Kiphire town dry amid 7 rivers

Correspondent KIPHIRE, OCT 6 (NPN): In an irony of sorts, which typifies the reality in Nagaland, Kiphire, which means valley surrounded by water in Sangtam language, is facing acute water scarcity. Despite crores of rupees being spent annually for various drinking water projects in various parts of Nagaland, the achievements are perhaps best known to

the authorities concerned at the government level. Kiphire town is surrounded by at least seven rivers and streams– Zingki, Thsingaki, Nguki, Thükhaki, Yongna Rokre, Shu-yongkhi, Mütreki- but due to lack of government-owned water facilities, most residents here are compelled to buy water from carriers to meet their daily needs. Kiphire town which has approximately around 1000 households depend heavily on private
water pipeline that comes at a hefty fee of Rs.350 to Rs.400 per month. With increase of urban population from villages, more people are buying water from private water carriers in town costing Rs.200 for 500 litres. The demand for water has outstripped the ability of the local water business entrepreneurs to meet the demands. As per the PHE department record, presently there
is 40,000 litre water reservoir that supplies water to more than 400 consumers with a monthly fee of Rs.100. The main source of the PHED water pipeline comes from Yongna Rokre river, which is about 16.5 km away from Kiphire town. The water source was constructed in the year 2002. The existing two and half inch diameter pipeline is insufficient to feed the whole town. The department sources said the present water supply connectivity was also experiencing frequent damages caused by landslides and owing to age-old pipes. According to department sources, a new proposal for water supply has been submitted to the government. Some members of the public are beginning to consider probing how much funds have been allotted for the district during the past decades. The government needs to urgently intervene and address the issue before it faces the ire of public. As per the data available on PHED website, the status of rural water supply in Kiphire district was 98 villages/habitations as on August 16, 2018.

BAN laments taxation on Naga entrepreneurs DIMAPUR, OCT 6 (NPN): Business Association of Nagas (BAN) has expressed serious concern over taxation demand on a renowned Naga businessman and an entrepreneur recently. In a press note, BAN media cell sated that the group, besides demanding a huge amount as yearly tax, had also downed the shutters of the business establishment. BAN condemned such demands and acts. While appreciating that some NNPGs had resolved to exempt Naga entrepreneurs from taxation, BAN said such groups have understood that imposing tax on Naga brothers and sisters would be counterproductive and have negative impact on the upcoming Naga entrepreneurs. Urging these groups to uphold their resolution, BAN at the same time appealed to the NNPGs who have not exempted Naga entrepreneurs to come into the fold and earn the goodwill of the Naga people. It also reaffirmed the public resolution of ‘One Government, one Tax’. (Cont’d on p-5)
Day 3 MRVC: 27665 children vaccinated
NPF legislature party criticizes Speaker DIMAPUR, OCT 6 (NPN): NPF Legislature Party has expressed disappointment and criticized the NLA speaker for “failing to apply his wisdom and keep the August House in order” during the recently concluded Assembly session. NPF alleged that the speaker was rather remotely controlled, which led to mismanagement of the decorum of the House. During the meeting held at the residence of the leader of opposition (LoP) in Dimapur on October 6, to review the proceedings of the 2nd Assembly session, NPF LoP’s information & publicity wing said that the legislators deliberated on the issue where the speaker denied ample time for the question hour. As item no.1 of the business list of the day was obituary reference and item no.2 was Question Hour, NPF said that the leader of the house took about 37 minutes for obituary reference and leader of the opposition another 15 minutes for the same. However, as per Rule No. 30 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in NLA, NPF said that the Question Hour was to be allotted 1 hour.
However, NPF claimed that the speaker permitted only 8 minutes, since the latter clubbed item no.1 and item no.2. “This is nothing but intentional shying away from their responsibility to answer the questions raised by the opposition bench,” the opposition party stated. NPF further pointed out that the conduct of the officials of the Assembly secretariat was also not aboveboard while tendering advice and guidance to the Speaker. It said that the NPF members were of the view that such differential attitude towards the opposition should not be repeated in the future so that the dignity of the August House was upheld in right spirit. The party also alleged that many starred questions put up by NPF members were also omitted. Out of 50 starred questions put forward, only 28 were accepted and listed, it said, adding while some of the un-starred questions were also not provided answers according to the questions. NPF said that specific supplementary questions raised by the members were left unanswered by the minister in-charge, including the leader of the house. Ques-
tions like-- Why the government did not file an affidavit to counter the claim of Civil Engineers Enterprise Pvt. Ltd. (CEEPL)? Why the State government did not challenge to vacate the stay order? etc. were raised. However, NPF said that the leader of the house gave only the excuse that, all the advocates in Kolkata were “purchasable” by Ghosal & Co. Despite making such un-parliamentary statement, undermining the integrity of the legal community in West Bengal, NPF said the speaker neither expunged the remark nor took appropriate action taken. On the issue of the Citizenship Bill 2016 and the Brahmaputra Board, which was listed for the second day of the session, NPF alleged that the speaker arbitrarily omitted it, citing reason that it was not a State subject but a Central subject. NPF opined that such erroneous judgment was unprecedented and must be avoided in future. It said these issues were not only a matter for the elected members but encompasses the future of each and every citizen of the state in general and the Nagas in particular. (Cont’d on p-5)

Mizoram fully prepared MU crisis: Students clash with police for Assembly polls: CEO comparison between students and terrorists was “shocking”. He also attacked the acting VC over his claim that Governor Najma Heptulla was lending “overt support” to the agitators. The students’ leader said only a “mentally unsound” individual could level such charges against the governor. Dayamand said Heptulla has been making efforts to restore normalcy in the varsity and for resumption of academic activities. He also welcomed chief minister N Biren Singh’s orders to the DGP to stop all attempts to arrest the students and teachers and withdraw security forces from the campus. The Manipur University has been on the boil for several months. It opened on August 23 after 85-day strike by the students who had been demanding removal of the then VC A P Pandey over allegations of administrative and financial irregularities against him. President Ram Nath Kovind, in his capacity as Visitor of the Manipur University, recently placed Pandey under suspension as an inquiry is underway into the allegations against him. Prof Yugindro was appointed as the acting VC soon after.
Major political parties in Mizoram welcomed the announcement of the poll date to the 40-member state legislative assembly by the Election Commission of India Saturday.

Former minister and vice president of the opposition Mizo National Front (MNF) Dr. R. Lalthangliana said the party was enthusiastic about the announcement of the date. Lalthangliana expressed optimism that the MNF would be voted to power after being in opposition for a decade.

Asked if he was ever scolded by BJP president Amit Shah because of his statements, Deb said Shah never told him anything about his statements. On illegal immigrants, he said Assam NRC is an issue of Assam and the Centre. He said if the Centre decides to approach Tripura for an Assam-like NRC, he will take it forward but until then there is no plan to implement it in Tripura. “We should wait for the results from the Assam NRC and then see if we want to implement it in other states or not,” Deb said. Stating that his government will make Tripura a drug-free state, Deb said Tripura’s drug problem is bigger than Punjab’s. “The (DRUG) mafia were growing it in the state. They used to pay Rs 500-700 per kilogram to farmers and sell it for Rs 20,000 per kg in the market,” Deb said.

People’s Protection Bill not like NRC: Manipur CM
N Biren Singh (file)
Kolkata, Oct 6 (PTI): Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh Saturday said the Manipur People’s Protection Bill will not stop anyone from settling down in the state, and it is not similar to the National Register of Citizens (NRC). The Bill, passed unanimously by the Manipur assembly on July 23, aims to grant the status of “natives” to Meiteis, Pangal Muslims, scheduled tribes and others who moved to the state before 1951. Meiteis and Pangal Muslims are ethnic groups of Manipur. The rest, categorised as “Non-Manipuris”, will have to register themselves within one month of the notification of the law. “NRC has nothing to do with Manipur.... NRC is purely for Assam. The People’s Protection bill is a regulatory bill (that will) not deny anyone (the right) to settle,” N Biren Singh said while speaking
at the India Today Conclave East. The only similarity between the NRC and the Manipur People’s Protection Bill is that both seek to identify people who are not Indians, but the People’s Protection Bill will not bar anybody from buying property or settling down, Singh said. Stating that the situation of Manipur is not that of Kashmir, he said the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act has been withdrawn from municipal areas but lifting it from rural areas will take a “little more time” as “national integration and unity of India” are important. The situation in the state has become relatively peaceful now, he said. “Unlike the situation in Kashmir, which has to deal with infiltration from Pakistan, identifying aggressors in Manipur is difficult since everything happens internally,” he said.

Kolkata, Oct 6 (PTI): Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb Saturday said he brought transparency in the system in three and a half months. When he took over six months ago in March, Deb said, Tripura was in a debt of Rs 11,500 core, but he is optimistic to make the state a model one in the next three years. Taking over as the chief minister he thought he would have no work to do, but was surprised by the amount of neglect the previous government had shown towards Tripura, Deb said while speaking at an interactive session at the India Today Conclave East here. Asked about what he has done as the chief minister in the past six months, Deb said the first thing that his government introduced was transparency in the system. “It took me three and a half months to bring in transparency in the system. We introduced a transparent recruitment policy as well,” he said. Talking about his comments making news, he said people have always quoted him without hearing the full speech. During his tenure as Tripura CM, Deb has made it to headlines often because of his statements.

Cong attacks EC; Rawat clarifies
New Delhi, Oct 6 (IANS): The Election Commission (EC) on Saturday rejected the Congress allegation that it had rescheduled the press conference to declare the poll schedule in five states under “pressure” from the Prime Minister to accommodate his election rally in Ajmer in Rajasthan. As the Commission came under attack, Chief Election Election Commissioner O.P. Rawat suo motu, in his press conference, referred to the delay in the media interaction and said technical experts of the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) informed the Commission in the morning that there were some technical problems relating to electoral roll of one state and they needed more time to solve it. He also mentioned the pending plea in the Hyderabad High Court and the Friday order of the court directing the Commission to show the final electoral rolls of Telangana to the bench on October 8, the next date fixed for hearing, before releasing it.
OP Rawat (file) The CEC also said that Chief secretary of Tamil Nadu requested the Commission not to announce the schedule for by elections to two Assembly seats in the state as there is forecast of cyclone and rain. “All this things made us to change everything,” he said. Later during the question-answer session, Rawat was sked about the criticism over rescheduling the time of the press conference from 12.30 p.m. to 3 p.m. and that it was done under pressure from Prime Minister to accommodate his election rally in Ajmer in Rajasthan. He replied said there was no pressure from anywhere. “There would not
have been a delay of twothree hours but for the problem relating to electoral rolls in Telangana,” he said and added parties were free to complain to the Commission if somebody got a concession. “It is the duty of the Commission to satisfy all the stakeholders. We will hold free, fair and credible elections which is our commitment and compulsion,” he said. Earlier, he had said politicians and political parties make criticism and the Commission has no comments to make on that. In the morning, Congress questioned the independence of the Commission in the wake of the change of timing of the press conference. “Three facts- Draw your own conclusions. ECI announces a PC at 12.30 today (Saturday) to announce election dates to the 5 states. PM Modi is addressing a rally in Ajmer, Rajasthan at 1 p.m. today. ECI suddenly changes the time of announcement and PC to 3 p.m. Independence of ECI?,” Congress chief Spokesperson Randeep
Singh Surjewala tweeted. Speaking in Kolkata, he said “Prime Minister Narendra Modi is guilty of pressuring the EC to delay its press conference as he was scheduled to address a rally in Rajasthan’s Ajmer at 1 pm. The EC was made to wait for Modi’s rally.” Former Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha also joined issues by tweeting: “Unfortunate that Election Commission postponed announcement of election dates in five states only to enable Modi to address his public meeting in Ajmer, Rajasthan. Very sad.” Reacting to it, the Commission had told journalists, “Prime concern was for convenience of all of you media persons to reach in time at short notice of morning message and arranging logistics here.” Earlier in the day, the Commission sent a message to media persons at 9.50 a.m. regarding the press conference at 12.30 p.m. Almost after an hour, the reporters received another message that the timing of the press conference had been changed to 3 p.m.
TN Gov alleges corruption in appointment of VCs Chennai, Oct 6 (IANS): Tamil Nadu Governor Banwarilal Purohit on Saturday alleged corruption running into crores of rupees in the appointment of Vice Chancellors of universities in the state. Addressing a conference on “Enhancing Quality Education” here, Purohit said he came to know about appointment of Vice Chancellors on the basis of exchange of huge amounts of money. Purohits said he was not able to believe that first but discovered it himself and decided to change it. He said he had appointed nine Vice Chancellors in Tamil Nadu purely on merit. Reacting to Purohit’s charge, PMK leader Anbumani Ramadoss wondered what action the Governor has taken to punish the culprits. Ramadoss said it was not enough to detect presence of corruption in the appointment of Vice Chancellors, it was also the Governor’s duty to take action against those involved in corruption.

Cong practises votebank politics, says Narendra Modi Ajmer, Oct 6 (AGENCIES): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday accused the Congress of practising vote-bank politics and dividing people to get into power. Modi was addressing a rally in Ajmer just ahead of the Election Commission of India’s announcement of the schedule for Assembly elections in Rajasthan and four other States in November and December. He asked people not to let the Congress get into power again. Vote-bank politics was not limited to elections now. Political parties which did vote-bank politics divided the bureaucracy when they were in power and this badly affected governance, he said. They allocated the budget as per vote-bank politics and, therefore, overall development did not happen, he said at the meeting which marked the end of Rajasthan Chief M inister Va sundha ra Raje’s State-wide ‘Rajasthan Gaurav Yatra’, an outreach exercise by the

NCP chief Pawar not to contest 2019 LS polls
L u c k now, O c t 6 (AGENCIES): After Mayawati’s BSP, the Samajwadi Party (SP) on Saturday ruled out an alliance with the Congress for the Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh assembly elections. The Bahajan Samaj Party (BSP) had recently announced that it would not have any alliance with the Congress in the Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan assembly elections which will be held between November 12 and December 7. “We will fight elections in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh and speak to the Gondwana Gantantra Party (GGP) and the BSP for an alliance in the two states. The Congress has made us wait for long. We can’t wait anymore. We are already in touch with the GGP for an alliance in Chhattisgarh. We will do the same for MP,” SP chief Akhilesh Yadav told media persons on the sidelines of a convention of senior teachers at the party headquarters here. In an indirect reference to the statement of senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh that the BSP was not aligning with the Congress
Mumbai, Oct 6 (PTI): NCP president Sharad Pawar will not contest the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, party leader Jitendra Ahwad said here Saturday. Putting to rest speculations that Pawar will contest from Pune Lok Sabha seat, Ahwad told reporters that Pawar had already made it clear in 2014 that he will not contest the Lok Sabha polls again. “Pawar has told the party not to consider his name as he will not be a candidate. In today’s meeting, Pawar said he is not in the (LS) race and nobody should propose his name,” said the NCP MLA from Mumbra-Kalwa, in neighbouring Thane district. Awhad also denied that the NCP chief had opposed the candidature of Parth Pawar, son of senior leader Ajit Pawar, for the Mawal Lok Sabha seat. “Preliminary discussions are on. The name will be finalised after discussions with party workers,” Ahwad said. The former Union Agriculture minister is currently holding a two-day meeting with NCP leaders and functionaries at the party’s state unit office to discuss candidates for the LS polls scheduled for next year.
(From p-1) Asserting that multiple taxation was a constant harassment to the business community, which leads to price rise in the market, BAN appealed to the NNPGs to be considerate to Naga entrepreneurs and businessmen and exempt them from any form of taxation. BAN said most Naga entrepreneurs run small enterprises and struggle to make a little profit. “It is not fair on the part of our NNPGs to take away this little profit from them,” it added. BAN said that the organization, exclusively for ‘Nagas by blood’ members, had been advocating the scope of entrepreneurship to make Nagaland state a self-reliant and a developed state and not only a salaried Akhilesh Yadav (file) economy.

The Congress had established this tradition in the past 60 years. “With great difficulty, the country has picked the right direction now after 60 years. Don’t give them another chance again,” he said. The Congress leaders’ high command was a family and they could do politics only by revering it, he said. Modi accused that party also of playing lowlevel politics. Its leaders were questioning the surgical strikes by the Army across the Line of Control (LoC) two years ago and insulting soldiers, he said. They should be ashamed of indulging in such politics.
Indore, Oct 6 (IANS): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Amit Shah, who is on a visit to Madhya Pradesh, said on Saturday the country comes first for the party and no intruders will be allowed in India. In his address to party workers at the Dussehra Maidan here, he slammed the opposition parties, saying that they support the intruders for political gains but for the BJP the country comes first. This is why the intruders are being identified in several states across the country. Taking a jibe at the Congress, he said those questioning the BJP-led government on its four-year rule should first give an account of their four-decade rule. “In the last four years, the BJP has worked for the benefits to reach every section of the society,” he said. While he was welcomed by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and other leaders, several people came out on to the streets shouting slogans against Shah. They have been protesting against the amendment to the SC/ ST Act.

While delivering a speech on behalf of the children, Grace of Wondang– Ki Children Home, a class 12 student of Don Bosco HS School, Dimapur thanked the Governor for having a kind heart and passion towards the welfare of the children. She urged her fellow friends to aim for their goals and to work hard. Special presentations were also made by Chanan House of Hope, Ebenezer Orphanage Home, Deaf Biblical Ministry and Naga Blind Children Home. A special dance performance was also presented by Atsi Tatu. The interactive programme was followed by games at the lawns of the Raj Bhavan and lunch. The governor also donated carom board, board games, skipping ropes amongst other stationeries to all CCIs. He also presented a guitar to the Naga Blind Children Home, Dimapur.

Enlarging economic divide
P
rices of every item in the market has been witnessing steady rise, making essential commodities beyond reach of the lower section of society, especially the middle class monthly income group whose earnings are around Rs.10,000 a month. Those earning much less than Rs.10,000 have to live with the constant worry of how to make ends meet and never knowing when things could turn worse. The problems of those living in Nagaland, especially Dimapur face more than the dreadful rising prices. Daily life is living on the edge of confronting the ever rising number of extortions. Whether prices are shooting up due to the GST or due to the perpetual forcible collection of taxes; no one is sure, least of all authorities whose response is to bury their heads in the files against the mounting problems. The common man is the worst suffer because all he gets from both the politicians and government is lip service. When prices of commodities in Dimapur rise, they have a cascading and multiply effect on the prices in other districts. It is undeniable that lack of economic avenues and also the rising cost of living is contributing to rise in anti-social syndrome. Be it an enlarging cycle gravitating around a host of problems, there is hardly any solution in confronting to tackle these activities. The authorities have failed not because of lack of attempt but lack of purpose. Today official authorities have willingly abdicated their responsibility by following the advice of the political leaders, to ‘consult’ the various organizations in all matters of governance. Such a dichotomy has also led to decisions being more populist. For instance authorities do not exercise their power mainly because of parallel self-styled authorities which have been pandered tolerated by the constitutionally instituted government. The economic burden of the common people living in Dimapur is a multi-dimensional hydra - the hike in transport fares brought about by rise in prices of diesel and petrol; the added burden of illegal taxes and thirdly, the taxes on business by syndicates. The government of the day needs to take a serious view on this issue and check those who manipulate prices and promote black marketing and profiteering. The common man (and woman) who has to pay high prices will continue to suffer because no one is interested in protecting his rights and ensuring he gets what is due. This is a grim scenario but it reveals the economic plight that continues to confront thousands of families in Nagaland while they grapple with day to day conditions. Despite the pronouncements of the government offering all kinds of ‘incentives’ (that ultimately go to near and dear ones) thousands of those involved in small trade and enterprises; be it the few Nagas and majority non-Nagas, all are gradually getting suffocated by the weakening economy and also taxes imposed by all and sundry. What these reveal is a sub-culture which has complicated the problem of promoting progressive economic growth to the state especially commercial capital of the state which has fallen on bad times since the beginning of the 90s. This sub-culture has been nurtured and then taken roots in an environment of almost utter lawlessness for decades and birthing Frankensteins. The growing divide between the haves and haves not or those with power and the powerless is weighing down the future and towards economic gloom.
DailyDevotion The Nature of Regeneration
When it pleased God…to reveal His Son in me… —Galatians 1:15-16 If Jesus Christ is going to regenerate me, what is the problem He faces? It is simply this— I have a heredity in which I had no say or decision; I am not holy, nor am I likely to be; and if all Jesus Christ can do is tell me that I must be holy, His teaching only causes me to despair. But if Jesus Christ is truly a regenerator, someone who can put His own heredity of holiness into me, then I can begin to see what He means when He says that I have to be holy. Redemption means that Jesus Christ can put into anyone the hereditary nature that was in Himself, and all the standards He gives us are based on that nature— His teaching is meant to be applied to the life which He puts within us. The proper action on my part is simply to agree with God’s verdict on sin as judged on the Cross of Christ. The New Testament teaching about regeneration is that when a person is hit by his own sense of need, God will put the Holy Spirit into his spirit, and his personal spirit will be energized by the Spirit of the Son of God— “…until Christ is formed in you” (Galatians 4:19). The moral miracle of redemption is that God can put a new nature into me through which I can live a totally new life. When I finally reach the edge of my need and know my own limitations, then Jesus says, “Blessed are you…” (Matthew 5:11). But I must get to that point. God cannot put into me, the responsible moral person that I am, the nature that was in Jesus Christ unless I am aware of my need for it. Just as the nature of sin entered into the human race through one man, the Holy Spirit entered into the human race through another Man (see Romans 5:1219). And redemption means that I can be delivered from the heredity of sin, and that through Jesus Christ I can receive a pure and spotless heredity, namely, the Holy Spirit.

citizens, the harbingers Nagaland, hopeless land Senior of faith prayers in Nagaland for achievers in sports T
(Did you know? Nagas are undisputedly the most smart people in the world in the game called ‘Hide and Seek” Till today no one has been caught or arrested in any corruption related case ironically even a 10 years old kids raises the issue of corruptions on facebook.) I lived from the time of SC Jamir, to the time of Nephiu Rio as chief ministers. During these times of three decades I have never seen or heard anyone from Nagaland bagged the most coveted title called “world champion” or undisputed National champion. Where as, If we trace out the records of our neighbouring states like Manipur, Assam, Meghalaya etc, their production rate of achievers are outstanding because of reproduction. For instance Manipur have Mary Kom 5 (five) times amateur boxing world champion, Assam have golden girl Him Das, Meghalaya have excel in national football that influenced the high profile investors to start various infrastructural and other developmental program in the state. Contrary the production rate of achievers in Nagaland is very very low or nil!!!! But why why why??? Is it because of the unfavorable natural environment? Added with fermented food habits? I guess not!!!! Because at present Nagaland have witnessed a talented sportsmen like Israel G. Xuivi known for his fastest kick in martial arts,
N
Olympian Chekrovolu Swuro bronze medallist in Olympic archery, Mughato Zhimo three times national best football coach, Thupuvoyi Swuro prominent national archery, Hokaito Zhimomi first class national cricket player, Viseyie Kosa a professional sepaktakraw player in national and international, Joseph Sumi 10th times Northeast badminton champion and 15th times undisputed state badminton champion and many many more..... The above mentioned talented individuals have all tasted the sweetness of success however the ultimate “Dream Success” have all remained a stagnant dream due to the lack of proper management, financial constraints, lack of professional coaching and training, unavailability of sponsors, mentor and sports kits. Indeed and undeniably the govt have opened it’s doors and accommodated some of the achievers to its fold by offering a decent gazetted govt job but unfortunately the govt have forgotten to accommodate the talents along as a result Nagaland is unable to produce any international level top seeded sports figure Of whom we can really be proud of and feel worth to shell out travelling around to support him/her. All these factors led to a stumbling block like tumour thus required to be operated wide open. Relatively it’s high
time the govt should come out along fact to clarify the minds of the people simply by responding in the form of rejoinder to this article inclusive of the following sequence. 1. How much amount did the govt invest on these above mentioned talented individuals in the quest of producing multiple talented sportsmen like them? 2. How many sports academy or coaching centres have been opened so far through the influence of their outstanding performances or any other means? 3. What are the Achievements of Youth and sports ministry in the last 10 years? along with the presentation sheets that have been presented in parliament. 4. On what basis did the governor’s award being selected so far in the field of sports? Kindly educate us by enclosing the success stories of awardees for their tireless sacrifices and contributions towards the upliftment of sportsmen in our state. Lastly but not the least, putting us all into test once again our brother Kivi Jimo is all set to participate in ISL (Indian Super League) representing Nagaland with Northeast United FC. Hope this time he will return by flight not in a passenger train. Atoshe Chophy, Chekiye village, Dimapur, (amuatoshechophy@gmail.com)

he power of faith prayers, which we have witnessed over the past century is losing its popularity and it is being replaced by a more systematic and theologically correct prayers. However, one cannot deny the power of faith prayers of many believers that has withered personal as well as community storms. The dying tradition of faith prayer is very much limited to senior citizens and the individuals bat orn during the revival era of 1952 and 1976. Faith prayers focuses less on its presentations and put emphasis on faith. Faith, as mentioned in the book of Hebrew, states that, “faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the convictions of things not seen.” Silas Care Centre is a faith based ministry, primarily focused on pastoral counseling and senior citizen’s day care. Senior’s fellowship, which is held every Monday, has been a flagship program at Silas Care Centre since its inception. Every Monday, an average of 15 to 25 seniors gather for the fellowship. The symphony of the fellowship is herald by the serenading voices of the seniors. The word of God and testimonies has always been the pillar of the fellowship. However, the power of the fellowship derives from the faith prayers of these seniors. Every Monday, they put their whole heart, soul and strength to pray for strangers whom they might never meet again. Many testimonies of heali ngs, breakthroughs and blessings are echoed every Monday. The power of faith prayer has
been underestimated and undermined in many local churches as well as at homes. Many Christians feel that they are not righteous enough to musterthe faith required during prayer. Many more are sidelined on the assertion that their method of prayers are outdated in the fast paced technically engineered prayer lives. Many more feel that they are too old in age and even lacks proper understanding of the Word to say powerful prayers. Such assertions of misconceptions and misunderstanding of prayer have led many to lose faith in faith prayers. Many seniors today are the harbingers of faith prayer Christians. Their prayers might not be eloquent nor poetic; not systematic and often repetitive sometimes; coarse and even very long. But they pray from their heart, a genuine conversation with their heavenly father, whom they have never seen but believes against all odds that He is listening. It is such faith prayers that turns the world upside down. Many have shared the testimony of how faith prayers have broken the chains of addictions, bondage and pain. It has been an absolute joy worshipping together with the community of senior citizens who have withstood trials and sufferings, those who have severed multiple life storms, faith tested and tossed around by strange doctrines and new gospels but holding firm on to the only living power—faith prayers.

Fixing the unemployment crisis among the youths in Nagaland
T
he current state of unemployment among the youths in Nagaland is in a crestfallen state. It is a ticking time bomb that is going to explode in the next 10-15years given the unemployment rate of growth and leaves us all in a befuddle condition with an insurmountable task of coming to a solution. In the year 2016, there were 70,422 unemployed youths registered in the life register of the Department of Labor & Employment, that was two years ago by 2018 the number must have jumped to above hundred thousand unemployed youths. The 2016 registered number I presume must be way below the actual number of unemployed youths. If we take the estimated numbers of students graduating annually it comes to tens of thousands. The All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) 2016-17, report released by Human Resource Development (HRD) reported that for Under Graduate there were around 30,000 students and 1500 students for Post Graduate. Out of the staggering number of students graduating barely, 20003000 will see employment both Government jobs and self-employment. What will happen to the rest? They will be added to the Unemployed Youth files and that number will only begin to grow exponentially every year. A local daily reported on the 6th of April 2018 that a number of 4, 40,306 students were enrolled in 2835 schools. My worry is that one day 60-70% of those students will graduate, in approximation that’s around 3, 00,000 students. We don’t have the resources to employ even 10% of them, what is going to happen to all of them? Let me make this very clear, it’s not the Government’s headache, it’s a collective problem, and it’s an impending crisis for the Nagas. It’s your problem as much as it’s mine. Whether you and I have an opinion on the duties and the responsibilities of the Government done properly or not, the Government can do only so
much in fixing this issue. We have got to come together collectively and take this matter a little seriously and find a solution before we are left with no option but to abandon it completely. Someone once said “Don’t be a part of the problem but be a part of the solution” and I don’t want to keep on grousing about how bleak our situation is, I want to be a part of the solution. It aches my heart every time I hear about this issue and I have given a good amount of thought as to how it can be fixed. In my cogitation to find a solution I have repeatedly asked myself, what is the root of the problem? And how can I fix it? I have come to the realization that the root of the problem is not the paucity of jobs, it’s not the Government but it’s what we are teaching in our academic institutions and how we are teaching. There is a need for revamping, reshaping and reconstructing our educational system. I will be the first one to admit that not everything about our educational system is wrong but that does not mean it does not need a fixing. I have contemplated much on the word “Educated Unemployed” and I have asked myself why can’t a person be employed if he or she is educated? And I realize that the things that have been taught are obsolete now, it cannot be used anymore. Every person that steps out of a college or a university has the same hun-
dred years old knowledge that cannot be monetized neither it’s good enough to score a job. In my blog I have talked about how our educational system is designed to smother a child’s curiosity and creativity. Every great invention that has changed an era or brought prosperity to a nation came out of curiosity and our schools, colleges, and universities does exactly what is needed to stifle that “I-need-to-find-out” hunger. A child’s uniqueness is shut close either by a teacher, the institution’s rules or just some stupid silly reasons. The freedom to be self and freedom of expression is discouraged. I have had the fortune of visiting some few schools and I was appalled to find out that some of them are almost like a prison, no sense of freedom at all. Why should learning be done in such a suffocating place? That’s the reason why learning is despised by so many students. Students are given so much outdated information to memorize and learn that they have no time to create, innovate and come up with something new. They are kept busy with irrelevant subjects that when they come out looking for employment they possess nothing new to offer and no relevant skills. There is a need for renovation in our educational system. (To be concluded) Nzan Kikon, P.R.Hill, Kohima
Reader’s Post Sir,
Just a mirage
It is that time of the year approaching again where citizens of Kohima will face acute water shortage during the winter months. Even during rainy seasons, people are buying water by truckloads in Kohima and elsewhere simply because water supply is at its most erratic. Our land is blessed with so many beautiful fresh rivers that flow throughout the year but citizens are forced to buy the most basic of life’s sustenance. It is ironical that in Nagaland, public amenities like bijli paani are a mirage in the desert. K. David Angami, PWD Colony, Kohima do not reflect the view of this newspaper nor that of the Editor in any manner.

We also believe that isolated events should not be seen as having any system-wide implications,” he said. Both the central bankers explained that the two regulators, RBI and SEBI, along with the government, were closely watching the developments, while RBI Governor Urjit Patel said the central bank will extend possible support to the new IL&FS Board to reach normalcy.

‘myopic strategy.’ His colleague N Vishwanathan too shared a similar view, saying such events lead to rollover risks. “Chasing lower marginal cost of funding to acquire more market share in lending is a myopic strategy and is associated with a significant rollover risks in the medium-term. The practice seems to have led to a maturity rat race in the financing of the financial sector,” Acharya said. According to Vishwanathan, core investment companies were a category of NBFCs created to fund groups. As per norms, about 90 per cent of their investments should be in grouplevel entities and at least 60 per cent in the form of equity. However, of late, NBFCs witnessed tremen-

MUMBAI, Oct 6 (Agencies): Following the crisis involving Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services (IL&FS), the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has decided to wield more regulatory stick on Non-Banking Finance Companies (NBFC). On Friday, the central bank said it will tighten norms to avoid asset-liability mismatches among NBFCs. Apparently, lack of such regulations led to the current sorry state of affairs at the infrastructure major. Until now, some companies had a drop on the lax regulations and resorted to borrowing too much short-term capital to finance long-term projects which, in RBI Deputy Governor Viral Acharya’s eyes, was a

Special schemes from Tata Motors Finance, such as Rs.1 down payment for State and Central government employees and pensioners under Tata Motors’ “Trust of India” banner will also be available.

loan waiver by the Centre is bigger evil than loan waiver by states. “All farmers all over the country can’t be distressed,” he remarked. “If Industry doesn’t repay, you are a wilful defaulter and you are a criminal. If agriculture doesn’t pay you are a distressed farmer. We are not able to define who is a distressed farmer. Distressed farmer is not somebody who is able to get money from bank and certainly not the one who can’t afford to repay,” he said claiming that only 10 per cent of the farmers get bank loans. On financial inclusion, he said it was different from economic, social and political inclusion. “We talk as though financial inclusion is going to abolish poverty in India. Financial inclusion is only for those who have finance and if they are not included they will be included,” he added.

He was delivering key note address at “Artha 2018”, ISB’s annual financial conclave. Reddy believes that solution for problem in agriculture lies outside agriculture as the sector faces policy-induced risks and a host of uncertainties. “Will you put more money in expanding industry or contracting industry?” he asked the students while pointing out that agriculture accounts for 15-16 per cent of the GDP and it is likely to further come down. Reddy said he was an unwilling party to the biggest farm loan waiver in the country. He was referring to loan waiver by the UPA government in 2008 when he was the RBI Governor. He believes that farm

Hyderabad, Oct 6 (IANS): The Central government uses banks as a weapon to penetrate into jurisdiction of states, said former Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Y.V. Reddy on Saturday. He said by controlling the banking system, the government of India is having access to extra budgetary resources or unaccountable resources to penetrate into the policies which it could not otherwise do. Speaking at the Indian School of Business (ISB) here, Reddy said since the Union government had no developmental staff in the states, banks were used to penetrate into their jurisdiction. He attributed the problem of Indian banking industry to the dual control by the Central government and the RBI. “Recently, we had Urjit Patel (RBI Governor) as saying that regulation should be ownership-neutral. He says I don’t have regulatory powers but the government says RBI has enough regulatory powers. What is the truth? The truth is the problem of dual control,” he said. Reddy said the Narasimhan committee recommended that dual control should be done away

factors, both external: one is the oil prices and the second is the policies within the US which is leading to the hardening of the dollar itself, and therefore affecting other currencies all over the world. “As far as our internal situation is concerned, we have to consolidate our systems so the adverse impact on our growth is the least,” the Minister added. On the falling rupee, Jaitley said it is a cause of concern due to the variance in political and economists’ opinion, and if one only looked at the transient situation. “But since it is a creation of two factors -- oil and hardening of dollar -- once you have a settling impact, it (rupee) will find its own level. But what that level is, it has to be decided on the real strength of where the rupee stands and where the
and then do it by an appropriate law. “So the whole argument which was given that private companies can’t use it, there is Section 57 which says you can authorise others either by law or contract. So what has been struck down is by contract,” he said. Finance Minister said a legal provision through a legislation can restore linking of Aadhaar with mobile phones and bank accounts. “By law it can still be done, provided you do it under the adequate provision of law and do it on the basis of that in this field it is necessary,” he said. He, however, did not say if the government plans to bring a law in Parliament for the purpose. Jaitley said the Supreme Court has permitted Aadhaar linkage in several areas like income tax, based on “the principle of proportionality”. “If you are able to show the kind of data that in mobile telephony it (Aadhaar linkage) will help, it can happen. So mobile and bank accounts are two critical areas,” he said. The Supreme Court declared constitutional the government’s extraordinary attempt to give every resident a biometric ID.

economy stands,” he said. Expressing confidence in the robustness of Indian economy, the Finance Minister said the current situation is a “short-lived” phenomenon and won’t last indefinitely. Jaitley said India has huge avenues of growth over the next 10-20 years to sustain its high growth rate. “If you leave these two transient situations (oil and dollar), India has consistently acquired 7.5 (+/-) per cent growth rate, and we comfortably achieve that. In today’s global situation, that is the highest in the world. “With these factors over the next two decades, there is a lot of potential. India’s ability to maintain the present growth rate for a decade or two is reasonably certain,” he said. Jaitley hoped that India would never see the kind of “horrible” economic data as it existed in 2013, before the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) came to power. “CAD at that time was 4.7 per cent, fiscal deficit at 5.6 per cent and during the UPA II, the average inflation was around 10.4 per cent between 2009 and 2014. Hopefully, India would never have that kind of horrible data again,” he said.
New Delhi, Oct 6 (PTI): Finance Minister Arun Jaitley Saturday said a Parliament approved legislation can restore mandatory linking of biometric ID Aadhaar with mobile phones and bank accounts, but did not say if the government will bring a new law for the same. The Supreme Court had last month upheld the Constitutional validity of Aadhaar, the 12-digit biometric based unique identity number, but restricted its use by private entities like telecom operators for verifying identity of mobile phone user. Jaitley said the verdict was a “very sound judgment” as the court accepted that there is legitimate state aim in Aadhaar. “Aadhaar is not a citizenship card,” he said at the HT Leadership Summit here. “Because after all you have a system where you give a lot of government money in form of various support and subsidies to all kinds of people. That was the principle objective of Aadhaar.” The Supreme Court, he said, upheld most of what Aadhaar does. “What had not been upheld falls in two categories. One is the principle of proportionality that Aadhaar will help in these cases

New Delhi, Oct 6 (IANS): With current account deficit (CAD) still remaining a concern, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Saturday hinted at more steps to rein in the problem. “To bridge current account deficit and to bolster flow of funds into India, we are ready and have been gradually taking a lot of steps to deal with the situation... Depending on the situation as it proceeds, you will probably see more steps which are required,” he said at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit. He said the government has already taken a series of steps, including cutting its borrowings by Rs 70,000 crore, doing away with withholding tax on masala bonds for the moment and allowing oil marketing companies to raise funds worth $10 billion. Jaitley said the current account deficit is directly linked with global oil prices, which has been going up recording the highest level in the last four years, and is going to have some adverse impact. “We are trying our best to take measures to narrow it down. Some more steps are likely. But there are two

US, Japan will coordinate in N Korea talks: Pompeo
Mike Pompeo shakes hands with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Tokyo on Saturday. (AP/PTI)
Tokyo, Oct 6 (Agencies): US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Saturday he would coordinate closely with Japan during denuclearization talks with North Korea and promised to raise the issue of the abductions of Japanese citizens in his meetings in Pyongyang. “We will have a fully coordinated, unified view of how to proceed, which will be what is needed if it is going to be successful in denuclearizing North Korea,” Pompeo told Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Tokyo. “We will bring up the issue of the abductees as well,” he said. Abe thanked Pompeo, who arrived in Tokyo on Saturday, for coming to Japan before he meets North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un on Sunday. Pompeo also said Japan and the United States were in a position to finalise a trade agreement after Abe and US President Donald
Trump discussed the issue in New York last month. The two sides have agreed to start trade talks in an arrangement that, for now, protects Japanese automakers from further tariffs, seen as a major threat to the export-dependent economy. Trump is unhappy with Japan’s $69 billion trade surplus with the United States - nearly two-thirds of it from auto exports - and wants a bilateral agreement to address it. Despite Kim’s pledge to denuclearize the Korean peninsula, Japan, Washington’s key ally in Asia, still considers North Korea to be a “dire threat,” and is pushing ahead with plans to bolster its ballistic missile defenses with Aegis Ashore batteries that can target warheads in space. Tokyo also insists that North Korea give a full accounting of Japanese citizens it abducted to train as spies and return any who
are still alive before it agrees to normalise ties. A restoration of ties could lead to Japan releasing what could be billions of dollars of war reparations and economic assistance to its impoverished neighbour. Pompeo will travel to Seoul after leaving Pyongyang and will head to Beijing before returning to the United States on Monday. Speaking to a pool reporter en route to Tokyo, Pompeo said his aim in Pyongyang was “to make sure we understand what each side is truly trying to achieve.” He also said he hoped to be able to agree a “general date and location” for a second summit between Trump and Kim following their first meeting in Singapore in June. Pompeo’s last visit to North Korea failed to make progress. Recently, he angered North Korea by insisting that sanctions must remain in place until it gives up its nuclear weapons. On Wednesday, he said there was unanimous support for this at last week’s UN General Assembly, even if Russia and China “had some ideas about how we might begin to think about a time when it would be appropriate to reduce them.” He declined to say if he would agree to North Korea’s demand for a declaration to end the 1950-53 Korean War or to South Korea’s suggestion that he avoid pressing again for an inventory of Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons to break the stalemate.
Erdogan suggests referendum on Turkey’s EU bid Ankara, Oct 6 (Agencies): President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan has indicated that he could take his country to a referendum over its EU bid, which has been long-stalled. At the TRT World Forum, President Erdogan said, “If the European Union continues wasting Turkey’s time in its accession to the union, then the country could hold a referendum over its membership bid. “It is better to see this process faster, so that Turkey can determine its way. European countries hold referendums twice or thrice a year. One should get used to referendums,’’ he added. In a report published in Hrriyet Daily News, Mr Erdogan also asked for serious reform in the United Nations Security Council. Turkey’s accession talks began in 2005, but the negotiations stalled in 2007 due to objections from the Greek Cypriot administration on the divided island of Cyprus, as well as opposition from Germany and France. As of May 2016, a total of 16 chapters had been opened and one concluded. However, in December 2016, the member states said no new chapters would be opened. “We could not remain silent in the face of the injustice in our EU membership bid process and the double standards.’’ the President added.

They burned tires, waved Palestinian flags, and threw stones at the Israeli soldiers stationed on the border with the Gaza Strip. Eyewitnesses said that the soldiers fired tear gas, rubber bullets and live ammunition at the crowds of the protesters who were calling for ending the Israeli blockade. The demonstrators also cut parts of the barbed wire of the fence of the border, where some of them managed to infiltrate into Israel. They burned tires and returned to Gaza. Several masked activists released dozens of arson balloons during the protests, which landed into Israel and caused large fires to various farms and natural resorts, according to Israeli media reports.

Missing Interpol chief detained in China: report
Beijing, Oct 6 (PTI): Interpol President Meng Hongwei has been detained in China for questioning as part of an investigation against him, a media report said Saturday, a day after he was reported missing in his native country. Meng, 64, the first Chinese head of the international law enforcement agency headquartered in France, was "taken away" for questioning by discipline authorities "as soon as he landed in China" last week, Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post quoted a source as saying. It was not immediately clear why he is being inves-
tigated or exactly where he is being held. Meng, who is also a vice-minister at China's Ministry of Public Security, is under investigation in China, the Post reported amid mystery surrounding his disappearance after his wife reported to the French police that he had gone missing. The French police said on Friday that they have launched a probe for Meng after being contacted by his wife. Interpol, which is based in Lyon, said on Friday that it was aware of reports of Meng's "alleged disappearance” and that the issue
Meng Hongwei
was a matter for the relevant authorities in France and China. Meng was last seen in France on September 29, according to reports from France. So far neither the public security ministry nor the foreign ministry in China
has commented. Under China's supervision law, a suspect's family and employer must be notified within 24 hours of detention, except in cases where doing so would hinder an investigation. It appears Meng's wife was not informed. Reports quoted an unnamed French judicial official as saying that Meng arrived in China at the end of September but there had been no news of him since. Meng was appointed the head of Interpol in 2016. Interpol is the world's largest agency facilitating police cooperation with 192 member countries.

25th Wedding Anniversary
“silver” anniversary with its latest studio album that set new chart records and saw Gotthard play shows at a number of prestigious festivals, “Defrosted 2” showcases 22 of the band’s most iconic tracks as well as two brand new songs. Whether it’s 1992’s “Hush”, the gilded “Heaven” from 2000, the “comeback single” “Remember It’s Me” (issued after the tragic loss of original vocalist Steve Lee), the hard-rocking “Bang!” from the 2014 album of the same name, the tender “Beautiful” or the recent “Stay With Me”, “Defrosted 2” is a wellpaced journey through the years, including breathtaking solos, wild honky tonk interludes (“Sweet Little Rock ‘N’ Roller”) and sincere declarations of love. And if you think you’ve heard everything after the
wild trip through 25 years of classics, there are two new tracks on top. First, there’s the mighty ballad “What I Wouldn’t Give”, which tears everything down in a powerful wave of emotion, and the party hit “Bye Bye Caroline”, which is also the first single from “Defrosted 2”. Lyrically inspired by Status Quo’s 1973 hit “Caroline”, the live opener of the U.K. rockers for 25 years, the track was created with Francis Rossi himself, who was also involved in contributing guitar and duet vocals.

eleased in 1997, “Defrosted” was the very first live album released by the Swiss hard rock band Gotthard. To this day, it is seen as a cult milestone in the group’s career that helped establish Gotthard as the most successful band from Switzerland. For more than 25 years, Gotthard has thrived in the global spotlight with a career that includes 16 No. 1 albums, over three million records sold, multiple awards and over 2,000 shows all over the planet. And now, 21 years after “Defrosted”’s release, the circle is completed as Gotthard returns to Sony Switzerland and Nuclear Blast with “Defrosted 2”. An ultimate compilation of unplugged versions of Gotthard’s greatest hits, “Defrosted 2” was recorded this past March on the “Defrosted” tour. Even though the concept was the same as it was over 20 years ago — to capture the unique chemistry between the band and the fans — the circumstances that the band find themselves in are different. Both the band and their audience have grown, and yet after 25 years, it’s the same unparalleled intimacy that Gotthard brings to its live performances that makes this record what it is.

The 2006 gallery version featured spray paint and acrylic on canvas, mounted on a board. The true identity of the Bristol-born artist has never been officially revealed despite wide speculation. He rose to fame with graffiti that appeared on buildings across the UK, often marked by deeply satirical undertones. Two new artworks appeared at the Barbican Centre in central London in September 2017 inspired by an upcoming Jean-Michel Basquiat exhibition. Announcing the new artworks in a series of Instagram posts, the artist said: “Major new Basquiat show opens at the Barbican – a place that is normally very keen to clean any graffiti from its walls.” The work has since been protected by perspex panes. One of Banksy’s more elaborate jokes came just over three years ago when he opened Dismaland, a “family theme park unsuitable for small children”, on the seafront at Westonsuper-Mare. (TheGuardian)

anksy artwork self-destructs after selling at auction for £1m – video Banksy has played what could be one of the most audacious pranks in art history, arranging for one of his best-known works to self-destruct after being sold at auction for just over £1m. Girl With Balloon was the final item in an auction at Sotheby’s in London on Friday night and its sale price equalled the artist’s previous auction record of £1.04m. Shortly after the hammer came down on the item, however, the canvas began to pass through a shredder installed in the frame. Banksy posted an image on Instagram of the shredded work dangling from the bottom of the frame with the title “Going, going, gone … ” “It appears we just got Banksy-ed,” said Alex Branczik, Sotheby’s senior director and head of contemporary art in Europe. Sotheby’s said in a statement to the Financial Times: “We have talked with the successful purchaser who was surprised by the story. We are in discussion about next steps.” The auction house declined to reveal the identity of the buyer. It is unclear whether the

India crush West Indies in 1st Test
Indian players celebrate the wicket of West Indies batsman Devendra Bishoo during their first test cricket match, in Rajkot on Saturday. (PTI)
Rajkot, Oct 6 (IANS): India outclassed the West Indies by an innings and 272 runs in the first Test to take a 1-0 lead in the twomatch series. The visiting side failed to put up a show against the No.1 Test side as India dominated the entire contest and registered their biggest innings win at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium. After putting a massive 649/9 on the board, India rode on its disciplined bowling attack to skittle out West Indies for the second time within
two days. The visiting batsmen had no answer to the Indian bowling as they succumbed and fell for 181 and 196 runs in their first and second innings respectively. Resuming their first innings at 94/6 on Saturday, West Indies were all out after an hour and 10 minutes in the morning session. Roston Chase (53) and Keemo Paul (47) stitched together a 73-run stand. Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin ran through the tail, ending with 4/37 in
11 overs. Ashwin first removed Chase with a beauty, a flighted ball that turned in to create a big gap between bat and pad before crashing into the stumps. Number 10 and 11 were easy meat for Aswhin, who sent them back with the away turning ball. Asked to follow-on, the visitors lost skipper Kraigg Brathwaite (10) as Ashwin struck again as West Indies’ scorecard read 32/1. Later, chinaman Kuldeep Yadav ran through the West Indian middle

Caroline Wozniacki beats Wang Qiang to reach China Open final on Saturday.
Beijing, Oct 6 (Agencies): World number two Caroline Wozniacki beat Wang Qiang in straight sets to set up a China Open final against Latvia’s Anastasija Sevastova. Australian Open champion Wozniacki won 6-1 6-3 against the Chinese wildcard in 82 minutes in Beijing. Sevastova beat US Open champion Naomi Osaka 6-4 6-4. “I was focused and I stayed focused. She has been winning a lot of
matches recently and I knew it was going to be a very tough match,” said Wozniacki. Wozniacki took an early 2-0 lead before pulling further clear with another break to seal the first set in 37 minutes. The Dane also grabbed an early break at the start of the second, but this time Wang responded to lead 3-2. Wozniacki broke back for a 4-3 lead before wrapping up the win with another break of the Wang
serve. Earlier, Osaka missed out on becoming the first player in 2018 to reach three consecutive finals. World number 20 Sevastova claimed the solitary break in the first set to take a 5-3 lead before serving out the opener in 46 minutes. Sevastova broke again for a 4-2 lead in the second set against a visibly struggling Osaka, who was complaining of a back injury. The world number six briefly rallied after a medical timeout and drew level at 4-4 with a break of her own. But Sevastova reclaimed the break before sealing victory in 91 minutes on her first match point. “Naomi is one of the best players this year so you need to be aggressive and concentrate,” said Sevastova. “I am very happy to be in the final and it will be a good final and I hope we can play good tennis.”

Other than opener Kieran Powell, who showed some resistence with his knock 83 runs, no visiting batsman showed a fight and fell cheaply. After his fall, Ravindra Jadeja and Ashwin struck each to pack back Keemo Paul (15) and Devendra Bishoo (9) as West Indies were 185/8 when lunch was taken. In the third and final session, Jadeja dismissed Shannon Gabriel (4) and Sherman Lewis (4) as India registered a comfortable victory. Earlier, India rode on debutant opener Prithvi Shaw’s 134, skipper Virat Kohli’s 139 and Jadeja’s unbeaten 100 to put a huge 649/9 on board. The second and final Test of the series will be held from October 12 in Hyderabad.

Outclassed by the brilliance of Lionel Messi in midweek, Spurs were grateful for Cardiff ’s lack of firepower to ensure a lacklustre performance after Eric Dier’s early opener went unpunished. Toby Alderweireld cleared off the line from Josh Murphy and Hugo Lloris was forced into a fine save from Sean Morrison as Spurs failed to add to their advantage despite Joe Ralls’s red card half an hour from time. Mauricio Pochettino will no doubt now welcome a two-week break to get a number of injured stars back fit as the hosts were again missing Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen, Jan Vertonghen and Mousa

Dembele. All four were involved deep into the World Cup and despite a hangover from the exertions of many of Pochettino’s squad in Russia and the uncertainty over when the club’s new stadium will be completed, a return of six wins from their opening eight Premier League games matches Spurs’ best ever start to a campaign under the Argentine.
By contrast to their domestic form, Dier was one of three changes from a second straight Champions League defeat that leaves Pochettino’s men staring down the barrel of an early European exit. And he made an almost instant impact with his first goal since April 2017, slamming home an easy finish from close range on eight minutes after Davinson Sanchez’s blocked
header fell kindly into his path. Spurs, though, failed to build on that positive start and gave a Cardiff side still looking for their first win back in the top flight plenty of encouragement. Spurs should have put the game to bed before half-time as Lucas Moura turned Son Heungmin’s low cross wide from point-blank range before
the South Korean blazed over when clean through on goal. Harry Kane had bounced back to form with four goals in his last three games, but the England captain was kept largely quiet. Cardiff goalkeeper Neil Etheridge produced a good save to parry Kane’s header early in the second half before Lucas’s followup effort was brilliantly cleared off the line by Morrison. The visitors’ task was made even harder just before the hour mark when Ralls was shown a straight red card for a cynical lunge on Lucas. Yet, Cardiff could still have levelled when Morrison’s header was turned onto the post by Lloris and Alderweireld was again on hand to hack clear the danger.

FIFA suspends Sierra Leone FA
Z U R I CH , O c t 6 (Agencies): FIFA says it suspended Sierra Leone from international football because of government interference in how the national federation is run. FIFA acted on Friday, six days before Sierra Leone
is scheduled to play a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying game in Ghana. The intervention aims to protect the elected president Isha Johansen, a rare example of a woman heading a FIFA member federation, and her CEO-like
general secretary. FIFA asks that both officials “be allowed to access the SLFA premises without further delay to ensure that the operations of the SLFA, including FIFA-funded projects, are not jeopardized.”
