Ravi and NSCN (I-M) member, collective leadership, V.S Atem, in separate conversations have made it clear that there is no such deadline for signing a permanent agreement between the government of India and the NSCN (I-M).

In a telephonic interview with Nagaland Post, R.N. Ravi rubbished various reports about signing a final agreement within September 2017. “Any talk about setting a date for agreement is mere speculation,” he said.

When asked if there was any period set for arriving at a final agreement, Ravi replied “No, we can’t give the date. We are moving fast but we can’t set the date.” On reports that government of India has

agreed for a separate flag for Nagalim, Ravi said “NSCN has raised the issue of flag. It is not being settled as yet.”

On whether he would be taking other Naga Political Groups (NPGs) onboard before finalising a final agreement, the Interlocutor reiterated that he remained committed to inclusive solution. Towards this objective, Ravi said he would be happy to engage all the stakeholders with constructive orientation to seek solution.

Nagaland Post also contacted senior NSCN(I-M) leader and member of collective leadership V.S. Atem regarding speculations on the expected final agreement. He told Nagaland Post “I cannot say the exact date and time but we are trying to sign as early as possible.”

Centre’s Interlocutor for Naga Talks, R.N. Ravi and NSCN (I-M) leaders led by ato kilonser and chief negotiator, Th. Muivah have been holdings series of meeting to chalk out the final agreement. Both the parties have reportedly been holding

two sitting every week to hasten the process. R.N.Ravi has consistently maintained that it would be most desirable if all stake holders, especially the NPGs, could be included in the consultations before finalising the agreement.

Meanwhile, the six NNPGs— GPRN/NSCN [‘Gen. (Retd)’ MB Neokpao Konyak and N. Kitovi Zhimomi], NSCN (R) [Wangtin Naga and P Tikhak], NNC/FGN [‘Brig. (Retd.)’

Shingnya and ‘Gen. (Retd)’ Thinoselie Keyho], NNC (Parent body) [Z. Royim Yimchungru and V Nagi], NPGN/NNC [Tsangthungo Ovung and Hozheto Chophy], GDRN/NNC [Kiumukam Yimchungru] — have reiterated their stand that they represent people of Nagaland and so no talks can be conclusive without their official participation.

NNPGs sources lamented that though there had been couple of informal meetings with the Interlocutor, the NNPGs Woking Group was yet to receive any formal invite for talks.

ACAUT responds to Finance deptt, PWD D I M A P U R , AU G 1 7 (NPN): ACAUT Nagaland has termed as “vague and hogwash” the OSD finance department’s clarification to its allegation of blatant corruption for construction of a single bridge over river Tizit by the finance department and PWD. ACAUT through its media cell said a more detailed and reasonable clarification backed by irrefutable evidence was expected from the Finance department to such a serious issue.

ACAUT demanded that the OSD produce evidence to prove that no money was drawn in the first instance.

Without producing evidence, ACAUT said OSD should not comment in public, adding that only an independent inquiry committee should be able to get to bottom of the matter.

ACAUT alleged that Finance department was issuing “fabricated statements and absolute lies to misguide the public” regarding the classification of expenditure under nondevelopmental heads.

Reiterating its earlier claim, ACAUT said two drawals totalling Rs. 57.9

crore were drawn under Non-Developmental heads -- one for construction of a bridge under E.E. Dimapur Division dated May 3, 2017 amounting to Rs. 2447.17 lakhs, which was issued under State Plan.

Further, it said Rs 12.52 crore drawn on October 20, 2016, for construction of a bridge on Mon-Tizit road over River Tikang, was also issued under Non-Plan.

In this regard, ACAUT queried if there was centre’s decision to do away with traditional classification of expenditure into state plan and non plan (as stated by the Finance department), then why was it classified as state plan and non-plan in the above mentioned drawals? “This is nothing but heights of falsehood and deception,” ACAUT said.

ACAUT also stated that finance department did not specify whether the NonDevelopmental funding was under NEC, NLCPR, or under additional grant.

With regard to PWD (R&B) clarification that Rs. 2854.97 lakh amount was drawn in favour of (Cont’d on p-7)

Zeliangrong bodies urge NSCN 13 killed, 64 injured in (I-M), ZUF to exercise restrain Barcelona terror attack DIMAPUR, AUG 17 (NPN): Zeliangrong frontal organizations have expressed displeasure over what was described as the “present undesirable development” taking place in Zeilad region between the Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF) and NSCN (I-M) cadres engaging in gunfight and creating fear psychosis among the general populace.

A joint consultation meeting of Zeliangrong frontal organizations, which was held at Mhainamtsi village, Peren on August 17, resolved to appeal both the groups to maintain needful understanding and exercise utmost restraint. The organisations included Zeliangrong Baudi (Assam, Manipur and Nagaland), Zeliangrong Baudi (N), Zeliangrong Mipui Organization, Zeliangrong Youth Front, Zeliangrong Students’ Union Nagaland, Zeliang People Organization and all subordinate bodies.

In a press release, the media cell of the consultation meeting said that the house affirmed the public support to the “progressive Indo-Naga political talks”, anticipating for “early political solution honourable and acceptable to the Naga people.”

Further, the house also condemned the “brutal act and cold blooded murder” of Elimelech Gangmei on August 13, 2017 at Namdailong (Jiribam) allegedly by cadres of NSCN (I-M) Zeilad Region.

The frontal bodies stated that current confrontational scenario must be stopped and the matter be politically sorted out amicably.

Meanwhile, the members also expressed concern over the “plight of the people and their land in position.” The media cell said the Zeliangrong people reiterated and affirmed its stand to defend and safeguard the people and the land in all fronts.

MADRID, AUG 17 (AGENCIES): At least 13 people have been killed and 64 injured after a van ploughed into terrified shoppers in Barcelona in a depraved terror attack this afternoon, according to local media. And reports say that a hostage situation involving two armed men is ongoing at a nearby Turkish restaurant.

In chilling echoes of the London Bridge attack, armed police have stormed La Boqueria open-air market amid claims that two terrorists are armed with rifles.

Spanish public broadcaster RTVE reports that one suspect has been arrested by brave Catalan cops.

Cops clad in black and carrying machine guns were seen entering the market backed up by regular police armed with pistols.

Footage has emerged of terrified people being evacuated as police locked down and surround the area where the suspects are reportedly holed up.

And a third man, believed to be the van driver, is being hunted amid reports he too is holed up in the Turkish restaurant.

One of the vans involved in the deadly attack was reportedly rented by a man named as Driss Oukabir who is said to be a Spanish national of North African descent.

A huge emergency response rushed to the scene on the iconic Las Ramblas tourist hotspot at around 4 p.m. Thursday.

State Govt still witholding Pillai’s termination order

Correspondent

KO H I M A , AU G 1 7 (NPN): Despite what had been stated with regard to termination of contract appointment of M.K.R.Pillai, consultant in PHQ by DGP Nagaland, LL Doungel and former chief minister, Dr. Shurhozelie Liezietsu, official sources told Nagaland Post that so far no official order was issued in this regard.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, an official in the Home department informed Nagaland Post Thursday that the file (supposed to contain termination order) was sent to the “higher ups” for clearance.

However, the sources disclosed, that till date the file to clear the termination order of Pillai’s contract appointment has not been forwarded.

This has led to the usual washing off one’s hands among the ruling politicians and bureaucrats about the mystery regarding inability of the entire government machinery to terminate the

contract appointment of a retired Addl.SP who is currently under investigation of IT authorities.

It may be recalled that DGP Nagaland, L.L. Doungel on June 14 had informed media persons that Pillai’s consultancy contract was terminated with immediate effect. On July 12, the government under former chief minister, Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu had also conveyed the cabinet’s decision to terminate Pillai’s service.

However, incumbent chief minister, T.R. Zeliang on July 25 informed media persons that he was yet to see the termination order.

It was also pointed out that the very appointment of Pillai as consultant to DGP was not processed through proper norms and procedure. When the Vigilance Commission recently enquired from the Home department about Pillai’s appointment (after the IT scam broke out), the Commission came to learn that no clearance was issued from the Personnel & Administrative Reforms or the

state cabinet.

Meanwhile, talking to Nagaland Post at his office chambers, DGP L.L Doungel said PHQ had already recommended for the termination of Pillai’ services and that it was upto the state government to do what was needed. Asked if Pillai was still attending office in PHQ even after being removed as consultant, the DGP said he was unaware but opined that Pillai might have attended office to clear some files.

On the police truck parked at Pillai’s residence in Pandalam, Kerela, DGP said “the vehicle was sent to collect garden tools and sprinklers manufactured in Cochin for office and individuals as well.”

He also informed that the PHQ received certain queries from IT department which were to be submitted

by August 14. However, Doungel said since he was out of station, the PHQ had sought more time to respond as they had to go through several records to respond. (Cont’d on p-7)

CNTC asks NHIDCL to provide quality works DIMAPUR, AUG 17 (NPN): Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC) on Thursday asked the National Highway Infrastructure Development Limited (NHIDCL) to provide quality works on the ongoing projects in the state and warned that no compromise will be made on the quality workmanship.

CNTC conveyed to HIDCL at a meeting in Dimapur, CNTC media cell stated.

CNTC said it also supported the demand placed before the chief engineer (NH), by Lotha Hoho to furnish details of the DPR and copies of sanction order and work orders.

CNTC further asked NHIDCL not to sublet works to local contractors on the Wokha-Merapani NH/789. According CNTC, NHIDLC assured to provide the quality works. On four laning of KushiabilPatkai stretch, NHIDCL reportedly assured completion of the project within the stipulated time. CNTC affirmed that no organisations-- “overground or underground”, should disturb any ongoing developmental works.

Further, CNTC assured to provide all out support to NHIDCL together with the people of Nagaland against any elements that were anti-development and anti-people.

Blue Whale: Parents, teachers asked to be vigilant New Delhi, Aug 17 (PTI/Agencies): The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR), apex body for child rights, has urged parents and teachers to “keep a watch” on children showing abnormal and erratic behaviour due to exposure to ‘Blue Whale Challenge’, the lethal online game which is suspected to have led to suicides in Kerala and elsewhere in the country.

‘Blue Whale’ is a controversial Internet game in which a series of tasks, most brutal, are given to players for a period of 50 days by the administrators with a final challenge requiring them to commit suicide. The player is asked to share photos after finishing the different levels of the game. The game is spread via links on social media platforms. More than six children across India in the age group of 12-19 years are suspected to have taken

their lives playing this game within a span of two weeks.

“We appeal to parents, teachers, students and all concerned individuals to keep a close watch on all those who may be showing abnormal and erratic behaviour because they may be playing online games such as the Blue Whale Challenge,” the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) said

in a press statement.

The move comes after the government asked internet majors like Google, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Microsoft and Yahoo to “immediately remove” links of the deadly game from their platforms.

The deadly game has since reportedly claimed at least three lives in India while a few other cases of teenagers being saved at the

last moment were reported.

The infamous internet challenge that ends with the players killing themselves has allegedly taken over 150 lives in Russia and Europe.

In Mumbai a 14 year old boy committed suicide by jumping off a seven-storey building in Andheri. A 15year-old boy killed himself by suffocating in Kolkata. In Kerala, a 16-year-old, Class 11 student, hanged himself to death on July 26.

Meanwhile, the death of a 18-year-old youth from Manipur also came under scanner as to whether it was a case of suicide. The youth fell to his death from the terrace of an eatery in Hauz Khas, Delhi. Police are scanning CCTV footage from 25 restaurants nearby.

Acting on a hunch that Siddharth Singh might be a victim of the notorious Blue Whale game challenge, police are also checking his phone and laptop.

Legacy Complex, Bayavu Hill, Kohima, Nagaland.

Rio also thanked God and the people of Nagaland in particular and party men and women of all units/ regions for the faith reposed upon him and the party led government to lead and serve for three consecutive terms.

Neiphiu Rio also spoke at length about his experiences and hardship faced by him as president of youth wing when served the regional party in 1977. He also recalled how he resigned from ministerial berth and remained as MLA to pave way for late Vamuzo to be the Chief Minister, Nagaland.

It was in 2003 that, with much effort to overcome the dire difficult state of the then party, the party was resurrected and rechristened as “Nagaland People Front” to run or operate the party works in one private house of mine, by vacating my children who were occupying it, Rio reminded.

He said in 2010, Nagaland People’s Front was renamed as –“Naga People’s Front” so as to spread its wings to other Naga areas

of the region to meet the demand of the people.

Accordingly, in 2011, with great difficulty though, struggling against all odds, and resistance posed by the then Ibobi led Congress Government he said NPF succeeded in launching the NPF Manipur unit.

He also spoke on the recent developments after Dr Shürhozielie Liezetsu refused to step down from the chief ministerial chair.

On the present party front, Rio said “we have more than 50% of the total number of CEC members who have made written declaration supporting the present NPF president (Rio) and T.R. Zeliang as CM”.

Rio also alleged that to confuse the people, Dr Liezietsu has suspended or expelled all MLAs who ever opposed his leadership which has only shown that he prefers to run the party without any elected members.

Rio said “Candidly speaking, Dr Shürhozielie has gone all out against my position in Delhi as Member of Parliament to the extent of writing against me.”

He said that because

of the compelling position to run the party office, it has become mandatory to have a proper address, and hence, the Legacy Complex has been vacated and given to make it convenient for the party to function.

Rio also informed that he met elders of Kohima village during which the elders expressed regret over the recent development created by some section of the 10 Northern Angami-1 A/C. He said the elders opined that there was no reason to bar any one to work for a political party and thereby encouraged the party activities in and around the village.

The meeting chaired by R. Lepden, ex-MLA and senior vice president, took off with Atsolie, senior leader and advisor NPF central women wing invoking the almighty’s blessing.

The meeting was also addressed by T.N. Mannen IAS (Rtd.), Advisor NPF and several other senior NPF leaders and functionaries. Leaders and party functionaries who spoke included Vihoshe Awomi, Nchumo Kikon, Lipok Pongen etc.

DIMAPUR: Member of Parliament (Lok Sabha) and Naga People’s Front (NPF) interim president, Neiphiu Rio, has expressed sincere regret that despite the responsibility and faith reposed upon the NPF-led DAN by the electorate, the NPF was yet to address the needs and expectations of the deserving people.

A press note by NPF central media, stated that Rio attributed this to “improper, autocratic and dictatorial management and functioning” of former president, Dr. Shürhozielie Liezetstu, who had contested elections since 1969 and claimed ownership of the “hard earned” regional political party. The NPF-led DAN government was formed under the Presidenship of late Vizol, Rio added.

The press note informed that Rio said this in his maiden address to joint meeting of NPF central executive council, NPF central women, youth and the minority wing and the central office bearers on Thursday.

It also informed that chain of meetings which included a joint meeting of was held at the NPF Central office,

Chakmas condemn Meghalaya HC issues notice inclusion of CHT in Pak on posts of parl secretaries

Correspondent

Shillong, Aug 17: T h e M e g h a l aya H i g h Court has issued a notice to the state government for a final hearing on the matter of the posts of parliamentary secretaries.

A division bench of Chief Justice Dinesh Maheshwari and Justice Ved Prakash Vaid on Wednesday heard a Public Interest Litigation challenging the appointment of parliamentary secretaries in the state. The notice comes after the Supreme Court

declared unconstitutional a law enacted by Assam in 2004 that allowed appointment of parliamentary secretaries with the rank of minister of state.

On July 26, a bench of Justice J. Chelameswar, Justice R.K. Agrawal and Justice A.M. Sapre noted that the Constitution’s Article 194 does not expressly authorise the state legislature to create offices such as the one in question.

“In view of the law declared by the Supreme Cour t in the aforesaid

decision, this matter does require consideration; and at the earliest,” the High Court said.

The bench also issued no tic es to the c entr a l government, the Election Commission besides the 17 parliamentary secretaries in the state.

M a d a l S u m e r, t h e p e t i t i o n e r, s a i d the appointment of parliamentary secretaries cannot find any valid place in the Constitution and is extra-constitutional and illegal.

“Apart from the 500 trees which have been identified by the forest department to be trimmed, another 50 odd weak trees identified by the public in different localities of Shillong would also be chopped down,” Laloo said.

He also said that government will have to plant 6,000 trees as per forest rules if 600 trees are being cut.

“I have asked all the department to identify their places where these 6000 trees can be planted,” he added.

Aizawl, Aug 17 (PTI): ‘Chakma Black Day’ was obser ved at Chawngte town in south Mizoram’s Lawngtlai district on the Bangladesh border Thursday condemning the award of Chittagong Hill Tracts to Pakistan by Radcliffe Boundary Commission 70 years ago.

Chakma National Council of India Mizoram state committee, which organised a rally, said that the “unjust award” of Chittagong Hill Tracts to Pakistan (the East Pakistan) during the partition of India in 1947 was a “major

blunder” committed by the colonial British government.

The copies of the Radcliffe Boundar y Commission report of 1947 were publicly torched and speakers condemned the then Indian leaders for “betraying” the Chakma people.

The people of Chittagong Hill Tracts had hoisted the Indian National Flag on August 15, 1947, they said adding that it was not until August 17 of the same year that the inclusion of the Chakma inhabited area in Pakistan was known when the Radcliffe Award was announced in the radio.

said a release of the state home department. It was to dupe prospective nurses of the country financially or otherwise sending them to Kuwait via Dubai or Bahrain without involvement of authorized state-r un agencies, it said.

Embassy of India, Kuwait informed that the agency mentioned in the adver tisement was not registered under section 10 of Emigration Act, 1983 and hence was not authorized t o c a r r y o u t ove r s e a s recruitment business without

a valid registration certificate, said the press release issued by under secretary (home), government of Manipur.

The release further said that parents should not encourage their sons/ daughters possessing nursing degree/diploma to apply to the above private illegal agencies in the name of working at higher salary at Kuwait or any Gulf countries.

“There is no authenticity in the matter and the advertisement is a fake,” it added.

Nagaland Post

ue credit must be given to those who have exposed blatant and colossal corrupt practices within the high echelons of the state government, through the media as it gives people a lot to ponder about. In this regard, the recent revelations by ACAUT Nagaland including S.T.Yanger and Odi Jamir over RTI replies deserve not only mention but gratitude of the entire people of Nagaland.

Though some of the departments had made vague replies and at times, even placing hurdles on the RTI petition(s), they carried on with will and purpose.

One positive outcome of the Right To Information Act 2005 in Nagaland, is that it has caught on with citizens who are seeking information about various decisions of the government. The queries that have attracted keen public interest include – funds allotted/drawn under various departments and the works done including questionable process in making appointments. The irregularities were accentuated by the same factor- not advertising contract works and vacancies through Notice Inviting Tender (NIT) in various newspapers. The RTI Act is supposed to ensure fear of the law and to remind government servants about practising transparency and accountability. On the flip side of the Act, there are numerous reports of how those seeking RTI from various departments, are being driven by a motive to blackmail officials. In other words, the Act is being used as a tool to extract money so that information provided does not spill over to public domain. It is strange that while people make big proclamations about tradition and customary laws; there seems to be another yardstick for conduct and governance.

With a huge army of unemployed pegged at a little over seventy thousand but which could be at least double the number, Nagaland indeed faced a very difficult situation. The recent alleged backdoor appointment scam in the police department and also several other departments are an injustice to the people. Transparency and accountability in appointments to various government departments would satisfy people even though a fraction were to be selected and given jobs. The RTI Act is an effective tool for promoting Good Governance and cannot be subjective and it does not start and end within the government set up. Abuse of state-power by elected leaders and bureaucrats for private gain is one of the prime factors for ailing the society. The objective was, and still is, to achieve a more effective, fair, accountable and transparent governance by empowering the grassroots people through informative and educative contents continuous pressure from civil society organizations could influence the government mechanism to act in a manner that satisfies the public quest. It is not totally surprising that the government continues to shy away from enacting the Lok Ayukta Bill in the assembly. A strong plea was made for the Lok Ayukta when the Congress was in opposition but today after it merged with the NPF, it has probably appreciated the view from the ruling side and relegated the proposal to the background.

Civil society groups have a role to play in effecting good governance. If civil societies focus only on raising issues to get the attention of the government or those in authority, they miss out on the need to nurture people’s participation in all spheres.

Post-mortem Supremacy of the party

Vol. XXVII NO. 253 Dimapur, Friday, August 18, 2017

RTI as a check

Nagaland Post, Dimapur

A

fter the 91st Amendment of the 10th Schedule of the Constitution of India in 2003 where merger of Political Parties with the support of 2/3 elected members is allowed so as not to affect disqualification of elected members, the State of Nagaland also has had its due share of history.

With the coming of the 91st Amendment of the Constitution of India the supremacy of the Political Party replaced the elected members’ supremacy.

By 2004, DAN-1 headed

by Neiphiu Rio had almost doubled its numerical strength numbering to 32 by way of merging other parties with the NPF when 7 Congress MLAs, 2 JDU, 4 NDM merged with the 19 NPF MLAs. Due to downsizing in 2004, 19 NPF MLAs extended support to Z. Obed as the Chief Minister of Nagaland and only 13 MLAs including Neiphiu Rio were in the Government. However, Party President, Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu was solidly behind Neiphiu Rio. Z. Obed with 19 NPF MLAs was supported by 13 Congress MLAs, 1 MLA from NDM, 1 MLA from JDU and 3 Independent MLAs totalling 37 MLAs. The BJP having 7 Members was divided. The NPF MLAs who were with Z. Obed could not succeed because the Party Whip hung over their head like the proverbial Damocles’ Sword, and they eventually returned to the Party fold to support Neiphiu Rio.

W

In 2007, Tokheho took the initiative to topple Neiphiu Rio government and mastered the support of 13 NPF MLAs supported by 17 Congress MLAs, 2 JDU MLAs, 3 Independent MLAs and 1 BJP MLA totalling 36 MLAs. Although the UPA Government was there in the Centre it could not install Tokheho’s Government because the 13 MLAs were disqualified for going against the Whip.

The 3 Independent MLAs along with others resigned to enforce President’s Rule. That year, 2007, the Congress party refused to celebrate Christmas and New Year unless President Rule was imposed! Eventually on 3rd January 2008 President Rule was imposed in Nagaland.

This is all because the majority number has to be backed by law and the Constitution. Tokheho could not succeed inspite of the number because he did not have the support of the political party at that point of time, namely, the NPF. In 2014, when Neiphiu Rio decided to contest the Lok Sabha Election the Party declared whoever commands the majority of the NPF MLAs shall become the Chief Minister to replace Rio. T.R. Zeliang had the support of 24 NPF MLAs, and Noke Wangnao was backed by then Chief Minister Rio by 14 MLAs. The Party gave letter of support to T. R. Zeliang and he was unanimously elected Leader of the Legislature Party in the State Banquet Hall over a

meeting called by Neiphiu Rio who was then the Leader of the House and also the Leader of the Legislature Party.

On 5th January, 2015, 22 NPF Members Camped at Sovima and demanded the resignation of T.R.Zeliang.

G. Kaito Aye inspite of the numerical majority could not move no confidence motion against the sitting Chief Minister T.R.Zeliang since both of them were from the same political party. The BJP, by then increased to 4 members with the merger of 3 NCP MLAs, extended support to Kaito Aye. The Congress was having 8 MLAs and G. Kaito Group offered even 4 Cabinet posts including Deputy Chief Minister tot he Congress party.

The Congress MLAs knew that under anti-defection Law the 22 NPF MLAs can only vote against the Government and earn disqualification since the political party was with the minority Group of NPF MLAs headed by T.R.Zeliang.

The 8 Congress MLAs and the 7 Independent MLAs chose to side with T.R. Zeling having the support of the NPF Party. Subsequently, 8 Congress MLAs merged with the NPF. The lone member of NCP and also of the JDU also merged with the NPF taking the total strength of NPF to 48.

In the present crisis 37 NPF MLAs who have voted against the Party Whip on 21st July, 2017 cannot escape

Representation to HPC Ltd for protection of NPPC Ltd.

ith due respect, I on behalf of the India National Trade Union Congress (INTUC) Nagaland State Branch would like to bring to your notice the above cited subject for favor of consideration and immediate necessary action.

That sir, first of all the INTUC Nagaland State Branch would like to acknowledge the noble contribution made by the Hindustan Paper Corporation Limited in the establishment of a Paper Mill at Tuli as a joint venture with the Government of Nagaland as Nagaland Pulp & paper Company Limited. And that had enabled an industrial unit reflected in the industrial map of the government of India, as the one and only one since the inception of the statehood of Nagaland. Therefore the INTUC Nagaland state branch

would like to once again express our indebted gratefulness to the HPC Ltd. for and on behalf of the people of state of Nagaland for your invaluable contribution.

The INTUC Nagaland State Branch had paid its official maiden visit to Tuli NPPC Ltd. Paper Mill at several times and had the benefit of having close interaction with the workers union of the NPPC Ltd and during which it was disheartening to find that the conditions of the workers are worsening day by day who have no other means to earn for the livelihood of their families.

Therefore , the INTUC Nagaland State Branch would like to appeal to the Hindustan Paper corporation Ltd. to set in motion the revival plan of the present defunct NPPC Ltd. Paper Mill at Tuli at the earli-

est possible time and that we would like to assure you that the INTUC Nagaland State Branch shall venture to highlight the commitment of your corporation in the quest for equitable development, dreams and expectations for the welfare of the people of the country men and women at large. The hopes of the people of Nagaland are still alive that sooner or later the presently defunct NPPC Ltd. Paper Mill at Tuli Nagaland shall be restored to its expectation and the dream of undertaking a joint venture with a reputed enterprise in the country like Hindustan Paper Corporation HPC Ltd. shall be fulfilled.

Your valuable action and initiation shall ever highly be appreciated.

M. Shami Angh, President, INTUC Pradesh N.E. Nagaland

disqualification under Para 2 (1) (b) of the 10th Schedule of the Constitution of India. Violation of the constitution by one MLA or any number of MLAs is the same and the number cannot escape disqualification in the absence of merger with another political party, which, in the instant case, did not happen.

The present government is unconstitutional and any unconstitutional government cannot function even for a day.

The Chief Minister, Ministers, Advisors and Parliamentary Secretaries telling the citizens that even if it is unconstitutional they can delay the matter in the Court and run the Government, is nothing but a slap on the face of the Constitution of India. And if the Constitution of India is not made applicable to the state of Nagaland, the Governor P.B. Acharya shall be solely responsible and the Government of India at the Centre should disown the action of the Governor. He, the Governor, should be recalled as in the case of former Arunachal Pradesh Governor Rajkhowa, and the unconstitutional TR government dismissed without further delay so as to enhance confidence of the citizens of Nagaland in the Constitution of India.

Peaceful resolution to bury without delay

C

atholic Association of Nagaland (CAN) expresses its profound concern about the increasing trends of interdenomination intolerances and discrimination promoted by some ill-informed church leaders to perpetuate disunity among people.

The past and the present festering events at Leinganching village, Ukhrul district Manipur, is a persisting cruel case which epitomises another reprehensible act where the villagers for the last seven days refused entry into the village for the burial rites of late Rita Hoari for being a catholic by faith, by their grandstanding over a sectarian provision of the village constitution enacted as “one village one religion/denomination”.

The persistent efforts of intolerance and odious repression reserved for catholic minority in this form is against all tenets of human dignity and unconstitutional. Freedom of religion or belief is a universal human right and is guaranteed under Article 25 of the Indian constitution that gives all citizens the “freedom of conscience and the right freely to profess, practice and propagate religion”.

The villager’s denial of a burial to a fellow human being for over seven days is outrageous and despicable. This belligerence reflects total disregard and disrespect to the basic inherent right and dignity for the deceased, the bereaved family and to the Catholic families of this village. This is deplorable and as a professing Christian is totally and utterly unchristian in character.

The Catholic Association of Nagaland (CAN) appeal to all honest men to disapprove such sectarian prejudices in all its forms and to forge for a peaceful resolution to bury without delay the mortal remains of the deceased in their land and pave the way for resettlement of the bereaved family, and may God grant the Grace to endure the trials during these difficult times.

Dr. Simon Dzüvichü, President, CAN

n the most precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we would like to convey a very big THANK YOU to all the members of the Catholic Churches in Nagaland, and more importantly to Most Rev. Dr. James Thoppil. For you have done a very noble ministry for the wellbeing of the Nagas and Indians as you declared and prayed on 15th August, 2017 for the early solution to the longawaited INDO-NAGA POLITICAL SOLUTION. We recognized that the Spirit of the Lord has graciously spoken to you and has given you the grace and courage to take up this special prayer; and for this very reason, we cannot stop thanking the Lord who blesses His children according to His riches. Amen.

It is our earnest plea that since the Lord has begun this work of prayer in all of us, let us keep on praying until He brings forth the fruits of our prayers.

In this regard, we also would like to ardently plead to all the brothers and sisters of the Church of God to join

your hearts in such Prayer Ministry of the Lord. Let us continue to pray for the people of Nagalim and India, knowing that the Lord will surely answer our prayers in due time. Prayer will bring blessings to many. There is a popular saying: “we can change our friends but we cannot change our neighbors.”

They will remain a neighbor until the Lord’s return. Praying for a neighbor, winning the heart of a neighbor, showing goodwill towards a neighbor, doing good to a stranger and living in peace and harmony with a neighbor are inevitable responsibilities of the Christian. Therefore, in tune with the pleading of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, let us strive to do it in all circumstance of life’s situation. Let us not give up to pray for the people.

The Catholic Church has set before us a good example of prayer. This is the right time to pray deeper than ever before. Thank you, Bishop Thoppil.

We are praying for you too.

May God Bless You. Rev. Seksim Kasar, General Secretary, CNC

However, in our state, Road to hospital should be for healing of the party. The ECI is seized N.A-I A/C came to the house democracy exists only in books …Jesus…said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have…and come, follow Me.” But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich. —Luke 18:22-23 Have you ever heard the Master say something very difficult to you? If you haven’t, I question whether you have ever heard Him say anything at all. Jesus says a tremendous amount to us that we listen to, but do not actually hear. And once we do hear Him, His words are harsh and unyielding.

Jesus did not show the least concern that this rich young ruler should do what He told him, nor did Jesus make any attempt to keep this man with Him. He simply said to him, “Sell all that you have…and come, follow Me.” Our Lord never pleaded with him; He never tried to lure him— He simply spoke the strictest words that human ears have ever heard, and then left him alone.

Have I ever heard Jesus say something difficult and unyielding to me? Has He said something personally to me to which I have deliberately listened— not something I can explain for the sake of others, but something I have heard Him say directly to me? This man understood what Jesus said. He heard it clearly, realizing the full impact of its meaning, and it broke his heart. He did not go away as a defiant person, but as one who was sorrowful and discouraged. He had come to Jesus on fire with zeal and determination, but the words of Jesus simply froze him. Instead of producing enthusiastic devotion to Jesus, they produced heartbreaking discouragement. And Jesus did not go after him, but let him go. Our Lord knows perfectly well that once His word is truly heard, it will bear fruit sooner or later. What is so terrible is that some of us prevent His words from bearing fruit in our present life. I wonder what we will say when we finally make up our minds to be devoted to Him on that particular point?

One thing is certain— He will never throw our past failures back in our faces.

of the matter and we are hopeful that in good time the ECI will pronounce the judgment and handover the Party symbol & properties to the rightful and legal owner.

Whereas, on 13 Aug 2017 a mob numbering around 100 youths led by NPF youths of the 10th N.A-I A/C served an ultimatum at the temporary office of the NPF at Legacy Complex, Bayavü hill Kohima, to remove all the party flags and close down the office on or before 13 Aug 2017. On the same day a group of unidentified youths came to the house of Shilumar, Press Secretary NPF to discuss about the statement issued by him on behalf of the NPF Party. Again on 15 Aug 2017, the NPF Youths of 10 NA-I A/C directed, 1.

Mr. Ruokuotuolie Mere; 2. Mr. Kuovisieo Rio; 3. Mr. Mhalelie Rio; 4. Mr. Peter Kuotsu.

To be present at their office for explanation and to present the new Kohima Div NPF Youth wing office bearers on 16 Aug. While serving the ultimatum to the four law abiding citizens, those youths cautioned them not to take the Ultimatum letter lightly because they had started the “search and find actions.”

Over and above this, some of the 10th NA-I A/C youths had gone to the assembly Secretariat and warned some of the officials, which is uncalled for as stated

of Kechangulie Kense, Secretary Bayavü Panchayat and served a caution to him through his wife in his absence, which is unethical and against our Naga tradition and customs.

While we condemn those ugly and insane incidents, we would like to boldly underline the simple and hard fact that, the present imbroglio is within the NPF Party and that it should not be personalized rather the matter be left with the ECI for the final verdict or for any outcome.

The NPF Led DAN Government is here to provide security to one and all. Therefore, we would like to appeal to the general public not to panic, but to remain calm and maintain peace and tranquillity during this unfortunate and trying times.

Consequently, we would like to state that in the event of any untoward incidents towards these officials and persons, the NPF 10th NA-I A/C Youth Wing shall be held responsible.

and not exercised pragmatically.

A true democracy requires a clean electoral process, where the citizens elect their representatives with sound mind and sane choice, after which the democratically elected representatives would hold accountable to the people. But the people here are even denied of this privilege; the moment the candidates decides to distribute money or bribe the voters… it becomes untrue democracy and an absolute power and, “Power tends to corrupt. Absolute power corrupts absolutely” – Lord Acton.

Clause 51 A [Representation of the people act], empowers the EC to cancel polls in the event of booth capturing and use of muscle power to influence the outcome, however the proposal of the Election Commission in 2016, to provide Clause 58 B, which could ensure the countermanding of the polls if money had been used, has not been approved by the center yet. This makes it hard to assert that India is indeed democratic.

The instances of true democracy exercised by the people in the world are: the plebiscite taken in UK during the Scottish’s urge for a separate nation, and the Brexit plebiscite; where the more severe national interests were decided by the people altogether, after the issues had been thoroughly deliberated systematically.

Sir,

On absence of government staff, pitiable road in Wokha, the general public of Wokha while lauding the government and department of health and family welfare for constructing “trauma centre and district diagnostic centre” in Wokha town are disappointed because even though the building was constructed long ago, it has been wearing a deserted look through the past many years. There is no sign of employees working in both the centres.

It is urged upon state government to appoint staff and work smoothly, so that the centres would be functional and the public could receive medical treatment instead of going to other places.

The road from Wokha town police point to district hospital is in a deplorable condition and the commuters especially patients taking the road towards the hospital has been facing untold hardships. The public of Wokha town has requested PWD (roads and bridges) to maintain the hospital road for public safety. Otherwise there will be more casualty on the way to hospital rather than going there for a cure.

Over and above, district planning development board (DPDB) also neglect and perhaps deliberately ignore to maintain deplorable condition. It seems none of the (DPDB) members ever visited the district hospital.

Indeed, wherever it may be, hospital is not for district people alone. It is for all human beings, like foreign tourists visiting the place, sudden accident, ailment, immediately rush to the hospital for medical treatment.

But main point is road, because road in the face of the district and state as every visitor and tourists “judge” the state based on the road condition. But district hospital, Wokha is in deplorable condition worse than “river bed”. Even Lucifer king of satans afraid to go district hospital. Therefore, pay due attention. Nagaland state PWD (roads and bridges) after proper maintenance of keeping the road in tip and top condition, the surplus amount of money can be “corrupted”. Without maintenance the whole amount of money going into “corrupt” coffer will not be tolerated by people.

If money is tainted without looking after the welfare of the public then God will not be happy as mentioned in Acts 5: 1-5.

Everybody will always live young if the person lives honestly, eat slowly, sleep sufficiently, work industriously and worship God faithfully.

President bats for safety of miners ment, the president said the extraction and management of minerals have to be integrated into the country’s overall strategy for nation building and urged the industry to achieve higher professional standards to reach “zero harm” level.

Meeting required safety standards for mining is not an easy task, he said, adding the Indian mining industry has progressed appreciably in production and productivity through intensive mechanisation and adoption of new technology.

“Never before in its long history has the Indian mining industry experienced such revolutionary change, at such an acceler-

ated pace. It is crucial that safety norms for mining workers and mining operations keep pace,” the president said.

Apart from this concept of self-regulation, workers’ participation in safety management and safety management systems have come to be institutionalised in the mining industry and there has been a steady decline in fatality rates, which needs to be recognised, President Kovind said.

“Yet, we are still some distance from our goal of zero harm. In fact safety issues and complexities have compounded with the increased scale of mining operations and their extension to adverse geo-mining conditions. The Indian mining industry is standing at the threshold of change.

The balance between greater productivity and profit margins, and the safety of workers is vital. Human safety and lives must always come first. They are always the priority,” he said.

New Delhi, Aug 17 (IANS): As opposition leaders were holding a conclave on Thursday, BJP President Amit Shah held a meeting here with party officials and union ministers to chalk out strategy for the 2019 Lok Sabha polls setting a target of 350-plus seats for the party in the next Lok Sabha elections.

Sources in the BJP said that during the hourlong meeting at the party office here, Shah gave special focus on coastal states like Odisha, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal for achieving the target.

The meeting was attended by union ministers H.N. Ananth Kumar, Dharmendra Pradhan, Ravi Shankar Prasad, J.P. Nadda, Prakash Javadekar, Nirmala Sitharaman, Manoj Sinha and Narendra Singh Tomar. Apart from them, the meeting was also attended by all the eight General Secretaries and all the Co-General Secretaries (Organisation).

During the meeting, Shah said the party’s chances have increased not only in Odisha and West Bengal but also in Kerala.

Corporates donated Rs 957 cr to ntl. parties “the party has declared that it received no voluntary contributions above Rs 20,000 from any donor between FY 2012-13 and FY 2015-16”.

The report also disclosed that a total of 1,933 donations through which national parties received Rs 384.04 crore do not have PAN details in the contribution form. Also, the parties have received Rs 355.08 crore from 1,546 donations that do not have address details in the contribution form.

Interestingly, 99 per cent of such donations without PAN and address details worth Rs 159.59 crore went to the BJP. The national parties received the highest number

of corporate donations in 2014-15, during which Lok Sabha elections were held, at 60 per cent of the total donations of the four years.

Satya Electoral Trust emerged as the top donor to three national parties between FY 2012-13 and 201516 with a total donations of Rs 260.87 crore, which it did in 35 installments in three years (the Trust did not donate during FY 2012-13).

The BJP declared receiving Rs 193.62 crore from the Trust, while the Congress got Rs 57.25 crore. The NCP got Rs 10 crore from it during the same period.

The General Electoral Trust, formed before the Electoral Trust Scheme was launched by the government

in 2013, was the second highest corporate donor to BJP and Congress with donations of Rs 70.70 crore and Rs 54.10 crore to them respectively.

The top donors to the CPI-M and CPI were “associations” or “unions”. The CPI-M got Rs 1.09 crore from seven different associations while CPI got Rs 14.64 lakh from 15 different associations/unions.

The real-estate sector was the biggest donor to the national parties during FY 2012-13, contributing a total amount of Rs 16.95 crore.

The BJP received the highest contribution of Rs 15.96 crore followed by Congress with Rs 95 lakh and the CPI-M with Rs 4 lakh.

OPS camp welcomes probe into Jaya’s death

C hennai , Aug 1 7 (PTI): In a boost to the merger move, AIADMK faction led by O Panneerselvam today welcomed a probe into the death of late chief minister Jayalalithaa, saying transparent talks could be held for the party’s unification.

“Victory for #OPS dharma yuddham ! All 3 key demands by OPS met decisively! Time to transparently negotiate for merger! #UnitedAdmk,” former minister and a leader of Panneerselvam faction Mafoi K Pandiarajan tweeted.

However, another senior leader of the camp appeared guarded in his reaction, saying they had demanded a CBI inquiry into Jayalalithaa’s death.

It was, however, the chief minister’s view to have a Commission of Inquiry instead, former minister K P Munusamy said.

he wants to create a ‘Swachch Bharat’ but we want a ‘Sach Bharat’,” Gandhi said, but did not elaborate further.

He also stressed on the need for unity in the fight against the BJP and the RSS. Sharad Yadav, who has parted ways with his oldtime colleague, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, amid speculation that the JD-U would split, echoed him.

If people united, “even a Hitler” cannot stand before them, said Yadav, who appeared to emerge as a rallying point for the opposition with leaders collectively endorsing his call for preserving India’s composite culture.

Referring to the theme of the meeting, CPI(M) general secretary Yechury said several Hindu and Muslims leaders fought against the

State Govt still witholding...

(From p-1) ADGP (law and order), G. Akheto Sema who was also present with the DG, had a different view on the issue. He said Pillai’s case had nothing to do with the department or the state government. He said it was purely an Income Tax matter of an individual.

On Pillai attending office, Akheto said any person who demits office would take few days to tie the loose ends before leaving. He clarified that even if Pillai was around and doing that, he was not functioning in the capacity as consultant.

Further, Akheto pointed out the IT sleuths, who had come to Kohima earlier, did not carry out any raids.

He preferred to strike a technical distinction between a raid and search.

Initially, Akheto said IT sleuths came to Kohima to verify and seal Pillai’s private business establishments and his rented house.

On the second visit, he said IT officials arrived Kohima to open establishments and

also search the rented place to find out whether there were any incriminating documents related with Income Tax. This is the normal procedure to be carried out within sixty days, he added.

Akheto also clarified that the Police truck found at Pandalam was sent to collect garden tools and remained since the materials were not ready. He said the discovery of the police truck in Pillai’s house was misconstrued along with so many other “possible imaginative ideas by so many people”.

Akheto opined that it may not be right to jump into conclusion before investigation was completed.

British but “this composite heritage is being threatened now”. CPI’s Raja dubbed the RSS an “unconstitutional” authority and alleged it was instructing the government in every matter.

National Conference leader Abdullah also launched a scathing attack on the state of affairs in the country but did not name anybody.

Meanwhile, ACAUT reminded PWD that it was yet to respond to “Improvement of City Tower to DC Court Junction” project work amounting to Rs 20 crore.

N ew D elhi , Aug 17(IANS): The r uling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) received a whopping Rs 705.81 crore from 2,987 corporate donors between financial years 2012-13 and 2015-16, a report by election watch body Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) revealed on Thursday.

A total of Rs 956.77 crore was donated by all corporate/business houses to five national parties during this period, the report said, noting that while the BJP was the highest recipient, the Congress was a distant second with Rs 198.16 crore from 167 corporate donors.

The Communist Party of India (CPI) and Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) have received the lowest share of corporate donations at 4 per cent and 17 per cent, respectively, said the report that considered the BJP, the Congress, the CPI-M, the CPI, and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).

The Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), though a recognised national party, was not considered for analysis in the report as

opposition parties joined hands Thursday to call for a united fight against the BJP with Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi taking the government head on and accusing it of not fulfilling its promises.

The platform for opposition unity was the ‘Sanjhi Virasat Bachao’ (save our composite culture) meeting hosted by rebel JD(U) leader Sharad Yadav and attended by a host of leaders, including those from the Congress, CPI-M, CPI, SP, BSP, NCP, RJD, NC, JD-S and RLD. Addressing the gathering, which included former prime minister Manmohan Singh as well as the CPI(M)’s Sitaram Yechury, CPI’s D Raja and National Conference’s Farooq Abdullah, Gandhi said they backed an India that stood for the truth. “Modi ji says

New Delhi, Aug 17 (PTI): Asserting that workers’ safety in mining is paramount and cannot be compromised, President Ram Nath Kovind today said the country needs to move strongly towards ‘culture of prevention’ from ‘culture of reaction’.

“Safety of workers in the field of mining is nonnegotiable and of absolute importance. Human safety and lives must always come first. They are always the priority. For this we have to move even more strongly to a ‘culture of prevention’ from a ‘culture of reaction’,” the president said at the National Safety Awards (Mines) presentation.

He said India is endowed with an impressive mineral wealth and the sector contributes 2.6 per cent of the national GDP, providing direct employment to over one million people on a daily average basis and is key to economic growth.

New Delhi, Aug 17 (PTI): The government Thursday gave some relief to taxpayers availing of transitional input tax credit under the GST regime by giving them an extra week till August 28 to file tax returns. Businesses under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) set-up have to file their first return, GSTR 3B, for July on the portal of GST Network -- the IT infrastructure provider for the new indirect tax regime -- by August 20. The return filing had commenced on August 5. The finance ministry today offered some relaxation to those businesses that claim transitional input tax credit. These entities will have to deposit taxes on the basis of self-assessment by August 20, but they will have one more week till August 28 to file their returns. Those taxpayers that do not claim any transitional input tax credit will have to necessarily pay tax and file return in Form 3B before the due date of August 20, the ministry said.

New Delhi, Aug 17 (PTI): A strong global trend and intensifying local demand turned out to be a potent mix for gold prices that surged Rs 300 to Rs 30,050 per 10 grams on Thursday.

Silver surpassed the Rs 40,000 level again with a sharp jump of Rs 900 at Rs 40,200 per kg, with industrial units and coin makers stepping up demand.

Minutes from Federal Reserve’s July meeting showed that policymakers voted unanimously to keep the US interest rates unchanged. This made investors pump in more money into gold asset class that is considered as a safe bet for hedging offering greater returns. Overseas, the precious metal advanced as the dollar slipped against a basket of major currencies after the release of the Fed minutes.

Globally, gold rose 0.43 percent to USD 1,288.30 an ounce and silver 0.12 percent to USD 17.12 an ounce in Singapore.

Also, pick-up in buying by local jewellers to meet festive season demand at the domestic spot market supported the upmove, traders said. In the national capital, gold of 99.9 percent and 99.5 percent purity bounced back by Rs 300 each to Rs 30,050 and Rs 29,900 per 10 grams, respectively.

billion.

This robust inflow of capital coupled with weak credit off take (credit growth was 6.2 per cent as of July 21) has meant interbank liquidity remains in strong surplus mode of USD 42 billion, the report said.

It said as capital flows remain buoyant, this puts appreciation pressures on the currency and could lead to excess liquidity, which would create challenges for the RBI to manage its monetary policy.

“The monetary policy will only take into account the impact of currency appreciation on inflation into its policy decision, rather than tackling currency rise per se,” the report said.

The RBI has already intervened in the currency markets in both spot and forwards markets to the tune of USD 3 billion and USD 17 billion, respectively, as of June 2017.

Since then, the reserves have continued to rise, suggesting the RBI may have continued to accumulate dollars in forex reserves in July and August.

Since June this year, the RBI has had to withdraw liquidity by means of Rs 30,000 crore of open market operations sales but despite these withdrawals, call rates are still closer to the reverse repo rate.

ing in any form, whether directly or indirectly, through contracts or subcontracting arrangements,” the directive signed by FN Subedar, chief operating officer of Tata Sons, says. The letter says that (Cyrus) Mistry has been aided and supported by the SP Group in his “hostile approach” to the Tata Group, a key reason for the Tata group to feel aggrieved.

It details that certain SP Group companies have presented to the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and the public at large, an “incorrect and distorted version of facts” pertaining to the business and affairs of Tata Sons and certain Tata operating companies.

By adopting such an adversarial approach of deliberately misrepresenting matters in public and in the ongoing litigation, Mistry and SP Group have attempted to damage the reputation of Tata Sons and several Tata operating companies and the goodwill associated with the ‘Tata’ brand, the letter says.

Mistry, the letter says, has engaged in such conduct with an intention of casting a negative light on Tata Sons and Tata Group companies.

Mumbai, Aug 17 (PTI): If the present pace of dollar accretion to the forex kitty continues, which crossed past the USD 393 billion, the reserves may hit the USD 400-billion mark by the week to September 8, 2017, says a report.

Forex reserves have been rising with a total accretion of USD 4.389 billion to the kitty since July 14, 2017.

It had touched a record high of USD 393.448 billion after it rose by USD 581.1 million in the week to August 4, 2017.

“If the pace of foreign exchange reserves is similar to that of the past four weeks, the reserves would hit USD 400 billion by the week to September 8. Indeed, adjusted for forward positions, forex reserves are already at USD 407 billion,” Morgan Stanley said in a note today.

The pace of forex accretion has been the strongest since 2015 and this has also been one of the strongest in Asia ex-Japan in the past 12 months, the report said.

The surge in the reserves is on account of high inflows from overseas investors.

terminate all forms of business dealings, whether directly or indirectly, through contracts or sub-contracting arrangements, with the SP Group came after ‘disparaging’ statements made against Tata Sons by Cyrus Mistry and his associates, with the intention of casting a ‘negative light’ on the Tata Group.

The directive has been sent to all group companies including Tata Steel, Tata Power, Tata Chemicals and Tata Motors. Smaller group firms such as Voltas and Trent, which is chaired

by Noel Tata, half-brother to Ratan Tata and brotherin-law of the Mistry brothers, have also received the order.

All Tata Group companies are said to be acting on the Tata Sons directive, which came to them on August 14. Key SP group companies to be affected by this letter include Afcons Infrastructure, Eureka Forbes and Forbes and Company Ltd. It remains to be seen whether the SP Group will challenge the Tata Sons move in the courts.

M U M BA I , Au g 1 7 (Agencies): The board of Tata Sons under N Chandrasekaran has ordered its group companies to scrap all business dealings with Cyrus and Shapoor Mistry’s SP Group, putting at risk transactions worth hundreds of crores of rupees.

The move is a significant step towards terminating all ties with the Shapoorji Pallonji Group and indicates that the battle between the two groups, which was ignited when Cyrus Mistry was sacked as Tata Sons chairman in October last year, is showing no signs of coming to an end. SP Group holds about 18.4% in Tata Sons.

Almost 50 companies of the SP Group will be affected by the Tata Sons board decision taken on August 9. Cyrus Mistry and elder brother Shapoor Mistry each own half of the privately-owned SP Group.

N Korea crisis: war would be horrific, says US general

BEIJING, AUG 17 (AP): The top US military officer said today a military solution to the North Korean missile threat would be “horrific” but allowing Pyongyang to develop the capability to launch a nuclear attack on the United States is “unimaginable.”

The chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine Corps General Joseph Dunford, told reporters in Beijing that President Donald Trump directly has “told us to develop credible viable military options and that’s exactly what we’re doing.”

Dunford was responding to questions about Trump’s chief strategist Steve Bannon’s comments in an interview published yesterday. Bannon was quoted as saying there’s no military solution to the threat posed

by North Korea and its nuclear ambitions, despite the president’s recent pledge to answer further aggression with “fire and fury.”

“There’s no military solution (to North Korea’s nuclear threats), forget it,” Bannon said in the interview. “Until somebody solves the part of the equation that shows me that 10 million people in Seoul don’t die in the first 30 minutes from conventional weapons, I don’t know what you’re

talking about, there’s no military solution here, they got us.”

In Beijing, Dunford said it’s “absolutely horrific if there would be a military solution to this problem, there’s no question about it.”

But, he added, “what’s unimaginable is allowing KJU (North Korean leader Kim Jong Un) to develop ballistic missiles with a nuclear warhead that can threaten the United States and continue to threaten the region,” he said.

Dunford has been in Asia this week, visiting South Korea, Japan and China. In China, he has met with his Chinese counterpart Fang Fenghui, chief of the People’s Liberation Army’s joint staff department.

Today he also met with Fan Changlong, vice chairman of the ruling Communist Party’s Central Military Commission, and Yang Jiechi, China’s top diplomat. In Seoul, South Korean President Moon Jae-in said he would consider sending a special envoy to North Korea for talks if the North stops its missile and nuclear tests, in an effort to jumpstart diplomacy.

He also declared, amid fears in South Korea that threats from Trump to unleash “fire and fury” on Pyongyang could lead to

real fighting, that there would be no second war on the Korean Peninsula.

“The people worked together to rebuild the country from the Korean War, and we cannot lose everything again because of a war,” Moon said in a nationally televised news conference. “I can confidently say there will not be a war again on the Korean Peninsula.”

Moon’s comments follow a spike in animosity generated by North Korea’s warning that it might send missiles into waters near the US territory of Guam, and

by Trump’s warlike language. Both Koreas and the United States have signalled in recent days, however, a willingness to avert a deepening crisis, with each suggesting a path toward negotiations.

Trump tweeted early Wednesday that Kim had “made a very wise and wellreasoned decision,” amid indications North Korea doesn’t immediately plan to fire multiple missiles toward Guam. “The alternative would have been both catastrophic and unacceptable!”

Trump wrote.

Next week’s start of annual US-South Korean military exercises that enrage the North each year could make diplomacy even more difficult.

Saudi Arabia reopens Qatar border after surprise meeting

Wildfires trap 2,000 villagers in Portugal

Villagers watch a firefighting plane drop water to stop a raging forest fire reaching their houses just a few dozen meters away in the village of Chao de Codes, near Macao, central Portugal, Wednesday, Aug. 16. (AP/PTI)

L I S B O N, AU G 1 7 (AGENCIES): Forest fires cut off a village of 2,000 people in Portugal, as firefighters struggled Thursday to control two major blazes in the centre of the country, local officials said.

“It’s impossible to leave or to enter Macao because of the flames and the smoke,” Vasco Estrela, the mayor of Macao village, told the Lusa news agency.

The fire, which broke out on Tuesday evening, grew stronger through Wednesday and by the small hours of Thursday morning had surrounded the village, he said, adding: “The fire is continuing unabated.”

Already at the end of July, a major fire had destroyed between 80 and 90 percent of the village, he said.

The emergency services have already had to

evacuate around 130 people from nearby villages, said Patricia Gaspar, spokeswoman for Portugal’s civil protection agency the ANPC. But firefighters were most worried about the fires around Macao which were continuing to advance on several fronts, she added.

Their hope was that firefighting aircraft, which could not be used at night, might tip the balance in their favour.

But firefighters were worried about the hotter weather forecast, which increased the risk that old fire sites would rekindle or new fires would break out in the coming days, said Gaspar.

Firefighters and locals were struggling meanwhile to master fires in nearby villages, including Vale de Abelha, AFP journalists at the scene reported.

RIYADH, AUG 17 (AP): Saudi Arabia said today it is reopening its border with Qatar to allow Qataris to attend the hajj amid a monthslong rift between the neighbouring countries that led to both sides trading accusations of politicising the ritual.

The decision came after Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman held a surprise meeting with a Qatari royal family member whose branch of the family was ousted in a palace coup in 1972.

Qatar’s Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said he welcomed the Saudi decision, but that the measures must also include a full lifting of the blockade.

He was responding to questions at a press conference in Sweden today.

The official Saudi Press Agency reported that Qatari pilgrims will be allowed to enter the kingdom by land and that pilgrims would then be flown onward from two Saudi airports in Dammam and alAhsa at the king’s expense.

The king also ordered that aircraft from the country’s flagship carrier be dis-

Saudi state TV said already 100 Qataris had arrived at the border crossing today.

The decision came after Prince Mohammed met with Qatari royal family member Sheikh Abdullah Al Thani late Wednesday at a palace in Jiddah. Images broadcast on Saudi media showed the two men seated and smiling for cameras.

Sheikh Abdullah was quoted as telling the Saudi prince that the ties between the two countries “are brotherly relations rooted in history.”

Saudi Arabia’s crown prince responded in kind, emphasising the historical ties between the two royal families, according to the Saudi Press Agency.

It was not clear, however, in what capacity Sheikh Abdullah was representing the Qatari government during the meeting.

His grandfather, father and brother were rulers of Qatar until a palace coup ousted his branch of the royal family in 1972.

The meeting in Jiddah was the first by a Qatari to Saudi Arabia since a tense political standoff erupted 10 weeks ago when the kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt severed ties with Qatar.

he reigning Best Actress Oscar champ, who took home the trophy for La La Land in February, has dethroned Jennifer Lawrence who had topped the list for two years running.

Forbes estimated that Stone, just 28, banked $26 million pre-tax between June 2016 and June 2017, thanks mostly to her pay for La La Land, the reportedly $30 million movie-musical that has grossed over $445 million worldwide to date.

Stone succeeds her oscar-winning pal Jennifer Lawrence for the Forbes title. Last year, the magazine estimated that Lawrence earned a staggering $46 million pre-tax, thanks in part to Hunger Games profits and her paycheck for Passengers.

Late last year, Stone confessed that there was a moment when she thought there might not be room for her in Hollywood, after seeing Lawrence’s success.

This year, Jennifer Aniston separated Stone and Lawrence on the list, with a reported $25.5 million in pre-tax income, thanks to her lucrative sponsorships with Emirates airlines, Smartwater, and Aveeno.

Real beat Barca to lift Spanish Super Cup

Real Madrid’s squad celebrate with the Spanish Super Cup after their win against Barcelona.

M a d r i d, A u g 1 7 (Agencies): Real Madrid produced a dominant display in the Spanish Super Cup second leg to beat Barcelona 2-0 on the night and lift the trophy after a 5-1 aggregate win.

After a controversial first leg at the Nou Camp that saw Real win 3-1 and resulted in Cristiano Ronaldo’s five-match suspension, the hosts on Wednesday rounded off their pre-season preparations in style.

Marco Asensio (4) produced another fantastic strike to add to his first leg efforts before Karim Benzema (39) doubled the lead. While Barcelona improved in the second half, they were unable to reduce the deficit as Real took the victory 5-1 on aggregate.

Real made the perfect start at the Bernabeu as Asensio picked up where he left off on Sunday. He collected a pass 25 yards out before curling the

sweetest of strikes past Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, who could only watch it hammer into his net.

Barcelona’s best period of the first half came just after conceding the opening goal. A fine Javier Mascherano chip found Luis Suarez in the box but he just skewed his volley wide before a Lionel Messi pass destined for the Uruguayan was cut out by Sergio Ramos.

Real did not let the Barca dominance rest and they should have extended their lead in the 34th minute as an impressive Lucas Vazquez smashed the woodwork when he tried his luck from the top of the box.

Five minutes later, Benzema put the game to bed. It was another fine goal as he controlled Marcelo’s fizzing cross before turning and hitting home on a half volley to put Real 5-1 ahead on aggregate

before the break. The crossbar was rattled again eight minutes into the second half, this time by Messi.

Suarez tapped the ball into the Barca captain’s path, allowing him to get away from two Real defenders on the left of the box before shooting, but Navas did well to push the effort onto the underside of the woodwork before it bounced wide.

Barcelona saw the better second-half chances but could not find the back of the net, with Suarez and Sergi Roberto going close in quick succession just after the hour mark, before the Uruguayan also hit the crossbar with a dinked effort in the 72nd minute.

But Real were just too strong for their rivals over the two legs, and add the Spanish Super Cup victory to their UEFA Super Cup win against Manchester United just over a week ago.

sports BCCI seeks govt nod for Asia Cup involving Pak

New Delhi, Aug 17 (PTI): The BCCI will seek the government’s clearance to conduct the 2018 Asia Cup, involving Pakistan, in India despite losing the hosting rights of the under19 continental event due to Pakistan Cricket Board’s objections.

“We had written to the government for the U-19 Asia Cup three months ago and we did not get a response. So the event had to be shifted to Malaysia.

Now for the senior event, we will again write to the government as there cannot be an Asia Cup without an India or Pakistan,” a BCCI official told PTI. “The India-Pakistan clash in the Asia Cup is the marquee clash. If that doesn’t happen, the tournament is meaningless. And let me make it clear, it is not about playing Pakistan in a bilateral event, it is a multiteam event like any ICC event,” the official added.

Despite the tensions between the two countries, India and Pakistan have been playing each other in world events.

Pliskova wins; Venus out of Cincinnati Open

Karolina Pliskova returns a shot to Natalia Vikhlyantseva.

Cincinnati , Aug 17 (Agencies): Karolina Pliskova celebrated her return to the tournament that helped launch her rise to world No 1 with a 6-2 6-3 win over Russian Natalia Vikhlyantseva in the second round of the Cincinnati Open.

Two celebrated seeds fell, with No 3 Angelique Kerber and ninth-seeded Venus Williams upset in three-setters, disrupting

their US Open preparations.

Kerber lost 6-4 1-6 7-6(11) to Russian Ekaterina Makarova, while Williams was upset 6-3 2-6 6-2 by Australian qualifier Ashleigh Barty in secondround matches.

Barty will face former world No 1 Caroline Wozniacki, a 6-2 6-4 winner against Russia’s Elena Vesnina, in the last 16.

Top seed Pliskova rose

to the occasion on the key points.

She saved all five break points she faced, while losing just three points behind her first serve against the Russian, who reached her first WTA final at Den Bosch in June.

Next up for the 25-year-old Czech is a third-round match against Italian Camila Giorgi, who beat Australian Daria Gavrilova 7-6(1) 5-7 6-3.

American 16th seed Madison Keys beat Russian Daria Kasatkina 6-2 6-1 to reach the last 16, where she will face Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza of Spain.

For the second week in a row, American Sloane Stephens defeated 14th seed Petra Kvitova, who was bothered by pain in her right thigh, to reach the third round with a 6-2 6-3 win.

Stephens, sidelined almost a year due to a foot injury before returning at Wimbledon, beat Kvitova last week in three sets in Toronto on her way to the semifinals.

Diego Costa

Lo n d o n, Au g 1 7 (Agencies): Diego Costa has released a statement saying he will not return to Chelsea and he “must return to Atletico Madrid”.

Costa is currently in his native Brazil and has threatened to remain there rather than return to London, and then leave on a free transfer.

Such a scenario is not acceptable to Chelsea,

though, who want the player to return to training and put himself in contention for selection.

In the statement, Costa said, “My destination has already been decided.

I must return to Atletico Madrid.

It turns out that there is the impasse that Chelsea do not want to release me.

But I believe that this situation will be resolved now on my return to Spain.”

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte reportedly texted Costa in June informing the striker he was not part of his future plans, and the striker has since remained in his native Brazil.

The 28-year-old’s lawyer, Ricardo Cardoso, said last week his client intended to hand in a formal transfer request and is considering legal action against Chelsea in order to force through a move to former club Atletico.
