NLA revokes 2012 resolution on women quota govt TO FILE COUNTER AFFIDAVIT: CM

Discussion on PIL by LH

Thomas takes on TR Zeliang govt

Correspondent

KOHIMA, NOV 24 (NPN): The 12th Nagaland Legislative Assembly today revoked the resolution passed by the 11th NLA on September 22,2012 under Article 371 A (1) (a) of the constitution of India which exempted Nagaland from the application of Article 243 T Part IX A of the Indian Constitution on the last day of the NLA session, Thursday.

NLA Speaker Chotisuh Sazo opened the house for clarification although he said he did not receive any proposal for amendment.

After discussing the issue for almost one and half hour the house revoked the resolution by voice vote.

Earlier Chief Minister T.R Zeliang asked the members to understand the situation of the country and the global scenario where women and youth empowerment has been accepted.

He said every state in India had accepted women reservation while some states like Kerela have provided more than 50% WR. He also said if Nagas stick to Article 371 (A) even inside the kitchen, Naga people cannot move forward.

ACAUT takes on teachers, TA issue D I M A P U R , N OV 2 4 (NPN): ACAUT said despite blatant corruption by the state government in various departments, another tale of internal squabbles within the School Education department has cropped up, leaving hundreds of government schools in dire straits.

ACAUT media cell in a press note, citing media reports, said no wonder the 2016 HSLC pass percentage of government schools was only 32.81% with 30 schools reporting nil results, since 160 government schools running without headmasters.

This may have spurred the School Education minister, during the state level Teacher’s Day celebration, to admit that he takes responsibility, ACAUT stated.

On the other hand, ACAUT welcomed step taken by the School Education to promote Graduate Teachers, 1983-89 batch, as Asst. Head Masters (AHMs) and Junior Education Officers (JEOs) by December 2016. Stating that the department had taken the right decision, ACAUT said there is no question of junior batch (1992) superseding the 1983-89 batches. This decision will hopefully allow all the schools function in full strength with the required head masters, it added.

stages walk out in protest

NLA Speaker, Chotisuh Sazo presides over the last day of the 14the session of the 12th NLA, Thursday.

Zeliang said Municipal Act was passed in 1992 in the parliament and if Nagas didn’t want the reservation, then the state MPs should have raised in the parliament within one year; yet it was not done and so the 74th amendment Act became valid in 1993.

He explained that in 2001 Municipal Act was passed without the provision of the Part IX A in the NLA and in 2005 the Naga Mother Association went to High Court against non-provision for women reservation.

He said the High Court then directed the state government to include Part IX A amended by Municipal act 2001 by inserting section 23 B A and 23 B and tatse He said the state government in 2006, inserted

section 23 BA and 23 B to which tribal hohos reacted to and therefore, election of town council, municipalities was stopped till today.

He admitted that on September 22, 2012, NLA passed a resolution not to apply women reservation in the act as it would infringe on 371 (A). However Zeliang said without election for almost a decade has made people living in towns as losers.

He cited instances that before the Act came into being, state had implemented Assam Tribal Areas Act 1950 but Nagas didn’t react.

He said in village councils and VDBs, state has agreed to the guideline of the 25% fund reservation for women development and 25% women participation in VDB and even on this there

Demonetisation, a case of organised loot: Manmohan NEW DELHI, NOV 24 (AGENCIES): After five days of confrontation, Rajya Sabha briefly saw resumed debate on demonetisation today during which former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh led the opposition attack, saying the step was “a case of organised loot and legalised plunder” and reflected a “monumental management failure”.

He said the decision would lead to dip in the country’s GDP growth by at least 2 per cent. As Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the Upper House, the opposition and the ruling side came to an agreement to do away with the Question Hour and resume the debate, which had been left incomplete on November 16.

Leader of the House and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said Modi will also participate in the debate.

The opposition had been demanding presence of the

Manmohan Singh

Prime Minister for resumption of the debate for the last five days. Modi attended the House during Question Hour as Thursday is the day of questions listed against the PM’s name.

Debate was resumed during the Question Hour, from 12 pm to 1 pm, after which the House went into lunch break. When it met again at 2 pm, Modi was not there, prompting the opposition parties to demand his presence again as they wanted him to listen to all the speakers.

Deputy chairman P J Kurien said the discussion should be carried forward as the Leader of the House has said that Prime Minister will come. Opposition members then trooped into the Well of the House shouting slogans like “bring back black money, stop making false promises”.

Earlier speaking during the debate, Singh said, “These measures convinced me that the way the scheme has been implemented, it’s a monumental management failure.” The noted economist said the decision will result in decline of GDP by 2 per cent, which was an “under-estimate and not an over-estimate”. He said he agreed with the objectives of the scheme to demonetise currency notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 as spelt out by the Prime Minister but he wished to highlight the problems that the common people and poor have been

subjected to by the move.

Lok Sabha could not transact any business as opposition continued its protest demanding discussion on demonetisation issue under Adjournment Motion and a rule which entails voting.

Mayawati raised the issue of Modi’s absence, saying it was a matter of regret that the Prime Minister had not arrived for the demonetisation debate. She was joined

by Sitaram Yechury (CPI-M) and Leader of Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad, who argued that if Modi listens to leaders, then the House will run smoothly.

Yechury said the government had given an assurance that the Prime Minister will be in the House all day.

Launching a counter offensive, Leader of the House and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said the Opposition was inventing reasons for running away from the debate.

Taking a jibe at chief minister T.R.Zeliang, who, as then minister of parliamentary affairs, had “convincingly” piloted the rejection against 33%women reservation by the house, Thomas asked him “what has made you change your mind now to seek revocation of the same resolution?”

He alleged that there were some hidden agenda behind the revocation, such as –pressure on the leadership from some quarters; or for purely monetary benefit from the government of India(Urban Development ministry) or to exploit civic bodies for NPF in the 2018 assembly election.

He said revocation will go against the wishes of the Naga people since it had been passed in 2012, after a series of consultations with various sections of Naga people. Similarly, the same yardstick should be applied, by going back to people to discuss and explain the reasons for revocation in order to get all on board, he said.

KO H I M A , N OV 2 4 (NPN): Article 371A was the prime focus during discussions on the last day of the 2-day session of the 12th NLA Thursday when it was mentioned with regard to 33% women reservation and later over the issue of PIL filed by Lotha Hoho against NP&NG Regulations and Rules 2012.

Chief Minister T.R Zeliang said the stand of Government of India maintained that the Nagaland Petroleum & Natural Gas rules and regulation 2012 was unconstitutional and for which the state government will fight in the court by filing a counter affidavit.

Chief Minister T.R Zeliang said that the Gauhati High Court stay order had clearly stated that state government did not have the power to make laws pertaining to oil and natural gas thereby no works could be executed.

He said the state government cannot go ahead with exploration and extraction anywhere in the state owing to the PIL filed by Lotha Hoho.

Chief Minister said permit was issued only for Wokha and Peren because the company has fulfilled the criteria where as for other districts, there was no company came forward. He added that for Mon district there one company tendered yet citizens of Mon districts has rejected the company thereby could not issue the permit.

This issue came up during the zero hour when parliamentary secretary Er. Levi Rengma asked why exploration of oil in other districts could not be taken up other than Wokha and Peren?.

As if on cue, Dr. Imtiwapang, pulled out a fourpaged prepared speech wherein he cited all the developments in continuation of his earlier positions which had been highlighted prominently in the media.

Dr Imtiwapang also stated that the letter from the Petroleum ministry was like an order.

Dr Aier highlighted the issue saying Article 371 (A) was more of a threat when compared with 33% reservation and so Nagas should (Cont’d on p-7)

NPCC appeals citizens to join Nov 28 rally DIMAPUR, NOV 24 (NPN): In connection with the proposed protest against demonetization on November 28, 2016, the Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) has appealed to all citizens to participate in the protest rally meeting scheduled to be held at Clock Tower, Dimapur at 11am.

In a press release, NPCC president, K. Therie, also appealed to all opposition parties, citizens, chamber of commerce and industries and trade unions to show their sol-

idarity by downing shutters between 11am to 12 noon on that day and also participate in “flag marching” to respective deputy commissioners to submit the demands. It has requested all responsible to bring their own flags.

Dimapur airport cash episode ends; PSAN accuses deptts. owner gets back legitimate money of providing false info

GUWAHATI/HISAR, NOV 24 (AGENCIES): The mystery over the Rs 3.5 crore cash that reportedly disappeared from Dimapur airport after being flown in a chartered aircraft from (Cont’d on p-7) Hisar on Tuesday has been solved.

According to Hindustan Times report, the cash, all in scrapped Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 banknotes, is “legitimate”, certified by the Income Tax department and has been handed over to the owner, a Naga businessman.

The businessman, said sources, had given the money to one Amarjeet Singh, a businessman from Bihar, to buy farm land in Haryana. The deal didn’t materialise and the money was returned.

Later, the after going through all documents which was found to be legitimate, the income-tax department handed over the cash to the owner.

The I-T department on November 11 gave the Naga businessman “I’ve opened credits in a certificate to transport the money several stores due to from Hisar, saying he was exempt demonetisation. The from paying tax, sources said. bills will come to your Nagas, like all resident tribes of office.” the sixth schedule areas of the North-

was no reaction.

He said Article 371 (A) was more severe in the village level but no one has objected or reacted against the reservation of seats or fund made in the village and said reality should be applied in one’s mind.

With the SLP admitted in Supreme Court, Zeliang reiterated that the state government decided not to wait for the Court’s verdict, saying it would take long years.

He said the decision to accept or not to accept Central Act, NLA was the only authority to pass a resolution.

Therefore, he said the intention of the government was that with so many townships created, people should be benefited by conducting civic polls.

Independent MLA of Sanis constituency (Wokha), N.Thomas Ngullie became the lone opposition voice, disproving claims that the 12th NLA was “oppositionless”, when he attacked the DAN-III government headed by chief minister T.R.Zeliang on the floor of the house, on Thursday, to oppose the revocation of the September 22,2012 resolution by the previous house and later, stormed out in protest .

The motion for revocation of the September 22,2012 resolution was tabled on November 22 by R.Tohanba parliamentary secretary in-charge Municipal Affairs.

In his around 15-minute speech, before the motion was taken up, Thomas tore into the government’s decision to steam toll the motion.

Thomas said revocation would certainly weaken the foundation of Article 371A since 33% women reservation was under the former’s domain.

east, are exempt from paying income tax. While the ownership of cash has been established, the disappearance from Dimapur airport and the return is still fuzzy.

The money was seized by the personnel of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), which is tasked with securing airports across the country, after they were tipped off by Delhi colleagues.

The CISF alerted I-T officials.

The police seized CCTV footage from the airport to track the money.

“We are sure that the money was taken away by an individual. But the CISF personnel on duty and income tax (IT) officials denied having handed the money over to anyone,” Dimapur police commissioner Liremo Lotha had said, according to Hindustan Times report.

He said the CISF personnel denied handing over the money to the income-tax sleuths while the taxmen said they issued a seizure memo but the CISF didn’t hand over the cash to them. What happened in between is still a mystery.

DIMAPUR, NOV 24 (NPN): Public Service Aspirants of Nagaland (PSAN) accused the departments of providing incomplete or false information to an RTI query.

Since, the wrong information provided by the departments on matter of appointments was a “complete disregard of the noble concept of the RTI”, PSAN at the meeting with various associations from technical background on November 23 resolved to fight against the offending departments.

Fortnight observation on elimination of violence against women

speech, expressed that the society has to be educated, trained and nourished on gender justices so that it can survive for a long time.

“Excluding women and girls in our structures and policies is actually excluding progressive development,” she stated.

Inspector general (Crime), S. Saravanan IPS quoted Hillary Clinton, “Human Rights are Women Rights and Women Rights are Human Rights” and Sano Vamuzo speaking at the launching programme of Fortnight observation suggested four methods to empower women-- land on elimination of violence against women. (DIPR) DIMAPUR: Fortnight observation on elimination of violence against women, commencing 16 days of activism from November 25 to December 10 was launched by the Nagaland State Commission for Women (NSCW) on November 24 at Hotel de Oriental Grand, with former chairperson NSCW, Sano Vamuzo as the chief guest, under the theme “from peace in the home to peace in the world: make education safe for all.”

According to DIPR report, chairperson NSCW, Dr. Temsula Ao in her introductory speech remarked that the status of Naga women has always been determined by ancient customs and practices in society, especially in the vital issues of marriage, divorce and inheritance.

She highlighted the plight of women-- inability to inherit property owing to prevailing customary laws, the criticisms, obligations and compromises that comes along while filing FIRs to redress their grievances—saying these were all subtle intimidation and psychological subjugation that persists in the society. She therefore called for a balanced intervention of state authorities and legal services in order to create awareness in both men and women in this regard.

Dr. Temsula further said that an urgent re-assessment of all tribal customary laws

and property rights, political participation of women, equal employment opportunities and entrepreneurial empowerment of women.

Earlier, invocation was pronounced by woman pastor, Sumi Baptist Church Kohima, Kitoshi Kiba and the welcome address by member NSCW, Asangla Cholong . The programme was chaired by member NSCW, Kakheli Jakhalu who also pronounced the vote of thanks. A special number was presented by Sangtam Baptist Church

Youth Endeavour, Kohima.

The 2016 ‘16 days of activism’ marks its 25 years of starting the campaign in 1991, used as an organizing strategy to call for the elimination of all forms of gender based violence by individuals and groups across the world. The centre for women’s global leadership is the global coordinator for the campaign. The dates November 25 (International Day against violence against women) and December 10 (Human Rights Day) were chosen to emphasis the links

between ending violence against women and human rights value and to highlight that violence against women is an international human rights violation.

and traditions was needed in order to safeguard the rights of Naga women and standardized amendments must be made a part of these laws so that no Naga women is discriminated against in her own home and society.

Speaking at the programme, the chief guest on behalf of all Naga women thanked state chief minister, T.R. Zeliang for breaking the path to empower all Naga women in spite of oppositions.

She also thanked the Joint Action Committee for Women Reservation for their bold fight on 33% reservation for women, and in this regard called upon all women to stay united, uphold and support one another.

Sano exhorted the gathering to know their rights which, she said, will ultimately help them know their roles better and urged the gathering not to be silent and quiet, but to speak up and spread the awareness specially among the rural sisters.

On the issue of domestic violence, Sano said it begins even before birth and continues till their old age, and therefore called upon the administration, the police, the legal agencies and specially the church to play a significant role to educate the people about violence against women and its elimination.

“These cases of assaults on children should be taken seriously as such acts against minor children will not be tolerated in the society,” stated a condemnation note issued

by CSWO president Agnes Kharshiing.

The organisation also lauded the bold step taken by the colony people who reported the matter to the police. The CSWO has also asked the authorities not to easily grant bail to the stepmother stating that she may intimidate the minor children more and put them under fear.

Children are our assets and should be well taken care of and not be assaulted or used, trafficked, raped, or abused, stated CWSO. “Such acts against them should be brought immediately to notice of authorities and should not be hidden and hushed up.

Society should rise up to defend children at all cost,” it added.

Compound in the presence of foreign delegates and tourism secretary Vinod Zutshi of government of India among others.

International Tourism Mart is an annual event organized in the north eastern region of the country to highlight the tourism potential of the region to domestic as well as foreign tourists.

The event has been planned and scheduled to facilitate interaction between buyers, sellers, media persons, government agencies and other stakeholders to promote tourism in the region.

The main focus of the International Tourism Mart this time is the 10-day Manipur Sangai Festival which started on Monday last at Imphal. While affirming the commitment of the Union ministry of tourism, the

Assam’s crusader against witchhunting Rabha receives award M u mbai , N ov 2 4 (PTI): Birubala Rabha, a social activist from Assam known for her relentless fight against the evil practice of witch-hunting, was today honoured with Our North East (ONE) India Award here.

The award has been instituted by My Home India, a city -based NGO. Rabha was presented a trophy and Rs 1 lakh in cash prize (the amount was transferred to her account through RGTS) at a ceremony here.

The 67-year-old, who has received numerous awards, is a well-known figure in the North East, especially in her home state Assam, for her decades-long crusade against witch- hunting and other forms of superstitions.

She has saved a number of women from becoming victims of witchhunting, the NGO said.

Rabha is the seventh receipt of the award and past recipients include leg-

endary boxer Mary Kom. Rabha, born in a remote village along the AssamMeghalaya border, set up Mission Birubala in 2011 to accelerate her crusade against the practise of branding women as `dayans’ (witches), torturing and even killing them.

In 2005, Rabha was nominated for Noble Peace Prize, according to the website of Mission Birubala.

Speaking on the occasion she said, “It’s very sad that in this age of technological advancement, social evils like witch-hunting still exist in the country, especially in remote areas.”

Main reasons for branding women as witches are lack of education, quality health services and absence of a strong law against the practise, she added. The award is given to a personality from North East who has contributed to India’s glory, integrity and development.

IMPHAL, Nov 24: One more goods laden truck was torched at Siguilong village near Nungdolan along the NH-37 in Tamenglong district on Wednesday night, around 8.30 pm.

The FCI rice ferry truck (MN01C-3796) was torched at after it was reportedly stop by some youths who identified themselves to be the volunteers of the UNC, a report here said Thursday.

The report alleged that the suspects set afire the truck after the driver Lakpati Singh and his co-driver and handyman were forced out from the vehicle. Rice bags were allegedly pulled down from the truck before catching fire. The front portion of the truck has been severely damaged in the arson.

Wednesday’s arson was the second incident in which suspected blockade supporters damaged goods laden truck since the commencement of the economic blockade imposed by the United Naga Council (UNC) on November 1.

Earlier, they had burnt down a chickenfeed laden truck at Tadubi area in Senapati district on November 21 last.

China has blocked Brahmaputra channel: Govt

NEW DELHI, Nov 24 (Agencies): Confirming that China has blocked a channel of River Brahmaputra, India today said that it has urged China to ensure that the interests of downstream states are not harmed by any activities in the upstream areas of Tibet.

“As a lower riparian state with considerable user rights to the waters of the Brahmaputra River, India has conveyed its views and concerns to the Chinese authorities, including at the highest levels. India has urged China to ensure that the interests of downstream states are not harmed by any activities in upstream areas in Tibet,” said Minister of State for External Affairs Gen (retd) VK Singh in reply to a Lok Sabha question by Dushyant Singh, Gaurav Gogoi, Ramen Deka and Jyotiraditya Madhavrao Scindia.

In September 2016, the Chinese authorities announced the blocking of Xiabuqu river at Xigaze in Tibet as part of the Lalho multiple hydro project. Xiabuqu is a tributary of the Yearlong Zangbo (Brahmaputra) river. According to information available, the proposed reservoir is designed to store up to 295 million cubic metres of water to irrigate about 30,000 hectares of farmland. The project also proposes to have two power stations with a combined generation capacity of 42 megawatts. The Lalho project is approximately 1,100 km upstream of the entry point of River Brahmaputra into India in Arunachal Pradesh, said the minister.

Meanwhile, UNC had warned of intensifying its stir. Suspected blockade supporters have piled up boulders and earth on the stretch of the NH-37 at various areas, particularly at Keimai and Oinamlong areas of Tamenglong district to enforce the blockade.

With no BRO worker manning the highway to clear the road, state security personnel heading Jiribam to escort back loaded trucks had to clear the road yesterday.

As many as 433 loaded trucks including 43 petrol tanker, 58 diesel tanker, four SK oil tanker, three ATF tanker, 26 bullet (bulk LPG) tanker, 99 rice loaded trucks, 86 cement loaded trucks and 144 trucks loaded with essential and edible items have proceeded Imphal on NH37 with security escort.

The trucks left Jiribam for Imphal early Thursday morning and at the time filing this report, they had crossed Nungba area of Tamenglong area where some womenfolk supporting the UNC sponsored stir attempted to block them.

However, after the officers commanding the security escorts convinced the womenfolk, the truck proceeded.

A male, a female and her calf from a herd fell early on Wednesday into one of the large unfenced pits being dug to construct Patanjali’s unit at Ghoramari in Tezpur district.

The tusker managed to get out, but the female, which suffered internal

injuries and broke a leg from the fall, and her twomonth-old calf, remained stuck. Efforts to pull her out and treat her proved futile and she died on Wednesday night.

The calf, which remained near his mother for the entire day, was shifted to the elephant rehabilitation centre at Kaziranga national park.

“Something which shouldn’t have happened has happened. I have directed my department to register a police case to probe the reasons that led to the elephant’s death,” forest minister Pramila Rani Brahma, who visited the site on Thursday, said.

The first information report (FIR) will be registered against unknown persons but names will be

entered once the preliminary inquiry establishes the culpability.

Reports say several pits have been dug up in the area to set up the plant, but no fence was erected to prevent animals or humans from falling into them.

“I have heard this area is frequented by wild elephants. If the land was allotted to Patanjali despite this knowledge, it is unfortunate. Protective measures should have been taken,” Brahma said.

Chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal laid the foundation of Patanjali’s Rs 1,000-crore Ghoramari plant, which will be spread over 150 acres, earlier this month.

The Nameri national

park and Sonai Rupai wildlife sanctuary are located close to the plant, nearly 200km northeast of the state capital. The plant aims to become operational by next March. It will have the capacity to produce nearly 1 million metric tonnes of goods a year and provide direct employment to 5,000 people.

“The incident shouldn’t have happened.

We have many local contractors working at the site.

We will inquire into the incident and take appropriate action,” Patanjali spokesperson SK Tijarawala said.

The death highlighted forest officials’ inability to rescue and provide immediate treatment to wild elephants.

He said that with the support of the Union ministry of tourism, state tourism department has made a plan to tap tourism potential of the state by developing tourist infrastructure.

India issues demarche to Pakistan on border firing

NEW DELHI, NOV 24 (AGENCIE): India has lodged strong protest with Pakistan against repeated ceasefire violations and deliberate targeting of villages along the Line of Control (LoC) by the Pakistan Army, and deplored continued attempts to infiltrate armed terrorists to target Indian posts and patrols.

Divulging details at his weekly media briefing, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Vikas Swarup on Thursday said the MEA called in Pakistan Deputy High Commissioner Syed Haider Shah last evening and issued a demarche, the fourth one this month, on the continued violation of ceasefire from the other side of the LoC. “The Government of India stated that despite calls for restraints, Pakistani forces committed 27 ceasefire violations between November 16 and 21 by resorting to calibre escalation and employing artillery and 120mm heavy mortars against Indian posts. These violent acts constitute a clear violation of the ceasefire Agreement of 2003. “The government conveyed that it strongly

deplores the passive support of the Pakistan Army to armed terrorists who targetted an Indian patrol near the LoC in Machhal sector and killed three Indian soldiers, including inhuman mutilation of the body of one of them.”

Swarup further said the govt also protested the deliberate targeting by the Pakistan Army of the 18 villages along LoC during the period November 1621, which has resulted in a non-fatal casualty, besides causing extensive damage to public and private property and displacement of the civilian population.

“The government conveyed its grave concerns at the continued attempts to infiltrate armed terrorists from across LoC to target Indian posts and patrols. During the last week alone, there have been 15 instances, where terrorists indulged in various actions from the vicinity of Pakistani Army posts from across the LoC,” he added.

Talking about Sepoy Chandu Babulal Chavan, the MEA spokesperson said, “The government also reiterated its concerns about the safety and wellbeing of Sepoy Chandu

Swaraj not to attend HoA

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj will not attend the Heart of Asia (HoA) conference in Amritsar next week due to illness even as the government remained noncommittal about a possible Indo-Pakistan bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the event.

However, External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup reiterated India’s stated position that though the country is for dialogue but “talks and terror cannot go hand-inhand”, when asked if there will be a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the conference on Afghanistan which is being attended by Pakistan Prime Minister’s Foreign Affairs Adviser Sartaj Aziz.

“Our position on it (talks) is very very clear from the beginning. We are for a dialogue with Pakistan. But talks and terror cannot happen together. It is incumbent on Pakistan

to create the necessary environment for a conducive bilateral dialogue to happen,” he said and also referred to Swaraj’s address at the UN recently that for talks to take place, Islamabad will have to end terrorism.

Asked whether Swaraj will attend the conference, he said “The External Affairs Minister will not be able to attend.”

Swaraj is undergoing treatment for kidney failure. On being persistently questioned about the possibility of an Indo-Pak bilateral meet, Swarup said, “The programme is still evolving. The associated events connected with the conference are in a process of evolving. At this point, I am not in a position to make any other announcement.”

When pressed further, the MEA Spokesperson said the programme was in a “fluid state” and he was not in a position to rule in or rule out anything at this stage.

The conference, which will be addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, will be attended by representatives of over 40 countries.

Make voting fundamental duty: Prasad NEW DELHI, NOV 24 (PTI): Voting by every Indian citizen should be included in the Constitution as a Fundamental Duty, according to Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, in remarks he said were personal in nature.

He also said every Indian should pay tax if they come under the tax limit.

Delivering a talk to members of Parliament on Fundamental Rights and Duties at an event organised by the Lok Sabha Secretariat here today on Constitution of India, he said he would like to share some issues which are his personal views.

“I am not saying this as the Law Minister of the country. Some points should be added to Article 51 (a) of the Constitution (dealing with Fundamental Duties)...that every Indian must vote; every Indian must pay tax if they come under the tax limit,” he said.

His remarks come against the backdrop of demands to make voting compulsory. There has been a private member’s bill in the Lok Sabha in this regard.

But the government, the Election Commission and the Law Commission have opined against making voting compulsory saying it is not feasible.

Uddhav tells centre to heed Manmohan’s views on note ban

Uddhav Thackeray

MUMBAI, NOV 24 (IANS): Lavishing rare praise on any opposition leader, Shiv Sena President Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday urged the Centre to heed former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s views on demonetisation as he’s “a renowned economist”.

“Former PM Singh is a renowned economist and his words and opinions must be taken seriously. The manner in which money is being collected from the people, it seems it’s an extortion of the common man,” Thackeray told mediapersons in the afternoon.

He said it is pointless for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to become emotional when people all over have tears in their eyes.

“One person cannot take such a decision for 125 crore Indians...The people should have been taken into confidence. You have brought tears to the eyes

of those who voted for you with great hopes and aspirations... You couldn’t wipe their tears,” Thackeray said.

He made it clear the Shiv Sena would not think twice before taking an opposing or critical stand on the manner in which demonetisation was implemented.

Referring to the referendum in United Kingdom before it withdrew from the European Union, he said a similar survey (on demonetisation) was being conducted here.

“After the public opinion (on Brexit), the British PM quit...Will something like this happen here,” he wondered.

Thackeray demanded extension of time-limit till December 31 for exchanging the demonetised notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 at petrol pumps, pharmacies and hospitals for the benefit of the masses running from pillar to post.

Questioning the Reserve Bank Of India’s move barring district central cooperative banks from exchanging the old currency notes, he asked whether the absconding liquor baron Vijay Mallya had availed loans from these (DCC) banks.

However, he wondered how the banks from where Mallya took loans have been permitted to exchange the old notes.

NITI Aayog to revamp UGC NEW DELHI, NOV 24 (IANS): The regulatory framework of the University Grants Commission (UGC) will undergo revamp to enhance the quality of higher education in India, the government said on Thursday.

The NITI Aayog has been assigned to recommend measures for improvement in the regulatory framework of the UGC, Minister of State for Human Resource Development Mahendra Nath Pandey informed the Rajya Sabha. “The objectives of this task are to examine and improve the existing higher education regulatory framework in line with contemporary national and global requirements and to enhance the quality of higher education in India,” Pandey said in a written reply to the house.

The minister said NITI Aayog along with the Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) and the UGC were assigned the task of finalising a regulatory framework for setting up of 20 world-class institutions. The guidelines will suggest the roadmap for implementation of the regulatory framework. The identification/selection of the institutes for world class institutions will be made only after the guidelines and regulations are finalised and notified,” he said.

Uniform doesn’t differentiate on religious basis, says Rijiju

NEW DELHI, NOV 24 (PTI): Union Minister Kiren Rijiju today said security forces in the country are performing their duties, including in border areas, and they are not differentiated on the basis of religion.

Addressing a function organised by the National Foundation for Communal Harmony at the National Police Memorial here, he said they all are providing security in the border areas.

“The uniform does not dif-

ferentiate the security forces on the basis of religion,” he said. The programme was organised as part of activities being organised on the occasion of ‘Communal Harmony Week’ being observed from November 19-25, 2016.

Students from various schools representing different religious communities participated in the function, during which they presented various programmes including religious songs, speeches

and patriotic songs. Rijiju appealed to the students to spread the message of communal harmony in all parts of the country when they go back. He said in future each child will take different course in his life and will get an opportunity to serve the country.

The Minister asked the students that they should never get swayed by the appeals made by any group to divide them on the basis of religion, caste or region.

NEW DELHI, NOV 24 (PTI): The CVC has asked all central government departments to probe cases of alleged corruption pointed out in CAG reports in last three financial years.

The move comes after the probity watchdog found that Chief Vigilance Officers (CVOs), who act as its distant arm to check corruption in government departments, were not examining such reports and actions were not being taken against the government employees for their involvement in corruption.

in the foothills of Aravali mountain range, near Sohna, some 26 km from Gurugram city.

The leopard entered the village on Thursday morning and was beaten to death by the villagers.

Out of six injured persons, four were admitted to Sohna civil hospital.

Villagers informed the forest department officials but they failed to reach the spot on time. Angry over the poor response from the forest department, people blocked traffic by keeping the body of the leopard on the Sohna-Ballabgarh road.

People told police that the leopard was spotted in the region on several occasions over the last one year. The information was conveyed to forest officials but they remained inactive.

The body of the leopard has been sent for postmortem examination.

Authorised forest officials (wildlife) were not available for comment despite efforts.

The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has in its some reports, especially including those on allocation of coal blocks, second generation (2G) spectrum and Commonwealth Games, have pointed out various irregularities and alleged corruption besides notional loss worth several crore of rupees to the exchequer.

In a directive issued recently, the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) has asked all its CVOs to examine the audit reports (internal, statutory and

CAG reports) relating to their organisations for the last three financial years -2013-14, 2014-15 and 201516 -- and to submit their findings to the Commission.

The entire exercise need to be completed within three months time, it said.

“In cases of observations in audit reports wherein matters of prima facie vigilance angle or corruption are noticed, the CVOs would complete their inquiries in individual instances or cases fixing responsibilities of the officials concerned

and thereafter make a selfcontained reference seeking the first stage advice of the Commission as per prescribed procedure,” the CVC said. The fact of review or examination of these audit reports may be reported in the annual reports of their respective organisations by the CVOs, the Commission said. “The audit reports of

the CAG many a time reveal not only administrative and financial irregularities, but also instances of corruption and lapses involving vigilance overtones.

“Apart from relying to all such audit reports, no serious exercise is undertaken to identify officials responsible for deterrent action...,” it said.

Welcoming visitors

F

estive season is just knocking at the door to herald the onset of the season of festivals, events, marriages and good times. It will also bring another reminder about large scale pollution, littering and poor treatment of natural resources at proposed tourist destinations. Even as people seek to celebrate festivals and events, it should also make them realize the grave environmental as well as human concern. Visitors including tourists from within and abroad, cannot but comment on the road conditions as well as the environment of the state’s premier towns-Dimapur and Kohima. The local authorities responsible for repair and maintenance of roads, undertaking annual patch up works should try to make a good job of it. The problem with roads in the state is that though black-topped, they are uneven and offer motorists a bumpy ride. Those who undertook construction or relaying jobs know what a smooth ride is and therefore, they should have considered it as an important aspect of what makes good roads. On the part of local civic authorities, especially Dimapur and Kohima, the dry winter months also throw up a problem that needs to be tackled. Sweeping of sand and dust collected in huge quantity by the roadsides and a good flushing with water hoses, would certainly bring about a refreshing look which would also help decrease pollution. Getting rid of garbage is a continuous affair but the condition, at least in Dimapur has improved to an extent but more needs to be done in this regard. Garbage should be disposed off and streets made to look hygienic and clean before the break of dawn. Even as the state government plans for the burst of festival mania, it should get hold of other departments including voluntary groups to educate people to preserve natural scenic spots. Visitors to Nagaland often lament on the depredation of the natural environment, a feature which the state has been abundantly blessed but sadly neglected. In contrast, a small country like Singapore, which is one third the size of Nagaland, gets more than six million tourists annually. Nagaland’s hotel industry has to gear up to respond to the demands by providing clean, healthy foods and comfort at affordable rates. The hotel industry is one of the pillars of the tourism trade and with the state government trying all its best to attract visitors, a collaborative effort would be beneficial. The state tourism department could also play some role in having restaurants or hotels accredited based on criteria and even provide some incentives if they are able to house certain number of guest during a certain period. It is said, that the first impression is also the lasting impression, in ensuring a clean environment as an important aspect of tourist trade. The present only buttresses the belief that “Tourism is the first casualty of pollution.” People in the state also need to play their part and the tourism department and local authorities have to get their act together in this regard. In other states authorities plan and implement their action plans in co-ordination with NGOs and public to supplement the promotion of tourism.

This culture should also come to Nagaland so that people learn to shoulder their responsibility instead of depending on the government for everything.

DailyDevotion Direction of Focus Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters…, so our eyes look to the Lord our God… —Psalm 123:2 This verse is a description of total reliance on God. Just as the eyes of a servant are riveted on his master, our eyes should be directed to and focused on God. This is how knowledge of His countenance is gained and how God reveals Himself to us (see Isaiah 53:1). Our spiritual strength begins to be drained when we stop lifting our eyes to Him. Our stamina is sapped, not so much through external troubles surrounding us but through problems in our thinking. We wrongfully think, “I suppose I’ve been stretching myself a little too much, standing too tall and trying to look like God instead of being an ordinary humble person.” We have to realize that no effort can be too high.

For example, you came to a crisis in your life, took a stand for God, and even had the witness of the Spirit as a confirmation that what you did was right. But now, maybe weeks or years have gone by, and you are slowly coming to the conclusion— “Well, maybe what I did showed too much pride or was superficial. Was I taking a stand a bit too high for me?” Your “rational” friends come and say, “Don’t be silly. We knew when you first talked about this spiritual awakening that it was a passing impulse, that you couldn’t hold up under the strain.

And anyway, God doesn’t expect you to endure.” You respond by saying, “Well, I suppose I was expecting too much.” That sounds humble to say, but it means that your reliance on God is gone, and you are now relying on worldly opinion. The danger comes when, no longer relying on God, you neglect to focus your eyes on Him. Only when God brings you to a sudden stop will you realize that you have been the loser. Whenever there is a spiritual drain in your life, correct it immediately.

Realize that something has been coming between you and God, and change or remove it at once.

Post-mortem

A case study on HIV/TB Co-infection Relative economics: an alternative to modern eco dev M

T

he present economic development module that has been manifested by so called modern developed countries clearly gives a message of catastrophe rather than promoting the sustainable development of the world. The overall sufferings and miseries of mankind proves that existing economic policies are not for the betterment of society but for the destruction of our planet. Isn’t a big question on our survival? Is human being doom to suffer just for the cause of power, money and politics of few? Are we sacrificing our life by purchasing the unwanted products made at the cost of nature? Many burning questions that are unresolved and still we are punished by globalized open market and exploitive consumerism.

Modern economic development has opened opportunities of rapid growth for human being in the universe. But it appears that it has given rise to complex problems of unbridled and uncontrolled exploitation of nature and mankind, with the result that we find extreme inequality, poverty, hunger and destruction around us. Due to modern economic development, the world is passing through a great turbulence. Today what we see happening in different parts of the world is most unexpected. Man has lost his mental peace due to extreme consumerism. Since economics is not concerned with ethics, it aims at fulfilment of desire, but does not care for the innate moral instinct of human beings.

We forget that there are problems of physical, social, ethical and spiritual that cannot be solved by money. If no check is put on the accumulation of money by individuals, the social problem of inequality is bound to become acute dissatisfaction in the society making rich more richer, poor more poorer. Natural resources being limited, we have to put a check on utilization of them for sustainable development.

So time has come to give a u-turn to the prevalent economic

vils are not alien to human society from time immemorial.

They are very much alive and active in the world.

They are often attributed to people who are proved for the wrong acts in the categories and conventions of human. Most of the evils that we see in and around us are often labelled to the weak, the fragile, and thevulnerable.But, what about the vast majority of powerful people who solemnly walk on our streets in selfrighteous collars? There are people surrounding our vicinity who appear as saints butthey are the real culprits who make others’ lives miserable. False messiahs are appearing like the growth spurt experienced during the teenage years, bringing disharmony in the social fabric of life. We are getting ruined day by day and many things are collapsing. The systems are corroded with the hypocrisy of the white washed tombs.

Who is responsible for the ruined economy? They are the rich people who have forgotten the world

thinking so that mankind may find lasting peace, solace, safety and security. What is desirable is striking a balance between the two which means acquiring wealth without being dishonest and cruel in economic behaviour. Morality, spirituality and humanity cannot be separated. Economics of nonviolence can only be practiced if economics of morality exists.

This gives the birth of the idea of Relative Economics which can be considered a branch of economics which studies money with the relation of compassion and charity.

The father of theory of relative, Albert Einstein, gave the famous formula in the field of physical sciences in form of E = MC2 to show that energy and matter are interchangeable. This formula can be explained in the field of stressmanagement in the form of E = MC2 i.e. Equanimity = Money x Compassion x Charity.

90 per cent of stress arises from a blind race for acquiring money. There is a cut-throat competition in this race leading to cruelty, violence and exploitation throwing away all moral values.

This has to be combated with compassion, the mother of all human virtues. The second cause of trouble is the tendency to hoard and possess and not to give and distribute. This has to be combated through the virtue of charity which means joy of giving which is the anti-dot of the choking situation of a miserly person. Charity presupposes an attitude of detachment towards money.

Money is the basic need of life lent cruelty and together with miserliness is not only anti-life but lent anti-social also. Money when related to compassion and charity forms the foundation-stone of that holistic approach to life which provides remedy for not only physical but psychological diseases also, or to be more accurate, to all psychomatic diseases, because all diseases are psychomatic.

they live in. They forgot the stage that they are in for a temporary basis. Everywhere we turn our heads around, we hear the cry of people, wanting to be loved and cared and be secured.

There are thieves and robbers who queue our streets in fashionable cars and attires. The society of ours unfortunately hail them as heroes and modelsfor fear and not out of respect.

The loss of morality is not a concern anymore. The sense of Christian ethics in having option for the poor and neglected are topics sidelined. The poor are the victims of the rich who buy and abuse them. The poor are left with no option other than to oblige, to keep their families going. How many people hire the poor maids and exploit them? Women are raped, forced into prostitutions, made escorts for the so-called heroes of the day. You might ask, who am I to question you? You are right in doing it. But you have no right to exploit the people who are weak. Fight with your equals and uplift the lowly and then you will

r. GG (Name changed) first came into the fold of his journey with treatment when he, his wife and their two sons were registered with the Care and Support Centre Sanjoe Society Dimapur on the 12th of January, 2015. This would seem a positive milestone for the family but it was sadly marred by the passing of his wife, who it was found, was already in the last stage of her AIDS diagnosis.

One cannot begin to fathom the unbearable heartbreak Mr. GG must have felt in his loss, and even more so knowing that his two sons, aged five and two years, would have to grow up without their mother right from the outset of a life which was already anything but ideal, in light of their HIV-positive status. Mr. GG, at this point is his life hung at a precarious edge where he had to now single-handedly look after for his two young children, all the while having to deal with the turmoil within himself at the loss of his wife, and the overwhelming guilt he felt for having transmitted the virus to his children. It was, perhaps this guilt and what seemed to him like a losing battle against death that stopped him from revealing his HIV-status to members of his extended family, and seeking their care and support. It was also during this period that Mr. GG was at the stage of his illness where he had to start his Anti-Retroviral Treatment. But as he receded into himself and spiraled into a labyrinth of depression, guilt and despair, his physical health also began to deteriorate with increasingly frequent episodes of disorientation, slurring in his speech, diarrhea, persistent fevers, oral thrush that restricted his food intake, and the invariable weight-loss. His condition was exacerbated by this acute awareness within himself that he was failing in his responsibilities as a father to his two young sons, the elder of whom had had to leave school due to financial constraints, and as a son to his ailing mother who lived with them.

Mr. GG’s ordeal was as

much a battle to survive for his children and mother, a battle against the illness ravaging his body, as an emotional and mental battle against the assaults on this very will to survive.

Understandably, he found himself distancing himself from all social fronts. However, as he found out soon enough, in the midst of all his troubles and pain, his journey towards recuperation and the first step towards rebuilding his life had already been taken when he had registered himself and his family with the Care and Support Centre. Following the clinical diagnosis and detection of his Opportunistic Infections and Tuberculosis, the centre liaised with the Holistic Care Centre through which Mr. GG was inducted into a comprehensive treatment regime with the crucial nutritional support being provided. Further, half of the expenses for his treatment were borne by the Holistic Care Centre providing a significant relaxation from having to bear the full financial burden. In a positively expected turn of events, Mr. GG began to show signs of improvement as he began to regain some of his strength and also there was notable change in his disposition as well. Mr. GG seemed to have gained a new lease on life, having weathered the worst of ordeals physically, mentally and emotionally. During the three-week stay at the Holistic Care Centre, DOTS and ART treatments were started, and these had the desired impact on Mr. GG. After he left the Holistic Care Centre, home visits were regularly carried out by the Care and Support Centre Out Reach Workers who, having observed the needs of Mr. GG’s two sons, particularly in regard to their schooling, went on to make appeals for financial support from local resources. This resulted in a bank account being opened in the children’s name, with the assistance of the Care and Support Centre. In a step further, permission was sought after from the elder son’s school to have him re-enrolled with exemption for the long-absence and the

be real heroes. How many sermons and public talks are with angelic tongues but the actions are full of evil? A thought to ponder!

The society in which we live is corroding. The word of God does not take root. If it were so, there will not be evils that we see.

How many of the teachers are deprived of their salaries for months? Who is responsible? The self-exalted leaders who promise a land flowing with milk and honey are running the show of the day, causing misery for others. For such leaders let them be careful of what they do. They are ruining the society.

Their selfishness whichcause tears and sorrows in the lives of thousands will not go unrewarded.

Oh foolish human beings, who think of themselves to be immortals? Have a pause and think of your accumulation that will not follow you below!

The present society of ours which does not allow the capable to occupy the stage will see its downfall. Seasoned people

are messing much! People who keep accumulating and stop relating are the most foolish people in the world.

They hoard for unknown people. They parade to and fro looking for human approval not knowing that they are cursed every time they pass by.

Why did Hitler a devout Catholic become such an evil? The reason is that he could not tolerate the Jews who were progressing at the cost of the Germans.

Can this kind of a situation not rise in our land? There is violence and killing everywhere! Why? People are frustrated. They cannot compete in a healthy way.

They have no money. Nagas are governed for too long by leaders who are immoral, insincere, look for profit at the cost of the poor and downtrodden. Better start digging your grave and also a garage and perhaps a box full of money and rot together!

Remember, the Right to Information (RTI) is gaining prominence slowly.

This is something that NarendraModi himself fears.

Any person becoming rich unusually can be questioned to disclose the secret of their wealth. This can be very well applied in the context of the village councils who would be made to disclose every detail of the village fund. They are bound by the law to answer. In every district RTIs are set-up.

Any citizen of this country can approach them and ask about the information of course within the protocol.

The present demonetizing of the higher value currency is a nightmare for people who have accumulated too long from public fund. Of course, there are people who seem to have known well ahead and taken precautionary measures. But they will not run too far.

Someday, they will be in the soup. The landing of the private chartered plane at Dimapur Airport speaks volume about the hidden activities of people. Many more perhaps are on the rise!

Evils that we see and experienced are not beyond the physical realm. It very much originates from hu-

DBA rejoinder to K. Angami on UCC

propos “Uniform Civil Code (UCC)”

by K.Angami published in Nagaland Post dated 18/11/16, the Dimapur Bar Association feels constrained to clarify the matter by issuing this rejoinder. That Art.368 of the Constitution of India empowers the Parliament to amend any provisions of the Constitution by way of addition, variation or repeal. Therefore, if Uniform Civil Code is enacted, Art.371A shall be amended appropriately unless Nagaland is excluded from the purview of the Act.

Hence, Dimapur Bar Association convened the public discourse, thereupon, the Nagaland Tribes Council was gracious enough by shouldering the responsibility in making the representation to the appropriate authority requesting to save the provisions of Art. 371A. Hence, it is clarified that construing a particular provisions of the Constitution in isolation of the others, shall result into fallacious conclusion, in as much as, different provisions of the Constitution are to be read with other relevant provisions of the

Constitution so as to arrive at a correct interpretation. The Uniform Civil Code, if enacted, the same shall require amendment of Art.371A, unless, Nagaland is excluded from the purview of the Act. Once, the law is enacted by the Parliament in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution, the question of Nagaland Legislative Assembly to pass a resolution adopting or denouncing the enforcement of the Act in Nagaland does not arise, unless, empowered under the Act .

The assertion of

K.Angami that parliamentary laws are not applicable in Nagaland unless our legislatures give their approval appears to be fallacious interpretation of the Constitution, like glimpse on only one side of the coin without knowing as to what is there on other side.

Therefore, this rejoinder is issued in order to clarify the facts relating to the interpretation of the relevant provisions of the Constitution so as to void misleading the innocent readers.

admission fees which were due.

As headways were made in the education of his two children, Mr. GG saw through the completion of his Anti-Tuberculosis Treatment and was able to commence with his regular ART treatment.

The Care and Support Centre continued to support his family and Mr. GG now visits the centre with his two sons regularly. With each visit, seeing this family of three is a constant reminder that no matter the depths that HIV/ AIDS can plunge a person and whole families into, despite how irreparable it may seem, there is always hope and a light at the end of the long and painfully dark tunnel. It is a beautiful privilege that the Care and Support Centre and the Holistic Care Centre are able to have a role in helping such individuals and families in helping them see the light and a real blessing in being able to traverse every up and down with them.

There is no denying that the normalcy of life for these individuals and families attains a whole new dimension, with their lives having to revolve around their treatment and their treatment schedules determining how they plan out their days, but if there is anything that one must take away from the real life stories of defeat and gradual triumph, like that of Mr. GG, it is that a person’s HIVstatus will never become who he or she is. Despite how the illness completely blankets the person’s entire being, it is not indefinite.

The very essence of the person is an indomitable part of who he or she is and no illness can ever extinguish that. The battle against the illness is a battle to rescue this essence and help the person find himself or herself amidst all the darkness, which can be always navigated with the right kind of care, support and a healthy dose of love and empathy.

Mr. GG and his sons are navigators now. And they would surely tell you, or better yet, show you that you can be one too.

man person, conceived in the secret chamber of the human brain well ahead of time. Society of ours feel the small doers of evil as great obstacles for human progress. But, remove the big cats in our society and see the difference, the smaller thieves will disappear.

Evils are often attributed to satanic worshippers but actually those who create misery in the lives of others are the real evils.

These false messiahs continue to dance in the shadow of death. My fellow brethren, lets remind ourselves of what lies after death. It will help all of us to live a better life. The life-giving force in us will escape our body someday. Never forget this!

However we fool people, we can’t fool ourselves and God. We will all be judged accordingly!

Prepare for a good death every day because the hours are numbered.

Begin the final countdown even as you read.

Beauty of God’s creation

Sir,

Reservation is necessary only when a tribe or group is backward. Naga Women do not need to call themselves backward that they need reservations in Civil Polls. It is not necessary to force our women into Civil Polls with reservation. They are capable of competing in any field be it religious or secular, elections or non-election. Asking for reservation is belittling the women. Feeling inferior should be done away.

Let us not forget that the functions of woman and man are different from each other both physically and biologically though may not be intellectually. Woman cannot be man and man cannot be woman. This does not make any person inferior nor superior. This is simply the beauty of God’s creation.

Rev. Dr. Thupuo Nyekha

Reader’s note: Articles or letters published in any of the columns do not reflect the view of this newspaper nor that of the Editor in any manner.

NEW DELHI, NOV 24 (PTI): The Modi government today asserted in the Supreme Court that the “bold move” of demonetisation would eradicate black money and slush funds operating since Independence which cast a “parallel economy” hitting the poor and the middle class.

The Centre, which filed an affidavit on demonetisation, said the decision on which a total secrecy was maintained, would now help in proper implementation of the ambitious ‘Jan Dhan Yojana’ under which around 22 crore bank accounts for poor people have been opened as reports of unscrupulous elements using these accounts to convert their black money into white surfaced.

Further, demonetisation is seen as a check on the real estate sector where prices get pushed up artificially, reducing the availability of affordable housing for the poor and the middle class.

Elaborating on several measures including the

“thrust” given for increasing digital payments in the economy through credit and debit cards, internet banking, mobile apps and e-wallets, the Centre said their use has seen a jump of nearly 300 per cent in the last 10 days.

In its affidavit, the Centre also gave reasons for maintaining secrecy about the move which was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi just after 8 PM on November 8 and came into force from the midnight.

“The gigantic dimensions and possibilities of compromising on secrecy were taken into consideration. If elaborate prior arrangement for distribution of new currency notes were made prior to the announcement of the scheme, the very objective of the scheme would have been defeated. Further, the scheme impacts several sectors in the short-term but promises large benefits in the economy in the medium-term,” the affidavit said.

The affidavit, filed a day before a crucial hear-

Thomas takes on TR Zeliang govt (From p-1) Thomas regretted that when he raised relevant issues on 33% women reservation vis-à-vis Article 371A, the CMO instead made him the issue.

When Thomas said he was going to walk out, chief minister T.R.Zeliang wanted to know whether he was in opposition or ruling since the DAN still considered him (Thomas) to be part of DAN. To this, Thomas said he didn’t mind being in opposition and speak on behalf of Nagas and to protect their interest.

“Today, I’ll walk out alone, but Nagas will walk the talk with me”, said Thomas.

Expectedly, yet against strong tide of opposition from tribal hohos and other organisations, the NPF-led DAN government adopted and passed a unanimous resolution by voice vote, to revoke the September 22, 2012 resolution by the 11th Nagaland Legislative Assembly.

Discussion on PIL by LH (From p-1) concentrate more on the PIL issue as Article 371 (A) has to be fought in court.

He said Nagaland Petroleum & Natural Gas (NP&NG) rules was framed through a resolution passed by NLA under provisions of Article 371 (A).

However the ministry of home affairs in May 2013, wrote letter to state government stating that Article 371 (A) did not confer legislative powers to the NLA on regulation and development of mineral oil and that the resolution passed by NLA in July 2010 was unconstitutional and invalid.

However Dr Aier said resolution of Nagaland Petroleum & Natural Gas (NP&NG)rules and regulations was passed by Nagaland Legislative Assembly in 2012 as was in the constitution and empowered and enshrined in the Article 371 (A).

He said in 2015, Lotha Hoho filed PIL in Gauhati High Court Kohima bench challenging the constitutional validity of the Nagaland Petroleum & Natural Gas (NP&NG) rules and regulations 2012.

He said it was a direct support to the letter of MHA and which would tantamount to like “surrendering our own rights voluntarily to the central government”.

To this, BJP member Mmhonlumo Kikon sought clarification about what exactly was meant by “rights being surrendered” by the PIL, when the case was subjudice? He said that Article 371 (A) can be changed or amended only by the parliament and not by either PIL or scaremongers.

Aier said on September 9, 2015, a counter affidavit was filed against the PIL by the secretary ministry petroleum and natural gas, as directed by the Gauhati High Court, Kohima Bench, stating that Nagaland does not have any power to make laws on development of oil fields and mineral resources.

He said considering all these due to the PIL, state government was not in a position to carry out the exploration and extraction works now.

Kikon also sought clarification as to when was the permit awarded to Metropolitan Oil and Gas Private Limited and

whether if issued in 2013 why did it not start any work till date?

He also pointed out that the letter from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and the Petroleum ministry came later while the PIL was filed in October 2015.

Kikon asked when was the permit issued to the companies to explore oil in various districts, when did the stay order came into force and why was the exploration not executed in Mon, Mokokchung and Wokha during the interim period of more than one year?.

He also asked where did the Rs.20 crore go, which the Counsel for Metropolitan Oil and Gas Private Limited (MOGPL) informed the High Court Bench, as amount spent on the ground for exploration in Wokha when nothing was visible on the ground?

In a vague reply, the parliamentary secretary said the one year was gap as period of installation of machineries and another was a period of confrontation between Lotha people and the court. Also due to stay order, exploration in other districts could not be done.

NBCC lauds clean election initiatives D I M A P U R , N OV 2 4 (NPN): Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC) Clean Election Campaign (CEC) has lauded the village communities and press fraternity for publicly supporting and taking bold initiatives in their own capacities to clean up the mess in election system.

Highlighting the initiatives undertaken towards the CEC movement, the NBCC said Langpangkong Range under Mokokchung came up with a strong resolution, Diezephe village under Dimapur cleaned up the electoral rolls and the press fraternity of Nagaland refrained themselves from publishing support to individual political party candidate. It added that all these were all laudable moves in its CEC movement.

Further, the committee expressed hope that such positive move would go a long way in encouraging not only villages and communities but also individuals and in making state election process work better and make CEC movement a success.

It therefore called upon all stakeholders, communities and individuals to rise up to the occasion and join the movement.

State govt notifies on creation of dedicated SDRF

D I M A P U R , N ov 2 4 (NPN): State government has notified the creation of a dedicated State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) with 240 personnel drawn from the Civil Defence & Home Guards (CD&HG) for providing timely and effective response to any disaster that could affect the state.

Meanwhile, ACAUT said it condemned the “discriminatory tactics” of the Finance department for denying TA entitlement of lower cadres such as constables etc., after retirement despite the Office Memorandum issued on 25th November 2013.

ACAUT said it was shocking to learn that the lower cadre police personnel, being the backbone of any police force, were being denied their TAs, while the high ranked officers do not face such problem after retirement.

“If this problem persists, insubordination and gross indiscipline in the ranks cannot be ruled out in the near future having dire consequences,” ACAUT said, and asked “where has all these money gone?

“We cannot tolerate deliberate targeting of innocent civilians, particularly children and women, the ambulances and the civilian transport,” Nawaz Sharif said.

“Pakistan has exercised maximum restraint despite the continuing ceasefire violations from the Indian side,” the Prime Minister said.

The Prime Minister called upon the international community to play its active role in defusing tension between the two nations, “which has been deliberately escalated by the Indian side”, said the statement.

The meeting concluded that India was trying to divert the attention of the international community “from the grave human rights violations, massacres and atrocities being committed by the Indian security forces” in Kashmir, it said.

ACAUT takes on teachers, TA issue

ISLAMABAD, NOV 24 (IANS): Pakistan on Thursday stepped up its anti-India rant with the military chiefs, including outgoing Army chief General Raheel Sharif, threatening that the armed forces were capable of teaching India “a lesson” if the border tension escalates.

Just days ahead of his retirement, General Sharif said that India had staged a “drama” of surgical strikes.

“If India conducts a surgical strike we will give such a lesson that will be taught in India Army courses,” according to an ISPR statement.

The comments from the army chief, who is on his farewell tour, came a day after Pakistan claimed that 13 people, including three soldiers, were killed in Indian firing along the Line of Control. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif also convened a high-level meeting to review the situation at the Line of Control, as Pakistan’s Air Chief of Staff, Air Chief Marshal Sohail Aman and Naval Chief Admiral Zakaullah joined in hitting out at India. Pakistan has shown utmost restraint in the face of Indian belligerence and will not tolerate India’s “deliberate targeting” of civilians and ambulances, Nawaz Sharif was quoted as saying in a statement from

NEW DELHI, NOV 24 (PTI): The National Human Rights Commission has issued a notice to the Tamil Nadu government for alleged medical negligence by a hospital in Chennai in wrongly diagnosing a woman as pregnant.

The NHRC has taken suo motu cognisance of a November 23 media report about the incident wherein the 28-year-old woman was first wrongly diagnosed as pregnant by Kasturi Bai Government General Maternity Hospital, and after eight months was diagnosed to have a tumour instead.

ing, contended that “no serious attempt at this scale has been attempted in the past” and in the “two attempts made in 1946 and 1978, the scale of operation was not as expansive due to the sheer size of the cash component in the economy”.

Justifying the decision to do away with Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 notes which constituted 80 to 85 per cent of the cash flow, the affidavit, settled by Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi, said, “The withdrawal of existing high denomination banknotes will curb funding of terrorists with the proceeds of FICN (fake Indian currency notes) and use of existing FICN network for subversive activities.”

“It will eliminate black money which casts long shadow of the parallel economy on our real economy. The poor and middle class, who are worst sufferers due to black money, will be benefited. It will reduce tax avoidance and bring more transactions into the formal economy,” it said.

Sebi said that by amending some of the rules, soon it would allow foreign portfolio investors to invest in unlisted debt securities and securitised debt instruments. This decision was taken to attract inflows into India’s debt market and it was in line with a recent announcement by the RBI. In the last couple of years, easy accessibility of funds for entrepreneurs to start new businesses has been one of the focus areas for the Modi government.

Sebi chairman U K Sinha too has been pushing this initiative. One of Sebi’s key decisions has been to start a new listing platform for startups.

Sebi, in its board meeting, has allowed angel funds to invest in startups incorporated within five years before the day of investment, up from three years. Sebi also said that an investment by an angel fund would be locked-in for one year, down from three years. It allowed angel funds to invest in overseas venture capital undertakings up to 25% of their investible corpus.

Coimbatore, Nov 24 (PTI): SBI Chairperson Arundhati Bhattacharya today claimed that nearly Rs.1.20 lakh crore has been deposited during the last 15 days after demonetisation of high denomination notes.

Replying to a specific question on the impact of demonetisation on the bank’s performance, Bhattacharya told reporters tonight at the city airport that about Rs 1.20 lakh crore has been deposited by the public during the 15 days.

Asked about the performance during this quarter, in view of this sudden surge of deposits, she said the performance will be better and the bank would be doing good business, since one-third of the total amount deposited after demonetisation was in SBI. About the problem of availability of Rs.100 and Rs.500 notes, Bhattacharya said as far as Rs.100 notes were concerned, there were a lot of currencies available.

However, people were not not keen on spending and bothered about exchange and depositing high value currency, she claimed.

“Yes. Rs.500, lack of it has been an issue. However with supply being strengthened by RBI, the problem will be solved in a few days.We are going to put the 500 notes in all our recalibrated ATMs so that the people can utilise it,” she said.

the US Fed and rupee volatility following the domestic demonetization drive to curb black money added to the pressure, dealers said.

The dollar Index was trading lower by 0.20 per cent against a basket of six currencies.

In the overseas market, the dollar hovered near fresh 13-year highs today before backing down slightly after solid US economic indicators and Federal Reserve meeting minutes underpinned speculation for an interest rate rise. Market sentiment soured after foreign funds net sold shares of Rs 1,023.12 crore yesterday, as per provisional figures.

Meanwhile, RBI today fixed the reference rate for the dollar at 68.65 and euro at 72.38. In crosscurrency trades, the rupee fell against the the pound sterling to settle at 85.73 from 84.98 yesterday, but recovered against the euro to close at 72.68 from 72.91 yesterday.

The home unit also firmed up against the Japanese yen to finish at 60.82, from 61.75 per 100 yens.

In the forward market, premium for the dollar dropped further owing to sustained receivings from exporters. The benchmark six-month premium for April drifted to 85.5-89 paise, from 106-108 paise previously, and the far- forward October 2017 contract also dropped further to 230-233 paise from 254-256 paise.

Meanwhile, the Sensex fell 191.64 points, or 0.74 per cent, to close at 25,860.17.

Mumbai, Nov 24 (PTI): The rupee went into a free fall today as it slumped for the fifth session and even hit an all-time low of 68.86 against the dollar as the demonetization after-effect played out and concerns grew about a possible Fed rate hike in the near term.

However, a suspected RBI intervention stemmed the slide of the rupee, which recovered partially to end the day at 68.73 -- a 39month closing low.

If the same trend continues, analysts say, the rupee may even touch the 70 level in the near future.

The r upee opened lower at 68.74 per dollar as against yesterday’s closing level of 68.56 at the forex market and dropped to an all-time low of 68.86 before ending at 68.73. As the rupee plunged to a record low today, the finance ministry stepped in and said it is closely monitoring the currency movement.

The impact of the note ban, continued foreign outflows, a stronger dollar overseas and rising yields in the US continued to cast their shadow on the rupee.

The rupee had dropped 91 paise, or 1.34 per cent, in five trading days. The domestic unit was last seen at this level when it traded at 68.85 intra-day and ended 68.80 on August 28, 2013.

New Delhi, Nov 24 (IANS): The government on Thursday extended the last date for use of the denotified Rs 500 notes till December 15, and stopped the over-thecounter exchange of cash with immediate effect.

According to the Ministry of Finance, Rs 1,000 notes would no longer be allowed to be used for the list of exemptions the government had announced. These notes can, however, be deposited in bank accounts. “It has been observed that overthe-counter exchange of the old currency notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 denomination has shown a declining trend.

It has further been felt that people may be encouraged and facilitated to deposit their old Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes in their bank accounts,” the Ministry said in a statement.

“This will encourage people who are still unbanked to open new bank accounts. Consequently, there will be no over-thecounter exchange of old Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes after midnight of November 24,” it added. Originally, the government had permitted the exchange of denotified Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes up to a limit of Rs 4,000, which was increased to Rs 4,500 five days later, only to be slashed to Rs 2,000 on November 17. According to the RBI, the scheme to exchange notes was valid till December 30.

dia account. The construction of two 1,000-megawatt coal-fired power units at the Ganneng Fengcheng power station began last July and was expected to be completed by early 2018, the local Yichun city government said on a verified social media account last year.

The expansion was budgeted to cost a total of 7.67 billion yuan (now $1.1 billion), it added.

The main investor for a previous expansion project at the plant suspended trading in its shares on the Shenzhen stock exchange Thursday afternoon, stating

that “significant events” that could not be disclosed could impact its share price.

Its shares had fallen 3.41 percent by midday.

Industrial accidents are common in China, where safety standards are often laxly enforced.

In August a pipeline explosion at a coal-fired power plant in the neighbouring province of Hubei killed 21. Earlier this summer more than 130 people were taken to hospital after chemicals leaked from a plant in eastern China.

In April a chemical fire burned for 16 hours in the

coastal province of Jiangsu after an explosion at a facility storing chemicals and fuel, requiring 400 firefighters to quell the flames.

Last December, the collapse of a gypsum mine in the eastern province of Shandong left one person dead and 13 others unaccounted for, with four miners only rescued after being trapped underground for 36 days. A total of 19 people had been found responsible for the incident, Xinhua said Thursday, with three managers arrested and 16 other local officials “punished”.

South Korea president impeachment vote in December, say Lawmakers

China asks Xinjiang residents to surrender passport

SEOUL, Nov 24 (Agencies): A vote to impeach South Korea’s scandal-hit president could take place as early as next week, lawmakers said on Thursday.

A growing number of ruling party politicians have endorsed the opposition-led campaign to oust President Park Geun-Hye over the scandal involving her friend Choi Soon-Sil, who leveraged their mysterious ties in milking business companies for cash and peddling influence. “We will seek to vote on the impeachment motion as early as December 2, and no later than December 9,” Woo Sang-Ho, floor leader of the main opposition Democratic Party, was quoted as saying by Yonhap news agency. A senior ruling Saenuri Party lawmaker also said the impeachment move would be put to a parliamentary vote by December 9.

Opposition parties had been hesitant in pushing through an impeachment motion that requires twothirds support, although they enjoy a combined working majority at the 300-seat parliament.

But the move gathered

BEIJING, Nov 24 (PTI): China has ordered all residents in its Muslim-majority Xinjiang province to surrender their passports in a bid to “maintain social order” and prevent them from moving abroad, days after the Communist nation tightened rules to suppress religious freedom in the restive region.

The northwestern Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region has tightened passport regulations, requiring all residents to hand in their passports to local police for examination and management, state-run Global Times reported today.

All citizens in Aksu prefecture are required to hand their passports - private or official - to local police stations, the daily reported quoting an anonymous police officer. “Anyone who needs the passport must apply to the police station,” the official said, adding that the new passport management policy is implemented throughout Xinjiang.

The Public Security Bureau in Shihezi city gave the same directive last month saying it was for “annual examination” purposes.

steam when former head of the ruling party Kim Moo-Sung jumped into the fray Wednesday, declaring Park must be impeached for breaching the constitution.

More than 30 Saenuri lawmakers support Park’s impeachment, with 29 needed to cross party lines for the motion to be passed.

If the vote is successful it would be the first time in 12 years that South Korea’s parliament has impeached a president.

Park has issued public apologies and also promised to submit herself to an expanding probe by state prosecutors, as well as a separate investigation by an

independent special prosecutor to be appointed by parliament.

Prosecutors said on Sunday Park had colluded with Choi, branding the president a “co-culprit”.

They said Park would be probed as a suspect, pushing to interrogate her directly -- a move which would make her the first sitting South Korean president to be quizzed by prosecutors. Park’s lawyer has dismissed the probe’s findings as a “house of cards” built on “imagination and guesswork”, declaring she would not submit herself to the “politically-biased” prosecutors’ questioning.

UN accuses Myanmar of ethnic cleansing desh’s official policy is not to allow in illegal entrants across the border, the foreign ministry has confirmed that thousands of Rohingyas have already sought refuge in Bangladesh. Thousands more are reportedly gathering on the border.

Efforts to resolve the issue must focus on “the root cause” inside Myanmar, Mr McKissick, head of the UN refugee agency UNHCR in the Bangladeshi border town of Cox’s Bazar told BBC Bengali’s

Akbar Hossain.

He said the Myanmar military and Border Guard Police had “engaged in collective punishment of the Rohingya minority” after the murders of nine border guards on 9 October which some politicians blamed on a Rohingya militant

group.

Security forces have been “killing men, shooting them, slaughtering children, raping women, burning and looting houses, forcing these people to cross the river” into Bangladesh, Mr McKissick said.

New York, Nov 24 (IANS): Nikki Haley’s historic appointment to a cabinet-rank post by Republican President-elect Donald Trump that caps the election of five Indian Americans to Congress this year has been welcomed by the community as a sign of its political emergence.

Shalabh Kumar, the founder of the Republican Hindu Coalition, described South Carolina governor’s appointment as United Nations Ambassador as the “Third Diwali” after the festival itself and Trump’s election. Echoing a broad sentiment among community leaders IANS spoke to, he said it was a “proud moment for Indian Americans”.

Shekhar Narasimhan, a Democratic Party activist and fundraiser, said her appointment “shows that we have made it” as a community. “We don’t have to agree on everything, on policy, but we can celebrate the fact that we now have a place at the most important table in Washington, the cabinet,” he said.

The job of US Permanent Representative, or

Nikki Haley

ambassador, to the UN is a cabinet-level position unlike in most countries and goes to political appointees because of its high visibility in the global arena.

Narasimhan said another sign of the community’s growing influence in US politics is the number of Indian American members of Congress going up from one to five in this year’s elections -- all of them Democrats.

Of them, Kamala Harris, is the first Indian American elected to the senate.

A.D. Amar, President of ‘Indian Americans for Trump’, said Haley has achieved the status she deserves and it is good for India and the community.

One of the pioneers of

non-partisan community activism, Thomas Abraham, said: “It is a historic moment for the IndianAmerican community that one of its own has been appointed to a top-level position.”

“As a deal-maker, she will do very well to negotiate terms with UN membercountries,” said Abraham, who is now the Chairman of the Global Organisation of People of Indian Origin (GOPIO) International and has been working for about 40 years to get Indian Americans to become politically active.

Harpreet Sandhu, executive director of the Friends of the American Sikh Caucus, said he was especially excited because Haley is a daughter of Punjab.

Trump said he would be inclusive as President and her appointment shows he is living up to it, Sandhu said.

Deepak Kavadia, the founder of the New Yorkbased Non-Resident Indians Federation, said, “Trump has said that he would support Indian Americans, and this is his first step in keeping his word.”

Nepal bans new Rs 500 and Rs 2,000 notes KATHMANDU, NOV 24 (AGENCIES): At a time when Nepalese citizens are facing problems in exchanging withdrawn Indian notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 denomination, the country’s central bank on Thursday banned the exchange of India’s new Rs 500 and Rs 2,000 currency notes.

The Ne pal Rastra Bank said the new Indian notes cannot be exchanged until the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) issues a new notification under the Foreign Exchange Management Act. Such a notification allows citizens of foreign countries to hold a

certain amount in Indian currency, officials said.

Ramu Poudel, the Nepal Rastra Bank’s chief for the eastern region, told members of the business community in Biratnagar that the new Indian rupees are considered “illegal” and cannot be exchanged until new arrangements are made by the Indian side.

“As of now, our understanding with the Reserve Bank of India is that a Nepali citizen can hold up to Indian Rs 25,000 (in the) old Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes. Even the fate of those old notes is uncertain, how can these new Indian

F E L I C I TAT I O N

DP-9523(A)

notes coming into the market be considered as legal?”

Poudel said.

Indian currency is widely accepted in Nepal, where many people have been facing problems in exchanging the old Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes. Due to the open border between the two countries, the new Indian notes too have entered areas along the border with India.

Nepal and India are yet to reach an agreement on modalities for the exchange of the withdrawn notes held by Nepalese citizens. Poudel said the two central banks are in

close contacts to address this issue but no way out has been found as yet.

The Ne pal Rastra Bank set up a task force to prepare guidelines for exchanging the withdrawn Indian currency notes. It handed over some guidelines to the Indian side through the Indian embassy of Kathmandu.

Officials said the Nepalese side had suggested that authorities could collect the withdrawn Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes from Nepalese citizens and send them to the RBI for verification and exchange into Nepali currency.

L on don, N ov 2 4 (Agencies): Myanmar is seeking the ethnic cleansing of the Muslim Rohingya minority from its territory, a senior UN official has told the BBC. Armed forces have been killing Rohingya in Rakhine state, forcing many to flee to neighbouring Bangladesh, says John McKissick of the UN refugee agency.

The government of Myanmar, also known as Burma, has been conducting counter-insurgency operations since coordinated attacks on border guards in October.

It denies reports of atrocities.

Burmese officials say Rohingyas are setting fire to their own houses in northern Rakhine state.

The BBC cannot visit the area to verify what is occurring there as journalists and aid workers have been barred.

The Rohingya, who number about one million, are seen by many of Myanmar’s Buddhist majority as illegal migrants from Bangladesh.

Although Bangla-

Islamabad, NOV 24 (Agencies): Militant group Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) has described US President-elect Donald Trump as a man of bad character and a threat to Muslims across the world.

In a message to its followers in Pakistan and elsewhere, the JeM said it has issued a warning to Muslims worldwide to beware of Donald Trump.

Writing in the Pakistanbased Al Qalam Weekly (November 18-24, 2016), JeM ideologues - Maulana Mansoor Ahmad and Talhe As-Saif - have stated that while the international media has used Trump`s victory to create fear among Muslims, this victory was actually depressing for the United States itself, rather than for the rest of the world. They said that the same is evident from the protests being held in many states in the United States against Trump`s election as the next president.

Analysing the personality of Trump, As-Saif said that the three important aspects of the former are that he is a man of `bad character`, temperamental and emotional, and anti-Islam.

B E I J I N G , N ov 2 4 (Agencies): At least 67 people were killed when part of a power station under construction in China collapsed on Thursday, state media reported, the latest industrial accident in a country with a dismal safety record.

A cooling tower platform plunged to the ground in the early hours, trapping an unknown number of people beneath it, the official Xinhua news agency said.

State broadcaster CCTV put the toll at 67, with local reports saying one person was still missing and two others injured.

Pictures of the scene in Fengcheng, in the central province of Jiangxi, showed a grey mass of concrete slabs, steel girders and twisted metal splayed in a heap on the ground inside a large round structure.

Hard-hatted rescue workers in neon jumpsuits carried bodies out from the site on stretchers wrapped in orange sheeting.

A total of 32 fire engines and 212 military personnel had been deployed to the scene, the Jiangxi provincial fire department said on a verified social me-

Dear Parents/ Guardians, With immense pleasure I take this opportunity to announce the introduction of our new curriculum (XSEED) at Spring Blossoms Academy.

The Introduction of a revisal primary curriculum from the existing one to XSEED curriculum is a significant educational development at our school which is designed to cater for the needs of children in the modern world.

It incorporates new content, embraces new approaches and methodologies and represents a process of revision that is both evolutionary and developmental. The XSEED 5-step experiential learning approach (AIM, ACTIVITY, ANALYSE, APPLY, ASSESS) was designed after over five years of research by alumni from Harvard, Cambridge, MIT and IIM Ahmedabad. It’s developed to align with international standard and syllabus of various boards, including the CBSE and ICSE education boards of India.

I wish to place on record my deep appreciation to thank all parents, teachers and well wishers those who were involved and have supported us in this development of adapting the new curriculum.

claimed 85 wickets in 141 One-Day Internationals and managed a total of 405 runs and 3 wickets in 15 T20s.

Rolton said in an ICC release: “It’s with great honour that I accept this award of being inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.

To be acknowledged like this is something that I never expected and am truly grateful to be listed amongst some of my all-time cricketing heroes.” “Cricket has been a part of my life since I can remember. From growing up in Adelaide and playing backyard cricket with my brother to captaining my state and country. It’s been a childhood dream and one that I’m grateful for.”

“I’d like to thank Cricket Australia, my team-mates over the years and most importantly my parents for supporting me playing crick-

et as a junior and right until the end of my career,” she added. “Finally, thank you to the ICC for inducting me into the Hall of Fame and your ongoing support of women’s cricket.”

Richardson said: “Karen had a long and successful career which saw several high points, including a century in an ICC Women’s World Cup final. She proved her class time and again with superb performances.

She was a player women cricketers from around the world looked up to.”

Rolton is first of the four legendary cricketers who will be formally inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame this season.

The other three are Muttiah Muralidharan of Sri Lanka, Australia’s Arthur Morris and England’s George Lohmann.

AIFF forced to relax criteria for new teams in I-League

PANAJI, Nov 24 (Agencies): The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has been forced to opt for a fresh round of tendering to admit new teams in the ILeague after all three bidders failed to meet the tough criteria.

The AIFF had received bids from FC Bardez (Goa), Minerva Academy (Punjab) and Chennai City FC (Tamil Nadu) for direct entry to the I-League. But when the bid evaluation committee opened and studied the bids in Delhi on Wednesday, the committee discovered that none of them could meet the stringent financial requirements. “The AIFF favours companies with a net worth of Rs 500 crore and above. Any company worth less must submit a performance bank guarantee of Rs 100 crore to the AIFF for direct entry. The AIFF will now have to relax the criteria, largely financial, and ensure they have enough teams who make the grade,” said an official.

Sources said the AIFF will issue a fresh tender inviting bids for direct entry on November 25 and keep it open till December 8. The bid evaluation committee will open the bids again and take a final call on December 11.

Barca, Man City enter CL last-16

Messi (No 10) is congratulated on his goal by Neymar and 23-year-old Portugal international midfielder, Andre Gomes (left).

Barcelona, Nov 24 (Agencies): Lionel Messi scored twice as Barcelona cruised into the Champions League round of 16 as Group C winners with a 2-0 defeat of Celtic in Glasgow on Wednesday.

Barcelona humiliated Celtic 7-0 in their first group encounter in September, with Messi scoring a hat trick in the one-sided match at the Camp Nou, and it was the Barca No. 10 who opened his side’s account at Celtic Park, finishing off a sublime move from the Catalans on 24 minutes.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner raced onto a sumptuous lobbed pass behind the defence from Neymar and lashed his firsttime shot past Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon at the near post for a deserving

1-0 lead.

In the second half, Emilio Izaguirre pulled down Luis Suarez inside the Celtic box. Messi then stepped up to the spot and easily put Gordon the wrong way to hand Barca an unassailable 2-0 advantage.

The goal marked Messi’s ninth in four Champions League matches thus far -- and 92nd overall -- placing the Argentine atop the competition’s goal-scoring charts this campaign. Messi nearly added a third in the 68th minute, but his rightfooted shot slid just wide of the far post, but his effort was enough to ensure Celtic finish last in Group C. Manchester City also advanced as Group C runners-up after a 1-1 draw against Bor ussia Monchengladbach, in a

match that saw both sides finish with 10 men.

It was the hosts who struck first, Raffael firing home from the centre of the penalty area in the 23rd minute to give Gladbach an early 1-0 lead. City would get back on level terms just before the break, though, as David Silva poked home from close range after Kevin De Bruyne played an incisive pass across the six-yard box.

Lars Stindl was sent off in the second half after receiving his second yellow card of the match for a hard foul on Nicolas Otamendi.

Twelve minutes later, Fernandinho was shown his second yellow card for a foul on Raffael, leaving both teams to finish the match a man down. Neither team could find the winner though, leaving City secure in second

Steven Gerrard announces retirement LO N DO N , N o v 2 4 (Agencies): Former Liverpool and England captain Steven Gerrard announced his retirement from professional football on Thursday at the age of 36.

Gerrard spent 17 years at his home-town club Liverpool, 12 as captain, and won seven major honours including the 2005 Champions League before finishing his career with an 18-month stint at LA Galaxy.

“Following recent media speculation surrounding my future, I can confirm my retirement from playing professional football,” Gerrard said in a statement.

“I have had an incredible career and am thankful for each and every moment of my time at Liverpool, England and LA Galaxy.”

Gerrard made 114 appearances for England, a tally bettered only by Peter Shilton, Wayne Rooney and

David Beckham, and scored 21 international goals.

He appeared at six major tournaments, captaining England at the 2010 World Cup, Euro 2012 and the 2014 World Cup. Although the Premier League title famously eluded him, he did win two FA Cups, three League Cups, the UEFA Cup, UEFA Super Cup and the Community Shield.

His finest hour came in Istanbul in May 2005, when

he inspired Liverpool to come from 3-0 down against AC Milan at half-time of the Champions League final to win the club’s fifth European Cup. In total he made 710 appearances for Liverpool, scoring 186 goals.

“I feel lucky to have experienced so many wonderful highlights over the course of my career,” Gerrard said.

“I am proud to have played over 700 games for Liverpool, many of which as captain, and to have played my part in helping the club to bring major honours back to Anfield, none more so than that famous night in Istanbul.

“At an international level, I feel privileged to have won 114 England caps and to have had the honour of captaining my country. I will always look back with great pride at every time I pulled on the England shirt.”

place behind Barcelona, while Gladbach move on to the Europa League.

Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain played out an entertaining 2-2 draw in Group A which leaves the top spot up for grabs going into the final round of fixtures in a fortnight.

Unai Emer y’s side controlled the early stages and deservedly opened the scoring in the 18th minute when Blaise Matuidi rolled Shkodran Mustafi and played a ball across the goalmouth for Cavani to slide home. Arsenal looked out of sorts and failed to respond until the 45th minute when they won what looked like a fortunate penalty with Alexis Sanchez adjudged to have been brought down by Grzegorz Krychowiak, and Olivier Giroud converted from the spot.

The Gunners went in front on the hour mark, again in fortuitous circumstances, when Marquinhos’ clearance hit Verratti and beat Areola from close range. PSG refused to give in though and fought back into the game from a Hatem Ben Arfa corner. Moura pulled away from Carl Jenkinson at the back post to direct a header towards goal which was taken away from David Ospina by the head of Alex Iwobi.

Bale ruled out until 2017

M a d r i d, N o v 2 4 (Agencies): Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale will miss next week’s El Clasico against Barcelona after being ruled out up to three months with an ankle injury. Bale sustained the injury during Madrid’s 2-1 win over Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Scans have shown that Bale has damaged the peroneal tendon in his right ankle and will be out for two to three months. The European champions confirmed the winger will undergo an operation next Tuesday at the King Edward VII Hospital in London.

Bale will now miss a number of key matches for Real including this weekend’s league game against Sporting Gijon as well as a midweek Copa del Rey tie against third-tier Cultural Leonesa. Most importantly, however, the Wales forward has been ruled out of the crucial trip to Barcelona on December 3.

Zinedine Zidane’s side currently hold a four-point lead over their rivals at the top of La Liga.

ISL: ATK leaves FC Goa on the brink

Fato r da , N ov 2 4 (Agencies): Atletico de Kolkata maintained its excellent unbeaten record against FC Goa as it scripted a dramatic 2-1 victory to leave FC Goa on the brink of elimination from the Indian Super League at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda on Thursday.

Juan Belencoso gave ATK the lead in the 28th minute but FC Goa equalised through Mandar Rao Desai 10 minutes from time. The visitor however had the last laugh after scoring the matchwinner in the second minute of added time through Stephen Pearson.

The victory took Kolkata to second place with 18 points from 12 matches and almost knocked out FC Goa as the team coached by Zico is at the bottom with 11 points from 12 matches.

Zico welcomed several players who were forced to sit out through suspensions and injuries but it was Atletico de Kolkata which came up with a dominating show in the first session.

Spanish players Javi Lara and Borja Fernandez controlled the midfield while up front Helder Postiga and Juan Belencoso were a constant threat.

It didn’t take long for ATK to exert its influence on the game and the visitor had the first chance in the seventh minute. Abhinash Ruidas sent in a good cross from the left with which Postiga tried to test the goalkeeper. The ball instead deflected and fell for Belencoso but his effort from close range was blocked by the legs of goalkeeper Laxmikant Kattimani.

Kattimani was again in top form when he denied Javi Lara’s angular shot from just inside the box but the Goa goalkeeper could do nothing when Belencoso jumped high to meet a cross from Ruidas in the 28th minute.

Despite being behind, Goa could not create any chances of note. Rafael Coelho’s ambitious overhead kick from a Joffre Gonzalez corner was the closest it got but had Posti-

ga’s header not hit the crossbar from Lara’s corner, it would have been all over for Goa. Even in the second session, Kolkata continued to miss chances. Postiga’s shot after Richarlyson gave the ball away in a dangerous position was saved by Kattimani and Belencoso should have done better in the 60th minute with only the goalkeeper to beat.

The match tur ned interesting in the last 10 minutes after Mandar Rao Dessai scored the equaliser for FC Goa in the 80th minute. The Goa midfielder received the ball just outside the box and unleashed a powerful grounder which beat Kolkata goalkeeper Debjit Majumder.

For the last 10 minutes, FC Goa literally camped in the Kolkata half and allowed space for the visitor to score the match winner in the second minute of added time from a counter-attack. A quickly taken free-kick released Sameehg Doutie and he did well to pick out Pearson for an easy finish.

Cilic, Delbonis to open Davis Cup final ZAGREB, Nov 24 (Agencies): Croatia’s top-ranked player Marin Cilic and Argentine Federico Delbonis will get the 2016 Davis Cup final underway in the tie’s opening singles rubber on Friday, followed by a clash between Ivo Karlovic and Juan Martin Del Potro.

World number six Cilic, the 2014 U.S. Open winner, will start as a strong favourite against Delbonis while Karlovic returns to Croatia’s Davis Cup squad after a four-year absence to face 2009 U.S. Open winner Del Potro. Thursday’s draw in the iconic Vatroslav Lisinski concert hall also pitted Croatia’s Franko Skugor and Ivan Dodig against Leonardo Mayer and Guido Pella in Saturday’s doubles.

Cilic will take on Del Potro and Karlovic is scheduled to face Delbonis in Sunday’s reverse singles.

Croatia, winners in 2005, are bidding for their second title while quadruple runners-up Argentina are looking for their first, standing out as the only nation to have lost four finals without lifting the trophy.
