IMF on India’s economic growth WASHINGTON, SEP 13 (PTI): India’s economic growth is “much weaker” than expected, according to the IMF, which attributed it to the corporate and environmental regulatory uncertainty and lingering weaknesses in some nonbank financial companies.

India’s GDP growth rate slipped to 5 per cent in the first quarter of 2019-20, the lowest in over six years, according to latest official data.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) in July projected a slower growth rate for India in 2019 and 2020, a downward revision of 0.3 per cent for both the years, saying its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will now grow respectively at the rate of 7 per cent and 7.2 per cent, reflecting a weaker-than expected outlook for domestic demand.

However, India will still be the fastest growing major economy of the world and much ahead of China, the Washingtonbased global financial institution had said.

“We will have a fresh set of numbers coming up

ACAUT, PSAN back NNQF demand DIMAPUR, SEP 13 (NPN): ACAUT Nagaland and PSAN have extended support to Nagaland NET Qualified Forum (NNQF)’s demand for advertisement of 110 assistant professors and librarians posts in the higher education department. In a joint press release, ACAUT chairman Tia Longchar and PSAN convenor Mughaka have questioned why was NPSC delaying the advertising of the 63 posts in spite of requisition by the higher education department?

They also queried for what purpose the higher education department withheld five posts out of the 68 posts sent to NPSC for requisition? Further, ACAUT and PSAN asked why NPSC has not yet declared the results of 86 post of Common Education Service Exam held on March 9? Seeking immediate answers from the higher education department and NPSC, the two organisations maintained that the patience of the stakeholders, who were for meritocracy, transparency and justice, should not be tested as they still believed in the rule of law. If any unfair practices or unjustified delays were made, ACAUT and PSAN cautioned that they would use all democratic means of expressing resentment.

but the recent economic growth in India is much weaker than expected, mainly due to corporate and environmental regulatory uncertainty and lingering weakness in some non-bank financial companies,” IMF spokesman Gerry Rice told reporters at a news conference here on Thursday.

The risks to the outlook are tilted to the downside, he said.

Responding to a question on the recent GDP figures of India, Rice said the IMF will monitor the economic situation in the country.

Sharp deceleration in manufacturing output and subdued farm sector activity pulled down India’s GDP growth to over six-year low

of 5 per cent in the AprilJune quarter of 2019-20, according to official data released last month.

The previous low in GDP growth was recorded at 4.3 per cent in JanuaryMarch quarter of 2012-13.

India’s economic growth stood at 8 per cent in the same quarter of 2018-19.

“The GDP at Constant (2011-12) Prices in Q1 of 2019-20 is estimated at Rs 35.85 lakh crore, as against Rs 34.14 lakh crore in Q1 of 2018-19, showing a growth rate of 5 per cent,” the National Statistical Office (NSO) said in a statement.

“We will update that assessment in the upcoming world economic outlook,” IMF spokesman said.

India’s exports dropped by 6.05 per cent to USD 26.13 billion in August mainly on account of significant dip in shipments from key sectors such as petroleum, engineering, leather, and gems & jewellery.

Imports too declined by 13.45 per cent to USD 39.58 billion, narrowing trade deficit to USD 13.45 billion in August, according to the government data released on Friday.

The imports during the month slipped the most after August 2016, when it had contracted by 14 per cent. The trade deficit stood at USD 17.92 billion in August 2018.

Out of 30 key sectors, as many as 22 showed negative growth in August.

Shipments of gems and jewellery, engineering goods, and petroleum products contracted by 3.5 per cent, 9.35 per cent and 10.73 per cent, respectively.

The sectors which recorded positive growth in the last month include iron ore, electronic goods, spices, and marine products.

DIMAPUR, SEP 13 (NPN): Minister of higher & technical education and tribal affairs, Temjen Imna Along Longkumer, Friday reminded that Nagaland has the potential to become a robust society, but people needed to look beyond government jobs.

He said this while speaking as the annual function and 28th Freshers’ social of Pranabananda Women’s College (PWC) at college campus here Friday.

The minister said that Nagaland government was the largest provider of employment in the entire country as per the ratio of employment to population .

He however added that ironically, Nagaland, ironically, also has the highest number of educated unemployed population. He attributed the rise in employment to that of a government job oriented society.

Stressing on bringing change in the society, the minister said that everyone wants change but it was time

to focus on what “we need and not on what we want.”

He said if people wanted change then it has to start within every individual.

Further, the minister advised the students to inculcate a lifestyle that was worth living as they pursue knowledge.

He encouraged them not to stop dreaming, saying if one is determined, sincere and dedicated, one would succeed one day.

The minister also congratulated the college for being a pioneer in empowering

women.

In his speech, deputy commissioner (DC) Dimapur, Kevekha Kevin Zehol, encouraged the students to be hard working, do away with self pity and never to lose hope but have determination. “Life is precious, whatever dream you have, it’s the right time to work it out,” he said.

On the occasion, the college felicitated a renowned woman entrepreneur Jesmina Zeliang.

Earlier, delivering welcome address, PWC principal Una Bhowmick said that the college established in 1991 has produced 3050 graduates.

Highlights of the programme included presentation of governor Acharya award and best library user award, inauguration of “Pranab Vision” college magazine by the chief guest and inauguration of wall magazine by entrepreneur Jesmina Zeliang.

Tovihoto roots for power efficiency Raises power sector issues at NERPC meet DIMAPUR, SEP 13 (NPN): Advisor of power, Tovihoto Ayemi, who attended the 20th North Eastern Regional Power Committee (NERPC) in Guwahati on September 12, 2019, raised some pertinent issues on power sector affecting not only Nagaland but also the entire North Eastern Region.

Speaking at the meeting, Tovihoto said it was time all north eastern states realised that power was the engine of growth of any developing economy and that no major economic activity could sustain without adequate and reliable power.

In a press release, principal secretary K D Vizo stated that the advisor suggested all the north eastern states to turn around the power sector in the shortest possible time by introducing the latest state-of-art technologies to modernise the power system to achieve the goal of 24X7 power for all. Tovihoto also suggested improving overall efficiency

118 new community radio stations soon NEW DELHI, SEP 13 (PTI): As many as 118 new community radio stations are in the process of being set up in various parts of the country, including in Left Wing Extremism (LWE) affected districts, north-east and Jammu and Kashmir, Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar said on Friday.

Community radio is a great way to communicate with the public and give opportunities to local artists, he said. “We are going to expand community radio to many other areas which will start in a few months,” the Union minister said. The approved list of applicants having been granted Letter of Intent for setting up community radio stations includes 16 from LWEaffected districts, six from most LWE-affected districts, 25 from coastal districts, 17 from aspirational districts, three from the north-east and two from J&K.

of power system. Advisor power appreciated the role of NERPC in co-ordinating activities like system planning, system operation, scheduling and drawal of Power, generation schedule, resolving commercial issues etc. He, however, opined that NERPC should stretch its hand a little bit more to be truly a spokesman for resolving these issues.

At the meeting, Tovihoto had particularly raised two very important issues confronting Nagaland and all other North Eastern States. The first issue was regarding the deviation settlement mechanism (DSM) regulation wherein the 4th Amendment regime was made effective from January 2019 resulting in huge financial burden in the form of DSM payables affecting the financial health of small

states like Nagaland.

After raising the matter earlier, he said the central electricity regulatory commission (CERC) had realised problems and to some extent the matter has now been partially relaxed through the latest 5th Amendment.

However, he said it was not sufficient as the 5th Amendment was made effective only from June 3, 2019 thus the financial burden from January 2019 to June 2019 still remained unresolved.

The second issue raised was regarding the need to set up a reliable and robust communication and telemetry system in the North Eastern Region for facilitating optimum scheduling and dispatch of electricity within the state, monitor grid operations, keep accounts of the quantity of electricity transmitted through the state grid, exercise supervision and control over intra-state transmission system and carry out real time operations of grid in accordance with grid standards and the state grid code. Both the issues raised were well accepted by all the North Eastern States and unanimous decision was taken by NERPC to raise the matter immediately with Ministry of Power, and CERC.

JAF demands implementation of PAC recommendations DIMAPUR, SEP 13 (NPN): Questioning the state government for nonimplementation of the recommendations made by ROP Pay Anomalies Committee (PAC), the Joint Associations Forum (JAF) of Nagaland Directorate Ministerial Service Association (NDMSA), All Nagaland District Ministerial Service Association (ANDMSA), Trained Nurses Association of India, Nagaland Branch (TNAI)) and Prison Service Association (PSA) has demanded full implementation of the PAC report.

PAC recommended higher pay levels to some categories of employees under the four service associations.

In a press release, JAF has cautioned that if the government failed to take up the issue, the associations would have no other option but to resort to mass agitation until their demand was

fulfilled.

JAF said that the PAC recommended enhancement of pay of specific categories of employees’ w.e.f June 1, 2017. However, even after lapse of nine months from the date of submission of the report, the forum said the government has not implemented the recommendations for no valid reason.

It stated that the government normally constitute a full pay commission to look into the grievances and complaints of anomalies from individuals/departments /associations in the ROPs before adopting a new ROP. However, the joint forum said the government has failed to constitute such ROP committee.

Alternatively, it said PAC was constituted, which recommended higher pay level for some categories of employees under various associations.

DIMAPUR, SEPT 13 (NPN): As per the resolution adopted at the consultative meet of representatives of tribal hohos and student leaders at Tourist Lodge here on Saturday, Public Action Committee (PAC) of Naga Council Dimapur (NCD) has urged the tribal hohos to depute volunteers from September 16 at check gates to prevent illegal collection of money from trucks and lorries. In an appeal by its convener Vekhosayi Nyekha and co-convener K Ghokheto Chophy, PAC urged the tribal hoho volunteers to reach their respective gates of duty half-an-hour before time, besides calling for deputing senior leaders to command the volunteers.

The committee, however, stressed that the volunteers should not check vehicles, but only prevent their crew from paying illegal money to State and non-State actors.

PAC sought full cooperation from the tribal hohos so that the effort towards fighting the illegal collection of money, which was for the betterment of society and Dimapurians in particular, becomes successful.

KOHIMA, SEP 13 (NPN): Ongoing Sanuorü bridge construction on the road leading to Nagaland civil secretariat is being hampered by the continuous flow of garbage through Sanuorü stream during rainy days.

The flow of garbage was adding additional burden on the contractors and labourers, who keep removing

the garbage to prevent the stream from clogging.

However, on Thursday, the stream got blocked because of the garbage and the workers had to remove debris leaving aside their normal construction work.

Speaking to Nagaland Post at the construction site, EE PWD (R&B) south division, Er. Vizotuo Seletsu, appealed to the public to stop throwing garbage into

the stream so the workers could concentrate on their work. He said that in spite of all the constraints, the contractors, engineers and labourers were all out to ensure that the work did not get hampered. However, he said the continuous flow of garbage was quite burdensome since the labourers had to be engaged in removing garbage day and night.

He said the third foun-

dation was about to begin, but were hesitant because of the inclement weather.

Nevertheless, he said by September 16 they could be able to start the work.

Seletsu said though the cost of the bridge was Rs. 20 crore, the state government could give only Rs. 60 lakh as first sanction. Despite that the contractors were giving their best to bring out the bridge to shape. He expressed regret that in spite of the relentless effort, the severe criticism and complaints were not very pleasant. However, he said on completion, Nagaland would have the first four-lane arch bridge very soon. In this regard, he said all the people involved in the construction must be encouraged.

Meanwhile, the engineer has sought cooperation from all responsible citizens so the bridge was completed on time.

Addressing the press before the group makes a declaration sometime later on Friday, Javadekar said the aim was to see a flawless, seamless declaration without any controversy.

“India is committed to ensure that more and more degraded land is restored.

For this climate, biodiversity and desertification conventions have all to work in synergy and that is also the view point of India,” he said.

Executive Secretary General of the UNCCD Ibrahim Thiaw said this COP made four things very clear: that there was clear link between bio diversity and land restoration; that the summit had made a business case for land restoration; that droughts will become more and more frequent in the future; and that land restoration will not succeed “unless we put people first”.

“To my mind, this was the COP where we put people at the heart of what we do. A global movement of restoration, anchored in nature-based solutions would deliver benefits for the three Rio Conventions and for many of the world’s most pressing issues,” he said.

He said the private sector had a role to play to play “going forward, including through promoting sustainable value chains, as well as the incentives that will draw them in, such as the regulation in support of innovation for sustainable land management and rewarding conservation, restoration and sustainable use of resources”.

of the probe and policemen in large numbers have been deployed in and around his residence.

The college administration has declared a holiday for today and a notice in this regard has been pasted on the gate. The postgraduate student has alleged that she was raped and “physically exploited” for a year by the BJP leader, whose organisation runs several colleges.

The two principals who head colleges where the woman has studied were also questioned by the SIT on Thursday. In a letter on the SIT on Wednesday, the woman alleged that some

vital evidence was removed from her hostel room by Chinmayanand’s supporters before it was sealed by the police. Her father alleged that the supporters removed from the room a pair of spectacles with a camera fitted in them, suggesting that this contained evidence against the BJP leader.

The woman also alleged that they planted some things there to tarnish her image.

On Wednesday, the SIT questioned the leader’s lawyer, Om Singh, for over five hours in connection with allegations that the woman had demanded Rs 5 crore from Chinmayanand.

The woman was also taken to a local hospital for a medical examination by a panel of doctors.

In her letter to the SIT, the woman complained that though she had lodged an FIR in New Delhi on September 5, police was yet to register a complaint against the BJP leader.

Remembering 9/11

A

merica’s war on terror, a term it has been using to raise Cain after the ‘kamikaze-type’ suicide attacks on the Twin Towers on 9/11 may have spurred a global response but nearly 18 years later the fight is far from finished. America’s war on terror, came after 19 Islamic terrorists hijacked four civil airliners to carry out a ‘kamikaze-type’ suicide attacks on the Twin Towers on 9/11 and also jolted the complacent west to accept that terror has already arrived.

The terrorists belong to the Al Qaeda group. Eighteen years ago, on September 11,2001 Islamic terrorists hijacked two jet planes- American Airlines flight 11 and United Airlines flight 175- and rammed them on to the famous Twin Towers of New York killing 2996 people and injuring more than 6000 others. In all, four planes were hijacked on that fateful morning of which American Airlines flight 77 was crashed into the Pentagon and the fourth, United Airlines flight 93 crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The Saudi Arabia link to the 9/11 attacks has not been conclusive due to the reluctance of the Saudis to agree to allow the accused from facing charges. The Justice Department announced that it would finally name the Saudi official with alleged ties to the al-Qaeda perpetrators of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States. Responding to years of pressure from the families of those killed in the attacks, the Justice Department and its law-enforcement arm, the FBI, decided to declassify the name of the Saudi official “in light of the extraordinary circumstances of this particular case.” The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating Fahad al-Thumairy and Omar Ahmed al-Bayoumi, Saudi nationals who had allegedly helped the attackers. The two were attached to Saudi Arabia’s US embassy at the time of the attacks.

The case has long threatened to embarrass the Saudi government, which has repeatedly denied links to alQaeda, and would leave it exposed to claims of damages that could reach billions of dollars. In all 19 men, 15 of them Saudis, took part in the plot to hijack four commercial aircraft and crash them into New York’s World Trade Center, the Pentagon and possibly the White House or Congress. Nearly 3,000 people were killed in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania, and families have sued seeking damages from the Saudi government. The victims’ families suing the Saudi government have been demanding for the identity of that person to be released. Rumours have tied the individual to the Saudi royal family. But his identity has remained classified as Washington and Riyadh worked closely after the attacks to root out alQaeda’s network across the Middle East and South Asia. Actually, the terror that the USA is now forced to confront comes in the shape and form of Osama Bin Laden, who was killed in an operation by US Navy Seals in Abottabad Pakistan on May 2, 2011and the Talibans. Both Osama and the Talibans were the creations of the US in its proxy fight against the then USSR’s occupation of Afghanistan. The US not only created a Frankenstein but also helped Pakistan to cement its relations with various terrorist groups fighting against the USSR forces in Afghanistan. India is also a victim of Pakistani Islamic terrorism as exposed by the deadly 26 November 2008 Mumbai attack.

DailyDevotion After Surrender— Then What?

I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. —John 17:4 True surrender is not simply surrender of our external life but surrender of our will— and once that is done, surrender is complete. The greatest crisis we ever face is the surrender of our will. Yet God never forces a person’s will into surrender, and He never begs. He patiently waits until that person willingly yields to Him. And once that battle has been fought, it never needs to be fought again. Surrender for Deliverance. “Come to Me…and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). It is only after we have begun to experience what salvation really means that we surrender our will to Jesus for rest. Whatever is causing us a sense of uncertainty is actually a call to our will— “Come to Me.” And it is a voluntary coming.

Surrender for Devotion. “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself…” (Matthew 16:24). The surrender here is of my self to Jesus, with His rest at the heart of my being. He says, “If you want to be My disciple, you must give up your right to yourself to Me.” And once this is done, the remainder of your life will exhibit nothing but the evidence of this surrender, and you never need to be concerned again with what the future may hold for you. Whatever your circumstances may be, Jesus is totally sufficient (see 2 Corinthians 12:9 and Philippians 4:19). Surrender for Death. “…another will gird you…” (John 21:18; also see John 21:19). Have you learned what it means to be girded for death?

Beware of some surrender that you make to God in an ecstatic moment in your life, because you are apt to take it back again. True surrender is a matter of being “united together [with Jesus] in the likeness of His death” (Romans 6:5) until nothing ever appeals to you that did not appeal to Him. And after you surrender— then what? Your entire life should be characterized by an eagerness to maintain unbroken fellowship and oneness with God.

Post-mortem

Window of opportunity for the Naga people T he Naga people’s struggle to live as a free people is a long story and myriads of articles by many authors in the past have already highlighted the painful journey the Naga people have travelled and along the way, opportunities for Indo-Naga solution had come and gone by.

Today, another window of opportunity is available for a settlement between the two negotiating parties - the Naga people and India.

In the past, the plan for a British Crown Colony for the Nagas in 1946 had failed to impress the then Naga leaders. Akbar Hydari’s 9 point agreement in 1947 fell through. A new state of Nagaland was born in 1963 to the dismay of the Naga nationalists. The 16 Point Agreement initially had the state of Nagaland placed under the Ministry of External Affairs of the Govt. of India but later on it was unceremoniously done away

with and state was brought directly under the control of the Ministry of Home Affairs GOI. The efforts to integrate the contiguous Naga inhabited areas have not materialised till date despite the insertion of point 13th in the Agreement.

In 1929 a Naga Memorandum to the Simon Commission was submitted by Naga Club. Years later, on the 14th of August 1947 the NNC declared the Naga Independence Day in all the Naga inhabited areas and finally in 1951 the NNC led

by A.Z. Phizo conducted the famous Naga plebiscite. In the Naga areas in Manipur in 1930-32 the “Naga Raj” movement was launched by Haipou Jadonang to free the people from the yoke of Colonial rule and the Naga National league (NNL) headed by A. Daiho Mao and N. Modoli launched the well known “No Tax Campaign” at Mao Gate in 1948 wherein the Na-

gas in Manipur refused to pay the annual House Tax to the Govt. of Manipur and under the aegis of the NNL submitted their annual House Taxes to Charles Pawsey the then DC of the Naga Hills of Assam at Kohima as a show of defiance against the Authority of the State in Manipur under which the Naga people in Manipur had been placed without their consent. The above mentioned farsighted actions initiated by our visionary Naga elders both within Nagaland and the Naga Inhabited Areas in Manipur in the initial stages of the struggle helped keep the doors of freedom open for the future generation to stand up and fight for their rights.

Naga National Council (NNC) took over the reins of the Naga National Movement ever since 1946 and for several decades led the Naga struggle upfront but unfortunately in the

later years splits occurred amongst the Nationalists and several Naga Nationalist groups were formed as a result.

The Naga people’s struggle to remain free have not been without its share of bloodshed and countless Naga patriots became victims to the bullets of the Indian army including the many horrific atrocities committed by the Indian military personnel stationed in the Naga Inhabited Areas.

Fast forward to the present Naga peace process, the Indo-Naga talks initiated by the Indian side with the NSCN (IM) in 1997 and having continued for well over two decades to find a solution to the protracted Indo-Naga conflict is reportedly in an advanced stage and may be concluded sooner than later. The NSCN (IM) have stuck to their demand for inclusion of a separate Naga constitution

and flag for the Naga people in the negotiation which the Indian side seem reluctant to concede to.

Mr. Ravi who is the Interlocutor for the peace talks and the Governor of the state Nagaland, has hinted that the negotiations shall be concluded within three months, prompting Mr. Q. Tuccu NSCN (IM)’s supremo to quip that, it was an “ultimatum” by India’s PM Modi to the Naga people, according to an article published in the Nagaland Post recently.

The details of the talks between the NSCN (IM) and the Indian side have not been made public as of today. There is the group of WC of NNPGs besides the NSCN (IM) that are presently engaged in the talks simultaneously with the Indian side.

Negotiations on a win-win basis for all the parties involved would be warmly welcomed by all.

It is presumed that the talks between the WC of NNPGs with the Indian side have gone down well with the WC of NNPGs. The NSCN (IM) on the other hand is invariably adamant that the Naga flag and constitution should be included in any final agreement since the Naga side feels that outcome of the talks should be acceptable and honourable to the Naga people.

The Indian side needs to fully understand and respect the sentiment of the Naga people and allow the Naga flag and constitution to be included in the agreement. This gesture would send the right message to the Naga people, and hopefully, the Indians would also be able to understand that the Naga case is indeed unique requiring a unique solution.

the incorrigible jhum cultivation of the northeast Naga Food Fest in Shillong

F

or long, bureaucrat Experts in India have been saying, “Jhum Cultivation in the Northeast destroys extensive ‘Forests’ every year”. This is not true in Nagaland.

What is stated as ‘Forests’ at above is not the Sarkar’s notified Forest, it is agricultural land -Jhumland- in the Northeast, laid in rest and overgrown with jungles to fallow for a variable number of years, and belongs to the Village.

These lands are not at the disposal of the Government and not Forests under the Forest Act. In Nagaland each TRIBE is composed of a more or less number of constituent independent VILLAGES with jhum land Territory its own from time immemorial protected by Head hunting and recognized by the neighboring Villages. The Village is composed of a more or less number of constituent independent CLANS each owning traditionally demarcated area from other Clans. The Clan consists of are number of related kith and kin FAMILIES who own the land and cultivate them adjacent to the other brother family.

The Village has definite boundaries of the annual cultivation Coupes [PoOk in Ao]. The boundary of the different Clan lands in any annual coupe have been traditionally and permanently demarcated with Stones from time immemorial and the kith and kin Family Plots have non-permanent wooden family boundary Posts.

This land holding System of the Jhum lands is traditional and customary from very early days of yore, and is recognize as such by the Government and protected under Article 371A of the Constitution of India today. No family pays Tax to anybody, the land being their his own inherited jhum lands.

The Oxford Dictionary describes Forest as “a large Area of Trees and undergrowth”. However, technically and legally, the Jhum land with re-growths of Trees and undergrowth is not Forest land.

It is only the Land that are at the disposal of the Government, processed and notified officially in accordance with procedures laid down in the State Forest Act are ‘Forests’, not others. The Jhum jungles in Nagaland, being laid fallow for more than half a dozen year, overgrown with Trees, Shrubs and undergrowth look like Forests in India but are Agricultural lands in Nagaland, not notified ‘Forests’.

Jhum cultivation in the State uses only about 12% of the total Area of the Village Jhumland in any one particular year and 88% of the land is laid fallow for at least 8 years before it is cultivated again in the next Jhum Cycle. Thus, every Village has 88% of its Jhumland in rest for 8 to 22 years at every year before its term returns for cultivation again. Village cultivates the year’s Area together Clan by Clan, Family by Family in conformity with the Traditional System continued from time immemorial.

Longkhüm, a the prominent Ao Villages, has some far-off Jhumlands not cultivated since the founding of the Village, they Reader’s note: Articles

are too far away from the Village to cultivate. It has big trees, which supply the local Saw Mills with the Timber; others are at tiresome distances away from the Village and not cultivated for many years more than 22 years. They are also overgrown with Trees that supply unaccounted number of Truckloads of Firewood and Charcoal together with Longkong Village to Mokokchung Town. The villager gets considerable income from this.

Today, only 20% of the Lungkhüm Villagers and in most other Villages do Jhum Cultivation covering hardly 25% of their annual Jhum cultivation area. Many of the Villagers have turned to production of the famous Lonkhüm Tomatoes that supply Mokokchung and other Markets reaching even Kohima Markets.

Many former jhum cultivators of the Village have taken to production of vegetables like Cabbage, Chilly and other horticulture items much easier to produce and more paying than Rice of jhum cultivation. Incidentally, these vegetable plots occupy hardly a fraction of the area of their former Village Jhum Plots.

No Ao family today is able to cultivate all the jhumlands their ancestors cultivated. Once a High Official of the Planning Commission came to Kohima and in a bureaucratic meeting enquired whether the Jhum Cycle in Nagaland has decreased or not in view of the steep Population increase in Nagaland then. All the Officers pleasantly replied the jhuming cycle has decreased. The Official was hosted to Dinner in the Japfü Hotel and there I requested him to a Table where sitting beside him I could give him the answer to the question he raised in the Conference Hall of the Secretariat earlier on the day. I also requested the Development Commissioner Nagaland and the Principal Chief Conservator to the table.

When seated, I said to the Officer from Delhi: “Sir, you asked whether the Jhuming Cycle in Nagaland has decreased or Not, “It has not decreased, it is about 8 years or more”, I said.

“Then why did the Officers in the Meeting said it has decreased?” he questioned.

“They said it has decreased because they thought you wanted to hear it so”, I replied.

“The Development Commissioner Nagaland is here, Mr. such & such; you may ask him whether he and his brother are able today to cultivate all the Jhum area their Father cultivated”. The Commissioner said he and his brothers are unable to cultivate all the area their father had cultivated.

The Principal Chief Conservator also, in reply to a question from the Guest, said that their Villagers were unable to cultivate the Area their ancestors cultivated.

Therefore, they have separated out an extent of the Village Jhum Area, divided it into 8 parts and cultivate one part after another every year until they reach the Eight Coupes in the Eight year. They converted the other 7/8th [88%] part of the or letters published in any of the

Area to permanent Tree Plantation. In Nagaland conditions of climate, geography and edaphically a cultivated area sufficiently gets fallow in 8 years. And Jhum cultivation does not cause Land degradation in alarming scale in Nagaland.

If the plot is allowed to fallow for longer years, the Trees become big and require more time and labor to clear the Plot for planting crops. Hence, quite a number of the bigger Trees are therefore lopped of the branches and left standing in the field.

I informed the Guest that the increase or decrease of the State population does not directly influence the Jhum Cycle; it is the size of the Jhum cultivating population that decide the Jhum cycle: less the jhuming population longer the Cycle and greater jhuming population shorter the Cycle.

In the State, the rural population is migrating to the Town and Cities in search of Education, better jobs opportunities and better life; only the Old Man and old Woman of the family and small children stay in the Villages that do jhum cultivation.

Terrace cultivating communities of the Angamis and the Chakhesangs have abandoned and abandoning jhum cultivation today and are taking up easier more paying vegetable or horticulture crops cultivation mentioned earlier in this write-up and buy Karnataka Rice. The Vegetable and horticultural Crops are much easier to tend and pay much more in much less Area. The people do jhuming in small Plots only to produce their various agri-needs like Millet, Jobs tear, Bean, Pulses, Maize, Ginger, Tubers, Chilly, Gourd, Pumpkin, Cucumber etc.

Nagaland is progressively abandoning even Terrace cultivation despite the Government continues distribution of portable Power Tillers to the Paddy cultivators for the last many years. Most Jhum cultivators cannot afford to pay even the subsidized price of the power Tillers, moreover the machine cannot be used for jhum cultivation in the hills and the mountains.

The abandonment of Jhum Cultivation today is not because the Government Expert’s are against it but because of the availability of other alternative more suitable avenues of income to the poor Cultivators. Various easier means of livelihood have become available other than backbreaking jhum Cultivation. It is mostly in the interior bordering Myanmar that Nagaland still does unavoidable Jhum cultivation for subsistence.

Rice cultivation with human backbone in the hills is one of the hardest of agricultural practices. To produce a Kg of Rice involves an expenditure of `s 47/- but fetches only `36/- in return.

t is indeed a good initiative by the Naga Students Union (NSF) of Shillong to host such an event to raise fund and help Naga students who are in need of help. Having stayed in Nagaland for the past five years I appreciate and love the Naga culture particularly their traditional attires. Consequently, it is my pleasure to attend such an event held in my own home town. It is a great joy to see all the Naga students of Shillong belonging to different tribes yet coming together and host this event. The venue was at Jingking ground near Nongthymmai which is very convenience for the local people to witness and participate actively in this Naga food fest. The students were trying various means to attract more people to come and participate in this occasion. Thus, the event was quite satisfactory to see and be part of it.

Having said that, it is also my duty to point out few things to improve upon when host such occasion next time. Nagaland is known for festivals because of the various tribes residing in it. It is very rich in culture and we just love it to see them coming with full cultural attires especially during Hornbill festival. Therefore, being a local from Meghalaya and have lived in Nagaland for few years I just feel pity and sad to see the Naga students here forgetting their own cultures and traditions. I was so happy to hear about the Naga food fest and in fact, I took some of my friends to see the colourful people of Nagaland.

Unfortunately the occasion was just like attending a programme somewhere in the western countries. A friend of mine, who once attended the Hornbill festival, was so unhappy with the occasion. In fact he said, the food was simple and nothing special as he experienced in Nagaland, the students were not in their own traditional attires and the food arrangement was not systematic.

Thus, he said that if the students could have been in their own traditional attires as in Hornbill festival, the attendants could have been double up and the

income of the event could have been better. The locals here could have been happy to attend such an event and see the richness of the Naga cultures through their traditional attires. The music was all in western languages and not even a single folk song added to stimulate the event and the attendants who want to know the Naga culture. Hence, in my opinion I would like to encourage the Naga students who are here to be proud of their own cultures and if such an occasion is organised here, the locals would be happier to attend and learn something about the Naga culture. ‘If such programme is well organised with the rich cultures and traditions of the Nagas, we do not need to go to Kohima and attend the hornbill festival’ said one of the locals.

It is so unfortunate that young people are not comfortable and not proud of to put on their own traditional attires. Instead they prefer to put the other western dresses and costumes. The richness of the Naga culture is weakened and decreased when young people are uncomfortable with it.I personally admired the richness of the Naga cultures and in fact I never miss to attend any programme conducted for promoting the culture. Nagaland is the only state in which every month there is festival such as Muatsu for the Aos in May, TokhuEmong for the Lothas in November, Tuluni for the Sumi in July, Sekrenyi for the Angamis in February and so on.

The colourful people of Nagaland is seen when one puts on their own traditional attires which is so unique and beautiful from one another.Therefore, my humble advice to the Naga students of Shillong is to be proud of your own culture and we the locals would be more appreciated to see you in your own traditional attires when such occasion is held here in Shillong. Lastly, this is my personal opinion and it is not of my intention to hurt anyone instead to appreciate the richness of your culture that I love and value it.

Odd-even scheme back in Delhi from Nov 4

NEW DELHI/ NAGPUR, SEP 13 (PTI): The odd-even road rationing scheme will come into effect in Delhi from November 4-15, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced on Friday among a slew of other measures to combat high-level of air pollution caused due to stubble burning in neighbouring states during winters.

Kejriwal announced the odd-even scheme as part of the seven-point ‘Parali Pradushan’ action plan that also includes mass distribution of anti-pollution masks, mechanised sweeping and water sprinkling on the roads, tree plantation, and special plans for 12 pollution hotspots in the city.

During the 12-day scheme, vehicles will ply alternately on odd and even dates as per their registration numbers. In the previous two experiments in January and April in 2016, a fine of Rs 2,000 was imposed on the violators of the rule.

Kejriwal said the details of the scheme will be shared with people in coming days.

In the past, two-wheelers and female commuters were exempted from the rule.

Arvind Kejriwal According to the graded response action plan (GRAP) devised by the Central Pollution Control Board, the odd-even scheme for private vehicles is implemented when the pollution level at ‘severe plus’ category persists for 48 hours or more. The air pollution level in Delhi remains low in 11 months of a year but picks up in November due to stubble (parali) burning in the neighbouring states.

Dense cloud of smoke covers Delhi, which becomes a gas chamber, the chief minister said.

“The Centre, and governments in Punjab and Haryana are making their efforts to prevent crop burning and the Delhi government will extend all possible help

to them,” he said.

Asserting the efficacy of the odd-even scheme, Kejriwal said studies have shown that it could reduce air pollution by 10-13 per cent. The scheme was criticised by some sections including experts on the ground that effect on air quality was limited.

“We will utilise our experiences of implementation of odd-even schemes twice in the past in Delhi,” he said when asked about overcharging by cab aggregators after the scheme is implemented.

The chief minister said that under the long-term plans to improve air quality in the city to “good” category, the government will soon announce its bus aggregator and e-vehicle policy.

Kejriwal said over 1,200 suggestions were received from the people regarding ways to combat air pollution in Delhi during winters. He also received feedback of environmental experts and resident welfare associations based on which the action plan was prepared.

“The Delhi government will make large-scale

procurement of around 5060 lakh ‘best quality’ N-95 anti-pollution masks which will be distributed among the people in October month before the spike in air pollution in next month due to parali burning,” he said.

The Delhi government will hold a mega laser show on the eve of Diwali and appeal to the people to follow the ban on bursting of crackers on the festival.

“We appeal to the peo-

ple to avoid bursting crackers on Diwali. The government will host a laser show on the eve of Diwali so that all people in the city could celebrate the festival. We hope people will not burst crackers after this.”

Sprinkling of water and mechanised sweeping of roads will be undertaken to curb dust pollution. Twelve major pollution hotspots will be dealt with special plans and measures, he said.

Gadkari says no need for odd-even scheme in Delhi Hours after Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday said the odd-even road rationing scheme will be implemented in the national capital from November 4 to 15, Union minister Nitin Gadkari said the move was not required. Under the scheme, odd and even numbered vehicles ply on alternate days. While Kejriwal said the move was aimed at combating high levels of air pollution in winters when crop burning takes place in neighbouring states, Gadkari claimed works underway in Delhi would ensure it is pollution-free in the next two years. Union minister for road transport and highways Gadkari was speaking to reporters after inaugurating a CNG outlet in Nagpur. “Now there is no such need (odd-even scheme) because the new ring road we have built is helping reduce pollution in Delhi to a certain extent. Besides, my ministry is pursuing road works of about Rs 50,000 crore. Cleaning of Yamuna and other works to curb pollution are also underway,” he said. “I think Delhi will be pollution free in two years time,” he asserted. Speaking at the function, Gadkari emphasised the use of CNG for public transport, and said Nagpur would get several electric buses soon.

PNB scam: Interpol issues global arrest warrant against Nehal Modi NEW DELHI, SEP 13 (PTI): The Interpol has issued a Red Corner Notice (RCN) against Nehal Modi, a step brother of Nirav Modi, the prime accused in the USD 2 billion PNB scam case, officials said on Friday.

They said the global arrest warrant against the Belgian national Nehal Modi, 40, has been issued on charges of alleged money laundering being probed by the Enforcement Directorate.

Nehal Modi is stated to be in the US and a Mumbai court has issued two open-ended (without deadline) non-bailable warrants (NBWs) for arrest against him.

It is on the basis of these NBWs and charge sheet that the ED requested for an Interpol (international police) notice against Nehal Modi.

The ED said Nehal Modi was the “protector and investment advisor” for the 48-year-old Nirav Modi as well as Mehul Choksi, another prime accused in the case.

Nehal Modi Nehal Deepak Modi was born in Antwerp, Belgium, on March 3, 1979, and he knows languages such as English, Gujarati and Hindi, according to the RCN. In its RCN issued against a fugitive, the Interpol asks its 192 membercountries to arrest or detain the person if spotted in their countries after which extradition or deportation proceedings can begin.

Nehal Modi has been named in the charge sheet filed by ED in this case and he has been charged with destruction of evidence and “knowingly and intentionally” assisting Nirav Modi in his alleged illegal acts.

“He (Nehal Modi) was looking after the affairs of Twin Fields Investments Limited and Bailey Bank and Biddle for Nirav Modi.

Both these companies had received around USD 50 million from dummy companies of Nirav Modi which in turn received this fund from the fraud committed on PNB,” the ED said in a statement.

For Nirav Modi, it added, Nehal became the protector and investment advisor of ‘The Ithaca Trust’.

“The said trust got tainted funds to the tune of USD 30 million after extensive layering and two immovable properties have been purchased in USA from these.

“After the case broke out, Nehal Modi had dealt with the proceeds of crime and had taken away diamonds worth USD 6 million, 150 boxes of pearls from Hong Kong and cash of AED (UAE Dirham) 3.5 million and 50 kg gold along with Mihir Bhansali, another co-conspirator in the case, from Dubai,” the agency alleged.

ED seeks 5 more days of custodial HC vacates order granting protection from arrest to ex-top cop interrogation of Cong leader Shivakumar worth ‘benami’ property, Additional Solicitor General K M Natraj said.

He said the ED needs to confront him with voluminous documents it has collected in the case.

The ED told the court that Shivakumar was withholding information which was solely in his knowledge.

“I am sure he won’t answer questions in the next five days either. Why do you need his custody,” the judge asked ED, to which the agency replied that there are statements by some other accused and Shivakumar needs to be confronted with that. The court had allowed ED to interrogate the politician in custody, saying the allegations made against him were serious in nature.

Meanwhile, Shivakumar’s daughter Aishwarya had appeared before the ED on Thursday in connection

with its money-laundering probe against him, the ED officials had said.

The 22-year-old management graduate was questioned and her statement was recorded under PMLA. According to the sources, she was also confronted with documents and statements made by Shivakumar with regard to a trip to Singapore he made with her in 2017. Aishwarya is a trustee in an education trust floated by her father.

The trust, holding assets and businesses worth crores, operates a number of engineering and other colleges and Aishwarya is the main person behind them, they said. The former cabinet minister and sitting MLA from Kanakapura seat had appeared before the ED for questioning on September 3 for the fourth time at its headquarters here.

tation, the court observed that it should be the duty of every responsible officer to assist an investigation. The CBI had summoned Kumar on May 27 for questioning in connection with the Saradha ponzi scheme case, challenging which he had moved the high court, seeking quashing of the notice.

A vacation bench had on May 30 granted Kumar protection from arrest and coercive action by the CBI. The protection was

extended from time to time during the hearing of his petition seeking quashing of the notice.

Justice Mitra observed that right to life and personal liberty enshrined in Article 21 of the Constitution is not absolute, but a qualified right. She also refused to entertain the former Kolkata top cop’s prayer that no coercive action be taken against him without the permission of this court. The Supreme Court had, on May 17,

withdrawn the protection from arrest to Kumar, which it had granted earlier.

A vacation bench of the apex court, headed by Justice Arun Mishra, had said Kumar could approach the Calcutta High Court or a trial court here for seeking relief in the case.

The central agency had in April told the top court that Kumar’s custodial interrogation was necessary as he was not cooperating in the probe.

SRINAGAR, SEP 13 (PTI): Fresh restrictions were imposed in parts of Srinagar on Friday to maintain law and order in view of congregational prayers, even as the stalemate following abrogation of Article 370 entered its 40th day with schools closed and public transport off the roads, officials said.

Fresh restrictions have been imposed in areas around Hazratbal, while the curbs continued in five police station areas of downtown – interior areas of the city, the officials said.

They said the restrictions under Section 144 CrPc have been imposed to maintain law and order.

The authorities have been imposing restrictions in vulnerable areas of the valley every Friday, apprehending that vested interests might exploit the large gatherings at big mosques and shrines to fuel protests.

Friday prayers have not been allowed at any of the major mosques or shrines – including Jamia Masjid in Nowhatta or Dargah Sharief in Hazratbal - in the valley for the past over a month now.

The restrictions were first imposed across Kashmir on 5 August when the Centre announced its decision to abrogate Article 370 of the Constitution and bifurcate the state into two Union territories. The restrictions were lifted in phases from many parts of the valley as the situation improved with the passage of time.

Kumar was the commissioner of Bidhannagar Police when the SIT was formed and looked after its day to day operations, his counsel had told the court during the hearing of the case.

Justice Mitra, in her order said that Kumar’s allegation that he was targetted and singled out for questioning by the CBI cannot be accepted, since other officers superior to him in the SIT were questioned.

The court observed that the notice served on Kumar by the investigating officer (IO) cannot be said to be mala fide as alleged by the IPS officer, as he can question anyone acquainted with the case.

Noting that Kumar has failed to substantiate that the CBI was summoning him for questioning to dent his repu-

NEW DELHI, SEP 13 (PTI): The Enforcement Directorate on Friday sought 5-day extension of Karnataka Congress leader D K Shivakumar’s custodial interrogation.

Shivakumar, arrested on September 3 by the ED in a money laundering case, was produced before a Delhi court on the expiry of his 9-day custodial interrogation. The court had on September 4 sent him in the ED custody till today.

The Congress leader was produced before special judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar.

The probe agency told the court that Shivakumar was evasive and gave irrelevant answers during the interrogation, and many of his properties are ‘benami’.

“As per probe against Shivakumar, tainted money is more than Rs 200 crore and there is Rs 800 crore

KOLKATA, SEP 13 (PTI): The Calcutta High Court on Friday vacated its interim order granting former Kolkata police commissioner Rajeev Kumar protection from arrest in the Saradha chitfund scam case.

The court also rejected Kumar’s prayer for quashing of a CBI notice that sought his appearance for questioning in the case.

Kumar, who is currently the West Bengal CID Additional Director General, was part of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) set up by the state government to investigate the scam before the Supreme Court handed over the case to the CBI in 2014, along with other chitfund cases.

The Saradha group of companies allegedly duped lakhs of customers to the tune of Rs 2,500 crore, promising higher rates of

1,75,572 crore has already been released by July this year to the states as compensation.

The balance fund left is only Rs 23,391 crore.

The states would acknowledge the situation of the compensation cess fund, before considering any rate rationalisation proposal, said the official.

Sources said that three more compensation installments are to be paid further during the year. Keeping into account the monthly average of the compensation cess to be collected and the balance available, there could be some shortfall. Any rate reduction would add further shortfall.

So keeping all this under consideration, the Council members would be left with three options.

They would either have to forgo their compensation or would be forced to broaden the base of goods and services on which cess could be levied or increase the cess on present items.

Neither of these steps would be prudent from the taxation point of view, the official added.

official said. The argument propagated has been to boost the consumption and the domestic demand by reducing Goods and Services Tax (GST) rates further.

However, this argument is not breaking the ground as most of the states are of the view that slowdown in these sectors is because of cyclical and structural issues and not because of GST rates, the official said. “If any proposal of rate reduction for any sector comes for the consideration of the Council, the member would first have to review the revenue position and only then decide,” said an official in the knowledge of the matter.

According to the sources, the states are aware that it would not be tax prudent to allow GST rate reduction at this stage as the compensation cess fund which is utilised to compensate the states as per the GST Act, in case the revenue is below the targeted growth rate, has turned negative.

The compensation cess collected during 2017-2019 (till August in the current year) amount to Rs 1,98,963 crore. Out of which Rs

New Delhi, Sep 13 (PTI): The all-powerful GST Council will at its Goa meeting next week consider demands for reducing taxes on products ranging from cars to biscuits keeping in mind the revenue position as any cut will have a direct impact on earnings of states, a senior government official has said.

The GST Council, headed by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and comprising representatives of all states and Union Territories (UTs), is scheduled to meet on September 20 in Goa amidst a clamour for a cut in tax rates from various industries to beat the slowdown in the economy. The economic growth hit a six-year low of 5 per cent for the first quarter of the current fiscal and the government has announced a slew of measures to reinvigorate the sagging growth.

There have been demands pouring in from various sectors from biscuits to automobiles and FMCG to hotels to reduce tax rates in the wake of perceived economic slowdown, the

farmers gain with such policy decisions, he said.

“In fact, efforts are being put in to sanction food parks and mini food parks within 10 acres of the land ceiling since huge landscapes are not available in every state,” Teli added.

The minister also said the budget allocation for food processing ministry should be raised to Rs 3,000 crore a year from the current level of Rs 1,400 crore in order to boost the sector.

Yes Bank Senior President (Global Head Food and Agri Strategic Advisory and Research) Nitin Puri, Frick India Managing Director Jagmohan Singh, as well as US Embassy official Mark Wallace, were present at the event.

“The World Bank has agreed to sanction Rs 3,000 crore for the Ministry of Food Processing to enable it finance mini and mega food parks across the country,” Teli was quoted as saying at the event.

Mumbai, Sep 13 (PTI): The rupee marched higher for the seventh straight session on Friday to close at 70.92 per US dollar, up 22 paise, as softening crude oil prices and easing US-China trade tensions bolstered investor sentiment.

Most Asian currencies gained following signs of rapprochement between US and China over their trade dispute.

US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Thursday said that Washington wants to make ‘meaningful progress’ in China trade talks.

Robust buying in domestic equities and a weakening dollar also propped up the domestic unit, forex

traders said.

The Indian currency has appreciated by 147 paise in the last seven trading sessions.

At the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee opened at 70.94 a dollar. It shuttled between a high of 70.86 and low of 71.15, before finally settling at 70.92, up 22 paise over its previous close.

The rupee had finished at 71.14 against the greenback on Thursday.

On a weekly basis, the local unit has gained 82 paise.

“In the past 7-days, rupee has appreciated by 2.13 per cent on some profit-booking in dollar amid hopes of US-China trade truce,” said Rahul Gupta, Currency Research Head, Emkay Global Financial Services Limited.

T h e d o l l a r i n d ex , which gauges the greenback’s strength against a basket of six currencies, slipped 0.29 per cent to 98.02.

Brent crude futures, the global oil benchmark, fell 0.07 per cent to trade at USD 60.34 per barrel.

Japanese financial services major Nomura said in a research note.

It further said the RBI’s FY’20 GDP growth projection of 6.9 percent “appears too optimistic” and is widely expected to be downgraded at the October 4 policy meeting.

According to Bank of America Merrill Lynch, the RBI rate cuts are necessary to bring real lending rates down to incentivise investment.

“We believe there is a rising case for a 50 basis points RBI rate cut, on October 4, with August inflation coming in at a lower-than-expected 3.2 percent,” BofAML said in a research note.

The RBI, which mainly factors in CPI for arriving at its bi-monthly monetary policy, has been mandated by the government to ensure inflation remains at 4 percent, with deviation of 2 percent on either side.

imports contracted by 5.68 per cent to USD 206.39 billion. Gold imports plunged 62.49 per cent to USD 1.36 billion in the month.

Commenting on the figures, Ludhiana-based exporter S C Ralhan said this is the right time for the government to announce incentives. “Merchandise export from India scheme (MEIS) should not be withdrawn.

The government must start thinking that EPCG (export promotion for capital goods) policy should be simplified to promote manufacturing and import of machines under EPCG should not have any export obligation for manufacturer exporters,” Ralhan said.

Council for Leather Exports Chairman Panaruna Aqeel Ahmed said this could be a temporary phenomena and the exports would start growing in the coming months.

New Delhi, Sep 13 (PTI): The Reserve Bank of India is expected to go for a further rate cut in the next month’s monetary policy review as inflation is expected to pan out in line with the central bank’s projection, experts say.

According to global as well as domestic brokerages, moderating inflation and a negative output gap are likely to open the door for an accommodative monetary policy.

According to official data, retail inflation inched up marginally to 3.21 percent in August from 3.15 percent in July, mainly due to costlier food items.

India’s industrial production growth slowed to 4.3 percent in July, dragged mainly by manufacturing sector’s poor show.

“Contained inflation and a larger negative output gap set the stage for policy easing in October.

We expect 40 basis points (cut) cumulatively in Q4,”

New Delhi, Sep 13 (PTI): The World Bank will provide Rs 3,000 crore funds to finance mini and mega food parks across the country, particularly in Northeast, and help boost farmers’ income, Union Minister Rameswar Teli said on Friday.

per cent, respectively.

The sectors which recorded positive growth in the last month include iron ore, electronic goods, spices, and marine products.

The country’s outbound shipments have remained subdued so far this year. It will have implications on the overall economic growth, which has reported over six-year low growth of 5 per cent in the first quarter of the current fiscal.

India’s industrial production growth too slowed to 4.3 per cent in July, dragged mainly by manufacturing sector’s poor show, according to a government data.

In August, oil imports declined by 8.9 per cent to USD 10.88 billion, and nonoil imports fell by 15 per cent to USD 28.71 billion.

founder Julian Assange India thwarts Pak’s bid to raise Kashmir at UNGA toWikiLeaks stay in jail over absconding fears

United Nations, Sep 13 (IANS): Calling it “the hub of terrorism”, India has dismissed Pakistan’s attempts to raise the Kashmir issue in the UN General Assembly after it had failed to get a hearing in the Security Council.

Pakistan was attempting “to misuse this forum to spread baseless and deceitful narratives about my country”, Indian diplomat Sandeep Kumar Bayyapu said on Thursday at the General Assembly debate on the Security Council’s annual report.

“Such attempts have not succeeded earlier and will not succeed now,” he said. A First Secretary in India’s UN Mission, Bayyapu said: “The truth is that the delegation represents a geographical space that is now widely known as the hub of terrorism that has jeopardized innocent lives in our region and beyond.”

He declined to go into a point-by-point rebuttal

Sandeep Kumar Bayyapu (File)

of the statement made earlier by Pakistan’s Permanent Representative Maleeha Lodhi, saying: “We do not wish to dignify such baseless diatribes with a response.”

Bayyapu devoted his speech to the working of the Council and its relationship to the Assembly.

“Many of the flaws in the functioning of the Council are structural,” he said.

“Like most others, we remain convinced that the only remedy is a comprehensive reform of the Security Council, involving

expansion in its permanent and non-permanent categories.” Bayyapu said that the Council’s “composition is demonstrably out of touch with ground realities” as it “neither reflects nor represents the aspirations and views of the larger membership”.

The 15-member Council is dominated by five vetowielding permanent members, three of them from Europe. India is seeking a reform of the Council that would expand the permanent membership to include

it and other countries, especially from Africa, to reflect the 21st century realities.

Lodhi was critical of the Council, accusing it of actively pursuing some resolutions while ignoring others.

Referring to the Council’s resolution on Kashmir, she said: “As elsewhere, when the Council fails to implement its own resolutions, the price for this failure is paid, in blood, by generations of innocent people.” Islamabad, however, failed to abide by the resolution.

Forcing the implementation of Resolution 47 of 1948 that calls for a plebiscite, would require the Council to make Pakistan withdraw from the parts of Kashmir it occupies.

The resolution made it a first condition that Pakistan pull out of Kashmir all its troops and those it sent in disguised as “tribesmen”. Only after Pakistan had complied with that

Vietnam asks Chinese ships to leave territorial waters

Iraq rejects Netanyahu’s pledge to annex West Bank B a g h da d, S e p 1 3 (IANS): Iraq on Friday said “categorically rejected” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s pledge to annex large parts of the occupied West Bank if he wins the next election.

A statement by Iraqi Foreign Ministry’s spokesman Ahmed al-Sahaf said that his country’s rejection of Netanyahu’s intention to annex Jordan Valley and the north of Dead Sea has prompted a wave of outrage in the Arab, Islamic and international areas.

Iraq treats Netanyahu’s announcement as an “aggressive electoral propaganda and programmed racist settlement policy, based on the deprivation of the rights of the Palestinian people”, Al-Sahaf was quoted as saying by Xinhua news agency.

“It is a very dangerous occupation step towards Palestine, which comes to fuel the conflict in the whole region,” Al-Sahaf said, adding that such announcement has to be encountered with an Arab and international reaction.

Iraq also confirmed that it is important “to provide international protection to the Palestinian people and the Palestinian territories and to exert a genuine, practical and responsible effort at all levels to address the actions of the Zionist entity (Israel), which deliberately violates international law”.

On Tuesday, Netanyahu pledged to annex a key part of the occupied West Bank if re-elected in next week’s election. Israel occupied the West Bank in the 1967 war and also seized part of the Golan Heights from Syria.

The dispute between China and Vietnam is about sovereignty over the Paracel islands and parts of the Spratly archipelago.

The Chinese ship returned in mid-August to an area near the Vanguard Bank - a reef situated in the Vietnamese controlled parts of Spratly islands around 200 nautical miles from its coast - where it had first arrived in July along with Coast Guard escorts

in search of natural gas reserves under the seabed.

Vietnam began to drill near the Vanguard Bank in May in collaboration with Russian company Rosneft when the drilling contract was cancelled by Hanoi under pressure from Beijing.

China claims sover-

eignty over the entire South China Sea region, a strategically significant maritime area which is situated on an important trade route and has vast reserves of natural resources, with Brunei, the Philippines, Malaysia and Taiwan also claiming parts of the region.

London, Sep 13 (IANS): WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will remain in prison even when his jail term ends because of his “history of absconding”, a judge ruled on Friday.

Assange was due to be released on September 22 after serving his sentence for breaching bail conditions. But Westminster Magistrates’ Court heard that there were “substantial grounds” for believing he would abscond again, according to the BBC. The 48-year-old Australian is fighting extradition to the US over allegations of leaking government secrets.

He will face a full extradition hearing in 2020, starting on February 25, after an extradition request was signed by the then Home Secretary Sajid Javid in June. Assange received a 50week sentence in Belmarsh Prison, southeast London, after being found guilty of

breaching the Bail Act in April.

He was arrested at the Ecuadorian Embassy, where he took refuge in 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden over sexual assault allegations - which he has denied.

District judge Vanessa Baraitser on Friday told Assange, who appeared by video-link: “You have been produced today because your sentence of imprisonment is about to come to

an end.

“When that happens your remand status changes from a serving prisoner to a person facing extradition.

“Therefore I have given your lawyer an opportunity to make an application for bail on your behalf and she has declined to do so. Perhaps not surprisingly in light of your history of absconding in these proceedings,” she said.

“In my view I have substantial ground for believing if I release you, you will abscond again,” the judge added.

Assange was asked if he understood what was happening, and replied: “Not really. I’m sure the lawyers will explain it.”

He faces 18 charges in the US, including computer misuse and the unauthorized disclosure of national defence information.

Hanoi, Sep 13 (IANS): The government of Vietnam on Friday demanded the immediate withdrawal of a Chinese oil exploration vessel and its escorts from an area that Hanoi claims as its territory and is disputed by Beijing.

“Vietnam demands China to immediately stop its serious violations and withdraw all of the vessels from Vietnamese waters,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Le Thi Thu Hang tweeted.

“The ship (Haiyang Dizhi 8) continues to infringe Vietnam’s sovereignty, sovereign rights, EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) and continental shelf,” she added, having already expressed Hanoi’s opposition to the passage of Chinese ships on Thursday.

requirement would India be required to scale back its military presence, while being allowed to maintain some for defence.

Pakistan has not been able to address the Council directly on the Kashmir issue and its request for an open session has been turned down. Lodhi now tried to address the Council at the Assembly.

She said: “The Security Council must act, by demanding India to lift the curfew and end the communication blackout, allow the people to exercise all their rights including the right of peaceful assembly; release all those detained and all political prisoners; halt human rights violations, including the use of force against unarmed demonstrators, and use of pellet guns and live ammunition.” The August 16 Council consultations on Kashmir held at China’s behest were a closed-door affair and Pakistan could not attend it.

nternational pop star Dua Lipa has expressed excitement over her firstever live concert in India. “(I am) So excited to perform in India for the first time ever. I’m excited to get back on stage, (and) I feel like it’s going to be such a fun night,” the “one kiss” hitmaker told IANS. In August, we had reported that Dua Lipa might join pop star Katy Perry as headline acts at the OnePlus Music Festival, set to take place on Saturday, November 16 at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai.

Now, the singer confirms to us that she is indeed coming to India for her firstever performance.

A teaser announcing the one-day music extravaganza was launched in July, and it was subsequently confirmed that it would take place at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai -- incidentally, the venue where pop sensation Justin Bieber had performed a while back.

The time, the stadium is set to host Dua Lipa along with Katy Perry.

Speaking about the music festival, Carl Pei, co-

founder, OnePlus said: “We are super excited that Dua Lipa will also be performing in the first-ever OnePlus Music Festival in India! The addition of Dua completes the International Festival music offering. We will be announcing additional music from India soon. This festival will truly be a one of a kind experience for our Indian community”.

The 24-year-old English singer-songwriter Dua Lipa made her debut in 2015 with the single “New Love”.

By the time her second hit, “Be the one” was released, she was already on way to becoming a global sensation. “One Kiss”, her 2018 single with Calvin Harris sclaed the top spot in the UK charts. Over the years, she has featured on the US Billboard Hot 100 and also topped the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart, and she has entered the the UK Top 10 several times. A winner of multiple awards including the Grammy and the BRIT Awards, she has collaborated with big names including Sean Paul, Calvin Harris and Diplo. (IANS)

et another stor y from the “Game Of Thrones” universe is all set to come alive, with HBO giving the green signal to a prequel that will focus on House Targaryen.

The cable network will soon be closing the deal on a pilot order for a prequel set 300 years before the events of the flagship series, which tracks the beginnings and the end of House Targaryen, reports “hollywoodreporter. com”. It is also reported that Ryan Condal, along with “Game Of Thrones” author George RR Martin, will pen the script for the prequel, which is based on Martin’s book “Fire & Blood”.

The book narrates stories of previous Targaryen kings, like Aegon -- the first ruler of Westeros -- and Aegon the Dragonbane -- the ancestors of Daenerys Targaryen (essayed

by Emilia Clarke) and Jon Snow (Kit Harington) in the hit series.

The Targaryen prequel is not one of the previously reported prequels that had been in the works at HBO since 2017. HBO first announced four prequel series in the works and added a fifth later on.

Would love to direct, produce a Horror movie: Kirk

M

ETALLICA guitarist Kirk Hammett recently discussed his love of horror films with Neil Shukla, Paul Luis and Mark Hebert of the Toronto musical instrument superstore Cosmo Music.

The five-part “Rockstars In Cars” interview can be viewed below. A few excerpts follow.

On the classic horror movies he’d most recommend: Kirk: “The first ‘Frankenstein’ movie is incredible, and holds up even tho this day in terms of atmosphere and story and pure creepiness. The first ‘Dracula’ movie holds up in terms of story, and Bela Lugosi is the Count Dracula. His performance of Dracula, there’s nothing that ever topped it. There’s people who have played Dracula since Lugosi and do a really, really great job, but Bela Lugosi will always be the guy... I would also say ‘The Mummy’. That movie, it’s great. It has a subplot of reincarnation and another subplot of romance. I can do without the romance part...

[Boris] Karloff ’s portrayal of Imhotep, the reincarnated version of the mummy, is so evil and so creepy. It’s amazing.”

On whether he’d ever want to direct or produce a horror film: Kirk: “Absolutely. I’ve just got to get my shit together. I have to prioritize, and at this time, music means so much to me and is an obvious strength for me.

But I think I could make a really incredible horror film.

One, I need to find the time.

Two, I need to find someone else’s money. I already have the soundtrack, so part of the work is already done.

[Scoring it] would be a huge pleasure for me. I’ve just got to get it together and find a script and start doing all the groundwork — and that’s a

New cancer treatment prevents hair loss from chemotherapy

A

novel method discovered recently by a group of researchers, including one of Indian-origin, shows how hair loss from chemotherapy can be prevented during cancer treatment in patients, arguably one of the most psychologically distressing side effects of modern cancer therapy.

The study published in the journal EMBO Molecular Medicine describes how damage to the hair follicles caused by taxanes, cancer drugs which can cause permanent hair loss, can be prevented.

To do this, the research team has exploited the properties of a newer class of drugs called CDK4/6 inhibitors, which block cell division and are already medically approved as socalled “targeted” cancer therapies.

“Although at first, this seems counterintuitive, we found that CDK4/6 inhibitors can be used temporarily to halt cell division without promoting additional toxic K Y M C

effects in the hair follicle.

When we bathed organcultured human scalp hair follicles in CDK4/6 inhibitors, the hair follicles were much less susceptible to the damaging effects of taxanes,” study lead author Talveen Purba from the University of Manchester said.

Taxanes are very important anti-cancer drugs commonly used to treat, for example, patients with breast or lung carcinoma and particularly cause anxieties among breast cancer patients for the very distressing and sometimes long-lasting hair loss taxanes can induce.

“A pivotal part of our study was to first get to grips with how exactly hair follicles responded to taxane chemotherapy, and we found that the specialised dividing cells at the base of the hair follicle that are critical for producing hair itself, and the stem cells from which they arise, are most vulnerable to taxanes.

lot of work. Ask Slash; ask Rob Zombie... If I decided to remake a film, I would not water it down like so many other people do these days. The new ‘Pet Sematary’ is so watered down; the ‘Evil Dead’ remake was so watered down.”

On how horror influences his writing: Kirk: “It’s real general.

I wish I could say that this movie is responsible for this song or this riff or whatever, but seeing these movies engulfed me in an overall emotion that’s the same sort of emotion I get when I’m playing my guitar and I’m composing. I’m just a prod-

uct of minor-scale darkness, so when I write music, some of it sounds like the stuff of nightmares. I write a lot of atmospheric stuff; I write a lot of stuff that could be in soundtracks and stored away just in case I need to use it for a soundtrack sometime.

I have tons of music that I’m just setting aside for soundtracks. It is the thing of nightmares. It comes out of a really deep black hole in my soul, and I’m totally fine with it, because it gives me comfort. I like flatted fifths; I like minor scales, diminished scales, augmented scales; I like minor sevenths and sixths and ninths. I get tired of playing power chords and open chords. I’m all about suspensions. I think it’s a better mirror of my life and how I am inside. I went on an experiment one time to try to write something happy without being obviously happy, and it just didn’t happen. I listened to it, and even though it was in a major key, it still sounded somewhat sorrowful. There’s still tension to it. I really, really tried to write something uplifting, like how Bach can uplift someone... I can’t do that.

It all sounds like the end of the world.”

The Beatles’ Strawberry Fields opened as tourist attraction

S

trawberry Fields, the Salvation Army gardens immortalised by The Beatles on ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’ is opening as a public tourist attraction for the first time.

Opening tomorrow (September 14), the gardens will be available for the public to visit alongside a new visitor’s centre, cafe and shop. There will also be a new interactive exhibition about John Lennon’s early life and The Beatles for fans to visit.

The site of a former children’s home, John Lennon reportedly “found sanctuary” in the gardens of the Strawberry Field in Woolton, Liverpool, when he was growing up.

Until now, 60,000 fans visiting the site have only been able to look through the red gates and into the gardens.

Speaking to the BBC, Lennon’s sister, Julia Baird, said as a child, Lennon would climb over the wall and into “his special place” in Strawbeerty Field gardens.

“As children we all have somewhere that’s a bit ours, a bit special.”

On Instagram, the pop star described her experience helming the soundtrack “the coolest fucking thing in the world.”

“It’s a revelation,” Lewisohn told The Guardian. “The books have always told us that they knew ‘Abbey Road’ was their last album and they wanted to go out on an artistic high. But no – they’re discussing the next album. And you think that John is the one who wanted to break them up but, when you hear this, he isn’t. Doesn’t that rewrite pretty much everything we thought we knew?”

Southgate to appear in Grylls’ ‘Mission Bear’ on September 16

E

ngland football team manager Gareth Southgate will be seen in an episode of Mission Bear along with survivalist and adventurer Bear Grylls on Monday, a Discovery channel India statement said.

The programme will be aired at 9 p.m. on Discovery Channel and Discovery HD world. Southgate, who coached England to the semifinals of the World Cup last year, had once taken the squad to Dartmoor, a military training terrain for the marines and the commandos of the Royal army, the navy and the Royal Air Force of England.

The English football manager had decided to let the team train with the Royal Marines ahead of their World Cup campaign in Russia. “Yeah, people talk a lot about pressure in our field we wanted the lads to see something different and, and realize that our pressure isn’t really as extreme as other people. “But also the Marines, their pride in the Green Beret, the pride in the badge - we have the three lions,” Southgate was quoted as saying in the statement.

The soundtrack will be released November 1 on Republic Records.

Cyrus, Grande and Del Rey have all been busy on the music front. Cyrus recently released the single ‘Slide Away’, while last month Grande released ‘Boyfriend’, a joint single with production duo Social House.

On the other hand, Del Rey just put out ‘Norman Fucking Rockwell!’, her sixth studio album led by the single and Sublime cover ‘Doin’ Time’. She also recently nodded to Grande by covering the latter’s single ‘Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I’m Bored’ in the BBC Live Lounge.

Banks’ remake of Charlie’s Angels stars Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska as the titular trio. Noah Centineo and Sam Claflin have also been cast. It’s due for release on November 15 in the US, and November 29 in the UK. (NME)

New Delhi, Sep 13 (PTI): World junior champion Hima Das’ participation in the World Championships relay events became a matter of intense speculation on Friday after she was left out of the initial entries even though her name can still be added by September 16.

The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) had on September 9 named seven women, including Hima, for the 4x400m relay and 4x400m mixed relay races.

But it is learnt that Hima’s name was missing in the initial entry of Indian women athletes for the two relay races submitted by AFI to the IAAF for the September 27 to October 6 showpiece event in Doha.

Jisna Mathew, MR Poovamma, Revathi Veeramani, Subha Venkatesan, V K Vismaya and Ramraj

Hima Das

Vithya have been entered for the women’s 4x400m relay, while Hima’s name is missing. The 19-year-old Assamese runner was also not entered for the 4x400m relay race. Jisna, Poovamma and Vismaya were named along with Jacob Amoj, Muhammed Anas and Noah Tom Nirmal.

The AFI has till September 16 midnight to include Hima in the two relay teams in place of another runner but not after that.

We the undersigned on behalf of the Sunglup Village give Glory and Honour to our Almighty God and expresses our heartiest congratulations to Dr. Aabon Yanthan, S/o Wobemo Yanthan, first Ph. D from Sunglup Village, for successfully completing Ph. D from "INDIAN AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE" in "POST HARVEST TECHNOLOGY".

We the Sunglup Village is proud of his achievement and wish him the very best in his future endeavours.

The IAAF allows only six names to be entered for the relay races but the AFI had named seven women.

The non-inclusion of Hima in the initial list has put a question mark on her participation as she has been suffering from a lower back pain after the Asian Games last year. She pulled out of the individual 400m heats during the Asian Championships in Doha in April midway through the race.

At that time, deputy chief coach Radhakrishnan Nair had said that the injury was a lower back spasm (at L4 and L5, two lowest vertebrae in the lumbar spine).

Even during her ongoing training stint in Europe, as part of preparations for the World Championships, she has run just one 400m race as she is learnt to be in pain while running longer

distances. Between July 2 and 20, Hima won four gold medals in 200m and one yellow metal in 400m at subpar races in Europe.

AFI president Adille Sumariwalla said he is not aware of any decision on Hima’s participation in the World Championships.

“I have no information of Hima’s latest condition as she is in Europe. There is a doctor with the team in Europe and if she is not fully fit she will not take part (in the World Championships).

“If she runs and pulls out midway, the (relay) team will suffer. She will have to be fit to run the race. Also, she is just 20 and it is better to preserve her for the Olympics. She is young and talented and she will peak by the time of 2024 Olympics, so we should not put undue pressure on her,” he said.

The Lothatsu Shitiri Ekhung have the pleasure to extend our heartiest congratulations to our dearest Dr. Augustine Shitiri on his selection to undergo Special Course in Urology.

The Shitiri Ekhung prays in our deepest heart to Almighty God to guide all through his future endeavors.

Hong Kong, Sep 13 (IANS): The Hong Kong Open tennis tournament, which was scheduled to take place from October 5 to 13, has been postponed indefinitely because of the ongoing protests in the city.

Hong Kong has for months been rocked by increasingly violent protests, triggered by an extradition bill. The bill has now been withdrawn but the protests have continued and have grown to reflect wider demands for democratic reform, reports the BBC. “In light of the present situation, Hong Kong Tennis Association (HKTA) and the WTA (Women’s Tennis Association) are announcing a postponement of the 2019 Hong Kong Tennis Open,” said HKTA in a media statement on Friday.

They said they were in “active discussion” to find a later date for the tournament.

Two-time Olympic medallist Sushil has been struggling of late and is returning to the Worlds after a gap of eight years.

He will be watched keenly in the 74kg competition as his relevance is being discussed for some time now.

He remains bullish about his chances and Worlds will provide an opportunity to test his claims.

Like Sushil, Rio Olympics bronze medallist Sakshi Malik has been struggling on the international circuit.

Bajrang Punia

The big-stage competition will help her make an assessment on this count as she eyes a maiden Worlds medal. A last-minute elbow injury had forced her to optout of the Budapest Championships last year.

No Indian woman has ever won a gold at the Worlds and Vinesh has it in her to end India’s drought.

Bajrang has been in the form of his life but there is a chink in his armour – the weak leg defence – and it will surely be tested.

Only Sushil Kumar has won a World title in men’s freestyle in India’s wrestling history and Bajrang would be keen to end India’s wait for a second medal.

The 25-year-old himself has two World Championship medals but not a gold. His road though is full

has been her best show.

She had stunned reigning world champion Petra Olli before eventually settling for a silver.

Not being able to handle pressure has been her bane for long. Staying defensive in the final moments of the bout has not helped her and she has lost a few bouts from advantageous position lot of time.

Divya Kakran, in contrast, is a bundle of energy and remains relentless throughout her bouts. She has won two gold and as many bronze medals this season and looks hungry for more.

Pooja Dhanda, who became only the fourth Indian woman to win a medal at the Worlds last year, could not book a berth in 57kg, which is an Olympic category but will fight for her second medal in 59kg.

It will be interesting to see how Sarita Mor, who shocked Pooja in trials, fares. Among other men’s freestyle grapplers, Deepak Punia is capable of springing a surprise. He is heading into the Championships after becoming India’s first junior World champion in 18 years.

All eyes on Bajrang, Vinesh at Worlds

N u r - S u ltan ( K a zakhstan), Sep 13 (PTI): A reality check awaits India’s top wrestlers at the World Championships where they will chase not only glory but also Tokyo Olympics qualification, here from Saturday.

The r un-up to the Worlds has been spectacular for Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat while decent results have provided a dose of confidence to a few others like Divya Kakran.

Bajrang triumphed at all four events he competed this season -- Dan Kolov, Asian Championship Ali Aliev and Yasar Dogu -- and will go into the Championships as the world number one and top seed in 65kg.

For Vinesh, the season began in a new weight category as she moved up to 53kg from 50kg.

She took some time to settle in her new class but still made five finals, winning three golds – Yasar Dogu, Grand Prix of Spain and Poland Open.

While skill is not an issue with Vinesh, holding off strong candidates for six minutes is a big challenge, she herself had admitted recently.
