PM defends economy, says slowdown ‘exaggerated’

NEW DELH, COT 4 (AGENCIES): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday refuted criticism of his government’s handling of the economy, stating a “handful of people” are trying to spread a contagion of pessimism based on the slowdown of the last economic quarter, when growth slowed to 5.7 per cent, the lowest in three years.

The government, Modi said, did not deny that growth had slid in the April-June quarter, but said it was “committed and capable” of reversing the setback and “ready to take decisions.”

PM Modi said this while addressing company secretaries at inauguration of Golden Jubilee Year of the Institute of Company Secretaries (ICSI) in Delhi.

His comments came hours after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) sharply revised its growth projection to 6.7 per cent for the current fiscal, from 7.3 per cent earlier, due to lower kharif foodgrain production and disruptions arising from the implementations of GST. Hitting out at previous dispensation and economic slowdown critics, Prime Minister Modi said the country’s economy had witnessed a growth for three continuous years after the BJP formed the government at the Centre. “Dip in

COB asserted that it had been the unwavering stand of NPF that solution should be “inclusive of all stakeholders”.

Further, COB also appealed to the NSCN (K) “to renounce violence” and return to the negotiating table with the government of India, saying it was the ardent desire of the Naga people.

economic growth in one quarter has boosted pessimists; not first time growth has dipped to 5.7 per cent in any quarter,” he said.

Last month, data released by the Central Statistics Office showed that the economic growth slowed to 5.7 per cent in the first quarter of 2017-18 against 6.1 in the preceding quarter. This figures were sharply below market expectations and came on the back of large-scale destocking undertaken by manufacturers ahead of the GST rollout and the lingering impact of demonetisation. Reiterating his praise for demonetisation, Modi said the cash to GDP ratio has come down to 9 per cent after demonetisation and that it was 12 per cent before November 9, 2016.

“GDP growth dipped to 5.7 per cent or below eight times dur-

ing UPA regime when nation was faced with high inflation, CAD and fiscal deficit,” PM said, adding that double digit inflation has come down to less than three per cent with current account deficit and fiscal deficit being brought down to 2.5% and 3.5%, respectively.

Allaying fears of dwindling economic growth, Modi asserted that fundamentals of Indian economy remain strong and that the reform process will continue keeping financial stability in mind.

“Decisions of the govt will take the country to the next league,” Modi said, referring to his government’s decisions of demonetisation and Goods and Services Tax (GST).

With critics mounting pressure on the present dispensation over the ‘hasty’ implementation of the indirect tax reform, Modi assured that he has directed GST Council to review bottlenecks, technological hindrances. “Government ready for changes to ease any bottlenecks in GST,” he said.

Defending his government’s decision to demonetise higher currency notes, Modi said, “The government very well understands the value of your hard earned money and our policies and schemes are focused at bettering life of poor and middle class.”

GUWAHATI, OCT 4 (AGENCIES): Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad and Assam minister Himanta Biswa Sarma will spearhead BJP’s efforts to win at least 20 Lok Sabha seats from Northeast India in 2019, including 13 held currently by opposition parties.

According to the ET report, BJP president Amit Shah has drawn up big plans for the eight states of Northeast India.

The BJP had floated a platform of non-Congress parties, the Northeast Democratic Alliance (NEDA), with a roadmap to increase its seats from the region.

Northeast, including Sikkim, sends 25 MPs to the Lok Sabha.

BJP’s strategist for Northeast and NEDA convener, Himanta Biswa Sarma, told ET: “Ravi Shankar Prasad will look after five Lok Sabha seats in Assam which were won by the opposition in 2014, while I will look after seven Lok Sabha seats spread across the region.”

He added, “Other seats are being looked after by our MPs. We have a target of winning 20 seats from the region and we are working in this regard. We are targeting our biggest ever seat tally in Northeast India.”

BJP president Amit Shah will spend a considerable time in reviewing the poll preparedness in the region.

NSMDC statement most shocking: NPRAAF

Photos of two bridges downloaded from NSMDC’s website, constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 41.26 cr. (NPRAAF)

DIMAPUR, OCT 4 (NPN): Nagaland Public Rights Awareness and Action Forum (NPRAAF) has termed the clarification issued by Nagaland State Mineral Resources Development Corporation (NSMDC) Ltd as “most shocking” on the issue over alleged Double Drawal Authority for construction of RCC bridge across Tizu river in Nimi-Laluri Mineral Link Road.

Maintaining that it was not a new thing for the state government to flout all rules in running the affairs of the state, NPRAAF reminded that NSMDC was a corporation and an undertaking like the NIDC, KVIB, KVIC, NH&HC Ltd etc., which are not government departments. To this, the forum demanded to know from the state government “under what norms did it allowed a non-governmental-departmental body to honour monetary claims directly from the Government

Treasury? Under which rule, state assembly resolution or cabinet decision has it been stated/passed that a corporation like NSMDC could directly claim Drawal Authority (DA) from the Treasury?”

Since the Geology & Mining department had clarified that it had nothing to do with sanction/drawal and implementation of the work for construction of road/bridge, NPRAAF has asked the state government/Finance department to clarify on this issue as to how a corporation was allowed to directly draw money from the government treasury.

“How can the state government allow NSMDC to act as a government?” it questioned.

On the claims that it (NSMDC) had requisite technical manpower to carry out construction of roads and bridges, NPRAAF however pointed out that the website site of NSMDC showed that there were

NSF suggests measures for strict NSVDBA rebuffs ACAUT charges implementation of ILP in Nagaland DIMAPUR, OCT 4 (NPN): Drawing the attention of the state government towards the issue of illegal immigrants and issuance of Inner Line Permit (ILP), the Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) has expressed concern over the impending threat of influx of non-locals and illegal immigrants into Nagaland and the slack implementation of Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation (BERF) Act of 1873.

In a memorandum addressed to the chief secretary, the NSF president, Kesosul Christopher Ltu, and general secretary, Imtiyapang Imsong, stated that the many provisions of the BERF Act of 1873 were becoming irrelevant in present context.

In this regard, the federation has submitted “terms and condition” to be incorporated in fram-

ing of a new modality for implementation of Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation (BERF) Act of 1873, which included territorial coverage, documents to be produced while applying ILP, undertaking, validity of ILP and administrative mechanism.

With regard to ILP territorial coverage, the NSF suggested that Dimapur district should come under the purview of ILP regulation.

Concerning the documents required for obtaining ILP, the NSF has classified the ILP applicants into two groups – mainland Indians and applicants from Assam – and listed out documents that needed to be produced

by ILP applicants.

On validity of ILP, NSF said a maximum of 15 days should be granted.

On administrative mechanism, the NSF sug-

gested setting up separate ILP monitoring cell in each and every district headed by additional deputy commissioner (ADC).

Among others, the federation suggested installation of CCTV at main entry and exit points.

Fur ther, NSF also urged the state government to initiate sensitization programmes with the village councils, town/ward/colony leaders and apex tribal bodies in all the districts. It said that the government should empower local bodies for the successful implementation of the ILP system in Nagaland.

Dismayed by the lackadaisical approach of the government towards the implementation and regulation of the ILP, the federation has demanded for “a prompt and sagacious action” within 30 days.

DIMAPUR, OCT 4 (NPN): Rejecting ACAUT’s objection to the issues it had raised over the implementation of Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system, the Nagaland State VDB Association (NSVDBA) has termed as “most unfortunate and uncalled for” the allegation of ACAUT that association was having “nefarious intention and sinister design”.

In a press release, NSVDBA general secretary, Manthungo Kikon, said the issue was discussed at the general meeting with the representatives from all the 11 districts on September 28, 2017.

The association reminded ACAUT that every bona fide resident of villages was member of VDBs general body and a VDB secretary was appointed from amongst the bona fide members with the decision of the village council and VDBs general body. It said that if there was any corruption charges against the VDB secretary the village authority had every power to take action against the responsible VDB secretary. Therefore, the association said that ACAUT terming

the VDBs as corrupt implied that the whole villagers were corrupt, which it said was “not at all appropriate.” It advised ACAUT to desist from making such wild allegations that defamed the entire rural communities.

NSVDBA asserted that in the first place it had not objected to state governments’ plan to implement DBT under MGNREGA in the state. However, due to practical complexity, NSVDBA said it had requested the department to give some time and not to make compulsory the implementation of DBT until such time all the job card holders were able to open their respective bank accounts. Its contention, NSVDBA said was that implementation of DBT at this juncture would have serious impact in the successful implementation programme.

Seeking to validate the ground realities, the NSVDBA pointed out that the government issued a notification for opening a bank account to be linked to job card in the year 2016 and RD officials have been sensitising it for the past one year, .

at the earliest.

Apart from representatives of the three firms, the meeting was attended by Municipal Affairs parliamentary secretary, Zhaleo Rio accompanied by board of directors, Kohima Smart City Development Ltd. namely Khupi Natso, E-in-C PWD; Rajesh Soundararajan, DC Kohima; KD Vizo, commr & secy IT & Power; Dr. Toshimanen Ozukum, HoD Municipal Affairs and Kezhochole Rhetso, asst. director Urban Development.

KOHIMA, OCT 4 (NPN): Concerned Chee Forum (CCF) comprising of four villages of Sheanghah has vehemently condemned the heinous crime of rape committed on a 15-year old minor girl of class VII. Concerned Chee Forum president Nockyam Wangnao in a condemnation note stated that the accused, Nizhalhou Kuotsu of Medziphema town had allegedly raped the minor girl and threatened her of dire consequences if she revealed the crime to anyone.

Therefore, the forum has appealed to the law enforcing authority to award befitting punishment against the accused so that such crime does not occur in future.

Meanwhile, when contacted, Addl. DCP & PRO Dimapur police informed that the accused identified as one Nizhalhou Kuotsu (39), a resident of Medziphema town, was arrested in this connection. Police arrested the accused on October 2 after the victim’s family filed a police compliant at Women police station Dimapur. PRO said that the medical test report was awaited.

Police also informed that the accused admitted that he had committed the crime on three occasions.

The victim’s family said that the 15-year old was brought to Medziphema for studies during the early part of 2017.

only seven persons with Bachelor of Engineering (BE) specializing in Mining, Chemical, Civil, Metallurgy, Mechanical, Electrical and few Diploma holders in CE, Mining and Mine Surveying and B.Tech (Ceramic). Though some of the employees were no more in service, NPRAAF said it was also surprised to note that one of the JE’s (Civil) educational qualification was surprisingly only “appeared HSLC” at the time of appointment in 1978.

With only handful of employees whose qualifications were primarily related with mining and surveying, the forum said it was quite absurd that NSMDC claimed to have the requisite technical manpower to construct roads and bridges. In this regard, the forum asked NSMDC as to how many competent technical persons were there to handle such huge project and amount?

Petrol, diesel price slashed

New Delhi, Oct 4 (PTI): Petrol price was on Wednesday cut by Rs 2.5 per litre and diesel by Rs 2.25 following the reduction in excise duty on auto fuels. The government had cut excise duty on petrol and diesel by Rs 2 per litre each on Tuesday to moderate the relentless rise in fuel prices over the last three months. IOC Director (Finance) A K Sharma said the cut in retail selling price is higher after factoring in its impact on VAT.

States urged to cut VAT on fuel

NEW DELHI, OCT 4 (Agencies): Union Oil minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Wednesday said that petroleum ministry has urged the states to slash Value Added Tax on petrol and diesel by 5%, a day after the Centre cut excise duty on fuel to protect retail consumers from high global crude oil prices. “States are the biggest beneficiary.

They get all of the VAT collection plus they also get 42% of central excise collections.

The amount remaining with the Centre is used to finance CSS in states,” Pradhan said.

He further added that Finance minister will write to chief ministers in this regard.

DC Dmu issues directives to GBs

DIMAPUR, OCT 4 (NPN): Following growing concerns raised by various quarters over “demographic imbalance” purportedly caused by the settlement of suspected illegal immigrants, DC Dimapur, Kesonyu Yhome, through an order, has directed all GBs under Dimapur district to initiate action plan. The GBs have been asked to report of any abnormal movement/entry of group of migrants/immigrant within 24 hours to the district administration without fail. It has also directed the GBs to make an assessment of the number of non-Nagas living in respective colonies/wards/villages by way of maintaining a record of all such households and submit the report on or before November 30, 2017. The DC said that since the plains of Dimapur was “outside the purview of the ILP regime”, a proper record-keeping be prepared without causing undue harassment to genuine citizens of India.

Revamp NPSC exam system: PSAN

DIMAPUR, OCT 4 (NPN): Taking serious note of anomalies detected in the NPSC marking system, the Public Service Aspirants of Nagaland (PSAN) in a representation to the state government has asked the latter to revamp the NPSC examination process. In a letter to the chief secretary, PSAN accused NPSC of practising “unethical and random marking system”. PSAN said it was constrained to set up a committee to study the loopholes and find out areas of improvement in the NPSC examination system. After thorough research and deliberation, the committee found that the prevalent marking system in the NPSC viva-voce exams was “prejudiced, unrealistic and does not reflect the calibre of the highest recruiting body.”(Full text on p-6) K Y M C

Nagaland joins MoHFW’s immunization mission

Dr. Longri addressing the gathering at Kohima. (NP) KOHIMA, OCT 4 (NPN): Sate Health & Family Welfare (H&WF) department would be working to achieve immunization coverage target by December 2018 as per Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoH&FW) government of India’s directive.

It maybe be noted that with the aim to accelerate the full immunization coverage and provide greater focus on urban areas and other pockets of low immunization coverage, MoH&FW has drawn up an aggressive action plan to achieve the target by 2018. According to the plan, states accross the country would conduct Intensified Mission Indradhanush (IMI) drives for seven working days from 7th day of every month starting from October 7, 2017 for four consecutive months excluding Sundays, holidays and routine immunization days.

In this regard, National Health Mission (NHM) suppor ted by UNICEF organised a sensitization workshop on IMI with me-

dia and stakeholders on Wednesday at Hotel Vivor, Kohima.

In her keynote address additional director, family welfare, Dr. Tia Jamir, urged the media and stakeholders to play a pivotal role in sensitizing and creating awareness in both urban and rural areas with special emphasis on rural and remote areas.

He said Nagaland was behind other states in all parameters when it comes to health related immunization programmes due to lack of awareness. Jamir urged the NGOs and Churches to come forward and work hand in hand with the department as the department alone cannot fulfill the aims and objectives to achieve 90% target by December 2018.

The additional director informed that eleven districts in the state have been placed under non-performing districts under IMI which was launched in 2015.

NNC condemns ‘cross border ops’

DIMAPUR: Naga National Council (NNC) has condemned what it described as “the so called ‘Cross Border Operations’ by the Government of India against the Nagas on the other side of Eastern Nagaland or Myanmar-occupied Nagaland.” In a press note, NNC president, ‘gen.’ (retd) Thinoselie M Keyho, said that “mighty India should be ashamed of what she is trying to do to the Nagas who are not her enemies.” NNC stated that the policy strategists in Delhi were underestimating the implications of their smart “surgical strikes”. It maintained that the “crude show of force” against the Nagas and government of Myanmar and its people was “arrogantly reckless and will prove to be counterproductive.” Saying India must know that it would have a wide long range of unknown consequences, which would be regretted later, the NNC said the action would not deter the Nagas from defending their sovereignty.

The meeting was attended by representatives from education department, social welfare department and Rotary Club.

PHEK: District workshop on intensified mission

UNICEF consultant Nagaland, Dr. Longri, said lack of awareness and fear of vaccination were two reasons why the children were not getting vaccinated.

He said there was need to build up the level of advocacy and added that the targeted people in IMI are the “left out” children, the “drop out’s” and the “resistant’s”. NHM Media officers from various districts, church organizations, department officials and others attended the workshop. In the programme, SPO, NAM Dr. Thangoilam said vote of thanks.

NPRAAF takes on Police, Finance department

DIMAPUR: Nagaland Public Rights Awareness and Action Forum (NPRAAF) through its information and publicity cell has again highlighted another instance of alleged irregularity in use of funds and this time by the Police Department.

NPRAAF disclosed that the Finance Department till October 3, 2017 had released a total of Rs.26.09 crore to the Police department for securityrelated works.

One of the disclosures made by NPRAAF was that Rs.17.85 crore released to Police for NAP/IRB deployment in New Delhi and other states of which Rs.4.56 crore was released in September 2017 for deployment and withdrawal of NAP personnel from duties in New Delhi. However, the angry jawans prior to departure from Delhi protested openly against the “improper/poor treatment” meted out to them as reported in some local dailies on September 23,2017.

NPRAAF termed the mutinous mood of the jawans as a shame and accused the state government of precipitating the agitation in the railway station.

NPRAAF said Rs. 4.23 crore (December 19, 2016) and Rs.3.13 crore (January 24, 2017) were released by the Finance department for deployment of police for assembly election duties in five statesP u n j a b, M a n i p u r, G o a , Uttarkhand and Uttar Pradesh.

It pointed out that on November 3,2016 the Finance department released Rs.1.28 crore for Assam by election; Rs.4.34 crore on July 7,2016 for deployment of 13 IRB to Purulia West Bengal and withdrawal of 12 IRB from Purulia. In addition police department was allotted Rs.29 lakh on June 6, 2016 for deployment for the Rath Yatra Festival in Gujarat.

In all, a total of Rs.17.85 crore was released for the above security-related duties by police during the two years 2016-17 but NPRAAF alleged, that the police personnel were not given what was due to them.

Despite releasing such huge amount, NPRAAF said “if the Nagaland Police department cannot give proper treatment to its personnel performing duties outside the state, then it has to be answerable to the public on trans-

parent utilization of the funds received.” It also cautioned the Police department against mistreating its jawans but to treat them properly while in the line of duty.

Civic polls: Further, the forum said that the FD had released Rs 7.73 cr “for deployment of police personnel for Municipal Election in all districts of the state.”

Though the civic body polls were supposed to be held on February 1, 2017, the government however called off owing to widespread public protest, it said. In most of the places, nominations were not even filed and many withdrew nominations, thus cutting down expenses for police personnel on duty. Since elections were not held at all, NPRAAF questioned the Police department whether it had utilized the entire amount released by the FD? “If not, was the unutilized amount deposited back to the government Treasury?” it questioned.

The for um sought clarification from the Police department, regarding how much amount was utilized and how much amount was left since it was not possible to have used the entire amount

when elections were not held at all.

Bye-poll: During the recently held bye-election to the 10 Northern Angami-I A/c on July 29, the forum said that the FD had released Rs 50.83 lakh for deployment of police personnel.

Out of the total amount, Rs 15.79 lakh was released on August 16, 2017 by the FD “for payment of TA/DA to the 10th IR Battalion & PHQ” while Rs 35. 04 lakh was released on July 25, 2017) “for expenses to be incurred for bye election to 10 NA-1 A/C.” NPRAAF wondered whether the IRB jawans got their due share of TA/DA? And how much amount was each jawan given as their TA/DA? It said that if Rs 15.79 lakh was for payment of TA/DA, “then for what kind of ‘expenses’ was the amount of Rs 35.04 lakh released and utilized?” the forum questioned.

Since there was no break-up/details provided in the Drawal Authority for Rs 35.04 lakh, the forum asked the Police department/FD to clarify on this “expenses” and quote the TA/DA amount given to each jawan.

Give jobs to youth as promised: Rahul to PM

Rahul Gandhi gest issue here is of giving employment to the youth...

Modiji could not do so and this is the truth.” He added, “the whole country knows that this man (Modi) had promised to give employment to 2 crore people but it is not in his capacity (to do so)....but the bad effect of it is that anger among the youth is rising, they want to work for the country but they are not getting an opportunity and farmers are committing suicide.”

Commenting on the employment scene, Gandhi said in India, 30,000 youth start looking for jobs every year, out of whom only 400 to 450 get it.

“Competition of the country is with China...I want to present statistics.

While 400 get employment opportunities here, in China every day 50,000 youth get employment,” he said, adding that if India has to compete with China “we have to start working on Made in India,

States told to check food adulteration: Ram Vilas Paswan

UP BJP spokesperson Rakesh Tripathi, while reacting to Gandhi’s comments, said, “The people of Amethi want a solution to their local issues and problems. But, Rahul Gandhi sang the same old tune around note ban and GST.” “Gandhi is worried over the spate of development activities in Amethi and Rae Bareli launched by BJP. Moreover, the news of BJP chief Amit Shah going to Amethi has increased his tension,” Tripathi said.

Mumbai, Oct 4 (Agencies): Five times National award winning actor Prakash Raj took a hit out at PM Narendra Modi on Sunday over his silence on the murder of journalist Gauri Lankesh in Bengaluru. Raj was speaking at the inauguration of the 11th State meet of the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) where he said that he could tell when those in powerincluding PM Narendra Modi were ‘acting’ and he felt like giving his national awards back.

The case has been registered against the actor in a Lucknow court on a complaint lodged by a lawyer over his critical remarks on Prime Minister. The case is scheduled to be heard on October 7.

On Monday, Raj stirred up a storm after questioning

Prakash Raj the ‘absolute silence’ of PM Modi on those ‘celebrating’ the killing of journalist Gauri Lankesh. The actor, a close friend of the Lankesh family, said the prime minister and others were acting as if nothing had happened despite having social media followers celebrating the killing on social media.

“Who killed my dear friend Gauri is not as important to me today as who has been celebrating

her death. There may not be proof as to who killed Gauri but we can see who is celebrating it and from this we can form an idea of who could have killed her. The underlying cruelty in all of this is apparent to many people. Many of those celebrating Gauri’s death are persons followed by the Prime Minister on social media. The PM has been absolutely silent about these people,” Raj said at the Bengaluru event.

He also said,“When we see these people going around acting as if nothing has happened, I feel like giving them the five National Awards I have won for acting.”

“Look I am a seasoned actor, can I not see through the acting? Give me some respect. Am I stupid? Are people foolish that they can-

not see through all this? Are the youth of today blind?

The time has come for Modi to understand this,” Raj continued.

While speaking about politicians Raj said,”I saw a video, I couldn’t tell if he was Uttar Pradesh chief minister or a temple priest.

Looks like he plays a double role. When I see such talented actors, I feel like giving them all five National Awards that were given to me. Let’s not be afraid of such people. They are not stronger than us. Our weakness is their strength,” as per reported in Indian Express.

Prakash Raj is a prominent name in Kannada, Telugu, Tamil and Hindi film industries. He has won five National Film Awards for his incredible body of work in the movies.

5 constitution benches of SC to hear matters from Oct 10

New Delhi, Oct 4 (PTI): Five constitution benches of the Supreme Court would start hearing from October 10 five key issues, including the power tussle between the Centre and Delhi government over administrative jurisdiction and a matter relating to passive euthanasia.

Besides these, the constitution benches, each consisting of five judges, would also deal with issues like whether a parliamentary committee report can be referred to or relied upon during judicial proceedings, how to add income for future prospects of victims in motor accident claims and whether the top court can entertain a plea for making an arbitration award a rule of the court.

The top court, through a notice published on its website, said that its

constitution benches would start hearing these matters from next Tuesday.

The court had in February 2014 referred to a constitution bench a plea favouring voluntary passive euthanasia in cases where a person is suffering from terminal illness and has no chance of revival and recovery as per the medical opinion.

The court would consider the prayer of an NGO, Common Cause, to declare ‘right to die with dignity’ as a Fundamental Right within the fold of Right to Live with dignity guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution.

A constitution bench would also hear the matter relating to the tug-ofwar between the Centre and the Delhi government over the administration of the National Capital Territory.

The Delhi High Court had on August 4 last year declared the Lieutenant Governor as the administrative head of the national capital against which the city government has moved the apex court.

Another constitution bench would hear the issue whether a parliamentary committee report could be referred to or relied upon during judicial proceedings before the top court.

The matter had cropped up when a two-judge bench on April 5 this year was hearing a PIL seeking to quash licencing of two vaccines for cervical cancer treatment as the approval for their use was done without adequate research on safety. It had referred to certain reports of parliamentary panels.

Panchkula (Haryana), Oct 4 (IANS): Jailed Dera sect chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh’s close aide Honeypreet Insan was on Wednesday sent to six days police remand by a court in Panchkula.

The Haryana Police had sought 14 days police remand.

Earlier in the day, Honeypreet was produced in the court here, a day after her arrest in adjoining Punjab. Court sources said that Honeypreet was in tears before the court and pleaded with folded hands that she was innocent.

The prosecution sought police remand for Honeypreet, saying she was the closest aide of the rapist sect chief and knew many things about the activities of the sect and its role in the violence in Panchkula and other places after the August 25 conviction of Ram Rahim on two counts of rape.

BJP hits back

New Delhi, Oct 4 (IANS): The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) on Wednesday denied there has been a security breach of its database, following reports that data of some 6,000 Indian businesses and government agencies was up for sale on Internet.

The reported breach “does not contain any confidential data of UIDAI and has not affected any services provided by the authority”, said a statement from the Unique Identification Authority of India, a statutory authority collecting and maintaining the world’s largest biometric ID system.

Over 117 crore Indians were said to have enrolled for Aadhaar till August 14 this year for direct transfer of financial benefits and other subsidies and services by the government.

“The Unique Identification Authority of India constantly strengthens and reviews its infrastructure and ecosystems in line with the best international security practices and technological standards and have multi-layered security and privacy considerations built into the core strategy of Aadhaar with three basic doctrines of minimal information, optimal ignorance and federated database which give higher level of security,” the statement said.

New Delhi, Oct 4 (IANS): Union Consumer Affairs Minister Ram Vilas Paswan on Wednesday said he has written to Chief Ministers of all states asking them to take measures to check food adulteration and sale of substandard jewellery during the festive season. “This is festive season and people buy a lot of sweets as well as jewellery.

But in these days, cases of food adulteration and selling of substandard jewellery also go up,” Paswan said here. “I have written to all Chief Ministers to curb food adulteration and ensure BIS hallmarking of jewellery.”

He also said that prices of consumer goods are under control and the common man is feeling relieved.

The letter sent to the Chief Ministers said that the central government is implementing a scheme through the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) of hallmarking of jewellery to curb substandard jewellery.

Made in Amethi, Made in Uttar Pradesh.” Attacking the government over GST, Gandhi alleged that it was implemented without proper planning and that traders were forced to fill three forms in a month, “adding more problems to their businesses”.

Contending that tax rates under GST were high, he said the tax should not be more than 18 per cent and the one proposed by the previous UPA government was on those lines.“The BJP (government) has implemented GST but they did not understand it... (they) brought five kinds of taxes as high as 28 per cent... Every state has got its different law,” the Congress leader said.

“This is a suggestion to Modiji - review GST as its aim is one-country-onetax,” he said.

Amethi (UP), Oct 4 (PTI): In a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Wednesday asked him to address the unemployment problem and farmers’ issues urgently or allow an opportunity to the Congress, saying his party will resolve these in “six months”.

Beginning a tour of his Lok Sabha constituency Amethi, the Congress vice president also slammed the government over GST, saying the tax rates are high and the slabs multiple.

He asked the prime minister to review the GST as its aim is ‘one-nation, one-tax’ and emphasised that the tax rate should not be more than 18 per cent.

Gandhi, who arrived here on a three-day visit, said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi needs to stop wasting time of the countrymen and start giving employment to the youth as promised.” He said the issues of the farmers and the youth are the two main concerns of the country and “if Modiji cannot address these, he should say so and Congress will come and do his work in six months.”

Speaking at a ‘chaupal’ (village gathering) in Kathaura village under Jagdishpur area, the Congress leader said, “Modiji talks about Make in India, Start Up India, but the big-

Nagaland Post

A

mid heightened apprehensions of influx of illegal immigrants of Bangladeshi origin to the north east; the states have yet to adopt and implement effective measures to clamp down on the growing presence of suspected aliens. The fears are valid especially in the light of the Tripura experience where the local indigenous Twipuris are minorities (25%)in their own land whereas the immigrant Bengali Hindus and Muslims from erstwhile East Pakistan(now Bangladesh) make up the dominant communities (75%). Interestingly, Nagaland had during the 2001 census recorded an abnormal population growth of 64.4%, the highest in the country and over the national average of 21.34% . Even earlier (1981-1991) the percentage was 56%, again the highest in the country.

The Nagaland census in 2011 showed a negative trend after dubious entries were detected. However, the problem of illegal immigrants is not tied up with the census since the influx is growing. The influx into Assam and subsequently to other north eastern states have made Assam the supplier of immigrants. Estimates on the number of illegal immigrants vary since it is difficult to identify them particularly in Assam, where those who have come prior to 1971 are believed to be mostly Bengali speaking Hindus. Alarmists who are vocal believe the number of immigrants could be anywhere near the 60 to 70 lakh while the Government of India estimates the number to around fifteen to sixteen lakh. Whatever be the figure of suspected illegal migrants of Bangladeshi origin currently in Assam, the matter assumes importance to the other parts of the region such as Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura, Meghalaya and to some extent, Manipur. Of particular interest and concern is the situation in Nagaland where the migrant population has shown a sharp rise. Even in Nagaland, estimates vary between two to four lakh. There has been serious concern over the issue in Nagaland during the recent decade. The issue is on how to prevent easy ingress of migrants from Assam into Nagaland. Most or all migrants enter Nagaland from Assam, with many possessing documents affirming their Indian citizenship. The majority of suspected illegal migrant Bangladeshis are employed as agricultural labourers in the foothill areas adjoining Dimapur and some other districts bordering Assam. They also make up the main labour force and have also monopolised petty trade and dealing in animal products. Many immigrants have also been adopted by the village chiefs in order to establish new villages along the inter-state boundary with Assam. A report on transmigration revealed that the rapid increase in population that remains a cause for concern was not uniform throughout the state. Wokha, bordering Golaghat in Assam, has recorded the highest growth rate in population among all the districts in the state says the report. Since Nagaland does not have a common border with Bangladesh, the migrants enter mainly via Assam with most of them posing as residents of Karimganj or Nagaon, and sometimes even carrying certificates from magistrates or medical certificates. The most serious fallout is drastic alteration of the demography and it is not a baseless fear if Assam and Tripura serve as prime examples. The state government has been showing a casual attitude towards this issue despite hue and cry by the public. If it continues, then there could be unwanted developments if some decide to take the law into their own hands.

DailyDevotion The Vision and The Reality …to those who are…called to be saints…

—1 Corinthians 1:2 Thank God for being able to see all that you have not yet been. You have had the vision, but you are not yet to the reality of it by any means. It is when we are in the valley, where we prove whether we will be the choice ones, that most of us turn back. We are not quite prepared for the bumps and bruises that must come if we are going to be turned into the shape of the vision. We have seen what we are not, and what God wants us to be, but are we willing to be battered into the shape of the vision to be used by God? The beatings will always come in the most common, everyday ways and through common, everyday people.

There are times when we do know what God’s purpose is; whether we will let the vision be turned into actual character depends on us, not on God. If we prefer to relax on the mountaintop and live in the memory of the vision, then we will be of no real use in the ordinary things of which human life is made. We have to learn to live in reliance upon what we saw in the vision, not simply live in ecstatic delight and conscious reflection upon God. This means living the realities of our lives in the light of the vision until the truth of the vision is actually realized in us. Every bit of our training is in that direction. Learn to thank God for making His demands known.

Our little “I am” always sulks and pouts when God says do. Let your little “I am” be shriveled up in God’s wrath and indignation— “I AM WHO I AM…has sent me to you” (Exodus 3:14). He must dominate. Isn’t it piercing to realize that God not only knows where we live, but also knows the gutters into which we crawl! He will hunt us down as fast as a flash of lightning. No human being knows human beings as God does.

Yemshe Festival

ntroduction: Yemshe is the premier festival of the Pochury- Naga Tribe, which is celebrated to welcome the new harvest. The arrival of the new harvest is welcome and celebrated with great fun & fair during Yemshe festival. All the Pochurires, young and old, rich and poor ceremonialised this festival with great pomp and gaiety expecting a good harvest which they deserve after a year’s hard work under stewing sun and relentless rain. No one is allowed to harvest, until the whole festival is over.

The Literal meaning of Yemshe is “Yem” which means “house” and “She/alüshe” meaning “odours”, which comes out from the cooking of the food and meats during the festival as almost all the households cook the best preserved meat and food during this season to celebrate in enthusiasm.

The period of festival: Generally, the festival begins in the latter part of September with different categories of ceremonial rituals till the final day which falls in the first week of October every year. The main function of Yemshe is observed only on 5th October keeping in tune with the closing ceremony of the long period of festivities.

The advent of the festival is announced by the village Crier (Bvifüpa). Subsequent upon the announcement, the festival starts the next day with the youth of the village cleansing all the important footpaths leading to the fields and neighbouring villages, wells, etc. and construct Basketry-cum-Resting Sheds.

For sanctification of a house, ritual feast is hosted by a rich family and the Head of the family perform all the rituals. Necessary materials used in rituals are fastened to the main post of the house entrance. Engaged couples (fiance & fiancee) renewed their relationship with exchange of food and wine and eat and drink together. It is also an occasion where many young people come to know each other and get engaged for marriage.

Hence, this festival has great importance and is therefore, an enjoyable season, especially for the young people in particularly and farmers in general.

The family hosting the sanctification feast, besides providing wine, meat, also has to host a dance party (Mükhow lungtreüm) of his (head of family) age group. The host who is able to provide everything will be called the “Yemshe Father”. He may also invite dance party from neighbouring villages and establish diplomatic ties (a necessity during those head-hunting days).

Only paddy rice is provided (not millet, maize, etc.) for food, and

mugs from which they drink wine are made of bamboo and kept in the house of the host.

Small quantities of foodstuff are also offered to the dead souls.

In remembrance of the departed and loved ones, prior to the sanctification, feast is offered lavishly by the host. The host will ask the villagers to fetch him pine-wood for lighting during the festival. Sacrificial acts, rituals, construction of bridges, ladders, collection of materials for construction of houses, etc. are done until the culmination of the festival.

The rituals: The host family who host the Purification Feast has to fulfill the following conditions before the great feast (the great closing ceremony) day.

1. The Host family of Purification Feast has to provide wine to all families of the village.

2. They have to host dance party of his (head of the family) age-group, men and women in the village and in Khel-wise as well. Feast is given to the dancers, and meat is distributed to all his age-group friends.

3. Cutting of Bamboo Mugs takes place twice. All the host’s clansmen/nephews make new bamboo mugs. They take wine from the mugs, kept with the host. All the old Mugs are collected from every house and kept in the host’s family for drinking wine.

4. Only paddy rice is arranged (not millet, maize, etc.) and distributed to all the houses by the host for cooking and later the cooked rice is again collected and redistributed to all the families in the village.

5. For reserving of frogs, one axe each for three rivers is given to the villagers as a sign of frogs in these three rivers reserved. This is followed by giving out a big feast to all the village elders. After that, it is announced in the village that frogs in these three rivers are reserved by the host of Purification feast or Yemshe Festival. Hence no other villagers should go to these rivers to catch it.

6. After wine and food is arranged, the host of the festival asks his villagers to fetch him pine-wood and he gives a big feast to the villagers. Men take 6 pieces of meat while women take only 5 pieces on the occasion.

7. All the clansmen carry well-prepared food and wine and go to the reserved rivers and make bridges/ladders for frog catchers to enable them to go to any part of the river. At the same time, they eat and drink and enjoy on their own. This is a part of many games they play during the festival.

8. A chicken is kept in a cage on a selected tree on the

way to the field. Selected group will go to that spot with dried frogs where chickens were kept and have a feast there. Every household in the village has to perform this ritual. Even the poorest family has to perform this ritual by roasting brinjal if he has no chicken.

9. It is traditionally believed that the most fertile lands were under the control of spirits.

Sacrificial rituals are therefore, performed according to the fertility of the land. For the most fertile land a Mithun has to be sacrificed, then a pig and for the less fertile land, a chicken has to be sacrificed in the field. Two big gourds (in the olden days gourds are used for water and any other liquid storage) of wine is carried, one for halfway and the other for sacrificial consumption at the spot. While coming back from their fields the group do not mix up with other groups. Thus, a Mithun group, Pig group and Chicken group shall come back home separately. Likewise, wine is also taken separately.

The final feast: After all the arrangements, like collection of green vegetables, rice, meat and performance of rituals are completed, the host selects 6 supervisors; two for washing ginger, four to supervise the butchers for preparation of the feast for the whole village. All young and old will come and help the host in preparation of the feast. In this feast, Mithun, Pigs and Chicken are slaughtered. If there is no Mithun, three pigs substitute a Mithun. Womenfolk pound rice and cook while the menfolk busy for meat, and other seemingly difficult jobs. By sundown, all the villagers, from youngest to the oldest come together to attend the great feast.

Few quantities of all sorts of foodstuff and rice grains are shared and offered to the dead souls as farewell gifts and greetings on the final Yemshe Feast.

The last day of the feast will be impressively observed as the ceremonial feast. A part from sanctification, every parent will prepare a special meal for their children called “Luchisha” to eat together with his/her best friend among friends called “Luchipa” for boys and “Luchifü” for girls who are bonded to be friends till death. On this day everyone will remain at home and no one will do anything or go on a journey.

The celebration ended with a grand festivities hoping for good harvest and prosperity.

From the very next day harvest starts and house construction materials are collected.

Representation to Chief Secretary to revamp NPSC examination system

I

n lieu of the unethical and random marking system practiced by the NPSC, as revealed in the NPSC Civil Service Examination 2015, the Public Service Aspirants of Nagaland (PSAN) was constrained to set up a committee to study the loopholes and find out areas of improvement in the NPSC examination system. After thorough research and deliberation, the committee has found that the prevalent marking system in the NPSC Viva-voce examination is prejudiced, unrealistic and does not reflect the caliber of the highest recruiting body.

Therefore, in the interest of the aspirants and the public, the PSAN is pleased to put forth the findings of the sub-committee before your competent authority for your immediate intervention and necessary action: 1) Reduce the total interview marks from the present 75 to 50.

2) In line with the system practiced by the UPSC, the NPSC should also set maximum and minimum benchmarks in the viva voce examination.

Mention may be made that the UPSC maintains a minimum of 50 per cent and a maximum of 75 percent in the viva voce with marks ranging from 140 to 206 out of the total 275 marks.

In the UPSC civil service exam 2015 and 2016, the highest mark secured was 206 out of the total 275 marks, which is calculated as 75% of the total marks. Whereas, in the NPSC Civil Service Examination 2015, many of the candidates scored more than 70 and some as high as 74.12 in the viva voce, and some as low as 28 which is calculated as maximum of 99% and minimum of 37% respectively. The current practice of awarding marks in the viva voce by the NPSC is irrational, random and unbecoming of the highest recruiting body as this exam is not a high school Mathematics examination but the highest examination in the state. Therefore, PSAN is of the proposition that NPSC should maintain a mark range of minimum 50% and a maximum of 75% in the viva voce examination.

3) As is the practice being followed by UPSC, marks scored by candidates in all the exams conducted by NPSC (NCS, NPS,NSS & Allied Services Exam, Combined Technical Exam, Common Educational Service Exam and any other examinations conducted by NPSC) should be declared on the day of result declaration.

4) Mains marks should be kept out of NPSC Board mem-

Empowering Teachers for achieving SDGs

T

here is no alternate to sustainable development and it is must and essential for sustainable future. There are certain goals framed by United Nations to achieve sustainable development .Well, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), otherwise known as the Global Goals, are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. These 17 Goals build on the successes of the Millennium Development Goals, while including new areas such as climate change, economic inequality, innovation, sustainable consumption, peace and justice, among other priorities.

Teachers play vital role in the nation building and similarly they have responsibility towards achieving SDGs. It requires teachers to enjoy professional independence, freedom and the tools needed to deliver quality education, which must take into account learners’ circumstances, needs and expectations. In many countries this is missing especially in countries and

places where conflicts are still going on. But crises, conflicts, and insecurity, alongside rising intolerance and discrimination, as well as budgetary restrictions are some of the factors affecting teachers in much of the world, undermining both their freedom and empowerment.

Held annually on 5 October since 1994, World Teachers’ Day commemorates the anniversary of the signing of the 1966 UNESCO/ILO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers, which celebrated its 50th anniversary during last year’s edition. The 1966 Recommendation constitutes the main reference framework for addressing teachers’ rights and responsibilities on a global scale.

This year, World Teachers’ Day commemorates the 20th anniversary of the 1997 UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status of Higher-Education Teaching Personnel. Teaching personnel at institutions of higher education are often overlooked in discussions concerning the status of teachers. Like teachers at

pre-primary, primary, and secondary levels, teaching in higher education is a profession requiring expert knowledge, specialized skills, and pedagogical competence.

World Teachers’ Day 2017 will be celebrated under the theme “Teaching in Freedom, Empowering Teachers”, echoing the 2015 theme that followed the adoption of the new SGDs in September 2015, when teacher empowerment was reaffirmed as a top priority in all education and development strategies.

World Teachers’ Day is celebrated annually worldwide and brings together governments, multi- and bilateral organizations, NGOs, private sectors, teachers and experts in the field of teaching. With the adoption of SDG 4 on education, and the dedicated target which recognizes teachers as key to the achievement of the 2030 Education Agenda, it has become the occasion to mark achievements and reflect on ways to counter the remaining challenges for the promotion of the teaching profession, like the acute shortage of teachers.

According to the UNESCO Institute of Statistics, the world needs 69 Million teachers if we are to achieve universal primary and secondary education by 2030.

The international community undertook to provide universal primary and secondary education by 2030, and it is estimated that countries will need to recruit 68,8 million primary and secondary education teachers to make this target.

In India, we observe teachers day on 5th September, so, we should not get confused when we hear about teachers day being observed on 5th October.

As the theme of this year is focussed with SDGs, so, teacher s must take up responsibility of doing their role for achieving these goals. Teachers need empowerment and facilities to show case best of their abilities. Let us hope that our teachers would contribute towards achieving SDGs through their teaching and mentoring.

bers’ knowledge as a precautionary measure against manipulation. The Secretary and the Controller of Examination(COE) NPSC should be held totally accountable in case of any discrepancies in this issue; and the Government should device a mechanism to monitor it.

5) The NPSC should also declare the waiting list in order of Merit on the day of result declaration. If any candidate does not accept the post, the Commission should declare it in print media/NPSC website and accommodate the candidates in the waiting list in order of merit so that henceforth, absolute transparency may be maintained

by NPSC in this regard.

6) The Government should recommend to the Governor only those persons who are well qualified, possessing good track record and absolute integrity as NPSC members. In this regard, PSAN proposes to the Government to set up a Screening Committee headed by the Chief Secretary so that it would select the best out of the available candidates and recommend to the Governor for appointment.

7) The NPSC should complete the entire process of examination in a calendar year unlike the 2016 and 2017 Civil Service exams in which the 2017 Preliminary exam was conducted on 23rd Sept 2017 before completing the 2016 exam. It has caused much inconvenience and immense mental trauma to the candidates. The NPSC should also take into account the convenience of the aspirants while scheduling the examination routine.

8) The ratio of selection to sit for the Civil Services Mains Exam is very low as the number of candidates keeps increasing every year and as a result many deserving aspirants are kept out of the race in the mains Exam.

It is to be noted that the UPSC maintains a ratio of one post to 13/14 and most of the State Public Service Commissions maintain a ratio in the range of 1:9 to 1:13 irrespective of the number of posts advertised.

Therefore, taking all the above mentioned points into consideration, the ratio of selection in the NPSC Preliminary should be increased to at least 1:10 from the current ratio irrespective of the number of posts advertised.

Hence, in order to maintain transparency in the entire process of NPSC examination, and in the interest of the aspirants and general public, the PSAN submits this representation for your prompt action.

Reader’s Post

Appeal to principal director of Education Sir,

We the aggrieved aspirant of G/T (maths) would like to request your esteem authority to conduct second phase maths teacher exam for those who were unable to download admit card. It is very disappointing that even after highlighting the problem in the Newspaper, the department fail to address our grievances and act blindfolded.

Many of us had come from far flung areas but to the utter dismay we were not allowed to sit in the exam and compete with them due to non availability of admit card.

The department always make a foul cry upon lack of maths teachers, but never provide an ample opportunity and when we get opportunity; we were debarred from appearing the exam! Moreover there is no any point to debar commerce (hons) graduate from appearing the exam without even letting them to sit in the exam and without even mentioning such criteria in the advt.

We the undersigned have been teaching the subject since few years and have completed our B.Ed and had qualified N-TET with flying colors but still the department fail to justify and instead allowed those without B.ed and N TET. Therefore we request your esteem authority to conduct second phase of Maths teacher exam for those aggrieved aspirant.

Stating that the above irregularities were only a tip of the iceberg, NPRAAF said there were many more projects where estimates were abnormally increased manifold to be shared among those in chair. While appreciating NSMDC for clarifying on the issue, the forum however sought for a “clearer response”.

Meanwhile, the forum has reminded Roads & Bridges and Finance department to clarify on the construction of road from Pungwla to Jalukie, Dzumha bridge etc. It also issued a “final reminder” to FD and Planning & Co-ordination department to provide GoI sanction/ release order number for construction of 17 hostels under Article 275 (1).

“NPRAAF means business and will take all issues to logical conclusions,” it added.

NPRAAF said it would be taking up similar issues, saying the present leaders had been running the government like their personal property suiting their whims and fancies.

It reminded that the financial decision of NSMDC was limited only below Rs.1 crore and any project above Rs.1 crore needed the approval of the state government. Referring to NSMDC’s statement that the projects were under NLCPR and accordingly the initial amount was withdrawn— NPRAAF said if such was the case then “why was the revised estimate increase of 100% amounting Rs 20.72 crore paid out of the public exchequer as additional fund and not from NLCPR?” Taking serious note of the anomalies, the forum sought for an inquiry by the State Vigilance or any other competent authority not only against NSMDC ltd but state Finance department as well. The forum wondered as to who should get the credit for construction of the bridges– NLCPR or Nagaland government?

Once again, NPRAAF has reminded the Finance department to clarify on “what it meant by State Plan (Additional Fund) and State Plan (RE) and under what head and nomencla-

(From p-1) On construction of bridges over Chizuti River (24 m span) and Tizu River (100 m span), NPRAFF said NSMDC had informed that the construction of bridges was at an estimated cost of Rs 20.54 crore which was enhanced to Rs. 41.26 crore following revision of the cost for Tizu bridge.

Expressing shock by the revision/increase of over 100% from the original initial estimate, the NPRRAF questioned “which department had prepared the initial estimate that its revision had to be increased more than 100% and how was an approval for such an abnormal revision given?

Despite such things taking place right under the very nose of the Finance department, NPRRAF however alleged that the department (FD) readily approves any project that lands on its table and accordingly releases funds.

The forum has asked NSMDC to clarify as to who had approved such anomalous cost revision-- whether it was a secretary, minister or the state cabinet-- and accordingly substantiate it

The association further requested the NGOs to pressurize the government for opening bank in the 42 unbanked RD blocks for the delivery of service.

Welcoming any constructive suggestions, the NSVDBA said it would not be discouraged or disheartened to stand for what was right and justifiable.

It also requested the government to seriously ponder on the feasibility aspect of implementation of DBT at this juncture or any guidelines, which should not be made compulsory imposed but carefully exercise its applicability in the context of prevailing local conditions of the state.

He has held several key assignments across various business verticals, including two overseas assignments in Canada and the UK. A large number of banks are facing the issue of the non-performing assets.

Ms. Bhattacharya became the first woman chairperson of SBI in 2013.

It also said that in 1238 villages there were 4.25 lakh MGNREGA job card holders. In spite of all the efforts, NSVDBA said that only 46,894 job card holders have been able to open their bank account duly linked with Aadhaar card till date.

It said the remaining 3,78,106 were yet to open their bank account.

Hence, the association said its contention was that if DBT was implemented at this juncture only 46,894 job card holders would to get benefitted out of MGNREGA schemes and the remaining would be victimized.

In this regard, NSVDBA queried who would be held responsible for the loss of 3,78,106 job card holders in the state?

New Delhi, Oct 4 (PTI): The Reserve Bank Wednesday reduced the Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR), the portion of deposits held by banks in government securities, by 0.5% to 19.5%, freeing over Rs 57,000 crore to bank funds for lending. “As a part of the transition to a Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) of 100% by January 1, 2019, it is proposed to reduce the SLR by 50 basis points from 20% to 19.50% of banks’ net demand and time liabilities (NDTL) from the fortnight commencing October 14, 2017,” it said.

MON DIVISION MON, NAGALAND 798621

PRESS RELEASE

The NPF Mon Division is taken a back to see the wild allegation leveled against the Home Minister, Nagaland Shri. Y.Patton by L.Yanlong Konyak and Wango Konyak wherein the writers have falsely alleged that Y. Patton had expressed the death of Late Kiyaneilie (Former Minister) as an advantage on the side of Neiphiu Rio in the ongoing crisis within NPF during Lao Ong Mo Post Harvest Festival at Mon on 29th September 2017.

The organizers of the festival, the general public and all those who have attended the celebration stands as living witness that Y.Patton had not mentioned the name of Late Kiyaneilie even for a single time throughout his brief speech. At no point of time had he spoken ‘paro jun ase, ek jun morise ekaro jun he ase’ as well. The writers are found twitting their statements within two days time. Earlier they have alleged that the Home Minister had mentioned the name of Late Kiyaneilie but now they have translated to different version which clearly shows that their allegation was politically motivated based on figment of imagination. It is also quite unbecoming on the part of the writers to say that the Home Minister was an uninvited guest. It is quite obvious that whenever the Hon’ble Chief Minister is invited for any function or programme, traditionally his cabinet colleagues accompanies or for that matter when a Cabinet Minister is invited, the other colleagues follow suit. The statement itself is an insult and a disgrace to the Konyak Community in general. It may pertinent to say that whenever a politician attends any kind of functions, a little bit of political situations or stories are being shared. Therefore, we appeal to the Konyak Community in particular not to be disheartened by the political message being shared by Home Minister on the festival occasion. However, the wild allegation meted out by Wango Konyak and L.Yanlong Konyak was nothing but a desperate attempt to tarnish the image of Hon’ble Home Minister, Y.Patton in particular and the Konyak Community in general. The false propaganda flashed out by the writers not only has misled the Naga populace but has also deeply hurt the sentiments of the Angami Community particularly the 8 Western Angami Assembly Constituency and therefore, Wango Konyak and L.Yanlong Konyak should tender public apology so as to close down the chapter once and for all.

MANILA, OCT 4 (AFP): The girlfriend of Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock returned to the US today from the Philippines, where she had received $100,000 from him before he massacred 58 people, authorities in Manila said.

Marilou Danley flew out of Manila’s international airport on Tuesday night for Los Angeles, immigration bureau spokeswoman Maria Antoinette Mangrobang told AFP. Aviation websites showed the Philippine Airlines f light that Mangrobang said Danley had taken landed in the United States on Wednesday morning Philippine time, but Tuesday evening in Los Angeles.

The Philippines’ National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) said the FBI, its US counterpart, had sought help in finding Danley, 62.

“Danley arrived in the Philippines last month, and then there was a wire transfer to her account for $100,000 from Stephen,” NBI spokesman Nick Suarez told AFP. “The FBI has coordinated with the Philippine office of the Interpol to look for her.”

Suarez said the FBI considered Danley a “person of interest”, but not necessarily a suspect.

Paddock, a 64-yearold gambler and retired accountant, killed 58 people and injured at least 527 others when he used a vast arsenal of weapons to shoot at a Las Vegas concert from a hotel room on Sunday.

Danley is an Australian citizen who moved to the United States 20 years ago to work on the casino strip, the Australian government confirmed Tuesday.

“There are reports her ID was used for booking the hotel or some such detail,” Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said.

STOCKHOLM, OCT 4 (AFP): A revolutionary technique dubbed cryo-electron microscopy, which has shed light on the Zika virus and an Alzheimer’s enzyme, earned scientists Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Frank and Richard Henderson the Nobel Chemistry Prize today.

Thanks to the international team’s “cool method”, which uses electron beams to examine the tiniest structures of cells, “researchers can now freeze biomolecules mid-movement and visualise processes they have never previously seen,” the Nobel chemistry committee said.

This has been “decisive for both the basic understanding of life’s chemistry and for the development of pharmaceuticals,” it added.

The ultra-sensitive imaging method allows molecules to be flash-frozen and studied in their natural form, without the need for dyes.

It has laid bare neverbefore-seen details of the tiny protein machines that run all cells.

“When researchers began to suspect that the Zika virus was causing the epidemic of brain-damaged newborns in Brazil, they turned to cryo-EM (electron microscopy) to visualise the virus,” the committee said.

It’s anybody’s guess what might happen if the prosperous northeastern region of Catalonia does actually try to secede. Spain could intervene to take over the regional government or it could even declare a state of emergency and impose martial law.

In a nationally televised address Tuesday night, Spain’s King Felipe VI came out strongly against the actions of Catalan authorities, saying they had deliberately bent the law with “irresponsible conduct.”

The Spanish state, he went on, needed to ensure constitutional order and the rule of law in Catalonia, which is the richest region of Spain.

Catalonia says some 2.3 million people — less than half the region’s electorate — voted in the referendum Sunday. Many of those opposed to independence are thought to have stayed at home after the referendum was ordered suspended by a Spanish

BEIJING, OCT 4 (PTI): China has come out with a documentary showcasing the achievements of President Xi Jinping’s sweeping military reforms in the last five years to build a strong army and expand China’s global influence.

The documentar y comes ahead of the 19th Congress of the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC), to begin here from October 18 during which Xi is set to get a second term as general secretary.

As per the practice followed by the party, top leaders will get two fiveyear terms and retire after 68 years of age.

MADRID, OCT 4 (AGENCIES): Catalonia’s regional gover nment is mulling when to declare the region’s independence from Spain in the wake of a disputed referendum that has triggered Spain’s most serious national crisis in decades.

Some lawmakers say that will happen Monday, reports AP. The region’s pro-independence president, Carles Puigdemont, who has said an independence declaration will come in a few days, is delivering a speech later Wednesday. He’s also addressing the regional parliament on Monday to review the vote — a session that his parliamentary supporters in the radical, anti-capitalist CUP group say will consider the independence declaration.

Spain, which has declared Sunday’s referendum illegal and invalid, is bitterly opposed to any independence move.

Spain’s conservative government has said it will respond with “all necessary measures” to counter Catalan defiance, and is holding talks with opposition lead-

Xavier Garcia Albiol, the top politician in Catalonia of Spain’s governing party, called Wednesday for Catalans who want to stay inside Spain to join a rally Sunday in Barcelona that has been organized by the pro-union grassroots Civil Catalan Society group.

The route to becoming independent won’t be easy for Catalonia. The region doesn’t have any power over defense, foreign affairs, taxes, ports or airports, all of which are in the hands of the Madrid government.

The European Union has also said that an independent Catalonia cannot stay in the bloc, but must apply to join, a lengthy uncertain process.

The crisis in Spain grew more acute Sunday when some 900 people needed medical attention after police cracked down to try to prevent the vote. Over 400 police also had bruises.

On Tuesday, huge crowds held street protests and unions staged a strike in Catalonia to protest the alleged police brutality.

work style, since Xi took over during the 18th National Congress of the CPC in 2012, state-run Xinhua news agency reported today.

The documentary titled ‘Qiang Jun’, which means building a strong army, was produced by the Political Work Department of the Central Military Commission and is being aired on both state broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV) and local television stations.

Xi, a strong advocate of a powerful military to back China’s global economic influence and power, carried out massive reforms in the 2.3 million-strong People’s Liberation Army (PLA), the world’s largest force.

Besides operational reforms, he has also carried out an unprecedented anticorruption campaign purging the forces of corrupt elements from top to bottom.

In the last five years, at least 13,000 military officers involved in corruption have been punished, the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post quoted a report yesterday by the PLA Daily, the official organ of the Chinese military.

Open Naga Wrestling league at Zhavame

from China Open

BEIJING, OCT 4 (AFP): Maria Sharapova opened up on the despair she feels in defeat after she was ruthlessly knocked out of the China Open in the third round by Romania’s Simona Halep on Wednesday.

The world number two was an emphatic 6-2, 6-2 winner in 72 minutes to leave five-time Grand Slam champion Sharapova still searching for her first title since returning from a doping ban in April.

The Russian Sharapova, a former number one now languishing at 104 in the world rankings following her 15-month suspension for taking meldonium, gave an insight into the rollercoaster of emotions in top-level tennis.

Halep, the second seed on Beijing’s outdoor hard courts, is the first woman into the China Open quarter-finals.

Having turfed out Sharapova and with world number one Garbine Muguruza exiting in the first round with a virus, the 26-year-old Halep is now favourite in the Chinese capital.
