No strike carried out in Myanmar: Army

KOLKATA, JUN 6 (PTI): Putting to rest reports of a surgical strike in Myanmar against rebels from the North East after an ambush killing six Assam Rifles personnel in Manipur last month, the Army today said sometimes factional fights among insurgent groups were attributed to security forces.

“I must ask you where does this rumour come from?

We respect the sovereignty of all our neighbours. There is no question of going across.......

Nothing has happened. We did no strikes,” Eastern Army Commander Lieutenant General Praveen Bakshi told reporters here when asked to comment on reports of a surgical strike by security forces in neighbouring Myanmar.

He said there were several insurgent groups in Nagaland, Manipur and other places which witnessed inter-group factionalism and rivalry.

“At times (the fights) get attributed to security forces when we have no hand,” Bakshi said, adding they suspected that those responsible for the ambush on May 22, perhaps, were clandestinely finding safe sanctuaries in places other than our own country.

“And to that extent we can only request that such safe sanctuaries not be provided in a spirit of good neighbourhood,” the army commander said.

In June last year, army commandos had carried out a surgical strike at militant camps in Myanmar killing at least 38 Naga insurgents after NSCN(K) killed 18 army personnel in Manipur.

After joining the Eastern Command on August 1 last year, Bakshi’s first visitor was a top army officer from Myanmar. “We are jointly addressing it but you know insurgency knows no boundaries,” he said. On whether there was any lacunae in following the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) by the Assam Rifles convoy which was fatally attacked, he said prima facie there was no lapse.

“In insurgency this can happen anywhere. No matter what precaution you take. Our SOPs are in place. It was only the first vehicle they attacked and before the next vehicle came in, they ran away. So procedures were followed,” he said, adding that every such incident was a wake-up call for them.

When asked whether there are any reports of insurgent groups fuelling unrest in Manipur over the Inner Line Permit System, he said he would not get into the political part, but the Army had full situational awareness in the state.

“And as far as my orders to the commanders on the ground go, it is very clear that anyone go-

Road closure

DIMAPUR, JUN 6 (NPN): PWD (Road & Bridges) has notified that the road stretch from Signal Bazaar to Thahekhu gate would remain closed from 6 p.m. to 5 a.m. from June 7-12, 2016, in view of the ongoing construction. In a notification, the PWD (R&B) Dimapur division executive engineer Huqheto, however, stated that heavy vehicles would not be allowed to ply till further notice. It said road construction cannot be done by working on one lane and opening the other and vice-versa, as this would result in compromise of quality at the construction joints between two lanes.

This is it!

“Sir, backdoor appointments may be illegal but remember the three of us are here because of it.”

‘No recent case of misuse of AFSPA’

Various human rights organisations have long been demanding repeal of the AFSPA which they call a “draconian” law. Manipuri rights activist Irom Chanu Sharmila has been on a fast-unto-death for 15 years demanding its withdrawal.

Defending the imposition of the controversial Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) in the north-east, the Army on Monday said there were no recent cases of misuse of the law in the region.

“In the Eastern Command, during the time I have spent here, there has not been a single incident which has been reported where AFSPA has not been used for the right reason,” eastern army commander, Lt. Gen. Praveen Bakshi said.

He said if there was any breach of AFSPA, it was dealt with firmly by the army.

“If the army is required to handle insurgency, we require AFSPA. If we don’t have AFSPA, our hands are tied and we cannot do our job. It is an enabling provision and not a draconian provision,” he said.

State’s rich ecology at ‘Nagaland Vision 2030’ launched great risk, says Acharya Correspondent

KOHIMA, JUN 6 (NPN): Nagaland Governor, P.B. Acharya has said that the rich and acclaimed floral and faunal diversity of the state was at great risk due to the traditional practices of hunting and jungle burning.

Speaking at the World Environment Day 2016 programme, which was marked with plantation of 42 tree saplings at the Raj Bhavan premises here on Monday evening, the governor, however, lauded that “community conservation initiative” pioneered by the Naga communities and supported by the government establishments was proving to be a lasting solution.

Acharya said that a recent study instituted by the department of environment, forests and climate change, government of Nagaland, showed that over 400 communities/ villages (community conservation areas) in Nagaland were conserving their forests and natural resources that actually accounted for over 1/3rd of the forest cover in the state.

He also said that the recognition and laurels brought to the state by the ‘Amur Conservation Initiative’ was unprecedented. Acharya pointed out that the mass conservation movement has helped in changing the very perception about the Naga society and has also opened a window of opportunity to the local communities in terms of livelihood

(Eco-tourism).

With initiatives like “Animal Adoption Scheme” and upgraded facilities for rescue and rehabilitation of wild animals, the governor said the Nagaland Zoological Park, Rangapahar was emerging as a significant ex-situ conservation initiative of the state government and also serving the purpose of recreation and awareness generation.

Further, Acharya said the state department of environment, forests and climate change, in “one of its kind” initiative, has decided to dedicated the all conservation and plantation activities taken up during the World Environment Day, 2016 to “Save the Girl Child” campaign. (Cont’d on p-7)

In a press release, NPCC through its media cell said “when everything is about to collapse, when almost every department is getting ultimatum from concerned citizens, when backdoor appointments without sanctioned posts are the reason of bankruptcy, when the state’s expectation of funds from NDA are under frustration, when funds that come are misused and mismanaged, when people are facing a drought-like situation due to lack of money circulation, BJP’s national vice president Vinay Saharasbude came and expressed satisfaction in two years’ rule BJP-led NDA and NPF-led BJP-DAN government June 2.”

Congress further stated that when Nagaland was facing the “biggest scam” under MGNREGA and was under demand for impartial inquiry

commission, the BJP vice president lauded Nagaland government for proper utilization of MGNREGA and assured more funds.

Alleging that “Modi has a talent for fooling the people,” the NPCC said he has fooled people in the last election and continued successfully for two years without any ground achievement.

“Some people still believe him although pockets are empty and there are no evidences of development the eyes can see,” stated NPCC. Further, the Congress alleged that minister for PWD has “copied Modi in fooling people about road maintenance fund.”

It stated that budget paper showed maintenance fund for state highways at Rs. 30.85 crore during 2015-16 and the same amount in 2016-17.

“For district and other roads, Rs. 44.24 crore during 2015-16 and Rs. 40 crore during 2016-17,” NPCC said, adding that the total available during 2016-17 for maintenance was Rs. 70.85 crore.

Neiba Kronu launching the ‘Nagaland Vision 2030’ website on Monday.

Correspondent

KOHIMA, JUN 6 (NPN): Nagaland government’s ambitious “Nagaland Vision 2030” document and website were launched by parliamentary secretary for planning and coordination, evaluation and monitoring cell and taxes, Neiba Kronu, at chief secretary conference hall here on Monday.

Announced by state chief minister T.R. Zeliang on May 5 last, the state government has decided to bring out a vision document with 2030 perspective, or roughly in the context of the 15 years, for guiding the planning and development process of the state.

Speaking at the launching programme, Neiba said even though the state has political problem, it cannot continue to struggle till settlement come and stressed the need to uplift the economy of the state.

Pointing out that vision document could invite investors, Neiba said since the centre has stopped funding for special plan assistance projects to the state, it was up to the state to have clear concept and develop.

He also suggested that cadastral survey in the state could

help avail loan and realize house tax. Maintaining that Article 371 (A) did not mean land cannot be mortgaged, Neiba said land acquisition authority needed to seriously discuss on the landownership issue.

He said the government took a decision in 2011 that for any development purpose, land was to be bought through outright purchase with no condition by landowners.

Former chief secretary, Alemtemshi Jamir, who is the convener of Nagaland Vision 2030, said that an expert group of secretaries has been instituted for vision document.

To make the vision document inclusive involving the people and not only the views of the government departments, he said there were open platforms to solicit views including website- nagalandvision2030.in, facebook accountNagaland Vision 2030, whatsapp account- 8415856752 and email account- nagalandvision2030@gmail.com. Contributors can also send in their papers by post to Convenor, Nagaland Vision 2030, Capital Convention Centre, New Secretariat Area, Kohima-797003.

He said that all submis-

sions should be given by June 30, saying the target to submit the vision document was July 31. Alemtemshi informed that a small functional secretariat was being set up at Capital Convention Centre, and an economic consultant Dr. Manoj Pant of JNU has also been appointed to assist in guiding the vision document.

He further informed that suggested nature of submissions must be simple and understandable, lay down perspective of what Nagaland can be within the time frame 2030 and address issues and work out plan of action to tackle them. Alemtemshi also informed that due credit and acknowledgement would be given to the contributors whose submissions are incorporated in the vision document.

Alemtemshi also emphasised on the need to correct and reorient the economy, setting into motion production and productivity. Stating that there has been total misunderstanding of Article 371(A), he said the Article was not an impediment to sale or mortgage, it was only to prevent acts of parliament from entering into the state.

NSCN (K) refutes AR’s statement DIMAPUR, JUN 6 (NPN): NSCN/GPRN MIP in connection to alleged arrest of one Kughato Chishi by combined team of Assam Rifles at Molvom,Dimapur has clarified that, Kughato Chishi was

not the defence secretary of NSCN/GPRN and also ‘brig.’

Akaho not the finance secretary as alleged.

NSCN/GPRN MIP stated that Kughato Chishi has not been assigned with any official

responsibilities and therefore the testimonies rendered by him are null and void and NSCN/GPRN fully disowns the purported confessional statements of Kughato Chishi.

LH clarifies to NGBF’s appeal on oil exploration DIMAPUR, JUN 6 (NPN): L otha Hoho (LH) has issued a clarification on the appeal made by Nagaland GB Federation (NGBF) urging the Hoho to lift the public interest litigation (PIL) filed with regard to oil exploration activities in the state.

In a press release, LH chairman, Mhao Humtsoe and general secretary, Er. Mhondamo Ovung reminded NGBF that PIL was filed to sustain the provisions of Article 371 A, since Nagaland Petroleum and Natural Gas (NP&NG) Regulations and Rules 2012, were against the rights of the land owners. LH pointed out that it was not the “assigned responsibility” of the GBs on the matters related to settlement of issues on exploration, extraction and development of Petroleum and Natural Gas in the state. Instead, LH asked NGBF to coordinate in the management of khel (colony) within the village, as they have been vested with the responsibility. The Hoho also alleged that GBs were “helpless” when it comes to matters

that included national or international parties, and was also in the case of Petroleum and Natural Gas (PNG) since it involved ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, Govt of India, the Oil & Natural Gas Commission (ONGC) of India, Metropolitan Oil & Gas Pvt Ltd (MoGPL), department of Geology & Mining, Government of Nagaland, etc.

Therefore, LH asked NGBF not to misguide the Nagas by stating that PIL will have a negative consequence for the Nagas. In fact, LH claimed that PIL has paved way for the Nagas to express their rights and to safeguard our traditional rights, as enshrined in the Article 371 A, of the Indian Constitution.

LH has highlighted some “glaring” reason on the filing of PIL No. 4 (K) of 2015.

LH claimed that PIL was filed for sustaining the provisions of Article 371 A, as NP& NG Regulations and Rules 2012, were against the rights of the land owners.

It also accused state government of violating its own

existing Act of 1990 by passing the NLA Resolution of 26/7/2010. In this regard, LH asked the state government why it had violated Article 371A by imposing CrPC 144, and launched MOGPL at Tssori- Champang Oil fields, on July 21, 2014?

LH maintained that while other organizations including Ao Senden were not willing to accept the NP & NG modalities, why Lothas were compelled to accept. The Hoho further made it clear that it was not against exploration, extraction or development of Petroleum and Natural Gas; but was only against some Articles of the Nagaland state NP & NG Regulations & Rules 2012, which are contrary to the provisions of Article 371A. LH claimed that by filing the PIL, the court in its ruling (9.10. 2015) had made Government of India as a Respondent, thereby prevented Government of India from auctioning two oil blocks in Nagaland. Therefore, LH said that the Lotha community did not jumped only at the last

moment to file the PIL; but starting from 2008, they had submitted many memorandums and appeals to the state government; but were not attended or responded by the state govt.

LH said six memorandums and appeals have also been submitted to the state government from various Lothas’ bodies- Lotha Legislators (2008), Champang Land Owners Union (2009), Lotha Hoho (then Kyong Hoho) on two occasions in 2012, Lotha Students’ Union (then Kyong Students’ Union) on 2014 and Lotha Hoho, Wokha (2015), and was awaiting response from the state government.

In the latest memorandum that was submitted in 2015, the Hoho had cautioned that “in the event of the state govt’s failure to respond favourably, the matter will be taken to the court of law”.

However, the state government never bothered to either discuss or respond to the memorandum and for which this PIL (No. 4 (K) 2015) was filed, LH said.

The issue needed a united stand of the political parties too, he observed.

Congress (TMC) leaders of the state to join their party but he had declined.

He had also asked police to enhance his security following which it was done at his official residence here.

With Sarkar’s resignation, the Congress’ strength in Tripura Assembly has been reduced to nine from 10 in the 60-member House where the strength of ruling Left Front is 50.

Meanwhile, Congress leader Sudip Roy Burman, who had resigned from the post of Leader of Opposition over the issue of CongressLeft alliance, is likely to write to the Speaker tomorrow that he, along with five other

MLAs, had joined Trinamool Congress, sources close to him told PTI. The dissident group led

by Roy Burman now needs altogether six legislators to evade the provisions of antidefection law.

Earlier, Roy Burman had met TMC chief Mamata Banerjee in Kolkata and expressed his desire to join the party. Trinamool Congress All-India General Secretary Mukul Roy had arrived here from Kolkata on Friday last and held meeting with the dissident Congress MLAs led

by Roy Barman so that they could leave the party with adequate numbers to protect their membership.

Ghy becomes first city to have City Animal GUWAHATI, JUN 6 (PTI): Assam state capital Monday become the first city in the country to have its own City Animal with the Kamrup Metropolitan district administration declaring the Gangetic River Dolphin as the mascot.

In a press conference, Kamrup Metropolitan Deputy Commissioner M Angamuthu said that the animal, locally known as ‘Sihu’, would be the ‘City Animal’ of Guwahati.

The district administration had organised online and off-line voting among three protected creatures, which are on the verge of extinction, to decide the mascot.

Along with Gangetic River Dolphin, the other two animals were Black Softshell Turtle (Bor Kaso) and Greater Adjutant Stork (Hargila).

While less than 2,000 Gangetic River Dolphins remain in the Brahmaputra along

Guwahati, a recent survey said only a small population of Black Softshell Turtle were found in the river and its tributaries.

The number of Greater Adjutant Stork is less than 1,200 in and around the state capital.

The three-month long voting process attracted 60,003 participants to decide the City Animal and Gangetic RiverDolphin received 24,247 votes.

While Greater Adjutant Stork got 18,454 votes, Black Softshell Turtle was the choice of 17,302 people. In the off-line voting, 76 schools and colleges across Guwahati participated.

Along with the Kamrup Metropolitan district administration, other organisations such as Assam Forest Department, Assam State Biodiversity Board and an NGO Help Earth worked closely to decide the City Animal, he said.

case to CBI

AIZAWL, JUN 6 (PTI): Mizoram government has completed all the formalities to hand over the sensational dacoity case, allegedly involving suspended Commandant of the 39th Assam Rifles Colonel Jasjit Singh, to the CBI, state Home minister R Lalzirliana said.

Citing the reasons for its willingness to hand over the case to the CBI, the minister told a press conference that the case has national as well as international implications as gold smuggling racket was at the root-cause of the dacoity.

Lack of modern scientific technology and equipment were also impediments to the investigation as the state police does not have a polygraph or lie-detector machine, he said.

“Rumours of involvement of highly-placed people in the case and also Col. Singh’s refusal to confess, may force us to hand over the case to the CBI,” Lalzirliana said.

The state government, he said, would convey its decision about the case to the CBI during this week.

“Even if the CBI agrees to take up the investigation, the state police would give full cooperation to the premier investigating agency and also continue with the investigation till the case is officially handed over to the CBI,” he said.

Mathura DM, SSP shifted; UP govt sends report to Centre

LUCKNOW, JUN 6 (PTI): In the first major fallout after the Mathura clashes, the Uttar Pradesh government Monday shunted out the District Magistrate and the Senior Superintendent of Police of Mathura even as it dismissed BJP’s charge that there was political pressure on police to not evict encroachers from Jawahar Bagh. “#UPCM@yadavakhilesh instructions, DM/SSP Mathura has been transferred.

New incumbents will join soon,” Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, who has been under attack over the violence, tweeted.

SSP Rakesh Kumar Singh has been replaced by SP Jalaun, Babloo Kumar, an official statement said. The name of the new district magistrate, who will replace Rajesh Kumar, is yet to be announced.

In its report to the Union Home Ministry, the state government rejected BJP’s charge that there was political pressure on police to not evict encroachers from Jawahar Bagh park and said the recent violence there was the result of the failure of local authorities.

Links to Naxals have not been ruled out given the quantity and type of weapons used by Azad Bharat Vidhik Vaicharik Kranti Satyagrahi an outfit that claimed to owe allegiance to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.

In its report, the state

Charred vehicles inside the Jawahar Bagh that was opened for the public in Mathura on Monday. (PTI) government has said last Thursday’s clashes between the police and squatters belonging to the cult at the public park was the result of the failure of the local police to assess the situation.

The report said the police was forced to act before they had made adequate preparations following an attack by the cult members.

According to reports, a police contingent led by Superintendent of Police Mukul Dwivedi had gone to Jawahar Bagh on June 2 for a recce when it came under attack.

In the clashes that ensued 29

Nagaland Post, Dimapur Tuesday, june 7, 2016

people, including Dwivedi and the SHO of the local police station Santosh Kumar, were killed. Cult leader Ram Vriksh Yadav was also found dead.

The members of the obscure cult were heavily armed and outnumbered the police force which went to evict the encroachers from the Jawahar Bagh park last week on a court order, the report said, noting that grenades and automatic weapons were freely used against the police. Chief minister’s uncle, Shivpal Yadav, who is a minister, has been accused by BJP of being a patron

of the cult which moved into the 280-acre park in 2014.

Shivpal has denied any links to the cult, demanding that the BJP “either prove its allegations or apologise publicly”. IG (Law and Order) H R Sharma told reporters that post mortem examination has been conducted over 19 bodies. While 18 bodies have been cremated, 10 out of 11 charred bodies have been identified.

So far, 45 cases have been registered against 3,000 encroachers.

A day after the clashes, UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav had admitted on Friday that there were “some lapses” on the part of the police in Mathura during the anti-encroachment drive and that there was no information that protesters had so much of weapons and ammunitions with them.

“There were some lapses.

Police should have gone with full preparation and after holding talks, but there was no information that they would be having so much (arms and ammunition,” Akhilesh had said.

The transfers were ordered by the chief minister even as Aligarh Divisional Commissioner Chandra Kant launched a probe to ascertain the circumstances leading to the incident, which left the Samajwadi Party government red-faced and invited sharp criticism from the opposition.

Narayanasamy sworn in as Puducherry CM

Narayanasamy P U D U C H E R RY, J U N 6 (PTI): Senior Congress leader and former Union Minister V Narayanasamy was Monday sworn in as the tenth Chief Minister of Puducherry.

Lt Governor Kiran Bedi administered the oath of office and secrecy to Narayanasamy and five other ministers - A Namassivayam, Malladi Krishna Rao, M O H F Shah Jahan, M Kandasamy and R Kamalakannan - at ‘Gandhi Thidal’ near the sea shore here. While Rao, hailing from Yanam, an enclave of Puducherry in Andhra Pradesh, took the oath in Telugu, others took it in Tamil. All of them are former ministers of the Union Territory. Earlier, Puducherry Chief Secretary Manoj Parida had read out the warrant of appointment of Narayanasamy as Chief Minister of Puducherry issued by President Pranab Mukherjee.

AICC General Secretary Mukul Wasnik, AICC Secretary Chinna Reddy, DMK leader K Stalin and TNCC president E V K S Ilangovan were among those present during the ceremony.

No desire to become PM: Nitish PATNA, JUN 6 (PTI): Amid speculation over Nitish Kumar becoming a prime ministerial candidate of a non-BJP front in the next general elections, the Bihar Chief Minister Monday said he only desired to become an MP and did not nourish a dream to become a PM. “I had only desired to become an MP at least once in life ... I had never nourished a dream to become a minister, chief minister or prime minister,” the Chief Minister said at a function to launch a biography of ‘Super-30’ founder Anand Kumar here.

“Some people are trying to defame me so that I do not ever desire to become a PM ... but they are doing it uselessly as I do not harbour the ambition to become a PM,” Kumar said in an apparent dig at BJP leaders who have been making “adverse” comments on him.

While RJD President Lalu Prasad, his NCP counterpart Sharad Pawar and former Jharkhand CM Babulal Marandi have hailed Kumar for having potential to become PM, rival BJP and NDA leaders have been making “adverse comments” on the issue.

Lauding works of Anand Kumar who is providing opportunity to students of deprived sections of the society to qualify in IITs, the Chief Minister recounted his early days of struggle in politics when he had to face defeat initially in two consecutive Assembly elections.

“I did not loose patience and continued to work hard,” he said while inspiring younger

Nitish Kumar ones to have determination to do good in life. The Chief Minister showered praise on Anand Kumar and said “today he has become an identity of a resurgent Bihar.”

The Chief Minister said he drew an idea to launch bicycle yojna in Bihar, which has worked in drastically cutting down the percentage of out of school children from 12.5 per cent in 2005 to 0.85 per cent now, during a function to distribute bicycle to SC/ST girls in Patna.

“I saw excitement among girls while getting the bicycle at Nritya Kala Mandir in Patna and immediately called officials to work out how much cost would it entail if the scheme is extended for all girls,” he said revealing the idea of launching bicycle yojna in 2006. “Due to bicycle yojna, enrolment of girls in class IX has increased from 1.7 lakh in 2005 to 8.5 lakh today,” the Bihar Chief Minister said.

“The bicycle yojna has been considered as the most effective tool to boost education in backward regions world over,” he said.

Complete ‘jungle raj’ in Delhi: Kejriwal NEW DELHI, JUN 6 (PTI): Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Monday said that there is “complete jungle raj” in the national capital, accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Lt Governor Najeeb Jung of “failing to control deteriorating law and order”.

Referring to the case of murder of a 50-year-old woman and her two daughters at their residence in North-East Delhi’s Brahmapuri area yesterday, he urged both the PM and the LG to do “something (to control crime)”, saying that “(see) what is happening in Delhi”.

“Complete jungle raj in Del. LG/Modi ji failed miserably. What hv they done to control deteriorating law n order? (sic),” Kejriwal said in a series of tweets.

“This is 2 years of Modi raj,” he said, referring to the murder case.

In another tweet, he said, “LG sahib/ Modi ji, pl do something. Ye delhi mein kya ho raha hai (what is happening in Delhi).”

AAP has been demanding that the control over Delhi Police which directly reports to the Union Home Ministry, be handed over to the Delhi government.

Last month, the Delhi government had released a draft bill on full statehood to Delhi, seeking to bring police, land, municipal corporations and bureaucracy under its control, and invited suggestions from the public.

Kanhaiya’s EC wants law to empower it to postpone, cancel polls Dadri tense, prohibitory orders clamped ‘attacker’ greets Gautam Budh Nagar NP Singh has clamped Section 144 CrPC and issued prohibitory orders banning gathering of five or more persons in the district after Bishada villagers in Dadri announced maha panchayat for today and additional security personnel were deployed in the village, officials said. ”Situation is under control,” District Magistrtae NP Singh said, adding he has appealed to the residents not to resort to violence. Political leaders should not politicise the matter since it is subjudice.

“Let the case proceed in court.

They can put their views or evidence before the court.

Nobody will be allowed to disturb law and order.”

Sanjay Rana, father of accused Vishal Rana, had threatened that a maha panchayat will be held in the village as police have failed to register an FIR against Akhlaq’s family.

“A complaint was filed with police after the forensic report said the meat in the

Court convicts 5 persons in Danish woman gangrape case

freezer at Akhlaq’s house was beef. No FIR has been filed yet in this regard,” he said.

The report submitted to the fast=track court was prepared by a Mathura-based Forensic lab and it surfaced last week.

The veterinary officer in his preliminary report that was cited by the police earlier had said that the meat sample was not beef, but meat of “goat progeny”. Rana went on to say that a calf had gone missing from the village in September last year and later animal remains were found near Ikhlaq’s house. “Then Investigation Officer had taken the photographs of the meat piece and other parts and it was clear that it was calf which was killed.

We only want that Ikhlaq’s family should be booked for cow slaughtering.”

But Yusuf Saifi, advocate for the victim’s family, said, ”meat piece was recovered from the nearby transformer and not from Ikhlaq’s house.

We will challenge the forensic report too in the court.”

Amit Shah

PUNE, JUN 6 (PTI): Selfies of Assamese youths, led by Manas Deka, accused by JNU student leader Kanhaiya Kumar of trying to “strangle” him on board of an aircraft in April, have been posted on a social networking site greeting BJP chief Amit Shah.

The brief encounter took place before Shah was to address a convention -- ‘Pramod Mahajan Skill and Entrepreneurship Mission’, a Maharashtra government initiative on the lines of the Centre’s ‘Skill India’, at an auditorium here yesterday.

However, the delegation did not attend the function and left. Deka later posted the selfies with Shah on his social media account.

On April 24, Kumar had alleged that Deka, working with a city-based software firm, had tried to strangle him on board a Pune-bound Jet Airways flight.

NEW DELHI, JUN 6 (PTI): Election Commission Monday asked the government to amend the electoral law to empower it to either postpone or countermand elections if evidence emerge of use of money to influence voters, a move which comes against the backdrop of parties doling out cash and gifts to woo the electorate.

In a letter to the Legislative Secretary in the Law Ministry today, the Commission said a new clause ‘58 B’ be inserted in the Representation of the People Act to allow “adjournment of poll or countermanding of election on the ground of bribery.”

It has requested the government to take “early action” on its proposal.

At present, the Commission has powers under Article 324 of the Constitution to cancel or postpone polls if they have been vitiated due to use of money to get votes.

But now the poll panel wants the government to amend the Representation of the Peo-

ple Act to make use of money power a ground to cancel or countermand polls.

EC officials today said it would be better if the provision to cancel polls on the grounds of use of money is incorporated in the law and the Commission does not have to resort to exercising its constitutional power for the same.

Sources in the Law Ministry said under the proposed clause, EC wants power to “postpone the poll in the affected polling area or areas to such later date as the Commission may deem appropriate in the facts and circumstances of the case, appoint a fresh date...” In case where the poll has already taken place in the affected polling area, EC wants authority under law to declare the poll as “void” and decide on a fresh day to hold the elections afresh. The proposed clause further provides that “if satisfied that in view of the large number of polling areas involved in the incidents of bribery, the result of the

election in the constituency is likely to be affected, (the EC can) countermand the election in that constituency.”

The Commission said in Section 58 A and the proposed clause 58 B, the expression ‘countermand the election’ “shall mean rescinding of the entire electoral process in the constituency ab initio (from the beginning) so that the election in the constituency may be called anew in all respects.”

Provision 58 A in the R P Act, inserted in 1989, allows EC to cancel polls only if muscle power has been used or booths have been captured to influence the outcome of elections. In his letter to the Legislative Secretary, EC’s Principal Secretary K F Wilfred noted that “over a period of time and especially in the recent years, misuse of money power is seen to be having a serious vitiating effect on the conduct of free and fair elections.”

On May 27, EC had recommended to the Tamil Nadu Governor to cancel the

notification to hold polls to the Arvakurichi and Thanjavur Assembly constituencies following evidence that a large sum of money was used to influence the voters there.

Tamil Nadu had gone for Assembly polls on May 16 after which AIADMK returned to power for a second consecutive term. The EC is yet to announce fresh schedule to hold elections in the two constituencies. The Commission had used its constitutional powers in March 2012 recommending to the President cancelllation of the notification for a Rajya Sabha biennial election from Jharkhand even after the polling had concluded after it found that money was used to influence voters.

The Commission had on June 3 asked the Chief Electoral Officer of Karnataka to give a factual report of a recent sting operation that purportedly showed a group of MLAs demanding money for supporting a candidate for the June 11 Rajya Sabha polls.

Gulbarg Society case convicts being produced at the special court in Ahmedabad on Monday. (PTI) NEW DELHI, JUN 6 (PTI): A Delhi court Monday convicted five persons for gangraping, robbing and kidnapping a 52year-old Danish woman here in 2014.

After pronouncing the order, Additional Sessions Judge Ramesh Kumar II fixed June 9 for hearing arguments on the quantum of sentence in the case.

“All accused are held guilty for all offences,” the judge said. The judge convicted them for the offences under sections 376 (D) (gang rape), 395 (dacoity), 366 (kidnapping), 342 (wrongful confinement), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 34 (common intention) of IPC. The convicts -- Mahendra alias Ganja (27), Mohd Raja (23), Raju (24), Arjun (22), Raju Chakka (23) -- were present in the court.

Under the new law for gang rape, an offender can be sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than 20 years, but which may extend to life.

According to the prosecution, the five, all vagabonds, had robbed and gangraped the Danish tourist at knife-point on the night of January 14, 2014, after leading her to a secluded spot close to the Divisional Railway Officers’ Club near New Delhi Railway Station.

During the hearing, the court was informed that the defence counsel had challenged its previous order dismissing a plea seeking to examine some doctors as witnesses on the potency issue of the sixth accused, 56-year-old Shyam Lal who died in February this year.

The court, however, said nowhere in the application it was mentioned that the proceedings of this court had been stayed by the Delhi High Court.

“Hence, this court is not barred from passing the order,” the judge said.

Three other accused in the case are juveniles and the inquiry against them is in progress before the Juvenile Justice Board.

DC-1247

GREATER NOIDA, JUN 6 (PTI): Nearly nine months after the Dadri lynching, the situation in Bishada village became tense again on Monday as locals held a protest meeting ignoring prohibitory orders demanding that an FIR be registered against the victim’s family for alleged cow slaughter. The demand was sparked after a forensic report stated that the meat found at the scene of the attack on Mohammad Akhlaq on the night of September 28 following rumours that his family stored and ate beef at their house was that of “cow or its progeny”.

A clarity was, however, yet to emerge from where exactly the meat was recovered.

The villagers had originally planned to have a maha panchayat to push for registration of the FIR against Akhlaq’s family. The protest meeting was also attended by some local level Shiv Sena members, according to the organisers.

Unlimited injustice

D

espite all that has been written and also commented in this newspaper since nearly two decades back regarding irregularities and illegal appointments under various government departments, nothing has changed and the only change has been in the nomenclature, to ‘backdoor appointments’. The term ‘backdoor appointment’ is when someone is given a job which has not been advertised, sanctioned, approved nor requisitioned to NPSC but done through some dubious method.

It is devised and decided jointly by politicians and bureaucrats. For the politician, it is a way of rewarding either their own kith and kin or those of their political supporters. The bureaucrats also have their share in these appointments through a tacit understanding on a quid pro quo basis. What had been disclosed by the Nagaland Voluntary Consumers Organisation(NVCO) on June 5,2015 has only confirmed that ‘backdoor appointments’ are there to stay. According to NVCO, RTI reply to its query, though belated and beyond the stipulated period; revealed that there were in total 804 appointments in the Health & Family Welfare department of which 319 were backdoor appointments. Earlier in November 2015, the Kyong Students Union(KSU) claimed there were a total of 7737 backdoor appointments from 2005-15 in the home department. On the other hand, the Chakhesang Students Union(CSU) stated from 2010 to 2015, there were 3900 backdoor appointments. The total figure of 7737 backdoor appointees also reveal, that on an average, there were around 774 backdoor appointees from 2005-15 which also means, that there were around 64 persons appointed through backdoor every month during the entire period. In the June 5,2016 press statement, NVCO also reminded of the January 13,2010 standing government directive on all Administrative Heads of Departments(AHoDs), to immediately cancel all such irregular and backdoor appointments and launch criminal proceedings against those officials involved by filing FIR with the State Vigilance Commission(SVC) and withdraw all payments of pension benefits till the cases were disposed off.

In another most damning statement, IGP(Crime) Toshitsungba Aier, at a seminar disclosed that there was an excess of around 1500 police personnel in the department, which created an extra burden of Rs.50 crore by way of salaries etc. Taking into account the number of police personnel to population, he said it indicated, that the state has the highest ration of 1:50 as against the national average of 1:500. The backdoor appointments in the Police department has thoroughly damaged the morale of the force since those who had put in decades of service have been deprived of promotions because of backdoor appointments to the higher levels. The unjustness of this irregular and illegal method of appointment has destroyed the career of several hundred serving uniformed personnel at various levels. This has been and continues to be the practice in the home(police) department and nothing has been done neither suo moto action been taken by the authorities. When Nagaland state is reeling under serious socio-economic problems due to pressures from several thousand youths, desperate to make a decent living and in the light of lack of job avenues in hand, these facts and figures, even accepted as ‘backdoor appointments’ by the government, merits a thorough probe to unearth the criminal conspiracy against the people of the state. All these certainly confirm that Nagaland is indeed the land of ‘Khushi-Khushi’.

DailyDevotion “Work Out” What God “Works in” You …work out your own salvation…for it is God who works in you… —Philippians 2:12-13 Your will agrees with God, but in your flesh there is a nature that renders you powerless to do what you know you ought to do. When the Lord initially comes in contact with our conscience, the first thing our conscience does is awaken our will, and our will always agrees with God. Yet you say, “But I don’t know if my will is in agreement with God.” Look to Jesus and you will find that your will and your conscience are in agreement with Him every time.

What causes you to say “I will not obey” is something less deep and penetrating than your will. It is perversity or stubbornness, and they are never in agreement with God. The most profound thing in a person is his will, not sin.

The will is the essential element in God’s creation of human beings— sin is a perverse nature which entered into people. In someone who has been born again, the source of the will is Almighty God. “…for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.” With focused attention and great care, you have to “work out” what God “works in” you— not work to accomplish or earn “your own salvation,” but work it out so you will exhibit the evidence of a life based with determined, unshakable faith on the complete and perfect redemption of the Lord. As you do this, you do not bring an opposing will up against God’s will— God’s will is your will. Your natural choices will be in accordance with God’s will, and living this life will be as natural as breathing. Stubbornness is an unintelligent barrier, refusing enlightenment and blocking its flow. The only thing to do with this barrier of stubbornness is to blow it up with “dynamite,” and the “dynamite” is obedience to the Holy Spirit.

Do I believe that Almighty God is the Source of my will? God not only expects me to do His will, but He is in me to do it.

If you wouldn’t write it and sign it, don’t say it. ~ Earl Wilson

S

haktimaan, the police horse, will probably be the deciding factor in the Uttarakhand elections. NO matter how much Ganesh Joshi protests, people believe he broke the horse’s leg and caused his death.

Is Shaktimaan the first animal to be killed by Indian protestors? No. It has become fashionable for rabble-rousers to use animals to get media attention. Donkeys, cows, bullocks, poultry are driven by mobs and often die because of the ill treatment of the mob.

But, at the end of the day, wanton cruelty sickens us, and both Nirbhayaa and Shaktimaan have become symbols of innocent victimhood.

Nirbhayaa led to an important Juvenile Justice Act. Millions of people and the entire media have been asking for Shaktimaan’s death to lead to higher penalties for cruelty.

Now it ranges from Rs.10 – Rs.50.

So, let me appeal to the Home Minister. Why are we using horses at all in the Indian police service? What purpose do they serve ?

The man who looked after Shaktimaan can give a dozen interviews saying he was his friend and co-soldier. But three years down the line he would have shot him himself – as they do retired horses; Or Shaktimaan would have been abandoned on the road to die of neglect; Or sold in his old age to people who use white horses for weddings. And for the few years left to him he would have had to walk thirty miles a day, wear decorations on his face, had his teeth smashed in by reins being held too tightly, had his eardrums punctured by

the deafening sound of baraat music, been pushed by merrymakers, had to sleep standing in the rain and cold on the road, been hit by passing cars.

So, let us dismiss the false tears of Shaktimaan’s handler.

Dozens of 17 year old horses are abandoned by the police every year and horrible things happen to them – if they are not shot. The reason that the police give is that they are very expensive to keep and there are no facilities to keep retired horses.

Let us look at a more permanent solution. Why don’t the police stop using horses?

Why do we have them?

Because the British use horses in England and they brought the custom to India and all the countries they occupied. They used them for crowd control.

This was at a time when there were few roads, no cars and regular resistance during the freedom movement. We now have roads, vehicles, watercannons, tear gas, arms and no riots of that kind.

Why do the British still have horses?

They look good. Tourists like them. Mounted police escort the Royal Household Cavalry every morning from their barracks in Hyde Park to Horse Guards Parade. And they come in handy when the football fans riot every year.

They are perhaps only used seriously to break up football crowds, because even the most drunk football enthusiast will not mess with a baton wielding policeman on a huge big horse.

There is the extra benefit of being able to survey the entire area and to direct ground officers to a section of a crowd to stop a fight before it even starts.

To pack off tobacco

T

o have seen in medias that Bihar is the fourth state after Gujarat, Mizoram and Nagaland to impose total ban on liquor is rhetorically amusing, not because of the B-G-M states or the other states joining the league but for the impractical Christian state making it in the list. When liquor prohibition is nursing its fractured wings visiting every hypothetical clinics, ie, NGOs, should the “No Tobacco” campaign cut the line making a queue along all unrealistic slogans, agitations, bandhs, strikes and the likes without any practical call of duty? Taking tobacco onstage, it is abusive of ourselves that a day is fixed to check paan shops for the matter, proclaiming “No Tobacco Day” and keep savouring the same by evening the same day.

Tobacco, besides liquor, which is in tussle with NGOs and churches or any governmental agencies is an immigrant or import product which makes it much easier to eradicate if given effort by way of snipping from the bud, filtering from the channels through which these products reaches the retails. It is beyond remedial reach once it is all ready for consumers, that include volunteers and some church workers, just to pay and have it at will or in stealth, then the same people initiating movements to put a stop on it.

For instance, Bihar delivered its stand on liquor by incurring crores of rupees from its revenue derived from liquor. Policy makers in our state, on issues like liquor or tobacco, should learn from them instead of doing scapegoat parody and dramatic raids. How can we not do it when the same are not produced from within our state? Allowing tobacco to flow in without any restrain after which trying to make people spit out the same is a game played with the wrong ball, sparing no choice.

One should not be surprised but appreciate the effort and success of Yikhum village, a few minutes ride from Wokha, banning sale of tobacco and liquor of any form under its jurisdiction, joining the ally of Tobacco and Liquor Free Villages. Crossing borders by self to get oneself inebriated is beyond the grasp of the law within. It is, therefore, expected of the trying mechanisms to get rid of the menace by the roots and not keep plucking the leaves sporadically expecting to impair the trunk overnight. And if tobacco be labeled as mouth refresher, there are too many to take marijuana to boost the mind.

he All Nagaland Graduate Primary Teachers’ Association is compelled to give this rejoinder because of some unwarranted barbs being thrown at us by the officers of ANSTA and NSSFOF in their article “rejoinder to minister education” which was published in local dailies.

“To divide and rule the department different promises were given to different groups and believing which the groups withdrew from ANSTA however not fulfilled as he failed to understand the practical aspect.”

At a time when we were demoralized by the reluctance of ANSTA office bearers to take up our cause by citing that we are just primary teachers and as such it was beyond our domain to aspire for higher pay or promotions (we thought ANSTA was there to stand for the welfare of its members rather than to pass judgments), our minister understood our plights and promised to look into the matter and take necessary action.

That for us was “the ray of hope” after been neglected for decades

Nagaland Post, Dimapur tuesday, June 7, 2016

Poachers of trees and animals The Police Horse essentially acts as a mobile platform, allowing the police to survey the crowd and move around easily to get a closer look at what is going on whilst still being able to talk to people in the crowds.

The police say that 99% of the time their presence calms people down. Most people like horses, and many want to pat the horse on the nose. The same people who would happily smash a beer bottle over a cop’s head would never do the same to a horse.

Canada also has mounted police, though they are gradually disbanding them. They are entirely ceremonial and, again, a leftover of the British Raj, as the last riot in Canada was in the early 1920s.

T h e F r e n c h Maréchaussée—the first national police force in a modern sense—were a corps of completely mounted constabulary in the early 18th century. Poor roads and extensive rural areas made horse-mounted police a necessity in the European states until the early 20th century. The establishment of organized lawenforcement bodies throughout Africa, Asia and the Americas, during the colonial eras, made the concept of horse-police accepted in 49 countries in the 1800s. (In Cape Town, the

reasons given now for the horse police stems from the problem of police officers sleeping in their cars on duty.) Now, most countries have stopped.

America in the 1800s was rural and crimes, like stolen livestock, were a big part of police work. Many cities in the United States had mounted units. But by 2010 most of these mounted units have either been downsized or disbanded.

Units in Boston and San Diego, Newark, Philadelphia, Hartford, Connecticut, Portland, Charleston, Tulsa, Camden, Houston, have all gone. It is too expensive to keep them and they serve very little purpose.

Hours are spent getting the horses ready, travelling with them to the post and then getting them bedded down. Rarely do they spend more than a few hours on patrol. The expenses for training, feeding, stabling, and outfitting for a single police horse are huge. And horse units, usually deployed at large public events, perform poorly on accountability metrics like arrest rates. They have been replaced with other good, solid policing techniques. According to US police chiefs “The mounted patrol is largely ornamental.

The primary justification for the unit is crowd control. But marauding crowds have not

been a major source of crime for quite some time. It is a lot less expensive for us to operate cars, motorcycles and electric vehicles than it is to maintain the housing, feed and care for the animals”. New York had 130 officers and 125 horses.

Now it is left with 79 officers and 60 horses. And there are signs Mayor Bill de Blasio’s high-profile campaign against the city’s “inhumane” horsedrawn carriages could extend to the NYPD’s mounted unit.

The horse police of Delhi was ordered to be disbanded

by Police Commissioner Y S Dadwal. It didn’t happen.

His successor in the late 90s, bought 40 stallions. The horses are brought out at ceremonial functions such as Independence Day and Delhi Police Raising Day. They camp outside hotels when heads of states come, patrol India Gate on weekends and outside Feroze Shah Kotla grounds when cricket matches take place. For the past decade no new horse has been inducted into the unit, which has 44 horses left against a sanctioned strength of 95. 41 are kept in the stable yard in North Delhi’s Civil Lines area, while three are at the Kalkaji police station in South Delhi.

These horses cannot be used in any place with heavy traffic so they are mainly walked about on pavements. Police officers say that their use, even in crowd control, is limited because of heavy brick-batting and use of bombs by unruly protestors. And how often do we have riots? The cost of each horse comes to over a lakh a month. For each horse, there is a handler who belongs to the constable or head constable rank. The present strength of

the police unit is 75 constables, 22 head constables and two sub-inspectors. In 2005, horses on law and order duties were used for a total of 10,173 hours.

By 2012, the year for which figures are last available, horses were used for 1,672 hours.

Police forces in Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Kolkata, Kerala, Karnataka, Uttarakhand have mounted police units. Gujarat has the largest number with 606 animals in 2013. The Karnataka police has 90 horses, and 50 officers and handlers, used mainly during the Dasara festival.

The horses used abroad have specially made horseshoes, or rubber soles, in place of standard steel horseshoes which can slip on pavements.

Horses working in riot control wear facial armour, made of perspex. The riders are equipped with especially long wooden or polycarbonate batons for use on horseback, as standard patrol batons would have insufficient length to strike individuals at ground level. We have none of this.

Romantics have a nostalgic attachment to police horses.

But they are a costly bit of sentimentality .The police can use that money to modernize, or to make the lives of their human units better.

The horses would be much better off if the police gave them to the forest department and made them patrol wildlife parks which are being raped by poachers of trees and animals. Most parks just have a single vehicle to patrol and even this is difficult due to the lack of roads. To join the animal welfare movement contact gandhim@nic.in,www. peopleforanimalsindia.org

Global warming and the internet

epleting ice caps, polar bears on the verge of extinction, declining glaciers, rising of sea level and erratic weather are visible signs of global warming. While some governments and industries choose to ignore the crisis, most of the Governments of the world have come together and we have seen the Stockholm Conference held on 5th June 1972, Rio De Janeiro 1992, Framework Convention on Climate Change (Earth Summit); the Kyoto Protocol 1997 and recently the World Climate Change Conference Paris 2015. But what are we doing as a citizen, increasing the carbon dioxide emission by burning more fossil fuels for our power hungry devices, the PC, the Notebook the DVD players, the TV, the Smart Phones. The need for electric power increases more if we connect these devices to the Information Super Highway – The Internet. In today’s world of Information Technology many of us cannot do a thing without The Internet, from running a business or an organization, searching for information, shopping, paying utilities bills, booking tickets to sending an e-mail. But, what is Internet? In the simplest definition, Internet is nothing but Network of Network; which means it is the interconnection of computers and mobile devices of the whole world.

It is made of the various WebPages (web document) which make up a website. The websites are stored in web servers or Internet servers. A web server is a sort of bulked-up desktop computer, minus a screen and keyboard that contains chips to process data. Web servers are in fact the heart of Internet, as it helps to deliver web contents that can be accessed by the web user. The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gamming, data storage or running enterprise applications. And these web servers are racked up together in a data center,

which are massive buildings housing thousands of servers storing everything from Facebook photos and YouTube videos to company websites and personal emails.

There are tens of thousands of data centers that now exist to support the overall explosion of digital information. When we use Google to search for a random tidbit of information, purchase a new e-book on our Amazon Kindle, or use an ATM to find out the balance in our bank accounts, download movies on iTunes, post on Twitter or read newspapers online, there is a great deal of power being consumed through large data centers located across the world. Most of us passively use technology without seriously thinking of the heavy damage cause to the environment due to the heavy reliance on fossil fuels and other wasteful practices.

“Most people don’t appreciate that the computer on our desk is contributing to global warming and that if its electricity comes from a coal powered plant it produces as much CO2 as a sports utility vehicle”, said Bill Arnuad of Canarie, a Canada-based Internet development organization. Unconsciously, all of us are contributing to unwanted CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions from home, through the careless use of our electrical devices. The sheer amount of energy wasted by devices like PCs, television and most other electronic appliances, even when they are in standby mode, is enormous. According to reports from the German Federal Environment Office, devices consume around 17 billion kilowatts hour in a year when they are in the standby mode. This mode is also responsible for CO2 emissions; the CO2 dissipated from ‘sleeping’ devices amount to about one-seventh the CO2 emitted by an automobile. Twelve million tonnes of carbon dioxide is the price we pay for just keeping the device on

ANGPTA’s rejoinder

by those who were supposed to take care of us. We believe, our minister – a gentleman of very high stature, in his tenure will surely go all the way to fulfil the dreams and aspirations of the thousands of primary teachers.

If some people want to infer this situation otherwise that’s pathetic and we are sorry!

“Other association’s final journey except the NGHSSEA is to the ANSTA only in future.” So far as the future of the ANGPTA is concerned we are quite capable of deciding our future and will definitely ask for guidance if required so. Also, since when has the concerned associations started seeing into the future! If at all in future this prediction is to come true then we’ll accept our fate with outmost humility.

It it is a case of unfortunate hallucination then you may reassess your health or is this a forewarn of an impending disaster that will befall us if by God’s grace the graduate primary teachers are upgraded to that of the status of graduate teachers where you will control and manipulate the graduate seniority list and

make us suffer. God forbade!

Whatsoever may by the case, the ANGPTA request one and all to please spare us from all kinds of unwanted provocative statements/barbs neither directly nor indirectly in future.

The ANGPTA is also pained and expresses our displeasure against the frequent use of the words like “just this”, “a mere that” in the recent times by members of the teaching fraternity against fellow teachers.

These words are discriminatory and reflects poorly on those who chooses to use them. We pray that better sense would prevail.

We, the primary teachers are the “simple village school masters” trying to make an impact on the lives of people living in the remotest of villages in our state by following in the footsteps of those pioneer primary teachers who had impacted the lives of thousands of people and shown them the way to a brighter future (we believe many of our officers, doctors, engineers might know/ have known such person(s0 who have/had touched their lives).

Today we (primary teachers)

standby! Most of the Windows Operating System never shuts down or powers off the PC completely.

Rather, the default shut down mode is a deep sleep mode that requires power. It’s only when we switch off the mains switch at the back of the computer that the power supply unit stops drawing power.

So it misleads us into believing that the computer hardly consumes electricity in the ‘Standby’ or ‘Sleep Mode’. However it has been proved that such devices can consume as much as 120 Watts in the supposedly power-saving modes.

Web Server consume huge amount of electricity, produce lots of CO2 and also generate lot of heat. According to Google more electricity is needed to store, transmit and download a video compared to a simple email. A single search using Google releases 0.2 grams of CO2 into the atmosphere. And Anti-virus software firm McAfee reports that the electricity needed just to transmit the trillions of spam emails sent annually equals the amount required to power over two million homes in the United State while producing the same level of greenhouse gas emissions as more than three million cars.

Engineers at Veridity Software, a start-up that helped companies manage energy resources, were not surprise by what they discovered on the floor of a sprawling data center. The engineers found that the dozens of facility they surveyed, was using the majority of its power on servers were doing little except burning electricity.

Most of the servers in the sample were using less than 10 percent of their computational brainpower, on average, to process data. In many facilities, servers are loaded with applications and left to run indefinitely, even after nearly all users have vanished or new versions of the same programs are running elsewhere. Kenneth Brill, an En-

for the first time in many years have brought up our genuine problems/issues in terms of our social status, pay and promotional avenues for consideration with outmost humility. In this regard we find it very hard to comprehend when our minister, who sincerely wants to help the primary teachers is being accused of projecting “divide and rule” policy, making false promises etc. We earnestly request all concerned that if you don’t want to/ can’t feel our pain so be it but don’t try to trample over our integrity and self esteem.

For us the very simple lifestyles of the village communities have taught us to call black a black and white a white (a privilege). Other than this we don’t know the nitty-gritty of thigs which the teachers from other sections experience. So, excuse us! If our write-up is too blunt or incorrect in any manner.

ANGPTA (Central) vice president, Kivigho Zhimomi; vice president James Ruokuoselhou and executive member, T. Along Changkiri.

gineer who in 1993 founded the Uptime Institute, said low utilization began with the field’s “original sin.” In the early 1990s, software operating system that would now be considered primitive crashed if they were asked to do too many things, or even if they were turn on and off. In response, computer technicians seldom ran more than one application on each server and kept the machines on around the clock, no matter how sporadically that application might be called upon. Most of these servers are running non-stop from the day they were put to service, and the heat generated by these servers are enormous, if left alone most of these machines would have melted. So in order to control the heat all the data centers have large industrial cooling systems, which also require high voltage of electricity.

Everybody needs to do their bit to save the environment. The industry as started the drive for energy efficiency by choosing to use more renewable energy. But it is also the responsibility of the Internet users to make our planet a cleaner and greener place. Next time when we boot our PC or notebook, head straight to the Power Options and choose a scheme that’s a good tradeoff between performance and power saving. Switch off the main plug when we are not using the PC. Also make a habit of deleting old e-mails which are never read anymore and delete the timeline photos and videos from the Facebook accounts or store them in the local hard disk to free space in the web server. And most importantly plant more trees as they are the only way to control carbon dioxide which will ultimately make this planet green.

Reader’s Post

Sir,

Delay in NU result

Resentment over late results deferred by the Nagaland University has altered a total wastage of time and money filling up of enrollment exam forms and also booking tickets etc to proceed next preparation.

The problem lies in the fact that other colleges started asking to appear exam where as we are still waiting for our undergraduate results, perplexed by the slow system whether to wait for our results or to gear forward.

The university of Delhi has already shuttered issuing online registration forms and other universities as well, entrance test will be carried out in a few weeks time! Now we are facing anxiety left with no time since we are anxiously waiting for our semester results of which there has been no news so far. And now the anxiety over results threatens to spoil our peaceful psyche!

I, on behalf of all the aggrieved students oblige your competency to declare the UG results at the earliest possible manner so to equip oneself to any kind of examination at the right time. And for future convenience please make some changes with the semester’s examination system like how other universities are doing for the betterment of all Naga students in the race of educational realm.

CWC members Ajit Jogi, Gurudas Kamat quit

Ajit Jogi

Gurudas Kamat

MARWAHI/MUMBAI, JUN 6 (PTI): Still smarting from debacles in assembly polls in four states, Congress Monday received a setback with two CWC members-Ajit Jogi and Gurudas Kamat-- quitting the party.

While Jogi, a former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister, formally announced he would launch a new political outfit, Kamat said he was quitting politics altogether.

Jogi, who had been sulking for quite some time following the expulsion of his son Amit after some audio

tapes purportedly indicated his involvement in fixing a bypoll in Chhattisgarh in favour of BJP, announced he would launch a party which would taken on the BJP government in the state. He had accused the state Congress of working as the ‘B Team’ of BJP. The state unit of Congress had also recommended termination of Ajit Jogi’s membership as action against a member of the Congress Working Committee, the party’s apex body, could be taken by the party high command alone.

BJP to observe 2nd ‘Vikas Parv’ at Dmu

(From p-1) with public meetings, seminars, social networking, public interactions and discussions on governance and public issues needing utmost attention and those which have been accomplished or in the process of accomplishment by the NDA government, BJP unit said.

The public meeting with DoNER minister, Dr. Jitendra Singh and his entourage on June 9 would be an important event as issues concerning the state and the region would be highlighted, BJP stated.

BJP unit has invited all people, women, youths, leaders of various social, business and political organizations, to come, attend and to be a part of the celebration, meeting and discussions.

Meanwhile, all BJP party officials and members of various levels and frontals particularly Dimapur and Kohima District have been informed to attend the meeting without fail and to come along with family and friends. The first “Vikas Parv” programme was celebrated at Kohima on June 2 where union law and justice minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda, MoS Panchayati Raj minister, Nihalchand and national BJP vice president Vinay Sahasrabudhe were present besides chief minister T.R. Zeliang and his cabinet colleagues, BJP and NPF party officials and others.

The Congress’ central leadership, however, had chosen to adopt a wait and watch policy with regard to Jogi Sr. “I am independent now...I have the blessings of people and well wishers..,” Jogi told a gathering of about 10,000 people at Kotmi village in his son’s Marwahi constituency where he released the ‘Kotmi Declaration’.

“The day marks the beginning of a new chapter in the history of Chhattisgarh from Kotmi village. Now people of Chhattisgarh will write their destiny themselves. Now, the decisions of Chhattisgarh will be taken in Chhattisgarh only.

“With the blessings of people of Marwahi and well wishers, it has been decided to form a new party. The new party will be Chhattisgarh’s own party,” the declaration said. Jogi said the new party’s name and symbol will be decided after public consultations.

It said that “the police top brass should humbly realise that while it may have every good intentions to bring about an ordered society, few

gung-ho lower cadre officers can spoil its entire image”.

ACAUT said it fully endorsed and support the demand of DEEHA so that it would serve as a lesson to all police force that none was above the law.

While stating that the fragile fabric of democracy with its check and balances must be guarded at all times, ACAUT urged the custodians of law and order to be to be mindful of civil rights.

Mumbai, Jun 6 (PTI): Extending gains against the American currency for the third day today, the rupee firmed up by 28 paise to close at 3-week high of 66.97 on sustained selling of dollars by exporters on the back of strong foreign capital inflows.

The rupee opened sharply higher at 66.95 against last Friday’s closing level of 67.25 per dollar at the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex) market here today and firmed up further to 66.85 before ending at 3-week high at 66.97, showing a gain of 28 paise or 0.42 per cent.

The rupee had last ended at 66.97 per dollar on May 18, 2016. The rupee has gained by 48 paise or 0.72 per cent in three trading days.

The domestic currency hovered in a range of 66.85 and 67.0550 per dollar during the day.

Heavy capital inflows mainly boosted the rupee value against the dollar, a forex dealer said. Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) and foreign institutional investors (FIIs) bought shares worth a net Rs 1,585.01 crore last Friday, as per provisional data released by the stock exchanges.

Meanwhile, the dollar index was up 0.13 per cent against the basket of six global currencies.

New Delhi, Jun 6 (PTI): Favouring consolidation in the public sector banking space, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley Monday said the government as of now is looking only at SBI merging 5 subsidiaries as well as Bharatiya Mahila Bank with itself and a decision on this will be taken soon.

“We are looking at SBI (proposal) at the moment. It is with the government and (it) will respond. The government’s policy by and large supports consolidation. I have indicated that in the budget itself,” he said after a meeting with the heads of public sector banks and financial institutions here.

“We are expecting (approval) shortly,” he said when

and the cumulative losses of Rs 18,000 crore suffered by them were mainly on account of higher provisioning for bad loans.

“The overall operational profit of the PSBs last year was quite significant. It was in excess of Rs 1.40 lakh crore... It is on account of the provisioning that overall the PSBs declared a net loss of about Rs 18,000 crore and a significant amount of provisioning having been made in the last two quarters (of last fiscal),” Jaitley said.

Talking about road ahead to deal with the bad loan problem, Jaitley said the bank CEOs and government had a candid discussion on the subject.

“Various suggestions have come up with regard to empowering the banks itself to function in an environment where, on commercially prudent considerations, they can deal with the situation. The government is fully committed to supporting the banks in this regard,” he added.

With regard to specific suggestions made for recovery of bad loans, Jaitley said the discussions centred around empowerment of banks, protection for bona fide decisions taken on commercial consideration and finding a resolution or taking solution-oriented steps.

Jaitley said the government is fully committed to supporting the banks to deal with the NPA situation and the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Code will become operational soon.

Bilateral trade nearly tripled from $1.6 billion in 2004 to $4.5 billion in 2011.

India’s merchandise exports to Switzerland have more than doubled from the year 2009 to 2014.

New Delhi, Jun 6 (PTI): Committing to support NPAridden public sector banks, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today said they would be empowered and protected in case of “commercially prudent” settlement of bad debts.

With provisioning for NPAs or bad debts leading to Rs 18,000 crore of accumulated net loss for about a dozen banks, he said the government will not hesitate to provide capital beyond the Rs 25,000 crore budgeted for the current fiscal.

After meeting top executives of state-run banks, Jaitley said the Indian Banks’ Association - a representative body of management of banking in India - would discuss and suggest a mechanism to handle settlements of non-performing assets (NPAs) or bad debts.

“The IBA would be examining some of the suggestions.

The government would be also open for discussion...to the suggestions that the banks further put forward with regard to resolving the stress that has been created.

“One of the key considerations was that in situations like these banks should be empowered and consequently should be protected so that they can bring about commercially prudent settlements,” Jaitley said after the review meeting with the heads of public sector banks.

“Within my country I need to create 2 or 3 Switzerlands. So scope for partnership is immense,” Modi told a gathering of heads of companies like ABB, Lafarge, Novartis and Nestle, according to a tweet by Vikas Swarup, the spokesman of the ministry of external affairs.

“We want to have manufacturing of global standards.

Clinton on verge of winning Democratic nomination

Los Angeles, Jun 6 (PTI): Hillary Clinton was poised to clinch the Democratic party nomination that will make her the first ever woman presidential nominee of a major party in the US after she convincingly defeated her rival Bernie Sanders in two primaries ahead of a crucial one in California.

The former secretary of state posted strong wins over Sanders in the island territory of Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.

Clinton will have enough delegates by tomorrow when a multi-state primary vote will take place in six states including California, her close aide said.

“We think we’re going to come out of Tuesday night with the delegates we need for her to be the first woman nominee on a major party ticket in the United States. So, we’re looking forward to that,” John Podesta, chairman of the Hillary Clinton Campaign, told Fox News.

Clinton now has 2,354 delegates - 28 short of the 2,382 she needs to bag the Democratic party’s nomination. A win in delegate-rich California is crucial for the 68-year-old former first lady in her fight against Vermont Senator Sanders, who has 1,565 delegates.

Hillary Clinton California has 546 delegates to be secured.

The other states where primaries will be held are Montana (27 delegates), New Jersey (142), North Dakota (23), New Mexico (43), and South Dakota (25).

“What we’re saying is that she will have the delegates to be the nominee. We’re going to do everything we can to reach out to appeal to his supporters, to appeal to his (Sanders) campaign and to him directly.

We want to bring this party together because the country faces a major threat in Donald Trump. We hope that he will join us,” Podesta said.

He exuded confidence

Special events to mark Int’l Yoga Day in 3 Egytian cities Cairo, Jun 6 (PTI): Special events will be organised in three cities across Egypt to mark the International Yoga Day, as the number of schools teaching the ancient Indian spiritual discipline grew three times within a year in the Arab country.

The celebrations to mark the second Yoga Day will begin at Cairo’s Al-Azhar park on June 21.

“Given the very huge popularity, we shall host events in Ismailia on June 23, and we are making arrangements for the (Yoga Day) to be held in Alexandria possibly on the June 25,” India’s Ambassador to Egypt Sanjay Bhattacharyya said.

He said the number of schools teaching Yoga in Egypt has grown three times in the past one year. Last year, Yoga Day celebrations were held

at the India House in Zamalek, where a large number of people participated.

But as the number of participants grew further, the embassy chose to held this year’s celebration at an open place like Al-Azhar park to accommodate a large number of people.

“We have noticed a strong growth in yoga practitioners in Egypt over the last year, both in popularity and expertise of Yogis. We are proud of Egypt’s support to Yoga Day. “This has encouraged us to reach out wider to students and other groups and to host the event in a large public park in Cairo and to Alexandria and Ismailia for the first time,” Bhattacharyya told reporters at the embassy’s Tagore Hall, outlining the preparations being made for the special events.

that Clinton would be way ahead of Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, during the general elections.

“He (Trump) has consolidated the Republicans. That’s led to something of a tightening of a pulse. But this has really just begun. That’s why Hillary Clinton on Thursday of this week went to San Diego and really laid out a strong case about why he’s unfit, why he does not meet the commanderin-chief test,” he said.

“And what did she use to prove that point? Really his own words, the things he said in this campaign from being in favour of expanding and proliferating weapons of mass destruction and nuclear weapons to pulling out of NATO to offending our allies and supporting dictators around the world,” Podesta said. He argued that over the long term people are going to come to see Trump as not having the temperament to serve as president and commanderin-chief. “The card we’re going to play against Trump is that he has always been for himself.

He’s a self-aggrandiser at the expense of literally thousands of people,” the top Clinton aide said.

Modi’s visit celebrates shared leadership and ties: White House Washington, Jun 6 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit will highlight the growing collaboration between India and the US and their “shared leadership” on the world stage, the White House said on the eve of his arrival here.

“This visit celebrates the remarkable transformation in US-India ties. Over the last seven years, the United States and India have cemented an enduring bond of friendship, built on democratic values, open societies, and a respect for a rules-based order,” a senior administration official told PTI. At the invitation of President Barack Obama, Modi arrives in the US capital tomorrow afternoon as he and Obama are scheduled to meet at the Oval Office. The President will host a lunch for the Prime Minister after the meeting. “The Prime Minister’s visit will also highlight the growing collaboration between our two countries and, more consequentially, our shared leadership on the world stage,” the official said.

“From addressing climate change and providing clean energy solutions, to deepening our economic and trade ties, to preserving cyber-

space as an engine for growth and development, to protecting our shared spaces on the sea, in the air, and in space, the world is better when the United States and India lead together,” the official said.

On Wednesday, Modi would address a joint meeting of the US Congress, the first foreign leader to do so this year and also the first to address a joint meeting of the Congress under Speaker Paul Ryan.

Meanwhile two leading US dailies – the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal – have said that Obama building a relationship with Modi is primarily aimed at China. The two leaders “have each invested in developing a close relationship”, Benjamin J Rhodes, Deputy National Security Advisor was quoted as saying by NYT. The daily said the US is encouraging the rise of India as a giant Asian partner to balance China, and India is trying to accelerate its economy with an injection of investment from American companies.

The Wall Street Journal said among the factors propelling India-US the relationship is China’s growing footprint in India’s traditional sphere of influence in the Indian Ocean.

Beijing, Jun 6 (PTI): Amid deepening divisions over the disputed South China Sea, the US and China today kicked off their annual strategic dialogue with President Xi Jinping calling on the two nations to “manage their differences” to avoid any “major disturbance” in bilateral ties.

Differences between China and the US are quite normal, Xi told the joint opening ceremony of the eighth China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue (S&ED) and the seventh China-US High-Level Consultation on People-to-People Exchange (CPE) in Beijing.

US journalist David Gilkey, translator killed in Afghanistan Wa s h i n g t o n, J u n 6 (AFP): Award-winning American journalist David Gilkey and his translator were killed while traveling with an Afghan army unit that came under fire in southern Helmand province, in a sign of just how dangerous the conflict remains for the media trying to cover it.

The tr a nsla tor wa s identified as Zabihullah Tamanna, 38. Two other National Public Radio journalists traveling with Gilkey in a separate vehicle, reporter Tom Bowman and producer Monika Evstatieva, were unharmed.

NPR said the vehicle in which Gilkey, 50, and his translator were traveling was struck by shellfire near the town of Marjah yesterday.

A Taliban hotbed, the opium-rich province of Helmand is almost entirely under the control of insurgents.

“David has been covering war and conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan since 9/11.

He was devoted to helping the public see these wars and the people caught up in them.

He died pursuing that commitment,” said Michael Oreskes, NPR’s senior vice

US, China begin annual strategic talks tive issues in the principle of mutual respect and equality, bilateral relations can avoid major disturbance,” Xi said, adding that China and the US should strengthen communication and cooperation on Asia-Pacific affairs.

Referring to the growing divisions between the two over the South China Sea (SCS), Xi said the broad Pacific Ocean should not become an arena for rivalry, but a big platform for inclusive cooperation.

The S&ED provided a key informal platform for the world’s two largest economies to discuss strategic, political and economic issues of mutual concern.

While the SCS issue which has now become a major flash point between the two countries was expected to dominate the talks, a host of other issues including Taiwan, Tibet and India’s inclusion in NSG were also expected to figure.

The US has expressed its firm backing for India’s inclusion in the 48-member nuclear club building on the India-US nuclear accord but China has been insisting that there should be consensus among members about inclusion of nations who have not signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

India has not signed the NPT on the ground that it is discriminatory.

Officials here are hopeful of a solution as China-US dialogue is taking place ahead of two of NSG’s key plenary meetings on June 9 in Vienna and June 24 in Seoul during which the issue is expected to come up. As India pressed its case, Pakistan too has applied amid reports that China is trying to push the case of its all-weather ally.

India itself has taken up this issue with top Chinese leadership as part of highprofile diplomacy specially

B’desh SC confirms death for Jamaat media baron Dhaka, Jun 6 (PTI): Bangladesh’s Supreme Court today released its judgement confirming capital punishment for a top Islamist leader for war crimes committed during the country’s 1971 liberation war against Pakistan, three months after it delivered the verdict upholding his death penalty.

The court verdict had paved the way for execution of Jamaat-e-Islami stalwart and media tycoon Mir Quasem Ali, dealing a major blow to the fundamentalist Islamist party.

“He (Ali) does not deserve any leniency on the question of sentence on consideration of the nature and gravity of the offence,” read the apex court’s 244-page judgement.

Sixty-four-year old Ali, who owns several business houses and media outlets is a central executive council member of Jamaat-e-Islami and regarded as a top financer

immediately thereafter the convict will get 15 days time to decide if he would file a review petition (before the apex court),” Alam said.

Ali’s chief counsel said his client was likely to file a petition seeking a review of the apex court’s verdict.

The decision of the fivemember bench of the top court came 16 months after the ICT

sentenced Ali to death for atrocities committed during the liberation war.

In November, 2014, Ali who had challenged the verdict, was sentenced to death on a number of charges including mass killing and tortures at southeastern port city of Chittagong. He was convicted of running a militia torture cell, Al Badr, that carried out killings of several people.

Three million people were said to have been massacred in the war by the Pakistani army and their local collaborators.

Ali went into hiding after Pakistan occupation forces and their local collaborators surrendered on December 16, 1971, and reemerged later as a Jamaat-e-Islami leader.

The apex court’s latest verdict comes after the May 10 hanging of Jamaat chief Motiur Rahman Nizami as the last major war criminal.

by President Pranab Mukherjee.

Ahead of the dialogue, Chinese officials said besides the South China Sea, China will bring up topics related to its major concerns, including the Taiwan question, Tibet and maritime security.

The two countries have differing pursuits on major issues at the strategic level.

However, the two still have many common interests, official media here quoted Chinese officials as saying earlier.

During the talks, top officials of both countries would discuss issues relating to climate change, micro economics and policy, trade and investment, cooperation in agriculture, science and technology and innovation, cooperation between the US Federal Reserve and People’s Bank of China, and people-to- people to cultural exchanges.

“As a man and as a photojournalist, David brought out the humanity of all those around him. He let us see the world and each other through his eyes.”

The Committee to Protect Journalists, a press freedom group, said that prior to the deaths of Gilkey and Tamanna, 24 journalists and one media worker have been killed in Afghanistan since 2001 US-led invasion.

Reports said Gilkey was the first non-military American journalist killed since the start of the conflict.

“Even though much of the world’s attention has shifted away, let no one doubt

that Afghanistan remains a dangerous place for journalists - local and foreign - working to cover that protracted conflict,” said Bob Dietz, CPJ’s Asia program coordinator.

“We are deeply saddened by the deaths of Zabihullah Tamanna and David Gilkey. There are too many journalists who have given their lives to tell the Afghan story.”

Gilkey’s colleagues responded with shock at the news of his sudden death, the first time in NPR’s 46year history that it has lost a journalist on a reporting assignment.

Lulu Garcia-Navarro, NPR’s South America correspondent who previously served as Iraq and Middle East bureau chief, said on Twitter: “We honor our dead.

We remember them. We know that their work lives on. It’s not enough though.

We mourn. #davidgilkey#Zabihull ahZamanna.”

“Where to begin. This is an unimaginable loss. David Gilkey was one of our greatest journalists,” tweeted “All Things Considered” co-host Audie Cornish.

Pakistan denies consular access to alleged Indian spy Islamabad, Jun 6 (PTI): Pakistan will not allow consular access to alleged Indian spy Kulbushan Jadhav who was arrested for his involvement in “subversive activities”, Interior Minister Nisar Ali Khan said today.

“The Indian spy Kulbhushan entered Pakistan with a special purpose. Hence, it has been decided that consular access will not been given to him,” Khan told reporters here.

The Pakistani security forces had arrested Jadhav from Balochistan in March and alleged that he was “a serving officer in the Indian Navy and deputed to the Indian intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW).”

Jadhav has been accused by Pakistan of planning “subversive activities” in the country.

Kulbushan Jadhav India has acknowledged that Jadhav had served with the navy but denied that he has any connection with the government.

“The individual has no link with government since his premature retirement from Indian Navy,” the External Affairs Ministry had said in a statement.

India had sought consular access to Jadhav.

“I’m sorry to tell you this in this way, but Muhammad Ali passed away,” Simon told the crowd before delivering the song’s final verse. “I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains,” he then sang with added poignancy.

Ali, born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr., was considered by many to be the greatest heavyweight boxer in history. He remains the only three-time lineal heavyweight champion of the world, taking home the title in 1964, 1974 and 1978.

Fox apologises for ‘X-Men’ poster

F

ox has apologised for promoting X-Men: Apocalypse with a poster that shows the film’s male villain restraining Jennifer Lawrence by placing her in a chokehold.

The poster Jennifer Lawrence’s Mystique looking on helplessly as she is strangled

by Oscar Isaac’s Apocalypse, alongside the tagline: “Only the strong will survive.”

The poster has been widely criticised for appearing to condone violence against women when it is removed from the context of the film.

Actress Rose McGowan is among those who have criticised the poster, telling the Hollywood Reporter: “There is a major problem when the men and women at 20th

Century Fox think casual violence against women is the way to market a film. There is no context in the ad, just a woman getting strangled.

The fact that no one flagged this is offensive and, frankly, stupid.”

The posters have been spotted in both Los Angeles and New York, but the extent

to which it is being used in promotional material is currently unclear.

Fox has now responded to the criticism in a statement, saying: “We didn’t immediately realise the upsetting connotation of this image in print form.” The studio added that it “would never condone violence against women”.

Warriors beat Cavs to open 2-0 lead

J.R. Smith of Cleveland Cavaliers drives to the basket against the Golden State Warriors during Game Two of the 2016 NBA Finals.

compounded in the third quarter when forward Kevin Love was forced to leave the game feeling dizzy after taking a blow to the head in the second quarter. Love has been placed in concussion protocol, the Cavs said.

Cavaliers talisman LeBron James finished with 19 points, nine assists and eight rebounds but did not play in the fourth quarter once the

Warriors had opened a big lead by the end of the third.

The Cavs return home to Cleveland for Game Three on Wednesday when they will try to make their first telling impact in what has been a disappointing mismatch to date.

Secondary scorer Kyrie Irving managed just 10 points in Game Two as Cleveland shot only 35 percent.

The Cavaliers were supposed to be better prepared for a Finals rematch with the Warriors as they entered healthier and more talented than the hobbling team that lost 4-2 a year ago, but they have been destroyed in the opening two contests.

Golden State has now beaten Cleveland seven straight times, dating back to last season’s Finals.

The latest match-up was all but decided midway through the third, when Curry went to the bench due to foul trouble and with the Warriors leading by 10. Golden State barely missed a beat and pushed the lead to 20 heading to the fourth and never looked back.

Reserve Shaun Livingston was Golden State’s top scorer in the series opener and in Game Two they once again flashed a balanced arsenal of play-makers with Klay Thompson adding 17 points.

OAKLAND, Jun 6 (Agencies): The Golden State Warriors moved into a commanding position in the NBA Finals with a 110-77 romp over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday, the defending champions easing to victory in front of a delighted home crowd.

Draymond Green was the latest Warrior to shine as the team’s All-Star backcourt was afforded another quiet

game, the power forward scoring a game-high 28 points as Golden State opened a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.

MVP Stephen Curry recorded 18 points and nine rebounds but played just 25 minutes and spent much of the night cheering from the bench while his team ran rampant against a lethargic and outclassed opposition.

Unprecedented security measures at Euro

Dimapur, Jun 6 (NPN): The 8th T20 Summer Tennis Ball Cricket tournament, organised by General Administration Project Youth Organisation (GAPYO), is scheduled to be held from June 20 to 25 at public ground Wokha.

Interested teams are requested to collect forms from Uniform House Wokha. The last date for submission of form is on June 18. For more details, contact 9436622361, 8729993287 or 8974517660.

Paris, Jun 6 (IANS): France will ensure an unprecedented strict security regime at the Euro 2016, Sports Minister Patrick Kanner said on Monday.

“The sporting event has never before been so much protected. A hundred percent precaution measures have been taken but a zero risk, naturally, doesn’t exist,” the Sports Minister said in a live broadcast of RTL radio station, reports Tass.

Since the November 13, 2015, terrorist attacks in the country, the French authorities have hosted a lot of large sporting

events without any incidents amid the existing emergency regime, he said. “We held the Paris marathon on April 4 without any incidents and the French Open tennis competition had been staged now for two weeks without any incidents, despite the rain. All the football and rugby matches were also held successfully after November 13,” the minister added. The Sports Minister also described as inaccurate media reports that persons posing a potential security threat to France might be among private

The piece of history that Paes is eyeing is clearly in the hands of Bopanna and the winner of 18 Grand Slam titles will have to let go of his wish to play with Sania Mirza in mixed doubles, a format in which Paes has excelled in the last 18 months, completing a ‘Career Grand Slam’ with his latest triumph at the Roland Garros.

A tense AITA is trying to ensure that no bad blood is created this time before the

Olympics and everyone gets to play.

Bopanna has not revealed his choice as yet but it has been learnt that AITA is likely to ask him to pair with Paes, keeping in mind the popular sentiment as well his ability.

“It makes sense if number one and two players of the country play as a team. Even a layman would also think that way.

Rohan, no doubt, has the choice but here it is question of nation and not an individual. We are hoping that common sense will prevail,” an AITA official told PTI. “And Leander is no less

Chinese firm buys majority stake in Inter Milan Nanjing, Jun 6 (IANS): China’s Suning Commerce Group announced on Monday it was buying nearly 70 percent of Italian football club Inter Milan for $306 million, making it the second European side to be owned

by China, following the recent acquisition of Aston Villa by the Recon Group.

The acquisition was announced during a press conference in a luxury hotel here, in the presence of the presidents of Inter Milan and Suning -- Erick Thohir and Zhang Jingdong, respectively, and Inter Milan Vice President Javier Zanetti and Chief Executive Michael Bolingbroke.

The deal was finalised over the weekend in Nanjing at the headquarters of Suning, a company that started its business with household appliances but diversified into businesses, including real estate and finance, becoming the third largest private firm in China.

“We are convinced that the immense influence of Inter will help Suning to grow internationally,” said President Zhang after the agreement was announced.

Thohir, the Indonesian businessman who became majority shareholder of Inter in 2013, highlighted that the deal will help develop Italian football globally and show that the sport “has no borders”.

Inter Milan, with 108 years of history and 18 leagues and three European Cups, is the most important European club to be acquired by a Chinese firm, a mere two weeks after the Recon Group, owned by Tony Jiantong Xia, bought England’s Aston Villa for $88 million.

Paes to miss out on mixed doubles at Olympics

New Delhi, Jun 6 (PTI): Leander Paes will have to forego his claim on the mixed doubles event to be able to play in his seventh Olympics as efforts are being made to convince Rohan Bopanna to accept him as a men’s doubles partner for the Rio Games.

It is Bopanna, who has earned a direct entry into the men’s doubles event by virtue of his top-10 ATP ranking that also gives him the privilege to pick the partner of his choice.

Vijender’s WBO Asia title bout on July 16

NEW DELHI, Jun 6 (PTI): Former European champion Kerry Hope was today unveiled as Indian boxing star Vijender Singh’s opponent for the eagerly-anticipated WBO Asia title bout to be held on July 16 in the national capital.

The 30-year-old Indian has been unbeaten since turning pro last year, winning all his six contests so far via knockouts. Hope, on the other hand, brings with him experience of 30 bouts, of which he has won 23, two of them knockouts. The Welshborn Hope, who emigrated to Australia , was also a WBC middleweight champion and has moved a division to super middleweight to take on Vijender. “He is a superstar in India but to me he is just a boxer. He has been pro for a year, I have been pro for 12 years. I bring a lot of experience. I know the crowd will be

behind him but I like being the underdog. The pressure is on him. He has to train harder,” the 34-year-old Hope said at a press conference here.

“I have been world No.3 in the past. I have heard about his achievements but all that is in amateur. I am an experienced operator in the pro circuit,” he added. Vijender was his usual understated self when it came to talking before the bout. “Time will decide what happens on July 16. Just wait and watch,” was his reply to Hope’s statement before the two faced off for a brief while.

Vijender’s two promoters -- India-based IOS and UK-based Queensberry Promotions -- revealed that the tickets for the bout would go on sale from tomorrow. The first ticket for the bout was presented to former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag, a longtime friend of Vijender.

“Even in cricket, it’s a lot of fun to beat Australians. So, I hope Vijender beats Kerry,” quipped Sehwag while posing with the ticket. Queensberry Promotions’ Francis Warren said he expects the 10-round contest to be a tough one for Vijender. “There will be two four-rounders, two six-rounders, and an eight-rounder before Vijender’s title bout on that day. I think it is a tough fight for Vijender but at stake, apart from the title, is a place inside the top-15 of WBO rankings. That would pave the way for a world title bout for Vijender soon,” Warren said.

The bout will be held at the Thyagaraj Stadium, which has a capacity of nearly 6,000, and Vijender has already invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi, cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar and several other dignitaries for what promises to be a mega-event.

Gatlin hoping for ‘fastest race ever’ at Rio Rio de Janeiro, Jun 6 (IANS): Justin Gatlin said he hoped to be a part of the fastest ever 100 metre sprint at this year’s Olympics after winning an exhibition event in Rio de Janeiro.

T h e 2 0 0 4 O ly m p i c champion cruised to victory in the Mano a Mano challenge here on Sunday, clocking 10.23 seconds on a temporary floating track at the Quinta da Boa Vista lake in Rio’s west, reports Xinhua.

Trinidad and Tobago’s Richard Thompson was second in 10.29 seconds and Brazil’s Vitor Hugo dos Santos third in 10.42 seconds.

Despite heavy rain, a large crowd turned out to watch the US sprinter as he fine-tuned his preparations for a much-anticipated showdown with six-time Olympic gold medallist Usain Bolt at the Rio 2016 Games in

August.

“We have the utmost respect for each other when it comes to competition and I just want to go out with a bang,” Gatlin said after the race.

“I want it to be one of the most exciting races in track and field history. I want fans around the world to stand still for nine seconds and watch the fastest race ever.”

“The track today was really good, despite the rain.

The event was incredible.

I was impressed by the big crowd given the weather. I’ve never run on water before.”

Gatlin said he was not deterred by concerns about violence and pollution in Rio. “The fact that me and other foreigners are here

shows that Brazil is safe and a great place to come to,” he said.

“You only get to live the Olympic dream once every four years and you never know if you’re going to have another opportunity. That’s why it’s important to make the dream last as long as possible.”

Despite having turned 34 in February, Gatlin is adamant that he is better now than when he won the 100m gold medal at the Athens 2004 Games.

“At the Olympics there are many distractions, like the glamour of the event and the excitement that surrounds it, especially in a place like Brazil. Experience helps you to stay focused.”

Paris, Jun 6 (Agencies): World No 1 Novak Djokovic insists the calendar Grand Slam is ‘achievable’ after he captured his first French Open at the 12th time of asking on Sunday.

His 3-6 6-1 6-2 6-4 success over Andy Murray allowed him to claim his 12th major title and join Don Budge, in 1938, and Rod Laver, in 1962 and 1969, as the only players to simultaneously possess the French Open, Australian Open, US Open and Wimbledon trophies.

He will now attempt to become only the third man to sweep a calendar Grand Slam and the first since Laver in 1969, with victory at the All England Club his next achievable target before the final major of the year at Flushing

Meadows in New York.

“Well, I don’t want to sound arrogant, but I really think everything is achievable in life,” said the Serb.

“You know, winning this trophy today gave me so much happiness and fulfilment. I’m trying to grasp and I’m trying to cherish, obviously, these moments right now. Whether or not I can reach a calendar slam, that’s still a possibility.”

The last player to even have the chance of a calendar Grand Slam at this stage of the season was America’s Jim Courier, who won the Australian Open and French Open back-to-back in 1992.

But he failed while even the likes of Djokovic’s biggest contemporary rivals, Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal have never yet even held all four

majors at the same time, even though they have completed career Grand Slams.

Djokovic’s 12 majors six in Australia, three at Wimbledon, two at the US Open and now one in Paris - have taken him to within five of Federer’s record of 17, while he is just two off the 14 held by Nadal and Pete Sampras.

“It’s incredibly flattering to know that Rod Laver is the last one that managed to do it (the calendar Slam). It’s one of the ultimate challenges that you have as a tennis player,” added Djokovic, who endured a nervous conclusion to Sunday’s final.

Djokovic won the first of his majors at the Australian Open in 2008 but had to wait another three years before claiming his second.

Mexico strike late to beat Uruguay

Mexico’s players celebrate Herrera’s goal and a winning start to their bid for glory in the Copa America.

On the stroke of half time it got worse for Uruguay when Matias Vecino picked up a second yellow card and received his marching orders.

Diego Rolan almost equalized after a superb charging run from his own half by Godin, who laid off to Cavani who fed Rolan, only for the Uruguayan to shoot wide.

Guardado then received a second yellow to earn a red card and from the ensuing freekick Godin headed Uruguay level - before being pelted with missiles from the overwhelmingly pro-Mexico crowd as he celebrated.

The game appeared headed for a draw but Marquez rifled home score his 16th international goal in 131 appearances to put Mexico 2-1 up and Herrera added his injury-time third.

Venezuela beat Jamaica Venezuela defeated Jamaica 1-0 in a physical Copa America Centenario clash that saw the Reggae Boyz reduced to 10 men while coach Winfried Schaefer was expelled from the dugout. Jamaica, riding high after a shock friendly victory over Copa America champions Chile in a warm-up last week, were left ruing a string of missed chances against their South American Group C rivals.

In blazing hot sunshine at Chicago’s famous Soldier Field Stadium, Jamaica made life difficult for themselves with Rodolph Austin sent off midway through the first half for a rash challenge on Tomas Rincon.

By that stage Jamaica were already trailing 1-0 after a sloppy clearance from Michael Hector gifted possession to Venezuela around 30 yards from goal.

Glendale, Jun 6 (Agencies): Mexico defeated Uruguay 3-1 in a stormy Copa America Centenario duel here Sunday that saw both teams finish with 10 men after a prematch furore over a bungled national anthem.

A pulsating clash at the University of Phoenix stadium in Arizona saw Mexico take all three points in the crucial Group C battle through an own goal from Alvaro Pereira and late strikes from Rafa Marquez and Hector Herrera.

Uruguay’s lone strike came from captain Diego Godin, the Atletico Madrid player heading in an equalizer 16 minutes from time that looked to have secured the South Americans a share of the points.

But 37-year-old Marquez’s emphatic strike into the

roof of the net on 85 minutes fired Mexico 2-1 up before Herrera added a third in injury time to complete a memorable victory for “El Tri”.

U r u guay’s players angrily remonstrated with match officials at the final whistle in an illtempered finale that capped a miserable afternoon for ‘La Celeste’.

Before kick-off, Uruguay’s players had looked baffled as they lined up for their national anthem - only for Chile’s national anthem to be played by mistake. Copa America Centenario organizers swiftly apologized for the blunder.

When the game kicked off, Mexico took the lead after only four minutes with a goal that owed everything to the

guile of PSV Eindhoven midfielder Andres Guardado.

The 29-year-old wide player carved out space for himself on the left flank superbly and then whipped in a wicked cross that sowed panic in the Uruguayan defense as Herrera lurked menacingly.

Alvaro Pereira spotted the danger but as he scrambled to neutralize the threat, succeeded only in powering a header into his own net.

The goal rocked Uruguay who struggled to find their rhythm in the early exchanges.

Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani almost went close to equalizing on the half hour, but his low shot was saved brilliantly by Alfredo Talavera in the Mexico goal.

COPA AMERICA

New Delhi, Jun 6 (IANS): The Delhi High Court on Monday dismissed two-time Olympic medal winner Sushil Kumar’s plea seeking selection trials in the 74 kg freestyle category for Rio Olympics, saying that “last minute challenge to selection can disturb the mental preparation of the selected” athlete Narsingh Yadav.

Justice Manmohan accepted Wrestling Federation of India’s (WFI) submission that the “consistent current form” of Narsingh Yadav was better than Sushil Kumar. He also took note of the fact that Sushil Kumar failed to take part in selection trials in 2014 and 2015 as well as in the National Championship in December 31, 2015 and January 1, 2016 and the Asian Championship held in February 2016.

The court said Sushil Kumar has not won any major national or international tournament between September 2014 and now whereas Narsingh Yadav in December 2015, in the Pro Wrestling League, defeated even Purvjav Unurbat of Mongolia, the silver medallist in the September 2015World

Championship. On Sushil Kumar’s contention that he was sent to Georgia and Sonepat (Haryana) for training in 2016, the court said it “does not mean that it is mandatory to hold a trial today” and that too at a belated stage. Holding that the national sports code gives full flexibility and autonomy to WFI to decide the process of selection and when to hold a trial, it noted that WFI conducted a fair and transparent selection trial prior to the qualification event. “In international arena of sports, medals are won not only by ‘brawn’ but also by ‘brain’. The last minute challenge to selection can disturb the mental preparation of the selected. “ C o n s e q u e n t l y, a sportsperson innocently asking for ‘just a trial’ may be jeopardising the chances of the selected candidate to win, having disastrous consequences for national interest. In the duel asked for, the country will be the loser,” said the court.

Also due to short-time gap between the event and the filing of the writ as well as high probability of an injury in a

Indian relay team wins gold in Samorin Meet

NEW DELHI , J u n 6 (Agencies): The Indian 4x400m women’s relay team, led by Jauna Murmu , Ashwini Akkunji , Anilda Thomas and MR Poovamma , clocked 3.31.39sec to win the gold medal at the PTS Athletics Meeting in Samorin, Slovakia.

Only 16 countries are eligible to compete in the relay events of track and field at the Rio Olympics, and as a result of their performance in Slovakia last night, India has improved its 4x400m women quartet’s world ranking to 15th position which is a step towards that goal.

As per the IAAF regulations, the 2016 OG qualification standards has to be attained between the period, January 1, 2016 to July 11, 2016.

The Samorin performance is the Indian relay quartet’s second fastest timing and improves its average from twofastest races to 3:30.24sec.

India’s fastest time in the allotted period came in an earlier event in the IAAF World Championships in Beijing in August, 2015 (3:29.08) through the quartet of Jisna Mathew, Tintu Luka , Debashree Majumdar and Poovamma.

The top-8 countries finishing in the IAAF World Relay Championships held in Bahamas in 2015 have earned automatic slots for Rio. The positions for 9-16 are being decided by calculating the average of the two fastest timings clocked by countries in the period earmarked by the IAAF. In the Slovakia meet, the Indian relay team finished ahead of two teams fielded by the hosts, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary.

Eye on Asia Cup berth as India take on Laos Guwahati, Jun 6 (PTI): Sitting in an advantageous position, an upbeat Indian football team will take a shot at qualification to the 2019 AFC Asian Cup when it hosts Laos in the second-leg play-off match on Tuesday.

India emerged victorious in the first-leg in Vientiane 1-0, riding on striker Jeje Lalpekhlua’s winner to hand the team an upper hand going into the upcoming game at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in Sarusajai.

India had won just one match in eight outings in the joint 2019 Asian Cup and 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers and that has left them to feature in these play-off matches to earn the right to play in the qualifying round of

the continent’s flagship football tournament.

Last week’s win was a relief for Englishman Stephen Constantine, whose future has been under the scanner after a series of poor shows by the national team under his charge.

India, ranked 163rd in the FIFA charts, dominated throughout the match in Vientiane and did most of the attacking against the 174th ranked side who had to defend their citadel for most part and rely on occasional counter attacks.

Despite missing as many as six starting members due to injuries, India were not only able to secure the win but also went on to break the jinx of not having scripted an away win in a qualifier since 2001.

Mohun Bagan forward Jeje Lalpekhlua would look to continue his rich vein of form.

On Tuesday, India will hope to count on home advantage and with the Northeast being a football loving region, the team will hope that thousands will throng the stadium to support the national team.

Skipper Sunil Chhetri will be the man to watch out for upfront. The attention will also be on home boy midfielder Holicharan Narzary.

The Indian team had their first practice session on Sunday evening under the lights after their arrival from Vientiane.

India may have an edge going into the match, but they will have to guard against complacency.

trial, Sushil Kumar’s prayer cannot be allowed, it said.

The court also issued notice to WFI vice president Raj Singh for allegedly filing false affidavit in connection with the case, asking him as to why perjury proceedings should be not initiated against him.

Sushil Kumar won the bronze in the 2008 Beijing Olympics and silver in the 2012 London Olympics in the 66 kg division, but the category was abolished by the International Wrestling Federation (FILA) in 2014. This prompted him to move up to the 74 kg weight category which brought him into direct competition with Narsingh Yadav, 26, who was the top Indian wrestler in this class till then. Sushil Kumar, 32, missed the qualification for Rio Olympics due to injury, and Narsingh Yadav secured the berth. After repeatedly requesting the WFI for holding trials and being denied time and again, Sushil Kumar moved the court for relief.

Kiev, Jun 6 (IANS): The Security Service of Ukraine, SBU, on Monday said it had arrested a Frenchman on the border with Poland late in May, as he was planning to launch attacks during the Euro football championship that kicks off on June 10 in France.

The man had grenade launchers, 125 kilograms of explosives and five Kalashnikovs in his car, reports Efe. At a press conference, SBU chief Vasili Grischak said the man planned to launch 15 attacks during the football event and his targets included a mosque, a synagogue, an institution of tax collection, control facilities on motorways and many other places.

The alleged terrorist came to Ukraine in search of a large quantity of arms.

The Ukrainian counterintelligence services launched the operation, which ended on May 21, with the arrest of the suspect after they were informed that a man of French nationality was interested in buying weapons.

Grischak regretted that there has been no reaction so far from the French authorities, who were aware of the operation.
