Truckers to go on strike from Monday KO L K ATA , O C T 7 (IANS): Calling for a 36hour nationwide strike starting from 8 a.m. on October 9, truck owners and operators on Saturday protested against the disruptive policies under Goods and Services Tax (GST) and demanded the inclusion of diesel in the new indirect tax’s ambit. “The post-GST scenario has critically impaired the transport trade.

The leadership of All India Motor Transport Congress (AIMTC) and other transport associations have proclaimed the two-day token nation-wide strike starting from 8 a.m. on October 9 (Monday) to 8 p.m. of October 10. We also support this,” Calcutta Goods Transport Association (CGTA) President Prabhat Kumar Mittal told reporters here.

He said there was utter confusion, chaos and disruption due to varied policies under GST that are imposed on the road transport sector. “The exorbitant increase in the diesel price and daily fluctuations are affecting the road transport sector. The diesel and tolls account for more than 70 per cent of operating cost of the truck, though diesel is out of GST.

54k petrol pumps to remain shut on Oct 13 MUMBAI, OCT 7 (IANS): Around 54,000 petrol pumps all over India will go on a day long strike on October 13 in support of their long-pending demands, a petrol pump operators association official said here on Saturday. Federation Of Maharashtra Petrol Dealers Association (Fampeda) President Uday Lodh said that a decision on the issue was taken at the first joint meeting of United Petroleum Front, an umbrella organization of three nationwide organisations of all petrol dealers.

The demands include implementation of the pending agreement signed with oil marketing companies on November 4, 2016, scrapping unfair penalties imposed under Marketing Discipline Guidelines, and approved but not given dealer margins. Besides, the UPF has expressed concern over the losses to both consumers and dealers over the daily changing prices of oil products and bringing petroleum products under GST, said Lodh. “As the first step, we shall stop buying and selling petrol/diesel at all the 54,000 pumps in the country on October 13.

If our demands are not accepted, then from October 27, we will launch an indefinite nationwide strike,” Lodh said.

This is it!

“Better stop dealing with any immigrant because you become their patron.”

Police can’t be a brute force: HM

MEERUT, OCT 7 (PTI): The 21st century police cannot be a “brute force” but will have to be a “civilised” unit, Home Minister Rajnath Singh said Saturday and asked the police personnel to be patient in dealing with challenging situations such as riots and protests.

The minister also urged the police forces, both under the Centre and the states, to use new technology and psychological solutions to “control and divert the minds” of the rampaging crowds during a protest or in a riots-like situation.

Singh made the remarks while addressing the personnel of the blue dungaree-donning Rapid Action Force (RAF) at their base here on the occasion of their silver jubilee (25th) anniversary. Singh urged the security personnel to keep an effective check on the incidents in which attempts are made to break the country on the lines of casteism, religion or regionalism.

“The police of the 21st century cannot be a brute force. It will have to be a civilised force. Patience and control has to be practised and followed by police

forces and the personnel on ground while dealing with hard and challenging situations like riots and protesting crowds.

“I understand sometimes police forces have to use slight force but in such situations too, prudence is required,” he said.

Singh said he has already asked the Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPRD) to look for “less-lethal” solutions to be used in policing tasks and crowd control.

The head of the country’s internal security mech-

DDGBA resolves to stop issuing RC DIMAPUR, OCT 7 (NPN): Concerned over the influx of illegal immigrants especially in Dimapur, the Dimapur District GB Association (DDGBA) on Saturday resolved to stop issuing Residential Certificate (RC) without the National Residential Certificate (NRC) and other necessary authentic documents.

In a press release, DDGBA president, Tokuho Sohoi, general secretary, Kenith Sopoe, and information secretary, Akhu Naga, said it was resolved at an emergency meeting held on October 7, 2017, which adopted five-point resolutions.

In the light of the above resolution, DDGBA has appealed to all the house owners to verify thoroughly or report to their respective GBs before keeping tenant in their houses.

granted an annual allowance of Rs 10,000 to get stitched uniforms and the practise of providing them readymade uniforms has been discontinued.

He said that he was “seriously” thinking about ways to ensure timely promotions to the about 10 lakh personnel of these forces.

He also took a dig at those who say that only taking a pledge does not transform the country.

“We took a pledge in 1942 and called it the ‘Quit India’ movement... we achieved independence in the next 5 years, that is in 1947. This is the power of determination and pledge,” Singh said. The minister asked the forces to contribute to the 2022 ‘new India’ vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The RAF is a specialised anti-riot and crowd control unit under the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and it was raised and made fully operational this day in 1992.

It has ten battalions (of about 10,000) based in various parts of the country in order to cut down response time to counter an incident of trouble.

At the meeting, the members also expressed the need to implement Inner Line Permit (ILP) in Dimapur like in other districts of Nagaland. It suggested that manning the entry gates namely New Field police gate, Burma camp police check post, Delai police check post besides Train station and Airport.

Further, DDGBA has also resolved to inform all the eight administrative units of DDGBA to strictly implement deputy commissioner (DC) directives to initiate action plan on suspected illegal immigrants.

Meanwhile, the meeting resolved to appeal the state government to take up initiative regarding the collapsed Bridge between Sohio village and Kuhuboto village, which was the only lifeline for the surrounding areas.~S

anism asked the forces to apply “minimum force” and obtain maximum results.

While lauding the efforts of the RAF, he said that five new battalions of the force will be made fully operational from January 1 next year. The RAF, at present, has ten operational battalions and they are based in ten cities that are regarded as sensitive from the communal and the security point of view.

The home minister also declared that personnel of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) will be

NPRAAF asks RD deptt to disclose details of MGNREGA scheme funds DIMAPUR, OCT 7 (NPN): Suggesting possibility of “a bigger and massive mismanagement going on” in the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) scheme, the Nagaland Public Rights Awareness and Action Forum (NPRAAF) on Saturday urged the Rural Development (RD) Department to reveal the details in public domain the release of MGNREGA funds for material and labour component in district wise, block wise and village wise and provide the total amount.

In an attempt to prove its allegations, the NPRAAF through its information & publicity cell cited disclosure of Nagaland State Village Development Board Association (NSVDBA) on August 22, 2017 in local dailies that the Centre had sanctioned Rs 501.51 crore under MGNREGA during 2016-17. NPRAAF stated that the state finance department (FD), expenditure ‘B’ branch had released all sanctioned amount by the Centre on four different occasions: June 16, 2016; July 11, 2016; September 22, 2016 and

October 7, 2016.

On July 27, 2016, NPRAAF said the FD also released Rs 40.95 crore being the 10% state matching share during 2016-17 thus totalling to Rs 542.48 crore (Rs 501.51 cr+Rs 40.95cr).

Again, on April 28, 2016, it said the FD released another amount of Rs 89.58 crore as a backlog of 2015-16 thus bringing the total amount released in 2016 to Rs 632.06 crore (Rs 542.48cr+Rs 89.58cr).

Further, NPRAAF said the FD on May 1, 2017 released Rs 597.68 crore under MGNREGA stating it to be “for liquidating pending liabilities of wages and materials during 2016-17” vide NO/EXPDR-B/42/201718/HY/257 with drawal authority No. 1 of 2016-17 under demand No. 42 – RD. On May 29, 2017, the FD released Rs 146.73 crore as 1st instalment of tranche 1 for implementation of MGNREGA during 2017-18.

Thus, NPRAAF said the FD released a total amount of Rs 1140.16 crore (Rs 542.48 + Rs 597.68) for MGNREGA for the year 2016-17.

It said that the amount of Rs 597.68 crore and Rs 146.73 was released out of Rs 744.41 crore sanctioned by the Centre dated April 10, 2017 to Nagaland government for implementation of MGNREGA for 2017-18 and liquidating the pending liabilities of wages and materials for 2016-17.

“What is shocking here is when the GoI sanctioned Rs 501.51 crore for 2016-17, how can liabilities for the same financial year be Rs 597.68 crore which is more than 100% of the sanctioned amount for implementation of MGNREGA,” said NPRAAF. Pointing out that the Centre also sanctioned Rs 5 crore (May 26, 2017) for implementation of MGNREGA for 2017-18, the NPRAAF said it was yet to be known whether the FD released the amount or not.

Another amount of Rs 69.99 crore (August 23, 2017), the NPRAAF said was sanctioned by the Centre towards “wages and material & admin cost for implementation of MGNREGA for 2017-18.”

State launches artificial insemination in pigs DVC reaffirms 2012 resolution demand and supply, he said it was the endeavour of the government to narrow down the import level to zero by 2025 and attain a status of self-sufficiency by 2026 and export surplus by 2030 as outlined in ‘Nagaland Vision 2030’.

Longkumer informed that Nagaland had imported pigs for consumption to the tune of Rs. 73 crores during 2016-17. This made the state government push piggery production as a thrust area for development. He said funds under state plan, CSS, NEC including credit linkages were also focused towards piggery development so as to enable piggery farmers and entrepreneurs to participate in its production.

Longkumer said that at present, they require about 3 lakhs quality piglets for rural piggery farmers but that, they are unable to achieve the requirement.

Staff Reporter DIMAPUR, OCT 7 (NPN): Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Services (AH&VS) department, sponsored by Tata Trust, on Saturday launched the “artificial insemination” (AI) in pigs.

Speaking at the programme as chief guest, parliamentary secretary, AH&VS, S. Chuba Longkumer said it was a long awaited programme after framing the ‘pig breeding policy’ in collaboration with International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), National Research Centre on Pig (NRCP) and department of AH&VS under the sponsorship of Tata trust.

Longkumer stated that it was another landmark of the department as rearing of pigs and its consumption was a part of the culture.

Taking note of the high consumption of pork in the state and the imbalance in

He also stated that if Prime Minister’s concept of doubling the farmers’ income by 2022 was to be achieved, the quantum of piglet to be produced within Nagaland needed to be increased by 2 to 3 folds.

In order to address all the shortcomings, Longkumer said Artificial Insemination was the only option for sustenance.

Every rural household rearing 1 to 2 pigs would have to be up-scaled to 4 to 5 pigs so that the state can achieve the targets within a particular time frame, he added. Longkumer hoped that with the usage of specific boar line they would be able to develop a known variety of Naga pigs having premium cuts, high productive and reproductive traits including efficient food conversion ratio, which in nature would create prospect of export as a part of Look East (Cont’d on p-8) Policy.

DIMAPUR, OCT 7 (NPN): Thetsumi Welfare Dimapur (TWD) on Saturday issued a rejoinder to the statement issued

by NSCN (K) finance secretary, Khumutsa Naga with regard to the September 18 incident at Kuda Cold storage.

In a press note, TWD chairman, Neitsolo Venuh and secretary, Keve Nuh said that the members held an emergency meeting on October 7 at Kuda Cold storage, 5th Mile Model Village wherein the house made several resolutions.

TWD said it welcomed and appreciated the finance secretary for claiming the responsibility on behalf of NSCN (K) for the September 18 incident. However, the claims that two NSCN (K) cadres were sent to meet the proprietor of Kuda Cold Storage in good faith seemed to differ, TWD said.

TWD said that the proprietor had received two information slips from the same government-- one issued June 1, 2017 (Cont’d on p-8) with a demand amount of Rs.

50000 and the second slip issued on June 3, 2017 with a demand Rs.250000.

When the NSCN (K) cadres came to the gate on September 18, TWD said the proprietor had informed them that he had received two information slips.

When he enquired which was the slip issued by them, TWD claimed that the cadres started to shout at the proprietor “just to shut up and took out the gun and fired it at a very close range at his face.” TWD said that “the allegation of having any evil motive was totally uncalled for, as the elderly businessman had been contributing to all the Naga Political Groups in his own capacity all these years.”

It also clarified that apart from some customers outside the gate, no other people were present, and the location of Cold Storage was at an isolated end of village. Therefore, TWD said “the question of raising alarm to victimize the cadres doesn’t arise.”

CMO Dimapur informs

Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Dimapur Dr. K.Vikato Kinimi has informed all parents to bring their children to immunization sites in their respective colonies/villages from October 9 to 15. CMO has urged upon all parents to immunize their children.

DIMAPUR: Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) president, K. Therie affirmed that the Congress party would offer the best solution to change the present situation, give hope for a better future, provide protection and deliver justice and equality.

He said Congress “will deliver the goods to the people and do right to all manners of people without fear or favour, if voted to power. If not, be in peace and do not be a slave of debt.”

Therie went on to state that “high interest loans are responsible for the deaf and dumb attitude of the State Assembly, to the calls of our people.”

Therie expressed dismay that even the Question

Hour during the NLA session had no questions, while the Assembly assembles for 15 minutes. “Corruption has ruined Nagaland.

They know better what we all know and suffer. People now worship corrupt money and not God. There is no fear of the voters’ voice. The greater concern is election debt. Their priority is high interest debt,” he added.

Therie maintained that many candidates, who have failed, lost their properties including their own residences. Despite all this, Therie said they are still pushed to arrange money and com-

pete with the looters. “Candidates are harmless prey.

Debt is responsible for the present deplorable life and situation,” he added.

Therie advised the candidates for the coming Assembly polls not to not borrow on high interest and lose their properties. “It has brought unforgettable, unbearable pain and death.

Many of the candidates’ families continue to live with unrecoverable injuries from election debts,” he stated.

“We are working to provide a welfare government for all. It has nothing to do with personal gain,”

he said. He further reminded that ministers were servants and not masters and that the MLAs were to represent the peoples’ voice not their personal voice.

NPF youth wing reacts to charges DIMAPUR: NPF central youth wing through its press & media cell has reacted to the allegation made by L. Yanlong Konyak and Wango Konyak against Home minister, Y. Patton recently.

Recalling the current NPF party crisis, the youth wing said “it was and is just a simple democratic process to change the party leadership within the NPF family members who holds the mandate of the people as well as the party men and women.”

However, the youth wing said it was unfortunate that the crisis had come to be “associated with the pursuit of self-interest to tarnish the good image of our leaders.”

It said the recent fictitious allegation by L. Yanlong Konyak and Wango Konyak against Patton had “deeply disheartened the peace loving Naga citizens, particularly the most honoured Angami community.”

This clearly indicated that Yanlong and Wango were still living under “veil of ignorance’ in both the spiritual and political perspective, the wing stated.

“Perhaps, it is important to ponder deep systematic and factual thinking before getting into political war so that one can polish one’s own opinion and argue

in an informed manner for the political integrity of the state,” it added.

While not the denying fact that every political party has the story of defeat, success and crisis to tell, similarly the youth wing said NPF as one of the oldest regional party in Nagaland had experienced the sweet and the bitter taste in the electoral politics since its inception. The youth wing condemned the “unscrupulous statement” made by Yanlong and Wango and appealed that if NPF party was for the Naga future- “give space to respect and honour our leaders instead of putting undesirable and nonfactual allegation against the leaders.” It reminded that the more the leaders name darkens, the more bleak the party’s future would hold.

Meanwhile, the youth wing acknowledged Y. Patton for taking the responsibility of being the Nagaland NPF youth wing ministerial in-charge. The youth wing assured that it would strengthened the party functioning’s under Patton’s able leadership.

The youth wing said it also strongly supported the dynamic leadership of chief minister T.R. Zeliang and Lok Sabha MP and NPF president, Neiphiu Rio in the forthcoming 2018 general election in Nagaland.

DH&FW has informed that 11 districts would be conducting the IMI campaign in areas which have been selected on the basis of poor routine immunization coverage with special focus on urban areas, hard to reach areas and areas with migratory population.

Learning from the experiences of past MI campaigns, DH&FW said it has taken a more proactive approach in ensuring better convergence with other line departments viz. Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) and Education Department which provided crucial support by creating awareness on the importance of immunization and generating demand.

Violence mars Manipur panchayat elections Tibetans are not demanding

People wait in queue to vote during the fifth general panchayat elections in Manipur on Saturday. (NP) Correspondent

IMPHAL, Oct 7: Atleast five persons were injured during the violence marred fifth panchayat general elections in Manipur on Saturday.

Two sustained rubber bullet injuries in police action to disperse rowdy mob while the others were injured during stone pelting

between supporters of rival candidates.

Voting began at 8 am across the six valley districts of Imphal East, Imphal West, Thoubal, Kakching, Bishnupur and Jiribam Saturday.

According to reports, the voting was peaceful in almost all the 1,521 polling stations to elect 60 Zilla Parishad Members,

161 Pradhans and 1,513 ward members. However, later in the afternoon violent clashes erupted after some attempted to capture ballot boxes. Ransacking of polling stations, clash between workers and firing by police at different places were reported from various places, particularly in Imphal East, Imphal West and Thoubal districts.

‘Govt will protect indigenous people’s interest’ G u wahat i , O c t 7 (PTI): Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal Saturday said that the government would protect the interest of indigenous people at all costs.

The state government would take all steps to ensure that indigenous people are not deprived of their land following the passage of State Capital Region Bill in the just concluded session of the Assam assembly, he said during a meeting with representatives of various organisations of Rabha Hasong Autonomous Council area. Necessary amendments would be made in

the Bill to allay the apprehensions of the indigenous people and safeguard their interests, he said.

The council chief executive member Tankeswar Rabha expressed concern that the state capital region would override the land rights of tribal people living in the fringes of Guwahati city which would be covered by it.

Land acquisition in tribal belt areas for expanding the capital would violate the rules of acquiring land in tribal belts and it would make the indigenous people lose the right of their land, Rabha said. The CM assured

that all steps would be taken to protect the land rights and asked the Rabha Hasong Autonomous Council organisations to submit their written complaints to the government.

The chief minister also urged the Rabha Hasong Autonomous Council to take advantage of its geographical location to usher in rapid development in the area.

The formation of State Capital Region would bring benefits to all sections of people living in the Council area and tribal belts would be developed keeping their cultural and social heritage intact, Sonowal said.

Tawang, Oct 7: Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu said that Tibetans are not demanding for Indian citizenship.

Noting that Tibetan refugee issue cannot be mixed with other Chakma-Hajong refugee issue, Khandu said that the Tibetan population in Arunachal Pradesh has decreased.

“The present population of Tibetans in Arunachal is around 7000, which is decreasing every year. Many Tibetan families are being offered jobs and settlement in developed countries and hence they are leaving their settlement camps,” he said.

The Chief Minister was addressing the 5th BJP State Executive Meeting that got underway in the local Kalawangpo Hallon Friday here.

Moreover, he said that basic facilities of water, electricity, roads, public distribution system supply were extended to Tibetan refugee settlement camps

“Some of us think we need to put this new structure in place well before the next Lok Sabha election.

We are all hopeful that he should take this decision and announce it. I hope it happens soon,” the former central minister said.

Noting that Rahul Gandhi was already part of the triumvirate - Congress President Sonia Gandhi, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and he (Rahul) as Vice President, Kurshid said: “He (Rahul) has something in his mind.

PM Modi targets Congress over its development record

after laying the foundation stone for a greenfield airport at Hirasar near temple town of Chotila in Surendranagar district.

“There is no substitute for development. Everybody, even a very poor person, wants development. If you ask any poor person if he wants a house, he would say yes. You cannot give houses to the poor without

development,” Modi said.

He was apparently alluding to the campaign mounted by the Congress and other opposition parties, especially on social media, rubbishing the Gujarat model of developmnent under the BJP rule.

Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi had recently castigated the Modi government over the Gujarat model of development, saying “vikas (development) has gone mad”, during his recent three-day campaign visit to the state.

“Did you ever think that Chotila would have an airport? Did people of Surendranagar ever think that an airport will be built here?” Modi asked the gathering.

“Should an airport be built here, will you people like it? Once airport is built, planes will fly from here.

Is it not development?”

Modi asked, and the crowd responded with a resounding “yes” . The state unit of the BJP has decided to take on the Congress’ aggressive ‘development has gone mad’ campaign with its slogan of ‘I am development’.

impose ideas such as ‘one language-one nation’, ‘one election-one nation’, and ‘one nation-one religion,” he alleged.

The CPI leader also alleged that the ongoing ‘Jana Raksha Yatra’ led by state BJP chief Kummanam Rajasekharaan was only to create communal tension in the state.

Flaying BJP president Amit Shah’s comment on ‘love jihad’ in the state, Rajendran said such remarks only aimed at tarnishing the image of Kerala at the national level.

Shah had said, “Love jihad is a dangerous trend.

The Kerala government has not taken effective steps to check it. The Supreme Court has already passed an order on it and the NIA is investigating it.”

Asked whether the Kerala Congress (M), led by former state minister K M Mani, would be invited to join the LDF, the CPI leader said no such discussion were underway.

S r i nag a r , O c t 7 (PTI): Union Minister of state for Home affairs Kiren Rijiju Saturday reviewed security situation in the Valley.

Rijiju, accompanied

by Special DG CRPF, S N Srivastava, and IG operations Kashmir Zulfiquar Hasan and local police officers, visited the headquarters of 116 Battalion CRPF, a CRPF spokesman said.

DIG (Ops) CRPF Anantnag, Mohsin Shahedi, briefed the minister and gave a power point presentation on security situation in Kashmir and achievements of security forces during last one year, the spokesman said.

Rijiju later addressed a Sainik Sammelan of CRPF jawans and lauded the efforts of CRPF in conducting numerous successful operations in the Valley in perfect coordination and synergy with police and Army and also maintaining a very difficult law and order situation in the face of grave provocation.

T h i ru va na nthapuram, Oct 7 (PTI): The CPI in Kerala Saturday said the party was not averse to joining hands with the Congress to take on the BJP. CPI state secretary Kannam Rajendran, however, said the stand on an electoral alliance would be clear only after its 23rd party congress next year.

The CPI is of the opinion that all democratic forces in the country, including the Congress, have to move together to fight the BJP and RSS, he told reporters here.

However, fighting elections is based on coalition politics and a decision on that could be arrived only after discussions, Rajendran said.

Asked if the Congress would be included in the Left parties’ fight, along with “democratic forces”, against the “Sangh Parivar policies”, the CPI leader said, the Congress is not an “untouchable”.

“The definition of development has changed.

Earlier, leaders used to install a hand pump and ask for vote in its name for three elections,” Modi said without naming the Congress.

Kannam Rajendran The party congress of both the CPI and the CPI(M) is scheduled to be held next year and a concrete stand on their electoral approach would be clear only after that, Rajendran said.

The CPI is the second largest partner in the the CPI(M)- led LDF government in Kerala.

Attacking the BJP government at the Centre over implementation of the GST, Rajendran said the slogan of ‘One tax-One nation’ has caused suffering to the people. “Similarly, they are unilaterally trying to

Draft Haj policy proposes abolishing Haj subsidy Mumbai, Oct 7 (PTI): Abolishing subsidy for Haj pilgrims and allowing women devotees above 45 to travel in a group of at least four without a male are some of the key highlights of a proposed Haj policy drafted by a committee appointed by the Centre, sources said.

The proposed Haj Policy 2018-22, by a panel headed by former secretary Afzal Amanullah, also recommends bringing down the number of embarkation points (EPs) from which pilgrims can take flights to Saudi Arabia from the present 21 to nine.

The draft was submitted to Union Minority Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi here today.

“The 2018 Haj pilgrimage will be in line with the new Haj policy. It is a better policy, looking at the facilities proposed. It will be a transparent, people-friendly policy. It will ensure safety and security of pilgrims,” Naqvi said. The policy has been drafted in light of a 2012 Supreme Court order asking the Centre to abolish the Haj subsidy gradually by 2022, sources in the ministry said. “The highlight of the policy is abolishing the subsidy. Besides, it proposes

another major reform -- of allowing women aged above 45 to undertake journey without male Mehram in a group of four,” a ministry source said.

Till now, women devotees could not travel without a male Mehram. The term Mehram refers to a male a woman cannot marry at anytime in her life (i.e. father, brother or son etc) Women aged below 45, however, will have to be accompanied by male Mehrams, according to the policy. It proposes to increase the quota for Mehrams from 200 to 500.

The cut in funds meant for subsidy will be used for educational empowerment and welfare of Muslims, a source in the ministry said.

The policy suggests sending pilgrims by ship, relatively less expensive than flights. The policy says the Saudi government will be consulted regarding Haj travel by ship and thereafter floating an EOI (expression of interest) to gauge the market for such travel.

According to the policy, the nine EPs will be Delhi, Lucknow, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Cochin. It also

proposes to build suitable Haj houses at these EPs “to which states and districts will be tagged properly”.

“EPs are being reduced keeping in mind ship journeys. It proposes inviting global expressions of interest from vessel owners having a capacity of 4,000 plus passengers... Even if 10 such trips are made to Saudi Arabia, 40,000 to 50,000 pil-

grims can easily be ferried,” the source added.

The proposed policy aims at rationalising distribution of the Haj quota between the Haj Committee of India and private tour operators in the ratio of 70:30 for the next five years.

It also stresses on breaking the cartel of contractors with a transparent bidding process.

Six drown after boat capsizes in Saryu river in UP Ba h r a i c h , O c t 7 (PTI): A boat capsized in Saryu river here Saturday morning drowning six people, including four children, District Magistrate Ajay Deep Singh said.

According to a press release issued in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has condoled the loss of lives in the incident and announced an ex gratia of Rs 2 lakh to the family of each deceased. The victims, residents of nearby Gopalpur and Behta villages, were returning after attending a fair in Ramgaon area when the boat capsized midstream, Singh said. There were nine people on the boat, of which three swam to safety, the DM said. All the bodies have been fished out and were being sent for post-mortem, Singh said, adding senior officials are present at the spot.

No more strikes in Darjeeling hills, says Binay Tamang Darjeeling, Oct 7 (PTI): Expelled Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) leader Binay Tamang Saturday said that no more strikes would be called in the Darjeeling hills as the recent three-and-a-half-month ‘bandh’ for a Gorkhaland state failed to yield results.

“We will take up programmes for Gorkhaland in a democratic way. We want to take up programmes which will be result-oriented,” Tamang, who was recently made the chairman of the Board of Administrators for Darjeeling hills by the West Bengal government, said.

The GJM had sponsored a 104-day ‘bandh’ in the hills for Gorkhaland.

It was called off on September 26 after an appeal

by Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh. “The bandh has yielded no result. Henceforth, there will be no more bandh in Darjeeling hills,”

Tamang said.

Public meetings will be organised at six places after Diwali, he said at an event to mark the 11th foundation day of the GJM. He also hoisted the party flag.

GJM supporters owing allegiance to Tamang removed GJM supremo Bimal Gurung’s photographs from the party office in Kalimpong and shouted slogans in favour of Tamang and Anit Thapa, who too had been expelled by the party.

Gurung, against whom a look out notice was issued by the state CID last month for instigating violence, rioting, killing, explosion and arson, has been hiding from the authorities.

Asked for his comments on the incident, GJM vice- president Kalyan Dewan told PTI that this was “very unfortunate as there are two factions in the party and this has created a confusion in it.”

Four held with scrapped notes of Rs 83.5 L face value Dahod, Oct 7 (PTI): Police Saturday detained four persons with demonetised currency notes of Rs 83.5 lakh face value from near Gamri village in Devgadh Baria tehsil of Dahod district.

Acting on a tip-off that four persons from Surat were carrying demonetised currency notes and were going towards Dahod in a SUV, Devgarh Baria police intercepted them near the village and recovered the money. Of the seized notes, 13,833 are of Rs 500 denomination, while 1,434 are of Rs 1,000 denomination, said Devgarh Baria police sub inspector Bariva Rabari.

Rabari said that the four persons have been identified as Pritesh Patel, Ketan Mehsuriya, Naresh Ahir, and Chirag Patel.

While three of them are from Surat, Chirag Patel is from Navsari, he said.

Govt wasted chance to put India on growth path: Cong

New Delhi, Oct 7 (PTI): The Congress Saturday accused the Modi government of wasting an opportunity to put India on the growth path through GST, saying it had “utterly failed” to address structural issues of the tax reform measure.

Congress communications in-charge Randeep Surjewala said GST, which should be a “good and simple tax” rather than a “grossly scary tax”, had failed to provide relief to the common man or to the farming and textile sectors, the biggest generators of employment in the country.

“While we welcome the interim relief to certain sections, the Modi government has utterly failed to address structural issues of GST reform through fair and transparent con-

sultations,” Surjewala told reporters. “GST should not become a ‘grossly scary tax’.

It should be a ‘good and simple tax’,” he said.

Labelling the government “amateurish and vision-less” and “drunk with arrogance”, he said it was wasting a golden opportunity to put India on a growth trajectory due to its “ineptitude and lack of comprehension of issues”.

The stark truth is that the Indian GST rate is now the highest in the world and the ‘one nation, one tax’ has become ‘one nation, seven taxes’ and more, the Con-

gress leader added.

Where was the real relief for the people, Surjewala asked, and added that people wanted substance, not soothing words.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP chief Amit Shah and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had “forgotten” to give relief to the common man and two biggest employment generators – the agriculture and textiles sectors, which are in serious trouble. “This mammoth opportunity is being lost due to sheer incompetence of a panic stricken Modi government driven by adhocism

and lost in chaos of its own making,” he said.

No relief has been given to the farmer and the agriculture sector, Surjewala added. He said all farm imputs and implements have been taxed heavily, including fertilizers, pesticides, and other agricultural implements like tractors, tyres and submersible pumps.

“Non-grant of any relief to this sector, which is the biggest employment generator, reflects inherent prejudice of Modi government, which exposes the anti-farmer stance of BJP,” he said.

Bottomless pits

hen Nagaland chief secretary Pankaj Kumar honestly apologised for the inconvenience and total discomfort due to the utterly deplorable roads to the visiting dignitaries at the recently concluded ‘4th North East Connect Summit’ in Kohima, it was an irony since it meant total helplessness to do anything about it. The deplorable road conditions in Nagaland has become as infamous as the road shows but political leaders and bureaucrats are not bothered since they have become totally insensitive. Some section of the Nagaland media had carried reports on how funds for particular project meant under roads and bridges were issued Drawal Authority (DA) twice by the finance department. For instance, around Rs.20 crore was drawn for the road stretch (2.5 kms) from Clock Tower Junction (City Tower) to DC (ADC) Court Junction without any work being done on the ground. Earlier, sections of the local media in Nagaland also published reports about money being drawn twice for the same projects under all the road and bridges divisions in the state. Later Nagaland Public Rights Awareness and Action Forum (NPRAAF), Against Corruption and Unabated Taxation (ACAUT) and Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) had brought out startling revelations on alleged irregularities in various departments by the finance department. Despite denials, the expose has clearly shown that there is a new and emerging trend of issuing ‘Double Drawal Authority (DDA)’ for the same projects which were sanctioned in the previous financial year(s). Whether this new phenomenon called DDA has indeed become a feature, needs to be verified and those organisations concerned with the spate of corruption need to also demand probe.

States with low transparency in the system are very less likely to obtain the approval for foreign funding. It was also learnt from reliable sources, that during the summit in Kohima, the state government had asked the Japanese government to at least do something for Nagaland by funding road projects. Of course, once the fund lands in Kohima, it will also go through the usual procedure to be eaten up/ diverted / siphoned by the money hungry functionaries through a maze of alibis and under various dubious heads of accounts.

It may be mentioned that roads and bridges have been given top priority by the BJP government at the centre and for which massive doses of funds were infused. After the disbandment of the erstwhile Planning Commission and replacement by NITI Aayog, all funds go directly to the state chief ministers who decide how to utilise the funds. This demands a great sense of accountability and transparency in financial matters. While the state government often bemoans its lack of resources for contributing its ten percent share for centrally funded projects, it is quite surprising that financial management continues to be terribly ad hoc and with no intent of utilising every paisa for the purpose provided. Funding for any other new projects which are economically viable may not be difficult in the light of the new thrust on Indo-Japan economic. However, when NHAI is funding highways and other arterial roads are funded by centre through various departments, it is yet not clear where the Japanese could be involved. Whether the apology for bad roads has washed off the stains of financial mismanagement is not known but certainly they will continue to be talked about.

DailyDevotion The Nature of Reconciliation He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. -2 Corinthians 5:21 Sin is a fundamental relationship- it is not wrong ~Idoing~I, but wrong ~Ibeing~I- it is deliberate and determined independence from God. The Christian faith bases everything on the extreme, self-confident nature of sin. Other faiths deal with ~Isins~I- the Bible alone deals with ~Isin~I. The first thing Jesus Christ confronted in people was the heredity of sin, and it is because we have ignored this in our presentation of the gospel that the message of the gospel has lost its sting and its explosive power.

The revealed truth of the Bible is not that Jesus Christ took on Himself our fleshly sins, but that He took on Himself the heredity of sin that no man can even touch. God made His own Son “to be sin” that He might make the sinner into a saint. It is revealed throughout the Bible that our Lord took on Himself the sin of the world through ~Iidentification with us~I, not through ~Isympathy for us~I. He deliberately took on His own shoulders, and endured in His own body, the complete, cumulative sin of the human race. “He made Him who knew no sin to be ~Isin for us~I…” and by so doing He placed salvation for the entire human race solely on the basis of redemption. Jesus Christ reconciled the human race, putting it back to where God designed it to be. And now anyone can experience that reconciliation, being brought into oneness with God, on the basis of what our Lord has done on the cross.

A man cannot redeem himself- redemption is the work of God, and is absolutely finished and complete.

And its application to individual people is a matter of their own.

Post-mortem

The pre-planned drama, part 3

A

ppointment of Shri T. R. Zeliang as Whip by the dissident Legislators was unconstitutional which was a serious breach of paragraph 2(1)(b) of the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution of India. The Speaker Mr. Imtiwabang giving recognition to such unconstitutional action was illegal. The Legislators voting for the confidence motion as per the illegal directives issued by the so called Whip was unconstitutional.

All these wrongs and unconstitutional actions put Mr. T.R. Zeliang to continue as Chief Minister till today. It was an imposition by force to enhance the interest of a particular political party led by two greedy Naga leaders. The Governor of Nagaland who is supposed to uphold the sanctity of the Constitution of India is backing all these unconstitutional actions. Under the circumstances, can we find any platform which can bring justice to the people of Nagaland ?

Of the three important organs of the Government, such as the Legislature, the Executive and the Judiciary, the complete separation of Judiciary in Nagaland is yet to be implemented fully due to the presence of strong attachment of the Nagas to their customary laws/courts, particularly in rural areas. But the Gauhati High Court of Kohima Bench does not covered by this limitation.

We have, therefore filed a writ petition in the Gauhati High Court of Kohima Bench on 21st July, 2017 on the issue of unconstitutional appointment of whip by the dissident Legislators who have no legal/constitutional power to do so. The case was admitted and the hearing took place on 24th July, 2017. The respondent asked for time and, therefore, the honorable Court had adjourned it for three weeks. The next hearing took place on 22nd August,

H

ow long will we tolerate them, their acts, their domination and their in-flow?

How long??? The discussion and debate for the negativity of harbouring Illegal Bangladeshi Immigrants (IBIs) have had enough by us. All the social sites like Facebook, WhatsApp etc. are trending with this topic but with zero action.

Taking advantage of our laziness and ignorance, those IBIs have started even to molest, harass and beat the locals fearlessly in open space. Not only domination of economy but they are also on the verge of competing political race with the local candidates, sooner or later. It is a well known fact that if given them a chance for involvement in an active politics, which they are doing under the wings of minority wing, we will then have no guts to deport them because the political bosses will shelter them internally for their political gain and there will be no one to raise a voice against the bosses because Nagas are scared to speak against elite people.

It is time, the right time for all likeminded Nagas to focus on the issue. We need strategy for long process/ run and not only for now.

People need deliberation to sweep those illegally immigrants immediately from our land. We should take break from all other issues and invest our time, energy and resources to solve the problem before it is too late.

If we can’t free ourselves from them, there will be no meaning of us protecting our rights today.

Why do we take on Tripura or Bodoland or others when our own state is already burning? The recent developments in our state developed by IBIs where an Angami family was beaten up in Chumukedima, raising of green flag in Dimapur, rape of our sister in Pughoboto and I’m sure there will be many

2017, but it was again adjourned for another one month. The next hearing was held on 21st Sept.

2017 but was again adjourned to 12th Oct. 2017. Three times adjournment comes to delay for 75 days; this might have been done as per the conventional practice of the court which laymen like me will not understand. The case has already been adjourned for the third time and it is hoped that further adjournment may not be done however strong the pressure may be from those agencies that involve in this drama.

While things are going on in this manner, I am very much encouraged to go through a newspaper report dated the 1st Oct, 2017 (Nagaland Post) on the speech delivered by eminent High Court Judge, Mr. L. S. Jamir in the 15th General Conference of the Nagaland Judicial Officers Association on 29th Sept. 2017 at Law Guest House, Dimapur. He said, “the integrity of a judicial officer was the most important aspect and that they have to maintain the highest degree of integrity so that there was no quarter of report of impropriety.”

He further advised the officers to avoid delays and deliver timely justice. I personally feel that this sane advice should have positive impact on the present case which is in the waiting.

During this intermittent period, the dissident Legislators also said that they have selected Mr. Neiphiu Rio as their ‘Interim President of NPF. They have made this decision from the State Banquet Hall. Same as in the case of appointment of Whip, the Legislators have no power to appoint a President/interim President or any office bearer. If necessary, they can only recommend to the Party. The election of office bearers can only be done in a General Convention

unreported news which are all an alarming signal. But are we still going to remain silent and be an observer of their actions and only condemn in social networks and press media and sell ourselves to the outsiders or to be truthful ourselves to the society for our generation and start working to save our land and our rights? The choice lies in you and me.

Today, they might have raised green flag with an excuse that it’s a part of their festival or so but tomorrow they may raise black & white flag to revolt against us for speaking against them. Therefore, it is now or never, we must start acting rather than preaching.

Remember, everyday their population is increasing drastically due to our selfishness, ego, ignorance and greediness.

All the shops are filled with non-Nagas, they are taxi drivers, and auto rides mainly non-locals, while rickshaws are only being operated by them. So what is left for us now? Just imagine how many taxis, autos, rickshaws and shops are available in Nagaland? Almost all are controlled by them.

Therefore, now it is time for us to be truthful for the sake of our land and generation. Let us answer the following points with utmost honesty.

1. To Government of Nagaland: What steps / measures the government has taken up to control the influx of IBIs in Nagaland?

Are the laws of the land implemented strictly?

2. To District Administration: Do you feel satisfied to accept Rs. 50-200 from IBIs to issue the document which is indirectly selling off the Nagaland? Where is your love and concern for our land? Can’t you see these IBIs raping, torturing, harassing your own brothers, sisters, fathers and relatives with the documents you have signed?

in a terminal year as per the provision of NPF constitution.

For election of Office bearers, it has to go through few mandatory processes. The matter has to be taken up first by the Central Office Bearers which will authorize the President to convene CEC meeting to decide date and venue for the General Convention. CEC has also to authorize the President to constitute ‘nomination board’ to nominate the candidates. After going through all these processes, the Nomination Board will nominate names and prepared the full list and place it before the CEC in its traditional meeting on the eve of the General Convention. When CEC endorses the proposal, the Nomination Board will place its nominated list before the General Convention and get it approved by voting. Votes are counted meticulously and recorded. When the General Convention approve the list, ‘pledge’ will be administered to them in front of the congregation and a dedicatory prayer will be pronounced by one senior church leader.

But without going through any of these mandatory procedures, the dissident group appointing or selecting an Interim President or a President is totally outside the framed rules and the Constitution of the Party. They know that they cannot own the party but their intention is to create confusion to buy time if they can get any further chance to play more mischief with their ill-gotten money. Their intention is not to own the symbol cock but to snatch it away and tear it if they can. But I assure the people of Nagaland that we will never allow them to do so. Very soon we will come to the people of Nagaland with new breed of politicians preferably from among refined young generation.

Scarcity of water at Kiphire hq

T

his Kiphire District was carved out from Tuensang District as a ninth district in state. The district is gifted with rich flora and fauna, whose rich biodiversity of the district is yet to be fully surveyed.

Though the district is blessed with various agroclimate condition, it enjoy south-east monsoon with average rainfall between 1500 mm to 1800 mm from the month of May to October and from November to April is a dry durations which clearly indicates a shortage of water for a considerable period and even the capacity of evapo-transpiration is at 1219 mm.

Its Headquarter is at Kiphire, which is at the latitude of 896.42 m (2,940 ft) above sea level, Where people of this district speaks nine different dialects apart from other Naga Burma dialects thought the tribes like Sangtam, Yimchunger and Sumi speaking dialects are common.

The name ‘Kiphire’ is a location of plateau coined after a place surrounded by a rivers and streams. Thus, the Kiphire HQ. is an aesthetic township of beautiful dialects that binds the bonds of her encircling rivers and streams it flows and bestowing upon the natural resources of the district. But, with all its rich natural resources, this Township called Green Town is now becoming a water scarcity township, where despite of all its potential water resources could not provide the most essential needs of whole.

It is often learnt that water scarcity are push into due to increasing of population, growing agricultural needs and rising standards of living. But here in Kiphire, it is observed that this

Let’s take a call

3. To Naga Politicians: What is your take? Political power or Naga future? Today you might be sheltering the IBIs for your vote bank but do remember that you are watering the poisonous plant. You may feel satisfied for 5 years when you are in chair but you never know what beholds you after 5 years. If you are so unlucky and unfortunate then you might not only lose your chair but also your children’s future and rights. So make the best and wise decision before it is too late.

4. To NPGs: Tell the Nagas, how many IBIs are sheltering in your camp?

How many IBIs are entrusted to collect the tax in the name of Naga nationalism?

What are the benefits of attaining sovereignty if we can’t protect our land from outsiders? Now, the real threat is from the illegal immigrants. Are you in a position to speak out against those IBIs and terminate all the services of IBIs that are in your faction?

5. To Students and other organisations: How far are you prepared to face this challenge? Or, only voicing against corruption is the agenda of your organisation? What are you doing when the outsiders are invading our land?

Didn’t we preach so much about Article 371A? This is seriously a big shame on our part to preach and teach others about our legitimate rights when we can’t do anything for exploiting our land, economy and culture.

So therefore, the need of the hour is to check the influx of IBIs in our respective jurisdiction. Let us take a break from politics and start working in the interest of general public which will have tremendous impact in our future because whatever we do today will be harvested by us tomorrow.

6. To Naga Parents/ Couple: Why different yardstick for Naga children? If you can get a Naga child for

domestic helpers/workers than why not opt for adoption? You keep Naga child as helpers whereas you adopt those Miyas as your child. Please stop adopting IBIs but rather adopt those Naga children you keep as helpers or workers in your home. This will make a big difference.

7. To Taxi/Auto/ Rickshaw/shop owners: In a very simple way, we have many youths who can drive your taxis, autos, rickshaws and look after your shops. Teach and educate those local youths if they don’t behave like you wish, instead of complaints after complaints. Give locals a chance and say no to IBIs. This sickness can’t heal in one go but it needs collective responsibility. So we need coordination and collaboration among us so that we win the war and eradicate this disease completely. The other districts and villages ought to learn from Mokokchung district and Jakhama village. It was AKM who first made a call to fight the outbreak of IBIs in their district and then followed by Jakhama Students union (JSU).

I strongly believe that we need to move together because those IBIs are migrating within Nagaland even if they are chased out from one place. This has to start from grassroot level and the village students’ body should play a vital role. I would like to share how the Yachem Students’ Union, Longleng (YSU) handle this issue.

The YSU have strong standing rules for nonlocals residing within its jurisdiction. The union execute them very seriously yet sincerely. The rule came into being after thorough deliberation and keeping in mind the future of the younger generation. All the concerned and responsible citizens came forward and contributed intellectually for the cause, and having

basic need scarcity is because of poor management of sufficient available water resources that are mismanaging due to lack of infrastructures of pipeline to the reservoirs, distribution system, no additional/new reservoirs are be constructed and manpower etc. Thus, this factors have severely affected the institutions like District Hospital, Schools, offices etc, where proper toilet, safe drinking water systems are beyond the Nationwide called of “Swachh Bharat” while the beauty of Township sanitation is the worse outlook.

Water is the foundation of life, where it also contributes in the growth of economic development, if its availabilities of products meet the quality needs of the people. But if it could not uphold the needs of the people, it is human nature that we value things only when it is scarce or are in short supply. As a consequence ‘scarcity creates value’. So, with this scarcity of water supply system in Kiphire, many individual privatize access have come up to facilitate the needs of the people, which is highly appreciating. However, people’s economy is at treat when its availability of products can lead for solution. Thus, such system shall only drain away people’s wealth after all every living things needs water for survival.

Therefore, the concern authorities looking upon the affairs should avail its service as per the availabilities of product for the welfare of the people in extending all the possible ways to ease the burden as every living being survival is depend upon water.

Justin Khatomong T, Kiphire Town

said that I feel that we can’t win the battle of IBIs until cooperation and coordination lead us because those immigrants have already dominated our economy and their population seems to increase rapidly day by day because of our insincerity and irresponsibility.

When we first started the operation to treat the diseases, to our surprise, except two out of more than 30 non-locals residing at our village engaged in different occupation has proper documents. Some were even without papers

and some couldn’t renew on time. So we have given them just two options: to renew or obtain proper documents or leave the village immediately. As a result of the resolution, now, the number in the village has decreased significantly.

If all village or tribal organisations/unions passed such resolutions then it may somehow help us to control the rise of illegal immigrants in our land. It is now or never.

Let’s take a call.

‘Together we build’ by sidelining imp stakeholders

Sir,

The ‘Colloquium on Road Connectivity’ under the theme ‘Together we Build’ organized by the Government of Nagaland on 10 October at Kohima is worth encouraging.

But when the discussion is going to be about road connectivity as being understood from the name of the meeting, why was the Department of Roads & Bridges not in the list among those invited? With roads and bridges collapsing everywhere in the State, the Department of R&B could have been in the must attendance list. Why only selected department when there are scores of departments that are equally an important part of the government?

How can we build anything together when important stakeholders and public organizations like Nagaland Tribes Council, NPRAAF, Survival Nagaland and churches like the Pentecostals are sidelined?

With the current issue of influx of illegal immigrants, organizations like Survival Nagaland could be an important component of the meeting. With organizations like NTC and NPRAAF fighting against irregularities in the government, the presence of these NGOs could also have been immense.

Even though the invitation has been extended by the CMO, such selective invitation reflects a different intention and creates doubt as to which organization is initiating such meeting behind the screen.

Is the government in collaboration with some NGOs trying to brainwash the selected NGOs that all is well in running the affairs of the government and that all allegations against the government are baseless? We must all build together comprehensively but not selectively.

Speaking on the “importance of AI in pigs in Nagaland”, joint director V&AH, Dr. David highlighted its multiple benefits such as relaxing economic problems, feeding issues, diseases and production setbacks. He said that the department hoped the piggery farmers would self-suffice once they have been boosted and educated.

“Nagaland rears more pigs as compared to other NE states and perhaps even more compared to the rest of India. Therefore, AI programmes should be appreciated and encouraged so as to boost the state in all areas”, he said.

Confederation of Associations on selection...

Nagaland. CoAs stated that as cited (in the table) the non-SCS has been deprived of the prescribed limit for selection into IAS despite the periodical review of the cadre strength. In the light of the above, the COAs stated that they have asked the government to recommend for allocation of two vacant posts arising from the retirement of inducted IAS officers and within the limits prescribed under Rules.

Meanwhile, the CoAs have acknowledged the state government for advertising the vacancy of one post vide P&AR department vacancy circular dated May 30, 2017 inviting eligible non-SCS officers for the select list 2016

they received.

NPRAAF cautioned that refusal to provide the details in public domain could compel it to approach appropriate authority to initiate CBI inquiry into the entire RD department.

It alleged that RD was not the only department involved in such irregularities but many other departments, in collaboration with the state FD, were actively involved in mismanagement of hundreds of crores of rupees “as published in local dailies from time to time by different NGOs and individuals.”

Meanwhile, NPRAAF has urged the Governor of the State and Centre to take note of such issues and take necessary steps as the “financial mismanagement by the Nagaland government in various departments is likely to run into thousands of crores of rupees meant for the public.”

Asked about the timing of the tax cuts announced by the the GST Council last evening, which mostly benefit the poll-bound Gujarat, Prasad said government has always been open to such changes in GST rates as it is not an “authoritarian government”.

“This is a massive tax reform implemented in such a large country. So, if there is need for changes, why not. The (Narendra) Modi government is not an authoritarian government. We are a pro-people government which listens to the people’s problems,” he said.

Buckling under pressure, just three months after the rollout, the GST Council last evening made sweeping changes to give relief to small and medium businesses on filing and payment

of taxes, eased rules for exporters and cut tax rates on as many as 27 items.

Businesses with annual turnover of up to Rs 1.5 crore, which constitute 90% of the taxpayer base but pay only 5-6% of total tax, have been allowed to file quarterly income returns and pay tax instead of the current provision of monthly filings.

Also, the tur nover threshold for businesses to avail of the composition scheme that allows them to pay 1-5% tax without going through tedious formalities, was raised to Rs 1 crore from current Rs 75 lakh.

“The GST Council has considered the implementation experience of the last three months and gave relief to small traders... Compliance burden of medium and small taxpayers in GST has been reduced,” Finance Minister Arun Jaitley told reporters after the 22nd meeting of the Council last evening.

The Council also cut tax rates on 27 common use items. Tax on unbranded namkeen, unbranded ayurvedic medicines, sliced dried mango and khakra has been cut to 5% from 12% while the same on manmade yarn is reduced from 18% to 12%.

said this decision will boost the overall sentiment in the trade.

“We welcome the decision to extend the provisions of PMLA from the present limit of Rs 50,000 to Rs 2,00,000 in the case of jewellery purchases,” he added.

ANMOL Jeweller y founder Ishu Datwani said its a big relief and the timing is right as it is just before Diwali.

India Bullion and Jewellers Association Ltd. (IBJA) Director and P N Gadgil Jewellers Chairman and Managing Director Saurabh Gadgil said the industry has been suffering since the industry came under the ambit of PMLA. “KYC for Rs 50,000 or over worth jewellery purchase was too low to attract PMLA. This is a positive step by the government and will be a big boost not only for the jewelers but also for the customers,” he added.

Director and former Chairman of GJF Sreedhar G V said business was suffering and witnessed lacklustre demand during the Navratras, however, the industry now can look forward to good business during Diwali.

KPMG India Partner, Indirect Tax, Harpreet Singh said this decision is definitely a good news for the sector.

(From p-1) TWD said “anybody could come to the site of incident and verify this claim, as the location of the cold storage cannot be changed at will.” While stating that “in good faith does not apply any arms and weapons, TWD also said “firing at the target from a point blank range cannot be considered as blank firing.”

Therefore, TWD said “Khumutsa Naga should own up all the responsibility for the incident and should come out with the reality in letter and spirit to the public, so that the real public harmony and peace can be restored in general.”

Gandhinagar, Oct 7 (PTI): Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad today tried to deflect the criticism arising from the steep fall in growth numbers, saying decline in GDP growth in Q1 is temporary and that the economy will bounce back in the second quarter as the macro fundamentals are strong.

Since the macro fundamentals of the economy are very strong, growth will definitely recover going forward, Prasad who heads the IT and law and justice ministries, said here.

“The GDP grew 7.5% in 2014-15, 8% in 2015-16 and 7.1% in 2016-17. Only in one quarter, that is the first quarter of the current fiscal, GDP growth was at 5.7%. I believe it will bounce back in the second quarter,” Prasad said.

Attributing the lower growth rates to the shake-up of the economy arising from GST rollout, he said, “when we build a bridge, we need to divert traffic, which leads to long queues of vehicles.

But that is temporary, as things get normalised once the bridge is opened.”

“Just like that, the GST is a new regime which led to a shake-up. But, since the fundamentals of our economy are strong, we

Mumbai, Oct 7 (PTI): Welcoming the Centre’s decision to remove the gems and jewellery dealers from purview of the reporting requirement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), the industry today termed it as a positive step which will boost the festive sales.

“This is a great news for the industry and we are thankful to the government for this decision. This is a positive step and will help boost the market sentiment.

We look forward to good business during festive season,” All India Gems and Jewellery Trade Federation (GJF) Chairman Nitin Khandelwal said here.

The government rolled back August 23 notification that notified dealers in precious metals, precious stones and other high value goods as persons carrying on designated business and professions under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002, last night.

Under the PMLA, every reporting entity is required to maintain record of all transactions of value exceeding Rs 10 lakh, all cross border wire transfers of more than Rs 5 lakh and all purchase and sale of immovable property of Rs 50 lakh or more.

Putin, who has dominated Russia’s political landscape for almost 18 years, is widely expected to run for what would be his fourth term in March.

Navalny hopes to run too, despite the central election commission declaring him ineligible due to a suspended prison sentence he says was politically-motivated. One of the protesters held a homemade poster of Putin sitting on a mountain of banknotes wearing a crown with the legend: “Happy Birthday you little thief!”

Others carried copies of the Russian constitution and posters citing their right to protest, some waved Russian flags, and a few carried

DRESDEN (GERMANY), OCT 7 (AGENCIES): German Chancellor Angela Merkel confirmed Saturday she would start talks with liberals and Greens to try to form a new coalition government after last month’s election, reports AFP. Merkel won a fourth term in the September 24 vote but the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) poached one million votes from her conservative bloc, leaving her without an obvious coalition to lead Europe’s largest economy.

She has already said she would seek exploratory talks on forming an alliance between her CDU/CSU bloc and two smaller parties, the pro-business Free Democrats (FDP) and the ecologist Greens.

Merkel said in a speech in the eastern city of Dresden on Saturday that the

negotiations would be “difficult”, but added: “I hope the coalition will fall into place.”

Such an alliance -which would be unprecedented in Germany at the national level -- has been dubbed the “Jamaica coalition” because the colours of the three parties match the black, yellow and green of the Caribbean country’s flag. The talks could start in earnest in the next few days but the formation of the government is not expected before the end of the year.

On Sunday, Merkel and leaders of her Christian Democratic Union (CDU) are due to meet in Berlin with their Bavarian allies the Christian Social Union (CSU) to agree on a joint programme for the next four years.

The CDU/CSU bloc scored 33 percent in the September vote, its worst outcome since 1949, while the Social Democrats, her junior partners for eight years, were crushed with just over 20 percent and vowed to go into opposition.

“It is clear that in the near future, the Social Democrats of the SPD are not able to govern at the national level,” Merkel said.

Medvedev called the allegations against him politically-motivated nonsense.

The size of Saturday’s Moscow rally and others across Russia looked more modest than Navalnybacked mass protests in March and June which were widely recognized to be some of the biggest since 2012.

A major rally was planned later on Saturday in Putin’s home town of St Petersburg. Many of the Moscow protesters were teenagers or in their twenties. Carrying a yellow duck, Ulugbek Apsapayev, 17, said he had turned up because he wanted a better future for Russia.

“The duck is a sign that we support Alexei Navalny who also wants only good things for the country.

But unfortunately we only have Vladimir Putin and his gang in power.” Putin remains popular across the country, especially outside major cities where his strong leadership style and tough foreign policy stance goes down well.

Government will continue to help Rohingya: Bangladesh PM DHAKA, OCT 7 (AGENCIES): Bangladesh’s Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said Saturday that her government would continue to support nearly 1 million Rohingya Muslims who have fled neighboring Myanmar to escape violence, reports AP. Hasina said the government was pursuing a plan to build temporary shelters for the Rohingya on an island with the help of international aid agencies whom she praised for their support.

She made the statement at Dhaka airport on her return from New York after attending the U.N. General Assembly session.

The U.N. has described the violence in Myanmar as “ethnic cleansing.”

Hasina accused Myanmar of creating tensions at the border, but said she has asked the country’s security forces to deal with the crisis “very carefully.”

“They pretended like they wanted a war,” she said. More than 500,000 Rohingya Muslims have crossed over to Bangladesh since late August, when Myanmar security forces responded to mili-

tant attacks with a broad crackdown that witnesses and rights groups say has included killing and arson. An equal number of Rohingya Muslims have previously fled Myanmar since 1978.

Myanmar doesn’t recognize the Rohingya as an ethnic group, instead insisting they are Bengali migrants from Bangladesh living illegally in the country.

Myanmar has come under international criticism for failing to stop the recent violence in its Rakhine state and in turn an exodus that has become the largest refugee crisis to hit Asia in decades.

The Myanmar government’s information committee said late Thursday that it had stopped 17,000 Rohingya from fleeing in just four days last week.

NAYPYIDAW, OCT 7 (IANS): The Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA), classified as a terrorist organisation by the Myanmar authorities, on Saturday said they are open to talks with the government.

ARSA rebels were behind an attack on multiple government posts in Myanmar’s Rakhine region in late August, that led to an ongoing military offensive in the region and resulted in the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Rohingyas.

“If at any stage, the Myanmar government is inclined to peace, then ARSA will welcome that inclination and reciprocate,” the group said in a statement released on social media.

ARSA also said the month-long ceasefire it declared in September to allow humanitarian assistance to reach the region will end on Monday and accused the Myanmar authorities of blocking aid from reaching Rakhine, Efe news reported.

Not to mention, Pollstar re-

ported earlier in the year that the tour was the most popular and highest grossing global tour of 2017 across the board.

Looking at the box score closely shows just how well the tour has been doing from a date-to-date basis.

Their highest grossing show was their July 30 concert in Minneapolis, Minn. The tour featured support from

Deftones, and surpassed over $5.5 million in sales for just one show alone, bringing in an attendance of 48,740. Other high grossing dates included one in Edmonton, Alberta which brought in 4.7 million and featured support from Our Lady Peace.

At the Edmonton show, Guns N’ Roses covered a James Brown classic,

‘I Got You (I Feel Good)’ as well as another song from Glen Campell. The tour isn’t stopping anytime soon, with the band set to perform in Newark, N.J. on October 12, and play two nights at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.

TURIN,Oct 7 (Agencies): Giorgio Chiellini’s first-half goal was cancelled out by Aleksandar Trajkovski as Italy struggled to a 1-1 draw against Macedonia in Turin on Friday, condemning the four-time champions to the World Cup play-offs.

Gian Piero Ventura’s side were jeered off the pitch at the Stadio Olympico after failing to secure the three points demanded against the modest Macedonians as Spain qualified as Group G winners after beating Albania 3-0.

Spain cruised to a 3-0 win over Albania on Friday to secure qualification for the World Cup and put Italy on a path for the playoffs.

The win allowed Spain to move five points clear in Group G above Italy, who are now assured of finishing second, while Albania’s slim hopes were extinguished.

Spain’s breakthrough came in the 16th minute when Rodrigo took Isco’s pass into the box off his chest, then scored his first international goal on the half-volley.

Isco got a goal himself in the 23rd minute by receiving Koke’s pass and spinning with one touch before shooting into the roof of the net, and four minutes later Thiago - Rodrigo’s cousin - also scored his first goal for Spain by heading in debutant Alvaro Odriozola’s cross.

U-17 WC: Brazil down Spain

Lincoln of Brazil is swamped by team mates after equalising against Spain during their U-17 World Cup match in Kochi on Saturday.

Kochi, Oct 7 (IANS): Brazil defeated Spain 2-1 in a Group D match of the FIFA U-17 World Cup football tournament at the Jawaharlal Nehru International Stadium here on Saturday.

Spain had taken the lead in the 5th minute through an own goal by Brazil’s Wesley. The South American champions however, recovered to strike back through Lincoln (25th) and Paulinho (45’+1).

Brazil, who have won this tournament thrice, now have three points from one match. Spain enjoyed the better start in the battle of the two title contenders

with Mohamed Moukhliss’ attempt from close range off a low cross from Ferran Torres taking a deflection off Wesley before finding the net.

Brazil gradually recovered from the early setback and started to put pressure on the Spanish defence.

They were rewarded for their efforts when Alan Souza dribbled into the Spanish penalty box from the right and produced a back pass which was parried by Spanish goalkeeper Alvaro Fernandez . Lincoln however, was on hand to tap home the rebound.

The South Americans

took the lead in the first half added time when Paulinho latched on to a fine through from Marcos Antonio before beating Fernandez with a rising finish.

It was an equal battle in the second half with both teams enjoying their fair share of chances. Spain’s best chance of the second half fell to Sergio Gomez in the 56th minute but Brazil goalkeeper Gabriel Brazao was equal to the challenge.

Germany grab late winner against Costa Rica

A late goal by substitute Noah Awuku lifted Germany to a 2-1 win over

Simona Halep to be new world No.1

Simona Halep is the new world No 1 after reaching the China Open final.

Beijing, Oct 7 (Agencies): Simona Halep will finally become women’s world No.1 tennis player on Monday after reaching the final of the China Open.

The Romanian has missed out on the chance to top the rankings twice this year. But, it was third time lucky as she beat Jelena Ostapenko 6-2 6-4 in the semi-finals in Beijing.

“It’s very emotional. I

think it’s the first time I cried on court,” Halep said.

“It’s amazing that I could do this. My team, everyone at home is watching and I want to thank everyone. It’s my special day.”

WTA CEO Steve Simon and tour president Micky Lawler presented Halep with a memento to mark her achievement after the match. Halep will dethrone Garbine Muguruza

early next week when the new rankings are released and becomes the third woman to take top spot since mid-July after short spells for the Spaniard and Czech Karolina Pliskova.

She will become the 25th player in WTA ranking history to claim top spot.

Halep would have had the honour in June had she beaten Ostapenko in the French Open final, but the Latvian sprang a surprise at Roland Garros.

She took her revenge in Tokyo, taking advantage of Ostapenko’s weak second serve with two breaks in the first set. Halep might have had a sense of deja vu when she found herself a set and a break up as that was the position of the French Open final when Ostapenko started a brilliant comeback.

The Latvian threatened it again, as she rallied to lead the second set 4-3, but Halep steeled herself and reeled off three successive games.

Costa Rica. Germany were more organised in attack and dominated play in halves, creating quite a few scoring opportunities. The European heavyweights scored through Jan-Fiete Arp (21st minute) and Awuku (89th).

They could have won by a bigger margin had it not been for some erratic shots in front of the goal.

Costa Rica, who defended for the major part of the game, pulled one back in the 64th minute through Andres Gomez. Costa Rica showed promise in the initial stages and came up with dangerous moves.

The Germans took time to settle down but once they did, there was no looking back, as they came up with swift counter moves from the flanks and took the lead in the 21st minute after missing a couple of chances. Like in the first half, Germany continued to attack in the second half with repeated forays. A swift move from the left saw Josue Abarca send a low cross into the box for Andres Gomez, who, from the centre of the box, beat German goalkeeper Luca Plogmann with a stiff grounder.

Germany scored the winner just before the final whistle when Awuku found the net after a defender failed to receive a cross from the right.

Lewis Hamilton romps to pole in Japan

SUZUKA, Oct 7 (Agencies): Lewis Hamilton struck a huge psychological blow in the Formula One title race Saturday with a sizzling qualifying drive to take pole position for the Japanese Grand Prix.

The Briton, who leads Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel by 34 points with five races left, steered his Mercedes to a track record of one minute, 27.319 seconds with Valtteri Bottas second fastest.

Vettel will join Ham-

ilton on the front row after Bottas incurred a five-place grid penalty for a gearbox change to his Mercedes on Friday.

“The car is crazy here,” said the triple world champion after his 71st career pole, and first at Suzuka.

“This track has always been one of the greatest and with this car it’s just mindblowing,” added Hamilton, looking to hit back after being stunned by Red Bull’s Max Verstappen in Malaysia

last weekend.

“With the downforce we now have it’s three seconds faster than before and it’s just insane speeds that this car is throwing us around inside. It’s incredible, my first pole position here -- 10th time lucky or whatever it is.”

A three-time winner of the Japanese Grand Prix, Hamilton fired a clear warning to Vettel, who realistically needs to win this weekend to revive his fading title

hopes. The German, who finished fourth in Malaysia after starting from last, set the tempo in Friday’s rainhit practice but was well off the pace in qualifying.

“I tried everything on that last lap as I knew I had to take a bit more risks,” said Vettel.

“I knew that we’d be on front row because of Valtteri’s penalty so I’m pretty happy.”

Daniel Ricciardo was fourth fastest, followed by Verstappen -- putting the two Red Bulls on the second row.

The Force India pair of Esteban Ocon and Sergio Perez start on row three with Bottas and the Williams of Felipe Massa behind them.

Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen qualified sixth quickest, has also been demoted five places after switching his gearbox following a shunt in Saturday’s practice.

There were more hairraising moments in qualifying as Bottas, who crashed in the morning’s free practice, almost lost control early on.

Romain Grosjean was less fortunate and smashed into a wall moments later, mangling his Haas machine.

Zverev qualifies for ATP World Tour Finals

London, Oct 7 (Agencies): Germany’s rising star Alexander Zverev has qualified for the ATP World Tour Finals at London’s O2 for the first time.

The 20-year-old German will be the youngest player to compete at the season-ending tournament since Juan Martin del Potro in 2008, a year before it moved to its current home at London’s O2 Arena.

Zverev has had a superb season, winning two titles, including Masters tournaments in Rome and Montreal, and climbing to number four in the rankings. He joins Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer in booking his place at the event, which begins on November 12, leaving five spots still up for grabs.

Zverev said, “It’s obviously a great event, playing in the O2 Arena is something amazing for any player. The atmosphere is amazing. I’ll be ready for it.

This shows me how well I played all over the season, how consistent I was and I think that’s something every player is very proud of.”

Zverev has also qualified for the inaugural Next Gen Finals in Milan the previous week and must now decide whether to play in both.
