Zeliang trying to usurp power: NDPP

DIMAPUR, OCT 4 (NPN): Accusing opposition NPF leader TR Zeliang of indulging in “clandestine activities” to escape the legal noose around him, NDPP alleged that the former chief minister along with a relative had met BJP central leadership in New Delhi on September 26 with the intention of and in a desperate bid to occupy the chief ministerial chair again.

NDPP’s statement assumes significance in the light of the fact that the strength of the party in the Assembly has come down to 17 from 18 MLAs after the demise of Imtikumzuk Longkumer.

Further, out of the 17 MLAs, the speaker is not taken into consideration except in a vote where there is a tie.

Therefore, theoretically, if NPF (with 26 members) manages to woo and win over four legislators (1 Independent, 1 JD-U and 2 NPP), that will make it a 30-member group. This will leave the NDPP with 16 members (minus Speaker) and with 12 of BJP having a total of 28 MLAs in the house.

A statement issued by

CM greetings on Tsokum, Yemshe DIMAPUR, OCT 4 (NPN): State chief minister, Neiphiu Rio, has extended greetings to Khiamniungan community and Pochury community on the occasion of Tsokum festival and Yemshe festival respectively. “Happy Tsokum to the people from Khiamniungan community.

As you celebrate the harvest festival, may Almighty bless you with a bountiful harvest and may the festivity foster peace and harmony,” Rio tweeted. In another tweet, Rio greeted the people from Pochury community on the joyous occasion of Yemshe; the harvest festival. “May the festivity bring cheer, goodwill and harmony and may you be blessed with rich and plentiful harvest.”

NDPP media & communications committee said that Zeliang had also reportedly informed the BJP leadership that current NPF president Dr. Shurhozelie’s term was coming to an end very soon and that a new leader would be elected to replace, following which the party would align with BJP. He also assured cooperation to BJP after the end of Dr. Shurhozelie’s term citing the fact that the present NPF president was anti-BJP. While clarifying that it was neither bothered about internal problems of NPF, nor concerned about political activities of its leaders as the PDA government was firm and stable, NDPP explained that it was necessary to let the people know the truth.

Alleging that the NPF leader had further informed the BJP leadership of having the support of Independent MLA, JD (U) and NPP legislators, the ruling party also accused him of claiming that some NDPP members too were willing to join him.

He further assured BJP that, if he was made chief Minister, he would allocate the BJP legislators the port-

folios of their choice, besides giving both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha seats to BJP. NDPP said Zeliang had even assured of not fielding any candidate against BJP in the Outer Manipur Lok Sabha seat.

The BJP leadership is, however, reported to have responded by saying that BJP-NDPP alliance was a pre-poll alliance with seatsharing arrangement and that it was Prime Minister Narendra Modi who had come to Nagaland to declare the chief ministerial candidate of the PDA coalition.

The BJP also conveyed to Zeliang that the BJP was a responsible national party that could not betray the confidence and support of the people and that it could not go back on its political commitments just for the sake of his ambition to become chief minister.

Zeliang was clearly told that the leadership of Neiphiu Rio had the mandate of the people and support of NDA leadership and that there was no question of any change of stand whatsoever.

NDPP alleged that, despite being rejected by the BJP leadership, Zeliang

on his return to Nagaland continued indulging in lies by conveying to NPF leadership that he got assurance and support of BJP high command to form a new government. NDPP stated that Zeliang even informed the NPF leadership that it might be necessary for some party MLAs to merge with BJP and that NPF should not seek their disqualification as they had to take over power by any means.

Despite such “clandestine activities” and “spreading of habitual lies”

by Zeliang, NDPP assured the people that the PDA government was firm and stable under an environment of trust and mutual cooperation. The PDA leadership had the full confidence of the NDA leadership in New Delhi and were working under a congenial environment of collective teamwork and responsibility, it claimed.

According to NDPP, NPF government in the past four years had been a miserable failure. It said poor governance, corrupt leadership and betrayal of people on all burning issues were the hallmark of the Zeliang regime.

NPF takes umbrage to Rio’s announcement to build roads

DIMAPUR, OCT 4 (NPN): NPF has termed chief minister Neiphiu Rio’s announcement of building good roads in the State within a year’s time as “most astonishing” as his government could not even utilise the fund sanctioned during the previous regime, nor initiate work on roads for which work orders were already issued.

It claimed that work orders were already issued for two-lane GolaghatPurana Bazaar and fourlane Purana Bazaar-Chumukedima roads in August 2017, besides the two-lane New Check Gate-Lerie road in September 2017.

In a communiqué issued by its press bureau, NPF asked Rio to clarify which road he was contemplating to take up as all the ongoing works were accorded approval during T.R. Zeliang’s tenure and for which work had already started in full swing, before the off-season halted the ongoing works.

Claiming that improvement and development of road infrastructure in the State had been a

priority when it was in power, the opposition party said thousands of crores of rupees had been approved by the Central government for the purpose, which in itself was a record of sort and an achievement of the NPF government.

It termed Rio’s announcement as “mockery”, as whatever he was claiming as his government’s achievement were projects already accorded approval by the Zeliang regime.

NPF also asked Planning and Coordination minister Neiba Kronu on what ground he was stating that the State government would shell out funds from its own resources for the roads as funds from the Central government would take time.

The opposition party asked the minister how much fund he would allocate from the State resources and how much he would disburse for the roads.

Instead of finding “flimsy excuses to take credit of what the previous government had done”, the opposition party asked the ruling coalition to pursue

with a “missionary zeal” and complete the various road projects initiated by the previous regime judiciously within the stipulated period.

Reminding the People’s Democratic Alliance (PDA) government of its promise made in the Legislative Assembly during the last Budget session to complete all roads connecting district headquarters within 30, 60, 100 days, NPF pointed out seven months had already elapsed and nothing of the sort was visible.

It added that Rio had also committed to the people of completing all roads in the State within one year, while Kronu had said that the roads would be constructed before the onset of festive season.

The opposition party asked the planning minister to declare the amount appropriated from the State exchequer for building the roads, as in the last budget session he had said that Rs 60 crore was set aside for road improvement in all the district headquarters.

Khango-led NSCN (K) appoints NPO appeals to NSCN Centre cuts petrol, diesel prices by Rs 2.50/ltr Isak Sumi as general secretary (K) warring groups

Isak Sumi (File) Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, OCT 4 (NPN): NSCN (K) chairman, Khango Konyak, has reportedly appointed Isak Sumi as the group’s new general secretary.

Highly placed sources informed Nagaland Post that Khango Konyak along with NSCN/GPRN workers have “collectively appointed” Isak Sumi as the DIMAPUR, OCT 4 (NPN): new general secretary and While appreciating the State that he was likely to take government for approving charge at the earliest. scale of pay demanded by aggrieved ad hoc teachers under the banner of All Nagaland Ad hoc Teachers’ Group (ANATG) 2015 batch, Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC) voiced its concern on the plight of teachers under various categories and asked the government to be sincere on its assurances and implement them fully in letter and spirit.

CNTC extends solidarity with ANATG

Sources also confirmed that the group was serious about resuming the cease-fire with the Government of India and contemplating to start a political dialogue.

Sources said that NSCN/GPRN leaders were in touch with certain people so as to create conducive environment for further course of action.

On September last, Khango Konyak-led NSCN (K) through its MIP had stated that the group was “seriously considering” the Naga people’s genuine appeal for peace and political dialogue with government of India.

It may be recalled that the NSCN (K) ended the cease-fire agreement with Government of India in 2015, after which the group carried out series of attack on security forces.

DIMAPUR, OCT 4 (NPN): Naga Public Organization (NPO) has urged the two warring groups of the NSCN(K) to maintain peace and tranquillity in border area and to overcome all misunderstandings “for the sake of Nagas struggle to live as one people and nation.”

In a press release, NPO deputy secretary general, Y Khomong Khiam, said the organisation after closely monitoring the present scenario has observed that Eastern Naga public were in coma. NPO added that impending situation was endangering the normal life of the people there.

Reminding the Naga political groups to understand that Eastern Nagaland was the only region where one took shelter through thick and thin for decades, the organisation said Eastern Nagas do not want the region to be known as the birth place of factions.

In this regard, NPO has called upon both the parties to immediately cease all forms of media war in order to prevent the situation from deteriorating further and to resolve any misunderstanding from within. Meanwhile, NPO has also expressed wonder as to why all the Naga civil society organisations (CSOs) and responsible intellectuals and citizens chose to remain silent at this juncture. NPO has, therefore, urged upon every right thinking Naga to come forward and intervene.

NEW DELHI, OCT 4 (PTI): The government Thursday announced a Rs 2.50 per litre cut in petrol and diesel prices by reducing excise duty and asking PSU oil firms to take a hit of Rs 9,000 crore, a step that was matched by BJP-ruled states by slashing VAT so as to double the reduction in retail rates.

While the Centre cut excise duty on petrol and diesel by Rs 1.50 per litre and asked oil firms to absorb Re 1 a litre of prices, BJP-ruled states including Gujarat, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Assam and Tripura announced a cut in VAT of up to Rs 2.5 per litre to effect a Rs 5 per litre reduction in pump rates. The price cuts would be effective from midnight tonight.

Announcing the decision, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley asked the state governments to match the move with a similar reduction in sales tax or VAT, saying leaders who only tweet and indulge in lip sympathy

over high prices will be put to test now.

Jaitley said he on Wednesday met Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and inter-ministerial consultations continued on Thursday.

After approval of the Prime Minister, a three-part relief is being passed on to consumers -- the Centre will cut excise duty by Rs 1.5, and oil marketing companies (OMCs) will factor in Re 1 in their pricing, and states have been asked to cut VAT as they have raked in windfall gains due to ad valorem nature of the levy that results in higher realisation whenever rates move up, he said.

“The states’ revenue increases because of increased crude oil prices and hence it is easier for the states to absorb Rs 2.50 (cut),” he said.

Cong ridicules: Congress on Thursday hit out at the Modi government over what it described as a “meagre” reduction in excise duty on petrol and

diesel, saying it is like applying a band-aid after inflicting a thousand wounds on the people of the country.

Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala claimed it was a “panic reaction” by the government after facing public ire and an “imminent defeat” for the BJP in upcoming assembly elections in five states, and said the step will bring little relief to the people as it is like “reducing death sentence to life imprisonment”.

Alleging over “Rs 13-lakhcrore fuel loot” through imposition of heavy excise duty on petrol and diesel and an equal amount through VAT by BJPruled states, he said the people “cannot be befooled” anymore by the government and demanded answers from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.

Congress demanded that fuel prices be brought to the 2014 level and that petrol and diesel be brought under the GST regime.

IMPHAL, Oct 4: Seven Rohingya Muslims, who were brought from Assam for deportation, were handed over to the authorities of Myanmar government at the Indo-Myanmar gate no. 2 on Thursday.

Assam police handed over the seven Myanmar national to the immigration officers of the Myanmar government at the border gate in the presence of Indian immigration official and officials of the state police department in the afternoon, official source here said.

Immigration officercum-SDPO Moreh of Tengnoupal district police, Sandip Gopal, ICP

(Integrated Check Post) in-charge Md Tajudin and OC of Moreh police station were among others who present at the handing over of the Rohingyas from India side.

The seven men were arrested in Assam in 2012 for illegally entering India and have since served their six-year prison terms in Silchar district. They were among around 32 Rohingya refugees currently in vairous detention camps in Assam.

They were received by deputy director of Tamu (Myanmar) immigration office Aung Myo and immigration officer Tamu Maung Maung.

As informed by Myanmar officials, the de-

ported Rohingyas would be dropped at Monou Northeastern Vally of the country from where they would move to their respective native places on their own responsibility.

Officials sources said that the deportation of the seven individuals were the first ever deportation of Myanmar national by India at the Indo-Myanmar international border at Moreh in Manipur.

Fo l l ow i n g U n i o n Home Minister Rajnath Singh’s directive, northeastern states sharing international borders with different countries in the region had tightened security to ensure that displaced Rohingya Muslims do not enter India.

Police sources said that several Rohingya immigrants were arrested at Moreh as well as Jiribam district bordering Assam, including Rohingya girls suspected to be victims of human trafficking.

Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court dismissed a plea for a stay on the deportation of the seven Rohingya immigrants.

A bench of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, Justice Sanjay Krishan Kaul and Justice K.M. Joseph dismissed the plea as the Centre said that Myanmar had accepted them as their citizens.

The Rohingya people are a minority Muslim community from the Rakhine state in Myanmar.

Shillong, Oct 4: Fivetime former Meghalaya Chief Minister, Donwa Dethwelson Lapang, who the quit the Congress, has been appointed as Chief Advisor to the National People’s Party (NPP)-led Meghalaya Democratic Alliance coalition government an official said on Thursday.

A notification issued on Thursday said that the Governor of Meghalaya has appointed Lapang as the chief adviser to the state gover nment with perks and facilities under category ‘A’.

The 84-year-old politician who quit the Congress quit the Congress – with which he was associated for over four decades – accusing Congress president Rahul Gandhi for embarking on a policy of phasing out senior and elderly people.

The resignation was a major blow to the Congress in the northeastern states as it has come ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha polls and the upcoming Mizoram Assembly elections.

However, Lapang is yet to decide which party he will be associating with despite several leaders of various political parties including Chief Minister Sangma, who is also the NPP Chief, had called on him.

IMPHAL, Oct 4: Two trucks were reportedly damaged at Imphal-Dimapur section on NH-2 by the suspected bandh supporters of the 48-hour Manipur bandh imposed by All Manipur DPC Completed Recruitment Candidates of Police Constable, 2013 Batch, which commenced Wednesday midnight.

All Manipur DPC Completed Recruitment Candidates of Police Constable, 2013 Batch imposed the bandh, pressing the state government to declare the pending results of the recruitment of police constable conducted in 2013.

Meanwhile, on October 2 last, the chief minister said that the declaration of the results was delayed as the case is still pending at the High Court of Manipur.

“A case is still pending, so the government can’t act on its own until the case is disposed by the court,” the chief minister had said.

When the court disposes the case, the government would declare the result of

Diphu, Oct 4: Karbi Farmers’ Association (KSA) and Karbi Students & Youth Assembly Diphu based organizations have submitted a memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner of Karbi Anglong urging him to tackle illegal flow of liquor and narcotic substances in hotels and restaurants in the district as it give rise to immoral and illicit activities in the region. In their memorandum, the two bodies alleged that Karbi Anglong is one of the most backward districts in Assam in every sphere, and the tribal society in

particular has been affected by the influence of alcohol both “conventionally and habitually”.

“Tribal’s used liquor as part of performing rites and rituals but now people drink it for pleasure, creating chaos and unwanted activities in the society, thereby making teenaged children to fall into the prey of drinking and consuming other intoxicating items. It is also seen that many retailers are selling the items and the number of teenaged and minors indulging in the activity is increasing at an alarming rate,” the two bodies claimed.

Assam small tea growers hail cess withdrawal

GUWAHATI, Oct 4 (Agencies): Small tea growers in Assam have welcomed the state government’s move to waive cess on green leaves produced by them with the state Assembly passing the Assam Taxation (on Specified Lands) (Amendment) Bill, 2018 on Wednesday, The Shillong Times reported.

The Assam government has through the Bill withdrawn the 10 paise cess per kg of green tea leaves that was earlier levied in the state. The waiver is applicable for small tea growers with holdings of 40 hectares or less land.

The All Assam Small Tea Growers Association however wants the state industries department to issue a notification to the factories in this regard so that the benefit of the move accrues to the small tea growers with immediate effect.

“More than Rs 200 crore has been collected since 2009-10 through the cess levied on green leaves but the proceeds have not properly utilised for our welfare. No receipts have been provided as well. So while we welcome the state government’s move to withdraw the cess and the earlier

decision to grant land patta to small tea growers, we would like to request the state industries department to immediately notify the factories on the waiver,” Rohit Borgohain, the general secretary of the association told The Shillong Times on Thursday. According to sources quoting the latest data, there are 1, 44,222 small tea growers (having land holdings up to 10 hectares) in Assam.

B i j i t B a s u m a t a r y, a small tea grower from Kokrajhar district, while expressing relief on the cess withdrawal, said that small tea growers have not been

the recruitment as soon as possible, he added.

The bandh has no impact in the state, except disruption in the normal vehicular movement along the national highways in hill districts of the state. Candidates hailing from the hill districts of the state strongly supported the bandh.

Apparently, fearing attack from the bandh supporters, most of the interstate service vehicles stayed off the road.

The examination for recruiting 2000 police constables was conducted back

in 2013. However, the controversy in the declaration of the results surfaced after the then state government declared null and void all the recruitment processes and ordered fresh recruitment in 2016.

Last year, the Manipur high court ruled that the results should be declared

by June 5, 2018. However, the state government could not declared the results as another case was filed in the same court which the final verdict of the case is yet to be delivered, according to official source.

Govt slaps fresh ban on two insurgent groups of Tripura New Delhi, Oct 4 (PTI): The government has imposed a fresh ban on two insurgent groups in Tripura for their violent and subversive activities, which aim at establishment of an independent nation.

In a notification, the Home Ministry said the central government is of the opinion that the National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) and the All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF) have been engaging in subversive and violent activities, undermining the authority of the government and spreading terror and violence among people for achieving their objectives.

The ministry said the NLFT and the ATTF have, as their professed aim, establishment of an independent nation by secession of Tripura from India through armed struggle in alliance with other armed secessionist organisations of Tripura and to incite indigenous people of Tripura for such secession. “In exercise of powers conferred by sub-section (1) of section 3 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 (37 of 1967), the central government hereby declares that the NLFT along with all its factions,

wings and front organisations and the ATTF along with all its factions, wings and front organisations as unlawful associations,” the notification said.

The rebel outfits in Tripura, formed in 1990 with the objective of “expulsion of all foreigners who entered the state after 1956”, were first banned in 1997. The fresh ban will continue for five more years, an official said.

The home ministry also said both the groups have been maintaining close nexus with other unlawful associations of North East with the aim of mobilising their support, in pursuance of their aims and objectives in recent past, engaging in violent and unlawful activities which are prejudicial to the sovereignty and integrity of India.

The central government is also of the opinion that their violent and unlawful activities include, killing of civilians and personnel belonging to the police and security forces, extortion of funds from the public including businessmen and traders in Tripura, establishing and maintaining camps in neighbouring countries for the purpose of safe sanc-

tuary, training, procurement of arms and ammunitions, etc. “The central government is also of the opinion that the aforesaid activities of the NLFT and the ATTF are detrimental to the sovereignty and integrity of India and that they are unlawful associations,” the notification said.

The central government is also of the opinion that if there is no immediate curb and control of the NLFT and the ATTF they will take the opportunity to mobilise cadres for escalating secessionist, subversive, and violent activities, propagate anti-national activities in collusion with forces inimical to India’s sovereignty and national integrity, indulge in killings of civilians and targeting of police and security force personnel, procure and induct illegal arms and ammunition from across the international border, extort and collect huge funds from the public for their unlawful activities.

The NLFT and ATTF were first banned in 1997 following large-scale ethnic riots involving tribals and non-tribals in Khowai subdivision in Tripura, in which both outfits intervened on behalf of the tribals.

JCPI meets govt panel on illegal influx issue

(From p-1) While appreciating the government constituted committee for coming out with the interim report, JCPI urged the committee to insert supplementary points in the final draft.

The points included issuance of Aadhaar only by competent authorities especially in Dimapur and Kohima and ceasing of outsourcing Aadhaar enrolment works; re-verification of all Indigenous inhabitant certificate/ST certificate issued in the last 20 years, checking rampant issuance of land patta, permanent resident certificates, birth certificates, intensive revision and cross checking of Nagaland electoral-roll.

JCPI expressed hope that all aspects of the matter discussed thus far including the demand for bringing Dimapur under the purview of ILP would be addressed positively.

CNTC extends solidarity with ANATG

(From p-1) In a statement issued by its Media Cell on Thursday, CNTC stated that teachers under different categories in Nagaland were often compelled by circumstances to vent out their grievances by resorting to democratic mode of agitations in order to let their voices be heard by authorities as they had no other ways and means. Considered as a noble profession by many and nation builders around the world, it was painful to see the suffering and despair of many teachers in “our State” due to various anomalies and irregularities, it added.

Appealing to the government to regularise appointments of ad hoc teachers of 2015 batch at the earliest as they had already cleared their suitability tests and were now only awaiting cabinet approval, the council expressed full solidarity with the aggrieved teachers.

Meanwhile, CNTC also expressed shock at the office memorandum that proposed deduction of salaries of Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) teachers of 2016 batch or face termination from services.

As these teachers, whose salaries were irregularly paid and delayed, were facing great hardships and burdened with rising prices of all essential commodities and high cost of living, the council appealed to the government to seriously consider their demand.

ED arrests Assam’s ‘liquor mafia’ in PMLA case

New Delhi, Oct 4 (PTI): The Enforcement Directorate (ED) Thursday said it has arrested a ‘liquor mafia’ of Assam in connection with a money laundering case.

The central agency said in a statement that it arrested Rajesh Kumar Jalan on Wednesday under a criminal section of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) as he was “intimidating” the witnesses who were coming for interrogation in the case and that he was not cooperating in the probe.

It said Jalan was the “mastermind” behind an alleged liquor scam which

was executed by illegally transporting liquor boxes from a warehouse on the basis of forged documents between 2012-15.

“An amount of Rs 19.86 crore as excise revenue and over Rs 21.86 as VAT have been misappropriated

by Jalan in connivance with Excise department officials.

Jalan was arrested by the state CID in December, 2016 in this case and later was charge sheeted. Several Excise officials were also charge sheeted by the CID,” the ED said.

It added that Jalan is a “very influential person and is known as liquor mafia in Assam.”

aviation as we have put Sikkim on India’s aviation map,” said Ajay Singh, the chairman and managing director, SpiceJet. The first direct flight to Pakyong was flagged off from the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata.

SpiceJet will launch a second flight connecting Guwahati with Pakyong from October 16, the statement said.

A traditional lamp lighting ceremony was organized to mark the inauguration of the operations and the first passenger was welcomed by SpiceJet officials.

The flight was greeted with a grand water cannon

salute upon its arrival at the Pakyong airport, the airline said.

The first airport at Pakyong in Sikkim was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 24. It is located around 33 km from Gangtok, the state capital.

SpiceJet is the first and only airline to connect this majestic state with the rest of the country and beyond, and will be connecting Pakyong with Guwahati from October 16, Singh said.

“Our new flights will provide a major boost to tourism and we are proud to contribute to the growth story of this vibrant state,” he said.

It is a great push for tourism and has definitely enhanced connectivity to Sikkim, said Atul Dixit, the director of the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata.

“The direct flight will help in saving almost an entire day. Earlier, people had to fly to Bagdogra (West Bengal) and then drive to Gangtok,” Dixit said.

The Pakyong airport, the country’s 100th operational airport, is an engineering marvel situated at a height of more than 4,500 feet.

On March 10 this year, the airline had successfully operated a test flight to Pakyong making it the first civil fixed aircraft to land at the airport.

Kokrajhar, Oct 4 (Agencies): The Bodoland Students Union (BSU) has called off its indefinite strike at Bodoland University on Thursday following assurance from the Governor on fulfillment of their various demands, Northeast Now reported.

Talking to media, Bodoland Students Union president Swgwmsar Basumatary said a formal latter was received from the Governor’s office with assurance to address the demands following which they have decided to called off the strike.

The Bodoland Students Union was on indefinite strike since September 20 demanding resignation of present caretaker vice chancellor and appointment of a

NPF takes umbrage to Rio’s announcement to build roads

(From p-1) Alleging that PDA government in reality could provide only Rs 25 crore to PWD department, as per the reply given by the minister in charge of the department during the recently-concluded summer session of the Assembly, the party reasoned that it was difficult to trust the government unless the amount was appropriated by the planning department and released to the implementing agency.

NPF said the one year Rio was taking from the Naga people to complete the road projects could be too long as apparently the days of his PDA government was already numbered.

Stating that it did not speculate, the party alleged that his seven-month-old government’s achievement was zero, even though financial mismanagement and misgovernance were “too obvious to be seen by every party and people.”

NPF reiterated to work in the interest of the people, while reminding them that the PDA government has already lived its longevity.

Zeliang trying to usurp power: NDPP

(From p-1) The ruling party pointed out that the icing on the cake was the false declaration of Zeliang about his educational qualification wherein he had falsely stated that he had graduated from Kohima College whereas he had actually failed in all the subjects. And though he had stated then that he would give an appropriate answer at the right time, the people of Nagaland were still waiting for that appropriate answer, it added.

NDPP asserted that unless NPF and Zeliang apologised to the citizens, they had no moral authority to even dream of leading the State. It also stated that Zeliang should be held accountable for massive corruption, misgovernance and diversion of funds for farmers, students’ scholarships and development funds.

Assuring the people that there was no need to worry about the stability of the PDA government as it was sailing smoothly with full support of the NDA government and making its best efforts to deliver good governance and all-round development to boost economic growth under able and progressive leadership of Rio, NDPP added that it was a member of NDA at the Centre and North East Democratic Alliance at the regional level. The party reiterated of remaining committed to its principles of bringing positive change to pave the way for progress in letter and spirit.

letter from SKG Boruah, secretary to Governor further stated that Prof Pradip Kr Patra will refrain from taking any major decision including appointments, selection process without the prior approval of the Chancellor.

The Bodoland University Teachers Association has expressed happiness over the lifting of the indefinite strike. Bodoland University Teachers Association secretary Rustom Brahma said, “We are extremely happy that the strike is called off now. The strike badly affected the semester system because there is limited time frame for class transaction in a particular semester period which involves many internal activities too.”

Mizoram: Cong MLA resigns from party & Assembly Aizawl, Oct 4 (PTI): Congress MLA Lalrinliana Sailo Wednesday said he quit the party and Mizoram Assembly for “refusal” of the Congress government to create a separate district comprising his home turf.

Nagaland Post Vol. XXVIII NO. 300 Dimapur, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2018

Land grabbers

n Dimapur town, almost all government-owned lands have been “totally privatised” much before the Government of India decided to embrace economic reforms through privatisation of government assets. One of the reasons why encroachments in Dimapur have taken such a virulent form is the involvement of officials and staff of the departments themselves. This was what one could understand from the speech of state Health & Family Welfare minister, S. Pangnyu Phom while inaugurating the computerized registration and billing counter at District Hospital Dimapur on October 3. It is not out of place to particularise the alleged encroachment in the DHD as strongly spoken out by the minister himself. If a land that has been earmarked to construct infrastructure for treatment of the sick and dying is also being encroached then there is no place in Nagaland that can be spared. Perhaps not even if the land belongs to the Almighty himself. The issue of blatant encroachment on government lands had been reported and commented in this newspaper since 1990 but somehow the government ignored the concerns. If encroachment is almost legalised as in Dimapur, it is a small wonder that even national highways and roads have been “privatised”. The encroachment syndrome in Dimapur has also ensured that even drains in public places no longer exist and which has been the main cause for inundation and flooding. In the light of the “privatisation” of government properties since the 80s, it appears that soon entire Dimapur and even including the road reservation areas along the national highways will be occupied under the encroachment principle of ‘right of occupation’. The same is the case with acres upon acres of government lands that once occupied the prime spots of Dimapur not too long ago. The manner in which the land revenue branch, in collusion with encroachers and other officials, has allegedly granted No Objection Certificate (NoC) and pattas has to be seen to be believed. Almost all lands of department such as Supply, Excise, Geology & Mining, PWD, PHE, various branches under Veterinary & Animal Husbandry, DIC, Industries, Prison and jail, education, medical and even police colonies etc, today belong to individuals. A few years back, then opposition Congress legislators had accused the NPF-led DAN government of conniving with officials in issuing pattas on encroached highway areas in Dimapur. The party had even gone to the extent of demanding that those officials and staff responsible be identified and book and awarded due punishment. The medical minister in his speech had also vowed to leave no stone unturned to book those staff and doctors involved in stealing land that is meant for the benefit of the public in general and patients in particular. Well, that may be the right response but given the fact that such an action would be like asking for the moon; there is no way that the government ever or will have, the political will to do just that.

The time has come and perhaps late too, that the state authorities need to tighten against encroachment of government and public lands especially in Dimapur. Unless there is strict enforcement of rule and unless officers and staff are made accountable for their wrong actions, the problem will continue.

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.

Post-mortem

‘NSF and the Naga Club as we know’ A s the Naga Students’ Federation prepares to commemorate the 100th Year of Naga Club, to salute the pioneers of the Naga Club and to celebrate the glorious legacy they left to the Naga people, we the undersigned former Presidents of NSF and the two living members of the team that physically reclaimed the Naga Club Building in 1983, would also like to testify our share of the story on how we steadfastly protected, promoted and safeguarded some of the symbolic things they left behind.

That, ever since the then Naga Club became the Naga Hills Tribals Council in 1945 as per record, which in turn became the Naga National Council in 1946, the Naga Club as an institution was dormant for some time. However, by 1948 there were duly appointed Caretakers to look after the Naga Club till 1966. And in 1982, on the 7th of January, a new team of office bearers of the Naga Club was elected at a meeting held at the Kohima Village Panchayat Hall.

This new team then made several attempts to reclaim the Naga Club building which was occupied by the Forest Department without success.

By 1983, when Late. Vizolie Sorhie became the President of NSF, with Imkong L. Imchen as his General Secretary amongst others, the office bearers of the Naga Club along with the Naga Elders Conference then approached the Naga Students’ Federation to help them reclaim the Naga Club Building. So NSF too knowing fully well that the Naga Club Building belongs to the Naga people as a whole agreed to help and approached the Forest Department on several occasion to return the building to its rightful owner – the Naga Club. The Department assured that the building would be returned to the Naga Club as soon as they can shift to their own office building.

However, when the Forest Department shifted their office, they kept the Naga Club Building under lock and key and never handed over the keys to the Naga Club. Many more efforts were made to reclaim the Naga Club building in the most appropriate manner, but the Government refused to cooperate.

Therefore, out of no other

option, the NSF under the leadership of Late. Vizolie Sorhie in mutual understanding with the Naga Club office bearers decided to take over and occupy the building. So in the month of April 1983, Late. Vizolie Sorhie, President NSF, Late. Mechimvu Ritse, Finance Secretary NSF, Neingulo Krome, Member, Action Committee of NSF and Mr. Kewezu G. Kenye, President, ANCSU, went and broke open the lock of the Government and replaced it with new lock and key. After which, NSF office was shifted to the Naga Club Building, where the Vehicle of Mr. Neivor Rutsa, with Registration No. NLT – 309 was used to transport the NSF office files and furnitures. Later on, rooms were also provided for ANCSU, Naga Elders Conference, and gradually office of the Oking Times, and also the Naga Mother’s Association.

In the meantime, through mutual understanding with the Naga Club, the NSF submitted an application for rent to provide legal evidence that Naga Club is the owner of the building, for which the Naga Club Authority issued an order allotting a part of its building under rental basis.

These documents were issued to proof that the Building belong to Naga Club without any doubt which became evidences in some of the litigations and court cases.

Ultimately, these documents led to the winning of the case in favour of the Naga Club at the Kohima Deputy Commissioner’s court.

After the occupation of the Naga Club Building by the NSF, the Government of Nagaland issued eviction orders 3 times consecutively, but the NSF stood its ground and responded by issuing a Press Release; “In this regard, NSF with regret cannot honour the order of the Government, since this building (former CCF Office) belongs to the Naga Club and not to the Government and NSF has the order from the Naga Club Authority to occupy the said building. Further, Government is requested to withdraw its order as early as possible, otherwise, NSF will not be held responsible for any consequences which may take place out of this issue”.

It is 35 years now and all of us who have served as Presidents of NSF with our offices at the

Towards cleaner Nagaland

Naga Club Building in all our respective tenures, had at no point in time ever claimed ownership in any way, but have only been safeguarding the history and legacy the Naga Club has passed on to the Naga people.

We are clear without any doubt that the Naga Club Building belongs to all the Naga people, irrespective of geographical areas, overground or underground Nagas, or whoever have passed away in the last 100 years and to all those who will be born to this world of the Nagas for all times to come.

NSF has only been a humble servant and caretaker of the Naga Club Building with its office address clearly written as, “Office of the Naga Students’ Federation, Naga Club Building, Kohima, Nagaland”. And although NSF was formed as a student organization way back in 1947, the circumstances compelled NSF to shoulder the responsibilities of a youth movement alongside the Naga National political movement with some intellectual capacities. This is still true even today although the dynamics have drastically changed. But the undeniable fact is that, when NSF took the responsibility to reclaim and take over the Naga Club Building from the Government, it was in itself a political statement which no other organizations including the Naga National workers were able to do, at that point in time as the situation itself will not allow.

We also admit, that NSF also has gone through its own shares of “Ups and Downs”. It even went defunct a few times in the early years due to the unbearable political turmoil.

But it regained itself to lead the Naga people, including the student communities, with much gratitude to those senior selfless previous NSF Presidents and their teams, in the face of all kinds of odds, without a proper place of work, which could be called an “Office” in the real sense.

But after the establishment of the NSF Office at the Naga Club Building, many things changed. And although we had our own limitations on many issues, we have never failed to play our part where the Naga National issue is concerned.

Many with accusing fingers may find fault with us, but those are

not surprising at all. At the same time, many will not acknowledge half of what we achieved for those are the ways of the world.

But what we did for the Nagas as a whole and what we could achieve during the last 35 years from the Naga Club Building, we remain grateful to the Almighty God and the unwavering Naga public, who stood by us in all bad times and who will be the best Judges of things in all times to come.

We therefore, make this most humble and sincere appeal to whosoever may be holding any misgivings against NSF, to kindly understand the facts of history and the contributions made by well meaning people at various points in time and together preserve and protect the correctness of our history. As Naga people struggle to defend our identity, our land and our nation, we have experienced many bitter pains and selfinflicting injuries. Let us learn from our past mistakes and at least preserve and honour the only glory of the past, which is still pure in the form of a golden memory, which sowed the seed of the Naga national consciousness, the one and only collective voice of the Naga people – The Naga Club of 1918.

Governor’ message on Wildlife Week

I

am extremely happy to note that like previous years, the Department of Environment, Forest & Climate Change, Nagaland is celebrating the 64th Wildlife Week from 2nd to 8th October 2018 on the theme “ Big Cats-Predators under threat” with active participation of all stakeholders.

I extend my warm greetings to the people of Nagaland on this auspicious occasion. I wish that the weeklong celebration will inspire the people of the State to contribute towards preserving the rich floral and faunal diversity of the State.

Nagaland is richly endowed with the biodiversity of eastern Himalayans with over 80% of its geographical area being maintained under forest and tree cover at different interval of time. The State is rightly been recognised as one of the biodiversity hotspot in the world.

The vast array of its rich faunal wealth includes big cats found in the country including, tiger, leopard, clouded leopard and elephants, bears, hillock gibbon, Blyth’s Tragopan, variety of hornbills and other valuable species, which is unique in the country.

The State Government of Nagaland has been proactive to ensure that the rich natural heritage of the State is well preserved for the future generations. The Government, in 2013, had declared Amur Falcons as the State Guest and also notified stoppage of development funds of a village found in killing wild animals (including migratory birds), which is an unique notification in the Country.

The forest and wildlife staff also spare no effort to p[protect the wildlife and its habitats against threats of encroachment, illegal poaching of wild animals and plants for unlawful consumption or trade of their parts and derivatives. I take this opportunity to congratulate them for their sincere efforts and hard work.

No endeavour of a Government can fructify without the wholehearted support of the people. The people of the State are coming forward for protection and conservation of forest and wildlife.

The latest example is the solidarity in protection of Amur Falcons since 2013 and, as a result, the world community recognised Nagaland as the Falcon’s capital.

I call upon my beloved people of Nagaland to solemnly resolve to preserve the rich flora and fauna of the State in its pristine glory and contribute to their conservation by actively collaborating with the Department of Environment, Forest & Climate Change for sustainable supply of our natural resources.

The Governor

Modi welcomes Putin in India

Prime Minister Narendra Modi greets Russian President Vladimir Putin at the latter’s official residence, Thursday.

NEW DELHI, OCT 4 ( AG E N CIE S ) : P r i m e Minister Narendra Modi greeted Russian President Vladimir Putin with a warm embrace as he arrived in Delhi on Thursday on a two-day visit to hold the annual bilateral summit.

The two leaders exchanged pleasantries and walked hand-in-hand at the Prime Minister’s residence at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg, before they get down to business from Friday.

Putin, who was accompanied by a high-level delegation, was received by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj.

The 19th India-Russia Annual Bilateral Summit will take place on Friday during which Modi and Putin are expected to review bilateral defence cooperation in the wake of the US sanctions against Russian defence majors.

The two leaders are also likely to deliberate on key regional and global issues, including US sanctions on import of Iranian crude oil.

K Y M C

The focus during the visit will be on the S-400 Triumf air defence missile system agreement, with a top Kremlin aide saying Tuesday that Russian President Putin will oversee the signing of the USD 5 billion deal.

The purchase will violate sanctions under the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) instituted by the US Congress on arms purchases from Russia, but American lawmakers have indicated of a possibility of a presidential waiver. There have been indications by New Delhi that it will go ahead with the deal notwithstanding the US sanctions.

“India has maintained its sovereignty as regards to its relationship with countries. We shall maintain it in all earnestness,” Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had said recently when asked whether the US sanctions will hit India’s defence ties with Russia. India wants to procure the long-range missile systems to tighten its air

defence mechanism, particularly along the nearly 4,000-km-long Sino-India border.

S-400 is known as Russia’s most advanced long-range surface-to-air missile defence system.

China was the first foreign buyer to seal a governmentto-government deal with Russia in 2014 to procure the lethal missile system and Moscow has already started delivery of an undisclosed number of the S-400 missile systems to Beijing.

The S-400 is an upgraded version of the S-300 systems. The missile system, manufactured by Almaz-Antey, has been in service in Russia since 2007. Russia has been one of India’s key suppliers of arms and ammunition.

Sources had earlier said Modi and Putin would also deliberate on impact of US sanctions on import of crude oil from Iran.

Besides holding talks with Modi, the Russian leader will also have a meeting with President Ram Nath Kovind on Friday, according to MEA. He will also have an interaction with a group of talented children and address an India-Russia business meet. The last annual summit was held on June 1, 2017, during the visit of the prime minister to Russia.

In May, Modi had travelled to Russian coastal city of Sochi for an informal summit with Putin during which they discussed a range of crucial issues. Modi and Putin are also expected to explore ways to further deepen cooperation between the two countries in a number of sectors including trade, investment, connectivity, energy, space and tourism.

Brothers killed in Lucknow, one arrested

Lu c k now, O c t 4 (IANS): Two brothers were shot dead here around midnight by a few unknown attackers, police said on Thursday. One person has been arrested.

Twenty four-yearold Imran Ghazi and his brother Arman, 22, along with friend Nishant were on their way home after purcahsing medicines for their ailing father, when they were attacked near Bamba road in Thakurganj.

The Ghazi family told Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Kalanidhi Naithani that the brothers had a verbal spat with some men a few days back.

One man identified as Saahil has been arrested.

The police is on the lookout for the others.

Nishant, who survived the attack, said half-a-dozen assailants dragged the brothers out of the cab that Imran was driving.

They then beat them up with rods and sticks before shooting them dead at point blank range.

The friend somehow managed to escape and inform the Thakurganj police, who rushed to the spot only to find the two men lying in a pool of blood.

The attackers had escaped by then. The brothers were rushed to the Trauma Centre at the King George’s Medical University (KGMU) where they were pronounced dead on arrival.

A crowd had gathered at the crime scene raising anti-police slogans and demanding immediate arrest of the culprits. The area was tense after the killing. Reinforcements from eight police stations were deployed in the old city area.

Soon, travellers can use facial recognition biometric to enter airports New Delhi, Oct 4 (PTI): Travellers will soon be able to enter airports in the country with facial recognition biometric under the government’s Digi Yatra initiative.

Civil Aviation Minister Suresh Prabhu said the initiative would be “forward-looking and futuristic” and would be launched soon.

He also said facial recognition biometric feature would be optional for air passengers. Digi Yatra initiative seeks to promote paperless and hassle-free air travel.

It is biometrics-based digital processing system for passenger entry and related requirements at the airport. The Digi Yatra central platform would be

operational by end of February 2019. Bengaluru and Hyderabad airports would be ready for Digi Yatra implementation on pilot basis by the same time.

The Airports Authority of India (AAI) plans to roll out the initiative at Kolkata, Varanasi, Pune and Vijayawada airports

by April next year, as per the ministry.

Under Digi Yatra, there would be a centralised registration system for passengers and each of them would get a unique ID. The ID would be shared by passengers at the time of booking tickets. The ID can be created by sharing name, e-mail id, mobile number and details of any identity proof, including Aadhaar.

New Delhi, Oct 4 (PTI): Gold prices rallied

by Rs 70 to Rs 32,100 per 10 gram at the bullion market Thursday on the back of sustained buying by local jewellers amid firm global cues. However, silver eased

by Rs 50 to Rs 39,350 per kg due to reduced offtake by industrial units and coin makers.

Bullion traders said persistent buying by local jewellers and positive global cues, mainly kept gold higher. Globally, gold in narrow movements amid upbeat US economic data rose by 0.10 per cent to USD 1,198.06 an ounce in Singapore Thursday. In the national capital, gold of 99.9 and 99.5 per cent purity advanced by Rs 70 each to Rs 32,100 and Rs 31,950 per 10 gram, respectively. The precious metal had gained Rs 555 Wednesday.

Mumbai, Oct 4 (PTI): The rupee on Thursday crashed to a historic low of 73.81 to the dollar due to the twin-impact of capital outflows triggered by surging US Treasury yields and crude oil prices racing to a four-year high.

The domestic currency closed at a record low of 73.58, down by 24 paise or 0.33 per cent, marking its third straight session of losses. The rupee has lost 110 paise or 1.51 per cent in the three sessions since Monday largely due to strong demand dollar demand from oil importers amid firming oil prices and foreign capital outflows.

The US dollar strengthened against global peers after economic data signalled a thriving US economy which drove Treasury yields to a seven-year high of 3.23 per cent - a level not seen since mid-2011.

While blaming OPEC countries for the current increase in oil prices, he said, “One day they will find there is no market for crude oil.”

The minister added that the government had taken a decision to increase production of ethanol, which is important for the country. “As this is the time for India to find solutions for import substitutes, the chemical industry must work towards finding the solutions to curb imports of crude oil at rising prices,”

he said.

The minister also announced the government’s plans to start a pilot project in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Pune and Guwahati to run electric buses on methanol derived from coal.

Gadkari urged the Indian chemical industry to see if agriculture material can be used to make chemicals. “We have the technology to produce methane and agri waste to produce ethanol,” he said.

Globally, chemical industry is estimated at USD 4.7 trillion in 2017 it is also driven by demand from end use industries. Indian chemical industry is estimated to be valued at USD 163 billion in 2017 and contributes 3.4 per cent to the global chemical industry.

He said that the multiple education systems in the country were a dividing line and this had to be eradicated.

He said that the seminary students had the right to participate in all sectors of life and mainstreaming the madrassas was essential.

Mike Pompeo to visit China to defuse tensions

Beijing, Oct 4 (PTI): US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will visit China on October 8 to hold talks with top Chinese leaders amid escalating tension between the world’s two largest economies over trade and Beijing’s territorial claims in the South China Sea. Announcing Pompeo’s visit, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said in a statement on Wednesday that China and the US will exchange views on bilateral ties and regional and international issues of common concern.

The visit comes amid reports that China has cancelled talks with US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis after the US’ allegations that Chinese naval ship conducted unsafe manoeuvres near its destroyer Decatur when passed through the islands off the disputed South China Sea to assert freedom of navigation.

Hua, however, said it was Washington which proposed the postponement of the second round of their Diplomatic and Security Dialogue and refuted recent US media reports that China had proposed putting off the dialogue.

“Such an argument completely distorts the fact with ulterior motives and is extremely irresponsible,” she said. “The Chinese side expresses strong dissatisfaction.”

“The fact is the United States recently made a proposal to China that it hoped to postpone the dialogue,” Hua said.

“We demand the parties concerned stop fabricating and spreading rumours,” she said.

On Tuesday, Hua said China and the US had previously agreed in principle to hold the dialogue in mid-October, while the US recently proposed putting it off.

education sector was to end discrimination and to bring students of seminaries at par with other students, he added.

The delegation headed

by Mufti Muneebur Rehman included heads of madrassa boards of four mainstream schools of thoughts in the country and one belonging to the Jamaat-i-Islami.

Minister for Education Shafqat Mehmood, Religious Affairs Minister Noorul Haq Qadri and Minister of State for Interior Shehryar Afridi were also present at the meeting, the Express Tribune reported.

The delegation of prominent clerics congratulated Mr Khan over his election victory and backed his government’s reform agenda, it said.

Mainstreaming of the religious seminaries was part of the 20-point National Action Plan formulated in the wake of the deadly terror attack on Peshawar’s Army Public School (APS) in December 2014. However, not much progress has been made, the report said.

US mulls withdrawal US rejects Pakistan’s plea to from nuclear arms treaty facilitate talks with India: Qureshi

GENE V A , O c t 4 (Agencies): The United States hinted Thursday it might withdraw from a landmark Cold War nuclear arms reduction treaty if Russia does not stop “violating” the accord, AFP reported.

Washington has complained for nearly two years that a ground-launched missile system deployed by Russia breaches the 1987 Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF).

“This situation is untenable, and we have to take measures to deal with this continued violation of this very important treaty,” US ambassador on disarmament Robert Wood told reporters in Geneva.

He said that pushing Russia to “come back into compliance” with the INF would be a top US priority at disarmament meetings at the United Nations in New York next week.

But he added: “I just don’t know how much longer we can continue to live up to our obligations under this treaty with Russia violating this treaty so blatantly and openly.”

Russia has repeatedly

insisted its 9M729 missile system does not breach the treaty, but Wood said Moscow had long denied the weapon even existed.

“The Russians continue to obfuscate, deny, because this is what they do best,” he said.

His comments came after the US ambassador to NATO, Kay Bailey Hutchison, said Tuesday that Washington was looking to “take out the missiles that are in development by Russia”.

She later clarified that she was not suggesting the United States would launch pre-emptive strikes on Russia, but underlining the need for Western allies to find ways to counter any escalation.

NATO leaders have also raised concerns about the 9M729 system, and have urged Moscow to engage in dialogue to ensure the future of the INF treaty.

On Wednesday, NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg demanded that Moscow prove it is complying with the treaty, which was signed by US president Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in 1987.

Washington, Oct 4 (PTI): The US has rejected Pakistan’s plea to facilitate talks with India and pressed for the bilateral engagement between the two South Asian neighbours, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has said.

Pakistan wants the US to facilitate talks with India as the two nations are not engaging bilaterally, the top Pakistani diplomat told a Washington audience Wednesday.

“When we asked the US, to play facilitating role...

Why do we ask? Simply because we are not engaging bilaterally. And that bilateral disengagement is…a distraction,” Qureshi said in response to a question at the US Institute of Peace, a US Congress-funded top American think-tank.

“We want to focus, we want to move on the western side of the border, which we are not being able to because we have to watch our back from eastern side (of the border with India). That is not a healthy situation to be in,” he said.

“Now can you (United States) facilitate (the talks)?

JAKARTA, O ct 4 (Agencies): Almost a week after a quake-tsunami wreaked devastation in central Indonesia, scientists are zeroing in on what they believe caused the highly unusual natural disaster, AFP reported.

The 7.5 magnitude earthquake hit off Sulawesi island Friday and sent destructive waves charging into the coast, reducing buildings in Palu to rubble and sweeping people to their deaths.

The city was not regarded as being at high-risk of a tsunami and was left grossly unprepared for the catastrophe, which has so far claimed more than 1,400 lives with hundreds more injured and missing.

Now experts are piecing together the unlikely chain of events which laid waste to Palu.

The quake was a sideways -- rather than vertical -- movement of tectonic

plates, seen as unlikely to generate a tsunami.

But after sifting through mounds of data, scientists believe that the powerful tremor occurred over the vast length of a fault line, triggering underwater landslides that caused the tidal waves.

“This is an earthquake that is not the standard mechanism to generate a tsunami,” Costas Synolakis, director of the University of Southern California’s Tsunami Research Center, told AFP. “It’s fairly rare.”

When the monster waves did roll in, their force was intensified as they rushed down a narrow bay into Palu.

In recent years Sumatra has been the main focus of authorities’ concern when it comes to tsunamis as Aceh, on the island’s northern tip, was devastated by a deadly quake-triggered tsunami in 2004.

Officials fear another major quake and tsunami are inevitable at some point on the highly volatile fault line off the island’s west coast, meaning there was greater vigilance towards the threat than in Sulawesi.

Apart from a handful

of tsunami experts, few seemed worried that the fault line that cut through Palu would produce a tsunami, particularly as it is what is known as a “strikeslip” fault, where tectonic plates move sideways.

In the Aceh tsunami

and the majority of others, destructive waves were generated by a violent upward thrust of the Earth’s crust, not a sideways movement.

But such was the force of the quake off Sulawesi and the aftershocks that followed, one or more un-

derwater landslides are believed to have occurred that displaced huge quantities of water and sent waves barrelling into the coast.

‘Have to learn from this’ “There is reasonable confidence that this tsunami was triggered at least partially by a landslide,” Adam Switzer, a tsunami expert from Nanyang Technological University’s Earth Observatory of Singapore, told AFP. “It’s very unlikely the earthquake alone could generate a tsunami of that size.”

Even before the tsunami hit, the quake and the aftershocks that followed caused widespread devastation along the Sulawesi coast, with many buildings left in ruins and huge cracks ripped in roads.

But with officials not expecting such a catastrophic event in the area, Palu seemed ill-prepared.

Pakistan tells 18 international NGOs to leave Islamabad, Oct 4 (Agencies): Pakistan has ordered 18 international aid groups to shut down operations and leave the country, a spokeswoman for ActionAid said on Thursday, the latest move against foreign aid groups in the country.

ActionAid, which focuses on education, poverty alleviation and human rights and is headquartered in Johannesburg, said it had received an expulsion notice from Pakistan's Ministry of Interior, but a statement from the group did not say whether the ministry gave any reason for its decision.

A UK-based spokeswoman for ActionAid told Reuters that 17 other foreign-funded aid groups had received similar notifications but would not give their names.

Pakistan's interior ministry did not respond to messages asking about the expulsion orders, and the information ministry said it would check on the matter.

Pakistan has been clamping down on foreign-funded aid groups for several years, with one shutdown notice last year accusing a group of "pursuing (an) anti-state agenda".

tion leads to escalation and some of the statements that have come out of late have not been very helpful,” the Pakistani foreign minister said in an apparent reference to the remarks by Indian leaders.

The new government of Prime Minister Imran Khan, he claimed, is not shy of engaging.

Referring to the cancelling of his meeting with External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj in New York last month, he alleged that India backed off.

However, he quickly skipped India’s reasons for this – glorification of terrorists by issuing postal stamps and brutal killing of the Indian security personnel.

“If the Indians have a better option, share it with us. If disengagement, if not talking to each other will resolve and stabilise the region, fine. If that’s their analysis fine,” Qureshi said.

Qureshi, who left for Pakistan after his meetings with the Trump administration officials, said it is unfortunate that the two countries are not engaging.

Student bodies oppose road diversion near Wakching DIMAPUR, OCT 2 (NPN): Students’ unions of Wakching village, Wa k c h i n g t o w n a n d Wakching Chingla village have opposed the proposed diversion of two-lane highway (SARDP-NE) Merangkong-Tamlu- Mon road alignment at 58 km to 63 km near Wakching and urged chief minister Neiphiu Rio, deputy chief minister Y Patton, legislators and public leaders from the Land of Angh to save Wakching area from “deep social isolation”.

In a joint statement, Wakching Town Students’ Union president Chingak Konyak, Wakching Students’ Union president Methwang Konyak and Wakching Chingla Students’ Union president Chingjei Konyak explained that Wakching was the cradle of education for the Konyaks, besides being a historical place for the Nagas. They reasoned that the proposed diversion would affect many Central

F&SC Dimapur issues guidelines to fair price shops DIMAPUR: Food and Civil Supplies (F&CS) Dimapur, assistant director, N. Jamonger Ao, has issued several guidelines to Fair Price Shops (FPS) under Dimapur district.

and State government educational institutions, including Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya where students from all over Nagaland pursued education as it would be deprived from road connectivity.

The three leaders claimed that the upcoming Model Science College under Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan, which would be the only science college in the district, too would be affected, along with Wakching Government High School that was established in 1958 as the first high school on Konyak soil.

Government offices like SDO (civil), BDO, SDEO, CDPO and PWD SDO too would be affected, they added.

The leaders pointed out that the proposed diversion would affect eight villages – Wakching, Wakching Chingla, Lampong Wakching, Wanching, Wanching Yongmuoh, Chingphoi, Chindang and

Shiyong – and administrative headquarters Wakching.

The organisations also urged the State gove r n m e n t t o c a r e f u l ly analyse the proposal as NHIDCL had cited various reasons.

They claimed that in the first meeting held at Mon deputy commissioner’s office on July 9 this year, NHIDCL general manager Arun Kumar had stated that finance was not the only problem. He reportedly said gradient of the road at Wakching was high and thus did not fulfil the highway criteria.

But, public leaders of Wakching area challenged NHIDCL in the meeting at chief secretary’s office on August 28 and urged the State government to recheck the gradient through technical experts.

And so in the meeting held in presence of the chief Minister on September 27, NHIDCL changed its earlier vision and citied

financial constraint as the reason for diversion, they stated.

According to the students’ bodies, the difference between the existing road and proposed diversion was 8 km, but 90% of earth work was already complete in the current alignment of the road.

Therefore, citing of financial constraint was just an excuse, they alleged.

The students’ bodies asked the State government to push for retaining the existing road alignment, instead of listening to NHIDCL. They reasoned that, if the portion of 13 km of road was not included in the highway, the State government would then be forced to declare it as PWD road when the State’s coffer was almost empty.

With the State’s deficit running to Rs 1657.88 crore, it would be a blunder to take extra burden, they added.

KYO, ETMC clarify to allegations DIMAPUR: Reacting to the report published in a blog on social media regarding two tourists who had claimed to have faced harassment recently, the Khonoma Youth Organization (KYO) and Eco-Tourism Management Committee, Khonoma (ETMC) has refuted such claims.

In a press note, KYO president Keviniso Meyase and ETMC chairman Methaheto Chase said that the two bodies held a meeting on September 30 2018 and deliberated on the write-up

by Miss. Deborah Azzopardi from Malta.

Narrating the sequences of incidents, KYO and ETMC said Deborah’s write-up had “really messed things up by her indolent, deceitful behavior.”

They alleged that the couples (Deborah and Daryl Cauchi) infamous travelogue was full of lies, exaggerated incidents and having no connection to what they have actually encountered, but a deliberated attempt to malign the good reputation of Khonoma village (a tourist hotspot in Nagaland).

K YO a n d E T M C pointed out that the duo had never registered in this office as a tourist, which was mandatory for all tourists.

The committee, which has been in existence for a long, registers the inflow of tourist into the village, it added.

They claimed that the “two intruders” on September 23, 2018 halted their bike in the middle of the road and happened to meet a local gentleman, who was a renowned person in the state for tourism etc. The local person politely gave necessary information, however the duo never came to the village nor did any initial / formal registration which all tourist are supposed to do, but they drove off straight towards Dzüleke. Pitched their tent wherever they like and spent the night over there, they said.

The next day, KYO and ETMC said upon seeing a tent randomly pitched in the middle of the Mithuns’ (Bos frontolis) path, which have the instinct to trace the same path while coming to regularly feast on salt, some youths approached them and had a long discussion and enquired whether they had registered themselves.

The tourist instead got aggressive and replied to the youth using abusive words and tried to assault two youth, they claimed.

KYO and ETMC said despite being provoked, the five villagers neither raised their fist pointing at them, but rather it was Daryl who raised his fist pointing to the local people.

They said that the locals had never given them permission to them to pitch

their tent and more over the tourists had also never sought any permission later as to where they should set up a tent.

KYO and ETMC said that the write-up was exaggerated “with full of lies as if there is no rule of law applied to them.”

It also said that the man whom they referred to holding a Bible was not at all a Bible but a Hymn Book and that he was not involved in the quibble and never met them, but was hundreds of kilometers away.

Reacting to the fictitious designation as “youth council president”, KYO and ETMC said Khonoma village does not have any such council. It also said that the KYO president was out of station at that point of time and was in no way involved in the incident.

KYO and ETMC alleged that the duo later left the same evening after “openly defecating and also leaving behind their trash/ wastes at their campsite.”

In this regard, KYO and ETMC said that “the people of Khonoma have no better conclusion, but that they were some deceitful intruder though they may be boosting themselves as adventurous traveler.

Hence, such irresponsible /uninvited guests are not welcomed even in the near future.”

A written quiz on the life and works of Mahatma Gandhi was also conducted.

A programme was also held on October 2, for the campus teachers, staff and children where Bhajans on the life of Gandhi were played. B.K Nanda, principal of DPS Dimapur elucidated the context of each song, highlighting the core values, principles and ideals of Mahatma Gandhi.

Environment protection, a pressing challenge: PM

rective actions.

While the world is talking about climate change, the call for climate justice has also reverberated from India, he said.

Modi said climate justice is about safeguarding the rights and interests of the poor and marginalised sections of society who are often the biggest sufferers from the menace of climate change.

Referring to the United Nations’ Champions of the Earth Award presented to him, he said while he was extremely humbled at receiving the honour, he believes that this award is not for an individual.

Instead, it is a recognition of the Indian culture and values, which have always placed emphasis on living in harmony with Mother Nature, he said.

“It was a proud moment for every Indian to see India’s proactive role in mitigating climate change being acknowledged and appreciated,” he wrote.

Rahul says Rupee not breaking, is broken

New Delhi, Oct 4 (PTI): As the Rupee hit a record low of Rs 73.77 against the US dollar, Congress President Rahul Gandhi Thursday said the Indian currency is not breaking, but is “broken”.

The rupee collapsed to a fresh low of 73.77 against the US dollar Thursday, as global oil prices continued to rise, deepening concerns about the current account deficit and capital outflows.

“Breaking: Rupee slips to 73.77. It’s not breaking - it’s Broken,” Gandhi said on Twitter.

Gandhi Wednesday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi questioning his silence over the falling value of the Indian Rupee.

He tweeted in Hindi that fuel and gas prices are on the boil and there is an outcry in the public and asked till when the prime minister will be on silent mode.

“The rupee has crossed the 73 mark and price rise is causing an outcry. Fuel and gas prices are on fire and markets are scurrying.

Till when will the 56-inch

NEW DELHI, OCT 4 (PTI): Describing environment protection as a “pressing challenge”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for the need to spread public awareness about the issue and said it is vital to encourage research and innovation on subjects relating to the environment.

Modi, in a column published Wednesday for some dailies, said people need to talk, write, debate, discuss and deliberate as much as possible on questions relating to the environment.

“At the same time, it is vital to encourage research and innovation on subjects relating to the environment. This is when more people will know about the pressing challenges of our times and ways to mitigate them,” he said.

He said human beings and nature have a very special relationship and the first civilisations were established on the banks of rivers.

“Societies that live in harmony with nature flourish and prosper. Today human society stands at an important crossroads. The path that we take hereon will not only determine our wellbeing but also that of the generations who will inhabit our planet after us.

“The imbalances between our greed and necessities have led to grave ecological imbalances,” he said.

The prime minister cautioned that people can either accept this, go ahead with things as if it is business as usual, or take cor-

Modi meets Ganga expedition delegation

UP police not trigger-happy, lack of training behind killing of executive: DGP

New Delhi, Oct 4 (IANS): A group of about 40 enthusiasts, who are embarking on a month-long rafting expedition to create awareness on cleaning the River Ganga, met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday. Underlining the importance of a clean and vibrant Ganga, Modi urged the group to reach out to school children as part of their awareness activities.

The group includes eight mountaineers who have successfully climbed the Everest, and is led by Bachendri Pal, the first Indian woman to summit the peak.

The month-long “Mission Gange” river rafting expedition would see the group travel from Haridwar to Patna, with halts in Bijnor, Narora, Farrukhabad, Kanpur, Allahabad, Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, and Buxar in Bihar, an official statement said. “At each of these nine cities, the group will raise awareness about keeping the Ganga clean, and also undertake cleaning activities,” it added.

LUCKNOW, OCT 4 (PTI): Uttar Pradesh police is not trigger-happy but peoplefriendly, state police chief O P Singh said on Thursday, holding lack of professional training responsible for incidents such as that of the shooting of Apple executive Vivek Tiwari last week.

The DGP also said it has been decided that refresher course would be held for constables recruited between 2013 and 2017.

To a question on the killing of Tiwari (38) in Lucknow, he said, “The two constables (involved in the incident) are not brand ambassadors of the state police.”

“We are not triggerhappy but people-friendly.

Why did they shoot a person without a firearm? They have been arrested and dismissed (from service). A few such in the force should not be defining the culture of the force,” Singh told PTI. Vivek Tiwari was shot dead early on September 29 by a policeman when he allegedly refused to stop his car for checking in Luc-

know’s posh Gomti Nagar neighbourhood.

Two constables, Prashant Chowdhury and Sandeep Kumar, were arrested after an FIR was lodged on basis of a complaint by Tiwari’s colleague Sana Khan, who was travelling with him.

Holding lack of profession training responsible for such incidents, Singh said, “For the past couple of years, training was not imparted properly. It was failure of leadership of that time. The training was not professional and there was no emphasis on behavioural training.”

Elaborating further, the DGP said the training for constables recruited in 2013 were held in three phases.

First was for six months in which 20,166 recruitees were trained, the second was between July 1, 2016, to Dec 31, 2016, in which 15,814 were trained and in the third phase from August 20, 2016, to February, 2017, in which 3,798 recruitees were trained, he said.

“We are going to hold

chest be on ‘silent mode’,” he tweeted and asked what happened to the promise of ‘achche din’.

Consistent dollar demand from importers, mainly oil refiners, following higher crude oil prices, have kept the rupee under pressure. State-owned oil marketing companies have been allowed to raise USD 10 billion from overseas market to meet their working capital needs.

At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened lower and slipped further to a fresh low of 73.77 a dollar against 73.34, a fall of 43 paise.

refresher course for these constables. It will start from October 8 in Lucknow and will be done across the state, during which besides retired and serving officers, people from other walks of life will interact with constables.

Besides other aspects, our emphasis will be on behavioural training,” Singh said.

When asked about reports that constables were collecting money to help their arrested colleagues and gather support on social media, the DGP said, “We have alerted our officers and close watch is being kept on social media.”

The officers have been asked to interact with constable and tell them about the incident, and explain to them circumstances under which the two accused constables were arrested and dismissed, he said.

Emphasising on the need for better interaction, “direct dialogue” and friendly approach with the subordinate staff, the DGP said that he was the first one to have dinner with constables at a roadside restaurant.

suspended CRPF changes old training regime with Officials over ‘refusal’ to over 21K fresh jawans to be recruited register complaint NEW DELHI, OCT 4 (PTI): Concerned over its fresh recruits suffering injuries which have a lifelong impact, the CRPF has decided to “redesign” its old physical training regime to prepare tougher and agile soldiers who have to render hard duties in states hit by Naxal violence and militancy, the forces’ chief has said.

The over three-lakh personnel strong force is one of the biggest recruiters of young personnel in the ranks of constabulary and officers in the Assistant Commandant (AC) ranks and thousands of cadets get trained in its various academies round the year.

The decision assumes significance as the government a few months back had announced a mega recruitment drive in the constabulary ranks of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) like the CRPF, BSF and ITBP with a hiring of a total 54,953 personnel.

Out of these, the maximum at 21,566, will be recruited by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF).

CRPF Director General (DG) R R Bhatnagar told PTI after witnessing

R R Bhatnagar

a “substantial” number of personnel getting injured during the recruit training courses, the paramilitary force has decided to change the old training module.

“We saw that during basic training, a number of personnel were suffering hair line fractures or other forms of fractures.

Hence, we are re-designing the whole physical training regime. The new training modules will ensure that converting a young man into a tough trooper is done slowly and with due diligence. We have also revised our physical training regime,” the DG told the news agency.

Bhatnagar said a team of experts was working on to see as to what all could be done so that there is no “permanent effect” of an injury on a recruit.

“We are trying to see that jawans feel confident during their training days and are motivated to come out as the best from their training centres,” he said.

The aim to prepare strong, agile and healthy troops for the CRPF which is deployed as the lead counter-insurgency and internal security protection force in the country, he said.

“We are making scientific changes in the training regime so that can pace him (a newly recruited personnel) better. We will now gauge the strengths and weaknesses of every person and treat them accordingly so that they do not suffer lifelong injuries and even if they do so, the injury is minimal,” the CRPF chief said.

A senior official said while the physical exercises, combat drills and commando obstacle courses administered to recruits will be more or less the same, their intensity and application will be tweaked in the force now on as part of this change.

Palwal (Hry), Oct 4 (PTI): Two police personnel, including a woman sub-inspector, have been suspended and booked for allegedly not registering a rape victim’s complaint and forcing her to work out a compromise with the accused, Palwal SP Waseem Akram said on Thursday.

The two police personnel are SHO Santosh Kumar and SI Anju Devi.

“A departmental inquiry has also been initiated against them. The complaint has now been lodged and on its basis, a case registered against three others,” the SP said.

In her complaint, the 34-year-old woman said that on September 16 she had gone to a shop to purchase school bags for her children where a salesman told her to go to the basement to choose the product.

When she reached the basement, she was overpowered by the accused and sexually assaulted, police said, adding she later named three people allegedly involved in the incident.

When she approached the SHO, he allegedly did not register the FIR even a day after the incident and instead forced her to work out a compromise with the three accused, the SP said.

‘Punish’ Congress for fabricating voter list: Election body to top court

NEW DELHI, OCT 4 (AGENCIES): The Congress fabricated voters’ lists in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan to falsely claim duplication of names, the Election Commission told the Supreme Court today, asking that the party be punished for “misleading” the court.

Congress leaders Kamal Nath and Sachin Pilot had alleged duplication of names in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan and had approached the Supreme Court, which had directed the Election Commission to respond to the charge.

“Congress petitioners must be punished for fabricating the voters list,” the election body told the top court. The Congress rebutted the allegation and said what it had submitted to the Supreme Court was “whatever was available in the public domain”, and the same list, it claimed, was carried by the electronic media. The party also told the court that the same voters list, which the Election Commission says is faked, was given to the Chief Election Commissioner in CDs. As the election pan-

el denied it, the Supreme Court asked it to check.

The Supreme Court will again take up the case on Monday.

The Election Commission had argued that the lists submitted by the Congress had photos and names that were fudged.

Last month, Congress spokesperson and lawyer Abhishek Manu Singhvi, appearing for Kamal Nath and Sachin Pilot in court, said Mr Nath had carried out his own survey in Madhya Pradesh and had found over 60 lakh duplicate names.

India wants trade deal to keep me happy: Trump

Washington, Oct 4 (Agencies): US President Donald Trump on Monday slammed India for imposing “tremendously high tariffs” on American products and said that New Delhi wanted to have a trade deal with the US primarily to keep him happy.

Tr u m p ’s c h a r ge s against the alleged high Indian tariffs, for the second time in a few days, came during his White House news conference where he announced a new trade deal with neighbouring Mexico and Canada. s he announced the key elements of the US-Mexico and Canada Agreement or USMCA, Trump listed out at the trade deals that are under negotiations, including with Japan, European Union, China and India.

Trump described India as a “tariff king” as he reiterated his allegations that New Delhi has a high tariff rate on various American products.

Trump alleged that India puts “tremendously high tariffs” on American products and raked up the issue of Harley Davidson motorcycles.

“When we send Harley Davidson motorcycle, and

Donald Trump

other things to India, they charge us very very high tariffs. I have spoken to Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi and he is going to reduce them substantially,” he said.

Trump said the relationship with both India as well as the country’s Prime Minister Modi “is great”.

He, however, rued that no one from the previous regimes had ever spoken with the Indians.

“No body ever spoke to these people (Indians).

He (Modi) said, no body ever spoke to me. I am not trying to be overly dramatic.

We have had presidents of the United States and (US) Trade Representatives, they never spoke to India. Brazil is another one,” Trump said, adding that “they charge us

whatever they want”.

Noting that the tariff on motorcycles was 100 per cent, the president said it was like a barrier.

India has already reduced it substantially, but it is still too high, Trump said, adding that who is going to buy it as it costs so much.

India has already reduced it substantially, but it is still too high, Trump said, adding that who is going to buy it as it costs so much.

He also warned against imposing similar tariffs on import of Indian products.

Trump said India wanted to have a trade deal with the US and the negotiations are being carried out by the US Trade Representatives Robert Lighthizer.

When US officials asked Indians why they want to have a trade deal with America, Indian officials told them that they want to keep the US President happy, Trump told reporters.

“India, which is the tariff king, they called us and they said, ‘we want to start negotiations immediately’,” Trump said.

Thereafter, he referred to a conversation that Lighthizer had with the Indian officials.

International Israel to bolster forces along Gaza border JERUSALEM, Oct 4 (Agencies): The Israeli military said Thursday it was bolstering its forces along the Gaza border ahead of another expected explosive Hamas-orchestrated protest, Fox News reported.

Israel’s military chief, Lt. Gen. Gadi Eisenkot, ordered the fortifications to “thwart terror activity and prevent infiltrations into Israel” before Friday’s near-weekly border protest that has routinely turned violent.

Gaza’s Hamas rulers have staged the demonstrations since March to push for an end to the crippling Israeli-Egyptian blockade imposed after the Islamic militant group seized control of the coastal strip in 2007. Over the past month, the protests have escalated as Egyptian-mediated ceasefire efforts have faltered, fueling fears of another war.

Seven Palestinians, including two children, were killed last Friday, the deadliest day in nearly four months. On Wednesday, Israeli troops shot dead a 15-year-old Palestinian during a protest near a border crossing into Israel. Overall, Israeli troops have killed 145 Palestinians since March, including more than 30 children. A Gaza sniper killed an Israeli soldier in August.

Merkel pledges Germany’s fight against anti-semitism JERUSALEM, Oct 4 (Agencies): Chancellor Angela Merkel spoke of Germany’s “everlasting responsibility” to oppose anti-Semitism during a visit to Israel on Thursday as she and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu brushed past their differences and promoted cooperation between their nations, AFP reported.

The one-day visit by Merkel and members of her cabinet was part of German-Israeli government consultations held regularly, but came after Netanyahu’s harsh criticism of European countries over their efforts to keep alive the Iran nuclear deal.

Germany and other European countries have also repeatedly hit out at Israeli settlement building in the occupied West Bank and warned over threats to remaining prospects for a two-state solution to the conflict with the Palestinians.

But both leaders seemed determined to have the visit run smoothly, greeting each other warmly after Merkel’s arrival on Wednesday night and touring an innovation exhibit together on Thursday.

Merkel began the day with a visit to Israel’s Holocaust memorial high in the hills above Jerusalem.

After laying a wreath

in the Yad Vashem memorial’s solemn Hall of Remembrance, where an eternal flame burns, she spoke of Germany’s responsibility as the perpetrator of the Holocaust.

“From this comes the everlasting responsibility of Germany to remember this crime and to oppose anti-Semitism, xenophobia, hatred and violence,” she said, reading out the message she wrote in the memorial’s guest book.

Later after receiving an honorary doctorate from Israel’s Haifa University, she answered questions from students and touched on the Iran nuclear deal.

Netanyahu has urged European nations to follow the lead of US President Donald Trump and withdraw from the accord with

his country’s main enemy.

Germany, like other signatories to the deal, says it is preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons for now.

Merkel noted the Iranian presence in neighbouring Syria and how that has exacerbated the threat from Israel’s enemy.

She said the nuclear deal would be discussed further with Netanyahu.

“On the principle that everything must be done to prevent nuclear armament, we absolutely agree,” she said. Germany says the joint government meeting on Thursday afternoon will focus on economic ties, innovation and technology, while noting that the consultations have been in place for 10 years.

Felix Klein, who heads

the German government’s fight against anti-Semitism, is part of the delegation.

Fears over a resurgence in anti-Semitism in Germany are expected to be discussed.

Merkel said ahead of the trip that there was “unfortunately a lot of antiSemitism” in Germany, while also noting the two countries were linked by a “unique relationship”.

There was however no shortage of controversy in the run up to the visit.

Netanyahu’s criticism of Europe related to Iran has been especially strong, and last week at the UN General Assembly he accused EU nations of “appeasement”.

At the same time, Germany has remained steadfast in its support for a two-state solution and in recent weeks joined calls against Israel’s planned demolition of a Bedouin village located in a strategic area of the occupied West Bank.

On Wednesday, children from the village, Khan al-Ahmar, held signs with Merkel’s picture outside the German representative office in Ramallah to ask for help. Speaking to students from Haifa University, Merkel denied a report that she threatened to cancel the trip if Israel moved ahead with demolition of the village beforehand.

N. Korean hackers accused of stealing millions from global banks Iran ‘will deliver a slap, defeat America’, says Khamenei

Britain, Aus accuse Russian spies of global cyber attacks L ON D ON , OCT 4 (AGENCIES): Britain and Australia on Thursday accused Russian military intelligence of conducting a campaign of cyber attacks targeting political institutions, businesses, media and sport bodies around the world, AFP reported.

Operatives from Russia’s GRU arm carried out various “reckless and indiscriminate” high-profile online attacks, British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said in a statement.

Many have been previously linked to Moscow, including the 2017 “BadRabbit” ransomware targeting of a Ukrainian international airport and Russian media outlets, and the attempted hacking of the World Anti-Doping Agency in Switzerland, also last year.

“This pattern of behaviour demonstrates (the GRU’s) desire to operate without regard to international law or established norms and to do so with a feeling of impunity and without consequences,” Hunt said.

“Our message is clear: together with our allies, we will expose and respond to the GRU’s attempts to undermine international stability.”

K Y M C

Britain’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) named the GRU operatives as the perpetrators, according to the Foreign Office.

The NCSC has “high confidence” that the GRU was “almost certainly” responsible for the 2017 attacks, as well as others including the infamous targeting of the US Democratic Party ahead of the 2016 presidential election, Whitehall sources said.

The British government holds the Kremlin ultimately responsible for the cyber campaign, they added.

The Foreign Office described the alleged cyber campaign as a “flagrant violation of international law” that had cost national economies millions of pounds.

“These cyber attacks serve no legitimate national security interest, instead impacting the ability of people around the world to go about their daily lives free from interference, and even their ability to enjoy sport,” Hunt added.

“The GRU’s actions are reckless and indiscriminate: they try to undermine and interfere in elections in other countries; they are even prepared to damage Russian companies and Russian citizens.”

of Homeland Security warned of the use of malware by Hidden Cobra, the federal government’s byword for North Korea hackers, in fraudulent ATM cash withdrawals from banks in Asia and Africa.

It said that Hidden Cobra was behind the theft of tens of millions of dollars from teller machines in the past two years. In one incident this year, cash had been simultaneously withdrawn from ATMs in 23 different countries, it said.

North Korea, which prohibits access to the world wide web for virtually all its people, has previously denied involvement in cyberattacks, and attribution for such attacks is rarely made with absolute certainty. It is typically based on technical indicators such as the Internet Protocol, or IP, addresses that identify computers

and characteristics of the coding used in malware, which is the software a hacker may use to damage or disable computers.

This activity has been taking place against the backdrop of a dramatic diplomatic shift as Kim Jong Un has opened up to the world. He has held summits with South Korean President Moon Jae In and with President Trump, who hopes to persuade Kim to relinquish the nuclear weapons that pose a potential threat to the U.S. homeland. Tensions on the divided Korean Peninsula have dropped and fears of war with the U.S. have ebbed. Trump this weekend will dispatch his top diplomat, Mike Pompeo, to Pyongyang for the fourth time this year to make progress on denuclearization.

But North Korea has

yet to take concrete steps to give up its nuclear arsenal, so there’s been no let-up in sanctions that have been imposed to deprive it of fuel and revenue for its weapons programs, and to block it from bulk cash transfers and accessing the international banking system.

Sandra Joyce, FireEye’s head of global intelligence, said that while APT38 is a criminal operation, it leverages the skills and technology of a state-backed espionage campaign, allowing it to infiltrate multiple banks at once and figure out how to extract funds. On average, it dwells in a bank’s computer network for 155 days to learn about its systems before it tries to steal anything. And when it finally pounces, it uses aggressive malware to wreak havoc and cover its tracks.

T e h r a n, O c t 4 (Agencies): The people of Iran face a sensitive time because of the pressure from America and economic problems, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a key address broadcast by state television today, Reuters reported.

Khamenei was speaking to tens of thousands of members of the Basij militia and top Revolutionary Guards leaders gathered in a stadium in Tehran.

Iran must deliver a slap

and defeat America by defeating sanctions, Khamenei said in his speech.

“With the kindness of God we will defeat sanctions and the defeat of sanctions is the defeat of America,” Khamenei said.

“And America must receive another slap from the people of Iran with the defeat of sanctions.”

Discord between Iran and the United States has worsened since US President Donald Trump withdrew from a multilateral nuclear deal with the Is-

lamic Republic in May and reimposed sanctions.

“The situation of the nation, region and world is sensitive, especially for us the people of Iran,” Khamenei said.

“Sensitive in this respect that on one hand we have the shouting of the arrogant powers and politicians of imperialist America...on another hand the economic problems of the nation and the tightness of the livelihood of a large portion of the weak people in the country.”

In all, FireEye says, APT38 has attempted to steal $1.1 billion, and based on the data it can confirm, has gotten away with hundreds of millions in dollars. It has used malware to insert fraudulent transactions in the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication or SWIFT system that is used to transfer money between banks. Its biggest heist to date was $81 million stolen from the central bank of Bangladesh in February 2016. The funds were wired to bank accounts established with fake identities in the Philippines.

After the funds were withdrawn they were suspected to have been laundered in casinos.

Washington, Oct 4 (Agencies): A hacking group linked to the North Korean regime is accused of stealing hundreds of millions of dollars by infiltrating the computer systems of banks in at least 11 countries since 2014, Fox News reported.

A report by the American cybersecurity firm FireEye described the group -- which it dubbed APT38 -- as “a large, prolific operation with extensive resources” and warned that it “remains active and dangerous to financial institutions worldwide.”

The document says APT38’s initial operations targeted banks in Asian countries -- including Vietnam, Malaysia and Taiwan -- where North Korea had experience in money laundering, but then expanded into such far-flung countries as Brazil, Turkey,

Priyanka Chopra turns tech investor A c t r e s s P r i ya n k a Chopra is excited to embark on a new “chapter” as an investor in tech start-up Holberton School, a coding education company, as well as in dating and social media app Bumble.

This is also an effort on her part to help change the tech industry’s gender disparity.

“A new chapter for me! I am so excited to partner with Bumble and Holberton School as an investor. I’m honoured to join two companies that strive to expand gender diversity in the tech space, and make a social impact for the greater good... let’s do this,” Priyanka tweeted on Thursday.

It is her first project as a start-up investor, and Priyanka recently toured the San Francisco home of her new portfolio company -- the school which uses projects and group learning instead of more traditional courses, to teach software development, according to The New York Times.

The actress’ investment in Holberton is part of an $8.2 million round of funding for Holberton that closed in April. She will join the company’s board of advisers, and will emphasise support for Holberton’s mission to educate people from underprivileged backgrounds.

Her investments will skew heavily toward companies with an element of social impact, and compa-

“I don’t want to just be one of those people who’s like, ‘Yeah, I want to be on the tech bandwagon -- how are they making so much money?’ It’s not about that,” said Priyanka, who is engaged to American singer Nick Jonas, has been squeezing in meetings with start-up founders and lined up future investments in between her hectic schedules.

“Geeks are taking over the world. If they haven’t already,” said the “Quantico” star, who has joined the bandwagon of celebrities like Ashton Kutcher, Leonardo DiCaprio, who have invested in tech startups too.

Priyanka said she did not yet know how many deals she would do or how much money she would invest, but she does plan on building a portfolio.

Her second investment is in Bumble, a dating and social media app founded

by Whitney Wolfe Herd.

She plans to help promote Bumble’s launch in India in the coming months, reported The New York Times.

Priyanka was introduced to tech investing by her manager Anjula Acharia, a founder and angel investor who spent time as an entrepreneurin-residence and partner at Trinity Ventures, a Silicon Valley venture capital firm.

The two have worked together since 2010.

‘Rambo’ star Sylvester Stallone reveals the 5th film’s new look

T

he film’s legendary star, Sylvester Stallone, took to Instagram Tuesday to reveal his new look in the upcoming installment of the series.

The actor revealed that “Rambo” will take on a Western theme, after sharing a photo of himself clad in a cowboy hat, a grey, plaid shirt and gloves.

Stallone captioned the Instagram image, “Tonight we start filming...”

He later shared another photo of himself decked out in full Western gear while on top of a horse, which he captioned, “Comes a Horseman Wild and Free. @rambomovie #rambo5.”

In addition to sharing

backstage footage of the new film, the 72-year-old actor – who first starred as John Rambo in 1982 – shared videos of himself getting into shape for the role.

A week ago, the “Rambo” star posted an Instagram video of his intense workout with the caption,

“Leaving to start Rambo in about five days!! Even though I hate it, all Serious and balanced strength starts with the abs…Fire in the gut!”

After starring in the first “Rambo” film, entitled “First Blood,” the actor reprised the role three years later in “Rambo:

First Blood Part II.” Following the second installment and the success of the film, Stallone went on to make “Rambo III” and “Rambo.”

Jean-Claude Van Damme’s son Nicholas Tanushree gets legal notice Backstreet Boys cancel Oklahoma sentenced to probation in Arizona knife incident from Patekar, Vivek Agnihotri concert where 14 fans were injured

T

he youngest son of martial arts actor Jean-Claude Van Damme was sentenced Wednesday to 18 months of probation after he pleaded guilty to a disorderly conduct charge stemming from a 2017 incident in which he held his roommate at knifepoint in Tempe, Ariz.

Tempe Police said Nicholas Francois Van Varenberg, 22, retrieved a knife and prevented his roommate, who was not identified, from leaving their apartment after he became upset with him for answering the door.

The Arizona Republic reported at the time that Van Varenberg was

seen on surveillance video at University House apartments punching the wall of an elevator, and when police arrived at the residence they followed a trail of blood that led them to the apartment.

Officers questioned Van Varenberg and left the scene, but returned after receiving a complaint of banging and yelling coming from the apartment the two men shared.

Van Varenberg also faced charges of kidnapping, possession or use of marijuana, and possession or use of drug paraphernalia. However, those charges were dropped as a result of his guilty plea on Aug. 15.

Shaw’s historic ton puts India on top

Score: India 364/4 at stumps against West Indies on day one

Indian batsman Prithvi Shaw celebrates his century on day one of the 1st test cricket match against West Indies, in Rajkot, Thursday, (PTI)

Rajkot, Oct 4 (PTI): Teenage sensation Prithvi Shaw announced his arrival in top-flight cricket by becoming the youngest Indian to score a Test century on debut, headlining the home team’s march to 364 for four against West Indies on day one of the series-opener here.

Shaw (134 off 154) and Cheteshwar Pujara (86 off 130) laid the foundation

for a big score with a 206run partnership after the early loss of K L Rahul (0).

Skipper Virat Kohli (72 not out off 137) and his deputy Ajinkya Rahane (41 off 92) then took the innings forward with a 105-run stand in the final session, putting India in the driver’s seat before the latter was caught behind off spinner Roston Chase.

Kohli looked set for

another hundred and was batting alongside Rishabh Pant (17 not out off 21) at close of play. Eighty nine overs were bowled on day one with India scoring at 4.08 runs per over.

T h e We s t I n d i e s, handed a big setback even before toss with the lastminute withdrawal of captain Jason Holder, looked ordinary at best on the field. Barring pacer Shanon Gabriel (1/66), none of the bowlers troubled the Indian batsmen on a greenish surface which did not seem to do much.

The opposition attack was far from threatening but due credit must be given to Shaw, who batted like a seasoned campaigner in his first match for India.

His back-foot play off the pacers was a treat to the eyes and when spinners were deployed, he was not afraid to use the long handle.

At 18 years and 329 days, Shaw reached the milestone off just 99 balls, adding to a host of records he holds in his blossoming career. He had earlier made waves by reaching three figures in his first Ranji Trophy appearance and was the youngest to hit a century on Duleep Trophy

debut.

In the process, Shaw also became the second youngest Indian to score a maiden Test ton after the legendary Sachin Tendulkar.

Shaw, who was 75 not out at lunch, reached the three figures in the afternoon session with a typical punch to the cover, the same way he got his first runs in international cricket.

More than half of his runs came through boundaries, 19 in total.

Unfortunately, Shaw fell at the stroke of tea, in what was a soft dismissal as he chipped one straight into the hands of leggie Devendra Bishoo.

He was not facing one of the best attacks but he gave ample evidence of his brilliance on way to a memorable hundred. Pujara too looked at ease at the other end until he was caught behind off debutant Sherman Lewis, missing out on a 16th Test ton.

In the morning, Shaw, who became the 293rd cricketer to represent India in Tests, showed supreme confidence from ball one, on which he offered a watchful leave.

punched the second ball he faced towards the cover boundary for a three, his first runs in international cricket, easing whatever nerves left inside.

Gabriel was clocking in the higher 140kph but that did not faze Shaw. Gabriel trapped his opening partner Rahul in front with a sharp incoming delivery to give the West Indies an early breakthrough. Rahul was better off not taking the DRS as the ball was clearly crashing into the stumps.

Shaw, however, continued batting with confidence and his first boundary came in the second over bowled by Keemo Paul, another back foot punch towards the point boundary.

He got more aggressive in Paul’s following over, hitting him for three fours as the pacer was duly punished for bowling far too many looseners. After Rahul’s dismissal, Shaw and Pujara gave the innings a move on and did not look in any sort of trouble.

While Shaw punched and drove effortlessly off pacers, he was equally comfortable against the spin duo of Bishoo and Chase.

North East Utd beat ATK 1-0

Ko l k at a , O c t 4 (PTI): Northeast United FC defeated former champions ATK by a solitary goal in an Indian Super League football fixture at the Saltlake Stadium on Thursday.

The home side, who kicked off the fifth ISL season with a 0-2 loss to Kerala Blasters, were reduced to 10 players in the 32nd minute when Sena Ralte was sent off for a sloppy challenge.

The visitors found the winner through Rowllin Borges from 89th minute corner by Federico Gallego.

It was the Highlanders’ first win against the Kolkata franchise from five matches as the win took the Eelco Schattorie-coached side to the top of the table with four points from two matches.

ATK still struggled to get off the blocks and they remain at the bottom of the 10 team standings.

NEUFC had last beaten ATK way back in October in the 2016 season.

ATK had a brilliant chance in the 52nd minute against the run of play when Noussair floated in his free kick from the left side but Everton Santos flicked it on towards the far post with his head.

Captain Manuel Lanzarote got a foot on the ball

but TP Rehenesh thwarted the effort. The visitors started the brighter of the two sides with a sweeping move down the left resulting in Federico Gallego finding some space for a shot but Gerson Vieira was on hand to close down the danger.

The hosts’ first real attacking threat came after some good work by Balwant Singh down the left flank. The India forward set the ball up for Lanzarote but the Spaniard’s snapshot was some way off target.

Playing with the numerical advantage, the Guwahati franchise nearly struck in the dying minutes of the first half with Bartholomew Ogbeche and Gallego combining well to release Tlang down the left.

The winger’s low cross across the face of goal found Ogbeche’s run but defender John Johnson got a foot to deny the Nigerian.

NSF trophy: Eagles thrash VYSA 8-0

Correspondent

Kohima, Oct 4 (NPN): Kohima Eagles FC thrashed Rüsoma VYSA 8-0 at the 19th NSF Martyrs Memorial Trophy at local ground, Kohima on Thursday.

In another match, St. Joseph College (SJC) Jakhama beat Kijümetouma Village Students’ Union (KVSU) 5-4 via tie-break after the match ended in 4-4 draw in the stipulated time. In the lopsided contest, Kohima Eagles rode off to an easy win with goals from Khweteli Thopi, Rhitso Mero, Mengüzelie Rütsa

and Noune Medoze.

Khweteli Thopi opened the account in the 3rd minute. He scored the second goal in the 33rd minute. The third and fourth goals were scored by Rhitso Mero in the 49th & 60th minutes, while Mengüzelie Rütsa and Noune Medoze also scored two goals each in the 74th, 79th & 90+ minutes.

Kevizapu Lhoungu and Noune Medoze of Kohima Eagles FC and Ruokovizo Pfükri of Rüsoma VYSA were all cautioned for foul play. SJC overcome KVSU vie tie break after thrilling 4-4

draw in the stipulated time.

KVSU took an early lead when Neitho-o Theünuo scored in the 8th minute followed by Niuka in the 10th minute.

However, their joy was short lived as SJC found the equalizer when Edward scored two goals in the 15th & 22nd minutes.

KVSU again took the lead in with Sikito netting in the 32nd minute. This time also the lead lasted only for few minutes, as SJC responded in the 34th minute, Kapzei converting a spot kick. The first session ended

in 3-3 stalemate.

After the breather, KVSU again took the lead after Neitho-o Theünuo netted the fourth goal two minutes into the second session.

St. Joseph tried their best to restore parity but could not succeed. And, when KVSU were heading for victory, SJC’s Kapzei rose on the occasion to score the much needed equalizer in the 90+minute. Hotobo of SJC received yellow card for foul play. SJC will now take on Kohima Eagles in the Round of 16 on October 12 at 2.p.m.
