Correspondent KOHIMA, AUG 17 (NPN): Activists of Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) under the aegis of North East Stu dents’ Organisation (NESO) staged a three-hour sit-in dharna outside its office premises here on Wednesday against Citizenship Amend ment Act (CAA) and Armed Force Special Powers Act (AFSPA) and to demand proper implementation of Inner Line Permit (ILP), among others. Similar pro tests were also held across other North Eastern States under the banner of NESO. Addressing the gather ing, NSF president Kegway hun Tep said NESO during its executive and federating units meeting on August 3 decided to on a three-hour protest in all the North-east ern States’ capitals against CAA, AFSPA and other issues confronting the re gion, besides seeking proper implementation of ILP. Will not allow CAA to be implemented: Highlight ing the charter of demands of NESO, he asserted that as the North-eastern States were already occupied by outsiders and illegal immi grants even without imple mentation of CAA, the Act would not be allowed to be implemented in the region. He recalled that despite stiff opposition from the North-eastern States, the Central government went ahead and introduced the Bill in Parliament, which passed it in 2019. He alleged that the BJP government was committed to implement ing the Act before the next Assembly election, which would not be allowed, he added. Govt ILP portal nonfunctional: Tep said even though the State govern ment was claiming that ILP was being implemented, the ILP portal was not-function al. He alleged that many visitors and labourers who had entered Nagaland were not even aware to fill up the ILP form and nor knew that they needed to apply for ILP before entering the State. He claimed that during a surprise check at Nagaland Gate in 2019, NSF activists detected more than 1,600 persons without ILP, adding that the documents seized then were still under the federation’s custody. He remarked that the State government talked about unemployment, but outsiders were capturing the local markets, thereby depriving Naga youth of opportunities. In this regard, he urged the government to ensure strict implementation of ILP and also update Na tional Register of Citizens (NRC) 1951. AFSPA an evil law: Terming AFSPA as an evil law, Tep insisted that the law should be repealed at any cost, lamenting that even the December 4 massacre issue was made to die down without delivering justice to the victims’ families. He disclosed that the Oting incident was discussed at the NESO meeting where it was resolved to demand that justice be delivered to the victims’ kin without delay, besides demanding repeal of AFSPA, alleging that the armed forces were here to harass and not to protect the citizens. Wrong portrayal of NE in school textbooks: Tep mentioned that there was flawed representation of the Northeast in CBSE school textbooks and cited an in stance of a Class III textbook wrongly mentioning that the official languages of Naga land, Meghalaya and Mani pur were Bengali, Nepali etc.

Covid still not over, precaution dose rate needs a boost: Dr. Paul KABUL, AUG 17 (IANS): Many worshippers are feared dead following an explosion inside a mosque in the northern part of the Afghan capital Kabul. The blast occurred dur ing evening prayer in the Kotal-e-Khairkhana area of the city, Kabul police spokesman Khalid Zadran was quoted as saying by dpa on Wednesday.Zadransaid the ex act number of casualties was not clear but security forces were investigating the incident. Unconfirmed reports suggested that at least 20 people, including the mosque Imam Mawlawi Amir Mohammad Kabuli, were killed in the blast and 40 others were injured. There was no immedi ate claim of responsibility for the incident. Despite the Taliban’s assertion that they have brought security to the nation, the country is witnessing regular attacks, mostly claimed by the Islam ic State. The Taliban retook power in August 2021 dur ing the chaotic withdrawal of the US-led NATO forces and re-imposed their strict rule. No country has yet recognised the hardliners’ de facto government.
One of the important ongoing research triggered by Covid is airborne trans mission of pathogens. “We are trying to understand short and long-range aero sols to find out how patho gens spread,” she said. Shar ing knowledge and data on science will be one of the key factors to manage pandemics.Itwill also be impor tant for scientists to ensure myths, misconceptions, and disinformation, emerging from social media, do not harm. Vaccine hesitation is the reason for 14,000-15,000 deaths due to the pandemic, she said.

Earlier on Wednesday, Puri, the Union Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs, tweeted that India has always welcomed those who have sought refuge in the country and all Rohingya refugees would be shifted to EWS flats in east Delhi’s Bakkarwala area. But in the evening, he shared the Home Ministry statement clarifying the issue of Rohingya illegal foreigners and said it “gives out the correct position”. In the statement, the Home Ministry said, “With respect to news reports in certain sections of media regarding Rohingya illegal foreigners, it is clarified that the MHA has not given any directions to provide EWS flats to Rohingya illegal migrants at Bakkarwala in New Delhi.”
Puri had in his morning tweets tagged a news agency story and said those who had made a career out of spreading canards on India’s refugee policy deliberately linking it to CAA will be disappointed.“India respects & follows @UN Refugee Convention 1951 & provides refuge to all, regardless of their race, religion or creed,” he said. “India has always welcomed those who have sought refuge in the country.

NEW DELHI, AUG 17 (PTI): The CBI has frozen fixed deposits worth Rs 16.97 crore allegedly belonging to TMC leader Anubrata Mondal and his family members in connection with a case of cattle smuggling across the Indo-Bangladesh border, officials said Wednesday. The agency detected the fixed deposits in State Bank of India, Axis Bank and Bank of India during the questioning of several close aides of Mondal and other witnesses during its ongoing probe in the case, they said.The probe has found that Mondal allegedly gave cash to his aides who used to deposit it in bank accounts and later set up fixed deposits in his name, they said.The central agency kept the heat on Mondal and grilled his accountant Manish Kothari for over two hours at its temporary camp office in TheBolpur.agency also recorded statements of two bank officials of the bank where the Mondal has accounts, the CBI officials said. The CBI suspects that several bank accounts belonging to Mondal’s daughter Sukanya were used for financial transactions in the scam, they said. A four-member agency team on Wednesday visited Mondal’s Nichupatti residence in Bolpur to question Sukanya, a primary school teacher, but left within 10 minutes after she refused to talk to them. The team had gone to question Sukanya about the alleged wealth accumulated by her which does not look justified going by her salary and profession.Theteam returned after she said she was not in an “emotionally good shape” due to the recent death of her mother and arrest of her father. The CBI officials said she did not cooperate in the investigation. Under scanner are several properties in the name of Sukanya, who is also director in some companies.Mondal (62), who is currently TMC’s Birbhum district president and member of the party’s national working committee, rose to prominence in the 11 years of the TMC regime in Bengal, mostly for his audacious statements and browbeating.Bornin1960 to a family of farmers in Birbhum, Mondal, popularly known as ‘Keshto’, the eldest of five siblings, started his career as a fish trader in Suri.
Economy must run faster to address socio-eco problems
…Jesus…said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have…and come, follow Me.” But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich. —Luke 18:22-23 Have you ever heard the Master say something very difficult to you? If you haven’t, I question whether you have ever heard Him say anything at all. Jesus says a tremendous amount to us that we listen to, but do not actually hear. And once we do hear Him, His words are harsh and unyielding. Jesus did not show the least concern that this rich young ruler should do what He told him, nor did Jesus make any attempt to keep this man with Him. He simply said to him, “Sell all that you have…and come, follow Me.” Our Lord never pleaded with him; He never tried to lure him— He simply spoke the strictest words that hu man ears have ever heard, and then left him alone. Have I ever heard Jesus say something difficult and unyielding to me? Has He said something personally to me to which I have deliberately listened— not something I can explain for the sake of others, but something I have heard Him say directly to me? This man understood what Jesus said. He heard it clearly, realizing the full impact of its meaning, and it broke his heart. He did not go away as a defiant person, but as one who was sorrowful and discouraged. He had come to Jesus on fire with zeal and determination, but the words of Jesus simply froze him. Instead of producing enthusiastic devotion to Jesus, they produced heartbreaking discouragement. And Jesus did not go after him, but let him go. Our Lord knows per fectly well that once His word is truly heard, it will bear fruit sooner or later. What is so terrible is that some of us prevent His words from bearing fruit in our present life. I wonder what we will say when we finally make up our minds to be devoted to Him on that particular point? One thing is certain— He will never throw our past failures back in our faces.

To wait a little longer Veteran Congress leaders– party president K. Therie and former chief minister K.L. Chishi- have taken on their one-time party colleague and present chief minister Neiphiu Rio on his speech on the occasion of 76th Independence Day on August 15,2022 especially on the issue of Naga political solution. As an academic exercise, the matter would not have attracted flak had the ‘top agenda’ of the regional party leaders who have been ruling the government, was made only in passing. Of course, every Naga in Nagaland and other areas know that the regional party that eventually came to power and actively backed by the BJP government at the Centre; had promised that solution to the Naga political issue would be secured within three months of coming to power in 2003. That was an awe some, authoritative and assertive announcement or promise, if ever there was one. The regional party benefitted hugely in the form of financial reward given by the BJP for having defeated its arch enemy the Congress with a peace bonus of Rs. 365 crore in 2003. It is also known to Nagas of Nagaland as to how the elections since 2003 were fought and how those who were on the same page are today in separate political factions. After months turned to years and years into decades, there was no solu tion but only rhetoric. Yet the coalitions of regional parties- NPF and now NDPP- with BJP continue to assure Nagas that talks are ongoing and moving in the right direction. The Congress took on the speech of chief minister Neiphiu Rio was for urging Nagas to be patient on solution since it cannot be achieved as and when desired. Quite obviously no one ever said solution can be achieved in one go as promised the leaders and those now in opposition in 2003. How ever, despite decades of talks that had also resulted in written agreements with the Naga Political Groups (NPGs) solution is still evasive. There are many points that have been raised in the recent past by Congress and other organizations on the question able role being played by the regional-BJP alliance, now the opposition-less United Democratic Alliance (UDA). To cut the long story short, Nagas have been told consistently, even after October 31, 2019 that talks were “ongoing”. The leaders also chose to ad dress the Centre’s Representative as Interlocutor. Like the saying “you can fool all the people some time, some people all the time but not all the people all the time”, the game was up. With no other way out, the reunited and expanded legislators’ forum now called Parliamentary Core Committee on Naga Political Issue (PCCoNPI) had finally admitted on July 16, 2022 that talks have concluded on October 31, 2019 and called on the Centre to secure early so lution. However, the resolution took another innocu ous deviation by urging upon the prime minister and the home minister to get directly involved in sorting out the competencies. That the UDA-comprised PC CoNPI leaders went to Delhi ostensibly to relay the resolution but instead came out with the seat sharing formula only infuriated the public. After all these, to now urge upon people to be patient is restating the same point made in 1998 by the then ruling govern ment which was condemned for maintaining that there can be no specific time or date for solution. Of course, today 25 years is indeed too long a period and people’s patience is wearing thin.
Sir, I would like draw the attention of the responsible Electri cal Department to the fact that there is frequent breakdown of electricity in our locality, Nagarjan. There are power cuts for 10-12 hours every other night for the past two weeks. This problem has been continuously going on ever since the beginning of the month. The residences of the area are in a problematic situation due to the frequent power cuts. The department has not issued any notice regarding the cause or reason for such power outage. The concerned authorities should listen to the grievances of the public, and address the problem at the earliest without fail. Imna Jamir, Half Nagarjan, (podcast.imna@gmail.com)Dimapur,

The India-China border difficulties stem from the colonial period while the India-Pakistan border prob lems have their origin in Pakistan’s hostility towards India. Unfortunately, there seems to be no prospect of a resolution of either issue in the foreseeable future. The Chinese threat will only increase in time. China aspires to surpass the US as the world’s pre-eminent power. For this, it wishes to settle its periphery on its own terms. Its preferred manner of dealing with India is to keep it in a pincer through Pakistan. Through CPEC it is seeking to impart new and positive dimensions to its ties with Pakistan.

If it was a rational state, with the security provided by its nuclear weapons, it would have reoriented ties with India. There is no likeli hood, however, that Pakistan would do so. It will continue to rely on calibrated use of terror to keep India tied down in J&K. As India’s footprint increases in the world, it must realise that its true attraction to smaller states comes from the example of its democratic institutions embedded in the Constitu tion. Newly independent countries had admired these institutions which enhanced individual freedoms and ushered in social-economic reform, seeking to build an egalitarian, peaceful and harmonious society embrac ing all Indians. India at 75 must ensure that the strength of these institutions is never impaired.
It is necessary to re call this period of Indian renaissance, for some of the concerns of today have their roots in the ideational contestations of that stirring period. And, the contested idea, relevant to contem porary India, is this: where do the roots of nationalism lie? In a united geography with varied cultures, or in a cultural stream of ancient origin unsullied by the wa ters which may have flowed, even over extended periods of time, through this vast land? This is the great ide ational divide that confronts India at 75. It has to be admitted that while it was thought to have been settled in the first four decades of Independence, in favour of a political nationalism, the forces subscribing to ‘cul tural’ nationalism have come to the fore and have gained greater acceptance. The Par tition of the country on the basis of religion also ensured that this fundamental debate would remain alive. Even if the underpin nings of nationalism are taken to be cultural, what should be the nature of the public culture? Should it be open, inclusive,

The great ideational divide
75 years of ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ I ndia ’s economic journey started with Independence. Many people do not re alise that India’s economic progress in the first half of the twentieth century under British rule was dismal. During these five decades, India’s annual growth rate was just 0.9%. With population growing at 0.83%, per capita income remained almost flat. Immediately after Independence, growth became the most urgent concern for policymakers.Thedominant view in the literature on development eco nomics in the 1950s and 1960s was that the government had an important role to play and that it should undertake activi ties that would compensate for ‘market failure’. The literature also emphasized the benefit of a coordinated and consistent set of investment decisions. It is this line of reason ing that led most developing countries, including India, to formulate economy-wide plans. Though India adopted a mixed economy, the mix was tilted heavily towards state, at least incrementally. However, by the 1970s, it was becoming clear that the model we had chosen was not delivering. But our poli cymakers refused to recognize this. It was around that time China made a big change. It was the crisis of 1990–91 that compelled the policymakers to turn to an ‘idea whose time had come’. The break with the past came in three important directions – first to dismantle the complex regime of licences, permits and controls, second to reverse the strong bias towards state ownership and third to abandon the inward-looking trade policy. Trends in growth India’s average growth till the end of the 1970s remained modest with the average growth rate being 3.5%. However, on several parameters, there were noticeable improvements, such as the literacy rate and life expectancy. There was break through in Agriculture after GreenTheRevolution.industrial base was also widened. The Indian econ omy did grow at 5.6% in the 1980s. But it was accompanied by sharp deterioration in the fis cal and current account deficits and the economy faced the worst crisis in Between1991–92.1992–93 and 2000–01, GDP at factor cost grew annually by 6.20%. Be tween 2001–02 and 2012–13, it grew by 7.4% and the growth rate between 2013–14 and 2019–20 was 6.7%. The best perfor mance was between 2005–06 and 2010–11 when GDP grew by 8.8%, showing what the po tential growth rate of India was. During this period, the invest ment rate reached the peak of 39.1% in 2007–08. However, the growth story suffered a setback after The2011–12.decline in growth rate which started well before the advent of Covid-19 should make the policymakers reflect and introspect. The growth performance since 2012–13 is a bit difficult to interpret. The introduction of a new series on national income with the base 2011–12 has raised many controversies. After good perfor mance in 2015-16 and 2016-17, growth started declining and touched the level of 3.7% in 2019–20. In fact, this period is marked by a sharp decline in gross fixed capital formation rate from 33.4% of GDP in 2012–13 to 28.8% in 2019–20. The economic impact of Covid-19 is largely because of the actions taken to contain the spread of Covid-19 such as the lockdown. The net result has been a decline in growth rate by 6.6 per cent in 2021 and a rise in growth rate by 8.7% in 2021–22. The economy is virtually where it was in April 2020. We have lost two years. The decline in output is even greater when looked at from the trend rate of growth.2022–23 could have been the first normal year after Co vid-19. However, the economic impact of Russia-Ukraine war can be severe, if it continues for long. The sudden surge in crude oil prices can severely affect our BOP and the current account deficit can rise to 3% of GDP or even higher. Perhaps, we should settle for a growth rate of 7% in 2022-23. Challenges and oppor tunities Post Covid-19 and post the Russia–Ukraine war, there is need to lay down a clear roadmap for India’s future de velopment. Initially, we need to raise the growth rate to 7% and then follow it up with a growth rate of 8 to 9%. We have shown that in the past we can have a growth rate of 8 to 9% over a sustained period of six to seven years. What is needed is to raise the investment rate steadily back to around 33% of GDP. India’s future growth path cannot be unidimensional. We need a strong export sector, both of goods and services. We also need a strong manufacturing sector domestically both with a view to meeting the domestic demand as well as providing employment to a wide cross sec tion of talent. Our own ‘sunrise industries’ will be different from those of other countries. The rapid pace of globalization that we saw since the beginning of the 1990s will slow down for a variety of reasons. Atmanirbhar should not result in pure import substitution. That is neither economically sound nor is it desirable. An open economy with some limitations is still the best route to follow. We need to raise the sav ings and investment rates rapidly and keep the ICOR around 4 which is a reflection of the efficiency with which we use capital and labour. Growth is the answer to many of our socioeconomic problems. In terms of growth, we have a long way to go. We need to run faster.

All through history, the idea prevailed that the vast land from the Himalayas in the north to the ocean in the south, and from the sea in the west to the sea in the east had an underlying unity. It was seldom admin istratively united nor was it populated with people who followed a rigid uniformity in custom and practice, but the concept of unity was reflected in ancient sacred texts and became part of popular consciousness. The British gave the Indian sub continent administrative unity — not uniformity though — through a colonial state. However, the idea of Indian nationalism which emerged during colonial rule was the response of the Indian people to the loss of freedom. This response embraced ideas from India’s own rich inheritance, and also from the European en lightenment. Many streams of thought and consequent action came up, in what be came a great movement for national independence and a comprehensive reformation of Indian society.

I feel so grateful and thankful to God that I got a chance to join the rest of fellow citizens of India to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee or 75 years of Independence Day of India. For the first time I saw the public hoisting the Indian Flag in almost ev ery house in the city. This shows the love and pride of the people which comes out from their own hearts. It is a good sign of returning to the old days when we were able to celebrate the Independence Day in the schools, churches government institutions etc. But, my simple thoughts go to the youth of the country. Are they (the youth) truly celebrating or is it a joy for two days only. Are the rulers of the country and states really thinking about the youth who are the future of the family, society, the state and the country or about those hailing from the downtrodden families and villages. Where will our youth go when they are not getting proper jobs whether in the government or private sector or agriculture or in any other profession. The top policy makers and the powers that can have an influence and even the lower ranks are too busy with their own interests. No doubt, from the above there is a small percentage who really think about the welfare of the state and the country in general and the youth in particular but they are not in a position to do anything because the system is either too comple x or they are not allowed to carry on their Mymission.simple suggestion to all those who are in power, to please put the country and the youth first, for the prosperity of the nation. Create avenues for employment in every sector. Show the way through your deeds and not through your speech. Actions speak louder than words. P.S.R.

NNC clarifies on president’s speech
D o you procrastinate more than once? Do you ask why you don’t simply continue ahead with it? In the event that delaying is a “hole among expectation and activity” what holds you back from setting your goal in motion? You’re following in , some admirable people’s footsteps since practically everybody hesitates. Yet, not every person is a slacker. Stalling is impulsivity prevail ing upon potential compensations. To this end it’s on the increment. Our cutting edge world has boundless in terruptions: a plenty of TV channels, electronic games and Internet entice ments. Docks Steel discussing about hesitation says, “You were unable to plan a more terrible workplace on the off chance that you attempted”. Historically, it was said tarrying was brought about by compulsiveness, anxiety toward disappointment, and insubordination to tyrannical guard ians that one has never grown out of. Then there were the daredevils who affirm they work best under tension and use tarrying to make that strain Survive “yes-but” and the tarrying it causes. To delay utilize the definite fire “yes-but” method: “Indeed, I realize that I really want to finish that, how ever not currently.” It regularly works brilliantly effectively. “I’d very much want to go after that position, however I’m most likely not qualified.” The “yes” demonstrates your advantage in the gig. The “but” is your reason for not applying.Are you a yes-but? Dr. Arthur Freeman and Rose DeWolf, creators of The 10 Dumbest Mistakes Smart People Make, say a typical explanation you might delay in awk ward circumstances is on the grounds that you have a low capacity to bear dissatisfaction. Since disappointment is an unavoidable truth you’ll have to endure unsavory conditions better on the off chance that you hope to beat this extremely powerful slow ing down training. Recognizing the disagreeableness of your undertaking can help. However, don’t overdo it. On the off chance that you misrepresent how disagreeable the occupation is you’ll be right once again into “yesbut.” Instead, deliberately recognize the due date of your responsibility and at least make a strategy To push ahead , let’s change our “yes-but” to “yes-and.” Instead of, “I’d very much want to go after that position, but I’m qualified?”, say, “I’d very much want to go after that position and I really want to look into the prerequisites.” “Yes-however” gives you pardons. “Indeed and” shows you the means you’ll have to take.”Delay is the deadli est type of forswearing”. Escape the lingering mode and on second thought center around a beginning stage. Each time you hear yourself say “OK But” pause and say “OK and” to see what the inferred required advances are, so that you can begin your activity plan. Frequently, beating hesitation is just venturing out for better results later. At last you should invest your effort where your objectives are. On the off chance that you don’t achieve them, make your objectives more modest and simpler to accomplish extending them as your progress. Putting off the less lovely for the more prompt and more appealing is extremely ordinary. We as a whole do it some of the time. Yet, for persistent slackers recall the main thing to do is simply start! Push toward your objective by taking one step at a time. So What are you hanging tight for? Get rolling!

A propos the “Message on 75 years of Naga Independence day” by of Gen (Retd) Thinoselie M Keyho, owing to issues in translation and interpretation, a section of the speech that appeared in the media (quote) “Leaving others matters aside,……(upto)……free from Indian oppression in its sovereign land” (unquote) should read as: “Leaving others aside, I myself is a proponent of the Anti-Shillong Accord, the Accord of which is nothing but the acceptance of the Indian Constitution and surrendering of arms and ammunition. However the newly formed (NSCN/GPRN) faction of the Anti-Shillong Accord group left us in the NNC/FGN even though we had the same Anti-Shillong Accord stand and despite us backing them most staunchly. Inspite of their departure however, the NNC/FGN lives on most tenaciously and will never give up on the Naga aspiration of being free from Indian military occupation, dominion and op pression in its sovereign land.” Gen (Retd.)

NEW DELHI/JAMMU, AUG 16 (PTI): Congress president Sonia Gandhi Tuesday appointed former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Ghulam Nabi Azad as the party’s cam paign committee chief in the union territory, but he declined the offer. As part of a compre hensive revamp of the or ganisation in Jammu and Kashmir, Gandhi also ap pointed Vikar Rasool Wani, considered close to Azad, as the new JK unit chief. Azad is a prominent mem ber of the G23 grouping within the Congress which has been critical of the lead ership and has been seeking an organisational overhaul. Azad, who retired from the Rajya Sabha last year, was not renominated to the upper house by the Congress. In the revamped unit, Raman Bhalla was named as the working pres ident of J&K Congress and Azad as champaign com mittee chief, with former PDP leader Tariq Hamid Karra as vice chief of the campaign panel.

NEW DELHI, AUG 17 (AGENCIES): The fam ily of Bilkis Bano -- the woman gangraped during the 2002 Gujarat riots -- are terrified after the Gujarat government released the 11 rapists on Monday. “The Supreme Court, the Bombay High Court gave orders and still... In just one move, our fight of 18 years is over. We are scared. We weren’t in formed about the release,” Bilkis Bano’s husband Yakub Rasul told NDTV in an exclusive interview. The men walked free on Independence Day. Cellphone videos circu lated later on social media showed them being feted with sweets and garlands.

(From p-1) After these changes, the board now has the full strength of 11 members while the CEC has 15 lead ers. The new entrants to the CEC are Rajasthan leader Om Mathur and BJP women wing chief Vanathi Srini vasan besides Fadnavis and Bhupender Yadav. Sriniva san replaces her predecessor Vijaya Rahatkar as the par ty’s ‘Mahila Morcha’ chief as its an ex-officio member. With Chouhan gone, there is no chief minister on the board. There was specu lation that Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath may make an entry. Union minis ter Piyush Goyal, who is also the Leader of the House in Rajya Sabha, Dharmendra Pradhan and Bhupender Yadav were also seen as contenders. Yadav, though, is in the CEC now. Both Yediyurappa and Jatiya are over 75 years of age, an informal age bar within the party for holding important posts as it has gone all out to reduce the average age of its organisational leaders. Yediyurappa’s inclusion highlights the party’s ef forts to reward the Lingayat leader whose community is critical to its poll prospects in the Karnataka assembly election slated for the next year. Fadnavis’ induction into the CEC is seen as a nod to his importance after the former Maharash tra CM was asked by the party to become the deputy chief minister in the Eknath Shinde-led government, a position for which he was initially reluctant. This is the first time the board has been rejigged under Nadda, who took over as the par ty president in 2020. The board had several vacancies caused by the death of Arun Jaitley and Sushma Swaraj while Venkaiah Naidu and Thaawarchand Gehlot had to leave it after becoming Vice President and state governor respectively. When Shah was the party presi dent, veteran leaders L K Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi were eased out of the crucial party body in 2014 and made members of ‘Margdarshak Mandal’, as the party on Modi’s watch worked to make the or ganisation and government more youthful. Recently at an event in Nagpur, Gadkari was reportedly quoted as saying that present-day poli tics is more about powerplay, and at times he thinks of quitting politics. Among the new board members, Sudha Yadav and Laxman are from the Other Backward Classes while former Union minister Jatia is from the Scheduled Castes. Sonowal is tribal. Party sources said the exercise shows how the party “rewards” old workers and values their “Thereexperience.isalsoan em phasis on diversity. Sonowal is from the Northeast, Lax man and Yediyurappa hail from the South. In Lalpura, there is a Sikh representing minorities,” a leader said. He described Sudha Yadav as a self-made po litical leader whose husband was martyred in Kargil.

The NDPP 48th Moka A/C profoundly express our appreciation to the State Government under the leadership of the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Nagaland Shri. Neiphiu Rio for taking the initiative in achieving remarkable progress in all dimensions under Moka Assembly Constituency throughout his entire innings in DAN-I, II, III & UDA PriorGovernment.to2003,Moka was one of the most neglected Constituencies in the state. One of the reasons for lack of development is the absence of separate administration set up, causing huge inconveniences both for the general public in allowing easy access to convey their grievances and for the Government Officials to supervise beyond proportionate administrable jurisdiction, as such, a large section of people are side-lined and deprived of adequate due shares from the Government. However, under the current regime, the Constituency has seen massive development revival through creation of various important offices such as SDO (Civil) Angjangyang, RD Block Angjangyang and Police Station Angjangyang and other infrastructures. In the sole interest of the people, the government re-structured administrative jurisdiction, wherein, Mopong EAC Headquarter was placed under the supervision of Angjangyang Sub-Division in 2014, which is a welcomed step and a political decision taken by the government. Furthermore, the party expresses gratitude in connection with recent posting of Shri. Wiridin, NCS as EAC Mopong. Therefore, the party is fully committed for cooperation to the Government and urge upon to continue fulfilling developmental activities in Mopong and Angjangyang Circles. The undersigned reiterate its stand to support and re-elect the incumbent MLA, Shri. E E Pangteang in the upcoming NLA election, 2023 in order to provide stiff and stable government.

HYDERABAD, AUG 17 (AGENCIES): Nikhat Zareen, the reigning world women’s boxing champion and the recentlycrowned gold medallist in the Commonwealth Games, says she is a bit disappointed at missing out on the chance of completing what “would have been a terrific hattrick of gold with the postponement of the Asian Games originally scheduled later this year”. “With the Asiad being rescheduled to next year, I will try to qualify again and go for the gold there,” Nikhat said. “Of course, Paris Olympics is the ultimate dream for sure and the journey started when I was preparing for the last Nationals, itself” she said. “Well, the biggest challenge for me from changing the weight category of 52 kg (in which she won the Worlds gold) to the 48-50 kg in the CWG was to sacrifice my taste for food,” she said with a big smile. “And, honestly, also I didn’t have time to really celebrate my World championship gold as I had to go for training to Belfast for CWG and that training helped me a lot,” she said. “I really enjoyed the CWG and was excited about the first edition. I am very happy that I could win the gold,” she said.

Carlsen recovered from a shock loss against Niemann to march into Round 3 of the Meltwater Champions Chess Tour round-robin. Carlsen’s day started badly as he was blown away by Niemann, the lowest rated player in the tournament.Niemann, coming off a 3-0 loss on Monday, was super-smooth with the black pieces. The killer move was 35... Be4, which wreaked havoc in Carlsen’s defence and ended Niemann’s tilt. In his post-game comment, Niemann summarised his win by simply saying: “Chess speaks for itself.” But Game 2 saw the world No.1 1 hit back in ruthless style to level the score at 1-1. Then in the third game, Carlsen sprung another opening surprise with the dubious 1. a3, played for the first time on the Tour, before moving into a more orthodox queen’s pawn opening. The Norwegian has previously played 1. e3 and 1. f3 -- all highly unorthodoxCarlsenmoves.quickly went a pawn up and secured a beneficial queen trade before turning the screw against his 19-year-old opponent to take the win and go 2-1 up. Niemann now needed to win the next game on demand. He battled hard, but could not hold back the tide. Carlsen won the final game -- despite missing a chance to win a piece -- to take the match 3-1.
