IMD warns of rise in water levels of Dhansiri, Dikhow GU WAHATI, AUG 4 (AGENCIES): India Meteorological Department (IMD) has sent out an alert, warning of further rise in water level in the upper catchment of Dhansiri river due to incessant rains. According to IMD bulletin, the water level is likely to rise by 20-24cm in Golaghat within 10-12 hours and about 20-40 cm in the next 24 hours at Numaligarh.

NEEPCO clarifies on water release DIMAPUR, AUG 4 (NPN): Against the backdrop of allegation from Assam that release of water from Doyang reservoir caused flood, North Eastern Electric Power Corporation (NEEPCO) Saturday explained that this was foretold to Assam during the series of meetings and that the release was necessitated due to excess water. NEEPCO senior manager (CC) LA Kharmawphlang pointed out that incessant rainfall in the upper catchment area caused the reservoir water level to increase abruptly since July 25, 2018. Kharmawphlang said water inflow to the Doyang reservoir was more than 600 Cum/Sec since July 27, 2018 and it rose more than 1150 Cum/Sec on July 31, 2018 . This was much higher than the normal range of inflow. Kharmawphlang said this necessitated the NEEPCO to release of excess water by opening the gates at 5:30am on July 27, 2018 to release the excess water in a controlled manner. NEEPCO said excess water beyond the capacity of the reservoir flows to the downstream area, which cannot be absorbed by the reservoir. NEEPCO also in-

formed that information on increase of water level has been shared with the Golaghat District Disaster Management Authority on regular basis as decided in the meeting held on May 17, 2018 at conference hall of DC office, Golaghat. “It is clear that the Doyang Dam cannot absorb the water beyond its capacity at any point of time and rather, Doyang dam did contribute to flood moderation to its present water holding capacity upto EL 324.0 M,” said Kharmawphlang. H o w e ve r, K h a r mawphlang stated that the recent flood in the Golaghat District was due to unprecedented rainfall in the entire catchment of Dhansiri river and that the Doyang catchment was only a part. NEEPCO informed that due to existence of Doyang storage reservoir, the flood peak was getting moderated to the extent the capacity of the reservoir permits. NEEPCO said that Doyang Project authority has been maintaining a close contact with the concerned District administration and information regarding release of excess water through the spillway gate was being

shared well in advance enabling actual flood forecasting. The 3x25 MW Doyang HE Plant in Wokha District of Nagaland was developed by NEEPCO on the river Doyang, one of the tributaries of Brahmaputra. Project comprised of 92 m high rock fill Dam having live storage capacity of 216.5 MCum at EL 324.0 M and intercepting a catchment area of 2606 sq.km. The entire quantum of power from the plant has been allocated to all seven states of NE Region where Assam has a share allocation of 43.8 %.

Assam police tries to detain plant head

Golaghat police on Saturday reached the Doyang Hydro Electric Project of NEEPCO (North Eastern Electric Power Corporation Ltd) to take the head of plant, P. Das to Golaghat police station for questioning. According to reports, an FIR was lodged by BJP MLA of Khumtai constituency in Golaghat district against NEEPCO’s Doyang Project at Golaghat police station on Friday last, blaming NEEPCO for the current flood devastation in Golaghat district.

ANCSU reminds state govt on NEET D I M A P U R , AU G 4 (NPN): Reminding the state government and responsible department on the selection of candidates for undergoing MBBS, BDS and other professional courses, the All Nagaland College Students’ Union (ANCSU) has affirmed that it would not compromise its earlier demand for verifying the documents of doubtful candidates (non-indigenous) through the electoral voters list of 1963. In a press release, ANCSU president, Katho P Awomi, and vice president & grievances committee chairman, Benjong Longchar, stated that genuine Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland cannot afford to lose any seats allotted to Nagaland state. ANCSU asserted that issuing Indigenous and ST certificates without proper verification was not justi-

fied in any manner. The union pointed out that in the latest prescribed format of Indigenous Inhabitant Certificate issued by the P& AR Department, it has been stated that “the concerned family has been entered in the Electoral Roll published on 5/12/1963 and has been paying house tax prior to 1963 and the family has acquired property and patta prior to 1963.” However, ANCSU said that during the course of verification carried out by the concerned districts administration, some of the doubtful candidates could not be authenticated as Indigenous Inhabitant of Nagaland. Therefore, ANCSU said there was no logical end to accept them as Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland unless the concerned has fulfilled all the above mentioned criteria.

It stated that doubtful candidates could prove themselves genuine Indigenous Inhabitant by producing relevant documents. Further, ANCSU cautioned that anyone claiming seat under Nagaland quota for undergoing the mentioned courses with fake documents would be responsible for any kind of misunderstandings or confrontations in future. The union, therefore, urged the state government to take the matter seriously and not allot seats to the candidates whose parents/ grandparents were not enrolled in E-Roll published on 1963. Meanwhile, ANCSU has also appealed to the state government to initiate stern action against those erring officials for issuing ST and Indigenous Inhabitant Certificate without proper verification of documents.

Jotsoma Village Council clarifies on KSC land encroachment issue NNC (parent body) reacts

This is it!

K Y M C

Jotsoma people donated 50 acres of land free of costs for the setting up of KSC in 1962 when some prominent Naga leaders requested them. Subsequently, JVC said in 1967, government led by L.Lungalang, Zopianga and T. Haralu requested the villagers for more land. The villagers accordingly allowed government to acquire an area of 131.78 acres at a token compensation of 3 paise per sq. ft. JVC clarified that the total land acquired for KSC was 181.78 acres including the donated portion. With improved infrastructures and better communications, JVC said the college area attracted settlers which impelled rampant allotment of land by the authorities to people of their choice. JVC said it had taken up the issue of rampant land allotment with the authorities since 1980s.

In 1986, it said the government issued the first order banning land allotment in government college campuses, but allotment remained unabated. In 1990, JVC said it wrote to government that resulted in the formation of a High Powered Committee led by Prof. T. Chuba, the then Minister (Higher & Technical Education). It said HPC at its meeting held on November 14, 1990 decided “land belonging to Science College shall not be allotted to any organisation/ individuals other than for the purpose of expansion of Science College”. Thereafter, the government issued as many as 9 notifications/OMs banning allotment of government land. Out of those notifications, JVC said as many as five notifications indicated that officials who allotted government land would be held responsible and disci-

plinary proceedings would be initiated against the concerned officials. Despite HPC decision banning allotment of college land and all subsequent notifications, JVC said allotment of land at KSC Jotsoma remained unabated till 2009. Apart from the land allotment to individuals and organisations, JVC said there was inter-departmental allotment of land – firstly to PHED, then to Doodarshan and then for the construction of RCEMPA – in violation of the very intent and purpose for which the land was acquired. JVC said it brought to the notice of the government that unless rampant allotment of land was brought to a stop, land owners may reclaim their land. However, it said allotment of land remained unabated prompting some land owners to take back their land claiming that they

have better title over the land should government allot the land to the public. This claim, though the council does not encourage, is also legally in consonance with the existing law under Sec.8 of the Nagaland Land (Requisition & Acquisition) Act 1965, JVC said. Further, JVC said that it has through a representation dated July 16, 2018 requested the state government to immediately cancel all allotment of land made after HPC decision. It also requested the government to publish the name of all officials who had allotted land in violation of all the notifications & OMs banning allotment of government land and initiate disciplinary action against all the erring officials as notified. C o u n c i l o b s e r ve d that unless actions were taken, any action of eviction against the encroachers

D I M A P U R , AU G 4 (NPN): Following the internal issue over leadership within the NNC (parent body), information & publicity wing of the rival group has reacted to the statement of NNPGs WC media cell, alleging that the latter was being controlled by few leaders who were creating more confusions and adding fuel to the issue. NNC (parent body) said it had restrained from exposing the ugly truth but was compelled to do so. NNC clarified that the meeting held on June 6 amongst few individual members-- Z. Royim (acting president without executive power two months ago), Lamso Zeliang, Bamteo Zeliang and Yibang Walling (alias Toshi), was not a CEC meeting and was held without the knowledge of (Cont’d on p-7) the majority of the NNC

Therefore, NNC parent body said that the June 6 meeting was “illegal, invalid and the decision made was null and void and condemned by the NNC parent body once again.” It said that the parent body had denounced and rejected the leadership of Z. Royim, for act of “treason and for betrayal on the Naga historical and political rights under oath” alleging that he had worked with conspirators and compromised leaders. For this, NNC (parent body) claimed that Royim was no more considered the acting president of NNC parent body since the decision was taken by the majority.

Correspondent KIPHIRE, AUG 4 (NPN): Kiphire Area Student’s Union (KASU), with the support of the District Administration Kiphire, is making painstaking efforts for students stuck in Kiphire due to the landslides. Students on their vacations in Kiphire were sent to Kohima and Dimapur in administrative vehicles today. Kiphire district has been completely cut off for almost a week owing to heavy landslides in multiple places recently following heavy rains. Talking to this correspondent, KASU president, Isaac Tsalembi stated that the union on learning of the grievances of students who were studying outside Kiphire and were stuck in Kiphire called for a meeting on Friday through a social media group. Around 40 students who study outside

Kiphire in different colleges and universities turned up for a meeting at the Kiphire DC’s office and shared their problem. According to Issac, most of them have their college exam in next few days. The KASU president said that with the help of the administration, they managed to send some students back to Kohima and Dimapur today. He added that out of the ones sent today, some were sick patients and some were candidates for competitive exams in Kohima. Efforts are on to send all who are stuck in Kiphire in phases through alternative means if the road block continues. KASU President also stated that with the help of NH-202 officials the road is likely to be completed by the coming week however if the road blockage continues, shortage of essential commodities and fuel may hit Kiphire more. He also

appealed to Nagaland government to prioritize early restoration of the Kiphire road. EAC Longmatra, Sangpangchang Longkumer who also spoke to this correspondent said that the National Highway officials led by Executive Engineer NH-202 are on the spot to complete the restoration work as soon as possible. Longkumer guided the students up to Meluri and visited the landslide areas today. On the issue of students being stuck, the EAC disclosed that he had personally spoken to taxi drivers in Kiphire to see if they could drop off the students but they were reluctant considering the risk to their vehicles due to the landslides. EAC Longmatra also expressed his appreciation to the administration from Meluri, Pfutsero and Khezakono for assisting

them with proper information about the road conditions in their respective jurisdictions while sending the students. It may be mentioned that Kiphire district has been totally cut off from the state capital since July 30. A landslide first occurred in NH-202 on the night of July 29 where the road to Tuensang was cut off. This was followed by major landslides in many areas near Meluri. Kiphire is also connected by Zunheboto district in the west however the bridge at Tsutha River connecting Agunato Town and Seyochung Town was washed away by strong currents in 2015 leaving that road cut off as well. The restoration work is going on in all landslide areas but it may take some days, depending on the weather, before heavy vehicles can use them.

The Kiphire Tuensang District Sumi Students’ Union (KTDSSU) has sought the government’s intervention into the blockage of roads at Kiphire district. A press release from KTDSSU president Bothuka Yepthomi said that the blockages had left Kiphire almost isolated from all the nearby districts except for a few roads. The release specified the PWD road via Phsami (Kiphire district)-Huker to Aghunato town under Zunheboto district. It said that with the onset of the monsoon, the road had become almost impossible to use. This road being the only lifeline left, the union has beseeched the government and the concerned department to make temporary arrangements to repair the road immediately keeping in mind that any delay in the process would only victimize the general public and student community until normalcy is restored. The union also expressed its gratitude to the commander 15th Border Road Force (BRTF) for bringing the necessary sanction to restore the bridge at River Tsutha which had fallen in the year 2015. It also asked the organization to speed up the repair of the road that connects Kiphire district to Zunheboto district via Seyochung town.

IMPHAL, Aug 4: The 21st Manipuri Integrity Day, organized by All Manipur United Clubs Organization (AMUCO), was observed Saturday with a call for unity to fight division of people on communal line. Floral tributes were offered to the people who sacrificed their live to safeguard the integrity of the state at the state integrity pillar in Imphal. Speaking at the function, AMUCO president Ph Devan said “efforts to disintegrate the unity of the people are on internally” even as national leaders have repeatedly assured that the territorial boundary of Manipur will not be compromised as a result of the Centre-NSCN(IM) peace talks. “We don’t have any objection on Centre’s agreeing granting of any status, may be special status, independent, hosting two different flags and more sovereignty to Nagaland,” said Devan. But the people will fight tooth and nail if there is any attempt to redraw the boundary map of the state, he said.

Nagaland Post Vol. XXVIII NO. 239 Dimapur, SUNDAY, AUGUST 5, 2018

Monsoon viral diseases

ven before the monsoon rains have ebbed to signal the start of outbreak of fatal pathogens such as Dengue and Chikungunya- there are already around a dozen confirmed cases of Dengue in Dimapur area alone. Usually, the viral disease resurges by September to October. In India Dengue and Chikungunya have made much headway across the states. Dengue is transmitted by the bite of an infected female Aedes Aegypti mosquito. The mosquito becomes infected when it feeds on the blood of a person infected with the virus. After about one week, the mosquito can then transmit the virus while biting a healthy person. According to the National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP) in 2017 itself the total number of dengue cases reported in India was 1,53,635. Dengue claimed 137 lives in 2014, 220 in 2015, 245 in 2016 and 226 in 2017. By July this year, 30 have died of the disease. It is expected that the situation could be worse this year due to incessant rains. This vector-borne disease has reached alarming proportions in Kerala, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal including New Delhi. The symptoms of Dengue include: flu-like symptoms that can last for two to seven days. Dengue fever usually occurs after an incubation period of 4-10 days after the bite of the infected mosquito. High Fever (40°C/ 104°F) is usually accompanied by at least two of the following symptoms: headaches, pain behind eyes, nausea, vomiting, swollen glands, joint, bone or muscle pains and rash. According to medical reports, there are four(4) serotypes of the virus that causes dengue such as - DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, DEN-4. Infection with one strain will provide life-time protection only against that particular strain. However, it is still possible to become infected by other strains and develop into severe dengue. There is no vaccine or specific medication for dengue fever. Patients are advised rest and to drink plenty of fluids. Paracetamol can be taken to bring down fever and reduce joint pains. Doctors have cautioned patients against taking aspirin or ibuprofen should as these could increase the risk of bleeding. Another rapidly spreading disease is Chikungunya , a viral disease transmitted to humans by infected mosquitoes. It causes fever and severe joint pain. Other symptoms include muscle pain, headache, nausea, fatigue and rash. The disease is caused by an RNA virus that belongs to the alphavirus genus of the family Togaviridae. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), Chikungunya shares some clinical signs with dengue, and can be misdiagnosed in areas where dengue is common. In recent years, there is evidence that mutations have become more common. Like malarial causing Anopheles mosquito, which has gradually mutated to develop resistance to anti-malaria pesticides, there are also fears that a gene mutation of the dengue virus may be taking place. In 2003, researchers identified eight mutations in dengue virus type 4. This is bad news since it would indicate that such viral diseases will be eluding human efforts to nullify their fatal potency. After the Ebola outbreak, the medical world discovered in 2014 that the pathogen had undergone 395 mutations between 2014 to 2016. The only way to eradicate dengue is to deny the Aedes mosquito its breeding places and this demands a simple act of clean environment where there is no place for accumulation of stagnant water and other measures.

DailyDevotion The Brave Friendship of God He took the twelve aside… —Luke 18:31 Oh, the bravery of God in trusting us! Do you say, “But He has been unwise to choose me, because there is nothing good in me and I have no value”? That is exactly why He chose you. As long as you think that you are of value to Him He cannot choose you, because you have purposes of your own to serve. But if you will allow Him to take you to the end of your own self-sufficiency, then He can choose you to go with Him “to Jerusalem” (Luke 18:31). And that will mean the fulfillment of purposes which He does not discuss with you. We tend to say that because a person has natural ability, he will make a good Christian. It is not a matter of our equipment, but a matter of our poverty; not of what we bring with us, but of what God puts into us; not a matter of natural virtues, of strength of character, of knowledge, or of experience— all of that is of no avail in this concern. The only thing of value is being taken into the compelling purpose of God and being made His friends (see 1 Corinthians 1:26-31). God’s friendship is with people who know their poverty. He can accomplish nothing with the person who thinks that he is of use to God. As Christians we are not here for our own purpose at all— we are here for the purpose of God, and the two are not the same. We do not know what God’s compelling purpose is, but whatever happens, we must maintain our relationship with Him. We must never allow anything to damage our relationship with God, but if something does damage it, we must take the time to make it right again. The most important aspect of Christianity is not the work we do, but the relationship we maintain and the surrounding influence and qualities produced by that relationship. That is all God asks us to give our attention to, and it is the one thing that is continually under attack.

Post-mortem

Misinterpreted theological Musing over hornbill festival studies in Naga society H

ot every Naga knows the meaning of ‘theology’. Theology simply means “the process of seeking normative answers to questions of truth/ meaning, goodness/ practice, evil, suffering, redemption, and beauty in specific contexts.”(Lynch.2005). Another simple terms is, ‘theos’ means ‘God’ and ‘ology’ refers to ‘logo’ meaning ‘word’ in Greek. Thus, theology literally means ‘the study of God’ (Michael Patton. 2005). Similarly, common people understand the study of theology is to learn more about God in theological institutions, colleges and universities. With this understanding of theological studies, every weak and sick human being hopes that each broken life can be transformed or rebuild through searching God. There is no error in attaining such understanding among the Nagas that studying the word of God is one of the processes of finding remedies to heal the broken life. However, there is a problem in choosing a person to send for theological studies among the Nagas. Common understanding of theological studies among the Nagas is the offering of one of the many children in the family. If theological studies are based on this understanding, in practice, most of the Naga families stand paradox to the teaching of the Bible. The Bible which for Christians believed to be the Holy Book of the Word of God clearly portrays the true meaning of offering. Genesis 4: 4 “And Abel brought the best, the choicest parts of the FIRSTBORN of his flock and of their fat portions. Genesis 8:20 “Then Noah built alter to the Lord and took some of every CLEAN animal and some of every CLEAN bird. Exodus 23: 19 “For the three annual festivals, Moses tells the people, “The BEST of the first fruits of your ground you shall bring into the house of the Lord your God.” In addition, Deuteronomy 16:17 “They shall not appear before the Lord empty handed. Every man shall give as he is ABLE.” John 3:16 “For

God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. “ The preceding texts have two significant acts of those who give offering to God. First, it refers to the offering of the first and the best of anything from where and what a person takes for offering. The first and the best refer to the purest and wholehearted expression to God with no greed and reservation. It signifies that every first and good thing should be given to God and the remaining is kept for own. Second significant indication is the giving of the only one though it may be the best in the family or the only hope of the family. The Old Testament theology of fearing and loving God is narrated in the book of Genesis where Abraham sacrifices his only and the best son as the sign of true love and faith in God (Moberly. 2005). Forgetting the theology of giving, faith and love, the offering/giving of many Nagas to God is misleading in the context of sending people for theological studies. Indeed, not all good people who are sent for theological studies bear good fruit. Similarly, not all drug addicts and alcoholics who are sent for theological studies bear bad fruit. However, many Naga parents believe that sending drug addicts, dropouts and alcoholics for theological studies would transform them and become reborn in Christ. In this act, the theology of offering the best and the first, to God remains invisible. It paradoxically appears that for the love and fears of God, they give the worst and spoiled ones. Will God transform the spoiled ones as He accepts it as the best offering of those families? If God transforms them, it may be done in favor of the lost ones, not in favor of those who send them for theological studies. The relevance of offering the spoiled ones to God in the field of theological studies is widely known. People often generalize that theological institutions are full of drug addicts/ alcoholics; in response, there

are moments when these students prove the authenticity of the people’s statement, in act of indulging in drug and alcohol throughout theological studies. This emerges negative image of theological institutions and its studies. This repercussion indicates the misinterpretation of theological studies by many Nagas, moreover, they have failed to identify the difference between rehabilitation centre and theological institutions. Theological institution is a place to train students based on their conviction to study about divinity, academic and non-academic disciplines to further train and remind the lay people as well as among the theological graduates. In addition, it becomes a place for parents to offer their best child to God. It symbolizes the act of spiritualized aim of the parents that out of many, one is given to God through theological studies. Eventually, the theological graduates engage in church ministry and other Christian religious activities. In such aim of offering and sacrifice, the agenda of purity emerges as the fundamental goal of the people. How pure is the child who is sent for theological studies? Pure in this context is a figure of speech which symbolizes the good child. It is the expression of human passion and feelings to God divinely who would not reject what He deserves to receive from the people. In such misinterpretation of theological studies among many Nagas, it is perhaps the responsibilities of the intellectual Nagas in general to impart the true knowledge of theological studies to produce more intellectual theological graduates in academic and non-academic disciplines. Similarly to identify a suitable place to rehabilitate the young people who indulge in drug and other intoxication. This initiative will broadly enhance the people to identify right place for right people to earn a suitable life transforming education.

ornbill Festival is a major event in the yearly Calendar of the state. Since it is making an impact to the society it would be healthy for us to debate the merit and demerit of the event. I would like to submit my observations here for people to ponder, though it may not be new to many. The festival usually begins with the blessing of the Priest or elderly animist to demonstrate the ancient Naga practices. It has revived some animistic practices e.g. performing the religious ceremonies, listening to the village elder chanting ancient prayer of blessings, etc. It may be just an act because people who practice animism in real life are minimal in number now. The point is whether we really want God to bless us. If it is an act God cannot be fooled. If it is real we have the danger of going back to spirit worship/ appeasement which God Jehovah detests. We should not be confused with tradition that enrich our lives and tradition that ensnares us. Some traditional practices which our forefathers handed down to us are good. Like respect for elders, hospitality- not letting visitors go without tasting something, and protection of people (even insects) who seek shelter from us. Our forefathers are also hard working, honest, and it is shameful for them to depend on others without any contribution on their side. These are things we need to emulate. However, it is sad to see that we tend to imitate the evil practices in the name of tradition. We think that tradition is incomplete without rice beer (zutho). Traditionalists try to project zutho as the main item of our traditional food. To drinkers this is an attraction. Young people want to experiment and get initiated in drinking through this mildly put ‘rice beer’ which is an intoxicant. They started for fun, got hooked and move on to other hard drinks and finally get addicted. The accidents, fights, violence and immoral activities are mainly due to alcohol. We talk about peace and development. Can development come without the participation of the youth? Can peace come without responsible young people? Peace and development cannot come without a healthy society. If we are knowingly leading our youth to evil practices we cannot expect a healthy society. Hornbill festival may be a time for fun and pleasure but sadly

it’s not being done with decency. Young people (not so young people too, we are told) seek pleasure through alcohol and sexual activities. Young girls got pregnant and spoil their lives for a short time of pleasure and live in shame. Rock Concert is a main event and draw huge crowd. It is also a time where many indecent and ugly activities go on, leaving unsightly and shameful things behind. The Rock Concert during the recent Hornbill Festival drew an estimated crowd of 20,000 people. In contrast the Gospel concert (Bob fits) attracts a crowd of a thousand or so. The indication shows that our minds are more on worldly things than the things of God. The distribution of condom is an admission that immoral activities increases during the festivals. This, in spite of Nagaland being a Christian majority state. Hornbill Festival may have been launched with good intentions. There are many good reasons why the festival should be there. Bringing our people together as one family is one. Celebrating the blessing of God upon our lives is another. Reviving traditions which are healthy, enjoyable, and beneficial to our social life is another reason. Attracting tourists and exposing ourselves positively to the world may be another good reason. Encouraging entrepreneurship too is a good thing. However, the question is, ‘Are these positive points being achieved? Is there more negative impacts then the positive ones?’ Today many parents are reluctant to take their family to the festival because of the negative image it has created. Why can’t a Christian majority state bring out a Festival that is different? Why bring all the worldly programmes which lead to immoral activities just to attract people? Why can’t we have a Festival that promotes traditional values minus unchristian practices which we have discarded for a better life in Christ. Isn’t it time to rethink, re-plan, and redirect this mega event for the good of our society? Remove all the programmes that tend to bring unwanted elements. Bring new ideas; programmes the children can enjoy and learn, programmes where the whole family can enjoy together with decency. Of course, there are many good programmes already there for which we acknowledge the effort of the organisers. Avilie Punyü, New Market Kohima

Swachha Bharat Mission: Dream of Economic Prosperity

n the era of global warming and climate change, everyone is striving towards a clean and safe India. “A clean India would be the best tribute India could pay to Mahatma Gandhi on his 150 birth anniversary in 2019” - said our Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi as he launched the Swachh Bharat Mission at Rajpath in New Delhi on 2nd October, 2014. Swachh Bharat Mission was launched throughout length and breadth of the country as a national movement. On the Contrary, prior to this historical movement we Indians were mostly confined in cleaning our own houses, religious places and educational institutions. We Indians were not much concerned about cleaning our surroundings, streets, lanes, parks or other public places. On the other hand, sustainable water resources are essential to human health, environmental sustainability and economic prosperity. This vital resource is under threat, making it crucial to address the challenges related to water, sanitation and hygiene for populations and water related ecosystems. However the campaign of clean India movement is the biggest step taken ever as a cleanliness drive till date but also as the big challenge not only of the Government but also of each and every citizen of our Country interms of determination for effective implementation through comprehensive planning and strategy, responsibility to carry out the task to reach the goal through proper monitoring , sensitivity to acquire habit specially from grass root level through appropriate training and management, innovation of new technologies to make it more cost effective and economic etc. despite of various hurdles.

Mahatma Gandhi said, “Sanitation is more important than independence”. He made cleanliness and sanitation an integral part of the Gandhian way of living. It is essential for everyone to learn about cleanliness, hygiene, sanitation and about the various disease that are caused due to poor hygienic conditions. The habits learnt at young age get embedded into one’s personality. Even if we inculcate certain habits like washing hands before meals, regular brushing of teeth and bathing from a young age, we are not bothered about cleanliness of public places. “The pursuit of cleanliness can be an economic activity, contributing to GDP growth, reduction in health care costs and a source of employment” - in the wards of Hon’ble Prime Minister – Shri Narendra Modi. The World Bank estimated that the lack of sanitation costs India over 6% of gross domestic product (GDP). But a recent study by UNICEF on the economic impact of sanitation has estimated that an open defecation free village, each family saves over Rs. 50,000 per year on account of avoided medical costs, time savings and lives saved. Additionally there is a huge potential of generating wealth from waste through goods solid and liquid resource management. The study also concluded that the economic benefits of sanitation per household outweigh the cumulative investment (Government spends plus other modes of financing including household contribution) by 4.7 times over a 10 years period. According to experts, some of the key areas of impact of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan are health, tourism, rural development and foreign investment. It is observed that the bigger limitation to promote tourism is cleanliness because foreign tourists are particular about

hygiene and cleanliness. Swachh Bharat Mission will help to create employment through tourism. Besides employment tourism will help to bring foreign money to India which will also boost Indians GDP. Practice of open defecation puts at the risk of disease like cholera, diarrhoea, typhoid etc. Unhygienic condition is one of the majorcause of diseases. According to a recent study by World Health

Organisation (WHO), due to lack of cleanliness and hygienic condition there is a loss of Rs. 6500 every year to each Indian. Where asSwachh Bharat Mission tries to plug their loss and help to ease the burden on existing health care facilities which will help to boost our Indian economy.

Tejashwi Yadav, who targeted Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over the alleged rape incident at the shelter home in Muzaffarpur, demanded a probe monitored by the Supreme Court. The Bihar government has handed over the case to the CBI. Demanding justice for the girls of the shelter home, who were allegedly sexually exploited, Yadav said the accused should be given exemplary punishment and steps be taken to ensure this does not happen again. Recalling the Nirbhaya incident in Delhi, Kejriwal said fast track courts should be set to to give death sentence to the accused for such heinous crime. “I demand that this case be probe in three

months and the accused be hanged,” he said. The Delhi chief minister alleged that the accused have connections with influential people. Yechury alleged anarchy is being sheltered by governments in BJP-ruled states. “We need to change this government....the slogan of ‘beti bachao is now ‘save beti from BJP’,” he said. Sharad Yadav said that these crime have taken place under the nose of the JDU-BJP government and demanded “a Supreme Court monitored probe conducted by the CBI”. He also said that a national commission should be set up to probe such crimes across the country, including Bihar. “The BJP is not saving the daughters of the country. It is instead busy saving cows,” he said.

Cong to take on Modi in corruption case New Delhi, Aug 4 (PTI): The Congress today decided to take on the Narendra Modi Government on the issue of corruption by launching a public campaign that will highlight the bank scams, Rafale deal and the “bad” state of the economy. The decision was taken at a meeting of the Congress Working Committee chaired by party chief Rahul Gandhi where the leaders also chalked out a strategy on the crucial issue of Assam’s National Register of Citizens (NRC). The meeting of the working committee, the party’s highest decision making body, was attended by top party leaders including former prime minister Manmohan Singh, A K Antony, Ghulam Nabi Aza, Mallikarjun Kharge, Ahmed Patel and Ashok Gehlot. However, former party president Sonia Gandhi was unable to attend the meeting. This is the second meeting of the newly constituted CWC under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi. The opposition party decided to go all

out in highlighting the issue of corruption both inside and outside Parliament. Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said after the meeting that the party will launch a public campaign or ‘Jan Andolan, details of which will be chalked out in the coming days in consultation with state units and leaders. “The CWC met today. As a team, we discussed the political situation in the country and the huge opportunity for the Congress to highlight issues of corruption and failure of the government to provide jobs to our youth. Thank you to all those who attended today’s meeting,” Gandhi said on Twitter. The party intends to corner the government on media reports which quoted Antiguan authorities as saying that Indian agencies had no adverse information against Mehul Choksi when the Caribbean country conducted a background check on the PNB scam accused before granting him citizenship in 2017.

New Delhi, Aug 4 (PTI): Major Leetul Gogoi, who was detained by police in a Srinagar hotel after he was seen with a local woman in May, may face punitive action as a Court of Inquiry ordered by the Army into the incident is likely to indict him in the case, official sources said here. They said the CoI has found that he violated the Army’s rule against developing relationship with a local woman in a conflict zone and breaching the standard operating procedure of staying away from place of duty. The sources said the findings of the CoI are being placed before the top brass of the Srinagarbased XV corps for approval following which charges against Gogoi may be slapped under relevant sections of the Army Act. On May 23, Gogoi was detained by police following an altercation at the hotel in Srinagar where he was allegedly trying to enter with an 18-year-old woman. Days later, the Army had ordered the CoI into the incident after Army chief Gen Bipin Rawat said in Pahalgam that exemplary punishment would be given to Gogoi if he was found guilty of “any offence”.

Swati Maliwal today wrote to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, asking him of the steps being taken by his government to ensure wellbeing of the girls who were allegedly sexually assaulted at a shelter home in Muzaffarpur. She asked if the girls were being sent to school or if they are being given counselling. She also asked Kumar to ensure that the girls are not pressured in to changing their statements. In Muzzaffarpur, a case of alleged sexual assault of 34 minor girls living in a shelter home came to light. Medical examinations confirmed that 34 out of the 42 shelter home inmates were sexually exploited, police have said. The owner of the shelter home, run by NGO ‘Seva Sankalp Evam Vikas Samiti’, Brajesh Thakur, is the main accused in the case. The issue was first highlighted in an audit report submitted by the Tata Institute of Social Science (TISS), Mumbai, to Bihar’s Social Welfare Department in April. Maliwal asked Kumar about the fate of the girls who were allegedly sexually assaulted and steps taken by his government to ensure wellbeing of the 34 girls.

New Delhi, Aug 4 (PTI): In a show of unity, leaders of a number of opposition parties including Congress chief Rahul Gandhi joined the RJD in a massive protest at Jantar Mantar here over the alleged rape of young girls at a shelter home in Bihar’s Muzaffarpur and demanded that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar take immediate action against the accused. Prominent leaders who joined the protest included Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav and Misa Bharti, CPI-M’s Sitaram Yechury, CPI’s D Raja and Atul Kumar Anjan, Loktantrik Janata Dal leader Sharad Yadav and TMC’s Dinesh Trivedi. Addressing the protesters, opposition leaders attacked the BJP and the JD(U) and demanded stringent punishment against those involved in such heinous crimes. Congress president Rahul Gandhi said if Nitish Kumar is ashamed of the rape incident, he should immediately act against the culprits. “We stand with the women of India, we stand with the girls and their families who suffered in this shelter home,” he said.

New Delhi, Aug 4 (PTI): Rising for the second straight day, gold prices gained Rs 65 to reach Rs 30,550 per 10 grams at the bullion market Saturday on sustained buying by local jewellers amid a firm trend overseas. Silver followed suit and reclaimed the Rs 39,000mark by jumping Rs 250 to Rs 39,100 per kg due to increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers. Marketmen said sentiment was bolstered after gold bounced in global markets, as a weak US jobs data pushed the dollar lower. Increased buying by local jewellers to meet the rising demand at the domestic spot market too fulled the uptrend, they said. Globally, gold rose 0.51 per cent to USD 1,213.30 an ounce and silver gained 0.62 per cent to USD 15.38 an ounce in New York in yesterday’s trade. In the national capital, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per cent purity rose Rs 65 each to Rs 30,550 and Rs 30,400 per 10 grams, respectively.

Meanwhile, tax experts welcomed the council’s decision to offer GST cash backs on pilot basis, highlighting that it would not have a significant impact on revenue. “It is good that the government is planning to do a pilot for only limited number of users and not for all digital payments, which was initially contemplated. It will also mean that revenue impact of this decision would not be very significant,” PWC Partner and Indirect Tax Leader Pratik Jain said.

Apple is first $1 tn listed US company Los Angeles, Aug 4 (Agencies): Apple Inc became the first $1 trillion publicly listed U.S. company crowning a decade-long rise fueled by its ubiquitous iPhone that transformed it from a niche player in personal computers into a global powerhouse spanning entertainment and communications. The tech company’s stock jumped 2.8 percent to as high as $207.05, bringing its gain to about 9 percent since Tuesday when it reported June-quarter results above expectations and said it bought back $20 billion of its own shares. Started in the garage of co-founder Steve Jobs in 1976, Apple has pushed its revenue beyond the economic outputs of Portugal, New Zealand and other countries. The Silicon Valley stalwart’s stock has surged more than 50,000 percent since its 1980 initial public offering, dwarfing the S&P 500’s approximately 2,000-percent increase during the same almost four decades.

A group of ministers under Bihar deputy chief minister Sushil Modi, had yesterday worked out the cash back mechanism and had assessed that the revenue loss on account of it would be Rs 1,000 crore annually. “The Council has decided to prepare the software and backend for this (cash back incentive) and whichever state volunteers for it, the pilot can be run in that state itself and impact on revenue can be assessed,” Goyal said.

1 killed, 220injured in Gaza protest

GAZA, Aug 4 (Agencies): Israeli troops shot dead a Palestinian and wounded at least 220 others at protests along the Gaza border on Friday, Gaza health officials said, as diplomats sought to secure a durable ceasefire deal. Over four months of weekly Friday border protests that began on March 30 have reduced in intensity lately but organisers have vowed they would continue until Israel lifts economic sanctions on the coastal enclave. The Israeli military said troops had responded with “riot dispersal means” and had operated “according to standard operating procedures,” a term that refers to the use of accurate live fire, after some Gazans broke through the border fence and attacked troops with firebombs and an explosive device. It said some 8,000 Gazans had participated in the protests at five locations along the border. A Gaza hospital official said of the 220 hurt, 90 suffered wounds as a result of the live fire. The dead was a 25-year-old man. At least 156 Palestinians have been killed in

Death toll in Laos dam collapse reaches 30 Vientiane, Aug 4 (IANS): The death toll in the flooding caused by a dam collapse in southern Laos has climbed to 30 after the recovery of four more bodies, rescue authorities said on Saturday. Rescuers retrieved a body from Ban Mai Village and three from South Thahin Village, said Phalom Linthong, deputy director general of the General Political Department. Among the four bodies retrieved, two were of children. Mai and Thahintai were among the six most severely-affected villages in the flooding. Phalom said that the rescue work still relied on man power and authorities faced the risk of sinking into the deep mud now covering the disasterhit area. Ounla Xayasith, deputy governor of Attapeu Province, said a rescue team with advanced equipment will join the Lao military personnel in the rescue operation starting from Sunday. At least 101 people still remain missing, according to figures released by authorities.

the protests and one Israeli soldier was shot dead by a sniper in Gaza. Israel has lost tracts of farmland and forests to fires set by kites and helium balloons laden with incendiary material and flown over from Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cancelled a trip to Colombia next week, his office said, and is due to consult with top ministers on Sunday on proposals to end the tensions, Israeli media has reported. Some top ranking Hamas officials arrived in Gaza from Egypt late on Thursday to discuss the pos-

sible deal but no details have been given. The delegation included the group’s deputy chief, Saleh al-Arouri, exiled by Israel in 2010. “The delegation will (consult) ... over issues of concern for the Palestinian people, foremost in achieving the national reconciliation and ending the Gaza blockade,” Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said before the delegation arrived. More than two million Palestinians are packed into the narrow strip which suffers deep economic hardship. Israel withdrew its troops and settlers from

Gaza in 2005, but maintains tight control of its land and sea borders, citing security concerns over Hamas and other militant groups. Egypt also restricts movement in and out of Gaza on its border. Israel, the United States and other Western countries regard Hamas as a terrorist organization. Israel and Hamas have fought three wars since 2008, the last of them in 2014. On Sunday, Nickolay Mladenov, the U.N. special coordinator for the Middle East peace process, said on Twitter that he held “productive meetings” with Egyptian officials in efforts to de-escalate Gaza tensions and resolve humanitarian issues. “The devil is always in the details but we are #movingforward in the interest of #peace,” Mladenov said. Israeli media said Israel was seeking a long-term commitment from Hamas to end the protests and halt the launch of the incendiary balloons and kites that have destroyed thousands of acres of farmland and forests, in exchange for lifting restrictions on the passage of goods and travel for Gaza.

Russia-US cooperation on Syria confirmed M O SC O W, A u g 4 (Agencies): Russia’s Defence Ministr y confirmed on Saturday that it had proposed cooperating with the United States on Syrian refugees and de-mining in a letter sent to the top U.S. general in July. The proposals on refugees concerned a refugee camp in Rukban, the ministry said in a statement. In the letter, Valery Gerasimov, chief of the Russian military’s General Staff, said Moscow was ready to discuss with Damascus safety guarantees for refugees stranded at Rukban, as well as creating conditions for their return home. Rukban lies within a 55 km so-called de-confliction zone set up by the United States to ensure the safety of its garrison close to the Iraqi-Syrian border. “A proposal was also made to coordinate humanitarian de-mining, including in Raqqa, and other priority humanitarian issues,” the Russian ministry said. Reuters reported the letter on Friday, citing a U.S. government memo.

18 killed in Russia helicopter crash Moscow, Aug 4 (AFP): Moscow today said 18 people were killed when a helicopter crashed on its way to an oil station in northern Siberia in the early hours of Saturday morning. The Russian Transport Ministry said the Mi-8 helicopter carrying three crew members and 15 passengers crashed when it collided with machinery carried by another helicopter soon after take-off. It added that the second helicopter landed safely and that the accident took place in “normal” weather conditions. “The first take-off was carried out by a Mi-8 with an external cargo suspension without passengers on board, the second take-off was performed with passengers who were workers on shifts at the oil station,” the ministry said in a statement. “According to preliminary information, the Mi-8 carrying passengers for reasons unknown collided with the external suspension of the second helicopter after take-off. As a result it fell, was destroyed and burned,” it added. “Three crew members and 15 passengers died.” The helicopter was operated by Russian national airline Utair, which has its head

Imran may take oath as Pak PM on Aug 14

Islamabad, Aug 4 (PTI): Imran Khan, who is set to become Pakistan’s new Prime Minister, may take oath of the office on the country’s Independence Day on August 14, a media report said Saturday. Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) emerged as the single largest party in the July 25 elections, winning 116 National Assembly seats out of the contested 270 parliamentary constituencies. Earlier on July 30, Khan, 65, had expressed his desire to take the oath of Prime Minister on August 11, as his party announced that it had acquired enough seats in the lower house through coalition talks to form a majority government. “It is my and caretaker prime minister retired Justice Nasirul Mulk’s desire that the oath-taking of the new prime minister should take place on August 14,” caretaker Law Minister Ali Zafar told Dawn yesterday.

Zafar elaborated that if the National Assembly (NA) session was held on August 11, the same day the new members would be

He said that after printing of ballot papers for the elections of the NA speaker and deputy speaker, their elections could take place on August 13 and the next day the election of the prime minister could be held. However, if the National Assembly session was called on August 12, the election of the prime minister would be held on August 15, he added. “We wanted that the new prime minister should take his oath on Independence Day so that the new government can start its functioning with full national fervour and commitment to bring progress to the country,” he said.

A total of 1.67 million votes cast across Pakistan in the 2018 general election were rejected, which was 11.7 per cent more than that of the 1.5 million ballots discarded in the 2013 polls, according to an independent election watchdog report. A ballot is rejected from the count if it does not clearly show which candidate has been marked by the voter or more than one candidate have been marked. As per the Election Commission of Pakistan, there were over 100 million registered voters but only about 51 per cent exercised their franchises. The Free and Fair Elections Network (FAFEN) report released on Friday was based on its monitoring of the entire polling process in the four provinces of Pakistan as well as the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT). The report stated that the number of ballots rejected from the count is more than double than that in the 2013 elections in the ICT region

20 killed in China flood

Beijing, Aug 4 (PTI): Twenty people were killed and eight others went missing as torrential rains triggered flood in northwest China, state-run media reported Saturday. Over 8,700 houses, farmland, roads, railway lines and power and telecommunication facilities were damaged in the floods that have wreaked havoc in China since early this week. While 20 people died this week in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, eight remained missing after heavy downpours hit Qincheng Township in Hami on July 31, Xinhua news agency said. The floods triggered a partial breach of a reservoir, as the floodwater flowing into the reservoir reached 1,848 cubic metres per second, tripling the maximum of 537 cubic metres per second designed to withstand the worst flood in 300 years.

In a statement issued on its website, Utair said the crash took place at 05:43 Moscow time (0243 GMT) after taking off from a helipad at the Vankor oil and gas field, in the Turuhansk district of the Krasnoyarsk region. The oil field is operated by Russian national oil company Rosneft through its subsidiary Vankorneft. Utair said the helicopter was made in Russia in 2010. It added that the pilot was born in 1985 and was trained at the Omsk Aviation School in southwestern Siberia. “He flew 5,990 hours,

2,300 of which he was the helicopter commander,” Utair’s statement said. The airline said it sent its specialists to the site of the crash. Russia’s transport ministry said it created a commission to investigate the crash and that the vice director of the Federal Air Transport Agency was on his way to the site. The country’s Investigative Committee said it opened a criminal investigation into the crash. Accidents involving helicopters and small planes are frequent in Siberia and far eastern Russia, where air transport is commonly used to cover vast distances.

Erdogan orders freezing of US Cabinet members’ assets

I s t a n b u l , Au g 4 (IANS): Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday announced retaliatory sanctions against members of the US government amid a diplomatic row over a jailed American pastor and said he ordered the freezing of assets of two US ministers, presumably the Attorney General and Homeland Security Secretary. During a speech at the Congress for the ruling Justice and Development Party’s women’s organization in Ankara, Erdogan said that he was responding to the sanctions imposed by US President Donald Trump’s administration over the case of Pastor Andew Brunson, imprisoned in Turkey on charges of terrorism since 2016. “I have told my colleagues to start the process of freezing the assets of the

Singapore, Aug 4 (AFP): North Korea Saturday said the US was acting with “alarming” impatience on the issue of denuclearisation, after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stressed the need to maintain full sanctions pressure on Pyongyang. The contrasting comments at a security forum in Singapore came after a new UN report showed Pyongyang was continuing with its nuclear and missile programmes and evading sanctions through ship-toship oil transfers. At historic talks with President Donald Trump in June, North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un signed up to a vague commitment to “denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula” - a far cry from long-standing US demands for complete, verifiable and irreversible disarmament. While US officials have publicly been optimistic about the agreement, Pyongyang appears to have made little substantial progress and Washington has become concerned that some UN member states are easing sanctions.

N Korea slams ‘alarming’ US behaviour

Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho criticised US impatience on denuclearisation. “What is alarming, however, is the insistent moves manifested within the US to go back to the old, far from its leader’s intention,” he said, according to a statement. Since the June agreement, Pyongyang had taken “goodwill measures”, including a halt on nuclear and missile tests and “dismantling a nuclear test ground”, he said. “However, the United States, instead of responding to these measures, is raising its voice louder for maintaining the sanctions against the DPRK,” he said, using the initials of the North’s official name.

“As long as the US does not show in practice its strong will to remove our concerns, there will be no case whereby we will move forward first unilaterally,” Ri added. Earlier at the same forum, Pompeo said he was emphasizing “the importance of maintaining diplomatic and economic pressure on North Korea” but also said that he was “optimistic” about the prospects for progress when it came to North Korean denuclearisation. At yesterday’s meeting, the US delegation also delivered a letter from Trump intended for Kim, by passing it to Ri, said the State Department.

the completion of a music video when the artiste has to support, promote and look for the best avenues where the song would reach out to maximum consumers. Citing examples of how international artistes were churning in revenues from their songs by touring, music sales, publishing, streaming etc. Kikon said the most recent highest earners in the last fiscal were U2 (Rs 372 cr) followed by Garth Brooks (Rs 357 cr), Metallica (Rs 295 cr) and Bruno Mars (Rs 278 cr). He added that online promotion could help an artiste reach to the masses but it was live shows that would do the real earning. Kikon encouraged artistes to perform live shows as much as possible

which, in the long run, would help the artiste in gaining more experiences all the while increasing their market value. Regretting of how artistes in Nagaland were fading into obscurity because of their ego, he said, artistes should learn when to seek help and work in coordination with others. “Naga artistes want to be composers, producers, songwriters, editors, creative directors, marketing managers, booking agent altogether but this does not work,” Kikon said. He advised the gathered artistes to focus their attention on their strength and outsource the rest to others who were equally talented in different areas and not try to do everything by themselves and be like one-man-army.

Kikon further added that artistes should acknowledge that their talents were God given and that they should use it wisely.

develop spacecraft capable of flying crews to the space station, The Washington Post reported. NASA on Thursday confirmed a delay in the first piloted flights of Boeing and SpaceX. SpaceX is targeting November 2018 for Crew Dragon’s first uncrewed demonstration mission (Demo-1), three months later than the previous schedule released by NASA early this year. The crewed demonstration flight, with two astronauts on board, will follow in April 2019, four months later than previously announced. Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner, on the other hand, will likely perform two crucial test flights next year, instead of this year as planned. Each test flight will provide data on the performance of the rockets, spacecraft, ground systems, and operations to ensure the systems are safe to fly astronauts. The crew for Boeing’s Crew Flight Test and SpaceX’s Demo-2 flights will each include at least a flight commander and pilot aboard to test out the systems. After successful completion of the flight tests with crew, NASA will review flight data to verify the systems meet the agency’s safety and performance certification requirements and are ready to begin regular servicing missions to the space station, the US space agency said.

s your teenage daughter addicted to photo editing applications such as Snapchat to get that flawless look for the perfect selfie? Beware, it can take a toll on her self-esteem and trigger body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), warn researchers, including one of an Indian-origin. BDD is a mental illness involving an excessive preoccupation with a perceived flaw in appearance, often characterised by people adopting unhealthy lengths to hide their imperfections. It has affected around two per cent of the population. This can include engaging in repetitive behaviour like skin picking, visiting dermatologists or plastic surgeons, hoping to change their appearance. “A new phenomenon called ‘Snapchat dysmorphia’ has popped up, where patients are seeking out surgery to help them appear like the filtered versions of themselves,” said Neelam Vashi, from the Boston University in Massachusetts, US. “Filtered selfies can make people lose touch with reality, creating the expectation that we are supposed to look perfectly primped all the time,” she added, in the paper published in the journal JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery Viewpoint.

stronomers have detected a possible “rogue” planetarymass object with a surprisingly powerful magnetic field travelling through space unaccompanied by any parent star. The extrasolar object, about a dozen times more massive than Jupiter, is located some 20 light-years from Earth, showed the findings made using the US National Science Foundation’s Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) telescope. “This object is right at the boundary between a planet and a brown dwarf, or ‘failed star,’ and is giving us some surprises that can potentially help us understand magnetic processes on both stars and planets,” said Melodie Kao from Arizona State University in the US. Kao led this study while a graduate student at California Institute of Technology (Caltech). The strange object, called SIMP J01365663+0933473, has a magnetic field more than 200 times stronger than Jupiter’s, according to the study published in The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series. The object was originally detected in 2016 as one of five brown dwarfs the scientists studied with the VLA to gain new knowledge about magnetic fields and the mechanisms by which some of the coolest such objects can produce strong radio emission.

Silicon Valley Classic

Sakkari shocks Venus Williams

Greece’s Maria Sakkari shake hands with Venus Williams after winning the match during the Silicon Valley Classic tennis tournament in San Jose, Calif.

Los Angeles, Aug 4 (Agencies): Greece’s Maria Sakkari delivered one of the biggest upsets of her career at the WTA San Jose tournament on Friday, ousting former seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams in a straight sets shocker. The 23-year-old Sakkari saved two set points in the second set en route to a 6-4, 7-6 (7/2) victory over the former world number one, punching her ticket to the semi-finals where she will face another unseeded player, Danielle Collins. World No.49 Sakkari needed one hour and 43

minutes to dispatch Williams as she has rolled through her first three matches at this event without dropping a set. Sakkari converted six of her eight break points in the match, and hammered 21 winners, three more than the 38-year-old Williams. “I was ready for the match, compared to the last times I played against her. I was ready for a battle and ready to play against Venus Williams,” said Sakkari. Williams, who has won this event twice in 2000 and 2002, made a

whopping 43 unforced errors. Venus’ defeat follows the shocking upset three days ago of her sister Serena, who suffered the most lopsided loss of her career, 6-1, 6-0 to Johanna Konta in round one. Between the two of them, the Williams sisters committed 68 unforced errors in their elimination games. American Collins moved into the semi-finals after her opponent, former World No.1 Victoria Azarenka, retired midway through the second set due to a back injury.

S a k k a r i ’s m o t h e r Angeliki Kanellopoulou was also a top 50 ranked WTA player back in the late 1980s. Fourth-seeded Elise Mertens ended the giant-killing run of Konta to set up the other semifinal clash with fifth-seeded Mihaela Buzarnescu. Belgium’s Mertens emerged from a tight match with a 7-6 (7/4), 6-3 victory over Konta. Mertens broke Konta at love when she served for the opening set, and saved two set points before forcing the tiebreaker. After dropping her serve in the opening game of the second, Mertens won four games in a row and wouldn’t trail again. “I just played pointby-point, because anything can happen,” Mertens said. “I believed in myself because it was just one break and I was really happy that I took the first set.” Mertens reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open in January, but she and Romania’s Buzarnescu will both be battling to reach a first premier level final. Buzarnescu, who beat Australia’s Ajla Tomljanovic 6-1, 7-5, fell to Mertens in the final in Hobart in January.

I wanted to stay at Chelsea: Morata Lo n d o n, Au g 4 (Agencies): Chelsea forward Alvaro Morata says he wanted to stay despite interest from elsewhere. Having welcomed twin boys into the world last week, Morata now wants to improve on his debut season at Stamford Bridge. Morata only managed 11 Premier League goals last season after his big-money move from Real Madrid and was the subject of transfer speculation over the summer. But new Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri says he has faith in the forward and Morata himself is in upbeat mood. He told the Daily Mirror, “A lot of things have changed in our lives and the only thing I have in my head now is to score, score, score! Then to come back home and stay with my babies and my wife. The easiest thing would have been to leave Chelsea this year. I could have gone back to Italy. My wife is Italian, it is one hour to her home. I could have gone back to Spain, I had a lot of offers. More money.” “But I want to fight. I have had low pressure, because I had already played in Italy and Spain and done good things. But I decided to stay here, I wanted to.” Chelsea take on Manchester City in the Community Shield on Sunday.

Eng beat India by 31 runs in 1st Test Sindhu to face Marin in final Badminton World Championships

England’s Ben Stokes, without cap, celebrates with teammates the dismissal of India’s Mohammed Shami during the fourth day of the first test cricket match between England and India at Edgbaston in Birmingham, England, Saturday, (AP/PTI)

The second Test begins at Lord’s on August 9. The sun was out at Edgbaston but the ball was doing enough to trouble the batsmen. India got off to a poor start as Dinesh Karthik (20) fell on the sixth ball of the day, caught at second slip off Anderson. It brought Pandya to the crease, but Kohli was not yet ready to farm strike and trusted his partner. It meant that Pandya hogged majority of the deliveries early in their partnership, but the skipper didn’t

mind. Kohli only faced six balls in the first 15 minutes of play, but Pandya grew in confidence as the duo put on 29 runs for the seventh wicket as he struck some lusty blows off Broad. The skipper reached his 17th Test half-century off 88 balls. Thanks to those boundaries off Pandya, the bowling changes came and they worked for England. In the 47th over then, Stokes trapped Kohli lbw as the batsman moved too far forward and across to

LS passes National Sports University bill

Birmingham, Aug 4 (PTI): India suffered a heartbreaking 31-run loss to England as skipper Virat Kohli’s heroics went in vain amid yet another abject batting capitulation in a riveting opening Test at the Edgbaston Saturday. It was virtually Kohli versus England and when the Indian captain was trapped lbw off Ben Stokes in the 47th over, the absorbing game was only heading the home team’s way. Resuming on overnight 110 for five, India folded up for 162 in 54.2

overs despite Kohli’s combative 51 off 93 balls and Hardik Pandya’s 31. All-rounder Stokes (4-40) came to the party on the morning of day four by removing Kohli and Mohammad Shami in the same over. James Anderson (2-50) and Stuart Broad (2-43) took a brace each as England drew first blood in what promises to be an engrossing five-match series. The Indian bowlers did their job in both the innings but the batsmen, with the exception of Kohli, let the team down again.

Activities such as self defence, fitness, washu and boxing were the highlights of the camp. Dimapur District Wushu Association president, Neizo Khusoh said that it was first summer coaching camp organized

particularly for Dimapur district. The youngest participants of the camp were of age eight and nine years. He also informed that regular classes will start from August 6. SAI, STC Dimapur centre incharge, CH Naba Singh, while briefing about the importance of Wushu said that such initiative should be taken up even in the days to come.

New Delhi, Aug 4 (IANS): The Lok Sabha on Friday passed the National Sports University bill, 2017, which seeks to establish a National Sports University in Manipur to promote sports education. The bill seeks to establish a National Sports University located in Manipur to promote sports education in the areas of sports sciences, sports technology, sports management, and sports coaching. It will function as a national training centre for select sports disciplines. It may also establish campuses and study centres in other parts of the country. “This will establish a first-of-its-kind National Sports University in Manipur. This is a major step towards bringing to reality Prime Narendra Modi’s vision of developing a world class 360° sports ecosystem in India,” said Minister of State (independent charge) for Youth Affairs and Sports Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore.

Accept Real offer: Courtois’ agent to Chelsea Lo n d o n, Au g 4 (Agencies): Thibaut Courtois’ agent has pleaded with Chelsea to allow the goalkeeper to join Real Madrid this summer. Chelsea will not resume talks with Real over a deal for the Belgium international, who has one year left on his contract, until they find a suitable replacement. The 26-year-old, who has previously said “all options are open”, is said to be valued at £32m by Madrid but Courtois’ agent Christophe Henrotay says Chelsea should show some compassion. “I have been reading everywhere that Chelsea are saying it is up to Thibaut, but he has made it clear to the club that the best option for him is to move to Madrid,” Henrotay said. “For him this is a big decision because he wants to be near his family, and there is an offer in place for Chelsea to accept.” Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri admitted he was un-

sure of Courtois’ future but the Italian is optimistic of retaining his services. “At the moment Courtois is the goalkeeper of Chelsea,” Sarri said, ahead of the club’s Community Shield clash against Manchester City on Sunday. “I don’t know in the future. It depends on the

club, it depends especially on him, but I hope Courtois will be our goalkeeper.” Henrotay also denied money is a motivating factor in Courtois’ desire to seek a new challenge. “We have seen suggestions that it is about money, and it is true he could get an increase with a move,” he added.

“But he has turned down a better offer elsewhere because this is more than a financial decision. Throughout this it has important for everyone to be reasonable, and the buying club has come up with a reasonable offer for a player who has one year left on his contract when they know they could sign him without a fee in 12 months.” “Chelsea could get a fair fee for him now and sign a replacement. Or they would still have to sign a replacement next summer, but without getting a fee for Thibaut. It is understandable people might be upset because he wants to leave the club, we accept that.” “But this is a human decision based on someone wanting to be close to his children - and that is a reasonable thing too.” Courtois is due back for pre-season training on Monday, with Chelsea opening their Premier League campaign away against Huddersfield on Saturday.

counter the incoming delivery. The skipper did check for DRS review but it went in England’s favour. Surprisingly, Shami (0) came out to bat next and Stokes made it a double blow in four balls as the batsman was caught behind. Ishant Sharma (11), who has a county halfcentury this summer, came down as low as number ten, and looked more comfortable than Shami immediately. Two fours off his blade meant that England had to rethink their plans once again. Adil Rashid (1-9) then was brought on after the drinks break and for the second time in this Test, he trapped Sharma lbw with a googly. At nine down, it was but a matter of time even as Pandya tried to stay at the wicket and fight until the very end. He tried rotating strike with Umesh Yadav and attacked Rashid as well. But Stokes managed to nick out the edge England wanted. Pandya was caught at first slip to signal India’s defeat in a seesawing Test. Brief scores: England: 287 & 180 vs India: 274 & 162 (Virat Kohli 51, Hardik Pandya 31; Ben Stokes 4/40).

Nanjing, Aug 4 (PTI): Olympic silver medallist P V Sindhu continued her incredible run of form in the World Championships, earning a second successive final spot after seeing off Japan’s Akane Yamaguchi at the women’s singles semifinals here Saturday. World number three Sindhu notched up a superb 21-16 24-22 win over world number two Yamaguchi in a 55-minute hard-fought match. The 23-year-old from Hyderabad will face Olympic champion and former two-time gold medallist Carolina Marin of Spain on Sunday. Marin had robbed Sindhu off a gold medal at the Rio Olympics after defeating the Indian in the summit clash. Overall, Marin has a 6-5 advantage over Sindhu, who had beaten the Spaniard in their last encounter at the Malaysia Open in June. Marin beat Chinese eighth seed He Bingjiao 1321 21-16 21-13 to make her third World Championship final. Sindhu looked a bit nervous and took time to get into the groove, resulting in Yamaguchi racing away to a 5-0 lead. At 4-8, Sindhu reeled off five straight points to grab a 9-8 lead. At 10-12, Sindhu rode on eight straight points to reach 18-12. How-

ever, she went out twice and also sent the shuttle long once to allow Yamaguchi make a recovery. However, the Indian eventually grabbed four game points after capitalising on a weak return from the Japanese and converted it immediately when Yamaguchi faltered at the forecourt. Just like the opening game, Sindhu again lagged 2-6 initially in the second game, before the Indian managed to reduce the gap to 7-8. But after Sindhu went out Yamaguchi unleashed a whipping cross court smash and one at the back court to move to the interval with a 11-7 advantage. The Japanese extended the lead to 14-9 with two precise smashes. But she went long thrice after that and Sindhu too found the

net twice. It was 16-12 advantage for Yamaguchi at that point. Sindhu then scripted an incredible recovery from 1219, reeling off eight straight points to grab one match point. Yamaguchi saved one before holding a game point herself. However, the Japanese goofed up during the serve to squander her advantage. After another intense rally, Yamaguchi went long to hand over Sindhu a second match point but what ensued next was the longest rally of the contest, comprising 41 shots, which ended with Sindhu hitting wide. However, Yamaguchi hit wide again to gift Sindhu her third match point and this time she converted it after the Japanese went wide again.

Zverev enters Washington Open semis Washington, Aug 4 (Agencies): Defending champion Alexander Zverev outlasted Japan’s Kei Nishikori 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 on Friday to reach the ATP Washington Open semifinals while three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray withdrew citing fatigue. G e r m a n y ’s t h i r d ranked Zverev, seeking his fifth final of the season and third title of the year after Munich and Madrid, dispatched seventh-seed Nishikori, the 2015 champion, as he did in last year’s Washington semifinals. “I felt like I had the more powerful shot,” Zverev said. “That worked out well in most of the rallies for me. It was a good high-level match.” Zverev booked a semifinal against 10th-seeded Greek 19-year-old Stefanos Tsitsipas, who eliminated Belgian third seed David Goffin 6-3, 6-4 in just 74 minutes. “I’m super happy I got this win in two sets and saved some energy,” Tsitsi-

Guwahati, Aug 4 (PTI): Hima Das, the first Indian to win a gold medal in a tract event at the World Junior Athletics Championships in 2018, has been awarded a grant of Rs 20 lakh by Oil India Ltd. The public sector oil major’s CMD Utpal Bora told reporters here Saturday that the financial aid was being given to the champion sprinter, hailing from Assam, to help her prepare for upcoming tournaments, including the Olympics. Das clinched the top spot in the women’s 400m final race at the IAAF World Under-20 Athletics Championships in Finland last month. Bora also said a scholarship of Rs 17,000 per month was being paid to sports persons from Assam, including 2018 Under-19 Cricket World Cup squad member Riyan Parag and promising table tennis player Trisha Gogoi, to help them participate in tournaments.

pas said. “I was serving very well. Confidence plays a very important role in my game so getting early breaks was super important.” Australian Alex De Minaur, another 19-yearold, reached the semifinals by walkover when Murray withdrew, citing fatigue from the three grueling three-set wins that kept him on the court more than

eight hours in total. Mur ray, who also withdrew from next week’s Toronto Masters event, was in only his third event back and first hardcourt event since March 2017 at Indian Wells after an 11-month layoff with a hip injury. “I’m exhausted after playing so much over the last four days, having not competed on the hard courts for 18 months,” Murray said.

The 31-year-old Scotsman, a former world number one now ranked 832, broke down in tears after a 3:02 a.m. Friday finish to his third match, the latest finish in the event’s 50-year history. De Minaur will next play either Russian 16th seed Andrey Rublev or American Denis Kudla, whose match was postponed by a fifth consecutive day of rain.
