FD tasks erring deptts on losses

Correspondent

KOHIMA, SEP 11 (NPN): Taking serious note of the loss of money due to penal interest because of the negligence of the Head of the Department (HoD) and Drawing and Disbursing Officer (DDO), finance department would be issuing show cause notice to some defaulting departments soon. Special Secretary (Finance) V Kezo informed this during the one-day workshop on National Pension Scheme (NPS) for HoDs and treasuries and sub-treasuries at the directorate of treasuries and account conference hall here Wednesday. Kezo said the state government along with the finance department, treasuries and AG were in the process of capturing data, little better than the previous data, adding that some anomalies in data have already been detected. He said by virtue of sitting in the chair of HoD, the officer must own responsibility to direct the subordinates to collect the treasury challan once the pay bill was passed.

KOHIMA, SEP 11 (NPN): State employees of District Rural Development Agency (DRDA), who had been on phase-wise agitation against non-payment of salary, have suspended their month-long stir after the state government released their salaries till July, 2019. One of the DRDA officials told Nagaland Post that DRDA offices in all the districts were likely to be opened from Thursday onwards. Even as the state government released some of the pending salaries, the aggrieved employees have served a two-month deadline on the state government to release the remaining two months pending salaries. Meanwhile, director of rural development, Imlimeren Jamir, has appealed to all the DRDA employees to call-off of the ongoing agitation. In a letter to all the DRDA project directors, Jamir stated that the government has released the salaries of all DRDA employees till the month of July, 2019 and the same has been transferred into their respective DRDA accounts on September 10.

NCD reaffirms stand against move to shift DC office DIMAPUR, SEP 11 (NPN): Naga Council Dimapur (NCD) executive meeting held on September 10, 2019 has resolved to re-affirm its earlier stand against the shifting of Deputy Commissioner (DC) office from Dimapur to Chumoukedima. In a press release, NCD president T Bangerloba and general secretary Thsapongkyu Sangtam said that the present DC office was “strategically located” and convenient for the general public. NCD maintained that the move to shift the public office would have negative impact on the lives of citizens of Dimapur. Further, NCD also opposed the use of new nomenclature “DC Chumoukedima Camp Dimapur”. Meanwhile, NCD expressed dismay over the locking up of PWD building due to non-clearance of pending bill by the government. In this regard, NCD has urged that the department to clear the pending bills at the earliest and secure the land and building as per chief secretary order published in local dailies on September 10, 2019 and immediately cancel all illegal government departmental land encroachers patta.

Kezo also reminded that the post they occupy was not an inherited property and said special audit were going on and erring officials will be summoned. He expressed regret that erring government officials do not feel remorse of losing the state government’s exchequer in terms of crores. The special secretary said that stubborn attitude of the HoDs and DDOs to address the problem of NPS was not less than a fraud to the state government. He urged them to have sense of responsibility and collect treasury challan every month so as to keep

the NPS up to date. Kezo also cautioned the treasury officers not to be in hand and gloves with the erring DTOs and HoDs. Reminding that HoDs were to perform duty and must have self esteem, Kezo urged the officers to put extra effort in delegating responsibility to the subordinate and staff in preparing correct bills and NPS and upload on time. He said such small measures would go a long way in improving the quality of accounting and smooth functioning of all the departments. Principal Director, Treasures and Accounts, RN Yanthan, said that

the main objective of the workshop was for HoDs to effectively implement the National Pension System in the state. He said it was embarrassing to see Nagaland in the last position in performance chart. He urged all the HoDs to be more responsible in the implementation of the schemes in their respective department. Power point presentation on implementation on NPS, status on NPS, Penal Interest, withdrawals and Filling of forms was given by O. Imliwati and S. Chichamo Odyuo Treasuries and Accounts Kohima and Presentation on eNPS by PIMS Cell (P&AR).

PAC urges state government to enact stringent criminal law DIMAPUR, SEP 11 (NPN): Pointing out loopholes in the judiciary system that allow criminals to get bail easily, the Public Action Committee (PAC) under the aegis of Naga Council Dimapur (NCD) has urged the state government to enact stringent criminal law, which would deter criminals. In a representation addressed to the state chief minister, PAC convenor Vekhosayi Nyekha and co-convenor K Ghokheto Chophy stated that while the executive forces perform their duties by apprehending criminals, the judiciary grants bail to the criminals without any difficulty. “This has greatly demoralized the Police forces (executive) to effectively and sincerely perform their duty,” the committee stated. PAC said perfor-

mance of the police was commendable, but due to lack of stringent laws to book and punish the criminals, the perpetrators and trouble makers were set free within a few days and lack of strict law have become a big encouragement to criminals to commit crimes without restrains. PAC has, therefore, maintained that in order to lighten the plight of the public, who were all affected directly and indirectly, the need to enact laws such as Maharastra Control of Organized Crime Act, 1999 and the Bihar Control of Crime Act, 1981, by state legislature was “felt ever more than before.” “Such an act is found most relevant in Dimapur where crime is high due to its metropolitan status...” PAC added. PAC expressed confi-

dence that the chief minister would seriously ponder on its request as “this will definitely bring change in containing all illegal tax collections and criminal activities…” PAC said it conducted a study on the ground realities prevailing in Dimapur and brought out a fact finding report, which it described as “appalling.” According to the committee, it was found that from the smallest product to the biggest, illegal tax was being collected at every point of transaction. It said a product from the entry point to godown to retail was illegally taxed, which triples the price of every product. The committee asserted that the living costs of the citizens have been greatly affected as there was no price regulation due to illegal tax collections.

Airfares set to rise 7-9% MUMBAI, SEP 11 (PTI): Air passengers are likely to shell out the highest fares for domestic travel this fiscal with the ticket prices expected to spike 7-9 per cent during the period because of limited capacity additions since the grounding of Jet Airways, rating agency Crisil Research said Wednesday. Crisil also forecast domestic passengers traffic to grow 6-8 per cent in FY20, as against a healthy 19 per cent growth registered in the year ended March 2019, on account of non-revival of Jet Airways. The 7-9 per cent expected the rise in airfares will be the highest since fiscal 2013, which had seen then Kingfisher Airlines going bust, it said. Crisil Research expects domestic passenger load factor (PLF) for the industry to remain flat at around 86 per cent in fiscal 2020.

7 rebel NPF MLAs withdraw from undated 2018 resolution Correspondent

KOHIMA, SEP 11 (NPN): An undated resolution containing a joint statement signed by all 26 Naga People’s Front (NPF) legislators in 2018 for the purpose of merger or coalition with other political parties in order to form a government, has stoked speculations especially after seven of them have declared withdrawal of their names and signatures appended. In a letter addressed to NPF party opposition leader T.R.Zeliang and copies of which were also forwarded to the Nagaland L e g i s l a t ive A s s e m b ly (NLA) speaker Vikho-u Yhoshü, NPF party president Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu and MP (Rajya Sabha) K.G. Kenye, the seven rebel NPF legislators-C. L.John, E.E.Pangteang, Eshak Konyak, Thongwang Konyak, Kejong Chang, B.S.Nganglang and Toyang Changkong Chang- stated that they were made to sign on the undated NPF legislature party resolution in 2018.

KOHIMA, SEP 11 (NPN): Nagaland joined the rest of the country in launching the “Swachhata Hi Seva” campaign — a cleanliness initiative — on Wednesday. Nagaland PHED minister Jacob Zhimomi launched the campaign as special guest at conference hall, deputy commissioner (DC) Kohima. Speaking at the launching programme, the minister said the development encompassed not only good building, road and bridges, but having clean and hygienic environment, clean household and sanitation system, which he said were integral part of the development.

Zhimomi stressed on the need to declare the urban areas as Open Defecation Free (ODF). The minister urged the responsible department to take the initiative to achieve this goal. He also sought cooperation of everyone for the success of the programme. Highlighting on the Swachhata Hi Seva (SHS) campaign, Thangi Mannen, convenor Zero Waste Himalaya Nagaland, in-

formed that SHS 2019 will run from September 11 to October 27, 2019 wherein a large scale awareness and mass mobilization of plastic waste collection would be undertaken. During this period, she said all the state/UTs would organize large scale citizen engagement activities for awareness generation and community mobilization through voluntary service of clean and green drives,

cleanliness pledges, cleanliness rallies etc in three phases. During phase I (from September 11 to October 1), there would be the predatory and awareness generation period. Phase II (October 2 marking the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi) would be marked with mass social voluntary work of plastic waste collection and phase III (from October 27) would be marked

when Naga political solution was at an advanced stage. When contacted, NPF president Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu confirmed he also received a copy of the letter signed by the seven MLAs but added there was nothing much to say over the matter. Dr.Liezietsu however regretted that though all seven were still party MLAs, they have been suspended and a petition for their disqualification has been moved. He also disclosed that the NPF legislature has reminded the Speaker to decide on the petition since it has been long delayed. Earlier, NPF legislature party leader T.R Zeliang rubbished the talks that NPF will merge with BJP adding there has been no such official discussion between the two parties so far. Zeliang informed that neither BJP nor NPF had contacted other over the matter though it could have figured as some personal level.

NSCN(I-M) slams those claiming to be stakeholders for Naga solution DIMAPUR, SEP 11 (NPN): NSCN(I-M) through its ministry of information and publicity(MIP) has hit out at what it described as “opportunists, deserters, opponents and detractors, who have never fought for the cause(Naga) have now started claiming their shares when solution is around.” In the statement, NSCN(I-M) posed several questions on those who, it said, were now claiming harvest but who did not labour for it. It asked whether they were faithful soldiers fighting against aggressor in the east, west, north or south and whether they were revolutionary patriots who suffered at the hands of the enemies and where were they when “national leaders” were mobilising support at the international arena? NSCN(I-M) also

They have therefore, declared that they have withdrawn their approval from the 2018 resolution and thus to treat the document as “null and void” while reaffirming to uphold the spirit and principle of regionalism. It may be recalled that the seven rebel NPF legislators had openly declared support to the People’s Democratic Alliance (PDA) consensus candidates of the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) during the Lok Sabha election and by election. The letter from the seven MLAs comes in the wake of speculations that the opposition leader was trying to either merge with BJP or convince BJP national leaders in forming an alternative coalition led by BJP as a major partner. Speaking to Nagaland Post, one of the NPF MLA said there was no official talk of merger or forming coalition government at the present stage so as not to create any “uncongenial environment” especially

with collection, segregation, transportation for recycling and disposal-leading to a plastic free Diwali. There would be a daily update of the progress of the SHS from all the districts, which will be uploaded in the government/ministry portal at sbm.gov.in/ shs2019, she informed. Mannen said these activities would require the participation of all government departments, organizations in both the state and district levels, urban and rural areas, NGOs, individuals, business communities, religious institutions, schools, colleges etc. In this regard, necessary directions would be issued by the government to all concern to ensure the active participation and involvement of all, in taking the state toward a plastic free Nagaland.

asked where were they when it entered into a cease fire agreement with the government of India and also when NSCN cadres spanned out to villages throughout Nagalim to reach people on all issues? Therefore, it asked on what basis were they now claiming to be stakeholders in the peace process? NSCN(I-M) also quoted Centre’s Interlocutor and present governor of Nagaland who had purportedly stated that solution for Nagas of Nagaland state was a “non issue.” It maintained the “NSCN represents Naga people and the national issue”. NSCN(I-M) also said this was recognised by then prime minister Narasimha Rao who said that it(NSCN) represented people and that “ the issue is with you and you have proved yourselves”. NSCN(I-M) also reiter-

ated that the ongoing talks was between government of India and NSCN as two entities and therefore, there was no question of stakeholders. It again quoted Ravi who purportedly stated that there would be only one talk and one solution while other groups could be accommodated in the framework agreement. It said that in response, Th.Muivah had said “ they are welcome if they want to be part of the framework agreement.” NSCN(I-M) reiterated that it would be a “horrible loss for both Nagas and the Indians” if they missed the second bus( for solution) and reaffirmed the framework agreement as the only meeting point between “ the war-ridden Indians and the Nagas” and also a uniting point for the divided Nagas.

States can reduce fines under new MVA: Gadkari NEW DELHI, SEP 11 (AGENCIES): The Centre has no objection on states bringing down penalties for traffic violation under the new Motor Vehicles Act, Union Minister of Road Transport and Highway Nitin Gadkari said. According to Economic Times, Gadkari said that states are free to make changes in penalties given the subject is the concurrent list. This comes as several states have objected to implementing the new Motor Vehicles Act in totality, which led penalties for traffic violations increase manifold from September 1. The Gujarat state government has slashed the new fines by up to 90%, citing humanitarian grounds. Tamil Nadu government has also decided to bring

down penalties under the new Act. Gadkari said that the idea to levy hefty fines was not to earn revenue but to discipline road users. “You have to understand, we have the highest rate of deaths due to traffic accidents in the world,” Gadkari told reporters on the sidelines of a press conference here on Wednesday. He said the government will not charge fines if people are more aware of the traffic rules and road safety. “The penalties are already part of the new (Motor Vehicles) Act, we are not going to change them. Even if the states are earning revenue from these penalties, it will go to their kitty, and come to the Centre,” Gadkari said. K Y M C

JCILPS threatens revival of people’s movement for ILPS Correspondent IMPHAL, Sep 11: Joint Committee on Inner Line Permit System (JCILPS) announced on Wednesday that it will revive its movement for implementation of Inner Line Permit System (ILPS) in Manipur. Stressing on the need for reviving the movement, newly elected convenor of JCILPS YK Dhiren slammed government of India for playing with the sentiment of the people of the state while strongly condemning the Centre for not giving assent to Manipur People Bill 2018. Manipur People Bill 2018 was passed by the Manipur Legislative Assembly in July 2018 to fulfil the long pending demand of putting in place legislation to regulate entry of migrants into the state. However, even after more than a year of passing, the bill is yet to be enforced as an Act pending assent from the President of India. After passing the bill, Manipur government submitted to the state Governor for her assent. She however referred it to the President where the bill is reportedly referred to the Union ministry of home affairs for examination. Dhiren alleged that Centre intentionally sidelined the bill even though they knew the sentiment of the people of the state. “If the Centre is concerned about the people of the state, the bill would get assent at the earliest. They intentionally delay in giving assent to the bill,” he said. In such a condition, there was the need for reviving people’s movement for people’s movement YK Dhiren who took over the charge convenor of JCILPS, said. Dhiren spoke to reporters after formally taking charge from outgoing convenor Yumnamcha Dilip at its office in Imphal today. K Y M C

erational head of the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks and Dawood Ibrahim, the Indian underworld don believed to be in Pakistan after masterminding the 1993 Mumbai bombings. These were the first designations announced by India after an existing law was amended to expand its reach to also cover individual and not just organisations. These four men have been on the US list of designated terrorists for a long time, along with their respective outfits (with the exception of Dawood Ibrahim, who doesn’t lead a well-defined group such as the LeT or JeM); and since past April, on the UN Security Council’s blacklist as well, with Azhar being the last addition as the result of a US-led effort to overcome years of resistance from

China, acting on behalf of Pakistan. The United States offered a resounding endorsement of the designation of four Pakistan-based terrorists by India. According to the Intelligence Bureau (IB) inputs, Pakistan has “secretly” released Jaish chief Masood Azhar to plan terror attack on India while other terror organisations were also working openly in the neighbouring nation. There were uncorroborated reports after the February 14 car bomb attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama that Pakistani agencies had taken Azhar into protective custody.

Asking people to shun single use plastic, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said the wanton use of plastic posed a hazard to the environment and had led to livestock and fish being killed. The prime minister sat on the floor with women who pick plastic from garbage and helped them sift through the waste, driving home a powerful message in his mission to end single use plastic. Modi, who is on a day’s visit to this Uttar Pradesh town, also launched the National Animal Disease Control Programme (NADCP) for eradicating foot and mouth disease (FMD) and brucellosis in livestock. With 100 per cent funding from the Central government till 2024, the Rs 12,652 crore NADCP programme aims at vaccinating over 500 million livestock, including

cattle, sheep, goats and pigs, against FMD. The programme has targeted vaccinating 36 million female bovine calves annually in its fight against brucellosis disease, a bacterial infection transmitted from animals to humans. The programme has two components -- controlling the diseases by 2025 and eradication by 2030. During his visit, Modi interacted with farmers and also launched the National Artificial Insemination Programme. As part of the “Swachhta Hi Seva” programme, the prime minister met 25 garbage workers. The women wore masks and a glove and responded to Modi’s questions on garbage generated from households and the amount of plastic in them. The women were honoured for their work.

Both the petitions of the senior Congress leader have been listed for hearing

on Thursday before Justice Suresh Kait. Chidambaram, 73, who was arrested on August 21 by the CBI, did not approach the trial court and directly filed the regular bail plea in the high court. He has sought bail saying that he is a law-abiding citizen having deep roots in the society and is not a flight risk and is willing to abide by all conditions as may be imposed by the high court while granting him the relief. “From a bare perusal of the remand applications, without admitting the allegations made therein, it is evident that the instant case is a documentary case.

Further, the petitioner is a respectable citizen and a former Union Minister of Finance and Union Minister of Home Affairs. The petitioner cannot and will not tamper with the documentary record of the instant case, which is currently in the safe and secure possession of the incumbent Government or the trial court,” said the plea, filed through advocate Arshdeep Singh. Challenging the order remanding him to judicial custody, the petition said: “Chidambaram is the political opponent of the party in power and it is a clear case of political vendetta wherein the decision taken by the members of the FIPB

unit and the FIPB board (consisting six secretaries of the government) and only approved by him in his capacity as the then finance minister, in relation to grant of FIPB approval for FDI in a company namely INX Media in 2008.” Chidambaram, a Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament, said: “The criminal proceedings against him are mala fide and borne out of political vendetta and the investigation agency is acting at the behest of the central government which wants to malign his untainted and impeccable reputation.” He said a bare perusal of trial court’s judicial custody remand order showed

that it has been passed as a matter of course and it has not appreciated that the liberty of an individual was involved. “The material on record shows that the investigation was over as far back as January 2019 when sanction was sought against him. “The investigation qua Chidambaram is over since he has already undergone the maximum permissible CBI/ police custody remand of 15 days,” the plea said. Grant of judicial custody remand on the basis of mere apprehensions of the CBI of tampering with evidence and influencing the witnesses is patently illegal, it said.

It also indicated that if the special judge needed more than 45 days to complete the proceedings, then it may consider the request. While transferring the cases related to the Unnao incident to Delhi, the Supreme Court had fixed a time limit of 45 days for the trial court to complete the proceedings. The apex court had earlier said it wanted “fair and speedy trial” in the cases arising out of the rape of the woman, when she was a minor, allegedly by now expelled BJP legislator Kuldeep Singh Sengar in Unnao in 2017. In July, a truck rammed into the car she was travelling in with some family members and her lawyer. Two of her aunts died in the road accident. She was airlifted from a hospital in Lucknow and brought to the AIIMS for better care as she to be critical.

MATHURA (UP), SEP 11 (AGENCIES): Terrorism has become a “global threat” and this “ideology” is deeply rooted and flourishing in Pakistan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today, recalling the horrific 9/11 twin tower terror attack in the US. “Now terrorism has become an ideology which is not confined to the boundary of any nation. This is a global problem and has become a global threat whose deep roots are situated in our neighbouring country and are flourishing there,” he said at “Swacchata Hi Seva” programme in Uttar Pradesh’s Mathura. Stressing the India has taken some bold steps against terrorism in the past and will continue to do so in future, PM Modi said: “The whole world needs to take a pledge and stand up against those who give shelter and training to the terrorist. India is very much capable of tackling the menace on its own.” Last week, India designated Pakistan-based terrorists - Jaish-e-Mohammad’s Masood Azhar; Lashkare-Taiba’s Hafiz Saeed, Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, the mastermind and op-

Contentious Amendment Bill

T

hree major partners of the BJP-led North East Democratic Alliance(NEDA)- Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio ( Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party), Meghalaya chief minister Conrad Sangma(National People’s Party) and Mizoram chief minister Zoramthanga(Mizo National Front)-have expressed opposition to the Citizen’s Amendment Bill(CAB) at the fourth conclave of NEDA in Guwahati. The fact that both Neiphiu Rio( Nagaland chief minister) and Conrad Sangma(Meghalaya chief minister)have openly expressed dissent over CAB may put the BJP on a slippery ground in the north east. Rio termed CAB as “highly controversial” and a potential threat on the demography of the north east. He reminded Shah that all north east states had earlier resolved to oppose the enactment of CAB. Meghalaya chief minister Conrad Sangma on the other hand, urged upon Shah to first take all north east states into confidence before attempting to push through its legislation. Sangma expressed apprehensions that CAB could open the doors for exodus of non-Muslim Bangladeshis. Sangma was apprehensive that CAB could affect the Sixth Schedule governing tribal areas under it. The issue of enactment of CAB is most significant in Assam where the nonMuslim immigrants were promised citizenship by the BJP. Mizoram chief minister Zoramthanga urged upon Shah to exclude the north east from the purview of CAB and even said that those supporting the “contentious bill” were on the “verge of suicide.” Zoramthanga maintained that CAB would have adverse impact on the north east which remains vulnerable. While espousing enactment of CAB, union home minister and BJP national president Amit Shah assured the states that their concerns were unfounded. While trying to drum up support for the controversial bill, Shah allayed fears that enactment of CAB would affect Article 371 and Inner Line Permit(ILP). He also emphasised the distinction between Article 370 pertaining to Jammu and Kashmir and Article 371( special status) on the ground that while Article 370 was a temporary provision, Article 371 is a permanent provision. Shah assured BJP’s north east partners that enactment of CAB wouldn’t affect the above provisions and for added emphasis, assured that the centre would take care of such concerns. The union home minister further emphasised that the Centre intends to expel all illegal immigrants not just from Assam but the entire country. The CAB proposes to set new terms to provide citizenship to Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists and Parsis from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Bill lapsed earlier this year after the BJP-led Centre did not table it in the Rajya Sabha. Now, the government wants to reintroduce the bill in Parliament. While both Assam Accord and NRC kept March 24, 1971, as the cut-off date for granting citizenship to foreigners, Shah had stated that CAB would have December 31, 2014, as the deadline. The Assam unit of the BJP has indicated that enactment of CAB would pave the way for the entry of Hindus from Bangladesh, who had been left out of the final National Register of Citizens (NRC) for Assam released in August. Most of the over 19 lakh left out of NRC are believed to be mostly Bangladeshi Hindus, a vote bank that BJP has been wooing. Whether the three chief ministers have accepted Shah’s assurances to their concerns remains to be seen but in the end the primary political objective of providing Indian citizenship to non-Muslims vis-a-vis the consequences of demographic changes appears to have won the day.

DailyDevotion Missionary Weapons (2)

If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. —John 13:14 Ministering in Everyday Opportunities. Ministering in everyday opportunities that surround us does not mean that we select our own surroundings— it means being God’s very special choice to be available for use in any of the seemingly random surroundings which He has engineered for us. The very character we exhibit in our present surroundings is an indication of what we will be like in other surroundings. The things Jesus did were the most menial of everyday tasks, and this is an indication that it takes all of God’s power in me to accomplish even the most common tasks in His way. Can I use a towel as He did? Towels, dishes, sandals, and all the other ordinary things in our lives reveal what we are made of more quickly than anything else. It takes God Almighty Incarnate in us to do the most menial duty as it ought to be done. Jesus said, “I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you” (John 13:15). Notice the kind of people that God brings around you, and you will be humiliated once you realize that this is actually His way of revealing to you the kind of person you have been to Him. Now He says we should exhibit to those around us exactly what He has exhibited to us. Do you find yourself responding by saying, “Oh, I will do all that once I’m out on the mission field”? Talking in this way is like trying to produce the weapons of war while in the trenches of the battlefield— you will be killed while trying to do it. We have to go the “second mile” with God (see Matthew 5:41). Yet some of us become worn out in the first ten steps. Then we say, “Well, I’ll just wait until I get closer to the next big crisis in my life.” But if we do not steadily minister in everyday opportunities, we will do nothing when the crisis comes.

Post-mortem

NSCN (I-M) statement on Passive smoking: Killing millions of people ‘Framework Agreement’ I

A

farmer usually works hard in the field in all weathers, braving chilling cool, torrential rains and heat of the sun in order to gather a big harvest. He invests his labor, energy and time in cutting the thorny and bushy jungle, cleaning the swamp land and ploughing the field before he sows seeds. He also takes all the necessary troubles in weeding the field so that he is rewarded with a rich harvest. But, sadly, when the harvest time comes, the thieves, the animals and the birds come to the field to claim their shares they have not labored for. Likewise, opportunists, deserters, opponents and detractors who have never fought for the cause have now started claiming their shares when solution is around. They are claiming the harvest they have not labored for. But the questions are - where were they when the faithful soldiers of the cause were fighting against the aggressors in the east, in the west, in the north and the south? Where were they when revolutionary patriots were horribly suffering persecutions in the cruel hands of the enemies? Where were they when national leaders were doing the works of mobilization in the international political arena? Where were they when NSCN entered into a cease-fire agreement with the GoI? Where were they when NSCN cadres moved from village to village covering four corners of Nagalim for reaching the peoples on all issues? On what basis are they claiming stakeholders in the peace process? Claiming a cease-fire agreement where

W

there is no fighting between the two parties and claiming talks with the aggressor where one has not built up a mass movement are all bizarre developments in history. On ‘Solution for Nagas of Nagaland state,’ Mr. RN. Ravi said, “That is a non-issue.” GoI is talking with NSCN because NSCN represents the issue of the Nagas that covers all Nagas and their territories. NSCN represents the Naga people and the national issue. In recognition of the hard realities, Mr. Narasimha Rao, the then Prime Minister of India stated, “You (NSCN) represent the people; the issue is with you and you have proved yourselves.” When our Ato Kilonser Mr. Th. Muivah told him to talk with the others also. He retold saying, “Why should I talk with them? The issue is not with them. They are in my hand.” We believe the Indian leaders keep their words. NSCN represents the Naga people including village chiefs, civil societies/organizations, political parties and the Churches whereas Government of India represents India including its states. The talk is between the Government of India (GoI) and the National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN) as two entities. And literally speaking, the question of stakeholders does not arise. However, the Interlocutor of the GoI Mr. RN. Ravi said, “There will be only one talk and one solution, but the other groups should also be accommodated in the Framework Agreement.” In response Mr. Th. Muivah said, “They are welcome if they want to be part of the ‘Framework Agreement.’

Response to DDADU

ith reference to your article published in Nagaland Post dated 23rd August 2019 I hereby clarify in regards to my RTI application replied by RTA and published in local dailies, and print media for the public concerned. I have filed a couple of RTI application regarding the Auto Rickshaw fare in Dimapur for the RTA guidelines and Orders, but they have never ever complied with the Regional Transport Authority and the drivers continuously practice daylight extortion to the commuters and my articles was published on 16th Feb 2015 under the head Suggestion For Streamlining Public Transport System. Again one of the concerned Senior citizen Rikhyo Kikon Lotha’s article was published on 2nd November 2015 under the head, “fitting electronic meter box” stating, that on 2nd Feb 2004 there was a meeting under the Chairmanship of H.Hetoi Chophi president DDADU for introducing electronic meter Boxes on all commercial taxi and auto rickshaw like other states across the country. “The D.C Dimapur said that the electronic meter box would be installed to all the taxis and auto rickshaw compulsorily. Those who do not comply by the standing orders would be penalised to the extent of cancellation of permit” But the order has not been complied till date even after lapses of 19 years. Again my articles were published on 24th January 2017 and 11th April 2017 on the headline “Grievances of Auto Rickshaw Passengers in Dimapur District”, in Nagaland post and Eastern Mirror respectively. Due to weak administration regarding the Auto Rickshaw plying in Dimapur District, the Auto Union has taken advantages upon the commuters, even in ‘No Parking zone’ parked by Auto and violation of traffic rules, during traffic congestion, negligent driving, Exorbitant charges of

It will be a horrible loss for both the Nagas and the Indians if they miss this second bus. No one should doubt that Framework Agreement is the meeting point for the Nagas and the Indians. The Nagas and the Indians are inseparably interrelated in many fields. We must learn to co-exist for mutual benefits. The Nagas will not merge into the Union of India, but they will co-exist with the Union of India as two entities. Nagas are a recognized entity. Nagas do not accept Indian constitution, but Nagas and Indians will share sovereign powers based on competencies. The good Lord has open the door for the Nagas. We must seize the opportunity when it comes. It is said, “To every problem there is a solution.” We must explore every possible way to finding the long-cherished solution. It will be a great loss for both the parties in terms of time, labor, money and life if we miss this turn of opportunity. The ‘Framework Agreement’ officially signed and sealed between the GoI and NSCN is the meeting point for the war-ridden Indians and the Nagas on the one hand and the uniting point for the divided Nagas on the other. It is pertinent to recall the statement of late Mr. Isak Chishi Swu where he says, “We have forgiven the past mistakes of our brothers in different camps. They should also forgive our past mistakes and unite in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” All Nagas unite! God Bless Nagalim for Christ! K U K N A L I M! Issued by MIP

was sitting in a Railway Station at Dimapur waiting a train for travelling. Some people were sitting around and smoking. I started coughing with the effect of smoking. I forbade them not to smoke but in spite of stopping smoking they made fun and laughed at me saying, “Nothing will happen. Smoke will not infiltrate to your nose and not affect you.” However, what manages to escape my attention is the nonsmoker who might have to bear the brunt, just because he happens to be in the vicinity of a smoker. This is sheer ignorance of the people. If one can smell tobacco around, it implies that the chemicals present in tobacco are entering into body of the people sitting around and causing harm to them. It is called passive smoking. Passive smoking is the unintentional inhalation of smoke in the air or contact with its chemical constituents emerging from the burning end of a cigarette, bidi or any other means, and also the smoke breathed out by smokers. According to a Study, despite India’s regulation on public smoking, 30% adults are found exposed to second hand tobacco smoke at work Passive smoking can harm your body because the smoke released in the air contains more than 4,000 chemicals, many of which are irritants and toxins. Smoke can stay in the air for up to 2.5 hours, even with a window open. Passive smoking has several subtle as well as overt pulmonary effects. It is an established risk factor for lung cancer in non-smoking persons. It is a significant risk factor for the respiratory symptoms and asthma in children. It is associated with an increased morbidity from asthma in adults, which is difficult to control. Passive smoking can also lead to a poor lung function, small airway dysfunction, and increased bronchial hyper-responsiveness in asymptomatic non-smokers. According to the World Health Organization, at least 8 million people worldwide die every year from health effects related to smoking, including 1 million from second hand smoke. Victims of second-hand smoke include more than 60,000 children younger than 5 who die of

respiratory infection. Today, 30.2% Indian adults are exposed to passive smoking at their workplaces. 266.8 m current tobacco users and a substantial number of people exposed to second-hand smoke are at increased risk of CVDs (cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) Second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure is a significant problem in India, at both indoor and outdoor. A study has shown that 70% to 80% of the male smokers regularly smoked in home; 3 in every 10 adults working indoor are exposed to SHS. About 23% of adults have reported SHS exposure at public places. In NFHS-3, 25% women reported SHS exposure at home. Second-hand smoke exposure has a bearing to be future smokers. Although smoke free policies are becoming widespread and there is concomitant downward trend in SHS exposed at work places, especially the organised sectors with warning boards displayed. In home, SHS exposure remains high especially among children. Third hand smoke: There is also the risk of third-hand smoke, i.e. harmful toxins of tobacco that remain behind on the walls, clothes, hair, toys and upholstery in public places, or in places where people have previously smoked and left. The dose and exposure to second-hand smoke is higher at public places such as hotels, clubs, bars or restaurants. Children are at increased risk, when exposed to thirdhand smoke (THS) toxicants due to their exploratory behaviour and metabolic activity. Dust ingestion was identified as the dominant (80% of the total intake) source of exposure to indoor semivolatile environmental pollutants in toddlers. This is of enormous importance in India as houses especially in urban slums are compact with poor ventilation. Nicotine is the main component in THS. Oxidants in the tobacco smoke cause local and systemic inflammation. Third hand smoke causes significant DNA damage in human cells. Small children are particularly vulnerable as they are exposed to THS/toxicants via inhalation, ingestion, and dermal contact. And also, there is increased risk of cancer in children (1-16 years).

Amit Shah appeals to people to Chandrababu, son put under house arrest nominate achievers for Padma awards

AMARAVATI, SEP 11 (PTI): Telugu Desam president N Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday made a vain bid to venture out of his house at Undavalli here to proceed to Palnadu region in Guntur district as part of his ‘Chalo Atmakuru’ call against alleged eviction of some villagers. Andhra Pradesh Director General of Police D Gautam Sawang issued a statement, through the Chief Minister’s Office, that Naidu was taken into “preventive custody” as “his actions are increasing tensions and creating disturbance to law and order in the Palnadu region of Guntur district.” A large contingent of police, including several DSPs, tied the main entrance gate of Naidu’s riverfront residence with ropes and also shut other gates to prevent him from coming out. Talking to reporters inside the compound, the former Chief Minister termed the police action as “atrocious” and “unprecedented in history.” “The situation is horrible. Many of our party

leaders, including MPs and MLAs, have been taken into custody at various places. Several others were kept under house arrest. All this held mirror to the nefarious mentality of the ruler (Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy),” Naidu remarked. The Leader of Opposition announced that he would not give up and certainly undertake the Atmakuru visit whenever police allowed him. Alleging that about 120 Scheduled Caste families have been driven out of their village by the YSR Congress and police, he said, “they are taking shelter in a camp organised by the TDP. I

wanted to take them back to the village and ensure that everyone there lived in harmony.” “I will see how long they will keep me under house arrest. I will not be cowed down. I will stand by the victims and fight for their rights,” Naidu asserted. Countering the TDP chief ’s claims, state Animal Husbandry Minister Mopidevi Venkata Ramana said Naidu was indulging in “shameless politics” by using “paid artists” as victims. “For five years, people of Palnadu region faced repression at the hands of the then Speaker Kodela Sivaprasada Rao and Gu-

razala MLA Y Srinivasa Rao. What did Naidu do then? Palnadu is now peaceful after Jagan Mohan Reddy became Chief Minister,” Ramana pointed out. The day began with police laying seige to the TDP president’s residence on the Krishna river bank. Both Naidu and his son Lokesh were not allowed to come out, following which the latter picked up an argument with the police officials. Vijayawada MP Kesineni Srinivas (Nani) and Rajya Sabha member K Ravindra Kumar were detained by the police on the Prakasam Barrage as they tried to proceed towards Naidu’s house. Telugu Desam Deputy Leader K Atchannaidu, who managed to reach Naidu’s residence area on a twowheeler, was stopped from going in and later taken into custody. In Vijayawada city, police barged into the five-star hotel room, where former minister Bhuma Akhila Priya was staying, and took her into custody. Several other leaders

were either placed under house arrest or taken into custody by police. Simultaneously, some leaders of the ruling YSR Congress were also detained in Guntur as they too gave a call for a similar programme as a counter to the TDP. The TDP chief wanted to lead a group of people belonging to Palnadu region of Guntur district to a village called Atmakuru. “I have planned to go to Atmakuru to drop the villagers who were driven out by YSRC men and police back in their village. This is not an agitation but solidarity with the people who are victims of political factionism,” Naidu said. Alleging that the TDP was only seeking to create a scene using “paid artists,” the YSRC too gave a call for ‘Chalo Atmakuru’ but police denied permission to both sides and clamped prohibitory orders under Section 144 Cr P C. A large police force has been deployed in Atmakuru and also in Palnadu region to prevent untoward incidents.

Patil won from Indapur assembly seat in 1995 as an independent and served as a minister of state for agriculture in the Shiv Sena-BJP alliance government during 1995-99. He won the next two elections as independent but backed the CongressNCP alliance government. In 2009, he contested and won on Congress ticket. All through he was a minister. Speaking after joining the BJP, Patil said, in a veiled attack on the NCP leadership, that his former constituency -- which is adjacent to Baramati, Sharad Pawar’s bastion, had faced injustice. “I hope you (Fadnavis) will support us in our fight against the injustice,” he said. “One can choose one’s friends and foes but not neighbour. There are some issues with our neighbours which need to be addressed,” he said, seeking the chief minister’s intervention for increasing water supply to Indapur tehsil.

MUMBAI, SEP 11 (PTI): Congress leader and former Maharashtra minister Harshavardhan Patil joined the BJP on Wednesday. Patil, 56, joined the saffron party at an event in south Mumbai in the presence of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who said he had been waiting for Patil to cross over for the last five years. Fadnavis also indicated that Patil will be the BJP’s candidate from Indapur Assembly seat in Pune district in the elections next month. Patil’s exit is the second major blow to the Congress in the state. Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil, another senior leader, left the party after the Lok Sabha polls and became a cabinet minister in the Fadnavis government. Patil, four-time MLA from Indapur, had lost the 2014 Assembly election by a slender margin to the Nationalist Congress Party’s (NCP) Dattatrey Bharne. The Congress and NCP had contested the 2014 elections separately.

The group is facing troubles across all its segments and brands due to a global sales slowdown. While Tata Motors commercial vehicles (CV) and passenger vehicles (PV) sales have declined due to a demand slowdown in India, JLR is suffering slowing sales in its key markets of China and Europe. Uncertainty due to a no-deal Brexit is also weighing on the business prospects of the British brand. Global wholesale of PVs declined by 22% to 47,098 units while for CVs the decline was much steeper at 45% to 25,366 units, the company informed in an exchange filing.

Guwahati , Sep 11 (PTI): Millennials opting for ride hailing services like Ola and Uber may not be that strong a factor for the current slowdown in auto sales and a detailed study is needed to arrive at any conclusion in the contrary, according to a top official of the country’s largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki India (MSI). Ownership pattern in India still has not changed and people purchase cars with an “aspirational aspect”, MSI Executive Director (Marketing and Sales) Shashank Srivastava told PTI in an interview here. On Tuesday, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had said change in

According to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), domestic vehicle sales in August declined by 23.55 per cent to 18,21,490 units from 23,82,436 units in the same month last year. From April to August period, the sales have fallen by 15.89 per cent to 97,32,040 units from 1,15,70,401 units in the year-ago period, SIAM had said. Srivastava said MSI has launched new versions of its various product range and the company is hopeful of some positive results during the forthcoming festive season. When asked if the company regrets the lukewarm response from the government in handling the situation and absence of any stimulus package, Srivastava said: “The government knows the exact situation. I believe they have to take care of the entire economy. I am sure they will do the best for the economy and the industry.” MSI’s domestic sales in August dipped by 34.3 per cent to 97,061 units from 1,47,700 units in the same month last year.

the downturn became so severe? I do not think it is only because of Ola and Uber,” Srivastava said. He gave the example of the US market, where Uber is a big player and the car sales in the last few years are robust. “India, 46 per cent of the car buyers are first time users. It is an aspirational behaviour. People may use public transport like Ola and Uber to go to offices on weekdays, but still they buy a vehicle for the weekend outings with the family,” Srivastava explained. “The pattern of ownership in India has not changed yet. We have to watch on a longer period to see if there is a structural change in buying pattern,” he added. Srivastava said there are many reasons for this downtur n in the auto market such as liquidity crunch, increased prices of products due to regulatory issues, higher taxes and rise in insurance rates. He also said the government’s measures announced last month to tackle the slowdown is not sufficient and those are helpful for long term health of the industry as they basically addressed

US lists 12 persons as Global Terrorists

New Delhi, Sep 11 (IANS): The US has designated 12 persons, including the chief of the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Noor Wali Mehsud, as global terrorists and imposed sanctions on multiple “terrorists and their supporters”. US president Donald Trump issued an executive order to expand the administration’s ability to go after suspected terrorists and their financiers and supporters, a day before the anniversary of 9/11, The US Department of state in a press release said: “Along with Mehsud, also designated as Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) are leaders of previously designated groups, including Hizballah, HAMAS, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, ISIS, ISISPhilippines, ISIS-West Africa, and Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan.” In addition to these actions, the Department of the Treasury has designated 15 terrorists affiliated with ISIS, ISIS-Philippines, ISIS-Khorasan, al-Qa’ida, HAMAS, and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force under the same authority. The executive order is the most significant update

China to exempt tariffs on selected US products Beijing, Sept 11 (AFP): China announced Wednesday it would exempt 16 categories of products from US tariffs, ahead of a fresh round of trade talks next month. China and the US have been embroiled in a year-long trade war that has seen the two sides slap punitive tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars in twoway trade. The exemptions announced Wednesday will become effective on September 17 and be valid for one year, according to the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council, which released two lists that include seafood products and anti-cancer drugs. The lists mark the first time Beijing has announced products to be excluded from tariffs. Other product categories which will become exempt from tariffs include alfalfa pellets, fish feed, medical linear accelerators and mould release agents. Wednesday’s lists do not include big-ticket items such as soybeans and pork. Trade negotiators have said they will meet in Washington in early October, raising hopes that fresh negotiations could help ease tensions between the world’s two biggest economies.

of terrorist designation by the authorities since the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, and will enable the US to more effectively sanction the leaders of terrorist organisations and those who train to commit acts of terrorism. “Today’s executive order by President Trump adds further muscle to US counterterrorism efforts,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said during a briefing to reporters at the White House, reported Dawn news. He said Trump’s action amends an earlier executive order that former President George W. Bush initially signed after 9/11

by adding clauses to let the State and Treasury departments directly target leaders of suspected terror groups and their affiliates “without having to tie terrorist leaders to specific acts.” Pompeo said the order also more effectively targets individuals and groups participating in terrorist training and provides new authorities to impose sanctions on foreign financial institutions that knowingly do business with suspected terrorists. By this new order the US seeks to deny these terrorists the resources to plan and carry out attacks. “All of their property and interests in property subject to the US jurisdiction are blocked, and the US persons are generally prohibited from engaging in any transactions with them,” said the US department of State. “This Administration will continue to aggressively use all levers of American power, including financial sanctions, to target terrorists who plot murderous operations to indiscriminately kill innocent civilians around the world, and those who enable, facilitate, and finance their heinous acts,” said the US department.

Netanyahu vows to annex Jordan Valley; Arabs condemn Jerusalem, Sep 11 (IANS): After Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to annex the Jordan Valley in the occupied West Bank if he is voted back to office next week, Arab nations sharply criticised the announcement. Netanyahu said he would apply “Israeli sovereignty over the Jordan Valley and northern Dead Sea,” the BBC reported. Such a move would be popular with right-wing parties which he would have to depend on to form a coalition but fiercely opposed by Palestinians. Arab nations, including officials in Jordan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, have heavily condemned Netanyahu’s annexation plans. The Arab League denounced “the dangerous development” as “aggression”. Palestinian diplomat Saeb Erekat said such a move would be a “war crime” that would “bury any chance of peace”. Israel occupied the West Bank, along with East Jerusalem, Gaza and the Syrian Golan Heights, in the 1967 Middle East war. It effectively annexed East Jerusalem in 1980,

Kabul, Sep 11 (IANS): A powerful explosion occurred near the US embassy in Afghanistan’s capital Kabul, shortly after midnight on Wednesday, the anniversary of the 9/11 attack in the US. No casualties have been reported so far. Images on social media show a plume of smoke rising near the building of the US embassy in the exclusion zone of Kabul where several other embassies are also located, Xinhua news agency reported. The blast was caused by a rocket attack, a local reporter said. An alarm was sounded by the US embassy after the explosion and it could be heard in surrounding areas. There is no official report of any casualty yet but some casualties are feared. No government official could be reached for more details and no one has claimed responsibility for the blast. This is the first major attack in the Afghan capital since US President Donald Trump abruptly called off US-Taliban peace talks to end America’s longest war lasting almost 20 years.

This is the first major attack in the Afghan capital since Trump abruptly called off US-Taliban peace talks.

Last week, two car bombs killed several people, including two members of an international NATO mission. Trump said those attacks, in which one American soldier also died, were the reason he calls the USTaliban talks “dead”. Following Tr ump’s comments, the Taliban pledged to continue fighting against US forces.

In a statement to Al Jazeera, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said Washington would regret turning its back on talks spearheaded by high-level officials from both sides. “We had two ways to end the occupation in Afghanistan. One was jihad and fighting, the other was talks and negotiations,” Mujahid said.

and the Golan Heights in 1981, although neither move was accepted internationally for decades. The Donald Trump administration has since recognised both steps, overturning previous US policy. Palestinians claim the whole of the West Bank for a future independent state. Netanyahu has insisted that Israel would always retain a presence in the Jordan Valley for security purposes. The fate of the West Bank goes to the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israel has built about 140 settlements there and in East Jerusalem which are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this.

ormer Batman Christian Bale has voiced his approval for Robert Pattinson being cast as the Caped Crusader in Matt Reeves’ new movie. The 45-year-old actor played the superhero in Batman Begins in 2005, before later reprising his role in the sequels The Dark Knight (2008) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012). He left the part after that, with Ben Affleck taking over the role, before quitting ahead of The Batman – leaving Reeves the unenviable job of choosing the next person to play the DC Comics superhero on screen.

It was recently announced that ex Twilight star Robert will take on the role, and as Christian attended the Toronto International Film Festival to promote his latest film, the majority of reporters wanted to know what he thought of the casting. “Good choice!” he told Variety, before adding of Robert: “He’s interesting.” During a chat with Entertainment Tonight, he added: “All the best to him!

When we spoke to journalists from across the world, they were all very enthused and keen to know what we will do with it because it’s a muchloved character,” the director told IANS, around the time when the “Rambo” remake’s poster was unveiled at Cannes in 2017.

India hold Qatar in football qualifier A1 Power thrash Burma Camp 4-1 in DFL-2

Gurpreet Singh Sandhu made a string a saves to hold Asian Champions Qatar in a 0-0 draw against India. (Twitter/IndianFootball) Doha, Sep 11 (IANS): Gurpreet Singh Sandhu played the match of his life under the bar as India held Asian champions Qatar to a famous 0-0 draw to earn their first point in a Group E second round World Cup qualifying match here on Tuesday. Sans the services of talisman Sunil Chhetri who was indisposed, Gurpreet led the Indian team who are 41 rungs below Qatar in the

FIFA rankings. Qatar are ranked 62nd in the world to India’s 103. The Bengaluru FC custodian, who was recently awarded the Arjuna award, made a string of saves to keep the hosts at bay for the entire duration of the match.Qatar had 27 shots on target and yet failed to beat Gurpreet in India’s goal as the team under Croatian coach Igor Stimac celebrated the draw like a victory at

the final whistle with Spain and former FC Barcelona great Xavi Hernandez in attendance. It was all about Qatar as far as goalscoring opportunities were concerned as Ismaeel Mohammad rattled the woodwork on the rebound in the 85th minute but luck favoured India and Gurpreet who pulled off some astonishing saves either side of halftime. Sahal Samad and

Udanta Singh had two gilt edged to score for the away side in the second period but both missed by a whisker as the Indian supporters at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium egged the team on raucously. India quite did not miss Chhetri up front as all the action was in their half. Gurpreet was a rock under the bar as he made innumerable saves to keep the likes of Abdelkarim Hassan, Abdul Aziz Hatem and Almoez Ali at bay. Qatar took a dozen of shots and came close to scoring on a couple of occasions but India’s skipper Gurpreet saved almost everything that came his way. At halftime, the hosts were left high and dry as they went into the break 0-0. India, meanwhile, joined Lebanon, South Korea, Iraq, Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Colombia among the sides against whom Qatar have failed to score in the first-half this year. India had narrowly lost to Oman 1-2 in their qualifying opener in Guwahati a few days back.

United FC, which is organizing the Dimapur Football League for the annual event, thereby providing platform for the youngsters to showcase their talents. He assured CNSA’s full support and cooperation to the organizers in their endeavour to promote young talents. Appreciating the public of Dimapur for coming out in large numbers to cheer their clubs, Himato encouraged them to continue extend their support and cooperation.

I have a plan to achieve in higher tournament at national and international level as well, thereby, bringing laurel to our country and state in particular”.

His dream was to play at the national level or international arena but cited lack of sponsorship that has hindered his dream of becoming a top Indian shuttler. Talking about his struggles and challenges, Leihong said that his participation in all the tournaments was sponsored by his parents. “I thought of participating at higher tournaments and in all ranking tournaments but sometimes I could not since it becomes too much for

my parents as I’m not the only child in our family. And sometime I used to wonder for how long my parents could afford me”, he said. Konyak also suggested that the state government should provide proper facilities and infrastructure while highlighting about the sports scenario in the state. He also called for setting up academy in the state stating that there was only one badminton academy in the Northeast region.
