Pained by the loss of precious lives in Oman road accidents, new ORSA chief seeks to add safety lessons in school curricula to make the new generation more law-abiding and responsible citizens

MUSCAT: “There is almost no Omani citizen who has not lost a family member or a friend in a road accident.”

Ali Al Barwani, the new Oman Road Safety Association (ORSA) chief executive officer, is speaking from personal experience.

The new CEO lost his nephew in a traffic accident.

“I feel bad when I see his orphaned daughter now,” he said, and added that every road death leaves behind a tragedy.

Al Barwani also buried two of his neighbours who lost their lives on Oman’s roads in the same way.

Despite that, he is optimistic that Oman can overcome its hor-

rific road record - using education as his weapon of choice.

“We are keen on adding road safety lessons to schools’ curricula so children will learn about their rights and responsibilities on the road,” he explained.

He said that it was sad to see buses and cars parking dangerously on the stretch of Bausher road that is packed with educational institutions.

ORSA is working closely with public, private and international schools to educate students about road safety, according to Al Barwani.

“When you tell someone that a person has died, the automatic reply is ‘Was he involved in an accident?’. Until this response changes in Oman, I believe this issue will remain a matter of con-

tariqh@timesofoman.com MUSCAT: A convicted drug dealer who once smuggled hard drugs into Oman is now helping young Omanis beat their addictions.

Mohammed, (name changed) ran heroin across the border from Yemen and was caught after a deal went wrong.

He spent time in prison in Oman and is now reformed and helping to run a group that helps young people kick their drug habit.

Mohammed shared his story with Times of Oman in the hope that others might avoid taking the same path.

From hash to heroin or morphine, drug addicts often opt for stronger drugs as a result of experimentation and peer pressure, Mohammed said.

“Drug addicts always start with hashish. When they get into the harder drugs like morphine and heroin, it’s almost always as a result of experimentation. They say they just want to see what it feels like and then get hooked from the first hit,” said Mohammad (name changed to preserve identity), a rehabilitated addict who turned his life around.

“Even though the addicts prefer hashish over other drugs, they need morphine or heroin to relieve them of their pain. It’s easier to get off of hash but not the other drugs,” he added.

Foiled smuggling attempts by authorities are reported often which in turn decreases the amount of narcotics available in the country, however, addicts find ways to get their ‘high’. “Nowadays the authorities are doing a great job busting the smugglers, but most of the time they catch them in possession of hash more than morphine or heroin,” he said. >A2

While serious education is a long-term plan, Al Barwani revealed some of ORSA’s shortterm ones.

“We will invite victims who survived dangerous traffic accidents to talk to younger drivers via social media,” he said, and added that ORSA will also have continuous safety campaigns.

“I am happy to be appointed to this position and I believe there is so much space for improvement,” Al Barwani said.

The new CEO has experience with the oil and gas industry where his career started as an engineer in Oman LNG’s $2 billion project in Sur.

MUSCAT: Improved palliative care could help reduce medical costs by as much as 20 per cent, according to a senior consultant.

Palliative care is specialised care for people with serious, long term illness. It focuses on providing patients with relief and is usually organised at patient’s own home. Also known as end of life care, it is seen by many medical experts worldwide as the global standard for end of life care.

“Generally, you end up with patients receiving unnecessary treatment, which costs money.

Yes, palliative care requires more manpower, but everywhere in the world where palliative care has

been implemented, there were reduction in costs by about 20 per cent in total budgets.

“You’re employing more people, but the patient is going less often to the hospital and symp-

toms are controlled, so there are fewer problems and fewer admissions to the ICU, there are also fewer unnecessary end of life treatments. Giving someone chemotherapy one week before they die is not right,” said Dr. Zahid Al Mandhari, Senior Consultant at the Oncology Department of the Royal Hospital.

To encourage the use of palliative care, more medical professionals in Oman are being trained to offer quality help at home, as the country moves towards a more systematic palliative care structure.

Some 56 patients received palliative care last year,while 180 nurses have been trained across Muscat to offer palliative care services at home. >A2

A1 ‘Pallative care betters life of both patients and their family’ The nurses had training in basic and advanced stages this year, and will be given leadership training in two months time.

According to Dr. Al Mandhari, Oman has the correct infrastructure to introduce palliative care, and only public awareness needs to be encouraged.

“Everything for palliative care in Oman started falling in place about four or five years ago. We, in Oman have a unique situation because we have a very good primary healthcare system. Also, in that sense that we have secondary and tertiary care, so the system is very well established in the country.

“The Oman Cancer Association (OCA) had a mission and vision to establish palliative care in Oman.

The doctors at the National On-

cology centre, including myself, were trained in Canada, and when I came back I saw what is needed, and I see that we do have the infrastructure. We just need to get the knowledge out.

“We are not teaching these nurses anything new, but it’s just a different way of thinking and different approach of how to deal with patients, and basically empowering them.

“The concept of palliative care is directly linked to community nurses, from awareness to prevention and pain management.

We have nurses certified by the American Society of Oncology nursing, which is recognised by the National Institute of Health and the National Cancer Institute, the top cancer centres, and also recognized by ASCO-American

Society for Clinical Oncology,” said Dr. Wahid Al Kharusi, Chairperson of the Oman Cancer Association (OCA).

Maggie Jeans, an OBE whose husband died in November last year from cancer, is promoting the acceptance of palliative care for patients in Oman.

“The goal of such therapy is to improve the quality of life for both the patient and the family. Palliative care can be provided across multiple settings, including in hospitals, in the patient’s home, as part of community palliative care program, and in skilled nursing facilities,” she noted.

Dr. Al Mandhari is currently teaching courses to community nurses in Muscat to help them provide palliative care.

He said that although death is

a certain thing, people are usually frightened to talk about it.

“When people hear about end of life, they hear about death. In palliative care they think that these patients are going to be quite difficult to handle, and obviously death and suffering and the concept of dying isn’t something that people are open to discuss, whether in the medical field or outside,” he said.

He added that palliative care focuses on reducing pain in patients and adding life to days, rather than days to life.

Taking care of patients “Palliative care isn’t just about end of life, it’s a whole system that is in place to take care of patients with chronic illnesses, from the time of diagnosis to the time of death and even beyond, with the bereave-

ment of the family, so it is a continuum of care that’s starts way beyond the time when things have been diagnosed with end of life.

“We set realistic goals with palliative care. If someone has to attend their son’s or daughter’s wedding or graduation, be part of something important, we help them attain those life dreams, rather than think of something long term which might not happen due to several reasons.

“So people can actually do a set of things, rather than spend just another day in the ICU, on a bed with lines and beeps, where they have been kept for one, two or three months,” noted Dr. Al Mandhari.

According to Dr. Al Kharusi, medical professionals, including doctors and nurses, are given ex-

tensive training in palliative care, which is being upgraded from time to time.

“So basically, this concept was started by OCA and, until today, we are progressing in further training medical professionals and upgrading them for the benefit of cancer patients and their families.

“Royal Hospital has opened a ward specialising in palliative care, where we trained some 20 doctors and now keep training them over and over again on pain management. We are trying to achieve a status where the patient can be treated in the comfort of their homes using pain relief, and a holistic approach to life, spiritual healing and attention. They need to be among their people without becoming a burden on their family,” Dr. Al Kharusi added.

A1 Drugs do more harm than < FROM

good: Rehabilitated addict

“We can see it on the news. So a lot of them are addicted to other, harder drugs’,” explained Mohammad.

“If none are available they resort to pills like Tramadol, Xanax, Megadon, just to name a few, for their fix,” he added.

Drug abuse is a first class ticket to a downtrodden life and addicts experience this low form of mental “bliss” for fun until they are caught.

Times of Oman sat one on one exclusively with Mohammad who told us his life story from how he started using drugs to finally realizing that it will do him no good He hopes his story will convince those who are thinking of taking narcotics for pleasure to think again.

“I remember that I used to always sit in the back of the class at school and cause trouble. I sometimes used to throw things at the teachers like slippers, for example. I wanted to show them that I’m tough,” he said.

During the eighth grade he was hanging out with ‘friends’ much older than himself.

“Back then I thought these guys were cool. I wanted to be just like them, so I started bodybuilding and hung out with them often,” said Mohammad.

While in the eighth grade and aged 14, Mohammad had his first cigarette. He would place the cigarette between ice cream sticks so that the smell would not stick to his fingers and chew gum after smoking to avoid any trouble from his parents.

By the twelfth grade (18 years old) that life came true when he smoked his first joint.

Hashish was the gateway to far worse things in his life, which he now regrets.

“My ‘friends’ used to tell me that hashish increases confidence level when talking to girls. I wouldn’t think about what to say only that I’m getting results after I say it. I was dating at the time and I thought it could help; but now I know it doesn’t,” he explained.

After ‘enjoying’ his spell with hashish he was introduced to

harder drugs, specifically heroin and morphine.

“They said that it will enhance my sexuality but now I know it isn’t true and it was just an implanted thought that I believed,” said Mohammad.

When asked how his relationship with his family during this time was, he said, “My family didn’t want anything to do with me. They saw me in the state that I was and basically cut me off, given the fact that they had tried to keep me away from the bad habits, but failed.”

Mohammad was a user of drugs – hashish, heroin and morphine.

He used to smoke and sniff, but he is “thankful that I did not reach the point of injecting myself”.

During the 90’s Mohammad got into the drug trade and started peddling morphine and hashish.

“In the mid-90’s, I used to smuggle 12-20 kilograms of hashish across the border from Yemen and sell them on my way home.

Back then you could get away with anything and I was never caught; security wasn’t as tight as it is today,” Mohammad said.

“Some years later, one day I was trying to sell drugs to a buyer, but the CID were monitoring him and his phone and arrested him.

One of the officers then looked through his phone and saw that we were making a deal. The officer took over the conversation as if he were the man I was talking to and found out where I was,” continued Mohammad.

Mohammad explained that was the first time he was arrested and said that “it felt like a nightmare”.

He was imprisoned for 55 days

and explained that it was the worst feeling he ever had. For a morphine user, the body goes through painful complications if it doesn’t get its regular fix.

“My muscles were cramped, my joints hurt, and my head felt like it was going to explode. I was in such bad shape that I couldn’t even lift a pencil,” Mohammad explained about the pain.

“I really felt like I was an animal inside a cage,” he added.

Mohammad got out of prison on bail but was on parole and monitored by the authorities. He said that the first thought that he had when he stepped out in the open is that he wanted some morphine; but settled for an alcoholic beverage.

“When I left prison and went to drink, I knew it was going to be my last drink ever. I needed to change my life and the drugs weren’t going to get me anywhere,” he said.

Mohammad then went into rehabilitation on his own expense.

His wife and doctor were the only two people supporting him. He said that it was difficult trying to get over the addiction.

“I believe one of the main reasons that I lived the life I had is because my faith was weak.

I was also hanging out with the wrong people and I guess I didn’t feel cared for by my family,” he explained.

Mohammad is now fully rehabilitated and drug free for over three years with an accredited certificate that proves his success.

Times of Oman again asked about his family relationship after his rehab, he said, “It’s better than ever. Now my family doesn’t make a decision without consulting with me first. I have the final say.”

He is the eldest of 10 brothers and sisters.

Mohammad advised the youth to stay away from drugs saying that they will do harm more than good and to learn from his mistakes. He also advised drug users to consider their future and rehabilitate themselves in order to live a full life.

Stop pointing lasers at aircraft, warns ROP “It could result in temporary vision impairment for the flight crew and threaten flight safety,” he added.

He said that children mostly use laser pointers for fun, but teenagers and vandals use them for other reasons, because they fail to understand the danger. The use of lasers is also a failure on the part of parents to monitor their children.

rahuldas@timesofoman.com tariqh@timesofoman.com MUSCAT: Pranksters have been warned by the Royal Oman Police (ROP) not to point lasers at cockpit when an aircraft is taking off or landing, as it could impair the concentration of the pilot and result in an accident.

Aircraft subjected to laser pointers from people on the ground could increase the risk of accidents and loss of lives, especially during the crucial stages of take-off and landing.

Some pilots who experienced lasers coming from the ground said that people should refrain from such behaviour, as it could affect the pilot’s concentration and lead to disastrous consequences.

Crucial phase Jan Dvorak, a Czech pilot who was under contract to fly for Oman Air, had a laser pointed at his cockpit as he and his pilotin-command were in the crucial W E AT H E R

phase of landing the aircraft.

“During my stay in Muscat, I have experienced it three times. It was during my return flights from Cairo to Muscat. When we were approaching the ILS (Instrument Landing System) on runway 26R (rights) in Muscat, there was a green laser pointer aimed at our cockpit. I think the source of these lasers was somewhere in the old market and harbour,” Dvorak said.

Landing is the most crucial part of any flight, where the slightest distraction or mistake could cause a major accident if the pilot does not react in time.

Error could be fatal “It demands the highest level of concentration and even the smallest error could be fatal. These laser pointers are dangerous because they could easily distract you and change your reference and view of the airstrip, and it could also dam-

reji@timesofoman.com MUSCAT: Wadis in Rustaq, some 132 kilometres from Muscat, are flooded with water after a downpour in the afternoon, a weather enthusiast said.

“Wadis are overflowing,” Bader Ali Al Baddaei, an administrator of www.rthmc.net, a local web-based forum that discusses weather in Oman, said.

Oman Meteorology Department had forecast isolated rain and occasional thundershowers.

Warnings Sharing the same concerns, Brigadier-General Adel Ahmad Al Lawati, Director-General of the Royal Oman Police Air Wings Unit, said during an interview that pointing a laser towards an aircraft while it is taking off or landing, as well as flying at a low altitude, is dangerous and could cause a delay in air traffic.

“There are warnings issued to pilots from time to time from global aviation associations about possible lasers pointed at aircraft during flights,” Brig. Gen. Al Lawati said.

age your eyes,” Dvorak said.

“These people must understand that the aircraft can carry one of them, a relative or a friend, and such acts really increase risks for the flight. In that case it is not fun anymore, but a serious situation,” he added.

Law Citing the law to determine the punishment for such acts, Brig.

Gen. Al Lawati said, “If we revert to the Oman Penal Code regarding assault on transport routes and other establishments, Article 275 states that persons committing this crime will face imprisonment from three months to three years and a fine of OMR10 to OMR500 will be imposed on whosoever deliberately vandalises public routes and other establishments in a way that makes them unusable or unsafe.”

The punishment includes vandalism on guiding mechanisms used for ships and aircraft, as well as other forms of transportation, he added.

Article 276 also states that if such an assault results in extensive damage to an individual or transportation equipment, the accused will face imprisonment from three years to fifteen years, and will be executed if the assault results in the death of a person.

O

mani women often find themselves sidelined despite the fact that they have taken major strides when it comes to education in the last four decades.

Demographically, women now outnumber men in Oman as the latest statistics indicate that women have a slight majority of 51 per cent compared to men.

When it comes to the education system, about 65 per cent of the total secondary school graduates are female students who joined various degree courses in colleges and universities.

Perhaps the drawback in the workforce is not that women do not get a chance in education but that they don’t make it in large number to the workplaces.

Less than 25 per cent of the total workforce in the private sector comprises women. That means about 30 per cent of these educated women do not pursue a career after graduation, instead opting to marry and become home makers.

The well known Omani adage that “a woman’s work is at home” rings true in this respect.

Very few of those who join the workforce reach management positions, but even when they do, they are sidelined when it comes to climbing the ladder further.

Most opt for teaching jobs, managing front desks, promo-

Women have repeatedly asked for a quota that would assure them a fixed number of representatives in the Shura but that has not happened yet tions, sales, clerical or administrative work at minor level.

Notwithstanding that they comprise half the population,women still miss out on political representation.

Only one woman is serving in the current session of the Majlis Al Shura.

At any time, the highest number of women who ever served in any single Shura Council was two, and that too was back in the 1990s. The assembly is 84 strong.

Quota issue Women have repeatedly asked for a quota that would assure them a fixed number of representatives in the Majlis Al Shura but that has not happened yet. It is not an unreasonable demand since many other countries have a similar system. Some argue that quotas were not democratic but then a heavily male dominated parliament cannot be termed as good for democracy, either.

Women’s issues are ignored politically and socially, and they also remain a disadvantaged group professionally.

There cannot be an idea of equal rights to all in a country if half of its population goes unrepresented. Women are

wondering if male bigotry will always be prevalent and standing in their way to independence.

But it is not just independence that is at stake for them but their legitimacy as citizens to make changes and ensure their voices are heard.

The harshest truth for them is that they know where they stand as of now. Their battle is not even half way but they know they are going to be in it for quite a long time until they get the recognition they deserve.

Perhaps their legitimacy mainly hinges on the new generation which is much more educated than their parents and has more fire in them to make themselves heard.

Perhaps the older generation of the 80s gave up too soon because they blamed the men for blocking their way to the top. Young women of today do not choose that path. They don’t even collide head on with men.

Instead, they rely on their resources to prove they are worth the top jobs on their own merit.

However, it will not be smooth sailing even now for the new generation. Indeed, they have honed their ways of getting there, though they are having to chart the same stormy waters but are using a more resilient vessel to get to the other side.

With the new momentum gathering pace, women would like to send a message that men’s dominance in the political and professional arenas will soon be over for good.

That will pave the way for a true equal opportunity society in the Sultanate.

Russian fighter jets pound Aleppo as offensive continues AMMAN: Russian war planes struck rebel-held areas north of Aleppo on Saturday as the army shelled the besieged old quarter in a major offensive, rebels and a monitoring group said.

Russia was reported on Friday to be sending more warplanes to Syria to ramp up its air campaign as the United States said it had not yet given up on finding a diplomatic resolution.

The latest strikes come 10 days into a Russian-backed Syrian government offensive to capture eastern Aleppo and crush the last urban stronghold of a revolt against Syrian President Bashar Al Assad that began in 2011.

Saturday’s air strikes focused on major supply lines into rebelheld areas - the Castello Road and Malah district - while fighting raged in the Suleiman al Halabi neighbourhood, the front line to the north of Aleppo’s Old City.

Rebels led by the main extremist rebel group Ahrar Al Sham said on Saturday they had regained several areas in the Bustan Al Pasha district seized a day before, a strategic point north west of the city. The army, aided by hundreds of allied militias who have arrived in Aleppo, have backed up the air

campaign with a ground offensive on several frontlines to break rebel defences inside the city.

Violate truce In a telephone conversation with US Secretary of State John Kerry on Friday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Moscow was ready to consider more ways to normalise the situation in Aleppo. But Lavrov criticised Washington’s failure to separate moderate rebel groups from those the Russians call terrorists, which had allowed forces led by the group formerly known as the Nusra Front to violate the US-Russian truce agreed on September 9.

The United States made clear it would not, at least for now, carry through a threat made on Wednesday to halt the diplomacy if Russia did not take immediate steps to end the violence.

Moscow and Assad spurned the ceasefire to launch the new offensive, potentially the biggest and most decisive battle of the civil war, which is now in its sixth year.

PARIS: Iran has kept to a nuclear deal it agreed with six world powers last year limiting its stockpiles of substances that could be used to make atomic weapons, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) told French daily Le Monde.

Confirming the findings of a confidential report by the UN agency seen by Reuters last month, IAEA Director-General Yukiya Amano said Tehran had observed the deal which was opposed by hardliners inside Iran and by sceptics in the West.

“The deal is being implemented since January without any particular problem,” he told Le Monde in an interview published on Saturday.

“There was a small incident in February: the stock of heavy water very slightly exceeded the limit set - 130 tonnes. But we immediately signalled that to Iran which took all the necessary

Black money scheme draws Rs652.5b in disclosures Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said the latest scheme should be viewed along with the numerous other steps the government has taken to ensure unaccounted wealth is declared and more people become tax compliant

NEW DELHI: Unaccounted wealth worth Rs652.5 billion was declared by 64,275 people under the Income Declaration Scheme with scope for upward revision once the full tabulation is completed, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley announced on Saturday.

Given the tax rate, penalty and surcharge of 45 per cent, this can fetch the government a little under Rs30 billion.

In the previous 1997 scheme, the taxation figure was about Rs 97.6 billion.

Briefing reporters on the scheme that was available from June 1 till the midnight of September 30, the finance minister

said the tax authorities were still tabulating the declarations, both in physical and electronic form.

“So this (declarations) could be revised upward once the full tabulation takes place,” Jaitley said, adding that the money collected would go into the Consolidated Fund of India and will be used for social security purposes.

“Roughly, the declarations work out to Rs10 million per declarant.

Some will be higher, some will be lower,” he said, but ruled out any revelation of the names of the people who have availed of the scheme. “We won’t give any specific information on tax declarants.” Within minutes of

the media briefing, Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded the achievement.

‘Tremendous work’ “I compliment all those who chose to be tax compliant in the Income Declaration Scheme-2016. This is a great contribution towards transparency & growth of the economy,” Modi said in a tweet.

“Central Board of Direct Taxes Chairperson Rani Nair and the team have put in tremendous effort on all aspects relating to IDS2016. Congrats to them,” he said, while also praising Jaitley and his team for the “tremendous work” they have made.

India to ratify Paris climate deal, president gives assent NEW DELHI: India is all set to ratify the Paris climate deal on Sunday, with President Pranab Mukherjee giving his assent to a proposal approved earlier by the government, making India one of the key countries to help bring the pact into force.

“We will ratify the Paris deal in the UN tomorrow. The president has signed it. The Union Cabinet has already approved it,” Environment Minister Anil Madhav Dave told reporters here.

He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced on September 25 that India will ratify it on October 2 on the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.

“This (decision) was taken after a lot of deliberations and with a view to give the world a messege...India is fast becoming a super power,” Dave said.

“Call it international pressure or a sort of competition, this morning European Union has also decided to ratify it, which is a good thing,” Dave said.

The Union Cabinet had given its nod to ratifying the Paris climate deal on September 28, days after Modi announced this at BJP’s National Council meet in Kozhikode. The move is expected to give momentum to the implementation of measures at the international level to control global warming.

India’s ratification on Sunday will further underline its responsive leadership, which is committed to global cause of environment. The pact will come into force after it has been ratified by at least 55 countries which account for 55 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions.

India’s decision to ratify the agreement will take the number of cumulative level of emission of countries that have ratified the agreement so far to 51.89 per cent as its total emissions is 4.1 per cent of the global emissions.

Dave said after EU has decided to ratify it, the total emissions amongst countries which have

ratified the agreement will go up to 61 per cent. Paris Agreement was adopted by 185 nations last year on December 12 and India signed it in New York on April 22 this year.

A total of 191 countries have signed the Paris Agreement so far. However, India has decided to ratify the agreement “in the context” of its national laws, availability of means of implementation and “its own assessment” of global commitment to combating climate change.

“While agreeing to ratify the Paris agreement, the Cabinet has also decided that India should declare that it will treat its national laws, its development agenda, availability of means of implementation, its assessment of global commitment to combating climate change, and predictable and affordable access to cleaner source of energy as the context in which the agreement is being ratified,” an official statement had earlier said. - PTI

The Finance Minister said the latest scheme should be viewed along with the numerous other steps the government has taken to ensure unaccounted wealth is declared and more people become tax compliant.

In this regard he mentioned the setting up of the Special Investigation Team to probe such cases, the rehaul of the Benami Act to help the state take over such assets and the follow-up on expose by various agencies of wealth stashed abroad, along with a specific scheme in this regard.

“In such large numbers people came to disclose income in eight figures. They have real-

ised that they will benefit by tax compliance. Considering all the steps taken by government cumulatively, these are very significant amounts,” the finance minister said.

“The amount received from other schemes, and from foreign black money scheme, is over and above this (the declaration scheme).This is an important step towards more and more people becoming tax-compliant. This I see as a positive development,” Jaitley said.

He had categorically said more than once that the latest scheme was not an amnesty.

“This is not an immunity scheme. There is tax involved and there is penalty,” he said, referring to the tax of 30 per cent, a penalty of 7.5 per cent and a surcharge of another 7.5 per cent, which was prescribed for the declarants.

“In the 1997 scheme, the taxation figure was about Rs97.6 billion. The average per declarant was Rs9.7 million. Now, the effective rate of taxation is 45 per cent, but in 1997 the effective rate of taxation was in single digit. The two schemes are entirely different.”

He also made it clear that there will be no witch hunt by the authorities.

“The department does not intend to be vindictive. Declarants will be treated under relevant tax laws, irrespective of filing under the Income Disclosure Scheme.

Regarding the action henceforth, this is an issue of tax department.

Individual taxmen will not take vindictive action.” - IANS

FIGHTING TERRORISM

‘Can’t be recipient of terror attacks always’ ON BOARD SPECIAL AIRCRAFT: Vice President Hamid Ansari on Saturday said action against Pakistan was necessary as India can’t be the recipient of terror attacks all the time and do nothing about it.

Talking to reporters on his return from his two-nation visit of Nigeria and Mali, he said, “The prime minister had said ‘we will do it and do it in the time and method of our choosing’. “How you do that is something left to the judgement of the government and the professionals in charge of this.”

Ansari said, you “can’t be the recipient of terrorist attacks all the time and do nothing about it. Government has stated very clearly why action was necessary, terror launch pads were identified and taken care of”. He said both the African countries he visited also expressed their resolve in fighting terrorism.

“Both Nigeria and Mali have seen very serious terror attacks, many of which crossed national borders,” he said. He also said that India wants restructuring of the legal framework by adopting a comprehensive convention on international terrorism.

Ansari said the Malian leadership apprised him that the West African country will not be party to any anti-India stand. During his address to the National Defence College in Abuja, Ansari had stressed on the need for societies that stand for peace and humanism to increase their cooperation and strengthen efforts to prevent supply of arms to terrorists, disrupt terrorist movements, and curb and criminalise terror financing. - PTI

PAKISTAN US GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

Magnitude 5.4 quake hits Pakistan, no casualties reported ISLAMABAD: An earthquake magnitude 5.4 struck northern Pakistan’s Kaghan Valley on Saturday, the US Geological Survey (USGS) said, and local officials said there had been no immediate reports of casualties or damage.

The epicentre of the tremor was located about 5km north of the town of Naran and 150km north of the capital Islamabad, according to the USGS. It occurred at a depth of 43.4km.

The quake hit many areas including Islamabad, Rawalpindi,

Peshawar, Malakand and Hazara among others.

“We have so far received no reports of casualties or damage. We are still coordinating information, but so far there are no such reports,” said Muhammad Shahryar, an official at the provincial disaster management authority.

Tremors have been relatively common in the area since October 2015, when a 7.5 magnitude earthquake hit northeastern Afghanistan, killing at least 200 people in Pakistan and Afghanistan. - Agencies

$2b Gwadar-Nawabshah LNG project approved The Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC) sanctioned the mega scheme along with five other projects

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Friday approved the strategically important Gwadar-Nawabshah LNG terminal and pipeline project at a cost of $2 billion that will eventually link the country’s gas network with the Iranian system.

The Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC) – the country’s highest project approval authority – sanctioned the mega scheme along with five other projects.

In total, the ECNEC approved six projects costing Rs281 billion.

Some of the projects cost were revised upward, indicating flaws in planning and execution.

The ECNEC approval for pipeline project was necessary to negotiate the terms of $1.4 billion loan that Islamabad is keen to get from Chinese Export-Import (Exim) Bank.

The terms of the loans carries implication for the cost of the project, which is currently estimated at $2 billion or Rs203.3 billion, according to officials of the Ministry of Planning and Development.

Pakistan has hoped that the Chinese Exim Bank will provide 85 per cent of the financing under government-to-government mode. The Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract will be given to a Chinese company.

In phase-I, the pipeline will follow the coastal pipeline corridor, which was formally established for the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline.

In phase-II, a 90-kilometre patch will be constructed from Gwadar to Pakistan-Iran border to tie the national network with Iranian system, according to the

The financial analysis of the project shows that the project will be viable, if it operates at its full designed capacity of 1,500 mmcfd.

The project is expected to be completed in two years (20162018), according to a handout of the Finance Ministry.

It said the key objective of this project is to overcome the shortage of natural gas supply by importing LNG at Gwadar.

The Economic Affairs Division has agreed to discuss the financing arrangements for this project with EXIM Bank China, said the Finance Ministry.

The ECNEC also jacked up the cost of procurement of 58 Diesel Electric Locomotives to Rs16.3 billion. The procurement will be completed by December 2016.

The proposed locos will replace 50 over-aged locomotives and will be used to haul freight and pas-

senger services along with High Capacity Wagons fitted with air brakes and roller bearing.

With the completion of the project the capacity of Pakistan Railways will improve many times, the meeting was informed.

The ECNEC approved phase three of the 100 small dams in Balochistan project at a cost of Rs7.8 billion. The project will complete in three years’ time and help in managing flood flows.

The highest project approval authority also cleared Southern Punjab Poverty Alleviation Project at a revised cost of Rs4.7 billion including Rs4.1 billion foreign loan.

The project will help improve the standard of life in four less developed districts of Punjab -Bahawalpur, Bahawalnagar, Muzaffargarh and Rajanpur. The International fund for Agriculture Development has helped in the fi-

nancing of the project through a soft loan of $40.13 million. The project will help reducing poverty in the areas of southern Punjab with assistance in income generation, increasing agricultural productivity, improved livelihood opportunities, providing vocational training specially to women and building physical infrastructure to improve the quality of life.

The ECNEC also approved the Golen Gol Hydropower project, having 106MW generation capacity, at a revised cost of Rs29.1 billion. The project is being constructed in the district of Chitral, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. The government is borrowing Rs10.7 billion from foreign lenders to finance the project.

ECNEC also gave nod to Neelum-Jhelum, CPEC road projects.

The project will be connected with the national grid with a 198 km transmission line which include 132kv transmission line from Golan Gol to Timurgarha passing over Lowari pass (145km) and 132 kv single circuit line from Taimurgarh to Chakdara (53 km).

The ECNEC also allowed the Peshawar Electric Supply Company to construct seventh Secondary Transmission Line and Grid Stations at a cost of Rs20 billion. - Express Tribune

Imran threatens to shut capital LAHORE: Taking his anti-graft mobilisation campaign right up to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s home turf, a furious Imran Khan on Friday delivered a speech that tore through the alleged corruption of the Sharifs and targeted India at the same time.

With tens of thousands of supporters watching the firebrand Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman delivering his speech at Adda plot, close to the palatial residence of Sharif in Raiwind, Imran said he would give ‘two strong messages’ — one to Nawaz over his alleged corruption and the other to Indian Premier Narendra Modi regarding threats to Pakistan.

Imran gave Sharif time till Muharram to “either present himself for accountability or allow state institutions to take action against him”, failing which the PTI will bring the federal capital to a standstill”.

Hitting out at the prime minister over his ‘corruption’ and ‘stolen money’ as revealed in the Panama Papers, Imran said he would paralyse and oust the gov-

ernment in Islamabad if prime minister does not present himself for accountability till Muharram.

“The Panama leaks is not an allegation but a proof of Nawaz Sharif’s corruption that is all out in the open. Some Rs8.5 billion have been spent on the security of Nawaz Shairf’s Jati Umrah.

The staff that PML-N have employed for Jati Umrah, is double than that of the White House,” Imran said.

Imran also warned the government that his party would not let them rule after Muharram if the prime minister is not held accountable for the Panama Papers controversy.

The much-hyped rally — which also spawned criticism from opposition groups — was aimed at announcing the party’s future strategy.

Friday’s rally is the last such political gathering called by the party against the PML-N. “We will not hold any more such rallies and instead opt for something else,” the PTI chief said.

“If the situation at the border was not tense, I would have asked you all to stay back here till we get justice,” he told the cheering crowd.

Nevertheless Imran said his party now intends to shut the federal capital and paralyse it – a reprise of its anti-rigging campaign in 2014. He took a swipe at state institutions as well, warning them that they ought to take action before the party was forced to move to Islamabad after Muharram. - Express Tribune

WORLD E X PA N S I O N

Protesters hold ‘die-in’ at Heathrow against third runway plans LONDON: More than a hundred people demonstrated at London’s Heathrow Airport on Saturday, including dozens who took part in a “die-in” at one terminal, just weeks before Prime Minister Theresa May’s government is due to decide where to build a new runway.

After a decade of reviews and U-turns, the government is expected to rule in mid-October on whether to build a third runway at Heathrow, Europe’s busiest airport, or at its smaller London rival Gatwick.

Expansion plans have been opposed by residents and some lawmakers at both locations.

Pollution levels Protesters lay on the floor of Heathrow’s Terminal 2, with many wearing white masks in a so-called die-in to highlight the impact of air travel on climate change and pollution levels.

One woman wearing a mask lay next to a banner which read: “Stay Grounded.

No New Runways.” Others took part in a cycle ride nearby, wearing red T-shirts with the message: “No 3rd runway”, according to images posted on Twitter. A Heathrow spokeswoman said the airport continued to operate as normal during the demonstration.

Extended ban Heathrow has said it will comply with an extended ban on night flights and meet European air quality rules if the project gets the green light.

It has also said it will meet 11 conditions set out by Britain’s Airports Commission, including a requirement on air quality which states that new flights will only be permitted if air quality does not breach EU limits. — Reuters

Capturing Lashkar Gah in the strategic southern province of Helmand, would give the Taliban their first provincial capital since the northern city of Kunduz fell briefly a year ago

LASHKAR GAH (AFGHANISTAN): Taliban militants have advanced closer to Lashkar Gah, capital of the strategic southern province of Helmand, pushing into a farming district on the other side of the river from the town, officials said on Saturday.

Though the Western-backed government in Kabul pushed the insurgents back with the aid of US airstrikes in August, it is struggling to reverse the tide of the fighting.

Capturing the city would give the Taliban their first provincial

capital since the northern city of Kunduz fell briefly a year ago and would reinforce the impression that government forces are losing momentum in the war.

The insurgents, who control large sections of the opiumgrowing province, are now in Bolan, an agricultural zone that links Lashkar Gah with Gereshk, a town that straddles the main Highway One, as well as Marjah district centre to the west.

Local officials said security forces were engaging the insurgents and were expected to begin offensive operations soon though they faced strong opposition.

BAE systems to begin building new UK nuclear submarines LONDON: Britain’s ministry of defence said on Saturday that construction work will begin on the country’s new nuclear submarines, announcing nearly $1.7 billion of new investment with defence firm BAE Systems.

Lawmakers backed renewing Britain’s nuclear weapons system earlier this year, a project regarded as key to maintaining the country’s status as a world power following its vote to leave the European Union.

“The investment will support delivery of the Government’s commitment to retain the Trident-based continuous at sea deterrent - the ultimate guarantee of our safety - and build the new fleet of four Successor Ballistic Missile submarines,” the defence ministry said. BAE Systems said the first new submarine will enter service in the early 2030s. — Reuters

CALAIS (FRANCE): French police fired tear gas and water cannon at migrants and protesters who gathered in defiance of a ban on Saturday outside the shanty town near Calais known as “the Jungle”, local authorities said.

About 200 migrants and some 50 protesters assembled under a bridge to protest against living conditions in the nearby camp that President Francois Hollande has vowed to close by the end of the year.

Police clashed with migrants

as they pushed them back to the camp while activists threw stones at the security forces.

Another 150 protesters who left Paris on Saturday aboard four coaches were blocked by police at a toll road about 30 miles (48 km) short of the northern port.

Thousands of migrants fleeing war and poverty, from Afghanistan to Syria, have converged on Calais over the past two years.

Taliban spokesman Qari Yousuf Ahmadi said government forces had taken heavy casualties.

The Taliban has tightened pressure on Helmand for much of the past year and is now estimated to control or contest most of the districts in the province, which supplies a major proportion of the world’s illegal opium.

Last week, frustrated by police and army units that have left a string of checkpoints across the province without fighting, the governor of Helmand Hayatullah Hayat threatened to put troops on trial for abandoning their positions. — Reuters

Why Children Need their Daddy?

Story Farzeen Ashik

W

e know that there are some fathers who think that raising the child is primarily the concern of the mother. After all she is the primary caregiver, isn’t she? Especially for infants, fathers rarely venture into the mother’s territory for fear of doing something wrong or because they believe their presence is not that critical at that point. Studies across the world have shown that the presence of a father in a child’s life is irreplaceable. There is a reason why a child is raised ideally by two parents rather than one. Each one brings something different to the table and complements each other, thereby giving the child a more conducive childhood.

Here’s why daddy is matchless: ĊŗŗChildren whose fathers play an active role right from infancy are seen to be more socially adept, have better grades, and have more achievements. ĊŗŗInfants, whose fathers handle them more are seen to be more emotionally secure and calm tend to be more explorative and curious. ĊŗŗFathers bring more arousal, excitement, and unpredictability into their interactions with their children, especially toddlers. Children love to roughhouse with daddy.

ĊŗŗFor teenagers a father’s presence keeps them away from predators and bad influences. Girls whose fathers are actively involved in their lives are seen to have lesser issues with their peers.

While boys model their father’s behaviour to a large extent. ĊŗŗA father’s presence is conducive to higher IQs and less behavioural problems. Girls are seen to have higher self-esteem and boys show less aggression, impulsiveness, and more self-direction. ĊŗŗDads need to be more involved in everyday activities and not just one-off things like a yearly holiday.

They need to lend a hand in disciplining the child as well. Studies show that fathers tend to have a firmer hand when it comes to discipline. ĊŗŗChildren need stability and predictability. Fathers bring that balance into their lives. Fathers are more than just parents — they are role-models, coaches, mentors, and teachers for their offspring. ĊŗŗDads encourage competition and instil confidence in their children to try out new things and push the boundaries. While they are protective they also help nudge the child out of the comfort zone. ĊŗŗFathers cloak the family in a mantle of security and dependability, which is very important for normal childhood and adulthood.

So, calling all fathers out there — Remember parenting is a team-sport. Your wife may be a Super-Mom but she cannot replace you. There are some things that children can only learn from their dads.

Silent Stroke Is Not So Silent

Join the Breast Cancer Fight This month join the Pink Promise Events initiated by the Ban Cancer group and Barakath Al Noor Clinic.

B

reast cancer is a silent invader, and a dreaded disease which scares every woman. The incidence is increasing every day. However, due to the growing awareness through breast cancer awareness programmes, early detection is possible. The main aim is to educate women about breast cancer and spread awareness throughout the country. Due to lack of awareness, women detect it late and the treatment is delayed. Therefore the prognosis is poor and quality of life gets affected. Breast cancer is not only for a particular age group or gender, it can happen to anyone and at any age and no single cause is identified. However, it is curable if detected early.

Women give least importance to their own health, so it is important the family including the husband, father, and children take responsibility

for the women to go for regular checks.

Here in Oman on October 1, the Pink Promise Evening was held at the Safeer Ballroom in Zakher Mall, a special event for invitees who can be Ambassadors to spread the awareness on breast cancer. Fatma’s Pink Promise App was also launched to help the women to do self breast examination and regular checkup.

The Pink Parade–Beach-Walk will be held every Friday of the month, from 6.30 to 7.30pm at Shatti Al Qurum Beach, where pink would be the dress code and it is to spread awareness about the importance of fitness and exercise in breast cancer. This walk will continue throughout the month from October 7 till November 4. The main aim is to spread the importance of early detection by monthly self examination, regular check ups and prompt treatment. Healthy living – nutrition,

exercise, and relaxation play a major role in preventing the disease. Other events to follow in the coming weeks.

Doctor’s Tip of the Week 30 minutes brisk walking every alternate day will help reduce the incidence of breast cancer by 30%.

(The BAN Cancer group and Barakath Al Noor Clinic initiate the Pink Promise Events to spread awareness on breast cancer. BAN Cancer group is a group set by individuals from all walks of life in Oman to help spread the awareness and reduce the incidence to achieve a breast cancer free Oman.) -lifestyle@timesofoman.com Dr Rajyashree N. Kutty, director and specialist surgeon, Barakath Al Noor Clinic can be contacted at +968 2448 9599.

Silent strokes, ones that happen in your brain without you even knowing, can lead to fullblown strokes as well as cognitive impairment and dementia.

The most common depiction of a stroke is a person unable to move on one side of their body with slurred speech, but studies show that many stroke victims had silent strokes previously, that, as the name indicates, went unnoticed. The damage caused by the silent stroke, however, can be seen through advanced imaging techniques.

Since no one is suggesting that everyone get an annual brain scan, the next best thing is to understand the risk factors for silent stroke and control those. Two of those risk factors, high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation and blockages in the carotid arteries are simple to screen for and have effective treatments.

The upside to all this is that there are steps one can take to prevent silent stroke, says Dr Andrew Manganaro, a vascular surgeon and chief medical officer for Life Line Screening in the US. "What it takes is a measure of awareness, routine screening and, if needed, treatment to prevent the blood clots that can lead to this long-term damage to the brain. Silent strokes are 30 to 40 per cent more prevalent in women than men and the results can be serious. Impaired movement, muscle weakness, depression, memory problems and cognitive problems are all associated with silent stroke.

So when atrial fibrillation, high blood pressure or carotid blockage is present in a patient, that should be an indicator to her physician that she's at risk of a silent stroke,” Manganaro says.

The key to preventing stroke is to get a full picture of your vascular health, so you can begin treatment and monitoring.

Manganaro recommends routine screenings for the damaged arteries that indicate vascular problems. Testing for high blood pressure, carotid blockages and the presence of atrial fibrillation, along with peripheral arterial disease screening and abdominal aortic aneurysm testing are safe and accurate.

These screenings can help you and your doctor get a full picture of your vascular health, says Manganaro.

To cut your risk of stroke, treating hypertension with medication and lifestyle changes can help, Manganaro said.

Control your weight, reduce your consumption of red meat, eat more plant foods, and talk to your doctor about starting an exercise programme.

If you smoke, make it a priority to quit. Smokers have double the risk of stroke than nonsmokers, because smoking can lead to excessive blood clotting.

If you or your family members have noticed recent changes to your memory facility or mobility, consult with your doctor. In some patients, these have been symptoms of a silent stroke, but in any case it will benefit you to find the root cause and begin treatment.-BPT

Whether you like the taste of carrot juice or not, you cannot refute the health benefits that drinking it provides you. Important things like healthy skin and eyesight are easier to retain with a daily dose of carrot juice.

C

arrot juice can do wonders for your skin. It works to refresh skin tone and helps to keep the skin supple and smooth.

Carrots have an abundant reserve of vitamin A, a vitamin that is needed for overall skin health. Lacking a sufficient daily supply of vitamin A, the skin may become dehydrated and rough. Premature wrinkles are also a concern.

A lot of individuals who know this resort to vitamin A supplements.

However, by adding carrot juice to your diet, you can stay away from costly supplements and acquire your vitamin A organically.

Poor sight is one more side effect that is related to ageing, though persons of all ages can and do experience vision troubles. If it takes you a while to concentrate on objects after you glance at them, then it might be due to a vitamin A shortage. Likewise, if it takes your vision a long time to adjust to your environment when you go from the brilliant outdoors to a dark interior, then you may call for more vitamin A than what you are currently getting. Fortunately, carrot juice is a wonderful way to get all of the vitamin A you need.

Now, possibly you cannot tolerate the flavour of carrots but still love the benefits they propose. Then you’ll be delighted to know that you can add carrots to almost any juice recipe you like and they’ll grant you all of those healthy advantages without adding much “carrot-taste” at all to the mix. This is a great technique to get the best of both worlds.

As well as bringing a cornucopia of vitamin A to your drink recipes, carrots will also help make your juices sweeter without adding a great deal to the actual flavour. So if you notice yourself utilising sugar or aspartame to sweeten a few (or all) of your juices, then you truly must give carrots a try.

Everything you can do to hack out sugars and imitation sweeteners is well worth doing if you need to keep a healthy lifestyle.-Artipot

“The players are confident of achieving that goal and add to the top honours we won in the inaugural edition of the Asian Beach Games,” he added referring to Oman’s success in the 2008 Games held in Bali, Indonesia.

Speaking about their final match opponents, he said: “Ja-

pan are a good team and we have played them in several matches in the past few years. Our players have to show same commitment and play with the same confidence as they did against Afghanistan in the semifinal to achieve our goal.”

Oman, who are taking part in only four disciplines in the Asian event, have so far won just two medals - a gold and a silver - both won by sprint star Barakat Al Harthi-led Omani athletes. Barakat opened Oman’s medal account with a 60m gold before leading the relay squad to 4x60m silver medal.

Liverpool move second, Chelsea back to winning ways LONDON: Liverpool recovered from a poor start to beat Swansea City 2-1 and move second in the English Premier League table on Saturday and Chelsea got back to winning ways at Hull City.

Outplayed for half the match by struggling Swansea and trailing to an early goal by Leroy Fer, Liverpool were a different proposition after the break and took the points thanks to a late James Milner penalty.

FORMULA ONE

SCOREBOARD

KOLKATA: Pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s devastating five-wicket haul after a late batting blitzkrieg put India firmly in command as they reduced a hapless New Zealand to 128 for seven on the rain-hit second day of their second Test match at Eden Gardens on Saturday.

The Indians, resuming at 239 for seven, produced a purposeful batting performance in the morning session with Wriddhiman Saha (54 not out) scoring his third Test half century to help the team reach 316 all out in 104.5 overs.

In reply, the Kiwis were tottering at 128 fro seven, still 188 runs behind and facing the prospect of another big defeat after the 197run drubbing in the opening Test in Kanpur.

The wrecker-in chief was Bhuvneshwar with a sensational five for 33, his fourth five-wicket haul in Tests, from 10 overs that broke the back of New Zealand’s batting.

The Kiwis faced 34 overs in all on the day after a bulk of the final session was held up due to wet ground

the Indian bowlers were incisive against their rivals in the post-lunch session, reducing them to 85 for four.

However, weather played spoilsport close to tea and an early break was taken which eventually lasted two and a half hours.

Included in place of Umesh Yadav, Bhuvneshwar was at his furious best bowling a tidy line and length as he removed stand-in skipper Ross Taylor (36) in his first over after play was resumed following a two and half hours delay.

Bowling a beautiful line, Bhuvneshwar dismissed Taylor after he jabbed the ball at first slip and took two wickets in two balls by removing Mitchell Santner (11) and Matt Henry (0) off successive balls. Mohammed Shami (one for 46) bowled with pace and bounce to tighten the noose at the other end. - PTI

SEPANG: World champion Lewis Hamilton seized a dominant pole position in qualifying for the Malaysian Formula One Grand Prix with a storming lap on Saturday that was almost the fastest ever at the Sepang circuit.

The Briton lapped the 5.5-kilometre track in a stunning one minute and 32.850 seconds, less than half a second off the quickest lap set by Fernando Alonso in 2005 during the V10-engine era, on a hot but overcast evening.

“Just a huge thank you to the team who continue through the whole year to improve,” Hamilton, chasing his 50th career win, told reporters.

“Great work done coming into this weekend today the car felt fantastic. I really enjoyed the lap.

(But) could’ve been faster.”

The pole was the 57th of Hamilton’s career and eighth of the season. It was also his Mercedes team’s 51st pole from 54 races.

The German squad have started all but one race from pole this year.

Hamilton’s championshipleading team mate Nico Rosberg will start alongside him in second after a scrappy lap that was 0.414 seconds off Hamilton’s mark and only slightly faster than Max Verstappen, who was third quickest for Red Bull.

German Rosberg, who has an eight-point advantage over Hamilton in the overall standings, had a strong start to the weekend.

He topped Friday’s opening session but could not match his team mate when it really mattered, making mistakes at the altered final corner on his flying lap.

“Lewis’s lap was very quick so it was always going to be difficult,” he said.

“I would’ve come close but unfortunately I had a mistake in the last corner. Something just wasn’t going right in the last corner,” said the 31-year-old.

Australian Daniel Ricciardo will start Sunday’s race alongside Red Bull team mate Verstappen from the second row.

Sebastian Vettel, winner in Malaysia last year, leads an all Ferrari third row in fifth ahead of team mate Kimi Raikkonen.

Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg put their Force India squad on course to extend their lead over Williams in their battle for fourth in the standings. They will start seventh and eighth, while the Grove-based squad’s drivers Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas line up 10th and 11th.

Jenson Button will start his 300th grand prix ninth after making it through to the final part of qualifying in his McLaren.

Hamilton heads into Sunday’s race chasing his 50th career win and hoping to end Rosberg’s streak of three wins from the last three races.

“As we know from this year second place doesn’t mean victory is not possible tomorrow,” said Rosberg who seized the lead from pole-sitter Hamilton at last month’s Italian Grand Prix and went on to win. “We’ve seen that so many times so still very optimistic for tomorrow.”

It was a match par excellence which El Naggar won 11-13, 11-7, 9-11, 11-9, 11-7, 13-11. The scoreline is an indication of the thrilling and tense battle that ensued between the two. The final result could have gone either way, but El Naggar’s perseverance and temperament prevailed over the flamboyance of the Omani lefthander.

IN THE FINAL: Defending champion Mohammed El Naggar.

In the sixth game cliff-hanger, As’ad clawed back from 4-8 down and saved a match point to level at 10-all. He gained game point which El Naggar saved and converted the next match point to enter the final.

Wardany Hamdy’s route to the final included the scalp of third seed Al Khalil Al Brashdi in the pre-quarters and Ismail Al Suleimani whom he defeat-

ed 11-9, 11-3, 11-2, 11-7 in the semifinals. The Egyptian combo of Mohammed El Naggar and Wardany will take on the Omani duo of Sami and Maher Al Jabri in the men’s doubles final also to be played this evening.

Players bet on match result: Redknapp LONDON: Former Premier League manager Harry Redknapp said his players bet on the result of one of their matches, according to the newspaper investigation that has seen England coach Sam Allardyce lose his job.

The Daily Telegraph’s undercover reporters filmed Redknapp discussing the game although the 69-year-old later told the newspaper he did not think it was against FA rules at the time.

However, English Football Associaiton (FA) rules ban players from betting on matches they are involved in and managers are expected to report any misconduct.

Redknapp said he was not aware of players betting on the match at the time. The newspaper did not say which club was involved.

Former West Ham United, Portsmouth, Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur and Queens Park Rangers manager Redknapp met reporters posing as representa-

tives of a Far East firm that wanted to break into English football’s billion-pound transfer market.

Redknapp has denied any wrongdoing.

The newspaper’s revelations have so far led to Allardyce and Barnsley assistant manager Tommy Wright losing their jobs. - Reuters

Crude output cut to help prop up prices Opec’s decision is a positive step for a recovery in prices, which is expected in the range of $45 to $55 per barrel in the fourth quarter, from $40 to $45 a barrel now, analyst says

Times News Service MUSCAT: Opec’s recent decision to cut crude oil output will eventually lead to a recovery in prices in the international markets, market analysts said.

The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) last week decided to reduce output to 32.5 million barrels per day from current production of 33.24 million bpd.

“We are looking at $50 per barrel as the base price for next year.

Eventually, we will see a firm trend in the oil market.

The price of crude will hover in the range of $50 to $60 per barrel next year, which will be better for the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries to plan their budgets,” said Kanaga Sundar, head of research at Gulf Baader Capital Markets.

However, he noted that a formal decision will be taken at the Opec meeting on November 30.

The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries Opec produces more than 40 per cent of the world’s oil, so co-ordinated production cuts can have an immediate impact on global supply STUDENTS WORKSHOP

Muscat bourse to host major two-day forum on Tuesday MUSCAT: Eleventh edition of Muscat Securities Market (MSM) Forum will kick-off on Tuesday under the patronage of Abdullah bin Salim Al Salmi, Executive President of the Capital Market Authority (CMA).

The two-day forum will be organised by the MSM, in collaboration with the Sultan Qaboos University (SQU), represented by the College of Economics and Political Science.

Educational exhibition Activities of the forum will include educational exhibition for the participating entities, and some corners devoted to activities of the students at the College of Economics and Political Science to showcase the best student experiences in investment, as well as displaying researches related to the stock market sector.

On the sidelines of the forum, a workshop will be held on the financial analysis.

The workshop aims to enable students to understand and explain the method of calculating financial statements, in addition to enabling them to link what they learn in the curricula with the practical side of the workshop.

Government and private institutions, including CMA, Muscat Clearing and Depository Company (MCDC) and brokerage firms operating in the field of securities will take part in the forum.

The forum will be attended by officials from SQU and MSM, as well as officials in the capital market sector, and SQU students. — ONA

VITAL RESOURCE: If strictly implemented in the first half of 2017, and if all else remains constant,

the production quotas announced on Wednesday should be worth $7 to $10 a barrel to the oil price, Goldman analysts wrote in the report. - Bloomberg file picture

and demand balances. “No one was expecting this move. We need to see how member countries will go about it,” added Sundar.

A positive step Echoing a similar view, Joice Mathew, head of research at United Securities, said that the decision is a positive step for a recovery in prices, which is expected in the range of $45 to $55 per barrel in the fourth quarter, from $40 to $45 a barrel now.

However, he said that a couple of factors such as the extent of shale producers coming back to the market and the mechanism applied by the Opec in cutting production of member countries, will be crucial in achieving a re-

covery in prices. Clarity on these issues will emerge only after the Opec meeting on November 30.

In fact, the step to cut output clearly points to a surplus in the market as the countries were following a strategy of high production in the last two years, prior to the decision.

Goldman Sachs Group said Opec’s deal to cut output could add as much as $10 a barrel to oil prices, though it remains sceptical along with other banks on how the accord will be implemented, according to an agency report.

The plan to reduce production to a range of 32.5 million to 33.2 million barrels a day “will likely provide support to prices, at least in the short term,” Goldman said

in a report, but maintained its crude forecasts for 2016 and next year. Uncertainty in the market will persist in the coming months, and output quotas could still be exceeded even if the proposal is ratified at a formal gathering in November, according to Goldman.

If strictly implemented in the first half of 2017, and if all else remains constant, the production quotas announced on Wednesday should be worth $7 to $10 a barrel to the oil price, Goldman analysts wrote in the report.

Members still have to sort out who will cut what, and the group usually overshoots its objectives by almost 5 per cent, according to Goldman, which will wipe out any effect from lowering targets.

CENTRAL BANK OF OMAN REPORT

Oman’s economy slows on sustained decline in oil prices MUSCAT: With the sustained drop in crude oil prices, there was a slowdown in the economy in 2015 as well as in the first few months of 2016, according to the monthly bulletin released by the Central Bank of Oman (CBO).

Preliminary national accounts data for Oman pointed to a 12.2 per cent decline in the first quarter of the year in comparison to the first quarter of the previous year. Nominal gross domestic product (GDP) derived from the petroleum sector contracted by 34 per cent and that from the non-petroleum sector registered a decrease of 2.4 per cent.

Omani crude oil fetched an average price of $35 per barrel during the first half of 2016 compared to $59.3 per barrel during the first half of 2015.

On the fiscal front, the Government of Oman introduced several positive reform measures supported by external borrowings, in addition to other sources of funding to tackle the fiscal deficits. With oil prices continuing to remain low, the current account, which registered a deficit in 2015 is expected to be in deficit mode in 2016 too.

With inflation based on the average annual consumer price index (CPI) remaining low at 0.8 per cent during the period January — July 2016, the CBO continued with its accommodative monetary policy stance and made revisions to the reserve requirement leaving more money in the hands of banks to facilitate lending requirements.

The CBO has been continuously reviewing the liquidity situation and no significant pressures have been noticed in the banking system. The banking sector remained resilient supporting economic diversification initiatives and credit needs.

The total assets of conventional commercial banks increased by 4.2 per cent to OMR29.3 billion

in July 2016 from OMR28.1 billion a year ago. Of the total assets, credit disbursement accounted for 66.2 per cent and increased by 8.3 per cent at the end July 2016 to OMR19.4 billion.

Credit to the private sector increased by 10 per cent to reach OMR17.2 billion at the end of July 2016. Conventional banks’ overall investments in securities stood at OMR2.6 billion at the end of July 2016. Investment in Government Development Bonds and Government Sukuk increased by 56.4 per cent over the year to OMR922.6 million at the end of July 2016.

Banks also invested OMR398 million in Government Treasury Bills at the end of July 2016. Conventional banks’ investments in foreign securities stood at OMR711.3 million in July 2016.

Aggregate deposits held with conventional banks registered a modest rise of 0.5 per cent to OMR18.4 billion in July 2016 from OMR18.3 billion a year ago.

Government deposits with conventional banks declined by 10.3 per cent to OMR4.8 billion.

Deposits of public enterprises increased by 13.1 per cent to OMR1.2 billion during the same period. Private sector deposits, which constituted 65.9 per cent of total deposits with conventional banks, increased by 3.9 per cent to OMR12.2 billion in July 2016 from OMR11.7 billion a year ago. The core capital and reserves of conventional banks stood at OMR3.7 billion at the end of the July 2016, a rise of 12.2 per cent over the previous year.

Islamic banking entities provided financing of OMR2.1 billion at the end of July 2016 when compared to OMR1.4 billion a year ago. Total deposits held with Islamic banks and windows registered a significant increase to OMR1.9 billion in July 2016 from OMR1.2 billion outstanding at the end of July 2015. — ONA

MARKET Bidding underway for mega spectrum auction in India

Deutsche Bank settlement overshadows US equities NEW YORK: Deutsche Bank will likely cast a pall over equity markets next week as the largest German lender navigates a possible multi-billion dollar settlement with the United States Department of Justice (DoJ) over the sale of mortgage-backed bonds.

Deutsche shares traded in the US hit a record low on Thursday, falling as much as 24 per cent since the DoJ asked the bank to pay $14 billion to settle charges related to its sale of toxic mortgage bonds before the financial crisis.

But the stock had its best day in five years Friday, on record volume, after a news agency reported that Deutsche was nearing a much-lower $5.4 billion settlement with the DoJ. Analysts at Morgan Stanley estimated Deutsche could pay about $6 billion to settle with the DoJ. Stocks on Wall Street broadly tracked Deutsche over the past few days and will likely continue to do so, analysts say.

Leading operators, including Reliance Jio, Vodafone, Idea Cellular and Bharti Airtel, are in the fray for frequencies worth Rs5.63 trillion that are crucial for nextgeneration telecom services in India

NEW DELHI: Telecom operators in India have started bidding for airwaves in the country’s largest spectrum auction in which airwaves worth Rs5.63 trillion have been put up for sale.

According to sources, the second round of bidding for airwaves is under way and all participants placed bids in the first round.

Industry players have called the base price of airwaves in the auction as ‘unreasonably priced’.

As much as 2,354.55 megahertz of frequencies are being put up for auction in seven bands -- 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2300 MHz and 2500 MHz. The radiowaves can be used for 2G, 3G and high-speed 4G mobile services.

Leading operators, including Reliance Jio, Vodafone, Idea Cellular and Bharti Airtel, are in the fray for frequencies that are crucial for next-generation telecom services.

There is no end limit set by the government for the auction, but the bidding will be between 9am to 7pm everyday except on Day 1 when it started at 10am. Tata

SEVEN BANDS: As much as 2,354.55 megahertz of frequencies are being put up for auction in seven bands — 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2300 MHz and 2500 MHz. The radiowaves can be used for 2G, 3G and high-speed 4G mobile services. – Bloomberg News

Teleservices, Reliance Communications and Aircel are also in the race for buying spectrum.

The auction conducted in 2010 for 3G airwaves in the 2100 Mhz band has been the longest that lasted for 34 days. All spectrum auctions have been conducted on the same model. The Department of Telecom will release results of daily bidding at the end of every day.

While Jio, Airtel and RCom have pan-India 4G spectrum, Vodafone and Idea Cellular have an opportunity to bid for airwaves to expand their 4G service footprint for competitive advantage in the market.

Idea has 4G spectrum in 10 out of 22 telecom circles in the country. Vodafone, which has just brought in Rs47,700 crore equity investment from its parent firm,

has spectrum for 4G services in 9 telecom circles.

Government has fixed a panIndia reserve price of Rs2,873 crore for spectrum in 1,800 MHz band, Rs 3,341 crore for 900 MHz, Rs5,819 crore for 800 MHz, Rs3,746 crore for 2,100 MHz, Rs11,485 crore for 700 MHz and Rs817 crore each for 2,300 MHz and 2,500 MHz bands.

Premium band The premium 700 Mhz band is to be auctioned at a reserve or base price of Rs11,485 crore per Mhz. The cost of delivering mobile services in this band is estimated to be around 70 per cent lower than 2100 Mhz band used for providing 3G services.

A company interested in buying spectrum in 700 Mhz band will

need to shell out a minimum of Rs 57,425 crore for a block of 5 Mhz on a pan-India basis.

This band alone has the potential to fetch bids worth over Rs 4 lakh crore.

Jio is only company in this auction which is eligible to bid for pan-India spectrum in 700 Mhz band.

The total value of spectrum at the base price being put for auction is more than double the gross revenue of the telecom service industry. Telecom operators had a gross revenue of Rs 2.54 lakh crore in 2014-15.

The government still expects that even with a high price, the players will bid in an effort to gain an edge. The last auction held in March 2015 fetched the government record bids of over Rs 1.1 lakh crore.

Market capitalisation “While it is in the headlines, it is an overhang,” said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at Wunderlich Securities in New York.

“Once they come to some resolution on the difference between what they are charged, $14 billion, and what they are going to pay, call it $5 or $6 billion, the market is going to be afraid there is a problem,” Hogan said.

The report said that Deutsche’s market capitalisation of near $18 billion makes it much smaller than its United S tates peers like Bank of America , at $155 billion, or Citi, at $133 billion.

However its trading relationships with the world’s largest financial institutions make a potential breakdown at Deutsche a bigger risk to the wider financial system than any other global bank, the International Monetary Fund said in June. - Reuters

MILESTONE

China’s yuan joins elite club of IMF reserve currencies’ basket BEIJING: China’s yuan joins the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) basket of reserve currencies on Saturday in a milestone for the government’s campaign for recognition as a global economic power.

The yuan joins the United States dollar, the euro, the yen and British pound in the IMF’s special drawing rights (SDR) basket, which determines currencies that countries can receive as part of IMF loans. It marks the first time a new currency has been added since the euro was launched in 1999.

The IMF is adding the yuan, also known as the renminbi, or ‘people’s money’, on the same day that the Communist Party celebrates the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949.

“The inclusion into the SDR is a milestone in the internationalisation of the renminbi, and is an affirmation of the success of China’s economic development and results of the reform and opening up of the financial sector,” the People’s Bank of China said.

China will use this opportunity to further deepen economic reforms and open up the sector to promote global growth, the central bank added. The IMF announced last year that it would add the yuan to the basket, so actual inclusion is not expected to impact financial

sector reforms will fade after its diplomatic success, despite repeated reassurances from Beijing it will continue with the process.

markets. But it puts Beijing’s often opaque economic and foreign exchange policy in the international spotlight as some central banks add yuan assets to their official reserves.

Reserve currency criteria Critics argue that the move is largely symbolic and the yuan does not fully meet IMF reserve currency criteria of being freely usable, or widely used to settle trade or widely traded in financial markets.

US Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has said he will formally label China a currency manipulator if he wins November’s election.

China stunned investors by devaluing the currency last year and the yuan has since weakened to near six-year lows, adding to worries about already feeble global growth.

Some China watchers also fear that Beijing’s commitment to further market opening and financial

Market-driven US Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said on Thursday the yuan was “quite a ways” from true global reserve currency status. The new IMF status recognises the “enormous” change in China in the last 10 years that had made the yuan more open, but Beijing still had work to do to make its currency and its economy more marketdriven, he said.

“Being part of the SDR basket at the IMF is quite a ways away from being a global reserve currency,” he said. Capital Economics said inclusion of the currency in the IMF’s SDR basket will have minimal impact on foreign demand for yuan assets, so “offers little support” for the currency.

“If anything, the risk is that official intervention to keep the renminbi stable ahead of its inclusion will subsequently be paired back, allowing for renewed deprecation,” it said in a research note.

The IMF fixed the relative amounts of the five currencies in the basket for five years, based on their average exchange rates over the past three months. – Reuters

MARKET Sultanate offers promising investment environment with the proposed Gulf railway, as well as its investment potentials will be a key base to attract logistics projects and will open a base for complementary industries of existing industries in the GCC countries,” he further said.

of incentives and facilities

MUSCAT: Investment environment in Oman is promising and attractive in light of political and social stability and the presence of a strong infrastructure, including its wealth of natural resources and geographical location, officials at the Arab Chambers of Commerce and Industry, said.

They affirmed that the Sultanate’s government provided the right climate locally and overseas by providing package of incentives

and facilities and approve a set of stimulating laws and legislation to the growth, prosperity, and guarantee of investments, in addition to creating national qualified cadres.

The officials pointed out that the Sultanate started the promotion of a range of national investment programmes, including the Special Economic Zone of Duqm (Sezad), Sohar Industrial Area, Salalah Port and Free Zone, and the investment opportunities in various governorates, such as manufacturing, information technology, knowledge-based industry, tourism, fish farming and services.

Dr Abdurrahman bin Abdul-

lah Al Zamil, chairman of Zamil Group of Saudi Arabia said, “the Sultanate has a promising future with its potentials, including the confidence on the leadership, qualified Omani human resources that work in all fields, strategic location and natural resources.”

“The Sultanate has, a promising and attractive investment environment, especially in the logistics sector and other sectors, including tourism and industry,” he added.

“Duqm Port is strategically located on major international shipping lines and its potential to attract giant container ships and linking it

SOHAR

Strategic ports Abdulwahab Mohammed Al Wazzan, vice-president of board of directors of the Kuwaiti Chamber of Commerce and Industry said, “There are good, fruitful and promising investment opportunities in the Sultanate and the investors should go to Oman to put their right investments.”

“The Sultanate’s ports are strategic ports located on the joints of the global business lines and countries of the region should mutually benefit of those ports,” he pointed out.

Sheikha Hind bint Salman Al Khalifa, board member of Bahrain’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry said, “The Sultanate has many resources that attract investors from all over the world, and no doubt that the infrastructure is available for investors to be reassured on their investment.”

She praised efforts of the Sultanate’s government to prepare the climate in a bid to attract in-

vestments in many areas and other potentials, including the ports and industrial zones close to the export ports, transportation lines and trade.

Roland Jabbour, chairman of Australian Arab Chamber of Commerce and Industry said, “The Sultanate has a very positive reputation in Australia and there is a continuous growth in the level of trade exchange.”

He explained that Oman is considered as a positive environment for trade and investment, for what it has of political and social stability, security, many promising growth opportunities that encourage investment, such as the sectors of education, tourism, infrastructure and free zones.

He added that the Australian Arab Chamber of Commerce and Industry seeks to highlight the Sultanate and its relations with Australia by organising economic seminars and forums to introduce investment opportunities in the Sultanate of Oman.

There is an expected visit by an Australian trade delegation to the Sultanate as part of its tour to the region, and there are plans to organise an investment conference for both sides at the end of next year, he said. — ONA

Central bank bonds get overwhelming response

NEW PHASE: The Oman Antimony Roaster continues its emphasis on strong environmental creden-

tials combined with an increasing focus on the provenance of supply sources. – File photo

Oman’s first antimony project makes progress Times News Service MUSCAT: Oman’s first antimony project, which is being developed

by Strategic & Precious Metals Processing (SPMP), is making steady progress.

Oman Antimony Roaster (OAR) project is being built by Strategic & Precious Metals Processing in Sohar and Tri-Star Resources has a 40 per cent stake in SPMP. “SPMP’s most notable developments announced to date include the strengthening of its management team, confirmation that the project is now entering the procurement and implementation phase, and the strategically

important and exciting inclusion of a revenue-enhancing gold plant within the overall specification for the facility,” Tri-Star Resources said in its financial result.

Procurement phase Last month, Strategic & Precious Metals Processing said that it is making significant progress as it moves further into the procurement phase of the Oman Antimony Roaster (OAR).

Further to the recent ordering of furnaces, SPMP has awarded further key contracts to deliver the main antimony roasting equipment including the rotary kiln and dry and wet gas handling

circuitry, representing the core operational equipment packages for the OAR. The key milestones ahead for the project include combining the delivery and assembly of the core roasting and gas handling process equipment; site and utility readiness; staffing build-up and training, and commissioning material feed test-work.

The OAR continues its emphasis on strong environmental credentials combined with an increasing focus on the provenance of supply sources. In addition, the OAR’s design capability to treat gold in feed concentrates is expected to prove a significant differentiator.

MUSCAT: An overwhelming response was received by the Central Bank of Oman (CBO) from banks for its recent development bond issue.

The CBO announced the results of the 50th issue of Government Development Bonds (GDB) as follow: Announcing the results of the 50th issue of Government Development Bonds (GDB) the CBO said the total value applied for competitive bids amounted to OMR195.98 million while the total value allotted for the bonds amounted to OMR100 million.

Google to tap Lazard to review potential bid for Twitter NEW YORK: Google is working with a financial adviser to consider a potential bid for Twitter, as the social-media company continues to explore a sale, according to a person familiar with the arrangement.

In tapping Lazard, Google hasn’t indicated it will definitely make an offer for Twitter. But the move suggests that Google is evaluating the option, pitting the search giant against other potential bidders including Walt Disney and Salesforce.com.

Gina Scigliano, a Google spokeswoman, declined to comment. A Lazard spokeswoman couldn’t be reached for comment.

Twitter hired Goldman Sachs and Allen & Company to solicit potential buyers after receiving interest from Salesforce, people familiar with the situation have said.

The company, which has seen user growth stagnate for more than a year, has been trying to reshape its identify by focusing on video and live events.

Google, the largest subsidiary of Alphabet, has long been viewed as a natural suitor for the struggling social-media firm known for its 140-character Tweets.

The companies have cut deals around advertising and mobile publishing products.

Google’s recent focus, under chief executive Sundar Pichai, has been on artificial intelligence and cloud storage, not social networks.

n Denmark, borrowers on average owe their banks about three times their disposable incomes (an OECD record).

The country went through its most recent boom-bust cycle in 2006-2008, when home prices slumped more than 20 per cent from peak to trough, triggering Denmark’s worst recession in a generation. Now, prices in Copenhagen are higher than at the frothiest point of the previous boom. Nordea, the Nordic region’s biggest bank, says there’s reason to fear this might be the next bubble.

Danish household assets are still worth more than their debts. But “asset prices can fall and too high a debt, particularly if undertaken with variable loans, can be much more difficult to service if rates increase,” Helge Pedersen, chief economist at Nordea’s Copenhagen office, said in a phone interview.

“I am afraid that liquidity issues may show up,” he said. “High gross debt financed by variable loans can lead to a liquidity issue and problems to service debt. And if asset prices fall, that’s a bad cocktail.”

So far, there is little sign the housing market is cooling down. Apartment prices are now 7.4 per cent

above their 2006 peak, according to Statistics Denmark data. House prices are fast approaching their pre-crisis peak after jumping 2.3 per cent last quarter from the first three months of the year.

The development has followed Denmark’s descent into the once unthinkable realm of negative rates.

Its central bank, which defends the krone’s peg to the euro, has acknowledged its policy rate probably would not go positive until 2018 at the earliest. Danish short-term mortgage rates are negative, as are 10-year government bond yields.

Pedersen says the combination of ultra-low rates and rising house prices provides fertile ground for speculative behaviour to start sprouting.

“It’s important to remember that Danish households are among the most indebted in the world,” Pedersen said in a note. “And even though our assets are worth more than our debt, it is relevant to underscore the risks of further increases in debt.”

“It’s notoriously difficult to predict a bubble,” he said. “But it is also a fact that most bubbles were not predicted before they burst. That’s why it’s so important to sound the alarm now.”
