HIGHLIGHTS NEED FOR PROFESSIONALISM AMONG NE POLICE Staff Reporter
DIMAPUR, SEP 5 (NPN): Nagaland governor R.N.Ravi has said that the fragmented approach by police forces and security agencies of north eastern states needs to be formulated into an integrated approach to tackle rise in militancyrelated crimes. He said this while addressing police chiefs of the north eastern states and heads of central police organisations at Nagaland Police Complex here Thursday under the theme “ Changing Paradigm of Challenges and Police Preparedness”. Ravi, who is associated with the Conference, said the forum today offers an integrated approach to security of the region. Referring to the conference theme, Ravi said it was relevant as paradigm of security in northeast reason has made significant change since last five years. He credited this change to the tireless ground efforts of the security agencies and firm policies of the Central government. The governor asserted that the firm policies of the Central government not to have political negotiation under the shadow of gun have led to significant improvement in security situation of the region. Since change was visible at the macro-level, Ravi said the dividends of peace
NSCN (K) warns ‘illegal immigrants’ DIMAPUR, SEP 5 (NPN): Yuang Aung-led NSCN/ GPRN (K) has issued a strong statement against “illegal immigrants”, saying it would no longer remain a mute spectator when indigenous Naga citizens were targeted by “these parasitic Illegal Immigrants.” NSCN (K) through its MIP asserted that it has been “constantly monitoring their activities and the recent incidences has prompted the government to issue this notice.” NSCN (K) observed that many indigenous Naga citizens were victimised, brutalised, man-handled, attempted to murder and even to the extent of murder in the past recent years. “These parasitic landless people who claim themselves as citizens of the other occupied states will no longer be tolerated,” NSCN (K) affirmed.

must reach the common man and that people must have a secure environment where their life, dignity and property are safe. He said this was possible only when police pays attention to normal policingthat is prevention, detection of crimes and successful prosecution of criminals. He pointed out that protracted insurgencies in the region had led to proliferation of illicit arms and illicit arms trade. Ravi said it was unfortunate that the region has the dubious distinction of being a source for illicit arms. The governor urged all states to run a coordinated drive against illicit arms, which were proliferating in the region and are also being sent to other states of the country.
Ravi said the policing was grossly inadequate during the long counter insurgency period and the thrust on policing today has to shift to professional policing. Ravi however, lamented that the present performance records of the police of the region on these parameters were far from satisfactory. To boost the morale of the police men and women, Ravi suggested the conference develop a mechanism to identify, the best police station and the best police district of the northeast region every year and honour them suitably. On rise of militant Islam in the region, he said the phenomenon was a challenge both at global and nation level. He said it was a challenge for northeast
region in many special ways because the geography of the region as any such rise would severely impact the region. Ravi then cautioned all law enforcing agencies of the region to be alert saying since the focus has to shift from combating active insurgency to tackling criminalisation because of weakening insurgency and invasion of foreigners and the rise of militant Islam movement. On NRC , the governor admitted that identification of large number of foreigners in Assam has created apprehensions among the neighbouring states of their likely infiltration in neighbouring states. He urged the conference to work out effective operational strate-
Naga Hoho appeals for unity DIMAPUR, SEP 5 (NPN): Naga Hoho (NH) Thursday gave a clarion call to all the political groups, civil societies, church leaders, all sections of the society, young and old to keep aside all differences and unite so that “our posterity will not blame the present generation.” In a press release, NH president HK Zhimomi and general secretary K Elu Ndang said Nagas’ struggle for political settlement has come a long way with blood and tears. NH said thousands of Naga noble souls have been sacrificed for the cause of the Naga people. In the process, the hoho said Nagas have experienced the division amongst and adverse consequences at all
levels. In this backdrop, NH said the Naga people having realized the negative effects of disunity came together and called for peace, unity and reconciliation among the Naga people. Since then, NH said it has been working for the unity and solution to the protracted “Indo-Naga” political problem since its inception. In line with hoho’s past leaders, NH said it has always harped on the unity and fraternity among the Nagas without borders. Asserting that it was not against the formation of any new organizations, associations, unions so long they work for the welfare and common interest of
the Naga people, NH said it was open to any individual or organizations to work cohesively without fear and interference when it comes to the interest of Naga people as a whole. NH said it has stood firm against all forces protecting the legitimate rights of the Naga people for unification of all Naga areas. Reaffirming its stance that “Indo-Naga” political settlement should be based on comprehensive and inclusive of all Naga political groups, NH acknowledged the keen initiatives of interlocutor for Naga peace talks, RN Ravi, for bringing all other groups within the ambit of political negotia(Cont’d on p-7) tions.
gies to prevent illegal migrants from sneaking into neighbouring states and also allay apprehensions of the neighbours through proper perception management. Earlier in his address, Nagaland home minister Y. Patton highlighted the insurgency problem faced by the north-eastern states for over 60 years and its adverse impact on the political and socio-economic development of the region. He said it a definite strategy with political, social and security measures was required to develop a comprehensive system to systematically secure the porous northeast region which borders five international countries. Highlighting the close coordination between insurgent groups in sharing information, weapons, intelligence etc., Patton said there was a need to strengthen the existing system of coordination between law enforcing agencies of the region to tackle the insurgency. In this regard, the home minister suggested setting up of an institutional structure for better co-ordination to deal with interstate issues especially insurgency and law and order problems. Earlier, welcome addresses were delivered by additional director IB, A K Mishra and DPG Nagaland, T. John Longkumer and vote of thanks by joint director SIB Kohima.
Congress leader and former finance minister P Chidambaram being taken to Tihar jail in New Delhi Thursday. (PTI)
NEW DELHI, SEP 5 (PTI): Veteran Congress leader and former finance minister P Chidambaram was sent to Tihar jail Thursday by a Delhi court where he will spend 14 days in judicial custody in connection with the INX Media corruption case. Special Judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar sent him to judicial custody till September 19. “The allegations against the accused were found serious therefore he
was remanded to police custody. The investigation is still in progress,” the judge said. “CBI has apprehension that because of his status and his position, the investigation may be hampered by the accused. It’s not a case where the accused can be ‘released’ at the stage of considering his extension of his remand as submitted by the counsel for accused. “Having considered all facts and circumstances
of the case, the nature of offences, stage of investigation, the accused is remanded to judicial custody,” he said. The court allowed him to carry his spectacles, prescribed medicines and providing him with western toilet facility. It also directed that he be kept in a separate cell in Tihar prison as he was a protectee under Zsecurity. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta assured that there will be adequate security for Chidambaram in the jail. The court also issued notice to the Enforcement Directorate on Chidambaram’s plea seeking to surrender in the money laundering case lodged by the agency in which the Supreme Court Thursday dismissed his plea against the August 20 order of the Delhi High Court denying him pre-arrest bail. Chidambaram, 73, was produced before a Delhi court on Thursday after the expiry of his 2-day CBI custody in the case.
Chidambaram lodged in separate cell Former finance minister P Chidambaram, who was brought to Tihar prison Thursday evening, will get no special facilities, except a separate cell and a Western toilet as specified by the court, jail officials said. Like other inmates, he will also have access to the prison’s library and can watch television for a specified period. After the mandatory medical checkup, Chidambaram was lodged in Jail No. 7, which usually houses those accused in Enforcement Directorate cases. Incidentally, his son Karti was also lodged in the same cell for 12 days in the same case last year. Ratul Puri, nephew of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath, who is being probed by the ED in connection
with the AgustaWestland and a bank fraud case, is also lodged in this jail. A jail official said food is usually served to the inmates between 7 and 8 pm but it is kept aside for those who arrive late due to court procedures. The usual dinner menu is rotis, dal, sabji and rice. Chidambaram will be lodged in the cell from 9 pm to 6 am. Breakfast will be served between 7 am and 8 am, the official added. Officials said he can either drink water from a Reverse Osmosis plant or purchase packaged bottle from the canteen. Chidambaram, who was also the home minister during UPA 2, was sent to 14-day judicial custody on Thursday in the INX Media corruption case.

over children their roles and responsibilities were manifold, Toy said it should be incumbent upon all the teachers to give, to project, to teach what was right. He also said teachers that have the responsibility of “Teachers can never be wrong even if they are wrong”. Toy said that teach-
ing was not only about academics, but also about life skills. He said the profession they have chosen would play the most important role for a happy, developed and prosperous Nagaland. He reminded that there were no other professions that could mould and shape so many lives.
In his welcome note, principal director Shanavas C said the department of school education would introduce a child enrolment helpline where any concerned citizens could send information about any child in the state being deprived of school education. In this regard, he informed that the citizen could send details through SMS or WhatsApp at 6009256788.

ILP holders engaging in trade illegal: JCPI SCC song to be played during moon landing DIMAPUR, SEP 5 (NPN): Describing Inner Line Permit (ILP) as only a pass to enter the state for a short or temporary period of time and did not give outsiders the right to engage in commercial activities, the Joint Committee on Prevention of Illegal Immigration (JCPI) Thursday reminded the state government that only indigenous people can live, work and earn in ILP zones and all those ILP holders engaging in trading and commercial activities was illegal. In a press release, JCPI convenor K. Ghokheto Chophy and co-convenor Joel Naga said that the JCPI has demanding implementation of ILP throughout the state since August 2019, but the government was yet
to take bold and decisive steps. Pointing out that Abhishek Committee on ILP has already submitted its report to the government in February 2019, JCPI said the government should “not waste any more time” and start implementing the committee findings. Concerning the standard operation procedure (SOP) on ILP/BEFR, which was along the lines of Mizoram government notification, JCPI suggested that SOP should give more teeth to the government to identify and deport the lakhs of ILP holders (mostly Bangladeshis) inside the ILP zones of the state (hill districts), who have set up commercial activities and taken up residency on permanent basis.
Except for bona fide central and state government servants/PSU employees/ bank officials, tourists on visit, etc., JCPI said all ILP holders–cum–traders should be identified and their valid ILP cancelled and deported from the districts. It stated that the exercise to identify ILP holders in the hill districts, who have misused their passes to engage in commercial transactions and businesses, did not require the RIIN exercise to be completed. Further, the JCPI has asked the government to immediately declare Dimapur as an ILP zone in view of the publication of NRC in Assam. It also demanded the government immediately set up checkpoints at all the entry points along the entire
disputed area belt. Saying it was beginning to suspect that government was being “vindictive in its approach”, the JCPI affirmed that “if the full scope of the Abhishek committee findings is not unleashed for implementation, the stakeholders will be forced to rise to the occasion.” In this regard, JCPI has informed the CSOs and student bodies in all the districts to be ready for any eventuality. Lauding the activities of the student bodies in apprehending ILP defaulters in the hill districts, JCPI, however, stated that the focus should be on checking those with valid ILPs who were engaged in commercial activities and handing them over to the police.

to Wokha and Kohima district respectively under MOVCD-NER subsidy. APC and principal secretary N. Hushili Sema speaking on the occasion, urged the department officials to use the scheme judiciously for cultivators who were tilling the land to meet the demands of the state. She appealed the department officers to be good motivators and help the farmers grow with their knowledge and experience, while observing that the
farmers were still in the primitive stage in tilling lands and way of producing goods. Mentioning that state has huge potential for organic farming, she added that department has to ensure that potentiality was judiciously explored. She hoped that the more farmers will come forward to avail this scheme offered by the department. She further asked them to utilise the subsidy and assistance in a realistic way. Speaking about sub-
sidy, she said that Nagas were ambitious without working and added “we want to enjoy the grant that the government has given to us without utilising it”. She hoped that the new initiative will be blessings not only for the farmers but to the state. Joint director, K. Remphamo Lotha said the MOVCDNER scheme was launched during 201516 with the department of Agriculture as the nodal agency. He said this was the first time, that the department was providing vehicles to the farmers to help them transport the goods to the market place. He added that 50% of the total cost for each vehicle will be covered under the scheme. Director of Agriculture M. Ben Yanthan, chairman of the programme said that the initiative was much needed to the farming community in particular for ginger and large cardamom to transport their goods to the market place. He requested the FPOs to make the best use of the vehicle for the benefit of the cultivators at large.

The NGO was the original petitioner in the Supreme Court, which led to the updation of the NRC six years ago. APW general secretary Dhrubajyoti Talukdar called for a police investigation into how their names were included in the final NRC. “Is there a long-term agenda behind this, which could pose a threat to internal security and sovereignty of the country?” Talukdar said.

Of them, 3,11,21,004 have been included in the document and 19,06,657 excluded, the NRC State Coordinator’s office had said on August 31.

Assam to fast track trial in tea garden doctor’s murder G u wa h ati , S e p 4 (IANS): The Assam Government on Wednesday said that it has decided to fast track the trial into the merciless killing of Deven Dutta, a doctor at the Teok Tea Garden in Jorhat district last week. Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal also said that the state government has also instituted an inquiry in this regard. He said Commissioner and Finance Secretary Shyam Jagannathan had been asked to carry out the inquiry regarding the killing. Chief Minister Sonowal also had a telephonic conversation with the widow of slain doctor and assured that strict action will be initiated against those who took law in their hands. Meanwhile, a delegation of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) visited Datta’s house on Wednesday and slammed the role of the Chief Minister and Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for failing to come out with a statement regarding the brutal killing of the doctor on duty.

Guwahati, Sep 5 (PTI): Two FIRs have been lodged against Assam Coordinator of National Register of Citizens (NRC), Prateek Hajela, for “discrepancies” in the final updated list, police said on Thursday. A third complaint was filed by an NGO against three Bangladesh nationals declared as foreigners, who figure in the final NRC, and against the NRC authorities of Morigaon district, who were allegedly responsible for including their names. A lawyer and indigenous Muslim students organisation -- All Assam Goriya-Moriya Yuva Chatra Parishad (AAGMYCP) -filed separate FIRs against Hajela in Dibrugarh and Guwahati, police said. Chandan Mazumdar, whose name does not figure in the final NRC list, filed the complaint against Hajela at Dibrugarh police station on Wednesday, police said. Mazumdar alleged that he had submitted all documents, but his name was not included in the updated NRC due to “inefficiency and criminal conspiracy of
Prateek Hajela (File) employees”. The FIR held Hajela responsible for “discrepancies”, as he was tasked with supervising the NRC updation exercise in Assam. Another complaint was lodged against the state coordinator at Guwahati’s Latasil police station on Tuesday by the AAGMYCP, claiming “deliberate” anomalies in the final list. “The names of many indigenous people were excluded from the list, and it was done deliberately by the NRC state coordinator,” the FIR filed by the students organisation said. The police, however, is yet to register a case based on this FIR. Hajela was not available for comments, as he has

Mnp student death case: father asks Meghalaya CM accused of govt to release arrested JAC members illegal transportation of coal
GUWAHATI, SEP 5 (PTI): A woman author, who allegedly suggested in a Facebook post that those left out of the National Register of Citizens, be put in detention camps after being sterlised, has been booked by Kerala Police. A case was registered against her under Section 153 of the Indian Penal Code for promoting enmity between religions and spreading hatred through social media, police said. “We got a complaint, saying a post put up by one Indira on Facebook promotes enmity between religion and was spreading hatred through social media. We have started a probe,” an investigating officer told PTI. The widely-shared screenshot of the Facebook post, allegedly by Indira, suggests that all those who were left out of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) be put in a detention camp after being sterilised. When some Facebook account holders countered her argument, she allegedly replied that contraceptive drugs must be mixed in drinking water for a particular community in order to control birth among them. Her post has since been deleted from Facebook.

IMPHAL, Sep 5: “Release JAC members and instead arrest us and keep us lodged in jail,” father of teenaged-girl student who was found hanging death in controversial circumstance in her hostel dormitory, N Tomchou pleaded the Manipur government. Taking to reporters at his residence in Imphal’s Thangmeiband on Thursday, Tomchou said that he was extremely dissatisfied with the state government and its police department. “In such condition, we have lost our hope of getting justice for our daughter,” he said while saying that they have no more trust with the present government. He urged the police to stop searching for the JAC members and to release arrested JAC members who were currently in judicial custody and take him and his spouse to jail. “We are ready to court arrest if government release the JAC members,” he said. Police in its crackdown against the members of ‘JAC against Killing of N Babysana Chanu,’ had so far arrested 17 members including its convenor and co-convenor and they are currently in the judicial
Deb becomes teacher for a day; interacts with students in Agartala
AG A RTA L A , S EP 5 (AGENCIES): On the occasion of Teachers’ Day on Thursday, Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb donned the teacher’s hat for a day, reports Northeast Now news. Interacting with the students of Shishu Bihar Higher Secondary School in Agartala, the CM asked them numerous questions. He asked them about changes in the education system after the formation of the BJP-led coalition government in the state. He also informed that pass percentage in the Class 10 examinations this year has increased in comparison to the previous years. Interacting with the media later, the CM spoke at length about his experience of donning the teacher’s hat for the first time. “Introduction of NCERT syllabus, organising the parent-teacher meeting, hike in pass percentage in board exams are some achievements of our govK Y M C
ernment,” CM added. He said that Tripura still has a lot to achieve in matters of achieving quality education and the government is focusing to change it. “We need to focus on quality education. Since 1947, Tripura has produced only two IAS officers,” Deb said.
custody. The father alleged that they were ill-treated in the jail and were even denied access medical care even though the health conditions of some of them who resorted to fasting deteriorated in jail, he added. They (JAC members) were suffering because they were demanding justice for his daughter and not for other reasons, he said. At the same time, Tomchou, who rejected police allegation of him denying giving statement to them, said that he still was ready to give his statement again to the police but in the presence of a magistrate. “If necessary police can record my statement in the presence of the magistrate,” he declared. In the meantime, in a separate meeting with reporters somewhere on the outskirt of Imphal, convenor in-charge of the JAC declared that there was no question of suspension of the ongoing campaign against the government’s delay in finding the truth behind the death of the girl and handing over the case to CBI. The 12-year-old student studied at Class VII was found hanging in her hostel dormitory at Standard Roberth Higher Secondary School, Canchipur on July
18 last in suspicious manner. With suspicion of foul-play, the JAC has been pressing the state government to hand over the case to CBI. “We will not continue our campaign until the state government provide documents as prove of CBI taking over the case,” the coconvenor who was hiding along with other members of the JAC to avoid police arrest said. They requested media persons not to disclose the venue of the news conference which was held after changing the location for three times as police were after them. From a report carried out in a local daily, they came to know that CBI was considering taking over the case on public interest and Kolkata based Special Crime Branch of CBI is likely to handle the case. However, state government has not provided any official statement regarding the matter, the convenor incharge said. If the report is true, why is the state government delaying in providing an official statement? JAC asked, adding that it will continue to stage protest of various forms until the government makes an official statement by providing relevant documents as proof, the co-convener added.

Mizoram govt orders strengthening of entry checkpoints into state Conrad Sangma S h illong , S e p 5 (IANS): Leader of Opposition in Meghalaya Assembly, Mukul Sangma on Wednesday accused Chief Minister Conrad Sangma of “involving” in illegal transportation of coal in the state. Alleging that the government machineries are being used to facilitate the illegal transportation of coal, the former Chief Minister told journalists: “The kind of modus operandi that is in operation today under the direct command of the Chief Minister and his other people who are partners in crime is going to create a dangerous situation in the state in the years to come.” The Congress legislator alleged that the ruling National People’s Party (NPP)-led government has been engaged in changing the inventory of the stock
of mined coal in the state and misinformed the Supreme Court to get certain kind of leverage for further transportation of coal which does not exist. “This exercise is under the patronage of the Chief Minister,” he further alleged. The Opposition leader said he will take up the issue with the National Green Tribunal (NGT), and the NGT-appointed committee, and ask them to verify all those claims which have been placed as part of the inventory. “There is no dearth of means to get the correct information. Without loss of time, this has to be verified. Otherwise, the whole issue of existence of any tribunal or authorities to regulate the errant behaviour of people engaging in illegal mining will be a mockery of the existing law,” Mukul Sangma said.

India won’t balk at using force: Rajnath NEW DELHI, SEP 5 (PTI): India has never been an aggressor but that does not mean it would balk at using its strength to defend itself, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Thursday. His comments at a defence dialogue in Seoul came in the backdrop of spiralling tension between India and Pakistan over the Kashmir issue. “India has never been an aggressor in its history nor will it ever be. But that does not mean that India would balk at using its strength to defend itself,” Singh said, in presence of South Korea’s top military brass. The defence minister arrived in Seoul on Wednesday on a three-day visit. He posted a series of tweets from his handle. “Defence diplomacy is a key pillar of India’s strategic toolkit. In fact, defence diplomacy and maintaining strong defence forces are two sides of the same coin. They go hand in hand,” he said. In his address, attended by top military brass of South Korea and top executives of that country’s defence firms, Singh also spoke about the need for common rules-based order in the resource-rich IndoPacific region. He said the “order”
Rajnath Singh delivers a speech in Seoul, South Korea, Thursday. (PTI) must be based on sovereignty and territorial integrity and equality of all nations, irrespective of size and strength, adding India is for an open and inclusive architecture for the region. China has been expanding its military presence in the Indo-Pacific , triggering concerns in various countries of the region. The US has been pushing for a bigger role for India in the Indo-Pacific which is seen by many countries as an effort to contain China’s growing clout in the region. In November 2017, India, the US, Australia and Japan gave shape to the long-pending “Quad”
Coalition to develop a new strategy to keep the critical sea routes in the Indo-Pacific free of any influence. “Our quest for common prosperity and security requires us to evolve a common rules-based order for our region, the Indo-Pacific region,” he said. “We must provide to all nations the right of equal access to the use of common spaces on sea and in the air,” he said. Singh said India is for an open and inclusive architecture for the Indo-Pacific region, with ASEAN centrality and equal access to the global commons. “If we work together on the basis of the five
principles that have characterised Indian thought and policies for centuries – the principles of Samman (respect), Samvad (dialogue), Sahayog (cooperation), Shanti (peace) and Samriddhi (prosperity), our success is assured,” he said. Talking about India’s ‘neighbourhood first policy’, he said New Delhi is engaged with its neighbours in sub-regional groupings of IORA (Indian-Ocean Rim Association) and BIMSTEC apart from a trilateral maritime cooperation format with Sri Lanka and Maldives. The IORA is a grouping of countries around the Indian Ocean while Bay BIMSTEC (Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation) is a bloc of seven nations of South Asia and South East Asia. The defence minister also spoke about ancient cultural links between India and South Korea. “Our people are linked through family ties that can be traced to the legendary Queen Heo Hwang-ok, who travelled all the way from Ayodhya to marry King Suro of Gaya in present day Gimhae. These linkages form a strong underpinning for our contemporary ties,” he said.

Nation building requires coordination: Prez
Batala firecracker factory illegal, says police; victims’ families demand action
NEW DELHI SEP 5 (PTI): President Ram Nath Kovind on Thursday said that there is a need for coordination between artificial intelligence and human compassion for nation building. Mr. Kovind was speaking at an event here to confer national awards to teachers on the occasion of Teachers Day. “We have abundance of knowledge and then we have good values but in the era of globalisation and competition, we need to have a coordination between artificial intelligence and human compassion, a balance between digital levelling and character building for nation building as it will not only make us knowledgable individuals but better human beings,” the President said. For ty-six teachers, shortlisted by the Union Human Resource Development Ministry from across the country, were conferred the award. The awards are given to teachers to acknowledge their contribution and honour their commitment to better quality of school education and enriching the lives of students. The selection procedure had an online self nomination process followed by a three-tier process at the district, state and national level.
BATALA (PUNJAB), SEP 5 (PTI): Tempers ran high at the government hospital here over the deadly blast at a firecracker factory, which the police Thursday said operated illegally. Twenty-three people were killed and several others injured in the Wednesday afternoon explosion at the factory set amid homes and shops in Gurdaspur district’s Batala. “ T h e f a c t o r y wa s working illegally. I didn’t come to know about it earlier. Otherwise it would have been closed down,” Batala Senior Superintendent of Police Opinderjit Singh told the media. “Now we are checking the licences of all factories in Batala city,” he said. At the civil hospital, some slogan-shouting relatives demanded action against senior officials for failing to shut down the factory despite repeated complaints from the residents of Guru Ram Das Colony on Jalandhar Road. “What inquiry will the government conduct now?” a protester said. “A case of murder should be registered against the top officials for allowing the factory to run illegally.” The Punjab government has ordered a magisterial
inquiry into the blast that brought down the factory that was split into four units by its owners, blew the roofs off some adjacent buildings and damaged vehicles parked nearby. Local residents said the explosion was heard kilometres away. They said a blast at the same factory in January 2017 killed a worker and injured three others. They claimed several complaints were submitted to the administration in the past seeking the closure of the factory. The victims in Wednesday’s explosion included factory workers, members of the owners’ families and some passersby, officials said. On Thursday, the police said apart from the 23 dead, there were 18 injured in the blast. Seven severely injured were referred to the Amritsar medical college. Local residents said after the original factory owner Satnam Singh’s death, it was split into four units run by his sons Jaspal Singh, Paramjit Singh, Harbhajan Singh and Ravil Singh. Satnam Singh had a permit to run the factory. This was not renewed after his death by the administration, police said.
Pak moves over 2,000 troops close to LoC; Indian Army watching closely Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) have started recruiting locals and Afghans in a big way. It added that the troops moved by the Pakistan Army are close to a brigade-size and their numbers would be more than 2000. The Pakistan Army has moved troops closer to the LoC at
a time when Islamabad has been trying to fuel terrorism in the Valley. It has also been attempting to draw international attention and intervention by terming the prevailing situation between the two countries as very tense. Since the abrogation of Article 370 which granted special status to Jammu
and Kashmir, Pakistan deployed more than 100 SSG commandos along the LoC to push terrorists and incite violence in the state. In the retaliatory fire, more than 10 SSG commandos have been killed by the Indian security forces.
Pakistan has also deployed its Special Forces along the Sir Creek area opposite Gujarat. Sources said that Pakistani agencies are also in the process of recruiting Afghan terrorists to carry out action against Indian security forces. Afghans are

NEW DELHI, SEP 5 (AGENCIES): Amid tensions over the Kashmir issue, Pakistan has moved almost a brigade-size force in the Bagh and Kotli sector close to the Line of Control (LoC) in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The troops who have been moved are from a peace location and for now have been stationed around 30 kilometres from the Line of Control, Indian Army sources said here. “At present, they have not been deployed in offensive posturing. However, the Indian Army is closely watching their movements,” the sources informed. The sources further said that the movement of the Pakistan Army troops has come at a time when it has already activated its terrorist infrastructure and the terrorist organisations
The production unitscum-shops were in the front and the families lived at the back, according to Baljit Singh, who knows the owners. He said the owners stocked raw material in large quantities ahead of festivals like Dussehra, Gurpurab and Diwali, and the firecrackers were delivered not only in Punjab but in Himachal Pradesh too. After the 2017 blast, the owners had agreed to shift the factory elsewhere and only maintain their offices in the busy locality that also houses a gurdwara, a temple and a private school, local residents said. But just a few months later, firecrackers were being manufactured again at the same location, they said. Batala Bar Association president Raghubir Singh Sandhu, who stays in the same locality, said no action was taken on his complaints. “Along with other residents of locality, I requested the administration after the 2017 incident to shift this firecracker factory outside the city. But all in vain,” he said. Gurdaspur Deputy Commissioner Vipul Ujwal said 19 bodies have been identified so far.

Journey of peace
s Nagaland observes Peace Day on September 6, it would be worthwhile to reminisce on how it came to being . After years of violence throughout the erstwhile Naga hills during the fifties, when villages were grouped and people placed behind barricades; the inhuman suffering of the people was indescribable . In order to save the innocent people from such tragedies that went unmentioned in the national media, Baptist Church leaders led by Rev. Longri and Rev.Kenneth Kerhuo decided to urge the battling sides to give peace a chance. At the third Baptist Convention in Wokha town from January 31 to February 2 1964, the Baptist Church resolved to play the role of peacemakers under the leadership of Rev.Longri Ao and Kenneth Kerhuo. During the three-day convention, more than five thousand Nagas attended the convention where it was resolved to propose "Peace talk". The church leaders requested the government to provide services of Jayaprakash Narayan, National leader; Bimala Prasad Chaliha, Chief Minister of Assam and Michael Scott, an Anglican churchman, for exploring ways for speedy restoration of peace in Nagaland. Thus the Nagaland Peace Mission was formed and its tireless efforts and at times under dangerous situations, it succeeded in having both the warring sides in signing the first on September 6,1964. The Ceasefire agreement signed by Vishnu Sahey, Governor of Nagaland on behalf of the Government of India, while Zashei Huire, Biseto Medom, and L. Zhenito signed on behalf of the NNC/FGN . Although, the Ceasefire was officially declared on 6 September 1964, it was signed on 23 May 1964. On September 6,1964 church bells rang to herald peace while people rejoiced. The ceasefire led to intense negotiations between the government of India under prime minister Indira Gandhi and the FGN led by its ato kilonser Kughato Sukhai. After six rounds of inconclusive negotiations, starting from February 1966 talks finally broke down on October 3,1967. Eventually the Peace Mission was disbanded in 1972 after the government of India unilaterally abrogated the cease fire and signalling the return of the dark period of violence. However, the church under Rev.Longri continued to pursue peace and this led to formation of the Nagaland Peace Council in 1974. September 5, Peace Day as it is, may be a misnomer, if viewed from subsequent developments through the decades where fighting became more intensified and violence unleashed on society and mostly after fragmentation of the NNC into several factions. However, the end of the peace process in 1972 did not mean that hopes also ended. The hopes of the Baptist Church leaders like Rev. Longri, Rev. Kerhuo and many others did not end then but people still hoped and prayed for eventual peace for decades. The second cease fire signed on July 25,1997 between the government of India and NSCN(I-M) renewed hopes for peace and this is expected to fructify after around 22 years and over 80 rounds of negotiations. The signing of the Framework Agreement on August 3,2015 between NSCN(I-M) leader Th.Muivah and the government of India’s Interlocutor R.N.Ravi gave fresh impetus to hopes for solution. To complement the peaceful solution, cease fire agreements were also signed between Delhi and NSCN/ GPRN; NSCN(NK), NSCN(R). The three along with other groups –Working Committee- are also in talks for solution. These highlighted the nearing of the journey of hope and peace in Nagaland.
DailyDevotion Watching With Jesus
Stay here and watch with Me. —Matthew 26:38 “Watch with Me.” Jesus was saying, in effect, “Watch with no private point of view at all, but watch solely and entirely with Me.” In the early stages of our Christian life, we do not watch with Jesus, we watch for Him. We do not watch with Him through the revealed truth of the Bible even in the circumstances of our own lives. Our Lord is trying to introduce us to identification with Himself through a particular “Gethsemane” experience of our own. But we refuse to go, saying, “No, Lord, I can’t see the meaning of this, and besides, it’s very painful.” And how can we possibly watch with Someone who is so incomprehensible? How are we going to understand Jesus sufficiently to watch with Him in His Gethsemane, when we don’t even know why He is suffering? We don’t know how to watch with Him— we are only used to the idea of Jesus watching with us. The disciples loved Jesus Christ to the limit of their natural capacity, but they did not fully understand His purpose. In the Garden of Gethsemane they slept as a result of their own sorrow, and at the end of three years of the closest and most intimate relationship of their lives they “all…forsook Him and fled” (Matthew 26:56). “They were all filled with the Holy Spirit…” (Acts 2:4). “They” refers to the same people, but something wonderful has happened between these two events— our Lord’s death, resurrection, and ascension— and the disciples have now been invaded and “filled with the Holy Spirit.” Our Lord had said, “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you…” (Acts 1:8). This meant that they learned to watch with Him the rest of their lives.

I
What had happened at Shinar?
seldom read my Bible and being a mere layman when I read it I have more tendencies to either fail to understand or misunderstand the implication of any verse or both. Yet, I followed the story of how the people in Shinar plain decided to build a huge tower called Babel and how the project faced the miserable flop as read in the 11th Chapter of the Genesis in the Bible. It is found that the Shinar plain was in Babylon. This story is familiar with every Christian as it is a very popular episode as we often like to quote it. The Babel tower is the specimen of the failure of any attempt on any individual or collective drawn project. As I read the story, I am made to understand the two major reasons that led the tower project to dismal failure. Firstly, in Genesis 1:28 “God blessed them and said to them, ‘Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it......”. What I understand it here is that God created Adam and Eve and blessed them to become populous. The offspring of Adam and Eve and their descendants then must scatter to fill the earth as the proprietor of all what was created by God. Whereas, the second decision of the people at Shinar as found in the Genesis 11: 4“......and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth” is a complete contrary to Genesis 1:28 as above. The natural resources in the Shinar plain were not the only limited resources for the people to own and enjoy it. The earth was fully filled with similar resources at Shinar for the people, and therefore the scattering of the population across the globe was a matter of fulfilling the purpose of the creation of the resources for the people on earth by God. Therefore, the idea of building a mega tower intended to attract the total populace to be the residents of it so as to pre-empt migration to other areas displeased God. The first decision in Genesis 11:4 “Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves.....” This decision was the first major mistake of the people in Shinar. The very purpose of the final creation of man is to let man live and glorify
N
the Creator God in whatever man does. Whereas, the grievous mistake of the people in Shinar was to build a city with a very tall tower that reaches to the heavens for the purpose of glorifying the builders. The decision to “make a name for ourselves” was a total disregard to the Creator as they placed themselves above the Maker. The decision was boastful, sinful, arrogant and provocative. The decision to ‘make a name for ourselves” was not of accidental but of incidental as it was a wilful act and therefore it was a sin. The godless nature of the people in Shinar displeased God. The blunder committed by the people in Shinar attracted the attention of God. God would have destroyed the people in Shinar just as He drowned the total population barring 8 lives during Noah’s time. Yet, despite the provocation, God had compassion on His people and He did not destroy them. The only reaction of God is found in Genesis 11:7 “Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.” Aftermath the visit of God to His people in Shinar, the people could no more speak one language which they had earlier. The language of a group of people was foreign to the other groups and the people could not understand each other. There were full of communication gaps amongst the linguistic groups of people in a plain. Perhaps, the relatives became strangers suddenly and the bosom friends get separated instantly as the two could not converse. I can image the magnitude of chaos among the people in Shinar at that time as to how some may be crying and some may be laughing at the haywire scenario. I can also imagine how disappointing and frustrating was the situation particularly to the reign leaders who were responsible for all the decisions taken for the mega project. It is therefore understood from the reading of Genesis 11 that it was neither for shortage of food nor water nor was it because of excessive rain and flood in the plain nor because of the shortage of building raw materials nor because of shortage of manpower nor because
of the architectural designing error that the Babel tower faced a damp squib. Genesis 11:6 ‘The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.” Had the people in Shinar decided to build the tallest tower to glorify God, the project would have been completed as observed by God that “.....nothing....will be impossible for them.” The moral lesson I learnt from the story is that the selfishness, the arrogance, the egoism and the lack of fear of God were the reasons for the failure of the tower construction. I also learnt that arrogance begets separation. Now, look at the prevailing situation in the Naga world. The present day Naga society is the exact replica of the total scenario in Shinar. In our case, the Nagas are in the Shinar hills. The Nagas in the Shinar hills have been in total chaos during the last 4 decades. Each NNPG adopted the Shinar resolution to “make a name” for its group, each NGO had passed similar resolution to “make a name” for its organisation, each tribal Hoho had taken the same resolution to “make a name” for our tribe, each political party adopted such resolution to “make a name” for our party and each region had such resolution to “make a name” for our range/area. In respect of NNPGs, the supremacy of its group is paramount and such aspiration of group-ism stands atop the common Naga interest. No community apart from Naga community, I believe, had ever talked about that much quantum of reconciliation and unity as the Nagas have been talking about it without putting it into practice. I am sure the people in Shinar had genuine desire to understand each other should there be communication feasibility with the people. Yet, due to their disobedience, the linguistic divisions were sealed and the damage to the communicability was made irreparable by God. Whereas, the scenario in the Shinar hills is worse than that of the Shinar plain. The Nagas in Shinar hills have all the communicable facilities at our disposal and unlike the people in Shinar plain as
the Naga communication gaps are not sealed either by God or by any nonNaga. Nevertheless, the Nagas are determined and have become so resolute to preserve the local made communication gaps. It was proved that no power on earth can bridge the Naga communication gaps when a section of the Nagas rejected the mediation by people from America (the most powerful nation on earth) in 1997. While the Nagas are in the midst of its indigenous chaos, the Interlocutor divulged to the Nagas about the time schedule of 3 months within which the Naga political issue has to be resolved. The divulgence was a hot news for the Nagas although it was not publicly announced instantly. Following the spread of the news, one can observe how the flurries of political and social activities have suddenly sprung up in the Shinar hills. Firstly, during the last three day session of Nagaland Legislative Assembly from 6-8 August, 2019, some members reiterated the Naga integration issue. Whereas, in the backdrop of the GOI making it already clear to the Nagas that the Naga sovereignty and the Naga integration issues will remain non-negotiable in the context of the ongoing political negotiations and to which the Naga negotiators have agreed, how relevant is for the MLAs to reiterate the issue like chewing cud. How does such debate benefit the Nagas at the crucial moment when the Joint Legislature Forum (JLF) had disclosed its decisions in the public domain that it would stand as the facilitator besides urging the negotiators to bring it to logical conclusion? Nonetheless, I believe there are conscientious MLAs who believe in the principle of something better is better than nothing. When the Election Commission of India (ECI) announced that the general election of Nagaland State Assembly would be held during FebruaryMarch, 2018, the Nagas had unanimity including the NNPGs that the Nagas wanted solution and not election. With that demand the Nagas urged upon the ECI to defer the Assembly election to pave the passage for solution first. The BJP
pacified the Nagas at that time that the 2018 Assembly election in Nagaland would be for political solution. Fulfilling that assurance, now the GOI has shown its determination to settle the issue. Whereas, particularly the NSCN (IM)’s latest summons to tribal organisations and Villages to Hebron camp is found perplexing. The fact is that it has had 22 years at its disposal since it entered into negotiation with GOI, and how it failed to complete the necessary consultations with the Nagas in good time and how such emergency meetings were necessitated at the eleventh hour of the time schedule given by GOI. I believe the announcement of the GOI’s time schedule did not surprise the Working Committee and it should not have surprised anyone including NSCN (IM) if one does not make negotiation to be the end of political aspiration. One wonders as to what such summons are aimed at garnering the voices of gullible villages for deferment of solution or for solution on time as scheduled. Meanwhile, the 8 Naga tribes of Nagaland had adopted unanimous resolution ‘to stand firm and united to help bring about early and honourable solution’ on 28.8.19 at Kohima which was duly ‘concurred’ by the 6 tribes of ENPO in its joint meeting on 31.8.19 at Acacia Hotel, Dimapur. The President of ENPO touched the right cord when he said ‘that the other considerations, if any, should in no way hinder the solution’ as published on 1.9.2019 by the local papers. Indeed, this is the right philosophy of the facilitator as the whole responsibility for resolving the issue is left to the negotiators. Whereas, the representation of UNC perhaps submitted to the Prime Minister of India on 30.8.2019 harped on the NSCN (IM)’s agenda on Naga national flag and Naga Constitution stating that solution ‘sans the recognition of Naga national flag and Naga constitution will amount to negating the true spirit of the historic Framework Agreement....’ as published by a local paper on 31.8.2019. Thus, the UNC’s stand for solution is conditional. The other spice added
to the chaos in Shinar hills is those 10 Naga individuals asking the PM of India to appoint ‘a Group of Naga Interlocutors’ for early solution. The Naga negotiators, in their wisdom, preferred direct negotiations with the GOI without relying on the second person, and we found that such arrangement is sound and the process is in progress. It will be wiser for anyone to stay away from trying to unnecessarily meddle in the negotiations when such is uncalled for and can be considered a nuisance. How long shall we remain in Shinar hills? What is considered to be the better answer to our mess? What time is considered to be appropriate to bring the answer? The Nagas cannot afford to miss the coming opportunity once again. The Nagas deserve to live in genuine peace and not the prevailing pseudo peace. The Naga political solution which is possible now is the only answer to our questions. The situation in the Shinar hills will never improve till solution comes. Out of the 3 months fixed by GOI, we have just 2 month within which the solution has to arrive. To pave the way for solution, I believe the following tips are imperative. 1. The Nagas had sufficiently talked about the Naga unity till date. The Nagas will have sufficient opportunities to talk about the Naga unity post solution. Talk about unity and yet anyone attempting to place your unity cart before the horse is nothing less than sabotaging the process of solution. The fact is that in whatever mess of disunity the Nagas are at the moment, such mess is not considered to be the roadblock to the possible solution. 2. The best performance of the facilitator is to have confidence and to trust the Naga negotiators that they are capable of resolving the issues with the GOI on our behalf. 3. One may like to be in the limelight of the negotiations, and yet when the Naga negotiators do not requisition the service of the one, better retrain oneself from becoming over smart and busybody. Excessive number of cooks can spoil the quality of the curry. Z. Lohe
Naga Way of Worshipping God
agas’ perspective of Christianity is quite different from the rest of the world. Of course there are some good Christian among us, but majority of Nagas fall under so called Christians who worship God according to their opinions. We have modified Christianity based on our convenience and in doing so we have forgotten the true principle of Christianity. Majority of the churches in Nagaland are giving more importance to the infrastructural development rather than spiritual lives of the people. It is very sad to say that they have become more like programme and business oriented institutions. But however, prayer homes in Nagaland are doing a great job and I really appreciate them. Many drug addicts and spiritually lost people are being saved through their selfless contributions. The churches of Nagaland must learn from them. Typical Naga Christians are usually good natured, kind and ever ready to help anyone yet they can’t say to backdoor appointments. Ironically, there are some sections of society who accept backdoor appointments as blessing. If you are going for backdoor appointment, just
remember you are far worse than an ordinary thief. Usually thieves steal to earn their livelihood but you are stealing the entire future of someone just for luxuries. Some people think that going to church, being kind, helping others etc. are the only responsibilities of Christians. There are so many govt. servants who donate huge sum to churches yet they don’t do what they are really entrusted to do. They don’t realise that being irresponsible in social lives is also a sin and how their negligence is exploiting the lives of others and how much people are suffering. The most interesting people among the Naga society are the politicians. I really don’t understand their way of worshipping Christ. They are very entertaining characters, they steal money from the poor and donate to different churches and ministries. They could have enjoy the full amount they have stolen from the people instead of wasting them donating to churches because in no way God will accept that thought accepted by churches. It is like poking someone with sharp knife and treating him/ her at the best hospital in the world. My dear leaders, if you
really want to serve God, serve the poor, because God comes to you and me not as king but in the form of the poor. The Christianity in Nagaland has become so diluted and we have become so materialistic. We want to be good Christians yet we are so much in love with money and our love for money has overtaken our Christ. This is the reason why our state has become so corrupted regardless of being a Christian state. We have forgotten the true way of worshipping and honouring God. We have come so far away from Christ. We must stop worshipping the religion and the churches, rather we must worship our true God and stick to His word. Let’s remember that we can’t serve two masters and nothing stands above our God. We believe in God and have faith in Him yet we don’t believe in truth and justice. It is like eating pork chow with no pork in it. We worship the true God and He is the truth, but however, we don’t bother to fight for the truth. I wander what kind of Christians we really are. How can we proclaim ourselves to be Christians when we can’t fight for the truth and justice
that are really needed in our society? We are being deprived of our rights for so many years and all kinds of illegal activities are being done in front of our eyes yet we can’t do anything, why? My dear brethren of Nagaland,
let’s learn to voice out against the wrong doers and let’s try to be a Christians with social and moral responsibilities. Let’s stand up for Christ once and for all. Ngaupu A, M.Sc. Zoology, Nagaland University, Lumami
Reader’s Post Sir,
Poor sanitation
I am writing this letter to express my concern over the issue of poor drainage in our locality during rainy season, which causes much inconvenience to the residents. Garbage blocked the drain system and drain water had over flowing everywhere. The water has covered the wide range and it is difficult for the people to cross the road and the garbage on roads piled up like mountains. Also there is always an odour during rainy season. Garbage fragments have overflowed into the streets. On a daily basis I go to college and I observe the poor condition of cleanliness and dirt on road on top of poor drainage system. The streets are not cleaned daily and there are piles of garbage on each and every corner but it comes under consideration of no one. As the road condition are becoming poor day by day, they don't pay any heed to the deadly diseases born through the garbage and increasing rate of mosquitoes and flies because of the garbage and unstrained water. DMC don't often come to clean and our society does not raise their voice for their own rights and their environmental issues plus our colony lacks in social activities.

Another 2,300 people stranded at various locations in the city, including railway stations, were put in temporary shelters in different parts of the city. The IMD has forecast heavy rains for Mumbai, Thane, Palghar and Raigad districts on Thursday, and people have been advised to keep away from the stormy Arabian Sea, beaches and creeks. After Wednesday’s holiday, Education Minister Ashish Shelar declared a second day of precautionary holiday for all schools and junior colleges in these districts.
Arrest remaining culprits involved in Aug 16 killing: YSU DIMAPUR: Yemishe Students’ Union (YSU) has called upon the law enforcing agency to arrest the remaining culprits involved in the killing of Toishe Yeptho on August 16. In a statement, YSU president, Tohuka Yepthomi and general secretary, Swuka P Assumi while lauding the efforts of Dimapur police for nabbing the culprits involved in the killing have appealed to the law enforcing agency to ensure that the criminals were not allowed to go scotfree under any circumstance but initiate stringent action them. It stated that the culprits should be awarded not less than life imprisonment to set an example to those harbouring crime. YSU said it was trying to restrain and refrain from any untoward backlash out of the issue, but cautioned that it will be forced to take any unrelenting steps if justice is delayed and for which it will not be held responsible. However, the union stated that it has faith in judiciary system and that police department will arrest the remaining culprits at the earliest.

Naga Hoho appeals for unity (From p-1) NH also appreciated and acknowledged the August 14, 2019 statement of GPRN/NSCN Ato Kilonser & Convenor of WC, NNPGs, N.Kitovi Zhimomi, that “I include Naga Lands, Naga sons and daughters in the present states of Manipur, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. The solution at hand is not just for the Nagas of Nagaland state alone. There will be clear and lucid political arrangements and governance of our people beyond the artificial bound-
ary. By this, I put to rest all baseless rumors of WC, NNPGs limiting itself to Nagas of Nagaland state”. Stating that peace process was at its crucial stage, NH said that while the final solution was awaited the Nagas cannot afford to miss another bus. NH said that Naga negotiators, both the NSCN/GPRN and the 7 NNPGs Working Group, in spite of all odds and hurdles, have been ceaselessly working to bring it to a logical conclusion. In this regard, NH ex-
pressed belief that Naga negotiators would not fail the people, adding that the Naga people must therefore stand together and strengthen the hands of the negotiators. “The Naga people cannot afford to miss the opportunity that is in our reach today because of our divisions and differences. In order to realize our dreams and hopes, it is our bounden duty to let go our personnel interests, pride and ego and march together in unison and forge a strong united voice,” NH underlined.

SC directs shifting of Tarigami to AIIMS 19 more telephone exchanges restored in Kashmir Valley
NSCN (K) warns ...
NEW DELHI, SEP 5 (PTI): The Supreme Court on Thursday ordered that ailing CPI(M) leader Mohd Yusuf Tarigami be shifted from Srinagar, where he is under detention at his home, to AIIMS in Delhi without any delay. A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and also comprising Justices S A Bobde and S A Nazeer said the shifting will be done following consultations between doctors at Srinagar’s Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences and the All India Institute of Medical Sciences. The bench also issued notice to the Centre and the Jammu and Kashmir administration on CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury’s plea that

there was no common order for Tarigami’s detention. The bench sought a reply within one week and posted the matter for further hearing on September 16. Yechury told the bench he has no objection if Tarigami, a former CPI(M) MLA, was shifted to AIIMS
for better treatment. “We want to reserve our right to challenge the detention of the former MLA in habeas corpus (bring the person) plea,” Yechury told the apex court. The top court had earlier allowed Yechury to visit Jammu and Kashmir to meet his ailing party colleague and file an affidavit on his health condition. Besides mentioning Tarigami’s health condition in the affidavit, Yechury also referred to other issues that have arisen in Jammu and Kashmir after the abrogation of Article 370. The court said all issues will be heard on September 16 after getting responses from the Centre and the Jammu and Kashmir administration.

SRINAGAR, SEP 4 (PTI): Authorities in Kashmir have restored 19 more telephone exchanges, a month after telephone services were snapped following abrogation of provisions of Article 370, officials said on Thursday. Landline telephone connections started working in commercial hub of Lal Chowk and press colony in the early hours of Thursday, the officials said. They said 19 telephone exchanges have been restored. There are around 100 telephone exchanges in Kashmir Valley. The officials said no decision has been yet taken on restoration of mobile telephone and Internet services on all platforms. Meanwhile, there was more movement

across the valley today, officials said. A large number of private vehicles could be seen plying in many parts of the city while some vendors also plied their trade. The efforts of the state government to open schools have not
borne any fruit as parents continued to keep children at home due to apprehensions about their safety. Government offices are open but attendance in many offices was thin due to lack of public transport, the officials said adding offices at district headquarters registered normal attendance. Restrictions under section 144 CrPC, which were imposed last month, have been eased in most parts of Kashmir but there were no signs of end to the deadlock. Restrictions continued in old city areas where security personnel have been deployed in strength to maintain law and order in view of a youth succumbing to injuries at a hospital here on Wednesday.
(From p-1) It also cautioned that those people protecting the interests of such people would be held responsible for any unfortunate incidents that could arise. Meanwhile, NSCN (K) has also sent a message to “all groups of National workers that despite our differences, it’s time to unite together before it’s too late as the sole interest of these illegal immigrants is to capture our markets, our economy and change our demography, lest we become a minority in our own land like in the Indian occupied states of Assam and Tripura.” NSCN (K) remarked that “we should fight this evil together as we continue our struggle for self determination from the occupational forces.”

“I will follow it up with the finance minister. The sector needs help right now to increase vehicle sales,” Gadkari said. The minister said, like the way GST on electric vehicles has been reduced to 5 per cent from 12 per cent, he would propose to the finance ministry to extend the same benefit to hybrids vehicles. “We have reduced GST in electric vehicles. Now I am trying that GST on hybrid vehicles is also reduced. I am following up regarding this with the finance minister,” Gadkari said. Gadkari, who had in 2017 stated the auto indus-
try would be “bulldozed” if they didn’t push for electric vehicles, also struck a reconciliatory note saying that the government has no intention to ban petrol and diesel vehicles. “There have been talks that government is planning to ban petrol and diesel vehicles. I want to make it clear that the government has no such plan. We are not going to do anything like that,” he said. He also said he would take up a discussion with the finance minister for extending possible export incentives on automobile makers, as has been done for the sugar industry. On award of road contracts, Gadkari said, in the next three months, “we are trying to... award road contracts worth Rs 5 lakh crore. We have selected 68 projects including various expressways... we have already acquired 80 per cent of land for these projects... this would help indirectly the auto industry”.

Mumbai, Sep 5 (PTI): The rupee settled for the day with gains of 28 paise at 71.84 against the US dollar on Thursday as investor sentiment revived after China and the United States said they will resume trade talks. The Indian currency has appreciated by 55 paise in the past two sessions. At the interbank foreign exchange market, the local unit opened on a strong note at 71.87 and finally closed at 71.84, higher by 28 paise over its previous close. During the day, the
domestic unit shuttled between a high of 71.79 and low of 71.98 during the day. The rupee had settled at 72.12 against the US dollar on Wednesday. “India’s rupee rises for the second day as risk on sentiments drove global equities higher after China and US said they would resume trade talks in October. Rupee is expected to follow movement of Chinese currency as it has been doing since August month,” said V K Sharma, Head PCG & Capital Markets Strategy, HDFC Securities. Sharma further noted that spot USD/INR is having support at 71.40 and resistance for the same seen at 72.25 in the near term. Forex traders said the Indian currency gained following weakness in the US dollar. The dollar index, which gauges the greenback’s strength against a basket of six currencies, slipped 0.30 per cent to 98.15. Market participants, however, said weak domestic equity market, sustained foreign fund outflows and rising crude prices weighed on local currency.

New Delhi, Sep 5 (IANS): Crisil Research on Wednesday said it has revised downwards its India GDP growth forecast for fiscal 2020 to 6.3 per cent from an earlier estimated rate of 6.9 per cent. Just a week back, a plunge in domestic private consumption demand, slump in manufacturing, halving of merchandise exports growth, and a high-base effect from last year gnawed away at first-quarter growth which came in at 5 per cent. Fiscal 2020’s first quarter GDP growth at 5 per cent was the slowest in 25 quarters. “Nevertheless, given the twin trouble of slack private consumption and manufacturing in the quarter, we believe the remaining quarters are unlikely to over reach to take the full year number to our earlier forecast of 6.9 per cent,” the firm said. According to the firm, the 6.3 per cent GDP growth rate is under the assumption that the second quarter will see some mild pick-up in growth, which continues through the year. “We expect growth to get some lift from the low base effect that will now set in (second half fiscal 2019 GDP growth was at 6.2 per cent),” the firm said. “An easing monetary policy, improved transmission of rate cuts, and the government’s minimum income support scheme to farmers would also feed into consumption. The recently announced steps by the Finance Minister will also address some pain points and support sentiment.”

New Delhi, Sep 5 (PTI): Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Thursday assured the crisis-hit automobile industry of all possible support from the government, including taking up the demand of GST reduction with finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman. Reiterating that the government would help the industry, the road transport and highways minister also said his ministry would give out 68 road projects worth up to Rs 5 lakh crore in the next three months to help generate demand for commercial vehicles. With the impending price increase of vehicles and the upcoming of BS VI norms deadline, “it is your (industry’s) demand that there should be reduction in tax of petrol and diesel vehicles. Your suggestions are good. I will take your message to the finance minister,” Gadkari said at annual SIAM convention here. Even if it (GST) is reduced for some time, it will help, he added.

However, the global positive cues failed to sustain momentum by noon as domestic sentiments turned pessimistic following a cut in GDP growth estimates by Crisil, he said, adding that the market seemed lacking direction by end of day’s trade as it awaits some more policy announcements from the government. Stating that the slowdown as deeper and more broad-based than suspected, domestic rating agency Crisil on Wednesday cut its GDP forecast for FY20 to 6.3 per cent from 6.9 per cent earlier.

Nearly 300 arrested in connection Modi takes up Zakir Naik issue with Malaysian PM with Easter attacks in Sri Lanka
Vladivostok (Russia), Sep 5 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday here took up with his Malaysian counterpart Mahathir Mohamad the issue of extradition of controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik, who is a fugitive in India and has taken shelter in Malaysia. Modi took up the matter with Mohamad during their bilateral meeting here on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum, Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale told media persons while briefing on the meeting. It was decided that officials of the two countries will be in touch, he said, while responding to a question on the issue in the context of India’s request to Malaysia for Naik’s extradition. Though Gokhale did not elaborate, sources told IANS that the Malaysian

Prime Minister responded positively after Modi raised the issue. Since such matters are not dealt with at the leadership level, the officials of the two countries will discuss how Naik can be brought back to India at the earliest to face law of the land, they explained. Naik is wanted in India for serious charges related to terrorism after his name cropped in connection with a ghastly terror attack at Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka in July
Pact on Amazon region conservation to be signed
Bogota, Sep 5 (IANS): The Amazonian countries will sign a pact for the conservation of the Amazon region at the presidential summit to be held next Friday in the Colombian city of Leticia, officials said. “From this presidential summit will be issued a declaration containing the Leticia Pact for the Amazon,” Efe news quoted Colombian Foreign Minister Carlos Holmes Trujillo as saying on Wednesday. According to him, the declaration “will contain concrete actions” to preserve the Amazon, and will include “an itinerary of activities” in which not only the Amazonian countries but other nations of the region and the international community will participate. “The reason for this call is related to the importance of the Amazon, not only for the Amazon countries and for the region, but for the entire world,” Trujillo said. He said the summit’s aim is to advance the coordination of actions
for the conservation and preservation of the Amazon in which vast fires have been raging for weeks. The meeting in Leticia will be attended by presidents Lenin Moreno of Ecuador, Martin Vizcarra of Peru and the host, Ivan Duque, the foreign minister added. Bolivian President Evo Morales and Suriname Vice President Michael Ashwin Adhin have also confirmed their attendance, he said. These five countries, along with Venezuela and Guyana, are part of the Amazon basin. Trujillo also said that Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro will not attend the meeting as he has to undergo a surgery on Sunday, but he will participate via video conference and send a delegation headed by Foreign Minister Ernesto Araujo. Colombian Environment Minister Ricardo Lozano said conservation and protection of natural resources is a priority of their government.
China didn’t influence bill withdrawal: HK leader
Hong Kong, Sep 5 (IANS): Hong Kongs beleaguered leader said on Thursday that Beijing played no role in her surprise decision to withdraw a contentious extradition bill, but that the Chinese authorities had given her “respect” and “support”. At a press briefing, Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam said Beijing had “respected my view”, “supported me all the way” and respected the “one country, two systems” formula as she dealt with the extradition bill issue, which has plunged Hong Kong into an unprecedented political crisis. On Wednesday, Lam announced through a video statement the formal withdrawal of the bill, together with three other new measures to deal with the crisis, in order to “fully allay public concerns”. Lam on Thursday added that the withdrawal of the bill did not mean “a change of mind”. “This formal withdrawal of the bill… doesn’t make a difference in substance because there has been no plan whatsoever… to resume the bill. “Despite (not) being different in substance, this is going to be a useful measure for creating that basis for a dialog, and yesterday was the best time to do it. There should be no further speculation about why we are doing it,” she added. For weeks Lam had
Carrie Lam
repeatedly maintained that the bill was already “dead” and refused to initiate an independent inquiry into the police, one of the key demands of protesters. The other demands include the formal withdrawal of the bill. The four measures Lam unveiled on Wednesday included starting dialogue between top officials and residents, and inviting overseas experts and two local figures to join an existing police complaints council to probe alleged police misconduct. The unexpected move came more than 11 weeks after the Hong Kong Chief Executive announced the “suspension” of the bill on June 15, and eight weeks after she announced it was “dead” on July 9. These two announcements failed to mollify antigovernment protesters, who feared the bill could be reintroduced later. The proposal would have allowed fugitives in Hong Kong to be extradited to mainland China to stand trials in courts controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.
2016. The Mumbai-born 53year-old founder of the controversial ‘Peace TV’ has been living in Malaysia since 2017 after fleeing from India and the previous government there had granted permanent residency to him. The current Malaysian government has so far not decided on sending him back to India but has barred him from delivering his public speeches. His activities are un-
der constant monitoring of the Malaysian authorities. He recently made some racial comments, after which Malaysia’s Home Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said that no one is above the country’s law, “much less a permanent resident” even if he is Zakir Naik. Naik is also facing an inquiry set up by the government of Mahathir Mohamad, who had initially said he could not accept calls to deport the preacher to India as he would be “killed” there. Gokhale said the issue of terrorism also figured in the talks between Modi and Mohamad. He said the Malaysian Prime Minister unequivocally condemned terrorism in all forms and stated that his country was against the menace. The two leaders discussed ways to “cope” with the growing menace of terrorism, the Foreign Secretary said.
Developments related to Jammu and Kashmir were also discussed and Modi explained the “rationale” behind the reorganisation of the state aimed at “effective governance and delivery of social justice”, Gokhale said. He said more focus in the context of Jammu and Kashmir was on terrorism emanating from Pakistan. The two Prime Ministers also discussed the issue of trade imbalance in favour of Malaysia and Mohamad promised to address it, including by increasing imports from India. Describing the meeting between the two Prime Ministers as very cordial, the Foreign Secretary said Modi told Mohamad that he looked forward to working with him for enhancing the bilateral ties. The 94-year-old Malaysian leader was elected for the second time as Prime Minister in May.

Nine suicide bombers carried out a series of blasts that tore through three churches and as many high-end hotels, killing 258 people in the country’s deadliest violence since the brutal civil war ended in 2009. The Islamic State claimed the attacks, but the government has blamed local Islamist extremist group National Thawheed Jamaath (NTJ) for the bombings. The police spokesman Ruwan Gunasekera said, 293 suspects have been arrested so far. Some 115 of them are in remand custody while 178 are being held under detention orders served on them.

A state of emergency was clamped in the country to help the authorities with investigations. The laws helped arrests and searches without warrants. However after four months of operations the law came to be lifted on August 22. The police assured that investigations would be
carried forward with no hindrance despite the lifting of emergency laws. The attacks left the island’s tourism sector devastated. Tour operators cancelled advance bookings due to security fears and the government was forced to offer many concessions for its revival.
Bill to stop no-deal Brexit set to pass House of Lords
London, Sep 5 (IANS): A bill designed to rule out the possibility of a no-deal Brexit -- if the UK government fails to secure a deal with the EU -- is set to complete its passage through the House of Lords on Friday. The bill, signed by a cross-party group of opposition lawmakers, has already cleared the House of Commons by 327 votes to 299 in what was a bruising defeat for UK’s new Prime Minister Boris Johnson. It is now in the House of Lords. Some opposition politicians feared that marathon filibustering by progovernment peers in the House of Lords, the upper house, could stall the bill’s progress but Lord Ashton of Hyde, a conservative peer, seemed to put those concerns to rest. “We have agreed that the current business of the House will be adjourned today and a new motion will be tabled tomorrow to allow the bill to complete
all stages in this House by 5 p.m. on Friday 6 September,” he said. Peers landed an agreement in the early hours of Thursday, having debated the matter through the night. The move means the bill, which was presented by Labour MP Hilary Benn and requires the government to seek a Brexit extension if it fails to secure its desired alterations to the existing withdrawal bill, should be signed into law by Monday, just before the prorogation of Parliament, Efe news reported.
Johnson’s decision to prorogue Parliament for five weeks ahead of Brexit united opposition forces in the lower house and caused rifts in his own party. The gover nment slated a Queen’s Speech, which sets out its legislative agenda for the year to come, on October 14. Currently, the UK is due to leave the bloc on October 31, with or without a deal. The House of Commons witnessed a tumultuous day of debate on Wednesday. Johnson was defeated

Lord Ashton of Hyde says Brexit bill will be ready to be presented for royal assent.
on two major fronts, firstly by the bill to rule out a nodeal Brexit and then again when MPs shot down his
bid to slate snap elections on October 15. He garnered just 298 votes in favour, well short of the two-
thirds majority required. The opposition has effectively taken control of the parliamentary agenda. The opposition Labour Party led by Jeremy Corbyn has said that it would accept a snap election, but not on Johnson’s terms. Johnson, who recently took over from Theresa May as party leader after his predecessor failed to get passed the Brexit withdrawal bill, argued that removing the option of a no-deal Brexit weakened his negotiating stance with the EU.
MHRD-GIAN (Global Initiative of Academic Networks) International COURSE ONAnti-Inflammatory Life Style for Prevention and Treatment of Cancer and Neurodegeneration: Facts and Fiction Overview Inflammation is body’s autoimmune response to things it finds threatening or dangerous. It frequently occurs when we are exposed to things such as allergens, chemicals, toxins, and other types of microorganisms. The problem is that when inflammation becomes chronic, the body can actually end up damaging its own tissues. Over the last decade the medical world has begun to realize that inflammation is the cause behind many chronic diseases from Cancer(s), neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Present course will focus on the interaction between inflammation and chronic diseases and trace the development of successful natural remedies basing on traditional knowledge of the age old civilizations with special reference to India; further their scientific validation in the light of modern medicine and eventually developing successful and affordable therapeutic strategies. Further we will discuss the potential of various dietary agents, also called nutraceuticals derived from spices, lentils, nuts, fruits, and vegetables; and agents from traditional medicine in suppression of inflammatory pathways and their role in prevention and therapy of cancer and neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. The primary objectives of the course are as following: To define the role of inflammation in human disease; To describe the role of nutraceuticals in containing the inflammation; To critically evaluate the potential of natural remedies in the light of modern medicine in developing therapeutics at affordable price; To understand the insights on power of nutraceuticals in suppression of inflammatory pathways from studies in cell culture, model organisms such as Drosophila to human clinical trials. Course participants will learn these topics through lectures and hands-on experiments. Dates 1-10-2019 to 5-10-2019 (5 days) Number of participants for the course will be limited to fifty. You Should You are a biomedical researcher or/and faculty at University/College, Attend If… Government and Industry R&D laboratories You are pursuing M.Sc/B.Tech/M.Tech/Ph.D/ in any branch of life sciences.

He had jumped over a fence and broken a glass door, which triggered the motion-activated burglar alarm, The Westerly Sun reported. When the police arrived, McEwan ran inside Swift’s house but was caught after a brief chase. “A pair of orange shoes were found at the doorway where he broke in,” Westerly Police Chief Shawn Lacey told the news outlet. “When officers asked him why he wasn’t wearing any, he told them, ‘I was always taught that when you go into someone’s home, you have to take your shoes off.’” “[McEwan] said he did it because it was polite,” Lacey said. He also added that no one was home when the incident occurred. McEwan was charged with breaking and entering and wilful trespassing. He

London, Sep 5 (Agencies): Granit Xhaka has hit back at his critics in the wake of the north London derby and insists Arsenal deserve more credit than they receive. Xhaka came under scrutiny at the weekend after he fouled Heung-min Son to give away a penalty in the 2-2 draw with Tottenham.
Arsenal fought back from two goals down to secure a point at the Emirates and Xhaka says the Gunners have been unfairly criticised for their start to the match. “Of course critics are always here,” he said. “The north London derby, I think we had a good game. I made a mistake with the penalty but if you saw the game, we could have won.” “We had a lot of chances but this is football. Nobody speaks about the chances, nobody speaks a b o u t h ow m a n y we missed. They always speak about the mistakes. This is part of football.” Xhaka is away on international duty with Switzerland.
Klopp knows I’m not happy: Lovren London, Sep 5 (Agencies): Dejan Lovren says he is still not happy sitting on the Liverpool bench but is relieved his unsuccessful transfer saga is over for now. The Croatia centre-half has confirmed he wanted to leave Anfield in the summer after falling behind Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez in Jurgen Klopp’s pecking order. Lovren was targetted by Italian clubs including Roma and AC Milan but Liverpool and Klopp insisted they wanted the 30-yearold, who has two years left on his contract, to stay. “I feel relief the transfer window is closed. I got tired of reading and listening every day about me leaving or staying in Liverpool,” Lovren told Croatian newspaper Sportske Novotsti. K Y M C
“Everyone wrote ‘Dejan is here, Dejan is there’, and knew nothing. It annoyed me. (But) yes, I did consider moving. I wanted to leave, but it didn’t happen, I was told Liverpool needs me and I accepted that.”
Panaji, Sep 5 (IANS): The Goa Police on Thursday booked the state’s chief swimming coach Surajit Ganguly on charges of rape and molestation. Ganguly was earlier sacked by the Swimming Federation of India (SFI) after a video and photographs of him allegedly molesting a minor girl, who is a national level swimmer, surfaced online. Deputy Superintendent of Police Gajanan Prabhudessai, in-charge of the Mapusa sub-division, confirmed the registration of an FIR under Sections 461, 354, 376 and 506 (ii) of the Indian Penal Code, Section 8 of the Goa Children’s Act and Sections 6 and 8 of POCSO Act. The Kolkata Police are also investigating the case as both the victim as well as the accused hail from West Bengal. Late on Wednesday, filmmaker Vinod Kapri uploaded grabs of the video and tagged Sports Minister Kiren Rijuju, seeking action against Ganguly.
R i j i j u t we e t e d i n response: “Stringent action will be taken through Sports Authority. Firstly, it’s a heinous crime of serious nature so I’ll urge the Police to take stringent penal action against the coach urgently.” Rijiju further directed the SFI to ensure that the “coach is not employed anywhere in India”. “I’ve taken a strong view of the incident. The Goa Swimming Association has terminated the contract of coach Surajit Ganguly. I’m asking the Swimming Federation of India to ensure that this coach is not employed anywhere in India. This applies to all Federations and disciplines,” Rijiju tweeted. Surajit Ganguly could not be contacted for his response despite several attempts.
Nemanja Matic and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
London, Sep 5(Agencies): Nemanja Matic says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will have to hold himself responsible if Manchester United do not compete for the Premier League title. Matic, who arrived at Old Trafford from Chelsea in 2017, has played only 22 minutes this season after making one appearance as a substitute against Southampton. United, who last won the league title in 2013, are eighth in the table after four games and trail league leaders Liverpool by seven points. “The coach must opt for the team that will fight for the title and if he does not win, he bears the responsibility,” Matic told reporters ahead of Serbia’s European Qualifier against Portugal on Saturday, live on Sky Sports Premier League. “I have been in foot-
ball for a long time, I have played almost all the games for all the clubs in the last 10 years. In order for me to play, one had to sit on the bench and accept that fact, and so do I now.” Solskjaer has picked 22-year-old Scott McTominay to partner Paul Pogba in central midfield in United’s first four games and although Matic respects the decision, he is determined to prove the Norwegian wrong. “In the first two or three games he picked the team without me,” Matic added. “I work as hard as I can. We respect the decision, it’s up to me to show him that he was wrong and to bring me back to where I belong. There is no problem. I told him I disagreed
with him but that he had to decide the team.” United return to league action after the international break when they host Brendan Rodgers’ unbeaten Leicester at Old Trafford on September 14. Paul Scholes does not believe Solskjaer’s side can compete for the Premier League title in the next two years. The ex-United and England midfielder believes results this season show they remain behind last season’s top four in the Premier League. He said, “I think you almost have to write United off for the next two years this team - until Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has cleared everything he wants out; has four or five transfer windows.”

bowler to reach 100 Test wickets. Taijul, who finished the day with 2-73, also became the third Bangladeshi bowler after Shakib Al Hasan and Mohammad Rafique to achieve such a feat in the longer format in his 25th match. O f f - s p i n n e r Mahmudullah chipped in when he forced Hashmatullah Shahidi to give a catch to Soumya Sarkar at slip for 14 in his first over. Bangladesh fielded an all-spin attack without picking a single pace bowler while Afghanistan handed a Test debut to Ibrahim, Qais Ahmed and Zahir Khan. Afghanistan skipper Rashid became the youngest ever Test captain at the age of 20 years 350 days with the toss, overtaking the record of Zimbabwe’s Tatenda Taibu, who made his debut as Test captain just eight days older than Rashid in 2004. Brief scores: Afghanistan 271/5 (Rahmat Shah 102, Asghar Afghan 88*; Nayeem Hasan 2-43, Taijul Islam 2-73) vs Bangladesh

days in 2018. Afghanistan registered their first Test victory against Ireland early this year with Shah scoring two fifties in the game including a 98 in the first innings. The top-order batsman extended his prolific run of form as he reached his hundred with a boundary off Hasan, raising his bat to a standing ovation from the crowd and the dressing room. His celebration though was shortlived as Hasan got the batsman, who hit 10 fours and two sixes in his 187-ball knock, out on the next ball. Hasan struck again with his off spin three balls later in the same over, rattling the stumps of Mohammad Nabi for nought as Afghanistan slipped to 197 for five. Afghan, who survived a reprieve on 42 by TV umpire after being given leg before out off Mehidy Hasan, struck three fours and two sixes so far in his second Test fifty. In the first session Taijul bowled opener Ihsanullah Janat for nine with his left-arm spin and became the fastest Bangladeshi

Chittagong, Sep 5 (AFP): Batsman Rahmat Shah Thursday became the first Afghanistan cricketer to score a Test century, helping the minnows start strongly against Bangladesh on the opening day of the one-off match. Shah made 102 and put on a crucial 120-run fourth-wicket stand with Asghar Afghan, batting on 88, to counter the Bangladesh spin attack at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong. Afghanistan were 271 for five at stumps with Afghan and Afsar Zazai, on 35, putting together a 74-run partnership in the final session of play. But it was Shah and Afghan who ensured that Afghanistan fought their way back in to the contest after being in trouble at 77 for three at lunch. Ta i j u l I s l a m a n d Nayeem Hasan took two wickets each to hurt Afghanistan after the tourists elected to bat first in just their third five-day game. The war-torn nation had a bruising introduction to Test cricket after India outplayed them inside two

While Moudgil has made the cut in both the women’s 10m air rifle and women’s 50m rifle 3 positions event, Bhaker has qualified for the women’s 10m air pistol and women’s 25m pistol events. Across all four ISSF World Cup stages this year, India won 16 gold, four silver and two bronze medals in 2019.

India lose to Oman in opening WC Qualifier Bajrang gets top billing
Indian captain Sunil Chhetri in action during the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Oman at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in Guwahati on Thursday.
G u wa h at i , S e p 5 (PTI): Captain Sunil Chhetri’s early strike went in vain as India surrendered a onegoal advantage to lose 1-2 to Oman in their opening fixture of the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in Guwahati on Thursday. The 87-ranked Oman rallied to score twice
through Rabia Alawi Al Mandhar in the last eight minutes of regulation time. The 35-year-old Chhetri, international football’s second highest scorer among active players, pushed India ahead in the 24th minute with his 72nd strike. However, Mandhar broke Indian hearts when he flicked the ball past Gurpreet Singh Sandhu to re-
store parity in the 82nd minute. More disappointment was in store for the 103ranked India as Mandhar completed his brace in the 89th minute in a stunning turnaround. India dominated the first half with more shots at opposition goal and also enjoyed possession. Ashique Kuruniyan, who returned to the team
after missing the Kings Cup and Intercontinental Cup due to injury, created problems for the Oman defence with his pace and trickery in the left channel. Following one such run down the left flank in the 24th minute, he was fouled by Abdulaziz Al Ghailani and India got a free kick on the left edge of the box.
Brandon Fernandes took the set piece, sent a grounder in the middle of the box and Chhetri fooled his marker to drill in a leftfooter into the Oman net, much to the celebration of a vociferous crowd. Before that, India were denied lead in the 15th minute when Udanta Singh’s shot off a Chhetri pass beat the Omani goalkeeper but it struck the crossbar, to the dismay of the home side. Udanta was also denied a goal in a similar fashion against the UAE in the Asian Cup earlier in the year. There were periods of incessant Indian attack in the first half and central defender Sandesh Jhingan sent the ball over the bar in a free header off a corner taken by Anirudh Thapa in the 20th minute. Oman pressed hard in the closing stages of the first half and goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu made a great save in the 43rd minute, blocking a Ahmed Kano header in a one-to-one situation to keep India’s lead intact. The visitors made a strong fightback in the second half to leave the home team disappointed.
at World Championships
New Delhi, Sep 5 (PTI): India’s top grappler Bajrang Punia has been handed the top billing in the men’s 65kg freestyle category at the World Championships, slated to begin in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan from September 14. World number one Bajrang, who is in Russia for training ahead of the championships, had bagged a silver in the last edition and a bronze in 2013 in 60kg. “Training abroad with foreign athletes has helped me grow as a wrestler. Sparring with some of the best names in Georgia, Russia and USA has made me more aware of my opponents,” said Bajrang. “Besides, having my own team of coach, physio, trainer and sports science support staff has benefited me a lot and instilled a lot of confidence into me ahead of the World Championships.” Two-time Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar remains India’s only gold medallist at the Worlds. He had climbed on top of the podium in the 2010 edition.
Bajrang Punia
United World Wrestling, the world governing body, organised a training camp for all the wrestlers in Nur Sultan to help them acclimatise to the conditions. “It is a very good initiative taken by UWW ahead of such a big event. All wrestlers will be eyeing Olympic berths at the World Championships this time and an acclimation camp can help them to be ready for the challenge,” said Punia. Maharashtra wrestler Rahul Aware has been handed second seed in 61kg while reigning junior world champion Deepak
Punia has been seeded fourth in the 86kg. “My training has gone really well and I am excited to make my World Championships debut. Winning a gold at the World Junior Championships last month has boosted my confidence level and I am eager to give my all,” said Deepak, who ended India’s 18-year-old medal drought at the Junior World Championships. Among women, India’s Seema Bisla has been seeded second in the 50kg. A gold medal at Yasar Dogu Ranking Series has propelled her to number three in the world.
DFL-2: Burma Nadal storms into US Open semis India’s campaign ends Camp FC hold at Chinese Taipei Open Chanan FC 2-2
Sourabh Verma
Taipei, Sep 5 (PTI): Former champion Sourabh Verma suffered a straightgame loss to world number 2 Chou Tien Chen in the men’s singles second round to draw curtains on India’s campaign at the USD 500,000 Chinese Taipei Open badminton tournament here on Thursday. The 26-year-old Sourabh, who won the Hyderabad Open last month, was
no match for the top-seeded Chen, going down 12-21 10-21 in a match that lasted 30 minutes. World number 38 Sourabh, the 2016 winner of this tournament, had come into the match with a 2-0 head-to-head record against Chen but that did not matter as the Taipei shuttler stamped his authority to knock the Indian out of the tournament.
The last time the pair faced against each other was way back in 2014 in the Malaysia Grand Prix Gold and a lot has changed since then as Thursday’s match showed a huge gulf in the quality of the two players. Chen jumped to a 5-0 lead early on and held to a healthy 11-5 lead at the break. The Indian tried to make a comeback but he just could not find a way to extend the rallies with the Taipei shuttler pocketing the opening game comfortably. In the second game, Sourabh took a 3-1 lead early on but the script changed quickly as Chen once again dominated the proceedings, marching ahead with quick burst of points. At the break, Chen led 11-4 and the gap kept increasing as Sourabh crumbled. Sourabh will next play at Vietnam Open Super 100 next week, before competing in Korea Open (September 24-29).
Dimapur, Sep 5 (NPN): Burma Camp FC held Chanan FC to a 2-2 draw at the ongoing 2nd Dimapur Football League (DFL-2) played at DDSC Stadium, Dimapur on Thursday. Dilo and Ghokiye scored a goal each for Chanan FC while Asui and Pursunep scored the goals for Burma Camp FC. In the second match, Tribal Hustlers defeated SM College by 1-0. The lone goal of the match was scored by Purakum. Hekani Jakhalu, chair and founder, Youthnet was the match patron on September 5. Addressing the players, Jakhalu encouraged the players to give their best in every field and to work hard. On Friday, Kachari Sporting Club will take on Tribals United at 3:30pm, Fugu FC will play Spartan FC at 6:00 pm and Aphuyemi FC will lock horns with Burma Camp FC 7:50 pm.
Messi rated higher than Ronaldo on ‘leaked’ FIFA 20 statistics
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi
Zurich, Sep 5 (Agencies): Lionel Messi vs Cristiano Ronaldo has one of the greatest individual sporting rivalries and the debate for supremacy between the two footballers appears to have taken another twist with leaked FIFA 20 statistics. Both the Barcelona and Juventus forwards, who have individually won five Ballon d’Ors, have battled for the tag of greatest male footballer for some time. Messi recently took a lead against Ronaldo when he bagged the UEFA Best Forward award and it appears that the Barcelona’s
Argentine wizard will soon have further bragging rights. According to a report by The Sun, leaked stats show Messi has been given a rating of 94/100 in this season’s edition of FIFA, which was to be released on September 27, while Ronaldo slipping a point to 93. In the last year’s game, both players had 94. The Twitter account of FIFA20 News shows the pair have been split with Messi retaining his 94 rating while Ronaldo getting a point lower to 93. The iconic duo continue to be the highest rated players on the game outside
of the FIFA Icons and are followed by Neymar on 92, Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne on 91 and Liverpool trio Mohammed Salah, Virgil Van Dijk and Alisson all on 90. In the last season, Messi scored 51 goals in 50 appearances in all competitions, helping his Barcelona side win the La Liga title for the second consecutive time. On the other hand, Ronaldo scored 28 goals in 43 appearances in all competitions, but still helped Juventus to the Serie A title. Despite their fierce sporting rivalry, Ronaldo recently insisted there were no hard feelings between Messi and him, and even hinted they could soon share a meal together. Speaking at the Champions League group stage draw Ronaldo said, “I don’t know if it has ever happened in football, the same two guys on the same stage all the time. So it is not easy, as you know. Of course, we have a good relationship. We have not had dinner together... yet. But I hope in the future!”
N e w Yo r k , S e p 5 ( Ag e n c i e s ) : D i e g o Schwartzman may have been the smallest player in 25 years to reach the U.S. Open quarter-finals but gave Rafael Nadal a big fight and forced the Spaniard to grind out a 6-4 7-5 6-2 win on Wednesday to reach the last four at Flushing Meadows. With Roger Federer and 2018 champion Novak Djokovic having already made exits, Nadal’s path to a fourth U.S. Open trophy has been cleared of familiar hurdles. But Schwartzman reminded Nadal that danger can lurk everywhere, even from an opponent he had beaten in all seven previous meetings and only lost two sets. “I had some mistakes of course but I am super happy the way I accepted the challenge,” said Nadal, who needed almost three hours to see off Schwartzman. “I just keep going point-by-point and here I am in the semi-finals and that is super important for

me. It means everything.” Schwartzman, who often trains with Nadal, had the second seed’s full respect after brushing past sixth seed Alexander Zverev in the previous round. That caution was well placed as Schwartzman made the 18-time Grand Slam winner work for every
point, with the Argentine fighting back from two breaks down in the opening two sets. Nadal had come out firing on all cylinders showing the 5’7” (1.70m) tall Argentine no mercy as he raced to a 4-0 lead. But Schwartzman dug in and threw everything he
had back at the three time U.S. Open champion to send a shock through Arthur Ashe Stadium when he swept the next four games to level the set. The Spaniard, who has also never shied away from a fight, held serve and then broke his opponent for a 1-0 lead. Normal service looked to have resumed in the second set as Nadal, bathed sweat, constructed a 5-1 advantage but again the 20th seed refused to surrender and stormed through the next four games. The 33-year-old Spaniard, however, again broke Schwartzman for a 2-0 advantage. Neither player was able to gain an edge in the third set until Nadal broke to go up 4-2, then delivered the knockout punch as he held serve and closed out the match with another break. Nadal now faces bighitting Italian Matteo Berrettini, who ground out a 3-6 6-3 6-2 3-6 7-6(5) over France’s Gael Monfils, in the semi-finals.
