All party delegation from Manipur at the meeting with Rajnath Singh, in New Delhi.

Spl. Correspondent

NEW DELHI, JUN 7 (NPN): The three Manipur anti-migrant bills tabled by a Manipur delegation headed by chief minister Okram Ibobi Singh before Union home minister Rajnath Singh will be re-examined by legal and constitutional experts, as per a decision taken after a meeting on Tuesday.

Rajnath Singh is understood to have conveyed to the delegates of all political parties from Manipur the reasons for rejecting the three bills passed by the Manipur assembly on August 31, 2015.

The all party delegation led chief minister O. Ibobi met union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday and apprised him on the matter. The 18-member delegation included deputy CM Gaikhangam, MPCC president & MLA, T.N. Haokip;

Make HPC report public: NPCC DIMAPUR, JUN 7 (NPN): Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) has demanded that the state government make public the report submitted by the High Powered Committee (HPC) on illegal and multiple taxation. In a press note, NPCC president K. Therie said despite reasonable time for the state government to act since HPC on illegal and multiple taxation submitted its report on June 10, 2015, it has kept the report and its recommendations in cold storage.

NPCC said it has therefore placed a demand with the governor of Nagaland that the government must act on the recommendations of the report.

DRDAs pen-down strike from today

DIMAPUR, JUN 7 (NPN): Officers and staff of all the 11 district rural development agencies (DRDAs) have decided to begin pen-down strike with effect from June 8.

Kidney racket: kingpin arrested

MPCC treasurer & MLA, K. Ranjit Singh, BJP unit president Jsh. Bhabananda Singh and BJP MLA, Th. Biswajit Singh.

It was agreed to hold a meeting of all experts called by the Union Home Minister soon for which the chief minister would be informed.

The all party delegation further appealed to the public of Manipur to maintain peace and restraint.

Meanwhile, at least 25 persons, including police officials, sustained injuries Tuesday in a clash between the police and a group of protesters who held a demonstration outside Manipur Bhawan here against the three controversial bills passed by the north-east state assembly.

The police lathi-charged the protesters comprising mostly tribal student union members and young professionals. A police van was also

damaged in the clash outside Manipur Bhawan in Sardar Patel Marg this evening.

IANS adds: President Pranab Mukherjee withheld his assent on May 11 -- nearly a month ago -- to three antimigrant bills passed by the Manipur Assembly which are aimed at regulating the entry and stay of migrants in the state.

An official document, a copy of which is with IANS, says that the President has remarked: “I withhold assent from the bills.” No reason was furnished for the decision.

This implies that the chief minister of Manipur and other political leaders were keeping this information as a closely guarded secret from the people who were in blissful ignorance as they took out demonstrations in the streets to demand implementation of the Inner Line Permit (ILP) in Manipur, to

protect the indigenous people of the state.

Manipur Legislative Assembly Speaker, Thokchom Lokeswor sent the bills to Governor Sayeed Ahmed on August 31, 2015, the day they were passed in the Assembly.

The contentious bills are the Manipur Land Reforms and Land Revenue (7th Amendment) Bill, 2015, the Manipur Shops and Establishment (2nd Amendment) Bill, 2015 and the Manipur Protection of Peoples Bill, 2015.

In view of the opposition from the tribal groups in the state, the governor did not give his assent to the bills but sent them to the President on September 16, 2015 with the remark: “I reserve the bills for consideration of the President.” While the bills were pending in the office of the President there were various forms of agitation in Manipur. At least 10 persons-- one supporting the bills and nine opposing the legislations -- were killed and a few hundred others were injured in police crackdowns.

Normal life has been thrown out of gear as a result of the continuous agitations.

The nine dead bodies of the tribals have been lying in the morgue in Churachandpur district all these months.

BJP state leaders called on Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju on the issue.

NH urges GoI to revoke AFSPA

DIMAPUR, JUN 7 (NPN): Naga Hoho (NH) has appealed the Government of India to revoke the controversial Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) from Naga areas at the earliest.

NH media cell felt that at this juncture, when political negotiations and peace process between Government of India and Naga people with the signing of the Framework Agreement was in progress, to extend the Act, would only hamper the peaceful atmosphere in the Naga areas.

Hoho also criticized the successive governments irrespective of political parties in Delhi for remaining a mute spectator on the enactment of the draconian act, despite repeated appeals by Naga civil societies and human rights activists.

NH expressed surprise on the RSS for openly declaring their support for extension of AFSPA in Northeast and Jammu & Kashmir.

The Hoho also asserted that there was no space for such draconian laws in any civilized society, and by supporting the Act, the RSS has revealed its “hatredness” towards the genuine cause of the Naga people.

Therefore, NH reminded RSS that, the Nagas struggle for self determination cannot be equated with “terrorism” or “secessionism” since government of India has recognized the uniqueness of Naga political history.

State govt bans contractual appointments Says, any contract appointments henceforth shall be null and void DIMAPUR, JUN 7 (NPN): Faced by recent allegations of backdoor and unauthorized appointments in various departments, the state government (Personnel & Administrative Reforms department) in an office memorandum (OM) dated June 6, 2016 has said that all ad-hoc/casual/ temporary/work-charged appointments have been banned.

The office memorandum, issued by P&AR secretary, Angau I. thou said that over the years, the pre-conditions for making appointments on contract basis were

not adhered to in most cases, resulting in irregularities in such appointments and their extensions.

As a consequence of irregular contract appointments, the government’s policy for reservation posts for backward tribe was not being implemented properly, the OM stated. On the other hand, the OM stated that such appointments, being discretionary in nature, violate the principle of equality of opportunity. In this regard, the government has informed that “any appointments made on the contract

basis, henceforth, shall be null and void”.

In view of the position brought about and in modification of the February 26, 2001 P&AR department’s OM, it was decided that contract appointments would be banned.

Further, the OM stated that “a post coming under the purview of the NPSC can be filled up only by appointing a candidate recommended by the NPSC on the basis of open recruitment and it cannot be filled up, even temporarily, in any other manner”.

The OM further warned that the AHoDs and HoDs of the departments would be held responsible if the laid down norms are violated and face disciplinary action.

Directives for recruitment of grade-III & IV N

agaland government has made following provision for recruitment of Grade-III & IV posts in the district offices with immediate effect. It has been notified that all direct recruitment vacancies occurring in Grade-IV posts in the district offices would be filled up by the indigenous inhabitants of the respective district.

All direct recruitment vacancies occurring in Grade-III posts under the establishment of DCs in district administration would be filled up by the indigenous inhabitants of the respective district. However, it stated that vacancies in Grade-III posts in other district offices, other than the district administration, would continue to be filled up by the respective heads of departments by following the normal recruitment policy of the state government.

The government has directed that the Indigenous Inhabitant Certificate may be verified with the help of the latest census records to rule

out possibility of multiple Indigenous Inhabitant Certificates in the name of the same person.

Further, all vacancies in the above posts occurring in the districts, excepting Grade-III posts to be filled up by HoDs, would be filled up through open advertisement and a district selection committee (DSC) would be constituted by respective DCs. DSC headed by DC would include two district level heads of office, an administrative officer, and principal or senior lecturer of local college to be nominated by DC. The committee would follow reservation policy for persons with disabilities in respect of Grade-III & IV posts, and the reservation policy for backward tribes in respect of Grade-III posts, except in the case of Dobashi posts.

However, all appointment orders in respect of Grade-IV posts, excepting those under the district administration, would be issued by respective HoDs on the recommendation of DSC.

Obama backs India’s membership of NSG Be prepared for final solution: V. Horam

Modi and Obama on Tuesday.

WASHINGTON, JUN 7 (PTI): US President Barack Obama on Tuesday supported India’s candidature for membership of the elite Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) as he discussed with Prime Minister Narendra Modi ways to take the bilateral ties to new heights.

Addressing the media jointly with Modi after over hour-long talks at the White House, Obama said it was natural for India and the US, two biggest democracies, to

“deepen and broaden” partnership.

Modi said the two leaders discussed a wide range of issues, particularly ways to take the bilateral economic ties to new heights. The other issues discussed by them included terrorism, clean energy, climate change, regional security and cyber security.

During his remarks to the media, Obama said they discussed progress made in the Civil Nuclear agreement.

“I indicated support to India being a part of NSG,” the US President said amidst opposition by China to such a move. Obama underlined that India needs technology which is critical for its progress and prosperity.

Modi later said, “I am thankful for the help and support that my friend President Obama has extended with regard to membership in MTCR and NSG.” Obama said nonproliferation of nuclear material and technology was also discussed. “I also mentioned the Prime Minister’s very effective participation in the Nuclear Security Summit,”

he said.

Traditional security challenges as well as new challenges, like cyber security, were discussed during the talks, the US President said.

While informing that they also discussed “important regional issues”, he said the US and India have “shared vision of peace and development” and that “complex issues” should be resolved diplomatically.

Modi said India and the US, the two biggest democracies, have worked shoulder-to-shoulder in meeting the challenges that face, not only the two countries, but the entire world.

“Over the last two years, India and the US have been cooperating on global issues like climate change, nuclear security, terrorism...I feel proud, not just as friends but as two countries, on this and we will continue to work shoulderto-shoulder,” he said.

“The more we work together in new areas, the better it is for the benefit of the world as well as our two countries, which our dream,” the Prime Minister said.

DIMAPUR, JUN 7 (NPN): NSCN (I-M) on Tuesday called upon all Naga people to be prepared for the final solution, stating that a strong foundation has been laid with the signing of the Framework Agreement between the Government of India (GoI) and NSCN (I-M), said MIP Kilonser V. Horam Addressing the 15th Foundation Day of ‘Operation Salvage’, a rehabilitation centre, at Heningkunglwa, Peren as the chief guest, Horam was optimistic by saying that the “best solution for the Nagas was coming and that every citizen should be prepared and think what they can do for the nation”.

“The framework agreement is based on the uniqueness of Naga history, which means Nagas are a free people and they have never been a part of Union of India”, stated Horam.

He reminded that both-GoI and NSCN (I-M), had acknowledged that sovereignty of Nagas lie with the Naga people

and sovereignty of India lies with the Indian people.

While informing that both government of India and NSCN (I-M) had agreed on “shared sovereignty” on the basis of mutual co-existence between the two entities, Horam, on the issue of defense, said there was a proposal to have a “joint defense” mechanism. “Nagas will have its own internal defense, while India will aid the Nagas whenever there is an external aggression”, Horam added.

Exhorting on the present day scenario, he said technology and connectivity had exposed young people to culture,

traditions and habits both good and bad. However, men, being adventurous by nature, want to try new things without thinking of the consequences and thereby fall into bad habits, he said.

Encouraging the members of the centre, Horam said everyone was sent to the world with a mission, but some get lost along the way. “If we can’t back track our way, we will be lost forever”, he added.

While assuring the clients and guardians that all basic needs would be provided by the government, Horam at the same time opined that only those clients who were totally

transformed should walk out of the gate.

At the programme Horam also handed over a multipurpose Xenon pick-up truck to the centre on behalf of the government. He also informed that the board of directors would be set up soon for the better management of the centre and assured the construction of a multi-purpose building.

At present, there are 50 clients at the centre including one each from Arunachal Pradesh and Rajasthan. The youngest at the centre is 15 years while the oldest inmate is 53 years. Earlier, invocation was pronounced by Horasambe, pastor Operation Salvage, welcome address by director of the centre, Atoho V. Yeptho and a special number presented by inmates of the centre.

of Rs.250 and Rs.240 per kg which was much higher than the Rs. 180 price fixed by the govt/KMC. Citing an example of public/consumers burning more than 100 DTC buses in Delhi for raising bus fare from 50 paise to Rs.1and from Rs.1 to Rs.2, NVCO cautioned it won’t tolerate overcharging by traders.

Questioning the inaction of the public/consumers, the district administration, and KMC on the matter, NVCO also expressed doubts over the quality and standard of meat available in the market and asserted the need of a proper slaughter house in order to address the problem.

NVCO also highlighted the illegal practices of remov-

ing original/company printed price on motor parts, student’s text book/exercises book and replacing with higher price tag.

It informed that such illegal practices amount to exploitation of consumer rights as per the Consumer Protection Act, 1986.

“Common activities such as fund-raise by way of selling lottery ticket, raffle draw, buffet ticket, calendar, concert ticket, moudi, packed cooked meat/ vegetable/ fruits, etc including selling local newspaper by way of donation were common in Kohima which affect the prices and also results in harassment of citizens,” NVCO maintained.

It stated that no authority was taking any initiative

to control these nuisances except the Angami Youth Organisation (AYO), which has banned such activities within its jurisdiction. NVCO also opined that price monitoring includes transportation charges and daily wages for skilled or unskilled including motor workshop, therefore charges should be properly regulated in a reasonable and consumer friendly manner.

Further, NVCO called for exigent implementation of transportation/carriage charges depending on types of vehicles such as T.C. Truck, other trucks, mini truck and Tata mobile as per distance such as Kohima – Dimapur and Dimapur – Kohima and town trip, etc.

Cong faces fresh crisis: 6 Cong MLAs in Tripura quit

TMC General Secretary Mukul Roy along with rebel Congress MLAs who joined the party addresses a press conference in Agartala on Tuesday. (PTI) AGARTALA, JUN 7 (PTI): Congress Tuesday faced another crisis in the north east with six dissident MLAs in Tripura quitting the party and joining the Trinamool Congress, which will now become the main opposition party in the Left-ruled state.

Tripura is the fourth north eastern state after Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and Meghalaya where Congress has been hit by dissidence.

The six rebel Congress MLAs led by former Leader of the Opposition Sudip Roy Burman, submitted a letter to Tripura Assembly Speaker Ramendra Debnath saying they are quitting the party and joining the Trinamool Congress.

Of the six dissident

MLAs, Bur man, Biswabandhu Sen, Diba Chandra Hrankhawl and Asish Saha were present when the letter signed by the MLAs was handed over to the Speaker.

Two other MLAs -- Dilip Sarkar and Pranajit Sinha Roy -- were not present on the ground that they were unwell but spoke to the Speaker over phone, official sources said.

Confirming that he has received the letter, Tripura Assembly Speaker Ramendra Chandra Debnath said, “It was signed by six Congress MLAs informing me that they have joined the Trinamool Congress.” The Speaker that he would review their plea.

Burman has been elected leader of the TMC legislature group in Tripura and

is expected to stake claim to the post of the Leader of the Opposition.

This brings the Congress’ tally in the 60-member Tripura assembly to three from 10. State Congress president Birajit Sinha and two other MLAs remain with Congress. In the 60- member House, the Left Front has 50 seats. Assembly elections will be held in Tripura in 2018.

Another dissident Congress MLA Jiten Sarkar, who has resigned from the Assembly, has expressed willingness to join ruling CPI(M), according to CPI(M) state secretary Bijan Dhar.

Dhar said that Sarkar is a former member of CPI(M) who had won Assembly elections five times on CPI(M)

ticket and was Speaker of the Assembly for nine years.

He would be taken back in CPI(M), he said.

The Congress rebels said they have resigned over the party’s decision to partner with the Left in the West Bengal elections, that saw Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Conference defeat the alliance with a big decisive win.

A combative Burman, who was the Congress’ chief ministerial candidate in the last elections, said, “Our objective in joining the Trinamool is to defeat this corrupt, anti-people government of the Left.”

Burman had earlier resigned from the post of the Leader of the Opposition in protest against the Congress-Left tie-up before the West Bengal Assembly elections.

Still reeling from the loss of Assam, a state it had ruled for 15 years under the stewardship of Tarun Gogoi, to the BJP last month, Congress faced rebellion in its ranks in Meghalaya, where it rules with a razor thin majority and the help of allies.

In Arunachal, Kalikho Pul became the Chief Minister with the support of BJP in February this year after quitting the Congress along with 19 rebel party MLAs in the 60-member house. BJP with 11 MLAs and two independents backeed him.

Pradyot Deb Barma, former Tripura Congress chief termed the resignations as “politics of opportunism,” and is confident that the Trinamool will not benefit from his party’s loss.

clared joining the party (Congress), a party source said.

Anti-tribal bill : JAC calls 10-day 12-hour Dima Hasao bandh peaceful Mizoram church leaders against practising yoga economic blockade on NHs in Manipur Correspondent IMPHAL, JUN 7: Joint Action Committee Against AntiTribal Bills (JAC) has called for a 10-day long economic blockade on national highway in Manipur from midnight of June 9 in protest against government’s move to introduce inner line permit (ILP) system in the state.

The decision was taken in a joint meeting with Outer Manipur Tribals’ Forum (OMTF), an apex body of some tribes on Tuesday.

In a press release here, JAC also informed that they have decided to impose a ban on all ongoing national projects in the tribal areas starting

from the same day.

“This is in protest against the prolonged ill treatment meted out to the tribal people which has been manifested in the three anti-tribal bills passed by Manipur Legislative Assembly on August 31, 2015,” the release said.

JAC reiterated that the tribal people will not settle for anything unless there would be a permanent and sustainable solution and will continue the fight for tribal identity and land rights JAC alleged that in addition to the three bills, three other prominent demands by the “dominant valley community” were in the pipeline which can be perceived as the

AIZAWL, JUN 7 (PTI): Leaders of a 13 major churches of Mizoram have appealed to the church members to refrain from practicing yoga.

4th, 5th and 6th anti-tribal ‘bills’.

The demand for Manipur Population Commission, Manipur Land Reforms Commission and the demand for inclusion of Meiteis in the Scheduled Tribe list have the potential to be more detrimental to the rights of the tribal people, the JAC alleged.

These three demands were the exclusive designs of the dominant valley community to grab tribal lands and undermine tribal rights, and were also an integral part of the “communal” Manipur government’s long-term policy of subjugation, marginalization and exclusion of the tribal people.

60-yr old woman’s body found in manhole KOLKATA, JUN 6 (PTI): Body of a 60-year-old woman was Tuesday recovered halfstuck inside a manhole of a building in Chakraberia area in the southern part of the city, police said.

Sunanda Gangopadhyay’s body was found half-stuck upside down inside a manhole of the building on Bakul Bagan Road in the Bhowanipore Police Station limits, Joint Commissioner of Kolkata Police of the Special Task Force (STF) Vishal Garg, who visited the murder site said.

There was no injury mark on the woman’s body but the way the body was lying upside down in the drain was “quite unnatural”, Garg added.

“About one feet of Sunanda’s legs were outside the sewerage tank with her tongue coming out of her mouth but there was no sign of any injury on her body nor there was any sign of any strangulation. We are still unsure and are waiting for the post-mortem report for a confirmation on that,” Garg said. Also nothing was “missing from Sunanda’s room and that created more confusion about the woman’s death, he added.

On whether the woman could have slipped into the open-manhole, Garg said, “We are not ruling out anything...

There can be a possibility of that also. The sewerage tank is around 4 to 4.5 feet deep and

the cover of the manhole was kept aside,” Garg said. Sunanda, who was running an NGO and used to provide private tuition to local boys and girls, was staying alone in the house for the last 50 years, Garg said.

Locals alleged that Sunanda, separated from her husband Buddhadeb for a few years, was murdered by some promoters of the area who were eyeing the old building for long time.

Kejriwal writes to Rajnath, takes on Modi

NEW DELHI, JUN 7 (IANS): In a fresh salvo against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday urged Home Minister Rajnath Singh to name consultants hired by the Modi government since 2014.

In a hard-hitting response after the home ministry sought information about officials and consultants with the Delhi government, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader hoped similar facts were also being sought from other states.

“You have sought to know the number of IAS posts now held by other officers. As per my knowledge, there won’t be more than two or three such officers.

“I am confident that the central government would have also asked for this information from N. Chandrababu Naidu, Vasundhara Raje, Devendra Fadnavis and Shivraj Singh Chouhan as well,” Kejriwal wrote in a letter.

The AAP leader said legal experts had told him the central government had no authority to seek this information from him.

Kejriwal remarked sarcastically that he was happy Modi

MoS HRD Katheria calls Rahul Gandhi ‘Pappu’ KOTA, JUN 7 (PTI): In an apparent dig at Rahul Gandhi, Union minister Ram Shankar Katheria has said that ‘Pappu’ is not understanding the achievements of the Modi government which he termed as “excellent”.

“Modi government is doing great deal of works but Pappu is not understanding it,” he said.

Katheria and Minister of State for Power, Coal and Renewable Energy Piyush Goyal were here yesterday to take part in the Vikas Parv celebrations marking two years of NDA government.

The ministers lauded the welfare schemes and listed the achievements of the Narendra Modi-led NDA government, terming the tenure as historic.

Listing the achievements, Goyal said the country has registered a GDP growth of 7.9 per cent in the year 2015-16, claiming it to be the maximum by any of the big countries in the world, thus proving the strength of the economic policies of the government.

“India has made notable progress in power and coal production sectors and efforts are underway to ensure low power tariffs and regular power supply to the people,” Goyal said.

He lauded the Jan Dhan Yojana started by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that it has enabled lakhs of people of the country to have bank accounts.

He also hailed the new crop insurance policy for farmers and the efforts made for the ex-servicemen under the OROP scheme.

Arvind Kejriwal was taking so much interest in the affairs of the Delhi government.

“The prime minister spends much of his time abroad.

But when he is in India, much of his time is consumed on matters related to the Delhi government.”

Kejriwal then sought information about the number of consultants hired by the Modi government in the last two years. He asked Rajnath Singh to tell him how many officers not from the IAS held posts meant for IAS officers in Uttar Pradesh when he (Rajnath Singh) was its chief minister.

Kejriwal’s letter came in

Journalists agents of social change: Maneka Gandhi NEW DELHI, JUN 7 (IANS): Describing journalists as agents of social change, Women and Child Development Minister Maneka Gandhi on Tuesday said there is need to empower them with accurate and timely information.

“Journalists are agents of social change. There is need to empower the journalists with correct and timely information since they can become a big social multiplier,” she said after inaugurating the first-ever ‘All India Women Journalists Workshop’ here.

The minister dubbed the workshop a “historic” step. It was organised by the ministry in association with the Press Information Bureau, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.

Showcasing her ministry’s achievements during the last two years, Gandhi sought feedback and suggestions from participating journalists from across the country.

The participants included 250 representatives from the print, electronic and online media and from small and regional media organisations.

The minister highlighted major government initiatives like ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padhao’, Juvenile Justice Act, adoption reforms and CARINGS portal, 33 per cent reservation for women in police, new initiatives in Integrated Child Development Services, one-stop centres for women in distress, among others.

The discussion turned lively after journalists from the regional media brought to her attention many loopholes

Kidney racket: Kingpin arrested; 10 docs to be quizzed NEW DELHI, JUN 7 (PTI): Four days after the busting of the kidney racket in Apollo Hospital here, T Rajkumar Rao, the kingpin, and three others were today arrested, even as police said 10 doctors are likely to be questioned in connection with the case.

Rao, aged around 40 years, who is believed to be associated with similar rackets in Nepal, Sri Lanka and Indonesia, was arrested in West Bengal today. He will be produced before a court there and brought to Delhi on transit remand, a senior police official said. Rao, who was under police scanner for operating similar rackets in Jalandhar, Coimbatore and Hyderabad, was identified with the interrogation of the middlemen in the racket and teams were rushed to several states to track him down.

The official said all ten doctors in Apollo Hospital’s internal assessment committee for transplant surgeries will be quizzed. The committee comprises senior doctors working at the hospital, independent doctors and a government doctor.

Earlier in the day, police arrested a married couple and a woman, all identified as kidney donors associated with the racket.

response to a home ministry letter of May seeking details from the Delhi government about officers on deputation.

Kejriwal also asked Rajnath Singh to detail the steps taken by the central government to contain what he said was the deteriorating law and order situation in Delhi.

He said he was “worried” over rising incidents of crime in the capital.

“Day-by-day, incidents of rape are increasing. The law and order situation has been badly hit... There is jungle raj... As Chief Minister, I am worried.

“I request you to tell me what steps have been taken by the central government and the Lt. Governor to contain the situation.”

He asked Rajnath Singh to dedicate at least an hour every day on issues related to law and order in Delhi -- till such time Delhi Police was made accountable to the elected government.

Earlier in the day, AAP leader Sanjay Singh accused Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung of “spying for the PMO” and alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) wanted to destabilize the Delhi government.

The three were identified as Umesh and Nilu, who are husband and wife residing in Kanpur, and Mamta alias Maumita, wife of one of the five accused arrested last week.

During interrogation, Umesh and Nilu told police that they had sold their kidneys for Rs 4 lakh and Rs 3 lakh respectively as they were in urgent need of money for their minor son’s leg surgery.

They also told police that when they came to know about the actual price in which their kidneys were sold, they felt deceived, an official privy to the investigation said.

The third accused, Mamta, is the one who actually led police to the kidney racket.

On the day it was busted, Mamta was spotted indulging in a heated exchange with her husband, Devashish Moulik, and when the police intervened, on receiving a call regarding the matter, they were stunned by what they heard. Mamta accused Devashish of cheating her with the amount he received after her kidney was sold.

During investigation, it came to light that Devashish had offered his own kidney first but on being declared unfit he convinced his wife to do so, the official said.

Maneka Gandhi in the current system.

A scribe from Chhattisgarh raised the issue of death of two children in an anganwadi after consuming stale milk while another journalist rued lack of electricity in anganwadis in the tribal belt of Gujarat.

The participants also discussed issues relating to the implementation of adoption laws, child nutrition, women’s safety, sexual harassment at workplaces and ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padhao’ programme and gave suggestions for the national women’s policy.

Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Nirmala Sitharaman made a presentation in the second half of the workshop, highlighting the achievements and new initiatives of the government during the last two years.

An exhibition was also organised outside the venue to showcase the live monitoring of Child Helpline 1098 and district-level initiatives under the ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padhao’ campaign.

CBI questions Harish Rawat for second time

Row over ‘Udta Punjab’ escalates, Kashyap calls Censor chief ‘oligarch’

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat arrives at CBI headquarters for questioning in connection with the sting CD probe in New Delhi on Tuesday. (PTI) NEW DELHI, JUN 7 (IANS): The CBI on Tuesday questioned Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat for the second time over a “sting” video that purportedly shows him offering bribe to buy legislative support in the state assembly.

Rawat reached the Central Bureau of Investigation headquarters here after 11 a.m.

The questioning began a little later and continued for around two-and-half hours, a CBI official told IANS. “ H a r i s h R awa t wa s quizzed for around two and a half hours at the CBI headquarters. He will be called again for questioning, if necessary,” the official said. Sources in

the agency claimed that after Rawat failed to furnish full and complete details on many issues in the second round of questioning, he is to be called again. However, they declined to elaborate on the specific points on which he did not furnish details.

Rawat has maintained that he “fully cooperated” with the CBI. Rawat had been questioned in the same case for around five hours on May 24.

The sting video purportedly shows Rawat offering money to rebel Congress legislators to win their support ahead of a March 28 floor test in the 70-member Uttarakhand house.

Nihalani a “stooge” of the government.

The “Bombay Velvet” director took to Twitter to vent his ire at the Censor Board and said there is no sense of freedom.

“I always wondered what it felt like to live in North Korea... Ab to plane pakadney ki bhi zaroorat nahin...,” he posted on Twitter.

“I request Congress, AAP and other political parties to stay out of my battle. It’s my Rights vs the Censorship. I speak only on my behalf.” The “Gangs of Wasseypur” helmer, who often faces the burnt of censorship, says his fight is not against the Censor Board. “It’s my fight Vs a dictatorial man sitting there operating like an oligarch in his constituency of censor board, that’s my North Korea,” he said. “Rest of you go pick your own fights. I will fight mine. So please don’t colour my fight with any political affiliation because there is none.” The movie is produced

by Kashyap’s Phantom Films and Ekta Kapoor-led Balaji Films.

AAP and Congress accused Punjab’s ruling SADBJP alliance of exercising its influence to “censor” the movie, a charge denied by the

state government.

Punjab Tourism and Cultural Affairs Minister Sohan Singh Thandal said, “any movie or film which is not in the interest of state and which tries to defame Punjab should always be opposed.”

Punjab BJP Chief and Union Minister Vijay Sampla hailed the move of the Censor Board and any attempt to defame Punjab, which is a foodbowl of the country, should be dealt with sternly.

Attempts to reach Nihalani over phone were met without success. When contacted, I&B ministry officials said the CBFC is independent when it comes to certification of films.

The ministry is, however, relooking at the entire process of certification of films in the light of the Shyam Benegal committee report which had given its suggestions recently, they added. Vani Tripathi, a member of the Censor Board, said Kashyap can approach the Film Appellate Tribunal to redress his grievances over any censorship issue.

But Kashyap said nothing can be done till a formal communication is received from the Censor Board on any changes that needed to be incorporated.

SC reserves verdict on appeals in DA case against Jayalalithaa NEW DELHI, JUN 7 (PTI): Supreme Court Tuesday reserved its verdict on a batch of appeals filed by Karnataka government and others against the High Court order acquitting Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa and others in a disproportionate assets case.

A vacation bench comprising justices P C Ghose and Amitava Roy, which has been hearing the appeals of the state government and DMK leader K Anbazhagan against the acquittal, concluded hearing arguments.

Senior advocate Siddharth Luthra, appearing for Karnataka government, dealt with the alleged roles of six firms and the evidence regarding assets and funds held by each of them.

The firms, which found mention in the trial court records, are Lex Property Development, Meadow Agro Farms Ltd, Riverway Agro Products Pvt Ltd, Ramraj Agro Mills Ltd, Signora Business Enterprises Pvt Ltd and Indo Doha Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals Pvt Ltd. “The issue of the matter is that these companies

were purchased (takeover of shareholding) by introduction of the accused persons (other than A-1 Jayalalithaa) as directors and removal of existing directors. The control of these companies were taken by the accused persons, after which bank accounts were opened and as large amount of cash was deposited into these accounts,” the written note submitted by Luthra said.

The note also gave a chart showing cash flow and purchase of property.

Dealing with the role of the firms, Luthra claimed that “in essence these companies were used as receptacles of ill- gotten cash for which no explanation was given during investigation nor during the trial. Such cash becomes the basis for large scale properties being purchased where all negotiations were done at the house of A1 (irrespective of where the property situated in Tamil Nadu).”

The senior lawyer also submitted an amended chart to give details of transaction of funds including the details of cash deposits.

NEW DELHI/CHANDIGARH, JUN 7 (PTI): The row over drug-themed Bollywood film “Udta Punjab” slated for release on June 17 escalated on Tuesday with co-producer Anurag Kashyap hitting out at Censor Board chief Pahlaj Nihalani, calling him “oligarch” and “dictator” and that it was like living in North Korea.

The Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Diljit Dosanjh starrer movie that delves into how the youth in Punjab have succumbed to drugs, also unleashed political sparring, prompting Kashyap to ask parties to stay away from the censorship row. Punjab goes to polls next year.

The makers of the film are said to have been asked by the Revising Committee of the Censor Board to remove all references to Punjab and to make 89 cuts. Kashyap, however, said they are waiting for an “official letter” from the Board in this regard.

Kashyap got the support of several filmmakers including Karan Johar, Mahesh Bhatt, Ram Gopal Varma and Mukesh Bhatt. “It is a dark day for freedom of expression and creativity in the country,” Mukesh Bhatt said, calling

P Raval, appearing for the companies, opposed the submissions made by Karnataka government. The senior lawyer further said “The trial court by order dated September 27, 2014, in the absence of the present respondent companies being arraigned as accused persons, without notice and without hearing, purported to exercise powers under section 452 of CrPC and directed confiscation of properties registered in the name of six companies to the state govern-

ment...”.

The firms also disputed the locus of Karnataka government in filing the appeals in the apex court.

Dealing with the probable situations, the companies said that there was no question of “any attachment or disposal of their property” by the Karnataka government.

Earlier, the apex court had said that acquiring assets “per se” is not a crime unless the sources are found to be illegal.

The court had outlined the three options available to it and said it may either uphold the High court verdict or reverse it or re-appreciate the entire evidence which may lead to fresh re-trial or it can also remand the matter to the High court for fresh consideration.

Senior advocate Dushyant Dave, also appearing for Karnataka, had said, “The judgement of the High Court reflects violent miscarriage of justice and it is perverse beyond imagination.

Purposeful planning

O

n December 3,2014 Nagaland Post organised a three-hour long interactive Conclave in Dimapur, on its 24th anniversary with the objective of exploring wider inputs towards a more people-oriented and participatory planning especially for states like Nagaland. The idea behind the conclave was to learn about grass root planning in other states through interactive sessions with experts from those states and then draw comparisons.

The conclave had the highly reputed Bhutan Royal government official and inspirer of GNH Dasho Karma Ura, give an inspiring power point presentation.

At the conclave, those present were enlightened on how the Bhutan experience created a bridge between common people and planning experts to share their ideas and which led to a synthesis of ideas. The idea was to bring people from diverse walks of life such as- educationists, economists, social activists, environmentalists, religious leaders etc to a common platform to encourage suggestions that came from their respective rich experiences.

The second Conclave of Nagaland Post was held on its 25th anniversary on December 3,2015. In the second conclave, eminent media and NGOs involved in development shared their experiences and offered suggestions. Nagaland Post holds the view that planning has so far been governmentcentric or totally dominated by bureaucratic thinking; whereas planning should be open to people and then formulation be outsources to professional experts from private firms. The initiative may be understood as preparation for a realistic blueprint for socio-economic development and planning.

The challenge has to be met through an evolution of political concepts with economic vision in order to build a foundation that includes- easily available power, empowering the youth, excellent communication networks, involvement of educationists, environmentalists, professionals, traditional and religious leaders and also to underline the need to curb lawlessness with a firm hand. When potential investors from outside are less keen to do business in the state, the causes and factors must be understood and remedial steps taken to assure investors. The problem in states like Nagaland is that the government is saddled with several thousand of government servants and a few thousand officers in as many departments who eat up precious financial resources. This clearly shows that the state machinery has overgrown to gigantic, inefficient and wasteful proportion. Thousands of government servants in all departments hardly attend office or do any useful work. Offices seem to work on some strange formula where either one of those in the long chain have to be absent. This means that office work that should have taken at the most one week, is stretched to months. A publicfriendly government means more than mere PR. It is about timely delivery which would not only make the fat-salaried and under worked employees on their toes but also earn the admiration of the public. If any government wants to promote progress, it must first start by toning up the system so that it provides efficient service to the people. Providing efficient service, today assumes importance in the global context as it is an indication of the ability of the system to promote true progress when so much has been made available within the frame of the system. Unless some drastic changes are imposed, any plan for progress will only regress and perhaps that is what has been the manifestation.

DailyDevotion The Greatest Source of Power Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do… —John 14:13 Am I fulfilling this ministry of intercession deep within the hidden recesses of my life? There is no trap nor any danger at all of being deceived or of showing pride in true intercession. It is a hidden ministry that brings forth fruit through which the Father is glorified. Am I allowing my spiritual life to waste away, or am I focused, bringing everything to one central point— the atonement of my Lord?

Is Jesus Christ more and more dominating every interest of my life? If the central point, or the most powerful influence, of my life is the atonement of the Lord, then every aspect of my life will bear fruit for Him. However, I must take the time to realize what this central point of power is. Am I willing to give one minute out of every hour to concentrate on it? “If you abide in Me…”— that is, if you continue to act, and think, and work from that central point— “you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you” (John 15:7). Am I abiding? Am I taking the time to abide? What is the greatest source of power in my life? Is it my work, service, and sacrifice for others, or is it my striving to work for God? It should be none of these— what ought to exert the greatest power in my life is the atonement of the Lord. It is not on what we spend the greatest amount of time that molds us the most, but whatever exerts the most power over us. We must make a determination to limit and concentrate our desires and interests on the atonement by the Cross of Christ.

“Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do….” The disciple who abides in Jesus is the will of God, and what appears to be his free choices are actually God’s foreordained decrees. Is this mysterious? Does it appear to contradict sound logic or seem totally absurd? Yes, but what a glorious truth it is to a saint of God.

Post-mortem in Mokokchung Nagaland – the Jerusalem of India Silencesilent prayer

T

ony Joseph, the former editor of the Business World who is not a “believer-Christian” justified through his undeniable data and evidences that the growth claim of the Indian Christian populace is a mirage in India in an article from the Out Look magazine, 13 April, 2015. His argument was based on solid observations and various analytical comparisons.

For whom is his significant finding an alarm? Is it for the churches and mission agencies?Yes! Indeed! But it is also equally a timely wakeup call for the training institutions.

“Theological education in India is a big enterprise with the mushrooming of Bible colleges,” says Dr. J.B. Jeyaraj, a former faculty of SAIACS. Few others comments that are noteworthy are: “Seminaries have become prodigal children doing their own thing. They are often out of touch with the needs of the church in society at large,” saidDr.Saphir P. Athyal, former principal of UBS; “Mission has not been integrated sufficiently in theological education,” says Dr. H. Hrangkhuma, a historian, missiologist, and the former principal of SAIACS. Dr.Pachuau expresses his concern that the multidimensionality of mission in India has been causing confusions in theological academia and prevents adequate place for mission discipline.

Edinburgh 2010 ‐an International study group on Theological Education World Study Report2009 observes that, “Western theological formation was shaped historically in a situation when Christendom in Europe did not feel or realized the need for Christian mission because its selfknowledge was limited only to itself and was very insular and isolated from other parts of the world. Such a condition resulted in an ecclesiology which did not know much about missiology, and a theological education program, which did not have a missiological perspective.” Theological education in India has been a duplicated version of the West’s concept largely at many institutions. This sickening reality needs to be treated intensively.

Duplicated irrelevant curriculum, non-pursuance in building scholarship excellence, absence of innovative training programs and methods, and institutionalism are some of the key causes for the lethargic state of many institutions. Some institutions seek to be under-covered protectively

I

missional training institutions, which are functional but unproductive or under-productive or purposeless or un-philosophized or institutionalized or commercialized, or all of them.

Remember students trust institutions and set-apart 2 to 5 years of their life span to be under the care of the trainers. Input of the institutions determines what students will be for the rest of their life time. Training institutions in Nagaland - get up and get ready to prepare yourself for better accomplishments in the future.

1. Make sure the faculty are updated with the emerging theological / missiological issues, challenges, and developments. Do not qualify a faculty just for the degrees he/she holds.

2. Consistently pursue academic relevance and excellence.

3. Do not lean on the merits of the accrediting agencies; stand on your own merits.

4. Revise the curriculum once in every five years as contextual challenges change rapidly.

5. Develop new courses and programs with missiological perspectives.

6. Give eminence to build character and capacity of each student.

7. Carefully recruit students, who are “trainable.”

8. Use effective and outstanding ‘practitioners’ (though not theologically trained) as many as possible in your classrooms 9. Discard irrelevant and unworkable theological, missiological, and missional perspectives imported or duplicated from the West.

10. Run your institution for the purpose of Kingdom affairs not for individuals’ satisfaction.

As I conclude I would like to quote what Dr. P. Dozo, former general secretary of NBCC, who is presently involved in training manpower for cross-cultural missions said, “Our theological training must not be traditional anymore. Strategically we must prepare men and women to competently reach the coming generation. Our preparation must be generation oriented against historical and dogmatic fashion.” Amen and Amen.

t’s been four days in Mokokchung since I arrived here from Delhi to visit my in laws, specially my wife’s elder sister who is stricken with cancer for the past 7 months or so.

How time flies! Seems like only a few weeks back that we heard the news, and here she has been bedridden for more than half a year, while those who are hale and hearty carry on our normal activities, busy and caught up in our day to day grind.

The first thing I, rather, we (me and my wife) noticed was the silence in Mokokchung. Even my wife who grew up here and have just begun to live for a year in Delhi could notice this silence. Even thought the lights were shining in the houses, it was like suddenly all the connections of anything that remotely made a bit of a sound had been yanked out from their power source with just their illumination on. It was so silent that you could hear your own thoughts.

How different it was from the hustle and bustle of city life in Delhi, where silence is a luxury few can afford. What with the constant noise from fans, coolers, vehicles, children playing outside and the occasional but regular shrill shouts of the radhi wallas.

Here in Mokokchung even the dogs don’t bark (the reason may somewhat be untrue but universally it is often said that Nagas relish dog meat) so even while I was in one Angami Naga area a few years back, my field guide had told me that the dogs in his village dare not bark for fear of inviting the wrath of anyone who may just chase them and make a delicious broth out of them!

I always thought that the Nagas like the Hmars (who also RELISH dog meat) would be loud in their manner of speech, but that was far from the truth. Or I thought to myself, maybe only the Aos are soft spoken in nature because as I recollect from my PG days in NEHU, some of my childhood school friends who are Nagas were as boisterous like us, if not more loud, particularly a friend’s brother from Tuensang (Tuensang village lights can be seen from the rooftop as I pen these thoughts at nights and how serene and silent it looks), who was hugely built and talked hugely loud and fast, so much that a poor paanwallah in Laitumkhrah, Shillong always had to ask

him again exactly how many paan he wanted when he would say with clenched jaws “Ae thu paan” for one paan and “Thuoms oup” for the common refreshingly chilled Thumbs Up. Today though, I think the young generation prefer Coca Cola/Coke or Pepsi. I can’t imagine how he would pronounce those! Kuoku Kula/Kook or Pipsee maybe.

Here in Mokokchung, I think people really talk low, slightly a decibel higher than a whisper. Whispering was an art I had forgotten as one grew up, but here it was very much alive and about. Of course, the fact is that one could hardly talk loudly when frequently visiting the hospital which has a SILENCE ZONE sign.

Etiquette is to maintain a low tone as low as possible especially in and around hospitals.

At first my thought was how strange one easily adapts to the place where he or she stays for a short time and how we get used to the noise of life in cities and the fact that our body adapts to what we once thought as noise is peace now and what was once peace is silence now. What I did not know was that I was going through a transformation to be my old self again. The one who loved solitude and silence, where thoughts gush out in torrents and streams and in this process as rain water wash away grime and dirt, so I felt my noisy inward was being washed clean and renewed.

I am sure that for someone who has lived all their lives in big cities, they will find this silence unsettling, eerie even. But as the days passed by, the silence began to unravel its mysteries which were just too many. From the second day onwards, I started remembering afresh what I had been missing during all my stay in the city.

This silence was good for my spirit! It began to enter every pore in my body and even to all the noise infested cells in my brain and slowly but surely I felt the soothing effect of silence working its magic throughout me, and, I could finally pray, as prayers are meant to be prayed. Not just a routine conversation and plea to God day in day out of which I had succumbed to. I need more of this silence.

Dedicated to my sister-in-law, Amenla who has gone ahead to be with the Lord.

Myanmar in transition and India

t is two months since the government controlled by Aung San Suu Kyi took charge in Myanmar. The elections that brought her to power were free despite western fears that the military regime would not allow freedom. The question being asked today is “to what extent will Myanmar change?” Amid what look like earth shattering events is there continuity with change? The military regime has ensured it by allocating to itself through the Constitution 25 percent of the seats in both the houses of Parliament and in the State legislatures. An amendment to the Constitution requires 75 percent plus one vote. Thus, no amendment is possible without the support of this bloc of unelected members. Secondly, the Ministers for Home, Border Areas and Defence are appointed by the Senior Military General and report to him, not to the president. Thus in practice there are two centres of power, the civilian president and the military general. That limits the power of the civilian administration.

Despite this apparent continuity one sees many positive signs of freedom. Though the military regime imposed

by the credibility of accrediting agencies; some others focus on numbers of graduating students.

Five prevailing common detriments in the missional academia are, (1) “examination focused” training programs that produce men and women for mere professional employments in the churches and agencies, (2) absence of Christ-modelling faculty who fail to impact “character” on their students, (3) irrelevant curriculum which equip inadequate manpower for the contemporary issues and challenges, (4) imparting information at the cost of ignoring skills and strategies, and (5) reluctance toward structuring innovative new programs and courses.

Effective and productive training program do not require a palatial campus or foreign trained faculty or even under-covering of an accrediting agency, though they are appreciable.

India needs institutions with, (1) a commitment to the specific and unique call given to them, (2) single focus to make the Church grow amidst her contextual challenges, (3) an unwavering determination to produce dependable men and women with character, integrity, innovation, skills, and commitment, (4) consensus among the governing board, faculty, and staff in their philosophy of training, and (5) functional values based on the scriptures and missional needs around them.

I have been in mission-touch with Northeast India, in particular with Nagaland ever since 1994.

When I visited for the first time, God inspired me to designate Nagaland as “the Jerusalem of (for) India.”

Even today I admire the Nagas’ faithfulness toward their respective churches, belief in prayers, generosity to missions, and above all giving their sons and daughters for Indian missions and ministries. Mushrooming Bible colleges at Nagaland, deployed Naga young missionaries in other states of Northeast India, and clusters of Naga students in every Bible school and seminary in other parts of the country are unchallengeable evidences for their Christian commitment.

My optimism is that Naga missional academia could do much more than what they are doing at present in equipping manpower for missions in India. Observations presented in this article are, first of all, to be considered as a wake-up call for the

constitution prevents Suu Kyi from becoming President, the Parliament has created a post that gives her effective control over the civilian government.

She has also been trying to control corruption that was rampant under the military regime. Amid these changes one can also ask whether her government is introducing all the changes required or is there continuity with change in this domain too? One tends to believe that it is the case. For example, her government has freed many political prisoners but retains the restrictions on freedom of assembly that the dictatorial regime had put in place. Some analysts believe that while freeing the enemies of the old regime the civilian government is keeping its own enemies in jail. That should be verified.

Another area of concern is education that the military regime controlled. In fact, every fascist regime tries to take control of education. The Myanmar regime did it by nationalising all schools in 1965 with no compensation. It changed the curriculum to suit the needs of “one race, one language, one religion” imposed on everyone. Student move-

he article “Education in the only answer” by P. Achumse Sangtam of Kiphire in Nagaland Post dated May 6, 2016 needs a clarification from the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Kiphire. The District of Kiphire was created in the year 2004. As per request from the Govt, of Nagaland, Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti sanctioned JNV, Kphire in 2006 with an Official Memorandum Of Understanding (OMOU) that the State Govt. would provide permanent land free of cost to the Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti as well as the temporary buildings to start the Vidyalaya. Accordingly, the Nagaland Govt. through the Kiphire District Administration provided the building of Industries and Commerce department at Jail Ward, Kiphire Town. The JNV started its functioning in the buildings provided by the State Govt. in 2006.

The objective of opening of JNV Kiphire is: (i) To provide good quality modern education including

ments were banned. There was repression as late as 2015 and the president (vice-chancellor) of Yangon University supported it fully. He has now been made Minister of Education. Despite this apparent setback one hopes that there will be more freedom in education.

Religious freedom is one more area of concern. Most minorities feel more secure under the new government, with the exception of Muslims. They were hounded by the fundamentalist groups under the old regime. The State disallowed the name of “Rohingya” that they use for themselves. The usual accusations of them being illegal Bangladeshi migrants and terrorists were hurled at them. After anti-Muslim riots a large number of them are living in refugee camps, behind barbed wires in inhuman conditions, without basic rights. Aung San Suu Kyi did not choose a single Muslim candidate for her party for fear that the fundamentalist groups would use them against her. One expected change in this attitude after the elections.

But the Minister for Religious Affairs has made statements that are not far from what the fundamentalist groups said in the past. However, recently the

government has appointed a committee to dialogue with the Muslims in the camps and one hopes that it will pave the way for towards religious equality.

Foreign policy is what matters in India. Though Myanmar is its next door neighbour and despite the “Look East Policy” India has not given it the importance it deserves.

Dr Man Mohan Singh paid a successful visit to Myanmar and the President of Myanmar came to India. But Shri Narendra Modi has gone to Myanmar only for the IndiaASEAN summit and has not paid a one-to-one visit to the country. As soon as Aung San Suu Kyi became its foreign minister her Italian, Canadian, Chinese and some other counterparts rushed to Myanmar to visit her but the Indian foreign minister is yet to pay her a visit.

India seems to view Myanmar mainly as a place of competition with China and not as a neighbour whom it should court as a friend. Even some people in that country feel that India views it only as a place “Where India Meets China” which is the title of a book by U Thant’s grandson.

That seems to remain unchanged after the elections.

JNV Kiphire clarifies

a strong component of dulture inculcation of values, awareness of the environment, adventure activities and physical education to the talented children of Kiphire District. (ii) To ensure that students attain a reasonable level of competency in three languages. (iii) To promote National integration through migration of students from JNV of Hindi speaking state to Kiphire and vice versa. (iv) To serve in district as local point for improvement of quality of school education in general through sharing of experience and facilities.

The complete handling over of the permanent land of JNV, Kiphire by the District Administration of Kiphire to the Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti was done in July, 2015. Since July 2015 the NVS RO Shillong has been working on the construction of the Permanent buildings of JNV, Kiphire at the permanent site at Tutheze Chak Village. The Process of complete

handing over of the permanent land had taken almost nine years.

The Construction of permanent buildings requires the inspection of the land by the technical expert to prepare a lay-out plan which is to be approved by the competent authority followed by the tender from the construction agencies etc.

All these steps need a considerable time. Category A & B in Class VI admission means 80 & 40 students respectively to be admitted in the JNV. In JNVs which are in temporary buildings, it is under Category B. There are 80 students in JNV, Kiphire from Class VII to X as on 30.04.2016 which will be minimum 160.

Shri. Tapan Kumar Mistri was the Principal of JNV Kiphire from 02-04-2012 to 30-04-2016. As per order of NVS Hqtr.dated 13-102015, he was transferred to JNV 24 Pargana (West Bengal), but for the interest of the students he was not relieved by NVS RO Shillong for want of a regular Principal at JNV Kiphire till the end of academic session 2015-16.

India needs to develop one-toone relations with Myanmar without being obsessed with China. It has advantages that it can use to mutual benefit.

The communities in the border areas of Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland and Ar unachal Pradesh that are separated by the international boundary consider themselves one. They have regular dealings trade, cultural and social exchanges across the border. Inter-dependence is high among them. India should be encouraging such people to people exchanges in order to improve friendly relations with Myanmar. Instead, a month ago India banned barter trade on the border though official trade is moribund. As a result the people to people exchanges may be called smuggling.

India has other advantages too such as middle level technology that Myanmar needs. During its transition to a new economy Myanmar can learn from its 25 years of experience of globalisation. Indian democracy has survived many challenges. Its people enjoy religious freedom despite growth of fundamentalism in the country. Its vibrant civil society is involved in peace processes so it can be an asset when the

The idea of the shifting of students of JNV, Kiphire to JNV, Phek was in the interest of the students of JNV, Kiphire, who need a good and safe vidyalaya campus along with all the infrastructure and basis facilities.

The Construction of minimum number of permanent buildings namely Academic Block, Two Dormitories (One for Boys & one for Girls), Dining Hall, 4/5 staffs Quarter will take at least one year.

Since the infrastructural and basic facilities are lacking in the present JNV Kiphire, the NVS Regional Office, Shillong decided to shift the 80 students (48 boys and 12 girls) to JNV Phek temporarily, so that in one/two years, the permanent buildings of JNV Kiphire can come up and is ready for functioning at the permanent site.

Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti was established by the Government of India only for the future of the talented boys and girls of the District of the country.

Principal I/C, JNV Kiphire, Nagaland

new government of Myanmar is re-launching peace parleys with the ethnic minorities that have waged an armed struggle for autonomy for six decades.

In its turn at a time when the Indian government is becoming hostile to civil society and is misusing its power to punish groups that disagree with it, Indian NGOs can learn from their Myanmar counterparts who have experience of being hounded by the State.

Civil society can thus play an important role in relations with the neighbour but they cannot do it without the government. State-civil society cooperation is essential to improve people to people relations too over and above official links. Unfortunately the government seems to be concerned more about competition with China than with friendship with Myanmar. China cannot be wished away. But the best way of dealing with it is to treat Myanmar as a friendly neighbour whom we need as a link with China rather than as a competitor.

Reader’s Post

Fight against backdoor appointment Sir,

Through this column, I would like to congratulate the Nagaland Voluntary Consumer Organisation (NVCO) for revealing the number of backdoor appointment in a certain government department.

The public atlarge are looking up, to the Nagaland Voluntary Consumer Organisation, to reveal the number of backdoor appointment in the rest of the government department at the earliest and without further delay.

Moreover the NVCO should reveal the number of backdoor appointments in various government department right from the year 2001 or the years before it.

It’s a humble appeal to the NVCO, that to show fairness to all the government department, they should not leave out a single government department in their fight against backdoor appointment.

Talking about areas of cooperation in which the two countries could help each other, he said defence and technology were some of the areas where Japan would like to help India.

“Japan is in the process of identifying what (defence) technology could be transferred to India.

“This would strengthen our security cooperation,” he said, adding that both countries needed partners as the situation was “complicated” in Asia.

The two countries would have to cooperate with each other in order to have peaceful oceans, the ambassador said.

“India and Japan have been discussing issues related to maritime security” which was very important to ensuring peace on the seas, Hiramatsu said.

New Delhi, Jun 7 (IANS): Terming Indo-Japan ties a “special strategic relationship”, Japan on Tuesday said it was working very hard to increase investments in India.

“Japan is trying to increase its investment in India.

We are working very hard to achieve this goal,” said Japan’s ambassador to India Kenji Hiramatsu while giving a talk here on ‘Challenges and Prospects of Japan’s Diplomacy in context of India-Japan Relationship’.

The ambassador said Japan supports the Narendra Modi government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative and hoped that the business environment will improve further in the country.

Hiramatsu said Japan also supports India’s bid to become a member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG).

India on Monday secured Switzerland’s support for its NSG membership bid following talks between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Swiss President Johann SchneiderAmmann in Geneva.

New Delhi, Jun 7 (IANS): The Union government has imported about 13,000 tonnes of pulses to check rising food inflation, and is expecting another 6,000 tonnes of pulses in the next few weeks, the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution said on Tuesday. The imported pulses include 11,000 tonnes of Tur and 2,000 tonnes of Urad.

“Besides contracted import of 38,500 tonnes of pulses, the central government agencies have procured 51,000 tonnes of Kharif and 60,000 tonnes of Rabi pulses so far (from the domestic market),” the Ministry said in a statement here. The Union government has also urged the state governments to seek allocation of pulses from the buffer stock to check any increase in the prices of pulses. “State governments have been urged to seek allocation of pulses from the buffer stock as those should not be sold at more than Rs 120 a kg,” the statement said. “In Delhi, Kendriya Bhandar and Safal have been allocated pulses to sell through their outlets. So far 635.31 quintals of Tur and 245 quintals of Urad have been sold by these agencies at Rs 120 a kg,” it added.

The rupee has gained by 68 paise or 1.01 per cent in four days.

Meanwhile, the dollar index was down by 0.12 per cent against the basket of six global currencies.

Meanwhile, the RBI fixed the reference rate for the dollar at 66.8305 and euro at 75.9194.

In cross-currency trades, the rupee dropped against the pound sterling to end at 97.40 from 96.98 yesterday while recovered against the euro to 75.78 per euro from 75.99.

The domestic currency also moved up against the yen to 61.97 per 100 yens from 62.50 yesterday. Overseas, the US dollar still wallowed close to four-week lows after Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen’s remarks failed to cheer the recently foundering greenback.

Pramit Brahmbhatt of Veracity Financial Services said, “Extending gain of previous trading session, the rupee opened above 66.90/USD levels. Taking cues from domestic equity market which opened on a positive note, the rupee extended its gains further.”

New Delhi, Jun 7 (IANS): India signed a $120 million loan agreement with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) here on Tuesday to improve irrigation and water management infrastructure in Odisha.

“The financing will be used for modernising seven irrigation sub-projects, resulting in improved irrigation in over 100,000 hectares, and strengthening the institutional capacity of Odisha’s water resources,” the union finance ministry said in a statement.

The loan is the second tranche of a $157.5 million financing facility under the Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Programme.

The second tranche activities and the overall programme are due for completion by September 2018.

Mumbai, Jun 7 (PTI): The rupee continued to rule firm against the American currency for the fourth day, moving up by another 20 paise to close at a fresh three-week high of 66.77 on sustained selling of dollars by banks and exporters amid strong recovery in domestic equities.

Expectations of more foreign capital inflows in view of robust domestic equities boosted the rupee value against the dollar, a forex dealer said.

The BSE benchmark Sensex bounced back by 232.22 points to close above the 27,000-level after a gap of over 7 months at 27,009.67 on fresh buying mainly in interestbased counters as the Reserve Bank kept its key policy rate unchanged and indication of a rate cut in near future.

The rupee resumed higher at 66.92 as against the last closing level of 66.97 per dollar at the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex) market and hovered in a range of 66.72 and 66.94 before finishing at 66.77, showing a gain of 20 paise or 0.30 per cent.

government’s expectations on growth and inflation.

RBI pegged economic growth at 7.6 per cent and retail inflation target at 5 per cent for January 2017. Explaining the rationale for keeping the rates unchanged, Rajan said: “Incoming data since the April policy announcement show a sharper-than-anticipated upsurge in inflationary pressures emanating from a number of food items (beyond seasonal effects), as well as a reversal in commodity prices.”

Retail inflation soared to 5.39 per cent in April on higher food prices, reversing a downward trend seen in recent months. Besides rising inflation, the crude oil price is also looking up and has touched USD 50 a barrel, from a low of about USD 30, and could increase inflationary

pressures.

Rajan said there are upside risks to the price index trajectory such as firming international commodity prices, particularly crude oil and the 7th pay commission awards which will have to be factored into projections as soon as clarity on implementation emerges. Rajan, who maintained the policy status quo as widely expected, also noted that domestic conditions for growth are improving gradually, mainly driven by consumption demand, which is expected to strengthen with a normal monsoon and the implementation of the pay commission award.

There are firm signs of recovery, which though is still uneven, he said.

RBI said higher public sector capital expenditure, led by roads and railways, should crowd in subdued private investment due to financial stress.

by Rajan if the proposed Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) is put in place before the next review due on August 9.

Mumbai, Jun 7 (PTI): Reserve Bank Governor Raghuram Rajan today left borrowing costs unchanged but signalled a prospect of interest rate cut later this year if strong monsoon rains dampen inflation. He also emphasised that the need for more monetary transmission - passing on the rate cut benefits to borrowers - to support growth revival continues to be critical.

In his penultimate bimonthly monetary policy before his three year term comes to an end on September 3, Rajan said the recent strongerthan-expected inflationary pressures from food and commodity prices brought “considerable uncertainty”.

But strong monsoon rainfall and astute food management to increase supplies could offset those risks, he said.

“Given the uncertainties, the Reserve Bank will stay on hold, but the stance of monetary policy remains accommodative,” he said, adding that RBI will monitor macroeconomic and financial developments for any further scope for policy actions.

Accordingly, Rajan retained the short-term lending rate at 6.5 and the cash reserve requirement of banks at 4 per cent. Commenting on policy, Economic Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta Das said the policy unveiled is broadly in line with

state media shows extreme care and caution in airing negative news about the all The state media largely refrained from allegations that militants of the East Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM) from Muslim-majority Xinjiang province had training bases in Pakistan’s tribal areas.

“We have to wait and see what is the significance of the documentary on LeT on Chinese state television,” an Indian diplomat, who has seen the programme, told PTI. It was a sur prise as China has earlier blocked India’s bid to get a UN ban on LeT operational commander Zaki-ur- Rehman Lakhvi, the alleged mastermind of the Mumbai attack.

China had put a technical hold when India sought a ban on him after he was released from prison.

In March, China had put a technical hold again on attempt to get UN ban on Jaish-e-Muhammad chief Masood Azhar, accused of masterminding the January Pathankot terrorist attack.

China’s attempts to block the UN listings against the two has cast a shadow on its relations with India and diplomatic efforts were on between the two sides to resolve the issue.

Officials say the airing of the footage against LeT’s involvement in Mumbai attacks comes at a time when technical holds put in by China in the UN sanctions committee on some of the LeT leaders was set to expire in a few days.

It is to be seen whether there will be a change of stand in China’s position in UN, officials said.

Islam means peace: Nobel Laureate Kailash Satyarthi

Bomb attack on police kills 11 in Istanbul Istanbul, Jun 7 (AFP): A car bomb ripped through a police bus near Istanbul’s historic centre today, killing seven officers and four civilians in the latest attack in Turkey’s biggest city.

The blast targeted a shuttle service carrying anti-riot police as it passed through Beyazit district, close to many of the city’s top tourist sites, Istanbul governor Vasip Sahin said on Turkish television.

Thirty-six people were wounded, three of them seriously, he added.

There was no early claim of responsibility, but President Recep Tayyip Erdogan hinted the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) was behind the attack.

For the PKK to target major cities such as Istanbul “is nothing new,” he said after visiting the injured at an Istanbul hospital.

“We will fight against terrorists relentlessly to the end.”

In a statement from his office later, Erdogan also vowed the culprits would “pay in kind the price for the bloodshed.”

Kurdish militants have repeatedly targeted Turkey’s security forces, but Islamic State (IS) jihadists have also staged several attacks in Turkish cities in the past year.

Reports said the explosion took place close to Vezneciler metro station, within walking distance of some of the city’s main tourist sites including the famed Suleymaniye Mosque.

Washington, Jun 7 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi today began his three-day US visit by laying a wreath at the Tomb of Unknown Soldiers and paying homage to Indian-American astronaut late Kalpana Chawla at Arlington National Cemetery here.

“Honouring sacrifice, saluting valour. Formal engagements begin with a solemn ceremony,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Vikas Swarup tweeted.

“In homage to hero-

ism and indomitable courage,” Swarup said in another tweet.

Modi also had a brief interaction with the husband and family members of Chawla, senior officials from NASA, Indian-American astronaut Sunita Williams and her father at Space Shuttle Columbia Memorial.

US Defence Secretary Ashton Carter accompanied the Prime Minister. Indian Ambassador to the US Arun K Singh, Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar, US Ambassador

to India Richard Verma and Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Nisha Desai Biswal were also present on the occasion.

“All of us are very honoured that he took time to come and acknowledge the shuttle catastrophe and the deep cooperation that we have with India in the space world,” Williams told PTI. “Personally it is commemorating my friend (Kalpana Chawla),” 50-year-old Williams said.

Modi spoke to Williams’

father in Gujarati and invited them to visit India.

“With health permitting, I definitely look forward to visiting India,” her father said.

Chawla’s husband JeanPierre Harrison presented a set of books on the late astronaut, including a biography written by him, to the Prime Minister.

Modi inquired about him and also asked about the colourful jacket he was wearing. Harrison said he got it from Gujarat.

Minneapolis (US), Jun 7 (PTI): “Islam means peace”, Nobel laureate Kailash Satyarthi has said as he decried the backlash against Muslims and made a strong call to nations to welcome refugees, particularly children, and not generalise them based on the actions of a few who have “tarnished” the image of Islam.

“Islam means peace.

There are hundreds of (references) in the Holy Quran where peace, justice, freedom and equality are taught,” Satyarthi said at the opening of the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize Forum held under the auspices of the Norwegian Nobel Institute here yesterday.

Satyarthi, who shared the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize with Pakistani girls’ rights activist Malala Yousafzai, was asked by a young boy from Cyprus during a live global Q&A about the backlash against Muslims and rhetoric used against them by some politicians as well as the subsequent resentment against refugees amid fears that terrorists could hide among the millions fleeing conflict in countries like Syria and Iraq and seeking asylum in the western world.

Satyarthi, 62, accompanied at the forum by his wife Sumedha, said it was unfortunate that a “handful of people” were “manipulating” Islam and bringing a “bad name” to the religion for their selfish “political” ends and sometimes “emotional” rea-

Geneva, Jun 7 (AFP): More than 10,000 people have died attempting the perilous journey across the Mediterranean to Europe since 2014, the United Nations said today.

“You’ve now had since the start of 2014 -- when this phenomenon of rising numbers across the Mediterranean happened -- 10,000 deaths. That threshold has been crossed just in the last few days,” UN refugee agency spokesman Adrian Edwards told reporters.

UNHCR said the number of Mediterranean deaths had risen sharply in 2016, with 2,814 people dying since the start of the year, following a total of 3,771 in 2015 and 3,500 the year earlier. That amounts to 10,085 deaths in less than two and a half years. “This is clearly an appalling number of deaths that have occurred in the Mediterranean, just on Europe’s borders just in the past couple of years,” Edwards told AFP. “It’s an extremely worrying dynamic,” he said, reiterating the agency’s call for the world to find “viable alternative and regular means of dealing with these movements”.

“They’re happening, they’re not stopping, they need a solution to prevent further lives being lost,” he said.

The International Organisation for Migration meanwhile said the death toll so far this year was already nearly a thousand above the 1,838 deaths registered in the Mediterranean during the first half of 2015.

As of yesterday, a total of 206,400 refugees and migrants had arrived in Europe since the start of the year, mainly landing in Greece and Italy, the organisation said.

aying that Abhishek Chaubey’s ‘Udta Punjab’ has run into trouble with the Censor Board would be an understatement. The film and the CBFC are now at loggerheads and none of the parties are in a mood to change their mind. The revising committee of the Censor Board has suggested as many as 89 cuts in the film, which stars Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Diljit Dosanjh in key roles. The committee also does not approve of the title ‘Udta Punjab’ as it wants ‘Punjab’ to be removed from it. Not only this, it even wants the film to be based in a fictional land.

Quite obviously, the decision has left the makers of the film sad, shocked and angry.

She then started rapping, “Colours of the world, spice up your life, every boy and girl, spice up your life, people of the world, spice up your life” before saying, “Oh you lot are great”.

Responding to the brief cover,

Mel B told Billboard: “I’m very kind of flattered. I think all of us are.

It’s great. It leaves me speechless a little bit.”

Mel C also responded to the cover I mean who isn’t a fan of Adele? So, to know that she’s by retweeting a video of the moment a fan of the Spice Girls is definitely with a series of heart-eyes emojis. Geri Halliwell also tweeted: “Go Adele”. one for the books.”

Sources close to the producers claimed that the Sajid-Farhad film has already breached the Rs 100-crore mark worldwide in gross figures. Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez, Lisa Haydon and Nargis Fakhri are part of the main cast.

“The first big release post the IPL season has always found the audience returning to theatres in big numbers. And that’s why Housefull 3 was released on a record 3,700 screens.

Fuenzalida pulled one back three minutes into stoppage time, heading home a free-kick, but Argentina held on for victory.

cause the Chile defence problems and Di Maria twisted his way into the penalty box but pulled his shot wide of the target.

Di Maria appealed for a penalty after another run in behind the Chile defence, but his claims were waved away and only a corner came from it.

A flowing move saw Argentina create another great opportunity as they quickly turned defence into attack and Banega’s ball into the box was cleared behind for a corner.

Marcos Rojo was gifted acres of space from the resulting corner, but he failed to take advantage and sent a free header wide of the post.

Chile had their best opportunity of the first half after 29 minutes with great link-up play between Alexis Sanchez and Arturo Vidal before the former saw his goal-

Fans travelling to Euro warned

Vijender wants a shot at Rio; promoters unhappy

Paris, Jun 7 (Agencies): Fans travelling to Euro 2016 in France have been warned by the Foreign Office to be on their guard against terrorists. In a statement, it said that “stadiums, fan zones, venues broadcasting the tournament and transport hubs and links represent potential targets for terrorists”.

And it also warns supporters of visiting teams to be “vigilant at all times, especially in areas hosting Euro 2016 events, and follow the advice of local French authorities”.

It comes after officials in Ukraine revealed they had arrested a Frenchman who was plotting a series of strikes in his homeland, although the Foreign Office says this is not the reason for it issuing fresh guidance. Commander Dean Haydon, the head of Scotland Yard’s anti-terror squad, said it is working closely with the French authorities and other police and intelligence services across the world to make the championships as safe as possible. He said, “Certainly we have seen propaganda, Islamic State (IS) and potential talk of plots against the Euros, but we’re working with all those various different agencies to police and make (them) a safe event and a safe games.”

“We’re a key part of the planning. Although the ultimate policing of the event and the planning is for the French, we are all involved in properly trying to understand the threat, if there is one.”

NEW DELHI, Jun 7 (Agencies): Olympic bronze medallist and professional boxer Vijender Singh, who will take on former European champion Kerry Hope for the WBO Asia super middleweight title bout at the Thyagaraj Stadium on July 16, said he wants a shot at the Rio Olympics. The qualifier for the Olympics is scheduled in Venezuela from July 3. “Since pro boxers are allowed to take part, I want to play the qualifier.

This is a matter of representing the country, why should I leave the opportunity,” said Vijender on Monday.

However, his UK-based promoter and head of Queensberry Promotions, Francis Warren, didn’t approve of Vijender’s dream. “I won’t at all be happy if he wants to go there. As I see it, there is no time. Of course, he is his own man, he has his own mind but that cannot hinder what we have planned for him because it’s taken a year to reach where he has. He has contractual obligations with us,” said Warren.

Vijender seemed to have made up his mind. “Yes, the promoters have been right in showing their discontent with my Olympic plan because we are legally bound to them by contract. But a contract doesn’t mean they have full control on my decisions. I will take the decisions and will sit and discuss, even if it asks for any legal formality. If I get a good legal advice, I would surely want to go.

bound effort parried by Sergio Romero.

Romero again denied Sanchez from a free-kick as Chile grew in confidence.

Argentina took the lead six minutes into the second half when Banega picked up the ball in midfield and played in Di Maria and the Paris Saint-Germain winger took one touch before rifling the ball past Claudio Bravo.

Chile hit back and Romero had to be on his toes to deny Vidal but La Albiceleste then went down the other end and doubled their lead with a goal reminiscent of the first.

Di Maria turned provider this time and his ball played in Banega down the left channel and he drilled a left-footed effort into the roof of the net via a slight deflection in the 59th minute.

Sergio Aguero could have killed the game off with

Vijender Singh “I know the promoter has spent a lot of money, but at the end of the day if I am not happy, it doesn’t make sense. If there is a chance in Venezuela and if I have to qualify, I have to inform the authorities about what I will be doing ,” he said.

“If Vijender wins on July 16, he will enter the top-15 of the WBO rankings. From there, we are looking at a world title bout in the next few months.

It (going to the Olympic qualifiers) is not something he can decide on his own. He will have to discuss with us and we will do that behind closed doors,” said Warren. Vijender’s Olympic plan looks un realistic as Vik as Kris han could also take part in the qualifier in 75 kg.

“If Vikas wins the berth, I will be happy for him. I don’t have a problem because I will then try in 81kg category. It is the Olympics and we should not be fighting amongs teach other,” said Vijender.

McCullum stands by fixing evidence against Cairns London, Jun 7 (Agencies): Brendon McCullum said on Monday he stood by the evidence he gave against New Zealand great Chris Cairns as he urged the International Cricket Council to be more “professional” in dealing with players alleging match-fixing.

Former New Zealand captain McCullum, delivering the MCC Spirit of Cricket Cowdrey Lecture at Lord’s, also questioned whether handing out life bans to players such as former team-mate Lou Vincent, who acknowledged their wrongdoing, would encourage others to come forward.

McCullum, then still an active international cricketer, gave evidence against Cairns in a perjury trial in London which ended with the acquittal of the former all-rounder in November last year. Charges were brought against Cairns after he sued Indian Premier League chairman Lalit Modi for libel in 2012 over a 2010 tweet in which the administrator accused him of match-fixing. McCullum, as he had done in court, said

Brendon McCullum “former hero” Cairns had approached him to fix matches - allegations Cairns denies. “I think it is appropriate, standing here at ‘the Home of Cricket’ (Lord’s), to confirm that I stand by everything said in my statements and the evidence I gave at Southwark Crown Court,” McCullum, 34, said. Players are told that failure to report an approach is almost as serious as any offence itself.

McCullum added he did not report Cairns’s approach until 2011 because he felt “scared”, and was later taken back by the “very casual”

manner in which his allegations were noted, but not recorded, by a member of the ICC’s anticorruption and security unit (ACSU). McCullum then made two more statements, another to the ACSU and to London’s Metropolitan Police.

Recalling he was “hammered” by Cairns’ lawyer for making three statements, McCullum said someone at the ICC should have realised his evidence might one day be used in court. “I think players deserve better from the ICC and that, in the future, the evidence gathering exercise has to be much more thorough, more professional. “In my opinion a person taking a statement should ensure that the witness is advised about what may occur.”

McCullum’s evidence was then leaked to Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper.

“How can the game’s governing body expect players to co-operate with it when it is then responsible for leaking confidential statements to the media?,” he said Monday.

Focus on England, not transfers, Hodgson tells players London, Jun 7 (Agencies): England manager Roy Hodgson has told his squad to forget about potential club transfers and focus on their Euro 2016 campaign.

With Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy the subject of a bid from Arsenal, according to British media, Hodgson has reportedly banned agents from the team hotel in Chantilly, though he is more concerned

with players concentrating on the job at hand. England open their Group B campaign against Russia on Saturday before facing Wales and Slovakia. “Whether they (agents) come to the hotel or not is a moot point,” he was quoted as saying on The Independent website. “They will be talking to the players face to face, on the phone or via Skype or Facebook , who the hell knows? But

one thing this group of players know and have accepted is that when you are on England duty, you are on England duty.

Hodgson added that if a player decided to move clubs while on England duty he would not be allowed to leave to undertake a medical. “It is not a question of you sorting out your future, or diving off for medicals,” he said. “We control all of that and you have to ac-

MAIN SPEAKER REV. ZOTUO KIEWHUO SENIOR PASTOR, KOINONIA BAPTIST CHURCH

LOS ANGELES, Jun 7 (Agencies): Two days after her stunning loss to Garbine Muguruza in the French Open final, Serena Williams scored a different win on Monday, when Forbes Magazine reported she has overtaken Maria Sharapova as the world’s highest-paid sportswoman. Williams earned $28.9 million over the past 12 months, the financial magazine reported in an article posted on its website. Russian tennis star Sharapova had held the title for the past 11 years.

Williams, 34, has dominated her sport for more than a decade. She won her second Grand Slam in 2002 before going on to win 19 more since then. After falling at Roland Garros on Saturday, she vowed to keep trying to equal Steffi Graf ’s Open-era record of 22 Grand Slam titles.

Williams’s career prize money of $77.6 million amounts to more than twice as much as any other sportswoman’s. However, Sharapova dominated in endorsement profits before companies including Nike, American Express, Porsche and TAG Heuer distanced themselves after she tested positive for the recently banned drug meldonium earlier this year. Sharapova earned $21.9 million over the past 12 months, down almost $8 million from the previous year, Forbes said.

Santa Clara, Jun 7 (Agencies): Lionel Messi watched from the bench as Argentina opened their Copa America campaign with a 2-1 victory over Chile in Santa Clara in Group D. Messi is still struggling with a back injury suffered in the friendly clash with Honduras last month but was not needed as Angel Di Maria and Ever Banega scored early in the second half to put Argentina in control, before Jose Fuenzalida headed home a late consolation effort for Chile at Levi’s Stadium.

Gerardo Martino’s team started brightly and Nicolas Gaitan, drafted into the starting line-up in place of Messi, almost gave them a secondminute lead but he could not keep his header down and the ball drifted harmlessly over the crossbar.

Chile forward Alexis Sanchez attempts to hold on to the ball under pressure from Di Maria (left).

Blas Perez scored twice as Panama began their firstever Copa America campaign with a 2-1 Group D victory over Bolivia.

Perez gave Panama an 11th-minute lead before Juan Carlos Arce levelled things up nine minutes after the interval in Orlando on Monday.

But just as the match looked as though it was going to end up all square, Perez rifled home his second of the evening to secure all three points.

Panama started brightly and went ahead when Alberto Quintero picked out Perez and he made no mistake in putting the ball past Carlos Lampe.

La Verde hauled themselves level in the 54th minute when a long free-kick from the right from Martin SmedbergDalence was deflected into the path of Arce by defender Harold Cummings and he rifled home.

Luis Tejada then wasted a golden opportunity to win the game with five minutes remaining, firing high and wide after being gifted acres of space in the Panama box.

And Tejada was made to pay just two minutes later when Perez bagged his second goal of the game, latching onto a neat cut back from Abdiel Arroyo to pick his spot and drive home the winner.

India rout Laos 6-1 in Asian Cup qualifiers 3rd Nagaland veteran badminton tourney

Players in action the match between India (Blue) and Laos (red) at AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019 (Qualifiers Pay-off Round) at Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in Guwahati on Tuesday. (PTI) G u waha t i , J u n 7 (IANS): Jeje Lalpekhlua continued his free-scoring form, netting a brace to inspire the Indian football team to a 6-1 second leg victory against Laos here on Tuesday, ensuring progression to the 2019 Asian Cup’s third qualifying round with a 7-1 aggregate score.

India, who won the first away leg game 1-0 thanks to

a Jeje goal, saw their advantage evaporate as Laos took the lead at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium through Khonesavanh Sihavong.

But India’s response was impressive and clinical, scoring through the in-form Jeje (43th, 74th minutes), youngster Sumit Passi (46th), Sandesh Jhingan (48th), Mohammed Rafique (83rd) and Fulganco Cardozo (87th).

The 163rd ranked Indians were seeking to extend the advantage gained at the first leg. But they were stunned when the visitors, ranked 11 rungs below them, netted in the 16th minute to level the aggregate score 1-1.

Sitthideth Khanthavong raced past a lax Rino Anto on the left flank and his well intended square pass into the box was well placed by

Sihavong. India were stung into action after conceding and they applied themselves in a greater capacity, dominating possession and dictating the flow of action.

After several misses, they levelled in the 43rd minute inspired by an opportunistic Jeje who slotted a Jackichand Singh cross onto the bottom corner of the net.

It ensured India’s lead in the aggregate score and swung the fortune of the match decidedly towards the hosts.

An unmarked Passi strengthened that domination scoring just at the stroke of half-time, capitalising on another impressive Jakichand creation.

After the break it was all India as their superior attacking capability blew Laos away.

Coming forwards in numbers and attacking from both flanks, they tormented the helpless Laos defence and Sandesh Jhingan made it 3-1 (4-1 overall) with a feeble header in the 48th minute.

The tie was as good as done but Rafique and Cardozo also made merry, helping themselves to precious international goals even though more appreciated would have been a Jeje hat-trick.

But his fine left-footed volley rebounded off the bar to deny him a deserving feat in a successful match for India.

AIFF launches global scouting prog for U-17 WC team

N e w D e l hi , J u n 7 (IANS): The All India Football Federation (AIFF) in collaboration with the Sports Authority of India (SAI) launched a global scouting programme on Tuesday to identify players for the U-16 team presently preparing for the U-17 World Cup. The U-17 World Cup is scheduled to be held in India during September-October 2017.

The programme has been named the SAI-AIFF Overseas Scouting Project

(OSP). It will kick-off with onfield trials in Dubai on June 10-11 for 2000 and 2001 born boys residing in the United Arab Emirates and nearby states/countries, AIFF said in a release.

The programme is targeted at boys currently holding Indian passports. It will move to other countries in the coming months.

An online video management platform will be launched after the Dubai trials for eligible players residing outside India to submit their

playing videos. The scouting team will watch these videos and the shortlisted players would be invited for a round of on-field trials in their country of residence or to a country in that region.

The selected players will be closely looked at by Indian U-17 head coach Nicolai Adam before drafting them into the final World Cup squad.

“The U-17 World Cup is a significant event in the Indian football calendar and to ensure that we field our best

team, the AIFF has ventured out to NRIs holding Indian passports to give their kids a chance to represent India,” AIFF president Praful Patel said in the release.

“This project wouldn’t have been possible without the wholehearted support of the sports ministry and SAI. I need to thank them for their support to ensure a foolproof scouting system as we zero down on the final squad for the 2017 U-17 World Cup,” AIFF general secretary Kushal Das said.
