lan (Xeroxed copy) instead of the original issued by DMC office. The challans also did not bear the signature of the official contractleasee. A truck driver when questioned said he has been paying whatever amount demanded but the challans reflected much lesser amount.

PAC volunteers also found that DMC contract-leassees were collecting Rs.800 for pickup trucks bringing in poultry as against Rs.70 as fixed by DMC and state government.

PAC officials had to order the DMC’s contractleassees to issue only DMC official challans and rate as fixed by DMC. DMC asked to clarify Meanwhile, ACAUT Nagaland has demanded

clarification from Dimapur Municipal Council (DMC) to as to the specific approval of the tax supposed to be levied on cement.

ACAUT through its media cell maintained that there could be provision of octroi for municipality to tax but questioned why it was charging Rs 2.50 tax per bag of cement in spite of GST bill along with e-way bill ?

ACAUT pointed out that as per Nagaland GST Act, 2017 section 173 states that municipality taxes “shall stand annulled” and in other cases subsumed. It said GST billing automatically includes the Nagaland State Government share of tax benefits.

Further, ACAUT also pointed out that imposing

BJP MLAs to adopt villages

DIMAPUR, SEP 19 (NPN): Nagaland state BJP legislators have decided to adopt a particular village from each other’s constituencies in their effort to take the Prime Minister’s Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana (SAGY) down to the assembly constituency level.

The BJP legislators took this decision at a meeting held in the official residence of the deputy chief minister and BLP leader Y. Patton on September 19, 2019 in presence of the BJP state president, Temjen Imna Along, ministers and advisors. In a press release, Dy. CMO media cell said the Yojana was a rural development programme broadly focusing upon the development in the villages, which includes social development, cultural development and spread motivation among the people on social mobilization of the village community.

Under the SAGY, each MP adopts a Gram Panchayat and guides its holistic progress giving importance for social development at par with infrastructure.

ZSUN serves ultimatum on DoSE

DIMAPUR, SEP 19 (NPN): Zeliangrong Students’ Union Nagaland (ZSUN) has served an ultimatum on the Department of School Education (DoSE) to cancel the redeployment order of two Mathematics teachers, who were posted at GMS Ngam Village and GMS Old Ngaulong Village, within seven days. In a press release, ZSUN president Dithuibo Newmai and vice president Sangwangbou Shingbengmai cautioned that if the department failed to meet its demand within the stipulated period, the union and its federating units would be compelled to shut down all the government schools in the district. ZSUN expressed disappointment that the department disregarded its representation submitted on July 8, 2019.

“royalty tax” was for produce from one’s own state and by taxing royalty on minerals produced from other states by the forest department and geology and mining department amounted to double taxation. ACAUT said this action has compromised the legality of the true sense of royalty tax as it was not inter-chargable between two states.

ACAUT has, therefore, sought clarification and requested the responsible authority to rectify the matter at the earliest.

Meanwhile, ACAUT has extended its support and cooperation to PAC to realise the public resolution of “one government one tax”.

PAC stops royalty tax Public Action Committee (PAC) has re-affirmed its earlier decision to prevent collection(s) of royalty by forest department and geology & mining department until the state government gave a clear decision and made known the outcome to the public. This was despite the Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Dimapur directing range officers and beat officers in the district to immediately suspend revenue

collection at check gates.

PAC co-convener K Ghokheto Chophy and secretary Hilo Semp have requested DC Dimapur to take immediate action on the representation submitted by the PAC in this regard.

PAC has also asked DMC to immediately display charts of all commodities in all the designated toll booths. It also demanded that collections of toll tax at any undesignated toll booth/points be withdrawn or stopped immediately.

PAC disclosed that transporters at the meeting Thursday, informed that price of sand (Deopani) has dropped by Rs.4000 per truck load after illegal taxations were stopped during the past four days. PAC also said prices of other essential commodities have also come down.

At a meeting with DMC and food & civil supply (F&CS) department, PAC said it has emerged that prices were controlled and regulated by three departments - DMC, F&CS department in coordination with DCCI and which has been causing fluctuation of prices in the market.

Banks to hold ‘loan melas’: FM

NEW DELHI/MUMBAI, SEP 19 (AGENCIES): To boost liquidity in the economy, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman today said public sector banks will organise credit “Shamiana meetings” with NBFCs and retail borrowers in 400 districts beginning next week to provide credit to borrowers, including homebuyers and farmers.

The open house public meetings will be held in two tranches. The first will be held between October 3 and 7 in 200 districts, while the remaining 200 will be covered October 11 onwards.

“MoS for Finance Anurag Thakur will look after this scheme,” Sitharaman said at a press conference after meeting PSU bank heads.

Sitharaman said the idea is to ensure maximum credit disbursal during the festive season. Diwali, which falls in October this year, is considered as the biggest shopping season of the country.

During the public meetings, credit will be provided for retail, agriculture, MSME and housing sector, among others.

She also announced that banks won’t declare

any stressed loan account of MSMEs as NPA till March 2020 and work on recasting their debt.

“There already exists a circular from the Reserve Bank that provides for stressed loan accounts of MSMEs not being declared non-performing assets (NPAs),” she said.

“Banks will also look at MSMEs seeking one-time settlement,” she said. “Government wants banks to recast MSME loans instead of declaring it a NPA,” she added.

Finance minister has asked banks for details on one-time settlement of loans during July-September.

Room for interest rate cuts: RBI gov After surprising everyone with four successive rate cuts this year, Reserve Bank governor Shaktikanta Das Thursday said “there is more room” to do so given the growth deceleration and stable inflation that is likely to stay below target for a year or so. However, the governor was quick to add that there is little fiscal space for the government to unveil any countercyclical measures to boost the sagging

growth and the only way to revive the growth engine is to front-load the budgeted capex, hinting that only an easy money policy can help salvage the situation.

Since assuming charge mid-December, the Das-led rate- setting panel has delivered four successive rates cuts, with the fourth one last month being the most surprising and unconventional one as he chose to deliver a 35 bps repo cut.

CS launches campaign awareness on rights of PwDs Correspondent

KOHIMA, SEP 19 (NPN): In order to sensitize and create awareness about the rights of Person with Disabilities (PwDs), the state chief secretary, Temjen Toy, officially launched the sensitisation and awareness campaign on Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act 2016 for state government officials in the Nagaland Civil Secretariat conference hall here on Thursday.

The awareness programme was organised by Mission Mode Team, (Accessible India Campaign), in collaboration with the office of state commissioner for person with disabilities.

In his address, chief secretary expressed hope that the campaign would adequately sensitise all the state departments to address the need of accessibility for PwDs in the state.

Observing that Nagas

were very conscious of their rights when it concerns them, the chief secretary, however, said that they were least bothered about other people’s rights.

Pointing out that rights of PwDs were often ignored, the chief secretary said “it is only when we start visualising ourselves in their shoes, we realised their rights.”

He suggested that all public government buildings in the State be made accessible to person with disability. Toy hoped that the awareness would not only be about accessibility, but also equal respect to the rights of the disability and

sensitise the whole state.

A similar event on awareness campaign on RPwD Act 2016 for state government departments was held at the Capital Convention Centre Kohima Thursday at 2pm. The event would also be held at PHQ conference hall, Kohima on September 20 for directorates from around PHQ and at DC conference hall, Dimapur for HoDs and all head of offices in Dimapur district on September 27, 2019.

Nagaland at zero level in implementation RPwD 2016 Act: State Commissioner for Person with Dis-

abilities, Diethono Nakhro, on Thursday lamented that Nagaland was at zero level in implementation of various provisions when it comes to the Rights of Person with Disabilities (RPWD) Act 2016.

Speaking at the launching of the sensitisation and awareness campaign on RPWD Act 2016 for state government officials, she said Nagaland has a very poor track record of implementing disability laws and practically at zero level in implementation of various provisions of the Act. Giving an overview of RPwD Act 2016, she said the Act was delayed for about a year and half in the state where it was adopted only on September 27, 2018 and the state disability rules was notified on August 16, 2019, which was delayed about two years.

State Commissioner for PwDs pointed out that there was no current data

on disability and the only data available was of census 2011. As per the last census, she said that 1.5% of the state population was disabled, which did not include the new specified disabilities, but an underestimation.

Nakhro said Nagaland was the only state in the entire country that did not have even a single proper disability rehabilitation facilities or resource centre.

“There is a not even single facility for people with severe disabilities and those with high support needs,” she said.

She said social security pension was also in a pathetic state, adding that Rs 300 per month was given as pension –the lowest among the lowest in the country.

Less than 500 out of the present 29,631 (census 2011) are receiving any kind of financial assistance, she mentioned.

Give a clarion call to all Nagas to remain united DIMAPUR, SEP 19 (NPN): 14 Naga tribes of Nagaland, who held a consultative meeting with NSCN (I-M) at Camp Hebron on September 14, 2019 and the WC of 7 NNPGs at Niathu Resort on September 15, 2019 to discuss on the protracted “Indo-Naga” political solution, have given a clarion call to each and every Naga to remain united and focus on the core issue of the Naga talks for an early solution leaving aside all personal differences.

As resolved on August 31, 2019 at Hotel Acacia, the leadership of 14 tribes of Nagaland said that 14 tribes under a single banner met the different Naga po-

litical groups (NPGs) with the sole objective to convey that all Nagas were united and extend fullest support to both the groups engaged in peace talks with the government of India. They said it was the desire of all Nagas in all Naga inhabited areas for unity leaving aside personal differences or gains for a single accord with the government of India paving way for a permanent peace in the region.

The 14 tribes appreci-

ated the “quantum progress” in the peace talks and acknowledged the “selfless sacrifices and contributions made by the Naga national workers.” They also said that the framework agreement was a historic achievement, which was a result of effort and sweat put in by the Naga negotiators and would be acknowledged by every Naga for the sacrifice made.

Asserting that Nagas have shed enough blood in the past leaving many widows and orphans, they said Naga soil cannot therefore be used again for arm conflict, bloodshed and build cemeteries, but actual development benefiting all Nagas was the need of the hour.

The 14 tribes affirmed to continue to extend “fullest co-operation” for an early peaceful, acceptable and lasting solution to the Naga political issue.

The forest officials when asked, replied as to they did not heard any sort of suspicious activity when apparently the trees were cut. However they were able to recover the cut tree before the smugglers were able to make away with it.

Expressing their plight, the forest official said that it becomes very difficult to tackle the menace of timber smuggling due to lack of men power as of

which if the officials takes one direction, the smugglers uses the other way round. Further, the official also added that state forests are literally unarmed in the face of smugglers with sophisticated weapons and unscrupulous locals have been known to be not only a part of these gangs but are active in cutting down these high value trees.

According to officials, there is only one range forest officer and a forester to look after more than 23 sq kms of forests in the Dainadubi area. The situation is exacerbated sometimes due to unofficial leaves taken by forest employees leaving things at the mercy of smugglers, who mainly work through the night to denude forests.

A local resident of Dainadubi said that the same forest product does not even have to get on to the main road in Meghalaya.

They mainly use side roads where checking is minimal and minimum kickbacks, if any, have to be paid. They generally have very good connections

UCM cautions MLAs on Naga peace accord and Manipur’s territorial integrity Correspondent

IMPHAL, Sep 19: A “oneday public alert meeting on possible settlement of Naga peace accord” hosted

by United Committee Manipur (UCM) in Imphal on Thursday reaffirmed people’s stand for the territorial integrity of Manipur.

While reaffirming the stand, the alert meeting cautioned ministers and MLAs of the BJP-led coalition government that they must bear the sole responsibility if Centre compromise Manipur’s territorial integrity while settling the vexed Naga political issue.

Many social activists and academicians deliberated on the possible outcome of the Naga peace process which according to Nagaland Gover nor RN Ravi Prime Minister had expressed his desire to conclude the peace accord within three months during the public alert meeting held in Imphal’s Lamyanba Shanglen.

UCM general secre-

tary Kh Athouba initiated the discussion presided

by UCM president Sunil Karam and moderated by RK Ranendrajit, a consultative member of the UCM After giving a brief account of UCM’s motive behind hosting the public alert meeting, Athouba cautioned the ministers and MLAs of the incumbent BJP-led government if the Centre takes undue advantage of the prevailing political crisis over leadership change to settle the Naga peace accord.

He worried that if the Centre imposes President Rule in the state and enters into an agreement with the NSCN (I-M) infringing the interest of Manipur then the ministers and MLAs of the incumbent government will bear the sole responsibility.

They would be penalised by the people of the state, he said.

He said that if the recent statement of Nagaland Governor RN Ravi who is also the interlocutor of

the Naga peace talks was taken into account, GoI and NSCN(IM) were hectically negotiating to arrive at a final accord.

As such Manipur is in crucial situation and at his crucial time, ministers and MLAs of the incumbent government were in power tussle for the last around three months.The crisis in the government may give a chance to the Centre for imposing President Rule in the state. If there is President Rule then who know Centre took the advantage like it had done in Jammu and Kashmir, he added.

He reminded that Centre had taken the undue advantage of President Rule in Jammu and Kashmir to abrogate Article 370 of Indian Constitution to scrap the special status given to Jammu and Kashmir.

The Centre further divided the state into two Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.

Centre had done all these after imposing President Rule in the state after

taking advantage of political unrest in the state.

“Doing the same to disintegrate Manipur cannot be ruled out,” he said while strongly condemning the ongoing more than three month long power tussle in the present State government.

The political crisis in the BJP-led coalition government was still yet to be resolved as MLAs in the rebel camp were camping in New Delhi to press party’s national leaders to address their demand of removing N Biren Singh as chief minister.

The Centre will not hesitate in concluding the peace process with the NSCN (I-M) after imposing President Rule and bypassing the state government in settling the Naga political issue, he said.

The general secretary further cautioned that if the Centre bypassed the state and agreed to redraw Manipur’s map then it will amount to creating a bigger problem.

Every concern citizens of not only Manipur and Northeast states but also of the country would welcome ending the armed conflict in the region. But, if the Centre hurt the sentiment of other states while ending the armed conflict in Nagaland, it will create a bigger problem which would not be welcome by all section of people, he said.

GoI must not create 10 problems while resolving one problem. he said and added that they (GoI) should not think resolving all the problems of the region by appeasing NSCN (I-M) only.

Mention may be made that UCM and other civil society organisations standing firm for safeguarding the territorial integrity of Manipur were feeling a sense of apprehension after the Centre abrogate Article 370 that gives special status to Jammu and Kashmir coupled with Nagaland Governor’s statement on Modi’s desire to conclude

the Naga peace process within three months period.

UCM had already started its preparatory alert campaign if at any point against the interest of Manipur’s territorial integrity was included while concluding the peace process.

UCM hosted today’s public meeting as a part of its preparatory alert campaign it has launched few days ago to aware the people on the possible settlement of Naga peace accord.

During the meeting, many social activists, scholars and academicians deliberated on the latest development of the Naga peace talks.

At the concluding part of the meeting, it was reaffirmed to stand united against any move distortion of Manipur’s territorial integrity and to oppose any settlement that infringe the interest of territorial integrity of Manipur and its unity in future.

We have to hug each Kashmiri, create new paradise: PM Modi NASHIK, SEP 19 (PTI): Blaming the Congress for the plight of Kashmiris for decades, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday called for “hugging each Kashmiri and creating a “new paradise” in the valley.

Launching the BJP’s poll campaign for the next month’s Maharashtra Assembly elections, Modi said a lot of efforts are being made from across the border to foment violence in Jammu and Kashmir.

“We have to create a new paradise (in Kashmir)... hug each Kashmiri,” he said. The decision to revoke provisions under Article 370 was a decision for the unity of India, Modi said.

“This decision is going to be the medium of fulfilling the aspirations and dreams of the people of Jammu and Kashmir,” he said.

“A lot of efforts are being taken from across the border to spread unrest and disbelief and foment violence in Jammu and Kashmir,” he said.

“The youth, mothers and sisters in Jammu and Kashmir have made up their mind to come out of the long period of violence.

They want development and new job opportunities,”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi looks on during the ‘Vijay Sankalp Rally’ in Nashik, Thursday. (PTI) he said.

Modi said, “We had promised that we will make new efforts to curb the problems in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. Today I can say with satisfaction that the country has started walking towards fulfilling those dreams” The implementation of the Constitution in totality in Jammu and Kashmir wasn’t just the decision of a government but was done keeping in view sentiments of 130 crore Indians, he said.

“This decision was taken to bring out people

of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh from violence, terrorism, separatism and corruption,” Modi said.

“Cattle don’t vote,” Modi said on criticism that his government’s programme to vaccinate 50 crore livestock is a political move.

The national animal disease control programme is aimed at eradicating foot and mouth disease and brucellosis in livestock and vaccinating over 50 crore livestock, including cattle, buffalo, sheep, goats and pigs against foot and mouth disease.

Shivakumar moved to Tihar after discharged from hospital NEW DELHI, SEP 19 (AGENCIES): Senior Congress leader DK Shivakumar was on Thursday sent to Tihar jail after he was discharged from the RML Hospital.

Shivakumar, arrested by the ED on September 3 in a money laundering case, was on Tuesday remanded in judicial custody for 14 days till October 1 by a Delhi court. Shivakumar was in the ED custody since his arrest.

Shivakumar, however, was admitted to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital after the court directed the ED to take him for a check-up.

A Delhi court on Wednesday deferred the hearing on the bail plea of Karnataka Congress leader D K Shivakumar, arrested in a money laundering case.

Special judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar posted the matter for hearing on September 19 after the Enforcement Directorate sought an adjournment.

ED had in September last year registered the money laundering case against Shivakumar, Haumanthaiah, an employee at Karnataka Bhavan in New Delhi, and others.

The case was registered based on a charge sheet (prosecution complaint) filed by the Income Tax Department against them last year before a special court here on charges of alleged tax evasion and hawala transactions worth crores.

Deol, Karisma in dock for pulling chain in 1997 JAIPUR, SEP 19 (PTI): A railway court has framed charges against Bollywood actor-turned-politician Sunny Deol and actress Karisma Kapoor more than 20 years after they allegedly pulled the emergency chain of a train while shooting for a film.

The duo challenged the order in a sessions court on Wednesday, A K Jain, counsel of Kapoor and Deol, said.

The actors were accused of illegally pulling the chain of train 2413-A Uplink Express, which led to its delay by 25 minutes.

The counsel said the charges were initially read out against both the actors in 2009, which they challenged in a sessions court in

Besides Deol and Ka-

Then assistant station master Sitaram Malakar of Narena had lodged a complaint at the General Railway Police, following which the actors were accused of violating Section 141 (needlessly interfering with the means of communication in a train), Section 145 (drunkenness or nuisance), Section 146 (obstructing a railway servant in his duties) and Section 147 (trespass and refusal to desist from trespass) of the Railways Act. In 1997, Deol and Kapoor, along with other crew members, were shooting for film ‘Bajrang’ at Sanvarda village near Phulera in Ajmer district.

Ayodhya: SC closes contempt case to 88-yrs-old man NEW DELHI, SEP 19 (PTI): The Supreme Court on Thursday closed a contempt case against an 88year-old retired public servant for writing letters cursing senior advocate Rajeev Dhavan for appearing for Muslim parties in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute case.

A five-judge Constitution bench, headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, said the man had expressed regret for using such objectionable words in his communication to Dhavan.

“Why are you saying all these things. You are an 88-year-old man. You don’t have respect for the law,” the bench, also comprising justices S A Bobde, D Y Chan-

davp 17112/11/0048/1920

drachud, Ashok Bhushan and S Abdul Nazeer, told advocate M Velmurugan, appearing for the octogenarian.

Velmurugan said that the man expresses regret for writing such letters to Dhavan. The bench, while accepting the apologies said that there should not be a repetition of such acts and ordered closure of the contempt case.

Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for Dhavan, said he does want any punishment for the retired public servant but a message should be sent across to all in the country that there should not be any intimidation of any counsel appearing for any party in the case.

The court had on September 3 issued notice to N Shanmugam, retired education officer, on Dhavan’s contempt plea for cursing him in a letter, saying physical disabilities will befall him for taking up the case on behalf of Muslim parties against the deity ‘Ram Lalla’.

Dhavan, who is appearing for lead petitioner M Siddiq and the All India Sunni Waqf Board in ongoing hearing in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute case, had said that he received a letter on August 14, 2019 from Shanmugam.

He had alleged that he has been accosted both at home and in court premises.

The plea had said that by sending the letter the alleged contemnor has committed criminal contempt because “he is intimidating a senior advocate who is appearing for a party/ parties before the apex court and discharging his duties as a senior advocate and he ought not to have sent such a letter”.

Court extends Chidambaram’s judicial custody till Oct 3 NEW DELHI, SEP 19 (PTI): A Delhi cour t Thursday extended till October 3 the judicial custody of former finance minister P Chidambaram in connection with the INX Media corruption case.

Special judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar also allowed medical examination of Chidambaram.

The court extended the judicial custody of Chidambaram after the CBI sought extension of the veteran Congress leader’s judicial remand.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for CBI, sought extension of the judicial custody and said there has been no change of circumstance from the day he was first sent to jail.

Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for Chidambaram, opposed the investigative agency’s plea to extend his judicial custody.

Sibal moved an application on behalf of Chidambaram seeking regular

Former finance minister P Chidambaram being taken to Tihar jail from Rouse Avenue Court, in New Delhi, Thursday. (PTI) medical checkup and adequate supplementary diet during judicial custody in Tihar Jail.

He said that the 73year old Congress leader is suffering from various ailments like coronary artery disease, hypertension, impaired glycemia and has lost weight during the custody, to which he was sent on September 5.

Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, also

appearing for Chidambaram, said the former minister had a chair in the hall outside his cell which has been taken away. “He can only sit on bed. He also has not been given a pillow”.

Allow him to be examined at AIIMS, Sibal said.

“Health of any inmate is of concern. Whatever is permissable in law, would be done by the jail authorities,” Mehta said.

The CBI had registered an FIR on May 15, 2017, alleging irregularities in the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) clearance granted to the INX Media group for receiving overseas funds of Rs 305 crore in 2007 during Chidambaram’s tenure as the finance minister.

Thereafter, the Enforcement Directorate lodged a money laundering case in this regard in 2017.

Men and material

n order to enhance policing in Nagaland, the state Police department has envisaged a slew of measures that are clearly impressive. These include creation of Special Task Force(STF) where jawans are trained to tackle more sophisticated crimes such as- in house intersection during kidnap and ransom situation, car or bus(or truck) jacking and search on suspected dens of criminals. In addition, the state police plans to create another specialised unit called State Security Guard(SSG) for providing special security to VVIPs and for anti-ambush situations. Also to enhance movement for the STF and SSG , the police has decided to purchase Isuzu pick up vehicles.

The other list includes modernisation of weaponry with purchase of latest rifles- X-95 Tavor Rifles and Ghatak 7.62 rifles. To complement investigation, the police plans to have Cyber Crime labs all over the district headquarters. A kind of sainik school type of curriculum is expected to be introduced in 12 government schools to instil discipline. Further, there will be rationalisation of manpower, re-training of personnel to various police academies besides promoting community policing by 2020. The police also envisages increase in number of personnel to be trained for establishing Tourist Police, which was unfolded during last year’s Hornbill Festival. In addition, the state police has unveiled an impressive set of uniform for the special forces. In short, the state police is moving on towards an impressive path under its “modernisation” plan. It may, however be pertinent to point out, that modernisation of the police forces does not begin or end with procurement of sophisticated weaponry and equipments or impressive uniforms as well as raising of new armed police battalions, special forces, IRB etc. It evident that when police modernisation has been going on in full steam for several years, there has been little change in the character of the force. Over the past four decades there have been a multitude of Committees, Panel, Reports and Recommendations, with clearly laid out roadmaps and supported by detailed descriptions on the kind of design and overhaul that is needed. Unfortunately, most of these reports end up in a black hole or gather dust in a filing cabinet. In fact, the Chief Justice of India in July 2009, lamented on the disinclination of states to implement police reform. The reason is that most of the states are not too interested in effecting Police Reform since it would mean loosening the political and bureaucratic grip on the force in all spheres.

If Police Reform was to be implemented, it would impact the selection system, training, procurement, promotion, transfer and size of the force. In many states, police recruitment system is a sham where thousands are taken in on the basis of extraneous considerations. Instilling professionalism in the police means ensuring independence in functioning, transparency and accountability. Transparency implies that the processes of decision-making and discipline-enforcement are open and visible to the public. It also comes with placing the right man or woman in the right place who would be amply rewarded for their achievements and also held accountable for their sins of omission or commission.

Nagaland Police is enjoys a good reputation as a professional fighting force and given the right leadership, training and motivation, the personnel have the potential of achieving new heights. This and not only equipment or uniform is the other more vital ingredient for true modernisation.

Are You Going on With Jesus?

You are those who have continued with Me in My trials. —Luke 22:28 It is true that Jesus Christ is with us through our temptations, but are we going on with Him through His temptations? Many of us turn back from going on with Jesus from the very moment we have an experience of what He can do. Watch when God changes your circumstances to see whether you are going on with Jesus, or siding with the world, the flesh, and the devil. We wear His name, but are we going on with Him? “From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more” (John 6:66).

The temptations of Jesus continued throughout His earthly life, and they will continue throughout the life of the Son of God in us. Are we going on with Jesus in the life we are living right now?

We have the idea that we ought to shield ourselves from some of the things God brings around us. May it never be! It is God who engineers our circumstances, and whatever they may be we must see that we face them while continually abiding with Him in His temptations. They are Histemptations, not temptations to us, but temptations to the life of the Son of God in us. Jesus Christ’s honor is at stake in our bodily lives. Are we remaining faithful to the Son of God in everything that attacks His life in us?

Are you going on with Jesus? The way goes through Gethsemane, through the city gate, and on “outside the camp” (Hebrews 13:13). The way is lonely and goes on until there is no longer even a trace of a footprint to follow— but only the voice saying, “Follow Me” (Matthew 4:19).

Post-mortem

Looking back to the past for a solution to the future C W hy must we look back to the past in order to find a solution for the future?

The answer is simply: “Because the present is too suffocating to go on.”

As breathing, seeing and hearing human being, one cannot help but see and hear the things that are going on around one. From my house at mission Compound, watching Kohima town at sunset is a beautiful sight to behold. But despite the golden exterior, I know that many problems lie simmering underneath.

These are the daily reports of gross corruptions in the State establishment, the exorbitant extortion’s in the name of Naga nationalism- all of which are leading to a very high cost of living for the ordinary citizen of Nagaland. All these evils are also leading to a general landslide of ethical moral and cultural values.

When one thinks and also experiences all these things on a daily basis, a cloud of despair descends upon one’s shoulders and darkens the soul within.

Surely, somewhere along the way, some other people had given some misinformation about Naga intentions and led others to misinterpret Naga intentions of freedom and friendship with their neighbours and the whole world. For the ordinary Naga citizen today, the premonition of despair is a very real and palpable one. Something indeed is very wrong with Naga politics, Naga economy and Naga society. I therefore think that it is imperative for every Naga to go back into our history and find the causes which have led to the present dilemma.

As already stated in an earlier article, at the initial stages of going our own separate ways, after the British left, the Nagas, had absolutely no ill will towards India in the late 1940’s. However, some other people bent on political mischief had made a simple issue into a very complex and fearful one. Some of these people projected Phizo as a violent man who was bent on going to war with India (though in actual fact, Phizo was one who had seen the horrible effects of war in Burma and was quite apprehensive for his

people’s fate in case a most unwanted war should erupted between Nagaland and India). Then there were other people who painted the Nagas as wild head hunters eager for taking enemy heads. Still, there were those who wanted the Indian army to devastate the feared Naga villages and their inhabitants. This included some of our immediate neighbours who played dirty politics for their own selfish reasons.

To begin with, some of these neighbours also fought the British to protect their own kingdoms.

However, when they were ultimately defeated, they entered into political collaboration with their former enemies and started offensive actions against the Nagas. They did this by first claiming traditional Naga lands as British demarcated lands of their own and armed by British muskets started attacking Naga villlages.

These aggressive actions took place both in the north as well as western parts of Naga territory.

In the second phase, some of these neighbouring states again allied with the newly established Indian nation and started harassing and advancing into traditional Naga territory with the assistance of the Indian army. At the initial stages of the conflict, the Armed Police of these neighbouring states, raped tortured and even killed many Naga civilians so that they could later turn against Indian soldiers for revenge. After occupying our lands, they started to arrogantly assert that not even one inch of their (enlarged) territories will ever be surrendered to the Nagas even if an Indo Naga political solution takes place. Their boastful threats still continue today.

However, whatever claims they may be making under the protection of India or the departed British, ancient boundary pillars and ancient Naga settlements are still all there for anyone to see and verify. After all, Naga territories have never been moving like migratory birds from Nagaland into Manipur, Assam, Burma or Indian territories over the years!

Nagas will also never part with

any of their territories now or even in the distant future. For the moment, Nagas are dealing with the bigger issues and only later, will come to the immediate neighbour issues. Here, Nagas having fought the British from 1832 to 1947 (115 years), and also having fought India and Burma from 1947 to 2019 (72 years); they are not at all intimidated by any neighbour’s false claims over their lands or their boisterous threats.

Coming back to the main issue, A.Z. Phizo’s summarization of Naga intentions in 1948 (as communicated to Rajagopalachari – the then Governor General of India) were as follows: “In conclusion let me enumerate briefly that: a. There is no secret and no danger in the Naga Hills. b. The final say is with the people and not with a particular individual. c. The Naga are not planning Machiavellian politics. d. The consideration of balancing a power or seeking a strong partnership is out of the question. e. The Naga people are not against the Indian union... f. Freedom, liberty and peace are the first and last consideration. g. The Nagas stand for sanity and are appealing to you for an understanding.”

(A letter from Prison-Nagaland and India...pp. 359-409) But in spite of all these pleas and appeals, the very good intentions of the Nagas were completely distorted by other ill wishers and Nagaland and India were plunged into a senseless war for the past 72 years. To rectify these mistakes and find a solution, we must go back to past history and find our way back to peace and good neighbourly relationships.

NB. Nagas too have made political blunders and contributed to the present mess. But those events have already been exposed extensively by the present author, so I will not repeat myself here again.

Avoid using cell phone while driving

ell phones, marvels of technology, are used to report emergency, locate directions, call home, message friends, do business from the beach or golf courses-life without them is now different to imagine. But cell phones have been proven downright deadly if employed while driving a vehicle or walking down the street. Do you feel people around you increasingly preoccupied on the laptops or typing text messages on their cell? What about seen a youngster walking on the street with ipod earplug? How about those more packed drink and eating joints you have seen during day hour, now more than before?

Your sense of heavy is almost completely consumed by the phone you are using, and your brain tends to filter out ambient sounds . So your brain has to absorb the information and work simultaneously to provide responses, making it hard for it to process information that is not related to your phone conversation.

A cell phone using motorist is also likely to look at but not see a vehicle, or a pedestrian, crossing his path . He may hear but not pay attention to a horn, or the sound of the another vehicle, as he would if he were just driving. By the time he becomes awake, it may be a split-second too late. Likewise a cell phone using pedestrian, too, expose himself to the danger around him.

In a report on the safety implications of “using mobile while mobile”, the Delhi based Central Road Research Institute (CRRI) analysis the many skills required by a motorist : watching the road, checking the rear, and the sight view mirrors, and keeping an eye on dashboard gauges, to listen for others vehicles, horns policeman’s whistles, emergency sirens and steering the vehicle, con-

trolling the pedals, signaling turns or switching on appropriate indicators call. It also says, “driving and use of a mobile phone simultaneously is potentially a strong lethal combination”.

Motorists who talked on a cell phone- be it hand-held or hand-free draw slidely slower to hit the brakes if they were not drunk. The Indian law forbid drivers of any motor vehicle from using a cell phone, and when involved in an accident, they often deny that they had not used a cell phone. When a driver uses a mobile phone, he has to use a similar set of skills: locating the count bottoms to push, or reading the screen, would mean taking his eyes off the road. Studies revealed that people are as impaired when they drive and talk on the cell phone as they are when they drive intoxicated. Today, we found that using cell phone and rush driving amongst the drivers are getting out of hand.

To P r o m o t e s a f e t y rules: Never use a cell phone while driving or while crossing or walking along a road.

If you are on a busy road where you cannot stop, and your phone rings, it is best to miss the call, answer it at a safer place. When you are in the taxi, bus, your own car or friends, you must stop any driver from speaking on the phone while driving.

Recently, two colleagues and I took a taxi and we were returning back to our office after a meeting. While we were in the thick of traffic when the driver’s cell phone rang.

When he promptly answer it, my friend from the back seat requested him not to use the phone. But the driver would not listen, “Bandh karo”! my colleague insisted loudly, grabbling the driver’s shoulder “Stop it”!

The Apex Hoho as the collective Strength (Voice) of the Nagas (From previous issue) The 4th Summit at Mokokchung on 267/2/1997:-The Mokokchung session was expected to be a landmark as the Nagas from other states were to formally admit into the Hoho Body. However, the delegates from Mon-Tuensang boycotted the session which had dampen the high spirit. Nevertheless, Nagas from Manipur were admitted. Their admission was further reaffirmed by the Naga Hoho on 26/8/1997 at Kohima in which bringing in of the Naga tribal contiguous area in Manipur under one political roof with the rest of the Nagas in Nagaland.

The 5th Summit at Zunheboto on 102/3/1998:- At last in this summit, a full- fledged Naga Hoho Office Bearers were elected with Mr Vero X-MP as the first president. Vice president were- Gaigam Zeliang, Shanglao Konyak and Gen Sani Ao. Vihuto Yepthomi as Gen Sey and Krurovi Angami as speaker and other officials.

With the full-fledged formation of the Apex Naga Body, the Hoho officials had involved wholeheartedly in discharging their responsibility and made many noteworthy interventions, such as, preventing violent factional clashes and fratricide killings; inter tribal clashes like Yimchunger – Tikhirr of Kipheri District. Peace initiative during an indiscriminate Indian Army atrocities committed on civilian in Oinam area of Senapti District of Manipur after an armed clashes between the Naga UG and Indian Army was praise

worthy. A number of delegations of the Hoho had met national leaders in N Delhi and elsewhere concerning the Naga political issues as well as other socio-economic matters of public interest. So long the Apex Hoho was united and strong; its opinions were well received with respect as the collective voice of the Nagas in the national and in the international fora as well. It’s a clear proof of strength in unity.

The Naga Hoho now:Lately, as it is seen, the Apex Hoho had gone out of tract and become controversial. The Hoho functioning was accused of being highly politicised losing its neutrality and impartiality losing its own identity which was the main sustaining strength and rallying power of the Hoho. The fact is, for one reason or the other the Hoho organisation is badly paralysed owing to the withdrawal by many tribal hohos mainly from Nagaland state rendering the Body truncated thereby sapped away its inner strength and reputation like the famous proverbial- biblical figure Samson’s tragic death due to his own folly. The present truncated Hoho will not be able to authoritatively represent as the collective voice of all the Nagas as it has lose its strength and respect commanded earlier.

Therefore, now the priority task for the Naga Hobo is to regain that position if it has to survive as the Apex Naga Collective Body transcending the geographical, political and mental barriers. The question is how? The Hoho functionary needs to go to the people by create condu-

cive atmosphere to enable those tribal Hohos whose membership are withdrawn at the moment are return back. The reason for their departure is studied and reconciliation measures are taken up immediately before the damage become permanent.

It should not be forgotten that the Hoho is a voluntary socio- political organisation collectively formed by Tribal hohos for the purpose of promoting mainly the matters of common interest beneficial to all the Nagas tribe. It is non-political organisation but can involve in Naga political issue on merit in shaping the Naga political future through collective effort. The Hoho can strongly indulge in preservation and promotion of cultural aspect of the Nagas. Thus, the success and failure depend much on the willing participation of the constituent units (the tribal hohos).

That united association can only be maintained as long as the constituent members are happy with the functioning of the Hoho. Once that trust is lost, crisis will be there like at the present moment.

The Hoho ideally represent the ultimate sum total wisdom of all the Nagas.

It should be a source of strength and inspiration for all the Nagas from within and outside of Nagaland (like the recent appeal made by the Nagas from Myanmar and Rengmas of Assam to strengthen the Hoho for our common benefit).

Therefore, it should necessarily be neutral to party politic as well as factional interest but courageously uphold, protect and promote the just cause of the

Nagas basically and people in general. Only then, I believe, the Apex Hoho will survive and serve its main purpose.

At this crucial moment in Naga history, when the long arduous and tough journey of political movement is reaching a final stage, it is a sad commentary to see the Apex Naga Together (Hoho) which had played a tremendous pivotal role in shaping and determining the Naga destiny over the years of struggle, is coming to such helpless, controversial and insignificant position. Nagas need each other at this crucial testing time and we need to come up to counter the force of negativity. We all need to make voluntary sacrifice to enable us to create conducive atmosphere to transform the Apex Hoho which can take care of the larger challenges transcending political and geographical boundaries in the larger interest of the people which the Nagas has been inspiring all these years.

In this direction, in order to make the hoho once again dynamic and effective Body, the structural and functional changes of the Hoho suiting to the need and thinking of the day is call for. For this, even the constitution of the Hoho can be amended suitably. The structural change should clearly define the appropriate role dividing between the Apex Hoho and constituent units in conformity to the contemporary reality. In this, broadly, issues of local nature be left to the local hoho/group while the matter of requiring common platform be assigned to the Apex Body to avoid any

overlapping function as well as avoid inter- tribal/ group jurisdiction. It requires complete transformation to be relevant to the demand of changing time and be a real change agent for the Nagas future.

The Apex hoho must be a Federated Pan- Organisation of Regional grouping including the group from outside Nagaland including from Myanmar.

We cannot effort to allow the Apex Naga Body which had brilliantly shaped and

represented the strength of Naga Togetherness right from the formation of the Naga Club way back in 1918 and down the line of a long journey should not be allowed to come to such impotent Body which is a lost to the Naga at last. WE the Naga people need it for all of us.

Operation Check Gate

Sir,

‘Operation Check Gate ‘ spearheaded by Public Action Committee of Naga Council Dimapur (NCD) is a great initiative to curb unauthorised and illegal tax collection, which has plagued the Naga Society for a long time.

Large-scale illegal and unauthorised taxation is being carried out at various check gates and yet we have been remaining a silent spectator.

It is alarming to know that, through this drive it is learned that even some Government departments are collecting taxes at rates higher than the prescribed fees.

This initiative by PAC should be applauded and appreciated by all sections of our society and we should all render our whole hearted support for such a noble drive.

Further, it would augur well for the society if the Government is more attentive and vigilant towards the menace of illegal and unauthorised collection of taxes.

It doesn’t paint a great picture for State machinery, which depends on the civil society to check and unearth the nuisances that plagues the society.

Illegal and unauthorised taxation at check gates is a serious issue and curbing the menace should not be limited to the present drive by the PAC but it should be followed up by a well defined and conscious plan by the government to completely wipe it out from our society.

An official said the minister also “controlled” and flew the aircraft for around two minutes. However, the minister said he was following orders.

“But those two minutes were memorable,” he said.

In a tweet, Singh said: “The ‘G-Suite’ and ‘Tejas’: It was a memorable experience. Thank you @ IAF_MCC @HALHQBLR & @DRDO_India for this proud moment.”

“Special thanks to AVM, N.Tiwari, who is also the Project Director, National Flight Test Centre, ADA (Aeronautical Development Agency) for the sortie,” he said.

The minister was ac-

companied by Air Vice Marshal Tiwari, who is also the Project Director, National Flight Test Centre, ADA (Aeronautical Development Agency) in Bengaluru.

Talking about his experience of flying with the Defence Minister, Tiwari said, “Raksha Mantri (Defence Minister) was flying the aircraft in the air (for 2 minutes), and he liked it.

We went all the way up to 2 to 2.5g. But I was showing him more avionics and sophisticated systems that we have on board like laser designation pod, using which you can pick up targets even from 20-25 km away.”

NEW DELHI, SEP 19 (AGENCIES): India will not dwell upon the Kashmir issue at the UN General Assembly and instead discuss its contribution on the development, peace, and security fronts as a responsible member of the global body, the Ministry of External Affairs said on Thursday.

“What Pakistan is going to say is not for me to comment upon. If they wish to dwell upon this issue, they are welcome to do so. Our Prime Minister will focus on what the United Nations General Assembly’s high-level segment is meant to focus, which is that as a responsible member of the United Nations, the PM will flag what we are doing for development, for security, for peace, and our expectations and aspirations of other countries,” Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale said. “We have several multilateral matters to discuss. One of these is terrorism, though it won’t be the focus,” he added.

India has maintained that the abrogation of Article 370 that accorded special station to J&K is its internal matter - a stance which has been supported by several countries, including the SAARC member nations.

“one g”. Fighter pilots have to bear higher number of g’s as they fly at high speed and altitude.

Tiwari said the minister was very happy with the flying quality, “the smoothness, the controls, and the way the aircraft was flying”.

“We went close to Mach 1, the speed of sound, but he couldn’t make it out.

I had to tell him that this is the speed now,” Tiwari added.

Officials said the basic flying in the Indian Air Force currently starts by 20.5 years and a pilot is generally ready to fly fighter jets in IAF at around 22 years of age.

He also said that there is no upper age limit for flying fighter jets.

Till the time a pilot is medically fit - up to the standards set by the IAF - he or she can fly the fighter jet, the official said. The chief of the Indian Air Force is 62 years old.

Singh also attended an exhibition of products of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) in Bengaluru.

A Defence Ministry official had said on Wednesday that the minister would be “taking a sortie” in order to boost the morale of officers who have been involved in the development of the “indigenously-made Tejas”.

“It will also boost the morale of IAF pilots who are flying these aircraft,” the official had said.

The IAF has already inducted a batch of Tejas aircraft. The naval version of the LCA is in development stage.

Last Friday in Goa, Tejas had successfully carried out an “arrested landing”, a key performance, demonstrating its ability to land on board an aircraft carrier, making it a major milestone in development of the naval variant of the fighter jet.

Initially, the IAF had placed an order with the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for 40 Tejas aircraft. Last year, the IAF issued the request for proposal (RFP) to HAL for the procurement of another batch of 83 Tejas at a cost of over Rs 50,000 crore.

The Tejas is an indigenous light weight, multi role supersonic aircraft developed in both fighter and trainer versions.

Advanced materials like composites are used in the manufacture of the Tejas to reduce weight and increase the component life.

The Tejas is designed to carry a veritable plethora of air-to-air, air-to-surface, precision guided and standoff weaponry.

CS launches campaign awareness on rights of PwDs

(From p-1) Nakhro also informed that public building and public spaces were yet to be made accessible including office buildings, educational institutions, hospitals and clinics, marketplaces, churches etc, which she said need to be pondered upon.

She pointed out lack of disability budgeting whereby there was perpetual shortage of funds for disabilities affairs.

Fur ther, giving an overview of disability in Nagaland, she said people with disabilities represent the most excluded of all groups in Naga society and completely missing from the development landscape.

She cited that majority of children with disabilities cannot attend school or continue to higher studies.

Nakhro said most adults with disabilities were unable to participate in community activities such as meeting in community activities such as meetings, community programme and functions festival and religions services.

She pointed out that PwDs lacked the access for quality health service, disability support services, educational services, opportunity to livelihood and

Guwahati High Court Kohima Bench Advocate Apila Sangtam, speaking on the court directive and legal implications of noncompliance, said RPWD Act 2016 came into force on April 19, 2017 which was passed in the Parliament on December 16, 2016 replacing the older PwD Act of 1995.

As per the directives of the Supreme Court, she informed that it was directed to notify the state rule and to start implementation within 6 months of disability Act becoming law in April 2017.

It was also directed to all the states and union territories to take immediate steps to comply with the requirement of the Act and file compliance reports.

The special courts were to be setup in each district to conduct trail of offenses committed against them within three months.

The 2016 Act is a sea of change in the perception and exhibits a march forward look with regard to persons with disabilities and roles of state governments, local authorities, educational institutes and companies, she added.

to be heard. “We have to follow procedure of cancellation which we are following and the formalities have been completed. We gave them notice and hearing opportunity, which has concluded. Now, we have to take a decision and that process is on,” he said.

He said the decision on the land linked to Vadra, the

son-in-law of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, was likely to be taken soon. Pandurang, however, did not disclose what replies the other party had given in response to the opportunity of being heard.

He said the mutation of the land was set aside by the then director general, consolidation of holdings in 2012, thus affecting the title of the land. “There were issues regarding title of the land,” he said. Ashok Khemka, a 1991-batch IAS officer, had shot to limelight in 2012 when he cancelled the mutation of the land deal between Skylight Hospitality and DLF. A year ago, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said the licence for the

land in Gurgaon’s Sector 83 which was sold Skylight Hospitality and then transferred to DLF was “deemed to have lapsed”.

The licence for the land parcel had not been renewed,

Khattar had then said. On reports claiming that the DLF has been paying the government for renewal of the licence, Pandurang said, “We will see what we will do in this regard.”

She said they were excluded from participation in society due to environmental barriers or due to altitudinal barriers.

“Nagaland has ignored excluded isolated and neglected its citizen with disabilities, this is not just unfair, it is wrong and it needs to change,” she pointed out.

She said inclusion and accessibility was not just about laws and the rule book, but also about wanting to do the right thing and then reach out and put that little extra effort to make sure no citizen was left out of life.

Speaking about the disability scenario in Nagaland challenges and opportunity, Director of Prodigal’s Home, Dimapur, K. Ela, said that lack of awareness and ignorance of the people has hampered the rights of PwDs to reach out to the people.

Lamenting that there was no research done on the official data of the people with disabilities in the state since 2001, she suggested that state government do research at the earliest.

BENGALURU, SEP 19 (PTI): Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday flew in the Tejas fighter aircraft from the HAL airport in Bengaluru, becoming the first defence minister to fly in the indigenouslybuilt light combat aircraft (LCA).

After the 30-minute sortie, the defence minister said he chose the aircraft because it was built indigenously and described the flying experience as thrilling.

“Flight very smooth, comfortable, I was thrilled.

It was one of the most memorable events of my life,” said the 68-year-old Singh after alighting from the aircraft.

“This is an indigenous plane. So, it came naturally to me to fly in Tejas and experience the flying. It was also to check under what conditions do our fighter pilots fly these aircraft. This is why I flew in this aircraft,” the minister said.

Wearing a G suit, holding his helmet under his arms and sporting aviator glasses, Singh looked every inch a fighter pilot.

Gupta added that the “market was disappointed with Fed’s mixed outlook”.

In line with market expectations, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered the policy interest rate by 25 basis points to a target range of 1.75 to 2.0 per cent, but dimmed hopes for subsequent rate cuts as it took a cautious approach to further reductions in borrowing costs.

Brent futures, the global oil benchmark, soared 2.14 per cent to USD 64.96 per barrel after Iran warned of an “all-out war” if it is targeted in the aftermath of the drone attacks on Saudi Arabia’s oil infrastructure, further pushing up tensions across the Persian Gulf.

Mumbai, Sep 19 (Agencies): The board of directors at IDBI Bank on Thursday approved the proposal for preferential issue of capital to the government and Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) totalling up to Rs 4,557 crore and Rs 4,743 crore respectively.

The decision is subject to customary regulatory approvals. On September 3, the government had approved Rs 9,300 crore capital infusion into IDBI Bank to increase the lender’s capital base.

The bank needed a one-time infusion of capital to complete the exercise of dealing with its legacy book.

It has already substantially cleaned up, reducing net non-performing assets from a peak of 18.8 per cent in June 2018 to 8 per cent in June 2019. After this infusion, IDBI Bank expects to be able to subsequently raise further capital on its own and expects to come out of RBI’s Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) framework sometime next year.

to sources, the GST Council’s Fitment Committee, which comprises revenue officials of both Centre and States, has rejected demands for a cut in tax rate on items ranging from biscuits to car, owing to tight revenue position. Sources said that the GST Council may consider introduction of a special composition scheme for taxpayers supplying brick kilns, sand mining activities and stone crushers with an increased rate.

It is expected to discuss amendments in GST Laws to accommodate creation of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh as UTs and will also discuss the proposal moved by Kerala on introducing e-way bill system for movement of gold and precious stones, sources said. It is likely to deliberate on the proposal of linking new GST registration with Aadhar and take the quarterly review of cases at National Anti-profiteering Authority (NAA), sources added.

Fitment panel in its report, which will be placed before the GST Council, has some good news for hotel industry as it has recommended raising tariff ceiling to up to Rs 12,000 per night under 18 per cent GST slab. At present, 18 per cent GST rate is applicable for hotel tariff up to Rs 7,500 per night.

DP-7097

NEW DELHI, Sep 19 (PTI): Amid clamour for rate cut by various industries, the all powerful GST Council will hold a crucial meeting on Friday to decide on tax moderation, keeping in mind the revenue position and the need to boost sagging economic growth.

The GST Council, headed by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and comprising representatives of all states and Union Territories (UTs), will have its 37th meeting in Goa in the backdrop of economic growth hitting a six-year low of 5 per cent for the first quarter of the current fiscal.

There have been demands pouring in from various sectors - from biscuits to automobiles and FMCG to hotels - to reduce tax rates in the wake of economic slowdown. The argument propagated has been to boost the consumption and domestic demand by reducing Goods and Services Tax (GST) rates further.

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

Meanwhile, according

Gantz wants to be PM in Israel’s unity govt

Nirav Modi (File)

Lo n d o n, S e p 1 9 (IANS): A UK court extended the judicial custody of fugitive diamantaire Nirav Modi till October 17, in connection with the Punjab National Bank fraud case, he on Thursday.

Modi, wanted in India in connection with the Rs 13,500 crore Punjab National Bank fraud case, appeared via video link at the Westminster Magistrate’s Court for a brief hearing.

He is lodged in the Wandsworth prison.

Earlier, on August 22, the court had extended his custody till September 19.

Extending Modi’s custody, Judge Tan Ikram of the Westminster Court had said there continued to be ‘substantial grounds’ to believe that he had the financial means to abscond.

Ikram asked the court clerk to seek a confirmation of the proposed 5-day extradition trial dates, starting on May 11, 2020.

The 48-year-old businessman was arrested from Holborn on March 19.

Since then he has been fighting extradition proceedings.

Modi and his uncle Mehul Choksi are being investigated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) after the Punjab National Bank alleged their involvement in a Rs 13,500 crore fraud committed with the help of some bank employees.

Modi made international headlines again in early October 2018 when Los Angeles entrepreneur, Paul Alfonso, filed a US$4.2 million lawsuit in Los Angeles against Modi and two of his now defunct companies namely Firestar Diamond Inc. and A. Jaffe Inc. K Y M C

edented repeat polls.

“You come with responsibility and seriousness. I attend to act accordingly,” Gantz was quoted as saying by the Haaretz.

Gantz said he will not accept any dictates. “There will be no shortcuts.”

His comments came after 69-year-old Netanyahu said he wanted to form a right-wing government, but the results showed it was not possible. He called on Gantz to meet him “at any hour today” in order to hold discussions for a unity government.

“Benny, it’s on us to establish a wide unity government today. The nation expects us, the both of us, to work together. Let’s meet today. At any time, at any moment. In order to begin this process that is demanded of us at this time,” he said.

“We cannot and have no reason to go to a third election. I oppose it. The call of the hour is to form a broad unity government today,” he said.

“There is no choice but to establish a wide unity government as wide as possible that’s made up of all the officials that Israel called on,” The Jerusalem Post quoted Netanyahu as saying.

Netanyahu recalled the unity government between Shimon Peres and his Likud rival Yitzhak Shamir that was created in the 1980s when the election results were similarly deadlocked.

“When there was no clear outcome from the Knesset elections, Shimon chose national unity. He and Yitzhak Shamir agreed to cooperate - to navigate Israel’s path to safety,” the

Netanyahu called the snap election after failing to form a governing coalition with a viable majority after April’s vote.

His victor y in the April 9 polls securing him a record fifth term proved temporary in the face of a logjam between potential coalition partners over a military conscription bill governing exemptions for ultra-Orthodox Jewish seminary students.

With no clear winner, some analysts here see the chances of a coalition government coming in place quite bleak at the moment.

Netanyahu, who has been premier for a total of more than 13 years, faces charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust in connection with three cases.

Israel has always had a coalition government and never seen a single party rule since its independence.

The religious parties, themselves a divided lot but definitely on the Right side of the political spectrum, have always been a part of the coalition governments except one led by Ariel Sharon.

Islamabad, Sep 19 (IANS): Baloch Human Rights activist Ashraf Bamoch has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to raise the issue of Balochistan and human rights violation there at all international fora.

Wishing Modi on his birthday, Ashraf tweeted: “Don’t forget the repressed people of Balochistan. Give them voice and raise the issue at all international fora, including United Nations.

Baloch are also human beings, they have a right to live with dignity.” He also posted a video with the post in which two small children are seen holding a flag and chanting ‘India will win’.

Another Baloch leader Nawab Brahumdagh said Islamabad should stop dreaming about Afghanistan and Kashmir, and instead focus on Pakistan, Sindh and Balochistan.

Several activists held a rally recently in Balochistan exposing Pakistan Army’s atrocities and sought India’s help in raising their voices globally. They also raised ‘Pakistan murdabad’ slogans.

Likud leader said.

He called on Gantz to follow in Peres’ footsteps, so that together they could similarly navigate Israel to safety, the paper said.

His statement about the Peres-Shamir cooperation was seen as a reference to a possible rotation in the Prime Minister’s Office.

Peres and Shamir rotated as prime ministers from 1984 to 1988, the paper added. Blue and White, however, rejected the offer as “spin.”

Earlier, the leaders of all the parties in the right-wing religious bloc on Thursday signed a document to recommend Netanyahu as the next prime minister and vowed to enter a coalition only as a single unit.

The document was signed by Netanyahu; United Torah Judaism leader Yaakov Litzman; and Yamina MKs Ayelet Shaked, Naftali Bennett, Rafi Peretz and Bezalel Smotrich. Shas leader Aryeh Deri gave his consent via phone and said he would sign the document soon.

Jerusalem, Sep 19 (PTI): Benjamin Netanyahu’s main challenger Benny Gantz on Thursday presented himself as the next prime minister, hours after the embattled Israeli premier urged the Blue and White leader to join him in forming a unity government to avoid a third election.

With nearly 97 per cent of the votes counted on Thursday, Gantz’s Blue and White party won 33 seats while Netanyahu’s Likud secured 31 seats in Israel’s 120-member Parliament.Gantz, 60, said he intends to form and lead a “broad, liberal, unity government.”

“After an election that was forced on Israel, (people) voted and made a clear choice. The people voted for unity and Kahol Lavan won the election. It’s the biggest party,” he added.

He said the Israeli people wanted a unity government after the last election too and vowed to form a “broad, liberal unity government.”

“In order to form a unity government, one can’t come with political blocs and spins,” Gantz said, referring to the rightwing religious bloc’s move to recommend Netanyahu as the next prime minister after no clear winner emerged in the unprec-

Metallica now the ‘biggest all-time touring band’

M

etallica have been crowned the “biggest all-time touring band” in a new study.

The band have been taking their WorldWired Tour around the globe this year, and played a pair of recent ‘S&M2’ gigs in San Francisco.

The new study, from Pollstar, makes a case for the band to be the most

successful live band of all time, grossing $1.4 billion in ticket sales since 1982.

The figures put the metal heavyweights ahead of Guns N’ Roses, AC/DC and more.

The new study, called Tour & Destroy: The Case for Metallica as the World’s Biggest Touring Act, uses stats dating back to the beginning of Metallica, re-

vealing that the band have sold 22.1 million tickets to their shows.

Also helping Metallica’s case in the study is the fact that they’ve performed in 48 countries and on all seven continents (including Antarctica), which few touring bands can match.

They also lead merch sales, selling $125 million in merchandise in North

America since 1991.

Their current WorldWired Tour has currently grossed $430m on 4.1 million tickets.

Po l l s t a r s p o k e t o drummer Lars Ulrich for the study, and he explains what he thinks is behind Metallica’s continuing reign at the very top of live music.

“I keep thinking and forcing myself to think all our best years are still ahead of us,” he said. “It’s always, ‘What’s your favorite record?’ It’s the next one, the one we haven’t recorded yet.”

“It’s always about the possibilities, always about what can be, what’s coming. That, to me, is what this is all about and I think that attitude is a big part of the why Metallica still connects to so many people around the world.”

It was recently revealed that Metallica donated $1.5 million throughout their European tour.

Taj under full moon to attract many more visitors

C

ome the next full moon in October, many more Taj Mahal lovers will be able to view the iconic 17th century monument to eternal love from a spot across the Yamuna river that has been newly developed by the authorities.

The new spot in the city’s Mehtab Bagh for viewing the Taj after sunset was formally inaugurated by the Agra Additional Director General (ADG) Ajay Anand on Wednesday evening.

The Agra Development Authority (ADA), in cooperation with the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), has developed a couple of vantage points across the river at the rear of the Taj Mahal from where tourists can witness the beauty of the majestic monument under moonlight.

The movement of the visitors will be without hassles as these spots are beyond the restricted 500metre security perimeter around the Taj Mahal.

Infrastructure facilities are being developed under the Pro-Poor Tourism Policy in the area that includes six villages, Humayun’s mosque and the Gyarah Seedhi monuments.

A new bridge built over Yamuna - Ambedkar Setu - has made transport easy and convenient.

ADA Vice Chairperson Shubhra Saxena said: “A special bench, replica of Diana Bench in the Taj Mahal, has been specially provided for people to take photographs.”

A committee will soon take a decision on the ticket rates to be charged from

visitors.

The tourism industry hopes the facility would be opened before the World Tourism Day on September 27, when a fresh tourist season begins in Agra.

Divisional Commissioner Anil Kumar has said more such vantage points would be developed along the river to attract tourists.

However, River Connect Campaign member Devashish Bhattacharya said: “Before tourists are attracted to these new spots, it would be necessary to clean up the Yamuna and fill it with water.”

“Inshallah” was supposed to star Salman Khan with Alia Bhatt, but the actor backed out of the project, reportedly due to creative differences with Bhansali.

WTA Birmingham to be downgraded

London, Sep 19 (Agencies): The grass-court tournament in Birmingham is being downgraded from next summer, with Wimbledon supporting a new event in Berlin.

The Nature Valley Classic, held two weeks before Wimbledon, is the biggest women-only tournament played in the UK and has attracted the world’s top stars since being elevated from International to Premier status on the WTA Tour in 2014.

This year Naomi Osaka, Ashleigh Barty, Karolina Pliskova and Venus Williams all played at Edgbaston Priory but it has continued to be overshadowed by the men’s event at Queen’s Club, and the huge outlay required in prize money has not been matched by similar increases in ticket sales or sponsorship, meaning the tournament has been operating at a significant loss.

Birmingham will now have to compete with Berlin to try to attract players, while other changes include a new men’s event in Majorca and a proposed women’s tournament in Bad Homburg, Germany, backed by former Wimbledon champion Angelique Kerber.

has been here for five years now and we’re still making similar mistakes as we were the first year,” Kane, who scored Spurs’ opener from the penalty spot, told reporters.

Lucas Moura doubled Tottenham’s lead but Olympiakos hit back before halftime through Daniel Podence and equalised thanks to Mathieu Valbuena’s penalty in the 54th minute.

“We are not young anymore, we are not inexperienced, we have played in big games for club and country,” England international Kane added.

London, Sep19 (Agencies): Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof has signed a new contract that will keep him at Old Trafford until at least June 2024, the Premier League club said on Wednesday.

The 25-year-old Sweden international joined United in 2017 and has made 74 appearances so far.

United have an option to extend the deal by a further year. “I’m extremely happy (Lindelof) has committed his future to Manchester United. We’re all looking forward to working together to deliver success and get United back to where we know the club belongs,” said Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Sindhu, an Olympic silver medallist, squandered a first-game advantage to go down 12-21 21-13 21-19 to Pornpawee in a match that lasted 58 minutes here.

Doubles specialist Satwiksairaj Rankireddy also had a dismal day as he suffered twin defeats, losing both the men’s doubles and mixed doubles pre-quarterfinals.

This is the second time Satwik and Chirag have lost to the combination of Kamura and Sonoda this year. They had lost to the world no.4 pair at the Japan Open in July.

Satwik then paired up with his mixed doubles partner Ashwini Ponanappa but the duo couldn’t get past Yuki Kaneko and Misaki Matsutomo, losing 11-21 21-16 12-21 to the Japanese pair.

Mumbai, Sep 19 (IANS): The cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL) has seen its growth slow down to 13.5 percent in the overall value this year, according to the Duff & Phelps IPL Brand Valuation report 2019.

The league saw 18.87 percent growth in brand valuation in 2018 and in 2017 was valued at Rs 33,912.34 crore approximately.

However, there was an increase in the overall value to Rs 47,500 crore this year from Rs 41,800 crore in 2018.

Duff & Phelps the global advisor that protects, restores and maximizes value for clients, on Thursday announced findings from its IPL Brand Valuation Report 2019, a comprehensive study on brand values in the league.

While reigning champions Mumbai Indians continued to top the charts for the fourth time with an 8.5% increase in brand value at Rs 809 crores, Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore recorded an 8% decrease in brand value to reach Rs 630 crores and Rs 595 crores respectively.

Chennai Super Kings’ brand value went up by 13.1 percent. CSK is valued at Rs 732 crore in 2019 which was Rs 647 crore in 2018.

Delhi Capitals, which reached the playoffs this time, was the other big gainer with 8.9 percent rise in brand value. The team’s

value grew from Rs 343 crore last year to Rs 374 crore in 2019.

An increase of 20% in advertising revenues this year and the recently renewed PayTM title sponsorship deal (which has fetched an increase of 58% on a per-match basis over the last deal) are testaments to the continued popularity of IPL. This has resulted in a steady increase in the value of the ecosystem (which grew by 13.5% in INR terms).

Varun Gupta, Asia Pacific Leader for Valuation Advisory Services and India Country Leader, Duff & Phelps, said, “Our IPL brand values report reflects the evolution of the modern cricket business paradigm.

“As we move into the second decade of IPL, the

league has transitioned from being a startup to being a more mature, stable and profitable business.

An increase of 20% in advertising revenues this year and the recently renewed

PayTM title sponsorship deal (which has fetched an increase of 58% on a per-match basis over the last deal) are testaments to the continued popularity of IPL.

In the second game, Pornpawee changed gears and moved to a 5-1 advantage initially. Sindhu clawed back to 7-9 before the Thai youngster jumped to 15-7 with six straight points and held her fort to roar back into the contest.

“In the beginning of this season we’re conceding a lot of chances, lots of goals and we need to change that,” Pochettino, who dismissed rumours last month that he could quit, added. “The only way we can change is being more demanding from ourselves.

Ekaterinburg, Sep 19 (PTI): Amit Panghal (52kg) and Manish Kaushik (63kg) have made the Indian boxing squad for next year’s Olympic Qualifiers owing to their medalwinning show at the ongoing World Championships.

Panghal and Kaushik have entered the semifinals here, making it the first time when India have more than one boxer left in the fray for the medal rounds of the marquee event.

The Boxing Federation of India (BFI) had made it clear that boxers who win medals at the World Championships will be automatic picks for the Olympic qualifiers scheduled in February in China. “Yes, Amit and Manish will be going to the qualifiers. There will not be any trials in their weight categories

now,” Indian Boxing’s HighPerformance Director Santiago Nieva told PTI. The rest of the squad will be picked on the basis of camp performance, points accumulated at international events and in some cases, trials.

While Panghal will face Kazakhstan’s Saken Bibossinov in the last-four stage, Kaushik will be up against top-seeded Cuban Andy Gomez Cruz in his semifinal clash.

Both rose to prominence after the 2016 Rio Games, where India drew a blank in boxing.

Panghal has gold medals in the 2018 Asian Games as well as this year’s Asian Championships apart from the now assured Worlds medal, Kaushik won a silver medal in the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
