Parl washed out again over demonetisation NEW DELHI, NOV 21 (AGENCIES): Parliament was disrupted yet again today with the Opposition changing tack in Rajya Sabha demanding adoption of a condolence resolution for those who have died in queues in banks postdemonetisation and pressing for a discussion under a rule that entails voting. A united Opposition gave a new dimension in the Upper House by asserting that no discussion on demonetisation would take place till the House adopts a resolution mourning the death of nearly 70 people said to have been caused by hardships after the junking of the highdenomination notes. The Lok Sabha could not function for the third straight working day as opposition parties insisted on taking up of an Adjournment Motion on demonetisation and a debate under a rule that entails voting. T h e R a j ya S a b h a , which saw a day-long inconclusive debate on demonetisation on the opening day of the Winter session on November 16, has failed to transact any business since

D I M A P U R , N OV 2 1 (NPN): State government on Monday said reports were still being received from various agencies informing of deposits of large amounts into the bank accounts of tribals despite the advisory issued by the finance department on November 18, 2016.

then as the Opposition has been pressing for the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his response to the debate. Among those pressing for the condolence resolution were Congress, BSP, TMC and CPI(M). Leader of the House and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley accused the Opposition of running away from the demonetisation debate. “Merits and demerits will come out in a debate... Why are they (opposition parties) running away from debate? This is clear now that the opposition is not ready for debate and is coming up with new excuses to

disrupt the House,” he said. Stating that the notice for suspension of business under Rule 267 was accepted on the first day of the winter session and a debate had started, Jaitley said the reported deaths could come up during the course of this debate and the reply to it. The House was adjourned repeatedly even as the government side, including Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, continued to question the opposition’s behaviour. Due to the uproar, the House was adjourned repeatedly and the finally for the day at around 2 p.m.

NMA leaders slam anti-reservationists

D I M A P U R , N OV 2 1 (NPN): NMA president Abeiu Meru and advisor Dr. Rosemary Dzuvichu, reiterated that Article 371A under the constitution of India, provided guarantee by which no Act of Parliament can override “social practices” of Nagas unless the Nagaland Legislative Assembly reaffirms such an Act. Responding to the series of press statements from various tribal hohos and others over the issue of holding polls with 33% women reservation in Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) vis-à-vis Article 371A and also bypassing the NLA resolution in 2012; the two women leaders maintained that women not being second to men in Naga society was an irrefutable part of Naga customary law.

They said “many Naga leaders” who commented on women reservation appeared to be “in total oblivion” on gender equality in Naga customary law which means translation of opportunities for both men and women in sharing on a 50:50 basis. Thus, they said if political leaders and tribal hohos deny “this equitable share” they would be “committing irreparable injury, not only to Naga customs, but the very letter and spirit of Article 371A(1)(a). Despite “this inviolable Naga custom of gender equality” the two said women have not been able to occupy even a small space leave aside equal space in electoral politics(civic bodies, assembly or parliament).

Sumi Hoho backs CNTC stand on women quota DIMAPUR, NOV 21 (NPN): Sumi Hoho has fully endorsed the stand taken earlier by Central Nagaland Tribes Council(CNTC) on 33% women reservation and also has no objection to the move to empower women with voting rights. Sumi Hoho president Toniho Yepthomi and general secretary Vihuto Asumi in a joint statement, said the Hoho was constrained to declare its stand over the issue in view of views and opinions that had been written and expressed by various tribal bodies and individuals over Nagaland Municipal Act 2001. SH said that women were at par with men and those who were competent and desirous, could contest from anywhere if they wished to and hold any position as men did. SH said taxation on land and buildings was a serious issue and unacceptable. The Hoho pointed out that in Nagaland, land holding system was entirely different from the rest of the country as land was owned either by an individual or community. Therefore, imposing taxation on lands and buildings was a direct infringement on Article 371A. In the light of the above, SH asserted that such provision of taxation in the Municipal Act should be totally deleted and never raised even in future.

DIMAPUR, NOV 21 (NPN): Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) has said that the 5-point bizarre whip issued by the chief whip of the NPF to its members ahead of the NLA session was “unprecedented and unparalleled in the annals of Indian parliamentary democracy”. Media cell, NPCC said that NPF has taken a leaf out of fascist principle of glorifying a leader and assigning dictatorial power when it was unable to stem the chorus of censure against the DAN government by the head of the state, NPF ally BJP and the people at large. NPCC said the growth of fascist tendency has shocked the entire stake-

holder of the state across political spectrum. In normal circumstances, it said a whip is issued by all political parties to its elected members in accordance with parliamentary practices and procedure before each session of parliament and state assembly. However, the whip issued by the NPF chief whip smack of a threat by a dictator to its subjects to fall in line or face the consequences, NPCC stated. It pointed out that the first point-whip itself was “an indication of a diktat of the worst kind sternly warning NPF MLAs that absence during voting to be considered as violations of the directives”. In other words, NPCC said it was “a veil threat to the NPF

MLAs that absence at the time of voting will face disqualification”. NPCC said TR Zeliang appeared to have been gripped by fear psychosis, notwithstanding the feat of stitching an “opposition mukh” government. “The lack of congress MLAs has failed to ease his predicament, and presence of overcrowded NPF MLAs has taken a toll on him and suddenly chose to browbeat its own MLAs, by issuing a whip to stem expose his wrongdoing,” NPCC said. However, NPCC said the presence of a lone Independent MLA in NLA has made “TR Zeliang nervous, paranoid and ostensibly sending shivers (Cont’d on p-5)

Naga Hoho says Ozukum to remain as president D I M A P U R , N OV 2 1 (NPN): Defying Ao Senden Federal Assembly’s notice asking its representative P. Chuba Ozukum to step down as Naga Hoho president, the hoho rather “resolved not to allow” Ozukum relinquish his post. Informing this in a press note, NH general secretary Mutsikhoyu Yhobu said the decision to this effect was taken during the

NH presidential council meeting along with the empowered committee on goodwill mission held at Hotel Japfü, Kohima on November 21. Among the few blazing issues, the meeting seriously deliberated on the notification served by Ao Senden, Yhobu said. In this regard, he said the hoho “resolutely resolved that it shall always safeguard the sanctity of

Naga Hoho as enshrined in the constitution”. Yhobu said Ozukum sought the advice/guidance from the presidential council on whether he should resign. However, he said the house “collectively endorsed that P. Chuba Ozukum’s departure from hoho does not arise at this juncture as it would prove to be detrimental to the interest of the Nagas in general”.

Citing technical reasons, Yhobu said the members reiterated the process of the election/ nomination/selection of the president or other office bearers of Naga Hoho, governed by well established rules and procedures of the hoho. It reminded that candidates for any post are being elected to serve the Naga people as a whole.

W’shop on zero waste held in Kma

Kushboo Sharma speaking during workshop on ‘Zero waste’ at Kohima on Monday. Correspondent

KOHIMA, NOV 21 (NPN): With the aim to maintain zero waste and take up huge challenge of waste management, Youth Action for Rural Development (YARD) organised a workshop on ‘ZEROing our Wastes’ supported by department of Tourism held at LCS conference hall Kohima on Monday. The resource persons were Zero Waste coordinator (SD), Gangtok, Sikkim, Khushboo Sharma; Gyatsola Bhutia and Yangchen Bhutia volunteers of Zero Waste Himalaya. Giving an introduction of the workshop Ella Mary, YARD said “in most local dailies, we see people (noble souls) cleaning the garbage created by another and another. How long can

we keep cleaning the wastes generated by mindless people’s activities?”. Landfills are neither the solution nor does it have the capacity and technology to function as desired, said Ella and pointed out that there were ways in which each and every citizen including tourists could help in reducing wastes generation. She said the concept of ‘Zero Waste’ comes to focus with the practice of ‘create no wastes’. She further said that Zero Waste Mantra focuses on “Reduce – Reuse – Recycle – Refuse” for non-biodegradable and biodegradable items. Speaking on the theme ‘Zero wastes’ Khushboo Sharma said zero waste was not about producing or consuming nothing but about carefully and intentionally designing,

producing and consuming without waste as an end product. Stating her concern on the huge pile of wastes, Sharma has recommended for a zero waste lifestyle by adoption of consuming less and throw less, cautioning that if the current trend continues by 2050 there will be need of three planets to sustain our ways of living and consumption. KMC Superintendent, Zakiekhotuo Kiso through a power point explained in detail some of the waste management works undertaken by KMC as re-cycling unit at Lerie landfill, water re-furbishing at Jotsoma water reservoir, septage management plan at Dzuruzou, AMRUT, a national flagship programme etc, some of which are an undergoing projects. Some of the new projects and schemes under initiation by KMC include Common Bio-Medical Waste Treatment & Disposal Facilities (CBMWTDF), wherein he said the Detail Project Report (DPR) prepared by NPCB is under submission in MoEF & CC through CPCB, and Crematorium with the DPR under preparation. Highlighting some of the

problems and difficulties faced by KMC on solid waste management, Kiso said it had only eight garbage trucks for the whole city of Kohima which were as old as 15-18 years, unregulated timings of disposing waste by citizens and also lack of basic waste management among the general populace. However, he was optimistic that with active and continuous support and participation of individuals, NGOs and other agencies, waste management will be improved to the SWM standard by 2020. The programme saw the attendance of church leaders, student leaders, Kohima Municipal Council among others. It may be mentioned that Kohima, the capital city of Nagaland with about 1 lakh population is generating about 65-70 metric tonnes of waste daily (60-70% of dry waste). Presently, the only solution to wastes management is to create, collect and dump, with the challenge of managing wastes left mostly to ‘collect and throw/dump’ in and around the area for the Municipal to collect for dumping.

IMPHAL, Nov 21: An Imphal-bound loaded truck was Monday torched by suspected economic blockade supporters at Tadubi area of Manipur’s Senapati district along the ImphalMao section of NH-2. Four other Imphalbound loaded trucks were also reportedly detained by the suspects after torching the first one. Police as well as local reports said that the chicken feed laden truck (MN01-0444) was set afire Monday morning, around 4 am. Explosion of some LPG refill cylinders which were found in the truck not only alarmed the people nearby but also fueled the burning fire that led to an extensive damage to the vehicle. The ill-fated truck was reportedly heading towards Imphal along with four other trucks loaded with vegetables like cabbage and edible oils. The whereabouts of the driver and co-driver of the truck, who ran away while the suspects set afire the vehicle, remained untraceable till the time of filing this report. The burning of the truck came up on day 21 of the indefinite economic blockade being imposed on the national highways in Manipur since November 1 by the UNC. The UNC is imposing the blockade pressing the state government to clarify its stand on the creation of Sadar Hills and Jiribam as full-fledged revenue districts of the state by bi-fur-

cating Senapati and Imphal East district respectively. The torching of the Imphal-bound loaded truck was a day after suspected blockade supporters attacked loaded trucks heading Imphal along the NH37 with security escorts. Altogether 284 loaded vehicles including tankers reached Imphal late last night along Imphal-Jiribam highway. In a bid to disturb the normal pace of the goods laden trucks with security convoy boulders were pushed down from the hill tops while crossing the Nung Dolan stretch of the

highway in Tamenglong district. Some truckers sustained minor injuries in the attack besides damaging trucks/tankers. The security escorts retaliated by opening fire in the air. Despite the impedance, the convoy moved further and reached Imphal late in the evening The convoy included 31 tankers loaded with petrol, 53 tankers loaded with diesel, 59 tankers loaded with LPG, one tanker loaded with ATF, one tanker loaded with SK Oil and 138 trucks transporting different FCI commodities.

Arunachal CM launches ‘Jeevan Pramaan’ sensitisation pgm

Itanagar, Nov 21 (PTI): Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu today launched the ‘Jeevan Pramaan’ sensitization programme in presence of the Chief Secretary, Principal Secretary and Secretaries and officers of Information Technology & Communications and Audit & Pensions. Pensioners post their retirement, have to provide life certificates to the authorised pension disbursing agencies like the bank, following which their pension got credited to their account, an official communiqué informed. For obtaining a life certificate, a proof that he or she is alive, a pensioner earlier needed to be physically present before the Pension Disbursing Agency or had the life certificate issued by authority where they served and had it delivered to the disbursing agency. The procedure caused lot of hardship and unnecessary inconvenience particularly for the aged and infirm pensioners. Besides, a lot of government employees post their retirement choose to move to

different locations either to be with their family or other reasons, hence causing a huge logistical issue when it comes to accessing their rightful pension amount. Digital Life Certificate - External website that opens in a new window for Pensioners scheme known as ‘Jeevan Pramaan’ seeks to ease this very problem by digitizing the whole process of securing the life certificate. With this initiative the pensioners requirement to physically present himself or herself in front of disbursing agency or the certification authority will become a thing of the past benefiting the pensioners in a huge way and cutting down on unnecessary logistical hurdles as it uses the Aadhaar platform for biometric authentication of the pensioner. Khandu appreciated the Centre initiative and termed it as a huge boon to the aged pensioners of the state government. Incidentally, the number of state government pensioners at present is about 26000 and only about 5000 still reside in Arunachal Pradesh.

IMPHAL, Nov 21: Manipur Governor Dr Najma Heptullah Monday opened the 10 days long Manipur Sangai Festival at Palace Compound in the presence of ambassador of Japan to India Kenji Hiramatsu and chief minister of Chin state of Myanmar, U Salai Luai among the foreign delegates. Manipur chief minister O Ibobi and deputy chief minister Gaikhangam were also present at the inaugural function of this year’s edition of the festival basically organized to attract tourists by showcasing the rich culture and tradition of the state. Unlike last year, this year’s Sangai Festival witnessed less popularity with less publicity by the concern department. The demonetization of the Rs 500 and Rs 1000 denominations and ongoing economic blockade that hit the people hard is also likely to affect the festival as people seem to be more concerned with exchange of their money and scarcity of essential commodities, particularly petrol. Security has been beefed up in and around Palace Compound, the main venue of the festival. The delegation from Myanmar headed by the chief minister of Chin state, who arrived in Imphal on Sunday, also included seven ministers. They reached Imphal by surface road passing to Moreh, the border town of Manipur at Myanmar border. Another 17-member business delegation from the neighbouring country also arrived in Imphal by a Golden Myanmar flight.

Ex-Meghalaya min files FIR over cash distribution rumours Correspondent

Shillong, Nov 21: Former Meghalaya Health and Family Welfare Minister, Alexander Hek on Monday filed an FIR against unknown people who allegedly spread rumour that he is distributing money to people from in and outside his constituency. In an FIR submitted to Superintendent of Police for East Khasi Hills district, Mariahom Kharkrang, the sitting Congress legislator informed that some unknown people have spread rumour that he is distributing Rs 5000 to each person not only from his Pynthorumkhrah assembly constituency but also to

people from outside his constituency.

He said this is a completely fraudulent act of some party to tarnish my image in public.”

Itanagar, Nov 21 (Agencies): Union minister of state for Home affairs Kiren Rijiju has said that financial grants from centre could not be utilized properly in Arunachal due to political crisis in the past two years and stressed on proper submission of utilization certificates (UC) in order to get more budgetary grants from New Delhi.

PRESS NOTE

With regard to the government decision to hold municipal and town council elections with 33% women reservation, the Medziphema village council hereby reiterates its earlier resolution to ban the said election at Medziphema Town unless women reservation clause is done away with. It is of the view that the said reservation of women is alien to our culture, customs and practices which is protected under the constitution of India. According to the nature of the protective article, no act of parliament can be enforced in the state of Nagaland in matters of customary laws, religion and social practices. It therefore, fails to understand why the government of the day is hell bend to dilute the provisions of Article 371 (A) to our disadvantage which is a political decision arrived at by a political agreement. If women reservation is enforced today, it will have far-reaching adverse impact on the special privileges guaranteed under Article 371 (A) and that it would not augur well for the Nagas as a whole. Precedents would be created and that all other characteristics guaranteed under Article 371 (A) could be easily manipulated rendering our special status to naught. Whereas, the council is not against women contesting elections in any ward provided it is not on the basis of reservation. But, in the interest of the future generation, the Medziphema Village Council shall strongly oppose the conduct of town council election with women reservation in force under its jurisdiction.

Search for victims of train derailment

Rescuers work in progress at the site of accident where Patna-Indore Express train derailed near Pukhrayan village in Kanpur Dehat district, on Monday. (PTI)

PUKHRAYAN, NOV 21 (PTI): Distraught relatives of people on board the illfated Indore-Patna Express who have still not been united with their family, searched frantically for their loved ones today, a day after the worst rail accident in recent years jolted them unaware. While some managed to know the fate of their kin, whether they survived or were killed in the derailment of the train 19321 in the wee hours in Kanpur-Rural, for many others it has been a painstaking effort filled with apprehension. “Whoever I have found is dead... my brother, my older sister-in-law, daughter... I haven’t found my mother yet. I fear I will find her in same condition,” said Nirmal Verma, who had earlier planned to travel with his family for a wedding, but did not get leave from work and was supposed to join them later. “I am looking for my brother.

RBI riders for Rs 2.5L withdrawal for weddings NEW DELHI, NOV 21 (PTI): Wedding card, copies of advance payments made for booking marriage hall and caterers will be required for withdrawing Rs 2.5 lakh from own accounts, as per stringent conditions imposed by RBI. RBI today issued detailed operating guidelines for banks for dealing with such requests. Withdrawals will be allowed only from balance available before November 8 decision of the government to demonetise 500 and 1,000 currency notes and the same can be done only for marriages solemnised on or before December 30. Banks have also been asked to keep records of all disbursals and drawers will have to submit a list persons to whom payments will be made out of the funds. The special dispensation was given to ease the cash crunch faced during the ongoing wedding season due to imposition of cash withdrawal restrictions on all bank accounts in the aftermath of the demonetisation decision. Restrictions were placed as banks are grappling with cash shortage. “Withdrawals can be made by either of the parents or the person getting married. (Only one of them will be permitted to withdraw),” the notification said. Further, there should be “a detailed list of persons to whom the cash withdrawn is proposed to be paid, together with a declaration from such persons that they do not have a bank account. The list should indicate the purpose for which the proposed payments are being made”. RBI also said banks should encourage families to incur wedding expenses through non-cash means through cheques or drafts, credit or debit cards, pre-paid cards, mobile transfers, Internet banking channels, NEFT/ RTGS and the like.

Who knows? He may have changed his seat... we have searched everywhere...” said Ramanand Tiwari. One of the survivors said, “Don’t have any news about my brother. We have searched all the hospitals. I fear that he is trapped.” Rescue workers wrapped up the efforts to pull out the trapped passengers from the mangled bogies after an overnight operation under the floodlights including using cold cutters to open up the compartments. Bodies from among the 143 dead have been sent to Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and UP while the over 200 injured have been admitted to various hospitals in Kanpur-Rural. Some of them are yet to unite with their family members. A man, whose two sisters were on the train, left from his hometown yesterday soon after the news of the tragedy to reach the accident site, only to find one of them dead and the

other missing. “No one has any information about her (the second sister),” he said, after having spent the night frantically looking for his sister in the hospitals and asking officials around. Survivors had horrid tales to share. While one recounted how the derailment “sounded like beating of drums”, another just recalled a “loud bang” just after 0300 hours when most of the passengers were jolted out of their sleep. “We saw that bogies were on top of one another,” said a man, who sustained minor injuries. Another said, “We somehow survived as the bogie ahead of us reduced the damage. Two bogies had turned turtle... we cannot say how that happened.” For yet another survivor, the ordeal was more of a “nightmare” as he waited for hours among dead bodies in his mangled coach to be pulled out by the rescue workers who cut open the bogie.

Himato advised the construction companies to speed up their earth cutting works before the next monsoon else it will be a problem for the people. When asked whether they had sublet works to any other parties, NHIDCL manager Rishinandan said no work was sublet, adding that he was in-charge of monitoring the entire works of four lane works of Dimapur-Kohima National Highway. Concerning sinking area in various locations along Kohima-Dimapur highway, the officials informed that an expertise team from Chennai and Assam University would be arriving soon to take stock of the situation and said precautionary measures would be taken. Two construction companies M/s Ramky-ECI (JV) and M/s Gyatri are carrying out works in three sectors of the DimapurKohima NH. The company officials briefed the minister and his tem that national

highway traffic would not be disturbed and assured to maintain well before the start of the Hornbill festival. The companies would be maintaining the existing road during the construction. They would also maintain the four-lane road for four years after completion. M/s Ramky –ECI (JV) is carrying out construction works in two sectors -- one from km 123.840 to Km 138.775 (road length of 14.93 km) at an estimated cost of Rs 387 core while the other from Km 138.775 to Km 152.49 (road length of 13.72 km) at an estimated cost of Rs 339.55 crore. M/s Ramky ECI (JV) project manager G.V.P Rao said 50 % of the earth cutting will be completed before next monsoon. M/s Gyatri is carrying out work from Km 152.49 to Km 166.700 (road length 14.21 km) at an estimated cost of Rs 340 crore. M/s Gyatri project manager A.

Parrikar commissions INS Chennai MUMBAI, NOV 21 (PTI): Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar on Monday commissioned ‘INS Chennai’, the third indigenously designed guided missile destroyer in the Kolkata class in Mumbai. Built at the Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Ltd in Mumbai, the ship’s construction also marks the end of the Project 15A to build Kolkata-class guided missile destroyers.

down his spine and making Zeliang gravitate towards fascism and issue a draconian whip which was unheard of before”. NPCC said “the most comical and the weirdest of the 12th Session of the NLA is the directive given by the chief whip wherein TR Zeliang, the leader of the house will give indication– nay wink at all NPF MLAs, whether the statement made by independent MLA is favorable or inimical to the government”. Such directive has implied that the ruling NPF MLAs were incapable of ascertaining what is favorable and what is inimical, it said. Warning legislators not to issue any “statement or criticize, which would cause embarrassment or lose of face of NPF or DAN government” during the NLA session, was the final

nail in the coffin of NPF MLAs, NPCC stated. As criticism and dissent was an integral to parliamentary democracy, NPCC said no government can avoid or escape this reality. However, TR Zeliang has made desperate attempt to bring all criticism and disagreement within the ambit of 10th scheduled, which entails disqualification of a member from the House, NPCC pointed out. Terming it as outrageous, condemnable and contrary to the responsibility bestowed upon elected representative and parliamentary procedures and practices prevalent in India, NPCC said the manner in which a party treats an elected representative was downright insult to the people of the constituency he represents. This is a pointer to the fact that all is not well with TR Zeliang’s dispensation,

an indication that there is still something more to hide and further exposing his culpability, while trying to cover up his wrongdoings, added NPCC. While making it known that Congress was not trying to poke its nose in the internal matters of NPF, NPCC however said the manner in which a whip was issued in the form of a threat would only demean the elected representative regardless of party affiliation. The muzzling and stifling of freedom of expression on the floor of house, an article of faith for all elected members, would only retard the growth of democratic ethos in a state like Nagaland, where electoral outcome is based on muscles, money, threat, intimidation and diktat of armed groups and village authorities in equal measures, the party said.

Pak violates ceasefire: BSF jawan killed

JAMMU, NOV 21 (PTI): Pakistan Army today targeted Indian posts in Krishna Ghati sector of Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir even as a BSF head constable injured in cross-border firing succumbed to injuries. The army and the BSF responded to Pakistan’s ceasefire violation and the exchange of fire was going on till last reports came in. “Pakistan Army initiated ceasefire violation from 0830 hours by targeting Indian Army posts along the LoC in Krishna Ghati sector. The Indian Army posts are responding strongly and the firing is presently on”, a defense spokesman said. In the past 12 hours, Pakistan has violated the ceasefire along the Line of

Unsafe rail travel

t was a very tragic accident which took the lives of around 150 passengers and causing injuries to more than 200 others, when the Indore-Patna Express derailed in Kanpur district in UP on November 21,2016. The derailment is one among too many in the recent past and has only renewed focus on the worrisome safety norms of the Indian Railways. Indian railways have a dismal safety record. There is a need to develop safer designs for our trains and railway platforms. The aim must be to make our journey more safe than comfortable. Funds are required to realise this aim. Given the sheer size of Indian railways, the re-designing will take both time and money. But the pertinent question is-whether the railways gives enough serious priority to safety? It seems that it does not and that is very unfortunate. According to reports, in the sixyear period between 2009-10 and 2014-15, there were a total of 803 accidents in Indian Railways killing 620 people and injuring 1855 people. The stated that 47% of these accidents were due to derailment of trains. The other type of accidents include collisions, etc but such occurrence is said to be much lower. There have been various causes for train accidents ranging from Human Failure to Equipment Failure to Sabotage etc. In the same six-year period, human failure has caused more than 86% of the total accidents. Out of this, 41% accidents were caused due to the failure of railway staff and the rest due to the failure of others. Equipment failure caused only 2.2% of the accidents. The safety issue has been discussed on so many occasions with various submissions done by fact finding committees. As per the reports, the highest number of accidents are caused due to derailments or accidents at level crossings. Nine (9) out of Ten (10) railway accidents during 2009-10 and 2014-15 have been due to derailments and accidents at level crossings. Railway tracks have become one of the biggest killers in India. Over 50,000 people have been mowed down on the deadly tracks in over three years - from 2009 to June 2012 - for which figures are available. The trains of the Indian Railways are clocking more passenger kilometers each year. Train accidents per million kilometers run is an important parameter to understand the occurrence of accidents and if there has been any improvement over the years. This parameter has continuously decreased from 2009-10 to 2013-14. It again increased in 2014-15. From 0.17 in 2009-10, it has come to down to 0.10 in 2013-14, a reduction of over 40% in 5 years. But it again increased to 0.11 in 2014-15. According to the notification issued by the Ministry of Railways, Government of India in 2015 on the PIB website and recent reports in newspapers, the railways seem to be taking a lot of interest in beautification. The newly designed bio-toilets installed in coaches are notable as it ensures that no human excreta will henceforth fall on railway tracks. This is most welcome as passengers also don’t have to worry about using toilets when the train is at the railway platform. Beautification and providing facilities are welcome but what is more important is safety issues. Also getting a bullet train from Japan at huge cost is great news too but these cannot substitute safety and what it takes to prevent accidents to safeguard the lives of travelling passengers.

DailyDevotion “It is Finished!” I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. —John 17:4 The death of Jesus Christ is the fulfillment in history of the very mind and intent of God. There is no place for seeing Jesus Christ as a martyr. His death was not something that happened to Him— something that might have been prevented. His death was the very reason He came. Never build your case for forgiveness on the idea that God is our Father and He will forgive us because He loves us. That contradicts the revealed truth of God in Jesus Christ. It makes the Cross unnecessary, and the redemption “much ado about nothing.” God forgives sin only because of the death of Christ. God could forgive people in no other way than by the death of His Son, and Jesus is exalted as Savior because of His death. “We see Jesus…for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor…” (Hebrews 2:9). The greatest note of triumph ever sounded in the ears of a startled universe was that sounded on the Cross of Christ— “It is finished!” (John 19:30). That is the final word in the redemption of humankind. Anything that lessens or completely obliterates the holiness of God, through a false view of His love, contradicts the truth of God as revealed by Jesus Christ. Never allow yourself to believe that Jesus Christ stands with us, and against God, out of pity and compassion, or that He became a curse for us out of sympathy for us. Jesus Christ became a curse for us by divine decree. Our part in realizing the tremendous meaning of His curse is the conviction of sin. Conviction is given to us as a gift of shame and repentance; it is the great mercy of God. Jesus Christ hates the sin in people, and Calvary is the measure of His hatred.

Post-mortem

Women in Naga society are not second to men 33% women reservation hangups

W

e the Naga people are sitting over a very controversial and complex issue of 33% Women Reservation which basically throws up two equally important fundamental subjects that we have no choice but to try and sensibly address: (1). The rights of women representation in Civic or any other Bodies in Naga society; and inter-related (2) Infringement of Article 371 (A). Let us carefully take a very dispassionate look at our circumstance one step at a time. Before plunging headlong into the subject proper, let me qualify the preceding analogy on the rights of women by saying: “Customs” and “Traditions” are the induced byproducts of prevalent social environment at a given point of time which culminates into a customary law by virtue of a prolonged adherence to its practice. 1. The rights of women representation in Civic or any other Bodies: Our ancestral Nagas have had a brutal proven track record of headhunting as a way of life. The prevalent environment of their times therefore necessarily dictated “physical prowess” as the mainstay of community survival in which women obviously had no place by virtue of they being the weaker sex. The Council of Elders, which in present parlance is called Village Council, was therefore an exclusive “men only” club dictated by circumstance not by choice because they would have had to mostly concentrate on core survival issues of defensive or offensive warfare linked to headhunting. Such a subject naturally eliminated the necessity of women’s participation. This continuous process induced by headhunting circumstance was being practiced for centuries with the absence of women in the Council of Elders which had ultimately crystallised into a customary practice by the time headhunting was halted by the British only in the earlier part of the 20th century. Women of headhunting era were physically out of tune with the core attributes of headhunting prerequisites and were therefore misfits of their time...here again by force of circumstance not by choice. That times have changed... everybody knows. Everybody knows we no longer headhunt. Everybody knows that the present day subject has dramatically shifted from headhunting to that of development and progress. Everybody knows that this critical change of subject now makes women relevant...but the irrationally staunch traditionalists are unwilling to cross this Mind Block Bridge. In order to unblock this mind-block road-block some harsh realities of our present day need to be taken into consideration. How do the traditionalists think about the abundant presence of women in Government Service especially in Civil Administrative Service because this is simply a higher version at the Government level basically handling identical responsibility as that of the present day Village Councils or the Council of Elders of the traditional past involved in general administration? From the strictest traditional standpoint, the presence of women in general administration would be in violation of the customary law. In the same breath the fact that many of the women administrative officers are holding their own turf satisfactorily therefore demolishes any assumption that they are customarily unfit for this line of work or should not be in general administration. This is our practical ground reality. Again, how do the traditionalists think about the mandatory presence of a women representative in the Village Development Board in every village legitimatised by governing Rules? The traditionalists have raised no objections against the presence of women in Government service in various capacities including an exceptional case of a woman Chief Secretary in Nagaland. Then what is their specific bellyache in women representation in the Municipal Council or the Legislative Assembly? The moment we begin to deploy double-standards in defining our customary laws our problems would get compounded endlessly. If concessions have already been made in some sectors, which we definitely have without doubt, hackling in another sector against the same identical issue does not make much sense. Besides, there are some customary laws that have become obsolete, many more have been diluted from the original and some not

even practiced at all. The critical flaw firstly lies in our customary laws not being codified and can be subjected to varied interpretations and secondly, the customary law management machinery does not have any specifically designated statutory authority to officially amend our customary laws that have become obsolete. This responsibility must now fall squarely on the Customary Courts or the Apex Tribal Hohos or even jointly, to activate the much needed amendment process within their respective Tribes by carefully assessing possible elimination of customary laws no longer in tune with the present times. No Law is perpetually sacrosanct and are subjected to change according to the changing times and values. That is precisely why Articles/Clauses in the Indian Constitution also get amended from time to time. Clearly defining the ‘rights of women’ in our society is one such controversial issue that requires customary review for appropriate amendment in some key areas in keeping with the changing time. Once this baseline is customarily taken care of, the apparent conflict with Article 371 (A) will automatically recede. 2. Infringement of Article 371 (A): Article 371 (A) is a bastard subject without an acknowledged father. It is theoretically ridiculed with venom when Naga National sentiments are expressed but defended with equal vehemence and used as a shield when genuine domestic problems need sorting out. The present women reservation debate is a classic example of this. The torch bearing stand-up-comedians happen to be some of our very own exalted leaders who conveniently condemn 16 Point Agreement that spawned A371A to keep Mr. Hebron happy, especially when it is nearing elections and at the very same time enjoy to the hilt the best of the benefits A371A has brought them. The Naga Haha is not very far behind as the ultimate joker of the pack. But today, protecting the sanctity of A371A has become the bone of contention. Watching them play this chameleon role with such panache is amazing. Were we in Hollywood, it would be acclaimed as an Academy Award winning performance. That is the Laurel and Hardy side of a burning topic. The real fire lies in messing with the essence of A371A. If we ourselves defile our own alter, expect others to do the same. The war has already begun with Petroleum Ministry, GoI disputing the very definition of A371A concerning the ‘below the ground’ ownership of our Oil/Gas and Natural Resources. The Government of Nagaland has compounded the problem by pouring ‘yet to be extracted’ Champang oil into this raging fire with its irrationally fictitious claim to land ownership, which unquestionably belongs to the people from the times of our ancestry even before a corrupt thing called Government came into existence, instead to sitting down with the real land owners and amicably sorting out the revenue sharing equation with maturity. Money is critically messing with our thinking box. We need to stop awhile and really think of the greater danger of undoing ourselves even before our adversaries do. Wilfully wanting to reduce our status to a second rate citizenship is downright demeaning and those initiating such a move are unfit for leadership. Coming back to the women issue, there can be no two opinions that without the amendment of our customary laws it will certainly infringe upon A371A. 3. SOLUTION: The midcourse opened to us seems to be in 33% reservation for women by nomination with voting rights as suggested by some of the Tribal Hoho representatives. This will temporarily circumvent the log jam until such time amendment of the customary law on this issue is effectively addressed... which it must within a stipulated timeframe. Meanwhile, our womenfolk would also get a breathing space to prove their worth in the scheme of things until they are able to stand on their own two feet...which they too eventually must within a foreseeable future timeframe that should also be defined. We cannot expect miracles to happen overnight. Reformation is a slow moving turtle...it takes time. Nagas must learn to negotiate our hills and mountains patiently. Khekiye K.

1. One of the important aspects of Constitutional guarantees under Article 371 A(1) (a)of the Constitution of India is that no Parliamentary Act on “social practices “of Nagas will apply to Nagaland ,unless the Nagaland Legislative Assembly decides to apply by a resolution. 2. That, Women are not second to men in Naga society is an irrefutable part of Naga Customary Law. Many Naga leaders while commenting upon women reservation in Municipal and Town Councils appear to be in total oblivion of this essential ingredient of gender equity in the Naga Customary Law ,for example if there is 100 % opportunity for both men and women to participate in any sector, according to this custom of gender equity ,Naga men and woman shall have to share the sector on 50/50 basis . If Political leaders and Tribal Hohos deny this equitable share they would be committing irreparable injury , not only to the Naga customs, but the very letter and spirit of Article 371 -A (1)(a). 3. So far, despite this inviolable Naga custom of gender equity, women have been unable to occupy a small space, leave aside, equal space in electoral politics, be it elections to the Municipal and town Councils , the Legislative Assembly or the Houses of the Parliament. Political parties in the State which vividly championed the cause of Article 371 A(1)(a) of the Constitution have not , in practice , sponsored equal number of women to contest elections to Municipal and Town Councils ,Legislative Assembly or the Parliament in accordance with this custom of gender equity. Thus, these political parties and their leaders , the Tribal Hohos and other civil societies, have only been paying lip service to Article 371 A (1)(a) and flagrantly denying women their due share in electoral politics under the garb of advocating customary law. On the other hand, they have only been contradicting the Naga Customary Law of gender equity and mutilating the age old custom of equality of sexes. 4. During all these many years of denial of women reservation in Municipal and Town Councils , the political leaders who had their heyday in the yesteryears were firing from the shoulders of other sections of society. Neither, these political leaders thought it prudent to consult the women groups starting from the village level to the apex bodies, nor encouraged the tribal Hohos and other organisations to include woman representatives, so that the voices of women was heard and their dues, duly reckoned. 5. Over these many years of undoing the Naga custom of gender equity,they did not give any opportunity to hear the women, who were the affected parties. All these years only the men spoke , the men’s voices were heard and the men decided against women reservation, all in the name of upholding the Naga custom of gender equity and Article 371A(1)(a). 6. Under the direction of the High Court which came down heavily upon the State Gover nment, the woman reservation provisions in the State Municipal Act was enacted in 2006. This happened,

because they were unable to explain to the High Court how under Article 371A)(1) (a), they could deny women reservation when the Naga custom is to provide gender equity . 7. In the name of law and order situation, the State Government under the former Chief Minister refused to effectuate the women reservation provision enacted under the High Court’s Order . Thus, the entire State Act was committed to the Article 371A(1)(a) Committee of the Assembly for a review to buy time. Without examining and explaining how the Naga Custom of gender equity is affected by women reservation , the Assembly Committee recommended to the State Government to stop the application of Part IX A (Municipalities ) of the Constitution of India to Nagaland . 8. Without hearing the women in Nagaland, the all men Assembly on 22.09.2012 passed a Resolution against Women Reservation in Municipal and Town Councils without explaining how “Social practice of Nagas ” were adversely affected by women reservation provisions in the Constitution of India. 9. All these past years , those Leaders who have been protesting against Women Reservation in the guise of Naga Customary Law being affected, did not consider their duty to explain to the people of the State how the Naga Customary Law remains unaffected by (1) St/Sc reservation, (2) the process of elections , unknown to the Nagas in their customary world (3) The administration of Municipal and Town Councils through Administrators for all these years, which is a serious breach of Naga Customary Law. The political leaders under whose nose, the battle against women and women reservation was being organised, owe answers to these questions to the Naga publicboth men and women. 10. Little did those Political masters realise that Nagaland was exempted from Part IX (Panchayats) of the Constitution, not because it was an Article 371 A (1)(a) State. No such reference is found neither in their statements of objects or reasons nor in the debates on the Constitution (73rd Amendment) Bill . The fact that Nagaland was exempted from Part IX of the Constitution was not because it is an Article 371 A(1) (a) State, but exempted because of the existence of a traditional village administration system at the grass root level, better than the village administration system prescribed by Part IX of the Constitution of India. Along with Nagaland for the same reason, Meghalaya and Mizoram were also exempted by Article 243(M) of the Constitution of India. Thus, the exemption of Nagaland , Meghalaya and Mizoram has nothing to do with Article 371 A, but due to the reason as aforesaid. 11. On the other hand, Nagaland, Meghalaya and Mizoram were not exempted from Municipalities portion of the Constitution of India Part IX(A), since, local self Governance in urban area was not a traditional system. Thus, the Constitution of India, prescribed uniform structure

for urban local bodies all over India including Nagaland and other North-East States. Under Article 243(P)(d)of the Constitution , the Governor demarcates Municipal areas .Thus, the ULB’s are the institutions of recent origin and are not connectable to traditions , customs etc. Likewise, it has never been a social practice of Nagas to have or not to have a Municipality or a Town council. It is thus, a constitutionally structured local self governance in urban areas. Part IX(A) of the Constitution by Article 243X, provides Nagaland powers to levy taxes. Thus, it is the State Assembly , which has to ensure that the principles of Article 371 A(1)(a) are satisfied, while enacting provisions in the State Act. Part IX(A) of the Constitution do not impinge upon any provision in Article 371(A)(1)(a), as the advocates of anti woman reservation make us believe. 12. We are of the considered view, that woman being more than equal in numbers in the size of the electorate at all levels in Naga society, do feel that 33% reservation only aims to translate to full fruition the very idea of gender equity under the Naga Customary Law and the Constitutional provision of Part IX(A) Municipalities of the Constitution of India and do not infringe upon the social practices of the Nagas . On the other hand , it give a fillip to the realisation of gender equity under the customs of Nagas into a workable reality , which has been missing for all these decades. 13. The articulation of the State Government , that 33% woman reservation issue militates against Article 371 A(1)(a) has no taker in the High Court and even in the Supreme Court . While the High Court admonished the State for not providing woman reservation consequent to which the State enacted the Woman reservation provisions in the State Act 2006, the Supreme Court stayed the operation of the High Court (Division Bench) order dated 31,07,2012, which wanted the State to examine the Act qua Naga Customs .With the stay imposed by the Supreme Court on 05.04.2016, even the veneer of woman reservation being further examined in the backdrop of Naga Customs by the State Government/Assembly got completely erased. There is thus, no more defence available to the State for denying women reservation on the ostensible pretext of protecting Naga Customs. 14. Those who publish their communiqués in the newspapers against women reservation must come out clearly whether they stand for women or against women, instead of training their guns against women on the shoulders of various Organisations . By this time, they should come to know that women’s representatives are found elsewhere and not in many Tribal Hohos. 15. We take this occasion to condemn the double speak of some leaders who first enacted women reservation in the state and made a U-turn for more than a decade ,depriving women of their rights as guaranteed under the Constitution.

He stated that the BJP government was committed to fight against corruption for which the demonetization of the Rs. 1000 and Rs. 500 currencies were done, which would lead to lesser corruption in the state of Nagaland as well as the whole of the North East. He also highlighted the

BJP government‘s ideology of “Sab ka saath Sab ka Vikas” whereby development and progress was possible only through a concerted effort of the citizens. He further congratulated the Wangala festival organizing committee for having kept the spirit and culture of the Garo tribe alive by organizing such an extravaganza. Earlier in the programme, invocation was offered by Believers Church, Darogapathar, Rev. Pele Marak. Other highlights included Garo folk song, cultural dances from Kuki, Karbi, Kachari and Garo cultural troupes and traditional games. Vote of thanks was delivered by general secretary (admin) NGTC, Probir D. Sangma in the first session and in the second session by games and sports secretary GSUNZ, Benjamin Sangma while benediction was offered by Eltish Sangma of Garo Baptist Church, Chumukedima.

Mumbai, Nov 21 (PTI): Singaporean brokerage DBS has warned of major downside risks to growth due to the demonetization exercise, and has estimated that the gross value added can come down by up to 0.80 per cent lower than its 7.6 per cent target. “There are downside risks to the tune of 0.400.80 per cent to our grossvalue added estimate of 7.6 per cent,” it said in a note today, nearly a fortnight after the government demonetised the Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 banknotes. This projection, however, is very meagre as many brokerages have already projected even a 50 per cent dip in GDP growth, with Ambit Capital being the steepest at 3.6 per cent. The brokerage said there will be an impact on consumer goods and discretionary spending for at least two quarters, which will impact growth till March 2017. Cash dependent businesses will be hit the most during this period and rural demand, especially from the unbanked sections, may also moderate, it added. It, however, said there will be some pent-up demand which can give an upside to growth starting the first quarter of the next fiscal.

panies (ARCs), which has been low at an average of 36 per cent and resolution taking about five years, as timely recovery remains key to long-term sustainability of ARCs. According to the study, “effective implementation of the code will help in preserving the value of asset and faster resolution, so that ARCs will be able to churn capital faster and enhance returns”. “It will also attract investments into the distressed assets space, open up new avenues for ARCs and help them participate in the huge market for NPAs.” Assocham further said this code will aid development of corporate bond market. “With greater certainty of outcome and faster resolutions expected because of the code, the interest of both domestic and foreign investors in lower-rated paper will increase over a period of time,” it said. “Strong bankruptcy code can strengthen creditor rights and can lead to deepening of bond markets.” Moreover, combined with other ongoing structural reforms, the code is expected to improve India’s Ease of Doing Business and Global Competitiveness rankings significantly. “With the implementation of the code, India’s position in World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business ranking will improve, attracting more foreign investors,” the study noted.

New Delhi, Nov 21 (IANS): Proper implementation of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 can potentially free about Rs 25,000 crore capital locked up as non-performing assets (NPAs), or bad loans, over the next four-five years, Assocham said on Monday. The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham) made the observation citing a study, “Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016: A Game Changer”, which it conducted jointly with rating agency Crisil. In a statement, it said: “If implemented successfully, the code will help India’s banking sector catch up with or even exceed the recovery rate of 32 per cent and average time taken of 2.8 years in other emerging markets.” The released capital can be deployed for other productive lending which, in turn, could help in credit expansion, the report said. The code will also help foster better credit discipline, it said. “The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has already tightened norms for wilful defaulters which, together with implementation of the code, will enhance recoveries from such borrowers and improve overall credit discipline,” the report said. Assocham also said that the legislation could improve recovery rate of asset reconstruction com-

The Reserve Bank of India has quashed all the rumours of fake Rs 10 coins in circulation, and has said that public can continue to accept coins of this denomination as legal tender without doubt or suspicion. “It has been reported that some less-informed or uninformed persons who suspect the genuineness of such coins are creating doubts in the minds of ordinary people including traders, shop-keepers, etc., impeding the circulation of these coins in certain pockets of the country causing avoidable confusion”, RBI said in a statement on Sunday. It added that, “As coins remain in circulation for longer periods, it is quite possible that coins of different designs and even shapes are circulating at the same time. One such change is introduction of ‘Rupee symbol’ in coins in July 2011. An instance of this is the ` 10 coins with rupee symbol and the same denomination coin without rupee symbol. Both of them are legal tender and equally good for transactions, though they may look a little different.” The Reserve Bank has come out with clarification as reports of fake Rs 10 coins in circulation were found in some sections of media. Some instances of common public refusing to accept these coins were also reported.

Besides, borrowers are unable to get payments from their creditors due to various restrictions including cash withdrawal limit of Rs 24,000 per week, limiting their options to repay their dues.

Mumbai, Nov 21 (PTI): In view of cash crunch being faced by borrowers, the RBI today provided additional 60 days for repayment of housing, car, farm and other loans worth up to Rs 1 crore. This is applicable to loans payable between November 1 and December 31, the RBI said in a notification. “... it has been decided to provide an additional 60 days beyond what is applicable for the concerned regulated entity for recognition of a loan account as substandard,” it said. The above relaxation is available to entities running working capital accounts with any bank with the sanctioned limit of Rs 1 crore or less. Term loans, whether business or personal, secured or otherwise, the original sanctioned amount of Rs 1 crore or less, on the books of any bank or any NBFC, including NBFC (MFI) would also get benefit of this relaxation. This will also include housing loans and agriculture loans, it said. The apex bank further said that all regulated financial institutions should note that this is a short-term deferment of classification as substandard due to delay in payment of dues arising during the period specified above and does not result in restructuring of the loans. “Dues payable before November 1 and after December 31, 2016, will be covered by the extant instruction for the respective regulated entity with regard to recognition of NPAs,” it

Pope authorises priests to S Korea’s opposition parties move against Park grant absolution for abortion

Vatican CITY, NOV 21 (Agencies): Pope Francis has extended the powers of Catholic priests to forgive abortions, making the announcement in an apostolic letter released Monday. It continues a special dispensation granted last year for the duration of the Year of Mercy, which finished Sunday.

“I wish to restate as firmly as I can that abortion is a grave sin, since it puts an end to an innocent life. In the same way, however, I can and must state that there is no sin that God’s mercy cannot reach and wipe away when it finds a repentant heart seeking to be reconciled with the Father,” the letter states. “May every priest,

Erdogan calls for UN overhaul Istanbul, NOV 21 (Agencies): Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for an overhaul of the United Nations on Monday, saying its Security Council had failed to address the Syria conflict and other global challenges. E r d o g a n g ave a n unabashed speech in Istanbul at the closing of a NATO meeting, where he slammed the Security Council’s concentration of power, reiterating that “the world is bigger than five.” “There are so many countries. There are five permanent members of the Security Council and one of those five permanent members can make a decision that binds the rest of

Recep Tayyip Erdogan

the world. That is not fair, that is not just,” Erdogan said. The Security Council was widely criticized for its inaction in the earlier years of the Syrian war, which broke out during the Arab Spring in 2011. The first US-led air strikes took place in September 2014. “To achieve interna-

tional peace and security, it’s going to be very difficult, and perhaps fail if the United Nations is not restructured,” Erdogan said. “The United Nations was formed at the end of World War II and we cannot continue to manage this world with an organization that old.” Erdogan also took the opportunity to call on world powers to stop supporting “terrorist organizations,” including the Kurdish People’s Protection Unit (YPG). The US calls the YPG a “moderate rebel group” and has given it military support and arms through the Syrian Democratic Forces alliance fighting ISIS militants.

Kabul mosque suicide attack kills dozens

Kabul, NOV 21 (Agencies): A suicide bomber has killed at least 27 people at a Shia Muslim mosque in the Afghan capital Kabul, police say. At least 35 more people were wounded in the blast at the Baqir ul Olum mosque in the west of the city. The attack came as worshippers gathered for a religious ceremony. So-called Islamic State (IS) said that it was behind the blast. It is the latest of several recent attacks on Afghanistan’s Shia community claimed by the Sunni Muslim militant group. Monday’s bombing took place at lunchtime (08:00 GMT) during a service to commemorate the death of Imam Hussein, the Prophet Muhammad’s grandson and a Shia martyr. Officials said the attacker was on foot and blew himself up among crowds inside the building. Eyewitnesses said the

service was almost over when the bomb was detonated. “I was inside the mosque and the Mullah was reading the prayer,” Ewaz Ali, 50, who suffered minor injuries, told the Associated Press news agency. “Suddenly a huge explosion happened, then everywhere was dark.” Another worshipper, Nadir Ali, told AFP news agency the blast had created a cloud of dust: “When the dust settled down, I saw the mosque was full of flesh and blood. I was injured in my waist and had to crawl out of the mosque.” Local reports suggested children were among the dead.

Most Shia Muslims come from the Tajik and Hazara ethnic minorities.

around the world would be authorized to forgive the “sin of abortion” for the duration of the Church’s Year of Mercy, which ran from December 8, 2015 to November 20, 2016. “The forgiveness of God cannot be denied to one who has repented,” he said at the time, expressing sympathy for women who had been through the “agonizing and painful” decision to terminate their pregnancy. In some regions, such as in the US, many priests already had the power to forgive abortion. Vatican officials described the announcement last year as “a widening of the church’s mercy.” Church officials had indicated at the time that it was possible that Pope Francis would opt to allow the changed policy to continue in perpetuity, as he has now done.

Park’s close friend Choi Soon-sil and former presidential aide An Chongbum have been charged with abuse of power by pressuring companies to contribute funds to foundations at the centre of the scandal. Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets of Seoul on Saturday in the fourth straight weekend of protests against Park, in the biggest public demonstrations the country has seen since the 1980s.

SEOUL, NOV 21 (Agencies): South Korea’s opposition People’s Party will start collecting signatures for an impeachment motion against President Park Geun-hye, while the main opposition Democratic Party will review the conditions for impeachment, party spokesmen said on Monday. South Korean prosecutors said on Sunday they believe Park was an accomplice in an influencepeddling scandal that has rocked her administration.

Lee Yong-ho. An impeachment motion requires at least half of the parliament to start and needs a two-thirds majority to pass. If an impeachment motion passes parliament, it is reviewed by the Constitutional Court, which has to confirm it with at least six of its nine judges. Political analysts say an impeachment motion against Park has a good chance of passing.

therefore, be a guide, support and comfort to penitents on this journey of special reconciliation,” the letter continues. “I henceforth grant to all priests, in virtue of their ministry, the faculty to absolve those who have committed the sin of procured abortion.” The Catholic Church has long held that abortion is a grave “moral evil,” with the Church’s strong position on the issue driving many Catholic pro-life groups. The Catechism of the Catholic Church says that every human life “from the moment of conception until death is sacred” -- and that any Catholic who procures an abortion incurs automatic excommunication, a penalty that often only a bishop can lift. But Pope Francis announced a shift last year when he said that priests

Juventus striker Higuain ruled out of Sevilla clash Turin, Nov 21 (IANS): A left thigh injury has ruled out Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain from the crucial Champions League group stage clash against Spanish football club Sevilla on Tuesday. Juventus are already without the injured forward duo of Paulo Dybala and Marko Pjaca. And with Higuain also injured, thanks to an injury during their 3-0 win over Pescara in the Serie A on Saturday, the Turin heavyweights are only left with a sole fit striker in Croatian Mario Mandzukic. The 28-year-old Argentine skipped the group training on Monday. “The forward’s condition will be monitored closely over the coming days,” Juventus said in their website. Italian media reported that Juventus head coach Massimiliano Allegri could deploy Colombian winger Juan Cuadrado and Brazilian left winger Alex Sandro beside Mandzukic as the centre forward. Allegri also has an option in attack in teenager Moise Kean but he is unlikely to be paired up with Mandzukic. The 16-year-old Kean on Saturday made history by becoming the first footballer born in the year 2000 or later to play in any of top four European leagues of Serie A, English Premier League (EPL), German Bundesliga and Spanish La Liga.

Winning the Under-17 World Cup hosting rights has sparked the interest of the Indian government in the development of the sport. “Bengaluru’s historic feat of finishing as runner up in the AFC Cup and the fighting display of our Under-16 national team against traditional Asian powerhouses Saudi Arabia and UAE in September’s AFC Under-16 Championships in Goa have illustrated that Indian football has begun to find its feet again,” said Patel.

Spinners bowl India to 1-0 series lead

Visakhapatnam: Indian players during the last day of the 2nd Test match against England in Visakhapatnam on Monday. (PTI)

Visakhapatnam, Nov 21 (IANS): India rode on a superb bowling performance to beat England by 246 runs in the second cricket Test at the ACA-VDCA Stadium here on Monday, to lead the five-match series 1-0. Chasing 405, England lost wickets at frequent intervals on the fifth and final day to end their second innings at 158. Rookie off-spinner Jayant Yadav enjoyed a memorable Test debut with figures of 3-30 while star off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin also bagged three wickets. Fast bowler Mohammed Shami and left-arm pacer Ravindra Jadeja claimed two wickets each. England skipper Alistair Cook top scored for his team with 54 runs. Jonny Bairstow remained unbeaten on 34. India captain Virat Kohli, who has been in excellent form with the bat in recent times, was adjudged the Man of the Match. Kohli had scored 167

runs in the first innings and 81 in the second. Ashwin was the most successful among the Indian bowlers with a total of eight wickets in the match. Resuming at the overnight score of 87/2, England lost Ben Duckett in only the sixth over of the day. The left-hander went for a sweep off an Ashwin delivery but was outfoxed by the extra bounce as the ball looped up for an easy catch to wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha. Duckett’s dismissal triggered a middle-order collapse for England. Moeen Ali was the next to go, defending patiently to score a mere two runs off 31 balls before Jadeja induced an edge to Virat Kohli at backward short leg. Ben Stokes joined Root in the middle and continued with the English strategy of adopting an overtly defensive strategy in a desperate bid to stave off defeat. He battled for 33 deliveries for his six runs but Jayant Yadav put an end to

his innings with a delivery that turned in sharply after pitching and beat the outside edge before crashing into the stumps. England suffered another crucial in the very next over when Joe Root also went back to the pavilion. Root, who lasted 107 deliveries for his 25 runs, was trapped leg before by an inswinger from Shami. Shami also dismissed Adil Rashid with a shortpitched delivery just before lunch and an Indian win was only a matter of time from there. The third Test begins at Mohali on November 26. Brief Scores: England 158 (Cook 54; Jayant 3/30 Ashwin 3/52) and 255 lost to India 204 and 455 by 246 runs

Twenty cars and around 80 persons that reached Kohima would be joined by two more cars from Nagaland before heading to Myanmar via Moreh. Some participants lamented at the road conditions in Nagaland while

randum of Understanding (MoU), which covers this payment, is yet to be signed by the two Boards. While the Supreme Court has sanctioned Rs 58.6 lakhs (approximately) per match for the organisation of the first three Tests, it does not include the daily allowance, which is subject to clauses of the MoU. While there hasn’t been major inconveniences for the England team but the recent demonetisation drive by the Indian government has indirectly affected them as the limited supply of legal tender (notes) they have with them is drying up. “Yes, England team is yet to receive any allowances from the BCCI,” an England insider told PTI on conditions of anonymity. Each of the England squad member is supposed to be paid 50 pounds sterling per day which is Rs 4200 approximately as per current exchange rate. It has been learnt that the match officials have been paid their daily allowances as well as the Indian players. When asked how are the England squad members managing, the source said: “The players and support staff are mainly doing transaction through credit card and there was some limited cash (Indian currency) that was provided to them by the manager.” While the cash crunch due to demonetisation has affected the whole country, the England team is also facing the brunt admitted the source.

Rooney dropped for being too slow: Mourinho L o n d o n, N ov 2 1 (Agencies): Jose Mourinho has suggested that Wayne Rooney missed out on a place in Manchester United’s starting XI against Arsenal because he is too slow. The Red Devils shuffled their pack for a home date with the Gunners – with some of those selection calls enforced, and others more tactical. Wayne Rooney was among those left on the bench, with Jose Mourinho favouring Juan Mata, Anthony Mar tial and Marcus Rashford in the final third. The England captain had endured a tough week in the build-up to the Old Trafford clash, having been pictured drunk while on international duty and nursing a slight knock upon his return to club action. Mourinho, though, has revealed that goings on off the field had no bearing on his line-up, with pace preferred to experience. “I thought we were going to have the ball,” said the Portuguese coach. “Arsenal are a team who let the opponents play. I thought we would have space and the ball would arrive quite easily to the attacking players.” “I believed ones like Juan Mata, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford were faster than Wayne — better attacking opponents one-to-one in the last line. I thought it was the best option,” said the former Chelsea manager.

Costa fires Blues to top of Premier League

Diego Costa is congratulated by his team-mates, including David Luiz (left), following his first-half strike.

L o n d o n, N ov 2 1 (Agencies): A first-half Diego Costa strike sent Chelsea to the summit of the Premier League with a 1-0 win over Middlesbrough at the Riverside stadium. The former Atletico Madrid player instinctively put away his effort from close-range after poor Middlesbrough defending allowed the Spanish international to stroke home in the 41st minute for his tenth of the season. Chelsea rarely looked in trouble throughout the 90 minutes and with another instrumental display from Eden Hazard and co, there is little reason to doubt they can go on to claim another league title. Despite the hosts starting the game on the frontfoot, Chelsea grew into the tie and created the first opportunity in the 28th minute when Victor Moses

played in Pedro who produced a world-class save from Victor Valdes. The former Barcelona goalkeeper was called into action again ten minutes later, after N’Golo Kanté’s through ball found the impressive Marcos Alonso whose shot was bravely stopped at the Portuguese’s near-post. Antonio Conte’s side were quick out of the blocks in the second-half and the Pensioners could have doubled their advantage 30 seconds in when the influential Eden Hazard played in Alonso whose shot was once again met by the stubborn Valdes. Middlesbrough showed little sign of revival until the 55th minute when a clever dummy from Alfredo Negredo left Gaston Ramirez unmarked, but the former Southampton man smashed his shot some distance wide of the

target. The crossbar came to Aitor Karanka’s men’s rescue in the 63rd minute when Costa headed back towards Pedro whose shot was only denied by the woodwork in what would have being a contender for goal of the season. Middlesbrough were denied a late equaliser after Negredo produced a wonderful flick before forcing a great save from the otherwise under-worked Thibaut Courtois. Chelsea have now won six on the bounce in the Premier League and will look to maintain their impressive form when they host Tottenham in a crunch clash at Stamford Bridge on the 26th of November, while Middlesbrough will be looking to climb the table after falling to 15th when they travel to Leicester City on the same date.

Murray beats Djokovic to win ATP World Tour Finals L o n d o n, N ov 2 1 (Agencies): A rejuvenated Andy Murray proved to be the dominant force on planet tennis by upsetting the odds to beat Novak Djokovic to win the World Tour Finals for the first time and end the year as world No 1. In a fitting climax to the season, the top two players went headon for the year-end world No 1, and it was Britain’s finest who stopped Djokovic from securing his fifth successive title at the O2 Arena with a stunning 6-3 6-4 victory. Murray’s victory in London also gave him his fifth title in a row following triumphs in Beijing, Shanghai, Vienna and Paris and ninth of the season. Djokovic, who was

aiming to match Roger Federer’s record of six titles, had perfect preparation for the final, but Murray was simply unplayable as he shocked his long-time rival in the winner-takes-all shootout to extend his winning run to 24 matches. Murray had not played Djokovic since losing the French Open final in June, his 24th defeat in 34 meetings with his former junior rival. Djokovic, who came into the tournament on his worst run of form for several years, certainly appeared to have the spark back after demolishing Kei Nishikori in the semi-finals on Saturday. Murray, who provided his home crowd with another trademark ‘tennis epic’, spending three hours

and 38 minutes quelling the ferocious firepower of Milos Raonic, somehow recovered to walk out to a fever-pitch atmosphere at the O2 Arena. He made a composed start too, looking comfortable on serve and driving his opponent back behind the baseline. The steely Serb was forced to repel Murray’s two break point chances during a lengthy sixth game. Murray needed one last push at the end of a stunning second half to 2016, when he has won Wimbledon and the Olympics before topping the rankings for the first time, and he pummelled the nervous Serb’s backhand Andy Murray of Britain with the trophy after winning the to make the first move in a ATP World Tour Finals singles final tennis match against stylish eighth game.
