It may also be mentioned that the Angami Public Organization on January 4 resolved to “excommunicate any Angami man/ woman for a period of 10 years from Angami jurisdiction” if they violate its directives and file his/her nominations to the ULB elections in any district.

Ao Senden: Ao Senden Federal Assembly on Wednesday issued a stern warning to all bonafide Ao community members, who have filed their nominations for the forthcoming Municipal/Urban Local Bodies (ULBS) election, to withdraw their papers on or before January 17, 2017 or face excommunication for a term of 30 years.

The decision to this effect was made during the Federal Assembly of the Ao

Airports across India alerted on terror attacks NEW DELHI, JAN 11 (Agencies): Airports across India have been put on alert after intelligence agencies warned of a terror plot ahead of Republic Day celebrations.

Agencies have directed authorities related to airports’ security to keep a vigil eye as an attacker could be donning the uniform of a security personnel.

The Bureau for Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) had issued an advisory in this regard on December 28.

“Some uniformed staff has airport entry pass. The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has been asked to frisk them carefully even if they have the pass. The security staff has the tendency of going soft if someone is from the police or army. This can be used as a cover,” Hindustan Times has quoted a BCAS official as saying.

The CISF guards the country’s airports.

Also, the paramilitary force has made a “sweeping squad” which includes personnel trained to profile travellers and spot dubious movements, reported the daily.

The Defence Ministry is responsible for conducting the Republic Day celebrations.

This is it!

Senden held on January 11, wherein the house also reaffirmed to stand by earlier standing resolution, stated Ao Senden acting president C. Angang Jamir and acting general secretary L. Tally Longkumer through a press release.

The Senden said the Assembly also adopted a three-point resolution, wherein it was decided to excommunicate any candidate for a term of 30 years in the event of failure to comply with the directives and that he/she would not be allowed to participate in any Ao society.

He/she will be debarred the rights of Aos for holding any position both in the government and private.

He/she will be debarred the rights of Aos to participate in all Naga Civil Societies and organizations.

The Senden also categorically stated that the Municipal/ULB elections in the present form would not be allowed till “defective provisions are rectified.”

In this regard, the Federal Assembly has empowered the presidential council to pursue the matter, taking appropriate measures till matters end.

Sumi Hoho: The Sumi Hoho during its executive meeting held on January 11 at Sumi Hoho Ki, Zunheboto also adopted a fourpoint resolution with regard to civic body polls, In a press note, Sumi Hoho president Toniho Yepthomi and general secretary Vihuto Asumi said the following resolutions were adopted.

1. All the candidates of Zunheboto Town Council who have filed nominations must withdraw nomination immediately.

2. Any candidate failing to withdraw nomination paper shall be ‘excommunicated’ from the Sumi society for a period of 10 years.

ZPON: Zeliang People’s Organisation Nagaland

(ZPON) has asked all candidates who have filed nominations, particularly from Peren district to withdraw their nominations in order to pave way for “drawing an acceptable and conclusive decision” to protect Naga customary law and practises and “to uphold Article 371(A) of the Constitution of India vis-à-vis the state of Nagaland indispensable”.

In a press note, ZPON media cell maintained that the proposed civic body election with 33% women reservation was undeniably controversial.

To go ahead with the process as intended by the state government at this juncture unquestionably would cast the entire system into a lame duck scenario, ZPON said. “No entity nowhere in a democratic world more so in Nagaland, be it the state government or the tribal organisations can imagine to exist on their own or with severed relationship as is prevalent now,” ZPON stated.

It said “a healing to this condition” could only be brought about through consultation and dialogue. Even as such eventuality is anticipated, ZPON said what was

inevitable at the moment to be able to prove that the state government and its citizens are humanly civilised, was to put on hold the proposed ULB elections.

To maintain peaceful and conducive atmosphere in order to restore cordial relationship between the state government and the tribal organisations, ZPON said there was a need for further consultations on the contentious 33% women reservation in the ULB election of Nagaland for the best interest of its citizens.

MAPO: Meluri Area Public Organization (MAPO) has also reiterated its statement, published on January 5, to uphold and adhere to the call of the Nagas and oppose the Town Council polls in Meluri Town.

Being a part and parcel of the Pochury Hoho, MAPO president Riesoupa Kajiri said it respected and never wished to intrude into the authority of the hoho.

However, the recent imbroglio of the hoho in support of 33% women reservation had no iota of truth, MAPO added.

Referring to the “so called resolution” made on

Ao Senden clarifies CNTC demands postponement CTC candidates decide Rijiju blames Manipur govt for to withdraw nominations of Municipal/Town elections

DIMAPUR, JAN 11 (NPN): The Ao Senden through a press note issued a clarification, citing reasons as to why one of its member, minister Nuklutoshi was issued a ‘quit notice’ from Ao territory on January 9. Ao Senden acting president C. Angang Jamir and acting general secretary L. Tally Longkumer said Nuklutoshi had acted against the will of the Ao people by “arranging to gather the candidates to file the nomination of Changtongya Town Council from Tuli Town”.

However, the people of Tuli town intervened and prevented him from doing so, it said. Further, applying the same tactics, the Senden claimed that Nuklutoshi tried to pursue to get the nominations done from his home town, Chuchuyimlang town. This was also confirmed from the concerned authority to Ao Senden officials that the minister was in the process of doing as stated, the Senden added.

In the act, the Senden said the minister’s “convoy was caught red handed by the volunteers of the movement”.

On learning of his activities, the peoples’ anger was triggered and thereby decided to personally attack him, said the Senden.“Thus, the Ao Senden with clear sense decided to move him way for the day taking into account his own safety as well as to salvage the situations at hand,” the Senden said.

D I M A P U R , JA N 1 1 (NPN): Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC) has demanded for immediate postponement of Urban Local Bodies (ULB) election in Nagaland with 33 percent women reservation, until the reservation policy was amended in consultation with apex tribal organizations.

In this regard, CNTC has asked all candidates to respect the decisions of their respective tribal bodies by withdrawing their nominations. In a press note, CNTC media cell said that the appeal has been made “in the wake of contention over the impugned Municipal Act by all the tribal apex bodies of state”. CNTC was of the opinion that the government, calling for conduct of ULB elections in spite of

widespread objections of tribal bodies, would invite unprecedented ramifications for which it would be held solely responsible.

“The hard ear ned rights and provisions of Article 371 A for the state of Nagaland cannot be compromised under any circumstances whatsoever,” CNTC stated.

While acknowledging that the Municipal Act had been enacted for developmental purposes, CNTC opined that it was “detrimental to our rich traditional values and customary rights bestowed by the Almighty on our forefathers since time immemorial”.

It further made known that Nagas’ traditional rights and heritage was above any elected legislators of the day. “Governments

come and go but the rights of people and our land are permanent and non-negotiable,” the council said.

Since there has been clear demarcation between the Indian laws and Naga customary laws indicated

by Article 371A, CNTC urged upon all not be mislead by vested individuals by twisting, distorting and manipulating to suit their interests.

CNTC reminded those in power today that they were not going to be in their chairs forever, saying one day they too would become a public.

Further reminding the legislators that they had been elected by the people, CNTC said it was very disheartening and grossly unacceptable to note that they were going against the wishes of the people.

DIMAPUR, JAN 11 (NPN): Chümoukedima Village Council (CVC) on Wednesday informed that the candidates for Chumukedima Town Council (CTC) polls have “promised to withdraw their nomination papers by signing an undertaking bond” with the council and 16 tribal unit leaders as witness.

Informing this in a press note, CVC chairman Razouvotuo Chatsu said the village council and all the 16 tribal units, GBs under Chümoukedima town have expressed profound gratitude to all the candidates.

All the candidates, irrespective of party affiliations or tribe, on their own understanding and knowledge, have apologized for going against the public interest, by violating the January 2, 2017 joint resolution of CVC and 16 tribal units, the council stated.

“The candidates have clearly stated and promised to withdraw their nominations and that in the failure to do so, he/she shall be held responsible for any action taken against those defaulters”, CVC said.

Further, CVC has expressed appreciation to all tribal unit leaders and volunteers of Chümoukedima, APO, AYO, CPO, CYO, CSU, CGBU, CTYO, CVYS, NCYD and all neighbouring villages for extending all support and making the boycott call a grand sucess.

ENPO highlights border fencing issue with Centre D imapur , J an 1 1 (NPN): A team of Eastern Nagaland People’s Organisation (ENPO) on Wednesday approached the officials of external affairs, home and defence ministries, Government of India and appraised on the problems to be faced

by Naga people living on both sides of the countries due to the ongoing construction of international border fencing along IndoMyanmar border at Pangsha village.

In a joint press statement, chairman of Pangsha village council and a representative of Khiamniungan Tribal Councl (KTC) said that the team met the central officials and highlighted the activities of the Myanmar authority- to erect fencing between International Border Pillars no 145 -146 within Pangsha Village jurisdiction under Noklak sub-division of Tuensang district.

ENPO members with Central and state government officials in New Delhi.

The delegation stated that once fencing was constructed around 3500 acres of prime cultivating/farming land and large tracks of forested areas belonging to Pangsha village would be cut off. The team also highlighted on the perceived apprehension raised by the other Eastern Nagas.

Meanwhile, External Affairs Ministry, which opposed random fencing and in honouring the sentiments of the locals to maintain peace and tranquillity informed the

official position and opinions of the Government of India, the statement stated.

The visiting team was also informed on the proposal by the central officials for a joint spot verification however the Myanmar authorities had unilaterally gone ahead.

As the demarcation and pillars have never been formally accepted by the land owners on both sides of the border, ENPO hoped for an amicable solution at the earliest by taking into confidence the landowners

(trilateral). In the light of the above, ENPO demanded that the ongoing work be stopped immediately till further deliberations with both the PMOs at the earliest along with the landowners.

ACAUT questions

In the wake of the ongoing construction of Indo-Myanmar international border fencing at Pangsha by both the governments of India and Myanmar, the ACAUT Nagaland on Wednesday asked the state

government to spell out the steps taken by it to safeguard the Nagas living in the border areas. According to ACAUT media cell, the arbitrary border fencing was against the will of the Naga people, to divide the villages and families, who have been living together since time immemorial.

In this regard, the anticorruption body questioned the state government whether border fencing has been carried with its knowledge and consent? ACAUT also questioned chief minister whether his recent trip to Myanmar was about border fencing?

If not, ACAUT demanded that the government should take up the issue with the Central government at the highest level. Further, ACAUT also demanded state government to come out with an official statement if it was serious on the issue.

eco-blockade

Guwahati, Jan 11 (IANS):Union Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju on Wednesday blamed the Congress-led government for the deteriorating law and order situation in Manipur, saying the maintenance of law and order is the “constitutional obligation” of the state government.

Rijiju, on the sidelines of a function at Guwahati, also appealed to Manipur government as well as the agitating United Naga Council for joint efforts to call off the economic blockade to allow free and fair elections in the state.

“I had visited Manipur two weeks ago and held a very positive meeting with CM Okram Ibobi Singh.

Central government is ready to intervene and assist the state government in any matter,” said Rijiju.

Civic polls: KUT expresses dismay DIMAPUR, JAN 11 (NPN): The Khiamniungan Union Tuensang (KUT) has expressed dismay that the Senior Citizen Forum of Noklak Town (SCFNT)/ area had undermined the office of the Khiamniungan Tribal Council (KTC) and allegedly submitted an application to the State Election Commissioner giving its nod to hold the Town Council polls in Noklak Town.

In this regard, KUT held an emergency executive meeting on January 10 to discuss the issue, after which KUT president M. Neolo in a letter to KTC sought immediate intervention.

In the letter, KUT pointed out that the “ridiculous action” of “so called SCFNT” was against the directive of KTC and ENPO and alleged that some vested interest persons of the KTC were also directly involved by disrespecting their official responsibilities. In this regard, the union asked

KTC to call for a general public meeting, where it said SCFNT should be made to explain, as stated in their letter to the State Election Commissioner, “the advantages and disadvantages of accepting the Town Council Election, and how Art.371 (A) would not be infringed.

It further demanded that the “so called Senior Citizen Forum of Noklak Town, a non-entity and un-mandated organization should be immediately banned”. The union also demanded that the defaulting KTC officials “should be dealt with as per the provisions enshrined under Art.12 of KTC Constitution”.

Meanwhile, the union said KTC, in solidarity with the rest of other Naga tribes, should initiate necessary action at the earliest to ensure that nominations filed by candidates were withdrawn before the last date of withdrawal notified by the State Election Commission.

Tension in Moreh after murder of village chief, church leader Correspondent

IMPHAL, Jan 11: Security in Manipur’s town at Myanmar border has been tightened up by deploying additional state forces following a tense situation.

Tension is prevailing in the border town after a village chief near the international borderline and a church leader were killed after being kidnapped by miscreants armed with sophisticated weapons.

Villagers suspect cadres of a Naga based rebel group to be behind the kidnapping and murder of chief of Nungkam Gamnom village S Otkhojam Mate (57) and village church chairman Tilpao Haokip (51) on January 8 last.

Besides intensifying the security measures, security forces were also engaged in flushing out militants in and around the border town by conducting combing operations.

A combined force of state police commando and IRB today carried out cor-

doningarea and search operations at K Tuisen village based on specific reports about the presence of underground elements in and around the village.

No report of arrest of any militants or suspects were reported during the operation.

Meanwhile, Kuki Students’ Organisation (KSO) while strongly condemning the killing of the duo has also expressed strong concern over a potential communal flare up in the border town.

A statement of the students’ body said that the brutal killing of the village chief and church elder by suspected underground was an unwanted incident which has all the makings for a potential communal flare up in the state.

“This cold blooded murder is an abhorrent act which calls for strong condemnation from all peace loving citizens. Therefore the KSO general headquarters condemns this killing incident in the strongest

term,” it said. The statement alleged that the two victims were abducted from their village by six masked armed men in combat fatigues on January 6 and were found murder ed on January 8 near their village.

KSO considered it as a devious plan engineered by an underground group having vested interest to create communal enmity among the people and said that if this act was not a devious plan to create communal flare up the killers must have the conscience to come out in the open and state the reason behind their actions.

Otherwise this will be construed as a cowardly act of vested interest group to set off communal conflict and hostilities between communities, it added.

Nungkam Gamnom and Satang Khunou have been living together peacefully for the last decade or so. Therefore it is in the interest of all and sundry that this incident should not be the cause of enmity and a cause for destruction of the

two villages, the KSO said.

The KSO further appealed both the communities of the two villages to return to their villages and settle peacefully with mutual understanding.

The KSO appreciated the timely intervention of the state government who has lost no time in sanitizing the area of unwanted elements and preventing potential communal flare up from this incident.

The state government must continue to strive for rule of law in the area despite the remoteness and the limitations it may face in maintaining law and order in the area.

However, it expressed displeasure over the indifference of the Assam Rifles in controlling underground groups from committing heinous activities.

“It is evident from the recent attacks and killings by undergrounds that the Assam Rifles who are deployed in the state to control the same have failed in their duty,” the KSO alleged.

Women’s organisations demand sacking of M’laya HM

S hillo ng, Jan 1 1 (PTI): Women’s organisations in a rally today demanded that Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma sack Home Minister HDR Lyngdoh, whose son’s guest house in Shillong was allegedly used for sexually abusing a minor girl.

The rally, which was attended by several activists, was organised by Civil Society Women Organisation and the Thma U Rangli here.

“You should seek the immediate resignation of your Home Minister HDR Lyngdoh to ensure an independent enquiry into this case, as the guest house owned by his immediate family was the place where the minor girl was trafficked and assaulted twice,” conveners of the rally Agnes Kharshiing and Angela Rangad said in a memorandum to the Chief Minister.

The activists also demanded that all guest houses and hotels named by the victim as places where she was exploited should be immediately shut down pending inquiry. Other demands placed before the

Chief Minister included setting up of fast track/ special courts in all districts to ensure speedy and time bound justice to victims of violence and trafficking.

The sex racket came to light last month after the 14year-old victim was rescued from the guest house of the Home Minister’s son and one of its employee was arrested. The victim has named various persons who had exploited her following which at least four of them and an Independent legislator Julius Dorphang, who supports the ruling Congress government, were arrested.

Altogether nine persons have been arrested in this case. In the past two weeks, several cases of sexual exploitations have been reported from across the state. On January 1 at a village in East Khasi Hills district, a 17-year-old girl was raped allegedly by six persons, including the relative of a locality headman.

The village chief and the locality headman have been arrested for abetment of the crime and the six accused surrendered before a court.

Union Minister lauds NE states for move towards digital transaction Guwahati, Jan 11 (PTI): Union Minister for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) Jitendra Singh today said that several steps were taken in seven sisters of the region to ensure digital transaction after demonetisation.

“The North Eastern states have taken several good initiatives for ensuring cashless transaction after the decision of demonetisation was announced,” he said while inaugurating the two-day Digi Dhan Mela here.

“Tea garden labourers are also very happy as they are getting exact wages and are very eager to adopt a cashless economy which will also help to improve social behaviour and economic management in the country,” he said.

Following demonetisation, two presses printing fake currency notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 were

closed down in Pakistan, he claimed. Union Minister of state for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju said that India would soon transform into a digital country and the “North Eastern states must also lend a hand in this transformation and for the development of the nation”.

Following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s announcement of Jan Dhan accounts, more than 25 crore people had opened bank accounts which is a remarkable achievement, he added.

Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal launched the e-wallet ‘Toka Paisa’ as an initiative towards cashless economy on the occasion.

The Mela, organised by the state government in collaboration with the I-T Department and Niti Aayog, aims to enable citizens and merchants to conduct digital transactions.

It has been seen that the peoples here are least aware of the road safety measures and are oblivious towards the helmet culture. Peoples here are avoiding safety gears as a matter of practice and hence we are distibuting chocolates amongst the traffic law abiding citizens to inspire the others. We shall continue this in a regular basis and bring about the safety gear culture as a regular practice into the life of the common peoples.”

ing security personnel are not enough to ensure foolproof security to truckers while moving on the stretch of the highway. Above the recently sent CPMF, a total of 49 companies of CRPF and BSF are stationing in the state and engaging in the protection of important installations and offices like Raj Bhawan, state assembly, Loktak Hydro Electric Project, Maphou Dam, Railway project and others.

As such, in order to open the NH-2, the state government needs 22 more companies of CPMF as state authority estimated 30 companies of CPMF to assist the state security force to open the highway.

State home department had brought up the matter of non-reporting of nine companies of CPMF to the state government till date and the state government is awaiting the response from the MHA.

IMPHAL, Jan 11: Even as NH-37 (Imphal-Jiribam) section has been virtually opened, NH-2 (ImphalMao section) is yet to be opened allegedly owing to shortage of security personnel to escort the vehicles.

To counter the blockade and open the two main highways, Manipur government had requested the Centre to provide 60 companies of Central CPMF to protect the two national highways that connect the state with the rest of the country.

However, the Centre sent only 50 companies for utilizing in the protection of the two lifelines of the state even as the state needs to utilize 30 companies each to open the two main national highways. The alleged shortage of security forces to escort good ferry trucks on NH-2 was amidst the report of Centre providing adequate Central Paramilitary Forces (CPMF) to the state for opening the highways.

A highly reliable source in the Manipur government said that only 29 companies (around 2900 security personnel) CPMF had reported to the state and 21 compa-

nies are being utilized in the escort of trucks along the NH-37. The source said that Centre has dispatched 59 companies including 21 companies of CRPF, 27 companies of BSF, two companies of ITBP and nine companies of SSB of CPMF to the state during December month.

However, duration for deployment of 59 companies had ended on January 6 last but the deployment period was extended till January 16 as informed by the Union ministry of home affairs to state chief secretary, home secretary and DGP through a written communiqué.

The source said that 21 companies of CPMF, which are already in the state and 29 additional companies have reported to the state government so far. Nine companies of CPMF are yet to report to the state government. Of the 29 additional companies, 16 companies of BSF/SSB are being deployed along the NH 37 (Imphal-Jiri) and providing protection to goods trucks.

Manmohan takes on Modi; says ‘worse is yet to come’

New Delhi, Jan 11 (PTI): Amid fears of a decline in the country’s GDP, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh cautioned the people today that the worse was yet to come in the wake of demonetisation which he termed as a “disaster”.

At a convention called

by Congress on demonetisation, former Finance Minister P Chidambaram claimed there was no record of the Cabinet meeting of November 8 when the government had said to have taken the decision to withdraw Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes.

In his address at the ‘Jan Vedna’ conclave, Singh termed demonetisation as a “disaster” and said things were going from bad to worse and that the worse was yet to come.

He dismissed as “hollow claim” Prime Minister Narendra “Modi’s propaganda” that things have started looking up.

The former Prime Minister said it was the “solemn duty” of all Congress men to tell the people the wrongs that have been done by Modi and that a “clarion call” should be given to the countrymen to “awake and rise” up in protest.

Both Singh and Chidambaram said there would be decline in the country’s gross domestic product

Manmohan Singh (PTI) (GDP) because of demonetisation. Chidambaram, in his address, said there is no record of the Cabinet meeting of November 8. “Where is the Cabinet note? Where is the Cabinet decision?” he asked. He said that never before in India’s history such a farce has been enacted. The former Finance Minister also said that the reputation of RBI is at risk today.

The government and the central bank generally have differences but never before a government has treated RBI like a department of the Government of India, he added.

He said that even one per cent decline in GDP will lead to a loss of Rs 1.5 lakh crore to the country. He said every challenge thrown by Modi government should be matched by the Congress with utmost courage and utmost wisdom.

“Only Congress party

can stand up to this (challenge).”

The party also issued a statement at the convention that the Prime Minister must reveal what percentage of the demonetised currency notes was black money as practically all the demonetised notes have been deposited in banks.

“This exposes the hollowness of the government’s claims.

The PM is masquerading as a crusader against black money and corruption after having singularly failed in fulfilling his promises of retrieving the unaccounted wealth and money stashed abroad,” it said.

The party said India’s image has been tarnished by projection that the Indian economy was primarily based on black money.

“It is also a matter of concern that during the 50day period of ‘notebandi’, an unholy nexus of certain corrupt BJP leaders, black-marketeers and bank officials were shown to be operating by various media channels, indulging in illegal conversions of stockpiles of currency,” the party said.

It said for the corrupt black money holders, the back door of banks operated, while the common man waited for his turn in lines at front doors. In the

statement, the Congress also demanded an impartial and independent inquiry into charges of personal corruption against Modi when he was the chief minister of Gujarat.

“Why has the Modi government not conducted an investigation into this serious charges of corruption for 31 months despite availability of evidence?

Why is PM Modi not coming forward to conduct an independent probe in the matter if he has nothing to hide?” the statement said.

On demonetisation, the party said Indian economy has been “disrupted, derailed and it is in a shutdown mode” and that millions of workers in farming and construction and in other sectors have lost jobs and employment.

“The Prime Minister remains unmoved and in denial even when tens of millions of people have been forced to stand in queue before banks and ATMs for nearly 60 days. The promised amount of currency notes has not been made available,” the statement said. “The Congress party expresses its serious concern that investment sentiments remain depressed, the investment rate is negative and the gross capital formation has fallen in real terms.”

Shoe hurled at Punjab CM BATHINDA, Jan 11 (Agencies): Close on the heels of stones pelted at the cavalcade of deputy chief minister Sukhbir Badal at village Kandhwala Hazar Khan in Jalalabad on Sunday evening, shoe was hurled at Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal at village Ratta Khera under Lambi assembly constituency on Wednesday afternoon.

Badal who is on election campaign was addressing the people with an appeal to ensure SAD-BJP forms the government in Punjab for third straight term when Gurbachan Singh hurled shoe at the CM. As per the people present in the election meeting the shoe touched Badal though the authorities claimed that the shoe fell near Badal. The police have arrested the person, Gurbachan Singh who is a relative of Sarbat Khalsa appointed Jathedar of Takhat Keshgarh Sahib Amrik Singh Ajnala.

The eyewitnesses said Gurbachan was angry with the SAD-BJP government’s failure in arresting the persons responsible for the acts of sacrilege early October in 2015 and no policeman were identified for the killing of two persons at village Behbal Kalan on October 14, 2015 when they were protesting against desecration of Bir of Guru Granth Sahib.

Mulayam advises Akhilesh Yadav to keep away from party dispute Lucknow, Jan 11 (PTI): Asserting that he would not allow the SP to be split, party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav Wednesday turned emotional, saying he has given whatever he had and advised his son Akhilesh Yadav to keep away from the dispute.

Amidst the ongoing tussle in the party, Mulayam in his address to party workers at the SP headquarters here before leaving for New Delhi once again trained his guns at cousin Ramgopal accusing him of conspiring to break the party and threw his weight behind brother Shivpal Yadav, who is at loggerheads with the UP Chief Minister.

“I know who met the president of another party thrice. He wants to save his son and daughter-in-law.

He should have approached me. I would have saved them. “I asked them (rival camp) not to dispute. I want unity in the party. I am neither making new party not changing our symbol,” he said. “I know who is forming Akhil Bhartiya Samajwadi Party (ABSP) and desiring motorcycle symbol,” he said.

Apparently referring to son Akhilesh’s claim for the party president’s post, Mulayam turned emotional and said, “I have given whatever I had. What is left with me? I only have you (workers) all.”

“I founded SP during Emer-

Mulayam Singh Yadav gency days when Akhilesh Yadav was two years old,” Mulayam said, flanked by brother Shivpal Yadav.

“Akhilesh Yadav is Chief Minister and he will be the next CM also. Why are you (Akhilesh) going to these persons...Don’t drag yourself in dispute. We want unity in party at any cost,” Mulayam said.

Mulayam also praised Shivpal, saying he toiled very hard for the party.

Akhilesh has been demanding removal of Shivpal from the post of the SP’s UP chief and sacking of Amar Singh. But, both his demands have not been entertained by Mulayam leading to the logjam in the party in the poll-bound state.

In his address to the party workers, he said, “Your worry is justified because Samajwadi Party has been formed after struggle.

I had gone to Delhi so that there is no harm to party’s unity. I have given full time for the party and will not

let it split”. When asked to comment on the issue, senior party leader Ambika Chowdhury, considered close to Mulayam, said, “We expect to contest the polls unitedly. SP is ahead of rival BJP and BSP and moreover our candidates are strong.”

About the dispute in the party which has reached the doors of Election Commission, Chowdhury said, “We are confident of retaining ‘cycle’ symbol and will be waiting for EC’s move on January 13.”

The two SP factions led

by Mulayam and Akhilesh have staked claim over the party and its election symbol ‘cycle’ ahead of Assembly elections.

The matter will be heard by Election Commission on January 13.

Won’t form new party, nor change symbol: Mulayam

Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav on Wednesday said he will not form a different party nor change the party’s election symbol ‘cycle’.

“I had gone to Delhi to save the party from breaking,” Mulayam Singh told party workers at his residence here. “What else do I have apart from you people.

“I can understand your concern over the party as it is the result of a lot of hard work,” he said.

New Delhi, Jan 11 (IANS): Election Commission (EC) on Wednesday allotted broadcast timing to political parties for the upcoming assembly elections in five states.

“The facilities will be available from the Regional Kendra of the All India Radio and Doordarshan and in the headquarters of Goa, Punjab, Manipur, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh.

This will be relayed by other stations within the above mentioned States/ UTs,” the commission said in a statement. A base time of 45 minutes will be given to each national party and recognised state party uniformly on the Doordarshan network and All India Radio in the poll-bound states, the release further said. In a single session of broadcast, no party will be allocated more than 15 minutes.

“I have seen a video regarding a BSF jawan’s plight. I have asked the HS (Home Secretary) to immediately seek a report from the BSF & take appropriate action,” Singh had tweeted.

BSF had said Yadav, who posted these videos, was court-martialed in 2010 for indiscipline and aiming a gun at a senior officer even as it assured of a thorough probe into his allegations.

“I don’t want to comment on that (report) as of now but I want to make a personal appeal to the people of the country and the media that do not create an issue...a big issue until the probe in this case is done.

Nagaland Post Vol. XXVII NO. 36 Dimapur, thursday, January 12, 2017

U

The other side

nlike other towns in Nagaland, Dimapur exemplifies a deeply contrasting society, that can be best explained by the characterisation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s ‘Dr.Jekyll and Mr Hyde’ a novel that exposes the duality of human nature and which exposes the struggle between good and evil, with variations such as human versus animal, civilization versus barbarism. For the two faced-city, which is supposed to be the state’s commercial capital and which has instead gradually turned into crime and mafia capital, time is running out. A long term effort is long overdue to face the challenges lest these create another Frankenstein-like sub culture. A poisonous mix of gun and gang culture against the backdrop of entrenched powerful mafia dons appears to be pushing the law breakers and even juvenile offenders into the dark underworld. Anti-social syndrome is a problems and it would be valuable to understand the current social milieu that has influenced youths into waywardness. This issue of young offenders taking advantage of the ‘gun culture’ to commit offences for whatever motives etc, raises a serious question on the ability of society and the law in dealing with this phenomenon of breakdown of social values and also of enforcement of the rule of law. When young people graduate from small time offenders to big time criminals; society cannot run away from the consequences nor responsibility.

The dark side of the city is a rising phenomenon which has not attracted sharp attention except possibly, casual mention about the drug and drink parties which even various authorities have failed to check. Screams, abusive shouts, curse words and violence becomes part of the ‘high’ of these species who seemed to have made night as their day. Such young impressionable minds a growing number who are becoming part of such a group. It may also be pertinent to note, that unchecked and unchallenged offences in towns like Dimapur are signs of erosion of authority as well as the heralding of a new era of a unhealthy environment. It has become a matter of grave concern that the growing sophistication of crimes has overtaken the ability of the law and authorities. However, enforcement cuts both ways both for the enforcer and the enforced. The law ensures that even those enforcing the law live under it as much as those on whom it is sought to be enforced.

The perception of ‘rule of law’ can be made applicable at both the higher and lower levels. The people of Nagaland are indeed concerned with the inherent disinclination of those running the law enforcement system in tackling crimes and most distressed by the disinclination to confront those challenging the authority and rule of established law. Policing has serious challenges due to policies of the state government such as prohibition. The dry act has not decreased offences nor crimes but has decreased the source of tax revenue and increased government spending on enforcement. The other side of the city is like a tumour that has grown is a manifestation of utter neglect by society. These challenges cannot be met only by the law and enforcement authorities but for the society. There can be no way out. It’s similar to the option of either reform or perish.

DailyDevotion What My Obedience to God Costs Other People As they led Him away, they laid hold of a certain man, Simon…, and on him they laid the cross that he might bear it after Jesus. —Luke 23:26 If we obey God, it is going to cost other people more than it costs us, and that is where the pain begins. If we are in love with our Lord, obedience does not cost us anything— it is a delight. But to those who do not love Him, our obedience does cost a great deal. If we obey God, it will mean that other people’s plans are upset. They will ridicule us as if to say, “You call this Christianity?” We could prevent the suffering, but not if we are obedient to God. We must let the cost be paid.

When our obedience begins to cost others, our human pride entrenches itself and we say, “I will never accept anything from anyone.” But we must, or disobey God. We have no right to think that the type of relationships we have with others should be any different from those the Lord Himself had (see Luke 8:1-3).

A lack of progress in our spiritual life results when we try to bear all the costs ourselves. And actually, we cannot.

Because we are so involved in the universal purposes of God, others are immediately affected by our obedience to Him. Will we remain faithful in our obedience to God and be willing to suffer the humiliation of refusing to be independent? Or will we do just the opposite and say, “I will not cause other people to suffer”? We can disobey God if we choose, and it will bring immediate relief to the situation, but it will grieve our Lord. If, however, we obey God, He will care for those who have suffered the consequences of our obedience. We must simply obey and leave all the consequences with Him. Beware of the inclination to dictate to God what consequences you would allow as a condition of your obedience to Him.

Public sector banking is now in a bigger mess

he break at writing the Diary turned out to be much longer than I had expected. The main reason for it will become obvious in the days to come.

A lot has happened during this period, including the Modi government’s defence of demonetisation, which has grown by leaps and bounds. Nevertheless, I thought of giving writing on demonetisation a break for the first piece for the Diary in 2017.

One thing that has got side-lined in the entire discussion on demonetisation is the fact that Indian public sector banks continue to remain in a mess. In fact, as we shall see the mess has only grown bigger in the recent past. As the RBI Financial Stability Report for December 2016 points out: “The stress on banking sector, particularly the public sector banks (PSBs) remain significant... PSBs as a group continued to record losses.”

The gross non-performing assets ratio or the

bad loans of the PSBs, increased to 11.8 per cent as on September 30, 2016. This is a whopping increase of 220 basis points from 9.6 per cent as of March 31, 2016.

One basis point is one hundredth of a percentage.

The overall stressed assets of public sector banks jumped to 15.8 per cent of total loans. It had stood at 14.9 per cent as on March 31, 2016.

The stressed asset figure of 15.8 per cent was obtained by adding bad loans of 11.8 per cent with restructured assets of 4 per cent. This basically means that for every Rs 100 that the PSBs have given out as a loan, Rs 15.8 are in a dodgy territory, on an average.

Out of every Rs 100 of loans made by the banks, borrowers have stopped repaying loans worth Rs 11.8. Over and above that loans worth Rs 4 for every Rs 100 of loans given by the banks have been restructured. A restructured loan essentially implies that the borrower has been given a moratorium during which

he does not have to repay the principal amount. In some cases, even the interest need not be paid. In some other cases, the tenure of the loan has been increased.

This is clearly a reason to worry. Nevertheless, there is a small good sign here as well. Unlike earlier, when banks were using the restructuring route to not recognise bad loans, that doesn’t seem to be happening much now. As on March 31, 2016, the restructured loans had stood at 4.9 per cent of total loans. This has fallen to 4 per cent of total loans as of September 30, 2016. Banks are now recognising bad loans as bad loans. The first step towards solving a problem is recognising that it exists.

The increase in bad loans of public sector banks can also be seen in the bad loans figure of large borrowers. The Reserve Bank of India categorises large borrowers as borrowers with an outstanding loan amount of Rs 5 crore or more. The Financial Stability Report points out: “The large bor-

rowers registered significant deterioration in their asset quality.”

However, the report does not mention a clear bad loans figure for the large borrowers. As the RBI Financial Stability Report for June 2016 pointed out: “The gross non-performing assets(GNPA) ratio of large borrowers increased sharply from 7.0 per cent to 10.6 per cent during September 2015 to March 2016.” This basically means that as on September 30, 2016, the gross non-performing assets ratio or the bad loans of banks would have stood at greater than 10.6 per cent.

If we look at Figure 1, the bad loans ratio for the large borrowers seems to be greater than 15 per cent as of September 30, 2016.

The large borrowers form 56.5 per cent of the total loans given by banks.

Nonetheless, they form 88.4 per cent of the total bad loans of banks. And this is where the basic trouble is.

The rate of recovery of bad loans by banks is also not good enough.

As a recent report in The Indian Express points out: “The rate of recovery of non-performing assets (NPAs) was 10.3 per cent, or Rs 22,800 crore, out of the total NPAs of Rs 221,400 crore during fiscal ended March 2016, against Rs 30,800 crore (12.4 per cent) of the total amount of Rs 248,200 crore reported in March 2015, data from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has said.”

Indeed, what is worrying is that the RBI points out that the bad loans of the PSBs could increase fur ther. As the repor t points out: “Among the bank groups, PSBs may continue to register the highest GNPA ratio. Under baseline scenario, the PSBs’ GNPA ratio may increase to 12.5 per cent in March 2017 and then to 12.9 per cent in March 2018 from 11.8 per cent in September 2016, which could increase further under a severe stress scenario.”

Interestingly, the June 2016 Financial Stability Report had pointed out:

“Among the bank-groups, PSBs may continue to register the highest GNPA ratio.

Under the baseline scenario, their GNPA ratio may go up to 10.1 per cent by March 2017 from 9.6 per cent as of March 2016.

However, under a severe stress scenario, it may increase to 11.0 per cent by March 2017.”

We h av e a l r e a d y crossed the severe stress level in September 2016, something which was forecast only for March 2017.

This basically means that the government will have to keep pumping more and more capital into these banks in the years to come in order to keep them going. And that means a lot more money of taxpayers will essentially go down the drain.

Postscript: I would like to thank all readers who supported my recent petition to the President. I am in the process of planning the dispatch of the responses received to the President.

Post-mortem

To sign or not to sign: what does Nagas think about Naga?

2

017 will be an important but difficult year for Naga.

While the world is entering into the brand new year, Naga is expecting from the crucial and protracted peace negotiation which kick-started in 1997, which are expected to be a fierce intellectual battle. Modi can prove to be “make it or break it” moment in Naga’s relations with the India, which are presently in a watershed moment.

The Naga saw her imprisonment (hunger of power, corruption and the focused now on material accumulation for their selfish attainment of artificial status in society) along with the lack of New Delhi political commitment to resolve the issues. This was compounded by a deterioration of democratic values of NSCM-(IM), which spearheading the political negotiation. Amid concern over the way the political process was being conducted, many Naga organisations and individual concern have been seriously voicing, that the dialectical approach of both NSCM-(IM) and New Delhi and could derail the peace process, which has spent the last 19 years negotiating.

At the first glance, what does Nagas think about Naga? Might seem a strange question. However, it is the one that many populations of Naga as well as the India are increasingly asking themselves

and understandably so. After so many years of the negotiation, India seems to have lost interest in it. The primacy that Naga issue once assumed in Indian domestic issues and foreign policy has rapidly vanished. What do the Naga want? What does Indian think about Indo-Naga peace negotiation? Is there any vision left? From start, the ceasefire has rested on a gamble. When Naga leaders opted for a ceasefire in 1997, they wagered that Naga’s could converge toward one another; with all the different tribes demographically living in different states, would have become a little more like one, by accepting each other to form a consolidated “Nagalim” as a one common body. This did not occur.

Today, Naga is political, socially, and economically in mess, the true implications of this gamble are becoming clear. The struggle continues with no sign of political pact almost after 20 years of negotiations, which led to vulnerability instead of freedom, indebtedness instead of autonomy, poverty instead of prosperity and a deep political, economic and spiritual crisis instead of hope, optimism, and fraternity. And yet desired for freedom lived on.

James A. Barker III former US secretary of State once said, “Almost every achievement contains within its success the

seeds of a future problem.” This political and social mess provides a trenchant example of this phenomenon. When the long sought but uncertain implementation of a cease-fire finally began, as a part of a bundle of deals that produced Naga under one umbrella, it represents a significant accomplishment. The implementation of cease-fire provided the necessary catalyst for all the success of that achievement, however, is left behind fateful seeds, which is sprouting. The mess resulted not only from the Government of India insincerity, lack of political vision and divide and rule policy but also from flaws in our leaders approach and long-term decline in interest in true Naga issues cooperation. We are in muddling through the period.

The Naga leaders have done a remarkable job managing the short-term symptoms of the chaos, although the costs have been great and tragic. Yet the long-term challenge remains. For this to happen, Naga must align politically, socially and other areas, which will first require Naga to reject the common misdiagnoses of the current mess. It is the result of a fundamental disequilibrium within the single political zone, which the current leaders applies a single political and social policy to diverse tribal groups. Thus,

The Indo-Myanmar border issue

T

he recent policy of erecting international boarder fencing by the Govt. of India and Burma is another factor that will create more disastrous division among the Nagas in fact the treaty of Yandabo of 1826 signed between British India Govt. and the Burmese Kingdom is totally against the International law which gives legitimate right to entire nationals for self determination and territorial integrity.

However the most destructive divide and rule policy has badly affected the Naga land owners right and much against the aspiration of Nagas in general specially people living under International Border Area.

In fact the treaty of Yandabo of 1826 has created division among the Nagas where as the Nagas had never ever lived nor surrendered to any foreign Power/ rulers, besides the free Naga land is the most respected inheritance of our ancient ancestors that the divide and rule policy of British imperial power which has been adopted by the Government of India is also playing the same of divide and rule policy. Whereas the Nagas has already been subjugated under that ‘draconian law’ military terrorism which is totally against international law of human rights and against the aspiration of Nagas in General.

Moreover the Govt. of India has erected imaginary boundary fencing much against the aspiration and legitimate right of the land owners in 1973, without consulting the Nagas

in general. Therefore in legal term this is a serious act of antiinternational human right and much against Naga rights apart from that right from the ancient Naga era, no country, kingdom, power has ever dominated the Naga country, inspite of the physical presence of Britishers in Naga country who had ruled over the Naga people. However the Nagas did not make any treaty/agreement with the British India Government nor with the Burmese Kingdom at any point of time therefore no country has any legitimate right to occupy or divide the Naga ancestral territories, specially the Govt. of India has nothing to do with the construction of boarder fencing, therefore the Naga political groups and entire bonafide Naga citizen vehemently condemn the proposal for the said project and we shall never allow any foreigners to interfere nor subjugate the rights of Nagas.

As a responsible Naga patriot the NPGN/NNC (N/A) is fully committed and determined to protect the Naga ancestral land and shall not compromise with any anti-Naga policy made by non Nagas (Foreigner) the Indo-Myanmar boundary issue has inflected great division among the entire Naga citizens and their bonafide land ownership and its resources whereas in 1973 an unrecognized imaginary boundary fencing was made without consulting the land owners and the Nagas in general. Violating anti-Naga rights and International human rights.

The international in legal law framework article 1 and 55 and U.N. charter (a) that says to develop friendly relation among nations based on respect for principle of equal right and self determination of the people to strengthen universal peace. The international covenant of 1966 and the U.N. General assembly resolution 2644 (XXV) which has adapted in 1982 which gives the legitimacy of the struggle of people for independence, territorial integrity, national unity, liberation from colonial power, foreign domination foreign occupation and armed struggle (3) The UN general assembly resolution No. 1542 (XV) recognized that the desire for independence is the rightful aspiration of the people under colonial subjugation. Taking into consideration of those few universal laws of People’s movement on the basis of their legitimacy both the Govt. of India and the Govt. of Myanmar should respect the Nagas right and the legal law framework of international apex body and should not take any step that would create division within the Naga families and promote universal peace and unity. However in case of not complying with the above mentioned law of United Nations, the Nagas shall not tolerate any forceful ad clone by foreigners to divide the Nagas and shall fight for the integrity of Nagas and their land which is the birth rights of Nagas inherited from time immemorial.

N. Mar Ao, MIP Kilonser NPGN/NNC (N/A)

presence leaders must trust in the essentially democratic nature of the Naga society, which will encourage them to distribute the cost of convergence more fairly within and among the tribes. The burden must be shifted from the top-down public policy to periphery political, social and economic activities of respective tribes who involves in the mainstream of the society. If this does not occur, then survival of the so-called Nagalim will be called into question and Naga will face a long-term social, economic and political catastrophic that could drain its political strength and social coherence for the rest of this decade and beyond.

If the Naga is to continue to function, some damage limitation is needed. Our leaders must show constructive leadership role which includes greater willingness to discuss people contribution in strengthening the nation formation as demanded, as well as the presentation of a vigorous case to the people, that saving the political aspiration and achievement the political aspiration lie at the heart of Naga national interest. Our current leaders have thus far reacted to this stunning loss of momentum by entering a holding pattern. The hope is to buy enough time for new leaders to emerge who will reclaim the Naga project. However, buying time may not be the best the

leaders can do for now. The Naga needs a new generation of leaders who can breathe life into a project that is perilously close to expiring in this unthinking generation. For now, they are nowhere to be found.

However, history is knocking on our door. So what will determine whether the Naga stalls in its Naga projects or moves forward? The current political negotiation with the government of India narrative is unsure, fragmented and does not provide the necessary political foundation for a wide-ranging institutional capacity building.

The lack of consensus about the correct political formula for Naga seriously compromises any further progress. Today we are witnessing a rise of political intolerance, crony capitalism, and social detachment in Naga society. Now is the time for Naga to produce a constructive result from the crisis with strong political will and creativity to respond with decisive innovation.

There has been a striking lack of coordinated political leadership across the Naga area in the face of political pressure. Dialoguing is the best way to unlock misunderstanding.

Representation to DC Kohima & chairman, RTA (On phasing out of 15 years old City Bus-reg.)

Sir,

In continuation of the City Bus Owners’ Union Kohima representation submitted earlier on the above mentioned subject, the undersigned on behalf of the CBOUK resubmit the following as per discussion on the matter recently.

That Sir, presently about 135 city Bus are plying in Kohima town employing about 270 persons i.e. Drivers and conductors. This is the cheapest mode of traval available in Kohima town. The City Buses also extended its services to the colleges and schools in Kohima town and adjoining area.

The Churches are also utilising the services of the city Buses for its church attendance. More than 5000 commuters are utilising the services of the City bus which is the cheapest among other transportation like Local Taxis and Private Taxis. Now there are other vehicle private or Govt owned vehicle like Trucks, Bus, Cars which has more than 15 years old are not come under the present phasing out category but only targeting the city buses which is not fair.

Regarding safety point of view it may be stated that except in some cases of drunken drivers related accident no case of accident is seen due to old age or mechanical failure in Kohima town. The Central Government while taking up the issue of non registration of Diesel vehicle with Delhi Government the Supreme court also giving its ruling in favour of Central Government and lifted the ban on registration of Diesel Vehicles. It is also observed by Central Government that there is no violation of Motor Vehicle rules and regulation when vehicles comply with fitness and pollution norms. It also stated that the age of vehicle cannot be the criteria and even in the most developed countries fitness test and compliance of vehicles to the standards is the sole criteria for disallowing a vehicle from plying. Further to state that there is no such enforcement taken place anywhere in India. The MV Act of 1988(59) 1 empowerd the RTA to fix the age limit of motor vehicle but no specific years is mentioned and there is scope for reaching mutual understanding on the issue.

In view of the above stated reasons your kind authority is requested to re-examine the matter and give reasonable period of time to settle the matter amicably .

BJP, NC MLAs clash in J-K Assembly

Opposition National Conference and Congress MLA’s shouting slogans in Legislative Assembly during their protest over various issues, in Jammu on Wednesday. (PTI)

Jammu, Jan 11 (PTI): Members of National Conference and BJP legislators clashed in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly during the Opposition’s protest to demand a time-bound judicial probe into civilian killings during the 2016 Kashmir unrest. As Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti announced that her gov-

ernment will set up special investigation teams in all districts for probing the killings in a time-bound manner, NC MLA Mohd Akbar Lone intervened demanding a judicial inquiry into the matter. He was seconded by Congress’s G M Saroori.

Independent legislator Hakeem Yaseen also said

that government should constitute a judicial commission to probe the cases.

NC member Ali Mohmmad Sagar said that unlike Omar Abdullah, who owned up to the killings in 2010, Mufti “remained hidden”. He said a commission headed by a retired Supreme Court judge should look into the matter.

Lu c k n ow, Ja n 1 1 (IANS): The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday attacked the ruling Samajwadi Party (SP) over the in-fighting, and said it was a “political drama” staged by the Yadav clan to divert the mind of the people from misgovernance.

BJP state unit chief Keshav Prasad Maurya claimed that the unending feud in the ruling party was, in fact, a “well thought off ” drama that was being enacted by the father-son duo of Mulayam Singh Yadav and Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav to dis-

tract people from the total failures of the Samajwadi Party government in the last five years. “There have been more than 500 communal riots in the state in the SP government’s tenure, statues have been vandalised by goons in the heart of the state capital, a schoolgirl was raped a few hundred metres from the official residence of the Chief Minister, and safety of women was at its worst in the Akhilesh Yadav regime”, the BJP leader said.

He also claimed that attempts were now being made to whitewash the wrongdoings of the ruling party.

resolution remains null and void”.

Interestingly, MAPO said the hoho’s statement, supporting women reservation, was ‘ironical” since the president and the finance secretary of the Pochury Hoho had resigned and filed their nominations for the Meluri Town Council polls, while the vice president was out of station.

Further, MAPO said the statement made by Pochury Hoho general secretary Vichutho Nyusou was purely “an individual view or otherwise

is an abuse of power.” The credibility of his act was highly questionable as the executive council of the Hoho never empowered any office bearer to function and take authority in the absence of a president, it said. Therefore, MAPO said the statement made by Nyusou “does not reflect the views of the hoho or the executive council”.

In this regard, MAPO has fervently appealed to all the intending candidates to withdraw their candidature for the forthcoming Meluri Town Council election.

535 candidates cleared for ULB polls (From p-1) Tuensang and in Medziphema to prevent candidates from filing nominations.

Meanwhile, SEC has given three days time to the rejected candidates to clarify to the appellate authority.

Their nomination papers would only be accepted after their clarification was found valid, SEC said. Also no candidates have withdrawn their nomination papers on the first day of the withdrawal.

The last date of withdrawal of nomination is January 17.

During the period, he said 984 persons have been arrested for various offences under IPC/Special laws.

Police also seized/recovered 69 motor vehicles/two

wheelers, 969 kgs of Ganja and 89,562 bottles of IMFL seized, he said. Police also registered 809 cases crime under IPC, PRO said.

Act, six crimes under DC Act, 145 cases under NLTP Act, three cases under explosive substance Act, one case under Foreigners Act and 56 in other IPC. PRO said, the increase in the case registration was due to various pro-active policing and increased in the number of cases detected for offences under the Nagaland Liquor Total Prohibition Act (NLTP); increased in detection of cases of extortion by Anti Extortion Cells and other offences. He said as per the apex Court guidelines, all missing reports and complaints have been registered as regular cases.

“The increase in number of cases under the crime head - Kidnapping & Abduction, is attributed to this factor”, PRO said.

On the proposed amendment of the Motor Vehicles Act – which he called ‘outdated’ – to enable tougher action, the union Minister said, “if all goes well at a meeting on January 27 then I need to take (the proposal) to the Cabinet and then to parliament.” In a democracy, he stressed, “we need to take everyone on board.”

Besides strict norms, the amendments focus on the safety of the road users, road accident victims, stricter driving licensing norms and penalties for law violators.

New Delhi, Jan 11 (Agencies): Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj said on Twitter that visas of Amazon officials would be rescinded, after Amazon Canada was found to be selling doormats featuring the Indian flag.

“Amazon must tender unconditional apology.

They must withdraw all products insulting our national flag immediately,” Sushma Swaraj tweeted, ”If this is not done forthwith, we will not grant Indian Visa to any Amazon official. We will also rescind the Visas issued earlier,” she added.

Earlier, a Twitter user brought to Sushma.

Swaraj’s attention that Amazon Canada was selling doormats featuring the Indian flag. A simple search on Amazon Canada

by NDTV verified this claim.

It’s worth pointing out that Amazon is a marketplace and is not directly involved in selling all goods on its website, and the products in question seem to have been listed by a third-party seller.

New Delhi, Jan 11 (Agencies): A third of the driving licences in India are fake, Nitin Gadkari said today, admitting that it was “embarrassing” for him to admit it as the country’s Road Transport Minister. “30 per cent of the licenses in India are bogus.

It is embarrassing for me to state this as a minister,” Mr Gadkari said at the Road To Safety Conclave, a joint initiative by NDTV and Diageo.

He added, “We are pushing for intelligent traffic systems which will enable us to immediately track, real-time, when there is a traffic violation.”

Admitting that there are gaps in road safety mea-

As the government did not respond to the opposition’s demand of a judical probe, members of the opposition parties threw papers in the Well of the House and resorted to anti-government sloganeering and hooting. Verbal duels were witnessed between BJP and NC members, who trooped into the Well of the House surrounded by marshals and watch and ward staff.

Cong ress Legislative Party leader Nawang Rigzin Jora said, “Mufti should take responsibility of the killings last year as Omar did in 2010. She is coward. There should be a judicial probe.” Some NC legislators then rushed to BJP MLA Ravinder Raina and snatched his mike when he was speaking on the governor’s address, triggering pushing and shoving between the members of two parties.

A scuffle erupted between the members of the two parties when the NC MLAs tried to snatch Raina’s mike again. National Conference legislator Abdul Majeed Bhat Larmi was marshalled out of the House by the watch and ward staff for creating ruckus.

New Delhi, Jan 11 (PTI): Propped by firm global cues and increased buying by jewellers at the domestic bullion market, gold prices advanced for the second straight day today, gaining Rs 70 at Rs 29,100 per 10 grams.

Silver also recaptured the Rs 41,000-level by surging Rs 550 to Rs 41,300 per kg backed by increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers. Marketmen said that besides a firming trend overseas, increased buying activity by jewellers to meet retailers’ demand ahead of wedding season at the domestic spot market kept the metal prices higher.

Globally, gold rose 0.29 per cent to USD 1,190.70 an ounce and silver 0.39 per cent to USD 16.82 an ounce in Singapore. In the national capital, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per cent purity added Rs 70 each to Rs 29,100 and Rs 28,950 per 10 gram. The precious metal had climbed Rs 330 yesterday.

The RBI Governor noted as well that the RBI would continue to press ahead with a “fluid transmission” of monetary policy, less than two weeks after lenders announced steep cuts in their lending rates.

Mumbai, Jan 11 (PTI): The rupee was trading lower by 7 paise at 68.25 against the American currency in early trade today after the dollar gained strength overseas. Forex dealers said increased demand for the US currency from importers and dollar’s gains against other currencies overseas put pressure on the rupee. They said, however, a higher opening in the domestic equity market capped the rupee losses. Yesterday, the rupee had ended 3 paise higher at 68.18 against the American currency in a range bound trade amid weak dollar overseas. Meanwhile, the benchmark BSE Sensex recaptured the 27,000-mark by surging 151.01 points, or 0.56 per cent, to 27,050.57 in the opening trade on Wednesday.

Emphasising that broad-based and wideranging cooperation in agriculture and food security was a shared priority, Modi said the two sides were collaborating to raise agricultural productivity in Kenya.

“The Line of Credit Agreement of USD 100 million signed for agricultural mechanisation today would open a new dimension of engagement. Longterm arrangement with Kenya for production and import of pulses is being explored and discussed.

We would also be happy to share best practices in organic farming with Kenyan farmers,” Modi added.

On his part, Kenyatta thanked India for all the assistance provided in various sectors including scholarships in IT and other fields.

New Delhi, Jan 11 (Agencies): In its first report after November’s demonetisation, the World Bank has lowered the India’s GDP growth estimate for this fiscal to 7 percent, from its earlier estimate of 7.6 percent made in June last year. “The immediate withdrawal of a large volume of currency in circulation and subsequent replacement with new notes announced by the government in November contributed to slowing growth in 2016,” the World Bank said in its latest report.

“Weak industrial production and manufacturing and services purchasing managers` indexes further suggest a setback to activity in the fourth quarter of FY 2017,” it added.

The World Bank, however, asserted that the country would regain momentum in the following years with 7.6 and 7.8 percent growth.

“India is expected to regain its momentum, with growth rising to 7.6 percent in Fiscal Year(FY) 2018 and strengthening to 7.8 percent in FY 2019-20,” the Bank said, adding that various reform initiatives are expected to unlock domestic supply bottlenecks and raise productivity.

US president Obama gives emotional farewell speech

US charges Ban Ki-moon’s relatives in bribery case SEOUL, Jan 11 (Agencies): A US bribery case against two relatives has cast a pall over former United Nations chief Ban Kimoon’s planned return this week to South Korea, where he is expected to launch a bid to run for president.

Ban, 72, has not declared his candidacy but has had a team of people laying groundwork in Seoul ahead of his planned arrival in South Korea on Thursday afternoon. The former foreign minister consistently polls as a top candidate as South Korea braces for the possibility of an early election following parliament’s December impeachment of President Park Geun-hye in an influence-peddling scandal. If South Korea’s Constitutional Court upholds the impeachment, Park would become South Korea’s first democratically elected leader to leave office in disgrace.

Lee Do-woon, Ban’s spokesman, was quick to distance

Ban Ki-moon

Ban from the indictment, which was filed against his younger brother and his nephew in a Manhattan federal court. It accuses Ban’s relatives of a scheme to bribe a Middle Eastern official for an attempted $800 million sale of a building complex in Vietnam. “Ban was greatly surprised by the news, which he learned from the media. He knows nothing about it,” said Lee, who also said Ban would address various concerns directly upon his arrival in South Korea.

Prison head suspended over Brazil jail-break B r a s ilia , Ja n 1 1 (IANS): A top prison officer has been suspended for allegedly allowing weapons and drugs in the gaol before a deadly jail-break on New Year’s Day in Brazil, officials said. The interim director of the Anisio Jobim prison where 56 inmates were killed and 112 escaped on January 1 was suspended on Tuesday.

Sergio Fontes, Secretary of Public Security, confirmed suspension of Jose Carvalho Da Silva, Xinhua reported.

Fontes said the director had allowed weapons and drugs into the prison complex.

C&T, and an affiliate firm, Cheil Industries.

Prosecutors allege that Samsung gave €2.8m euros ($3.1m; £2.5m) to a company co-owned by Choi and her daughter, in return for Park’s support for the deal.

Lee Jae-yong has already given evidence to politicians over the scandal, but this is the first time he will be quizzed as a suspect by investigators.

At the parliamentary hearing in December Samsung admitted giving a total of 20.4bn won (£16m; $17.46m) to the two foundations, but denied seeking favours.

And Lee also confirmed the firm gave a horse and money to help the equestrian career of Choi’s daughter, Chung Yoo-ra, something he said he now regretted.

Earlier this week two other Samsung executives were interviewed by the special prosecutors, but were treated as witnesses rather than suspects.

Park’s position began to unravel in October last year when details of her friendship with Choi began to emerge. They included revelations that the president had allowed her old friend - who holds no government role - to edit political speeches.

Kremlin denies compromising information on Donald Trump M o s cow, J a n 1 1 (Agencies): Russia has denied claims its intelligence agencies have compromising material about Donald Trump.

Dmitry Peskov, President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, said the allegations were “pulp fiction” and a “clear attempt to damage relations”.

The unsubstantiated claims say his presidential campaign secretly communicated with Moscow.

They also say Russia has information about the US president-elect involving prostitutes.

Trump has condemned the reports.

The president-elect tweeted: “FAKE NEWS - A TOTAL POLITICAL WITCH HUNT!” Trump is due to hold a news conference on Wednesday, nine days before he takes office.

It was meant to be about his attempts to separate himself from his business commitments, to address concerns about conflicts of interest.

Last week, US intelligence agencies released an unclassified report saying Russia ran a hacking campaign to influence the US presidential elections.

DUBAI, JAN 11 (Agencies): The United Arab Emirates announced on Wednesday that five of its diplomats were killed in a bombing in southern Afghanistan the day before, one of the worst attacks to target the young nation’s diplomatic corps.

The federation of seven sheikhdoms on the Arabian Peninsula said it would immediately fly the nation’s flag at halfstaff in honor of the dead from the attack Tuesday in Kandahar. Meanwhile, the Taliban denied planting the bomb in the Kandahar attack, which also wounded the UAE ambassador to Afghanistan.

Dubai’s ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid

Al Maktoum, the UAE’s prime minister and vice president, said on Twitter that “there is no human, moral or religious justification for the bombing and killing of people trying to help” others.

The Kandahar attack targeted a guesthouse of provincial governor Homayun Azizia, who was also wounded in the assault, along with UAE Ambassador Juma Mohammed Abdullah al-Kaabi.

The Taliban claimed

attacks earlier on Tuesday in Kabul that killed at least 38 people and wounded dozens. But on Wednesday, they issued a short statement blaming an ‘internal local rivalry’ for the attack.

The Taliban have denied some attacks in the past that diplomats and security forces later attributed to the group. An attack inside the heavily guarded compound would represent a major breach of security, even in Afghanistan, a country long torn by war.

figure in order to create a threat of negative publicity, if needed.

The US intelligence agencies reportedly presented the information - a two-page synopsis - to the president-elect, to President Barack Obama and to congressional leaders last week, CNN first reported.

It allegedly refers to documents said to have been compiled for Trump’s political enemies by a former British intelligence agent, CNN and the New York Times say.

Past work by this operative was considered by US intelligence to be credible, the reports add.

The original intention was to derail Trump’s candidacy, they say.

The allegations began circulating in political and media circles in recent months.

Warsaw, Jan 11 (IANS): An additional 300 US soldiers arrived in Poznan, western Poland, on Wednesday after Nato decided to reinforce its eastern flank on Russia’s border.

His delivery was forceful for most of his speech, but by the end he was wiping away tears as the crowd embraced him one last time.

Reflecting on the corrosive recent political campaign, he said, “That potential will be realized only if our democracy works.

Only if our politics reflects the decency of our people.

Seoul, Jan 11 (Agencies): Samsung heir-apparent Lee Jae-yong is to be interviewed as a suspect in a corruption scandal surrounding the impeached South Korean president.

The firm is accused of giving donations to nonprofit foundations operated

by Choi Soon-sil, a confidante of President Park Geun-hye.

The donations were allegedly made in exchange for political support of a controversial merger.

Lee will face special prosecutors on Thursday, officials said. Samsung declined to comment.

Lee is currently vicepresident of Samsung Electronics. But since his father, Lee Kun-hee, suffered a heart attack in 2014, he is considered de facto boss of the entire Samsung Group conglomerate. Politicians voted on 9 December to impeach President Park over the scandal - a decision South Korea’s constitutional court has six months to uphold or overturn. Until then she remains formally president but stripped of her powers, which are handed to the prime minister, a presidential appointee.

C H I C AG O, J a n 1 1 (Agencies): Conceding disappointments during his presidency yet offering vigorous encouragement for the nation’s future, Barack Obama issued an emotional defense Tuesday night of his vision to Americans facing a moment of anxiety and a dramatic change in leadership.

Obama’s valedictory speech in his hometown of Chicago was a public meditation on the trials and triumphs, promises kept and promises broken that made up his eight years in the White House. Arguing his faith in America had been confirmed, Obama said he ends his tenure inspired

by America’s “boundless capacity’’ for reinvention,

when he noted the imminence of that change and the crowd began booing, he responded, “No, no, no, no, no.’’ One of the nation’s great strengths, he said, “is the peaceful transfer of power from one president to the next.”

Earlier, as the crowd of thousands chanted, “Four more years,’’ he simply smiled and said, “I can’t do that.”

Soon Obama and his family will exit the national stage, to be replaced by Trump, a man Obama had stridently argued poses a dire threat to the nation’s future.

His near-apocalyptic warnings throughout the campaign have cast a continuing shadow over his post-election efforts to reassure Americans anxious about the future.

Indeed, much of what Obama accomplished over the past eight years — from health care overhaul and environmental regulations to his nuclear deal with Iran — could potentially be upended by Trump. So even as Obama seeks to define what his presidency meant for America, his legacy remains in question.

eteran actor Tom Alter has taken on a role as celebrated author Ruskin Bond in a new short film, its maker Bhargav Saikia has revealed. Saikia, whose Kashmir-set independent thriller production “Kaafiron Ki Namaaz� and horror short film “Awakenings� was widely acclaimed, is happy to welcome the actor on board for his new project, which narrates one of Bond’s short stories. The director-producer did not wish to name which story of the noted author he has picked to translate to the screen.

Talking about roping in Tom Alter for the role, Saikia told IANS that his extensive acting experience in films, theatre and television, and his close friendship with the author, will be an asset to the film. While Saikia is looking forward to a “fruitful collaboration� with the actor, he is happy that he has Bond’s support for the film too.

estating for nearly two decades, director Shoojit Sircar’s dream project, a biopic on revolutionary Udham Singh, is finally set to become a reality.

Shoojit, who produced last year’s most impactful film “Pink�, says he wanted to make the movie on Udham Singh right after he shifted to Mumbai. “I have been working on the story for 18-19 years now. When I shifted to Mumbai, this was the first film that I wanted to make but something else would always come up. It is set in pre-Independence era, so it was a little difficult to plan,� Shoojit told PTI in an interview.

The director says his visit to Jallianwala Bagh in the ‘90s triggered the idea about Udham Singh, who assassinated Michael

O’Dwyer, the former Lieutenant Governor of the Punjab in British India in 1940, to avenge the 1919 massacre. “In the ‘90s we had a group in Delhi called Act One which had me, Piyush Mishra and Ashish Vidyarthi. We used to sing songs of national harmony.� “During this time, Punjab was coming out of turmoil.

I visited the Golden Temple and Jallianwala Bagh at that time. When I went there

and saw what actually happened there, that triggered me emotionally.�

Shoojit, who has films like “Yahaan�, “Vicky Dina�, “Madras Cafe� and “Piku� to his credit, says Udham Singh is a forgotten hero. “He was one of the prominent faces of the freedom movement but youngsters don’t know much about this martyr. He is a forgotten hero. Through my film, I want the youngsters to know him.�

George Lucas to open $1 billion museum in LA

50th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

G

eorge Lucas is to open a new $1 billion (ÂŁ825 million) art museum in Los Angeles.

The Star Wars creator’s Museum of Narrative Art will be located in the city’s Exposition Park, the LA Times reports.

The museum will feature Lucas’s personal collection of fine and popular art, as well as various Star Wars-related items such as the original Darth Vader mask. Lucas has said he will plough a total of $1 billion into the project, consisting of building casts, his own art collection and an endowment for future additions.

Lucas chose the LA location after weighing up a rival pitch from a location in San Francisco.

DreamWorks Animation’s Chief Executive hailed Lucas’s decision to build the museum in LA, saying:

“This will be a transformative opportunity for LA. First and foremost for our residents, who are going to have an outstanding cultural, iconic new force here — the force will be with us — and I think for tourism, and for the continued, extraordinary transformation of downtown Los Angeles, and for Exposition Park and the other museums it will be joining.�

It was revealed last month (December) that Lucas, who sold Lucasfilm to Disney in 2012 for $4 billion (ÂŁ3.3 billion), “really likedâ€? the franchise’s latest film, spin-off Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Meanwhile, it was reported yesterday that the relationship between Luke Skywalker and Rey is set to be a major part of the forthcoming new Star Wars film, the as-yet-untitled Episode 8.

It is the exact antithesis of what Ra.One (2011) was in terms of concept. My character draws from Benedict Cumberbatch in Sherlock and Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory, so Kunal’s inputs will be vital for me. Our intention is to create an Indian parallel, using these characters as reference points,� says Anshuman. The actor will travel to the US to seek Kunal’s opinion. “I’m flying out next month to show the finished product to Kunal. His opinion really matters in this case.

Seeds tumble at Auckland

Roberto Bautista Agut returns a shot during his match.

AUC K L A N D ( A F P ) : Injury and upsets hit the ATP Auckland Classic o n We d n e s d ay, w i t h illness forcing out top seed Roberto Bautista Agut and David Ferrer’s bid for a record fifth title ending with a whimper.

Sixth seed Feliciano Lopez also conceded a walkover, while John Isner and Marcos Baghdatis both flirted with disaster against unfancied second-round opponents.

The only seed to display any type of dominance was fourth seeded Jack Sock, who showed a clean pair of heels dispatching fellow American Ryan Harrison 7-6 (7/5), 4-6, 6-1.

Defending champion Bautista Agut of Spain was the first to exit, pulling out of the Australian Open wa r m - u p t o u r n a m e n t with a stomach bug before hitting a ball in anger. His third-seeded compatriot Fer rer soon followed, shattering his dream of adding to the record of

four Auckland titles he shares with Australian Rod Emerson.

Ferrer, a former world number three, now ranked 21st in the world, slumped to a loss after his trademark consistency deserted him against Dutchman Robin H a a s e. Fe r r e r b e g a n aggressively, creating three break-point chances in the fourth game but could not unable to convert any of them. He made no mistake when another opportunity presented itself two games l a t e r, r u n n i n g H a a s e around the court until the Dutchman sent a return long, then wrapped up the first set 6-2 after just 32 minutes. But it was his last period of dominance, as Haase hit back with a service break to open the second set and held on to the advantage as Ferrer’s error rate climbed.

The deciding set also began with a frustrated Ferrer conceding a break, although this time he broke back and forced a

tie-breaker.

But Haase held his nerve and brought up two match points, needing only one of them when Ferrer netted a return and left the court dejected.

“At first I was a little bit off... then suddenly in the second set I was more relaxed and started to hit the ball a bit more comfortably and serve really well,” the Dutchman Sixth-seeded Spaniard Feliciano Lopez conceded a walkover after suffering back spasms during his warm-up.

Second seed Isner, the champion in 2014 and 2010, had to survive match point in a third-set tiebreak before overcoming Tunisia’s Malek Jaziri 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (8/6). The bigserving American admitted he was rusty during his first outing of the season.

Eighth seed Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus also struggled against German wildcard Dustin Brown, coming from behind for a 4-6, 7-6 (7/4), 6-4 victory.

sports Manav, Archana, TCV annual session Tragopan Moumita clinch DIMAPUR: Club Viswema (TCV) hold its 34th annual junior TT titles would session on January 28 at VADODARA, JAN 11 (IANS): Paddlers Manav Thakkar, Archana Kamath and Moumita Datta emerged champions in their respective categories in the 78th junior and youth national championships.

Manav beat Delhi’s Parth Virmani 4-0 to win the youth boys singles title while Archana and Moumita won the junior girls singles title and youth girls trophy respectively. Parth was no match for a rampaging Manav, who unleashed attacking strokes, varying his services cleverly to push Parth on the back foot and win 11-8, 11-9, 11-7, 11-3.

In the youth boys final, it was a tough ask for Manav when he had to return to the table after the junior boys final. Facing PSPB teammate, Abhishek Yadav, who showed his true form in the semi-final against Birdie Boro, also of PSPB, Manav made his intent loud and clear. In the junior girls singles final, Archana did not waste any time to outsmart an in-form Moumita of West Bengal to claim her maiden crown by winning 4-0. It must have been disappointing for Moumita, who reached three finals here, to bow out in the fashion she did against Archana.

Except for the second game which Archana won with a difference of three points. However, the West Bengal girl ensured she returned home with at least the youth girls trophy in her kitty when she beat Tamil Nadu’s Harshavardhini Ravichandran 4-0.

KOLKATA, JAN 11 (PTI): The Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) will felicitate MS Dhoni, who recently relinquished India’s captaincy in the limited overs format, during the third ODI against England at the Eden Gardens on 22 January.

The CAB however has put off their plans to organise the Jagmohan Dalmiya Memorial lecture with the board going through a turbulent times because of the Lodha Committee reforms.

“Dhoni will be felicitated in a fitting manner and we are planning to have it done by celebrated former India skipper Sunil Gavaskar. However we are yet to finalise the details,” according to a CAB official. India’s most successful skipper Dhoni was seen as captain one last time when he led India A to 304/5 with his vintage knock of 68 not out from 40 balls in a warmup One-day fixture against the touring England, who will play three ODIs and three T20Is in the upcoming series.

The visitors, however, rode on Sam Billings’ wellconstructed 93 to pull off a three-wicket victory, to taste some success after a tormenting Test series, which they lost 0-4.

The Eden ODI being the last in the series, there will also be elaborate fireworks after the match, he said. Dhoni’s post as the limited-overs captain will be taken over by Virat Kohli, who effectively now becomes the Indian leader in all three formats.

WASA sports meet underway

Players during the inaugural function of WASA sports meet at WAPO ground, Sechü Zubza on Wednesday.

Correspondent

Kohima, JAN 11 (NPN): Western Angami Sports Association (WASA) games and athletics meet got underway at WAPO ground, Sechü Zubza with MLA Zhaleo Rio as the chief guest on Wednesday.

Over 200 sportspersons from the villages under Western Angami region are taking part in the three-day event which would conclude on January 13. Zhaleo in his address advised the sportspersons to not merely participate in games and sports, but urged them to take part with commitment having the determination to reach the top. “In our context, many sportspersons tends to have a ‘very casual approach’ to the annual games and sports activities/ tournaments organized at the village or range level, he added. It is time we should

do away with this casual attitude,” he said making his observation known that many players only practice during sports event.

“To achieve at the top level of competition, you need to be fit keep and training yourself all the time,” Zhaleo said mentioning that there is no substitute to hard work and dedication. Stating that aspiring sportspersons should start training from a very young age, he also underlined the need for guidance and counselling in order to identify and mould them. “We have to catch them (players) young, it is the responsibility of the youth leaders and sports organisations to identify talents at young age and mould them to the fullest and there should not be any space for lackadaisical attitude or approach,” he added.

Though mentioning

a bo ut the po o r spo r ts infrastructure in the State, he observed that our inability to achieve at higher level could be because of our half-hearted approach in anything we do.

He also underscored the need for preserving our rich tradition and culture, which he said is our identity.

“We are in the 21st century.

No doubt we have to import the western culture which comes to our advantage, but that does not mean we have to ignore our culture and traditions” he said cautioning that we will be left unrecognized before the world if we lose our identity.

The inaugural function, chaired by WASA general s e c r e t a r y Z h a s a S i r i e, commenced with invocation prayer pronounced by, pastor, Sechü Zubza Baptist Church Khriengulie Kuotsu. WASA president Kobou Mezhünyü

the Middle East and USA.” It is a nine-hour flight from Manila to Brisbane.

Pacquiao, 596-2, captured the WBO welterweight title for the third time against Jessie Vargas in November.

He earned a reported $100 million while losing to Floyd Mayweather in the richest fight ever in 2013.

Horn (16-0-1) is a 28-year-old former schoolteacher who fought at the 2012 London Olympic Games. He is No. 2 in the WBO’s welterweight rankings. Pacquiao is the WBO champion in that division while also juggling a career as a senator in the Philippines.

“I feel in his last few fights I’ve seen some weaknesses that he has and I just think I can get those,” Horn said. “I can beat him because I can see those weaknesses, I know Glen (trainer Rushton) can see those weaknesses.”

Rushton said it would be a “tragedy” if the fight happened anywhere other than Brisbane.

B R I S BA N E , JA N 1 1 (AP): Manny Pacquiao will add another fight to his long career resume when he takes on Australian welterweight Jeff Horn on April 23 at a venue to be decided.

Promoter Duco Events said Wednesday the location for the fight involving the 38-year-old Pacquiao could be in one of Australia’s major cities, possibly Horn’s hometown of Brisbane, or the Middle East or United States.

“The preference for all parties is for the fight to be held in Australia, and we are working towards this outcome,” said Duco

director Dean Lonergan, who met with Top Rank chief Bob Arum this week to set up the fight.

Arum said he wants the fight to take place at an outdoor stadium, and it would be beamed into 159 different countries, including the U.S., where it would be shown in a primetime Saturday night time slot on free-to-air TV. “I would expect 3 to 4,000 Filipinos to fly from the Philippines for this fight down under,” Arum said.

“It will be the biggest fight in Australian history but, until the money is secured, we have to keep our options open, including looking at

Man United’s Schneiderlin close to Everton switch

Kohli, Warner chase topranked ODI batsman De Villiers

MANCHESTER, JAN 11 (IANS): Manchester United head coach Jose Mourinho has confirmed that French midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin might move to Everton, with the latter reportedly willing to splurge around $25 million.

“I can’t give details but before the match, I was told by (club’s executive vicechairman Ed) Woodward that the situation is close.

Morgan is more than probably going to Everton,” Mourinho was quoted as saying by Sky Sports after the 2-0 win over Hull in the English Football League (EFL) Cup on Tuesday.

“I’m sad and I’m happy.

I’m sad because I like him. I am happy because this is what he wants. He wants to play and be an important player in a team. He is a very good professional,” the Portuguese tactician added. Schneiderlin has struggled to cement his place in the side after moving to Manchester from league rivals Southampton in 2015 for 24 million pounds.

Virat Kohli

David Warner

DUBAI, JAN 11 (IANS): India’s Virat Kohli, currently second in the International Cricket Council (ICC) Oneday International (ODI) rankings, will have his eyes on the top spot, currently held by South African AB de Villiers, when he starts the three-match rubber against England, starting January 15.

The Delhi batsman, who will start his first series as full-time India skipper succeeding Mahendra Singh Dhoni, trails de Villiers by 13 points. Kohli, on the other hand, will be chased by swashbuckling Australian opener David Warner, who sits at No.3

and narrowly trails the India star by just two points.

In the team rankings, third-placed India will have an opportunity to narrow the gap with second-ranked South Africa, when the men-in-blue takes on fifthranked England. Australia leads the team rankings.

With 111 points in their kitty, India can rise up to 114 points and trail the Proteas by just two points in case they manage to whitewash Eoin Morgan’s side.

However, if England manages a clean sweep of India, they can move up to the fourth and push Kohli’s boys to the fifth spot.

delivered the welcome address, while a special song was presented by the youth department of Sechü Zubza Catholic Church.

WASA games & athletics secretary, Khriesakuolie Khawakhrie administered oath to players.

The teams would be competing in athletic events and games including football, volleyball, sepaktakraw, badminton and table tennis.

The selected players would represent WASA at the forthcoming Angami Sports Association meet in the month of February.
