PM Modi gets ‘Global Goalkeeper’ award

NEW YORK, SEP 25 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi was on Wednesday conferred the “Global Goalkeeper” award by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan launched by his government.

In a series of tweets in Hindi, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said Modi lauded the countrymen for contributing to the grand success of the cleanliness mission, saying he shared the honour with them.

“Getting the award in the year of Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th birth anniversary is personally significant for me. When 130 crore people take a pledge, any challenge can be overcome,” the prime minister said.

He dedicated the award to those Indians who transformed the Swachh Bharat campaign into a “people’s movement” and accorded topmost priority to cleanliness in their day-to-day lives. “No such campaign was seen or heard about in any other country in the recent past. It might have been launched by our government, but people took control of it,” Modi said.

As a result, over 11

Forest deptt issues public advisory DIMAPUR, SEP 25 (NPN): In view of the possible movement of a leopard in the fringe areas of Purana Bazaar ‘B’ area, the Department of Environment, Forests & Climate Change (DEF&CC) has issued a public advisory that could help avoid any untoward incidents. The advisory issued by wildlife warden Dimapur, Tokaho H Kinimi, has advised the general public to avoid venturing out into the nearby forest area/secluded areas or travel alone, especially after sunset. The department suggested that movement, if unavoidable, should be in groups and with adequately bright torches.

It has also asked the general public to keep livestock secure in robust enclosures at night and any unusual disappearance of livestock be immediately reported to the department.

The department has advised the public to keep the surroundings devoid of garbage, which attracted feral dogs and other livestock, which in turn attracts the wild animals.

It said that focus should be on better garbage disposal and sanitation. Further, the public have been asked to keep immediate surrounding areas, clear of thick grasses and bushes besides keeping residence areas well-lit at night.

crore toilets were built in the country in the last five years, which was a record, he said.

Stressing that the success of the campaign could not be measured in numbers, the prime minister said the poor people and the women of India were benefitted the most by it.

“Due to lack of toilets, a number of girls had to drop out of schools. Our daughters want to study, but because of lack of toilets, they had to abandon their education mid-way and sit at home,” he added.

It was the responsibility of his government to

Self-employment solution to job crisis, says Metsubo Jamir Staff Reporter

DIMAPUR, SEP 25 (NPN): Nagaland Rural Development (RD) minister, Metsubo Jamir reiterated that self-employment was the solution to the employment crisis in Nagaland while noting that it was encouraging to see youngsters trying to be self-employed and selfreliant.

He said this while speaking as special guest at the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojna (DDU-GKY) ‘Antyodaya Diwas’, birth anniversary of Deendayal Upadhyaya at Niathu Resort here Wednesday.

and cater to the career aspirations of rural youth.

The minister RD asserted that self-employment would be a big relief to the state government as the money spent on employing people could used for other

He also voiced satisfaction that there was a race among all the states in India now to bag the top spot in the “cleanliness ranking”.

Reiterating the philosophy of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” (the whole world is one single family), Modi said India wanted to share its experience and expertise with other countries.

Besides the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, many other “people’s movements” such as “Fit India” to promote fitness and preventive healthcare, the “Jal Jeevan Mission” focussing on water conservation and recycling were going on in India, he said, adding that the country was headed towards getting rid of single-use plastic by 2022. The prime minister asserted that he had full faith that the strength and determination of 130 crore Indians would ensure the success of all such campaigns and thanked everyone associated with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for bestowing the honour on him.

The cleanliness campaign was launched by the Modi government on Gandhi’s birth anniversary on October 2, 2014.

developmental activities in the state. He reminded that the government cannot provide employment to all as employment in the state government has reached saturation point.

He encouraged the gathering to encourage the young generation to be selfreliant as even the richest people in the world were not government employees, but those who achieved selfdependency with humble beginning. Delivering short speech at the programme, regional representative of MoRD, Tenzing Choesang, outlined the main objective of the DDU-GKY in providing training and placement to rural youths. She said training was provided to youths in various job sectors such as tourism and hospitality, retail, health care, automobile, IT and ITES, beauty and wellness etc.

Kohima , Sep 25 (NPN): Nagaland deputy chief minister, Y Patton, who is also minister in charge of home and road & bridges, said that taxation by state agencies would be minimised as the government was taking the issue of multiple taxation seriously.

He said the matter would be discussed at the state cabinet over multiple taxation by geology & mining department and forest department “turn into a single window to collect tax.” The minister made the statement when asked about the drive against illegal and multiple taxation at check gates in Dimapur by the Public Action Committee (PAC) at the Nagaland BJP press conference held at Hotel Japfü here Wednesday on the occasion of “Gandhi Sankalp yatra”

150th Birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi to be launched from October 2-30, 2019.

The minister’s disclosure for a single-window tax for the two departments came after much flak about collection of multiple tax on the same items.

Asked about the recent tour by a central team to ENPO areas, Patton said that government of India was going to consider some economic packages for ENPO areas. He recalled that the visit came against the backdrop of the assurances for economic package for ENPO areas made by prime minister Narendra Modi during the 2018 assembly election campaign in Tuensang.

During press conference, Patton highlighted various steps taken by Modi 2.0 government to strengthen economy in the last one

month.

DIMAPUR, SEP 25 (NPN): Naga people living in Delhi led by the Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) in collaboration with the Naga Students’ Union, Delhi (NSUD) took out rally from Mandi House to Parliament Street, New Delhi Wednesday seeking early solution to the Naga political issue.

recognises “India and Nagalim as two separate political entities.”

NSF said the decision was taken against the backdrop of Prime Minister’s advice to Interlocutor RN Ravi to find solution in three months within the constitution of India, which it maintained “directly negates the principle of the Framework Agreement signed between the GoI and the NSCN (I-M).” NSF submitted a memorandum titled “Early,

Inclusive, Honourable and Acceptable Solution to the protracted Naga Political issue” to the Prime Minster Narendra Modi following the event. NSF said the Framework Agreement was signed with the understanding to find model of solution based on the principles of shared sovereignty between India and Nagalim, peaceful co-existence of the two entities, and unique history and situation of the Nagas.

Pradyot says Faleiro’s diktat made him quit Congress TVC lifts ban on road works

Agartala, Sep 25 (AGENCIES): Royal Twipuri scion, Pradyot Manikya Debbarma on Tuesday blamed AICC general secretary incharge Northeast, Luizinho Faleiro for forcing him to quit the party over (Cont’d on p-7) the National Register of Citizenship (NRC) besides other issues. Debarma resigned from all posts and primary membership of the Congress after 19-long years of association on Monday.

Addressing the people of Tripura via a live video on Facebook following his resignation as the President of the Tripura Pradesh Congress Committee including primary membership of the party, Debbarma said “twenty days ago, Faleiro told me to withdraw the NRC petition which I had filed or lose the president “He refuses to go into the toy shop. He only wants post.” Debbarma said he chose to stand in solidarity a mobile.” with the people and refused

help the girls and women of the country come out of this situation and it had performed the duty with utmost sincerity, the prime minister said.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) had also acknowledged his government’s efforts in this regard and said due to the Swachh Bharat campaign, a possibility was created to save three lakh human lives, he said.

Modi said he was told that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation had also reported that as rural sanitation had improved in India, it had led to a decline in heart problems among chil-

dren and improvement in the Body Mass Index (BMI) among women.

Expressing happiness that Gandhi’s dream of cleanliness was about to be fulfilled, he said, “Gandhiji used to say a village could only become a model when it was completely clean. Today we are heading towards making the entire country a model.”

“The campaign has not only improved the lives of crores of Indians, but it has also played a significant role in achieving the goals set by the UN,” Modi said.

One of the least talked about aspects of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan was that the 11 crore toilets built under it had opened a new chapter of economic activity in rural India, he said.

Stating that the simple meaning of democracy was that people should be at the centre of policies and schemes, the prime minister said for decades, India had witnessed “constitutional federalism”, but it was his government that attempted to change it to “co-operative federalism” and with time, it was now moving towards “competitive-cooperative federalism”.

to withdraw the petition.

Questioning the intention of the AICC leader to force him to withdraw the petition, Debbarma pointed out that he had filed the NRC petition much before he became the PCC president. “Why did they appoint me then if they had problems with the petition?” he asked.

Almost in tears, Debbarma said “I genuinely feel bad for leaving the party but I will not compromise on my self respect; I cannot betray the trust of my people or go against whatever I believe.

Yes I want to say sorry to everyone, all the members of the state party unit… But I cannot lie to my people and will not withdraw my petition.”

For the past few days, there have been speculations of Debbarma’s stand-off with the Party High Command over several issues

Pradyot Manikya Debbarma

including NRC and Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB). “I was so suffocated; I have not seen so much of filth, corruption, dirt, immoralities, prostitution…. We politicians, we wear white kurtas but we are so dirty, we tell so many lies and I couldn’t do it anymore…”

He also stated that he had met AICC interim President Sonia Gandhi few days ago to air all these grievances but to no avail. “I apprised her of the fact that senior leaders only indulge

in groupism; they are not doing anything for the party in Tripura; she said she will take action but nothing happened,” he said.

Coming down heavily on the AICC secretary incharge of Northeast, Luizinho Faleiro, Debbarma called him “corrupt” and a man who has “no depth” and “no quality”. “People like him have managed to ruined the Congress in the Northeast,” he added. He accused such AICC officials of misusing their positions for self gain and create lobbies. He said “they criticize the CPM in front of everyone but shake their hands behind closed doors.”

Debarma maintained that “Congress in Tripura has not been in power for 26 years because there is no unity and respect among the party leaders and no leader cares about the workers’ problems”, adding that

“some prefer to work for the leaders rather than the party”. He also criticised Faleiro for showing no signs of interests or respect towards the plight of the indigenous people of Tripura. He cited that the AICC leader recently refused to meet over 600 tribals who had come all the way from the villages in Tripura to protest in Jantar Mantar in the national capital on CAB, recognition of indigenous Kokborok language, Forest Bill and empowering of the ADCs. “Despite being only few kilometers away from the protesting venue, he (Faleiro) refused to come and meet the tribals. Is this not an insult?” he lamented.

“I love and respect Sonia, Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi but when the GS of the party comes and tell me to go against my people; I cannot compromise...” he said.

KOHIMA, SEP 25 (NPN): Following the intervention of Phek district administration and the Chakhesang Public Organization (CPO), the Thenyizu village council (TVC) under Phek district has decided to immediately withdraw the ban imposed on 2-lane road works being carried out by of Shivalaya Construction Company Pvt. Ltd. under its jurisdiction.

Stating this through a press release, Thenyizu village council chairman Zhothiyi Dawhuo and VDB secretary Thepukrayi Nienu also informed that the ongoing 2-lane project (Chakhabama-Zunheboto road) under SARDP has crossed 18km point of the village.

The signatories said the villagers highlighted their grievances which had led to suspension of road works at a joint meeting between the village authori-

ties and Chakhesag Public Organisation (CPO) on September 25.

They said the village agreed to lift the suspension “in the best interest of the ongoing development activities” under the village jurisdiction without any further hindrance” after CPO officials assured to address their grievances M e a n w h i l e, T VC disclosed that during the period of project abandonment, which left road unattended after “reckless and unscrupulous earth cutting works” by Mytas-Gayatri Company, even the state highway department turned a deaf ear to the plight of the people who used the road as their lifeline. Under these circumstances, the village council said since they had no options but to singlehandedly manage and maintain the road.

Manipur CM N Biren attending people on joint People’s Day and Hill Leaders’ Day in Imphal on Wednesday. (NP)

Correspondent IMPHAL, Sep 25: NSCN(I-M)’s demand for separate flag and constitution has nothing to do with Manipur, said Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh on Wednesday.

Responding to queries from reporters on the sideline of Wednesday’s joint Meeyamgi Numit (People’s Day) and Hill Leaders’ Day at Durbar Hall of Chief Minister’s Secretariat, Singh said that the only thing Manipur government has been pressing the Centre was that state’s territorial integrity cannot be compromised at any cost.

“The demand for separate flag and constitution is not related with Manipur.

I don’t like to comment on it.For out state it is very clear that any part of Manipur,

whether territorial boundary or administration or any other must not be affected,” he declared.

“We have a clear stand on it and have always reminding the government of Manipur’s stand,” he added. On another query on the condition of historic Manipur Rajbari in Shillong of Meghalaya, Singh said that an official team would be sent to Shillong to inspect the present condition of Manipur Rajbari.

He said that there were some issues due to encroachments on Rajbari complex. As such, he had talked to his counterpart, Meghalaya chief minister Conrad Sangma regarding the matter.

He assured that development of the place associated with the history of Manipur would begin soon with

funds from the state budget once this issue is sorted out. During his interaction with the reporters, the chief minister maintained that activities regarding Green Manipur Mission were on in full swing and added that a mass tree plantation would be done at Koubru rang, one of the highest peak in Manipur located in Kangpokpi district.

State DGP LM Khaute had been entrusted to discuss with different civil society organisations to chalk out a plan to replace poppy plantation with an alternative livelihood and mass tree plantation, he said.

Singh further informed the media that CSOs of Senapati district had approached him to join hand in mass destruction of poppy plants.

He further revealed

that the state government would ink an MoU with 207 villages of Ukhrul district which are to ready to reserve five to 10 acres of their village land for forest development under Chief Minister’s Green Manipur Mission.

During Wednesday’s joint Meeyamgi Numit and Hill Leaders’ Day, brand ambassador for CM’s Green Manipur Mission, Valentina Elangbam along with her parents met the chief minister for the first time.

The chief minister welcomed the nine-year-old girl and encouraged her to keep on encouraging people to plant more and more trees.

Valentina and her parents also expressed their profound gratitude to the chief minister for acknowledging her love for trees.

Singh along with Valentina distributed saplings to people who attended the joint Meeyamgi Numit and Hill Leaders’ Day. The chief minister attended to around 360 complaints and met around 1000 people personally from 9.15am to 1pm.

gion with its proximity to south east Asia will particularly benefit from this initiative and will emerge as an investorfriendly region, he said.

With the corporate sector looking for investment opportunities in the region, the step will provide “golden oppurtunity” for manufacturing units in the region, he added.

“I thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman for taking this bold and strong step which has led to a positive and encouraging atmosphere across the country”, Sonowal said.

Union social justice Min assures NE of all possible assistances IMPHAL, Sep 25: Union minister of state for social justice and empowerment Ramdas Bandu Athawale said on Monday that Pakistan must hand over its occupied portion of Kashmir to India.

Athawale who is in Imphal on his two-day visit on Wednesday lauded the Centre’s recent move to scrap Article 370 of Indian Constitution granting special status to Jammu and Kashmir.

He said the scrapping of the Article 370 will help speed up the development in the region besides ending alienation among the people of the state which has been divided into two Union territories.

The scrapping of the Article 370 has removed the hindrances to the Centre’s initiative to develop the region, he claimed adding that with the removal of the hindrances, Jammu and Kashmir will be amongst the fastest growing states of the

country.

Asserting that part of the Jammu and Kashmir is still occupied by Pakistan, he said that Imran Khan (Prime Minister of Pakistan) must consider handing over PoK to India at the earliest.

He warned that if Imran Khan fails to consider handing over PoK to India, the Modi government may be compelled to use force to re-claim the portion of the region.

Coming to his ministry’s initiative for the development of the Northeast region, the Union minister assured all possible assistance to Northeast states from his ministry to realise the dream of developing the region in all fronts.

Athawale arrived in Imphal on Wednesday on a two-day visit in the state on the Prime Minister’s instruction to visit the states of the region on regular basis.

Addressing the press at the conference hall of Imphal Old Secretariat, the Union minister said that Prime Minister Naren-

UP student arrested on extortion charge

SHAHJAHANPUR/ LUCKNOW (UP), SEP 25 (PTI): The law student who has accused BJP leader Swami Chinmayanand of rape was arrested on Wednesday on charges of extortion and sent to 14-day judicial custody, police said.

Hours later, her bail plea was rejected.

The23-year old woman was arrested around 9.15 am from her home by a special investigation team (SIT) amid large police deployment.

Inspector General Naveen Arora, who heads the SIT of the Uttar Pradesh police, said they arrested her after “enough” digital and forensic evidence was found and statements recorded.

“We have sufficient evidence that Rs5-crore extortion money was demanded from Chinmayanand,” he told reporters.

Woman law student (face covered), outside a government hospital after a medical examination, in Shahjahanpur. (PTI)

He said three men arrested earlier for extortion said they send messages to Chinmayanand “in panic” on the directions of the woman when the money demanded was not delivered.

Another SIT member said they arrested the stu-

dent after confronting her with the video clips–one of them on an alleged conversation in a car between the three men and the student discussing the extortion plan.

The officer claimed that during the questioning

in the morning, the student “verified” the contents of the clip, confirming that it had her voice and that of the three other men.

Last week, the SIT formed by the Uttar Pradesh police on the instruction of the Supreme Court, had arrested Chinayamand on the basis of the woman’s complaint.

Simultaneously, they also arrested the three men and booked the student on the extortion charge.

Soon after the woman’s arrest, her counsel Anoop Trivedi said he has filed a bail application that was to be heard in court later in the day.

The plea was, however, rejected in the afternoon.

A local court had a day earlier admitted an anticipatory bail plea filed by the student and fixed it for hearing on Thursday.

Swami Chinmayanand not a party member: BJP

The BJP on Wednesday said former Union minister Swami Chinmayanand, accused of rape by a law student of his college, is no longer a member of the party.

“He is not a member of the BJP,” party spokesperson Harishchancdra Srivastava told PTI. The spokesperson, however, was not forthcoming about since when Chinmayanand has ceased to be the member of the BJP. “All our records are now digitised and so we cannot tell from when he has not been a member of the party,”

he said.

Chinmayanand was elected to the 13th Lok Sabha from Jaunpur in Uttar Pradesh as a BJP candidate in 1999 and had been a minister of state for home in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led BJP government. He had won general elections from Badaun in 1991 and from Machhlishahr in 1998.

After the controversy erupted, no BJP leader has come forward to extend any kind of support to Swami Chinmayanand, who has been in judicial custody since Friday. Even the

Akhara Parishad, the prominent body of seers, is set take a decision on expulsion of Swami Chinmayanand from the body at its meeting in Haridwar on October 10.

Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad (ABAP) president Narendra Giri has told PTI, “In most of the cases like this, the seer is expelled from the Akhara Parishad until he is proven innocent.” Giri said that the 72-yearold Swami Chinmayanand belonged to the Prayagraj-based Mahanirvani Akhara.

If NRC comes, Tiwari will have to leave first: Kejriwal NEW DELHI, SEP 25 (IANS): Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday said if the NRC was implemented in the national capital, Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari will have to leave the city first.

Kejriwal made the statement while responding to a question on Tiwari saying that illegal migrants were responsible for the increase in crime in Delhi, while referring to a particular case.

“If NRC was implemented in Delhi, Tiwari will have to leave Delhi first,” the Chief Minister said.

Tiwari, also a Lok Sabha MP from Delhi, had been demanding National Register of Citizens (NRC) in the national capital, after it was done in Assam.

Earlier this week, Tiwari told IANS that the NRC is important as there is no record of illegal foreign migrants living in the city, who are also a threat to the security of the nation.

“There is no record of the illegal migrants. They commit a crime but we don’t have any record. They may also do anti-national activities. It is a security threat for the people as well as the country,” Tiwari said.

Won’t bow down before Delhi ‘throne’: Pawar on ED action MUMBAI, SEP 25 (PTI): NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Tuesday said he will “voluntarily” visit the ED office on September 27 in connection with a money laundering case filed against him by the agency in the Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank scam.

The for mer Union minister put up a brave face, saying Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s Maharashtra will not “bow before the throne of Delhi”. Pawar said he believes in the “Constitution of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar” and hence, will extend full co-operation to the ED and enjoy the probe agency’s “hospitality”.

He questioned the timing of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) move, which comes days before the October 21 Assembly polls.

Pawar is the second prominent politician from the state to be faced with the ED probe. On August 22, MNS chief Raj Thackeray was grilled by the agency in a money laundering case.

“I will be mostly out of Mumbai for the Assembly poll campaign. The ED officials shouldn’t misunderstand that I am unavailable.

I will go to the agency’s office in Mumbai and give them whatever information they want,” Pawar told re-

Sharad Pawar

porters here.

The ED filed the money laundering case against Pawar, his nephew Ajit Pawar and 70 others in the bank scam on the directions of the Bombay High Court.

Pawar said he has not received any notice from the ED yet, but has come across the Press statement the agency has issued.

“Now that such a decision has been taken, it is my duty to cooperate with them. And therefore, I have decided to go there on my own,” Pawar said.

“Maharashtra follows the ideology of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. We don’t know bowing down before the Delhi takht (throne),” Pawar said.

Asked if he smelt vendetta politics behind the ED’s action, the veteran leader noted the move comes when the polls are near and nominations are to be filed

after two days.

The Rajya Sabha MP reiterated he has never been associated with the bank either as a member or director. “I have never been part of the bank’s decision- making,” Pawar said.

The leader also said that he was arrested only once in his life, in 1980 in Vidarbha’s Amravati, after he led a protest march over an agrarian issue.

His nephew and former Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar said there was no scam and added the NCP president was nowhere related or involved in the matter.

“Is it possible there is Rs 25,000 crore scam - as is being said - in the bank whose deposits were between Rs 12,000 crore to Rs 13,000 crore?” he said.

Ajit Pawar said the bank was still making profit and questioned how come it was possible for the bank to register such a performance in the wake of the alleged scam. “The matter should be probed,” he said.

Meanwhile, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said the ED registered the case based on Bombay High Court’s directive and said the step should not be ascribed to political vendetta.

Shivpuri, Sep 25 (PTI): Two Dalit children, who did not have a toilet at home, were allegedly beaten to death by two upper-caste men for defecating near a village panchayat building in Madhya Pradesh’s Shivpuri district on Wednesday, police said.

The incident took place around 6.30 am at Bhavkedhi, 25 km from the district headquarters. The village, according to locals, had been declared as Open Defecation Free (ODF) on April 4, 2018.

The two alleged assailants, Hakam Yadav and his

Security forces fully prepared: Rajnath Singh CHENNAI, SEP 25 (PTI): Two days after the Army Chief said that terror camps in Pakistan were being reactivated; Defense Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday said Indian security forces were fully prepared to meet the situation.

He was responding to a query on Army Chief General Bipin Rawat’s statement on reactivation of terror camps in Balakot in neighbouring Pakistan.

“Don’t worry, our security forces are fully prepared,” he told reporters here. Rawat had on Monday said that Pakistan has reactivated the Balakot terror camp very recently and about 500 infiltrators were waiting to sneak into India. Early this year, tensions flared up between India and Pakistan after a suicide bomber of Pakistanbased JeM killed 40 CRPF personnel in Kashmir’s Pulwama district.

Responding to another query about Punjab CM Amarinder Singh seeking the Home Ministry’s help on incidents of Pakistan-origin drones dropping consignments of arms and ammunition, Rajnath said as far as the country’s security was concerned, the armed forces have the capability to defeat any such challenges.

Tuesday, Amrarinder tweeted, “Recent incidents of Pakistan-origin drones dropping consignments of arms & ammunitions is a new and serious dimension on Pakistan’s sinister designs in aftermath of the abrogation of Article 370. Request @AmitShah ji to ensure that this drone problem is handled at the earliest”.

brother Rameshwar Yadav, were arrested soon after the incident, police said.

Manoj Balmiki, a la-

bourer whose youngest sister Roshani (12) and his only son Avinash (10) became victims of the horrific crime,

alleged that the family faced discrimination in the village due to their caste.

“We don’t have a toilet at home. The children went out to defecate in the morning. Rameshwar and Hakam, who were standing near their handpump, shouted at them for defecating on the road and rained blows of lathis (sticks) on their heads while the children were relieving themselves, killing them in seconds,” a tearful Balmiki told reporters.

“I saw the accused fleeing. The duo were caught by people some distance away,” he said. Balmiki alleged

that he had had a spat with Rameshwar and Hakam two years ago when they accused him of hacking off a branch from their tree and hurled casteist slurs at him.

“We have to wait for an hour to draw water from the hand-pump. The entire village discriminates against us,” Balmiki alleged.

Hakam and Rameshwar were arrested for murder under the IPC and the provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, said inspector R S

Interpreting freedom

F

reedom and fundamental rights of citizens are embedded in the constitutions of various democratic nations. These provide the citizens with certain privileges without intrusion from the governments. The freedom of choice is an inalienable principle of democracy by which citizens can vote, decide on what to do. Freedom has also brought changes in moral perceptions. Things that used to be unacceptable in the past, are today being championed.

Today people think freedom means, they can define their own reality. Freedom cannot be absolute since it involves proper exercise of these liberties, taken in conjunction with the need for public order, national security, the preservation of moral values, as well as respect for the rights of one’s fellowman-all of this necessarily entails that some restrictions be placed upon these liberties. The thought of such restrictions are as dreadful as unlimited and unbridled freedom.

Social Media and it is transforming the way in which people connect with each other and the manner in which information is shared and distributed. Social Media in recent times has become synonymous with Social Networking sites such as FaceBook or MicroBlogging sites such as Twitter. As the recent world events have demonstrated, social media have emerged as a powerful platform for forming an opinion as well as generating mass support. In India, FaceBook alone has around 27 crore users each. Even a microblogging site Twitter has about 3.4 crore users in India. The reach and even ability to influence of social Media is immense as it releases the shackles of time and place for engagement. Even policy makers today are widely using social media to reach out. It is different from traditional media such as print, radio and television. The amount of content that can be generated by the users themselves far exceeds the content generated by news/opinion makers.Such an interaction also enables the marginalised to participate in discussions and present their point of view. The abuse of social media is also a serious concern especially in countries where there are social or communal tensions. This was highlighted when the Supreme Court of India on September 24, asked the Centre to strike a balance between the privacy and reputation of individuals and sovereignty of the state while drafting regulations to check the misuse of social media. The move is prompted by the government’s view that slow response of social media companies to complaints were leading to the spread of rumours and false news on their platforms. Such rumours have led to violence in several parts of the country. Rising incidents of lynching sparked by rumours - like of child kidnapping - on platforms such as WhatsApp have pressed the government into action The government has been looking at ways to combat online trolls, including making it mandatory to link social media accounts with phone numbers or official IDs such as Aadhaar cards and passports. Anonymity is both a positive and negative attribute of the Internet. Balancing people’s right to privacy online with the need to combat crime and abusive behaviour is a tricky but necessary task for all governments. On the other hand, there is also the danger of such laws being misused such as AFSPA or MCCOA.Any regulation should, therefore not turn out to be tools to victimise.

DailyDevotion The “Go” of Relationship

Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. —Matthew 5:41 Our Lord’s teaching can be summed up in this: the relationship that He demands for us is an impossible one unless He has done a supernatural work in us. Jesus Christ demands that His disciple does not allow even the slightest trace of resentment in his heart when faced with tyranny and injustice. No amount of enthusiasm will ever stand up to the strain that Jesus Christ will put upon His servant. Only one thing will bear the strain, and that is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ Himself— a relationship that has been examined, purified, and tested until only one purpose remains and I can truly say, “I am here for God to send me where He will.” Everything else may become blurred, but this relationship with Jesus Christ must never be.

The Sermon on the Mount is not some unattainable goal; it is a statement of what will happen in me when Jesus Christ has changed my nature by putting His own nature in me. Jesus Christ is the only One who can fulfill the Sermon on the Mount.

If we are to be disciples of Jesus, we must be made disciples supernaturally. And as long as we consciously maintain the determined purpose to be His disciples, we can be sure that we are not disciples.

Jesus says, “You did not choose Me, but I chose you…” (John 15:16). That is the way the grace of God begins. It is a constraint we can never escape; we can disobey it, but we can never start it or produce it ourselves. We are drawn to God by a work of His supernatural grace, and we can never trace back to find where the work began. Our Lord’s making of a disciple is supernatural. He does not build on any natural capacity of ours at all. God does not ask us to do the things that are naturally easy for us— He only asks us to do the things that we are perfectly fit to do through His grace, and that is where the cross we must bear will always come.

Are we going forward ?

travelled to Zunheboto via Kohima/Kantsunyu/Asukiqa/Ghukiye from Dimapur on 4.9.2019 to attend the funeral of my uncle. I was travelling in a good conditioned Innova Crysta. Due to the condition of the road, I had tyre puncture twice and thus it took me a total of 11 hours to traverse a distance of around two hundred kilometres.

Which means distance that could be covered in one hour was about twenty kilometres. There is perhaps no road in Nagaland today which we can call good. Even commuting between Dimapur and Kohima is no longer a journey but an ordeal. We can imagine the condition of roads in other districts, particularly far flung areas- be it central, eastern or any other part. Can we call this progress ? We cannot blame only the present Government who are barely one and a half year old, but successive Governments in the last two decades or more. Perhaps a serious introspection is required and the system needs a complete overhaul. Corruption has o be checked, responsibilities fixed on the erring authorities and the contractors. Culture starts from the top and our legislators and leaders must take the lead. I have retired some years back but the dream to see Nagaland grow remains. I am aware of some of the ongoing projects/ proposals and would like to offer some suggestions as a senior citizen : 1. As far as authentic records are concerned, there are 7 National Highway projects which are already notified by GOI but progress seems to be far from satisfactory. Let me share some of the information with the people of Nagaland who deserve much more than what they have been receiving in the last couple of decades for various reasons. a) Mokokchung to Nagaland gate( NH 702D)- 78.50 kms

remember a time being a naïve bloke when my father would play a simple trick on me and my siblings.

The trick was that he would tell us that he knew the exact time as to when the power supply would come back after hours of blacking out the entire evening and he would look at the time by his watch and this prediction would work 7/10 most of the time.

This to us was pure magic and we would celebrate and go bonkers over it whenever the predictions worked. It’s been a decade now since this happened and nothing sorts of improvement have taken place so far in the power supply sector. Every time it’s the same old tale, strong breeze and the lights are out for hours, a little bit of torrential rain and the power supply is disrupted.

b) Gandhi Ashram Chuchuyimlang to Pangsha ( NH 2) -167 kms c) Maibung (Tenning, Nagaland) to Tamenglong (Manipur) -75 kms d) Pimla Jn Diphu road(NH 329) to NH 129A via Thahekhu to Dimapur by pass -49 kms e) Trans eastern highway linking Longwa-Pangsha- Avangkhu -280 kms f) Mokokchung to Zunheboto ad Chazouba via Thevopisu to Meluri-226kms g) Dimapur-showuba-guzunyu-Pughoboto-Zunheboto-Aghunato-Noklak- Pangsha -200 kms It is not very clear up to what stage the department has taken the matter with the ministry but even work orders have not been issued.

This is perhaps because necessary Technical/financial approval has not been obtained from the concerned ministry in Government of India. As far as Serial no e) and g) are concerned I and some colleagues had personally met and submitted a petition to the Union Minister, Shri Nitin Gadkari when he visited Dimapur in 2015 and inaugurated the four lane Dmr to Kma project. This had been approved in principle and was subsequently notified as national highway. In fact Rs 10,000 crores package was announced for Nagaland for various works including the above and other Roads and Bridges in various parts of Nagaland.

This had appeared in the local dailies on 3rd November 2015. I am not aware of the progress or completion of any of the projects even after a lapse of over four years. We need to wake up ! Fortunately the same Government is back in power in the centre.

Capital road : I would also like to make a mention of a very important road even more so in connection with the four lane project. Approval

was obtained for construction of Capital Road( By-pass from Dimapur to Kohima of 37.50 Km) at the cost of Rs 400 Crores under Inter-state connectivity and also upgradation of another road in Peren during 2015-16. The alignment of the road is along the bank of a river near Niuland with a very gradual slope and stable soil condition. It is learnt that works are in progress in many portions of the Capital road but it is nowhere near completion. Herein comes the question of the four lane project- if the capital road had been completed, people could have used it comfortably to commute between Dimapur and Kohima on the one hand and the construction of the bigger four lane project could have been expedited and completed within the stipulated time. It appears there is a delay. The people are made to suffer untold misery. The question that arises is- did we plan carefully ? are we willing to find solutions or just sail along ?

The question really is whether there is political settlement in the near future or not- people will need good roads to progress. In fact in a hilly state like Nagaland, the roads are the lifeline. Funds are also to be given by Government of India if the state is able to pursue the matter in right earnest and as per the required norms. We have already lost a lot of time since the necessary in-principle approval has been given by GOI. I am confident that the State Government will be able to expedite and take up these important roads and also other important roads touching the rest of the state without any further loss of the time and it is hoped that the people will extend full cooperation.

What Nerve!

curses cursed on the power department by the citizens, one can imagine an isle of various categories of goods like those in humongous shopping malls except with no shoppers.

With that being mentioned, what about us people? Did we ever do enough to conserve electricity? How about that one time when you stole electricity from the main power supply leading to a short circuit and forcing the colony transformer to shut down for a day or two?

Does it ring any bells when you complain of power outrage in your vicinity? Fresh memories I suppose, because we don’t remind ourselves of our highhandedness but instead blame it all on the department just for the sake that there is a department to blame on. In my opinion, I believe that power supply in Kohima is a little bit/more

better than in Dimapur but basing on the geography of these two regions we’d all think Dimapur would fair well and it turns out to be quite the opposite.

However, there is no doubt that the workers in the power department work relentlessly to provide an uninterrupted supply of electricity but somewhere along the line things might’ve gone haywire and the death records of those during their line of duty is remorseful.

We as concerned and sane citizens should go to the extent of understanding the difficulties faced by the electricity department because in the end it affects us directly or indirectly. There might be reasons such as unavailability of equipments, shortage of manpower, poor climatic conditions that might hamper power restoration, and of course the lack of support

and understanding from the commoners as well as the government which is acting as a hindrance for smooth supply of electricity. But seriously, the power department have to up their ante and try to be more sophisticated since not much of an improvement have taken place in the last decade and to quote that we are sweeping with the tide of digitalization is somehow comical basing on the ground realities. Let us keep our nerves to ourselves and try not to be skeptical, since, for development to be pursued on all four corners, team effort is required and it is through mutual understanding betwixt the commoners and the power department that improvement and positivity can shake hands.

Crusade against Plastic: Decision of the Hour

O

ur honourable Prime Minister, Modi has been the torch-bearer of health and hygiene ever since his inception. Swatch Bharat Abhiyan, the nationwide ambitious campaign of “Neat and tidy India” was officially launched by him on 2nd October 2014, on the day of Gandhi Jayanti.

This campaign aims to clean up the streets, roads and infrastructure of our cities, towns, and rural areas. Gradually, this campaign has started yielding visible results in our public places like railway stations, bus stands, market places, highways etc.

Recently, on 25th August, Modi, in his Mannki-Baat address over radio, reiterated his campaign that on forthcoming 2nd October, i.e. the 150th Gandhi Jayanti, our nation will dedicate an opendefecation free India to Gandhi. At the same time, he stated that India will ignite a new revolution against plastics by simply banning it.

According to Greenpeace, the global organised environmental movement, India is the home of 22 out of 30 most polluted cities in the world. Our entire nation is generating around 9,400 tons of nonrenewable plastic wastes per day, as per the union ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.

The same report also estimates that our per capita annual plastic consumption may nearly reach 20 kg by 2022 at the prevailing rate.

This enormous amount of non-degradable waste is categorically contaminating our entire ecosystem day by day and it will take several hundreds of years to get it decomposed and exhausted completely.

In India, there is an old history of repelling disposable plastics. Sikkim is the first state to ban disposable plastics officially in 1998. Gradually, more states were joining in the row. Now, as many as 25 states as well as union territories are in the process of banning plastics in India including Nagaland. However, there are visible confusions and differences about per-

Plastic Free Hornbill Festival 2019

and other STALLS i) Local food cultures be promoted /allowed ii) P r o m o t e l o c a l bakery products, minus the plastic wraps. iii) Reusable utensils, cutlery along with reusable, flasks bottles and mugs be provided, brought and promoted iv) No packaged junk food, such as chips, tetra pack/ plastic cold drinks bottles, or any manufactured good. They pollute. v) Vendors should not be allowed in the venue vi) No plastic warps for products sold, only paper or cloth bags to be used 4. BANNERS AND OTHER SIGNAGE i) No Flex Banners, can consider using Cotton cloth, wood, bamboo, stones, clay or any other bio-degradable locally available materials ii) Promotion of local art. iii) No plastic identity cards. iv) No balloons or other plastic toys etc.

The Way forward, to achieve and plan out the above strategy would be that, there be an immediate Volunteer mobilisation and intensive sensitisation.

Simultaneously the - Media strategy and campaign for a Zero Waste Hornbill 2019 be set in place, followed by advisories for communication to visitors/ stalls / performers etc and engagement with stalls for their cooperation and compliance. Constant reminders through print and electronic/social media to all visitors/participants to carry their own shopping bags, containers, and refillable water bottles to the festival venue, and avoid all SUPs. A “10 Days Plastic Freedom Challenge” campaign can be initiated, in all the print, social and electronic media, by the government to raise awareness and disseminate information to create the desired impact.

The Hornbill Festival is the coming together of all the elements that is made up of Nagaland.

It’s a tourism promotional event that show cases Na-

galand in all its diversity and ethnicity – culturally and traditionally. As such, efforts should be made to focus on this distinctiveness in terms of our local food, indigenous crafts, songs and dance and our skills in using alternatives, such as bamboo baskets, spoons, mugs, leaf plates etc.

All items of manufactured goods, (particularly packaged food items) should not be encouraged in the venue, as these are the biggest pollutants. Focus should be on encouraging local and indigenous products, be it food or other items. Thus, “Zero Waste” is all about “buy local, eat local and encourage local”.

The Hornbill Festival of Nagaland, has gain prominence at both the national and international levels. And today, as we face the impact of the global climate change, let us show the world that we too are dong our bit in our fight for a better world and a better future, and stand in solidarity with the rest of humanity.

It’s a challenge for

all of us to add another feather to the now famous HORNBILL FESTIVAL OF NAGALAND. Let us join hands in our concern with the increasing problem of waste across our fragile landscape and advocate zero waste principles and practices, specifically targeting plastic pollution. This principle may also be extended to other events, such as the Kohima Night Bazaar, the Nagaland Honey Festival

missible grades of usable polythene. Of course, it is true that the use of plastic is gradually fading out due to the aggressive awareness campaigns carried out by both governmental as well as non-governmental organizations. Yet, plastic wastes are piling up in huge amount every where.

Our honourable Supreme Court has rightly stated, “the next generation will be threatened with something more serious than the atom bomb unless a total ban on plastic is put in place”.

At this juncture, I must appreciate one longtime, lone crusader against plastic whom I know well.

Madame Neilevono Vüpru, a senior teacher of education from Patkai Christian College(Autonomous), Dimapur is waging a commendable fight against disposable plastics alone for more than a decade now. She always carries some bags/sacks along with her to put her belongings wherever she goes and campaigns against the evils of disposable plastics whenever possible. Nobody had bothered about her solitary tussle with plastic earlier but she continued incessantly with her deep conviction. Nevertheless, many are following her silently in the recent times and now her fight has started bearing fruits. Kudos to her extraordinary consciousness against plastic.

Our immediate neighbouring country, Bangladesh is the first country in the world to ban lightweight plastics in 2002.

They are followed by most of the countries of the world phase by phase. Finally, India is also heading towards a nationwide ban on single-use, disposable plastic products, including lightweight plastic bags, thermocol plates and coffee cups. Surely, our plastic-free life will suffer measurably initially and it will take some time to get used to with the new normal. But, this temporary hassle is the utmost need of the hour.

We must join hand in hand to mitigate the dreaded plastic menace forever.

Ranjan Das Patkai Christian College Campus Chumukedima-Seithekema, Dimapur, Nagaland 797103

and other events and festivities that would be held in various locations in the state around the same time, as well as other times. Let’s make Nagaland proud in our journey towards a Plastic Free and a Zero Waste destination, eventually. As the saying goes “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” Lao Tzu.

Reader’s Post Sir,

There is no healing

With so many various organisations in Nagaland and so much disunity even within the unions etc, it is no wonder so much of social upheaval is taking place.

Our fragmented society needs to be glued back together and rhetorics will no longer work because people are not interested any more. The church needs to reclaim the people back into the fold of Christ and salvation as many young people are being misled away. Within the tribal hohos and even other unions, there is so much division and disunity which is only confusing the public at large. There seems to be no healing in our state even as we keep talking about peace.

Pak GPS-fitted drones airdropped weapons

CHANDIGARH, SEP 25 (PTI): GPS-fitted drones capable of lifting up to 10 kg flew in from Pakistan seven to eight times to airdrop the cache of arms, ammunition and fake currency seized in Punjab’s Tarn Taran district, a police probe revealed on Wednesday.

It was the first incident reported in Punjab, in which drones were used to drop weapons and communication devices, among others, from across the border, an official said, adding that a half-burnt drone used in the operation was recovered from Tarn Taran.

The Punjab Police on Sunday claimed to have busted a terror module of the Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF), backed by a group based in Pakistan and Germany. It said the terror group was conspiring to unleash a series of strikes in Punjab and adjoining states.

Four members of the module -- Balwant Singh, alias Nihang, Akashdeep Singh, alias Akash Randhawa, Harbhajan Singh and Balbir Singh -- were arrested

from the outskirts of Chohla Sahib village in Tarn Taran on the same day.

During questioning, the accused told investigators that GPS-fitted “big” drones were used to drop arms and ammunition from across the border in Tarn Taran district, an official of the Counter-Intelligence wing of the Punjab Police said on Wednesday.

“Drones were sent from across the border for seven to eight times to deliver arms and ammunition,”

the official said, adding that consignment of weapons was delivered this month.

One drone can lift up to 10 kg of weight, he added.

Five AK-47 rifles, 16 magazines and 472 rounds of ammunition, four Chinese-made .30 bore pistols, along with eight magazines and 72 rounds of ammunition; nine hand grenades, five satellite phones with their ancillary equipment, two mobile phones, two wireless sets and fake currency with face value of Rs

10 lakh were seized.

Though investigations are underway, it is believed that the weapons meant were to be used to spread terror in Jammu and Kashmir.

Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Tuesday described the use of drones for delivery of weapons as “a new and serious dimension on Pakistan’s sinister designs” after abrogation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir.

Notably, India last month abrogated provisions under Article 370 that granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir.

Meanwhile, police recovered a half-burnt drone from the godown of a rice shelling unit located in Chabhal area on Bhikhiwind road in Tarn Taran.

It was recovered based on information received from the accused during questioning, a police official told PTI on the condition of anonymity.

“The accused said the drone was burnt as it failed to return to Pakistan after dropping off the first consignment of weapons in vil-

In this regard, he said AFRI select superior trees in the forest and to multiply the trees it basically goes for progenitive plants and to increase the productivity he said it involves both conventional and non conventional technology. Arya informed that AFRI works for improvement of the forest with

DDCF questions authority over illegal tax

DIMAPUR, SEP 25 (NPN): Dimapur District Citizens’ Forum (DDCF) has expressed deep concern and questioned the responsible authority(s) over the issue of illegal collection in and around Dimapur that was happening in broad daylight portraying Dimapur in a bad light.

DDCF through its media cell said that all the illegal taxations by the state and non -state actors were “quite a situation of shock for the public”.

The forum stated that formation of Public Action Committee (PAC) by the citizens of Dimapur was in one way “a very big shame” for the govern-

ment as it clearly showed the failure of the government to contain such illegal activities, which was the “root cause of peoples’ suffering.”

DDCF has, therefore, urged the responsible authority to look into the representations submitted by the PAC and implement them immediately.

Meanwhile, the forum has appreciated the PAC for its noble cause and taking the initiative for the welfare of the people.

DDCF has appeal to all the citizens of Dimapur to come out and support PAC in its endeavour and strengthen PAC for a better and progressive Dimapur.

condemnations it received for suspending the road works but asserted that the goodwill voluntary services cannot be ignored just because of baseless defamations without basis by Shivalaya Company.

TVC has therefore, appealed to the district administration and the state highway department to take note of its genuine grievances and accord befitting recognition of their selfless services rendered for the welfare of the public during such periods of devastation of the road project.

(From p-1) NSF has, therefore, asserted that as custodian of the Nagas’ future it was compelled to question the sincerity and political vision of the Government of India in resolving the protracted “Indo-Naga conflict” which has cost immense suffering and lives to both the parties.

Those who spoke at the rally included Supreme Court lawyer Prabu, Dal Khalsa spokesperson Kanwar Pal Singh, Supreme Court lawyer Worso Zimik, Naga Hoho General Secretary Elu Ndang, NSUD President Hinoto Awomi, NSF President Ninoto Awomi.

Forest deptt issues public...

(From p-1) The department has also appealed for avoiding giving heed to rumours especially on social media.

In case of sighting of the wild animal, public have been asked to avoid approaching or provoking the animal, but to report immediately to wildlife authorities at 87318 21345 (Tokaho, wildlife warden) and 87878 90194 (Hukai Zhimo, forester I).

Stating that it was aware of the issue and was taking all necessary steps, the department has sought cooperation and support of the general public to help tackle the issue.

MUMBAI, SEP 25 (PTI): Rebutting social media rumours swiftly, the Reserve Bank of India on Wednesday said no commercial banks are going to be shut.

Finance secretary Rajiv Kumar described such social media messages as “mischievous” saying the government was in process of strengthening public sector banks by infusing capital in them.

“Reports appearing in some sections of social media about the RBI closing down certain commercial banks are false,” the central bank said in a statement.

Messages are circulating in various social media platforms that nine banks will be closed down permanently by the RBI and appeals being made to public to withdraw their money from them.

“No question of closing any #PSB, which are articles of faith. Rather Govt is strengthening PSBs with reforms and infusion of capital to better serve its customers,” Kumar said in a tweet.

Imran says Trump, MBS want him to be Iran intermediary United Nations, Sep 25 (IANS): Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that US President Donald Trump and Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman have asked him to be an intermediary with Iran.

“President Tr ump asked me that if we could de-escalate the situation (with Iran) and maybe come up with another deal,” he told reporters here on Tuesday.

“I immediately spoke to President (Hassan) Rouhani yesterday (Monday), after the meeting with President Trump. But right now I can’t anything more than this except that we are trying and mediating.”

He added that the Crown Prince has “also asked me to talk to the Iranian President” about de-escalating the situation.

Already, because of Pakistan’s patronage of the Taliban, Khan is being seen as an influential player in Trump’s attempts to make a deal with the militant group so he could bring back the American troops stationed in Afghanistan as he had pledged during his election campaign.

A role with Iran could add to Khan’s influence with Trump.

A crisis has been brewing in the Gulf region after Trump pulled out of

As tensions mounted, Iran brought down a US military drone in June.

Trump stopped a retaliatory US missile attack on Iran at the last moment.

Two oil tankers were attacked in the Gulf of Oman, also in June, and Saudi oil facilities were hit by drone attacks on September 14.

Although the Iranbacked Houthi rebels in Yemen have claimed responsibility for the attacks on Saudi facilities, the US has blamed Iran.

Because of Trump’s

- and his base’s - opposition to foreign military entanglements, the US feels constrained in retaliating against Iran and Tehran feels that it could get away with provoking the US or its allies.

French President Emmanuel Macron is also on a mission to end the US-Iran standoff. “France is trying to put together proposals to avoid an escalation,” he said. He is also trying to get Trump and Rouhani, who are both in New York for the General Assembly, to meet.

Rouhani has so far refused to consider such a meeting unless the US sanctions are lifted.

About Afghanistan, Khan said: “We are trying now to get the talks restarted between the Taliban and the Americans.”

Turkey’s Erdogan raises Kashmir issue at UNGA

3 killed as blast hits Ghani’s campaign office

New York, Sep 25 (IANS) : Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday raised the Kashmir issue in the United Nations, and said the stability and prosperity of South Asia cannot be separated from Kashmir. In his speech before the UN, Erdogan said that despite the UN resolutions “eight million people are stuck” in Indian Kashmir.

He said that for a safe future it is imperative to solve the issue of Kashmir through dialogue rather than conflict. Erdogan said that the 72-year-old Kashmir issue should be resolved through dialogue on the basis of justice and equity.

“Despite the resolutions adopted, [India-occupied] Kashmir is still besieged and eight million people are stuck in Kashmir,” he said. Erdogan criticised the international community for failing to pay attention to the Kashmir conflict. “In order for the Kashmiri people to look at a safe future to-

gether with their Pakistani and Indian neighbours, it is imperative to solve the problem through dialogue and on the basis of justice and equity, but not through collision,” said Erdogan.

His speech came after Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan met Erdogan on the sidelines of 74th session of the UN General Assembly in New York earlier in the day, and discussed with him bilateral relations and the latest situation since India’s “illegal and unilateral actions” of August 5 to revoke special status of Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan media reported.

Kabul, Sep 25 (IANS): Three people were killed and seven others injured after a blast hit a campaign office of Afghan President Ashraf Ghani in Kandahar city, a police official said Wednesday.

According to the official, an explosive device was planted on a wall of the campaign office, which went off on Tuesday evening, Xinhua news agency reported.

Without providing more details, the official said that an investigation had been initiated into the incident.

Wednesday is the last day of the election campaign for the presidential election on Saturday and Ghani is a leading candidate in the race that has 17 other candidates in the fray.

This is the second attack on Ghani’s election campaign over the past one week.

Israel committee announces First Arab set to blast off into space, election results amid deadlock says voyage will make “History” Jerusalem, Sep 25 (IANS): Israel’s Central Elections Committee on Wednesday announced the final results of the September 17 parliamentary elections, saying that incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling Likud Party should be given an extra seat or 32 in total after possible misconducts in six ballots.

The Elections Committee said in a statement that the decision was taken after “a careful checking” of the possible misconducts, reports Xinhua news agency.

The right-wing ruling party was however, still lagging behind the centrist Blue and White, led by former Defence Minister Benny Gantz, which won 33 seats. The Arab-Jewish Joint List party won 13 seats, becoming the thirdlargest party in the Knesset (Parliament).

“Israel Our Home”, the party of Avigdor Lieberman, the emerging kingmaker of the recent elections, won eight seats.

Lieberman has called for a “broad, liberal unity government” with the religious parties. Shas, a Jewish ultra-Orthodox party, won nine seats, while another ultra-Orthodox party, United Torah Judaism, won seven seats.

Yemina, a coalition of pro-settler parties and Netanyahu’s close allies, won only seven seats.

The Labor party won six seats and the Democratic Union, a coalition of left-wing parties that includes former Prime Minister Ehud Barak, won five seats.

In the election, which were held after the polls in April failed to form a government, none of the parties gained enough votes to form a majority government in the 120-seat Parliament, creating a political paralysis.

In an attempt to break the deadlock, President Reuven Rivlin called Netanyahu and Gantz for a meeting and reach an agreement to form a unity government.

The two leaders were expected to meet for the second time on Wednesday at the President’s House in Jerusalem.

Officials with both parties said no breakthrough in the negotiations has been achieved.

Netanyahu, who has been in office since 2009, has refused to step down, calling for a broad unity government under his leadership. Leaders of Blue and White party have repeatedly said during their election campaign that they will not join a government under Netanyahu’s leadership as long as he has corruption cases against him.

Netanyahu is a suspect in at least three separate criminal cases of bribes, fraud and breach of trust.

Toll rises to 37, over 452 injured in quake in Pakistan Islamabad, Sep 25 (PTI): The death toll in the devastating earthquake that rattled Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and several northeastern cities in the country rose to 37 on Wednesday as authorities stepped up rescue operations to save people trapped in debris of several toppled buildings.

The epicentre of the powerful 5.8-magnitude earthquake, which occurred at around 4 pm on Tuesday at a depth of only 10 kilometers, was near Mirpur city in the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), roughly 20 kilometers north of Jhelum in Punjab, according to the US Geological Survey.

The earthquake resurrected the haunting memories of a monster tremor that had wrecked the region 14 years ago.

Humbled by generosity: Big B on Dadasaheb Phalke honour

M

egastar Amitabh Bachchan on Wednesday said he was short of words to express his gratitude after he was named Dadasaheb Phalke Award recipient for 2018.

The 76-year actor, who completes 50 years in cinema, took to Twitter to share his response with fans.

“There is a paucity of words searching a response.. for the generosity of words that pour in.. I am but deeply grateful and most humbled.. my sincerest gratitude,” Bachchan wrote.

On Tuesday, Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar announced the award for the Bollywood veteran.

The award, named after

the father of Indian cinema, Dhundiraj Govind Phalke, was instituted in 1969, the year Bachchan made his debut in Hindi film industry with “Saat Hindustani”.

Considered the highest honour for an artiste in Indian cinema, the award comprises a Swarna Kamal (Golden Lotus) medallion, a shawl, and a cash prize of Rs 10,00,000.

It was conferred upon late actor Vinod Khanna in 2017.

Congratulations continued to pour in from the film industry after Bachchan was announced as the recipient.

Legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar said she was thrilled with the news.

“Namaskar Amit ji.

I am delighted to know you have been honoured with the Dadsaheb Phalke Award. Hearty congratulations to you. An award named after the Father of Indian cinema being bestowed upon the megastar of Indian cinema is a historic feat in itself,” Mangeshkar tweeted.

Director Shoojit Sircar, whose “Piku” earned the veteran his fourth National Film Award for Best Actor, said he was proud of Bachchan. “@SrBachchan sir many many congratulations. Proud of you. See you soon,” Sircar wrote on Twitter. He is reuniting with Bachchan for his next directorial “Gulabo Sitabo”, which also stars Ayushmann Khurrana.

South superstar Mammootty said it was about time the actor received the honour.

“Wishing dearest Amitji my hearty congratulations! In fact in all our eyes you deserved it much earlier.

But still brings me so much joy to know you’re being awarded the Dadasaheb Phalke Award,” Mammootty wrote.

opportunity,” Prabhu Ram, Head-Industry Intelligence Group, CMR, said in a statement.

Women attributed their taking to mobile gaming to multiple factors, including their peers and friends, to their spouses and even, ads on social networks.

Among the key benefits cited by the women, playing mobile games is

seen as a major stress buster and mood elevator, thus, serving as a distraction from the constant work pressures or daily chores.

The relative convenience of playing games on smartphones, anywhere, anytime, is an advantage, cited the women.

“Ranging from professionals playing mobile games in between breaks at work, or while on the commute, to women playing games at home amidst breaks from domestic chores, to elderly women keeping up with technology -- the demographic profiles of female gamers span across age groups,” said Satya Mohanty, HeadUser Research Practice, CMR.

The Indian U-18s had started the match on an attacking note and, despite having possession, the Colts could do little in front of goal with Sri Lanka heaping bodies in defence and making it difficult for the U-18 boys to play their passing game.

Lex Sportel bags media rights for Nepal’s EPL T20

New Delhi, Sep 25 (IANS): Gurgaon-based broadcaster Lex Sportel Vision on Wednesday announced the acquisition of global broadcast rights for the Everest Premier League, Nepals premier T20 Cricket League.

This will be Lex Sportel’s first foray into Nepal cricket, with the hope of highlighting the talent on display in the country to the entire world. Lex Sportel will also be responsible for production of the telecast and distributing the world feed across the globe.

Everest Premier League (EPL) is a franchise-based professional T20 Cricket League contested every year between teams representing different cities of Nepal.

The six franchises competing for the EPL

trophy are Kathmandu King’s XI, Lalitpur Patriots, Pokhara Rhinos, Chitwan Tigers, Biratnagar Warriors and Bhairhawa Gladiators. These teams will go head to head to be crowned the champions of EPL from February 29March 14, 2020.

Commenting on the acquisition, R.C. Venkateish, MD and CEO Lex Sportel, said: “Nepal is a country with such a huge tradition and frenzy for sports.

Rohit, who has been one of India’s premier batsmen in the limited overs set-up, has been given the opportunity to cement his place in the Test side and become a permanent feature in all the three formats by moving him to the top of the order.

The 32-year-old will be challenged by Kagiso Rabada and company and will

Rohit Sharma (L) and Umesh Yadav

have a good taste of what he would be up against in the three-Test series which begins on October 2 in Visakhapatnam.

The tour game will also prove to be a good opportunity for Umesh Yadav who has been inducted into the squad as a replacement for the injured Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah has suffered a

minor stress fracture in his lower back and was ruled out on Tuesday.

The game will be a good dress rehearsal before the Visakhapatnam Test as the likes of Ajinkya Rahane and Hanuma Vihari, who were among the runs against the lacklustre bowling lineup of the West Indies, will be facing the quality red

ball attack of South Africa, comprising Rabada, Vernon Philander and Lungi Ngidi.

Another player who will be in focus is Karun Nair -- India’s second triple centurion after Virender Sehwag. Nair had a poor domestic season last year and even though he was in England for the Test series, he didn’t get a game. Nair will be aiming to score some big runs in order to force the selectors to find a way for him in the squad.

Meanwhile, for the Proteas, regular skipper Faf du Plessis is back with the team and he would be raring to come out and make a statement after he was ignored for the T20I series as Cricket South Africa has decided to try Quinton de Kock in the shorter format.

Correspondent KOHIMA, SEP 23 (NPN): 10-men Nagaland football team suffered a heavy defeat against Meghalaya ( 6-1) in their second match of the Santosh Trophy 2019-20 North East qualifying round at Umankanta Mini stadium, Agartala on Wednesday.

Meghalaya team managed to score two goals in the first 10 minutes, and a send off for Nagaland goalkeeper in the 28th minute hampered the team as the Meghalaya team slotted four

Deepti 1st Indian to bowl 3 maidens in T20Is Surat, Sep 25 (IANS): Off-spinner Deepti Sharma had an extraordinary outing in India’s first T20I against South Africa in this Gujarat city. She ended with figures of 4/8 with three of the four overs she bowled being maidens. This is the first time that an Indian has bowled as many maidens in a T20I match. Deepti gave away runs only off the 19th ball that she bowled in the match. Two of these overs were wicket maidens with Deepti taking two on the trot in the 9th over and a wicket in the 14th. The Agra girl’s spell helped India defend a target of 131. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur scored 43 for the hosts as they batted first. Although Mignon Du Preez scored a half century, South Africa could never get their chase going. Apart from Deepti’s three-wicket haul, Shikha Pandey, Poonam Yadav and Radha Yadav got two wickets each while Harmanpreet got one.

more goals in the match.

Ringham Jigdun was the only goalscorer for the Nagaland team who scored in the second half.

According to Nagaland team manager Kevilebei ZashĂźmo, the red card was controversial as the foul by the keeper was without the ball outside the area.

Despite the defeat, he was optimistic that the players will gain more confidence and experience in upcoming tournaments.

One of the players lamented the lack of the cre-

ativity in the midfield area and lack of experience in the national tournament which has hampered the match.

With only top teams from each group qualifying for the finals, Manipur will play against Meghalaya on September 27 to decide the winner of the group B. Up next, Nagaland will be hosting the Dr T Ao Northeast football Tournament likely by this year and drama for CSR will continue if the state players don't register themselves before the tournament begins.

stan batsman while 21st ranked Munsey became the first Scotland batsman to reach 600 points after scoring an unbeaten 127 off just 56 balls against the Netherlands before dropping to 585 points at the end of the series.

The series in India also saw South Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Quinton de Kock move up from 49th to 30th, his highest position in two years, after scores of 52 and 79 not out in the second and third T20, respectively.

Proteas spinner Tabraiz Shamsi has reached the top 20 in the bowlersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; list for the first time while Andile Phehlukwayo achieved a careerbest ranking of seven.

There were also some interesting developments in the Bangladesh tri-series.

Captain Hamilton Masakadza retired from international cricket in 22nd place as Zimbabweâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest ranked batsman, while Afghanistan spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman has moved into the top 10 in the bowlersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; list after taking seven wickets in the series.
