VIKRAM DESCENT TRAJECTORY

Altitude (km)

BENGALURU, SEP 7 (PTI): India’s bold bid to become only the fourth country to achieve a soft landing on the Moon ended in a huge disappointment on Saturday when contact with Chandrayaan-2’s landing module was abruptly lost seconds before it was to descend the final 2.1 km and touch down on the lunar surface. As crestfallen scientists of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) here struggled to come to terms with the reverse after lander ‘Vikram’ was on steady course to touch the lunar south pole, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the nation in rallying behind them, saying they should not get disheartened. India also would have been the only country to land on the Moon’s unexplored south pole as part of the Rs 978 crore Chandrayaan-2 mission conceived a decade ago. The process of controlled descent starting with the rough braking of the 1,471-kg lander named after Dr Vikram A Sarabhai, father of the Indian space programme, its progression to fine braking (till the

altitude of 2.1 km), all considered “complex and terrifying,” culminated with a statement that contact with ‘Vikram’ was lost. While millions of people waited with bated breath to witness the lander’s touch down after the mission was launched on July 22 to flawlessly cover nearly 4 lakh kilometres in 47 days in multiple manoeuvres, a mood of gloom descended over the control centre after ISRO Chairman K Sivan made a sombre announcement in the presence of the prime minister after some tense

moments. “Vikram lander descent was as planned and normal performance was observed up to an altitude of 2.1 km. Subsequently, communication from the lander to ground stations was lost,” said Sivan, his voice choking. “The data is being analysed”, he said at the control centre at the ISRO’s Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC) here. The last 15 minutes of the mission when the lander attempts to guide it-

self with the help of its own propulsion system without any support from ground control has repeatedly been described by Sivan as “15 minutes of terror”. A senior ISRO official said the four-legged lander and the six-wheeled rover ‘Pragyan’ housed inside that was planned for a roll-out between 5.30 am and 6.30 am to carry out experiments may have been lost. If ‘Vikram’ had pulled off the historic touchdown, the country could have joined the US, Russia and China in soft-landing on the

lunar surface. Though the intended mission met with a reverse, an ISRO official said the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter is healthy and safe in the lunar orbit, in some relief to the space agency. “The orbiter is healthy, intact, functioning normally and safely in the lunar orbit,” the official told PTI. The mission life of the 2,379-kg orbiter is one year and its payloads will conduct remote-sensing observations from a 100-km orbit. According to US space agency NASA’s ‘Moon Fact Sheet’, the success rate of lunar missions undertaken in the last six decades is 60 per cent. Of the 109 lunar missions during the period, 61 were successful while 48 failed. Approved in 2008, it is a Rs 978-crore initiative (satellite cost Rs 603 crore, GSLV MK III cost Rs 375 crore) and a successor to Chandrayaan-1 mission, it comprised an orbiter, lander and rover. The orbiter carries eight scientific payloads for mapping the lunar surface and study the exosphere (outer atmosphere) of the moon.

him and held him. Words were exchanged as a disturbed and disappointed Sivan took time to gain his composure.

BENGALURU, SEP 7 (IANS/PTI): Years of hard work literally came to naught for ISRO on Saturday after it lost communication with Moon lander Vikram, and no amount of words could put it right for the scientists at ISTRAC Bengaluru. Despite a motivational speech by none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who had rushed in to watch the mission’s success late last night and then again was with the Team Chandrayaan-2 to speak to them, ISRO Chairman K. Sivan could not hold his tears and broke down as the PM was about to leave. In a very visible emo-

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday asked ISRO scientists to not get disheartened by the setback in the Chandrayaan-2 mission and asserted that there will be a “new dawn and brighter tomorrow very soon” after this learning experience. Modi delivered a message of optimism, solidarity and hope to scientists in an address seeking to rally the nation around the ISRO, hours after it announced it had lost communication with the lander. The nation is proud of them and stands with them, he said. “We came very close but we need to cover more ground in the times to come. Learning from today will make us stronger and better. The nation is proud of our space programme and scientists. The best is yet to come in our space programme. There are new

frontiers to discover and new places to go. India is with you,” Modi said. “Effort was worth it and so was the journey. It will make us stronger and better. There will be a new dawn and brighter tomorrow very soon... I am with you, nation is with you,” he added. Praising the scientists, he said they ventured where no one previously went and India is proud of each and every one of them, and expressed confidence that they will achieve success in the next attempt. Modi sought to lighten the mood in the moments of disappointment for scientists, saying the moon has been so much romanticised in poems and literature that Chandrayaan in its last steps ran to embrace it, a reference to Vikram’s failure to lower its speed as planned during its descent to the lunar surface.

DRDA employees begin total shutdown of offices Correspondent

KOHIMA, SEP 7 (NPN): As part of fourth phase of agitation, the aggrieved employees of District Rural Development Agency (DRDA) on Saturday resorted to total closure of DRDA offices across the state over the failure of the government to release their pending salary. Total closure of all the DRDA offices is likely to paralyze the whole machinery under DRDA. One of the DRDA project directors said Management Information System (MIS) would be affected severely. It would trigger down to BDOs and VDBs would also be affected, project director said. Following the total shutdown of the DRDA offices, around 1200 villages

under DRDA were likely to be affected severely, while most of the files and grantin-aid of VDBs are also pending due to the ongoing agitation. In the third phase of agitation, the employees went on a mass casual leave from September 2-6, 2019. In the event of the failure of the department to respond positively to their rights and entitlements, the DRDA employees, in a representation, cautioned that they would take appropriate measures that could include “seeking for interventions from higher Authority or resorting to legal recourse(s) as guaranteed by Industrial Disputes Act of 1947 or any other as deemed appropriate, for which we should not be held responsible”.

Mnp CM lacks political will: STDCM

Correspondent

IMPHAL, Sep 7: Scheduled Tribe Demand Committee of Manipur (STDCM) on Saturday came down on chief minister N Biren Singh alleging lack of political will in recommending the Centre for inclusion of Meetei/Meitei in the ST list of India. “CM Biren lacks political will to send the recommendation even though he is well aware of the dark future of the community in the absent of Constitution safeguard,” L Romesh, the convenor of Coordinating Body of STDCM said during a press conference held at STDCM office in Imphal on Saturday. He claimed that in a talk with a delegation of the STDCM, the chief minister expressed support to the demand for inclusion of Meitei/Meetei in the ST list of India. He revealed the chief minister expressed concern over the future survival of the community in the absent of any constitution safeguard for the commu-

nity but alleged that his government still could not sent the mandatory recommendation because few objected to the ST status for the community. If the chief minister was committed to save the community and he truly loves his people, he should have sent the recommendation facing all the obstacles before him, he added. The convenor informed the media that the STDCM delegation held talks with the chief minister on his invitation after the STDCM stir to ban railway project in Manipur commenced. Commencing ban on railway project, members of the STDCM led by its president moved to the office of the Northern Frontier Railway in Imphal’s MSTRC complex and locked the down the office with padlock. A police team who rushed to the spot detained 19 members only to release them later in the late evening without any condition. The marathon talks held at chief minister secretariat ended with no fruitful

outcome, the convenor said while informing that the chief minister instead of listening to the delegation, explained the obstacles of the government while sending the recommendation. STDCM has been pressing the state government to recommend the Centre to include Meetei/ Meitei community of Manipur in the Scheduled Tribe list of India which is mandatory for the Centre for consideration. While pressing to fulfil its demand, STDCM feared that without any constitutional protection, Meitei/ Meetei community will be totally wiped out of its own soil sooner than later unable to protect themselves from various forces that challenge the existence of the community. “Whether the Centre considers it or not was another thing, what we want is the state government sending the recommendation. State government’s recommendation is crucial, he added. With regard to Friday’s incident of picking up

members of the STDCM including the president, the convenor strongly condemned the police personnel while alleging that they had acted excessively even on senior citizens taking part in the democratic form of protest. The police personnel even abuse elderly members of the STDCM taking part in locking down the NFR office while physically assaulting the members, he alleged. He then demanded befitting action against police personnel who acted excessively on its members and announced that STDCM will continue to ban activities of the railway in the state until government send the mandatory recommendation. Apart from banning the railway project, STDCM was ready to launch other forms of protest with mass participation, he said. The committee will intensify its stir if the state government fails to address their demand at the earliest, the convenor threatened.

Guwahati, Sep 7 (PTI): The Tea Association of India (TAI) has said stringent legal provisions will deter attacks on doctors and bolster the morale of medical officers working in the tea industry. The TAI has condemned the fatal assault on Dr Deben Dutta at Teok Tea Estate in Assam’s Jorhat district. In a statement issued on Friday, TAI SecretaryGeneral P K Bhattacharjee said, “This incident and another assault on a medical officer in Dikom Tea Estate

have shaken the morale of tea garden executives, not to speak of medical officers working in the plantations, many of whom have resigned since Dr Dutta’s death.” Bhattacharjee said the Assam Medicare Service Persons and Medicare Service Institutions (Prevention of Violence and Damage to Property) Act, 2011 has not acted as a deterrent against such attacks. “The central government has conceptualised a bill to address this problem. It has reportedly been sent

to the state governments to seek their views on it,” he said. Bhattacharjee said the new bill will make assault on doctors a major offence. “Strict legal provisions, such as hefty fines and imprisonment for assault on doctors, can act as deterrent against attack on doctors and bolster the morale of tea garden medical officers,” he said. Dr Deben Dutta succumbed to his injuries on August 31 after being assaulted allegedly by workers of the Teok Tea Estate

following the death of one of the garden workers at a hospital in the plantation. Doctors in the state had gone on a 24-hour strike on

September 3 to protest the assault. More than 30 people have been arrested for their alleged links to the assault.

and flying by the moon respectively). In a span of a little more than a year, from August 1958 to November 1959, the US and the USSR launched 14 missions. Only three -- Luna 1, Luna 2 and Luna 3 -- were successful. All were launched by the USSR. The Ranger 7 mission launched in July 1964 by the US was the first to take close-up pictures of the moon. The first lunar soft landing and first pictures from the lunar surface came from Luna 9, launched by the USSR in January 1966. Five months later, in May 1966, the US successfully launched a similar mission Surveyor-1. The Apollo 11 mission was the landmark mission through which humans first

stepped on the lunar surface. The three-crew mission was headed by Neil Armstrong. Japan launched Hiten, an orbiter mission in January 1990. This was also Japan’s first Moon mission. After that, in September 2007, Japan launched Selene, another orbiter mission. There were six lunar missions from 2000-2009 -- Europe (Smart-1), Japan (Selene), China (Chang’e 1), India (Chandrayaan-1) and the US (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and LCCROSS). From 2009-2019, ten missions have been launched of which five have been sent by China, three by the US, and one each by India and Israel. Since 1990, the US, Japan, India, the European Union, China and Israel launched 19 lunar missions.

Transferred to Meghalaya, Madras HC Chief Justice V K Tahilramani resigns

NEW DELHI, SEP 7 (PTI): A Delhi court on Saturday dismissed the bail applications of alleged middleman Christian Michel who was arrested in connection with the AgustaWestland VVIP chopper case. Special Judge Arvind Kumar rejected Michel’s applications in cases filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED), saying there was no sufficient ground to grant the relief. Michel, extradited from Dubai, was arrested by the ED on December 22 last year. On January 5 this year, he was sent to judicial custody in the ED case. He is also lodged in judicial custody in another case registered by the CBI in connection with the scam. Michel is among the three alleged middlemen being probed in the case by the ED and the CBI. The other two are Guido Haschke and Carlo Gerosa.

NEW DELHI, SEP 7 (PTI): Days after the Supreme Court Collegium declined her request for reconsideration of transfer to Meghalaya, Madras High Court Chief Justice Vijaya K Tahilramani has resigned. She tendered her resignation to President Ram Nath Kovind and sent a copy of it to Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi last night, official sources said on Saturday. The collegium, headed by Chief Justice Gogoi, had recommended transfer of Justice Tahilramani, who was elevated as the Madras High Court’s Chief Justice on August 8 last year, to the Meghalaya High Court. The collegium had recommended her transfer on August 28, after which she had made a representation requesting it to reconsider the proposal She had protested against the collegium’s decision to not consider her request against transferring her to the Meghalaya High Court.

Move to transfer Tahilramani can’t be considered routine: Karat

Vijaya K Tahilramani

The apex court collegium -- comprising justices S A Bobde, N V Ramana, Arun Mishra and R F Nariman -- had recommended that Meghalaya High Court Chief Justice Justice A K Mittal be transferred to the Madras High Court. Justice Tahilramani was appointed as a judge of the Bombay High Court on June 26, 2001. Justice Tahilramani was to retire on October 2, 2020.

Terming the transfer and subsequent resignation of Madras High Court Chief Justice Vijaya Tahilramani as “shocking and disturbing”, CPI(M) politburo member Brinda Karat on Saturday said the move was an “insult” and cannot be considered routine. “To be transferred as the chief justice from a court with 75 judges to one in Meghalaya which has only two judges cannot be considered a routine transfer and is a virtual demotion. This entire episode once again highlights the unsatisfactory opaque present system of judicial appointments and transfers,” Karat said in a statement.

NEW DELHI, SEP 7 (PTI): Only half of the lunar missions involving landing on moon surface have succeeded in the last six decades, according to NASA. There have been a total of 109 lunar missions from 1958, out of which 61 were successful, says the US space agency’s ‘Moon Fact Sheet’. As many as 46 missions involved landing on the lunar surface, including landing of the rover and sample return. Out of these 21 were successful, while two were partially successful. Sample return means mission that involves collecting and returning samples to earth. The first successful sample return mission was Apollo 12 of the US launched in November 1969. In the early hours of Saturday, Indian space agency ISRO’s plan to soft land Chandrayaan-2’s Vikram module on the lunar surface did not go as per script. The lander lost communication with ground stations during its final descent, ISRO officials said, adding that the orbiter of Chandrayaan-2 -- second lunar mission -- remains heathy and safe. This year, Israel, too, launched its lunar mission Beresheet in February 2018 but it crash landed in April. In 2008, India had launched Chandrayaan-1 which had an orbiter and an impactor.

Protests in Hongkong

fter all the pent up frustrations and apprehensions felt by citizens of Hongkong, the extradition bill that would allow citizens to be extradited to mainland China burst into the open as thousands of protestors continued to vent their resentment. The protests have gone from weekly to almost daily. Of course, the citizens of Hongkong were protesting not only against the proposed extradition bill but the gradual erosion of democratic freedom in the colony which was returned to China on July 1, 1997, after the United Kingdom(UK ) ceded control. The protests were initially focused on a bill that would have made it possible to extradite people from Hong Kong to China, where the Communist party controls the courts. Though the majority of people in Hongkong are Chinese, they see themselves as ‘Hong kongers’ and not Chinese. Protests have continued since 1997, but now the biggest ones tend to be of a political nature - and bring demonstrators into conflict with mainland China's position. Many Hong kongers feared the law would be used by authorities to target political enemies and that it would signify the end of the “one country, two systems” policy, eroding the civil rights enjoyed by Hong Kong residents since the handover of sovereignty from the UK to China in 1997. Millions of people joined street marches against the bill, paralysing the city. In the early 1980s, as the deadline for the 99-year-lease approached, Britain and China began talks on the future of Hong Kong - with the communist government in China arguing that all of Hong Kong should be returned to Chinese rule. The two sides reached a deal in 1984 that would see Hong Kong return to China in 1997, under the principle of "one country, two systems". This meant that while becoming part of one country with China, Hong Kong would enjoy "a high degree of autonomy, except in foreign and defence affairs" for 50 years. Rights groups have accused China of meddling in Hong Kong, citing examples such as legal rulings that have disqualified pro-democracy legislators. Hong Kong's leader, the chief executive, is currently elected by a 1,200-member election committee - a mostly pro-Beijing body chosen by just 6% of eligible voters. Not all the 70 members of the territory's lawmaking body, the Legislative Council, are directly chosen by Hong Kong's voters. Most seats not directly elected are occupied by pro-Beijing lawmakers. While Hong Kongers have a degree of autonomy, they have little liberty in the polls, meaning protests are one of the few ways they can make their opinions heard. There has also been a rise in anti-mainland Chinese sentiment in Hong Kong in recent years, with people complaining about rude tourists disregarding local norms or driving up the cost of living. Some young activists have even called for Hong Kong's independence from China, something that alarms the Beijing government. The Chinese government said in 2014 it would allow voters to choose their leaders from a list approved by a pro-Beijing committee, but critics called this a "sham democracy" and it was voted down in Hong Kong's legislature. In 28 years' time in 2047, the Basic Law expires - and what happens to Hong Kong's autonomy after that is unclear. China is firm that Hong Kong should be unified with the mainland and would brook no protests further.

Continue to “be filled” (Ephesians 5:18) and the sweetness of your vital relationship to Jesus will flow as generously out of you as it has been given to you. If you find that His life is not springing up as it should, you are to blame— something is obstructing the flow. Was Jesus saying to stay focused on the Source so that you may be blessed personally? No, you are to focus on the Source so that out of you “will flow rivers of living water”— irrepressible life (John 7:38). We are to be fountains through which Jesus can flow as “rivers of living water” in blessing to everyone. Yet some of us are like the Dead Sea, always receiving but never giving, because our relationship is not right with the Lord Jesus. As surely as we receive blessings from Him, He will pour out blessings through us. But whenever the blessings are not being poured out in the same measure they are received, there is a defect in our relationship with Him. Is there anything between you and Jesus Christ? Is there anything hindering your faith in Him? If not, then Jesus says that out of you “will flow rivers of living water.” It is not a blessing that you pass on, or an experience that you share with others, but a river that continually flows through you. Stay at the Source, closely guarding your faith in Jesus Christ and your relationship to Him, and there will be a steady flow into the lives of others with no dryness or deadness whatsoever. Is it excessive to say that rivers will flow out of one individual believer? Do you look at yourself and say, “But I don’t see the rivers”? Through the history of God’s work you will usually find that He has started with the obscure, the unknown, the ignored, but those who have been steadfastly true to Jesus Christ.

Unemployment: A mental delusion

he easiest way to escape the reality of unemployment is to blame another person for it. That said, our state has seen the empirical side of it. Contrary to the popular proverb, “It is easier said than done”, this issue is rather easier done than said. Over the past few years, the State Government has bravely shouldered the accusation and insults hurled at them for failing to provide employment to the general society (and yet no one dares to challenge it face to face). And finally, “unemployment” has come to terms with “inability to attain government service (be it back-door, front-door, or side-door).” As our generation waste away slowly waiting for the “employed” tag, we forget that we have a life to live (for the record, we were atleast successful in redefining the term “employed” and “unemployed”). Now let us reason together and face the truth face to face. To consider oneself as “unemployed” is just a reflection of one’s own foolishness and cowardice. No one who is in his/her right mind will ever consider himself/herself as unemployed for the fact that unemployment is a self-created thraldom. Unemployment is not a product of social imbalance nor political corruption, rather it is simply a mental delusion and mental illness. Employment happens only when a person requires another person to do a job which that person has created. And so, the person pays a certain amount to another

person to complete the job. Look at it carefully. In the first place, it was the idea that the person come up with, which needed another person to complete it. And as the idea began to grow, more people are needed to finish the job. It was the first idea that required two people to complete it, and later, as the idea began to expand, the idea developed which needed more people to complete it. And so, initially, it was the idea that paved the way for employment which eventually developed into a system (by system I mean, an idea that could generate stable consumers). To put it bluntly, it is madness to spend half of our lives waiting for an opportunity to be a part of that one particular idea. Why would we, for heavens’ sake, go on chasing a single idea when we can have millions of other ideas that could simply develop into a system? Therefore, it is just madness. We stake our life for the sake of an idea when we can develop our own ideas, completely independent of the former idea of the other person. In other words, a government job is just an idea that is able to generate a lot of consumers (regardless of the quality of the product); an idea that created a giant stable system. And therefore, it is just madness to bargain half or whole of our life, simply to be a part of the giant system that came into being with a single raw idea. And to associate “employment” to a government job (a single idea) is just mental delusion – a

The rule of the rich

ne of the most declassified social pandemic is the maxim rule-of-the-rich. The rich are not asked-of or demanded to freely donate their life's savings worth in the act of giving away to the destitute succumbing to the hierarchy. In the spectrum of haves — some make donations to community welfares, religious institutions, science and research centres, disadvantaged ability foundations, social and political movement, impotent individual who voluntarily enlist on fundraising forums to garner monetary assist from wilful sympathizers etc. While there are some rich group who exploit the marginalized and the environment for their self-profits. Meanwhile, these elites and their magnanimity act as a medium third-wheel to fill up some vacuum in the money-with-ideas powered state system, where the arm of the system cannot practically reach. This quality of chaos in stable and advancing state-systems gives just the right amount of push to internal (within the state/introversive) and external (foreign/extroversive) affairs of real-world pandemonium, which it in turns deflect and feed simultaneously the sense of right/wrong - progress/gradual-helpless-devolution patterns of consciousness in the matrix of the collective hive world. This is prevalent in dominant countries in sync with universal democratic numbers of humane sense of right and wrong - steadily - having to deal with larger global population and their fleeing each own other political bases - a prodigal son - doomed to crawl back to the logically calculated systems after wrecking havoc not before unleashing potential peril in great magnitude. The quality chaos of rule by the moniker in the lesser stable system pose a great hindrance to the collective in the rally. The rich themselves are the integral component the gives the system its own blend of corrupt distortion-entanglement. These group fail to actively participate in proper rehabilitation of the system as they in their right mind wouldn't want to face short sighted apprehension of consequences - quite the contrary, in reality, the actions could escalate towards help— build—serious exemption—move-on sequence (marginal restitution(if any)-reimbursement opportunity-exponential overall growth) which they fail to see. [The South Korean Currency Crisis of 1997 where citizens donated their golds to the national treasury on the event of a traumatic economic collapse, helped undertow the Great Depression scale of bankruptcy, after which it rebounded to a newer resiliency in economic and tech front, should be a reminder in the tally.] There is not so much wonder as much it is to see our state simply has many rich who are comatosed in the grandeur of past, lost and wasted years when there was no popular interfacing of the awaking and intellect class of people which is an undeniable fact up for debate. From the local level to political debate through formal address or euphemism... is there really a larger role for the Naga-haves to play... in the times that is going to decide the placing of new government and the fate to ensue. Azilo Kent, Nuiland, Dimapur

mental illness for that matter. It is just unthinkable. Human being has the capability to think and create independently. To bound that potentiality to a certain ideadevelop-system is to abridge our own humanity. We are created to see, experience, learn and develop and not just run after other created things. And that’s why, often, I cannot imagine myself spending half of my life behind a desk filling up papers without having to create something of my own. At the same time it can be a passion for some. Government job is not an end to our “employed” tag; rather it is just one out of the many. We can create and develop ideas and have our own system. Again, it is foolishness to copy someone else’s idea and attempt to generate the same consumers without trying to develop that idea, something that is prevailing in our society at the moment. We are meant to create, not copy! On the bright side, recently our society has seen a great awakening in the commercial enterprise. People are making ideas come alive and they risked everything to develop that idea (completely independent of the government job). A ray of hope seems to have broken through the plaque of unemployment mentality. And maybe, we are looking at the new race of generation – a generation of creators! Yet, always remember that we have a Creator who is greater than us and our creations. Thekhro Mero, Pfutsero Town

n this write-up, I would attempt to broadly interact with the characteristics of 'love', and try to draw some straws on if there is any essential purpose of the meaning that love embody, or if our internalization of the word 'love' is instinctual and our misconception on existential crisis from the bio chemicals that are innately manufactured in our human body, has been seriously addressed, and hence understood. I wouldn't deal on the etymology but rather would try to surf in the abstract behind the notion-perception-experience of this paradoxical augmentation of connatural implant. The archetype: The most readily related notion of love is assigned with "boy-girl/partner" infatuation, romance, small-talk drama, nuptial -- then this lineages in sequence embark on to the society -- family, nurturing the kids— providing infrastructure for the children to grow with passion about the good sides of life while coping with stoicism on negative gateways of life- and ultimately in direct or indirect segway of dealings, contribute significantly for the advancement of the society he had been a part of through life's journey... in where, human struggled since the origin of humankind to set free from the hard and cruel juxtaposition of subjective emotions and its conflict with the adaptability of human ideas that could be worked on to his objective world... so that every human could obtain equal opportunity of benefits from it, and proceed on for a peaceful, joyous and constant growth with healthy environment. Its attribution on environment: However nature is not designed to channel all its creation in harmonic symphony, and this has so much truth to it than not. For instance: we have good weather in one and carnage cataclysm on other, summer sun and winter frost on exact Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), in real time and event. Such so, the nature of human dualemotion does not automatically synchronise with every reasons that are essential for the humans to eradicate poverty, build growth connection, network ideas for peaceful collective growth. — Dual-emotion in here might be poorly construed due to lack of this concept researched further, in the macro permutation of generalization. — This author links the "two factor theory of emotion" to make some connection in the common understanding of how physiological environment and cognitive (intuitive inquiry) search helps us identify our emotional reactions. Basic origin of feelings: Our subjective feelings are a direct response of our brain-secretion of dopamine and other endorphins with according to our experiences with people, ideas, memories, sensory stimuli etc. Still, our emotional intensity could vary on the cognitive

Who is leading Nagas to nowhere?

he leadership of Nagas is being tampered and trampled from time to time. This has given opportunity to many associations and NGOs to take up the role of leadershipin leading Nagas towards peace and prosperity. But many associations and leaders failed due to inner conflicts and misunderstandings. Good will could not withstand misapprehension from within. Adding to this, some tribes found it difficult to get along with other tribes. The cold war continues. This forced them to come together as cluster of tribes to form another association rejecting the leadership of other tribes. Today, we have sufficient and more associations all for the good cause of Nagas! The emergence of numerous associations wanting to take up the cause of Nagas forward is good enough to show the life of Nagas. All associations wanted to undo other associations in order to emerge as the sole leader of Nagas. Who is leading Nagas to nowhere and why is this so? The random emergence of associations has become equivalent to the emergence of different factions. Both are numerically high enough to be unitedorbroken down. Nagas are awaiting a good and peaceful solution, not additional emergence of factions or associations. We do not expect a perfect society, but we hope for a better Nagaland. Nagas must come to a realization that unity is the first step towards peace process and acceptable solution. Different associations and factions if not united can be the cause of our own downfall. Truly, the cause has given birth to numerous factions and associations. This must not continue. Nagas want Peace, Unity, Prosperity and Development. The process towards the full realization of who we are as Nagas with full-fledged identity and dignity is

spectrum of human types of individual. And this could in the later play out to be deterministic when sharing perspective and weighing it on the general scale; making choices; gravitation; dealings; behaviour; normal and natural tendencies; abilities!! etc. It could be fair to say instincts are not independent on their own, but there is science behind it. A brief example is: the migratory birds can instinctively locate where to migrate but the science behind it is that some features include their sensitivity to ultraviolet rays and using the sun as a giant sundial they can trace their way; another well known is the presence of magnetite (magnetic materials) behind their eyes on frontal brain lobe, which they use this as a magnetic compass for homing signal. It is true, every or most human desire for peace and collective growth. But perhaps, this disparity in the spectrum otherwise invoke a contrasting prospectus of opinion which may be leading to major differences... and even more so when there are no acumen jury in-place to screen the intensity of numbers in the perspectives, at least. Deeper variables for the spectrum: It is an open fact people react differently, and for different reasons even, even though the chemistry exist in differing volume during any intimate situations. My best supposition on this could be because during the fusing of the sperm and the zygote, the chromosomes and genome coding split the assimilation of the embryo into a finite but wide array of hybrid gene variety pool, thereby leading to obviously --different and/ or slightly identical individual in the spectrum, but, also procreating the subjective inherents in the emotional wavelength. Can this conundrum be interlinked: Biologically speaking, we cannot or haven't yet attained the level of sophistication in our bio-chem-tech to create a genetic link for the members in the spectrum to virtually interface linear experiences, or provide any auxiliary gadget to create the link. Of course, scientists have been successful to alter the DNA of organisms

the work of every Naga. The goodness of Nagas are no less than other civilizations. Turning our backs on each other will only separate us. We need unity more than goodtalks and wishful dreams. The present Nagaland must be seen from the perspective of the present scenario. How does the present scenario describe the position of Nagaland? A unified or scattered Nagaland? Do all factions lend their helping hands to build Nagaland or are they destroying it day by day? Can all associations unite together to bring acceptable peaceful solution to Nagas? Nagas have not pledged their life to any single faction or association. Thus, no faction or association can take up the cause in the name of all Nagas. It is a sensitive task to be performed with respect for each other. Today, we have lots of self-inflicted problems which do not allow us to go beyond the walls of selfishness and tribalism.We shouldnot continue to weep beside the rivers of Babylon remembering Zion. To which faction or association Nagas gave their consensus to bring amicable solution? I suppose none. Only a joint venture canopen the door of hope for Nagas. Personal initiatives of some groups can be selfish and hollow. It can only bring about greater disaster. The search for Naga’s solution must not end up as self-inflicted disease. The wounds of Nagas are still in the process of healing. It is the desire of all Nagas to march forward in unity irrespective of the many differences that may pull us back. To be is better than to be not. Let this generation see the dawn of sunshine upon Nagas. I pray and wish to see unity among different factions and associations in our venture towards peaceful solution. God bless Nagaland. Rev. Fr. G. L. Khing, Kohima

through genome editing, but they haven't reached the scope of forming pathways linking to consciousness and codes interrelations in the DNA. While a psychological categorization based on extroverted-introverted-subtype: response, thinking, sensing, feeling, perception etc metrics from available tests like Jungian, MBTI, Big Five etc. can help individuals identify their unique group traits, and also create a bridge for other types to understand their some basic characterization, which could help each units to learn viewpoints that occur from external-internal, subjective roots or emotions, local and global etc. which could lead to better and easier understanding among and within the spectrum, as more researchers invest in this field. Conclusion: This conclusion is purely personal because the author and the scientific community are still some steps away from its total exposition. Love could be a process in life to feel connected, belonged, contribute, advance and enhance the experiences of human time. We are constantly drawing our experiences because love reverberates in the collective unconscious. It is a part of human existence. It is the intrinsic journey of struggle, duality, transcendence, evolution, prosperity, peace, salvation, purpose… to and be human. But, we should not submit love to any system or the opposite that encroaches on our rights, freedom, growth and more importantly the advancement through inducing the environment to find a point we can call home. We hear many abstracts on love through quixote protagonist, religions and nihilistic philosophy, but these are all part of the complexity that channels us towards the absolute and serenity, science --that lead us towards the truth. Perhaps we have yet to evolve and learn more, but in such aggrandizing and tipping point to unbridled technological discovery epoch, we are more closer than we are far if we truly heed to the signs and call of our environment to coalesce and fluoresce.

Reader’s Post Sir,

Need of a great healing

Nagaland is riddled with so many social problems and upheavals which is adding more to the fragmentation of the society into various groups. Tribes are fighting against different tribes, while there is infighting within the same tribe and so forth. We talk a lot about the ongoing Naga peace process and so many rhetoric are given by various leaders, writers etc but is anyone listening? Day by day we keep reading about fights and killings showing how sick our society really is and in need of a great healing.

‘Most Kashmiris support abrogation of Art 370’

said. In the removal of Article 370, announced on August 5, “they (Kashmiris) see greater opportunities, a better future, more jobs for youths,” he said. “There is a vocal minority that opposes it. It appears to people that that is the voice of the people. That is not necessarily true,” he told the journalists, comprising Indian and foreign media. He said Pakistan is bent on creating trouble in Kashmir, and would very much like to see unrest in the valley, which would add grist to its anti-India propaganda. In a bid to achieve that aim, Pakistan has sent many terrorists into Kashmir with the intent of causing trouble, and to ensure that normalcy is not restored. “If anybody is interested in restoring normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir it

Abrogation of Article 370 ‘aggression on state’: NC

Muhammad Akbar Lone

Hasnain Masoodi (File)

SRINAGAR, SEP 7 (PTI): Equating the Centre’s decision to abrogate Jammu and Kashmir’s special status under Article 370 with the 1947 invasion of the state by tribal warriors, the National Conference (NC) on Saturday dubbed the move an “aggression”. The party also termed August 5, the day when Jammu and Kashmir’s special status was revoked, a black day in the state’s history. On this day, the Centre had also announced its decision to bifurcate the state into two Union territories -- Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh. “The unilateral and immoral act of backtracking on the constitutional assurances to the state by New Delhi is the same as tribal invasion of Kashmir following the freedom from imperialists. The insidious tribals cared the least about the aspirations of the people the state,” NC Lok Sabha members Muhammad Akbar Lone and Hasnain Masoodi

said in a joint statement. “The act of unilaterally back tracking on the constitutional assurances is no less than an aggression on the state,” the statement said. With the scrapping of Article 370 and Article 35A, the Centre has permanently branded itself as “undependable and deceitful”, the MPs said. The statement said the decision had played with the honour of the state’s people. Lone and Masoodi said the people of the state will never allow the “treacherous onslaught of New Delhi” on the state’s identity to annihilate its character. “The stealing of state’s rights through unilateral and unconstitutional means is no less than an aggressive deceitful conquest and thievery,” they said. The NC leaders also r ubbished the Centre’s claims that doing away with the state’s special status and bifurcating it into two Union territories would open new vistas of development.

is India,” he said. “We will not allow people to become victims of Pakistan’s machinations and its bullets sent across the border. We will do everything in power to protect the people,” he said. Questioned about the alleged human rights abuses by the Army, Doval pointed out that it is only the local police and central paramilitary forces that are deployed to maintain law and order. So, there is no question of atrocities by the Army, whose job is only to fight terrorists. He said according to intelligence reports some 230 terrorists were recorded in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, some of whom have sneaked across the border to create trouble, which includes intimidating traders and local populace to prevent them from going

Gov fetes award recipients DIMAPUR, SEP 7 (NPN): Governor of Nagaland, RN Ravi, has congratulated Satyen Kumar Roy, Mathematics teacher of Mount Moriah School, Ungma Mokokchung on receiving the National Teacher’s Award 2019 from the President of India, Ram Nath Kovind, on September 5, 2019 at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi. According to a Raj Bhavan statement, the governor appreciated the innovative technique used by Satyen in the classroom to help students understand and grasp the subject. Ravi also appreciated the innovative methods of teaching that developed a positive attitude among students towards joyful learning of mathematics. Further, the governor extended his wishes to all recipients of the State Level Teachers Award 2019. Ravi called upon the teachers to assiduously maintain the integrity of their calling, which he said was the highest among all, by their impeccable personal and professional conduct and help Nagaland gain its long overdue glory.

about their business. He cited the case of two Punjabi-speaking terrorists whose conversations with their Pakistani handlers were intercepted in which they were reprimanded for not doing their job properly, and warned that Pakistan would send them bangles if they didn’t do something quickly. Thereafter, the two men went to the residence of a prominent fruit merchant in Sopore, Hamidullah Rather, to intimidate him on Friday, Not finding him there at home, the terrorists shot and injured his 25-year-old son, Mohammad Irshad, in the thigh, and Irshad’s 2 1/2-year-old granddaughter Asma Jaan, who is critical, Doval said. She will be brought to New Delhi for treatment, he said. “Terror is the only instrument Pakistan has to create unrest in Kashmir,” he said, adding that normalcy in Kashmir can be restored if “Pakistan starts behaving” and stops “indulging in subversive propaganda.” Asked what India will do if Pakistan continues with its ways, Doval said “there is a solution to every problem.” He did not elaborate. Doval justified the

restrictions imposed on mobile phone and Internet services, saying they can easily be used by Pakistan and terrorists for subversive activities, but the denial of these services should not prevent people from going about their lives. “Even before Internet came into our lives people were going about their lives doing business,” he said, while acknowledging that people are unhappy with these restrictions. “In any society, people always want more than what they have. But to us his life is more important,” he said adding that 92.5 per cent of the geographical area of Jammu & Kashmir is now without restrictions. Reflecting the government thinking, Doval said Article 370 was nothing but a millstone around the necks of Kashmir, and was preventing the people there from having equal rights that other Indians had. For example, the article prevented many laws from being applied to Kashmir, such as right to education, women’s rights, minimum wages. Article 370 was only a tool of the political class to make money through corruption, he said. “For the common man there was nothing.”

MUMBAI, SEP 7 (PTI): Amid reports that ruling BJP and Shiv Sena are hardening their positions on sharing of seats to contest the assembly polls, Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday said, in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, that the saffron alliance is “inevitable” and it will return to power once again. Speaking at a function here, Thackeray lavished praise on Modi for nullifying Article 370, and gave a call for construction of grand Ram temple in Ayodhya and introduction of Uniform Civil Code. “PM Modi has provided leadership and direction to the country which has immense capacity to progress and develop. I thanked Modi for abrogating Article 370 (which provided special status of Jammu and Kashmir) and the ‘Chandrayaan-2’ mission... Now the nation awaits the construction of a Ram mandir in Ayodhya and (introduction of) Uniform Civil Code,” said Thackeray. “Kashmir is an integral part of India and it will remain so. Modi has proved this in deed and not just in

words,” he added. Thackeray said the country was also proud of ISRO scientists for manoeuvring the ambitious moon mission. “India has immense capacity, and in Modi, the country has got a leadership to give (right) direction,” he said. Thackeray also said the alliance with the BJP will sustain. “The alliance is ‘atal’ (inevitable). We want power.. No doubt about it, but we need it for developing the state. The ‘yuti’ (NDA alliance) will return to power in the state once again after polls. I am glad that PM Modi is providing facilities for growing population in the state,” he said. In his speech, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said the country had never seen a Prime Minister sitting amidst ISRO scientists and boosting their morale. Earlier in the day, Modi gave a long and tight hug to an emotional ISRO chief K

At the BKC, the PM inaugurated three metro lines for Mumbai. He also unveiled a state-of-the-art metro coach, the first metro coach under ‘Make in India’. Meanwhile, Vile Parle BJP MLA Parag Alavani said the Ganesh idol at the LSS is celebrating the centenary year. “Modi also paid tributes to P L Deshpande and garlanded his bust at the LSS. Modiji asked how many times in a day do people who visit the area dedicated to Deshpande in the LSS laugh,” said Alavani. “Pu La Deshpande ka naam bole aur hase nahi to kaise chalega (Deshpande’s name itself evokes laughter),” the MLA quoted the prime minister as saying.

MUMBAI, SEP 7 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday began his one-day tour of Maharashtra by offering prayers to Lord Ganesh in suburban Vile Parle in Mumbai. Modi visited Lokmanya Seva Sangh (LSS), a 96-year-old not-for-profit organisation inspired by the values propagated by freedom fighter ‘Lokmanya’ Bal Gangadhar Tilak, to offer his prayers, as a part of ongoing Ganesh festival. The prime minister went straight to the LSS from the city airport, located nearby. He also garlanded the bust of the ‘Lokmanya’, who had started Ganesh festival at the public level to galvanise people against the British, on the LSS premises. The PM also garlanded the bust of noted Marathi litterateur late P L Deshpande to mark his birth centenary year. “The idea of celebrating Ganesh festival publicly was mooted by Lokmanya Tilak more than a century ago. The festival is now celebrated all over the country and the world,” the prime minister said later while addressing a gathering at Jio World Centre in the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC).

NEW DELHI, SEP 7 (PTI): National Security Adviser Ajit Doval said on Saturday he is “fully convinced” that a majority of Kashmiris support the abrogation of Article 370, and affirmed that restrictions in Kashmir are aimed at preventing Pakistan from creating more mischief through proxies and terrorists. Article 370 “was not a special status. It was a special discrimination. With its abrogation we have brought Kashmiris on par with Indians,” he said. In a wide-ranging interaction with a select group of journalists, Doval said restrictions have anyway been eased progressively, and only 10 of the 199 police districts in Kashmir, Jammu and Laddakh now still have prohibitory orders, while land-line telephones have been restored fully in all three areas.

Mumbai, Sep 7 (IANS): The Reserve Bank of India is currently working with other financial sector regulators like Sebi, PFRDA and Irda to develop an interest rate market where mutual funds, pension and insurance funds could participate in securities lending to deepen market based finance and develop an alternate to bank finance. “IRDA, SEBI and PFRDA too could help development of interest rate markets. For instance, short selling activity could benefit if a wider pool of securities lenders can be developed. “Insurance and pension funds, mutual funds have significant holdings of Government securities that could be used to lent to short sellers. This would avoid short-squeeze incident we saw a couple of years back, apart from generating income for these entities. “We are working with regulators to develop a securities lending product that could enable these entities to participate in securities lending,” B.P. Kanungo, Deputy Governor, Reserve Bank of India recently said at FIMMDA meeting in Moscow. FIMMDA is a representative body of participants in the fixed income market in India. He said the Indian financial sector which mostly has been a bank-based one needs to develop a robust fixed income market to bring in market discipline, to augment bank finance and indeed free up bank finance for uses that cannot access misleading claims about the market directly.

Mumbai, Sep 7 (IANS): Reliance Jio Fibre is unlikely to disrupt the market as the much-awaited pricing and offerings under various plans are not disruptive compared with peers, analyst firm Emkay Global has said. Lack of bundled cable TV offering restricts Jio from disrupting the market and might make it longer to achieve the 20 million subscriber target, the Emkay Global Financial Services said. Competitors are already doing content tieups with OTT (over the top) apps and offering additional data to retain and attract subscribers. “At the current pricing of Jio, we expect limited churn for existing players. Further, we see marginal impact on DTH (direct-to-home) operators and broadcasters,” it said. Premium content and FDFS (first day, first show) are available only for highARPU (average revenue per user) consumers, which should reduce the overhang on multiplexes. There is still no clarity on premium thirdparty OTT apps offered by Jio, says the report. “Based on current pricing plans and content offerings, we don’t believe Jio will expand the market or lead to a huge churn. Our Jio estimates bake in 3 million FTTH (fibre to the home) subscribers in FY21. Progress on subscriber addition will decide disruption going forward,” it says.

But there is scope of improvement at entity-level as far as financial institutions are concerned, which will be tested with introduction of new accounting standards.

Sitharaman said the meeting - the seventh in a series she has had with the tax administrators - also aimed at understanding the

ally strengthens in the final quarter of the year due to the wedding season as well as festivals such as Diwali and Dussehra, when buying gold is considered auspicious. India’s August gold imports plunged 73 percent from a year ago due to a price rally and a hike in import duty, a government source said on Wednesday. Global benchmark spot gold prices were set to mark a weekly decline, but still held above $1,500, having hit $1,557 earlier in the week, the most expensive since April 2013. In top gold buyer China, bullion was sold at a premium of $9-$10 an ounce over the benchmark, unchanged from last week. While buying did pick up slightly, it’s mostly coming from the investment side while jewellery demand is weak, said Samson Li, a Hong Kong-based precious metals analyst with Refinitiv GFMS. Hong Kong premiums were little changed at $0.50$1.15 from last week’s $0.60$1.10 range. Though signs of easing political tensions in Hong Kong boosted sentiment in wider markets, impacts are yet to be seen in terms of activity in the bullion market, traders said. In Singapore, premiums were quoted in the $0.50-$0.60 an ounce range versus last week’s $0.60$0.80.

challenges faced by them. In that context, she stressed on the need for bringing greater technology assistance for the tax administrators and make the process convenient for the assessees. “It would be far more convenient and ease will be provided to the tax assessees if technology is used to collect data and use big data analytics which is today one of the domains in which India excels. It should be used much more than one-on-one personal interactions, which can run rough,” said the minister. She reiterated that from the Vijaya Dashami Day tax assessment will be faceless, with the scrutiny process randomised. Thus the probability of any irksome harassing situation can be cut down. She said from October 1 all notices issued by the tax authorities would have a particular Document Identification number. “Unless the number is there, the assessee is well within his right to treat that notice as not been issued at all.” Asked whether the government had decided to sit with the tax authorities in view of the alleged suicide of Cafe Coffee Day founder V.G. Siddhartha, she described the incident as “unfortunate” but refused to comment any further.

Bengaluru/Mumbai, Sep 7 (Agencies): Demand for physical bullion was subdued in major Asian hubs this week as high prices dampened consumer interest, although some hefty discounts on offer in India led to a slight uptick in buying ahead of a major festival season. Gold futures in India, the biggest bullion consumer after China, were trading around Rs 38,504 per 10 grams on Friday, easing from a record high Rs 39,885 touched on Wednesday. “Demand has been slowly improving,” said Daman Prakash Rathod, a director at MNC Bullion, a wholesaler in Chennai. “But we need a bigger fall for normal demand during the festive season.” However, dealers offered discounts of up to $45 an ounce over official domestic prices this week, the biggest since August 2016, as jewellers held off on fresh purchases. Last week, discounts of up to $24 were offered. The domestic price includes a 12.5 percent import tax and 3 percent sales tax. “Jewellers are not making purchases anticipating a bigger fall,” said a Mumbaibased dealer at a private bullion-importing bank. Jewellers are running business with thin inventories and have to build stocks for the festive season, the dealer said. Demand in India usu-

Kolkata, Sep 7 (IANS): The tax assessment process requires a lot more transparency and has to be process-driven and not discretion-driven, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said here on Friday, as she asked tax collectors not to overreach. “If technology is used, it will be far more convenient to collect tax,” she said. On tax collection target, the minister said that the target has been given after due consideration and any shortfall won’t affect social sector spending. Amid rising demand from the auto sector for more relief measures including a rate cut, Sitharaman said that the proposal to cut tax rates would be discussed by the all-powerful GST Council. “GST rate cuts are a call the GST Council has to take, it is not in my hands,” she said. She said that one more round of measures to boost the economy would come. Further, the government was looking at the challenges faced by various sectors and a response was being formulated after engaging with them. Speaking to reporters after an interaction with tax officials, the Finance Minister said while tax compliance has to be there, she conveyed the message that collectors should not

Intl media react to Chandrayaan-2 Washington/London, Sep 7 (PTI): India’s historic mission to soft-land a rover on the moon’s uncharted South Pole may have gone awry, but the landmark attempt highlighted its engineering prowess and growing ambitions to become a space superpower, the global media commented on Saturday. The New York Times, The Washington Post, The BBC and The Guardian, among many other leading foreign media outlets, all carried stories on Chandrayaan-2, India’s landmark moon mission. American magazine Wired said the Chandrayaan-2 programme was India’s “most ambitious” space mission yet. “The loss of the Vikram lander and the Pragyan rover it was carrying to the lunar surface would be a big blow for India’s space program... but all is not lost for the mission,” it said. The New York Times lauded India’s “engineering prowess and decades of space development”. “While India may not have stuck the landing on its first try, its attempt highlighted how its engineering prowess and decades of space development have combined with its global ambitions,” the report said. “The partial failure of the Chandrayaan-2 mission — an orbiter remains in operation — would delay the

country’s bid to join an elite club of nations that have landed in one piece on the moon’s surface,” it said. British newspaper The Guardian, in its article titled “India’s moon landing suffers last-minute communications loss”, quoted Mathieu Weiss, a representative in India for France’s space agency CNES, as saying: “India is going where probably the future settlements of humans will be in 20 years, in 50 years, 100 years”. The Washington Post in its headline “India’s first attempt to land on the moon appears to have failed” said

the mission had been a source of “immense national pride”. “Social media erupted in support of the space agency and its scientists despite the setback... The incident could now set back India’s growing space ambitions, seen as a reflection of the aspirations of its young population,” it said. “One of the successes of India’s space program has been its cost-effectiveness. Chandrayaan-2 cost USD 141 million, a small fraction of what the United States spent on its historic Apollo moon mission,”

HK braces for another weekend of protests

The rally aims to call for the passage of the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, which would allow US authorities to sanction officials who suppress Hongkongers’ human rights.

Hong Kong, Sep 7 (IANS): Hong Kong was on Saturday bracing for yet another weekend of protests, with the city’s international airport set to be a hub for the demonstrations for a third time in two months. As activists planned to besiege the aviation hub, railway operator the MTR Corporation announced trains on the Airport Express rail link would only ply from the Hong Kong station to the airport - bypassing Kowloon and Tsing Yi stations, while skipping

AsiaWorld Expo - from Saturday morning onwards, reports the South China Morning Post. The pre-emptive measures came as protesters made plans to ditch their trademark black T-shirts and gear to better blend in with travellers, and forge boarding passes to get into the airport. Hong Kong police and the Airport Authority warned against such acts by the anti-government protesters, saying any deliberate obstruction or attempts to

use fake boarding passes could have legal consequences. Anyone found using fake tickets could be charged with forgery and face up to 14 years in prison. On Sunday, another demonstration will be held in Chater Garden, then marching to the US. The rally aims to call for the passage of the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, which would allow US authorities to sanction officials who suppress Hongkongers’ human rights. About 5,000 people were expected to attend, according to the police. Anti-government anger sparked by the nowshelved extradition bill, which would have allowed criminal suspects to be sent to jurisdictions including mainland China, has fuelled protests in Hong Kong since June. Demonstrators have five main demands for the city’s leader Carrie Lam, including formally withdrawing the bill, establishing a commission of inquiry to investigate police conduct and and restarting the city’s stalled political reform process.

Amazon fire: 7 nations sign protection pact Bogota, Sep 7 (IANS): Seven South American countries have agreed measures to protect the Amazon river basin, amid concerns over fires in the world’s largest tropical forest. Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru and Suriname signed a pact, setting up a disaster response network and satellite monitoring, the BBC reported on Friday. At a summit in Colombia, they also agreed to work on reforestation. More than 80,000 fires have broken out in the Amazon rainforest this year. “This meeting will live on as a co-ordination mechanism for the presidents that share this treasure - the Amazon,” said Colombian President Ivan Duque, who hosted the summit in the city of Leticia. Meanwhile, Peruvian President Martï¿½n Vizcarra said: “Goodwill alone is not enough anymore.” The seven nations also agreed to put more efforts into education and increase K

the role of indigenous communities. The countries were represented in Leticia by presidents, vice-presidents and ministers. Brazil’s far-right President Jair Bolsonaro took part by videolink because he was preparing for surgery. The Amazon is a vital carbon store that slows down the pace of global warming, and 60 per cent of it is located in Brazil. The number of fires between January and August 2019 is double that of the same period last year,

according to the country’s National Institute for Space Research (Inpe). President Bolsonaro has drawn intense domestic and international criticism for failing to protect the region. Environmentalists say his policies have led to an increase in fires this year and that he has encouraged cattle farmers to clear vast swathes of the rainforest since his election last October. Bolivia has also seen fires rage across the forest near its borders with Brazil and Paraguay.

the report said. American network CNN described it “India’s historic landing on moon’s polar surface may have failed”. “India’s historic attempt to soft land a rover on the moon may have ended in failure moments... The crowd had celebrated every small step during the controlled descent and the moment the landing was expected to take place, silence descended,” it said. The BBC wrote the mission had made global headlines because it was “so cheap”. “The budget for Avengers: Endgame, for instance,

was more than double at an estimated USD 356 million. But this isn’t the first time ISRO has been hailed for its thrift. Its 2014 Mars mission cost USD 74 million, a tenth of the budget for the American Maven orbiter,” it said. French daily Le Monde mentioned the success rate of soft landing on the moon. It said, “so far, scientists point out, only 45 per cent of missions aimed at alleviating have been successful”. It started its article with words “A broken dream” and said that the Indian newspapers “were quick to titrate their websites, after announcing the worse scenario that could expect the Indian Space Research Organisation”. In the early hours of Saturday, Indian space agency ISRO’s plan to soft land Chandrayaan-2’s Vikram module on the lunar surface did not go as per script. The lander lost communication with ground stations during its final descent. ISRO officials said, adding that the orbiter of Chandrayaan-2 - second lunar mission - remains heathy and safe. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday asked ISRO scientists not to get disheartened by the hurdles in the moon mission Chandrayaan-2 and asserted that there will be a “new dawn and better tomorrow”.

9 Pak denies entry to Kovind’s plane in its airspace Islamabad, Sep 7 (IANS): Pakistan on Saturday rejected a request made by New Delhi to let the airplane of Indian President Ram Nath Kovind to fly over its airspace, the media reported. I sla m a ba d tur ned down the request based on the “alarming human rights situation in Indianoccupied Kashmir (IoK)”, said Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, according to Geo News. Qureshi said Prime Minister Imran Khan had approved of the decision to reject the request and added that “the Indian aggression in IoK” was responsible for Pakistan’s move. In August, it was reported that Khan was considering shutting down Pakistani airspace for India. A complete ban on Indian trade to Afghanistan through Pakistani land routes was also under discussion. Qureshi said New Delhi’s “barbarism” in Kashmir was a serious issue which he would take up with the UN Human Rights Council. He added that “34 days have elapsed since Indian authorities imposed a crippling curfew in occupied Kashmir” before revoking the region’s special autonomy.

Bhutan PM praises ISRO scientists for Chandrayaan-2

Thimpu, Sep 7 (IANS): Bhutanese Prime Minister Lotay Tshering on Saturday praised Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) scientists for their courage and hard work on Chandrayaan-2 and said that despite a setback, he has no doubt that the space agency will achieve the space mission in the future. “We are proud of India and its scientists today. Chandrayaan-2 saw some challenges last minute but courage and hard work you have shown are historical. Knowing Prime Minister Narendra Modi, I have no doubt he and his ISRO team will make it happen one day,” tweeted Tshering. Some students from Bhutan were also present among the over 70 kids in the ISRO Monitoring Centre in Bengaluru, watching the Chandrayaan-2 mission.

Early on Saturday, communications between the Vikram lander and the orbiter got snapped when the former was only 2.1 km away from its designated landing spot on the moon’s South Pole, leading to suspense over the fate of the Rs 978 crore mission. Announcing the snapping of the communication link, ISRO Chairman K. Sivan said that the performance of the lander was as per the plan till it was at an altitude of 2.1 km from the moon’s surface. After the setback, Prime Minister Modi told ISRO scientists not to lose heart. “Whatever you have done till now is no mean feat. The nation is proud of you. You all have served the nation and done a great service to science and mankind. Move ahead with lots of courage. I am with you, hope for the best,” he said.

Iran activates advanced Seoul hit by Lingling, flight operations hit centrifuges to enrich uranium Tehran, Sep 7 (IANS): Iranian authorities on Saturday said that the country has started advanced centrifuges to boost the country’s stockpile of enriched uranium, the latest step in reducing Tehran’s commitments under a 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.. As a third step in Iran’s reduction of commitments under the deal, the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) activated 20 IR-4 and 20 IR-6 centrifuges, Press TV quoted AEOI spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi as saying in a news conference here. “We have started lifting limitations on our Research and Development imposed by the deal, it will include development of more rapid and advanced centrifuges. “All these steps are reversible if the other side fulfils its promises,” he added. Kamalvandi said the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been informed about Iran’s new nuclear steps which it will continue to monitor. Saturday’s announcement comes a day after Iran officially informed the European Union (EU) that it will begin unlimited nuclear research and development (R&D) work. Fo r e i g n M i n i s t e r Mohammad Javad Zarif

told EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini that Iran was further scaling back its commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) due to the inability of its three European signatories -- the UK, France and Germany -- to meet their end of the bargain, Press TV reported. In a statement, Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi said the third step was Tehran’s response to “widespread and continued violations” of the nuclear deal ever since the US dropped out of it 16 months ago in May 2018. Iran had announced the first stage of its countermeasures in May by increasing its enriched uranium stockpile to beyond the 300 kg cap set by the agreement. It took the second step two months later, when it started to enrich uranium to purity rates beyond the JCPOA limit of 3.76 per cent.

Bollywood celebs to ISRO: Don’t give up REN appointed ambassador to promote Naga culture in Northern Ireland, UK A galaxy of top stars including Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Kamal Haasan on Saturday hailed the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) effort to conquer the Moon. Their reactions came after communication between India’s moon lander Vikram and the orbiter got snapped in a last-minute snag when the lander was just 2.1 km away from its designated landing spot on the Moon’s South Pole early on Saturday. Here’s what they have tweeted: Amitabh Bachchan: Moon is 3,84,400 kms and we failed at 2.1 KM that’s 0.0005463% of margin. Even this failure is a foundation for new beginnings. Even this failure has a taste of success in it. Kudos to our Scientists and ISRO S h a h Ru k h K h a n : Sometimes we don’t land or arrive at the destination we want to. The important thing is we took off and had the Hope and Belief we can. Our current situation is never and not our final destination. That always comes in time and belief! Proud of ISRO.

Kamal Haasan: This does not tantamount to failure. In Research and Development there will be a learning curve. This, is that precious learning moment. We will soon be on the Moon, Thanks to ISRO. The Nation believes and applauds ISRO. Ajay Devgn: The country stands together, proud and hopeful! Thank you ISRO.

Taapsee Pannu: Lump in the throat, tear in the eye not coz of anything else but witnessing how beautifully you got the entire nation together in hope and spirit... it’s ok to take a few steps back when u know you are about to make your longest jump. You are our hero ISRO. Sonam Kapoor: Heartening. Bhumi Pednekar: Sci-

ence never has setbacks, it only has learnings. We progress from it and work towards the next achievement. What our scientists have done and achieved, is no small feat and there is only pride in our hearts for these heroes ! Farhan Akhtar: Success and failure will come and go but the determination to succeed will forever remain constant. Proud of you

ISRO and deeply touched by this consolatory gesture from PM Narendra Modi. Karan Johar: Salute and applaud the incredible endeavours of ISRO. So proud of everything they continue to do... So proud to be part of a nation that has the most genius minds. Shekhar Kapur: Lessons of Life : Each step we take is part of our journey. As long as we keep stepping forward, our journey continues. Like a child we may stumble, fall, and get up. Learn and walk again. Chandrayan 2 is a huge success. Its one part of our journey. To explore frontiers of Space. Sonu Sood: Every Indian is proud of you. ISRO, We salute you. Swara Bhasker: Dear team ISRO, we love you to the moon and back and we are proud of you! May you continue to inspire with your efforts! #Chandrayaan2Landing #Chandrayaan2. Aahana Kumra: Happens to the best of us! Don’t give up hope!

Croatia crush Slovakia in Euro qualifiers BCCI issues show-cause notice to Karthik put the icing on the cake for Croatia with a diving header from a tight angle in the 89th minute. A bizarre Pavlo Pashayev own goal fired Wales ahead in the 26th minute as Gareth Bale’s deflected shot looped into the air and went in off the defender’s shoulder with keeper Salahat Agayev coming off his line to smother the ball. Mahir Emreli silenced

the home crowd in Cardiff when he capitalised on Neil Taylor’s blunder and beat Wayne Hennessey at the second attempt, slamming in the rebound after the Wales keeper parried his initial effort. But the Welsh had the last laugh as Bale beat Agayev with a looping header in the 84th minute after a deflected Joe Allen effort fell kindly into his path.

Slovenia end Poland’s perfect record

Croatia players celebrate after scoring a goal during their Euro 2020 qualifying match against Slovakia.

BRATISLAVA, Sep 7 (Agencies): World Cup runners-up Croatia stayed on course to qualify for Euro 2020 after a dominant display gave them a 4-0 Group E win in Slovakia while Wales kept alive their own hopes after a 2-1 home victory over Azerbaijan on Friday. Croatia are level with Hungary at the top of a tight group with both teams on nine points from four games, three ahead of Wales and Slovakia. Azerbaijan have no points.

The Croatians hit the woodwork three times in the first half in Trnava and Slovakia keeper Martin Dubravka pulled off several good saves before Nikola Vlasic fired the visitors ahead in the 45th minute with his first international goal. The midfielder took the ball in his stride and fired a stinging low shot past Dubravka from 20 metres after the home side had survived a fierce Croatian onslaught, with Domagoj Vida blazing a shot over the bar from four

metres. Ivan Perisic, who hit the crossbar and the post in the first half, made it 2-0 less than a minute after the break when his heavily-deflected shot from 25 metres left Dubravka stranded. Striker Bruno Petkovic added the third with a simple close-range finish after a flowing move as Croatia kept their feet on the pedal while Slovakia could only muster a pair of shots from Robert Mak at the other end. Defender Dejan Lovren

Slovenia ended Poland’s 100 percent record in the Euro 2020 qualifiers when goals from Aljaz Struna and Andraz Sporar gave them a shock 2-0 win over the Group G leaders on Friday. Poland had not even conceded a goal in the section heading into the game but their defensive wall was finally breached in the 35th minute, just as they seemed to be taking control. Sporar flicked on Josip Ilicic’s corner and Struna stuck out a leg at the far post to divert the ball past Lukasz Fabianski. The Poland keeper did well shortly afterwards to turn away Benjamin Verbic’s back-flick as Slovenia, who had won only one of their previous 12 competitive games, continued to press. Striker Robert Lewandowski made a record 107th appearance for Poland, although this was later equalled by Jakub Blaszczykowski when he came on in the 70th minute. Slovenia had doubled their lead five minutes before that with a breakaway goal after with a throw-in in their own half. The hosts moved the ball quickly upfield and Sporar ran onto Ilicic’s pass, outpaced the Polish defence and beat Fabianski from a tight angle. Poland are top with 12 points from five games, three ahead of Austria who thumped Latvia 6-0, while Slovenia are a further point behind in third. The top two teams qualify for Euro 2020.

Dinesh Karthik

New Delhi, Sep 7 (PTI): The BCCI has issued a showcause notice to out-of-favour India player Dinesh Karthik for attending a promotional event of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) franchise Trinbago Knight Riders, which is owned by Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. The 34-year-old Karthik, who was a controversial pick in India’s World Cup squad, was seen in Trinbago Knight Riders dressing room and attending their opening CPL match against St Kitts & Nevis in Port of Spain. “Yes, Dinesh Karthik

has been issued a showcause notice by the BCCI. We have received photographs where Karthik is seen in the dressing room of Trinbago Knight Riders. BCCI CEO Rahul Johri has issued a showcause notice asking him to explain why his central contract shouldn’t be annulled,” a senior BCCI official, privy to the development told PTI on condition of anonymity. The BCCI got a screen grab of Kar thik, who played 26 Tests, 94 ODIs and 32 T20Is for India, seen wearing Trinbago Knight Riders jersey and relaxing in the dressing

room along side Brendon McCullum. It is learnt that Karthik, who is the captain of Shah Rukh Khan co-owned franchise Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, didn’t seek any permission from the BCCI to attend the event in the West Indies. “As a centrally contracted cricketer, Dinesh Karthik had no business being seen in a franchise league which is not IPL. His central contract prevents him from being associated with any private league as it has been the BCCI clause for all active first-class cricketers,” the senior official said. Karthik wasn’t available for comment but it is expected that he would be tendering unconditional apology as the National One Day Championship for the Vijay Hazare Trophy starts on September 24, where he is expected to turn up for Tamil Nadu. The Tamil Nadu wicketkeeper-batsman’s international career is believed to be all but over after his failure in the World Cup having scored 8 and 6 in two games that he batted. His susceptible technique in bowler-friendly conditions was badly exposed after his selection in the national team without any proper ODI performance created a furore.

Madrid, Sep 7 (Agencies): Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu on Friday said Neymar “did everything” to force through a return to the Camp Nou from Paris Saint-Germain in the close season, but his club could “not meet” the French champions’ demands. The l o ng - r unning transfer saga ended earlier this week with Neymar staying at PSG, who paid Barcelona a world-record 222 million euros ($264 million at the time) for the Brazilian in 2017. “Neymar did everything possible because it was what he wanted,” Bartomeu told Barca’s inhouse television channel. “I think now he has another strategy, another project and this season he will play for PSG.” His former club could not complete a deal to rescue the 27-year-old from his apparent nightmare in Paris, with Neymar so determined to return that sports daily L’Equipe reported he offered to pay 20 million euros ($22 million) from his own pocket towards the

He was the main leg-spinner in that era. He was a terrific bowler who bamboozled a lot of batsmen. His record is a terrific one.”

Rafael Nadal celebrates after defeating Matteo Berrettini in the semi-final match.

N E W YO R K , S e p 7 (Agencies): Rafael Nadal moved to the brink of a 19th career Grand Slam title on Friday by beating Matteo Berrettini 7-6(6) 6-4 6-1 to reach the U.S. Open final. Nadal put pressure on the underdog Italian’s serve from the start but Berrettini saved six break points to set up a first set tie breaker. Berrettini raced out to a 4-0 lead thanks to some uncharacteristically sloppy play from the Spaniard and the 23-year-old had two set points at 4-6. But Berrettini suddenly got tight and Nadal took advantage, wearing him down in the extended baseline rallies and capturing the

set when the Italian sent a forehand long for his 20th unforced error, leading Nadal to let out a roar. Nadal broke Berrettini on his 10th opportunity to take a 4-3 lead in the second set and cruised to the finish, absorbing Berrettini’s powerful forehands and redirecting them to his weaker backhand side to see off the first time slam semi-finalist. “The first set was a little bit frustrating because I had a lot of break points and you don’t want to be in a tiebreak against a player like Matteo,” Nadal said. “I survived that moment and finally I had the break ... I think I started to play with more calm and

was more aggressive. I just tried to stay focused on the next point.” Nadal tipped his hat to the 24th seeded Berrettini, who came through several epic battles to reach the semis in New York. Next up for Nadal is a showdown with big-serving Russian Medvedev, who was a straight sets winner over Grigor Dimitrov earlier in the day. The pair’s only previous meeting took place in the final of last month’s Rogers Cup in Montreal, where Nadal was a 6-3 6-0 winner. “He’s one of the more solid players on tour,” Nadal said of the 23-year-old, who will be appearing in his

‘Messi free to leave at end of season’ London, Sep 7 (IANS): Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu said on Friday the Spanish giants are not worried about Lionel Messi’s future, despite the Argentinian star being able to leave the club at the end of the season. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner signed a new four-year deal with Barca in 2017, but Bartomeu says he is free to end his contract beforehand. “Leo Messi has a contract through to the 2020/21 season, but the player is able to leave Barca before the final season,” Bartomeu told Barcelona’s in-house television channel. “It’s the same case as with the final contracts that Xavi, (Carles) Puyol and (Andres) Iniesta had. They are players who deserve that liberty, and we shouldn’t worry, as they are very committed to Barca,” he said, adding “we want Messi to play for Barca through to 2021 and beyond. We are very calm.” Messi, Barca’s record goalscorer, is currently out injured with a calf injury, with the team struggling in his absence, managing to collect just four points from their opening three La Liga matches.

Italy needs to fight racism to attract top players: Lukaku MILAN, Sep 7 (Agencies): Inter Milan forward Romelu Lukaku, who was subjected to racist abuse by Cagliari supporters on Sunday, said that Italian football must combat racism in stadiums if it wants to attract the world’s top players to Serie A. The Belgian forward, playing only his second game in Italy after a move from Manchester United, was greeted with monkey chants by fans behind the goal when he stepped up to take a penalty which he converted in Inter’s 2-1 win. Lukaku told the Italian edition of Rolling Stone

magazine that he wanted to concentrate on helping his team win. However, when he was asked if players should walk off the pitch in the case of racist abuse, he appeared to agree. “Yes, I think you have to leave a statement, of course, because it’s something we need to address,” he said. He said that there had also been issues in England recently, adding: “Football is international, football is multicultural, so if you really want to field the best players in the world, you have to make sure you receive them with open arms because

Romelu Lukaku

they’re also willing to adapt to the culture. “I think it’s really important not to discriminate and just appreciate the presence they bring into the country.” Lukaku said in an Instagram post on Monday

that football was going backwards in the fight against racism. In response, the Curva Nord group of hardcore Inter fans posted a messaged on Facebook which claimed that the Cagliari supporters’ behaviour was not racist. “We are really sorry you thought that what happened in Cagliari was racist,” said the group, which has no official connection to Inter. “You have to understand that Italy is not like many other north European countries where racism is a REAL problem. We understand that it could have seemed racist to you, but

it is not like that. In Italy we use some ‘ways’ only to ‘help our teams’ and to try to make our opponents nervous, not for racism but to mess them up.” In response, former Senegal forward Demba Ba said that black players should boycott Serie A. “And here’s the reason why I decided not to play there when I could,” he said, retweeting the statement. “And at that point I wish all the black players would get out of this league!” “It won’t stop their stupidity and hate but at least they won’t affect other races.”
