Centre on alert after exodus of Rohingyas
G U WA H AT I , O C T 1 (AGENCIES): An alert has been sounded by the Railway Police Force over mass movement of illegal Rohingya from Assam and other North Eastern states to South Indian states using trains originating from the region and West Bengal. As per report published in The Assam Tribune, a communication from the Railway Protection Force (RPF) marked ‘secret’ claimed that a huge number of Rohingya are coming to Kerala by train. The communication dated September 26 was sent from RPF Principal Chief Security Commissioner P Sethu Madhavan to all his divisional commissioners. “All Rohingyas are travelling in groups along with their families… Officers and staff under your control may be sensitized about their movement. If they are found in trains, they may be handed over to the police having jurisdiction for further action. Action taken report may be sent to this office at the earliest for the perusal of the Principal Chief Security Commissioner of the RPF (PCSC),” the communication directed.
According to reports, the railway divisional security commissioners in Madurai, Thiruvananthapuram and Palakkad have reported mass movement of Rohingya from the North East to Kerala through several long-distance trains. The letter has identified 14 trains traversing the Northeast-Kerala route, including Howrah-Chennai Coromandel Express, Howrah-Chennai Mail, Shalimar-Thiruvananthapuram Express, Silchar-Thir uvananthapuram Express and Dibrugarh-Chennai Egmore Express, as potential trains to carry suspected Rohingya to Kerala. The 14 trains are known to carry labourers on a daily basis from the NE states, West Bengal, Odisha and Bihar to the southern state in search of work.
States asked to identify Rohingya refugees
Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh Monday said the state governments have been asked to identify Rohingya refugees in their regions and collect their biometric details. The Centre will send the biometric reports collected by states to the Myan-
mar government through diplomatic channel for the resolution of the issue, he said. “We have already issued a concerned advisory on this issue. The states have been asked to identify them and collect their biometrics,” Singh told reporters here after the meeting of the Eastern Zonal Council. The Union Home minister chaired the 23rd meeting of the Council to discuss issues related to inter-state relations and security matters, including the Maoist menace. Last month, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said that any sovereign nation is free to take action against illegal migrants. He said that the issue of deportation of Rohingyas for India is not a matter of ego and confrontation but of principles. Those who, in the name of human rights, are expressing concern on the rights of others should bother first for the rights of the citizens of India. The citizens of the country have the first right on its resources and not the illegal migrants. Rohingyas are illegal migrants; they are not refugees for which a process is required to be completed, which they never followed.
He said that India is not a signatory to International Laws on Refugees or to the UN Refugee Convention 1951, hence, the question of its violation does not arise. The principle of nonrefoulement would apply to Rohingyas only if, they were given asylum in India. He said that the Government is very clear on the issue and to this effect has filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court. The Union Home Minister said the Government of India has extended aid to Bangladesh for the welfare of Rohingyas there. He described both Bangladesh and Myanmar as friendly countries and said that the State Counsellor of Myanmar, Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi has raised a ray of hope by saying that her country is prepared to take back Rohingyas. He expressed the hope that Myanmar would take some solid steps in this direction at the earliest. Earlier this year, he Centre on Friday urged the Supreme Court not to intervene in the executive decision on deportation of Rohingya Muslims to Myanmar and it would not be in national interest for the court to issue a direction to stop their deportation.
SBI halves daily ATM cash withdrawal limit NEW DELHI, OCT 1 (AGENCIES): India’s largest lender, State Bank of India (SBI), has lowered the ATM cash withdrawal limit to Rs 20,000 a day, from Rs 40,000. The lower limit will be effective from October 31. “In view of the increase in the number of complaints received by banks around fraudulent transactions at ATMs and to encourage digital and cashless transactions, it has been decided to decrease the cash withdrawal limits of debit cards issued or being issued on ‘Classic’ and ‘Maestro’ platforms,” said a bank communiqué to offices. Skimmers, as reported in multiple cases in the past decade, steal the PIN for debit cards from unsuspecting customers using hidden cameras and electronic devices. The Classic cards constitute a sizeable chunk of SBI’s card portfolio. Despite the government’s digital push and rise in digital transactions, demand for cash continues to be high and, according to some estimates, it is as high as pre-demonetisation levels.

State ranks 3rd among NE States in HIV Correspondent
KOHIMA, OCT 1 (NPN): Despite relentless efforts by Nagaland State AIDS Control Society (NSACS), Nagaland Legislators’ Forum for AIDS (NLFA) and other agencies, Nagaland continues to be counted among the top three States in the Northeast with high HIV/AIDS prevalence. As per a recent report, Mizoram tops the list with 2.04% of its population between 15 and 49 years of age being infected with HIV, while Manipur (1.43%) and Nagaland (1.15 %) follow suit. Also, the recent fourmonth survey from April to July this year found an alarming upsurge in HIV positive cases in Dimapur with 399 out of the 7,056 persons tested being found positive.

day crossed the Rs 91mark in Mumbai while domestic cooking gas LPG rates breached the Rs 500level for the first time ever as oil at four-year high pushed fuel prices to new all-time high across the country. Petrol prices were hiked by 24 paise per litre and diesel by 30 paise, according to price notification of state-owned oil firms. The hike pushed petrol price in Delhi to an alltime high of Rs 83.73 per litre and diesel to Rs 75.09. In Mumbai, petrol now costs Rs 91.08 at Indian Oil Corp (IOC) outlets, Rs 91.15 at Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd (BPCL) pumps and Rs 91.15 at Hindustan Petroleum Corp Ltd (HPCL) stations. Diesel in Mumbai costs Rs 79.72 per litre at IOC outlets and Rs 79.79
mestic cooking gas (LPG) rates were hiked by Rs 2.89 per 14.2-kg cylinder to Rs 502.40 on account of higher GST applicable on base price, according to oil companies. This is the fifth straight monthly increase in subsidised LPG rates. It was priced at Rs 491.21 in May. All consumers have to buy cooking gas LPG at market price. The government, however, subsidizes 12 cylinders of 14.2-kg each per households in a year by providing the subsidy amount directly in bank accounts of users. This subsidy amount varies from month to month, depending on the changes in the average international benchmark LPG rate and foreign exchange rate. When international rates move up, the govern-
Telcos asked to delink Aadhaar-based eKYC NEW DELHI, OCT 1 (PTI): Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) Monday asked telecom companies to submit within next 15 days a plan to stop using Aadhaar for customer authentication, days after the Supreme Court imposed curbs on the use of the 12digit unique ID number. A circular to this effect has been issued by the UIDAI to telecom service providers (TSPs), including Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio, Vodafone Idea and others. The UIDAI circular, seen by PTI, says: “...all TSPs are called upon to immediately take actions in order to comply with the judgement dated 26.09.2018. In this regard, TSPs are hereby directed to submit by 15th October, 2018, an action plan/exit plan to the authority for closure of use of Aadhaar based authentication systems...” Significantly, the UIDAI has also asked all telecom
operators to “take immediate cognizance” of the request for delinking Aadhaar with mobile number as and when such requests are received from subscribers. The authority noted that TSPs may take appropriate action to perform fresh KYC as per the Department of Telecom (DoT) approved list of proof of identity, and proof of address within six months from the date of such request to avoid de-activation of the mobile number. “All TSPs shall immediately notify their customers the facility of delinking their Aadhaar number and the UID token from their database and establish a system to accept and process such requests for delinking,” UIDAI said adding that the “process of delinking” should form a part of the exit plan that has been sought. The Supreme Court, last week, struck down Section 57 of the Aadhaar Act,
which allowed private companies to use the 12-digit biometric ID-based eKYC. Following this, private companies like telecom operators will not be able to use this instantaneous and inexpensive Aadhaar eKYC route. This would mean that the industry will have to revert to alternates like legacy paper-based technique (collect physical paper forms with signature, photographs, ship to verification centre and call up the customer to cross-verify submitted details). The turn around times in this route is between 24-36 hours. When contacted, UIDAI CEO Ajay Bhushan Pandey said: “In order to ensure smooth discontinuation... there are certain requirements which are there under the Aadhaar regulations... so the companies are in the best position to know what exactly is needed and they can submit their plan by October 15.”
rules, GST on LPG has to be calculated at the market rate of the fuel. The government may choose to subsidize a part of the price but tax will have to be paid at market rates. This has led to increase in price. The price of non-subsidised or market priced LPG in Delhi was hiked by Rs 59.00 per cylinder to Rs 879 mainly due to change in international price and foreign exchange fluctuations. According to IOC, the subsidy transfer in customers’ bank account has been increased to Rs 376.60 per cylinder in October as against Rs 320.49 per cylinder in the previous month. Delhi has the cheapest fuel rates among all metros and most state capitals because of lower taxes.
Ahead of the festive season, the Nagaland Pollution Control Board (NPCB) has reiterated on the Noise (Regulation and Control of Pollution) Rule, 2000 laid down by the Centre to regulate noise so people were least disturbed. In an official notice, NPCB member secretary, Rusovil John, pointed out that under the said rule firecrackers above 125 decibels were banned besides bursting of crackers from 10pm to 6am was not permitted. In addition to the above rules, the NPCB under Section 31 A of the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and section 8 of the Noise (Regulation and Control of Pollution) Rule, 2000 has directed that, if there was to be firework, prior permission has to be taken from the concerned (Cont’d on p-12)
NSCN (K): Counter rejoinder to rival group DIMAPUR, OCT 1 (NPN): In a counter rejoinder to the rival group’ statement issued by MIP in-charge ‘maj.’ Joseph Lamkang, the NSCN (K) group led by ‘gen.’ (retd) Khango Konyak said that Yonghong led Pangmi sect had “wilfully seceded from NSCN/GPRN and entered into an NCA pact with Myanmar Union, thus forfeiting almost a century old Nagas struggle for sovereign independence.” Therefore, Khango led group through its MIP asserted that Nagas from India in particular cannot serve two masters and there cannot be two parallel NSCN/GPRN in Nagaland. MIP said that since the Myanmar NCA group had sought refuge under the Myanmar juntas, it would be a wastage of resources and unnecessary harassment to entertain them (NCA group) in any form i.e. politically,
morally or materially. “The Nagas under Indian occupation cannot afford to continue to feed the Myanmar NCA group despite the presence of few misguided leaders from Nagaland in their midst,” it added. MIP also alleged that the group has been comfortably pursuing lucrative businesses worth millions in the form of road construction contracts, gold and jade mining, illicit opium trade and other extortion rackets. Terming it as a “hollow claim” that Khango was impeached constitutionally and consented by all the NSCN/ GPRN members MIP said only 36 pangmi workers plotted and appended the impeachment order amid thousands of NSCN/GPRN workers who were completely ignored, uninformed and uninvolved in the conspiracy.

NSACS, NLFA, Naga Hospital Authority Kohima (NHAK) and Red Ribbon Club of Kohima College, Kohima (KCK), the programme was held at Kohima College here on Monday. Thejangunuo said as per the HIV Sentinel Surveillance (HSS) survey, Nagaland led the country with high HIV general prevalence rate of 1.29% in 2016 and was third in the adult prevalence rate (0.78%). She said between 1999 and 2018, a total of 1,06,1976 persons had undergone blood screening test, out of which 23,870 persons were found to be HIV positive. Stating that HIV prevalence was high-
est in the 25-34 years agegroup (42%), followed by the age group 35-49 (31%), the DD added that 93% of the cases transmitted was via sexual intercourse. She regretted that though the State government provided Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) for free, many people living with HIV (PLHIV) did not avail ART out of stigma and discrimination. Thejangunuo stated that out of 10,61,976 PLHIVs, only 17,161 got registered for ART and 12,042 had started ART. Further, 1,583 patients died despite undergoing ART and 7,646 were alive on ART, she added. (Cont’d on p-12)

Y Amar of the Economics department, N Nimai (Physics), M Ranjit (Mathematics) and N Debananda (Biochemistry) have been charged with “misconduct”, an order signed by registrar in-charge M Shyammesho said.

Itanagar’s first airport to come up at Hollongi
I tanagar , O ct 1 (Agencies): Despite attaining statehood 29 years ago, an airport for Arunachal Pradesh’s capital has remained a distant dream for residents of Itanagar. However, all that is set to change, with Union minister Jayant Sinha announcing on Monday that the foundation stone for the proposed greenfield airport at Hollongi would be laid in December, The Indian Express reported. About Rs 1,200 crore will be spent on developing the airport, which will have a better topography and a larger runway. “The proposed 2,200-metre runway at the greenfield airport can handle jet aircraft that can provide direct flights to metro cities,” Sinha said, adding that services could also be extended to international destinations. A greenfield airport is an aviation facility that is planned, commissioned and built from scratch without destroying an existing structure. Arunachal Pradesh already has airports at Tezu and Pasighat. The first commercial flight to Arunachal Pradesh landed at Pasighat airport in East Siang district with 25 passengers on May 22 this year. Sinha said the entire state would be linked with aviation services in the next 10 years and asserted that helicopter, seaplanes and passenger drone services would connect small and big towns.

of Development of North Eastern Region will spend about Rs 350 crore for the initial phase of work in the Hollongi airport. The plan to build an airport for Itanagar was conceived as early as 2007 but the differences between the Airports Authority of India and the state government resulted in the project getting delayed. The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) eventually stepped in to put an end to the dispute in July 2012 and the Holongi site was finalised. In 2007, the state government had chosen Banderdeva, 25 km from Itanagar, as the original choice for the construction of the airport. The then Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil had even laid the foundation stone of the airport on February 20. However, demands by civil society groups for higher compensation created hurdles. Subsequently, the Airports Authority of India rejected the BanderwaKarsingsa site and selected Hollongi by virtue of being a predominantly flat land. Then chief secretary Shakuntala Gamlin in a note to the Union civil aviation secretary cited that the cost of land development would be lower if the airport was constructed at Hollongi. However, land acquisition cost will be comparatively higher as the proposed site is a Chakma-Hajong settlement area since 1968, the note cited.

The four suspended professors were not among those arrested. Eighty students were released later, while seven and two students are in judicial and police custody respectively. The six teachers are also in judicial custody. The MUTA, as well as the Manipur University Students’ Union (MUSU) and Manipur University Staff Association (MUSA), have been demanding that the FIR be revoked and the 15 arrested teachers and students be released. A prolonged battle between former vice-chancellor A P Pandey and the students and teachers have hampered academic activities for over four months. President Ram Nath Kovind, in his capacity as Visitor of the university, recently placed Pandey under suspension as an inquiry was underway into the allegations of irregularities against him. Singh was appointed as the acting V-C soon after the suspension of Pandey.

Conrad clears air on Sixth Schedule amendment
S h i l l on g , O c t 1 (Agencies): Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Monday said that various suggestions given by various organizations from Meghalaya were taken into consideration by the Centre, Northeast Now reported. Conrad conveyed this message to a delegation under the banner of Meghalaya Indigenous Tribal Constitutional Rights Movement that met him at the Secretariat. The delegation sought to know from Chief Minister the status of suggestions they had given to the Central government on the proposed amendment to the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution as Meghalaya has three autonomous district councils created under the Sixth Schedule. Northeast Students’ Organization (Neso) chairman, Samuel B. Jyrwa who was part of the delegation told reporters that the delegation briefed the Chief Minister about the meeting
they had with MHA joint secretary (Northeast), Satyendra Garg on May 25 in Shillong where they had discussed the issue and submitted various suggestions on the proposed amendment to the Sixth Schedule. Jyrwa said that the Chief Minister said that suggestions have been accepted by the ministry, and now they are preparing the amendment to be sent to the Union cabinet for approval. The delegation made it clear that besides amendment related increase of seats, giving direct funding to district councils, and holding of elections, the words ‘village council’ and ‘municipal council’ as indicated in the proposed amendment, should not mean traditional institutions like ‘Dorbar Shnongs, Dorbar Raid, and Dorbar Hima’ in Meghalaya, and the words “municipal council’ does not mean ‘town dorbar.’ “The ministry has decided to leave to the respective district councils of

Patowary said 13 statewide bandhs had been called in 2018 so far, besides 16 local-level bandhs. As per Directorate of Economics and Statistics, per day bandh leads to a loss of Rs 6790 lakh.

Meghalaya to explain and define about the traditional institutions as per their understanding and requirement from one council to another,” Jyrwa said, adding that the issue would be followed up. On the report that the move to amend the Sixth Schedule would be in line with Panchayati Raj system, the chief minister informed the delegation that in areas where there district councils exist, the funding will come to the autonomous district councils. Another delegation member, John Kharshiing said that the Centre has to also amend Article 280 to allow the Central government to allocate funds for the district councils as it has been in the case of Panchayats and Municipal councils. “Article 280 has to be amended by incorporating the words district councils so that the Centre can earmark special funds for district councils in the state under Article 280,” John said.
Northeast Sonowal launches scheme for pregnant women G u wa h at i , O c t 1 (PTI): Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Monday launched a compensation scheme to bring down the mortality rate among pregnant women in tea garden areas of the state. Sonowal said Assam’s identity is synonymous with its tea, but the large working labour population in the tea gardens have not been given access to quality healthcare. The high maternal mortality ratio (MMR) among pregnant women in tea garden areas has been a major cause of worry, he said, adding, they have to work through their pregnancy till the time of delivery. To address this concern, the Wage Compensation Scheme for Pregnant Women has been launched to provide a total of Rs 12,000 to each pregnant woman working in the tea gardens, the CM said. An amount of over Rs 55 crore has been allotted in the state’s 2018-19 health Budget towards this scheme, which will benefit nearly 48,000 pregnant women of tea garden areas every year.

They were either forced into the profession by their near ones or had to take it up to feed their families.” Onaebe was just 15 years old when she was married off to a heroin addict at Thoubal district by her family. After giving birth to a daughter, she divorced her husband at the age of 19 and came to the capital town to earn a living by selling vegetables. “Selling regular vegetables, I could barely make Rs 200 per day.

United Committee Manipur denies report Rajnath calls Tripura tribal Correspondent
IMPHAL, Oct 1: United Committee Manipur (UCM) Monday has dismissed a report that “Chinese agencies have been trying to influence “some groups” of the North East, including the rebel outfits, to derail the peace process in Nagaland.” Clarifying on the report, UCM president Sunil Karam said no external force or Chinese agencies were instigating people’s
movement to protect the territorial integrity of Manipur. Karam claimed that the report was nothing but the Indian government’s wrong propaganda to give a wrong impression of people’s voice for protecting the unity and territorial integrity of the state. He said that the report was highly condemnable when all communities living together in the state of Manipur were against the
Centre’s move to disintegrate the territorial integrity of the state. “There is no question of influencing the CSOs by any external agency or Chinese agency. We strongly condemn such reports,” he said. He further stated “India government must stop indulging in divisive policy if they want peace in the region”, saying that the movement for protection of territorial integrity of
Manipur was not limited to any particular community or tribe. Meanwhile, Karam announced that UCM was planning to organize a mass rally on October 31 against any move of the Central government to distort the territorial integrity of Manipur. The mass rally will be followed by a public meeting and the resolution to be adopted in the meeting will be submitted to the government of India.
Flesh trade on the rise in narrow alleys of Manipur Imphal, Oct 1 (PTI): The dingy motels that dot the narrow alleys of Paona Bazaar in Imphal, amid the liquor dens and roadside eateries, have become the latest hub of flesh trade in the city, a study conducted by a local non-government organization (NGO) has claimed. At nearby Thangal Bazaar and North AOC areas, too, organised sex trade has seen a steady growth in the recent years, according to data compiled by NGO Meitei Leimarel Sinnai Sang (MLSS). S Inaocha, the project director of MLSS, said a survey conducted till August has registered 915 female sex workers (FSW) in the state capital as against 908 last year. “The actual figure is far more than what we have recorded as many FSWs were reluctant to reveal their true identities. Even the ones who have registered themselves with MLSS had to

the same. “The pimps and arrangers often take away a chunk of the collections these FSWs make. They are the ones who run the show,” Inaocha said. Another woman, who refused to be identified, said she was tricked into joining the trade by a local at her hometown in Churachandpur district. “I came to Imphal to work for a private company, but ended up joining the flesh trade. I was locked up in a hotel room for several days and not allowed to contact anyone. They agreed to set me free only after I relented,” she added. Many of these women start taking drugs to cope with the stress and humiliation. “The FSWs registered with MLSS also included Female Injecting Drug Users (FIDUs). Some of them take heavy doses of heroin to get through the day,” Inaocha said.
Nirvana Foundation, another NGO working with women addicts, said it has registered 265 FIDUs as of September this year compared to 231 last year. Both FSWs and FIDUs face harassment by social groups and clubs engaged in moral policing, H Devlaxmi, the project manager of Nirvana Foundation, said. “These women are often badly assaulted by local groups, rendering them paralysed for a week,” she said. Both MLSS and Nirvana have come together to open “night shelters” for the sex workers and addicts. “The shelters would save them from exploitation to a certain extent in the night hours,” Devlaxmi explained. Alliance India, headquartered in Delhi, along with Nirvana is currently conducting a research – Violence Intervention - to analyse the hostility perpetu-

ated towards FIDUs and FSWs by the moral policing brigade, she said. “It’s a challenging task as these social groups target women who cannot retaliate. They, however, cannot raise a finger at those who import bulk of drugs in the state from India-Myanmar border town of Moreh,” the project manager at Nirvana said. Often the FIDUs flee their homes and cities fearing these moral policing drives. “The FSWs and FIDUs are too scared to file complaints with the police.
It becomes hard to trace them once they leave without informing us,” Inaocha said. The two NGOs, along with local activists, are trying to raise awareness on the legal rights enjoyed by the women. “A legal clinic under Manipur State Legal Services Authority was set up in July this year to promote awareness of the rights available to FIDUs. Apart from that, we are also trying to educate these women about the options available to them in times of distress,” Inaocha added.
leaders to discuss NRC
Ag a rta l a , O c t 1 (IANS): Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh will meet tribal outfit INPT’s leaders in Delhi on October 4 to discuss their demand for a National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Tripura, a party leader said here on Monday. “Following our request, the Home Minister has called Indigenous Nationalist Party of Tripura (INPT) President Bijoy Kumar Hrangkhawl and General Secretary Jagadhish Debbarma to New Delhi to discuss the demand,” INPT Advisory Council Chairman Srota Ranjan Khisa told IANS. Khisa said: “Tripura’s main opposition tribal party will also file a petition in the Supreme Court soon to seek introducing of the NRC in the state. We will also hold a sit-in in New Delhi in November on the issue.” He said that the INPT last month submitted a memorandum to the Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India in New Delhi on the reasons for the need of the NRC in Tripura. The INPT has been campaigning in Tripura in sup-
Rajnath Singh port of its demands -- withdrawal of the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016; more constitutional power to Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council; introduction of inner-line permit in these areas; and inclusion of Kokborok language in the 8th Schedule of the Constitution. Another tribal party, the Indigenous People’s Front of Tripura (IPFT) which is a junior partner in the Bharatiya Janata Party-led alliance government, is also agitating in support of similar demands. Six other smaller tribal parties in Tripura have also been intermittently voicing their support for demands concerning the tribals, who comprise one third of the state’s four-million population.

Justifying neglect
ncroachments over railway land in Dimapur has been blamed for stagnating expansion plans and throwing every proposal for improvement of passenger amenities out of gear. Nagaland Post had been covering the issue of encroachment on railway land as well as issues of poor infrastructural facilities and train poor connectivity since mid-90s. Some improvements have been made though these were mostly as part of the railway plan and nothing exceptional. The point to note is that while minor stations in other parts of the north east like Lumding, Dibrugarh, Tinsukia, Jorhat, Mariani etc (in terms of revenue earning) are being pampered with passenger amenities; Dimapur has been left far behind. According to the officials of Northeast Frontier Railways (NFR) the major hurdle for expansion for development of Dimapur railway station has been legally unresolved issue of encroachment of land. According to railway officials, the entire Dimapur railway land is officially recorded as under “Certified Land Plan” since post independence. According to the NFR railway officials, the plan for improvement of passenger amenities in Dimapur was for construction of another track (No.3) for goods train so that the roofless passenger platform No. 2 can be widened from its current 4.6 meters to 9.2 meters to handle the huge number of travellers. In anticipation of the expansion and modernisation plans, the railways had also laid new tracks exclusively for goods trains. However, the proposed new track from Dimapur to Diphu passes through the railway bazaar and over which encroachments had taken place over the decades. Railways have a long-term plan to shift the current goods yard to Rangapahar area with initiation from the state government to develop the roads. Most unfortunately, encroachers have been issued with ownership deeds ‘pattas’ after statehood by some officials of the Nagaland state government. It appears that pattas were issued by wilfully violating the law since the lands were not free from encumbrances but belong to the railways since the time when the entire North East region were under Assam. This wilful act also seems to be the standard practise for all government lands which have been gradually surrendered to encroachers in the state. The ‘status quo’ order means nothing less than legal permit to remain in the land despite possessing land ownership deeds ‘pattas’ illegally issued by some officials. The railways had conducted eviction in railway bazaar in June 2014 under the Public Premises Eviction Act of 1971 in presence of state judicial magistrates. While 50 households were evicted but over a dozen produced land ownership deeds and took the matter to court. In such cases, the first action of any government worth its name is to set up an inquiry to ascertain who are responsible for violating the law. Granted, that land encroachment is an issue but NFR must also explain how some mandirs were allowed to be constructed right in the middle of the new ticketing area. The other is that even if encroachment is an issue, what prevents NFR from-(a) releasing more seats/quotas for Dimapur and (b) originating at least ten out of 40 trains from Dimapur? The above (a&b) arise because Dimapur railway station is the second highest revenue earner for the NFR and they speak on behalf of Dimapur station which deserves to be given adequate and commensurate amenities.
DailyDevotion The Place of Exaltation …Jesus took…them up on a high mountain apart by themselves… —Mark 9:2 We have all experienced times of exaltation on the mountain, when we have seen things from God’s perspective and have wanted to stay there. But God will never allow us to stay there. The true test of our spiritual life is in exhibiting the power to descend from the mountain. If we only have the power to go up, something is wrong. It is a wonderful thing to be on the mountain with God, but a person only gets there so that he may later go down and lift up the demon-possessed people in the valley (see Mark 9:14-18). We are not made for the mountains, for sunrises, or for the other beautiful attractions in life— those are simply intended to be moments of inspiration. We are made for the valley and the ordinary things of life, and that is where we have to prove our stamina and strength. Yet our spiritual selfishness always wants repeated moments on the mountain. We feel that we could talk and live like perfect angels, if we could only stay on the mountaintop. Those times of exaltation are exceptional and they have their meaning in our life with God, but we must beware to prevent our spiritual selfishness from wanting to make them the only time. We are inclined to think that everything that happens is to be turned into useful teaching. In actual fact, it is to be turned into something even better than teaching, namely, character. The mountaintop is not meant to teach us anything, it is meant to make us something. There is a terrible trap in always asking, “What’s the use of this experience?” We can never measure spiritual matters in that way. The moments on the mountaintop are rare moments, and they are meant for something in God’s purpose.

W
e may pride ourselves that we have 26,000 elephants – but we avoid saying that these are what is left of a several lakh population of elephants, and that it decreases every year. We have only about a thousand tuskers, so the gene pool is very diluted. The worst is that we have 3,500 elephants in captivity. An elephant is emotionally, exactly like a human being. He/ she cries, mourns, protects children by encircling them and distracting them by giving them something to eat and play with, has close bonds with family, respects elders, loves playing in the water, is joyful and angry. The elephant is a wild being whose intelligence is as great as ours and whose extra sensory perception is perhaps much greater. Such an animal, a being who dreams and aspires, cannot be tamed. He/she can be subdued with whips and chains and blindings and starvation, but the spirit remains wild. The kraals of Tamil Nadu are famous – you put a elephant into a tight enclosure and then you keep beating it for months till it can barely stand. Then – if it recovers - you chain it for life and sell it to a temple, or to a professional beggar. Have you seen the films made on the temple elephants of Kerala and the Rajasthan fort of Amer? Watch them. You will never be the same again. Most of the elephants climbing the Amer Fort daily, in the desert heat on the tarred roads with tourists on their backs, are blind. Every night their mahouts – alcoholic to a man - burn their feet with welding machines so that their foot bones are exposed. The elephants that were shown in the film died in 3 years – all of them young or middle
aged. There are over 550 elephants in private ownership in Kerala . About 200+ are killed every year. They have a ritual in Kerala that when an elephant comes into Musth, it is tied with heavy chains for months. Then, after the Musth, it is thrashed for 48 hours with heavy sticks, by 4-6 mahouts together, in order to subdue him before the chains are taken off. Many elephants have died of the beatings which are relentless and vicious. No mahout has ever been jailed. In fact, a woman, who was known for her vicious treatment while capturing wild elephants in Assam, was actually awarded for her work. The fact that her husband was in the environment ministry, at the time when a secret film showing her beating an elephant to death, kept her from any punishment. No temple has ever had its elephants confiscated, even when it kills more than half of them. At the moment there is one elephant that has had its face beaten in by its mahout. She stands there suffering, with no one to rescue her. When I spoke to the Chief Wildlife Warden, his answer was that they had rescued one elephant some months ago and they could not keep doing this. This is the story of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu as well. There are 40 elephants in Karnataka and 40 in Tamilnadu in the temples. They live alone, tethered permanently outside the temple premises. Most of them suffer from tuberculosis. Why do these temples keep them? To earn money from tourist festivals and begging. No forest officers, or doctors, are trained in elephant management or elephant medicine. What is a common way of killing an elephant and claiming insurance? You make the elephant
What else we will lose walk on rusted nails. She gets gangrene and dies in agony, and you collect the money. Or, you wrap heavy iron chains round her and push her into the water to drown. Are temples the only culprits? Delhi had 23 elephants rented out daily, to advertise products to walk the streets with heavy wooden banners on their sides. They eat on the move – plucking the leaves of pipal trees. Of these, only 6 remain. The rest have been mowed down by vehicles. The six were ordered to be removed from Delhi 4 years ago. The Chief Wildlife Warden will not do so because the owners earn money and will do “anything” to stop the elephants from being moved. Two elephants were struck by a truck some years ago. One was killed outright. The other broke her legs and ribs. The owner abandoned her in the middle of the road and ran away. She was taken at private expense to an elephant sanctuary in Mathura and nursed back to health. As soon as she was well the owner claimed her back, even though he had no papers for ownership and should have been in jail. Circuses have been forbidden to keep elephants. But several of them still keep them, and they are dragged from district to district. Zoos have been banned from keeping elephants. 64 still remain in state zoos that refuse to surrender them. The single government rescue centre, made by Haryana twenty
years ago, lies empty, because the government will not allocate any money to keep a single suffering confiscated animal. Maharajas of Kuchnahipurand Talukdars, who own a little land, keep elephants and rent them out for weddings and elections. Recent investigations have found that the people who hold the elephants captive do so illegally- without a valid ownership certificate from the authorities, or any other documents as required by the law. A sample of 1,545 elephants, covering 13 different states and 6 different management regimes, has shown that only 44% of captive elephants have ownership certificates, and only 48% of those captive elephants have been implanted with microchips (Baskaran et al, 2011). This is corroborated by the findings of the Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI). I have not understood how any of these groups, or individuals, can keep elephants. When the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, was passed it clearly said that the elephants that were already owned could stay with their owners. But not a single new elephant could be added. But the elephants in custody now are all young. They were not even born in 1972. How can they be allowed to be kept? But for that we need to understand the fence eating the grass –the forest department. In this dark, dark scenario there are a few rays of light. The Sonpur mela

in Bihar has been banned from displaying elephants for sale. It was the main selling market in India. While it may have no effect on the illegal trade, now poachers, buyers and sellers will have to be even more secretive, instead of openly flouting the law. The second may go down in the history of elephant welfare, and also be the turning point for animals in India. The High Court of Uttarakhand, under his Lordship Justice Rajiv Sharma, has passed two landmark judgments that usher in a paradigm shift in the way we treat animals. The judgments have1. Conferred personhood on all non-human animals in the State of Uttarakhand; not just alleviating them from the status of being ‘property’ but also affording them rights. 2. Prohibited the commercial use of elephants in the State However, it is not just the elephants in captivity that ensure cruelty. Our elephants in the wild are not safe either. Shrinking habitats, in the garb of mindless development, are resulting in a constant conflict between man and animal. Reports of brutal attacks on elephant herds, that wander into human settlements, are on the rise. See the heart-breaking images of helpless calves being chased, with handmade fire-bombs. Illegally installed electric fences with enough voltage to kill the largest land mammal, and irresponsibly laid railway lines in forest areas and elephant corridors, are all contributing to diminishing their population. The railways do their own share of decimating them. In the last ten years more than 500 elephants have been killed, simply because the train would not slow down on seeing a herd crossing the
track. Nor do the railways listen to advice on how to handle the crossings –– developing underpasses, installation of animal detection systems, getting rid of steep embankments, continuous whistling and slowing down in recognized elephant corridors. This is a major crisis. 26,000 today, from 30,000 last year, means they will be gone in twenty years. The report Gaja, submitted by the Elephant Task Force constituted by the MOEF, has recommended that elephants be phased out of all commercial use, including logging. At least 20 rescue & rehabilitation centres must be established, and the elephants in private ownership must be re-homed on priority. Sustainable development plans must take into consideration the natural habitats, ensuring that we protect our elephant herds on the ground and not just on paper. There are 101 identified elephant corridors. None of them have been secured by the government. We have fragmented their habitat, and allowed illegal villages who deny them any right of way. We even had an Environment Minister who stated that elephants must be killed as revenge for every human that is hurt by them – even if the human is in the wrong. India prides itself on its compassion. In actual fact we show none to any beings, including our own species. The elephant is an example of our own viciousness and shortsightedness. When the elephant finally goes, we will lose over 100 varieties of trees and bushes whose seeds are spread by its dung. God knows what else we will lose – apart from our souls.

Post-mortem
Four Years of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (Clean India Mission)
W
orld Health Organization (WHO) estimated 3 lakhs live of the people of India would be saved from diarrhoeal deaths and over 1.4 crore ‘Disability Adjusted Life’ Years would also be avoided by 2019 with the massive implementation of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan or Swachh Bharat Mission. UNICEF report of 2017 estimated that each family in an ‘Open Defecation Free’ villages of India would save Rs.50,000 per year on account of avoidable medical costs, time savings and value of life saved. Swachh Bharat Mission is a unique and life saving mission to leverage better behavioral change of enhanced personal hygiene, cleanliness and sanitation of community, develop healthy environment free from various forms of pollution, save more income and lives. A million dollar question would be how far has SBA/ SBM impacted us? To what extent has it being sensitized and implemented? Has it been able to change our mindset and life style? The Swachh Bharat Abhiyan was launched on 2nd October 2014, the 154th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi at Rajghat, New Delhi by our Prime Minister Narindra Modi. It is a Nation-Wide Cleanliness Campaign having two submissions i.e. Swachh Bharat (Rural) operating under the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation and Swachh Bharat (Urban) operating under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs. Basically the purpose behind the campaign is to create awareness and sensitise the citizens to implement the practicable activities with action using locally available resources for provisions to
the intended citizens such as toilets, systems of solid and liquid waste management, cleanliness in cities, towns and villages, supply of safe and sufficient drinking water. Specifically it also envisaged to achieve Clean India and end Open Defecation Free (ODF) by 2019 to pay a befitting homage to the father of the nation on his 150th birth anniversary. Successful Activities of SBM Sanitation coverage as per NITI Aayog report mention dramatic increased in rural India from 38% in 2014 to over 92%, 4.5 lakh villages and over 450 districts have been declared Open Defecation Free (ODF) in 2018.This is a phenomenal achievement of SBM in its fourth anniversary.SBM has touched the length and breadth of India where significant works of cleanliness drive and activities have truly energized and captured the imagination of all. Many government schools and institutions in Nagaland have also participated for the forthnight program of Swachhta Pakhwada (Cleanliness and Sanitation) organized by the Department of School Education, Nagaland through direction by the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation(MDWS), the nodal ministry for Swachh Bharat and Swachhta Pakhwada from 1st to 15th September 2018 culminating with the launch of Swachhta Hi Seva (Cleanliness is Service) Campaign(from 15th to 2nd October 2018). Moreover, enormous materials for toilets have been provided and construction process in the form of Individual Household Latrines (IHLs),build traditional pond, community sanitary
complexes, drainage system, community rain water harvesting (RWH) and distribution of dust-bin to each households at villages under the Department of PHED, Nagaland. Furthermore, various churches and NGOs/CSOs as part of its yearly activities sanitize surroundings of villages and towns such as footsteps, drainage, well/pond, plantation of tress, places of public and historical importance etc. to some degree of success even much before the launch of SBM campaign .In addition, the call by the GoN to observe Swachhta Hi Seva from 29th September to 2nd October 2018 at the district level and sub-division level are breathtaking and noteworthy involving mass participation to get rid of filth and facelift our towns and cities for rebuilding Nagaland towards cleaner environment and fostering enviable civic sense. It is anticipated many districts, sub-divisions and villages in Nagaland would be declared ‘Open Defecation Free’ sooner than later with the ongoing rapid pace of the drastic ground work on cleanliness and sanitation programme. The mass campaign and implementation of SBM has been able to evoke a sense of hope, participation, responsibility, belongingness and pride amongst the denizens. Cleanliness and sanitation programme or activities are not new thing. Everyone is aware of the importance, purpose and benefit of it. Nonetheless, knowingly or unknowingly everyone fail in one way or the other to initiate, activate and imbibed it for daily habits and practices owing to considerable factors.SBM is a mammoth tasks but
not a herculean tasks. It is pragmatic and achievable once proper mechanisms are placed in the right perspective. Role of enlightened citizens and various NGOs are critical to make the vision and mission of SBM a reality for the common populace to harness the intended dividends. Convergence of departments can ease the burden of the tasks at hand.Technical and expert guidance can save more economy for provisons of safe diposal of waste, safe drinking water supply, rain water harvesting. State administrators along with town/village administrators can focus more on schools, community or public health centres, anganwadi centres and wards/colonies/ khels. Assigned responsibilities and participation of all stakeholders can create less room for mere implementation on activities and actions on Swachh Bharat Mission to thwart off half hearted dedication and performance, publicity stunt, photoshopping, half-baked implementation and indifferent attitude. More source of funds through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to the targeted households of towns and villages can aid citizens comfortably to avail and access better rain water harvesting, toilets and bathrooms.The magic wand lies upon each awakened and alerted citizens to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all by 2030 or before in line with aims of the Sustainable Deveopment Goals (SDGs) empowering us also towards greener and healthier Nagaland.

An introspection on cultural and political identity
A
ccording to sociological term, cultural identity can be said as an identity or feeling of belonging to a group. It refers to a person’s sense of belonging to a particular group. The process involves learning about and accepting traditions, heritage, language, religion, ancestry, aesthetics, thinking pattern and social structures of a culture. Our culture is our identity, like the identity card provides the fact about oneself. In the same way culture is a proof for one’s identity in society. In the past since the time immemorial, our ancestors had practised animism and believed in superstition. By Tracing back straight to the head hunting period, our great grandfathers had hunted down baskets of head. Perhaps, a person with more heads was counted as the warrior in those days, but they were heroes
in a sinful way. Yet, we should not criticize and call them idiots, cause that was during uncivilized age. On that page of life, the existence of God was way far away from Nagas. The factual thing was, people co- existed and lived a local life ;the remedy to every problem had been solved organically. Every Naga tribe have its own unique beliefs and norms based on the region. No doubt, Agriculture was the primary source for livelihood ,been cultivated manually. These Animists and barbarians carried on an aimless dreams -no motive towards civilization until the coming of Christianity through American Baptist Mission in 1842-1852.There was a paradigm shift with the growth of Christianity and Modernization came along.

Reader’s Post
Swachta should be a lifestyle and not mere programmes
Sir,
We have seen numerous cleanliness drives taken up the government agencies and NGOs, yet some areas and pockets in Dimapur continue to remain as dirty as ever. Also, it has been observed that due to lack of proper planning and basic civic sense, we find that slush and posh showrooms are placed side by side. Unfortunately, Nagaland also ranks amongst the dirtiest states in India. I believe business establishments also have the obligation to maintain their immediate surrounding and a fine can be levied if they do not keep their surroundings clean. John K, Notun Bati, Dimapur

CNG/LPG price hike assault on PNB fraud: ED attaches Nirav’s foreign assets budget of common man: Cong
New Delhi, Oct 1 (PTI): The Congress on Monday termed the hike in CNG/LPG prices an assault on the budget of the common man and said the Narendra Modi government has lost the moral right to govern. Congress leader Pawan Khera said the “mirage” of “achche din”, promised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the people of the country, has been shattered and they will give a befitting reply to the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government in the next general elections. He alleged the BJP was “pickpocketing” savings from the tax levied on fuel and gave the party a new full form “Bahut Jyada Price (BJP)”. Khera reiterated the Congress’s demand of bringing petrol and diesel under the Goods and Service Tax (GST). “The unpardonable rise in fuel prices caused by the ‘tax terror’ of the Modi government has burnt gaping holes in the pockets of common people. Only few months are left. People are counting the days of this anti-people government,” he said. “The mirage of ‘achhe din’ has been shattered beyond repair and people are fed up of this ‘fuel loot’. Yesterday’s assault on the budgets of common people is the final nail in the coffin of the government that has lost the moral right to govern,” he told reporters. The Congress and
Pawan Khera (file)
the people of India have lost all hopes. Still, we reiterate our demand that petrol and diesel prices be brought under the ambit of the GST, he said. Khera alleged cooking gas prices have increased by Rs 400 since the Modi government came to power and said the 10 per cent hike in natural gas prices will have a spiralling effect on the prices of CNG, PNG, urea, fertilizers and electricity. “Couple all this with the ever increasing prices of petrol and diesel, the decimation of budgets of common people is complete,” he said. Khera said the prime minister had said that the middle class should give up their cooking gas subsidies, so that the poor can benefit. “ U n f o r t u n a t e l y, this has turned out to the ‘biggest jumla’ on both the middle class and the poor.” He said the cost of 14.2 kg non-subsidised LPG was Rs 414 per cylinder in May 2014 and this has risen to Rs 831 per cylinder, a “whopping increase of Rs 399 per cylinder in 52 months of the
Modi government”. Similarly, he said, the price of subsidised gas cylinder has gone up from Rs 412 in May 2014 to Rs 502 per cylinder. “Why is the Modi government not rolling back the hike in prices? Why doesn’t it rollback the excise and custom duty to give relief of Rs 10-15 per litre?” he asked. The Congress leader claimed the Modi government gives a concession of Rs 1,600 on a LPG connection under the ‘Ujjwala scheme’ and “this cost is eventually also being paid by the beneficiary in instalments”. Khera alleged that while crude oil prices have reduced by 40 per cent, the “fuel robbery continues”. He said petrol prices in Delhi have increased by Rs 5.05 in the last 30 days, while diesel prices in the city have risen by Rs 4.67. In Mumbai, he said, petrol is selling at a backbreaking price of Rs 91.08 and diesel at Rs 79.72. In the last 30 days, petrol prices there have increased by Rs 4.99 and diesel prices by Rs 4.96. Since May 2014, the Modi gover nment has increased central excise duty 12 times - raising the tax on petrol by 211 per cent and on diesel by 443 per cent. Customs duty has been increased manifold. This has led to a Rs 12 lakh crore ‘fuel loot’ by “fleecing and duping” the common people, he alleged.
New Delhi, Oct 1 (IANS): The Enforcement Directorate (ED) said on Monday it has attached foreign properties of fugitive diamond jeweller Nirav Modi worth Rs 637 crore, including two apartments in New Yorks Central Park, even as the agency continued its investigation into the Punjab National Bank (PNB) fraud case. A senior ED official said the agency had been working in close coordination with other foreign agencies in order to identify and attach foreign properties of Nirav Modi in various locations. The attached properties were in the form of jewellery, bank accounts and immovable properties. Among them are two apartments worth Rs 216 crore in New York’s popular Central Park, which are registered in the name of Nirav Modi, he said.
According to the agency officials, they were purchased in the name of The Ithaca Trust. One of the properties in central park south, New York, was in the name of Central Park Real Estate LLC, a group company of Firestar Group. In 2018, it was transferred to the Trust. The beneficiary of the Ithaca Trust allegedly is Nirav Modi’s wife, Ami Modi, a US national, and her children and the settler of the said trust was Nirav Modi’s sister Purvi Modi, a Belgian national. “The other property was also purchased in the name of The Ithaca Trust in 2017. And before paying the consideration for the property, the stolen fund was layered extensively involving multiple jurisdictions like Dubai, Bahamas, USA, Singapore etc.,” the official said. “The consideration was
Nirav Modi (file)
paid from a fiduciary account of Commonwealth Trust Company, Singapore and the deal was carried out by a lawyer firm based in US,” the official said. Meanwhile, a flat worth Rs 56.97 crore on Marylebone road in London has also been attached, of which the beneficial owner is Nirav Modi’s sister Purvi. According to the ED official, the property was bought in the name of the
Belvedere Holdings Group Limited which was managed by Trident Trust in Singapore, and established by Monte Cristo Trust. “The said trust is having Purvi Modi as settler and beneficiary,” he said. The agency also attached five bank accounts containing over Rs 278 crore, belonging to Nirav Modi, Purvi and others in the case. The official said that it had brought diamond jewellery worth Rs 22.69 crore back to India from Hong Kong. According to the ED, a stock of jewellery was exported to Hong Kong after a case was registered against Nirav Modi by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in January. This was kept in a vault of a private company in Hong Kong on behalf of Nirav Modi. Interpol has issued a Red Corner Notice against Nirav Modi,
Neeshal, Purvi and his executive Subhash Parab. On Monday, Interpol, at the request of the CBI and ED, issued a Red Corner Notice against Nirav Modi’s trusted official, Aditya Nanavati. Nanavati used to head the operations of Firestar Diamond’s business in Hong Kong. It is learnt that he is also in Belgium. The official also said that Letters of Rogatory (LR) have also been sent to the authorities of foreign jurisdictions to enforce the said provisional attachment orders. Nirav Modi and his uncle Mehul Choksi of Gitanjali Group are under probe by both the CBI and ED. The ED had on May 24 and 26 filed charge-sheets against both. Non-bailable warrants have been issued against them. Nirav Modi left India before the scam was reported to the CBI.
Coast Guard launching drive HC tells DU to allow inspection to discourage plastic use of answer-sheets under RTI
New Delhi, Oct 1 (IANS): The Indian Coast Guard (ICG) is launching a campaign for voluntary discarding of the use of plastic in all the ICG premises from October 2, an official release said on Monday. In order to lead by example and in support of the government policy “Swachhata Hi Seva” movement, the Coast Guard headquarters, New Delhi has issued direction to all its units across the country for encouraging ICG personnel for voluntarily discarding of plastic. During the campaign, the ICG will conduct seminar/ lectures, make available envi-
ronment-friendly bags and spread awareness amongst the masses through posters/ banners/ placards. Coast Guard Wives Welfare Association, a voluntary ICG organisation, shoulders the responsibility in taking the lead for spreading the campaign amongst ladies and children of the society through frequent interactions. “The ICG will carry this campaign to the coastal populace through various platforms such as community interaction programme, meetings with fisheries associations/ community heads, etc,” the release said.
New Delhi, Oct 1 (IANS): In what could be a big relief to students seeking inspection of their answer-sheets through RTI, the Delhi High Court has ordered the Delhi University to allow the inspection of answer-sheet to a former student under RTI by refusing to stay the CIC order against which the varsity had approached the court. The high court in an order issued on September 24 refused to grant the stay asked for by the university against a Central Information Commission (CIC) order, according to which
it was to allow the inspection of the answer-sheet to a student who had sought it under an RTI provision. The order, in effect, paves the way for a number of such students who may have chosen the RTI route for checking their copies instead of paying a fee to the university. “It is clarified that this court has not stayed the impugned order dated June 18, 2018 (the CIC order) and inspection of the evaluated answer-sheet shall be provided... as directed. “The question whether a student has any right to seek inspection of his/her
answer-sheets will be considered on the next date,” the court said in its order. A former law student of the university had sought the inspection of his answer-sheets through an RTI in 2016, but the matter dragged on for two years, forcing him to approach the intervention of the CIC. The CIC adjudicated in favour of the student, ordering the Delhi University to allow him the inspection of his answer copy -- as prescribed under Section 2(j) of the Right to Information Act -- in “larger public interest” .
Modi removed ‘termite of corruption’: Naqvi Alwar, Oct 1 (PTI): Union minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said Monday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi overcame the challenge posed by the “termite of corruption” and “stains of failure” left behind the earlier regime, to ensure development of all sections of the society. Naqvi made the remarks after laying the foundation stone of the first world-class educational institute for the poor, backward and minorities in Kohrapipli village in Alwar district of Rajasthan.

Punjab demands national drugs policy Chandigarh, Oct 1 (IANS): Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Monday called for a national drug policy to save the young generation. Pointing out that a comprehensive formula was needed at the Central level to effectively check drug abuse, Amarinder said the issue had taken centre-stage due to the growing demand for opium cultivation by certain states. “States like MP and Rajasthan were growing opium, for which they were finding a lucrative market in Punjab,” Amarinder pointed out. The Chief Minister, in a statement here, said that he had taken it up with the Central government. The national policy could also address the need for cultivation of drugs needed for the pharmaceutical industry, the Centre should involve states and experts while formulating such a policy, Amarinder said.

said at the event, according to a statement released by his office. The prime minister has worked with commitment to “inclusive growth” without any discrimination and he did not allow vote bank politics to dominate “our determination for development”, Naqvi said. He said that it was a tough challenge to remove the “termite of corruption” and the “stains of failure”, received as “legacy” from the earlier regime at the Centre, but Prime Minister Modi was successful in fulfilling his commitment to development of all sections.
Naqvi said the educational institute in Alwar will prove to be a milestone in the direction of affordable, accessible and quality education for the the weaker sections of the society, including minorities. The Rajasthan government has given 15 acres of land in Kohrapipali village for the educational institute, he said. World class skill development centre, educational facilities for primary and higher studies, Ayurveda and Unani science as well as sports facilities, will be established at the institute, he said. “We have proposed 40 per cent reservation for girls in this institution,” the minister said. Naqvi also laid the foundation stone and inaugurated various other development works. A three-member committee of the ministry’s officials and members of the Maulana Azad Education Foundation has been
constituted to chalk out the details of the institute in Alwar. The detailed project report will be prepared regarding construction and other aspects of the institute that will be established through Public Private Partnership (PPP) model, the statement said. The Modi government’s “empowerment without appeasement” policy in the past four years has ensured that a record three crore students belonging to the weaker sections of minorities benefit from various scholarship programmes, Naqvi said, adding that they included about 1 crore 63 lakh girls. Naqvi also said that school dropout rate among Muslim girls, which was earlier more than 70 per cent, has been reduced to about 35-40 per cent due to awareness and educational empowerment programmes of the government.
Pawar clarifies on his Rafale deal remark Beed (Maha), Oct 1 (PTI): Under flak for allegedly ‘defending’ Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the controversial Rafale jet (rpt jet) deal, NCP chief Sharad Pawar Monday rejected the charge, saying he would “never” do that. Pawar had caused a flutter with his remarks that he didn’t think that people have doubts about Modi’s intentions in the purchase of fighter jets from France. Objecting to Pawar’s remark, NCP founder member Tariq Anwar and general secretary Munaf Hakim had quit the party last week. The statement had come at a time when the Congress has launched a pointed attack on the prime minister over the deal and is trying to forge an alliance with the NCP for future polls. “Some people have
Sharad Pawar
criticised me saying I supported him (Modi). I have not supported him. I did not (support Modi) and will never (do that),” Pawar said while addressing a party meeting here in the Marathwada region. He said, “They (the government) bought the aircraft. I am saying this clearly that the government should explain it to Parliament why the cost of the aircraft rose from Rs 650 crore (per plane) to Rs 1600 crore”. Pawar’s recent comments which was inferred
as defence of Modi was welcomed by the BJP and party president Amit Shah had thanked Pawar for the same. However, the NCP had claimed that Pawar was quoted out of context by the media. The NCP chief Monday reiterated the demand for a probe by a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) into the Rafale deal and demanded the government share details of the prices of the 36 fighter jets. The former Defence Minister also said that there was no need to make public the technical details relating to the aircraft. Pawar, who served as Agriculture Minister under the erstwhile Manmohan Singh government, also hit out at the Central and Maharashtra governments over agrarian issues. K Y M C

SBI halves daily ATM cash withdrawal limit to Rs 20K
New Delhi, Oct 1 (Agencies): In an attempt to address the growing incidence of ATM frauds and boost digital transactions, the country’s largest lender has just halved its daily ATM withdrawal limit. The State Bank of India has lowered the limit on its Classic Debit Card to Rs 20,000 a day, from Rs 40,000 previously, a report in the Economic Times said. The lower limit will be effective from October 31 and will impact many SBI customers since these cards constitute a sizeable chunk of the bank’s card portfolio. “In view of the increase in the number of complaints received by banks around fraudulent transactions at ATMs and to encourage digital and cashless transactions, it has been decided to decrease the cash withdrawal limits of debit cards issued or being issued on ‘Classic’ and ‘Maestro’ platforms,” said a bank communique sent out to its offices. SBI has also directed all its branches to display the message on notice boards.
The latest RBI annual report reveals that the currency in circulation (CiC) stood at Rs 19.38 lakh crore as of August 17, 2018, which is higher than the pre-demonetisation levels. Consequently, India’s currency to GDP ratio is once again among the highest in the world, compared to peer emerging market economies as well as advanced economies. Moreover, household savings held in the form of currency are at the highest level since 2011. Although this restriction on cash withdrawals will come into effect just ahead of Diwali, the bank does not foresee any inconvenience to customers. “Our internal analysis shows most actual withdrawals are of smaller amounts. So, Rs 20,000 should be adequate for most customers. We are trying to see whether smaller withdrawals could minimise frauds,” SBI Managing Director PK Gupta told the daily. He added that customers with a requirement for higher ATM withdrawals can switch to card vari-
ants offering the same. For instance, the SBI Platinum International Debit Card allows ATM withdrawals of up to Rs 1 lakh daily while the Gold debit card allows Rs 50,000 per day. Such cards are issued to those maintaining a higher minimum balance in their bank accounts. Experts say that debit card users are most gullible when it comes to card frauds, and the risk is not limited to ATMs. Even retail point of sale terminals and mobile card swipe devices can fall prey to skimmers. Moreover, many debit cards still follow the magnetic stripe technology, which is more prone to frauds than the newer chip-based cards. The development comes a day after the police yesterday arrested two more Romanian nationals involved in an ATM skimming racket. In fact, industry insiders peg the loss from skimming - where devices are planted in ATMs to surreptitiously read card data, which is then cloned to swindle money - at over $2 billion a year.

GST mop-up rises to Rs Natural Leaf Salon opened in Dimapur 94,442 cr in September
New Delhi, Oct 1 (PTI): GST collections rose marginally to Rs 94,442 crore in September 2018 from Rs 93,960 crore in August and are expected to increase further in the coming months on account of higher sales in the festival season. The Finance Ministry in a statement Monday said 67 lakh businesses filed Goods and Services Tax (GST) returns in September and deposited Rs 94,442 crore as taxes. Of this, Central GST (CGST) collection is Rs 15,318 crore, State GST (SGST) is Rs 21,061 crore, Integrated GST (IGST) is Rs 50,070 crore (including Rs 25,308 crore collected on imports) and cess is Rs 7,993 crore (including Rs 769 crore collected on imports), the ministry said. “The total revenue earned by the central government and the state governments after settlement in September 2018 is Rs 30,574 crore for CGST and Rs 35,015 crore for SGST,” it added. The September revenue collections reflect the purchase and sales activities conducted in the month of August. Tax experts said his-
torically in July and August indirect tax collections remain subdued and pick up with the onset of the festive season post Ganesh Chaturthi. Effective July 27, the GST Council cut rates on 88 items, including sanitary napkins, fridge, small screen TV, washing machine, footwear, among others. Only 35 items were left in the highest tax bracket of 28 per cent after the rate cut. The Finance Ministry has targeted monthly GST collections of Rs 1 lakh crore for this fiscal, but the actual number has fallen short of the target month after month. The collections stood at Rs 94,016 crore in May, Rs 95,610 crore in June, Rs 96,483 crore in July and Rs 93,960 crore in August. EY Tax Partner Abhishek Jain said, “An increase in GST collections despite rate cuts on various products brings a gleam for the future trend expectations as well. The possible reason for this could be the various anti-evasion measures implemented by the government and the related impact of this entailing businesses to refrain from any tax evasion activities”.

The Revolutionar y Guards did not say where in western Iran the six missiles were launched, but revealed that they travelled a distance of 570km (354 miles). Iran’s Fars news agency reported that they were Zolfaghar and Qiyam missiles, and that on at least one of them was written “death to America”, “death to Israel” and “death to Al Saud”, a reference to Saudi Arabia’s
ruling family. Drones also bombarded IS positions after the strike, according to the statement. Iran has sent troops to Syria to support the government in the country’s civil war. It has also armed thousands of militiamen fighting alongside the Syrian army.

Quake-hit Indonesia buries dead
Indonesian police carry the body of a tsunami victim during a mass burial in Palu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, Monday. (AP)
Palu (Indonesia), Oct 1 (PTI): Indonesian volunteers began burying bodies in a vast mass grave on Monday, victims of a quake-tsunami that devastated swathes of Sulawesi, as the UN warned that some 191,000 people were in urgent need of humanitarian assistance. Indonesia is no stranger to natural calamities and Jakarta had been keen to show it could deal with a catastrophe that has killed at least 844 people, according to the latest official count, and displaced some 59,000 more. But four days on some remote areas are only now being contacted, medicines are running out and rescuers are struggling with a shortage of heavy equipment as they try to reach desperate victims calling out from the
ruins of collapsed buildings. In response, President Joko Widodo opened the door to the dozens of international aid agencies and NGOs who are lined up to provide life-saving assistance. Officials fear the toll will rise steeply in the coming days and are preparing for the worst, declaring a 14day state of emergency. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs warned that there were some 46,000 children and 14,000 elderly Indonesians among those in dire need -- many in areas that aren’t the focus of government recovery efforts. At Poboya -- in the hills above the devastated seaside city of Palu -- volunteers began to fill a vast grave with

witnesses”, to convict the defendant of one of the two counts of rape with which he had been charged. “The defendant is found guilty of rape committed during the night between the October 5 and October 6, 2011,” the court said while announcing its verdict. It added that the victim had also been “awarded compensation for damages” and ordered Arnault to pay about $12,000.
The victim’s lawyer, Elisabeth Massi Fritz, said her client was “relieved” following the verdict. A total of 18 women accused Arnault of a range of sexual misconduct between 1996 and 2017. Most of the cases occurred too long ago to be prosecuted, but in June, charges were filed against him relating to two separate incidents involving the same woman in October 2011.

Authorities are desperate to stave off any disease outbreak caused by decomposing bodies, some now are riddled with maggots. Three trucks arrived stacked with corpses wrapped in orange, yellow and black bags, an AFP reporter on the scene saw. Oneby-one they were dragged into the grave as excavators poured soil on top. In Balaroa, a Palu suburb once home to a housing complex, the scale of the damage was obvious. A wasteland of flattened trees, shards of concrete, twisted metal roofing, door frames and mangled furniture stretched out into the distance. Dazed groups of people ambled over the wreckage, unclear where or how to start digging. Among them were three men looking for their younger brother. Rescuers are racing against the clock and a lack of equipment to save those still trapped in the rubble, with up to 60 people feared to be underneath one Palu hotel alone. Two survivors have been plucked from the 80-room Hotel Roa-Roa, Indonesia’s search and rescue agency said, and there could still be more alive. Desperate survivors turned to looting shops for basics like food, water and fuel as police looked on, unwilling or unable to intervene.
Stockholm, Oct 1 (IANS): A French photographer at the centre of a sexual abuse and financial misconduct scandal that led to the postponement of 2018 Nobel Prize in Literature was on Monday sentenced to two years in prison for rape. A Swedish court found Jean-Claude Arnault, 72, guilty on one count of rape against a woman in 2011 and dismissed another count of rape in the same year against the same woman, the Guardian reported. Arnault is married to Katarina Frostenson, a poet and a former member of the centuries-old Swedish Academy, which awards the world’s most prestigious literary prize. The crisis forced the institution to cancel this year’s award. The verdict came at the start of Nobel prize week, shortly before the award for medicine was announced.

Washington, Oct 1 (IANS): US Defence Secretary James Mattis has cancelled a planned visit to China in October in a latest sign of deteriorating ties between Washington and Beijing, the media reported. According to a US government official, Mattis had originally planned to visit the Chinese capital to meet senior Chinese officials to discuss security issues, CNN reported on Monday. The last-minute cancellation was publicly confirmed by the Pentagon. The decision to pull out of the trip came amid growing tensions between the US and China across multiple fronts, from the Trump administration’s tariffs on Chinese goods to new sanctions announced against the Chinese military. At a press conference last week, US President Donald Trump said that his “friendship” with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping may have come to an end. “He may not be a friend of mine anymore. But I think he probably respects me,” Trump said. The Trump administrations imposed 10 per cent of tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese goods in September, in addition to the trade measures already in place. The Chinese government responded in kind, with between 5 per cent to 10 per cent tariffs on $60 billion of US goods. Following the new round of tariffs, Beijing called off planned trade talks with Washington, leaving no end in sight for the ongoing trade war. The Chinese government had also cancelled a port visit to Hong Kong by the USS Wasp, a US Navy amphibious assault ship, last week. This move came after the US government decided to sanction Chinese military figures over their purchases of Russian combat aircraft and missile systems.

In addition to causing casualties among the militants, the strikes also reportedly destroyed infrastructure and ammunition stockpiles. “Our iron fist is prepared to deliver a decisive and crushing response to any wickedness and mis-
violent explosions at dawn in a pocket of territory controlled by IS on the eastern banks of the Euphrates north of Albu Kamal. The UK-based monitoring group said it believed missiles had hit the headquarters of IS in the Hajin area, and that there was no information about casualties. A US-backed alliance of Syrian Kurdish and Arab militias began a ground offensive to capture the Hajin pocket three weeks ago. The US military estimated that there were between 1,500 and 2,000 militants in the area. It remains unclear who was behind the Ahvaz attack, which saw four gunmen wearing military uniforms open fire at troops, bystanders and officials during an event marking the 38th anniversary of the start of the Iran-Iraq war. The al-Ahwaz National Resistance, an umbrella movement for Arab separatist groups fighting for independence for Khuzestan province, issued a claim and gave details about one of the attackers.

London, Oct 1 (Agencies): Iran’s Revolutionary Guards say they have fired missiles at eastern Syria targeting the ringleaders of the deadly attack on a military parade in Ahvaz. A statement said “many terrorists” were killed or injured in the strikes, BBC reported. Iranian state television suggested that the missiles hit an area close to the border town of Albu Kamal where Islamic State militants are known to operate. IS and ethnic Arab separatists from Ahvaz both claimed the September 22 parade attack, in which 25 people died. The Iranian government has alleged that the assailants were jihadist separatists supported by Gulf Arab allies of the United States. US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis has dismissed the allegation as “ludicrous”. The Revolutionar y Guards announced that its aerospace forces’ missile unit had “targeted a base of the ringleaders of Ahvaz

29 September 2018 To His Excellency, Gen (Retd) Kholi, Vice President, Government of the People’s Republic of Nagalim (GPRN). Sub : Petition for immediate action as assured by you on 02 June 2018 for review of the verdict Memo No. V-PO/GPRN/ CASES/2018/ 2018/-4 dated 03rd May 2018. Ref : Notice served by the Makri GB & Party of Viswema Village (not GB of 7th Mile Model Village), dated 15 September 2018 including Newspaper Adv dated 15 September 2018, Nagaland Post, Page – 4 to the settlers either to vacate or re-purchase the plots. Your Excellency, We plead to put forth our grievances for your kind perusal which requires your immediate attention. 1. That, we are aggrieved by the verdict Memo No. V-PO/GPRN/CASES/2018/ 2018/-4 dated 03rd May 2018 which directly affected our survival. We were made to understand that Your Excellency had given assurance to the 7th Mile Model Village delegation for review of the verdict when they met you in person on 02nd June 2018 at the presence of Most Hon’ble, Th. Muivah, Ato Kilonser, GPRN and other members of the collective Leadership. 2. Whereas, the case was already contested in the Honourable Court of National Tribunal, Government of People’s Republic of Nagalim (GPRN) in 2005 and was decreed in favour of Mr. Alhou Angami, GB, S/O Late Mr. Lhouzekuo Angami vide Judgement Order No. NT/GPRN/J-ORD/117/05 Dated 1st July 2005, and after the demise of Mr. Alhou Angami, GB, the case was re-contested in the Hourable Court of the National Judiciary Board, GPRN. After spot enquiry and findings, the judgement was given in favour of Mr. Bazha Angami, GB S/O Late Mr. Alhou Angami in 2014 vide Judgement and Order No. Memo 02-24/VRDT/NJB/2013 Dated 16th January 2014. 3. Whereas, the issue dates back to 1951, which is about 67 years now and settlements had taken place and we had been living without any interruption for many years. The suit land is no more a thick jungle as it was in 1951 but a major part of an established and recognized village. Our settlement history is well known by the neigbouring villages especially the early settlers of Chumoukedima village. The prominent public leaders of Chumoukedima had also issued a statement in this regard in 1982 including witness statement from senior citizens of Chumoukedima area such as Mr Vilhoukie Hama, Head GB, Mr Viselie Shuya, the longest serving chairman of Chumoukedima Village, Rev Keso Shuya of Chumoukedima town etc. 4. That, the Makri GB & Party of Viswema Village (not GB of 7th Mile Model Village) are outsiders and none of them have settled in our village since the inception of the village during 1948 – 1951. None of their names are also in the electoral role. 5. That, the Makri GB & Party of Viswema Village (not GB of 7th Mile Model Village) had taken the matter in their own hands while it is still sub-judice in your court and had served a 15 days notice dated 15 September 2018 to the settlers either to vacate or re-purchase the plots in execution of the Verdict Memo NO.VPO/GPRN/CASES/2018/-4 Dated 03rd May 2018. 6. That, confrontation will take place anytime after 30 September 2018 if provoked again as we are not in a position to either vacate our land/houses or re-purchase the plots that we live in now. We deserve an opportunity to be heard by the rightful authority so also protection of lives and properties as the verdict had created an emergency situation. We should not be held responsible for any unwanted incident while defending our properties and the lives of our loved ones. Your immediate action on the case as assured by you will facilitate all to resolve the issue peacefully. Thanking you. Enclosures : 1.

Justice Gogoi hails outgoing CJI
Outgoing Chief Justice of India Justice Dipak Misra (R) shakes hands with CJI-designate Justice Ranjan Gogoi. (PTI)
NEW DELHI, OCT 1 (AGENCIES): Chief Justice-designate Justice Ranjan Gogoi on Monday hailed outgoing Chief Justice of India (CJI) Dipak Misra, highlighting his work in civil liberties cases as his greatest contribution to the Indian legal system. Addressing a gathering at CJI Misra’s farewell event, Gogoi said, “As a judge, his greatest contribution to the Indian jurisprudence has been on issues of constitutional significance, particularly with regard to civil liberties. I am sure that generations of academics, advocates and judges, will continue to engage with his scholarship long after he’s gone. It is for this reason that I did not say farewell to Justice Misra today, but choose instead to celebrate the vision expressed in his judicial opinions.” Justice Gogoi stated that it is one thing to re-
solve legal disputes, where answers are dictated by the statutory text, and it is much more challenging to resolve cases where there are no given answers. “In his years in the Supreme Court, Justice Misra has dealt with several cases that fall in the second category. In cases like Tehseen Poonawala and Shakti Vahini, Justice Misra has spoken against social evils like mob lynching and honour killings and denounced extra-legal attempts at dispensing justice,” the Chief Justice-designate said. Justice Gogoi, who will be sworn-in as the Chief Justice of India on Wednesday, said Justice Misra was a remarkable judge. In his farewell speech, outgoing Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra said he would go as “wholly satisfied and contented” person. Earlier, he presided over the bench comprising
incumbent CJI Ranjan Gogoi and Justice A M Khanwilkar on Monday as it was his last working day. He spoke after Chief Justice of India-Designate, Justice Ranjan Gogoi, praised him saying that his greatest contribution has been to civil liberties and cited his recent verdicts in this regard. CJI Misra, whose 13 months tenure as the head of judiciary was marked by the unprecedented controversy of four senior-most judges, said our judiciary is the strongest as our judges are far ahead in deciding mind-boggling number of cases. He said the young lawyers have the potential to develop new jurisprudence. He said if ever, he were to write his autobiography, it would be titled as ‘No Rhetoric’. CJI Misra said, “Justice must have a human face. History can be sometimes kind, and unkind. I don’t judge people by their history but by their activities and perspective.” “In my whole career as a judge, I never dissociated myself from the lady of equity,” he said. During his tenure, CJI Misra made a number of ground-breaking judgments, like the decriminalization of homosexuality, the validity of Aadhar, SC/ST reservation in job promotions, etc.
Measles rubella vaccine safe, asserts principal director DIMAPUR, OCT 1 (NPN): In view of rumours being spread from various platforms to create doubts in the minds of people of the State about the Measles Rubella Vaccination Campaign (MRVC), health & family welfare principal director Dr Vikeyie Losu asserted that the vaccine was safe and there was no “hidden agenda” in the government’s campaign. The principal director, in a press release issued on Monday, also appealed to everyone to dispel fears and come forward to vaccinate their child and give them “double protection with just one dose.” He urged everyone to join hands and support the campaign to ensure a “healthier Nagaland – Nagaland free of measles and rubella diseases.” Losu explained that the health & family welfare department would be embarking on a very special vaccination campaign from October 3 for eliminating measles and control rubella. He said the campaign had started in India in 2017 from the southern States and “now it is our turn”. He added that North-eastern States like Mizoram, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh had all completed the campaign successfully. Admitting that a campaign of this magnitude was not easy, the principal director said the health & family welfare department had been preparing for this since the last four months.

He said the department was working very closely with education, social welfare, IPR and other line departments, besides civil society organisations, UN agencies (WHO, UNICEF, UNDP) and faith-based bodies. On behalf of the department, he extended his gratitude to each of them for continuous support. According to Losu, while measles led to deaths, rubella was known to result in abortions, still births and birth defects. He pointed out that every year many children died due to measles and vaccine-preventable diseases. Asserting that the success of MR campaign would ensure that the viruses did not get a chance to affect or kill children, the principal director mentioned that the vaccine was an additional dose and that all children between nine months and 15 years were eligible to take the vaccine. He reminded everyone that small pox had been eradicated from the world and polio too was about to be eradicated, thanks to the mass vaccination campaigns. Losu further stated that the MR vaccine had already been in use for the last 46 years in private sector as MMR. And now, the government planned to reach out to all children with this costly vaccine free of cost through the MR campaign, he added. He claimed that 12 crore children had already received MR vaccine in the country under this campaign.

State ranks 3rd among NE States in HIV
(From p-1) In his brief address, NLFA convener Dr Vinito Chishi observed that though much awareness was being spread about measles and rubella, HIV/AIDS was not talked about much. Advising students to lead a “healthy life” and remain safe from HIV/AIDS, he lamented that even a child born with HIV/AIDS was abandoned by its parents, which was unfortunate. Speaking on youth and HIV/AIDS, Hukatoli Chophy spoke on choice of life and asserted that HIV/AIDS was determined by the “kind of life a person chose to live and not cursed.” He encouraged the students to be responsible to themselves, to people around them and asked them to seize the good opportunities that came along. He also reminded them to adhere to “good life principles” that would ultimately lead them to a healthy life. Earlier, KCK associate professor Moanungla Kevichusa welcomed the gathering. Attended by KCK staff and students, the sensitisation programme was followed by a voluntary blood donation camp.

Nevertheless, MIP said ‘lt. gen.’ (rtd) Khango Konyak led NSCN shall never be bogged down by the usurpers, but shall continue to lead the NSCN/GPRN and the Nagas by honouring the sacrifices of thousands of precious Naga’s lives and shall uphold the historical and political rights of the Nagas under any circumstances. “If necessary every minute details of the Myanmar NCA group secret treacherous deal with Myanmar Juntas at Nyapidaw shall be exposed before the Nagas and the world,” it said.

China wants to deepen cooperation with Maldives: Xi Beijing, Oct 1 (IANS): China wants to continue building its friendship and deepen cooperation with the Maldives, President Xi Jinping has said in his congratulatory note to the country’s newly elected President Ibrahim Solih, who ousted pro-Beijing Abdulla Yameen in general election. Solih, who was sent the message by Xi on Sunday as reported by the staterun Xinhua news agency, is the leader of the Maldivian Democratic Party that has been critical of the Chinese projects and deals signed under Yameen who was said to have drifted from traditional ally India to China. “China is willing to work with the Maldives to continue to cement their friendship and deepen mutually beneficial cooperation in various fields to better benefit the people of both countries,” Xi said in his message. He said he highly values the development of China-Maldives relations and was willing to join hands with Solih to lift the comprehensive friendly cooperative partnership between the two countries to a new level. The election of Solih is bound to worry China as his party had raised objections to the Free Trade Agreement signed between Yameen and Beijing.
Stockholm, Oct 1 (Agencies): The Nobel Prize in medicine was awarded Monday to two researchers from the United States and Japan for advances in discovering how the body’s immune system can fight off the scourge of cancer, AP reported. The 9-million-kronor ($1.01 million) prize will be shared by James Allison of the University of Texas and Tasuku Honjo of Kyoto University. Their parallel work concerned proteins that act as brakes on the body’s immune system and it constitutes “a landmark in our fight against cancer,” said a statement from the Nobel Assembly of Sweden’s Karolinska Institute, which selects winners of the an-
nual prestigious award. Allison studied a known protein and developed the concept into a new treatment approach, while Honjo discovered a new protein that also operated as a brake on immune cells. “I’m honored and humbled to receive this prestigious recognition,” Allison said in a statement released by the university’s MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, where he is a professor. “A driving motivation for scientists is simply to push the frontiers of knowledge. I didn’t set out to study cancer, but to understand the biology of T cells, these incredible cells that travel our bodies and work to protect us,” he said.
US, Philippines, Japan begin military exercises
Koreas start removing border landmines
Manila, Oct 1 (IANS): The armed forces of the US and the Philippines along with Japan opened the “Kamandag 2” military exercises on Monday. The exercises kicked off at Subic Bay that rests on the west coast of the Philippines’ Luzon island in the heavily contested South China Sea. It was once the site of a major US naval base, Efe news reported. Taking place across the island of Luzon till October 10, the second edition of the military exchanges will focus on counter-terrorism alongside humanitarian assistance and disaster relief capabilities. The participants will also practise “an amphibious landing, live fire training, close air support, jungle survival training, urban operations training, and combat lifesaving”, according to a statement by the US Embassy in the Philippines.
Allison’s and Honjo’s prize-winning work started in the 1990s and was part of significant advances in cancer immunotherapy. “In some patients, this therapy is remarkably effective,” Jeremy Berg, editorin-chief of the Science family of journals, told The Associated Press. “The number of different types of cancers for which this approach to immunotherapy is being found to be effective in at least some patients continues to grow.” Therapy developed from Honjo’s work led to long-term remission in patients with metastatic cancer that had been considered essentially untreatable, the Nobel Assembly said.
The border area between North and South Korea is heavily mined and fortified with barbed wire.
London, Oct 1 (Agencies): Troops from North and South Korea have started removing some of the more than 800,000 landmines buried along their border, officials say. According to BBC report, in the South, clearing has started at the heavily fortified Joint Security Area (JSA) in the village of Panmunjom. Mines will also be removed from a separate site where hundreds of soldiers were killed in the Korean war. The move was agreed when the leaders of the two Koreas, Kim Jong-un and Moon Jae-in, met last
month in Pyongyang. All landmines in the JSA, which is the only portion of the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) where forces stand face-to-face, are expected to be removed by military personnel within the next 20 days, South Korea’s defence ministry said in a statement on Monday. When the work is completed, guard posts and weapons will also be removed, leaving unarmed troops stationed in the area as part of measures to manage tensions along the border, the statement added.

FB faces $1.63 bn in EU fine over fresh data breach
Washington, Oct 1 (IANS): Embroiled in another massive data breach, Facebook may face $1.63 billion in fine from the European Union (EU) privacy watchdog, the media reported. According to a report in The Wall Street Journal on Sunday, Ireland’s Data Protection Commission which
said it had stopped broadcasting propaganda via loudspeakers along the border to “ease the military tension between the two Koreas”. It has now started taking down the loudspeakers. The DMZ is a strip of land 250km (155 miles) long and 4km (2.5 miles) wide that runs across the Korean Peninsula It is currently heavily mined and fortified with barbed wire, rows of surveillance cameras and electric fencing. Swathes of bare land are littered with large rocks and anti-personnel landmines. It is also closely guarded by tens of thousands of troops on both sides, making it almost impossible to walk across. In November last year, a North Korean soldier was shot and injured by his own military as he crossed to the South Korean side of the JSA in Panmunjom. According to South Korean officials, the number of North Korean defectors to the South has fallen since Mr Kim came to power seven years ago.
Heat waves, wildfires signal global warming: UN
Incheon (South Korea), Oct 1 (IANS): Scientists have been warning for years that the world can expect more extreme weather with climate change and that heat waves, wildfires and heavy rainfall all over the world underscore these warnings, a UN official said on Monday. I n t e r g ove r n m e n t a l Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) chief Hoesung Lee made these opening remarks at its 48th session that began in this South Korean town. The IPCC representatives from 195 countries and leading scientists from around the world are meeting to examine evidence about the impacts of global warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. “Science alerts us to the gravity of the situation, but science also, and this special report in particular, helps us understand the solutions available to us. The South Korean climate change expert was referring to a report, Global Warming of 1.5 AoC, a
major scientific undertaking on the latest climate change research that will speak on the impacts of global warming of 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways. The much-awaited final report will be made public after weeklong deliberation here on October 8. The report will show that 1.5 degrees will limit sea level rise and save homes of millions of people living on the coast. The IPCC is the UN body for assessing the science related to climate change. The report will analyse the context of strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty. Governments invited the IPCC to prepare the report in 2015 when they adopted the Paris Agreement to combat climate change. The report, known as SR15, will be the main scientific input at the Talanoa Dialogue in the Katowice Climate Change Conference
(COP24) in December in Poland. “Governments have asked the IPCC for an assessment of warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius, its impacts and related emissions pathways, to help them address climate change,” Lee said. “Together, we will produce a strong, robust and clear Summary for Policymakers that respond to the invitation of governments three years ago while upholding the scientific integrity of the IPCC,” he said. The Paris Agreement sets a long-term goal of holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit it to 1.5 degrees. World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Deputy Secretary General Elena Manaenkova told the meeting: “It is no surprise that this year is set to become one of warmest on record and we are seeing new records in long-term climate change indicators”. “The greatest tragedy

to those immediately affected is the extreme weather ranging from record heat in northern Europe to devastating floods in Japan, India, southeast Asia and the southeastern United States.” “As far as WMO is concerned we need to step up action to help our members in assisting with climate resilient development,” she added. United Nations Environment head Erik Solheim cautioned against imminent climate threats. “Hugely important report on climate change coming: message again is clear, immediate and decisive action needed. There are no excuses!” he said in a tweet. The IPCC was established by the UN Environment Programme and the World Meteorological Organization in 1988 to provide policymakers with regular scientific assessments concerning climate change, its implications and potential future risks, as well as to put forward adaptation and mitigation strategies.

Television personality Sharon Osbourne has been ousted as a judge of “X Factor” after she passed derogatory remarks on performers at the reality TV show.

Amid all the speculations, Osbourne took to Facebook to confirm that she is no more a part of the talent entertainer, reports bbc.com. S h e w r o t e : “A f t e r watching the new season of ‘X Factor’ unfold, I’ve seen the new judges finding their rhythm and (they) are doing brilliantly. Simon was so gracious to find me a spot on the live shows but at this point I really don’t think I’m needed and I would honestly feel odd coming in at this point. “So I have decided to pass on the series this year. I wish the show continued success and as much as I love to get my face on TV you will have to do without me this season.” Earlier, the former judge slammed Cowell during an interview with TV host jock Howard Stern, saying Cowell is a “f***ing pain in the ass” and revealing she was demanding 10 million pounds from Cowell as her contract means she must be paid the same as new judges Robbie Williams and Ayda Field.

Stairway to Heaven trial
L
ed Zeppelin face a new trial over claims the band stole a guitar riff for their 1971 song, Stairway to Heaven. A California appeals court overruled a 2016 case that said the band did not steal the opening of their hit from Taurus by the band Spirit. The court cited a series of errors by the previous case’s judge. Led Zeppelin band members Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, however, say the song is their masterpiece, which they wrote in a Welsh cottage. Michael Skidmore, trustee for the songs of Spirit guitarist Randy Wolfe, originally filed the suit in 2015. Wolfe, also known as Randy California, drowned in the Pacific rescuing his 12-year-old son in 1997. O n Fr i d ay, Ju d ge Richard Paez of the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco said the judge in that earlier trial
had made several errors. The judge reportedly did not tell jurors the trustee for Wolfe could win if the guitarist had written a “sufficiently original combination” of musical elements. He also should not have told jurors about the “copyrighting of music elements in the public domain”, according to a Reuters report on the ruling. Lawyers for Led Zeppelin did not immediately comment on the case. The original trial began with the jury being played various performances of both songs.
In his opening statement, the plaintiff ’s lawyer, Francis Malofiy, said the case could be summed up in six words - “give credit where credit is due”. Page and Plant were both “incredible performers, incredible musicians but they covered other people’s music and tried to make it their own”, he alleged. But the jury concluded that although the pair had access to the song Taurus as the two bands played on the same bill a year before Stairway to Heaven was released - the two riffs were not intrinsically similar.
Paul McCartney reveals John Lennon’s fears sic legacies of all time.

P
to deal with insecurities,”, McCartney admitted. “It’s what makes it right.” Meanwhile, McCartney recently admitted that Lennon only once complimented his songwriting. “It was ‘Here, There and Everywhere’,” said McCartney. “John says just as it finishes, ‘That’s a really good song, lad. I love that song.’ And I’m like, ‘Yes! He likes it!’” McCartney then said that he would often compliment Lennon, but that “you’d normally have to be a little drunk.” In other Beatles news, it was recently announced that the band’s seminal ‘White Album’ is due for re-release to celebrate the record’s 50th anniversary.

oming under pressure from his lawyers and investors of Tesla, tech billionaire Elon Musk has agreed to step down as chairman of the company for three years and pay a $20 million fine in a deal with the US stock market regulatory authority, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), to resolve securities fraud charges. The SEC announced the deal on Saturday -- two days after it sued Musk in federal court for misleading investors over his post on Twitter last month that he was considering taking Tesla into private ownership. Musk said that he had “funding secured” for a buyout of the electric-car company at $420 a share, reports The New York Times. Under the settlement, which requires court approval, Musk will be allowed to stay as CEO but must leave his role as chairman of the board within 45 days. He cannot seek re-election for three years, according to court filings.

Krishna’s granddaughters Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, Karisma Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan were emotional as they bid goodbye to their ‘dadi’, whose last journey saw her body adorned by a blanket of white flowers. “I will always love you RIP dadi,” Riddhima posted on Instagram. Krishna was the sister of the legendary villain, the late Prem Nath and comedian Rajendra Nath and their brother-in-law is the other Bollywood baddie, Prem Chopra. She is known to have conducted herself with great dignity when Raj Kapoor had an affair with
Devgn, Saif Ali Khan, Soha Ali Khan, Kunal Kemmu, Alia Bhatt, Rani Mukerji, Ayan Mukerji, Anil Kapoor and Salma Khan were among those who were present. “If Raj Kapoor was an institution in filmmaking, Krishnaji was an institution in living life. A very sad loss to all of us,” Aamir tweeted. Veteran actor Anupam Kher said she was “one of the most dignified and affectionate ladies” he had met, while filmmaker Karan Johar said she was “the embodiment of grace of dignity, of elegance and of strength”. “Krishna aunty will always be the ‘First Lady of the Film Fraternity’. The most generous, kind and gentle person I have ever known with the most terrific sense of humour,” he added.

Guwahati, Oct 1 (Agencies): A resurgent NorthEast United rescued a point with a gritty second-half display against FC Goa in a game where both sides will be encouraged by their Indian Super League start. Ferran ‘Coro’ Corominas once again made a menace of himself in the opposition box, scoring his 19th and 20th ISL goals in the first half. His opener came from a delicate chip from Jackichand Singh from the right. NorthEast goalkeeper TP Rehenesh failed to get a hand on the ball, which struck Corominas and rolled into the net. Replays showed that the Spanish striker might have got a hand as the ball made its way into the net.
Goa gained in confidence after the goal and Corominas’s second goal was a touch of class. The 34-year-old, took his time, made space at the edge of the area and unleashed a powerful shot; keeper Mohammad Nawaz at the near post could only get his fingertips on it. It was NorthEast who got the ball rolling, though. Eighteen-year-old Nawaz, 30 yards from his goal, rolled the ball forward. The referee had blown the whistle already and Uruguayan Federico Gallego’s dink found the back of the net as early as the eighth minute. On the other side of the break, NorthEast showed more verve and intensity and were duly rewarded with the equaliser.
Keegan Pereira floated in a gorgeous cross from the left-wing and Bartholomew Ogbeche’s header hit the roof of the net. A rejuvenated NorthEast desperately pushed for a winner. Good linkup play between Rowlin Borges and Nikhil Kadam saw the latter through on goal, but his shot was well saved by Nawaz with his fingertips. A minute later, defender Mato Grgic’s header from a crowded area went narrowly wide of the past. Fatigue took a toll on many of the players. Pereira and Jackichand had to be substituted after suffering niggles. Today’s match Time: 7:30 pm Mumbai City FC vs Jamshedpur
Dimapur, Oct 1 (NPN): Open volleyball tournament, organised by the United Youth Organization, will be held from October 3 at parade ground, Tuensang.
