Pangnyu vows to fight encroachment Warns of stern action against those involved in Dimapur Distt.

Hospital land encroachment Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, OCT 3 (NPN): Minister of Health and Family Welfare S. Pangnyu Phom hit out strongly against some staff and doctors of the department who have themselves allegedly encroached upon land belonging to the district hospital Dimapur.

The minister came down heavily on those officers while speaking at the inauguration of the computerized registration and billing counter of the district hospital Dimapur Wednesday.

Encroachment within the hospital land has created hurdles for expansion and development of the state’s biggest hospital which caters to patients from across the state including nearby Assam. The minister continued to vent his ire later at the DHD chapel, when he said “There have been so many lapses by few people who have damaged the reputa-

tion of the hospital. Some of the staff and even doctors have encroached land belonging to the hospital.”

Warning those guilty of reprisal, the minister for health and family welfare remarked, “I will take corrective measure. Those who are wrong will not be excused.”

Categorically pointing out errant doctors and staff, he added, “I will not hesitate to take stern action and get them suspended. I will bring the district administration, police and eviction will be done.”

Despite his clear displeasure of land encroachment of district hospital, Phom was however satisfied with the services rendered to the public by the district hospital and appealed to all present and the general public to “physically participate in keeping the hospitals, towns and cities of the state clean.”

Lauding the computerization of the registration and billing section of the

hospital, he said other government hospitals of the state should follow suit.

Convenor of District Hospital Dimapur Land Protection Committee, Dr K Toska Sumi who also spoke on the occasions informed the gathering that the Medical superintendant of DHD and the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) had earlier held a series of meeting to safeguard government properties where it was decided that advocate A Hukavi Zhimomi would pursue cases pertaining to land encroachment of the hospital.

He further said that the hospital administration had intimated the Commissioner of Nagaland of land encroachment cases and submitted the land cer-

Scholarship misuse: ANCSU wants minister’s intervention

DIMAPUR, OCT 3 (NPN): All Nagaland College Students’ Union (ANCSU) has sought immediate intervention of Higher & Technical Education minister Temjen Imna Along, besides recommending investigation by State Vigilance Commission (SVC) into misuse of scholarship fund by a section of officials of technical education directorate as per a comptroller and audit general (CAG) report.

In a representation to the minister, ANCSU president Katho P Awomi and general secretary Vimeyiekho Vitso also demanded termination of those officials found involved in the irregularities by SVC. They said they had submitted a memorandum in this regard to the director of technical education on September 22, demanding a detailed D I M A P U R , O C T 3 report on mismanagement (NPN): State government has notified that the Rights of Person with Disabilities Act, 2016 (No. 49 of 2016) dated December 27, 2016 passed by the Parliament Correspondent and published in the Extraordinary Gazette of KOHIMA, OCT 3 (NPN): India has come into force Agitating ad hoc teachers with immediate effect in under the banner of All the State of Nagaland as Nagaland Ad hoc Teachper a Government notifi- ers’ Group (ANATG) 2015 cation dated September batch clinched a major 27, 2018. concession from the State cabinet when it approved their scale of pay. This was confirmed to Nagaland Post by school education adviser KT Sukhalu.

The cabinet, however, refrained from taking any decision on their regularisation as it decided to wait till the court settled the matter.

M e a n w h i l e, f o u r ANATG leaders were detained for defying Kohima district administration order that barred their proposed meeting at Capital Convention here on Wednesday morning.

The representation termed the report submitted by the director (no. DTE/ ESTT-2/13/206/0143, Kohima, October 1, 2018), claiming recovery of misused scholarship amount, as unsatisfactory as it did not provide details and particulars of those officials involved in misappropriation of scholarship fund.

Alleging that the director was trying to cover identity of the erring officials, ANCSU demanded stern action against him, if found guilty of misusing or abusing his authority. This, the organisation explained, was required to restore integrity of the department as recovering the misused amount was not the only answer and would not pacify or convince the student community.

Dr K Toska Sumi also said that the hospital has proposed a team of legal advisors to protect the land of the hospital, namely; senior additional advocate general, Kakheto Sema; government leader or public prosecutor from Dimapur; advocate A Hukavi Zhimomi; and legal advisor to health and family welfare department.

Principal director, health and family welfare, Dr Vikeyie Losu who also spoke on the occasion said that it baffled him how hospital lands were the preferred choice of land encroachers.

Taking serious exception, Dr Vikeyie Losu also proposed a meeting to be held at Kohima with the district medical department and hospital officials along with the state department of health and family welfare.

Medical superintendant, DHD, Dr Kheshito Zhimo, who also chaired the meeting, gave a report of the activities and developments of the hospital from January till September.

Cabinet approves scale of pay for ad hoc teachers; ANATG leaders detained

This is it!

K Y M C

Bendangtemsu Ozukum informed media persons after their release that they were about to go for agitation since their issue was not taken up at the September 28 cabinet meeting. However, upon learning about the cabinet meeting scheduled during the day, they decided to give some time for the meeting, he added.

Stating that a general meeting was scheduled at Capital Convention Centre, Ozukum added they were prevented to hold the meeting, after which they shifted the meeting venue to NSF Solidarity Park after obtaining permission from NSF. He, however, alleged that security personnel cordoned the area and stopped them from entering the park.

D u r i n g t h a t t i m e, he said the police officers stopped them and insisted on accompanying them to North police station without any explanation.

To queries, he said the police officers insisted that all four of them sign a bond, in the form of an assurance that they would not agitate and maintain peace, which they refused to. Instead, he said they signed a letter of undertaking letter that they would “maintain peace” and would be “non-violent” without compromising their sole demand on regularisation of their service.

The ANATG spokesperson, however, mentioned that they were not locked up and that nothing was forced upon them, even as he expressed gratitude to Kohima Village Youth Organization (KVYO) leaders for reaching North police station within half an hour after they were detained and stayed with them till their release.

On the outcome of cabinet meeting, Ozukum remarked that he learnt that the pay scale matter was tabled at the cabinet

meeting. But unless they received the decision in black and white, he said the ANATG leaders would not it consider as official as the “government has fooled us in many ways”. As out of 1,166 ad hoc teachers, 90% were on fixed pay and 10% on pay scale, he said a decision would be taken after a general body meeting.

Meanwhile, police sources informed this correspondent that the four ANATG leaders were apprehended as part of “preventive detention” as they were not permitted by the district administration to hold the meeting. The sources said, as per the procedure in all police stations, whoever was detained had to sign a bond to maintain peace and not resort to violence, adding that the teachers were asked the same and so asked to sign and leave. The police said the leaders, however, refused to sign the bond and

wrote an undertaking later in the evening in their own language, which was more or less the same bond issued by the police stations. That was the reason they were detained at North police station till evening, the sources explained.

WSH expresses concern over ‘arrest’

Western Sumi Hoho has expressed concern over the alleged arrest of some of ANATG-2015 batch leaders while they staging protest in a democratic manner.

In a press release, WSH president, Zheshito Swu, and general secretary, Vikato K Achumi, said it was “quite unbecoming” of a democratically-elected government to resort in “such iron hand policies in a democratic state”. WSH said teachers while demanding their rights resort to such peaceful and democratic forms of protest in the state

from time to time so their voices were heard.

The hoho maintained that ANATG-2015 teachers have undergone their suitability tests and were “genuinely demanding” what was rightfully theirs.

WSH said regularization scheme notified vide Office Memorandum No. AR-5/ ASSO/98 dated 4.8.2008 clearly underlined the regularization of contract/ad hoc employees with three years of continuous service. WSH said it stands in solidarity with ANATG2015 batch teachers, who have been demanding for the regularization of their services. Meanwhile, WSH also expressed resentment over “several lapses and loopholes” in the appointment of those teachers under RMSA flagship programme.

The hoho stated that teachers under RMSA flagship programme of 2013 were given scale pay right from

the time of appointment, but the 2016 batch teachers under the same RMSA scheme were being “put under extreme duress and harassment from the government to accept deduction of their salaries or face termination from their services.” WSH said “such heartless and cruel tactic” was contrary to lofty speeches and awards showered on teachers for their meritorious service on Teachers’ Day every year.

ENCSU backs ANATG

Eastern Nagaland College students Union (ENCSU) has extend support to the demand of ANATG 2015 batch for regularisation of their service. In a press release, ENCSU president, Longre M Chang, and assistant general secretary, Chumseli K termed ANATG demand as “genuine” and appealed to the responsible authority to consider their demand at the earliest.

KOHIMA, OCT 3 (NPN): C.M Chang, minister for Forest, Environment and Climate Change and Parliamentary Affairs asserted that parliamentary democracy has taken root in the country to further develop democratic ethos among the younger generations.

He said this while addressing at the inaugural function of Youth Parliament competition held at ATI, Wednesday under the theme, “Democracy: A Challenge for Young Minds”. He recalled that the scheme was started in 1966-67 and it was called “mock parliament competition scheme”, however, with the “Eight All India Whips” Conference held in Bhopal in November 1972 it was recommended to substitute mock parliament as Youth Parliament. Consequently he said the scheme was now known as the Youth Parliament Competition Scheme and this scheme has now been adopted by a number of states and union territories, including Nagaland.

Chang said Youth Parliament was a platform for the youths to share their ideologies and opinions through debates, thus helping them to take part in policy making and also highlights the need for new thinking that will take the country forward.

“It is a platform where the youth can step forward and question the policy makers if they are not satisfied with the status quo, thereby creating an agenda for change”, the minister added. Chang said it was necessary that at the school and college level, a suitable

C.M Chang addressing at the Youth Parliament competition at Kohima, Wednesday (NP) programme was devised to train students for their role as citizens of a democratic country and said education should make students competent enough to consider public issues and form their opinion judiciously.

Asserting that youth was a season of hope and aspiration, it was time where one could be moulded and trained in a way to serve the country better and this can be through inter-group relations; across the table discussion; in family affairs; in local and national affairs.

Kevizeno from Kohima district emerged as winner of the state level parliamentary quiz and youth parliament competition.

Helena Patton from Wokha district secured second position and Hyulo Tsala Kohima district and Milika V. Jakha Zunheboto district occupied the third place. In group category Kiphire district emerged as group winner while Tuensang and Kohima districts secured second and third place respectively. More than 350 participants from 11 districts took part in the event. Commissioner and

secretary, department of Parliamentary Affairs Motsuthung Lotha said there was a need for the young people to have better life chances and the critical task at hand was to continuously inspire hope to the people of Nagaland as it was the youth that carried great potential to achieve the goals.

He expressed his concern that if the young people of today are not focused, not educated and not organised then the future will be doomed. Lotha said when young Nagas were facing serious challenges of the world today, the department of parliamentary affairs continues to play a pivotal role, creating platforms like YP to promote the youth to speak up and impact agenda for change. He said such platform inspires the youth to express their views in an organised manner and facilitate grooming of future leaders.

Earlier, associate professor, KCK Dr. Eunice Alinger chaired the programme while coordinator and assistant professor KCK Evothung Ezung proposed vote of thanks.

Commandant, 3rd NAP Battalion, Tuensang Nagaland.

New Delhi, Oct 3 (PTI): The Centre has extended the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act in three districts of Arunachal Pradesh and its eight police station areas bordering Assam by another six months, in view of continuing activities of banned insurgent groups of the Northeast.

According to a notification issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs, Tirap, Changlang and Longding districts of Ar unachal Pradesh and eight police stations bordering Assam were declared “disturbed” areas under the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA), 1958.

“Now, therefore, Tirap, Changlang and Longding districts in Ar unachal

IMPHAL, OCT 3: Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM) and Kuki Organization for Human Rights (KOHR) have registered strong objection to the reported proposal of the Centre to create autonomous council for Nagas in Manipur.

Taking note of reports published in section of the media, that the Centre may agree to create two autonomous councils in the frontier state of Arunachal Pradesh and one in Manipur in the process of final settlement of the ongoing Naga talks, KIM reiterated its long pending demand for settlement of the alleged genocide and atrocities against Kukis in Manipur first.

A memorandum in this regard was submitted to the Prime Minister on Wednesday and copies sent to UN general secretary Antonio Guterres and UNPFII

chief Henriksen Roy as well the presidents of Myanmar and Bangladesh.

In the memorandum, KIN and KOHR stated that the opposition to the creation of three councils within the so “Independent Hill Country” was neither an attempt to sabotage the government’s peace talks with NSCN (I-M) but an assertion of the traditional rights of ownership of the land by all the tribal people in the region.

KIM and KOHR said it must be clearly understood that any issue relating to Independent Hill country from Bay of Bengal to China, and in the region between India and present Myanmar cannot be settled with a single community or movement rather all indigenous land owners should be properly consulted, without whose consents any settlement is bound to incite civil unrests in the region.

Pradesh and the areas falling within the jurisdiction of the following eight police stations in the districts of Arunachal Pradesh, bordering the State of Assam, are declared as ‘disturbed area’ under Section 3 of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958 up to March 31, 2019 w.e.f. October 1, 2018, unless withdrawn earlier,” the notification said.

The police stations include Balemu and Bhalukpong police stations in West Kameng district, Seijosa police station in East Kameng district, Balijan police station in Papumpare district, Namsai and Mahadevpur police stations in Namsai district, Roing police station in Lower Dibang Valley district and Sunpura police

Aizawl, Oct 3 (PTI): Bharatiya Janata Party would fight all the 40 assembly seats in Mizoram alone, but the party might forge an alliance with likeminded parties in a postpoll scenario, general secretary Ram Madhav said on Wednesday.

Mizoram is the only state under the Congress in the Northeast at present.

The saffron party has been making concerted efforts to win the state, after having formed governments on its own or joining hands with allies in all other Northeastern states.

Addressing a press conference here, Madhav, who is in charge of the Northeast, said the BJP would field candidates in all the 40 assembly seats in the state,

where elections are due in December.

In the 2013 assembly poll, the Congress had won 34 seats and made Lal Thanhawala the chief minister, while the BJP has no MLA at present.

On the Opposition calling the Mizo National Front (MNF) “proxy” of the BJP, the general secretary termed it “ridiculous”.

The party would contest against the MNF and the National People’s Party in the polls, though they are constituents of NorthEast Democratic Alliance (NEDA), Madhav said.

The NEDA is a political coalition formed in 2016 by the BJP, along with Northeast regional parties like Naga People’s Front, Sikkim Democratic Front,

People’s Party of Arunachal, Asom Gana Parishad and Bodoland People’s Front.

Madhav asserted that the BJP “respected” the food habits, distinct cultural and customs of the Mizos and their religion.

He accused the ruling Congress, headed by Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla -- in power for 10 years -- of being corrupt and inefficient.

The Thanhawla regime did not create any basic infrastructural development during the last decade, though the Centre initiated and funded several developmental projects, the BJP leader said.If voted to power, the BJP would construct a four-lane highway across the state, linking both Myanmar and Bangladesh, Madhav said.

BSP to fight alone in Rajasthan, MP polls

Lucknow, Oct 3 (PTI): In a setback to Opposition unity ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, BSP chief Mayawati said Wednesday her party will not enter into a tie-up with the Congress for the upcoming Assembly elections in Rajasthan or Madhya Pradesh.

The BSP chief said even though Congress chief Rahul Gandhi and his mother Sonia Gandhi appeared in favour of an alliance, there were other “senior leaders” who worked to foil any possibility of an understanding.

“The Congress is under the wrong impression that it can match all the tactics of BJP...If the BJP faces just the Congress, it can easily form the government. Still the Congress does not seem prepared for an honest alliance between opposition parties” Mayawati said.

The BSP chief claimed that the people of the three states going to polls later this year were not in favour of the BJP returning to power but due to the Congress’ “stubborn attitude”, her party had to strike an alliance with a regional party in Chhattisgarh. Mayawati has announced an alliance with former chief minister Ajit Jogi’s outfit in Chhattisgarh.

“It was in the larger people’s and national interest that our party agreed to an alliance to check the BJP, which was pursuing anti-people, anti-farmer, anti-poor and pro-capitalist

though Congress president Rahul Gandhi and his mother Sonia Gandhi wanted an alliance with the BSP, there were some “selfish senior” leaders in their party who were out to foil any understanding. Congress leaders like Digvijay Singh do not wish for a Congress-BSP alliance, she claimed.

“A selfish senior leader, who is also a BJP agent, in his TV interview talking about the alliance claimed the BSP president was under pressure of ED and CBI to deter her from entering into an alliance. But this is totally baseless,” Mayawati asserted.

“The Congress party’s ‘arrogance’ is now evident and they feel that they can take on the BJP on their own. The truth is that the people are unwilling to forgive the Congress for their corrupt government,” she In this file picture BSP chief Mayawati is seen with added. the top Congress leader Sonia Gandhi during the Creases can be swearing-in ceremony of JD(S)-Congress coalition government in Bengaluru. (PTI) ironed out: Cong policies, from coming to power,” Mayawati said.

She claimed it was because of the Congress’ attitude that BJP remained in power in MP, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and other states for a long time and yet the party had not mended itself.

“If this was not so, why did the Congress adopt a stubborn attitude and offered meagre seats to the BSP in these three states when everyone knows our

5-year-old girl gangraped by temple priests in MP Bhopal, Oct 3 (AGENCIES): A five-year-old girl was gangraped by two priests inside a temple premises in Datia district on Tuesday said police.

Police arrested both the priests - Raju Pandit(55) and Batoli Prajapati (45) late Tuesday night and booked them under Section 376 (rape) of Indian Penal Code and Protection of Children from Sexual Offence (POCSO). Police suspect the duo might have assaulted other minors too.

The girl, a farmer’s daughter, was admitted to a district hospital where her condition is stated to be stable.

“The accused lured the girl with a sweet dish inside the temple. They raped the girl and then dropped her outside her home. They also threatened the girl of dire consequences if she revealed the crime to anyone,” Goraghat police station town inspector Ripudaman Singh said.

“The girl’s mother

noticed that her daughter was feeling great pain and especially while relieving herself. When the mother asked the girl why she was in pain, the girl initially did not say anything, but later she blurted out her ordeal.

The family informed the police and rushed the girl to the district hospital,” Singh said.

Datia, superintendent of police, Mayank Awasthi said, “The people have alleged that the two priests might have harassed other minors too, as several girls had told their parents that these priests were ‘not good’. We are investigating the matter.”

The crime is the latest in Madhya Pradesh’s depressing statistics of rape and molestation.

According to the state women’s cell records, 1,894 rapes and 4,069 molestation cases were registered in the first five months of 2018. This translates to an average of 13 rapes and 27 instances of molestation every day.

Mayawati claimed the BSP had always supported the Congress to check the communal parties. But instead of feeling indebted to the BSP leadership, Congress like the BJP, betrayed us, she said adding “there are a number of examples and the Taj Corridor issue is one such case”.

Maha govt moves SC in Navlakha house arrest case New Delhi, Oct 3 (AGENCIES): Maharashtra government on Wednesday moved Supreme Court challenging the Delhi High Court order allowing Gautam Navlakha, one of the five rights activists arrested in connection with the Koregaon-Bhima case, to be freed from house arrest.

The plea has been filed in the apex court registry on Wednesday morning challenging the Delhi High Court order, Nishant Katneshwar, counsel for the Maharashtra government told PTI. The Delhi High Court on Monday freed Mr. Navlakha from house arrest, five weeks after he, along with four other rights activists, was arrested in connection with the Koregaon-Bhima violence in Maharashtra. Granting relief to 65-year-old Navlakha, the High Court had also quashed the trial court’s transit remand order which he had challenged before the matter was taken to the Supreme Court.

Apparently stunned by Mayawati’s announcement Wednesday that her party won’t forge any alliance with it in the Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan assembly polls, the Congress hoped that the BSP chief reposing her faith in Rahul and Sonia Gandhi will provide it a window of opportunity and “creases will be ironed out” with harmony.

Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said the party’s goal of de-

feating the BJP is clear and if any party walks along with it in achieving it is welcome, otherwise there can be a “healthy contest” in this fight against the BJP and there is nothing wrong in it as happened in the past.

“Mayawati has expressed her sentiments and we respect that. She has reposed full faith in Rahul ji and Sonia ji and we respect that too. If there is harmony among Sonia Gandhi, who is our guide, and Rahul Gandhi, who is our leader, and Mayawati ji, then no fourth person can create a rift among them.

“If there are any creases left, they will be ironed out mutually among them with harmony,” he told reporters.

Surjewala also said that once the leaders have amicable, respectable, fruitful relationship with each other, “all other creases can be ironed out”.

After charges by Mayawati against him, Congress leader Digvijaya Singh said that he has been a bitter critic of Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, BJP and the RSS and he will follow Rahul Gandhi’s directions.

He said he has already made it clear that he respects Mayawati and has been in favour of Congress-BSP alliance from the very beginning and talks between the two parties have already been held but she has declared candidates for 22 seats.

Kolkata, Oct 3 (PTI): A fire broke out in the pharmacy of the state-run Medical College and Hospital here Wednesday following which around 250 patients have been evacuated from the premises, fire officials said.

No one has been injured in the the blaze that broke out at 8 am in the

dispensary located on the ground floor. Ten fire tenders were engaged to douse the fire, officials said.

Thick smoke was seen billowing from the ground floor of the hospital’s main building where the pharmacy is housed. Medicines stocked in the dispensary have been reduced to ashes.

West Bengal Minister of

State for Health Chandrima Bhattacharya told reporters that the 250 patients admitted to cardiology, general medicine and haematology wards have been shifted to other wards in the hospital as well as other hospitals.

Many medicines were destroyed in the fire, but the patients will not face any problems, she assured.

Rafale deal a game-changer: Air Force chief New Delhi, Oct 3 (PTI): Defending the Rafale fighter jet amid a raging political row, Air Chief Marshal B S Dhanoa Wednesday termed the deal a “good package” and said the aircraft will be a “game-changer” for the subcontinent.

He said the S-400 air defence missile systems, a deal for which is likely to be signed later this week after Russian President Vladimir Putin arrives here Thursday, and the 36 Rafale jets will provide the Air Force with a much needed “booster”.

Addressing a press conference here, Dhanoa described the decision to buy the Rafale fighter jets as a “bold move” by the government and said it was an “emergency purchase” keeping in view the depleting squadrons of the Air Force.

In response to a question on Rafale maker Dassault Aviation choosing Reliance Defence over stateowned Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), Dhanoa said it was the “prerogative” of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to choose the offset partner and neither government nor the Air Force had any role in it.

The Congress and other opposition parties have claimed massive irregularities in the Rafale fighter jet deal and the issue has been gathering steam ahead of three crucial state polls and Lok Sabha polls next year.

The BJP and Reliance De-

Birender Singh Dhanoa fence have dismissed all the allegations as false. Dhanoa said the Rafale is a “very good aircraft”.

“When it comes to the subcontinent, it will be a game-changer because it has significant capabilities, better than what our regional adversaries have got. It takes care of even the new aircraft they (adversaries) are likely to induct in near future,” he said.

“We have a very good package along with the aircraft,” the Air Force chief added. Endorsing the deal, he said the Air Force has got the most modern censors, state-of-the-art weapons, India specific enhancements, better price terms, better delivery time schedules, better maintenance terms, longer industrial commitment terms and additional warranty.

“We have a lot of advantages in the Rafale deal,” Dhanoa said.

Responding to a question on whether the Air Force was consulted before going ahead with the government to government

(G2G) deal to buy 36 Rafale jets, Dhanoa said it was consulted at an “appropriate level”.

He said the medium multi-role combat aircraft (MMRCA) deal to buy 126 aircraft, where Rafale was the lowest bidder, had reached an “impasse” due to “irresolvable differences” between HAL and Dassault Aviation over HAL’s additional man hours in production of the aircraft and the resultant cost increase.

The MMRCA deal was discussed during the UPA regime and scrapped by the NDA. “The available options were analysed. We had choices -- one, to continue indefinitely to resolve the difference between Dassault Aviation and HAL; cancel RFP (Request for Proposal) and restart the process,” Dhanoa told reporters.

Considering another variant at this stage will require a few more years, he said.

“It was decided to procure two squadrons of aircraft on G2G basis to meet the critical operational necessity of the IAF. We have bought two squadrons of aircraft under emergency purchase...starting from the time Pakistan bought the F-16s,” he said. One squadron has about 18 aircraft.

Dhanoa acknowledged HAL’s support to the Air Force but said there has been a “slight lag” in the public sector unit’s delivery schedule.

Kerala govt will implement SC verdict on Sabarimala: CM T h i ru va na n thapuram, Oct 3 (AGENCIES): Kerala government Wednesday made it clear it has no plan to file a review petition against the Supreme Court order allowing women of all age groups into the Lord Ayyappa Temple at Sabarimala.

T h e Tr ava n c o r e Devaswom Board (TDB), which manages the hill shrine, has also not taken any decision to go for any review in this regard, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan told reporters here.

The TDB president had stated that the Board may examine the possibility of filing the review petition, while the opposition Congress and BJP had asked the government to do the same holding that traditions and belief of the temple have to be protected.

Terming the recent developments connected with Sabarimala a “serious” matter, Vijayan said as a government, it has to abide by directives of the top court and make

necessary arrangements for women devotees visiting the shrine.

“It is the responsibility of the government to implement the court order without any compromise.

We will ensure to make necessary arrangements for the women devotees in the upcoming season itself,” he said.

He also took exception to TDB president A Padmakumar’s recent remark that they were not expecting large number of women devotees at the shrine in the wake of the court order.

The Sabarimala Temple had restricted the entry of women belonging to the age group between 10-50 due as part of its age-old tradition.

On October 28, a fivejudge constitution bench headed by the then Chief Justice Dipak Misra lifted the ban on entry of women of menstrual age into the shrine.

With regard to the protest launched by various outfits against implementing the court verdict, the

A man whose father was admitted in the hospital said his father died following the fire outbreak.

“I brought him (father) downstairs (after the fire outbreak). After some time, I took him to the emergency department (of the hospital) where he was given oxygen but father died,” the man claimed. A cancer patient who was admitted to the hospital said, “I was scared after seeing the smoke. There was heavy rush at the staircase. I felt suffocated”.

Another patient said she left the “area” in another patient’s medical trolley.

City mayor and Fire Services Minister Sovan Chatterjee, who visited the hospital, told reporters that the fire was brought under control. He said the hospital was equipped to handle fire mishaps, which helped the fire brigade control the blaze quickly.

When asked about the source of the fire, Chatterjee said, “It will be known after

the forensic examination.”

He said the patients were shifted from affected areas and arrangements were made for their treatment.

On the availability of medicines in the hospital, he said, “There is no cause for panic. There may be some problems but it will be temporary. Arrangements will be made to supply medicines”.

Fire Brigade DG Jagmohan said the hospital had a fire fighting system in place and water was available in the hydrants which helped control the blaze.

“Since this is a huge medical facility and many patients come here everyday, we did not want to take any chances,” a senior fire official said.

Fire brigade personnel broke the wall at some places to get inside the affected areas.

Senior Congress leader Pradip Bhattacharya demanded a high-level probe into the incident.

We will ensure to make necessary arrangements for the women devotees in the upcoming season itself, Vijayan said.

Chief Minister said no one has the right to prevent women devotees if they want to go to the shrine and offer worship.

“When the Supreme Court has taken a stand after considering all aspects on the matter, people have to accept the law of the land. The government is

for implementing it,” he added.

Hundreds of Ayyappa devotees, including women, Tuesday had blocked state and national highways in various parts of Kerala protesting the Supreme Court verdict.

BJP state President S Sreedharan Pillai had said

the party plans to launch state-wide agitations to protect the interest of Sabarimala devotees.

Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala had urged the TDB to file a review petition and also asked the government to arrive at a consensus on the issue.

Farmer’s stir culminate rally at Kisan Ghat

New Delhi, Oct 3 (PTI): Protesting farmers ended their march at the Kisan Ghat in the national capital early Wednesday after the police which had stopped them on the city border allowed their entry, police said.

The Delhi Police removed the barricades around 12.30 am to allow the farmers, who were stopped Tuesday at UP Gate on the Uttar Pradesh-Delhi border during the Kisan Kranti Yatra, to enter the city, a senior police official said.

Within hours, thousands of farmers gathered at Kisan Ghat, the memorial of renowned farmer leader and former prime minister Chaudhary Charan Singh, which is located just adjacent to Raj Ghat between the banks of Yamuna river and Mahatma Gandhi Road, also known as main Ring Road. They offered tributes at the memorial.

The farmers entered the national capital riding their tractors and trolleys and proceeded towards Kisan Ghat where heavy police

deployment has been made, the official said.

BKU leader Pawan Khatana said the police had opened the barricades around 12.30 am.

“We reached the Kisan Ghat in the next couple of hours. By 5 am the farmers had started return journey to their homes in Rajasthan, Haryana, UP, Madhya Pradesh,” Khatana, the BKU’s Uttar Pradesh unit spokesperson, told PTI. No farmers participating in the agitation are now in Delhi, however, several of them, including BKU chief Naresh Sigh Tikait are staying put near the UP-Delhi border -- the spot for Tuesday’s clash with security men.

Khatana said some of the farmers are still at UP Gate, the intersection of Madan Mohan Malviya Road in Ghaziabad with the Delhi-Meerut highway, repairing their tractors.

“Our yatra was supposed to start from Tikait Ghat in Haridwar and culminate at the Kisan Ghat in Delhi. The farmers reached

there and after that they left.

“Our main objective was to get our issues highlighted, which has happened. Now it is for the government to decide what it wants to do.

The farmers have done their work. If they agree to our demands, well and good.

Otherwise, during elections they (politicians) will only have to approach us (for votes) and not the other way round,” Khatana said.

Mukul Singh, 24, who participated in the stir said he has reached back home in Muzaffarnagar.

Thousands of farmers on Tuesday marched towards Delhi over demands ranging from farm loan waiver to cut in fuel prices, pending sugarcane dues, allowing plying of old tractors, blocking traffic movement on arterial roads leading to the national capital.

National highways leading to the capital were swamped with farmers who came in from places as far as Gonda, Basti and Gorakhpur in eastern Uttar Pradesh as well as the sugarcane belt of western Uttar Pradesh.

Witch hunting tools

f there are reasons to believe that central enforcement agencies such as CBI, Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Income Tax (IT) are in dire need of officers of the highest caliber; it is not a wrong assessment. However, in the light of recent actions of the central agencies, the issue of witch hunt against political rivals has again resurfaced. This is not specific to the current BJP government under Narendra Modi where the witch hunt has become like an event, running parallel with election campaigns. The main functions of these agencies are to tackle corruption and bring the offenders to book or so it seems.

Experiences of many other countries reveal that the anti-corruption agencies (ACAs) fail to do their best also due to a lack of public involvement and insufficient accountability. Under the current setup, independence or autonomy of the CBI will always remain a myth. First of all, it needs sanctions for prosecuting corruption cases against public servants and in some situations it even needs permission to register cases.

Again, the government must grant approval if the CBI losses a case in the trial court and wants to appeal to the higher court. Like a small boy, it needs to ask its daddy for everything. Unfortunately, the CBI has been used as an effective tool against political rivals; be it Lalu Prasad Yadav, Mulyam Singh or Mayawati etc whose cases never seem to end but kept pending for decades –reopening if the powers at the centre are hostile and closed when the powers at the centre are friendly. In order to nullify the channels of control, the Supreme Court in 1997, tried to create a powerful single agency by empowering the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) with powers of supervision and control over vigilance administration and corruption cases as well as over CBI investigations. The SC directive intended to insulate appointments, investigation and prosecution from government control (read the DoPT). This experiment with independence failed for obvious reasons. This could not proceed further for the simple reason that vested interest ensured it never got beyond the filing. Such a single-agency approach appears to have worked for South Korea which has an Independent Commission that reports to the President. It has also worked well in Hong Kong with its Independent Commission Against Corruption. The other investigative arms of the government include the Enforcement Directorate to probe economic offences and the Income Tax to detected undisclosed income or black money etc. The belief that officials of high integrity would work well for the independent functioning of the CBI fell flat with regard to the issue the National Herald case where the Gandhis are targets. CBI had called for closure of the case and according wrote to ED Chief Rajan Katoch since there was no evidence of any offence committed. However, under interventions form BJP leader Dr. Subramaniam Swamy and an IT Officer, the Katoch was shunted out and the case “reopened” and another officer named as special director to tighten the noose around the necks of the Gandhi mother and son. The need for the Lok Pal is growing more stronger but the BJP which used to rant a lot while it was the opposition and against the Congress, appears to have had a change of heart.

Also its jibe at the CBI for being Congress Bureau of Investigation has now been forgotten along with the vow against black money.

DailyDevotion The Place of Ministry

He said to them, "This kind [of unclean spirit] can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting."

—Mark 9:29 “His disciples asked Him privately, ‘Why could we not cast it out?’ ” (Mark 9:28). The answer lies in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. “This kind can come out by nothing but” concentrating on Him, and then doubling and redoubling that concentration on Him. We can remain powerless forever, as the disciples were in this situation, by trying to do God’s work without concentrating on His power, and by following instead the ideas that we draw from our own nature.

We actually slander and dishonor God by our very eagerness to serve Him without knowing Him. When you are brought face to face with a difficult situation and nothing happens externally, you can still know that freedom and release will be given because of your continued concentration on Jesus Christ. Your duty in service and ministry is to see that there is nothing between Jesus and yourself. Is there anything between you and Jesus even now? If there is, you must get through it, not by ignoring it as an irritation, or by going up and over it, but by facing it and getting through it into the presence of Jesus Christ. Then that very problem itself, and all that you have been through in connection with it, will glorify Jesus Christ in a way that you will never know until you see Him face to face.

We must be able to “mount up with wings like eagles” (Isaiah 40:31), but we must also know how to come down. The power of the saint lies in the coming down and in the living that is done in the valley. Paul said, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13) and what he was referring to were mostly humiliating things. And yet it is in our power to refuse to be humiliated and to say, “No, thank you, I much prefer to be on the mountaintop with God.” Can I face things as they actually are in the light of the reality of Jesus Christ, or do things as they really are destroy my faith in Him, and put me into a panic?

Post-mortem

CM Chang’s speech Towards cleaner Nagaland on 64th Wildlife Week I (Big cats: Predators under threat) O n the auspicious occasion of the 64th Wildlife Week from 2' to 8th October 2018, I sincerely congratulate the people of the State for conservation and protection of forest and wildlife. The observation of the Wildlife Week is organized every year in the country, coinciding with the birth anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri to offer an opportunity in raising awareness and invigorating the commitment for preservation of the unique flora and fauna diversity that we have inherited from our forefathers.

The theme of this year's Wildlife Week is- "Big Cats: Predators Under Threat". The big cats include animals such as lion, tiger, leopard, jaguar, cheetah, snow leopard, puma, clouded leopard, and more The big cat populations are declining at a staggering rate as a result of mostly human-induced threats such as habitat loss, poaching, illegal trade, human-wildlife conflict, and climate change. Statistics show that the world lost over 90 percent of its Tigers in the 20th century while Lion populations have fallen by twofifths in just 20 years. Events such as this highlight the responsibility of the Government and the people of the State to join hands in protecting the big cats by increasing its prey base and the protected area network. We must do our utmost in protecting these magnificent and charismatic creatures.

Our country is one of the 17 mega biodiversity countries of the world.

This diversity is however, under stress from poaching and organized wildlife trade with global ramifications. Illegal wildlife trade is driven mainly by the huge profits earned by traders. Low risks and no penalties make this trade highly lucrative, whilst depleting our biodiversity. I appeal to the people of the State to co-operate with the Government in curbing such wildlife crime.

We are well aware that the basic needs of human beings such as food, clothing, and shelter are directly and indirectly met with from the forest. Human beings, animals, and plants have a very intrinsic relationship. The survival of man is dependent on the survival

(From previous issue) s stated earlier, our appointments and regularization was not an issue in the case filed by ACAUT & PSAN. Furthermore, the Hon’ble High Court has not set aside/quashed the scheme for regularization put in place vide O.M dated 4.8.08.

Above all, there is no direction by the Hon’ble High Court not to regularize our services. Therefore, we humbly submit that Contempt of the High Court’s Judgment will not be attracted even if our services are regularized.

The esteemed Government is also aware that Contempt of Court will be attracted only when there is willful and deliberate violation of specific direction passed by a Court.

In the aforesaid circumstances, we requested the esteemed authority to end our insecurities, miseries and hardships by ordering the completion of the remaining process of our regularization. We are discharging our duties in the same manner and circumstances as any regular teachers. Therefore, we are entitled under the law for equal salary as the regular employees.

In fact, the Department of School Education by Notification No. DSE/ADHOC-SALARY/2015 dated 13.10.2017 has granted scale pay of Rs. 5200-20200 with grade pay of Rs. 2400/and Rs. 9300-34800 with grade pay of Rs. 4200 to all adhoc Primary Teachers and Graduate Teachers respectively who were appointed after 1.7.2017 against resultant vacancies.

As stated earlier, we have also been appointed against sanctioned posts. Therefore, it is ridiculous that adhoc appointees after us are given

A

of animal and plant life. Conservation of wildlife and forests are necessary to preserve the ecological diversity and our life support systems such as air, water, and soil. In general, by conserving and protecting the natural habitat and various wildlife species, we enrich our planet.

In Nagaland, our forefathers were dependent on the forest and hunted wild animals for food and their basic survival. Now, the state of Nagaland is developing like other parts of the country. Plenty of edible materials are now readily available without the need for hunting wildlife. Thus, people are coming forward for protection and conservation of forest and wildlife.

The latest example is protection of Amur Falcons and the State has been recognized as the Falcon's capital of the world.

The provisions of the Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972, were in conflict with the cultural practices of Nagas.

However, since 18' December 1981, the Government of Nagaland has been taking steps to ensure proper implementation of this Act by looking into the importance of forest and wildlife and by educating the people and raising awareness. On this auspicious occasion of the 64th Wildlife Week, I appeal to all my fellow citizens of Nagaland to extend their support to the Forest Department towards a concerted approach in protecting and conserving the rich wildlife of the State. Public support and participation is no longer a choice now but an absolute necessity in wildlife conservation.

I would like to end this message with a quote from Sir David Attenborough who is an internationally renowned British broadcaster and presenter of natural history and wildlife documentaries, "In my lifetime I have seen something of the marvellous range of wild species with which we share the planet. But due to changes which today afflict the world, no one born tomorrow will have the opportunity to see such variety. We must surely do all we can to protect what remains".

Minister for Forest, Environment Climate Change Nagaland

t was way back in 2013, on my way back to Kohima, I encountered a young lady who was well dressed, beautiful, slim and decent with a fancy phone on her hand.

After a while she boarded in the taxi took out a bottle of mineral water from her hand bag,drank the water and threw out the empty bottle on the roadside (There was an indigenous thrash bin made of bamboo nearby the taxi).

Within a second the admiration and respect I had for her snapped away from my heart and mind because of her one ugly act.

It is common and normal for us to blow the nose and wipe it into our clothes, pick the nose and eat and offer food to others, use the toilet and come out without washing the hands, eat, drink and throw anywhere, keep our rooms and surroundings clean but mess our neighbors surroundings, roads, drainage, public transportation, hospitals, institutions and the list goes on.

From urinating, defecating and spitting in every nooks and corners of the public and private places and to rub the lime on the walls anywhere and anytime while chewing the betel nut (Tamul/Tamol) is becoming a serious threat to our beautiful villages, towns and cities.

Specifically talking about ‘WE’ the Nagas, it’s been a few decades only coming out from wilderness of jungles and villages to the so called towns and cities, comparing with the advanced states and countries of the world but when it comes to dressing sense of Nagas whether in the villages and cities we might top the list in India although our state capital was listed as one of the second most ‘UNLIVEABLE’ city in India.

Just keeping our body clean is not enough to live a healthy life but our environment should be clean along with our body and a proper diet.

Today we are getting the brunt of price rise but we have added more by paying the

Swachh Bharat cess of 0.5 per cent which became effective from 15 Nov 2015, started by NDA govt. under the initiative of Shri. Narendra Modi (PM) to make India a clean Nation, all because of our irresponsible behaviour and ill habits of making our nation a dumping ground. With all the initiative taken by the govt. to make India a clean nation we can still witnessed a slim differences only till now. Just like the old saying which says ‘old habits die hard’ we are still reluctant and ignorant about the importance of clean environment. All the right thinking responsible citizens of the society it is high time we wake up from the deep slumbers and do something to make our environment clean and safe, for us and for our future generation.

Let us understand that the task cannot be accomplished until and unless it starts within us instead of pointing our finger toward others and depending upon others to carry out the work for us, “we should act by doing ourselves first”. Remember we cannot make our state clean by doing social work once or twice in a year. Our leaders cannot, by picking up the broom pretending to clean for publicity or some leaders cleaning for a day to mark an event. The children and students cannot by participating only in some competitions on the theme clean environment.

We cannot, by commenting on social media only. “But we can; only if we act and make cleaning a part of our life”.

I want to conclude my writing by appealing to all the schools and colleges to make cleaning a part and parcel of the curriculum by letting the students to clean their own classroom and school and college premises not as a punishment or the management unable to maintain a sweeper but to instill in our students a sense of responsibility and dignity of work and labour and to keep our nation clean. Irrespective of the social status of

the students just like in Japan where cleaning by students is part of the curriculum. I have personally experience this method of cleaning by students when I was working at Lorna’s High School, Dimapur in the year 2014. The result was very effective as the school was always neat and tidy. And the same method I am applying in my school today.

Sincere appeal to the All Nagaland Taxi Association (ANTA), Dimapur District Auto Drivers Union (DDADU), Nagaland State Transport (NST) and private bus service provider to introduce a pouch thrash bin where passenger can dump their thrash while travelling, just like in Gantok and other cities where passengers are not allowed to throw thrash from moving vehicles but can dumb in the pouch inside the vehicle.

The municipal authorities, head of various colonies and villages of different districts to make mandatory to keep and use a big trash/waste bin enough to hold for 3 days by every household and commercial establishment just like in other cities and to dismantle and stop the present system of piling up waste in a concrete wall dustbin in the middle of the cities. The writer personally appreciate the commendable works executed by the present head and staffs of municipalities but sorry to mention that the two small dustbin provided at the cost of Rs.40 per piece in the year 2017 (Dimapur) was not satisfactory as the need of the hour is not about dealing with dust but with enormous thrash and waste.

The concerned department should make mandatory to all the shopping malls and complexes to have lavatory for the customers. More pay and use toilet must be introduced as this is one major factor compelling the people to defecate openly as nature call does not come by knocking at the door.

(To be concluded) Toshi Jamir, Nagarjan HM,KHS.

Statement of ANATG-2015 Batch

the latest scale pay whereas we are continued to be discriminated. We may also add that the Rule 5 (i) (c) of the Nagaland School Education Service Rules, 2017 provides a mode of recruitment through limited departmental examinations.

Furthermore, Rule 32 of the said Rules has provided the power to relax the application of the Rules to mitigate undue hardships. And as such the ANATG even requested the government that these provisions of the Rules can also be explored to overcome legal impediment, if any, towards our regularization. However, even to this day we are been replied only with the lame excuse of Court’s judgment.

The ANATG-2015 left with no other option submitted an ULTIMATE ULTIMATUM, of 10 days to the Department/ Government to consider our regularization matter on 7th Sept 2018 by consulting the esteemed ANSTA, NSF and ENSF. However the government remained adamant with the same Court Case excuses.

Thus the agitation was resumed by the ANATG2015 Batch on 21.09.18 and was taken to the street after proper judgment and consensus with the 1166 members. The ANATG 2015 Batch’s resentment was purely based on the fact that incumbents from various departments were been regularized. However we have been told, the Government’s inability to regularize the Adhoc teachers basing on their stand that the court’s judgment has restrained the government from regularizing any adhoc/Contract/casual employees. Despite of all the difficulties that has been faced by its members and gathering at the

State capital, the ANATG temporarily suspended the agitation on 21.09.18 with an assurance from the government through the intervention of ANSTA and NSF that the meeting will be held on 26.09.18 with the department official headed by the Advisor of School Education for solving the aggrieved matter of ANATG-2915 Batch .

As proposed, the meeting was held on 26.09.18 in the presence of Advisor of School Education, Senior Additional Advocate General to the Government of Nagaland, Principal Secretary; School Education and Director of School Education. In this meeting the ANATG was assured that granting of regular scale of pay based on the constitutional rights of “ Equal Pay for Equal Work” would be proposed for cabinet approval. And as such the Cabinet meeting was convened vide Circular NO: CAB-2/2003(pt) dated Kohima the 26th Sept. 2018. However on learning that the meeting which was proposed on 28.09.18 was deferred Vide Circular NO: CAB2/2003(pt) dated Kohima the 28th Sept 2018 without any logical reasons, has again proved the government’s negligence and ignorance towards the aggrieved matter of ANATG-2015 Batch leading to untold miseries and hardships that are being faced by the aggrieved teachers. It was further learnt that the Cabinet meeting was to be held at 2 PM on the 29th of Sept. 2018. The ANATG members anticipated for this scheduled meeting with good spirit and hope that the government would discuss the demands of the ANATG . However by

late evening it was learnt that the meeting was held but nothing relating to the ANATG issue were discussed.

Despite so many meetings, discussions, deliberations and analysis with the government, it is so disheartening and discouraging to know that, the Government is not at all taking initiatives to resolve the long standing issue of the ANATG. It even hurts the members, to learn that inspite of all the official proceedings, the Government is not considering the hardships and despairs that the members are facing since the date of appointment.

The ANATG wonders and questions the government if at all a solution could be placed on table for acceptance by both in a consensual manner.

It may be mentioned that the ANATG- 2015 Batch on the 21st of Sept 2018 was not permitted by the administration under the direction of the government, to stage peaceful protest at the vicinity of the Nagaland Civil Secretariat, which itself is an act of curtailment of a Democratic

Rights, guaranteed to every Indian Citizen by the Constitution of India. However with immense support from Tribal Organization and Civil societies the aggrieved teachers preceded with the agitation only to be met by law enforcing personals with readied water cannon , Tear Gas , lathis , shields and bullet proof vest and guns. It is very disheartening to realize that Teachers who are responsible for shaping the future of the students has to be threatened and treated in such manners.

The ANATG’s demand if not at all genuine, then the Government is requested to answer the teachers that what we are seeking is unlawful and illegal and that the incumbents whose services you have utilized for almost a decade and more should not be treated as Criminals with Guns/ water cannon/ lathis.

The struggle by the ANATG -2015 Batch has taken its toll on the members mentally, physically and financially. However, every bit of our burden has been lightened up by the immense support from

Reader’s Post Sir,

Give due credit

As a Naga residing in Nagaland, when one sees positive things happening around us it is important that we acknowledge gratefully. Many a times, efforts made by the government for welfare of people go unnoticed or is given undue criticism. Our people are never satisfied and never grateful and that is also one reason why we cannot get out of our petty mindedness. As an elderly woman having lived out most of my days in Kohima, I see changes that have taken place despite the unfortunate natural elements that may disrupt our daily lives. We need to pray for the government and the leaders and give due credit where it is needed.

Toshili Yepthomi, Bayavu, Kohima

New Delhi, Oct 3 (PTI): Gold surged by Rs 555 to reach Rs 32,030 per 10 gram at the bullion market Wednesday, taking positive leads from global markets amid fresh buying by local jewellers.

Silver too went past the Rs 39,000-per kg mark on increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers.

Traders said sentiment turned upbeat on positive global cues, as demand picked up after the US and Canada reached an agreement to salvage a North American free trade deal.

Besides, the rupee collapsing to a fresh life-time low of 73.41 against the dollar (intra-day), making imports costlier, too supported the upside in gold prices, they added.

Globally, gold rallied 0.32 per cent to USD 1,207.60 an ounce in Singapore. In the national capital, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per cent purity soared by Rs 555 each to Rs 32,030 and Rs 31,880 per 10 gram, respectively.

Mumbai, Oct 3 (IANS): The Reserve Bank of India is widely expected to increase its repurchase rate by 25 basis points (bps) when it unveils the monetary policy on Friday, as it seeks to curb the potential inflationary impact from rising crude oil prices and a weakening currency.

At its bi-monthly review in August, the central bank lifted the key shortterm lending rate, also called repo rate, by 25 basis points for a second straight time to 6.5 per cent, citing upside risks to inflation on account of an increase in the minimum support price for crops, and higher crude oil prices.

“The RBI policy meet is the key event and the market is pricing in a 25 bps hike,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.

Global oil prices have been on a boil, hurting the rupee, as India imports nearly 80 per cent of its crude requirements.

Higher interest rates in the US, and a tariff war initiated by President Donald Trump have also sent the Indian currency on a downward spiral. On Wednesday,

pee puts pressure on the country’s oil import bill.

The domestic currency has depreciated nearly 13 per cent since the beginning of this year.

Besides having impact on current account deficit, the sliding rupee has made imports costlier and led to oil prices skyrocketing to record highs. India is the third largest importer of crude oil.

Oil imports during the first five months of the current fiscal rose by 53.55 per cent to USD 58.81 billion. Since 2011-12, India’s exports have been hovering at around USD 300 billion.

During 2017-18, the shipments grew by about 10 per cent to USD 303 billion.

Saudi king wouldn’t last 2 US, British scientists win Nobel Chemistry Prize weeks without US support: Trump

American scientists Frances Arnold (left) and George Smith (middle) and British researcher Gregory Winter (right).

Stockholm, Oct 3 (Agencies): US scientists Frances Arnold and George Smith and British researcher Gregory Winter won the Nobel Chemistry Prize on Wednesday for applying the principles of evolution to develop enzymes used to make everything from biofuels to medicine, AFP reported.

Arnold, just the fifth woman to clinch chemistry’s most prestigious honour, won one half of the nine million Swedish kronor (about $1.01 million or

870,000 euros) award, while Smith and Winter shared the other half.

“The 2018 Nobel Laureates in Chemistry have taken control of evolution and used it for purposes that bring the greatest benefit to humankind,” the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences said. The trio used the same principles of evolution -- genetic change and selection -- to develop proteins used in a range of fields.

“They have applied the principles of Darwin in test tubes. They have used the

molecular understanding we have of the evolutionary process and recreated the process in their labs,” the head of the Academy’s Nobel Chemistry committee, Claes Gustafsson, told reporters.

“They have been able to make evolution many 1000s of times faster and redirect it to create new proteins.” Arnold, 62, who has survived breast cancer and is a single mother to three sons, is a professor of chemical engineering at the California Institute of

Technology.

Her method of rewriting DNA to mimic evolution has helped solve problems such as replacing toxic chemicals like fossil fuels.

As a result, renewable resources like sugar cane are being converted into biofuels. More environmentally friendly chemical substances are being developed, improving everyday products such as laundry and dishwashing detergents to enhance their performance in cold temperatures.

“The most beautiful, complex, and functional objects on the planet have been made by evolution. We can now use evolution to make things that no human knows how to design,” Arnold said in 2016.

“Evolution is the most powerful engineering method in the world, and we should make use of it to find new biological solutions to problems,” she said.

“Instead of pumping oil out of the ground for making gasoline, now we can use sunlight stored in plants.”

Meanwhile, Smith, of

the University of Missouri, and Winter, a 67-year-old genetic engineer at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology at Cambridge, developed an “elegant method” known as phage display, where a bacteriophage -- a virus that infects bacteria -- can be used to evolve new proteins, the jury said.

Pharmaceuticals for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and inflammatory bowel diseases have resulted from their research, as well as anti-bodies that can neutralise toxins, counteract autoimmune diseases and cure metastatic cancer.

“The discoveries by George Smith and Greg Winter are having an enormous impact, particularly on medicine with antibody drugs that have fewer side effects and are more efficient,” Goran Hansson, the head of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, told reporters.

Alfred Nobel, who created the prizes in his will, was himself a chemist, and devised his famed awards in part to atone for inventing dynamite.

Dubai, Oct 3 (Agencies): President Donald Trump says Saudi Arabia’s king “might not be there for two weeks” without US military support, further increasing his pressure on one of America’s closest Mideast allies over rising oil prices, AP reported.

As crude oil prices reach a four-year high, Trump repeatedly has demanded OPEC and Saudi Arabia, the world’s biggest oil exporter, push prices down. However, analysts are warning prices could go up to $100 a barrel as the world’s production is already stretched and Trump’s sanctions on Iran’s oil industry take effect in early November.

Criticizing America’s longstanding military relationships with allies has been a hallmark of Trump’s presidential campaign and his time in office. Trump returned to that theme Tuesday night in Southaven, Mississippi, mentioning both Japan and South Korea.

However, Tr ump’s

Donald Trump

comments on Saudi Arabia implied the kingdom’s Al Saud monarchy, which oversees the holiest sites in Islam, would collapse without American military support.

“We protect Saudi Arabia — would you say they’re rich?” Trump asked the cheering crowd. “And I love the king, King Salman, but I said, ‘King we’re protecting you. You might not be there for two weeks without us.

You have to pay for your military, you have to pay.’”

Trump didn’t elaborate on when he made the comments to Saud Arabia’s 82-

year-old monarch. Trump and King Salman last shared a reported telephone call on Saturday, in which they discussed “efforts to maintain supplies to ensure the stability of the oil market and ensure the growth of the global economy,” according to the state-run Saudi Press Agency.

There was no immediate reaction Wednesday in Saudi Arabia to Trump’s remarks. Riyadh has worked to cultivate warm relations with Trump after having rocky moments with former President Barack Obama.

Saudi Arabia welcomed Trump for his first overseas trip as president.

Trump’s administration, particularly his son-in-law Jared Kushner, has sought a close relationship with King Salman’s son Mohammed bin Salman, the country’s crown price and next in line to the throne.

But oil prices seem to be getting in the way, especially as benchmark Brent crude oil is near $85 a barrel — a four-year high.

Kuala Lumpur, Oct 3 (IANS): The wife of former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak was arrested on Wednesday on money-laundering charges related to a corruption scandal.

Rosmah Mansor, 66, was arrested by Malaysia’s Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and will face several money laundering charges, Efe news reported citing a statement.

This was Rosmah’s third appearance in front of commission after she was interrogated on June 5 and September 26.

She was questioned over the alleged diversion of funds from the state-owned 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) fund to the couple’s private accounts.

Her husband was also questioned by the police on Wednesday, having been released on bail last Friday after being charged with 25 fresh charges of moneylaundering and abuse of power.

Announcing the decision on Wednesday, the ICJ’s President Judge Abdulqawi Yusuf said: “The court considers that the US must remove, by means of its choosing, any impediment (...) to the free exportation to the territory of Iran of goods required for humanitarian needs.”

Washington was ordered to remove sanctions that would affect Iran’s civilian population, namely the ones restricting medicine and medical devices, food products and spare mechanical parts vital for infrastructure, such as spare parts for aviation maintenance.

Ileana D’cruz becomes ‘most Mac Miller family announces tribute gig The Beatles’ chief recording sensational celebrity’ on Internet engineer Geoff Emerick dies at 72 G eoff Emerick, the legendary Beatles chief recording engineer who worked on some of their most iconic recordings, has died at the age of 72.

Emerick was just 15 when he first met The Beatles at London’s nowlegendary Abbey Road studios. After impressing with his work on hits including ‘Love Me Do’, ‘I Want To Hold Your Hand’ and ‘She Loves You’, he eventually became the band’s chief engineer.

During his time in the role, he oversaw some of the group’s most iconic records – such as ‘Revolver’, ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,’ ‘The White Album’ and ‘Abbey Road’.

Confirming Emerick’s death, his manager William Zabaleta said: “Today at around 2’o’clock, I was making my way back from Arizona to Los Angeles to pick up Geoff so we could transport some gold records and platinum plaques to our show in Tucson.

A Geoff Emerick

“While on the phone, he had complications and dropped the phone. I called 911, but by the time they got there, it was too late. Geoff suffered from heart problems for a long time and had a pacemaker. … When it’s your time it’s your time. We lost a legend and a best friend to me and a mentor.”

As well as the Beatles, Emerick also worked with Paul McCartney on Wings’ 1973 album ‘Band On The Run’.

More recently, Emerick was scheduled to give a US talk later this year to celebrate the forthcoming reissue of ‘The White Album’.

Paying tribute, Julian Lennon described him as “one of a kind”.

Wings’ Denny Laine said: “Geoff was a brilliant engineer and a fine man.

Midge Ure hailed him as a “brilliant and fine man”.

ctress Ileana D’cruz has replaced comedian-actor Kapil Sharma in the top list of the “most sensational celebrity” in Indian cyberspace.

According to the twelfth edition of McAfee Most Sensational Celebrity survey, the 30-year-old actress’ name has been used by hackers to lure netizens to visit malicious websites.

Ileana is followed by actors Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Preity Zinta, Tabu, Kriti Sanon, Akshay Kumar, Rishi Kapoor, Parineeti Chopra and Govinda in the list.

“In today’s era, the entertainment industry and celebrities are bigger than ever before. Loyal fans feel the dire need to stay updated on industry news and gossip at all times. Ease of

access through a range of connected devices has made it increasingly feasible for followers to avail instant news and information on their favourite stars,” Venkat Krishnapur, Vice-President of Engineering and Managing Director, McAfee said in a statement.

He also explained how fans and followers of celebrities are falling under the trap of cyber crooks.

“While fans religiously track their icons, online security is often compromised over speed and convenience.

Cyber criminals leverage this opportunity to lure unsuspicious users by directing them to malicious links that could be used to infect devices or steal identities.

“As a precaution, consumers need to think before they click and avoid suspicious links that promise free content featuring favourite celebrities, movies, TV shows or pictures to protect themselves from cyber fraud.”

On the film front, Ileana will next be seen in upcoming Telugu film “Amar Akbar Anthony”. (IANS)

concert will go to The Mac Miller Circles Fund, which aims to offer arts resources and opportunities to young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.

“The support we’ve experienced is evident in this amazing line-up and is a testament to Malcolm’s incredible life,” said Miller’s mother Karen Meyers.

“His father, brother and I are beyond thankful to everyone who is working to make this concert happen along with every fan and every friend for continuing to support Malcolm and his vision.

“He was a caring, loving human with a smile that

could light up the sky and a soul that was out to make the world a kinder place and the MMCF will continue to do just that,” she added in a statement to Variety.

Miller was found dead in his Los Angeles home in September at the age of 26.

He had been open about his struggle with addiction in his music and in media interviews, but the results of his toxicology report are yet to be released.

Mac Miller: A Celebration of Life will take place on 31 October at Los Angeles’s Greek Theatre.

Missing Chinese actress fined for tax fraud Arctic Monkeys describe experience of playing early material

C

hinese mega star Fan Bingbing has been fined around 883 million yuan ($129m; £98.9m) for tax evasion and other offences, authorities said Wednesday.

The star, who disappeared in July, posted a long apology on social media.

Fan, who is one of China’s highest paid actors, will escape criminal charges if the fines are paid on time, said state news agency Xinhua.

The actress had been linked to a government probe into how celebrities reported earnings in their contracts.

Some film stars were alleged to have used socalled “yin-yang contracts” - a practice where one contract sets out an actor’s real earnings, and another details a lower figure, with the latter submitted to the tax authorities.

Authorities have now

ordered Fan and the companies she controls to pay the huge sum in taxes, fines and penalties.

The 37-year-old actress, who appeared in the X-Men and Iron Man film franchises, has not been seen in public since 1 July and her whereabouts have been the subject of intense speculation. Her current location is unknown but reports say she has been held in secret detention.

On Wednesday, the star posted an open apology to her tens of millions of fans on her Weibo account saying: “I’ve been suffering unprecedented pain recently… I’m so ashamed of what I’ve done.

Here, I sincerely apologise to everyone.

“I completely accept all the penalty decisions made according to law, after the investigation done by tax authorities. I will follow the order, try my best to overcome difficul-

ties, raise fund, pay taxes and fines.”

She also praised the ruling Chinese Communist Party in her statement, saying: “Without the good policies of the party and the state, and without the love of the people, there would be no Fan Bingbing.”

Fan’s agent has been detained by the police for further investigation. Her studio had previously said the star never signed “yinyang” contracts.

BBC China correspondent Robin Brant said Fan was the latest high profile figure outside of politics in China to disappear from view over allegations of corruption or tax evasion.

The actress is one of China’s most influential celebrities and last year topped Forbes magazine’s list of top Chinese celebrities with income of around 300 million yuan ($43m).

Johnny Depp discusses rocky relation with Amber

lex Turner has spoken of the strange experience of playing Arctic Monkeys‘ earlier material at gigs today, and how it “feels like they’re doing a cover” when they perform their first album.

The band are currently amidst a world tour for their acclaimed and Mercury-nominated 2018 album ‘Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino‘. Shows at recent UK dates have seen the band deliver new stripped back versions of early classics ‘Mardy Bum‘, ‘A Cer tain Romance‘ and the ‘Favourite Worst Nightmare’ single ‘Fluorescent Adolescent‘ in fitting with their new space-age, esoteric and piano-led sound.

Now in a new interview, frontman Turner has discussed his changing relationship with airing older tracks.

Amber Heard and Johny Depp

ohnny Depp has addressed allegations that he physically abused ex-wife Amber Heard once more.

As the pair battled for divorce in 2016, Heard alleged that Depp had been physically abusive during their relationship.

Depp denied all claims of domestic violence, and the pair later settled their divorce and the domestic abuse case.

But Depp has now discussed the allegations once more – and claims that a deleted photo shows that Heard did not have a bruise on her face after he was accused of throwing a K Y M C

mobile phone at her.

“She was at a party the next day,” Depp said in a new interview with British GQ.“Her eye wasn’t closed. She had her hair over her eye, but you could see the eye wasn’t shut.

Twenty-five feet away from her, how the fuck am I going to hit her? Which, by the way, is the last thing I would’ve done. I might look stupid, but I ain’t fucking stupid.”

Elsewhere he also discussed a controversial Rolling Stone interview from earlier this year – which claimed that Depp faced huge financial problems and a large reliance on

alcohol.

Branding the interview a “sham”, he said: “[the journalist] walked in with absolutely one intention. And I could see it and I thought maybe I could help him understand, you know?”

Singling out Rolling Stone co-founder Jann Wenner for criticism, he added: ” I trusted what the magazine stood for, or what it used to stand for. I wanted Jann to see if he could write, to see if a piece could be written… to put things in perspective.

That’s all, just to put things in perspective.”

However, he did go on to say that he feels there is a lyrical connection between their debut album and their most recent.

Paul Stanley on Kiss’s final tour: ‘We’re celebrating’

K

iss frontman Paul Stanley spoke to “Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon” about the band’s recent announcement that it will embark on its “farewell” tour, dubbed “One Last Kiss: End Of The Road World Tour”, in 2019. As most fans remember, back in 2000 and 2001, Kiss already performed a “Farewell Tour”. The trek, which was the last to feature drummer Peter Criss, played 142 shows over five legs, covering North America, Japan, and Australia.

“For the people who say, ‘Well, you already did a farewell tour,’ that tour was 19 years ago — 19 years ago!” Stanley said.

“Bands don’t last 19 years.

And when we did that tour, it really was because the members of the band were miserable, [and] I was miserable. It seemed like the best thing to do was to put the horse down, so to speak.

It wasn’t till afterwards that it became clear to me, and should have been all along, that the band should continue. It was just the misery of being with the members at that time was just overwhelming and turned it into drudgery. The difference this time [is] the band gets along great — we see each other, we spend time

together, we look forward to being together. It’s just reached a point where we needed to have an endgame in place.”

He continued: “If we were on stage in track shoes and jeans playing rock and roll songs, that would be… yeah, we could do that into our… forget about 70s; we could do that into our 80s.

But we’re carrying around 30-, 40-plus pounds of equipment, whether it’s boots and guitars and what have you, and running around, and making it look pretty easy. So I think the elephant in the room became bigger and bigger, and we just needed to look at each other and say, ‘How are we going to put a cap on

this?’ So I think this made a lot of sense. And the ‘End Of The Road’ is absolutely the end of the band touring, doing anything with that kind of regularity. We wanna go out and do the greatest show we can, and we virtually have thrown out everything that has been on stage for the past 10 years, at least, and created a whole new stage an a whole new show. So this really is the best show we could under the best circumstances. We’re not crawling to the finish line; we’re celebrating.”

Rumors of Kiss’s final run of live shows gained strength several months ago following the news that the band was attempting to trademark the phrase “The End Of The Road.”

An application from Kiss was filed in February to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, which means that the band could use it in connection with “live performances by a musical band.”

Gene Simmons recently told Sweden’s Expressen newspaper that Kiss’s next tour will last three years.

Calling it the band’s “most spectacular tour ever,” the bassist/vocalist added that the trek will make stops on “all continents.”

have been in the meantime in between,” Turner says. “The first couple of records, a lot of it was explicitly about exact renderings of real events that had happened. After that I sort of scurried away from that kind of style, or at least being that explicit about it.

“I got more ingested in other areas of writing lyrics, or trying to write in different ways.

This time around, it seemed to have some of that essence of being as straight and direct as it was in the very beginning.”

W h i l e t h e b a n d ’s scheduled UK dates are currently wrapped up, Arctic Monkeys are among the acts rumoured to headline Glastonbury 2019, as well as being tipped to potentially top the bill at Reading & Leeds next year.

Rajkot, Oct 3 (IANS): After two consecutive away series defeats, India will be desperate to taste victory when they take on an inexperienced West Indies in the first Test of the twomatch series at the Saurashtra Cricket Association stadium, starting here on Thursday.

The Virat Kohli-led team India suffered a disastrous 1-4 defeat at the hands of England after enduring a 1-2 series loss against South Africa earlier this year.

Nagaland Post, Dimapur THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2018

After this home series, India is scheduled to tour Australia and therefore, Kohli and the team management will try their best to shed their shortcomings before the next big series.

On Thursday, as openers Murali Vijay and Shikhar Dhawan have been axed from the squad, young Mumbai batsman Prithvi Shaw is all set to receive his maiden Test cap to open the innings with KL Rahul.

Moreover, after a decent show in first-class cricket,

Karnataka opener Mayank Agarwal has been included in the Indian side. However, Mayank is likely to be left out on Thursday but might get a chance in the second Test at Hyderabad.

Wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant too will feature in the playing eleven as skipper Kohli has hinted that he is against making too many changes in the lower-middle order. “We have a change at the top of the order. We will give these guys enough space and enough chances

to feel comfortable at that position. We want them to be confident of what they are doing,” Kohli had said at the pre-match press conference. “The lower-order is all about contribution, there is no change needed there.

Rishabh (Pant) is new but Ashwin and Jadeja have performed in so many games at home they just need to replicate it abroad,” he added.

In the bowling department, Kohli is likely stick to three spinners -- Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav. Umesh Yadav and Mohammad Shami will lead the pace attack in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who have been rested for the short series. Hanuma Vihari impressed everyone in the last Test against England at The Oval after a fighting 56 on debut. He however, seems not to find a place in the first Test as the team will play with five specialist bowlers. On the other hand, the Jason Holder-led Caribbean side boasts of some talented cricketers in their squad but lacks the required experience to challenge the No. 1

West Indies had last won a Test series against India in 2002 and it looks difficult for them to beat Kohli’s men at their own backyard.

Both teams continued to attack in the first half and in the 20th minute, Nandhakumar had a great chance to hand Dynamos the lead but his shot sailed over the crossbar. The hosts continued to bombard the opposition box and the breakthrough finally came in the 41st minute.

Marcos Tebar played the ball to Rana Gharami and the 27-year old defender took a

brilliant long-range shot to beat FC Pune City keeper Vishal Kaith to score the opener. It was an impressive effort from the former Mohun Bagan footballer and the keeper had no chance as the ball crashed into the top left corner.

The second half was not much different as FC Pune City continued to chase the game but Dynamos looked comfortable while defending. With Brazilian midfielder Marcelinho missing the match due to

Williams will be playing in Australia for the first time since winning the 2017 Australian Open while eight weeks pregnant, having missed last year’s tournament as she was not fully fit to return following the birth of daughter Olympia.

“I firmly deny the accusations being issued against me,” tweeted Ronaldo, who plays for Juventus in Italy’s Serie A. “Rape is an abominable crime that goes against everything that I am and believe in.”

“Keen as I may be to clear my name I refuse to feed the media spectacle created by people seeking to promote themselves at my expense,” he said. My clear conscious (sic) will thereby allow me to await with tranquillity the results of any and all investigations,” he added.

However, the persistence from FC Pune City finally paid off in the 88th minute as substitute Diego Carlos received a measured ball from Alfaro right in front of the goal and the Brazilian made no mistake in finding the back of the net. The hosts did have a couple of chances to score in the last few minutes but Pune were able to withstand the pressure and the game finally ended in a draw. FC Pune City coach Miguel Angel Portugal was quite happy with the result but Dynamos coach Josep Gombau said that Dynamos deserved to win the game. “It was a good match for the spectators but I’m not happy with the result. We had a couple of chances to take the lead towards the end but we were unable to finish the game,” Gombau said in the postmatch press conference.

Verma progress Champions League: Real stunned by CSKA; City win Jayaram, at Chinese Taipei Open

(L-R) CSKA defender Kirill Nababkin, Jaka Bijol, Ilzat Akhmetov celebrate their victory. (AP/PTI) David Silva drove his shot low and hard across the Hoffenheim goal to find the net and seal a vital three points for City.

PARIS, Oct 3 (Agencies): Champions League holders Real Madrid slumped to a rare defeat in the competition as they went down 1-0 away to CSKA Moscow on Tuesday, while Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United misfired again in a 0-0 draw with Valencia, AFP reported.

While Bayern Munich were also held by Ajax, it was a happier evening for Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City as they beat Hoffenheim 2-1, and Juventus were also comfortable winners

thanks to Paulo Dybala’s hat-trick. Real were not expected to struggle in Group G as they look to continue their recent dominance of the Champions League, but Julen Lopetegui’s side went behind inside two minutes in Moscow following a mistake

by Toni Kroos.

The German’s drilled backpass turned into a gift for Nikola Vlasic, and the winger on loan from Everton fired past Keylor Navas to put CSKA ahead.

Casemiro hit the post in the first half -- one of

three attempts that found the woodwork for the visitors -but Real were weakened by the absences of Gareth Bale and Sergio Ramos, while Luka Modric started on the bench.

CSKA held on, despite having goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev sent off in injury time, and they move above Real to the top of Group G. It was only Madrid’s third defeat in the Champions League group stage this decade, but Real will nevertheless expect to bounce back next against Czech

champions Viktoria Plzen, who were crushed 5-0 by Roma. Edin Dzeko scored a hat-trick for the Italian side, with Cengiz Under and Justin Kluivert also netting.

At Old Trafford, the pressure continued to build on Mourinho as United produced another insipid attacking display in their goalless stalemate with Valencia.

They are now four games without a win, and Mourinho’s decision to recall Alexis Sanchez -- after dropping the Chilean for the weekend defeat at West Ham

United -- failed to pay off.

Dybala shines in Ronaldo absence

Mourinho’s side are second in Group H, two points behind Juventus.

Juve eased to victory against 10-man Young Boys in Turin, with Dybala scoring a hat-trick to take centre stage in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, who was serving a one-game ban.

Guardiola saw Manchester City come from behind to beat Hoffenheim in Germany in Group F. David

Silva scored three minutes from time to get the Premier League champions back on track after they started their campaign with a 2-1 home defeat against Lyon. Ishak Belfodil had put Hoffenheim ahead after just 44 seconds, but Sergio Aguero equalised in the eighth minute before Silva’s late winner.

City next face Shakhtar Donetsk, who squandered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Lyon in France, in a game played behind closed doors. Brazilian forward Junior Moraes scored twice for Shakhtar, but Lyon fought back to draw with goals from Moussa Dembele and Leo Dubois.

It was a good result for Lyon, whose fans were missing as a punishment for trouble at a game against CSKA last season, and they now top the group. Meanwhile, Bayern could not hang on to the early lead given to them against Ajax when Mats Hummels headed in Arjen Robben’s cross. Young fullback Noussair Mazraoui equalised to give the Dutch side a 1-1 draw. Those sides are level atop Group E ahead of Benfica, who won 3-2 in a thriller at AEK Athens with Alfa Semedo scoring the deciding goal.

Ajay Jayaram

Taiwan, Oct 3 (IANS/ Agencies): Indian men’s singles shuttlers Ajay Jayaram and Sourabh Verma advanced to the second round of the Chinese Taipei Open here on Wednesday.

Jayaram edged past Hashiru Shimono of Japan 18-21, 21-17, 21-9 in a marathon match of around one hour while Verma beat local player Chia Hao Lee 18-21, 21-16, 21-13 in a 52 minutes match.

After dropping the first game, Jayaram bounced back in the second and then outplayed his opponent in the third game to advance.

Same thing happened to Verma as well. He lost the first game and then bounced back in style to clinch the issue. Jayaram, who had reached the finals at Vietnam Open and White Nights set up a second-round

clash with Denmark’s Kim Bruun. However, young Sri Krishna Priya Kudaravalli couldn’t cross the opening hurdle, despite giving her everything as she went down 21-23, 20-22 to Lin Ying Chun of Chinese Taipei.

Among others, Abhishek Yeligar and Mugdha Agrey too flopped in the opening round as they went down without a fight.

While Abhishek was shown the door by fifth seed Jan O Jorgensen of Denmark 5-21, 6-21 in men’s singles, seventh-seed Soniia Cheah of Malaysia ended Mugdha’s campaign with a 21-11, 21-4 win.

India’s Tarun Kona and his Malaysian partner Lim Khim Wah also suffered the same fate, losing 13-21, 10-21 to fourth-seeded Ong Yew Sin and Teo Ee Yi of Malaysia.
