GENEVA/KAZIRANGA, AUG 18 (AGENCIES): A “serious” humanitarian crisis is unfolding across South Asia where “devastating” monsoon floods have affected more than 16 million people, including over 11 million in India, the Red Cross said today.

According to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), over 16 million people have been affected by monsoon flooding across India, Nepal and Bangladesh with more than 400 deaths in the three countries.

“This is fast becoming one of the most serious humanitarian crises this region has seen in many years and urgent action is needed to meet the growing needs of millions of people affected by these devastating floods,” said Martin Faller, Deputy Regional Director for Asia Pacific IFRC. “Millions of people across Nepal, Bangladesh and India face severe food shortages and disease caused by polluted flood waters,” Faller said.

10 lakh bankers to strike work on August 22 C H E N NA I , AU G 1 8 (IANS): Around 10 lakh bankers will go on strike on August 22 as the talks between the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) on one side and Indian Banks’ Association, Chief Labour Commissioner and Department of Financial Services (DFS) failed on Friday, said a union leader.

The Forum is an umbrella body of nine unions in the Indian banking sector.

The UFBU has given notice of a nationwide strike on August 22 to protest against reforms in the banking sector and other issues.

“The officials from IBA and DFS said there is no merger of governmentowned banks or privatisation in the immediate future and urged us to withdraw our strike call. The talks were not satisfactory as there was nothing concrete coming from their side,” D. Thomas Franco Rajendra Dev, General Secretary of the All India Bank Officers Confederation (AIBOC) told IANS after the meeting.

He said that around 10 lakh bankers working in around 132,000 branches would be on strike on August 22.

across the north of the country. India’s meteorological department is forecasting more heavy rain for the region in the coming days, the IFRC said in a report.

Around 74 more deaths were reported yesterday from the deluge-battered areas of Bihar, Assam and West Bengal, taking the figure of flood casualties to 119 in Bihar.

Geneva-based IFRC is the world’s largest humanitarian network, comprising 190 member National Societies that work to save lives and promote dignity around the world.

140 animals, including 7 rhinos found dead in flood-hit KNP The second wave of floods in Assam has inundated 80 per cent of the 481 sq km area of the famed Kaziranga National Park (KNP) and claimed the lives of over 140 animals, including seven rhinos.

Since August 10, seven rhinos, 122 swamp deer, two elephants, three wild boars, two hog deer, three sambhar deer, one buffalo and one porcupine died, KNP Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Rohini Ballav Saikia said here on

Thursday. “Carcasses are being recovered daily,” the official said.

“Out of the seven dead rhinos, six drowned while the other died of natural causes.

Water of the Brahmaputra river entered the Kaziranga National Park , a UNESCO World Heritage Site, through river Difloo on August 10, the DFO said.

Intensified water patrolling was on by KNP guards, task force, pro-

tection force along with those from NGOs, Wildlife Trust of India and forest department employees for rescuing, recovering and making assessment of species trapped or dead in the KNP, Sakia said.

At present, animals in Kaziranga National Park are moving in search of food available on both sides of the NH-37 and the adjacent tea gardens towards the higher altitudes of Karbi Anglong district, the official said.

NTC wants ‘unconstitutional’ post of advisers, parl secys removed DIMAPUR, AUG 18 (NPN): Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) has urged the Governor of Nagaland to remove the “unconstitutional” post of advisers and parliamentary secretaries in the state as ordered by the Supreme Court Judgment.

In a representation submitted to the Nagaland Governor, P.B. Acharya through the chief secretary, the NTC members -- Theja Therieh, Joel Nillo Kath, Vimedo Hibo, Kitoho S. Rotohka, Nchumbemo Tongoe, Akang Ao and Zhovehu Lohe – urged the governor to examine the matter and initiate appropriate action in terms of the Supreme Court Judgment dated July 26, 2017 within seven days from the date of receipt of representation.

NTC stated that in Nagaland, after downsizing of the council of ministers in accordance with Constitution (Ninety-first Amendment) Act, 2003, the advisors and parliamentary secretaries were appointed by the chief ministers in all their respective tenures.

It pointed out that at

present there were nine “unconstitutional” advisors with cabinet status and 26 unconstitutional parliamentary secretaries in the state.

N a g a l a n d Tr i b e s Council contended that though there was no such Act of Advisors and Parliamentary Secretaries in Nagaland, they were however governed and regulated by the Nagaland Salaries, Allowances and Other Facilities of the Chief Minister, other Ministers, Speaker, Leader of Opposition, Deputy Speaker, Parliamentary Secretaries and other Members of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly and Pension for ExMembers Act, 2005.

According to the council, the chief minister vide notification No CAB-1/2013 dated July 26, 2017, appointed nine “unconstitutional” advisors and 26 “unconstitutional” parliamentary secretaries purportedly under Rule 5 read with other relevant provisions of the Rules of Executive Business of the Government of Nagaland.

N a g a l a n d Tr i b e s

Council stated that the said rule to which the chief minister resorted in appointing nine unconstitutional advisors and 26 unconstitutional parliamentary secretaries was irrelevant and the appointments were made in absolute distortion of the said Rules and in total contravention of the Constitutional 91st (Ninety-first) Amendment.

It stated that Supreme Court judgment dated July 26, 2017 was a blanket judgment in the matter of appointment of unconstitutional Parliamentary Secretaries in the States of India wherever it exists.

As the Supreme Court has declared Assam Parliamentar y Secretaries (Appointment, Salaries, Allowances and Miscellaneous Provisions), Act 2004 as unconstitutional, NTC said the appointment of unconstitutional Advisors and unconstitutional Parliamentary Secretaries in Nagaland was deemed to be interfered with by the governor for cancelling/ rescinding the Notification NO. CAB-1/2013 dated July 26, 2017.

SC rejects SLP by Dr. Shürho and party ACAUT to hold mass public rally on Aug 25 ANPSTA serves 30-day Correspondent

KOHIMA, AUG 18 (NPN): NPF president and former chief minister, Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsü suffered a setback after the Supreme Court on Friday refused to admit the former’s Special Leave Petition (Civil) filed in the Supreme Court against NLA Speaker and chief minister T.R. Zeliang as respondents.

When contacted, NPF legislator, Yitachu said that the case-- SLP(C) No. 020048-/2017 registered in the Supreme Court on August 5, was against the Nagaland Governor’s action in summoning an emergent session of the Assembly within a short notice.

Yitachu however maintained that the refusal to admit the SLP was not a setback but just “an academic exercise only” as it would not affect the case in the high court.

He disclosed that there were two more cases to be completed: the disqualification petition which was lying with the NLA

speaker and the question of chief whip of the NPF. Yitachu reiterated that no one can rewrite the law and was optimistic that the law will eventually take its own course so that truth will prevail.

NPF P&IC welcomes decision Meanwhile the NPF faction under its interim president Neiphiu Rio, welcomed the Supreme Court decision in dismissing the SLP. NPF press and information cell (P&IC) stated that the “utter dismissal” by the apex court has blatantly exposed the illegality and the disastrous stand of Dr. Shürhozelie, with regard to the ongoing leadership dispute and the tussle of the NPF Party Cock symbol and flag.

Terming it as a landmark disposal of the case by Justice A.K Sikri and Justice Ashok Bhushan, NPF P&IC said the “NPF led by Neiphiu Rio can safely and assertively conclude that the legal and constitutional foundations of Dr. Shürhozelie and his group are extremely shaky and slippery.”

D I M A P U R , AU G 1 8 (NPN): ACAUT Nagaland has proposed to hold the “mother of rallies” on August 25 in Dimapur to voice out against the pathetic state of affairs in Nagaland crippled with blatant corruption and decay in governance which has led to widespread resentment from all quarters, including students, teachers and the common man.

Coining it as a “public revolution for a better society”, an ACAUT member informed that the proposed public rally would be held at Super Market area on August 25 at 3 p.m.

In this regard, Dimapur Police commissioner, while grating the permit to hold the rally at 4 p.m. on August 25, has also directed the police personnel take all precautionary measures to prevent any untoward incidents.

Meanwhile, ACAUT in a press release said that the scourge of corruption has

shamed us all, and in desperate times such as this, the silent majority cannot afford to be silent anymore at any cost.

What Nagaland needs now is for the silent majority to leave aside their petty differences and stand united in the idea that in the end we are all Nagas, and show to the world that we can break down the mighty wall of corruption created by greed and selfish politics, ACAUT stated.

ACAUT has therefore appealed to every Naga from every creed, denomination, clan and tribe to come out in the streets to make the rally the “mother of all rallies”, in order “to send a strong message that enough is enough, that there is an alternative and better way to live as a society.”

ACAUT also called upon every individual to stop complaining from the comfort zone of their homes, particularly the lakhs of social media bloggers, to attend the rally

Call drops: Trai slaps penalty of upto `10L NEW DELHI, Aug 18 (PTI): Telecom regulator TRAI Friday issued stringent guidelines to curb call drops along with a penalty of up to Rs 10 lakh on service providers if they fail to meet the benchmark for three consecutive quarters. “We have proposed financial disincentive in the range of Rs 1-5 lakh. It is a graded penalty system depending on the performance of a network,” TRAI Chairman RS Sharma told reporters here.

TRAI Secretary (Acting) SK Gupta said if an operator fails to meet call drop benchmark in consecutive quarter, the penalty amount will be increased 1.5 times and in the third consecutive month it will doubled.

“However, there is cap of Rs 10 lakh on financial disincentive,” Gupta said. Under the previous Quality of Service Rule, penalty on call drop was Rs 50,000 per violation.

After the revision, the regulator has made measurement of call drop rate more granular from circle level to mobile towers in a circle.

“There have been some issues

in measurement of call drop. Averages hide a lot of things. Under new rules, we are taking into account temporary issues that may be there in the network as well as geographical spread of the network,” Sharma said.

Under the revised rule, 90 per cent of base transceiver station or mobile site in a telecom circle 90 per cent of time should not fail to handle 98 per cent of the call, which means not more than 2 per cent calls handled by them should drop.

In worst affected case or busy hour of the day, not more than 3 per cent of call drop should be registered on 90 per cent of mobile towers in a telecom circle.

The regulator also fixed benchmark for radio-link time out technology(RLT) - allegedly used by telecom operators for masking call drop. RLT is used for continuation of a call in case a subscriber is moving or is in base network area for short period. It is the time used for connecting call of a subscriber from one mobile tower to another.

Earlier, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) had said that mobile phone operators would have to compensate subscribers on call drops starting January 1, 2016, at the rate of a rupee for each such failure. The decision has left the industry upset with legal help kept as an option.

A notification from TRAI stated the calling consumer will get a credit of R1 per call drop, limited to three such occurrences per day in a 24-hour cycle. Following that, the mobile operators have to send them an SMS within four hours.

It also defined what constituted such a failure: “Call drops means a voice call which, after being successfully established, is interrupted prior to its normal completion — the cause of the early termination being within the network of the service provider.”

TRAI said it examined the representations of telecom operators, who maintain that some issues like poor spectrum allocation and difficulties in setting up towers that were beyond their control and contributing to call drops.

in person and voice their protests at the pathetic road conditions, and the widespread corruption which has robbed the Nagas of dignity as a race in the eyes of the world.

Furthermore, ACAUT fervently appealed to all the tribal hohos, youth organizations, student unions, and the Chamber of Commerce in all the districts of Nagaland to send thousands of people for the rally. Anything less than 50,000 people in the rally would be disappointing, ACAUT stated.

It also appealed to all the Churches in Nagaland to pray for the success of the rally this coming Sunday (August 20).

D u r i n g t h e r a l l y, ACAUT said it would give time to anybody from the districts or far flung villages willing to tell their stories and the scourge of corruption that have affected them the most, for which interested persons have been asked to contact7005070868.

ultimatum on DoSE

DIMAPUR, AUG 18 (NPN): All Nagaland Pre-Service Teacher Association (ANPSTA) has appealed to the Department of School Education (DoSE) to recruit TET qualified primary teachers into 532 vacant posts.

In a representation addressed to the principal director, directorate of school education, the ANPSTA president, Zakielhoukho Sirie, and general secretary, Ajano Z Humtsoe, cautioned that in the event the department failed to consider its representation within a period of 30 days, they would have no option, but to initiate own course of action.

ANPSTA pointed out that despite 532 posts of primary teacher laying vacant in the department for fresh appointment, so far there was no positive outcome from the department.

The association stated that the members having passed the TET examinations conducted in 2013 and 2016 by SCERT, and being professionally trained under SCERT – DIET centres, they have the “fundamental rights and legitimate expectation” to be considered for appointment to the 532 posts of primary teachers laying vacant in various schools within the state.

Footwear dealers Paper trail to be used in all appeal to DMC future elections, says EC

DIMAPUR, AUG 18 (NPN): Footwear dealers of Dimapur have appealed to the Dimapur Municipal Council (DMC) to revoke its notification that proposed to levy toll tax on footwear items.

In a representation to the DMC administrative officer, the 22 footwear dealers questioned how could the toll tax be levied even after the introduction of Goods and Services Tax (GST)?

The signatories stated that since all taxes have been subsumed under GST, imposition of the toll tax would amount to extra taxation and an extra burden on the dealers and consumers.

The footwear dealers have therefore requested the DMC to rethink about the matter and do the needful for its revocation for the general interest of all.

Meanwhile, the footwear dealers also expressed resentment over the imposition of the toll tax on footwear earlier on several occasions.

NEW DELHI, AUG 18 (IANS): All future elections will be held using voter verifiable paper audit trail or VVPAT machines, along with Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), the Election Commission of India (EC) announced on Friday.

Chief Election Commissioner A.K. Joti on Friday told the Chief Electoral Officers (CEOs) of states and Union Territories to develop extensive training programmes on VVPATs to prepare the electoral officers to use the paper trail machines, along with the EVMs. The Commission is holding a two-day conference of CEOs here that started on Friday to “review performance as well as to explore new initiatives and improve election management and voter experience”. Joti also stressed on the need to provide eservices to stakeholders and

the need to develop e-payment gateways for various election services of the EC. He said that systematic voter education and electoral participation (SVEEP) should be developed as a core area of election management.

Last week, Minister of State for Electronics and IT, P.P. Chaudhary told Parliament tha the Election Commission of India was also considering linking the Aadhar number of Voters with their voter ID cards.

The case in question pertains to an application filed by the ECI in the Supreme Court in July 2017 asking the apex court to obtain the Aadhar details from voters in order to link it to the voter database. “Based on the outcome of the case, the Election Commission will consider the proposal of linking Aadhar number for various electoral services, at an appropriate time,” Chaudhary said.

Dr Abemo Odyuo releases the book on Friday. (NP) Staff reporter D I M A P U R , AU G 1 8 (NPN): A book titled “Wounded Tiger: The Papers of Khodao Yanthan”—a collection of stories and letters by late Khodao Yanthan—with introduction and epilogue by Fr. Abraham Lotha was launched on Friday at Elim Hall, Dimapur Ao Baptist Arogo (DABA). Published by Heritage Publishing House, the book was released by Controller of Examinations, Nagaland University, Dr. Abemo Lotha.

Releasing the book, Dr. Abemo said the good deeds and sacrifices of late Khodao Yanthan have come more alive with the launch of the book. He hoped that the book would inspire and enlighten many Nagas, especially the younger generation.

In a brief address, Fr. Abraham Lotha said he decided to compile the stories and letters of late Khodao Yanthan when he met the latter in London few years

back.

He described late Khodao as one of the foundational characters for Naga identity and struggle, and that it was important for the present generation to engage with the roots.

He then quoted one of Khodao’s writings, “It is not the name (of factions) that will bring us independence, but it is our togetherness”.

Fr. Abraham said the book was a collection of stories and letters by late Khodao Yanthan, a freedom fighter who left an exemplary legacy of humility and sacrifice. He added that the book unfurls the focus and willingness late Khodao had for the greater good of Nagaland and amplifies his statesmanship.

The book contains four parts which cover “introduction and experiences”, “heart of the patriot”, “arrival to London” and various interviews. Many rare photographs from 1947 till his death have also been included. The book has been meticulously researched and compiled in its originality and entirety.

Crime graph on the rise in Meghalaya

Guwahati, Aug 18 (PTI): An object, suspected to be improvised explosive device (IED), was Friday recovered from a Silcharbound parcel baggage in Guwahati railway station which was later destroyed by officials.

A Home Guard on duty at the Railway Mail Service (RMS) area behind platform number 1, heard something tick from the parcel baggage around 9.45 am and immediately informed the Government Railway Police, a GRP official told PTI. The GRP then informed the local police who arrived at the spot with bomb disposal squad for removing the baggage to an isolated place and safely detonating it, the official said.

Several passengers were waiting at the station at the time as trains in and out of Assam were cancelled due to floods and damage to railway tracks in Bihar and West Bengal, he added.

Director General of Police, Mukesh Sahay said it was not immediately known if the parcel contained a bomb or if a militant outfit

was behind it.

“We will have to first detect if it is a bomb. Only after that will the question of who is involved will come up”, the DGP said.

Asked why there was no CCTV in the RMS area, Sahay said, “that only the Railway authority can comment on. It is good to have CCTV but nevertheless, a security personnel detected it”.

The suspicious object was taken in a special truck to an open and deserted area on the outskirts of Guwahati where it was safely detonated, said a bomb disposal official.

The official suspected it to be a hand-made IED fitted with a programmable timer. Without detailed investigations, he said, it could not be immediately ascertained if it was a bomb.

The parcel sorting officials at the RMS yard said that the baggage with several articles had a GPO seal marked for Silchar in south Assam’s Barak Valley to be transported by a truck as railway services were suspended for the last 10 days due to floods.

SHILLONG, Aug 18 (Agencies): In an indication that incidents of crime are on the rise in Meghalaya, more than 1400 cases of cognizable crimes have been registered under various Sections of Indian Penal Code (IPC) in first five months of the current year.

Crime statistics available with Meghalaya Police disclose that 1450 cognizable crimes have been registered in the state during January to May this year including 43 rape cases and two cases of gang rape.

including Rohingyas as they “pose security threat.” The government has expressed its fear that illegal immigrants are more vulnerable to getting recruited by terrorist organisations besides the fact that they are “burden on the limited resources of India.”

Currently, there are around 40,000 Rohingya Muslims living illegally in India.

The NHRC has observed that even though the refugees are foreign nationals, they “are human beings” and before taking a big step, the government of India has to look into

every aspect of the situation, keeping the fact into focus that the members of the Rohingya community, who have crossed into the Indian borders and are residing here for long, have a fear of persecution once they are pushed back to their native country.

A statement by NHRC said, “.....the Supreme Court of India has consistently held that the fundamental right enshrined under Article 21 of the Indian constitution regarding Right to Life and Personal Liberty, applies to all, irrespective of the fact whether they are citizens of India or not.”

It further noted that India has been home to refugees, for centuries. It has continued to receive a large number of refugees from different countries. India is not a signatory to the 1951 Convention on Refugees and also the 1967 Protocol.

But India is a signatory to a number of United Nations and World Conventions on Human Rights. “Till today, the country has evolved a practical balance between human and humanitarian obligations on the one hand and security and national interest on the other,” it said.

The Rohingyas, who fled to India after violence in the western Rakhine state of Myanmar, have settled in Jammu, Hyderabad, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, DelhiNCR and Rajasthan.

The ministry of home affairs officials have stated that India was going ahead with plans to deport Rohingyas and is in discussions with Myanmar and Bangladesh governments on the issue.

The government is also planning to set up “detention centres” for the refugees and if required “push them back” over the India-Myanmar border, if Myanmar refuses to accept the refugees back.

Seven arrested in Bihar for killing calf Patna, Aug 18 (IANS): Seven Muslims were arrested in Bihar’s West Champaran district for allegedly for killing a calf and consuming its meat, police said on Friday.

Chanpatia SHO Rajesh Jha said that the seven, all residents of Dumra village, were arrested on Thursday after police were informed that they had violated the ban over cow slaughter by killing a calf. “Accused have confessed that they had killed a calf and consumed its meat,” he said, adding investigation in this case is underway. Jha said some local cow vigilantes informed police that Mohammad Shahabuddin of Dumra had killed a cow and was consuming its meat. “Police have found evidence of it when police entered his house and accused also confessed about his crime,” he said. However, Jha downplayed the reported demand of a mob, with bamboo sticks in their hands, to hand over arrested people to them for “justice”. Local Hindi dailies have reported that the mob staged a protest and pelted stones at the police vehicle after they refused to hand them over. According to local sources in the district, some Bajrang Dal activists along with two BJP workers instigated local villagers and gathered a mob to attack Shahabuddin’s house, beat up the residents but police arrived by that time and rescued them.

Govt says will continue to engage with China

New Delhi, AUG 18 (AGENCIES): India on Friday said it will continue to engage with China to find a mutually acceptable solution to the Doklam standoff, while confirming that “an incident” did take place with Chinese troops near Pangong Lake in Ladakh three days ago.

MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said peace and tranquility in the border areas is an important pre-requisite for smooth development of bilateral relationship.

“We will continue to engage with China to find a mutually acceptable solution,” he said.

Asked about incident between Chinese troops

and Indian border guards in Ladakh on August 15, the Kumar said, “I can confirm that there was an incident at Pangong Tso on August 15...Such incidents are not in the interest of either side.”

According to reports, Chinese soldiers were said to have attempted to cross the Line of Actual Control near Pangong Lake, but were stopped by Indian soldiers. Sources said, there was a heated exchange of words and a standoff between the troops continued for more than an hour, during which stone-pelting was also reported.

Kumar said two border personnel meetings (BPMs) had taken place

between Indian border guards and Chinese troops recently -- one in Chushul on August 16 and another at Nathu La a week before.

When asked whether China had shared hydrological data with India as floods have severely hit Assam and Bihar, Kumar said no such data was received from Beijing on Brahmaputra this year.

India and China have an existing mechanism under which both countries share hydrological data.

Kumar said non sharing of hydrological data

by China cannot be linked to the current standoff as there can be technical reasons for it.

Delhi accident victim cries for help for 12 hrs HC directs UP govt to explain on Gorakhpur hospital incident

Narender Kumar is being treated for injury in spine, legs and hands at Safdarjug hospital in Delhi.

New Delhi, AUG 18 (AGENCIES): Of the countless pedestrians, who walked past an injured Narender Kumar near Kashmere Gate interstate bus terminus in north Delhi for over 12 hours, many had stopped to look at him before walking away.

But the apathy shown by people towards an accident victim is not the only shocking part here. The city revealed an uglier side when a couple of passersby made away with his phone, a bag of cash and Rs 12 that had fallen out of his pocket instead of rushing him to a hospital or informing the police.

“I had injured my spine after being hit by a speeding car. So, I could not move from my position.

But I had not bled and was conscious the entire time,” Kumar told HT over phone from Safdarjung Hospital

HC extends bail of 1984 antiSikh riots convict New Delhi, Aug 18 (IANS): The Delhi High Court on Friday extended, till August 24, the interim bail granted to Balwan Khokhar, a former Congress councillor, awarded life sentence in 1984 antiSikh riots case. Khokhar has sought extension of bail till October to arrange funds to pay his lawyers and finalise the sale of his properties.

On July 20, Khokhar was granted interim bail and this was extended later. In 2013, the trial court had acquitted Congress leader Sajjan Kumar in the case but Khokhar was convicted along with four others. Retired naval officer Captain Bhagmal, Girdhari Lal, former MLA Mahender Yadav and Kishan Khokhar were held guilty along with Balwan Khokhar.

on Friday.

“People stopped to look at me. I pleaded with them for help, but they didn’t care. Since I was not bleeding, many thought I must have been drunk,” he said.

Kumar, who works as a driver in Jaipur, Rajasthan, was hit by a speeding car while crossing a road near Kashmere Gate on August 15. The car has remained unidentified. Kumar is admitted to the hospital where the police took him after receiving a call from a passerby around 5 am on Wednesday, almost 12 hours after the accident.

He is being treated for injuries in his legs, neck and spine. Doctors said he is out of danger. Remembering that night, Kumar said at least two pedestrians had offered him water when he begged for help. One of them walked away after giv-

ing him water. Another man instead decided to steal his bag. The bag contained Rs 15,000 in cash, said Kumar.

The pedestrian walked away with his bag, Kumar said, and his cry for help did not bother him. His phone was also lying on the road which, he said, was picked up by another man who walked past without taking a second look at him.

Kashmere Gate has one of the busiest bus terminals and a metro station. The area remains buzzing with people and vehicles at all times.

“Two other pedestrians did show an intention to help. But they could not call for help as they said they did not have mobile phones. So they just left,” Kumar said.

After finally receiving a call early next morning, the police took him to Sushruta Trauma Centre before he was referred to Safdurjung Hospital.

New Delhi, AUG 18 (AGENCIES): The Allahabad High Court on Friday directed the Uttar Pradesh government to explain and present before it the findings of its probe into the death of children in BRD medical college in Gorakhpur, While it is alleged that the 30 children died due to disruption of oxygen supply in the hospital on August 10 and 11, the government has dismissed the claim.

Hearing a bunch of five PILs seeking high-level probes into the Gorakhpur hospital incident, a division bench of Chief Justice D. B. Bhosale and Justice Yashwant Varma directed the U.P. government to file a counter affidavit stating what it had done and found

• •

The Indian Medical Association (IMA) on Friday said that its fact-finding team had found oxygen supply was interrupted for a short while on the night of August 10 at Baba Raghav Das (BRD) Medical College in Gorakhpur, leading to more deaths.

The IMA, which had called a suo motu inquiry into the deaths of over 70 children, said its team found out that the liquid oxygen supplier of the hospital had not been paid his dues since

the last five months and cleanliness of the hospital was also unsatisfactory.

“Presence of dogs and rats in hospitals is not acceptable by any standards in the hospital premises.

The hospital was handling these cases and other critically ill patients much more than its capacity. There is no facility in Gorakhpur and nearby districts to manage encephalitis,” said the report by a three-member IMA team.

It also found that no

alert was issued by the hospital administration regarding shortage of oxygen, adding that the treating doctors should have been alerted seven days before that a fresh oxygen supply would not be received.

According to the IMA, there are many other discrepancies in the health system of Uttar Pradesh such as ICUs in 10 districts of eastern Uttar Pradesh do not function because of lack of staff and other resources.

Nature’s wrath

lobal climate change is no longer just an issue of concern but a tragedy that has struck with fury on millions of people across the world, when abnormally heavy rains caused flash floods, triggered landslides, destroyed bridges and dwellings and taking the lives of several hundreds.

The north east region also experienced it worst ever monsoon fury which rendered several thousand were rendered homeless in the ravaged towns, villages and cutting off communication in several areas. The state governments were helpless to prevent nature’s fury from wreaking such havoc.

Assam bore the brunt of the flood fury as the mighty Brahmaputra, the source of livelihood brought death and destruction instead. The havoc was a combined net effect of raging flood from torrential rains, silting due to unchecked deforestation and failure of successive state governments to implement effective preventive measures. The monsoon rains turned Assam into a vast lake inundating hundreds of villages and affecting lakhs of people in 25 districts.

The swift flowing tributaries of the Brahmaputra gushing down from the mountains provided the momentum that led to displacement, destruction, disease and deaths. Hundreds of human lives and animals have been lost and several thousands still marooned and lakhs taking shelter in makeshift camps in highlands. This year the floods have been particularly severe and even rail links from Northeast to rest of India have been cut off with lines snapped in several places in Assam, North Bengal and even Bihar. The sad part is that even after 70 years of independence, the annual floods in Assam has not been contained through effective solution.

Thousands of crores rupees have been spent on flood control, embankments, relief and rehabilitation etc, but all efforts seem to be ad-hoc, meant only to tide over an immediate crisis. It is not only the downstream Brahmaputra and Barak Valleys which bear the brunt of the annual water woes, but also the hill states of Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland and Meghalaya. The degradation of forest cover in the north east , is a major factor for floods as massive erosion both in the upper reaches and valleys caused heavy silting which in turn raise river beds with the resultant overflow flooding the lowlands. It is noteworthy, however that when prime minister Narendra Modi visited Assam recently to take stock of the flood situation, the first step was taken to put in place a strategy to deal with such natural calamities. Modi toured the flood hit areas, saw first hand the sea of sorrow, and disbursed immediate financial relief besides initiating the formation of a High Level Committee to find permanent solutions to the problem.

A national level meet is scheduled for September this year, in Guwahati where effective plans are expected to emerge out of a detailed study undertaken by experts. A sum of Rs.100 crore was allocated by the Centre for this purpose. On its part, the Assam government is also going in for major reform of its Water Resources Department and is purchasing dredgers for desilting some of the tributaries of the Brahmaputra on an experimental basis. The plans are ambitious and hopefully making Brahmaputra as National Water –II would change the concept and economy of the region. A holistic approach has to be taken to include all environmental parameters in working out the requisite strategy.

DailyDevotion Have You Ever Been Speechless with Sorrow?

When he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich. —Luke 18:23 The rich young ruler went away from Jesus speechless with sorrow, having nothing to say in response to Jesus’ words. He had no doubt about what Jesus had said or what it meant, and it produced in him a sorrow with no words with which to respond. Have you ever been there? Has God’s Word ever come to you, pointing out an area of your life, requiring you to yield it to Him? Maybe He has pointed out certain personal qualities, desires, and interests, or possibly relationships of your heart and mind. If so, then you have often been speechless with sorrow. The Lord will not go after you, and He will not plead with you. But every time He meets you at the place where He has pointed, He will simply repeat His words, saying, “If you really mean what you say, these are the conditions.”

“Sell all that you have…” (Luke 18:22). In other words, rid yourself before God of everything that might be considered a possession until you are a mere conscious human being standing before Him, and then give God that. That is where the battle is truly fought— in the realm of your will before God. Are you more devoted to your idea of what Jesus wants than to Jesus Himself? If so, you are likely to hear one of His harsh and unyielding statements that will produce sorrow in you. What Jesus says is difficult— it is only easy when it is heard by those who have His nature in them. Beware of allowing anything to soften the hard words of Jesus Christ.

I can be so rich in my own poverty, or in the awareness of the fact that I am nobody, that I will never be a disciple of Jesus. Or I can be so rich in the awareness that I am somebody that I will never be a disciple. Am I willing to be destitute and poor even in my sense of awareness of my destitution and poverty? If not, that is why I become discouraged. Discouragement is disillusioned self-love, and self-love may be love for my devotion to Jesus— not love for Jesus Himself.

Post-mortem The law is mightier than the pen Farm Loan Waivers: Why bad economics makes for good politics T

S

everal state governments have waived off farm loans over the past few months. The second volume of the Economic Survey released late last week analyses the economic impact of this phenomenon. Here are the points that the Survey makes: a) What farm loan waivers basically do is that they transfer debt from the level of individuals and households to that of the state governments. When a state government waives off farm loans it needs to compensate the banks which had originally given the loans to farmers. Hence, it ends up with the debt of the farmers.

The Economic Survey expects the farm loan waive offs to cost anywhere between Rs 2.2 lakh crore and Rs 2.7 lakh crore. As the Survey points out: “It is assumed that waivers will apply at the loan rather than household level, since it will be administratively difficult to aggregate loans across households.

It is also assumed that other states will follow the UP model. On this basis, an upper bound of loan waivers at the All-India level would be between Rs. 2.2 and Rs. 2.7 lakh crore.”

This is simply because the demand for waive offs will come from other states as well and the state governments are expected to comply. The Survey points out that “the widespread demand for loan waivers could simply be a demonstration effect from the UP loan waiver.” b) The Survey believes that waivers will reduce demand in the country to that extent of Rs 1.1 lakh crore or 0.7 per cent of the GDP. This will be a huge deflationary shock to the economy. c) The farmers will benefit from the waive off and increase their consumption, the Survey says. While, this sounds true in theory, the actual evidence from 2008-2009 when the central government had announced farm loan waivers, is different. Research found that actual consumption did not go up after the farm loan waivers. d) The state governments will have to borrow more in order to compensate the banks which have given loans to farmers. A part of the compensation for the banks will also come from the governments having to cut their expenditure in other areas. Since the governments will not be in a position to cut their regular expenditure like salaries, repayment of interest on the outstanding debt, etc., it will have to cut the asset creating capital expenditure.

As the Survey points out: “a recent illustration is Uttar Pradesh which has slashed capital expenditure by 13 per cent (excluding UDAY) to accommodate the loan waiver.”

This is a point that the latest monetary policy statement of the Reserve Bank of India, also made: “Farm loan waivers are likely to compel a cutback on capital expenditure, with adverse implications for the already damped capex cycle.” e) Also, the state governments are yet to clearly define who will benefit from the waivers and who won’t. This essentially leads to two points. One, it is difficult to come up with the overall cost of the waivers. Two, in order to implement the waivers, the state governments need to come up with clear definitions. This basically means that any implementation will take time and the benefits won’t be immediate.

As the Survey points out: “Three states have been specific about the waiver schemes: UP has announced waivers of up to Rs. 1 lakh for all small and marginal farmers; Punjab’s limit is Rs. 2 lakh for small farmers without defining who these are; and Karnataka has limited the waiver amount to Rs. 50,000 (Maharashtra’s waiver terms are still unclear). The waiver announcements also do not make clear whether the amounts will apply to households or loans: typically, a household will have more than one loan.” f) There are other negative effects of the waiver as well. Credit discipline (or the basic idea that loans need to be repaid) goes for a toss. Further, it benefits only those who borrowed from formal sources. Also, a “World Bank study found that lending increased following the 2008-09 waiver even if not in the districts with greater exposure to the waiver.”

Given these negatives on the economic front, it is important to ask why are farm loan waivers being made. The reason for this is fairly straightforward: the gains of farm loan waivers are more visible than losses.

When farm loan waivers are announced in one state, a large section of the farmers in that state who had taken on loans from the banking system, benefit from it. This is a clear visible effect, which the governments like to cater to.

The negative effects are not so visible.

Now take the case of a state government which needs to borrow more in order to pay off the banks which had made

the farm loans in the first place. It will end up paying a higher rate of interest on its increased borrowings because at the end of the day the financial system has only so much money that can be borrowed. And any increased demand leads to higher interest rates.

As the Economic Survey points out: “Demands for farm loan waivers have emerged at a time when state finances have been deteriorating. The UDAY scheme has led to rising market borrowings by the states, expected soon to overtake central government borrowings. As a result, spreads on state government bonds relative to g-secs have steadily risen by about 60 basis points.”

The UDAY scheme was basically debt restructuring scheme which moved debt from the balance sheets of power companies run by state governments to that of the balance sheets of the state governments. Due to this the interest paid by state governments on their debt is around 60 basis points higher than that paid by the central government on its debt. The extra borrowing because of the farm loan waivers will only push up this rate of interest for state governments, making things even more difficult for them.

At the same time, states will also have to cut down on their capital expenditure in order to finance a part of their waiver. The deflationary shock because of this will be spread across the length and breadth of the country.

Hence, each individual will have to take on only a small part of the pain. And he or she may not even feel it in the first place. These are negative impacts of farm loan waivers, which are not as clearly visible in comparison to the direct benefit to farmers whose loans have been waived off.

Or take the case of the government of Maharashtra charging a drought cess of Rs 9 every time one litre of petrol is bought in the state. Why is this cess even there during a time when there is really no drought in the state? It is there so that the government can meet its expenditure on account of farm loan waivers and other expenses.

The question is how many people even know that such a cess exists, in the first place. The point is that there no free lunches when it comes to economics.

It’s just that their cost is not visible many times and politicians simply make use of that.

Vivek Kaul

R Zeliang seems to have got his priorities wrong when he said that the voice of the majority always prevails because the majority of legislators matters inside the Assembly, but not in the political party they belong to. More so when the legislators themselves have either been expelled or suspended from the political party from which they got themselves elected. And it is a crying shame that these discarded legislators are still clinging desperately and wistfully to their memory that is the NPF! It is true that majority of the MLAs have made him the Chief Minister. But the pertinent issue at hand is whether the process followed to become the Chief Minister was legal or not.

Paragraph 2 (1) (b) of the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution of India states that “a member of a House belonging to any political party shall be disqualified for being a member of the House if he votes or abstains from voting in such House contrary to any direction issued by the political party to which he belongs or any person or authority authorized by it in this behalf…”

This makes it abundantly clear that it is the political party, and not the Legislature Party, which appoints the Whip which is the person or authority authorized by the political party to issue directions regarding voting in the House.

In the instant case, the Whip appointed by the Naga People’s Front is Kiyanilie Peseyie who was appointed at the Chief Whip of the NPF on November 14, 2014 and notified by the Assembly Secretariat on November 15, 2014. His appointment has not been cancelled/ rescinded till date. It was this very Whip which saved TR Zeliang in the early part of 2015 when the Sovima campers mustered majority MLAs and rebelled against his leadership.

Bare perusal of Para-

graph 2 (1) (b) of the Tenth Schedule makes it amply clear that there is no power vested with the Legislature Party of any political party to appoint a Whip, apart from and independent of the Political Party.

TR Zeliang seems to have been unreasonably buoyed by the fact that some expelled party functionaries have joined his bandwagon.

Unreasonable, because these functionaries have no say whatever, regarding the cohesion and integrity of the NPF party. Rotten potatoes are best discarded, and these potatoes may not do any good to anyone wherever they go.

TR Zeliang got his facts right when he said it is not in the power of any individual to alter the Constitution of the NPF. And it is sure to tickle him pink when he is informed that the 8th Amendment of the Constitution of the NPF was approved by the Central Executive Council on January 29, 2016 in furtherance to the decision of the General Conference of the party on November 26, 2014 to “streamline and achieve an efficient working system” of the Central Office. He could become nostalgic, nay, almighty sentimental when reminded that it was this same Constitution which saved him from being toppled from his Chair as recent as 2015!

The NPF absolutely agrees with him when he said the rank and file of the NPF party should uphold the true spirit of the party because everyone is confident that the Election Commission of India would soon restore the party properties to the rightful party as desired by the majority of the party functionaries like it did in 2015.

Retrospection on the Prime Minister’s speech on 15th August

T

he Prime Minister who addressed the nation of the 71st Independence day on 15th August from the ramparts of the historic Red Fort was televised and millions of Indians across the country were keenly listening to his usual emotionally-charged tone of voice which was distressful to many, especially who believe life in the otherworldly, when he said: “Patriotism knows no religion”. This statement clearly reflects his haughtiness, his stubbornly inflexible arrogance and his absolute

rejection of the existence of God who will destroy all nations with “fire and brimstones’’ someday. In his heart, God is held in second place and power is all what mattered to him. Perhaps, he fails to know what Albert Einstein once said: “Heroism in command, senseless violence and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism – how passionately I hate and how vile and despicable war to me.”

He said he would rather to be hacked in pieces than to take part in such an abominable business.

Patriotism should have been interpreted in terms of “Love of one’s own country”, and obviously not to the exclusion of one’s religion which is like an inseparable body just as we cannot dissect the head from the body.

He went on to say: “Fanatics cannot use religion to divide the country” when the Prime Minister Modi himself is fanatical tyrant, who is all out to decimate the adherents of Christianity and Muslim calling them as rebellious, through its strong organization RSS and promote Hinduism in the

country on the principle of one country and one religion.

Donald Trump, on the other side, is threatening North Korea with “fire and fury” which he said would be too terrible for the North Korea. We all know how great leaders of the world are suffering from acute delusions of grandeur, and they sometimes tend to behave in fanatical way as they are already being drunk with their political ideologies.

They can be compared to a pagan god of Thor and Vulcan – not a Christian God of love. In Norse

Let the law decide

am shocked to learn this morning that some unidentified persons went to the residence of Shilumar, Press Secretary of Rio group to “discuss about the statement issued by him…”

One may or may not agree with what someone writes in the newspapers, but that does not mean one should make visits personally with whatever intentions. I, for one, do not agree with most of the things my young friend Shilumar writes, such as serving a 15-day ultimatum to Dr Shurhozelie to step down as Party President and reminding him to hand over moveable and immovable properties before August 13. Such unconstitutional demands are ridiculous bordering to the absurd because the Constitution of the NPF clearly mentions about the procedure for election of party President and Central Office Bearers etc.

The legislators of the party are not authorized or competent to elect or appoint any functionary of the political party NPF least of all, the President. Usage of unsavory language such as “failure to comply to the directives, we shall be compelled to initiate our own course of actions and the consequences and negative fallout, if any, Dr Shurhozelie Liezietsu will be held accountable” (sic) is most regrettable and uncalled for. However, I shall be the first to protest, argue and point out that he, Shilumar, has every right to write whatever he believes in. His right to express himself in any media is an inalienable democratic right which cannot be deprived by any person, group of persons or any authority.

Differences of opinions should be settled through discussions using appropriate platforms and never through physi-

cal confrontations. One must not think of imposing one’s school of thoughts forcibly through coercion or intimidation. After all, we are no longer living in the days of headhunting where might was right and political inclinations, it must be kept in mind, would differ from person to person depending on beliefs, ideologies and personal relations.

The ongoing political crisis in the State is most unfortunate and the political grouping within the Naga People’s Front family is disheartening. However, rule of law must prevail and since the matter is being taken to the Courts of law, we all must be patient and wait for the outcome of the verdict. Let no one take the law into their own hands.

mythology, Thor is the god of thunder who is the strongest of all gods who would fight the Serpent of the World, kill it, and then died. Vulcan is the Roman god of fire, especially destructive fire and volcanic activity.

All great leaders of the world who have mechanical power at their command is likely, if uncontrolled, to feel themselves as god.

What Bertrand Russell said in his book “Power” is all too relevant of what is happening around the world today, when it says: “In the former days, man sold themselves to the Devil to

acquire magical powers.

Nowadays they acquire those powers from science, and find themselves compelled to be devils. There is no hope for the world unless power is tamed, and brought into service, not of this or that group of fanatical tyrants, but the whole human race, white and yellow and black, fascist and communist and democrats; for science has made it inevitable that all must live or all must die.”

Let us all opt the former one as we all must live.

Reader’s Post The future of philately in age of internet

Sir,

India Post Philately Bureau proudly displays a variety of iconic stamps and educates visitors. There are FDCs (First Day Covers), Broachers as well as new Postal Stationery (Collectors’ packs, Miniatures/Souvenir Sheets). Also it has stamps on various themes and personalities and even scented stamps. Nowadays one can subscribe online through IndiaPost. A specially ordered “Personalised stamp” (called MyStamp – individual/family photo or company logo printed next to base stamp design) can also be used for postage. It is a significant step by India Post for issuing commemorative stamps with catalogue to honour the historic event from time to time.

I opened Philatelic Deposit (PD) Account for our daughter during her kindergarten days. It is not recharged for a couple of years. Recently we received a correspondence from GPO stating assist of the said account. It is a great pleasure to receive philatelic letter in this age of the internet where it is harder to receive letters any more. The endeavour of their effort is truly appreciable. It may be of great help for those avid stamp collectors besides local philatelists and pen friends across the country and abroad.

Many refused to believe that philately is dead. Should we be worried about the decline of PD account? Merchandising product like T-shirt and popular stamps on mugs could attract people to gain interest in philately. Mumbai bureau could catch youngsters the bug and the word-of-mouth during Tendulkar retirement. India Post has been the backbone for communication and played a crucial role for socioeconomic development. The internet may offer a huge opportunity for attracting new collectors. Despite several constraints to this broadening of the hobby, Philately bureau will continue to serve for Philatelist. India post is rising.

New Delhi, Aug 18 (IANS): As reports surfaced of a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 smartphone catching fire in Andhra Pradesh, injuring its user, the Chinese smartphone maker on Friday said “extreme external force” was applied to the device which may have caused the incident.

Bhavana Suryakiran sustained minor burn injuries on his thigh as the Redmi Note 4 he was carrying in his trouser pocket caught fire in Ravulapalem town in East Godavari district earlier this week.

“We would like to clarify a recent incident of a damaged Redmi Note 4 in East Godavari, Andhra Pradesh.

Crude oil is used to make petrol and diesel as also kerosene, LPG and industrial fuels like naptha, fuel oil and bitumen. While other industries can claim input tax credit or set off tax paid on inputs with that paid on the final product, these industries cannot do so as crude oil, three petroleum products and natural gas are out of the GST’s ambit. This raises cost for the industries using either of the five products as inputs.

New Delhi, Aug 18 (PTI): Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has written to state chief ministers seeking a cut in sales tax or VAT on fuels like natural gas that have been kept out of the GST but are used as inputs for goods that come under the new indirect tax regime.

Barcelona death toll rises to 14 Using vehicles as weapons

The van that ploughed into the crowd is towed away from Las Ramblas in Barcelona.

JERUSALEM, AUG 18 (AGENCIES): Israel’s Supreme Court has frozen implementation of a law legalising dozens of Jewish settlements built on private Palestinian land, which the UN labelled a “thick red line”, reports AFP. The decision was condemned by rightwing Israeli politicians who accused the judiciary of overruling the will of Israel’s parliament.

Court documents seen

by AFP Friday show that Judge Neal Hendel issued Thursday an open-ended restraining order suspending a bill passed by parliament that would retroactively legalise a number of outposts across the occupied West Bank.

The decision was in response to a petition brought by 17 Palestinian local councils on whose land the settlements are built.

Sierra Leone floods death toll passes 400: Red Cross G E N E VA , A U G 1 8 (AFP): The death toll from devastating floods in Sierra Leone has passed 400 while an estimated 600 others remain missing, a senior Red Cross official said today.

“Today we are counting more than 400 people dead,” the president of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent societies, Elhadj As Sy, told reporters in Geneva. An unofficial morgue toll had previously put the toll at around 400 dead, but the figure had not been officially confirmed. Sy said the government of the West African country was facing a crisis “way beyond (its) capacity” and appealed to the international community to significantly ramp up its support. The displaced are still sleeping outside “because there are not enough shelters for everybody,” he said.

Finnish police said in a news conference that two people have died and six needed hospital treatment after a knife attack in the city of Turku.

Police had yet to confirm how many people had been wounded but witnesses said they had seen several bodies lying on the ground in a busy area of the southwestern city.

Police shot one suspect in the legs and arrested him, while security forces wrote on Twitter that police were “looking for other possible perpetrators.”

“They ask the population to leave and avoid central Turku,” the tweet added.

MTV3 television reported that police have raised security at Helsinki airport and at train stations. In Germany, the stabbing attack happened in the western city of Wuppertal, about 20 kilometers (12 miles) east of Duesseldorf.

Police said they are searching for up to three men who ran away after a stabbing at a store near the city center that left one person dead and another injured.

Prepared militarily, will act if N Korea launches missile: US WASHINGTON, AUG 18 (PTI): The US has warned North Korea that it was prepared to meet any eventuality and will take “immediate specific actions” if Pyongyang launches a missile attack against it or its allies.

The US’ strong assertion comes days after President Donald Trump pledged to answer further aggression from North Korea with “fire and fury”.

Speaking at a news conference jointly addressed

by US Defence Secretary James Mattis, Japanese Foreign minister Taro Kono and Defence minister Itsunori Onodera, Tillerson said the country was prepared to meet any eventuality from the North Koreans, and sought to make it clear that use of the force was not the “preferred pathway” of the US. “We are prepared, we are prepared militarily, we are prepared with our allies to respond, if that is necessary. That (military) is not our preferred pathway.

Israel freezes controversial settlement law

sibility for an attack in which a van ran over pedestrians here in Las Ramblas boulevard. At least 13 persons were killed and more than 100 injured.

Confirming the death toll, Head of Catalonia’s Regional Interior Department Joaquim Forn said in a tweet on Thursday, “My strongest condemnation of the terrorist attack in Barcelona. We can confirm 13 deaths.”He added that 15 of the injured were in serious condition and that the death toll was likely to rise, Efe news reported.

Claiming the attack, jihadi-affiliated news agency Amaq said the attackers were “soldiers of Islamic State”. “We’re united in grief,” Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said in a televised address after rushing to Barcelona, the biggest city in Catalonia, a region in Spain’s northeast whose separatist government is defying Madrid.

“Above all, we’re united in the firm intention to defeat those who want to take our values and way of life from us, “Rajoy added.

A driver deliberately ploughed a van into pedestrians in Barcelona today, killing 14 people in what police called a “terrorist attack”.

Vehicles have been used as weapons of terror several times over the past year, often by followers of the Islamic State (IS) group, attacking nations in the US-led coalition fighting the jihadists in Iraq and Syria.

The IS propaganda agency Amaq claimed that “soldiers” from the jihadist group carried out the attack, according to the Site Intelligence Group which monitors Islamist websites.

Police said they had arrested two suspects. On July 14, 2016, Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, a 31year-old Tunisian, ploughs a 19-tonne truck into a Bastille Day crowd leaving a fireworks display in Nice on the Promenade des Anglais, killing 86 people on the famous beachfront avenue. IS later claims Bouhlel as one of its followers.

- On June 19, 2007, Adam Dzaziri, a 31-year-old radicalised Islamist who had sworn allegiance to the IS, is killed when he rams a car loaded with guns and a gas canister into a police van on Paris’s Champs-Elysees. No one else is injured.

- On August 19, 2017, a 36-year-old Algerian man, named as Hamou B., drives a BMW into soldiers outside a barracks in the western Paris suburb of LevalloisPerret, injuring six.

BARCELONA, AUG 18 (AGENCIES): The death toll in a double attack in Spain rose to 14, emergency services said on Friday, as the country reeled from the two vehicle rampages that saw drivers plough into pedestrians in Barcelona and Cambrils, another seaside town.

The emergency services said a woman injured in the Cambrils attack has died, bringing the total to 14 in both attacks.

Earlier in the day, the Spanish police said that they had shot dead ‘four suspected terrorists’ and left another injured, who later succumbed to his injuries early Friday in Cambrils, a city south of Barcelona where a van mowed into pedestrians on Thursday evening killing at least 13 people. The regional government of Catalonia, where both Barcelona and Cambrils are located, also confirmed the incident, which police had earlier qualified as a “possible terrorist attack.”

Responding to a question after the ‘two-plus-two’ US-Japan talks, Japanese Defence minister Onodera said that in the event there is an attack on Japan, they will use assets available to them for the missile defence.

“But should different circumstances occur, then we will solidify the relation that we have with the US with close communication.

We will defend the country, and that is what we discussed today,” he said.

Tillerson said the Nor th Korean regime should engage in diplomatic talks to bring better results, unlike in the past.

“So, our effort is to cause them (North Korean regime) to want to engage in

talks, but engage in talks with an understanding that these talks will lead to a different conclusion than talks of the past. We will continue that effort diplomatically, first and foremost,” he said.

But, knowing that North Korea sits with a significant capability already within their grasp, I think it is only prudent that they fully understand the consequences, should they make a bad choice for themselves. And, obviously, there are consequences for others as well,” Tillerson added.

According to Onodera, North Korea has plans to launch ballistic missiles to the waters close to Guam. It is also advancing on their efforts to launch ICBMclass ballistic missiles, miniaturising nuclear weapons to warheads.

It’s set for release on October 13, and sees Plant collaborating with the likes of The Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde and folk singer Seth Lakeman.

“It’s about intention, I respect and relish my past works but each time I feel the lure and incentive to create new work”, Plant said of the new album.

“I must mix old with new. Consequently, the whole impetus of the band has moved on its axis somewhat, the new sound and different space giving way to exciting and dramatic landscapes of mood, melody and instrumentation.”

He’s also set to head out on a tour of UK and Ireland in November featuring stop-offs in Plymouth, Bristol, Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham, and London.

CAS said in a statement that the athlete violated antidoping rules related to the use of a prohibited substance.

“A period of ineligibility of four (4) years is imposed on Ms Anna Pyatykh starting on 15 December 2016, the date of commencement of her provisional suspension,” CAS added.

“The results achieved

by Ms Anna Pyatykh at the IAAF World Championships in Osaka, Japan on 31 August 2007, and from 6 July 2013 to 15 December 2016 are disqualified,” The court added. This means that Pyatykh lost her two bronze medals she won at World Championships in Osaka in 2007 and Berlin 2009. The Congress of International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) decided earlier in August to uphold the ban imposed on Russia from taking part in any internaK Y M C

tional competitions due to a state-sponsored doping program in the country, and so did the Council of the IAAF during its meeting in London.

But the eighth-ranked ODI side do not have history on their side.

They were swept aside

by India 5-0 in their last ODI series in 2014, and more recently bowed out of the Champions Trophy short-format contest in the first round.

India, whose last tour of Sri Lanka in 2015 ushered in a new era of supremacy for the top-ranked Test side, are looking to ride their sweep of Test victories into the shorterformat series. The loss of their Champions Trophy title to arch-rival Pakistan was a bitter pill for India, and the two-time World Champions will be seeking a comeback in Sri Lanka.

The series offers India’s second line of talent a moment in the spotlight with spinners Jadeja and Ashwin, and Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav, being rested. Axar Patel and Yuzvendra Chahal are expected to make the starting lineup in one or more of the five matches.

India are scheduled to play a lone Twenty20 in Colombo on September 6 after the completion of the ODI series.

With less than 50 days to go for the event, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) too has been left in the dark, although there has been widespread talk that the government intends to spend Rs 10 crore on the event which will include a 10-minute address from Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “The government was planning but I am not sure whether it will happen now. It’s the government’s call and we may know in the next couple of days,” said AIFF general secretary Kushal Das. The sports ministry had earlier succeeded in convincing AIFF to move India’s group matches from Navi Mumbai to Delhi, despite the apparent lack of spectator interest in the tournament.

London, Aug 18 (Agencies): West Brom have turned down an offer from Manchester City for defender Jonny Evans, Albion head coach Tony Pulis has announced. City boss Pep Guardiola confirmed last month that he was hoping to have a bigger pool of centre-halves to choose from and Northern Ireland international Evans is high on his list. It has been reported that West Brom have turned down an £18m bid from City for the 29-year-old and that a £10m offer from Leicester has also been rejected.

They made an offer and we’ve turned it down,” said the Baggies head coach. “I think every player is for sale at the right price. It would be crazy to say a team like West Brom won’t sell if a team are going to put a huge amount of money in front of you.”

“For us, the most important thing is what actually happens on the ground and the complete focus of the nation should be on October 6 when the Indian national anthem is played for the first time in a Fifa World Cup. At the end of the day, not too many people remember an opening ceremony, but almost everyone will remember the first

West Brom reject Evans’ bid

PANAJI, Aug 18 (Agencies): The government may still go ahead with an opening ceremony of its own despite Fifa, the governing body for world football, making it clear that the focus should be on the opening match where India will play in a tournament of such stature for the first time.

Fifa is not in favour of an opening ceremony on October 5, a day before the tournament kicks off in the Capital and has already denied the government permission to host the ceremony at the Nehru Stadium which will host matches the next day, including one that pits India against the United States.

The government, however, wants a platform to showcase itself and may now go ahead with the plans at Indira Gandhi stadium.

Sri Lanka seek redemption against India

Dambulla, Aug 18 (Agencies): Sri Lanka are looking to new captain Upul Tharanga for redemption in the one-day international series starting Sunday against India after enduring a humiliating Test whitewash on home soil.

Tharanga will lead the islanders into the opening match of the ODI series in Dambulla, having been appointed limited-overs captain to revive the ailing team after their shock 3-2 loss to minnows Zimbabwe.

Angelo Mathews stepped aside as captain after that defeat, vacating the top job to Tharanga who takes the helm at a low point for Sri Lankan cricket, with a form slump and injuries dogging the beleaguered side.

Tharanga, 32, has urged fans to be patient, insisting the “rough patch” will pass for the 50-over Lotha Baptist Church Dimapur (LBCD) and Discipleship Bible College (Yellow jersey) held a friendly football match at 1996 World Cup winners.

Kohli continues to top ICC ODI rankings

DUBAI, Aug 18 (PTI): India captain Virat Kohli continued to be the world’s top-ranked one-day batsman in the latest ICC ODI rankings, released on Friday.

Having 873 points in his kitty, Kohli will have a chance to increase the 12-point lead over secondplaced Australian David Warner at the upcoming five-match ODI series against Sri Lanka, starting in Dambulla on Sunday.

Other Indian batsmen in the top-15 are former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (12th), Shikhar Dhawan (13th) and vice-captain Rohit Sharma (14th).

However, no Indian bowler figure in the top-10 list. Pacer Bhuvneshwar

Virat Kohli

Kumar (13th) is the lone Indian in top 15.

As for the ICC ODI Team Rankings, India are currently at number three and they would have to win the upcoming series at least by a 4-1 margin to ensure that they stay at that position, ahead of England.

At 114 points, India, even if win the series 3-2, will slip to 113 points and

behind England on decimal points. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka will be eyeing the chance to seal direct qualification for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 during the upcoming series.

T h e 1 9 9 6 Wo r l d Champions will have to win at least two matches to secure a place in the pinnacle 50-over competition by staving off the challenge from the West Indies.

The cut-off date for direct qualification is September 30. Sri Lanka are placed eighth with 88 points, 10 points more than the West Indies team, which has an unenviable task in its aim of being among the seven top-ranked sides apart from host England to gain direct qualification.

sports BCCI fails to act; Sreesanth approaches court

S. Sreesanth

Kochi, Aug 18 (IANS): Former Indian pacer S. Sreesanth, who on August 7 got a huge boost when the Kerala High Court lifted the life ban imposed on him by the BCCI, approached the court on Friday asking for relief as BCCI still has not acted in the matter. Sreesanth in his petition asked for the immediate intervention of the court saying that he wished to travel to play in the Scotland League and the BCCI, despite the court lifting the ban, has not given him an NOC to be submitted to the Scot cricket authorities.

He said the Scotland League has reached its last leg and any more delay could be detrimental to him.

The court will take up his petition on Monday.

Sreesanth, along with two other players, was exonerated in 2015 by a Delhi court in the case registered

by Delhi Police which invoked the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), but the BCCI Disciplinary Committee headed by present Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley slapped a life ban on Sreesanth. Following this, he approached the Kerala HC, which on August 7 lifted the life ban.

Even though the Kerala High Court has lifted the ban, the BCCI has decided to go in appeal against the single bench verdict.

Europa League: Everton secure first-leg lead L o n d o n, Au g 1 8 (Agencies): Everton took a significant step towards the Europa League group stages after a 2-0 victory over Hajduk Split in the first leg of their Europa League play-off tie at Goodsion Park.

During a first-half that was briefly stopped because of ugly scenes in the away end, Everton took full control thanks to goals from Michael Keane and Idrissa Gueye.

The visitors put in an improved performance in the second half and Everton needed Jordan Pickford to deny Hamza Barry, Ante Erceg and Hysen Memolla as Ronald Koeman’s side held on to keep a clean sheet to take a two-goal advantage to the Stadion Poljud for next Thursday’s second leg.

Everton, who presented club-record signing Gylfi Sigurdsson to the Goodison Park crowd before kick-off, started brightly and it was the lively Ademola Lookman, who created the first real opening, firing a low cross across the face of goal for Davy Klaasen, but the Dutchman failed to get a touch as the ball rolled away to safety.

The hosts’ dominance was eventually rewarded when Baines drove to the byline before standing a cross up to the far post, where Keane rose high above the defender to head home for his first Everton goal.

The game was then stopped briefly as trouble flared up in the away end with the referee taking the players off the field, and after a five-minute delay play was back underway.

Hajduk Split captain Zoran Nizic was fortunate to avoid an early booking after cynically hauling down Wayne Rooney.

Everton doubled their lead just before the break when Wayne Rooney’s inch-perfect through ball picked out the run of Gueye, who picked out the bottom corner.

And it could have got even better for Koeman’s men just before the break but Rooney, played in by Klaasen, failed to beat Dante Stipica.

Everton, who replaced the cautioned Morgan Schneiderlin with Tom Davies at the break, needed Jordan Pickford to keep their clean sheet intact in the 61st minute and the England U21 stopper got down smartly to his right to palm Barry’s shot to safety.

Pickford was called into the action again late on, denying Erceg after sloppy play from Rooney and Memolla’s long-range
