‘Geographical Indication registration LPG shortage puts consumers in a fix imperative to protect traditional attires’

Dimapur LPG consumers stand in queue at Dhobinala in Dimapur on Friday. (NP)

Staff Reporter

ers have to place an order or book LPG 21 days in advance. Even as the subsidised cooking gas (LPG) price was hiked recently by Rs 2.89 per cylinder to Rs 502.4 per cylinder, LPG has become a scarce commodity for people in town. There appears to be a huge gap between the demand and supply of LPG cylinders. Talking to Nagaland Post, a consumer complained that she had been waiting in front of the agency just to book LPG since wee hours.

It was reported that price of LPG cylinder in the black market has touched Rs. 1400. The actual rate of the same for consumers with gas card recently rose from Rs. 840 to Rs. 940. In the absence of an effective SMS or an Integrated Voice Response (IVR) system or even the facility of booking over the telephone, the consumers had no option but to give up other important activities and stand in queue just to book for a refilled cylinder. Talking to this reporter, some of the consumers,

who had been in the queue at Dhobinala junction since early morning, claimed that the distributors have expressed their inability to deliver refilled cylinders to consumers due to shortage of cylinders. “Dealers say delay of supply of cylinders is inevitable. But at the same time one can get the cylinder from a broker by paying extra Rs. 500”, lamented an elderly woman standing in the queue. Another consumer complained that the minimum period to book a refilled cylinder was 21 days, but even after placing the order the consumers were made to wait for more days. Most of the consumers complained that gas agencies have started charging exorbitant rate for delivery while some pointed out that irregular subsidy has added to their woes. Despite the attempts by the district administration to address the issue, the consumers said their grievances have remained unsettled. The responsible authorities could not be reached for comment about the scarcity of LPG.

DIMAPUR, OCT 5 (NPN): Shortage of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in Dimapur is giving a hard time to the consumers, who despite booking for LPG cylinder in advance fail to get their refills on time. Scenes of consumers queuing up for long hours in front of LPG distributing agency offices to place an order for the refilled cylinder has resurfaced since mid August across NEW DELHI, OCT 5 Dimapur town.

KOHIMA, OCT 5 (NPN): Taking serious note of misuse of Naga traditional apparels and ornaments, department of science and technology conducted orientation programme for various units of tribal women organisations at the directorate here on Friday. Scientist Dr Nesatalu Hiese of Nagaland Science & Technology Council’s (NASTEC) Patent Information Centre (PIC) here underlined the importance of protecting the Naga traditional attires and ornaments by getting registered with Geographical Indication (GI) whereby a name or sign was used on certain products that corresponded to a specific geographical location or origin. Hiese said GI Act, 1999 was the first law providing legal protection to GI in India, making unauthorised use of GI by others an offence, adding “type”, “style”, “kind” would not

be permitted once GI was registered and it would prevent marketing imitation products. She explained that registering with GI would enable local populace to derive economic benefit out of their products as GI tag was a marketing tool and that traditional apparels would be legally protected from unauthorised use. So far GIs had been obtained for Naga mircha owned by horticulture department, Naga tree tomato by agriculture department and recently Chakhesang Women Welfare society registered Chakhesang shawls under GI, she added. Heise said use of GI could act as a certificate that the product possessed certain qualities, made according to traditional methods, or enjoyed a certain reputation due to its geographical origin. She said each Naga tribe had a rich tradition, culture and attires and the

apparels, being very fancy, tended to attract outsiders to misuse them by taking advantage of ignorance. Explaining the procedure of filing GI application, the scientist said once outsiders got GI registered, it would be difficult to reclaim ownership. She informed the participants that PIC was established in Nagaland to protect such cases. However, she regretted that many tribes had not registered, even as she assured all possible assistance to those groups who wish to get registered. Technical assistant Gihukali Chishi spoke on intellectual property rights (IPR), perhaps the only right which can be simultaneously enjoyed in more than one country. Chishi explained on patents, copyrights, trademarks, industrial designs, GIs, layout design of integrated circuits, plan variety protection and farmers’ rights and trade secret.

‘Islamist fundamentalists in B’desh threat to NE states’

Spl. Correspondent

G UWA H AT I , O C T 5 (NPN): Rise of Islamist extremism in Bangladesh is not only posing a serious threat to the country, but also to neighbouring North Eastern States of India, besides West Bengal. Speaking to journalists at Guwahati Press Club on Friday afternoon through video conferencing, prominent Bangladeshi journalist Saleem Samad said his country was witnessing an upsurge of fundamentalist forces, which is now not only a serious threat to minority communities there, but also to secularists, intellectuals and even other sects within the Muslim community. He narrated how secularist bloggers are increasingly becoming the target of the extremist forces in the country. He said Bangladesh was slowly but steadily on the path of becoming a country of one nationality (Bangladeshi), one language (Bengali) and one religion (Islam). Samad explained that due to overwhelming majority of followers of the

Sunni sect of Islam in the country and among whose members a considerable rise of extremism has been witnessed, other minority sects within the Muslim community like Shias, Ahmadiyas, etc, too fear a serious threat to their existence. Citing how a network of Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh was busted in West Bengal few years back, the senior Bangladeshi journalist urged the NE States of India to remain alert about jihadi elements. He said thousands of Bangladeshi youth were scattered across the current trouble hotspots of the world, including Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Palestinian territories, etc, and fighting alongside the jihadis. He, however, reiterated that currently no militant outfit from NE India has bases in his country due to the crackdown launched against them few years back. On freedom of expression, particularly press freedom, prevailing in Bangladesh, Samad said journalists were frequently coming under attack from both State

and non-State actors. He regretted that though 26 Bangladeshi journalists lost their lives since 1991, not a single accused has been arrested till date. In another significant remark, Samad divulged that none of the Indian leaders visiting Dhaka had taken up the issue of alleged Bangladeshi infiltrators issue of Assam with his country’s leaders. Samad also remarked that update of National Register of Citizens currently on in Assam was an internal affair of India, and which was the official stand of the government there too. Strongly advocating people-to-people contact between Assam and Bangladesh, the senior journalist regretted how the State had missed the bus despite being so closely located. Calling for starting bus service between Guwahati and Dhaka, besides direct flights between the two cities, Samad opined that trade and commerce and cultural ties will help in doing away with many misconceptions prevailing on both sides of the international divide.

No plans to implement NRC in Tripura: Govt New Delhi, Oct 5 (PTI): The Centre made it clear on Friday that it has no plans to implement the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Tripura, after a similar exercise was carried out in Assam to identify illegal immigrants. In a statement, the Home Ministry said a delegation of the Indigenous Nationalist Party of Tripura (INPT), led by its president Bijoy Kumar Hrangkhawl, met Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday but no assurance had been given to the team regarding implementation of NRC in the state. “The home minister met a delegation of INPT on October 4. However, no assurance of any kind was given by the home minister regarding the implementation of NRC in Tripura. It is categorically asserted that no decision has been taken on the issue of NRC in Tripura,” the statement said. The ministry also said news reports, appearing after the meeting, about likely implementation of NRC in Tripura “are absolutely incorrect and mischievous”.

VC against withdrawal of security from MU campus Correspondent

IMPHAL, Oct 5: Manipur University vice chancellor in-charge K Yugindro Friday protested against withdrawal of security forces from the varsity campus. He has also sought Y-category security guard claiming that his life was at risk. Following the first round of talks with the agitating Manipur University Teachers’ Association (MUTA) and Manipur University Staff Union (MUSA), Manipur government has withdrawn the security forces deployed inside the Manipur University on October 1 last, leaving behind only the police personnel detailed at the administrative block of the varsity. The state government deployed the security forces inside the Manipur University campus following a raid inside the campus on the intervening night of September 20 and 21. The raid was conducted after an FIR was lodged by prof K Yugindro who was allegedly manhandled by teachers and students when he entered to join office as vice chancellor

In his letter to Ministry of Human Resource Development, the VC in-charge also protested against state Governor Dr Najma Heptulla for questioning him for taking the

charge of vice chancellor in-charge.

‘Delete names of non tribal from voters list’ Diphu, Oct 5: The conglomerate of 24 plus organisations Friday organised a mass demonstration demanding deletion of names of all non tribal voters from the voters list of Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council. The organisations also demanded the authorities to prepare fresh voters list as per provisions made under paragraph 20 of the sixth schedule. The other demands include preparation of indigenous rules and acts by KAAC under the provisions of the sixth schedule of Indian Constitution, cancellation of Assam Land and Revenue Regulation Act 1886 and to replace it with customary land law, restoration of tribal customary law and to constitute village council under the provision of the sixth schedule of Indian Constitution.

minister observed. While the state government has been initiating various steps to curb corruption menace in the

state, some RTI applicants were using the Act as a tool to extort government officials, he said. “Some individuals or groups were indulging in extracting information for implementation of certain government schemes or projects. When they detected certain irregularities in the process of implementation of the scheme or project, instead of pressing the concerned authority to rectify it, they blackmail the government officials,” he claimed. Some individuals who applied for information through RTI withdraw their application after negotiating with the concerned

in-charge. The situation in the Manipur University campus is “alarming” after the withdrawal of the security forces, prof Yugindro stated in his letter to the Union Ministry of Human Resource Development protesting the latest move of the state government. He sought intervention of the Ministry of Human Resource Development and to do the needful at the varsity campus “in order to save the university from the hands of terrorist like agitators who desire to run the university at their fancy at the behest of a parallel authority.” Prof Yugindro also claimed that the “hardearned normalcy of the university is now gravely threatened” because of the U-turn stand of the state government. Some members of Manipur University Staff Union (MUSU) have on October 3 last threatened officials of the university to stop supply of admission forms from the cash counter of the administrative block and have also threatened departments not to accept the filled-in admission forms.

Modi govt at war with Indians: Rahul However, Gandhi suggested that the BSP will form an alliance with the Congress in the 2019 general elections. “I think in national elections parties will come together particularly in Uttar Pradesh,” he said, adding the BSP has indicated that it may come on board for the 2019 elections.

New Delhi, Oct 5 (AGENCIES/PTI): In a blistering attack on the Narendra Modi government, Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Friday said it has gone into a war with its own people imposing a single suffocating ideology on 1.3 billion Indians. Delivering the keynote address at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2018, here, Gandhi lashed out at the Bharatiya Janata Party regime saying it dislikes thinkers like journalist-activist Gauri Lankesh who was shot dead last year and others who are sacked merely for criticising the Prime Minister. “What we see today in India is defaming, a maligning of the Indian imagination. The Indian government has gone into war with its own people because it wants to impose one ideology on 1.3 billion of us. “It wants to impose one singular suffocating memory on our 1.3 billion people,” said Gandhi in his scathing criticism of the Modi rule. “What is the nature of the war, farmers are committing suicide by the thousands. Economy is decimated, rupee is on its knees, petrol is at an all-time high, the stock market is imploded, 12 lakh crore in NPAs and the banking system is jammed shut. Unemployment is at a 20-year high. “Unorganised sector has been decimated as a result of the demonetisation and extremely complex multilayered GST. Millions and millions of small and medium business have

been wiped out. Public confidence is in tatters,” he said castigating the government’s policies. He said peoples’ aspiration was turning into anger -- Dalits and tribals agitating across the country and there are vicious attacks on the minorities. “Our friends in the media are sacked because they criticised the Prime Minister, Gauri Lankesh is shot dead because of what she wrote. “Fresh thinking is unwelcome, in fact, forget about fresh thinking they dislike thinkers -- (former Reserve Bank of India Governor) Raghu Ram Rajan, (Nobel laureate) Amartya Sen...the list goes on. Gandhi said “institutions are attacked, Supreme Court judges are compelled to go public because they feel intimidated and in the same breath they speak of Judge B.H. Loya (a CBI judge who died under mysterious circumstances in 2014), they speak of their fear”. He said the sole quali-

Ranchi, Oct 5 (PTI): The CBI has moved the Jharkhand High Court seeking that the prison term of RJD chief Lalu Prasad be enhanced from three-anda-half to seven years in the Deoghar Treasury case in the multi-crore fodder scam. The CBI said other convicts in the case relating to fraudulent withdrawal of Rs 89.27 lakh from the Deogarh Treasury were awarded seven years in prison by a special CBI court on January 6 this year. It argued that all convicts should face the same prison term as the charges

Mayawati’s decision will not impact Cong

Meanwhile Rahul Gandhi Friday said BSP chief Mayawati’s decision not to have an alliance with his party in Madhya Pradesh will not impact its poll prospects in the state even as he suggested that the BSP may come on board for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. “I don’t see the BSP alliance impacting us much in Madhya Pradesh,” Gandhi said while speaking at the HT Leadership Summit here. However, he said it would have been better to have an alliance and expressed confidence that the party will win upcoming assembly elections in all states --- Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Telangana.

Lalu Prasad (file) and witnesses against all of them were the same. In the petition filed on Thursday, the CBI also sought enhanced prison terms for ex-MP R K Rana, former IAS officers Beck

Rahul said he will become prime minister if allies want him but the first step is for all parties to get together and defeat the ruling BJP. It’s a two-stage process and a decision on who will be prime minister comes second, Gandhi said. “We have had discussions with allies and what we decided is that this is a two stage process stage -- one is to get together and defeat BJP and stage two is, once the election is over then we will decide what happens,” the Congress president explained. Probed further about the possibility of him becoming prime minister, Gandhi said, “If they (allies) want me, sure... I will.” Gandhi said he has been going to temples, gurdwaras and mosques for years, but the issue of his visits to temples has suddenly been publicised. “I guess BJP doesn’t like it. It infuriates them. BJP feels only they can go to temples,” he said. He added that while he does not see India in blocks, he believes every Indian is a stakeholder.

The CBI also filed another petition challenging the acquittal of former Bihar chief minister Jagannath Mishra, Vidya Sagar Nishad and Dhruv Bhagat in the case. The probe agency contended that the special CBI court did not focus properly on the evidence even though it was adequate. Evidence of conspiracy was also there against them, it said.

Left organisations to hold protests over Rafale deal from October 22

New Delhi, Oct 5 (PTI): More than 100 organisations affiliated to various Left parties will jointly launch a week-long nationwide protest from October 22 to “expose” the alleged scam in the purchase of 36 Rafale fighter jets from France. During the ‘Jan Ekta Jan Adhikar Andolan’, they will demand a joint parliamentary committee probe to “unearth the corruption” in the Rafale deal and the resignation of Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. Convenor of JEJA and CPI(M) lawmaker Hannan Mollah Friday alleged that the multi-crore Rafale deal is the largest defence scam in the country. “The Rafale deal is a major corruption that needs a thorough investigation by a joint parliamentary committee. Only a JPC probe can bring all the shady details behind the deal before public,” said Mollah. Questioning the government’s “nationalism” claim, Mollah said “Prime Minister Narendra Modi is misusing nationalism to cover the loot of public money”.

New Delhi, Oct 5 (PTI): The CBI carried out searches at the Delhi residence of the Deputy Director General of Competition Commission of India (CCI) in connection with the Tamil Nadu gutka scam, officials said Friday. The searches were conducted at the East Delhi residence of Ravi Chandran, the CCI Deputy Director General who was earlier posted as Senior Intelligence Officer at the Directorate General of Central Excise Intelligence (DGCEI) in Chennai, they said. The agency has carried out searches after getting inputs about his suspected role in the scam as a DGCEI officer during 2013-15, they said. Additional Commissioner of Goods and Services Tax (GST) Senthil Valavan, whose premises was also searched on Thursday, has been summoned by the agency to join the investigation, they said. The scam came to light on July 8, 2017, when income tax sleuths raided the godown, offices and residences of a pan masala and gutka (a concoction of tobacco and pan masala) manufacturer in Tamil Nadu, who had been facing charges of tax evasion to the tune of Rs 250 crore.

New Delhi, Oct 5 (IANS): Attacking the Opposition plans for a grand alliance to checkmate BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday said politics should be done for development of the country not to stop anyone. “Opposition is trying to form a grand alliance to come to power. Their single agenda is to defeat BJP and Modi. But, in my view, politics should be done for development of the country, not to stop anyone,” he said at the 16th Hindustan Times Leadership Summit. Asked about Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati’s statement ruling out alliance with Congress in the Assembly elections, Singh said only “behenji” can answer that. The senior leader also said there is a crisis of credibility that India has been facing and that the Modi government has accepted that crisis as a challenge. “We will neither let it deepen nor allow it to worsen.” He rejected as baseless the allegation that the Centre was trying to create hurdles to the AAP government in Delhi.

Narasimha had recently lost his father and he often goes to Hyderabad to tend to his ailing mother. Sources close to him said he decided to quit as the government’s work in the top court should not suffer. They said it is now up to the government to decide on the resignation. Recently, Sandeep Sethi had stepped down as additional solicitor general. From 11 additional solicitors general during the UPA-II rule, the strength of the law officers have dipped to six.

Backdoor politics

t’s a game of political musical chair in Nagaland which would never seem to end, which was confirmed by the ruling Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party(NDPP), in a surprising statement, when it accused former NPF chief minister T.R. Zeliang of trying to forge an alliance with BJP through backdoor. The ruling coalition- People’s Democratic Alliance (PDA)- comprising of NDPP (18), BJP (12), JD-U (1) and NPP (2) won a total of 33 seats and with an independent, the tally rose to 34 while the NPF bagged 26 seats. The NDPP tally was reduced to 17 following the demise of one of its legislators. In any given situation when a trial of strength takes place, the speaker does not participate in voting only except if there is a tie. The reduced strength of the PDA has left it with only 32 members (the speaker is not included). The NDPP has accused the former chief minister T.R. Zeliang of being actively engaged in trying to spread confusion within the political spectrum so as to create divisions within the ruling coalition in order to exploit the situation. NDPP alleged that Zeliang claimed he has been able to rope in four legislators of the NPP (2) JD-U (1) Ind (1) which would mean that NPF now has the support of 26+4 =30 members. According to this figure, the PDA has been reduced to a twomember coalition, NDPP (16- after the demise of one member and excluding the speaker) + BJP (12) or 28 members. Now if that is a fact, then TR Zeliang can move a no confidence motion against the PDA since his side will be having 30 members as against 28 of the PDA. Even if the speaker were to be included, PDA would still be lesser with 29 members as against 30 of the NPF alliance. By throwing this as a ‘done thing’ the NDPP further alleged that T.R. Zeliang has been trying his best to convince the BJP leaders at the centre that he has support of majority (as above). To further cement his offer to BJP, NDPP claimed that Zeliang also offered plump portfolios of choice to BJP in any such new set up. NDPP also alleged that Zeliang had also offered the Lok Sabha seat (in 2019) as well as the Rajya Sabha (which NPF took in the recent biennial election held last year). Offering the Rajya Sabha seat would mean that the present NPF member will have to resign. The BJP had refused the offer for alliance with NPF in February 2018 because NPF president Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsü was allergic due to the state BJP involving in the NPF crisis by backing ousted chief minister T.R. Zeliang against then chief minister Dr. Shürhozelie. The NPF was also sore with the state Governor for dismissing the Dr. Shürhozelie ministry after summoning the house without the consent of the speaker. To placate the BJP, NDPP alleged that NPF assured the saffron party that it would have no issue with NPF since Dr. Shürhozelie’s term was ending and a new president would take over reins of the party. In theory, such combinations and permutations are acceptable and possible. There is also possibility of some sections of NPF joining NDPP. All these prove that everything is possible in politics and pointing fingers is a futile exercise because for politicians, the end justifies the means.

DailyDevotion The Nature of Degeneration

Just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned… —Romans 5:12 The Bible does not say that God punished the human race for one man’s sin, but that the nature of sin, namely, my claim to my right to myself, entered into the human race through one man. But it also says that another Man took upon Himself the sin of the human race and put it away— an infinitely more profound revelation (see Hebrews 9:26). The nature of sin is not immorality and wrongdoing, but the nature of self-realization which leads us to say, “I am my own god.” This nature may exhibit itself in proper morality or in improper immorality, but it always has a common basis— my claim to my right to myself. When our Lord faced either people with all the forces of evil in them, or people who were cleanliving, moral, and upright, He paid no attention to the moral degradation of one, nor any attention to the moral attainment of the other. He looked at something we do not see, namely, the nature of man (see John 2:25). Sin is something I am born with and cannot touch— only God touches sin through redemption. It is through the Cross of Christ that God redeemed the entire human race from the possibility of damnation through the heredity of sin. God nowhere holds a person responsible for having the heredity of sin, and does not condemn anyone because of it. Condemnation comes when I realize that Jesus Christ came to deliver me from this heredity of sin, and yet I refuse to let Him do so. From that moment I begin to get the seal of damnation. “This is the condemnation [and the critical moment], that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light…” (John 3:19).

Protective Thinking: Corruption, a way of life in Nagaland! T T

Dawn of scientific investigation to justice system in Nagaland

he cold reception The cold reception to the recently tabled Comptroller Auditor General of India report in Nagaland Legislative Assembly is a big disappointment pushing Nagaland forward to the endless corruptions period in contemporary reality of Nagaland. Furthermore, taking stoke of the situation; the indifferent attitude and response of the suffering public, anti corruption organizations, activists to CAG report shows the aftermath effect of the people being used to corrupt way of life for a long time. C AG r e p o r t a n d what next After the CAG audit report was tabled in the NLA on September 20, CAG have recommended investigations by the State Vigilance Commission and disciplinary proceedings/FIR against the concerned officials for the non-existent yet doubtful completed projects amounting to Rs. 6.68 crore. The CAG has even produced photographs of incomplete project works, which is a prima facie case and require early investigation. In such critical time, can State Vigilance commission as an autonomous body perform its mission with honesty, integrity and sincerity as described in its mission statement that the State Vigilance Commission is no longer a mere advisory body but acts as the force to counter all sophisticated white collar crimes in govt. departments. Two points of SVC mission statement is given below for public consumption: 1. SVC mission is to contain or if possible to weed out corruption from all govt. establishment.

D

uring the last State Assembly Election, all the political parties promised that they will bring development in the state. The pre-poll alliance of NDPP and BJP showed beautiful roads in their poster campaign. Probably that had attracted many people and voted them to power. However, people are yet to see such good roads. Nagaland State was formed on 1st December 1963 after Assam State. The rest of the North East states formed in 1972 and 1987. However, Nagaland State is far behind other states. It is high time to walk the talk. The Nagaland Government must bring radical change in four areas not from bad to worse, but from bad to good then the rest can be taken care by the citizens themselves. The four areas are as followed: 1 . G o o d Ro a d s : Thanks to the Central Government for sanctioning a huge amount of money for the construction and improvement of roads in Nagaland. The political power holders must judiciously use that money to construct good roads. That money should not go to the pockets of power holders. As of now, Nagaland State has the worst roads among North East States. Tripura got its statehood on 21st January 1972. It has constructed

2. To develop the commission and to act as the watchdog of the govt. In order to bring about transparency and accountability in govt. functioning. In spite of unsatisfactory past records, time has come for SVC to live up to sincerely perform its given task. What I see for now The govt. may perhaps try to delay the investigations, perhaps not, the opposition party in their right mind will not pressurise the govt. to recommend CBI probe into the valid allegations of GAG reports, that we all know for sure, SVC may or may not give serious effort to book, punish the top bureaucrats, govt. employees of different grade, powerful legislators responsible for the anomalies and irregularities to deliver justice to the suffering Nagaland citizens, Gauhati Court may or may not take suo moto intervention on the anomalies and irregularities detected by the CAG of India, anti corruption organizations, activists, lawyers, public spirited person may perhaps file PIL in Gauhati High Court demanding CBI enquiry, perhaps not, organizations may organize public rally or may not. The indispensable role of Judiciary and Media in Nagaland Judiciary (bar and bench) and Media in Nagaland has to tune in to the words of 46th Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi, who says that, independent judges and noisy journalist are democracy’s first line of defence, with modification- not only independent judges and noisy journalists, but even independent journalists and sometime

noisy judges. Only revitalized judiciary and media can bail out Nagaland from its corrupt epoch. The repeat of Laloo’s case in Nagaland: On March 2018, RJD Chief and Bihar former chief minister Lalu Prasad was sentenced to 14 years in jail in the fourth fodder scam case. The fifth case, related to the fraudulent withdrawal of Rs. 139 Crore from Dorandra treasury is still pending with court, which means if found guilty in fifth case his prison sentence will increase. Brief backg round check on Fodder scam: few extracts from the article, “All you need to know about the 21 year old case against Lalu Prasad Yadav”, published by FIRSTPOST dt. Dec 23, 2017, goes like this, the petty forgeries and small scale fraudulent transactions, that would go on to become a Rs. 100-crore scam and unseat an incumbent chief minister, predates the Lalu-era in Bihar. It was first sniffed out in 1985 by the then CAG Mr. TN Chaturvedi, who noticed that monthly accounts submission from Bihar treasury were always delayed. However, those small-scale falsified transaction flourished over the course of years, got systemised, and snowballed into a Rs. 945-crore scam. After the 1985 incident, the case resurfaced in a big way for the first time in 1996 when the State Finance Secretary Mr. VS Dubey (A 1966batch IAS officer) started looking into the matter and ordered inspections across all districts. A massive raid on the Animal Husbandry Department at Chaibasa uncovered a stash of documents showing illegal withdrawals

from the state treasury. As the issue started gathering heat as the scam unravelled, BJP state unit chief Sushil Modi filed PIL in the Patna High Court in 1997 demanding CBI enquiry in the case. The same year, the investigation was handed over to the CBI and hence started Lalu’s worst nightmare and a longstanding episode with the CBI. On 23 June, 1997 the CBI named Lalu Prasad Yadav as one of the accused, which subsequently forced him to step down from the post of the chief minister leading to the current fate. As things stand today, of the 64 cases, Yadav has been as accused in six cases. From reading various reports of Bihar fodder scam cases, it is clear that the joint effort of different personalities from govt. sector, political parties, judiciary, media, activism etc played a decisive role in curbing the decade’s old cor r upt practices in functioning style of Bihar govt. and putting the guilty ones like Lalu Prasad Yadav and several others behind bar. If citizens of Nagaland want a corrupt free Nagaland, only a serious joint effort can accomplish such herculean task and time is ripe to see the repeat of Laloo’s case happening in Nagaland to many Nagaland Laloos. Endnote: to begin the process of creating new corrupt less Nagaland, people must first learn to think as a democratic citizen and behave as a citizen of a democratic state and not as fanatic member of clan, village and tribe to avoid unnecessary compromise on well planned and systematic corruptions. Pakinrichapbo (Advocate), Samziuram Village, Peren

he inauguration of the new FSL building in Nagaland and the central program, where every police station across the country would be equipped with special kits to probe rape cases has brought to light the significance of the “Forensic Scientific Officer” in criminal investigations. A “Scientific Officer” is notably a person with an in-depth knowledge and expertise in a specific subject matter. With a polymath mind possessed, the investigator becomes adept and pertinent to the preliminary investigation and the theoretical proficiency is reliably applied to decipher complex cases. Thereby, maintaining standard operating procedures of the crime scene investigation and adopting an international protocol to present a legal evidence. The role of a “Forensic Scientific Officer” is still a novel idea in the Criminal Justice System of Nagaland. The courts in Nagaland generally award verdicts without the forensic evidence by a Scientific Officer which is unethical in the prosecution process of the judicial system. Nagaland has a well-established Forensic laboratory since 1982, but the forensic reports are made and reported by trained Police Officers which ironically is not admissible in the court as an evidence. Due to this reason particularly, most of the forensic cases are transferred to forensic labs located in other cities such as Guwahati, Kolkata and Hyderabad. Such transfer of evidence results in contamination, additional expenses on the exchequer and loss of crucial physical evidence. These factors ultimately lead to a cold case since validation of evidence becomes a challenge under such circumstances. Our State has a pool

A change must come…

pucca roads even to the remotest villages. They maintain their roads so well. Almost all the states have constructed good roads. However, Nagaland State is not able to maintain its existing roads. The citizens become victims of bad roads. Due to bad roads and hike of fuel price, the carrying charge of food commodities and construction materials become so high. Consequently the price of food commodities becomes sky-rocket. It affects the economy of common people. The State Government must wisely use the Central sanctioned money to construct good roads and improve the existing roads. There is a saying, ‘if you want to become rich construct good roads.’ The State Government should construct good roads, set up gates and collect toll in order to maintain roads. Public will be happy to pay road tax because good roads will save their vehicles and Government can receive good revenue from it. 2. Good Educational Institutions: Manipur State was formed on 21st January 1972 nine years after Nagaland State got its statehood. However, Manipur State has two reputed Medical Colleges in Imphal. Whereas Nagaland State does not have even one Medical College. Where is the money sanctioned for Medical

College in Nagaland? Medical and Engineering students have to pursue their studies outside the state because there is no Medical and Engineering Colleges in Nagaland. Thus parents are spending huge amount of money for their children’s education. Good Educational Institutions are the best industries in the world. Educational institutions generate employment; they mould and produce good human resources. They ear n money not only for the proprietors, but also for the common people living nearby the institutions, for they do a lot of business from students, teachers and staff. Thus Government must set up good medical, engineering colleges and research institutions in the State. Good research institutions will bring many good students from outside to invest their wealth, education and skills in the State. 3. Good Healthcare System: There are many private hospitals coming up in the State. However, poor people cannot effort to go to private hospitals. At the same time, due to lack of healthcare system, many patients go to Imphal, Guwahati, Vellore and other states for treatment. In Nagaland Government Hospitals, there is hardly any free medicine given to patients. They only get free treatment. Private pharmacies are

set up in and around Government run Hospitals and patients have to buy medicines. Whereas in other states Government Hospitals, they collect only minimum registration fee and patients are provided medicines. The Government must seriously think for the welfare of poor people. Setting up good healthcare system will serve the citizens of the State. 4. Good Electricity: Without good electricity, there cannot be any improvement in economic, education and healthcare system. It is to be acknowledged that there is a little improvement in electrical power supply. However, many things must be done in regard to regular power supply. A big Hydroelectricity can be set up somewhere in Tizu River. Further, Solar Power could be set up. The State Government must work on the improvement of good and regular power supply to citizens and introduce pre-paid billing system so that it will earn huge revenue for the Government. If the State Government provides good roads, good educational institutions, good healthcare system and good electricity, the rest of development activities for a better living can be taken care by the citizens themselves. Ministers and MLAs must think that they are the

servants of the citizens of the State. They must love people and bring development to the people. It is good that chief guest culture is abolished. Now they must present themselves to citizens in persons and in the form of development. Otherwise they will be far away from the people and they would be of no value to the people. The citizens of the State expect the present Government will fulfill the promises in bringing real development. Till today, the silence of the public has given so much advantage to political power holders

of qualified individuals who have graduated from reputed forensic universities such the LNJN National Institute of Criminology and Forensic Sciences which functions directly under the Ministry of Home Affairs and wherein Officers from all over the country, as well as other countries, participate in training the students through seminars, conferences and discussions. A good number of members of the Naga Forensic Association are presently working as Scientific Assistant in Directorate of Forensic Science Mumbai, some are PhD scholars while many have completed their graduate or post-graduate studies. In the course of finding employment and broadening the horizons, few members have worked as Crime Reporters in the Times of India, attended International and National Conferences of Forensic Question Documents, Toxicology, cybercrime, DNA fingerprinting and many others. There are a whole lot of members who have taken training under different Directorates of Forensic Science like Gujarat, Delhi, Chandigarh and other States across the country. The bigger question here is, why should the State seek help from others when we have our very own well-qualified Nagas waiting to do the job they are passionate about in their homeland? We, therefore, believe and hope that the concerned Department takes this into consideration and understand that there are eligible, skillful and dedicated job seekers, anticipating the speedy process of recruitment and produce experts to promote the concept of Quality Assurance and Quality control of Forensic Sciences. Puleno Kennao, PhD scholar, president, Naga Forensic Science Association

and bureaucrats to take away development fund to do their personal development. It is also the duty of the citizens to pressurize the States Government to bring development. For they have been elected to power to do so and not to serve their own interests. If they misappropriate development fund, the public should raise their voice for it is their rights. Let us expect that the present Government will start bringing changes within a few months. Yiepetso Wezah, Mission Colony, Pfutsero, (ywezah@gmail.com)

Reader’s Post

On Consumer Rights Sir,

Over the months the consumers were been continuously victimized at some butcher markets in Kohima where weighing scale are manipulated against the consumers with a huge manipulation even to the extent of 100 grams per 1 kg which is a minus of 10 percent from the total purchase. The consumers were deprived of enjoying justice in availing their rightful claims. But still many consumers are ignorant of this situations and people who experiences are also negligible to claim their rights for the sake of few grams. Therefore, the concern department should organize a regular checking of weighing scale in all the butcher markets so that consumers are protected from falling to the prey of the cunning butchers.

DIMAPUR, OCT 5 (NPN): Nagaland’s lone Lok Sabha member Tokheho Yeptho formally inaugurated the State’s first exclusive electric-powered vehicle showroom M/s Kuvu at Chekiye village here on Friday. The showroom located near the Airport Road junction deals in e-rickshaws manufactured by Goenka Electric Motor Vehicles Pvt Ltd and scooters from Japan-based Okinawa Motors. In his brief address as chief guest, Tokheho said the concept of electricpowered vehicles for private and commercial use was relatively new in Nagaland, though it had already started in other States on a large scale. Citing Delhi as an example, he said E-rickshaws ply in large numbers in the city. He, however, added that while the national capital grappled with both pollu-

its “law and order problem.” He urged the youth to use the facility, even as he encouraged the showroom’s proprietor to tackle problems and challenges that could come his way. In his introductory note, Sema said the reason behind setting up the e-vehicle showroom was rise in pollution and global warming. He also outlined the numerous advantages of electric scooters over the conventional ones like no sound and pollution, expenditure of Rs 10 for 100 km, 200-km mileage on a single charge, low maintenance cost and trendy styling. The programme was chaired by NCRC senior pastor Rev Dr Shiwoto Assumi and vote of thanks was delivered by Khehohse Sema.

Going forward, the inflation outlook is expected to be influenced by several factors, RBI said. “First...Inflation in key food items such as pulses, edible oils, sugar, fruits and vegetables remains exceptionally soft at this juncture. “Secondly, the price of the Indian basket of crude oil has increased sharply, by USD 13 a barrel, since the last resolution. Thirdly, international financial markets remained volatile with emerging market economies’ (EME) currencies depreciating significantly. “Finally, the HRA effect came off its peak in June and is dissipating gradually on expected lines,” it added.

New Delhi, Oct 5 (PTI): LIC came out with an open offer for acquiring 26 percent of equity in IDBI Bank at a price of Rs 61.73 per share, entailing total payout of over Rs 12,602 crore on October 4. Earlier in the day, the IDBI Bank board approved the proposal for issuance of preferential shares in favour of LIC with a view to increase the share of insurer in the bank up to 51 percent. LIC made a public announcement for the open offer to shareholders, including retailers, as per the Sebi’s regulations with regard to substantial acquisition and takeover of shares in a company. According to the open offer, LIC proposes to acquire more than 204 crore equity shares of Rs 10 each, equivalent to 26 percent equity of IDBI Bank.

consumer price index (CPI) inflation of 4 per cent within a band of +/-2 per cent, while supporting growth,” RBI said in a statement. The MPC reiterated its commitment to achieving the medium-term target for headline inflation of 4 per cent on a durable basis. If the house rent allowance (HRA) impact is not taken into account, RBI expects the retail inflation based on consumer price index (CPI) to come down even further. “Excluding the HRA impact, CPI inflation is projected at 3.7 per cent in Q2:2018-19, 3.8-4.5 per cent in H2 and 4.8 per cent in Q1:2019-20,” it said. The recent excise duty cuts on petrol and diesel will moderate retail inflation, the bank added. However, volatility in global financial markets continues to impart uncertainty to the inflation outlook. A sharp rise in input costs, combined with rising pricing power, poses the risk of higher pass-through to retail prices for both goods

Mumbai, Oct 5 (PTI): The Reserve Bank Friday lowered its retail inflation projection for the second half of the current fiscal to 3.9-4.5 per cent mainly because of an unusually benign trend in food prices. Food inflation has remained unusually benign, which imparts a downward bias to its trajectory in the second half of the year, the central bank said in its fourth bi-monthly monetary policy unveiled here. “Inflation is projected at 4 per cent in second quarter (July-September) 2018-19, 3.9-4.5 per cent in H2 (October-March) and 4.8 per cent in Q1:201920 (April-June), with risks somewhat to the upside,” it added. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) kept the key repo rate unchanged at 6.25 per cent. “The decision of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) is consistent with the stance of calibrated tightening of monetary policy in consonance with the objective of achieving the medium-term target for

India inks S-400 missile deal with Russia said India always gave priority to the relations with Russia which has always been part of India’s growth story. “It is my great pleasure once again to invite Prime Minister Modi to participate in the next Vladivostok Forum as the main guest in September 2019,” he said. The joint statement reaffirmed the commitment to enhance military technical cooperation between India and Russia, which has a long history of mutual trust and benefit. “Both sides expressed satisfaction at the significant progress made on the ongoing project of the military technical cooperation and recognised the positive shift towards joint research and joint production of military technical equipments between the two countries. “They highly evaluated the military industrial conference process as an important mechanism to promote the ‘Make in India’ policy of India,” the statement said. The two sides called upon all states to work towards lessening global tensions and promoting the ideals of tolerance, cooperation, transparency and openness in inter-state relations. They stressed that the primary challenge in large parts of the world remains ensuring rapid and

environmentally sustainable economic development, removal of poverty, reducing inequality among and within states and providing basic health care. India and Russia pledged to cooperate with each other to achieve these goals, the statement said. The two leaders reviewed the progress on the achievement of the goal to increase two-way investment to USD 30 billion by the year 2025 and noted with satisfaction that both countries were on the way to achieving this target. They noted that in 2017 bilateral trade increased by more than 20 per cent and agreed to work towards its further increase and diversification. “The two sides expressed their support to promoting bilateral trade in national currencies,” it said. On civil nuclear cooperation, the two sides noted the progress achieved in the construction of the remainder of the six power units at Kudankulam NPP as well as the efforts being made in the components manufacturing for localization. They welcomed consultations on the new Russian designed NPP in India, as well as on the NPP equipment joint manufacturing of nuclear equipment cooperation in third countries.

CJI Gogoi continues to keep a tight grip on PIL pleas

‘Rupee depreciated only 7% in five yrs’

New Delhi, Oct 5 (IANS): Brushing aside US threats of sanctions, India and Russia on Friday concluded a deal for supply of S-400 Triumf long-range surface-to-air missile system giving a substantial boost to air defence capabilities of the Indian Air Force. The $5.4 billion (around Rs 40,000 crore) deal was concluded during the 19th India-Russia Annual Bilateral Summit between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin, though both the leaders made no mention of it in their statement to the media, apparently in view of the sensitivities involving the United States that has been pressing India not to go ahead with the deal. Nor was the missile contract part of the signing ceremony for eight deals inked by the two sides in the presence of the two leaders covering areas of space cooperation, railways, nuclear cooperation, fertilisers and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME). An indication of the missile deal being concluded came in the joint statement issued by the two sides shortly after the talks between the leaders. “The (two) sides welcomed the conclusion of the contract for the supply of the S-400 long-range surface-to-

New Delhi, Oct 5 (AGENCIES): The new subjectwise roster, introduced by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi as the master of roster, is a continuation of his immediate predecessor Dipak Misra’s legacy of keeping a tight grip on public interest litigation (PIL) petitions. Among the Supreme Court’s 11 Benches, the Chief Justice’s court is dominantly in charge of fresh PIL petitions. Justice Misra too had kept the entire PIL jurisdiction with him. However, Chief Justice Gogoi has madea a slight change. The new roster, which came into existence on October 3, allows certain PIL petitions “allocated by the CJI” to go to the number two judge, Justice Madan B. Lokur. This means no fresh PIL petitions will make their way to any other Bench. The subjectwise roster of allocation of cases to judges was created by Justice Misra as a consequence of the January 12 press confer-

air missile system to India,” said the joint statement. The S-400 missile deal has been an issue of much speculation after the Trump administration’s law -- Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) -- came into effect in January aimed at countries doing business with Russian, Iranian and North Korean defence companies. Washington has so far declined to make any exception to India by way of a waiver. In his address to the media, Modi said that IndiaRussia relations are unique and that President Putin has personally contributed to it. He said both the countries have agreed to work for a multipolar and multilateral world and work together in Afghanistan, the Indo-Pacif-

ence by four judges. Chief Justice Gogoi was among the four — the others being Justices Jasti Chelameswar (retired), Lokur and Kurian Joseph. One of the prominent grouses voiced by the four judges was the manner in which Chief Justices of India flexed their power as master of roster. There was no transparency in the allocation of cases. Sensitive cases and those of national importance were selectively allocated to certain Benches “without any rational basis.” An October 2017 letter, written by the four judges to the then CJI, was circulated at the press conference. The four judges had said the Chief Justice’s au-

ic region and forums such as Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), BRICS, G20, and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) besides cooperating in the fight against terrorism. He said Friday’s summit will give a new direction to the Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership that India and Russia share and that the decisions taken today would increase bilateral cooperation, contributing to stability and peace in the world. On his part, Putin said the two countries have been long connected through a strong relationship of friendship. He said both sides discussed topics of international and regional agenda. The Russian President

thority as master of roster did not make him a “superior authority.” “The Chief Justice is only the first among equals — nothing more or nothing less.” The past months have witnessed three back-to-back judgments, reinforcing the authority of the CJI as the undisputed ‘master of roster.’ The first came on November 10 last year when a five-judge Constitution Bench, led by then CJI, declared his dominance as the master of roster in order to protect the court from “anarchy.” The Constitution Bench had declared that it was the prerogative of the CJI to decide what case should be heard by which judge. The judgment had effectively nullified a judicial order passed by Justice Chelameswar barely a day ago to constitute a Bench of the five seniormost judges to hear a PIL petition for a special investigation team probe into the Lucknow medical college scam involving an alleged conspiracy to bribe Supreme Court judges

for a favourable order. A Bench, led by the then CJI, had heard the case. In April last, a Bench, led by the then CJI, again declared the CJI an “institution in himself,” with the “exclusive prerogative” to constitute Benches and allocate cases. It had held that there was no room for any “presumption of mistrust” against the high constitutional functionary. Finally, on July 6, a Bench, led by Justice A.K. Sikri, declared that the ‘Chief Justice of India’ denotes an individual judge and not a collective of the first three or five seniormost judges of the Supreme Court called the ‘collegium.’ The judgment held that it was the exclusive authority of this individual judge to allocate cases to fellow judges in his role as master of roster. The judgment dismissed a petition filed by former Union Law Minister Shanti Bhushan that resting the power of master of roster in one individual might risk its “absolute, singular and arbitrary” use.

New Delhi, Oct 5 (IANS): Notwithstanding the knock that the rupee has taken against the dollar, Railway Minister Piyush Goyal on Friday said that it is the best period that India has seen when the currency has only depreciated by 7 % in a five-year period. “I think today we have an economy that is able to withstand the current international pressure. We have a situation like 2013, the dollar is getting strengthened because of the quantitative easing in the US. Trade rates have gone crazy. Oil prices are shooting up consistently. Despite that have you realised in 2013 the rupee to a dollar was at 68.86. “We are in 2018, Five years later if a dollar is at Rs 73.5 effectively, the rupee has depreciated less than five rupees, which at 68.86 is about seven per cent. This to my mind is the best period that India has seen when the rupee has only depreciated by seven per cent in a fiveyear period,” he said.

‘PDA not to be affected by ‘false’ allegations’ (From p-1) Rio’s dynamic leadership for 11 years, before being rocked by political crisis within after his departure for Delhi as Member of Parliament. Hence, before glorifying its leader TR Zeliang for his contributions to the State during his tenure as chief minister, the youth wing asked NPF to look back where its leader was when the party was down and out after its cock symbol was frozen by Election Commission of India. The present leader of opposition was then very much part of Congress party and was even elected on the party ticket in 2003. However, in his habit of wanting to grab power, he defected to NPF and subsequently elected as Rajya Sabha Member due to the magnanimity showed by Rio, the statement recalled. While it was the bounden responsibility of any party at the helms of affair in the State to work of development, the youth body said NPF seemed to think that whatever little development they could usher in the last four years of the DAN government under Zeliang’s leadership was his and party’s personal property.

ACAUT demands probe into delayed road project

(From p-1) Pukhungri–Avankhu road seem barely visible and far away from completion,” ACAUT said. It claimed that in Nagaland construction projects are deliberately stalled and delayed to revise the cost of the project cost. Describing the delayed road project as “a perfect case of blatant corruption practice” that has been going on in Nagaland, ACAUT said such practice was the root cause for the under development and poor infrastructure in the state. ACAUT Nagaland opined that firm should be immediately black listed and stopped from doing any ongoing work projects until a thorough investigation was done.

Opposition NPF reacts to NDPP’s allegations (From p-1) in connection with the Rs 78-crore money laundering case, where names of G Kaito Aye and Noke Wangnao were used and later the two leaders were made to apologise before the people. NPF also asked the PDA government that if it was truly stable and firm as claimed, then why NDPP did not have trust and faith on its own coalition partners like BJP, JDU, NPP and Independent.

Ahmedabad, Oct 5 (AGENCIES): Non-Gujaratis, especially those hailing from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, were targeted in several parts of the state following the arrest of a Bihar native for allegedly raping a 14-month-old girl in Sabarkantha district last week, police said Friday. Director general of police Shivanand Jha said such attacks have taken place in Gandhinagar, Mehsana, Sabarkantha, Patan and Ahmedabad districts in the last one week and 150 people have been arrested in connection with the incidents.

sure and to contain any further public health issues, an order was issued to all the States to immediately and completely stop use of the said batches of oral polio vaccine. Further, to enhance immunity against type 2-polio virus, special mop up rounds for administering Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV) are being conducted in the specified areas (Maharashtra, Telangana and Uttar Pradesh) where the contaminated batches were issued to reach out to such children who may have missed IPV. The contamination of oral polio vaccine does not mean that the vaccine is unsafe for administration as per statement made by Dr. Jyoti Joshi from the Center of Disease Dynamics, Economics and Policy (CDEP).

by Rio from Kohima College on a holiday. NPF also asserted that Zeliang had absolutely no hand in the mistrust that existed within the NDPP-led government and declared that it was prepared to be in the opposition and play the role of a constructive opposition party. It, therefore, asked the ruling coalition to focus more on governance and less on its endeavour to keep the “so-called firm and stable” government intact.

The attacks took place after hate messages against non-Gujaratis, particularly those from Bihar and UP, were circulated on social media, he said. On September 28, a 14-month-old girl was allegedly raped in a village near Himmatnagar town of Sabarkantha district, around 100 km from Ahmedabad, the police had said.

As per the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, only “a few vials” of bivalent oral polio vaccine were found to contain traces of contaminants. However, as per communication received from the DC (Imm I/c), Ministry of Health and Family Welfare GOI, the contaminated vials which were found “not to be of standard quality” belonged to 3 different batches of oral polio vaccines manufactured by M/s Biomed Pvt. Ltd bearing batch numbers B100218, B100318 and B100418. The Drugs Controller General of India has asked the company to stop “manufacture, sale or distribution till further orders” and filed an FIR in this case. As a preventive mea-

Dr. Medikhru said audit of oral polio vaccine was conducted by DoHFW at all health facilities in Nagaland as a follow up measure to confirm that no contaminated vaccines are being used or lying unused anywhere.

Asserting that the PDA government was committed to providing better connectivity to the people, NPF Youth Organisation added that it did not, however, have any control on weather conditions, pointing out how the onset of early and unprecedented monsoons had hampered in adhering to the timeline. Nevertheless, the government’s commitment to ensure better road connectivity in the State was still a number one priority and the opposition need not cry hoarse over this issue time and again, it mentioned. The youth wing reiterated that the PDA partners were united and unshaken despite the numerous underhand activities of the opposition party to try and cause mischief and misunderstanding.

UP tech murder case: 3 SHOs removed when he allegedly refused to stop his car for checking in Lucknow’s posh Gomti Nagar neighbourhood. Two c o n s t a b l e s, 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. Some people claiming to be batchmates and sympathisers of Prashant Chowdhury and Sandeep Kumar, are seen campaigning for them on social media, and seeking donations to help them. “An FIR has been registered at Hazratganj police station here on Thursday against unnamed people under the Police (Incitement to Disaffection) Act, and cyber teams are looking at such posts to take the case to a logical end,” a senior police official said here. The Act provides a maximum punishment of six months. “Rumours are being spread on social media... We have taken the matter seriously and surveillance is going on to track such people. It has come to the fore that some constables terminated from service are involved in it,” the DIG said. An Uttar Pradesh police spokesperson said, “It has come to our notice that

constables are tying black ribbons and posting such pictures on social media.” The posts are being examined, he said, adding in the last two days, investigating officers have come across instances where morphed or old pictures were posted on social media. Clarifying the situation, the DIG said, “Some people posing as policemen and anti-social elements are involved in it. We will take strict action.” When asked about the issue, Vivek Tiwari’s wife Kalpana said, “My innocent husband was killed, I want justice for him. I am not against the police. This (campaign in support of accused constables, if any) should not be held. Senior officers should take cognisance of it and take action.” About reports that constables were collecting money to help their arrested colleagues and other such items flooded the social media, DGP O P Singh had on Thursday said, “We have alerted our officers and a close watch is being kept on social media. The officers have been asked to interact with constables and tell them about the incident and explain them circumstances under which they were arrested and dismissed.”

India to continue buying oil from Iran

Two NC workers shot dead in Srinagar

Lu c k n ow, O c t 5 (PTI): Three SHOs have been removed, four constables suspended and two ex-policemen arrested as the Uttar Pradesh police cracked down on social media protests from within the force over the action taken against two constables who allegedly shot dead an Apple executive here last week. Pictures on social media show police personnel wearing black armbands in support of their colleagues who were arrested after the tech company executive was shot dead when he refused to stop his car for checking. Incharges of Naka, Gudamba and Aliganj police stations in the state capital were removed and three constables posted there suspended on Friday. A departmental probe is on, DIG (Law and Order) Praveen Kumar told reporters here. The photographs of constables of the three police stations went viral on social media, after which officers swung into action. They, however, did not confirm whether the photographs were current or old. On Thursday, former constables, Brijendra Yadav and Avinash Pathak, dismissed from service earlier in different cases, have been

New Delhi, Oct 5 (AGENCIES): India will buy 9 million barrels of Iranian oil in November, two industry sources said, indicating that the world’s third-biggest oil importer is to continue purchasing crude from the Islamic republic despite U.S. sanctions coming into force on Nov. 4. “Refiners have placed November nominations to lift 1.25 million tonnes (about 9 million barrels) of oil from Iran,” one of the sources said. Indian Oil Corp will lift 6 million barrels of Iranian oil and Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd 3 million barrels, the source told Reuters. The United States plans to impose new sanctions targeting Iran’s oil sector on Nov. 4 to try to stop the country’s involvement in conflicts in Syria

arrested from Varanasi and Mirzapur, while a policeman, Sarvesh Chowdhury, posted in Raebareli has been suspended over the same issue, police said. An FIR has also been registered against Sarvesh Chowdhury for posting an 11-minute video in which he purportedly claims that he had offered and has been collecting money for the two constables accused in the killing of the Apple executive. He is also seen taking swipes at political leaders and top police officials. Officials said a probe has been ordered into reports that constables were posting their pictures with black armbands on in support of their two accused colleagues, and that action would be taken against those found involved in such acts. Vivek Tiwari, the Apple executive, was shot dead early on September 29

and Iraq and bring Tehran to the negotiating table over its ballistic missile programme. The sources declined to be identified as they were not authorised to speak to the media. Indian Oil and Mangalore Refinery did not immediately respond to a request for comment. “India is continuing with its relationship with both its key energy partners Iran and the U.S.,” a second source said. Indian refiners imported around 10 million barrels of Iranian oil in October, and its November shipments are expected to be lower. In the previous round of sanctions, India continued to buy Iranian oil although it had to cut purchases significantly to protect its wider exposure to the U.S. financial system. India’s foreign min-

ister said in May it abides only by sanctions imposed by the United Nations and not those imposed by any other country. With the European Union considering the creation of a “special purpose vehicle” before November to facilitate trade with Iran, India hopes to find a way to settle payments to Tehran. “Previously there was no European channel. This time Europe is not working with the U.S., so we intend to evolve a mechanism,” the second source said. India, Iran’s top client after China, has close diplomatic ties with Iran, where it is building a strategic port called Chabahar that is expected to be operational by 2019. At the same time, India is closely working with the United States to further its strategic interests.

Srinagar, Oct 5 (PTI): Militants Friday shot dead two National Conference workers and injured an office bearer by firing at them from close range in the city, three days ahead of the first phase of elections for urban local bodies in Kashmir, police said. The gunmen fired at the trio at Karfali Mohalla, resulting in injuries to all three, a police official said. The injured persons were r ushed to nearby SMHS Hospital but two of them succumbed, the official said. The deceased have been identified as Mushtaq Ahmad Wani and Nazir Ahmad Bhat. While both were affiliated to the National Conference, Bhat was working as public relations officer of MLA Habbakadal Shamima Firdous.

SC to hear Cement manufacturers’ plea on penalty New Delhi, Oct 5 (IANS): The Supreme Court on Friday asked eight cement manufacturing companies to deposit 10 per cent of the penalty amount imposed on them by the Competition Commission of India (CCI) allegedly for resorting to cartelisation for manipulating the cement prices. The bench of Justice Rohinton Fali Nariman and Justice Navin Sinha asked eight cement manufacturers to deposit 10 per cent of the penalty amount as it extended the National Company Law Appallate Tribunal (NCLAT)’s interim order to that effect. A brief order passed on Friday said: “Appeals admitted. The interim orders that have been passed by the Tribunal in these cases will continue in the meantime.” The bench ordered this as it agreed to hear the appeals by the eight cement manufacturers challenging the NCLAT’s July 25, 2018 order upholding Rs 6,300crore penalty imposed by the CCI on 11 cement manufacturing companies. The CCI imposed a penalty of Rs 6,300 crore holding that they indulged in cartelisation in breach of sub-section 3(3)(a) and 3(3)(b) of the Competition Act 2002.

Rohingyas went voluntarily: India tells UN

A Rohingya man fills out an identification form, provided by local police, inside his shop at a camp in New Delhi.

New Delhi, Oct 5 (AGENCIES): India rejected the United Nations statement that its repatriation of seven Rohingya men violated the U.N. principle of “refoulement” or “forcibly deporting people to a place they could be persecuted,” saying that the men, who were handed over to Myanmar officials at the border on Thursday, had gone voluntarily. “Upon reconfirming their willingness to be repatriated (on October 3, 2018), and with the full concurrence of the government of Myanmar, in accordance with established procedures and laws, the government of Assam has arranged for the repatriation of these seven individuals to Myanmar,”

a statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs said. The MEA also said that the men, who belonged to Rakhine State had requested in 2016 the Myanmar government to issue them documents to return to their country. However, the UN High Commission for Refugees in Delhi (UNHCR), that had appealed to India to stay the repatriation, said that was prior to the ethnic cleansing in Rakhine State in 2017 that saw nearly a million flee to camps in Bangladesh. Aid agencies said that more than 10,000 people had been killed in retaliation by security forces after an attack by militant group ARSA that killed 71 security personnel on August 24,

2017. The reprisal included mass gang-rapes of women, the killing of babies and burning of Rohingya villages, according to a UN report. As a result, a UNHCR spokesperson said the seven men, who had been imprisoned in Assam since 2012, and were recently moved to a detention camp in Manipur, had been denied the “opportunity to make an informed decision about their return to Myanmar in the current conditions and/ or access their right to seek safe asylum.” “UNHCR has expressed its view that the current conditions in Rakhine State in Myanmar are not conducive for safe, dignified and sustainable returns for Rohingya,” the spokesperson added.

SC dismisses plea seeking full statehood for Delhi New Delhi, Oct 5 (AGENCIES): Supreme Court Friday dismissed a plea seeking full statehood for Delhi saying it has become “infructuous” in view of the Constitution bench verdict which had held that Delhi cannot be accorded the status of a state. The matter came up for hearing before a bench comprising justices Madan B Lokur, S Abdul Nazeer and Deepak Gupta and the advocate appearing for the petitioner referred to the judgement delivered by a five-judge Constitution bench on July 4. “It (petition) is infructuous,” the bench said while dismissing the plea. The court was hearing a plea seeking to declare Article 239AA (which deals with powers and status of Delhi) of the Constitution

Supreme Court of India. (file)

and The Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Act 1991 as “unconstitutional” on the ground that a territory of India has to be either a full state or a union territory. The plea had also alleged that constitutional

arrangements for Delhi were responsible for the mismanagement in administration of the national capital which results in several problems including air pollution, traffic jams, water logging, unauthorised constructions.

It claimed that these issues could be resolved by giving full statehood to Delhi. On July 4, a Constitution bench of the top court had unanimously held that Delhi cannot be accorded the status of a state and had clipped the powers of the Lieutenant Governor saying he has no “independent decision making power” and has to act on the aid and advice of the elected government. The apex court had said that except for three issues -- public order, police and land -- the Delhi government has the power to legislate and govern on other issues. It had also held that there was no independent authority vested with the Lieutenant Governor to take independent decisions.

by him as saying: “’Zoom, get your formation to Gujarat tonight and quell the riots.’ I replied, ‘Sir, the road move will take us two days.’ He shot back, ‘The Air Force will take care of your move from Jodhpur. Get maximum troops to the airfield. Speed and resolute action are the need of the hour.’” Upon arriving at the “dark and deserted” Ahmedabad airfield, he enquired: “Where are the vehicles and other logistic support we had been promised?” He learnt that the state government was still “making the necessary arrangements”. “The crucial periods was the night of 28th February and the 1st of March. This is when the maximum damage was done. I met the chief minister at 2 am on the 1st morning. The troops sat on the airfield all through the 1st of March and we got the transport only on the 2nd of March. By then the

mayhem had already been done,” Shah, who has been conferred Param Vishisht Seva Medal, Vishisht Seva Medal and Sena Medal for his services to the armed forces, told IANS. Asked if the damage would be lesser had the army been allowed full freedom and provided with what he had personally asked Modi for, he agreed and said: “Most certainly the damage would have been much, much less had we got the vehicles at the right time. What the police couldn’t do in six days we did in 48 hours despite being six times smaller in size than them. We finished the operation in 48 hours on the 4th of March but it could have been finished on the 2nd of March itself had we not lost those crucial hours.” He said that he is not blaming anyone in particular. “It may take some time in arranging transport but in a situation like that, it could have possibly been done faster,” he added. He said the police were “dumb bystanders” while the “mob was setting fire on streets and houses”. They were taking “no action” to prevent the “mayhem” that was being done. “I did see a lot of MLAs from the majority community sitting at the police stations. They had no business to be there. Whenever

we used to tell the police to impose the curfew, they never did so in the minority areas. So the minorities were always surrounded by the mobs. It was a totally parochial and biased handling,” the decorated army veteran maintained. Asked of the political links in the riot, Shah said that he does not “want to reopen any old wounds”, maintaining that the purpose of his memoir is “to tell the facts as they happened in Gujarat in 2002”. “It takes three generations to forget. I do not want to reopen the wounds. I have spoken the truth about police and I stand by every word I have written,” he said. The government had told the parliament in 2005 that 790 Muslims and 254 Hindus were killed, 223 more people reported missing and another 2,500 injured during the 2002 riots in Gujarat. Shah maintains in the book that the “official figures of deaths and damage do not reflect a true picture of the actual extent of the carnage”. The book -- packed with revelations as also his personal experiences in life, both as an army man and a Muslim in India -- has been endorsed by at least two chiefs of army staff, including General S. Padmanabhan.

will stay in prison

Chandigarh, Oct 5 (IANS): Rape convict self-styled godman Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh was on Friday granted bail by a Panchkula court in a castration case, but he will remain in jail as other cases are pending against him. Ram Rahim, who is serving a 20-year sentence in Rohtak’s Sunaria Jail for raping two women disciples, is facing legal proceedings in two murder cases as well. The Special CBI court in Panchkula, adjoining Chandigarh, granted regular bail to the Dera Sacha Sauda sect chief in the case. The court had framed charges in August against him and two of his doctor followers, M.P. Singh and Pankaj Garg, for castration of scores of sect followers. T h e g o d m a n wa s charged with cheating and voluntarily causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapons or means whereas the two doctors were charged with criminal conspiracy and causing grievous hurt. The Central Bureau of Investigation had in February filed a chargesheet against the controversial sect chief and Drs Singh and Garg.

Gen Zameer Uddin Shah, met the then Chief Minister Narendra Modi, in the presence of the then Defence Minister George Fernandes, at 2 am in Ahmedabad and gave him a list of immediate requirements to enable the Army columns to fan out to restore law and order. But the 3,000 troops that had landed at the Ahmedabad airfield at 7 am on March 1, had to wait for a day before the Gujarat administration provided the transport -- during which period hundreds of people were killed. “These were crucial hours lost,” Shah, who retired as the Deputy Chief of Army Staff, has revealed in his upcoming memoir titled “The Sarkari Mussalman” (Konark Publishers) to be launched by former Vice President Hamid Ansari on October 13 at India International Centre here. In the memoir, a copy of which is with IANS, Shah writes that the Gujarat government requested for deployment of the Army through the Union Home Ministry and the Ministry of Defence on February 28, 2002.

South Korea ex-president Lee jailed for 15 years

Denis Mukwege, Nadia Murad win 2018 Nobel Peace Prize

Seoul, Oct 5 (AFP): Former South Korean president Lee Myung-bak was jailed for 15 years for corruption Friday, becoming the latest of the country’s exleaders to be sent to prison. The 76-year-old CEOtur ned-president, who served from 2008 to 2013, was found guilty on charges including bribery and embezzlement and ordered to pay a fine of 13 billion won ($11.5 million) by the Seoul Central District Court. “Bringing everything into consideration, heavy punishment for the accused is inevitable,” said a judge during the trial that was live televised. Lee was not in attendance, citing ill-health. The former South Korean leader was indicted in April on 16 charges that included bribery, embezzlement and abuse of power. The court found that Lee was the de-facto owner of DAS, a controversial auto parts company, which he used to create slush funds of around 24 billion won. Lee was also found guilty of accepting nearly six billion won from Samsung Electronics in return for a presidential pardon for its chairman Lee Kun-hee, who was jailed for tax evasion.

Oslo, Oct 5 (AFP): Congolese doctor Denis Mukwege and Yazidi campaigner Nadia Murad won the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for their work in fighting sexual violence in conflicts around the world. The pair won the award for their “efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war,” Nobel committee chairwoman Berit ReissAndersen said in unveiling the winners in Oslo. “A more peaceful world can only be achieved if women and their fundamental rights and security are recognised and protected in war,” she said. Both Mukwege and Murad have come to represent the struggle against a global scourge which goes well beyond any single conflict, as the ever-expanding #MeToo movement has shown. Mukwege, 63, was recognised for two decades of work to help women recover from the violence and trauma of sexual abuse and rape in war-torn eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.

US will defeat its enemies: Trump

Washington, Oct 5 (PTI): US President Donald Trump unveiled a new counter-terrorism strategy which issues a tough warning to terrorist groups and their supporters that the United States will defeat its enemies with the full force of American might. The strategy for counterterrorism focuses efforts on pursuing terrorists to their source and isolating terrorists from their support, the US administration said. “Guided by the National Strategy for Counterterrorism, we will use all instruments of American power to protect our great nation, and we will defeat our enemies with the full force of American might,” Trump said after basic contours of National Strategy for Counterterrorism were made public. The strategy, Trump said, outlines the approach of the US to countering the increasingly complex and evolving terrorist threats and represents the nation’s first fully articulated counterterrorism strategy since 2011. “It provides the strategic guidance needed to protect the United States against all terrorist threats, while simultaneously fostering the agility to anticipate, prevent, and respond to new

threats,” he said. Describing the strategy as a significant departure from the previous Obama Administration, his National Security Advisor John Bolton told reporters that the strategy focuses efforts on pursuing terrorists to their source and isolating terrorists from their support. It also involves modernising and integrating US’s counterterrorism tools, protecting infrastructure and enhancing preparedness, countering terrorist radicalisation and recruitment and strengthening the counterterrorism abilities of its international partners, he said. “The strategy articulates a counterterrorism approach that is sustainable, more efficient, prioritized

Interpol president reported missing during trip to China

Meng Hongwei

Paris, Oct 5 (AP): The president of Interpol, a former senior Chinese security official, has been reported missing after he travelled to his native country at the end of September, a French judicial official said Friday. Meng Hongwei’s wife reported Friday that she had not heard from her 64-year-old husband since he left Lyon, France, where Interpol is based, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to provide details of an ongoing investigation. The French official said Meng did arrive in China. There was no further word on Meng’s schedule in China or what prompted his wife to wait until now to report his absence. In a statement, Interpol said it was aware of reports about Meng’s disappearance and added “this is a matter for the relevant authorities in both France and China.” The statement noted that Interpol’s secretary general, and not its president, is responsible for the international police agency’s operations. News of the

investigation into Meng’s disappearance came during a weeklong public holiday in China. In Beijing, the foreign and public security ministries did not immediately respond to calls and faxed requests for comment Friday. Meng was elected president of Interpol in November 2016. His term runs until 2020. He has held a variety of positions within China’s security establishment, including as a vice minister of public security — the national police force — since 2004. In the meantime, he served as head and deputy head of branches of the coast guard, all while holding positions at Interpol. Meng’s duties in China would have put him in close proximity to former leaders, some of whom had fallen afoul of President Xi Jinping’s sweeping crackdown on corruption. In particular, Meng likely dealt extensively with former security chief Zhou Yongkang, who is now serving a life sentence for corruption. Xi has also placed a premium on obtaining the return of officials and business people accused of fraud and corruption from abroad, making Meng’s position all the more sensitive. When Meng was elected in 2016 as Interpol president, rights groups expressed concern that he would pursue an agenda of politicised policing that targeted Xi’s opponents.

and less reliant on only United States’ capabilities,” Bolton said. “Because the global threat posed by terrorist groups is more complex and diffuse than ever, this strategy provides the framework to protect the United States against all terrorists who threaten our country,” he said. As part of the strategy, the top Trump advisor said the US will not focus on a single organisation, but will counter all terrorists with the ability and intent to harm the United States, citizens, and its interests. “We will place greater emphasis on targeting terrorist networks that threaten the US and our allies, and focus our efforts on disrupting and denying the ways

and means terrorists use to radicalize, recruit, mobilize, finance, travel, communicate, and inspire new followers,” he said. “We will deny terrorists the freedom to travel and communicate across international borders, and take action to limit their ability to recruit and radicalize online. We will counter the violent, extreme, and twisted ideologies that purport to justify and excuse the murder of innocents,” Bolton said. Bolton asserted this strategy stresses better integration of national power, both, military and nonmilitary, to combat terrorism and terrorist ideologies, with an increased emphasis on non-kinetic means. Trump said under his leadership, the United States has accelerated efforts to defeat terrorists. “Working with coalition partners, we have decimated ISIS in Syria and Iraq,” he said. “Likewise, I ended United States participation in the horrible Iran deal, which had provided a windfall for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its proxies, funding Iran’s malign activities throughout the world. Importantly, I have also secured historic increases in defense funding to rebuild our Nation’s military,” said the US President.

treated tens of thousands of victims of rape at Panzi hospital which he founded in 1999 in South Kivu. Known as “Doctor Miracle”, he is an outspoken critic of the abuse of women during war who has described rape as “a weapon of mass destruction.” Alongside Mukwege, the committee honoured Murad, a 25-yearold Iraqi woman from the Yazidi community who in 2014 was kidnapped by Islamic State militants and endured three months as a sex slave before managing to escape. “Denis Mukwege and Nadia Murad have both put their personal security at risk by courageously combating war crimes and seeking justice for the victims,” the Norwegian No-

bel Committee said. “They have thereby promoted the fraternity of nations through the application of principles of international law.” With the postponement of this year’s Literature Prize for the first time in 70 years over a #MeToo scandal at the Swedish Academy, Friday’s peace award was the most highly anticipated Nobel announcement this year. A total of 331 individuals and organisations were nominated for the prestigious peace award, almost a record number. The award will be presented at a ceremony in Oslo on December 10, the anniversary of the 1896 death of prize creator Alfred Nobel, a Swedish philanthropist and scientist.

Indonesia quake, tsunami toll tops 1,500 J A K ARTA , O c t 5 (Agencies): Search teams made desperate last-ditch efforts Friday to find survivors, a week on from Indonesia’s devastating quake-tsunami, as the death toll from the disaster rose above 1,500. The city of Palu on Sulawesi island has been left in ruins after being hit by a 7.5 magnitude quake and a wall of water, which flattened homes, ripped up trees and overturned cars. After days of delays, international aid has finally started to arrive in the disaster zone, where the UN says almost 200,000 people are in need of humanitarian

assistance. Authorities previously set a tentative deadline of Friday for finding anyone trapped under ruined buildings, although chances of pulling survivors alive from the rubble at such a late stage are almost zero. Local military spokesman Muhammad Thohir said that the death toll had risen to 1,558, up about 100 from the previous official figure. Over 100 people are still unaccounted for, while hundreds of bodies have been buried in mass graves in a bid to avert a disease outbreak from corpses rotting in the tropical sun.

In exchange, the United States would declare a formal end to the 1950-53 Korean War, which closed with an armistice rather than a full-blown peace treaty, but North Korea would stop short of delivering an exhaustive list of its nuclear facilities, she said.

Captain America actor to retire from role

I

t looks like Chris Evans - the actor who plays Captain America in the Marvel movies - is giving up the role after eight years. He’s played him in 10 films, starting with Captain America: The First Avenger. Chris portrayed one of the original cinematic Avengers alongside Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye. He’s now finished filming Avengers 4, Marvel’s 22nd film, and tweeted to say that playing Cap has been “an honour”.

Warning: There are some spoilers below for Avengers: Infinity War The Marvel Cinematic Universe - or MCU as it’s also known - has been an absolute beast of cinema since it began with the first Iron Man film in 2008. Captain America: The First Avenger was the fifth film in the series, released in 2011. It introduced a whole new audience to Steve Rogers, a small, scrawny but honourable man who more than anything wants to join the US Army to fight

the Nazis during World War II. He’s given an injection of serum that turns him into a super soldier: Captain America. The rest is (fictional) history. As Cap, Chris has fought Nazis, aliens, evil robots and even his own best friend. Online, there’s an outpouring of emotion over the end of an era. Even other superheroes are getting involved. Here’s Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds. O t h e r s h ave b e e n

Ranveer, Deepika dodge wedding date questions

A

ctors Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone smartly dodged and laughed away questions surrounding their wedding at a summit here on Friday, quipping how they have been engaged and married several times according to media reports. The grapevine was abuzz that the two would tie the knot in November, and that preparations were underway. The powerhouse couple made a joint appearance at the 16th Hindustan Times Leadership Summit here when they were asked point blank: “When is the

wedding?” Ranveer took the first plunge to address the question, and said in his inimitable style: “When, where, you are reading that everyday in the news. My sherwani’s colour, the wedding itinerary, the gifts that guests are going to give... Everything is decided. So you know all about it. “Our very enthusiastic friends in the media are not holding back and yeah, it’s all out there. But when there is something, you all will be the first to know.” Just when he dodged the query, Deepika was asked in a straightforward

way: “Was there a November wedding which has now been pushed to early next year?” Deepika, who looked resplendent in a sari, said: “There were many November weddings... By the way, we have as per the media, been married several times.” Ranveer promptly added: “What all has not happened in our lives. We have been engaged multiple times, and this has been written about with such details that I find it very fascinating... Such creative writing that someone can write a script.” Later, in the discussion, the two, who have worked together in films like “Goliyon Ki Raasleela - Ram-Leela”, “Bajirao Mastani” and “Padmaavat”, were asked what would be the things they would like to change in each other. While Deepika pointed out Ranveer’s erratic food and sleep habits, Ranveer said he would not like to change anything about her. But as Deepika deduced, they are both “poles apart”. (IANS)

showing their love for the man behind the mask too. Chris Evans’s apparent retirement from playing the character isn’t a surprise. He previously said of the role: “You want to get off the train before they push you off.” And we’ve known a lot of the main Avengers actors are out of contract after Avengers 4. That as yet untitled film is the direct sequel to Avengers: Infinity War, where a lot of characters appeared to die. We’ll have to wait until next year to find out what happened to the characters in that film. Captain America isn’t the first comic book character that Chris Evans has played. He was also the Human Torch in two Fantastic Four movies in 2005 and 2007 alongside Jessica Alba. Evans has been a vocal critic of US president Donald Trump, calling him the “puppet” of Russian leader Vladimir Putin earlier this year. (BBC)

Amazon reveals Alexa’s mostrequested albums

E

d Sheeran’s ÷ is the most-requested album on Amazon’s voice-activated speakers, the company has revealed. It’s hardly surprising: The record was the UK’s best-seller last year, shifting more than 2.5 million copies. Hit records by George Ezra, Adele and Dua Lipa also feature in the Top 50, which was released to coincide with National Album Day. But a closer look at Alexa’s most-popular albums reveals behaviour that may concern the music industry. When people use voice commands to stream music, they consistently ask for songs they already know, with new artists largely frozen out of the picture. For instance, Ed Sheeran accounts for three of the top five most-requested records; while there are multiple entries in the Top 50 for stars like Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Little Mix, and Katy Perry.

Netflix is rebooting ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’

N

etflix is taking a huge step into fantasy, after securing the rights to C.S. Lewis’ The Chronicles of Narnia. Although full details of the project are yet to emerge, it’s believed that the streaming service will reboot the Disney films series of the early to mid 2000s – which offered a big screen take on books including The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, and Voyage Of The Dawntreader.

However, if they wish to follow the traditional chronology of Narnia, then fans can expect The Magician’s Nephew to emerge first. In this regard, they’ve confirmed they have access to all seven books. “C.S.

The follow up to 2017’s platinum selling ‘Evolve’, ‘Origins’, the band’s fourth studio album, will be released on November 9 via KIDinaKORNER and Polydor Records. Previous single releases ‘Natural’ and ‘Zero’ will also appear on the album.

He said: “It’s about seeking new ground but also appreciating your roots. When we create, we create with no boundaries, no

Recently, Reynolds joined the chorus of artists taking a stand against Eminem for his use of homophobic language on his new album ‘Kamikaze’. Reynolds, a vocal gay rights activist, said: “It’s never ok to say a word that is filled with hate. “I don’t care what year you were born in or what meaning it has to you. if

it contributes to hate and bigotry then it is hateful. period. there is never an ok time to say the word fa**ot I don’t care who you are. “I’ve lived enough of my life remaining silent on these issues because of fear or lack of education. I don’t live in fear anymore. I still have lots to learn. but no. I will not be a silent voice with this platform I have been given.” Reviewing Imagine Dragons last album, ‘ E vo l ve ’ , N M E s a i d : “‘Evolve’, the band’s third full-length record in five years, is an ’80s-flecked, power-rock pumping station fit to burst with huge choruses.” (NME)

Foo Fighters tease Trump administration asks Google to shun China Search project Nirvana reunion show

U

S Vice President Mike Pence has called on Google to end its censored Chinese Search engine the “Dragonfly” project. According to a Wall Street Journal report, Pence in a speech on Thursday said American companies

must reconsider turning over intellectual property as they expand in China. Google’s modified search engine -- codenamed “ D r a g o n f ly ” - - wo u l d “strengthen Communist Party censorship and compromise the privacy of Chinese customers,” Pence

said.

The news about Google’s plan to build a censored search engine in China broke in August when The Intercept reported that the search platform would blacklist “sensitive queries” about topics including politics, free speech, democracy,

human rights and peaceful protest, triggering internal protests among some Google employees. Two weeks after that report, Google CEO Sundar Pichai told the company’s employees that the China plan was in its “early stages” and “exploratory”.

Google operated its services in China until 2010. Pichai is scheduled to testify before the House Judiciary Committee in November to allay concerns over privacy issues and the

tech giant’s entry into the Chinese market. He confirmed the November schedule during a private meeting with GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill in September. (IANS)

oo Fighters have teased that Nirvana are set to reunite this weekend for a performance at the band’s CalJam festival. Yesterday evening, the rock giants posted two cryptic hints on Twitter that suggest a comeback performance could be on the cards. The first came as they announced a screening of Joan Jett’s new documentary at the California festival. “CAN’T WAIT!! What else could we have up our sleeves???” Stay tuned….”, they wrote. Jett, of course, famously joined Nirvana in 2014 as a backing singer for a onetime performance after their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. K

The second hint then came from that very performance – with Foo Fighters sharing footage on Twitter. “This is a jam”, they wrote. The tweet was subsequently retweeted by Nirvana’s official account. The r umours were given further substance by the festival’s line-up too. As well as ex-Nirvana members Dave Grohl and Pat Smear being in Foo Fighters, former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic is due to appear with his band, Giants In The Trees. They’ll also be joined on the line-up by Deer Tick, whose singer John McCauley performed in the 2014 Nirvana reunion. Foo Fighters are yet to officially comment on the speculation. (NME)

ISL 5: Kerala held 1-1 by Mumbai City FC DFL: Ekhyo FC, Chanan FC win

Players of Kerala Blasters and Mumbai City FC vie for the ball during their match on Friday.

Kochi, Oct 5 (Agencies): Halicharan Narzary’s first-half strike was cancelled out by a brilliant long-range strike by Pranjal Bhumij as Kerala Blasters were held 1-1 by Mumbai City at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi on Friday. David James named an unchanged lineup for the first home match of the season. They had beaten ATK 2-0 in the season opener in Kolkata.

The home team should have taken the lead as early as the third minute of the game. Young full-back Mohamad Rakip played a delightful cross-field throughball for Halicharan Narzary to chase on the left flank. The winger found Seminlen Doungel in acres of space inside the box but a terrific reflex save by Amrinder Singh with his leg denied Blasters the lead. The vociferous crowd cheered the team on as Ker-

ala Blasters exerted dominance on the field. Poplatnik’s upper-body strength allowed him to outmuscle Sehnaj Singh and split the Mumbai backline to find Stojanovic. The Serbian’s first touch inside the box was too heavy, allowing Lucian Goian to slide in with a well-timed block. The Mumbai City skipper then turned up at the other end of the box. Paulo Machado’s free-kick was headed wide by the

Romanian centre-back midway through the first half. Blasters took the lead with a well-worked goal in the 24th minute. Nikola Krcmarevic shielded a throw-in from the right flank and produced a brilliant back-heel pass into the feet of Doungel inside the box. The former NorthEast United striker raced to the byline before picking out an unmarked Narzary on the other side of the box. The 24-year-old took a touch on the ball before slotting it home. The Yellow Ar my looked comfortable on the ball and were fluid in the attacking third of the field. The Islanders looked bereft of ideas at the other end, with Rafael Bastos struggling to get into the game. Stojanovic was ready to float wide whenever required and Poplatnik dropped deep throughout the match to link midfield to attack. This allowed Doungel to occupy a more advanced role but he was wasteful. Mumbai City’s attempts to get back into the game appeared half-hearted

WI slump to 94/6 vs India on Day 2

Rajkot, Oct 5 (Agencies): Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja scored centuries as India racked up 649-9 declared against Windies on day two of the first Test before reducing the beleaguered tourists to 94-6 in Rajkot. Kohli (139) hit his 24th Test ton - taking him above Virender Sehwag and up to outright fourth on India’s all-time list while Jadeja (100no) struck

his first as the hosts built on the debut hundred from teenager Prithvi Shaw on day one and recorded their highest Test score against Windies. The tourists, wearied by spending almost 150 overs in the field, then crumbled, with Mohammed Shami (2-11) ousting openers Kraigg Brathwaite (2) and Kieran Powell (1) and Jadeja seizing a wicket and a run out as Windies

closed 555 runs behind with only four wickets intact. Rishabh Pant (92) had earlier missed out on becoming the fourth centurion of the India innings and recording back-toback hundreds following his 114 against England at The Oval in September. But the wicketkeeperbatsman did provide royal entertainment with eight fours and four sixes in his 84-ball knock before he fell

to leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo, who ended with figures of 4-217 from 54 overs. Kohli called his side in a ball after Jadeja completed his maiden Test ton against a Windies attack missing Kemar Roach due to a family bereavement and captain Jason Holder through an ankle injury. Windies started their innings after tea, with stand-in skipper Brathwaite back in the shed from the 10th ball he faced as Shami clattered his off stump, a wicket that triggered an alarming collapse. Roston Chase (27no) and Keemo Paul (13no) will begin proceedings on Saturday, with their unbroken seventh-wicket stand having reached 20. Brief scores: India 1st innings: 649/9 (Virat Kohli 139; Prithvi Shaw 134; Devendra Bishoo 4/217) against West Indies: 94/6 (Roston Chase 27 not out; Mohammad Shami 2/11) at stumps on Day 2.

and their unsynchronized midfield and attack looked clueless. Raynier dribbled forward through the centre and passed the ball to Arnold on the right channel. The Congo forward, in a desperate attempt to equalize, blasted the ball into the side-netting. The introduction of CK Vineeth, Courage Pekuson and Keziron Kizito in the second-half helped the hosts to tighten their grip on the game. Pekuson found an unmarked Stojanovic in the centre of the box but the Serbian failed to get his shot away. David James was left to rue his team’s profligacy in the added time. Pranjal Bhumij picked up Sanju Pradhan’s pass in the centre of midfield and unleashed a terrific strike that smashed the top right corner of the net. Mumbai City, having been on the back-foot for most of the game, left the pitch delighted, with a crucial point added to their tally. Today’s match Time: 7:30 pm Chennaiyin FC vs FC Goa
