run out of steam and trailed 3-1 in the second set.

India outclass Singapore in women’s Asia Cup hockey opener
K a k a m ig a h a r a , Oct 28 (IANS): India got off to a roaring start, thrashing Singapore 10-0 in their opening clash of the womens Asia Cup 2017 here on Saturday. It was goals by Navneet Kaur (3’ and 41’), Rani (15’ and 18’), Lalremsiami (18’), Deep Grace Ekka (25’), Navjot Kaur (30’ and 50’), Gurjit Kaur (41’) and Sonika (45’) that ensured India notched up the winning points in their opening match in Pool A. India began with a positive intent, attacking Singapore’s circle and constantly finding an opportunity to score. The effort worked as the team won back-to-back
penalty corners in the first quarter. Though the first PC was saved by Singapore goalkeeper Felissa Lai, it hardly dented India’s spirit as they were precise in their counter. It was Navneet and Rani’s goals in the third and 15th minute that gave India a 2-0 lead in the first quarter. India continued their good run in the second quarter, adding four more goals to their lead via Lalremsiami, Rani, Deep Grace Ekka and Navjot to go into the 10minute half-time break with an imposing 6-0 lead. After Grace scored off a PC in the 25th minute, dragflicker Gurjit Kaur was
fierce in her strike to score India’s seventh goal through a PC in the 41st minute. India stayed resolute as they continued to put pressure on Singapore defence pumping two more goals in the third quarter through Navneet and Sonika in the 41st and 45th minute respectively. The final 15 minutes saw India win back-to-back PCs. But the Singapore defence averted conceding further goals, before a quickthinking Navjot scored a field goal in the 50th minute to earn her team a 10-0 lead. Earlier in the day, China beat Malaysia 5-4 in a closely fought encounter.
