DIMAPUR, SEP 26 (NPN): Dimapur railway station, Northeast’s second busiest station and also second highest revenue earner after Guwahati for the Northeast Frontier Railways (NFR), is plagued with total absence of cleanliness as passengers are bombarded by obnoxious filthy smell from an unhygienic environment and a shameful testimony of neglect when a busy platform No.2 has been without roof for over 20 years. During heavy rains, passengers are left to fend for themselves while awaiting to board trains or de-

training from this platform. NFR authorities wash their hands off with a plethora of excuses ranging from the local management or the state government’s failure to pressurise the railway ministry for remedial actions. Pa s s e n ge r s h ave no time to find out the culprit(s) but only experience the ugly face of Dimapur railway station where foul smell permeates the air due to seepage of sewerage in the open and random dumping of garbage. Effluent from a septic tank leaks out under the footbridge of the station that connects it to Hazi

Park along with piling garbage thrown from above the footbridge. Those running a food court under Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Cooperation (IRCTC) Ltd located near the site have also complained but in vain as nothing has been done to clear up the effluent and refuse matter. Speaking to this reporter, an IRCTC staff mentioned that railway officials were visiting the area for inspection in pursuance of “Swachhta Hi Seva” (cleanliness is service) campaign, but no action had been taken so far to address the twin issue of leakage of sewage and gar-

Centre’s contribution to SDRF enhanced Spl. Correspondent

NEW DELHI SEP 27 (NPN): Centre has enhanced its contribution in the State Disaster Response fund (SDRF) from 75% to 90% with effect from April 1, 2018, Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) announced on Thursday. In this regard, Centre will contribute 90 per cent and all states will contribute 10 per cent to the SDRF. The additional contribution by Centre in SDRF on this account will be Rs. 1690.35 crore for the year 2018-19 and Rs. 1774.67 crore for the financial year 2019-20. Under the Disaster Management Act 2005, a financial mechanism has been set up by way of National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) at national level and State Disaster

Response Fund (SDRF) at state level to meet the rescue and relief expenditure during any notified disaster. SDRF has been constituted in each State in which Centre, so far, had been contributing 75% for General Category States and 90% for Special Category States of hilly regions every year. SDRF is a resource available to the States to meet the expenses of relief operations of immediate nature, for a range of specified disasters. At any point, the State Government has fair amount of funds available under the SDRF. In case of any natural calamity beyond the coping capacity of a State, additional financial assistance, as per norms, is provided by the Central Government from NDRF, in which 100% funding is by the Central Government.

bage dumping. He claimed that complaint was lodged with the station master and railways’ health department, following which one cleaner was sent to clean the area for an entire day. Though the sweeper did clean up the area to the extent possible yet the septic tank problem still persisted said the IRCTC staff. The sewage and effluent from the septic tank flows into the adjacent drain then flows onward to the main railway station drain. Some concrete slabs over these clogged drains in the railway station have been damaged or have been completely removed. Whenever there is

heavy rain, it leads to water logging and the places where the slabs are missing become holes which submerged underneath. Some shopkeepers and auto drivers alleged that there have been several instances of people falling into the drains besides the wheels of vehicles getting stuck in these open holes. All these point to utter neglect of years and prove that Dimapur Railway Station which is also the second highest revenue earner under NFR after Guwahati Railway Station has been given a step-motherly treatment by the railway authorities at Maligaon.

NEW DELHI, SEP 27 (PTI): Declaring that adultery is not a crime, the Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a colonial-era anti-adultery law, saying it was unconstitutional, dented the individuality of women and treated them as “chattel of husbands”. The judgment was welcomed by activists, who said the archaic law should have been dumped a long time ago to keep pace with the rest of world. The apex court’s fivejudge Constitution bench was unanimous in striking down Section 497 of the Indian Penal Code dealing with the offence of adultery, holding it as manifestly arbitrary, archaic and violative of the rights to equality and equal opportunity to women. A five-judge bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices R F Nariman, A M Khanwilkar, D Y Chandrachud and Indu Malhotra said that unequal treatment of

Whoever has sexual intercourse with a person who is and whom he knows or has reason to believe to be the wife of another man, without the consent or connivance of that man, such sexual intercourse not amounting to the offence of rape, is guilty of the offence of adultery

unanimous in holding Section 497 of the Indian Penal Code as unconstitutional and struck down the penal provision

The offence entailed a maximum punishment of 5 years, or with ﬁne, or both It was manifestly arbitrary and dents the individuality of women

Sec 497 is clear violation of fundamental rights granted in the constitution and

there is no justiﬁcation for continuation

of the provision

Any provision treating women with inequality is not constitution and it’s time to say that husband is not the master of woman

women invites the wrath of the Constitution. The top court, which held adultery as a relic of the past, said the autonomy is intrinsic in dignified human existence and Section 497 denudes women from making choices. While adultery should not be a criminal offence, the bench held that adultery should continue to be treated as civil wrong, and can be grounds for dissolution of marriage or divorce. There can’t be any social

licence which destroys a home, Justice Misra said. Section 497 of the 158year-old IPC says: “Whoever has sexual intercourse with a person who is and whom he knows or has reason to believe to be the wife of another man, without the consent or connivance of that man, such sexual intercourse not amounting to the offence of rape, is guilty of the offence of adultery.” Adultery was punishable by a maximum five years in jail or fine or both.

Suspected measles-related disease claims 3 lives CM directive on mass social work Correspondent

KIPHIRE, SEP 27 (NPN): Suspected measles-related disease has claimed at least three lives in Kiphire district since July 2018, state health official said here on Thursday. To take stock of the outbreak of the measlesrelated disease, the district administration Kiphire convened a meeting in the conference hall of deputy commissioner (DC) Kiphire today. At the meeting, the deputy chief medical officer (DCMO) Kiphire, Dr. Tinurenla Anichari, disclosed that around 40 children have been admitted to the district hospital Kiphire (DHK) for measles related disease and three children have died due to the disease since July 2018.

formation whether it was measles or other foreign diseases. Rashes with high fever were said to be the symptoms in most of the sick children. Health officer said that many children were brought to the hospital during the last hours and doctors were helpless. She said that more patients could be there in the district, but remained unreported to hospital. Senior medical officer DHK, Dr. Tiakhala, pointed out that 80% out of the admitted children have not received any vaccination since birth owing to ignorance or refusal. Doctors said that measles was a preventable disease, but due to none vaccination some have lost their lives. SDO(C) and ADC in-charge Kiphire, Reny Wilfred, said that medical staffs, social welfare department and education

department should work together to disseminate proper information about vaccination. He said that early treatment was the best way to prevent further health complication among children. SDO(C) also appealed to the ward chairmen to sensitize their own public in their respective wards about the Measles-Rubella (MR) vaccination that would commence October 3, 2018 onwards. Doctors and representatives from WHO, UNICEF and UNDP also shared their views about the vaccination. They said that only way to prevent Measles-Rubella was to get vaccination. Kiphire town ward chairmen also appealed to the gathering to disseminate the information in the churches. The meeting also discussed about upcoming Measles-Rubella Vaccination campaign.

DIMAPUR, SEP 27 (NPN): As directed by the chief minister, the Home department and commissioner of Nagaland have been requested to take all necessary actions with regard to the mass social work that would commence on September 29, 2018 and conclude on October 2, 2018. A chief minister’s office (CMO) communiqué stated that the proposed social work was being initiated with an objective to restore the damages caused due to the recent rains and landslides. It stated that directives are to be issued to all the deputy commissioners (DC) who would coordinate the work by involving all administrative officers along with officers of other line departments. Social work would be undertaken by involving elected members, police, ward/colonies of town, civil society groups, contractors and tribal bodies. In Ko-

hima, the social work will be led by chief minister. CMO said funds for the social work would be provided through the chief minster’s relief fund (CMRF). Adequate publicity for the social work has to be ensured through media, radio and TV to ensure active participation of citizens also. After the social work, removal of the debris to the dumping sites would be undertaken by trucks and vehicles of various departments and contractors who voluntarily offer their services. Manual labour for the purpose would be hired by respective municipal councils for which the concerned administrators would be personally responsible. DCs have been asked to work out a plan along with ADCs/ SDO (Civil) and EACs who would allocate specific locations in the towns and districts where the work would be taken up. (Cont’d on p-7)

furnishing the interiors of the new facility and increase manpower in the forensic department.

year’s World Tourism Day (WTD) is to help explore the opportunities provided to tourism by technological advances. The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) sees digital advances and innovation as part of a solution to the challenge of joining continued growth with a more sustainable and responsible tourism sector. This year, the World Tourism Day’s official celebration will be held in Budapest, Hungary, a country enjoying steady growth of tourism backed by consistent policy support and a commitment to the digital future, he stated. He also said that a tourism sector that is advanced digitally can provide major scope by improving entrepreneurship, local community empowerment, efficient resource management and

Strike hits normal life in Manipur

Correspondent

IMPHAL, Sep 27: Norma life was severely hit in Manipur as the 48-hour strike called by students’ groups in protest against raids conducted at the Manipur, commenced Wednesday midnight. The strike was called by AMSU, MSF, KSA, SUK etc in protest against “militarization” of Manipur University campus. The student bodies also demanded the release of students and teachers of the university arrested by police during September 20 midnight raids inside the university campus. No untoward incident was reported during the strike. Manipur chief minister, N. Biren Singh personally supervised the police to ensure that the shops and business establishments in the city remained open. Following the instruction by the chief minister, police forced owners to open their shops. However, schools and colleges remained shut. Government offices and financial institutions including banks in the city areas functioned as usual with stringent security mea-

sures in and around the office complexes. Poor attendance was witnessed in some offices despite government warning of stringent action against those employees not attending offices during the strike. Most of the passenger service vehicles, mostly auto-rickshaw operated their service allegedly fearing of

cancellation of their permit by the state transport department. On Wednesday, State government had ordered public transport vehicles to operate during the strike. However, the vehicles remained parked at the city parking places as the turnout of passengers were less in number. Short distance buses of the state transport department were seen plying

on the streets but only with few passengers. On the other hand, in the continued crackdown against the general strike supporters, police arrested at least four women including president of Apunba Manipur Kanba Nupi Lup (AMKIL) Ph Sakhi Devi, who imposed the general strike on the streets in Imphal.

Meghalaya Cong MLA against illegal mining S hill o n g, S e p 2 7 (IANS): Meghalaya's Congress legislator George Lyngdoh on Thursday demanded swift action against the illegal limestone mining in Nongtalang area near the India-Bangladesh border. However, Chief Minister Conrad Sangma said action has been taken against as many as 11 illegal quarries.

If mining has to be done, it should be in a legal manner so that it ensures a planned approach with strong environmental safeguards. We need to ensure that our law abiding families do not lose faith in our democratic system." Alleging that a "handful of illegal miners" were carrying out their activities without caring for the law and environment, Lyngdoh said that there were other miners who have obtained major mineral licenses for limestone mining with statutory provisions to export limestone.

Meghalaya Assembly wants Khasi, Garo languages in Constitution

Correspondent

Shillong, Sep 27: Meghalaya Assembly on Thursday unanimously passed a resolution urging the central government to include Khasi and Garo language in the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution. Moving the resolution, Chief Minister Conrad Sangma described it as a “historic decision” for the citizens of the state. The resolution was passed through a voice vote. “… It is a long pending demand. Every single citizen of our state has really wanted this particular resolution to go through so that Khasi and Garo language is included in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution,” he said. Before passing the resolution, members of the opposition Congress party Process Sawkmie, Himalaya Muktan Shangpliang besides Associate member of the ruling United Democratic Party, Syntar Klas Sunn lauded the National People’s Party-led coalition government for bringing the resolution. “We will go all out to demand from the Centre to ensure that the two lan-

guages are included in the Constitution,” Shangpliang said thanking the state government for tabling the resolution. “If needed, all 60 legislators would go to New Delhi to voice our demand for inclusion of Khasi and Garo language in the eight schedule of the Constitution,” he said urging members from both the benches in the House to come together to see the inclusion of Khasi and Garo language in the constitution. Sawkmie said that the demand should materialise because when a language survives, the race survives. The resolution stated that according to the census 2011, Garo at present has a language population 9,36,496 respectively. Noting that the Khasi and Garo languages have fulfilled many of the required criteria, the resolution said, “languages not having a script of their own also have been recognised such as Bodo. Hence, Khasi and Garo languages can be recognised.” Garo belongs to the Tibets-Burman group of languages. At post graduate level, Garo was introduced as a subject in 1996, but it

was recognised as Major Indian Language by the Guwahati University when it was established in 1947 and at a pre-university level in 1969. Khasi belongs to the Austro-Asiatic family in the Mon-Khmer group. It is widely spoken in Meghalaya and in parts of Assam and Bangladesh. The only language belonging to this family which has been included in the Eighth Schedule so far is Santali. The Khasi Authors’ Society said that according to the 2011 census, there are 14,31,344 people in India who spoke Khasi. Khasi, as a written language, has completed 176 years. Khasi got due recognition from the Calcutta University upto the entrance level since 1900, and at the degree level since 1919 in the same university. The language is being taught from the primary school level up to the PhD level. The foundation of the demand was laid nearly 58 years ago when a movement had started against the imposition of Assamese as the official language in the then state of Assam, including the erstwhile United Khasi and Jaiñtia Hills district.

Tribal party to move SC for NRC in Tripura Agartala, Sep 27 (IANS): Tripura’s main opposition tribal party, the Indigenous Nationalist Party of Tripura (INPT), would soon move the Supreme Court to press for their demand to introduce the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in the state, an official said here on Thursday. “We would file a petition before the Supreme Court soon seeking order from it for introducing the NRC in Tripura. We would also hold a sit-in demonstration in New Delhi in November on the similar issue,” INPT General Secretary Jagadhish Debbarma told IANS. He said that an INPT delegation would also meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and Tribal Affairs Minister Jual Oram in the national capital. “Currently, the INPT has been campaigning in Tripura in support of five point demands -- withdraw the Citizenship (Amend-

ment) Bill, 2016; more constitutional power to the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council; introduction of inner-line permit in these areas; and inclusion of the Kokborok language in the 8th Schedule of the Constitution,” Debbarma said. He said that last month the INPT had submitted a memorandum to the Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India in New Delhi explaining the reasons behind the need of the NRC in Tripura. “To muster support to introduce the NRC in the other northeastern states excluding Assam, we are in touch with the regional parties of Manipur, Meghalaya, Nagaland and Mizoram.” Meanwhile, another tribal party, Indigenous People’s Front of Tripura (IPFT), the junior partner of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led alliance government, is also agitating in support of similar demands.

After receiving information about the incident, a police team rushed to Purba Rangamati village and found the woman unconscious and took her to a local hospital. A case was registered at Birganj Police station, police said. Amarpur, Sub-Divisional Police Office (SDPO), Souvik De Thursday said one woman was arrested in connection with the incident.

Modi govt shunted Rafale whistleblower, betrayed nation: Congress

NEW DELHI, SEP 27 (IANS): Mounting a fresh attack over the Rafale deal, the Congress on Thursday alleged that the Modi government had shunted a senior official who had raised concerns over pricing and rewarded another official who had overruled him, saying there were “perks” for “pleasing” the government to cover its “corruption tracks.” The party also accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of “betraying” the nation over the deal to purchase 36 fighter jets from France. Congress President Rahul Gandhi led the attack saying in a tweet that the government official who wanted to prevent “theft” was “fixed by the leader of thugs”. Party leader Randeep Singh Surjewala said the government had shunted a whistle-blower who raised issues concerning the price and paying “300 per cent more” in the deal. “The Modi government shunted the whistleblower Joint Secretary (Air) who questioned the loss to government treasury by paying 300 per cent extra for 36 Rafale. “Director General Smita Nagaraj, who overruled the joint secretary, was made a member of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). Perks of pleasing Modi government

Randeep Singh Surjewala cover corruption tracks,” Surjewala said attaching an Indian Express report along with his tweet. At the party’s media briefing, its spokesperson Jaipal Reddy targeted the government stating that the “scam” was getting “thicker and thicker” and “curiouser and curiouser” with every passing day. He also referred to the newspaper report and said that before the deal was formally signed in September 2016, Joint Secretary and Acquisition Manager (Air) in Defence Ministry had raised his objections. Reddy said the first objection was on the benchmark price of the deal announced by Modi government for purchase of 36 Rafale jets, which had been pegged higher than the benchmark price for the deal negotiated by the UPA government. He said the official

also pointed out that Eurofighter, the second aircraft that had qualified in IAF trials, had offered to supply it at 20 per cent price discount and wanted similar discount from Rafale. “What happened. The Joint Secretary Rajiv Verma had to go on leave. There comes a superior officer who overrules the Joint Secretary who went on leave,” he said. He said the government should come out with a response contradicting or confirming the report. “Look at the manipulation. After all this, the process of ratification of the agreement was delayed by more than one year. It was ratified in September 2016 whereas the deal was announced in April 2015. It is an order of Rs. 60,000 crores. You are paying Rs. 41,000 crores more and took more than one year to ratify,” he said. He claimed that the “scam” is unfolding and added that the Indian Air Force needed 126 aircraft but the government purchased only 36. “ “What has happened to the remaining 90 aircraft? How will we be prepared if we are not equipped at the minimum level in respect of ‘AF’,” he said. Reddy said he was not aware of any major defence commercial pact being ratified after the

deal was signed. “After the deal was announced by the head of the government, what option the subordinates were left with?” Targeting Modi, he said “the more you try to run away, the more you get drawn in the morass of this Rafale controversy.” “Rafale scam has begun to stink and Modi has begun to sink into the sea of this scandal. There is no way he can get away from it. There is no way we will allow him to get away from it,” he said, adding that people will not forgive the government for “betrayal of the nation”. Re d dy s a i d M o d i should answer questions raised by the party and the point raised by former President of France Francois Hollande. He also referred to remarks of French President Emmanuel Macron that he was not in charge when the agreement to buy the fighter jets was signed and said the French leader did not contradict the version of Hollande that the Indian government suggested a particular private firm as offset partner. “As a student of politics, I am not aware of a single example of Prime Minister of India being contradicted by the former President of any responsible major world power in the last 70 years,” Reddy said.

‘Portuguese, Goans were always brothers & sisters’

Sharad Pawar boosts PM Modi on Rafale, adamant on JPC probe

Panaji, Sep 27 (IANS): State PWD Minister Sudin Dhavalikar on Thursday said Goans and Portuguese were “brothers and sisters” and continue to be so. His statement comes a year after he demanded an apology from Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa for “atrocities and destruction” committed during colonial rule in the state. The Public Works Department (PWD) Minister also said that his only grievance with the Portuguese colonists was that they destroyed bridges and pipelines before their exit in 1961. “I have never said that we will never accept something from Portugal or give them something. After all we are brothers and sisters right from the beginning and we are still the same today,” Dhavalikar told reporters. His statement comes after he announced that the PWD Ministry will sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Portuguese Environment Ministry in water supply operation and other allied areas. The MoU will be signed later this week. Dhavalikar, during Costa’s visit to the state in 2017, had said: “He should apologise to Goans for all the hardships and atrocities Portugal committed in Goa while they were ruling.” “The amount of destruction they did while leaving Goa in 1961 by blowing up bridges and the mayhem they orchestrated is unforgivable,” he had said.

MUMBAI, SEP 27 (IANS): Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) President Sharad Pawar has said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s image has been unscathed in the ongoing Rafale fighter aircraft row, a statement the BJP heartily welcomed on Thursday. “There is no doubt in public minds about Modi’s intentions in the Rafale deal, that’s what I feel,” Pawar said in an interview with a Marathi news channel New18-Lokmat, aired on Wednesday. However, concurring with the Congressled opposition demands, Pawar made it clear that there should be a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to probe the Rafale deal in depth to unravel the truth before the public. “When the Bofors deal with signed, the BJP was in the opposition and vociferously demanded a JPC probe which the then ruling Congress conceded. The terms and conditions of secrecy and other aspects are common in both Bofors and the Rafale agreements. So a JPC must be appointed to clear the air on the Rafale issue,” Pawar asserted. While the Congress on Thursday terming it Pawar’s “personal views” on the sensitive matter, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Amit Shah grabbed the opportunity by thanking Pawar for “placing national interests above party politics and speaking the truth”. “Dear Rahul Gandhi, you would be wiser by be-

‘MCC will come into force on premature dissolution of assembly’ NEW DELHI, SEP 27 (IANS): In what could apply to Telangana now, the Election Commission on Thursday said the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) would come into effect immediately after premature dissolution of a state legislative assembly with caretaker government deprived of all powers to take policy decisions. “The Commission has considered the matter of application of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) in the cases of premature dissolution of legislative assembly where a caretaker government has been asked to carry on the administra-

tion of that state or Union Territory for the purposes of free, fair, transparent, and robust electoral process. “On careful consideration of the matter, keeping the observation of Supreme Court in S.R. Bommai and Others versus Union of India and Others (1994), that the caretaker government should merely carry on the day-to-day governance and desist from taking any major policy situation decision in view,” the poll panel said in an order.

Delhi HC awards Rs 27 lakh to electrocuted teenager’s parents NEW DELHI, SEP 27 (IANS): The Delhi High Court on Thursday asked the municipal corporation authorities to pay over Rs 27 lakh as compensation to the parents of a 14-year-old boy electrocuted in a park here in 2014. A bench of Chief Justice Rajendra Menon and Justice V. Kameswar Rao ordered the East Delhi Municipal Corporation and the electricity distribution company concerned to pay Rs 27,38,607 along with interest of nine per cent per annum, observing that the accident had occurred due to the “negligence in maintenance of electrical

installations” in the park. “We have no hesitation in holding that in the facts and circumstances of the case, both the respondents (MC and BSES) have failed to discharge their public duty in the manner expected of them in law... we find that the respondents have failed in their duty which resulted in the accident. There is no reason as to why compensation should be denied to the victims...,” the court said. The court was hearing a plea by Rajeev Singhal for compensation due to the death of his son Akshat, who died of electric shock on July 5, 2014, at Sanjay Park in New Govind Puri.

Air Force vice chief accidentally shoots himself in thigh, is stable

NEW DELHI, SEP 27, (AGENCIES): The Vice Chief of the Indian Air Force, Air Marshal Shirish Baban Deo accidentally shot himself in the thigh on Wednesday. Air Marshal Deo was rushed to the RR Hospital in Delhi where he underwent a surgery and his femur bone was set, say sources. He is said to be stable. Air Marshal Deo had taken over as the Vice Chief of the Air Staff in July. He had replaced Air Marshal BS Dhanoa, who is now the Air Chief. SB Deo, who was commissioned as a fighter pilot in the Air Force on June 15, 1979, is an alumnus of the National Defence Academy and the Defence Services Staff College, Wellington. He has been Air Officer Commanding (AOC) of a major fighter base and commanded a Mig-21 Bison Squadron and a Signal Unit besides being the Chief Operating Officer of a forward base. As Station Commander of the Signal Unit he was actively involved in the induction of modern assets and sensors in the Air Force.

ment led by Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao is continuing as a caretaker government after it dissolved the state assembly around nine months in advance. Accepting the decision, the state Governor had dissolved the Assembly and asked the chief minister to continue in office till the elections. The EC said that in such cases the provisions of Part-VII of the Model Code of Conduct shall come into operation “with immediate effect” in the state concerned and will continue to be in force till the completion of the election to constitute the new

legislative assembly. The poll panel in its order said the provisions of the Part-VII of Model Code of Conduct would

apply on the caretaker state government as well as on the central government in “so far as matters relating to that state are concerned”.

Shah lauds Pawar’s comments on Rafale deal, attacks Rahul

BJP president Amit Shah lauded opposition leader Sharad Pawar on Thursday for saying that people do not doubt Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s intentions in the Rafale deal, and asked Rahul Gandhi to believe his own ally who has put “national interests above party politics”. “I thank Sharad Pawar, a former Defence Minister and veteran MP, for placing national interests above party politics and speaking the truth. Dear Rahul Gandhi, you would be wiser by believing your own ally and a leader of Pawar Saheb’s stature,” Shah tweeted. He tagged the Congress president in his tweet which also attached a news story on Pawar’s comments . At a time when the Congress-led opposition is mounting an attack on the government over the Rafale fighter aircraft deal, Nationalist Congress Party president Sharad Pawar has said people “do not have doubts” over Modi’s intentions. In an interview to a Marathi news channel, he also said the opposition’s demand to share technical details relating to the fighter jet “made no sense”.

Sharad Pawar lieving your own ally and a leader of Pawar Saheb’s stature,” Shah said in a mocking tweet. Congress President Rahul Gandhi has been calling Modi a “chor” (thief) on the Rafale deal. Attempting a damage control exercise, senior NCP leader and MP Majeed Memon said Pawar’s statement was being atwisted out of context. “There is absolutely no question of giving ‘a clean chit’ to anyone as suggested in some sections of the media,” he said. “I wish to make it clear on behalf of Pawar that the JPC should focus on two main issues - the financials of the deal and the pricing of the aircraft, and why Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd was suddenly edged out. The financials are very important and they cannot hide behind the secrecy clause since it’s the taxpayer’s money,” Memon told IANS. Pawar further said that while the technical clause was confidential, there was nothing wrong in revealing the pric-

Insane oil logic

ithout a doubt, people across India are groaning under the weight of rising prices of petrol and diesel which have become unbearable but the centre refuses to ease the burden and instead deflects the responsibility on state governments on reducing taxes. Thus, on one side Centre refuses to lower price under the specious plea that states earn more in taxes. The other side of the price coin is the level of unfair competition among states fixing of different levels of tax slabs. Fuel prices in India are at a threeyear high, although global crude rates halved over the same period, leaving many in the country to wonder why they must continue to pay more for petrol and diesel. The prices of fuel vary from state to state and this has invited a serious problem where vehicle owners would drive to nearby state to buy fuel. However, to prevent such practices that are detrimental to their economies, northern states such as Haryana, Punjab, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh - which are ruled by three ideologically divergent parties have decided to level the prices for the benefit of consumers. The price burden on the people is, however, not the prime motive behind the proposal. It is a step towards plugging their revenue losses and protect the petrol pump owners from losing business in a high tax zone. Tax differentials motivate automobile owners of one state to patronize pumps located in the states where fuel is cheaper due to lower VAT rates. This has been affecting the pump owners in the states where tax rates are comparatively high. Taxes on petrol and diesel are the main revenue sources of states. Because VAT is an ad-valorem levy, states have been silently reaping the windfall gains of high fuel rates at the cost of customers. The central government says that because states earn more in taxes on petrol and diesel, they should cut fuel prices. The ruling BJP even sent out tweets with a breakup of the levies on petrol in Delhi, showing that the state earned almost double of what the Centre did from fuel prices. The refusal of the Centre to reduce excise duties on petrol and diesel stems from the fact that the ruling party has its eye on the pie-more and more funds for projects in the hope that the benefits would also bring political dividends. The centre’s claim that states get Rs.21.48 or 42% per litre out of the excise charged on oil is not based on facts. The fact is that States receive 42% of only the basic excise duty from the Centre. The excise duty has three components: An additional duty (Rs 6), a special additional duty on excise (Rs 7) and a basic excise duty (Rs 8.48), adding up to Rs 21.48. States receive 42% of only the basic excise duty from the Centre. At a time of when subdued tax collections and disruptions from demonetization and GST have slowed down economic growth, the central government would find it challenging to cut the duty on petrol and diesel. Excise duty on petro products account for 50-55% of the total excise collection by the Centre. There is little logic by the centre against reduction on excise rates and leaving it to states because in the end, deficit-ridden states will be a bigger burden to the union government.

DailyDevotion The “Go” of Renunciation …someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.” —Luke 9:57 Our Lord’s attitude toward this man was one of severe discouragement, “for He knew what was in man” (John 2:25). We would have said, “I can’t imagine why He lost the opportunity of winning that man! Imagine being so cold to him and turning him away so discouraged!” Never apologize for your Lord. The words of the Lord hurt and offend until there is nothing left to be hurt or offended. Jesus Christ had no tenderness whatsoever toward anything that was ultimately going to ruin a person in his service to God. Our Lord’s answers were not based on some whim or impulsive thought, but on the knowledge of “what was in man.” If the Spirit of God brings to your mind a word of the Lord that hurts you, you can be sure that there is something in you that He wants to hurt to the point of its death. Luke 9:58. These words destroy the argument of serving Jesus Christ because it is a pleasant thing to do. And the strictness of the rejection that He demands of me allows for nothing to remain in my life but my Lord, myself, and a sense of desperate hope. He says that I must let everyone else come or go, and that I must be guided solely by my relationship to Him. And He says, “…the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” Luke 9:59. This man did not want to disappoint Jesus, nor did he want to show a lack of respect for his father. We put our sense of loyalty to our relatives ahead of our loyalty to Jesus Christ, forcing Him to take last place. When your loyalties conflict, always obey Jesus Christ whatever the cost. Luke 9:61. The person who says, “Lord, I will follow You, but…,” is the person who is intensely ready to go, but never goes. This man had reservations about going. The exacting call of Jesus has no room for goodbyes; good-byes, as we often use them, are pagan, not Christian, because they divert us from the call. Once the call of God comes to you, start going and never stop.

Post-mortem

Rabies- a public health concern 26 W orld Rabies Day 28th September is observed every year to create awareness among the Public about the importance of Rabies disease. Rabies is one of the most alarming diseases of dog. It is a fatal disease caused by a bullet shaped virus known as Rhabdo virus. The disease is transmitted from dog to dog and from dog to human being. A rabid dog become aggressive, restless and tends to bite people without provocation. It is vital that all pet owners understand the seriousness of the threat posed by rabid dog and vaccinate their pet dog. The public usually tends to think a pet dog is a harmless animal but it’s not. Sometimes a healthy dog when it feels there is a threat to its position may bite any person. Certain dogs are aggressive by nature and may bite at the slightest provocation like stepping on its tail/body/ hitting with stick/throwing stone or any hard object. Dog usually targets the face, hand or leg parts. Sometimes the tendency of a dog

to bite without provocation may be related to heredity, early bad experiences, late socialization, nutritious status and victim’s behaviour. Of all the age groups, children are most at risk for dog bites probably because of their behaviour towards unfamiliar strange dogs. Familiarity with a dog shouldn’t be taken for granted because if a dog had one bite experience, there is always happen to be a second bite case and so on. The onus is on the pet owner to recognise the dog behaviour at an early stage and either train the dog properly to be friendly, meek and docile or dispose of the dog. All pet dogs should be vaccinated at 3 months of age and thereafter annually. At any point of time if a dog had bitten a person, the dog owner along with the dog should immediately visit the nearest veterinary health centres for examination and observation of the dog to rule out any disease/rabies condition for the safety of the dog owner and the public in general.

Top court rulings on aadhar

September, 2018 will remain as landmark verdict day in the history of Indian democracy. Present ruling party and opposition parties have hailed the pronouncement of five bench judges as historic, both sides claiming victory. Aadhar card which co-incidentally was also first provided in the month of September, 2010 during UPA government has been a bone of contention till date. 12 digit, biometric ID was in use without proper legal framework and during these eight long years citizens’ data have been collected both by government and private agents rampantly, which was in a way a breach of individual privacy. This ruling by SC comes at a time when the political debate on the subject has reached the boiling point. The principal opposition party, Congress accuses BJP of collection citizens’ data for oppression and surveillance. This remark coming on the basis of pushing Aadhar as money bill, bypassing the discussion and approval in Raja Sabha where BJP is minority. In this acrimonious environment SC had to step in to ascertain the constitutionality of Aadhar and given its findings as valid with conditions applied.

It was urgent for Judiciary to intervene to dispel all misunderstanding, misuse and misappropriation of data collected. The current government was going beyond limit by pushing Aadhar in all spectra of life. As per the government record 1.2 billion plus have been enrolled to this biometric ID. And the government gave authority to many private agencies to gather data not sparing even 4 years old child who seeks admission in school. Thus, SC’s verdict to throw private agents out from intruding into individual’s privacy is most welcome judgment. Now telecom, bank, UGC, CBSE, Universities and Schools have no business to snoop into citizens’ privacy, which is a guaranteed fundamental right of the constitution. The bench clearly said that unregulated use of Aadhar can lead to “violation of right to privacy as it could possibly lead to profiling of persons and voters.” So, in the light of all this controversy five bench verdict has done away with sinister side and upheld that which is good for Aam Admi and proper for free and healthy democracy. Aadhar now will be used only by democratically government for the welfare of the people to

Plastic adverse effect on environment/health

lastics- one of the greate s t i nve n t i o n s eve r made. They are the most functional and convenient packaging option for customers and businesses, from shopping, retailing to parcelling plastic bags is used around the word in a large scale. B u t t h e q u e s t i o n i s, whether we are utilizing it in the proper manner? The most common answer would be ‘NO’. We have become so dependable towards the one time plastic bags that today we do not bother to carry shopping bags while marketing. An eye opener would be the survey conducted by the organization (The Coming Generation), where we found that 90% of the household being surveyed goes to the market empty handed. It is also found that only 2% of the household recycles the plastic bag which they get from the market.

Kohima, the capital of Nagaland on its journey to become the smart city of the state has been rapidly merging into changes with its own set of challenges. The establishment of business since the last 5 years, where in every 2 feet to 5 feet distance a shop can be found and every year a new construction for shopping complexes have been witnessed in the town. According to Kohima Municipal Council (KMC) there are around 4309 shops registered under them. With the increasing number of population, the consumer in the market also rises. The establishment of business becomes more competitive and consumer service becomes important when looking into making consumer satisfied. Packing products in plastic bags is the most common way of giving away products for the comfort of the costumers. In every busi-

ness in Kohima, almost all the shops use plastic bags (mostly one time use plastic) but what matter here is that plastic with its own advantages also comes along with its disadvantages. As a very well-known fact plastic is non-biodegradable and do not decay by the biological action of microbes. They remain in the state as we throw them making our cities, land, water bodies and soil polluted. The amount of just ‘One-Time Plastic Bags’ we consume can cover our earth four times and takes 500-1000 years to decay. The only solution to put an end to plastic hazard is to take preventive measures such as minimizing the use of plastic wherever possible; to opt for recycling bags and also to recycle the used plastics. Encourage one another to use cloth bags, jute bags or any other alternatives or substitute which is eco-friendly. The Coming Generation (TCG)

avail government welfare scheme which largely targets the poor and marginalized for their upliftment. It is also good news for the middle class citizens as they can get their dues from government hassle free. This is bad news for those who indulge in all sorts of financial fraud, which is a sign of good governance in country like India where there are persons like, Nirav Modi, MehulChoksy, Vijay Mallya etc. Lastly, though the first ruling on the subject is out in public, yet the battle is far from over. The verdict as you know had majority and minority view, with justice Chandrachud on minority bench dissenting on some issues. Also if in future governments want to expand the use of Aadhar beyond currently spelled out areas, than the battle will begin in parliament, whether government of the day will bulldoze the opposition to pass it as money bill as it is done currently. As of now the common citizens can heave a sigh of relief from being constantly ground in the mill of Aadhar by private and government institutions. Hails to Judicial wing of Indian democracy which time and again rescues common citizens. Fr. Vinoto Justin, Lazami

Consumers role

as an NGO is taking the initiative to conduct awareness campaigns, cleanliness drives, conduct seminars and workshops with the model colonies, institutions, youths and Self Help Groups. While government may be working out ways to lessen the impact of plastic bags on the environment however as a citizen of Nagaland or citizen of India we should shoulder some of the responsibilities for the problem, which ultimately has an adverse effect to our environment. Plastics are not only non-biodegradable, but are one of the major pollutants to the marine world. So, for a clean and green environment the notion of alternatives to plastic should be adopted whenever and wherever possible and also cutting down the use of plastic to save our planet.

Speech of Rh. Raising, convener Steering Committee, NSCN

give my revolutionary salute to all the martyrs! On that fateful day, the 27th September, 1980, a hundred of Naga revolutionary patriots including the then Chaplee Kilonser, Mr. Khasui Longvah, Mr. Weimei, Tatar, Brig. Thungbo, Commander-in-Chief, Naga Army, Col. Newin, GSO of GHQ, Naga Army, Maj. Shongchin, Capt. Shangam and Lieut. Johnny were killed by the coalition forces of the enemies in the Battle of Langnok.

(On the Agony Day, September 27, 2018)

They were martyred, not killed. In 1950s, thousands of Nagas both national workers and the public, men and women and young and old were ruthlessly tortured and killed by the Indian armed forces. Thousands of women were gang-raped. Equipped with the Armed Forces Special Power Act, the Indian armed forces hunted for the villagers and shot them down at sight. Villages were burnt and people were kept in concentration camps and

tortured them day in and day out which drove many others into the jungles for safety. But, as the saying goes, ‘flying out of the frying pan into the fire’, so thousands of people died of hunger in the jungle. In 1960, most of the Matikhru villagers were butchered in the eyes of their children and women. Arbitrary arrest and summary executions, burning alive and killing in the name of fake encounter continued unabated for decades. Following the Battle

of Oinam in 1987, massdetention in military custody, mass-torture, massrape and mass-murder were committed against the Nagas. Twenty five Village Authority members were arrested and summarily executed. In 1988, enemies in collusion with Naga compatriots killed hundreds of Naga national workers. Fighting and killing between the Indian armed forces and the Naga Army continued till the signing of the cease-fire agreement in 1997. According

to the reliable source, three lakhs Nagas have died. It is said, ‘Jesus is the scapegoat of the world.’ He gave His life as a ransom to set free sinners from the clutch of death. Naga martyrs are the scapegoats of the Nagas. They have paid the price for the freedom of their people. Enemies buried our martyrs knowing not that martyrs are seeds. Naga people are fortunate that they have still martyrs among them. Each and every member of NSCN is a

scapegoat of the people. In other word, they are Nazirites of the Naga people. Nazirites are the people who are set aside for the Lord and His people. If enemies fear the Nagas, it is because they have scapegoats. If other peoples and nations recognize and respect the Nagas, it is because they have Nazirites among them. All NSCN members are Nazirites of the Naga people. We will honor and remember our martyrs in all time. Rh. Raising

63 airlifted, over 300 rescued by road in Himachal on day 3

Rescued tourists being brought at Dhalpur Ground after they were rescued by Indian Air Force (IAF), in Kullu, Thursday. (PTI)

SHIMLA, SEP 27 (IANS): Sixty-three people, including three German and 10 women Indian tourists with three children, were airlifted by the Indian Air Force (IAF) from Himachal Pradesh’s snowravaged Lahaul valley on Thursday. Besides, over 300 people were rescued by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) by road also, officials said. The total number of people rescued in the past three days rose to over 1,300, including 18 foreigners. They were stranded at various locations in the

Himalayas for the past five days with heavy snowfall in the region triggering massive landslides that blocked many roads in Lahaul-Spiti district. With the weather clearing up, search and rescue operation began early for the third day. “About 400-500 people are still awaiting evacuation. All stranded tourists have been provided food stuff and medical kits and would be evacuated in a day or two, mostly by road as snow clearing operation in Baralacha Pass area is in full swing,” a government official told IANS.

A large number of people are reported to be stuck in Suraj Tal lake and Zingzing Bar areas along Keylong-Leh road. Over 300 labourers of the BRO, a Ministry of Defence wing, involved in construction of roads in forward areas have also been stranded since September 22. An IAF helicopter spotted 10 women tourists along with three children in Chhota Dara area towards the Kunzum Pass. All of them were rescued by the IAF rescuers led by Squadron Leader Vipul Goyal.

British Council to provide scholarship to 500 Indian students NEW DELHI, SEP 27 (AGENCIES): British Council, India Director, Alan Gemmell Obe Thursday said the Council would give a scholarship to 500 students from India for academic exchange programme in United Kingdom universities. The British Council will give a scholarship to 500 Indian students for academic exchange programme in 44 UK universities this year, he said. Obe said so far 105 women from India including six from North East have already availed scholarship from the council to study at a university in the UK. “We are hopeful that more students from North East will avail the scholarships being provided by the Council,” the director said. He said over the last few years there was a significant increase in visa application

by Indian students. “This has clearly indicated that the students from India are more interested to study in UK universities,” he added “The year 2018 marks 70 years of the British Council in India. We’ve supported the ambitions of millions of young people through our work to train over one million teachers in government schools and by investing in thousands of scholarships and academic exchanges,” he said. The British Council director said, “our mission

is to inspire people in Britain and India to build connections for the next 70-years.” The council, which is getting into an agreement through MoU with North Eastern Council (NEC) next month that will allow them to train teachers in the English language in the region, is planning to organize a conclave of North East education ministers in New Delhi soon in partnership with NEC. “The conclave will provide a platform for the education ministers of the region to discuss issues related to the education sector and to find out solutions,” he said. Obe said, the council’s main focus is on English teaching to teachers in government schools and so far trained about one million teachers in the country in the last 10 years.

ions were provided with relief material and they would be evacuated later, officials said. Two Chetak helicopters were additionally deployed on Thursday along with three the IAF choppers to speed up the rescue in the Lahaul valley in the Himalayas. The rescue operation will continue on Friday, too, the official said. A day earlier, Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur informed Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who called him on the phone, that the state has suffered losses totalling approximately Rs 1,250 crore due to the heavy rains. Modi has assured the state of all possible central assistance. Early snowfall in the higher reaches, cloudburst and heavy rains devastated large parts of the state from September 22 to 24. Heavy snowfall on the Rohtang Pass (13,050 ft) has cut off the Lahaul and Spiti valleys affecting a large number of tourists and hampering water and electricity supply. They have been stranded at a number of isolated locations. The BRO has been clearing the snow from various roads on a war footing. Some stretches had over eight feet of snow.

(From p-1) For each location, responsibility should be assigned to individual officers in order to make social work success. CMO stated that all efforts should be made by all concerned to ensure that “we are able to reclaim and rebuild the State.” Sanitation panel set up in Dmu A sanitation committee has been constituted in Dimapur for the proposed mass social work.

Gov donates Rs 2 lakh for marketing shed in Kiphire

P.B. Acharya with and DC Kiphire and Akehda Sangtamlaru Thsingmujang members.

DIMAPUR, SEP 27 (NPN): Nagaland Governor, P.B. Acharya donated Rs 2 lakh to Akehda Sangtamlaru Thsingmujang (AST) or Sangtam Women Organisation of Kiphire during his visit to the district on September 20 for construction of a marketing shed for women vendors at Kiphire. The gover nor an-

nounced the amount while interacting with members of the organisation led by its president Thsatila. He hoped that the marketing shed would provide women vegetable vendors with clean and secured kiosks. The organisation informed Acharya that the district administration, in collaboration with civil society bodies, was playing

a vital role in managing and handling the available essential commodities and trying to reach those desperately in need of them. AST also submitted a representation to the governor seeking his support in improving the district’s health sector. It stated that the district hospital did not have enough staff and lacked in many areas,

including machines and equipments. The representation pointed out that pregnant women were the ones most affected. Meanwhile, various organisations, including United Sangtem Likhum Pumji, Yimchunger Tribal Council and Eastern Sumi Hoho, submitted a joint representation to Acharya listing the grievances faced by people of Kiphire district. The organisations sought his intervention in road, health and other public sectors for development of the district. They also assured to provide full co operation for any developmental activities that might be carried out in the district. Similar representations were also submitted by other organisations of district. This was stated by PRO to the governor.

SC rejects plea for Constitution Bench on Ayodhya dispute

NEW DELHI, SEP 27 (IANS): By a majority 2-1 judgement that could hasten the process of hearing in the vexed RamjanambhoomiBabri Masjid dispute, the Supreme Court on Thursday rejected a plea for referring the issue to a larger Constitution Bench and referred the case to a three-judge bench to be set up that will begin hearing from October 29. “We are of the considered opinion that no case has been made out to refer the Constitution Bench judgment of this court in

Ismail Faruqui case for reconsideration,” said Justice Ashok Bhushan, reading the judgement on behalf of himself and Chief Justice Dipak Misra, who headed Thursday’s three-judge bench. The bench was giving its verdict on petitions by some Muslims who had pleaded that the 2010 judgement of the Allahabad High Court splitting the title dispute into three parts be heard by a Constitution Bench as it involved reconsideration of a 1994 ruling by a five-judge bench of the apex court which had

held that mosque was not an essential part of Islam to offer namaz. Thursday’s order assumes significance in view of the fact that a possible early judgement in the case could have implications in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections as the Ayodhya dispute has been a major electoral issue in the last over 30 years. The petitioners had contended that while deciding the title suit in 2010, the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court had referred to the observations made in the 1994 judgement by the

DC has directed all HoDs to attend the programme. After the inaugural programme, all concern would go to their respective wards/colonies and start the social work. Besides DMC and mechanical department, DC has sought help from contractors for providing dumpers/JCBs. DC added that fuel expenses would be given by the government. ADC Dimapur, Albert

Ezung informed that there would be no social work on Sunday (October 30) and social work would resume on October 1. On October 2, ADC said all the departments would be cleaning their respective office compounds starting from 7am and thereafter a culmination programme would be held at DC office at 11 am. Informing that the main emphasis of the social work was to clear the clogged drainages, ADC has asked the village/ward chairmen for identification of such areas. He informed that machineries would be provided. He also informed the colo-

Apropos the news item ‘240 afflicted by dengue in Dimapur, Kohima’ the second paragraph should read as ‘five out of the 26 samples tested in Kohima were found to be positive’ and not as published.

All the administrative officers would be detailed for supervision in different wards/ colonies/ village, he added. Social work in Dimapur would be undertaken by involving all the elected members under Dimapur district, police, NGOs, civil society groups, ward/ colonies/contractors and government employees.

Elsewhere, silver prices declined by Rs 195 to end at Rs 37,340 per kg owing to reduced offtake from industrial units.

New Delhi, Sep 27 (PTI): The finance ministry and the Reserve bank of India (RBI) are scheduled to hold a meeting on Friday to decide about the borrowing calendar for the second half of the current fiscal. The borrowing calendar for the October-March period will be decided to keep in mind the fiscal deficit target of 3.3 per cent for 2018-19, sources said. The government had budgeted Rs 6,05,539 crore for 2018-19 Gross G-Sec borrowing. It also intends to use larger inflows from Small Savings Schemes to fund its fiscal deficit during the year. It will borrow Rs one lakh crore from NSSF (National Social Security Fund) as against budgeted amount of Rs 75,000 crore. For the first half of the current fiscal, the government decided to borrow Rs 2.88 lakh crore as compared to Rs 3.72 lakh crore in the same period of FY18.

New Delhi, Sep 27 (PTI): The finance ministry Thursday said the fifth tranche of electoral bonds sale will take place from October 1-10. Electoral bonds are being pitched as an alternative to cash donations made to political parties as part of efforts to bring transparency in political funding. “State Bank of India (SBI), in the 5th phase of sale, has been authorised to issue and encash electoral bonds through its 29 authorised branches with effect from October 1 to 10,” the ministry said in a statement. The number of SBI branches authorised to sale electoral bonds increased from 11 to 29 for the 5th tranche. The 29 specified SBI branches are in cities like New Delhi, Gandhinagar, Chandigarh, Bengaluru, Bhopal, Mumbai, Jaipur, Lucknow, Chennai, Kolkata and Guwahati. The gover nment had notified the Electoral Bond Scheme in January this year. As per provisions of the scheme, electoral bonds may be purchased by a person,

He added that the new infrastructure would bolster functioning of law and order and detection of crime. Chumukedima division executive engineer H Vihokhe Sema, who delivered technical report, revealed that Rs 2,19,99,000 was spent to construct the two-storeyed building, which has 25 rooms to accommodate all the departments under one roof. The project was funded by HUDCO and constructed by M/s SN Enterprise. Construction began on April 17, 2016 and completed on May 15 this year.

been avoided, he first said institutions should have the resilience to take the impact of a few bad commercial decisions, and also pitched for allowing institutions to fail if required. “We created that expectation (that financial institutions will not fail) because of the public sector banking system that everything is the government, and its own institution cannot fail. That is a wrong expectation; individual commercial institution if they are failing because of their own fault, let them fail,” he said. He added that as the non-bank lenders do not accept deposits, the level of regulatory scrutiny on them is lower. Gandhi said the impact on the larger public if an NBFC like IL&FS were to go down, is limited to the mutual fund investments

The NFR authorities are not only neglecting but also depriving Dimapur Railway Station of connectivity and amenities mainly, because the state government has not shown any inclination to push or lobby for improvement of connectivity and amenities with the railway ministry. As mentioned in several reports by Nagaland Post, though there are not less than 40 trains passing through Dimapur from Tinsukia or Dibrugarh, there is not even a single long distance train starting from Dimapur. Nagaland Express is a short distance train to Guwahati but is becoming

another passenger train with stops at almost all stations between Dimapur and Guwahati while the Jan Shatabdi introduced to link state capitals and in this case, between Guwahati to Dimapur has been extended to Mariani and renamed as Guwahati-Jorhat Jan Shatabdi. The coaches teem with cockroaches, toilets are stinky and dirty, the squeaking and creaking sounds of the rickety coaches are constant companions while travelling by Jan Shatabdi. On the other hand, the other Shatabi between Naharlagun (Arunachal Pradesh) and Guwahati has long windows, coaches are well maintained and food somewhat tolerable.

by the common public, and added that other stakeholders in the company are institutions. The banking system exposure is also limited, he said, asserting that they can bear the reverses caused in case of any event. Gandhi said the systemic trouble will also not be very high if IL&FS were to go down, pointing out that NBFCs constitute only 15 per cent of the overall finance sector, of which, 7 per cent is held by three top companies promoted by the government. When asked if the RBI has become extra vigilant as seen in the cases of curtailing the terms of the chief executives at Axis Bank and Yes Bank, Gandhi said the action is not unprecedented and it rejects names “very often”. On the issue of data localisation, he said storing of copies of transaction locally should suffice. “So long as a copy of the transaction is available, any security-related concerns can be easily addressed,” he said, adding that if any foreign firm like Whatsapp finds the local requirements onerous, an indigenous alternative offering the same service can emerge.

Mumbai, Sep 27 (PTI): Reacting to the crisis at infra lender IL&FS, former Reserve Bank of India (RBI) deputy governor R Gandhi Thursday said the regulator should step-in only with liquidity support for the system and not worry about solvency issues. IL&FS has defaulted on its debt repayment obligations and efforts are on to find a solution, which will focus on bolstering the financial situation of the company. “The contagion has to be contained...the regulator should not step in for solvency problem. For liquidity problem, regulator should step in,” he told PTI on the sidelines of a banking industry event here. In a bid to quell concerns over shortage of cash, the RBI Thursday morning said that there is surplus liquidity in the system, and it will ensure durable liquidity by using various available instruments depending on market conditions. Gandhi cited the RBI action on providing liquidity support as the right approach. When asked about the regulatory and supervisory processes and if such a situation could have

The world leaders laughed as Trump touted the accomplishments of his administration, beginning his UNGA address by saying that his administration has “accomplished more than almost any...in the history of our country”. “Today, I stand before the UNGA to share the extraordinary progress we have made. In less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country. So True,” Trump had said.

His remarks elicited laughter and claps from the world leaders gathered at the UNGA hall for the General Debate. “Didn’t expect that reaction but that’s OK,” Trump had responded. He said America’s economy is booming like never before and since his election, the US have added USD 10 trillion in wealth. “The stock market is at an all-time high in history...African-American, Hispanic-American, and Asian-American unemployment have all achieved their lowest levels ever recorded,” Trump said. He said his administration has added four million new jobs, including half-amillion manufacturing jobs and has passed the biggest tax cuts and reforms in American history. “We have started the construction of a major border wall and we have greatly strengthened border security. We have secured record funding for our military, USD 700 billion this year and USD 716 billion next year.

Russian spy poisoning suspect was ‘honoured by Putin’: Report

N Korea’s 2017 bomb test set off later earthquakes

New York/Geneva, Sep 27 (PTI): Dismissing as “fake news” the reports that world leaders were laughing at him during his speech to a session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA), US President Donald Trump asserted that the delegates were not laughing at him but “laughing with me”. Heads of state and government present at the UNGA Hall on Tuesday audibly laughed as Trump began his address by reciting US economic gains under his leadership. “That’s fake news, and it was covered that way,” Trump said at a press conference on Wednesday.

LONDON, Sep 27 (IANS): A Russian man accused of poisoning former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter in the UK, is a military officer who received an “honour” from President Vladimir Putin, an investigative website has revealed. Following the attempted poisoning in March, UK investigators identified one of the two suspects as Ruslan Boshirov, the BBC reported on Thursday. Putin had claimed Boshirov was a civilian, and on Russian TV, he himself said he visited Salisbury as a tourist. But according to the British website Bellingcat, Boshirov is actually an intelligence officer by the name of Colonel Anatoliy Chepiga. He has served in Chechnya and Ukraine was made a “Hero of the Russian Federation” in 2014.

China warns US after airspace violation in SCS

Beijing, Sep 27 (IANS): China on Thursday accused the US of aggravating tension in the region after an American aircraft flew into the airspace over the disputed South China Sea. Blaming Washington for worsening military ties between the two countries, Beijing asked it to be “more mature” and warned of consequences of such actions, Efe news reported. “China opposes military incursions into its territory and will take all necessary actions to safeguard its rights and interests in the South China Sea,” the Defence Ministry said. “We demand the US to take a reasonable and mature attitude with sincerity and take actions to improve bilateral relationship. We ask the US to work together with China,” said Ministry spokesperson Ren Guoqiang at a press conference, adding that military cooperation could be a stabilizing factor for bilateral ties. Apart from the airspace violation, Washington had also imposed sanctions on high-ranking Chinese military officials, and approved arms sales to Taiwan.

“I was in front of a large group of highly professional people, most of whom are from either other countries or the United Nations, people that aren’t big into clapping, applauding, smiling, and I heard a little rustle as I said our country is now stronger than ever before.

Bellingcat released a photo of the man it says is Anatoliy Chepiga (left), while Russia Today named him as Ruslan Boshirov (right).

The 39-year-old trained at one of Russia’s elite academies and served with a special forces unit under the command of the GRU - Russia’s military intelligence service, the website said in a report. He earned more than 20 military awards for his service. He is believed to have transferred to Moscow around 2009, where he was given a false identity as Ruslan Boshirov and has

been working undercover for the past nine years, the report added. In December 2014, he was made a Hero of the Russian Federation. The medal, awarded in a secret ceremony, is typically handed out by the Russian President, the BBC quoted the report as saying. However, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova dismissed the new claims, saying there was no evidence.

London, Sep 27 (Agencies): A police chief has been stabbed to death in the city of Rodez, in southern France, outside the city hall, BBC reported. Pascal Filoé was stabbed three times in the middle of the street by an individual known to police. French radio network France Info reports that the suspect’s dog was taken away from him a week ago. This reportedly led him to threaten the mayor and the police chief. Mr Filoé died of his injuries in hospital shortly after the incident. The Mayor of Rodez, Christian Teyssèdre, told AFP Mr Filoé was the father of three children. “The attacker was known to police. He had defaced the city hall door on 11 April”, she said. Officials said emergency psychological support would be made available to staff affected by the stabbing.

NEW YORK, Sep 27 (PTI): The North Korean underground nuclear bomb test last year set off a series of aftershocks over a period of eight months, a study has found. The shocks, which occurred on a previously unmapped nearby fault, are a window into both the physics of nuclear explosions, and how natural earthquakes can be triggered, according to researchers from Columbia University in the US. The underground test -- which took place on September 3 last year -- was North Korea’s sixth, and by far largest yet, yielding some 250 kilotonnes, or about 17 times the size of the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima.

Another man purchased the third calf for Rs 182,000, Geo News reported. Sharif, 68, was sen-

Scientists assumed the bomb had shaken up the earth, and it was taking a while to settle back down. “It’s not likely that there would be so many events in that small area over a small period of time,” said the lead author of one of the studies, Won-Young Kim, a seismologist at Columbia University. “These are probably triggered due to the explosion,” said Kim. After looking at the series of aftershock reports, researchers sifted more closely through the data and spotted three other aftershocks that had not

Naeem-ul-Haq, the Prime Minister’s Special Assistant for Political Affairs has said that the eight buffaloes were kept by Sharif when he was the prime minister. “After the surplus car auction, 4 surplus helicopters will be sold which are lying unused with the cabinet division. Plus, now listen to this, 8 buffaloes which Nawaz kept at the PM house for his gastronomic requirements. So all potential buyers please get ready,” Haq, also a senior Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader tweeted this month.

The group then used a new analysis method that looks at energy waves that are much lower frequency and slower-moving seismic than those used in conventional earthquake analyses. These slow-moving waves allowed researchers to pinpoint the locations of the quakes with far greater precision than with conventional recordings. Instead of the random scatter initially seen, the quake locations lined up in a neat 700-metre-long row about five kilometers northwest of the blast -- indication of a hidden fracture.

Chelsea beat Reds in Carabao Cup

Naby Keita (far left) forced a diving stop out of Chelsea goalkeeper Willy Caballero.

Lo n d o n, S e p 2 7 (Agencies): A goalof-the-season contender from Eden Hazard gave Chelsea a 2-1 comeback win over Liverpool in the Carabao Cup third round at Anfield. Substitute Hazard danced past three Liverpool men on the right flank before hitting an unstoppable shot past Simon Mignolet from an acute angle as Chelsea came back from 1-0 down with just 11 minutes remaining. Daniel Sturridge, who missed a sitter for Liverpool early in the second

half, made up for it with a difficult acrobatic finish into an empty net (59) to put the hosts ahead. But Chelsea equalised late on through defender Emerson, turning home from close range (79), before Hazard’s stunner won it for the visitors late on. The result ends Liverpool’s 100 per cent start to the season, while Chelsea reach the fourth round of the League Cup for the eighth straight season. Chelsea started the better in the first half, and could have been ahead as Alvaro Morata looked to

lift the ball over Simon Mignolet from Cesc Fabregas’ superb 50-yard ball, but the Liverpool goalkeeper got enough on it before Morata’s rebound rolled across the line and clear. Liverpool found their rhythm as the half wore on, and forced two fine saves from Willy Caballero, first from Naby Keita’s drive and shot from 20 yards, and then from Sadio Mane’s header back across goal from Xherdan Shaqiri’s deft cross. Sturridge’s shocking miss came in the first minute of the second half,

attempting to round Caballero while one-on-one, before being forced slightly wide and swivelling to shoot wide with the open goal gaping. C he l se a m issed a chance of their own at the other end as Morata headed just over from Willian’s fine cross, and the frantic start to the half continued as Sadio Mane’s poked effort deflected off Caballero following another Chelsea mix-up at the back. Sturridge made amends just before the hour mark, acrobatically turning home into the empty goal 10 yards out with the ball looping up slightly behind him as Caballero saved from Keita’s fierce effort. But Chelsea levelled as Emerson turned home after Mignolet had beaten away Ross Barkley’s header from Hazard’s cross; Kevin Friend waited for a VAR review for a possible offside on Barkley, but the goal was legal. After Sturridge hit the bar from range, Hazard, who was brought on in the 56th minute, then won the game for Chelsea, slipping past Keita and then Alberto Moreno before smashing into the far corner with his right foot.
