Correspondent
KOHIMA, SEP 18 (NPN): With the gloves off after the recent 2018 assembly election, the PDA coalition government came under scathing attack from a determined and seasoned opposition NPF over alleged irregularities in various departments. The second session of the 13th Nagaland Legislative Assembly began on a high note after the customary obituary references made to former prime minister Atal Behari Vajpayee and former Lok Sabha speaker Somnath Chatterjee given by chief minister, Neiphiu Rio and leader of opposition, T.R. Zeliang. Speaker Vikho-ü Yhoshü was taken to task by opposition leader T.R. Zeliang for not ensuring the tabling of proceedings of the previous session held in March this year. Before the list of starred questions began, leader of opposition TR Zeliang pointed that reports of previous sessions vital for conducting the following sessions were yet to be tabled in the house.

the assembly secretariat on the evening of September 17 about the reports, he was told that these were still being compiled. He asked whether six months was not enough to compile them. Zeliang also reminded the speaker that reminders should have been sent to the secretariat to prepare and submit the reports in time. Zeliang said that as per Assembly rules, the members should have received the accepted questions by evening, a day prior to beginning of the Assembly session. Claiming that he himself received the accepted questions (list of business) at 9:40 p.m., while other opposition members received theirs at 10 p.m. Zeliang stressed that legislators ought to know the list of business to prepare for the session. He said the issue should not be repeated in future. Zeliang also expressed displeasure against the government reducing the list of questions put up by the opposition. Zeliang claimed that while opposition placed 50 questions for discussion, only 20 were admitted. On the issues of “status of agreement” with Civil
Engineers Enterprise Pvt. Ltd (CEEPL) North East Handloom and Handicraft and Hind Xerox, Zeliang demanded a separate onehour discussion as reports dating back from as far back as 1982 needed to be referred to. He said since there was no government business, the issue should be discussed at length and sought one-hour discussion, to which chief minister Neiphiu Rio agreed to hold discussion on the issue on September 20. Speaker asserted that there was no provision for a one-hour discussion while allowing half an hour of discussion. Opposition member and former speaker Chotisuh Sazo also backed Zeliang’s point over the issue of the government not tabling reports of the previous session and on the delay in circulation of the list of business. Speaker Yhoshü assured the House the reports of last session would be prepared and circulated as soon as possible. He also assured that the delay in dispatching the list of business too would be looked into. Even as the entire op-
position was clamouring for more time for discussions, the Speaker adjourned the hose after two starred questions were taken up. The house was reportedly adjourn in view of two major meetings scheduled in the afternoon. Meanwhile, the inaugural day of the Assembly session witnessed introduction of government Bills, laying of administrative reports, assent to Bill and presentation of House committee reports. Opposition legislators also took the opportunity to question Road and bridges (R&B) minister Tongpang Ozukum over the total length of roads covered during the recent repairs taken up by the Nagaland public works department (NPWD). NPF legislator Kuzholuzo Neinu asked the minister to furnish details of funds allocated to all the divisions and districts for restoration of all district headquarters roads as per the commitment made by PDA government to repair them within 60 days, whether the works had been executed and how many kilometre was covered.

from Oct 3; minister appeals
DIMAPUR, SEP 18 (NPN): As part of India’s resolve to eliminate measles and control rubella/congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) by 2020, Nagaland would launch measles-r ubella (MR) vaccination campaign from October 3, 2018. During the campaign, all children from 9 months to 15 years of age would be covered and vaccinated in schools both government and private and at the community level for out of school children, health centres and Anganwadi centres. All children of this age group would receive this one-dose of vaccination even if they have received these vaccines earlier. Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has initiated MR vaccination campaign in a phased manner across the nation. The campaign aims to cover approximately 41
crore children and is going to be the largest ever vaccination campaign worldwide. Measles and Rubella are viral contagious diseases which are known to kill. Rubella infection in pregnant women can cause abortions, still births and babies born with congenital defects. Till date, 17 states have completed the campaign and over 10 crore children have been vaccinated. In this regard, health and family welfare (H&FW) minister, S Pangnyu Phom, has sought full participation and continuous cooperation of all heads of schools, teachers, parents, community leaders/members, public representatives, religious leaders and civil societies. “It is with your support that we can make this campaign a success –the biggest ever campaign in our state and country,” Phom said.
ACAUT demands immediate setting up of Lokayukta Cop murder: AYO demands capital punishment DIMAPUR, SEP 18 (NPN): ACAUT has demanded that chief minister Neiphiu Rio immediately constitute Lokayukta in the State. In a memorandum to the chief minister, ACAUT chairman Tia Longchar, co-chairman Simon Kelio and secretary Hetoi Chishi asserted that Lokayukta would go a long way in curbing corruption, bring about transparency in the system, make administrative machinery citizen-friendly and establish the rule of law. Referring to his public statements on bringing transparency and accountability in governance, they hoped his government would not miss the opportunity of implementing the Nagaland Lokayukta Act, 2017 at the earliest. Pointing out that the Nagaland government had in April 2018 this year filed an affidavit before the Supreme Court stating that
the process for appointment of Lokayukta was on, the ACAUT said no appointment had been made by his government. The apex court had on July 10 granted three months to the States, including Nagaland, to appoint Lokayuktas (by October 10, 2018). ACAUT suggested the government not to wait for the Supreme Court deadline, but go ahead and appoint Lokayukta at the earliest. After the Nagaland Lokayukta Act, 2017 was given assent by the governor on December 21 that year, the Nagaland Gazette issued a notification publishing the Act for general information on January 31, 2018. However, till date the Act remains only on paper. Referring to the NDPP election campaign that promised change and reform, including fighting against “corruption, centralisation of power and
restoration of rule of law in the State”, ACAUT urged Rio to immediately set up Lokayukta in Nagaland. ACAUT also recalled how the mammoth rally under its aegis at Kohima in 2014 had adopted a public resolution demanding passing of Lokayukta Bill. And in the following year, “Walk Against Corruption” was organised in which more than 70 volunteers and led by ACAUT leaders walked from Dimapur to Kohima to submit a representation to then chief minister TR Zeliang demanding passing of the Lokayukta Bill in the Assembly. Following consistent pressure, the NGO claimed that the Zeliang government formed a Standing Committee on Lokayukta, headed by MLA Er Levi Rengma and including four other legislators, in 2015. Though the committee had submitted draft Lokayukta
for discussion in the Assembly, the bill was kept in cold storage and not introduced in the Assembly for almost two years. Left with no option, the stakeholders formed Public Coordination Committee (PCC) in 2017 comprising ACAUT, PSAN and 16 other like-minded organizations, which took to the street and undertook hunger strike between October and December 2017. One of PAC’s charters of demands was the demand to pass the Lokayukta Bill in winter session of the Assembly in 2017. Following this, the Standing Committee on Lokayukta invited ACAUT leaders for discussion on the final Lokayukta draft on two occasions and a consensus was arrived at, following which a green signal given to the committee for passage of the final draft Bill in the winter session of the Assembly in 2017.
DIMAPUR, SEP 18 (NPN): While asserting to defend society, land and honour at all cost from a culture of threat and killing, Angami Youth Organisation (AYO) has strongly condemned the murder of police inspector Neiphretuo Metsieo by Yuireingam Ronra Shimray and Ringthingchon from Manipur on September 7. In a statement issued by its president Neinguvotuo Krose and general secretary Kekhrie Pfukha, AYO appealed to the investigating agencies and prosecutors to press for maximum penalty and declared that they would not accept anything lesser than capital punishment to serve as deterrent for future generations. The organisation further warned that anyone trying to bail out the two accused or act as their bailer(s) would be held equally responsible for the crime, adding that the Angamis would
boycott them socially along with the tribe they belong to till the “barbaric” murder case was settled. AYO also appealed to every Angami, especially the youth, to participate in the public procession to be organised by it on Wednesday. While expressing its profound gratitude to all people and police forces of Manipur, Assam and Nagaland, besides Railway Protection Force personnel, all of whom were involved in the prompt identification and subsequent arrest of the perpetrators of the heinous crime, the organisation also resented the statement issued by Tangkhul tribe to which the perpetrators belonged for trying to justify the crime even as the bereaved family was still under deep mourning. AYO also warned other tribes not to shelter any such criminals in Angami
jurisdiction. It said, if anyone sheltered criminals, the Angamis would hold the entire tribe equally guilty While vehemently condemning the “calculated and cold-blooded murder” of Neiphretuo Metsieo for robbery, the organisation alleged that it was a pre-determined crime meticulously executed by the two accused, resulting in the “barbaric murder of an officer, a husband, a father and above all a fellow human being”. It asserted the crime fitted into the category of “rarest of rare” case and deserved “befitting punishment”. According to AYO, the accused deserved social boycott and stigma. Recalling that many precious lives were wiped out and silenced in the guise of Naga movement, the organisation further said the murder of “our officer” reminded everyone about the “dark days” that still haunted many.

MU vice chancellor suspended from service
Correspondent
IMPHAL, Sep 18: In the latest move to end the protracted crisis in Manipur University, President Ram Nath Kovind Tuesday suspended vice chancellor of Manipur University Prof Adya Prasad Pandey. Suspension of Pandey will also end the confusion of having two VCs in the university. Pandey has been running a transit office of VC of Manipur University in his official quarter since the first week of September. According to the order issued by Surat Singh, deputy secretary of department of higher education, ministry of HRD, Pandey has been placed under suspension with immediate effect till the completion of enquiry and action to be taken against him as per the finding of the enquiry. The President of India suspended the controversial VC in his capacity as Visitor of the Manipur University after consideration of material on record and taking into account the “volatile
law and order situation” in the campus of the varsity, the order stated. Prof AP Pandey was blamed for the further deteriorated atmosphere in the varsity campus after he resumed to his duties while students, teachers and staff of the varsity temporarily suspended their agitations. It noted that the agitation in the university temporarily ended on August 22 last after a period of 85 days and the university started functioning from August 23 with Prof Pandey proceeding on leave. “………resuming of duties by Prof Adya Prasad Pandey has further deteriorated the atmosphere of the University,” the order noted. The functioning t the university was disrupted for more than three months after the students, teachers and staff of the varsity rose up demanding removal of Prof AP Pandey as vice chancellor of the Central university. Meanwhile, the twomember enquiry committee comprising of former Acting
Mizo churches reject SC’s Section 377 ruling AIZAWL, Sep 18 (Agencies): Churches in Mizoram have “rejected” the SC’s ruling on Article 377 and said homosexuality and lesbianism should continue to be criminalised as it was before . Mizoram Kohhran Hruaitute Committee , a conglomerate of leaders of 14 major churches in the state, on Monday said it wished the apex court had never scrapped Section 377. Gay sex among consenting adults is not an
offence, the Supreme Court ordered on September 6, reading down a British-era section 377 of the penal code that penalises people for their sexual orientation. “Any discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation violates fundamental rights,” said Chief Justice Dipak Misra, reading out the operative portion of the top court’s verdict that struck down Section 377 to the extent that it penalised consensual sexual relationship between two adults.
Chief Justice of Meghalaya High Court T Nandakumar and former VC of Tezpur University MK Choudhary has asked Prof Pandey to submit a written statement in the form of affidavit to defend the allegations leveled against him by MUSU, MUTA and MUSA within September 24, a highly reliable source said. He was further asked to appear in person before the committee on September 26, 27 and 28, days on which statements of the witnesses will be recorded by the committee. The source said that Manipur University Students’ Union (MUSU), Manipur University Teachers’ Association (MUTA) and Manipur University Staff Association (MUSA) has already submitted their written statements in the form of affidavits with supporting documents to the allegations leveled by them against Pandey. Some student bodies and individual students have also submitted their written statements, the source added.
BJP wins 96% seats uncontested in Tripura panchayat election Agartala, Sep 18 (PTI): The ruling BJP in Tripura has won around 96 per cent seats uncontested in the by-elections of the threetier panchayat polls in the state scheduled to be held on September 30, State Election Commissioner G K Rao said on Tuesday. Over 3,000 seats were rendered vacant as a large number of members of gram panchayats, panchayat samitis and zilla parishads resigned after the BJP-Indigenous People’s Front of Tripura (IPFT) combine came to power in the state in March. Opposition parties and the IPFT, which is contesting the rural bypolls separately, have alleged that elected representatives were forced to resign by the BJP and it also did not allow their candidates to submit nomination papers for the elections. Bypolls were scheduled to be held in 3,386 seats -3,207 in gram panchayat, 161 in panchayat samitis and 18 zilla parishad seats. However, 3,247 of these (95.89 per cent) were won by the BJP uncontested. “By-elections would be held in only 132 gram panchayat seats, and seven panchayat samity seats on
September 30 as the rest of the seats were won by the BJP uncontested,” Rao told PTI. On the demand of opposition parties and the IPFT for postponement of the elections, he said it cannot be done as no violence was reported in the offices where the nomination papers were submitted. “There is not a single complaint against Block Development officers, who act as returning officers for gram panchayat polls or against district magistrates, who function as returning officers for zilla parishad polls,” State Election Commissioner said. The opposition Left Front had last week demanded rescheduling of the bypolls claiming that opposition candidates could not file nomination papers due to attacks and intimidations by miscreants belonging to the BJP. Describing the entire election process a “farce”, CPI(M) state Secretary Bijan Dhar Tuesday said, “First, our elected representatives were forced to resign. Then, when we tried to field our candidates, they (BJP) they did not allow us to submit nomination papers.”

Centre to hold workshop for effective Nun rape: Bishop moves Kerala HC implementation of Street Vendors Act
KOCHI, SEP 18 (PTI): A day ahead of his likely appearance before police, clergyman Franco Mulakkal, accused of raping a nun, Tuesday filed an anticipatory bail petition in the Kerala High Court claiming allegations against him were a “cooked up story to wreak vengeance”. The Kerala High Court adjourned the hearing of the application for September 25 when it will hear the police version. When the plea came up for the hearing before Justice Raja Vijayaraghavan this afternoon, the petitioner did not seek any interim relief to thwart his possible arrest. Citing convention, legal experts said police may not arrest Mulakkal, who recently stepped aside as the bishop of the Jalandhar diocese, since his anticipatory bail plea is pending before the high court. However, police can still arrest him if it has sufficient evidence, they said. Mulakkal filed the application this mor n-
(From p-1) Ozukum replied that Rs 50 crore was allocated for the work, which was executed, and that the total length of prioritised road to be covered was 116.455 km. On the demand to furnish names of contractors awarded the repair works, the minister replied that NPWD that had carried out the work. To this, Neinu pointed out to the difference in figures of prioritised length of roads covered as R&B chief engineer Limadongdang Jamir had reportedly said during a press conference on April 10 that 217 km of roads would repaired in 12 district headquarters at a cost of Rs 102 crore. He argued that the minister should not mislead the House by quoting different lengths, adding that the reply was “tricky”.
Franco Mulakkal ing, claiming the allegations against him were a “cooked up story to wreak vengeance” and seeking pre-arrest bail. The Special Investigation Team (SIT) of Kerala Police has asked him to appear before it Wednesday. In his plea, the 54-yearold clergyman has claimed the accusations by the nun, serving in a congregation under the Jalandhar diocese, is “wholly concocted and cooked up only to wreak vengeance for the actions taken by him on various complaints received against her”.
Claiming innocence, the bishop said the complaint was “nothing but a fictional story”. “The complaint is an afterthought and a vicious programme to bring down the applicant who is holding a very high post in the congregation,” the plea said. It said the bishop is “absolutely innocent” and has been “falsely implicated” in the case with an “ulterior motive and vexatious intention”. The plea alleged that the nun and her family members had warned Mulakkal of dire consequences
if he continued to take adverse action against her. There were threats that he will be manhandled if he sets his foot in Kerala, the petition alleged. Noting that the public relations officer attached to the Bishop’s House in Jalandhar had submitted a complaint to the district police chief of Kottayam about the threat to the clergyman, the petition claimed it was only after that the nun filed a “false” complaint before the Kottayam SP on June 26. Mulakkal alleged that the nun had an illicit relationship with a relative and a complaint about it was received by her congregation --the Missionaries of Jesus. Referring to the nun’s first statement to police, the cleric insisted there was no forcible sexual intercourse. The petition cited media reports to claim that in her statement recorded before a judicial magistrate under Section 164 CrPC the alleged victim had said she was not coerced into having sexual intercourse.
“This crucial aspect needs to be considered along with the complaint made by her own cousin alleging the de facto complainant of having illicit relationship with her husband. “This crucial aspect casts serious suspicion on the credibility of the allegations raised by the de facto complainant,” the plea said. Mulakkal said the nun was appointed Mother Superior of St Francis Mission Home at Kuravilangadu in Kottayam district. She was also the Kerala in-charge till 2017, his plea said. The nun has accused the senior catholic priest of sexually assaulting her repeatedly between 2014 and 2016. Mulakkal has, however, dismissed the allegations as “baseless and concocted”, insisting she levelled those as the Catholic order had rejected her demand for favours. He had Saturday handed over the administrative charge of the Jalandhar diocese to a senior priest.

In his supplementary question, Azo also asked how many kilometres were covered out of the 116.455 km and how long the department would take to complete the repairs. He also asked the reason for differences in funds for different districts and whether there was comprehensive master plan for maintenance of all major roads. Vikheho Swu wanted to know whether the Rs 50 crore allotted for road maintenance included subdivisions too, while Yitachu demanded list of completed roads. The minister clarified that as per the previous government records, the State had 1,110 km major district roads, of which 116.455 km was prioritised for the repair work. He claimed that NPWD had covered 70.80 km of road and that the remaining length would be covered after the monsoon season.
He pointed out that the amount varied for districts depending on the length of roads, adding that so far Rs 25 crore was released and that the remaining Rs 25 crore that was released recently would be allotted for the remaining roads. Ozukum informed the House that NPWD was compiling a master plan, adding that Rs 50 crore was meant for district roads. He assured that once the annual maintenance funds were released, these would be distributed to the subdivisions too. On the list of completed roads by the department, the minister said it would be submitted in the next Assembly session. However, when the opposition members insisted that it be submitted on September 20, the minister later agreed. Asked whether there was a master plan for maintenance of all major roads,
he said the department was in the process of bringing out a comprehensive road policy, which has already constituted the road maintenance task force. Ozukum said the construction of Sonuoru Bridge under the central road fund scheme could not start till date due to the rainy season. Replying to a starred question by opposition member, Vikheho Swu, on the delay of work though the sanction was accorded in 2015, Ozukum said the work order was issued only during July 2016 and the work could not start immediately due to the rainy season. He also informed that as the contractor mobilized to start the work by February 2017, the work was stopped by the land owner. However, he informed that the land owner issue has been resolved. On the question of delay in tender procedure
for construction of Khughu bridge between Kichilimi and Ustomi, the minister replied that the tender for the work was cancelled for the 4th time due to nonfulfilment of tendering procedure. He said the 5th call was opened on September 5, 2018 and the tender evaluation was under process. He said work order would be issued after the technical and financial formalities were completed. On Tsuyi Bridge between Ghathashi and Hebolimi under Pughoboto division and between Natsumi and Asukiqa, the minister said technical and financial formalities were completed, but there was some delay to complete the evaluation process resulting in the expiry of the bid validity. Therefore, he said department was waiting for extension of time from the Ministry to award the work. Further, in response
Oppn MLAs demand reply from advisors KOHIMA, SEP 18 (NPN): Opposition members on the first day of the second session of the 13th NLA that began Tuesday demanded that advisors should be empowered to reply to the questions raised by the opposition. The issue came up when the leader of the house, Neiphiu Rio, replied to the starred questions raised against the department of school education. Leader of the opposition, TR Zeliang, asserted that since the advisors were appointed by the government they should either be allowed to reply in the assembly or do away with advisors, adding that government’s stand must be clear. The chief minister, however, clarified that the government after consultative meeting has decided that since the advisors were appointed as advisors to the departments, the concern minister would reply to the main questions and the advisors can reply supplementary questions. However, Rio encouraged the advisors to participate in the assembly proceedings. (Correspondent)

Nagaland division
ix Naga tribes- Konyak, Chang, Phom, Khiamniungan, Yimchunger and Sangtam inhabiting four districts of Tuensang, Mon, Longleng and Kiphire- are determined to achieve their common goal of a new state called ‘Frontier Nagaland as per the memorandum submitted to the government of India on December 6,2010. The six tribes have distinctively come under the banner of Eastern Nagaland Public Organisation(ENPO) and have been proactive in meeting representatives of the central government including chief minister, governor and other functionaries of Nagaland. At their September 14 public meeting in Tuensang town, ENPO representatives have resolved that they will not accept any economic packages as substitute for their demand of ‘Frontier Nagaland’ state. The ENPO has also rejected the offer for creating district-wise project proposals for the development of ENPO area as suggested by union special secretary(Internal Security) ministry of home affairs to officials of government of Nagaland. The main grouse against remaining part of present Nagaland state was the ‘discrimination’ by the so-called ‘advanced tribes’. In all the rallies, the focus used to be on ‘discrimination’ by the state government and therefore, they firmly believed it was better to have their own kitchen and cook their own food without being left at the ‘mercy’ of the kitchen run by the ‘major’ or ‘advanced’ tribes of present Nagaland. It is ironic that while there is the issue of Naga integration on one hand, there is another issue of Naga bifurcation on the other hand. One factor that had been aired over the past decades was that of being deprived of a fair share of development in the four districts in matters of projects including employment opportunities. This is borne by the fact that the far flung regions of the state still woefully lack basic infrastructures such as all-weather roads and other needs such as properly manned institutions. These are genuine concerns which have been unattended for many decades. The elected representatives of the ENPO area especially in the past, have failed to do justice to their people. This shows that the elected members were not on the same page though on paper, they were supposed to be sharing the same platform. The creation of Frontier Nagaland after bifurcation from present Nagaland will effectively reduce the state to half its present size. Today the tribes under ENPO have gone far enough to ever want to retract their demands even if it may seem a very difficult objective. The demand for a separate Frontier Nagaland will have to be addressed one way or the other by all other tribes of Nagaland. There is a need for serious discussion not only by the tribe hohos but also the ordinary and unorganised people on how to resolve the issue. The genuine concerns of the ENPO may not be alien with similar concerns by other tribes in Nagaland. This means that there is need for the church, since it is the most influential body, to play its role in resolving conflicts and to ready itself for greater tasks ahead. On the other hand, if the persistence is to achieve a political goal of statehood then perhaps there may not be much room for resolution. The state legislators have to talk over this issue and bring out a practical and implementable blueprint resolution that will convince and assuage the feelings of the six tribes.
DailyDevotion His Temptation and Ours We do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. —Hebrews 4:15 Until we are born again, the only kind of temptation we understand is the kind mentioned in James 1:14, “Each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.” But through regeneration we are lifted into another realm where there are other temptations to face, namely, the kind of temptations our Lord faced. The temptations of Jesus had no appeal to us as unbelievers because they were not at home in our human nature. Our Lord’s temptations and ours are in different realms until we are born again and become His brothers. The temptations of Jesus are not those of a mere man, but the temptations of God as Man. Through regeneration, the Son of God is formed in us (see Galatians 4:19), and in our physical life He has the same setting that He had on earth. Satan does not tempt us just to make us do wrong things— he tempts us to make us lose what God has put into us through regeneration, namely, the possibility of being of value to God. He does not come to us on the premise of tempting us to sin, but on the premise of shifting our point of view, and only the Spirit of God can detect this as a temptation of the devil. Temptation means a test of the possessions held within the inner, spiritual part of our being by a power outside us and foreign to us. This makes the temptation of our Lord explainable. After Jesus’ baptism, having accepted His mission of being the One “who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29) He “was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness” (Matthew 4:1) and into the testing devices of the devil. Yet He did not become weary or exhausted. He went through the temptation “without sin,” and He retained all the possessions of His spiritual nature completely intact.

The toothless NLTP 1989
he menace of alcoholism in Naga homes and personal lives was first brought to public domain for debate by the Ao Baptist Churches Association (ABAM) in 1988 which was followed by mass support to do away with liquor trade led by the NBCC, NMA and NSF. After nearly a year of representations to the government and token protest in various forms to register public resentments, the infamous “Nagaland Liquor Total Prohibition” 1989 was finally enacted as an Act under Nagaland Legislative Assembly. But over the years the resultant of NLTP Act is like a toothless instrument to combat the life threatening element since there seems no pragmatic policy to help the victims of alcohol addiction from either the govt. or churches or NGOs besides the stringent policy to curb the defaulters of either the trade or the users of alcohol and award exemplary punishments. Hence in some areas the situation grew worse than before, especially, the growth of abusive drug users. The overwhelming flow of spurious IMFL from across the State and encouragement of the syndicate form of alcohol business is rather a boon for some spineless greedy money mongers, which cut short the lives of many alcoholics. Over the years, different groups of people are pressurising the State Govt to either lift or partially modify the NLTP Act 1989 and legalise Liquor Trade in Nagaland; citing examples of its failures and also the failure of the similar policy in other Indian states and aboard. With sound intention, and of course looking at the well-being of our non revenue generating State; to provide better quality of alcohol to consumers at reasonable prices, to stop black marketing of IMFL etc. But our State government seems to be in a jam between the Churches and its people. Due to pressure from various angles, the govt and concern law enforcing agencies have come up with multiple policies to apprehend the alcohol traders in the past but any tiny flaw in the system has been the channel for easy flow of the spurious IMFL
into our dry State. Now, the biggest challenge for the government and the church is to legalise the once banned alcohol trade in the so called Nagaland for Christ which when succumbed to the pressure groups to lift the NLTP Act. In fact, as Christians we will be demeaning the value of Christianity to a state of bargain able commodity. This liquor ban in Nagaland was not the wisdom of common people but it is believed to be from above. It is evident that alcoholism is the mother of all addictions, besides abusive substances, which includes addiction into immorality, love of money, love of power etc. Unlike, other state Law, Act or Bill this NLTP 1989 is a sacred Act which bear the signatures, prayers and tears of many fathers, mothers, sons and daughters. “In a nutshell it bears the pains of many Families”. The lifting of the NLTP Act 1989 is never going to be a bonus in any aspect but Nagaland and its people will be invoking an irreparable divine CURSE for it will tantamount to blasphemy and testing the nerve of our living God who brought Naga people from the darkness to light, from shame to pride and from the slavery of paganism to the freedom of the great gospel of Christ Jesus. People are tend to commit sins because as human beings we are given the privilege to choose from right and wrong, as human nature we can’t be right all the time so there is always a door wide open for reconciliation with God if we earnestly seek His face. (We have a source of comfort here as the Bible says, “Call unto me, I will hear .” (Jeremiah 33:3) Finally, it seems again that our God has heard the cries of His people which is evident in the Churches’ schedules of fixing “Detoxification Camps” for its congregation who are combating to hang up addictions of any abusive substance. One of which just concluded it’s week long program in Ao Baptist Church Diphupar. Here we witnessed the testimony of 29 alcoholics being freed from the bondage
of years of alcoholism. A very special congratulation to the Churches and NGOs/Ministries who have embarked on such noble and Christ like character; to initiate and to HELP these helpless people drawn into alcoholism for years, even decades. Honestly speaking, our churches would have taken up such moral lessons first before suggesting the BAN because Disciplining has proved to be more effective than Restrictions. Now, it is evident that our State govt. too has a parental role to play instead of simply strengthening the security forces because this battle is not against alcoholism but it’s a battle against the powers of the dark world - the Satanic regime. The government is suggested to incorporate some chapters or a completely separate subject in Schools on “Healthy way of Life” covering academic exercises on the health and moral hazards due to alcoholism, drug abuse, sex abuse , early marriage, teenage love affairs, misuse of technology and the advantages of good governance etc etc “I have listened attentively, but they do not say what is right. None of them repent of their wickedness, saying, “What have I done?” Each pursues their own course like a horse charging into battle” Jeremiah 8:6 NIV Friends!! I was an addict to all abusive substances for 27 long years (till early 2008). But it was through the amazing grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the tearfilled prayers of my late mama on her knees for 27 years I’m a Freeman today. I request the government, churches, families and our society to know that these addicts to abusive substances are sick people, it’s a disease; another syndrome of inferiority complex, without it they believe life is incomplete which is a total nonsense. They’ve to be made known that they are a special species for God’s grace to be revealed through them and they are extremely LOVED AND CARED by the World too.

Consumers’ complaint is to be honoured
h e N a g a l a n d Vo l untary Consumers’ Organisation(NVCO) has been receiving various complaint related to consumer’s rights exploitation including the various courier services where the letters or parcel which has been paid for home delivery never performed in that manner but having the behaviour of calling over phone with a request to come and collect it at the their counter. Recently the NVCO received a complaint letter from a retired bureaucrat that courier service counter refused to bring it to his residence where he has already paid for home delivery and another complaint over the phone from a top ranking retired judge stating that despite of knowing his status the courier counter in Dimapur refused to deliver to his home with a reason that they do not have man power. The NVCO condemned the action of the people who were running courier services in any name/form for not delivering the stuff/letters/parcel to the consumer’s home which has been paid already and may this condemnation be considered as a strong warning to the service providers. Receiving verbal complaint from several consumers on shortage of weightments at the butcher shop situated at Lower Chandmari junction/taxi stand, Kohima, the President of NVCO Kezhokhoto Savi personally went to visit the said butcher shop early morning on 5th Sept, 2018 and detected that an extra meat/ bones were kept at one corner of the plate where meat is kept for measurement and the balance is kept in such a manner where buyers could not see and at this instance NVCO President asked the non-local man who alone could expertly manage the entire work to empty the plate and others to make sure that balance is accurate and all of a sudden the non-local guy was pulling down the entire set of balance inside to which the President asked him not to do so. The non-local man proudly pulled down the entire set of balance which compelled the President to go inside and asked him to remove the
extra portion keeping in a plate used for measurement and also found the meat which could not be sold on the previous day to which the butcher would mixed with the fresh meat for sale. The said butcher shop does not have license. The NVCO condemned the action of the butchers for their misbehaviours and unethical business technique. The NVCO has also received a complaint that a Notice Inviting Tender (NIT) was invited by the Director of Postal Services, Nagaland Division, Kohima for hiring office premises building on lease/rent and to which several of them had participated and the complainant’s building was selected but thereafter no communication was made despite the lapse of considerable time. The complainant wrote several letters to the Postal department to which the Director of Postal, Nagaland Division, Kohima vide letter dated 02.05.2017 wrote to the complainant expressing his regret for the inability to finalise the shifting of office to the complainant’s building despite the lapse of 10(ten) months and thereafter no communication on the part of Postal department despite of repeated letters by the complainant and went to the extent of proposing to issue a fresh tender(NIT). And since then the complainant was make to keep her building unoccupied incurring huge financial loss on the rent she could have collected if only her building had been rented out to others. Considering the above mentioned complaint against the Postal department, it is found out that the Postal Department as central department has been taking the local citizen for a ride which also amounts to violation of consumer rights as per the provision of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. It is also learnt that the present standing office building of Postal, Kohima is not fit for standing and it must be dismantled at the earliest. The said Postal Office, Kohima building creates huge danger to offices nearby as it can be collapsed anytime as per the findings of the expert. Press & Media Cell, NVCO

Visiting Nagaland for the first time
s a New Zealander visiting Nagaland for the first time, I am struck by the grandeur of the mountains, the villages clinging to the sides of steep slopes, and Kohima town functioning on top of a mountain range. The ingenuity, the courage and stamina of your people, living in such challenging geography is an inspiration. The Naga people I have been privileged to meet and whose hospitality I have enjoyed, have been ever
friendly and courteous. But coming from a country which has challenging terrain itself, my husband and I were appalled at the conditions local people have to endure with your new four lane highway under construction by the National Highway Authority of India. It is of course a wonderful dream to link Dimapur and Kohima in a superhighway, but the logic of doing it all at once instead of in stages clearly puts all those using
the road, locals and tourists alike, under extreme pressure. While it is true that retaining walls are in position over some of the route, the potential for hillsides to slip shows that more attention needs to be given to land stability - the lengthy diversions already in place are a constant reminder of that. Nor is there clear evidence of drainage ditches to carry away monsoon rains. The unfortunate result of roadbuilding activ-
ity is that large stretches of road have become stream beds with monsoon rain flowing in the middle of them instead of in the drains. The endless pot holes are caused by these same streams. I do hope that those in authority will plan how to ease the situation for the long suffering public and visitors like us who wish the best for the Naga people.

PM gifts projects worth over Rs 550 cr to Varanasi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi speaks during the inauguration of various development projects, in Varanasi, Tuesday, September 18.
VARANASI, SEP 18 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi Tuesday launched various development projects worth over Rs 550 crore in his Lok Sabha constituency and noted that the landscape of the city has changed for good in the last four years while it was at the mercy of the Lord under previous governments. The projects inaugurated include Integrated Power Development Scheme (IPDS) for Puraani Kashi and Atal Incubation Centre at Banaras Hindu University (BHU). Among the projects for which the foundation stones were laid was the Regional Ophthalmology Centre at BHU. Wrapping up his twoday visit to Varanasi, Modi said work done in the city is clearly visible.
“Our endeavour is to bring a transformation in Kashi, while keeping intact its traditions and preserving its age-old heritage. Otherwise you have been witness to the system, when our Kashi was at the mercy of Bholey (Bholey ke Bharosey), and it was left to its fate,” Modi said. Four years ago people of Kashi had resolved to transform the pilgrim town and today the difference is clearly visible, he said, taking a jibe at previous governments. The prime minister said a particular file relating to laying of ring road was gathering dust before 2014 “as the previous government did not allow the project to gather pace as it feared that if the work is done, then Modi will be eulogised”.
The prime minister said only after Yogi Adityanath took over the state, that work is going on expeditiously. Besides Adityanath, UP BJP chief Mahendra Nath Pandey was present on the occasion. In his 40-minute address, he said projects worth Rs 550 crore have either been dedicated to the public or foundation stones laid today. “This development work not only covers Varanasi but adjoining areas as well,” he said. Striking an emotional chord with the audience, Modi began his speech in local dialect and chanted “Har, Har, Mahadev”, amid loud applause from the audience at the amphitheatre of BHU. “It is indeed a matter of pride for me that I am starting another year dedicated to the country with the blessings of Baba Vishwanath and Maa Ganga. Your affection and blessings always motivate me and also strengthen my resolve to serve you and the countrymen,” he said. The prime minister, who represents Varanasi in the Lok Sabha said, “Before becoming an MP, when I used to visit here, I used to wonder when will this city be freed from the mesh of entangled electricity wires hanging overhead”.

Observing that India is a relatively closed economy, he said the contribution of the net exports to growth in April to June quarter was again stronger than expected and the real depreciation of the rupee can be expected to reinforce this trend. “On the other hand, the depreciation will obviously raise the prices of imported goods such as oil and petroleum products, potentially putting an upward pressure on inflation,” he said. The Reserve Bank of India has taken the rising oil import prices into the account when it raised the policy rates in its last two meetings, he noted. Referring to a recent report of the IMF on India, Rice said the Indian economy is recovering strongly from the two transitory disruptions in recent years - the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and demonetisation. India announced the demonetisation of all Rs
500 and 1000 banknotes in November 2016 to crack down on the use of illicit and counterfeit cash. The GST was launched in July 2017. “Growth has been gradually accelerating in recent quarters, with strength in both consumption and investment, which have helped the economy,” he said. Noting that the first quarter growth figures were somewhat stronger than the IMF had anticipated, Rice said the world body will be reviewing its forecast for India, taking account of it and the recent global developments. Rice said the IMF continues to assess the impact of demonetisation on an ongoing basis. As with most things, there have been pluses and there have been minuses of demonetisation, he said. “The demonetisation did hinder the money supply, creating cash shortages, which also somewhat dampened consumer and business sentiment,” he said, adding, it resulted in relative slowdown in growth. “On the other hand, its positive effects, I think, included enhanced digitalisation and higher formalisation of the economy, which would help raise, amongst other things, the revenue and tax compliance,” he said.
New Delhi, Sep 18 (PTI): Stock investors became poorer by Rs.2.72 lakh crore in two days of market fall which saw the BSE benchmark index diving almost 800 points. Market benchmark BSE Sensex on Tuesday tumbled by about 295 points or 0.78% to close at 37,290.67 due to increasing crude oil prices and mounting trade tension. It had lost 505.13 points or 1.33% on Monday as rupee woes and trade war worries spooked investors. Led by the sharp fall in stocks, the market capitalisation (m-cap) of BSElisted companies plunged Rs.2,72,549.15 crore to Rs.1,53,64,470 crore since Friday. “Selling pressure increased on the bourses due to spike in oil prices,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services Ltd. Flaring up of trade tariff tensions between the US and China and weakness in the rupee have also added to weak investor sentiment. From the 30-share basket, 24 stocks ended with losses led by SBI, Tata Motors, Bajaj Auto and Axis Bank. At the BSE, 1,805 stocks declined, while 881 advanced and 162 remained unchanged Tuesday. As many as 140 stocks hit their respective 52-week low levels.

Washington, Sep 18 (PTI): The Indian rupee has ‘effectively’ depreciated only 6-7 per cent this year after adjusting it to inflation, almost half of the actual drop in the value of the currency this year, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said. The IMF, however, war ned that the r upee depreciation would jack up the prices of imported goods such as oil and petroleum products, potentially putting an upward pressure on inflation. IMF spokesperson Gerry Rice said the currencies of many of India’s trading partners, including those in the emerging markets, too have depreciated against the dollar. “As a result, so far this year the real effective depreciation of the Indian rupee compared to December 2017, by our estimates, is between six and seven per cent,” Rice said. The real effective exchange rate (REER) is the weighted average of a country’s currency in relation to an index or basket of other major currencies, adjusted for the effects of inflation. The Indian currency has since the beginning of the year lost almost 13 per cent in value vis a vis the US dollar. He was responding to a question on the fall of the Indian currency in the last few months.

China hits back at Trump Slaps tariffs on American goods worth USD 60 bn
Beijing, Sep 18 (PTI): China Tuesday hit back at the US with tariffs on USD 60 billion worth of American goods, in a tit-for-tat move that came hours after President Donald Trump slapped duties on USD 200 billion worth of Chinese imports. President Trump on Tuesday slapped 10 per cent tariffs on USD 200 billion worth of Chinese imports and the duties will rise to whopping 25 per cent at the end of the year, escalating the trade war with the world’s second largest economy. He alleged that China had been unwilling to change its unfair trade practices and the new additional tariff structure would give fair and reciprocal treatment to American firms. “If the United States insists on raising tariffs even more, China will respond accordingly,” China’s finance ministry said in a statement. “In order to safeguard our legitimate rights and interests and the global free trade order, China will have
to take countermeasures,” the country’s Ministry of Commerce said in a statement, adding that “We deeply regret this”. The Chinese government said it will hit back with tariffs of up to 10 per cent on an additional USD 60 billion in American goods following Trump’s escalation by slapping higher border taxes on nearly all US exports to China, a media report said. Trump also warned China against any retaliation, saying if Beijing retaliated this time, the US would impose further tariffs on another USD 267 billion worth of products virtually covering almost all Chinese exports to the US totalling about USD 522.9 billion. According to official figures, US goods and servic-
es trade with China totalled an estimated USD 710.4 billion in 2017 of which US exports were USD 187.5 billion and imports were USD 522.9 billion. Trump has been pressuring China to reduce the trade deficit with the US, totalling to USD 335.4 billion in 2017. Trump, who has been demanding that China should reduce trade deficit immediately by USD 100 billion, recently called for talks to resolve the issue. In Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang on Tuesday gave no inkling about how China’s plans to retaliate Trump’s new round of tariffs and said it brought more uncertainties to future round of talks. “I want to say that China has to respond to uphold
Typhoon toll reaches 74 in Philippines

Manila, Sep 18 (IANS): The death toll in the Philippines due to super typhoon Mangkhut increased to 74 on Tuesday as rescue teams continued to search for dozens of people buried in an abandoned mine due to landslides. According to the latest figures provided by the National Police, 55 people were missing and 74 injured due to the strongest typhoon of the season, which lashed parts of Luzon island on the northernmost tip of the Philippines on Saturday, re-
ports Efe news. The highest number of casualties was reported from the mining town of Itogon in Benguet province, where massive floods and landslides buried a gold mine and four barracks where some miners and their families had been living illegally. President Rodrigo Duterte visited the families of the victims in Itogon on Monday and handed over a cheque for 45,000 pesos ($832) to each of them, apart from providing material for basic necessities and
aid for the last rites of the victims. Three days after the passage of the devastating Mangkhut, more than 20,000 people remained displaced from their homes while an estimated 590,000 people have been affected by the storm. Currently the four worst-hit provinces Abra, Benguet, Cagayan and Ilocos Norte have been declared to be in a state of calamity due to the scale of the damage caused by the typhoon.
our legitimate rights and interests, the order of free trade,” Geng told reporters. “This measure by US side added more uncertainties to the talks between the two sides,” he said. Asked how the two sides plan to end the trade war, Geng said “We have been stressing that talks need to happen on the basis of equality and good faith so as to resolve the issues between the two sides. What the US has done shows no sincerity, no good faith at all,” he said. To another question on whether China viewed escalation of tariff war by the US as an attempt to contain Beijing’s rise, Geng said, “regarding containment, I have never heard of that from any US official. “We have been repeating that sound and steady development of China-US ties serves the fundamental interest of the two sides and what the international community wishes to see”.China had earlier retaliated twice by imposing additional tariffs on imported products from the US.
Bomb attacks in Iraq kill 6 policemen B a g h da d, S e p 1 8 (IANS): At least six police officers were killed on Tuesday and eight were wounded in two bomb attacks in Iraq’s Saladin province, a day after government forces launched an operation against militants in the area, officials said. Police Lt. Col. Mohamed Ali Ibrahim said the first explosive device killed five officers and wounded four as they were travelling in a police vehicle in the AlFatha area, 50 km north of the provincial capital Tikrit, Efe news reported. In the second incident, one policeman was killed and four were injured by an explosive device at a guard post at a water treatment plant in Al-Shirqat. Iraqi security forces have recently carried out several operations in Saladin province against alleged cells of the Islamic State terror organization.
Washington, Sep 18 (IANS): The death toll from hurricane Florence that battered the US states of North and South Carolina has increased to 31, authorities said. Of the 31 fatalities, six died in South Carolina and the other 25 in North Carolina, Efe news quoted the authorities as saying on Monday. Several people died of drowning, others were involved in traffic accidents and some killed by trees that fell on their houses, including two children in separate incidents. Hundreds of thousands of people had to abandon their homes, thousands had to be evacuated and some 500,000 remain without electricity. According to data published on Monday by the National Hurricane Centre (NHC), Florence is moving away from the two affected states at a speed of 22 kph after causing heavy rainfall in the area over the entire weekend. “This is a monumental disaster for our state,” North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper said Monday.

Pyongyang, Sep 18 (IANS): South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un held their first round of talks here on Tuesday in a historic summit largely aimed at restarting a Washington-Pyongyang dialogue on denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Moon arrived in Pyongyang earlier on Tuesday for a three-day visit, becoming the third South Korean leader in history to have visited the North Korean capital, reports Yonhap News Agency. The third MoonKim meeting was held at the headquarters of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea.
This is also the first time the North Korean leader has hosted any foreign leader at the headquarters. The two leaders first met in the border village of Panmunjom on April 27 and then again on May 26. Also on the agenda is the further reduction of military tension between the divided Koreas and improvement in their bilateral relations, which Moon says will help promote and even accelerate the North’s denuclearization process. Moon and Kim will meet again on Wednesday for a second round of talks. Depending on the outcome of their talks, the two leaders may hold a joint press conference in
Russia, Turkey to establish demilitarized zone in Idlib Moscow, Sep 18 (IANS): Russia and Turkey have decided to set up a demilitarized zone between the armed opposition and the government troops in Syria’s Idlib province by October 15, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday. The demilitarized zone with a depth of 15-20 km will be created along the contact line of the armed opposition and the government forces, Putin said at a joint press conference following talks with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Russia’s Sochi, Xinhua reported. Mobile patrol groups consisting of Turkish army units and Russian military police units will control the situation in the demilitarized zone, Putin said, according to a Kremlin press release. “Russia and Turkey reaffirmed their determination to fight terrorism in Syria in all its forms and manifestations,” Putin said.

There will be no military operation against the armed opposition in Idlib and the Russian military will soon coordinate with the Syrian forces, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said following the Putin-Erdogan meeting. The Syrian government forces backed by Russia and Iran were preparing an offensive against the rebels’ last major stronghold in Idlib, although Turkey and the United States have repeatedly warned against any operation. Ankara and Washington reject the possible offensive in Idlib, citing that it could cause great civilian casualties and even a humanitarian disaster. However, Erdogan’s call for a cease-fire in Idlib, which borders Turkey, was accepted neither by Russia nor Iran at the tripartite summit in Tehran on September 7.

The show began with a satirical musical number on Hollywood’s diversity problem, led by two stalwarts -- Kenan Thompson and Kate McKinnon.

In a taped segment midway through the broadcast, the show returned to diversity as a theme, with Che handing out “reparations Emmys” to black actors from past shows, including Jimmie Walker and John Witherspoon.

The film highlights the untapped potential of India’s talented craftsmen and skilled workers at the grassroot level and the challenges and issues faced by them. Varun and Anushka, the star cast of the film, have partnered with Skill India and will dedicate time to promote India’s skilled talent and their fine work by engaging with them in different parts of the country. “Varun Dhawan and Anushka Sharma, through this unique film ‘Sui Dhaaga - Made in India’, are bringing to focus the incredible skills and talent of our homegrown artisan and craftsmen community,” Union Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said

Led by the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), Skill India aims to standardise vocational training -- both new-age and traditional skills, and helps in the creation of the latest infrastructure, ensures industry partnerships to extend technology support to make the youth more employable and assists in creating opportunities of employment for the youth

Fans are petitioning for Arctic Monkeys to play Knebworth

The band, who are currently in the midst of a UK arena tour to promote their acclaimed 2018 album ‘Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino‘, currently have no dates scheduled for 2019 – but are rumoured to headline either Glastonbury or Reading & Leeds festival. Now, there’s a fan campaign for the Sheffield indie veterans to follow in the footsteps of the likes of Oasis and The Rolling Stones by playing a historic gig at the 125,000 capacity Knebworth Park. “Arctic Monkeys have established themselves as a truly iconic British band,” the petition reads. “Having released their ambitious sixth album earlier this year, followed by an astounding run of recent live performances, it’s time for Arctic Monkeys to join the list of legendary artists (Led Zeppelin, Oasis, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Queen and more)

Earlier this month, “The Crown” won best cast in a drama at the Creative Arts Emmys. Lorne Michaels, the 73-year-old behind “Saturday Night Live”, not only left the Microsoft Theatre with the Emmy for best variety sketch series, he also produced the broadcast for NBC.

Rachel Brosnahan, who plays the show’s title character, won for best actress in a comedy, the first new winner in that category in seven years. Sherman-Palladino won for directing and writing, in addition to the best comedy series award. And Alex Borstein, who plays Mrs. Maisel’s manager, took the award for best supporting actress. The triumph of “... Mrs. Maisel” was a blow to the comedy “Atlanta,” a critical favourite. Donald Glover, the show’s star and creator, took the prize for best actor in a comedy last year.

It was to become the beneficiaries, rather than victims, of these matchwinning moments, that Juve seemingly decided last summer the only way to win the Champions League before Ronaldo retires is to have Ronaldo on your team. They begin that assault on Wednesday, when the 33-year-old will kick a ball competitively in Spain for the first time since his dizzying 100 million-euro move from Madrid. Valencia are the obstacle at the Mestalla, where he scored twice for his former team last term.

VA L E N CIA , S e p 1 8 (Agencies): No player owns as many Champions League titles as Cristiano Ronaldo but a sixth with Juventus would surely be his best of the lot. Ronaldo played the lead role in all of those five previous triumphs, from his towering header for Manchester United against Chelsea in 2008 to the tie-clinching, 97th-minute penalty against Juventus last season in the quarters. In between, there were the 17 goals he scored in every game but one en route to the trophy in 2014, the title-winning penalty against Atletico Madrid in 2016 and the hat-trick against the same opposition, this
Many were shocked when Ronaldo drew a line under his time in the Spanish capital, with most believing his complaints to be the latest round of posturing aimed at those higher at the club. They were, but this time he meant it. More trophies and records would inevitably have followed at Madrid but instead he started again, risking his reputation for somewhere new. There is risk too for Juventus, who have shelled out the first three-figure sum ever paid for a player in their thirties, and one that represents a very different model to the free-flowing forward that used to terrorise defences left, right and centre. The Ronaldo who Real Madrid decided could be sold is a predator that limits his exertions to the penalty box, with the caveat he can still run fast, jump high and shoot with both feet. His first Juve goal against Sassuolo on Sunday was a tap-in from a yard out, his second a driven left-footed shot into the corner. After three games without finding the net, even Ronaldo had been feeling the pressure. The real pressure, however, will come in Europe where Juventus’ investment will be judged. The club’s pursuit of a first Champions League success since 1996 has become an obsession and Ronaldo is supposed to be the last piece in the puzzle.
Tokyo, Sep 18 (Agencies): Johanna Konta eased into the last 16 of the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo with a straight-sets win over Gabriela Dabrowski.

Mumbai, Sep 18 (PTI): Triple jumper and Asian Games gold medallist Arpinder Singh aims at a podium finish at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics after becoming the first Indian to clinch a medal in the IAAF Continental Cup.

Next year, there is Asian Track and Field (athletics championships) and the World Championships and I hope to do well in these tournaments,” Arpinder told reporters here Tuesday. After the Asiad gold, Arpinder created history by becoming the first Indian to win a medal in the IAAF Continental Cup at Ostrava in Czech Republic as he clinched bronze with a modest effort of 16.59 metres. “My target is the To-

If we give our best, I’m sure we will get a medal. 17.17 is my best and even this year I did 17.09 in the inter-state (meet), so my performance
has been very good. I am sure that I will get a medal in the World Championships if I do 17.40, which is my target,” he said. Arpinder had jumped 16.77 metres in the Asian Games held in Palembang and Jakarta to clinch India’s first gold medal at the continental show-piece in 48 years in triple jump. The 2014 Commonwealth Games bronze med-
allist has a personal best of 17.17 metres which he recorded in 2014. Though he clinched a bronze at the IAAF Continental Cup, Arpinder lamented that the functions post the Asian Games hampered his training, which affected his performance. “A f t e r t h e A s i a n Games, there were 10 days for the IAAF Continental. We came back and there were lot of functions, so training could not happen and the strength level went down....So our performance did not come good there. “Next year I hope to do well,” the athlete said. He said he took to triple jump after trying his hand at other events. “I started off in 100 metres but I failed. I was around 10-12 years old. Then I failed in 200 metres, 400 metres and then long jump. My father was very disappointed,” he said about his journey before taking to triple jump.
