Illegal tax collectors thwart PAC drive Staff Reporters

DIMAPUR, Sep 17 (NPN): A positive impact of the Public Action Committee’s (PAC) drive against illegal collections at various check gates on the first day Monday was the drastic drop in prices of some commodities such as potato which came down from Rs.20 per kg to around Rs.8 and Rs.10 per kg. More volunteers turned up to extend cooperation with PAC’s “Operation Check Gate� on Tuesday.

PAC functionaries expressed optimism that the continued efforts would result in reduction of prices of many other items such as MS rods, cement and granite and construction materials in the coming days.

On Tuesday, there were much less trucks since it being “Vishwakarma Puja� in comparison with the first day. However collectors of some departments were still collecting “royalty tax� over and above the prescribed fee.

At Dilai gate, DMC toll collectors, who were supposed to collect Rs. 350 per truck, Rs. 50 for toll and urban utility fees and Rs. 300 for toll and urban utility fees on goods entry, were collecting

DCCF demands shifting of DC office DIMAPUR, SEP 17 (NPN): Diphupar Communities Chairman Forum (DCCF) has urged the state government to expedite the process of shifting the present DC office Dimapur to its new office complex ChĂźmoukedima.

In a press release, DCCF convenor Vimhalie Medom and secretary Zuchumo Mozhui pointed out that it has been now a decade or more since land has been procured by the government and necessary infrastructures completed to accommodate the new office. They also said crores of rupees had been spent, but till now the DC office was yet to be shifted to its new complex ChĂźmoukedima.

Further, the forum said that the government’s “negligence and weakness� was holding it back from shifting the office for so long. “It is high time the Govt. put its act together and shifts the DC Office to its new complex at the earliest in the larger interest of the general public and also to save the infrastructures from rusts and ruins in particular,�

DCCF stated. The forum consist of nine communities -- Ao, Angami, Lotha, Sumi, Chakhesang, Rengma & Pochury, Eastern Naga Public Union Diphupar Area (ENPUDA), Tangkhul and Rongmei.

Rs. 1850 to Rs. 2050, as per truck. DMC Superintendent, Ganesh Sharma, who was present at the site maintained that DMC has issued strict and clear instructions to collectors and lease contractors to collect only the prescribed rates as approved by the government.

He however added that DMC was in no way involved in the racket for the high rates charged by the lease contractors. Sharma reiterated that any lease contractors involved in overtaxing would face legal action for violation of the contract.

This Reporter was told that the DMC lease contractors( DMC fee collectors) charge extra amount in a daily market just some yards beyond Naglaand gate (in Karbi

Anglong) without issuing any challan receipt at the counter.

PAC lodged FIR at west Police Station, complaining of higher rates being collected over and above rate fixed by DMC for its lease contractors.

PAC identified those involved as - Sanjay, r/o Burma Camp; Arup, r/o, Rail Colony; Inoto, r/o, Sematilla; Okito, r/o, Burma Camp and Hokoho, r/o, Sematilla.

Recently posted DMC Administrator Albert Ezung, who was also present at the site, said he was unaware about any extra fee being charged by the DMC leases as he was yet to receive any formal complaint.

Ezung however main-

tained that the system of tax collection of DMC was transparent by mentioning that the DMC toll tax signboard, displaying various types and amounts of tax, were put up for public notice which the drivers were to pay accordingly. He maintained that this was the system that was supposed to be followed.

On the PAC’s FIR lodged against the DMC leasees, he said the matter was now out of his hand and that competent authority would handle it accordingly. Vice president, NCD and co convenor, PAC, K. Ghokheto Chophy, warned volunteers that none of them had the authority to shut down or stop departments from collecting ‘royalty/ tax’. He said the volunteers were only to top illegal collection of extra money and not to shut down any office.

Chophy however reminded that if departments were collecting extra amount, evidence were to be kept and FIR to be lodged.

Second day of PAC’s “operation check gate� passed off peacefully without any untoward incidents till the time of filing this report.

PAC press briefing

MUMBAI, SEP 17 (AGENCIES): Spiralling global oil prices sharply drove up the cost of petrol and diesel, and sent Indian market indices tumbling down on Monday.

Sensex tanked 642.22 points to end at 36,481.09 and Nifty lost 185.90 points to 10,817.60 points as oil prices rose after drone attacks on two of Saudi Arabia’s major oil ports.

The broader NSE Nifty too settled 185.90 points, or 1.69 per cent, down at 10,817.60.

On the Sensex chart, losses were mainly driven by Hero MotoCorp, Tata Motors, Axis Bank, Tata Steel, Maruti and SBI—falling as much as 6.19 per cent.

Of the 30 scrips of the BSE gauge, HUL, Asian Paints and Infosys were the three gainers. Investors were spooked by geopolitical uncertainties over the Saudi oil turmoil amid reports that higher oil prices were likely to severely hit economic conditions in India, which (Cont’d on p-7) imports more than 70 per

On the second day of the week-long ‘Operation Check Gate’ spearheaded

by Public Action Committee (PAC) of Naga Council Dimapur (NCD) Tuesday against unauthorised and illegal tax collections, the efforts were hampered due to factors that had not been foreseen. This became evident during the media briefing held by PAC when its Convenor Vekhosayi Nyekha admitted that the ‘tax collectors’ had devised a way by which check points were established along roads within Dimapur in order to avoid check gates manned

by PAC volunteers.

Further, he disclosed that while the PAC volunteers with police manned the check gates from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. police permitted commercial vehicles to enter Dimapur before 5 a.m. Then later when PAC volunteers began vigil from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., the commercial vehicles were allowed entry after 10 p.m. Nyekha also informed that PAC has been receiving tremendous support and contributions even from other districts.

Now, key functionaries, office bearers and members of NGOs, receiving foreign funds, will have to declare before the government that they were not prosecuted or convicted for converting anyone from one faith to another.

The Ministry has announced in a notification that the changes in the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010 and Rules, 2011 (FCRA), has been made.

Any individual receiving a personal gift valued up to Rs 1 lakh need not inform the government about it anymore.

Key Highlights • Every member of an NGO must also now, under oath, through an affidavit, certify that they have never been involved in “divertingâ€? foreign funds or propagating “seditionâ€? or “advocating violent meansâ€?. • Earlier, the applicant or director-level person was to given

The act was majorly modified in 2010 with several amendments because many NGOs were found using illegal use of foreign funding.

In 2016 license of about 20,000 NGOs were cancelled after reviewing their work.

Global oil prices drive up petrol, diesel; Sensex tumbles

DIMAPUR, SEP 17 (NPN): Business Association of Nagas (BAN) has proposed a centralised tax collection system with online payment facility in the State and suggested the government to authorise a particular department or agency to collect taxes on behalf of various departments.

The association in a statement pointed out that developing a centralised tax collection system with online payment facility would not only streamline taxation and ensure that taxes collected reached the State exchequer, but also drastically eliminate unnecessary and multiple taxation by various departments. Further, this would discourage unwanted organisations and associations from collecting taxes, it added.

BAN explained that goods-carrying vehicles stopped at various points not only encouraged multiple taxation for the same commodities, but also made it convenient for various unscrupulous individuals and organisations to levy taxes. As currently many taxes were levied by departments at various check points, the association wondered if collection of some of these taxes was legal, especially in the backdrop of GST norms. Moreover, a major part of these collections did not reach the State exchequer, it alleged. Streamlining of taxation system was necessary for development and overall growth of the State’s economy, BAN stressed.

IMPHAL, Sep 17: At least 10 houses were burnt down by armed miscreants at a village in Manipur’s Senapati district, which police have attributed to long existing inter-village land dispute.

Irate villagers imposed a snap bandh along the Imphal-Dimapur section of NH-2 forcing hundreds of vehicles to remain stranded.

The highway was opened following intervention by state tribal affairs minister.

As per reports, armed miscreants suspected to be volunteers of Maram Khullen Circle Union (MKCU) intruded into Makhan Khuman village under Tadubi police station, Senapati district and set afire to houses Tuesday at around 4am. The suspects were armed with sophisticated arms, local reports alleged.

Houses at Makhan Khuman village in Senapati district set afire by armed miscreants on Tuesday. (NP)

Villagers of Maram have been confronted by their neighbouring villages of Makhan over the ownership of lands at the border between the two villages for the last over 40 years and clashes among the villagers were reportedly occasionally.

Police as well as local

reports stated that the armed suspects stormed Makhan Khuman village in the early hour and set afire houses in the village. At least 10 houses were razed in the arson, reducing properties worth lakhs of rupees to ashes.

After torching the houses, the miscreants also

set fire to a bridge on the highway at Makhan, destroying OFC cables of telecom service. The damage of telecom cables forced the shutdown of services, but was restored later in the afternoon.

Angered by burning of the houses, villagers of Makhan villages imposed

cent of its oil needs, experts said. The attack on the world’s largest oil processing facility in Saudi Arabia has led to a record surge in global crude prices.

After soaring as much as 20 per cent to USD 71.95 per barrel on Monday, Brent crude futures corrected slightly to trade at USD 67.97 per barrel on Tuesday. Higher import cost of oil could sharply worsen current account position, compress profit margins and raise inflation, a Nomura report said.

Tracking the move-

ment in oil prices, the rupee further depreciated by 37 paise (intra-day) to trade at 71.97 per US dollar.

Market participants were also on edge awaiting cues from the upcoming trade talks between China and the US as well as a much-anticipated policy meeting of the Federal Reserve, scheduled to begin later in the day.

Elsewhere in Asia, Shanghai Composite Index and Hang Seng ended significantly lower, while Nikkei and Kospi settled in the green.

ZRLWC seeks rly LSC calls for exempting line demarcation CIHSR staff from taxation

KOHIMA, SEP 17 (NPN): Zubza Railway Link Welfare Committee (ZRLWC) has requested the railway authority to give a demarcation point/line at both ends of the breadth for the entire stretch of New Railway BG Line from Dhansiri to Zubza.

In a press release, ZRLWC secretary Neidilhoutuo SechĂź appreciated the department for not delaying the compensation to the landowners. However, the committee stated that the landowners were still confused as to how much land the railways have acquired, especially the space covering the breadth. In this regard, the welfare committee has asked the department to give demarcation line as some of the landowners after knowing the breadth wished to carry out their own personal activities in their land that has not been acquired by the department.

a total blockade along the highway under the aegis of Makhan People Organisation (MPO).

They demanded immediate arrest of the miscreants responsible for burning of the houses.

The blockade was, however, suspended after a talk with state tribal affairs N Kayishii who rushed to village.

Earlier, the villagers demanded booking of miscreants within 24 hours. In case of failure to arrest the culprits, they threatened to impose an indefinite blockade on the highway.

Meanwhile, the home department has deployed one platoon of armed IRB personnel to protect the villagers. Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh, who termed the incident as unfortunate, said more forces would be sent if required.

DIMAPUR, SEP 17 (NPN): Local Support Committee (LSC) of Christian Institute of Health Sciences and Research (CIHSR), Diphupar, Dimapur has appealed to everyone to refrain from demanding tax from the functionary and workers of the hospital. In view of the recent demand for cash from some staff and collecting contact numbers of management’s members, LSC reminded all of the recent agreement and commitment made by various Naga national groups. Instead, committee chairman Rev Dr Phuveyi Dozo, secretary Rev Dr Rabi Pame and member Rev Dr N Toshi Ao, in a joint statement, called for strengthening the institution to promote health welfare of the people. According to LSC, during its initial stage and till its objective was fully understood, CIHSR faced demand for cash and percent deduction from various Naga national groups. But with hope, the committee claimed of having taken initiatives and negotiated with all groups with much prayer. Thanking God and appreciating all groups for understanding the purpose of CIHSR and exempting it from taxation, LSC asserted that the institute would continue its development undisturbed and unhindered.

It also acknowledged cooperation of the groups in the journey of the institute founded on Christian principles to help the needy and poor.

ZPO rejects its dissolution by ‘paid gathering of people’

DIMAPUR, SEP 17 (NPN): Sharply reacting to the dissolution of two ZPOs by the general convention of Zeliang people at Jalukie town on September 13, 2019, the Zeliang People’s Organisation (ZPO) Tuesday termed as “simply nothing more than unethical� the statement issued by Tumda Newme and Khenglubo “who respectively are stated to be the sessional chairman and sessional secretary of a paid gathering of people�.

In a press release, ZPO president Ramdi Meru and general secretary Kiepeube Zehuny asserted that ZPO was a principled and mandated apex organisation of the Zeliang tribe of Nagaland. They said ZPO has been representing its people in all manners of activities and given due recognition by all tribes and also the government of Nagaland.

ZPO said it would continue to represent the Zeliang tribe with all dignity and satisfaction in all platforms even in the days to come. “This right of the ZPO brought into being for sheer selfless sacrifice in the service for the welfare of the Zeliang people is absolute and therefore neither challengeable nor negotiable,� the organisation asserted.

According to ZPO, the delusion that the Zeme Council and Liangmai Council could meddle in the affairs of the ZPO, and “imprudently go further� to declare its dissolution was the “pinnacle of absurdity of the outlook of that paid gathering�. ZPO alleged that onus of misleading the two “respectable councils� was entirely attributable to the “wayward� and present executive of the Zeliang Welfare Society (ZWS). The organisation claimed that ZWS was previously constituted by ZPO to look after the management of the Zeliang building in Dimapur, but “have never come back to the terms and language of the ZPO.� Stating that its conviction was upholding the inherent rights and protecting the indigenous Zeliang people of Nagaland, ZPO has, therefore, affirmed that should any further confusion be created in any manner by people of vested interests it would “seek to befittingly address routing a means of serving legal notice to end all menace.�

NE leaders greet PM th Modi on his 69 birthday

Deb backs Shah’s ‘one nation, one language’ call Agartala, Sep 17 (IANS): Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb has supported Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s call for ‘one nation, one language’ and said he didn’t believe English language was the only key to development.

Addressing a function here on Monday, the Chief Minister said, “There are examples of successful countries, like Japan, Russia, Germany and France, which grew without the help of English.” Those who couldn’t speak English should not be belittled as it was not the only factor to attain success in life, the Chief Minister said. Shah said on Saturday a common language would become “the mark of India’s global identity.” Speaking at a function on the occasion of “Hindi Diwas”, Shah urged people to use Hindi more often to help fulfil dreams of Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel of ‘one nation, one language’.

Narendra Modi (File) I join millions in wishing a very happy birthday to PM @narendramodi ji. The architect of #NewIndia, Modi ji’s leadership has put India’s assertive footprint in the global arena & shattered our enemies.

IMPHAL, Sep 17: As per the latest stats, 77 lives were claimed in 346 road mishaps in a span of six months, from January to June this year, and 556 persons were injured in Manipur.

“This is a matter of concern,” said Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh who attended the ‘Road Safety Awareness Programme on Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act, 2019 in Imphal’s ISBT Complex on Tuesday.

Singh expressed the urgent need for strict scrutiny of identities before issuing driving license to applicants and checking import of cheap pre-owned vehicles to the state.

The chief minister who also holds the charge of transport portfolio as well as chairman of State Level Road Safety Council, asked officials concerned of the state transport department to be careful in issuing driving license as it is an important identity document.

They should strictly scrutinise identities of applicants before issuing driving license because it may be used as a legal document by illegal migrants to even claim to be natives of the state, he said.

He warned that no official found indulging in

Tarun Gogoi criticises Centre for Centre to open Advanced slapping PSA on Farooq Abdullah Landing Ground in Arunachal GUWAHATI, SEP 17 (PTI): Senior Assam Congress leader Tarun Gogoi Tuesday criticised the Centre slapping the stringent Public Safety Act (PSA) on National Conference chairman Farooq Abdullah and called it a blatant misuse of power.

This step by the Centre, which allows authorities to detain an individual for six months without trial, is a threat to the survival of democracy in the country, Gogoi, who is the former Assam chief minister, said in a statement here.

The arrest of the ailing octogenarian Kashmir leader has violated constitutional provisions of liberty and dignity of every citizen of the country, he said.

Abdullah, a three-term chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, five-time parliamentarian and a former union minister, was slapped with the PSA on Monday and his residence at Srinagar was declared a jail. He had

Mangaldoi (Assam), Sep 17 (PTI): A case has been filed against a police officer for allegedly torturing three women inside a police station in Assam’s Darrang district, police said Tuesday.

The women were picked up from their home in Guwahati in connection with a kidnapping case involving their brother and were brought to Burha police outpost at Mangaldoi on September 9, Darrang district superintendent of police Amrit Bhuyan said.

The three were released after their brother and the woman he had allegedly kidnapped surrendered at the police outpost. The women later alleged in a complaint to the police superintendent that they were assaulted and tortured by the in-charge of the police outpost, Mahendra Sarma and had been wounded severely.

Bhuyan said that an inquiry has been ordered into the allegations of use of “excess force” by Sarma.

The medical examination of the women had been carried out and the report is yet to be received, the SP said. “If the inquiry points to use of excess force, then necessary action will be taken against the police official,” he added.

dense forest cover which encompasses the locality and the adjacent inter-district bordering areas like Kaki reserve forest and Samuguri locality which are sparsely populated. These areas serve as an ideal hideout and as dungeon of the hostages for militants. Mention may be made here that before this incident number of similar incident had taken place in and around Dokmoka.

As per unsubstantiated source, in each incident, the victim families were compelled to pay heavy ransom for the safe return of the victims. Head of the institution Thong Nok Bey College, Proprietor of the local filling station, petty businessman of Phuloni locality Babul Debnath and another businessman of Langhing were kidnapped by turns within interval of two to three months.

Meanwhile, police have achieved considerable success in the counter insurgency operation- around 30 militants have been arrested, around 28 arms and 180 rounds of assorted ammunitions, large number of mobile handsets and SIM have been seized from them.

Tarun Gogoi (File) been under detention since August 5, the day the Centre abrogated the special status of J&K under Article 370.

“The situation has become so serious that even the Supreme Court had to intervene and ask the Centre to restore normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir as soon as possible,” Gogoi claimed. The apex court had on Monday asked the Centre and Jammu and Kashmir administration to make all endeavours to restore normalcy in Kashmir valley as soon as possible.

Gogoi said the mishandling of the situation in J&K

has led to further deterioration in the state of affairs in that state as restrictions and curbs on rights and privileges of the people along with detention of political leaders continue.

“This has further alientated the people of Jammu and Kashmir and also provided oxygen to Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan to ensure his survival,” he claimed.

The abrogation of Article 370 and decision to split the northern most state into two parts - the union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh without taking the stakeholders into confidence is contrary to the basic principles of democracy, Gogoi said.

“Such an arbitrary decision in a democratic country like India is not a healthy sign. The BJP government may have got the mandate but it should not misuse its power. It should have taken the opposition parties into confidence,” he said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi being garlanded Gujarat Governor Acharya Devvrat and Chief Minister Vijay Rupani during a welcome ceremony on the occasion of his birthday at Kevadiya in Narmada district, Tuesday. (PTI)

of a young Modi meeting soldiers at Vadnagar railway station while he was selling tea, during the 1962 Indo-China war. The second chapter deals with the indecisiveness of “young Narendra” when he was searching for a way to serve the country and was undecided on whether to become

a saint or a soldier. How he wandered in the Himalayas and his keen interest in writing finds mention in this chapter. “Even as a child, he wrote a play called ‘Peelu Phool’ which emphasized on transcending caste barriers,” says the booklet.

It also recounts his early tryst with elections for

the Ahmedabad civic body in 1987 and the Gujarat Assembly polls in 1990.

Chapter three is all about the Modi of Gujarat.

How Gujarat was turned around, how its economy was put on a growth trajectory under his chief ministership, how in spite of being a new administrator he dealt

No tree felling in Aarey for Mumbai enlists Japan’s help to metro car shed till Sep 30: HC build rainwater storage facilities

Aarey Colony which adjoins Sanjay Gandhi National Park is known as a major green lung of the metropolis.

MUMBAI, SEP 17 (PTI): The Bombay High Court on Tuesday said no trees shall be cut in Aarey Colony in north Mumbai to make way for Metro car shed till September 30 when it will hear a petition challenging proposed felling of over 2,600 trees in the area.

Activist Zoru Bathena has filed a petition challenging the civic Tree Authority’s approval on August 29 for felling trees for the car shed.

Aarey Colony which adjoins Sanjay Gandhi National Park is known as a major green lung of the metropolis.

M U M B A I , S EP 1 7 (AGENCIES): Mumbai’s civic body has sought the help of Japanese experts to help build massive underground storage facilities to hold rain water that would otherwise flood the city, reports Tribune News Service.

According to officials here, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has called for experts from a Japanese company, Pacific Consultants Co Ltd, which had built underground silos in Tokyo to hold rain water that was then gradually released into the sea.

“Unlike in Tokyo we are considering holding rainwater in underground tanks that would then be filtered and used for drinking,” Mumbai’s municipal commissioner Praveen Pardeshi told reporters here.

Construction of huge underground storage tanks to hold excess rainwater that would otherwise flood the city was one of the suggestions mooted in the wake of severe flooding in Mumbai this year. BMC officials say

two experts from Tokyo are presently in Mumbai to study the topography of flood-hit areas of Mumbai and suggest various measures. ”The two experts from Japan are visiting various flood-prone areas of Mumbai, including the Mithi river and the Tulsi and Vihar lakes,” Additional Municipal Commissioner Vijay Singhal, who is in charge of the storm water drainage department said. Civic officials say rainwater collected in low-lying areas of Mumbai cannot be pumped into the sea during high tide.

Diverting floodwater to underground tanks is expected to mitigate flooding.

According to officials here, massive underground rainwater storage tanks have been planned in various areas of Mumbai like Bhandup and Mulund.

BMC officials quote Japanese experts as saying that five underground tanks store storm water in Tokyo’s Kasukabe area, which is then gradually discharged into the Edo river to prevent flooding in urban areas.

It also talks about the introduction of solar power, water grid and the Sabarmati river front in the western state. It could not be complete without the mention of his contribution to the Sardar Sarovar Dam, which he visited even on Tuesday.

The last and final chapter is about Narendra Modi since 2014 when he came to power at the Centre with a landslide victory and the ‘many firsts’ he introduced.

The order to form a SIT on black money, clearing the long pending demand of One Rank One Pension (OROP), building a War Memorial in remembrance of the martyrs, his flagship Swachh Bharat Mission, and universal electrification are some of the key achievements that are listed.

While many of the claims here, including anecdotes from Modi’s childhood, are made to give the Indian Prime Minister a larger than life image, the digital template is made keeping in mind Modi’s vision of ‘Digital India’.

Navy to commission second Scorpene submarine on Sept 28 NEW DELHI, SEP 17 (AGENCIES): The Navy will commission the second Scorpene submarine on September 28. The same day, the next generation of warships called ‘Nilgiri class’ will be sea-launched and the dry dock for aircraft carriers will be commissioned, reports Tribune News Service.

Vice Admiral G Ashok Kumar, Vice Chief of the Navy, speaking to the media on Tuesday, said this is part of the expansion plan to make it a 175-platform Navy.

The same day, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will be with the Navy on board sea-borne aircraft INS Vikramaditya. He will witness firing and operations on board the lead warship, a 47,000-tonne behemoth that can launch MiG-29K fighter jets from its deck and make them land on deck.

Dam filled ‘before schedule’ for Modi’s b’day: MP Min here.

Sardar Sarovar Dam (File)

Bhopal, Sep 17 (PTI): Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Bala Bachchan on Tuesday claimed that the Sardar Sarovar Dam was filled up to the full reservoir level “ahead of its schedule” to facilitate celebration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday at the dam site.

He said this disturbed the relief and rehabilitation works under way in the Madhya Pradesh areas submerged under the dam water.

Modi, who turned 69 on Tuesday, arrived at Kevadiya in Gujarat in the

morning to take part in the ‘Namami Narmada’ festival being celebrated by the western state’s government to mark the filling up of the Sardar Sarovar Dam to its full reservoir level of 138.68 metres.

Bachchan claimed that according to the Narmada Control Authority’s schedule, the dam was to be filled up to its full reservoir level by mid-October.

“However, it was filled to the full level nearly a month ahead of its schedule so that the Prime Minister could celebrate his birthday at the site,” he told reporters

This change of schedule had disturbed the relief and rehabilitation works under way in the areas submerged under the dam water in four districts of MP, he said.

“It would have been better if Modiji had paid attention to the Madhya Pradesh’s people affected due to the Sardar Sarovar Dam’s backwaters,” he said.

The Prime Minister should have sanctioned immediate relief to these people, he said, adding that the Centre earlier promised the state to ensure proper rehabilitation of the damaffected people “but it was not yet fulfilled”.

Residents of nearly 178 villages in MP’s Barwani, Dhar, Alirajpur and Khargone districts were affected

due to the dam’s backwaters, Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA) leader Medha Patkar told PTI on Monday.

She said they would protest in Barwani during Modi’s birthday celebration.

The NBA is demanding that the gates of the dam, built on the Narmada river, be opened immediately given that its backwaters had partially or fully flooded 178 villages in Madhya Pradesh.

The floodgates of the dam were closed on June 17, 2017, 56 years after the foundation stone of the project was laid by then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.

For the first time since the height of the dam was raised in 2017, the water level reached its highest peak at 138.68 m on Sunday evening.

will be named Khanderi.

When asked if all issues like greater noise being made by the submarine had been resolved, the Vice Chief said all those issues were behind us. The project to make six submarines will cost Rs 25,000 crore.

The first one, Kalvari, was commissioned in December 2017. The remaining four were on schedule, the Vice Chief said.

Making these submarines is part of the 30-year submarine action plan to have 24 submarines by 2029. The project for making seven next-generation warships—the Niligiri

class—is a follow-up to the Shivalik class with better radars, firing ability and greater stealth features.

The first warship will get launched at sea. All seven, costing Rs 48,000 crore, will be commissioned between 2022 and 2025.

The ships are being made using modular construction; that is, several parts are made at different places and then integrated. MDL is making four of these while the Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers, Kolkata, is making three vessels. The money will be spent over the next six years.

The dry dock for aircraft carriers can even take in INS Vikramaditya. On the capital budget—used for new equipment, warships, UAVs and planes among other things—the Vice Chief said that in 2012-13, the Navy had a 18 per cent share in the capital budget, which had dropped down to 13.66 per cent.

New Delhi, Sep 17 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi got a “digital” gift from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on his 69th birthday on Tuesday.

The gift is a digital compilation of Modi’s journey so far divided into four chapters - “Childhood, young NaMo, Modi and For the first time since Independence”.

The childhood chapter recalls Modi’s childhood acts of bravery like anecdotes how he swam across a lake infested with crocodiles to hoist a flag on a temple while he was aged just seven or eight. “Even as a young boy, Narendra never thought of any work as ‘big’ or ‘small’,” claims the infographics titled “The Story of Mother India’s beloved son”.

Like most children, his mother instilled a sense of values in him. When he went on to become the Chief Minister of Gujarat for the first time, his mother asked him to promise not to take any bribe, claims the digital booklet.

Oil break on economy

t was not good news for India’s economy when international crude prices rose between 10% to 15% after drones destroyed Saudi Arabia’s Abqaiq and Khurias oil refineries belonging to Aramco, the state-owned company on September 14. India, the world’s third-largest oil importer, has a reason to worry as escalating geopolitical tensions in West Asia have raised the spectre of higher oil prices. At the sites, which account for over 5% of global oil supply, the attacks sparked massive fires that were visible from outer space. Saudi Arabia is the second-largest supplier of crude oil and cooking gas to India. Saudi Aramco has, however, assured India that it will honour its supply contracts despite the production cuts. In the aftermath of the attacks, analysts have forecast an increase in global oil prices of between 10% and 15%, even though immediate supply-side disruptions may be averted. International benchmark Brent crude futures soared as much as 19.5% to $71.95 per barrel. Some traders are speculating that oil prices may cross the $100 mark again. Crude prices hit a record $147 per barrel in July 2008. Higher import bills can potentially exacerbate the current slowdown in the Indian economy. The rise in oil import bills could further aggravate India’s fiscal situation and make it tougher for the government and the central bank to effectively combat a slowdown in economic growth.

According to industry sources, a dollar increase in the prices of oil raises import bills by around Rs.10,700 crore annually. India spent $111.9 billion on oil imports in 2018-19. The hikes are expected to hit price of petrol and diesel in the coming days. The surge in oil prices comes at a time when the Narendra Modi government is trying to boost the economy after GDP growth slumped to the slowest in more than six years.

An increase in inflation stoked by higher fuel prices will also leave less space for RBI to cut interest rates to combat the slowdown. India imports more than 80% of its oil requirements and around 18% of natural gas. So, the surge in crude oil prices could increase India’s expenditure, thus adversely affecting India’s fiscal deficit - the difference between the government’s total revenue and total expenditure. The rise in crude oil prices has a clear impact on the Indian rupee. On May 24, 2018, the rupee closed at Rs.68.34 against the US dollar. This is a near 18-month low for the rupee, and only 0.6% away from its all-time low of Rs.68.825. India’s dependency on crude oil imports has only been increasing over the past few years.

The dependency rose from 77.3% in FY2014 to 83.7% in FY2018. The rise in crude oil price has a big impact on the Indian Current Account Deficit (CAD).

CAD is a measure of India’s trade where the value of goods and services imported exceeds the value of goods and services exported. Oil is a very important commodity and it is required to meet domestic fuel needs. In addition to that, it is a necessary raw material used in a number of industries. An increase in the price of crude oil means that would increase the cost of producing goods. Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman is battling economic slowdown by announcing a slew of boosters but hike in crude oil would severely test them.

DailyDevotion Is There Good in Temptation?

No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man… —1 Corinthians 10:13 The word temptation has come to mean something bad to us today, but we tend to use the word in the wrong way. Temptation itself is not sin; it is something we are bound to face simply by virtue of being human. Not to be tempted would mean that we were already so shameful that we would be beneath contempt. Yet many of us suffer from temptations we should never have to suffer, simply because we have refused to allow God to lift us to a higher level where we would face temptations of another kind.

A person’s inner nature, what he possesses in the inner, spiritual part of his being, determines what he is tempted by on the outside. The temptation fits the true nature of the person being tempted and reveals the possibilities of his nature. Every person actually determines or sets the level of his own temptation, because temptation will come to him in accordance with the level of his controlling, inner nature.

Temptation comes to me, suggesting a possible shortcut to the realization of my highest goal— it does not direct me toward what I understand to be evil, but toward what I understand to be good. Temptation is something that confuses me for a while, and I don’t know whether something is right or wrong.

When I yield to it, I have made lust a god, and the temptation itself becomes the proof that it was only my own fear that prevented me from falling into the sin earlier.

Temptation is not something we can escape; in fact, it is essential to the well-rounded life of a person.

Beware of thinking that you are tempted as no one else— what you go through is the common inheritance of the human race, not something that no one has ever before endured. God does not save us from temptations— He sustains us in the midst of them (see Hebrews 2:18 and Hebrews 4:15-16).

fter four years in labour and amidst anxious moment, the baby was finally delivered on August 31, 2019.

But, as feared by some, it turned out to be a stillborn baby. While some felt vindicated and hence were relieved, if not rejoiced, others sulked and still many others screamed in horror. This perhaps best describes the entire National Register of Citizens (NRC) updating process in Assam, which had been on for the past four years under the Supreme Court’s supervision, and the general mood after it was finally published amidst great expectations.

It was perhaps a twist of irony that those claiming the issue of Bangladeshi, particularly Bangladeshi Muslims, was a mirage and deliberately exaggerated to harass Bengali-speaking Muslims in Assam and hence bitter critics of the NRC update process were the ones who felt relieved and were among the firsts to rejoice at having felt that their stand was vindicated.

And those who had declared with conviction that the NRC would be a “jatiya dalil” (national document) and hence its strong votaries were ironically the first to denounce the final NRC draft. And caught in the crossfire between the two groups with conflict of interest were the silent majority who had fervently hoped that the Bangladeshi issue

NRC a stillborn baby?

would finally be laid to rest, besides those who felt that they had all along been unnecessarily targeted and stigmatised due to their mother tongue being Bengali.

Leaders like Asaduddin Owasi and organisations like the All Assam Minority Students’ Union are today waxing eloquent over reports that more Hindus than Muslims have been excluded from the final NRC list. This, they say, proves their hypothesis correct that there are very few, if none at all, Bangladeshi Muslims in the State. On the other end of the spectrum are jatiya sangathans (regional bodies) like the All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) who are crying foul at having found to their dismay that the number of people finally left out – 19,06,657 – was much less than the figures often quoted by both the Central and State governments in the past or what they had anticipated, especially after the second NRC draft published on July 30 last year had left out 40 lakh individuals. No wonder, the AASU, which was a signatory to the Assam Accord that eventually led to NRC update, has announced to file appeal before the Supreme Court seeking review.

Even some Bengali Hindu organisations have expressed their dismay over reports that 11 lakh Bengali Hindus have been excluded from the final NRC list in

Barak Valley alone. They see it as part of a sinister plot to deliberately harass members of the community. Some right-wing Hindu organisations too have rejected the final draft.

So, the voices of dissent against the final NRC are only set to get louder in the days ahead.

Apparently stung by the outcome, the ruling BJP dispensation in Assam, which was hoping that more Bengali Hindus will be included in the final NRC and thus help its case of providing citizenship to Bangladeshi Hindus, too has expressed its dissatisfaction. Battling national and international criticisms for having made over 19 lakh people allegedly “stateless” and to cater to the party’s support base among the Bengali Hindus, the BJP governments both at the Centre and the State were prompt to announce that none would be deemed foreigner until all due legal processes were over, and nor would anyone be detained. Both New Delhi and Dispur have also set the ball rolling for setting up additional Foreigners’ Tribunals (FTs) to take their total number to 1,000 in a bid to help those excluded to file appeals before them. The period for filing such appeals before FTs has also been increased from 60 to 120 days, while Dispur has offered to offer free legal assistance to “genuine” Indian citizens

(though it runs counter to the very objective of updating NRC), as has been by some organisations.

And given repor ts of gross anomalies like a former Indian Air Force official being left out from the final list even though his children made it, while persons declared “foreigners” by FTs being included along with some Myanmarese nationals, besides names of family members of “martyrs” of Foreigners’ Movement missing, etc, there are reasons to believe that the process was not entirely foolproof and hence the final list totally erroneous. No doubt, many are totally disillusioned with the final outcome.

Thus, instead of putting a lid on the vexed Bangladeshi issue in the State, as many had hoped, the final NRC draft may have actually inadvertently opened a Pandora’s box.

For, some prominent jatiya sangathans have rejected it, while it is highly unlikely that lakhs of individuals excluded from the final list will give up claims of citizenship so easily. And disposing of claims of over 19 lakh individuals will be anything but another mammoth legal exercise that is likely to stretch over several decades. Hence, instead of its resolution, the update NRC is likely to add new complexities to the Bangladeshi issue, especially in the backdrop of reports of exclusion of

scores of indigenous and tribal community members too. A lady had reportedly even committed suicide at Hailakandi after not finding her name in the final list despite possessing valid documents, while two FIRs have been filed against NRC State Coordinator Prateek Hajela for the alleged anomalies.

Now, to any individual with an iota of wisdom, it was a foregone conclusion that the move to update NRC taken up with much fanfare will ultimately be a fluke. One of the most humongous exercises carried out ever in any corner of the globe to verify residency status of millions of individuals, it was quite an improbable task that the final list would be anything but error-free.

Hence, as many have now alleged, the entire exercise has perhaps only helped legitimise those very people who were supposed to be called out due to their suspected foreign origin. And with the reportedly high rate of exclusion in tribal areas like Karbi Anglong and Dhemaji (reports say 16%) and minimal in areas bordering Bangladesh like Dhubri, Mancachar, Salmara, etc (6% reportedly), the argument is perhaps not without merit.

But, wasn’t the final outcome on expected lines?

Did the State government try and ensure that only employees with proven track record of being up-

right were involved in the exercise? Did the NRC authorities conduct any screening of such officials to check their antecedents before involving them? (A person pronounced “foreigner” by FT was found working at an NRC centre) So, given the chances of manipulation of data and forgery of documents being very real, the outcome of the entire exercise should very well have been anticipated.

Further, assuming that all these 19 lakh people excluded are foreigners, will the Government of India actually be able to deport them to their land of origin? New Delhi is yet to announce how it is going to deal with them. So, of what use will be the updated NRC then, especially after spending approximately Rs 1,300 crore? Actually, with organisations squabbling over it, the updated NRC is likely to end up as a new bone of contention, as has been the case with the Assam Accord signed almost 35 years ago.

Actually, looking for “Bangladeshi” today in Assam is akin to searching a black cat in a dark room that has blended perfectly well with the environment.

The idea of updating NRC might have been conceived with grand intentions, but was definitely not perfectly deliverable. It may be good in spirit, but seems bad in law.

With Patel in backdrop, PM talks Kashmir on birthday

Narendra Modi at a public meeting on the occasion of his 69th birthday, in Kevadia, Tuesday, Sept. 17, Gujarat Governor Acharya Dev Vrat, Chief Minister Vijay Rupani Deputy Chief Minister Nitinbhai Patel are also seen. (PTI)

Jaipur, Sep 17 (IANS): Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot here on Tuesday said the six Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) legislators had joined the Congress on their own and alleged the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was trying to buy MLAs in Madhya Pradesh to topple the government there.

“It was their own decision to join the Congress.

We never tried to buy them as we are not like the BJP who took our MLAs to form its own government in Karnataka,” Gehlot said.

On the BSP chief ’s reaction, he said, “It’s natural for Mayawati to react. I can understand her situation. But she should understand the political circumstances of Rajasthan. It’s (political circumstances) in the nation and the state is different,” the Chief Minister said.

Mayawati had shot three tweets expressing anger over six BSP MLAs’ switching to the Congress.

In her first tweet, she said, “The Congress gov-

ernment in Rajasthan has once again proved to be a non-trustworthy and fraudulent party who has taken along the BSP MLAs. This is a betrayal towards the BSP, which has been repeated when the BSP was extending its unconditional support to the Congress government externally.” In her second tweet, she said, “Instead of fighting with opposition parties/ organisations, the Congress always shocks those that support them.

The Congress is thus an anti-SC, ST, OBC party and has never been sincere and honest about their rights.”

In her third tweet, the BSP chief said, “The Congress has always been opposed to Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar and his humanitarian ideology.

For this reason, Ambedkar had to resign as the first Law Minister of the country. The Congress neither allowed him to go to the Lok Sabha nor conferred the Bharat Ratna on him.

Very sad and embarrassing.”

PAC press briefing

(From p-1) He urged public to participate in the efforts so that it could become a mass movement against illegal taxation.

Nyekha also sought public cooperation to voluntarily report to PAC on any illegal taxation being carried out even if they feared to report to police. The PAC Convenor reiterated that the drive was not only against some government departments collecting fee much beyond the stipulated amount but also against those groups, associations etc who made illegal collection as their sole objective. He also pointed out that government departments like Geology & Mining including Forest ought to refrain from collecting taxes from trucks carrying various minerals as royalty since all the items imported from other states were also taxed under GST. He said PAC has already submitted a representation with DC Dimapur to urge the government to withhold such royalty collections.

He said, its his privilege to start the day with this visit.

The bench said he may take the break, but the other counsel from Muslim side can advance submissions on Friday.

“I do not want to break my argument,” Dhavan said, adding that they have a schedule and they are conscious of the speed of the arguments.

The bench said Dhavan might be needing the break, but his “young team” was capable and would like to work hard. The apex court, on August 6, had commenced the day-to-hearing in the Ayodhya land dispute case and on being opposed

by Dhavan, it had assured mid-week breaks to him to prepare the case.

The senior lawyer then said that the court may consider granting him mid-week break on this Friday.

New Delhi, Sep 17 (IANS): Virtually ruling out talks on Kashmir with Pakistan, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said on Tuesday that revocation of Article 370 is purely an internal issue and the only issue India would discuss with Pakistan is of terrorism.

To a question on talking Kashmir with Pakistan, he said: “370 is not a bilateral issue, 370 is an internal issue. With regard to Pakistan the issue is not 370, the issue with Pakistan is terrorism.” He said there is no change in India’s policy on Pakistan.

Mumbai, Sep 17 (PTI): The Indian rupee on Tuesday weakened by another 18 paise to settle at 71.78 against the US dollar as investors fretted over higher crude oil prices. Elevated crude oil prices have emerged as major fears for India -- the world’s third largest oil importer -- in form of fiscal slippage and inflationary pressure. At the Interbank Foreign Exchange, the rupee opened at 71.83 then lost further ground and fell to an intra-day low of 71.98 against the US dollar.

The local unit finally settled for the day at 71.78, down 18 paise over its previous closing. The Indian rupee on Monday had plunged by 68 paise to 71.60 against the US dollar amid concerns over soaring crude prices following drone attacks on Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities.

“Indian currency spot surged to 71.98, Brent crude prices moved to USD 69 and 10-year yield was at 6.72. All these factors are dampening the economy and will be difficult to tackle in the short term,” said Shrikant S Chouhan, Senior VP, Equity Technical Research, Kotak Securities.

Some 6,395,396 Israelis were eligible to vote at over 11,000 polling booths that opened at 7 a.m. till 10 p.m., when counting of the ballots will begin, Efe news reported.

According to The Jerusalem Post, unofficial results will be available by Wednesday and the official winner will be declared on September 25.

Experts have predicted a lower voter turnout compared to the 67.9 per cent in the April 9 elections, which could affect the results.

Netanyahu is running for re-election and a fifth term after becoming the country’s longest serving leader in July. He was first elected Prime Minister in 2009.

There are 31 parties in the race, out of which nine or 10 are expected to share the 120 seats that make up

Israel’s parliament.

The top two most voted parties are expected to obtain around 30 seats which is likely to lead to formations with several parties.

Meanwhile, the latest opinion polls on Monday night showed that Netanyahu’s ruling Likud Party was neck and neck with its main challenger, the centrist Blue and White party led by former military chief Benny Gantz, the BBC reported.

Likud and Blue and White have 35 seats each in the 120-seat Knesset or Parliament.

The other main parties in the fray are the Joint

List, made up of four parties that represent Arab citizens in the country; Israel Our Home, a far-right and secular party led by former Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman; and New Right, a coalition of far-right parties led by former Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked.

Around 20,000 uniformed and plainclothes police officials have been deployed at the polling stations around the country and the Jewish settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Seventy polling booths were designated for early voting to allow Army officials who could not vote

on Tuesday to cast their votes.

More than 655 booths were also set up in military bases, dozens of which will circulate between checkpoints and training posts as well as other areas.

Meanwhile, Netanyahu in an appeal to the voters wrote in the Maariv newspaper on Monday: “We find ourselves at the high point of an historic change in the history of the Jewish people and the State of Israel. “I am asking now for your confidence in order to complete the historic task and fortify the State of Israel’s borders and security forever.”

Last week, Netanyahu declared that he would “apply Israeli sovereignty” in the Jordan Valley if he won a record fifth term in office. The announcement amounted to a promise to effectively annex 30 per cent of the occupied West Bank, which Palestinians want to be part of a future state.

Netanyahu also reiterated a pledge from the last election to annex Jewish settlements in the West Bank.

US not seeking war with any country: Trump Washington, Sep 17 (IANS): US President Donald Trump has said that America was not seeking a war with any country amid tensions with Iran after Washington indicated that Tehran was behind the drone attacks on Saudi Arabian oil fields.

“Do I want war? I don’t want war with anybody,” Trump told reporters at the White House on Monday when asked if he wants war with Iran.

When asked if Iran was behind the attacks, Trump said “it’s certainly looking that way at this moment”, seemingly distancing himself from his Secretary of State Mike Pompeo who asserted on on September 14, the day of the attacks, that “Tehran is behind nearly 100 attacks on Saudi Arabia”.

“We have to find out definitively who did it. We have to speak to Saudi Arabia,” Trump said.

He added that Pompeo and others “will be going over to Saudi Arabia at some point” to discuss the incident.

He said Nagas are gifted in music, be it any genre, but we must strive towards professionalism by excelling in it and not just be content with the average.

Dr. Sothu affirmed the state

The guest speaker also announced that competitions are being organised for choirs and bands which would culminate in the Nagaland Choir Olympics, winners of which would represent the state for the World Choir Olympics to be held in Belgium.

Likewise, the winning band would be offered a chance to perform during the Hornbill Music Festival. While encouraging musicians to pursue professionalism, he reiterated that this should be a joint endeavour of institutions such as the church and stakeholders, patrons and music lovers alike to start paying musicians well.

Mukaida later reached the final to help Vinesh stay in the medal hunt as well as Tokyo Olympics qualification. Two victories will ensure her place in Tokyo Olympics.

She will now have to beat three wrestlers in the repechage- Yuliia Khavaldzhy Blahinya from Ukraine, world number one Sarah Ann Hildebrandt and then Maria Prevolaraki from Greece to win her first Worlds medal.

It was second consecutive defeat for Vinesh against the Japanese this season after losing to the two-time world champion at the Asian Championship in China.

Vinesh said Mukaida was no different from the Asian Championship though she and her coach Woller Akos had plotted the fall of the formidable Japanese.

“It happens. But Mu-

kaida is not the only target for me. We focus on all wrestlers. Everyone is tough in 53kg. It’s not over yet,” said Vinesh, competing in her fourth Worlds.

PSG confirmed on Monday that the two strikers will resume training by the end of the week. Thomas Tuchel’s side will also be without Neymar, with the Brazilian forward serving Champions League ban for insulting match officials.

Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Cavani netted 11 of PSG’s 20 goals in their Champions League campaign last season, and the trio will be crucial again in 2019-20 as the club look to go deep in Europe’s elite competition.

dismal performance in England in the World Cup. The visitors have included quite a number of fresh faces in their squad in a bid to build a team for the World T20 next year and, thus, they certainly lack experience. Despite this, they are, however, expected to pose a greater challenge to India than the West Indies did last month.

It would be an excellent opportunity for South Africa to regain their lost confidence by overcoming a strong team like India in their backyard.

Unlike Dharamsala, the chances of rain interrupting play in Mohali are negligible, and a full game can be expected. The pitch is supposed to be batter friendly, although pacers might get some assistance considering that the match will be played under lights.

“It’s hard. You have a girlfriend, you have a family, you have kids. When they play with your honesty, it’s bad, it’s hard.”

“I remember one day I was at home in the living room with my girlfriend watching the television to see the news and they speak about ‘Cristiano Ronaldo this and that.’ I listened to my kids coming down the stairs and I changed the channel because I was embarrassed. I just changed the channel for Cristiano Jr not to see that they speak bad about his father about a very bad case,” added the Juventus star.

Aston Villa held by 10-man West Ham

Lo n d o n, S e p 1 7 ( A g e n c i e s ) : We s t Ham survived the secondhalf dismissal of Arthur Masuaku to extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League to three games with a 0-0 draw at Aston Villa on Monday night.

The Hammers had to navigate the final 23 minutes with a man down after referee Mike Dean issued Masuaku with a second yellow for a challenge on Ahmed Elmohamady which did not appear to make contact with the Villa defender.

Villa may well have been reduced to 10 or even nine men when Anwar El Ghazi threw his head into the face of defender Tyrone Mings in the flashpoint of the first half.

But Dean Smith’s side failed to take advantage of that reprieve and the numerical advantage as the Hammers battled their way to a point that moves them up to eighth and sees Villa climb out of the relegation zone.

Villa’s bid to improve their dismal record of just one win in 16 Premier League games on a Monday nearly got off to the

perfect start when Jack Grealish drove into West Ham territory and picked out Wesley with a peach of a cross to the near post, but the hosts’ record signing headed over on 13 minutes when it looked easier to score.

It was then the turn of Sebastien Haller to go close as the Hammers’ top scorer stole a march on Mings to get on the end of Felipe

Anderson’s cross from the left, but he could only steer a header wide.

The increased strain on the Villa defence caused tempers to flare on 35 minutes when Mings and El Ghazi were involved in a heated exchange that saw the latter push his head into his team-mate’s face.

Both players survived a VAR review and, three minutes later, Mark Noble

Neymar’s CL ban reduced to 2 games LAUSANNE, Sep 17 (IANS): The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) reduced from three to two matches a ban imposed

by UEFA on Neymar for insulting a referee during a Champions League match last season.

The ruling was made on Tuesday after a hearing held on September 13 at the Lausannebased court. “The Sole Arbitrator partially upheld the appeal and reduced the suspension imposed by UEFA on Neymar Jr. to two UEFA competition matches for which he would otherwise be eligible,” the CAS said in a statement.

The UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body opened an inquiry into the Brazilian on March 22 over remarks he made on social media following Paris Saint Germain’s 3-1 home defeat to Manchester United in the second leg of a round-of-16 tie, which eliminated the French club from the competition.

“That is a disgrace! And UEFA still pick four guys who know nothing about football to review the VAR decision in slow motion... that handball simply doesn’t exist!” he wrote.

London, Sep 17 (IANS): Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea has signed a new long-term contract to stay with the club until 2023. There is an option to extend for a further year.

David joined United in 2011 and has made 367 appearances so far.

During his time with the club, he has won the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, Europa League and Community Shield. “It has been a privilege to spend eight years at this great club and the opportunity to continue my career at Manchester United is a genuine honour,” David said in an official statement.

“Since I arrived here, I could never have imagined I would play over 350 games for this club. Now my future is fixed, all I want is to help this team achieve what I believe we can and win trophies again, together,” he added.

The 28-year-old, who has consistently been linked with a move to Real Madrid in recent seasons, was in the last year of his contract and would have been able to open talks with clubs outside England over a possible move in January.

was fortunate not shown a second yellow by referee Dean after going to ground without contact in search of a penalty.

Villa nearly drew a line under an incidentpacked first half with the opening goal as El Ghazi rolled the ball into the path of John McGinn, but his crisp drive from the edge of the area drew a fine save from Lukasz Fabianski.

McGinn was at it again early in the second half, fizzing a low drive inches wide of Fabianski’s left-hand post and Declan Rice saw a fierce drive blocked as both sides saw an opportunity to take the game.

And Villa’s chances received a boost on 67 minutes when Masuaku was penalised for a trip on Elmohamady and given his marching orders after committing a second bookable offence, though replays showed contact was minimal.

But the sending off had the opposite effect, invigorating West Ham as they produced a spirited display with 10 men in a pulsating finale.

Grealish had the chance to win it with two minutes remaining but, at full stretch, he was unable to steer a volley on target from seven yards while West Ham could have been handed the opportunity to win themselves had Mings’ barge on Ryan Fredericks in the area been punished.

Federer hopes to compete at Tokyo 2020

Geneva, Sep 17 (Agencies): Roger Federer says he hopes to compete at Tokyo 2020 where he is dreaming of winning his first individual Olympic gold medal.

Federer missed the Rio Olympics because of a knee injury, but now the 38-year-old is already making plans for next year.

The Swiss, who won Olympic gold with Stan Wawrinka in men’s doubles, has made plans up until Wimbledon and is currently weighing up the option of whether or not to play in Tokyo.

“I’m very excited about the prospect of maybe playing the Olympic Games, but I’m not quite sure yet,” admitted Federer.

“My planning goes until Wimbledon next year which is a couple of weeks before the Olympics, so I guess I’m going to be deciding on the Olympic Games in the next few weeks, hopefully the next month or so.”

“It’s been such a special event for me over the years. Me and my wife in 2000 carrying the flag in Athens and Beijing for the Swiss

Olympic delegation which was a huge dream for me come true.”

“Winning doubles gold with Wawrinka in Beijing then getting the silver in London, at Wimbledon. So for me, maybe to be part of it again would be great, especially after missing the last edition in Rio because of a knee injury, but I’ll just have to see how my family is doing, how my body is doing, and then if everything is green and I really feel it’s the right thing to do, I’ll play it, otherwise I’ll skip it but it would definitely be a nice challenge, I admit.”

69th birthday today,” Panghal said after the bout.

Panghal was the first to take the ring for India and in a contest which didn’t have much of action to start with, he set the ball rolling by using his left hooks to good effect in the opening round.

Citfci seemed focussed on a plan to counter-attack but couldn’t execute it.

This was despite the fact that Panghal was lunging at the taller boxer to connect his left straights.

Despite managing to draw the Indian in, Citfci consistently failed to make any impactful contact with his opponent, whose trademark pace was once again on display.

Kaushik, a former national champion, adopted a more cautious approach and waited for his rival to reach out. Baatarsukh fell into the trap quite early and was unable to cope with the Indian’s counter-attack.

Kaushik didn’t change his tactics and the consistent approach paid off for him as frustration became apparent in Baatarsukh’s game.

Kaushik dominated him in the final three minutes.

Panghal, a two-time gold-medallist at the prestigious Strandja Memorial in Bulgaria, had finished a quarterfinalist in the 2017 world championship.
